Chapter 1479
by post_apiChapter 1479: The Turmoil of the Sacred Mountain
When the elders arrived, the two disciples suddenly revived. Step by step, enduring excruciating pain, they crawled to the feet of the elders, crying bitterly and convulsing uncontrollably.
"Elder, save us! We still want to practice martial arts!" After finishing, the two disciples cried like wolves, their faces twisted to the extreme.
"Snap!"
A strong gust of wind swept through, accompanied by a holy and imposing pressure. Amidst the golden light, a faint footstep kicked hard on the chest of a disciple.
Meanwhile, another disciple struck by the force of the wind rolled under a large tree. Blood dripped from the corner of their mouth, their eyes bulging as if about to pop out of their sockets, their brows furrowed, gazing at Elder of the Sacred Mountain.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, the disciple who was kicked sprayed a mouthful of blood, their chest concaved into a terrifying angle. Their eyes popped out, their face turned purple, and they collapsed to the side, dead beyond measure.
"You are no match for others, yet you make so much noise! Unworthy of being a disciple of the Sacred Mountain!"
A voice of old age rose from within the robe and hat, causing ripples in the air like surging waves entering the ears of the disciples present. The disciples quickly activated their energy, covering their ears and expressing immense pain.
"Speak up now! Who injured you so severely?!" Another deep and forceful voice came from within the robe and hat.
"It’s… It’s Su Yi! Su Yi burned Master Cheng and destroyed our dantian!"
The crippled disciple under the big tree struggled, crawling on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing. Their body trembled like a sieve, too afraid to make a sound.
Two elder disciples in robes arrogantly unleashed a powerful force. The calm empty space suddenly became hazy and radiant. Their figures appeared like divine beings, causing even the gods to tremble for no reason.
"Hmph! You think you can get away, Su Yi! I haven’t settled the score with you in the Saint Martial Assembly, and now you dare to commit evil in the Chaos Realm! You’ve gone too far, and you shall die! I will make every member of the Overlord Sect pay!"
"Boom!"
With a thunderous shout, the elder disciple in robes burst into dazzling golden light. The qi around him seemed to harness the energy of heaven and earth. A beam of light shot out from his palm, dominating and fierce, directly enveloping the disciple under the big tree.
"You’re just a waste, you’re worthless! Practice martial arts in your next life!"
Instantly, a grand and mysterious aura spread throughout the valley. It carried an unparalleled divine might, as if capable of shaking the heavens and surging through the vast sky. The entire valley shook and trembled.
Under the erosion of the golden light, the two disciples were immediately turned into a pile of dust, scattered by the wind, with golden light filling the sky.
"Wow, the aura of the saint king is so powerful!" The three disciples behind were extremely moved, their faces displaying reverence as they stood still, not daring to make any movement. The immense pressure held them in its grip, making it difficult to breathe.
"Phew!"
After a while, the elder from Sacred Mountain, still filled with remaining energy, reluctantly retracted his absolute domain and the disciples could finally breathe again, feeling as if they had been granted amnesty. They cautiously gasped for air.
"Whoosh!"
A divine light, carrying a sharp breath, suddenly swept across the hill, causing everyone’s gazes to ripple slightly. The divine light filled the air, radiating a brilliant golden glow that grew increasingly dazzling, emitting a resplendent and sacred brilliance. The wind howled, and the space reverberated!
The empty space rumbled, as a thunderous sound rang out like a tempest, and a figure broke through the air, as if it had brought along a storm, arriving like a flash of lightning.
"How is this possible! This aura is so powerful!"
The two elder disciples raised their eyebrows in disbelief as they looked at the figure within the divine light. The figure slightly bowed, and the disciples behind him immediately knelt down upon seeing him, as if the Holy Lord had descended.
"We respectfully welcome the Saint Child!" Everyone present shouted loudly, their voices shaking the heavens, echoing back and forth through the valley.
The golden divine light slowly disappeared, revealing a handsome and calm man. His face was peaceful, surrounded by a faint golden glow, giving off a sacred and submissive feeling.
It was Xue Honglou, the Fifth Saint Child of the Sacred Mountain. He wore a robe with gold patterns, his black hair flowing like a stream in the dark blue night. His eyes were bright like stars, and his face was as beautiful as jade, with raised eyebrows.
As soon as Xue Honglou landed, he stood with his hands behind his back. His handsome face was like a painting of a son of a noble family, exuding dominance and sharpness.
Just like a saint king overlooking the world, a powerful pressure swept through the valley. His deep and bright eyes were filled with bone-chilling coldness.
"Saint Child, weren’t you only at the Ninth Level of the Yuan Void Realm? How did you make such a rapid progress and break through to the Second Level of the Yuan Emperor Realm?"
At around thirty years old, reaching the Second Level of the Yuan Emperor Realm already made Xue Honglou outstanding among all the Saint Children in history.
"I was stuck at a bottleneck, but I had some opportunities in the Garuda Secret Realm. I dedicated myself to cultivation in the Spirit Treasure Tower and unexpectedly made a breakthrough recently!" Xue Honglou said indifferently, his face showing no emotion.
The two elders still looked at Fifth Saint Child in astonishment. In just a few months, he had gone from the Ninth Level of the Yuan Void Realm to the Second Level of the Yuan Emperor Realm.
It was rumored that Fifth Saint Child didn’t have the longest cultivation time, but he had the highest comprehension among all the Saint Children. He was introverted but incredibly powerful, making him a terrifying presence.
"It’s time for Saint Child to improve, as the Sky Wind Ranked Battle is about to begin in the Sacred Mountain. I believe Saint Child will shine brightly in front of those ancient families in the six continents, three states, and one sea! Let the name of Sacred Mountain be known throughout the world!"
Hearing this, Xue Honglou raised an eyebrow, with a strange ripple in his eyes. Standing tall, he looked at the ruined scenery and blood-stained land in front of him, his expression remaining cold and unchanged.
He stood tall like a shimmering jade tree, coldly gazing at two elders and asking, "Elder Xu, what’s going on?"
His voice was icy and devoid of emotion, as if the two elders he had just killed were mere ants, nothing out of the ordinary.
"Su Yi has crippled their skills. We cannot let the disciples of the Sacred Mountain be disgraced. I will personally see them off. Saint Child, Holy Lord wishes to summon you for an important matter. We should return to the mountain as soon as possible!"
Elder Xu quickly changed the subject and when mentioning the Holy Lord, his voice trembled noticeably. His posture became even more respectful, with no hint of negligence.
"Su Yi! Is he really going to challenge the Sacred Mountain? He’s quite bold!"
After speaking, Xue Honglou didn’t become angry. Instead, he became even more interested. His deep eyes looked towards the sky, and his figure became hazy, exuding a divine and ancient aura.
His eyes shone like two suns, filled with a cold and ruthless chill. The surging energy divided like a tornado, accompanied by an astonishing ancient pressure.
"Apart from that, what has been happening in Chaos Realm recently?" Xue Honglou didn’t ask too much and continued to inquire.
Elder Xu replied, "During the retreat of Saint Child, Nine Star Valley was turned upside down by Su Yi, and both Yuan Zong Realm experts were killed by this little thief’s poisonous hands! Overlord Sect seems to have the momentum of the fourth force in Chaos Realm!"
