1Chapter 574: Evildoer

5The Solar Cosmic Ray had blast out from the copper lamp, it was brightly colored and yet deadly at the same time. Strong enough to burn the Yuan Shen and vaporize the mortal body in the matter of just seconds!
6
7Zhong Yue morphed into the three-taloned Golden Crow Yuan Shen and shrunk smaller than the size of beans right before the Solar Cosmic Ray reaches to him.
8
9The Golden Crow Yuan Shen has strong immunity against the Solar Cosmic Ray; even more, it could absorb the Solar Cosmic Ray and enhance itself stronger, just like what he had done during the burst of solar storm.
10
11Moreover, his three-taloned Golden Crow Yuan Shen has been staying inside of the crow's nest on the Sui Tree, it was nurtured and nourished more formidable than before. It could now sustain longer and better against the Solar Cosmic Ray.
12
13But despite all of that, Zhong Yue remained cautious and vigilant, he dare not let his guard down not even for a second.
14
15The Solar Cosmic Ray burst out from the copper lamp in an incredible speed. Zhong Yue had only withstood within it for a few seconds before he had to leave. His Yuan Shen was punctured with holes and wounded greatly.
16
17Zhong Yue quickly moved aside from the path of the powerful light ray, and watched as it reflects within the Yin Yang Reincarnation, leaving holes all over the place in just the matter of seconds.
18
19Eventually, the Solar Cosmic Ray has scattered into many thin and narrow light rays that flashes around in a disordered, chaotic manner, adding another few more holes on his already perforated Yuan Shen.
20
21Moments later, Shui Zian, Zuo Xiangsheng and the other Swords Gate experts saw Zhong Yue walking out of Yu Wenju's Yuan Shen secret realm. He quietly moved to the front of the scale mirror and held a dark and gloomy face.
22
23For the first time ever, the other disciples that stood up and greeted him were not reciporated by his usual smile and returned greetings. Instead, Zhong Yue had only nodded without even looking at them in the eyes.
24
25"What's wrong with Elder Zhong? Why is he so furious as if the whole world is owing him money?"
26
27The crowd were curious, and Zhong Yue has abruptly cast out his Yuan Shen in front of the scale mirror. What could they say… it was too pitiful to even look at it. Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen was filled with holes from tip to toe, back to front!
28
29Thousands up to millions of little holes bore through his Yuan Shen in all direction, making it looking like an ant's nest or something even worse. No one could really imagine what kind of incident could have damage his Yuan Shen to this extend!
30
31The wounds inflicted on the Yuan Shen would not reflect on one's mortal body's senses, but the pain and agony would occur within one's soul!
32
33For Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen to suffer such damage, the pain that he endures would be enormous, which clearly explained why he had held a gloomy face and unhappy mood. After all, no one would probably still be happy and gentle while holding against such unbearable pain, most would already be rolling on the ground crying for help.
34
35And yet, Zhong Yue was still able to hold his temperament and walk in a steady gait all the way to the scale mirror without even groaning. Such willpower of his has truly earned the respects of many.
36
37Zhong Yue cast the Sui Tree out in front of the scale mirror. The tree branches have automatically reached for the Golden Crow and tucked it into the nest, while the Golden Crow Yuan Shen has been slowly healed in the nest.
38
39After some time, the Golden Crow Yuan Shen was fully recovered and he kept it back while striding away. But just moments right after, the Zhong Shan Clan young man has walked back and cast out his Golden Crow Yuan Shen again.
40
41His Golden Crow Yuan Shen was also as shabby as before, tiny holes bore through it and turned it into an ant's nest.
42
43He cast the Sui Tree to help in healing the Golden Crow Yuan Shen while looking into the mirror to attend to the tiny flaws and injuries within it. After his Yuan Shen has been healed completely, the young elder walked away again.
44
45Yet, soon after, he had returned into the vicinity of the scale mirror. This time, it was no different still.
46
47The Swords Gate disciples were shocked. In just a day's time, Zhong Yue has been coming back and forth for more than a dozen times. Every time he would leave with a perfect conditioned Golden Crow Yuan Shen and return moments later with a Yuan Shen perforated with holes. His Yuan Shen would be on the brink of dispersing when he return but he was always able to heal it completely before the tragedy happens.
48
49"What is Elder Zhong doing? Why is he always coming back in such a shabby state?", Tian Yanzhong asked curiously, but no one had any answers.
50
51In the passage of time, the frequency of Zhong Yue coming back was lesser and slower. Each time he was wounded and healed himself after, his Golden Crow Yuan Shen would grow a little stronger and formidable than before.
52
53He could clearly feel it, the improvements for better in his Golden Crow Yuan Shen and also its gradual changes in turning into the innate True Spirit.
54
55At this rate, I don't need tens or hundred years to cultivate the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit already!, Zhong Yue was shocked and overjoyed.
56
57All this days of trying, his Yuan Shen was reverting between fully recovered and a fine line away from collapsing. Every time he recovers from the injuries, parts of the Golden Crow Yuan Shen would be refined and changed, eventually making it a whole new Golden Crow Yuan Shen in time.
58
59Further, the fact that his Yuan Shen was growing closer in becoming the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit was truly an unexpected glad tidings.
60
61In his estimation, he would be able to shorten the time by a full 50 years to cultivate his Golden Crow Yuan Shen into the innate True Spirit!
62
63Another month flashed past, he was now finally able to withstand within the Solar Cosmic Ray. When inside of the Solar Cosmic Ray, his body grew larger so as to capture more of the light particles and refine them.
64
65As he could now endure and withstand the Solar Cosmic Ray, it wouldn't be as difficult to refine the Solar Cosmic Ray anymore.
66
67If only I can cultivate the Star Toad Yuan Shen together as well. I have the Innate Tai Yin Qi which is the Sui Tree to the Star Toad Yuan Shen. Sadly, there is no way the Star Toad Yuan Shen can survive in the Solar Cosmic Ray, Zhong Yue sighed in his heart.
68
69This was because the Solar Cosmic Ray was in Yang elemented in nature and could deal far greater damage to the Star Toad Yuan Shen. His Star Toad Yuan Shen wouldn't be able to withstand even a single second before it burns away in the Solar Cosmic Ray.
70
71After over a dozen days, the Solar Cosmic Ray in the Yin Yang Reincarnation grew smaller and dimmer. Another half a day, the Solar Cosmic Ray was completely captured and refined by Zhong Yue, he infused his psyche into it and formed it into various totem patterns.
72
73"Finally…", Zhong Yue heaved a breath. His mortal body walked into the Yin Yang Reincarnation and his Yuan Shen returned to his body. With a change of thought, godly rays flowed out of his hand in the form of totem patterns and turned into a saber, the Solar Divine Saber.
74
75The saber was over ten thousand feet long, purely formed by the Solar Cosmic Ray. It was shining bright in rays but the saber body could not be seen.
76
77After all, the Solar Cosmic Ray was shapeless, it was just a ray of light.
78
79The light ray was changing shapes incessantly, sometimes a long saber, sometimes a swimming fish, sometimes a round sphere like the sun.
80
81Suddenly, the light saber surged into his body and flowed out on his back. It gathered behind him and hovered like a golden sun.
82
83He raised his hand and the golden sun flowed down into his grip as a long saber, then disappearing away right after.
84
85He was still too weak to refine the Solar Divine Saber into any smaller, a 10,000 feet long was the shortest he could have done. If he could have refined and shrunk it smaller, it would be even stronger.
86
87But he has just captured and primitively refined it. When his cultivation base grew stronger and the refinements in it grew deeper, he would be able to wield it according to his own will.
88
89However, there was a huge advantage in using the Solar Cosmic Ray to form the Solar Divine Saber—the Solar Cosmic Ray was shapeless and incorporeal in nature.
90
91In order to cultivate a soul weapon into the shapeless and incorporeal state, one would have to pour in a great amount of effort and hard work in cultivating and refining the soul weapon, especially those that were forged from the divine golds.
92
93Fang Jiange was one who has been cultivating the art of sword right from the start. He started with gradually cultivating the Sword Qi into a flash of sword ray, melt the divine golds and infuse into the sword ray to form a divine ray, which was then eventually turned into a divine sword.
94
95This divine sword of his has taken a great toll on his time and energy.
96
97Whereas Zhong Yue's Solar Divine Saber was already shapeless and incorporeal already when it was forged, it was way better than Fang Jiange's divine sword.
98
99This divine saber was real strong, capable of slashing through the ordinary soul weapons like tofus. More so, it could even inflict great damage to the opponent's Yuan Shen at the same time, it was truly astonishing.
100
101However, there was one weakness still—it was too light-weighted.
102
103The Solar Cosmic Ray was shapeless and incorporeal, it was just a ray of light and barely carried any weight in it, even lighter than the feathers.
104
105But a heavy weight was one of the most important calibres of a saber. A good saber would always be heavy, so that when it was wielded, it would be strong and impactful; which sadly, was one of the few flaws in the Solar Divine Saber.
106
107However, Zhong Yue didn't worry much. He thought, Now then, it's time for the Metamagnet Divine Ray.
108
109The Metamagnet Divine Ray was different from the Solar Cosmic Ray. Although both were rays, the Solar Cosmic Ray was the colorful rays one could see in the sky of the North Barren, like the aurora.
110
111But the Metamagnet Divine Ray was more watery, like a stream of flowing water, but light.
112
113The Metamagnet Divine Ray Zhong Yue has in the copper lamp has gathered in a clump like a ball of light. In the middle, there were colorful lights shimmering randomly with waves of of light rippling away from the ball and back like a pool of water.
114
115The Metamagnet Divine Ray was incredibly heavy, even heavier than the Luminant Sun Gold!
116
117After he has been blessed with the experience of refining the Solar Cosmic Ray, it was much easier this time for him to retrieve the Metamagnet Divine Ray.
118
119In just less than a month, the Metamagnet Divine Saber was successfully forged!
120
121With a change of thought, the Metamagnet Divine Ray flowed out from his body and turned into a ten thousand feet long saber ray without actual body.
122
123It was flowing like waters, lights glimmered and rippled across the surface of the totem patterns that formed it.
124
125In stark contrast to the nearly unweighted Solar Divine Saber, the Metamagnet Divine Saber was incredibly heavy, concomitant with strong waves of gravitational pull.
126
127Among the twin saber, the Solar Divine Saber was stronger in striking on the mortal body and Yuan Shen, while the Metamagnet Divine Saber was better against the soul weapons and divine weapons!
128
129When the Metamagnet Divine Saber was swung, the strong force of attraction would pull the directed targets toward it while the hefty saber would be slashed down in full force, breaking the target into halves without any difficulties!
130
131Suddenly, the Metamagnet Divine Saber has disappeared in his body. Then, the two divine sabers reemerged behind him, shining brightly like two suns. And when the two sabers clashed together, they have formed into a ball of Yin Yang.
132
133Two rays of godly light flashed out from Zhong Yue's eyes and the Yin and Ying Qi were infused into the two divine sabers.
134
135After a long time, he brought the two divine sabers into the Dao Yi Reincarnation and soaked them inside of the Golden Origin Water, allowing them to absorb the invaluable liquid.
136
137Xin Huo was right, the Golden Origin Water was something he couldn't have worked on with his current prowess; he couldn't have carve his totem patterns on it nor infuse his psyches. However, with the Solar Divine Saber and Metamagnet Divine Saber as the vessels, the Golden Origin Water can be contained and forged into the sabers.
138
139After the Golden Origin Water has flowed into the sabers, the twin saber has quickly shrunk from a 10,000 feet long to only over 1,000 feet.
140
141"How heavy!", with the Golden Origin Water flowing into the sabers, Zhong Yue could feel the weights of the two sabers skyrocketing and was shocked.
142
143In just seconds, the two divine sabers were countless times heavier than before! Even the almost weightless Solar Divine Saber was now heavier than a few dozens of mountains!
144
145In less than two minutes, Zhong Yue had to pull the sabers out from the pool of water already; otherwise, they would turn too heavy for him to wield anymore!
146
147Not only that his psyche couldn't have move the sabers around in the air, he might not even be able to raise them even in addition to the strength of his mortal body. If that was really the case, what use does the sabers have anymore?
148
149Now, the two divine sabers were already hundred feet in length. He raised the sabers with one hand each, and it felt as though there were three hundred mountains that have weighted on his shoulders, he couldn't even walk around freely.
150
151"I wonder how strong would they be…", he strode out from the Dao Yi Realm to the Golden Summit. Suddenly, the mountain started quaking and the sky-high Swords Gate Mountain had sunk over a thousand feet into the ground!
152
153Meanwhile, the lands faraway cracked and the underground volcanoes erupted abruptly!
154
155The whole of Swords Gate plunged in turmoil. The elders, hall masters and disciples have swarmed out and met with a catastrophic view.
156
157Jun Sixie bolted up into the sky with the Great Boundless Divine Sword in her hands, she glanced around and sneered coldly, "Show yourself, evildoer!"
158
159Zhong Yue was stunned as he looked around, cold sweat burst out of his forehead and soaked his back as he thought, These two sabers, they are way too heavy…
160
161Chapter 575: Lightning Tribulation Dao Flower
162
163
164
165After the Solar Divine Saber and Metamagnet Divine Saber have absorbed the Golden Origin Water, they have turned so heavy that Swords Gate Mountain has sunk into the ground and erupted the underground volcanoes. Rifts deep into the underground cracked across the earth's surface and lavas were extruded out above the ground.
166
167The sudden outbreak of the catastrophe has alerted the whole Swords Gate, it was no surprise Jun Sixie had mistaken it as a hostile invasion.
168
169Quietly without making a single noise, Zhong Yue quickly kept the two sabers away into his Yuan Shen secret realms. He didn't dare to surge them back into his mortal body as the sabers' weights would still persist in sinking the mountain through his mortal body.
170
171The Yuan Shen secret realms were dimensions opened within the Yuan Shen, they weren't in the same dimensional space as the world. Thus, the sabers would not affect Swords Gate Mountain when kept in the Yuan Shen secret realms.
172
173As soon as he placed the twin sabers away, Swords Gate Mountain stopped sunking and the volcanoes eruptions have ceased. The burning lavas flowed for some time longer and eventually cooled away to form new mountain ridges across the Great Wilderness.
174
175In just a short while, Swords Gate Mountain has sunk 5,000 feet deep into the ground. The once glorious saint mountain now turned shorter and less grand in less than a day's time.
176
177Up from the headmaster down to the disciples, the whole of Swords Gate were crazed. The elders led the disciples and had cast the Four Symbol Banners out right away to seal the whole Swords Gate down. The Four Symbol Banners could reveal and also prevent the unknown enemies from hiding and escaping.
178
179Whereas Shui Zian carried little Xuan Yuan in his arms to the Golden Summit with the Xuan Yuan Divine Sword casually hovering beside the child.
180
181Fang Jiange stood still and was placid as usual. However, his hand that has quietly clenched on the divine sword, and his clothes that fluttered windlessly proved that he wasn't as unvigilant as he appeared to be.
182
183Jun Sixie turned her head and saw Zhong Yue walking out, her eyes were fixated on him and suddenly, she said in an inexplicable tone, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, I saw two bright rays flashing in your hands just now, where did they go? Quick, show them to me!"
184
185Cold sweat nearly burst out from his forehead, and he quickly laughed as he replied, "What bright rays? Senior martial sister, you must have seen wrongly. I was just holding on two sabers, I have just completed forging them."
186
187"Sabers you've forged?", Jun Sixie winked her eyes, she curled her lips and said while smiling, "Why don't you show them to me?"
188
189Zhong Yue's face abruptly turned sternly, "Just two pieces of junks, nothing out of the ordinary to look at. I have just finished them, they are really shabby still."
190
191Little did he know, his reactions made him even more dubious in her eyes. Jun Sixie sneered frigidly as she said, "Right at the moment you've kept the sabers away, everything then stopped. Show me the two sabers you have just forged, now!"
192
193"Haha, senior martial sister, I swear I am not the cause of all these. I have just forged the sabers, I still need to further refine them. See you later!", Zhong Yue bolted up to the sky and disappeared into the lightning zone.
194
195Jun Sixie tilted her head and mulled. Seconds later, she shook her head and didn't chase after him, she thought, This Disaster Zhong, he really just can't stay quiet and be obedient at all. It's not even three months he is back in Swords Gate, yet he made just another trouble … again…
196
197Zhong Yue flew into the lightning zone and was welcomed cordially by the lightning strikes. However, even though his Yuan Shen was still not cultivated into the Pure Yang state, his current cultivation base was still strong enough to withstand the lightning strikes, as long as they weren't the Pure Yang lightnings.
198
199The lightnings grew stronger as he flies higher. With a change of thought, the Solar Divine Saber flowed out in his hand as he waved. In a single swing, the lightnings were cleared a few feet away in his proximity!
200
201He was planning to refine his divine sabers with the lightnings!
202
203After all, the lightnings were the best whetstone to hone the weapons. They could reach thoroughly inside of the weapons and smite away the impurities in them. The weapons would turn purer and stronger, in the shortest time possible.
204
205Although such a way to hone the weapons were no secrets within the Qi Practitioners, only a handful could have execute it in the end. After all, not many of them were strong enough to enter the lightning zone and withstand the tribulations of the lightning strikes.
206
207Not to mention that the longer you stay in the lightning zone, the stronger the lightning strikes would grow!
208
209There weren't any Qi Practitioners that have yet to bath themselves in the lightning zone until the end of the lightning strikes.
210
211Thus, there was no records on whether if the tribulations of the lightning strikes would actually end at all.
212
213Some said that if one could pull through the Lightning Tribulation of the lightning Leizhe Dragon God, he would be rewarded greatly—that blooming flowers would fall from the sky to celebrate the birth of a new hero and bless him with great strength. However, it was only just a rumor that caused even more Qi Practitioners to die in the lightning strikes.
214
215Too slow, I should hone the two divine sabers together at the same time!
216
217With a change of thought, the Metamagnet Divine Saber has also surged out in his hand. But before he could do anything, the saber's incredible weight has pulled him down toward the ground!
218
219Like a meteor, Zhong Yue plummeted from the sky and crashed a huge pit on the ground, with cracks extending a few miles away from the pit!
220
221Zhong Yue kept the two divine sabers and flew into the lightning zone again, he thought, Two divine sabers are too heavy to wield at the same time, I can only wield one saber with my psyche now, two is beyond my limits…
222
223He returned in the lightning zone and focused only in honing one saber at a time. Suddenly, he thought of the rumor and asked curiously, "Xin Huo, is there an end to the lightning strikes? I heard that if one could endure to the end, he will be rewarded heavily? Is that true?"
224
225"Yes, it sure is.", Xin Huo leaped out from Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, flying around the young man as he answered while smiling, "Everything in the universe has an end to it, this is no exception. If you can withstand the Lightning Tribulations and endure to the end, you will be able to earn the recognitions from the heaven and earth. Naturally, once that happens, the Lightning Tribulations will stop and the lightning strikes ceases. In the ancient days, there were quite a number of Fuxi that has cultivated in the lightning zone, honing the mortal body and Yuan Shen with the Lightning Tribulations and gain achieve strengths beyond common reach."
226
227Zhong Yue was piqued in interest, he raised his head and looked up. He has been here for quite some moments already, and a loch of lightnings was starting to form above him now. They were flowing like waters, and were changing shapes from waters to trees to various aquatic creatures.
228
229Meanwhile, Xin Huo continued saying, "The lightning zone has 49 levels of Lightning Tribulations, they are all contained within this loch of lightnings which is a resemblance to the Lei Zhe. Enter the Lei Zhe, endure through the 49 levels of Lightning Tribulations, and be rewarded heavily with the flowers from heaven, the Lightning Tribulation Dao Flowers. These flowers contain profound knowledge in them, each being equivalent to 10 hard working years of cultivation! There are 49 levels of Lightning Tribulation in the lightning zone, that makes 49 Lightning Tribulation Dao Flowers, which translates into 490 years of cultivation base. In the past, the Fuxi Qi Practitioners would usually hone themselves with the Lightning Tribulations, and cultivate to their limits before they ascend into the deityhood."
230
231Zhong Yue was awed hearing Xin Huo. Right now, the lightning Leizhe Dragon God was slowly coming into shape in the lightning zone, the air around turned stagnant and was filled with a strong wave of aura.
232
233"Oh, there is a Lei Zhe lightning loch in the Pure Yang lightning zone as well. This one has 81 levels of Lightning Tribulations. Pulling through these 81 level of Lightning Tribulations will reward you with a Lightning Tribulation Dao Fruit. This fruit alone is enough to allow you to cultivate the Pure Yang Yuan Shen and Pure Yang mortal body, ascension into deityhood will be beyond guaranteed."
234
235Xin Huo laughed and said, "But the Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations are far too difficult even for the Fuxi Qi Practitioners. In the past inheritors I have taught, only a few had done it. However, the last Fuxi we've met, the little girl called Si Ming, her mortal body is in the Pure Yang state. That means she has most probably been through the eighty-one levels of Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations and had the Lightning Tribulation Dao Fruit. It is truly rare, hard to come by."
236
237Zhong Yue thought of the Fuxi lady and thought, She has been through the Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations and acquired the Lightning Tribulation Dao Fruit? Strange, our Fuxi Clan is near extinct and even our histories are wiped away. Without the heritages of the Heavenly Monarchs, how did she cultivate to such a stage?
238
239"Xin Huo, with my prowess now, can I pass through the Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations?"
240
241Xin Huo shooks his head and said, "Your Fuxi bloodline is not fully awakened, you didn't have cultivated the innate true spirit nor the Chaotic Origin True Spirit, you couldn't even pull through the first level of Pure Yang Lightning Tribulation. In the same cultivation level, Si Ming is at least seven times stronger than you!"
242
243"Seven times?", Zhong Yue was was overjoyed, he said while smiling, "You said that she was 10 times stronger before this, but the gap has now closed down to only seven times. Looks like I have improved greatly! But if you said I'm not strong enough for the Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations, I can still start with these 49 levels of Lightning Tribulations, and acquired the Lightning Tribulation Dao Flowers first!
244
245Meanwhile, Xin Huo mumbled softly, "It's also quite hard for you to do it, I reckoned that you will be able to do 40 at most. But well, it's not too bad to give it a try, at least you can strengthen your mortal body. After all, there is no harm in that, a good mortal body is also a requirement to copulate with the innate gods!"
246
247It was as if Zhong Yue's ears would automatically filter sentences like this from Xin Huo, he looked up and found the Lei Zhe lightning loch formed above. It was tremendously huge but couldn't have been seen under from the bottom in the Ancestral Star; as though it was hidden in another dimension that only those who was are going through the Lightning Tribulations could have seen.
248
249Meanwhile, the lightning Leizhe Dragon God was also coming into form, it was only seconds before it would be completed.
250
251"Brat Yue, the Leizhe Dragon God will launch its assault right after its fully formed, you should enter the Leize lightning loch before that!", Xin Huo promtped.
252
253Although Xin Huo would often speak nonsenses, certain statements he made were usually true. Zhong Yue strode into the Leize right before the lightning dragon god was fully formed.
254
255Just as he entered the Lei Zhe lightning loch, a surge of lightning had seeped into and numbed his mortal body, blood essence, Yuan Shen, psyche and everything else before settling down seconds later.
256
257When he was on the outside, the thunders rumbled in his ears and shuddered the clouds. But when he has stepped into the Leize lightning loch, the rumbling sounds of thunders were muted. It was a stark contrast between overbearing noises and dead silence.
258
259"The quieter it is, the more dangerous it would be.", Zhong Yue calmed himself and felt as though he was standing on solid ground instead of hovering in the sky.
260
261"If it's not going to make a move, then I'll see how strong the 49 level so Lightning Tribulations are myself!"
262
263Zhong Yue lowered his hand and the Solar Divine Saber disappeared all of a sudden, while the Metamagnet Divine Saber surged out from the Yuan Shen secret realms into his body.
264
265He stride forward, and as he moved, the Leize lightning loch started surging violently as well. The lightning waters burst high up and swallowed him away!
266
267Zhong Yue yelled a roar and pressed forward into the lightning waters. With a change of thought, the Metamagnet Divine Saber flowed out of his hand, and he cleaved it to the front.
268
269Bang--
270
271In one strike, the lightning waters were cleaved into halves!
272
273Suddenly, there were lightning leaves that bore through the surging waters and lunged at him!
274
275Meanwhile, a lightning tree branch swayed in the air and lashed like a whip across the sky!
276
277The lightning trees shone bright and the tree branches were galvanized into actions at the same time!
278
279Whereas the lightning beasts in the Lei Zhe lightning loch roared and pounced at him as well. Among them, there was a crocodile creature that stood upright with its legs and tail supporting it. Its eyes were bright and round like the suns, and lightning rays were blasted out from its wide-opened mouth.
280
281Chapter 576: One Level One Lightning Tribulation
282
283
284
285The Lightning Tribulation has finally burst out!
286
287The lightning leaves flashed past him and left shallow cut wounds on the sides of his face. Zhong Yue was shocked, it looked as though the whole Lei Zhe lightning loch has came to live, everything in it was striking at him!
288
289If he was to be caught in the middle of the strikes, he would be killed in just matters of seconds!
290
291Without hesitation, the Metamagnet Divine Saber in his hand was morphed into the shape of the Shaohao Bell. It covered him in the middle and stopped the attacks from reaching to him.
292
293The bell released a loud rang to defend him, but was crushed immediately by the incoming attacks. The countless lightnings broke the translucent bell and rained on his seamless mortal body, creating charred marks of wounds on him!
294
295Even his Yuan Shen was struck numbed!
296
297Zhong Yue raised his hand and the crushed Shaohao Bell was gathered back together as the Metamagnet Divine Saber. He clenched on the divine saber and swung it heavily to the front, severing the pair of claws from the crocodile creature that has lunged at him.
298
299Zhong Yue swung the saber again, and decapitated the crocodile creature. With the outburst of a series of thunder rumbles, lightnings were blasted out from the eyes of the decapitated crocodile dragon creature, and made two huge holes that bore through his mortal body!
300
301After that only did the crocodile creature dispersed away.
302
303"Brat Yue, are those really sabers you have forged?", Xin Huo asked curiously.
304
305The Metamagnet Divine Saber had just turned into the Shaohao Bell, helped him in blocking down the lightning strikes and earned him some precious time to grasp a strong stand in the precarious Lei Zhe lightning loch.
306
307Without that, Zhong Yue would have been struck hard and tipped off from his ground, it might even cost him his life. But with him gaining a firm stand now, he was able to fight back against the Lei Zhe lightning loch.
308
309"Of course they are sabers!", Zhong Yue suddenly cast the Metamagnet Divine Saber out around him, it flew around and parried the incoming attacks as well as crushing the lightnings around.
310
311Meanwhile, the Solar Divine Saber appeared in his hand, he clenched it with two hands and slashed forward. The lightning tide in front of him was cleaved at the middle and the lightning trees, lightning beasts were destroyed along the way as the saber ray extended deep into the Lei Zhe lightning loch!
312
313"Cast!", he yelled and the saber was enlarged into a thousand mile long. He swung it laterally and chopped down a huge piece of the lightning forest in front of him!
314
315Krong!
316
317Then, a lightning mountain abruptly appeared in the sky and crashed down onto him. The divine saber in his hand shrunk small while changing into the form of a shield as he braced himself.
318
319Bang—
320
321He muffled a deep groan and was pushed back by the overpowered impact force. Blood has trickled out from his mouth for the first time after he entered the Lei Zhe lightning loch.
322
323"Really sabers?", Xin Huo asked curiously again.
324
325The shield has shattered away, but the lightning mountain continued falling on him. Right at the moment he would be crushed by the mountain, the shattered shield has gathered together and formed half of the Tai Chi pattern. Whereas the Metamagnet Divine Saber has flashed over as well and formed the other half of the Tai Chi pattern. The lightning mountain fell into the Tai Chi pattern and was smited away!
326
327After the Tai Chi pattern was separated, it turned back into two sabers and cleaved a lightning pool into half!
328
329"They truly are sabers!", Zhong Yue shouted loudly. The divine eye opened on his forehead and killed a lightning beast lunging on him.
330
331"Alright, fine. Say anything you want then. Saber it is.", Xin Huo was speechless.
332
333Suddenly, lightning mountains appeared high above, and plummeted down on him while the two divine sabers were quickly turned into an altar. Zhong Yue stood on the altar and straightened his body. Figures of gods appeared around him and in that instant, his arcane energy, psyche and blood essence have burst out into the surrounding.
334
335Zhong Yue bowed, his hands curled together and drew a circle of Yin Yang. The [Celestial Demon Yi] was cast and cleaved one of the mountains.
336
337Then, the altar broke away into two divine sabers, breaking away one mountain each.
338
339Zhong Yue yelled, the Immortal Body was galvanized into action—another head and two arms grew out on his back. He clenched on the Solar Divine Saber in the front and the Metamagnet Divine Saber on the back, swirling like a hurricane as he kills everything that came near in his proximity.
340
341One man and two sabers, the lightning beasts and mountains were shattered away.
342
343Soon after, the beasts, mountains, grasses, trees and every other things have been cleared out in the Lei Zhe lightning loch. The only thing left was the lightning waters that streams around him, the lightning loch has suddenly calmed away.
344
345But this doesn't mean victory; instead, Zhong Yue's face turned even more solemn than before. Zhong Yue strained his nerves and held the sabers tight.
346
347If the attacks were to launch on him incessantly, all he have to do was to clear them out repetitively in a tedious yet harmless actions. But as the lightning loch has now turned serene, it meant that it was planning something incredible to welcome the uninvited guest.
348
349All of a sudden, the lightning waters raised high above, trapping him within four walls. The whole Lei Zhe lightning loch has abruptly turned into a huge burner. Countless lightnings sparked and formed the totem patterns on the walls.
350
351It was 30,000 feet in length and height, sitting in the middle of the Lei Zhe lightning loch with Zhong Yue in the center. Meanwhile, there were even more lightning waters that surged into the lightning burner to form the various totem patterns.
352
353Lighting mountains were formed outside and rammed into the burner, turning themselves into the totem patterns on the burner walls.
354
355In the middle of the lightning burner, the only thing visible were the bright purple rays of lightnings, Zhong Yue could not be seen anymore while thunders were rumbling unceasingly within the burner, low and deep.
356
357The lightning burner was formed from the nature, the power of the heaven and earth that tried to take down Zhong Yue!
358
359At that instant, Zhong Yue was struck beyond the limits of his mortal body. Although his Immortal Body was strong, it was nevertheless breakable; and the lightning burner's power was overpowering enough to kill him!
360
361Zhong Yue acted immediately without any hesitations. The Solar Divine Saber was turned into the Tai Chi Art beneath him while arms grew out from his body. Totem patterns surged out from his eight arms and cast the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] as he tried his best to ward down the incoming lightning strikes.
362
363The lightning strikes turned into the totem patterns and weaved together, it was strong and unescapable!
364
365But Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief as he managed to survive.
366
367"Cast!", the Metamagnet Divine Saber was lunged forward, it slashed on the lightning burner 15,000 feet away.
368
369The lightning burner shuddered, the saber ray bore through the wall. But when the saber returned to Zhong Yue, the crack on the lightning burner has recovered within a split second. There was no way he could leave!
370
371"Keep!", the Metamagnet Divine Saber was kept back in his Yuan Shen secret realms. He bolted up and headed to the top. But before he even reach to the middle, the lightning burner flared in rays and a barrage of lightnings rained from above.
372
373Zhong Yue quickly cast the Metamagnet Divine Saber out above him.
374
375Bang—
376
377Zhong Yue crashed to the bottom of the lightning burner and was pressed close to the floor along with the saber on top of his head.
378
379Zhong Yue spurted a mouthful of blood. This lightning burner was just like a prison, now that he was imprisoned, there was no chance he could leave other than tearing it down.
380
381He was holding himself together as hard as he could, his mortal body was atrophying and on the verge of disintegrating to ash within the next seconds. Thankfully, his Immortal Body was still able to recover the wounds and keep him alive.
382
383Suddenly, Zhong Yue felt a nearly imperceivable change within the lightning strikes—they were a slightly weaker now. He was puzzled at first but quick enough to realize that it wasn't the lightnings that turned weaker, it was him who have grown stronger.
384
385Every time he was struck by the lightning burner, a little surge of the impurities in him would be smited away. The totem patterns were broken and restructured better, stronger and more durable, even his Yuan Shen has improved greatly.
386
387The lightning strikes can make me stronger, isn't this exactly why I am here? To get rid of my weaknesses and make myself better? The Lightning Tribulation is a challenge, and also an opportunity to improve!
388
389He thought, The scale mirror can help in finding out my flaws and allow me to amend them. Although it seemed like I have forged myself into a perfect state, there are still flaws that exists deep within which could have never be seen. But the power of lightnings, the power of nature, heaven and earth can break things that seemed perfect but flawed, restructure them for better!
390
391The lightning burner marks the final of this Lightning Tribulation! It wields the might of the heaven and earth, the power that can shape the worst to the best!
392
393That moment onward, Zhong Yue has calmed himself and stopped fighting back at the lightning burner. He turned into defense and even tried to direct the lightning strikes into his mortal body, a small surge at a time. He was going to use the lightning strikes to push himself through the limits.
394
395"Cast!", he opened his mouth and the Nine Revolving Inner Core flew out. He was going to refine him inner core with the lightnings!
396
397"Golden Crow!", Zhong Yue yelled softly and he turned into the three-taloned Golden Crow and later the winged celestial being with three legs as he now refines his Golden Crow Yuan Shen.
398
399Soon after, he have seen great improvements on both his Yuan Shen and mortal body. Especially the Golden Crow Yuan Shen, it was another step closer in becoming the Golden Crow Chaotic Origin True Spirit.
400
401The Chaotic Origin True Spirit was one of the two extreme states of the True Spirit level, only one out of a million could have done it, the truly talented ones.
402
403Fang Jiange and Jun Sixie could have only done it because they were the innate spirit bodies and they have also cultivated in the best conditions, around the Celestial Water Star and Celestial Gold Star.
404
405Whereas now, Zhong Yue seized this golden opportunity and used the lightning burner to cultivate it!
406
407Tens of days flashed past in the blink of an eye, the lightning burner was as powerful as before, but the damage it could inflict on him was weaker. His Golden Crow was also on the verge of turning into the Chaotic Origin True Spirit.
408
409"Six-eyed Star Toad!", Zhong Yue yelled, he turned to the Star Toad Yuan Shen and refined it as well. In comparison, his Star Toad Yuan Shen was weaker than the Golden Crow Yuan Shen; thus, the lightning burner could have inflicted greater damage to it.
410
411But, he gritted and endured another twenty over days, finally cultivating his Star Toad Yuan Shen to be as strong as his Golden Crow Yuan Shen.
412
413On the other hand, the Solar Divine Saber and Metamagnet Divine Saber were also purer and stronger after a month's time bathing in the lightnings, even the lightning strikes now couldn't have shatter them anymore.
414
415"Hahaha, now even the lightning burner can no longer trouble me!", a series of loud laughters came within the lightning burner.
416
417Suddenly, Zhong Yue kept the sabers and stopped defending. He allowed the lightnings to freely enter and strike on his mortal body. He bathed himself in the lightning strikes so to strengthen his mortal body further.
418
419His muscles were disintegrating into ashes, his bloods vaporized into steams, and his nerves atrophied away; but at the same time of his mortal body being ravaged, it would always regrow stronger and better the next time.
420
421Two flashes of saber ray cleaved the lightning burner and shattered it away, revealing the Zhong Shan Clan young man whose mortal body was shrouded with lightnings.
422
423He strode forward while the fragments of the lightning burner scattered in all domains.
424
425Then, from the scattered lightnings of the lightning burner and within the Lei Zhe lightning loch, came a surge of overbearing aura that stagnanted the air.
426
427Right after, huge scales filled his eyes as a Leizhe dragon god emerged around him!
428
429Zhong Yue raised his sabers and pointed them at the Leizhe dragon god, he said, "Xin Huo, will I be able counted as finishing the 49 levels of Lightning Tribulations after I kill this Leizhe dragon god?"
430
431Xin Huo was surprised, he raised his brows and said puzzlingly, "What? Do you think this is all? One level one Lightning Tribulation, you are just in the first level now, and you have not even finish this first Lightning Tribulation yet!"
432
433Chapter 577: Soaring Dragon In The Clouds
434
435
436
437Zhong Yue nearly spat out a mouth of blood in shock, he exclaimed, "What? This is just the first level of Lightning Tribulation?"
438
439Before he could even recollect his thoughts, the Leizhe dragon god has already galvanized into actions. The dragon's claws along with its body was over a thousand feet long, it was like a moving mountain ridge purely formed by the lightning totem patterns.
440
441Thunder rumbled as it moved, it slashed a claw down at Zhong Yue with great power!
442
443The dragon claw has five fingers, although formed by the lightning totem patterns, they were imbued with the power of the five elements, each finger resembled one of the five elements as it slammed down!
444
445Zhong Yue yelled, he changed into the Fuxi True Form and slithered from the dragon claw a fine line away from impact!
446
447Unexpectedly, Zhong Yue did not wield the two sabers, and have decided to focus on one only. He clenched on the heavy Metamagnet Divine Saber while moving along the dragon's huge body, waving the saber up and down incessantly at it.
448
449Shua, shua, shua, shua, shua—
450
451Saber rays rained on the Leizhe dragon god from its head to tail!
452
453However, despite the divine saber's incredible weight and sharpness, it dealt little to none damages on the Leizhe dragon god. It couldn't even penetrate through its scales and left only faint marks on it.
454
455The dragon scales were filled with marvelus totem patterns, unlike anything he have seen before, they were stronger and more profound. When the Metamagnet Divine Saber slashed on the scales, the lightning totem patterns would burst out into lightning flowers that blocked and unloaded the saber strike before it reaches to the scales.
456
457"Of course!", Xin Huo answered insouciantly, "This lightning Leizhe dragon god is the end of the first level of Lightning Tribulation, kill it and you can proceed to the Lei Zhe lightning loch of the second level Lightning Tribulation. One after another, you will eventually reach to the 49th Lei Zhe lightning loch; after that, only will you be considered as passing through all the Lightning Tribulations. The Lei Zhe lightning loch constitutes the heaven and earth, while the Leizhe dragon god is the manifestation of the will of nature. Defeat it, succeed in the first level Lightning Tribulation, and you have the recognition of the heaven and earth!"
458
459"The Leizhe dragon god is the will of the heaven and earth?", Zhong Yue inhaled deeply.
460
461Meanwhile, the Leizhe dragon god had swung its tail in a full circle and coiled its body together. Its head rose high above and turned around, blasting out endless lightning rays from its mouth down on Zhong Yue!
462
463In the lightnings, Zhong Yue muffled a deep groan, his body was charred like a human size charcoal, and was lashed away by the dragon's tail!
464
465This is just the first level and its so strong already! And Xin Huo still said I can manage 40 levels, looks like he has overestimate my strength! The first level alone has almost… wait a second!
466
467Zhong Yue had tumbled in mid-air for some distance before coming to a stop. He quickly bowed and cast the [Worshipping of Gods]. The Solar Divine Saber has turned into an altar and lifted him up while the gods emerged around the altar, bowing toward Zhong Yue. Right away, his prowess was raised a level higher and he surged it all into the Metamagnet Divine Saber.
468
469Energy forces rippled in and out of the divine saber in great force, the divine saber grew stronger and heavier, that even the gravitational force around was distorted.
470
471Zhong Yue yelled and the slashed the saber toward the incoming dragon.
472
473Xin Huo must have knew I would strengthen myself within the lightning burner, he knows that my prowess will steadily increase in the Lightning Tribulations. That's why he said I can manage 40 levels of Lightning Tribulations! If he said I can, then it means that I will surely be able to kill the first level's Leizhe dragon god!
474
475Krong—
476
477The Leizhe dragon god raised its claw against the saber, while Zhong Yue surged all of his power into the weapon. His muscles were even teared open with blood sprinkling to the surroundings.
478
479Zheng—
480
481Surprisingly enough, the Metamagnet Divine Saber has shattered the dragon claw!
482
483But before Zhong Yue could be happy about it, two bright lightning rays were shot out from the dragon's eyes and bore through his mortal body. The impact force sent him flying backward, but he dashed forward again as soon as he landed!
484
485Meanwhile, Xin Huo was still talking, "Do you know where does the Leizhe Clan of the eight sovereign races originate from? The first Leizhe dragon was exactly an innate god that was born from the heaven and earth; nurtured by the worshippings of livings, imbued with the wills of the heaven and earth, and comes within the lightning storms! His arrival in this world was concomitant with the birth of a galaxy, one that brims with the strongest lightnings in this universe. He stands on his own and is one of a kind. Other than him, all the other Leizhe dragon gods are either his descendants, or innate gods from the Lei Zhe Galaxy! If conditions allow, you should visit the Lei Zhe Galaxy at least once. It is a truly wonderful place to visit, its power is beyond what words can describe, you can only feel it for yourself. As long as there are livings still worshipping on the lightnings and thunders, the Lei Zhe Galaxy will grow bigger and stronger unceasingly. It's even more exciting to have the Lightning Tribulations there!"
486
487Just as Xin Huo spoke, Zhong Yue had clashed over a hundred times with the Leizhe dragon god already.
488
489The Leizhe dragon god was strong but still couldn't have avoided injuries, after all, it was Zhong Yue that it's fighting with!
490
491Suddenly, Zhong Yue yelled loudly and his mortal body enlarged to over 10,000 feet tall. But with the sudden increase in size, the many wounds on his mortal body were amplified as well!
492
493He has utilized the power of heaven and earth, it was the Heavenly Dharma level's state of extremity!
494
495Within the Lei Zhe lightning loch, thunders rumbled even louder, and the lightnings were absorbed into his mortal body and Yuan Shen. This time, he has actively siphoned the lightning energy around to boost his strength.
496
497His turned his mortal body to 30,000 feet tall along with the Metamagnet Divine Saber. He raised his hand and brought the 30,000 long Metamagnet Divine Saber down in a slashing motion, cleaving through the dragon scales into its body.
498
499The dragon god opened its mouth, blasting out lightning fires, and sent Zhong Yue high up into the sky. Then, the lightning dragon clenched its claw and struck at him!
500
501His mortal body bent like a fully drawn bow with lightning rays piercing out from the back of his body!
502
503Zhong Yue's Heavenly Dharma state of extremity was broken away and he shrunk back into his usual size. Meanwhile, the dragon god raised its claw and poked toward his forehead, a killing blow!
504
505Zhong Yue quickly opened his mouth, and he cast out the Nine Revolving Inner Core. The Tai Chi Force Field was opened and trapped the dragon god in it.
506
507Roar—
508
509But the inner core force field was placed on the verge of shattering apart in just a loud roar from the lightning dragon god,.
510
511Zhong Yue dashed forward, he cast the Metamagnet Divine Saber and the Solar Divine Saber out. Together, the two divine sabers lunged forward like two dragons, while moving like a shear.
512
513The shear dragons have reached to the dragon god's neck when it broke free from the inner core force field!
514
515"Die!", arms grew out from Zhong Yue's body and he clenched on the sabers, forcing out all of his strength into the shear dragons!
516
517Suddenly, thunders rumbled within the dragon god's mouth. Zhong Yue's skins cracked and the seven apertures of his head were trickling out blood. If it wasn't that Zhong Yue had trained for a month's time in the lightning burner, this alone could have killed him!
518
519Muscles were falling off from his body especially his palms, they were only left with the bones.
520
521The top of his head was cracked open, exposing his skull in barely in the air. There were also sounds of cracking coming from his body as the totem patterns on his bones were shattered.
522
523The roarings continued, and his bones were on the verge of fracturing!
524
525"DIE!", Zhong Yue shouted loudly, the twin sabers have finally decapitated the dragon god. Its huge head fell down and disappeared in the lightning loch.
526
527"Did I win?", Zhong Yue was overjoyed, his arms atrophied into ashes and he fell into the lightning loch after the dragon head. He didn't even have the strength to grip on the two divine sabers anymore, the sabers were separated in mid-air and crashed some distance away from him.
528
529Zhong Yue bathed inside the lightning loch, he allowed the lightnings to penetrate into his mortal body, scorching his muscles and nerves.
530
531Zhong Yue lied in the lightning loch and thought, Shame, I didn't defeat it on my own… Feng Xiaozhong… it's your skill that has truly defeated the Leizhe dragon god, it's you that won this Lightning Tribulation, not me…
532
533"Brat Yue, you smell good.", Xin Huo leaped out, wiping slobber from his mouth as he looked at Zhong Yue's cooked body, "What a shame I am without a mortal body, I cannot eat and taste anything. How about… you let me control of your mortal body for a while and let me taste your cooked meats?"
534
535Zhong Yue muttered something inaudible as a sign of protest while speeding up recovering his injuries.
536
537Soon after, his mortal body was fully healed. He consumed a few pieces of divine herbs to recover his lost prowess and refine his inner core.
538
539"Cast!"
540
541After that, Zhong Yue cast out the two divine sabers and repair them.
542
543"Hmm? The sabers, they feel so much lighter…", Zhong Yue clenched on the two sabers and swung them freely through the air.
544
545Before, although he could have cast the two sabers, he still struggled to wield both of them in his hands. But now, not only that he could wield the two divine sabers in his hands, they were far too light to wield!
546
547"Are the Golden Origin Water in them frittered away during the battle?", Zhong Yue mumbled curiously.
548
549"No, it's you who became stronger!", Xin Huo laughed as he said, "In the Earth Order Era, the Lightning Tribulations are a means for the Fuxi cultivators to train themselves. Every level of the Lightning Tribulation means a huge improvement. Do you know why?"
550
551Zhong Yue shook his head.
552
553Xin Huo laughed, "This is because the Fuxi Celestial Race has the blood of Leizhe in them. You Fuxi are naturally gifted with the lightning elements in your body. The Lightning Tribulations are much like a path to death for the other races, but they are in fact, golden opportunities to awaken the Leizhe blood in them!
554
555"You have made past the first level of Lightning Tribulation, a little part of the Leizhe blood in your Fuxi bloodline is awakened, leading to the increase in prowess and advancement in your mortal body. Of course the sabers would appear light to you now."
556
557"I see.", Zhong Yue was dawned. He took out the copper lamp, entered the mini Six Paths Reincarnations in it, and soaked the divine sabers in the Golden Origin Water again.
558
559Meanwhile, Xin Huo was looking curiously at the sabers, he asked again, "Brat Yue, these two soul weapons you have forged, are they really sabers?"
560
561"Without doubts!", Zhong Yue assured.
562
563Xin Huo scratched his head frantically and said, "Then why can the sabers turn into the Shaohao Bell, into the altars, into the [Tai Chi Art], even the [Dragon Shears]?"
564
565"Because of the word 'Yi'.", Zhong Yue laughed loudly. He pulled the two divine sabers away and walked out of the Six Paths Reincarnations into the Lei Zhe lightning loch. He raised his head up and saw another Lei Zhe lightning loch forming above him, while the one he was in started to disperse.
566
567"Yi, Fuxi, changes. This is what Fuxi Haoyi has taught me. It's the same concept that can be applied to the soul weapons."
568
569He strode into the second Lei Zhe lightning loch while saying casually, "There appears a dragon in the field, it leaps into the abyss when necessary and soars into the sky when given the opportune, but it is only the heaven that can contain it. The humans are no different than the dragons, we can change accordingly, and so are the sabers. This is, my attainments in the 'Yi' word."
570
571Chapter 578: Chaotic Origin—Investiture of Gods
572
573
574
575Forty-nine levels of Lightning Tribulations, each one was stronger than one other before.
576
577The second level of the Lightning Tribulation in the second Lei Zhe lightning loch.
578
579Zhong Yue descended into this void and he immediately plunged into the Lightning Tribulation. This level of Lei Zhe was about the same with the previous one but it's Lightning Tribulation was much stronger, which pressured him even more. Besides, there were even more strange lightning creatures and lighting mountains. In just a moment of time, injuries crawled all over his body and after uncountable difficult attempts, he finally went through this level of Lei Zhe lightning loch, but was suppressed in the lightning burner.
580
581He couldn't be bothered to treat his wounds as he quickly controlled his two divine sabers, turning one of them into an altar and another into the [Tai Chi Art], which he used to guard himself.
582
583The ferocious and relentless power surged towards him, dealing so much pressure to him that the bones in his body started to creak and they almost disintegrated his body, nearly caused him to fail.
584
585In the Lei Zhe lightning loch, the lighting trees, lighting lakes, lighting mountains and other lighting objects were all totem carvings; the more types of objects appeared, the more types of the totem carvings.
586
587And these totem carvings would in the end, get branded onto the burner, which would amplify its power!
588
589After another half a month, Zhong Yue finally breached himself out from the burner and just when he got out, he was once again faced with the Leizhe dragon god guarding the second level Lightning Tribulation, thus, another tough and ferocious battle!
590
591Finally, after bathing himself with his own blood, he finally killed the Leizhe dragon god, dispersed it into lighting. He then treated his own wounds and stabbed his saber into the Golden Origin Water.
592
593The third level Lightning Tribulation was much stronger than the second but Zhong Yue used merely twelve days to breach himself out of the lighting burner and kill the Leizhe dragon god.
594
595And he used an even shorter time in the fourth level Lightning Tribulation ; he used only less than ten days and entered the fifth level.
596
597The reason why he used less and less time was because he refined himself through the Lightning Tribulation; the more he refined himself, the stronger he became.
598
599And with the lighting burner that helped him refine his Yuan Shen, mortal body, psyche, skills, and soul weapons, his flaws were wiped out bit by bit and each time as he refined himself, the less impurity that got flushed out, thus, the less time he spent on each level.
600
601Once he entered level ten, he suddenly felt a tremendous quake in his True Spirit; he felt that it turned into a spirit that could see and hear everything above the skies and beneath the ground.
602
603This feeling was very unique and amazing; he felt the prayers of all beings. Spirit that was born within the heaven and earth; it could sense those that worshipped it, hear their prayers, their wishes and their needs.
604
605For example, if right in front of his statue was a person that begged for rain after a few months of draught, Zhong Yue would immediately sensed the prayer and through the statue of himself, he could control the power of worshippings around that statue and made rainfall!
606
607Or somewhere far away, another person that begged for rainfall to stop after the rain flooded everywhere, Zhong Yue could immediately use the power of worshippings in that area to stop the rain.
608
609With all their wishes fulfilled, Zhong Yue would receive even more worshippers, and the power of worshippings would started coming in non-stop.
610
611And his True Spirit could actually bath itself in the worshippers' prayers, manipulate the power of worshippings and enhance inself!
612
613This was the investiture of gods!
614
615The Chaotic Origin True Spirit was also known as the Investiture Yin God Spirit. Upon entering this level, the Yuan Shen could be said as the Yin God already. It was truly stunning.
616
617Chaotic Origin True Spirit…
618
619Zhong Yue got out from the burner, walked towards the Leizhe dragon god guarding the Lightning Tribulation as he whispered to himself, So this is it. No wonder both Senior Martial Sister Jun and Senior Martial Brother Fang leveled in their respective Celestial Stars and cultivated the Chaotic Origin True Spirit. God knows how much power was entangled to the Celestial Stars that matched their innate spirit body. Other than the likes of them, it would be extremely difficult for the others to cultivate the Chaotic Origin True Spirit.
620
621He was not one of those innate spirit body; although he was close to become one, he was still not one. He only managed to breach through his limit this time because of the state of extremities he achieved long before and the potential he drew out from himself through a series of life and death situations.
622
623However, if he became a Sun Innate Spirit Body, he would also be able to reach the sun and increase his power to a further extent through the mighty power of the sun's power of worshippings.
624
625Achieving the True Spirit level's state of extremity—Chaotic Origin True Spirit, means achieving the Yuan Shen Yin God, entering the level where the excessive Yin starts to get converted into Yang, which was also a major turning point, a crucial point where the Yin God started to turn into the Pure Yang Yuan Shen!
626
627Only by reaching this point will one be able to identify his path, to know how to cultivate the Yuan Shen into the Pure Yang state, thus, knowing how to ascend into a god!
628
629One could say that the Chaotic Origin True Spirit was the most important change in the life of a Qi Practitioner!
630
631No wonder there was only a god in our Swords Gate….
632
633Zhong Yue had a sad face; the first headmaster passed away too early, if he had the chance to tell the later generations about this extreme state, then there would be at least one of the previous headmasters could have been a human god.
634
635But in this generation, there would be more than one human god with that many talented Qi Practitioners!
636
637As he thought of these, he went head on with the Leizhe dragon god; as the sabers swung across, the dragon god disintegrated and Zhong Yue sheathed his sabers behind his back as he walked towards the 11th Lei Zhe lightning loch.
638
639After cultivating the Chaotic Origin True Spirit and through using the power of worshippings, Zhong Yue's speed increased by another level; he pummeled through a few levels in just a day and entered straight into the 28th Lei Zhe lightning loch; only then his speed started to decreased.
640
641Time flashed past in the blink of an eye.
642
643...
644
645Meanwhile in the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple in the West Barren, the spirit of the Xiao Mang grand ancestor and Feng Wuji had already been in the supreme temple for half a year. The grand ancestor kept modifying Feng Wuji's body, refined his bloodline and fully unleashed the power of the Xiao Mang bloodline within Feng Wuji!
646
647The grand ancestor took out various herbs and precious items produced by the world, had Feng Wuji consumed them and helped Feng Wuji to refine them, removing the impurities in him and reforged his totem carvings.
648
649This Deity Overlord level godly spirit spent half a year, and a great deal of precious treasures to refine and reforge Feng Wuj. Just imagine the benefits and powers that were bestowed upon Feng Wuji!
650
651In this period of time, not only did his body turned incredibly strong, his Yuan Shen secret realms have expanded by a few times, and his Yuan Shen was also enhanced to a great extent!
652
653His cultivation base became extremely solid and those flaws within his base were all wiped out by the Xiao Mang grand ancestor.
654
655He even felt that his own strength was unreasonably strong to an extent that he was on par with the gods!
656
657However, all of these were not for Feng Wuji but for the grand ancestor.
658
659The purer Feng Wuji's bloodline was, the stronger the bloodline power and the easier for the grand ancestor to possess Feng Wuji's body. The same was applied to Feng Wuji's mortal body; the stronger the base of Feng Wuji's body, the easier for the grand ancestor to cultivate and to achieve an even higher level!
660
661And if he managed to advance into the Deity Emperor level, his spirit would grow stronger and it could exist longer in this world!
662
663Besides, Feng Wuji was an Earth Innate Spirit Body with great talent, his Innate True Spirit was already on the edge of awakening after this half year of effort!
664
665If the Innate True Spirit was awakened, then it would become a godly spirit, which meant that once Feng Wuji advanced his Yuan Shen into the Pure Yang State, he would possess combat power on par with the gods!
666
667"Wuji, today is the day I possess your body and the day I reborn."
668
669Xiao Mang grand ancestor exposed his three heads, stared at Feng Wuji with his huge eyes and said with three thunderous voices that stacked together, "Any last words?"
670
671He had a fiery gaze, his eyes felt like six huge fireballs and when he stared at Feng Wuji, each and every details of the young man's face failed to escape from the grand ancestor's attention.
672
673Obviously, he was still worried and suspected Feng Wuji's willingness to let himself to be possessed.
674
675Feng Wuji hesitated and said softly, "I still haven't have any children…."
676
677Immediately, the grand ancestor let his guard down and he said, "Hoho, you worried too much. Once I possess your body, this body is still yours, when I impregnate a lady, the child will still be yours. Don't worry, I promise you that you will have many children in the future!"
678
679Feng Wuji put up a happy expression and he said as he knelt, "Then it is my honour, Wuji greatly appreciate it!"
680
681"Do not kneel!"
682
683The grand ancestor shouted, "From now on, your body is mine, how could you kneel with my body?"
684
685Feng Wuji immediately got up and when the giant head of the grand ancestor's spirit turned, he suddenly charged straight into Feng Wuji's forehead and he yelled, "Wuji, do not resist, but there would be nothing much you could do even if you resist."
686
687Meanwhile, Feng Wuji remained frozen and when grand ancestor's huge body got close to Feng Wuji's forehead, his body shrunk as he continued squeezing into Feng Wuji's forehead.
688
689When the spirit of Xiao Mang grand ancestor fully squeezed into Feng WUji, a three headed Pan Ao appeared in Feng Wuji's psyche ocean and gazed at Feng Wuji's Yuan Shen. He said with thunderous voice, "You are mine now!"
690
691However, a figure charged into the supreme temple, flicked his finger and sent a golden decree written with marvelous runes towards Feng Wuji's forehead. The golden decree burnt as it traveled into the air and in lighting speed, it entered Feng Wuji's psyche ocean!
692
693"Hahahahah!"
694
695Feng Wuji who was acting humble just now laughed happily to the point where he teared!
696
697"No, you are mine!"
698
699The golden decree burnt up completely in his psyche ocean; golden liquid flowed into his Yuan Shen and countless runes exploded, stuck onto the psyche ocean and sealed the entire psyche ocean!
700
701The grand ancestor's expression changed immediately and when he looked at the runes which looked incredibly complicated even with his knowledge, he felt that his spirit was being scorched and disintegrated into pure energy that surged towards Feng Wuji!
702
703"Wuji, you…."
704
705"Grand ancestor? You are just an old dog!"
706
707Feng Wuji's Yuan Shen looked down at him as madness rose in Feng Wuji's eyes, he said, "You want me to offer my body to you? Dream on, old dog! Xiao Mang, I have knelt upon you so many times with fear, despair and desperation! If you kneel down right now, I might be generous and let you go this time!"
708
709The grand ancestor's face changed again and he suddenly knelt down, he said humbly, "Wuji ancestor, I now kneel before you."
710
711Feng Wuji laughed arrogantly and suddenly, he turned incredibly gentle, "I was just kidding, grand ancestor, quickly get back on your feet. Do you really think I will let you go?"
712
713Chapter 579: Trampling The 49 Levels of Lightning Tribulation
714
715
716
717All of a sudden, the obedient Xiao Mang grand ancestor opened his mouths and deluged Feng Wuji with a great deal of powerful skills!
718
719He was a Deity Overlord, even when there was the strange golden decree sucking away his cultivation base, he was still powerful enough. Furthermore, it would take at least a year for the golden decree to ground him powerless!
720
721Thus, he was now still strong enough to kill Feng Wuji with his current prowess. And after that, he would slowly deal with the golden decree.
722
723However, the golden decree that covered all over Feng Wuji has stopped the skills from hurting him, not even a single impression was left!
724
725Feng Wuji was shocked as well when the skills were suddenly hurled at him, but turned overjoyed in the next second when he saw himself unharmed even in the skills of the Deity Overlord.
726
727Xiao Mang grand ancestor roared and dashed forward, opening his mouths wide and gnawed down at Feng Wuji!
728
729Ding—
730
731A crisp clanking noise of metals resounded in their ears. What could have been a sure-kill blow turned out to be a joke—Xiao Mang grand ancestor's teeths were broken away, but Feng Wuji had not even lost a hair!
732
733Xiao Mang grand ancestor let out a loud whistle, he turned into a three-headed celestial being, and rained a series of skills, punches and kicks.
734
735A series of clunking noise resonated together, but Feng Wuji remained unscathed. He guffawed in a supercilious manner, "Strong, how strong! Tu Yu's decree is far beyond the reach of those in the Ancestral Star! It's all worth the kowtows and pleads I have made to him!"
736
737Suddenly, Xiao Mang grand ancestor gave up on him and turned to the edge of his psyche ocean, launching his attacks frantically at the golden barrier. The barrier rippled like a pool of water as Xiao Mang grand ancestor's attacks rained on it, but regardless of how powerful and quick the skills were launched at it, the golden barrier remained indestructible.
738
739Xiao Mang grand ancestor's face was dark like the gloomy clouds, he inhaled deeply and suddenly turned his heads around. His voice changed soft and tender as he said gently, "Wuji, I know my mistake now. But you are after all, my beloved descendant, my blood flows within your body. Now that I have admitted my wrongdoings, you don't have to pursue any further anymore, do you? Quick, let me out, I promise you I will let this all slide away. We will still be as close as before."
740
741Feng Wuji nodded, he answered placidly, "Grand ancestor, your demonic voices are good, but they are useless to me. You won't ever understand how strong it is the one who bestowed me with this golden decree, you are nothing to be compared with him."
742
743Xiao Mang grand ancestor's voice turned colder than ice, "Even if you had siphoned all of my prowess, you still won't be able to ascend into deityhood! There are no shortcuts to deityhood, more so through sucking the prowess of another god!"
744
745Feng Wuji smiled, "Thank you for telling me that. But be assured, you know you can always trust my intelligence. I'm sure I can find a way to advance into deityhood. In fact, I have never thought of using you to ascend into deityhood. I have only taken you as a divine herb with invigorating effects. After acquiring your prowess, I will still cultivate and attain the Pure Yang Yuan Shen on my own."
746
747Xiao Mang grand ancestor's face turned darker than black, he ignored Feng Wuji and sat down quietly before the golden barrier, trying to attain the totem patterns in the golden barrier and find a way out.
748
749He was also an intelligent cultivator, else he wouldn't have been able to rise above the mediocrity and cultivate into the level of Deity Overlord.
750
751The golden barrier was formed by many runes, and the runes were written with the totem patterns. If he could attain and understand them, he would be able to find some ways to break through the barrier and escape!
752
753Feng Wuji stood steadfast, glancing a pair of scornful eyes and let him be.
754
755An existence that sits on the same table with the Realm Monarchs, and is also one who communes with the heaven without even going through the Heavenly Monarch, do you really think you can attain the decree he has written?
756
757...
758
759Lei Zhe lightning loch, level 40.
760
761Zhong Yue supported himself up with the sabers, and a rib bone had protruded out from his underarm; while in front of him, the Leizhe dragon god was also filled with wounds all over its body.
762
763The vicious battle has came to a point where both of them were just barely holding, Zhong Yue was already on the verge of collapsing, and the Leizhe dragon god was also nearly dispersed!
764
765Xin Huo said that I can only reach to the 40th level, but I want to prove him wrong!, Zhong Yue struggled to move his fingers, his hands were shaking as he raised the two sabers up.
766
767The divine sabers abruptly turned into two bright rays and combined together into one as it was slashed down toward the Leizhe dragon god's head!
768
769The lightning dragon released a series of resonant roars, and deluged Zhong Yue with lightning skills from its mouth.
770
771Zhong Yue saw it coming, but he had no spare energy to evade the incoming skills. The lightnings charred his muscles, tearing them off from his body, and vaporized his blood away!
772
773Ka-cha—
774
775The lightning dragon expended its last moments and swung its claw over Zhong Yue's mortal body, separating the lower half of his body away from the rest!
776
777Meanwhile, the saber ray cleaved through the lightning skills, and it decapitated the Leizhe dragon god!
778
779Zi-la—
780
781The Leizhe dragon god collapsed back into the lightning rays and dispersed in all domains. Zhong Yue fell to the floor, he only has the upper half of his body, most of which were even only left with the bones.
782
783Then, the torn muscles, broken internal organs and fractured bones scattered around the Lei Zhe lightning loch flowed back into his body. As he was in the Fuxi True Form, the lower half of his body was a serpent, it slithered its way and rejoined with his other half.
784
785Bloods flowed like water streams into his broken heart, and the heart's blood veins walked it back to Zhong Yue's chest.
786
787Zhong Yue's mortal body was recovering, slowly yet steadily. He was coughing blood, although he was nearly killed, he still laughed loudly, "Xin Huo, I did it… Cough, cough, cough, I did it! I killed the Leizhe dragon god on my own, I didn't use Feng Xiaozhong's skills!"
788
789He gasped for air as his lungs were punctured, he was practically breathing out blood mists while he was laughing, "And I killed the Leizhe dragon god of the 40th level Lightning Tribulation!"
790
791Xin Huo came out from Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, he looked at Zhong Yue's ramshackled mortal body and shook his head, "You sure did, but this is the furthest you can go. The next Lightning Tribulation will kill you, I'm sure of it."
792
793"Maybe not."
794
795A familiar voice suddenly interrupted them as they converse, Xin Huo quickly looked over and was stunned. A young man with horns, and a long saber on his back has strode into the dispersing Lei Zhe.
796
797"We were not here before this, but we are now. I'm sure I can defeat all 49 levels of Lightning Tribulation."
798
799Then, another young man said as he walked over. He appeared to have manned himself like a noble; he was shrouded with demonic Qi and held a leaf-like sword in his hand.
800
801"Long Yue… Bo Xun…", Xin Huo was bewildered.
802
803Long Yue and Bo Xun walked to the sides of Zhong Yue, the two True Spirit magnates abruptly surged their prowess into Zhong Yue's body.
804
805Their Yuan Shen and inner core flew out in mid-air and disappeared away into Zhong Yue's mortal body; so were their mortal bodies.
806
807In just seconds, Zhong Yue sat up in high spirits; the auric field around him grew even stronger. He took out the copper lamp and refined the divine sabers with the Golden Origin Water again.
808
809Zhong Yue smiled, he asked, "Xin Huo, do you think I can make it through all 49 levels and acquire the Dao Flowers?"
810
811The little flame sighed, he mumbled, "I've forgotten you still have two incarnations… But your prowess now is far stronger than your incarnations, they are at most just 10% each of your main body's prowess. Even with the two incarnations' powers now coming back to you, you are only 20% stronger. It is still hard to say if you can do it. The last few Lightning Tribulations are really strong, even a 20% increase in prowess doesn't guarantee your success!"
812
813As they spoke, the 41st level has formed; Zhong Yue strode into it and blunt sounds of the battle resounded together to form a cacophonous symphony.
814
815Half a day later, he made it to the 42nd Lei Zhe.
816
817Another three days, he was already in the 43rd!
818
819…
820
821Two months later, Zhong Yue was soaked in a pool of his own blood; while the Leizhe dragon god in front of him has dispersed into the lightning rays. The battle took him everything he got, and he suffered immense injuries unlike anything before.
822
823Death was just a fine line away from him, yet he survived once again.
824
825But he was left severely wounded, any child with a knife could have easily killed him now!
826
827His Yuan Shen was gravely wounded and was paralyzed, his psyche and arcane energy were completely exhausted, and his mortal body was asundered into parts and pieces with the bones fractured into tiny bits.
828
829Although he made it through all 49 levels of Lightning Tribulations, he was now lying on the border between life and death!
830
831His thoughts grew tardy as his consciousness was slowly dispersing. The battle had squeezed out every single energy left within him. Xin Huo did dissuade Zhong Yue to step back, but stopped when he saw the unyielding determination burning in Zhong Yue's eyes.
832
833Now, even though Zhong Yue won the battle, he was left without any energy to heal himself; he could only lie helplessly and watch as he slowly dies off.
834
835Xin Huo was walking around Zhong Yue in a back and forth motion, shifting his focus between Zhong Yue and the sky while mumbling, "It should be here now, it should be… Come faster, otherwise, he will die for sure!"
836
837All of a sudden, there were faint chants that reverberated the sky, they sounded to have come from the heavens; while there were flowers that appeared in the middle of nowhere and fluttered down from the sky. Xin Huo was overjoyed, he heaved a breath of relief and laughed, "Now you won't die, with the Dao Flowers helping you, you will live for sure!"
838
839Zhong Yue's eyes were lost of focus, and slowly dimmed away. Then, a Dao Flower landed on his forehead, it melted and disappeared into his head.
840
841Like a draught met with a rainstorm, the cracks on his Yuan Shen were filled and recovered, and his depleted psyche ocean was also brimmed with pure psyches.
842
843Another Dao Flower landed on his chest, and the fractured bones were reconnected together again; the bloods, internal organs, veins, and nerves were all grown back in place. His heart also started throbbing rhythmically like a powerful war drum.
844
845The third Dao Flower recovered his lost arcane energy to the peak, and reformed the destroyed totem patterns.
846
847Then, from the forth Dao Flower onwards, his arcane energy, Yuan Shen and mortal body were all greatly enhanced!
848
849The Dao Flowers fluttered down one after another while the heavenly chants baptised his body and soul from the impurities.
850
851One Dao Flower meant ten years of cultivation base, 49 Dao Flowers totaled up to 490 years of hard cultivation!
852
853His cultivation base was skyrocketing, reaching to the peak of the True Spirit level in just seconds; the next step would advance him into the Imminent Deity level!
854
855All of a sudden, Zhong Yue diverted the incredible energy of the Dao Flowers into his Yuan Shen while he nurtures the Sui Tree and Innate Tai Yin Qi with all of his might. Then, the Sui Tree's Tai Yang Qi would nurture his Great Sun Golden Crow, and the Innate Tai Yin Qi's Tai Yin Qi would nurture his six-eyed Star Toad.
856
857It was incredibly dangerous to directly use the Tai Yang Qi and Tai Yin Qi as they were too powerful, able to incinerate his Golden Crow True Spirit and melt his Star Toad True Spirit in just seconds. However, the marvelous energy from the Dao Flowers were protecting the two True Spirits, he has no fear at al!
858
859The Tai Yang Qi and Tai Yin Qi were gushing in incessantly, while Zhong Yue was diverting the Dao Flowers to protect his two True Spirits.
860
861He would rather waste some of the Dao Flowers to get his two True Spirits cultivated into the Innate True Spirits first; even if that means he would have to delay his advancement into the Imminent Deity level!
862
863Chapter 580: The Silent Changes
864
865
866
867With the Dao Flowers falling into his body, Zhong Yue could clearly feel his True Spirits growing at an incredible rate. The Sui Tree and Innate Tai Yin Qi would ensure his True Spirits' advancements into the Innate Trie Spirits, while the Dao Flowers were the assurance that the two True Spirits would not be killed!
868
869The Innate True Spirit was the prerequisite to enter one of the state of extremities in the True Spirit level—the awakening of the Innate True Spirits, a state of extremity only achievable by the innate spirit bodies.
870
871If one wasn't the innate spirit bodies, they would never be able to cultivate this state of extremity, and would slowly be distanced away from the innate spirit bodies in the future.
872
873This was one of the many advantages of the innate spirit bodies, none of the races could ever force do it.
874
875Thus, when given the opportunity. Zhong Yue would do anything he could to get it done!
876
877The Dao Flowers were consumed by the two True Spirits, boosting their powers.
878
879When the 39th Dao Flowers was fully consumed, Zhong Yue's mortal body shuddered lightly. A marvelous sense of realization rushed into his head; his Golden Crow Yuan Shen was soaring and fluttering, totem patterns that were even more profound and abstruse than before emerged from its body!
880
881The knowledge and abstrusities of these totem patterns rushed into his head; they were the innate totem patterns, far beyond the Great Sun Totem Patterns he has attained!
882
883With the help of the Sui Tree and Dao Flowers, the Great Sun True Spirit has advanced one step faster into the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit!
884
885Zhong Yue's heart throbbed in excitement, the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit brought a huge leap in his prowess. His attainments in the Great Sun and True Spirit skills were wider and deeper, even his controls over the Pure Yang Qi were boosted!
886
887Furthermore, it was the sun that gave lights to the moon; with the succeed of the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit, he could feel his Star Toad True Spirit growing at a faster rate toward the innate state!
888
889"Good, good! It's all worth my hundreds of years of cultivations!", Zhong Yue was overjoyed. He now turned all of his focus onto the Star Toad True Spirit. In comparison, his Star Toad True Spirit was more inferior to his Golden Crow True Spirit, its foundation was not as strong.
890
891He didn't cultivate the Star Toad True Spirit as much as his Golden Crow True Spirit, and also because it was taken from Xiao Chuqing instead of him manifesting it on his own, it was much weaker than the Golden Crow Yuan Shen.
892
893However, the Dao Flowers and the Innate Tai Yin Qi, in addition to the newly cultivated Innate Golden Crow True Spirit, the Star Toad True Spirit was enhanced at an incredible speed!
894
895"Six more Dao Flowers left…"
896
897"Two more…"
898
899"Here comes the last Dao Flower…"
900
901Zhong Yue tensed his heart, he was getting nervous as there was only one last Dao Flower left he could use, and his Star Toad True Spirit was on the verge of advancement!
902
903He could feel it lingering just one step away from turning into the innate state, all he needed was a kick strong enough for it to advance one step further!
904
905...
906
907Meanwhile, a divine tree with a leafy treetop has arrived in the edge of the Ancestral Star's galaxy. It stopped and rooted itself in the center of the sun, shrouded the sun core away with its tree branches.
908
909Its branches have extended out in all domains to every corner of the galaxy; the Celestial Water Star, Celestial Gold Star, Ancestral Star, Celestial Fire Star, and eventually, the whole Solar System!
910
911Then, the leaves and branches grew fainter as the whole divine tree hid itself into the void, turning invisible and imperceivable to the world. Ever since then, the fundamental principles that dictated the galaxy here were changed!
912
913At the same time, a huge scroll was rolled out above the Solar System. It covered the whole galaxy like a screen of light.
914
915The scroll first wiped the surroundings back into a state of chaos; then, right inside of the the scroll, the light and dark was separated within the endless chaos, the endless elements of nature emerged, and also the beginning of life—it was reenacting the birth of a universe!
916
917Eventually, the Ancestral Star became one of the many stars and planets of the reenacted universe inside the divine scroll.
918
919The Technology Divine Tree and Skymetrical Scroll were coexisting like a single entity; one changed the fundamental principles of the surrounding and the other replaced the surrounding of the Solar System with a whole new universe.
920
921The two divine weapons arrived silently without making any entrances at all, they have already covered the Solar System even without any of the races' attentions.
922
923Only some of the gods were able to pick up a slight sense of oddness; they looked up into the sky and found the stars lights blurred out for a split second as if a piece of silk has flashed over, but the feeling was gone in the next second when they looked back again.
924
925On one of the moons orbiting around the Celestial Wood Star, Qiu Jin'er abruptly raised her head and gazed into the endless space, she felt an invisible barrier flowing across the top, but the feeling was vague and indistinct.
926
927Like boiling a toad with a bowl of warm water, all of the livings in the Solar System, including the gods were the toads in the bowl of warm water. The bowl of water would be slowly boiled hotter, until the livings were unable to leave anymore!
928
929"Lie Shan Clan, your little fire spark has burnt a huge hole!", on the edge of the Solar System, King Zi Guang mumbled in dissatisfaction as he saw the large hole present in the supposedly flawless Skymetrical Scroll.
930
931He shook his head and sighed while randomly picked a star and tucked it over to corked the large hole. Hence, the Solar System has welcomed its eighth member that orbits around the sun.
932
933"All done, I should go back now!", King Zi Guang laughed and left.
934
935Ever since, the path of cultivation in the Solar System would slowly wane and dies off!
936
937In the span of the next hundreds or even thousands of years, the elements required for cultivations would slowly extinct and the skills would slowly wane away. After 5,000 years, even the strongest skill and art might not even be able to light up a box of matches!
938
939Six thousand years later, the path of cultivation will be deracinated and a new world of technology has arisen.
940
941"Roar— Who are you?! Why are you standing on my path!", a loud holler of indignation rumbled like thunders.
942
943When the last Dao Flower disappeared into Zhong Yue's mortal body, it was also the time when the Technology Divine Tree changes the fundamental principles of the world around. As a result, the Dao Flower was flawless no more, its totem patterns were defected!
944
945The Dao Flower was formed by the heaven and earth, and it carried the will of the world. And when the Technology Divine Tree has affected the rules of heaven and earth, and bent the fundamental principles of the world, the Dao Flower was affected as well!
946
947It was just a merest blemish that burgeoned in it, but it was nevertheless a crucial element for Zhong Yue's success, causing him to fail in cultivating the Innate Star Toad True Spirit.
948
949The sudden absence of the Dao Flower's energy has surged instability within the newly formed Innate Star Toad True Spirit, eventually leading to its reversion back out from the innate state.
950
951Not only that, the lack of the Dao Flower's energy has left a small window in the Star Toad True Spirit's protection. Thus, the Innate Tai Yin Qi was allowed to struck on it, and nearly killed his Star Toad True Spirit!
952
953If the Star Toad True Spirit was unfortunately destroyed, half of his prowess would distinguish as well along with it, and he wouldn't be able to cultivate the lost prowess back at all!
954
955The swimmer knows best of the water's temperature. Zhong Yue was cultivating with the help of the Dao Flowers, he was in fact, the first to sense the sudden changes that occured in the world.
956
957He quickly kept the Innate Tai Yin Qi away without hesitation. Then, he looked up into the sky and saw an invisible barrier dispersing away into the void.
958
959"What is that… a barrier?", he cast out the divine third eye to look again with the Fuxi divine eyes, and he saw it.
960
961There were the fake stars and planets duplicated in front of the real ones, but it couldn't be perceived while looking out from the Ancestral Star. And there were the tree branches and leaves that extended all over the space.
962
963"This…", Zhong Yue's heart pounded in terror, he mumbled, "How large, these leaves are… this is a layer of… membrane? Is this the end for the Ancestral Star, the thing what moon god has talked about? It's finally here… Xin Huo, can you glean anything?"
964
965Xin Huo glanced around through Zhong Yue's divine eyes. Moments later, he shook his head and said, "I've got nothing. You are still too weak, I can only see what you see. The stronger you are, the more I can perceive. These leaves and tree branches, it's no doubt they are from a tree. By the looks of it, whatever this tree is, it is surely strong enough to stop all cultivation activities, but what is this membrane about?"
966
967The innate moon god once told him that the Ancestral Star would be sealed from cultivations, but she never said in what way.
968
969"To end all cultivations, how strong must one be to be able to do this?", Zhong Yue's face darkened. If all the cultivation activities in the Ancestral Star were ended, all the races, even the ancient celestials and demons would end up the same—the Qi Practitioners will cease to exist!
970
971But the rate of changes from the divine tree was slow, it would take many years for it to happen. Right now, the livings in the Ancestral Star could still cultivate, and even ascend into deityhood.
972
973The Qi Practitioners would still not extinct in the near future, but would eventually if the divine tree was not destroyed.
974
975"We humans are weak in nature, it is only because of the cultivations we are able to stand a chance against the other races. If the cultivations are stopped, we humans will never be able to protect ourselves in the face of the celestials, demons and insects!"
976
977The celestial race and demon race have high intelligence and strong bodies, they have a long history and firm foundations; while the insect race has the strong mortal bodies with terrifying rate of reproduction and adaptation of environments, they are only less intelligent than the celestials and demons.
978
979In stark contrast, the human race was the weakest, in each and every aspect!
980
981The end of cultivations would greatly impact the humans, more than any other races!
982
983"Brat Yue, the Ancestral Star's fundamental principles are impaired, this place is not suitable for cultivation anymore.", Xin Huo said decisively, "You need to leave this place already, either to the Kun Lun Realm, or activate the Heavenly Monarch Imperial Road in the Celestial Fire Star to go to the Zi Wei Galaxy. Force cultivating in a flawed environment like this will also leave flaws in your cultivation base!"
984
985Zhong Yue nodded softly, he had the same thought a long time ago as well. He was already reaching to the limit of the Ancestral Star, he could feel the restraints acting him, like a dragon trapped in a small pool.
986
987Now, he could finish traveling across the whole Ancestral Star in just less than three days, and he could stride across the ocean in two hours time. The Ancestral Star that seemed to be huge in the past now appeared to be incredibly small.
988
989A dragon would never be able to grow mighty enough in a small pool of water.
990
991"But, if I've leave just like that, what will happen to the humans?", Zhong Yue mumbled softly, he raised his head up and said, "The cultivations are the only thing we rely on to protect ourselves, and with it gone in the future, our people will not stand a chance to live well in this cruel world… Xin Huo, I will leave with you, but before that, I need to do that one thing I have been wanting to do a long time ago."
992
993"What thing?", Xin Huo asked curiously.
994
995Zhong Yue inhaled deeply and sighed, his voice suddenly turned colder than ice as he said, "A blood ritual, one like what the evil existence had done to us Fuxi. With the blood of the celestials, demons and insects, I will execute a ritual to seal all of them into the likes of us humans!"
996
997Chapter 581: Come, Let Us Hunt For The Gods
998
999
1000
1001Xin Huo was stunned for a second, and abruptly hopped up into mid-air in exuberantly. Sealing away the powers of all of the races' bloodlines and turn them like the humans?
1002
1003This was just like killing away the natural abilities of the races and place them down onto the same start as the humans!
1004
1005The power of the bloodlines were the sole reason why the other races were stronger than the humans. Some were born with immense strengths, some were strong in psyches, and some proficient in controlling the natural elements.
1006
1007Yet, the humans were born without any natural abilities; in fact, they were the weakest in every aspects!
1008
1009However, if the power in the other races' bloodlines were sealed away as well, they would fall to the same level as the human race, born without any natural abilities!
1010
1011And when the cultivations were ceased to exist in the future, the world's hierarchy of races would be starting all over again!
1012
1013"Brat Yue, do you know how much offerings you will need to carry out such a ritual?", the little flame asked.
1014
1015Xin Huo was also a marvelous being. Any other people would be shocked by Zhong Yue's wild ambition, and regard him as the embodiment of the greatest evil.
1016
1017But all Xin Huo had in mind was not the fact that Zhong Yue had such an evil plan, but where would they find the offerings to carry out the ritual!
1018
1019"If I only seal away the Ancestral Star and Celestial Wood Star, I suppose I won't need too much offerings?", Zhong Yue asked, "Patriarch Nature's mortal body, the City of Nature, is that sufficient to seal the power of the races?"
1020
1021"Far from enough!", Xin Huo shook his head, "Patriarch Nature is strong, but he isn't a Creator. His mortal body alone is not enough, you need more!"
1022
1023Zhong Yue's eyes throbbed and he said, "In addition to Xiao Mang grand anccestor, Lord Kun, Lord Demon and the gods of Ancestral Star?"
1024
1025Xin Huo ran the estimations in his mind and answered a few moments later, "Barely, but it's practically useless as it'll take three or even four thousand years for the effects to kick in. Also, your prowess now is not strong enough to host the sealing ritual. Furthermore, do you even know how to carry out a sealing ritual?"
1026
1027"About that, I will entrust the mighty Xin Huo to teach me.", Zhong Yue stiffened up his face and said.
1028
1029"I know a couple few of the sealing rituals, I can teach you.", Xin Huo said in hesitation, "But you are too weak, the ritual might even take your life along with the other offerings."
1030
1031Zhong Yue winked his eyes while smiling, "I will stop the ritual as soon as I feel myself unable to sustain it anymore. Furthermore, it's not easy to capture the gods like Lord Demon, Lord Kun. By the time I have done it, I will either be a god already or a near god. That time, I might just be able to host the sealing ritual without fear already."
1032
1033"True that, but you can't try it now. You still haven't cultivate the Innate Star Toad True Spirit, you are still too weak for the gods."
1034
1035After that, Xin Huo imparted a sealing ritual to Zhong Yue, it was called the Great Ritual of Sealing Abdication. It worships the heaven and earth, and utilized the power bestowed to carry out the sealing ritual.
1036
1037Xin Huo said solemnly, "One more thing, other than the risk of yourself offered together in the ritual, the sealing rituals will take a great toll on your life. Your lifespan will be greatly reduced, it is a curse, a punishment for sealing the powers of the livings."
1038
1039"Curse?", Zhong Yue was shocked, he asked, "Then, that evil existence who has cursed us Fuxi Celestial Race, will he be subjected to the same punishment?"
1040
1041Xin Huo thought about it, "But he is an innate god, lifespan means nothing to him. But if I am not wrong, another greater form of punishment will fall upon him. However, I can only verify that when I see him."
1042
1043Zhong Yue nodded and let it slide. He quietly attained the Great Ritual of Sealing Abdication, and it took a long time for him to briefly understand it.
1044
1045First and foremost, the Great Ritual of Sealing Abdication poses a stringent outline on its location. It needed to be done in a place that could is in touch with the earth while also reaches the sky, which means he would have to choose a high mountain.
1046
1047Furthermore, it requires the blood of the host to start the ritual, to have the offerings sacrificed and commune with the mighty power of the heaven and earth.
1048
1049Knowing clearly that the sealing ritual was infeasible at this moment, Zhong Yue has left it aside and he looked into the sky.
1050
1051Above him, in the Pure Yang lightning zone, a Pure Yang Lei Zhe was slowly coming into shape.
1052
1053Since I am here already, why don't I give it a try?, Zhong Yue thought about it and strode into the Pure Yang Lei Zhe.
1054
1055At the instant he laid foot in the Pure Yang Lei Zhe lightning loch, a hole was straight away created on his mortal body as a flash of Pure Yang lightning bore right through him. Zhong Yue's face changed drastically and he receded back out from it, and the Pure Yang Lei Zhe lightning loch has dispersed as well.
1056
1057This Pure Yang Lei Zhe lightning loch is far too terrifying. It's impossible for me to even pull through the first level. Without the Innate Star Toad True Spirit, without the second state of extremities in the True Spirit level, I can never do it at all! Not to mention that there are 81 levels of Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations. I suppose I might not be able to do it even in the Imminent Deity level…
1058
1059Suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind, But I have one thing else the others don't have, the Fuxi Yuan Shen!
1060
1061His heart throbbed heavily; unlike the other Qi Practitioners, he has three Yuan Shen, the Golden Crow, Star Toad, and Fuxi!
1062
1063The other Qi Practitioners had their Yuan Shen lead by the spirits and assisted by the souls as the spirits were stronger among the two. However, Zhong Yue's Fuxi Yuan Shen was the opposite, he had the soul as the lead and the spirit to assist!
1064
1065And it was only because his soul was stronger than the spirit, he was able to cultivate the sun spirit and moon spirit into his eyes!
1066
1067If he could cultivate his soul into the Innate True Spirit, and advance into the state of extremity of the True Spirit level, he would be able to finish the 81 Pure Yang Lei Zhe Lightning Tribulations!
1068
1069Shame, the advancement of the Innate Star Toad True Spirit has failed because of the divine tree. Else, I would have been trying to cultivate the Innate True Soul already. Fortunate enough, my Star Toad True Spirit is just half a step away from turning into the Innate True Spirit, I just need some time more to cultivate it!
1070
1071With a change of thought, two surges of blood essences flowed out in front of him and turned into Long Yue and Mister Bo Xun.
1072
1073The three nodded at one another and the other two bolted away with Zhong Yue still standing on the spot.
1074
1075Long Yue and Bo Xun's prowess were much greater than when they came. But even so, the differences in prowess between them and Zhong Yue grew further than before.
1076
1077After all, the two of them were just Zhong Yue's incarnations. They didn't have the real spirits, their spirits were just part of Zhong Yue's spirits.
1078
1079Right now, the two of them only totaled up to less than 20% of Zhong Yue's peak prowess.
1080
1081However, that was more than enough for them to rise above the mediocrities. In the eyes of the world, Long Yue and Bo Xun were rare talents, powerful True Spirit cultivators that could even defeat the weaker ones among the Imminent Deity magnates!
1082
1083Zhong Yue turned and returned in Swords Gate. From far, it was evident that the Swords Gate Mountain was a few thousand feet lower than usual, and he thought, So it seems like the Great Ritual of Sealing Abdication can't be hosted in the Swords Gate Mountain anymore. The power of heaven and earth might accidentally ravage the saint mountain. I need to find another mountain that is no less inferior than Swords Gate Mountain. I don't want to have Senior Martial Sister Jun chasing after my life if anything happens to the Swords Gate Mountain again.
1084
1085His pondered deeply, and his eyes suddenly brightened up, To the East Barren, I can host the ritual in the Xiao Kong Saint City! Furthermore, although Shi Buyi has been tamed, he never stopped trying to free himself. He has been cultivating hard lately, trying to breakthrough and ascend into deityhood. He is powerful, I may need him to help me in capturing the gods!
1086
1087Immediately, he changed his course toward the East Barren. After some time later, he has reached his destination and landed quietly in a dark corner inside of the saint city.
1088
1089Immediately, Shi Buyi sensed Zhong Yue's arrival and his face changed drastically. He quickly took Zhong Yue into his manor, in fear that the others would notice.
1090
1091Ever since the insect magnate controlled by Zhong Yue has infected on his Yuan Shen, Zhong Yue has never asked for anything, or even look for him at all. In all these years, he was also cultivating with all his might so as to ascend into deityhood and get rid of the insect magnate parasitizing on his Yuan Shen.
1092
1093Thus, Shi Buyi grew nervous, feared that Zhong Yue would notice his unwillingness to give in, and kill him on the spot.
1094
1095"Big lion, there is no need to worry so much." Zhong Yue smiled.
1096
1097The insect magnate was in his control, he knew everything Shi Buyi was up to and thus, he had not even the slightest worry of the lion extricating away from his control!
1098
1099Shi Buyi humped, he calmed himself down and faked a cough, he said, "Zhong Yue, you…"
1100
1101"Address me properly, for I am master.", Zhong Yue squinted his eyes and smiled.
1102
1103Shi Buyi's face turned red in embarrassment, he inhaled deeply and pressed down the anger within, "Master Zhong, what brings you here?"
1104
1105"You, of course.", Zhong Yue said casually, "Good news for you, I have killed Mother Da Zhen about a year ago, and I have seen great improvements in cultivation base as well. But seeing that you are still lingering in the Imminent Deity level, I have decided to help you in your advancement."
1106
1107Shi Buyi's heart throbbed in fear, he exclaimed out of shock, "You've killed a god? You killed Mother Da Zhen? How is that even possible?"
1108
1109Zhong Yue laughed, "How is that not possible? It is nothing at all."
1110
1111Shi Buyi's heart thumped nervously, if Zhong Yue has killed Mother Da Zhen, doesn't that mean Zhong Yue's prowess was beyond his reach?
1112
1113Then, even if he has cultivated the Pure Yang Yuan Shen, and ascended into deityhood, he still wouldn't be able to free himself from Zhong Yue's control!
1114
1115So… am I going to be a lion ride for the rest of my days?, Shi Buyi was lost of words, and his mind went blank. Suddenly, he thought of the lower half part of what Zhong Yue said and he quickly asked, "Master Zhong, what kind of help do you mean?"
1116
1117Zhong Yue patted on Shi Buyi's head like petting a lion cub, he said in a serious tone, "I am planning to help you in your ascension into the deityhood, to become a god."
1118
1119Shi Buyi was stunned, he stammered, "Help me to… to become the… god? But how…"
1120
1121"You see, a closed door training on your own is less of a way to breakthrough, especially to advance into the deityhood. Now, you have reached to the limit of what you can gain from cultivation, what you truly need now is a bloody and gory battle!"
1122
1123Zhong Yue squinted his eyes and smiled, looking like a cunning fox as he said, "You need to fight with the formidable opponents, to feel the threats to your life, to pressure yourself through your limits. Do you really think the deityhood can really be achieved by just cultivating?"
1124
1125Shi Buyi nodded incessantly, he was dawned; while Zhong Yue continued, "So, follow me and I will bring you to kill a few gods to help you in this crucial moment of your life. Don't thank me, if you aren't my ride, I wouldn't even look at you at all. Come, let us hunt for the gods!"
1126
1127Chapter 582: The【Skills of Diction】
1128
1129
1130
1131However, Shi Buyi somewhat sensed the bad intentions behind Zhong Yue's warm words. Shi Buyi knew what kind of a man Zhong Yue was, this young human would never be so kind to the other races, especially the monsters.
1132
1133He saw no legitimate reason for Zhong Yue to help him in his advancement in cultivation level, and furthermore, why would one have to kill the gods to become a god?
1134
1135It sounded easy to kill a god, but which god was ever an easy target? Shi Buyi reckoned that he most probably be killed by the gods instead of killing the gods.
1136
1137He said he want to kill the gods so to help me in breaking through, but I think he just wants to take revenge on the gods for sending him to the insect race. But… are we really capable of killing the gods?
1138
1139Shi Buyi grew nervous, although he regarded himself as more talented than the gods, he was still not a god yet; even in addition to Zhong Yue, it might still just be no different a suicide to stir trouble with the gods.
1140
1141But he couldn't have said 'no' to Zhong Yue either as his life was in the hands of the Zhong Shan Clan young man.
1142
1143Even though Zhong Yue seemed to be nice and gentle now, it was not impossible for the brutal young man to change his expressions in the next second. By then, not only would Shi Buyi have to pull through the unbearable pain, he would have lost his dignity in front of the monster race as well!
1144
1145Rendered no choice, Shi Buyi could only agree and accept Zhong Yue's 'good will', and acted to be 'grateful'.
1146
1147"Ease yourself, lion."
1148
1149The two walk out of the Xian Kong Saint City, and Zhong Yue comforted Shi Buyi when he saw the cold sweat on the Shi Buyi'shead, "The gods are gravely injured by the moon god and Xiao Mang grand ancestor, they wouldn't be able to recover so quickly. We are more than sufficient to handle one wounded god at a time, it is not as hard as you think."
1150
1151On the other hand, Shi Buyi was hollering in his heart, The gods are injured a year ago, even if they have yet to fully recover, most of their injuries are already in control now.
1152
1153Rays flashed across Zhong Yue's eyes as he said, "But the moon god and Xiao Mang grand ancestor scared them a lot, they have went into their hidings. But this won't be too much of an issue… Shi Buyi, you are the monster overlord, do you know where the gods are at?"
1154
1155Shi Buyi shook his head rapidly, he wouldn't tell even if he knows, no way he would tell Zhong Yue about the gods' locations.
1156
1157"The West Barren gods are easier to find, they should be in their temples. Guess like we will have to head to the West Barren first for now!"
1158
1159…
1160
1161West Barren, Xiao Mang supreme temple.
1162
1163The Xiao Mang white-robed priests knelt humbly in front of the temple, awaiting Xiao Mang grand ancestor's rebirth. These few days, the supreme temple was shrouded in godly rays and emanated an entrancing fragrance, clearly, the possession was a success, the grand ancestor would walk out through the door anytime now.
1164
1165All of a sudden, the supreme temple's doors opened, and Feng Wuji gently walked out in a yellow dress and an umbrella.
1166
1167"We welcome the grand ancestor's return!", the white-robes priests knelt humbly and shouted in unison.
1168
1169Suddenly, Feng Wuji laughed loudly, he said, "Grand ancestor? Xiao Mang grand ancestor is dead! I've possessed his prowess now, where comes the grand ancestor?"
1170
1171The white-robed priests were stunned, they looked up and saw Feng Wuji sitting down in the middle of the supreme temple while saying placidly, "But I can be your grand ancestor. From now onward, I am your Wuji grand ancestor. I want all of the godly statues in the Xiao Mang Celestial Race to be changed into my own ones, even the Xiao Mang grand ancestor's statues will be changed into mine. Here onwards, the Xiao Mang Celestial Race can only worship me!"
1172
1173An old priest was piqued in anger, he stood up abruptly and shouted out of indignation, "Xiao Wuji, you unfilial fiend, how dare you.."
1174
1175Bang—
1176
1177The old priest's head exploded away and all Feng Wuji did was to raise a finger up. And when old priest's Yuan Shen dashed out from his mortal body to escape, Feng Wuji had just casually opened his umbrella and closed it again. But the result was the old priest's Yuan Shen was sucked into the umbrella and ground into ashes in it.
1178
1179The other priests were bewildered, all kinds of emotions filled their eyes and faces. Immediately, a huge portion of them have knelt down and kowtowed at him while chanting in unison, "Wuji grand ancestor!"
1180
1181But there were a few that refused to pledge their allegiance, they were chiding at him. Feng Wuji flicked his finger continuously and the last thing the priests ever heard before death was a cold hum that came from him.
1182
1183"I have even killed Xiao Mang grand ancestor, let alone you pricks?" It was only after he killed the priests had Feng Wuji said, "Maybe all of you should learn how to evaluate the situation and make the right choices in your next life. The rest of you, do as I have demanded."
1184
1185The other white-robed priests stood up and left; if one looked close enough, their bodies were still shivering even after they have left the supreme temple.
1186
1187The Xiao Mang Qi Practitioners were ordered to break the godly statues away and replace Feng Wuji's statue above the ruins. The order was to be carried out with immediate effect, and no one was allowed to worship any other objects other than Feng Wuji in the future. Any act to resist his will would be considered as a treason to the race and would be executed on the spot!
1188
1189That day alone, mountains of corpses were piled up in front of the Xiao Mang Celestial Temples, all of them were the experts that refused to bow before him.
1190
1191Then, the rest of the Xiao Mang Qi Practitioners blew out fire from their mouths and incinerated the corpses. The smell of the dead gushed up into the sky and had lingered across the Xiao Mang territory for days after the incident.
1192
1193Ever since, Feng Wuji has taken total control over the whole Xiao Mang Celestial Race.
1194
1195Xiao Mang grand ancestor that old dog has underestimated me, he said I will never become a god, but the energy I have siphoned from him is actually sufficient for the ascension into deityhood. All I need to do is to keep on fighting so that the battles will allow me to absorb and convert his energy into my own, and also gain new attainments through the battles. I, will be the greatest god the Ancestral Star will ever see!
1196
1197Feng Wuji's decisiveness played a huge part in ruling the whole Xiao Mang Celestial Race, he became its supreme leader in just days of time. Then, he raised his umbrella and pointed at the Bi Fang Celestial Race.
1198
1199In just a day's time, the Bi Fang Celestial Temples were torn to the ground and the godly spirits killed. Countless Bi Fang experts were held captive and even more died in the war. The godly statues were all pushed down and replaced by Feng Wuji's statues.
1200
1201The Bi Fang Celestial Race was a strong celestial race no weaker than the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. They had a god on their side as well, but the Bi Fang goddess died in the hands of Xiao Mang grand ancestor. Thus, they have nothing that could stop Feng Wuji when he waged war with them. Only a few eminent Bi Fang Qi Practitioners were able to escape death and imprisonment.
1202
1203For the next few months of time, Feng Wuji has annihilated a number of celestial races; he killed the godly spirits, replaced the statues with his own, and slaughtered those who resists.
1204
1205Meanwhile, he himself has converted many of Xiao Mang grand ancestor's energy in his body through the battle with the godly spirits. He grew stronger after each battle, and this one day, Feng Wuji has reached to the front of the Gui Shen Celestial Race's territory, behind him was the Xiao Mang Celestial Race and an army formed by the captives of the other races.
1206
1207"Wei Xue, the God of Blood."
1208
1209Feng Wuji glared emotionlessly at the Gui Shen Temple, he said, "I know you are not dead yet, you are here healing your wounds with the power of worship, but it all ends here and now, come out and meet with your death!"
1210
1211All of a sudden, a burst of godly aura pierced through the sky, the clouds turned bloody and a blood-soaked god emerged in the sky. The giant god seemed to be formed purely from the coagulated bloods, but not a single drop of blood sprinkled down from the sky.
1212
1213"Xiao Wuji, how dare you taunt me, and challenge the Gui Shen Celestial Race.", the God of Blood's eyes were also made from the coagulated bloods, he laughed and said, "You are just a pet dog Xiao Mang grand ancestor keeps under his leg, he can eat you anything he wants. Is he the one that gave you the courage to taunt me? Doesn't matter anyway, I will still kill you anyhow!"
1214
1215The bloody clouds sunk down from the sky like a blood ocean, while the armies of Feng Wuji cast out the divine weapons and formed the array formations in order to push it off.
1216
1217In just seconds, the blood ocean has fully swallowed the array formations in it, only the Qi Practitioners inside of the array formations were able to push out the blood ocean. Suddenly, one of the array formations was thwarted by the blood water, and it failed; the blood water seeped into the array formation and turned the over thousand Qi Practitioners inside into the skeletons.
1218
1219"Hahaha, just nice that I have some injuries that requires a huge lot of energy to heal, your minions makes a perfect tonic I needed. Xiao Wuji, I'm starting to be grateful, and felt like sparing your life!", Wei Xue God laughed loudly.
1220
1221Feng Wuji opened his umbrella, it enlarged as it flies up the sky, and it abruptly sucked the whole blood ocean into it, including Wei Xue God.
1222
1223"Your arcane energy, how can it be so strong?!", Wei Xue God's face turned dark, he shouted in shock as he was sucked into the umbrella. When the umbrella was closed, the canopy was soaked with blood and was eroded away, leaving it with only the rib assemblies.
1224
1225An ocean of blood surged out from the umbrella and Wei Xue God stood above the streaming bloods.
1226
1227But just as he freed himself out from the umbrella, Feng Wuji has slammed his hands down on him.
1228
1229Krong—
1230
1231The blood ocean exploded and Wei Xue God's mortal body scattered into bloods.
1232
1233"I have siphoned the old dog Xiao Mang grand ancestor.", Feng Wuji stride above the water, his body shuddered and two Pan Ao heads grew out from his neck, glancing vigilantly to the sides.
1234
1235Meanwhile, one of the Pan Ao head said placidly, "I need you to give me more pressure, to help me in breaking through to deityhood, to cultivate the Pure Yang Yuan Shen!"
1236
1237Hua—
1238
1239Wei Xue God formed himself in the blood ocean again, he opened his hands and many blood dragons have lunged out toward Feng Wuji. He laughed while saying, "Then, I shall fulfil your death wish! You've made a mistake to step into my Blood River Array Formation. Don't worry, I will not let you die so soon, I want you to watch as I suck away every single energy within your body!"
1240
1241The blood dragons were striking from many directions. But Feng Wuji stood still, and he said the magic word, "Still!"
1242
1243He spoke a language that even Wei Xue God has never heard of before, it sounded ancient, and imbued a profound skill within.
1244
1245This single word alone has stopped the blood dragons still in mid-air, they were unable to move even for a single inch.
1246
1247Wei Xue God yelled and suged his power into the blood dragons, extricating the dragons and they pounced down at Feng Wuji again.
1248
1249"Seal!"
1250
1251"Lightning!"
1252
1253"Slash!"
1254
1255Feng Wuji spoke one word at a time, loud and clear. The blood dragons and Wei Xue God were first sealed, then struck by the lightnings and killed by the saber rays; the skills were so powerful that even Wei Xue God had to raise his defense against them.
1256
1257All of a sudden, Wei Xue God took a step back and disappeared in Feng Wuji's senses. It was the natural ability of the Gui Shen Celestial Race, to hide themselves in the void, and wait for the chance to assassinate their targets.
1258
1259The words Feng Wuji spoke were exceptionally strong, he couldn't have let his guard down and has decided to use the natural ability of the Gui Shen Celestial Race to assassinate Feng Wuji.
1260
1261"Heaven!", Feng Wuji abruptly gritted his teeth and chanted. His body suddenly turned as mighty as the heaven; right at this moment, a bloody hand has came out from the void and clawed on his body, leaving only a severe injury instead of killing him.
1262
1263The [Skills of Diction] is really a strong skill!, Feng Wuji laughed, the wounds of his mortal body have been healed right away. He didn't cultivate the Immortal Body, but the abundant energy from Xiao Mang grand ancestor contains immense life force that could heal any kind of wounds in just the matter of seconds!
1264
1265"Seal!"
1266
1267Without any worries left, Feng Wuji spoke another word and forcibly pushed Wei Xue God out from the void. Then, the two of them have engaged in a bone-rattling battle in mid-air.
1268
1269A thousand miles away, Shi Buyi was in his true form, a giant lion with nine heads, while Zhong Yue sat on his back. The two of them watched at the battle from far and Zhong Yue's face changed drastically, he mumbled, "When did Feng Wuji became so strong?"
1270
1271"Master Zhong, you are no match for Feng Wuji now, let alone killing the gods!", Shi Buyi sighed and said.
1272
1273Zhong Yue stared closely at the battle, and he shook his head, "Maybe not! Feng Wuji's cultivation base is unstable, it's the ancient words that he is really rely on. Without that, he might not even stand a chance against me."
1274
1275Chapter 583: Faster!
1276
1277
1278
1279What a boast!, thought Shi Buyi.
1280
1281Zhong Yue who was observing the battle between Feng Wuji and Wei Xue God too, felt confused by the rapid surge in Feng Wuji's strength which was entirely impossible!
1282
1283He himself was already improving in godly speed but once compared with Feng Wuji, he was nothing at all; right now, Feng Wuji was on par with a demi god or perhaps even stronger!
1284
1285Feng Wuji's arcane energy capacity was so high that he had a higher capacity than gods, which allowed him to be able to spend them all without holding back.
1286
1287Zhong Yue could also tell that although Feng Wuji's strength increased dramatically, he still couldn't fully draw out his maximum power.
1288
1289Feng Wuji had tremendous power, increased his level quickly, making him to be extremely terrifying in the eyes of the others but to someone like Zhong Yue and the others who fought their way up into the forty nine levels of Lighting Tribulations, there were flaws all over Feng Wuji.
1290
1291Similar to him, Zhong Yue once experienced this as well and this was when he consumed the 49 Dao Flowers.
1292
1293Each Dao Flower contained 10 years of cultivation power and 49 of them meant that there were 490 years of cultivation power. If he fully absorbed the power of the Dao Flower, he would definitely be stronger than Feng Wuji but at the same time, even more hollow than Feng Wuji.
1294
1295Thus, he chose to use these 490 years of cultivation to help him become an innate spirit body.
1296
1297Right now, Feng Wuji was just like a fat man; he may be big but his muscles are weak, preventing him from fully unleashing his full powers and limited his movements greatly.
1298
1299Hence, Zhong Yue was not exaggerating when he said that Feng Wuji was weak.
1300
1301At this moment, Zhong Yue stood on a level completely different from Feng Wuji; in order to pursue relentless raw power, Feng Wuji has forgotten the true essence of the being strong.
1302
1303What made Zhong Yue worried was those weird words coming from Feng Wuji.
1304
1305The ability of Feng Wuji that turned his words into various powerful attacks had become his biggest asset!
1306
1307It was actually very normal Qi Practitioners could manipulate voice and turn their voices into attacks; for example, Shao Hao Bell and the other moves were all sound attacks and Jun Sixie's life bound soul weapon was a zither and she attacks through the zither.
1308
1309But being able to turn voices into terrific attacks that possess incredible power, launching various attacks through different antonation was something Zhong Yue has never come across with.
1310
1311"What kind of technique is this? This language doesn't seems to be the godly language used in communication but Dao."
1312
1313Zhong Yue frowned upon this immediately. After the Fire and Earth Order Era, under the rulings of the Heavenly Monarchs, the universe was united and the languages of all races have been unified; they were all using the godly language, a language that was set as the official language by the Sui Sovereign; if the many races out there were still using their own languages without restrictions, it would be difficult for ruling.
1314
1315Thus, although the different races have their own languages, the official and common language used was still the godly language set by Sui Sovereign and the godly language has been the only official language that lasted all the way into the Earth Order Era.
1316
1317But the language used by Feng Wuji was entirely different; it didn't sound like any of the godly or demon languages and it was even more ancient and mysterious.
1318
1319All in a sudden, Xin Huo said with a slightly serious tone, "This godly language has always been circulating between innate gods all the while. These innate gods' language was different compared to ours. They were born and nurtured by heaven and earth, unique beings blessed by Dao, thus, they managed to develop such language. This guy here must have obtained the heritage of an innate god!"
1320
1321"Innate god?"
1322
1323Zhong Yue's eyes brigtened up and he licked his lips as he said, "The heritages of innate gods are definitely incredibly powerful. The Demon Saint only got a tiny bit of Bo Xun's heritage and he managed to create the [Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art] which benefit me greatly. The heritage Feng Wuji received must be even more perfect and stronger than the Demon Saint's! If I could fight with such strong heritage…."
1324
1325"Hey lion! Since we are here already, how about you kill Wei Xue God and I kill Feng Wuji right now!"
1326
1327Shi Buyi's heart thumped and he quickly replied, "Master Zhong, I think it's best for us to wait until they are both hurt badly…."
1328
1329Suddenly, Zhong Yue's psyche surged out rapidly, controlled that insect race magnate Qi Practitioner proning on Shi Buyi's Yuan Shen and Shi Buyi started charging towards Wei Xue God under Zhong Yue's control.
1330
1331While he cried out loud in his heart, Zhong Yue stood on his back and Zhong Yue's presence increased tremendously.
1332
1333At the same time, although both Wei Xue God and Feng Wuji fought fiercely, they realized the two incoming strong auras which perhaps, were the existence of demigods.
1334
1335But the two of them were already fighting so fierce to an extent that if one of them stop attacking, that person will definitely be injured or even get killed.
1336
1337As Shi Buyi's speed increased gradually under Zhong Yue's control, he made up his mind, set aside his thoughts that were running wild and charged determinedly towards the front. He then thought, I am only a step away from achieving the Pure Yang Yuan Shen and without the flaws in my technique, Wei Xue God will not be able to kill me even if I am no match for him! However, if Feng Wuji killed Zhong Yue, then it will be an opportunity for me to break free!
1338
1339Right now, Shi Buyi stood on the peak state where the old Sword God stood, perhaps even stronger and he was even younger where his body and Yuan Shen were in the peak performance.
1340
1341He then completely unleashed his aura, his razor sharp furs stood up and disrupted the focus of Wei Xue God and Feng Wuji.
1342
1343This lion lived up to his name as someone who has been in the Imminent Deity extreme state for a such a long time that he was strong enough to threaten gods!
1344
1345Suddenly, blood covered the skies and from the blood ocean came countless raging blood dragons that lunged towards Shi Buyi. He however, ignored the blood dragons and continued to charge towards his target. Just when the dragons were about to get close, Shi Buyi's nine heads roared loudly and shattered the blood dragons.
1346
1347"Seal! Seal! Seal! Seal! Seal!"
1348
1349Feng Wuji's head at the centre suddenly turned around, shouted five times and the dimension around Shi Buyi was sealed as Feng Wuji attempted to lock the lion where he now stood to prevent him from getting close.
1350
1351Shi Buyi halted for a moment and suddenly, he roared, unleashed his power and in just a blink of an eye, he broke free and he gotten even closer!
1352
1353"Hou!"
1354
1355The nine lion heads roared, stood up and turned into a celestial being with nine heads and eight arms, all covered in thick furs and yielded eight Extreme Weapons. The lion then traveled a few hundred metres in just a few steps, raised his weapon and charged straight towards Wei Xue God in relentless force!
1356
1357Shi Buyi!
1358
1359Feng Wuji had a shock and right away, happiness overwhelmed him as Shi Buyi actually attacked Wei Xue God. He has been fighting for a very long time; not only did he fail to win Wei Xue God, Wei Xue God even found his flaws, making it extremely difficult for him to sustain the rampage of Wei Xue God. In the end, Feng Wuji was struggling but if Shi Buyi helped him, then things would be easier!
1360
1361Wait… I clearly sensed two auras just now! Where is the other one!?
1362
1363Feng Wuji looked around and suddenly, he looked at Shi Buyi's shoulder where a human young man stood there calmly.
1364
1365Zhong Yue! It's him!
1366
1367Feng Wuji's heart beated quickly right away and he thought, How is he so strong? He is not anywhere weaker than Shi Buyi! But even so, I am far ahead of him and he is nowhere close to me!
1368
1369On the shoulders of Shi Buyi, Zhong Yue raised his palm slowly and pointed his palm at Feng Wuji.
1370
1371Upon seeing this, Feng Wuji smiled and said, "My dear apprentice, I once said that I could be way faster than you, want to see it now? I have mastered all the ultimate arts of Swords Gate and what do you plan on using against me? The [Great Boundless Sword Qi]?"
1372
1373Zhong Yue too, smiled as power sun rays erupted from his palm and turned into a huge bell.
1374
1375It was the [Shao Hao Bell]!
1376
1377Tremendous noise sounded, created impact that shook Feng Wuji greatly before sending him flying away!
1378
1379"Seal! Seal! Seal!"
1380
1381Feng Wuji's three head shouted, created three seals that sealed the bell but at the same time, Zhong Yue plunged out, raised his hands and slashed the Metamagnet Divine Saber downwards!
1382
1383Before the saber landed, the blood ocean splitted apart by invisible power and Feng Wuji's expression changed immediately.
1384
1385"Shield! Shield! Shield! Shield! Shield!"
1386
1387Shields immediately appeared in front of Feng Wuji but Zhong Yue's saber cut through the shields with little effort.
1388
1389When Zhong Yue's momentum stopped, he suddenly retracted his palm before he delivered a punch that pummeled into the seals and destroyed the shields with the Solar Divine Saber!
1390
1391"Array…."
1392
1393Just as Feng Wuji said something and when his array was about to form, the Solar Divine Saber cut right into the array and sliced the array apart!
1394
1395"Array! Array! Array!"
1396
1397One after another arrays formed, restricted the Solar Divine Saber but Zhong Yue on the other hand, slammed the Metamagnet Divine Saber into the array before he got straight right up to Feng Wuji.
1398
1399Sabers flashed across Feng Wuji's eyes with lightning speed as they changed sizes all the time, pushing him back as they circled around him. Although Feng Wuji delivered various attacks that fended off the sabers, Zhong Yue always swapped hands and stuck closely to him.
1400
1401"I thought you said you was fast?"
1402
1403Another head grew out from Zhong Yue's neck, two hands grew out from his armpits and Zhong Yue unleashed another fiercer barrage of attacks!
1404
1405"Now let's see who is faster!"
1406
1407Zhong Yue's hurled his sabers in tremendous power and relentless speed that was so strong that he started slicing the dimension apart, exposing one after another dimensional cracks!
1408
1409"Are you faster? Or am I faster!"
1410
1411Zhong Yue's attack speed leveled again and in the end, Feng Wuji couldn't see the sabers properly anymore and all he could do were fending off Zhong Yue's attack hurriedly and backed off; Feng Wuji had unlimited power in him but due to his lack of control in his own power, he failed to utilize them fully and his capability to turn voice into powers could only be used to fend of Zhong Yue's attack.
1412
1413Later on, Zhong Yue's attack speed was even faster than him and Feng Wuji was forced to use his hands to cast powers to fend off Zhong Yue's attacks, causing him to suffer injuries on his hands.
1414
1415"I can still be faster, can you!?"
1416
1417Zhong Yue shouted as four more arms grew out, the [Celestial Demon Yin Yang Style] was cast out and the [Tai Chi Art] were launched unceasingly at Feng Wuji.
1418
1419In an instant, countless attacks landed on Feng Wuji's chest, injuring him greatly and following tightly next were thousands of palms that slammed onto his heads.
1420
1421As Zhong Yue delivered his final attacks, Feng Wuji's heads were all slammed right into his chest, causing his chest to swell up greatly!
1422
1423Chapter 584: Contest For The Head
1424
1425
1426
1427Feng Wuji's three heads were slammed into his stomach, and the [Skills of Diction] was stopped abruptly as all three mouths were corked. Suddenly, there were voices that came from his stomach, he could still speak with the stomach!
1428
1429"[Monster God Ming King Art], I know it as well!", arms grew out from his headless body, and exchanged punches with Zhong Yue!
1430
1431Meanwhile, his three heads were also trying to come out from his body.
1432
1433The life force in his body was far too terrifyingly strong, able to support him even when his heads were slammed into his body. Not only that, but there wasn't a single sign of his prowess faltering at all. It was only the [Skills of Diction] that was halted. After all, speaking inside of one's body would injure the internal organs.
1434
1435But as long as his head could come out from his stomach, he would still be able to turn the tide of battle!
1436
1437"Trying to come out? Keep on dreaming!" Zhong Yue cast the two divine sabers and brought them down in a slashing motion, while he engaged with Feng Wuji in a fast-paced frontal combat. The [Celestial Demon Yin Yang Style] was unleashed to its fullest, he didn't use any of the complicated skills like [Celestial Demon Yi] or [Worshipping of Gods], all there was were the fast and simple skills!
1438
1439Although they were fast and simple, the [Celestial Demon Yin Yang Style] was in fact, no less weaker than the attacks of the demi-god!
1440
1441Every movement he made was concomitant with a strong burst of force, the [Tai Chi Art] emerged on everywhere he strikes on, and the attacks were changing continuously between the elements of demon and celestial, Yin and Yang.
1442
1443One moment the attack was Yin and celestial elemented, and in the next it has turned into the Yang demon. The interchange of elements have caused a great deal of damage to Feng Wuji as he couldn't have reacted precisely to the incoming attacks, he felt as though his mortal body and Yuan Shen were tearing apart!
1444
1445Moreover, Zhong Yue's two divine sabers were snaking around his neck, raining down at it, and effectively prevented his heads from coming out of the stomach.
1446
1447Chi, chi, chi—
1448
1449Over a dozen new wounds have crawled over his body in just the blink of an eye, the longer the battle continued, the more terrified Feng Wuji grew.
1450
1451His arcane energy could clash directly against Wei Xue God, he was just a fine line weaker than the God of Blood. Furthermore, he has suppressed part of Xiao Mang grand ancestor's power too as he wanted to train himself through the battle with Wei Xue God. All so he could gain more insights, and breakthrough to the next cultivation level.
1452
1453Yet now, Zhong Yue who was just a True Spirit magnate, a cultivator who was far below the level of Wei Xue God, has brought even more pressure to him than when he faced with the good!
1454
1455Although Wei Xue God's attacks were powerful, he could still take it. But Zhong Yue's attacks weren't as strong as Wei Xue God's, yet was able to injure him continuously!
1456
1457Strange, how can Feng Wuji's Yuan Shen block my Solar Divine Saber?, Zhong Yue's face turned solemn. The Solar Divine Saber was meant to target on the Yuan Shen and the Metamagnet Divine Saber aimed at the soul weapons.
1458
1459Even the gods' Yuan Shen would have been injured from the Solar Divine Saber, yet, he could feel something stalling the Solar Divine Saber when it slashed on Feng Wuji's psyche ocean.
1460
1461There must be some divine weapons in his Yuan Shen that blocked my Solar Divine Saber! But even the divine saber couldn't do much against the Metamagnet Divine Saber. So why couldn't the Metamagnet Divine Saber slash into his psyche ocean as well?, Zhong Yue was puzzled.
1462
1463Little did he know that Xiao Mang grand ancestor's spirit was still trapped and sucked of energy within Tu Yu's decree. This has allowed Feng Wuji's body to brim with immense life force of the Deity Overlord, which was why he was kept alive despite the grave injuries.
1464
1465This was the sole reason Feng Wuji dared to taunt Wei Xue God. The Deity Overlord's life force could push his mortal body to the level no different like the Immortal Body. As long as he was not completely killed dead in an instant, he would not die!
1466
1467Furthermore, he has another protection on his Yuan Shen as well.
1468
1469His Yuan Shen was covered in the golden liquid from Tu Yu's decree, safeguarding his Yuan Shen from taking any form of damage. Even if Zhong Yue could kill his mortal body, his Yuan Shen would still be left unharmed!
1470
1471"Wuji, you are no match for him!", inside of Feng Wuji's psyche ocean, Xiao Mang grand ancestor's spirit said. The three-headed Pan Ao was still strong and powerful, he was also closely looking at the battle, and his right head smirked in saying, "You will never be able to defeat him. He is stronger than you because he has cultivated everything on his own; all he has now are earned through hardships and tribulations that even the gods couldn't have imagined."
1472
1473"I can feel the power lurking within his mortal body and Yuan Shen, bright like the sun, and is densely built together.", Xiao Mang grand ancestor's left head said, "He is more than capable of crushing your mortal body away. And if that happens, no matter how many worshippers you have, your mortal body will still never be recovered anymore. All you are left is your soul and spirit, and the only way out for you by that time will be to possess a new body."
1474
1475"Let me out, I will kill him for you!", the middle head abruptly bellowed, "The energy you have siphoned from me is far beyond what is necessary for the ascension into deityhood. Any more energy will make no difference still. Your frame of mind, attainments, insights, and will are yet to be in the realm of the gods, you need to go through more to be able to cultivate the Pure Yang Yuan Shen! If you let me go now, I will help you to kill him, and also let the past scatter in the winds!"
1476
1477Feng Wuji's Yuan Shen gave a cold hum, "Xiao Mang grand ancestor, do you think I will believe you?"
1478
1479Xiao Mang grand ancestor sneered back, "If you do, you can still survive; if you don't, you will die. There is no way for you to escape from his divine sabers!"
1480
1481"Xiao Mang grand ancestor, it's no use. My teacher has given me this decree with only one purpose—to siphon your energy. Even I don't know how to dispel the decree, I suggest you to stop dreaming of escaping, and be obedient, just enjoy the rest of your life on your own!"
1482
1483"Then, I shall sit back and watch as you die!", Xiao Mang grand ancestor said frigidly, "After you die, the decree will disperse on its own, and I will still be freed anyhow!"
1484
1485"I will not die, not so easily!", Feng Wuji's three heads roared in unison. All of a sudden, his chest exploded away as his two Pan Ao heads have extruded out from his body!
1486
1487Whereas the third head came out from his back, it was the head of a human, and it came out right below the back of his neck!
1488
1489At that instant, Feng Wuji has turned into a peculiar creature with two Pan Ao heads on his chest and a human head on the back.
1490
1491Then, the exuberant life force of the Deity Overlord in his body has surged out and regrown the wounds on his chest and back, healing them in the matter of seconds.
1492
1493Although the life force of the Deity Overlord was exuberant, even stronger than Zhong Yue's Immortal Body, it still wasn't the Immortal Body. The Immortal Body could manipulate the cultivator's mortal body according to his own free will, able to change even the minutest details. But the Deity Overlord life force in Feng Wuji's body was not his in the first place, he couldn't have control it at all.
1494
1495Which means, for his mortal body to be fully healed now, he would have been stuck in this form for the rest of his life. Unless he has cultivated the Immortal Body in the future, otherwise, he would never be able to return to his usual entrancing appearances anymore!
1496
1497But the situation has left him with no choice, Feng Wuji couldn't have considered too much anymore. Before this, his heads were on the top and his hands were unable to protect them too quickly. But now, with his three heads growing out in the middle, his eight arms were able to safeguard them easily. This allowed him to finally cast the [Skills of Diction] without fear of Zhong Yue slamming his heads back into his body. However, it was his appearance that bugged him the most now.
1498
1499As soon as his three heads were freed, he has started chanting the innate god's ancient language again.
1500
1501"Weapon!"
1502
1503"God!"
1504
1505"Array!"
1506
1507"Formation!"
1508
1509…
1510
1511The word 'Weapon' has filled the sky with weapons; the word 'God' was manifested into many godly figures that clenched on the weapons; the word 'Array' and 'Formation' made the gods to stand into an array formation that trapped Zhong Yue in!
1512
1513...
1514
1515Zhong Yue combined the sabers together into a scroll painting of Tai Chi. The Tai Chi painting covered over a thousand miles of land; sun and moon rose and fell, and the Yin and Yang were revolving in it. It clashed with Feng Wuji's weaponized godly figures, and fought against the array formation!
1516
1517But that was not all, the Tai Chi painting was after all formed by the divine sabers, it has actively assaulted the godly figures when the two clashed together.
1518
1519It happened right when Feng Wuji was on the verge of pouncing down, he quickly stopped and knew that it was impossible for him to turn the tide anymore. Hence, he has turned and left without hesitations.
1520
1521Meanwhile, Zhong Yue has bowed and the Tai Chi painting rose into a huge altar. Feng Wuji's godly figures along with the weapons were all worshipped away into ashes!
1522
1523In the instant when the array formation, godly figures and divine weapons were sacrificed, a flash of saber ray blinded Feng Wuji's eyes!
1524
1525Zhong Yue has surged the power of the sacrificed objects into his sabers!
1526
1527The saber ray made a beautiful arc across the sky, and Feng Wuji hardly made a turn to evade the saber. Right at that moment, another flash of saber ray has slashed down and decapitated the head on his back!
1528
1529He was still unfamiliar with his current mortal body. If it was the usual days, tilting the body and evaded the saber from the side was the best choice, but he has forgotten that his head was now on the front of his chest and the back of his body. Tilting his body to evade the attack was no different than moving his head right to the course of the divine saber.
1530
1531Furthermore, Zhong Yue wields a twin saber. He managed to evade the Solar Divine Saber that slashed on the front of his chest, but couldn't have avoided the Metamagnet Divine Saber that came for his back head!
1532
1533Feng Wuji's heart throbbed in shock, he quickly grabbed his head back; but the two divine sabers have formed into two [Shaohao Bell].
1534
1535Din, din, ding…
1536
1537The two [Shaohao Bell] circumnavigated around him and struck him dizzy. Feng Wuji was just a fine line away from reaching to his decapitated head, but it slipped away from his fingers. Before he could make another attempt for it, a strong hand has already clenched on his decapitated head.
1538
1539Feng Wuji gritted his teeth, and his Yuan Shen has bolted out from the decapitated head, it entered his mortal body. Then, his mortal body turned into the Pan Ao form and plunged down the sky.
1540
1541"Escape?", Zhong Yue was clenching Feng Wuji's head in his hand, he surged his strength out and exclaimed surprisingly—he couldn't have crush the head!
1542
1543Strange, other than the divine weapons, I can practically break everything, I can even bent the Ten Malefic Weapons like ropes. But this Feng Wuji's head…
1544
1545He clenched on the saber and cleaved it down. The Solar Divine Saber separated Feng Wuji's head into half from the middle, but was stopped halfway and repelled back concomitant with a loud din.
1546
1547Something is in his psyche ocean!
1548
1549Chapter 585: The Second Offering
1550
1551
1552
1553Zhong Yue's heart shuddered, he was immediately dawned on why he couldn't have injured Feng Wuji's Yuan Shen in the battle. Initially, he still thought it was Feng Wuji that has cultivated the Yuan Shen into a strong state capable of warding down his Solar Divine Saber.
1554
1555But now, it appears to be evident that it was something inside of Feng Wuji's head that blocked his Solar Divine Saber instead of Feng Wuji himself!
1556
1557Right when Zhong Yue was about to keep the head into his Yuan Shen secret realms and pursue after Feng Wuji, a surge of psyche has vaguely reached to him from the head.
1558
1559"Is this the Zhong Shan Clan member? If you free me out of here, I can grant you inexhaustible fortunes and unparalleled strength; you can claim the Ancestral Star and be the supreme leader of all the races!"
1560
1561Zhong Yue startled, This… it sounds like Xiao Mang grand ancestor's voice!
1562
1563Meanwhile, the psyche was still alluring Zhong Yue, "Zhong Shan Clan member, have no worries. I am a man of my own words, I never go back on my promises! Xiao Wuji is nothing compared to me! As long as I appear, the Xiao Mang Celestial Race will still come back to me. Free me, and I will let you control my Xiao Mang Celestial Race, in addition to my help, your quest to conquer the Ancestral Star will be beyond guaranteed!"
1564
1565Meanwhile, Feng Wuji has already disappeared on the horizon, he was nowhere to be seen anymore. Along the way, he has cast the [Skills of Diction] and placed down seals and traps, while covering his tracks.
1566
1567Zhong Yue hesitated for a second, he stopped and turned his attention to the head.
1568
1569So Xiao Mang grand ancestor is trapped inside Feng Wuji's psyche ocean? No wonder his Yuan Shen can stop my Solar Divine Saber, Xiao Mang grand ancestor is more than capable to do that… No, no, if a seal can trap Xiao Mang grand ancestor in Feng Wuji's psyche ocean, then the seal itself is naturally able to ward down my saber.
1570
1571Rays flashed in Zhong Yue's eyes, he surged his arcane energy and psyche into Feng Wuji's psyche ocean in search of the seal that trapped Xiao Mang grand ancestor and blocked his divine sabers.
1572
1573However, just as his psyche and arcane energy entered Feng Wuji's psyche ocean, they disappeared away like a cup of water poured into the ocean.
1574
1575Zhong Yue's heart shuddered. At the instant he lost connection with his psyche and arcane energy, he managed to get a glimpse in Feng Wuji's psyche ocean.
1576
1577The whole psyche ocean was filled with golden rays; a golden barrier of incredible defense enclosed it wholly and nothing could have pass through it.
1578
1579The golden barrier was formed together by countless golden runes, it was these golden runes that trapped Xiao Mang grand ancestor within!
1580
1581Seems like Xiao Mang grand ancestor is trapped in Feng Wuji's psyche ocean, and has his power siphoned by Feng Wuji. No wonder Feng Wuji's prowess has been boosted so much in just such a short period.
1582
1583Zhong Yue was dawned, he thought, Xiao Mang grand ancestor's mortal body is destroyed, but his spirit remained. Thus, he needed a new body to possess, and Feng Wuji was the chosen one. However, Feng Wuji somehow managed to trap him in the psyche ocean, and siphon his power away. Hmph, a race of dogs. But although Feng Wuji has acquired exuberant energy from siphoning Xiao Mang grand ancestor's power, his attainments and foundation aren't strong enough to breakthrough into deityhood. That explained why he has been actively waging war, and fought with the godly spirits.
1584
1585Where after the godly spirits weren't able to bring any much pressure to him, he has came for Wei Xue god.
1586
1587Among the gods, the God of Blood, Wei Xue God was the weakest.
1588
1589Although Wei Xue God's cultivation technique was bizarre, and could hide into the void and sneak quietly around, Wei Xue God's attacks were the weakest. As long as he wasn't able to kill Feng Wuji in one strike, Feng Wuji would be able to take him as a whetstone to train himself.
1590
1591Unfortunately, not only did his plan failed, he has even lost his main head—the head where Xiao Mang grand ancestor was sealed in.
1592
1593Well then, didn't the second offerings come to me on itself?, Zhong Yue's eyes brightened up, he smiled and thought, The City of Nature is the first offering, and Xiao Mang grand ancestor is the second. I wonder how many energy has Feng Wuji taken away from this Deity Overlord godly spirit? Shouldn't be too much I suppose, Feng Wuji wouldn't be able to take in too much, most of the energy should still be stored in his psyche ocean.
1594
1595"Zhong Shan Clan member, if you free me…", Xiao Mang grand ancestor's voice could still be vaguely heard, he still haven't give up yet.
1596
1597What did Feng Wuji used to seal and suppress Xiao Mang grand ancestor in his psyche ocean? Where did he get such appalling instrument that even a Deity Overlord couldn't have broken through?
1598
1599Zhong Yue pondered deeply while ignoring Xiao Mang grand ancestor's callings, Could it be from the innate god that taught him the [Skills of Diction]? Very possible! Only such a strong existence can provide such strong means.
1600
1601Meanwhile, Xiao Mang grand ancestor was saying, "As long as you help me, I promise you the Xiao Mang Celestial Race will never eat the humans anymore. Not only that, I will also correlate with the other races to acknowledge the status of the human race to be the same as the other races. From now onward, you humans will never be our foods anymore…
1602
1603Zhong Yue raised his hand and tucked Feng Wuji's head into his Yuan Shen secret realms without the slightest intention of replying.
1604
1605"Foods? It has been a hundred years we were taken as foods? Or was it longer than that? Nevertheless, I will be sealing all of you soon, and let you all suffer what we humans have in the past!"
1606
1607The young man mumbled softly, but his voice have dispersed in the winds before anyone else could hear him.
1608
1609On the other hand, Feng Wuji have left a trail of [Skills of Diction] as he bolted away to the west. He strode through the snow mountain and reached to the ocean, then diverting to the north and entered the dark zone of the far north.
1610
1611"Lost, I've lost still."
1612
1613His mortal body was still brimmed with the exuberant life force of the Deity Overlord, his human head has been regenerated a long time ago. But his mood has darkened, the expressions on his face were blurry and he sighed a few moments later, "I have nurtured a tiger and invited calamity myself, a tiger I have been let loose in the woods. I shouldn't have enlighten him back in Swords Gate, I shouldn't have let him survive the Demon Ruins, there are too many things I shouldn't have let him be… He alone has ruined my plans more than I can count; more so, Xiao Mang grand ancestor has now fallen in his hands…"
1614
1615He was mumbling deeply, his voice colder than the temperature around and his mood turned darker than black.
1616
1617But it wasn't long before it all returned to normal, his face cleared from any emotions and his mind re-embraced peace.
1618
1619"The Zhong Shan Clan member is truly incredible, I have underestimated him for too long, but there won't be a next time anymore! That head of mine, I will one day claim it back myself! The cultivation base I have is enough to breakthrough, all I need now is the experience and insights."
1620
1621He opened the umbrella above him and blocked the fluttering snow. He strode out of the darkness while mumbling, "If I have grown afraid of him and hide in the dark, I will never be able to become a god anymore. I need to step into the light, to pull through the hardships and tribulations, to continue my training and challenge the godly spirits!"
1622
1623...
1624
1625Faraway, above the blood ocean.
1626
1627A lion with nine heads has engaged in a blood battle with Wei Xue God. The blood ocean was billowing violently, and the God of Blood was looming around the space. At one moment, he was seen shuttling inside of the blood ocean, and in the next, he would have already been sneak attacking from the back.
1628
1629No matter how hard the giant lion tried, he wasn't able to catch Wei Xue God at all.
1630
1631Shi Buyi has been giving his best, he scrutinized every spot with his nine divine eyes that were trickling with blood from overuse.
1632
1633The flaw in his [Monster God Ming King Art] was completely eradicated when Zhong Yue gave him Long Yue's eyes. Now, the flawless [Monster God Ming King Art] was even more domineering than ever!
1634
1635The eyes given to him by Long Yue were the fruits Zhong Yue has nurtured for a long time. He has even cultivated the two divine eyes, the Sun and Moon Pupils with the Pure Yang Qi and Pure Yin Qi.
1636
1637But despite so, Shi Buyi was still heavily wounded by Wei Xue God. He released a loud roar at the blood ocean, but not a single impression was left on Wei Xue God's body.
1638
1639In turn, the blood ocean has formed a bloody burner that has trapped him within.
1640
1641The blood ocean was like an evil creature, seeping into his mortal body and washed his blood essences out into the ocean; while Wei Xue God was sneaking around ambushing him from time to time, making the conditions even more severe to him.
1642
1643If this goes on any further, Shi Buyi wouldn't know if he could still survive through it. At this rate, his cultivation base would wane to a point the blood ocean could drown him into one of the many corpses that died in it!
1644
1645It'll all be settled if Zhong Yue is killed dead, but he just doesn't die!, Shi Buyi lamented in his heart. He wouldn't be able to escape if Zhong Yue was not dead. He was now much stronger than before, not even Wei Xue God could stop him if he truly wanted to leave, but he couldn't!
1646
1647If he had left, and infuriated Zhong Yue because of that, Zhong Yue might have the insect magnate eaten his Yuan Shen away!
1648
1649Hmm? That brat, he really did defeated Feng Wuji!, Shi Buyi saw Zhong Yue beheading Feng Wuji at the corner of his eye. He was surprised by Zhong Yue's prowess and overjoyed that Zhong Yue could finally come to aid him in the battle.
1650
1651If the two of them worked together, they might just be able to defeat Wei Xue God; at the least, they wouldn't be defeated!
1652
1653What is this brat doing?, Shi Buyi waited full of hope, but Zhong Yue never came. The Zhong Shan Clan young man was just standing there without any intentions of helping. He was piqued in anger and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat!
1654
1655Wei Xue God abruptly appeared in the trajectory of the blood Shi Buyi spurted out, he opened his mouth and drank it away while smirking, "How delicious! You are just half a step away from deityhood, are you? I can taste the faint flavor of the monster divinity in your blood, I promise I will slowly savor you!"
1656
1657Shi Buyi mustered his strength and pushed back against Wei Xue God, his nine heads looked over to Zhong Yue, but the young man never moved an inch at all. He spurted out another mouthful of blood which Wei Xue God drank away again.
1658
1659He was already gravely wounded, and the fury within him now added even more internal injuries in him.
1660
1661This brat! Is he planning to let me face with Wei Xue God alone until I breakthrough or die? Just how much confidence do you have in me? I am dying! Come and help quickly!
1662
1663Shi Buyi roared and pressed forward, but even when his Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons have asundered Wei Xue God into pieces, the God of Blood would still rise within the blood ocean without any injuries.
1664
1665It was true Shi Buyi did gain many attainments and insights in the battle, but Wei Xue God was just unkillable, he couldn't even inflict any injuries to the god!
1666
1667How does one even fight with this unkillable god!
1668
1669Shi Buyi's nine heads abruptly bellowed in unison, "Master, Great Master Zhong, I cannot hold any longer!"
1670
1671Zhong Yue raised his head and looked over, he gave a warm bright smile and replied, "Don't get nervous yet, I am thinking of something important, hold on for a little longer."
1672
1673A gust of wave slammed down on Shi Buyi's body and nearly tossed him off balance. Just when the giant lion was pressing against the surging wave, Wei Xue God sneaked in the waters and launched a heavy blow on his back, while disappearing right after.
1674
1675In the next second, Wei Xue God appeared to be underneath him, pulling him down into the blood ocean.
1676
1677Shi Buyi was spurting out blood incessantly, he heavily stamped his feet and bolted up form the blood ocean. He shouted, "How long do you still want to take?"
1678
1679Zhong Yue suddenly burst out in laughter, he took out the copper lamp and opened the lamp lid, "I have figured out the way to kill Wei Xue God already. Fine, since you've requested, I will help you in taking him down!"
1680
1681Chapter 586: Indomitable!
1682
1683
1684
1685"Make me surrender?"
1686
1687Wei Xue God's laughter came from all direction as the blood ocean continued surging, overwhelming the skies and crushed towards Zhong Yue. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue and Shi Buyi were separated; Zhong Yue was isolated at the bottom of the ocean while Shi Buyi was on top, preventing them from teaming up.
1688
1689And a strange thing occurred suddenly; another Wei Xue God appeared in front of Zhong Yue. He stood on the blood ocean upside down like a bat and at the same time, another Wei Xue God stood on the other side of the blood ocean and fought with Shi Buyi!
1690
1691"Zhong Yue, you are just a puny human! A little True Spirit level Qi Practitioner, how dare you ask a god to surrender? You are a joke!"
1692
1693The two Wei Xue Gods looked exactly the same and they attacked at the same time, both with different movesets and different techniques.
1694
1695Although Wei Xue God's attack was weak, but he attacked in a very weird and inexplicable way; he was able to traverse through the dimension and attacked both Zhong Yue and Shi Buyi at the same time, perfectly displayed the power of the god of Gui Shen Celestial Race!
1696
1697Zhong Yue could tell that this god that was charging towards him was not the real one but surprisingly, it possessed extraordinary power, which was very strange.
1698
1699Obviously, Wei Xue God has cultivated a very special technique which would not only make him basically impossible to be killed but also create an illusion of himself.
1700
1701The technique of Gui Shen Celestial Race is indeed very unique.
1702
1703Zhong Yue praised in his heart as he got knocked backwards by a blow delivered by Wei Xue God. However, his own strength was clearly on par with Wei Xue God as he merely got knocked backwards instead of being knocked down.
1704
1705After Zhong Yue slightly tested Wei Xue God's strength, he waved the weathered copper lamp and terrifying gravitational force emerged that started sucking the blood ocean into the lampp.
1706
1707Immediately, Wei Xue God's expression changed. He quickly plunged towards Zhong Yue who started moving around with his lamp instead of fighting back.
1708
1709As Zhong Yue moved around, the blood ocean flowed into the lamp as if the lamp had no capacity limits; no matter how much blood started raining down, the lamp will just keep on sucking them in, and bit by bit in visible speed, the blood ocean disappeared!
1710
1711Panic struck Wei Xue God, caused him to attacked Zhong Yue with all he had and the Wei Xue God that was fighting Shi Buyi also turned back and dashed towards Zhong Yue.
1712
1713Zhong Yue laughed, avoided them while he continued sucking the blood ocean dry with the lamp, turning the blood ocean into a blood lake and then a pool.
1714
1715With the size of the blood ocean decreased, the two Wei Xue Gods had not enough space to stand on and they had to squeeze together on the remaining of the blood ocean.
1716
1717What was strange was that as the amount of the blood in the blood ocean decreased, their strength also decreased.
1718
1719And the blood on their body also got thinner, their body turned transparent as if the blood on their body flowed back into the blood ocean.
1720
1721So I was right.
1722
1723Zhong Yue continued sucking the blood ocean dry with the lamp and after a few moments, the blood ocean disappeared along with the two Wei Xue Gods; they evaporated into smoke and got sucked into the lamp.
1724
1725Zhong Yue then closed the cover of the lamp and murmured, "The third sacrificial!"
1726
1727Meanwhile, the startled Shi Buyi who later on got back to Zhong Yue asked, "Where did Wei Xue God go? How did you kill him?"
1728
1729"I didn't kill him, the real Wei Xue God was the blood ocean."
1730
1731Zhong Yue shook the lantern on his hand, kept it back into his Yuan Shen Secret Realm and said, "This blood ocean is also his divine weapon, but he forged his body into the divine weapon, merged it with the blood ocean. Thus, the blood ocean is him, the divine weapon is also him. This is probably a technique of the Gui Shen Celestial Race. A Wei Xue God will emerge from the blood ocean if he wants to, killing that Wei Xue God will not work. As long as the blood ocean is still there, he will be there and he could even create another Wei Xue God."
1732
1733Upon hearing Zhong Yue's reply, Shi Buyi murmured, "No wonder he emerged from the blood ocean again after Feng Wuji crushed him. And there I thought he cultivated some kind of immortal technique….."
1734
1735Zhong Yue then retrieved a few divine herb's leaves from his secret realm, gave them to Shi Buyi and said, "Wei Xue God's attack is the weakest among the gods; it was not because that he was weak but because after turning his body into the blood ocean, we are only fighting a part of him. However, he triumphed because of the blood ocean but he also lost because of his blood ocean. After I dealt with the blood ocean, he was dealt by me as well."
1736
1737Shi Buyi took over the leaves, quickly consumed them and started treated his injuries. As he treated himself, he couldn't help but to feel grateful towards Zhong Yue for Zhong Yue not only saved him from Wei Xue God and also gave him medicines to heal.
1738
1739However, Shi Buyi suddenly realized something and he thought, No! How can I feel grateful? This damn son of a bitch controlled my life with the puny insect, made me his mount and threatened me to provoke Wei Xue God while he stood aside! Nothing he do will be able to hide his evil side! I will not be bought over that easily!"
1740
1741Meanwhile, Zhong Yue asked with concern, "How much did you gain from this battle? Could you achieve the Pure Yang Yuan Shen in one shot? If not, I could risk my life again and accompany you to challenge the other gods to help you improve!"
1742
1743Again, gratefulness rose within Shi Buyi and he quickly reminded himself again, told himself not to let his guard down.
1744
1745I am not used to this, him being so nice to me all in a sudden…, Thought Shi Buyi as he still felt unhappy but his impression on Zhong Yue changed slightly.
1746
1747"In the West Barren, there should be one more god other than Zhu Jiumu. The problem is that I don't know where is he hiding."
1748
1749Zhong Yue thought for a moment and said, "And another god ran into the Kun Lun Realm. Other than them, there is a demon god in the demon land and two insect gods. They however, were all hiding. Wei Xue God was still manageable but these other gods out there are perhaps not someone to be messed with. The hardest ones to be dealt with are probably the likes of Lord Kun, Lord Demon…"
1750
1751As soon as he thought of this, he felt something and when he looked towards somewhere far away, he bowed and greeted, "How have you been, Senior Jiumu? Thank you for your help for helping me to guard Swords Gate during my absent."
1752
1753Zhu Jiumu from the Zhu Jian Celestial Race remained the looks of an old man and when he walked towards Zhong Yue, he put up a complicated expression and said as he lamented, "I am fine, little Zhong Yue. I never thought you could come back alive and I was just repaying your debt by guarding Swords Gate. Besides, the demon god is injured badly so there was actually no need for me."
1754
1755Upon saying this, his expression turned even more complicated and said, "Little Zhong Yue, too many have died because of you. Wei Xue God did force you to go to the insect race to kill yourself but you didn't die in the end, did you? Is there a need for you to do all of these? May I request you to let him go?"
1756
1757Zhong Yue smiled and replied, "Senior Jiumu, when you advised them not to force me into a corner like that as well, did they listen to you?"
1758
1759Zhu Jiumu stunned for a moment and as soon as he understood Zhong Yue's determination, he sighed and replied, "Little Zhong Yue, I know you are a smart person. With you present, you humans will triumph as a great race on par with the celestial and demon races. As long as you are still here, the humans will remain strong. However, what do you think will happen if you insist on killing Wei Xue God now? How will the other races think?"
1760
1761Zhong Yue's heart tigthened on Zhu Jiumu's word and Zhu Jiumu continued saying, "They will think that once you grow strong enough, you will not spare the other races, thus, forcing them to team up against you! If you let Wei Xue God go now, no one will be able to stop the rise of the human race but if you insist, I'm afraid you will not walk out of West Barren alive."
1762
1763Shi Buyi immediately looked at Zhong Yue and he felt worried for him right away.
1764
1765Perhaps, whatever Zhu Jiumu said was actually a message from the other races in West Barren; obviously, the other races have been paying attention to this battle and they also knew that Zhong Yue has captivated Wei Xue God!
1766
1767Whatever Zhong Yue did so far has garnered the attention of the celestial races in West Barren; if he could capture Wei Xue God, it means that he could also swipe across the entire West Barren with relentless power!
1768
1769Thus, wouldn't it be better for them to kill him before Zhong Yue fully grown up to prevent more trouble instead of waiting him to destroy them!
1770
1771After all, Zhong Yue was still defeatable, killable right now but once he become a god, then everything would be impossible!
1772
1773The reason why Zhu Jiumu came to advise Zhong Yue to let Wei Xue God go was because he was friend with Zhong Yue.
1774
1775However, if Zhong Yue refused to listen to Zhu Jiumu, then the celestial races in West Barren will team up and kill Zhong Yue at all cost!
1776
1777At the same time, celestial rays shot up into the skies from the many celestial temples; there were also prayer voices everywhere as the celestial races were all praying to their gods!
1778
1779Upon their calls, the godly spirits and divine weapons in their celestial temples woke up from their slumber and prepared to strike at once!
1780
1781Obviously, beneath the many celestial temples were prayer rituals hosted by one after another high priests as they led their people!
1782
1783"Master Zhong Yue…." said Shi Buyi as he trembled slightly.
1784
1785He was the lord of all monsters, he deeply knew that how terrifying the situation would be if the many races in West Barren fully unveiled their power!
1786
1787Zhong Yue who also saw the celestial rays far away also remained silent.
1788
1789Zhu Jiumu coughed and said, "It is still alright if you stop now. They respect the strong so they will let you go if you stop right now. Only by staying alive will you ascend as one of the strongest in this world. You should know that the god of you humans once walked on the West Barren but he too, lost his life in the end as well…."
1790
1791Suddenly, Zhong Yue asked, "Senior Jiumu, if I am not wrong, we humans have been taken as food by these races out there for a very long time, yes?"
1792
1793Before the stunned Zhu Jiumu could react, Zhong Yue laughed and said loudly, "I will not let Wei Xue God go! I will cut down everyone you send after me! Everyone!"
1794
1795His voice gotten louder and louder and finally, his voice gotten so loud that it even shook the skies, "I will now walk on the path the god of we human race walked on! I await your arrivals!"
1796
1797Zhu Jiumu sighed and left as there was nothing he could do now.
1798
1799Far away, an almighty voice sounded and it said, "Zhong Yue, your bravery and talent is not anywhere weaker to the Swords God back then. I have to say that you have my deepest respect. That being said, I will wait for you at the Divine Battlefield!"
1800
1801Chapter 587: The Stunning Saber Ray
1802
1803
1804
1805"Master Zhong, are we really going to enter the Divine Battlefield?" Shi Buyi's face turned pallid, he rolled his eyes and whispered softly, "The godly spirits have went for the Divine Battlefield, if we leave through another route, they won't be able to stop us!"
1806
1807But Zhong Yue strode forward with a smile, "Come, Shi Buyi. You need a life threatening battle to cultivate the Pure Yang Yuan Shen, this is a golden opportunity for you! You are just a half step away from deityhood, how can you be defeated by your own fear?"
1808
1809Shi Buyi had no choice but to follow, "I'm not, but this is no different than challenging the whole of West Barren, challenging their prowess! You are still not a god, just a demigod at the most, your prowess isn't even on par with your first headmaster of Swords Gate. Is there really a need to act so rashly?"
1810
1811"West Barren? What's the big deal in challenging them?" Zhong Yue sneered coldly, "I can run, but the Great Wilderness can't. I'd rather fight my way out of the West Barren, no matter what it takes! Stepping back and conceding defeat will never earn you any respect! It can only be earned from the battles, from the blood of your enemies!"
1812
1813As the one standing beside him, Shi Buyi could feel the sky-piercing aura that burst out from the young man's body. His body was repleted with an indomitable will and a desire to kill, he felt like a sheathed saber waiting to be released, to kill!
1814
1815Once unsheathed, the saber wouldn't stop until its hunger for victory was quenched; it would slaughter whatever that stands in its way, even the gods!
1816
1817Even Shi Buyi was stunned by his domineering disposition!
1818
1819This brat is too overbearing, but still too young, he doesn't know how to hide his emotions well. Shi Buyi thought and lamented, But even a heavily sedate cultivator like me has been suppressed by this brat as his ride. How cruel, how unfortunate…
1820
1821…
1822
1823Divine Battlefield.
1824
1825The place where the first Swords Gate headmaster has walked on before. He lead the humans and brought them out of West Barren, paved the floor with the bloods of the West Barren gods and his own!
1826
1827Many gods died in the battle, their bodies rotted into bones, and some of the godly skills were still remaining after so many years.
1828
1829But even more humans died in this place. No one were born a slave, no one ever wanted to be taken as food; thus, if the human race doesn't want to be enslaved and eaten, the only way was to revolt!
1830
1831Ten thousand years ago, Swords Gate's first headmaster lead the human race and revolted out from the West Barren; ten thousand years later, Zhong Yue has stepped on this path again, fighting for the future of humanity!
1832
1833This time, he want to show to world the true strength of the human race, he want them to feel, and to fear the humans!
1834
1835The Divine Battlefield was now drastically different than the last time he was here. Back when he was here, the whole Divine Battlefield was filled with undispersed godly auras and skills; fragments of the divine weapons scattered all around, and there were many secret realms of the godly spirits floating all across.
1836
1837But now, the Divine Battlefield took a one-eighty turn—it now appeared to be incredibly solemn and saintly. Nearly all of the West Barren celestial races were here, the priests have built altars around and formed many array formations.
1838
1839Each celestial race has their own unique altar; some were a hexagonal paragon with thirteen floors, some was a tall palace with a godly spirit enshrined in it, some was a huge shrine where a divine weapon was worshipped.
1840
1841All of these altars have either enshrined and worshipped a godly spirit or divine weapon!
1842
1843And now, these godly spirits and divine weapons were awakened, suffusing the Divine Battlefield with their godly auras, even the godly skills leftover in this place were suppressed away!
1844
1845Zhong Yue and Shi Buyi reached to the edge of the Divine Battlefield, they looked over and were both dead silent.
1846
1847How many gods were there in West Barren? There were many, but only four were left now, including Wei Xue God.
1848
1849But, if one was to ask, how many godly spirits were there in West Barren? Probably not even the most knowledgeable man has an answer for this.
1850
1851There were too many celestial races in the West Barren; even though some of the races have only less than ten clansmen left, they might still have a godly spirit by their side. After all, every celestial race had a period of glory days of their own.
1852
1853Even more, some of the celestial races might have more than one godly spirit. It was way too many for one to ever calculate and come out with a statistical data of how many godly spirits were there in West Barren.
1854
1855Zhong Yue looked afar, all that came in sight was the immense auras of the godly spirits and divine weapons, one after another, paving across a land of a few tens of thousand miles, all the way up to the Lian Yun Mountain Ridge.
1856
1857No matter how would the battle ends today, some lives would die, and blood would be spewed all across!
1858
1859"Zhong Shan Clan member, leave Wei Xue God behind, and concede to your defeat. Show your respect and good will to us, and in turn, we will show you ours."
1860
1861In front of an altar, Gui Shen high priest said in a rumbling voice, "Consider it, young one. However, if you still do intend to act rashly; then, we the West Barren celestial races will not hesitate to show you what we truly are!"
1862
1863As he said, the Imminent Deity magnate glared a pair of sharp eyes at Zhong Yue.
1864
1865Zhong Yue smiled and placed his hands behind as he walked toward them, he answered, "How ridicule, I find all of you are funny like the clowns. When Xiao Wuji lead an army and annihilated some of your fellow races, including the godly spirits, none of you had stand out to stop him."
1866
1867Shi Buyi's heart skipped a beat, but had no choice but to follow closely behind Zhong Yue. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue was still saying in a disdainful manner, "When Xiao Mang grand ancestor slaughtered your West Barren gods, the only few gods who barely survived had to hide away to lick their wounds. But Xiao Mang grand ancestor was no better, his mortal body destroyed and only his spirit survived, struggling to live whilst at death's door inside of the Xiao Mang supreme temple. Yet again, none of you stood together to crusade against his sins."
1868
1869"What are you trying to say?" a Shan Shen godly spirit lowered his body from the top of the altar, his hands with eyes stared at Zhong Yue, and his voice rumbled like thunder, "What are you trying to say, human?"
1870
1871Zhong Yue pressed forward, the disdains on his face brewed stronger, and he suddenly laughed, "Thirteen gods of yours went to the insect planet, twelve were killed and only one made it back. The hatred between you and the insect race should have been irresolvable. Yet, when the insect gods arrived, none of you raised a single voice to fight back, none at all. Whereas in turn, I have merely taken down a god of yours, and all of you has risen against me. Haha, you West Barren celestial races, your West Barren godly spirits…"
1872
1873His pace grew steadier and heavier, his aura brewed stronger, and the weather darkened. The clouds turned gloomy and swirled with lightnings flashing frantically within!
1874
1875"What kind of godly spirits you are, what sort of celestial races are you qualified to be? All of you who stands right here right now, are just scums who only takes unfair advantage of your numbers, cowards who bullies the weak and fears the strong!"
1876
1877Zhong Yue strode into the Divine Battlefield and closer to the nearest altar. On the altar, there were thousands of celestial experts standing in a god-leveled array formation, it was already clashing with his aura before any physical contacts!
1878
1879Zhong Yue laughed loudly, two divine rays brimmed behind him and turned into two long sabers crossing one another, "The great and magnificent celestial races are in fact, just dregs of this unjustified world! Tell me, are you brave enough to stop me if the humans are stronger than everyone of you here?"
1880
1881"Human!", the godly spirits on the altars were angered, they shouted in unison, "Presumptuous!"
1882
1883It should have been fear and terror that would swallow his heart, but Shi Buyi felt none of those. Instead, he could feel himself burning in fire, the usual sedate composure of his has now turned into an unyielding will to battle. His laughters reverberated the sky, "Nicely said! The monster race can only seized our status now was because of our ancestors have fought their lives for it! If you don't take them down to the ground and step on their bodies today, they will never allow the human race to enjoy the same status as them!"
1884
1885Zhong Yue sneered coldly, "No, I want the human race to stand above them all!"
1886
1887"Zhong Shan Clan member, stop the nonsense!" Gui Shen high priest stamped his staff and shouted, "Come, let us send you on your way to death!"
1888
1889Zhong Yue strode toward the first altar and clashed with the god-leveled array formation in front of it. The array formation was cast to its fullest by the celestial experts, the totem patterns in it weaved together into the image of a giant god.
1890
1891The giant god bellowed and clenched his hands together. Then, the totem patterns surged over and formed a shining divine sword in his hands.
1892
1893The giant god roared again and grew another two arms, the additional arms clenched together and another divine sword was formed.
1894
1895Bang, bang, bang—
1896
1897New arms and divine swords were formed continuously, and from far, the giant god looked like a mincer!
1898
1899"Horh!" the giant god roared, and cleaved the over hundred divine swords down at Zhong Yue!
1900
1901The array formation and giant god was incredibly strong, it was a gift prepared by the West Barren celestial races to welcome Shi Buyi and Zhong Yue, and also as a show of strength!
1902
1903Zhong Yue clenched on the Solar Divine Saber and swung a wide arc toward the sky. Immediately, the Solar Divine Saber shone bright in rays and clashed with incoming divine swords!
1904
1905A wave of blinding light came within the Solar Divine Saber, it cleaved through the divine swords and slashed the giant god into half at the middle!
1906
1907The saber ray extended further, and it sliced through the array formation!
1908
1909Krong—
1910
1911A mile wide rift was created on the ground, all of the totem patterns of the array formation were shattered away and a blank zone abruptly appeared in middle of the array formation.
1912
1913Zhong Yue waved the saber and placed it back behind. He tidied his clothes and walked through the array formation from the middle, as if taking a stroll in the park.
1914
1915On the sides, the celestial experts stood unmovingly, they were slashed by the Solar Divine Saber's saber ray; and even after Zhong Yue kept the saber, they weren't injured at all.
1916
1917"Kill!' Gui Shen high priest called at the top of his voice.
1918
1919"Kill!" the celestial experts from the array formations beside shouted, and they swarmed toward Zhong Yue and Shi Buyi.
1920
1921But before they could reach to them, the celestial experts on the side of the deep rift suddenly collapsed to the ground. They didn't suffered any injuries, but their Yuan Shen were instantly killed by the Solar Divine Saber!
1922
1923"Come!" Shi Buyi shouted, his body turned larger into a nine-headed lion of a few ten thousand feet tall, and his nine heads roared in unison!
1924
1925Chapter 588: Lion Mount
1926
1927
1928
1929On the sides of the array formation, the West Barren experts rushed forward in formations. This time, the array formation formed a soaring bird instead of the giant god.
1930
1931Zhong Yue and Shi Buyi walked in the middle of the array formation, and when the totem patterns formed the soaring bird, they were covered in the godly bird's internal organs!
1932
1933The new array formation has trapped them within the godly bird, so that its strong digestive system could ground them away!
1934
1935It was the internal organs' jobs to extirpate any impurities within the body, and with them formed by the godly totem patterns, the godly bird array formation was made even more terrifying!
1936
1937Yet, Shi Buyi's nine heads released a series of loud roars that ravaged the lands around. The celestial experts were struck hard by the soundwaves, and their eardrums burst away. Right away, the god-leveled array formation was halted and impaired.
1938
1939Zhong Yue's pace was as usual and the expression on his face remained the same; while the giant lion followed closely on the back.
1940
1941Shi Buyi held the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons, and formed the Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array as he broke the godly bird array formation into halves. Hundreds of celestial experts were butchered in his Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array. Zhong Yue walked on the blood of the dead experts, not a single skill could reach to him under the Shi Buyi's protection.
1942
1943The Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array sent Zhong Yue to the edge of the first altar. The godly bird array formation was torn to the ground, and all that's left was a floor of corpses.
1944
1945On the altar, it enshrined a Gui Shen godly spirit. The Gui Shen high priest's pupils shrunk like needles and he quickly cast out his staff. The staff was made from the backbone of an unknown creature, and it has five chained skulls on the top. After the Gui Shen high priest surged his demigod arcane energy into the staff, the five skulls spun rapidly, and grew larger with strong surges of godly auras rising within—they were the skulls of gods!
1946
1947The, the five godly skulls opened their mouths wide and gnawed down at Zhong Yue.
1948
1949"Don't you dare!" Shi Buyi roared and before the skulls even got close to Zhong Yue, they were stopped by the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons, five blunt sounds of weapons clashing resounded together into a cacophonous symphony.
1950
1951Gui Shen high priest squinted his eyes and stared at Shi Buyi, he said in a rumbling voice, "Lion, you and I once had a good relation, why do you stand in my way and help the human instead? Could it be that you have bowed before him and became his mount? What a shame!"
1952
1953Shi Buyi's face blushed, he laughed in spite of anger, "Bullshit! I am a human's mount? I'm just here because I don't like you West Barren celestial races! Your shamelessness has stimulated the pains of what we the monster race had been through, that's why I am here to help the humans! Who do you think you are? For me to let go of the racial affairs because of our shallow friendship?"
1954
1955Gui Shen high priest took a step back into the void, he disappeared and hid inside of the shattered array formation. His voice came from every direction, sneering coldly as he said, "You are just his mount, there is no need to quibble anymore! When Xiao Wuji was fighting with Wei Xue God, I saw the human Zhong Shan Clan riding on you with my own eyes!"
1956
1957This old brat, he must be killed for his mouth to be sealed forever!
1958
1959Shi Buyi was immediately filled in incredible killing intent, and he lunged all out!
1960
1961His [Monster God Ming King Art] was completed by Zhong Yue, after so many days of cultivation in addition to the battle with Wei Xue God, his prowess was pushed to a whole new level than before. Not to mention that he has decided to kill the Gui Shen high priest at all cost!
1962
1963Meanwhile, Zhong Yue strode onto the altar and met with a mighty Gui Shen godly spirit hovering in the center of the altar; he could also hear faint chants of worship on the altar.
1964
1965Zhong Yue looked further behind the altar, there were many Gui Shen experts that bowed and were worshipping toward the godly spirit. Although they were a far distance away, their prayers could still be heard.
1966
1967It was the first time Zhong Yue saw millions of experts worshipping together, he was truly amazed.
1968
1969Then, he looked further away and was stunned at the scenes that came into his visions — altars scattered across the Divine Battlefield, and uncountable celestial experts were worshipping at the godly spirits and divine weapons enshrined on the altars!
1970
1971In fact, it was incredibly easy to kill the Gui Shen godly spirit on the altar, all he has to do was to slaughter the Gui Shen experts; without the worshippers and lack of power of the worshippings, the Gui Shen godly spirit would naturally fall back into his slumber, giving Zhong Yue a chance to kill him.
1972
1973However, in turn, even if Zhong Yue has killed the godly spirit, the power of worshipping would still revive him again, rendering him literally unkillable!
1974
1975But, it was beyond Zhong Yue's code of conduct to annihilate a race; Feng Wuji could do it as simple as killing an insect, but Zhong Yue has rules that he lives by.
1976
1977The West Barren celestial races were shameless, but they have yet to cross the line; naturally, Zhong Yue wouldn't have acted inhumanely as well.
1978
1979Furthermore, he wasn't here for a cold-blooded massacre, he was here to trample on the dignities of the celestial race!
1980
1981He want to bring Wei Xue God away right in the face of all the celestial races, to let them know that the human race was no sheep anymore!
1982
1983"How grand." Zhong Yue smiled, he raised his head and looked at the Gui Shen godly spirit in a smile, "Well then, let's do this!"
1984
1985Then, he shifted his gaze far behind the godly spirit and looked at the altars, he raised his voice and said, "Come on!"
1986
1987"Human Zhong Shan Clan member!" rumbling voices came from the altars, they replied in a series of loud roars, "Come!"
1988
1989Before the voices faded, the Gui Shen godly spirit lowered his body and shouted at the top of his voice. A shrill cry pounced on Zhong Yue's eardrums, like the mourns of innocent souls shrouding on his Yuan Shen!
1990
1991Inside of Zhong Yue's pysche ocean, innocent souls formed by totem patterns emerged within and the Gui Shen godly spirit has also disappeared into Zhong Yue's psyche ocean. His claws were reaching for his heart!
1992
1993Although this Gui Shen godly spirit was of the same origin as Wei Xue God, he has a different skill set than Wei Xue God; it was even more bizarre, and undefendable!
1994
1995Zhong Yue would never fear of any frontal combat, but the Gui Shen godly spirit has no mortal body for him to strike on. He has struck right in Zhong Yue's psyche, polluting Zhong Yue's psyche ocean and clash with Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen with his strong godly spirit!
1996
1997On the altar, Zhong Yue was paralyzed, he couldn't have moved at all.
1998
1999Meanwhile, faraway on the Shan Shen altar, the Shan Shen godly spirit laughed loudly while dashing over with his four arms wide open. Light rays brimmed in the eyes on his palms, and shot out four light beams at Zhong Yue!
2000
2001While at the same time, his four huge palms have followed closely behind the four light beams!
2002
2003In just an instant, Zhong Yue has plunged into a dangerous position!
2004
2005"You dare to fool around in my psyche ocean?" Zhong Yue suddenly laughed. His psyche ocean shone bright in rays as the Sui Sovereign, Sui Tree, and Fire Order Palace were visualized. Immediately, the innocent souls were vaporized into green smokes.
2006
2007Zhong Yue's Innate Golden Crow True Spirit fluttered in his psyche ocean, spanned its wings out and turned into a round sun high above.
2008
2009Sunfire billowed down from it, and cleansed the psyche ocean.
2010
2011Whereas Zhong Yue was seen sitting in the Fire Order Palace like a Heavenly Monarch. He clenched on the Sui Tree and slammed on the Gui Shen godly spirit, suppressing it down beneath!
2012
2013On the altar, Zhong Yue abruptly opened his eyes, but the four light beams have already bore through his mortal body, leaving four blood holes on him; while the Shan Shen godly spirit's palms were just slamming over!
2014
2015"Try harder!" Zhong Yue roared back. Two bright lights of saber rays flashed through the sky and severed the incoming four arms. The Shan Shen godly spirit quickly receded back, but the two saber rays have flitted over and sheared his head like a scissor.
2016
2017However, the Shan Shen godly spirit's lacerated body have turned into the spiritual energy and was reformed on the Shan Shen altar. The chants of worship have brought him back alive without any injuries!
2018
2019The godly spirit guards over the livings, and the livings were also guarding over the godly spirits' continuing existent!
2020
2021In just the blink of an eye, Zhong Yue strode to the front of the Shan Shen altar. There, the Shan Shen experts have already formed a god-leveled array formation, waiting for his arrival. In a series of loud yells, the Shan Shen array formation was activated and formed the image of a mighty Shan Shen god!
2022
2023Meanwhile, the Shan Shen spirit on the altar was seen walking down toward the array formation, if he has merged with the Shan Shen godly image, his prowess would be greatly boosted!"
2024
2025"Where's my lion mount!" Zhong Yue called.
2026
2027"Here!" Shi Buyi rushed from behind, holding on the Gui Shen high priest's head in his hand and was soaked in blood.
2028
2029Dong—
2030
2031Shi Buyi was filled with great killing intent, he tied Gui Shen high priest's head on his waist and leaped into the array formation while laughing loudly, "You want to merge together with the godly image? Dream on! Or you will have to pass through me!"
2032
2033The Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons slaughtered the Shan Shen experts in the array formation, while the soundwaves of his nine heads' roarings were superimposed together to disrupt the flow of the array formation!
2034
2035Whereas Zhong Yue took a step forward, he clenched the sabers tight and brought it down in a slashing motion, cleaved away the array formation at the middle!
2036
2037Shan Shen godly spirit's four arms barraged at Zhong Yue. The two of them were tangled in a fast-paced battle, exchanging strikes at an incredible rate.
2038
2039All of a sudden, the saber rays blinded the surrounding, and the Shan Shen godly spirit was decapitated again. Zhong Yue stomped his head into the ground, and the godly spirit dispersed away.
2040
2041But the chants of worship from the Shan Shen experts have revived the godly spirit again. When the Shan Shen godly spirit was revived, he quickly moved back. Zhong Yue struck his hand into the void, and the space behind the godly spirit was distorted. However, Zhong Yue's hand never did came out, he was gloved by the space barrier, and was only able to barely clench on the Shan Shen godly spirit.
2042
2043I still can't break through the space barrier yet, still a fine line away from the real gods. At most, my prowess is a near-maturing saint spirit, Zhong Yue thought to himself.
2044
2045Further away, there were thunders rumbling as the Lei Bird godly spirit soared into the sky from the altar. His wings fluttered and reached to the front of Zhong Yue in just a second, clawing down at Zhong Yue's head.
2046
2047"Aouh—"
2048
2049Then, the Jinshui Raging Ape Celestial Race's godly spirit drummed on his chest, he picked up a golden stick from another altar and leaped toward Zhong Yue!
2050
2051In another altar where a god's corpse was enshrined on, the godly corpse suddenly stood up and sprinted over, arming himself with two huge cymbals and slammed them toward Zhong Yue's head
