Chapter 157: Foreign In
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the land of the extreme north, where ice-cold snow blanketed the land all year round with chilling wind blowing through like blades, it was difficult for even those of the Core Formation Realm to survive.
The land was extremely barren. Only a few cultivators followed the path of the Frost Dao that ever stepped foot here to open up caves and practice their year-round cultivation there. Even so, gazing through thousands of miles, not a single human figure could be seen.
Beneath a 10,000-foot-high iceberg, a hidden space was opened up inside. There was a 100-meter round pool filled with blood that was engraved with complex engravings and inscriptions in it. The evil energy that was oozing out of the pool slowly accumulated and materialized into matter.
The blood never coagulated under the extremely cold temperature, nor was it frozen, but it stayed completely in liquid form.
There were a total of 81 crystal coffins, and each of them had a corpse in it. Through some method, absurdly terrifying power was sealed in each of these corpses, and even chains of orders were pinning them down.
At that moment, rays of light bloomed as the blood started to ripple into the skies. Waves of terrifying aura were released into the air, completely drowning the cavern.
The rippling blood continued vibrating as lines and lines of runes could be seen flowing out of it.
At the same time, the 81 crystal coffins were suddenly engulfed in flames, forming rays of bright light as they beamed into the blood pool. Blood red lines could be seen trickling out on the cavern walls.
The whole place turned into an incomparably terrifying land of evil in an instant.
It didn’t take long before the corpses in the crystal coffins, and the accumulated pool of blood disappeared completely, accumulating into a portal.
The portal was bloodshot red, emitting a terrifyingly bad omen.
After a short while, an extremely ugly creature with two heads on its shoulders emerged from the portal, its body radiating a suffocating aura of the evil spirits. It was followed by another skeleton being, whose bones were of a dark tint of gold, suppressing terrifying power in them.
“This really is another world, a whole new world! I smell the smell of human flesh, such wonderful blood, and such alluring souls! Motoro! My soul is howling, and my bones are trembling! I can hardly contain myself from going on a killing spree already!”
“No hurry! According to the legends, the ancient county kings left a legacy over here and also left the coordinates to this place, awaiting the right person to inherit their legacies. Once the place of inheritance is opened, that will be our cue to start this feast of flesh and blood. Stand down and wait for
orders. We need to wait for more people to arrive.”
“Alright, you wait here. I’ll go and inform them!
“Hurry!”
At Chuyang Peak
Standing in the sky on Chuyang Peak, Jiang Ming felt the roaring wind ravaging from the west. He glanced over, spanning tens of thousands of miles away, with his divine eyes and had a general glance of the situation there.
“Even an Imminent Immortal expert equipped with immoral weapons stood no chance against the Buddha formed by the boundless faith power. The Fo Sect is worthy of being the sect with the most hidden secrets, planning to eradicate the Six Paths of the Sky Devil directly completely.” Jiang Ming was
astonished.
In his eyes, among the many disciples of the devil sects, a portion of them was completely disintegrated under the Buddha’s luminance. Some were enlightened, while other big portions of them were turned from devils to saints.
This kind of enlightenment completely distorted a person’s mind and will, turning them into the most devout follower of Buddha. Even the devilish aura and power in their bodies were swiftly converted into the power of Buddha. It was truly mysterious and mind-boggling.
Only those experts of the Primal Spirit were still left standing, These disciples would either end up dead or enlightened if this went on. There were no other possibilities left.
“Exhausting every bit of their resources just to enlighten the devil sects. Although the cost was enormous, they were able to take over the devil sects’ resources, so it seems to be a fair trade. No, it should be a huge profit!”
At that very moment, Jiang Ming saw three Buddhist monks launching their attack on an Imminent Immortal devil disciple. Under the suppression of the great Buddha, the three easily enlightened their opponent. That Imminent Immortal expert did not even have the chance to self-destruct.
Jiang Ming’s eyes were locked onto a cultivator who was smacked down from the sky by the great Buddha. When he saw that cultivator taking out a relic, for some reason, it made him feel uneasy.
He quickly opened up the Human Path Records to look up this person’s information.
Name: Luo Batian
Race: Xiuluo Clan
Gender: Male
Cultivation Base: Imminent Immortal Realm
Background: Supreme Elder of the Xiuluomo Sect
Relationship: 0
Innate Ability: Immortal (Body of Shura)
Status: Originally of the human race, he had the blood of Asura flowing through his veins. He joined the Xiuluomo Sect and cultivated the techniques of the devils. He obtained great encounters that allowed him to reverse-engineer his body into the body of Shura, cleansing away the bones and blood of
the human race and ending his journey as a human.
With an incomparably strong aptitude, he fought his way and became the Holy Son of the Xiulomo Sect. He had wild ambitions to unite the six great devil sects and arranged his illegitimate son, Luo Shali, into the Yinmo Sect. Luo Shali became the Holy Son of the Yinmo Sect and later became the Sect
Master. He was at the Imminent Immortal Realm when Jiang Ming killed him.
‘When he became the Sect Master, he secretly killed off countless experts, preparing a god-defying formation to turn his Shura body into the monstrous Asura Demon Body.
He knew of the great secret that the six great devil sects were established by a few Sky Devils who descended into this realm tens of thousands of years ago. These six great devil sects slowly turned into the Sky Devil Sect. These original founders left a great formation onto the coordinate of the realm that
would be activated when an Immortal God descended or if the devil sects were about to be annihilated.
‘When he stepped into the Imminent Immortal Realm, he got the news that the great formation was ready and prepared a blood pool, collecting 81 corpses of the Extreme Path Realm tens of thousands of years ago. These corpses were sealed with boundless energy, ready to be evoked at any time.
Only the Imminent Immortal experts of the devil sects knew his secret.
After countless planning and scheming, he got ahold of the relic that could evoke the great formation and discovered its exact location. He also speculated that there must be a huge secret hidden in this Qianyuan Continent. After countless investigations with no results, he made plans to scheme and
collect the books from various Sacred Lands to uncover more.
Feeling that the time was ripe, he took the opportunity of the Yinmo Sect’s plan to take over Eastern Region and invited Long Yuan and the Submerged Dragon Immortal Union into the alliance as a cover to secretly take down the Fo Sect in Western Region. He planned on using the power of faith the Fo
Sect had accumulated over the hundreds of millions of years to forge his Asura Demon Body, allowing him to reach a realm that was never attained by anyone before. Even when he was enlightened, he wouldn’t be just a small fry over there.
Unexpectedly, he fell into the traps of the Fo Sect like a tiger waltzing into a cage. It was even more unexpected when he discovered that the Fo Sect could burn through the boundless power of faith to form a Great Buddha that could enlighten anything and everything, It really caused his plans to fall
through completely.
He also understood that once he was enlightened, he would no longer be himself but merely a puppet to be manipulated by others. Yet, if he didn’t want to be enlightened, it would only mean death. Since he was dying anyway, he planned to drag the whole world down with him and used the relic to
activate the great formation without hesitation.
As the gates open, chaos follows.
Upon reading his Status, Jiang Ming was shocked to think that the six devil sects had such a hidden last card.
In the past, Jiang Ming had also killed a devil expert who was possessed by the Demon King’s Spiritual Mind seed. He was now certain that the devil sects originated from the inheritance of beings from an even higher realm. Perhaps that was also why it was impossible to eradicate these devil sects
completely.
‘Unfortunately, the location of this formation is not stated in the Status…’ Jiang Ming sighed helplessly.
If he knew where the coordinate was, he could still rush over to destroy it. Even if there were devil experts who crossed over from another world, he could just kill them all. Yet, he had no idea where the place was, so there was nothing he could do.
Jiang Ming continued looking through the Status of a few other Imminent Immortal experts, but none of them knew about it.
At this point, Luo Batian had already burned himself to death as all the threads of karma completely disappeared.
“Senior Brother, anything wrong?” Five Elemental Linglong, who was snuggled around him, asked.
“Great catastrophe is coming down on our world,” Jiang Ming simply explained.
He felt a little admiration for Luo Batian. This person had had the body of a human-devil but managed to remove flesh and blood of his human side, reverse-engineered into the body of Shura, and later improved to become the Asura Demon body.
Putting those aside, he had become the Holy Son of the Xiuluomo Sect and even placed his illegitimate son into the Yinmo Sect.
The result?
Both father and son had become Holy Sons and later the Sect Masters and finally Imminent Immortal Supreme Elders.
This was not just exceptional. This was absurdly superb!
Jiang Ming even thought to himself that if it were not for him, this father and son duo might have been able to unite the six devil sects and revive the glory of the Sky Devil Sect.
The Yinmo Sect wouldn’t have been destroyed if it weren’t for him. With how the current situation had unfolded, Luo Shali could have simply led the experts of the Yinmo Sect over, promising them great benefits with inspiring speeches to form an alliance with Long Yuan and the Submerged Dragon
Immortal Union to launch their attacks on Western Region. He could have rescued the five devil sects and even completely damaged the Fo Sect.
“Senior Brother, what kind of catastrophe?” Linglong asked.
“Foreign devils induced catastrophe,” answered Jiang Ming
“Devil catastrophe?” Linglong’s pupil shrank as she looked over to the west. She thought for a moment, and there was a flash of a wry smile on her face.
‘What’s coming really came eventually, just that it was too early this time.
Fortunately, the Senior Brother in this life had obtained who knew what kind of immortal encounters and was now very overwhelming. Maybe he would be safe and sound this time.
Jiang Ming did not notice anything unusual about Linglong as he hugged her and jumped down.
Xi Yao had already come over to the rooftop when she saw the two land near her and quickly asked, “Brother Jiang, what’s going on?”
“Foreign devils induced catastrophe,” Jiang Ming said solemnly. “You should send news back to your sect. Just say that devil sects have been destroyed, but it opened a portal that connects us to the demons outside our realm. I think they’ve already descended. Let the Riyue Sect inform the other Sacred
Lands to be prepared and look out for the portal’s location.”
“Portal? Foreign devils induced catastrophe!?” Xi Yao’s face changed rapidly, “Brother Jiang, is this piece of news accurate?”
“Yes, it is!”
“But… But no one will believe me when I pass back such a piece of news!”
“Just tell them that the person looking over Linglong was the one who got the news. Spread the news! If they don’t believe, then so be it!”
“Alright!” Xi Yao smiled bitterly. Without turning over her back against the two, she took out a mirror and started writing the news using her consciousness as a pen, sending the news back to the Riyue Sect..
