Divine Brilliance

“Woah, what a familiar aura…”

 In a deathly silent world, there were mountains, plains, streams and rivers.

 However, there were no trees, plants or living beings.

 The sky was dark with numerous soul fires burning. Looking out on the land, there were numerous dead beings walking around on the ground.

 At this moment, on one of the high mountain peaks, within an ashen white palace, a mutter spread out.

 The voice was soft and couldn’t be heard but it caused a calamity around the palace.

 Numerous Yin flames extinguished due to the voice.

 At this moment, on a golden throne deep in the palace, there was a skull-like person who opened his eyes.

 It was more like a ball of soul fire igniting in each of the empty holes.

 Maybe because he was asleep for many years, his mind was a blur and at a loss.

 “This is King Path, no, it actually is the aura of the Saint Emperor…”

 The moment the last two words were spat out, the skeleton instantly stood up, its eyes filled with shock and remembrance.

 …Saint Emperor energy. He hadn’t felt it for many years. Was it 10,000 or 20,000, it had been so long he couldn’t remember.

 However, this aura felt slightly different.

 The energy of a Saint, mixed with Death Energy. Evil Spirits forced back…

 Who knew that such a person would appear in the living world!

 Was this person within his predictions?

 His jaws moved up and down and gave out a cracking sound like he was laughing.

 Then, the skeleton stopped.

 Evil Spirit retreating? Death Energy? What was happening? How could a Saint King control Death Energy? How could he connect with Death Energy?

 Before he dies, all sorts of Evil Spirits and Energies shouldn’t be able to get close to him!

 How could this Saint Energy spread to the nether region?

 A sense of danger rose up his head and for some reason he was a little surprised.

 He suddenly stood up and the Vast Intent swept around to search for where that aura was.

 However, at this moment it was already too late and he couldn’t find any trace.

 The skeleton stopped smiling completely and entered deep thought.

 An instant later, when the white Yin Flames around him suddenly jumped, a voice could be heard from layers of space away.

 “Did you sense what happened just now?”

 The skeleton didn’t reply, wasn’t it obvious? If he didn’t sense it, why would he spread his Spiritual Sense out over this 100 miles of land?

 “Did you find out where it came from? Who in the world did it?”

 The skeleton kept silent, even if he knew he wouldn’t tell it to the person.

 “So you didn’t find it? Your brain needs to be washed, sleeping for 10,000 years really made you dumb!”

 Logically speaking, he should have been angered for being mocked like that. However, at this moment the skeleton didn’t have such an emotional response.

 What was funny was that after it died, its emotions calmed, only worrying about and craving for life.

 As long as the thing didn’t affect his survival it wouldn’t get angry.

 Moreover, this fellow was correct. He was indeed a little slow, just a bit quicker and he would be able to find his trace.

 However, at this moment he didn’t think of how to deal with the fellow.

 Swallow him? To see how the soul of a Saint tasted? Or bring him to the Netherworld to make him king?

 Maybe not finding the person was a good thing instead!

 “I want the person, he is useful!”

 So?

 “One can’t enter the world of the living easily. However, I heard that your toy is about to wake up from the grave?”

 The skeleton’s mouth curled, showing his unhappiness, despite not having lips.

 That was his daughter and not a toy…

 “Okay! Even if she is your child I want her to listen to my orders to help me do some things. I can help her to wake up!”

 The skeleton laughed once more and stretched his hands out.

 “You want benefits? You really are someone who won’t take a losing deal.”

 A black glow suddenly crossed the space and entered his hand.

 It was a black Circular Pillar, like a relic but filled with Death Energy.

 The skeleton grasped it and smiled in satisfaction.

 “Okay!”

 However, it was filled with prestige like that of a wave surging!

 Following this, he looked at the east where life and death intersected, where Nine Yin gathered!

 　　※※※※

 Kong Yao looked at the ashen White Energy charging up dozens of miles away on the deck of the Nine-Tooth Cloud Ship.

 Zong Shou’s body was originally tough to be touched by evil. Even if the evil spirits were strong, they couldn’t compete with his intent. In the world, the intent of Heaven and Earth would even help him block.

 Such scenes shouldn’t be shocking at all.

 However, she had a special talent and was able to see the pure White Energy within the Death Energy.

 The Saint King energy was actually so thick that it could be shown in the world?

 However, how could it mix with the Death Energy? The two million Vengeful Souls didn’t get destroyed by the White Energy? What was happening?

 Kong Yao moaned and rubbed her head in confusion.

 She really couldn’t understand what was happening. She instinctively rubbed her temples. A month ago she personally gave up on this bloodline talent.

 She wasn’t going to let it affect her judgment. She also wasn’t willing to lose lifespan for that fellow.

 However, at this moment she really wanted to use her Heaven Eye to look at what was happening…

 Speaking of which, that pain of giving up on the Heaven Eye was something she couldn’t forget till today.

 However, maybe she gained benefits from this because when she came to the battlefield once more, she realized that she had greater confidence in battle. Just from looking at the entire situation, she could grasp it completely!

 “Making use of Death Energy, what kind of sword technique is that?”

 “Hell opens, give rise to death?”

 Zhao Yanran and the others were the ones who were speaking. Hu Zhongyuan mocked, “Your head hurts now? If you don’t have the skill, you shouldn’t have taken that Commander seal…”

 Kong Yao looked impassively at the fellow and caressed the Treasure Sword that Zong Shou gave her. She acted like she was about to do something, causing Hu Zhongyuan to retreat. Kong Yao smiled and then her expression turned solemn.

 “General Ling, lead five towns to prepare to disembark onto land. The other forces can move after! Once you disembark, General Ling will be in command. General Hu can lead your troops to defend the ships!”

 Zong Gang frowned when he heard this, “The Spiritual Formation on the island still isn’t broken! Isn’t it a little too early?”

 “Once all of you are prepared it would be broken.”

 Her voice was calm, describing it as a simple matter…

 Zong Shou thought about it and looked forward. There was nothing he could retort about, saying seriously, “Why is it not me but Lingxuan?”

 Hu Zhongyuan was also furious. Even he had greater experience than Lingxuan. Why did he have to defend the ships to watch others gain merit?

 “I have been in Gantian for many months and checked your war records when I was bored.”

 Kong Yao’s eyes flashed, “Right Army Inspector has been through 173 battles and in each battle more than half of the enemies were killed. You also killed the hostages four times right?”

 Zong Gang was startled, what did this have to do with Lingxuan commanding?

 “What I am worried about is that your killing personality is too strong!”

 As she said that, her gaze became casual, “The Ruler only wants to kill the heads. As for the million troops, he has other uses for them…”

 Right as everyone was discussing the matter of the troops disembarking onto land, Zong Shou charged down carrying the Vast Death Energy.

 His eyes were filled with shock.

 The Nameless Sword was really weird. Just now when it scared off those Evil Spirits, most of them were killed by his Sword Intent.

 However, those Yin souls weren’t shattered and destroyed but all sucked into the sword body, nowhere to be seen.

 What was weirder was that half a breath later a weird force seeped in from the Nameless Sword. A drip of green liquid entered his Soul Ocean.

 Following this, his soul instantly bubbled. Numerous green flames burnt and reached out to all corners of his soul.

 Zong Shou was frightened. Following this, he noticed that it wasn’t a problem and calmed down.

 At this moment he didn’t have time to observe the liquid closely. Where did it come from? What was happening within his soul?

 After a little distraction, he focused back on the sword tip. A sword expert like him had to be fully focused when he used the sword. He couldn’t even be a little bit distracted.

 This time it was like a hot knife through butter! Seventh layer! Eighth layer! Ninth layer, the Spiritual Light Barriers were all broken by the sword!

 Weihai couldn’t keep calm anymore. He knew what the outcome would be once this last layer was wiped out. He smashed with his fist!

 Zong Shou eyes flashed and then he laughed out loud. The ashen White Sword glow changed, hovering between real and illusionary. Like it was stabbing out of the Netherworld, a loud clang as it struck the fist!

 It was totally silent with no strength at all, like it couldn’t take a blow. However, Weihai explosively retreated like a rabbit.

 He gritted his teeth and Zong Shou sliced off his right hand. The moment he did, the arm started to decompose, and instantly it turned into dust and bones.

 Handou’s face was ashen white like a piece of paper.

 The Great Death Restriction Formation was useless. The Evil Sealing Violent Talisman also did nothing. A Spiritual Formation that could block the attacks of a million people was so easily broken.

 Zong Shou was actually so strong?

 Suddenly, he recalled the warning from Daoling Vast Habitat, it was totally true.

 The head of the Pinnacle Sword was really unrivaled before the Spiritual Wave.

 At this moment, flames were burning around his body. The sword in his hand sliced upward slightly and the last barrier was ripped open.

 He then laughed, stepping on the million Yin Souls and into the area.

 “Aren’t you not giving? Since good words don’t work I’ll just take it myself!”
