World of Cultivation - Volume 06 - All Hail Our King

by Fang Xiang

  Zuo Mo's figure flew towards Marshal Yu.

  Zuo Mo immediately panicked.

  At this time, a serene singing voice seemed to come from the unseen ground.

  "Why is life a joy, why is death a sorrow, two hearts separated by yin and yang, bound together by a chain!"

  Countless sword lights blossomed. In a flash, there was a sea of them. They seemed to materialize out of nowhere. They budded, bloomed, and then withered at a stunning rate.

  A beautiful and cool figure stood like a sword in the sea of flowers.

  ———

  When Zuo Mo saw the newcomer, he was startled. And then he reacted, it was Wo Li, Luo Li Shidi's sword spirit!

  Had Luo Li Shidi woken up?

  In this moment, Zuo Mo was filled with joy!

  Luo Li's awakening meant that he had comprehended the [Life-Death Lock]!

  In the sea of flowers, Wu Li's figure was as cool as a sword but that added to her charisma.

  Where was Luo Li Shidi?

  Zuo Mo could not see Luo Li anywhere and was slightly puzzled. But then he started to panic. Even if Luo LI Shidi had comprehended the [Life-Death Lock], he definitely was not a match for Marshal Yu.

  Damn it!

  He was going to suffer great losses in business this time!

  Zuo Mo did not have any of the fighting spirit he had previously. He wanted to gather his power to tell Luo Li Shidi to run. But his body did not move. It was completely out of his control and he couldn't make a sound.

  Marshal Yu was slightly shocked. "You have some skill."

  These beautiful flowers were made from countless sword essences. Layered together, it was like a beautiful sea of flowers.

  Flower Sea Sword Domain?

  He smiled dismissively. Inside, he pondered the origins of this Xiao Mo Ge. The his subordinates were astounding. But then he realized a thought. Xiao Mo Ge was in his hands. If he did not willingly submit, then he could set a jinzhi in the other. Marshal Yu did not fear that Xiao Mo Ge would rebel.

  As to these powerful subordinates of Xiao Mo Ge, they would naturally now belong to him.

  When he thought of this, his mood became even better. The sword essence sea in front of him became even more joyful to look at.

  Wo Li floated in the middle of the sword sea and looked at Marshal Yu with a cool and clear gaze.

  She suddenly closed her eyes and her lips moved. "Life-Death Lock Separation Sword!"

  Marshal Yu's heart jumped and a feeling of danger rose.

  Pia, a flower suddenly shattered. As the petals fell, a tiny red chain was pulled out of the flower and each of the petals and lengthened.

  The sea of flowers shattered.

  The red chains criss-crossed and layered over one another. In a flash, countless red chains of varying thickness winded back and forth like a sea of red snakes.

  The red chains shot at Marshal Yu at a stunning speed.

  What was strangest was that these chains were completely made from sword essence! And this strange sword essence that was not living or dead, nor yin or yang. Even Marshal Yu who had seen many things had never seen such a strange sword essence before!

  What sword essence was this?

  The underestimation and dismissal that Marshal Yu held before was swept away. His expression became grave.

  This sword essence was extremely strange. He had a strong feeling if he came into contact with these sword essences, the outcome would not be good. He could not say why this was. This presence that was not living nor dead, and between yin and yang was a strange existence that seemed to waver between life and death.

  He detected danger.

  Translator Ramblings: I think Zuo Mo has too many things inside his body right now … … Pu Yao, Wei, the Sun Crystal Seed, the threads … …

  Chapter 646: Chained Together

  It really was strange!

  How long had it been since he had felt danger?

  Danger, ever since he stepped into marshal level, this word seemed to be unconnected to him. When the presence of danger came at him, even he blanked for a moment.

  However, Marshal Yu quickly reacted. With a high hum, a sharp green sword light penetrated the sea of flowers and flew into his hands.

  The long green sword was narrow and carved with ancient scripts.

  This was not a flying sword that xiuzhe used, but a mo weapon, a mo sword!

  With the sword in his hand, all of Marshal Yu's hesitation and uncertainty was swept away. The sword in his hand was called the Green Carp Tongue Sword, and was one of his mo weapons. It was ranked above the Black Heart Treasure Coins.

  The Green Carp Tongue Sword had been obtained after he had killed an enemy back when he was a general. At the beginning, its quality was average, and paled in comparison from its power today. He had tried all the ways he could think off, refining it with all kinds of methods available to him. Its power continued to increase, and it jumped into the ranks of earth mo weapons to become one of the most famous mo weapons of the present era.

  The Green Carp Tongue Sword was forged from the tongue of a rotten carp mo. The rotten carp mo was a kind of mo that lived deep in the sea. Their strongest organ was their green tongues which were hard and sharp, able to pierce through any object. After their death, the only part that would not rot was their green tongue. That was how the name of their clan came to be.

  The Green Carp Tongue Sword slashed at the flower sea split into.

  The sky full of red chains decayed when touched by the green light! The green light flashed, and a deep and black fissure appeared in the sky!

  A sword that could rend space!

  A dark and rotten presence came from the crack. The flora that still remained on the ground quickly withered.

  The sea of flowers quickly wilted and withered. In a flash, the endless sea of flowers became dried and withered branches.

  The most important reason the Green Carp Tongue Sword was able to rank among the earth mo weapons was that it could rend apart space. Marshal Yu had found an ancient jinzhi from the remnants of a record. It was able to rend space and connect to Rotten Jie, and the most important material to forge this jinzhi was the tongue of a rotten carp mo.

  For an expert like Marshal Yu, once the crux was identified, everything else wasn't a problem to figure out.

  The Green Carp Tongue sword was forged according to this method.

  The Rotten Jie was a strange land. It wasn't large, but was filled with monsters. What was most famous was the unique miasma there, it had yin and corrosive properties. It was one of the greatest poisons in the world. It was even troublesome for marshals if they came into contact with it. If one was weaker than marshal level, they would be immediately killed.

  As the corrosive miasma flooded out of the crack in space, Wo Li's sword essence flower sea quickly withered. Those tiny red chain links quickly melted like snow under the sun.

  Wo Li's calm gaze didn't change, as though what was happening was within her predictions.

  She bent down to touch the withered flowers, and sang in a clear voice, "Life not life, death not death, my heart will not separate."

  The dried flower sea on the ground suddenly started to absorb the rotten miasma. In a flash, it seemed to have taken in nutrients and bloomed again. The flowers that had absorbed the corrosive miasma became even brighter and the red chains that had melted took form again, this time with rainbow colored marks scattered throughout.

  A sweet taste filled the air.

  "Interesting!" Marshal Yu said with a change in his expression. In his view, this astounding change was extraordinary.

  As a marshal, he had better judgement than other experts. With a glance, he saw that Wo Li's cultivation was a strange one related to life and death. This surprised him. Life and death was one of the most profound and eternal questions. A method with life and death as the core principle was always cryptic and difficult to cultivate. But any method that dared to use the principle of life and death was always a
powerful one.

  He recognized the danger and became cautious.

  The other's presence was very strange. She brimmed with life, but it seemed to have been drawn and transformed from death energy. There were two completely opposite presences, life and death, on her. This strange state meant that he was unable to accurately gauge the other's strength.

  Marshal Yu understood. The corrosive miasma would not threaten this mysterious woman, it would only become fertilizer for the sea of flowers. The corrosive miasma was a kind of death energy formed after decaying. The other had the ability to turn life to death, and change death to life.

  The sea of flowers rippled and sword essence moved.

  Suddenly, many slender chains appeared at Marshal Yu's feet and wrapped tightly around him.

  "Hm!" Marshal Yu snorted coldly. The chain around his legs immediately flew apart.

  Yet at this time, the sea of flowers started to slowly spin with Wo Li as the center.

  The sea of flowers was becoming an enormous whirlpool!

  Clank!

  The sound of an enormous chain sounded. A great chain slowly rose from under her feet. With every movement upwards, there was the sound of the chain trembling.

  The chain was thicker than an adult arm. It was completely black and covered with red mo matrices.

  Marshal Yu's expression was grave and he threw the Green Carp Tongue Sword into the air.

  When the Green Carp Tongue Sword flew into the sky, it turned into a slender green carp. Suddenly, a burst of thunder sounded, and electrical snakes danced. Rain droplets poured down.

  The curtain of rain covered the world as mist spread.

  These droplets of rain seemed gentle, yet the sea of flowers suddenly slowed under the great rain.

  Marshal Yu's [Rain Domain of No Return]!

  Each rain droplet contained great power, and was so sharp it could penetrate armor. The ground immediately became riddled in holes.

  However, while the sea of flowers slowed in its spinning under the Rain Domain of No Return, it was still blooming brightly.

  Wo Li looked indifferently at Marshal Yu as the chain slowly rose from behind her back.

  If Marshal Yu could enter the sea of flowers, he would find that under Wo Li's feet, at the other end of the sea of flowers, there was a transparent figure, Luo li. He was standing at the other end of the sea of flowers, the chain moving down from his back.

  Chained Together.

  This move was called [Chained Together]!

  ———

  Zuo Mo didn't have the time to pay attention to the fight. The situation inside his body was the strangest at this time.

  That thread of hot flow from the Sun Crystal Seed immediately intimidated the shen power that had messed up his body like a king conquering the world. Yet when the dark and vicious energy of the Anti Dragon Claw also burrowed into Zuo Mo's body, it was like a furious lion that leapt over.

  The cold and vicious energy of the Anti Dragon Claw did not show weakness and welcomed the confrontation.

  It was like a storm. The two powers were evenly matched as they fought.

  The Zuo Mo's body became the battlefield for these two presences. For a while, the left side of Zuo Mo's body would be extremely cold while his right side was burning. These two powers were like two monsters inside Zuo Mo's body. Zuo Mo's shen power didn't dare to move, like a frightened child.

  Everywhere they passed, his body would be left extremely damaged. Fortunately, Zuo Mo still had the Greenvine Mystical Water. This droplet of Greenvine Mystical Water was intelligent and it continued to heal Zuo Mo's body.

  But the next event caused Zuo Mo's soul to almost fly out of his body.

  As though it was stimulated by the Anti Dragon Claw more hot flows came from the Sun Crystal Seed, and in response the Anti Dragon Claw, the peerless mo weapon, did not back off. Threads of cold and vicious energy continued to burrow into his body from his back.

  The two sides started to fight intensely again.

  Zuo Mo's face was white!

  Heavens, if they continued, ge wouldn't have enough Greenvine Mystical Water no matter how much ge had!

  If this continued, his body would definitely be ripped apart by these two presences.

  But what Zuo Mo hadn't expected was that the hot flows from the Sun Crystal seed quickly gained the upper hand. It clearly was stronger. Zuo Mo sighed in relief. If the two continued to fight, he would most likely die quickly.

  But the following developments cause Zuo Mo to panic again.

  The hot flows of the Sun Crystal Seed that had the upper hand left scorched dust behind in its path. Even the Greenvine Mystical Water was unable to repair it.

  Zuo Mo understood. The hot flows from the Sun Crystal Seed were not something his body could tolerate right now. Compared to the present situation, the previous situation when the two sides had been evenly matched was much better.

  Little Anti, give a bit more cold energy, a little bit more!

  Zuo Mo furiously thought of ways to help. But the cold energy didn't increase, and were being destroyed by the Sun Crystal Seed.

  Zuo Mo who had been praying furiously saw this and was enraged.

  Useless person!

  You couldn't even defeat an immature fireball, you sky mo weapon, sky mo weapon my ass!

  Zuo Mo swore inside.

  When he thought this, the Anti Dragon Claw on his back suddenly vibrated furiously. It seemed to have heard Zuo Mo's curses. A vast vicious presence that was many times stronger than before furiously charged into Zuo Mo's body as though it was furious!

  The Three Thousand Threads Of Worry seemed to detect that this was a crucial time, and had loosened its restraint on the Anti Dragon Claw.

  This burst of energy from the Anti Dragon Claw was extremely strong. When it charged into Zuo Mo's body, it scattered the hot flows from the Sun Crystal Seed. Zuo Mo felt the Anti Dragon Claw continue to tremble on his back. Zuo Mo seemed to have a feeling that the Anti Dragon Claw was a brawny large man that was now roaring smugly with laughter.

  But Zuo Mo didn't cheer and almost wailed. The presence of the Anti Dragon Claw had scattered the hot flows of the Sun Crystal Seed and was now rampaging through his body.

  The vicious killing intent was now also rapidly destroying his body!

  Damn it!

  Zuo Mo wanted to cry. Luckily, the Sun Crystal Seed was unable to tolerate defeat and another burning flow of heat came out of the crack and leap towards the vicious energies of the Anti Dragon Claw.

  The two forces teetered back and forth. Zuo Mo's body became the battlefield were the two forces fought a tug-of-war.

  All kinds of great pain tortured Zuo Mo's nerves but he was unable to move or cry out. In front of these two great vicious things, Zuo Mo was so minuscule he was an infant.

  But he did not give up.

  Even if it was painful to his bones, he gritted his teeth and maintained his calm to focus his attention.

  He knew that if he was to find a way to survive the battle of these two great and viscous forces, he had to be calm!

  He didn't remember what time it was, just as Zuo Mo was becoming numb … …

  A chance arrived!

  Translator Ramblings: Zuo Mo, oh, Zuo Mo, your body just doesn't want to cooperate with you. Too many treasures is a bad thing.

  Chapter 647: Transformation

  Nothing could rival the brutal presence of the Anti Dragon Claw, not even the wasteland beast that Zuo Mo could summon using the Archaic Wasteland Sacrificial Art. But this brutal presence was nothing compared to its power in the past. According to Pu Yao and Wei, the Anti Dragon Claw had been weakened for thousands of years by the Three Thousand Threads of Worry. This caused Zuo Mo to desire and admire what presence the Anti Dragon Claw had in the past.

  The brutal energies of the Anti Dragon Claw furiously flooded into Zuo Mo's body.

  The Sun Crystal Seed was stimulated by this. A thick, almost tangible, flow of heat poured ou
t from the crack as it slowly advanced.

  One was an unparalleled ancient and vicious object, the other was a great treasure of the world, one cold, one hot. When the two forces came into contact, it was like cold water poured into hot oil.

  In front of these two terrifying powers, Zuo Mo's steel hard mo physique that was fragile as paper. In a flash, it was covered in holes. If it wasn't for the Greenvine Mystical Water's healing properties, he would have already turned to dust long ago.

  But as the battle heated up, the positions of the two sides steadied and they gathered near each of the ten sun matrices on Zuo Mo's body.

  These ten sun matrices of the Ten Crow Celestial Apparatus mo physique were naturally attuned to the Sun Crystal Seed and acted as wells where shen power naturally gathered. The Sun Crystal Seed's power flowed into the ten mo matrices as a result.

  Taking advantage of this the cold and brutal energies of the Anti Dragon Claw quickly took over all of Zuo Mo's body and started to furiously attack these ten sun mo matrices.

  If someone was to touch Zuo Mo's body now, they would find to their shock that his entire body was freezing but the ten sun mo matrices burned like hot metal.

  As the battle intensified, even the shen power in Zuo Mo's sealed right hand was attracted and entered this great battle.

  Zuo Mo himself was left extremely weak.

  The powers inside his body rampaged out of control. His body was a mess and heavily injured.

  Yet at this moment, Zuo Mo found a chance.

  There was another power in Zuo Mo's body that he had always forgot—the Soul Setting Divine Light!

  This divine light came from Wei's succession. Other than placing jinzhi in Gu Ming Gong, Zuo Mo had never used it again. It was not that Zuo Mo had a low opinion of its power, but the succession of the Soul Setting Divine Light was too ancient and too difficult to understand. Even Wei could not speak of the specifics. The divine light itself was strange and Zuo Mo didn't even know where to begin studying it.

  What he had not expected was that the Soul Setting Divine Light slowly emerged out of the Three Thousand Threads of Worry during this moment of great danger. These two terrifying powers, Three Thousand Threads of Worry and the Soul Setting Divine Light, had not destroyed each other. Zuo Mo was not surprised about the Three Thousand Threads of Worry. Something that could restrain the Anti Dragon Claw had to be a treasure on par with the Anti Dragon Claw. This divine light that originated from the dawn of the world also was unaffected. Zuo Mo immediately realized that the Soul Setting Divine Light was a treasure on the same level as the Anti Dragon Claw and the Sun Crystal Seed!
