Chapter 584 - The Second Offering
Zhong Yue’s heart shuddered as he realized why he couldn’t injure Feng Wuji’s Yuan Shen in the battle. Initially, he thought that Feng Wuji had cultivated his Yuan Shen to the state of being able to defend against his Solar Divine Saber.
But now, it appeared to be evident that it was something inside of Feng Wuji’s head that was blocking his Solar Divine Saber instead!
Right when Zhong Yue was about to keep the head into his Yuan Shen secret realms and chase after Feng Wuji, he heard a voice in his head.
“Are you the boy from the Zhong Shan Clan? 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!”
Zhong Yue startled, This… it sounds like the Xiao Mang grand ancestor’s voice!
Meanwhile, the psyche was still trying to temptt Zhong Yue, “Zhong Yue, have no worries. I am a man of my own word! Xiao Wuji is nothing compared to me! As long as I appear, the Xiao Mang Celestial Race will 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!”
Meanwhile, Feng Wuji had already disappeared on the horizon. Along the way, he cast the【Skills of Diction】and placed down seals and traps while covering his tracks.
Zhong Yue hesitated for a second, he stopped and turned his attention to the head.
So the Xiao Mang grand ancestor is trapped inside of Feng Wuji’s psyche ocean? No wonder his Yuan Shen can stop my Solar Divine Saber, the Xiao Mang grand ancestor is more than capable of doing that… No, no, if a seal can trap the Xiao Mang grand ancestor in Feng Wuji’s psyche ocean, then the seal itself is naturally able to ward down my saber.
Rays 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.
However, 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.
Zhong Yue’s heart shuddered. At the instant he lost connection with his psyche and arcane energy, he managed to get a glimpse of Feng Wuji’s psyche ocean.
The whole psyche ocean was filled with golden rays; a golden barrier of incredible defense enclosed the whole psyche ocean, nothing could pass through it.
The golden barrier was formed by countless golden runes, it was these golden runes that trapped Xiao Mang grand ancestor within!
Seems like Xiao Mang grand ancestor is trapped in Feng Wuji’s psyche ocean, and is having his power siphoned by Feng Wuji. No wonder Feng Wuji’s prowess seems to have become so much stronger in such a short amount of time.
Zhong 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 an incredible amount of energy from the Xiao Mang grand ancestor, his attainments and foundation isn’t strong enough to break through to deityhood. That explains why he has been actively waging war and fighting with godly spirits.
And since the godly spirits weren’t able to bring any much pressure to him, he came for Wei Xue god.
Among the gods, the God of Blood, Wei Xue God was the weakest.
Wei Xue God’s cultivation technique was bizarre and was most suited for stealth, but its attacks were the weakest. As long as he wasn’t able to kill Feng Wuji in one strike, Feng Wuji would be able to use him as a whetstone to train himself.
Unfortunately, not only did his plan fail, he had even lost his main head—the head where the Xiao Mang grand ancestor was sealed.
Well 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 the Xiao Mang grand ancestor is the second. I wonder how much energy Feng Wuji has 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.
“Zhong Yue, if you free me…" Xiao Mang grand ancestor’s voice could still be vaguely heard, he still haven’t give up yet.
What did Feng Wuji use to seal the Xiao Mang grand ancestor in his psyche ocean? Where did he get such methods that even a Deity Overlord couldn’t break through?
Zhong 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.
Meanwhile, Xiao Mang grand ancestor was saying, “As long as you help me, I promise you the Xiao Mang Celestial Race will never eat humans anymore. Not only that, but I will also force the other races to acknowledge the status of the human race as the same as the other races. From now onward, you humans will never be food anymore…
Zhong Yue raised his hand and tucked Feng Wuji’s head into his Yuan Shen secret realms without the slightest intention of replying.
“Food? 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!”
The young man mumbled softly, but his voice dispersed in the winds before anyone else could hear him.
On the other hand, Feng Wuji left a trail of【Skills of Diction】as he bolted away to the west. He strode through the snow mountain and reached the ocean before changing directions to the north and entering the dark zone of the far north.
“Lost, I still lost.”
His mortal body was still brimming with the exuberant life force of a Deity Overlord, his human head had regenerated a long time ago. But his mood darkened, the expressions on his face were blurry and he sighed a few moments later, “I have nurtured a tiger and invited a calamity on myself, a tiger I have let loose in the woods. I shouldn’t have enlightened him back in Swords Gate, I shouldn’t have let him survived the Demon Ruins, there are too many things I shouldn’t have let him do… He alone has ruined my plans more times than I can count; moreover, the Xiao Mang grand ancestor has now fallen into his hands…”
He was mumbling deeply, his voice colder than the temperature around and his mood turned darker than black.
But it wasn’t long before it all returned to normal, his face was cleared of any emotions and his mind re-embraced peace.
“Zhong Yue 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 are the experience and insights.”
He 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!”
……
Faraway, above the blood ocean.
A lion with nine heads was engaged in a bloody 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 be sneaking an attack from the back.
No matter how hard the giant lion tried, he wasn’t able to catch Wei Xue God at all.
Shi Buyi had given it his best shot, he had scrutinized every spot with his nine divine eyes that were trickling with blood from overuse.
The 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!
The eyes given to him by Long Yue were the fruits that Zhong Yue had nurtured for a long time. He had even cultivated the two divine eyes, the Sun and Moon Pupils with the Pure Yang Qi and Pure Yin Qi.
But 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.
In turn, the blood ocean has formed a bloody burner that has trapped him within.
The 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.
If this went on any further, Shi Buyi wouldn’t know if he could still survive through it. At this rate, his cultivation base would wane to the point of the blood ocean drowning him!
It’ll all be settled if Zhong Yue is killed, 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!
If he had left, and infuriated Zhong Yue because of that, Zhong Yue might have the insect magnate eat his Yuan Shen away!
Hmm? That brat, he really did defeat 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.
If the two of them worked together, they might just be able to defeat Wei Xue God; at the least, they wouldn’t be defeated!
What is this brat doing? Shi Buyi was waiting expectantly, but Zhong Yue never came. Shi Buyi became incensed, coughing out a mouthful of blood as he saw Zhong Yue just standing there without any intention of helping.
Wei 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 god in your blood, I promise I will slowly savor you!”
Shi 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.
He was already gravely wounded, and the fury within him now added even more internal injuries in him.
This 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!
Shi Buyi roared and pressed forward, but even when his Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons tore Wei Xue God into pieces, the God of Blood would still rise within the blood ocean without any injuries.
It was that true Shi Buyi did have many attainments and insights in battle, but Wei Xue God was just unkillable, he couldn’t even inflict any injuries to the god!
How does one even fight with this unkillable god!
Shi Buyi’s nine heads abruptly bellowed in unison, “Master, Great Master Zhong, I cannot hold any longer!”
Zhong 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.”
A 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.
In the next second, Wei Xue God appeared to be underneath him, pulling him down into the blood ocean.
Shi 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?”
Zhong Yue suddenly burst out with 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 requested, I will help you in taking him down!”
