Chapter 1226: Fear!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Lord Chuangshang, what is the matter with you? Was there an accident?” A heavily bearded strange race looked at Chuangshang Beidao in great concern.
“Goodness, the opponent has such a powerful expert!” Chuangshang Beidao said in a solemn voice. It was only then that he finally got rid of that suffocating feeling in his chest.
“Powerful expert? Are you referring to one that is of the same level as that old scoundrel Gu Han? Even if the opponent is an expert, he can’t possibly be stronger than Lord Chuangshang, right? Even the number one expert of the Xuan Xuan Continent, Gu Han, may not be your match!” That person asked curiously, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
This person was called Gaoqiao Tuiku and was a second level Supremacy Enduring Heavens, which was the equivalent of a third level Saint Venerable. He was one step away from entering the realm of a fourth level Saint Venerable.
This person had always regarded Chuangshang Beidao as his idol. In his heart, Chuangshang Beidao was an unrivalled existence!
Which was why he was so carefree when he asked this question.
“The number one expert? Gu Han is no longer the number one expert of the Xuan Xuan Continent. At least, Gu Han is no match for that person just now. Because I’m also not his match!” When Chuangshang Beidao said this, his face was as black as charcoal.
“Ah?! What?!” Gaoqiao Tuiku was stunned, his jaw dropped wide open.And this shrill cry had came from his female counterpart.
“There’s someone like this in this world? Where is he?” The other ten people also asked in shock.
If even the publicly acknowledged number one expert of the strange races Chuangshang Beidao had to admit his inferiority, it could be seen how unfathomably powerful this person is!
“That person is ahead, in the direction I had looked at earlier. About fifty li away! I met his gaze earlier!” Chuangshang Beidao’s face was extremely grim. Even until now, he still did not dare to look in that direction again. That bout of sharp pain was truly unforgettable. It was as if his soul had been hurt. This caused him to completely lose the will to compete!
But Chuangshang Beidao could distinctly sense that that person was still standing where he was, proud and aloof, observing the group of them over here with a look of disdain!
His gaze sharp, incisive and chilling!
After hearing Chuangshang Beidao’s explanation, all of them mustered their greatest eye power and looked in the extreme direction that Chuangshang Beidao had looked in earlier.
“Be careful everyone! Don’t meet his gaze rashly!” Chuangshang Beidao was shocked. If he himself could not withstand against the enemy, the consequences would be dire if anyone else had engaged in a similar battle of minds.
The rest quickly snapped back to their senses and turned away. Every single one of them felt as if they had seen a lone, aloof white figure standing in the air!
Gaoqiao Tuiku was slower than the rest by a beat. But it was because this fellow was slow in his reactions and insistent on getting a good view. Hoping to catch a good look at the person who had defeated his own idol earlier.
He had just seen a white figure in the night sky and was about to focus his gaze on the face. And Chuangshang Beidao’s warning had just came suitably timed. Gaoqiao Tuiku had wanted to turn his head away when he realized the other person seemed to have noticed his peeping, shifting his gaze slightly...
Just a small absent-minded shift in gaze, and this chilling gaze instantly met with Gaoqiao Tuiku’s! He did not have the chance to dodge it!
An immense spiritual sense came shooting over like a bolt of lightning across the great distance!
Gaoqiao Tuiku suddenly felt his mind go blank. In that single look, he felt like he had seen endless murderous intent forming into ice-cold streams that went gushing into his mind!
There was an indescribable wave of pain, his vision blurred and it seemed as if he had suddenly seen another world in his mind!
Mountains of corpses and countless of skulls were laughing sinisterly at himself. White, eerie skeletons and their boney arms were reaching towards him! Their aim was his throat, as if they want to strangle him alive!
Gaoqiao Tuiku could even feel that cold, chilling sensation...
There were oceans of blood, waves surging and swirling. There were countless, countless, grotesque human faces flying out of the ocean of blood, splattering blood everywhere, as they flew towards him with ghastly screams!
Gaoqiao Tuiku felt a wave of fear and terror that could no longer be suppressed. He let out an inhuman shriek as his entire body quaked from head to toe, with none of the air of a Saint Venerable or Supremacy Enduring Heavens. With a sway of his body, he fell out of the air.
Chuangshang Beidao had the fastest reaction. With a stretch of his arms, he had already grabbed onto Gaoqiao Tuiku. He asked solemnly: “What did you see? Why are you this terrified!”
“Blood! Blood! Blood everywhere! And endless numbers of skeletons... wanting to kill me...” Gaoqiao Tuiku’s body shivered, an empty look in his eyes. His voice was filled with fear as he flailed his arms about, as if he was still trying to fend against something from the other world...
The other experts couldn’t help but feel a chill looking at his empty eyes that seemed to be connected to another world!
Gaoqiao Tuiku was definitely not an incompetent person. He was one of the stronger experts of the Saint Venerable. With the strength of a third level Saint Venerable!
That was a third level Saint Venerable, ah! A second level Supremacy Enduring Heavens!
An expert like this was frightened to this state from a single look from the opponent!
Then how terrifying was the person they’re facing?!
Chuangshang Beidao was extremely decisive and smacked Gaoqiao Tuiku, transferring his pure spiritual sense into it. It was like a stream of clear spring water being infused into Gaoqiao Tuiku’s head. He instantly regained his eyes and snapped out of it.
But Gaoqiao Tuiku’s eyes still darted about, refusing to look up at the direction of Jun Mo Xie!
A single clash in gaze had caused this Supremacy Enduring Heavens to be frightened out of his wits!
What sort of might was this?!
“This person’s strength is still a mystery and may have already surpassed the boundaries of what we are able to handle.” Chuangshang Beidao glanced over at that carefree white figure with a look of worry as he let out a low sigh. His voice filled with endless disappointment.
When he went to visit his old opponent Gu Han a few days ago, Chuangshang Beidao was confident!
Because from what he sensed, there was no longer anyone from the continent who was his match!
Because his only enemy, Gu Han, had only not improved in his strength, but deproved greatly and was significantly lower than himself in cultivation!
If even the number one expert of the Xuan Xuan Continent wasn’t powerful enough, then what other resistance can Xuan Xuan Continent come up with!
The outcome of this battle was practically decided. The Divine Sun was extremely confident of their victory!
There was a leader from Tian Fa Forest on the Continent’s side. That beautiful woman may be strong, with cultivation of a Saint Monarch, but she was still weaker than Gu Han, and would definitely not be able to be his match anytime soon!
And one more important thing was that the two Saint Monarchs Xia Chang Tian and Ji Bo Wen who had guarded the Pillar of Heavens Mountains and silently vanished without a trace...
The ‘vanish’ was not referring to their tracks or current whereabouts. It was a gut feeling amongst experts. Xia Chang Tian and Ji Bo Wen may have ‘vanished’ for eternity due to some particular reason!
So when comparing the strength of the higher ups of both sides, the strange races was confident of being in the absolute advantageous position. And their forces also had the absolute advantage in numbers. So there was no other reason for the loss of this battle!
Because of all these, Chuangshang Beidao was full of confidence!
But Chuangshang Beidao had never imagined that in a single day, his dreams were all shattered. A heaven-defying super expert had suddenly appeared! This person’s appearance may not be enough to change the entire situation, but it was enough to steer the outcome into an unpredictable one!
This person’s existence and caused all of the strange races’ plans to be ruined. If they forced an attack, it’d require a joint attack from all six Saint Monarch experts to have a chance of slaying this person! With the mental preparation of perishing with him!
And even if they made preparations for such a sacrifice, it was still a ‘chance’, an outcome that could not be determined!
Chuangshang Beidao was filled with extreme bitterness.
But what he didn’t know was that there were flaws in his estimation. In certain aspects, he had overestimated Jun Mo Xie. Similarly, in certain areas, he had underestimated him!
Jun Mo Xie’s current cultivation was similar to Chuangshang Beidao and was in fact slightly inferior. But Jun Mo Xie’s body was in a peculiar state where his spiritual power was stronger than his cultivation!
Furthermore, with the support of the Hongjun Pagoda, the limits of Young Master Jun’s spiritual power had already reached a level that could defeat Zhan Lun Hui! And most importantly, Jun Mo Xie carried all of his killing aura along from his previous life! Which was why he had such an incisive gaze!
The previous world may not have a similar hierarchy to this world, but the Jun Xie in his previous life was the King of Assassins that was acknowledged by the entire world! How could the killing aura of a King of Assassins that stood at the peak be ordinary?
A warlord may not be able to compare to a nation in terms of his strength and troops, but his own presence and bearing may be comparable to that of a Monarch! This was the supreme presence of standing at the top of a small world!
And Jun Mo Xie had brought all of this along with him! Even if he was nothing, the moment this killing aura was released, he was still a King!
Even if he only had the cultivation of a ninth level Xuan, the moment this killing aura appeared, he was still the Evil Monarch!
Still the King of Darkness!
