Chapter 816: Void Shatter
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mei Xue Yan, who was cultivating inside the Hongjun Pagoda, suddenly heard some sounds. Opening her eyes, she saw numerous strange little knives dropping out from empty air… The sky was thick with blades like a rain of hailstones. In just a short while, a large pile of blades had formed on the ground. Even then, the blades hadn’t stopped falling…
Carefully making her way over, Mei Xue Yan was completely stunned as a thought formed in her mind. This can’t be the the legendary Nine Nether Frost Blade! If it’s the Nine Nether Frost Blade, where is Mo Xie right now?
The Nine Nether Frost Blades were the famed weapon of Nine Nether Young Masters! Apparently, each Nine Nether Young Masters that appeared in the Xuan Xuan continent all had an inexhaustible supply of Nine Nether Frost Blades!
In the Xuan Xuan Continent, such weapons were practically invincible, divine-grade weapons! Furthermore, the blades had never been allowed to be lost! Even if they were destroyed, they were retrieved very carefully…
Although Mei Xue Yan had never truly seen one before, she had heard about these blades before! Seeing such a huge pile of these strange blades before her now, she naturally recognized them in an instant…
“Could it be that Mo Xie went into Tian Fa’s forbidden ground?” Mei Xue Yan could not help but grow worried…
Jun Mo Xie collected all the blades along the way as he travelled. After some time, he realized that he had already collected several thousand such blades! And there were still an uncountable number of them in front of him. Behind him, more were still flying over…
The deeper he went, the wider the path became. Deep marks could be seen on the walls, most likely a result of the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master venting his frustration!
From this, one could tell that the quality of this wall had reached an almost indestructible level! Jun Mo Xie took out Blood of Yellow Flame and slashed at the wall with all his might. However, he had only managed to leave a faint scratch!
“Just what kind of material is this? How come it’s so hard! No wonder even this freak can’t get out!” Jun Mo Xie finally understood.
Further down the path, there was a faint glow of strange light.
Jun Mo Xie walked over slowly. Looking up, he discovered that he was in an extremely odd cavern. The roof of the cavern was covered with a layer of multi-colored material that emanated an immeasurable amount of dignified aura! It was seemingly indestructible and… full of a mysterious strength!
Jun Mo Xie looked at it, finding it oddly familiar. After a closer examination, his mouth opened slightly with shock. This, is a formation ah! And it’s a formation derived from the Nine Nether First Young Master’s intriguing variant formation! Although the effects are not as amazing as the one personally set up by the Nine Nether First Young Master, the strength of this are still obvious!
To think that the Misty Illusory Manor would actually use the Nine Nether First Young Master’s methods to deal with the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master… Wasn’t this the most amusing thing in the world? One truly wondered if this could be counted as the Nine Nether Young Masters lifting a stone to smash their own feet?
The cavern was filled with Nine Nether Frost Blades, and piles and piles of them scattered carelessly… Taking a casual look around, there should at least be several hundred thousands of them! They should be the result of the many years of accumulation… From the looks of it, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master did not really care much for these things…
Jun Mo Xie’s eyes lit up and with a few quick movements, he soundlessly tucked away more than half of all the blades! Since the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master couldn’t use so many swords, he might as well gift them to me! I can make the greatest use out of them…
But Jun Mo Xie was still moving cautiously, only taking some from each pile. As for those hidden in the darkness, he took more from them…
He had only just finished tucking away the blades when the Nine Nethers Frigid Wind suddenly grew heavier. A black shadow flew out with a sou sound, cursing and complaining. “How strange! There’s clearly nothing here, but it’s acting strange for no reason, causing this Young Master to make a wasted trip!”
This fellow who called himself a “young master” completely did not look anything like a young master!
This man’s long hair was sloppy and splayed wildly on his head; his face was stained black, and it was almost impossible to make out his features. Only his eyes shone brightly like a pair of lamps. His clothes were tattered and torn, and he looked exceedingly wretched. Based on his current appearance, even the most downtrodden beggar would feel somewhat consoled if he could see this person right now: so there’s some one more wretched than me…
As he walked out of the cavern, he lifted his head and glared ruthlessly at the multi-colored light above him. “I’ll like to see just how long this broken thing can keep this Young Master here!”
As he spat the words out, he instantly flew into the air!
This fellow completely did not discover Jun Mo Xie’s presence! From this point, Jun Mo Xie felt much safer. It looked like his Yin Yang Escape Art was truly heaven-defying ah…
However, Jun Mo Xie did not dare to let him continue bashing the barrier madly… Not to mention other things, with him standing so near, he could not guarantee that he wouldn’t be knocked out. If he simply fainted, it would already be considered light. But just that roar alone would likely burst his eardrums…
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was about to start charging when he suddenly heard a light voice beside him. “Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master? What are you smashing around for? You’ve already smashed around for several hundred years; aren’t you tired of it?”
“Who? Who’s there, come out! Come out here for this Young Master!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master instantly felt the hairs on his skin stand on their ends!
He even felt as if his heart had suddenly stopped moving! The two icy-looking eyes on his head nearly fell out of their eye sockets!
Over three hundred years; it had been over 375 years! He had been trapped in here for so long; not to mention humans, he hadn’t even spotted a single ant or earthworm! Solitude had become his habit, and loneliness a pastime. The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had already lost all hope long ago. He knew that there was no possibility of a second person appearing in here!
But right then, a voice sounded out right beside him!
Although the voice wasn’t loud, to the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, it was akin to a thunderclap exploding in his ear!
With a sou sound, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s figure turned into a series of afterimages. From near to far, and from far to near. In a short time, the entire cavern was filled with the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s afterimage. Thereafter, each of them morphed into a physical form!
It was as if millions of Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Masters lined up in this cavern…
In an instant, Jun Mo Xie’s body was covered in cold sweat!
This level of skill was simply too amazing!
Of all the experts that Jun Mo Xie had seen before, none of them could match this Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master in speed! Even Mei Xue Yan and himself could not reach such a level! In Jun Mo Xie’s eyes, such shocking speed seemed to have reached the speed of light! It was simply too fast!
“Come out! Who is it that dares to act like a ghost and toy with this Young Master?” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master shouted as he watched every corner carefully:.”If you’re not coming out, this Young Master will not be polite and drag you out!”
You can’t even find me and you want to drag me out? What big words! Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes lazily and pinched his nose as he spoke aloud in a mysterious voice. “Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, your face indeed does not turn red when lying ah. Impressive, impressive! But I’ll truly like to see how you’ll drag me out! Those words of yours; do you even believe them yourself?”
“Lock!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was so angry that his messy hair flew into the air! He waved his arms and a black light shone in his eyes. At the same time, an unknown aura burst out from his body!
The instant the word left his mouth, Jun Mo Xie suddenly felt the entire cavern freeze, as if the entire space had turned into a large block of ice!
Spatial lock!
The Nine Nether First Young Master actually knew such a shocking technique!
This was definitely not something that Mei Xue Yan’s World Cage could compare with! World Cage was simply an ability that made use of the Power of Heaven and Earth to lock down a small area. But with a wave of his hand, Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had directly locked down the Power of Heaven and Earth, turning this entire space into a dead zone!
However, although this ability was overbearing and strange, it wasn’t able to able to affect Young Master Jun, who was still in the miraculous state of the Yin Yang Escape Art! Jun Mo Xie could clearly sense the frozen state of the space around him! But as long as he did not move, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master would not be able to discover him!
Even so, Jun Mo Xie was still locked within this space! This was the first time he’d met a person who could restrict his Yin Yang Escape to such an extent!
Although he hadn’t truly detected anything…
“Still not coming out? If you still don’t come out, this Young Master’s next move will be ‘shatter’!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master warned angrily. “If you reveal yourself to this Young Master right now, we can still talk nicely! Otherwise… a person at your level should know what is called Void Shatter?”
He paused for a moment, as if he were allowing the hidden man time to consider. After some time, he continued. “Since this Young Master can freeze space, shattering it will not be anything difficult for me! You—are you really not coming out? Then… do not regret it! Once this space shatters, it will be broken into countless fragments. If you still don’t show yourself, this Young Master will shatter this space immediately, and your body and soul will be scattered!”
The hidden person still did not say anything.
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master waited patiently. A faint smile appeared on his face as if everything was under his control. He was sure that this mysterious person would definitely feel threatened! Because from the beginning of time, no one had ever managed to survive space being shattered!
The man hidden in the darkness may be very powerful, but he was still a human! As long as it was a human, there was no escaping this technique!
But even he would not use this technique casually! The energy cost of using Void Shatter was exceedingly great! With just a bit more effort, he would be able to break the seal. He didn’t want to waste all his energy here for nothing. If he used that technique without caring about the consequences, the date of his escape would be greatly delayed…
A long while later…
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master did not move, and the man in the dark did not move as well…
Some more time passed, and the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master grew curious. Could it be that that person had just left even under these circumstances?? Surely not! Unable to hold himself back, he cleared his throat and tentatively asked, “Er… are you still there?”
Immediately, a proud voice rang out. “I’m here… I’ve been here the whole time! Aren’t you going to shatter the space? I’m waiting for you to shatter it… why aren’t you shattering it? Could it be that you need such a long time to prepare your ‘shatter’?”
