Hello, Ankydon is here.
So I had nothing to do and that’s what came out of it.
Track of the day
Skillet – Feel Invincible
Chapter 2 (direct link)
AdFly (indirect, but I still want you to click here)
In the forest close to the mansion.
Wearing a gown on top of my pajamas, I arrived at its entrance and quickly located a suitable monster.
A transparent body bouncing around.
The weakest of monsters, perfect for a child’s debut, also known as red slime.
A child can deal with it even without my experience.
As I thought that, the monster, also known as red slime, came at me.
I jumped to the right and avoided it.
Since I have knowledge of my previous life, red slime’s characteristics aren’t a mystery to me.
Its’ attacking method consists of body slams and weak fire magic.
Its’ weakness is the nucleus located in his gel-like body.
If you can pierce through it, the slime will die in one hit.
The magic that one can learn from the red slime is fire magic and detection magic, these two kinds.
The probability of acquisition is pretty high, so I have high expectations.
It would be troublesome if it releases fire magic, so let’s go on the offensive.
I smashed the red slime with a pointed rock I picked up nearby.
Squish!
I felt an impact when I struck the nucleus.
As expected, the slime was destroyed.
At the same time the slime disappeared, something scarlet fell on the ground.
Seeing this jewel-like object, I was slightly surprised.
「Slime Core. I’m lucky today」
A rare material you can get upon defeating a slime.
Because it’s an ingredient of an eye medicine, many shops will buy it at a reasonable price.
This will add to my pocket money, I thought as I put the slime core into my gown.
Well then, let’s confirm the status.
I wonder if I got some magic?
Name: Eddie
Level 1
Profession: Sage
HP: 10
MP: 30
Magic: Fire Magic (weak), Detection Magic
Attack Power: 3
Magic Capacity: 199585 (reincarnation bonus) 1
「Alright. I’ve got the magic. Both fire and detection magic」
Both of them are super elementary trivial magics.
In this world, almost everyone has some kind of magic.
Fire Magic
It a versatile type of magic, its power depends on the user’s level.
At level 1, I should be able to release a fireball the size of a candy at most.
Detection Magic.
This magic allows you to detect the presence of certain beings around you.
You can use it to search for enemies in your vicinity or as a substitute for sight in a dark dungeon.
Slimes use this magic to look for their prey.
「N….?」
Having paid attention only to my magic, it finally dawned on me.
My level didn’t increase, so I casually looked through.
The part below my magic is rather strange.
「…….Eh?」
Magic Capacity: 199585 (reincarnation bonus)
「The hell…..?『Magic Capacity: 199585』It’s more than in my previous life…..」
It’s weird no matter how you look at it.
After all, I’m still level 1.
This number is just ridiculous.
「And what about this reincarnation bonus……?」
When I was about to check my status again……..
「Kyaaaaaa…….!」
I’ve heard a scream of a young woman deep in the forest.
「This voice…..Are there people in this forbidden forest……?」
The forest in front of me.
There is a special barrier erected deep inside this forest.
『Forbidden Forest』
My Radcliff house protects the barrier inside this forest.
There are powerful monsters trapped inside this barrier.
That’s why the locals will never enter the forest.
「Perhaps it’s an outsider」
Let’s postpone the status. For now……..
I’ve used Detection Magic that I’ve got a minute ago.
At Level 1, I won’t be able to get many details and the range should be about 10 meters.
Still, she’s close enough to hear her screams, it would work out somehow.
Or so I thought as I activated the magic.
Then I held my breath.
「This is……」
It’s too detailed.
Normally, one can only obtain the location of the target through the detection magic.
It should vaguely display the locations of living beings with white dots on the map.
However, instead of that, I saw detailed topographic map of the surroundings.
As well as monsters and a human sever dozen meters away.
More than that.
The types of monsters were mention close to the dots.
King Ork
Ork Ork
Ork
Ork Ork
Ork Ork
Human (female)
I know only one person capable of receiving so much information from detection magic.
That’s me, of my previous life.
「Haha, I can’t believe it……A Level 1 6-year old kid uses magic on the same level as Level 99 Sage who killed the Demon King?」
I found myself confused.
But this matter can wait.
To orks’ presences actively approached the woman.
「They’re definitely attacking…..」
Well then, as a 6-year old child I should probably go back home and call my father.
My father is a powerful magician, these orks shouldn’t be a problem for him.
But he won’t make it in time.
That being said, I can only use detection and weak fire magic.
And my fire magic isn’t even tested.
「…..No. Using this fire magic, I can at least restrict the orks」
Can’t help it.
I’ve decided to use magic for my own sake in this new life, but…….
「Her dying here would leave a bad aftertaste」
I heaved a sigh and rushed towards the barrier.
「Well then…..a question for Iris-sama!」
「Ah, am I still under suspicion?」
「Question number one! Where did Iris-sama came from!?」
「Even if you ask……from that direction」
She couldn’t just say 『I’m a biological weapon from the Kurifot continent, best regards』, so she only pointed a direction.
Technically she didn’t lie.
「I don’t understand」
「……From beyond the sea…….a small island」
「I see. Am I right to presume that Iris-sama is the goddess born from the locals’ faith?」
「Well…….there wasn’t a single human back on the island」
「Eh, so you are a goddess that appeared naturally!?」
「….Who knows…..?」
There were indeed no humans. After all, it was an island of demons.
However, Iris wasn’t born spontaneously but from a capsule.
Katie’s misunderstanding came in handy.
Iris wasn’t good at lying, she couldn’t come up with the setting herself.
「I’ve heard that a god appearing naturally is considered a high-ranking entity. For example, the Creation God was the same. He had the powers of god even without faith. However, there aren’t many examples, so even Supreme Divine Will Cult doesn’t have comprehensive knowledge!」
「Is that so…..but I don’t really know myself」
「I see, Iris-sama has no awareness of the matter……however, if you are truly naturally born, it’s a major discovery! Please come to Supreme Divine Will Cult’s headquarters. We’ll get you a better church right away」
「No way! I won’t move a step from here! I’ll go wild if you push me too hard!」
This village’s population isn’t that great, yet it’s already stressful.
There are definitely many people in Supreme Divine Will Cult’s headquarters.
She won’t survive.
「I-I understand, please don’t go wild! Supreme Divine Will Cult respects the gods’ wishes. Nevertheless, I have more questions to determine whether you’re an evil god or not」
「A-Alright……come at me!」
「Question number two! Have your villagers done something suspicious, or any kind of strange rituals!?」
「No!」
「Question number three! Have you ever demanded a sacrifice!?」
「No!」
「Question number four! Have you ever been defeated and sealed by a hero!?」
「No way!」
「The last question! Are you an evil god!?」
「Of course not!」
Iris is the daughter of the Great Demon King.
Not an evil god.
She didn’t lie even once.
「Oh…..everything is in order……it seems Iris-sama is not an evil god after all!」
Katie happily delivered her verdict.
「I’m happy beyond measure…….」
「Isn’t that great? Now we have an approval of Supreme Divine Will Cult」
「Big Sister Iris wasn’t an evil god. Wai」
「I’ve believed in you, Iris-sama!」
「Punipuni」
「It’s good the questions were easy」said Punigami.
In fact, is there any evil god who would answer yes?
Although Iris wasn’t an evil god, she wondered whether this inquisitor missed quite a bit of evil gods with these methods.
Or maybe this girl is just an airhead.
「I’ll make a report to Supreme Divine Will Cult about Iris-sama and Eclipse-sama not being evil gods. I’d like to stay in the village to compile my report, is this alright with you?」
Katie asked Sheryl.
「It’s all right. Stay as long as you want」
「Thank you very much. Also, I want to talk with Muriel-sama about the event of two hundred years ago」
「Umu, then you should participate in a snowball fight with This Mistress. Then I’ll tell you」
「Snowball fight? Bring it on!」
Katie suddenly became quite eager.
Does she like snowball fights?
「I’ll participate too」
「It’s an honor to participate in a snowball fight with the gods! Will Iris-sama join us?」
Asked Katie with sparkling eyes.
Apparently, she liked snowball fights to no end.
「…..Katie. Could it be you have nothing to do?」
Asked Iris from pure curiosity.
「Y-You’re wrong! I don’t have many achievements yet, so I don’t get jobs too often, that’s all!」
「So you are free」
「Gunuu!」
Right on target.
It seems Supreme Divine Will Cult doesn’t think much of this village since it dispatched someone like Katie.
Because it doesn’t think of it as important, the interference should be minimal.
Great, thank god, thought Iris as she climbed under the blanket.
There was a thundering sound in a building called the Temple of Darkness.
There was a pile of corpses of those who challenged『It』before in the corner of the temple.
It was the sound of the Demon King unleashing his blow, strong enough to rock the entire temple.
The swords released by the Demon King pierced into the sage’s body one after another, as they produced red splashes.
「Sage. Have my praise for pushing me to such an extent……however…..」
He approached the sage, who slowly raised his face, to deliver the final blow.
「Your life ends here!!」
The blood fell down his chin.
Perhaps because the sage didn’t have enough magical power to use healing magic, his body was full of wounds.
There was no healer to fix him either.
Everyone who came here before did so in a party with cooperation in mind.
However, the sage was alone.
Having enormous magical power, the strongest sage had no need in comrades.
Facing the Demon King who was about to unleash his ultimate attack, the sage —-
「What…..?」
Laughed at the Demon King’s words.
The blood flowing down his face lit up with blue light.
「Ah, finally. To be honest, I’ve almost fainted from the blood loss. But it doesn’t matter now」
「I-Impossible! What’s with this magical power?」
The Demon King, who was about to finish off the sage, visibly faltered.
「I’ve never felt such enormous magical power……」
「I’m honored to be praised by the Demon King himself. It’s my first time too」
「What!?! B-B̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲!! What are you trying to do!?」
「– Divine magic,『Reincarnation Art』, activate. With my body, my blood, my magical power as a price –」
Gusha — there was a sound of something tearing apart.
「Wha…?」
Enduring the shockwave, the Demon King lowered his gaze.
「Impossible……Impossible, impossible!!」
The right side of his body vanished.
The left side was wrapped in light as it gradually turned into dust.
「What on earth is this? What the hell did you do……!?」
「I sacrifice the lives of 1000 high-ranking demons」
The sage had trouble breathing.
「You are the 1000th. It was dull until this point. — As you’ve said, my life ends here. This time」
The moment he said that.
A huge magic circle enveloped the whole temple.
「Sorry. This is my dream. I’m sorry for dragging you into this….you’ve killed a fair share of humans. It’s time repent」
「For me….for me to fall at this place! As a sacrifice to a human’s spell!! Sage-sama, this, this magic…..」
The Demon King vanished before finishing his line.
This was the end.
And the beginning.
After all, all the conditions for this spell were finally completed.
「At last」
If successful, he could reincarnate into a new human being with his memories intact.
「If successful, after all….」
Even though he didn’t fail even once, he couldn’t stay calm in this situation.
「There should be no problem. All conditions have been met. The magical formula is at work. It won’t fail. It’s time for a new life」
With this『Reincarnation Art』–.
His longtime wish was about to be fulfilled.
The days of saving people left and right are over.
There is no need to accept challenges or defeating demon kings.
Anyway, I want my next life to be more relaxing.
It’d be nice to reincarnate into a rich and handsome scion to play around.
「I’ve saved humanity so many times, you can at least give me this much」
The reincarnation magic was about to be completed.
As if blessing his next life, divine light enveloped the sage.
He closed his eyes with high expectations.
His consciousness dimmed…….
◇◇◇
And once the reincarnation happened I….
Found myself the youngest child of Count Radcliff named Eddie.
The memory came back at the 6th birthday.
The moment I woke up on the bed, it came back to me.
Magic rituals, chants, all of his accumulated knowledge rushed into his head.
「Uwaa….kuh….」
Extremely nauseating feeling.
As if my insides are being reconstructed.
Far from breathing, I couldn’t even blink, only stare at the ceiling.
The torrent of information died down when my mind was on the verge of collapsing.
「I see…that’s how it happened……I remember everything…….although I feel horrible……」
Groaning, I pushed his face into the pillow.
I’ve made it in a way that the memory won’t come back immediately on purpose.
Still,『collapse』or『reconstruction』.
I’m using words a normal 6-year-old child shouldn’t know as if it’s only natural.
My muddled consciousness finally produced some thoughts. Apparently, my way of thinking didn’t change since the previous life.
「Haa, it finally subsided. That didn’t feel nice at all…….」
To get back all the memories at my 6th birthday.
Should have made it come back in part since infancy.
It’s good that my mind could withstand it.
I’ve put my hand on top of my erratically beating heart and slowly got up.
The problem lied in a fact that during these 6 years I didn’t use magic even once.
Forget about that, there wasn’t even an aptitude examination.
I was told that magic and swordsmanship training is dangerous, so I didn’t have to do it.
The Radcliff house is quite wealthy and I’m deeply loved by my parents and siblings.
The youngest child, who wasn’t considered an heir, could easily spend his whole life playing around.
Having no duties, living as I want, what a blessed life I got for myself.
Even though it’s me, it feels like I’m talking about someone else.
Me of the previous life, me of the current life.
It’d take a while for those two minds to align, I thought to myself.
Be that as it may……
Let’s confirm my status.
「Status, open」
************
Name: Eddie

As you’d expect from a child.
Both, hit points and magic points and few.
Even though I have some magical power, it’s not displayed since I haven’t mastered any spells.
「Whatever, have to learn some magic first」
I have memories of magic rituals and chants.
I also remember the feeling of using magic.
「Un, I have a suitable location in mind」

— To stay in the shadows instead of becoming the greatest sage.
Eddie buried his memories of obliterating the Demon King and enrolled in the Royal Academy as a normal 6-year old boy.
Of course, after the death of the Demon King, he nurtured his retainers and acted as the Ruler of Darkness in secret.
Sometimes the Ruler of Darkness.
Sometimes a freshman in the magic academy.
This is a story of the strongest juvenile sage and those who swore loyalty to him.

6-Year Old Sage
The man once known as the strongest sage reincarnated as a 6-year-old boy – Eddie. Having retained the memories of his previous life, having exceeded his previous peak, he came to a decision. — To stay in the…
So here it is folks, this will be the last World of Immortals chapter release you’ll see from me. If anyone is interested to pick up this project, feel free to do so.
Though I do have to confess, I did skim ahead a few hundred chapters during this past year, and this story is not what I expected it to be, thus my loss of interest. Anyway, for those who genuinely enjoy reading this series…
Click here to read Chapter 244 – Solar Knight
The bright moonlight spilled on the mountain woods below. It was as if a wide expanse of pure white feathers falling gently. Under the clear moonlight, the path that crossed through the mountain woods looked like a brown eastern dragon.
The five hundred knights each had a solemn expression. Each and every one of them ambience of a war god. The armor they wore flickered with a metallic glint. Sword marks were visible on all of the armors, which recorded their glorious past.
This was the world renowned Solar Brigade of the West. This brigade had slayed gods and demons in the distant past. Although the former knights were no longer in the brigade, their armors had been passed down from generation to generation. This was a kind of honor, this was a kind of glory!
To be named a Solar Knight, that was the dream of many men in the West.
Each of the five hundred knights exuded a murderous aura. When they came together, the murderous aura directly pierced the skies. This kind of imposing aura truly sent a chill down one’s spine. They were either carrying a golden lance or a two-handed sword at their backs, every one of them emitted a faint bloody aura. They were powerful practitioners who had been bathed in the blood of their enemies. Their blond hair fluttering in the bloody mist were as dazzling as the sunlight.
Their mounts were no ordinary beasts. To name a few, there were lesser dragons with thick scales all over — the Earth Dragon, or exotic primal beasts like the Winged Leopard.
Shocking, the impression the five hundred knights gave could only be described with that one word.
Xiao Chen and co. had already fell back and observed the knights from the distant sky. They felt that these five hundred knights possessed unimaginable strength. It seemed as if they could sweep across the battlefield, even when facing a million men army!
The five hundred knights crowded around Zhao Lin Er. The little unicorn had a body that seemed to be made out of fine jade. It seemed ever more extraordinary under the brilliance of the gentle moonlight. Four years had passed since they parted from the dragon island, it had already grown to the size of an ordinary horse.
Zhao Lin Er sat upright on the little unicorn. She seemed so refined under the splendor of the hazy moonlight. Her beauty was indisputable. It seemed like her status in the ranks was considerably high. The five hundred knights grouped around as if to protect her.
This made Xiao Chen a little speechless. The grudge between them was already hard to ascertain. After the intervention of Lan Nuo, it was better to not face each other in a life or death situation anymore. Though Xiao Chen never thought she’d be able obtain this kind of position. A natural-born princess was different from the common folks indeed.
“Isn’t this that Zhao chick? I could already tell when we were on the dragon island, she is extraordinary indeed.” Oxman rocked his horns with a pensive look.
As for Dugu Jianmo, he only took a quick glance at Zhao Lin Er before he focused his attention on the five hundred knights.
“S-s-say… d-d-do you… think… that unicorn… is a g-g-good… match for my l-l-little… donkey? A-a-and… d-d-do… you… think… t-t-that… chick… r-r-riding on the unicorn… i-i-is… a… g-g-good… match with… m-m-me?” The slitted eyes of the vulgar guy were gleaming with desire.
Oxman’s lips twitched as he rebuked, “Stop daydreaming! How can a toad like you dream to eat a swan? Hah!”
“T-t-this… this is not daydreaming, this is c-c-call… called having a dream, having aspiration!” Chrysus squinted his eyes and said, “H-h-have you… n-n-never heard of it before? A wise man o-o-once… said… A f-f-frog… who don’t… e-e-eat… a swan… is n-n-not… a good frog.”
The five hundred knights surrounded Zhao Lin Er. When they walked past the battlefield just now, they came to a halt immediately.
Although they conducted an air battle earlier, the energy flow had yet to disperse completely. And the experts among them had already sensed the anomaly around this place before the battle came to an end. Only that, they didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, so they didn’t send a scout ahead of them.
All five hundred of the knights wielded their weapons and raised their guard. Only until three elderly knights stepped forward to lead the way did they finally continue to be on their way. However, all of them had already drawn their weapons and the tension was high.
“Their vigilance is so high.” Xiao Chen looked at their fading figures and said, “Perhaps something big is about to happen.”
“Those are the Solar Brigade!” Those are the only words that came out of the silent Dugu Jianmo’s mouth.
Everyone was finally aware that these are definitely the soldiers from one of the five sovereign nation, the Roman Empire. This empire was a theocratic nation. However, they did not worship a sole god. The fate of the nation was controlled by a few big churches in turn. The monarch was appointed by those Roman Catholic pope.
The Solar Church was a symbol for everything that was holy and light. It was one of the biggest church in the empire. The god of the Solar Church was also known as the God of Light.
The Solar Brigade was Solar Church’s guardian knights. They had once made a name for themselves during the ancient war.
“I-is the… S-s… S-s-sovereign nation… a-a-about to… wage war?” Chrysus’ keen intuition caught on to something.
They saw the city gate of Yindu opening. A group of people came to welcome them and invited the five hundred knights into the capital.
“B… b-b-brother… let us go… go-go-go… and sell the tiger skin. I’ll b-b-b… bring you guys to a good place to play. T-t-that… is but the legendary… v-v-v… village of gods! Who knows… w-w-we… might get lucky… and… c-c-court a fairy… to be our wives!” The vulgar guy had lewd expression painted all across his face.
Regarding the so-called village of gods, even the cold-blooded Dugu Jianmo was just as interested. All of them didn’t have any objection and travelled for hundreds of miles with Chrysus in the lead.
However… when they arrived at their destination, the so-called village of gods was far too inauspicious. This place was a burial ground, it was filled with tombstones everywhere. The green-colored will-o’-wisps that lit up the darkness here and there were especially eerie.
Furthermore, they could hear an indescribable scream transmitted from distant location. In addition to the bones they occasionally stepped on, this place had practically zero amount of holiness. It was more like a domain of the ghosts.
“W-w-we… we’re… here. T-t-t… the village of gods is a floating village. I-I-I… heard it will float over this area very soon.”
The Crimson Dragon King, Onyx Dragon King, and little donkey took off to the sky while carrying their own masters. Xiao Chen followed behind them closely.
The sky was clear of clouds and wind. There was nothing abnormal. The stars glittered, and the moon was hanging high in the sky. They couldn’t find any traces of the so-called village of gods.
“Did you trick us again you stutter, so infuriating!”
“N-n-n… no way. I-I-I… I heard of from an o-o-old… from an old martial uncle. This is definitely the place.”
However, no matter the stuttering guy explained, they still couldn’t find any trace of the village. In the end, they had no choice but to leave.
But when they flew for ten or so miles, they suddenly felt a fluctuation transmitted from the sky. A vast stretch of black clouds drifted past and instantly covered the moon and the stars. It caused the burial ground ahead of them to appear pitch-black. They couldn’t even catch a hint of light from within.
“Is this… the village of gods you’re referring to?”
Xiao Chen and co. could feel that the black clouds in the sky was absolutely not as simple as it looked. The pressure caused them to hold their breath. They didn’t rush up there impulsively. Rather, they chose to observe from far away.
“Pzzt… Pzzt…”
Huge lightnings were dancing wildly in the black clouds. Each of these lightnings were at thick as a hill. They were countless times more terrifying than a normal lightning. It was easy to imagine that if they were to rush over there rashly, they would definitely be turned into ashes by the lightning strike.
The vulgar guy pulled back his neck and said stammeringly, “L-l-l-looks like… there are entry restriction. It-it-it’s… not a place we can enter.”
“It looks like a devil’s village no matter how I looked at it.”
Although they were curious, they didn’t want to put their lives on the line. Even if they wanted to go up there to take a closer look, they still chose to fall back in the face of those scary lightnings.
“S-s… s-s… see you… a-a-around… brothers. Wait till I sell off the tiger skin, I’ll g-g-go… find you guys to s… s-s-s… split up the profits!”
The vulgar Chrysus slipped away on the little donkey.
Dugu Jianmo didn’t say anything. He just let the Crimson Dragon King fly towards the deep mountain by itself, and he made his way to Yindu. He wouldn’t leave the Shang Dynasty for a while, he was attracted by the sword skills of Daoist Zhang Sanfeng.
Oxman patted the Onyx Dragon King and said, “Don’t fight with the Crimson Dragon King, let’s go to another mountain range.”
He was not afraid that the Onyx Dragon King would suffer losses. After all, Dugu Jianmo was not his enemy. If the Onyx Dragon King used the dragon’s sacred sword and really beheaded the Crimson Dragon King, he fear that he would have to face Dugu Jianmo in a life or death battle.
“Not every Dragon King has to face each other in a life or death battle, some ought to be able to live on. It isn’t time for you guys to engage in a decisive battle yet.” In regards to the bitter fate of the dragon race, Oxman sympathized with it. He tried to console the Onyx Dragon King with words.
And finally, a black light flew towards a mountain range in the distance.
Oxman looked at Xiao Chen and said, “You should leave Yindu as soon as possible. Since we’ve killed the strong tiger, everyone will suspect it is related to you under this kind of circumstances.”
“It doesn’t matter. All I need is just to change my appearance. Yindu is about to become bustling with noise and excitement, I am not willing to leave.”
Xiao Chen let Oxman leave first. Then he executed the Eightfold Worlds and blended into the night sky at the opposite direction.
The morning glow of the sun spilled from the East and lit up the streets of Yindu. A new day was beginning.
It was bound to be noisy today.
On the wasteland beyond the west gate of Yindu, the half destroyed corpse was recognized by people as the demigod level strong tiger.
A demigod died just like this… once this news reached Yindu, many people immediately came up with all sorts of links.
The tiger clan was an absolute power in the Middle Earth. They possessed long history and unfathomable strength. Someone actually dared to extract a tooth from the tiger’s den. It took great courage for one to accomplish such feat!
As long as their ancestor, the Tiger Saint, was still backing them up, they were definitely the hardest clan to provoke under the heaven.
One must know that the Tiger Saint could be claimed as an equal with the true “king” of the dragons. There were even rumors that he had once faced Buddha. Although it didn’t win, it was able to escape unscathed. Such terrifying strength could only be described as “cheat”.
Recalling everything that happened recently, Xiao Shishui naturally became the target of doubt.
Many people were secretly guessing that perhaps Xiao Shishui could really face a demigod head-on with his divine ability. It was possible to fight with an opponent one rank higher with powerful divine abilities. Many people thought it was extremely possible that the strong tiger was killed by Xiao Shishui.
Of course, there were also some people who were doubtful. Regardless of how powerful was Xiao Shishui, he was just a Historia level youth expert. It was impossible for him to kill a demigod. This might be a conspiracy, the strong tiger must have been killed by an older generation expert and he deliberately altered the facts.
There were even some who thought Xiao Chen had returned. Although many said he died during that night three years ago, nobody had ever seen his corpse. Many people were guessing that Xiao Chen had returned with a group of experts for vengeance.
Numerous rumors began to spread, everyone was discussing spiritedly.
And another big news spread among the influential lords, the priestess of the Sun God’s Church arrived at Shang Dynasty’s capital with five hundred knights, with hope of forming an alliance to stand off against another sovereign nation — the Vatican.
Although it was only spread among limited personnels, some who knew of the mainland’s circumstances knew that Vatican and Rome were going to engage in war sooner or later. They’ve been minor conflict breaking out every now and then. And Rome also had many conflicts with Shang Dynasty for the past hundred years, so it was not strange for Rome to propose an alliance.
Everyone in the know already realized war was approaching. Yindu was about to enter a turbulent time.
During the following days, the delegates of Roman Empire and Shang Dynasty frequently engaged in private discussions.
On the fifth day, in the royal garden; the beautiful Zhao Lin Er stood in lakeside pavilion with ice-cold expression. She shattered the cup in her hand and frightened the koi in the lake.
The little unicorn who grazed on the fragrant lawn not far away looked over with dubious expression.
A few Solar Knights walked into the pavilion with quick steps. All of them were young man. Not only were they the strongest among the five hundred knights, they were also the priestess’ most faithful followers. All of them were extremely angry.
“The Shang Dynasty is too much! That second prince actually wanted the priestess to become his consort. He deserves death!”
“Priestess, please permit me to duel with him, I will definitely cut down his head!”
“We are willing to fight for the priestess!”
Zhao Lin Er gradually calmed down, then a bell-like voice resounded in the pavilion, “Don’t rush indiscriminately into action. If their conditions are bad, we can just refuse. It is unnecessary to bear arms. This is Yindu, not Rome, don’t cause trouble here.”
“However… they are too much. They should know about our church’s doctrine, that the priestess must remain untainted, yet they dared to make such demand.”
“No harm done, though I do have an idea. I’ll request permission to challenge the Yindu’s experts. We will not shed blood, so take care not to overdo it. Since they are humiliating us, then we must hit them back. We have to make them lose face by defeating all of their so-called young elites.”
“Oh honorable priestess, you can place your faith in us, we won’t let you down.”
She sighed lightly and said, “I am only afraid that you guys might suffer mishap. This is their capital city, even if you guys defeated all of the youth experts in this city, so what? This is their nation, if they cared about their face, they can summon their strongest youth experts at any time. When that time comes, the only ones to suffer will be you guys.”
“The Shang Dynasty’s strongest youth experts…”
The Solar Knights’ expressions froze as a few figures appeared in their mind. They recalled the rumored men and women of the Shang Dynasty. They paid especially close attention to the youth experts around the world, so they naturally had a certain understanding. However, the few of them still smiled in the end.
“We will take care not to overdo it and will not make a big fuss over them. Besides, even if their strongest experts show up, so what? Our Solar Church’s most powerful experts will be here soon. And the outstanding figures from other big churches will also arrive. At that time, we should have enough power to suppress the undisputable experts of Shang Dynasty.
The strong tiger was killed, yet not only did Xiao Shishui didn’t run away, he even showed up in broad daylight. This made everyone incessantly dubious. If Xiao Shishui really did it, would he still dare to stay in Yindu?
After all, that strong tiger was not an ordinary tiger. It was rumored that he was a seedling that the White Tiger Saint was going to cultivate personally. Many people were guessing that it might really be unrelated to Xiao Chen. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to stay in Yindu for a second longer.
And Yindu was very lively during the following days. The experts of Solar Church issued challenges all over Yindu district. The underlings of the second prince all suffered crushing defeat.
The Spell Casters and Western-style Martial Artists caused a storm in Yindu which engulfed the youth generation.
The defeat of the second prince was merely the beginning. Soon after, their challenges escalated, even the supreme clans of Yindu were getting caught up in it. Even though Bosch and Chen Hanggin achieved consecutive victories, the other rich kids mostly suffered crushing defeat.
Xiao Chen completely adopted the attitude of a spectator. Whenever he came across a duel, he would certainly go to watch. In other word, he was free and at leisure. These days, he had been avoiding the third princess. According to his conjecture, the third princess would definitely ask him and Dugu Jianmo to take the challenge sooner or later. And Xiao Chen didn’t want to get drawn into the whirlpool this time.
Yindu was in turbulent times. The remaining two of the Heroic Four were rushing back. And the third princess even wrote letters in her own handwriting to invite the other rumored youth experts to come to the imperial capital.
Meanwhile, the experts from Solar Church would be here soon, and the outstanding figures of other big churches would also be arriving at Yindu before long.
Regarding these, no matter it was the older generation figures of Shang Dynasty or the bishops of Solar Church, they only smiled. The alliance was already set in the stone, but some “conflict” still need to be conducted. Although they didn’t arrange it personally, they still pay close attention to it. They wanted to see if the figures of the next generation could put pressure on the other side.
I sincerely apologize to those who were eagerly waiting for new chapters these past year, do know that I’ve read your comment and have taken them into consideration, however, I just can’t do this anymore. There are not enough interest generated from this series and even I myself have lost my interest, so translating this series has become something of a chore. It’s not like I’m receiving money to translate anyway.

It was brightly lit ahead. This was an inn that occupied a really big area. It was located right below a two hundred meter tall hill. The hill was filled with rare flowers. Even though they were very far away from said hill, they could still smell the refreshing fragrance of flowers carried by the wind.
This was the most flourishing area in Yindu city. It was very close to the culinary street, and just a little further was the Moonflower Castle. Furthermore, it was only three miles away from Flowing Cloud Casino.
An average person could not afford to stay in this high class inn.
Chrysus was deadly earnest as he quickly carved some letters on the slate, “Humans has too many weak points, and the strong tiger is no exception. He is proud and arrogant, he will not put us younger generation in his eyes. Even if he knows it’s a trap, he will still come after you.”
Writing until that part, he added, “I know his personality very well. I have already observed him for a long time. You can just go in like this and lure him out no problem.”
Xiao Chen nodded and said, “Alright, you guys fall back first, I’ll be back real quick.”
After they finished surveying the area, Chrysus, Dugu Jianmo, and Oxman left behind three afterimages and disappeared to the end of the street.
Xiao Chen stood still in place for a good while. After he confirmed that his body and mind were in top condition, he silent flew towards the inn under the dim light of night. He flew past one courtyard after another and stopped in front of a three-storey building.
The lightning was still lit, and the windows were wide open. The fragrance of flowers was carried by the wind into the building. A thirty six years old man was sitting in meditation while baring his upper body. His body appeared to be very sturdy. It was nearly two times wider than an ordinary person’s body. He was not obese, in fact, those were muscles filled with explosive power. It was like a baby dragon was coiling around his body. It gave people a shocking image.
One could easily imagine how much power could burst out when he attacks.
As if he could sense something, he opened his eyes at this very moment. The sound of lightning suddenly reverberated in the night sky. This was definitely not a hallucination. The sound of a huge storm actually broke out.
His gaze was very intimidating. He swept his eyes over the sky and the instant that he spotted Xiao Chen, the corner of his mouth curved into a sneer. Then he suddenly jumped up from his sitting position.
Xiao Chen stood upright as his black hair was brushed by the wind. He stood in the sky without moving an inch. His two eyes were as bright as the stars. He looked at the strong tiger indifferently, there wasn’t even a hint of fear.
“You really dared to make a move first?” The strong tiger walked towards the window. A powerful aura pervaded the air and was heading towards the sky to envelop Xiao Chen.
Without any words, Xiao Chen lifted his right hand emotionlessly and launched the Telepathic Sword Wave in an instant. This time, it was not the destructive sphere. A sword wave about the thickness of a water jar ripped apart the sky and rushed forward like a winding dragon.
Without making any sound, the three-storey building was turned into dusts. Not even a single rubble remained. The destructive power of the Telepathic Sword Wave was as one could well imagine.
However, the speed of the strong tiger was astonishingly fast. As if he was teleporting, he actually appeared in the sky one step ahead. The corner of his mouth exposed a cruel smile as he singled out Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen turned around and ran right away. He executed the Eightfold Worlds and took a light step in the empty sky. Just a single step and he was already a few miles away, it was an unprecedented speed.
The strong tiger couldn’t get the sneer off his face. He transformed into a streak of light to pursue and attack. He was not afraid of Xiao Chen’s so-called trap at all. To him, the younger generations were nothing but chickens and dogs who couldn’t withstand a single blow.
“Nobody will save you tonight!” His cold voice reverberated in the night sky.
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything, but his opinion of Chrysus had risen. He really did understand the temperament of this strong tiger. It seemed that he had already observed and studied his behavior for a really long time.
The mastery of Eightfold Worlds gave Xiao Chen a huge boost in confidence. He clearly felt that even if the strong tiger raised his speed to the limit, he still wouldn’t be able to catch up to him, so he deliberately slowed down and maintained a fixed distance.
After exiting the city walls for a short while, the shadow of a mountain could already be seen. He quickly flew towards that mountain.
The strong tiger frowned, but he still continued the chase.
The dragon cry shook the world as a red lightning flashed. The dragon-qi engulfed the heaven and earth along with a powerful gale. Dugu Jianmo rushed over for the kill while mounting the Crimson Dragon King. The red light and sword-qi interweaved as they struck down.
The strong tiger was furious. He turned around and clashed with the hundred meter light beam with his tiger claw. Bright light burst forth and shook the world. The strong tiger sucked in a mouthful of cold air and fell back.
Not far away, the Crimson Dragon King faced upward and let out a roar. It only took a few steps back with Dugu Jianmo mounted on it. The dragon and man actually faced the attack of a demigod head-on!
The Crimson Dragon King was always staying in the deep mountains close to Yindu. It finally reunited with Dugu Jianmo after waiting for so many days. It was definitely the most brutal of the Dragon Kings. It radiance of its red scales resembled the raging inferno. The murderous aura emitted by it was even fiercer than Dugu Jianmo’s. The icy snowflakes actually began to form in the sky.
It was biting cold!
This dragon and man pair could be said to be extremely well-suited.
“So it’s you little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲s̲!” Evidently, the strong tiger knew these dragon and man.
In response, Dugu Jianmo and the Crimson Dragon King emitted an even denser murderous aura.
And yet another dragon cry could be heard. A black lightning cut through the sky and arrived in a flash. Accompanying the dragon cry was another cry, “Moo…”
The ear-splitting dragon cry and the oppressive mooing pierced the vast sky.
The giant demonic bull was about the size of a hill. It was charging towards the strong tiger. The ox’s eyes were exuding cold glints and its horns tore the space.
“Boom!”
It charged right into the strong tiger and created two black hole-like tunnels. The strong tiger was narrowly thrown into the black holes.
The strong tiger’s expression changed at once. It was yet another formidable youth who hit a demigod like him head-on.
“I-I-I.. I am a-a-also… c-c-coming!” Chrysus shouted and rushed over from the distant sky. It really made everyone speechless. He was actually riding a donkey and carried a huge cleaver in hands.
Not only Xiao Chen, even Oxman and Dugu Jianmo were dumbstruck. This daylight assassin, even his outfit… showed individuality.
So be it if all he did was riding the donkey. After all, that was not a normal donkey. It was an amazing donkey that could fly. However, he actually carried a large sized vegetable knife. Could that actually be his assassination weapon?
When he saw the snow-white little donkey, the strong tiger was startled. And after he saw the king-sized cleaver, he immediately gnashed his teeth, “It’s you… Chrysus? The b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ who killed four of my nephews!”
The vulgar guy performed a sword dance with the extra large cleaver. The sword-qi that filled the sky resembled the waves of the ocean. The little donkey was nodding its head and wagging its tail. Although the power behind the attack was astonishing, this kind of combination made people feel extremely awkward instead.
“It-it-it… it’s the a-a-a, arrival of… t-t-the grand assassin. A-a-also known as… t-t-t-tiger… slaughtering… specialist!”
“Your life is mine!” The strong tiger got angry at once. The hatred he held for Chrysus was more than the one he held for Xiao Chen. A long lance appeared in his hand. It weighed at least five hundred kilograms, but he raised the long spear as though it was as light as a feather. He raised the long spear above his head and attacked Chrysus.
The white little donkey was amazingly fast. It dodged the attack in the twinkling of an eye. The vulgar guy brandished the extra large cleaver and shouted: “Chopping Bok Choy!” as he chopped towards the strong tiger’s head.
The so-called chopping bok choy meant chopping off the head. However, the way this guy called it was extremely awkward.
He spun the Copper Tiger Lance and deflected the extra large cleaver. At the same time, a deathly power pervaded the air along with a wisps of fog. The strong tiger went for the kill, he had vowed that he would kill this fearful young assassin.
“Die!”
“Die!”
“Die!”
Xiao Chen, Dugu Jianmo, and Oxman rushed in at the same time. They didn’t hold back and each executed a fierce move.
Xiao Chen used the Seal of Aquarius as soon as the enemy was in range. The huge crystal vase floated above his head. It instantly spurt out a light beam that overshadowed the splendor of the moon and the stars. The strong tiger was submerged in the light beam.
Dugu Jianmo was even more ferocious. His body welled up with vital energy and another Dugu Jianmo had come into existence. In the end, it actually fused with the b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ sword in his hand as he slashed at the glaring light beam.
Oxman let out a loud moo as though he was a wild bull. The ox king soul within his body transformed into a black light and charged into the strong tiger.
And meanwhile, the Crimson Dragon King and Onyx Dragon King let out a long roar. The space was distorted by the dragon’s divine power. The bloody light and black light combined and stormed into the dazzling light screen.
Their charge caused the deathly fog around Chrysus to disperse. The four young experts’ shocking moves also charged in at the same time.
A meteoric boom was produced. The sky was so bright that it was impossible for people to keep their eyes open. The violent energy wave was so powerful that the four of them were getting blown away.
The aggressive strong tiger, after receiving the four’s combined attack, his body shook violently and the blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth. He almost fell from the sky.
When the brilliant rays faded away, the four of them stood guard at four directions. They surrounded the strong tiger whose complexion had turned somewhat pale.
Even the white tiger had no choice but to admit, the four of them were outstanding youths. Even he wouldn’t necessarily be able to reach their level when he was young. He feared that he might really be in for some trouble tonight!
“You little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲s̲ have some real skills!” The strong tiger sneered and said, “But that’s still not enough. You guys are not even close to the level of demigods. You will never understand the gap between the major realms. All of you will die tonight!”
The strong tiger put away the Copper Tiger Lance. With a roar, its entire body shone with bright light and it actually transformed into a ten meter long white tiger!
“It-it-it… it’s really… a tiger, w-w-w… with Divine Marks. B-b-brother… charge! It-it-it… it’s a priceless white tiger skin…”
Chrysus shouted as he urged the little donkey. He brandished the large sized cleaver and was the first to charge in. The little donkey rushed under the belly of the white tiger. The vulgar guy swung his cleaver up and shouted, “Digging belly,” at the same time.
The white tiger dropped its huge claw and deflected the large cleaver. At the same time, the blazing aura blew Chrysus away, causing the little donkey and himself to flip over in the sky.
Although Xiao Chen and co. charged over promptly, they couldn’t stop Chrysus being blown away. Without further delay, the three of them attacked at once. The light beams from three men two dragons clashed with the white tiger head-on. Both sides were forcefully pushed back.
In the split second that the white tiger were being pushed back, Chrysus rode the little donkey and mounted a sneak attack.
“Chopping trotters!”
The large-sized cleaver flickered with a bright radiance and firmly hacked the white tiger’s rearfoot.
“Roar…” The white tiger’s bellow contained both pain and anger. At the same time, it whipped its seven to eight meter long iron-like tail towards Chrysus.
“Peel off buttocks!”
The vulgar guy calmly and quickly urged the little donkey to close in instead of retreating. They charged towards starting point of the tail. Not only did they avoid the hit, Chrysus even tried to cut the crotch region of the white tiger with the big cleaver.
Not only did this guy look vulgar, even his attacks were just as vulgar. What “Chopping Bok Choy”, “Digging Belly”, “Chopping trotters”, “Pell off buttocks”, etc. One move after another was more vulgar than the former.
However, all of them could tell he was not just playing around. That was because every time Chrysus made a move, he was completely synced with the cleaver. The surrounding space didn’t distort at all. Rather, they were erased. Otherwise, how was it possible for him to break through a demigod’s protective layer!
It was truly terrifying.
Yet it was awkward!
Extremely awkward!
This was what the white tiger was feeling at the moment. This youth actually ignored his defense and was capable of truly harming him.
This was really unimaginable. It must be mentioned that he was a demigod! And the other party, who was just a Historia level expert, was actually ignoring his defense. If this was also a divine ability, and if they allowed him to grow, the Tiger clan would face imminent catastrophe.
The vulguy guy’s action couldn’t really be called… beautiful. However, his skill was the real deal. The large-sized cleaver erased the space noiselessly, and it was heading towards the white tiger’s nether region ruthlessly.
It actually caused the white tiger to jump up like a worn out old horse kicking backwards. He jumped in an awkward position and avoided the impending attack.
After seeing Chrysus’ all out performance, how could the other three not use their most powerful skill. Dugu Jianmo’s existence slowly became thinner. After which, he actually became one with his b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ sword. They fused and transformed into a gigantic divine sword. As a show of intimidating, he swept across all directions and exuded deadly aura all over the sky!
He then charged in directly for the kill!
Facing the charging b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ sword, the white tiger’s face turned pale. The divine power of these four youth experts, one after another was more bizarre and stronger than the former. They truly had enough power to shake up a demigod.
While letting out a loud roar, the white tiger spew out a light beam from its open mouth. The beam clashed with the murderous divine sword in the sky.
The divine sword, which was made from the fusion of Dugu Jianmo and the b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ sword, pierced through the breath attack and it actually landed a hit on the white tiger’s shoulder.
“Pfff!”
Blood splashed everywhere. The ten meters long white tiger received a deep cut on its shoulder. The blood gushed out wildly and dyed the sky red.
The white tiger bellowed in rage. Dugu Jianmo retreated to the rear after his successful attack.
The white tiger wanted to pursue and attack, but the Crimson Dragon King launched its dragon martial skill and blocked his path.
And meanwhile, as if Oxman had become deranged, his hair was a royal mess. The ox-horns on his head instantly lengthened to one meter long. He had fused with the ox king’s soul in his body. He actually had signs of beastification. With a moo, he charged over like a wild bull.
So fast! Even Xiao Chen who possessed extreme speed was a little shocked.
Oxman was like a streak of black light and hit his target in a split second.
“Bang!”
The wild bull-like Oxman breached the white tiger’s protective aura with his one meter long ox-horns. The horns were firmly stuck on the white tiger’s left rib and left behind two terrifying bloody holes. And the powerful collision of the wild bull even sent the white tiger flying up.
“You little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲s̲…” The white tiger was extremely furious.
However, without waiting for his to correct his stance, Xiao Chen attacked with Eightfold Worlds.
The eight worlds started to rotate. They became clearer over time, as if there were eight genuine worlds descending from heaven.
In just a blink of an eye, the white tiger was already trapped in the lake zone. Even a demigod like the strong tiger felt as if he was stuck in a swamp. He was actually unable to break free straight away. He had been trapped inside for a short duration.
“ROARRR!” He faced upwards and let out a loud roar. The white tiger felt the threat of dead. He drew forth all his strength to escape. However, his buttocks and tail were lagging behind a little. The instant he managed to free himself; the water, fire, lightning, mountain, and wind zone already moved simultaneously. The mountain suppressed his power. The lightning broke down his form. The fire extinguished his soul. The wind shaved off his spirit.
The white tiger’s long tail actually turned into ashes under the pressure of the five worlds. And his butt that luckily got away in time, bloomed beautifully. It was as if it was crushed by a huge mountain. The white tiger’s rear was nearly turned into meat paste!
“Roar!!! You little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲s̲, it’s either you or I who will live through today!” The white tiger almost went crazy from madness. This was really an extraordinary shame and humiliation.
This was simply unimaginable. The four youths, who were only of Historia realm, dealt heavy damage to him again and again. The white tiger stood in the sky and swept his eyes past the four experts surrounding him. The flame of anger in his cold eyes seemed like it was about to ignite.
Xiao Chen, Dugu Jianmo, Oxman, and the two dragon kings were all apathetic. They looked at him cold-heartedly.
“It-it-it… it hurts!!!” The vulgar Chrysus rode on the donkey. He shouted towards the heaven while holding the pit of his stomach, seemingly in agony.
Oxman was startled, so he asked, “What’s wrong, did you receive a deadly blow?”
“S-s-so… so much money!” Chrysus stared at the white tiger’s butt and said, “T-t-the… white tiger’s butt cannot be touched, y-y-yet… it… it was turned into a pulp by Xiao Shishui. S-s-so… so much money is gone. T-t-the… white tiger’s… b-b-butt’s… has been d-d-d… devalued!”
Oxman had the urge to stick his middle finger into his nostril. Even Xiao Chen and Dugu Jianmo had the urge to swear. This guy was making so much fuss, so it was because of this. He was really too wretched.
The white tiger almost fainted due to anger. His body shook uncontrollably as he let out a furious roar. Then he said with remorse, “This is too much, too much!”
He was really aggravated by Chrysus. The white tiger ignored everyone and charged straight for the vulgar guy.
Out of everyone’s expectation, Chrysus did not retreat. He jumped up from the back of the little donkey and faced the white tiger with the oversized cleaver.
In front of him was the huge head of the white tiger. That mouth was like a blood basin as it opened up. The rows of white teeth were as sharp as double-edged swords. From the look of it, Chrysus was about to be swallowed up.
Chrysus performed another jump while in midair and avoided the white tiger’s crunch. He tried to strike the eyes, however, he didn’t notice that a pair of tiger claws were already approaching him.
It was already too late for the other three to help him. They could only look on helplessly as Chrysus was being ripped apart by the tiger claws. However, that oversized cleaver was unswerving and hit its target. Although it missed the eyes, it did leave a frightening cut on the tiger’s head.
They didn’t hear a miserable shriek coming from Chrysus, though they did hear an extremely vulgar voice, “Chopping Bok Choy!”
Xiao Chen, Dugu Jianmo, and Oxman were all stunned. Even the white tiger, while still enduring the sharp pain, failed to understand what’s going on. However, he was sure of one thing, it was that the wretched assassin was still alive. He fell back in that split second.
“Heh-heh…” The vulgar guy let out a sinister smile. His body that had been ripped apart instantly recovered. The oversized cleaver flew back to his hand. At the same time, the little donkey rushed over and carried him to a safe zone.
Everyone at the scene was confused.
“I-I-I… forgot to mention, m-m-my… my divine power is… i-i-is… immortality!” The vulgar guy smiled lightly.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Immortality was definitely a top class divine power. It was on the same level as Destiny Twins. It could only be described as freakish! Compared to Destiny Twins, it was even more formidable. Experts on the same level couldn’t even more to destroy him. Even for the older generation experts, if they were not a whole lot stronger than him, they couldn’t even hope to seal him, let alone killing him.
“A freak!”
Oxman involuntarily let out a curse.
While the white tiger was extremely furious, he also felt a little discouraged. He broke into the realm of demigod at the age of twenty five to twenty six. And yet he didn’t make any progress for ten years since. Now, he was besieged by four extraordinary young experts. He was very jealous, these four men were even more formidable than him when he was their age. That made him a little fearful.
Could it be that he’s really doing to die at this place?
““Kill the tiger!””
The four young experts surrounded the white tiger and shouted in sync. This caused the white tiger to feel intense anger as he faced upwards and let out a roar.
A blazing radiance pierced the heavens. All the divine marks on the white tiger’s body became visible. They were floating in midair like ancient scriptures. Then the white tiger snarled with malicious intent, “None of you can run away, all of you will die here, White Tiger Cataclysm!”
The tiger roar shook the heaven and earth. It was as if untold numbers of tigers roaring at the same time, as if the flood had breached its dike. The tremendous sound wave caused the space to crack unceasingly. As if it went out of control, the white rays completely submerged the surrounding areas.
The endless tiger roars, when synced, felt as if he was reciting the sutras. It actually contained enough power to shatter the space!
“Launch your strongest divine powers!”
Xiao Chen shouted loudly. The moment he casted the Eightfold Worlds, he instantly escaped from the world of light.
Dugu Jianmo, Oxman, and Chrysus possessed power as incomprehensible as Xiao Chen’s very own. However, their speed still couldn’t match up to Xiao Chen. Just as they reached the edge of the white rays, they were trapped within. However, they also launched their strongest divine power at that very moment. Since they were trapped in the vast expanse of whiteness, one was unable to determine what happened to them.
It lasted until fifteen minutes later. The night sky returned to its original state. The bright moonlight sprinkled down, and the stars filled the whole sky.
The only one remaining was a listless White Tiger. Dugu Jianmo, Chrysus, Oxman, and their mounts all disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His heart felt so empty.
The white tiger let out a complacent laughter, “Hahaha… you little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲s̲ are still too inexperienced. If a demigod really went all out, how could you guys hope to be an even match!”
“G-g-g… Go eat your nanny’s fart!” From far away, a stammeringly, yet anger curse could be heard, “F-f… f-f… f-f-f̲u̲c̲k̲! T-t-t… this is such a huge loss! A t-t-t… two… hundred thousand… g-g-g… gold coins worth of s-s-space-type… scroll!”
Chrysus, Oxman, and Dugu Jianmo were all safe and sound. They flew back from the distance while riding the dragon kings and little donkey.
“Serve you right! Didn’t you say killing him is like killing a cat? This is an error on your part, and you almost dragged us into it.” Oxman rode on the back of the Onyx Dragon King with lingering fears. The white tiger’s destructive move earlier was really too scary. If not because Chrysus used a space-type scroll in the most crucial moment, they might have died in the destructive light.
The vulgar guy was having an extreme heartache as he said in remorse, “T-t-t… The white tiger, when we… p-p-peeled off its skin later, w-w-we must… definitely sell it for a good price! Otherwise, I-I-I… I’m going to die from financial loss!”
The white tiger was already listless at present. He no longer had any battle intent left, so he turned around to flee at once. The illness he bore ten years ago caused great damage to his vital energy, so he didn’t have too much strength to spare. He transformed into a streak of light and instantly distanced himself.
“D-d-d… don’t let him run away!” The vulgar guy started to panic. He urged the little donkey to pursue closely, unwilling to let go of him.
Without waiting for him to say much, Xiao Chen executed the Eightfold Worlds and chased in high speed. He left the other three behind in the dust.
Since it had already come to this, there was nothing to hide anymore. It wouldn’t matter anymore even if his identity was exposed to Chrysus.
Xiao Chen used one of the four major techniques — God Slayer Technique!
The glaring radiance engulfed one side of the sky like the white tiger’s destructive rays earlier. Countless swords appeared in this part of the space. And Xiao Chen was even holding two of them in his left and right hands respectively!
The sharp holy swords and heavenly blades illuminated all ten directions. The swords brushed against each other and gave off a sonorous sound. Looking from afar, that space was very unpleasant to the eyes. Among the endless swords and blades, the huge shadows of a heavenly blade and holy sword emerged. Then their blades crossed like a pair of scissors. One after another lightning about the thickness of a house burst out from the cross section.
Soon after, the sonorous noise became the sole sound in the world!
That region seemed to be in a chaotic mess. The endless rays of light had completely turned that place into a world of light.
The heaven and earth only returned to its normal state after a really long time later. The corpse of the white tiger came into view. It was cut into halves!
“W-w-whew… I-I-I… I thought not even a single h-h-hair… was left. F-f-f… fortunately, the corpse remained!”
Oxman and Dugu Jianmo also rushed over. When four of them got together, even Dugu Jianmo revealed a hint of smile.
The stars glittered in the night sky. The white tiger’s corpse was changing continuously. His upper body changed into the form of a human, and only his lower body remained that of a tiger’s.
“F-f-f… f̲u̲c̲k̲! It-it-it… it’s a demi-tiger.” Chrysus cursed, feeling extremely angry, “I s-s-say… h-h-he’s… so weak, so he is a demi-tiger! However, even h-h-half… of the t-t-tiger skin… should w-w-w… worth a lot of money.”
Oxman knocked Chrysus’ head at once and cursed, “You b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲, are you saying you feel that he should be stronger than this? Yet you tricked us by saying he is not strong, that he is on the same level as a sick cat!”
“It-it-it… it’s a misunderstanding!” The vulgar guy hastily faced him with a smiling face.
All of a sudden, a wave of murderous aura transmitted from the other end of the sky. The powerful pressure in the sky caused the four of them to feel a little nervous!
“What’s going on?” The vulgar guy spoke very smoothly as he looked towards the distant sky.
Xiao Chen and Dugu Jianmo also revealed a grave expression.
Soon after, they heaved a sigh of relief. It was not a powerful expert approaching. Rather, it was a group of people.
Along the path in the distant place, several hundred people mounted all kinds of unknown primal beasts as they approached slowly. They were the clansmen of the West. Their golden long hair draped over the shoulders and rested on their ancient armors.
Among them was a lass who was riding a snow-white unicorn. It was as if an angel had descended to the mundane world. Her elegance couldn’t be described with mere words. Her beauty caused even the splendor of the moon to dim.
“Zhao Lin Er!” Xiao Chen was very astonished indeed. ⌈1⌋
