North Thearch!


When Jiang Yi heard the mysterious elder’s advice, his body shook because of the shock. In the past, Jiang Yi had never thought about the North Thearch as his heart would be apprehensive whenever he thought about the North Thearch. He didn’t believe that such an influential figure would personally deal with him.


Ao Lu had mentioned before that he should never go provoke the Wu, Zhan, and Yi Clans as the North, Battle, and Buddha Thearchs were all Nine-Star experts. They were the three strongest people that were acknowledged by the continent. They were of the same cla.s.s as Ao Lu and were just inferior to the Mystic Thearch.


Lei Banxian was powerful, right?


Reverse Time Flow. Back then, Jiang Yi was nearly killed, but the time was forcefully reversed by Lei Banxian, effortlessly saving his life. If Lei Banxian was only barely considered an Eight-Star expert, how much more horrifying would Nine-Star experts be? Jiang Yi couldn’t imagine.


“Ruoxue is in the Heaven Hidden Sect located in the Savage Snow Region which is at the extreme north of the continent?”


His heart had moved again. This mysterious elder had rescued him previously and wouldn’t possibly harm and deceive him. This elder was actually so powerful that he could even know that the North Thearch was coming over. Furthermore… it seemed like he wasn’t fearful of the North Thearch? It meant that it was even less possible for the elder to be lying.


Jiang Yi knew a little about the Savage Snow Region. That place was north of the North Thearch’s four regions, and it was the northernmost part of this world. That place was considered to be connected to the East Imperial Continent. However, the citizens of the East Imperial Continent didn’t consider the Savage Snow Region to be a part of the continent’s territory. That place had almost no signs of human habitation, and dangers were all around. The place was covered with icy snow for the entire year, and the temperature was far too low. It was impossible for ordinary people to survive there, and the continent’s martial artists seldom went to that place. It was considered to be a desolate land.


“Go!”


The mysterious elder didn’t transmit any more messages, and Jiang Yi didn’t dare to delay anymore. Since Su Ruoxue wasn’t in the Wu Clan, it wouldn’t be wise for him to continue going against the Wu Clan. With his current strength, if he continued to stay in the East Imperial Continent, he would truly be killed by the North Thearch.


DemiG.o.ds were those great clans’ foundation. Jiang Yi had killed five of the Wu Clan’s Half G.o.ds and had forced the North Thearch to make a move. It could clearly be seen how much the Wu Clan wanted to kill him. If a Nine-Star expert truly wanted to hunt him down, he wouldn’t be able to escape this calamity. Nine-Star experts were supreme existences that had comprehended the heaven dao to the extreme. Who knew what kind of special divine ability he had?


Chi! Chi!


Jiang Yi didn’t care about his weak soul spirit and tore the void to fly towards the north. He then quickly vanished from the small mountain peak, and the surroundings had also gradually regained its peace.



Fifteen minutes later, there was a subtle sky-piercing sound that came from the east. Once that sound echoed, it felt as though a dark cloud floating over from the east covered the sky and the stars. A demon G.o.d-like aura presence pervaded the surroundings, causing extreme fear into those Wu Clan’s experts that were still fleeing. However, they were quickly ecstatic as they knelt down and yelled out, “Greetings to North Thearch!”


A black-clothed elder walked in the sky from the distance. His face didn’t have a hint of emotion, and he was walking very casually. He didn’t activate any kind of divine s.h.i.+eld or defensive barrier and walked in the high alt.i.tude like he was taking a stroll in his backyard’s garden.


He didn’t look at anyone below while his deep-sea eyes scanned around as though he could see through everything. The countless astral winds in the surrounded were triggered and were flying towards him rapidly but had all vanished silently when they reached his side. The bandits below were all gasping cold air when they saw it.


“Escaped?”


He was standing with his hands behind his back, and his straight and sword-like brows knitted slightly. “This youth is truly a prodigy. It is a pity that he couldn’t be used by me. Hmph! Let him escape then. Kid, you better don’t step into the East Imperial Continent in this life. Otherwise, you will not be so lucky next time.”


“Grandfather!”


A figure flew up from one of the bandit’s encampments, but he didn’t dare to fly too high. He flew up a small mountain’s peak and knelt down on both knees and yelled out, “Grandfather, Ni’er is incapable and has implicated Uncle Zu and the others, resulting in their deaths. I request for Grandfather to punish Ni’er severely. Even if you want to kill Ni’er, I will not have any complaints.”


The North Thearch looked at the mountain peak at Wu Ni whose body was shaking while his face was filled with guilt of being defeated. The North Thearch’s lips moved emotionlessly as he said, “Ni’er, among your siblings, you are the most intelligent. However, do you know what your greatest shortcoming is?”


Wu Ni lifted his head and looked into the North Thearch’s eyes and said, “Will Grandfather please enlighten me.”


“Arrogance!”


The North Thearch said indifferently, “Your greatest shortcoming is your arrogance. You think that you are a Young Master of the Wu Clan, has extraordinary talents, and the no.1 young master of the world. Thus, you underestimate everyone. This world is ma.s.sive, and there are tons of geniuses, and s.h.i.+ning stars. You must not underestimate anyone, and you must learn to respect your enemy. Only by respecting every enemy, will you be able to surpa.s.s them and defeat them! You simply have a better background than most people, but one’s background isn’t overly important.


“The Mystic Thearch came from a small clan in a small continent, but he was still able to stand on the pinnacle. Thus, you have to forget about your background in order to truly develop. The world has countless people that want to leave a mark in the long river of history. If you don’t strive hard enough, you will become a stepping stone for others and will be a ridiculous joke for ten thousand years. Since the matter is already at this stage, return and go into seclusion. Come back out only when you reach the DemiG.o.d Realm. If you cannot surpa.s.s Jiang Yi, you will never be a North King or the North Thearch in this life!”


Swis.h.!.+


The North Thearch took a deep gaze at Wu Ni after he finished. He then turned and flew towards the North Thearch City with a speed so fast that before most of the people could react, he had already vanished. All the Wu Clan’s experts yelled in unison, “Farewell to North Thearch!”


“Ni’er shall obey Grandfather’s order.”


Wu Ni took a deep bow and stayed on the mountain peak for a long time without getting up. His face gradually regained composure, and he finally stood up after 15 minutes. He looked into the distant sky and howled. “Jiang Yi. I, Wu Ni, will swear an oath today. If I cannot kill you in this life, I will never compete for the position of the North King!”


“Huh!”


Many Wu Clan’s experts that flew over had heard Wu Ni’s howl, and they were all astonished. Wu Ni was forcing himself to the corner, saying he wouldn’t take the North King’s position even if he was offered… unless he had killed Jiang Yi.



The incident at the Stupa Mountain had spread throughout the world in just three days. This incident was ma.s.sive, and no one would be able to cover it up. Five DemiG.o.ds, including the North King’s younger cousin brother and the continent’s famed expert, Wu Zu, had all been incinerated by Jiang Yi. Out of over thirty thousand bandits, only three thousand had survived. Jiang Yi had even hunted down dozen peak-stage Heaven Monarch experts from the Wu Clan and scorched a thousand miles of land on Stupa Mountain.


Most importantly, the North Thearch had personally made a move!


The great clans’ Patriarchs of the East Imperial Continent had never gotten involved with such matters, and everything was dealt with by the Clan Heads. They would never make an appearance for normal situations unless it was related to the clan’s survival. A measly Jiang Yi actually forced the North Thearch to make a move!


How many DemiG.o.ds did the Wu Clan have?


No one knew, and even the other Eight Emperors Clans only need a rough number. However, with Five DemiG.o.ds perished, it was definitely a huge chunk of flesh that was ripped off the Wu Clan, which would make them suffer for a least a few decades.


The continent was in constant dispute, and many regions and cities were in endless warring situations. During this period of time, two major clans were at war in the middle of the continent, and hundreds of cities had been besieged, but no DemiG.o.ds would perish in battle. It had been a few years since the death of a DemiG.o.d had been announced in the continent. This time, five of them actually perished!


Jiang Yi’s name had become a hot topic of conversation!


Some people hated him so much that they would never be able to forget him, but some people wors.h.i.+pped him to the extremity. Of course… Jiang Yi had entered Sin Island, and eight out of ten of the continent’s citizens would treat him as a spy from Sin Island.


It was needless to say that… Jiang Yi had oppressed Wu Ni and became the continent’s no.1 prodigy, the undisputed no.1 prodigy!


It didn’t matter how Jiang Yi did it, but he had done it. This was his capability. Cultivation realms didn’t matter. If a Cast Tripod Realm martial artist could kill the North Thearch, it would also be his capability.


The continent’s citizens were even more expectant now. Now that the North Thearch had made a move, he wasn’t going to return without any results. Was one of the continent’s most formidable experts able to kill Jiang Yi, the renegade?


Countless people were looking forward to it.
