As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1115
Chapter 1115 Crimson Sun Heaven
It was obvious that the person who came had already reached the Quasi-Sage realm, and this Quasi-Sage aura immediately aroused the vigilance of the four people from before. Their cultivation levels did not differ much, and if they attacked in the Void Realm, they would all be glorious and lose everything.
At this moment, the red-robed middle-aged man was also apparently worried. He was attracted by the Void Spirit Qi and thought that there was no one here, but after waiting for it to arrive, he discovered that there were already people on every mountain peak.
If there was no one else, he could naturally go up and condense the Void Spirit Qi. However, there was already someone there. If he went up again, it would be tantamount to invading other people’s territories and would inevitably lead to a fight.
Their cultivation had reached their level, especially when their opponent’s strength wasn’t too different from their own. In fact, they wouldn’t easily make a move.
Because if they didn’t pay attention, it would often become a life-and-death battle. They didn’t want to lose in the Great Void Realm of the Crimson Sun before they reached Feng Yuntian.
At this moment, the four people with Quasi-Sage cultivation were all vigilant. At the same time, they had condensed strands of True Qi to surround their surroundings. Clearly, they were defending their territory. No matter who it was, if they dared to invade, don’t blame them for being merciless!
The red-robed middle-aged man looked at the mountain peaks. He didn’t want to return empty-handed with so much Void Spirit Qi. However, looking at the two old men and the old woman, it seemed that they were not easy to deal with. Their cultivation levels weren’t too different from his. If these people worked together to deal with him, it would be troublesome.
In the end, his gaze landed on Xiao Chen, who was alone. It was as if he had found a soft persimmon. With a step, he flew towards that mountain peak in the wind.
When they landed on the top of the mountain, they instantly caused the ground to be filled with flying stones. Their momentum was not small. Among the five people here, the other four had Quasi-Sage cultivation. Only Xiao Chen seemed to have the lowest cultivation.
Therefore, the red-robed middle-aged man naturally found him. At this moment, the other four people all pretended not to see him. Since it was none of their business, why should they meddle?
“Within ten steps, kill without mercy.”
Unexpectedly, the red-robed middle-aged man was afraid that the other party would move aside. However, all he got was such an ice-cold sentence.
This sentence caused the four people on the four surrounding mountains to be slightly shocked. If a Pseudo-Sage above the sixth rank said this, perhaps it would still be somewhat intimidating, but it seemed that he had not even peeked into the Saint realm?
“Huh?”
The red-robed middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed and he immediately stopped. Originally, this was considered an invasion, but now that he suddenly heard the other party’s cold words, he became even more fearful. He thought to himself, “How could a kid who is at most at the True Cave Stage dare to speak to him like this?”
His heart was still alive. The red-robed middle-aged man lifted his Genuine energy and insisted on testing it. However, before he could get close to Xiao Chen, a black shadow appeared from the void and blocked Xiao Chen’s path.
“Those who approach Master … will be killed without mercy!”
The black figure’s entire body was filled with murderous aura, and a boundless momentum surged forth from his body like a raging sea!
Not only was the red-robed middle-aged man shocked, even the four people on the four surrounding mountains felt suffocated. This aura was … Ninth Grade Quasi-Sage!
“Die!”
The cold word “death” seemed to come from the Jiuyou Abyss. Before his voice could finish, that black figure had already instantly struck out with an unstoppable palm power that was like thunder!
The red-robed middle-aged man was suddenly shocked. In an instant, he reacted, gathered all the true energy in his body, protected his heart meridians, and flew backwards.
“Boom!” Rocks flew everywhere, and several cliffs shattered into dust!
Amidst the dust, the red-robed middle-aged man seemed to have lost control and flew backwards. He didn’t stop until he flew a few hundred feet away.
At this moment, the red-robed middle-aged man’s face was filled with astonishment. If he hadn’t reacted quickly earlier, even if he hadn’t died, he would have been injured by the black shadow.
“This time, this old man will let you go. If you dare to approach this mountain again … I will kill you without mercy!”
An icy cold voice echoed across the mountain peaks. The black figure was extremely frightening. The wind blew his messy hair that covered his face. Only then did he see clearly that it was an old man, and he was none other than Gui Yunshan!
Last time in Xuanxiao Palace, Gui Yunshan was killed by Xiao Chen, and his soul was instantly forbidden by Xiao Chen’s Soul Forbidden Technique. Therefore, he had obviously become Xiao Chen’s “Soul General”. He was controlled by Xiao Chen’s soul and no longer had any original consciousness. In other words, Gui Yunshan was completely dead, and there was no Gui Yunshan in this world.
At the end of that day, although Cang Yue’s soul was also imprisoned by Xiao Chen’s Soul Forbidden Technique, after all, Cang Yue was only an avatar. That soul was only a strand of Cang Yue’s original soul. More importantly, Cang Yue was not killed by Xiao Chen.
Only those who were personally killed could become their “soul generals”. Thus, even though Xiao Chen had imprisoned Cang Yue’s Primordial Soul with the Soul Forbidden Technique, his original body was still alive, so he was unable to refine the Primordial Spirit of Cang Yue’s avatar into his own “soul general”.
At this moment, a cold breeze blew out from the mountain. The red-robed middle-aged man was far away. His face was deathly pale, and he didn’t dare to move. He absolutely didn’t dare to continue to approach.
The other four people on the mountain peak were also intimidated. All of their faces turned pale. It was only now that they realized that that person was actually a Soul Controller!
At this moment, the four of them immediately felt as if they had fallen into an abyss. No wonder he dared to come to this dangerous place alone. A Soul Controller was synonymous with terror a long time ago. Only after the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World was shattered did this mysterious group of Soul Controllers gradually disappear.
The Imperial Soul Master had once made countless people tremble with fear. For a long time, almost everyone’s souls had changed color. The reason why they were terrifying was because their souls were extremely strong, able to control those souls that had already died.
Just imagine how terrifying it would be if someone controlled the souls of those ancient gods and devils that had died tens of thousands of years ago.
At this moment, the faces of the four people became paler and paler. Could this young man in front of them really be a Soul Controller? The long lost Soul Imperial Technique has actually been passed down to this day …
Although his current Soul General seemed to only have the cultivation of a Ninth Grade Quasi-Saint, to them, a Ninth Grade Quasi-Saint was no small matter … If this person was able to control a battle soul that possessed Saint realm strength, how terrifying would that be?
“Fuck off.”
An ice-cold voice came from the middle mountain peak. The red-robed middle-aged man outside trembled and didn’t dare to stay any longer. He formed a sword seal in his hand and instantly turned into a sword light that flew into the distance.
The mountain peaks gradually became very quiet. The four of them held their breaths and remained silent. In fact, with their cultivation, how could they not see that there were restrictions on these mountains? And this restriction was obviously broken by the young man in front of them for the time being.
However, when they arrived just now, they opened their eyes and closed them. In any case, they felt that the other party could not do anything to them, so they naturally condensed the Void Spirit Qi here. Now that they discovered that the other party’s strength was actually extremely terrifying, they did not dare to act rashly.
At this moment, the four of them stood on the summit of the mountain, no longer condensing the Void Spirit Qi. However, they did not leave. They only stared at Xiao Chen like this.
It was obvious that they were still reluctant to give up the spiritual energy here, but they didn’t dare to continue to condense it unless Xiao Chen opened his mouth so that they could continue to condense the spiritual energy here.
Xiao Chen naturally knew what the four of them were thinking. He said, “I am alone can absorb enough spiritual energy from this mountain. On the other four mountains, it’s fine for four of you to take it for yourself.”
Hearing this, the four of them were delighted in their hearts. The two old men laughed and said, “Well, thank you, little friend.” After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Xiao Chen before daring to continue to condense spiritual energy.
After a while, the four of them took almost all of their spiritual energy. They didn’t dare to take all of it. There was still some left. An old man said, “Thank you, little friend, for giving me some spiritual energy today. There is still some left here. I’ll take my leave now.”
After saying that, the four of them immediately turned into four streaks of sword light and flew into the distance.
Xiao Chen watched the four of them disappear into the endless twilight. He did not hesitate. His hands trembled and Genuine energy surged. The remaining Void Spiritual Qi from the four surrounding mountains also gathered at the middle mountain peak. Only then did he finish extracting all the Void Spiritual Qi from the five mountain peaks.
Right now, the Void Spirit Qi condensed on his body was enough, but to ensure that he could ascend to the ninth level of Feng Yuntian without worry, it was completely enough to resist the flaming wind and cold Qi above.
It was just that he was half a month late this time. He had no idea what level Xiao Meng’er had ascended to. It was not easy to ascend to Feng Yuntian from the Great Void Realm of the Crimson Sun. He had to pass through a place called the “Crimson Sun Heavens”.
The Scarlet Sun Heaven was the most dangerous place in the entire Scarlet Sun Void Realm. Ordinary people would never dare to go there alone. This was the reason why he had allowed the four of them to continue absorbing spiritual energy just now. A small favor could sometimes be rewarded with even greater rewards.
The four of them were already Quasi-Saints. Although they were only at the fourth or fifth rank, they were definitely not weak. If the four Quasi-Saints gathered together, they could easily destroy a city. Therefore, if the four of them worked together, it would be much easier for them to cross the Scarlet Sun Heavens.
Of course, it was not entirely impossible for him to go alone, but there was no need for him to go alone. Once he encountered danger in Crimson Sun Heaven, he would definitely consume more Yuan Qi. At that time, even if he boarded Feng Yuntian, it would be hard to guarantee that he would not be ambushed by others.
Therefore, it was the best choice to find the four of them to travel through the Scarlet Sun Heavens together.
At this moment, the night was completely shrouded. Xiao Chen did not hesitate anymore. He moved and went into the distance. By noon the next day, he could already feel a gust of flame wind invading his entire body. This meant that Crimson Sun Heaven was not far away from him.
After flying for another thousand miles, the feeling of heat grew heavier and heavier. Even the nearby plants and trees seemed to wither and wither, and there was no longer the feeling of green life that they had before.
“Looks like Crimson Sun Heaven is not far ahead …”
Xiao Chen reached out to wipe the sweat off his forehead. This feeling of flames caused him to feel a little uncomfortable. He condensed his finger and covered his entire body with a layer of Void Spirit Qi before continuing to fly forward.
When twilight fell, he finally arrived near Scarlet Sun Heaven. A thousand miles away, it had already turned into scorched earth. There were no more green mountains and rivers. There were only volcanoes and the rolling magma on the ground. It was truly terrifying.
“Looks like I underestimated this place earlier …”
Xiao Chen looked at the blazing magma rolling all over the ground. Even though he was in the air, he felt extremely hot. This place had not yet reached the Scarlet Sun Heaven. When it reached the Scarlet Sun Heaven, it would most likely be even more terrifying.
As for Xiao Meng’er, she should have passed through this place half a month ago. According to her temperament, she might even have passed through the Scarlet Sun Sky alone.
