Chapter 1423 – Sovereign of the Vanquished Nation

Chapter 1423 – Sovereign of the Vanquished Nation

Zhou Saint and Lin Saint were powerful True Saints from the shore after all. Zhou Saint was also a mysterious and unpredictable Ghost Path user.

Based on their cultivation ranks, Qin Yu was confident that he could kill them. However, he was not sure whether he would be able to protect all the Peach Garden disciples during their battle. If the only requirement was to kill the two Saints, Qin Yu would have done so long ago.

Qin Yu waited until Zhou Saint and Lin Saint escaped and left the Peach Garden. He waited till they reached a place where they could be seen by many eyes.

Through the Vanquished Nation Gate, the two Saints had fulfilled both conditions. Qin Yu did not need to hold back any longer!

Actually, he could not wait any longer. He had taken a slight glance before and he found the bad state that Peachy was in. He needed to kill the two Saints quickly and rush back to the Peach Garden to help stabilize Peachy’s condition.

This was why Qin Yu did not hesitate to attack. He unleashed his most powerful blow.

Jades symbolized royalty and this was why the attack was called Royal Attack. The word ‘Royal’ was the essence of the attack.

Since Qin Yu was going to use the killing of these Saints as an example, he wanted to use the most extravagant and effective way to kill them. There was no way out for them.

Displaying such strength would show everyone else how easy it was for him to kill True Saints. This would serve as a threat for others and also guarantee the Peach Garden’s safety in the future.

A deep red color dyed the plain-looking sky of the Vanquished Nation. Like a volcano that had erupted with a lot of magma, the redness spread far out. In the blink of an eye, it ‘lit’ up the entire sky and burned it.

Boom boom boom –

The terrifying explosions shook hearts and numerous meteors crashed down from the burning sky and smashed heavily onto the ground. Their targets were the two Saints who stood rooted to their spots. Their bodies continued to shake from fear.

“Ah!” Zhou Saint cried. His skeletal body sounded like rocks rubbing against each other and he was about to go mad from fear.

At that moment, he felt the threat of death. It was so close to him that he could smell the scent of his own demise. As a Ghost Path user, this smell was not a stranger to him and his soul instinctively trembled.

He could not wait and he had to do something. Otherwise, he would really die today!

Kaboom!

Black flames spewed upwards and a massive skeletal giant appeared. Its arms were wrapped around him, protecting Zhou Saint within it. However, this was not enough. The giant cried painfully. ‘Crack’, a hole formed in his temple.

Like a gate that had been opened, this wound allowed many souls to fly out from his temple. Pitiful screams pierced the air. With a ‘bang’, the souls shattered and dispersed, turning into a rich red-colored light that covered the giant’s body. This light was continuously sucked into the giant.

The mass of souls were uncountable and the red light that was formed from them looked like a bloody river.

“Lin Saint!” A cry came from deep within the red light.

Shoosh!

Lin Saint’s body flashed and he dashed into the red light. The light automatically dispersed and formed a path for him to head into the giant’s body.

Without hesitation, Lin Saint raised his hands towards the sky and shouted, “This place is restricted to all other living creatures!”

Buzz!

The rules of the heavens and earth vibrated and invisible distorted waves suddenly appeared and covered all of the Vanquished Nation.

It felt like he was the god of the heavens and earth in this place. His words turned into its will.

Lin Saint pointed another finger out, “No fire shall burn here!”

A third finger, “This place…sucks in all dead souls!”

Rules of the heavens and earth shook violently. In the burning sky, meteors continued to smash down with sharp sounds. This directly violated the first rule.

The speed by which the meteors rained down suddenly dropped sharply and it seemed like they were being stopped by an invisible force. This lasted only a second before the meteors were forcefully broken apart.

Lin Saint grunted and blood seeped out of the corners of his mouth. As the meteors crumbled apart, the second rule was activated. The flames suddenly dimmed and their destructive aura was reduced.

The giant roared as it placed both hands above its head. With booming sounds, deafening lightning and thunder ripped out of its palms.

In the distance, the sky turned pitch black and sinister clouds spread rapidly, carrying an atmosphere of despair.

This darkness seemed to be hiding the controller of the souls. Their controller was the Sovereign of the Vanquished Nation and he was a being that could not be contested.

A flash of relief passed through Lin Saint’s eyes. This was precisely what he wanted. That was why he changed his last rule at the final moment. He wanted to lure disaster over and use the power of the dead to stop Qin Yu.

What happened actually exceeded his expectations and a Sovereign of the Vanquished Nation had arrived. It was the most powerful existence in the world of the dead.

Of course, this did not eliminate the possibility that this scheming, cold Sovereign of the Vanquished Nation had targeted this place from the start. It was possible that he had been hiding in the dark and waiting for the right opportunity to attack.

After all, devouring the physical body of a powerful cultivator and absorbing their soul was the dream of Sovereigns of the Vanquished Nation. Taking advantage of others was also one of the characteristics of these scheming creatures.

None of this was important. Regardless of the intentions of the Sovereign of the Vanquished Nation, the most powerful cultivator, Qin Yu, would be its priority. The Rule System Body’s aura was an irresistible lure for the dead.

Blood red eyes appeared in the darkness. These big eyes that looked like lanterns carried an intense pressure and they could not hide the greed in them.

It had not encountered such fresh, high quality flesh before. However, right before the Sovereign of the Vanquished Nation stepped out of the darkness, Qin Yu suddenly glared at it.

A deadly cold aura instantly rushed through its heart.

The Sovereign of the Vanquished Nation did not know what skills Qin Yu used. No matter how powerful a cultivator’s aura was, it did not affect the Sovereign of the Vanquished Nation.

However, it felt a very thick threat right now and it made the Sovereign of the Vanquished Nation feel like it could die at any moment.

These anxious thoughts quickly disappeared and its large eyes stared hard at Qin Yu as though it was trying to make a note of Qin Yu’s appearance in his mind.

Not long later, the darkness dissipated. It left faster than it came and it was gone like the wind.

Lin Saint’s eyes widened and his heart palpitated furiously. He almost spat out blood from his disbelief.

It ran…

A Sovereign of the Vanquished Nation, a being as powerful as a True Saint in the Vanquished Nation, had been scared away. All it took from Qin Yu was to give it a look.

A chill poured out from his heart and his face turned pale instantly. By now, Lin Saint was certain that making an enemy out of the Peach Garden was his mistake from the start.

The ninth disciple of the Peach Garden was scary…he was more frightening than anything anyone could imagine!
