Chapter 110 – A single banner!!
The thunderbolt was fast and it instantly arrived by the deity remnant, quickly shooting towards its chest. The two collided with a loud rumble, but the remnant did not even slow down as it ignored the thunderbolt as it flashed about its body.
Although it seemed this way, this remnant was afterall formed by the NightWing’s blood, and the thunderbolt condensed of Bi Tu’s awakened cultivation was still able to cause it to more quickly vaporise, shortening the time this remnant can remain, and Su Ming could clearly feel that once the axe lands, it too will reach its end.
But this single axe which only had a tiny fraction of its original power would still be enough to thoroughly annihilate a mere awakened cultivator.
As it swung the axe, it let out countless screams, as if the many spirits who fell under the axe materialised on the ax as it fiercely swung down.
“No!” Bi Tu’s eyes were filled with desperation as he felt an immense pressure from the axe, without any means of resisting, he could only slightly raise his hands as he faced his death.
From within his body, that black flash which helped him avoid death once, appeared again and transformed into a ball-like barrier of light.
This was his last defense, but as the axe struck down with the cries of spirits, the black light instantly shattered like it never existed in the first place, not even able to buy a second of time for him as it continued to approach the hopeless Bi Tu.
Seeing Bi Tu’s imminent death, Su Ming’s hated for him had diffused out his entire being. But at this instant, just as the axe was about to land, the s.p.a.ce in front of Bi Tu suddenly distorted as a black figure walk out.
Raising its right hand, it shone as a purple shield appeared to block the axe’s strike.
A terrifying bang resounded as the black figure’s shield shattered, but he hurriedly retreated dragging along Bi Tu who had been seized by despair. In a single movement he rushed back a hundred zhang before stopping, his face hidden behind his hood did not seem injured at all.
Su Ming bitterly smiled, the moment the axe struck, the NightWing’s blood which formed the deity was blown away, covering the skies with a crimson dust before fading away. He could feel a powerful force strike him as his body fell backwards onto the Wu Long Mountain Peak, blood spurting out his mouth as his body convulsed, his internal injuries all rupturing, even the backlash from raising his cultivation from eating herbs struck at this time as his injuries covered his entire body.
His vision blurred as death approached, Su Ming bit his tongue with all his effort as he tried to stay awake, forcing himself to sit up and look at the black robed man by Bi Tu in the distance.
“Master!” Bi Tu spoke with fear on his face, he knew that this black robe man’s appearance signaled his death.
“I really underestimated these tribes in the backwater realms, first was the two awakened cultivators who can combine their blood qi to release the power of the late awakened realm.
And now, to think that a little brat managed to cultivate the real Fire-Mán Technique and compel the NightWings to for the image! That previous strike….. If you were not so weak, it would have been something even I cannot block.” The black robed man spoke with a hoa.r.s.e voice, his body trembling inside as he maintained a wary expression, if not for having use of Bi Tu, he would not have appeared to rescue him. And although no one could see, blood was flowing from his lips under the black robe.
“Bone Sacrifice realm…… did Jing Nan fall in your hands?” On another mountain peak, grandpa who no longer had fighting stren

gth slowly spoke.
“They were deployed from the great Miao Mán-Tribes and under their protection, naturally I would have to silence them to avoid future troubles.”
The black robed man looked at grandpa and smilingly spoke, his laughter following his hoa.r.s.e voice as he withdrew a black token from his robes, on the token was the engraving of a spine, with a single toss he threw it towards grandpa.
Grandpa’s expression upon seeing the tablet suddenly turned ugly.
“The reason I came was not only to look for the remains of the Fire-Mán, but also to look for you! Mo, you truly did not disappoint me, if you had died to Bi Tu then how could you have been part of us. However, today you will still have to pay the price for your mistake back then.” The black robed man spoke as he recalled the token, paying no more heed to Mo Sang as he walked towards Su Ming.
“Never did I expect that I would really find a successor of the Fire-Mán in a place like this……”
Su Ming lightly sighed, yet his expression remained calm, even if this black robed man was not here, he knew that the injuries on his body were already too bad to cure, all that awaited him either way was death.
He did not even bother looking at the black robed man as he continued gazing towards grandpa, his eyes filled with affection, he had tried his best.
“Everything is over…… I am sorry I could not take good care of him.” Grandpa silently contemplated, never did he expect that all this would have happened just because he joined that terrifying organisation back in the day. Tears fell down his face as he shut his eyes.
But just as Grandpa’s eyes closed, his body suddenly shook, on his body a yellow light shone glaringly, an overbearing qi which did not belong to this earth shot out from his body.
The moment this qi appeared, the black robed man walking towards Su Ming paused as he turned his head around, his face hidden behind his robe was filled with shock as he saw the piercing yellow light shoot out from Mo Sang’s body.
From within the light, Mo Sang’s spirit seemed to condense, along with a m.u.f.fled roar a small yellow flag shot out from Mo Sang’s spirit and gently floated seven inches from him.
Mo Sang’s body trembled as his eyes shot open, his body frozen in place as he stared at the small yellow flag.
“You…… how are you appearing!” This small flag’s appearance was hard for grandpa to accept, he had believed that this thing would never appear again, in the past this item was absorbed into his blood and over the years, he could never feel its presence.
Grandpa’s expression was filled with shock as h turned towards Su Ming, suddenly realising the reason behind it.
After struggling onto his feet, he grabbed the small flag which instantly transformed three Zhang high, it was no longer a small flag but rather a giant banner!
Its colour too instantly changed from yellow to black, but as it unfurled, from within the black cloth, small sparkles appeared, like a starry sky.
This starscape was unfamiliar, as if belonging to some faraway lands, perhaps those people would be able to find familiarity from it.
The black robed man was shocked as a sense of danger filled his entire being, quickly turning towards Mo Sang hoping to stop him.
But he could not stop Mo Sang who was holding the gigantic banner on the mountain peak. His right hand shot out, extending the banner sideways before swinging it to the leftwards, kicking up a gale as the cloth was spread out. The moment the black robed man arrived, the banner in Mo Sang’s hand had already encircled him once.
The banner danced as it gently stroked past Mo Sang’s face, once more transforming larger and larger, in the blink of an eye, the stars from starry cloth shot out into the skies in their own dance.
It continued to grow larger and larger, almost instantly transforming into a real starscape as it kicked up a storm and flew into the skies, seemingly replacing the sky with itself.
The night sky suddenly transformed, the skies in the cloth instantly transforming the clear night sky.
This sky changing art seemingly made the night sky disappear as the cloth replaced the stars in the sky, the stunned Su Ming gazed at the unfamiliar starcape in front of him.
Bi Tu too dazedly stood there, his body shook as he gazed at the unfamiliar starscape, the sky completely foreign to him.
All the skies in the sky were foreign.
The starry sky that they have grew up watching had a sense of familiarity, no matter how far they were, the patterns they formed had etched itself into their hearts.
If a day comes that the skies suddenly transformed, they could all instantly tell, that sense of unfamiliarity would cause their hearts to panic.
The black robed man’s body shook as he gazed at the starry skies, even as one at the Bone Sacrifice realm, he could feel a terrible fear especially because he knew some things……”
“The starscape of the outer realm! This is the outer realm’s starscape!”
(TLN: Name might be subject to change…… outer realm sounds funny)
The moment the stars appeared Grandpa coughed out blood and took a few steps back, but he still loudly shouted towards Su Ming who was staring at the skies.
“Su Ming, remember this starscape!” After speaking these words, Grandpa lost all his strength as he collapsed onto the ground.
Su Ming’s body shook as he gazed at the foreign starscape.
The stars in the skies shone brightly and even seemed to slowly move, under everyone’s gazes the stars seemed to join together, forming the outline of a person.
The figure was large and seemed to encompa.s.s the entire sky, and as the stars shine grew, the figure slowly got clearer.
It was the outline of a middle aged man!
As Su Ming gazed at the figure formed by starlight, his body suddenly trembled as disbelief filled his face.
The starlight formed a gigantic figure, whose face was surprisingly similar to Su Ming’s!
