Divine Brilliance

“I know that Your Highness definitely wants to kill me. Luckily, I repaired some things before I came…”

Whilst he spoke, Li Wuhui threw out a purple-gold spiritual talisman. The space around him was filled with time and space spiritual energy.

“Celestial talisman? The Heaven and Earth World Breaking ability?”

Zong Shou’s brows rose, and then he calmed down. Even though this was a celestial-grade talisman, Li Wuhui could still use it to teleport out from within the Pinnacle Space Dome Formation.

However, before he escaped, it would not be so simple.

Just as Li Wuhui’s body was about to disappear, Zong Shou stabbed out, and his sword sunk into the void.

This was the Instant Space Dragon Sword! Zong Shou used the Black Hole Technique to continue to twist space-time.

At this, Li Wuhui scoffed, before he sighed once more.

The black space sword in Zong Shou’s hand collapsed and disappeared.

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed. He scoffed and continued to walk up the mountain.

Just now, he had heavily injured Li Wuhui, but he hadn’t managed to kill him. Since this person had a way to escape from the Pinnacle Space Dome Formation, he could only temporarily stay his hand.

This debt would be settled another day!

The black blade continued to gather energy. He slashed in the air, sword energy surging and suddenly slashing three hundred feet out.

When this blade was broken once more, a body chopped into two suddenly appeared in the spot his blow had landed.

It was actually a grade-9 martial cultivator! His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Since the beginning of the fight between Zong Shou and Li Wuhui, he had been using the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect formation to cover his tracks and bide for time.

Unfortunately, from start to finish, Zong Shou hadn’t shown any weaknesses.

Zong Shou coldly stepped forward, only to feel a few auras swiftly retreating. In just one breath they had totally disappeared, and Zong Shou could only shake his head.

Did these people not know that once he got to the peak, they would have a life and death battle?

When that time arrived, they would not stop until one side was utterly annihilated.

A few hundred Energy Destroying Crossbows were still firing at the mountain. However, the core restrictions of the mountain’s protective formation were becoming tougher and tougher.

With each step that Zong Shou took, he had to think carefully for a moment before he could solve each part of the formation.

However, dozens of breaths later, a blood-coloured spear suddenly leapt across the air, right towards Zong Shou!

First, it totally destroyed all the talismans and restrictions in the six hundred feet in the front of Zong Shou. Then, with a ‘duo’ sound, it sank into the ground. The spear’s handle continued to vibrate.

Zong Shou’s brows relaxed, and he looked behind him at where the blood spear had come from. He saw Zong Yuan toss out another spear, using 10% of his own subjects’ blood mist. Those three hundred Blood Cloud Cavalry soldiers were all rushing to the mountain peak.

As for the remaining commanders, they were doing the same thing. However, they did not use spears, but instead two feet-long short halberds. All of them struck at the stone path in front of Zong Shou.

At the foot of the mountain, the millions of enemy troops had either been forced to the sides or slaughtered and absorbed into the blood mist.

Zong Shou’s lips curled up as he continued upwards. Now, bit by bit, the road in front of him was made smooth by the Blood Cloud Cavalry’s barbaric blasting attacks.

Zong Shou easily made his way up the stone stairs. In just a few moments, he had arrived at the peak.

If one looked from below, the peak was at most four thousand feet high, totally unlike Gantian Mountain.

However, if one was on the peak, this place was actually two hundred thousand feet wide. Unlike Common People Path, the spiritual energy was really bountiful, and everything shone with a five-coloured spiritual glow.

Right away Zong Shou’s eyes were attracted to the formation running in mid air.

Two thousand people all standing at one specific spot.

However, within this circle, the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect disciples had a painful expressions on their faces.

Their bodies were withering, their essence energies and vital energy sucked out thread by thread, and gathering at the center of the formation.

A vast lightning ball hovered in their centre, and it was getting stronger and stronger. Below it stood Han Nishui.

Although he couldn’t see it, Zong Shou knew he was a step away from the spiritual house.

This time, before waiting for the Blood Hale Weeds and blood spear behind him, the black wings that stretched to two thousand feet flapped.

All the lightning, all the black flames gathered around Zong Shou’s arm, turning into a giant longsword, as he slashed forwards!

Lightning Blaze Thousand Flash, slay!

Where the black shadow passed, everything was destroyed. Space itself seemed to be breaking like glass! The core of the formation was dissipating—it no longer existed.

When Zong Shou stepped onto the peak itself, a loud roar sounded, like lightning birds chirping. Numerous five-coloured cloud lights gathered.

Three hundred thousand feet away, Kongyao licked her lips, and unwillingness appeared in her eyes.

In the end she had succeeded! When he stepped onto Mysterious Cloud Mountain’s peak, a giant white dragon had formed, circling around Zong Shou’s body.

Coloured clouds gathered, and there were thousands of rays of auspicious light. This was the sign of true king energy!

She didn’t want to stop looking, but that at this moment she had no choice.

She felt a stabbing pain from the wound at the center of her brows. She could only unwillingly retract her bloodline’s secret technique.

The majesty of a king couldn’t be trampled on or taken lightly. She could look on Zong Shou normally before the process had been completed.

But at this moment, if she dared to stare at him for too long, she would be blinded and suffer punishment from Heaven.

Even just now, for those few seconds she had looked upon him, if it had been anyone else, they would have lost thirty years of their lifespan.

‘It was still the saint king!’ She thought, silently in her heart.

Even if Zong Shou’s hands were covered in the blood of millions, that king energy was still pure white! It almost seemed as though the more he killed, the purer it got.

All of Heaven and Earth seemed to be cheering and feeling happy for him. She even felt that the entire world was feeling restlessly shifting because of it.

Almost at the same time, in another part of the void, a richly dressed woman suddenly stood up. Her exquisite jade-like face totally changed.

Saint king, how could he be the saint king?

The disciple who Weixu had chosen for her sister, what was his background? How did he possess the energy of the saint king?

That aura was so obviously pure, she couldn’t have seen it incorrectly!

The other girl beside her was at a loss. “Second Sister, why are you so shocked? Why are you so out of sorts?”

The woman kept silent, and after a long while she glanced at the teen beside her.

She thought to herself that if the girl knew what had happened, she would have the same reaction. But should she tell her?

Thinking for a moment, the woman still spoke up, “Just now, Zong Shou formed the dragon energy!”

The teen girl smiled and wasn’t surprised.

The four million elites of Thousand City Alliance would all die here. Most of the Donglin Sects would either be disbanded or wiped out after this battle. In this world there wouldn’t be anyone who could stop Gantian Mountain from unifying Donglin Cloud Continent.

This was why the luck of Donglin was all gathered on the body of Zong Shou. Forming the dragon energy was naturally to be expected.

Why should she feel surprised about that?

Second sister calmly said, “You know, since I used my secret technique on tricks to reach End Realm. Although I didn’t study luck techniques, sometimes I can see it through my natural senses.”

The teen nodded. Even though her sister’s methods didn’t belong to a true proper path, all End Realm experts all had extremely strong natural abilities.

Second sister was pretty much omnipotent, thus naturally she had such skills.

In her heart she also felt curious. What had Zong Shou done to make her second sister so shocked?

Her sister’s calm voice continued. “Just now I saw his king energy. It is extremely pure, no flaws at all!”

The moment she said that, the teen was startled and then broke out into a laugh, “King energy, pure white and flawless, so it is the saint king energy? I remember long ago I read in a Taoist book discussing luck and destiny. However, Elder Sister, you are joking with me right? How long has it been since the saint king appeared in the Cloud Desolate Era? It is impossible for there to be another one, even that ruler in the Central Continent and those rulers of thousands of worlds, no one had the ability to be called a True Saint Ruler…”

As she said that, she looked at her second sister, only to realize that her face was serious.

Second sister was definitely not joking with her!

The teen was stunned once more. Her heart understood. “He really is the saint king?”

Seeing second sister nod, the teen didn’t know if she should be sad or delighted. She only felt that it was really preposterous.

“Our Common People Path can actually give rise to a saint ruler? What is this? A lazy fellow that doesn’t care about anything is actually the saint ruler recognized by Heaven and Earth? The gods must be blind…”

She rubbed her temples. Suddenly, she recalled something and her eyes opened wide.

She turned to lock eyes with the other woman, and they both exclaimed in unison, “God Emperor…!”

Sometimes, events occurred not when people wanted them to occur, but precisely when they didn’t. For the Common People Path was it a blessing or a curse?

The brow of the older woman was tightly furrowed. She remembered that Weixu had once mentioned that Gantian Mountain was really important to their Common People Path.

Now thinking about it, there had definitely been a reason behind that statement. Was it because the way Zong Shou ran the country was in line with the beliefs of the Common People Path Sect? If that really was the case, then she had to go take a look.

Zong Shou was stunned as he looked at the sky, at the five-colored cloud lights.

This is Five-Coloured Auspicious Cloud?

This was nonsense. The killing had just begun, and four million lives had just been decided by just a word from him.

Shouldn’t the heavens cry and punish him at such a time? Why did auspicious clouds appear on the mountain peak, casting a propitious glow over everything?

Had the heavens lost all reason?
