Chapter 524: Powerhouses of all Kinds
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
The Sun was hanging in mid sky – it was noon.
The Valley of the Falling Moon was utterly silent. It appeared just like an artwork on paper – noiseless.
Just like the calm before a violent storm, hidden beneath this tranquility was pure anger and killer"s intent!
In midair, shadow after shadow was standing tall and straight. Each and every one of them looked as profound as the ocean and were emitting an intense amount of Qi. Just like the G.o.ds who sit above all nine levels of Heaven, everyone was peering down from above.
These spiritual beings were all different kinds from all over Yunzhou. Every single one of them was a powerhouse, and the weakest one of them was of the advanced stage of the intermediate level. Within the group were a commanding golden roc, a giant six-armed gorilla, a dominating nine-headed lion, and many other powerhouses from various different kinds.
Though all of these beings belonged to a different kind, their end goal was the same.
They came for Ling Xian.
In the Taoism community, forces that are considered large all possess an eternal treasure named the Forever Lasting Light. This item is not an offensive weapon, but it"s not a defensive one either. It"s a special treasure used to aid cultivators.
Its affect was to let the cultivator leave behind a ray of soul like an imprint of his or her individuality. If the Forever Lasting Light is lit, it means the owner is safe. If the Forever Lasting Light suddenly dims, that means the soul of the person has fallen.
Utterly and completely fallen.
Not long ago, several Forever Lasting Light from every notable being dimmed. Not just one light dimmed – several dimmed. After the different beings investigated and concluded that the dimmed Forever Lasting Light belonged to the potential descendants of the generation, they all lost their composure.
To know that a potential inheritor is not easy to train and bring up. From certain degrees, it means that the person they"ve chosen is going to be the one the Clan is going to pa.s.s the legacy onto. Even if that person gets into an accident and can no longer rule the entire force, that person remains an important figure with power under his hands.
Thus, when these beings felt the falling of their inheritors, all the different forces fell into a rage.
Every single being was in complete fury, and they vowed to find the killer and gift the slaughterer the cruelest punishment!
These spiritual beings were here for that purpose.
It wasn"t hard to deduce what went wrong. The inheritors of these beings were all inside the Imperishable Temple, and the location of their death was no other than the Imperishable Temple. Therefore, the location of the killer became obvious.
Some powerful cultivators ignored the side effects of their doings and summoned the great technique of turning back time.
This technique has the ability to make time travel backward and replay certain events at an exact time. It was known as a heaven-defying technique. Therefore, to actually use this technique, one must belong to the original level and give up 30 years of his or her lifespan.
One has to admit that this was a very harsh rule. The required level of cultivation alone was enough to make most cultivators turn around and leave helplessly. The rule of using up 30 years of life was even harsher in comparison.
However, the dimming of the Forever Lasting Light of the strongest inheritor was far too important. To pursue and find the killer, the original leveled cultivators decided to waste their lifespan and borrowed the soul from the Forever Lasting Light to replay the scene of the death of the cultivator.
From there, these forces found out the face of the killer – the heaven-defying Heaven"s Favorite who astonished the entire Yunzhou.
Ling Xian.
To the entire Yunzhou, these two words are not unfamiliar. On the contrary, they are thunderous and can blow eardrums. Even the hidden beings who never show themselves know his name.
However, even if the killer were someone of the original level, the beings would still go up and find the man in an attempt to kill him!
Therefore, everyone sent their strongest cultivators and they arrived at the Valley of the Falling Moon to fight Ling Xian.
Currently, these cultivators were floating in midair and every single living being was scarily powerful. They looked onto others like they were real G.o.ds.
"It"s been four months since the Imperishable Temple activated, why are there still no sign of them returning?"
A golden roc suddenly opened its mouth. Its entire body was blonde like real gold, st.u.r.dy and strong. Its wings covered half the Sun and its giant body covered half the sky. It appeared extremely muscular and was emitting a dominating Qi.
Every single roc was a G.o.d"s Favorite, especially a pure blooded golden roc. These rocs were extremely powerful and were known to be undefeatable. Though the one before everyone was not a purebred, its capabilities remained domineering, and it was hard to find someone from its own generation to be its opponent.
"The deactivation time of the Imperishable Temple is always irregular. That is not strange."
A six-armed gorilla followed up, "No matter what, there is no way that human can escape. We have to wait patiently."
"That"s right. So many of our powerhouses are here now. No matter how talented he is known to be and how amazing he sounds, he cannot escape us," a giant nine-headed lion suddenly spoke. All 18 of its eyes were s.h.i.+ning with killer"s intent.
The nine-headed lion and the six-armed gorilla were the rulers of the beast kind. Each one of them had a natural advantage, and ever since they were born, they possessed extraordinary capabilities. After they grew into adults, they turn even more unimaginably terrifying, with the power to flip a body of seawater and toss up an ocean. They can even steal the star and take the moon."
The two living spiritual beings were two top talents of their respective kinds. They were at the peak of the completion level and were extremely terrifying in capabilities.
The other beings present were also top talents of their own kind. Amongst them were the powerhouse from the Three-Eyed Clan and others. At a glance, a rough estimate shows that there were 40 to 50 of them and each one of them was extraordinary.
What could they do? Inside the Imperishable Temple, Ling Xian killed many strange Heaven"s Favorites. Even though he didn"t calculate in detail, at the very least, there were 20 to 30 foreign kinds there.
Therefore, to have these many people here was reasonable.
However, this number can bring someone into hopelessness.
To know that any random one of these beings was a powerhouse with enough capabilities to rule the world. Yet they were all here fighting together. In the entire Yunzhou, who can defend against this?
In other words, this alliance was extremely powerful and was strong enough to defeat anyone. Even if a force sent out all its talents, they might not be able to defend against these people!
"Hurry up and send out everyone. I cannot wait any longer to kill the human who ended the life of the roc being"s future."
The golden roc was giant in size and terrifying. Its golden hawk eyes were sparkling with killer"s intent.
"I am the same. Who dares to kill the gorilla kind? That person sure is impatient to die." The six-armed gorilla had an unwelcoming smile.
The other beings didn"t speak. But their frigid expressions translated their thoughts.
Ling Xian has to be killed!
From this, it became apparent that a violent storm was about to begin. Rain, thunder, and lightning were about to sweep up the entire Yunzhou!
Just as these powerhouses continued to discuss Ling Xian, the Imperishable Temple suddenly materialized in mid-air. Then, countless golden rays began to expand. They were blinding and s.h.i.+ning.
Every single golden ray formed a giant path, and a spiritual being stood on these individual paths. Every one of them looked authoritative and commanding. Just like a mountain, they stood with their feet steadily planted deeply. They were giant in size and brave in looks, and they all emitted a shocking amount of energy.
However, most powerhouses" gaze was fixated on one individual.
No matter how attention s.n.a.t.c.hing Heaven"s Favorites who stood on the golden paths were, and no matter how special they appeared, at this moment, they were here to accentuate someone else.
It was as if these Heaven"s Favorites existence was to bring out the brightness in one person, to make that person look like a true immortal.
His eyebrows were like swords and his robe was white like snow. A strange aura revolved around his body and like a true immortal from above the nine heavens, his demeanor was unparalleled.
Even amongst these extraordinary powerhouses, he was the one who s.h.i.+ned the most. The moment he appeared, he attracted every single being"s gaze and attention.
It was Ling Xian.
