Chapter 1119: A Mistake!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Neither Jiang Yi nor Yin Ruobing knew why they were transported here the moment they crossed the Evil Spirit Ridge. They did not know either why the Mystic Thearch would set a test like this for them. However, they knew that the Mystic Thearch would not joke around with them. The restriction above their head kept flickering. It kept warning them that they would perish if they did not start killing one another.

At that moment between life and death, they could not afford to think too much. They began to move!

They did not try to kill each other. Instead, they decided to protect each other at the exact same time. Yin Ruobing took out a dagger and pressed it against her own neck. If only one person could walk out of here alive, she would sacrifice herself and let Jiang Yi live.

Jiang Yi had the exact same thoughts. He owed Yin Ruobing far too much. At a time like this, there was no need at all to think too much. He knocked Yin Ruobing unconscious and decided to kill himself. He could not use his essence force in this hall so they could only rely on their respective speeds. In the end, without a doubt, Jiang Yi attacked Yin Ruobing much faster than she could hurt herself.

Bang!

There was a low voice. The moment Jiang Yi hit Yin Ruobing in the back of her head, she fell down unconscious. At that moment before she fell over, terror filled her eyes. She looked at Jiang Yi desperately as if she knew what he was going to do.

“Ruobing, promise me you will live on…”

Jiang Yi reached out and took the small dagger from Yin Ruobing. He looked at her with affection in his eyes. He quickly set her down on the ground and kissed her on the lips. Then, he smiled faintly and closed his eyes. He started to strike his own head with the dagger as ruthlessly as he could.

Swish!

The small dagger was moving very quickly. He did not hesitate at all. With exceptional decisiveness, Jiang Yi did his best to let the girl that he loved live on. There was no room to think too much about anything else.

Only one person could live. He had to die. Yin Ruobing had to survive!

Bang!

The small dagger was exceptionally sharp. It entered Jiang Yi’s head with ease, breaking through his skull and stabbing him right in the soul. If one’s soul spirit broke down, even gods would not survive. At that moment, Jiang Yi did not even feel an ounce of pain. Instead, he felt relieved.

He was extremely exhausted. All he wanted was to get some rest.

Boom!

The restriction above his head lit up and covered Jiang Yi. A frightening suppressive force pressed down against him, causing the unconscious Yin Ruobing to be jolted awake.

“No…”

Once Yin Ruobing opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Yi covered in the white light and turning into ash. She was so shocked that her face drained of all color. From the bottom of her chest, she cried out, “Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi, no, you can’t die!”

However, the huge hall was now empty. Yin Ruobing was the only one left, and her cries were echoing back at her. Jiang Yi had been reduced to dust—not even his bones remained.

Boom!

In the other hall, the same scene happened. The ceiling flashed, and a bright white light shot down, engulfing Yi Chan. A suppressive force pressed down against them.

Zhan Tianlei and Jian Wuying were still battling to the death. When they saw the white light, both of them stopped and turned to look at Yi Chan, just in time to see her body being reduced to dust right in front of their eyes. The moment Yi Chan’s body disappeared in the white light, the two of them felt shocked to their very core. The restrictions were way too terrifying. Its powers were comparable even to a nine-star martial artist’s attacks. It was a pity that for the generation of world-class martial experts.

Yi Chan did not move from beginning to end. Her eyes remained closed, and her expression remained a mask of calm. Even until the last second, she did not even bat an eyelid. She had always been a principled woman. Since she decided not to struggle, she remained still even to her death.

“Kill!”

Zhan Tianlei and Jian Wuying paused for only a second more before they reacted again. They continued to slog out in battle. Zhan Tianlei’s body was big and strong, but Jian Wuying had a poisonous hook in his hand. It caused Zhan Tianlei to be extremely cautious. In this way, the two of them remained tied. Neither one could kill off the other.

Jian Wuying was indeed a world-class genius. He was extremely smart. Taking advantage of his own weapons, every move he made threatened to take both of them down at once. If Zhan Tianlei wanted to attack him, he would have to be cut by the hook. This hook was lined with strong poisons. Zhan Tianlei did not want to perish with Jian Wuying. Naturally, he let many chances to attack Jian Wuying slip by.

“Hahaha, Zhan Tianlei, why are you always hiding? I’m only fifteen years old. You’re already thirty. You’re double my age and a Demigod as well. Why are you so afraid of death? Are all the disciples of the Zhan Clan such cowards?”

Jian Wuying kept trying to provoke Zhan Tianlei. He wanted to cause Zhan Tianlei to be so angry that he failed to think logically and calmly. However, Zhan Tianlei remained stable. He refused to take the bait; neither did he belittle Jian Wuying on account of his young age. Any contemptuous thoughts could be life-threatening Even a lion would need to use all his strength to fight a rabbit. What’s more, Jian Wuying was a demon.

“Something isn’t right…”

Zhan Tianlei’s body turned into a phantom which hid all around the huge hall. He headed over to where Yi Chan had been seated and used his nose to sense exactly what seemed out of place. He did not smell anything burning.

If someone had really been blasted to pieces, the body would surely burn under the high temperatures. There would then be a burnt smell, just like if one was struck by lightning. However, there was no such smell in the huge hall. Instead, it seemed a bit… even if Yi Chan had really been reduced to dust, there must be dust somewhere around. Yet, there was no dust at all.

“Only one person may inherit the treasures that I have left behind. Therefore, only one of you can live on. Either you kill the others and obtain the treasure, or you get killed by the restrictions that I have put in place. You only have one road to walk down. My descendant must be ruthless in killing. This is the only way that you would be able to take control of the millions of demonic beasts and protect the human race…”

Zhan Tianlei recalled the Mystic Thearch’s words and felt increasingly like something was out of place. It seemed like nothing was wrong with what the Mystic Thearch said. He wanted to take control of demons and protect the human race! Indeed, one had to be ruthless in order to subdue the demons, but on thinking of the Mystic Thearch’s actions when he was alive, Zhan Tianlei realized there was a huge problem!

The Mystic Thearch had indeed always been ruthless. At a young and tender age, he walked all the way over from a small coninent. He had caused a lot of bloodshed along the way. He never showed mercy when dealing with demons. He alone had killed an infinite number of demons. Yet, on closer inspection of his character, one would find that he was not one to kill other humans. In fact, he had been a very kind and generous thearch when he ruled.

When the thirteen clans betrayed him, he did not deal harshly with them. Instead, he only killed off the clan heads. He sent the rest of the disciples of those thirteen clans to the Sin Island.

Demons roamed the mortal world and killed many people, and yet, in the end, he only killed those demon leaders. He sent the rest of the demons out of the East Imperial Continent. As for the demons who had escaped to the Blood Night Fearsome Sea and the Endless Deep Sea, he could have gone all out to kill them all, and yet he showed mercy.

The Nine Thearch Clans all recorded the time when the ancestors of the nine thearchs went to plead with the Mystic Thearch to deal with the root of the problem and kill off all betrayers on the Sin Island and get rid of all the demons in the Endless Deep Sea. However, the Mystic Thearch only smiled in response and said or did nothing more.

Since the Mystic Thearch was not one to kill and since he had such a kind heart, why would he cause his descendant to be a blood-thirsty martial artist? Why would he make people kill one another? Why would he set such cruel rules?

What’s more, given the Mystic Thearch’s brilliance, would he not have expected that only disciples of the Nine Thearch Clans would be able to enter the Mystic Divine Palace? Why would he cause his descendants to kill one another over treasures he left behind? Was that the Mystic Thearch’s style?

“Protect the human race? Protect the human race! Wrong… we’re all wrong! Jian Wuying, stop attacking me. We misunderstood the Mystic Thearch’s real instructions.”

Zhan Tianlei suddenly figured it all out. He shouted out in helplessness, his face a mask of pain. “The test is over. Why are you still trying to kill me! We have all failed this test. Yi Chan has passed. The Mystic Divine Palace is hers…”

“Uh?”

Jian Wuying stopped attacking Zhan Tianlei. From the latter’s eyes, he got a hint of reality. He was quite a brilliant person to begin with. Thus, he turned to scan the place where Yi Chan had been. Immediately, his face fell.

He retreated and exchanged a meaningful look with Zhan Tianlei. Shaking his head bitterly, he said, “We were wrong indeed. The real test was protecting the human race, not ruthlessness. The person who would not make a single move is the one who will pass the test…”
