Tang Sen tossed away the severed arm of Mi Jing that was in his hand. He forcefully stomped towards the southern battleground where Jiang Lin was located. The heavens and earth trembled, and a great rift tore open the earth, spreading southward from the size of an arm’s thickness. Amid the “crackling” rumblings, it turned into an abyss that was dozens of feet wide.
Amid the shaking of the land and mountains, Tang Sen yelled towards the chaotic Jiang Lin forest in the distance: “Move.”
This warning wasn’t meant for the Mi clan’s warriors, who were already struggling to stay steady. It was directed towards Martial Ancestor Tang Qian.
Having had a good understanding of Tang Sen’s style, Tang Qian immediately ascended mid-air the moment the earthquake began. He knew well what the First Head of the Martial Hall planned to do.
As the earth split open, revealing a deep and unseen chasm, the squad that had previously scattered to attack Tang Qian could only flee to the sides. Some slower ones didn’t manage to escape in time and fell into the rift screaming. Those martial artists who had avoided the spreading fissure had no time to celebrate. The earth, originally the color of brown soil, had turned a dazzling golden hue. It churned like the waves, and before they could react, the waves of golden rock pushed them into the gorge, plunging them into the bottomless abyss.
For a moment, the formerly bustling southern part of the Jiang Lin forest was left with only the screams of those falling into the ravine. No one escaped. Tang Sen hunched over, touching the ground with both hands. His Fierce Qilin Heavy Earth Armor erupted in a golden light, which poured into the earth below, seemingly connected with the heavens and earth. Once again, the ground trembled, giving the sensation that the entire land was in vibration. The chasm, which had opened several feet wide, was finally slowly closing.
“Is it that terrifying?” Though it wasn’t the first time watching Tang Sen take action, Tang Luo was still astonished, “How can such a person exist? What happened to the notion of each relying on their own strength!?”
The more he thought about it, the more disheartening it became. It seemed that no matter which world he was in, extraordinarily gifted individuals always existed. It was as if these people were born to crush others’ spirits. Blessed with both talent and resources and extremely hardworking, having such individuals in front of you could always evoke a sense of decadence in someone, making them feel like giving up martial arts practice.
Looking back, every book tells people that as long as you work hard, you will reap rewards. However, not a single book dares to say that hard work alone could make you the best in the world.
He used to think that the authors were being reserved, but now he understood that they were merely being kind. Surely they couldn’t tell you that if your talent was lacking, even if you were to give your life to hard work, you still wouldn’t be the best, could they…
Watching Tang Sen approaching him with an expressionless face as if he had just done a trivial task, Tang Luo could only stop his wild thoughts, shaking his head helplessly as he met him.
“Father, let’s return to the city first. The Heavenly Bird Feather Guards should arrive soon.” Tang Luo said to Tang Sen. His hearing had been greatly enhanced by the enhancement of his waist’s aqua pattern, allowing him to faintly hear the flapping of wings from the spiritual birds fifty miles south.
“You and Ancestor go back first.” Tang Sen shook his head, gazing towards the south, “I will stay here.”
Since Mi Jing dared to attack Tang Luo, he wouldn’t let this pass. The peace of Xiling was due to an agreement and mutual restraint between the two clans. But from the moment Mi Jing brazenly launched the Divine Wood Strike against Tang Luo, all restraints were gone. He would wait here to demand an explanation from the Mi clan’s elders. If they handed over Mi Jing, it would be over. If not, he wouldn’t hesitate to start a fight!
“Be careful then.” Knowing he could not involve himself in a conflict of this level, Tang Luo had no intention of lingering. The sound of the flapping wings of the spiritual birds from the south was getting louder, indicating that his presence here would only hinder Tang Sen.
When Mi Jing had locked onto his spiritual soul just now, had he not been protected by the Yin-Yang Grinding, he would’ve found it difficult even just to turn his head. This showed that it was still somewhat difficult for him to face a martial artist from the Fierce Realm.
After nodding at Tang Luo in acknowledgment, Tang Sen immediately sat down cross-legged to recover his strength. Even when dealing with the Mi clan’s elders, he would not take anything lightly.
Having never seen his father acting so solemnly, Tang Luo felt a deep heaviness in his heart. He circulated his Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique, following Martial Ancestor Tang Qian in mid-air back towards Xiling.
Not long after the two left, hundreds of heavenly spiritual birds flew in from the south. There were Dapengs, Luan Birds, Phoenixes, and Divine Eagles.
The common trait among them was that they were at least twice the size of their kind. This allowed these flying spiritual birds, that aren’t known for their strength, to easily carry people.
At the very front of the hundreds of Heavenly Bird Feather Guards was a carriage drawn by a Charm Resisting Luan. The carriage made entirely of Charm Resisting Heavy Silver shimmered in the silver light. With hundreds of dragon carvings and thousands of hanging tassels around its frame, it was exceptionally luxurious.
Inside the silken canopy stood a spirited old man in blue robes. While he appeared elderly, his complexion was ruddy and without wrinkles. However, his aged eyes and white hair revealed his true age.
Seeing the once lush Jiang Lin become ruins, towering Jiang Trees knocked about haphazardly, and the south where many members of the Mi clan should have been standing was deserted; even the land seemed to have been ploughed over, Mi Yang frowned deeply.
What startled him more was that Mi Jing, who should have been protecting Mi Chu, was nowhere to be found, not to mention his precious great-grandson.
There was only one person from the Tang clan capable of turning the battlefield into a dead silence before the arrival of the Tian Yu division:
“Tang Sen!!!” A hoarse voice filled with rage echoed from the south. The angry old man in blue robes shouted at the man sitting cross-legged on the ground, “Where is my grandson!?”
In his heart, the old man was still holding out a glimmer of hope, wishing that the Tang clan would be reluctant to hurt Mi Chu.
However, when Tang Sen stood up and uttered two faint words, the old man flew into a rage!
The colossal spiritual power of the peak of the Fierce Realm transformed into a greenish divine light surrounding his body, rushed toward the man on the ground. Meanwhile, the fully recovered Tang Sen was not to be outdone. He turned the ground beneath him into a golden rock and leaped with all his might. With a sonic boom and accompanied by the shaking of the earth and mountains, the golden light shot towards the sky along the trajectory of the descending green light.
The blending of the golden and green lights in the sky was like the most violent collision of spirit arts. In an instant, the originally gentle spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to ignite and exploded in the moment of their clash.
The entire space quaked, waves of exploding spiritual energy reverberated in the sky, the gales cut like blades, spreading in all directions. Hundreds of birds in the south took the brunt of the blast and hurriedly flapped their wings to stabilize their bodies. The riders on their backs were having trouble keeping their eyes open due to the forceful wind.
After a brief collision, another rumbling sounded in the sky. The green light surged, while the golden light seemed to have taken a heavy blow. After a sonic boom, it fell back to the earth at a faster speed than it had ascended. Its powerful force was more than the soft soil and rocks could withstand. In a flash, it was smashed into the ground.
As the golden light entered the ground, the earth in a radius of several miles seemed to have been struck a heavy blow. Cracks started spreading in all directions from where the golden light struck, like the earth itself couldn’t withstand the force of the impact.
