The Sixth Peak of Seven Blood Eyes had been transformed by Master Sixth into a huge fortress.
Other than Master Sixth, no one knew exactly how many magical devices were hidden in the Sixth Peak, or what exactly the fortress was capable of, as this was the first time it had been deployed. Its might was not fully on display, but when it disappeared via greater teleportation, all onlookers were shocked to the core.
A greater teleportation was a divine ability that far surpassed a minor teleportation. It was capable of a much greater range, though at the cost of immense dharma force. What was more, it could only be imagined how much dharma force was required to teleport an entire mountain fortress.
In the blink of an eye, the huge mountain appeared in the air far, far, away over the Forbidden Sea. Beneath it, the sea roiled and countless sea beasts looked up, trembling. None of them dared come up to the surface. The merchant ships were like leaves on the water. The cultivators on those ships looked up at the gigantic mountain, and their expressions were that of astonishment.
Even being on the mountain, Xu Qing was also shocked. Next to him, the Captain looked left and right, his eyes glittering.
Standing ahead of them was Master Sixth, holding his alcohol gourd. His face was grim, and his blood seemed to be boiling. As he directed the Sixth Peak forward, thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning shot down like silver snakes.
“The Seastars have a small population,” Master Sixth said coolly, “especially when compared to Seven Blood Eyes. They’re not even as numerous as the Merfolk. They only have seven Gold Core cultivators, and I already killed three of them. That leaves four.
“The strongest is the Seastar patriarch, who’s in the great circle of Gold Core. However, I suspect he might have broken through secretly, and has been keeping his true level hidden. The other three are in the early Gold Core level. That includes the Seastar chieftain, who’s the son of the patriarch.
“The fact that such a minor species would dare to provoke Seven Blood Eyes, as well as other species with powerful chosen, hints that something else is going on here. Therefore, be careful, Xu Qing. It’s possible... that the Seastars are keeping something very powerful hidden.”
Xu Qing nodded silently.The Captain didn’t say anything. In fact, because Master Sixth and Xu Qing weren’t paying attention to him, he stepped over to the face of the mountain and rubbed it thoughtfully. From the gleam in his eyes... it seemed he was really fond of it.
Before the Captain could take much time to examine the mountain, deep rumbling sounds echoed out as the entire peak underwent a second greater teleportation. This time... it reappeared in the air above the Seastars’ homeland.
They occupied a single island that lay roughly between Seven Blood Eyes and the Merfolk Isles. Looking at it from above, it resembled a huge starfish, although the truth was that the Seastars had built it that way from the ground up. It wasn’t actually some immense living starfish. There were five major cities, most of the buildings were made from coral. Even more unique was the fact that Seastar Island was covered with coral trees! They were massive, and at night, they emitted a five-colored glow. During the daytime, though, they were gray. There were buildings constructed on the huge coral trees as well.
The population of the island seemed to be in the hundreds of thousands. Having benefited from the protection of Seven Blood Eyes for many years, they had not suffered any difficulties, and had prospered greatly.
The sudden appearance of the Sixth Peak obviously attracted immediate attention. Although the Seastars didn’t recognize the Sixth Peak in its fortress state, there were many of their top experts who realized it emanated the fluctuations of Seven Blood Eyes techniques. Because of that, the moment the mountain peak appeared, a stream of divine will emerged from the island.
“To what do we owe the honor of your visit, Seven Blood Eyes? Whichever senior member has come, please forgive us for any breach of decorum.”
The person sending out the divine will was an old man in a five-colored daoist robe. He was all smiles, but it was obvious he was concerned as he floated up into the air and clasped hands in the direction of the Sixth Peak.
The only response he got was the flick of a finger from the furious Master Sixth. Then the entire Sixth Peak rumbled and dropped down toward the island like a huge sealing stamp. Immense pressure preceded it, crushing down onto the Seastars, causing numerous mountains on the island to crumble. The land quaked, and massive crevices snaked out everywhere.
The old man who had come out to receive them was none other than the Seastar patriarch. Face falling, he said, “What’s the meaning of this, Master Sixth?”
“What’s the meaning of it? You tell me, you bastard!!” Master Sixth’s voice dripped with uncontrollable killing intent as he floated out to meet the Seastar patriarch. Then he reached out with a vicious grasping motion.
Heaven went dark, the stars dimmed, and the sky fractured!
The Seastar patriarch had no way to evade the move. Master Sixth’s hand latched onto his head and crushed down viciously. What resulted was a boom as the patriarch’s head exploded.
However, as he exploded, a star-shaped blood shadow flew out, then formed into a humanoid shape off into the distance. Coughing up blood, he said, “Master Sixth, this must be a misunderstanding!”
Master Sixth looked coldly at the reshaped Seastar patriarch.
“So you have been hiding the level of your cultivation base. You broke through to Nascent Soul. Well, that doesn’t matter. It just makes things interesting.... You let me suffer for years after losing my son, so I’ll return the favor by letting you watch as your ancestral land and all your people are destroyed.”
With that, he performed a right-handed incantation gesture and shoved his hand out. The Sixth Peak rumbled even louder as it continued to drop rapidly toward Seastar Island. It didn’t land on the surface, though. Instead, it stopped about 3,000 meters overhead, whereupon it sent streams of blue fire down. They looked like rivers of blue flame, instantly incinerating countless buildings, and provoking bloodcurdling screams everywhere.
“Be assimilated! I’ll assimilate your species, your lands, your blood! I’ll assimilate all Seastars and turn you into a candle that will burn day and night in front of the tomb of my beloved son!!”
Master Sixth’s eyes were bloodshot and full of madness as he waved his hand, causing row upon row of magical devices to appear on the Sixth Peak. And when they rumbled to life, countless beams of light shot toward Seastar island. At the same time, the surrounding puppets thrummed with killing intent as they charged forth to unleash slaughter. The Sixth Peak disciples and elders also descended to fight.
Seeing all this, the Seastar patriarch’s expression turned grim. He wanted to do something to stop the attack, but before he could, Master Sixth attacked him. Yet again, blood sprayed out of the Seastar patriarch’s mouth. But then, a flicker of silver flashed through his eyes, and his energy levels surged, creating a tempest around him as Master Sixth closed in again.
As that happened, Xu Qing and the Captain leaped off of the Sixth Peak and shot toward the ground below.
Xu Qing landed on one of the coral trees. The gray coral couldn’t withstand the force and collapsed beneath him. Xu Qing, his eyes bloodshot and pulsing with killing intent, dropped down to the Seastar people below.
The Captain kept pace with him. He could sense the vicious aura that surrounded Xu Qing, and knew that only blood and slaughter could get rid of it.
The Seastar people weren’t important to the Captain. But because Master Seventh had entrusted this matter to him, and because of his relationship with Xu Qing, he really wanted Xu Qing back to normal. As a result, he was only here for one reason. To show support for Xu Qing.
“Kill them, little Junior Brother,” the Captain murmured, his eyes glittering madly. “In this chaotic world, slaughter is the only way to truly vent. I went through something like this before. If you don’t carry out a few slaughters like this, no one will respect you.”
Up ahead, Xu Qing was already carrying out that slaughter. He had lit his life flames, and his iron skewer circled around him. He attacked anything that moved, causing massive rumbling sounds to echo out.
All of a sudden, a Foundation Establishment Seastar appeared in front of him. Before the cultivator could react, Xu Qing viciously slammed into him, causing him to explode. As blood and gore rained down, Xu Qing noticed a tiny silver-colored bug wriggling out of the flesh. After merely glancing at it, he raced in the direction of the Seastars’ ancestral temple, where the Seastar chieftain was currently seated cross-legged while concocting a pill.
While on the way to the island, Master Sixth had already explained what was to come. Master Sixth would focus his revenge on the Seastar patriarch, and would also assimilate the Seastar people as a whole.
Xu Qing’s target was the chieftain, who was the one who had given the order for Grandmaster Bai to be assassinated.
An entire continent burned inside of Xu Qing as he raced toward the ancestral temple.
Blue fire rained down from above, destroying buildings and causing countless Seastars to let loose agonized shrieks. The ground shattered and then started to melt from the intense heat. Blue flames began to gather in spots of low elevation, as if to refine the earth itself. Numerous Sixth Peak puppets, driven by Master Sixth’s will, carried out slaughter, joined by the Sixth Peak disciples. Seastar Island was in pure chaos. Coral buildings shattered, and of the five cities on the island, three were already engulfed in flames.
As Xu Qing raced forward, a group of Seastar cultivators appeared in front of him to block his path. He waved his right hand, and Golden Crow Assimilates Myriad Spirits instantly turned them into corpses. He didn’t slow down at all. The golden crow followed him, its tail trailing fire like a phoenix. At the same time, he was surrounded by a black cloud of beetles that resembled a vicious face. His shadow was with him, as was his iron skewer.
Xu Qing looked like a god of death come to the mortal world, unstoppable, ready to kill everything!
