Chapter 482 - Great Qian Empire
“Father, are you really going to just sit by idly and watch?”
Ji Yaoxue had a blaming look in her eyes the way she looked at the Emperor of Great Zhou. The assertiveness in her eyes was overwhelming and she already possessed a sort of dominance that was unique to the emperor!
“First, Su Zimo is my lifesaving benefactor. Putting the past aside, even in the ancient battlefield this time round, I would have died in the hands of Jun Hao and the others if it wasn’t for him!”
“Second, he’s the number one Weapon Refinement Master of Great Zhou and would definitely become a Great Weapon Refinement Master in the future with limitless accomplishments.”
“Third, and most importantly, he has unlocked nine spirit meridians and has reached the legendary Extreme Foundation Establishment realm. This is the second person in history who has done so apart from the Human Emperor! Is a paragon as such not worthy of the Great Zhou’s attention?”
Ji Yaoxue’s three sentences caused the emperor to turn entirely silent.
In reality, the third point was still the one that moved the emperor the most.
If he could take an Extreme Foundation Establishment Cultivator under his wing, there was a huge possibility that the Great Zhou Dynasty could one day defeat all the other three dynasties and reign over the entire North Region of Tianhuang Mainland!
Gu Xi replied regrettably, “It’s a pity that as the second person in history to reach the Extreme Foundation Establishment realm, Su Zimo is about to die without the chance to grow further.”
Demoness Ji’s eyes dimmed.
Gu Xi sighed. “The impression left on the cultivation world by that catastrophe 10,000 years ago is way too deep. No cultivator or sect is willing to make an enemy as strong as the witch race just for the sake of Ethereal Peak!”
…
Beneath Ethereal Peak, blood flowed in rivers and the corpses were stacked like mountains.
On the Golden Core battlefield, Su Zimo made use of his strong physique and terrifying movement techniques to sustain in the fights continuously, ensuring that they did not lose.
However, Ethereal Peak was already completely defeated on the Nascent Soul battlefield!
There were more than a hundred Nascent Souls but more than half of them had already died. The remaining Nascent Souls were wounded and could only struggle to defend while being steadily defeated.
It was only a matter of time before Ethereal Peak was annihilated!
The situation of the old immortal crane above the clouds was even worse!
To begin with, the old immortal crane did not have long to live. Unless she progressed in her cultivation realm, she would have only held on for a few dozen more years even without this calamity.
Although her true form was a Bi Fang, a pure-blooded ferocious bird, she was already old and her combat strength was not even half of when she was at her peak.
Of the five Void Reversions that were fighting in the battle, one of them was even from the witch race. By this point of the battle, the old immortal crane was already at the end of her road.
Wounded all over, her gaze was dimmed and her feathers shed endlessly; even the flames on her body were starting to extinguish.
Blood Crow Palace’s Lord waved his bone staff and shot forth an extremely evil blood arrow.
“Pfft!”
The old immortal crane was unable to dodge in time and an additional bloodied hole the size of an arm appeared on her wings.
A sizzling sound was produced from the wound and it ate at her flesh nearby. Oozing with thick blood, the smell was pungent as the old immortal crane grunted.
Immediately after, the attacks of the remaining four Void Reversions landed on the old immortal crane.
Poof! Poof!
Two more wounds appeared on her body and blood gushed like a stream.
The old immortal crane’s body almost exploded and one of her legs was snapped. It was a tragic sight as she swayed, about to fall.
The old immortal crane had protected Ethereal Peak for thousands of years ever since the Founder Master passed away. She had truly given it her all and fought to the very last moment without backing off!
Everyone from Ethereal Peak was heartbroken when they saw that.
“Senior crane!”
Sect Master Ling Yun exclaimed miserably.
The outcome was decided. The moment the old immortal crane falls, all the other Ethereal Peak cultivators would be akin to fish on a chopping board, helpless to being slaughtered.
“Fufufufu!”
Blood Crow Palace’s Lord sneered, “Old beast, I’ve already told you. Today, I’m going to massacre Ethereal Peak from top down, leaving no one alive!”
