Chapter 1043: Curious

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

The blood-colored vortexes in Blood Sea’s eyes were due to the Blood River Path’s ultimate arts—the Netherworld Tribulation Eye. It was an unrivaled martial technique that allowed one to see through the profoundness of how everything in the world circulated.

With this remarkable technique alone, his comprehension of martial arts was at least ten times faster. His efficiency of restraining his enemy and emerge victorious, looking for the opponent’s weaknesses, and finding ways to nullify various sects’ and factions’ martial techniques was also surprisingly great.

At this moment, when he activated the Netherworld Tribulation Eye once again, he was able to see through the layers of steel walls and sense that a man was seated cross-legged in the palace hall.

However, before he could continue checking if that person was real, a Qi field descended from the sky, turning into a millstone with layers of counteracting twisting powers that acted on each other. Wherever it pa.s.sed by, the friction in the atmosphere would produce thunderbolts and flames. It was like a giant millstone of the world, wanting to mince Blood Sea into mince meat.

Faced with this attack that came down from the sky, Blood Sea raised his head and looked at it. He tapped out his finger and sent a stream of blood light piercing through the sky like a laser beam. It shattered and dissipated this Qi field that had formed a great millstone in the world.

Simultaneously, several tens of Illusory Emotions Path’s disciples had caught up and put up a block before the palace.

Fu Daoxian, who was leading them, looked at Blood Sea with a grim countenance and bellowed fiercely, “Blood Sea, stop it. If you offend the important person inside, all of the people from your Blood River Path can forget about keeping your lives.”

“Oh? Important person?” Blood Sea let out a soft laugh. “I’m curious to find out what kind of important person is there in this world whom I can’t even meet.”

Saying that, he pushed lightly with his palm, and the piercing smell of blood soared into the sky. Overwhelming blood waves accompanied his palm and engulfed toward the entire palace.

“Stop him!”

Fu Daoxian let out a soft bellow, and everyone’s essential Qi immediately gathered onto his hand. A Qi field surged, turning into waves of invisible rotating disks that blocked Blood Sea from the front.

The blood and the rotating disks clashed together. Amidst a series of deafening sounds, the rotating disks nullified most of Blood Sea’s powers with its spinning forces. However, the powers in the blood waves were too powerful, and it only took a few seconds for the Qi field to break down completely. Fu Daoxian and the others retreated into the palace as they let out astonished cries.

“Fu Daoxian, as expected of the Illusory Emotions Path’s female Saint. You can be proud of yourself for life to be able to fend off my palm attack for one breath’s time.”

Blood Sea laughed and followed after them, bringing along Fei Li. Wherever he pa.s.sed by, the blood waves around him would break through the layers of steel walls. In the blink of an eye, the entire palace was already wrapped up in layers of the blood river. There was a piercing stench of blood that seemed as if they were going to turn material, making one have the urge to puke from the smell.

With Fu Daoxian in the lead, the Illusory Emotions Path’s disciples circled around the man in the palace. That man was seated cross-legged with his eyes shut tightly like he was circulating powers.

It was Fang Xingjian, who had gone into training in seclusion to comprehend the Great Dao’s Testimony.

Blood Sea looked at Fang Xingjian and let out a soft laugh, “This is the person you guys are protecting?”

Fei Li brows furrowed tightly, seeming to recognize Fang Xingjian’s ident.i.ty. She said in disbelief, “This is… Fang Xuan?”

“Fang Xuan?” The light in Blood Sea’s eyes flashed. “The Divine Capital’s young Emperor, Fang Xuan?”

Fei Li quickly nodded and said, “That’s him. When I went to the Divine Capital three years ago, I had a glance of him from afar along the streets. Although he has changed a little, this appearance is really him.”

“Hahahaha, so that’s how it is. I didn’t expect the Illusory Emotions Path to have abducted the young Emperor.” Blood Sea smiled coldly. “Heaven is really on my side. I shall be taking him.”

As he spoke, the blood waves around him trembled slightly. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a blood dragon that charged out in Fang Xingjian’s direction. Seething powers circulated within the blood dragon’s body, condensing to form dragon claws, scales, horns, and whiskers. It looked very life-like as though it was a real dragon.

Although Fu Daoxian and the others put in all of their efforts to resist, how could they possibly be a match for Blood Sea? The blood dragon put out its claws, and violent powers came gus.h.i.+ng forth. Streams of forces shattered the Qi field that was put up, and the Illusory Emotions Path’s disciples spat out blood and died from being shaken to death.

The colliding currents blew off the palace’s roof, and the surrounding walls shattered abruptly, exposing the entire palace hall to sunlight.

Even though Fu Daoxian had received guidance from Zhao Yinglan and started learning the Illusory Demonic Rotation, she was still dealt with serious injuries after performing its power-neutralizing technique to an extreme. The bones throughout her entire body shattered, and her internal organs were damaged. She was only left with the last bit of her essential Qi that allowed her to continue to hang on to her life.

The blood dragon appeared as if it had only crushed a few ants and continued to fly toward Fang Xingjian without stopping at all, sending one of its dragon claws grabbing out fiercely toward Fang Xingjian’s head.

However, just as the dragon claw was about to grab onto Fang Xingjian, it came to an abrupt stop and was no longer unable to budge.

Fang Xingjian slowly opened his eyes. Right now, his gaze was filled with impatience.

The Great Dao’s Testimony had given him too many surprises, and he had devoted all of his calculative powers—including the excessive calculating abilities of the people from the two regions—to derive an understanding of the profoundness in Great Dao’s Testimony. He no longer paid any heed to everything else that was happening.

In fact, if Blood Sea had made a move against him, he would not care even if everyone in the Illusory Emotions Path were to die. These things were too insignificant in comparison to what he was doing.

Right now, just the act of opening his eyes had caused the blood dragon to disintegrate completely. The dragon’s scales and claws shattered one by one, eventually exploding into a pool of blood that fell onto the ground.

“Interest…” Blood Sea smiled. Not only did Fang Xingjian’s performance not brought him any panic but it even caused a hint of curiosity to rose within him.

However, before he could finish what he was saying, a palm had already pressed down on his cheeks, covering his entire mouth.

“Trash.”

Blood Sea only felt as if his head was compressed by two continents. The Gang Qis in his body erupted, and streams of blood waves drowned the entire mountain completely. The land under his feet was being dissolved at a rapid speed.

However, no matter how hard he tried to perform his moves, that hand that was grabbing onto his face did not budge at all. On the contrary, the powers that came from it became increasingly stronger, causing his bones to release kacha kacha sounds. It was as if they were going to break down at any moment.

At the next instant, the overwhelming blood sea broke down, turning into blood rain that fell onto the ground.

A human figure that was like a crimson meteor shot out from the mountain peak, causing the air to tremble explosively. The figure pierced through the atmosphere, producing streams of air currents and sound explosions and then smas.h.i.+ng onto the other side of the battlefield. Wherever the figure pa.s.sed by, the land would shatter, parts of the mountain would collapse, and smoke and dust would rise up. Countless rock fragments and soil would also splatter out.

That figure smashed into the ground, creating a crater which was several hundred meters wide right in front of the battlefield where Heavenly Yaksha, White Asura, and the others were. It also caused the six Tiangang Realm experts’ battle to be forced to a stop.

The joint circulation of the quintet’s Gang Qis fended off the strong gales brought by the impact.

Then Heavenly Yaksha waved his hand, dissipating the smoke and dust before them.

Under the quintent’s astonished gaze, Blood Sea lay at the center of the crater like a battered gunny sack. Most parts of his body had been turned into a pool of mud.

However, the most terrifying thing was still his head. It had been crushed to a deformed state.

One could tell that it had been clenched because there was still a handprint left behind on his cheeks. The print of the five fingers were especially distinct on his cheeks, accompanied by broken and deformed bones as well as flesh that had been compressed together.
