Chapter 379: Here’s to a Long Life. Here’s to the Glorious Dead
And here came Yang Hun’s fifth arrow. It pierced the skies and shot among stars.
One could only see Dark Star Lord spinning his Heaven-drawn Halberd.
His halberd was blown away, but the wolf fang arrow only leaned a fraction off course. But the arrow wasn’t finished. It nailed Dark Star Lord’s shoulder into the ground.
Chen Ming’s though, This ought to do it.
Chen Ming sent a message to Yang Hun through the mask, “That should do.”
Yang Hun released his stance while leaving Bu Liuhen to fetch the five arrows for him. Since Sire Faceless said so then that’s that. Yang Hun recovered his remaining arrows and left the star in silence.
Chen Ming turned to the nailed Dark Star Lord on the floor, If he was mounted, who knows, he might have had what it takes to handle Yang Hun’s eight arrows.
But his limit was the fifth for now; the next one would have taken his life.
Chen Ming said, “Your worth isn’t much…”
Dark Star Lord paled, Sire Faceless’ request wasn’t excessive, letting me face five arrows. He laid frozen with dread.
Chen Ming continued, “Even so, you came out alive, enough to pass as my Blade. Henceforth, I shall permit you to call upon my name!”
Chen Ming turned his dull voice to Bu Liuhen, “Treat him and await my orders.”
With the last word, he vanishes. As a full-fledged Faceless, he had to keep up an air of mystery. Particularly now when his power wasn’t up to par.
With the passing of six years, the Galaxy shook with countless conflicts.
Inevitable’s meeting was once again assembled. Chen Ming took his seat. This time, Inevitable didn’t mince words, “I’ve given you the Soul Beads. Did you receive them?”
All nodded.
Inevitable laughed, spreading his arms like a Devil Gate opened its doors, “After a long century of silence, darkness is stirring. When it shall descend, everyone will tremble!”
“Let us toast for the slaughter to come!”
Inevitable raised his glass.
The Faceless followed his example, “A toast to the slaughter to come!”
Inevitable held his glass up high, “Here’s to a long life! ”
“Here’s to a long life!”
Inevitable drank the scarlet wine. Despite illusory, it was part of their ceremony.
Chen Ming and the others did the same.
Inevitable continued, “This toast is for the disaster to come!”
“This toast is for the disaster to come!”
“Here’s to the glorious dead!”
“Here’s to the glorious dead!”
“Life and death are ruled by fate, while riches are granted by Heaven! Neither of us can control life and death, only what happens before our final moment! This final toast is to ourselves!”
“Life and death are ruled by fate, while riches are granted by Heaven! Neither of us can control life and death, only what happens before our final moment! This final toast is to ourselves!”
One toast for long life, one for the glorious dead, only to have the last for themselves!
Inevitable shattered his glass, “Go, you all represent fear. The ban on war is now lifted. Everyone in this world is your prey!”
Nr. 6’s look at Chen Ming was filled with many implications, “Nr. 5, I have a great gift for you. You better not disappoint!”
Chen Ming eyed him, That havoc-wreaking Gold Immortal must be his man. Sending a single man didn’t speak of his contempt of Chen Ming, but of his confidence.
Chen Ming chuckled, “As it’s a gift, I won’t ask or I’ll miss the surprise.”
Nr. 6 was taken aback, laughing, “You can be certain it’s a huge one! You’re bound to like it!”
Inevitable disregarded the two’s scuffle and dismissed the meeting.
Obsidian Temple.
Feng Lu and the other stars’ immortals watched with dread at the amassing immortal beasts.
If not for anything else, at least from their sheer number!
In the past decade, Yan Mountain was relentless in its campaign on the savage beast stars to capture immortal beasts. In the first year, each Yan Mountain Lord captured a beast for their own, having a total of two. In the second year, dragging back two more immortal beasts was a child’s play.
In such a manner, Yan Mountain harvest over this decade should reach an astronomical number in immortal beasts. But that wasn’t plausible obviously. There were other factors involved when going on an immortal beast hunting spree. Like the more they nabbed, the further in they had to venture.
Although Yan Mountain’s disciples relied on plenty of teleportation arrays to cut this deficit, it brought with it an unforeseen consequence.
It wasn’t just once when a Yan Mountain hunting party stumbled upon the Sky Whale, a Gold Immortal equivalent.
Even with this detrimental factor slowing down their hunt, Yan Mountain disciples still snatched more than fifty thousand immortal beasts.
As for the Nine Frozen Springs on the Scarlet Tide Continent, it was now bone dry of Soul Returning Water. The Yin Yang Harmony Pill resulted from this venture increase their limit to ten immortal beasts each.
But for safety’s sake, Chen Ming still came to the decision of taking the rest twenty thousand immortal beasts in battle. Even if running amok, these immortal beasts are still good for a frontal charge.
Chen Ming had three thousand disciples, but not all of them were sent on this campaign as he couldn’t lay bare all of Yan Mountain. And so, Chen Ming decided to wrap it up using only male disciples…
With the horde of immortal beasts landing, shock spread to the crowd of immortals. Just what kind of monster is this Yan Mountain? How did it gain so many immortal beasts in such a few years?
Regardless of location, the Obsidian Star now sported an immortal beast at every corner.
Feng Lu muttered, “What is Yan Mountain planning?”
An immortal said, “Tens of thousands of immortal beasts are gathering. What are they going to do with them?”
“So this is the reason behind their constant ventures into the savage beast stars. We knew they can rear beast, but never to such extent!”
“Allbeast Yan Mountain!”
“They can’t be thinking of rebelling, right?”
“What, a revolt?”
“No way, there’s no way that’s going to happen.”
