Chapter 1320: Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist Appeared, The Same Celestial Demon Tribe, Chu Kuangren Moved
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall’s Mountain Ghoul House ignored the rules of Heavenly Ancient Merchant Planet and started a fight with the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe.
The scene worried many of the cultivators who deemed the planet as a sanctuary from conflict.
The rules were made by the elites, yet they could also ignore them as they pleased.
The rules served only the strong, and the essence of that phrase was on full display.
“Lin Qiu, you three shall die today, and no one can save you!” the leader of the Mountain Ghoul cultivators shouted.
!!
Then, he revealed a powerful Gilded Immortal Weapon and tossed it up to the air, instantly blanketing the battlefield with countless mystical Daoist patterns.
The Gilded Immortal Weapon was one used to set up boundaries and ensnare its target. It was similar to the Great Heavenly Net used on Chu Kuangren.
With the battlefield sealed off, Lin Qiu and her men could not escape anymore. They glared at the Mountain Ghoul cultivators with sheer determination as if they were prepared to perish.
“Even if it kills me, I’ll drag you down with me!” Lin Qiu shouted.
Powerful Celestial Demon qi erupted from her and crashed upon the Daoist patterns restriction.
She wielded a pitch-black Immortal Sword and slashed toward the Mountain Ghoul cultivators in a flash.
The sword qi containing mystical Daoist patterns crashed on its target like a tidal wave.
That slash she performed had reached the level of Prodigy.
Shocked, the leader of the Mountain Ghoul cultivators immediately retreated but failed to escape unscathed. The sword qi caught and landed multiple cuts on his body.
“Damn it! This woman is much stronger than I thought!”
The Mountain Ghoul cultivator cast his Immortal Technique repeatedly and sent ghoul-like apparitions at Lin Qiu. However, all of them were destroyed before they could even reach her.
The crowd was shocked by the scene.
“No way. The Mountain Ghoul cultivators set the boundary to ensnare their target only for it to become their own cage?”
“If they’re not powerful enough, why come?”
“That’s the Mountain Ghoul House? What a bunch of fools.”
The other cultivators thought the Mountain Ghoul cultivators were powerful for being one of the nine houses of the Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall, and no one expected them to be weaker than Lin Qiu.
“Hmph!”
Suddenly, a frosty grunt sounded in the void, followed by a boundless aura that crushed Lin Qiu’s sword qi effortlessly.
“A bunch of useless garbage,” the voice said.
A figure in black, surrounded by swirling Daoist patterns, emerged from the VIP room. His appearance caused an eerie aura to spread across the field. Agonizing wails and horrifying screams sounded in the void as though ghouls were unleashed following his arrival.
“It’s him! The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist!”
The ones who recognized the man gasped in fear.
The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist was a powerful Prodigy whose reputation in the Interstellar Arena could rival that of Imperial Commanders.
No one could believe that a man of his caliber had come to Ancient Heavenly Merchant Planet!
“Please forgive us for not being able to carry out the task successfully, Divine Daoist.”
The leader of the group came kneeling before the Divine Daoist with an embarrassed look.
“You will receive ten strokes when we head back,” the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist said.
The Mountain Ghoul cultivator’s face turned pale when he heard his punishment.
The stroke that the Divine Daoist mentioned was not just any stroke. It was a kind of punishment invented by the Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall, and a specialized Immortal Weapon would be used to perform the strokes.
Ten strokes would easily cripple him, a True Immortal, even if he survived the punishment.
However, he dared not defy orders, so all he could do was nod.
The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist then turned to Lin Qiu and the others. “It seems like I’ll have to do this myself.”
Without saying anything, Lin Qiu unleashed another slash. Her Celestial Demon qi gushed forward like the rising tide and tried to flood her opponent.
Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist, on the other hand, responded with a punch. His Immortal’s Core energy erupted and unleashed a black tornado that tore the sword qi into shreds and blasted Lin Qiu away.
“He’s strong! The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist is a Prodigy, and I’m not his match,” Lin Qiu said grimly.
“Lin Qiu, let’s attack together!”
The other two Pseudo Celestial Demon cultivators unleashed their Celestial Demon qi as well.
Their Celestial Demon qi was different from one another. One was like a scorching flame, whereas the other one was like rumbling lightning.
“Fire Celestial Demon Physique, Lightning Celestial Demon Physique, and Water Celestial Demon Physique. It seems like the person who created Pseudo Celestial Demons like you three is someone amazing,” the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist said.
The Chaos Celestial Demon Physique was extremely rare, so to mass produce Pseudo Celestial Demo cultivators, it was evident that the person’s capability had reached a terrifying level.
That person might even be one of the strongest in the Immortal World or the whole universe.
However, the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist was not afraid of that mysterious elite.
First of all, the Easter Sovereign Immortal Hall, where he was from, was also a strong force to be reckoned with in the Immortal World. Its influence and reputation were almost unchallenged.
Second, it was the Heavenly Champion’s battle, and if the Pseudo Celestial Demon cultivators joined and died in the process, the person behind them would have no say in the matter either.
“Now!”
Lin Qiu led her men to attack together, and three different elements of Celestial Demon qi erupted, shaking the void.
“Even if the three of you attack together, you’re still not my match,” the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist sneered.
He stood in the air proudly. As he raised his hand, his black Immortal’s Core energy gushed forward in the form of a tornado and tore all the Celestial Demon qi into shreds.
Following that, he took a step forward, and the surging Immortal’s Core energy in the void formed an apparition of a black mountain!
“Mountain Ghoul Art, Black Mountain Suppression!”
The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist resembled a Mountain God that could move lands. As he raised his hand, the mountain behind him released an eerie energy presence that crashed upon Lin Qiu and her men.
Kaboom!
A deafening explosion erupted. Lin Qiu and her men could not withstand the sheer power of the attack and were blasted away with blood spurting out from their mouths. Their Immortal bodies even suffered cracks, and their faces turned pale.
“Such power! I believe only Brother Wushen can win against him!”
“He’s so powerful! We are no match for the Immortal Hall’s Divine Daoist.”
Lin Qiu and her men were feeling hopeless at the outcome.
“Why are you after us, the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe?”
Lin Qiu was prepared to die but not with unanswered questions.
The Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe was a fairly young force in the Immortal World, and they had no conflict with the Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall whatsoever.
Why was the Immortal Hall after them?
“Dead people don’t need answers.”
Instead of giving them a direct reply, the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist raised his hand and mobilized his Immortal’s Core energy to end the three of them.
Lin Qiu took a deep breath and forced herself up from the ground. At the same time, her Celestial Demon qi was mobilized to its limit to strengthen her aura.
She was igniting her life essence!
“Lin Qiu!”
The other two cultivators were shocked by her determination. They exchanged a quick glance and decided to do the same — to risk their lives for one last time.
“Even if the three of you waste all your life essence, you won’t change the outcome.”
The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist continued to channel his Immortal’s Core energy. Again, Daoist patterns gathered in the void and formed the black mountain.
Yet, his aura overpowered the three of them.
Just before both sides clashed for one last time, a sigh echoed in the realm.
“Sigh. Since we’re all Celestial Demon cultivators, I guess I can lend you guys a hand.”
The sigh came from one of the rooms.
As though an ancient Celestial Demon had awoken from its slumber, a terrifying aura swept the field like a typhoon and shook the universe.
