Chapter 1047: Qingfeng Li’s Crisis
Wuxie Shi’s face turned surly. The Conqueror had shocked the entirety of Huaxia years ago with his peerless talent, and now came along Qingfeng Li, with talents no less than the Conqueror.
Ring-ring…
Wuxie Shi suddenly shook the black bell in his hand, sending out a blast of spiritual energy which formed black spiritual ripples. He wanted to kill Qingfeng Li with his spiritual power after his corpse golem was incinerated.
But, Wuxie Shi underestimated Qingfeng Li. Qingfeng Li’s spiritual strength was even more powerful than his sword techniques because of the Fire Dragon residing in his mind.
Wuxie Shi was doomed to pay the price for his behavior; soon, he would know how ignorant he was.
Wuxie Shi controlled the bell, focusing the black spiritual energy onto Qingfeng’s mind, wanting to invade and control him.
But at the next moment, the black spiritual energy was completely engulfed by the Fire Dragon, which had suddenly appeared in Qingfeng Li’s mind.
“Brat, you defeated my spiritual attack?!” Wuxie Shi was surprised.
He felt that his spiritual attacks were actually devoured by Qingfeng Li. He wondered who the hell this Qingfeng Li was, with an unbeatable fist technique, a terrifying sword technique, and now this absurd spiritual strength.
“Sky Corpse Finger,” Wuxie Shi smirked, channeling the corpse energy inside his body into a stream of black light and shot it at Qingfeng.
The Sky Corpse Finger was a cultivation technique of the advanced heavenly spirit level, and it could puncture a hole through the human body with one finger. Wuxie Shi supposed that with one shot, he could create a bloody hole through Qingfeng’s body.
“Second Finger – Shattering Heart,” Qingfeng Li directly performed the second technique of the Conqueror’s Finger, condensing the vital essence into his right middle finger, and shooting out a beam of blue light. The blue light was extremely fast, splitting the light of the Sky Corpse Finger and entering Wuxie Shi’s heart.
Crack!
Wuxie Shi’s heart shattered into numerous pieces. With black blood spraying out of his mouth, he took his last resentful glance over Qingfeng Li, and fell down.
Wuxie Shi, the Guardian of Sky Corpse Sect, was dead.
“Brother Qingfeng is becoming more and more powerful! He even kill Wuxie Shied,” a touch of delight shined through Flower Fairy’s pretty eyes. She certainly knew how powerful Wuxie Shi was. But still, he was easily killed by Qingfeng Li.
Seeing Wuxie Shi dead, Ying Gu, who was in the back, became a little concerned. He never thought that Qingfeng Li could defeat someone beyond his cultivation level; he was truly a monster.
Shoo!
Ying Gu took out four small flags. These four flags were awfully wicked, with their flagpoles refined from human bones, and banners sewn from human skin.
Ying Gu threw these four flags, surrounding Qingfeng Li and forming a heavenly level formation called the ‘White Bone Heavenly Spirit Array’, trapping him inside.
Heavenly level array formations were second only to king level array formations, and this White Bone Heavenly Spirit Array was one of the top three powerful formations in the heavenly level. Once trapped inside, the flesh and bones of self-cultivators would all be absorbed by it.
Qingfeng Li felt like he was falling into a swamp in this White Bone Heavenly Spirit Array, and it became very difficult for him to move.
Qingfeng Li seemed to feel a small crack on his skin. It was very tiny, like a needle tip, but a bit of his vital essence was sucked out by the array formation.
Although it was a small wound, Qingfeng Li was very shocked. The Mortal Purgatory Body he practiced was an immortal level practice of self-cultivation, at the end of which he would get an Immortal’s body. But now, his body had been penetrated with a small hole.
“Kid, you’re only in the early-stage of the heavenly realm and have only completed the third level of Mortal Purgatory Body. That’s why you were hurt now. The White Bone Heavenly Spirit Array will not harm you one bit after you complete the fourth level.” The voice of Dark Night Emperor echoed in Qingfeng Li’s mind.
Hearing the words from Dark Night Emperor, Qingfeng Li nodded. He knew it was himself that was weak, not the Mortal Purgatory Body.
Qingfeng Li drew out the Red Fiery Sword and prepared to break the array formation as Dark Night Emperor kept talking to him telepathically, “You can’t break this array formation by force. It’s the junction of two dimensions here with many space fragments, so it’s really unstable. If you break the formation by force, it will cause a powerful energy fluctuation, leading to an explosion in this unstable space and killing everyone here.”
Qingfeng Li was startled by these words and no longer dared to attack the array formation.
Under the guidance of Dark Night Emperor, Qingfeng Li started to look for the array point of this formation, which was in the center.
But before Qingfeng Li could find the array point, something happened outside the formation. Seeing Qingfeng Li trapped, Wind-Edge Demon King rushed to Ying Gu and tried to save Qingfeng Li.
But Wind-Edge Demon King was only a master in the peak of Earthly Spirit realm, while Ying Gu was in the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Ying Gu knocked over Wind-Edge Demon King with one hit and strangled his neck with his right hand, prepared to kill him.
Seeing his Master in danger, Qingfeng was shocked. He wanted to rush out and save his Master but was not able to do so when trapped in this array formation.
“Fighting is prohibited here,” an old voice suddenly came from the sky.
The Dimension Guardian walked out from the space plane. This Dimension Guardian was extraordinarily powerful. He waved his right hand which conjured a white halo, surrounding everyone inside. Instantly, all of them couldn’t move one bit.
“Senior, please kill Ying Gu and save my Master,” Qingfeng Li talked to Dimension Guardian anxiously.
Dimension Guardian shook his head, “I’m only responsible for the safety of dimension planes. I don’t kill.”
Qingfeng Li turned depressed. He didn’t expect the Dimension Guardian to directly refuse him.
The Dimension Guardian suddenly remembered something. He quickly took out the Cosmic Mirror, which he had gotten from another planet, just to observe Qingfeng Li’s future.
Dimension Guardian activated the Cosmic Mirror, shooting out a white light onto Qingfeng’s body, reversing space and time.
With this Cosmic Mirror, Dimension Guardian could see the state of affairs 500 years before and after, allowing him to take a glimpse of Qingfeng Li’s future.
In the river of time, he saw Qingfeng Li sitting on a dragon carriage, with nine dragons in front.
Pooch!
After only one sight, the carriage and the nine dragons disappeared, and the river of time turned back to chaos. The Dimension Guadian spat out a mouthful of blood and was badly injured.
The Nine Dragon Carriage, that was the scene of the Sky Emperor cruising inside a carriage pulled by nine dragons. The Dimension Guardian was deeply amazed.
This Qingfeng Li would one day become…the Celestial Emperor?
With this possibility, the Dimension Guardian was completely shocked, even more shocked than if he were to find his wife cheating on him.
Chapter 1048: Dimensional Demonic Monkey
Time passed as the scene of the Nine Dragon Carriage only lasted a few seconds, and it disappeared into the chaos.
However, the Dimension Guardian would never forget what he had just saw for the rest of his life.
“Qingfeng, what did you just tell me to do?” the Dimension Guardian asked as he suppressed the terror inside.
Qingfeng smiled, “I want you to kill Ying Gu, and rescue my master.”
“Okay, I’ll help you kill Ying Gu,” the Dimension Guardian nodded without hesitation.
“Y-y-yo-you, you can’t kill me, you’re the Dimension Guardian! If you kill me, you’ll be punished by the Heavenly Dao,” Ying Gu stuttered as his expression turned pale.
“Even if god punishes me, I’ll still kill you because Qingfeng has endless future potential. He might even become an Emperor.” The Dimension Guardian smiled as his eyes grew cold and murderous
Ying Gu wanted to flee, but under the Dimension Guardian’s oppressive technique, he couldn’t even move a finger.
Bang!
The Dimension Guardian’s right hand formed a massive palm that covered the entire sky. He squashed Ying Gu into paste with just one slap.
Qingfeng breathed in a breath of cold air; this Dimension Guardian was too powerful. He could squash a peak-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm master to death, so he had to be at least in the Spirit King Realm or higher.
Boom!
Not long after the Dimension Guardian killed Ying Gu, lightning boomed across the sky faster than the speed of light. It struck towards the Dimension Guardian and toasted his body. All of a sudden, he seemed to have grown ten years older, and lost an incredible amount of his power. He immediately degraded into the peak-stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
Everyone who witnessed this was in complete disbelief.
The Conqueror had a complex expression, he said, “Little Feng, you owe the Dimension Guardian one. He killed Ying Gu for you, and was now punished by the Heavenly Dao for it.”
Qingfeng’s expressions changed when he heard the Conqueror’s words. He walked over to the Dimension Guardian, bowed, and thanked him, “Thank you for helping me, if you ever need help, know that I’ll do anything.”
The Dimension Guardian smiled bitterly and said, “Go find your father, my body is deeply wounded. I can’t help you anymore.”
Qingfeng bowed again after he heard Dimension Guardian’s words, and then he headed towards the array his father was trapped in.
From his father’s words, Qingfeng knew that it was a king level dimensional array, which was very dangerous as it was situated in an intersection between two dimensions.
Qingfeng carefully stepped inside the dimensional array. As soon as he entered, he felt a great turbulence from the space, as if his body was being torn apart.
Luckily, he was trained in the Mortal Purgatory Body technique, a self-cultivation technique that was able to suppress the powers of hell. His body became extremely powerful, such that it was able to fend off the turbulence inside the dimension.
Ten metres in, a fierce claw suddenly appeared from behind him and swiped at his back.
Qingfeng used Dragon Steps right away, and by forcing strength into the tip of his left foot, he turned 180 degrees, barely escaping the attack of the claw.
The claw had disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared, as Qingfeng didn’t see anything other than the turbulent wind caused by the attack.
“Beware, that was a dimensional demonic beast. Uts body hides within the space,” Dark Night Emperor said from afar.
Qingfeng’s expression grew grim. He had never seen a dimensional demonic beast, but he knew how powerful they were. These demonic beasts were always mysteriously hidden, and unless you had knowledge of dimensional arrays, it would be impossible to see it.
Swoosh!
The sharp black claws appeared again, this time at Qingfeng’s right feet. Before Qingfeng could react, his right shoe was pulled into a massive hole.
Although Qingfeng had thick skin, the sharp claw still left five clear claw marks on his foot.
Shock filled his eyes. This dimensional demonic beast was far too fast, leaving him with no chance to react. It was also hidden in space, being impossible to spot.
Then, the voice of Dark Night Emperor rang in Qingfeng’s head, “Little brat, let me teach you some array knowledge. The space is virtual, dynamic, and can be felt with spiritual energy. Like the oxygen in air, it can’t be seen with human eyes, but still can be felt.”
Dark Night Emperor passed dimensional knowledge onto Qingfeng, and because of Qingfeng’s great understanding and learning abilities; it wasn’t long until he understood all there was to know about dimensions.
Qingfeng released his dimensional spiritual energy, and saw there was a black demonic monkey on the left of his dimension. This black demonic Monkey was as tall as a human, and was different from average monkeys as it was covered with pitch-black fur and had furious eyes.
This was no average demonic beast, but a powerful existence amongst all types of dimensional demonic beasts.
Qingfeng had already noticed this monkey, but it still jauntily thought that Qingfeng was clueless.
This monkey was as if teasing Qingfeng on purpose, as it jumped around in the space.
Swoosh!
The dimensional demonic monkey swung its sharp claws again and grabbed at Qingfeng’s right foot.
However, Qingfeng had already seen through its attack techniques. He lifted his right foot as fast as lightning, and just as the dimensional demonic monkey clawed towards him, he immediately stepped on its claws with his right foot. The monkey screamed in pain.
The monkey’s attack patterns had always been mysterious, but it had now been noticed by Qingfeng. This shocked it immensely.
Qingfeng’s right foot was the Strangle Hell Foot, and with that one step, it had torn off the dimensional demonic monkey’s claws.
The dimensional demonic monkey was especially decisive and vicious. When it saw that its claws had been broken and trapped under Qingfeng’s foot. It took out a blade with its other claw and directly sliced off his trapped hand.
There were warriors who cut off their wrists amongst humans, and amongst demonic beasts, there are beasts that were willing to sliced off its arm. These beasts were usually incredibly terrifying, and were usually the cruellest of the beasts.
A ray of furious light flashed through the dimensional demonic monkey’s eyes. It only had a claw with a blade, but it still charged towards Qingfeng’s heart. It had to pierce through this human’s heart, and kill this despicable human.
Qingfeng has already acquired dimensional knowledge, he saw the monkey’s blade, and with a snap of two fingers, it got ahold of the blade. With a “ka” sound, the blade broke into half and fell to the ground.
After Qingfeng broke the blade with his right hand, he pulled on the dimensional demonic monkey’s claw and threw it into another space.
“Let me go,” the dimensional demonic monkey pleaded.
Snap!
Qingfeng sneered, immediately snapping its neck and killing it.
He never succumbed to threats, not to mention if it was merely a dimensional demonic monkey.
Chapter 1049: Rescued His Father
“You’re so powerful Big Brother Li. You’ve managed to kill the dimensional demonic monkey,” Flower Fairy’s attractive face glowed with joy as her beautiful eyes shimmered in admiration.
Flower Fairy might have awakened the Lotus Seal inside and possessed great power, but she didn’t understand the underlying dimensional laws. If she were to enter the king level dimensional array, she would be no match for the monkey.
Xianzhi Qin nodded as well. To them, Qingfeng was too powerful and mysterious, and he had many secrets, each with its own surprises.
Not only did it surprise Flower Fairy and Xianzhi, the Conqueror was shocked as well. He didn’t think that his own son could be so powerful, and would be able to kill the dimensional demonic monkey.
After Qingfeng killed the beast, he headed forward.
Not long after, he frowned as he noticed another dimensional demonic beast behind him. It was a dimensional crocodile with a massive body of about ten metres long. It had black scales all over, and a long skinny tail covered in thorns.
The dimensional crocodile was more powerful than the dimensional demonic monkey, as it was already in the medium stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
Clang!
Qingfeng pulled out the Red Fiery Sword and, releasing its sword energy, he drew an arc in the sky and stabbed it behind him. The dimensional crocodile had just left the dimension, and was preparing to attack Qingfeng when its body was penetrated by the long sword.
Splash!
The Red Fiery Sword pierced through the dimensional crocodile’s heart, and tore a big hole into it.
The crocodile had died before it even launched its attack. It was too excited to kill Qingfeng that it was not careful and ran straight into the sword.
Yes, that’s right, suicide. This dimensional crocodile had crashed into the Red Fiery Sword by itself.
Those around were shocked, as this dimensional crocodile died too tragically.
The other demonic beasts hiding in the space around them that had witnessed this scene did not dare to attack Qingfeng anymore because they realized that this young man definitely understood the dimensional laws.
Without the blockades of dimensional demonic beasts, Qingfeng successfully arrived beside his father. Despite his father’s immense power, the top of his head was constrained by the golden talismen, and he couldn’t move at all.
Qingfeng thought of the Monkey King when he saw the golden talismen. The Monkey King was trapped underneath the Five-Fingered Mountain with the same golden talisman imprisoning him.
Of course, his father was no Monkey King, and the Gautama Buddha didn’t place the talisman there. It should have been a very powerful saint instead.
The saint may have been powerful, but Qingfeng was a chosen person, allowing him to have no fear of the talisman.
Qingfeng arrived before the saint’s talisman, reached underneath with his right hand and tore it off.
Splash!
The saint’s slip resisted, but with the great powers of Qingfeng’s bloodline, it was torn off instantly. Because Qingfeng had both the drop of Dragon blood and the Devourer bloodline inside of him, two of the top hundred most powerful bloodlines between Heaven and Earth, he was able to easily tear off the piece of paper.
Just as the talisman was torn off, the king level dimensional array disappeared along with it.
Boom!
The Conqueror’s body unleashed a massive force that crashed through the clouds and shook the space.
Fifteen years ago, the Conqueror was already a supreme Huaxia power, a great grandmaster realm power that conquered Huaxia.
He had continued to train in the self-cultivation techniques of the Celestial Conqueror Sect in the fifteen years he was trapped underneath the Sky Breaking Cliff in the forbidden district of the Kunlun Mountains.
The Celestial Conqueror Sect was once a super-class sect force on Earth. It had once conquered the courts of heaven, and had taught its students to become saints and Celestial Emperors amongst them.
The Conqueror’s master was the Celestial Conqueror Sage; he trained in the “Sky-Conqueror Scroll” and had already reached the Spirit King realm. However, due to the saint’s seal, his strength was never fully recovered.
“Father, I’ve finally rescued you!” Qingfeng said to the Conqueror with excitement.
Qingfeng hadn’t seen the Conqueror in quite a while, but they were connected by blood, and blood was clearly thicker than water, filled with deep sentiments.
The Conqueror nodded and patted Qingfeng’s back with his right hand. His eyes were filled with gratitude and pride to see his son so powerful.
The Conqueror might have been one of the most talented disciples at the Celestial Conqueror Sect, but as a father, he wanted more than anything for his own son to be more powerful than him.
Just then Dimension Guardian said, “Conqueror, you can’t stay on Earth, you have to leave immediately or the Sky Barren Saint that trapped you will come after you.”
The Conqueror nodded in acknowledgement. He clearly knew the incredible powers of the Sky Barren Saint.
“Father, you’re leaving?”Qingfeng said with confusion.
Qingfeng had just rescued his father, and wanted to bring his father back to Huaxia for his and Xue Lin’s wedding, but his father needed to leave immediately.
The Conqueror looked at Qingfeng, and said, “First I’ve to avoid the saint, if I stay it would only bring you trouble. Second, I have to go find your mother.”
Mother?
Qingfeng’s face blanked, he only remembered that his mother had left Huaxia when he was young, and they never met again.
“Father, where did mother go?” Qingfeng asked, he clearly still had deep sentiments for his mother.
The Conqueror looked at the void in the distance, and said softly, “She is in the Grand World of Phoenix, I have to find her.”
Grand World of Phoenix?
Qingfeng was deeply confused, as he had never heard of this grand world.
“There are hundreds of millions of stars in the universe, and they represent one hundred million planets. There are three thousand grand worlds, ten thousand medium worlds, and one hundred thousand small worlds. Each world is composed of countless planets, and even one small world can have a thousand dimensions.”
“One thousand dimensions represents a thousand planets. The dimensions sorted from low to high are: low-tier dimensions, intermediate dimensions, and superior dimensions. Low-tier dimensions have ten planets, and Earth is one of the ten planets within a low-tier dimension.”
“Three thousand grand worlds belong to the most powerful three thousand stars within the hundred million stars. They have eternal life and cannot be eradicated. From the chaotic birth of the universe, these three thousand stars have existed. It represents the three thousand grand Daos, each with a training path that can turn practitioners into saints or immortals.”
“Your mother was the Ancient Phoenix Tribe’s saintess, the second phoenix that surfaced since the birth of the Heavens and Earth. Your grandmother was the first phoenix of the Heavens and Earth, and she has kidnapped your mother to force her to marry the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Tribe. I have to go save her.”
The Conqueror told Qingfeng about his mother and her location as he looked out into the void of the universe.
Qingfeng’s expressions changed as he heard the Conqueror, and his eyes were filled with shock. He had no clue that his mother would be the second phoenix of the Ancient Phoenix Tribe.
Chapter 1050: The Conqueror Leaves
Qingfeng was not only shocked to hear that his mother was the second phoenix of the Ancient Phoenix Tribe, but also about how small Earth was.
In Qingfeng’s mind, Earth was massively powerful. How did it turn into the weakest amongst low-tier dimensions?
The Conqueror seemed to have noticed Qingfeng’s thoughts and said, “Earth used to be very powerful in ancient times, as it was the one of the three thousand most powerful stars amongst the millions of stars. However, many of the other three thousand stars cooperated together, all lusting for Earth’s treasures. Ultimately, they attacked Earth, destroyed the heavenly courts of Earth, and killed many immortals and saints on the planet. That’s why Earth is so weak now.”
Everyone became sad when they heard the Conqueror’s story. They were excited by Earth’s glorious past, but sad when they heard of Earth’s desolation.
“Little Feng, I have to go now. I’ll wait for you out in the three thousand grand worlds,” said the Conqueror with a smile.
The Conqueror arrived at the intersection between spaces, and he stepped forwards with his right foot, being immediately transported to the Northern Barren Planet.
If one wanted to enter the three thousand grand worlds from an inferior dimension, one must go from one dimension to the next one in order. They must reach intermediate dimension, then into superior dimension, then into small world, medium world, and finally the grand world.
Qingfeng felt melancholic as he watched his father leave. He just saw his father, and before they even had time to share a meal, his father had already left Earth.
“Father, mother, wait for me. One day I’ll enter into the three thousand grand worlds, and make my name known across every star in the universe,” Qingfeng said as he looked into the dimensional intersection.
That was Qingfeng’s promise to his parents.
“Qingfeng you must leave now, the saint that trapped your father is nearly here,” said the Dimensional Guardian with a grim expression.
Qingfeng, himself, had felt the approach of a massive power in the universe.
He had very diligent senses; he felt the threat within the depth of the dimension. Even though it was fairly insignificant, it was still enough to raise the hairs all over him.
He didn’t dare to waste anytime, so he immediately gathered Wind-Edge Demon King, Flower Fairy, and the others to evacuate from the bottom of the Sky Breaking Cliff.
Not long after Qingfeng and the others had left, a massive eyeball projection appeared in the dimensional intersection.
This eyeball was massive, at least three hundred metres in diameter. Countless planets could be seen moving inside the depth of the eyeball, and in the time it turned around, it was complete chaos.
The saint morphed this eyeball; it represented the saint’s will, along with the will of the planet, condensed with horrific energy.
Under the powerful presence, the Dimension Guardian kneeled to the ground; his body trembled, as if his body and soul could collapse anytime.
“Oh glorious Sky Barren Saint,” the Dimension Guardian said with utmost respect, but with terror in his eyes.
He knew that the Sky Barren Saint was almighty, as he could kill him with one look.
The Sky Barren Saint’s eyes looked at the Dimension Guardian coldly and, without any emotion, it said, “How did the Celestial Conqueror Sect’s disciple, Conqueror escape?”
The Dimension Guardian’s face froze as he immediately said, “He broke the seal himself, and fled.”
The deep eye of Sky Barren Saint coldly inspected Dimension Guardian; it said nothing, as it only looked at him coldly for a very long time. Then, the eye disappeared from the dimension intersection.
“He finally left,” the Dimension Guardian said to himself, as he got up and wiped the cold sweat off his head that had already drenched his body and heart. His heart was still beating incessantly.
This Sky Barren Saint was far too powerful, with only a shadow of its eyeball, it terrified the Dimension Guardian without any will to fight back.
Qingfeng along with Wind-Edge Demon King, Flower Fairy and the others left the bottom of Sky-breaking Cliff and climbed up along the cliff walls.
Once they’ve arrived at the top of the cliff, Qingfeng suddenly thought of something, and asked, “Master, where’s the sword king, Wushuang Nie?”
The Wind-edge Demon King paused in confusion and said, “He disappeared at Sky-breaking Cliff after making an appearance.”
Disappeared?
Qingfeng was confused Wushuang Nie was the Sword King, a Earthly Spirit realm peak power! How could he disappear?
Qingfeng searched carefully at the top of Sky-breaking Cliff, when suddenly his eyes froze, and saw that there were strips of clothes not far ahead. Qingfeng clearly remembered it to be the Sword King’s clothes.
From the strips of clothes, Qingfeng felt great amounts of demonic beast energy. He realized that Wushuang Nie didn’t just disappear; a powerful demonic beast might have kidnapped him.
“Black puppy, smell this strip of fabric and lead us to Wushuang Nie,” Qingfeng frowned and said to Black Puppy.
Black Puppy was reluctant, but it still sniffed the strip and tracked the scent in the air while Qingfeng and the others followed closely behind.
Dog noses are exceptionally sensitive; Black Puppy followed the smell and brought the group to the ruins of Kunlun Palace.
Before them was a Palace in complete ruins, with torn apart trees, broken debris, and air that had a massive energy that made people feel depressed.
“Puppy, are you sure Uncle Nie is inside?” Qingfeng frowned as he asked.
Honestly, Qingfeng didn’t want to enter the ruins, because his instincts were telling him about the great dangers residing inside.
Black Puppy nodded, pointing its paws forward, and saying, “I promise Wushuang Nie is inside the ruins.”
Qingfeng had no other options; he waved his hand and said, “Come everyone, let’s go.”
The ruins were massive, and to the naked eye, it seemed endless.
In ancient times, it was a splendid palace called the Kunlun Palace. Despite how glorious it was in the past, it turned into a pile of ruins after a torturous battle.
After a few steps Qingfeng saw a skeleton pinned to the ground by a long spear.
The flesh and blood on the corpse had been sucked clean, but the corpse’s skeleton lied there completely unharmed, glowing like jade with an aura of shimmering light.
This man must have had great power when he was alive as even in death, his corpse still had astounding amounts of energy.
Qingfeng grew heavy with emotions, he even felt sad when he saw this skeleton.
As he continued forward, it wasn’t long until he saw several other white skeletons on the ground.
These skeletons’ blood and flesh were sucked clean as well, but it wasn’t like the first skeleton he saw.
Amongst these skeletons, there was one of about one metre long. Physically, it looked like a seven or eight year old child. The long spear had struck through its heart and pinned it to the ground.
Qingfeng felt overwhelming sorrow as he stood beside these skeletons, and he even heard the indistinctive wailing that came from these white skeletons.
Chapter 1051: Earth’s Tragic Past
The wailing from the skeletons was filled with catastrophe, despair, and helplessness, as if they were telling scenes of a great tragedy.
Qingfeng left these skeletons and continued onwards into the ruins.
Along the way, Qingfeng saw many skeletons lying scattered around the ruins. He could tell from the skeleton’s physical traits that it ranged from elders to middle-aged adults to women to children and so on.
These skeletons were all tragically pinned to the ground by long spears.
Not only did Qingfeng feel grief, even Wind-Edge Demon King, Flower Fairy, and the others beside him feel it too.
They all knew these were all living humans before, and they all were powerful self-cultivators, pinned into the ground with long spears.
After five thousand metres, Qingfeng arrived in front of a ruined palace, with a broken-down sign with ‘Kunlun Palace’ written on it.
Different from all other palaces, this was very big, about two times bigger than the other ones. The surrounding had all collapsed, but there were still nine pillars that stood firm, without any cracks or ruinage.
These nine pillars were all golden; its surface gleaming with gold, and on each pillar, there were lively dragons sculpted into it, as if they were about to tear through the void.
These nine golden pillars contained massive dragon energy and force, and it formed a golden defense barrier that barred all those from the outside from entering.
“This is an Ancient Dragon Array, the Nine Dragon Celestial Array. It blocks all from entering,” Black Puppy’s voice rang from the side.
Qingfeng’s expression changed after he heard Black Puppy. Naturally he had heard of the godly dragon arrays, as the myths claimed that only immortals could set such an array. Why would it be on Earth?
Qingfeng was shocked by the array, but also by Black Puppy’s background. It knew of the ancient immortal’s array, further confirming his suspicion that Black Puppy was indeed not simple.
Qingfeng didn’t react to Black Puppy’s words, as he carefully studied the Dragon Formation instead. He heard a voice inside calling out to him, trying to convince him to go in.
Qingfeng walked towards the inside of array, and as soon as he reached its barrier, his body was repelled by the defensive light array of the formation.
“Little brat, if you want to enter the Godly Dragon Formation, you have to activate the dragon blood inside of you. Drop a bit of blood onto it and ask for its permission.” The Fire Dragon’s crippled voice rang inside Qingfeng’s head with hints of sorrow.
This Fire Dragon was one of the Earth’s last surviving ancient godly dragons. It was severely wounded in the ancient battle, and had hid and kept itself alive inside the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.
Qingfeng did as the Fire Dragon told, activating his dragon blood inside and releasing the Dragon Spell as he bit on his finger. He dropped one drop of blood onto the Godly Dragon Formation.
Swoosh!
A beam of golden light flashed by, and Qingfeng’s body was immediately transported inside the Godly Dragon Array.
Black Puppy also bit its paw when it saw Qingfeng had entered, and it dripped one drop of dog blood onto the array and wanted to enter.
Bang!
At a loud bang sound, the Godly Dragon Array sent out a golden beam and repelled Black Puppy a few hundred metres away. It had no place for Black Puppy, and the puppy stood up with awkward rejection.
Wind-Edge Demon King, Flower Fairy, Xianzhi, and Daoist all cut their fingers, and dripped one drop of blood into the Godly Dragon Formation.
With two beams of golden light, Flower Fairy and Xianzhi were taken into the array, whereas Wind-Edge Demon King and Daoist were rejected out.
Daoist frowned and complained, “Dammit, why do Flower Fairy and Xianzhi get to enter, and I get rejected? This is sexism!”
Although the Daoist felt upset, he knew how powerful the Godly Dragon Formation was. Without its approval, there was no chance to enter.
Daoist shook its head, and appeared disappointed. Since they were rejected, they could only wait outside.
At the same time, Qingfeng was in the middle of the Godly Dragon Array.
From the outside, there were only nine Godly Dragon pillars, but the inside was completely different. It was a massive and extremely extravagant palace with golden bricks, glass tiles, jade floors, and crystal walls.
In the middle of the palace sat a massive Dragon Throne in gold, with lively dragons sculpted on it, each with great pride and power.
Of course, these were all an illusion caused by the array; it displayed all that existed before.
Not long after Qingfeng entered, Flower Fairy and Xianzhi appeared beside him, and caused him quite a shock.
“How did you two enter?” Qingfeng frowned as he asked the two.
Flow Fairy smiled attractively, and said, “We dropped our blood inside and got the Godly Dragon Formation’s approval.”
Qingfeng was shocked to hear this, the formation approved him because he had dragon blood inside of him, but how did the Flower Fairy and Xianzhi get in without dragon blood?
Boom!
A massive image of a galaxy appeared before the trio. There were countless dimensions revolving inside the galaxy as time turned backwards.
If one inspected closely, they would see that there were three thousand grand dimensions inside, one of them was of sky blue colour that looked like Earth. That was Earth back in ancient times.
“This is the image of Earth from thousands of years ago,” Qingfeng said with odd suspicion.
Suddenly, the ancient Earth released a beam of rainbow light, and a massive magical tower was conjured up, with “Heaven-Sealing Tower” written on it.
Not long after the Heaven-Sealing Tower appeared, with the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the centre of Earth. However amongst some of the three thousand most powerful stars, they saw the birth of this Heaven-Sealing Tower.
The Heaven-Sealing Tower was the utmost treasure born out of the chaotic galaxy. It had always been there since the creation of all. The legend had it that whoever acquires the Tower would be able to suppress all, and become the truly invincible Emperor.
The celestial emperors and immortals of one hundred planets attacked Earth with the most powerful disciples of their sects, forcing Earth to give up the Heaven-Sealing Tower. However, the Earth’s Sky Emperor disagreed and a great battle was unleashed.
This massive battle lasted for a thousand years. Although the saints and immortals on Earth were extremely powerful, the opponents won in numbers. With all the power, celestial emperors, immortals, and saints from those hundred stars, they totalled to over several billions.
Those from other dimensions were cruel beyond imagination. They massacred the self-cultivators on Earth, not even sparing the weak, young, elderly, or women.
Qingfeng saw a middle-aged armoured man charge at an eight-year-old girl with a long spear.
The little girl was terrified as she ran, such that even her shoes fell off. Just as the armoured man stabbed at the little girl with the spear, the girl’s grandfather blocked the spear with his own body, sacrificing himself.
Qingfeng’s eyes turned red, as all he could do was helplessly watch what had happened a long time ago, in anger.
Chapter 1052: Qingfeng’s Promise
The little girl screamed ‘Grandpa, grandpa!’ as she witnessed her grandpa’s sacrifice. She sounded incredibly tragic and helpless.
Splash!
The cruel armoured man then pierced the little girl’s heart onto the ground with his long spear, as the little girl hopelessly looked at the sky with tears in her eyes.
“Why, why, why do you want to kill me and grandpa?” asked the little girl with tears in a shaky voice.
“Because you’re all the descendants of the self-cultivators from Earth,” the armoured man replied with a cold-blooded cruel smile.
“Bastard, you won’t even let an eight year old girl go,” Qingfeng said angrily as tears ran down his face.
These self-cultivators from the other stars were absolute bastards. They massacred all the self-cultivators on Earth, from the elderly, to women and children.
Although these scenes had happened throughout Earth’s long history, Qingfeng trembled as if he experienced this first hand.
Not only did Qingfeng tremble, Flower Fairy and Xianzhi, who were beside him, also shook in anger.
However, this was only the beginning, as more brutality was to come.
One of the black-cloaked self-cultivators raised a newborn into the sky with his spear, and paraded it to the other self-cultivators.
As for the newborn’s mother, she was already brutally murdered by the evil self-cultivator from the other dimensions.
“These invaders are bastards! They wont even let an one year old baby live,” Qingfeng’s face grew pale, with his fists firm but his whole body trembling in anger.
The self-cultivators that invaded Earth were all supremely powerful. They had killed Earth’s Celestial Emperor, countless saints and immortals, and destroyed the Heavenly Court on Earth.
This great battle was called the Battle of Ruins. Earth was crippled, and the Heavenly Court was toppled and turned into a pile of ruins.
The powerful self-cultivators above the saint level were all killed, and the majority of Earth’s cultivation techniques, powerful spiritual devices, treasures, and immortal fruits were all ransacked.
Earth’s self-cultivation culture was lost, with over 99% of the self-cultivators being killed and only a few survivors being able to hide away in the corners of Earth, never to surface again.
With the lost of the self-cultivation culture and spirit essence on Earth, only low-tier vital essence was left. Without an environment to train in, Earth became a self-cultivator’s hell.
Over time, saints and immortals became the myths passed on between generations. People told it like they were fairy tales, and believed that they only existed in fiction.
From then, Earth had developed their civilization on a “cultivation-less” foundation. With thousands of years of progress, humans invented airplanes, trains, cars, ships, rockets, bombs, phones, computers, and had completely forgotten about Earth’s once glorious past.
Qingfeng, Flower Fairy, and Xianzhi all felt sad when they saw Earth’s past.
They had no clue that Earth had such past. It was once so powerful, but now it was weak and had been laid to ruins.
Earth might have advanced technology, but the Celestial Emperor, immortals, and saints have all became myths.
Qingfeng was furious when he realized that his ancestors had been killed and butchered.
Images of the universe disappeared, and the palace returned to normal. Qingfeng had just witnessed what happened on Earth in ancient times, but everything was so vivid in his memory as if he had personally experienced it.
“The three of you are all chosen ones, so here are three cultivation techniques: “Heavenly Immortal Chant”, “Lotus Immortal Chant”, and “Wind Immortal Chant” for the three of you,” said a weathered but simple voice that sounded in the palace. The source of the voice was nowhere to be seen.
Three energy light globes appeared in the sky, with one going into each of Qingfeng, Flower Fairy, and Xianzhi’s minds.
The three then kneeled down to carefully absorb the techniques. Qingfeng had obtained the powerful Heavenly Immortal Chant, which allowed the practitioner to reach the immortal level. Cultivation techniques were different from spells as the techniques turned the vital essence present within the Heavens and Earth into one’s own, whereas spells channeled vital essence from inside one’s body to attack.
There were ten levels to the Heavenly Immortal Chant, and every level had a training realm that corresponded. The first level was the True Spirit Realm, the second was the Earthly Spirit Realm, the third Heavenly Spirit Realm, and the fourth was the Spirit King Realm.
Qingfeng was at the initial stage of Heavenly Spirit Realm, and the technique that suited him best was the Heavenly Spirit Realm techniques. He found the relevant section in the Heavenly Immortal Chant, remembered it, and began practicing it.
Both of Qingfeng’s hands slightly lifted, forming a hand seal from the Heavenly Spirit Realm and his chest slightly lifted as he began to breath in the vital essence from the Heavens and Earth.
Large amounts of vital essence from the sky and Earth rushed into Qingfeng, and his body devoured it all like a whale swallowing water. It frantically sucked in all the vital essence around the space, allow his strength to quickly increase.
Qingfeng’s spirit nucleus was undergoing dramatic change, the once black core had a scratch before, but after massive amounts of vital essence was sucked in, two scratches appeared as he ascended into the intermediate stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
After Qingfeng had reached the intermediate-stage of Heavenly Spirit Realm, the vital essence in the air continued to enter his body, forming massive amounts of vital essence that cracked a third scar onto his core.
Three scars were the symbol of later stage Heavenly Spirit Realm. Undeniably, the vital essence inside this room was too powerful and dense, as it didn’t take long for him to reach the late stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
“This Heavenly Immortal Chant truly is powerful! No wonder it’s the cultivation technique that could turn practitioners into immortals.” Qingfeng sighed as he stood up.
He felt enormous power inside of his body, of about forty thousand kilos of force; he definitely could kill a late stage Heavenly Spirit Realm demonic beast with one punch now.
Along with Qingfeng, Flower Fairy and Xianzhi had all accomplished their trainings.
Flower Fairy had reached the early stage Heavenly Spirit Realm, and so did Xianzhi.
Flower Fairy trained in the Lotus Immortal Chant, and Xianzhi in the Wind Immortal Chant, these were all extremely powerful techniques that only immortals could acquire.
“Thank you ancestors for the cultivation techniques. What can I help you with?” Qingfeng asked as he bowed in respect.
The weak and elderly voice said, “You are Earth’s self-cultivators, I hope you’ll make a sworn oath that if you ever become a saint or immortal, you must avenge your ancestors, and kill the murderers from those one hundred stars.”
Qingfeng nodded, even if that voice didn’t insist, he was determined to kill them.
“I, Qingfeng, hereby solemnly swear, that if I ever become a saint or immortal, I will head to those hundred stars, and kill all those that have attacked and murdered those on Earth.” Qingfeng bit his tongue after the declaration, dripping one drop of blood into the space and disappearing.
Both Flower Fairy and Xianzhi sworn an oath as well. They were Earth’s self-cultivators, so naturally they had to avenge Earth’s ancestors.
Chapter 1053: Sky Devouring Snake
Qingfeng’s trio had acquired the Kunlun Palace’s secrets, but they all left in a melancholic mood.
They were saddened to see all of the Kunlun Palace in ruins as, after all, they were descendants of Earth.
When Qingfeng reappeared outside of the Palace, Black Puppy ran forward and asked, “What kind of treasures did you find inside?”
Bang!
Qingfeng kicked Black Puppy several meters away, obviously not in the mood for its antics.
Yes, Qingfeng did acquire treasures when he was in the Kunlun Palace, but the thought of the deceased ancestors of Earth made him extremely sad. He had great burden and responsibility, and at Black Puppy’s questions, he could only respond with force.
“Why did you hit me? I only asked a question,” said Black Puppy gloomily.
This time, Qingfeng didn’t hit it, but Flower Fairy did since she was closer to it.
Black Puppy rolled its eyes in pain, Flower Fairy was clearly upset as well, and this Black Puppy blabbed incessantly. It became a stress toy.
Black Puppy was very upset. It used to rule the immortal realm and everyone knew its name, but now that its powers had decreased, it became so easily bullied. Its dog heart became very depressed by such mistreatment.
Qingfeng and the others left the Kunlun Palace ruins and continued to search for Wushuang Nie.
On the other side of the ruins cliff, they found Wushuang. He lied on top of a rock on the lower part of the cliff, unconscious. Qingfeng then rushed forward to save him.
Swoosh!
A fierce sword energy shot through the cliff, its sword energy tore through the surroundings, and ripped open an endlessly deep crack on the ground before Qingfeng.
“This is the Sword Saint Ruins, no one is allowed in,” said a cold voice that rang through the sky.
Sword Saint Ruins?
Qingfeng’s expressions turned surprised, as he saw many of Earth’s once glorious sects and groups inside Kunlun Palace’s mysterious space.
The Sword Saint Sect was once one of Earth’s most powerful sects, and many sword saint powers were part of it. With one slash of their swords, a powerful bolt of sword energy would shoot out a hundred thousand miles.
However, the Sword Saints had died in the ancient battle on Earth, and the sect completely collapsed.
Qingfeng looked around. The ruins he stood on once inhabited the Sword Saint Sect and were not far from the Kunlun Palace, but it was now in scattered pieces.
“I’m here for Uncle Nie,” Qingfeng said as he pointed at the unconscious Wushuang.
The voice in the air paused, and then said, “Wushuang Nie is my chosen disciple, I can’t let you have him.”
Qingfeng froze when he heard the authoritative voice, and his expressions turned to joy.
He initially thought they planned to harm Wushuang Nie, but it turned out that they had their eyes on Wushuang’s talented swordsmanship and wanted him for a disciple.
Qingfeng bowed and said with respect, “Thank you elder for choosing Uncle Nie, I entrust him to you.”
Qingfeng looked at Wushuang Nie once more, and the group left the ruins. He didn’t want to stay there for too long because, for some odd reasons, he felt that here were great hidden dangers.
In fact, Qingfeng’s feelings were correct. There was an almighty demon trapped underneath Kunlun Palace by the Celestial Emperor a few thousands of years ago.
As the Celestial Emperor was killed in battle, the seal that trapped the ancient demon grew weaker day by day. He was already beginning to wake up, and small streams of demonic energy leaked out from beneath the earth, alerting Qingfeng.
If this almighty demon were to break free, it would bring great turbulent chaos to Earth.
“We should leave the forbidden Kunlun district now. My wife Xue Lin is still waiting for me, and so are Ruyan Liu and my baby.” Qingfeng looked at the ruins one last time, and left.
However, only after a few steps, a powerful demonic beast appeared before Qingfeng.
It was a demonic snake again… For some unknown reason, Qingfeng always encounters snake-like demonic beasts.
However, this one was different from others. It was only a metre long, black all over, and its eyes had rays of black light.
Although the snake was only a metre long, Black Puppy’s expressions changed and yelled, “Careful, it’s the Sky-Devouring Snake, it can swallow anything and everything.”
Sky-Devouring Snake?
Qingfeng’s expressions changed as well when he heard Black Puppy. He learned a lot about ancient history through the Heavenly Immortal Chant in the Kunlun Palace, including information on the ancient demonic beasts.
The Sky-Devouring Snake was an ancient demonic beast with great power. The legend claimed that in ancient times, it could even swallow even the sky. Imagine how overpowered this Sky-Devouring Snake must be to be able to do that!
“Ssssh puppy, how are you not dead?” the Sky-Devouring Snake spat out its tongue as it said to Black Puppy.
Clearly, the Sky-Devouring Snake and Black Puppy knew each other.
“Little snake, how can I die when you haven’t died yet,” Black Puppy smiled as it said coldly.
The Sky-Devouring Snake was angered when Black Puppy called him ‘little snake’, it roared, “I’m the Sky-Devouring Snake, with an actual length of one thousand metres, how dare you call me little?”
Black Puppy pouted its lips, and nonchalantly said, “That was before! Now you’re like a disabled grandpa from being beaten up, and are only a metre long. What do you want?”
The Sky-Devouring Snake’s eyes grew cold as it said, “I’ve sensed the devourer bloodline on this human, and I want to eat him.”
The snake wasn’t talking about anyone else but Qingfeng; his blood enticed its thirst.
Black Puppy coldly laughed, “Little snake, I would advise against that, you’re no match for him.”
“Little dog, you used to rule the immortal realm, and there wasn’t anything you couldn’t do. When did you turn into such a coward and become afraid of a human?” The Sky-Devouring Snake despised Black Puppy as it said with disapproval.
Both the Sky-Devouring Snake and Black Puppy were ancient demonic beasts; they experienced the legendary ancient war, and battled alongside saints and immortals. However their powers had been crippled, only managing to barely survive.
Naturally, the snake didn’t believe Black Puppy’s words. It moved like a streak of black lightning, opened its black mouth and charged at Qingfeng.
The Sky-Devouring Snake might have been fast, but Qingfeng was faster. He reached out with two right fingers, pinched the snake’s neck, and made it bite itself.
The Sky-Devouring Snake was shocked to see itself caught by Qingfeng. It didn’t think that this youth would be so fast, and be able to grab its neck so quick.
“Little snake, weren’t you so arrogant? Why are you in a human’s hand right now?” Black Puppy mocked as its head tilted to one side.
Both Black Puppy and the Sky-Devouring Snake were ancient demonic beasts, but they were naturally born enemies who despised each other. Black Puppy was quite happy to see the snake in such a vulnerable state.
