World of Cultivation - Volume 06 - All Hail Our King

by Fang Xiang

  Phoenix Flame!

  He had guess before that Silly Bird was a phoenix and now he was even more sure. The Phoenix Flame was unlike any other flame. Its attributes were unique. Even in the ancient era, the Phoenix Flame was something that would cause people to pale upon hearing the name.

  More importantly, this was his natural enemy!

  So scary!

  He was actually on the same side as his bane. Thinking about his future days, the Ghost Mist Child suddenly felt that life was not as good as he imagined.

  Silly Bird detected that Tan Xu, trapped in the flame, wanted to escape. Her magnificent eyes became half-lidded as her spread wings lightly flapped.

  If other people were watching as bystanders, they would feel that the flapping of the wings was nonchalant and careless. Yet the Ghost Mist Child who had been paying attention all this time watched closely.

  Rhythm!

  Silly Bird's wings were flapping at an indescribably unique rhythm.

  This was definitely some powerful shen methodology!

  When it affected his own situation, the Ghost Mist child watched closely. Silly Bird seemed to just have flapped her wings a few times but in reality, her feet had imperceptibly moved position a few times.

  When people reached this level, any seemingly normal movement would contain mysteries.

  The Ghost Mist Child thought hard to search his distant memories. He seemed to think of something.

  The flames were like a cage. No matter how Tan Xu charged and fought, he could not break out of the flames. An invisible field of force spread as Silly Bird flapped her wings and moved her feet.

  Tan Xu's sweat dripped from his head as he panicked.

  Red flames were all around him. He seemed to be situated in an endless sea of fire. No matter which direction he charged in, the flames seemed to be extend without end.

  This was strange!

  There was something going on!

  He knew that he was definitely in the enemy's trap. That ball of flame had definitely been a trap!

  No matter how he channeled shen power, his sword scriptures would enter into the flames and disappear.

  His shen power was being used up at an astounding rate. If this continued, he would soon be unable to hold up.

  Without the protection of shen power, the flames would burn him to ashes.

  Was he going to die today?

  Strangely, this thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but still.

  Silly Bird with her half-lidded eyes moved in small steps like that of an old lady out on an after meal stroll. She would occasionally wave her wings a few times nonchalantly.

  The bright red flames twisted and moved like a monster. Anyone who watched it felt fear.

  The Black Gold Seal Soldier swallowed and said hoarsely, "Is this the [Solitary Dance of the Great Dark Wheel Phoenix]?"

  He knew that if he was within this ball of flame, he would have been melted into liquid. He really could not offend Big Sister Bird! The clever Black Gold Seal Soldier wondered if he should give up more food as tribute to gain favor with Big Sister Bird.

  Sunshine sighed and said sympathetically, "So pitiful."

  The Phoenix Flame was just a little more than a zhang in diameter, yet no matter how Tan Xu fought, he could not escape.

  Too scary!

  ———

  With the Anti Dragon Claw in his hand, the killing intent inside Zuo Mo exploded as though the flames were fanned by wind.

  Zuo Mo's eyes flashed coldly. Gripping the Anti Dragon Claw with one hand, he leapt into the air and swung downwards at Nie Chen as though he was holding a large axe. A suddenly layer of golden light appeared on the Anti Dragon Claw and the enormous axe of light formed from the tips of the Anti Dragon Claw.

  In a blink, the sun shen axe turned from a one-handed axe into a two-handed axe.

  The axe was thousands of catties heavy!

  Everyone heard the piercing howl. The Anti Dragon Claw was a vicious item to start with, and after being fed with shen power, it was peerless in its viciousness. The wind it created, as it cut through the air, was like the howling of ten thousand ghosts. Even the sky started to darken.

  The ghost mist in the surroundings melted like snow in hot water.

  Shen power and killing intent mixed inside. Zuo Mo threw all of his strength behind this blow!

  Nie Chen's expression changed but then he recovered his calm. This blow was the perfect melding of dominance and killing intent. The world changed. It was just one axe but it seemed to take over the entire sky.

  Suddenly, Nie Chen seemed to see a mountainous and ancient hero towering over the world.

  Under this axe, all shook!

  It was the first time he felt he was as minuscule and insignificant as an ant.

  But he was a mentally strong person. His mind shook but then recovered.

  In front of such a peerless blow, Nie Chan's pride was stimulated. The flying sword in his hand suddenly lit up with dazzling light. An astounding amount of shen power was channeled in. The flying sword was unable to tolerate it and started to melt on the surface. The seal scriptures were being damaged.

  But he did not seem to mind it. His expression was solemn as he looked at the astounding blow.

  The flying sword quickly turned into liquid metal but, for the moment, it stilled maintained the shape of a flying sword. Blinding light quickly dimmed. Nie Chen gripped the long rod of liquefying metal.

  Nie Chen's eyes were wide in anger as he shouted.

  "For Kun Lun!'

  The liquid metal in his hand hummed and shook. Like a bolt of lightning, it shot out upwards!

  Hearing the words [Kun Lun], the anger in Zuo Mo's heart suddenly erupted. Unprecedented killing intent and anger immediately swallowed him like an erupting volcano.

  Every fibre of muscle was shaking, every hair standing on end. Zuo Mo felt as though there was a raging fire inside his body.

  Those scenes that he would never see again appeared in fragments through his mind. Wu Kong Mountain, Sect Leader, Shishu, Shidi, Shimei … …

  Zuo Mo felt as though there was a stone on his heart.

  In the end, this kind of discomfort reached a threshold. All of the anger and killing intent rushed through the threshold and erupted.

  "[Kun your mom!]"

  A furious bellow thundered out. He did not notice that tears were streaming off his face.

  The berserk Zuo Mo was like a god.

  "Not good!" The Ghost Mist Child exclaimed as he paled.

  Blinding light suddenly lit up in the sky. The energies were like rain droplets that hit Zuo Mo's body.

  Jinzhi! The Totem Coliseum's jinzhi were activated!

  The Ghost Mist Child paled and went to leap towards Zuo Mo in the sky with the intentions of blocking the jinzhi for Zuo Mo!

  Daren actually … … actually was strong enough to activate the jinzhi of the Totem Coliseum … …

  The stunned Ghost Mist Child's pupils suddenly contracted and his body froze where he stood!

  The energies hit Zuo Mo's body but Zuo Mo did not seem to feel it. The light coming off his body suddenly grew and formed a ball of light multiple times bigger than Zuo Mo!

  How was … … it possible!

  The Ghost Mist Child gaped, his mind blank.

  More lights appeared in the sky as though stars were being ignited. The light energies rained down on Zuo Mo in the sky from all directions.

  The berserk Zuo Mo did not feel it. He glared, his face twisted, every muscle tensed!

  An enormous ball of light covered him. Lightning flashed, fire burned, and ice cut within the ball of light … …

  In the ball of light, the Anti Dragon Claw was so excited it shook!

  In the sky, there was only this figure!

  In everyone's eyes, there was only this shadow!

  The shuddering howls of the Anti Dragon Claw could be heard through the entire battlefield. With the terrifying and vast power of
the enormous ball of light, Zuo Mo rushed down at an astounding speed!

  Crashing down!

  The trembling power spread, and the ground of the entire Totem Coliseum uncontrollably vibrated.

  Like an enraged ancient beast, Zuo Mo was like a god descending to earth with a vicious and domineering presence conquering all around!

  The axe swung down!

  Translator Ramblings: I didn't realize it until now but Fang Xiang didn't do anything with personality types and elements. The typical hot-headed fire user and the icy aloof ice user etc etc didn't really appear in this story.

  Also, anyone have suggestions for cheap headphones that block out office noise?

  Chapter 804: Victory

  Nie Chen was stunned dumb by the terrifying figure in his sight!

  Suddenly, he understood why Eldest Shixiong Lin Qian had always said that Mo Cloud Sea would become their greatest enemy! Everyone in Kun Lun had disagreed. Everyone had not said anything, and they had simply dismissed the words.

  Based on what?

  With what could Mo Cloud Sea rival Kun Lun? How could that poor and rural sect challenge they who were geniuses?

  Only today when he saw that figure which was like a god in the sky and that ball of light that contained astounding power did he suddenly understand.

  Mo Cloud Sea would definitely become a great enemy of Kun Lun!

  This vicious figure would become the nightmare of Kun Lun!

  He had never heard of such an attack with such presence. He had never seen such a terrifying xiuzhe. Even the strongest disciples in the sect would not give him such a great impact.

  It was not just strength, but that presence, that presence that was completely different from them!

  Zuo Mo was like an inhuman monster. On him, all conventions were defied.

  Such a terrifying person!

  The air around Nie Chen was turbulent. The flow of strong currents of air caused everything he saw to be twisted. He had an understanding that under this blow, he would be reduced to dust.

  His expression became calm and grave on his upraised face. Through his twisted vision, he saw that vicious dominance. In this moment, countless thoughts spun through his mind … …

  The sect did not place enough attention on Mo Cloud Sea … …

  Zuo Mo was the strongest of Mo Cloud Sea … …

  To destroy Mo Cloud Sea, they had to first kill Zuo Mo … …

  It was a pity … … there was no time … …

  He sighed inside. Through his twisted vision, he still could clearly see that the attack he had channeled all of his power into powerlessly smash onto the other's axe energy. It didn't even cause a ripple as though it had encountered an unshakable mountain.

  The destructive golden axe energy immediately took over his entire field of view.

  He was unable to communicate what had happened here back to the sect … … it really was regretful … …

  "Kun Lun."

  Nie Chen sighed out the two words. Before he finished, he was drowned by the enormous wave of axe energy.

  The light dissipated.

  Zuo Mo panted. His entire body was soaked by sweat as though he had just climbed out of a river. Sweat streamed off his body like little streams.

  He motionlessly maintained his extended swinging posture.

  His bellowing panting could be heard everywhere.

  In front of him, a enormous gully five li wide started from under his feet and reached into the distance. A rough estimate would be at least fifty li! The scene was startling to see as though an enormous wound had been torn open on the ground.

  The gully was so deep the bottom could not be seen. The two sides of the gully flashed with the light as it reflected off the glass like surface and many places were still giving off smoke.

  Everyone was stunned by this blow.

  The Ghost Mist Child's mouth was wide open but he wasn't able to make a sound. This was the Totem Coliseum … … when was the last time the Totem Coliseum had been damaged?

  His mind was completely blank and he couldn't remember anything. However, he knew that it had been many many many years since he had seen it.

  A long time later, he recovered from his daze.

  Suddenly, he realized that this young master of his was definitely something.

  ———

  Zuo Mo's astounding blow attracted everyone's attention, even Tenth Grade and Zhen Ling Meng in the middle of their fight.

  When they saw Zuo Mo's terrifying presence like that of a god, Tenth Grade and Zhen Ling Meng unconsciously stopped fighting.

  Tenth Grade felt his blood heat up as he watched. That dominance, that ferocity, that unstoppable presence, wasn't that what he had been pursuing?

  That was a fight! That was a truly strong person!

  Tenth Grade's morale suddenly increased, his fighting spirit rising. The domineering and unstoppable figure was deeply imprinted in his mind.

  Tenth Grade!

  Only that domineering presence was suitable for the name Tenth Grade!

  Tenth Grade suddenly howled, his shen power rippling as his [Hundred Sacrificial Soul Killing Sword] came out again!

  Stimulated, Tenth Grade became even more mad and excited. The power of the [Hundred Sacrificial Soul Killing Sword] suddenly grew!

  Zhen Ling Meng's mind was thrown into disarray by the scene that she had just seen. Especially when she saw that Nie Chen Shixiong's last attack was ineffective against the other's vicious axe energy. Nie Chen Shixiong died where he was standing, and the blood drained completely from her face.

  That figure like that of a god continued to appear in her mind. She felt her heart was dead.

  The other was so strong it surpassed the limits of humans!

  With victory decided in that battle, the deadlock between the two sides was immediately changed.

  Tenth Grade did not have any thoughts of showing mercy to females. He was vicious, one move coming faster than the last. Once a vicious sword scripture like the [Hundred Sacrificial Soul Killing Sword] gained the upper hand, the enemy would feel that the pressure was slowly suffocating them.

  In an excited battle frenzy, Tenth Grade felt that something in his mind broke and an unprecedented feeling of pleasure rose.

  His mind turned, and Tenth Grade used his killing move again!

  [Hundred Sacrificial Soul Killing Sword]!

  The dark red howled as it flew towards Zhen Ling Meng whose mind was not focused.

  The bloody figure that was as light as silk disappeared, and shadows appeared and disappeared on the dark red surface of the crescent.

  With the appearance of every shadow, the killing energy of the crescent would increase!

  Seven shadows!

  The killing energy of the crescent had reached an astounding level. Zhen Ling Meng's sword energies would crumble when they touched the crescent!

  A spray of blood into the air.

  Zhen Ling Meng lost all signs of life!

  When Zhen Ling Meng fell to the ground, Silly Bird slowly withdrew the Phoenix Flame. Where the Phoenix Flame had been, there was nothing, not even a speck of dust.

  Silly Bird walked her bird walk with her head high and looking to the side as though nothing had happened.

  ———

  In the Sword Guard Hall, there were countless jade swords hanging. Each jade sword was about the width of a hand had the name of a disciple written on it. The hilt of the swords were tied with red rope to the beams of the hall.

  There were countless jade swords hanging in the hall.

  Suddenly, pop pop pop, three jade swords shattered without warning.

  The disciple standing guard in the hall changed expression. This meant that there were three Kun Lun disciples who had been killed. He hurriedly picked up the fragments. When he saw the three names, his expression turned ashen.

  Three Children of Kun Lun!

  Three of the Children Kun Lun had been killed!

  How was it possibl
e?

  Who was able to kill three Children of Kun Lun at once?

  There were only fifty Children of Kun Lun in all of Kun Lun. Each child of Kun Lun had glorious status in the sect. They were astoundingly powerful and any one of them could cause a storm on the outside world.

  But … …

  Three Children of Kun Lun had died at the same time!

  This was the first time ever since Kun Lun had been founded. Realizing the severity of the problem, the disciple on duty sprinted out madly.

  Not long after, the news that three Children of Kun Lun had been killed spread through all of Kun Lun!

  Kun Lun shook!

  ———

  Zuo Mo fell down to the ground on his behind, his arms spread as he fell back. He ignored the flow of sweat and panted like a parched fish.

  All of his power had been used up. The exhaustion that came along caused his mind to turn blank.

  A long time later, he finally focused.

  His accumulated emotions had been vented and his mind was clear. He would always remember the grudge of his sect yet he was not as simple and direct with his emotions as Wei Sheng. Shixiong's personality was simple and direct, he had used a sword oath to understand his heart. For Zuo Mo who repressed these feelings. after a long time, it became an obstacle affecting his mental progress.

  When he used this method to vent all the matters that had accumulated his mind, his mind became clear, and his strength took another step forward.

  His body that was void of power, a clear mind, this strange yet beautiful feeling made him feel comfortable.

  He knew that after this battle, his strength would go up another level!

  ———

  There were constantly people coming out of the five halls. But anyone that were not on their side were immediately killed!

  A Gui was like a ghost. Usually, just as the enemy came out, she would appear like a ghost behind the other's back and with a snap she would break the other's neck.

  The Black Gold Seal Soldier was not willing to show weakness, especially after he saw Tenth Grade's display. His mind at disequilibrium, he fought even harder.

  The Ghost Mist Child would occasionally participate to remind people he was there.

  However, the strongest member of the great Ghost Mist Tribe, the hall master of Mist Hall, now was in a situation where he had to remind people of his existence. It really was a pitiful matter!
