Chapter 114 An Unreasonable Supreme Being!
The skies over the Jian family's sacred realm were completely shaded in gold as they illuminated the entire sacred realm like a lamp. Within the Sword Saint City, thousands of cultivators stood in queues as they paid their seating fees to a green-armored warrior, which would upgrade them to higher-ranking seats in the auction coliseum. But at the moment, no one cared about the seating fees as every living organism in the Sword Saint City painfully held their chests while dreadfully staring at the golden-colored skies.
The scene before the cultivators was magnificent yet scary as, at first sight, the golden skies made the sacred realm look like heaven, full of brilliance and magnificence. But upon proper assessment, the six beings in the sky seemed to be here to conquer this realm, making it the opposite of heaven-like. They all had felt that unbearable synchronized heartbeats as most cultivators couldn't bare the pressure and spatted mouthfuls of blood, while some even deadened, laying passed out.
"Who dares enter my Jian family's sacred realm without this Saint's permission?!"
Suddenly, a familiar old man's voice reverberated within the entire Jian Sacred Realm; one could sense the anger and resentment in his words as his voice alone caused the entire realm to tremble heavily.
In the sky, Patrick sat on his sun-like throne with an impassive and unreactive countenance as he heard the raging bellow of the old man. Ignoring the old man's previous bellowing, Patrick spoke as his manly voice echoed the entire realm.
"Is this the full hospitality of the Jian family? Such lazy efforts towards not even welcoming your guest institutes an acetous mood to engage in your auction; how disappointing."
Many cultivators in the sword saint city heard Patrick's words, and most expressed panic. With some even speaking their thoughts after.
"Who are these people? Could the one on the throne be a 'Dao child'? That might explain such overbearingness."
"Asking to be welcomed by the ancient Jian masters? Is he crazy, or is he a descendant of some hidden superpower with high status?"
"He mentioned partaking in the auction. Does that mean we would compete with him for treasures during the auction? Wouldn't that be tantamount to suicide for even daring to go against him, remembering what had just happened with our hearts beating?"
While most cultivators expressed signs of being panicked and intimidated, few thought differently. One of the few with unpanicked thoughts was Lian Zu. He, too, held his chest as he had also experienced the painful heartbeat; looking at Patrick's group in the sky with widened eyes, he thought.
'To have the power to affect the entire Jian sacred realm and even question the Saints of the Jian family, all while not getting punished by the sword laws of the Jian sacred realm; just who the hell is he? I know for sure he's not a Dao child. Those arrogant bastards are too egotistical to even show their faces in the Gong family, let alone the Jian family, plus their realms aren't that high to directly provoke an ancient family.'
Some of the other few cultivators also expressed their thoughts as it wasn't much different from Lian Zu's. The immediate realization that these arrived people were powerful enough to ignore the protective sword laws of the Jian family while directly influencing their authority over the Jian family's territory made the cultivators stare with expressions of extreme confusion and shock.
Distances away from the city, Gong Tieshan and Jian Mun hovered mid-air as they also watched the scene; both ancient descendants had serious and cautious expressions as they stared at Patrick's group, which was far in the distance, with scrutinizing gazes. Seeing a familiar figure sitting on the sun-like throne in the sky, Gong Tieshan tightly and ruthlessly clenched his fists as one could see his arms bleeding and healing simultaneously.
'After all this time of cowardly hiding, you finally made a lifetime mistake by showing yourself! I will personally uproot the living guts from your body and make you feed on it! I will brandish your head on a spike for many immortal cycles. I will make you pay for humiliating me thousand times over!'
Gong Tieshan evilly thought as his gaze on Patrick instantly changed to that of murderous. Without realizing it, a bloodthirsty and dominating aura unconsciously got released from his body, and even Jian Mun noticed it, calling him after with a suspicious gaze.
"Gong Tieshan?"
In the city, a cultivator suddenly shouted while pointing to the skies.
"Hey, aren't those the ancient elders of the Jian family!"
In the skies, more than fifty elderly human cultivators, mostly male, instantly appeared as they immediately surrounded Patrick and his entourage. They all had similar luxuriously gold, mixed with green attires; suspending behind each arrived elder were three swords constantly radiating with thick sword Qi.
Despite being surrounded, none of the six arrived entities expressed the slightest indication of fear or concern for their lives. It was as if they didn't even acknowledge the elders surrounding them. The fifty-plus elders floated on the same elevation as Patrick as they all expressed serious and unwelcoming faces. Then, the elders began activating their cultivated sword Laws and Daos as one could see multiple colored Qis gathering and radiating from the hands and bodies of the elders.
Suddenly, among the six beings, the tall and red-haired male figure, Raleigh, expressed a dissatisfied countenance as he spoke. His system interface simultaneously displays the activated skill after.
[Passive Skill: Sound Explosion; Creates a sound explosion at whatever scale the user pleases; can create the sound of a billion exploding galaxies and even universes depending on the user's energy input]
"Your puny existences are unworthy of receiving a gaze from His Primordial Godship and His Omni-Queens, let alone hover at equal elevations with them. Begone!"
Simultaneously finishing his words, the bodies of the fifty-plus elders instantly exploded like atomic bombs as their blood sprayed from the sky like rain, leaving only their heads floating below fairy Marine after, but still surrounding Patrick's group. Although Raleigh's voice had sounded calm and composed, it sounded like hundreds of millions of exploding atomic bombs inside the bodies of the elders, the unimaginable sound explosions making their Star Celestial ninth-stage cultivation bodies explode instantly.
Silence!
Total and complete silence permeated the entire realm as everyone, including the previously reserved cultivators, despairingly, with almost gouged eyes, stared in the sky while constantly replaying the unbelievable witnessed scene in their heads over and over. It was like pictures circling in the heads of the cultivators. Then, the silence broke as a female cultivator lost her wits and bellowed out.
"Arghhh!!! Devils! The Devils are here!-
Unable to even finish her scream, the female cultivator passed out. Like the female cultivator, thousands of low-ranking cultivators also burst out in panic as some couldn't even move their bodies due to their extreme shock and despair from witnessing the scene. Despite being strong-minded, some reserved cultivators had sweat dripping down their foreheads. Some even unconsciously stepped back a few paces, simply signifying how shocked they were.
Lian Zu's team couldn't bear the shock as both the females in their group passed out cold. He wasn't different from the others, as he also had sweat dripping down his face.
Even Gong Tieshan, who previously had an extremely murderous aura, instantly dispersed it as his mind wandered into a cautious calculative state, sweat dripping down his face. Jian Mun not being an exception either.
For higher dimensional beings like us, we can easily understand that Raleigh instantly ending the lives of over fifty Star Celestial ninth-stage cultivators is nothing but the expectation, as we know an infinite tiny amount of his capabilities. But for low fictional beings like the cultivators, such a scene was equivalent to judgment day. Their beliefs about the power structure were completely demolished, as they had witnessed over fifty peak stage Star Celestials instantly die by nothing but a sentence of one being.
And what was more despairing was that the powerful red-haired entity who easily caused such a scene wasn't even the strongest within his group. If such a being with the unimaginable power to easily and instantly kill peak Star Celestials with but a sentence is a subordinate, then one can't even begin to fathom how disgustingly powerful his master, the person sitting above all of them, is. Honestly, it is a truly terrifying thought.
But while everyone indulged in their fear and despair, two beings, one a familiar bare-footed old man and the other a ten-foot tall slim-bodied old man, appeared below fairy Marine as they stared up at Patrick's group. The slim-bodied old man wore a long, extravagantly designed white robe with numerous sword patterns etched on it. Despite being old, the man had short grey hair with a neatly trimmed beard. This newly described old man is the ancient master of the Ancient Jian family, Jian Jiu.
Looking up and seeing the many floating heads of his sub-servants, the ancient Jian master stretched out his left arm; the next moment, the space slightly trembled as the fifty-plus hovering severed heads dissipated in the atmosphere like dust. Like that, the heads completely vanished from the scene. Slowly retracting his arm and placing both hands behind his back, the ancient master spoke, his voice loud and heavy.
"When killing your enemies, ensure they are eradicated to the dust. Being complacent will only make others angry even more."
The old man spoke as he stared directly at Patrick, whose expression wasn't the least impressed despite all that had happened. But then, the ancient master watched as Patrick raised three fingers, speaking after.
"Three minutes and two seconds, that's how long it took you to welcome me. How do you plan to compensate for your unpunctuality and discourteousness?"
