Chapter 1713: The Earth Turtle Bloodline
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Seeing Qingfeng Li had been forced into the sand until only his head was visible, the Prince of Soil-Border’s eyes revealed excitement and killing intent.
He raised his head and laughed, and pointing his finger at Qingfeng Li, he said, “This is what you get for acting arrogant before me and beating my younger sister. My gravity technique will bury you alive in a moment!”
Behind them, Black Puppy, the Second Prince, Li Yang, Mengyao Xu, and the others all looked at Qingfeng Li with concern since it was the first time they had ever seen him trapped like this.
Fortunately, Qingfeng Li was still alive and his eyes were moving. If they had been in his position, they would already have been buried alive.
The corners of Qingfeng Li’s mouth tilted up while he murmured to himself, “Interesting. I didn’t expect you would have mastered the gravity talisman.”
Qingfeng Li was familiar with talisman scripts, which were a powerful attacking method similar to array formations in some ways.
Talismans were runes written on scripture papers, dictating the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
The talismans could manipulate metal, wood, water, fire, and earth as well as wind, rain, thunder, lightning. Complex ones could even manipulate demonic beasts, plants, animals, ghosts, humans, mountains, rivers, lakes, magma, and the ground.
The talismans with the engravings of natural objects could double one’s attacking force.
In the past, Qingfeng Li had been attacked by talismans but they had all been broken by him. Although he wasn’t a master of talismans, he understood the basic rules behind their attacks.
Looking at the Prince of Soil-Border who was still laughing arrogantly, Qingfeng Li said coolly, “Do you think your gravity talisman is invincible? Today I will break it.”
Activating the Strangle Hell Body, Qingfeng Li’s body began to expand with overwhelming force, and his bulging muscles became twice as large as before.
But the powerful gravity talisman was still suppressing his body, preventing him from freeing himself.
Frowning, Qingfeng Li found he had underestimated the gravity talisman, but he was not worried.
He decided to activate his bloodline strength, which was one of his best cards. With the previous rapid increase of his power, he had rarely been forced to use his bloodline strength.
“Wolf God Bloodline!” Qingfeng Li’s eyes turned crimson like a bloodthirsty wild wolf and his skin and pores had also become bloody-red.
Like giant ocean waves spreading out, a surge of overwhelming strength emitted from his body.
In the air above Qingfeng Li’s head, a shadow of the Wolf God appeared, seemingly having emerged from the River of Time. It looked down at everything with dignity and magnificence.
Kicking lightly at the sand under his feet, Qingfeng Li leaped up and broke through the suppression of the gravity talisman, flying up high in the sky.
Then his right hand reached out abruptly, which formed an ancient Wolf God claw. The powerful claw exploded the air and grabbed the gravity talisman instantly, leaving five cracks on it.
He increased his bloodline strength slightly and the Wolf God Bloodline spread outward, tearing the gravity talisman into five pieces before dropping them on the ground.
The Prince of Soil-Border’s expression changed sharply, and his eyes filled with shock. His gravity talisman was a gift from the Emperor of Soil-Border, who had made the talisman personally; it represented an attack from the Emperor himself.
The Emperor of Soil-Border Country had reached the eighth level of the supreme realm, but his attack had actually been broken by Qingfeng Li’s bloodline strength.
The Prince had clearly sensed the great power of Qingfeng Li’s bloodline strength and his own bloodline trembled at the sight of it. It was absolutely an unrivaled bloodline.
With a slight smile, Qingfeng Li said, “The gravity talisman was just so-so.”
Again, he whipped out his right hand which transformed into an ancient wolf claw carrying the presence of the ancient Wolf God. It crashed toward the Prince of Soil-Border with great force.
The Prince’s expression changed. Hurriedly, he circulated his vital essence and formed a muddy-colored defense shield all over his body.
The defensive shield was condensed from earth-style vital essence. On its surface were engraved earth style runes as powerful and hard as Saturn.
Some of the nearby self-cultivators recognized the earth style shield with astonishment. Someone said in a low voice, “It’s unbelievable that the Prince of Soil-Border actually condensed an earth style shield. It’s incredible.”
Famous in the world of self-cultivators, the earth style shield was one of the most powerful defense forces among the earth style cultivation techniques. It was invincible against most attacks.
Unfortunately, he was met with Qingfeng Li’s ancient Wolf God claw, which could break any common defensive shield.
Boom!
With vicious force, the Wolf God claw collided with the earth style defense shield and shattered the supreme realm level shield condensed from earth style vital essence. The shield turned into wisps of yellow essence and vanished in the air.
With the disappearance of the earth style shield, the Prince of Soil-Border retreated several steps. Pale-faced with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, the Prince was obviously wounded by the Wolf God claw.
He looked at Qingfeng Li, astonished that he had been wounded by this unknown charcter. It was the ultimate humiliation for him.
He said coldly, “Qingfeng Li, do you think you are the only one that possesses a bloodline power? I do, too! Today I will show you the great force of my Earth Turtle Bloodline.”
With a yell, the Prince dropped to the ground like an earth turtle. He chanted an incantation and activated his Earth Turtle Bloodline.
Yellow runes blinked on his body. The golden runes were tadpole-shaped characters that originated from the ancient times. In the air above his head, the River of Time appeared.
In the River of Time appeared the shadow of an earth turtle which was at least a few tens of thousands of feet high. Lying on its belly quietly, the earth turtle had four robust legs as thick as stone columns.
All the top 100 demon beast bloodlines were extremely powerful, and the Earth Turtle Bloodline ranked 99th on the ancient demon beast bloodlines list.
“Qingfeng Li will definitely lose this time. No one can defeat the Earth Turtle Bloodline.”
“Yeah, I was once defeated by the Earth Turtle Bloodline when I sparred with the Prince of Soil-Border. It is extremely powerful.”
“But I think Qingfeng Li is going to win since his bloodline seems stronger to me.”
The nearby self-cultivators were talking among themselves animatedly. Some of them thought the Prince of Soil-Border would win since they had witnessed the great power of the Earth Turtle Bloodline before, while others bet on Qingfeng Li because they had seen the unusual power in the Wolf God Bloodline.
Chapter 1714: Sieging Qingfeng Li
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Upon its appearance, the Earth Turtle Bloodline shattered space and shook the sky and the earth. But in the next moment all the people were stunned by what they saw.
As soon as the Earth Turtle Bloodline saw the Wolf God Bloodline above Qingfeng Li’s head, its expression changed sharply. It turned to run and vanished into the River of Time. Everyone gaped at the sight.
Seeing the Earth Turtle Bloodline flee, all the self-cultivators froze with shock and disbelief. They would not have looked more astonished if the sun had risen from the west.
“Did my eyes play tricks on me? The Earth Turtle Bloodline which ranks 99th on the demon beast bloodline list fled so quickly.”
“No, your eyes are fine. The Earth Turtle was so scared that it looked like it met its master.”
“Is it possible that Qingfeng Li’s bloodline is stronger than the Earth Turtle Bloodline?”
The nearby self-cultivators were all talking animatedly, looking at Qingfeng Li and the Prince of Soil-Border with astonishment in their eyes.
Just a moment ago, most of them were singing praises of the great power of the Prince of Soil-Border and his unrivalled bloodline strength because the 99th bloodline on the ancient demon beast bloodlines list was very powerful and quite rare.
But the Earth Turtle fled as soon as it appeared, frightened like a mouse meeting a cat.
A chilling light flashed in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He wouldn’t let the Earth Turtle run from him since it was his enemy.
Channeling the Wolf God Bloodline in his body, Qingfeng Li emitted a stronger wave of suppression and directed the Wolf God shadow to lunge into the River of Time.
The Wolf God Shadow shattered the void and appeared in the other direction, blocking the Earth Turtle’s escape path instantly.
The expression of the Earth Turtle Bloodline changed sharply. It tried to run, but due to its fat body, it was blocked by the Wolf God easily each time it tried.
A mocking look appeared in the eyes of the Wolf God Bloodline. As an ancient godly beast shadow, it was far more superior to the Earth Turtle Bloodline, which was only a demon beast bloodline.
Godly beasts had a natural suppression on demon beasts and could make the latter submit to them.
Looking at the Earth Turtle Bloodline, killing intent flashed in the Wolf God Bloodline’s eye. It wouldn’t forgive the demon beast bloodline that dared to challenge it.
The Wolf God Bloodline shadow lunged forward and opened its great mouth, catching the Earth Turtle Bloodline and swallowing its strength before turning it into its own bloodline energy.
Puchi!
The Prince of Soil-Border spewed a big mouthful of blood. After his bloodline strength was swallowed, he was wounded physically and mentally. Pale-faced, he retreated continuously, his eyes full of horror.
He found that his luck was terrible today, as he had made Qingfeng Li his enemy. Qingfeng Li was a devil-like terrifying existence whose physical strength, cultivation techniques, and bloodline were all superior to his. He was absolutely no match for Qingfeng Li.
Since it hadn’t come out in a long time, the Wolf God Shadow was still unsatisfied after eating the Earth Turtle Bloodline.
Qingfeng Li summoned the Wolf God Bloodline back into his body, not wanting it to run amuck anymore.
Although he had defeated the Prince of Soil-Border, Qingfeng Li knew there were more powerful super fighters around him.
If he continued to let the Wolf God Bloodline run amuck here and swallow other bloodlines, he would offend many people and they would definitely decide to combine forces against him. It would be more than he could manage.
Qingfeng Li feared no one, but he didn’t want to make trouble for himself. But the Prince of Soil-Border got what he deserved when his bloodline was swallowed since he challenged Qingfeng Li first.
Qingfeng Li didn’t plan to let him go. He took a step forward and left a huge crack in the ground.
A powerful pulling force was released from the depths of the underground. It was the force of Qingfeng Li’s newly mastered Gravity Field force which had been increased by him to 500 times that of normal gravity.
Containing 500 times the force of normal gravity, the Gravity Field sucked the wounded Prince of Soil-Border into the ground until only his head was above the surface, just like how Qingfeng was a moment ago.
Qingfeng Li was walking toward the Prince of Soil-Border to kill him when he was blocked by the Prince of Golden-Arrow.
The Prince of Golden-Arrow was terrified by Qingfeng Li’s power, but he still walked out because he knew he would be the next once Qingfeng Li killed the Prince of Soil-Border.
Not only he, but the Crown Princes from Lingyun, Clear- Wood, and Fiery-Sun as well walked out and blocked Qingfeng Li’s way.
These young men were all future emperors of their respective kingdoms. They were powerful since only the strong ones could become crown princes in the kingdoms of self-cultivators.
A trace of anger appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He was not angry at the crown princes of Golden-Arrow, Clear-Wood, and Fiery-Sun since they were his enemies. His anger was directed at the Prince of Lingyun.
Qingfeng Li was helping the Second Prince find the monarch soul fruit to save the Emperor of Lingyun, but the Crown Prince of Lingyun actually colluded with outsiders against Qingfeng Li.
Before he could speak, the Second Prince ran over with fury all over his face.
He pointed at the Crown Prince of Lingyun and demanded furiously, “Senior Brother, what are you intending by helping the other kingdoms deal with Qingfeng Li?”
The Prince of Lingyun smiled slightly. He said coldly, “Second junior brother, our father said he would pass the crown to whoever can get the monarch soul fruit. Qingfeng Li is too powerful and none of us will have a chance at the fruit if we don’t kill him first.”
Qingfeng Li’s victory over the Prince of Soil-Border had stunned everyone and the Princes of the other kingdoms knew Qingfeng Li was a powerful enemy.
They had planned through mental transmission that they would kill Qingfeng Li before fighting for the monarch soul fruit.
The atmosphere was filled with tension as a battle of life and death was imminent. None of them noticed the eyes watching them up in the sandy mountains near the monarch soul fruit.
There were three pairs of eyes. The first pair belonged to a woman dressed in yellow. With a charming face, snow-white skin, a cute nose, a gorgeous figure, she hid behind the sandy mountain. Except for her red eyes, every other part of her, including her presence, was concealed from view and detection.
Chapter 1715: The Royal Soul Fruit Matured
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The monarch soul fruit grew on a sandy cliff surrounded by three high mountains of golden sands.
Each of the mountains was thousands of meters high. From behind one of the mountains, a woman in red was watching Qingfeng Li and the others. Her eyes were icy-cold and devoid of any emotions, looking at them as if they were just a pile of bodies.
Behind the second mountain was concealed a skinny old man. With sparse hair and dried-up skin, he emitted a world-shaking presence and no animals dared to go near him.
Behind the third sandy mountain hid a demon beast which had a single horn on its head. It was covered all over by black scales, with some silver scales mingled in, signifying that it was evolving toward a dragon.
Unfortunately, all the self-cultivators were watching the four crown princes lay siege to Qingfeng Li and was oblivious to the spectators lurking behind the three mountains.
With much more powerful soul power than every other self-cultivator present, Qingfeng Li had faintly sensed there were eyes watching him.
He was sure the watching eyes he sensed came from other sources instead of the four crown princes.
He turned his head toward the area around the monarch soul fruit and saw the three golden sandy mountains around the fruit.
The hard and sharp sandy rocks emitted radiant light, blinding anyone watching it.
Qingfeng Li thought the danger he just sensed came from the three sandy mountains and he prepared to concentrate his energy to get a clearer feeling of them.
But the crown princes and their guards from Lingyun, Fiery-Sun, Golden-Arrow and Clear-Wood all gathered around Qingfeng Li, planning to launch attacks against him.
Behind Qingfeng Li, the Second Prince, Mengyao Xu, Li Yang, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and a dozen of black-clothed retainers walked to guard Qingfeng’s flanks. A battle would begin any second.
The air was permeated with intense killing intent signaling an imminent great battle. At this moment, a self-cultivator yelled, “Look! The monarch soul fruit is about to mature.”
As one, all the people turned their eyes toward the monarch soul fruit on the sandy cliff and saw a shiny golden fruit on the small golden tree.
The fruit emitted radiant golden light and an enticing aroma was released from it. They could smell it even from hundreds of meters away.
The intense aroma of the monarch soul fruit contained huge amounts of soul energy. With a sniff of it, the self-cultivators felt the cleansing of their pores, skins, and brains.
Some self-cultivators even felt their soul powers had gained an obvious growth.
Deserting Qingfeng Li, all the crown princes, princes, and princesses rushed toward the monarch soul fruit.
They wanted to kill Qingfeng Li, but they wanted to get the monarch soul fruit more. Now that the fruit had matured, no one could resist its temptation.
Even the prince of Soil-Border clawed out of the sands. After closing his wounds with vital essence, he dashed toward the monarch soul fruit on the cliff.
When the Second Prince, Mengyao Xu, and Li Yang were also about to run toward the monarch soul fruit, Qingfeng Li stopped them.
He called out, “You guys, don’t go there. Stay where you are.”
The Second Prince turned to look at Qingfeng Li in bafflement, wondering why he asked them to stay here instead of going for the monarch soul fruit.
Grim-eyed, Qingfeng Li looked toward the three sandy mountains around the monarch soul fruit and said in a low voice, “I sense some danger ahead. You must not go near it.”
Black Puppy nodded, saying, “Yeah, the monarch soul fruit is a supreme realm spirit herb which can heal souls. Such a rare treasure surely is protected.”
The Desert Giant walked over and said, “Master, I heard from the Desert Queen that she would hide near the monarch soul fruit and kill any self-cultivators who went near it.”
Cold sweat broke out on the Second Prince and others since they all knew the great power of the Desert Queen, who was one of the three super fighters in the Crimson Fire Desert and had killed many powerful supreme realm self-cultivators.
Besides Qingfeng Li and his group, all the princes and princesses rushed toward the monarch soul fruit. So, did some sect disciples among whom Qingfeng Li found several familiar faces.
They were Yangtian Jin from the Sword Supreme Sect, Yidao Leng from the Saber Supreme Sect, and Yifei Wang from the Black Elixir Sect. Flying in the air, they were as fast as those crown princes on the ground.
At least five thousand self-cultivators rushed toward the monarch soul fruit. There had been more than ten thousand self-cultivators coming into the desert but most of them had died on the way.
When the self-cultivators were within fifty meters of the fruit, they screamed. From the sands below the fruit, a red fire suddenly shot up.
With great speed, the red fire shot onto the people closest to it, burning through their clothes and flesh with loud crackling sounds. Painful screams and the smell of singed fabric and flesh filled the air.
The powerful princes and princesses had sensed the horrible danger of the fire and instantly retreated, dodging the attack.
But their followers were not so lucky. Most of them died in the fire and the loss of lives was heart wrenching.
“Back off, everyone! The red fire is too hot for us to withstand.” The Crown Prince of Fiery-Sun called out.
All the self-cultivators retreated and dared not to go near the monarch soul fruit. They looked ahead of them with horror on their faces.
The Second Prince turned pale with fear and large beads of sweat slid down his forehead. He reached out his palm to dry the sweat on his forehead and looked at Qingfeng Li with admiration.
The Second Prince and the black-clothed followers congratulated themselves for heeding Qingfeng Li’s warning and not rushing forward, otherwise they would have been dead.
Qingfeng Li turned his head and asked the Desert Giant, “Little Sandie, was the fire released by your Desert Queen?”
The Desert Giant shook his head and said, “Master, the red fire must have been released by the Fiery Supreme. He is one of the three super fighters in the Crimson Fire Desert and excels in controlling fires.”
Chapter 1716: Neighbors Who Can’t Agree Will Lose to a Third Party
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng Li’s brows tensed up. He learned from the desert giant that the Fire Supreme was a powerful self-cultivator in the eighth level of the supreme realm.
Qingfeng Li was only level two of the supreme realm. If it was within three levels, he could have managed, but the difference of six levels meant that Qingfeng Li couldn’t deal with the Fire Supreme.
The second prince’s eyes were filled with hopelessness. The reason he was here in the Crimson Fire Desert was to get the monarch soul fruit and bring it back to extend his father’s life.
There was another reason as well, and that was to become the heir to the thorn and the next Emperor of Lingyun, but now it seemed like everything was falling apart.
Level eight of the supreme realm, just the thought of it made the second prince tremble in fear. That master could kill him with one slap.
Mengyao Xu’s brows tensed up as well. Even though her relationship with the Emperor of Lingyun wasn’t close, the Emperor was still extremely nice and showed good hospitality towards her.
Mengyao Xu also wanted to get the fruit and extend the Emperor’s life. After all, she wanted to continue her self-cultivation in Lingyun’s royal palace as well.
The royal palace had the best location among the five nations of the Crimson Fire Continent; it was right under the Fairy Star and could attract the light emitted by the star. If it was any other place, Mengyao Xu would not be able to practice.
Mengyao Xu looked at Qingfeng Li and said, “What should we do now? Our enemy is too powerful. How could we get the fruit if we cannot even pass through here?”
Qingfeng Li’s eyes lit up and he whispered, “Have you heard the saying: when shepherds quarrel, the wolf is the true winner? What we have to do now is to just sit tight and do nothing.”
Mengyao Xu was extremely smart and understood what Qingfeng Li meant. They were going to wait for the others to fight each other, get tired, and steal their monarch soul fruit.
“We will back off 2000 meters and hide our presence. This way they will not be able to find us.” Qingfeng Li left with Mengyao Xu, the second prince, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and Li Yang.
Qingfeng Li and the others backed off 2000 meters and hid behind a desert hill.
They even covered themselves with sand to hide their presence; this way the heat and the vital essence from their body wouldn’t emit. They only left their eyes out to observe the monarch soul fruit in front of them.
A huge fight broke out beside the fruit. The red fire killed more than 100 self-cultivators, but there were still more than 4000 alive. They all backed off, but they didn’t give up.
Even though the fire from the Fire Supreme was extremely powerful, the other self-cultivators were all heirs to their individual forces and were all powerful as well.
Their emperors or sects all gave them powerful spiritual treasures when they left, some of them were equal to the strength of an eighth level supreme realm master.
There were even some forbidden spiritual treasures that were able to initiate attacks equal to ninth level of the supreme realm. Thus, they weren’t too scared of it.
But these princes, princesses, and heirs all had their own secret plans, so they didn’t want to bring out their forbidden spiritual treasures just yet.
There was only one chance to use the forbidden attack, after which their enemy would be on guard. If they were to use it to extinguish the fire by the Fire Supreme, the people around them would take the fruit instead.
The Crown Prince of Lingyun’s brows tensed up, and he said to the crowd, “Prince of Fiery-Sun, Golden-Arrow, Clear-Wood, and Soil-Border, you guys are all heirs to your own nations.”
“I believe your fathers all gave you powerful spiritual treasures. You guys don’t need to hide it anymore, we can only defeat the Fire Supreme with our spiritual treasures. Or else, no one can get the fruit.”
Fiery-Sun’s Prince said, “Your thought is good, but we are all enemies to each other. No one will show their cards; that would only put them at a disadvantage.”
Clear-Wood’s prince said, “Prince of Fiery-Sun, if we were to follow what you said, and no one uses any forbidden attacks. We will not defeat the enemy in front of us nor get the fruit.”
Golden-Arrow country’s prince said, “I have a good method. We all draw a ballot and form a short alliance. Whoever is chosen will use their secret attack and defeat the enemy. Then we will all share a bit of our fruit to the person that won the lottery.”
Everyone nodded and thought what he said made sense. After all, they all looked down at each other, so drawing a ballot was the only way.
There was only one monarch soul fruit, but the tree that it came from, the branches and leaves, were all powerful elixirs as well.
The other self-cultivators all looked at them quietly because they knew they had no rights to talk to the heirs of the five nations.
But there were some exceptions, and they were the Sword Supreme Sect, the Saber Supreme Sect, and the Black Elixir Sect. They were powerful sects within the nations and had the same power and forces as the nations.
Naturally they wouldn’t let the heirs grab everything as their own.
Yangtian Jing, Yidao Leng, and Yifei Wang all came over. Yangtian Jing was the first one to talk, “Prince of Lingyun, what makes you think that only you five have the right to participate. Us three have the rights as well.”
The heirs all tensed their brows because they didn’t want too many people to participate.
This was because there was only one emperor soul fruit and a limited number of branches.
But Yangtian Jing, Yidao Leng, and Yifei Wang weren’t weaker than them and they all had their own spiritual weapons and techniques, so they had to allow them to participate as well. The number of participants increased from five to eight.
No one noticed that Qingfeng Li wasn’t here anymore. They all selectively forgot about him, but funnily, Qingfeng Li was under a hill 2000 meters away from them. He was looking at them with contempt.
Qingfeng Li himself had the Golden Flames, a saint level fire. He knew how powerful the fire was, which was one of the most powerful attacks between heavens and earth.
If Qingfeng Li were to use his Golden Flames, then maybe he could defeat the fire from the Fire Supreme. But if he were to fight the Fire Supreme on his own, Qingfeng Li was definitely not his opponent.
Chapter 1717: Fiery Supreme
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng Li learned from the Desert Giant that there was not only the Fiery Supreme somewhere around the monarch soul fruit, but also the Desert Queen, and some other supreme level Demonic Beasts. All of them were rulers of the desert and were extremely powerful.
Qingfeng mumbled, “I will wait and see. I will just wait until the Fiery Supreme and everyone has been injured, and then I will join the battle.”
The five princes from the five kingdoms and the three disciples from the three Supreme level sects started drawing ballots. In the end, the prince of the Fiery-Sun Kingdom and the prince of Golden-Arrow were picked.
The two of them looked at each other speechlessly and were very miserable. However, the eight of them had a covenant, so they had to keep their words.
The Fiery-Sun Prince and the Golden-Arrow Prince walked forward and took out their two Forbidden Spiritual Artifacts.
These Forbidden Spiritual Artifacts were extremely powerful. One was a golden ring and the other one was a golden arrow. Not long after they were taken out, an earthshaking force was released, and a golden light shot straight through the sky, showing how powerful the two artifacts were.
“Let’s do it,” The two princes looked at each other as a cold light flashed in their eyes.
The Fiery-Sun Prince channeled the fire elemental vital essence inside his body and formed a giant flame, infused onto the golden ring. He threw the ring forward as it cut through the air and arrived in front of the flame within seconds.
The Golden-Arrow Prince shot the arrow with his golden bow right after the Fiery-Sun Prince’s attack. The arrow shot through time and space, just like when Hou Yi shot down the sun.
The power of both princes was horrifying strong, and same for the two Forbidden Spiritual Artifacts. Both attacks flew towards the monarch soul fruit and extinguished the red flame.
The golden ring and the golden arrow did not stop. They continued to shoot forwards until it hit a sand mountain, shattering into pieces and covering the sky with dust and sands.
An emaciated elder, covered in dust, jumped out of the sand mountain.
Although the Fiery Supreme was an Eighth Level Supreme Realm master, the attacks made by those Forbidden Spiritual Artifacts from the two princes were too powerful. The attacks were equal to the attacks made by two Eighth Level Supreme Realm emperors, as the Fiery Supreme panicked and was slightly injured.
The emaciated elder was the Fiery Supreme.
Anger flashed through the Fiery Supreme’s eyes, he never would’ve thought that as one of the three supreme masters in the Crimson Fire Desert, he would be injured by the two ‘little’ princes. That was extremely embarrassing for him.
The Fiery Supreme was filled with anger as he said coldly, “You two bastards! How dare you use the Spiritual Artifacts gifted by your emperors to put out my flames. I will not spare your lives today.”
The Fiery Supreme jumped up into the air and slapped together his palms. Two red flames came out of his mouth and flew towards the Fiery-Sun Prince and the Golden-arrow Prince with an extreme speed, burning everything down into nothing.
The two princes fearlessly used the forbidden techniques again. The golden ring and the golden arrow were shot towards the Fiery Supreme once again, putting out his flames.
The golden ring and the golden arrow did not stop. They turned around and directly shot towards the Fiery Supreme’s body, almost penetrating through.
The Fiery Supreme’s face turned pale. He thought the forbidden techniques could only be used once. The golden ring sliced opened his arm and started bleeding while he was caught off guard.
Qingfeng Li was observing the battle from a distance and was shocked to see the battle was a draw between the princes and the Fiery Supreme.
Qingfeng never thought that these princes would possess such formidable forbidden weapons. Every one of those weapons was extremely powerful, almost equal to the power of an Eighth Level Supreme Realm master.
Qingfeng Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly sighed with relief, “Thank god they did not use their forbidden weapons while I was fighting them. Or else I would’ve been in great danger.”
He did not fear those Forbidden Spiritual Artifacts because he had many attack techniques. However, he could not use those techniques all at once. For example, his spirit energy and physical body could only handle him releasing the ‘Golden Flames’ three times.
The Fiery Supreme started to panic because of those forbidden weapons of the two princes. Although he was more powerful than them, their Forbidden Spiritual Artifacts were too powerful.
Suddenly, the Fiery Supreme turned around and yelled at a sand mountain, “What are you waiting for! If I fail and you are not going to help, the monarch soul fruit will be taken by these people!”
Bang!
A loud noise was made as the sand mountain exploded. A slim, tall beautiful lady walked out and flew into the air. Unbelievably, a pair of silver wings grew on the side of this lady’s body.
An extremely powerful force exuded from above and frightened everyone. She was the Desert Queen, known as the most powerful master in the desert and the ruler of the Desert Giant Clan that had cultivated a humanoid body.
After seeing the Desert Queen, the Desert Giant that was right next to Qingfeng Li was frightened. Its body started shaking as its natural instinct was to fear her.
Qingfeng Li reached out his arm and touched the Desert Giant on its head, infusing some vital essence into it in order to contain its fear. He said calmly, “All good. I am here, and we are almost 2000 meters away from her, there is no way she can notice you.”
With Qingfeng Li’s help, the Desert Giant started to calm down. However, it still wouldn’t look up and remained under the sand as it was scared to be seen by its queen – the Desert Queen.
The Desert Queen looked at the Fiery Supreme and waved her right wing, forming a silver light blade.
The silver light blade cut through the air and space and hit the golden ring. An earthshaking loud noise was made as the golden ring was smacked away.
The Fiery-Sun Prince’s face turned pale as he took a step back and spat out a mouthful of blood. The golden ring was imprinted by his essence blood. Therefore, when the ring was smacked away by the Desert Queen, he was also slightly wounded.
The Fiery-Sun Prince turned his head around and said to everyone, “Lingyun Prince, Clear-Wood Prince, Soil-Border Prince, what are you waiting for? Come help me, I can’t defeat the Desert Queen.”
Those who could enter the Crimson Fire Desert all had a rich background. They were either from a rich family; the prince, princess, or a royal family member of a kingdom; or final disciples of a Thane of a powerful sect.
They all had some understandings about the Crimson Fire Desert. They knew that there were three supreme masters within the desert; other than the Fiery Supreme, they were the Desert Queen and a giant python.
Chapter 1718: The Big Chaotic Battle
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The words of the Fiery-Sun Prince shocked the princes of Lingyun, Soil-Border, Clear-Wood, and all their disciples.
They knew that the Fiery-Sun Prince was right. If they allowed for the defeat of the Fiery-Sun Prince and the Golden-Arrow Prince, the Desert Queen would come after them next. They had to join the battle
Plus, the treaty only required the Fiery-Sun Prince and the Golden-Arrow Prince to fight the Fiery Supreme. The Desert Queen wasn’t part of the deal.
The crown princes of Lingyun, Soil-Border, and Clear-Wood all took out their Forbidden Spiritual Treasures without a second of hesitation.
Their Forbidden Spiritual Treasures were all incredibly powerful. The treasures’ mere presence blew apart the air and cracked open space itself. These supreme level eighth stage treasures were all bestowed upon them by their respective emperor fathers, and each treasure embodied the avatar of those emperors.
The Desert Queen was taken aback by the sight of the three masters standing in front of her.
The three princes from Lingyun, Soil-Border, and Clear-Wood wielded their treasures and entered into battle against the Desert Queen.
In another direction, the Fiery-Sun Prince and the Golden-Arrow Prince continued their fight with the Fiery Supreme.
Everyone was suddenly in battle, filling the air with carnage. The spiritual treasures attacked relentlessly, shooting out vital essence in every direction. Every attack shattered the atmosphere, cracking open space and time, frightening as could be.
As for the self-cultivators brought by the five princes, they were attacking from afar with their own spiritual treasures, harassing and confusing both the Fiery Supreme and the Desert Queen through their relentless attacks, preventing the duo from attacking their masters.
The Desert Queen and the Fiery Supreme were both incredibly powerful, with their every attack shaking the heavens.
Huge waves of energy spread across all directions, leaving the world dark and setting off massive sandstorms in its wake. The debris flew in all directions, with some even reaching Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li could only try to contain his vital essence from spreading. He couldn’t allow for it to form into an energy veil, as it would grab the attention of the two supreme masters.
Qingfeng Li took a look at Mengyao Xu, who laid down beside him and discovered a cut on her face.
He reached out his right hand and touched her face gently, emitting warmth. He wiped off the trace of blood on her cheeks, restoring her delicate beauty.
Mengyao Xu’s face reddened from shyness, glaring at Qingfeng Li in silence.
Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake all rolled their eyes at Qingfeng Li. As far as they were concerned, he had forgotten about them the moment he met up with Mengyao Xu. Ever since then, he ignored them and had kicked them to the curb.
Before entering the Crimson Fire Desert, the five princes had all received their own Forbidden Spiritual Treasures from their respective father emperors. Being so well-equipped, they began to force back the Desert Queen and the Fiery Supreme.
Although they were both supreme masters of the Crimson Fire Desert, the Desert Queen and the Fiery Supreme still struggled in the face of the attacks from the thousands of self-cultivators.
The Desert Queen turned towards the third sand mountain and said, “Green-scaled serpent, what are you waiting for? Come out and kill these people.”
From the third sand mountain, an indifferent voice came out, “Desert Queen, I thought you and Fiery Supreme could take care of these cultivators. It turned out that you guys can’t and still need me to personally take care of things.”
Bang!
With a loud sound, the third sand mountain exploded. From it, flew out a giant serpent that was hundreds of meters long.
It was hiding within the sand mountain all along. The scales on its body were green, emitting a jade-like radiance. Its head no longer had a tongue, but instead, it was human-faced. It had begun its transformation into a human being.
The green-scaled serpent opened its mouth and shot out a white icicle. The white icicle dashed towards the crowd of self-cultivators, setting off an explosion. Suddenly, an infinite amount of sharp ice thorns sprayed across all directions, killing more than 100 self-cultivators instantly.
The self-cultivators screamed out in pain as they suffered miserable deaths. The survivors all backed away. They couldn’t defend themselves against the supreme level eighth stage demonic beast. They could only attack from afar.
The green-scaled serpent was famous across the Crimson Fire Desert. It was one of the three supreme masters, and it was also a ferocious beast.
At the sight of this, the five princes all panicked as more than a hundred of their followers had just been slaughtered.
These men were their most elite followers. They originally came to fight the Desert Queen and the Fiery Supreme but were wholly ambushed by the green-scaled serpent.
The green-scaled serpent looked excited at the sight of its powers killing more than 100 self-cultivators.
The green-scaled serpent spat out dozens of white icicles into the crowd, setting off explosions and killing more than 1000 self-cultivators, causing a sharp drop in numbers.
At the sight of this, the Fiery-Sun Prince’s expression twisted in rage. He yelled towards the disciples of the three sects in the far distance, “Yangtian Jin, Yidao Leng, Yifei Wang, what are you waiting for? You are all disciples of supreme-level sects. Hurry up and attack the green-scaled serpent. Do you want all of us to die?!”
Yangtian Jin, Yidao Leng, and Yifei Wang had originally planned to sit back and watch the fight. They intended for the green-scaled serpent to kill the self-cultivators. They would only attack once the beast became weak.
Unfortunately for them, the Fiery-Sun Prince saw right through their little plan. They had no choice but to join in on the fight to eliminate their common enemy.
Yangtian Jin, Yidao Leng, and Yifei Wang took out their respective Forbidden Spiritual Treasures, granted to them by their Thanes and masters before they entered the Crimson Fire Desert. With these Forbidden Spiritual Treasures, they could call upon their respective master’s avatars when needed.
Boom, boom, boom…
Loud booms resonated throughout the sky.
Yangtian Jin, Yifei Wang, and Yidao Leng attacked all at once, unleashing their Forbidden Spiritual Treasures, all striking towards the green-scaled serpent, forcing its body to retreat.
The eyes of the green-scaled serpent burned with fury, clearly surprised by its defeat in the exchange. With its mouth wide open, the green-scaled serpent shot out white icicles towards the three people.
The white icicles didn’t bother Yangtian Jin and the others even one bit. They immediately took out their supreme level Forbidden Spiritual Treasures and shattered the white icicles with ease.
Suddenly, a deadly battle broke out in the skies. The Crimson Fire Desert’s three supreme masters, the royal princes of the five kingdoms of the southern mainland, their thousands of disciples, as well as the disciples of the three major supreme level sects all entered into a big fight.
Qingfeng Li and the others hid beneath the desert 2000 meters into the distance, watching as the battle broke out.
Chapter 1719: A Lose-Lose Situation
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
At the sight of Qingfeng Li getting close to his sister Mengyao Xu, the second prince twitched his mouth.
A deadly battle was happening in the distance, causing the deaths of countless self-cultivators. And what was Qingfeng Li doing? He was busy hitting on the second prince’s sister.
The second prince couldn’t hold it in any longer. He asked quietly, “When can we grab the monarch soul fruit? We can’t stay here forever.”
Qingfeng Li glanced at the second prince, fully acknowledging his intentions. He said lightly, “Don’t be in such a hurry. We will attack once they’re all injured. We cannot go now.”
The second prince rolled his eyes at the answer. Although he wanted to grab the monarch soul fruit, he knew that he wouldn’t succeed without the help of Qingfeng Li. He would die as soon as he entered the battle.
Not only was he too weak to fight the three supreme masters of the Fiery Desert, but he was also too weak to fight the princes of the other countries. His only option was to listen to Qingfeng Li and wait.
Qingfeng Li was very patient. He stared into the distance without blinking. He needed to learn the offensive techniques of the three supreme masters of the Fiery Desert, as well as their injury conditions.
Although the three supreme masters appeared invincible, they still struggled to defend against the thousands of self-cultivators. On top of this, they were attacked by the spiritual treasures of the five princes and the Forbidden Spiritual Treasures of the supreme level sects’ final disciples. The three supreme masters were forced back inch by inch.
Finally, in the battle’s climax, the green-scaled serpent began to evolve. A horn emerged on top its head, a sign that the serpent was transforming into a dragon.
At this sight, Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows in disbelief. He was very familiar with the powers of a dragon. They were much stronger than serpents. He definitely made the right decision by not attacking.
After the green-scaled serpent evolved into a dragon, it lashed out its tail, killing more than 100 self-cultivators instantly, completely invincible.
With its mouth wide open, the green-scaled serpent spat out an icicle, further killing hundreds of people, sending the remaining self-cultivators into screams and panic, forcing them to retreat.
They only entered the Crimson Fire Desert because they were the best of the best masters in their respective countries. They were very familiar with the powers of a dragon; its powers were just short of that of a dragon’s. One more step and it would evolve into an actual dragon.
The expressions of Yangtian Jin, Yidao Leng, and Yifei Wang all froze. They were responsible for finishing the green-scaled serpent but didn’t expect for it to evolve.
They panicked, their bodies retreating steadily, their faces colorless, and their mouths spewing out blood.
Although they were the final disciples of the three big supreme level sects, they were still no match for an all-mighty dragon even with their supreme level Forbidden Spiritual Treasures from their teachers.
Yangtian Jin’s eyes flashed cold as he yelled out, “We need to unleash our bloodline powers and call upon our teacher’s spirits. Otherwise, we are no match for the dragon.”
Yidao Leng and Yifei Wang both nodded in agreement. At the rate they’re going, their final destination was death.
The three of them each took out a sheet of paper, which were spiritual paper. They then bit down on their fingers, drawing blood and dripping it onto the sheets. Suddenly, they were enveloped with a dazzling light.
Each person brought their hands together, pinching their palms while murmuring a chant, eliciting a golden light from their paper. Suddenly, a crack formed in the air and from it emerged three shadows. They were none other than the Thanes of the Sword Supreme Sect, the Saber Supreme Sect, and the Black Elixir Sect.
As soon as the three big supreme level Thanes appeared, a gush of sky-splitting energy emerged. They were all avatars, but immensely powerful nonetheless. They targeted the green-scaled dragon instantly.
Without any hesitation, they all charged towards the green-scaled dragon. One waved out its long golden sword, the second wielded a big black blade, and the third shot out black flames from his alchemy furnace.
Although it had already evolved, the green-scaled dragon wasn’t yet fully developed. Its skin was still weak, and its bloodline powers were incomplete.
With the sudden attack from the three supreme level sect master avatars, the green-scaled dragon immediately showed signs of struggles. Its body suffered strikes after strikes, full of sword, blade, and burn marks. The dragon screamed out in pain as it fell out of the sky.
The green-scaled dragon glowered, “You peasant humans, how dare you bring along your sect masters’ avatars?! This is against the rules of the Five Country Treaty!”
Yangtian Jin, Yidao Leng, and Yifei Wang all laughed arrogantly. As far as they were concerned, the Five Country Treaty was just an excuse.
Their sect masters’ absences was already enough kindness towards Lingyun. Instead, they brought their sect masters’ spiritual avatars to obtain the monarch soul fruit.
The three big supreme level sect master avatars were all powerful and formidable. Their sword techniques, blade techniques, and black flames were all immensely powerful, wounding the green-scaled dragon relentlessly and forcing it to spew out fresh blood.
The green-scaled dragon went mad, battling tirelessly against the three supreme level sect master avatars, channeling its Demon Vitality continuously and attacking with all its might.
In another direction, the five princes also took out their summoning scrolls, immediately calling down the avatars of their emperors.
Of course, the Lingyun Emperor was an exception. He was heavily injured and needed a good rest in his palace.
The avatars of the four other emperors appeared all at once, charging towards the Fiery Supreme and the Desert Queen, wounding them, and sending the two supreme masters into retreat. If the battle had been a one-on-one match, the supreme masters of the Crimson Fire Desert wouldn’t be afraid of any of the emperors.
However, with the addition of three supreme level sect master avatars, the supreme masters couldn’t fend off a total of seven powerful enemies.
In the end, two of the three supreme masters of the Crimson Fire Desert, the Fiery Supreme and the green-scaled serpent were both slaughtered. However, both their bodies exploded as they died, blowing up the sect master and emperor avatars into pieces, bringing them along to hell.
Qingfeng Li was stunned by the scene. He knew that he had made the right decision by hiding. If he had entered the battle, he would’ve been killed by now.
Qingfeng Li looked forward and discovered two more emperor avatars. They were the emperor avatars of the Fiery-Sun country and the Golden-Arrow country.
On top of this, the Desert Queen was still in battle as well.
But the battle ended quickly, with the Desert Queen’s arm broken off. She had to pay the price for killing off the avatar of the Fiery-Sun emperor. What remained, was a heavily-injured Desert Queen, and the avatar of the Golden-Arrow emperor.
Qingfeng Li smiled lightly and said quietly, “Everyone, prepare yourselves. Once the two of them kill each other, we’ll go and grab the monarch soul fruit.”
Chapter 1720: Qingfeng Li Exposed
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng Li watched the battle closely, discovering that most of the self-cultivators had already been killed. Even the five princes were heavily wounded, with their Forbidden Spiritual Treasures all destroyed as well.
The emperor avatars they’ve called upon had mostly vanished as well, leaving behind only the Golden-Arrow country’s emperor avatar and the Desert Queen. They were also heavily injured but were still engaged in battle.
As a royalty of the Crimson Fire Desert, the Desert Queen knew in great detail its environment. She was familiar with the desert’s every sand speck and every nook and cranny, its every mountain, plant, and beast. This was the only reason to why she had survived for so long.
With the Fiery Supreme and the green-scaled dragon dead, the Desert Queen took control of the surrounding desert, forming a massive sandstorm and trapping everyone inside.
The Golden-Arrow country’s emperor avatar panicked at the sight of the sandstorm. In an attempt to protect his son and the other self-cultivators, he chose to self-combust, destroying the Desert Queen’s sandstorm instantly.
Along with the destruction of her sandstorm, the Desert Queen was heavily injured as well. Her face was pale as paper as her body fell heavily toward the ground.
The previous supreme level eight stage Desert Queen was now reduced to a supreme level fifth stage master.
The Golden-Arrow Prince, the Princess, and the final disciples of the big three sects were all injured, but none were dead.
They surrounded the Desert Queen, attacking her all at once. They needed to take advantage of her injuries and finish her quickly. This was the only way they can retrieve the monarch soul fruit.
Otherwise, they would face grave danger once she regained her powers.
The Desert Queen furrowed her brows. In her prime, she wouldn’t be threatened by these people. But now that she had suffered injuries from her previous battles with the emperor avatars, she had little vital essence left.
She sent out her spirit energy into the surrounding sand, raising her brows momentarily, her lips curving upwards. She had discovered a Desert Giant 2000 meters away.
The Desert Giant was an incredibly strong presence, dubbed the second greatest master under the Desert Queen, second only to the Desert General. It was a prized soldier of the Desert Queen.
“Desert Giant, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and protect me!” The Desert Queen yelled into the distance.
At the sound of her voice, the five princes and their followers all halted their steps. They recognized the Desert Queen as the most powerful being in the Crimson Fire Desert.
She had the power to control sand, and she had power over many Desert Giants. If these Desert Giants surrounded them, they would have nowhere to run.
2000 meters into the distance, Qingfeng Li hid beneath the sand, furrowing his brows at the Desert Giant next to him.
Never in a million years did Qingfeng Li expect the Desert Queen to discover the Desert Giant. As he thought more about it, however, it was easy to understand.
The Desert Queen had most definitely set up a tracking system on the Desert Giant. As a person made entirely of sand and as their boss, the Desert Queen probably had special ways to locate the Desert Giants.
The Desert Giant hesitated. On the one side was its previous Queen and on the side, was its current master. Unable to decide, it looked towards Qingfeng Li, hoping he would help him decide.
Qingfeng Li shifted his eyes and said, “Don’t go. We’ll continue to hide here.”
Qingfeng Li had his own plans. He would only attack after the Desert Queen and the five princes injured each other.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as Qingfeng Li had planned. After the five princes discovered the hiding Desert Giant, they halted their attacks on the Desert Queen, with two of the princes even retreating backward.
The Soil-Border Prince and the Golden-Arrow Prince walked side-by-side towards the Desert Giant.
The Soil-Border Prince stomped his foot on the ground, creating a huge crack in the land. His practices were in earth-type techniques and Gravity Techniques.
The purpose of his action was to suck in all the sand into the ground and reveal the body of the Desert Giant.
At the sight of the Desert Giant, the Soil-Border Prince said coldly, “So there really is a soldier of the Desert Queen hiding here. I will finish you today.”
Knowing full well that they could no longer hide, Qingfeng Li’s eyes flashed cold. He had no choice but to show his face. His plans had to change.
Qingfeng Li decided to finish his enemies as quickly as possible. He would first kill the two princes closest to him to cut down the number of enemies.
Qingfeng Li glanced at Mengyao Xu and said, “You, Black Puppy, and Sky-Swallowing Snake attack the Golden-Arrow Prince. I’ll kill the Soil-Border Prince first.”
With their jobs assigned, Qingfeng Li immediately flew out from under the sand, dashing towards the Soil-Border Prince as fast as lightning.
The Soil-Border Prince was startled by the appearance of another being charging at him. He was completely blind to its presence, which could only mean that it had incredible concealing techniques.
At the sight of Qingfeng Li, the Soil-Border Prince was even more frightened.
In their previous battle, Qingfeng Li had defeated the Soil-Border Prince, devouring his bloodline powers and punching him into the desert sand.
If it weren’t for everyone battling for the ripened monarch soul fruit, the Soil-Border Prince would have died in the hands of Qingfeng Li.
Although he hated Qingfeng Li, the Soil-Border Prince knew that he was no match for the man. The Soil-Border Prince began to run without a second of hesitation.
He wanted to join the other three princes to fight Qingfeng Li together. Unfortunately for him, Qingfeng Li was much faster, arriving behind him in the blink of an eye.
“Third Finger Ceases Time!” Qingfeng Li unleashed the third technique of the Conqueror’s Finger. He needed to kill the Soil-Border Prince as soon as possible.
The Soil-Border Prince was sprinting away but was stopped in the next second, trapped by the green light shot from Qingfeng Li’s finger.
Qingfeng Li channeled his Hellish vital essence into his fist, forming on top of it tadpole-like talisman scripts and emitting out rays of violent energy.
Every individual seal script contained the energy of Hell. Combined, the scriptures dazzled a black light, turning even more violent and appearing even more absolutely bone-chilling.
Chapter 1721: The Battle for the Monarch Soul Fruit
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng Li unleashed the Strangle Hell Fist’s seventh fist, smashing it forward directly onto the body of the Soil-Border Prince.
Bang!
Following a loud bang, the body of the Soil-Border Prince split into half.
The death of the Soil-Border Prince looked miserable with his body split open.
In the next moment, a little green shadow dashed out of the Soil-Border Prince’s corpse. It was the nascent soul of the Soil-Border Prince, possessed by any self-cultivator of the supreme realm. The nascent soul acted as an avatar for the original body.
Qingfeng Li laughed coldly and said, “Want to run? It’s better if you leave behind your nascent soul.”
Qingfeng Li opened his mouth and spewed out a ray of golden energy.
The ray of golden energy sliced open the air, piercing through space and striking the nascent soul of the Soil-Border Prince, splitting it in two. The nascent soul died instantly, without the chance to even scream.
At this sight, the crowd gasped, their faces pale and their body shivering.
“Qingfeng Li’s too violent! How could he kill the Soil-Border Prince? He even destroyed the prince’s nascent soul. He just made the entire Soil-Border Country his enemy.”
“You’re right. The Soil-Border Prince is the emperor’s favorite son. The emperor will definitely seek vengeance.”
“Qingfeng Li’s dead for sure. The emperor of the Soil-Border country is a supreme realm class eight master. Once he finds Qingfeng Li, he’ll shred him to pieces.”
The surrounding self-cultivators all gazed at Qingfeng Li with eyes of mockery.
Qingfeng Li glared at the self-cultivators and taunted, “Shut your mouths if you don’t want to die.”
All the chatter stopped immediately, with the self-cultivators scared out of their wits. At the sight of the angry Qingfeng Li, they instantly shut their mouths, too afraid of his wrath. It would be a shame if they died due to their inability to keep their mouths closed.
In the other direction, Mengyao Xu, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake had also injured the Golden-Arrow Prince heavily, breaking his arms and legs and leaving multiple gashes on his torso.
Although Mengyao Xu had many chances to kill the Golden-Arrow Prince, she didn’t want to commit murder. She only wounded him.
Furrowing his brows, Qingfeng Li turned to Black Puppy and said, “Don’t hesitate, kill him and grab the monarch soul fruit.”
The black puppy nodded, launching itself into the air, spewing out a ray of black light. The beam of black light pierced through he Golden-Arrow Prince’s heart, killing him instantly.
The Golden-Arrow Prince also had a nascent soul in the depth of his brain. Upon his death, the spirit immediately made its escape. At the sight of this, Sky-Devouring Snake spewed out a devouring vortex, swallowing the nascent soul instantly and turning the spirit into its own energy.
Maybe the other self-cultivators feared the Golden-Arrow Prince, but Black Puppy and the Sky-Devouring Snake certainly didn’t.
Firstly, they had Qingfeng Li behind them and secondly, they were the number one dog and number one snake in the entire world. They were the dog ancestor and the snake ancestor. There was no way they’d be afraid of a mere self-cultivator.
In the blink of an eye, both the Golden-Arrow Prince and the Soil-Border Prince were dead. Their demise shocked all the disciples from their countries. These self-cultivators all charged at Qingfeng Li, wielding their weapons and attempting to avenge their princes.
There were more than 100 self-cultivators, all brought by the two princes for protection.
Now that their princes had died, they wouldn’t have a chance of living even if they returned to their home countries. Their emperors would kill them and their families for their failure to protect the princes. Their only chance at survival was to avenge the princes’ deaths.
Qingfeng Li smiled coldly as he stood there. He didn’t attack nor look at the self-cultivators. The black puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, the Second Prince, Li Yang, and the dozen black-cloaked solders all rushed out, finishing the self-cultivators of the two countries instantly.
Qingfeng Li, the Desert Giant, and the rest of the group made their way towards where the Desert Queen was located. There were now three parties.
The Desert Queen represented the first party. Although she was heavily injured, the Desert Queen was still a royalty of the Crimson Fire Desert, her ability and prestige were still as present as ever. The second party was composed of the remaining three princes, as well as Yangtian Jin, Yidao Leng, and Yifei Wang.
The third party consisted of Qingfeng Li, Mengyao Xu, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, the Second Prince, Li Yang, and the others.
The three forces stood their grounds, all staring at one another.
At the sight of Qingfeng Li, Yangtian Jin furrowed his brows and said, “I know you. You were on the Spirit World Platform of the low-tier planes of the Mars. You were only an average person back then. How did you become a supreme level self-cultivation master?”
Yifei Wang also recognized Qingfeng Li, and she was just as surprised. Back on the Spirit World Platform, she and Yangtian Jin had humiliated Qingfeng Li to great lengths, forcing him to wash their clothes, even wanting to kill him. In the end, they threw him into the Demonic Beast Wilderness.
At the sight of their enemy, their eyes burned with rage.
Qingfeng Li glared at the two and said, “You wanted me dead back then, but too bad, I survived. Today will be the day you die.”
Yangtian Jin and Yifei Wang both laughed loudly, looking at Qingfeng Li with eyes of disdain. Although Qingfeng Li was powerful, they had six masters on their side. They were not afraid of him.
Qingfeng Li smiled lightly as he suddenly turned towards the Desert Queen. He said, “Your majesty, these people have hurt you. Why don’t we first join forces to finish them? We can fight for the monarch soul fruit afterward.”
At the sound of Qingfeng Li’s proposal, the Desert Queen’s eyes shifted, as if she was thinking about something.
After a moment of thought, the Desert Queen nodded and said, “Qingfeng Li, I agree. We should combine forces and kill them all.”
The faces of Lingyun’s Crown Prince, the Fiery-Sun Prince, the Clear-Wood Prince, Yangtian Jin, Yidao Leng, and Yifei Wang all twisted in rage.
They never imagined that Qingfeng Li would join forces with the Desert Queen and attack them.
The Desert Queen immediately dashed towards the three princes and said, “I’ll take these three. Finish the other three.”
Qingfeng Li nodded, transforming his body into a sharp sword, striking towards Yangtian Jin, Yidao Leng, and Yifei Wang. He had wanted them dead for a long time. He finally had the chance to kill all three of them.
Yangtian Jin furrowed his brows as he pulled out a long golden sword. It was a supreme level sword given to him by his master.
The sword exuded a fierce gold sword energy. His practice was of gold-type vital essence.
The gold-type vital essence was the most robust and most substantial element of the five natural elements. Its mere presence pierced through the universe, tearing apart space, shaking the world.
Chapter 1722: Burning Yangtian Jin to Death
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Yangtian Jin swung his golden long sword, which formed a bolt of fierce golden sword energy and chopped towards Qingfeng Li, creating a crack in the sky.
Qingfeng Li was calm and carefree. His right fist swung out abruptly, carrying majestic vital essence, and breaking Yangtian Jin’s golden sword energy into pieces, which turned into gold sparkles and disappeared.
Qingfeng Li broke the golden sword energy of Yangtian Jin with one effortless punch.
Qingfeng Li said, “Your sword technique is too weak. It is a shame that you are the Sword Supreme Sect’s final disciple. You wanted to make me sweep the floor at first? What a loser.”
Yangtian Jin was extremely mad, his face turning livid. He didn’t expect that Qingfeng Li would use the same phrase he used at the Spirit World Platform to insult him back.
Yangtian Jin continuously channeled the gold-element vital essence in his body as the supreme level golden long sword in his hand kept on cleaving forward and unleashing rays of golden sword energy.
The golden sword energy was condensed by the most rigid gold-type vital essence and tore space apart right away. It was a pity that Yangtian Jin encountered Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li’s physical strength surpassed human limits, and the Mortal Purgatory Body that he cultivated was also invincible, making his skin, muscles, bones, and fists as scary as hell.
Qingfeng Li kept on swinging his fists, each punch destroying Yangtian Jin’s sword energy. Qingfeng Li punched three times consecutively and smashed all of Yangtian Jin’s gold-element sword energy bolts into pieces.
“Try taking one punch from me.” Qingfeng Li immediately performed the seventh technique of the Strangle Hell Fist. A black fist appeared from void, cutting the air and space into half, and smashed towards Yangtian Jin.
Yangtian Jin freaked out because he just saw this punch split the Soil-Border Prince’s body.
Yangtian Jin sensed danger, that his life was on the line here.
At this critical moment, Yangtian Jin took out a Daoist talisman. On top of the Daoist talisman was inscribed a person’s figure, which was actually Yangtian Jin’s figure. This talisman was called the Scapegoat Talisman.
The Scapegoat Talisman was produced through combining a person’s essence blood with Heavenly Dao Seal Scripts, before being refined using a grandmaster-level array formation. Due to the difficult process, these talismans were extremely rare and the whole Sword Supreme Sect possessed less than three.
As the final disciple of the Sword Supreme Sect’s sect master, Yangtian Jin was very spoiled. He was granted the Scapegoat Talisman, which was rarer than his golden supreme level longsword, because of his trip into the Crimson Fire Desert.
For his life’s sake, Yangtian Jin could only utilize the Scapegoat Talisman now. He threw the Scapegoat Talisman in front of him and recited a chant, causing the talisman to form an avatar that had the same appearance as him.
Qingfeng Li’s Strangle Hell Fist struck Yangtian Jin’s avatar and directly blasted the avatar’s body in half. The Scapegoat Talisman also split into half and fell to the ground.
Behind the talisman, Yangtian Jin’s face grew pale in horror. Fortunately, he used the Scapegoat Talisman, or else, he would have died right now.
Yangtian Jin turned his head and said loudly, “What are you guys waiting for? Attack Qingfeng Li quickly! You guys won’t be able to live for long if I’m dead.”
Yidao Leng and Yifei Wang also freaked out. They wanted Yangtian Jin to test Qingfeng Li’s strength but didn’t expect that Yangtian Jin was no match against him.
They knew that they couldn’t wait anymore. Once Yangtian Jin was killed, both of them would definitely be next.
Yidao Leng drew out his black long blade, which released fierce blade energy, and swung it toward Qingfeng Li. The blade energy shook the sky and earth even before he attacked Qingfeng with it.
Supreme level treasured blades were extremely powerful. All surrounding self-cultivators moved back in a hurry because they were scared this black blade energy would strike them.
In the other direction, Yifei Wang also took out an ancient black alchemy furnace and smacked it hard at the bottom with her right hand. A ray of black flames came out from the alchemy furnace and shot towards Qingfeng Li.
A spark of murderous intent flashed through Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He wasn’t afraid at all facing the attacks of three supreme level masters, but Mengyao Xu and the second prince were worried behind him.
Mengyao Xu ran towards Qingfeng Li, wanting to help him. Behind her, the Second Prince, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake followed with the same thoughts.
Qingfeng Li waved his hand and told the people behind him, “Guys, don’t come. I will battle against these three people. All three of them will die by my hand, so don’t step in.”
Mengyao Xu nodded and backed off when she saw the confidence on Qingfeng Li’s face. It was because once Qingfeng was like this, he wouldn’t let anyone change his mind. If he said he could kill all three of them, he definitely could do it.
Qingfeng Li swung his right fist and clashed into Yidao Leng’s golden blade energy. At the same time, he breathed out golden energy and utilized the Gravity Technique to strike against Yifei Wang’s black flames.
Qingfeng Li’s other palm released the Golden Flames and shot at Yifei Wang’s alchemy furnace. He engulfed the black flames and turned them into his own energy.
Qingfeng Li battled against three people by himself. Even fighting against the final disciples of supreme level sects, Qingfeng Li wasn’t losing.
These three people were ranked in the top five of the Supreme Realm Prodigy Ranking of the Crimson Fire Continent’s Five kingdoms. Yangtian Jin was even ranked first. The golden long sword in his hand was forged from the original energy of the heavens and earth.
Yangtian Jin also had a gold-element seed in his body, a Dao seed that gathered the most rigid energy that existed between the heavens and the earth.
It was a pity that the three of them encountered Qingfeng Li, because they were destined for failure.
Qingfeng Li’s strongest power was the Golden Flames, so he decided to eliminate one person with it, engulfing Yifei Wang’s black flames completely.
He then extended his finger and manipulated the saint’s golden flames in front of Yifei Wang. The flames engulfed the alchemy furnace in Yifei Wang’s hands and turned it into a pool of molten metal.
Seeing her alchemy furnace engulfed, Yifei Wang screamed mournfully. It was an extremely precious high-grade alchemy furnace.
Yifei Wang normally used the alchemy furnace to refine supreme level elixirs, but Qingfeng Li had unexpectedly melted it.
Thinking of how powerful Qingfeng Li’s Golden Flames were, her heart sank.
Sensing Qingfeng Li’s ferocious eyes, Yifei Wang panicked, moved backwards, and hid behind Yangtian Jin.
At this time, the Golden Flames shot out from Qingfeng Li’s hand, rushing across the sand dunes and hitting Yangtian Jin’s body.
Yangtian Jin screamed miserably because his body quickly charring black and catching fire from the Golden Flames.
He couldn’t endure the high temperature of 8000 degrees Celsius, his whole body igniting and turning into a mass of flames.
