Divine Brilliance

With just a flash from Little Gold and Hanxi, a knife glow appeared and those Grade-9 cultivators directly had their heads cut off.

The few Spirit Realm cultivators dodged and block in a very haggard manner.

Zong Shou moved to the front of Zigui from ten thousand feet away.

He spread out his hand, breaking away the body protecting energy and then grabbing towards that person’s head.

He wasn’t willing to let Zigui, the main culprit, to die just like that. Which was why he chose not to use the sword and grabbed him right away.

He had to capture him back to the country to parade him at the foot of Gantian Mountain, slicing him with millions of blades to vent his hatred!

Opposite him, Zigui’s eyes were filled with despair.

When experts clashed, only a short engagement and they would know the rough difference in strength between them.

Although Zong Shou was only Grade-9 but the killing intent suppressing over could counter him. It also smashed the last bit of hope in his heart.

Like he knew that he wouldn’t be able to avoid death, his body suddenly exploded. A blood mist spreading all over, essence energy surging all about.

“I am definitely dead today. Senior Brother Qingming quickly leave!”

The surrounding space was suddenly forcefully broken open. After a person behind him was sent into the void, with a loud explosion, he and his soul were smashed to bits.

Zong Shou stood in the sky full of blood and flesh, allowing the specks of blood to smack his body.

It felt like there was a layer of energy being struck by many blood dots, however, he didn’t move at all.

He felt slightly annoyed. This Zigui was let off too lightly! He was also too careless.

Following which he felt slightly curious. Who was the person who Zigui would sacrifice his own life to let him escape?

“Interesting!”

Standing on the spot, Zong Shou used his spiritual sense to reach out.

Zigui used his vital energy to cast this secret technique, breaking through space and teleporting Qingming to thirty thousand miles out. At this moment, he was actually within Central Cloud Continent.

Seeing the space tunnel about to close, Zong Shou slashed out. A blood red sword light was like that of a dragon as he slashed into the gap

He could hear a painful shriek from over there. Afterwards, this tunnel which Zigui opened up had disappeared.

“Woman?”

Zong Shou found it extremely weird. A Taoist who cultivated over hundreds of years, why was she crossdressing? That was really weird.

He didn’t bother much about it, waiting with his hands by his side. Waiting for Little Gold and Hanxi to claim the lives of the dozen people around.

He then broke this space and left the underground lake.

Right as Zong Shou left the abyss, he felt several sharp intents land from around.

“Spirit Realm?”

Zong Shou’s brow rose and he could feel a warning intent from them.

A portion was really tempted to test him out.

He had just been in secluded meditation for just a year and there were so many more Spirit Realm beasts under the Cloud Ocean…

In that instance his soul subconsciously reacted. Massacring Sword Intent and Nine Dragon Sword Intent merged and charged up.

In that split second in smashed and dissipated all their spiritual sense!

Following which a dragon roar spread out thousands of miles, sweeping past everything!

Beneath the Cloud Ocean, all the beasts under this space were suppressed and all knelt down.

There were many extremely painful beast roars spreading out from thousand of miles out.

They were harmed by his sword intent, such that their souls were injured.

Zong Shou shook his head helplessly. Before most spirit beasts gain intelligence they could only rely on swallowing Heaven and Earth energy to cultivate.

Even after they became smarter, there weren’t many good ways to cultivate. They needed to advance step by step to raise their bloodline to inherit their race’s abilities.

The development of the soul would take months and years of accumulation.

This Sword Intent injury was huge to them. It would at least take a few years for them to recover. This was the price for provoking him.

He also found it weird. These Spirit Beasts all had their own territories. Why did they all gather here today? Do the cries seem to come from one direction?

Right as he was thinking about that, a blue light swiftly charged over.

A vast blue flame appeared really eye piercing in his dark underground land.

Looking out, Zong Shou realized that it was a giant beast. It looked like a turtle but it had a pair of wings allowing it to drift in the sky.

Its eyes were filled with a fierce glow. It opened its turtle mouth and spat out a thick and heavy blue flame that swept over like a wave.

The fire wasn’t a normal fire but a cold flame. It caused the surrounding hundreds of miles of land to freeze up.

The vapor in the air turned into ice dust.

“This is mutated god beast? Blue Fire Xuan Turtle?”

Zong Shou didn’t intend to dodge as he looked over. Looking at its aura, it was a descendent of a god beast! One of the mutated types of the Xuanwu Turtle, its strength also reached High Spirit Realm.

He was also shocked in his heart and knew why so many Spirit Realm beasts would gather here.

A Beast King traveling will naturally be majestic. These nearby beasts would naturally listen to it.

His Sword Intent didn’t only heavily injure those beasts that provoked him but it angered this turtle too.

The blue flame descended and froze up the area a hundred feet out from Zong Shou.

Chill energy seeped in and attacked, making Zong Shou feel cold.

Zong Shou retracted all his energy. He didn’t even spread out his pair of black lightning wings.

Until the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was a thousand feet away, he suddenly thrust upwards with his sword!

He retracted his energy so that he would be able to go all out on this sword!

Time, Cause and Effect, Fate…

Three types of laws, three sword intents all stacked on the sword.

The red sword light turned into an extremely sharp white glow, breaking through the ice layer above.

The sword energy was focused; where the sword passed, there was just a finger-sized hole. It was extremely calm and focused. No energy leaked out.

The giant fire turtle above couldn’t help but blink, fear in its eyes.

The fierce glow instantly fading, it closed its mouth and retracted the flames. Following which it leaned backward with much difficulty, flapping its wings with all its life to try to pull its falling body.

However it was still a little slower. The white sword stabbed in from its lower body. The blood mist spread, directly breaking its shell and stabbing into the body.

It also pierced the armor above in one strike.

The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle cried out. Following which there were four knife-like ice wings that formed where its limbs were. It didn’t hesitate to turn and run.

A cracking sound spread from around Zong Shou as the thousand feet ice layer collapsed.

Following which the three thousand feet black wings finally spread out.

Little Gold and Hanxi were let out, instantly catching up to the turtle. With a flash of the sword light it smashed those ice wings.

Zong Shou also flashed over right onto the back of the turtle whose speed was reduced.

He smiled. Since a year ago when he was unable to awaken the intelligence of that Monster Eye Silver Bear and had to give it up. He couldn’t find a suitable god beast to protect him.

Be it Hanxi or Little Gold, or Xiaomi or Lightning Dragon they could only attack and not defend.

This turtle was a mutated Xuanwu Turtle and was one of the best defensive god beasts in the world.

Since he met one, he couldn’t let it go!

When the turtle saw that the situation wasn’t right and that it couldn’t escape nor fight, it instantly retracted its head and limbs into the shell.

A blue flame blazed as layers of black blue ice covered its body.

Zong Shou stood on its back. Even with the Lightning Blaze Thousand Flash around him he could still feel cold intent attacking his body.

However it was only similar to when he fought Prince Jia Mingluo.

In terms of skills, he was stronger. But its realm meant that the blue flames were a little stronger than his.

The two types of flames clashed, giving rise to shocking lightning exploding sounds.

Zong Shou didn’t bother, directly slashing down on the shell with a sword.

He knew that only by making it yield and surrender, and forcing it into despair could he make it his protector beast.

Who knew that when the sword slashed down and broke the ice layer, it was actually rebounded from the shell.

Zong Shou was also forced back several steps by the energy. His body wasn’t injured, but his soul was due to using the Cause and Effect power.

Zong Shou’s eyes were filled with shock.

Although he didn’t go all out, he did use the Cause and Effect and Fate powers as well as the Platinum Dragon Sword.

In terms of strength it was actually not much weaker so why did it rebound?

In this next instance he came to his senses. It was the Xuanwu Protective Energy!

One of the strongest natural abilities of the Xuanwu Beast!

Beneath the shell was extremely thick energy which merged with the ice layer, which was why his Nameless Sword couldn’t piece through.

Even if this Blue Fire Xuan Turtle wasn’t the purest bloodline, it was not far from it.

He wasn’t annoyed but delighted instead. It was what he saw as the best protector beast in his heart.

Naturally, the stronger its defensive were, the better. To be able to have the Xuanwu Protective Energy also surprised him.

Without hesitation, he slashed down once more with another sword. This time there was a loud clang as it broke the ice layer and then rebounded.

Zong Shou wasn’t dispirited, he didn’t believe he couldn’t break this shell!

Although the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle kept its wings, many ice wings appeared, a total of ten pairs of them.

They flapped, giving rise to a huge storm. Its gigantic body instantly traveled ten thousand feet away.

It was extremely quick but not faster than Little Gold and Hanoi. The gold and silver light shot over, their blades slashing as they cut off those ten pairs of ice wings.
