Chapter 597: Heavens Get Murky, Earth Gets Dark

After smiling, the wings behind Zong Shou spread wide and he climbed up once more.

It was extremely similar to that battle! Only, the six of them were much stronger than those six and their leader by several times!

He was originally only planning to take that Universe Book and walk. At this moment, Yuan Wushang and the others provoked him such that his vital energy surged and his fighting spirit rose.

Since they wanted to fight, let’s fight until this place ends up in chaos!

Lightning wings sweeping, sword intent covering a thousand miles... Sword light surging, instantly charging all about...

Platinum Dragon sword! Chill horned Dragon sword! Instant Space Dragon sword! Fire Dragon vast sword! Slash!

The moment the four types of True Dragon Sword intents merged, a giant seven clawed Dragon appeared behind him and roared furiously.

An extremely sharp sword glow covered a million-foot distance.

Pointing to the east but hitting the west, suddenly south, suddenly north, indiscernible and hard to predict. However, it was really domineering!

Since you all treat me as a grinding stone, then why don’t I treat you all like that?

“Good! This is fun!”

Jueyu laughed out, where the black giant sword passed, everything it touched was destroyed. However, it hung on under the Heaven sword light, waiting for this sky full of blade shadows to unveil itself.

Yuan Wushang was in a slightly haggard state, “You are serious? Good that you became serious! Who knew that your sword would actually be even stronger than months ago! However only then would it feel good...”

Li Wuhui, Leidong and Ruotao all didn’t say a word. Under Zong Shou’s sword, they found it tough to hold on, and speaking was extremely difficult.

Shui Lingbo scolded, “All of you are crazy! Zong Shou, you actually followed them and became crazy?”

Although she said these words, she was totally pumped up and her pupils turned red.

She dropped the sword, heading over with her body. A pair of jade hands punched out, each fist causing the Earth to shake, the mountains to tremble and the waves to rage.

Out of the few of them, only she could be on the same level as Zong Shou. Each strike forced Zong Shou to go all out, which was extremely tough and draining.

Before this, she also tried to snatch that universe creation record. But usually, when it was about to enter her hands, Yuan Wushang or Jueyu would turn around with a sword light and force her to retreat.

Similar to Zong Shou she could only look at the Universe Book helplessly.

At this point, she decided not to bother anymore. Zong Shou, this fellow, those words he said just now made her really annoyed!

“...even if all of you Attack together you can’t do anything to me?”

And also these few kids were really annoying. She didn’t bother to obtain the book anymore. Along with Zong Shou, she was going to crush them all!

With such a thought, her aura became even more maniacal. Flames wrapped around her body, like an extremely arrogant Phoenix showing off its stances.

At this moment, off in the distance, Feng Taiji’s face was ashen white.

The moment Ruotao slashed out, he could clearly feel that it was a merging of spirit and martial arts.

The sword intent seemed to break through and enter the Soul Realm!

He also had a feeling that when the senior Brother slashed out, it was like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon.

That was the sword of freedom, in his life, Ruotao wouldn’t be bound and restricted by rules and customs.

He wouldn’t be able to hold this senior Brother hostage anymore using sect rules.

He had obviously slashed away all the locks, flying out from the water into the sky, a dragon that wasn’t restricted anymore.

At the start, he could still console himself. The day Ruotao merged spirit and martial arts was after him and he wouldn’t get close to the 10% merger rate.

However, his face was slowly drained of blood, and there was no color anymore.

As time went on, Ruotao’s soul power and internal energy started to merge. Not only did it start to stabilize, but it slowly climbed up.

In just ten minutes it had risen to just 10%, slightly weaker than him.

The sword intent had also truly entered the soul Realm. Even under Zong Shou’s shine, it didn’t appear much darker. Slowly, it could compete with Yuan Wushang and Jueyu.

Feng Taiji was stunned as he looked upward, his hands holding the sword handle.

He had a never before seen urge rise up in his chest!

He wanted to join in! He wanted to fight for the top along with Senior Brother Ruotao.

But every time he pulled out his sword, he hesitated and then was filled with melancholy.

What did he have to fight with them? His sword technique and martial cultivation were too far away...

Probably, the moment he slashed out, those people would smack him down and he would lose face.

After looking for so long, did he notice any chance for him to interfere, or take advantage of?

With his current strength, he could only be a watching guest...

Leisurely sighing, Feng Taiji decisively released the sword in his hand.

He comprehended that the few fighting intensely now were the true heroes and talents of the Cloud World!

What fortune was it for him to be spoken on the same level as them. He should have felt ashamed.

...not ashamed to be listed with them but ashamed that his strength was far. He really couldn’t accept it.

Thinking about it, his expression slowly turned back to normal.

Blaming himself and feeling sad about it now, what was the point?

Those ambitions, what grand plans he had were all tossed to the side in his mind.

What he wanted to do now was to catch up to these few people!

This was the so-called waking up from shame! In his future, there might be a chance for him to stand on the same level as these few people...

“Senior Master Zifang, the universe creation records have appeared. Didn’t you say it was helpful to us? Why are you standing there and not fighting for it?”

Standing to the side of the seven of them clashing, Jingyin’s eyes developed a weird expression. The sword intent entangled, flames covering the land.

That was the first time she realized that sometimes she was quite bad. Knowing that Zifang was already planning on retreating, she still asked those words.

Who asked that fellow to have bad intentions to try to force words out of her.

Zifang’s expression turned bitter and forced a smile, “I have no affinity with this time, it is better not to want it. Our Buddhist faction doesn’t like to fight. Since they want it, then they can have it.”

She glanced at Jingyin, thinking that this brat was getting out of hand.

With those people there, how could he fight? Not mentioning Zong Shou and Shui Lingbo, just Jueyu and Yuan Wushang were too much for him to handle. He would have to already go all out.

Fight? What did he have to be able to fight with them for that?

She knew that he was already a little afraid but still decided to mention it.

Thinking about that, he sighed, “I heard how strong those three overlord experts were; unparalleled, invincible, unrivaled. Looking at Zong Shou, it seems like Xiang King, 10,000 years ago, was around the same. Let’s hope the Buddha blesses us, with these few people here the world wouldn’t be able to find peace...”

Jingyin covered her mouth and laughed. However, suddenly her expression turned serious.

...this Zong Shou was so strong, didn’t that mean that it was really difficult for her to unlock the seed cauldron lock between them?

Finding it slightly tough, Jingyin looked around.

“Speaking of which, where is the corpse of Xiang King? Disciple still hadn’t noticed it!”

Within the entire underground lake, from the start, she didn’t see any traces of the Xiangchu overlord.

The changes Zifang was worried about naturally didn’t occur too.

Jingyin felt slightly uneasy, looking around. Then she turned her gaze back towards the yellow gold high platform. She had a startled expression on her face.

“Ah?” she couldn’t help but exclaim.

It wasn’t that she finally noticed the Xiang King whom she didn’t find any traces of.

But the Avici Throne which had swallowed several Grade Nine cultivators and didn’t move, suddenly, at this moment, appeared to have some movement.

It slowly rose from the high platform, turning into a bright eye before catching golden light and slowly flying towards Zong Shou.

Zifang shifted his eyes as he heard that, looking out towards Zong Shou’s field of sight.

Moments later, he also had a weird expression on his face.

“It is Zong Shou!”

The golden light flew toward where Zong Shou was standing.

Just now he had already deduced it. Avici Throne and Zong Shou’s aura didn’t match.

He was being totally rejected by this top Spiritual Artifact.

At that time he even heaved a sigh of relief because of it.

However, why in this short time was there such an unexpected change?

He remembered that before the Avici Throne disappeared, it once had near-infinite vital energy and Essence energy.

At this moment, it was obviously not at the stage where it was needed. It could last for a few thousand years and it wouldn’t be a problem. It shouldn’t have fallen and been so eager to select a master...

Jingyin’s petite face was filled with shock. Zifang thought about it for a moment, being slightly distracted, “Is it a Spiritual item choosing a master? No wonder no wonder. The first owner of this item was Shilong. The way it did things followed the domineering path. Its second master was Xiang King, whose strength could lift mountains...”

...to think it would bother to choose normal people! Spiritual Artifacts had their own sentience and would choose their own master.

However, at this moment Zong Shou, using one man and one sword, fought intensely. That invincible aura was like Xiang King in the past!

The more his aura charged toward the clouds, the more his strength pressured all of them, the more that Avici Throne would recognize him...

Jingyin was enlightened but he also felt extremely terrified. She could already understand the meaning of Zifang’s words.

It wasn’t even at the start of the spiritual wave, how did such a person appear in the world?

She kept silent whilst Zhao Yanran in the distance laughed out, “Interesting! Does this Avici Throne really think that Zong Shou could compare to the Xiangchu overlord ten thousand years ago?”

The moment those words were spoken, the surrounding became totally silent.

They were shocked, following which Zhao Yanran scolded, “Such a lazy and immoral kid, how is he similar to the overlord? Aren’t they totally different?”

This fellow couldn’t even be compared to one finger of Xiang King! He couldn’t even be compared to a strand of hair.
