Chapter 600: Chapter 600 – Overlord Saint Appears
Boom!!
Sword qi pa.s.sed over the stone monkey, traveling to the depths of the starry sky.
Zhou Xuanji maintained his pose after swinging, and he calmly looked at the stone monkey.
Lady Zhaoxuan, Qiu Hu, Xuan Daoya, Si Mengyan, and Ren Niming all looked at the stone monkey.
Even though they did not know why Zhou Xuanji had attacked, they trusted that he was not acting rashly.
The stone monkey was not shattered, and it instead violently trembled.
“Ahhh—” The stone monkey suddenly gave a strange howl as a black shadow flew out from within its body and quickly exploded and scattered.
Zhou Xuanji lowered his swords and asked, “What is the price for resurrecting her?”
The stone monkey lifelessly replied, “10,000 years of lifespan.”
Everyone’s eyes widened, unable to believe their ears.
Zhou Xuanji smiled.
As expected of the sword that could slash through the river of history!
He had slashed away the stone monkey’s past, ridding the stone monkey of destiny’s influence on it, causing it to return to normal.
“Deal!” Zhou Xuanji said as he put away the two swords, waiting for the stone monkey to act.
The stone monkey opened its mouth and a ray of light shot out, falling on Lady Zhaoxuan’s body. Following this, Lady Zhaoxuan started to regain lifeforce at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Her appearance did not change much, but she was no longer a soul and now had a body.
Lady Zhaoxuan looked at herself in delight. She wanted to say something, but she did not know what to say.
She looked back at Zhou Xuanji, an apologetic look in her eyes.
Apart from giving birth to Zhou Xuanji, she had not done anything that a mother should have.
Zhou Xuanji gave a slight smile and said, “Come, let’s go and visit your granddaughter.”
Lady Zhaoxuan was startled and hurriedly walked over.
Zhou Xuanji waived his right hand and sent her into the world within the 24 Rank Deep Black Lotus. He sent her before Daoya Old Man so that Daoya Old Man could arrange things.
“What is the background of that sword?” Xuan Daoya asked as he looked at Zhou Xuanji in shock, his voice slightly trembling.
It could even sever destiny?
Qiu Hu and Si Mengyan also looked at Zhou Xuanji in shock.
Only Ren Niming was smiling.
Zhou Xuanji calmly replied, “It comes from me.”
He looked at the stone monkey and asked, “How can I gain Reincarnation Power?”
Now that he had gotten rid of destiny’s influence, he should gain some opportunities for himself.
He wanted to become stronger!
Strong enough to defeat destiny.
The stone monkey opened its mouth and spat out a piece of white jade, which flew before Zhou Xuanji. He said, “Consume it, and you will be able to gain Reincarnation Power.”
Looking at the jade, Qiu Hu felt quite disgusted.
Ren Niming stepped forwards and crushed the white jade as he smiled and said, “Alright, we should be heading back.”
Their goal this time was Lady Zhaoxuan, and now that they had resurrected her, they could not allow Zhou Xuanji to continue putting himself at risk.
The others came over and all let out sighs of relief.
“Head back? Where do you think you’re going?” the stone monkey suddenly yelled, causing everyone to quickly retreat.
The stone monkey violently trembled and its body became wrapped with a strange blood-red aura.
“Destiny cannot be defied… all outside creatures must be destroyed…” the stone monkey shrieked, and hearing this, even Qiu Hu felt gooseb.u.mps rise up.
“Quickly leave!” Ren Niming said in a low voice. After saying this, he flew off the stone stage first.
The others followed close behind, flying down along the Yellow Springs Pillar.
Soon, they arrived back at the Netherworld.
Xuan Daoya let out a breath and said, “That was so dangerous! Can we not take such risks in the future?”
Facing destiny at that moment, he felt as if his soul was going to dissipate.
…
Zhou Xuanji was expressionless but inwardly he rejoiced. He was fortunate that he had the History Asunder Sword.
“Be careful, everyone!” Ren Niming suddenly cried out. Zhou Xuanji instinctively looked back and saw a ma.s.sive black shadow descending.
Before he could see that black shadow clearly, the explosion caused him to instantly lose consciousness.
…
After who knew how much longer, Zhou Xuanji gradually came to, and he felt as if he was being soaked in seawater.
He slowly opened his eyes and a pale white face appeared before his eyes. There was a pair of blood-red eyes on the face, making it look incredibly terrifying.
He instinctively slashed out with his palm as a knife.
The ghost quickly leapt back and disappeared in the seawater.
“Where am i?” Zhou Xuanji frowned and hazily looked around.
He immediately flew upwards.
Boom!
He flew out of the sea and what greeted him was a dimly-lit heavens and earth, as well as dense fog.
The Netherworld!
So below was the Yellow Springs.
“What’s going on…”
Zhou Xuanji tried to think about what happened earlier and felt as if his head was going to split.
He found that there was a cliff ahead, which could barely be made out in the fog.
He flew towards that direction.
After a few breaths of time, he suddenly stopped, and his expression fell.
There were two figures on the cliff ahead.
One of them was Xuan Daoya. He was being raised high up by a black shadow, unable to make a sound, and his legs were desperately kicking.
Zhou Xuanji directly took out the Thunderclap Sword and used Ranged Sword Propelling.
Swish—
The Thunderclap Sword instantly arrived before the black shadow and pierced through it before it disappeared over the horizon.
The black shadow did not explode, and it instead opened its mouth and devoured Xuan Daoya.
It turned and looked at Zhou Xuanji, revealing a pair of red eyes.
In the dark Netherworld, the Yellow Springs roiled, and the two of them looked at each other from afar.
Meeting that black shadow’s eyes, Zhou Xuanji could see that the eyes were filled with killing intent.
An extremely powerful killing intent!
Zhou Xuanji asked in a low voice, “Who are you?”
The Thunderclap Sword returned to his hand.
The black shadow had a hunched back, looking like a beast, and said with a cold voice, “Zhou Xuanji, you should not have existed. Your very existence is a stain! You must die!”
It jumped up and rushed at Zhou Xuanji, and a ma.s.sive pair of black wings appeared on its back, spanning many kilometres.
Zhou Xuanji unleashed Sword Dao Rules and slashed out.
Boom!!
Two terrifying waves of power collided, destroying everything. Even the Yellow Springs caved downwards, and ma.s.sive waves appeared on the borders.
Zhou Xuanji was sent flying back by the black shadow.
He used the Thunderclap Sword to defend against the black shadow’s sharp claws. At a close distance, he suddenly felt that the black shadow looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
He immediately exploded out with his own aura and forced the black shadow back.
Zhou Xuanji then took out all of his swords and used Sword Sect Immortal Ghost Weep.
“Why did this thing appear?” Sovereign Xuan said in terror, as if the sky was collapsing.
Zhou Xuanji asked, “Who is he?”
Dao Lord Xuantian answered, “Overlord Saint! The first Saint!”
Zhou Xuanji’s pupils constricted.
He had thought that this was a manifestation of destiny; he had never thought that it was the Overlord Saint.
Wait… the Overlord Saint had also been banished by destiny…
Could it be…
The black shadow Overlord Saint roared as he charged over, his wings beating, and countless traces of black rain swept out.
Zhou Xuanji immediately dodged; he could feel that this black rain was incredibly dangerous, and he could not afford to receive it head-on.
He quickly flew towards the horizon while he conversed with the souls.
The black shadow they had encountered while coming down from the Yellow Springs Pillar was the Overlord Saint?
Why didn’t that fellow kill him before?
At that moment, Zhou Xuanji’s eyes suddenly heated up, and an indescribable itchy feeling made him continuously blink.
He could sense a ma.s.sive power about to burst out from his eyes.
