Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Thunder rumbled from the ground as if the immortal behind the clouds was furious!
A phenomenon suddenly appeared, as if someone had changed his fate and snatched the creation of the world. Heaven was berating him and the world could not tolerate it!
An Le was dumbfounded. So this was a true great cultivator who dared to fight for life with the world and roar at the heavens!
The power of the seven-colored Heart Sword gathered. Zhao Huangting did not dare to be careless. He retracted his mental power and sat on the plateau of the Sixth Mountain. It was as if there was heavenly fire on his back. The space between his eyebrows split open, and a Primordial Spirit wrapped in sword qi like purple lightning leaped out.
The Heart Sword sword qi that received the Bodhisattva’s descent devoured the Nirvana Fire that appeared behind him!
Under the clouds, a majestic wind blew.
It was spectacular and eye-catching.
In Lin’an Prefecture.
In the Imperial City.
Emperor Zhao casually withdrew from the court and ended this chaotic situation.
The civil and military officials were dressed in court attire and bowed with cupped hands. When Emperor Zhao and the purple-robed Eunuch Tong left together and disappeared from the high seat, the officials filed out of the Heavenly Profound Palace and stood in front of the palace gate, standing on the White Jade Vermilion Steps. They could not help but raise their heads and look at the magnificent scene of the meteorological changes outside Lin’an Prefecture!
Some people were filled with heroic qi and fought for their lives with the world!
Qin Lishi stood in the middle of the officials and could not help but squint. He could not help but sigh. “What an impressive Old Imperial Uncle.”
Beside him, the Eldest Prince looked at the magnificent sky and his ugly expression recovered a lot. “However, Great Zhao will no longer have an Old Imperial Uncle from now on.”
The Eldest Prince’s words made Qin Lishi retract his gaze. “Your Highness, there’s no need to worry. Just do what needs to be done. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?”
Faced with Qin Lishi’s words and towards the powerful Prime Minister who supported him, the Eldest Prince’s expression softened a lot.
On this day, Emperor Zhao did not obtain the Heart Sword from Jade Guanyin, which meant that it was still unknown if he could extend his life for five hundred years.
There was still suspense in the battle for the throne.
“The Second Prince has been in seclusion in the Celestial Master Residence to break through to the sixth realm of the Spirit Refinement Realm for a year. I think he’s about to successfully leave the mountain. Your Highness, you can tell the Second Prince everything that happened in Lin’an Prefecture.”
“With the Second Prince’s temper, he naturally won’t let go of such a good opportunity. If we can capture An Le and return him to Lin’an, it will definitely be a perfect opportunity to show off in front of His Majesty. It’s an extremely good bargaining chip to become the Crown Prince.”
“However… Your Highness, don’t forget that An Le is definitely extraordinary. He won’t be captured so easily. If the Second Prince fails, His Majesty will naturally be very disappointed.” Qin Lishi said softly.
When the Eldest Prince heard this, his eyes lit up.
Emperor Zhao stood halfway up Phoenix Mountain.
The evening wind blew gently. He stared at the burning clouds that were gradually descending from the sky above Green Mountain in the distance. He could feel the majestic aura that seemed to be about to tear the world apart compressing and converging bit by bit.
The Heart Sword that he had dreamed of was used during this period.
“Zhao Huangting…
Emperor Zhao Tianyan’s expression was extremely ugly. The Heart Sword that was at his fingertips had been lost because of an inconspicuous youth.
The source of the failure could be blamed on Zhao Huangting giving Green Mountain to An Le!
In fact, in order to completely suppress the matter and prevent him from revealing the Zhao family’s trump cards, Zhao Huangting ignited the Nirvana Fire and made the army retreat, forcing him to give up.
He originally thought that Old Imperial Uncle would die just like that. He would only last for a short while in the Nirvana Fire.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Huangting turned around and found Attained Suzhu, using the Heart Sword he had been longing for to suppress the Nirvana Fire.
It was simply… rubbing salt on his wound!
“Old Imperial Uncle, oh Old Imperial Uncle. From today onwards, the Zhao family will no longer have such a person. If you’re heartless, don’t blame me for being unjust.”
“Once you leave Lin’an, it’ll be the pugilistic world.”
“Rules are no longer rules.”
On this day, many experts around Lin’an Prefecture saw this spectacular scene of changing the weather.
Deep in the Martial Temple.
Between the two cliffs, the water was rapid and surging.
Chains intertwined on the cliff above the strange stone.
Di Cang removed his armor, took off his clothes, and floated above the Martial Chief Stone. With disheveled hair, he raised his head and looked at the magnificent phenomenon of burning the sky and fighting for life with the heavens. He could not help but grin.
“Cultivating Nirvana and going north to compete with Emperor Yuan Meng to seek satisfaction… it is your style, Zhao Huangting.”
“I’ll wait and see.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Cang used his finger as a saber and cut open his chest. His beating heart seemed to emit a thunderous roar.
A drop of blood essence gathered from his heart and dripped onto the Martial
Chief Stone.
In an instant, it was absorbed by the Martial Chief Stone.
This strange stone that was watered with the blood essence of generations of Martial Chiefs had long contained intelligence that far exceeded what the world should have.
This stone might have already become a spirit.
After dripping this heart blood, Di Cang left the Martial Temple and went to the
Blue Wave River, throwing himself into the battlefield.
He didn’t want to stay in this foul-smelling Lin’an for another moment.
The phenomenon of the burning clouds lasted for three days and three nights.
Such a grand scene naturally attracted attention. 50 kilometers away from the Sixth Mountain, there were already 10,000 troops deployed.
The second-grade Nation Supporting General, the Nation Suppressing General, the second-grade Golden Guards, and other experts were all waiting quietly on the official road outside the Sixth Mountain.
As the Sixth Mountain Lord of Sacred Mountain, the Emperor of Great Zhao was naturally very wary. He did not dare to give the order to charge straight up the mountain and could only wait obediently outside the mountain path.
In fact, these experts knew very well that it was probably just for show. They could not even keep anyone in Lin’an. After leaving Lin’an, they still wanted to keep Hua Jiebing, who had Attained Suzhu’s support?
It was unknown when a drizzle of late spring had arrived in the sky.
The drizzle was not misty, but it was quite strong. It slapped the ground,
muddying the mountain path and blurring the world.
The Sixth Mountain was exceptionally quiet.
Even a heavy rain could not hide the phenomenon of the burning clouds.
Attained Suzhu and Zhao Huangting seemed to have turned into statues on the field. However, the rain from the sky could not approach their bodies at all.
An Le sat cross-legged on the limestone path. He had been sitting here for the past three days.
Because of the majestic sword qi spewing out from the mountain path, every pore on An Le’s body opened up at this moment, as if he was devouring it in large mouthfuls.
He had once bathed in the sword rain on the mountain path and practiced the Five Animals. Therefore, his Spirit Refinement stepped into the Embryonic Breath Realm and condensed the Sword Pool between his eyebrows.
The Sixth Mountain contained the sword qi nurtured by the Sixth Mountain Lord over the years. There were 3,000 hidden swords in the Mortal Sword Case, but this Sixth Mountain also contained 3,000 sword treasures.
After releasing the [Heroic Qi Attraction], An Le’s physique and Qi Blood were greatly depleted. His Inner Core was dimmed, the Sword Furnace was covered in cracks, and his Primordial Spirit was sleeping. It could be said that he was in an extremely poor state.
Even with the [Eternal Prodigy] talent, it would take some time to recover.
However, with the help of the sword qi that rose from the mountain, the Innate Swordsman Dao Fruit continuously trembled at this moment. The sword qi baptized and washed his body strand after strand.
With every wave, the dormant Qi Blood seemed to recover.
The Demon Origin Treasure Jade at his waist also emitted demon qi, turning into a colorful demon qi python that coiled around An Le.
Demon qi seeped into his body, and sword qi washed over his body.
The Inner Core gradually emitted a light. On Green Mountain, the ancient demon tiger revived and the ferocious bear roared.
The Ancient Demon Five Animals were completely revived at this moment.
The cracks on the Sword Furnace between his eyebrows also gathered and recovered bit by bit. The sword qi in the Sword Furnace clanged.
The heavy rain washed over the world.
On the square, the majestic might of the old man from the Imperial Ancestral Temple gradually converged.
On the stone path of Green Mountain, the white-robed young man’s aura gradually rose and surged!
Madam Hua and Li You’an stood silently in the distance and looked at the young man in white. The two of them looked at each other in silence.
His Inner Core was clearly dimmed and the Sword Furnace was filled with cracks. His Primordial Spirit was sleeping.
With such injuries, he had to recuperate for at least a month or two.
Hua Jiebing was prepared to return to the Sensory Temple to seek treasure medicine for An Le.
In the end…
At this moment, the young man’s aura was rising steadily. His condition was back to normal, and he did not show any signs of weakness. Even geniuses like Hua Jiebing and Li You’an were speechless.
Was this… still a human?!
