Chapter 1677: Book Return
With just a single palm, Desolate Martial destroyed Patriarch Xu Jing’s Dharmic treasure barehanded!
Nobody expected Desolate Martial, a late-stage Mahayana, to be this strong!
This was the potential of the Creation Green Lotus.
Over the years, after the baptism and refinement of many greater divine powers, the Green Lotus True Body grew rapidly and became stronger!
However, this was not the limit and peak of the Creation Green Lotus!
On the battlefield.
The saber shattered and Su Zimo slapped his palm. Many saber shards turned into dozens of cold lights that entered Patriarch Xu Jing’s body instantly!
The two of them were way too close and Patriarch Xu Jing had not expected Su Zimo to be able to shatter his saber—he could not react in time!
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Blood mists burst forth from Patriarch Xu Jing!
After a brief pause, his body could not withstand the power contained in the shards and exploded!
Patriarch Xu Jing’s Essence Spirit escaped and fled into the distance.
“Humph!”
Su Zimo sneered, “Do you think you can escape?”
Chi!
In a flash, a blazing sword beam descended, slicing Patriarch Xu Jing’s Essence Spirit into two instantly!
Rank 21 on the Divine Power Ranking, Patriarch Xu Jing was dead!
The crowd fell into a momentary silence before a commotion broke out.
The battle had ended too quickly.
It had been less than ten breaths since Su Zimo attacked and Patriarch Xu Jing died.
Right from the beginning, Patriarch Xu Jing merely released a single greater divine power and died without the chance to release a second divine power!
“Is this Desolate Martial who established the Dao for all living beings?”
When he saw that, the Chess Emperor in midair nodded and praised, “To think that even at the Mahayana realm, you’re able to kill experts on the Divine Power Ranking who are above your cultivation realm. You truly live up to your reputation.”
Su Zimo did not linger in that golden region. Instead, he turned to leave and looked at the Patriarchs on the Divine Power Ranking. “Patriarchs of Heavenly Dipper Sect, Malevolent Earth Sect and Penglai Island, you can withdraw from the Divine Power Ranking.”
“On what grounds?!”
Patriarch Xing Tian who was Rank 17 on the Divine Power Ranking frowned.
“On the grounds that I was the one who said it!”
Su Zimo said coldly, “If you don’t withdraw from the ranking on your own accord, you will end up in the same state as Xu Jing!”
“Desolate Martial, it’s understandable that you want to fight for the Divine Power Ranking. However, isn’t that way too domineering?!”
“That’s right!”
Immediately, a Patriarch of Malevolent Earth Sect agreed and turned to the Chess Emperor with cupped fists, shouting, “Enigma Palace has always been fair and impartial in managing the three ranking lists. Senior Chess Emperor, please suppress Desolate Martial!”
The Chess Emperor smiled faintly. “You’re right. Enigma Palace has always been fair and impartial. There’s no way we would interfere in something like this.”
“Desolate Martial is only fighting for a spot on the Divine Power Ranking. He didn’t bully the weak nor did he bully with numbers. Why should I suppress him?”
“But…”
Patriarch Xing Tian wanted to argue.
The Chess Emperor flicked his sleeves gently. “There’s no need to speak further. Even if Desolate Martial wants to remove your names, it’s only right! Anyone can leave their names on the Divine Power Ranking. However, Patriarchs of your three sects are not qualified!”
“When the human race was in trouble, you guys abandoned our race and submitted to the Primordial Six Races in order to survive. How can you still have the cheek to occupy any spot on the Divine Power Ranking?”
Patriarch Xing Tian and the others blushed in shame after being reprimanded by the Chess Emperor.
However, all of them were still hesitant to withdraw from the Divine Power Ranking just like that in front of everyone.
Right then, Su Zimo moved and walked towards them.
The expressions of Patriarch Xing Tian and the others changed as they grit their teeth and turned to flee from the Divine Power Ranking like stray dogs.
However, another Patriarch from Malevolent Earth Sect did not move from the Divine Power Ranking.
Rank 2 on the Divine Power Ranking, Patriarch Qi Huang!
Boom!
Right then, a loud bang sounded from another part of the battlefield, attracting the attention of many cultivators.
Monk Daming and Patriarch Ji Lei had already begun fighting.
Although there were also Patriarchs fighting in the other golden regions, everyone’s gazes were still drawn by Monk Daming.
Everyone was curious about Monk Daming’s background and methods!
To the many Patriarchs, as long as Monk Daming attacked, they would definitely be able to determine his lineage and deduce based on his methods.
However, many Patriarchs were disappointed.
Up till this point of the fight, Monk Daming had never released any secret skills or divine powers.
He suppressed Patriarch Ji Lei completely with his physical body and blood qi. The latter retreated continuously and was completely disadvantaged!
The loud bang earlier on was also because Patriarch Ji Lei released a greater divine power that was shattered by Monk Daming’s palm!
“What’s the background of that person? He’s so strong!”
“He must be from a body tempering super sect. Could it be Glass Palace, Overlord Palace or Diamond Monastery?”
“Impossible! Even the body tempering Dharmic formulations of super sects are not at such a terrifying level to be able to take on divine powers head-on!”
Many Patriarchs discussed for a long time but to no avail.
In midair.
The Chess Emperor frowned slightly and murmured, “Who is that? Even I can’t tell his background. Interesting.”
Lin Xuanji’s eyes flickered. “There’s a high chance that this is the person who infiltrated Enigma Palace and stole the Mystic Firmament Record!”
“Oh?”
The Chess Emperor glanced sideways and said in surprise, “The matter of the Mystic Firmament Record being stolen was true! When I heard the news, I thought that someone was spouting nonsense.”
“Not only that, I suspect that there’s a high chance he’s behind everything in Tianhuang Mainland in recent years!”
Lin Xuanji said, “Although Senior Brother Heavenly Secrets deserved to die, there’s a high chance he was plotted against by this person.”
“So amazing?”
The Chess Emperor was even more surprised.
After pondering for a moment, he said, “How about we wait a while and I’ll find an opportunity to suppress that person and force him to hand over the Mystic Firmament Record?”
“There’s no need for that,”
Lin Xuanji shook his head. “The Mystic Firmament Record was returned around 300 years ago.”
“Because of the loss of the Mystic Firmament Record, the sect’s library was protected even more. Apart from the guards on the surface, there are even two Mahayana Patriarchs guarding the library.”
“And then?”
The Chess Emperor asked.
Lin Xuanji smiled bitterly. “Even with those two Mahayana Patriarchs, nobody knew when exactly the Mystic Firmament Record was returned.”
“What did you say?!”
The Chess Emperor’s heart skipped a beat.
It was no wonder why he was so shocked.
Lin Xuanji’s words meant that this person infiltrated Enigma Palace once more and returned the Mystic Firmament Record under the watch of two Mahayana Patriarchs. However, he did not attract any attention and left silently! ”
“I can understand why this person could steal the Mystic Firmament Record back then,”
Lin Xuanji said, “After all, there were no Patriarchs guarding the library at that time. Furthermore, the attention of the entire Enigma Palace was drawn over by Desolate Martial and the others. This person seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation.”
“At the very least, there were traces left behind when this person stole the book. However, the process of him returning the book was way too terrifying! He was completely unfathomable and left no traces!”
“If not for the routine checks of the disciples of the library that unintentionally discovered the return of the Mystic Firmament Record, nobody in the entire sect, not even the two Mahayana Patriarchs, noticed that someone had been to the library!”
