Chapter 1410: Being a Shadow Knight

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

What happened just now felt illusory but was real. In the eyes of king roc, everything in the universe was different than that in commoners’ eyes: the so-called sage-level knights were as weak as ants; space barriers didn’t exist at all; his destination belonged to numerous stars; even suns were free accesses. Everything was too fantastic and marvelous. After sitting quietly for a while, Zhang Tie gradually recovered from the visual angle of king roc.

After that, Zhang Tie introspected himself as he saw a blue water chakra slowly rotating like a gear in a huge machine. At the same time, a pretty great strength appeared in his body.

Water was the source of life. Water chakra was composed of water elements, which was different than the water that we usually drank. Even so, with the rotation of water chakra, each cell, nerve, gland and organ of the human body would be unprecedentedly vigorous being lubricated by the energy of water chakra, enhancing his physical agility, defensive power, explosive force and endurance into a wholly new realm.

The interaction between earth chakra and water chakra brought him changes. Earth chakra carried water chakra; water chakra lubricated earth chakra, making it steadier and more powerful. Additionally, there were many more changes, after seeing which Zhang Tie understood it at once.

Those mysterious feather-shaped runes in the core of the chakra of black iron knight had been replaced by the virtual image of a 4-wing king roc.

Sometimes, this virtual image flapped its wings and flew across the space extended by those chakras; sometimes, it incarnated into an exotic, big fish and jumped into a water chakra before having fun inside.

It was the very virtual image that Zhang Tie owned when he promoted to a shadow knight by cultivating King Roc Sutra ; and another incarnation that combined his body, will, energy and awareness.

The virtual image could change freely between a huge bird and a huge whale. The virtual image was Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie was the virtual image.

Water was variable. In different temperatures and conditions, it could change into intangible gas and fill the space; it could exist in liquid state which could lubricate living beings silently in terms of raindrops or dew with the beauty of tranquility; it could turn into heavy fog which covered the sky and the earth; it could become flood and billowy ocean; it could be beautiful and dignified snowflakes, covering the sky and the earth with white; it could also become icicles as sharp as sabers and swords and as firm as steel.

Any knight would own more possibilities after forming his or her water chakra. With more existential space, he or she would enter a wholly new realm.

This was the spiritual realm of shadow knights.

After promoting to a shadow knight, King Roc Sutra brought Zhang Tie some more bizarre changes besides more powerful overall strength and the incarnation of the virtual image.

Previously, Zhang Tie could already simulate the effects of other secret methods using the ability brought by King Roc Sutra. Now, after promoting to a shadow knight, this simulative ability had become consummated. Besides the emperor-level secret method, he could already present the effects of any secret method. Not only that, he could even casually simulate the levels and realms of secret methods and a virtual image in the stage of shadow knight. Even sage-level knights couldn’t see through it.

What shocked Zhang Tie most was that he could even simulate the heavenly knight realms of the baron-level secret method after reaching 4 change realm of shadow knight.

In the 4 change realm of shadow knight, Zhang Tie could simulate the heavenly knight realm of the baron-level secret method; when he reached 5 change realm of shadow knight, he could simulate the heavenly knight realm of the viscount-level secret method; when he reached 6 change realm of shadow knight, he could simulate the heavenly knight realm of the count-level secret method; when he reached 7 change realm of shadow knight, he could simulate the heavenly knight realm of the marquis-level secret method; when he reached 8 change realm of shadow knight, he could simulate the heavenly knight realm of the duke-level secret method; when he reached 9 change realm of shadow knight, he could simulate the heavenly knight realm of the throne-level secret method.

It meant that Zhang Tie could promote to a heavenly knight who cultivated the baron-level secret method whenever he wanted after entering 4 change realm of shadow knight.

Before promoting to a shadow knight, the latest fruit of brilliance that he took included all the spiritual energy of a shadow knight, 7 earth knights and 4 black iron knights, enhancing his spiritual energy to a record high. After promoting to a shadow knight along with a series of strengthening and extension, Zhang Tie’s spiritual energy in his mind sea had already expanded into an unimaginable, brilliant galaxy.

Zhang Tie accomplished this promotion atop the boulder besides Elements Abyss. After feeling his changes, Zhang Tie picked himself up and left out of there.

At this moment, Zhang Tie felt stoned. Even though he didn’t dip into any flight ability, he still felt flying with wind by foot.

Zhang Tie instantly took out his Thor’s Hammer.

When he held his Thor’s Hammer which weighed 6,800 kg, Zhang Tie shook his head helplessly, ‘It’s light, too light.’ Previously, he had already felt it was light. This time, it became even lighter than it used to be.

Shaking his head, Zhang Tie teleported his Thor’s Hammer into his portable space. Closely after that, he went towards the palace tree along mountainous steps. Being mature mentally, Zhang Tie didn’t feel too thrilled except for the pleasure surging in his mind when he promoted to a shadow knight. Actually, Zhang Tie had been an earth knight for a long time if the 6 decades that he spent with Yan Feiqing in the tower of time was counted. During such a long time, Zhang Tie had already fostered enough patience and tenacity.

Castle of Black Iron remained unchanged. However, due to different realms, the trees, water and stones inside there felt different with various colors than those he saw in the level of earth knight. The most evident change was that Zhang Tie could have a deeper and clearer sense about “water” in the void and the mountains, stones and trees. Water existed in air, mountain, stones and trees.

Such a profound feeling came from the resonance of Zhang Tie’s water chakra to the water in the material universe. Such a resonance directly acted on Zhang Tie’s strong perception as the divine dominator.

Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy while a broad, bean-sized icy bead came into being out of the void. Closely after that, it fell onto the stone step and broke into pieces...

As Zhang Tie walked forward calmly, the icy beads started to increase in quantity and density, causing a mini hail.

The hail was condensed by moisture in the air. It was Zhang Tie’s first time to attempt to manipulate the invisible moisture in the air with the ability of divine dominator. That was as marvelous as legendary magic. Even Zhang Tie was shocked by such an amazing ability.

The hail slowly turned into snowflakes as if it was snowing. Zhang Tie walked towards the top of the mountain along with the snowflakes. If commoners outside Castle of Black Iron saw it, they might fabricate a legend that the Thunder God, Goddess of Lightning, Wind Deity or Rain Man incarnated into a teenager and made a journey to the secular world...

After the baptism of the mini hail, a verdant tree leaf fell down the tree when Zhang Tie passed by it. Soon after it arrived in front of Zhang Tie, it had stayed still in the air after Zhang Tie’s glance. Closely after that, all the moisture of the tree leaf was gradually separated as the verdant tree leaf immediately turned withered and yellow.

Zhang Tie stretched out a finger and had a big drop of water that was separated from the tree leaf stand on his finger in the shape of a tiny humanoid water drop and run on his palm. After losing Zhang Tie’s control, the dried tree leaf fell onto the ground like a piece of weathered wood. The moment it touched the ground, it had broken into pieces although being pretty light.

As another whim occurred to Zhang Tie’s mind, the tiny humanoid water drop jumped up from his palm and bowed towards him in the air. After that, it turned into snowflakes and floated down...

When in the level of earth knight, Zhang Tie could control metals as the divine dominator. After promoting to a shadow knight, Zhang Tie could control water as the divine dominator. As water was ubiquitous and variable, Zhang Tie, as a divine dominator, was granted with endless changes and means and entered a wholly new realm.

Zhang Tie burst out into laughter.

Heller and the other people were waiting on the top of the Immortal Mountain.

“Congratulations, Castle Lord, you’ve promoted to a shadow knight!” Heller hailed Zhang Tie. Closely after that, he warned Zhang Tie, “But Castle Lord, your promotion aroused a pretty great shock this time. Besides arousing a tide of elements that spread over the entire Elements Realm, the virtual image of King Roc rushed out of Castle of Black Iron. I’m afraid that the outside world has been in a heated discussion about that. Everybody knows that someone has promoted to a shadow knight while cultivating King Roc Sutra . Hopefully, Castle Lord could make preparations for that...”

Zhang Tie became shortly stunned, ‘Wasn’t I dreaming? All I saw just now was real...’

When Zhang Tie promoted to an earth knight, he didn’t know that his promotion could arouse a tide of elements until later. This time, he had not imagined that his promotion to a shadow knight could arouse a greater shock.

However, Zhang Tie soon recovered his composure as he nodded calmly, “Hmm, I see...”

‘To date, unless I expose it myself, nobody around the world would know that it’s me who cultivates King Roc Sutra . There’re so many knights in the world, as to who has just made it, let them guess...’

In the following 2 days, Zhang Tie was adapting to the changes in his abilities and strength brought by his promotion.

In the same period, the training ground in Castle of Black Iron was always full of thunders, which could be heard across the space...

...

Two days later, Zhang Tie exited Castle of Black Iron and appeared in the same mountain cave where he stayed shortly in the wild mountainous area of Ningzhou Province a few days ago...

That bloody huge boa who was in hibernation a few days ago had long escaped away even though it was snowing outside.

After leaving the mountain cave, Zhang Tie remained as same as that a few days ago, exposing no qi of shadow knight at all. He was still an earth knight given his qi. Even Zuoqiu Mingyue couldn’t figure out any loophole.

After throwing a glance at the gloomy weather, Zhang Tie flew off towards Weishui River.

Only after 2 hour later, Zhang Tie had seen Xuanyuan Fortress and the main camp of demons in front of him. Weishui River was still frozen while the armies of both humans and demons on both banks of Weishui River were driven restless. It seemed that the large-scale battle was going to break out soon.

Zhang Tie didn’t flew towards Xuanyuan Fortress; instead, he moved towards the battlefield of knights between Xuanyuan Fortress and the central demon battlefortress.

Closely after that, Zhang Tie’s stentorian voice reverberated around the entire battlefield.

“Zhang Tie from Taixia Country is here. Does any demon knight dare fight me fairly...”

Zhang Tie repeated it 3 times, shocking the entire Xuanyuan Fortress and the main camp of demons immediately...
