Chapter 568: As a Martial Artist, You Still Have a Long Way to Go
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Everyone on-sight watching the battle could feel their eyes popping out from their sockets. Most were in extreme daze.
It was a battle between the Celestial Sect of Wonder's immediate disciple and the Great Void Sect's immediate disciple. Furthermore, both of them were females.
Bai Xiqian, at that point in time, still appeared delicate and fragile. Everyone thought that something felt off about her using the Huntian Demon-Breaking Whip while using the Eight Styles of Huntian in battle. However, there was a tacit harmony.
"Cultivators of the martial way are normally brimming with vitality like the morning sun. Before she even acted, how could she conceal her inner spirit? How could she wield such an offensive attack while still maintaining such a fragile-looking exterior?" Someone asked in shock.
The person next to him responded slowly, "This is the mythical side of the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void and the Eight Styles of Huntian. It was similar to the Withered Glory Zen of the Buddhist cultivators, which concealed the vitality of life under a withered facade."
"For this move of the Great Void Sect, it concealed in a weak-looking body an explosively dynamic power."
"Her appearance may appear delicate and weak. However, when she attacked, her physical form brimmed with extraordinary power. Bai Xiqian had already understood the secrets of this move. As she did not reveal it in terms of her appearance, many people will have missed her powers out, particularly since the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void has no fiercer move."
The sharp contrast of Bai Xiqian attracted everyone's attention. However, the moment she attacked, attention from her was diverted to another person.
The other person as a young woman whose red hair burned like a flame. With her more dominating and fierce aura, she attracted everyone's attention away from Bai Xiqian.
Faced with Bai Xiqian's attack, and her kamikaze form of attacking, Yue Hongyan did not care too much. The long Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax in her hands came crashing down on her opponent's head as if she wanted to cut Bai Xiqian in half.
"Taoist Yue is brimming with a strong killing intent," said Bai Xiqian. Her face was still expressionless. Her frail form, wielding the Huntian Demon-Breaking Whip, trembled slightly in mid-air.
In that tremble, her entire body disappeared into the void. Even her shadow was difficult to locate.
The location of Bai Xiqian's formation did not change in everyone's vision. However, everyone on-site could feel that Bai Xiqian was no longer at her original position.
If Yue Hongyan did not change her move, she would not hit her target.
The Flow of Light and Space was a powerful move of the martial way of the Great Void Sect. It was mainly used for concealment and offense. It was one of the few moves in the world where cultivators under the Nascent Soul stage could manipulate the void. In this aspect, it was the equivalent of Mount Shu Sword Sect's Shaoze Sword.
Within the Great Void Sect, the most powerful moves were no weaker than the Heaven-Ascending Spell Shi Tianyi had used.
However, what was strange was that while Bai Xiqian used the Flow of Light and Space and her physical form was no longer in Yue Hongyan's striking range, the giant metal whip was crashing down onto Yue Hongyan's head did not appear to be affected. It continued to smash Yue Hongyan with an apocalyptic power.
While it appeared that the two of them would both lose from this exchange, Bai Xiqian had already placed herself out of harm's way.
However, at that instant, Bai Xiqian suddenly felt that her form in the void was tightly locked.
Something appeared to have latched upon her agile form and she appeared incapable of moving independently.
She was slightly shocked and then, she was the tip of Yue Hongyan's Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax. Space appeared to twist as everything twisted around the tip of the Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax, which appeared to be the center of a vortex.
This center was unimaginably heavy. It was as if everything in the void was collapsing to this point.
Just like a black hole.
This black hole, that seemed capable of devouring space itself, was sucking Bai Xiqian's form out of the void forcefully even though she had cast the Flow of Light and Space!
This was Yue Hongyan's Space-destroying Spear Technique!
After she formed her aurous core, her ultimate move was raised to a next level and it became even more powerful.
Through the working of the black hole, Bai Xiqian not only failed to escape from Yue Hongyan's striking range, she was actually pulled closer to Yue Hongyan. If this continued, she would be killed by Yue Hongyan.
Bai Xiqian came to this conclusion at the first possible instance. Her eyes flashed as the power of her Huntian Demon-Breaking Whip became even more powerful.
Two opposite energies, one Yang and one Yin, burst from the black metal whip at the same time. A powerful attraction force could be felt from the whip.
It was different compared to the Space-destroying Spear Technique, which caused space to collapse. This power was formed by the powerful energy derived from Yin and Yang. It was akin to a grinder as it absorbed everything within it, grinding them to pieces.
At this instant, Yue Hongyan felt her movement slow. A powerful force appeared to pull her towards the Huntian Demon-Breaking Whip. She felt as if she was in a quicksand and escape was impossible.
Yue Hongyan did not panick. Instead, her eyes flashed as she bellowed, "Nice!"
Faced with such a powerful move, Yue Hongyan had no intention to retreat or defend herself. Instead, she let her innate power burst till its maximum point as she continued with her offense.
In her dictionary, 'retreat' did not exist. For her, it was offense after offense!
Bai Xiqian's eyebrows tightened and finally, her face changed color. The Huntian Demon-Breaking Whip in her hands brimmed with a powerful energy that prematurely burst forth. The whip slammed onto the Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax.
"Boom!"
It was as if a patch of space had been destroyed. The soundwave from the impact alone was enough to cause some lower level cultivators to feel dizzy. Some of them collapsed.
Everyone was shocked and many moved back quickly. They did not want to be hurt.
The cultivators with higher mastery all wore serious expressions on their faces. They were shocked that such a terrifying power came from two female combatants who were deeply skilled in the martial way and brimming with raw, physical force.
The first contact the two sides made so terrifying. Any mistake would have killed one of them immediately or worse, killed both.
After the first move, the two fought at an increasing pace. In a few rounds, they exchanged a few more blows. The two of them appeared to have turned into female dragons as they dominated the entire scene.
"While they're temporarily at a draw, Yue Hongyan of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is only an early-Aurous Core stage cultivator, right? While disciples of the Celestial Sect claim to be invincible in their own tiers, that was probably in comparison to other, normal cultivators. Now, her opponent was an immediate disciple of the Great Void Sect. If she could defeat a late Aurous Core stage cultivator with her current mastery, that will be truly shocking." Everyone around them was awe-struck.
However, some Nascent Soul stage cultivators looked at the battle worriedly. Bai Xiqian's current power was able to challenge some Nascent Soul stage grandmasters. It may even be more powerful than some Nascent Soul stage grandmasters with lesser battling experience.
However, Yue Hongyan was even more shocking. Despite her early Aurous Core stage mastery, she was able to battle Bai Xiqian to a draw.
What made everyone more shocked was the fact that Yue Hongyan appeared to be moving faster and faster. Her expression became more and more relaxed.
In reality, Yue Hongyan did feel more relaxed. In her opinion, her opponent may be brimming with mana and possessed a powerful ultimate move. However, the pressure she felt was nothing compared to what she had felt in the Void Battleground against Marquis of Jinghuan's mid-Aurous Core stage avatar.
There was no other experience. Bai Xiqian, who spent the majority of her life cultivating in the depths of Mount Baiyun, could possess the most mythical spell and be extremely well-versed in terms of the martial way. However, she could not compare to Yue Hongyan's experience from a hundred battles, where her will and instinct were forged from mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
For a martial artist, this was the most important thing.
Unless the disparity in power was able to suppress one party, a martial artist who relied only on practice could never surpass a martial artist who had experienced a hundred battles. A chasm existed between the two in terms of experience and willpower.
Bai Xiqian's expression was seriously serene now. She was aware of the changes in the battle as well as her disadvantage compared to Yue Hongyan.
"Xiqian heard that Taoist Yue had another master. I wonder how is he doing?" In the battle, Bai Xiqian suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Do the two of you still keep in touch? If the two of you meet, I wonder how will you two react."
Yue Hongyan's entire body froze and her movement slowed by half a second.
Her interaction with Zhang Lie surfaced in her mind in a succession of rapid images. The last image in her mind was the sight of a limitless and endless sea of green fire.
In the sea of green fire, the many people of the Covenant of Liefeng, many of whom she had interacted with on a daily basis, were all reduced to ashes, including the women, elderly and children.
In the sea of green fire, a young man smiled at her. This is a scene that would always be carved in her memory. It was like a form of sleep paralysis. Anytime she thought of it, she would be paralyzed.
Her movement slowed, but Bai Xiqian's didn't. The Huntian Demon-Breaking Whip sliced through the air in a straight line like the tail of a dragon and came straight towards her.
Yue Hongyan froze for only a moment. She reacted to it quickly. However, she lost the upper hand. She could only parry the blow with her pole-ax.
"Huang Dang!" Yue Hongyan's Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax was whacked out of position by the Huntian Demon-Breaking Whip. Her body lost cover at that instant.
At that moment, Bai Xiqian advanced forward and quickly closed the distance. She was almost right next to Yue Hongyan. Her empty left hand seized his opportunity as her index finger and middle finger stretched and extended. They went straight for Yue Hongyan's cheeks.
Her originally slim and slender fingers appeared to have changed completely. Her index finger was black and brimming with Yin energy while her middle finger was white and brimmed with Yang energy.
Her two fingers gave off two diametrically-opposite powers and as they struck at the same time, the two different powers were unimaginably sharp.
However, at this point, Bai Xiqian's gaze met Yue Hongyan's. Her heart sank.
She realized that Yue Hongyan, whom she believed had lost her focus and was now in a position of disadvantage and danger, did not show any sign of fear. Neither was she vexed by her mistake. Her two bright-red pupils burned intensely and sent a chill down her spine.
"The angrier this person is, the scarier..."
Just as this thought surfaced in Bai Xiqian's mind, she heard Yue Hongyan say coldly, "As a martial artist, you still have a long way to go."
With that, Yue Hongyan steadied her stance and her left fist went to her waist as she made her body into a thick pole.
Her two feet rested steadily on the ground, which tremored for a while. Her entire body was akin to a pillar that was firmly entrenched on the ground and had merged with the ground into one entity. The aura she gave off was super heavy.
In that stance, her entire body became like a heaven-supporting pillar or a mountain, firm, and ever-standing.
When her left fist went to her side, she did not punch out. However, at that point, it was filled with an explosive destructive power. It was as if a series of explosions had gone off in the heavens above!

Chapter 569: Hang You in Mid-Air
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"Duo!"
With a faint shout, Yue Hongyan roared as a loud sound came from her orifices. Her originally slim body began to expand and in a matter of seconds, she became a humongous goddess!
She was taught Lin Feng's martial art ultimate move, the Heavenly Hammer of the Eight Trigrams!
Her left fist, which was by her side, smashed out at this moment. With an earth-shattering force, it received Bai Xiqian's Two Fingers of Yin Yang.
Before Yue Hongyan lashed out, Yue Hongyan's body trembled with a powerful force. That was the rumble of thunder and now, with that punch, it was like a crack of lightning!
Bai Xiqian was unable to respond to it fast enough. Her index and middle fingers landed on Yue Hongyan's iron fist and were almost broken.
The second move that followed the Two Fingers of Yin Yang was the Huntian Demon-Destroying Whip that was carving a path through the sky right now as it came towards Yue Hongyan. However, due to the impact of the first blow, the second attack was affected too.
Yue Hongyan took this chance to turn her fortunes around. She waved her Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax, which was out of range at the moment, and a roaring golden dragon made out of light appeared and came towards Bai Xiqian.
In that instant, the fortunes of battle were reversed. Bai Xiqian was at a disadvantage. Yue Hongyan's pole-ax was aimed straight at her and the golden dragon appeared to be rushing to devour her.
Bai Xiqian's warm and gentle smile disappeared completely from her face. Her expression was unimaginably serious.
Her empty left hand which floated elegantly by her side began to dance elegantly in the air as a heavy Yin aura surrounded it. The Yin aura formed a vortex with the movement of her left hand.
At the same time, her right hand continued to wield the Huntian Demon-Destroying Whip. It brimmed with hard, Yang energy and its violent force was pushed to its limit. Then, the Yang energy burst forth from the whip and too formed a vortex
The waves of Yin and Yang energies swirled around her left and right hand. Together, they squeezed to the center and then began to spin in opposite directions. They clashed non-stop with each other and from within, a powerful and terrifying energy was borne. It made Yue Hongyan's pole-ax unable to advance a single step more.
The black and white mana that swirled around Bai Xiqian was absorbed into the Yin Yang vortex, greatly increasing its power.
Not only that, Bai Xiqian never stopped moving. Her left hand fluttered in the wind as her right hand wielded the Huntian Demon-Destroying Whip. Powerful waves of mana continued to continue as they turned into vortexes after vortexes and merged with her moves.
As more and more waves Yin and Yang energy were absorbed, heaven and earth began to form as the vortex split into two parts, trapping Yue Hongyan in the center.
The two types of energies continued to spin like two grinders. They were bent on reducing everything between them into fine dust.
Life, space, time, form, soul, mana, spiritual energy, everything must be obliterated and reduced to nothing. Nothing must be left.
The waves of Yin Yang energy seemed to push the grinder downwards as they continually increased its power. Its increase was both exponential and endless.
The Yin and Yang energies were the pushing force and the heavens and earth were the grinders. Together, they sought to crush everything.
That was the pinnacle move of the Great Void Sect's Yin Yang Mantra of the Void! The Yin Yang crushed while the heavens and earth ground!
Everyone around them, particularly the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, turned pale upon seeing this technique.
Like the Supreme Evil-Suppressing Pillar, this move was one of the powerful signature moves of the Great Void Sect. No Aurous Core stage cultivator should be able to cast it. Its appearance was like cheating and once again cast the outcome of the battle into doubts.
Even if a Nascent Soul stage cultivator used this move, everyone would still be in shock.
Its power commensurated with its difficulty. Even in a sect filled with genii like the Great Void Sect, very few people can master it.
Till now, everyone agreed that it was no longer a matter of who was in the mid-Aurous Core stage or the late-Aurous Core stage, Bai Xiqian's power was way superior to Ding Runfeng's.
Even if Ding Runfeng was a pure Yang entity, even if he was successful in cultivating the Pure Yang Righteous Heart Mantra, even if he was capable of challenging the Samsara Sect's (Path of Hell) grandmaster to a battle of spell formations, which was the latter's forte.
Once Bai Xiqian revealed her Yin Yang Heaven Crushing Earth Grinding Spell, everyone knew who was the stronger one with a single glance.
Once she deployed that spell, an irreversibly terrifying power crushed Yue Hongyan's offense into dust.
Bai Xiqian looked at Yue Hongyan and said, "You are powerful. Really, really powerful. If we fight solely based on martial prowess, I am not your enemy."
"This spell, as I have yet to fully master it, I hope that the Master of the Celestial Sect has prepared some protective object for you. If not, you may actually die as I don't think I can control myself."
Yue Hongyan smiled brightly. While her entire body creaked and cracked due to her opponent's attack, her will to power was never stronger.
In such situations, Yue Hongyan chose not to retreat or hide. Neither did she choose to defend herself.
Her choice was to continue attacking!
The red-haired young woman gripped on her Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax and sliced a circle in the air. It was as if she was lifting something heavy. With an exquisite hand motion, she tossed the first wave of Bai Xiqian's attack to one side.
When everyone saw that, their eyes glowed as they began to exclaim.
While her style of battling was to charge forward relentlessly, Yue Hongyan's battling techniques were all-rounded. She appeared to know every trick in the book.
Yue Hongyan stared coldly at Bai Xiqian before her and said, "The old me may have lost my cool had you mentioned Zhang Lie before me. However, everything has changed."
"There are only two outcomes when I meet Zhang Lie. Either I kill him in revenge, or he kills me."
"Like the battle between us now. Either you kill me, or I kill you!"
With that, Yue Hongyan's Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax began to dance in a frenzy. A terrifying Avīci Infernal Gale began to spread. Bright red light and a heavy, fog-like storm of wind shrouded the battlefield. In the fog and the red light, one could see a purple-gold dragon dancing.
Upon seeing the Avīci Infernal Gale, everyone began to retreat. They rushed to avoid it as if this scene from Hell itself struck fear in everyone's hearts.
The red-haired young woman before them was able to control every single aspect of the battle, from the energy she used to responding correctly to every single change. She did all these almost instinctively, as if she was born for battle.
It was not that the Yin Yang Heaven Crushing Earth Grinding Spell was not strong enough. However, in terms of battling instincts, the disparity between Bai Xiqian and Yue Hongyan was far too wide. A three-year-old child holding a sharp knife cannot possibly beat an empty-headed grown person.
From afar, an ordinary-looking black-robed young man looked at Yue Hongyan's intense battling calmly as he nodded his head and said, "After joining the Celestial Sect, you have indeed become much stronger and eye-catching."
Then, he laughed softly, "However, if you want to kill me, that's impossible. As you have the protection of the Master of the Celestial Sect, I will not find you too."
The black-robed young man looked down. He appeared like an ordinary Aurous Core stage cultivator. However, that was not who he really was.
"However, Hongyan, we'll meet soon."
He then disappeared without a trace. Yue Hongyan, who was battling at the moment, felt a tiny spark of lightning through her brain. However, it was only momentary.
"Duo!" She grunted. In battle, she devoted all of her attention to what was happening before her and expunged all unnecessary thoughts. The Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax in her arms danced even more intensely as it sliced a mythical pattern in the air and once again broke Bai Xiqian's Yin Yang Heaven Crushing Earth Grinding Spell.
As Yue Hongyan destroyed Bai Xiqian's attacks one-by-one, her own power continued to increase non-stop.
The energy she spent countering Bai Xiqian's attack did not go away. Instead, her next attack became even stronger.
She was like a wave in a sea. As her energy accumulated, coupled with the presence of the Avīci Infernal Gale, she gradually became a tsunami.
Finally, the pole-ax in Yue Hongyan's arms vibrated as a red light flashed and the whole pole-ax began to glow as brightly as a supernova.
Tri Avīci Slaughtering Spear Technique, the Third Technique, Meteor Strike!
To Yue Hongyan, Bai Xiqian's power could not compare to the Marquis of Jinghuan's avatar. However, for the red-haired girl with the spirit of a lioness, the best enemy is a dead enemy!
Her Meteor Strike Spear now was much more powerful than the one she used against the Marquis of Jinghuan's Shenyang Spear. It was also Yue Hongyan's most powerful martial art move.
The Yin Yang Heaven Crushing Earth Grinding Spell was extremely powerful but it too had a weakness in its center where the two energies of Yin Yang spun in opposite directions like gears. Yue Hongyan took advantage of this fatal flaw and launched her attack.
If she was in the Immortal Soul stage, then the very stars in the sky would have been shattered too.
At this moment, Yue Hongyan only had an Aurous Core level mastery. The frenzied power punched straight through the void and Bai Xiqian's spell was shattered.
The space where her spell used to be was like a canvas with an entire portion torn out.
The twisted space caused those who saw it felt as if the heaven and earth were inverted at that particular spot.
Bai Xiqian coughed and blood flew from her mouth. Yue Hongyan's pole-ax pierced her vital spots and a piece of jade began to shine brightly as it stopped the Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax. If not for that, Bai Xiqian's body would have been impaled by Yue Hongyan.
Even till here, Yue Hongyan did not stop. With her pole-ax, she lifted Bai Xiqian into the air.
It was as if Bai Xiqian was impaled by Yue Hongyan on her pole-ax.
In that instant, the white-robed young woman was in a terribly sorry state. All of her air and her posture were gone.
Everyone who saw this sight was shocked as they could not believe it. "The Yin Yang Heaven Crushing Earth Grinding Spell was defeated? A direct disciple of the Great Void Sect, a late-Aurous Core stage disciple, was defeated by an early-Aurous Core stage disciple?"
"Stop!" Ding Runfeng regained his senses as he bellowed in rage. Just as he was about to come to her rescue, someone else beat him to it.
The sky above everyone's head split open as a white cloud turned into a giant hand. it covered the sky and the sun and came straight towards Yue Hongyan.
At the same time, the space behind Yue Hongyan broke open. Purple gas spewed forth and they too formed the shape of a hand. The other hand rushed towards the white clouds hand!
Yue Hongyan did not think twice. A white light shone above her head and in the center of the light, a crown glowed brightly.
With the help of the Golden Crown of Angels and Demons, Yue Hongyan's power became even more ferocious as the Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax roared and the shape of a single-horned, golden dragon began to form.

Chapter 570: Xiao Budian Goes Home
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
With the help of the two Nascent Soul stage magic items, Yue Hongyan's Meteor Strike Spear became more ferocious as it directly shattered Bai Xiqian's protective light. With one strike, she sent Bai Xiqian flying.
Blood splattered in mid-air as Bai Xiqian's white robes turned scarlet. Yue Hongyan carved a giant laceration in Bai Xiqian's waist, causing her to bleed profusely.
The white-clouds giant palm and the purple gas giant palm clashed before the former rushed to catch Bai Xiqian's floating body.
Even with the protection of the white clouds, Bai Xiqian continued to cough blood. She appeared spent and her pupils became vacant.
The void shook and the Xuan Lin Holy Man stepped out from it. His two eyes, which normally brimmed with a thousand emotions, were hollow. All that was left was a deep sense of calm, as if he had realized the inevitability of everyone's mortality.
Ding Runfeng stepped behind quietly without saying anything.
Lin Feng's outline too appeared in the void. He looked emotionlessly at the Xuan Lin Holy Man.
The battle between Yue Hongyan and Bai Xiqian demonstrated both combatants' martial skills and spell techniques. A mistake from either side would have killed someone, which brought to mind the famous saying, "Bullets have no eyes."
Neither side was willing to show mercy as the cost of mercy was death.
The Xuan Lin Holy Man looked at Lin Feng and was just about to say something when his eyebrows furrowed together suddenly. He turned his head to another direction.
It was the direction of the Shi Family Mansion in Xiling City.
The Xuan Lin Holy Man, together with Ding Runfeng and Bai Xiqian, turned around and stepped into the void and disappeared.
Yue Hongyan, Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu and Jun Zining bowed to Lin Feng. He did not say much as he did the same as the Xuan Lin Holy Man with them.
Now, there was no sign of the battle by the lake, only a crowd of curious on-lookers.
Everyone was shocked by the battle they had just witnessed. No one would have thought that Bai Xiqian, despite being so powerful, would lose to Yue Hongyan.
Some Nascent Soul stage grandmasters looked at each other and thought, "While Bai Xiqian lacks combat experience, her ultimate moves were extremely powerful and her mana was at its peak. Even if we fight her, we may find her hard to deal with. Who knew that Yue Hongyan is this powerful?"
"If she continues to progress at this rate, her future is limitless."
During the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, Yue Hongyan took the title as the top Foundation Establishment stage disciple. While her fame gradually increased and people started to recognize her, she wasn't as eye-catching as she was only in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Today, she defeated a late-Aurous Core stage disciple of the Great Void Sect with only an early-Aurous Core stage mastery. Her name would spread throughout the Divine Lands.
"I am anticipating the fight between the Shi brothers more and more," sighed someone in the crowd. "It's a shame I didn't get to see the fight between Wang Lin and the elder Shi. I bet that was even more exciting."
The gaze of the person next to him turned towards the direction of the Shi Family Mansion in Xiling City and said, "Just now, the Xuan Lin Holy Man looked towards the direction of the Shi Family Mansion. Could something be happening there?"
Indeed, something was happening there.
At that moment, a handsome youth with long black hair that came down his shoulders stood in the front hall of the Shi Family Mansion. He was surrounded by a group of people.
The lowest mastery of those surrounding him was the Aurous Core stage. There were some Nascent Soul stage grandmasters too and no lack of powerful late-Nascent Soul stage strongmen.
However, their expressions were all very serious at that moment. They faced the youth carefully and the tension in the air was palpable.
The front of the hall appeared covered in light and fog. In the light and fog, one could see runes. That was the protective spell formation of the Shi Family Mansion. At that moment, it was on stand-by.
The young man was, of course, Shi Tianhao. Earlier on, he was the half-dead Xiao Budian whom his parents tried to save him by fighting their way out of the Shi Family Mansion.
The members of the Shi Family knew that he was reborn. However, when he once again appeared before them in their home, everyone still fell into a shocked silence.
Some of them found it awkward and shameful. Some of them were tearful and some of them were absolutely terrified.
At the same time, some of them brimmed with hostility. "Shi Tianhao, don't forget that no matter who you acknowledge as your master, the blood that coursed through your veins is the blood of the Shi Family. As someone of a later generation, how can you appear before our doorstep as if you are here to seek vengeance? If your parents, or even your grandfather, were here, they would severely reprimand you till you know the meaning of 'respect'!"
Shi Tianhao gazed at him calmly as his body trembled. A powerful force came from his body and in a matter of seconds, rushed before the Nascent Soul stage grandmaster, sending him flying.
The rest were both shocked and furious. However, only two Nascent Soul stage grandmasters were able to react on time, two golden dragons flew and sliced their way through space.
A whirl appeared behind Shi Tianhao which turned into a black hole. It then swallowed the two golden dragons.
The two Shi Family grandmasters were furious. Just as they were about to attack, Shi Tianhao punched out and yet it appeared that he had never moved at all.
His retreat was well-executed. He escaped the attack radius of his enemies.
Shi Tianhao stood with his hands behind his back and a neutral expression on his face. To him, it was as if he did nothing extraordinary.
However, the two Nascent Soul stage grandmasters were seriously hurt by him. Their mana had been knocked clean out by Shi Tianhao and their nascent souls too shook in fear. Their internal organs appeared to have swapped positions and they were completely immobile.
"Earlier on, you did not personally hurt me and so, I'll spare you your lives. The punch is for your rudeness," Shi Tianhao said lightly.
Every single Nascent Soul stage grandmaster in the Shi Family took a deep breath. They could all see that Shi Tianhao possessed the ability to kill their compatriot. He did show mercy here.
However, to be beaten up by someone who could be their grandson or even their great-grandson was humiliating.
Strictly speaking, no one in the Shi Family had seen the person with their own eyes before. However, he was like a giant mountain crushing above everyone's head.
Furthermore, the senior of the young boy before him managed to kill numerous Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Yu Family with his late-Aurous Core stage mastery, including three late-Nascent Soul stage grandmasters.
Who could guarantee that Shi Tianhao did not possess similar powers?
In that case, even with the protective spell formation of the Shi Family Mansion, their safety could not be assured. They would need an Immortal Soul stage cultivator to kill this young boy who was no older than 13.
However, ever since he returned from the battle with the Yu Family, the head of the Shi Family, an Immortal Soul Second Level cultivator, Shi Wu, kept his silence. No matter how much his fellow family members argued with respect to the governance of the Shi Family, Shi Wu never expressed any of his own opinions.
Without Shi Wu's approval, no one in the Shi Family dared attack Shi Tianhao.
Furthermore, there were still a group of people in the Shi Family that pitied Shi Tianhao.
Shi Tianhao did not care much for everyone's reaction. Instead, his gaze fell upon a middle-aged man before him.
The middle-aged man was of above average build. His face was handsome and his gaze was ageless but brimming with a certain type of sharpness. He stood at the center of the crowd. While he was the not the most senior in the Shi Family, he was a late-Nascent Soul stage cultivator and everyone treated him as their core.
If one were to look at him carefully, one would see an uncanny resemblance between Shi Tianyi and him.
The middle-aged man looked at Shi Tianhao seriously and said, "Tianhao, it is rare for you to come home. However, for you to enter into a conflict with your own family members immediately, it isn't all that apt. You suffered much for someone of your age. However, after you joined the Master of the Celestial Sect, surely he taught you basic etiquette?"
"Big Uncle jests," said Shi Tianhao quietly. "The Celestial Sect of Wonders taught me basic decorum and etiquette, of course. However, the pre-condition for this is that the other party must know about these etiquettes too. Of course, it doesn't matter what my master taught me. You need to know only one thing."
"As a disciple of my master, I respect everyone who respects me. As for the rest...," Shi Tianhao smiled slightly. "When friends come, I shall entertain them with the best wine. When wolves and leopards come, I shall receive them with knives and swords. It is that simple."
His gaze was vibrant but yet, everyone felt a chill down their spines. "Earlier on, none of you viewed me as your own flesh and blood. So don't ever bring that up again. Today, I come only to collect what my parents and my grandfather left behind. I have no intention of rejoining the Shi Family."
"However, I did hear something else," Shi Tianhao stared at the middle-aged man. "Big Uncle implied earlier that the Shi Family is allied with the Great Void Sect and hence, viewed the Celestial Sect of Wonders as a threat?"
The middle-aged man was Shi Tianyi's father. He supported his own son and hence, he told his family members to be united in their stance and support the Great Void Sect. All opposing voices must be silent as the Shi Family threw their weight behind Shi Tianyi.
Some people were unhappy with the events many years on as they felt that it was way too bloody. However, after Shi Tianhao's family left, coupled with Shi Tianyi's meteoric rise, the mainstream opinion of the Shi Family sided with Shi Tianyi.
Yet, with the rebirth of Shi Tianhao and the ascendancy of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the destruction of Shi Tianyi's main supporters, the Yu Family, many people began to waver in their stance.
After Shi Tianyi was blinded in one eye, a great number of them considered changing sides.
Shi Tianyi had the support of the Great Void Sect and everyone looked at him favorably. Even the Radical Faction of the Great Void Sect, the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Thunderclap Temple viewed him with respect.
However, the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Shi Tianhao could not be underestimated as well. While most people would not change their stance overnight, many of them were inclined towards a more neutral position.
The middle-aged man did not want that to happen. Hence, he called for a family meeting and discussed the matter with the major members of the Yu Family.
However, as Shi Wu's attitude was unclear, many people also had unclear opinions. The efforts of the middle-aged man were hence limited.
Just as he vexed over this issue, Shi Tianhao presented himself before them.
"Big Uncle cares for me," Shi Tianhao arched his neck and stared at the middle-aged man in a crooked half-smile. "I wonder if Big Uncle cares about my current mastery? Do you want to have a go at me and find out for my dear 'brother'?"
(Translator's Note: While Shi Tianyi is technically Shi Tianhao's cousin, it is common in Chinese families to use fraternal forms of address for one's cousins too)

Chapter 571: The Beast in Human Form, Shi Tianhao
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Shi Tianhao's expression was akin to half-smile, but from his body, an unrestrained aggressive aura emanated.
When he was still a child, he moved to and fro Mount Yujing often, going into the depths of the Kunlun Mountains. While his objective was primarily to hunt for food, he did kill many ferocious beasts during that time.
However, only his master and some of his fellow disciples knew that Shi Tianhao would often go to the Southern Territories and crossed through the dimensions into the Barren Expanses!
There, he would kill many demons. His hands were stained with the blood of his vanquished foes. While he was young, he had experienced life and death.
Amongst everyone in the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Shi Tianhao's killing intent and savagery were amongst the top few.
He was truly a bloodthirsty demon child.
The entire Shi Family could clearly feel the bloodlust from Shi Tianhao's body. The two people that he had just knocked out did not actually encircle and attack his parents. When his parents left the Void Battleground, they too did not participate in the hunt for them.
Hence, Shi Tianhao spared their lives. However, in the crowd, some of them were active participants.
Now, when they met Shi Tianhao's gaze, they felt a chill in their hearts despite their thousand years long lives. They felt as if they standing before a dangerous Primordial Age beast.
Shi Tianyi's father was even more pressurized. He fell silent for a while and suddenly, a golden light shone from his back. A dragon roared and from the golden light, a white-scaled giant dragon emerged. The white-scaled dragon's body glowed with golden light and every single ray of golden light was like a sharp blade that sliced the dimensions around them into bits.
He directly revealed his own cosmic form.
"Little Tianhao, since you are full of confidence, then let Big Uncle exchange a few moves with you. I want to see what you have learned from the Master of the Celestial Sect."
The two late-Nascent Soul stage cultivators by his side fell silent. However, the vibrations of their mana could be felt too.
Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "Big Uncle, you jest again. Between us, how could we just 'exchange a few moves'?"
His body trembled furiously and was aggressive and it brimmed with powerful, raw energy and in the blink of an eye, he was before his opponent. "You have to pay your debts."
The white-scaled giant dragon cosmic form charged towards Shi Tianhao head-on. He completely disregarded it and a black hole appeared on his forehead.
From the hole, one could hear the roar of beasts, that resembled infants crying. The sounds were extremely ear-piercing.
The Great Furnace of the Commons was covered with black soil and akin to a black hole. Directly, it sucked in the white-scaled giant dragon!
Everyone in the Shi Family was shocked by this scene. The Great Furnace of the Commons above Shi Tianhao's head was like a ferocious Primordial Age beast that opened its mouth to bite onto his opponent's cosmic form.
The top part of the white-scaled giant dragon was chomped by the Great Furnace of the Commons and his bottom half twisted and gyrated in mid-air. The dragon tail whished in the air but it was still unable to escape.
The hall's space was limited initially and the white-scaled giant dragon had controlled its size within the hall to ensure that there was no space constraint. However, now that it was trapped, it no longer cared so much for it anymore and immediately grew by to tens of meters and swept through the entire hall.
If not for the protective spell formation of the Shi Family Mansion, the great tail of the dragon would have flattened the Shi Family Mansion.
The golden light on the dragon flashed non-stop. It was akin to a countless amount of sharp knives that sliced through the void. However, they were unable to hurt Shi Tianhao.
The other grandmasters of the Shi Family could clearly see that the white-scaled giant dragon could not escape the furnace on top of Shi Tianhao's head. Instead, it was gradually sucked into it.
Everyone inhaled in shock. "What powerful move is this?"
The white-scaled giant dragon was the cosmic form of a late-Nascent Soul stage cultivator. It represented the cultivator's many years of cultivation and the essence of his mana. It was his most powerful move but yet, it appeared to be swallowed by Shi Tianhao right now!
"Just now, I saw in the furnace the outline of a Tao Tie. This could be the Tao Tie's signature move, devour! However, even if it was a pure-blooded Tao Tie, it must have a Demonic Lord level cultivation to possess such powers. Shi Tianhao only possesses an Aurous Core stage mastery."
The Shi Family's Supreme White Dragon Mantra was derived from the one of the Great Qin Empire's Imperial Household's Secret Manual of the Five Imperial True Dragons, the Imperial Script of the White Dragon. Once the golden light was successfully cultivated, it was nearly invincible and much more powerful than ten thousand divine soldiers. It was the pinnacle Metal Type move.
For such a powerful move, it would not be easy for even a Tao Tie to devour because its mana was too sharp and too vibrant. It brimmed with offensive powers.
However, at that moment, the white-scaled great dragon was sucked in by the Great Furnace of the Commons and completely unable to escape.
Furthermore, that was not the entirety of Shi Tianhao's powers. The Great Furnace of the Commons trapped his opponent's cosmic form but Shi Tianhao's movement was not restricted. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before his enemy.
With his cosmic form trapped, the late Nascent Soul stage cultivator's power was no different from a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator's power. As he was pummelled by the physically apt Shi Tianhao, he was unable to retaliate.
Shi Tianyi's father was not the most senior but his mastery was amongst the best in the Shi Family. At this moment, however, he was not Shi Tianhao's opponent.
He groaned and a golden light shone from his body and turned into the shape of a dragon. Within the dragon, one could see an odd square-shaped seal that was like a dragon's head. That was a Nascent Soul stage magic item, the Supreme White Dragon Seal.
Shi Tianhao did not even look at it. He extended his hand and grabbed it. Immediately, his hand, which was originally white and clean turned black and green. All of his blood vessels burst forth and they turned and twisted together. His fingers grew to be as big as a lock.
His five fingers extended and they resembled the claws of a demon. They grabbed the Supreme White Dragon Seal and crushed it in his palm. Immediately, one could hear the Nascent Soul stage magic item crack.
"Such ferocity! That is not the physical prowess a mere Aurous Core stage cultivator could possess!" The Yu Family Nascent Soul stage grandmasters were all shocked as they could feel clearly the killing intent from Shi Tianhao's body.
Even if their stance changed, they could not bear to watch Shi Tianhao kill someone. A group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators began to surround him.
"Don't interfere!" Shi Tianhao raised his other fist and said, "Yu!"
A powerful energy paralyzed everyone on the spot.
Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage were all flung back as blood spewed from their mouths. They were completely knocked over by Shi Tianhao's 'Yu'.
As the Nascent Soul stage cultivators learned about the secrets of space, they were still able to resist its powers. In the next instant, however, Shi Tianhao's "Zhou" activated too. When the mantras of both "Yu" and "Zhou" activated, they swept the entire surroundings and sent even the Nascent Soul stage cultivators flying!
And that was just the beginning!
The Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness appeared and Shi Tianhao grabbed the Hammer of the Yellow Heaven Bell and smashed. Ripples appeared and space and they combined the powers of the "Yu" and "Zhou", completely suppressing the powers of everyone below the late-Nascent Soul stage.
In the flick of a finger, other than Shi Tianyi's father, only two other Nascent Soul stage cultivators were able to stand. They looked at Shi Tianhao with a stunned expression.
This little one was actually a beast in human form!
F*ck, did it mean that every single disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was this powerful?
In that time, Shi Tianhao's claw-like left hand once again gripped tightly on the Supreme White Dragon Seal again. It whimpered out pitifully. Shi Tianhao, with his bare hands, completely shattered a Nascent Soul stage magic item.
The two Nascent Soul stage cultivators decided to give it one last go as they both revealed their cosmic forms.
Shi Tianhao was, of course, not scared. The space behind him twisted and suddenly, a second Great Furnace of the Commons appeared!
At that point, the grandmasters' eyes flashed. Shi Tianhao's face was expressionless as his gaze turned elsewhere.
Over there, the space rippled and a tall youth stepped out slowly. His expression was calm and his two eyes were shut.
Like Shi Tianhao, he did not tie his hair as they hung loosely over his shoulders. Compared to Shi Tianhao, he had a deeper aura.
It was the cultivator with polycoria, Shi Tianyi.
"Good brother, could you not wait?" asked Shi Tianhao calmly. He did not open his eyes as he extended his right arm forward.
White clouds began to fill the room as an infinite amount of light appeared. They turned into runes after runes and floated in mid-air. A powerful force locked Shi Tianhao's first Great Furnace of the Commons, preventing it from further devouring the white-scaled great dragon.
With its sucking powers restricted, the white-scaled great dragon writhed furiously as it sought to escape from the furnace.
Shi Tianhao's expression did not change. "Of course I can't wait."
"I am scared that before we fight, another one of my fellow disciples would blind your other eye."
With that, the second Great Furnace of the Commons expelled a gust of wind which sliced the white-scaled great dragon in half by the waist!
Shi Tianyi's father cried out in pain. His cosmic form was sliced in half in a single moment by Shi Tianhao!
The most precious and powerful item of a late-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, his cosmic form, was destroyed!
In that instant, Shi Tianyi finally opened his eyes. His left eye was ordinary and no different from a normal person's.
However, his right eye gave off a startling glow at this moment. The glow from his eyes turned into a light and fog which then covered the whole room. In the light and fog, a heavenly glow flashed as mystic runes floated. It was as if another world was being created at this instant.
Shi Tianyi said quietly. "Since you cannot wait, then I will kill you here and now. Then, I shall go and find Wang Lin."
"You have no chance of finding Third Senior," said Shi Tianhao with the same expressionless face.
The two powerful talents of the cultivating world faced each other. Since the incident of their youth, they had finally met each other in person.
"The Dragon Battle Arena will open in 3 days. Can the two of you not even wait for 3 days?" The Qin Emperor's, Shi Yu, voice suddenly sounded.
The space behind the two Shis trembled as Lin Feng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man stepped out at the same time. They looked at each other calmly.
The head of the Shi Family, Shi Wu, finally appeared. However, he was silent. His gaze alternated between Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi.
Shi Tianhao smiled at Lin Feng and then looked at Shi Tianyi and his father. His gaze fell on Shi Tianyi's father for a long while before he said, "Of course I can wait, there's something waiting for me in the Dragon Rock Gate."
Shi Tianyi walked to his father's side and looked at his wounds. His gaze turned icy cold as he turned his head to look at Xiao Budian, Shi Tianhao, and said, "What a shame. No matter how long you wait, Uncle Ziling, will not be able to appear in Xiling City to watch our battle."
Your hurt my father and I would take avenge him. While my father was hurt and his cosmic form was destroyed, he would still be able to watch our fight.
However, no one knew where your father was.
That was what Shi Tianyi implied.

Chapter 572: You Better Watch Your Father
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Shi Tianhao looked at Shi Tianyi and tilted his head with a fierce gaze in his eyes. He bared his teeth in a smile and said, "In these three days, you better watch your father. If not, he won't be able to watch our match."
He said that jestingly but no one on-scene laughed. Everyone could feel from his body an uncontrollable killing intent.
Decades ago, Shi Tianyi's father was the one who chased Shi Tianhao's family away. Not too long ago, he was the one who instigated the trap to kill Shi Tianhao's parents.
Hearing Shi Tianhao's words, all those who supported Shi Tianyi felt a panic rising in their hearts. Shi Tianyi's father too felt his face growing hot.
Everything that just happened however proved that Shi Tianhao's words were not false. Enemies crossed paths easier and his Big Uncle here was in mortal danger.
Someone saw that the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Shi Wu were both on-scene. They became braver and just as they were about to berate Shi Tianhao, they saw Lin Feng by his side, emotionless. They quickly swallowed their words.
Lin Feng's gaze swept past Shi Tianyi. His good right eye flashed.
The tall cultivator with polycoria took a deep breath and looked down without saying anything.
Lin Feng's gaze then passed him and landed on the Xuan Lin Holy Man. He said calmly, "Don't come up with all your tricks. Not only will you lose respect for no good reason, there may even be hell to pay."
Speaking from the heart, Lin Feng believed that Bai Xiqian and Ding Runfeng acted on their own accord. For someone like the Xuan Lin Holy Man, he would not even bother with these tiny details.
It may be possible that Bai Xiqian and Ding Runfeng did not even want to act against the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. They probably became pissed off after hearing the words of the Path of Hell cultivators.
However, their skills were not enough and in the end, they made a fool out of themselves while boosting Yue Hongyan's, Li Yuanfang's and Luo Qingwu's fame.
Bai Xiqian was crippled by Yue Hongyan. Her injuries were extremely serious and even the Great Void Sect's treatments may not heal her.
Yue Hongyan's spear not only pierced a hole through her physical body but it injured Bai Xiqian's soul too. Her aurous core was completely shattered and if she could live, that would be miraculous.
However, for a girl used to pampering like her, her fall from grace was more painful than death. It would have been preferable had Yue Hongyan just killed her earlier on.
The Xuan Lin Holy Man's gaze was calm as he stared at Lin Feng, "From the start till now, who is the coming up with tricks?"
"Ever since you appeared, you took the riskier, less-trodden path. While you and your sect is more and more well-known and more firmly established, I can still see that you are in a rush to carve a name out for yourself, till the point where you may appear too hasty."
The Xuan Lin Holy Man returned Lin Feng's gaze and continued, "I don't know why do you behave as such, but I can be sure that a certain reason is compelling you to act this way. Your current predicament may appear glorious, but in reality, you are swimming against the currents. If you don't advance, you will be swept away by it."
"You cannot win."
Lin Feng's expression did not change. He continued to look nonchalant and otherworldly as he said, "Which mortal isn't swimming against the currents?"
The Xuan Lin Holy Man nodded his head and said calmly, "You're right. Hence, I won't waste words talking to you about today's events. Everyone will come to light three days later."
"I'll see you in three days," smiled Lin Feng. His disciple wasn't the one who was crippled and hence, he could afford not to care.
However, with the Xuan Lin Holy Man's usual style of doing things, he probably had some other intention in mind by letting the events of today pass so quickly. Lin Feng could not figure out what was it but he decided to react accordingly when the time came.
Three days later, he would counter whatever move the Xuan Lin Holy Man may have.
While this was the Shi Family's territory, the main character at the moment was not Shi Wu. Instead, Shi Wu did not behave like the host or owner. He said nothing from start to finish as he just looked at the exchange between Lin Feng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man.
The Xuan Lin Holy Man then looked at Shi Tianyi and his father. He raised his hand a white cloud enveloped the both of them. With the nourishing power of the white cloud, Shi Tianyi's father appeared better.
Shi Tianyi, at this point in time, completely retracted aggressive gaze. However, he continued to look at Shi Tianhao.
Shi Tianhao looked back at him. He saw the Xuan Lin Holy Man bring Shi Tianyi away into the Shi Family Mansion and then he smiled suddenly. He extended his right hand and placed it on his neck and made a cut-throat motion to Shi Tianyi.
Shi Tianyi's gaze flashed coldly. He said nothing as he disappeared with the Xuan Lin Holy Man.
"My purpose here today is to bring back the stuff my grandfather and my parents left behind," Shi Tianhao shrugged his shoulders and looked at Shi Wu.
Many years ago, his family lived in the residence in Xiling City and not their ancestral home. Hence, many of his parents' possessions were here. They were in the hands of their sympathizers.
Shi Tianhao swept the few Shi Family members with his gaze and said with a smile, "I'll claim my debt three days later. I believe the lot of you prefer that date too."
He had already identified those who had ill-treated his family all those years ago.
Those members of the Shi Family were silent. They hoped from the bottom of their hearts that Shi Tianhao would be settled by Shi Tianyi three days later.
"Help yourself," said Shi Wu. He clasped his hands in the direction of Lin Feng, turned and disappeared.
Lin Feng looked at Shi Wu's disappearing outline and smiled slightly. He did not say much. After Shi Tianhao collected his things, they left.
After leaving the Shi Family Mansion, Lin Feng and his disciples walked quietly on the main street. Shi Tianhao appeared to have become an entirely different person. He was silent as he followed behind Lin Feng.
"Are you thinking about your family?" Lin Feng asked without turning his back.
Shi Tianhao nodded his head and said after a long while, "When I last entered the Void Battleground, I did not get any news about them. I miss them very much."
He was still emotionally stable. This time, he brought the Fires of Life of his grandfather and his parents. As long as their Fires of Life did not extinguish, it meant that their lives were free from danger.
When Lin Feng brought them to bring Wang Lin back, he left his Avatar of Ares in it just before he left.
Shi Tianhao knew about that and hence, his heart was still at ease.
However, after he returned to the Shi Family Mansion, a sense of longing resurfaced.
As the two of them walked, they turned a corner and saw a few people waiting for them. One of them wore a purple robe with a white overcoat. That was Lin Feng's second disciple, Zhu Yi.
By Zhu Yi's side was a slightly younger youth who also wore a purple robe like Zhu Yi. He too smiled when he saw Lin Feng and Shi Tianhao. That was Lin Feng's fifth disciple, Yang Qing.
By Zhu Yi's side, there was a young girl in a yellow dress. When she saw Lin Feng, she bowed and said, "Junior Shi Xingyun offers her greetings to Senior Lin."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "There's no need for formality." When he used his King of the Boundless Sea Physical Spell Body to help Zhu Yi advance to the Nascent Soul stage earlier, Zhu Yi already reported some things to him.
In the period Zhu Yi was preparing for his examinations, Shi Xingyun led another delegation to Tianjing City and due to a fortuitous turn of events, Zhu Yi and she cooperated after he killed a late-Nascent Soul stage cultivator under Liang Yuan. Together, they were able to destroy the evil cult under Liang Yuan's command.
After Zhu Yi had finished his examinations, he was supposed to reject the Great Zhou Empire's offer of a civil service job. However, who knew that the Zhou Emperor, Liang Pan, offered him a job as an envoy of the Great Zhou Empire to the Great Qin Empire? In that capacity, Zhu Yi was supposed to engage in a literary exchange with the Great Qin Empire.
Hence, Zhu Yi followed Shi Xingyun and her delegation back to Xiling City. The Great Zhou Empire's delegation naturally followed them.
Liang Pan seemed to wish to take advantage of the situation. Members of the delegation moved quickly and right after their names were confirmed, they headed straight to Xiling City and were able to reach before the battle between Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi.
Zhu Yi and the rest reached on the same day as Lin Feng, but slightly earlier. Before Lin Feng and Shi Tianhao entered the Palace, the Qin Emperor Shi Yu had already seen the Great Zhou Empire's delegation.
After she paid her respects to Lin Feng, Shi Xingyun looked at Shi Tianhao and sighed quietly, "Tianhao, your parents will be proud of you."
Earlier on, during the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, Shi Xingyun said the same thing. Then, it came from the bottom of her heart. When she said it now, however, there was a slight difference to it.
"Thank you Sister Xingyun," smiled Shi Tianhao.
After hearing Shi Tianhao's words, a smile crossed Shi Xingyun's face. She said softly, "Tianhao, you need to be careful. When Shi Tianyi was younger, he often entered the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. The Ancient Land's environment was similar to the Dragon Battle Arena's and hence, he's familiar with both."
Shi Tianhao nodded his head and said, "Yeah, I know. Your father permitted me to enter the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land to familiarize myself with the environment too."
"Shi Tianyi spent an entire year there. I don't have that much time. But it doesn't matter," said Shi Tianhao calmly, "It doesn't change the result."
Shi Xingyun said, "It's good to be confident."
"Speaking of which, Sister Xingyun, what about you and my Second Senior?" Shi Tianhao started laughing all of a sudden. Shi Xingyun shook her head vigorously and said, "It's not what you think it is. In all honesty, I learned much from Zhu Yi."
Zhu Yi took shook his head as he laughed as he pointed at Shi Tianhao and said, "You are still full of nonsense."
Shi Tianhao giggled and said, "Don't say that, Second Senior. Big Senior already brought Sister Zhener back to the mountain. When's your turn?"
"Is this something that we should be comparing?" Zhu Yi sounded both annoyed and amused.
Yang Qing and Shi Xingyun looked at them from the side and smiled without saying anything. Only Xiao Budian, Shi Tianhao, could render Zhu Yi in such a state.
Lin Feng too smiled at his disciples. However, at this moment, he felt a tug in his heart. An odd smile appeared on his face as he turned his gaze to the other direction.
"Finally." Lin Feng sensed for a while and then he arched his eyebrows. "Why is there only one?"

Chapter 573: A Hidden Move
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
in the south of Xiling City, many normal people resided there. Few cultivators could be found.
In a tiny alley, a shadow dashed past. No one could see his true appearance in the dark. The person did not stop as he walked slowly down the small alley. An interesting expression crossed his face. It was if he was admiring the scenery in the small alley and taking in the sights and sound of the mortal world.
However, his gaze flashed ceaselessly. His finger trailed along the wall and after it passed a bunch of bricks it stopped for a while. Then, he left, but he now held a gray crystal in his hand.
The crystal shattered and a faint mana could be felt in the air. A written message entered his brain directly.
"There's no need to care about other things. They do not require any special action on your part. Neither do they need you to find anything in particular. Do not spread the news and focus on your own cultivation. The most important thing is for you to learn the core teachings of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. If you need any help, just voice out. We'll satisfy all requests."
As he chewed on these words, the person's pace slowed and a bitter smile crossed his face.
Life on Mount Yujing was too relaxed and easy-going. He almost forgot the heavy responsibility he was entrusted with.
"Actually, what's wrong with just cultivating on the mountain and being a normal disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?" He asked himself in his heart. However, another sighed echoed in the small alley, "My intentions were not pure from the very beginning. Could the Celestial Sect of Wonders really accept me?"
"How can one say that it is easy to leave the control of the Great Zhou Empire? In the end, I have my worldly attachments too..."
This person did now know that as he read the messages conveyed by the gray crystal, a small amount of purple gas, hidden in the depths of his soul, trembled slightly as well. It too received the message of the gray crystal.
From afar, Lin Feng smiled, "Everything is going well. How can everything go this smoothly?"
A few second-generation disciples were brought directly to Xiling City and permitted to move about freely. Lin Feng had the intention of catching the mole when he's unaware.
Looking at it now, the person controlling the mole was highly-ranked. The person in contact was him was not the spies of the Great Zhou Empire in the Great Qin Empire. Instead, the person appeared to be from the delegation of the Great Zhou Empire.
Hence, it was someone from the core of the Great Zhou Empire's leadership.
Soon, Lin Feng furrowed his brows. He knew who the Great Zhou Empire was targetting with this move. Yan Mingyue mentioned that the Great Void Sect may be involved in this too.
This person had no master beforehand and hence, one could not see anything wrong with him through the system. However, from observing his daily actions, Lin Feng locked onto him. Yet, he made no move while he was in Xiling City.
"This person is rather careful," Lin Feng shook his head as he smiled. "It appears that they don't intend to activate this person so soon. I am afraid that he himself doesn't know his true purpose here."
In the center of Xiling City, there was an ordinary residence. In the garden and underneath an old Japanese scholar tree, two people sat facing each other, they sipped on wine and said nothing.
Till the wine was almost empty, one of them suddenly said, "Let's not talk about the mastery of the Master of the Celestial Sect, we can see from his actions all this while that he is not one to act rashly and without any planning. Senior, do you think that he may see through your trick?"
The person facing him held a wine glass in his hand and swirled in slowly. After drinking the remaining half a glass of wine in one gulp, he replied, "No."
"Even if the Master of the Celestial Sect searched his soul's memories, he will find nothing. Our mole himself does not know what is his mission. He doesn't even know who we are."
"The mole himself thinks that he is just an ordinary disciple." He placed his wineglass down and smiled slightly, "The time is not yet ripe so we won't activate him. Even if we do want to activate him, I will not come into direct contact with him. Instead, I will activate him through his parents."
The person who spoke first nodded his head and said, "That means that even when the order is given, the mole will think that it comes from his parents. From start to finish, he will not know that he's working for us?"
The person facing him slowly leaned his body against the Japanese scholar tree. He appeared very casual as he said, "That is the ideal outcome. What we can do is to eliminate any disruptions to our plans."
His gaze focused on the sky in the distance. There, the Shi Family Mansion stood. After a long while, he muttered to himself, "The Void Yin-Yang Clock and the Formation Bursting Drum are both deployed. The last time they were used together was during the War of the Two Worlds..."
After a night's rest, Lin Feng brought Shi Tianhao to the Inner Gardens of the Great Qin Empire's palace in the early morning.
According to the deal, the Qin Emperor Shi Yu would allow Shi Tianhao to enter the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land to familiarize himself with the environment.
After all, Shi Tianyi trained here for almost a year. He was extremely familiar with the surroundings and the flow of the spiritual energy within. The Dragon Battle Arena did not stand alone. It was within a specific area in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land.
In this area, its geographical features would be highly similar to that of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land.
Earlier on, Xiao Yan and Tao Yaoyao battled on the summit of Mount Yujing where the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster had designated an area there for battle. Xiao Yan mentioned that the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders would find it easier to absorb the spiritual energy from the top of Mount Yujing. That was true.
Similarly, Shi Tianhao was entering a completely alien environment while Shi Tianyi had trained there for almost a year. Hence, the latter possessed a home ground advantage.
In a battle between powerful cultivators, a small difference may determine the outcome of the battle. While Shi Tianhao was confident in beating Shi Tianyi, he did not mind increasing his won chances to make his victory easier.
While time was limited, he believed that it was highly useful.
In the banquet the night before, the two sides had discussed this matter. Hence, the Qin Emperor Shi Yu opened the gate to the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land as promised to allow Shi Tianhao to enter.
In the next three days, Shi Tianhao would pass his time quietly there as he awaited the day of battle
As he watched Shi Tianhao entered the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, Lin Feng turned his head to look quietly at Shi Yu and said, "May I inquire about the progress of the preparations?"
Shi Yu stood up from the dragon throne and said in a solemn, deep voice that resounded in the main pavilion of the imperial palace. "Master Lin, please."
A golden light flashed as the scene before the two of them changed. Lin Feng stood quietly as he allowed Shi Yu to use his mana to send himself to his intended destination.
In the dark void before him, lights of five colors shone dimly. In each light, one can see a True Dragon dancing, brimming with awe.
White, Green, Black, Red and Yellow. In each of the light, there appeared to be a long shadow, blurred and unclear.
This was Lin Feng's second time seeing this treasure. However, he was still struck by its awe. The unsurmountable, unbreakable supreme aura that seemed capable of suppressing the Multiverse made someone look twice at it in shock.
That was a Destiny-level magic treasure!
Only a Destiny-level magic treasure could possess such power. Even if the magic treasure was not complete, it still awed mortals with its status as a magic treasure that was more powerful than most magic treasures in the world.
For such a treasure, no ordinary Mahayana-stage, Metaplasia-stage or Gestation-stage magic treasure could compare to it.
As the light gradually faded, it became clearer. Only till this day was Lin Feng able to clearly see the true form of the magic treasure.
It was a city wall of an unmeasurable length that stretched for hundreds of kilometers. Its two sides were firmly entrenched in the void and one could not see its end. It resembled a giant dragon and was a sensory overload for many people.
Lin Feng thought about the Great Wall of China he had seen in his previous life. However, the Earth could not compare with the Grand Celestial World in terms of size. The wall before him was at least bigger than a hundred Great Walls.
Such a length was inconceivable by normal humans. Its length could not be simply measured and recorded as there was nothing that could compare to it. Its size was almost abstract.
"Is this the Immortal Dragon City?" Lin Feng's gaze flashed. The last time he saw it, it was not as real as it looked now. However, Lin Feng had an idea that last time he saw it. He checked through the system and found that this was the most likely candidate.
The Immortal Dragon City was cultivated in the Primordial Age into a Destiny-level magic treasure by the first human emperor, the First Emperor.
In the Primordial Age, the demons ruled the multiverse and it was the darkest period for mankind. Ever since the First Emperor, the humans began to rise and fight against the demons' dominance.
The Immortal Dragon City was forged from the lofty aspiration of the First Emperor who sought to be indestructible so he could resist the savagery of the demons and protect mankind forever!
However, the First Emperor fell in battle against the demons. Hence, the Immortal Dragon City was unable to be completed. While it was technically a Destiny-level magic treasure, it was incomplete and almost disappeared with the death of the First Emperor.
Ten thousand years ago, the first emperor of the Great Qin Empire unearthed this treasure and with the help of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land and other fortunate events, he was able to solidify the foundations of the Great Qin Empire.
Ever since the Great Qin Empire was established, it devoted a lot of resources to the Immortal Dragon City with the hope of being able to successfully cultivate it. However, this was a difficult magic treasure to deal with and no one was able to finish cultivating it. In the last battle between humans and demons, it was severely damaged.
After thousands of years of preparation, the Immortal Dragon City was once again restored. As it approached perfection, it lacked only the final touches.
That was the reason why the Qin Emperor Shi Yu needed Lin Feng's help.
Lin Feng looked calmly at the Immortal Dragon City and did not say anything unnecessary. He lightly tapped the center of his forehead and a black and white seal appeared on his forehead. That was the image of Yin-Yang. The image gave off a clear light and a murderous aura emerged from it.
Upon coming into contact with the aura, the Immortal Dragon City appeared to grunt. The entire, endless wall trembled. Living up to its 'Immortal' name, a protective power began to envelop the wall as it fought against the light.
As Lin Feng felt the aura of the Immortal Dragon City, the Yin-Yang image on Lin Feng's head shone even brighter and more violently. It was as if an apocalyptic beast had woken and was giving an earth-shattering roar.

Chapter 574: The Heaven-Sword is Two-Third Out
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The Yin-Yang diagram on Lin Feng's head spun non-stop as a boundless and deathly-cold light came forth. It illuminated parts of the pitch-black void, giving it into frightening green hue.
"My fellow Taoist, if you are ready, then I shall act," said Lin Feng.
The Qin Emperor Shi Yu took a deep breath and said nothing. He merged his soul with the Immortal Dragon City and immediately, one could feel the power of the Immortal Dragon City increase exponentially.
The Yin-Yang diagram on Lin Feng's forehead began to give off a clear light. In the clear light, one could see the shape of sword scabbard.
The sword scabbard opened itself and immediately, an unbelievably murderous aura came from within. It appeared to possess an apocalyptic power.
A giant sword slowly came out from the scabbard. Lin Feng said nothing as he grabbed its handle as he pulled the Heaven-Destroying Sword, the terrifying sword, out of its sheath.
At this moment, 50% of the Heaven-Destroying Sword's blade was sharpened. A sword radiance spun and its blade appeared transparent.
While the other half of the Heaven-Destroying Sword was still coated in rust, the current amount of power the Heaven-Destroying Sword gave off was horrifying enough.
As Lin Feng wielded the Heaven-Destroying Sword, he waved it and immediately, the dazzling light retracted. All that was left was an immensely bright ray of light that resembled a shooting star slicing through the night sky.
However, as this light shone, the world around it appeared to lose color and plunge into an endless darkness. It was as if the world was consumed by destruction.
Where the sword radiance shone, life extinguished.
The Immortal Dragon City, faced with this all-killing sword, did not seek to evade or avoid it. Instead, it concentrated on using giving off all of its powers.
The Immortal Dragon City, that was tens of thousands of kilometers long, began to glow with light. In the light, one could see numerous human figures standing shoulder-to-shoulder on it. The wills of many formed the wall as they faced the oncoming death and destruction.
Never submitting, never giving way and without any fear! To protect what was behind them, even if they themselves would die, they would do it without hesitation!
Numerous soldiers stood bravely on the Immortal Dragon City and roared in unison, shaking the very heaven itself.
With that roar, it appeared that the world moved back in time to the dark days where hope for mankind was borne, where mankind began to rise.
The will of many was able to change the fate of humanity. It was a truly revolutionary power.
Without ever submitting, Mankind rose fearlessly and united in defense of each other!
This was the most powerful will of Man that had been passed down for eons. At this very moment, they decided to release this will into a tangible power to counter their impending destruction.
At the bottom of the Immortal Dragon City, the outlines of the many dragons could be seen. They appeared to have been awed by the collective roar of Man as they submitted themselves below the Immortal Dragon City to willingly join in the defense.
The sword radiance of the Heaven-Destroying Sword clashed with the power of the Immortal Dragon City. At that instant, everywhere around them seemed to have collapsed into a whirl of colors. All spiritual beings were destroyed.
The space appeared to have been divided into two by a formless energy with the Immortal Dragon City as the border. The side of the Heaven-Destroying Sword was an endless expanse of chaos while the other side remained intact as if nothing had happened.
The two sides plunged into a stalemate. Neither side was willing to give way.
Throughout this whole process, the many layers of rust on the Heaven-Destroying Sword began to flake off in large quantities.
On top of the Immortal Dragon City, at the forefront of the wall which was the first line of defense against the Heaven-Destroying Sword's sword radiance, one could see a human shape forming.
The human shape eventually solidified. It appeared to a man of average build, clothed simply and with an average complexion.
However, the person brimmed with awe and commanded respect. He struck fear into others' hearts, who felt subdued by him and was obliged to follow behind in his stead.
Lin Feng understood that that was the spirit of the First Emperor. He was the first human emperor of the Primordial Age.
When the spirit of the First Emperor appeared, he did not do much. Instead, he extended both arms to the heavens.
At this time, Lin Feng felt as if the entire universe trembled. This was a supremely mythical feeling. If one's cultivation was not high enough, he could not feel it.
It was if Creation itself trembled for him.
With this tremble, the spirit of the First Emperor disappeared and the Immortal Dragon City gave off a brilliant light.
Looking at the light, Lin Feng's eyes turned to slits as he could feel his spirit, under the power of the light, becoming increasingly stagnant.
"The eternal glow and the immortal light..." Lin Feng felt the power of the light carefully. "Eternity is the limit of Time. Heaven and Earth will be destroyed and who can truly attain eternity? However, bathing in this glow, one can really feel as if one had obtained the secrets to eternity. With endless growth, it is a power without limit."
Under the eternal glow, the Heaven-Destroying Sword was unable to progress further.
The powers of the Heaven-Destroying Sword became more murderous as the sword radiance battered against the Immortal Dragon City like waves against the beach. However, the Immortal Dragon city did was like a shoal in the ocean. No matter how much the ocean tried to wash it away, it never moved.
Lin Feng began to smile as he thought, "Under the Eternal Glow, all those who received the protection of the Immortal Dragon City will be indestructible. Heaven and Earth may crumble but will they be eternal?"
Even if there was enough energy to destroy it, the object appeared frozen at the particular point in time. It cannot change.
Unless one destroyed the Eternal Glow, no amount of energy would be able to menace the Immortal Dragon City.
"Congratulations, my fellow Taoist. Let's not talk about the powers of this treasure, solely based on its defensive properties, it is the best in the Divine Lands!" Lin Feng as he stopped his attack and retracted the Heaven-Destroying Sword.
The powerful sword in his hand continued to tremble as if it did not want to stop.
The shadow of the Qin Emperor, Shi Yu, appeared next to the Immortal Dragon City. He touched the wall. Even for someone with his steadiness, his fingers trembled.
Since more than ten thousand years, the Great Qin Empire had been trying to perfect the Immortal Dragon City. Many generations of Qin Emperor innumerable amount of resources to doing so. Finally, under his reign, he completed it.
At the same time, the Great Qin Empire finally possessed a Destiny-level magic treasure. It was not a damaged one but instead, a perfect one. A true Destiny-level magic treasure that was able to dominate the heavens.
However, Shi Yu calmed himself down as he looked at Lin Feng.
His gaze fell upon Lin Feng's the Heaven-Destroying Sword. At this moment, two-third of the sword was sharpened and its vibrating sword radiance gave off a murderous air. The last one-third of its blade, near its handle, was still caked in rust.
As the master of the Immortal Dragon City, Shi Yu's soul was now connected to this Destiny-level magic treasure. he could feel clearly that while the Immortal Dragon City was able to resist the powers of Lin Feng's the Heaven-Destroying Sword, it had to use its ultimate move, Eternal Glow.
Eternal Glow was the most powerful move of the Immortal Dragon City. Without activating Eternal Glow, the Immortal Dragon City did shake a bit under the Heaven-Destroying Sword's barrage.
Finally, as it approached perfection, Eternal Glow was able to successfully resist against the Heaven-Destroying Sword.
However, when he realized that Lin Feng's the Heaven-Destroying Sword only released two-third of its power, Shi Yu's heart sank.
If the Heaven-Destroying Sword, like the Immortal Dragon City, was perfected, then would the Immortal Dragon City still be able to resist the Heaven-Destroying Sword?
Shi Yu reigned for almost 1000 years. This was the first time he did not dare to give any deeper thoughts to this particular matter.
He steadied himself and said, "Defense-wise, I am confident that the Immortal Dragon City is the first in the Grand Celestial World. However, it is not the only one. The Great Void Sect's Supreme Heavenly Mirror is universally recognized as the best treasure in the world. Its offensive and defensive powers are without equal."
"While I believe in the defensive powers of the Immortal Dragon City, I cannot ascertain whether it is superior to the Supreme Heavenly Mirror."
Lin Feng nodded his head. Shi Yu's words were objective. It was not that he did not have faith in himself.
While the Great Qin Empire possessed its very own Destiny-level magic treasure, Lin Feng did not object to it. The Great Qin Empire's relation with the Celestial Sect of Wonders was harmonious at the moment. Even if there was a conflict between the two, they were separated by distance.
This time, by helping them out, he benefitted a great deal too. He was able to better understand the powers of the Eternal Glow.
More importantly, the Heaven-Destroying Sword was further refined.
Let's not talk about Shi Yu, Lin Feng himself anticipated the day when the Heaven-Destroying Sword was complete.
Lin Feng sheathed the sword and just as he was about to seal it once more, he noticed that it began to change.
On its scabbard, dozens of shiny metal chains appeared as they danced in the air.
A human shape began to form in mid-air and slowly, it revealed to be a young woman. The silver chains wrapped themselves around her body and locked themselves as they giant sword scabbard landed on her back.
However, this time, the sword scabbard reduced in size. While it was still humongous compared to her body size, it was no longer like an ant carrying a mountain.
The young woman was the exact same person Lin Feng had seen in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World carrying the scabbard and circling the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree.
"Indeed, she appeared to have grown..." Lin Feng thought. He noticed that the young woman before him now appeared to be 17 to 18 years old. In the blink of an eye, she aged and grew in size.
Her body was rod-straight and she resembled a sharp sword that had just left its scabbard.
Even if she was carrying the giant scabbard, one felt as if she was going to leap into the heavens at any point. She brimmed with a powerful aura.
Her complexion was elegant but expressionless. She did not reveal any emotion and she was like an icy-cold marionette.
Lin Feng noticed that her hair appeared half-black and half-white. However, her white hair did not show sign of age. Instead, it was mixed together with her black hair. Together, they resembled a chaotic, primordial mess.
After the young woman showed herself, she stood behind Lin Feng and said nothing. It was evident that she obeyed only Lin Feng's commands.
This attracted Lin Feng's attention. Based on his previous experience, the sword spirit did not react to external stimuli, including its cultivator Lin Feng.
The only response it gave to the external world was destruction and massacre.
"As the magic treasure became more and more mature, does its original soul change?" Lin Feng thought.
Shi Yu looked at the scabbard-carrying young woman with an inquisitive look on his face.
Lin Feng coughed and said, "This is my swordbearer, her name is... Xuan Li."

Chapter 575: Lin Feng's Swordbearer
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The young woman stood quietly behind Lin Feng. She did not react to Lin Feng's name and neither did she respond. She only stood there, silently carrying the giant scabbard.
The Qin Emperor Shi Yu looked at Xuan Li and thought, "His sword is indeed extraordinary. However, I cannot tell its grade."
For a Mahayana level magic treasure, they would possess an Original Soul like Xuan Li. However, she did not appear to fully conscious.
It was also unlikely that the sword was below the Mahayana level as it was way too powerful. Furthermore, Xuan Li emitted a perfect aura of life and she could exist independently from the Heaven-Destroying Sword. Therefore, she was definitely could not be compared to any ordinary Gestation or Metaplasia level magic treasures.
In terms of power, she appeared to be a Destiny level magic treasure. However, she was not fully cultivated and only part of her blade was polished.
However, for Destiny level magic treasures, the Original Soul would not possess a physical form. Instead, it would take the form of a consciousness and hardly reveal itself.
Even the Immortal Dragon City did not reveal its human form before its cultivation was complete.
These thoughts flashed in Lin Feng's mind. However, his face betrayed no expression. He just quietly discussed these matters with the Qin Emperor Shi Yu.
Shi Yu did not like to ask too much too. Like any other ordinary cultivator, he discussed cultivation with Lin Feng.
Honestly speaking, Lin Feng gained much from speaking with Shi Yu. However, he soon discovered something that was rather disturbing.
He tried to instruct Xuan Li, the young woman, to disappear. However, she did not.
For his other orders, Xuan Li would respond accordingly. However, she would not respond to Lin Feng's request for her to disappear. He did not know if it was because she was unable or unwilling.
"Forget it, since you have endured it for so long, I shall let you breathe the open air," thought Lin Feng as he tried to make the best out of this situation. "From now onwards, I will have an expressionless female following me everywhere I go. Isn't that a bit too eye-catching?"
He bade farewell to Shi Yu and brought Xuan Li to his place of residence that the Great Qin Empire had arranged for him.
Once he reached that place, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and the others surrounded him. Xiao Zhener, Tun Tun, and the rest too looked at Lin Feng and Xuan Li.
"Master, did she come out from the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World?" Xiao Yan looked curiously at the young girl who was following tightly behind Lin Feng. "She appeared much older now..."
Lin Feng said, "Why is it that only you lot can grow and others can't? She stayed for a much longer time in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World than you lot."
He then turned to look at Xuan Li and said, "She's my swordbearer. Her name is Xuan Li."
Xiao Yan and rest often entered the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World. Everyone knew about the close relationship between the young woman and Lin Feng's the Heaven-Destroying Sword. They knew about the powers of the sword and hence, they did not dare annoy Xuan Li.
The battle between the two Shis was known by all under heavens. In the three days, many people came to Xiling City, hoping to catch the battle. This included many Immortal Soul stage elders.
They were not only concerned about the battle between the two Shis, but also the various powers that supported each Shi.
Judging from past events, it did not matter which Shi triumph in the end. The Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect were both unwilling to concede defeat. Hence, once the two sects came into conflict, it would affect every single cultivator in the Divine Lands.
Hence, the interested personnel all headed towards the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land in Xiling City.
The Blue Pavilion Holy Man of the Purple Clouds Sect, Prince Xian of the Right of the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, the Celestial Sword Elder of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, the Sun Radiance Swordmaster of the Sun Moon Sword Sect, the Starry Swordmaster of the Starry Sword Sect and the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster of the Sword of Radiance Sect would all arrive in Xiling City sooner or later.
Amongst them, the Blue Pavilion Holy Man and Prince Xian of the Right came along with Lin Feng. After the rest reached Xiling City, they met with either Lin Feng or the Xuan Lin Holy Man respectively.
After he sent the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster away, Zhu Yi came with good news. "Master, two seniors from the Samsara Sect are here. One of them is the Netherworld Hell Holy Man, Liu Zhikun, from the Path of Hell while the other is Yi Longbing from the Path of Humanity. Big Senior is receiving them out in front."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Show them in."
Quickly, a skinny middle-aged man appeared before Lin Feng. He had high cheekbones and bronze skin. He was Liu Zhikun from the Path of Hell.
Behind him was a big-sized young man who looked like he was only 20 to 30 years old. He appeared reserved and simple. Standing there, he was like an ordinary mortal.
Under the cover of the system, no one could tell Lin Feng's true mastery level. However, it was different for the young man. In the eyes of others, no one could tell his mastery. However, Lin Feng could tell that he was an Immortal Soul stage cultivator with more than a thousand years of experience.
He was an Immortal Soul stage cultivator of the Samsara Sect's Path of Humanity. People called him the Peach Blossom Elder, Yi Longbing.
Amongst the Six Paths of the Samsara Sect, the Path of Humanity cultivated normal human temptations and many of their moves were derived from them. Their moves were all extremely fanciful. There were spells, illusions, and others. However, their battling abilities were the weakest.
However, through cultivating human temptations, one become much more self-aware. They faced the least bottlenecks and hence, they had a much easier time cultivating compared to the other Paths of the Samsara Sect. Cultivators from the Path of Humanity relied on their higher levels of mastery to compensate for their attacks' weaknesses.
Yi Longbing before them was much younger than Liu Zhikun. However, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Soul First Level. Soon, he would be cultivating his virtual entity. The two of them did not vary too much in terms of their innate abilities but instead, the difference in their spells accounted for their current disparity.
Yi Longbing specialized in cultivating sexual temptations. From his first day as a cultivator, he had gone through numerous trysts with many beautiful women. Hence, after he reached the Immortal Soul stage, he called himself the Peach Blossom Elder (Translator's Note: The peach blossom is a traditional Chinese symbol of love, just like the red rose in Western culture).
However, the spell Yi Longbing cultivated focused on leaving a trail of lovers behind without forming any emotional attachment. It sought to shatter the normal longing by men and women and the was slightly similar to some Buddhist mantras, particularly the Yab-Yum Mantra, Scarlet Complexion White Bone Mantra and the Heavenly Fragrant Skin Mantra.
Other than being clear about one's heart desire and knowing the true nature of sex, he too obtained a true understanding of procreation and the harmony between Yin and Yang. Fundamentally, he understood the meaning of life, just that it had a bad name to it.
Liu Zhikun and Yi Longbing looked at Lin Feng and clasped their hands together in greeting. "Master Lin." Liu Zhikun, said, with a smile, "Master Lin, it's been too long."
"The Netherworld Hell Holy Man. How have you been?" Lin Feng smiled at them when he saw them and returned the greeting. After both sides had sat down, they did not talk about anything serious. Instead. they mainly focused on idle chatter, with the emphasis being on the upcoming battle of the two Shis.
Let not mention Liu Zhikun or Yi Longbing, even Lin Feng himself understood the reason why they came.
Lin Feng understood their motives and went out to receive them personally. As the two sides talked and drank, both sides became clear of each other's attitudes. Liu Zhikun and Yi Longbing knew that their journey was not wasted and hence, felt pleased with themselves.
"Taoist Yi, I heard that your sect produced a special kind of medicine known as the Spiritual Feather Vine?" As they talked, Lin Feng asked suddenly.
Yi Longbing's gaze flashed slightly and he nodded his head on the spot, "Correct." Amongst the Six Paths of the Samsara Sect, the Path of Humanity was the best at growing medicines and herbs.
Lin Feng then asked, "I wonder if you could spare me some stalks? I will give you valuable in return, don't worry."
Yi Longbing looked at Lin Feng, paused for a while and then said, "Master Lin is generous and I am touched. However, truth to be told, my Path of Humanity possessed only one stalk. It may not be convenient to give it to Master Lin."
For such things, he had no reason to lie to Lin Feng. However, he did not mention the specific details as it would touch on the conflict within the Samsara Sect.
Earlier on, in one of the many conflicts between the Six Paths, the medicine valley of the Path of Humanity was attacked and half of his stock was destroyed. The Spiritual Feather Vein was relatively unscathed as a single sapling was left behind. Some more precious herbs were completely wiped out, leaving heavy losses for the Path of Humanity.
Hearing that, Lin Feng did not press the matter further. He nodded his head and said, "If that's the case, then we shall talk about it later." He did not wish to give up on owning a Spiritual Feather Vein.
He would naturally not give up as the Spiritual Feather Vein was one of the main ingredients required to form Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation.
Yi Longbing thought about it for a while and felt that it would be rude to reject Lin Feng outright and said immediately, "I heard that Master Lin possess a nascent soul magic item known as the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness which you had bestowed to your little disciple, Shi Tianhao."
Lin Feng looked at him and nodded his head slowly, "You know about the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness?"
After he ascertained that Cao Wei and the Heaven Lake Sect were after this Nascent Soul stage magic item, he did a thorough check of it through his system.
The Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness used to be part of an entire set of Nascent Soul stage magic items. There were a total of nine of them and they were called the Nine Familial Green Bronze Crucibles of Emptiness. The entire set of Nascent Soul magic items existed together with the magic treasure, the Mountain and River Void Crucible. Its owner was an independent cultivator known as the Mountain and River Holy Man who reached the Immortal Soul stage.
After the Mountain and River Holy Man fell into a conflict with the Heaven Lake Sect and was later murdered by them, the Mountain and River Void Crucible fell into their hands.
Strictly speaking, the Mountain and River Void Crucible was a magic treasure. To the Heaven Lake Sect, it was extremely precious. But the Nascent Soul stage Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness was not as important.
Lin Feng did not think so that Cao Wei's tireless efforts to obtain the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness was because of his kleptomania or his perfectionist desire.
Instead, he believed that the Mountain and River Void Crucible had many uses that could only be unlocked with the nine other crucibles.
However, while the information provided by the system was complete, Lin Feng still did not know Cao Wei's true intention.
Yi Longbing said slowly, "It appears that Master Lin too knows about the relationship between the Green Bronze Ding of Emptiness and the Mountain and River Void Crucible."
Lin Feng lifted his eyes to look at him and asked, "What do you know?"
"Please don't misunderstand, Master Lin. I do know the secrets of this magic treasure," Yi Longbing shook his head. "All I know is that the Heaven Lake Sect is trying their best to search for the Nine Crucibles. They currently only have Seven."
Lin Feng's heart trembled as he said, "Oh, seven?". Including the one he had on hand, there was still one missing crucible.
Yi Longbing looked at Lin Feng and said seriously, "I may not be very talented, but I happen to know the location of the last Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness."

Chapter 576: The Day of Battle
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Lin Feng looked at Yi Longbing and said, "Oh? Does Taoist Yi have an idea? Please say it."
"Master Lin doesn't need to give anything," Yi Longbing shook his head. "Ultimately, it is a piece of information that hasn't be verified. Treat it as a gift from me to you in celebration of you disciple's imminent victory."
A fair exchange was good. However, Yi Longbing intended to better his relationship with Lin Feng when he came to Xiling City this time. His action definitely has a hidden agenda.
With Lin Feng's current standing, even an Immortal Soul stage elder like Yi Longbing must take the initiative to cooperate with Lin Feng. To do so, he needed to humble himself first.
Lin Feng looked at Yi Longbing and smiled, "You are too kind. I thank you on behalf of my disciple."
Yi Longbing's source was rather simple. However, Lin Feng believed that it was rather accurate.
"I heard that the b*stard Cao Wei is in Xiling City. I'm sure he wants to take advantage of the situation," smiled Lin Feng to himself. "I'll be waiting for you."
In comparison to the Heaven Lake Sect, Lin Feng was more worried about the Mount Shu Sword Sect.
During the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference, Mount Shu Sword Sect was almost completely destroyed by him. They lost all their dignity. However, that was because their master, Xin Longsheng, and other Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators were doing closed-door training.
Lin Feng could more or less the reason for that. Like the Mount Shu Sword Sect's Saintly Celestial Sword Qi that worried Lin Feng, everyone in Mount Shu Sword Sect was worried about Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi. If Mount Shu Sword Sect did not appear, then it's fine. However, once Xin Longsheng appeared, it would mean that his closed-door training bore fruits.
At that time, with the combined pressure of the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Void Sect, two Holy Lands would simultaneously attempt to drive Lin Feng into a corner. In the Divine Lands, no sect other than the Great Void Sect could resist such pressure.
"I need to do more preparation," thought Lin Feng. "It's too early for me to say that I can deal with such a situation..."
As he finished his reception, Lin Feng sat quietly in his room. Suddenly, someone wished to see him.
Two people came. The man was slightly older and around 17 years old. His skin was dark and he was tall and skinny. His face bore a serious expression. It was Li Yuanfang.
The girl was slightly younger and only about 10 years old. She wore red and was small and cute. She was Luo Qingwu.
The two of them met each other outside Lin Feng's room. The Little Lolita was slightly embarrassed but she still came in with Li Yuanfang. Upon seeing him, the two of them knelt and bowed to Lin Feng.
After making her decision, the Little Lolita was a lot more open. She said, "I wish to join your sect, senior. I will listen to your teachings and hence, please accept me. I promise to work hard and be obedient."
This was akin to fulfilling Luo Qingwu's greatest hope and dream. Even if Lin Feng did not agree to her now, she would continue to ask until she managed to join his sect. For this, she was willing to sacrifice everything.
Li Yuanfang's gaze fell upon Luo Qingwu. He bowed to Lin Feng and then raised his head. He said seriously, "I benefitted greatly from senior's teachings. There's nothing I can do to repay you and I don't dare to demand much. I just wish to join the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I will listen to your teachings and run errands for the sect. May senior be compassionate enough to accept me."
With that, Li Yuanfang bowed his head deeply once more till it touched the ground.
He was completely in the Celestial Sect of Wonders' debt and he also felt a sense of belonging to the sect. Hence, when Ding Runfeng insulted the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he stood out willingly.
What he was concerned about was not whether he wished to submit to Lin Feng as his disciple. Instead, he was too deeply in Lin Feng's debt and hence, he felt that he could not fully repay it. If he joined Lin Feng's sect, that would be something else he felt he needed to repay.
When Ding Runfeng said that he was not a disciple of Lin Feng, Li Yuanfang, as a truly-genuine person, was extremely unhappy. Finally, he decided to join the Celestial Sect of Wonders, even if his only job there would be to sweep the floor.
Looking at Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu before him, Lin Feng smiled and with his mana, he made the both of them stand up.
"The Celestial Sect of Wonders accept all talents under the heavens. Since the two of you willingly join our sect, I will not reject you. However, we will discuss the specific ceremonies back at the mountain. For now, focus on cheering for Tianhao."
Lin Feng smiled, "The battle with Tianhao and Shi Tianyi is an exceptionally good opportunity for the two of you to learn something, so pay attention."
Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu bowed to Lin Feng and said, "Yes, master."
Three days passed and the day of the battle was imminent. The battle of destinies between Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi was about to start.
Lin Feng left his room and went to the garden outside. It was already filled with a group of people and his immediate disciples, along with the Virtuous Zen Master were at the head of the crowd. Everyone was waiting for him.
"Shall we go?" Lin Feng smiled and his mana enveloped everyone. In the blink of an eye, they crossed the infinite void and arrived outside of the Imperial City.
"You are too kind." After Lin Feng had landed, he greeted Shi Zongyue and the Flying Snow Swordmaster. Then, his gaze upon Crown Prince Shi Chongyun.
The arrogant and violent Crown Prince was much more restrained compared to when Lin Feng last saw him on Xingyun Peak. However, he also became more devious. Upon seeing Lin Feng, he bowed in unison with Shi Xingyun to him.
After Lin Feng's feet touched the ground, he released Xiao Yan and the rest first. Xiao Yan looked at Shi Chongyun and an odd expression crossed his face.
While Shi Chongyun did not reveal his mana, Xiao Yan could feel that he had not wasted his time. He broke through the mid-Nascent Soul stage and he was able to receive the Nine Heavens Clear Air and the Physical Soul Body.
However, compared to that day on Xingyun Peak, Xiao Yan's improvement was drastic too. While Shi Chongyun's powers far exceeded that of any ordinary mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, Xiao Yan could still thrash him in a one-on-one battle.
Shi Chongyun looked at Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan and his gaze flashed. He did not say much but instead, greeted them normally.
If he did not pick a fight, Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan would not bother him. Everyone would follow normal protocols.
Shi Xingyun stood by the side and looked at the scene before them. She shook her head while laughing.
Shi Zongyue looked quietly at Shi Chongyun's behavior and the nodded his head. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Master Lin, please!"
With that, Shi Zongyue clapped his hands together and a talisman flew into the tail and shone with light. Soon, it turned into a light portal, from which red light spewed forth.
The light portal was the door to the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land.
This was a completely separate space from everywhere else. It was like an entire Middle World by itself and its environment was different from those anywhere else. The sky was deep red.
Other than the red sky, there were many strange auras in the Ancient Land. The spiritual energy appeared random and odd but there was a certain order to it.
Lin Feng felt it for a while and said, "No wonder the Immemorial Celestial Dragon moved away, the spiritual energy is unsuited for demons to cultivate. It appears chaotic but there are certain patterns and rhythms to it and is rather suited for human cultivators."
"Strictly speaking, it is ideal for half-human, half-dragon beings to cultivate."
The dark red light would occasionally shine with white, green, black, red and yellow light. They were dazzling and eye-catching, resembling a dragon in mid-flight.
That was no ordinary illusion. In it, the power of a dragon could be felt. That was caused by the fusion of the spiritual energy within the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land the remnant draconic aura.
Some draconic auras were exceptionally powerful and were likely left behind by Dragon Kings who had formed the Undying Demon Soul. The combination of these powerful auras and spiritual energy would form these light dragons that would take on the characteristics of real dragons.
As Lin Feng and rest gasped in awe, they truly realized that this was the place where the Great Qin Empire took on its draconic nature. Compared to Mount Yujing, it was indeed different.
The second-generation disciples, along with Xiao Zhener, Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu and Jun Zining, looked at the scene with interest.
However, Xiao Yan and his fellow disciples, along with Tun Tun and Zhuge Fengling, focused on something else entirely.
The few of them looked all around and then gathered together to whisper.
Shi Chongyun and Shi Xingyun were curious as Shi Xingyun attempted to go near them. Shi Chongyun abashedly followed in her steps as they tried to make out their conversations.
"This doesn't feel right, why can't I see any sign of destruction? Could it be that the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land possessed some regenerative capabilities?"
Tun Tun's mouth twitched and said, "That's impossible. It must be hidden elsewhere. We have just yet to discover it."
Zhuge Fengling then looked curiously and said, "I really can't see anything wrong with it. So strange."
Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing said nothing. However, their expressions were strange.
The Flying Snow Swordmaster looked at them mumbling and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing, nothing," Xiao Yan denied immediately. Then, he mumbled to himself, "It's been three days. This shouldn't be the case. Did the sun rise from the West this morning?"
The Flying Snow Swordmaster and Shi Chongyun were confused. Then, they saw Shi Zongyue's and Shi Xingyun's mouths twitched. Shi Zongyue's face was dark as if he had thought of something unpleasant while Shi Xingyun smiled bitterly.
"Sister, what are they talking about?" Shi Chongyun telepathically asked Shi Xingyun.
Shi Xingyun sighed, "They were curious that ever since Shi Tianhao entered the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, he did not wreck havoc over the place."
According to previous experiences, this place should have been a mess by now.
Shi Chongyun opened his mouth but said nothing.
"Did the little b*stard mature?" In the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, and Ancient Huanghai World and the hunt for Kun Peng Secret Treasure, Shi Xingyun witnessed how Shi Tianhao was an expert at raising hell. Hence, her heart began to beat faster as her gaze swept through the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land.
Prince Anliang, Shi Zongyue, had long been doing that. He fervently wished that he could scour every inch of the place.

Chapter 577: Even If I Go Easy, You Will Still Be Thrashed
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"The almost mature Dragon Tendon Grass and the Shuhuan Fruit, along with other spiritual herbs and medicines, have not been eaten."
"The Mixed-Blood Water Dragons have not been poached."
"The Draconic Blood Spiritual Fountain has not been destroyed or looted."
Shi Zongyue and Shi Xingyun swept the surroundings with their eyes and realized that nothing was amiss. The two of them were shocked and could not believe it.
Xiao Yan and the other disciples rubbed their eyes and said, "Did the sun really rise from the West?"
Zhu Yi smiled and said, "As Little Junior grows up, he will not create trouble like what he used to do in the past."
Yang Qing too said, "Today is his big day, I don't think he has the energy to care about other things."
"Impossible!" Tun Tun cried. "I made a bet with him! If he did not wreck havoc, I would fast!"
Xiao Yan's mouth twitched as he said, "The mountains and rivers may change but not one's personality. You, fast? Whoever that believe you are a fool. Then again, I doubt that Little Junior had been this obedient. I bet something is amiss, just that we haven't discovered it."
With that, Shi Chongyun sighed and said, "The Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land is filled with enchantments. Even if he wishes to wreck havoc, he..."
Here, Shi Chongyun's voice trailed off. It appeared as if he just thought of something.
At the same time, Shi Zongyue's face changed drastically. Shi Xingyun too appeared jolted. "Could it be that..."
Shi Zongyue did not even inform Lin Feng before he dashed off. Lin Feng and the rest followed tightly behind him. Quickly, a giant structure appeared before them.
Lin Feng cast his gaze over and realized that the structure looked odd. It was like an hourglass.
It appeared to have been made out of jagged, bare rocks. Its bottom was humongous and its mid-portion was slim. It stretched into the red sky like the canopy of a tree. However, it was not leafy but rocky instead.
At the top of the structure, five-colored dragon auras connected directly to the heavens while spreading in all four directions.
Between the structure, one could see thick, white bones. Around the white bones, Mighty Auspicious Clouds swirled around them. They were indeed Bones of the True Dragon.
The part where the structure caved downwards was like a basin at the bottom of a canyon. In its center, one could see mountains and lakes dotting a very wide expanse.
The structure was enormous. It was bigger than any ordinary mountain.
At the top part of the basin, there were many empty seats. These seats were large but narrow. While it was only a few meters wide, it was hundreds of meters long.
There were also many square and circular holes dotting the surroundings of the basin.
Also, there were many giant stone pillars extending into the heavens.
Regardless whether it's the empty space or the stone pillars, they were all evidently ancient. One could the marks left by the many dragon scales.
"Is this the Dragon Battle Arena?" Xiao Yan muttered to himself. "The center of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Arena where the Immemorial Celestial Dragon rested and fought."
He looked at the ground and the stone pillars. "These are the seats the dragons left for themselves. Did they lie on the ground or did they curled themselves around the stone pillars?"
Shi Xingyun replied, "Exactly, the ancestors of Great Qin wished to preserve the original appearance of the Dragon Battle Arena. Hence, everything was exactly the way the dragons left it."
She seemed listless for a while but then, she steadied herself and continued, "However, in the Dragon Battle Arena, the Great Qin Empire cast many enchantments and spell formations. Some of them deal with the flow of spiritual energy in the area and make it easier for humans to cultivate. The others have protective purposes..."
As she talked, they heard an angry grunt from Shi Zongyue, who appeared incapable of words.
Shi Xingyun sensed quietly for a while and fell silent too. Shi Chongyun gazed fiercely at Xiao Yan and the rest and said, "Look what he did!"
Xiao Yan and the rest were clueless but Lin Feng knew in his heart. He sighed.
The spell formations the Great Qin Empire cast over the Dragon Battle Arena were completely messed up. The spell formations were probably cast with the help of many Treasure Bones of the True Dragon which helped to concentrate the spiritual energy in the place.
However, these Treasure Bones of the True Dragon were all removed.
Without using one's brain, one knew who did it.
Shi Tianhao was permitted entry into the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land and the Dragon Battle Arena by the Qin Emperor, Shi Yu. With Shi Yu's permission, the spell formations would not target Shi Tianhao.
This was the equivalent of inviting a thief into one's home.
A ray of light flew out from the Dragon Battle Arena and stopped before everyone. It was the Vivant Joy Holy Man. He grimaced at Lin Feng, Shi Zongyue, the Flying Snow Swordmaster and the Virtuous Zen Master before greeting them.
Shi Zongyue was like a volcano that was about to erupt. "The little b*stard dug up the dragon bones?"
The Vivant Joy Holy Man sighed and he opened his palms. In his palm, one could see a few small crystals the size of tiny grains of rice. From these crystals, one could feel a powerful dragon aura and mana. These were the dragon bones used to cast the formation.
"He did not take them and he returned them to us. However, the formation can no longer be cast. The flow of the spiritual energy of the Dragon Battle Aura changed completely," said the Vivant Joy Holy Man. "I've reported this matter to His Majesty. His Majesty's order is to let him do as he please."
Shi Zongyue was both angry and amused. "Eh, with three days of effort he completely undermined Shi Tianyi's training for a year."
Shi Tianyi spent a year in his youth in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. Regardless whether it's the Dragon Battle Arena or the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, he was extremely familiar with both.
However, now that the Dragon Battle Arena had changed completely, it was unfamiliar to both Shi Tianyi and Shi Tianhao. It became a neutral battleground offering neither side an advantage.
The Vivant Joy Holy Man shook his head, "I'm afraid not."
Shi Zongyue was shocked. He felt the aura in the Dragon Battle Arena and an odd expression crossed his face. "What a lad!"
Shi Chongyun and Shi Xingyun did not possess enough mastery and both of them were far away from the Dragon Battle Arena. They were unfamiliar with its spiritual energy. The Vivant Joy Holy Man looked at them, sighed and said, "After Shi Tianhao changed the configurations of the Dragon Battle Arena, it became more advantageous for cultivators of the soul rather than cultivators who focus on martial prowess."
Shi Chongyun and Shi Xingyun were both shocked.
Everyone knew that as Shi Tianyi was born with polycoria, his soul was superior to normal mortals'. After cultivating the soul mantras of the Great Void Sect, the power of his soul became exceedingly strong. Very few cultivators could compare to him.
Similar to Wang Lin, very few cultivators focused on soul cultivation. Even Lin Feng would admit that only Wang Lin and Zhu Yi could match Shi Tianyi in a battle of their souls.
The former almost died and existed as a soul in the Void Battleground for decades before he was finally able to purify his soul with the River Styx Primordial Water.
The latter cultivated his Qi for many years and combined his literary talents with his mana. His ignited his intellectual mind to cleanse his body and heart. His soul transcended and he became superior to the scholars of the past. In the end, he obtained an extremely powerful soul due to his hard work.
On the other hand, Shi Tianhao was the strongest physical martial artist under Lin Feng.
Originally, he was like a spawn of an Immemorial beast and already blessed with superior physique. After he was further nourished by the spiritual energy of wind and thunder, the Grand Moon Primordial Water, the Fleece of the Grand Sage, the True Kun Peng Blood and other treasures, his physical body became even stronger. His current physical body's strength was unprecedented.
However, he turned the battleground into something that's advantageous for Shi Tianyi.
There were two possibilities. Either he was an idiot, or he was supremely confident in himself.
"Could someone who forms his Aurous Core at 13 be an idiot?" Shi Xingyun and Shi Chongyun looked at each other and shook their heads.
After Xiao Yan and the rest recovered from their shock, they began guffawing in delight.
Even If I go easy, you will still be thrashed.
Lin Feng shook his head and laughed, "Stupid boy." While he said that, he approved of his action. In a practical battle, one must maximize one's own chance of success and weaken the enemy. That included using geography to one's advantage.
The battle of the two Shis, however, was a battle of destiny. Here, one's mental state and form were more important than mere advantages.
In the three days in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, Shi Tianhao accumulated the most amount of spiritual energy he had ever accumulated. All he was waiting for was to unleash them on Shi Tianyi.
"Let's go," Lin Feng said as he waved his sleeve. The group of them landed in the Dragon Battle Arena.
In the Dragon Battle Arena, there were already some people there. Upon seeing Lin Feng, they all nodded at him in greeting.
Lin Feng returned the greeting as he sat cross-legged in mid-air, carefree.
Xuan Li followed tightly behind him. Under Lin Feng's command, she too sat cross-legged by his side. However, she did not put the scabbard down as she continued to carry it. It was rather eye-catching.
Everyone got used to Xuan Li's presence in the three days. Xiao Yan, the other immediate disciples, and the Virtuous Zen Master followed Lin Feng as they sat down too.
The others sat in a row behind them as they waited for the battle to start.
The group of second-generation disciples brimmed with curiosity as they looked at the space before them and the canyon underneath them.
All of them had some level of Qi mastery and their senses were enhanced. However, after searching for a long while, they were unable to find the trace of a single person.
"Odd, where's Little Uncle?" Some of them asked curiously.
Xu Yunsheng said quietly, "I don't know. Let's talk less and wait patiently."
Shi Zongyue and the rest looked at the Vivant Joy Holy Man who shook his head. "After dismantling the dragon bones, he left the Dragon Battle Arena. On the orders of the Emperor, I did not bother to search for him."
Everyone was silent. As time passed, more and more spectators arrived at the Dragon Battle Arena. Soon, almost everyone was there.
From afar, white clouds began to form as some human outlines could be seen.
Everyone in the Dragon Battle Arena stared and said, "The Great Void Sect is here!"

Chapter 578: At the Center of the Dragon Battle Arena
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The white clouds crossed through the void and quickly reached the Dragon Battle Arena. People from the Great Qin Empire went up to receive them as they landed on a patch of ground.
The Great Qin Empire had arranged the seating of all powers that were there to view the battle, regardless whether they supported Shi Tianhao and the Celestial Sect of Wonders or if they supported Shi Tianyi of the Great Void Sect.
For the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect, they sat facing each other in the eastern and western side of the arena.
The Great Qin Empire, as the host, took the northern side. The many cultivators who came to spectate occupied the remaining seats.
The Great Void Sect was led by someone who looked like a child. His expression was calm and his gaze was ageless.
However, no one on scene would underestimate him. Everyone knew who he was. This person who looked like a child was actually a member of the Great Void Sect's Supreme Elder Council and a central figure of the Radical Faction, Kuang Heng.
Kuang Heng's fame had been established more than ten thousand years ago. He was well-known before the Xuan Lin Holy Man and the incumbent Great Void Sect Sect Leader Yan Nanlai. He personally took part in the war against the demons.
During the last War of the Two Worlds, the contemporary sect leader, the Tai Yi Holy Man, was seriously injured and hence, he retired to the Supreme Elder Council. At that time, the two most likely candidates for the title of Sect Leader was Yan Nanlai and Kuang Heng.
In the end, Yan Nanlai ascended the throne and Kuang Heng entered the Supreme Elder Council.
However, everyone knew that the reason Kuang Heng was not elected was not that he was inferior to Yan Nanlai. Instead, it was because he was from the Radical Faction and Yan Nanlai was from the Conservative Faction. The Great Void Sect preferred stability.
Kuang Heng's expression was calm and his gaze fell upon Lin Feng. He was neither sad nor happy. He just nodded his head in acknowledgment.
Lin Feng smiled back at him and nodded his head too.
Two people stood by Kuang Heng's side. One of them was a middle-aged man, the Xuan Li Holy Man and the other was a woman in white. She was the Elegant Cloud Holy Woman.
Without talking about anyone else, the three of them exerted a huge amount of pressure.
Two of them were Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators while one of them was an Immortal Soul Second Level cultivator. No sect could field so many high-level cultivators at one go. Even the Great Qin Empire and the Great Zhou Empire would find this hard to match.
The only sect with more cultivators in today's world was probably the Mount Shu Sword Sect. However, the Kuang Heng and the other two were only a small part of the Great Void Sect. They had yet to deploy every member of the Radical Faction.
The older and more well-informed ones knew that the actual helmsman of the Great Void Sect was the 'uncle' of the Xuan Li Holy Man and Kuang Heng's master. He belonged to the same generation as the Tai Yi Holy Man. He was the Zheng Yi Holy Man.
The person who brought the Xuan Lin Holy Man and the Elegant Clouds Holy Woman away from the Yu Ancestral Home was him. It was also him who chose not to leave Mount Baiyun. He entrusted the affairs of the Radical Faction to Kuang Heng and friends.
The Great Void Sect hardly revealed itself. While it commanded awe and respect, many people did not exactly feel its presence. Only today did they fully experience it.
The Celestial Sword Elder of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect sighed and thought, "The Radical Faction of the Great Void Sect is already much stronger than the Mount Shu Sword Sect. The many sects of the Divine Lands should thank the Conservative Faction for reining the Radical Faction in..."
The Heavenly Master Sword Sect he was from was aided by the Great Void Sect to act as a check against the Mount Shu Sword Sect. He understood the Great Void Sect better than most people.
Today, everyone who was supposed to be on-scene was present. The presence of so many powerful Great Void Sect cultivators caught everyone's attention.
In the Celestial Sect's camp, the Fatty Yan Wuwei twitched his mouth and said, "What's so special about it? It's all for show."
Liu Xiafeng shook his head and said, "That may not be the case. While they are in a dominant position, it was dishonorable for them to take in Shi Tianyi despite the blood debt he bore."
Right as he said that, Zhu Yi, who was sitting behind him, said, "One can say that the Great Void Sect is power-hungry and Machiavellian, but one can't say that they're dishonorable."
"Here, no matter whether you belong to the Radical Faction or the Conservative Faction, no one will act honorably," said Zhu Yi without turning around. "The Conservative Faction plots through alliances while the Radical Faction seeks hegemonic dominance. The aim of the Great Void Sect has always been clear and they will use all methods at their disposal. They are truly Machiavellian in this aspect."
"After they set a goal, they will advance towards it without fail. Their fame and acclaim are given by outsiders who hope that they can live up to the lofty values that are supposedly attributed to them."
"Because to outsiders, this will be the most beneficial outcome. This will reduce the perceived threat of this powerful organization to the minimum."
As Zhu Yi spoke, he laughed quietly and said, "Worldly fame and reputation are like a chain around one's neck. Funnily, the younger generation of Great Void Sect disciples actually put on this chain."
"However, the elders who truly helm the sect are clear. They know that they did not get to their current positions by listening to the opinions of others."
Ever since he knew about his parents' past, Zhu Yi spent time researching the Great Void Sect and hence, his understanding of him exceeded that of a normal person.
Yan Wuwei withdrew his fat neck and said nothing. Liu Xiafeng ruffled his own hair and asked, "But, Second Uncle, if that's the case, then why is the Great Void Sect, the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Thunderclap Temple known as the Three Holy Great Holy Land that destroyed the Satanic Way in the Middle Ages?"
"According to what you said, what's the difference between the Satanic Way and the Just Way? Is it a simple matter of the victor writing the history books?"
While Liu Xiafeng cultivated on Mount Yujing, he was still cognisant about the affairs of the outside world.
In response to Liu Xiafeng's question, Zhu Yi was not angry. Instead, he turned his head nodded his head in approval and said, "You are right. This is not a simple of winners taking it all. However, the difference between the Just Way and the Satanic Way is not as clear-cut as black and white."
"There are many ways of the Tao as human nature is similar."
Liu Xiafeng and the rest pondered Zhu Yi's words as Xiao Yan laughed, "Sit tight and calm yourself. For these matters, he who laughs in the end laughs the loudest."
As everyone looked at Lin Feng, they themselves felt calm. The Fatty Yan Wuwei felt Lin Feng's serenity and lowered his head and said, "I was rash."
Lin Feng's back was facing them as his expression did not change. Looking at the eye-catching and pressurizing group from the Great Void Sect, he almost laughed as he thought, "Just as Xiao Yan said, he who laughs in the end laughs the loudest. The higher one stands, the greater one will fall."
As Kuang Heng and company took seat, they were surrounded by a group of Great Void Sect disciples. Many of them brimmed with the vitality of life and they all appeared exceptional. One could see the pure Yang entity, Ding Runfeng, amongst them but not Bai Xiqian.
As everyone looked at the Great Void Sect disciples, they thought, "No wonder they are known as the place of genii."
Amongst the Great Void Sect disciple, one of them was particularly eye-catching. His expression was solemn and his two eyes were shut. It was Shi Tianyi.
Everyone who previously saw him realized something strange when they looked at him again. There was something different about him as if something had fundamentally changed.
Shi Tianyi looked at the three of them and bowed. Then, he jumped down from the platform and landed in the canyon at the bottom. He placed his hands behind his back and stood quietly.
"Is my dear brother not yet here?" Shi Tianyi projected his voice.
The younger cultivators of the Dragon Battle Arena shifted restlessly. This was the first time Shi Tianyi goaded Shi Tianhao into battle so directly.
After a long while, no one heard Shi Tianhao's reply.
In the Dragon Battle Arena, waves of mana began to simmer. No one spoke out but everyone discussed silently.
On the day of the battle, Shi Tianyi arrived on scene but not his opponents. This raised many eyebrows.
Shi Tianyi waited for a long while before he tilted his head slightly. "Do you not intend to show up?"
"Why are you so anxious? Is your right eye even ready?" A cold voice came from the Celestial Sect's camp.
At this moment, everyone's gaze fell onto Lin Feng and company. However, other than Lin Feng, everyone looked at the youth in purple robes with a head full of white hair.
"That's the Third Disciple of the Celestial Sect, Wang Lin. He was the one who blinded Shi Tianyi's left eye!"
Those who understood what had transpired were all shocked.
"Earlier on, he was still in his Aurous Core stage and he managed to partially blind Shi Tianyi. Now, he had formed his nascent soul. Isn't he stronger that Shi Tianyi now?"
"That may not be the case. Shi Tianyi also became stronger and one can only tell after a fight. However, he is definitely someone to watch out for. I heard that he killed Nascent SOul stage cultivators in the Void Battleground like man culling curs."
Now, Wang Lin had become something of a legend in the Divine Lands. With one bold move, he made himself go from zero to hero.
Initially, he was the disciple with the slowest progress Lin Feng. Some even mocked that Wang Lin was Lin Feng's only mistake in choosing disciples.
Then, he slowly became famous during the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai. Then, his progress shot up exponentially. In the span of a few months, he ascended to the early Aurous Core stage and shocked everyone.
If his previous actions weren't impressive enough, his battle against Shi Tianyi in the Void Battleground, where he blinded him with only a mid-Aurous Core stage mastery, was enough to make him famous throughout the Divine Lands.
Finally, Wang Lin, who had never been an eye-catching disciple of Lin Feng, was the first to form his nascent soul. He finally became one of the upcoming cultivators in the world that would make Immortal Soul stage elders look twice.
As everyone around them discussed, Shi Tianyi suddenly opened both his eyes and stared at Wang Lin. His left eye, which had only one pupil, shrunk.
This white-haired youth was the one who ended his legend, partially blinding him in the process.
However, it was also because of him that motivated him to progress even further.
Shi Tianyi's right eye dazzled with a stunning light. The golden light enveloped the entire Dragon Battle Arena and in the light, one can see many forms rising and falling. It was like a world by itself.

Chapter 579: The Dragon Rock Gate Appears, A Battle Till the End
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Amongst all of Lin Feng's disciples, Wang Lin was the only one who could truly piss Shi Tianyi off.
Just by looking at Wang Lin's expressionless face, Shi Tianyi could feel his left eye throbbing in pain.
Amongst the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, many felt odd that Wang Lin stepped up.
Especially the bunch of second-generation disciples, which included Wang Lin's own disciple Li Xingfei. All of them were shocked that the usually uncaring Wang Lin would take the initiative this time.
However, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing looked at each other and smiled.
Looking at Shi Tianyi's uninjured, right eye, Xiao Yan laughed softly. He stood out and a mighty 'boom' came from his back. His wings, made from the four primordial fires, burned fiercely as a powerful, all-destroying aura began to spread.
By his side, Zhu Yi stood up quietly too. A clear light shone from his head and in the light, one could see an article floating in the void. In the background, one could hear the scholars reciting. It was as if a thousand saints were reciting poetry as they sought to illuminate the world with their literary talent.
In the Dragon Battle Arena, everyone became speechless upon looking at Wang Lin and them.
Xiao Yan, the main disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, first revealed his powers during the battle of Shazhou City. Afterwards, on Xingyun Peak, he earned his fame after battling Shi Chongyun, the Nascent Soul stage Crown Prince of the Great Qin Empire.
He became famous before Wang Lin but afterward, he went downhill. Ever since the battle of Xinyun Peak, not much news came from him. He was almost forgotten by everyone in the world and his many juniors stole his spotlight.
However, just a month ago, Xiao Yan was reborn. Like a fire god descending onto the mortal realm, he destroyed the Yu Family and killed dozens of Nascent Soul stage Yu Family elders alone. His Heaven Fire Lotus incinerated three late-Nascent Soul stage cultivators and immediately, he became the most eye-catching disciple of Lin Feng.
Even though his juniors formed their nascent souls before him, it had no impact on his glory.
Zhu Yi, who was next to him, was dazzling in his own right as well. He may not appear extraordinary, but he was the pillar amongst all of Lin Feng's disciples, never disappointing anyone.
His literary air triggered the acclaim of the saints and he earned the allegiance of a Metaplasia stage magic treasure when he was in the late-Aurous Core stage. No one had accomplished anything like this.
Looking at them, many people thought, "Is everyone in the Celestial Sect of Wonders a monster..."
Compared to Xiao Yan and friends, the Great Void Sect, long known as where genii gathered, appeared insignificant.
Especially when they saw Yue Hongyan standing by Xiao Yan's side. The Great Void Sect appeared even more inferior.
In the three days, everyone in Xiling City knew about the battle between the early-Aurous Core stage Yue Hongyan and the late-Aurous Core stage Bai Xiqian, an immediate disciple of the Great Void Sect. In a fair fight, Bai Xiqian was thrashed.
"Does my good brother only know how to hide behind people?" Shi Tianyi looked at Wang Lin and the rest. His expression did not change as a heavy air enveloped him. White light glowed on his body and an aggressive spirit filled him. The white light shot into the red skies above.
At this moment, thunderclouds covered the skies in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. Five-colored lights shone out from the thunderclouds and a golden dragon descended on the northernmost patch of land in the Dragon Battle Arena.
As the dragon descended, one could see the outline of the Qin Emperor Shi Yu. A group of people followed him, led by a middle-aged scholarly-looking man. He appeared to possess no sign of cultivation but no one dared to underestimate him. He was Wu Qingrou, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire.
Shi Yu's gaze swept through the Dragon Battle Arena as he said, "Are the participants here?"
Shi Tianyi said, "No."
Shi Yu looked at Lin Feng, who returned the gaze calmly. In the next instant, both of their eyes flashed.
In the Dragon Battle Arena, Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man both appeared slightly startled. Then, the Elegant Clouds Holy Woman, Shi Zongyue, the Celestial Sword Elder, the Flying Snow Swordmaster and company too turned their gaze to the southern side of the Dragon Battle Arena.
More and more people turned their gazes there. Shi Tianyi, Xiao Yan, Wang Lin, Zhu Yi and the rest too looked in that direction.
While they were separated by a large distance and buffetted by strong winds, everyone could hear heavy footsteps gradually approaching.
For cultivators below the Immortal Soul stage, the footsteps appeared to step on their very hearts.
In the next moment, the footsteps stopped and a great 'boom' could be heard. It appeared as if something heavy had smashed onto the ground. In the next instant, they saw someone jumping into the sky and somersaulting in mid-air before landing in the Dragon Battle Arena.
When everyone saw who it was, they were all shocked.
They saw a huge figure cloaked in golden light. It was a like a humanoid Primordial Age beast. Violence permeated every inch of the Dragon Battle Arena.
He landed in the south of the Dragon Battle Arena and with each step he took to its center, his footsteps sounded like thunder.
With each step he took, the golden light on his body gradually disappeared and his body shrank in size. Finally, the golden light completely disappeared and his body was no taller than 3 meters.
At this point, the person's body became enveloped with greenish-purple lightning and howling gales. Lightning sizzled around his body terrifyingly. He was like a horrifying demon.
However, the golden light just now, the lightning and gale disappeared from his body and his tall stature was revealed.
While he was only around 13 years old, his body was tall and straight. His physique was perfect as if the heavens had made him personally.
His white-jade skin was flawless and glowed. While it appeared harmless and beautiful like porcelain, everyone present could feel the unbelievably horrifying power concealed within his body.
His jet-black hair came down to his shoulders and his eyes were bright. His eyeballs spun and a smile crossed the youth's face. As he talked, he waved to people in the arena and even blowing kisses here and there.
Everyone there almost fell over themselves in shock. They were all stunned speechless. Everyone thought that this b*stard was late because he was too worried or scared. It appeared not.
He appeared to walk slowly but steadily. When he reached the plains of the basin, he stopped and faced the Celestial Sect of Wonders seated in the east and bowed, "Master, I'm here."
He was Lin Feng's most junior disciple and the protagonist of today's battle, Shi Tianhao.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Shi Tianhao nodded his head and turned to look at Shi Tianyi before him. The smile disappeared as he said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, my brother."
"I need your help to open the Dragon Rock Gate. I'm willing to wait," said Shi Tianyi quietly.
Shi Tianhao's bright eyes blinked as he replied, "Right, I almost forgot. Destroying you is secondary, the main purpose here today is to open the gate."
He turned his head around to look as he asked, "Where is it?"
He looked to the north and noticed the Qin Emperor, Shi Yu, smiling. He looked up into the sky and his gaze appeared to have solidified.
In the next instant, the red skies above everyone's head made a terrifyingly loud bellow. The space appeared to have been twisted as it turned into a giant whirlpool that appeared to stretch for hundreds of kilometers.
Lin Feng too raised his head to look at the sky. He noticed that in the dark-red whirlpool, one could hear the roars of dragons. Initially, it was rather soft. Then, it became louder and louder.
A milky-jade colored door appeared slowly from the whirlpool. It was 30 meters high and the door was tightly shut. There were engravings of dragons all over the door.
The eyes of these dragons lit up together and gave off a golden light. They appeared to have come to life. The roars of dragons came from them.
As the white-jade door descended, a rain of light poured from the skies. They resembled falling flower petals, turning the red skies into a dazzling gold.
"Is this the Dragon Rock Gate?" Everyone looked at the white jade door. Shi Yu opened his mouth and said slowly, "The Shi Family of the Great Qin Empire inherited the blood of the dragons. It is our honor to have the two of you here."
"In the Dragon Battle Arena, both of you can show off your powers and skills and determine the victor. If the intensity of your battle passed the restriction of the Dragon Rock Gate, then you may open the gate and enter it for a single day and take the treasures within."
Shi Yu's gaze then swept over Lin Feng and Kuang Heng. Both of them nodded as Shi Yu continued, "Now, you may begin."
Just as he said, one could see in the basin's plains two humanoid shadows flashing. It was like witnessing the collision of two comets as both combatants rushed towards each other.
Clashes resounded from the Dragon Battle Arena and the gale in the Arena was slowly ripped apart.
In the first instant, the Mighty Auspicious Clouds of the dragons appeared as they tried to contain the shockwaves from these clashes to within the Dragon Battle Arena.
In an instant, the two combatants clashed almost dozens of times. With each clash, it appeared to be a clash between two celestial bodies, striking awe and fear in everyone's heart.
Even the Immortal Soul stage elder looked at the battle intensely.
"This battle will enter history," said the Starry Swordmaster slowly. The Sun Radiance Swordmaster by his side nodded his head in agreement.
Given the age of the two Shis, it was astounding that they possessed such mastery, power, and skills.
The Immortal Soul stage elders thought back to their late-Aurous Core and early-Nascent Soul stage days and realized that the two Shis before them were way superior. Their hearts trembled.
"Boom!"
Another clash. Light and fog rolled and a gale roared. It took some time for everything to calm down.
The two figures in the arena faced each other. Shi Tianhao stood in the East with an expressionless face. He stared intently at Shi Tianyi and tilted his head and said, "Shi Tianyi, it's been too long."
Shi Tianyi looked at him and said after a long while, "You are right, Shi Tianhao. It's been too long."
Earlier on, when the two of them met, they would refer to each other as brothers. In that term of address, it ran foul with the stench of mockery, irony, and belittlement.
Today, however, they referred to each other by their full names. This meant that both of them had only one goal in mind.
In today's battle, they would not cease until they die!

Shi Tianhao calmly stood where he was. His form was evidently different from his form before.
He did not display his terrifying form earlier on. After Shi Tianhao had perfectly merged his Fleece of the Grand Sage, Heaven-Shaking Thunderstorm, and his other attacks into his physical body, he no longer exhibited the Thunderstorm Avatar and the Golden Great Beast Form.
His form earlier was his cultivation form and not his battling form.
Now, Shi Tianhao's originally jade-white appearance began to glow with a faint golden light. Underneath his skin, a greenish-purple light flashed non-stop.
However, his body did not change. He was still a tall, young man.
However, the vitality and strength in his blazing hot body were like an active volcano that could not stop erupting. Such power made worried all cultivators below the Immortal Soul stage.
The power of his physical body surpassed that of late Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had merged their cosmic forms together with their physical body.
Looking at Shi Tianhao before them, they were deeply moved.
Shi Tianyi too appeared different compared to before. His skin shone with a golden light like a Buddha statue.
He had mastered the ultimate defensive Buddhist move, the Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak, which pushed his body to its limits.
An immovable, eternal and indestructible power began to appear.
However, at this moment, Shi Tianyi's golden Buddha statue-like body began to crack!
The Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak was broken. During the exchange of blows just now, Shi Tianhao whacked Shi Tianyi's Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak like a hammer smashing a walnut. Through sheer force, he was able to crack the Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak!
Looking at this scene, the onlookers all took in a deep breath.
To be frank, had Shi Tianyi not cultivated the ultimate defensive move of the Great Thunderclap Temple and instead, the defensive move of some other sect, he may have been beaten to a bloody pulp by Shi Tianaho.
Thinking about it here, the hearts of every single cultivator under the Immortal Soul stage chilled. If they were in Shi Tianyi's position, they would have been beaten to death by Shi Tianhao.
Even the Celestial Sect of Wonders looked at this scene with shock.
Xiao Yan thought about the spar they had when they just entered the Foundation Establishment stage a long time ago.
Then, Shi Tianhao was only four to five years old. He had already exhibited an enormous amount of physical prowess. When they battled, Xiao Yan knew that in a strictly physical fight he would have been defeated.
He looked at Wang Lin and Zhu Yi, both of whom were in their Nascent Soul stage, and asked, "Do you two dare to battle Little Junior using only physical strength?"
Zhu Yi, who was normally a very calm person, glared at him and said, "If I go insane, then maybe."
Wang Lin thought about it carefully for a while and said, "The Yellow Springs will not die. I can only guarantee that Little Junior won't be able to kill me. However, even after my body turns into the Yellow Spring, I cannot fight head-on. Before the Yellow Spring can eradicate his physical prowess, I'm sure that he will have destroyed it."
Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Yue Hongyan. The red-haired girl, normally fearless, smiled bitterly and said, "After I reach the late-Aurous Core stage, I may be able to battle him using the Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax. I don't dare to take him head-on in a purely physical brawl."
Xiao Zhener, who stood by the side, smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, you are the only one in the same stage as him. What about yourself?"
He did not care that his own disciples were behind. Xiao Yan chewed on a stalk of grass in his mouth and said casually, "It's simple. I can't beat the little b*stard in a battle of physical strength and prowess. In an all-out fight, I can use my Tri Fire Lotus to bombard him into oblivion. If I fail, I will die."
The Celestial Sect of Wonders burst into a discussion. Shi Tianyi, who was in the arena, had the deepest impression of Shi Tianhao's strength.
He lowered his head to look at the cracks on his golden body as his eyes flashed. "I can't believe that you are this strong."
Earlier on, in the Void Battleground, the Marquis of Jinghuan did not use all of his powers. However, as a late-Nascent Soul stage cultivator of the Martial Way, he was still unable to crack Shi Tianyi's Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak till it looked like a wrecked statue despite his physical prowess.
At this moment, Shi Tianyi's Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak was broken. The indestructible and unmovable power gradually began to disappear.
He quickly withdrew the Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak and said, "I've heard for a long while that your physical strength is terrifying. Hence, I want to see it for myself. It appears that the rumors are true. Since that's the case, I shan't let you touch me anymore."
Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "Do you think I won't be able to touch your body just because you say so?"
As he said that, he rushed towards Shi Tianyi as quickly as a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was next to Shi Tianyi as he punched out.
Both pupils in Shi Tianyi's right eye flashed as a golden light spread from it. It turned into fog and in the fog, numerous runes appeared and floated in mid-air. They began to organize themselves into paragraphs as they started to form a world.
"Are you trying to create a false world?" Shi Tianhao suddenly became alert as he stopped himself.
Shi Tianyi looked at him calmly and said, "What's wrong? Can't you differentiate between reality and illusion? Are you afraid that I'm actually an illusion? Are you afraid of entering the world I created and hence falling under my control?"
"Speaking from the heart, your senior Wang Lin's soul is extremely powerful," said Shi Tianyi quietly. "My right eye isn't very effective against him, particularly since he was prepared."
Shi Tianyi's tone was slow and casual. It was almost as if he was talking about daily matters to Shi Tianhao. "However, you are different. Your soul is ordinary and the disparity between our souls is too wide. You cannot differentiate between reality and illusion."
Shi Tianhao bared his teeth and said with a smile, "Don't talk so much crap. If you dare, come over."
"Do you think that my polycoria is used only for defense? Do you think that as long as you don't come near to me, you won't be hurt?" Shi Tianyi said quietly. "You are wrong, fatally wrong. Ever since my right eye gazed at you, you have already been trapped in the world I created."
In the next instant, Shi Tianhao suddenly heard Shi Tianyi's voice from behind his back. He could even feel Shi Tianyi's breath on his neck.
"Now, do you understand?" Another Shi Tianyi appeared just inches away from Shi Tianhao. In his hand, a light blazed crazily. It was both fog and electricity. He smashed it straight towards the back of Shi Tianhao's head!
At this moment, Shi Tianhao smiled, "You are the wrong who misunderstand."
As he said that, he vigorously turned his body around. His right hand was clenched in a fist and as he raised his arm, his right fist was like a hammer smashing down towards Shi Tianyi!
"Boom!"
Shi Tianhao's punch directly blew apart space itself. Numerous spiritual energies were destroyed. Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain and Pond all flashed into existence before heading straight for oblivion. From their destruction, a terrifying, unlimited power appeared. The energy burst forth!
Heavenly Hammer of the Eight Trigrams!
Shi Tianhao's hammer was extremely fast. Despite attacking later, it was quicker than Shi Tianyi's attack. Before Shi Tianyi's right hand reached his head, Shi Tianhao had already punched his mid-section.
Shi Tianyi, who had shed his Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak flew back immediately with blood spewing out from his mouth.
Looking at this scene, Yue Hongyan's eyes flashed. Lin Feng did not turn his head back. Instead, he said with a smile, "It appears that Hongyan had learned something."
Yue Hongyan replied, "Master, after I learned the Heavenly Hammer of the Eight Trigrams from you, I can only form the Resounding Thunder Hammer, the Sturdy Mountain Hammer and the Expansive Earth Hammer. Now, as I look at Shi Tianhao's perfect Heavenly Hammer of the Eight Trigrams, I learned much. I believe a few days of self-study and reflection will greatly benefit me."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's best for you to figure this out by yourself."
Yue Hongyan bowed and said, "Yes, master."
On the Great Qin Empire's side, Shi Chongyun nodded his head and said, "While Shi Tianyi's right eye can form a false world, the world is not meant for offense. Even if he creates an illusion of attack, it can only control his enemy, rather than harm or kill him."
"If he wants to attack, Shi Tianyi must make the move himself."
Shi Chongyun then said, "If he cast the spell from afar, then it's still okay. However, he went to attack Shi Tianhao from a close distance. He did not expect Shi Tianhao to react so quickly to the point where his counter-attack was faster than Shi Tianyi's own attack. Without the Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak, Shi Tianyi is now at a severe disadvantage."
Shi Xingyun, by his side, said, "Brother, Shi Tianyi is not so simple."
"Oh?" Shi Chongyun knew that his sister was special. While her mastery may not be as good as his, her soul was exceptionally powerful.
Hearing Shi Xingyun's words, he immediately turned his focus back to the Dragon Battle Arena.
As he watched Shi Tianyi fly back because of Shi Tianhao's punch, he noticed that Shi Tianhao did not follow up with more attacks. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at his fist.
"Cunning indeed. However, did I hit an illusion?"
A third Shi Tianyi appeared not too far from where he was. His expression was calm as he said, "Naturally, I know that you are exceptionally powerful physically. Hence, why would I stupidly go near you?"
Shi Tianhao waved his hand and said, "Oh, then what do you plan to do? Have a staring match with me till one of us die from hunger?"
"Don't worry, it's coming," Shi Tianyi smiled as the void began to vibrate.
Shi Tianhao swept his surrounding telepathically. He could only feel that many new items appeared in the void. However, they weren't spiritual energy or mana. Not only was it hard to see them, he could barely sense them.
"Do you want to attack me with your soul's power?" Shi Tianhao'e entire body began to brim with energy and a cloak of red light covered his body. Approaching him was extremely difficult.
Power cultivators of the Martial Way had strong vital spirits. They burned as hot as the sun and their souls were deeply connected to their strong, physical body. Sometimes, they would be able to resist soul-based spells.
With this move, Shi Tianhao's eyes narrowed into slits.
Around him, he could see hundreds, even thousands, of specter-light shadows. Every single of them was Shi Tianyi!
When onlookers saw this, even the Immortal Soul stage elders furrowed their brows.
Everyone had a soul, but only one. However, Shi Tianyi managed to produce thousands of them!

Chapter 581: Shi Tianyi: He Who Benefitted from Misfortune
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"Could that the Grand Celestial Shadow Manifestation of the 'Exploration of the Great Void Thinking'?" The Vivant Joy Holy Man said hesitantly as he looked at Prince Anliang, Shi Zongyue.
With their Immortal Soul stage mastery, the group of elders could clearly see the hundreds and thousands of specter-like shadows in the Dragon Battle Arena.
While Shi Tianyi's right eye may be powerful, it could not fool the Immortal Soul stage elders.
Shi Zongyue looked at Shi Tianyi in the arena and nodded his head slowly. "That's right. It is the Grand Celestial Shadow Manifestation, the most powerful move of the 'Exploration of the Great Void Thinking'. However, normally speaking, no one can make so many shadow manifestations."
"This result is thanks to the overwhelming power of Shi Tianyi's soul and the powers of his polycoria."
As hundreds and thousands of shadows surrounded Shi Tianhao, Shi Tianhao's entire body burst with burning hot vital spirit. Hot blood coursed through his veins and his body felt like a furnace. The heat he emitted distorted the very surroundings around him.
The best counterattack against the soul spell was the First Thunder Push Spell. The next best counterattack was to use the powerful Yang spirit of a martial artist coupled with a hot-blooded vitality, preventing the Yin souls from approaching.
However, while water can extinguish fire, fire too can cause water to evaporate.
Shi Tianyi formed numerous copies of his soul, numbering in thousands. Every single one of them was extremely powerful as they enveloped the skies like dark clouds. Even Shi Tianhao's powerful physical prowess found them hard to control.
"Attack!" Shi Tianyi's bellow came from the sky. In that moment, many souls rushed straight towards Shi Tianhao.
As these souls rushed towards him, their shapes changed. They no longer resembled Shi Tianyi but instead, they turned into numerous sharp knives as they came down onto Shi Tianhao like rain.
Shi Tianyi wished to directly kill Shi Tianhao's soul.
Everyone on-scene, including the Immortal Soul stage cultivators, furrowed their brows tightly. Faced with such a powerful soul-based attack, the use of one's physical body was limited.
Shi Tianyi set alight his soul to maximize his offensive and penetrating capabilities.
If anyone else tried it, then they would have injured themselves before they injured their enemies. Such a technique was akin to a kamikaze attack.
However, Shi Tianyi's Grand Celestial Shadow Manifestation multiplied his soul by hundreds and thousand times. It was different from splitting his soul. Instead, they appeared to be exact copies.
While he could not maintain them for very long, as long as they were there it was the equivalent of him possessing thousands of souls. Sacrificing a portion of himself meant nothing.
Hundreds and thousands of souls rushed to kill Shi Tianhao. No matter how powerful Shi Tianhao was, he would be unable to resist such a concerted attack. Shi Tianyi was using numerical advantage over his foe.
Shi Tianhao, however, appeared fearless. He summoned his Four Appearances Heaven Cleaving Script and the space behind his back distorted as a furnace appeared him.
The furnace opened and inside, all one could see was black earth. It was silent like a black hole.
Suddenly, the roars of beasts came from the furnace. They sounded like crying infants and were extremely ear-piercing. The shadow of a powerful beast appeared. It had the body of a lamb and the head of a human. Its eyes grew on its armpits. It had the teeth of a tiger and the claws of man.
It was one of the Four Immemorial Evil Beasts, the Tao Tie!
The earth in the furnace began to open up like a beast that was waking up from hibernation after countless of years. It was famished all it wanted to do was to feed. It opened its canyon-wide mouth and devoured!
Shi Tianyi's many murderous souls were gobbled by the furnace. In the next moment, nothing could be seen or heard. It was like dropping mud into the ocean.
"It could devour the powers of soul along with moves and mana?" Shi Tianyi had seen this move of Shi Tianhao in the Shi Family Mansion. Then, it bit tightly on Shi Tianyi's father cosmic form without any intention of letting go. Then, it devoured the cosmic form.
Now, his own souls met the same fate. Shi Tianhao did not seek to evade but instead, devour every single of his attacker.
Shi Tianyi's gaze flashed as he stopped the spell immediately. One soul returned to his own body. He was evidently tired.
His Grand Celestial Shadow Manifestations were destroyed. While it did not hurt him physically, he had been pushed to his limits when he cast this spell.
He gained nothing out of casting this spell and he could clearly feel that after devouring his souls, Shi Tianhao's powers grew.
Shi Tianhao had always been the proactive one. When Shi Tianyi attacked, he was searching for Shi Tianyi's weaknesses.
This time, he believed that he had found the right target.
"Zhou (Verse)!" Shi Tianhao raised his right fist and the Xunhuang Four-Words Mantra activated. It completely suppressed Shi Tianyi as it caused time in his body to come to a halt.
No matter how powerful Shi Tianyi's soul was, it too had its limits. He could feel his entire body turning into a wooden puppet. He could no longer speak nor move. Even the thoughts in his mind slowed.
He tried to escape, but Shi Tianhao's attack came at him like waves in the ocean. After the "Zhou (Verse)" Mantra, Shi Tianhao immediately used to the "Yu (Uni)" Mantra, causing Shi Tianyi to be unable to move.
Shi Tianhao himself approached his opponent at lightning-speed. He began to pummel Shi Tianyi's body.
At the most perilous moment, Shi Tianyi once again activated his Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak. Only then was he able to resist Shi Tianhao's attack. However, the Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak was completely shattered. The Cloak became covered with spidery cracks.
Shi Tianyi then used his Heaven-Ascending Spell and he shot up into the sky. He sought to create distance between Shi Tianhao and himself.
Shi Tianhao's "Yu (Uni)" Mantra activated once again as the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness shone. Space vibrated and even the early Nascent Soul stage Shi Tianyi realized that he was unable to escape by flying through space.
At this point in time, Shi Tianyi shouted, "Open!"
In the void, a large amount white clouds appeared. Gradually, they enveloped the entire area as they turned the red skies in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land white.
The clouds rolled quickly and in the center of the sea of clouds, one could light flashing.
It was if the Pearly Gates were opening!
From the viewing platform, everyone became to exclaim in shock. The Celestial Sword Elder and the Blue Pavilion Holy Man looked at each other. Even they were shocked.
"Is that the... Zhong Heavens Gate? That's the Zhong Heavens Gate of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells! Kuang Heng taught this powerful move to Shi Tianyi?"
Even the Qin Emperor Shi Yu arched his eyebrows as he looked at the Great Void Sect.
The Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells was one of the most powerful moves of the Great Void Sect. It was its strongest offensive move and in the Great Void Sect, it occupied the same position as the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi in the Mount Shu Sword Sect or the Vairocana Zen Palm of the Great Thunderclap Temple.
It was universally-recognized as the most powerful move of the human cultivators in the Divine Lands.
With regards to the Nine Heavens, there were two sayings in the Divine Lands. One of them came from the most powerful sect and hegemon of the Antiquity Age, the Heaven's Gate. The Heaven's Gate defined the Nine Heavens. For them, the center was known as Jun Heaven, the east was known as Cang Heaven, the northeast was known as Min Heaven, the north was known as Xuan Heaven, the northwest was known as You Heaven, the west was known as Yuan Heaven, the southwest was known as Zhu Heaven, the south known as Yan Heaven and the southeast known as Yang Heaven.
The other saying concerned the Great Void Sect. The nine heavens were, according to them, the Zhong Heaven, the Xian Heaven, the Cong Heaven, the Geng Heaven, the Zui Heaven, the Kuo Heaven, the Xian Heaven, the Shen Heaven and the Cheng Heaven.
As nine was the biggest number, it had the same meaning as infinity. Above the Cheng Heaven, one could find the Great Dao. The Great Dao was in the heavens, limitless and infinite. Its mystery was in its invisibility.
Legend had it that the Great Void Sect possessed Nine Heavenly Palaces in Mount Baiyun, all of which were mystical beyond comprehension. Only the most powerful disciples of the Great Void Sect could be baptized in them and learn the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells.
The attack Shi Tianyi used borrowed upon the powers of the first heaven by the Great Void Sect's definition.
After the Zhongtian Gate opened, Shi Tianyi's power increased exponentially. He looked at Shi Tianhao and said, "Gate, it is simple to say but it is amongst the mystical concept. The powers of the mortal realm could bring one to a gate if they are correct. Entering the gate is the beginning. It is an entrance and a start."
"In difficult times, if one can find a gate, then one can continue walking." As he said that, Shi Tianyi dived straight into the light.
Unbelievably, the moment he entered the light. He managed to escape Shi Tianhao's "Yu" and "Zhou" mantras.
Looking at the situation, the Flying Snow Swordmaster sighed, "The cultivator with the polycoria benefitted from misfortune. If not for the Void Battleground fight where he was blinded, he may be able to be this powerful and obtain the Nine Heavenly Palaces Baptism and learn the Zhong Heavens Gate ."
The Sun Radiance Swordmaster looked at the battleground and nodded his head, "Shi Tianhao may be in for trouble."
In the next moment, Shi Tianyi appeared once again. He was at another spot. He looked at Shi Tianhao calmly as he summoned a spell.
The hole appeared in the clouds above his head as a ray of bright, golden light shone through. It was able to slice a hole even in the red skies of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient World. In the hole, one could see the black void dotted with stars.
This shape was similar to the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation when it was first activated. While it was much weaker and could not be comparable to that murderous formation, Shi Tianyi's abilities to use the powers of the Nine Luminaries as a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was stunning.
The second heaven of the Great Void, the Xian Heaven Holy Stellar Light!
An unbelievably complicated rune that was about 650 meters square in size appeared in the sky. Numerous amount of fog, smoke, and light spread as stars crossed through the void and affixed themselves on the rune. This made the rune glow even brighter like a mini-sun.
Shi Zongyue's face lost color as he said in shock, "Other than the Zhong Heaven Gate, he managed to master the Xian Heaven Holy Stellar Light too!"
Shi Tianhao looked at the giant rune in the sky as he arched his eyebrows slightly. He could feel the power of this spell.
The power of the stars was something so powerful that cultivators under the Immortal Soul stage could not use easily. One needed a very high level of mastery to control it.
The spell of the Great Void Sect could be said to have been spectacular.
Since the start of the battle, this was the first time Shi Tianhao felt threatened.
At the same time, Shi Tianyi extended his right hand and as clouds swirled around it, limitless amount of light shone out. They turned into more and more runes as they floated in the air. Then, they forcibly trapped Shi Tianhao's body.
Shi Tianhao was stunned. He realized that he could no longer move. It was as if he was trapped by this own 'Yu' Word Mantra.
This was, however, another powerful function of the Great Void Sect's first heaven technique, the Zhong Heaven Gate.
"When the gate is opened, it's an escape, a beginning, and a starting point," Shi Tianyi said. "When the gate is closed, it signifies closure, sealing and the final point. There is no escape."
He used the Zhong Heaven Gate in conjunction with the Xian Heaven Holy Stellar Light to stop Shi Tianhao from escaping. Shi Tianhao could only accept the bombardment of the stars.
As he spoke, the giant rune above their heads shone to its brightest. It was so eye-piercing no one could look straight at it.
In the next moment, a giant golden light pillar came crashing down onto Shi Tianhao!
The burning hot light aura rendered everything around into oblivion. All that sought to stop it was pierced, destroyed and obliviated!

Chapter 582: Where's Your Confidence, Shi Tianyi?
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The power of the stars was immense and while Shi Tianyi was able to cultivate the Xian Heaven Holy Stellar Light, he only able to use a small portion of their power.
However, even that tiny portion of power was devastating to cultivators under the Immortal Soul stage.
Even the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders sat up straight and looked intensely at the battle.
Wang Lin's cold gaze flashed. Now that he cultivated the Four Appearances Heaven Cleaving Script and formed his nascent soul, he was no longer afraid of Shi Tianyi's attack. However, if they were to go back to the fight in the Void Battleground, no one knew what would happen if Shi Tianyi used that move.
Xiao Yan muttered to himself, "This is as powerful as the Heaven Fire Lotus formed from the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire and the Grand Sun Primordial Flame..."
His Heaven Fire Lotus was formed from the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire and the Grand Sun Primordial Flame and the most powerful combination of this Twin Fire Lotus.
Of course, after he formed his nascent soul, his mastery would increase. Regardless whether it's the Heaven Fire Lotus or the power of a single primordial fire, it would surely increase greatly in potential.
While Zhu Yi said nothing, his expression was serious.
As an onlooker, he could clearly feel the power of Shi Tianyi's attack. At this moment, he was much clearer about that than Shi Tianhao, who was directly facing the brunt of the attack.
However, Shi Tianhao did not show fear. He looked calmly at the light pillar rushing towards him at lightning speed.
The space behind him opened him ferociously and he deployed his Great Chaos Furnace attack!
In the furnace, shapeless and formless winds howled and screeched as every single layer of the chaotic space within it trembled.
Prince Anliang, Shi Zongyue, looked at the scene and was shocked as he said, "That's... That's the Void Storm, one of the Four Grand Primordial Winds! Wait, wait, that's not the real Void Storm. However, it has the same terrifying power."
The shape of a giant beast appeared in the furnace at this time. It looked like a sac and was red like fire. It had four wings and six legs and no facial feature at all.
It was Hundun, another one of the Four Immemorial Evil Beasts!
Shi Tianhao roared as the powers of the Great Chaos Furnace were superimposed on his body. The powers rushed straight into the heavens and confronted the golden light pillar directly.
From the very start, Shi Tianhao had no intention of dodging the attack.
As he lashed out with a fist, space shattered instantly. The Evil Beast, Hundun, turned into a tempest as it charged towards the golden light pillar.
The brilliant golden light flashed non-stop and no one dared to open their eyes. They could only sense a brilliant heat.
A few people could see that Shi Tianhao stood brazenly in mid-air as the power of the Hundun attacked the Xian Heaven Holy Stellar Light.
However, the power of the stars was still a lot. Despite only borrowing on a bit, Shi Tianyi was able to command an almost limitless amount of power. Under its bombardment, Shi Tianhao could only retreat.
If not for Shi Tianhao's powerful and sturdy physical body, the radiance of the stars would have incinerated his body.
"Eh!" Shi Tianhao's right hand turned into a fist as he faced the bombardment of the stars up-front. His left hand was outstretched and with the support of the help from the Tao Tie within the first Great Chaos Furnace, he was able to grab onto the light pillar.
The powerful Tao Tie turned into a dark land as it gobbled up the Shi Tianyi's stellar powers.
Shi Tianyi's eyebrows arched tightly. Then, he saw Shi Tianhao exhaling mightily as resounding bellows could be heard from the Great Chaos Furnace behind him. It was as if they had gone back to the earliest days of Creation.
With the help of the powers of the two beasts, the golden light pillar was shattered.
Immediately, the Dragon Battle Arena was shrouded in blinding gold light. Looking at the Dragon Battle Arena from the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, one could only see golden light spewing forth.
On-lookers were all speechless at this scene as a million thoughts crossed their hearts.
The two combatants before them truly lived up to their fame.
The older Shi was powerful enough to master the Great Void Sect's Great Void Nine Heavenly Spell. Regardless whether it's the Zhong Heaven Gate or the Xian Heaven Holy Stellar Light, their powers were both astounding. Any single of them could match a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
However, the younger Shi was much more fierce. He was actually able to resist the Xian Heaven Holy Stellar Light.
Furthermore, he was still in his late Aurous Core stage while Shi Tianyi was in his early Nascent Soul stage. That was even more shocking.
Shi Chongyun looked expressionlessly at the scene before him. The Imperial Household of Great Qin too once considered adopting Shi Tianyi. How could he not know?
Shi Zongyue and the Vivant Joy Holy man looked at each other and shook their heads. "Such a pity, neither the senior Shi nor the junior Shi can be used by the Great Qin. Pity, pity."
In the golden light, Shi Tianhao suddenly stood upright. Wounds appeared on his body as he was bombarded by the light of the stars. No matter how strong his physical body was, he could not escape unscathed. However, his physical aura reached a new peak. As he bellowed under his breath, a golden circle light appeared near his head.
In the golden circle of light, a giant beast floated.
Some people recognized it as they gasped, "Kun Peng?"
The Kun Peng hovered in the space non-stop. When it sank, it looked like a fish. Its body was black and enormous. It was at least a few thousand kilometers in length. No one really knew.
When it floated, its body turned into a bird. Its body was filled with green feather and it had a golden beak. Its head was covered with white feathers. Its two wings were out-stretched and stretch for thousands of kilometers.
While the light above Shi Tianhao's head wasn't big, everyone could comprehend the size of the Kun Peng due to the distortion in space.
Shi Tianhao used the blood of the Four Immemorial Evil Beasts to forge his Great Chaos Furnace. He himself was strengthened by the blood of Kun Peng and hence, he too absorbed its powers.
He shrugged his shoulder vigorously and like how the Kun Peng rose from the sea and turned into a sea, green wings grew on his shoulders as he flew straight up to the nine heavens.
The restrictions Shi Tianyi's Zhong Heavens Gate placed on Shi Tianhao were lifted immediately. Shi Tianhao charged towards Shi Tianyi.
With his speed, Shi Tianyi couldn't evade it even with his Heaven-Ascending Spell.
Shi Tianyi's right eye shone with light as numerous clouds appeared and conjured an illusion. He once again avoided calamity.
When he activated the Zhong Heaven Gate and the Xian Heaven Holy Stellar Light, he pushed his mana to its peak once again. This drained him. He had no choice but to dodge Shi Tianhao's attack while he recharged.
Shi Tianhao said quietly, "Before the battle, weren't you brimming with confidence? Why are you acting like a turtle now? Where's your confidence? Your pride?"
In the void, Shi Tianyi stood with his hands behind his back. No one knew if that was the real him or just an illusion. He looked calmly at Shi Tianhao and said, "The power of polycoria is my ability and I use it. What's wrong with that? Instead, aren't you the one who wants to challenge me? I'm waiting for you to beat my ultimate move."
Shi Tianhao's two Great Chaos Furnaces behind him roared as the shadow of the Kun Peng above his head floated. He said, "With a Nascent Soul stage mastery, you were blinded in one eye by my Third Senior. I thought that your mastery of the Great Void Sect's spells would have improved. Now, I realized that all you could do in response to my attacks is to defend yourself. You should find a hole to hide in."
His words were like knives For members of the Great Void Sect watching the fight, particularly those who were not in the Immortal Soul stage like Kuang Heng, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and the Elegant Clouds Holy Woman, their faces burned with rage.
Shi Tianhao then continued, "Normally, I will be patient to slowly fight it out with you. However, doing that won't help me open the Dragon Rock Gate, right? That's just wasting time."
"That's indeed a problem," agreed Shi Tianyi. "So, here I come."
As he said that, Shi Tianyi, who was hovering in mid-air, slammed his palms together and summoned a spell. Light burst forth from around him.
In the next instant, one could hear a dragon roar from within the light. From the light, a white light giant dragon rushed out as it charged towards Shi Tianhao.
Shi Tianhao had to respond. However, he was caught in the illusion cast by Shi Tianyi's right eye. Who knew if the attack was real or fake?
He did not avoid it. Instead, he counterattacked the white light giant dragon. The Tao Tie in the Great Chaos Furnance behind him morphed into a canyon-like pitch-black landmass as it bit the white light giant dragon.
In the next instant, Shi Tianhao was before Shi Tianyi. He lashed out with his fist.
This time, Shi Tianyi dodged. His soul trembled and the flow of his mana changed. Shi Tianhao could be sure that the person before him was the real Shi Tianyi and not an illusion.
However, if that was the real person, why was his white light giant dragon attack so weak?
Could it be that his bark was bigger than his bite? Or that he had not yet recovered from casting his Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells?
Or...could it be a ploy?
Shi Tianhao felt that something was off and he stopped himself. When Shi Tianyi saw that, he smiled and said, "Good reaction."
As he said that, Shi Tianhao suddenly felt the Tao Tie Great Chaos Furnace behind vibrate vigorously.
There appeared to be limitless energy expanding which the Tao Tie powers in the Great Chaos Furnace could not devour.
While the Tao Tie's devouring power was impressive, it still had its limits.
Right now, Shi Tianhao could feel that the Tao Tie was at the limit of its devouring power.
In the dark of the Great Chaos Furnace, bright, purple light began to shine. A rumbling ensued and it sounded like thunder. Rays after rays of purple light shone into the sky.
"The white dragon just now..." Shi Tianhao arched his eyebrows. He telepathically tried to sense it and realize that while the mana that formed the white light giant dragon had been devoured, something else was present inside.
The white light giant dragon was only a distraction. It concealed Shi Tianyi's true killer move.
And that was a skull-like object. Its entire body was light gold and looked like crystal. Limitless amount of purple light shone from it as it bombarded Shi Tianhao's Tao Tie Great Chaos Furnace. It appeared infinite. Based solely on the Tao Tie's devour ability, it was unable to consume it. Instead, its power grew.
"It's actually a Magic Treasure Embryo?" Shi Tianhao blinked.
Shi Tianyi said, "This is the material that I'm going to cultivate into a magic treasure for the day I reach the Immortal Soul stage. The Great Void Sect has secret ways to that allow us to cultivate even Magic Treasure Embryo, making them more powerful than normal Nascent Soul stage magic items without compromising on their magic treasure potential."
Before he finished saying, the purple light from the golden skull blazed even more intensely. From its center, one could see an outline made of light. It was a giant bird that appeared restless and bored. It soared in a thunderstorm.
The shadow of the giant bird took form as the thunder became a lot more intense.

Chapter 583: The Strongest Face-Off
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The bird had a huge body and the feathers on its chest were light gold. The feathers on its head and tail were emerald green and it was crowned by a ring of purplish-blue feathers.
Its appearance resembled a phoenix but there were differences. For one, it appeared much more evil and fierce. Its three-colored feathers shone under the occasional lightning from the thunderstorm and glowed brightly.
The Blue Pavilion Holy Man watching the fight was uneasy as he looked at the skull, "Thunder Beast Angmao? Could.. could that be that bones of the Angmao?"
Those with more knowledge about this too recognized the origins of Shi Tianyi's Magic Treasure Embryo. it was made from the bones of an Angmao who had formed the Undying Demon Soul.
The Thunder Beast Angmao was similar to the Dark Beast Mingdu. Both of them were powerful demons of the Primordial Age and both resembled birds. They had three-colored feathers and they exerted power over lightning and thunder. Legend has it that the Thunder Beast Angmao was formed during Creation and in the Primordial Age, it was known as the emperor of all thunder type demons.
Today, the Angmao had more or less disappeared from the Grand Celestial World. It could have gone extinct but no one could confirm that fact. For a long time, no one had seen a living Angmao.
Lin Feng, seated in the east, looked at the skull and felt a wave of interest, "Oh, that's interesting. Even though it's only a skull, it had been processed for almost ten thousand years. While its true spirit had yet to disappear, it lost all of its bloodthirstiness and could be used to form a magic treasure. It's unlike the Mingdu bones I possess which upon cultivation will revive it."
Shi Tianyi greatly treasured the skull of Angmao after obtaining it. He planned on using it to forge his natal magic treasure after he reached the Immortal Soul stage.
Normally, he allowed it to be cultivated secretly in the Great Void Sect. It could also be used as a magic treasure against his enemy without diminishing its potential.
This was the first time he sent the skull of Angmao into Shi Tianhao's Tao Tie Great Chao Furnace. The power spiritual energy pushed the Tao Tie's devour ability to its limit.
Lightning sizzled and crackled furiously. Shi Tianhao's Tao Tie Great Chao Furnace appeared to be on the verge of imploding!
"It's not enough to fight using spells, so we shall fight with our treasures instead," Shi Tianhao flipped his palm and the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness appeared and flew into the Tao Tie Great Chaos Furnace. Instantly, it enveloped the skull of Angmao.
The space within the crucible brimmed with power. Layers after layers of space stacked on top of each other and instantly sealed the frenzied lightning.
The skull of Angmao turned into a ball of purple light and instantly broke through the many layers of space. It sought to escape from the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness but suddenly, a pure-white and ancient looking mirror appeared on the top of the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness.
That was Shi Tianhao's other Nascent Soul stage magic item, the "
Aurora Polar Mirror.
As a ray of white light shone from the mirror, it immediately covered the skull of Angmao and its extreme-freeze power activated. Together with the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness, it suppressed the skull of Angmao.
The skull of Angmao appeared to become a bit more aware now. Its eye sockets shined non-stop as it sought to fly once again. The frenzied lightning's power increased exponentially once again.
The Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness vibrated non-stop. The Aurora Polar Mirror too was shaking like mad.
The combined powers of the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness and the Aurora Polar Mirror could not suppress this Magic Treasure Embryo. While it could not compare to an actual magic treasure, it was powerful in its own right after many years of cultivation and safe-keeping under the Great Void Sect.
Shi Tianhao raised his Hammer of the Yellow Heaven Bell and smashed on the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness. This time, the ripples in space did not spread outwards but instead, inwards.
The few magic items battled ceaselessly. Shi Tianhao smashed his palms together and the two Great Chaos Furnaces behind him changed direction.
Initially, their opening faced the front. Now, their openings faced each other.
Then, the two Great Chaos Furnace merged together into one entity. They disappeared as if they had never existed in the first place.
Shi Tianyi, however, arched his eyebrows tightly. He discovered suddenly that the skull of Angmao had broken its telepathic link with him.
As the magic treasure fought, Shi Tianhao took that opportunity to fuse his two Great Chaos Furnace together. Coupled with the powers of the Tao Tie and the Hundun, the Magic Treasure Embryo was utterly suppressed!
"You've lost," Shi Tianyi's eyebrows were no longer furrowed tightly as he said calmly, "How will you fight me now that two of your Nascent Soul stage magic treasure and two powerful moves are all used to suppressed my skull of Angmao?"
"Let's not talk about anything else, you can't even compete with me in terms of our understanding of space as I had already formed my nascent soul."
Shi Tianyi extended his hands before him and the Zhong Heaven Gate suddenly activated and locked down the void. A lot of runes appeared in space and the space where the two combatants stood began to distort as it sought to suppress Shi Tianhao.
Shi Tianhao smiled as a giant sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
While it was a sword, it was made out of stone. Its blade was glossy and it looked like a long strip of rock.
Its tip shone with a cold light that was eye-piercingly bright. It emitted an invincible, all-penetrating feel.
It appeared that every single sharpness of the sword was concentrated on its tip, causing the destructive power of the sword to shoot up exponentially.
Shi Tianhao pointed the sword at the void and immediately, it broke through the restrictions imposed by the Zhong Heaven Gate.
"You have many treasures on you," said Shi Tianyi as he arched his eyebrows slightly. He knew that Shi Tianhao possessed the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness and the Aurora Polar Mirror. He did not care about them. The two of them combined could not beat his skull of Angmao.
However, this stone sword was beyond his expectations. He looked at it carefully and then nodded his head, "It appears to be a damaged magic treasure. Its Original Soul was destroyed but its foundation is still strong. There's a chance of resurrection."
Now, it was a highly-prized treasure. It was superior to many Nascent Soul stage magic items and in no way weaker than Shi Tianyi's skull of Angmao.
Shi Tianhao pointed his sword at Shi Tianyi and said, "Shi Tianyi, come on!"
"Even if you have the sword, you are still not my opponent," Shi Tianyi's expression was calm as he continued, "I'm not interested in your other items but I am very interested in your sword."
"Do you want it?" Shi Tianhao smiled. "That will depend on your ability."
Shi Tianyi nodded his head and said, "Watch me." As he said that, he raised his right hand in mid-air as he placed his left index finger on his forehead.
This time, he sought to attack. He could not defeat his opponent based solely on the illusion created by this right eye. If Shi Tianhao did not take the initiative to attack, then he will not be deceived. If the two of them faced each other down, the one at a disadvantage would naturally be Shi Tianyi. His skull of Angmao was still with Shi Tianhao.
This time, every single Immortal Soul stage cultivator's face turned dark as they watched his attack.
Even the Great Void Sect themselves were surprised. The Elegant Clouds Holy Woman looked stunned as she turned her head to Kuang Heng and asked, "Senior Kuang, he mastered the Thousand Slaughter Technique too?"
Kuang Heng nodded his head and said nothing.
In the Dragon Battle Arena, Shi Tianyi's left index finger was pointed at the center of his eyebrows and his right arm was straight like a knife. He raised it into the sky and then slowly sliced down in Shi Tianhao's direction. As his hand came down, a crack opened in the space.
When the crack opened, it shattered the space there instantly, revealing the void. However, the void was no longer black but instead, glowed with eye-dazzling white light.
The white light danced from the tear and enveloped everything around it. The two sides of the split then came squeezing to the center.
The Celestial Sword Elder of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect sighed and said, "That's the third heaven of the Great Void, the Cong Heaven Thousand Slaughter Technique! I can't believe he managed to master this too."
The Sun Radiance Swordmaster exchanged a gaze with the Flying Snow Swordmaster and said, "The Cong Heaven Thousand Slaughter Technique does not simply cut open the void. It evokes the power of a clash of two worlds that is powerful enough to split a Greater World."
"Victory has been decided. It appears that the senior Shi is more powerful."
"Correct, while the junior Shi was able to resist against the Xian Heaven Holy Stellar Light, he had expended a great amount of energy. Then, he had to use more than half of his power to suppress the senior Shi's skull of Angmao. Now, he had to deal with the Cong Heaven Thousand Slaughter Technique. Even with the stone sword, he is at a disadvantage."
"That may not be the case. Perhaps he has some other method?"
As everyone discussed intensely, Shi Tianhao's expression was calm. The stone sword in his right hand was still pointed at Shi Tianyi and his left hand was clenched into a fist. He raised it into the sky and said slowly, "Hong (Vast)!"
Immediately, the mana in his body increased exponentially. It felt like a tsunami in a calm sea. It rolled and crashed as it concentrated onto Shi Tianhao.
In the next instant, the spiritual energy died down. However, they did not disappear but instead, it appeared as if they were waiting to explode at any moment. It was like the calm before the storm. The powerful, suppressed aura made everyone on-scene terrified.
Shi Tianyi's gaze flashed. The white light split almost reached Shi Tianhao.
At the same time, a powerful energy burst forth at the point where Shi Tianhao pointed his sword.
This energy was vigorous like a floodwater. It engulfed the heaven and earth and all creations and an unstoppable burst of power rushed out from it.
Numerous runes floated in the torrent. Then, they congregated together and turned into a flood of golden light. It collided directly with Shi Tianyi's white light split.
It was the strongest face-off!
This was Shi Tianhao's third spell in his Xuanhuang Four-Words Mantra, the Vast-Word Mantra. It clashed directly with Shi Tianyi's Great Void third heaven move, the Cong Heaven Thousand Slaughter Technique!
Immediately, the entire Dragon Battle Arena turned into a sea of light. Half of it was gold while the other half was white. No one was willing to compromise and both sides clashed ceaselessly. In the next instant, they intersected together and battled ceaselessl.y
Finally, the sea of light exploded as a heaven-engulfing light spread in all four directions.
At this point, the two waves of spiritual energy twisted and turned around each other as they rushed into the sky into the white jade gate hidden in the void.
The Dragon Stone Gate began to glow with golden light. Every single dragon engraving on it opened their eyes to reveal terrifying gazes. They began to roar together.
In that roar, the Dragon Stone Gate vibrated furiously. The gates began to open and colorful spewed forth from an unknown world.
The expression on the faces of the Great Qin Empire's cultivators was all complicated. The Dragon Stone Gate, that remained closed for thousands of years, finally opened because of the battle between the two Shis.
In the Dragon Battle Arena, the light gradually faded and one could see two people facing each other off.
Both Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi looked extremely sorry.
A giant wound appeared from Shi Tianhao's right shoulder to the left side of his navel. Blood and flesh churned in a disgusting mess. Compared to his normally indestructible form, Shi Tianhao looked like a zombie after bearing the brunt of Shi Tianyi's Cong Heaven Thousand Slaughter Technique. He was almost sliced in half.
Shi Tianyi looked even worse. His body was covered with wounds and his entire right arm and parts of his right shoulder were gone.
For such serious injuries, Shi Tianyi felt nauseous despite his powerful soul. However, his expression did not change. His right eye was still dual-pupilled. Both pupils spun together like the passing of a day. A powerful energy, like one that had never been felt before, came forth.

Chapter 584: A Comeback!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
While both of them were severely injured, the two youths stood upright as they stared at each other.
A giant wound crossed Shi Tianhao's body. It was not just a physical wound but it also damaged his normally-indestructible physical body. Once a single wound appeared on it, his defensive abilities would massively decrease.
Shi Tianyi did not just lose his right arm. When he used the Cong Heaven Thousand Slaughter Method, he concentrated all of his power together. Now, not only was his body damaged, his soul and nascent soul were injured too.
Shi Tianyi's right eye shone with light. There was an unprecedented brightness in his eye and a much more mystical power began to spread from it.
It turned into a golden light that enveloped Shi Tianyi's body. In the light, numerous runes appeared.
"My polycoria is the always the most powerful," Shi Tianyi's tone was calm and his left eye swept through the crowd before settling on Wang Lin in the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
As he said that, one saw that the space where Shi Tianyi was distorting. Earlier, under Shi Tianhao's attack, his non-existent right arm began to the appear once again in the light. It appeared to be reforming!
Everyone burst out in acclaim. Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and Yue Hongyan turned to look at Wang Lin. Wang Lin shook his head with a heavy expression and said, "That's not the Avīci Undying Body."
Yang Qing, who was silent all this while, looked at Shi Tianyi carefully and said, "It does not appear to be a healing spell. There's no regenerative power in the air."
Wang Lin nodded his head as he stared intently at Shi Tianyi who was regaining his lost arm. "Correct, it is not a simple matter of healing his physical body. Just now, his soul and nascent soul, both of which were damaged by Little Junior, are recovering as well."
"This feeling... It felt as if Little Junior's attack had never even existed. In other words, it felt as if Little Junior did not actually attack him."
Yue Hongyan's eyebrows arched as she said, "However, it was clearly a hit and he was injured! He was half-dead and that couldn't be an illusion made by his right eye. If he was actually injured, how could he recover so quickly?"
Lin Feng then said, "Shi Tianyi's two dual-pupilled eyes have different uses. His left eye can see through the void and differentiate between illusion and reality. He could also identify weaknesses in his opponents. However, as he was blinded in the Void Battleground, he lost all its abilities."
"His remaining right eye can create illusions and even a false world. It can also numb his opponent's senses."
Lin Feng then looked at Shi Tianyi lazily and said, "When both of his eyes were fine, Shi Tianyi's polycoria had one use. Closing one eye would increase the power of the other one."
Everyone exclaimed, "So when his left eye was destroyed, the powers of his right eye increased?"
Lin Feng said, "Correct. Earlier on, his right eye could only create illusions. Now, by increasing its powers, he can distort reality itself and turn what's real into something false."
He smiled slightly and said, "Shi Tianyi used the powers of his right eye to turn what happened to him into an illusion."
Zhu Yi arched his eyebrows, "Does that mean unless he's killed in an instant or that his right eye is destroyed, any wounds inflicted onto him by any attack will be rendered null?"
Xiao Yan was concerned about another problem, "For powers like his, can he use it on anyone else other than himself? For example, can he use it on Little Junior or any of his opponent?"
"With Shi Tianyi's current mastery, he can only use it on himself. However, he can't use it non-stop. After his mastery increases and the power of his polycoria increases, anything is possible," said Lin Feng. "However, we don't have to be worried. The secrets of the difference between illusion and reality can be found in the higher teachings of the secrets of the two polarities."
"By understanding the secrets of illusion and reality, one can stop the power of his polycoria."
Lin Feng looked at Shi Tianyi and his mouth twitched, "Relax everyone, he can't do that much."
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Yan and the rest re-focused their gaze on the Dragon Battle Arena.
There, Shi Tianhao stood firmly in the void as he looked calmly at Shi Tianyi and said, "You owe me something for 12 years. It's time to repay me."
The light disappeared and the brightness in Shi Tianyi's eyes faded by a bit. He then closed his right eye but his expression seemed fine.
The injuries he incurred in his exchange against Shi Tianhao just now appeared to have disappeared completely as if it had never existed.
"I don't owe you anything. Only the fittest can survive in the world," said Shi Tianyi calmly. "Had I been the infant earlier and you the young boy who could walk and cultivate, then these things wouldn't have happened naturally. Conversely, you may have dug out my eyes instead of I taking away your Supreme Tao Foundation."
He then looked at Shi Tianhao before him as a complicated array of colors danced in his open eyes. "I have to admit that I never thought that you survived and could stand before me now. You have grown a lot, now help me open the Dragon Rock Gate."
"You forced me to use my trump card. You can take pride in that," Shi Tianyi's face was once again deathly calm. "However, it all ends now. My body is at its peak and yours is terribly injured. I doubt you can even suppress my skull of Angmao."
The space behind Shi Tianhao vibrated slightly like waves in water. However, that was not Shi Tianyi's doing. Instead, it was the skull of Angmao resisting non-stop as it sought to break through Shi Tianhao's two Great Chaos Furnace."
"You can try," Shi Tianhao's face did not change.
Shi Tianyi shook his head and said, "You are still a child. You must know, having a big mouth is useless."
As he said that, a brilliant light appeared on his forehead.
"You always believe that I had taken something from you. Fine, then I will let you see it," Shi Tianyi looked calmly at Shi Tianhao. "However, this is my power. Now and always."
As he said that, Shi Tianyi's forehead glowed brighter till it was unbearable to look at. White light shone from it as it turned the entire Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land's red skies white.
The light was not hot but a terrifying power trembled within it as it shook the heavens.
It was not about the power of the light, but rather the infinite possibilities it brought with it.
Countless amount of runes appeared as they arranged themselves into mystical patterns. In the next instant, they broke apart and reformed into completely new patterns. This went on non-stop.
Shi Tianyi enunciated every word as he said, "This is my Final Holy Light!"
The powers within it had a certain finality to it. It was the end of all creations, a break. Wherever it passed, it prematurely ended the whatever was there.
The light shot out from Shi Tianyi's forehead and turned into a shockingly long ray of light. In the light, one could see the shadows of gods and Buddhas dancing. A solemn music and shook the heavens could it heard.
The Holy Light of Creation!
From establishing his supreme spiritual altar to forming his supreme spiritual crucible to forming an anomalous purple pill and finally one's nascent soul, the Holy Light of Creation was a power that was bestowed only to the one chosen and blessed by the heavens.
Everyone present with the Holy Light of Creation had solemn expressions.
What appeared before them was akin to a stuff of legends. This ray of Holy Light of Creation accompanied Shi Tianyi as he grew up. It became stronger and stronger and seemingly possessed an unlimited amount of potential and strength.
Shi Tianhao looked at the light and sighed softly and said, "That's not yours, that's mine."
Everyone said nothing. If not for the events all those years ago, the person with a smooth cultivation path and who would have now possessed the Final Holy Light would have been Shi Tianhao.
Shi Tianhao looked at the Final Holy Light and a clear light shone from his head. An aurous core brimming with purple light appeared.
The aurous core was transparent like an amber. In the center of the aurous core, one could see infinitely bright light spinning within it. The light appeared to have contained the secrets of all Creation.
The light was weak at first. However, it sensed the presence of the Final Holy Light. The light in Shi Tianhao's aurous core began to increase exponentially in strength and power!
"Is that another Holy Light of Creation?" Even the Immortal Soul stage elders were shocked as they looked uncertainly at the scene before them. "The junior Shi is truly reborn from Nirvana. Not only did he recover completely from the events of that year, he managed to form his own Holy Light of Creation!"
The entire Dragon Battle Arena burst in a raucous discussion. Everyone looked at Shi Tianhao and said, "Truly a son of heaven!"
Shi Tianhao's expression was calm. Normally, one could only get the fully-matured Holy Light of Creation after the Nascent Soul stage. However, he was faced Final Holy Light before him was formed one step ahead!
Not only did he manage to produce two Holy Light of Creation, Shi Tianhao was able to create it in the late-Aurous Core stage. No one in history had ever done that. It was unlikely that anyone could do that again. It was truly unprecedented!
As the Final Holy Light came before Shi Tianhao, his aurous core spat out a long ray of light as well that clashed head-on with the Final Holy Light.
"My Final Light of Creation can cut anything and destroy everything! Even if it's another Holy Light of Creation. Facing me head-on secures me my victory!" Shi Tianyi's face was solemn as a cold light flashed in his left eye. "I still win!"
Shi Tianhao then said, "With an end, there must be a beginning. With finality, there must be commencement. Who says that the old ending is not the new beginning."
Where the two rays of light clashed, Shi Tianhao's Holy Light of Creation was eroded by Shi Tianyi's Final Holy Light. However, it was unable to destroy it fully. Whenever a part of it was destroyed, it reformed.
Shi Tianyi's face finally changed. His Final Holy Light could completely end all creation. It had an irreversible destructive power and what it touched could not be recovered. Earlier on, in the Void Battleground, he destroyed Wang Lin's Narakade. Even with Wang Lin's regenerative abilities, he was unable to reform it quickly.
However, his Final Holy Light could do nothing against Shi Tianhao's Holy Light of Creation!
"I'll say it once more, and that'll be my final time," Shi Tianhao's gaze focused intently on the person who had changed his destiny. "That's my light. That's my first Holy Light of Creation and I name it the Final Holy Light."
"My second Holy Light of Creation is known as Origin Holy Light. Everything has a start and an end. That's the way of heaven, that's the way of creation!"
As they came from the same source, they were mutually interdependent. That was why the Final Holy Light was able to help the Origin Holy Light mature faster.
Shi Tianyi said coldly, "Even so, my mastery is higher than yours. My soul, physical body, and mana surpass yours. Regardless who owns the Holy Light of Creation, I win!"
As he said that, the Final Holy Light glowed even stronger as it relentlessly pushed the Origin Holy Light back.
Shi Tianhao shook his head and said, "You have lost."
As he said that, he waved his hand and something appeared.

Chapter 585: It's About Time That Justice Is Served!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The Final Holy Light shone brightly from the center of Shi Tianyi's forehead. In this moment, he was completely focused on controlling the Final Holy Light. He did not even bother with the Cong Heaven Thousand Slaughter Technique.
However, with the help of his polycoria, he returned his body to its pre-injuries condition. Then, he used his hands to cast a spell.
A chasm opened in the sky and golden light congregated together and turned into runes. That was the Great Void Sect's second heavenly move, the Xian Heaven Holy Stellar Light.
The two Great Chaos Furnace behind Shi Tianhao was suppressing the skull of Angmao together with the two nascent soul stage items. With his current condition, even with the stone sword, it would be hard for him to resist the attack from the stars.
"Regardless whether it's the Holy Light of Creation or anything else, as long as it's mine, don't even think about it," Shi Tianyi said quietly. "If not, you'll die."
Those who supported Shi Tianhao could feel their hearts tightening.
Shi Tianhao now could not even retreat. He used his Origin Holy Light to combat the Final Holy Light. This caused him to be immobilized by his opponent. If he were to retract his Origin Holy Light, he would be destroyed by the Final Holy Light.
Shi Tianhao naturally noticed Shi Tianyi's action. However, his expression was calm. Instead, the projection of Kun Peng on his head began to surface as it rushed towards Shi Tianyi.
Shi Tianyi's gaze flashed as the Xian Heaven Holy Heaven Light was about to activate. Suddenly, his pupils contracted as he looked at Shi Tianhao's left hand.
He noticed that Shi Tianhao was wielding an additional object. It was a white jade and transparent. Its body was reflective like a mirror and one could see light dancing about in it.
Looking at the clear jade, Shi Tianyi's face changed suddenly. "The Heaven-Reflecting Stone?!"
It was the very treasure that prompted Shi Tianyi to enter the Void Battleground. He searched for it high and low but he barely missed it.
The Heaven-Reflecting Stone could identify all objects and differentiate between illusions and reality. It had the same characteristic as Shi Tianyi's left eye and with this treasure, Shi Tianyi would have been able to increase the power of his left eye.
However, Fate did not smile on him. After entering the Void Battleground, not only did Shi Tianyi not obtain the Heaven-Reflecting Stone, he lost his left eye too.
At this moment, the Heaven-Reflecting Stone suddenly appeared in Shi Tianhao's hands. This enraged Shi Tianyi, who felt as if something had been snatched away from him. However, this anger faded as an uneasy feeling surfaced within him.
At this moment, Shi Tianhao pointed reflective part of the Heaven-Reflecting Stone at Shi Tianyi's right arm!
A bright light fell directly on Shi Tianyi's right arm. As the light flashed, Shi Tianyi's right arm began to distort along with the space around it.
"No!" Shi Tianyi roared. He could feel the reality that he had erased earlier on coming back as the crippling, agonizing, injury returned.
His right arm disappeared completely. Parts of his right shoulder disappeared as well as blood spurted forth.
His soul too was severely injured as a nauseous feeling rushed into this brain. As Shi Tianyi's soul was inherently powerful, he had never felt anything like this before. It made him feel extremely horrid.
In his body, the right arm of his nascent soul, in the form of an infant that resembled him, cracked off without warning too!
All of his previous injuries returned to him like a flood!
As he was unable to use the power of his right eye immediately, he could only watch as this happened.
With his severe injuries, he could no longer maintain both the Xian Heaven Holy Stellar Light and the Final Holy Light. If he tried, he would lose control of both spells.
As Shi Tianyi was severely injured, the Final Holy Light was countered and pushed back by the Origin Holy Light.
A greater threat was before his eyes!
Shi Tianhao's body merged with the Kun Peng's shadow. They rushed together towards Shi Tianyi. While he was injured, his injuries were lighter than Shi Tianyi's.
The fortunes of the two combatants were reversed almost instantly.
"I will not lose!" Shi Tianyi took in a deep breath as he tried to summon a spell with his remaining left hand. White clouds appeared and a golden light door opened. He sought to escape Shi Tianhao's attack with the Zhong Heaven Gate.
However, the junior Shi would not give him this chance. His reaction was quicker and immediately, he struck out with the stone sword in his head as he jammed the Zhong Heaven Gate shut!
Shi Tianyi was unable to escape and caught by Shi Tianhao.
Up close, he was not Shi Tianhao's opponent. Now that he possessed only a single arm compared to Shi Tianyi's two arms, he was continually battered back.
However, he was still a fierce opponent. He called up every single spell he knew and started a deathmatch with Shi Tianhao. The Final Holy Light from his eyebrows were still fierce as it erupted non-stop. Some of the Final Holy Light broke through the Origin Holy Light's defense and shot straight at Shi Tianhao.
Shi Tianhao squatted and turned his body to one side. A terrifying wound appeared on his left arm as blood intermingled with flesh.
However, he bellowed softly as he grabbed Shi Tianyi's left arm. His other hand latched itself onto Shi Tianyi's lower back as he raised Shi Tianyi into the air!
"You stole my Tao Foundation to cultivate! Look at you now, you aren't much!"
Shi Tianyi, who was hoisted in mid-air, felt as if he lost control over his body. Defiance and anger crossed Shi Tianyi's normally calm face as his the light in his hand shined. He tried to smack Shi Tianhao's head with it.
However, Shi Tianhao was much faster. He grabbed Shi Tianyi's body and slammed it down hard on his right knee!
"Boom!"
Shi Tianyi's Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak was completely destroyed now. Then, one could hear bones cracking. It was as if a mountain had been sawed in half!
All those who saw this scene took in a collective gasp. "How fearsome!"
"The senior Shi lost completely and the junior Shi wins!"
In the Great Void Sect's camp, the Elegant Clouds Holy Woman stood up suddenly as she looked in shock at the scene before her. Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man did not move but their gazes were uneasy.
Shi Tianyi's physical body was utterly wrecked!
In the Dragon Battle Arena, a treasure light shone from Shi Tianyi's body. A giant white flag appeared in the light and fluttered in the wind. The light from the flag pushed Shi Tianhao back.
That was the Great Void Sect's magic treasure, the Roll Void Flag!
At this moment, the defensive magic treasure the Great Void Sect gave to Shi Tianyi could not bear it anymore and finally activated itself, shielding Shi Tianyi.
In this battle between a Nascent Soul stage cultivator and a late Aurous Core stage cultivator, they tacitly understood that they should not be using Immortal Soul stage magic treasures as that would make the fight imbalanced.
A fight of magic treasures was tantamount to a battle of wealth between the Great Void Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders instead of a battle between the two Shis.
Hence, the most the two sides used was the stone sword and the skull of Angmao, neither of which could be considered to be magic treasures.
However, at this moment, the sentient Roll Void Flag could not bear it anymore. Shi Tianyi's physical body was destroyed but there was a chance for resurrection. If his soul and his nascent soul were destroyed, then he was gone.
Shi Tianyi could not die. Nothing must happen to the Holy Light of Creation and his polycoria. That was the Great Void Sect's bottom line.
After being knocked back by the Roll Void Flag, Shi Tianhao bellowed, "Do you think you are the only one?" He slammed his palms together and a light surged on his forehead. A giant, green-black, pavilion appeared from the void!
The pavilion was unimaginably regal and it appeared to have come from an ancient kingdom. It was large beyond belief. When it first appeared in the sky, it was as big as the Dragon Battle Arena!
In the golden light, numerous runes appeared like waves in the ocean. A powerful energy spread, sending chills down everyone's spine.
That was Lin Feng's own magic treasure, the Kun Peng Pavilion!
"Thud!"
The Kun Peng Pavilion vibrated vigorously in mid-air and it turned pitch-black. It became unimaginably heavy as it crashed straight towards the Roll Void Flag!
An ear-shattering sound could be heard as the Roll Void Flag's white light was shattered into bits!
Those who knew about the power of the Roll Void Flag were all shocked as its defensive power was supposedly its forte! However, faced with the black Kun Peng pavilion, it became crushed like pulp!
"Too fierce." A low voice came the Roll Void Flag. It no longer dared to clash head-on with the Kun Peng Pavilion. Rolling Shi Tianyi up, it broke through the void and sought to fly away.
The Kun Peng Pavilion reacted extremely quickly. It shook once again and the formerly black pavilion turned green. It flew as fast as wind and soon, it caught up to the Roll Void Flag!
The two magic treasure clashed once again. While the defense of the Roll Void Flag was not broken, it could no longer escape.
To completely resist against the Kun Peng Pavilion, it had no choice but to let go of Shi Tianyi. If not, both treasure and human would be crushed.
Shi Tianhao stood on top of the Kun Peng Pavilion and stared coldly at Shi Tianyi and said, "What's not yours shall never be yours. What you stole from me, I'll take it back."
The Origin Holy Light shot out once more and enveloped Shi Tianyi.
In the next instant, a shocking scene appeared. Light appeared to flow in Shi Tianyi's body but it appeared to by pried out of his body by a purple gas. Through the Origin Holy Light, Shi Tianyi's light returned to Shi Tianhao.
Everyone reacted instantly. "That was Shi Tianhao's Final Holy Light! Shi Tianhao used some secret spell to take it back!"
"Shi Tianhao could not possess this spell. It must be due to the purple gas!"
"Could... could that be the spell of the Master of the Celestial Sect?"
Everyone's gaze fell onto Lin Feng. Lin Feng's expression was calm as he said, "No one can interfere in today's battle."
As he said it, the Xuan Lin Holy Man suddenly stood up. He extended a hand and reached out. Instantly, white clouds morphed into the shape of a large hand as it moved towards the junior Shi.
"Shi Tianyi's life and his Holy Light of Creation must not be lost."
Lin Feng waved with his sleeves as a torrent of purple light blocked the Xuan Lin Holy Man's hand. Kuang Heng stood up too as he stared at Lin Feng and said, "Let go."
As he said it, white soundwaves came straight at Lin Feng. Lin Feng extended his palm as space churned. Bright, emerald light came forth like an ocean and blocked Kuang Heng.
The Dragon Battle Arena was filled with anticipation. The Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect were going to fight!
At this point, Shi Tianhao activated his 'Yu (Verse)'-Word Mantra. He suppressed Shi Tianyi tightly as he sought to take his Holy Light of Creation.
"Shi Tianyi, it's about time justice is served!"
Shi Tianyi bellowed, "In your dreams!"
As he roared, his physical body imploded and he turned into an amalgamation of light and blood. He sought to break free from Shi Tianhao's 'Yu'-Word Mantra!

Chapter 586: Whoever Interferes Shall Be Disabled!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
In a moment of fury, Shi Tianyi's body dissolved into a pool of blood.
When Shi Tianhao tore apart his spine and destroyed Shi Tianyi's body, it did not diminish one bit of his power. He channeled it into dissolving his body into blood in a bid to get out of the spell, showing tremendous force.
As his body disintegrated, what was left of him was only his right eyeball, which emanated light and was about to disappear as well.
His spirit and nascent soul both rested atop that eyeball.
Despite Shi Tianhao's efforts, he could not vanquish Shi Tianyi's Origin Holy Light and purple clouds, although his Final Holy Light was rapidly collected.
Standing in the void with horrendous wounds and barely a breath left, Shi Tianhao showed no sign of fatigue.
With long black hair that fell upon his shoulders, his sharp face showed nothing but unstoppable resolve.
"This is it." said Shi Tianhao as he looked at what remained of Shi Tianyi.
Xuan Lin Holy Man suddenly coughed and white clouds from his power rushed toward the duo, only to be stopped in its tracks by Lin Feng.
"Today's fight is only between by disciples and Shi Tianyi! Whoever interferes in it will have his limbs broken by yours truly." said Lin Feng blatantly. Xuan Li, who was stood silent beside him the whole time, vanished on the spot.
The next moment, Xuan Li appeared above the Dragon Battle Arena. He unsheathed the sword from behind his back, a brutal ray of light shot into the sky, casting a eerie green hue across the sky of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land.
Xuan Lin Holy Man's expression had changed and he was just about to speak when he saw that Xuan Li had already drawn out the Heaven-Destroying Sword.
The light from the sword brought fear and horror to all who witnessed it. A blinding light followed the swing of the sword, flying straight toward Xuan Lin Holy Man.
From within his left eye shone a glimmer of light. The Thousand-Edge Radiance Flowing Mirror reflected the light as it was being released. Xuan Lin Holy Man was instantly enveloped in a thousand layers of space. Each layer coagulating in the air like a thousand mirrors, reflecting his existence in every mirror. The sight was surreal yet unpredictable.
But before the Heaven-Destroying Sword, all this was a useless facade. No matter the variations in space-time, it was no match for that divine sword.
In a flash of the mirror, an old man's silhouette appeared beside Xuan Lin Holy Man. He calmly exclaimed "The power of a Mahayana treasure has the power of destiny. The one who yields the power of Metaplasia isn't my match!".
Xuan Lin Holy Man did not utter word, but simply clasped his hands together in preparation of a spell.
The clouds rumbled as they shifted, releasing glimpses of golden light as they moved. The light formed the shape of a citadel, releasing tremendous power as it materialised.
This impregnable fortress had the looks of the Immortal Dragon City. From the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells, this was the sixth, Horizon City!
The armour of the Horizon City coupled with the defense of the Thousand-Edge Radiance Flowing Mirror finally stopped the Heaven-Destroying Sword.
Without letting Xuan Lin Holy Man catch his breath, Xuan Li swung down once again. This swing was more brutal and merciless than before, raining down like an avalanche. The Heaven Dragon Ancient Land trembled as though it was about to be destroyed in a single blow.
The masses of Qin began to panick, taking the Qin emperor a spell to stabilise the entire city.
Against this second blow, Xuan Lin Holy Man did not hesitate to release the Stone Ladder hidden within his right eye. The ladder grew rapidly, surrounding the entirety of the Horizon City like a moat.
Under its newfound protection, the Horizon City rose into the air like a true celestial castle, unfazed by the blow.
However, the onlooking crowd could only gaze upon in fear. The sight of a renown elder of the Great Void Sect, the powerful immortal soul Xuan Lin Holy Man forced into such a helpless position by a magic weapon shook the crowd.
From the east and west of the arena, Lin Feng and Kuang Heng rose to their feet. This sight caused most of the Dragon Battle Arena to erupt in chaos. Except for the north area where the Qin emperor Shi Yu was sitting, the other Immortal Soul elders could not control their areas.
The sight was just like two sleeping giants awakening at the same time.
Despite having a child-like appearance, Kuang Heng spoke coldly, "Are you going to be so merciless?"
"Those who kill will be killed eventually." replied Lin Feng. Kuang Heng nodded and folded his palms together. Instantly, the ground shook as a pillar of light shot out toward the sky as though bearing the entirety of its weight.
It was none other than the Supreme Evil-Suppressing Pillar!
The pillar seemed different when wielded by Kuang Heng than when Shi Tianyi was using it. This one seemed far more majestic, transcending the heavens, time, and evolution.
Although it did not destroy the Heaven Dragon Ancient Land, the pillar's two ends broke through the confines of this secluded world.
That was not all. From the growing gap made by the pillar, one could see the pillar extending through the void beyond time, like a heavenly river flowing so naturally.
As the pillar extended towards Lin Feng, he raised his right hand and pointed both his index and middle finger towards the sky, revealing a grey sword shape aura in the air. A stream of black and white emanated from Lin Feng, forming the symbol of Taichi. From its centre, the power of the grey sword rose, unleashing another dimension of power of creation.
The Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi!
With a swing of his hand, the sword shot out and the void erupted to chaos.
In a resounding bang, the pillar had been destroyed by Lin Feng's sword!
A horrific sight, as though the pillar of a dimension had collapsed!
Kuang Heng's eyes were flowing with rage, the flames expanding and contracting until it became nothing. Then they were cold once again.
His aura gradually disappeared, but the clouds around him swirled and formed its own citadel, enveloping him entirely.
Using his own Horizon City to fend against Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword, Kuang Heng sent out spell after spell, layer after layer of clouds that gathered above Lin Feng.
The white clouds turned to gold amidst a fury of rumble, releasing streaks of lightning. These were however not plain electricity, but sparks that felt like life itself.
Hundred Day Cloud Dragon Royal Thunder Spell!
Under the protection of the Horizon City, Kuang Heng accumulated an army of electric dragons which he promptly directed toward Lin Feng with a swipe of his fingers.
Without a change in expression or shift in the Heaven-Destroying Sword, Lin Feng channeled a spell through his left hand, instantly shattering the void.
Endless stream of Earth, Air, Fire and Water surged about in chaos. From the chaos emerged a bubble-like sphere, casting the elements back into balance.
Lin Feng tapped the bubble gently with his left hand, immediately bursting it. Two streams of energy, one clear one turbid, escaped the bubble, emerging with tremendous power.
The Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra!
The Yin and Yang surrounding Lin Feng spun with increasing intensity as he harnessed the power from the mantra and shattered the streaks of electricity from Kuang Heng.
As the battle ensued, Shi Tianhao had already caught up with Shi Tianyi, preparing a spell to stop him in his tracks. Shi Tianhao flew over with a punch.
Shi Tianyi's spirit had just begun to materialise, albeit without an arm, when he was struck by Shi Tianhao. Streams of cracks formed on his body.
Thoughts of dying formed in Shi Tianyi's mind. "It shouldn't be this way! I was born special, the pinnacle of beings! There's no way I could be inferior to someone with the likes of you! Not even if the Tao Foundation blood ran inside you!"
"From the day you plotted to steal any bit of my Tao Foundation, you had already admitted defeat!" exclaimed Shi Tianhao. "It was too early back then, but now justice is served. There exists justice in this world, even if it does not act on its own, I will deliver it to you!".
"Right now, your time is up!"
In a desperate howl, Shi Tianyi nascent soul erupted in flames, all his power concentrated within his pupil.
What seemed like a dull pupil from the loss of energy suddenly turned bright again.
"I, Shi Tianyi, will not bow to anyone!" cried Shi Tianyi.
"Die!" exclaimed Shi Tianhao.
Not allowing Shi Tianyi to regroup and power up, Shi Tianhao jumped and slammed his hands around the eyeball, forcefully ejecting Shi Tianyi's power and spirit. His nascent soul scattered and rained down on the surroundings.
Out of nowhere, a streak of black and white flew into the arena. Elegant Cloud Holy Woman was trying to save Shi Tianyi while Lin Feng was busy!
Lin Feng's gaze grew cold, "Get lost!".
Without him moving an inch, Xuan Li, who had forced Xuan Lin Holy Man into a corner, spun around and split the protection spell into two with a single swing of the sword.
Elegant Cloud Holy Woman was taken aback! She spun around and released a stream of silk from her sleeves, forming the silhouette of a woman.
The combined strength of an immortal soul elder and a weapon of Metaplasia resulted in a streak of black and white surrounding the Heaven-Destroying Sword.
But it was of no use.
A single swing of the sword split the silk in two.
At that instant, the wind grew chilly and the arena turned into a blizzard. Cao Wei from the Heaven Lake Sect, who had kept mum the entire time, finally revealed his true intention. His target was none other than Shi Tianhao!
The arena erupted with chaos.

Chapter 587: Lin Feng's power and the nature of the magic treasures
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The massive snowstorm surged towards Shi Tianhao like a dam just released. Cao Wei was trying to eliminate his rival amidst the chaos.
Lin Feng glanced at him, letting the snow and ice encapsulate his body.
The next moment, a flash of bright light appeared over Lin Feng. From within the void came a resounding bang, and a single bell broke through the void.
A single strike and all of Cao Wei's ice and snow instantly vapourised.
It was none other than the Bell of Destiny.
The appearance of the bell gradually transformed into that of a giant stone gate. The front of the gate was filled with ancient scriptures and drawing, from within seemed to breathe life.
Throughout the continuous chimes of the bell, the stone gate seemed to the having signs of early life. Such was the first variant of the Bell of Destiny, the Door of Life Creation.
It signified the beginning of life, the gates through which all matter first stepped through, the very power to create.
In a deafening roar, the heavy gates slammed opened.
The crowd grew mum as they held their breath in awe, even Kuang Heng, Xuan Lin Holy Man and the Qin emperor all turned their attention to these heavenly gates of creation.
From their abilities, they could tell that these gates shared the same source of power as Lin Feng.
These were Lin Feng's very own magic treasures!
As the gates opened and the blinding light flooded the arena, the silhouette of a man shot straight out towards Cao Wei.
"Are these...spiritual troops?" blurted Cao Wei as he stopped in his tracks, unable to react.
Using such military stratagem was not uncommon. Using various formation, one could group together many low leveled fighters to overcome higher leveled opponents through strength in numbers.
Even within the Divine Lands, this was a known tactic. Using monsters to replace human soldiers was already heard of.
The great Zhou Dynasty's Divine Army was famous across the lands for combining soldiers of varying power levels and abilities, each complementing one another to form a formidable army.
Ultimately, armies still had to rely on numbers. Making up for quality in quantity was indeed one such strategy.
Cao Wei's Heaven Lake Sect had a similar tactic.
The difference, however, was that they used conscious beings and not such spiritual troops. This was because only an original soul magic treasure could collect and create such troops, and even so, the product would be limited at the nascent soul stage.
With sufficient numbers, such a tactic might be useful. However, against Immortal Souls and weapons of their levels, the amount of spiritual energy poured into creating troops might seem as a waste. After all, one could use that energy to power oneself up.
But now, not only Cao Wei, but everyone present stared at that lone spiritual soldier in awe.
The soldier was covered half in white, the other half in black. His form oddly shaped, facial features fully developed, yet cold as ice.
That was not the catch. The thing here was no matter how you looked at it, this soldier's power level could clearly rival that of the immortal souls!
A spirit soldier who could match an immortal soul! Unbelievable!
"Was it an illusion? Or is it borrowing power from a magic treasure?" thought the onlookers. All who were present, including the three who had immortal soul powers, could only respond in shock.
This was Lin Feng's Bell of Destiny, a magic treasure that overflowed with life.
As a healing tool, the bell could revive even the dead. With it around, Lin Feng was unstoppable, no matter how grievous the wound, he would get it healed instantly.
But it was not just a way to protect oneself. This was a formidable weapon, for it gave life to the Taiji Soldiers!
Using one's abilities to create soldiers or armies was indeed a waste for many magic treasures. But for the Bell of Destiny, whose ability was the creation of life itself, this was a very apt way to harness its strengths.
As the crowd regained their composure, the soldier had already arrived in front of Cao Wei, delivering Lin Feng's signature Fist of the Great Heavenly Sun.
A flash of brilliance followed by brutal yellow flames. Cao Wei had no choice but to muster all his strength to block such an assault.
At this sight, many within the onlooking crowd murmured, "this is indeed a spiritual soldier having the power of an immortal soul."
This was a sight never seen before throughout the Divine Lands. The mere thought of an army of such caliber sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.
The crowd all looked at the heavy stone gates in disbelief, "Just what kind of magic treasure is this?"
"This fighter has its flaws. It's not on the same level as an actual immortal soul warrior." said Wu Qingrou of the Qin empire as he broke his silence. "It is born from pure spirit combined with the powers of magic treasure of an immortal soul."
"But remove the source of its energy, in other words bring it away from the Bell of Destiny, and it will gradually lose its consciousness and power."
"Besides, it's still a far cry from the master's original Physical Spell Body."
Qin emperor Shi Yu muttered under his breath, "But this magic treasure of Lin Feng's knows no boundaries, who knows how many more of such soldiers it can produce. Should he be able to increase the power of this magic treasure even further, who can tell how powerful the soldiers will become?"
Wu Qingrou's expression turned into a bitter smile, "That's also true...and an army wins in numbers..."
Before he finished his sentence, the heavy stone gates rumbled once again, and from within emerged another spirit soldier headed straight for Cao Wei.
Cao Wei's left hand contorted an unknown spell while his right hand, shaped like a dagger, pointed towards his forehead.
As he opened his left palm, what seemed like a blizzard shot out in all directions like an uncontrollable flame. The tip of his right index finger turning everything he touched into ice, his entire head to toe covered like an iceberg.
The next moment, the iceberg erupted like a volcano, sending shards of ice flying everywhere. What accompanied was a cacophony of ice and fire, a perfect symphony.
Streaks of blue and red danced around mid-air, disappearing before anyone knew what was happening.
The Dual Sword Auras of Ice and Fire!
This unique and lethal spell pushed back the first Taiji soldier. But before he could regroup, the second soldier has already pressed his way into Cao Wei's defense.
"Rise!" Cao Wei shifted his hands, and an icy mist followed his fluid motions, dancing in the wind like tiny blades.
This was a hidden magic treasure of the Heaven Lake Sect. The Ice and Soul Clouds! A wonder it was, constantly changing form between ice and mist.
Cao Wei released this power using the first immortal soul stage, undoubtedly not harnessing its full potential yet. But combined with his Dual Sword Auras of Ice and Fire, he used this potent combination to sweep his surroundings.
But the two Taiji soldiers seemed completely unfazed, attacking back to back, side to side.
They came from opposite directions with the Spell of the Boundless Sea and the Fist of the Great Heavenly Sun.
One of the soldiers took Cao Wei's attack head on, unleashing torrents of water and reflecting Cao Wei's ice and fire with double the fury. Unbelievable!
The void suddenly opened, flashes of red and a spit of fire unleashed as an elderly man stepped out. The blizzard surrounding him soon turned to a burning flame.
Under the heat of his flames, the water from the Taiji soldier's Spell of Boundless Sea seemed to completely evaporate.
From another end, the void opened once again and out stepped another elderly man. He did not pay attention to the Taiji soldier, clearly his target being Shi Tianhao.
Upon this sight, all the immortal soul elders present reacted with eyebrows raised, "Have the Two Elders of Ice and Fire both emerged at the same time?"
Shi Zongyue studied the duo intensively, "They have come out early from their thousand years of cultivation. It's a pity they haven't achieved the combined immortal soul stage. Really, what a pity!"
"But for them to make such a sacrifice, what is it that Shi Tianhao has?"
The duo were in fact elders from the Heaven Lake Sect. Despite not becoming one, they were already at the pinnacle of martial art, a truly formidable opponent.
As the Fire Elder appeared, his flames overcame the Immortal Soul Taiji soldiers in no time. He had given up the cultivation of any ice related power eons ago to fully master the art of fire.
Just at this moment, from the Door of Life Creation charged out another two more Taiji soldiers, both of the first Immortal Soul stage.
The crowd grew uneasy. It was widely believed that Lin Feng was the only one within the Celestial Sect of Wonders to attain Immortal Soul powers, and that subduing him would leave the rest of his sect vulnerable.
That was the plan for the Heaven Lake Sect. But who would expect Lin Feng's magic treasure to able to churn out soldiers of this caliber?
Clearly, the Celestial Sect of Wonders was not short of Immortal Soul warriors.
Although the troops were only at the first stage of the Immortal Soul, and were not a match for the two elders who were at the second stage, where could one possibly hope to find so many second stage elders?
The four Taiji soldiers split apart in four directions, forming a simple square formation.
The crowd tensed up in disbelief. The strength of an army was in its numbers, and here with this formation, the Taiji soldiers could unleash serious potential.
The four of them released their attacks simultaneously. The Spell of Boundless Sea, Fist of Great Heavenly Sun, Universal Light and Holy Wind, Heaven-Bearing Print all unleashed at the same time. Under the four elements, the void behind them was torn asunder.
As the dust settled, the Door of Life Creation rumbled once again and a huge bubble emerged in front of the elders and Cao Wei, stopping the ice elder from charging towards Shi Tianhao.
The Immortal Soul elders from the Heaven Lake Sect stood frozen, for they had just witnessed the terror of this technique of Lin Feng's.
The ability to create, destroy and shape a dimension.
The Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra!

Chapter 588: Taiji Soldiers, Suppress Mahayana!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
In their newfound battle formation, the four Taiji soldiers had a collective increase in power level. It was not something to trifle with.
However, for the two elders, this was not a big challenge. Moreover, the difference in strength between the first and second stage of immortal souls was worlds apart. The power of virtual entities was not something that a mock immortal soul could handle.
But for the four soldiers to join hands and perform the Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra was indeed a cause of worry.
It was precarious for the duo to handle power of such magnitude.
The ice elder stopped in his tracks, not bothering Shi Tianhao anymore. He muttered under his breath to Cao Wei, "Hand over the Ice and Soul Clouds."
Without a word, Cao Wei passed the treasure over to the elder.
The ice elder was the exact opposite of the fire elder. He similarly, had given up on fire, and focused purely on ice, reaching the very pinnacle of martial arts. Together, the duo complemented each other and harnessed the full potential of the Ice and Soul Clouds, exceeding their own limits.
The moment the ice elder held the magic treasure, the blizzard itself seemed to teem with spirit and life. The spirit of the treasure, together with the elder, seemed to have brought the entire arctic region to the arena, filling with with ice and snow.
In the now icy arena, the snow battered against Lin Feng's bubble, trying to freeze it before it went any further.
But the power of the Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra was too strong. The bubble burst and broke free of the ice around it.
The trio from the Heaven Lake Sect was taken aback. No doubt this mantra was not as strong as the one coming from Lin Feng himself, but it was sufficient.
"Show yourself!" cried the two elders, as they turned to each other and brought their right index to the other's forehead. Upon contact, both elders jumped backwards, revealing a stream stemming from the other party's heads.
The stream of red and blue combined shot up into the sky, breaking a hole in the void.
Out of the void descended a silhouette of a man.
"Where is this?" came the solemn and gruff voice.
Everyone inside the arena could suddenly feel a crushing pressure from above. Whoever this man was definitely was one who could match the likes of Kuang Heng, Shi Yu, Xuan Lin Holy Man and the other Immortal Soul elders.
From the space above stepped out the man in all his glory. A middle aged man dressed in pure white. His crimson red hair billowed in the wind, yet his eyebrows were like two icy daggers, a complete white.
Qin emperor Shi Yu and Wu Qingrou shared a look, "It's the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain."
These peak was the true ancient magic treasure of the Heaven Lake Sect. Eons ago in the Northern Realms, there was a odd looking mountain made entirely out of ice and snow. Yet at its very tips revealed the insides to me molten lava.
The symphony of ice and fire was first discovered by the creator of the Heaven Lake Sect long ago, who sought to turn this combination into a power through his spells. Only the sect's strongest were allowed to access this power. After a very long time of using this, the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain became the sect's very own Mahayana magic treasure.
As the treasure evolved to its third stage, its Mahayana grade abilities allowed the user to transfer the power freely in and out of the mountain and use it at his will.
In terms of combat power, a Mahayana magic treasure was on par with a third stage immortal soul warrior.
This man who had appeared before the crowd was none other than the essence and spirit of the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain itself.
This was truly the strongest warrior in the whole of the Heaven Lake Sect. Usually situated in one place, this time he was summoned by the two elders and Cao Wei to step forth.
Finally, at the sight of the Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra, the man in white could hold it no longer.
He stood at and raised his palms towards the sky, instantly a space opened and the tip of a towering mountain appeared above the arena.
It was a majestic masterpiece made of ice. Its crystal like form beyond anything anyone had seen. From its tip was billows of thick black smoke, evidence of the lava within.
His hands shifted and the mountain peak was hurled towards the two streams that came from the Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra's bubble. One clear one turbid, both streams combined to tackle this ginormous monster.
The peak suddenly transformed. Where the mountain was was now ice and fire. As clear smoke escaped from the flames and thick smog came off the ice, it was clear that the ice and fire was trying to force the clear and turbid streams back into their original form.
The sheer show of force left the crowd astounded.
The four Taiji soldiers were a far cry from Lin Feng himself. Despite the Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra being a formidable move, it was not enough to overcome the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain.
All of the sudden, the Door of Life Creation flashed and rumbled, and out came another Taiji soldier.
And another!
One more!
In a blink of an eye, eight more Taiji soldiers had appeared! Eight!
These eight did not split into two groups of four. Instead, they made their own formation. Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain and Pond, each one represented by one soldier.
They stood in a octagon, the power of an immortal soul coming from every single one of them. Their energy poured into the square in front of them, the strength of eight combining with the existing strength of four.
With newfound strength, the power of the Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra grew manifold.
The clear and turbid stream combined and split once again, beginning to take effect.
One sank and became matter, earth, land and water.
The other rose to form the sky, air, wind, sun and moon.
The four elements of fire, water, earth and air became distinct, a clear sign of the power of the mantra. The Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain shook and trembled, as though a skyscraper trying to survive an earthquake.
The man in white looked worried for a moment and leaped atop the mountain, stabilising it.
The two Elders of Ice and Fire joined in the fray, entering the mountain in a streak of red and blue.
Cao Wei looked at Lin Feng, who was still engaged in battle with Kuang Heng far away, and seemed to not be bothered about what was ongoing at this site.
In a single battle cry, Cao Wei unleashed his immortal soul avatar, who joined the elders in the mountain. The combined power of the Heaven Lake Sect elders were all concentrated in that single Mahayana magic treasure.
In flashes of red and blue, the mountain continued expanding. Twenty thousand feet became thirty, and the sheer weight of the mountain was crushing on the twelve Taiji soldiers and their growing spell below.
But no one was looking at this spectacle in the air. Their attention, instead, was on the heavy stone gates of the Door of Life Creation. From outside, they could see shapes and shadows moving about within, yet no one stepped out.
Was this really what they called the Gestation magic treasure?
To corner a Mahayana magic treasure using just a Gestation magic treasure was not impossible, but rarely heard of. Even though for those below the Destiny class it was possible for a lower level one to overcome a superior, it was usually the Gestation challenging the Metaplasia, and the Metaplasia vying against the Mahayana.
This was indeed a miracle. The Door of Life Creation was holding its own against the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain.
A distance away, Xuan Li continued in merciless assault, shaving off bit after bit of The Xuan Lin Holy Man's Horizon City.
Each blow more brutal than before, chipping off more than before. The entire Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land trembled with the swings as Xuan Li pressed towards Xuan Lin Holy Man.
"This place isn't convenient. Let's go somewhere else to settle this." Xuan Lin Holy Man made no reply, but opened a place in the void.
Inside the world of nothingness, Xuan Lin Holy Man stopped and turned to face the hounding Xuan Li behind. His expression as cold as ever, as though nothing existed and nothing mattered at all.
His robes fluttered in space, becoming one with the ebb and flow of the void. His physical being expanded rapidly, as though he was the world itself. In a single clap, his palm were filled with spinning white clouds that formed disc-like shapes.
Between the layers of the Horizon City, the discs maintained their integrity as though they were indestructible. The discs coagulated, forming a mold of pure energy.
Without any expression, it was as though an executioner stood in front of the death-row criminal.
Qin emperor Shi Yu stood in his place, but his vision transcended the void and he saw what was happening.
"Could this be Xuan Lin Holy Man's innate power?"
Such power was only attainable by the third stage of the immortal soul, and it was beyond this world. The void shook and tremors flew like water ripples.
At the same time, both Kuang Heng and Lin Feng entered the void. Kuang Heng unleashed his innate power in similar fashion, clasping his hands together as the energy swarmed around and palpitated.
Lin Feng remained composed, the Taiji symbol at his forehead spinning faster than ever.

Chapter 589: The Only One Below Destiny and the Supreme Void
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
With a single sword of the Metaplasia magic treasure, Xuan Li was able to push back a second stage Immortal Soul elder.
The Bell of Destiny that transformed into the Door of Life Creation, alone, was enough to tackle the whole of the Heaven Lake Sect by producing the Taiji soldiers.
All this took place in the lifespan of a candle flame. Within this remarkable process, Shi Tianhao's Origin Holy Light, with the aid of Lin Feng's purple clouds, drew out all of Shi Tianyi's Final Holy Light.
The two divine lights swirled within his Aurous Core like two ends of the same snake.
Although he was the rightful owner of the Origin Holy Light, but it would take time to convert the Final Holy Light and harness its potential.
But Shi Tianhao was not one to be anxious. He held on tightly to the right eyeball left behind by Shi Tianyi.
Shi Tianyi's spirit and soul was forced out from the eyeball, and he held an unmovable gaze towards Shi Tianhao.
He knew that he had to leave, for his soul and spirit would disappear and he would perish forever.
But it was not just the Holy Light of Creation that had fallen into his opponent's hands, but his eyeball as well. Reality differed far too drastically from what he had expected, and it drove him mad.
In a tightening grip, the eyeball began to emanate light from within, showing a connection to somewhere in space.
The eyeball was linked to Shi Tianyi's consciousness, and such pressure on the eyeball was akin to crushing his physical body itself. He let out a painful howl.
"This is it." said Shi Tianhao as he motioned towards what was left of Shi Tianyi.
"There's no way I'm inferior to you!" raged Shi Tianyi, as his nascent soul contracted into a ball of bright light. The void around the ball was distorted and seemed to cave in.
The next moment, the ball of light started expanding, letting out streaks of light from its cracks. This light shot out with utmost destructive force.
Clearly, Shi Tianyi was trying to self-destruct in an attempt to take Shi Tianhao along with him.
"You brought this upon yourself." said Shi Tianhao as he squeezed the eyeball once again. "Eon!" mouthed Shi Tianhao.
Upon the activation of the spell, time and space seemed to freeze around the ball of light and Shi Tianyi.
The sword reappeared once agin in Shi Tianhao's hands. In a final strike, he impaled both the ball of light and Shi Tianyi's consciousness.
Shi Tianyi's expression was bereft of hope. With this spell, Shi Tianyi's consciousness was enveloped by the ball of light, and in a violent explosion, everything seemed to turn to dust, then to nothingness.
Kuang Heng, who had been silently observing from afar, rushed over at this sight. But Lin Feng was already a step ahead, and in a sweep of his robe, transmitted both himself and Kuang Heng to another place.
They rushed out of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient City and into the void just as Xuan Li and Xuan Lin Holy Man had exited.
Within the city, the crowd was still adjusting to what had just transpired before their eyes.
Some of them looked at each other in query, "Did the big rock just fall like that?"
"Eliminated completely. Even self-destruction could not bring the little rock down with him." came the reply.
"The big rock was powerful enough! He was the cream of the crop, almost a living legend already. If he lost, there could only be one explanation, and that was that the little rock from the Celestial Sect of Wonders was even more powerful!"
"Talking about the Celestial Sect of Wonders..." the crowd directed their attention to the void above the city.
Back at the west side of the arena, not a single disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders remained, as they had all been transmitted away by Lin Feng.
All the Immortal Soul elders present could sit down no longer. With a spell, they entered the void, all eager to witness this historic battle.
This was a battle beyond that of the two Shis.
Within the void, both Xuan Lin Holy Man and Kuang Heng had already unleashed their innate powers.
Lin Feng and Kuang Heng stared at each other, the ball of energy before Kuang Heng spinning as rapid as ever, words and scriptures released from its core.
In the dark world of the void, all these words seemed to formed a natural Celestial Light river, releasing power from within.
This Celestial Light was the essence of Kuang Heng's power, and it manipulated time.
As the river flowed through Kuang Heng's Horizon City, Lin Feng swung down once more with the Heaven-Destroying Sword. But upon impact, it was the sword that started disintegrating! The sword that could cut everything!
"Getting old, are we?" said Lin Feng.
Combined with the essence of Kuang Heng's Celestial Light, the Horizon City, too, had the ability to control time. Anything that went up against it would age and disappear.
Of all things in the world, what could truly withstand the test of time?
On the other end, Xuan Lin Holy Man had also poured all his essence into the Horizon City that he created. But against the sword of Xuan Li, his city crumbled to pieces.
The shattering of this fortress released tremendous energy, shocking the crowd. It was as though an entire world was leveled in a single blow.
As the spirit from the Horizon City dissipated, it felt as thought he entire universe was crumbling, a big bang all over again.
In a final desperate moment, the release of power from the destruction of Xuan Lin Holy Man's essence seemed to overshadow even that of Kuang Heng's Celestial Light.
Even the third staged Immortal Soul warriors would do best to be cautious of this power.
The numerous Immortal Soul elders who were onlooking all kept their distance. Without a direct impact from this power, just a slight bump would be sufficient to cause them serious damage.
Xuan Li remained expressionless. Without a word, Xuan Li raised the sword once again and swung it down, cleaving the void in two, like a piece of paper torn straight down the center.
The power that was unleashed from the prior explosion seemed to have lost its life from this blow as well, and everything fell silent for a moment. What a horrific weapon!
For all that Xuan Lin Holy Man had done and built up, all of it was destroyed in a single blow.
"For a Mahayana magic treasure, this power is astounding" said Xuan Lin Holy Man, "but it's still not a Destiny magic treasure yet..."
His both hands clamped shut in a blink of an eye, "Drum Fairy, show yourself!" cried Xuan Lin Holy Man.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
What followed was a series of bangs. Each one louder than before. Each bang having the magnitude of the the Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra.
White light filled the void, creating a curtain of purity. From the curtains, a drum appeared.
The Formation Bursting Drum!
Together with the Void Yin-Yang Clock, these were the two magic treasures of the Great Void. They ranked just below the Destiny class magic treasure, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, and were one of the most precious weapons of the Great Void Sect!
Beside the drum stood an elderly man. Tall and built in stature, his posture in itself a show of might.
This old man was the spirit of the Formation Bursting Drum itself. Without a word since his appearance, two drum sticks formed in his palms and he slammed down on the drum.
As if really splitting heaven and earth, ring after ring of white light was released from the epicenter caused by the drum beats.
It was said that this drum was the counter to almost every formation in the world. But alone, it already contained tremendous power.
Lin Feng glanced at the drum. He had heard of it a long time ago, but this was the first time coming up and close with it.
"The two treasures of the Great Void definitely live up to their names." Lin Feng grinned and from his body came a small ball of light. The light contorted in mid-air and became the Two Elements of Creation Formation.
Upon impact with the light from the drum, Lin Feng's formation grew wildly in defense.
"This formation of yours is very unusual." said Kuang Heng softly as his twirled the river of time at his fingertips.
In a flash of movement, he had appeared before Lin Feng and slammed down with a palm.
This was the fourth technique of the Great Void Sect in its highest order, the Heavenly Universe Palm!
As though the sky caved in and was falling on Lin Feng, the astonishing power from the palm came crushing down. Yet in his usual calm demeanour, Lin Feng returned it with his own Heavenly Hammer of the Eight Trigrams. The two giants clashed in what seemed like the shattering of a mountain.
Miles of void was instantly leveled into a flat piece and turned from void to real space.
At the source of collision, Kuang Heng stood motionless against Lin Feng, one giant against the other. But the River of Time was taking effect, aging everything it was pitted against, even Lin Feng's right hand had begun its transformation.
Lin Feng may have been an immortal soul and his body was definitely beyond normal, but against the power of time, his skin and flesh began to wrinkle and age, looking frail and weak.
The Taichi symbol at his forehead began to spin once again, and his right hand returned to normality.
His appearance seemed to be the same as before, but to Kuang Heng's consciousness, Lin Feng had turned into the symbol of Taichi itself and had stretched across the universe.
From the void above both warriors' head came puff after puff of purple clouds. Out of the void appeared a majestic white jade mountain, Mount Yujing!
In a single spell, Lin Feng sent Shi Tianhao and the rest into the mountain, and sent the mountain flying towards Kuang Heng!
Kuang Heng did not appear anxious, but merely shout out, "Yin-Yang elder! Show yourself!"

Chapter 590: Mount Shu Is Finally Here!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Nothing moved in the void, only reverberations from a bell...
Following the sound, once could trace the source back to Mount Yujing. It was not much of a bell compared to Lin Feng's Bell of Destiny, but a big bell nonetheless.
The bell felt hollow and light. Its appearance translucent, like layers of mist or vapour glued together to form this odd-looking structure.
Along its exterior, two streaks of white and black ran down each side, looking like the symbols of yin and yang.
This was truly a magic treasure, the counterpart to the Formation Bursting Drum, the Void Yin-Yang Clock!
These two were reputedly the strongest magic treasures below the Destiny class treasures, and were the pinnacle of all Mahayana magic treasures.
Beside the clock stood an elderly man dressed in translucent white. His robes billowed in the wind, revealing it to be the same shade as the clock itself, slightly more transparent.
The odd part about his appearance was his two sideburns. The left side was a pure cream white, while the right was a jet black streak, as though reflecting yin and yang.
This was no doubt the Yin-Yang Elder, the essence of the Void Yin-Yang Clock, who shone in comparison to even Kuang Heng and Xuan Lin Holy Man.
He did not look down the mountain immediately, but cast his gaze far through the void, at the Bell of Destiny who was intertwined in battle with the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain.
"And it's just a Gestation level magic treasure, how fearsome..." Only then did he look down the mountain.
With a gentle tap, he sent reverberations through the translucent looking clock. But there was not a single sound, just ripples of the void sent through the atmosphere.
Everyone, even those standing in the Divine Lands, seemed to feel a tremor in their bodies.
The Yin-Yang Clock could not, or did not, produce actual sounds, what it did was to manipulate space. Streaks of white and black flowed down the clock and towards the mountain below.
Although the clock itself was not surprisingly huge, but the space it created below seemed huge and eager to swallow the entire mountain.
The first to sense that something was amiss, was none other than Lin Feng himself.
He felt something like the sky tearing the bonds between himself and Mount Yujing, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, and the Heavenly-Revolving Purple Clouds.
Kuang Heng looked at Lin Feng and said, "The power of the Void Yin-Yang Clock extends to space itself. Other than the Destiny class magic treasures, nothing can stand up to it."
"Your mountain may be strong, but the powers within are not from one body. As long as they are separate entities, their bonds can still be torn by the clock."
He continued, "You've been using the mountain's power to tap into the power of the void. But using fire to fight fire, there's no such thing as an unstoppable force."
Lin Feng smiled and replied, "If that premise is true, then the Void Yin-Yang Clock is bound to be defeated."
Before he could complete the sentence, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree shone more brightly than ever, its branches and leaves shook violently. As the line shone brighter than before, the void around the tree began twisting and contorting, a clear act of defiance against the Void Yin-Yang Clock.
"Not the four spiritual trees, but something more powerful?" said Yin-Yang Elder as his form began to shake and his essence became one with the clock itself, releasing more power than before.
In a flow of white and black, the clock seemed more persistent than before, trying to encapsulate all of the Mount Yujing.
"The clock may not be invincible, but it definitely is enough to handle your precious mountain and tree." whispered Kuang Heng quietly.
Lin Feng was done with the Void Yin-Yang Clock. He turned and started pacing towards Kuang Heng.
The light from Lin Feng shone on Kuang Heng, and the River of Time that he was holding onto seemed to stop in its flow.
The entire river seemed to have been frozen solid. But what could stop the flow of time?
Something that could not age. Something that could live forever!
"Eternal Glow!" Kuang Heng seemed to reveal a tint of horror. "This is the ancient power of the Immortal Dragon City! You...you...no wonder I felt that something was amiss right from the beginning when I got here. So Shi Yu had completely mastered the technique of the Immortal Dragon City." Continued Kuang Heng.
"But, the Eternal Glow...Shi Yu's training...how had it got to do with you? Could it be the sword?"
And he knew. Kuang Heng immediately put up the Horizon City to fend against Lin Feng's assault.
With the Eternal Glow, Lin Feng was able to counter Kuang Heng's River of Time. Though not able to destroy it, he was able to hold off its aging properties.
With increasing ferocity in each attack, the combined power of Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword and Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra combined both the powers of creation and destruction. The newfound strength finally hacked into Kuang Heng's Horizon City.
"Rise!" uttered Kuang Heng. A plane of light shot out from his body.
The light brought out something so pure that it could not accept anything unlike itself. It pushed Lin Feng away. Looking back, it seemed as though Kuang Heng had put on additional clothing, and its material seemed to be just light.
A magic treasure, the Natural Light Celestial Robe!
Lin Feng's attack was instantly repelled. In the sea of light, his sword became completely enveloped.
On the other front, the Formation Bursting Drum had taken on Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation.
As the formation unleashed its powers in all its glory, beams of light shone out in all directions. The light expanded like the sky, within it being scriptures and words that joined together to form a gray-scale masterpiece.
The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds fused the Central Wutu Divine Light to harness air and land, while little Xiao and the Deathly Gas Stone became life and death.
In the formation, a white flame danced in unison with light from a purple crystal.
The Pure Yang Primordial Flame and the Netherworld Purple Crystal joined forces to harness yin and yang, the power over all creation and evolution.
The Two Elements of Creation Formation, The Six Forms of Creation and Destruction, the Changes of Yin and Yang!
Within the formation, a seemingly transparent piece of leather transformed and played out impossibly colourful scenes.
This was the gift from the Heavenly Fox Grand Sage! Spun from a silk demon, and masterfully crafted by the hands of the Heavenly Fox Grand Sage, this treasure had unlimited transformations.
An empty plain, brown dusty deserts, towering mountains, the clear blue sea, all the many variations of the scenes on the leather, as though each scene depicted a world of its own.
The item paired with the Ancient Mirage Leather was a piece of white jade crystal. The very Heaven-Reflecting Stone that Shi Tianhao had used to subdued the eyeball of Shi Tianyi.
The light from this stone eliminated all illusions, and thus it removed all from the leather.
Together, the power of illusion and reality seemed to have reached a new peak.
The Two Elements of Creation Formation, The Six Forms of Creation and Destruction, the Changes of illusion and reality!
Lin Feng's Six Forms were incomplete before. It needed the simultaneous action of six changes and twelve treasures to complete the formation.
Only when the formation was complete, could each change fully utilise its true power.
Before merging, there was only the changes of land and air, life and death, but now there was yin and yang, illusion and reality.
Now with four elements playing at the same time, the Two Elements of Creation Formation seemed to reach an all new level.
But the Formation Bursting Drum was equally relentless. With the old man leading the front, beat after beat broke through the air.
Each beat had previously beaten one variation of the formation. But with the newfound balance of four, the drum beats seemed to have no effect.
While Lin Feng was stuck in battle with Kuang Heng, some of his attention lingered within the formation. With a swift spell from his right hand, the Eternal Glow entered the formation.
Instantly, the formation lit up with tiny specks of light like the fine sand of a tropical beach. On its own, each dot of light seemed ostensibly insignificant. But together, its power was remarkable.
This was the hidden gem of the Radiance Swort Sect, the Instant Heavenly Gravel.
The highest pugilist of the sect needed this item to harness the speed of light in their attacks.
Back when the leader of the sect brought Tao Yaoyao up Mount Yujing to ask for the Heaven-patching vine, he had given his own treasure in exchange. Lin Feng had already planned his strategy to first obtain the Instant Heavenly Gravel, then the Eternal Glow.
These two treasures, one eternal, one ephemeral, combined to harness the changes of time.
The Two Elements of Creation Formation, The Six Forms of Creation and Destruction, the Changes of eternity and ephemerality!
With the fifth player into the formation, its power was elevated to new heights, beyond what the Formation Bursting Drum could fathom.
The Drum Fairy, Kuang Heng, and Xuan Lin Holy Man seemed to grow weary in fear.
The formation grew like an uncontrollable beast, swallowing the sky.
Just as this transpired, from beyond the stars of the void shot a single beam of light!
The Saintly Celestial Sword Qi!
Mount Shu Sword Sect!

Chapter 591: Lin Feng's Holy Light of Creation
Translator: Sparrow Translations
Editor: Sparrow Translations
A streak of white sword aura tore the river of stars apart and attacked Lin Feng.
It was the sect-stabilizing treasure of the Mount Shu Sword Sect, the most powerful art of swordplay in the Grand Celestial World, the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi!
Lin Feng's gaze flashed and he conjured a spell with his right hand. He pointed towards the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi and a streak of greyish sword aura attacked it back. It was the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi.
The greyish and white sword auras collided. There was no tremendous reaction, but the collision point in void space twisted. It became like a whirlpool.
This whirlpool spun continuously, causing everything around it to be engulfed. There were even small stars that were dragged into it.
When the whirlpool expanded until the surrounding void space could not handle, the whirlpool exploded and sword radiance flew in all directions like meteors. It flooded the entire universe.
Lin Feng retaliated with a slash, but did not bother afterwards. He turned his head violently to look at the Void Yin-Yang Clock that was about to engulf Mount Yujing.
"The boundless space mysteries, changes of Yin and Yang are indeed extraordinary." Lin Feng said. "But towards me, it's useless."
As he said, Lin Feng's body started to flash with black and white color.
It started out as a weak radiance, but an extremely frightening aura started to spread in void space.
Light radiances and clouds surged, surrounding Lin Feng in the middle. Whereas the black and white color took turns to flash. They became more and more blinding, as if an intersecting Yin-Yang Sun was rising!
In that Sun, there seemed to be a higher being opening his eyes. His might swept the entire place and universe.
That frightening power caused everyone to be petrified.
Although it stopped at the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, which was very far from Lin Feng, just by witnessing this power caused those below the realm of the Immortal Soul Stage to tremble and submit.
It was as if an ordinary person had watched as the Gods descended, and that person could not help but bow down to the Gods.
No matter how resilient one's cultivation was, how powerful one's soul was or how vigorous one's powers were, they could only bow down at this point.
The Supreme Radiance Swordmaster, Sun Radiance Swordmaster and the other Immortal Soul Stage Elders could remain still, but their expressions became extremely serious. They could ensure that they do not submit to that black and white radiance, but they could not ensure that for their disciples.
This was only them witnessing the black and white radiance. They had not even opposed it yet.
Only under the protection of Shi Yu did the masses from the Great Qin Empire avoid being influenced. But for those below the Immortal Soul Stage, including Shi Xingyun and Shi Chongyun, their bodies were trembling non-stop. They could go soft anytime.
Wu Qingrou's smile disappeared completely at this moment and he mumbled, "Holy Light of Creation! This leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders possesses the Holy Light of Creation!"
Regardless whether it was Shi Tianhao or Shi Tianyi, although they could initiate the Holy Light of Creation and catch the attention of the Immortal Soul Stage Elders, they were only in the Aurous Core and Nascent Soul Stage respectively.
The Holy Light of Creation was only just birthed. It was frightening, but because of the unlimited potential it had. It contained a power concept that was immature yet possessing an unbelievable and mysterious force.
And in front of everyone was Lin Feng, who was already in the Immortal Soul Stage. He was summoning the Holy Light of Creation that belonged to him!
It started out very small, but in a blink of an eye, the black and white radiance had already surged. The frightening aura caused everyone's spirit to shake. The might of it repressed the Nine Heavens and the Earth.
Eventually, the position where Lin Feng was at started to shine with unlimited radiance. Countless mysterious runes and images covered the entire void space.
The Holy Light of Creation carried the spiritual energy of the Heavens and Earth, earning unrivalled powers. As the owner's cultivation increased, it would get increasingly more powerful.
Right now, Lin Feng seemed like a God who descended. He stood proudly in void space.
He looked at the Void Yin-Yang Clock that was going to engulf Mount Yujing and suddenly, a streak of Holy Light was shot out. The boundless radiance converted into a shocking, long rainbow. It seemed to divide the entire void space into two.
In the radiance, the voices of the Gods and Buddhas were heard. Their light figures converted into a real entity and were erected in the radiance. It was as if they were standing on a celestial bridge.
Yang Clock shook. The expression of the Yin-Yang Elder changed. As he took a step forward, he combined with the body of the magic treasure beside him.
The Void Yin-Yang Clock shook the entire universe. As it retreated rapidly, it barely avoided Lin Feng's Holy Light of Creation. But it could not summon its powers against Mount Yujing anymore.
The connection between Mount Yujing, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, Purple Clouds and Lin Feng was established again.
Lin Feng did not bother with the Yin-Yang Clock. His vision shifted towards Kuang Heng. The Holy Light was shot out and covered the entire place.
Kuang Heng was shocked. The Celestial Light Yin Mantra had re-surfaced, but it did not take effect. On the other hand, it was useless.
Under its effects, even the time of the universe would pass quickly, moving towards desolation.
But it was useless against Lin Feng's Holy Light of Creation. From the black and white radiance, Lin Feng burst out. The Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi destroyed the Celestial Light Yin Mantra!
In the next moment, Lin Feng came beside Kuang Heng.
Kuang Heng conjured a spell. The sea of clouds started to surface doors that shone with golden light. It was the Zhongtian Door abhijna of the Great Void's Nine Heavenly Spells.
He wanted to use the Zhongtian Door to open an escape route for himself and avoid Lin Feng.
"It's too late to leave!" Lin Feng waved his fist and the Holy Light of Creation engulfed the Heavens. With a fist, it crushed the Zhongtian Door.
In front of him, any door would be sealed. There was no escape route!
As he crushed the Zhongtian Door, Lin Feng's body flashed and he burst towards Kuang Heng. He lifted his palm and his fingers spread wide apart. It came crashing down.
Kuang Heng was also shining. It was the Natural Light Celestial Robe taking effect.
But it was a pity that the light had just started shining before it was extinguished by Lin Feng's palms. It was as if a finger had pressed onto an incense.
"Order!" Kuang Heng released a piece of the Celestial Light Yin Mantra Fruit, which consolidated the powers of the Celestial Light Yin Mantra. The fruit exploded and reversed the power concept of the flow of time. This caused the movement of time in the entire universe to stop.
As he exploited this momentary stoppage of time, Kuang Heng converted into a flowing radiance and advanced.
But the Natural Light Celestial Robe was gripped tightly by Lin Feng and he could not free himself. Kuang Heng could only forsake his magic treasure and free himself of Lin Feng's restraint.
Lin Feng did not pursue Kuang Heng, but he clasped his palms. After that, he slapped the Natural Light Celestial Robe. As black and white light flashed, the original soul of this magic treasure was crushed.
It was pity that the Natural Light Celestial Robe, which was a strong magic treasure, had its original soul destroyed.
Lin Feng threw the Natural Light Celestial Robe into the Two Elements of Creation Formation.
Within the formation, there was already a set of pitch-black remains of a ferocious beast. It exuded a boundless dark power.
An Immemorial Demon, King of Darkness, the remains of a Mingdu exuded the most extreme, primitive and pure power concept of darkness.
Not only was there the power concept of eventual destruction, it also contained the peaceful concept of life and destiny creation, resembling that of a mother.
But as the Natural Light Celestial Robe was hurled in, this dark power became extremely brutal and ferocious. Both this dark power and the light of the Natural Light Celestial Robe did not give in to each other.
During this conflict, both parties summoned the extremities of their powers. As light and darkness clashed, they initiated countless transformations.
Two Elements of Creation Formation, Six Forms of Creation and Destruction, Transformations of Light and Darkness!
The first to realize things were amiss was the Drum Fairy, the original soul of the Formation Bursting Drum. He observed the Two Elements of Creation Formation and his expression became very serious.
That was because the Two Elements of Creation was developing a surprising metamorphosis.
Heavens and Earth!
Life and Death!
Yin and Yang!
Eternity and Instance!
Reality and illusion!
Light and Darkness!
The Six Forms of Creation and Destruction of the Two Elements of Creation Formation had finally been completed!
As the Six Forms were realized, they formed a perfect new world. Within the void space in the universe, the immense powers of the boundaries surged and caused friction with the boundaries of the original Greater World. The edges of the two worlds were twisting.
"As huge transformations occurred and destinies were created, no formation can define it anymore." The Drum Fairy was shocked and infused with the Formation Bursting Drum actual body beside him.
The big drum in void space resonated. Every time it sounded, it was due to the surge that came from the drum, creating a vast radiance. Within the radiance, thousands of talismanic words surfaced and created streaks of radiances. They surrounded the world created by the Two Elements of Creation Formation.
The countless streaks of radiances resembled a long river. Within the river, talismans surfaced.
These radiances were like chains too. They wrapped around the Two Elements of Creation Formation and threatened to restrain it.
Lin Feng looked at the radiances surrounding the Two Elements of Creation Formation and conjured a spell immediately, "Two Elements of Creation Formation, Six Forms Three Spells, Polar Reversal, Open!"
In the Six Forms of Creation and Destruction, the Six Forms were gathered. The Two Elements of Creation Formation underwent a transformation in its powers. This new power was only able to be created from the combination of 12 stabilizing magic treasures, allowing the strength of the Two Elements of Creation Formation to reach a new high.
In the first spell of the three spells of the new abhijna, the polar reversal was initiated. The mysterious power broke apart the countless flowing radiances from the Formation Bursting Drum.
The new world created by the formation experienced dramatic changes. The Heavens were filled with chaos, life was resurrected, Yin and Yang were reversed, falsehood became the truth, light and darkness were reversed…the entire world summoned a tremendous power that revealed a sense of reversal.
This tremendous force even influenced the Greater World. The void space broke and became nothingness.
The Formation Bursting Drum seemed to have entered a whirlpool and was about to be torn apart by the huge force.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The drum sounds became faster and faster and soon they were connected to one another. Radiances and clouds surged and they resisted the frightening strength of the whirlpool.
Although the Formation Bursting Drum was not defeated, it was pushed to this defensive state by a formation, which was an irony. Everyone who saw this was shocked.
And on the other side, a young man in green with average looks appeared in front of Lin Feng. It was Xin Longsheng!
From when Lin Feng received Xin Longsheng's attack to his initiation of the Holy Light of Creation to his victory over the Void Yin-Yang Clock to his snatching of the Natural Light Celestial Robe, only a short period of time had passed.
And as he was destroying the original soul of the Natural Light Celestial Robe and threw the robe into the Two Elements of Creation Formation, Xin Longsheng had already came before him.
As the two of them looked at each other, they did not speak. They lifted their hands together and two streaks of sword aura, one grey and one white, came colliding with each other again!

Chapter 592: When the Saintly Celestial Sword is Out, Destiny is Threatened!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The two strongest arts of swordplay in the world collided once again, causing mass destruction in the luminaries.
Their arts of swordplay were merciless in killing. They were naturally very ferocious. As Lin Feng and Xin Longsheng clashed, any slip-ups would lead to either one of them being killed.
Xin Longsheng stepped on void space and he held an ordinary green bronze long sword. The tip of the sword was pointing towards Lin Feng and it shook a little.
The white Saintly Celestial Sword Qi shrunk and consolidated in an instant. It gathered at the tip of the sword, converting into a bright white light.
Among the pitch-black stars in the sky, that white spot was like a permanent star that was very eye-catching.
In the next moment, the sword radiance rushed towards Lin Feng. It was as if the river of stars were flowing down.
Lin Feng did not waste time and unleashed the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi. It was greyish and murdered all life. It was a frightening Sword Qi that destructed destiny. As it consolidated to form a line, it developed a river-splitting stance and slashed towards the white river of sword radiance.
Xin Longsheng held the sword with his right hand. He used his left hand to conjure a sword spell.
The white Saintly Celestial Sword Qi condensed to form streaks and streaks of white spiritual runes. They were no ordinary runes, but they were sword runes conjured up by the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi.
As Xin Longsheng gestured, he used the countless sword runes to flood the entire void space. The movements of the sword runes instilled fear to those who watched.
These sword runes formed their own patterns. 49, 72, 81, 108 and other different numbers separately created formation stances.
These sword formations remained in the cosmos. They were not of equal size and they were of weird patterns. But the common point was that they were mysterious and exquisite. At the same time, they evoked a merciless killing intent!
The thousands of formations made it seem like the skies were filled with stars. They converted to form the cosmos that were made of sword runes and sword formations.
Eventually, these formations gathered together and converted into a light ball. As the light ball appeared, there was no practical movement. The surrounding void space was crushed at this point.
"You are indeed a strong sword cultivator." Lin Feng commented. Xin Longsheng was not careless. He did his job cleanly. After testing the three swords, he revealed the fruit of his way of the virtual entity. He wanted to battle Lin Feng with all his might.
Xin Longsheng looked at Lin Feng calmly. He held the long sword in his hand and the fruit of his Saintly Celestial Swordplay started to shine with a bright radiance. It stabbed towards Lin Feng. With this stab, thousands of sword runes were created and destroyed and thousands of changes happened in the sword formations, causing a tremendous force that shook the Heavens and Earth.
Lin Feng did not move. A figure appeared in front of him suddenly. There was a young lady with a sword casket behind her. She held a long sword that had a blade that was one-third rusty. She faced the frightening sword radiance expressionlessly.
Xuan Li's half-black and half-white long hair flowed freely. Her black pupils started to turn crimson red suddenly.
As the Heaven-Destroying Sword was lifted above the head, the clear radiance shook void space. In the next moment, within the terrifying clear radiance, a streak of bright red radiance was revealed gradually!
Xuan Li held the Heaven-Destroying Sword and slashed it, causing the clear light to expand and there was a subtle amount of blood-red radiance that dominated.
As the clear light expanded till its limits, it was quickly retracted. But the blood-red radiance became more and more prosperous. As it flashed, it cut off Xin Longsheng's sword radiance!
As Xin Longsheng witnessed that blood-red radiance, his gaze flashed. He summoned the fruit of the Saintly Celestial Swordplay and streaks and streaks of bright white radiance flashed across the horizon.
But as it faced this blood-red radiance of the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi, it seemed ordinary. As such a magical weapon appeared, all the sword radiances were cut off one by one.
As Xuan Li grabbed onto the Heaven-Destroying Sword, the head of the sword caused the blood-red radiance to draw a mysterious arc in the horizon. It left a bright red mark in the pitch-black cosmos, as if it was a heavenly scar.
The bright-red sword radiance transcended boundless space and slashed towards the fruit of the Saintly Celestial Swordplay of Xin Longsheng.
Xing Longsheng became very serious. He used his long sword to stab into the fruit of the Saintly Celestial Swordplay. The mysterious and immense powers of the fruit of the Saintly Celestial Swordplay consolidated into the body of the sword. The sword formations were then carved onto the golden sword blade.
As Xin Longsheng drew his long sword, the ordinary green bronze sword had converted into a bright, shining sword.
As Xin Longsheng grabbed onto this sword, he slashed across void space, accurately blocking the route of the blood-red Heaven-Destroying Sword radiance.
As the two parties collided, a bright light shone across the universe, engulfing the entire void space.
The blood-red sword radiance was crushed, while the long sword in Xin Longsheng's hand was also destroyed. It no longer existed.
As he stared at the dissipated blood-red radiance, Wu Qingrou's head did not even turn, "Your Majesty, can the Immortal Dragon City resist this sword?"
"Of course it can, but it has to motivate the eternal radiance." Shi Yu was also looking at the blood-red Heaven-Destroying Sword radiance, "With the current state of this sword, even with the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders using it personally, the Immortal Dragon City can also resist it."
The so-called current state referred to the one-third part of the Heaven-Destroying Sword blade that had not been grinded.
Shi Yu was fixated on the Heaven-Destroying Sword in the hands of Xuan Li. After colliding with the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi, the rusty part of the sword blade had slowly disappeared!
Many of the Immortal Soul Stage Elders noticed this point and they understood the meaning within. All of them remained silent.
On the other side, Lin Feng was also working. As Xuan Li challenged Xin Longsheng, he turned his attention towards the Xuan Lin Holy Man.
As the black and white radiance flashed, Lin Feng had already come before the Xuan Lin Holy Man. The frightening radiance shook the universe.
The Xuan Lin Holy Man unleashed the fruits of the Heavenly Destruction. The frightening force expanded and caused the entire void space to descend into a state of chaos turbulence.
Lin Feng stabbed using the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi and destroyed the chaos. The Xuan Lin Holy Man ascended the stone stairs into the Heavens.
The stone stairs flashed with a white radiance. The white radiance was quickly converted into balls of clouds in void space.
Lin Feng came into contact with the white clouds and discovered the difference of it. As he looked up, he saw the Xuan Lin Holy Man at the peak of the stairs.
For those at the bottom of the stairs who want to attack those at the top of the stairs, their mana would be quickly dissipated. If they had 100 percent of their abilities at the start, attacking the top of the stairs would reduce it by half.
The Xuan Lin Holy Man was at the top of the stairs. As he clasped his palms, the white clouds converted into golden color. From within it, roaring thunder noises were heard.
Great Void Five Transformations Heaven, Hundred Day Cloud Dragon Royal Thunder Spell!
Along with the powers of the fruit of his Heavenly Destruction, the golden thunder cloud started to rage with thunder and lightning. It was as if the apocalypse was near.
Those at the top of the stairs that attacked those at the bottom had their powers increased!
As Lin Feng witnessed this scene, he prepared both his hands to retaliate. He used the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi with his right hand to slash the golden thunder clouds. Whereas he pressed the thumb of his left hand towards his palm. His other four fingers spread wide apart and the four images of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind were unleashed from each of his fingertips.
Following that, the four images stabilized and supported the world again. A bubble appeared and burst. Two types of gases, one clear and one turbid, were released, splitting the Heavens and Earth.
The thumb on his left hand opened and the five fingers conjured a miraculous mana print. The mighty stature of opening the Heavens and Earth rushed towards the stone stairs and grabbed it.
Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra was unleashed, demonstrating the Original Heaven Splitting Great Hand Print.
Lin Feng did not bother with the Xuan Lin Holy Man and grabbed the body of the stairs. As he used strength, he almost caused the Xuan Lin Holy Man to fall over.
The expression of the Xuan Lin Holy Man changed. He summoned his tremendous powers and stabilized the stone stairs. This prevented Lin Feng from shaking it.
The powerful abhijna of the Great Void Sect was unleashed and attacked Lin Feng at the bottom of it. Lin Feng used his left hand to grab tightly onto the stairs. As his right hand swung, streaks and streaks of mana collided with the Xuan Lin Holy Man, causing the Holy Man to shake unsteadily.
After his Natural Light Celestial Robe was stolen by Lin Feng, Kuang Heng was still very composed. His expression did not seem to change. But as he saw Lin Feng grabbing hold of the stairs, his expression changed slightly.
"Release it!" Kuang Heng placed his hands in front of his chest and conjured a spell. Six different colored light rings appeared before him.
The colors of each of the light rings were different. The images in each of the light rings were also different, as if they were six independent small worlds. The strength of these six small worlds were added onto Kuang Heng's body, causing him to surge with holy light.
Great Void Seven Transformations Heaven, Heavenly Six World Holy Ritual.
As the powers of the six worlds supplemented Kuang Heng, they caused Kuang Heng's body to expand. He converted into a giant. As he stepped forward, he came before Lin Feng and slapped down on him. The brutal aura caused the Holy Light of Creation around Lin Feng to become unstable.
Lin Feng focused his vision and the holy light around him settled down, before exploding out more ferociously in the next moment.
Within the radiance, countless light figures became real entities. They sung together and an earth-shaking chorus resonated. It combined with the radiance and caused Kuang Heng to be pushed backwards.
Within the chorus and radiance, it was as if a supreme lord that supported the Heavens and Earth and controlled the destinies of life and death had been born.
Lin Feng was covered by countless holy clouds. His left hand jerked violently and caused the stone stairs to collapse.
After settling the stone stairs, the surrounding holy light of Lin Feng became dimmer and the chorus became softer.
He did not pursue Kuang Heng or the Xuan Lin Holy Man, but he collapsed beside Xuan Li.
On the other side, Xin Longsheng was left empty-handed. He looked at Lin Feng and Xuan Li calmly and the surrounding Saintly Celestial Sword Qi became more and more prosperous.
What was even more terrifying was that behind Xin Longsheng, a dim sword radiance flashed in void space.
That sword radiance might not seem eye-catching, and it even seemed very dim and weak. But from it, a frightening aura was released.
As compared to the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi, it released an even more frightening aura!
A long sword that was entirely pure white like a jade extended from Xin Longsheng's back in void space. It only revealed its hilt, but it was terrifying enough.
As he faced this sword, Lin Feng felt as if he was really facing another Grand Celestial World.
It was not a replica of the powers or the transformation of an abhijna. It was a true destiny on its own.
"Saintly Celestial Sword!" Lin Feng sucked in his breath and looked as Xin Longsheng grabbed hold onto that sword and drew it out.
Wherever the sword head faced, there was upheaval and the Grand Celestial World shook.
It was the Saintly Celestial Sword, the magic treasure in the destiny realm from Mount Shu!
Among all the magic treasures in the destiny realm within the Grand Celestial World, it was the most outstanding in terms of offensive killing.
Lin Feng faced the Immortal Dragon City now. As the Immortal Dragon City was fully cultivated, he no longer attacked it continuously. The Immortal Dragon City was just a defense and it did nothing else. Only till now did Lin Feng faced the true might of a magic treasure in the destiny realm.
It was a magic treasure that was created to help humans resist any major disasters.
Xin Longsheng held this sword and did not seem as free as before. As he held the sword, it was as if he was bearing the weight of an entire world.
Wherever the sword head pointed, the entire spiritual energy of the universe, void space and Greater World gathered towards it. The boundless spiritual energy was converted into a formless sword radiance and pointed towards Lin Feng.
Although Lin Feng could not see that formless sword radiance, he could feel the frightening power that existed.

Chapter 593: Fitting Mount Yujing in the Immortal Soul!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Within the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, the Celestial Sword Elder, Flying Snow Swordmaster, Supreme Radiance Swordmaster, Sun Radiance Swordmaster, Starry Swordmaster and the rest were trembling as they watched the long white jade sword from afar.
In front of the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster, an elder with white hair and who was decked in ancient clothing appeared. He was not a real entity, but formed from a light figure. It was the sword spirit of the Instant Sword of Radiance.
At the same time, a few other sword spirits appeared in front of the Celestial Sword Elder and the rest. They were all the original souls of their sword treasure that were in the metaplasia realm.
There were also sword treasures in the gestation realm. Although the original soul could not be revealed, the swords were drawn out automatically and floated in space.
The rest of the sword cultivators below the Immortal Soul Stage all drew their swords and hung in space.
The bunch of sword spirits looked very serious and they bowed towards the long white jade sword in the boundless space.
The swords that were drawn automatically were also kowtowing towards the long sword. For the swords that were not magic treasures, they all landed on the ground and vibrated while stuck on the ground.
As the Saintly Celestial Sword was drawn, all the other swords had to obey!
Even the Celestial Sword Elder, Supreme Radiance Swordmaster, Sun Radiance Swordmaster and the bunch of Immortal Soul Stage sword cultivators could not help but bow down to the long white jade sword.
For those sword cultivators below the Immortal Soul Stage, they went on their knees and kowtowed.
No one would laugh at them. Everyone were shocked as they witnessed the Saintly Celestial Sword.
The power concept within made those at the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land feel as if they were in an ocean of sword aura. They felt threatened by the frightening sword minds all around them.
While Lin Feng felt as if the Greater World had turned into a sharp sword with a strong killer aura and it was coming straight for him.
It was as if the world had become the sword of the enemy. It was extremely terrifying. The sharp sword was coming for Lin Feng's blood.
Lin Feng extended his hand and tapped the sword casket behind Xuan Li lightly.
The expressionless Xuan Li revealed a very humane action suddenly. She gripped her lips tightly, as if she was indignant.
But she listened to Lin Feng's arrangement this time. Ever since she revealed herself, she was unwilling to infuse with the sword casket. But now, her blood red eyes lost their color and her long hair flowed down freely. As she took a step forward, she combined with the sword casket to form a single entity.
Lin Feng tapped the sword casket lightly again. The sword casket opened and the Heaven-Destroying Sword rose up slowly.
"Suffering!" Lin Feng grabbed hold of the Heaven-Destroying Sword. As the sword head summoned, the ferocious clear light was retracted. At the tip of the sword, a spot of bright red and sharp sword radiance gathered.
And at this point, Xin Longsheng was already attacking ferociously towards him.
The world seemed to convert into a sharp sword radiance and attacked towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took in a deep breath and waved the Heaven-Destroying Sword. A blood-red sword radiance flashed and tore the sharp sword radiance apart.
A destructive and frightening sword mind was unleashed. It was not targeted at anyone or any group of people. It treated the world as its target and wanted to destroy it.
Regardless whether there was life, as long as it existed, it had to be destroyed. This was different from the Mount Shu Sword Sect. It was different from any killer sword. It was the Heaven-Destroying Sword, the sword to destroy the world!
But as they saw Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Radiance, although they were awed by the frightening power concept, Kuang Heng, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and the rest all heaved a sigh of relief. Shi Yu sighed slightly, "It's a pity!"
It's a pity that the Heaven-Destroying Sword was not fully grinded yet.
Although the blood-red sword radiance was extremely domineering, it could not match up to the power of the entirety of sword minds in the Grand Celestial World that was summoned by the Saintly Celestial Sword.
Not only this plane of universe or the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, right now, in the entire Divine Lands, every sword was vibrating.
The sword minds of all the sword cultivators were rumbling now. They could not be repressed as they rose to the skies, gathering in the Heavens.
As Xin Longsheng held the Saintly Celestial Sword, it was as if he controlled all the swords in the world. He was like the King of Swords. As he instructed, everyone had to obey.
The only exception was the Heaven-Destroying Sword in Lin Feng's hands!
The Heaven-Destroying Sword was like a rebel, stubbornly resisting the Saintly Celestial Sword. It was unafraid and ignored the might of the King. Right now, it was the target of everyone.
It claimed the name as a rogue rebel to itself.
Under the attack of the sword minds of the world, Lin Feng and the Heaven-Destroying Sword were like lone boats. As they floated on the seas, they were in trouble of being overwhelmed by the waves.
Ever since Xin Longsheng revealed himself, he did not mutter a word. Right now, he looked very calm. As he stared at Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword, he conjured a spell with his left hand. The sword mind of the Saintly Celestial Sword in his right hand became more and more prosperous, almost causing an upheaval in this world.
Lin Feng looked at the Heaven-Destroying Sword in his hand and saw that the rusty part of the blade was slowly disappearing under the attack of the Saintly Celestial Sword 's sword mind.
But the speed seemed to have slowed down. Under such a precarious environment, it did not seem to be an appropriate time.
"Forget it, just settle the more pressing matter first." Lin Feng smiled.
The Immortal Soul Stage realm was much different than the realms below it. The First, Second and Third Level in the Immortal Soul Stage was different from the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage or the Aurous Core Stage.
Strictly speaking, the gaps between the cultivation of avatar, cultivation of virtual entity and way of the virtual entity were equivalent to the gaps between the Foundation Establishment, Aurous Core and Nascent Soul Stage.
The difference in abilities was not that frightening, but they were not far off either.
Even so, if everyone fought without any weapons, Lin Feng could challenge Xin Longsheng even though he was only in the Immortal Soul First Level and Xin Longsheng was in the Immortal Soul Second Level.
But as the Saintly Celestial Sword appeared, the situation was different. The Heaven-Destroying Sword was not fully sharpened. Furthermore, Kuang Heng and the rest were ready to pounce.
Lin Feng slapped his head and a streak of clear light was released, filling the cosmos.
As the clear light flashed, no one could see the image within. But there was a huge Taiji Diagram that appeared. It was extremely vast and boundless. It resembled a universe on its own.
As black and white intersected, they spun continuously and acted out the mysteries of destiny.
And above the Taiji Diagram, Purple Clouds were summoned to form vast seas of clouds. Within the seas of clouds, Mount Baiyun was standing there. The treasure tree on the peak of the mountain released a rainbow radiance.
Countless squalls and rumbling thunder clouds were climbing the foot of Mount Baiyun. They had become the stairs of it. They protected the mountain!
In the next moment, as the Purple Clouds rumbled, Mount Yujing descended gradually and it sank into the Taiji Diagram.
The Taiji Diagram spun slowly and followed the clear light into Lin Feng's forehead.
In Lin Feng's eyes, a vigorous purple light spurted out.
"Boom!"
Amidst a roar, Lin Feng's body expanded rapidly. His size became extremely huge suddenly. His height could not be estimated and it was as if he was another world on his own.
When he was in the Nascent Soul Stage, his soul fitted Mount Yujing in, almost causing him to explode. He only managed to fit in Mount Yujing nicely. His own soul became rigid and his abhijnas could not be exhibited. He could only summon the powers of the mountain forcefully.
Now that he had formed the Immortal Soul, his used his Immortal Soul Avatar to fit Mount Yujing in. But he used his own body as a guide to summon Mount Yujing's powers as his own!
He was only fitting it in now, but not cultivating it completely yet. When his cultivation was higher, he would infuse the power of the entire Mount Yujing. His powers would increase another level.
But even if he was purely fitting Mount Yujing in, the tremendous strength seemed to bestow Lin Feng the title as the controller of the universe. His body was so huge that it occupied the entire cosmos. He was like a God that split open the Heavens and Earth.
As he coughed, countless squalls appeared. As he moved his legs, tsunamis raged and mountains collapse. As his eyes opened and closed, it was like the simultaneous appearance of the Sun and Moon.
Even the Heaven-Destroying Sword in his hand had become extremely huge. As the sword radiance flashed, another river of stars seemed to have been dominated again.
"Xin Longsheng, Saintly Celestial Sword, we shall fight again." Lin Feng waved his sword calmly. This caused the entire Heavens and Earth to shake a little. It was as if it was cut open by this sword. A huge number of small luminaries were destroyed. Even a few huge luminaries were crushed too.
The Holy Light in Xin Longsheng's eyes expanded. He did not hold the Saintly Celestial Sword anymore. He used the Saintly Celestial Sword as a magic treasure and converted into a sword radiance himself, attaching to the Saintly Celestial Sword.
The Saintly Celestial Sword exuded a gentle radiance. It did not burn, but it resonated with the principles and truths of Taoism. It initiated the boundless spiritual energy in this world, converting it to a sword aura.
Lin Feng remained indifferent. As he moved the Heaven-Destroying Sword, he also summoned a huge amount of gaseous flow, which gathered at the sword head of the blood-red sword.
Wherever the gaseous flow passed, life was destructed and void space collapsed.
As they witnessed this scene, the Immortal Soul Stage Elders were shocked. Shi Yu, Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man shook at the same time, "So it's like that. This sword summons hostile gases of the Heavens and Earth and converts them to its sword head."
In the Heavens and Earth, life and death existed. Changes happened unpredictably. When spiritual energy was prosperous, life grew and prospered. But as hostile gases prospered, life was destructed and the world walked towards the end.
The hostile gases were a part of destiny, but they were also an enemy of destiny.
All cultivators guided spiritual energy into their bodies to comprehend the way of Tao. They aimed to walk towards the peak through that. No one guided hostile gases into their body, as that represented suicide.
Lin Feng did not summon the hostile gases on his own, but he used the Heaven-Destroying Sword to guide the hostile gases into becoming the sword head that destructed everything.
Wherever the Heaven-Destroying Sword pointed to, the entire place would be engulfed in a bright-red light, as if apocalypse had arrived.
The Saintly Celestial Sword released a crisp sword sound. It was prepared to face its arch-enemy.
As the two parties collided, vital energy was destroyed. Boundless radiance also expanded in all directions from the point of contact between both parties.
"To counter the Saintly Celestial Sword, its power concept must be equivalent to a magic treasure in the destiny realm. To break it, the initial preparations have to be activated."
Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man looked at each other and nodded their heads slightly. They attacked the Two Elements of Creation Formation on the other side, helping the Formation Bursting Drum to escape.

Chapter 594: Two Magic Treasures in the Destiny Realm Surround and Attack!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man attacked the Two Elements of Creation Formation together. The Formation Bursting Drum took this opportunity to escape from the formation.
In the pitch-dark universe, the Void Yin-Yang Clock re-surfaced again. The forbidden powers in void space helped to stop the Two Elements of Creation Formation.
Facing such a ferocious formation, Kuang Heng and the rest all raised their brows, "It is indeed a powerful formation like the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation."
It was only due to the fact that the Formation Bursting Drum was naturally used to curb other formations that it was able to withstand the Two Elements of Creation Formation. If it were any other magic treasures in the Mahayana realm or Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators who were stuck in this formation, they would be in a much more precarious situation.
As the Formation-Bursting Drum exited the formation, its drum sounds took a break and the drum revealed an eye-catching radiance.
At the same time, the Void Yin-Yang Clock also surged with a bright radiance.
Kuang Heng twisted his head to look at the Xuan Lin Holy Man, "You have helped the Drum Fairy." The Xuan Lin Holy Man nodded his head and clasped his palms, conjuring a spell. He sacrificed the fruit of the Heavenly Destruction, which leaped into the golden radiance surrounding the Formation Bursting Drum.
On the other side, black and white gaseous flow surrounded the Void Yin-Yang Clock and revolved around it continuously. Kuang Heng sacrificed the fruit of the Celestial Light Yin Mantra. Its body sank slowly into the black and white gaseous flow.
The Void Yin-Yang Clock was like a clock entity that was formed from the countless folding and consolidation of void space. At this moment, it kept on developing, as if it was a shrunken world regaining its former look.
That layers and layers of space rubbed with the original Greater World continuously, squeezing each other, but no heavy collision was caused.
The Yin-Yang gaseous flow converted into rumbling clouds, surrounding the edges of space. This allowed these clouds to infuse with the Greater World.
The Formation Bursting Drum converted into a streak of golden light and burst into the clouds, blending with the world created by the Void Yin-Yang Clock. That vast space that had developed seemed to be masked with a layer of gold.
In the next moment, the golden radiance blended with the developing space, forming a foundation. The ground, pillars, beams, doors, windows and others were formed, eventually forming a majestic golden pavilion.
This entire world had converted into a grand holy pavilion. With white clouds surrounding it, it descended into this plane of void space in the universe.
This pavilion was extremely huge, as if it was another world on its own. It looked bigger than the giant created from Lin Feng's Immortal Soul that fitted Mount Yujing inside it.
Lin Feng's Kun Peng pavilion cultivated half the body of the ancient Kun Peng, which was already extremely gigantic. It was only fitting for a giant to live inside it.
But now, this golden pavilion was much greater than the Kun Peng pavilion, in terms of power and size. There was no comparison to be made as the Kun Peng pavilion seemed like a small stone beside this golden pavilion.
On the surface of the pavilion, within the golden light, countless talismanic words surged, playing out the beginning of the universe, transformations of lives and the unlimited things that were inspired by them.
From the pavilion, the singing voices of countless Buddhas were heard. It was as if there was a holy nation shining upon the Grand Celestial World.
Waves and waves of immense yet mysterious power concepts surged from it. It seemed as if it came from the Saintly Celestial Sword and the Immortal Dragon City!
The aura of the magic treasure in the destiny realm!
Great Void Holy Pavilion!
It was formed from the Formation Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Clock, blending the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, Yin Yang Mantra of the Void, which were from the highest level of the Great Void mantras. Eventually, this resulted in the birth of this magic treasure in the destiny realm.
Ever since immemorial, many talents had wished to cultivate a magic treasure in the destiny realm and allow oneself to dominate the world.
But why was this kind of magic treasure so difficult to obtain?
The first Holy Emperor in the human cultivation race, Emperor Shi, started to cultivate the Immortal Dragon City when he was still alive. Even till his death, he did not cultivate it completely. After the Great Qin Empire obtained the Immortal Dragon City, astronomical figures were used to heal magic treasures that were being cultivated, something that shocked various great powers.
The magic treasures in the destiny realm that appeared in the Grand Celestial World were only created after the heavenly barriers were overcome at a certain timing and opportunity.
In fact, if the Heaven-Destroying Sword did not appear, the Immortal Dragon City might reach the destiny realm one day, but that day was unknown.
But even so, the Great Qin Empire was willing to expend all their resources. They had never wavered from their determination to cultivate the Immortal Dragon City completely.
In the Divine Lands, uncountable powerful individuals had appeared in its history. Many of them tried to combine several magic treasures in the Mahayana realm to form a magic treasure in the destiny realm.
But there had only been one successful party, which was the Great Void Sect.
The Formation Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Clock summoned the Mantra of the Great Oblivion and Yin-Yang Mantra of the Void to the fullest respectively. Any one of them had the hope of reaching the destiny realm.
As the two combined, they achieved a magic treasure in the destiny realm in a short period of time, the Great Void Holy Pavilion.
This majestic pavilion appeared in the Greater World, but it did not shake void space. On the other hand, it formed a single entity with void space, as if it wanted to make this plane of universe and its cosmos its backyard.
After combining with the Great Void Holy Pavilion, everything in void space was under the control of the Great Void Holy Pavilion. Time, Space, Light and Darkness, Yin and Yang, Life, Energy, everything was controlled by this majestic piece of magic treasure in the destiny realm.
How fast time passed, how big was the gap in space, the surge of light, silence of darkness, blending of Yin and Yang, continuation of life, birth of energy…
Everything was under the control of the Great Void Pavilion Hall. Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man sat on their knees inside the pavilion hall. They conjured spells with their hands.
Two streaks of mana, one black and one white, rose above their heads. Yin and Yang intersected and converted into a golden light again, connecting with the majestic pavilion.
The Xuan Lin Holy Man said, "I was not careful and lost the stone stairs. I must get it back."
Kuang Heng said, "We have to stabilize this thing first before we get back the stone stairs. This is to prevent him from destroying the magic treasure in his rage."
The Xuan Lin Holy Man nodded his head, "We won't give him the chance to."
"Take action. The Great Void Holy Pavilion cannot last for a long time." Kuang Heng instructed. The radiance of the Great Void Holy Pavilion became more and more blinding. Above the pavilion, the golden light quickly gathered to from a weird rune.
The weird rune filled the entire space. Its shape was very weird.
This rune transcended boundless void space, imprinting itself onto Lin Feng's huge giant figure.
In the river of stars, red and white light were clearly separated. They did not give in to each other. Every second, countless collisions occurred and spiritual energy was dissipated. At the same time, countless hostile gases were dissipated too.
Lin Feng summoned the Heaven-Destroying Sword and engaged in a close battle with Xin Longsheng's Saintly Celestial Sword. Both parties gave their all. Every collision of the swords caused the destruction of many small luminaries. As the battle ensued, it threatened the perverse the course of nature.
The attack of the Great Void Holy Pavilion was immediately noticed by Lin Feng. He raised his brows slightly and the Two Elements of Creation Formation rose. The runes were destroyed in an instant.
Kuang Heng's and the Xuan Lin Holy Man's expressions did not change. The Great Void Holy Pavilion shifted with an immense boom. Boundless holy radiance shone at the universe, repressing Lin Feng and the Two Elements of Creation Formation.
"Six Transformations Three Spells, Polar Reversal, Open!" Lin Feng read in his mind and the Two Elements of Creation Formation summoned a brutal force, threatening to cause a reversal in the two extremes of destiny.
This tremendous strength twisted the Heavens and Earth and threatened to tear apart the Grand Celestial World. It diminished the radiance released by the Great Void Holy Pavilion. Even the pavilion shook a little.
But the it didn't seem to be affected. On the other hand, it started to shift even faster. As if it was a moving castle, it crushed in the direction of Lin Feng and the Two Elements of Creation Formation.
A wave of powerful aura was released from it, as if an Immemorial God had awakened and unleashed an earth-shaking roar, causing the Grand Celestial World to tremble.
"Six Transformations Three Spells, Endless Extremes, Open!"
Following Lin Feng's call, the Two Elements of Creation Formation released a boundless radiance that shot out in all directions. This radiance converted into a shield that covered the entire Heavens and Earth, blocking the pathway of the Great Void Holy Pavilion. Two huge objects collided with each other at this point!
Amidst the boom, it sounded like two worlds had collided tremendously.
"Tsssss!"
But in that boom, an ear-piercing sound resonated. It was as if a cloth had been torn apart.
The shield created by the Two Elements of Creation Formation developed a huge crack.
"It's a pity that I have to deal with Xin Longsheng and the Saintly Celestial Sword and can only spare part of my attention to control the formation. If I put my entire powers in the formation, the result will be unknown."
Lin Feng thought of something, "Although I have 12 magic treasures and completed the Six Forms of Creation and Destruction, there is still one item that is missing."
"With this core treasure, this formation can challenge a magic treasure in the destiny realm. If I use a magic treasure in the destiny realm in this formation, the powers of this formation will be unleashed totally. Even a magic treasure in the destiny realm will not be its match."
"After this battle, I must take note of this."
Within the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, everyone who was watching the battle were captivated. The bunch of Immortal Soul Stage Elders were restless because of this.
Wu Qingrou sighed, "With such a cultivation, the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is indeed very strong. If he had a magic treasure in the destiny realm too, this battle may not see a winner."
He turned his head to look at Shi Yu, "Your Majesty, are you going to lay a move?"
"No." Shi Yu was focused on the battle, "According to my promise with the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the place where I make a move is not here."
"But, I am also curious. What will he do as he faces two magic treasures in the destiny realm?"
"Tsss! Tsss! Tsss!"
In void space, the tearing sounds kept on sounding. The Two Elements of Creation Formation was getting torn apart again and again. It was going to be decimated by the Great Void Holy Pavilion.
Lin Feng held the Heaven-Destroying Sword and attacked once more, forcing the Saintly Celestial Sword to retreat.
His thoughts switched quickly. A streak of his spirit entered his Immortal Soul and landed in the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World.
A slovenly elder was sitting under the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. In front of him, there was a chessboard and he was playing chess alone.
The elder's hair was very messy, as if it was a nest. His clothes were also torn and tattered, as well as unkempt.
But he did not seem to feel it on his body. All his attention was placed on the chessboard.
A ball of Purple Clouds landed in front of him, consolidating to form the light figure of a youth in purple. It was Lin Feng's appearance.
Lin Feng's figure did not speak and walked towards the chessboard. After that, it sat on its knees.

Chapter 595: Power-Destroying Game, Destruction of the Heavens and Earth!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Lin Feng sat in front of the chessboard and looked at the slovenly elder.
The elder did not bother about Lin Feng and kept his focus on the chessboard. It was as if he was pondering over his next chess move. But it also seemed as if he was in a daze.
The situation on the chessboard kept on changing. But it was not caused by the black and white chess pieces.
In the previous moment, the chessboard was filled with chess pieces and the situation was very messy.
In the next moment, the entire chessboard was clean of chess pieces. There were only a few of them left. It was a new game of chess.
Lin Feng picked up a black chess piece.
As the chess piece left the chessboard, in that instant, a weird force appeared. Lin Feng felt a whirlpool appearing in front of him and was spinning rapidly, threatening to suck him in.
He had a similar experience before. During that time, he was trying to find Xiao Yan and Shi Tianhao. Lin Feng did not resist the suction force and allowed the other party to suck him in.
But this time, Lin Feng would not let himself be exploited. He sat firmly and did not move
And the suction force of the chessboard became stronger and stronger. Lin Feng did not resist it forcefully, but placed the black chess piece back on the chessboard. But it was just that the position of that chess piece had changed.
The suction force disappeared. At the same time, the slovenly elder placed a chess piece on the chessboard. However, it was the same as Lin Feng, as he placed a black chess piece.
His gaze was as usual, as if he treated Lin Feng as transparent.
Lin Feng did not stop. This time, he grabbed a white chess piece and laid it down in another position.
The slovenly elder followed him and placed a white chess piece.
Lin Feng continued to grab chess pieces from the chessboard. This time, he took a black chess piece. After positioning it, the slovenly elder did the same thing too.
The actions of the both of them were rapid. As the black and white chess pieces were placed on the chessboard, a game of chess was in progress.
Lin Feng was plotting right from the start. He did not go for the kill right from the start. Halfway through, he grabbed a white chess piece suddenly and shifted its position, blocking off a black chess piece.
Before the slovenly elder could react, Lin Feng took away the black chess piece that was eliminated.
As he lifted it up, a different change occurred.
The finger of Lin Feng that was holding the chess piece quickly rotted. The flesh and bone was converted into sand instantly before the sand converted to ash. And that ash quickly became nothing in a short period of time, as if it never existed in this world.
The figure of Lin Feng in the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World was not his true physical self, but a void entity projected by his spiritual powers.
But as he lifted the black chess piece, the unreal flesh and blood of his projected entity became nothing.
His abhijna and powers, spiritual energy and awareness were all useless. In an instant, he became weak and lost his life power. After that, he collapsed and converted to nothingness.
Form, Substance, Life, Spirit all did not matter at this point.
There was only one result. That was collapse and followed by destruction.
Lin Feng could feel that if his actual body was there to pick up the black chess piece, his life, powers, spiritual energy, mantras and everything else would collapse and become nothing.
As he lifted the black chess piece, Lin Feng had a feeling. It was a clarity and intensity that he had never felt before.
That was fear.
It was as if he was facing the most frightening existence in the world.
Lin Feng's expression was calm. Although this was his first time making a move, he had expected the difficulties he would face and thus did not panic.
The right hand of this projected entity of his disappeared. The black chess piece slid off from that hand and dropped down.
The black chess piece had left Lin Feng's right hand, but Lin Feng could not use his powers to create a new right hand.
Even though the hand was created from his supernatural powers. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not re-create it. Its existence had been wiped out completed. In the past, currently and in the future, it ceased to exist.
Lin Feng nodded his head and dissipated this projected entity. After that, he used his supernatural powers to create a second entity.
As he looked at his new right hand, Lin Feng knew that if that was the action of his actual body, one of his hand would be long gone.
After understanding the frightening point of this chess game, Lin Feng laughed.
Lin Feng summoned the Sky-Shielding Umbrella and it was opened up.
In his battle against Xin Longsheng, Kuang Heng and the rest, Lin Feng had not used his Sky-Shielding Umbrella. That was because if he opened up the umbrella, he could not attack the opponent either.
But in this battle, the Sky-Shielding Umbrella played an important role in Lin Feng's plans. It was his last trump card. More accurately speaking, it was a necessary item needed to assist the last trump card.
Lin Feng held the Sky-Shielding Umbrella with his right hand and he used his left hand to continue the game with the slovenly elder.
A set of new chess pieces were on the chessboard again. Lin Feng lifted up a chess piece this time, but his left hand was fine. But his right hand sank suddenly!
Lin Feng did not have to lift his head to know that a moldy image had appeared on the Sky-Shielding Umbrella.
"First step is a success!" Lin Feng revealed a smile on his face. Although the Sky-Shielding Umbrella had its flaws, there was no picking on its defensive abilities.
When Lin Feng was in the Nascent Soul Stage, although the defensive abilities of this umbrella were shocking, it did not fully unleash its powers.
Ever since Lin Feng formed the Immortal Soul, he had never used the Sky-Shielding Umbrella again. It was only today that it appeared again.
Even the frightening powers of the chess pieces could not destroy the umbrella.
Lin Feng took in deep breath and started to plot his second move. He lifted his left hand and slapped that chess piece into his eyebrow.
In the next moment, Lin Feng folded the Sky-Shielding Umbrella.
As he folded the umbrella, the projected entity of Lin Feng started to decay, weaken, collapse and eventually walk towards destruction!
But before the umbrella was fully folded, it helped Lin Feng to burden a part of the frightening powers of the chess piece. This allowed Lin Feng's entity to survive longer.
Lin Feng grabbed hold of that instant and the entity summoned its powers just before it weakened. Using the Flash of Intention, it sent the powers of the chess piece out of the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World rapidly!
In that same instant, the gaze of Lin Feng's actual body flashed. As he held the Heaven-Destroying Sword with one hand, he used the other hand to point at this opponent!
A streak of black gas was shot out of Lin Feng's finger and landed on the Saintly Celestial Sword.
The Saintly Celestial Sword started to shake vigorously. Xin Longsheng also felt an extremely strange feeling in his head.
Frightening!
A boundless terror!
This terror was recognized by Xin Longsheng. His face turned ghastly instantaneously.
As the Saintly Celestial Sword was dyed by that streak of black gas, the sword mind that gathered the spiritual energy of the Heavens and Earth started to collapse. It was as if the entire Heavens and Earth was starting to weaken and welcome doomsday. There was no reversal as it walked towards destruction.
That streak of black gas was seen clearly by Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man. The expression of the both of them changed at the same time. They shouted at the same time too, "Power-Destroying Catastrophe, Destruction of the Heavens and Earth!"
It was not a simulation of powers or evolution of abhijnas. It was a true power-destroying catastrophe and destruction of the Heavens and Earth.
Between life and death, there was huge terror. For those without the Immortal Soul, they could not avoid death.
As the Immortal Soul was formed, one's longevity followed the Heavens and Earth. Naturally, his life was limitless. If the Heavens and Earth did not destruct, then he would not die.
But what if the Heavens and Earth were destroyed?
When the Heavens and Earth destructed, it was beyond life and death. What was more terrifying was that the person who lived with the Heavens and Earth would die along with the Heavens and Earth.
Destiny was the recycling of life and death. As one destiny started, developed and failed eventually, everything would restart. Life would begin from nothingness again.
Powerful cultivators cultivated magic treasures in the destiny realm to help themselves resist destruction of the Heavens and Earth. From there, they could dominate for generations and eras. They could overcome catastrophes of ending spells and walked towards new life, towards the next form of destiny.
The goal was majestic and beautiful. But only through experience could one guarantee that a magic treasure in the destiny realm could resist the destruction of the Heavens and Earth.
The Saintly Celestial Sword experienced that at this moment.
The Saintly Celestial Sword unleashed a shocking power, destroying that black gas and was not destroyed.
But on the tip of the sword, there was a dirty mark that released a pungent smell.
With the Saintly Celestial Sword's protection, Xin Longsheng was fine. But his face turned green, "Five Decays of Heaven and Man!"
Rumors said that before the real destruction of the Heavens and Earth arrived, all life, spiritual energy, substance, powers and everything else that was birthed from the world's destiny would follow the world in experiencing the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.
After this power-destroying catastrophe, the world would decay like the rest of matter. After that, they would destruct eventually.
Not only Xin Longsheng, Kuang Heng, Xuan Lin Holy Man, Shi Yu and the rest of the Immortal Soul Stage Elders were shocked as they looked at Lin Feng in void space.
Lin Feng remained indifferent and another spiritual projection of his entered the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World.
In the next moment, the second streak of black gas was shot out. This time, the target was the Great Void Holy Pavilion.
"Retreat quickly!" Kuang Heng shouted. He and the Xuan Lin Holy Man summoned the Great Void Holy Man and were ready to retreat. But the speed of the black gas was too quick, and it landed on the golden pavilion.
The singing voices from the Great Void Pavilion rose extremely high and boundless radiance and talismanic words surged. They resisted the power-destroying catastrophe of the black gas together.
Everything happened almost in an instant. The white clouds surrounding the pavilion disappeared and the golden light became dimmer. Above the pavilion, a piece of decayed area was discovered. It was dirty and released a pungent smell.
That area seemed to have gone through a lot. It was now extremely decayed.
Xin Longsheng, Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man looked depressed. Although the Saintly Celestial Sword and the Great Void Sect resisted Lin Feng's black gas, no one knew if there's more to come.
Power-destroying catastrophe, destruction of the Heavens and Earth was a long process naturally. It was so long that it led to desolation.
Lin Feng watched this scene quietly and thought, "There are good and bad times. The Heavens and Earth will have times where they lasted. The Five Decays of Heaven and Man causes all matter to walk towards destructed."
"This chess game can be called the power-destroying game."

Chapter 596: Invincible!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
As they faced the power-destroying catastrophe, the magic treasures in the destiny realm revealed their relative superiority.
As compared to the Saintly Celestial Sword, the Great Void Pavilion was slightly weaker in its foundation.
When they faced the power-destroying catastrophe, these two treasures would be damaged till a similar extent. But the Saintly Celestial Sword was a treasure used for killing. As for its defensive abilities, it was slightly weaker.
After the sword mind of the Saintly Celestial Sword was attacked by the power-destroying catastrophe, it could still overcome obstacles and continued to inch forward to attack Lin Feng. But as Lin Feng slashed his Heaven-Destroying Sword, it was destroyed.
Lin Feng remained indifferent and a third entity landed in the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World.
The Sky-Shielding Umbrella opened once more and Lin Feng played another game with the slovenly elder. He lifted a chess piece and another area of the Sky-Shielding Umbrella became moldy.
There were already three areas on the Sky-Shielding Umbrella that had already molded. The surface area they covered was very huge, almost half of the umbrella.
Lifting chess pieces continuously in a short period of time would cause the Sky-Shielding Umbrella to collapse under the burden.
The Saintly Celestial Sword and the Great Void Holy Pavilion were unable to withstand the continuous attack of the power-destroying catastrophe. The Sky-Shielding Umbrella was unable to do so too.
Lin Feng tried to lift the white chess piece, but after the white chess piece was surrounded and killed by the black chess pieces, it disappeared from the chessboard automatically.
As he thought of the weird world within the chessboard, before looking at the slovenly elder with his same expression, Lin Feng thought, "This power-destroying game still has a lot of secrets and mysteries for me to uncover."
"However, it is sufficient with just the black chess pieces alone."
Lin Feng was confident. He released a third streak of black gas and its target was the Great Void Holy Pavilion!
The Great Void Holy Pavilion started to shine with golden light and converted into a sea of golden light. Within the golden light, white clouds kept on rumbling.
The majestic pavilion stripped off its original appearance and converted into a world of its own. From the outside, it looked like a huge golden embryo that was surrounded by white clouds.
Within this world, countless of figures flashed. It was as if there were thousands of Buddhas which revealed their true appearances.
Singing voices resonated through the entire universe and the Great Void Holy Pavilion unleashed its powers to the extreme, converting into a holy paradise, as if a holy nation had descended into the mortal world.
Great Void Holy Paradise!
A frightening black gas descended on the top of the Great Void Holy Paradise. At the same time, countless destinies and the miraculous holy paradise walked towards destruction.
As the Great Tao weakened, the Heavens and Earth started to collapse. Life started to become extinct and half of the golden paradise was dyed black. After that, it was converted into ash. Eventually, that ash became nothingness and ceased to exist.
But after experiencing the initial catastrophe, within the Great Void Holy Paradise, the singing voices continued. Limitless Taoist scriptures re-surfaced again and converted into beams of flowing radiance. Each of these flowing radiances were formed from countless talismans and formations.
These flowing radiances mended the Great Void Holy Paradise and tried to remove the negative influences brought about by the power-destroying catastrophe.
But at this time, a huge figure appeared outside of the Great Void Holy Paradise, watching as it battled the power-destroying catastrophe.
"Kuang Heng, there's one sentence you said that's right."
Lin Feng's voice resonated. It was as if there was the presence of countless truths of Great Tao that reached a consensus, releasing a soothing and miraculous voice.
"No matter how big something is, as long as it's not a true entity, it must depend on a supernatural connection. Therefore, just by destroying this connection will do."
As he said, Lin Feng lifted the Heaven-Destroying Sword. In the next moment, the Heaven-Destroying Sword slashed down and a bright red light flashed. The immense power concept of the Heaven-Destroying Sword expanded and contained a hint of the destruction of the Heavens and Earth within.
A streak of bright red sword radiance caused the Heavens and Earth to tear apart, as if a scar was inflicted on the universe. Its target was the Great Void Holy Paradise of the Great Void Sect.
The bright-red sword radiance was already very frightening. At this point, at the edge of the sword radiance, there was even the flashing of black and white light. Alongside the Heaven-Destroying Sword was Lin Feng's own Holy Light of Creation!
The Great Void Holy Pavilion had already expended all its energy to contain the power-destroying catastrophe. Right now, it could only watch as the heaven-slaying sword landed on the golden paradise.
The golden light dissipated and spread in all directions in the universe. It was as if a meteor rain had descended from the catastrophe.
The Great Void Holy Paradise was destroyed through the alliance of the power-destroying catastrophe and Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword.
The Formation Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Clock re-appeared in void space. Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man also revealed themselves. They were shocked as they stared at Lin Feng.
"Let's go!" The Formation Bursting Drum and Void Yin-Yang Clock said, before they retreated without hesitation.
If the both of them were unable to cultivate the Great Void Holy Pavilion together, then it would be a disaster as they faced the power-destroying catastrophe.
Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man turned pale as a sheet. The both of them sighed and retreated alongside the Formation Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang clock.
Xin Longsheng stared at Lin Feng and remained silent.
The Saintly Celestial Sword did not have the flaws that the Great Void Holy Pavilion possessed. But as it faced the power-destroying catastrophe and Lin Feng's attack, there was no good that could come out from it. After the Great Void Sect left, there's no point for the Mount Shu Sword Sect to remain.
Especially when the dirt mark on the Saintly Celestial Sword had caused a huge damage to the destiny of the Saintly Celestial Sword.
Xin Longsheng summoned the sword decisively and retreated.
"You are leaving?" Lin Feng roared. He took a step forward and lifted the Heaven-Destroying Sword up high. The black and white holy light filled the skies.
The pores on his body trembled a little and boundless vital energy was released from them, converting into an aura sea.
These vital energies expanded and filled the entire Heavens and Earth.
As Lin Feng's sword stabbed, the aura sea raged. A streak of blood-red sword radiance was shot out instantly and tore the skies.
Kuang Heng, the Xuan Lin Holy Man, the Formation Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Clock banded together to block off this sword. Void space vibrated like ripples, and it also seemed like a cloth that had been rolled into a ball.
Kuang Heng's fruit of the Celestial Light Yin Mantra converted into a river of time, causing all matter to decay, delaying the Heaven-Destroying Sword radiance.
The Xuan Lin Holy Man's fruit of the Heavenly Destruction exploded and a ferocious force destroyed void space. It was ready to receive the attack from the sword.
The Formation Bursting Drum sounded and converted into waves of golden shockwaves, as if an ocean wave had swept the entire universe.
The Void Yin-Yang Clock revealed black and white streaks of its powers, causing layers and layers of time to shrink. As if it converted into dust, it carried the other three along with it and retreated rapidly. It transcended space and disappeared.
Lin Feng raised his sword for the second time.
Mount Yujing, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and the Purple Clouds shook violently.
Lin Feng's pores started to jump. Within each pore, a ball of light shone.
From each ball of light, a vigorous force was unleashed, as if a supreme lord had been born. This brought about a shocking scene.
The second streak of blood-red radiance shot out, crushing boundless space. It caught up with the Void Yin-Yang Clock.
As the blood radiance flashed, the Void Yin-Yang Clock and Formation Bursting Drum both surfaced a bright red mark on their bodies. Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man both groaned and a stab mark appeared on their left and right shoulders.
"Xin Longsheng, since you want to find trouble with me, why are you leaving so soon?"
As Lin Feng pointed with his finger, the fourth streak of black gas was released, stopping the Saintly Celestial Sword.
As the Saintly Celestial Sword resisted the power-destroying catastrophe, Lin Feng raised his sword again.
The black and white Holy Light shone and the singing voices resonated. Under the support of the black and light Holy Light, a third streak of the Heaven-Destroying Sword radiance was shot out!
The blood-red radiance landed heavily on the Saintly Celestial Sword and a bright radiance was exploded out. It was blinding.
Xin Longsheng groaned and he was pushed away from the Saintly Celestial Sword by the impact of the collision.
In the universe, at one point, only the sword radiance of the Heaven-Destroying Sword remained. It was alongside the huge figure of Lin Feng.
Within the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, everyone was silent and could not speak.
The Celestial Sword Elder, Supreme Radiance Swordmaster, Flying Snow Swordmaster, Sun Radiance Swordmaster, Starry Swordmaster as well as the rest who joined the gathering at Heavenly Cart Peak were all at a loss.
This bunch of Immortal Soul Stage Elders were all shocked and could not hold their nerves like Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. Many thoughts appeared in their minds, but they were very messy.
During the gathering at Heavenly Cart Peak, the battle that ensued was nothing compared to the battle that they were witnessing now.
Three Immortal Soul Stage Elders, and almost two magic treasures in the destiny realm, were unable to defeat Lin Feng!
What was more frightening was that Lin Feng could summon the power-destroying catastrophe to attack, which left everyone fearful.
That was right, it was fear!
The power that caused the Immortal Soul Stage Elders to be fearful came from the terror of the destruction of the Heavens and Earth.
Even Shi Yu was speechless at this point.
Everyone looked at the void space in the universe at this point and Kuang Heng as well as the rest, "The Great Void Sect will not leave it at this."
As this thought arose in their minds, a crack appeared in void space. A streak of white clouds burst out and filled the universe, dragging Kuang Heng and the rest.
It was Kuang Heng's master, the Zheng Yi Holy Man!
The leader of the radical faction in the Great Void Sect!
"No one's help will be useful!"
Lin Feng looked at void space and a cold glare flashed across his eyes. The fifth streak of the power-destroying catastrophe was released, which was followed by another sword radiance!
The black gas was in front while the blood-red radiance was behind. The radiance converted into a destructive bow and pierced through the universe!
The white clouds gathered quickly in the air and converted into a majestic mountain which was vast like the skies and dense like the ground. As its aura spread, the mountain became a world on its own.
But, it was useless!
Bang!
Void space collapsed and the mountain was crushed too. Only a dim golden blood mark was left. It stagnated in the universe and did not disappear.
It was not real blood, but the broken essence of the Great Tao of the Zheng Yi Holy Man.
"The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is indeed powerful as rumors say." The Zheng Yi Holy Man commented in his deep voice, along with the overlap of the groans of Kuang Heng and the rest.

Chapter 597: Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders Can Only be a Friend, not a Foe
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
In void space, among the boundaries drawn by the white clouds, an elder with snow-white hair stood there quietly. He looked down on his own palm.
On his right index finger, his fingertip was stained by a few drops of dim golden blood pearls.
Behind him, Kuang Heng, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and the Elegant Cloud Holy Woman looked at one another with ghastly looks.
In their memory, the last time they saw the elder getting hurt was almost 4000 years ago during the War between the Two Worlds.
"Master..." Kuang Heng took in a deep breath.
The Zheng Yi Holy Man waved his hand and his deep voice sounded in void space, "Regarding today's battle, my disciples should accept defeat. The Great Void Sect has been very impolite. I sincerely apologize to the Celestial Sect of Wonders and fellow cultivators."
"You are good as you have been claimed to be. Maybe we'll have a chance to spar in the future."
Lin Feng said, "If you wish to, we can do it now."
In void space, white clouds rumbled and the universe descend into chaos. After that, it stabilized again and the Zheng Yi Holy Man had already sent Kuang Heng and the rest away.
The white clouds transcended boundless space and returned to Mount Baiyun. Kuang Heng knelt, "I am incapable." Xuan Lin Holy Man and the Elegant Cloud Holy Woman both knelt too.
The Drum Fairy and the Yin-Yang Elder revealed their forms and the Drum Fairy said in a deep voice, "Zheng Yi, the stone stairs has been lost."
The Zheng Yi Holy Man's figure was not revealed in space. There was only a voice that resonated, "I know."
The Yin-Yang Elder said, "The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders can summon the power-destroying catastrophe, but it must be a burden on him too. Otherwise, he could defeat us with his powers without summoning the catastrophe."
"The Drum Fairy and I were unable to reveal the Great Void Holy Pavilion in that short period of time, but you should be able to counter him."
The Zheng Yi Holy Man replied, "Although I may counter him, the result is unknown. If the both of you can form the Great Void Holy Pavilion for me to guide, I can try test the limits of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. But the time has passed. We can only wait for the next time."
Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man lowered their heads and did not speak.
To a certain extent, even if the both of them perished, it was still better than the stone stairs landing in Lin Feng's hands.
"Stone stairs, stone stairs..." Zheng Yi Holy Man's voice became deeper, "We shall leave everything to the future."
Right now, in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, everyone was quiet as they looked at void space. After that, they saw Lin Feng's body became extremely small. It was as if a huge giant that had filled the universe had suddenly reverted to his original size.
Xin Longsheng was very shrewd. When the Zheng Yi Holy Man came to fetch Kuang Heng and the rest, he took the opportunity to escape with the Saintly Celestial Sword.
"Xin Longsheng, from today, it seems like before you pay me a visit at Mount Kunlun, it will be my visit to Mount Shu first. Prepare yourself, for that day is coming."
Lin Feng commented loudly. Not only did it resonate in this plane of space, it transcended void space into the Greater World, where Mount Shu was at.
His voice echoed in the entire Mount Shu.
The sword aura in Mount Shu filled the Heavens and as the Saintly Celestial Sword's sword mind re-surfaced, its stature was mighty. But hidden within it was a hint of slump.
Lin Feng laughed loudly and the Heaven-Destroying Sword in his hand returned to its original length. He placed it back in the sword casket.
The Heaven-Destroying Sword shook tremendously, as if it was indignant. Lin Feng laughed, "I shall leave that Saintly Celestial Sword for you. You will destroy it on your own. That day will come soon."
After hearing this, the Heaven-Destroying Sword stabilized and fully returned to its position in the sword casket. Xuan Li's figure re-appeared in the air again. As she carried the sword casket, she did not mutter a word and she followed behind Lin Feng expressionlessly.
But at a closer look, one could see a little emotion in her face. She seemed like she was throwing a tantrum, if observed carefully.
Lin Feng shook his head and laughed, "Only those in the same category are your arch-enemies. No wonder you have no reaction to the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land and were only attracted to the Saintly Celestial Sword."
He brought Xuan Li back to the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. He wore a relaxed expression, but the people in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land could not relax.
All of them looked at Lin Feng with a serious expression. They were lost and were still immersed in the battle that just ensued.
Immortal Soul Third Level Elder, Kuang Heng.
Immortal Soul Third Level Elder, the Xuan Lin Holy Man.
The most powerful magic treasures in the Mahayana realm in the Grand Celestial World, the Formation Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Clock.
The magic treasure in the destiny realm, the Great Void Holy Pavilion.
Leader of Mount Shu, Immortal Soul Third Level Elder, Xin Longsheng.
Sect-stabilizing treasure of Mount Shu, magic treasure in the destiny realm, King of Swords in the Grand Celestial World, the Saintly Celestial Sword.
With such a powerful line-up, if it were any other great power that was being attacked, they were bound to be defeated.
What was being crushed? When faced with such a tremendous force, regardless whether it was the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, Purple Clouds Sect, Royal House of the Northern Tribes, Sword of Radiance Sect or the Sun Moon Sword Sect, they could only be crushed.
Even if these sects collaborated, they could only be crushed.
A battle with magic treasures in the destiny realm left everyone fearful. If their powers were not good enough and they dared to lay a move, their only fate was death.
Even for the Great Qin Empire who already had the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, if they faced Kuang Heng, Xuan Lin Holy Man, Xin Longsheng, the Saintly Celestial Sword and the Great Void Holy Pavilion, they were bound to be unconfident.
But the final result left everyone speechless.
Kuang Heng's Natural Light Celestial Robe was taken away by Lin Feng and its original soul was destroyed. It was then thrown into the Two Elements of Creation Formation to be used to set up the formation.
The Xuan Lin Holy Man was pulled down from the stone stairs by Lin Feng and the stone stairs landed in Lin Feng's hands.
The Void Yin-Yang Clock was about to suppress Mount Yujing, but was forced back by Lin Feng's Holy Light of Creation.
The Formation Bursting Drum destroyed all formations, but was trapped by Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation, unable to be free from its restraint.
Xin Longsheng could do nothing against Xuan Li and had to invite the Saintly Celestial sword out.
Against this magic treasure, Lin Feng used his Immortal Soul to fit Mount Yujing in. Although the bright clear light prevented others from seeing the full process, they could see the result. That was Lin Feng converting his body into the Heavens and Earth and he used the Heaven-Destroying Sword to overwhelm the Saintly Celestial Sword.
But what was more frightening was that Lin Feng could summon the power-destroying catastrophe. It was a power that left the other Immortal Soul Third Level Elders fearful.
The Great Void Holy Pavilion formed jointly by the Void Yin-Yang Clock and Formation Bursting Drum was in the destiny realm, but was utterly destroyed when it faced the power-destroying catastrophe.
After that, no matter where Lin Feng's sword radiance pointed, Kuang Heng, the Xuan Lin Holy Man, the Void Yin-Yang Clock and the Formation Bursting Drum were hurt.
Eventually, the Zheng Yi Holy Man appeared, but he was placed at a disadvantage too. He did not dare to continue fighting Lin Feng. He could only retreat, and even admitted that the Great Void Sect was responsible for what happened.
With the status of the Zheng Yi Holy Man, for him to say something like this, it was because he conceded defeat. The name of the radical faction of the Great Void Sect was hardly hit this time.
As compared to them, the name of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was boosted even more.
"After the Great Thunderclap Temple was destroyed, is a new Holy Ground born?"
Almost instantly, everyone had the same thought in their head.
"After all, the Celestial Sect of Wonders has a shallow foundation. There are no official disciples that are in the Immortal Soul Stage. To say it's a new Holy Ground might seem a little too baseless."
"But the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Lin Feng, is undoubtedly the strongest in the Divine Lands! Even if Yan Nanlai or Xin Longsheng is in front of him, their name will not overwhelm his. I'm afraid only the revered Tai Yi Holy Man can match up to his current status."
"Although they may lack a stable foundation, with the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders around, the Celestial Sect of Wonders will never fall. With today's showing, it is inevitable that they will become the new Holy Ground."
"Besides the Great Void Sect, Mount Shu Sword Sect, Great Zhou Empire and the Great Qin Empire, the remaining great powers are helpless if they try to resist Lin Feng."
Everyone was discussing heatedly. The Supreme Radiance Swordmaster looked at Lin Feng from the sky and thought of the time when he went to Mount Yujing to challenge Lin Feng. He could not help but sigh, "The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders can only be a friend, not a foe."
As everyone heard what he said, they could not help but nod their heads in agreement.
At this point, someone turned their attention to the Door of Life Creation in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. They were also attracted by the scene of the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain fighting a bunch of Taiji Soldiers.
Everyone revealed a sympathetic expression on their face and shook their heads without speaking.
Shi Yu looked at void space and sighed, "This is beyond my expectation."
Beside him, Shi Zongyue and the Vivant Joy Holy Man were silent. Wu Qingrou nodded his head, "Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is indeed very unpredictable."
Shi Yu said, "It's time for me to make a move."
Wu Qingrou asked, "Your Majesty, you have decided already?"
Shi Yu replied, "Yes, I have."
Wu Qingrou remained silent and did not continue.
"Uncle, I shall leave it to you here." Shi Yu said to Prince Anliang, Shi Zongyue, before he disappeared from the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land.
The Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain was a magic treasure in the Mahayana realm. As it partnered the Two Elders of Ice and Fruit and Cao Wei, it was about to repress the formation created by the Twelve Taiji Soldiers.
But they were not happy. Within the Door of Life Creation, there seemed to be the movement of the Taiji Soldiers.
Lin Feng defeated the Great Void and Mount Shu Elders single-handedly, leaving Cao Wei and the rest fearful.
If it not were for the Taiji Soldiers, they would have escaped.
Just as they managed to ward off the Taiji Soldiers, the bunch of Heaven Lake Sect cultivators were about to escape. But Lin Feng had already arrived at the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. Cao Wei and the rest could not escape even if they wanted to.
Lin Feng looked at them quietly and turned his neck slightly, "Waiting for Yan Nanlai and Lin Daohan to save all of you? Don't count on that. The number of people in the Heaven Lake Sect is dwindling. From today onwards, the Heaven Lake Sect will become history."

Chapter 598: Days are Numbered for the Heaven Lake Sect!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Lin Feng pointed using his fingers and a bunch of Taiji Soldiers retreated to the Door of Life Creation. The Door of Life Creation shook a little and transformed back to its appearance as the Bell of Destiny.
The Bell of Destiny flew beside Lin Feng and converted into a streak of white light, landing on Lin Feng's head.
Although the Taiji Soldiers were no longer there to restrain them, Cao Wei and the rest did not dare to act rashly. Although they had the thought of escaping, Lin Feng's supernatural awareness was locked on them.
Cao Wei and the Two Elders of Ice and Fire separated themselves from the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain. They looked at Lin Feng with serious expressions on their faces.
The face of the Fire Elder turned green and the flames from his body surged. Whereas the Ice Elder sighed slightly while lowering his head, shaking it repeatedly.
Cao Wei was fairly calm but he looked at Lin Feng with a weird look.
Cao Wei swore that if he knew Lin Feng was so powerful, he would not take away the Green Bronze Ding of Emptiness from Shi Tianhao.
Although he could not tell Lin Feng's real cultivation, Cao Wei had observed long enough to know.
During the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai when they faced the attack of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation as well as the Secret Manual of Kun Peng where the ancient Kun Peng awoke, Lin Feng displayed his powers.
Cao Wei could not tell that Lin Feng had such frightening powers.
Although Lin Feng did show his capabilities at Heavenly Cart Peak, Cao Wei did not reckon that he had the ability to face Xin Longsheng, Kuang Heng, Xuan Lin Holy Man, the Saintly Celestial Sword and the attack of the Great Void Holy Pavilion.
This time, at the Heavenly Ancient Dragon Land, the Heaven Lake Sect decided to take a risk and exploit the situation. They factored in the Great Qin Empire's assistance to Lin Feng in their calculations!
According to Cao Wei's and the rest's calculations, only by collaborating with the Great Qin Empire could Lin Feng defeat Kuang Heng, Xin Longsheng and the rest.
Under such a circumstance, Lin Feng had to fend for himself and could not take care of Shi Tianhao.
But alas, it was just a theory. As they made a wrong move, they landed in this position.
If they knew Lin Feng was so powerful, Cao Wei would never have taken the Green Bronze Ding of Emptiness. He would even suggest collaborating with Lin Feng and be honest with him. He would reveal the secrets between the Mountain and River Void Crucible and the Green Bronze Ding of Emptiness. Following that, he would band with Lin Feng to plan schemes and enjoy the benefits together.
For Cao Wei now, there was no use regretting. But there's only one feeling in his heart now.
Regret!
Besides this, he was also stumped. How was Lin Feng so powerful?
Was everything at the start an illusion, or were the rumors real? That for a very long period of time, the Lin Feng that appeared in the world had always been his avatar. It was only recently that his actual body appeared?
Cao Wei did not speak and the Ice Elder lifted his head to look at Lin Feng. He coughed lightly and said, "This is the mistake of the Heaven Lake Sect. We hope that Master Lin will forgive us. The entire Heaven Lake Sect apologizes sincerely and we are willing to use anything to compensate for this mistake."
To express our sincerity, we are offering the Mountain and River Void Crucible and the Green Bronze Ding of Emptiness." The Ice Elder said, "This matter was caused by these items. The Fire Elder and I, as well as Master Cao, were all blinded by greed. We should not have done that."
The Fire Elder stared at him furiously, "What are you saying? We can just fight. After cultivating for so many years, have you lost your guts slowly?"
"Senior, please cool down." The Ice Elder shook his head and communicated using his mana with the Fire Elder. "We have to preserve ourselves for the future. We shall give him the crucibles before letting the news out. After that, we can scheme secretly and await our opportunity."
Lin Feng did not interfere with his communication, as he was not interested. He looked at the three Immortal Soul Stage Elders calmly, "I have said before that all of you have brought it upon yourselves. You can blame nobody for this."
The expression of the Ice Elder changed slightly. He heard Lin Feng said, "The Heaven Lake Sect has made it difficult for the Celestial Sect of Wonders many times. Today is the day that you will repay your debt. You have brought it upon yourself. You can blame nobody for this."
"I have said that the Heaven Lake Sect will become history today. Do you think I'm joking?" Lin Feng laughed suddenly. But this laugh made Cao Wei and the Two Elders of Ice and Fire scared.
In an instant, the three of them jerked suddenly and looked in the same direction.
Their gaze transcended void space and arrived at the Snow Mountains. That was the foundation of the Heaven Lake Sect.
And at this moment, the flowing radiance of the Heaven Lake was converted into a red and blue mask. Like a bowl, it covered the Heaven Lake. That was the showing of the Heaven Lake Sect's formation after it was summoned to its extreme.
Outside that bowl, there was a man who seemed to fill the entire universe with his body.
At the snow field behind the man, there was a tall and thin elder standing, who seemed weak.
As they saw this scene, the three of them changed their expressions. As their arch-enemies, how could they not recognize the man and the elder?
These two people were the Lord and Priest of the Royal House of the Northern Tribes.
They were both in the Immortal Soul Second Level.
While Cao Wei and the two Elders were out, these two people came to their home. To the Heaven Lake Sect, this was undoubtedly the end.
Prince Xian of the Right was watching from the Dragon Battle Arena and he started laughing, revealing a ferocious look in his eyes. His white teeth made him seem like an Immemorial Demon, "As what the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders said, the death of the Heaven Lake Sect is today!"
"After today, the Heaven Lake Sect will cease to exist!"
The three of them wanted to leave to save their sect, but they were stopped by Xuan Li. The Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain and Xuan Li fought, causing the mountain rocks on the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain to fall.
The Ice Elder was shocked and furious. He asked, "Lin Feng, do you have to be so ruthless?"
The Fire Elder stared at Prince Xian of the Right furiously, "Do you think the Royal House of the Northern Tribes call the shots, such that you can mess around here?"
Lin Feng said, "In this world, it is indeed not the call of just one person."
Cao Wei snorted but did not speak. He rubbed his palms and a light figure appeared. Within the light figure, balls of white cloud covered a celestial mountain. It was Mount Baiyun.
As everyone looked at the image in the light figure, their hearts raised. They were unsure if the Great Void Sect Elders would appear.
This time, it was not the radical faction. It was the conservative faction that intervened. Their bottomline was to prevent any more Immortal Soul Stage cultivators from the human clan from perishing.
Any battle was allowed within a certain boundary. But Immortal Soul Stage cultivators had to be preserved.
The Two Elders of Ice and Fire revealed smiles on their faces. But in the next moment, their smiles remained on their faces.
A long light figure appeared, as if it was a dragon circling the Nine Heavens. Its length was counted in hundred thousands of miles. As it dominated the universe, there was seemingly no end to it.
Unsurmountable, indestructible, as it repressed the world, the supreme aura of it filled the entire universe. It seemed to engulf the entire Grand Celestial World.
It was the Immortal Dragon City of the Great Qin Empire!
The Immortal Dragon City dominated the universe and was between Mount Baiyun and the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. It looked as if it was a unidirectional wall, but in fact, it covered overlaps in space. No matter which direction the Great Void Sect Elders wanted to take to reach the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, they were blocked.
At the same time, the Snow Mountains was also in the vicinity. Besides the Lord and Priest of the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, another Immortal Soul Stage Elder appeared. But he was from the Great Zhou Empire.
The appearance of this elder indicated the attitude of the Great Zhou Empire.
Above the Immortal Dragon City, besides Shi Yu, there was another middle-aged man. That man was like a dark thunder cloud. Amidst his indifference was a ferocious and brutal strength.
It was the leader of the Purple Clouds Sect, the Thunderclouds Holy Man.
Within the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, everyone looked at the Blue Pavilion Holy Man. He was calm and did not seemed surprised. It was obvious he knew about it earlier.
The Celestial Sword Elder, Supreme Radiance Swordmaster and the rest sighed secretly. Their emotions started to flow.
The Celestial Sect of Wonders, Great Zhou Empire, Great Qin Empire, Purple Clouds Sect, Royal House of the Northern Tribes represented a lineup that only the Great Void Sect and Mount Shu Sword Sect could handle. But Kuang Heng, Xin Longsheng and the rest were trounced by Lin Feng earlier.
The bunch of them who witnessed this lineup were very pressurized. The might of the Great Void Sect dissipated, as they felt that even the Great Void Sect would be terrified by such a lineup.
Lin Feng's voice sounded in void space, "The Great Void Sect has always resisted the demons. I agree and compliment their actions."
"But just as how the universe flows, we should not be quick to judge. Always staying true to the cause of repressing our conflicts and balancing our powers is not a long-term solution. Dominance resides in our world, but we should not resist changes. Not only is this a perversion of nature, it is also going against human nature."
Lin Feng said, "Enmity will be eliminated eventually, but it cannot be taken as invisible. If a conflict is repressed till its limits, it will explode someday."
At this point, the white clouds surrounding Mount Baiyun opened a pathway. A cheerful voice sounded from within, transcending void space to arrive at the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, "Does Master Lin want to absorb the three of you into his Heavenly Gods-Sealing Flag?"
It was Yan Nanlai's voice.
Lin Feng said, "It's only Cao Wei now. The Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner is only in the gestation realm and can only trap an Immortal Soul Avatar. When it promotes to the metaplasia realm, it can trap a virtual entity."
"I have places for the two of them too. You don't have to worry for me, Comrade Yan."
He sounded relaxed and seemed like he was saying something very normal. But this caused Cao Wei and the rest to change their expressions. They were furious.
But Lin Feng did not even look at them. He looked in the direction of Mount Baiyun and said, "I take into account the fact that they cultivated hard to form the Immortal Soul. Thus I will spare their lives. But they can't escape punishment. Under my supervision, they can keep their lives. Otherwise, they will be executed on the spot."
"It seems like you have made your decision." Yan Nanlai said.
Lin Feng replied, "As the War between the Two Worlds is set to come, the human clan has to be truly bonded. It cannot come because of a compromise."
Within the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, the Celestial Sword Elder and the rest remained silent. The Great Void Sect treated the world as its game. All the leaders of the great powers knew that. The Royal House of the Northern Tribes, Heaven Lake Sect, Great Qin Empire and Great Zhou Empire were all within its calculations.
And these great powers did, to some extent, used the Great Void Sect for their own benefits and development.
Everyone could scheme, but it was about who was the most intelligent and who would have the last laugh.
However, today, Lin Feng was bent on changing things.
He was not willing to follow by their rules anymore!
He had his own rules. Whoever called the shots would be the one who was more powerful.

Chapter 599: Lin Feng's Bold Move
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Lin Feng turned his attention to Mount Baiyun and he said, "True cohesion is more important than a compromise on the surface."
On Mount Baiyun, Yan Nanlai did not say anything and only let out a long sigh. He felt a lot of regret and pity.
At this stage, the fate of the Heaven Lake Sect was sealed.
The thoughts of Yan Nanlai and the Great Void Sect could not be changed just because of the few words of Lin Feng. Their beliefs had been around for thousands of years. The path that they had taken for years could not just be changed at will.
But when facing the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Great Qin Empire, the Great Zhou Empire, Purple Clouds Sect and the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, the Great Void Sect had to be prudent in dealing with things. It was already very difficult to repress things without causing a full-blown conflict.
What everybody did not know was that Lin Daohan brought back important news after he went to the Barren Expanses, which was greatly valued by the Great Void Sect internally.
When one of two drawbacks had to be chosen, the lighter one would be chosen. Over here at the Divine Lands, the Great Void Sect still decided to give a little way.
But today's matter drew a huge rift between the Great Void Sect and Celestial Sect of Wonders along with the other great powers.
Many people present were still confused, but the Immortal Soul Stage Elders knew it in their hearts.
The traditional structure of the human cultivation world in the Divine Lands was completely reformed as of today.
From the Great Void's dominance in the Divine Lands and balance of power between the different great powers, it was now changing to a situation where several of the great powers collaborated against the Great Void Sect.
To a certain extent, the Celestial Sect of Wonders dragged the Great Void Sect down from their pedestal into a more balanced but confusing situation.
But speaking from the other side, from today onwards, the other great powers from the Divine Lands would now face the frightening powers of the Great Void Sect as they oppose them.
Every time during the War between the Two Worlds, the Great Void Sect would unleash their all. That frightening power that they possessed left everyone petrified.
But after the war, the Great Void Sect would always retreat and keep a low profile. People would then tend to neglect their power.
However, from today onwards, everything could not be reversed anymore.
It was till now that everyone realized that today within the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, the battle between Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi was only a fuse to everything.
Lin Feng's battle with Xin Longsheng and the rest was only the beginning of a larger battle.
Although the repercussions of this battle were not as major as the War of Buddha Annihilation, its influence was more far-reaching.
As the Great Thunderclap Temple perished, the Three Holy Ground lost one edge of its triangle. The situation became unclear. But on the whole, the overall structure of the human cultivation world did still operate within the pattern set up by the Great Void Sect.
But from today onwards, everything would be different. The Great Void Sect would lose its top position and become the same as the rest.
As for how the situation of the Divine Lands progresses in the future, no one could tell anymore.
Would the old structure disappear or would the Great Void Sect overcome the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Great Qin, Great Zhou and the other great powers, restoring the old structure?
When a sudden shift of activity appeared in the Barren Lands, or even the eruption of the War between the Two Worlds, the Great Void Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders might put away their dispute and band together to resist the enemy. But when the Barren Lands was quiet, the Divine Lands was bound not to have peace.
The Flying Snow Grandmaster shook his head and sighed, "I never expected that before the battle between Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi at the Dragon Battle Arena, this would be the result."
The Supreme Radiance Swordmaster had the same thought and stoned for a moment. His expression changed, "Wait, if Shi Tianhao loses, everything may be different? Or if Shi Tianyi is defeated, Kuang Heng and the rest will not pursue things and accept defeat. Then things will not be the way it is now."
The Flying Snow Grandmaster was shocked. Very soon, he understood the meaning of the Sun Radiance Swordmaster and he turned his head to look at Lin Feng who was very calm.
"Don't tell me…everything is within his calculations and this is the true ending he wants? He is….truly ambitious!"
The Celestial Sect of Wonders was a rising power. For it to rise, it was inevitable that it infringed on the profits of the existing powers. Whereas the Great Void Sect was the peak of the existing great powers.
If Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders just wanted to join the existing social circle, it would be most advantageous for them to adhere to the existing rules.
This situation resembled one where an all-conquering Emperor handed out titles of marquis to his subjects. However, this Great Void Sect was like the Emperor, which possessed absolute power. Not only was this Emperor not influenced by any of his marquis, as long as he wanted, he could settle any of them with his might.
If the Celestial Sect of Wonders really wanted to be a marquis, they just had to follow the wishes of the Emperor. Their conflicts with the other marquis would be tolerated as long as they did not cross the boundaries. This Emperor was even willing to support the Celestial Sect of Wonders in matching the powers of the existing great powers.
But Lin Feng's ambitions were not so low. That was why he contacted the other ambitious marquis and collaborated to bring the Emperor down.
Coincidentally, in the own house of the Emperor, there were those who disagreed with his absolute rule.
From a certain perspective, Lin Feng and the radical faction of the Great Void Sect had a common profit motive. In the bigger picture, they did not deviate from each other too much.
Because of this point, Lin Feng's scheme was realized. He believed that if Shi Tianhao could emerge victorious over Shi Tianyi, the development of things in the bigger picture in the future would not deviate too much anymore.
As for the result between the battle between Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi, Lin Feng had never once questioned it. He was fully confident of his own disciple.
Similarly, his intentions towards Kuang Heng and the rest was very clear.
The Flying Snow Swordmaster looked at Lin Feng and said bitterly, "What a bold move, trying to change the entire structure of the human cultivation world. As with the examples in history, is he not scared of getting trampled on?"
"A mantis can't stop a car, but a dragon claw or an elephant's leg can." The Sun Radiance Swordmaster said, "That's why today is only just a beginning. Whether Lin Feng is the mantis or the dragon or elephant will only be revealed later."
"However, from today's battle, he seems even more powerful than a dragon or an elephant."
The Great Void Sect decided to deal with the changes of the Barren Expanses and tolerated the advances of Lin Feng and the rest temporarily. In this way, there were no doubts about the fate of the Heaven Lake Sect.
The Two Elders of Ice and Fruit and Cao Wei looked furious. Whatever the Flying Snow Swordmaster and the Sun Radiance Swordmaster wanted, they thought of it too. This made the three of them enraged.
From the start till the end, Lin Feng's target was not them.
The Heaven Lake Sect was an elite sect just below the level of a Holy Ground. But today's change and revolution caused them to be a victim.
It was like a small stone that was caught in between the collision of two huge objects. As the two objects were unaware, this stone was crushed.
What's worse was that this stone sent itself right to the doorstep of all this.
Cao Wei and the other two were on the brink of tears. They did not expect Lin Feng to have such an ambition, as well as his bold actions to support it.
But it was too late to say all of this now. Lin Feng and Xuan Li made a move at the same time. Even with the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain, Cao Wei and the two Elders were suppressed.
Cao Wei's Immortal Soul was thrown into Wang Lin's Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner, whereas the Two Elders were captured by Lin Feng's powers.
Xuan Li disappeared back into the sword casket and the sword casket of the Heaven-Destroying Sword expanded suddenly. It was not smaller than the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain. As it stabbed on the mountain, it stopped the mountain from moving.
The battle had finally ended as it reached this stage.
It's just that everyone was still shook, especially the bunch of Immortal Soul Stage Elders. They knew that today was just the beginning of everything.
The Celestial Sword Elder sighed slightly. The Heavenly Master Sword Sect was always secretly helped by the Great Void Sect. How should they proceed from now on?
Would the attitude of the Great Void Sect towards the Heavenly Master Sword Sect change for the better or the worse?
In the Great Qin Empire camp, Wu Qingrou was silent. At the void space beside him, Shi Yu appeared again.
"Your Majesty, have you decided?" Wu Qingrou asked the same question.
Shi Yu said, "It's time to change."
Wu Qingrou sighed, "Why must we do this? We are slogging our guts out to help others but we don't benefit from this." He was a little unkind with hi words.
"The future is unpredictable, who can truly be confident?" Shi Yu was not angry but remained indifferent, " I can't. The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders can't and Qingrou can't either."
Wu Qingrou nodded his head, "Yes, no one can truly be confident about the future…"
Shi Yu pointed to the skies. Within the deep red skies in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, space twisted and formed a huge whirlpool. A white dragon sculpture jade door appeared once again. It was the Dragon Rock Gate.
The Dragon Rock Gate was opened now. The dragon roar shook the skies and the doors were shining with a radiance, that shot out in all directions.
As if the conflict with the Great Void Sect had not occurred, Shi Yu said relaxingly, "Tianhao, you can enter the Dragon Rock Gate. The time limit you have is one day. If you can take away the treasure within that time, it belongs to you. It's a reward that belongs to you rightfully."
Above Lin Feng's head, Purple Clouds were rumbling. They revealed the figure of Mount Yujing subtly. A tall youth jumped out of the mountain. It was Shi Tianhao.
The scars on his body had disappeared. But his face was pale like a sheet. He even seemed a little weak.
But he was in good spirits. After his battle with Shi Tianyi, he seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis.
Shi Tianhao turned to look at Lin Feng. Lin Feng sat on his knees above the huge sword casket and smiled while nodding his head. Shi Tianhao waved his hands at Shi Yu. As his figure flashed, he entered the Dragon Rock Gate.
"I have to thank Comrade Shi for this." Lin Feng smiled and Shi Yu nodded his head calmly without speaking.
Following that, Lin Feng's voice resonated in void space. "I am opening slots up again for interested individuals to join the Celestial Sect of Wonders. For those who are interested, they can go to Xiling City. The deadline is in one month. For those who want to join after the deadline, they can go to Shazhou County."
His voice was not loud, but travelled across the world. It spread across the Divine Lands and caused a commotion.
"Following the boost in reputation after this battle, I can start accepting disciples again. This is effectively tapping on the booming name of the Celestial Sect of Wonders." Lin Feng thought, "Yet another important step taken, but there are more important things in the future too."
His consciousness entered the system and there were many new messages.
"Congratulations for completing the main mission 2.1!"
"Main mission special reward!"
"Newest main mission 2.2 released!"
