Divine Brilliance

Chapter 545: Monstrous Hate

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“I hate this! A monstrous hate!”

At the Mysterious Cloud Spiritual House, a vengeful energy charged up into the heavens! It gathered huge amounts of souls across thousands of miles.

The entire Pinnacle Space Dome Foundation could no longer support the structure, and several large cracks formed.

At the center of the sky, Tiandou and Liehe had blood flowing from all of their orfices. They kept smiling dumbly, continuing to inject their soul power into the golden tray almost crazily. They squeezed their entire bodies dry, so that not even a bit of essence energy remained.

The two of them didn’t know if Zong Shou would be able to last under Shenxiao’s hands. They only knew that at this moment, it was good if they were able to make this Pinnacle Space Dome Formation last longer. They had to go all out to block that lightning element spiritual energy.

The black clouds in the sky surged, and millions of lightning bolts slashed down. The strikes were far stronger than grade-9 lightning spells.

Shenxiao’s soul appeared twenty thousand feet in the air. Numerous purple lightning currents were wrapped around his body. Using the lightning, he had crafted a thousand-foot sword!

The aura was still rising, and his mood seemed to have became more and more frenzied. His spell power also seemed to be endless.

Zong Shou was silent. His eyes were half closed and he was quietly storing energy. One after another, he manipulated the energy patterns between the Blood Cloud Cavalry. He changed the structure, causing the power of the thousands of cavalrymen to merge into one, bringing out all the strength in the bodies of four thousand two hundred and fifty people.

Especially the power of those two hundred grade-5 spirit masters within the Blood Cloud Cavalry. He began to mix their soul power with the internal energy of all the others.

If it was before, he would definitely have been unable to achieve this. However, at this moment, he had complete control over his ability to combine the spiritual and martial arts into one, and he was very easily able to start the merger.

The maniacal and arrogant laugh of Shenxiao continued.

“Good, good, good! Dead, all dead, they are all wiped out. How great that of the entire sect, I am the only one left. Master, ancestors, Shenxiao is useless! Seven thousand years of hard work by Mysterious Cloud Sect, and it is all gone. Hehe! Zong Shou, you brat! Do you know that destroying someone’s path will create a life and death hatred?”

His cold gaze stayed on Zong Shou, and without waiting for Zong Shou to reply, his face turned vicious and ugly. His voice was extremely dark and cold, as though he was gritting his teeth, and sounded like it came from the depths of hell.

“Even if the four oceans and five lakes dashed your body into pieces today, it wouldn’t quench my hatred! I won’t let you die just like this! I will skin your entire body, and then chop your meat off bit by bit to feed to that wild dog. I curse your soul to be be burnt by intense flames for the rest of your life!”

He slashed down furiously with the sword. The thousand-foot purple sword suddenly swelled up to ten thousand feet, and smashed down onto Zong Shou. Numerous energy currents shot in all directions, and dust and sand flew up, causing all nearby living beings to be destroyed.

The Blood Cloud Cavalry behind Zong Shou were all drowned. Then, a halberd light suddenly rose up into the air. A yellow glow covered it, turning into the shape of a dragon! The strength it had was actually no weaker than that vast lightning ball.

This was the merging of the Nine True Dragon Swords into the halberd technique, all the while still gathering vital energy.

This Halberd— the Yellow Blood Halberd!

The lightning struck the yellow light and spread all over, before being directed into the ground.

The earth energy gathered up by the halberd intent was forcefully blown apart when it clashed with the blood glow. Its strength already greatly reduced.

With a loud explosion, all of heaven and earth shook. Mysterious Cloud Mountain was close to collapse.

Luckily, the combatants stood in a spiritual house, and the mountain peak only shook a little before it recovered.

When that haze of spiritual explosions and lightning had totally dissipated, four thousand Blood Cavalry soldiers stood, perfectly unscathed.

As for the wings behind Zong Shou’s back, they had vastly increased in length.

Shenxiao smiled with disdain and laughed crazily.

“Die! Die! All of you, die, die!”

After that sword, yet another sword slashed out. The aura was even more vast. The purple lightning within that lightning sword seemed to have increased by close to 30%! Sword after sword fell, slashing crazily like a storm.

Without any trickery at all, even if Spirit Realm and Celestial Realm experts were here, their bodies would numb at seeing this display of ferocity.

As though he didn’t even need to recover and adjust his energy, the giant sword shadow didn’t show any signs of stopping.

Tianqi was dripping with cold sweat as he looked on from afar. Such strikes would probably clear out the Blood Cloud Cavalry, who were covered in lightning.

He raised his head and looked uneasily at the sky. “With Spiritual Realm strength descending on the Cloud World, this battle has already gone against the past agreement. Why are the world protectors so late?”

If they allowed that madman to continue on like this, no one within the Pinnacle Space Dome Formation would emerge alive.

“It is not that they haven’t arrived yet, them showing up late is normal!”

Shui Lingxiao shook her head. She had expected such a thing. They would only arrive after Zong Shou died.

Who asked for Zong Shou to join their Common People Path?

Tianqi didn’t understand, but he felt increasingly uneasy. Xuanyuan Tong and the others had a worried expressions in their eyes. However, they could forget about interfering with the situation today.

Everyone felt that even if Zong Shou didn’t die, he would be in a bad state.

Just as they began to lose the last of their hope, they saw a blood-coloured halberd shadow suddenly thrust out from within the lightning glow.

Apart from the bloody light, it was covered in yellow, with the strength and firmness of the earth to absorb the explosion of the lightning.

Only thing was that this halberd was filled with a thick golden glow. Kongyao’s eyelids leapt up—this was the Emperor Martial Path!

The king energy of the entire Donglin Cloud Continent slowly gathered on Zong Shou’s body, causing his aura to slowly break free of the Spirit Realm restrictions!

She knew that the heaven and earth had no consciousness, but they could naturally maintain balance and subconsciously preserve itself.

Heaven and earth were unable to suppress Shenxiao, and now, the dragon energy of heaven and earth swiftly gathered around Zong Shou.

When this halberd slashed out, in that moment, large amounts of lightning glow were dissipated.

The four thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry all stood on the spot, perfectly fine, their faces slightly pale.

Zong Shou’s wings expanded to fourteen thousand feet, and were mixed with numerous vital energies. They had become purple-red in colour.

Amassing such a scale of lightning should cause a backlash. Luckily, Zong Shou felt like he had extra energy, and he could continue to expand his wings.

Who knew if it was because of the Blood Cloud Cavalry formation, or the king energy that buffed his body.

Also, the halberd in his hand was becoming more and more comfortable!

As expected, in the martial path, all weapons and theories harkened back to one root, and they were all interconnected.

The more he used it and the more he was pressured by Shenxiao, the more and more familiar he would become with the halberd.

Shenxiao was startled when he saw this, and then he was furious. He became even more incensed.

“How are you still alive? Why aren’t you dead?”

Shenxiao’s aura continued to climb, the black clouds in the sky continued to expand, and numerous purple lightning currents continued to gather.

The lightning again struck at the Blood Cloud Cavalry, and the sword in his hand once again began to slash down.

This attack wasn’t limited to lightning techniques. All sorts of spells were cast. Shenxiao’s vast aura covered all of heaven and earth as it endlessly struck downwards.

Once again, the attacks completely engulfed the Blood Cloud Cavalry. The thundering of numerous spiritual explosions filled the ear.

A cold glow flashed in Zong Shou’s eyes; he was actually smiling. Then he got even more excited, his fighting spirit like that of a wave.

A good opponent was hard to find, and wasn’t someone like Shenxiao suitable? He could use this person to grind his martial path!

A halberd waving out, the heavens were instantly silenced once more. All the lightning, all the spells, they were chopped into pieces!

Shenxiao was stunned once more.

Hundreds of feet out, Tianqi sucked in a deep cold breath.

This was the soul of halberd intent!

Based on what he knew, people who grasped Martial Path Soul were either at the middle or at the peak of the Spirit Realm.

A lightbulb suddenly lit up in his head. No wonder the Blood Cloud Cavalry could last for so long. At this moment they were only slightly at a disadvantage.

Using the halberd soul level Martial Path intent to mix with the Blood Cloud Cavalry formation, he indeed could go up against people of the Spirit Realm!

He couldn’t help but feel terrified in his heart.

“Cultivator Lingxiao, I remember that the Monster King is best at sword techniques right?”

Shui Lingxiao acknowledged this but didn’t reply. Tianqi’s continued to say calmly, “His halberd skills have actually reached the soul level! Then what about his sword martial intent?”

Shui Lingxiao turned her head. She knew that during the battle between Zong Shou and Yuan Wushang, his sword soul had reached the intermediate state of the Sword Soul Realm.

Only these words were best left unsaid. “I don’t know! Maybe the ruler used his sword to trick others?”

Tianqi kept silent, and then he looked into the distance. He felt Shenxiao’s aura become stronger and even more indiscernible, filled with impulsiveness and impatience.

This was already peak Spirit Realm, close to the Celestial Realm.

At the same time, two women were stood outside of the void.

At this moment, the palace-dressed woman was laughing coldly.

“Half a step from the Celestial Realm, this Shenxiao really went insane, how amusing.”

“Isn’t this what Senior Sister wanted? You needed him to go all out for this show to continue.”

Another girl slightly shook her head. She was expressionless, but for the teasing expression in her eyes.

“Now we can only watch how that side will react.”

“What can they do? He can only continue to hold on.”

The elder woman waved her sleeves as a red needle, as thin as cow hair, appeared in front of her.

If there were other Saint Realm cultivators here, just one look and they would be able to notice that within there were several laws like “Annihilate,” “Frost,” and “Blazing Flame.”

However, if they used their spiritual senses to feel for it, they would be unable to find any traces.

The eyes of the woman were filled with a frost that couldn’t be melted.

“I remember that when senior brother fell in the Cloud World. Even if we crossed the line only a little, the six of them wouldn’t allow it. Just like today, isn’t it really unfair...”

The younger woman’s expression turned slightly dark. Then, her face was filled with a playful expression. “Unfortunately Yuan Wushang has left the Cloud World. If those people knew that Elder Sister’s disciple is not only at the intermediate stage of the Sword Soul Realm, but has also grasped spirit and martial arts merger, they would regret today’s matter. I am anticipating it greatly!”

“What we are bullying them with is that they don’t know!”

Following which the girl looked in front of her, and the sense of coldness increased. “I don’t think they will have the chance to experience regret!”
