Chapter 1505B – The Barbarian King is Dead and the Imperial Tomb is Destroyed
On the altar, the thick and horrifying crimson light was covered by darkness.
It suddenly appeared. But in the instant that it fell, it fused with the crimson light.
It created a dark and terrifying color…representing destruction and death.
Above the altar, the Barbarian King growled angrily, “Impossible…”
It was obvious that something had happened that was completely unimaginable for him. He was furious.
“Rulers! Hurry and escape!”
The Darkness Ruler’s holler could be heard.
Zhou Chengshan immediately realized that the power suppressing her had relaxed.
Looking at the altar, she hesitated thinking about whether to try and kill the Barbarian King with the others.
But she only hesitated for a second before waving her sleeve and grabbing the others to escape.
The terror of the Barbarian King was deeply engraved in her mind.
She did not dare to take the risk!
Run. She had to escape as fast as possible.
As for whether the Darkness Ruler would survive…she felt slightly guilty. However, the feeling faded in an instant.
She believed that Ning Qin was already prepared when he took action.
Of course, Zhou Chengshan was not ungrateful.
If something happened to Ning Qin and she managed to survive, she would definitely find a way to make it up to him.
Yes, just like that!
After determining what she would do, Zhou Chengshan was at ease and she moved even faster to escape.
Behind her, Ye Ziling and the Night Demon Sect Master looked shocked. It was obvious that they did not know what was going to happen.
Seeing Zhou Chengshan’s back, they frowned unhappily.
The truth was that Zhou Chengshan had chosen to keep quiet.
Firstly, it was because the fewer people knew, the less likely they were to be exposed.
Secondly, their chance of success was very small and she was not confident.
The third and last point was that she, the peak Ruler from the Imperial Clan, was also selfish.
What she knew and others did not, would allow her to make the first move when the time came.
Perhaps she would only be a second faster, but this second could be the difference between life and death.
Like now, Zhou Chengshan was the fastest to escape and Ye Ziling and the Night Demon Sect Master were behind her. Even if the Barbarian King were to chase them, the two behind her would be attacked first and she had a greater chance of survival.
Woosh –
Woosh –
Woosh –
With the three peak Rulers leading the way, they led the West Desolate cultivators out.
Angry roars could be heard from the "half-resurrected" statues as they chased after them.
Further behind was the anguished shouts from the Barbarian King. A horrifying surge of power could be felt.
It was as if something was on the verge of exploding and the release of power could destroy everything at once.
Crack –
Crack –
A cracking sound could be heard as a giant crack appeared in front of them.
The imperial tomb was breaking. Numerous huge rocks started to fall and the endless darkness was chaotic.
Zhou Chengshan was stunned. She could not understand what method Darkness Ruler Ning Qin used. He actually succeeded.
With him alone, he would not be able to kill the Barbarian King. But he might be able to stop the blood sacrifice and cause a backlash from the altar.
And the sight now was confirming her suspicions…the Barbarian King was in danger!
But now, Zhou Chengshan did not dare to turn back because the horrifying energy was surging like a volcano about to erupt.
If she turned back now, she might be the first to be turned into ashes.
Run. She had to run as fast as possible. She had to escape this imperial tomb before it was destroyed.
If not, she would die!
The end of the imperial tomb was near.
Woosh –
Zhou Chengshan stopped.
Behind her, Ye Ziling and the Night Demon Sect Master soon caught up.
“Do it!”
Without hesitating, the three peak Rulers lifted their hands to touch the spot in between their eyebrows.
As their fingers fell, they turned red.
A strange, gloomy and violent aura burst out.
Out of the five peak Rulers, only three were left and they could only create a triangle.
They were not sure if they could escape, but they could only try!
“Come in!”
The remaining West Desolate cultivators quickly flew towards the Rulers. They vaguely resembled the illusions of the stone statues.
This was also why they managed to live till now.
If not for them, the three Rulers would not have done this and put their own escape at risk.
Crack –
Crack –
A shattering sound could be heard as a huge crack appeared in the wall of the imperial tomb in front of them.
And this crack had clearly reduced the restrictive force from the imperial tomb.
Zhou Chengshan was delighted, “Let’s go!”
With a growl, three illusions of the statues knocked the crack and caused a huge vibration. Little by little, they forced their way out!
In the s.p.a.ce rupture, the crazy energy reached out to them in all directions like countless tentacles.
It caused numerous tears to appear and spread in all directions in the already unstable s.p.a.ce rupture.
Woosh –
The sound of people flying could be heard as Zhou Chengshan, Ye Ziling, and the Night Demon Sect Master flew out.
At this moment, the three of their faces changed as they sensed the terrifying aura behind them.
Without hesitating, the three of them growled as they escaped with the cultivators around them.
In the next moment, a terrifying attack came like a hurricane tearing through the world and destroying everything.
Groaning, everyone was swept away. As they tumbled in the air, they looked back and their foreheads were covered in cold sweat.
All they saw was the imperial tomb collapsing and crumbling in the chaotic s.p.a.ce rupture.
“Ahhhhh!”
Indignance, desperation, and violence could be heard in the roar coming from the imperial tomb.
It was the Barbarian King!
Zhou Chengshan’s expression changed to one of shock as she never thought that the Darkness Ruler would succeed.
He had stopped the blood sacrifice and utilized the backlash to kill the Barbarian King.
It was the only explanation!
“You can’t escape. Stay for my funeral…” A mournful and bitter roar could be heard from the broken imperial tomb as a huge hand suddenly reached out and grabbed.
In the next moment, there was a ‘buzz’ as a shock shook the s.p.a.ce.
The huge hand from the imperial tomb was forced open and a black hole appeared.
With a black robe covering him, it was the Darkness Ruler carrying a lantern. He looked completely destroyed as he escaped.
“Ruler, help me!”
As he shouted, he spat out mouthfuls of blood. Every mouthful of blood turned into flame and caused him to move faster.
A glint of light flashed in Zhou Chengshan’s eyes as she stepped forwards, raised her hand, and hit hard.
Pak –
There was a cracking sound as the ring on her finger shattered and a deep green ancient boxing glove appeared.
An incomparably powerful aura burst forth, bombarding the imperial tomb’s huge hand and forcing it back.
The Darkness Ruler managed to escape.
Zhou Chengshan waved her sleeve and grabbed the Darkness Ruler, “Let’s go!”
She lifted a hand and created a tear in the s.p.a.ce as she stepped in.
In the moment that she stepped in, she suddenly had a feeling and she turned back to see the huge hand falling apart.
The imperial tomb in the s.p.a.ce rupture had been thoroughly destroyed and it was swallowed by the chaos. It resembled a huge sinking s.h.i.+p.
The Barbarian King was dead and the imperial tomb was destroyed!
If it were just this sight, she would not have believed it. But Zhou Chengshan saw the lantern in Qin Yu’s hands.
This was the reason why she took the risk to save the Darkness Ruler.
It was not possible to hide the disturbance created from moving through the air, especially in the Western Barbarian Land. It was as eye-catching as a lighthouse in the dark.
But with the current situation, they could not be bothered as the three Rulers led everyone through s.p.a.ce.
The commotion from this was too huge. Numerous strong barbarian cultivators from the Dark Night Tribe had died, and this would definitely anger the Barbarian Clan.
They had to return to the West Desolate as fast as possible or risk getting ambushed by the Barbarian Clan.
At this moment, the Darkness Ruler was in a coma.
Zhou Chengshan wanted to take the lantern from him, but she hesitated because of the two pairs of eyes behind her.
At a time like this, it was better to minimize drama…moreover, now that this lantern was secured with the Darkness Ruler, if she took it, she might not feel peace of mind.
Zhou Chengshan could sense a change in aura.
Ning Qin…as long as he did not die and successfully returned to the West Desolate, he would undergo a change.
Zhou Chengshan, who was looking at the Darkness Ruler in a coma, would never have imagined that the defenseless-looking Qin Yu was already focused on her aura.
If there was anything wrong, he would have attacked and taught this Ruler a lesson on what it meant to be able to save and kill.
Thankfully, the worst scenario did not happen and he could pretend to be unconscious without a worry as he waited until it was time to ‘wake up’.
