Divine Brilliance - Chapter 758
Chapter 758: Nine Glory Xuankong
“I heard that people who could cause such a calamity have all trained their internal energy and physical bodies to the extreme! I have only seen this three times when I traveled in the outer region!”
There were a few more people beside him. Longxuan naturally stuck close to him, there was also Zhongguang and Xuanwei who stood by his side.
Qingming followed behind the few of them, carrying a long sword on his back. In his hand, he held a deep black wooden carving that looked similar to that of a Xuanwu!
Although it was a craving, it looked really life-like, like it could come alive at any moment. It gave off a really mysterious and indiscernible aura.
“This kid is indeed the best talent our Cloud World has produced in 10,000 years! This tribulation is proof of that although it is a disaster for him!”
Longxuan said with a big smile.
When he said the word ‘disaster’, his tone was extremely cold.
“The few of us can’t compare to him in the past!”
“Naturally! If we give him some more time, probably in a few hundred years, he would be able to enter the Saint Realm! Unfortunately, Lingyun Sect missed out, if not, he would be a blessing to our Taoist Faction…”
Xuanwei shook his head, but he was slightly interested, “That Heaven Escaping Energy Circle Formation is also not bad. There are 50 Grand Daos, the Heavens include 49 of them, but one of them was excluded. This formation has 50 Dragon Veins, just nice a full 50. A full 365 cycles, this formation has 364, just nice missing one. This should be impossible, but somehow this formation seems perfect! Even without the Mixed Essence One Energy Pearl, it can harm everything and it also has the ability to teleport. If an outsider enters, he would definitely get lost and end up in an endless circle. Once one dies, even his soul will find it tough to escape.”
He asked curiously, “The one who made the formation is Kong Rui? Who knew that fellow would actually have such a talent, how unfortunate…”
Qingming listened on and knew that her Great Senior Master seemed like he was praising the formation, but he was actually praising himself.
“We can only go step by step and break it with strength! The Tribulation will take at least 8 hours. We also have sufficient numbers, so we don’t need to rush!”
Huayun nodded slightly and instructed whilst looking at the Xuanwu Statue in Qingming’s hand.
“I spent a lot of effort acquiring this item from the Heavenly Place. I was even scolded badly by your Great Senior Master for this. Qingming, remember to use it carefully and don’t let it get damaged!”
“Tsk tsk, of course you are to be scolded! This Protector Saint Beast went through a huge battle 2,000 years ago and its injuries aren’t fully healed. It should be used to protect our Daoling Vast Habitat’s luck for the next 20 years, but you insisted on taking it out. How could a teacher not be annoyed?”
Longxuan laughed and mocked. His tone appeared unconvinced.
“I always felt that you are too careful this time! To make use of a God Realm Protector Saint Beast for such a person who just stepped into the Spirit Realm. It is like using a machete for a cow to kill a chicken…”
“Using a machete for a cow to kill a chicken? You are ignorant! Yuanmeng died because of him! In terms of strength, wasn’t Yuanmeng much stronger than this Saint Beast? Didn’t he still die a month ago?”
Longxuan kept silent and didn’t speak. In his heart, he was thinking about how Aokun had killed Yuanmeng and it had nothing to do with Zong Shou.
That kid didn’t have any ability to deal with Yuanmeng.
However, he didn’t have any intentions to retort, instead looking warmly and in a daze at Huayun.
No matter if those words were true or false, she couldn’t be bothered, she just loved her husband’s manly nature.
A cold light shone in Huayun’s eyes, “Anyway, we must settle it this time! We can’t be careless and mustn’t give them any chance!”
Qingming’s expression turned serious once more, “Disciple understands! I won’t let Great Senior Master down!”
Only then did Huayun laugh and wave his sleeves to instruct Qingming to leave. The latter turned into a speck of light, tearing open the space and entering the Cloud World.
Moments after Qingming left, Huayun looked into the distance at the void.
He spread out his Spiritual Sense over dozens of worlds to search around, but he didn’t find anything.
Following this, he heard Zhongguang laugh coldly, “Those two people can really take it! I really want to see whether Aokun and that Old Man Dragon Shadow would continue to sit still and not do anything when Zong Shou dies? Whether or not they can still resist?”
When the people here heard this, they all exchanged glances with one another and laughed. Huayun’s lips curled coldly.
Even if they didn’t come, to be able to kill such a person like Zong Shou was a small gain.
If they did come, then it would be even better. He wanted to personally suppress that evil bug for another 10,000 years to let him die alone.
It was also time for that nosy Dragon Shadow to die!
※※※※
On the Heaven Reaching Platform, Zong Shou felt a chill down his spine. He squinted and looked into the sky.
When one went through tribulation, their Spiritual Sense was connected to the Heaven and Earth. This was the best time for them to comprehend the Dao and it was also when his Spiritual Sense would be the sharpest.
This was why he could sense the few strong auras which were hidden in the void as well as that cold killing intent.
It sent a chill into his bones and his heart sunk to his stomach.
In just the blink of an eye, he felt his body and limbs turn warm once more.
This was because his Spiritual Sense felt another thought which was consoling him and supporting him.
It was Old Man Dragon Shadow!
His teacher actually came. The aura he felt this time was much stronger than before and it was brimming with life. He couldn’t sense any signs of him weakening or dying.
End Realm! It was also a Grand Dao!
…It had the connotation of how the Heavenly number was 50 and the one represented a person himself. There was also the feeling of one law turning into 10,000 currents and 10,000 currents returning back to that one law.
His path was really correct!
In his heart, he was joyous for Dragon Shadow. With him reaching the End Realm, he would be able to live long and not worry about death.
It seemed like he could save the few Extreme Purple Pills he got from the underground lake.
He also felt sad and pitiful for Huayun and Longxuan.
Since his master had come, then these few people would only have a tragic ending…
Aokun had planned this for several years and once he started, it wouldn’t be as simple as just forcing them away!
A few years ago, he could already sense the violent intent within Aokun.
The hatred of life and death, unwilling to share the world with them, that could be only paid by blood!
Sighing, Zong Shou shook his head. It seemed like there would be no way to solve his problems with the Taoist Faction.
However, his eyes were filled with cold disdain. He gazed around, from dozens of miles away, he could see the tempted and eager expressions of those people.
Although he wiped out those 40 sects in the Central Cloud Continent, it didn’t mean that all the problems were settled.
Some of them had relatives and friends and there were numerous disciples outside.
In the outer region, there were many Spirit and Celestial Realm disciples who didn’t return.
However, they were all gathered here at this time. The Vengeful Energy surged into the Heavens, killing intent gathered and was pretty much able to drown him.
If eyes could kill, then the Heaven Reaching Platform under him would have been broken several times.
The flames under him had already turned pure black. He absorbed that Vengeful Energy and turned it into flames to strike at his Dao Foundations.
As long as he was not careful, the Light Containing Pellet and the eighteen talismans in his Soul Ocean would be corrupted by them.
Zong Shou stood quietly within, not feeling anything at all. Instead, it was Little Gold and Hanxi within his sleeves who couldn’t take it as they flew out.
Xiaori and the Lightning Winged Dragon both flew out and headed to the side. Their eyes were filled with terror.
This flame was a test for Zong Shou’s heart. He killed 300,000 people, all of whom were Cultivators. The Vengeful Energy was extremely vast and endless.
Even if they were indirectly hit, these 4 Protector Beasts wouldn’t be able to take it.
Zong Shou didn’t care. A person who was able to train in the Massacring Sword Path was either a mad man or someone whose heart was extremely firm.
He stood on the spot and quietly gained control of the newly formed internal energy and Soul Power.
In that instant, nine consecutive rays of white light shot down from the cloud layer.
Zong Shou didn’t hesitate to take out the Nameless Sword. Many sharp blood-colored Sword Lights charged into the night sky, forming a net, entangling with the ball of white light.
It was first suppressed and slowly retracted. In the end, he could only protect 100 feet in front of the hall. Just as he was unable to do so, the Sword Light suddenly flashed.
Like cutting vegetables, it caused the thin specks of light to scatter into the air.
Moments later, another 9 balls of light formed in the sky 49,000 feet above the platform.
This was the Nine Glory Xuankong Cycle of Reincarnation Tribulation!
It was formed by many different Grand Paths. One would not be able to break it and crush it unless one found its source and roots.
Even if one smashed it, it would grow within several breaths.
Zong Shou’s eyes squinted in seriousness.
It was practically impossible to find the source and root of the Nine Glory Light after just a single attempt.
After each try, there would be some changes and it would also become stronger.
It would never end, recovering and appearing, the cycle would be never-ending!
Until the person either is unable to take it or is ground to death due to a lack of strength.
The top Spirit Realm Tribulation was really worth its title!
When such a thought rose up, the nine balls of white light shot down once more.
Suddenly many Sword Shadows stabbed toward the sky to block. His Spiritual Sense tried to search for its foundations right as they clashed.
Only when the white light fell in front of the hall, did he smash it.
In the blink of an eye, four cycles had passed.
During the fifth one, another eight swords smashed eight balls of light. Right as the last one appeared in his eyes, his right hand which was wielding the sword, tightened and he focused.
This one should be fire! Then, why not try it out?
Without hesitation, his sword attack changed, becoming really heavy and thick, like dirt turning to stone.
It slashed into the ball of light and directly struck toward where he deduced he could lock down the source of it.
In just a few breaths, he felt that it wasn’t right. The Sword Light slash turned into a stir and the ball of light also exploded.
