Chapter 1439 - Chapter 1439 Chapter 706 The Battle of Diancang Mountain_2

Chapter 1439: Chapter 706: The Battle of Diancang Mountain_2 Chapter 1439: Chapter 706: The Battle of Diancang Mountain_2 The Qionghua Star Lord, clutching the Divine Staff, let out a thunderous shout before being blown to ashes.

Thirteen consecutive explosive sounds later, even the gemstones on the Divine Staff were annihilated to dust.

Meanwhile, within the Qionghua Immortal Palace atop Zhongzhou’s Divine Court, the Qionghua Star Lord suddenly had golden divine blood seeping from his eyebrows.

His eyes abruptly opened, and rage, accompanied by spiritual pressure, swept across the great hall, frightening the attendant celestial maidens to their knees.

The Star Lord, with eyes wide open, shattered the armrest of the divine seat with a palm strike, pacing back and forth in front of his seat like an enraged beast.

A Dharma Body is the split of the divine soul; its destruction could harm the original divine soul. In the King Realm, where body and soul are unified, losing the divine soul meant reducing the foundation of the Human King’s path.

As the Qionghua Star Lord angrily paced, a vast amount of pure Spiritual Power evaporated from his body, roughly one-tenth of the total disappearing before he ceased.

Surveying the losses, An Yushu nearly went mad with rage. To condense that Dharma Body, he had expended untold amounts of precious resources and invested one-tenth of his own divine soul. More importantly, the Divine Staff, which signified his control over the void, had been reduced to dust under the blow of the Primordial Sword Command.

Never since his birth had he suffered such a grave loss!

“Xu Clan, Xu Clan! Destroying my Dharma Body, shattering my Divine Staff, breaking decades of my arduous cultivation, this vengeance must not share the same sky!”

Roars of fury emanated from the Immortal Palace, painting the entire edifice blood-red with the Qionghua Star Lord’s rage.

The first to bear the brunt of his wrath were the celestial maidens serving in the hall, who died tragically, trembling as blood flowed from their seven orifices, under the unrestrained anger of the Human King.

When the Divine Guards carried the horrific sight of the celestial maiden’s corpses out of the main hall of the Immortal Palace and threw them into the Poison Dragon Pool, all the servants of Qionghua Immortal Palace understood one thing.

That was, for the foreseeable future, to absolutely avoid nearing Qionghua Star Lord’s side.

…

Shifting our view back to Diancang Mountain, now a place of despair.

The moment he saw the thirteen Chaos Sword Runes, Xiao Jinlin, along with Tang Luo, made a strategic retreat. Through swift spiritual evasion, they finally escaped the scope of the “explosive blast.”

Looking back from the outermost heights of Cang Mountain, one could feel the edge of the sharp gusts that swept past.

Yet this no longer posed any harm to the two men, only leaving the Fire-Stealing Grandmaster feeling rather despondent.

After all, every grandmaster has their pride, especially one as distinguished as Xiao Jinlin.

But having witnessed the Primordial Sword Commands, even the proudest would find it hard to maintain their arrogance.

Each grandmaster would introspect, pondering from another’s perspective, if the Chaos Sword Rune were imprinted on themselves, could they evade fourteen consecutive sword runes?

Of course, the answer was negative. Perhaps the only chance of escape would be never to trigger the sword imprint or to find a Minor Spiritual Realm for refuge immediately after its activation…

Oh no, the Minor Spiritual Realm!

Suddenly remembering the Spirit Realm Gate of Longyuan, Xiao Jinlin hurriedly asked Tang Luo, “The Spirit Realm Gate of Longyuan opens right in the center of Diancang Mountain. Such violent collisions of Spiritual Power, could they shatter the Minor Spiritual Realm?”

“Do not worry, Clan Leader Xiao.”

Tang Luo said with a smile, “When I covered Qionghua Star Lord with the Fuling Star Domain barrier, the Gate of Longyuan was already closed and had initiated void drifting. At this moment, the Minor Spiritual Realm has become as small as a mustard seed and has escaped into the void. Although this clash of Spiritual Power is fierce, it has yet to affect the void.”

“That is a relief.”

Xiao Jinlin exhaled deeply.

“Actually, it’s not all that great…”

Tang Luo said weakly, “Just now, while Clan Leader Xiao and the Wuji Grandmaster were engaging in battle, the Young Palace Master of the Evil King Palace died, and it seems the Evil King Palace is determined to fight to the death with our Longxi Alliance.”

Xiao Jinlin appeared choked up, staring wide-eyed at Tang Luo for quite some time without recovering his composure.

After a long while, the Fire-Stealing Grandmaster sighed helplessly, “Then, I shall make a trip to the Evil King City myself to see if I can tie down the main forces of the Evil King Palace.”

The shared pain of prosperity and loss lay right there. If he were only the leader of the Xiao Clan, the best course of action would be to lead the way for the Evil King Palace. But having practiced the Battle Edge Tactics of the Han Family, the Xiao Clan had boarded the Tang Clan’s ship, and it was no longer possible to leave.

Hence, they could only brace themselves and see this through to the end. Fortunately, the Evil King Palace was an old rival of the Longxi Alliance and lacked a Human King powerhouse, which could be considered a silver lining amidst bad news.

“Hehe… then I’ll trouble Elder Grandmaster Xiao for this!”

Tang Luo continued to make amends, “After the lad rebuilds his arms, I will immediately seek an audience with Senior Xiao, and try to keep the more raucous battles at the borders of Evil King City, as the Lingjiang Seven Cities can’t withstand the strife from the clan conflicts.”

“Mhm.”

Xiao Jinlin quickly drew a talisman with spiritual patterns and handed it to Tang Luo, instructing him, “You can use this talisman to sense my Spiritual Power location.”

Having said that, the Fire-Stealing Grandmaster transformed into a spiritual dragon and soared into the heavens, darting toward the southern part of Longzhou.

“Uh… why leave so quickly? There’s still more to say.”

Tang Luo had wanted to also explain the matter regarding Qionghua Star Lord to Xiao Jinlin, but seeing the other party leaving in such a rush, it seemed there was no chance to discuss it.

However, it didn’t matter much. Masters all have their pride; if a Dharma Body harboring the soul of a Star Lord was destroyed, that person would surely prioritize healing their injuries first.

And after the recovery, the first one he would be looking for would be Xu Clan from Yuanzhou, and with the pride of the Xu Clan, they would naturally disdain any explanation.

Tang Luo had a rough idea about the temperament of those swordsmen by now; it’s easy to kill them, but hard to make them admit their mistakes.

Getting the Xu Clan to admit they made a mistake, that they issued the wrong sword rune or missed their target, would be harder than ascension to the heavens.

The saying that a gentleman can be deceived in a straightforward manner probably refers to this very idea.

The only troublesome thing was that this Qionghua Star Lord, An Yushu, seemed like the vindictive type. If he were to dispatch Dutian Heavenly King to cause trouble for Longxi together with the Evil King Palace, that would be pouring salt on the wound.

Just looking at Diancang Mountain, one could tell that even the mere Fire Department had so many peak Fierce Realm powerhouses, let alone the strongest core division–the Mountain Department.

Although the Longxi Alliance is developing well now, there are not too many forces comparable to the peak of the Fierce Realm… I must complete the Spiritual Qualification of my entire body as soon as possible!

After the great battle at Diancang Mountain, Tang Luo was exceedingly pleased with his Void Energy body’s Spiritual Qualification.

It offers resilience where needed and potential for growth. If he could Spiritually Qualify perfectly, just in terms of physical capability, he would crush ninety-nine percent of the Grandmasters out there.

After all, a physique forged with the Spiritual Power of the Great Thousand World and one forged with Void Energy are not things that exist on the same level.

Although forging the body with Void Energy is extremely painful, it is still less painful than helplessly watching one’s family being destroyed due to insufficient strength.

Between two evils, he chose the lesser. Tang Luo had made up his mind.

He must complete the Spiritual Qualification of his flesh and prove himself as a Grandmaster in the shortest possible time, and spread the secret art of opening the void throughout his body.

In that case, he would have no weaknesses, and he could even absorb others’ Spirit Arts and throw them back during physical attacks. To that extent, he would be somewhat invincible, wouldn’t he?

…

Longzhou Calendar, Year 1790, September

The shocking battle at Diancang Mountain that stunned Xiehe had come to an end, with legends saying that over five hundred Longzhou families participated in the war.

The battlefield was strewn across the entire Diancang Mountain Range, with the small families responsible for the peripheral defenses and Chengzhou’s powerful clans at the center suffering the heaviest losses.

Particularly the Ning Family and the Mo Family, as leading powerful clans, suffered devastating losses.

Patriarch of Ning Family, known as the Chengzhou Fierce Tiger–Ning Bufu, was defeated by Longxi’s Pride, Tang Luo and perished utterly.

Clan leaders were either dead or injured, and the Mo Family didn’t fare much better, with Mo Yuju entering a state of spiritual decline after the battle, significantly weakening his rule.

Moreover, the elite of the Fire Department under the inspection of Dutian Heavenly King had been impressive after the Recruitment Order, but after the battle at Diancang Mountain, they were almost totally scattered.

Several controlling officers died or went missing, and the only two that left Diancang Mountain are yet to be found.

Rumors even spread that the Young Palace Master of Evil King Palace and over a dozen Martial Ancestors perished in the battle of Diancang Mountain, and the ones who killed them were Jiejiang City Chief, Tang Sen, and Longxi’s Pride, Tang Luo.

And there’s a claim from a blind and deaf beggar who insists that he stayed on Diancang Mountain until the end, witnessing Qionghua Star Lord’s arrival, only to be trapped by the Fire-Stealing Grandmaster and Longxi’s Pride in a realm of chaos, eventually being destroyed by the Primordial Sword Command.

But such news, no one is willing to believe, thinking it’s just the bluster of a cripple, with mentions of Qionghua Star Lord and the Primordial Sword Command; such intense confrontations, how did this fellow not die?
