  Chapter 451: Reaping Livesz |

  “This divine herb is really incredible.”

  A True Spirit magnate was staring at Husan Weng and said softly to himself, “If I can get him for myself, I will be closer to acquiring the Peaches of Immortality!”

  The other Qi Practitioners, whether it be the celestials or demons, realized it as well. They looked closely at Husan Weng, and Zhong Yue began to feel the heat of their gazes that were filled with killing intent. After all, if they wanted to get to Husan Weng, they would have to first remove him out of the equation!

  It’s not so good to be too outstanding, I guess the same applies to divine herbs. Husan Weng is too conspicuous a divine herb.

  Zhong Yue then immediately took another route, he didn’t stop for a single second and tried tread past the imperial warship from the side. Tens of Qi Practitioners also changed their course as they tried to intercept Zhong Yue. And among these Qi Practitioners was a True Spirit magnate!

  The number of True Spirit magnates in Kun Lun and A’thoer would surely be more than the Ancestral Star. After all, the Ancestral Star didn’t have such a complete and strong cultivation heritage like the other two.

  Zhong Yue kept silent, his divine eye shone on the path as he increased his speed.

  Suddenly, a demon Qi Practitioner turned into a plume of smoke that blew across the water’s surface like a snake right at Zhong Yue.

  But before the demon smoke could get close to him, Zhong Yue shot out two bright rays and the Yin Yang Qi flashed toward the demon smoke like two soaring dragons. They swirled around the demon smoke and strangled it.

  A cry of pain then came from within the demon smoke, and a head fell into the waters. The demon Qi Practitioner was dead!

  Zhong Yue then kept the Yin Yang Qi and grabbed Husan Weng. He tucked the divine carrot into his Yuan Shen secret realms and raised his speed. Meanwhile, two Kun Lun celestial Qi Practitioners lunged over. The two of them were very cautious as they avoided contact with the water and leaped from one bulging rock to the other. They each had a divine weapon that they cast out and slashed at Zhong Yue.

  Zhong Yue still did not say a word. He waited until the two celestial Qi Practitioners leaped into the air, and suddenly, the Kui Long Divine Drum flew out.

  Dong——

  A loud sonic blast struck the two Qi Practitioners head on. They lost their balance and fell into the waters. Pained cries sounded out from the swamp as the two Qi Practitioners along with their divine weapons were quickly dissolved by the water!

  Zhong Yue moved without losing speed, and another four demon Qi Practitioners stood in his path. The pathway was narrow, and only one person was able to go through at a time, and those four Qi Practitioners stood in a line. Their eyes brimmed with killing intent.

  Wong——

  Buzzing sound could then be heard as Zhong Yue surged out all six light wheels, his blood essence suddenly increased tenfold, and he clenched on the golden sword while dashing forward!

  A burst of aura filled the air and attracted the attention of all the Qi Practitioners around. They saw a young man with six light wheels revolving behind him, looking like a god as he wielded the golden sword like extensions of his own arms. A large wave of sword rays and Sword Qi exploded out like a peacock spreading its tail. It was a marvelous and magnificent sight, but the Qi Practitioners’ hearts were in shock!

  “Six light wheels… that means six secret realms! He’s opened the sixth secret realm! Careful!”

  Suddenly, the sword rays and Sword Qi disappeared. The four demon Qi Practitioners standing on Zhong Yue’s path were shattered into little pieces and burst out in all domains. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue himself shot past the demon Qi Practitioners’ shattered parts and soaked himself in their blood!

  He shuddered his body and the demon blood then shook off from his body like rain, with not a single drop of blood staining his body.

  “What a strong guy!”

  In the swamp, the Qi Practitioners held a solemn face. Zhong Yue’s burst of prowess with the emergence of six secret realms was incredible. Four experts were killed just like that!

  “Six secret realms…” Shang Qing was also in the swamp. He was staring at Zhong Yue’s six light wheels with raised brows.

  All this while, Zhong Yue had only shown him five secret realms, misleading him into thinking that Zhong Yue was just like any other Qi Practitioners that only had five secret realms. Who would knew that Zhong Yue actually had six secret realms!

  The sixth wheel, the Bloodline Wheel, Bloodline Secret Realm can greatly boost one’s blood essence, connecting the blood essences of the Yuan Shen and mortal body together. It can elevate one’s prowess to a whole new level!

  Shang Qing stared at Zhong Yue and murmured, “Princess Chi Xue has also opened the six secret realms. Mother has asked me to eliminate, but I can’t make any rash moves without knowing the limits of her strength. Opening the sixth secret realm or reverse opening the five secret realms... which is stronger? This time, I might be able to get an answer to my question…”

  Zhong Yue moved at a ghostly speed, and just as he was about to cross the warship through the front of it, he suddenly stopped.

  In front of him was a True Spirit magnate that had cut off his path.

  Zhong Yue’s heart then sank, the Kun Lun magnate that he was specifically avoiding was the one that stood before him.

  Zhong Yue’s speed was so fast because he wanted to avoid this situation since he didn’t have the strength to contend against magnates yet.

  “I’m actually more interested in you than the divine herb.” The True Spirit magnate Qi Lianfeng placed his hands behind his back as he looked at Zhong Yue. He praised, “You’ve managed to go from all the way back there to here without a single bit of assistance from that carrot and without triggering any traps. Your divine eye must be quite extraordinary. That carrot knows the terrain, and you can see through its dangers. The two of you are both treasures to me, I will have you!”

  Zhong Yue’s face was solemn as he said, “Senior, you might die from your words, do you know that?”

  Qi Lianfeng laughed out loud, and he answered calmly, “You are the first to dare to speak like that to me. It’s good for the little ones to have some gall, but arrogance is another matter. Arrogance disgusts me, but mark my words, I have plenty of time to train you. From now on, you will follow me, you will be my slave, and when I transcend to a god in the future, you will be a great god’s slave. Don’t worry, I will treat you better than anyone else will, but if you dare to even defy me, then I might as well just kill you. With this carrot, I can still find the Peaches of Immortality as well.”

  Zhong Yue then let out a shout, and his six light wheels revolved rapidly as his blood essence intensified by a few folds. Krong—— a loud boom rang out as he turned into his Fuxi True Form and slashed his sword forward.

  “Big!”

  The Golden Peng Sword then became 1000-feet long and slashed down at Qi Lianfeng. The True Spirit magnate gave a cold sneer, and his body turned 10,000-feet tall, and he looked down from the top at Zhong Yue who appeared to be like an ant in his eyes. A golden staff appeared in his hands, and he tapped it on the slashing golden sword. He then sneered and said, “What a naughty shit, I will grant you your death wish then… Hm?”

  His golden staff was a divine weapon, it tapped on the Golden Peng Sword and had struck it into the swamp, causing Zhong Yue’s right arm to explode. Flesh burst out from Zhong Yue’s right arm, and blood sprinkled everywhere, leaving him with only his naked bones.

  At the same time, Zhong Yue flipped into mid-air and cast out the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】, striking the【Celestial Demon Yi】at Qi Lianfeng’s chest.

  A wound appeared on Qi Lianfeng’s chest, and he was pushed a few steps back. Totem pattern chains then emerged in front of Qi Lianfeng’s body before lashing out and curling around Zhong Yue’s body. Qi Lianfeng was a powerful magnate; he didn’t even need to visua
lize the skills and could cast them with just a thought.

  Although he was struck by Zhong Yue, the skills have been cast out to ward off the strike just as he thought about defending. Thus, the wound was not anywhere close to serious.

  In addition to the stark comparison between Qi Lianfeng’s 10,000-feet tall body and Zhong Yue’s 16 feet tall body, the wound created on his chest was nothing more than a wound created by an ant.

  Meanwhile, right when Qi Lianfeng cast out his skills. Zhong Yue bowed and cast the second skill of his【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】— the【Million Gods Worshippings】. It broke right through Qi Lianfeng’s defensive skill and sent the True Spirit magnate flying back, causing Qi Lianfeng a great embarrassment.

  But the True Spirit magnate was so strong that even though Zhong Yue was able to push Qi Lianfeng back, his left arm was still reduced into bones as well. The Golden Peng Sword then flew up and fell into Zhong Yue’s hands again.

  Zhong Yue clenched the golden sword with his skeletal hands, slashing down heavily with all his might!

  Qi Lianfeng let out a fierce cry, and he swung the golden stick and raised it above his head.

  Dang——

  A loud clanking noise ravaged their ears and rippled the water surface. The shockwave pushed Zhong Yue into the sky and sent him flying away. His arms’ bones were crushed into dust, and even the Golden Peng Sword was struck away.

  “Damn you, scum!”

  Qi Liangfeng was pushed backward into the warship, his heart thumped to the top of his throat and quickly rushed out from the warship. In just these few seconds, his hairs had already turned greyish-white, and 500 years of his life seemed to flash past just like that!

  Half a millennium of time had just slipped away from him, Qi Lianfeng spurted out a mouthful of blood in anger as he furiously glared at Zhong Yue. The last strike they exchanged had crushed Zhong Yue’s arms, sending him falling into the swamp tens of miles.

  “This brat is dead for sure, what a pity that that carrot will have to die with him.”

  Qi Lianfeng was furious and anxious as well. Zhong Yue was too far away for him to reach in time, and he could only watch as Zhong Yue fell into the swamp.

  Suddenly, the Golden Peng Sword flew over, and Zhong Yue shouted in mid-air, “Big! Big! Big!”

  The golden sword enlarged into a 30,000-foot broadsword and lay above the swamp. Zhong Yue fell onto the sword body of the Golden Peng Sword, and he dashed out like a flash of lightning away from the swamp.

  Right at this moment, a loud roar came from the swamp, and a huge head burst out from the water’s surface. It was a god with broken flesh still dangling from parts of its body and a nauseating stench.

  The godly corpse opened its mouth wide and sucked Zhong Yue into it. Zhong Yue then dipped his toe in the air and barely leaped out from the huge mouth, falling outside of the swamp.

  The godly corpse then gnawed on the Golden Peng Sword and locked it in its mouth.

  “Small! Small! Small!” Zhong Yue shouted, and the golden sword shrunk. It then pierced through the god’s rotten meat before flying back into Zhong Yue’s light wheels.

  Zhong Yue then quickly escaped, bones extruded out from his shoulders and the fleshbegan to swiftly regenerate. A few moments later, two new arms then grew in place of his broken and mangled ones.

  Qi Lianfeng was stunned at the scene. Zhong Yue’s reaction speed was too quick; from recalling the golden sword to save himself, to escaping from the god’s mouth and keeping back the golden sword. Everything was done with utmost composure and without an ounce of hesitation. His poise and decisiveness was something he had never seen before in someone that young!

  Shang Qing’s face turned incredibly solemn, and his heart pounded as he thought, He is strong! The strongest opponent I’ve ever met until now!

  Zhong Yue then stopped as soon as he reached safety, he turned and looked at Qi Lianfeng, raising his hand up and pointed a finger at the True Spirit magnate. His voice could then be heard shouting, “Senior, the next time we meet, I will kill you on the spot! Mark my words!”

  Chapter 452: Sinister Motives |

  Qi Lianfeng gave a cold sneer, and he strode toward Zhong Yue while saying frigidly, “Why do you need to wait? I will just kill you now.”

  Zhong Yue laughed, he moved like a bird in the sky across the swamp, and it wasn’t long before he lost Qi Lianfeng. After all, Zhong Yue had the divine third eye, and he could clearly perceive the dangers around him.

  On the other hand, Qi Lianfeng needed to look at the map and probe the geographical changes for any danger before he made a move. Surely, his speed would be much slower than Zhong Yue’s.

  This True Spirit expert is a little stronger than the Kun Peng brothers, but not by much either.

  Zhong Yue was moving quickly as he thought, Peng Jinyi has a lot of arcane energy, but his skills are weaker than Qi Lianfeng’s. Even if I can utilize the force of heaven and earth, I can still match with the True Spirit magnates. I need to cultivate both the Inner Core and Heavenly Dharma levels to the extremity before I can compete with them.

  Kun Lun had truly opened his eyes, he had learned much from the young gods and had a clear look on his weaknesses; this was a great experience that could greatly assist him in his cultivation.

  Now, he had a clear view on his cultivation path; he now knew what he needed to strive for to advance rather than just blindly cultivate for the sake of it.

  However, even if he were to cultivate both levels to the extremity, it was still incredibly hard to win against True Spirit magnates, let alone kill them.

  The damage on the Golden Peng Sword is really severe.

  Zhong Yue swung Qi Lianfeng away, and as he inspected the golden sword, he couldn’t help but frown. As the golden sword gnawed on the godly corpse, a huge part of the totem patterns on it were destroyed, causing its prowess to be heavily impaired. It wasn’t hard then for Zhong Yue to deduce the prowess of the godly corpse to be even stronger than the Kun Peng grand ancestor, Lord Kun.

  Even after its death, the god’s corpse was still harder than the Golden Peng Sword.

  The golden sword was heavily damaged, and without this sword, Zhong Yue’s overall strength was at least 30 percent weaker than before.

  Thankfully, the Divine Wing Saber is still here, I wonder if this half of the Divine Wing Saber can still restore the golden sword.

  Zhong Yue took out the copper lamp and sent the Golden Peng Sword into it to unite it with the Divine Swing Saber. Right at the moment that the golden sword returned to the divine weapon, the totem patterns then started to recover, and the broken parts began to reform.

  Although the Heaven River Swamp was vast, there was still an end to it.

  After four days, Zhong Yue finally made it out of the Heaven River Swamp. He released the carrot so it could lead the way. Husan Weng looked at the surroundings and its body shuddered, it said, “We are now at the Heaven Garden. This is like the backyard of the imperial court, not far from the Immortality Peaches Tree. However, there is one thing we need to be careful of. There is a huge palm mark in the middle of the Heaven Garden, and it is definitely a forbidden place. But that is where the Immortality Peaches Tree is.”

  A huge palm mark?

  A cold chill traveled down Zhong Yue’s spine as he thought about the image he saw when he opened the Bloodline Wheel. The murder of the Six Paths Giant, the destruction of the Six Paths Reincarnation, the deaths of countless gods, and that evil existence’s strike on the imperial court.

  Could that strike from the evil existence be right in the Heaven Garden? If that is so, then wouldn’t it make the garden the epicenter of the curse?

  Zhong Yue’s heart stiffened up. Whoever that evil existence was, the destruction of the first Six Paths World was undoubtedly aimed against the Fuxi Celestial Race. It had cursed the Fuxi’s blood, and with Zhong Yue now having almost 20 percent of his Fuxi blood recovered; perhaps there was a chance he would trigger the curse.r />
  That evil existence has sacrificed the lives of a whole galaxy to lay down a curse on the Fuxi Celestial Race, and the source of the curse comes from the palm mark.

  Zhong Yue frowned, that mark lied in the Heaven garden, and it would most probably be the source of all changes that occurred in the Returning Ruins.

  Would he, someone that could be considered as half a Fuxi, trigger the curse?

  That curse is a bloodline curse, that condemned the Fuxi Celestial race to be sealed for eternity. That being said, it shouldn’t threaten my life, right? But it did destroy the Six Paths Reincarnation, I can’t let my guard down…

  Zhong Yue recollected his thoughts, and he walked into the Heaven Garden with Husan Weng leading the way. The huge carrot then put up a very reluctant smile and said, “We have to be careful here, there are more divine herbs than you can count here. These divine herbs breathe and absorb the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth every single second. Thus, they are much stronger than those divine herbs out there. Moreover, they are more than happy to sample some more exotic food… if you know what I mean.”

  It then stopped for a split second before it continued, “Also, I’ve heard that there are some real strong dudes still living here, they are… I don’t really know, half alive and half dead? But whatever they are, they are also eyeing on the divine herbs…”

  Suddenly, there were over twenty Qi Practitioners walking out from the hill in front of them. They were all experts among experts; there were even two True Spirit magnates within their ranks.

  Chi Xue.

  Zhong Yue was surprised to see the figure of a familiar lady in his sights. Beside Chi Xue, there was also a young lady that he knew, Ying Nu.

  Among the crowd of Qi Practitioners, there were a few young ladies from the Western Mother Celestial Race, and the others were experts of the Phoenix race. These Phoenix race squad consisted of experts from either gender, and they stood around the young ladies of Western Mother Celestial Race, acting as escorts that guarded them in the middle.
