Chapter 126: I Want To Be The Master Of The Human King
At this moment, Chu Xuan felt as if the fog had been lifted and he could see the truth.
Ding Yue carried the fate of the Southern Region and was its son of fate.
Wang Luo and Xiao Liang were the same for their respective regions.
The other unknown people from the other two regions were also the same.
They were all born due to those fate treasures. It was one of the mysteries of the Northern Zone and they were destined to find the lost fate treasures.
Generally speaking, if nothing unexpected happened, the fight for the fate treasures would take place among Ding Yue and the other children of fate. There was even a high possibility that the fate treasures would fall into their hands.
However, the situation surrounding the Asura Ancient Land was complex.
Even though they were children of fate, it would not be easy for them to obtain the fate treasures.
Chu Xuan knew that Qin Ying had a contingency plan prepared to obtain the fate treasure of the Southern Region.
The other four regions' fate treasures were there too.
How could the human Divine realm expert not be aware of this?
How could the demon race Divine realm elder not be aware of this?
All three groups had made preparations to participate in the battle for the position of the human king. In that sense, one could only say that their confidence was grounded in their efforts and plans.
Chu Xuan already knew where Qin Ying reincarnated. The latter wanted to borrow the power of the Luo family.
What about the demon race Divine realm elder?
Was the evil imperial court related to the demon race expert?
What about the human Divine realm expert?
Of the five regions of the Northern Zone, the children of fate from three regions were related to Chu Xuan.
If he could take all of the children of fate from the five regions as his disciples…
Chu Xuan was very tempted.
If he could nurture the first human king in the Northern Zone, would not such an achievement trigger the system's rewards?
The rewards from such a monumental feat would definitely be extremely generous, right?
He had to control the situation in the Asura Ancient Land.
Chu Xuan made a decision in his heart. No matter what, the five regions' fate treasures could not fall into the hands of the human Divine realm expert or that demon race Divine realm elder.
He had to be the one that decided the battle for the Northern Zone's human king.
The one who ascended and became the Northern Zone's human king had to be one of his own people.
He would be the mastermind behind the scenes, the Master of the human king!
However, if he wanted to control the situation surrounding the Asura Ancient Land, he had to first become strong enough.
In fact, even reaching the Divine realm might not be enough.
The title of the first human king of the Northern Zone was something that probably tempted countless people and factions.
He had a premonition that people from the other four zones would participate.
There might be Divine realm experts supporting those participants as well.
Although Divine realm experts had not appeared in this era, except in historical records and legends, it did not mean that all of the Divine realm experts from ancient times were dead.
There were definitely Divine realm experts hidden in the Ancient Desolate Zone.
Moreover, this zone was the most mysterious and vast one of the nine zones.
He had to increase his strength as soon as possible. Fortunately, there were still thirty-four years before the Asura Ancient Land opened, so he still had plenty of time.
After understanding the secrets behind the Asura Ancient Land, Chu Xuan allowed Buddha Nanwu to cultivate. The latter had condensed his Buddhist golden body and recovered his peak strength.
His aptitude and talent had both increased.
The door to the Divine realm was now unlocked.
Chu Xuan picked out some Buddhist techniques from the Three Lives Buddhist Scripture and passed them to Buddha Nanwu.
These would help him to break through to the Divine realm before the Asura Ancient Land opened.
This way, Chu Xuan would have Divine realm subordinates to do his bidding, and he would be able to control the entire situation.
No matter who came to participate in the fight for the fate treasures or the fight for the position of the Northern Zone's human king, the winner had to be someone under him.
It was time for Qin Ying to be groomed.
His chances of victory were still very high.
Chu Xuan would take him in as an in-name disciple.
Although he looked young, he was actually an old monster.
Since Qin Ying had been looking for a domineering body tempering technique, Chu Xuan would teach him one.
The battle for the human king in the northern region.
In terms of talent, Ding Yue and Wang Luo were not suitable to become the human king. They did not have the necessary charisma, nor did they have the kind of domineering aura that could strike awe into the inhabitants of the entire territory.
Only Qin Ying had these qualities. After all, he was once an overlord who unified the Southern Region.
He had even wanted to unify the Northern Zone.
Qin Ying was now a woman, so even if his consciousness was that of a man, it could not change the fact that he was biologically a woman.
Of all the human kings of the past generations, there had not been a single female human king, right?
Thinking this, Chu Xuan became excited. He would nurture the first female human king of the human race. What kind of monumental achievement was that?
The system's reward for achieving this would not disappoint him for sure.
However, Qin Ying was only one of the candidates.
Ren Changhe was about to break through to the Divine realm, and would do so in time to participate in the Asura Ancient Land.
At that time, he would ask Ren Changhe to come.
Ren Changhe, who cultivated the Yin-yang God Combination Seal, and had comprehended the Dao of Yin-yang and the Dao of life and death, would definitely not be weak.
Moreover, when he had been in the Heaven realm, he was already unparalleled among cultivators in the same realm.
In the five regions of the Northern Zone, there were two children of fate that were not under his control.
Although Su Xian'er came from the Central Region, she was not the Central Region's daughter of fate.
Chu Xuan wondered, 'Could he get his hands on those children of fate?'
It would probably be quite difficult.
The waters in the Southern Region indeed ran a little deep.
It had been a long time since he contacted Du Yuan. It was time for him to make his way to the Southern Region.
Du Yuan, who was already at the fourth level of the Supreme realm, was not weak. He cultivated the concealment technique passed down by Chu Xuan, so it would not be a big problem for him to pass through the blockade and enter the Southern Region.
It was time to remove the Myriad Heavenly Mirror's mark on Du Yuan's body in case he needed it later.
He immediately took out the Myriad Heavenly Mirror and contacted Du Yuan.
"Your Excellency!"
Du Yuan greeted him respectfully.
"You can head to the Southern Region now and wait for the right opportunity. Remember not to expose yourself."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Chu Xuan gave him a few more instructions.
At the same time, he gave him a communication talisman. When Du Yuan arrived in the Southern Region, if he needed the latter's assistance, someone would send a message.
After ending the connection with Du Yuan, he retrieved the mark. The Myriad Heavenly Mirror could now mark someone or someplace else.
The Myriad Heavenly Mirror only had three positioning marks, which Chu Xuan felt was far too few.
Chu Xuan speculated that after he broke through to the Heaven realm, and gained the ability to transport living things, the number of positioning marks would naturally increase.
It was time to meet Qin Ying.
It was time to put on a show again.
The position of the human king of the northern region was nothing. The situation couldn't be too small.
He should focus on the position of the emperor.
The position of human king of the Northern Zone was only the starting point.
As for whether Qin Ying could ascend to those heights or not, that was not important at the moment. He had to deceive him first.
The seven-colored divine light was activated.
The Heaven-shaking Divine Image appeared, and the Myriad Laws Daoist Robe was enveloped by the Great Dao's charm.
One look would be enough for anyone to tell that he was a supreme existence that had surpassed the Divine realm.
The Myriad Heavenly Mirror soon connected to Qin Ying's location.
In the image projection, Qin Ying was sitting cross-legged on a large rock on the cliff. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked rather worried.
Qin Ying had already broken through to the fourth level of the Emperor realm.
His cultivation speed was not slow.
Chu Xuan estimated that once he broke through to the ninth level of the Emperor realm, he would suppress his cultivation base and would not break through again until the Asura Ancient Land opened.
Those who surpassed the Emperor realm would be excluded from the competition for the fate supreme treasures.
Qin Ying was very distressed. He had still been unable to find a powerful body tempering technique.
For the sake of obtaining a powerful body tempering technique, he had even stooped so low as to deceive Zhu Yuanbai with a few sentences. The latter had been so enthralled that he had rushed off to look for a body tempering technique for Qin Ying immediately.
However, in the end, the body tempering technique he found was still lacking in terms of domineering aura.
His talent and aptitude in this life was not poor. He had the blood of the human king running through his veins, and he had even cultivated the ultimate technique of the human king's Luo family.
However, he was still unable to reach the peak combat strength he had in his previous life.
He knew that as long as he cultivated a domineering body tempering technique, his strength would surpass that of his previous life.
Only then would he have the confidence to win the fight for the fate supreme treasures.
Even if he had a contingency plan to obtain the fate supreme treasure, such a long time had passed; who knew if the contingency plan would work?
He was up against a Divine realm expert.
There was no way the methods and plans of a Divine realm expert would be easy to deal with.
Chapter 127: Deceiving Qin Ying
Qin Ying sighed.
Even if he borrowed the power of the Luo family, he was not 100% sure that he could win this battle.
There were many people eyeing the position of the human king of the Northern Zone.
Even if he could not become the human king, simply obtaining the fate treasure would be a great achievement.
The opening of the Asura Ancient Land this time would not only involve his enemies and friends from his previous life, but other forces attracted by the fate treasures and the position of the human king as well.
Moreover, in order to convince the Luo family to fully support him, he would have to demonstrate sufficient strength, and that he had the means to succeed.
In this life, he was a woman. Had it not been for the fact that his big brother had already surpassed the Emperor realm, the Luo family would not have supported him with this many resources.
Everything in this world depended on strength and means.
No matter what, he had to find a powerful body tempering technique. Only by reaching the peak of his previous life's combat strength would he have the confidence in emerging victorious in the battle.
Qin Ying's bare minimum was that he had to retrieve the fate treasure of the Southern Region.
As long as the other party could not gather all of the fate treasures of the five regions, he would not be able to become the human king.
Qin Ying was not willing to give up. The first human king of the Northern Zone could not be a traitor who tried to stir up a bloody storm and destroy the human race!
Back then, he had joined hands with the experts of the Northern Zone to dismantle the traitor's conspiracy.
Qin Ying lowered his head to look at his body and sighed.
How should he face his brothers in this life?
Suddenly, a circle of rippling light appeared in the air.
Qin Ying stood up and grabbed his halberd.
Was there another assassin?
Who would dare to assassinate him in the Luo family's territory?
Someone could actually break through the Luo family's defenses and sneak in?
Ripples continued to spread out as an image projection appeared.
Qin Ying was shocked by the sudden appearance of what he saw. His beautiful eyes widened and his small mouth opened slightly.
When Chu Xuan saw Qin Ying's current appearance, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.
Whenever he thought about how this peerless beauty was actually a man, he always felt strangely uncomfortable.
Even though Qin Ying's appearance was extremely beautiful and alluring, he could barely bring himself to look at him!
Chu Xuan's heaven-shaking figure was bathed in seven-colored divine light, and the charm of the Great Dao surrounded his body.
What kind of expert was this?!
Qin Ying was incredibly shocked; even a Divine realm expert was vastly inferior to this mysterious person.
"Luo Ying greets Senior!"
Qin Ying was an old monster and the famous Great Qin Emperor after all, so he managed to immediately calm himself down and bow respectfully.
This was the Luo family's territory, yet the person in front of him had used some sort of mysterious technique to come here. His strength was unfathomable.
Could this person be the Luo family's king?
The Luo family's king had disappeared countless years ago in his previous life, just like the other legendary experts.
If this person was not the Luo family's king, who else could it be?
"Luo Ying?"
Chu Xuan laughed and said, "Are you Luo Ying or Qin Ying?"
Qin Ying's expression changed. How did the other party know his identity?
Countless years had passed since he reincarnated.
After such a long period of time, given the assistance of the human king's Dao artifact, no one should have been able to discover his identity.
No one knew that he would reincarnate into the human king's Luo family.
None of his brothers back then knew either.
"Who are you?"
"Kid, don't be so nervous. I can see through anyone's background easily."
Chu Xuan chuckled lightly, exuding the demeanor of a senior expert.
"Our meeting is fated. Meeting me is your great fortune."
Qin Ying took a deep breath. The other party was able to see through his background so easily, completely ignoring the powers of the human king's Dao artifact.
From this, it could be seen just how powerful the other party was.
He was definitely an existence above the Divine realm.
"May I ask if Senior is the Luo family's king?"
Qin Ying thought about it. The other party was very likely to be the Luo family's king. That was probably why the human king's Dao artifact had not warned him and did not obstruct the other party's probing.
After all, the human king's Dao artifact was the property of the Luo family's king.
If this person was the Luo family's king, then this would really be a great opportunity.
Qin Ying was excited. If he obtained the recognition of the Luo family's king, the entire Luo family would dote on him.
Thinking back, he did have some connection with the Luo family's king.
"Luo family's king?"
Chu Xuan chuckled and said, "Many years ago, I did indeed come across that little fellow. He's quite talented."
Qin Ying's heart trembled. The Luo family's king was a little fellow in this person's eyes?
"Senior, you are?"
"I'm me."
Chu Xuan seemed to be immersed in his memories. He paused for a moment, and then said, "It was a long time ago, but countless little fellows in the myriad realms all called me the eternal, immortal, handsome, unparalleled, mighty, virtuous, supreme and holy number one Dao master in the myriad realms."
1
What an awe-inspiring name!
Qin Ying was stunned when he heard that.
When he looked at this mysterious person, whose might could shake the heavens, and who could weave the Great Dao into clothes, he did not have the slightest bit of doubt.
As an expert who had once comprehended the Great Dao, he deeply understood how terrifying it was for someone to be able to weave the Great Dao into clothes.
He was once a peak Heaven realm expert, and had only begun to comprehend the Great Dao…
But what about the figure in front of him?
This person weaved the Great Dao into a robe and wore it.
From this, one could see how terrifying this expert was.
It was a great opportunity!
Qin Ying's heart began to beat violently.
"Qin Ying pays his respects to the incomparably handsome, mighty, and virtuous supreme sage!"
Qin Ying quickly knelt down.
Chu Xuan was very satisfied with his performance. Qin Ying was very decisive and directly knelt down.
Chu Xuan opened his mouth and said, "This venerable one slept for a while and woke up recently. Your meeting with me can be considered fated. I'll make an exception and accept you as an in-name disciple. Are you willing?"
Qin Ying was stunned. In-name disciple?
He was so talented, and possessed the bloodline of a human king, yet hewas only qualified to be an in-name disciple?
"Do you think you deserve better?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Qin Ying said hurriedly.
"Qin Ying greets Master!"
Qin Ying hurriedly kowtowed three times respectfully.
In-name disciples were in-name disciples. Senior did not take him in as a true disciple because he was not talented enough.
However, becoming the in-name disciple of such an existence was also a great opportunity in itself.
Qin Ying was very decisive. When the opportunity came knocking, he would grasp it tightly. Given time and effort, an in-name disciple could also become a true disciple.
Now that he had successfully accepted Qin Ying as an in-name disciple, there would be one more person under him who could participate in the fight for the position of the Northern Zone's human king.
Moreover, the Asura Ancient Land had been planned and devised by Qin Ying. The probability of him emerging victorious was the greatest.
"Since you are now my disciple, do you have any requests?" Chu Xuan asked.
He was very curious as to whether Qin Ying would directly ask him to help him ascend to the position of human king and kill his enemies.
"Master, your disciple is lacking a body tempering technique!"
Qin Ying immediately thought of the body tempering technique that he had been searching high and low for.
"Is that your only request?"
Chu Xuan said meaningfully, "Perhaps you would like to discuss that trap that you set up."
Qin Ying's heart trembled. His Master was too terrifying. He even knew about this?
"Dear Master, I, Qin Ying, have never relied on others for power in my life. I will not lose to others in the same realm. I will personally take back what belongs to me, and I will personally take revenge!"
Qin Ying said domineeringly.
As expected of the Great Qin Emperor, the peerless overlord who had once unified the Southern Region.
He was indeed bold and courageous.
"I'm glad that you have such courage and insight."
Chu Xuan looked very pleased and said, "Since you've become my disciple, I can guarantee that you will only fight others of the same realm there. I will keep the big shots away from you. However, whether or not you emerge victorious is completely down to your own efforts and capabilities."
Chapter 128: Tyrant Dragon Body Technique
Qin Ying was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Master!"
He had never lost to anyone in the same realm.
The only thing he was worried about in this fight for the fate supreme treasures was that human Divine realm expert.
If that expert had surpassed the Emperor realm, but was not allowed to interfere, then there was nothing for him to be afraid of!
He would definitely retrieve the fate supreme treasure!
He would definitely kill his enemies!
"This is your fate," Chu Xuan said indifferently.
"You also wanted a body tempering technique. This venerable one has countless such techniques, but they are all too powerful for you in your current state. You can't cultivate them. Even the so-called Divine realm experts that you are talking about aren't able to cultivate these."
He was just messing with him. Of course, Chu Xuan was just bragging.
Qin Ying was shocked. Body tempering techniques that even Divine realm experts could not cultivate… how powerful were those techniques?
Chu Xuan thought for a while, and then said, "I have three body tempering techniques that I created in my younger days. They are a bit trashy, but they happen to be just right for you to practice at your level."
The corners of Qin Ying's mouth twitched. Trashy body tempering techniques were just right for him to practice?
Still, the body tempering techniques that Master mentioned should be very powerful, right?
"These three body tempering techniques are the Thirty-feet Golden Body technique, the Hundred-battle Demon Body technique, and the Tyrant Dragon Body technique. You can choose one."
The Thirty-feet Golden Body technique was a body tempering technique that belonged to the Buddhist sect. It was a body tempering technique recorded in the Three Lives Buddhist Scripture.
The Hundred-battle Demon Nody technique was a body tempering technique that the system had rewarded him with some time back.
The same was true for the Tyrant Dragon Body technique.
Chu Xuan was only using the first two techniques to make up the numbers. The one he wanted to pass on to Qin Ying was the Tyrant Dragon Body technique.
He believed that Qin Ying would also choose this body tempering technique.
After all, he had always been looking for a domineering body tempering technique.
The Tyrant Dragon Body technique was undoubtedly domineering.
When it was cultivated to completion, it would allow its user to exude fierce dragon might, and it could even condense dragon armor which would attach itself to the user's body. Divine weapons could not penetrate this armor.
"Master, I choose the Tyrant Dragon Body technique."
As expected, Qin Ying did not hesitate at all and immediately chose the Tyrant Dragon Body technique.
"When this technique is cultivated to completion, it will allow you to exude dragon might and condense dragon armor to protect your body. It can be considered average."
Chu Xuan waved his hand and flicked a small book over to Qin Ying.
The small book contained the Tyrant Dragon Body technique that he had jotted down while using the Sagemaster's Halo. When Qin Ying opened the small book, he could directly comprehend the technique.
As for how much he comprehended, that would depend on the level of his talent.
The direct transmission of the technique would only happen once, which was when he opened it for the first time.
This was also one of the abilities of the Sagemaster's Halo.
Qin Ying was extremely excited. He took the cultivation technique book and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master!"
"En."
Chu Xuan nodded and continued, "Since you are my disciple, I should tell you that the Nine Zones are just a small corner of the myriad realms. As for a mere human king of the Northern Zone? Even if one becomes the human king of the nine zones, they are nothing in the grand scheme of things."
"You must remember that if you cultivate diligently, you will be able to travel to the myriad realms with me. Be it the human king of the Northern Zone, or the human king of the nine zones, they are just stepping stones on the path that you must take in order to cultivate."
"Only by stepping into the myriad realms of the heavens will you be able to truly begin your journey as an expert."
Qin Ying was shocked. "The myriad realms of the heavens?"
"Cultivate diligently and don't slack off. If you manage to step into the myriad realms of the heavens in the future, I will make an exception and accept you as my true disciple."
Chu Xuan's majestic voice gradually faded into the distance.
The circle of light disappeared, and with it the image projection.
Qin Ying was still in shock. The nine zones were just a small corner of the myriad realms?
He felt as if he had stumbled upon an incredible secret.
Could it be that the experts who had disappeared had all left the nine zones and headed to the myriad realms?
How could they travel to the myriad realms?
The Desolate Ancient Zone!
The first place Qin Ying thought of was the Desolate Ancient Zone. After all, the Desolate Ancient Zone was the most mysterious and vast zone among the nine zones. It hid countless secrets.
Even the Heaven realm experts were unable to discover its secrets.
It had always been rumored that the Divine realm experts were hidden in the Desolate Ancient Zone.
Now he knew.
The Divine realm experts had gone to the Desolate Ancient Zone in order to find the way to the myriad realms of the heavens.
Qin Ying was extremely excited.
"I, Qin Ying, will definitely go to the myriad realms of the heavens and become Master's true disciple!"
"After becoming the Northern Zone's human king, I, Qin Ying, will definitely become the first human king of the nine zones!"
"Only then will I have the qualifications to become a true disciple of Master!"
At this moment, Qin Ying's blood was boiling. He had regained his ambition of unifying the Southern Region!
After a long while, he finally calmed down.
He then looked at the book in his hand.
"I hope that the trashy cultivation technique that Master mentioned will meet my requirements."
He was regretting his decision at this moment. He should have asked Master for a powerful cultivation technique.
Given Master's strength, any cultivation technique that he imparted to him would be more powerful than the Luo family's cultivation techniques.
He had made a mistake!
When he flipped open the book, he suddenly felt as if the words on the book had come to life, surging directly into his mind.
The information regarding the cultivation technique surfaced in his mind, and he immediately entered a state of comprehension.
After an unknown period of time, Qin Ying awakened from his state of comprehension. He had already grasped the Tyrant Dragon Body technique.
Looking at the book, his mouth was agape with shock.
His master was too powerful. Simply opening the book allowed him to enter a state of comprehension.
After putting away the book, Qin Ying became excited. The Tyrant Dragon Body technique was even more powerful than he had expected.
Once he cultivated it to completion, it would be even more powerful than the overlord body technique he had used in his previous life.
If he had this body tempering technique in his previous life, coupled with his overlord physique, his strength would have been even stronger.
When the Tyrant Dragon Body technique was cultivated to completion, Divine weapons would not be able to harm him!
Moreover, when he used the Tyrant Dragon Body technique, he would not only exude a domineering aura, but also fierce dragon's might.
It was incomparably powerful.
Qin Ying immediately began to cultivate the Tyrant Dragon Body technique.
As for whether his fair and delicate female body would end up becoming muscular and masculine, that was something that did not matter to him at all.
He just needed to become stronger.
So what if his body was full of muscles?
Standing on the cliff, Qin Ying looked down. He could only see his chest and could not see his toes. Once again, his heart was filled with grief.
Why did he reincarnate into a woman?!
It was too tragic!
"I made a mistake!"
Qin Ying suddenly sighed.
He had actually forgotten to ask his master if there was a way to turn a woman back into a man without being rejected by the Great Dao.
He wanted to be that fierce man from his previous life.
What a mistake!
Qin Ying was extremely vexed. He had only focused on obtaining a body tempering technique. Why did he forget about finding a way to become a man again?
He had been careless!
The next time he met his master, he had to ask his master for advice regarding this matter.
Chu Xuan stretched lazily. He had accepted Qin Ying as his in-name disciple, taught him the Tyrant Dragon Body technique, and broadened his horizons. He was feeling pretty accomplished right now.
The human king had to be one of his disciples. It was useless for anyone else to fight over that position.
That being said, he had to improve his strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would not be able to control the whole situation.
Su Xian'er was on the verge of reaching the Emperor realm. She was about to break through.
Next was Ding Yue, and then Wang Luo.
Chu Xuan also expected much from Chu Pingfan.
He glanced at Chu Yun. She was cultivating in the ancestral residence of the Chu family. He guided her into the pocket dimension so that she could increase her cultivation and reach the truth realm quickly.
It was time for the Chu family to produce an Emperor realm expert.
Chu Pingfan was holding a wooden saber in his arms. He was immersed in his cultivation of the Saber Dao. Occasionally, he would swing the wooden saber around.
This was the saber technique he had learned from the Heaven's Fate Saber scripture.
Suddenly, a message came through from the communication talisman.
It was from Bao Hongyan. A great battle had broken out in the Bai Sheng Mountain's ruin.
Many experts had fallen.
An ancient Emperor realm expert's soul had been revived!
Chapter 129: Emperor Realm Soul Possession
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
An ancient Emperor realm expert's soul had been revived?
Was it the remnant soul of an expert from the Bai Sheng Mountain sect or an intruder?
Chu Xuan took out the Heaven-spying Mirror and cast his gaze over the situation at Bai Sheng Mountain.
He was not worried about Ding Yue.
Did it matter if an Emperor realm expert's soul was revived?
It was just a remnant soul. Moreover, after such a long time, it was undoubtedly already weak.
It might be able to deal with an ordinary truth realm or even a half-step emperor realm expert, but it would not be able to deal with Ding Yue.
This was even before one considered the divine soul secret technique that Ding Yue cultivated. The divine sword in his body was sufficient to kill any remnant souls of that level.
An intense battle had broken out in Bai Sheng Mountain's ruin.
It was rare for half-step emperor realm experts to join hands.
A slightly illusory figure floated in the air above the ruin.
Each strike he made was extremely powerful.
There were already several truth realm experts' corpses on the battlefield.
"Blood Soul Devouring!"
The Evil King roared and made a grabbing motion with his hand. Blood gushed out from the ground, and he seemed to be bathed in the blood mist.
The rolling bloody mist turned into chains which swept toward the remnant soul.
"Tie him down so that I have time to refine his soul!"
The Nine Swords Mountain elder, Liu Pingfeng, the red-bearded elder, and the beautiful woman from the Floating Flower pavilion all had dark expressions.
They attacked continuously, intentionally or not, so that the Evil King's bloody mist chains could not completely lock onto the remnant soul.
This was a remnant soul, so even though it belonged to an Emperor realm expert, it was already weak.
However, if the Evil King refined it, his cultivation would definitely advance beyond the half-step emperor realm, and become infinitely closer to the Emperor realm.
His strength would then surpass theirs.
Neither Liu Pingfeng nor the other three wanted to see the Evil King surpass them.
"I, the Evil King, have always been righteous. You bunch of despicable people actually didn't work together to deal with this fellow. Instead, you were constantly on guard against me. What despicable people! Bah!" The Evil King cursed.
'Go to hell!'
'You are the most evil and brutal person here. How could you even call yourself righteous?'
Liu Pingfeng and the others cursed in their hearts.
Further away from the battlefield, Ding Yue stood motionless with his sword in hand. He did not make a move, but was instead vigilant of his surroundings.
Han Yingmeng was not far away from him.
The others were all terrified. There was actually an ancient Emperor realm expert's soul that had been awakened. At this moment, they did not dare to rashly continue their exploration of the core of the ancient ruin.
"Die!"
The Emperor-realm remnant soul let out a furious roar. Light blossomed as it blasted out a ferocious attack that instantly enveloped the Evil king.
"Not good!"
The Evil King's expression changed.
The remnant soul had sacrificed part of its soul to use this soul attack.
Soul attacks were always difficult to defend against, so the Evil King did not dare to act carelessly. He raised his hand and grabbed a corpse of a truth realm expert that was lying on the ground.
It instantly shattered and turned into blood mist.
Bang!
The blood mist roiled as if it was boiling. It transformed into a rolling river of blood in front of him.
The Evil King retreated quickly.
Chi chi!
The soul attack hit the river of blood, emitting sizzling sounds. It was almost as if a piece of red-hot iron had fallen into the water.
The boiling blood mist evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, the soul attack had broken through the blood mist defense that the Evil King had erected.
However, thanks to the boiling blood mist, its attack power was greatly weakened. It could no longer threaten the Evil King.
"Die!"
The Emperor-realm remnant soul seemed to be ready to fight to the death.
The remnant soul released a dazzling light which shattered in the blink of an eye. It transformed into four rays of light that attacked Liu Pingfeng and the other three.
"Not good!"
Those four people's expressions changed drastically and they retreated frantically.
The Nine Swords Mountain elder's sword was floating in front of him. He kept condensing his sword intent in an attempt to block the remnant soul's attack.
This was the remnant soul of an Emperor realm expert. Perhaps it even belonged to an existence above the Emperor realm.
Even though its cultivation level had fallen and its soul was weakened, it was not something that half-step emperor realm cultivators like themselves could compare to.
Because of this, the remnant soul could fight against the five of them by itself.
The Evil King's methods were indeed impressive. He used the flesh and blood of truth realm experts to activate his evil techniques to block the remnant soul's attacks.
Liu Pingfeng and the other three were slightly weaker.
The red-bearded elder had already swallowed a pill to reduce the impact of the soul attack.
Liu Pingfeng unfurled his fan and turned it into a shield. Spiritual power surged through it, and the power of his pseudo domain was pushed to its limit.
The beautiful woman from the Floating Flower Pavilion was surrounded by flowers. Each flower was like red-hot iron, emitting a scorching aura.
At this moment, the five half-step emperor realm cultivators had used all their technique.
The Evil King, who was the first to be attacked, was the most relaxed.
He was defending while retreating, so the encirclement around the remnant soul was naturally broken.
Four soul attacks instantly surged out. The soul power that was originally attacking the four others suddenly converged, and the remnant soul condensed again.
Liu Pingfeng and the other three's expressions changed. They had been fooled. The other party had used a secret technique to split its soul, deceiving them into thinking that it had launched a desperate attack.
After forcing them to retreat, the remnant soul was condensed again.
If the remnant soul escaped the ancient ruin, it would not be a good thing for them.
There was no Emperor realm cultivator in the Southern Region, barring that useless one from the Black Moon Tower who did not interfere in the affairs of the Southern Region.
If the Emperor realm expert's soul left the ancient ruin, and occupied the body of an expert or searched for precious medicines to recover its soul, it would mean that there would be an Emperor realm expert in the Southern Region.
They were all used to power by now. How could they tolerate the existence of an expert who was more powerful than them?
Moreover, before the ordained time, the experts behind each of their factions would not come to the Southern Region, so they could continue to be big shots in the Southern Region for now.
However, this would all change if the remnant soul escaped. Its existence would be like a knife was hanging above their heads. They would no longer be able to act freely without fearing repercussions.
After the remnant soul condensed again, it turned into a streak of light. It did not escape, but directly rushed toward Ding Yue.
"Your body belongs to me!"
It was actually trying to occupy Ding Yue's body.
Liu Pingfeng and the others' expressions changed greatly. Once the other party occupied Ding Yue's body, he might recover his Emperor realm strength instantly.
Everyone present was going to die!
However, it was too late to stop him.
Ding Yue looked coldly at the remnant soul that was charging at him. He had no intention of dodging the attack at all.
How could a weak remnant soul even dream of occupying his body?
"Run!"
Han Yingmeng said anxiously.
Her body moved and she rushed over. With a wave of her hand, a hundred flowers fell and enveloped Ding Yue directly. She intended to help Ding Yue block the remnant soul.
"Woman, don't meddle!"
Ding Yue glanced at Han Yingmeng and said unhappily.
Boom!
The remnant soul rushed into Ding Yue's body.
"It's over!"
Han Yingmeng's face was filled with despair.
At this moment, there were many huge sword mountains around Ding Yue's spiritual will. They were emitting intense sword intent.
These sword mountains protected his spiritual will in the center.
As soon as the remnant soul rushed in, it was surrounded by layers of sword mountains. Each sword mountain was extremely sturdy.
They also emitted a strong sword intent.
"How is this possible?!"
The remnant soul was shocked. Why was the opponent's mind and spiritual will so strange?
From its perspective, no matter how weak its soul was, it was easy for it to devour an expert's mind and spiritual will.
This man had a powerful body and was not a half-step emperor realm cultivator. He had not condensed a divine soul, so it was not supposed to be difficult for it to occupy the body.
However, it was surrounded by layers of sword mountains as soon as it entered. The strong sword intent almost crushed its soul.
Chapter 130: The Young Sect Master Of The Bai Sheng Mountain Sect
When Ding Yue saw the remnant soul enter his body, he immediately mobilized the layers of sword mountains to crush it from all directions. He wanted to crush the remnant soul.
This was a remnant soul of an Emperor realm expert. After refining it, his spiritual will would definitely increase in strength. When he broke through to the Emperor realm later on, the divine soul he condensed would be even more powerful.
Ding Yue immediately activated the Hundred Tempering divine technique. At the same time, he activated the Immovable Mountain technique. He wanted to crush the remnant soul and completely refine it.
Ordinary truth realm cultivators would not be able to refine the soul no matter what technique they used.
However, Ding Yue, who practiced the Immovable Mountain technique and the Hundred Tempering technique, was able to crush the remnant soul and refine it.
The remnant soul was shocked.
Boom!
Under its frenzied attacks, the sword mountains collapsed one after another, but more and more sword mountains kept appearing in their place.
It was as if there was no end to them.
Run!
It had to run!
The remnant soul was shocked. It could not understand why a truth realm cultivator's spiritual will was so terrifying.
Finally, after losing two-thirds of its soul power, the remnant soul finally escaped.
"Trying to run? Can you escape?"
Ding Yue sneered.
The endless sword mountains surged forth and instantly set up layers of sword mountains around the remnant soul. At the same time, the sword in his hand moved.
It emitted a faintly discernible sword intent.
Soul Slaying sword!
From the moment the remnant soul had rushed into Ding Yue's body to the moment it had fled in a sorry state, only a brief instant had passed.
Han Yingmeng and the others were shocked to discover that the remnant soul had suddenly reappeared in an extremely sorry state.
Following that, numerous mountains formed by spiritual will appeared.
What was even more terrifying was that each mountain emitted intense sword intent.
Like a millstone, they surrounded the remnant soul and continuously grinded it downt.
"What's going on?"
Everyone was shocked by Ding Yue's technique. What kind of secret technique was this? It was too powerful.
It had actually crushed an emperor-level remnant soul despite Ding Yue's own cultivation having only reached the ninth level of the truth realm.
Shua!
A sword gleam flashed by, and the remnant soul was sliced into two halves. Drowned under the surging sword intent, it gradually shattered.
Soul Slaying sword!
It was a Sword Dao that directly cut through one's soul.
This type of Sword Dao was undoubtedly extremely powerful.
The Nine Swords Mountain elder's face turned increasingly gloomy. After seeing this one sword strike, he knew that Ding Yue had already surpassed him.
The remnant soul suffered heavy injuries. The endless sword mountains kept coming, grinding the remnant soul into pieces.
The sword mountains also channeled the remnant soul's power back to Ding Yue.
Ding Yue's eyes narrowed, and he felt as if he was floating.
He was taking in too much soul power; to the point that it might even harm him instead of strengthen him.
He frantically circulated the Hundred Tempering divine technique, continuously refining and compressing the soul power to strengthen his spiritual will.
At the same time, he relied on the newly-refined soul power to continuously refine more sword mountains, increasing their scale and numbers.
Ding Yue stared at the Nine Swords Mountain elder with contempt and sneered, "Do you want to fight? Come at me!"
He was extremely arrogant.
The Nine Swords Mountain elder was somewhat tempted. Ding Yue seemed to have encountered a problem at this time. It was as if the absorbed soul power had caused his spiritual will to soar out of control.
His gaze turned briefly toward the red-bearded old man, and then to Liu Pingfeng, and then at the Evil King and the beautiful woman from the Floating Flower Pavilion.
"What are you looking at? This king disdains bullying the weak with numbers. There's no way I will make a move!"
The Evil King looked at him with disdain; he did not stay any longer and left.
The pretty woman from the Floating Flower Pavilion paused for a moment, but did not say anything. She also turned around and left.
"If you're not attacking, I'm leaving."
Ding Yue smiled coldly and turned around to leave.
Liu Pingfeng and the other two looked at each other, finally giving up on the idea of making a move.
The chaos caused by the remnant soul had come to an end.
Chu Xuan could not help but sigh. Ding Yue was indeed worthy of being the son of fate of the Southern Region. His harvest here was truly big.
After the remnant soul was refined, his spiritual will became even stronger. It had almost reached the limit of the truth realm.
He was one step closer to the Emperor realm.
Once he broke through to the Emperor realm, his soul would become even stronger.
Just as Chu Xuan was about to deactivate the Heaven-spying Mirror, he suddenly discovered an aura emerging from the depths of Bai Sheng Mountain's ruin.
It was an aura of someone who seemed to be infinitely close to reaching the Emperor realm.
There were living people in the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin?
How was that possible?
How many years had passed? Even if it was an Emperor realm cultivator, this person's lifespan should have long been exhausted.
Could it be that this person had used some kind of special method or some kind of supreme treasure to hibernate until now?
Other than that, there was no other possibility.
Was this person the successor of the Bai Sheng Mountain sect?
Boom!
An explosion suddenly erupted, which attracted everyone's attention.
A figure spat out blood and flew backward.
"There's someone in the ancient ruin!"
The Evil King spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out. His expression changed drastically as he roared crazily.
A burly figure rose up from beneath the ruin.
His white hair was draped over his shoulders and his facial expression was resolute. He looked like he was only 26 or 27 years old.
He wore a white robe and there was a mountain symbol embroidered on his robe. The aura he exuded was extremely powerful and was almost comparable to a first-level Emperor realm cultivator.
The few evil generals quickly attacked while catching the Evil King who had flown out.
The white-haired youth walked over step by step and suddenly made a punching motion.
Boom!
A truth realm expert who was digging for treasure in the distance was instantly killed with one punch!
Everyone's expressions changed.
They all gathered together.
"Put down everything you took!" The white-haired youth said coldly.
"Who are you?"
Liu Pingfeng gathered all of the experts from the Great Qian Dynasty and asked fearfully.
"Bai Sheng Mountain's young sect master, Bai Shaokong!"
How was this possible?!
The Bai Sheng Mountain sect had been destroyed a long time ago. EvenEmperor realm experts would not be able to survive until now.
The lifespan of an emperor was not infinite.
"Empty words without proof. You snuck in here, right?"
Liu Pingfeng laughed coldly.
He did not believe that the other party was Bai Sheng Mountain's young sect master. He had to be a powerful itinerant cultivator who had snuck into the ruin, and was trying to pass himself off as the successor of the Bai Sheng Mountain sect.
However, since when did the Southern Region have such a powerful itinerant cultivator?
"Hmph!"
Bai Shaokong snorted coldly and attacked without hesitation. He threw a punch at Liu Pingfeng.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three punches…
Three punches was all it took to send Liu Pingfeng flying while vomiting blood.
"Everyone, quickly join forces. Otherwise, we will be killed by him!"
Liu Pingfeng's expression changed drastically.
Too strong!
The pressure he sensed was stronger than when he faced Qin Keyun back then.
The expressions of the beauty from the Floating Flower Pavilion and the red-bearded Elder's changed, and they prepared to join forces without any hesitation.
However, the Nine Swords Mountain elder frowned and did not immediately express his stance.
"You are strong. We will meet again!"
Just as the red-bearded elder and the beauty from the Floating Flower Pavilion were about to attack, the Evil King unexpectedly fled.
"Evil King!"
The red-bearded old man shouted angrily.
"Join forces? If our hearts aren't aligned, why should we? This king is already injured, and I'm afraid that you guys will try pulling some dirty trick on me!"
The Evil King snorted coldly and decisively led his men to flee.
In any case, he had already gained a lot from this trip to the ancient ruin.
As for whether Bai Shaokong would become a source of big trouble, he was not concerned about it.
The evil imperial court would not be destroyed so easily.
His actions made sense!
The beautiful woman from the Floating Flower Pavilion also prepared to leave with her forces.
"Trying to leave? Leave behind the things you stole from my Bai Sheng Mountain sect!"
Bai Shaokong snorted coldly and raised his hand to throw a punch.
"Go to hell!"
The Evil King threw out a blood-red bead. In an instant, blood mist churned and condensed into a blood-red fist that smashed out in response.
Boom!
Bai Shaokong's attack was blocked. He raised his hand, and was about to attack again.
"Sir, you should stop while you're ahead. Do you think that the Bai Sheng Mountain sect is still the same Bai Sheng Mountain sect from before?"
The Nine Swords Mountain elder spoke up.
Bai Shaokong stopped.
