Chapter 544: Provoking

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Shi Yan's face was thin and pale. There was no light in his eyes when he woke up in the gravitational chamber.

He had only one bottle of Soul Restoring Pellet left from the three bottles he had received. However, his understanding of the Teleportation Formation had just crossed the threshold. At this speed, it wouldn't take long for him to comprehend the subtle features of the Teleportation Formation thoroughly.

The rapid draining of Soul Consciousness every time he was in that strange world scared him. Although he had the Soul Restoring Pellet, every time he got in that world, it took him three days to recover his Soul Consciousness.

Seeing that he was about to use up the Soul Restoring Pellet, he started to think about the supply one more time.

At that moment, the stony door of the gravitational chamber was banged loudly. Lin Ya Qi's anxious voice still arose.

He pulled himself together, got up, and then opened the door to let her in. He frowned, "What do you come here for?"

"You're here, indeed." Lin Ya Qi exhaled, then observed the gravitation room. Then, she said, "The Dead Soul Mountain range's really dangerous at this moment. I'm worried that you didn't know the situation clearly and have left the valley. I am here to notify you."

Then, Lin Ya Qi told him in detail the situation of the Dead Soul Mountain range.

When he heard that more and more warriors went missing every day, Shi Yan was scared. While he was unconscious, the situation of the Dead Soul Mountain range had turned bad.

"I will not leave for the time being. Don't worry. Oh yeah, do you have the pellets to restore Soul Consciousness? If you have, give me some. We can deal the price." Shi Yan poured out some Soul Restoring Pellet from the Storage Ring and took them in all. While he was sensing his Soul Consciousness being restored a bit, his face looked a bit satisfied.

"If you don't leave the valley, why do you need the pellets?" Lin Ya Qi's eyes were suspicious. She scrutinized him from left to right, then asked all of a sudden. "Are you practicing some techniques that depend on the Soul Consciousness?"

"No."

"I know it. Only the seven ancient factions know how to cultivate the techniques using Soul Consciousness. Even my teacher doesn't know these techniques. These techniques are too scarce. The ones who know them are as rare as phoenix feather or unicorn horn. If you know how to cultivate your Soul Consciousness, you don't need many pellets to restore it."

Shi Yan's eyes lit up.

The technique to cultivate the Soul Consciousness?

The Soul Consciousness was the most basic treasure trove. A strong Soul Consciousness gave way to a strong host soul. The stronger the Soul consciousness was, the more sensitive the sensing was.

To the alchemists and the blacksmiths, the Soul Consciousness was an important matter.

On their way practicing refining medicine and forging weapons, if their Soul Consciousness was strong and keen enough, when they refined things, they could control the aura of heaven and earth better, and the formation or the spell they carved on their products would be more exquisite. Their speed was also strengthened overall.

Cultivating the Soul Consciousness could give the host soul a big space. The Soul Consciousness was really magical. The more it was refined, the better it would be when the warrior urged his power.

When Shi Yan was in the Quiet Cloud Land and Endless Sea, he had never heard about a technique specialized in cultivating the Soul Consciousness. Their Soul Consciousness could only grow after they had broken through a new realm.

Hearing this from Lin Ya Qi, he was overjoyed.

To understand the mysteries of the Teleportation Formation in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success thoroughly, he had to consume his Soul Consciousness continually. If he had the technique to cultivate the Soul Consciousness, it wouldn't take much of his effort when comprehending the Teleportation Formation.

At the same time, refining and condensing the essence of the Soul Consciousness also had a big impact on his martial arts.

"In the Divine Great Land, do only the seven ancient factions have the techniques to cultivate the Soul Consciousness?" Shi Yan was moved. He didn't conceal, asking directly. "Does anyone sell this kind of techniques?"

"No," Lin Ya Qi shook her head, "Besides the seven ancient factions, there're some mysterious experts who know how to cultivate the Soul Consciousness. However, finding them is harder than finding the seven ancient factions. You shouldn't think about it much."

Shi Yan didn't speak, but was contacting the Ice Cold Flame.

The Ice Cold Flame had had several masters, and each one of them was a genius. They were the peak realm experts, or the blacksmith at a far-reaching level. These kinds of characters could know how to train their Soul Consciousness hopefully.

When the Ice Cold Flame was integrated fully with its master, although it would be limited, once the master died, it could gain all the hidden and mysterious memories of its master.

Shi Yan thought that perhaps the Ice Cold Flame knew something.

"No. If I knew it, I would have told you already the first time you tried to access the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success. My previous masters had only focused on their powers. They didn't put much effort into training Soul Consciousness and the host soul. So, I can't help you," the Ice Cold Flame replied shortly.

Shi Yan cut the connection with the flame, his face disappointed. He closed his eyes to contemplate for a while, then spoke to Lin Ya Qi, "Okay. So… do you have the pellets or medicines that can recover the Soul Consciousness?"

"I have the Original Soul Pellet. It's much more precious than your Soul Restoring Pellet. I can give you two bottles. Each bottle has fifty pills. One Original Soul Pellet is more effective than twenty Soul Restoring Pellets."

Lin Ya Qi chuckled, explaining the differences between the two pellets. "The Soul Restoring Pellet can only restore the consumed Soul Consciousness. However, not only can my Original Soul Pellet recover the Soul Consciousness fast, but also help it increase. My teacher's an alchemist. Even though he doesn't know how to train the Soul Consciousness, he has used the pellets to improve his Soul Consciousness. Of course, pellets are just medicines; they aren't specialized techniques. The improvement made by the pellets is limited. Normally, a warrior can use only three bottles of the Original Soul Pellet to strengthen his Soul Consciousness. After that, even if he uses more pellets, he can't make it progress further. At that time, it can only be used as a pellet to restore the consumed Soul Consciousness. Of course, its recovering speed is much faster than the Soul Restoring Pellet's."

Shi Yan's eyes brightened. "How many Essence Qi crystals do you want?"

"I don't need the Essence Qi crystals," Lin Ya Qi smiled like a little fox, squinting her eyes. "You help me with this stuff, and I'll give you two bottles for free."

"What stuff?" Shi Yan was quite alert. "I have to say that although I need the Original Soul Pellet, I won't waste a lot of my strength for you."

"Help me teach someone a lesson. As long as you can satisfy me, besides these two bottles, I can find two more for you. How does it sound?"

"Who?"

"Some jerks of the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley!" Lin Ya Qi gritted her teeth, her eyes sparkling with resentment. "These years, those assholes have often bullied me. Although I'm a warrior, my master has grounded me and asked me to study the spiritual formations for refining medicine. I don't have enough strength, so I'm not their opponent."

Pure Land, Radiant God Cult, and Devil Valley were the three forces with their names spreading throughout the entire Divine Great Land. Normal, people felt scared whenever they heard these names.

In the whole Divine Great Land, the powers of the seven ancient factions had been stood firm for tens of thousands of years. With their profound history, people found it hard to estimate their internal resources.

A generation of successors nurtured by the seven ancient factions, no matter it was in terms of the techniques, martial arts, experience or treasures, they were always on top.

These young people of the ancient faction were more powerful than the leaders of some small sects. And, they were all arrogant, swaggering around the Divine Great Land with no fear in their hearts.

"You want me to offend these three forces at the same time?" Shi Yan beamed a forced smile as he suddenly had a headache.

"If you don't dare, I'll keep my Original Soul Pellets," snorted Lin Ya Qi. "Recently, it's like finding the needle in a haystack when you want to find the restoring soul medicine in the Spirit Potion Valley. Unless you snatch from someone, don't think about using a higher price to buy the medicines. Of course, I know that you have the guts to mess up with other people. Perhaps you will use force to take them. But if you do so, you'll be the common enemy of the whole Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley."

Currently, people in the Dead Soul Mountain range were flustered. Under the arrangement of the Spirit Hall and the Tool Hall, many warriors had gathered. If someone started to slaughter the warriors, of course, it would enrage the hotshots here.

At the moment, besides the Sacred Level alchemists and blacksmiths in the two valleys, there were Spirit Realm Elders from the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley staying in the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley. Even if Shi Yan were more confident, provoking the patience of all warriors in the two valleys was an unwise move.

"You think about it," Lin Ya Qi smiled, looking at him without any hurry.

Cold light flashed across Shi Yan's eyes. He kept silent for a long while, then lifted his head to talk to her. "What cultivation base do they have?"

"Around the peak of Sky Realm, I assume… Not much different from yours," Lin Ya Qi smiled at him tenderly. "Little Yan, I know you're at the Peak of Sky Realm, too. But your real competence is more tremendous than theirs. I believe that those jerks from the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley aren't your match. Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to provoke the freaks at Spirit Realm. Hehe..."

"Deal!" Shi Yan suddenly shot up from this seat, extending one hand to the girl. "First, give me two bottles of the Original Soul Pellet. Wait until I restore my Soul Consciousness. I'm going there to help you."

"Deal." Lin Ya Qi was frank enough, and immediately gave him two green bottles. "Use warm water to take the pellet. Once it gets in your stomach, you should urge the medicinal efficacy to enter your Soul Consciousness. Then, you'll know what to do next. I'm waiting for you in the gravitational room. Ten pellets are enough to supplement all of your consumed Soul Consciousness."

Shi Yan received the bottle, taking out ten pills. Then, he took out a jade china bowl from the Storage Ring. A fire sparked from his fingertip and shortly, the water in the jade bowl became boiling hot.

Shi Yan swallowed the Original Soul Pellets with hot water. He then sat down in front of Lin Ya Qi and started his recovery."Where's that little girl?" Outside a manor, Hao Hai of the Devil Valley asked while caressing a dragon-shaped jade pendant, his eyes cold, raking around the place.

"She got in." Emerald jade silky fibers shot out from Ming Mei's slender fingers. They flew one round around the manor, which helped her confirm the information.

"The medicine she sold me last time had poison in it. After I took it, I almost fell into bedevilment!" Hao Hai gritted his teeth. "That girl's eviler than warriors cultivating demonic methods like us. If I didn't react fast, not to mention breaking through the new realm, my cultivation base would have decreased! That damn little girl, even if Li Zheng Rong protects her, I still have to give her a lesson!"

"You deserve that!" Ming Mei laughed cheerily. Her graceful body swayed on the spot, with green waves lingering on her body. "Well, I had quietly sent my signals to you, but you didn't care. You only wanted to tease her. If you didn't want her, why would she always sells medicine blended with poison to you?"

"Harrumph... I'm willing to be poisoned rather than messing up with you." Hao Hai's face became colder. "I don't want to die without a known reason."

Then, Hao Hai took a deep breath, entering the manor Lin Ya Qi had gotten in.

Chapter 545: Cousin?

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The Original Soul Pellet was much more effective than the Soul Restoring Pellet indeed.

After he swallowed ten pills, they turned into a warm current, flowing toward his Sea of Consciousness. The Sea of Consciousness seemed like it was watered with a fluid of growth, being restored rapidly.

The consumed Soul Consciousness had been supplemented quickly under the magical effect of this warm current. When using the Soul Restoring Pellet to recover the consumed Soul Consciousness, it required more than half a day. However, the Original Soul Pellet needed only fifteen minutes.

His Soul Consciousness was recovered.

After sensing it, Shi Yan could confirm that if he had more Original Soul Pellets, after his Soul Consciousness was restored, it would enlarge a little bit more.

However, Lin Ya Qi didn't give him more time.

As soon as his Soul Consciousness had been restored, Lin Ya Qi immediately screamed out, calling him to get out of the gravitational room and take revenge for her.

Shin Yan was in high spirits, narrowing his eyes. Cold light sparkled in his pupils, while he curled his lips. "No need to bother, they've come for you already."

Lin Ya Qi smile froze as she snorted. "That quick? Seems like they always keep an eye on me. Those jerks do have bad thoughts. Indeed, none of them are nice."

Shi Yan stood up, facing Lin Ya Qi. He then took off his dirty greenish-gray warrior clothes and changed into a pure black one. Adjusting his collar, Shi Yan kicked the door open and strode out.

Outside the room, Hao Hai and Ming Mei stood there with their electric-sharped eyes and deep, gloomy aura.

Third Sky of Sky Realm!

Shi Yan's eyes lit up. Just at first glance, he recognized their cultivation base precisely.

Hao Hai and Ming Mei were wearing silvery a gray armor and scarlet armor respectively. Their precious armors covered half of their bodies, and light sparkled shiningly from their arms and knees. Vaguely, people could see energy fluctuations from these spots.

There were some sorts of strange and evil formations carved on their armors, which could gather the heaven and earth Qi. Although the two stood still, heaven and earth Qi in the surroundings gathered proactively towards them, entering the formation on their armors and getting absorbed into their bodies. This supported them to condense the Essence Qi at any minute.

They both wore Storage Rings and another five-colored ring on their fingers. These rings shimmered with tender, translucent halo, which indicated that they weren't just normal items.

'Worth their identity, the successors of the ancient factions!' Shi Yan complimented them in his head. Their clothing, accessories, the Storage Rings, and the rings on their arms were most likely all priceless items. They should have some special effects that could enhance their strength while fighting.

The Third Sky of Sky Realm cultivation base of these two people was full of the aura of the ancient era. Their Essence Qi was pure, which was obviously higher than the ordinary Third Sky of Sky Realm warriors.

While his eyes were raking through Hao Hai and Ming Mei, the other two were observing him too.

A jet black warrior cloth covered a muscular body with a cold attitude. His long black hair draped over his shoulders. His eyes were like two stars shining and oppressing people's minds.

Hao Hai and Ming Mei were shaken inside, but still kept their faces stiff.

They could feel the brutal aura exuded from Shi Yan while his breath was filled with clear murderous intention.

Not a soft persimmon! (Not the type of person that could be bullied easily – TL)

Just at first glance, Hao Hai and Ming Mei understood something. They then could see the fear deep in each other's eyes.

The murderous aura couldn't be gained through cultivation. A warrior could only obtain it from fatal fights and slaughter, in which he had to kill many other warriors.

If others sensed them carefully, they could see the murderous aura on Hao Hai and Ming Mei too. However, it was much less than Shi Yan's.

Who was this man?

Hao Hai and Ming Mei exchanged looks, their hearts filled with surprise while they were searching for the identity of young and outstanding men in the Divine Great Land in their heads.

Names of prominent young men crossed their minds fast.

Shaking his head, Hao Hai realized that none of the outstanding young men in the Divine Great Land matched with the bearing Shi Yan had.

Lin Ya Qi let out a light chuckle. She slowly strolled out of the gravitation room, throwing a glance at Hao Hai. Her beautiful eyes showed her disdain towards the young man. She snorted and said impatiently, "You come here again… For what?"

Hao Hai was enraged. A cold light slowly crossed his phoenix eyes that could scare people. "The pellet you sold me contained an extreme poison. I almost fell in bewilderment! You tell me what I come for?"

"Ah," Lin Ya Qi didn't change her face. On the contrary, she giggled. "When I gave it to you, didn't I remind you that I didn't refine it? I remember I told you that already. Remembering it or not, it's your responsibility."

An interesting smile hung on Ming Mei's face as she was retreating her graceful body, keeping a distance with Hao Hai. Then, she spoke mildly, "Ya Qi mei mei, I'm here just to watch the fun. You don't need to be bothered with me."

Lin Ya Qi's face was cold. She snorted and muttered something under her breath, as if she was cursing someone else.

"Turns out I can't reason with you," Hao Hai wasn't angry. He seemed to be calmer, nodded as he said, "Give me back the materials I've given you to refine pellets. Or, give me the real pellets. Otherwise, I won't let this slip away. Regarding me getting poisoned, as long as you apologize, I won't trouble you more to give Old Li face."

"In your dreams," Lin Ya Qi cracked a mocking smile, her face full of disdain.

Hao Hai's countenance became tenser. He took a deep breath. The ring on his arm had many black fibers which looked like seaweed in the deep ocean, extending and winding around both of his arms.

Those black fibers were moving with some mysterious trajectory, forming tiny but dense demonic patterns on his arms. After the patterns were formed, they started to absorb the Essence Qi in his body.

The black, fine fibers forming the patterns became more exquisite after receiving the Essence Qi. Now, they looked like the shiny long black hair.

Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!

Strange sounds echoed from his armor, as energy fluctuations expanded everywhere.

Heaven and earth Qi was suddenly restrained.

The overflowing rich heaven and earth aura seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier. Not only the space surrounding them, but also the heaven and earth aura surrounding Shi Yan and Lin Ya Qi were cut off.

A space-twisting energy appeared next to Hao Hai. Space then started to crumple as if it were about to collapse, giving people a strange feeling of shrinking.

Trace of grudge sparkled in Lin Ya Qi's eyes. She stepped backward quietly until she reached the door of the gravitation room. Then, she smiled, pointing at Shi Yan. "This is my cousin. He said that, as long as he's here, no one can bully me anymore."

Cousin?

Hao Hai and Ming Mei were suspicious. Since when did she have a cousin?

As they were all the young talents of the Divine Great Land, it wasn't the first time Hao Hai and Ming Mei visited the Dead Soul Mountain range, or the first time they had contacted Lin Ya Qi. They knew that Li Zheng Rong's two disciples were both orphans, whom Li Zheng Rong had been taken care since they were little.

How could an orphan have a cousin all of a sudden?

"Well, nowadays, cousins are things we can't clarify. The one I love, I could call him cousin too... Haha." Ming Mei beamed a tender smile, looking at Shi Yan and Lin Ya Qi with dark thoughts showing on her face.

Hao Hai got it, as his face turned colder.

He liked Lin Ya Qi, and Ming Mei knew that well. He was still suspicious, but after Ming Mei stirred up the matter, he got it immediately.

B*tch!

Lin Ya Qi glared at Ming Mei with hostility as she was cursing the girl in her head. Actually, she had mouthed the word, but she didn't make a sound. Lin Ya Qi wasn't an idiot. She understood that Ming Mei burned it up on purpose.

The relationship between Lin Ya Qi and Hao Hai used to be a bit harmonious. If Ming Mei hadn't added things at the wrong timing, which provoked Hao Hai's mood, Hao Hai wouldn't have misbehaved with her. It would not accelerate to a violent dispute like right now.

The hatred she had for Ming Mei was deeper than what she felt for Hao Hai. If it weren't that Ming Mei was more dangerous than Hao Hai, she would have taken action against that woman earlier.

"Cousin, they want to bully me," Lin Ya Qi called out with her soft voice and innocent appearance. She pointed at Ming Mei and Hao Hai. "These two aren't good people. They harm other people daily. Well, especially the one who always pours oil into fire, I think she regrets that she can't kill some girls who are more beautiful than her. Well, you know, that sort of people are the most disgusting ones."

Ming Mei's pupils shrank. She curled her lips and snorted. "Are you talking about me?" Women always cared about their appearances, especially pretty women. Lin Ya Qi's words, of course, got the other girl on her nerves.

"Nah, how dare I talk about you. Everybody knows that you are the most beautiful woman. Ming Mei, yeah, right, you are so beautiful," Lin Ya Qi mocked with a cold face.

Ming Mei let out a light chuckle, but her eyes shimmered with cold light. She was a bit gloomy as she was looking at the other girl, seeming to be thoroughly provoked.

"Do you want to interfere in others' business?" Although Hao Hai was enraged, he still had his clear mind. He could recognize that Shi Yan wasn't just an ordinary man.

"I will not interfere in others' business," smiled Shi Yan.

Hao Hai relaxed his stiff face, while Lin Ya Qi got angry, rolling her eyes at him. Ming Mei found it interesting, chuckling and looking at him.

"It's my cousin's business, how I can consider it 'other people's business'?" Shi Yan smile faintly. He stood upright and curled his lips, his manners as sharp as a knife when he shouted, "Stop babbling! If you want to fight, move you're a*s. I don't have much time for you."

In that fraction of time, the indignant feature on Lin Ya Qi 's face vanished. She smiled cheerily until her body shook. "I knew it. My cousin likes me the most."

Shi Yan felt his hair raising as he beamed a forced smile in his heart. However, he still appeared cold as usual.

Hao Hai was enraged. Cold light sparked like electric currents in his eyes. The aura on him became more murderous, but his face was getting calmer.

'Brilliant hotshot!' Shi Yan exclaimed in his head. It was the first time he showed his serious countenance. Now he knew that the young generation nurtured by the seven ancient factions were really tough to deal with.

During a fight, the more one got angry, the more chances one had to fall into the disadvantaged circumstances. When the hotshots fought, they competed each other in aura, mood, experience, and intelligence.

During a battle, if the opponent could control the mood, one's aura would change accordingly, which would affect the whole picture of the battle.

When a warrior had rage affecting his mind, he couldn't react with clarity. Losing the mind meant losing the grasp of the whole situation.

Right before the fight, Hao Hai could restore his sound mind, which was what a typical hotshot would do.

"I don't care if you're her cousin or not. Frankly speaking, you irritate me. If I don't feel good, you shouldn't expect to feel good either." Hao Hai gave him a faint smile, his face calm and relaxed. However, his aura became more dangerous.

Replying to Hao Hai, three words came from Shi Yan's side, "Come beat me!"

All of a sudden, Hao Hai moved like a thunderbolt tearing the sky… Strong, determined, evil, and brutal.

Chapter 546: One strike to rout

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Hao Hai moved slightly. The demonic patterns on his arms shot out countless black lightning bolts, looking extremely fearsome.

The smell of blood exuded from his armor, shining with a cold light that could make people shiver. Those beams of light poured into his palms as strong as a rising rainbow.

Two spheres of black energy were spinning in his palms, as big as a grinder. They looked malicious and brutal, full of a murderous aura.

Demon electricity was activated!

This was a killing strike of Hao Hai. If everything was smooth enough, he could use one strike to rout the enemy.

Ming Mei smiled brightly. But her eyes were as cold as ice, gazing at Shi Yan while waiting to see him be wounded badly.

Hao Hai had been practicing this strike for really long time. He had learned it from watching the Ghost Bloody Dance in the Ghost Bloody Cave in the Devil Valley. When added with the demon electric power from the demonic patterns, all the Elders in the Devil Valley had to admire this strike of his.

Ming Mei knew the power of this strike. She understood well that if Hao Hai weren't enraged completely, he would never use it in the first attack.

'Let's see what do you do to counter!'

Ming Mei sneered inside as she was thinking about what to do to provoke Lin Ya Qi after Shi Yan was defeated.

Lin Ya Qi was also worried, her face anxious. She didn't expect that Hao Hai would use the killing strike straight up like that.

Now, she regretted it that she didn't tell Shi Yan clearly how dangerous Hao Hai was.

If she had told him, Shi Yan could have used all of his strength to counter right at the beginning. She thought Shi Yan would find it hard to parry the opponent now.

Lin Ya Qi had heard Ye Chang Feng bragging about Shi Yan's skills many times, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Thus, she still kept a suspicious attitude towards the man.

Anyhow, Shi Yan came from the Endless Sea. She understood well that martial arts and endowment of the warriors there were far behind that of the warriors in the Divine Great Land.

Hao Hai came from the Devil Valley, the ruthless fellow that successfully walked out of the thirty-six Terminating Caves in the Devil Valley.

Warriors in the Devil Valley had to compete with each other ruthlessly. The strong would win, and the weak had to accept their defeat. Disciples who could walk out of the Devil Valley had to step on countless bloody bodies after they had perceived some kinds of evil powers in thirty-six Terminating Caves.

It was no exception that all disciples who could escape the Devil Valley became the objects to receive the intensive training from the Devil Valley. And, in the future, they would become the key persons of the Devil Valley, too.

The thirty-six Terminating Caves of the Devil Valley hid danger at every step. Bodies and bones of losers filled the place, while some sorts of evil powers hovered everywhere.

Under such circumstances, if a warrior wanted to survive, he had to deal with something much more dangerous than fighting with the experts. It could be said that the area was hell where devils dwelled. Hao Hai was among the warriors who had successfully proven himself.

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!

Demon electric currents shot like shuttles moving back and forth, weaving a shield without the smallest split that could cover both the sky and earth. The shield was stretching from above.

Lin Ya Qi's heart felt like being hung tightly. However, Shi Yan stood still like a ten thousand years old mountain. His eyes were cold and brutal, indifferently watching the intertwining demon electric currents slowly descending like a bunch of snakes from the sky.

The corner of Hao Hai's mouth hung a cold smile. That man was done.

If the torrential demon electric currents covered him entirely, among the same level warriors, no one could successfully escape this strike. They could only be eroded bit by bit.

Hao Hai was confident.

However, at this moment, numerous palm-leaf fan imprints appeared in the air. Shi Yan's figure faded, and then divided.

Shortly, there were ten Shi Yan, each of them looking cold and ruthless, their eyes fierce with torrential fighting will.

Phantom Change! Thousand-handed Change!

Countless hand imprints as big as a small mountain piled up in the void rumblingly attacking every corner.

Boom Boom Boom!

They then saw the demon electric currents Hao Hai had released being smashed instantly. Numerous black electric currents were destroyed with a smack.

Ten Shi Yan piled up on each other, moving fast. The hand imprints became thicker in the sky, just like a shower of leaves covering the whole space.

Rumble Rumble Rumble!

Cripsy explosions reverberated, as the space between the two of them exploded with an ear-splitting thunder.

A burning smell spread out in the air.

The ground under Shi Yan's feet cracked, as green stones scattered here and there. The training courts around were slightly shaking, while the tiles on their roofs flew randomly.

Shortly, the phantoms in the sky retreated. The hand imprints faded out like vanishing shadows until they disappeared completely.

Dust settled.

The chaotic situation calmed down, and the field revealed little by little.

"Oh!"

Ming Mei covered her mouth, her visage frightened. Her eyes bulged as if they were about to fall off her sockets.

Lin Ya Qi was struck. She burst out laughing as she was overjoyed.

Surrounded by debris, Shi Yan stood still at his spot as if he had never moved. His face was as cold as usual.

Hao Hai was covered in blood, trembling and about to collapse. His face was gloomy and sinister. Two trickles of dark blood dripped down on his face that he couldn't control.

It seemed like he got beaten by many people. His clothes were pieces of rags, and his armor was broken. The demon patterns on his arms dimmed; no more light sparkled, or any torrential energy that surged. Bruises of hand imprints appeared on his chest, arms, and abdomen, which left deep concaves on his body.

Hao Hai trembled, and then fell. The vicious light in his eyes dimmed as he fainted. Ming Mei changed her visage, flew over and grabbed him. She lifted her head, fear crossing her eyes briefly before disappearing. She put Hao Hai on her shoulder and then moved swiftly, running away from the scene.

Warriors who were cultivating in the training courts near there craned their necks from the doors and watched the scene with astonishment.

Lin Ya Qi wore a smiling face as if she had won a big prize. She kept giggling as she was happier than ever before.

"For four bottles of the Original Soul Pellet, I'll help you deal with four people. He's the first one." Shi Yan frowned, throwing a glance at Lin Ya Qi as he notified the girl. He didn't mind the surrounding warriors watching them, getting back to his gravitational room.

Lin Ya Qi arched the end of her brows and smiled until her eyes squinted, looking at the general direction where Ming Mei had left. After a while, she walked into the gravitational room with satisfaction.Spirit Potion Valley...

In a building exclusively for the people from the Devil Valley, Feng Biao was toying with the Original Demon Bead in his hands while explaining the characteristics of the dead souls.

Feng Biao was a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior, an Elder of the Devil Valley in the Divine Great Land. He was also a famous brutal character.

Lining in front of him were five young people. They were all wearing gorgeous attires, but their aura were gloomy and eccentric. Their faces were stubborn as they were listening to the older man impatiently.

These five young people were the hotshots of the Devil Valley who came out from the thirty-six Terminating Caves. Four of them were at the peak of Sky Realm, while the fifth one was a handsome young man who surprisingly was at the First Sky of Spirit Realm!

Lie Feng was the most famous young expert of the Devil Valley. He had reached the Spirit Realm when he was thirty years old. Since he was ten years old, he had been training in the thirty-six Terminating Caves, killing many people. He had a pair of silver eyes and gray hair. Everybody was afraid of him.

Although Feng Biao was the Elder of the Devil Valley, Lie Feng apparently didn't respect him. His face showed that he didn't care.

He was the devil kind who had a greater chance to grasp the top power of the Devil Valley in the future. Although his position was low, he was extremely ominous. Young people in his generation only submitted to him. If they didn't obey his order, it would be much more terrible than going against their teacher.

His authority stemmed from the thirty-six Terminating Caves.

Each generation of brilliant warriors who had been cultivated in the Terminating Caves in the Devil Valley together with him and could get out of that evil place with him all submitted to him. If they didn't follow him, he would keep them in the caves forever.

Lie Feng leaned against the wall. It seemed like he was about to doze off at any minutes, his face idle.

Feng Biao clenched his jaw. While he was lecturing about the dead soul's characteristics, Lie Feng obviously didn't pay attention to him, which irritated him a lot.

Although he didn't like it, Feng Biao didn't dare to show his real feelings.

Lie Feng was too brutal and violent. Also, he was a devil kind. In the coming time, he would surely become the lord of the Devil Valley. If he created a grudge with Lie Feng now, his future wouldn't be so bright.

He understood Lie Feng's characteristics pretty well. Thus, even if he felt more irritated, he wouldn't dare to expose it.

BANG!

The door was banged open.

Feng Biao got enraged, shouting with his gloomy face. "What are you doing!"

Ming Mei carried Hao Hai stormed into the room, crying with her hoarse voice, "Elder, please check Hao Hai. I'm afraid he can't endure any longer. That's why I had to rush."

Both young and old men of the Devil Valley in the room changed their faces.

"Who did that?" Feng Biao asked with a ferocious face as he instantly jumped to Hao Hai and checked his situation. He immediately put many pellets into his mouth and urgently helped him to swallow them. Then, he shouted coldly, "Wounded badly! If you didn't arrive on time, even if he could recover, he would still have an ailment that would be hard to treat thoroughly. Who did that?"

Ming Mei didn't dare to conceal. She hurried to tell them everything in detail.

"One on one? Normal battle? Hao Hai got screwed in just one strike?" Feng Biao's face became darkened. He tried to press down his anger, asking through his gritted teeth.

Ming Mei nodded.

"Who's willing to take back the face of our Devil Valley?" Feng Biao took a deep breath, asking with a cold face. "Since he dared to provoke us, no matter where he comes from, we need to use blood to teach him!"

Feng Biao raked through the people present in the room.

Lie Feng pouted his lips, indicating that he wasn't interested in this case.

"Cheng Ge, you're one grade stronger than Hao Hai. You shall go!" As Feng Biao saw Lie Feng's expression, he knew that the other wasn't just joking. So, he had to take a step back and ask the other to take this mission.

Cheng Ge, a Peak Sky of Sky Realm, had trained in the thirty-six Terminating Caves with Hao Hai. He had visited twelves caves alone and got out wounded badly. He was one grade stronger than Hao Hai, and had gained more than what Hao Hai got from the Terminating Caves. In general, his competence was one level higher than Hao Hai's.

Rubbing his nose, Cheng Ge knew that he couldn't dodge it. "Well, Elder has assigned me, so I don't dare to go against you. I'm going now."

Then, Cheng Ge didn't linger, strolling away towards the Precious Tool Valley. "He's just a kid at the Sky Realm. I'm not interested in him. Well, I want to meet him when he reaches the Spirit Realm."

Lie Feng's face was cold. He walked out of the room and said leisurely. "I'm tired. I'm going to take rest. Call me if you need me. Hmm, yeah, if nothing's important, don't call me. My Demogorgon Technique's about to have a breakthrough."

Feng Biao hated him and feared him at the same time.

He hated Lie Feng's attitude, and was afraid of his understanding and tremendous potential.

His Demogorgon Technique was about to break through again? How long had it been? How did he train himself? Was he human?

Feng Biao was startled. He was a hot-tempered person, but he didn't dare to vent out his anger in front of Lie Feng.

He tried to press down his anger. Waiting until Lie Feng was gone, he threw an indignant look at the others and scolded. "Why don't you try your best? Look at Lie Feng, his Demogorgon Technique is about to break through again. How about you guys? What are you waiting for? Move you're a*s! Train yourself more!"

The group of people who got blamed felt like they were amnestied, fleeing away.

Only Hao Hai was left lying on the ground.

"That brat was so brutal. The Spirit Hall and the Tool Hall put a curfew on fighting, and he almost made Hao Hai bleed to death. Who is he after all?"

When all the people left the room, Feng Biao muttered to himself with a darkened face.

Chapter 547: Comprehend

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

His hollow soul was floating erratically in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success.

The Teleportation Formation appeared with many large circles linked together. The outermost was made of Crystal Stone. In the spaces between the circles appeared the light condensed from some admixture, which could transmit the energy from the Crystal Stone.

A circle of Crystal Stone paired up with a circle of supporting light. There were sixty-six circles, including thirty-three circles of Crystal Stones and thirty-three circles of auxiliary light that guided the energy of the Crystal Stones.

In the center of the circles was a triangular sacrificial altar made of Ethereal Crystals, which had a mysterious, complicated formation.

That formation was the essential key to the Teleportation Formation!

This formation had many nodes and rays connected with each other to gather the power of the Ethereal Crystal at one spot. Rings of energy from the Crystal Stone around would urge and lead the energy from the Ethereal Crystal to create the instant space change, which was the teleportation effect.

There weren't many different arrangements between the sixty-six circles of Crystal Stones and auxiliary light. He only needed to pay attention to their locations, the size of the Crystal Stone to be inlaid, and the condensing characteristics of the rings of auxiliary light.

The most difficult arrangement was the sacrificial altar, which was made of the Ethereal Crystal. To be exact, the complicated thing was the formation carved on the altar!

Countless nodes of the formation looked like the starry night. Each node held the energy of the Ethereal Crystal, and there needed to be a precise distance between two nodes. However, the distances between the nodes weren't similar. Even if he wanted to learn by heart, it would cost much of his effort.

The nodes were connected to each other using rays, which were the power of the Soul Consciousness. So, he had to urge his Soul Consciousness to join the nodes together.

The hollow soul sank into the middle of the node to probe the ancient technique of the Teleportation Formation. Shi Yan was concentrating quietly to perceive the mysterious space of this formation.

His Soul Consciousness drained rapidly.

"Phew!" Shi Yan exhaled. When half of his Soul Consciousness had been consumed, Shi Yan opened his eyes.

The Teleportation Formation was wide-ranging and profound. While comprehending the formation, he vaguely felt that his host soul would sometimes have a resonance with the heaven and earth. His realm had a sign of breaking through again.

He was at the peak of Sky Realm, and his pure Essence Qi in his body had been accumulated sufficiently a long time ago. Now, all he needed was a flash of recognition, and then he could make a big step further, entering the Spirit Realm.

He got stuck at this pass.

This time, while he was comprehending the Teleportation Formation, his realm was increased a little bit. Although this growth was slow, he could feel it earnestly.

He had a feeling that when he could finally perceive the mysteries of the Teleportation formation, it would be the moment he entered the Spirit Realm!

Shi Yan took out five Original Soul Pellets, closing his eyes to adjust his breathing.

While his Soul Consciousness was being recovered, his mind was still tense, lingering at the previous location to learn and feel the mysterious features of the formation, quietly digging to its deepest layer.

He had his own experience regarding the subtle, mysterious characteristics of the Teleport Formation. After each time he had accessed the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success, while his Soul Consciousness was consumed rapidly, his realm was also increasing fast.

The Teleportation Formation was some sort of an Upanishad that used the true meaning of the most mysterious power of the space!

In the Sky Realm, breaking through a new realm would require the complete understanding of the powers of the earth and firmament. It didn't matter what type, but what mattered was the level of the comprehension.

In the Divine Great Land, warriors at the Sky Realm could use different kinds of Upanishad to break through their Sky Realm.

However, using the comprehension of the space power from the Teleportation Formation to break to the Spirit Realm was a precedent that no one had ever heard about.

From Sky Realm to Spirit Realm, using the comprehension of the power, he could break through instantly with a wide ranged growth. At that time, in the Spirit Realm, he could use the essence of the power's deep meaning at a profound level.

In other words, if he used the mysteries of the Teleportation Formation to break through to Spirit Realm, shortly, his understanding of space power would rocket to a high level.

In Spirit Realm, space power could become a source of his powers. Perhaps it could be the main force, which had more room to grow further.

Space power and time power, these two kinds of powers were always the rarest and the most difficult to master. Even in the Divine Great Land, no one had ever heard that anyone could control these two powers.

Blacksmiths had studied Teleportation Formation, but they didn't focus on increasing powers. When a blacksmith entered the Spirit Realm from Sky Realm, the power comprehension they would pay attention to was the deep meaning of fire.

No matter they were blacksmiths or alchemists, fire was the most important partner in the future. Understanding the power of fire could determine the grade of the fiery flame in their bodies.

The deeper understanding of fire powers they had, the stronger the flame in their body could become, which would help them refine higher graded weapons and medicine.

Fire was the foundation of blacksmiths and alchemists. Even if the space power was miraculous, it wasn't much valuable to these refiners.

Someone who knew the miraculous features of the space power but didn't master the Teleportation Formation must need a very particular situation to perceive this sort of power. This made many warriors who wanted to use the space power to improve furthermore from the Sky Realm find it impossible to enter that door. Thus, the possibilities that some peculiars could use the space power to enter the Spirit Realm were really rare.

Anyway, Shi Yan was absolutely of a strange kind.

The Original Soul Pellet was worth the name of the sacred medicine that could restore the Soul Consciousness. Not long after that, his consumed Soul Consciousness had been almost fully recovered.

Lin Ya Qi held a smile on her face. She stood opposite to him, feeling so bored she had to watch things from here and there while toying with a refining formation in her hands. She often checked him.

Having restored his sound mind, light sparked in his eyes strangely. Shi Yan woke up, throwing a glance at her leisurely. "Your trouble comes again."

Lin Ya Qi wasn't scared but quite happy at the same time. She shot up from her seat while giggling. "So good! I was so bored here. I was just hating it that they didn't come earlier."

Shi Yan was surprised. He adjusted his clothes and then got up, pushing the stone door open.

Cheng Ge was holding a narrow blue sword, which had the Cloudy Ghost and Blood Ghost coiled around the handle. These two strange creatures melted into the sword, revealing a deep blue of the ocean. Neat and eccentric, Yin aura and murderous aura piled up, exuding an evil, bloodthirsty breath.

Cheng Ge and Hao Hai were similar. They were both at the Peak of Sky Realm. However, Chang Ge had better powers and treasures.

"Cheng Ge!" Lin Ya Qi rolled her eyes while snarling, "I don't think I have any grudge against you, right?"

Chang Ge had a thin and long face. His eyes weren't big, and he was wearing white clothes. He wasn't considered good-looking, but his bearing was tender, which was much different from the others who came from the Devil Valley.

"Sorry. Elder Feng got angry, so he sent me here." Chang Ge held his fist, beaming a forced smile as if he had no other choice. "I don't dare to not follow my teacher's order. Miss Lin, please forgive me. Hey brother, I'm here to discuss only. I don't want to risk my life with you. Don't treat me like you treated Hao Hai… Don't beat me to near death."

"That Feng Biao old fogy, he does like to hide his shortcomings." Lin Ya Qi snorted, then turned to Shi Yan. "Cousin, Hao Hai's Feng Biao's disciple. He has a deep relationship with him. Now that Hao Hai got hurt badly, of course, Feng Biao won't let it slip away. However, Cheng Ge isn't Feng Biao's disciple. He's just a Joe. You have to control. Don't let him not be able to go back."

Shi Yan's brows convulsed while he kept silent.

He had used only one strike to beat Hao Hai, which was a lucky defeat. He was good at using wild energy impact. When his own power added up to the negative power, it was like finding the way to die if a warrior at the same level wanted to compete with him on using power.

The strike Hao Hai used was to pile up energy, using the strongest power to kill him instantly as fast as thunder and lightning. Bumping into him, Hao Hai's method was the worst choice.

Using power to resist power, under the circumstances that Shi Yan had used the formidable Thousand Hand Change, his power from his body, and the negative power, along with his Essence Qi bursting out at the same time, Hao Hai had no way to counter it. He got hurt severely in that instant. It could only say that his fortune was really bad.

Obviously, Chang Ge wasn't the same type of warrior as Hao Hai.

Chang Ge's Blue Ghost Sword had the Cloudy Ghost and the Blood Ghost. He could control the bloodthirsty and vicious aura, but he appeared as an elegant gentleman. People who didn't know him could think that this guy came from the Pure Land. His entire bearing gave people a vague feeling that they couldn't probe this man's identity.

This man knew how to hide his breath. Possibly, he could drift and move swiftly.

Facing this type of an opponent, the Gravitational Field was the best option.

While Shi Yan kept silent, he had inaudibly built three gravitational fields that normal people couldn't see, arranging them on his sides and behind his back, leaving his front unshielded.

If Chang Ge dashed towards him from the front, he wouldn't meet the Gravitation Field. In face-to-face fighting, Shi Yan wasn't afraid of anyone.

If he used some kinds of swift-moving techniques and attacked him from two sides or from the back, it would suit Shi Yan the most. Once he got into the Gravitation Field, if he hesitated for just a fraction of time, Shi Yan would give Chang Ge a defeat that was even worse than Hao Hai's.

"Please be merciful," Chang Ge held his fist. When his words faded, he disappeared.

Shi Yan's face changed.

Clenching his fists, his punches were like a mountain as they violently and arrogantly hit the ground.

BOOM!

Rock chips and dust scattered. The ground now got a deep fist concave, which was eye-catching.

A low shout arose from underground.

Swoosh!

A sword shimmered with gloomy blue light by the Cloudy Ghost, Blood Ghost, and a murderous aura slashed the ground, crossing the void. A cold blue light stabbed towards Shi Yan's chest.

Pfff!

A bloody flower bloomed on Shi Yan's chest as big as a thumb while blood gushed out like a stream.

Lin Ya Qi was frightened, covering her mouth in fear.

Too fast!

As soon as Chang Ge disappeared, no one knew how he got underground that fast, which made all the Gravitation Fields Shi Yan had created fail.

The sword light carried together with the Yin Qi and the blood aura that could pierce through any strong defense invincibly. People just saw the light flash and Shi Yan got hit.

The wound had numerous beams of Yin Qi on its cut. The blood aura was like a spider fiber, eroding his vessels and tendons quickly. An aching and numb feeling spread out in his entire body.

Poisonous aura!

Shi Yan's face became darker.

Chang Ge looked tender, but he turned out to be so vicious! This guy was good at ambushing with his hiding talent. He could kill people instantly within one strike, and even his weapons had poison on them. Chang Ge appeared friendly just to hide his instant kill strike.

Shi Yan took a deep breath. He had gotten angry now. If he didn't have the Petrification Martial Spirit, his chest would be bored under this attack. At that time, even if he didn't die, he would be hurt badly.

Basically, Chang Ge didn't come here to discuss anything. This was using all deeds to ambush and kill him!

"Friend, you're evil enough. I got my lesson indeed." Shi Yan quickly gathered himself. His eyes flashed with cold light as he arched his brows. "Come here, mate!"

Chapter 548: The second battle!

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Ming Mei arrived again. Under a tree shade next to the gravitation chamber, she stood there with a contented, smiling face. She was so excited.

Cheng Ge didn't fail her, indeed.

He was worth the name of the warrior who understood ambushing the best in this generation. With only one strike, he had wounded Shi Yan severely. This would surely save the face of the Devil Valley.

Warriors who were staying in the training courts near there showed up in silence. They were watching the fight there with great interest. Cheng Ge was the young expert of the new generation in the Devil Valley. Many people here knew him. They were boisterously discussing with each other and guessing when Shi Yan would lose his resistance.

Lin Ya Qi was confused. She shouted, "Cheng Ge is good at sneaking. Don't fall into his trap."

Shi Yan curled his lips. His muscular body gradually floated until he was around thirty meters from the ground. He cocked his head to look down.

Cheng Ge could hide himself underground! This variable was beyond his estimation, which made him pay a big price.

If he didn't have a strong body, he would have lost within one strike. The Devil Valley was always the Devil Valley. The ones who came from the seven old factions weren't soft persimmons.

The easy defeat of Hao Hai made him underestimate the others. However, through Cheng He's counterattack, he understood that he should never underrate the seven ancient factions, which had been standing firmly in the Divine Great Land for ten thousand years.

Cheng Ge didn't hurry to attack him again as he was hiding underground.

Releasing his Soul Consciousness, Shi Yan started to search underground, but he couldn't locate Cheng Ge's position. This man was truly a stealth assassin who was more dangerous than Hao Hai. Even under Shi Yan's sensing, he still could hide.

Although his Soul Consciousness wasn't completely pure, the way he used to utilize his Soul Consciousness was much profound than ordinary warriors. This was thanks to the soul Upanishads of the Demonic Sound Clan. At that abandoned area, he had learned many special techniques using Soul Consciousness from the soul Upanishads of the Demonic Sound Clan.

The Soul Searching Technique was the secret soul technique of the Demonic Sound Clan. Using the Soul Consciousness as a net, it was extended to every direction, then slowly retreated to see any creatures in the coverage range of the Soul Consciousness. However, his Soul Searching Technique couldn't locate Cheng Ge. This meant this man had something special to hide his Soul Consciousness.

Since he couldn't find Cheng Ge, he didn't hurry to take action, just waiting for Cheng Ge to show himself.

Hotshots who were good at hiding his aura would not linger at one spot; they would always move. He understood that Cheng Ge wouldn't stop, but keep changing his location constantly while gathering energy to prepare for a deadlier strike.

'He's waiting.'

Indeed!

Gloomy, dark shadows emerged one by one from the ground, as if they were sprouting, while a cold, bloodthirsty aura flooded the area instantly.

Cloudy Ghost and Blood Ghost!

Among the devil breeds that were nurtured in the thirty-six Terminating Caves of the Devil Valley, the Yin Soul Thorn belonged to the Cloudy Ghost, and the Blood-sucking Remembrance was a skill of the Blood Ghost. They were both soul attack skills.

Creatures without a tangible body were always good at using soul. The Cloudy Ghost and the Blood Ghost weren't an exception.

At that moment, a Cloudy Ghost and a Blood Ghost floated up, drifting in the void towards Shi Yan.

Yin Soul Thorn and Blood-sucking Remembrance from the Cloudy Ghosts and Blood Ghosts shot out towards his Sea of Consciousness all of a sudden in an attempt to disorder it instantly.

What Cheng Ge needed was only an opportunity!

Once Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness became chaotic because of the Yin Soul Thorn and the Blood-sucking Remembrance, Cheng Ge would attack Shi Yan with irresistible forces!

Each Cloudy Ghost and Blood Ghost was like the ghost shadow. They were vague, floating everywhere. Smell of blood and yin aura filled the whole space.

Shi Yan shivered, while his eyes showed that he was struggling.

'It's time!'

An electric current cracked the ground, thrusting towards Shi Yan. It was as fast and robust as a sharp knife.

The Cloudy Ghosts and the Blood Ghosts swarmed over like a rising tide covering Shi Yan, tying his soul down. Cheng Ge's attack didn't stop, jabbing into Shi Yan's chest in just a blink. Lin Ya Qi felt like her heart was hung by a thread. She knew the situation was bad.

At that instance, Shi Yan's dull pupils suddenly radiated with a glorious light, his face bright and shining. Flames like lotuses bloomed in the air dazzlingly and beautifully. However, they were scorching hot!

Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!

Each Cloudy Ghost and Blood Ghost turned into smoke. After a wind blew by, they vanished into thin air. Shi Yan cracked a smile which was as sharp as a blade, cold and dangerous.

BOOM!

The Death and Life Seals were released, piling up. Death intent domain expanded, as the trees and grass in the manor started to shrivel and die.

Cold light dots exploded like fireworks, flying everywhere like shattered stars in the sky.

The Death and Life Seals had many cold light dots. Under the death intent domain, the destructive power slaughtered and erased everything that was covered under that cold light.

Cheng Ge was exposed.

He was holding the Blue Demon Sword, his face frightened as he was trying to retreat.

Three Gravitational Fields combined into one, and activated at once, covering Cheng Ge entirely.

Chaotic Essence Qi!

Cheng Ge seemed to see ghosts in daylight. His silhouette flickered in midair like a dying candle.

Shwoosssh!

A ray entered the Gravitational Field, intruding Cheng Ge's body.

Rumble Rumble Rumble! Crack Crack Crack!

Cripsy explosions echoed continuously inside Cheng Ge's body, just like the fireworks getting ignited.

Inside the Gravitational Field, Cheng Ge was rolling like a ball, his body covered in blood.

Thud!

Cheng Ge fell. His eyes were disordered, as he didn't have even a bit of energy. Half of the bones in his body were broken, and he was dying.

Ming Mei was filled with fear.

"The second one." Light flashed as Shi Yan reappeared. He frowned at Lin Ya Qi and got back to the gravitational chamber.

Lin Ya Qi dropped her jaw as she was struck, unable to understand anything.

Cheng Ge was defeated like that? It was simply a bewildering defeat!

No one knew what had happened. They only thought that Cheng Ge had made a big mistake during the battle and had lost the control of his body.

Only Cheng Ge knew that he didn't make any mistake, but was dragged into a gravitation field that snatched the control of his body.

However, he couldn't talk as he had fainted.

Ming Mei fell into a deep fear. Seeing Shi Yan disappear into the room, she cried in panic, rolled her eyes at Lin Ya Qi and then carried Cheng Ge on her back, flying away. Cheng Ge was hurt badly, even worse than Hao Hai!

Hao Hai had wounds on his skin and flesh, while Cheng Ge had his tendons and bones broken, which was really hard to treat.Spirit Potion Valley…

When Ming Mei dragged the dying Cheng Ge towards Feng Biao, Feng Biao was complete enraged. Cheng Ge's wounds were so severe that even if he could recover his bones, it would leave sequelae. Later on, it would be strenuous for him to reach the higher realms. He didn't have the Immortal Martial Spirit after all.

Feng Biao's face became more ferocious after sensing the young man for a while. Listening to Ming Mei narrating, he suddenly shouted, "Lie Feng!"

Lie Feng walked in with a darkened face. He was about to burst out but when he glared at Cheng Ge, then exclaimed in fear.

"Do you need me to explain furthermore?" Feng Biao grunted. Lie Feng nodded, answered him quietly, "I got it."

The relationship between him and Cheng Ge was really good. When they were in the thirty-six Terminating Caves, Cheng Ge was his most persistent little brother. He was also a rare good friend.

Even if he didn't care about the prestige of the Devil Valley, since they were friends, he couldn't just stand and stare.

"I want him to die!" Feng Biao clenched his jaw like a ferocious beast. "You don't need to bother with the curfew by the Spirit Hall and Tool Hall. This time, I want to see his body! If any bad consequences happen, I will bear them all!"

Lie Feng's red tongue moistened his lips. His narrow eyes were like those of a poisonous snake. "Relax. I'll drag his body here." After saying that, Lie Feng disappeared like a gust of wind.

Ming Mei was struck, chasing after him with astonishment.

'Let's see how you die this time!' Ming Mei thought hostilely.In front of the gravitational room, more than ten warriors of the Precious Tool Valley were discussing quietly while looking at the room with an admiring and respectful face.

The battle between Shi Yan and Cheng Ge had spread out all over the Precious Tool Valley as fast as a thunderbolt. Many warriors who had nothing to do got stirred up hearing this news. They gathered here with great interest.

Everyone knew that the Devil Valley was tough.

First, Shi Yan had beaten up Hao Hai, then he smashed Cheng Ge's bones. Such malicious deeds were crueler than even the Devil Valley's. The ones who had the guts to provoke the Devil Valley's authority were all from the seven ancient factions. However, even if he were from the seven ancient factions, he shouldn't do such horrendous deeds.

Who was he? Why did he dare to do so?

Those people couldn't help but think about that vision. All wore an excited face, waiting for the next event to happen.

Everyone knew that the Devil Valley wouldn't let things slip away like that. They also knew that there was a devil kind called Lie Feng among the young hotshots of the Devil Valley who came here this time.

Lie Feng's strength and brutal characteristics were famous in the entire Divine Great Land!In the north of the Precious Tool Valley, at the exclusive area of the Radiant God Cult, a line of good-looking talents was listening to Elder Xue Mu lecturing about the features of the dead souls. All of a sudden, a surprised scream came from outside.

Xue Mu frowned, threw a glance there while his Soul Consciousness was moving, listening attentively.

"A young man hurt Cheng Ge and Hao Hai badly. His deed was brutal. We'll have a good show it seems." Xue Mu talked to Yu Le in front of him, his face terrified. "You take your brothers and sisters to check it out. Li Feng will show up, I assume. You fought with Lie Feng that year without a final result. I think you should take this opportunity and check out his current competence."

Yu Le was surprised. He nodded, then took some young hotshots of the Radiant God Cult out of the place.The manor in the south of the Spirit Potion Valley…

Elder Ya Lie of the Pure Land acted the same with Xue Mu as he was assigning the pride of the Pure Land – Luo Yue.

"What's his name?" Luo Yue was wearing a dark purple robe, his face moved. "I know all the experts of the ancient factions. He could hurt Cheng Ge and Hao Hai, so he shouldn't be just an anonymous."

"I have never heard of him before. Maybe he's new," Ya Lie shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the man, either. Luo Yue was surprised, then nodded and said, "I will go there and take a look."

Some hotshots of the Pure Land's new generation followed him.News spread quickly. Not long after that, all warriors in the Precious Tool Valley and the Spirit Potion Valley received this buzzing news. They started to pack the space in front of Shi Yan's gravitational chamber.

Hundreds of warriors were like a cloud of grasshoppers, packing the space in front of the gravitational room.

The big war was ready to set off.

Chapter 549: If it's a must fight, then fight!

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Gravitational chamber…

Lin Ya Qi was worried, talking with a soft tone. "Leave the Precious Tool Valley. You can't stay here. Hao Hai failed, and then Cheng Ge failed. Lie Feng will take action for sure."

Shi Yan indifferently sat down cross-legged. He slightly opened his eyes and then frowned, "Lie Feng? Who's he?"

"The strongest of this generation in the Devil Valley. He's at the First Sky of Spirit Realm. People call him devil kind. This man's so evil and insane that if he feels irritated, he will slaughter massively," Lin Ya Qi said with a solemn face.

"Ah," nodded Shi Yan, "Let him come."

After he had reached the Third Sky of Sky Realm, Shi Yan's confidence was abundant. Although he wasn't too arrogant, it helped him not to be afraid of the Spirit Realm warriors, especially those who were just one realm higher than him.

The Spirit Realm and the Sky Realm were one whole realm away from each other. The gap between the two realms was like a deep and vast canal to ordinary warriors.

But that didn't include him.

Being a man who had three different types of martial spirits, a strong physique, and the ability to urge the negative energy, he had many tricks. Even if he had to battle with Spirit Realm warriors, he wasn't too afraid.

As the strange creatures like the War Devil, the King of Demonic Insects, the Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame and the Holy Spirit God were with him, he didn't need to worry about his life. Thus, he got just a little bit anxious.

The opponent just had the Spirit Realm cultivation base. Would he have the power that goes against the natural order?

Lin Ya Qi was quite discontented with his manners. She kept muttering and begging him to leave, her face worried.

"Where to go?" Shi Yan couldn't help but smile. "At this moment, the Dead Soul Mountain range's a dangerous place. Once I leave the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley, and enter the mountain range which is full of dead souls, I will die sooner. Although Lie Feng's excellent, will he dare to kill me?"

"He does dare!" Lin Ya Qi was hurried. "I told you, he's a madman. The curfew of the Precious Tool Valley and the Spirit Potion Valley can prevent the others, but not him."

Shi Yan was stunned. He hesitated for a while and then spoke up with an icy cold visage, "If he dares, I can always show him how dangerous I am."

Shi Yan wasn't afraid of the Devil Valley.

The seven ancient factions were strong but they didn't have any ties with him. He was alone in this vast Divine Great Land. He just needed to find a secret place and hide there. Even if the power of the seven factions spread out in every corner, they couldn't track him down.

He had no worries, no burdens or anything that could tie him down. At most, he could just leave.

Lin Ya Qi had advised him for a long time without a positive result. Of course, she got indignant and shouted. She jumped over, attempting to drag him out of the place, forcing him to leave.

However, at this moment, Shi Yan's eyes brightened. He dodged Lin Ya Qi and pushed her away.

Lin Ya Qi was enraged, her face anxious.

"The one you're talking about comes."Outside the gravitational chamber, many warriors staying in the Precious Tool Valley and the Spirit Potion Valley had gathered here, hundreds of them. Most of them were the disciples of the Pure Land in the Sky Realm. Some of them had Spirit Realm cultivation base.

However, those experts at the Spirit Realm were all old. They were hiding in the crowd, watching the event.

There were three exceptions.

Lie Feng, Yu Le, and Luo Yue.

They were the new expert generation of the Devil Valley, the Radiant God Cult, and the Pure Land. Under the intensive care and numerous cultivating materials, plus their innate talents, they had reached the Spirit Realm at ease.

God-given rare talents!

These three were famous around the Divine Great Land. No matter the previous generations or the young and good-looking new generation, they all knew these three.

Yu Le and Luo Yue brought their sisters and brothers standing in front of the gravitation chamber with great interest on their faces.

Lie Feng had arrived earlier. He didn't hurry, and just sat down cross-legged outside the room, closing his eyes and waiting for something.

Ming Mei stood behind him, her eyes sharp but radiant as she was scanning the room.

She didn't know what Lie Feng was waiting for.

A long time afterward, Lie Feng slowly got up, his leisured good-looking appearance swaying as he rose his voice. "My friend in there, have you relaxed sufficiently? I'm Lie Feng of the Devil Valley. I think you know I'm here already. I don't want to talk much. I come here this time to see your defeat. As long as you admit your defeat, saying that you surrender after seeing me, Lie Feng, I won't make this bigger."

Turns out he was waiting for that brat to recover.

Everybody was amazed.

Yu Le and Luo Yue seemed to disdain him, shaking their heads strangely as if they thought that Lie Feng was just hypocritical.

He was a Spirit Realm warrior and now he wanted to trouble a Sky Realm warrior. Even if he waited until he recovered, what was that for? Could the gap between the two realms be made up in just a breath adjustment?

"Lie Feng comes, indeed!" Lin Ya Qi was frightened.

Shi Yan stood up and calmly kicked the door open. Then, he came into the sight of hundreds of people.

"Surrender after seeing you?" Shi Yan felt amused as he shook his head. "You are not qualified."

Lie Feng's eyes became colder while a cold sneer appeared on his mouth. "Interesting. Well, seems I was too much concerned, right? Friend, you do have guts. So, that's how you could hurt Hao Hai and Cheng Ge."

"Aren't you here to take back the face of the Devil Valley?" Shi Yan arched his brows. "Why you are babbling that much? If you want to fight, come. Why you're so lengthy?"

Everyone was stunned.

Extremely arrogant!

An anonymous kid in the Sky Realm could be that arrogant in front of Lie Feng? He didn't know Lie Feng's reputation, perhaps?

"No!" Lin Ya Qi screamed ear-splittingly. She flew to the front of Lie Feng and explained. "He's a friend of mine. He has a good connection with my teacher. He has beaten Hao Hai and Cheng Ge because they had provoked us initially. You're a Spirit Realm warrior. Even if you can defeat him, it isn't a proud triumph!"

"I don't care what the others think about me." Lie Feng's face was sinister. He was smiling, but his eyes were as cold as an ice chamber. "What I mind, is this man's attitude to me!"

Boom!

A strong gust rolled Lin Ya Qi up like a big rope, tying and dragging her out of the battle range.

"You're that frank, so I shouldn't be wordy." Lie Feng laughed loudly, pulling Lin Ya Qi away as he strode to Shi Yan.

The hurricane ripped through, causing havoc. The sharp yellow wind blade was as big as a willow leaf multiplied by the number of thousands, rolling torrentially towards Shi Yan.

Inside the wind blade hurricane, beams of devilish purple-red light was extending inaudibly, as soft as cotton yet rigid.

Crack Crack Crack!

The greenstone, which was as firm as steel, exploded under Lie Feng's feet while rock chips scattered everywhere.

Howl Howl Howl!

The wind howled and reverberated. The hurricane was like a column dragging everything up to the sky. The rocks exploded as the hurricane pressed down, heavy as the force of ten thousand soldiers.

Shi Yan slammed his brows together. Under the whips of the strong wind, he was gathering his power.

Pale-hued flows of negative energy oozed out from the acupuncture points in his entire body, moving fast in his meridians and blending with his Essence Qi.

Bang bang!

The muscles of his whole body bulged. The power hidden deep inside his muscle fibers was activated instantly, surging vehemently.

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!

Wind blades shot out from the hurricane, darting to him from every direction. They were all brutal and fierce.

The gravitational room was two hundred meters squared, but it was smashed in just a blink of an eye. Pieces of rock were dragged into the hurricane, intensifying its power.

In the fluster of flying rock chips, the gravitational room was leveled. However, Shi Yan stood still like a ten-thousand-year-old rock.

The wind blades rumblingly stormed over and smashed down his Dark Light Shield, attacking his body.

A brutal, bloodthirsty, insane, and hateful thought spurted out from his body, which diffused in the whole scene with an aura of a real substance. Then, it exploded furiously.

Each wind blade impacted with that malicious aura around him felt as if it had ignited dynamite. Everything burst out blazingly.

BOOM!

He stomped on the ground, causing a tremor to transmit to Shi Yan's feet. His legs didn't settle down, but his power was pouring deep into the soil.

The hurricane stormed over, but it couldn't lift him off the ground. It could only spin around him, sending more wind blades to attack him.

The warriors watching the fight got stunned, exclaiming in fear.

Shi Yan had only the Sky Realm cultivation base, but he wasn't shaken under Lie Feng's Swarming Wind. This was inexplicable to them.

Since Lie Feng was a Spirit Realm warrior, even if he didn't use all of his power, the understanding he had of the powers of heaven and earth wasn't something a Sky Realm warrior could compare with.

Lie Feng was the pride of the Devil Valley, the bizarre evil seed that had escaped the thirty-six Terminating Caves. Everyone present here could sense the intimidating nature of his Swarming Wind.

Such powerful force couldn't lift Shi Yan to the sky, of course, it was beyond people's prediction.

"This man has a strong foundation. Dangerous though!" Yu Le's eyes brightened. "With only his build and the power of the Essence Qi, and without any treasure used, he can stay firmly on the ground like that. It's not something a normal person can do. Not bad. Not bad at all!"

Young men and women of the Radiant God Cult standing next to Yu Le were all startled. They started to discuss boisterously, their faces excited.

"Earth Origin. This is the resonance between the body and the Earth. Only the warriors who are specialized in using the Earth power can reach this realm." Luo Yue also muttered, "Although, it's not hard to control the Earth Origin, the young man here can stand firmly like that under the furious hurricane, which is rare. The power of his legs is overwhelming already."

The same comments arose from the crowd. People now looked at Shi Yan with more surprise.

"Interesting," Lie Feng cracked a smile. He wasn't surprised but happy.

He was a fighting maniac. As he could see that Shi Yan could play a big game with him, he became excited, and started to accumulate his power. The hands he had always hidden in the sleeves were finally exposed.Spirit Hall…

Li Zheng Rong and the four Grand Elders were discussing discreetly as they suddenly found a surging energy spread over from the Precious Tool Valley. All of them couldn't help but sense quietly.

"Some Spirit Realm warriors are fighting!" Li Zheng Rong shouted. He got indignant immediately. "We set the curfew of banning fighting already, but someone still violates it. Don't they know what situation we are in!

Then, Li Zheng Rong left the Spirit Hall, flying fast towards the Precious Tool Valley.

In the Tool Hall, Grand Elder Ke Da was also enraged. He furiously walked out of the hall, checking the hurricane in the sky. He suddenly screamed in awe. "It's Lie Feng!"

"Lie Feng didn't give us face"

"Who is he fighting with? Yu Le? Lie Feng and Yu Le don't get along well."

"Lie Feng doesn't abide by the rules, but Yu Le won't do that. It shouldn't be Yu Le."

"Let's go there and see."

"Let's go!"If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Chapter 550: Force meets force!

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The sun shone dazzlingly over the Precious Tool Valley. Under the orange-red sunbeams, the atmosphere in the valley heated up.

Shi Yan was standing in the middle of a training court with so many warriors surrounding. They all looked excited, discussing boisterously with each other and seemed to be all high.

Yu Le, Luo Yue, and their brothers and sisters had their eyes glued to the scene. They didn't dare to blink, only focusing on the battle over there.

Lie Feng continued to accumulate his power.

Hurricanes continued to shoot up the sky. They then combined together, creating the Swarming Wind, washing away things on the training courts.

Under the furious hurricane, the training yards were broken, smashed down as easy as breaking a dried tree branch. Warriors training inside hurled themselves out of the places, screaming and yelling with enraged expressions.

Lie Feng beamed a faint smile, ignoring all the bad comments and complaints from them. He only smiled at Shi Yan, who was submerged entirely inside the hurricane.

Wind blades slaughtered everywhere, flying like sharp sickles. Beams of light bloomed inside the hurricane. The aura it diffused was so sharp that it made people want to stay away from it as far as possible.

Shi Yan had no place to hide, and he didn't want to hide. His negative power was still urging… Second Sky of Rampage!

His mind sank into the Rampage Realm as he was calmly looking at the increasing power of the hurricane. The muscles in his body enlarged and shivered when many types of energy were fusing. His aura became densely refined.

Without using the powers from the Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, and the Holy Spirit God, Shi Yan had urged the negative energy and the explosive power of his flesh body to resist the attack from the hurricane.

He never showed that he was about to lose.

The bystanders revealed their terrified faces as they were astounded. They had thought that when Lie Feng arrived, with his Spirit Realm cultivation base, this fight would end shortly, and Shi Yan would be killed instantly.

But the result was out of their expectation!

In the hurricane's havoc, Shi Yan was like a small boat bobbing in the vast sea, which seemed to be about to getting destroyed at any minute while the risk was constantly increasing. However, after a long while, Shi Yan's 'boat' was still bouncing at the same spot, without turning upside down.

Everybody admired him.

"Man, you're good!" Lie Feng couldn't help but beam out a trace of respect. "Even the Sky Realm warriors from our Devil Valley can't achieve your level. Not bad, dude. That's why you're arrogant. Turns out you have absolute confidence. Good. Smashing your confidence will give me a great sense of achievement."

Demon Coiling Hands!

The two exposing hands of Lie Feng thrust forward fast. People then saw a lot of fading shadows shot out, turning into numerous soft, black hands, entangling Shi Yan. Hundreds of bizarre hands grew from his body like tentacles, swimming like snakes in the gust of the hurricane, approaching Shi Yan quickly. Shortly, those tentacles found their target inside the hurricane, coiling Shi Yan entirely.

The Demon Coiling Hands was the sacred level martial technique, a long-time-famous technique of the Devil Valley. It had absorbed the murderous aura of thirty-six Terminating Caves in the Devil Valley. The warrior then used his Essence Qi to refine it to be harder and more flexible at the same time. It was much dangerous than secret weapons.

Once it was activated, the Demon Coiling Hands were like the warrior's eyes, contacting with his Soul Consciousness. As long as the Soul Consciousness moved fast enough, the Demon Coiling Hands would wind the opponent's body when he didn't have time to react.

Shi Yan got hit!

Onlookers were stunned. They felt a little bit regret inside as they thought that Shi Yan couldn't resist it anymore.

At that time, Lie Feng moved!

He just swung his hands, and the Demon Coiling Hands covered Shi Yan's body, entering the hurricane. He then activated devil palms unceasingly, condensed many kinds of evil energies, and then struck down rumblingly.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

In the deafening explosions, beams weaved, shining like sparkling fireworks. Light dots bloomed out in the hurricane like thick shattered stars. The evil energy burst out, expanding everywhere. The power of the hurricane soared again, continually increasing the pressure.

Shortly, muscles in Shi Yan's body cracked as if he had gotten countless swords pierced through his body at the same time. Blood gushed out from his wounds like streams. The wounds were so deep that people could even see his bones.

It was so painful that nothing could compare! Shi Yan's eyes reddened, revealing a pair of blood red pupils. Numerous rays of light flashed.

Third Sky of Rampage!

Extreme bloodthirsty thoughts flooded his head. At this moment, Shi Yan was fuzzy!

Lie Feng was powerful, which surpassed his understanding. At the First Sky of Spirit Realm, Lie Feng had a strangely everchanging devil techniques. His power was pure but evil, and his understanding of the realm was much more profound than the other First Sky of Spirit Realm warriors.

When Lie Feng actually urged all of his powers and the limit that he could reach, he could even deal with the Second Sky of Spirit Realm experts!

Shi Yan had a wrong assumption about this man – he hadn't arranged the defense carefully and got bound by Lie Feng's Demon Coiling Hands.

Malicious light flared from his red pupils, as a thick scent of blood exuded from him, expanding quietly. Inside the blood mist rising in spirals, Shi Yan faced the sky and roared loudly. His voice shot up to the sky, as the power in his body was urged to the extreme limit!

A tremendous murderous aura shot to the sky from his head. Inside the dense blood mist, only the thought of slaughtering remained in Shi Yan's head. He had forgotten everything. The only thing he knew now was to kill all of his enemies!

No worry, no happiness, no fear... Only murderous thoughts rose like rising tides!

The Death Intent Domain was urged instinctively. A glum, tranquil aura inaudibly diffused, as if it wanted to destroy the entire world. Many trees in the training yards yellowed then shriveled at the speed that naked eyes could observe. Their roots crumpled. Insects fell one by one. At the same time, the Death Intent Domain also affected tiny creatures underground, but people couldn't recognize it.

Only the thought of death!

The Death and Life Seal was also activated! In the Third Sky of Rampage, the negative energy was released freely. Seven hand imprints which were as big as a whole room appeared and piled up on each other in the void. Evil, brutal, dead, and desperate thoughts quickly condensed inside the imprints, which doubled its power! The hand imprints fused, leading the murderous aura to the sky, then snatching down from high up.

No earth-shaking explosion, no majestic scene of shattering rocks… The training yard was quiet. However, a bizarre change had happened in this silence.

The hurricane was torn apart in the middle as if a sharp hand had cut it. In just a blink, numerous Demon Coiling Hands disappeared. Lie Feng's beautiful and practical demonic techniques seemed to be forced to stop. They were totally subdued!

His blood pupils shone the angry flame of a bloodthirsty beast. With blood scattering everywhere, Shi Yan aimed at Lie Feng, using the abundant power of his body to strike. Each hit of him was like it was used to break the mountain, with the energy surging violently.

In the Death Intent Domain between Shi Yan and Lie Feng, it seemed some invisible barriers concealed the two's aura.

Onlookers only saw the two of them flexed, then storm over like a thunderbolt. But, they couldn't hear the sound of their impact or sense the power of each hit.

Bloody fighting!

Blood streamed out from Shi Yan, which made him look like a bloodthirsty demon from the bottom level of hell. He had totally gone crazy! Light sparkled from his bloody eyes which scared the onlookers; they didn't dare to look at him in the eyes.

Lie Feng was affected as well. The power in his body was restrained. His accomplishment in the Spirit Realm seemed to be dragged into the abyss of death, as his confidence was nibbled bit by bit.

Lie Feng activated all of his powers. Numerous devil techniques that he had been cultivated exquisitely came layer upon layer. Devilish, ghostly light expanded immensely. Attacks that could make people dizzy arose constantly.

Force met force!

The two silhouettes entangled, wildly bursting out together. Light sparked like shooting stars. Sparkling and glorious, they mesmerized people.

Lie Feng didn't realize that his body was covered with blood now. Also, nobody knew whether this was his blood or Shi Yan's.

The more Lie Feng fought, the more astounded he became. He had never thought that a kid in the Sky Realm could use force to withstand his force. Also, he had never seen that human body could be fierce and robust to that degree.

Many kinds of techniques that had been imparted during thousands of years in the Devil Valley hit Shi Yan like hitting the most solid rock in the world. Sounds of metal impacting echoed constantly. The power of Shi Yan's body made him feel like he was fighting against a rock puppet, and not a flesh body.

Anyway, he could ignore this feature. The scariest feature of this man was his recovery ability!

Inside the court, he could see clearly that Shi Yan's body was covered with wounds. However, during the fight, he saw the cuts close and then get restored.

Wounds recovering during the fighting? What was going on?

Lie Feng couldn't believe his own eyes. If he hadn't seen all of Shi Yan's cuts restoring, he would think that he was hallucinating!

Unfortunately, he knew it wasn't his illusion. It was all real!

During the fighting, his opponent's body recovered quickly, and his fighting competence wasn't weakened too much from the beginning to the end.

Quite the contrary, his body got hurt badly, and he was bleeding. Gradually, he felt helpless. Inside the Death Intent Domain, his will was worn out. The confidence that hadn't been shaken before started to wear away. It was the first time Lie Feng found that in the Divine Great Land, there was a man in the Sky Realm who could fight the proud sons of God at the Spirit Realm like them.

This finding was like a hammer hitting him and suffocating him.

The battle still continued.

Bystanders couldn't see many clues from the Death Intent Domain. All the powers inside were twisting, not revealing their true forms. Also, they couldn't hear the ear-splitting impact, but only the two vague silhouettes.

Li Zhen Rong and Ke Da arrived when the fight was at its peak ferocity. They landed with grimaced faces.

"Teacher!" Lin Ya Qi called out tenderly. Her face was anxious as she was struggling under the whole-body-restraint of the wind barrier.

Li Zheng Rong snorted, then struck the barrier made by Lie Feng. He pulled Lin Ya Qi to his side and asked, "What happened?"

"Lie Feng's fighting with Shi Yan. Lie Feng has the Spirit Realm cultivation base , while Shi Yan has only the Third Sky of Sky Realm cultivation base. Lie Feng's bullying him!" said Lin Ya Qi indignantly.

Li Zheng Rong was surprised. He looked at the battle in the court. His narrow eyes squinted. Then, he couldn't help but shout, "Is that Shi Yan?"

Lin Ya Qi nodded continually like a hen feeding on rice.

When he arrived, Li Zheng Rong assumed that Lie Feng's opponent would be someone at his level like Yu Le or Luo Yue. However, this situation was fierce as if the participants of this battle had the same level. In the Precious Tool Valley and the Spirit Potion Valley, the ones who could fight face to face with Lie Feng were only Yu Le of the Radiant God Cult and Luo Yue of the Pure Land.

However, listening to Lin Ya Qi, Li Zheng Rong found that things were out of his expectation. Li Zheng Rong knew that Shi Yan wasn't ordinary. From the night Ye Chang Feng had returned from the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, he often complimented Shi Yan a lot.

However, Li Zheng Rong instinctively assumed that although Shi Yan was strong, he was just an extreme in the Endless Sea. So, when he came to the Divine Great Land, his level wasn't enough to be on the ranking list. But now, he knew that he had clearly underrated the young man.

Chapter 551: Blood Pupils

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Who was Lie Feng?

He was the demon kind that the Devil Valley had put forth all cultivating resources in to nurture him as he would become the master of the Devil Valley in the future. He had the Spirit Realm cultivation base, but still, he couldn't defeat Shi Yan instantly.

What was going on?

Shi Yan was in the Sky Realm. If he had the power as strong as a Spirit Realm warrior from the small families, he would be considered a special talent already. However, his opponent was Lie Feng!

Lie Feng exclaimed in his head that he had underestimated the opponent, and that he didn't see the real dangerous features of Shi Yan.

"Old Li, you know that kid?" Ke Da walked to him, his face surprised. "Is he your disciple?"

Li Zheng Rong snorted. "I'm an alchemist. I'm not good at fighting. Do you think I can train this type of disciple?" Ke Da nodded, sighed, then beamed a wry smile. "Oh, I say, if you have that sort of an apprentice, I would be totally convinced. Hey, who's he?"

"A kid from the Endless Sea. His natural endowment's really good. He used to go to the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist alone," Li Zheng Rong explained simply.

"Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist…" Ke Da was moved. Suddenly, he was swiftly excited. "Hey, the drop of Life Original Fluid that you got is from him?"

Besides the Tool Hall's blacksmiths standing next to Ke Da, there were alchemists of Spirit Hall on Li Zheng Rong's side. They all had their eyes brightened. Some experts hiding there also knew the miraculous effect of the Life Original Fluid. They were all thrilled like rabbits seeing carrots. They hungrily looked at Shi Yan in the court.

Li Zheng Rong blamed himself for being talkative. He hurriedly shouted. "Shi Yan's my friend. Don't plan your dark schemes on him. Otherwise, I won't stay idle."

Ke Da and his men laughed. Their eyes showed something, but they didn't regard him.

Li Zheng Rong's brow slammed together. He had so many worries. Ke De and Li Zheng Rong were all here, so no one dared to talk about the curfew. All were astounded on seeing Shi Yan's competence. They wanted to see Shi Yan's real abilities, to which level he could reach.

The battle continued.

Inside the hurricane and the Death Intent domain, Lie Feng was urging so many types of devil techniques. But still, he couldn't defeat Shi Yan just yet.

A pair of blood pupils appeared dazzlingly inside the hurricane. People couldn't help but gaze at him.

After Shi Yan had entered the Third Sky of Rampage, he had only the thought of destroying all the creatures in front of him. He didn't have any other thoughts.

He knew many secret techniques, and after entering the Third Sky of Rampage, he didn't get weaker. On the contrary, his power skyrocketed!

This realm seemed to be able to promote all of his fighting potential abilities. The power of many martial techniques that he couldn't maximize under normal circumstances now revealed fully.

Lie Feng's muscles cracked. Just like Shi Yan, he was bleeding. However, he didn't have the recovery ability that went against the natural order like Shi Yan. Along with the battle, his power gradually drained. He had lost a lot of blood, so he often felt that he was about to faint at any minute.

Lie Feng knew that he couldn't stand for long.

Without twelve years of training ascetically in thirty-six Terminating Caves with the will of steel, he would have amitted his defeat soon. He was struggling to get out of the Death Intent Domain.

Xue Mu and Ya Lie were also anxious. They all felt that the fight in the Precious Tool Valley was too furious. This battle was more interesting than what they had imagined. Eventually, Xue Mu and Ya Lie flew out, getting to the position of the battle.

It seemed all warriors in the Precious Tool Valley and the Spirit Tool Valley had come. When they gathered here, they temporarily forgot the threat of the dead souls.

Boom Boom Boom!

Thick and dense explosions reverberated from the hurricane and the Death Intent Domain. In the middle of the loud explosion, Shi Yan and Lie Feng separated from each other.

The light in Lie Feng's eyes dimmed. Blood gushed out from him massively. He was exhausted, and not much power left in him. On the other side, the blood on Shi Yan clotted, as he stopped bleeding quickly. Under the scrutinizing eyes of hundreds of people, flesh and blood in his wounds moved and restored quickly.

His blood pupils raked over the place. He didn't gaze at Lie Feng, but conveniently killed a Nirvana Realm warrior who stood nearest behind his back.

This shocked a lot of people. They were cursing loudly while retreating.

Afterward, Shi Yan didn't stop there. He continued to kill the warriors standing next to him. Another three Sky Realm warriors were killed instantly.

Essence Qi started to move, entering his body through his pores. The ruthless, insane aura on Shi Yan's body was condensed more.

"He's crazy!"

"F*ck! You got mental problem? We are just onlookers. Why do you attack us?"

"You fool. Don't you see that he's in the Bedevilment state?"Many warriors got terrified. They started to move as fast from Shi Yan as possible. They were cursing under their breath, but none of them dared to attack Shi Yan, as they were afraid that they would be his next targets.

On the other side, Lie Feng was panting far from Shi Yan. His breath was short and heavy. He was exhausted, and didn't want to continue.

Lie Feng's state was way too bad. He knew that if he wanted, he could use the most sinister secret technique of the Devil Valley to stimulate his power to another realm for the second time.

However, if he did that, he would become much weaker than now. Or, it could leave him some bad sequelae, which he wasn't sure he could recover fully from.

He didn't dare.

He and Shi Yan didn't have any big grudge. He had spent too much in this battle. If he wanted to risk his life with Shi Yan, even if he won, he already knew the big price he had to pay for this victory.

The most important thing was that even if he had to urge the evil mystique, he didn't have the absolute confidence.

Thus, seeing Shi Yan was like a wolf storming into the sheep herd, slaughtering the crowd, he didn't continue to attack him, just stood and stared indifferently.

Whose disciple was this kid? Why was he so dangerous?

Lie Feng was dizzy. He was secretly scared because of the power Shi Yan had brought out.

"Stop him!" Someone shouted among the crowd. "He's completely insane. If we don't kill him, he'll kill us! He's a madman. We can't let him massacre us like that!"

Ke Da hesitated for a while. He couldn't help but shout, "Don't kill him. Get him!" At this moment, Xue Mu and Ya Lie arrived. They then saw Shi Yan with his wild expression, chasing and killing the other warriors. Their faces changed. They inquired around for brief information, and couldn't help but be ere terrified. They didn't expect that things would escalate to this point. They could never imagine that Shi Yan could be so intimidating that he would make Lie Feng pay a big price.

"If we don't eliminate him, the two valleys will never be peaceful again," Feng Biao said with a cruel face. He didn't wait for Ke Da and Li Zheng Rong, immediately heading towards Shi Yan.

Everybody was stunned, as they were cursing Feng Biao in their heads.

Feng Biao was a Third Sky of Spirit Realm expert!

An expert at the threshold of the True God Realm wanted to fight with a Sky Realm warrior in his bedevilment state. Although they didn't like Shi Yan, still, they thought Feng Biao was going too far.

Instantly, people understood that Feng Biao wanted to take revenge for his disciple Hao Hai. Since his apprentice was hurt badly, being a high-class expert in the Devil Valley who always focused on his face, he should be enraged and take revenge for his disciple. It was fairly reasonable.

However, he was availing himself of this situation, wasn't he?

"Feng Biao! He's my friend!" Li Zheng Rong roared as he wanted to come forward and stop the other. "If you want to touch him, you'll be my enemy!"

"He's insane! He's killing innocent people! He's crazier than the Devil Valley's disciples! If you want to protect him, you're going against the whole valley." Feng Biao raised a big accusation. He didn't talk more, aiming at Shi Yan.

However, at this moment, Shi Yan's blood pupils seemed to recognize the danger. The trace of being conscious appeared deep inside his wild eyes.

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!

Light shot out from the Blood Vein Ring. After they had sensed their master's summons, War Devil, Ghost Hunter, King of Demonic Insects, Ice Cold Flame, Earth Flame, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm got out, besieging Feng Biao instantly.

A pitiful scream sounded.

Feng Biao faced the sky, spurting out blood. He was blown away from in front of Shi Yan. A stream of blood arched in the sky eccentrically, which made everyone shiver in fear.

The training yard was completely silent. Everybody dropped their jaw.

The majestic Ghost Hunter hovered in the air, taking Shi Yan on its back and soaring up to the sky while tearing the wind. Immediately, they were flying far away from the Precious Tool Valley.

The King of Demonic Insects, the Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm followed behind them right away.

The War Devil came last. An earth-destroying aura flooded the whole valley from him, filling each tiny corner.

Xue Mu, Ya Lie, Li Zheng Rong, and Ke Da were frightened. They couldn't do anything but watch the Ghost Hunter take Shi Yan away. They didn't dare to do anything at all.

Feng Biao hadn't fallen to the ground even as blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth. He had gotten hurt severely.

Feng Biao was a Third Sky of Spirit Realm expert! Among the warriors in the valleys, Feng Biao was one of the strongest. But he was wounded in just a blink of an eye. What kind of force could do that to him?

Everyone felt terrified, looking at Shi Yan flying away. No one dared to say anything about killing him again.

"Ice Cold Flame, Ten-thousand-year Earth Flame, the level 8 demonic beast the corpse-eating insect…" Ke Da muttered as he was absentminded. "Heaven Flame, the Earth Flame… They are the godly treasures to refine weapons. Why does this man have such luck?"

All blacksmiths and alchemists in the valley had their eyes reddened, their breath short and heavy. No matter it was the Ice Cold Flame or the Earth Flame, they were the fiery flames that the blacksmiths and the alchemists had been dreaming of for their whole life!

Any alchemist and blacksmith who had these two flames, their attainments in refining medicine and forging weapons would bounce to another new realm.

To the alchemists and blacksmiths, the flame was the most precious treasure. When they had an excellent flame, the future of their career would be lit up.

"Old Li, who's he after all? He has the Life Original Fluid, the Ice Cold Flame and the ten-thousand-year Earth Flame, and even the King of Demonic Insect! I don't know which God King's inheritance he has gotten." Ke Da beamed a bitter smile, looking at Li Zheng Rong while gulping continually.

"How can I know that?" Li Zheng Rong also goggled. Everything that happened today had gone beyond his estimation.

Shi Yan's performance had scared him.

"Where is that b*stard Ye Chang Feng?" Li Zheng Rong asked through his gritted teeth. He knew that Ye Chang Feng would know Shi Yan's profile.

"I don't know," Lin Ya Qi shook her head.

"Whatever method you use, find that brat for me. Tell him to use the Sound Stone and call me!" shouted Li Zheng Rong.

Lin Ya Qi nodded with a frightened countenance. She seemed to not have yet recovered from Shi Yan's intimidation.

Chapter 552: Self-torture

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The North-West of the Dead Soul Mountain range, in an isolated peak...

Shi Yan sat cross-legged on the summit. The blood-red hue in his pupils faded as his original countenance restored.

The War Devil, the Ghost Hunter, the Ice Cold Flame, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Holy Spirit God were hovering around, guarding him in silence in case some danger came suddenly.

The moonlight was like silvery water, shining all over him. Tiny stars twinkled, decorating the night sky. Starlight condensed and then poured on him silently.

Shi Yan stood upright. After four hours, he opened his eyes, taking in a deep breath.

His energy had been restored. After the recovery period, his cruel mood had been calmed down. His Sea of Consciousness was like a shiny mirror lighting everywhere.

It was now a peaceful and harmonious zone.

The Ice Cold Flame sent him its thought, "Are you alright?"

Shi Yan smiled and nodded, "Yeah. I didn't expect that I had to urge the Third Sky of Rampage in that battle. Lie Feng isn't a typical person, indeed. He's worth the new generation of experts of the Devil Valley. Really a genius."

Lie Feng was a devil kind who would inherited the great path of the Devil Valley in the future. He had spent many years to cultivate in thirty-six Terminating Caves, so his understanding of the secret techniques of the Devil Valley made him the most prominent young expert of the Divine Great Land. Although he didn't use the secret treasures of the Devil Valley, his power was still formidable.

Shi Yan could take the upper hand over him thanked to the arduous training he had given himself these recent years.

The negative energy, the explosive power of his flesh body, the refined Essence Qi, and his complicated, mysterious martial techniques had pushed his overall strength to an even greater extreme point than that of the others.

"It's good that you're alright. When you left, many people wanted to hurt you." The Ice Cold Flame simply described the appearance of the onlookers at that time in the Precious Tool Valley.

Shi Yan's face was cold. He snorted as he got it.

'Peasants are innocent. Wearing jade, you're guilty.' Not only he had the Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, but also the devil breeds like the King of Demonic Insects. To the warriors in the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley, he was mysterious. It was typical that people would desire the treasures someone had.

Shi Yan understood that after that fight, his name would be spread out fast in the entire Dead Soul Mountain range. And, of course, he couldn't hide the fact that he had many treasures on his body.

If it weren't the intimidating aura from the strange creatures like the War Devil or the Ghost Hunter, those people in the valley would have killed him right on the spot.

It was human nature. The world of the warriors was filled with greed and snatching. Many of them couldn't avoid the desires deep in their hearts.

To be honest, if he knew someone with so many great treasures like that, he would have some dark thoughts and secretly plan his wild scheme to get them himself.

There were many experts from the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, and the Devil Valley. Also, there were the alchemists and blacksmiths like Li Zheng Rong and Ke Da. Hotshots there were as many as clusters of cloud in the sky. If they wanted to capture him, returning there meant turning himself in.

Moreover, the hotshots staying in the two valleys weren't only these people.

According to Lin Ya Qi, not long afterward, True God Realm warriors of the Radiant God Cult, the Pure Land, and the Devil Valley would arrive. Then, a bloody war with the dead souls would begin. At that time, the Dead Soul Mountain range would become a massive battlefield that no one could ignore.

If he still stayed in the valley, even the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter couldn't give him the secure feeling. So, it would be better to leave earlier.

Even though the dead souls were dangerous, as long as he did his best to avoid them, it was possible to hide away. This mountain range was so vast with so many mountains. He just needed to find an isolated mountain and stay there for one year or so to cultivate. It shouldn't be a tough job.

He needed time.

Meditating on the summit, Shi Yan assessed the situation quietly. Long after that, he made up his mind.

"I want to find a safe, remote area to cultivate ascetically for a while in this mountain range." Shi Yan sent the message to the Ice Cold Flame. "Which place is good for me?"

"It isn't bad to stay here. I've sensed around. There's no dead soul in this area."

"Good, then we'll stay here."

Shi Yan stood up, releasing his Soul Consciousness to hundreds of miles around. Indeed, there was no sign of dead souls. He relaxed his tense nerves.

Next, he dug a cave, got in there and then used the thick, heavy rock to seal his cave.

While he was fighting with Lie Feng, he had lost his mind and killed some warriors, whose Essence Qi had been absorbed into his body. After refining, their Essence Qi was now fused with him completely.

At this moment, Shi Yan had reached the peak again, and the strange energy in his muscles was supplemented.

"There're some beasts in the mountains around here. Further than that, there're some cultivating materials we can use. We can go out and stretch the body for a while." Apparently, the Ice Cold Flame had become the spokesman of the strange creatures living with him. "Staying with you all the time isn't always good for our continual growth."

Shi Yan was amazed. He pondered then nodded. "You guys should be careful."

He opened the stone door.

The Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, and the Holy Spirit God flew out. The Holy Spirit God had used the white skeleton clone of Bo Xun to be its real entity. The clone had shining jade-like bones. Its speed was relatively slow, and they could hear the cracking from the joints when it was moving.

It had spent a lot of effort to train this ancient body in the Blood Vein Ring. However, in its current situation, it needed more time to completely adapt to this skeleton.

The Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm were hesitant for a while, then also flew away.

Shi Yan was bewildered looking at the three strange creatures flying away. He didn't get a clue. Perhaps, these three tangible beings liked the Dead Soul Mountain range?

Only the War Devil stayed to guard him.

Shi Yan frowned, then contemplated for a while. When he was about to use the Original Soul Pellet to restore his Soul Consciousness, all of a sudden, he found that the Five Devils in his Sea Consciousness were agitated too.

"You guys..."

After one time of transformation, their intelligence had started to develop. Although they couldn't talk directly to him, they could send him some vague thoughts.

The Five Devils also wanted to go out for a while.

Shi Yan could sense the thoughts from the Five Devils pretty clearly. He was astounded for a while, then he nodded with a forced smile. "Be careful. Those dead souls are the best nutrition, but they aren't idiotic. If you meet the high-level ones, you can't swallow them."

The Five Devils turned into five gloomy beams of gray light, silently disappearing without leaving a trace.

The connection between him and the Five Devils wasn't cut off. Within hundreds of miles, he could always know the exact location and thoughts of the Five Devils.

However, if the Five Devils moved farther, the connection between them would weaken.

The situation of the Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, the King of Demonic Insects, the Ghost Hunter, and the Holy Spirit God was the same as the Five Devils. These living beings had their souls linked with his Immortal Blood, which created a miraculous connection with him. However, this connection wasn't invariable.

When the distance between them reached a certain limit, the connection would be weakened until it disappeared completely.

Long after that, Shi Yan had lost the whereabouts of all of these creatures. His host soul couldn't sense anything, and his Soul Consciousness couldn't form a connection.

Shi Yan suddenly felt empty and lost.

The lonely emotion swelled up in his heart that he couldn't control or wash it away.

Along his journey, these living beings rarely left him. Gradually, he had considered them part of his life, and he had treated them as family members and comrades.

Being with them, Shi Yan had never felt lonely, never had the feeling that he was fighting alone.

All of a sudden, when these strange creatures left him one by one, he immediately had some strange thoughts as he felt empty. It was like something very important to his life was about to leave him.

Although he knew that they wouldn't go for a long time, he was still worried. It was like a father seeing his children leaving home. He would miss them and worry about them, always afraid that they would meet unexpected situations.

The existence of this mood irritated his mind, which troubled him from changing his Sea of Conscious. Long time after that, he couldn't meditate.

Until the early dawn of the next day, when a wisp of dawn shone in the cave and lit up an area in front of him, he woke up and found that the dejected feeling he was feeling had been washed away at this moment. In just a fraction of time, his mind and heart became crystal clear.

It was a sort of mental maturity that had jumped into his heart all of a sudden. He seemed to understand the true meaning of life, and his heart was more open.

The Blacksmith's Secrets of Success flew out, floating in front of him. His Soul Consciousness connected with the hollow soul. His mind and heart fused together as he entered the location of the Teleportation Formation once again. He started to comprehend the miraculous techniques, the complicated, abstruse line arrangements. He completely concentrated on understanding the meanings in them.

The Teleportation Formation was the direct utilization of the mysterious space. It used the technique to lead the space power, using the nodes to urge the energy of the Crystal Stone, which would move things from one coordinate directly to another.

The Teleportation Formation in this Blacksmith's Secrets of Success could be considered the essence. All mysteries of Teleportation Formations were stacked in there.

Strange beams of light weaved with each other like a shuttle, creating the blinking nodes. The distance between a pair of nodes was different, but it carried the mission of connecting spaces. At each node, space energy was constantly rippling out like rings of light, which was the transmission of the supplement power from outside.

Shi Yan's mind sank into it as he forgot everything, wallowing in the formation that looked like the bedevilment state.

His comprehension of the truth of the Teleportation Formation became more profound by any minute. He eventually reached the threshold of the understanding of space power. Now, he could vaguely touch a beam of the mysterious space power through the formation of the Teleport Formation.Precious Tool Valley..

The group of Li Zheng Rong and Ke Da gathered in the Tool Hall. Xue Mu and Ya Lie looked at Feng Biao, who had blood all over his body. They exchanged looks but didn't know what to say.

The juniors stayed outside the Tool Hall. Yu Le, Luo Yue, and Lie Feng all wore stunned face as they were discussing with a low tone.

Shi Yan had made his debut outstandingly, which made the ones who came from the seven ancient factions feel the pressure like a mountain for the first time!

Shi Yan had only the Sky Realm cultivation base, but Lie Feng couldn't do anything to harm him. He even fell into the disadvantaged situation. Such event had terrified people.

"Are you sure that guy comes from the Endless Sea?" Ke Da rubbed his chin, his eyes disbelieving. "Has he been taught by any old monster here? We all know that in the Divine Great Land, it's not just the seven ancient factions that could teach such a formidable apprentice."

"He comes from the Endless Sea," snorted Li Zheng Rong. "Ye Chang Feng sent me messages. He said that that young man is from the Yang Family in the Endless Sea. Perhaps you have never heard about the Yang family. This family is the strongest force in the Endless Sea. They are not ordinary at all."

"Really from the Endless Sea huh…" Ke Da talked under his breath as his mental obstacles had been cleared. "Then it's easy. As long as none of those old b*stards have taught him, and if we show him our goodwill, we can move him perhaps, eh? I need one drop of the Life Original Fluid. I've been thinking about the True God Realm for years."

Xue Mu and Ya Lie had their eyes heated up.

Chapter 553: Repair rare treasures

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Late at night, Shi Yan woke up again from the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success. His Soul Consciousness was damaged badly. He was exhausted, but his eyes shone brightly.

He had used up all his Original Soul Pellets. The recovery of his Soul Consciousness thus had slowed down. However, he had perceived the crucial Teleportation Formation in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success.

He had a feeling that he just needed three or four times of accessing the book to comprehend the technique to build an actual Teleportation Formation.

However, without Original Soul Pellets, restoring the Soul Consciousness required lots of time and efforts.

It wasn't the way!

He considered, frowning while searching for the way to improve or restore his Soul Consciousness quickly. The items in his Storage Ring and Blood Vein Ring were raked through as he was trying to find a solution for this matter.

He noticed the bead which was shiny black, shimmering with a dark halo. It seemed to have a feeling soul fluctuations moving in the center. His eyes lit up as he felt roused.

Soul Gathering Pearl!

This pearl was the beast soul devouring bead. It could absorb the souls and purify them into crystal clear soul energy.

Soul energy was the power of Soul Consciousness. He remembered clearly that he had borrowed the soul energy of the Soul Gathering Pearl to create the Sea of Consciousness at Earth Realm. At that time, he had been able to sense the creatures around him.

The Soul Gathering Pearl had been damaged before, and couldn't be restored. However, according to the Ice Cold Flame, his Immortal Martial Spirit generated the Immortal Blood, which had a strange effect of repairing things.

The Immortal Blood had been created in his body. At the same time, he had comprehended the Immortal Rebirth Secret in the Immortal Canon, which taught him how to restore damaged things. As long as he could fix the Soul Gathering Pearl and kill some people, he could use the Soul Gathering Pearl to gather the power from the souls, then purify them to supplement his Sea of Consciousness.

'Haha!' Shi Yan couldn't help but smile cheerily. If he had thought about the Soul Gathering Pearl earlier, he wouldn't need Soul Restoring Pellets and Original Soul Pellets. With the soul energy generated from the Soul Gathering Pearl, when his Soul Consciousness got damaged, he could recover quickly. At the same time, his Sea of Consciousness would be enlarged.

The Soul Gathering Pearl flew out from the Storage Ring, falling into his palm. His Soul Consciousness flickered, and a cut appeared on the fingertip of his left index finger. A drop of dark ruby blood, glistering with a golden halo, dripped from the cut, falling onto the pearl precisely.

The Immortal Rebirth Secret was activated, as Shi Yan's blood in his entire body boiled up. Following his blood, his Essence Qi gushed out torrentially like rising tide. Essence Qi seeped into the Soul Gathering Pearl. The bead then flashed up as its dark halo constantly flickering. Then, he saw the Immortal Blood drop become more viscous, moving fast at the damaged area on the bead.

Shi Yan activated his Soul Consciousness. Flows of Soul Consciousness entered the Soul Gathering pearl, continually manipulating the trajectory of the Essence Qi to gather them at the damaged area.

A miracle happens silently…

Under the repairing effect of the Immortal Blood, the damaged area on the pearl was constantly refined. At this moment, the Immortal Blood became a repairing energy that made the Soul Gathering Pearl change miraculously.

The feeling of vessels connecting was sent to Shi Yan from the Soul Gathering Pearl. Shi Yan was shaken.

It worked, indeed.

Shi Yan was stunned and joyful. He focused whole-heartedly, using the Immortal Rebirth Secret to guide his blood and Essence Qi pouring into the bead to repair the damaged area.

Crack…

A clear sound echoed from the pearl as a strange suction force rippled inside the pearl. Shi Yan's host soul trembled as if it were attracted by some sort of force, wanting to jump off his Sea of Consciousness and into the Soul Gathering Pearl.

He succeeded!

Shi Yan laughed insanely as he shot up from his seat with an overjoyed expression. He held the Soul Gathering Pearl, feeling the wonderful energy fluctuations in it. The difficult matter that had bothered him a lot was solved easily like that.

Since this Soul Gathering Pearl had been refined and fixed by the Immortal Blood, it seemed to have become one with Shi Yan. Soon, the soul suction force from the bead lost its effect on Shi Yan.

Afterward, light retrieved into the bead while waves of soul suction force rippled from its center. Shi Yan was overjoyed. He didn't care that his Soul Consciousness hadn't been recovered yet, pushed open the stone door, and started to observe here and there.

It was a night without moon or stars. The darkness enveloped the place like a big black fabric sheet, covering the whole sky. Starlight crossed through thick layers of dark cloud, patiently pouring into his body. His heart was full of bright starlight as he was enjoying absorbing the energy from the stars.

He wanted to search for preys…

Shi Yan contemplated. Although he had the Soul Gathering Pearl, he couldn't solve his problem right away. Now, he needed to find the creatures with strong souls to draw their souls into the Soul Gathering Pearl.

Only when the soul was kept inside the pearl would it then be able to refine its energy. The more soul energy input, the stronger the refining energy would be.

Shi Yan released his Soul Consciousness, trying to sense for any preys he could put into the Soul Gathering Pearl. Three flows of living fluctuations rippled from an isolated mountain around three hundred miles from him. This kind of living fluctuation was chilling and evil, full of dead atmosphere, which gave people a feeling that it wasn't from humans.

Shi Yan's face changed. They were dead souls!

Only soul fluctuation from the dead souls could be that cold and evil. The dead souls wandered in the mountains, choosing their victims to take the souls. It could help increase their power or making the warrior's soul become a newly dead soul.

Dead souls were soul creature, and didn't have a tangible body. They were good at soul attacks and soul invading. Although their soul energy wasn't similar to human's, they were really powerful.

'Well, dead souls it will be…' Shi Yan smiled. He put the War Devil back into the Blood Vein Ring and then moved out of the cave quietly, flying towards the general direction where the dead soul's fluctuation arose.

Fifteen minutes later, Shi Yan arrived at a remote, mountainous area. Following the sensing of his Soul Consciousness, he found a hidden tree cave. Three gloomy, dark green, short-limbed creatures with skin like a toad that was filled with wrinkles and disgusting pimples stayed there. Intimidating light shot out from their icy-cold green pupils.

Shi Yan was terrified. They weren't hollow!

The three dead souls he had sensed had real bodies! Although their bodies were grossly ugly, they give people a feeling of being sinister and very dangerous.

The three dead souls found him. Three mournful cries of grievance that could tear his eardrum sounded. The three dead souls with their real bodies shot out towards him like three sharp knives.

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!

Amidst their suffering screams that tore the air, the wrinkles on their bodies suddenly got tense as their ugly green bodies became as rigid as steel.

Their short arms extended with sharp claws, which looked like the gloomy green blades.

Shi Yan's face stiffened. He immediately used the Dark Light Shield. Next, he urged his Essence Qi while the negative energy was oozing out from his meridians and acupuncture points.

Even though these three dead souls didn't have strong soul energy, their bodies were strong just like a spear that could pierce through space, extremely terrifying. He could confirm that the soul energy in these three dead souls was similar to the ones he and Cherry had met. They were some sorts of the weaker ones.

However, after these three dead souls had obtained real bodies, their power had skyrocketed. Only the strange energy in their ugly green bodies was equal to a Sky Realm warrior.

Dead souls knew best how to erode the soul. This meant these three dead souls with the real body could defeat typical Sky Realm warriors. The three flows of eccentric soul fluctuations were rippling robustly, hiding the thoughts of the extreme evil and cruel deeds, intruding Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness directly.

Shi Yan reacted timely. His host soul instantly released the fiery flame of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, cleaning up the strange energy that had just entered his Sea of Consciousness.

Bang Bang Bang!

Shi Yan got hit in his chest as if he were shelled by three giant hammers, and was blown away.

The muscles in his chest ached and felt numb for a while. Three flows of devil energy seemed like countless bacteria diffusing quickly in his body, starting to attack all of his body functions!

Shortly, his bones, blood, and flesh were all occupied by this strange energy. This aching, numbing, and chilling power flooded his entire body.

He couldn't gather his Qi! As his tendons and meridians were blocked, his vitality seemed to be drained rapidly. His power was restrained.

Shi Yan was panicked. His face changed as he hurried to urge the Immortal Rebirth Secret.

The Immortal Rebirth Secret moved. The Essence Qi of his entire body didn't flow through the vessels, but poured directly into his blood, using the blood to transport through his body. At the same time, the strange energy in his muscles burst out. His body was shivering, enlarging, and then shrinking.

Electric currents crossed inside his body at light speed. The eccentric energy from the dead souls in his body was washed away quickly. Gloomy green smoke was pushed out from his pores. He felt relaxed as his meridians were cleared again.

But Shi Yan was still tense. He didn't hesitate, taking out the Soul Gathering Pearl and strongly urging the energy of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame in his host soul. Flames shot out from his pupils towards the three dead souls.

Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!

The bodies of the dead souls weren't affected but their gloomy green eyes suddenly inflamed. Their will was struggling as Shi Yan's mental power had pierced through them, covering them with the dead magnetic field, destroying them gradually.

When the will of the dead souls was erased, three beams of green light shot out from their pupils. The Soul Gathering Pearl took them in. Three fine green fibers like spider web were refined while the Soul Gathering Pearl kept blinking.

Shi Yan's face was still cold. He exhaled deeply, his eyes dangerously solemn. The Soul Gathering Pearl received the souls from the three dead souls, but Shi Yan didn't feel happy. When the dead souls got a real body, their power was far beyond his imagination. If he hadn't reacted timely, and without his strange abilities, these three dead souls would have occupied him instantly. And, they weren't strong dead souls!

If they were the high-level dead souls, how terrifying they could be? There were so many dead souls in this Dead Soul Mountain range. When they were still in the hollow state, they were the dangerous existence that even the Spirit Realm warriors couldn't counter. When this kind of an existence got a real body, how formidable could it be?

While he was contemplating anxiously, in the dark shade of a mountain in the south, a dead souls' evil lair was moving towards him with their speed increasing over time.

The dead souls clung at the entrance of the evil lair just like countless ghosts and demons while showing their fangs and claws. Their soul occupying power started to move crazily.

Chapter 554: Dark Spirit Clan

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The dead souls' evil lair was like a living creature, shimmering in the air with a gloomy, green halo. It looked ferocious, as if it were searching for some victims to swallow.

Shi Yan was still indulging in the surprise caused by the dead souls, and didn't recognize the danger that was approaching. It was only when the evil lair was around hundreds of meters away from him that he finally realized its existence.

Dead souls clinging at the entrance of the evil lair looked like ghostly tentacles waving in the air.

Those dead souls packed the cave, which hindered Shi Yan's vision. However, the icy-cold, evil aura could storm directly into the deepest place of warriors' Sea of Consciousness, which could make them to instinctively give up all resistances.

Shi Yan cursed under his breath. His face didn't change as he used the Electric Shift and the Star Brilliance to retreat rapidly in the shape of a light ray.

In a short while, he was thousands of meters away from the dead souls' evil lair. Right when he had the distance, he immediately concentrated his mind, using the power of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame to filter the eccentric energy in his head.

The flame ignited, as the soul-devouring energy in his Sea of Consciousness was burnt off.

Shi Yan sighed inaudibly. Seeing the dead souls' evil lair approaching, he wasn't hurried. He quietly moved his energy, taking out the Sky-breaking Shuttle, ready for any case.

This dead souls' evil lair came strangely. It was quiet, and even the dead souls inside were hiding their aura, which would make people find it hard to detect them. If he hadn't reacted in time using the Electric Shift and the Star Brilliance to maximize his speed, he would have gotten trapped for sure.

The dead souls' evil lair was like a ghostly mouth, patient and persistent as it kept approaching him.

The evil lair accelerated. Now, it was like a shooting star chasing after the moon. It was zooming over too fast, crossing the distance of thousands of meters in just a blink.

An erosive soul energy diffused from the entrance of the cave, covering the entire ten miles around it.

The eccentric energy intruded his Sea of Consciousness the second time. Its momentum this time was fierce, as if it wanted to drain his Sea Consciousness and enslave his host soul.

The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame activated. Flames flew over in his Sea of Consciousness, burning that strange soul energy into ashes. Shi Yan continually retreated. He didn't want to check the change inside the evil lair, and used the fastest speed to get away from this place of trouble.

He vaguely felt that this evil lair was already occupied by the dead souls.

According to Lin Ya Qi, even though the dead souls' evil lairs kept changing their locations, they would not proactively attack the warriors or swallow them.

But this dead souls' evil lair wasn't like the others. It was strange as it had proactively released the erosive soul energy towards him.

Avoiding the evil lair, Shi Yan sped up and left the place. He flew for half a day and then chose a quiet place to cultivate.

He took out the Soul Gathering Pearl. The souls of the three dead souls were purified, generating the crystal clear soul energy that he could absorb directly.

Shi Yan conveniently dug a cave, got in, and continued to perceive the wonderful features of the Teleportation Formation.Dead Soul Mountain range.

From five different directions, five evil lairs were moving quickly towards the generation direction of the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley.

While they were flying at a fast speed, they would release the erosive soul energy whenever they met human warriors.

Under the eccentric effects of this strange energy, many warriors got paralyzed instantly. Their Sea of Consciousness was poisoned, and they couldn't maintain their body functions. After that, their souls were dragged out, getting pulled into the dead souls' evil lairs.

After they swallowed the warriors' sous, the five evil lairs swelled up a little bit, and their speed also became faster.

Three days later, the dead souls' evil lairs from the caves and corners of the mountain range appeared in a dense jungle behind the Spirit Potion Valley. The flying speed of the five evil lairs slowed down.

Each evil lair had many dead souls lingering at the entrance, among which, one evil lair had all dead souls with real bodies!

Right in the middle of that evil lair's entrance was arranged a diamond sacrificial altar, which was made of bones and flesh. The first dead soul that had a real body stood upright, walking to that altar. Strong energy rippled through it.

The diamond sacrificial altar was lit up. A strange, sinister energy was generated, multiplying in it.

At the entrance, countless dark-green halos headed towards the sacrificial altar, with which the halo from the altar became more blazing.

The other four evil lairs seemed to be attracted by the altar as they started to move towards it, their speed getting sluggish.

The dead souls with real bodies stood at the entrance of the evil lair, diffusing energy and pouring into the altar. The suction force that the altar generated became more intensive, pulling the other four evil lairs.

Eventually, the four evil lairs clung to the evil lair which had the altar.

The five evil lairs connected to each other with the adhesive force from the dark green halo. Next, they began the difficult combining process. In the center, the first dead soul that had a real body was constantly urging the energy in its body, increasing the suction force for the sacrificial altar.

The altar was made of bones and flesh. All of a sudden, blood splashed while flesh shattered everywhere. Under the expanding green halo, the altar crumpled.

The five dead souls' evil lairs fused into one.

A gloomy green ecliptic burst out from that evil lair after they all fused with each other. Numerous dead souls could be seen flying and celebrating in there.

The first dead soul that had a real body started to extend its limbs in the giant cave after the five evil lairs had combined. It was absorbing the evil green energy which made its limbs more ferocious.

The dead souls which already had the bodies scattered and started to absorb that eccentric energy.

Time flew quietly.

After an unknown time, the dead soul's evil lair shrank along with the green ecliptic extent. All of a sudden, rays of light bloomed.

Strange aliens with dark virescent skin and green tattoos on their faces struggled, walking out of the ecliptic. They had a humanoid appearance. Their eyes were all cold and sinister.

Their whole body was green, their faces had patterns, and their bodies were covered in thick and heavy armor, which seemed to connect tightly with their flesh as if it were an innate feature of their bodies.

These aliens had a vicious, cold aura. Resentment appeared in their eyes as if they had a deep grudge against every creature. They were all intimidating, appearing from the evil lairs then shooting towards the Spirit Potion Valley and Precious Tool Valley.

That massive dead souls' evil lair was like a battleship that was connected to them, flying behind.Spirit Potion Valley…

Xue Mu, Ya Lie, and Li Zheng Rong were discussing in the room when all of a sudden, their eyelids convulsed. They all felt fear rising in their hearts.

Ya Lie changed his expression in fear. He jolted up, jumping onto an observatory of the Spirit Hall and released his Soul Consciousness to sense everywhere.

Xue Mu and Li Zheng Rong also came to the place, extending their Soul Consciousness. Taking the Spirit Potion Valley as the center, they were spreading the sense far away.

Almost at the same time, their eyes showed their fear.

From far away, they saw a green light area as spooky as a green swamp. It was gliding deliberately, while the evil energy accumulated in it increased gradually.

"The dead souls!" Li Zheng Rong screamed in fear.

Xue Mu and Ya Lie didn't answer him. They all took out the Sound Stone, frowning while narrating the situation.

When Ya Lie was done, he used his Soul Consciousness to sense again, more carefully. Suddenly, he said, "It's not the dead souls. It's the Dark Spirit Clan. This dangerous race has finally rebuilt their bodies and struggled out of the foreign land."

Li Zheng Rong was surprised, "What do you mean?"

Ya Lie was an Elder of the Pure Land, one of the oldest factions in the Divine Great Land. Books in their sects piled up like mountains, which even had the secret writings of the whole era.

"In the Antiquity Era, there were many races in the Grace Mainland. Humans didn't simply rule the place like now. At some point in history, there was a race called the Dark Spirit Clan. Even if their bodies were smashed, their souls remained. In the ancient time, this race formed a powerful tribal clan. At their peak, they were much stronger than human warriors. They had many generations of experts and hotshots."

Ya Lie took a deep breath, "The Dark Spirit Clan was good at controlling souls. At their peak, many human warriors had their souls enslaved, making them their servants. In the Ancient time, when human warriors rebelled, a multiracial war burst out. After that war, the Dark Spirit Clan was almost uprooted.

"Under such circumstances, the Dark Spirit Clan decided to leave their bodies, using only the souls to escape to the foreign land. They then kept the big grudge against the race that won the battle. They tried to survive in the foreign land. It's been tens of thousands of years. No one knows what changes the Dark Spirit Clan has experienced in the foreign land. They have become more sinister and inhumane.

"The five dead souls' evil lairs are the space crack that connects the land of the Dark Spirit Clan, and also their barriers. The strongest experts of the clan had built these five barriers that year to prevent the other races from getting in their territory and their members from escaping the place. The stronger they are, the harder it is to get out of the barriers. The dead souls we meet here are the souls of the Dark Spirit Clan's members who had lost their bodies. But they have been changed after thousands of years…"

Ya Lie revealed the secret regarding the Dark Spirit Clan, which was covered in dust for years, with a solemn visage.

"None of us know what is in the foreign land inside the dead souls' evil lairs. But I know that the current Dark Spirit Clan should have something changed in the foreign land, which makes them more intimidating. They are hard to deal with now. Since they can get through the barrier, I think we have to use all of our forces," continued Ya Lie.

Li Zheng Rong was scared.

"I notified my Cult Master. He'll be here shortly," Xue Mu wore a heavy countenance. "The returning of the Dark Spirit Clan is related to the future of mankind. Not only my Radiant God Cult, but also your Pure Land, Devil Valley, and the other factions have to be careful. Once we're careless, the Dark Spirit Clan will take over this land."

"You also know of the Dark Spirit Clan?" Li Zheng Rong snorted.

"Although the history of our Radiant God Cult isn't as profound as the Pure Land's, we used to have some books of the Ancient times. We know something about that time too," Xue Mu answered deliberately.

Li Zheng Rong felt pretty uncomfortable, his face indifferent. He scolded, "You've lied to us all the time!"

"We assumed that this clan couldn't escape the barriers. We thought that they had lost many members in that foreign land, so they wouldn't want to invade us anymore…" Ya Lie was a little bit embarrassed as he explained, "As they are returning now, I've informed you immediately, haven't I?"

Li Zheng Rong put on a serious face. "It's because they are here already!"

"Quick!" Xue Mu clenched his jaw. "The enemy's threatening. We have to counter with all of our forces. Everybody should be cautious."

Chapter 555: Space changes!

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The dead souls' evil lair drifted slowly as it got close to the Spirit Potion Valley and Precious Tool Valley. Green light rippled from the evil lair as it was flowing towards the two valleys.

All the warriors present in the valleys were alarmed. As long as they were in the Nirvana Realm, their Sea of Consciousness became chaotic, and they couldn't control it. Their thought was pressed by some strange force.

Eventually, the evil lair arrived at the Spirit Potion Valley.

Members of the Dark Spirit Clan slowly walked out from the green light. They were like a cloud of grasshoppers overflowing towards the two valleys.

The strange, evil energy attacked first!

The souls of the warriors who had their Sea of Consciousness affected flickered like a dying candle. The power of their entire body was restrained.

Nearly one thousand members of the Dark Spirit Clan swarmed over the two valleys, attempting to slaughter.

Warriors at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm like Xue Mu, Ya Lie, Feng Biao, Li Zheng Rong, and Ke Da had built dozens of defending barriers. People then saw numerous rainbows appear in the sky of the two valleys. They were interlaced together, layers upon layers as rings of energy rippled.

Patterned green light shot out from the dead souls' evil lairs, shining on the defensive layers.

Even the True God Realm warriors couldn't tear these layers of barriers. However, under the patterned green light, they were like an iceberg under the dazzling sunlight, slowly melting.

All warriors in the valley were panic-stricken, their faces paled.

Xue Mu and the others were still strengthening the barriers as countless rare treasures shot to the sky, contributing their powers.

The green light was increasing the strange, evil energy. Their barriers were like thin papers, about to be ripped off.

"Ready to fight!" Ya Lie shouted, "We have to defend. Or else, everybody has to die! We need to resist for half a day and the rescue team will come! True God Realm warriors will help us! Everybody, we have to hold on until the end!"

Xue Mu, Feng Biao, Li Zheng Rong, and Ke Da assigned their people to put forth everything to withstand.

The evil green energy continued to attack them.

Eventually, the defensive barriers Xue Mu, Ya Lie and the others had built were smashed down.

Clansmen of the Dark Spirit Clan started their invasion, officially entering the two valleys! The bloody war has begun!

The weakest members of the Dark Spirit Clan had Sky Realm cultivation base. Their soul power consisted of many kinds of strange, evil energies. Right when they got in, they started to use the erosive soul power that they understood the best to attack the warriors in the valleys.

Warriors with Sea of Consciousness would be affected immediately as their powers would be oppressed wholly.

On the contrary, warriors whose realms were lower than the Nirvana Realm were unaffected by the green energy. They could still use their powers. However, warriors in such realms had limited powers. The clansmen of the Dark Spirit Clan didn't need to use the erosive soul energy to kill them.

The situation gradually favored one side.

Members of the Dark Spirit Clan had gained the upper hand right when they arrived at the valleys. They all looked cold and sinister, with intimidating power. They souls seemed not to have a split. Shortly after they had entered the valleys, dozens of warriors were killed.

Whenever a warrior died, his soul didn't scatter, but was dragged into the dead souls' evil lair.

The dead souls' evil lair was like a soul-devouring beast that opened its giant bloody mouth to swallow the souls. After it had taken in one soul, the evil energy emitted from it seemed to be increased a bit.

Strong warriors of the Dark Spirit Clan jumped in and entangled Xue Mu, Ya Lie, and the others.

Although Xue Mu and Ya Lie had the Third Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base and countless secret techniques, under the attack of the Dark Spirit Clan, they still struggled hard, revealing many shortcomings.

Members of the Dark Spirit Clan didn't have any treasures or weapons. Their bodies were their weapons. Engaging in the battle, their arms became as sharp and rigid as a blade.

Their whole bodies were covered in armor, with intimidating defending power. Normal secret treasures couldn't pierce through that armor. Basically, they couldn't hurt the clansmen.

Human warriors who came near them would be pierced through and ripped apart into small pieces.

Within fifteen minutes, the Spirit Potion Valley and Precious Tool Valley had lost one-third of their warriors.

The ones who remained were all the strong warriors of the Radiant God Cult, the Devil Valley, and the Pure Land. Because of the treasures, profound techniques, and their will of steel, they were able to endure in the battle with the Dark Spirit Clan.

"Run!"

Fifteen minutes ago, Ya Lie and Xue Mu told everybody to be persistent in defending. But now, they ordered to retreat almost at the same time.

Warriors who were still alive all ran away, using their max speed to leave the two valleys.

The dead souls' evil lair approached deliberately, hovering above the two valleys. Rings of evil green energy rippled densely like shower covering the two valleys.

Human warriors retreated disorderly, didn't dare to engage in battle with the Dark Spirit Clan anymore. They used their technique to flee away despite hurting their limbs. They just wanted to get away from this troublesome land as fast as possible.

The streak of blood light flashed as human warriors used the treasures to run away from the two valleys.

Members of the Dark Spirit Clan spread out from the two valleys, chasing after those who ran away.

A great rout!

Warriors in the valleys couldn't stand even half an hour, fleeing away, leaving almost one thousand bodies in the valleys. There were no living people in the two valleys now.

A part of the Dark Spirit Clan pursued the run-away, and the others stayed to search through the stores to collect something.

The Dead Soul Mountain range became a hunting ground where mankind was the prey.Shi Yan didn't know what was happening out there.

Inside a remote mountain flank, he was concentrating to comprehend the mysteries of Teleportation Formation, trying his best to learn how to use the space power. While his Soul Consciousness drained fast, his understanding of the Teleportation Formation become deeper.

Inside the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success, countless nodes were blinking inside the arrangement of the Teleport Formation. He gradually learned each part of it.

All of a sudden, his hollow soul jumped into the central formation of the Teleport Formation like a beam of light.

Countless symbols crossed his head. Some kind of understanding started to grow, multiply, and flood his brain as he was devotedly learning them all.

All of a sudden, light dots moved in the array of the Teleportation formation like living things, clear and smooth.

Flows of Soul Consciousness scattered in that stream of light. Shi Yan used the Soul Consciousness as the rout to cross the array like a shuttle to find deeper meanings.

Inside the mountain, space around Shi Yan suddenly twisted.

Space slits as thin as gossamer appeared around him, constantly swaying and twisting like snakes swimming. Multi-colored light emerged from the space slits.

Flows of bizarre space energy released from the space slits, entering his Sea of Consciousness, fusing with each strand of his Soul Consciousness.

Shi Yan hadn't recognized it yet. He stayed still at his spot, as he continued to study the mysteries of the Teleportation Formation. He didn't know about the change in his Sea of Consciousness.

The space slits around him widened, as big as a willow leaf. The power that twisted the space expanded from Shi Yan as the center.The dead souls' evil lair suddenly twisted in the sky above the Spirit Potion Valley.

Members of the Dark Spirit Clan packing the place inside all felt fear when they looked at that change happening to the dead souls' evil lair.

Space cracks similar to that around Shi Yan appeared near the dead souls' evil lair.

Shi Yan perceived the space power in his cave and unconsciously created a strange connection with the dead souls' evil lair. It seemed there was an invisible link between him and the evil lair via the space power that tied them together.

Space cracks opened around the evil lair as the dead souls' evil lair was getting narrow.

Members of the Dark Spirit Clan gathered at the entrance of the cave were dismembered by the space blades, but they didn't bleed.

More than ten pagans of the Dark Spirit Clan seemed to be cut off by numerous spaces. People then saw many limbs, heads, or even half a body in the entrance.

Their other halves or limbs seemed to stay in another space, which they could never find back.

All members of the Dark Spirit Clan panicked. They worriedly flew outside the entrance, trying to get the pagans in the entrance out.

The dead souls' evil lairs were the space cracks that led to the foreign land. It was formed by numerous stable space cracks, built by experts of the previous generations of the Dark Spirit Clan. At this moment, the dead souls' evil lairs were pushed by the new generations of the Dark Spirit Clan. They had used some secret techniques to break the space, combining five cracks into a big one.

They didn't know that their deeds had made the evil lair extremely unstable.

However, at the same time, Shi Yan was studying the mysteries of the Teleportation Formation and had accidentally urged the space power to form a connection with the evil lair, which was also made from the space cracks not far from him. This caused another change.

Clansmen of the Dark Spirit Clan were flustered. Pagans who were collecting something in the two valleys also got back while screaming. They stood and observed the evil lair from afar. No pagan dared to come near the entrance. The others who were at the entrance were struggling hard to escape.

All members of the Dark Spirit Clan, with or without a body, tried to get out.

The dead souls' evil lair stopped releasing the strange green energy.

The entrance of the evil lair shrank. Five-colored beams shot out, weaving in the entrance. Members of the Dark Spirit Clan who hadn't escaped yet had their souls and bodies dragged into different space cracks under the twisting attack of the space blades.

Inside the mountain flank, Shi Yan didn't realize anything as he was still sinking in his experience in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success.

In his Sea of Consciousness, flows of Sea Consciousness and the space power were fused. Each strand of Soul Consciousness seemed to have the aura of space power.

Gradually, his Soul Consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness seemed to turn into space slits too, appearing with a strange gloss.

His host soul swayed, moving back and forth like a shuttle inside each strand of Soul Consciousness. It was then warmed and nurtured with the new nature and nutrients of Soul Consciousness. Slowly, his host soul was changed…

Shi Yan was shaken violently.

The space nodes of the Teleportation Formation in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success were shining brilliantly like stars. All of a sudden, the light they emitted became dazzling.

The vague form of the Teleportation Formation in the Blacksmith's Secret of Success became real. His hollow soul staying there, perceiving the wonderful characteristics of the formation, suddenly got covered by the Teleportation Formation. It then turned into a bunch of lights, flashed, and then disappeared.

At the same time, the dead souls' evil lair above the Spirit Potion Valley had light flash in the entrance before it closed completely.

Chapter 556: Virescent soul sea

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Shi Yan felt that he was forced to divide into two persons.

One was his real self, and the other was the hollow soul. His hollow soul did have a vision, intellect, and it could move too.

Through the vague Teleportation Formation in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success, the hollow soul had gone somewhere, which ached Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness as he suddenly had a hallucination that his soul was split up.

In the vision of the hollow soul, Shi Yan saw a vast area, where space seemed to be cut open by some kinds of sharp weapons, with many fine cracks.

Those were the space slits.

Each space slit led to another strange world or the turbulent void. All of them were mysterious and hard to measure.

There was a sea made of floating souls in the foreign land. Those souls fluttered in unconsciousness, as if the nutrition in them was all absorbed.

This sea was dark green, and he couldn't see where it ended. At the space slit above the sea, he could vaguely see many dead souls. The dead souls in this strange place looked weak. It seemed they were affected by the chaotic energy inside the space slit. They were struggling to get out of this space.

This foreign land didn't have the sun, the moon or stars. The sky was immensely gray and without clouds. Only the twisted energy flashed and then vanished like the shooting stars.

Each dead soul here was trying to get out of the space. In the dark green soul sea, souls were floating around without the fluctuations of life. However, they had generated some kind of power that could urge the space power, which made the space slits shine like sharp sabers.

The hollow soul hovered above the virescent soul sea and observed the situation down there. It didn't know what had happened.

All of a sudden, from the bottom of the dark green sea, a flow of cold, evil will shot out. It seemed there was some sinister life that was swallowing all the energy of the bobbing souls to wake up.

Shi Yan's hollow soul was also affected, becoming weaker.

However, at this moment, a twisted shooting light beamed out from a space split near there. The hollow soul trembled, but then it was no longer affected.

The hollow soul didn't have the sensing ability like its own Soul Consciousness. It couldn't sense what was happening in the bottom, as it could only observe the situation indifferently.

Light flashed in the space slit near the sea. Strange, evil green energy constantly gathered into the sea. When ten or more dead souls gathered, the energy was drawn and poured into the sea.

Shi Yan's hollow soul observed everything attentively and quietly. It then saw more hiding dead souls, which were attacking the space slit.

The hollow soul observed, then suddenly understood something.

It was the dead souls' evil lair!

The space slit where the dead souls gathered connected to the Dead Soul Mountain range in the Grace Mainland. Dead souls guarded the entrance as it was the main canal for the dead souls to travel to the Dead Soul Mountain range.

This finding scared him, and his face discolored.

Shi Yan could never think that his hollow soul would be teleported into the dead souls' evil lair inexplicably while studying the mysteries of the Teleport Formation in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success, which led to this strange world.

In this world, the savage dead souls became the weak ones, struggling in pain.

The dead souls were hiding themselves in the space slits, using the power of space distortion to reluctantly get rid of the pulling force from that virescent sea.

Sometimes, he could see one or two dead souls dragged into the dark green sea when it changed its position, or the twisting force around it disappeared.

Once the dead souls were pulled into the green sea, their auras disappeared instantly as their soul powers were snatched away. They became the stupefied dead souls in the quiet atmosphere of death.

The dark green sea was trying to swallow all dead souls to strengthen and enlarge itself!

Shi Yan was frightened. After observing for a while, he found the abnormal situation of this place, in which the dead souls were like lambs about to be slaughtered. This virescent sea had enslaved them.

Flows of gray soul shot out from the evil lair one by one, discharging into the green sea.

They were human warriors' souls!

Another gray soul entered, also the soul of a human warrior. There were ten of them in total.

Once they fell into the dark green sea, those souls then soaked into the atmosphere of death. They went numb without any vitality left in them. Their soul powers then were taken.

When human souls were pulled into the place, the suction force of the sea would reduce. Sometimes, it released some sort of strange and evil energy, pouring into the dead souls and strengthening them.

This situation was bizarre…

This virescent sea would pull and swallow souls, including the dead souls! At the same time, it could release a green energy that could improve the power of the dead souls.

Shi Yan had watched everything for a while but he still didn't know the connection between the dead souls and this green sea. He didn't know why the relationship between them was so strange and complicated.

It seemed the green sea needed a constant supply of soul energy. If the dead souls gave it enough souls, it would gift them some energy to repay.

But when it didn't have enough the soul energy, it would swallow the dead souls to supplement the missing amount. It seemed the sea's existence consumed soul power continually.

While his hollow soul was carefully watching the situation there, space slits appeared more as if some kind of sharp weapon had cut the space open. Many beams of shooting light got out of the space slits, darting towards the hollow soul and getting into it.

The hollow soul seemed to become a space where flows of space power were crossing through it and disappearing in just a blink.

The host soul in Shi Yan's body...

The Teleportation Formation in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success glistered. Space twisted and changed.

Inside the mountain flank, space next to him cracked. A light shot out from there, entering his Sea of Consciousness. It then started to fuse with his strands of Soul Consciousness.

Changes happened quietly in his Sea of Consciousness…

Strands of Soul Consciousness were fused with the space power. Now, they could cross the distance in space, running fast in his Sea of Consciousness. From him as the center, strands of Soul Consciousness amplified, then expanded to the outside world.

It seemed a space crack had just appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. All of a sudden, his Soul Consciousness flashed and then disappeared into that crack. He didn't know where it had gone.

Some kind of understanding suddenly stormed into his heart.

The Dead Soul Mountain range was a vast area. His Soul Consciousness glided through the region, searching every corner of the mountain range.

A flow of Soul Consciousness came to the Spirit Potion Valley.

The situation in Spirit Potion Valley and Precious Tool Valley projected in three-dimensional images in front of his eyes.

Bodies were piled on the ground. The dead souls' evil lair was floating above the valleys with its entrance close, but still emitting evil energy. Pagans of the Dark Spirit Clan were watching the entrance of the evil lair anxiously while talking with each other using a strange language.

Why did it turn into this?

Shi Yan was terrified, suddenly nervous.

He didn't know what happened, but from what he had seen in those two valleys, human warriors gathered there seemed to have encountered a fatal strike. The Dark Spirit Clan had killed two-thirds of them.

Strands of his Soul Consciousness with the space power were operating in the entire Dead Soul Mountain range. Many images were transferred to him.

He saw so many human warriors running away. He saw dead souls with real bodies chasing after them and killing them.

Li Zheng Rong, Cherry, Lin Ya Qi…

People he knew appeared in his Se of Consciousness. It seemed Shi Yan now had many eyes and could see everything happening in the whole Dead Soul Mountain range.

Shi Yan was completely struck with shock.

He suddenly realized that at his realm, when he released all of his Soul Consciousness, he could only cover some mountains in the Dead Soul Mountain range.

He also knew that the Peak Spirit Realm warriors could hardly send the Soul Consciousness to every corner of the Dead Soul Mountain range. The Soul Consciousness had a limit, and the Dead Soul Mountain range was extremely vast.

Unless it was a True God Realm warrior, it was difficult to cover the Soul Consciousness all over the Dead Soul Mountain range.

The True God Realm warrior also needed a long time to expand his Soul Consciousness to cover the entire mountain range.

And his Soul Consciousness could cross the distance across space. It didn't need to be around him and extend from him.

However, as long as his Soul Consciousness was released, it could appear at the corners near the border of the Dead Soul Mountain range. It depended on his thought, but it wasn't limited by distance as it could instantly appear even in a remote area.

Space power!

Only when he perceived the subtle mysteries of the space power could he gain this special effect!

Shi Yan had a feeling. He calmed down his tense nerves and manipulated the strands of Soul Consciousness, which were extending too far from him. As his mind flickered, they changed.

At the same time, his Sea of Consciousness had the second change.

The space slit that had just appeared in his Sea of Consciousness disappeared all of a sudden. The Sea of Consciousness then shook violently as it became extremely unstable. Flows of chaotic space energy that he didn't know the origin of started to affect his Sea of Consciousness.

He hurried to pull himself together. He didn't linger on his thoughts while using all means to steady his Sea of Consciousness.

He released the flows of Soul Consciousness to project the real-time images. His host soul was moving back and forth like a shuttle through the images in his Sea of Consciousness, carefully checking each of them.

Flows of chaotic space energy in his Sea of consciousness condensed into a rope flying towards his host soul.

His host soul trembled hard!

In the Sea of Consciousness, his host soul was like it was suffering a fierce thunderstorm. The host soul was swaying. Flows of space energy were like hammers that could train the soul by pounding on his host soul, making his host soul adapt to the new space Upanishad that he had just learned.

Shi Yan suddenly retreated all the strands of Soul Consciousness he had released. He then concentrated on feeling the space power and gave time to his host soul to adapt to the new situation.

At the same time, his hollow soul in the foreign land was still under the attraction force of the virescent sea. All of a sudden, it plunged into the sea.

When the hollow soul just soaked in the sea, a formidable soul erosive energy got activated. The hollow soul's will and the seal of the host soul were all eroded rapidly.

Before his hollow soul was assimilated, he vaguely saw a giant shadow in the deep place under the dark green sea.

That shadow was like a living creature, a seabed demon, which released the cold, sinister thought that affected the aura of the whole foreign land and changed some rules of nature.

Boom!

The hollow soul was eliminated, and Shi Yan's host soul was struck hard. The connection with the foreign land stopped instantly.

Without the senses from the foreign land and his hollow soul, Shi Yan could see the change of his host soul clearer.

While the space slits were wandering around him, Shi Yan calmed down his emotions and used the Comprehending Spirit Change of the Spirit Realm, which depended on the host soul as the base to make another step in controlling and promoting power.

He wanted to use the space power to enter the Spirit Realm. Before the transformation, he would use the space power to improve his body and train the host soul to sense further.

Inside the mountain flank, space slits disappeared gradually.

Shi Yan sat still, trying his best to feel the changes. He was neither happy nor angry, just focusing whole-heartedly to comprehend the new knowledge in silence.

The entrance of the evil lair above the Spirit Potion Valley and Precious Tool Valley had been closed a long time ago. Now, it only had a green light shimmering. Space slits around it disappeared all of a sudden. Since the entrance was closed, dead souls from the outside couldn't enter, and the dead souls from inside couldn't get out.

The dead souls' evil lair closed. It was still there, but it was gradually shrinking until it looked like a green dot.

Under the fearful, attentive watch of many members of the Dark Spirit Clan, after the entrance was closed, the evil lair turned into a flickering green light dot, which seemed extremely unstable, as if it could disappear at any minute.

Chapter 557: Spirit Realm!

Translator:Sigma_

Editor:Hitesh_

The Spirit Realm was the process of soul molding, using the power of the Upanishad he had perceived to enter the Spirit Realm to remold the soul, making it adapt to that change in power. That's how the host soul could use that power when the warrior entered a new realm.

The power Shi Yan had perceived was the space power.

During the soul molding process, space energy was led and fused with the Soul Consciousness, which gave it the abilities of space. However, if the host soul wanted to use the real power of space, it required a deeper understanding and a long time of comprehending.

Only spending time to sense and slowly perceive the space power could help the host soul use it fluently.

Shi Yan waked up, feeling feeble.

The space slit next to him had disappeared a long time ago, leaving the mountain flank gloomy as before.

Taking a look at the inside of his body, Shi Yan's eyes lit up.

The Essence Qi Ancient Tree had enlarged by five times. One-fifth of the ancient tree was now crystallized, containing the pure energy and Essence Qi.

The other four-fifths of the Essence Qi Ancient Tree was gaseous. He needed to cultivate arduously for countless days, taking in heaven and earth spiritual Qi to flood these four parts with energy, which would facilitate the crystallizing process.

Once the entire Essence Qi Ancient Tree in his body was crystallized, his Essence Qi would increase four times more.

It was the peak of the First Sky of Spirit Realm. At that time, his Essence Qi would have reached the requirement to advance to the next minor realm.

Shi Yan released the Soul Consciousness. Flows of Soul Consciousness disregarded the space or distance, operating in every corner of the Dead Soul Mountain range.

His understanding of the space power hadn't reached the profound stage, which limited the distance that the Soul Consciousness could travel.

According to his assumption, when his understanding of space power reached the most profound stage, although he was in the Divine Great Land, he could still see all the changes happening in the Endless Sea.

When his comprehension of space power was deep enough, his Soul Consciousness would change accordingly.

One day in the future, he could even use the Soul Consciousness to search every corner of the Grace Mainland. At that time, he could see flowers blooming or leaves shriveling dozens of thousands of miles away.

It was space power!

Once he reached the peak of Spirit Realm, at the threshold of True God Realm, he would have the second transformation. With that, his host soul would molt to the God Soul. At that time, his God Soul would have space power, and it could synchronize his whole Essence Qi.

When the Essence Qi had space power, each flow of his power could form a space blade that could slash through any kinds of physical defense to dismember people. The cut limbs would be in other spaces, and they would never have a chance to gather again.

This was the most perfect condition.

He also knew the path he needed to walk was still very long to reach that level.

However, when he thought about the wondrous use and mysteries of the space power, Shi Yan was cheered up. He was waiting for the bright future earnestly.

Flows of Soul Consciousness with space power were operating in the Dead Soul Mountain range. Now, his understanding of the situation in the region was much profound than anybody else.

He focused on the locations of the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley.

After an unknown period of time, three silhouettes zoomed over and arrived at the valleys like lightning. They were two men and one woman. The two men were muscular and good-looking, while the woman had a veil to cover her face.

All three of them had a profound vision. Although they looked like they were in their middle ages, their real ages should be much greater than what appeared.

Shi Yan's Soul consciousness didn't detect the aura of any one of them. If they didn't suspend above the two valleys, he wouldn't even be able to see their shadows!

Strange!

Right when the three of them arrived, the Dark Spirit Clan was startled.

Clansmen of the Dark Spirit Clan saw the three appear, and started screaming in fear, looking at a spot of green light hovering above the two valleys.

It was the dead souls' evil lair with its closed entrance.

The group of three then released waves of energy covering the entire sky and earth. The Dead Soul Mountain range seemed to tremble under the effect of that energy.

Some remaining flows of Soul Consciousness were cut off forcefully.

Some of the Dark Spirit Clan's high-level members were urging some of their strong secret techniques, which shot out beams of green light into the dead souls' evil lair, which had shrunk into a green spot.

The closed evil lair was forced to enlarge, as the crack appeared again.

A strange, evil green energy burst out from that cave entrance, covering the whole Dead Soul Mountain range, which could shake even the earth.

The group of two men and one woman slightly changed their faces. They looked at the cave entrance with serious face. No one knew what they were thinking.

At the same time, a flow of Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness suddenly lost the situation of that area.

Light crossed his eyes as he took a deep breath.

True God Realm warriors!

He could confirm that the three people who had appeared in the two valleys were the True God Realm warriors of the Radiant God Cult, the Pure Land, and the Devil Valley.

Only the True God Realm experts appeared as ordinary people without any surging energy on their bodies. At first glance, they seemed not to even have a Sea of Consciousness yet.

However, the power of this class of warriors could even change the whole earth and firmament. They always hid their aura.

When an expert at the True God Realm didn't use his power, he wouldn't look like a warrior, but more like a mortal human. People wouldn't be able to sense a beam of aura from him.

Three True God Realm warriors appeared at the Dead Soul Mountain range. When they were about to slaughter the Dark Spirit Clan, the strange energy from that dead souls' evil lair affected them.

Shi Yan couldn't watch the scene now or be able to sense it, but he knew that an earth-shaking battle was taking place in the two valleys.

Rumble Rumble Rumble!

The ground under his feet transmitted a violent tremor, which could affect people from over ten thousand miles away.

He knew that the three True God Realm warriors were fighting with the green energy inside the evil lair, which influenced the entire Dead Soul Mountain range.

True God Realm was the peak existence of the Divine Great Land. Presently, they were invincible!

He understood that with his current cultivation base, if he took risks in coming to that area to watch the battle, he could be destroyed by just the shock waves.

The War Devil was strong, but it could only fight with the Spirit Realm warriors. If it had to face the True God Realm of the Divine Great Land, it would be terminated easily.

Soon, he decided not to send any strands of Soul Consciousness to follow that fight. He just silently felt the earth's pulsation.

The Dead Soul Mountain range was like it was suffering a tremendous earthquake. Ear-splitting explosions reverberated everywhere. Even the mountain he was hiding in was trembling hard, as if it were about to collapse.

Shi Yan was frightened.

At this moment, he finally experienced how monstrous the True God Realm warriors were.

The mountain he was hiding in was more than ten thousand miles away from the Spirit Potion Valley. The fight happening on the other side was so fierce that the shocking waves had extended to his place.

How formidable were those powers?

The power that could move the mountain or level the sea shouldn't be more intimidating than this, right?

Boom Boom Boom!

A short mountain opposite to him collapsed, as it couldn't bear it anymore. The mountain leaned towards Shi Yan's place.

Shi Yan was terrified as he jumped out of the cave, floating in the air to avoid the rumbling rupture of the mountain.

Suspending in the void, he observed the ground in the surroundings. Some weak mountains around were trembling hard, that they could collapse at any minute. The ground cracked, splitting unevenly.

Cave-in happened everywhere.

Numerous trees were broken down. Countless creatures were smashed to death. There was no plain area reflected in his eyes.

Not good!

Shi Yan felt terrified as he suddenly remembered the Ghost Hunter, the Ice Cold Flame, and the Earth Flame. Even though they had left to cultivate, they should be around this mountain range. Shi Yan was worried that they would be involved in this fight.

Especially the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame.

These two heaven flames had the special aura, and were the top precious treasures that every warrior desired. Even if they were in the True God Realm, having the heaven flame in their host soul would benefit them a lot.

The Dead Soul Mountain range now not only had the dead souls' evil lair, but also three True God Realm warriors. Once those intimidating existences paid attention to them, Shi Yan was afraid that the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame would be subdued directly.

Although the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame were dangerous, they had to be aware of the level of their opponents. True God Realm warriors could oppress these two kinds of fiery flames easily.

According to the Ice Cold Flame, they could evolve more. Once they had reached a certain level, they would not be afraid of the True God Realm warriors anymore.

In the past, the Ice Cold Flame had been subdued by a True God Realm warrior, and it had missed the best opportunity to evolve, which made it weaker than the other types of heaven flames.

The Earth Flame could never withstand it either.

This flame had just formed its intellect not long ago, so its evolution was still a long road ahead. As it had just taken the very first step, once a True God Realm had an eye on it, the flame would be subdued soon.

Shi Yan was anxious. While he was floating in the sky, he started to release his Soul Consciousness.

Wonderful connections shone in his heart when he urged his thought. Shortly, an invisible bond was created between the strange living beings and Shi Yan.

Some strands of his Soul Consciousness scattering in the Dead Soul Mountain range followed the feeble connection and found his strange companions.

The Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm had befriended a group of demonic beasts. Most of them were at level 7, and some of them were at level 8. The Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm gathered with the beasts, using demonic beast way to contact them. He didn't know what they were discussing.

The Ice Cold Flame was staying at the foot of a mountain. It was floating in a cold stream together with the Holy Spirit God. They seemed to be absorbing the energy inside the cold stream.

The Earth Flame was strengthening its scorching power using the lava inside a volcano.

The strange creatures that left him were operating in different places. His flows of Soul Consciousness circled them and sent them his messages.

As his Soul Consciousness had space power, his sensing ability was improved a lot. In the past, his Soul Consciousness hadn't been able to sense their existences in such a long range. But now, not only could he sense them, but he could also send his thoughts to them!

The Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insect, the Ice Cold Flame all received his thoughts.

Under his Soul Consciousness' guidance, those strange living beings flew out from their locations, heading towards him.

Shi Yan relaxed his nerves and hurried to send them another thought, advising that they should be more careful because of the dangers in the Dead Soul Mountain range now.

After they received the news, these creatures stayed alert and took the other way around to avoid the valleys, despite the fact that they had to spend more time to reach Shi Yan.

Chapter 558: Radiant God Cult's Master

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Above the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley, a dazzling green light rippled from the dead souls' evil lair layer after layer, which looked like a group of thousands of green ecliptics. Each ecliptic contained great power fluctuations.

The green ring light was the strengthened barrier which had covered all the members of the Dark Spirit Clan, saving them from the attack of the three True God Realm experts.

Virescent light columns as wide as a human shot out from the evil lair, piercing through the ground and thrusting deep into the soil.

The three True God Realm warriors had to mobilize their power urgently to face the light columns.

At the same time, all members of the Dark Spirit Clan were covered inside the green ecliptic, which kept them safe from the True God Realm warriors' attacks.

In the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley, the structures where the light columns shot through all crumpled; nothing remained intact.

The two valleys, which had been existed for hundreds of years, were crushed down. Corpses on the ground got shot again, as flesh and blood splashed everywhere. The whole scene looked like hell on earth.

The three True God Realm experts from the Radiant God Cult, the Pure Land, and the Devil Valley were facing the green light columns from the evil lair, but seemed like they couldn't hold it for more, let alone attacking the clansmen.

Fortunately, the energy from the evil lair couldn't be maintained for any longer. Not long after that, the energy shot out from it gradually ceased.

When the three True God Realm warriors thought that they could catch all of the Dark Spirit Clan's members, a suction force suddenly emitted from the dead souls' evil lair.

The Dark Spirit Clan's survivors were overjoyed, turning themselves into beams of light and flying toward the evil lair.

Shortly, all members of the Dark Spirit Clan disappeared into the dead souls' evil lair. The evil lair then shrank again into a fist-sized green light spot, twisting and swaying in the air. All of a sudden, it disappeared into thin air.

Three True God Realm warriors stood in the ruins of the two valleys while exchanging looks, their faces solemn.

Afterward, they discussed something and then disappeared.

In a cave in the East of the Dead Soul Mountain range, a several-thousand-meters tall mountain collapsed. Numerous big trees broke down as the ground cracked, revealing a deep, bottomless abyss.

Elder Xue Mu of the Radiant God Cult took Yu Le and a group of disciples, struggling while floating in the air. They looked at the general direction of the Spirit Potion Valley, which was pretty far from them now, slamming their brows together. They were all worried.

All of a sudden, a light flashed next to Xue Mu.

One of the good-looking middle-aged man, who had just engaged in the battle with the Dark Spirit Clan in the Spirit Potion Valley, appeared in the light. He threw a glance at Xue Mu, nodded and said, "It's good that you're alright."

"Cult Master!"

Xue Mu, Yu Le, and the others bent down to greet him, their faces full of respect.

Yun Hao, the master of the Radiant God Cult, waved his hand gently to ask them not to be too polite. Then he said, "This is a big catastrophe. The Dark Spirit Clan has revived. We didn't kill them timely, which will be a big trouble later."

Xue Mu, Yu Le, and the others discolored in fear.

All of them knew Yun Hao had a formidable power. Their Cult Master had taken action personally together with the Masters of the Pure Land and the Devil Valley but they couldn't eradicate the Dark Spirit Clan. Now, he had appeared with a serious expression, which made them worry about the whole situation.

"In the Antiquity time, the Dark Spirit Clan was an extreme race. After taking time to rest and regain their power in the foreign land, they have recovered almost fully. We don't know what happened to them in the foreign land, but they've become more terrifying." Yun Hao's eyes were as bright as a torch as he spoke up faintly. "Seems like there's an extremely intimidating existence in that dead souls'evil lair, which helps the Dark Spirit Clan. Somehow, it can't leave the foreign land, but it can help protect the Dark Spirit Clan through the distance of a whole world. This is way too incredulous!"

"If even the Cult Master says that it's terrifying, then this existence's absolutely beyond us," added Xue Mu.

Yun Hao slowly nodded, "I think, if the three of us enter that foreign land and fight that existence, we wouldn't be able to come back unharmed. It's hard to estimate the power of the opponent. In the most conservative estimation, I think it should have the power of a Peak True God Realm expert."

Everybody was frightened.

"The dead souls' evil lair covered all the members of the Dark Spirit Clan and disappeared. We can't detect its current location." Yun Hao hesitated, then continued, "The three of us will stay in the Dead Soul Mountain range for a while and try our best to find it. We'll damage it badly when the Dark Spirit Clan isn't well-prepared."

Xue Mu and his group listened to him in silence.

While Yun Hao was telling them about his plan, he suddenly changed the topic. "Xue Mu, you had sent me a message saying that there was an interesting battle in the Precious Tool Valley."

"Yes, Master," Xue Mu explained with his respected face. "A strange young man fought with Lie Feng and gained the upper hand. It's strange. That kid just has the Peak Sky Realm cultivation base, but he could trouble Lie Feng to the point no one dared to believe."

"What's his name?"

"Shi Yan."

"Shi Yan..."

Yun Hao mused for a while. The corner of his mouth beamed an eccentric smile. "Turns out it's him. This kid always gives us surprises."

"Master, you know him?"

Xue Mu was surprised. He thought his Master didn't pay attention to this trivial matter. He had gathered all the news of the Divine Great Land, screening and reporting some important news to Yun Hao. However, he had never heard about the name Shi Yan before. How could his Master know this kid?

"Where's that kid?" Yun Hao didn't answer him but inquired with great interest.

Xue Mu, Yu Le and the other disciple of the Radiant God Cult were astounded. The Cult Master wasn't a man who liked gossip, but now he suddenly had interest in an anonymous kid. This had them bewildered.

"During his battle with Lie Feng, he seemed to fall into bedevilment. He then slaughtered the onlookers around…" explained Xue Mu.

"I've just left for a few days," Yun Hao smiled, "Not bad. Not bad at all. He could endure the battle with a puppet at Third Sky of Spirit Realm, and he also has dangerous beasts. This young man is really talented. Haha."

Xue Mu and the others looked at him with astonishment. They were wise enough not to inquire further.

"He should still be in the Dead Soul Mountain range. I'm going to search for him. Haha. He has the Star Martial Spirit. As the Cult Master, I can track him down with this," laughed Yun Hao.

"Star Martial Spirit!"

Xue Mu and Yu Le screamed in unison.

"Yeah," Yun Hao smiled, "This kid comes from the Endless Sea. He has the Star Martial Spirit… He's one of us. Last time in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, he had joined hands with a disciple in our Cult, whose name's Zhao Feng. When he arrived at the Divine Great Land, he fought with the Nings. I heard he had caused Ning Du Quan some loss."

Xue Mu and Yu Le were astounded.

Xue Mu was bewildered. Later on, he said, "When he was in the Spirit Potion Valley, he didn't reveal his identity. If I knew he was one of us, I would have definitely kept him here."

"He should have some worries that kept him from telling his true identity," Yun Hao waved his hands. "No problem. No matter what his worries are, when he comes to the Divine Great Land, I want to have him in our Cult. This man can beat up Lie Feng when he has only the Sky Realm cultivation base... His potential is endless. The Pure Land has just found a girl who has the soul of an ancient ancestor. Our God Sect needs a plan, too."

Then, he looked at Yu Le and smiled again. "You must try harder. That kid has never been nurtured in our sect. He has cultivated alone, but he could reach that level. Talking about the innate endowment, his is almost the same as yours."

Yu Le smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything, his eyes strange.

Right in front of everybody, Yun Hao closed his eyes. The energy around his body was activated. Powers of the sun, moon, and stars with colorful colors constantly sparkled around him.

A wave of sensing soul energy expanded quietly under the light of the sun, moon, and stars, starting to comb the Dead Soul Mountain range.

The power of the Flaming Sun, Silver Moon, and Star in Xue Mu, Yu Le, and the others were agitated. They seemed to be struggling as if they wanted to detach from the warriors' bodies.

As the Master of the Radiant God Cult, the power Yun Hao controlled could subdue any disciple in the cult. When his thought flickered, the energy of the opponents would be attracted and disturbed to the point they couldn't bear.

Yun Hao closed his eyes and pushed his energy further. From his body as the center, his power was rippling hard.

Long afterward, Yun Hao rolled his eyes, whose pupils as dazzling as the sun. Scorching divine light shot out immensely.

"Cult Master, did you find him?" Xue Mu asked with caution.

Yun Hao nodded smilingly but didn't answer him. Starlight moved in his body. The power of the sun and the moon entered the stars, directly arousing some kind of a strange change.

Shortly, Yun Hao disappeared into thin air.

"Yu Le, you have a rival now." Waiting until Yun Hao disappeared completely, Xue Mu took a deep breath. "Seems the Master regards that kid pretty well. If he joins the God Sect, he can replace you in and become the Son of God."

Yu Le beamed a faint smile from the corner of his mouth. "It's okay. It's much more interesting when your opponent's stronger."

Xue Mu frowned while looking at him. He then nodded slowly. "You should pay attention. To gain the favor from the Cult Master, you've been putting a lot of efforts. I know your effort has been more than anyone else's. I have bet my biggest stake on you. I don't want to see you fail."

"Don't worry. No matter who he or she is, the last one who stands will be me." Yu Le felt funny. His crystal clear eyes showed his absolute confidence. It was the nature that a true expert should have. Only when they had the absolute self-confidence, would they be unafraid of any kinds of provocation, which couldn't hinder them from performing their best.

Yu Le was that kind of a person.

"Yeah, I favor you," Xue Mu also smiled.

Although he was surprised with the power Shi Yan had demonstrated, he also knew Yu Le's strength. Throughout the recent years, Yu Lie had been growing fast after each battle. Through each battle, he had learned something new.

Xue Mu had an absolute trust in Yu Le. He didn't think that Shi Yan, a man from the Endless Sea, could replace Yu Le in the Radiant God Cult.

Chapter 559: Exposed

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The Ghost Hunter, King of Demonic Insects, the Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the Holy Spirit God received Shi Yan's message. They flew around to avoid the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley to return to Shi Yan.

Shi Yan didn't ask them what they did. Right when they returned, he immediately put them into the Blood Vein Ring.

The Dead Soul Mountain range now filled with big dangers. If he were careless for a moment, he would never recover. Shi Yan understood well that he was carrying a lot of treasures with him, which would make him a big target. Thus, he needed to leave this place of troubles as soon as possible.

However, as soon as he had retrieved those strange living beings, and hadn't even departed yet, his mind suddenly felt agitated, and his face changed dramatically.

A tremendous strange energy fluctuation shot toward him rapidly, that left him no time to react.

Shi Yan shivered. He was about to use the secret technique to get away underground. However, right at the moment, a dark energy cloud snatched down, covering him.

A tall but thin figure appeared. His pupils reflected no light, which gave people a feeling of being cold.

The Master of the Devil Valley, Nie Ruo.

The gloomy energy cloud was like seawater enveloping him. The power of his entire body was restrained. No matter how hard he tried to urge his power, he couldn't move his Essence Qi.

His negative energy wasn't suppressed, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He looked at the man with a calm face, "Who are you? Why have you restrained me?"

"A strand of your Soul Consciousness had appeared in the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley. Were you sensing us?" Nie Ruo's face was cold. "Your Soul Consciousness is a bit eccentric. If I didn't have a special tool, I could never find you here. Kid, where are you from? Why did you sneak on us? What do you want?"

Shi Yan was scared.

His Soul Consciousness had space power, which he had used to flee away instantly from the valley.

This man could track him down using only one beam of Soul Consciousness. He didn't shame his formidable existence at the True God Realm.

"I meant no harm. You guys created a big move, so I just wanted to check it out." Shi Yan pretended to be innocent. "Did my Soul Consciousness sensing disturb you?"

Nie Ruo curled his lips, cracking a dark, cold smile. "Well, I just think that you should be an interesting kid. Even I can't send my Soul conscious through ten thousand miles away in just a blink of an eye like that. You have only the Sky Realm cultivation base, but you can do that, which astounded me a lot."

Shi Yan knitted his brows as his thought flickered quickly. He beamed a wry smile, "Then, what do you want?"

"I want nothing. I just want to know your identity," grinned Nie Ruo. "You're a stranger. You don't look like the disciple of the seven ancient factions. Otherwise, I should have known you. Besides the seven factions, the ones who could raise you should be those recluses. Who's your teacher?"

"Can I not answer that?"

"Sure you can," Nie Ruo grinned fiendishly. "But I will enter your Sea of Consciousness and search the information in your host soul. It shouldn't be a hard task, you know. But then, your host soul will be a little bit annoyed. You don't want that, do you?"

Shi Yan got enraged.

This man was a True God Realm expert. Intruding Shi Yan's host soul was as easy as flipping his hand. If he did that, although Shi Yan could use the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame to harm him, he couldn't escape.

Plus, if this man knew the secret of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, he would never let him go.

This was tough.

Shi Yan suddenly felt helpless. His strength and realm were much behind this man. Even if he used all the secret tricks he had, he couldn't threaten the other, except giving him a chance to see what he got.

Then, he would never have a decent ending.

Nie Rue wasn't hurried. He just grinned, looking at Shi Yan with cold eyes as if he weren't afraid that the young man would do something sneaky.

Shi Yan's brain was working quickly to find the way out. However, facing a monster at the True God Realm, he found that no trick could work.

"Oh, you're here. too."

At this moment, another voice came. Yun Hao, the Master of the Radiant God Cult, appeared in a twisted scorching light.

Shi Yan felt his heart sinking. His headache swelled bigger.

It was alright with one monster, but now he had another one. He was going crazy this time. Shi Yan felt a big regret in his heart. He blamed himself for being too slow, which helped these tremendous existences find him.

"Yun Hao, why are you here?" Nie Ruo snorted. "You can find us here, which means you know that this kid was sneaking on us too, eh?"

"He's one of my cult's members. I'm coming to ask him to return to the sect." The Radiant God Cult Master smiled generously. "Well, Lie Feng was defeated, so you felt that your face was blemished. Are you here to take action personally?"

"Lie Feng…" Nie Ruo was stunned. A streak of light crossed his eyes. He said with a colder tone, "You are that Shi Yan!"

When Feng Biao reported on the dead soul's operation, he also remarked the battle between Shi Yan, Hao Hai, Chang Ge, and Lie Feng, which frightened Nie Ruo. He had a deep impression with the name Shi Yan, and had memorized it.

He didn't know that the man in front of his eyes was Shi Yan. Having heard Yun Hao mention the event, Nie Ruo remembered immediately. He couldn't help but snort, "Turns out it's you!"

Shi Yan wore a bitter face, not knowing what to say.

He didn't know why Nie Ruo came here or why Yun Hao, the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult, had paid attention to him. Shi Yan felt that he hadn't done anything, but then why had he drawn many monsters here without reason?

Especially the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult, he exposed Shi Yan's identity which meant he seemed to know him. This made him more anxious.

When he had stayed in the Ice Emperor City, Bai Ge Seng and the others had advised him carefully not to show up himself in front of Yun Hao, no matter what.

He always kept it in mind. He went to the Dead Soul Mountain range because he wanted to avoid Yun Hao.

Although he had many calculations, he now recognized he was wrong. Eventually, Yun Hao still laid an eye on him.

"He's my Radiant God Cult's member," Yun Hao smiled, looking at Nie Ruo. He didn't talk much, but his intention of protecting the young man was obvious.

Everybody knew that Yun Hao liked to cover his men's shortcomings and characteristics. If he talked that way, he would definitely poke his nose in this matter. If Nie Ruo wanted to take action, he had to finish Yun Hao first.

As they were all the peak warriors of the seven ancient factions in Divine Great Land, Nie Ruo knew how tremendous Yun Hao was. He looked at Shi Yan with a dark look, taking a deep breath, "Tell me, is it as what you said?"

"Shi Yan, come here. Show him your Star power," Yun Hao smiled while his eyes squinted.

Shi Yan kept silent, but he had a big headache now with the worry.

The thing he was afraid of the most was to use the Star Martial Spirit in front of Yun Hao. He was wary of revealing something. He didn't think that what he was afraid would come to him. Right when Yun Hao came, he asked him to use the Star Martial Spirit. He would be over this time.

"Look at his hesitant look. It's obvious that he doesn't know anything. Master Yun Hao, do you really think that your pretense can make me step back?" said Nie Ruo coldly.

The Radiant God Cult Master was surprised, too. He started to doubt the information that Feng Biao had sent him. Releasing a bit of the Star power was easy. What made this kid find things too difficult?

Shi Yan pondered, then made up his mind miserably. His face was as if he was attending a funeral. He carefully urged the Star Martial Spirit, revealing a beam of starlight.

Yun Hao cracked a big smile, talking to Nie Rue. "Did you see that? The star power couldn't be faked, right? Have you lost your hope yet?"

Nie Rue paled as he nodded, then didn't say anything. He disappeared shortly.

Once Nie Rue left, the smile on Yun Hao's face disappeared. He didn't say anything, but storming toward Shi Yan and forcefully put his hand on Shi Yan's shoulder.

A flow of torrential energy started to pour rumblingly around Shi Yan, storming into his heart which was full of starlight.

Yun Hao's look became bizarre. He sensed quietly but he seemed to be more stunned as time went by.

Shi Yan got struck as he thought it wasn't good at all.

Anyhow, Yun Hao was the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult. He had mastered using the power of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. Using the star power in front of him, no matter how careful Shi Yan was, he couldn't hide things from the old man's eyes.

Normal people couldn't see the feeble flaming energy in his Star Martial Spirit, but how could Yun Hao not recognize it?

"Star power fused with flaming sun power. Not bad. Not bad at all. You surprise people a lot. You've widened my vision." After Yun Hao finished his sensing, he retreated his arm, his face musing. He looked at Shi Yan with eyes as bright as the torch while smiling. "Without the secrets of the God Sect, how could you fuse the power of the star and the flaming sun?"

Shi Yan felt as if he had a full stomach of bitter water. Closing his eyes, he said "I don't know what had happened, it just turned that way. Luck… It was just my luck."

'I'm doomed. Yun Hao will kill me shortly. God damn it. So unfortunate!' Shi Yan cursed under his breath. He knew he couldn't hide things any longer, talking with a cold visage. "It has turned out this way. What do you want me to do?"

"What to do…" Yun Hao's smile hid a deep meaning. "Alright. Follow me to the Radiant God Cult. Our sect needs men with big guts like you. After we're done with the ceremonies, you will be a member of the God Sect. The future master of the God Sect could be you, perhaps."

Shi Yan was struck by surprise, looking at him disbelievingly.

He still thought that Yun Hao would never let him live. He had estimated the worst case, but things had turned differently.

Yun Hao's move was far beyond his estimation.

"What? You thought that I would kill you?" Yun Hao was stunned. "Am I that narrow-minded? You have just combined the sun power, but you don't know the technique. What should I worry about?"

"But the future…"

"Future?" Yun Hao curled his lips. "Who knows how the future will be? I've reached the Second Sky of True God Realm, but I can't see the future. Can you? Perhaps the Radiant God Cult won't exist in the future. As the master, I will disappear altogether with it. Why should I worry about the future?"

Shi Yan was surprised.

Chapter 560: Agreed

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Yun Hao had invited Shi Yan sincerely, but the young man was still indecisive – he couldn't understand what Yun Hao was thinking.

Yun Hao was the leader of the Radiant God Cult, with a great reputation in the Divine Great land. He was a famous expert. According to the rumors, Yun Ha had excellent manners.

It was just Shi Yan who was worried a little bit. What Bai Ge Seng and the other told him, he still kept it in mind, which made him suspicious of the other's deeds.

Anyway, even if he were doubtful, he had no other option right now.

Yun Hao was formidable to the point that he could erase Shi Yan completely in just a blink of an eye. Shi Yan couldn't guess how Yun Hao would treat him if he denied his offer.

Each master of the seven ancient factions always valued the extension of their sects. Yun Hao should be of that kind. If Shi Yan rejected the Radiant God Cult, he would become an unnecessary factor. In the future, he could become the enemy of the Radiant God Cult.

Of course, Yun Hao didn't want to see that result…

"I'm coming with good will. You carry the powers of the God Sect, so you should walk on the same path with the God Sect." Yun Hao wasn't hurried, as he continued while smiling. "Your identity's a bit sensitive. You offended the Heaven Temple right when you just arrived the Divine Great Land. Now, even Nie Ruo has his eyes on you. If I don't get involved, as you continue living in the Divine Great Land, you will have big troubles sooner or later."

This wasn't to threaten him.

In the Divine Great Land, no strong experts were nice. It was the same with people from the Heaven Temple, and Nie Ruo too.

After a fight with Lie Feng, he believed that his name would be spreading out pretty quick in the Divine Great Land. At that moment, he would be the target of many people.

The Divine Great Land wasn't the Endless Sea. He couldn't rely on the War Devil to be invincible here.

This man was a True God Realm warrior.

Shi Yan couldn't go back now. If he denied it, fatal troubles would come for him soon.

He weighed pros and cons and then decided to accept the invitation. He needed to cross this gate first. He couldn't predict the future. When he had enough power, getting rid of the Radiant God Cult wasn't impossible.

"Alright," Shi Yan nodded and accepted Yun Hao's invitation.

Yun Hao laughed out loud. "You, young man, you're careful indeed. It's good anyway. This means you're not some sort of a person who likes taking risks. Great, you have surprised me. When I arrived here, I heard Xue Mu say that you're at the Peak Sky Realm, but you could still defeat Lie Feng. I didn't think that it has been just ten days and you have made a step further, straight into the Spirit Realm. Excellent!"

Shi Yan just smiled and didn't answer him.

"I'm curious. What kind of understanding did you use to enter the Spirit Realm?" Yun Hao thought for a while and then asked impatiently. "In Spirit Realm, the Upanishads of the power you have used to enter the realm will change constantly. If the power you got from the Upanishads comes from the Star Martial Spirit, I think your potential in the Radiant God Cult would surpass Yu Le's."

"Well, I'm sorry but I have failed you. I didn't use the Star power to break through," Shi Yan shrugged. "I was studying the Teleportation Formation, and somehow stirred up space power…"

Yun Hao's eyes brightened with astonishment, "Space power?!? Good boy! I didn't think that your breakthrough had depended on this kind of a power." Yun Hao complimented, but suddenly felt a bit disappointed. "However, our sect doesn't have any documents of methods to cultivate this kind of a power. In the Spirit Realm, if you can't understand space power further, it's really tough to break through again!"

Shi Yan smiled miserably, "I know it would be that way."

"And you still want to rely on space power to break through again?" Yun Hao was astounded. "I have never seen any warriors with a deep understanding of space power in the Divine Great Land. This means, on this road, you have to search alone, without any reference from the precursors. It will prevent your realm from thriving faster. You, fella, you're harebrained."

Shi Yan couldn't snap back.

Yun Hao contemplated for a while, but he didn't continue this topic. Next, he asked Shi Yan about the Endless Sea, concentrating on the Three Gods Sect there.

Shi Yan didn't conceal anything. He told the man what he knew about the Three Gods Sect.

Yun Hao constantly nodded, his face astounded. After listening to Shi Yan's narration, he sighed, "I haven't thought that after Ouyang Grand Uncle left, he had a family there and could even make the branch of the Radiant God Cult to have such good conditions.

This time, Shi Yan had no clues.

"Grand Master Ouyang was a special talent of the God Sect. Before I was born, he had some contradiction with the sect. Then, he copied a part of the books here and left alone. No one knew of his whereabouts ever since. I can confirm that the Three God Sect in the Endless Sea got the inheritance from Grand Master Ouyang. I never thought that he could be that excellent to develop the Radiant God Cult to that glory in the Endless Sea."

Shi Yan kept silent.

He wasn't interested in the secrets of the Radiant God Cult. And, he had known since long that the Three God Sect in the Endless Sea should be a branch of the Radiant God Cult.

"You said that Grand Master Ouyang's grandchildren, Ouyang Luo Shuang, has a tremendous cultivation base?" Yun Hao mused and then asked for more details.

Shi Yan nodded. "Ouyang Luo Shuang has reached the Second Sky of Spirit Realm. Her understanding of the God Sect's power is much profound than mine. I think her potential is much bigger than mine, too."

Yun Hao's eyes brightened. Later, he laughed cheerily. "You shouldn't underestimate yourself. I like you, kid. You aren't worse than her."

Shi Yan beamed a wry smile.

Yun Hao mused for a while but didn't inquire further. "Come on, we should gather with Xue Mu."

Shi Yan chased after him.

In fact, Yun Hao was sympathetic, and didn't ask anything of the matters Shi Yan was worried the most about, such as the War Devil, the Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Ice Cold Flame. He was worried about those living beings, as he was afraid that Yun Hao had some bad schemes towards them.

Fortunately, Yun Hao didn't ask even a single question. He only inquired the information of the Endless Sea, and he seemed to not have an interest in these secrets.

This made him relax his nerves.After two hours, Shi Yan followed Yun Hao to meet up with Xue Mu, Yu Le, and the others. Besides Xue Mu and Yu Le, there were two other disciples of the Radiant God Cult, one man and one woman. They both looked young. The man was handsome, and the woman was more graceful.

They were like Yu Le. They were the young experts of the Radiant God Cult, both at the Peak Sky Realm. The man's name was Han Chang, and the woman was called Li Mu Yu. They followed Xue Mu to the Dead Soul Mountain range to train themselves.

Han Chang was cultivating the Star Execution, and Li Mu Yu was investing in the Silver Moon Execution. They had a certain attainment in their cultivations.

The biggest difference between Yu Le and them was the realm.

Yu Le was cultivating the Flaming Sun Execution, using the power of the flaming sun to enter the Spirit Realm. His will was firm, and his manners were calm. The seven Grand Elders of the Radiant God Cult always complimented him. He was the one who had the biggest chance to become the next leader of the God Sect.

After Shi Yan arrived, Yu Le smiled and welcomed him warmly, constantly calling him "brother." He gave people a good impression.

Quite the contrary, Han Chang, and Li Mu Yu obviously had contradictions in their minds. They wanted to ignore and not befriend Shi Yan.

Shi Yan was neither surprised nor angry, his face deliberate. He dealt with Yu Le courteously, without sincerity. Then, they listened to Yun Hao lecturing about the strange, evil energy of the dead souls' evil lair.

"That dead souls' evil lair is strange. It has so many space cracks inside," Shi Yan suddenly intervened.

Yun Hao and Xue Mu were surprised, looking at him. Xue Mu was astounded. "How do you know of the situation inside that dead souls' evil lair. Did you get there?"

Although Yun Hao didn't talk, his eyes shone like the sun, beaming a beautiful halo that made people dizzy. Obviously, he was stunned on hearing what Shi Yan had just shared.

"When I was comprehending space power, my hollow soul got there unknowingly. It was a strange, foreign land, which was full of space cracks. There's a soul sea that I couldn't see the shore of. Souls were floating there emotionlessly. In the bottom of that green soul sea, there seems to live a strange creature. It had a freezing cold, evil aura... Extremely dangerous!"

Yun Hao and Xue Mu were startled. Yun Hao took a deep breath and talked with his light tone. "Does that soul in the green sea have the life fluctuation of a living thing?"

"No," Shi Yan frowned, then explained, "The atmosphere of death filled the place. The existence of that green soul sea seems to engage in soul energy absorption. My hollow soul could see many souls of the warriors from the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley dragged into that green soul sea."

A streak of fear crossed Yun Hao's pupils.

He was hesitant, then nodded at Shi Yan. "Your information's crucial. I want to tell Nie Ruo and Lin Meng. We need to check if the ancient records of the Pure Land and the Devil Valley have any writings of this formidable existence."

Then, Yun Hao closed his eyes, releasing his soul energy. He seemed to be sending the message to Nie Ruo and the Master of the Pure Land – Lin Meng.

Shi Yan waited for him in silence.

Two minutes later, Lin Meng of the Pure Land arrived, bringing with her the hotshots of the Pure Land – Luo Yue and Ya Lie, together with Nie Ruo, Feng Biao, and Lie Feng.

"Master Yun, what did you call us here for?" Lin Meng had a clear voice like a child!

Shi Yan was amazed.

Han Chang and Li Mu Yu had never met Li Meng before. They were stunned like a wooden chicken, gawking at the Master of the Pure Land with her face hidden behind the veil.

The master of the Pure Land was a little girl?

But she had the height of an adult. Why did she have a child-like voice?

Shi Yan couldn't make a head or tail out of it.

Ming Mei of the Devil Valley stood together with Chang Ge and Hao Hai. Her beautiful eyes were a bit gloomy as she was staring at Shi Yan maliciously.

Shi Yan was bewildered. He didn't know which grudge he had developed against this girl that made her hate him that much.

"I want to announce to you guys officially…," Yun Hao wore a solemn face, pointing at Shi Yan and continued with a low voice, "From now on, he's a member of the Radiant God Cult."

"Master Yun called me here to announce this?" The clear voice of Lin Meng seemed to have a bit of anger.

"Master Yun has favored him too much, eh?" Nie Rue snorted.

"Of course, it's not only this," Yun Hao beamed a faint smile. "Shi Yan, tell them. I think they are interested in your story more."

Lin Meng, Nie Rue, and the others were surprised.

Chapter 561: Wide gap

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

(The title of this chapter lit. is the name of the old canal in Henan that formed the border between enemies Chu and Han – TL)

Shi Yan described the scene he had seen in the foreign land in detail. Hearing him, Lin Meng and Nie Ru were frightened.

"The histories of the Pure Land and the Devil Valley are longer than the Radiant God Cult. Do you know anything about the alien in that foreign land?" Yun Hao waited for Shi Yan to finish. He frowned and asked Lin Meng and Nie Ruo.

Nie Ruo shook his head, "Never heard about this kind of a creature before."

Lin Meng didn't answer immediately. She hesitated for a while, then shook her head. "The old writings of our Pure Land record a lot of foreign tribes in the Antiquity Time, but none of them match your description of that alien."

Yun Hao felt disappointed.

"Among the seven ancient factions in the Divine Great Land, if we are talking about long history and the number of ancient books in possession, the Martial Spirit Palace ranks first." Lin Meng mused, then spoke up with a child-like voice calmly, "Perhaps, we should go to Martial Spirit Palace and ask them."

Yun Hao and Nie Ruo had their eyes brightened.

Among the seven ancient factions, Pure Land and Martial Spirit Palace both had a long history that could track back to the Antiquity time.

However, Pure Land had a big change at one time, leading to the loss of a big part of their documents and records. Quite the contrary, Martial Spirit Palace had kept a lot of ancient books from the Antiquity era. So now, they were considered the faction that had the most profound knowledge about antiquity creatures in the Divine Great Land.

"Right, we should ask the Martial Spirit Palace. I forgot about them," Yun Hao nodded and smiled.

Nie Ruo also agreed.

"We'll stay in the Dead Soul Mountain range to observe for several days. If we can't find the dead souls' evil lair, we will leave." Lin Meng contemplated, then continued. "Perhaps the dead souls' evil lair has left the Dead Soul Mountain range. If we linger here, I'm afraid it will just waste our time and efforts without a positive result. So, I think we should extend our vision to see what's changing. Then, we shall discuss again."

Yun Hao and Nie Ruo nodded.

"Precursor Lin…"

At this moment, Shi Yan suddenly rose his voice, his face strange.

Lin Meng turned around. They couldn't see her expression under the veil. "What?"

"Xia Xin Yan's in the Pure Land now, right?"

"True."

"Can I…"

"No." Lin Meng cut him off impolitely. Her childlike voice was clear but cold. "I know you, and I know the relationship between you and Xin Yan. Here's my advice for you. Being a human, you should understand your position. Xin Yan is destined to be the future master of the Pure Land. She will surpass me to reach the realm that no one can imagine. She has reached the Second Sky of Spirit Realm now. In one or two years, she'll step directly into the Third Sky of Spirit Realm. Do you understand me?"

Yun Hao, Nie Ruo, and their men changed their faces.

As the masters of the Radiant God Cult and the Devil Valley, they knew that the Pure Land had a treasure. But they could never think that Xia Xin Yan had reached such a high level in just a short time.

Yu Le, Lie Feng, Ming Mei, and Luo Yue suddenly felt their pressure increasing. They looked at Shi Yan with a vaguely jeering expression.

Lin Meng told him to give up. Although she didn't say it clearly, her idea was clear enough. He wasn't good enough to be with Xia Xin Yan.

Shi Yan wore a gloomy face. He clenched his teeth while rage filled him. But he had no choice. He had many things he wanted to say to persuade her. However, what Lin Meng told him had stopped his words right in his throat. He couldn't say anything.

"Even I can't estimate Xin Yan's future. You should give it up. Don't struggle. You will just hurt yourself, kid." Lin Meng wasn't trying to be polite at all.

Yun Hao couldn't say anything.

Nobody could talk on behalf of the other when talking about love. Yun Hao himself was terrified on hearing how powerful Xia Xin Yan was.

He had thought that Shi Yan was tough, but after he heard it from Lin Meng, he understood that that little girl's cultivating path would have no barriers. Even Yun Hao himself had a helpless feeling. He thought that although Shi Yan could be more powerful, he could never reach her level.

"Okay!" Shi Yan clenched his jaw, taking a deep breath. He took out the jade bottle and threw it to Lin Meng. "This drop of Life Original Liquid, please give it to her. I hope she could thrive another step further."

Yun Hao, Nie Ruo, and the others looked dumbstruck

Xue Mu, Ya Lie, Feng Biao and the others had their eyes heated up, gazing at the jade bottle that contained the Life Original Fluid.

How precious the Life Original Fluid was, everyone here understood it well. This was the strongest guarantee for experts at Spirit Realm to leap up to the True God Realm!

Xue Mu, Ya Lie, and Feng Biao were all at the Peak of Spirit Realm!

Lin Meng didn't move, but the jade bottle disappeared shortly. She put it away and then talked with her cold and clear voice. "I'll give it to her."

Shi Yan smiled generously. "It's good then. I don't know how the future will be, but I'm sure that my future isn't some trajectory you can define either."

"Overreaching yourself," Lin Meng snorted, waved her hand, and left. "We should go."

Warriors of the Pure Land including Ya Lie and Luo Yue flew after her.

"This kid is a lovebird. It's obvious that he has no hope here, but still, he gave her the Life Original Liquid. Haha, don't you know that it would widen the gap between you two?" Nie Ruo smiled faintly, his voice ironical.

Shi Yan didn't reply him.

Nie Ruo didn't get angry. He gave Shi Yan a deep look and then shifted his look to Feng Biao, "Master Yun protects him. Do you still want to rob the Life Original Fluid from him?"

Feng Bao darkened his face, throwing a malicious look at Shi Yan. "Kid, I remember you. You better not fall into my hands."

"Well, when I was in the Sky Realm, you couldn't hurt me. Now that I've reached the Spirit Realm, do you think you can trouble me?" Shi Yan snapped back, his face disdainful.

Feng Biao put on a ruthless expression.

"Let's go, Feng Biao," Nie Rue waved his hand, beaming a gloomy smile.

"Shi Yan, I gained big profits from the battle with you. In the future, if we have a chance, I want to experience your power again." Lie Feng, the eccentric but handsome man, bowed to him with his sincere face.

Shi Yan was surprised. He nodded and said, "Everyone strives hard."

Lie Feng wasn't enraged. Since he had reached Spirit Realm, he had an absolute and blind confidence, with a boiling fighting will. This man was the most dangerous opponent.

Also, he was someone he had respected.

Nie Rue glared at Lie Feng and nodded silently.

Yun Hao appeared amazed, looking at Lie Feng as he complimented, "Kid, you are not ordinary at all. No wonder why Nie Rue has chosen you."

Lie Feng bowed to him with respect, then looked at Shi Yan one more time. "We bid farewell here. When the Secret Territory opens, I'll be waiting for your arrival."

Then, he left together with Nie Ruo and Feng Biao.

Shi Yan couldn't make a head or tail, looking at Yun Hao. "What's that Secret Territory?"

Yun Hao grinned. "An interesting place. After a while, the secret territory will open. You should try harder. Perhaps, you'll meet the one you want to meet there."

Shi Yan's eyes brightened. "I hope to hear more about it."

"We should get back to the God Sect first. After you finish the investiture ceremony, you'll get to know the mysteries of the Secret Territory."

"Yes, sir."After Lin Meng, Yun Hao, and Nie Ruo took their men away, a green spot flashed and then flickered like a firefly inside a ruin in the Spirit Potion Valley.

That green spot gradually swelled. Seconds later, it was as big as a grinder, emitting a strange, cold energy.

A strong suction force shot out from the cave covered in green halo.

Next, pieces of bodies flew up, as if some kind of force was guiding them, entering the light cave continuously.

After fifteen minutes, all cut limbs in the two valleys had been dragged into the evil lair. There was no bloody scene in the two valleys anymore.

Inside the light cave, the ash-gray sky was vast, with space cracks appearing everywhere. Numerous bodies piled up on the green soul sea. Flows of evil green energy were winding the dead bodies like virescent silky fibers, constantly condensing.

Three high-level members of the Dark Spirit Clan with their real bodies were surrounding the pile of bodies to carry out some kind of evil sacrificial ritual above the green soul sea.

It seemed that the members of the Dark Spirit Clan released flows of Soul Consciousness to do some trading with the green soul sea.

After an unknown time, the green soul sea surged, shooting out numerous beams of green light, pouring on the center of the sacrificial altar.

A giant space crack appeared in the vast gray sky. A dark green light shot out from it.

It was a dead soul.

It was different from the normal dead souls, as it had the shape of the members of the Dark Spirit Clan, but without a body. It had just a thin, empty body, but its face was clear. Obviously, this dead soul wasn't affected by the space slits or the green soul sea.

As this dead soul arrived, all the clansmen of the Dark Spirit Soul, no matter with or without a body, all were joyful. They started to come near and bowed to it one by one.

The dead soul moved slowly towards the virescent soul sea. Next, it released the willpower to negotiate with the soul sea. It seemed to demand something as its countenance got excited.

The green soul sea twisted and surged. Souls floating there were like pieces of meat, moving and crawling terrifyingly.

Long after that, the sea soul and the dead soul had come to an agreement. A streak of satisfaction reflected in the dead soul's eyes.

Shortly, thousands of dark green tentacles shot out from the green soul sea, piercing the altar.

Bloody cut limbs on the sacrificial altar seemed to be refined by some kind of evil force. Bloody bones were broken into pieces, while some weaker bones exploded since they couldn't endure the pressure.

After an unknown period, the giant meat sacrificial altar was completely covered in the dark green light, turning into a green chunk of meat.

The dead soul that all Dark Spirit Clan's clansmen worshipped wore an excited face. It was stirred up, gazing at the green meat chunk without blinking.

When the green meat shook gently, the dead soul couldn't wait anymore, directly jumping into it and turning into a flow of light, entering the giant meat block.

When the dead soul entered completely, the meat shook harder. Rings of strange, evil energy rippled from it, which was as strong as the energy from any True God Realm warrior like Nie Ruo or Lin Meng.

That cold, evil soul seemed to have a new home, a new body, to start a new life.

All members of the Dark Spirit Clan screamed while the other dead souls could only cheer silently. Seemed like they had completed the racial transformation that stirred them up to the point they couldn't control.

The green soul sea was tranquil. It didn't surge anymore, gradually retrieving the strange energy.

The body of a new Dark Spirit Clan's member struggled to get out of the meat with tremendous power.

Chapter 562: Evil reputation

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

The Radiant God Cult was situated in the East of the Divine Great Land. There were dozens of kingdoms, grand mountains, and big rivers, spiritual crystals and herbs were abundant. The heaven and earth aura was dense and pure.

The Radiant God Cult were structured with Yun Hao as the Master and his seven Grand Elders. Among the seven elders, Ji Mu and Yue Ying had the First Sky of True God Realm cultivation base. They were cultivating the Flaming Sun Execution and the Silver Moon Execution respectively.

The other five elders, including Xue Mue, were at the Spirit Realm. Xue Mu, Yun Xiu, and Zhao Wo were at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, while Liu Xiao and Zhi Nuo were at the Second Sky of Spirit Realm.

Besides the seven Grand Elders, there were dozens of protectors, whose cultivation base wasn't ordinary. Some of them had reached Spirit Realm.

The Radiant God Cult was big and strong with countless warriors. Hotshots there were as many as dense clouds. Their internal relationships were complicated too. Not all of them tried to live in harmony and peace. There was competition, in bright light and in the dark.

The Radiance Mount was the root of the God Sect. It stored many secret books for cultivating for the God Sect. Also, it was where Yun Hao cultivated.

The seven Grand Elders had their own territories, which had different big or small countries within. These countries just needed to do their duties with the corresponding elders, and would turn in Essence Qi Crystals or valuable cultivating materials.

The seven Grand Elders had chosen children with the special innate endowment in the region. They would invest in them, making them the new members of the God Sect and teach them the techniques of the Radiant God Cult. The children would become their core members.

Shi Yan followed Yun Hao. As soon as he saw the internal area of the Radiant God Cult, he finally realized that the sect was really vast and rich.

They soon reached Mount Radiance. Facing up to look at the majestic, towering mountain, Shi Yan could feel the abundant heaven and earth aura here. Shi Yan was moved. Breathing the spiritual Qi in this mountain helped him feel refreshed.

Mount Radiance jutted up to the sky, piercing through tiers of clouds. From the foot of the mountain, they couldn't even see its peak, but clusters of shining white, cotton clouds wandering about.

Mount Radiance had many kinds of herbs planted on it. Spiritual animals were walking freely here and there. Also, many protectors and warriors were cultivating the herbs there.

A pavilion was situated in the middle of Mount Radiance's flank.

Six Elders, including Ji Mu, Yue Ying, Yun Xiu, Zhao Wo, Liu Xiao, and Zhi Nuo, were seated at six different corners. Their disciples were discussing outside the pavilion.

"Master sent the message to ask us to gather at Mount Radiance. I heard that he wants to hold the investiture ceremony for a kid." Yun Xiu was a middle-aged woman wearing a yellow royal robe. Her eyebrows were as beautiful as drawings. She had an oval face, with soft and smooth skin. Her bearing was elegant and graceful. She took a sip of her tea, then slightly frowned. "I don't know who's worth such treatment from the Master."

"Before that, Xue Mu told me that the one who's about to join out sect comes from the Endless Sea." Ji Mu beamed a faint smile. "I didn't expect that such a rural area like the Endless Sea could produce a talented youth. Seems like we need to take care of that place more."

"Endless Sea…" Zhao Wo snorted, "What kind of talented young men that remote, barbarian area can nurture? I think the Cult Master just wants to make a small thing big."

"Do you know what's young man's name?" Yue Yin asked softly.

Yue Ying was also female. She had a long ginger hair that draped over her shoulder. She looked roughly twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. This woman was long-limbed, wearing a dark green dress with silvery embroidery. She looked as mild and elegant as a lotus. Her eyes were bright, and her aura was like the cold moon.

"Shi Yan something," Ji Mu frowned.

"Shi Yan…" Yue Ying's face suddenly became cold. She snorted, "I've heard this name."

Ji Mu, Zhao Wa, Yun Xiu, and the others had their eyes lit up, looking at her but didn't say anything.

"I have insiders in the Fighting Union. I heard that when this brat arrived at the Divine Great Land, he had an ambiguous relationship with the four snow flowers of the Ice Emperor City. This brat was sinking into their beauty and had fun there. He has caused Bing Qing Tong's group to turn their back to the Ning family. They've caused grudge against the Nings. Heaven Temple has also put an eye on him. They want to kill him indeed."

Yue Yin explained with a faint visage.

"Turns out he has some tricks," Ji Mu grinned. "Bing Qing Tong wouldn't be deceived by a gigolo easily. But if he could have an affair with her, I kinda admire him."

"You don't understand my point here," Yue Ying arched her brows, replying coldly. "He has an impure relationship with all four women, Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing!"

The three men present there, Ji Mu, Zhao Wo, and Liu Xiao were terrified, revealing their admiring faces as they secretly complimented the young man in their minds.

The four frosting snow flowers of the Ice Emperor City were famous in the Divine Great Land. Many experts, who claimed themselves to be distinguished and accomplished, all wanted to get the attention of these four snow flowers. But none of them had ever succeeded.

Shi Yan had just arrived the Divine Great Land and he had an ambiguous relationship with these four flowers that fast. This stunned Ji Mu and the others, as they envied him a lot.

"Let aside his realm, his tricks in hunting for beauty's superb." Zhao Wo constantly appraised, "The four snow flowers have kept themselves pure. The Ice Jade Technique they're cultivating requires a pure body, which restrains them from having affairs. This kid is tremendous that he can make the four of them submit to him."

Ji Mu and Liu Xiao also nodded, continually acclaiming the young man.

Yue Ying, Yun Xiu, and Zhi Nuo filled their faces with disdain. They suddenly became cold, snorting.

Ji Mu and the other two beamed a wry smile, but didn't concern themselves with it much. They were curious to know the details.

Yue Yin wore a cold countenance as she was cursing under her breath that no man was really a gentleman. "That brat caused grudges against Ning Du Quan. The Nings hate him, and so does the Heaven Temple. I don't know how many troubles will come with him later on."

"If Master asked us to wait, it's obvious that he favors this kid a lot. Under our Master's protection, what can the Heaven Temple do?" Ji Mu cracked a faint smile and didn't pay attention to Yue Ying's words.

"Our Master has good vision. The one he has favored shouldn't be an ordinary warrior." Liu Xiao was bewildered for a while, then said to Ji Mu. "You had found Yu Le. You and Xue Mu have invested much into him. Arent you afraid that after that kid comes here, he will replace Yu Le?"

Ji Mu was stunned, but he felt funny. "Even if that kid can be more powerful, he isn't Yu Le's match… not strong enough to be a threat. I respect his tricks in hunting beauties, but I know Yu Le. And, I don't think that a kid from the Endless Sea could replace his position in the God Sect."

Yue Ying, Yun Xiu, and Liu Xiao nodded silently.

Yu Le had been an excellent disciple of the Radiant God Cult for years. His innate talent was earth-shaking. All of them had been watching Yu Le growing up step by step until he reached the current level. They all knew how strong Yu Le was. That's why they didn't think that Shi Yan could become a threat to Yu Le.

"At most, he's at the level of Han Chang or Li Mu Yu." Ji Mu smiled, not too concerned.

"What about Mu Yu?" snorted Yue Ying. "If her fortune was better, she could have broken through the True God Realm. I think even Yu Le couldn't defeat her at that time! Harrumph. I've trained Mu Yu myself, and I know her competence."

Ji Mu gave her a wry smile. "Alright, she's great. I'm not going to quarrel with you. Let the reality answer."

Yue Ying snorted, and didn't try to debate with him further.

Right at this moment, a beam of Soul Consciousness expanded from the peak of Mount Radiance.

Ji Mu's group was shaken. All of them shot up from their seats, taking their disciples to the peak of the mountain.

Mount Radiance's summit.

Stone and metal buildings towered the place. The ground was level, with the majestic grand palace situated in the middle. The stone pillars of the palace were carved with flying dragons and roaring tigers, seeming live.

A purple-red light flashed as Yun Hao, Shi Yan, and Xue Mu appeared in front of the palace in the center.

Ji Mu's group had been waiting for them. When they saw Yun Hao, they bent to greet him.

Yun Hao waved his hand, beaming a faint smile. "I believe you guys have received my message. The temple's arranged properly. We should proceed the investiture ceremony right away."

Ji Mu, Yue Ying, and the other nodded as light shone radiantly. They all gazed at Shi Yan.

"Shi Yan, let me introduce," Yun Hao grinned, "They are Ji Mu and Yue Ying. They're all at the First Sky of True God Realm. This is…"

Shi Yan slightly bent his body to greet them. He said, "Greetings, Elders."

"Alright, let's get to the temple for the ceremony. The seven Grand Elders and I will certify it. It's enough to give you face, right?" Yun Hao laughed cheerily, then strode into the temple.

The temple was solemn and well-prepared. Smoke meandered from incense burners, while the light of the sun, moon, and stars shone in the sky. Strange light spots showered like it was raining.

The initiation ceremony was tedious. Under Yun Hao's guidance, Shi Yan carefully completed everything. He kept a calm and sound mind from the beginning to the end. He wasn't urgent or cautious.

After he'd bathed and changed his cloth, he came to bow to the ancestors of the God Sect. Then, he received the Sacred Light Shower performed by Yun Hao. Shi Yan had completed the last step of the ritual to officially become a disciple of the Radiant God Cult.

During the whole process, the seven Grand Elders were watching him silently, their eyes bright.

When he finished the ceremony, the seven Elders were amazed. Their appraisal for him increased a little bit.

This kid from the Endless Sea didn't show a streak of fear under such a big and solemn ceremony. He was deliberate, as if he had experienced bigger situations, which made people feel strange.

"From now on, you're the disciple of our God Sect. The God Sect will shelter you, but you have to offer all to the God Sect…" Yun Hao was like a hoax medium, describing in details the doctrines of the God Sect. Eventually, he talked to Yue Ying. "I'm going to leave here to the Spirit Martial Palace to discuss important matters. I'll give Shi Yan to you. You will tell him about the internal regulations and taboos. And, find a territory for him to take care of…"

Yue Ying bowed her head to receive the order.

"The Secret Territory's about to open. This time, we have to put forth everything to counter. Before it opens, you have to help Shi Yan understand the martial techniques of the Radiant God Cult…" Yun Hao continued to advise her.

Yue Ying nodded continually.

The other elders observed quietly as their thoughts quickly crossed their minds. They were a bit surprised.

After Yun Hao had finished all arrangement, he smiled at Shi Yan. "You've just joined us, so we won't give you too many good treats. Our Radiant God Cult will not be impartial in administering rewards and punishments. The more you contribute to the God Sect, the more rewards you will receive. You should be prepared."

Shi Yan kept silent.

Yun Hao arranged everything, then called the seven Grand Elders to conduct a meeting in the secret chamber. After that, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Chapter 563: Big Dipper God Arrow

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

After Yun Hao had gone, elders like Ji Mu, Xue Mu, and Liu Xiao also left one after another. Yue Ying didn't hurry. She stayed in the Secret Library in the temple of the Radiant God Cult, picking an ancient book of the Big Dipper God Arrow. When she went out, she threw the book to Shi Yan. "You take this book of Big Dipper God Arrow and cultivate."

Shi Yan received the book, smiled, and thanked her.

This woman kept a cold attitude towards him from the beginning. Faint hatred flashed in her eyes, which confused him. He didn't know when he had displeased this woman.

"Mu Yu, take him to the Northern Gem Mountain. From now on, the Northern Gem Mountain will become his cultivating place," assigned Yue Ying.

Li Mu Yu regarded her. The corner of her mouth showed that she was taking a bit pleasure in the other's misfortune.

Shi Yan knitted his eyebrows.

From what he could observe from Yue Ying and Li Mu Yu's complexions, he understood that Northern Gem Mountain wouldn't be a nice place. Although he wasn't so pleased with Yue Ying's arrangement, he couldn't do anything.

This woman was a True God Realm expert, and that she could subdue him in every aspect. A man standing under the eaves had to bend his head. Currently, he just needed a shelter. He didn't have a bigger hope.

Li Yu Mu wore an indifferent face, letting out a slight snort. "Follow me."

Shi Yan followed her nonchalantly.The Northern Gem Mountain…

Six high, uneven mountains didn't have a single blade of grass. This area was around a hundred li square. There was a small city, whose population didn't surpass several thousand. They didn't have hotshots, valuable mines, or spiritual herbs.

Although the Northern Gem Mountain belonged to the Radiant God Cult, it was a barren and remote area under the direct management of Yue Ying. However, this woman had never cared about this place.

The Northern Gem Mountain wasn't suitable for warriors to cultivate, since it didn't have a mineral lode or cultivating materials. Spiritual Qi here was dilute, not as rich as even some small islands in Endless Sea.

The Northern Gem Mountain was near the Spirit Treasure Sect, adjacent to the Gray Cloud Forest, where many demonic beasts dwelled. People said that there were even level 8 demonic beasts living there. It was a good place for the Radiant God Cult's disciples to hunt the demonic beasts and train themselves.

Along the way there, Li Mu Yu didn't talk much. She kept a distant attitude towards Shi Yan. After she took him to the back of the Northern Gem Mountain, she said, "This is the place my Master arranged for you. From now on, this area belongs to you. You will manage the Northern Gem City, too. You will receive the yearly offerings from this city. And, you're now in charge of maintaining the Northern Gem City, preventing the attacks from demonic beasts.

"Is it the place?" Shi Yan floated in the air with a gloomy face. He released his Soul Consciousness for a while and felt extremely disappointed.

The Northern Gem Mountain situated in an area of several hundred li square, but there was no Nirvana Realm warrior. Under his Soul Consciousness, nothing was concealed above or under the ground. No mineral lodes, no special spiritual herbs, and the heaven and earth aura was dilute. Basically, this wasn't a good place for warriors to cultivate.

"Yes, it is," Li Mu Yu laughed in her head, but she appeared unconcerned. She snorted and said, "You should stay here and cultivate. If you want to accomplish the Big Dipper God Arrow soon, you should take a good care of this Northern Gem Mountain."

After saying those words, Li Mu Yu left the Northern Gem Mountain.

Spiritual Qi was dense and immense in High Cloud Pavilion. This was where Yue Ying cultivated. It was placed in the center of an area surrounded by many high mountains and big rivers. Crystal clear lakes were everywhere. They planted a lot of spiritual herbs to cultivate medicine, and flowers bloomed year round.

Li Mu Yu returned to the place, then directly came to High Cloud Pavilion and reported to Yue Ying.

Yue Ying nodded, her face cold. "That kid doesn't have good manners. You shouldn't contact him much. Since he has come, he will have conflicts with Yu Le and Han Chang soon. When they mess up, we just stay aside. We don't need to concern with him."

Li Mu Yu replied her with respect. "Teacher, his innate endowment is really extraordinary. In the Precious Tool Valley, he had defeated Hao Hai, Chang Wo, and Lie Feng successively. At that time, he had only the Sky Realm cultivation base. After around ten days, he broke through Spirit Realm. However, he's arrogant, and his disposition is cruel. He had slaughtered innocent people in the Precious Tool Valley. People hate him, but they are afraid of him."

"Although the God Sect has many properties, not many places are really good lands. The Cult Master favors him a lot. Perhaps, he will take him to the Secret Territory when it opens. You have to try harder. Don't let the other suppress you," advised Yue Ying.

Li Mu Yu nodded.Shi Yan floated above the Northern Gem Mountain. His Soul Consciousness traveled many places, but he didn't find any precious materials. Shi Yan felt really disappointed.

Anyway, he didn't have big expectations. He found a random cave in the Northern Gem Mountain, got in and summoned the Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, the Holy Spirit God, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm. "There're demonic beasts in the Gray Cloud Forest and some cultivating materials. You guys can go out and take a walk. Also, help me find some materials."

Then, he told them the names of the materials he needed.

The Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Holy Spirit God soon had a high intellect, especially the King of Demonic Insects and the Holy Spirit God. They had a wide knowledge of human warriors' cultivating materials. The King of Demonic Insects and the Holy Spirit God had memorized the materials he asked.

The four strange living beings left the Northern Gem Mountain and went to the Gray Cloud Forest to find the cultivating materials as Shi Yan had advised them.

Shi Yan continued to build a massive-scaled Teleportation Formation, which connected to the Endless Sea.

However, a big Teleport Formation required many kinds of materials. Although Shi Yan's Storage Ring had many Essence Qi Crystals, he didn't have many precious materials. There were many things he couldn't buy with Essence Qi Crystals.

Even though Yun Hao favored him, he couldn't violate the Cult's rules by giving him the properties of the Cult.

He could only help himself.

It was lucky that he had arms. King of Demonic Insects, the Ghost Hunter, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm were formidable beasts. They couldn't be defeat in the Gray Cloud Forest. As long as there were some materials in the forest, they could dig them up for him.

What made him worried was the Ethereal Crystal.

The Ethereal Crystal was a fundamental material that the Teleportation Formation needed the most. He could find alternatives for the other materials, but not the Ethereal Crystals. Without the Ethereal Crystal, even if he had comprehended the mysteries of the Teleportation Formation, he couldn't build it.

However, in the entire Divine Great Land, the Ethereal Crystal was really scarce. The Precious Tool Valley didn't have it. He didn't know where to find the crystal.

He didn't ask Yue Ying, since he knew she wouldn't help them even if he asked her.

Inside the mountain flank, Shi Yan took a deep breath and then took out the Big Dipper God Arrow book, concentrated his mind, and started reading it.

The Big Dipper God Arrow was a secret technique that used the Star Martial Spirit to attack with the star power. It would be condensed according to the position of the Northern Seven-star into the Big Dipper Arrow. Then, the user had to pour the Essence Qi constantly into it to shoot it out.

When he was in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, Zhao Feng had told him about the mysteries of the Big Dipper God Arrow. However, the situation had been rushed at that time, so they couldn't talk much about the technique of the Big Dipper God Arrow.

Shi Yan read through the Big Dipper God Arrow book once. His eyes lit up as he was amazed.

Compared to the simple description of Zhao Feng, this Big Dipper God Arrow book was much complicated, and the techniques there were more exquisite.

Of course, performing the Big Dipper God Arrow couldn't be separated from using the Star power.

However, besides the power of Stars, he could pour the Essence Qi into the Big Dipper God Arrow. The Big Dipper God Arrow used the Star power to condense the bow, and the Essence Qi to create the arrows. Or, he could use the Stars power to make the arrows. Also, he could combine the Essence Qi and the Stars power to make the most powerful arrow.

The Big Dipper God Arrow had five types. They were the Star Falling, Star Raindrop, Meteor Catching Moon, Mighty Galaxy, and Seven Stars Brilliant World. Each type required the combination of star power and Essence Qi. The Essence Qi would form different styles of attacks. Each type had a different formation. The power of the Big Dipper God Arrow would grow together with the improvement of Realm and Essence Qi.

After thinking for a while, Shi Yan's eyes became brighter. He realized that this Big Dipper God Arrow was somehow miraculous. If he could master it, it would be a big help.

He repressed the bad feeling in his heart, staying in the Northern Gem Mountain to study the Big Dipper God Arrow.

With the experience he had from comprehending space power, when he tried to feel the mysteries of the Big Dipper God Arrow, he could progress fast.

Compared to the complicated and abstruse Teleportation Formation, this Big Dipper Arrow had neither changes nor matters that he couldn't understand. As long as he practiced enough times, it wasn't difficult to control the Big Dipper God Arrow.

Half a day later, at midnight in the Northern Gem Mountain…

A silhouette was floating in the air. He was urging the Star power, condensing a Big Dipper Bow. Crystal clear, shining arrows were set on the bow, then shot out fiercely.

Each arrow was formed by the combined power of star power and Essence Qi. They darted at fast speed in the air.

The arrows were like a dense shower of swords, gathering into a bunch, plunging down rapidly and then expanding like eye-catching fireworks. Energy fluctuations shot out everywhere like water pouring from the galaxy, extremely magnificent.

This beautiful scene was like a meteor shower. Radiant rays shot out that could enchant people.

Many low-realm warriors in the Northern Gem City moved to watch the scene. They were observing the firework performance from afar. All of them were surprised and constantly complimenting.

Long after that, Shi Yan retrieved his power. While feeling the star power moving in him, his face was bright and joyful.

The Big Dipper God Arrow martial technique wasn't as evil as the Gravitational Field, nor as tyrannical as Rampage, or as eccentric as the Death and Life Seal. However, this martial technique could release the Star power in his body with a relatively strong power.

What surprised Shi Yan more was that his Soul Consciousness could be enclosed with each arrow, and he could control the flying trajectory of the arrow!

After he had reached the Spirit Realm, his Soul Consciousness had been strengthened with space power, which had a tremendous piercing power and lightning speed. The arrow with his Soul Consciousness was cunning, fast, and bursting, as if it could cross the space. This was extremely extraordinary.

Each arrow carried along a flow of Soul Consciousness, using it to direct the arrow. Also, it enhanced the power of the arrow.

The Big Dipper God Arrow wasn't an extremely profound martial technique, but in his hands, it seemed to vary miraculously. Each type he performed was earth-shaking.

Shi Yan breathed gently. Each arrow was sometimes fast, sometimes slow. They flashed in the air, sometimes dazzling, sometimes dim.

All of a sudden, numerous rays of starlight gathered around him from all directions like birds returning home.

The beautiful starlight disappeared into his body, and the star halo in his body changed accordingly. Spots of starlight twinkled unceasingly in his heart. It seemed like some special change was happening.

Shi Yan was amazed. He hurried to concentrate his mind and felt it.

Chapter 564: Fusing light energy!

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Shi Yan was floating above the six barren mountains of the Northern Gem Mountain, his face stunned. After using the Big Dipper God Arrow this time, his Star Martial Spirit seemed to have a positive change.

Shi Yan concentrated on sensing.

Spots of starlight scattered in his heart, among which, he saw one blazing cluster containing the sun Qi. This star looked dazzling.

That light spot represented the Sun.

Around that cluster of light were seven other light spots which assumed the position of the Big Dipper. This arrangement was similar to the variable Big Dipper God Arrow he had performed.

At this moment, from the sunlight emitted from that small sun, waves of flaming energy sometimes rippled, then gathered at the spots of the Big Dipper.

Receiving the Sun power, the light spots of the Big Dipper dazzled as if they were breaking apart. That blazing halo vaguely blended with a red hue.

Shi Yan was amazed.

He quietly moved his Soul Consciousness, guiding it into that Sun power cluster which facilitated the absorption of the Sun power.

His magical Soul Consciousness silently manipulated the small sun, accelerating the flowing speed of Sun power.

When more flaming sun power poured into the Big Dipper, Shi Yan could feel clearly that the starlight and sunlight were fused, which upgraded the power of the Big Dipper.

Shi Yan was stunned and happy at the same time. He controlled the Soul Consciousness to move faster.

Gradually, more flaming sun power emitted from the small sun. Thriving along with the increasing flaming sun power, the Big Dipper started to have a magnificent change…

After a long while, no matter how much more flaming sun energy poured into it, the change of the Big Dipper's energy had halted. Seemed like it was saturated.

Losing the control of Soul Consciousness, Shi Yan sensed his body. He could feel the enhanced power in the Big Dipper after the energy fusion clearly.

Shi Yan was happy, but he didn't stop there, using the stimulating technique of the Big Dipper God Arrow to guide the Star power.

As his thought just flickered, the Big Dipper in his heart fiercely shot out a thick column of light energy.

Strong energy quickly gathered in front of him, forming seven light spots, which had a dark red core of the sun power, and was covered in silvery halo.

While his thought changing, the Big Dipper Bow was shaped. Shi Yan poured his Essence Qi, as an arrow was formed gradually.

This arrow had the energy from his Essence Qi, and the Big Dipper Bow had the power of the sun and star. These three kinds of energy gathered, and the arrow radiated magnificently, its halo dazzling.

Swoosh!

The arrow tore the space as a fast meteor, darting towards the opposite mountain in just a blink.

Puff!

The arrow pierced deeply into the mountain range, thrusting through the rigid mountain flank like cutting through thin paper. Rocks collapsed at the first encounter.

A seemingly endless hole as big as children's arm pierced deep into the mountain.

Shi Yan was overjoyed. He came and checked it carefully, then couldn't help but laugh cheerily.

It turned out he could use the fusion of star martial spirit's power and the flaming sun energy that way.

Energies of the Flaming Sun, the Silver Moon, and the Star of the Radiant God Cult were the inherited powers. Each martial technique comprehended from the power Upanishad were interlinked.

The light power formed by the fusion of Sun power and Star power, of course, was stronger than the single Star power.

This arrow had a much stronger piercing force, with greater bursting power than before.

The Big Dipper God Arrow wasn't too profound a martial technique. However, in his hands, it had complicated variables with increasing power.

With this path, Shi Yan imagined that he could apply the same method to any martial techniques which utilized the Star power. He could pour the flaming sun energy into the martial technique to increase its power.

No wonder why Yun Hao could subdue the other Elders of the Radiant God Cult.

When he could fuse the power of the Flaming Sun, Silver Moon, and Star, the same martial technique in his hand would be thrice as strong as what the Elders could do!

This was just a conservative estimation!

At this moment, Shi Yan couldn't define the increasing power of the fused light energy, but he thought that it shouldn't be that simple an increase.

He found it hard to predict the actual power, but he could confirm that if Yun Hao performed the Big Dipper God Arrow, its power had to be obviously tremendous.

Fusion was the kingly path!

At this moment, Shi Yan finally understood why the Radiant God Cult considered fusing the three powers their most precious asset.

And, he finally knew why only the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult knew the fusing technique.

It was like Shi Yan had sudden picked up a treasure on the street. He realized that joining the Radiant God Cult this time was a wise decision. Otherwise, his Star Martial Spirit could never promote to its best competence.

He had spent several days continually in the Northern Gem Mountain to study the technique to apply the combined Flaming energy and Star energy more carefully.

Along his ascetic cultivating process, his understanding of the Big Dipper God Arrow had reached a profound level, that was far beyond Yue Ying's estimation.Ten days later, Ghost Hunter, King of Demonic Insects, Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the Holy Spirit God had come back, bringing with them materials for refining weapons and many bones and Crystal Stones from demonic beasts.

These four strange living beings had followed his advice to enter the Gray Cloud Forest, where many demonic beasts were dwelling. They had a big harvest this time.

Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and Devouring Gold Silkworm seemed to have absorbed some effective energy from some beasts. Their aura had a clear change.

The Holy Spirit God was a special existence, so it couldn't use the beasts to enhance its power. Among the four, it had the smallest change.

In the cave…

Looking at the cultivating material presenting plentifully on the ground, Shi Yan was smiling widely, constantly appraising, "Not bad, not bad. Everybody has spent good effort."

While speaking to them, he squeezed some drops of his Immortal Blood and gave them to the three beasts.

The Ghost Hunter seemed to have a desire for his Immortal Blood too. Similar to the King of Demonic Insects, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, this beast could use his blood to strengthen its power.

Cultivating materials were abundant in his cave. Some of them could be used to build Teleportation Formation. Shi Yan wasn't surprised on seeing them.

There were some beasts living in the Gray Cloud Forest, but that place couldn't have all the materials needed for his Teleportation Formation. Seeing such an amount of materials, he was happy already.

After categorizing and stacking them away, Shi Yan didn't assign more tasks to them, retrieving them one by one into the Blood Vein Ring. Then, he considered in silence.

He still lacked a lot of materials to build a Teleportation Formation, especially the Ethereal Crystal.

The Radiant God Cult also had a special place to do trading of cultivating materials. Disciples of the sect could exchange their goods or buy them with Essence Qi Crystals.

However, the Radiant God Cult's transaction field was limited, and it wasn't open all the time.

Shi Yan remembered the Spirit Treasure Sect, which was adjacent to the Northern Gem Mountain.

The Spirit Treasure Sect was one of the seven old factions in Divine Great Land, which was the richest force. They had a big addiction to collecting cultivating and refining materials.

Warriors of the Spirit Treasure Sect would choose to depend on external resources in their cultivating way.

Secret treasures and pellets were essential for Spirit Treasure Sect's warriors. And because of that factor, the Spirit Treasure Sect had a structure of specialized blacksmiths and alchemists. For instance, Li Zheng Rong was originally from the Spirit Treasure Sect, but no one knew why he had left the sect and cultivated alone.

The Spirit Treasure Sect not only collected the materials, but also traded them. Each region of the Sect had its own transaction field of a big scale.

Shi Yan now lacked many types of materials for his refining weapon practice. Perhaps he couldn't collect them in the Radiant God Cult, but he would have big opportunities in the transaction fields of the Spirit Treasure Sect.

His thoughts had flickered for a while, then Shi Yan smiled as he decided to visit the Spirit Treasure Sect. He would sell a part of the materials he didn't need, and try to find sufficient materials to build the Teleportation Formation.

He didn't care about the Northern Gem Mountain. Since he had come here, he had never visited the Northern Gem City. He considered this place a foothold of his, and he didn't have a feeling of possessing the area.

Thus, before leaving, he didn't need to make any arrangements, directly flying away.

The Spirit Treasure Sect was situated next to the Northern Gem Mountain. After flying across an immense meadow, Shi Yan appeared in the territory of the Spirit Treasure Sect.

In the Divine Great Land, although the Spirit Treasure Sect was one of the seven ancient factions, it didn't advocate fighting. Quite the contrary, it was like a businessman, as it kept a harmonious relationship with all forces.

People in the Spirit Treasure Sect weren't anti-foreign. Most of the warriors there came from other places. Just like Shi Yan, they came here to sell the materials or find secret treasures, martial techniques, and materials that they couldn't buy anywhere else.

This sect was really open, and they always welcomed visitors.

The Wonderful Stone City of Spirit Treasure Sect had shops everywhere, which was several times bigger and more crowded than the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley.

Warriors visiting the Wonderful Stone City came from everywhere. They were the disciples of the Pure Land, the Radiant God Cult, the Devil Valley, or even the Martial Spirit Palace. However, a big part of them were all warriors of some small sects and schools.

Spirit Treasure Sect didn't reject anyone. They didn't sell tickets to enter their cities, since countless colorful shops along the street were their true money trees.

Most of the store owners in the Wonderful Stone City were the disciples of the Spirit Treasure Sect.

Each disciple of the Spirit Treasure Sect had sharp eyes in inspecting treasures. They were smart businessmen. They had exploited the advantages of their territory to collect cultivating materials, selling crystals and medicine that they didn't need. Through this market, they collected more treasures and pellets to maintain their strong fighting competence.

Shi Yan strolled in the Wonderful Stone City in excitement, visiting each store.

Indeed, there were many crystals and other wooden tools needed for his Teleportation Formation which Shi Yan had found in the Wonderful Stone City. Along the way, after cleaning up ten shops, he had a big harvest, collecting almost all the necessary materials.

Shi Yan then went to a big store that collected materials from warriors. Shi Yan exchanged all the stuff he didn't need in the Storage Ring to Essence Qi Crystals.

After this business, the number of Qi Crystals in his Storage Ring had been stacked up thickly.

"Shi Yan!"

A pleasantly surprised voice came from the road ahead of him. Right after that, a silhouette flew over, wearing the complexion of meeting a long lost friend – Ye Chang Feng.

Chapter 565: Wonderful Stone City

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Shi Yan was startled. When he realized that it was Ye Chang Feng, he smiled.

It'd been several years after they had separated in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, Shi Yan went to the Divine Great Land and the Dead Soul Mountain range. He thought that he could meet Ye Chang Feng there. However, this brat had gone to seek his freedom somewhere else. Even Li Zheng Rong couldn't find him.

Shi Yan had come to the Wonderful Stone City to collect the materials for his Teleportation Formation. It was their destiny they could meet up here.

Ye Chang Feng laughed cheerily, walking towards him.

Follow him were three other people Shi Yan had known, Lin Zhi, Luo Xiao, and Luo Meng.

He had met these three in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist.

As for Lin Zhi with her hot body, not only had he met her in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, he had slapped her several times. Seeing her now, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Lin Zhi felt a bit awkward too. She lingered in the distance, away from them. Brothers Luo Xiao and Luo Meng had to call her several times. She then reluctantly walked towards them.

"Bro, you do know how to struggle well. After you came to the Divine Great Land, I've heard many rumors about you," Ye Chang Feng smiled evilly. "Well, is it true that the four snow flowers of the Ice Emperor City have a relationship with you?"

Shi Yan was stunned.

This dude didn't inquire about anything but this matter. Well, men were always men.

"No serious relationship. We are just friend. Normal friends," Shi Yan smiled begrudgingly.

Luo Xiao and Luo Meng came over with the same evil smiles on their faces. They continually gave him compliments. They seemed to have a big desire, too.

"Stop it. People rumor that you have subdued the four snow flowers of the Ice Emperor City. I have heard that even Qing Ting Dong and her sisters keep silent when they talk about the relationship with you. Your denial doesn't work, bro," laughed Ye Chang Feng.

Lin Zhi pouted. When she joined the group, her face was filled with disdain while her eyes reflected her hatred.

Shi Yan ignored this woman. He talked with Ye Chang Feng, Luo Xiao, and Luo Meng, asking them what they had been through these years.

"We aren't worth mentioning. Surely, our experience isn't as interesting as yours." Ye Chang Feng put on a sobbing countenance. "The Old Demon forced me to study the spiritual formations every day. I have struggled hard to get rid of it. Then, the Old Demon asked me to tell him all the things I've experienced with you. Bro, you're a disaster. Any place you go, accidents happen there. Sigh! Since you've visited the Dead Soul Mountain Range, no one dares to go to that place anymore. My teacher had to move out too."

The catastrophe of the Dead Soul Mountain range had spread out all over the Divine Great Land without him realizing it.

No matter it was the seven ancient factions or the disciples of the small sects, they tried to utilize their means to get the situation over there.

Before the danger of the dead souls' evil lair was solved, no warrior, blacksmith, or alchemist dared to return to the Dead Soul Mountain range. At the moment, the holy place of the alchemists and the blacksmiths had become isolated.

Although Li Zheng Rong and Ke Da were strong, they weren't as strong as Yun Hao and the others. Even Yun Hao and Nie Ruo couldn't solve the dead souls' evil lair problem. So, Li Zheng Rong and the others, of course, had no other way around.

Reluctantly, Li Zheng Rong and his people had to leave the Dead Soul Mountain range and find new places to cultivate.

According to Ye Chang Feng, Li Zheng Rong and Lin Ya Qi would come to the Wonderful Stone City and stay there for a while.

After several years, Ye Chang Feng didn't have many changes. His realm was now the Second Sky of Nirvana Realm. Except for that, he had nothing earth-shaking. He didn't talk much. After narrating his brief story, he shut his mouth.

However, Luo Xiao and Luo Meng had a great interest in the relationship between Shi Yan and Bing Qing Tong's group. They kept asking questions.

Shi Yan didn't want to talk about this. He just beamed a wry smile and kept silent. Brothers Luo Xiou couldn't help but ask Ye Chang Feng to exploit the information from Shi Yan.

"Alright, don't ask too many questions. It's not as dirty as you thought." Shi Yan smiled forcefully, grunted to the three pervert men who were really persistent with the matter. "Why did you guys come to this Wonderful Stone City?"

"Of course, we should be in the Wonderful Stone City," Luo Xiao continued, "My teacher's the City Master of the Wonderful Stone City. If I don't stay here, where else I can go?"

"Luo Xiao, Luo Meng, and Lin Zhi da-jie are all the apprentices of Old Zhu. This Wonderful Stone City is Old Zhu's territory," explained Ye Chang Feng.

Shi Yan was surprised.

He knew that Old Zhu was Zhu Yi, the master of Wonderful Stone City, one of the Elders of the Spirit Treasure Sect.

However, he didn't expect that Lin Zhi, Luo Xiao, and Luo Meng were Zhu Yi's disciples.

Zhu Yi had the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, with a good reputation in the Spirit Treasure Sect. He understood doing business well. Under his management, the Wonderful Stone City was polished and lively, which attracted so many warriors here for cultivating materials.

This person was neither an alchemist nor a blacksmith, but he had special knowledge of rare treasures. Just with a glance, he knew how much a type of material should be priced at.

In the Spirit Treasure Sect, Zhu Yi was a rare expert as he always focused on cultivating, his competence excellent.

Since the three of Lin Zhi's group could have him as their teacher, they must have good fortune.

"Oh, that's it." Shi Yan smiled, "I came to the Wonderful Stone City to find some materials I still lack. Thank goodness that I met you here. As you are the host, it would be convenient to help me find them."

Then, he listed more than ten kinds of material he needed.

Luo Xiao and Luo Meng listened to him attentively. After he finished, Luo Xiao answered him, "It's not difficult to find the other materials. Even if the Wonderful Stone City doesn't have them, we can help you search in the other cities of the Spirit Treasure Sect. However, the Ethereal Crystal is really rare and precious. We don't have any stores that sell it in the Wonderful Stone City."

Shi Yan felt disappointed.

If the Spirit Treasure Sect didn't have the Ethereal Crystal, he didn't know where else to find it. Without the Ethereal Crystal, building the Teleportation Formation just wasted his effort.

"Do you know where to find the Ethereal Crystal?" Shi Yan mused and asked.

"What do you need it for? The Ethereal Crystal has only one function, which is to build a Teleportation Formation. Do you, do you know how to do that?" Ye Chang Feng was stunned.

Shi Yan just smiled, not wanting to explain. "Do you know where to find it?"

"My teacher knows, I suppose," Lin Zhi suddenly added.

Shi Yan's eyes brightened. "Can you take me to meet your teacher?"

"This shouldn't be a problem," Luo Xiao laughed loudly. "My teacher really likes you. When we came back from the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, we told him about you. It's just been several years, and you have stirred up many things since you came to the Divine Great Land. I think my teacher has a big interest in you."

Shi Yan forced a smile, "Then please take me to meet him."

"No problem."Luo Xiao and Luo Meng led the way. They walked directly to the Wonderful Stone City Palace of the City Master.

Zhu Yi was having some guests. When he heard Luo Xiao and Luo Meng's calling, he wanted to scold them. But, after he got to know the situation, Zhu Yi's eyes brightened.

"Little friend, you are Shi Yan?" Zhu Yi laughed.

Shi Yan nodded.

"Younger generations will surpass us in time indeed," Zhu Yi looked cheerful. He mused, then changed his complexion, looking at a withered old man next to him. "Ye-ge, take a look."

The old man frowned as he was assessing Shi Yan, his face strange.

"Shi Yan, this is my teacher's brother, uncle Ye," Luo Xiao introduced with a smiling face. "Uncle Ye loves freedom. He likes to collect strange things."

Shi Yan was cheered up. He slightly bent his body to greet the old man. "Precursor Ye, do you have the Ethereal Crystal?"

Ye Xiong was an elder of the Spirit Treasure Sect. He liked to travel. He didn't have a permanent address as he didn't stay in the Spirit Treasure Sect for the whole year. He knew many special and peculiar places in the Divine Great Land.

"I have some Ethereal Crystals," Ye Xiong nodded. He pondered for a while and then said, "Anyway, I don't lack anything. And I don't have the intent to exchange them."

Ye Xiong also had the Third Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base. His aura was old and thick, which proved that he was a dangerous expert.

As he said that, Shi Yan felt itchy in his heart and he couldn't repress it. He forced a smile. "Precursor Ye, I really need the Ethereal Crystal. I can pay a high price. Is it possible?"

Ye Xiong shook his head and said deliberately, "I said I don't lack anything, and I don't want to sell it."

Shi Yan was filled with disappointment.

"Ye-ge, don't you need hotshots to accompany you to that place? How about Shi Yan?" Zhu Yi smiled. "You don't stay in the sect for the full year, so your information isn't updated. Don't look down on this young man. He had subdued Ning Du Quan in the Ice Emperor City. I heard that Yu Li Ming, the freak, also died in his hands. If you have him as your company, your chance to win will be better."

Ye Xiong's eyes brightened, but it seemed he didn't buy it. He said louder, "He killed Yu Li Ming? How could it be?"

"Shi Yan, perhaps you should prove your value a bit," Ye Chang Feng added at the right moment.

"If you have this sort of power, I can give you the Ethereal Crystal, as long as you help me with one thing," Ye Xiong said with a serious face.

Shi Yan didn't say anything, summoning the War Devil.

As soon as the War Devil appeared, an earth-destroying aura shot out everywhere.

Lin Zhi, Ye Chang Feng, Luo Xiao, and Luo Meng were startled, forced to back off.

Light shone in Zhu Yi's and Ye Xiong's eyes. They were shivering in thrill.

"Okay!" Ye Xiong shouted. He took a deep breath and said, "I can give it to you."

Shi Yan retrieved the War Devil to his Blood Vein Ring.

"As long as you agree to accompany me to the Shady Firmament Old Mound to catch a Heaven Thunder beast, I'll give you the Ethereal Crystal!" Ye Xiong said briefly.

Shi Yan was stunned.

Shady Firmament Old Mound, Ancient Corpse Tomb, and the Dead Soul Mountain range, were the three hazardous areas in the Divine Great Land.

The Shady Firmament Ancient Mound was in the Spirit Treasure Sect's territory. It was a bizarre prohibited area. Even the experts of the Spirit Treasure Sect didn't dare to operate near it. Rumors said that it had some extremely dangerous barriers made in the Antiquity time.

However, to Shi Yan, the Shady Firmament Old Mound was a special place.

It was the ancestor's land of the Demonic Sound Clan. That place kept the secret treasures and old books written by the Demonic Sound Clan's ancestors. Before he came to the Divine Great Land, he had planned to visit there.

Ye Xiong's condition, although was beyond his anticipation, suited his plan well.

"Not a big deal," Shi Yan agreed immediately.

Chapter 566: Heaven Thunder Beast

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Seeing his frank and straightforward agreement, Ye Xiong was quite happy. "Little brother's frank enough. Don't worry! When we finish the business in the Shady Heaven Old Mound, I'll give you the amount of Ethereal Crystal that pleases your pocket."

Zhu Yi laughed, his face cheerful. "Ye-ge, now that you have another support, you can be more certain about this trip."

Ye Xiong smiled happily.

Heaven Thunder Beast had the thunder attributes. It knew how to use the power of thunder. Among the demonic beasts, Heaven Thunder was a dangerous kind.

Heaven Thunder beasts had different levels, and had the ability to break through the level and evolve. Ye Xiong wanted to capture a level 8 Heaven Thunder beast, which was equivalent to a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior.

Normally, the demonic beasts were one level stronger than human warriors. Moreover, they had innate magical abilities.

Heaven Thunder beasts could control lightning. It had an innate godly strength. Compared to experts at the Peak of Spirit Realm, it was much stronger.

If Ye Xiong relied on only himself to capture the beast, it would be really tough.

"We're waiting for the other two. After they come, we'll depart towards the Shady Firmament Old Mound." Zhu Yi's eyes was a bit strange, "I've heard that you've come to the Radiant God Cult. Where did you depart from?"

"Northern Gem Mountain."

Zhu Yi smiled cheerfully. "Well then, wait to see the other two. I think you know them too."

"Who?"

"Don't be anxious. You'll see them soon."

Zhu Yi and Ye Xiong weren't hurried. After Shi Yan agreed to join them, their attitude towards him became friendlier.

These two warriors then asked him many questions about the Endless Sea. They seemed to be interested in this warriors' gathering spot near the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist.

Shi Yan cooperated with them, but he was surprised inside as he was anticipating who the ones going to join them were.

The time he had spent in the Divine Great Land wasn't too long, and the hotshots he'd met weren't so many. As Zhu Yi and Ye Xiong were the Elders of the Spirit Treasure Sect, Shi Yan guessed that the ones they were waiting for would include Li Zheng Rong.

Ye Chang Feng was here, anyway.

But it was beyond his prediction.

Half a day later, when two women arrived together, Shi Yan was astounded.

They were Yue Ying and Yun Xiu of the Radiant God Cult.

"Hahaha!" Zhu Yi laughed, his face happy. "It's tough to invite Elder Yue and Elder Yun here. Come here, come here, please. We shall discuss the situation first."

"Why are you here?" Yue Ying took Li Mu Yu with her. As she arrived, she rolled her eyes at him, not bothering to hide her snort.

Shi Yan pouted his lips.

"Our journey this time to the Shady Firmament Old Mound has our little friend Shi Yan as a part of it," Zhu Yi smiled and explained. "Shi Yan's realm isn't low, and he has some strange treasures. Elder Yue, you shouldn't look down on our little friend here. When he was in the Ice Emperor City, even Yu Li Ming had to fall."

Yue Ying snorted, her face disdainful. "Borrowing external forces… It isn't he who's really strong."

Shi Yan didn't care about that.

Yun Xiu put aside a lock of her bangs, her smile shining. "Same conditions?"

She looked at Ye Xiong.

Ye Xiong nodded.

Yun Xiu smiled contentedly, "Then it's good. We should make everything clear before the operation, which will facilitate our cooperation."

Yun Xiu also brought a female apprentice. Her cultivation base was the same as Li Mu Yu, Third Sky of Sky Realm. She was called Bai Hui Quan.

This girl had a round, soft face that looked like a sweet apple. She had short maroon hair which made her look energetic, accompanied by a long-limbed body. Like Yun Xiu, she cultivated the Star Execution of the Radiation God Cult.

When Bai Hui Quan arrived, her round eyes gazed at Shi Yan as she beamed a smile, talking with Li Mu Yu in a low voice.

Seemed like she was really curious about Shi Yan as she kept whispering to Li Mu Yu. The other girl didn't want to talk much, and just answered some of her questions.

"Shi Yan, my little friend, please don't find it weird. The Wonderful Stone City and Elder Yue's territory are near. I have a good relationship with Elder Yue, which is normal. Elder Yue and Elder Yun are close friends, so it's natural that they come here together." As Zhu Yi saw Shi Yan being surprised, he smiled and explained.

Shi Yan responded to his explanation with a nod.

"It's just a Heaven Thunder beast. Is it worth a big arrangement like this?" Yue Ying felt suspicious. "Even if we need to capture it alive, it isn't too difficult. Don't you have another plan?" She looked at Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi with a doubtful complexion.

Shi Yan was moved.

Although the Heaven Thunder Beast was a level 8 demonic beast, people sitting here were all Third Sky of Spirit Realm experts.

Especially Zhu Yi and Ye Xiong, they were the elders of the Spirit Treasure Sect; they should have many secret treasures. They surely had something to subdue the Heaven Thunder Beast.

If these two joined hands with the support from their treasures, although catching the Heaven Thunder Beast was hard, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"The problem is that it is not only me who has laid my eyes on that Heaven Thunder Beast." Ye Xiong beamed a forced smile. "Seems that people of the Heaven Temple and the Martial Spirit Palace want that beast too. I want to make it quick. Before they come, we should be done."

When he said that, Yue Ying and Yun Xiu changed their visage.

The Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple were mighty forces that belonged to seven ancient factions. If they encountered these people while catching the beast, it would be troublesome.

"Master Zhu, when you informed me about this case, it seems you didn't mention this situation," Yue Ying frowned, her face unhappy.

She used to think that this wouldn't be too difficult. Moreover, the conditions Zhu Yi, and Ye Xiong offered them weren't bad. That's why they agreed to help them. If she had known that the experts of the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple were involved in this, she wouldn't be that frank.

With two more competitors, the possibilities would vary. She understood that the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple were tough to deal with, as these forces weren't weaker than the Radiant God Cult.

"Don't worry, we won't encounter them," Ye Xiong hurried to explain, "Only I know where the beast is. When we get there, I'll lead the way. We'll find it soon. Even if people of the Heaven Temple and the Martial Spirit Palace arrive earlier, they can't touch the right door."

"Ease your mind. If we meet them, you can just ignore it. We won't let you put forth much effort," Zhu Yi assured.

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu relaxed, and only then nodded to agree.

"Why do you want to catch the Heaven Thunder Beast?" Shi Yan intervened all of a sudden.

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu had just calmed down. When they heard his question, they paid more attention. Their bright eyes gazed at Ye Xiong.

"Umm, I can't talk much about this," Ye Xiong forced a smile.

Shi Yan frowned, but didn't inquire further. He understood that it wasn't a simple matter.

If one took their money, one had to save them from disaster. The deal between him and Ye Xiong was simple. He would help the old man catch the Heaven Thunder Beast, and Ye Xiong would give him the Ethereal Crystal. As to what Ye Xiong needed the beast for, the old man didn't have an obligation to explain it to him.

If Ye Xiong didn't want to talk about it, Shi Yan wouldn't bother him further. Then, he kept silent, waiting for their arrangement.

Soon, Zhe Yi, Ye Xiong, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu had determined the delegates. Ye Xiong was in charge of showing direction. Zhu Yi gave each of them a Sound Stone as the communication tool.

"We'll talk about the weakness and how to catch the Heaven Thunder Beast on the way," Zhu Yi arranged everything and then smiled again, "Ye-ge has been waiting for it for a long time. If you guys don't mind, shall we start now?"

Everybody nodded.

Zhu Yi smiled, taking out a flying crystal carriage. This was a crystal treasure that had hundreds of top-grade Crystal Stone as the engines, together with more than ten kinds of materials to refine. It worked under the control of the Crystal Stone.

This flying carriage was huge; it could carry more than ten persons, flying in the sky like a giant demonic beast. As long as it opened, it cried with the wind.

Zhu Yi and Ye Xiong led everybody to get in the sleigh. Then, they turned around and spoke to Shi Yan and Yue Ying. "Get in. This sleigh has a fast speed. It uses only the energy from Qi Crystals, so we can save our energy. Keep the power, we can use all of our strength in the Shady Firmament Old Mound to catch the beast earlier."

Lin Zhi, Luo Xiao, and Luo Meng felt happy seeing their teacher's signal. They hopped in the carriage.

Ye Xiong didn't take any apprentice, so he was lonely there. However, after he got in the carriage, he sat down quietly, took out a yellowed paper and read it.

"Let's go," Yue Ying didn't hesitate much and nodded to Yun Xiu.

Right after that, the four people got in the flying carriage.

"It… Uncle Zhu, I…" Ye Chang Feng stood on the ground, wanting to join.

"Your teacher's about to arrive. You'd better stay here. I don't want that old ghost to come trouble me," Zhu Yi laughed, but he shook his head to turn down the young man.

Ye Chang Feng felt miserable. He sighed bitterly, "If I knew it, I wouldn't come to the Wonderful Stone City. I have no share in anything."

"Wait for me. When I come back, I'll find you for a drink," Shi Yan grinned, then patted his shoulder and hopped in the flying carriage, sitting next to Li Mu Yu and Bai Hui Quan.

The Crystal Stone formed the foundation of the carriage. It had a purple-red roof. The front was conical with more Crystal Stone, which looked like a sword, narrow at the tip and enlarging at the back.

"Let's go," Ye Xiong urged.

Zhu Yi smiled and nodded. A light shot out from his finger to the top of the flying carriage. The Crystal Stone inside the carriage suddenly brightened dazzlingly like diamonds. Its power was activated torrentially, flying with the wind rapidly as a shooting star, getting out of the Wonderful Stone City instantly.

"Heaven Thunder Beasts are the beasts of Lightning class. They know how to use the power of lightning and thunder. Thus, when we catch them, we can't use any soul techniques and treasures. Lightning power is the soul-killing spear. Treasures and soul techniques would be struck into ashes."

When the flying carriage steadied, Ye Xiong took a deep breath. His face was serious when he explained the dangerous features of Heaven Thunder Beasts.

"Heaven Thunder Beasts don't have a big body, but its skin and fur are thick. It can resist some piercing martial technique naturally. Those beasts are smart. The beast we're going to hunt is a level 8 one, so its skin's really tough. We need sharp weapons, which I have prepared. You guys just need to help me restrain it. I will use the secret treasure to catch it…"

While the flying carriage was moving fast, Ye Xiong frowned, explaining the features of the Heaven Thunder Beast.

Chapter 567: Shady Firmament Old Mound

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

There was a desolated plain in the North of Spirit Treasure Sect. This was a cold, dry area, without a single blade of grass. The ground there had many open cracks.

This plain had countless burrows, like stars in the sky, which tunneled to the deep place underground.

Gloomy, cold wind blew vaguely, chilling the bones. It could even intrude warriors' Sea of Consciousness, which could make people felt its eccentric features from deep inside the soul.

Burrows with different sizes looked like quiet but open mouths of demonic beasts. They were pitch-black, and one couldn't see the mysteries inside. They looked quite dangerous.

No one knows how those burrows were formed. They'd existed since this plain was discovered more than ten thousand years ago.

This place was quite strange. There was no rain; even if one stayed there for dozens of year, he would never see a drop of rain.

According to rumors, this land was the tomb where the corpses of experts were buried in the Antiquity Time. Those mysterious and dangerous borrows drilled into that deep place underground, leading directly to the Shady Firmament Old Mound.After midnight…

Stars scattered in the sky, twinkling like fireflies. The wind howled over the gloomy, isolated plain, chilling to the bones.

A streak of shining light zoomed over, suspending above the plain.

Silhouettes landed one by one from the flying carriage at a giant burrow.

"All the caves in this area dug deep into the underground. Some are very menacing. One wrong step can bury you in this place forever… never to be rescued," Ye Xiong took a deep breath, explaining with a serious countenance. "If you can't identify the direction and go there rashly, you may encounter some ancient barriers which will destroy both your body and soul."

"Be careful! It's unknown for how long the Shady Firmament Old Mound has existed. In the legends, this place has stood here since the Antiquity Time." Zhu Yi was serious, giving advice to Lin Zhi, Luo Xiao, and Luo Meng. "Later on, you can't act carelessly. Stay close to us. Once you're lost, don't move. Use the Sound Stone to call me."

Lin Zhi, Luo Xiao, and Luo Meng nodded slightly, seeming to be scared.

Each warrior in the Divine Great Land had heard about the eccentric, evil features of the Shady Firmament Old Mound. This plain had buried many experts. With one wrong step, the barriers would besiege them. Not many were lucky enough to escape.

Yue Ying and Yun Xin were giving advice to Li Mu Yu and Bai Hui Quan, asking them to be more alert.

Shi Yan frowned as he felt the thick, cold wind pour into his body. His heart shivered.

A cold wind was howling everywhere. No one knew how it was formed. However, this kind of wind had a strong penetration ability, as it could even blow to people's bones, which made the Essence Qi stagnant.

Shi Yan quietly urged his energy, using a bit of the heat from the Earth Flame. A warm current flowed through his entire body. He was moved, as the cold, gloomy feeling was reduced by a great deal.

"Is it the entrance?" Yue Ying's almond eyes lit up a little bit as she was looking at the big cave near her feet and asking with a soft voice.

A cold gust blew through that cave entrance. It was completely dark. The wind was blowing here and there just like some ghosts crying, which could scare people a lot.

"Yes, it is." While Ye Xiong was talking, he took out an indigo elliptic light ball and shot it out.

The light ball fell slowly, its color changing constantly. The deeper the light ball got into the cave, the darker the light was. Later on, the indigo light ball became glistening purple.

"The cold wind's too strong. Wait for a few minutes, we'll get in there." Ye Xiong was familiar with the situation here. He retrieved the light ball and then explained, "Cold wind will activate the barriers inside. As soon as the cold aura in there dilutes, the ancient barriers won't be activated. We should wait."

In this delegation, Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu seemed to have some understanding of the status of this Shady Firmament Old Mound. They nodded to agree with Ye Xiong's plan.

This was the first time Shi Yan and the juniors came to the Shady Firmament Old Mound. They knew nothing about the anomalies here. Thus, they didn't have the right to give their opinions. They had to act as they were told.

"No need to be tense now," Zhu Yi smiled and said with a warm voice since he saw the atmosphere was heavy. "If we don't get into the cave, there's nothing dangerous. Even if the cold gust out there is getting sharper, there's no barrier or fatal danger. Ye-ge has visited here once. He's explored the area. We just need to escort him there. Before we meet that beast, there should be in no danger."

When people heard him saying so, they relaxed their tense nerves a bit.

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!

The sound of bodies tearing through space came from a place far away, coming here with the cold wind.

A surprised light flashed in Ye Xiong's eyes. He shouted, "Someone's coming!"

Shi Yan immediately put up guard.

Zhu Yi exposed the hands he had kept hiding in the sleeves, which wore a lot of gem rings. Each ring was sparkling with amazing light in the dark. They were, of course, his secret treasures.

'Filthy rich, indeed!' Shi Yan acclaimed in his heart.

Each elder of the Spirit Treasure Sect was wealthy. They had collected a lot of secret treasures from managing trading in their cities. Experts of the Spirit Treasure Sect could rely just on the treasures to smash their opponents. And when the others lost, they wouldn't have even seen the full abilities of those Elders.

Their various treasures were clearly effective in increasing their competence. When they had more weapons or tools, they could have more backups during the fight.

Sometimes, a battle could turn into a competition of burning money to see who had more treasures and medicines.

People from the Spirit Treasure Sect were famous for this aspect. They were good at this type of fighting.

The howling wind ceased slowly.

Zhu Yi closed his eyes, as a fluctuating flow of his Soul Consciousness expanded from him, discreetly moving to the direction of the howling wind.

Shi Yan knew he was sensing, so he just waited in silence.

Indeed, five seconds later, Zhu Yi opened his eyes, his face amazed. "Why have they come here…?"

"Who?" Yue Ying inquired immediately.

"Lei Mo of Thunder Emperor City and Ai Po of White Emperor City," frowned Zhu Yi.

Shi Yan arched his brows. His face slightly changed as his mind flickered.

Lei Mo was the City Master of the Thunder Emperor City of Fighting Union. Ai Po was Ai Ya's father, the Master of the White Emperor City. Both of them had the Third Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base. They all liked fighting, which made them tough to deal with.

It wasn't strange that the City Masters of Thunder Emperor City and White Emperor City appeared at Shady Firmament Old Mound. What was strange was, why did they come at this moment?

He couldn't help but look at Ye Xiong.

It was obvious that Ye Xiong had hidden something from them. If not, not many experts would gather at the Shady Firmament Old Mound for only one Heaven Thunder Beast.

According to Ye Xiong, hotshots from the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple would come for this Heaven Thunder Beast, and that they were likely to meet them.

But at this moment, people from Martial Spirit Palace and Heaven Temple hadn't come. Yet, the City Masters of Fighting Union had appeared one step ahead. It should be something concealed.

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu knitted their brows. They didn't look pleased when they looked at Ye Xiong, waiting for his explanation.

"I'm inviting you here to deal with the Heaven Thunder Beast. You don't need to get involved in the other stuff." Ye Xiong relaxed his eyebrows, answering them neither slowly nor fast. Apparently, he didn't want to make things clear.

He stated his opinions already, and the others couldn't do anything now. As they had come here, they could only be persistent, walking on the same path as his.

Shi Yan suddenly recalled Ai Ya. He wondered if this woman would come here too. When they were in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, this woman had trapped him once. If he weren't smart enough, he would have been killed.

In the first exotic land, Ai Ya took the lead and stormed to the intertwining galaxies in the sky. He didn't know what had happened there. When he got up there, she had disappeared.

He had the feeling that Ai Ya had collected something there. After he arrived the Divine Great Land, he had met up with Cai Yi. She told him that Ai Ya had come back to the White Emperor City, and not long after that, she had a breakthrough and started to grow rapidly.

Cai Ya was the precious pearl in Ai Po's hand. He really loved his daughter. If Ai Po came to the Shady Firmament Old Mound this time, he would probably bring her with him.

Upon his thought, Shi Yan wanted to release the Soul Consciousness to sense.

However, right when was about to take action, he felt a sense of soul fluctuation discreetly move above their head.

When his Soul Consciousness was released, he shivered under that soul fluctuation. When he recovered and wanted to pursue it, it had already disappeared into thin air. The place where the howling wind came didn't have any trace of soul fluctuations.

It seemed the other had used some means to conceal their aura and soul fluctuations to prevent their sneaking.

"They detected us," Zhu Yi squinted his eyes and snorted, "Stealthy. They hid their aura. Harrumph! Do they think that I can't do the same?"

Then, an emerald ring on his finger sparkled.

Green waves covered everybody instantly like an upside down bowl.

This is a treasure in soul concealing category.

Waves of this green light prevented Soul Consciousness from piercing through. It covered their vitality fluctuations and aura, exposing nothing that could help identify their whereabouts.

Ye Xiong started to sense the change of the cave again. The light ball floated up and down for a while, but the purple halo didn't have any big change.

Ye Xiong's eyes brightened up. He laughed quietly. "Alright, we can jump down."

Then, Ye Xiong was the first person flying towards that cave. While he was slowly descending, he reminded the others. "Everybody should slow down. Don't rush. Stay close to each other."

"Let's go," Zhu Yi nodded. He swung his hand, as a tender energy covered Luo Xiao, Luo Meng, and Lin Zhi entirely. They slowly sunk down.

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu followed them. Shi Yan was the last one leaving; he was very cautious.Thousands of li away, a group of six, including Lei Mo and Ai Po, was seen standing in front of a cave, frowning.

Ai Ya, the one Shi Yan had just recalled, was here. A young man with a tough and stocky build stood next to her. This man had a pure smile, and he seemed to have a close relationship with Ai Ya.

Ai Ya beamed a weak smile from the corner of her mouth while talking cheerfully with that young man. Perhaps she had forgotten Shi Yan, whom she had met in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. Also, she had never thought that she would meet an old friend, who was a thousand miles away from her, in this ancient burial mound.

"Not much different," Lei Mo laughed, looking at the cave. "We shall go. Ye Xiong and the others seem to have the same purpose as us. We shouldn't let them arrive earlier than us."

Ai Po was really handsome. He nodded, "Yeah, we should hurry up."

This group then slowly jumped into the cave.

Chapter 568: The Subterranean World

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Shi Yan followed Ye Xiong through the entrance to the cave. The soil wall surrounding them had no source of light. The moonlight in the sky couldn't shine to this place, either.

This cave was gloomy, with a cold gust blowing through. The deeper they went, the colder and sharper the wind got.

The cold wind chilled people to their bones. The wind seemed to be able to blow through warriors' Sea of Consciousness, which could freeze the soul as well.

Shi Yan had the flaming power of the Earth Flame moving in him, which helped him neutralize the cold wind and maintain his sound mind.

Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu were warriors with a profound attainment. This kind of a strong, cold wind didn't trouble them much.

On the other side, the juniors, including Luo Xiao and Li Mu Yu, couldn't endure. They were shivering, their bodies chilled.

Ye Xiong and the others didn't try to protect them.

From their point of view, Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu thought that the cold gust in the cave entrance wasn't too fierce. It was good enough to train their disciples. They took Lin Zhi, Li Mu Yu, Bai Hui Quan, Luo Xiao, and Luo Meng here to make them adapt to the conditions of the Shady Firmament Old Mound, using dangers to stimulate them.

Danger and risk could increase the warrior's realm fast. To resist the erosive power of the cold wind, they needed to use both of their will and energy.

This was a good chance to practice.

Zhu Yi didn't take action. Lin Zhi and the others were moving inside the ill-lit cave. Sometimes, they could hear the noise from their teeth chattering.

The cold wind had them freezing.

Shi Yan maintained his slow speed, his face calm. He squinted his eyes, putting up his guard.

Ye Xiong was in the front. Certainly, he was familiar with this place. Along the way, he continually told them the directions and what to avoid.

After two hours, Ye Xiong suddenly shouted curtly, "Everybody, stay alert. We're about to get there."

Everybody was struck.

Shi Yan's eyes brightened a little bit as he was secretly astonished, observing everywhere. He discreetly released his Soul Consciousness. There was no fluctuation of life underground, but the aura here as strangely changing. Great danger seemed to hide somewhere.

An immense white light emitted under their feet, which lit up the gloomy cave a little bit.

Under the white light, Shi Yan suddenly found that Bai Hui Quan was too close to him, as if she intended to shorten the distance between them. A fresh and sweet fragrance like orchid emitted from the little girl.

Shi Yan exhaled gently. He knitted his brows as if he were surprised, looking at the girl.

Under the immense white light, Bai Hui Quan's small face showed that she was scared. The girl then shyly spoke to him with a soft voice. "It's warmer near you. I… I just want to borrow some warmth."

Shi Yan got it immediately.

When he was using the heating energy of the Earth Flame, a warm aura flowed out from him, which increased the temperature around his body.

Cold gust constantly blew through the cave, bringing the chill air which could make their bones shiver. But the aura of the flame could ease the bitter cold.

Bai Hui Quan stayed close to him to reduce the irritating feeling on her body as much as possible, to prevent consuming too much Essence Qi to resist the cold wind.

Shi Yan smiled and nodded to her. "As you wish."

"Thank you," Bai Hui Quan stuck her tongue out, giving him a sincere thanks. "You're a good guy. You aren't like someone people can't stand, as sister Mu Yu said."

Shi Yan wore some black stripes on his face, looking at Li Mu Yu from a distance. He then asked with a low voice, "How did that woman slander me?"

Bai Hui Quan chuckled. She purses her lips as her eyes squinted to a new moon. "I don't dare to say. Otherwise, sister Mu Yu will not forgive me. You will hate me, too."

"Means there's no good word." Shi Yan forced a smile, shaking his head. "I have never known her before. I don't know why she has a hostile attitude towards me. It's inexplicable."

"You don't know that?" muttered Bai Hui Quan.

"You know something?" Shi Yan was astounded.

"Mu Yu-jie likes Yu Le. But it's a secret. Now, you've joined the God Sect, and you could replace the Son of God position of his. Among the chosen ones in the Secret Territory, perhaps you can take her rank too. At that time, she won't give you a good face." Bai Hui Quan secretly checked Li Mu Yu. When she found that the woman didn't watch over this area, she explained him briefly with her soft voice.

Shi Yan was surprised. "Oh, that's it. How about you? Do you have the same thoughts as her?"

"I won't be like her," Bai Hui Quan squinted. She harrumphed. "Yu Le isn't honest. I don't like him. Even if you didn't come to the Secret Territory for ranking, it would not be my turn yet. I won't have a bad feeling about you because of this ranking thing. Anyway, my teacher said that you're a pervert. She told me to stay away from you as far as possible. And, don't let you take advantage of me."

Shi Yan's eyes were strange, as he coldly glared at Yun Xiu far from him then snorted, "It seems all women gossip."

Bai Hui Quan smiled unceasingly, her body closer to his, using the higher temperature emitting from him to minimize the effect of the freezing wind.

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu were flying together. They didn't notice Shi Yan. These two girls seemed to use some kind of code to talk, their eyes sometimes cold and sometimes bright.

Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi flew together. They landed first.

It turned out that the deep place under the isolated plain was a fairy world. This subterranean area was like another world in the core of the earth. It was dark, humid, and wet. Many pale mushrooms were growing from the ground. These mushrooms had some tiny black spots. They were radiating immense white light, which supported their vision in this area.

This earth core world had a lot of peculiar flora. Each kind of plant here had a heavy Yin Qi, and they were as firm as iron, as if molded with molten iron.

Fractions of white bones lay like withered plants for years, scattering everywhere. They could see some white skulls here and there, under the shades of those peculiar trees.

With a more careful look, they saw many graves. Some of them were dug out, and they could see the coffin inside.

"Those are Phosphorus Ghost Mushrooms. They're the main lighting flora underground. Thanks to them, our vision here is good enough. However, what you need to watch out the most is the Phosphorus Ghost Mushroom! These things have absorbed the phosphorescent flame from the decomposed corpses. They have the corpse toxins. If you stay close to it, it will spray the toxin out. This way, it can kill more people to take the phosphorescent flame from the decomposing bodies…"

Ye Xiong waited until everybody landed next to him to introduce the general situation of this subterranean world.

"This section of burial mound is dug up already. They took all funerary objects. The graves that haven't been violated should have hidden dangers. Everybody should stay far from them. Or else, you wouldn't know how you died."

Ye Xiong continued to explain.

"Is this the Shady Firmament Old Mound?" Shi Yan felt the dense Yin Qi as he asked.

This place had abundant Yin Qi, pretty similar to the Sound Beast Mountain in the abandoned place. However, this place had a menacing cold gust that kept howling unceasingly. They seemed to be very dangerous.

The ambiance here was somehow extremely evil. People who stood here always had an unknown but terrifying feeling swelling in their hearts.

"Yeah," Ye Xiong nodded, then continued seriously, "To be exact, this place's a corner of the Shady Firmament Old Mound, which is still pretty far from the real tomb. Anyway, don't worry. Our destination isn't the most dangerous place in the Shady Firmament Old Mound. It's easy to get there."

Having heard him say so, Shi Yan could relax a bit.

Ye Xiong put on a serious countenance and continued his introduction of the Shady Firmament Old Mound's dangers and changes. After that, he said, "Everybody just needs to follow me. Before we get there, I'm sure there will be no sudden events. Later, please maintain a proper distance. Pay attention to my position."

Everybody nodded, then Ye Xiong led the way.

He avoided the Phosphorus Ghost Mushrooms, swaying like a shuttle through those rigid plants. His pace was fast, as he was ignoring the skeletons here and there.

Shi Yan followed him nonchalantly.

Along the way, he released his Soul Consciousness, but didn't find any fluctuation of life.

He could confirm that there were no living creatures in the surrounding areas.

When the Phosphorus Ghost Mushrooms found someone near them, these pale things with black dots, which looked more like pimples, would exude something viscous with an extremely unpleasant smell. When it stormed to people's nostrils, of course, it brought along the toxin.

However, the distance that Phosphorus Ghost Mushrooms could spray the corpse toxin to was limited. As long as they kept a proper distance from them, those mushrooms wouldn't start their attack.

Ye Xiong understood the nature of the mushroom well. He had set up a precise distance which everybody followed to stay away from the attack range of the Phosphorus Ghost Mushrooms.

The open graves exposed the empty coffins inside. Funerary objects had been soon taken.

According to Ye Xiong, people who were buried there were all warriors from many previous generations. Their funerary objects were excellent. Unfortunately, tomb raiders who had come here to collect the materials had cleaned up the tombs that they could touch really long time ago.

Looking at those empty graves, Shi Yan frowned, his face heavy.

No matter how strong a warrior was, when he died, he would eventually turn into a dry skeleton, unless he had reached the True God Realm.

At that time, his soul would become the God Soul. Even if his body vanished, his Soul would remain.

As long as no soul technique or treasures attacked that God Soul, it could escape easily. Then, it could find another body to refine or enter the womb of a pregnant woman to be reborn in a newborn baby form.

These two methods had the same meaning, which was to resurrect with a different body.

And only the True God Realm warriors could do these steps. They were almost immortal.

Looking at the open graves around him, Shi Yan was firmly determined to set himself to chase the stronger realms.

"Shi Yan, come here," Yue Ying suddenly called out, her face still cold as usual.

Shi Yan was bewildered, He turned around to see her, and after hesitating for a while, he walked towards her. "Elder Yue, what do you want to advise?"

"Remember the Big Dipper God Arrow book I gave you? How is your practice?" Her manner was like she was testing her student. She lifted her head, her face solemn.

"Not bad," Shi Yan replied nonchalantly.

"Show me one type. When Flaming Sun, Silver Moon, and Star techniques of the Radiant God Sect are combined together at the crucial time, the power will rocket. We possibly have to control the Heaven Thunder Beast. At that time, your Big Dipper God Arrow can contribute a bit. Show me, then I can know how can we cooperate to control the Heaven Thunder Beast," said Yue Ying deliberately.

Shi Yan's heart bounced.

His Big Dipper God Arrow was complete. However, the seven stars of the Big Dipper in his heart had the flaming sun power.

Once he performed the Big Dipper God Arrow, the miraculous Sun power fusion would be exposed.

When Yun Hao took him to the sect, he had advised him not to let any other disciples know that he could fuse the Sun power.

And now Yue Ying wanted to test him. Unless he didn't use the Big Dipper God Arrow, his secret would be revealed.

Shi Yan felt a headache coming.

Chapter 569: Unforeseen event arises.

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

"I haven't mastered it yet. I don't want to embarrass myself."

Shi Yan mused for a while and then smiled, shaking his head to deny.

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu weren't so surprised. It was as what they had anticipated.

Yue Ying had given him the Big Dipper God Arrow for twenty days. It wasn't easy to learn the technique thoroughly in just a short time.

When Yu Le had just joined the sect, it took him at least three months to learn a new secret technique.

It'd been just twenty days. Even if Shi Yan were a genius, he couldn't master it that quick.

Yue Ying relaxed her nerves as she thought that this boy's innate endowment wasn't that earth-shaking. It should be good, though. When the Secret Territory opened, perhaps Mu Yu could replace him to claim a decent rank.

Then, Yue Ying felt happy secretly.

"Then, you don't need to try. If we encounter danger in this trip, for us coming from the same sect, we won't just watch. You should be cautious yourself, too. You should always be careful," nodded Yue Ying.

Shi Yan just smiled.

Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were walking in the front of the formation so they didn't notice the convo between Yue Ying and Shi Yan.

Phosphorus Ghost Mushrooms filled the ground. Ye Xiong's pace slowed down, seeming like he had found something beyond his estimation.

Zhu Yi was careful, waves of Soul Consciousness still rippling from him. It seemed he was always using the Soul Consciousness to sense any changes happening.

Shi Yan exhaled in relief as he could dodge Yue Ying's testing. He stayed away from Yue Ying and Yun Xiu, and gradually, he approached Ye Xiong.

They slowly went forward, but when they reached a ruined tomb, Ye Xiong changed his visage.

Shi Yan was shaken inside, but his eyes brightened up.

The graveyard ahead of them was packed. It was almost one grave after another within one hundred meters. Those graves were intact, and hadn't been damaged. They were preserved well.

Scattered here and there were piles of ancient warriors' Seas of Consciousness. They were weathered with time, looking vulnerable.

There were many cultivating materials too. After so many years, they had lost their spiritual Qi, hence no beam of energy could be seen. Whatever material it was, it couldn't survive time.

Moreover, the wind howled through this place year around, which accelerated the erosion.

Ye Xiong stood in front of an entrance of a tomb, frowning in his thoughts. He seemed to have found something.

Shi Yan didn't want to bother him. He also knitted his brows, waiting in silence.

"It's a little bit different …" Ye Xiong lowered his voice, talking to Zhu Yi standing next to him. "Last time I was here, this area was covered with some kind of energy. But now…"

Ye Xiong shook his head. "Someone has come here."

Zhu Yi was surprised. "People from Martial Spirit Palace or Heaven Temple?"

"I'm not sure," Ye Xiong took out a Yin mine, throwing it away. The Yin mine flashed with a blue electric light and then exploded in that tomb.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

It was like thunder igniting earth flame. Explosions reverberated continually from the tomb ahead of them.

Then, they saw the sealed graves were shaken a little bit. Strange light spread out immensely from the graves, creating a scattering layer of strange energy. Glistening beams of light connected to each other, but they were all different, with extremely robust energy.

Shortly, waves of energy condensed and then expanded, covering Shi Yan's group entirely.

Just like a hallucination, scenes of the bottom of the ocean appeared at the center of each grave. Fishes were swimming deliberately everywhere.

"Not good!"

Ye Xiong's countenance changed dramatically. His hands constantly formed different imprints, as the rings on his fingers sparkled shiningly.

Treasures flew out one by one, zooming over here and there inside the sea scenario in the middle of the graveyard. Those treasures looked like needles and knives, with different shapes and sizes. All of them had a strong sensing ability.

The ocean illusion wasn't broken. The fishes there weren't affected by the treasures and continued swimming.

Those fishes suddenly sped up. They aimed at Ye Xiong, flashed once, and then disappeared into his body.

Ye Xiong seemed to get hit badly. His body trembled, as divine light sparkled in his eyes while the energy in his body was urged in silence.

"Watch out. The barriers here are activated. Each fish will aim for your Sea of Consciousness!"

Zhu Yi shouted and swung his arm to strike out an attack. He immediately pulled Luo Xiao, Luo Meng, and Lin Zhi to his front. An azure gauze, which was decorated with many thumb-sized gems that were full of torrential soul energy, covering the three of Luo Xiao's group.

When the fishes touched that blue-ish veil, they sizzled and then dissolved.

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu weren't hesitant, taking out the soul treasures in their Storage Rings and covering themselves and their apprentices from the strange, evil energy of those fishes.

Nobody cared about Shi Yan.

Those swimming fish seemed to be revived, swamping over Shi Yan at lightning speed.

Those fishes weren't too big, just arm-length, with a dark green body. Denticles jutted out from their mouths, and their narrow eyes sparkled maliciously.

They swarmed over, entering Shi Yan's body and intruding his Sea of Consciousness.

All of a sudden, more than ten fishes were moving in Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness. As soon as they got in there, they started to nibble and tear Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness.

A furious headache arose, as if it wanted to crack his head.

Shi Yan was terrified.

Those fishes could swallow his Soul Consciousness!

More than ten fishes were moving in his Soul Consciousness. His Soul Consciousness was consumed fast, becoming the nutrients for those fish.

Soul Objects!

Shi Yan discolored. He didn't have to think more, and immediately urged the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame.

Flows of heaven flame flew out from the third eye of his host soul, which found and destroyed the fishes precisely.

The Five Devils had returned to his Sea of Consciousness when he was in the Dead Soul Mountain Range. They seemed to have sensed the danger, flying out from their place deep in the Sea of Consciousness to face the fishes.

The Negative Five Devils were good at dealing with soul objects. They were like beasts seeing blood and fresh meat, storming forward and swallowing the fishes.

The fish dissipated quickly.

Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness was hurt. Right after that, he pulled himself together and assessed the surroundings while frowning.

Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu all had soul class defensive treasures which kept the fishes from touching them. All were safe.

Only Shi Yan stood upright in the sky packed with swimming fishes. They targeted him, attacking him like a cloud of grasshoppers.

The young man was calm. He wasn't scared, opening his mind to release the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. With the Five Devils, he quickly destroyed the fishes entering his Sea of Consciousness at a fast speed.

Within five breaths, half of the school of a hundred fishes was burned off, and the Five Devils swallowed the other half.

The other fishes seemed to realize that their kind was destroyed rapidly. They thus didn't dare to approach Shi Yan, avoiding him disorderly.

Ye Xiong and the others looked at him with astonishment.

The four of them had an exquisite cultivation base. Just at first glance, they could see that Shi Yan didn't use any treasures, but the fish were trying to avoid him.

Soul secret techniques?

The four of them were filled with suspicions. They were astounded that Shi Yan had even more secrets which they hadn't explored yet.

Lin Zhi, Luo Meng, and Luo Xiao were even more startled. They felt that Shi Yan was really bizarre. He didn't use any treasures of soul category, but he could still stop such an intimidating attack.

It wasn't that simple!

The Five Devils didn't want to wait passively like that. Without Shi Yan's advice, they changed and stormed out, flying around him. After the Five Devils had formed their shapes, each of them looked as ferocious and terrible as ghosts and demons from hell.

The fishes seemed to have encountered their nemesis, avoiding him in panic. The five Devils captured the slower ones, devouring them all.

"Yin Demons!"

Zhu Yi was scared, and couldn't help but scream out curtly. Light burned in his eyes.

There were many kinds of techniques to train the Yin Demons. Usually, they were all evil and sinister. Warriors who trained the Yin Demons had to collect the evil Yin Qi in some extremely dangerous places.

In the Divine Great Land, there weren't many factions who understood how to train Yin Demons. The Devil Valley was one of the famous factions who could do that.

Thirty-six Terminating caves of the Devil Valley were good places to train Yin Demons. After the Yin Demons were formed, warriors would keep them and nurture them in their Sea of Consciousness. During a battle, Yin Demons could use sinister soul techniques to create marvelous effects.

According to rumors, the strongest Yin Demon could claim the land of the Antiquity Demogorgon during its unceasing upgrading process.

People said that each Yin Demon carried a beam of the Demogorgon's broken soul. When the Yin Demon thrived to an intimidatingly strong level, that soul would be wakened. At that time, the Yin Demon would become the Demogorgon, which would be really formidable.

However, even the Devil Valley, the faction which understood how to train the Yin Demons, had never heard about directly awakening the Demorgogon through the Yin Demon's level-up.

The five Devils that shot out from Shi Yan's body had a half-solid form, their appearance ferocious and intimidating. They had the primitive form of the Antiquity Demogorgon. Their aura was evil and eccentric, which was not ordinary at all.

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu exchanged looks. They could see the fear in each other's eyes.

Shi Yan was the one Yun Hao had introduced to join the sect. He had Star Martial Spirit, so he was considered a member of the Radiant God Cult. But how did he know the technique to train Yin Demons?

Perhaps, he had a connection with the Devil Valley?

Five Devils were screaming, flying around to search for their delicious food. They were excitedly releasing a thick murderous aura that made people shiver.

All swimming fishes started to jump into the closed graves at the fastest speed. They didn't dare to show up anymore.

Each tomb had a strange energy that protected them naturally. After the fishes entered, the Five Devils couldn't do anything to harm them. They circled around for a while, then unwillingly returned to Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness.

When the Five Devils got in his Sea of Consciousness, they calmed down and sunk into it to digest the nutrients they had just enjoyed.

Shi Yan was surprised. He shook his head and then beamed a faint smile. Looking at the astounded appearances of Ye Xiong and the other, he inquired, "Can we move now?"

Ye Xiong nodded with a strange complexion. "Yeah, but we have to be more careful. We've just encountered a dangerous situation, so I think it should be something else ahead of us."

"Didn't you say that before we meet the Heaven Thunder Beast, we would have a smooth go?" Shi Yan frowned.

Ye Xiong smiled embarrassedly. "It should have been. But I'm not sure now. Someone got in here before. Seems they have activated the barriers."

Shi Yan snorted.

He didn't like indefinite factors. He thought this trip wouldn't be so strenuous, with neither surprises nor dangers. But now, they seemed to have a lot of events at hand, which was obviously out of Ye Xiong's plan. Also, this meant the other part of their trip would be more surprising.

Ye Xiong beamed a wry smiled. He didn't dare to wait for another question, and immediately accelerated, walking straight ahead.

Although Yue Ying and Yun Xiu weren't pleased, as things had come to this point, they could only follow him in silence. In the dark, they kept reminding their apprentices to be more careful.

Chapter 570: The Ancient Cave Mansion

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

At the entrance of a broken tomb deep underground stood around ten warriors of the Martial Spirit Palace and Heaven Temple. They looked dispirited.

It was an area of blended light above their heads. Countless energy light columns, which were really sharp and vicious, were slaughtering everywhere.

All flows of energy around were dragged into these light columns. Willpower that wanted to destroy people's souls was circling this group of warriors, moving without ceasing.

This group of warriors of the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple was surrounding a young maid. This girl had an average appearance, but her eyes were filled with starlight.

White and gray spots sparkled from deep inside the girl's pupils. She narrowed her eyes while sensing every change happening around them. She seemed to be able to feel the directions of each energy beam.

Long afterward, the girl paled. She had consumed much of her Soul Consciousness, due to which the light in her eyes dimmed.

"I have the direction," The young maid slowly got up, speaking solemnly. "Stay close to me. Never let yourself separate!"

Some Third Sky of Spirit Realm experts were shaken on listening to her, their faces both surprised and happy.

"We've stirred up the barriers and it cost much of our effort. Anyway, it helps obstruct the others." A Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior sneered. "I saw Ye Xiong and his people. But they have no hope to reach the target now. The barriers we've crossed are enough to kill all of them."

"Yeah, without Little Ling, even if we have a profound cultivation base, we don't know how to solve the barriers. We would die soon," exclaimed another person.

This group included warriors from the Martial Spirit Palace and Heaven Temple. They had accidentally activated the barriers. Along the way to get here, they had encountered many traps and dangers.

If that girl didn't have a miraculous martial spirit and a profound knowledge of the ancient formations, they would have been killed earlier.

Thinking about the perils they had met along the way, they all still felt scared.

"We won't meet the people of the Spirit Treasure Sect," The girl beamed a faint smile. "If they don't know how to solve the barriers we've crossed, they will be killed soon. If they're persistent, their souls will perish. Perhaps, they will become a part of the magical formation, turning into the Yin Ghosts."

Everybody was frightened.

"We should go. Be careful and listen to my direction," The young maid was tense. She took a deep breath and then took the lead.

Everyone else followed her closely.Ye Xiong halted. He was terrified, looking at the ruins while screaming, "Not good!"

Shi Yan, Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu strode to him.

In front of Ye Xiong was a dark area. In the dark, the wind was strong and sharp, just like numerous sabers and swords flying and dancing in the void.

In that dark area, a big peril seemed to be hiding. The Soul Consciousness they released sank like a stone in the sea. As a result, they couldn't sense anything.

From that cold wind area, thick murderous aura slapped their faces, as if it were hiding an ancient beast that was waiting for its prey.

"It's the Dreadful Formation!" Ye Xiong took a deep breath. "Someone has activated all the Dreadful Formations on this route. It's tough now. If we want to go there, we can only jump in."

The Dreadful Formation was the magical formations that contained a lot of dangers, along with many hidden terrible changes, which could burn the warriors into ashes instantly.

"Which degree are these Dreadful Formations?" Zhu Yi darkened his face, frowning.

"Enough to kill warriors at our level," Ye Xiong turned his head to see the other, his face desperate. "From this situation, I think we should end our trip earlier."

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu arched their exquisite eyebrows, looking at the dark area ahead of them, their hearts bitter.

These two women had come to the Shady Firmament Old Mound understanding the dangerous features of this area well. Once the Dreadful Formations were activated, perils would appear instantly. If they stepped in there rashly, it meant they were prepared to die.

As they could predict there were many layers of Dreadful Formations ahead, Yue Ying and Yun Xiu decided to retreat. They would stop here.

"Is there any other way around?" Bai Hui Quan asked with fear.

Yun Xiu threw her a glance and answered softly, "Unless we have a formation master who understands the Dreadful Formations, or we have enough power to clean up the area... However, I can see that even the old monsters in their peak realm in the Divine Great Land can't use forcibly crush those Dreadful Formations."

Saying so, she meant their hope had basically vanished.

"I don't want it!" Ye Xiong screamed with a hoarse voice, his eyes red. "Who? Who has activated the Dreadful Formation! I want him to live in misery!"

"Mo Ling'er of the Martial Spirit Palace. I heard that she knows how to break the formations. Her attainment in this aspect's really profound. The whole Martial Spirit Palace has to admire her…" Yue Ying twittered with her soft voice.

Ye Xiong's eyes brightened as he shouted all of a sudden. "It's them. They have absolutely tricked us! They must have taken Mo Ling Er with them. That's why they dare to activate the Dreadful Formations. They want to block our road!"

"For just a Heaven Thunder Beast, is it worth such a big arrangement?" Yun Xiu was stunned.

Ye Xiong just snorted and didn't comment on that.

Zhu Yi assessed the situation quietly. He could confirm that what Ye Xiong wanted wasn't only the Heaven Thunder Beast. This Shady Firmament Old Mound should have something that all these people desired.

What it could be?

Shi Yan rubbed his chin while thinking.

Ye Xiong was the Elder of the Spirit Treasure Sect, so he should have many secret treasures. He was filthy rich! Ordinary items couldn't get into his vision.

It should be a very precious treasure.

"Precursor Ye, did you find something in this Shady Firmament Old Mound?" Shi Yan smiled, "Now that we aren't going there, would you mind telling us about that? Just consider it our payment."

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu gazed at him without blinking.

Everybody was curious. They thought that it should be something special in this Shady Firmament Old Mound that drew the attention of many hotshots risking their lives.

"Ancient Cave Mansion," Ye Xiong mused for a while then slowly spit out three words.

Everybody was frightened.

The Ancient Cave Mansion was the cultivating mansion of warriors in the Antiquity time. It should have ancient cultivating materials and books, including martial techniques and rare treasures. Perhaps, it still kept the Divine Weapons!

The seven ancient factions had been established a long time ago. Through countless generations, many cultivating techniques had been lost, and so had the tremendous secret treasures. The inheritance the seven ancient factions had today was incomplete.

However, even if it were incomplete, the seven ancient factions were still the ones who took the wheel of the Divine Great Land.

An Ancient Cave Mansion could be a sect in the old times. And, perhaps it could preserve secret cultivating techniques and treasures. If it were explored, it would change the whole structure of the Divine Great Land.

Shi Yan was stunned as he started to think more about it.

Was that the ancestor's land of the Demonic Sound Clan?

According to the Demonic Sound Clan, their ancestor's land was in the Shady Firmament Old Mound, where the canon "Yin Symbol Scripture "and the treasures from the antiquity time were kept. One of the reasons why Yi Tian Mo wanted to follow Shi Yan was the hope that one day, they could return to their ancestor's land and find their inheritance.

"You found it?" Shi Yan was stirred up.

"The Heaven Thunder Beast did. It seemed to have run away from the Cave Mansion. In that Cave Mansion, I'm not sure about the other things, but the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame is surely there!" answered Ye Xiong.

"World Extinguishing Thunder Flame?" even Zhu Yi couldn't hold on, shouting, "Old Ye, you lied to me. Are you saying that this cave mansion has the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame? The second rank among the nine types of heaven flames?"

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu had their eyes brightened.

Shi Yan put on a terrified countenance.

Among the nine types of heaven flames, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame ranked the second, one grade higher than the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. According to the rumors, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame was born in the Immemorial Epoch.

The Immemorial Epoch was even older than the Antiquity Time. In that era, mankind hadn't even come into existence yet.

According to the legend, during the Immemorial Epoch, many strong living beings had been fighting against each other, leading to the great change of the earth and firmament. From the Nine Heavens, trillions of thunder and lightning had been struck out. Among that countless number of lightning, there was one beam that had a life consciousness. It then absorbed the other lightning strikes, and eventually became the World Distinguishing Thunder Flame, which could general trillions of lightning beams to destroy the whole world.

The second-ranked heaven flame from the Immemorial Epoch with the world-destroying power…

Shi Yan couldn't control his breathing from becoming short and quick.

"Too bad… It's too bad. Why do we have such bad luck…?" Zhu Yi wore a displeased countenance as his eyes reddened. He clenched his jaw. "Ye Xiong, why didn't you tell us earlier? If you told me early, even if I had to lose my face, I would try my best to invite an expert to deal with the dangerous formations. Now, we can't do anything."

Ye Xiong didn't even have the mood to feel shame. He just shook his head continually.

He wanted to conceal this secret to enjoy it for himself. But now, someone else had got involved and arranged the traps, and they couldn't even get in there.

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu couldn't press down their hurry. Looking at the dark area ahead of them, they were thinking quickly to choose whether they wanted to risk their lives and storm in there or not.

Of course, the enticement of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame and the Ancient Cave Mansion was much bigger than the Heaven Thunder Beast!

"First, give me the Ethereal Crystal." However, Shi Yan suddenly spoke up at this moment. He calmly looked at Ye Xiong.

Ye Xiong gawked. He got enraged. "You haven't contributed anything. How dare you ask for the Ethereal Crystal?!? Don't mess with me now. Otherwise, don't blame me for not having manners!"

Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, Yun Xiu all looked at Shi Yan with odd complexions.

"Give me the Ethereal Crystal first, I'll take you guys through these ancient barriers. Do you think it's a good deal?" Shi Yan cracked a smile.

Ye Xiong and the others were struck, their faces disbelieving.

They all knew about the perils of these barriers. Let alone Shi Yan's First Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base, even if he had reached the True God Realm, if he didn't know how to break a formation, he had no possible solution.

What did he depend on?

"Little friend, are you serious?" Zhu Yi's eyes were sparkling like lightning. He took a deep breath then asked.

"I'm serious," Shi Yan grinned. "Don't worry. When I get the Ethereal Crystal, I'll demonstrate. So, do you want to consider this deal?"

Ye Xiong was bewildered. He kept silent for a long time and then asked, "How can I believe you?"

"Haha, I'm staying here, right? If I can't do that, you can take the crystals back." Shi Yan was calm, looking at Zhu Yi and Yue Ying. "You have witnesses. I won't mess up. You can ease your mind."

"Old Ye, never mind true or false, it's not bad. Just let him try," Zhu Yi was hurried.

He knew Shi Yan had many strange things. If he had the confidence to say so, of course, he had something he could rely on. Although he didn't know what Shi Yan had, he thought they should give it a try.

"Give him the Ethereal Cyrstal!" Yue Ying and Yun Xiu urged.

Lin Zhi, Luo Xiao, Luo Meng, and Bai Hui Quan were gazing at Shi Yan with sparkling eyes.

Chapter 571: Push through shoving and bumping

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Ye Xiong reluctantly gave Shi Yan an Ethereal Crystal under the urging of Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu.

A small pile of silver Ethereal Crystal was shining, with many cracks on the crystal surface. Space power vaguely moved there. These fist-sized crystals had conical and diamond shapes. They were heavier than they looked.

"Ethereal Crystal's the fundamental element of Teleportation Formations. When one pours energy into the Ethereal Crystal, it can urge space power," Ye Xiong's face was bitter. "I had ruined an old, shabby Teleportation Formation in an old place to take these crystals. If you don't know how to use it, you should choose another thing to exchange."

Shi Yan chuckled and then stashed away the Ethereal Crystals. He glared at Ye Xiong, "You don't need to mind me."

He didn't check the Ethereal Crystal, because he knew Ye Xiong wouldn't cheat him at this moment. These Ethereal Crystals contained weak space power, which he could sense. So, they shouldn't be counterfeit.

"You got the Ethereal Crystals. You should do something now, right?" Ye Xiong rolled his eyes, urging coldly.

Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu were stunned, their eyes as bright as a torch.

The atmosphere at the dark area in front of them was strange and somehow evil. It seemed to hide a big danger, which were obviously the ancient barriers, extremely dreadful.

Even Ye Xiong didn't dare to break in rashly. They had wanted to retreat, which showed the life-threatening characteristics of the Dreadful Formations.

As Shi Yan had the Ethereal crystals, he nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll take you there safely."

Then, he summoned the Sky Breaking Shuttle.

The Sky Breaking Shuttle screamed out loud when it got out, floating in front of him. It shot out a strange light, breaking the thick darkness ahead of them.

It was surveying.

Shi Yan wasn't hurried, waiting in silence.

The Sky Breaking Shuttle was a strange tool to break the barriers. No barrier could restrain this shuttle. As he had such a treasure, Shi Yan dared to ask Ye Xiong to give him Ethereal Crystal.

Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi and the other had their eyes brightened, looking at the Sky Breaking Shuttle with astonishment.

The shuttle emitted a strange energy that was surging spirally, slowly drilling into the dark area ahead of them.

Not long after that, the Sky Breaking Shuttle sent him its thought, "It will consume one-fourth of your Essence Qi to cross through the barrier ahead."

Shi Yan nodded, pouring his Essence Qi into the Sky Breaking Shuttle.

The Sky Breaking Shuttle sparkled. A massive light column tore the space, thrusting deep into the darkness.

Waves of energy intertwined the inside of the light column, preventing all the attacking energies, which kept the space inside the light column safe.

Shi Yan took the lead and stepped into the light column. Then, he turned around, waving at Ye Xiong's group.

Ye Xiong's group was astounded, their faces changed.

Shi Yan didn't lie to them. He did have a solution!

The Sky Breaking Shuttle had created a light tunnel, which had a thick energy wall to prevent all kinds of energies from barge in. It stirred the ancient formations in the dark area.

Constant explosions, sounds of violent impact, and thunder, lightning continually reverberated from that area.

However, Shi Yan was walking safely in the light tunnel. He didn't mind the chaotic situation underneath, and just walked with a smile.

"Go!" Zhu Yi let out a slight shout, his face happy. "This kid isn't ordinary. We can count on him later. Ye-ge, you should form a close relationship with him."

Ye Xiong constantly nodded, his face overjoyed.

Ethereal Crystal was of course precious, but it was nothing compared to the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. If he could get what he wanted, the harvest this time was enough to cover his current loss.

The beautiful eyes of Yue Ying and Yun Xiu shone sparklingly, as they were discreetly assessing Shi Yan, their hearts filled with astonishment.

It was as if they had met Shi Yan for the first time. They had silently appraised Shi Yan in awe. They sighed due to the strange competence Shi Yan had brought forth. The Sky Breaking Shuttle was beyond their imagination. This made them realized that Shi Yan had hidden many mysteries.

All of a sudden, Yue Ying and Yun Xiu couldn't help but compliment Yun Hao's bright vision as he could recruit a man like this to the Radiant God Cult.

"Hurry up!" Shi Yan saw they were worrying and didn't move, so he impatiently urged them the second time. "I have to consume a lot of power to maintain the tunnel. Don't linger, okay? If I have to spend more time maintaining this tunnel, it will take more time to break the next barrier."

Then, they didn't dare to hesitate furthermore, all jumping onto the light road.

This light road shot straight just like a sharp sword covering the territory. People glided fast, without minding the changes of the barriers around.

Soon, they had crossed the barriers.

Standing in the middle of a new graveyard, Ye Xiong sighed in relief. However, he had to change his face before he could have time to say something.

Ahead of them was an immense area covered with thick mist. Sounds of water running came over. The water didn't flow fast, but it had A malignant aura. They could vaguely see the water monsters moving there, as if they were waiting for something.

A flow of malicious aura exuded from the running stream, entering the body and restraining the soul.

Another dreadful barrier!

Ye Xiong was embarrassed, looking at Shi Yan with a forced smile.

People who came out from the prohibited area all looked at the area ahead, then tacitly shut their mouths, waiting for Shi Yan with longing faces.

Under their attentive looks, Shi Yan said with a begrudging complexion, "Got it. I'll handle it."

He used the Sky Breaking Shuttle the second time.

And it repeated.

After crossing three barriers, Shi Yan had consumed almost all of his Essence Qi. He had to supplement his Qi using the crystal. His face was pale.

Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were excited, giving him some jade bottles with smiling expressions. "You should eat these pellets. They will restore your Essence Qi faster."

Sweet aroma which could gladden the hearts diffused from the jade bottles. Shi Yan sniffed, and he was struck.

They were all good things!

Shi Yan smiled and didn't pretend to be polite. He took the jade bottles and swallowed the pellets, which had abundant spiritual Qi, using the power of the medicine to restore his Essence Qi.

As Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were the Elders of the Spirit Treasure Sect, the pellets they had of course were not ordinary!

After taking in ten pellets, the Essence Qi in his body started to surge like a tide. The exhausted energy in his body was being recovered quickly.

Three minutes later, Shi Yan exhaled freshly. He laughed and said, "Move!"

After crossing twelve ancient barriers, Shi Yan's Essence Qi had been drained by a big part again. He had to use pellets to restore it the second time.

However, Ye Xiong suddenly shot up. He squinted, coldly looking forward.

Under a chaotic space of electric currents intertwining, a group of people was crouching in a corner, not daring to act recklessly. They seemed to be waiting for something.

Above their heads were thunder, lightning and the whole sea of fire. Sometimes, they could see some strange Intent Domains flash up.

Afterward, the whole space had an earth-shaking change. Powers of the Five Elements including Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth showed up gradually, creating massive Dreadful Formations.

This group seemed to be besieged. They were worried and distressed, looking at a young maid.

The girl had her eyes close. As everybody else regarded her as a core, she was sensing something silently. Her brows slammed together, as if she had a big challenge, unable to break this barrier that quick.

"Look, it's them!" Ye Xiong shouted.

Everybody followed Ye Xiong's line of sight, watching that group of people crouching under that thunder and lightning coverage.

"We come with you this time, but we made it clear that we will help you deal with the Heaven Thunder Beast only," Yue Ying said softly. "But now, I don't think so. I think we should talk."

Ye Xiong turned around, talking with a dark face. "No need to talk, I know what you want to say. This time we have come to the Ancient Cave Mansion, so we will share all the items we got there."

Yue Ying's eyes brightened. She nodded, "Good then."

Yun Xiu also smiled and nodded silently, as she was satisfied with Ye Xiong's answer.

As they had known about the existence of the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, they didn't want the benefits Ye Xiong had promised them before.

As they saw the hotshots from the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple earlier than expected, it meant the next part of their trip would involve a conflict or even a battle with the others.

Only for the benefit Ye Xiong had promised them, Yue Ying and Yun Xiu would just back off and never sell their lives in such a situation. However, the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame were enough for their motivation.

Birds died because of food, and people died because of money. If the enticement were big enough, they could even risk their lives.

That group seemed unable to see them. They were staying and watching here and there in the prohibited area, not daring to move. They didn't realize the existence of another group.

Ye Xiong was nonchalant. He kept smiling faintly, but he felt lucky in his heart.

They were lucky that they had Shi Yan accompanying them this time. Otherwise, they would have never gotten to this place, and they would never have seen the Ancient Cave Mansion or the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.

Shi Yan's outstanding performance had turn perils into nothing scary, as he could pierce through barriers one by one easily. This was beyond their imagination.

Ye Xiong couldn't help but look at Shi Yan, who was closing his eyes and adjusting his breathing. Ye Xiong's eyes were complicated, as he had more calculations in his head.

A long time afterward, Shi Yan woke up, smiled and said, "We shall move."

Everybody was excited.

The group from Martial Spirit Palace was still besieged. They hadn't found the solution yet.

Shi Yan took out the Sky Breaking Shuttle, pouring energy into it and creating the light tunnel. He hopped in.

Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were smiling as they felt delighted, walking on the light road.

While walking into the light tunnel, they could see the Martial Spirit Palace's group, but the others couldn't see them. This group was still frowning miserably, waiting in fear.

Inside the tunnel, everybody felt that they were more superior than the others. The victory of striking the opponent after their opponent had struck them made them felt good.

"Are they the opponents we're about to meet?" Shi Yan was a bit surprised. He quietly assessed this group, and his face changed.

This group had twelve members. Seven of them were at the Spirit Realm; three were at the Third Sky, two were at the Second Sky, and the other two were at the First Sky. Obviously, this force was stronger than theirs.

"Yeah," Ye Xiong's face was solemn.

"Well, we'll encounter them anyway, so I should give them a big gift." Shi Yan grinned fiendishly, as cold as a sharp saber.If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Chapter 572: Sky Destroyer

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

An ecliptic crossed the barrier through the dark place. Inside that ecliptic, Shi Yan wore a malicious face. Trace of cold thoughts flashed in his pupils.

"What do you want?"

Ye Xiong was worried. It was different now, since they were in the middle of the prohibited area. If he took action here, the barrier would restrain him a lot. In the worst case, the barrier could hurt him badly.

"You want to attack them from here?" Zhu Yi shook his head disapprovingly. "Not good, eh? Once you cause a change in the ancient formation, it can affect us, too. As long as we won't leave this light tunnel, we're safe. But if you leave this place to attack them, I'm not sure about anything."

Yue Ying and Yun Xiu also frowned and shook their heads as they thought that Shi Yan's decision was risky.

"Who said I wanted to attack them inside the barrier?" Shi Yan rose his eyebrows. He didn't talk more, took a deep breath, and then summoned the Giant Mysterious Sword in the Blood Vein Ring.

After he entered the Spirit Realm, he hadn't had a chance to use the Giant Mysterious Sword. As his mind flickered, the giant sword turned into a beam of black light falling into his hand.

His Soul Consciousness winded around the Giant Mysterious Sword like a rope, as a feeling of blood connection swelled in his heart.

Shi Yan's eyes sparkled like the diamond.

Sky Destroyer!

A flow of thought shot out from the Giant Mysterious Sword, entering his Sea of Consciousness.

The sword was called Sky Destroyer!

Finally, he got to know the name of the divine sword he had – Sky Destroyer!

The sword spirit from the giant mysterious sword proactively sent him a thought to tell him its name. It was the first time the sword had cooperated well with him.

Buzz Buzz Buzz!

The Sky Destroyer hooted loudly. A flow of destructive aura exuded from the tip of the sword, which was like spiritual snakes, extending to all directions from Shi Yan as the core.

Crack Crack Crack!

The energy wall of the tunnel echoed the clear sounds from the impact. Dazzling sparks shot out unceasingly.

Shi Yan was frightened. He focused, using his Soul Consciousness to reduce the aura of the Sky Destroyer.

A destructive energy in the form of a tornado gathered at the tip of the Sky Destroyer, as red eyes opened one by one on the sword tip.

Thick smell of blood quietly permeated the area, which nauseated people, boiling up their blood, generating a helpless feeling of not being able to control their emotions.

Shi Yan's eyes sparkled. His Soul Consciousness was moving like tentacles, stimulating the Sky Destroyer. He was using the Soul Consciousness to connect with the sword. Flows of Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness were moving rapidly inside the Sky Destroyer, bring his own aura into each corner of the sword body.

Inside the sword, jade-like crystals crossed and intertwined with each other, like vessels in the human body.

There was blood flowing in those crystals, thick blood with stinky, pungent smell, containing a murderous aura that shot up into the sky. The blood was robust, but it was also evil and eccentric.

While his Soul Consciousness moved around the sword, fright swelled in Shi Yan's heart. He was about to burst out.

The complexity of this Sky Destroyer could be compared to human body's structure, which was beyond his knowledge.

Normally, treasures were made of refined materials and formations to gather the energy of heaven and earth. Obviously, the method to forge this Sky Destroyer wasn't similar to the regular methods to refine weapons that he knew. It was extremely mysterious and strange.

It seemed right when the beginning, the one who forged the Sky Destroyer had considered it a living being, and had treated it so. That person had used some strange secret techniques that used so many jade-like crystals to form the system like the meridians of human warriors.

Those crystals even kept fresh blood!

That thick blood contained a vigorous vitality, that gave people a hallucination of its strong life force.

The divine sword Sky Destroyer was like a warrior's body with vessels, blood, and living fluctuations!

Was it a real secret treasure?

It was a living being!

What stunned Shi Yan was still behind!

His Soul Consciousness took a tour around the Sky Destroyer and found a misty area that was as thick as snow. Soul energy fluctuations surged from that mist. That soul energy formed a sea, which was similar to his Sea of Consciousness. And, it was obvious that a soul was living in there, using that soul sea to control the meridians and blood of the sword.

This was like a human brain!

Shi Yan gawked, dropping his jaw.

Swoosh!

A blood-red light shot out from the soul sea and condensed a blood flower in front of Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness. A thought bloomed out silently.

"New Master. Finally, you've reached the Spirit Realm. From now on, your Soul Consciousness is able to control me."

"Who are you?"

"I am Sky Destroyer."

"Sword spirit?"

"You can say so."

"Who was the previous master of the Sky Destroyer?"

"I'm damaged badly, so I don't remember the previous events. But I know my previous Master was many times much stronger than you now. He seemed to have vanished completely. But I can sense a beam of his aura on you. In the future, you have to investigate it on your own. I have no way to help you."

"So, what can you help me?"

"Kill enemies."

"Kill enemies? How do I control you?"

"Fuse your Soul Consciousness with me. When I know your thought, my tip will bloom together. The stronger your power is, the sharper I can be."Shi Yan was holding the Sky Destroyer, standing in the light tunnel. A thick blood scent diffused from the sword in his hand. In that dense murderous aura, blood-red eyes on Sky Destroyer opened silently, brutal, evil, and bloodthirsty.

Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu were terrified. They furrowed their brows, looking at the Sky Destroyer in Shi Yan's hand.

A ruthless aura soared up to the sky, and it wasn't formed naturally. This evil weapon had drunk an immense lot blood of many warriors to create such a brutal aura.

Under that murderous aura of the evil weapon, even warriors with a strong will like Ye Xiong and the other three were subdued. Their breathing sped up as a murderous desire emitted from the bottom of their hearts.

Ye Xiong and the others quickly pulled themselves together, adjusting their breathing and strengthening their minds.

The four exchanged looks and could see the fright in the others' eyes. Shi Yan's mysteries aroused more curiosity in them.

Juniors like Lin Zhi, Li Mu Yu, and Bai Hui Quan stayed away from him. They were holding their chests, panting heavily.

The murderous aura on the Sky Destroyer was the poison that could erode the soul and spirit. The juniors' realms weren't high enough. Under the effect of such an aura, they seemed to be about to burst out crazy.

Strong malignant aura!

The juniors had their souls hurt; their faces changed dramatically as they were screaming.

Suddenly, the dull expression on Shi Yan's face vanished. He grinned, then talked to Ye Xiong and the others, "The eye of this ancient formation's the power of the Five Elements. Look at that special crystal. That's the eye of this formation."

Everybody looked at the direction he pointed.

Indeed, they could see a five-colored crystal stone on the unpredictable ecliptic, made by the combination of other five strange, different colored crystals. Fluctuations of the Five Elements were constantly moving in there. Changes of heaven and earth around were reflected vaguely in the stone.

The Blacksmith's Secret of Success had some descriptions of ancient formations. The blacksmith who wrote the book had good knowledge of ancient formations and barriers too. Teleportation Formation was a marvelous formation.

Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness had spent a lot of time in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success. Although he couldn't become a formation master, he still had some solid knowledge.

"True. It's the eye of the formation. What do you want to do?" Ye Xiong muttered as he felt a bit anxious.

"Destroy it."

He raised the Sky Destroyer. The sword slipped away from his hand, turning into a blood beam and slashing down robustly.

The Sky Destroyer was really sharp. After it had received Shi Yan's power, it was incomparably rigid. The formation eye that was made from the Five Elements Crystals was crushed into scattering pieces of stone.

Instantly, the ancient formation was like an enraged beast that started to bare its fangs and claws.

Ye Xiong was frightened, "You destroyed it? You destroyed it!"

"He did the right thing," Zhu Yi exclaimed. "When the formation eye is destroyed, the ancient formation will be weakened. However, even if the formation master could solve it, he has no way to break it now. Even if this ancient formation got its eye broken, its power won't reduce. People from Martial Spirit Palace and Heaven Temple should pay a bloody price."

Ye Xiong's eyes lit up.

It was true. The Martial Spirit Palace had Mo Ling Er, the one who was good at breaking ancient formations. Currently, her process should be at the final stage.

To a team with a formation master, it was just a matter of time to break the formations.

But what if the ancient formation was obliterated?

That formation master would lose his function in the team. Warriors stuck in there had only one solution, which was to use force to get out.

The power of this old formation wasn't ordinary. After the formation eye was destroyed, even if it couldn't put forth the whole power, it was enough to make the ones trapped inside pay a terrible price.

"Let's go. I think they will have a headache for a while."

Shi Yan smiled until his eyes narrowed. Then, he strode towards the other end of the light tunnel.

Everybody followed him immediately.Damn it!

Inside the barrier, Mo Ling Er shivered, as dark blood trickled from her mouth.

Clouds of fire were drifting above their heads while thunder and lightning were crossing. Many types of powers disordered, like dynamite exploding rumblingly!

The barrier was wrecked!

Mo Ling Er's eyes were as cold as ice, her heart bitter. She just needed half a day more to break this damn formation and take people out of it safely.

Who?

Mo Ling Er's eyes twinkled as she was searching in the ruined formation. She saw a dazzling silver light zooming out rapidly.

"What? This barrier seems to have disordered completely!"

"Not good! It comes! Our location isn't safe now."

"No place is safe now!" Mo Ling Er gritted her teeth, speaking up coldly. "Someone has destroyed the formation eye, which destroyed this formation too. We can't break it anymore. Now, we can only barge out with our force. Or else, the barrier will keep us forever!"

Everybody was frightened and enraged.

"Who? Who did that?"

"Dares to trap us! If I get to know who he is, I will destroy both his soul and body!"

"We need to figure the way out first." Mo Ling Er sighed. "We need to seize the time. If not, when the hidden peril of the formation's stirred up, it will be much tougher. We will bear a big loss this time. You guys should be prepared."

Members of this group put on a cloudy expression as they hated the one who had destroyed the formation eye to their marrow.

Chapter 573: Seven-leaflet Soul Cutting Grass

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

After crossing three ancient barriers continually, Shi Yan felt exhausted. As he was about to use the pellets to recover, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu arrived one by one, their faces eager. They too looked ahead with surprise.

There was no ferocious energy fluctuation. The ground there was deep red, without a single grass. Cold gusts blew, as if they wanted to chase all the clouds away, fluttering distantly.

It was a huge broken tomb. White bones piled up, such that they couldn't even see where it ended. That area was covered in an ash-gray mist, which was thin but filled with a cold aura.

Many killing formations in this graveyard were completely broken. The incomplete formations had lost their effects.

Lightning crossed the space through the astral wind. It was the incomparably pure thunder and lightning power, which could destroy souls. It seemed there was a strong beast hiding and dozing off inside the lightning strikes, and sometimes, it breathed out lightning, shooting towards the lightning clouds next to it.

The beast stayed in the middle of an immense area, where cold gust chilled people to the bone. The chaotic energy was constantly moving and wrecking havoc.

Shi Yan's team was standing safely in a spot that didn't have any barrier.

"Is that beast the Heaven Thunder Beast?" Shi Yan cracked a silent smile. "Well, seems like we have arrived."

"Yeah, even though this isn't the center of the Shady Firmament Old Mound, the Heaven Thunder Beast lives here." Ye Xiong said with a happy expression. Pointing at the surroundings, he explained, "It should be a bigger ancient barrier right where we're standing. But, its existence consumes a lot of energy. After so many years, the energy to maintain the formation has drained. That's why we can stand here unharmed."

Following Ye Xiong's direction, people paid attention and found many formations set up around them.

Shi Yan's eyes lit up. He observed for a while and then exclaimed in awe, "So dangerous. This is a compound ancient formation formed by ten other formations. After each ancient formation is activated, it will boost up the whole formation. This is really terrific. The one who built this ancient formation was absolutely a genius."

The shabby formation around them had pieces combined with pieces. Many materials used to build the formations were taken away. The formation they saw now was incomplete, but its area was vast, around hundreds of mu (unit of area equal to one-fifteenth of a hectare- TL.) It should be much more dangerous than the barriers they had met before. And, it wasn't something a regular formation master could build.

"True, it's a compound formation." Zhu Yi observed for a while. He was amazed too. "We're lucky that this ancient formation couldn't be maintained. Otherwise, it would be really tough to deal with."

Shi Yan nodded.

From the present vestige, when this ancient formation was still intact, it should be pretty huge.

The light tunnel the Sky Breaking Shuttle could create had a limit. In such a vast barrier, perhaps the light tunnel created by the Sky Breaking Shuttle couldn't reach its boundary. If they wanted to use the Sky Breaking Shuttle to get out, it would be much more complicated.

"Heaven Thunder Beast's here. Even if it doesn't have a barrier, this place's still very dangerous." Ye Xiong hesitated for a while and said, "The strong astral wind and lightning surrounding the beast isn't caused by any formation… It seems natural. Last time I came here, my Soul Consciousness got chaotic when I got into the affected zone of the cold wind. My spirit almost collapsed."

Shi Yan was overwhelmed with shock.

"That astral wind's extreme. I think it's the upgraded version of the cold gust. It can enter the deep place in our soul directly." Ye Xiong took a deep breath. "We should lure the Heaven Thunder Beast out of there."

"Where's the Ancient Cave Mansion you said?" Yue Ying frowned.

She cared about this matter more. She came here for the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. These two were more attractive!

Although the Heaven Thunder Beast's demon crystal was precious, Yue Ying didn't need it. Her martial techniques and power weren't related to thunder and lightning power, which meant she didn't need to use the beast's demon crystal to enhance her power.

"As long as we get Heaven Thunder Beast, the Ancient Cave Mansion will appear." Ye Xiong laughed cheerily. "Be patient. We should seal the main business first. Yeah, I think even though the warriors of the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple have met troubles, they would still get here. We should hurry up."

Zhu Yi nodded, "Right, as fast as we can. They aren't easy to deal with, either."

"Alright. First, we need to lure the Heaven Thunder Beast. We'll leave it to you," Shi Yan nodded to Ye Xiong.

Ye Xiong didn't talk useless words. He sent his Soul Consciousness into the Storage Ring and took out a potted spiritual herb, which was planted in a glass pot. This grass had seven green, dewy leaves, as if it were real emerald, with a strange aroma that lingered around without dispersing.

"This is the Seven-leaflet Jadeite Grass. Its fragrance is quite thick, and it's the most efficacious medicine to the Heaven Thunder Beast." Ye Xiong put the potted spiritual grass on the deep red ground ahead of them, then poured three flows of his aura into the grass.

The thick aroma permeated the space quietly towards the Heaven Thunder Beast.

The Heaven Thunder Beast looked like a lion with snow-white fur. When the sweet fragrance got into its nostrils, its dark green pupils sparkled. Lightning strikes were dancing indefinitely in its eyes.

The beast got up. Its fur fluttered in the cold gust as it walked towards the Seven-leaflet Jadeite Grass.

"Level 8 demonic beasts have intelligence. Can we entice it with only that grass?" Shi Yan didn't feel relieved.

As far as he was concerned, the King of Demonic Insects and the Devouring Gold Silkworm were both high-intellect creatures with common sense. The Heaven Thunder Beast was also a level 8 demonic beast, so it shouldn't be lured simply like that.

"Of course the Heaven Thunder Beast won't be trapped that easy," Ye Xiong nodded, "Look."

After the Heaven Thunder Beast got out of the astral wind area, its nose sniffed for a while. Flashes of lightning covered its body, changing quickly.

Not long after that, Heaven Thunder Beast shrank in the lightning, transforming into a middle-aged man with white hair draped on his shoulder. Cold light sparkled cautiously in his eyes. He turned around to watch here and there, then shouted loudly. "You again!"

Lightning flashed in Heaven Thunder Beast's eyes. Thunder echoed in his body as he was walking through the astral wind, looking at them coldly.

The power of the chaotic, cold wind hindered his vision. He looked to his left and then his right, as if he didn't spot his target. Gradually, he approached the Seven-leaflet Jadeite Grass.

When he was around ten meters away from the grass, Heaven Thunder Beast waved his hand and the Seven-leaflet Jadeite Grass seemed to be grabbed by some force, falling directly into his palm.

The Heaven Thunder Beast didn't try to be polite, swallowing the Seven-leaflet Jadeite Grass directly. While chewing, it shouted, "What do you want?"

Ye Xiong didn't answer it.

"Ye-ge, how are you going to deal with him?" Zhu Yi was a bit suspicious now. "With only the Seven-leaflet Jadeite Grass? The Heaven Thunder Beast's a level 8 demonic beast. It's not afraid of toxins. You know that beasts have different body structures compared to humans. Their anti-poison ability is far beyond us. If you want to use poisons to deal with beasts, it won't work unless it's the poison that can kill True God Realm warriors. Heaven Thunder Beast can sense poisons. If it dares to eat the Seven-leaflet Jadeite Grass, sure it knows that the grass isn't poisoned. What's your plan?"

Shi Yan had doubts but he was puzzled.

Demonic Beasts had a special physique, with poison resistance ability way better than that of humans. A level 8 beast could be compared with a True God Real expert in this aspect.

Warriors who had reached the True God Realm were almost unaffected by all poisons in this world. Unless, it was a True God realm expert specialized in poisonous technique, who could enter the Poison God level in refining poisons.

No one had ever reached the True God Realm using poisonous techniques in the entire Divine Great Land.

"It's not poisonous," Ye Xiong grinned as a trace of contentment flashed in his eyes. "It's not the Seven-leaflet Jadeite Grass. It's the Seven-leaflet Soul Cutting Grass. I got it from an old vestige. The Seven-leaflet Soul Cutting Grass and the Seven-leaflet Jadeite Grass can be planted together, but the success rate's low. The vestige I found was special. The Seven-leaflet Jadeite Grass grew there had a branch of the Seven-leaflet Cutting Soul Grass growing together. These two species of grass have the same aroma, but their natural characteristics are opposite. The Seven-leaflet Jadeite Grass nurtures the soul, and the Seven-leaflet Cutting Soul Grass cuts the souls."

"Seven-leaflet Cutting Soul Grass?" Zhu Yi was amazed. "I have never heard about this spiritual grass."

"I got its features from an ancient book," smiled Ye Xiong. "Any creatures with souls that eat this Seven-leaflet Cutting Soul Grass will be affected. Its soul will be cut off piece by piece. Gradually, its soul will be in chaos. Human warriors who eat it will have their Sea of Consciousness broken. The spirit and the mortal soul of the host soul will be detached. At that time, they will go crazy. When beasts eat it, their intelligence will reduce, and their souls will be disordered. At that time, only their ferocious beast instinct remains."

Shi Yan changed his countenance slightly.

"The Seven-leaflet Soul Cutting Grass isn't poisonous. It can affect the soul of a life to bring out the real nature." Ye Xiong laughed arrogantly. "The natures of the beasts can't be changed. Greedy, brutal, and bloodthirsty... As long as its nature stirs it up, the Heaven Thunder Beast can't keep its mind clear and sound enough. At that time, we can do anything to it, right?"

While Ye Xiong was talking, the Heaven Thunder Beast suddenly roared ferociously.

After the deafening roar, the white-haired man transformed. Amidst rumbling thunder, the Heaven Thunder Beast turned back to its original form, a snow-white furry lion.

The pupils that once were filled with wisdom had now become bloodthirsty. The beast cried and roared wildly, jumping out of the wind to attack the enemy.

It didn't remember the cold astral wind behind. To the beast, the wind now was its natural shield.

Heaven Thunder Beast moved slightly. Thunder rumbled and electric snakes danced. Brutal force shot out everywhere. Its imposing manners were too ominous and crazy.

Ye Xiong was scared, but cheered up. He screamed happily. "It got out. Be careful. We're about to catch it."

What people were afraid of was the terrible land that the Heaven Thunder Beast was hiding in, where the natural cold gust was moving fiercely. Now that the beast had got out of its habitat, they didn't need to worry more.

Even if the Heaven Thunder Beast was stronger, it was just a level 8 demonic beast. Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi, and Yue Ying were at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm. Together with Yun Xiu and XY, it was enough to deal with a level 8 beast.

Shi Yan squinted. He didn't call the War Devil but the Sky Destroyer, ready to support the others.

All of a sudden, a strong energy surged, shooting out from the place next to Heaven Thunder Beast.

A gray light cave broke down. A group of experts that had been hiding for many days appeared. They stormed towards the Heaven Thunder Beast like wolves and tigers.

Lei Mo and Ai Po.

Chapter 574: Exceptionally envious

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.'

Lei Mo and Ai Po had been hiding here for so many days. They held their breath and used secret treasures to cover their aura to wait for this moment.

At the moment the gray light cage broke, Lei Mo and Ai Po stormed out robustly. They glided to the Heaven Thunder Beast, which had just gotten out of the astral cold wind, and attacked it.

A precious silver mirror sparkled dazzlingly in the air and spotted the Heaven Thunder Beast.

Heaven Thunder Beast seemed to get hit badly. It crouched, shivering unceasingly under the light of the mirror.

Five Golden Dragon Coiling Ropes shot out from Ai Po's sleeves. The Golden Dragon Coiling Ropes glistening with gold lightning furiously wound around the Heaven Thunder Beast.

Heaven Thunder Beast was subdued under Lei Mo's mirror, while its soul was puzzled. It was struggling, as the thunder and lightning power of its entire body was roused.

The Dragon Coiling Rope was the treasure that Ai Po forged, braided from sixty types of metal fibers. It was as flexible as cotton and as rigid as iron.

The production price of a Dragon Coiling Rope was almost ten thousand top-grade Essence Qi Crystals. As Ai Po took out five ropes at the same time, apparently, he had invested all of his capital in this.

The Dragon Coiling Rope was a dangerous tool to tie the beasts. Unless the beast had reached level 9, it could never escape the coiling, no matter how hard it tried.

The precious mirror shone radiantly in the silver light just like a silver stream, illuminating the Heaven Thunder Beast.

The Dragon Coiling Ropes tied the Heaven Thunder Beast. The beast looked dull-witted as the violent light in its eyes dimmed out. Then, it fainted.

Lei Mo and Ai Po cooperated, pulling the Heaven Thunder Beast and turning into a blazing golden light, shooting toward a deep place in the graveyard far from there.

Someone was watching at the tomb entrance. When Lei Mo and Ai Po came, they immediately activated some secret technique that instantly their auras.

The series of actions were as fast as lightning. Ye Xiong shouted, then storm towards the Heaven Thunder Beast. But he then realized that the result was already determined.

Shi Yan, Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu gawked, looking at Lei Mo and Ai Po succeeding their clandestine operation, while they could do nothing.

The silver light radiating from the mirror in Lei Mo's hand seemed to have a restraining power that could affect people's Essence Qi Ancient Tree, which shrank the Essence Qi in their body and restrained their power, making them unable to urge their power.

Lei Mo seemed to have known beforehand that they would arrive.

As Lei Mo disappeared, the mirror was retrieved, and everybody's power was restored.

However, Lei Mo and Ai Po had disappeared into a tomb's entrance, leaving no trace of their aura.

Ye Xiong paled as his face darkened, "Damn it! They had hidden for that long time to ambush the Heaven Thunder Beast!"

He didn't know Lei Mo and Ai Po's purpose.

"How many people know the secrets of the Heaven Thunder Beast and the Ancient Cave Mansion? Before we got here, didn't you say that only the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple know it? Why are people of the Fighting Union taking part in this too?" Yue Ying's countenance was cold and bitter.

Lei Mo and Ai Po's sudden operation that captured the Heaven Thunder Beast right in front of their eyes was like a slap in their faces.

"Lei Mo and the others had been hiding there for a long time. They didn't know how to lure the Heaven Thunder Beast. That's why they were waiting for a good chance." Zhu Yi squinted. "You used the Seven-leaflet Soul Cutting Grass to lure the beast, which gave them the good opportunity. I don't know what they would do."

They approached the entrance of the tomb where Lei Mo and Ai Po disappeared.

Dark purple air currents moved in there with the gloomy cold wind. But they didn't detect Lei Mo's and Ai Po's life fluctuations.

Ye Xiong released his Soul Consciousness, surveying carefully. His face grimaced as he didn't sense anything. Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu also released their Soul Consciousness.

However, when the Soul Consciousness got into the entrance, it was like sinking into a bog, preventing it from sensing anything inside.

"This place's so strange," Zhu Yi thinned his lips while frowning. "Old Ye, why do people of the Fighting Union know about it as well?"

"I don't know," Ye Xiong shook his head." Perhaps, the Martial Spirit Palace and Heaven Temple had exposed it …"

"First of all, how did you discover the Ancient Cave Mansion?" Shi Yan couldn't hold down his curiosity.

"Gongsun Tao of the Martial Spirit Palace invited me to the Shady Firmament Old Mound. He said that he wanted to dig up ancient graves. He said that there was a Sacred Level treasure of Earth class. He wanted me to help, so I agreed. On the way there, we found the Heaven Thunder Beast…" explained Ye Xiong.Gongsun Tao was the team leader of Martial Spirit Palace this time. He had the Third Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base. This team was still surrounded by the barrier which Shi Yan had broken before.

Besides Ye Xiong, he had invited Zhuo Hui of Heaven Temple to the Shady Firmament Old Mound to dig up an ancient grave. After they opened the tomb, Gongsun Tao had the treasure of Earth class he had desired.

When he tried the secret treasure for the first time, no one knew what he had provoked, but the Heaven Thunder Beast appeared.

When the Heaven Thunder Beast arrived, it released the thunder and lightning power which covered the whole sky and activated some formations too. When the thunder and lightning power of the Heaven Thunder Beast took over the center of the formation, people saw a flame sealed inside the formation eye. Lightning from that flame was quite fiery and powerful.

When the thunder and lightning power stormed over, they saw a gloomy cave mansion in the formation eye, which diffused the aura of an old place. Vaguely, they could see buildings and palaces, the sign of a mighty and wealthy sect.

The Heaven Thunder Beast moved around the barrier for a while, then disappeared together with the barrier. They didn't know where it had gone.

Gongsun Tao, Zhuo Hui, and Ye Xiong searched for a while and found the Heaven Thunder Beast again. This time, it stayed in a strong astral wind covered area.

Gongsun Tao, Zhuo Hui, and Ye Xiong found out that their Soul Consciousness would be affected badly if they approached the astral wind. Thus, they retreated in panic.

The three of them started to attack the Heaven Thunder Beast from outside. Later on, they figured out that when the Heaven Thunder Beast urged its power to the acme, it could activate a barrier that revealed the Cave Mansion in the formation eye.

It was out of their expectation that the location of the ancient barrier wasn't fixed. Seemed like it was constantly moving. Every time it appeared, it was in another location.

And, the level 8 Heaven Thunder Beast gradually got their purpose as it hid deeper in the astral wind area, and didn't come out anymore.

Thus, no one had another way around. They had to catch the Heaven Thunder Beast and use it to enter the ancient barrier.

They hadn't come for the Heaven Thunder Beast in that trip, that's why they weren't well equipped. They didn't have the spiritual herbs to lure the beast, or any treasures that could restrain it. Eventually, they had to come back in regret. They would prepare and then come to this place again.

The enticement of the World Distinguishing Thunder Flame and the Ancient Cave Mansion was too big. The three of them had argued right before they got out of the Shady Firmament Old Mound. They had fought against each other with the thought of occupying the treasures for themselves.

At that time, Ye Xiong fell into the lower hand. The other two put him aside and even wanted to kill him first. Ye Xiong had to struggle hard to get out of the Shady Firmament Old Mound with some wounds.Ye Xiong's words were concealed as he hid all the key factors.

However, Shi Yan and the others could make it from his words. They guessed that those three had a big fight, which was really uncomfortable, to compete for the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.

"The Heaven Thunder Beast is the key, right?" Shi Yan pondered. "As long as the Heaven Thunder Beast urges its power to the acme, the ancient formation will be activated?"

"We've done the experiment. It's true," nodded Ye Xiong.

"Lei Mo's the City Master of the Thunder Emperor City. He seems to be good at using thunder and lightning power. Do you think he could activate the barrier?" frowned Zhu Yi.

"No, it's impossible. Otherwise, Lei Mo wouldn't need to capture the Heaven Thunder Beast," Ye Xiong shook his head. "I think at this moment, Lei Mo and Ai Po have occupied the ancient tomb. If we get down there, we will encounter their ambush."

"If we don't get down there, we can't take anything," Zhu Yi forced a smile.

"We have Shi Yan, right?" Luo Xiao laughed. "Formations and barriers, Shi Yan could get through them all. We just need to get there directly."

People's eyes brightened.

"I need to recover first." Shi Yan mused for a while. "There isn't only the barrier, but also Lei Mo and Ai Po. If we want to get there, I need to restore my power completely."

"Right," nodded Ye Xiong.

Shi Yan didn't say any unnecessary words, and started to recover his Essence Qi right in front of the others.After an unknown time, while Shi Yan was still adjusting his breath, Ye Xiong's eyes suddenly got colder as he shot his look to the general direction behind them.

A group of people that all looked like beggars was strolling toward them with distressed eyes and vicious looks.

They seemed to have gone through the devastation of a violent storm. All of them looked exhausted. However, as soon as they saw Ye Xiong's group, ferocious light sparkled from their eyes.

"Ye Xiong, you did well!" A man walking in the front couldn't help but shout.

"Gongsun Tao, before I left, you didn't hesitate to hurt me. If I weren't smart, I would have been died in your hands," Ye Xiong beamed an indifferent smile.

"It's you!" Gongsun Tao thundered.

Zhuo Hui of the Heaven Temple also wore a dark face. Malicious light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ye Xiong's group with evil intent.

"Who's so excellent to destroy the formation eye directly?" Mo Ling Er wiped the tangled hair on her forehead. Her shiny eyes like gems raked through each of the members of the other group.

"Don't think that if you know the formation, it's enough to swagger in the Shady Firmament Old Mound. Many people are better than you," Ye Xiong beamed a faint smile and threw a glance at Shi Yan.

Mo Ling Er's beautiful eyes flashed up with a strange light as she gazed at Shi Yan, her face odd. "Is that him?"

"He's more transcendent than you," Ye Xiong laughingly said.

Mo Ling Er snorted. The corners of her mouth arched oddly. "Well, we shall try to know."

"Where's the Heaven Thunder Beast?" Gongsun Tao was enraged. "Did you succeed?"

There was no trace of the Heaven Thunder Beast in that astral wind area, which gave Gongsun Tao a wrong assumption.

"I'm not the one who succeeded," Ye Xiong forced a smile. "Lei Mo and Ai Po of the Fighting Union got it."

"How did the Fighting Union know about this?" Gongsun Tao didn't buy it. "Besides us, no one else knows. You lie to us. You have the Heaven Thunder Beast."

Everybody in Gongsun Tao's team had their spirit risen up.

Mo Ling Er gazed at Shi Yan, her face angry. She was about to attack him.

Chapter 575: Earth Forbidden Technique

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

Among the outstanding young generation of the Martial Spirit Palace, Mo Ling Er wasn't the most excellent, but she was the most hard-working young girl with a tenacious will.

Mo Ling Er had a special martial spirit, which could sense all changes of energy. This feature helped her be more sensitive in sensing the energy changes in a formation, and that's how she could find the solution to break it.

She wasn't a genuine formation master. However, thanks to her special martial spirit, she had formed her skills in breaking formations.

Previously, Shi Yan had interfered with the formation she was about to break, that dragged her martial spirit into it and hurt her Soul Consciousness, making it strenuous to recover completely.

She had spent so much effort, but Shi Yan had messed it up, which hurt her severely. Due to the change of the formation, her team had a big loss. All were exhausted, and two of them perished in that formation.

If Shi Yan hadn't poked his nose in, things wouldn't have happened that way. She wouldn't have gotten hurt, and her team wouldn't have to bear such a significant loss.

He was unforgivable!

Mo Ling Er's eyes were sharp like an electric current, while her soft arms waved like dancing. Earthy-yellow beads moved, twirling in front of her.

After each bead dropped on the ground, it immediately disappeared into the ground, as if the Earth had absorbed it.

The Earth Spirit Bead was condensed from the Earth Essence. Each bead was ten thousand jin (500kg). When it sank into the ground, it would create a barrier immediately. Together with the heavy earth, it created the Earth Forbidden Technique.

Shi Yan was restoring his Essence Qi using the pellets with his eyes closed. All of a sudden, he felt the earth underneath him changing.

The ground under his feet was shaking gently, as a flow of Earth power, as heavy as a mountain, moved slowly.

Seconds later, Earth Spirit Beads rolled one by one around him.

Those Earth Spirit Beads soon gathered the essence power of the Earth, creating a heavy pressure. The Earth Forbidden Technique was thus formed.

It was like many mountains were pressing down, gathering at the center where Shi Yan was sitting. His breathing became heavier, as a massive pressure was pressing down from every direction. Shi Yan was covered in an earthy-yellow halo, which was slowly pushing down.

The Earth Forbidden Technique was one of the Five Elements Forbidden Techniques of the Martial Spirit Palace. Warriors who got besieged, unless they knew how to use the powers of the Five Elements, would never get rid of it.

"Ye Xiong, give us the Heaven Thunder Beast. Or else, don't blame us for being ruthless," said Gongsun Tao impatiently.

"Let alone the fact that I don't have the Heaven Thunder Beast, even if I had it, you shouldn't dream about taking it from me." Ye Xiong, of course, wasn't afraid as he said coldly, "Gongsun Tao, my advice to you is to not start a war. With your current force, you can't defeat us easily. Don't waste your effort and let the others take advantages from it."

Gongsun Tao and Zhuo Hui's team had lost some of their members in the barrier Shi Yan had broken. They used to be twelve, but now only six remained.

Gongsun Tao and Zhuo Hui were at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, Mo Ling Er was at the Peak of Sky Realm. Out of the other three, one was a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior, and two Second Sky of Spirit Realm warriors.

"Our losses have been huge. You, blood debt should be paid with blood." Zhuo Hui spat out phlegm with a pale face. Then, he took action.

White starlight formed nine rings following each other, snatching towards Ye Xiong.

"Deadly Nine Interlock Rings!"

Ye Xiong was a little pale. He retreated while the Storage Ring on his finger shone radiantly.

Mysterious Yin Terminating Mines that looked like walnuts covered in magical veined patterns flashed with an evil dazzling light, flying out from Ye Xiong's Storage Ring and bombarding the white interlocking rings.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Dense explosions echoed. Ye Xiong's consumable secret treasures blew off Zhuo Hui's martial technique instantly.

Veins bulged on Zhuo Hui's forehead, his face getting more sinister.

Gongsun Tao didn't delay, waving his hand while shouting loudly, "KILL!"

Three Spirit Realm experts of Gongsun Tao's team urged their powers at the same time. Abruptly, secret treasures and weapons showered toward Zhu Yi and the others rumblingly.

Zhu Yi grinned. He didn't look tense at all. A Storage Ring on his left hand's finger flashed in red light. A giant twirling-wind cage covered all of them.

The wind wall shielded them inside the howling wind, firmly facing Gongsun Tao's attack.

Experts of the Spirit Treasure Sect would rarely use many martial techniques that required consuming Essence Qi in fighting, unless it was a crucial moment.

They had so many secrete tools and weapons, which were dangerous enough to deal with the enemies. If they wanted to defeat an Elder of the Spirit Treasure Sect, they had to destroy their secret weapons first in order to harm them directly.

Both Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were good at this sort of a wealthy competition, using their secret treasures to wear out the enemies' energy.

On the other side, Gongsun Tao and Zhuo Hui had a headache with Ye Xiong's and Zhu Yi's defensive treasures. They couldn't help but pour more energy to create stronger mysterious attacks, which aimed at destroying the others' defensive treasures. This was the only way to thin Zhu Yi's and Ye Xiong's powers.

It required Soul Consciousness and Essence Qi to control the secret treasures though. The more excellent the treasures were, the more Essence Qi and Soul Consciousness they would need.

Ye Xiong's and Zhu Yi's secret treasures weren't ordinary. However, if they thought that they could win using the treasures, it wouldn't be so practical.

Their fight was now in a tied situation.

Although Shi Yan stayed inside the twirling-wind cage, he was still locked by the Earth Forbidden Technique. The pressure around him was increasing unceasingly.

Mo Ling Er maintained a proper distance, standing dozens of meters away from Shi Yan to control the Earth Spirit Beads. She was continually pouring her energy into the beads.

The pressure Shi Yan was bearing was increasing.

All of a sudden, his eyes were like two sharp sabers as he glared at Mo Ling Er and shouted. "Are you done yet?"

Mo Ling Er gave him the face, didn't answer but smiled arrogantly. The strange power in her five fingers stormed faster into the ground. After the Earth Spirit Beads had received more energy, it enhanced the Earth power, making the pressure heavier.

"Ha!"

Surrounded by the Earth Forbidden Technique, Shi Yan's eyes were cold. He thundered suddenly.

Negative energy was urged, fusing with his Essence Qi and the bursting energy of his body; all the energies halted for an instant, then burst out altogether!

Boom Boom Boom!

The Earth Spirit Beads couldn't bear the impact, exploding shortly one by one. The earth-yellow halo thinned like mist and then vanished.

Using force against force!

Fright flashed in Mo Ling Er's eyes as she was anxious. Yellow crystals fell off her sleeves. They were crystal clear, shiny lozenge stones.

The yellow crystals fell on the ground and then burrowed into the earth just like spiritual snakes, darting rapidly toward Shi Yan.

A new flow of energy strongly replenished the Earth Forbidden Technique, which steadied the Earth Spirit Beads underground. They started to gather the Earth power again.

"Really endless."

Shi Yan hated it. His mind flickered to take out the Sky Destroyer, slashing down. The sword light cut through the ground.

Earth Spirit Beads hiding underground exploded. Those yellow crystals couldn't bear such powerful force, bursting apart into numerous pieces as well.

Mo Ling Er seemed to have gotten hurt badly. She felt a sweet taste in her throat, then spat out a mouthful of blood. The girl was panicked.

She had underestimated Shi Yan's power.

Under her Earth Forbidden Technique, a First Sky of Spirit Realm warrior could never get out using force.

In her eyes, Shi Yan was young. Although he had reached the Spirit realm, his Essence Qi wouldn't be pure enough, which meant he couldn't get rid of the Earth Forbidden Technique's restraint.

Unfortunately, Shi Yan's realm wasn't pure, but his Essence Qi was vigorous and unmixed, far beyond other typical warriors.

Moreover, he had the negative energy, and his own body's tremendous energy. With these cards in his hands, breaking her Earth Forbidden Technique was a piece of cake.

"Woman, don't waste my time. You're not my match." Shi Yan sat in the wind-twirling cage while shaking his head, his countenance as cold as ice.

Mo Ling Er paled. She took out some pellets from the Storage Ring and swallowed them. Her beautiful eyes reflected her fright.

She wasn't good at direct combat; making formations was her specialty. As the Earth Forbidden Technique couldn't hold Shi Yan, she hurried to find another way around. For the time being, she didn't dare to attack him again.

Gongsun Tao and Zhuo Hui were using their martial techniques to attack the defensive treasures of Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi.

Shi Yan frowned and let out a light shout. "Don't waste our time with them. We should get there first."

Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi nodded, their eyes brightening.

No matter what circumstances they were in, as long as he used the Sky Breaking Shuttle, they could always leave easily. Shi Yan had proven this many times. Everybody knew it.

Shi Yan finished, then took out the Sky Breaking Shuttle in front of Gongsun Tao, pouring his power in it.

The Sky Breaking Shuttle formed the light tunnel. Shi Yan's team jumped in, directly sinking into the tomb entrance. They disappeared shortly.

The treasures Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi had thrown out disappeared altogether.

"That tomb," Mo Ling Er let out a low shout. "When I was using the Earth Forbidden Technique, I sensed some fluctuations in that tomb. Perhaps, we can believe them. It's possible that people of the Fighting Union are in there."

Gongsun Tao and the other changed their visage, storming forward hurriedly.Shi Yan strolled out from the ecliptic.

"Is that you?" A surprised scream arose instantly.

In the tomb of gold and jade in glorious splendor, a graceful figure covered her mouth in awe, her eyes disbelieving.

"Ai Ya…" Shi Yan grinned, "Long time to see. In the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, my soul almost perished thanks to you. Well, I didn't expect that we would meet again here. I'm so excited, you know."

Ai Ya's face was stiff. She was bewildered for a while, then said indifferently. "I forgot what happened in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. Thanks for reminding me."

"Ai Ya, who's he?" Lei Ji frowned, looking at Shi Yan with bad intent.

Ai Ya cocked her head and then smiled, "His name's Shi Yan. He's from the Endless Sea. I met him in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. Oh yeah, he's just crossed the Ice Emperor City recently. You should have heard of him."

Lei Ji was shaken. He shouted lightly, "Shi Yan, the one who killed Yu Li Ming?"

Ai Ya nodded smilingly.

"You've encountered him?" Lei Ji's face was tense.

"You can say that. I didn't keep it in mind, but seems like he did." Ai YA smiled deliberately. "Cai Yi, Lao Li, and he joined hands and wanted to kill me. I just took action a little earlier."

Lei Ji got it, cracking a smile. "Ah, so it's like that. People from Endless Sea are swaggering in our Divine Great Land. Interesting."

Shi Yan narrowed his eyes, his countenance cold. He suddenly laughed. "Oh, you got a flower protector. Then, I'll solve it, too."
