Chapter 720: Discussing the Holy Land, Smashing the Starry Skies

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

In outer space, the Black Sword Dynasty’s war bastion was akin to a black cloud covering the universe. However, ordinary people couldn’t see it because it could turn invisible.

It was fifty kilometers wide and fifty kilometers long, a supersized spatial holy weapon of boundless power. It could easily tear space apart and traverse the cosmos.

Naturally, this kind of long-distance travel required terrifying amounts of energy.

In the war bastion, there were tens of thousands of black-robed men holding large swords. They seemed capable of slashing through the skies and destroying all life—the aura they were emitting was simply too terrifying.

One could very well imagine the scene where they would all raise their blades and slash out together. Even a powerful orthodoxy wasn’t enough to stand against the destruction of ten thousand swords!

“Interesting, it seems we might be able to catch a couple of big fish. Some of the small ones have taken the bait already.”

An old man in black robes was seated within a grand hall of this imperial war capital, his voice was old and hoarse.

Beside him, even quasi-saint hunters had to stand at attention and had no right to sit down.

Apparently, this black-robed elder was a saint of the dark hunters.

Additionally, there were a number of mysterious guests in the hall. Some were wearing ghostly bronze masks, while others were shrouded in primal chaos mist; all of them were saints.

This was a coalition between the commissioning party and the sky-piercers, waiting quietly for the big fish of the universe to come to the rescue. They wanted to deal a lethal blow and kill off people like Uncle Ming.

“Oh, I really hope the Sagemaster will come this time. If he does appear again, he won’t escape again because all the star passages have been sealed shut by experts. He’s going to face an eternal calamity!”

“Some golden body level trash are prying? Kill them!” the dark saint spoke.

The quasi-saint hunter vanished afterward.

There were numerous golden body level experts hiding in the distance outside of earth. There were even saints looking on from afar.

There were a number of golden body evolvers who weren’t peeking at all, but the dark saint had already learned that their ancestors had a good relationship with the ancient saints of earth. He was simply taking advantage of the situation to display his might.

This dark saint didn’t mind killing some people in order to satisfy his employer.

Pfft, pfft, pfft…

Five golden body level experts were slaughtered in a bloody massacre, slashed into two by a large blade.

“Creatures who walk too close to this planet, regardless of the past or the present, better stay quiet and reflect on yourselves.”

A cold voice was emitted from the war bastion. It was incomparably tyrannical and evil.

They felt secure with their backing because they had even taken the Sagemaster into consideration.

“Eh? An extra small fish has arrived. Kill it!”

At this moment, the dark saint spoke once more.

A single evolver was looking over from the void, vaguely emitting the aura of a quasi-saint. This was an existence soon to become a quasi-saint.

The others probably couldn’t sense him, but the dark saint and his commissioner were simply too powerful. They could sense everything clearly.

Soon, the quasi-saint hunter attacked. He rushed closed to the moon before materializing, slashing out suddenly with his sword and hacking off one of the man’s arms.

“You, a hunter!?” This near-quasi-saint evolver was both shocked and furious. He immediately recognized this member of Sky-Piercer upon seeing the insignia on his sleeves.

Pfft!

Unfortunately, no one replied to him. The next moment, he was struck once more and blood sprayed out of his chest. He defended furiously and then vanished by tearing a jade slip.

Apparently, that was a holy item made for fleeing, capable of bringing the owner across the galaxy in the blink of an eye.

“Trying to escape?” In the war bastion, the dark saint reached out with his large hand, blotting out the starry skies as he grabbed the prey back to the dark capital.

Everyone was astonished. A giant hand suddenly appeared near the moon and snatched this person away. It was simply too terrifying.

“Mm, you’re a descendant of the ancient demon ox race. Your ancestors had a deep relationship with the yak lineage of this planet. I heard you recently offered sacrifice to the yak saint of the earth on a certain planet. I really must teach you people a lesson this time.”

One of the bronze-masked saints spoke, his voice shaking the entire starry sky.

The dark saint smiled like an owl. “You can look for us if you need to assassinate that demon ox. I’ll personally take action for this kind of business.”

The experts in the starry skies were shocked. Sky-Piercer and their commissioners were absolutely unbridled and tyrannical.

Pfft!

In the end, people saw that demon ox crushed into a bloody mist.

“Ah…” This innocent expert didn’t even get the time to scream before he was annihilated in both body and soul.

“Anyone else who isn’t amenable to reason? Heh heh, you have to know that this planet is about to become prey to all races, the training grounds for young disciples. The natives here will either be captured or killed by the races. The most important thing is for people to recognize the situation. Otherwise, they’ll die like a dumb, muddled ghost.”

The dark saint said indifferently and casually.

The latter part of the night, Mount Eternal.

The silvery, hazy moon was hanging high in the sky.

Black yak was full of blood and could bear it no longer. Many of his bones had been broken, and there were many bloody holes on his body. He had no choice but to drink a part of the Innocuous Divine Physique’s blood medicine.

“We have been blocked in a place where even golden body level experts might die if they come,” Yellow Ox sighed.

At this moment, they had already charged through eight refinement regions and reached this place with great difficulty.

They had observed the stone tablet at the ninth trial. They knew they could pass it by calling for reinforcements, but that way, it would only be considered a pass. They wouldn’t be able to control Mount Eternal.

Apparently, this was a test of extraordinary significance.

“I’ll fight it out with you!” black yak roared.

After drinking the Innocuous Divine Physique’s blood, this body erupted with light and some ancient genes were awakened. The horns on his head grew larger, and a wave of ancient yak aura spread out from him.

“The Innocuous Divine Physique’s blood is so shocking!?” Black yak was astonished.

That was because he felt that this power and the seals appearing inside the blood belonged to the inheritance of the primordial yak race.

“It’s not the Innocuous Divine Physique’s blood that’s shocking, it’s one of the divine medicines he’s eaten that was too heaven-defying. It caused his body to transform and become a divine physique. Now that the medicinal components from Zhou Shang’s blood have been refined for you to ingest, you’ll naturally undergo a transformation,” said Ouyang Feng.

“I feel that my condition is the best it has ever been. Don’t tell me this is the Innocuous Divine Physique? Let’s go, kill our way in!” black yak cried.

Boom!

Half an hour later, black yak blocked a ten thousand kilogram meteorite for Yellow Ox and was sent flying with all his bones broken.

“Old Black!” Yellow Ox cried out. He ran over to support the ox, his face pale and full of worry.

This was place was simply too dangerous. There were weapons slashing through the air at all times and rocks blasting down from above. On the ground, there was a dense array of countless monsters charging at them.

In the distance, there was a palace hall surging with primal chaos energy. There was also a cave and a three-legged cauldron amidst the stones. The three of them wanted to kill their way over to that place.

“I’m fine, even if I die, we must obtain that three-legged demonic cauldron. I can’t fall now!” Black yak struggled up once more.

They charged forward together.

Soon afterward, they rushed up a high hill that was relatively safe.

However, a buzzing sound was transmitted continuously and the people began to tremble. In the end, they were all forced back into their true bodies.

Their trembling bodies couldn’t maintain their human forms.

Apparently, this was the demon race’s peerless restricted grounds expressing its might. It made sure that only pure-blooded demons could appear here. This was to measure of their bloodline and make sure creatures from other races couldn’t get here.

From now on, they would temporarily lose the ability to transform.

A bright moon hung in the air, illuminating with its silvery light, the land full of killing intent.

“This is the last battle, we’re only five 2500 meters from the demonic cauldron!” black yak said in a human voice. He climbed the hill and made up his mind to kill his way over.

Yellow Ox had turned into a little ox suffused with a golden luster. He popped open a cask of wine and began drinking heartily in an attempt to pump up his blood. He was about to risk it all in the last charge.

Ouyang Feng glanced askance at the distance. He was also ready to charge over.

“Kill!”

Yellow Ox jumped up and turned into a bolt of golden lightning. He flitted past the hill and dashed forward across the final distance, quickly approaching the three-legged cauldron.

Boom!

A nine-headed flood dragon appeared through the air. It was silver in color and thousands of meters tall, engulfed in a dazzling radiance. They were energy bodies capable of killing a golden body level expert.

This was a trial of life and death. To Yellow Ox’s group, this was a battle across one large realm, almost a hopeless situation.

“Moo!” black yak cried as he charged through the air like a beam of black light and followed suit.

“Grandpa Ouyang is coming!” The toad also leaped forward, spitting one mouthful of saliva after the next.

They couldn’t fight head-on against the nine-headed flood dragon formed of energy. Hence, they had to evade with all their might and were being chased about continuously through the air.

The path forward was blocked as the flood dragon took to the air.

At the same time, black ants appeared on the ground, each as big as a stallion. These were puppet soldiers of the hellish ants. They emitted frightening metallic sounds as they came into contact with the earth. Additionally, all of them flew into the air and surrounded the three frantically.

Next, a rain of falling stones tore through the skies and smashed down at the trio.

Boom!

The earth opened and flying swords and spears flew out amidst the rolling red lava.

This place had become a land of death!

The three of them had brought numerous secret treasures. That was because Chu Feng had obtained too many when he robbed the nine thousand evolvers outside of Mount Eternal. There were weapons, armor, and secret treasures piled up into mountains.

Currently, they were throwing them out without the slightest bit of hesitation, using them to block the incoming attacks.

However, the weapons were shattered and the armors were torn. The trio still received heavy injuries.

“Old Black!” Ouyang Feng cried out in alarm. Black yak had just blocked the attack of a hellish ant for him, nearly losing a limb in the process.

Bang!

Black yak roared as he jumped up and blocked an attack from the energy flood dragon that was coming for Yellow Ox. This time, a large chunk of his body was torn and deformed.

“Old Black!”

Yellow Ox’s eyes turned bloodshot!

Both he and Ouyang Feng knew that black yak’s cultivation wasn’t as strong as theirs. All he could do was use this kind of method to help them block lethal blows, preventing them from suffering more injuries.

“Old Black, we don’t want you to die for us. We must fight our way to the Yang Realm together in the future. We want to go and find that Ox Fairy for you. Don’t give up on yourself!” they shouted.

In the small world below Mount Zhijin of Jiang Ning.

Chu Feng gritted his teeth and shouted, “I’ll fight it out with this group of bastards from the outer realm!”

He had made up his mind to scatter the pollen wine from the arms refinement sacred tree onto the bronze coffin. That would allow Yaoyao’s grandfather to come into being and destroy the arrogant group outside!

In the depths of Mount Eternal, black yak’s mouth was full of bloody froth. He was on the verge of death as Ouyang Feng and Yellow Ox dragged him back to the hill.

Just now, black yak had blocked two terrifying attacks for his friends. In the end, his body was deformed and dozens of his bones had been broken.

“Innocuous Divine Blood Medicine!”

Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng poured the elixir into black yak’s mouth.

“Old Black, hold on!”

After a long while, black yak’s body made crackling sounds as he returned from death’s door once more. He stood up and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t die before getting that demonic cauldron!”

He stretched out a hoof and was just about to go and obstruct the flood dragon when he halted his steps and said, “These attacks seem to follow a pattern.”

“Huh!?” Yellow Ox was startled upon hearing this.

Ouyang Feng was also astonished and began recalling in detail.

In the end, the three said in shock, “It’s like a breathing technique!”

“That’s right, a part of the demonic holy ground’s ultimate breathing technique is hidden in those attacks. That’s a breathing technique rhythm!”

The three were delighted. They began pondering on it before launching an attack once more.

After four hours, the three of them were wounded to the point of death but managed to pass the trial. They dragged their tired bodies into the stone forest wherein lay the palace, primal chaos energy, and a three-legged cauldron!

“Kill those bastards from the outer realm!” Ouyang Feng, black yak, and Yellow Ox roared as they each grabbed a leg of the demonic cauldron!
