Chapter 660 - Punish
Chirp Chirp!
Yuan Hong was flustered and exasperated, and at the same time, he saw that the Xuan Nation’s large troop of soldiers didn’t back down after a long battle. The ferocious warriors of the demon tribe died in the battle, one by one. The teenager that was transformed from the large golden Pengornis couldn’t help but became flustered. He stretched out both his arms and a large shadow was cast down. Suddenly, he expanded and transformed into the appearance of a giant bird. The darkness almost enveloped the entire Kun camp.
“Magic—Law Phenomenon!”
A tyrannical voice sounded through the space instantly.
“Friends, help me quickly!”
Kun Xie shouted angrily while he took a large bow from his back.
This white bow was extremely huge. The bowstring was vibrating slightly, as though there were thunder claps passing through.
On the bow, there were also densely carved symbols.
“Receive my arrow!”
A few Immortal Cultivators were long prepared as they took out a few arrows.
These arrows were obviously custom made: One of them was translucent, as if it was a beautiful carved jade; another was made from metal and was filled with thorns, making it appeared vicious; and the last one was made from bone and seemed to be made from the same material as the bow.
Since that time the large golden Pengornis swallowed his great army, Kun Xie learned a lesson from this bitter experience. He went through a long and arduous journey to kill mutated beasts to obtain their bones. They were then made into a magical weapon that could control the large Pengornis.
He didn’t say that much now as he transitioned straight to putting the arrow into place and positioning himself before releasing it.
Zap!
The bow was as frightening as a clap of thunder!
The jet black metal arrowhead shot out as if it was a flood dragon 1 and went straight for the large Pengornis in the air.
Kun Xie didn’t stop there. He went on to shoot the other two arrows. He was obviously risking everything in a single attempt and wanted to accomplish the entire task in one go!
Poof!
Blood splattered as the golden Pengornis cawed.
The giant shadow became messy as a few drops of fresh blood rained down.
Kun Xie fixed his eyes upon the teenager. Although he was still standing straight, high up on the clouds, there was blood on both of his shoulders and his chest. One of his hands were still holding onto a _. Suddenly, he screamed ferociously, the shape of his face changed, and he grew a hooked beak and the eyes of a hawk. “All of you… Should just die!!!”
Although his figure was broken now, he swooped down, fast like lightning, unstoppable.
“Taoist technique—Mountain Move!”
“Taoist technique—Transformer!”
Kun Xie and the others constantly performed their techniques and even travelled over the virtual image of a lofty mountain. Unfortunately, it was nothing compared to the raging large golden Pengornis.
“All of you… have no idea what a true immortal techniques is!”
The teenage Pengornis person walked on air to the front of Kun Xie and the other Immortal Cultivators before raising his palm.
Zap! Zap!
Golden light gathered, transforming into a sharp blade.
Kun Xie and the others were going to become dismembered in the next moment.
“Don’t even think of going on a rampage, demon!”
At this moment, Li Rubi rushed over on a horse. A long spear flew out, emitting a red glow that messed up the dharma power of the large Pengornis.
“Demon?!”
The golden large Pengornis looked at Li Rubi with a strange look.
After all, to the Pengornis, the people in front of him still had souls from the demon tribe even though they had already reincarnated into humans!
“You traitor. You helped the enemy for your own profit. I will end you today!”
After his astonishment, it quickly became rage.
To the large golden Pengornis, it was unforgivable for the demon tribe to side with the humans! At that moment, it waved its hand and a virtual image of a large Pengornis appeared, it’s sharp beak attacked downwards.
Poof!
Li Rubi jumped away quickly, but the horse beneath him was injured in a split-second, its blood gushing out.
As if he had met his natural enemy, the opponent’s demonic power pressured him to the point that he couldn’t breathe properly.
“Don’t you dare hurt anyone!”
Kun Xie would, of course, understand the logic being intimately interdependent, and he brought his partners forward to help.
However. The large golden Pengornis was extremely aggressive as it began to attack them.
Even the morale of the soldiers below them were roused after witnessing this scene.
While so many things were happening, Kun Xie retrieved three magical arrows and shot them at the centre of the large Pengornis in a split-second.
However, this large Pengornis emitted a column of white smoke. All of its injuries healed instantly as if it was immortal. Even Li Rubi felt goosebumps when he witnessed this.
“Yes!”
On the other hand, Yuan Hong was very happy when he saw it. “Little Shi Sheng, you don’t know the right time. Can’t you tell that Kun Yushan has already fallen? The world still belongs to the master of the Xuan Nation, I’ve won!”
“Not necessarily!”
Shi Sheng was secretly very anxious and shook the Chaotic Heavenly Banner.
Whoosh!
Earth, Fire, Wind and Water appeared and transformed into a powerful torrent that trapped the large golden Pengornis in an instant.
“Ah… What kind of magic weapon is this?”
The color drained from Yuan Hong’s face. Suddenly, a bad idea popped into his head.
“It was given to me by the elder!”
However, Shi Sheng was mentally stable. He looked at Kun Xie, Li Rubi, and the others that stretched their hands out to resolve the situation. “Can’t you tell that it’s Master’s purpose?”
“No! I don’t believe it!” Yuan Hing roared. His facial expression became sinister. Even his original appearance emerged as he pounced forward. “Who is Master? Why would he be bothered about the changes in the mortal world? You must be faking it! And you even stole Master’s magic weapon!”
He and Shi Sheng belonged to the same cultivation path, both of their dharma powers were on par. However, Shi Sheng slightly considered their old relationship and was being overly cautious. He was, eventually, forced to retreat in defeat, bit by bit.
Buzz!
Shi Sheng was distracted. The Chaotic Heavenly Banner he controlled instantly appeared to have a slight crack in it. Gold light shimmered, and an exhausted large golden Pengornis flew out. Its feathers were messy, however, within one breath, it recovered to state that was as good as before.
“This array is very powerful, it cannot be fought forcefully!”
Looking at the combat array below him, he saw that the developing techniques of the Kun Nation troops made them extremely ferocious. Conversely, they actually made the Kun Nation’s troops retreat in defeat, step by step. It couldn’t help but become enraged as it pounced towards Kun Xie. “Give me you life!”
Seeing that the large golden Pengornis broke free, Kun Xie forced himself to remain calm as he placed the arrow into position, aimed at the head of the Pengornis, and shot.
Poof!
Its brains exploded. White smoke soared towards the sky as another identical brain appeared.
Even if he knew that the opponent had an indestructible body, this change still caused Kun Xie to be dumbfounded.
Promptly, he saw a large giant claw fall from the sky. The terrifying
shadow buried him in an instant.
Crack!
The giant claw closed and only traces of blood seeped out.
Kun Xie—the leader of the Kun Nation that had heard the preaching of the Tao master, in an instant, dissolved into ashes and smoke. A trace of his true spirit flew out and went off into the distance somewhere.
“Beasts, how dare you?”
Shi Sheng was shocked when he witnessed the scene unfold in front of him. He didn’t care about anything anymore and took out a throwing knife that cut souls. He prayed to it. “Please turn around, treasure!”
Zap!
A ray of blazing white brilliance surged up to the sky with its murderous aura.
Just as it appeared, the entire battlefield became so silent you could hear a pin-drop.
This white brilliance moved as fast as lightning. In an instant, it was able to successfully chase down the golden large Pengornis. With just a flash, the large bird seemed to be unable to move at all.
Amidst the concentrated white brilliance, one could indistinctly see a dagger.
Accompanied with Shi Sheng’s request, the small dagger went around the large golden Pengornis and turned slightly.
Poof!
A golden soul ray appeared and was attacked. With a blow, it was beheaded!
The soul was eliminated, and the demonic body of the large golden Pengornis turned to ashes within the white brilliance and disappeared.
Under this attack, the soul was killed and the spirit was seized!
Looking at how the large golden Pengornis from the generation of large demons could be killed so easily, Yuan Hong was finally afraid. With a shriek, he ran off without even looking back.
Looking at the view of his back, Shi Sheng’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t talk.
“Kun generals and warriors, listen to my command. Avenge the Kun leader, Kill them!”
Li Rubi was elated when he saw what happened.
He had previously planted an agent within the Kun Nation. At the moment, he was leading the headquarters and was about to perform a counter-attack. He had firmly grasped the outcome of the battle and had the Xuan Nation completely routed.
It was as if there was a ball of flames inside his heart.
“Kun and Xuan are both suffering from heavy losses… This world, belongs to me!”
…
The 50 year history of the Xuan Nation came to an end.
The Xuan, Kun, and Mountain soldiers fought at the Great River plains. The Kun Nation won at first before also being defeated. The imperial advisors had died in the battle. Similarly, the Kun Nation’s king had also died in the battle.
Li Rubi led the elite soldiers and destroyed the Xuan Nation’s large army and achieved outstanding fame. Shortly after bringing back the troops, he incorporated the entire Kun Nation’s army, and he was elected as the king by the Kun Nation’s leaders. They had altered the name of the dynasty to “Mountain”!
The Xuan Nation lasted 55 years.
The Mountain Nation’s large army attacked Xuan, and with its overwhelming force, for the duration of the entire campaign, it defeated the Xuan Nation. Xuan Wangzhang burned himself to death, and his concubines were executed.
Since then, the Mountain Nation officially ruled the whole world.
In that same year, Li Rubi changed the ruler’s title to “Tao Augmentation,” and he cared for and recovered the financial resources of the people. In addition to that, he had also developed the cropping system and education. By also controlling each and every human and tribe, he had fully built a feudalistic kingdom.
In the fifth year of Tao Augmentation, the Mountain Nation’s rule had already spread to the entire Five Elements Continent, and they had explored the entire map.
As a result of this, Li Rubi worshipped the heavens again and called himself, “The Emperor,” and he was called the “The Reigning Emperor.”
The history of the 5 Stats Continent had, once again, flipped to a new page.
…
Within a blink of an eye, more than 10 years had passed again.
Kun Wu mountain remained the same. There was an abundance of an immortal aura, it was as though it didn’t experience the wearing of time.
After building the temple on the mountain, disciples that had once heard of the rumours of the bestowment of skills gathered one after another. They organized the ancient texts and settled down while they served. It was more popular compared to before.
“The Ancestral Dragon has arrived!”
On this day, Fang Yuan sat on the couch and suddenly commanded people to open the mountain’s gate to recieve a line of people on the mountain.
The leading person was, shockingly, Li Rubi.
The current him had already aged. His white hair flowed in the wind, and despite this, his body’s presence was extremely majestic, especially at the top of his head. There was a colorful auspicious aura ball that was the virtues and merits formed by humanity.
On the sideline, Shi Sheng escorted Yuan Hong with a emotional look.
“Greetings, Tao master!”
The three of them entered the main hall. They bowed and greeted Fang Yuan when they saw him sitting on the couch with his legs crossed.
“Elder, this is my report, Yuan Hong had greedy desires in the mundane world and made a ruckus below the mountain. I have detained him and brought him back!” Shi Sheng fell out and reported.
“Restrain him at the back of the mountain; get the brass ring and pierce it through his nose in order to subdue him!”
Fang Yuan waved his hands and promptly looked towards Li Rubi.
“Tao master!”
Li Rubi bowed 90 degrees to greet him. “I’m willing to offset my own virtues and merits. I hope that Tao master can forgive Mei Xi!”
“Fine!”
Fang Yuan said few words.
Now, he could naturally tell that Li Rubi was in a pure state of mind.
After all, he had reincarnated. Even if he became the son of the heavens 2 , his body was also a mortal one. His kingly body had already died of old age, and he had inherited the position of being a son of the heavens.
“The Ancestral Dragon can enter Red Cloud Hollow to acquit Mei Xi from the fire sentence with at the compensation of your virtues and merit!”
He coldly arranged.
In actual truth, he had taken the Red Cloud Hollow as a common example of a retreat mechanism. With the Ancestral Dragon here, the previous generations of kings, that found a Nation, would have to enter Red Cloud Hollow to obediently retire in the future when they were approaching death, this path would be hopeless!
This was the rule he had set for humanity!
