Chapter 505: The Main Hall is Actually a Branch Hall…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“True foundation!”
As Jiang Yi was falling in mid-air, he suddenly recalled those words while his eyes had a serious expression. Ji Tingyu didn’t lie to him, and Dugu Qiu wasn’t an idiot as well. This Martial Arts Main Hall and this Hades Abyss were a huge problem!
Tsk! Tsk!
The surface of the Hades Abyss was lit up with this blinding radiance while a divine light shot down from the Nine Heavens above. It was shot into Ji Tingyu’s image which was in mid-air.
Immediately after, Ji Tingyu’s image quickly expanded, and the image had signs of materialization. The ten folds larger Ji Tingyu appeared in mid-air while her terrifying prowess suppressed Jiang Yi from high up in the air.
Bang!
Jiang Yi crashed onto the ground, causing a tremor, while the limestone slabs cracked with multiple crevices. The horrifying prowess was just like a huge mountain, which didn’t allow Jiang Yi to stand straight. He was kneeling on a single knee.
He wielded the Fire Dragon Sword while his blood red eyes looked towards Dugu Qiu. He was appalled to see that his two fire dragons and ghost flames were actually extinguished easily.
“This…”
He struggled to lift his head, and when he saw Ji Tingyu in the sky, his eyes were filled with disbelief. Ji Tingyu’s aura presence was suffocatingly strong, and several folds more than Dugu Qiu. It was almost the same as the Demon Empress!
In other words, when the giant array of Hades Abyss was activated, the divine light from the Nine Heavens had instantly turned Ji Tingyu into a Heaven Monarch.
A martial artist, who barely raised her cultivation to the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm using celestial stones, had actually increased her strength by several times—to the Heaven Monarch Realm—just by activating the giant array? Jiang Yi felt as though he saw a ghost in mid-day. No matter how incredible an array was, it was impossible to increase a person’s strength so drastically that it was going against the laws of the martial dao.
The Heaven Monarch was the peak existence of the human race!
The Ling Clan’s Patriarch had reached the peak stage of Vajra Realm a hundred years ago. He secluded himself for a hundred years and was still unable to take that final step. Even Shui Youlan, who was a heavenly prodigy, couldn’t reach the Heaven Monarch Realm yet.
A Heaven Monarch Realm martial artist was one that had combined three different mid-grade dao patterns. The dao patterns were a mysterious existence and the laws, quintessence, and the truth of heaven and earth.
Without comprehending the dao patterns, the heaven and earth would never recognize someone and wouldn’t borrow any heaven and earth’s power to that person—let alone bestowing that person the power of the nine heaven stars.
Yet, this giant array in the Hades Abyss was actually bestowed with the power of the nine heaven stars. It allowed Ji Tingyu to instantly grow stronger. So strong that Jiang Yi was unable to contend against. How could Jiang Yi not be shocked…?
“Keke, Jiang Yi, you cannot understand it, right?”
Ji Tingyu was standing high up above. Her body was materialized, and it didn’t look like an image. Even though it was ten folds larger, she was still dazzling while wearing an elated light smile.
It had been more than two years!
She had been waiting for this day for days and nights. She wished for Jiang Yi to kneel before her, admire her, and beg her for mercy.
For the past two years, she had been living in Jiang Yi’s shadow. Jiang Yi’s meteoric rise had suffocated her like a pressing mountain.
She was just a young la.s.s, who was pitifully weak. When she entered the Martial Arts Hall by herself, she was nearly violated and played around. She was even nearly killed twice.
She didn’t have anyone to rely on and didn’t even dare to contact Ji Tian, fearing that she might expose her ident.i.ty. Until now, Ji Tian still thought that she was dead.
For the past two years, she only had a single motivation. That was to take revenge and kill Jiang Yi.
Thus, when she stood firm in the Martial Arts Hall, she immediately plotted the incident of the Black Wasps and relied on the Devil Star Vines to nearly kill Jiang Yi. She then plotted for the Demon Empress to leave and use the alliance army to attack Summer Rain City. She still wasn’t a.s.sured and asked an elder to discreetly make a move. The elder effortlessly seized the frail Jiang Xiaonu who had reached her limit of transformation.
During the battle at Stellarsky City, Ji Tingyu thought that Jiang Yi was certainly going to die. Hence, even if it was very dangerous, she insisted on going to Stellarsky City with Dugu Qiu. She didn’t expect for Jiang Yi’s Ma.s.sacre Intent to reach the fifth rank and caused their last-minute failure.
After she returned, she had been plotting and thinking of ways to kill Jiang Yi. She didn’t expect for him to actually find the Hades Abyss and rushed in like a fool.
“Jiang Yi!”
Ji Tingyu withdrew her thoughts and smiled lightly, “Do you know why the Demon Empress doesn’t dare to go against the Martial Arts Hall? Do you know why didn’t the six va.s.sal kingdoms dare to invade Stellarsky City 10,000 years ago and obediently partic.i.p.ated in the Kingdom Wars? Do you know why the Martial Arts Hall had been here since the beginning of the continent, and even when Empires were replaced, the Martial Arts Hall was still here? Do you know why there were so many Heaven Monarch experts in the history of the continent, but none of them dared to go against the Martial Arts Hall?”
Jiang Yi’s head was shaken. These questions had been troubling him for a long time, but no one could explain to him. Since Ji Tingyu wanted to explain, he naturally wanted to know. Even if he had to die, he wanted to die knowing why. Furthermore, he was trying to drag it on and think of a method!
Hence, he struggled to let out a grin and said, “Jiang n.o.body will listen with all ears!”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi had been suppressed, and his Ma.s.sacre Intent had disappeared. Dugu Qiu was now able to move as he desired. He laughed with a prideful expression and interrupted, “Our Martial Arts Hall is very formidable. We are not only the dictator of this Stellarsky Continent, but we are also the dictator of the entire Stellarsky Domain! Our Martial Arts Hall has a branch hall in every continent of the Stellarsky Domain. This Master might be the Chief Hall Master of the Stellarsky City, but I am just a mere Branch Hall Master in the Stellarsky Domain.”
“Jiang Yi!”
Dugu Qiu walked over slowly and spoke, “You are too tender. You don’t even know how big the outside world is. Let me say it like this. If the Stellarsky Domain is a chessboard, then the Stellarsky Continent is just the smallest chess piece. There are plenty of continents in the outside world which are a few times, ten times, or even a hundred times bigger! There are countless experts in the world outside, and Vajra Realm martial artists are not even considered anything great. While… we, the Martial Arts Hall, are the uncrowned ruler of the region, possessing hundreds of Heaven Monarch Realm experts. We already transmitted a message to the Main Hall and asked them to transfer over two Heaven Monarch envoys to kill you. But I didn’t expect you to fall into the trap yourself! This Hades Abyss has a Heaven Fate Great Array set up by the experts of our Martial Arts Hall. Let alone you… even if the Demon Empress came here, she would have to die!”
Ss, ss…
Jiang Yi took in a deep cold breath while he had this utterly pale expression. Many of the doubts were unraveled in his mind; of course, there were still plenty of smaller doubts. Why was the Stellarsky Continent so small, but the world was called the Stellarsky Domain? Since the Martial Arts Hall so powerful, why didn’t they just publically conquer the entire Stellarsky Continent? Why did they want to conduct the Kingdom Wars on the continent? And… what kind of relations.h.i.+p did they have with the underground world?
However…
All these didn’t matter as Dugu Qiu was speaking the truth. It was obvious from how the Demon Empress was so apprehensive towards the Martial Arts Hall.
Jiang Yi revealed a bitter smile as he didn’t expect the Martial Arts Main Hall that he found was actually just a small branch hall? The true influence of the Martial Arts Hall was so powerful that even the Witch G.o.d would have been turned into ashes if he went against them, right?
So what if the Hades Abyss didn’t have this Heaven Fate Great Array? So what if he could kill Ji Tingyu and Dugu Qiu? The Martial Arts Hall could just casually send over two Heaven Monarch experts to wipe out the continent and even eradicate the continent.
How could an insect shake the heavens?
This statement was originally a joke, but it had become the absolute truth right now.
