Divine Brilliance

Chapter 714: Hidden Cocoons

So this was the Massacring Sword Path...

To kill if you wanted to kill, putting one’s heart into it. With a thought, one could kill, it was just so easy...

If there was anyone in front of his sword and they didn’t have high enough cultivation, they would be terrified.

The killing intent was so thick that it could injure someone! 25 sects, over 50,000 people. Unknowingly, it pushed this Sword Intent to the Soul Realm!

He remembered that Li Yaling said that he needed to kill 100,000 to cultivate his Blood Kill Sword Intent.

At this moment, he had done it so easily.

That was because there were too many experts who died under his sword and many of them were above Grade-3.

He could also feel threads of Vengeful Energy wrapping around the sword that wouldn’t dissipate.

The bloody stench pierced one’s nose, making one feel like vomiting.

Zong Shou also felt uncomfortable. He hadn’t felt like this in a long time.

He frowned and then forcefully suppressed it.

What made him happy was that although Xiaori wasn’t happy with, it was especially quiet. It also didn’t hate it, roaring out in his sleeves, filled with fighting intent.

Then, Zong Shou looked at his right hand, at Little Gold who had transformed into an Arm Guard.

He could feel the energy core within its body changing.

Beasts could only form a Pellet at Celestial Realm. But at this moment, Little Gold’s core wasn’t crystal-like in the past, it now had was in the shape of a Beast Pellet.

However, at this moment, what changed more intensely was its bloodline.

Its body was becoming stronger and stronger every moment. Sometimes firm, sometimes soft, sometimes it constricted, making his right hand hurt. Sometimes it let go and nearly fell off his hand.

16 hours had passed. 8 more hours and it could successfully pass the tribulation.

There were also the few Saint Fire Silver Ants beside him. Those few silver-white cocoons were calm on the surface, but deep within they were very active.

Although Hanxi started advancing at the same time as Little Gold, their speeds were totally different.

Hanxi’s body strengthening was much slower than Little Gold.

That was because Wanxiang was a God Beast.

As for the natural variant, it was unique and had nothing to be based on.

It could compete with God Beasts and even exceed them, which was why the time it needed to advance exceeded Little Gold by a fold!

Hanxi needed to grasp it itself and if it took a wrong path, it would affect its own future...

However, looking at the situation within the cocoon, Zong Shou didn’t worry.

This Saint Fire Queen Ant was much smarter than he thought.

The first thing it strengthened were the wings. Next was the knife and the armor.

The Silver-White Saint Fire was the last.

What was terrifying about it was its shocking speed that could compare to Spirit Realm Beasts.

To have enough speed, one had to have a tough shell.

If not, just the particles in the air would cause huge damage to it.

Apart from speed and the shell, it would need a sharp knife to split the opponent’s body. Those four knife arms became longer and sharper.

The other six ants made the same choices, advancing along with Hanxi.

Using Spiritual Sense, Zong Shou’s eyes were filled with surprise.

The core path that Hanxi chose was actually not the lightning he was best at, but light.

This Saint Fire Silver Ant was his natural Protector Beast. It could sense the path he grasped. If it was a lightning element skill, it could easily comprehend. However, light was much more difficult!

“It really is ambitious...”

He shook his head in disapproval. However, when he retracted his gaze from the silver cocoon, his eyes were filled with praise.

The fastest thing in the world was light and not lightning or anything else.

Although Hanxi’s future path was tough, it chose the path that was most suitable for it...

After drawing the two lines of words below, Zong Shou stopped worrying about the Protector Beasts who were about to advance and once again flew into the air toward the south.

Next was Yunxiao Mountain Yelan Temple, 1,700 miles to the south.

He didn’t think about making any preparations to pass the tribulation.

Although their accumulation was little, if his Protector Beasts failed this tribulation and needed external help, then he was a failure as a Master. He wouldn’t deserve being called the head of the Six Pinnacle Swords, unrivaled in the Cloud World!

Normal people couldn’t help when Beasts faced tribulation. However, Protector Beasts were different, they shared the same body as their Master.

If Little Gold and Hanxi couldn’t take it, then he as the master would! Even if it was 10 times the punishment from Heaven and Earth...

1,700 miles took just 15 minutes to cover.

Looking out, Zong Shou was slightly shocked. He saw that the huge temple was deathly silent with no sign of life at all.

Looking out, there was indeed no one. Not only that, but even the mountain protecting Spiritual Formation was removed.

All that was left were a few buildings, the herb gardens were also in a mess...

“As expected!”

With no intent to let them off, he slashed down with the sword. A white light flashed across, the mountain along with the dozens of Spiritual Veins were broken!

He didn’t remain and continued forward. The cold disdain in his eyes became thicker.

Gathering their strength into one? It was much later than he expected.

To be able to wipe out 25 sects, that was far from what he expected.

The next battle was the most crucial as well as the most dangerous one...

Intent swept out and in just a moment he found something.

He covered his body using the Illusionary Heart Mirror. With a flash he continued to travel, crossing 300 miles and getting onto the peak.

He then saw a group of people either flying in the air or riding their beasts to gallop on the ground.

There were 2,000 people, mostly Grade-3 and above. Amongst them was a Spirit Realm with two Grade-9 accompanying. They solemnly spread out their Spiritual Sense to search for hundreds of miles around.

However, they didn’t notice him, just several thousand feet away.

Below, there were at least 20 Grade-7 and 6 Grade-8 Experts spread out. They held various artifacts and also had solemn expressions.

Zong Shou didn’t need to think and knew that it was Yelan Temple. They traveled at night, who knows toward where?

He found it amusing, what was the use of this? Even if they had a Spiritual Formation, it couldn’t block his sword! Now in the wilderness with nothing to rely on, he didn’t need to use much strength. Even better, why not cast some spells to move faster? In that case, they might be able to flee from his hands.

Zong Shou didn’t attack immediately. He retracted his killing intent in case the Spirit Realm Taoist noticed.

Looking toward where they were heading, he formed an idea.

“Yugang Mountain Ping An Temple?”

Zong Shou’s pupils constricted.

There was a direct connection between the strength of the mountain protecting formation and the number of veins.

For example, the Mysterious Cloud Mountain was a Spiritual House and had many veins. When the Spirit Wave was at its strongest, its formation could even block Peak Saint Realm Experts.

Next would be the skill of the people who set up the formation. The more perfect it was, the stronger it was. However, even if there were any weaknesses it would have been fixed during the 10,000 years in which the sect was passed down.

However, there were some that were special. Like Xiuyun Sect, the God Slaying Formation made him terrified.

Right away, he used the Cause and Effect Path and Fate technique to slice the mountain. With the Spiritual Veins destroyed, the formation was naturally useless.

Next would be Mind Stones. However, even if one used a large number of them, they wouldn’t have a huge effect.

This Yugang Mountain Ping An Temple not only had many veins which could be compared to that of a Spiritual House, but its formation was also famously strong.

He had heard of its name in the future.

Thinking about it, Zong Shou was about to give up. Even if he wanted to fight, he would choose a suitable battlefield for himself.

This Yugang Mountain wasn’t it.

The Nameless Sword in his hand gave off a blood glow. It wanted to attack and wipe out all these disciples.

Then, Zong Shou had an idea as he looked at the few Silver Ant cocoons.

Speaking of which, his few Protector Beasts, natural variants were brutal and cruel.

Once they advanced, they would need lots of flesh and blood as food. They needed to kill many to be able to satisfy themselves.

Reaching out to touch the silver cocoon, Zong Shou reached in with his intent.

In the next moment, he felt an excited intent shoot back out.

“What a good ‘why not’!”

Zong Shou laughed coldly, his eyes ice cold. He didn’t suppress the killing intent of the Saint Fire Silver Ant.

Hanxi was just like that, it loved to kill and one wasn’t able to suppress it.

At this moment, he was not much better.

The Illusionary Heart Mirror flashed and covered the 2,000 people.

He waved his sleeves and the few silver cocoons turned into specks of stars, either entering the flesh of the High-Grade mounts or the carriages.

He even sent threads of intent using the mirror into the souls of the Grade-4 and 5 Cultivators.

Spirit Masters were sensitive and could easily notice. Martial Cultivators were much easier.

Taoists and Demon Path people had methods of controlling the heart. They were really effective when used for slaughter.

However, their Sky Fox Race was still the best at this.

200 of them along with the Grade-7 Cultivators by their side. Apart from protecting Hanxi at the crucial moment, it had other uses.

After doing all this, Zong Shou kept the mirror. None of those 2,000 had noticed.

Only the Spirit Realm Cultivator frowned and swept about. He spread his Spiritual Sense to search carefully. Moments later he shook his head and continued forward.

At this moment, Zong Shou was not there anymore and was already hundreds of miles away.

What he needed to find was a place to pass tribulation with strong Spiritual Energy.
