Chapter 666 - Cleared In A Few Moments
Ma Sansou wanted to turn and run, but a sharp sense of danger locked onto him. If he dared to move a single inch, the saber will would slash him into halves in the blink of an eye!
He could easily foresee what would happen by then—his legs would still be running away, but the upper half of his body would already be separated from him!
The appalling saber will would mercilessly slice his Yuan Shen apart and kill him instantly!
Cold sweat burst out of his forehead and palms. Countless ways to escape from Zhong Yue came up in his mind, he never felt his mind clearer than it was now, His saber will has locked onto me, but as long as he moves, the saber will would surely flicker as well. That gives me a slight chance to escape from his saber will’s coverage!
However, to his disappointment, the saber will didn’t even change a single bit when the Blood Bone Skeleton God was nearing him.
It was as if there were really a divine saber steadily hovering right beside his throat without even flickering!
His control is far beyond my level! How is that possible? We have both cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation, how can the gap between us be so huge?
Despair slowly engulfed Ma Sansou’s heart. They had all cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation, yet, Zhong Yue was able to slay Qing Dian, Tian Xiangnv and Yu Zhun like he was attacking a bunch of babies. Even Zhong Yue’s saber will alone was able pin him down on the ground like an insect!
However, strictly speaking, it wasn’t exaggerating at all. Zhong Yue had cultivated all of the extreme states in the Qi Practitioners levels, in addition to the Sun Moon Twin Spirit that had ascended into the innate spirits and even awakened, not to mention the fact that he had already cultivated the Innate True Soul!
Although he was just a True Spirit Qi Practitioner, he had already achieved the extreme state of the Imminent Deity level—his divine sabers were already in the level of Extreme Weapons. All he was lacking was cultivation.
In the Bone Realm, he even recultivated his Yuan Shen, enhancing it to nearly twice as strong as before!
Furthermore, Zhong Yue’s attainments in the Six Paths Reincarnation were beyond the reach of Ma Sansou and the like. The coalescence of the power of Six Paths and Reincarnation that Zhong Yue alone had achieved would be beyond achievable to them.
Although Ma Sansou was able to improve his power with the help of a godly ray in the Ancient Land of God Graves, even opening the Bloodline Wheel and cultivating the Six Paths Reincarnation, he would still never be Zhong Yue’s match.
In the True Spirit level alone, he only cultivated the Chaotic Origin Mixed Spirit, he didn’t cultivate the innate spirit, didn’t awaken the true spirit, didn’t cultivate the Innate True Soul, nor were his attainments in the Six Paths Reincarnation anything to admire either.
As for Qing Dian, Tian Xiangnv and Yu Zhun, they were only as good as he was. Surely none of them would be Zhong Yue’s match at all.
Zhong Yue’s footsteps sounded out as clear as day as the distance between them continued to close. It sounded like the approach of death. He began hallucinating, his thoughts slowed to a crawl, and his heart gripped with sheer terror. He knew that if he didn’t act now, he wouldn’t survive; yet making any moves now would instantly bring death upon him.
“Have you seen these two ladies?” Zhong Yue walked to Ma Sansou’s front and asked while he visualized Jun Sixie’s and Qiu Jin’er’s image.
Ma Sansou still didn’t dare to move, his eyes looked at Jun Sixie’s and Qiu Jin’er’s image and answered in a hoarse voice, “No… wait, wait! I’ve seen them before!”
The appalling saber will around him suddenly disappeared, Ma Sansou heaved a breath of relief and panted heavily, he said, “I’ve seen them before. They are both human cultivators, one has awoken the Innate True Spirit and the other wields a zither. Their skills were both Sword Qi and sword ray oriented, very remarkable.”
Zhong Yue nodded, “Where are they now?”
“I heard that they had offended King Geng, and his subordinates are hunting for them now…” Ma Sansou suddenly felt the terrifying saber will filling the air again, and cold sweat burst out from his forehead once more.
“King Geng’s subordinates have cornered them into a lower realm, and the realm is now sealed by King Geng. I suppose they would’ve been there for nearly fifty years now, they might’ve already absorbed the spiritual energy of the lower realm and is impossible for them to leave anymore…”
“King Geng?” Zhong Yue asked indifferently, “Who is he exactly?”
“To be able to hold the title of King, he is of course closely related to the Realm Monarch. King Geng is the late Realm Monarch’s brother, and I heard that his name is Chang Geng, that’s why he is called King Geng. However, he lost in the fight for the position of the Realm Monarch, and as punishment, he was banished by to the Prison Realm. He was stripped of his power and left to die for eternity.”
Ma Sansou explained, “However, King Geng was able to blackmail the Hell judges and reincarnated himself in the Heaven Realm with a top-grade talented body. After this, he returned to the Prison Realm. He has come back even stronger in this life, succeed in cultivating all of the extreme states and reached to the peak of his peers. Furthermore, he still has a wide sphere of influence within the Heaven Realm. I heard that even Heavenly King Shang is one of his friends!”
“Anything else?” Zhong Yue asked.
“The Realm Monarch stripped him off from his past life’s achievements and plundered every treasure from him. However, rumors said that he had seen it coming and so had prepared a few hidden vaults for his next life, one for each cultivation level.”
Ma Sansou grew envious as he said, “That’s why he was always the strongest in the same cultivation level. He was also the only one who was able to reverse open six wheels in one go! Furthermore, he had awoken the Innate True Spirit and gathered countless talents under his command. In the Ancient Land of God Graves alone, there are more than a thousand Qi Practitioners willing to die for him. Some of them are even on par with us, young and proud yet willing to bow before him. He is young, nowhere close to fifty years old. He must be one of those to represent the Prison Realm, and the strongest of them all!”
Zhong Yue kept mum.
The late Realm Monarch’s brother, one who clashed straight on with the current Realm Monarch for superiority. Backed with strong and terrifying faction, reincarnated as the strongest and most talented cultivator, showered with the best treasure and followed by countless experts. King Geng was undoubtedly the most appalling opponent ever!
Zhong Yue dispersed his saber will and said, “Bring me to the lower realm the ladies are sealed in.”
Ma Sansou shuddered in cold, he said, “That is under King Geng’s territory, should we intrude recklessly…”
The Prison Realm Qi Practitioners have entered the Ancient Land of God Graves for more than eight years. In these eight years, countless Qi Practitioners were killed while many others found treasures that helped them improve their strengths.
Among which, those that were powerful enough would have seized a territory of their own. Whereas those like King Geng with many followers would have more than one territory.
“You have two choices; One, bring me there…”
Before Zhong Yue even finished, Ma Sansou quickly answered, “I’ll take the first choice!”
Ma Sansou led the way in the front while he mumbled in his heart, It seems like this Blood Bone Evil God knows the two ladies? If that’s the case, he shouldn’t be a lower realm living being but someone like us from the Prison Realm as well…
Ma Sansou wasn’t stupid after all, those who could survive the Prison Realm wouldn’t be dumb at all.
If he is someone like us from the Prison Realm, the only explanation to this would be that he was teleported into the lower realm when we first came into the Ancient Land of God Graves. That’s how he turned into a living being from the lower realm. The flow of time in the lower realms is different that the Ancient Land of God Graves, which means, he used less than a hundred years to break free from the lower realm. Such talent…
He knew very well how terrifying it was be to be teleported into the lower realms. Even a Realm Lord wouldn’t be able to break free from the lower realms and could only die of age in there. Yet, Zhong Yue used only a hundred years to escape from such a doomed place, it proves of his talent!
All of a sudden, Zhong Yue stopped and he said, “I need a second.”
Ma Sansou quickly stopped, while after a few moments of waiting, a burst of loud laughter came from afar saying, “Blood Bone Evil God, I am Gang…”
Zhong Yue casually cast the Solar Divine Saber out and swung it toward the incomer. Blood then rained from the sky, and a corpse tumbled to the ground. Zhong Yue said placidly, “Let’s go.”
“That…” Ma Sansou was completely in shock, he recognizes the incomer. He was Gang Shan, the strongest representative of the Tian Hou Galaxy. Even Ma Sansou wouldn’t be able to defeat him. Yet Gang Shan was already killed on the spot before he could even finish his sentence!
Who is this Blood Bone Evil God? With his strength, he must have been a notable expert in the Prison Realm, at least one of the top tens. But that doesn’t make sense, all the notable figures of the Prison Realm didn’t disappear at all…
Ma Sansou was contemplating the matter in his heart while he led the way. Along the way, there were many experts that had come for the Blood Bone Evil God, but they were all finished by a single swing of Zhong Yue’s saber. A few were able to withstand the first strike only to be promptly killed with the second.
Just who he is? Finally, they’ve arrived at King Geng’s territory. Zhong Yue looked around and saw over a hundred Qi Practitioners cultivating inside a grand palace.
“This is a territory that took the lives of sixty King Geng’s men to finish building it. There were many Qi Practitioners here fighting for it, including some of the strongest experts. But none were able to defeat King Geng.”
Ma Sansou said cautiously, “The two ladies you were looking for are here as well. They stole a treasure from King Geng and King Geng’s followers forced them to hand it out. They didn’t comply and as a result, they were forced into a lower realm somewhere in here. Senior martial brother, I’ve already brought you here, can I leave now?”
Zhong Yue shook his head, his psyche rumbled in Ma Sansou’s mind, “How do I know if you are lying to me? You will follow me in.”
Ma Sansou lamented, “Over a hundred Qi Practitioners striking at the same time together can easily smite me into a pile of bone ashes!”
Zhong Yue thought about it and replied, “Then wait for me here. When I summon you, you will come to me. Don’t try to run, as although the Ancient Land of God Graves is huge, I can still find you whenever I need to. Even when you are dead, I still have ways to drag you out from Hell.”
Ma Sansou shuddered in cold, he stood on the side and watched as Zhong Yue walked into the palace.
Krong—
The palace door broke apart and sounds of weapons clashing came within the palace. Ma Sansou looked into the palace from far and saw many skills lashing in the palace.
After a few moments, the sounds of battle halted, and it all went dead quiet.
Then, Zhong Yue’s psyche came sounding in his mind, “It’s safe now, you can come in.”
Ma Sansou braced himself and walked into the palace. The first thing that came into his eyes was a pair of legs trying to run away from the palace!
And behind those legs was the upper half of its body falling down from mid-air.
Ma Sansou’s scalp tingled as he saw one of the Qi Practitioners dying in the exact same way he had envision his own death not long ago.
As he walked into the palace, his heart gripped with fear even further. Corpses lay splattered all over the place. Other than him and Zhong Yue, there was no one else alive!
King Geng’s territory was cleared in just a few moments, with not a single Qi Practitioner remaining alive!
