A naked man walked out of the curtain and casually put on a coat as he looked into the distance and murmured to himself, “A few months later will be Master’s death anniversary. When I break through into the Nine Heavens realm, I’ll definitely go to the Tiandang Mountains to find out the truth!”
1The man looked back at the bed in distaste. Through the opening between the curtains, he could see a tempting scene, but he just said faintly, “I’ve lost my appetite today. If any of you still wants some more, go get yourself a few cucumbers in the kitchen.”
As soon as he had finished speaking, he vanished from the bedroom.
…
At the bottom of the South Sea, Yunxiao was immersed in the pleasure of rapid energy growth. He had never been so extravagant before, even in his previous life. A few days later, the Primordial Qi accumulated in his body became restless again, and there was a faint sign of breaking through to the four-stars level.
“I was wondering why the Spirit Qi in the divine tree gradually became unstable. So, you are the culprits!” A figure suddenly appeared in the cavity and glanced coldly at them as he said, “Give me the diagram of this array and I’ll leave each of you a whole body!”
Startled, the group flicked open their eyes. Divine senses could be blocked inside this Kunwu Divine Tree. Therefore, none of them noticed when this person came in.
“Da Meng!” The Firefish clan chief cried out in horror, “You…You have become a Martial Emperor!”
Da Meng was the chief of the Razor Clam clan. He gazed coldly at the Firefish clan chief and said, “Tie Pin, give me the diagram of this array if you are wise. For the sake that you are a Martial Emperor as well, I can pardon the crimes your Firefish clan has committed. But, from now on, you will surrender to my Razor Calm clan and listen to our orders.”
The Firefish clan chief, Tie Pin, flew into a rage and said, “You robbers have destroyed the divine tree to such an extent! We, the Firefish clan, are at daggers drawn with you!”
“Hmph! Precious plants and minerals can only be possessed by capable people. This divine tree was with you for over ten thousand years, and yet your Firefish clan is only a D-grade clan now. What a shame! Although we have only possessed it for not too long, the strength of my whole clan has improved by leaps and bounds. When I came from the East Sea, I was just a nine-stars Martial Grandmaster, and it is because of this divine tree that I could advance to a two-stars Martial Emperor!”
“How I hate myself!”
Tie Pin gnashed his teeth. If he had been willing to fight the Razor Clam clan, he might have won! Now, the foe had advanced to a two-stars Martial Emperor and was in the prime of life. He, on the other hand, was just an old and dying one-star Martial Emperor. He had no chance of winning.
Suddenly, Yunxiao’s voice transmission rang in his ear, “Lord Clan Chief, hold him off as long as you can. Tie Fan has reached the threshold of breakthrough, and as long as he can break through, you two can join hands and there will still be hope.”
Tie Pin was astonished, and he turned to give Tie Fan a glance. Tie Fan’s forehead was beaded with sweat, and he was evidently struggling at the threshold, with an expression of anguish on his face. Meanwhile, both Tie Bi and Tie Xin had broken through to the nine-stars Martial Grandmasters realm. Although they were at the early stages, their energy levels were clearly rising. The clan chief immediately felt a huge sense of responsibility. The hope for the future of the Firefish clan rested on these people, and he must protect them even if he were crushed to pieces today!
“Da Meng! If you want the diagram, you have to step over my dead body!” Tie Pin stood up abruptly and rushed out of the cavity. “If you have the guts, come out and fight me!”
Glancing coldly at Tie Fan and the others, Da Meng sneered, “Are you trying to buy some time? Even if this lad breaks through and becomes a Martial Emperor, he still has to die. But, since you refuse to come to your senses, I’ll teach you a lesson that will never be forgotten by the Firefish clan.”
He suddenly glanced at Yunxiao and Duan Yue as he snorted and said, “I can’t believe that you have colluded with human beings. The man who intruded here a few days ago should be your partner, right?” When he had finished, he swam slowly out of the cavity while staring sardonically at Tie Pin.
That stirred Yunxiao, and he exchanged a look with Duan Yue. Both of them knew that the man Da Meng mentioned should be Heng Yuan. Yunxiao did not expect him to have entered the Kunwu Divine Tree as well. That fellow was a peak nine-stars Martial Grandmaster. So, after staying in this divine tree for a few days, he was likely to have stepped into the realm of Martial Emperors!
There was a tremendous rumble outside the cavity; the two clan chiefs had begun to fight.
Although Tie Pin was old and one star lower in cultivation base, he was determined to protect the future hope of the Firefish clan. As soon as the fight began, he burned his life, giving his every attack a power beyond his limit, which had gained him an upper hand.
Tie Fei had now advanced to the level of six-stars. Sensing the energy fluctuation outside the cavity, he said excitedly, “Lord Clan Chief is so strong! I can’t believe he is suppressing a two-stars Martial Emperor!”
Tie Ling, on the other hand, said with a worried look, “Is my dad gonna be all right?”
Yunxiao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “What are you doing? I want you to focus on improving your strength as much as possible! The Lord Clan Chief is fighting out there with his life to buy us more time!”
Yunxiao knew Tie Pin’s current condition; the more power he brought his power out, the faster his lifespan was consumed. He could not hold on for too long.
Tie Fan understood this as well, and he was panicked, causing his Primordial Qi to push even fiercer in his body. He knew that if he could not break through, he would be no match for Da Meng with the strength of a peak nine-stars Martial Grandmaster.
“Relax your mind and guide the Qi back to the Primordial. When the mind is blank, the demons vanish and success comes naturally.”
Yunxiao’s voice rang beside Tie Fan’s ear like a stream of spirit spring water, which made him feel suddenly enlightened. He cleared his mind at once and remained calm, and his aura began to immediately experience a series of changes. At that moment, the Spirit Qi crazily absorbed by the One Qi of Destiny array seemed to have been swallowed by him, and his body seemed to have turned into a bottomless black hole.
The scene made Duan Yue stare at Yunxiao in shock. ‘He actually guided a peak nine-stars Martial Grandmaster to break through? This is something that cannot be done even if he is several realms stronger than Tie Fan! And yet, he did it so casually as if he were teaching his student!’
Yunxiao smiled as he looked at Tie Fan. Then, he closed his eyes and began to break through for the level of four-stars realm. Throughout the Heavenly Martial Continent, there were very few people who could surpass him in the understanding of martial arts. He had extremely profound insight for the breakthrough of every realm, and this was the reason why he could break through directly as long as he had accumulated enough Primordial Qi.
RUMBLE!
A muffled explosion rang out of Tie Fan’s body, and his temperament changed dramatically in that instant. Tie Xin and Tie Bi looked at each other in horror, their eyes filled with shock and great joy while their faces flickered with a trace of fear. The aura that exploded out of Tie Fan’s body made them feel a great fear and pressure.
“Thank you!” Tie Fan said gratefully and then disappeared from the cavity.
Apart from astonishment, Tie Ling and the others were filled with great joy. But, when they saw Yunxiao remain calm and still pushing for a higher level, they quieted down instantly and worked hard to absorb the incredible Spirit Qi. They knew that this kind of opportunity might never come again in their lifetime, and every additional second they spent in absorbing it was of great benefit to them.
The fighting outside was extremely fierce, but it could not affect those inside.
Yunxiao smoothly broke through to the level of four-stars. He opened his eyes slightly, and instead of being happy, he looked extremely worried. “Get ready to go, everybody! I’m afraid Clan Chief and Tie Fan cannot last much longer, and the fighting has produced too much noise, which may have already alerted the other Razor Clams.”
Tie Ling said worriedly, “Your Excellency, are my dad and Brother Tie Fan alright?”
Suddenly, a voice said faintly, “Continue your cultivation. I’ll take care of the rest.”
That startled everyone, and then they saw Duan Yue’s eyes gleam as he gave Yunxiao a grateful look while taking a step to leave the cavity. Yunxiao’s eyes flickered, and he murmured under his breath in great joy, “He is indeed a Martial Emperor!”
Outside the cavity, Tie Pin and Tie Fan were covered in blood, panting violently as they stared at Da Meng. Their eyes were full of hatred and killing intent, and although they were seriously wounded, their fighting will was stronger than ever. The branches of the divine tree around them had been destroyed, leaving an open area of more than one hundred meters diameter while the seawater was full of broken branches and tree sap.
Although Da Meng looked messy as well, he was unhurt. His eyes burned with killing intent as he said coldly, “Initially, I intended to spare your clan and make you my clan’s servant. But, since you are so ignorant, you all can go die now!”
A silvery light appeared in his palms, swirling around them like a milky way while giving off a terrible aura.
“It is you who will die.” Suddenly, a voice rang out behind him.
Taken aback, Da Meng turned around abruptly and saw a bare-chested man floating quietly behind him with a round seal printed on his chest like three little tadpoles joined end to end, which looked extremely bizarre.
“You and what army? A seven-stars Martial Grandmaster?” Da Meng sneered, but there was somehow a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
Duan Yue slowly looked up as he held up his fingers like a sword and cried out, “Open!”
COMMENT
The tails of the three little tadpoles on his chest immediately retracted, leaving only three black dots behind. A powerful aura began to emerge from Duan Yue’s body, climbing steadily under his ice cold glance.
“Eight-stars Martial Grandmaster.”
“Nine-stars Martial Grandmaster.”
Da Meng was struck dumb as he muttered. The man’s aura had directly increased by two levels, and it was still rising explosively. “Peak nine-stars… This is… Martial Emperor!”
“Roar!”
Duan Yue threw his head back and roared like a wild beast. It seemed that he had been depressed for too long, and after returning to the realm of Martial Emperors, his emotions over the years suddenly burst out. Impacted by that, a line of vacuum broke across the nearby seawater.
Not only Da Meng, but even Tie Pin and Tie Fan were shocked. Duan Yue’s aura did not stop after he had advanced to the realm of Martial Emperors, but continued to rise.
“One-star Martial Emperor…”
“Peak one-star Martial Emperor…”
“Impossible!” Da Meng was taken aback. The man’s aura stuck at the peak of a one-star Martial Emperor, but power continued to explode out of him, and there was a vague feeling that he was about to break through.
RUMBLE!
The repressed energy finally rushed up the last threshold. After the moment of violence, the whole seabed quieted down.
A naked man walked out of the curtain and casually put on a coat as he looked into the distance and murmured to himself, “A few months later will be Master’s death anniversary. When I break through into the Nine Heavens realm, I’ll definitely go to the Tiandang Mountains to find out the truth!”
