Chapter 1275: Ignorant Brat

“I’m not an Artifact Spirit! I am the previous owner!”
Jiang Yi’s brain seemed to have exploded. No wonder this Artifact Spirit had been so arrogant and had said that Xing Mo was just a small fry. Jiang Yi had thought that it was the Artifact Spirit of the Fire Dragon Sword; he did not expect it to be the previous owner of the sword.
“Something’s not right…”
Jiang Yi became confused again. The Fire Dragon Sword did not have an Artifact Spirit before. After it had swallowed the Mystic Divine Saber, then the Artifact Spirit had appeared. That meant that… this elder came from inside the Mystic Divine Saber, and the owner of the Mystic Divine Saber was the Mystic Thearch, right? He had seen the Mystic Thearch before; he looked entirely different from this elder!
“Who are you?”
Jiang Yi was still confused here; on the other side, the skeletal giant moved his jaw as he spat out a few words. Its cold eyes flashed seriously as it said in a low voice, “This sword is probably a superior-grade divine artifact, right? You are its owner? Could it be you used to be from the Higher Domain?”
“My name is not for the likes of you to know.”
The elder’s phantom image said quietly, “You came down to this world without permission. Although someone here had used the Heaven Nether Formation to summon you, your presence has gone against the rules of heaven and earth. You could potentially destroy this world forever.”
Jek-jek!
The skeletal giant’s mouth uttered a hair-standing sound as the runic patterns on its body started to swim, and streaks of dark-gold light started to shine. Its overbearing aura started to surge as it pressed down on Jiang Yi who was suspended in mid-air. Everyone on the ground also couldn’t stand straight.
It stared at the white-haired elder as it said coldly, “Even if you were previously from the Higher Domain, all that is left of you is your remnant soul; how could you fight me? If you know what’s good for you, scram! The scum of this domain had destroyed one of the Netherworld Realm’s branches and envoy. According to our rules, this domain has to be annihilated! I will give you two choices. You can either leave this domain, or you can die with them!”
“Hmph!”
The elder snorted slightly and did not waste his time talking. The Fire Dragon Sword in his hand lit up; he was evidently prepared to fight.
“Since you continue to be so obstinate, you can go and die!”
The skeletal giant waved its huge skeletal hand and slammed it towards the white-haired elder. When its arm moved, all the runic patterns on its body started to swim as a terrible aura traveled towards its arm. Jiang Yi and company believed that even the highest mountain on the East Imperial Continent could be destroyed by this one strike!
“Lad, watch closely and see how this sword should be used!”
The white-haired elder completely ignored the giant’s skeletal hand as he turned and looked at Jiang Yi. His face was calm as his hand twitched, the Fire Dragon Sword shook, and the three dragons on it started to swim. An aura even more overbearing than before—comparable to the skeletal giant’s—flowed from the Fire Dragon Sword. The elder gently directed his Fire Dragon Sword towards the front and slashed.
Tsk! Tsk!
Three fire dragons wailed out. However, they did not burst forth separately but combined, and they finally became a sword glow that shot towards the skeletal giant.
Cluck-cluck—
A sound like that of arrows hitting a wooden board rang out. That sword glow shot and hit the skeletal giant’s brain; it then penetrated its brain and disappeared. The skeletal giant’s hand also stopped in mid-air; its eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. Its jaw moved as it shouted out in astonishment, “You, you are not… you are not…”
Boom!
The skeletal giant’s entire head exploded. Following that, its huge body also exploded. Its bones started to scatter everywhere while the dark-gold runic patterns on its body also dissipated.
“…”
There was dead silence. Even Jiang Yi could not believe what he had seen. Everyone looked at that translucent phantom image in mid-air, at the sea of skeletal bones. All thought they were dreaming. It was so unreal, so unbelievable!
From Jiang Yi’s capture to the destruction of the skeletal giant—only ten to twenty seconds had passed.
Many people were not even entirely sure what had happened. Some only knew that Jiang Yi had been caught, the skeletal giant had suddenly loosened its grip, Jiang Yi then flew up into the high heavens, and then a translucent elder had appeared. Following that, the elder had casually wielded Jiang Yi’s sword; and a sword glow had appeared. Then, the skeletal giant had been destroyed.
This victory had come too quickly; many could not come to terms with it yet. Such a huge difference in a matter of seconds was something many people could not react to yet.
“Scram back into the Underground World!”
The white-haired elder’s gaze swept on the zombie soldiers and zombie beasts below as he spoke. Those zombie soldiers and zombie beasts—who were not intelligent—actually all started to rush back underground frantically, fleeing as fast as they could. It was as if this elder was a god.
A few hundred million zombie soldiers and zombie beasts, even before many humans had been able to react, had all disappeared. They had returned to the Underground World from the cracks in the earth and the pits that had appeared. The raging battle suddenly quieted. This scene also seemed to freeze as more than ten million eyes looked upwards at the Fire Dragon Sword and that white-haired elder, not daring to breath.
The white-haired elder’s face was very normal; his aura was also extremely weak. He ignored all the human martial artists below as his gaze turned to Jiang Yi, and he opened his mouth, “Lad, come up here!”
“Me?”
Jiang Yi was shaken awake as he hurriedly flew upwards. The elder threw the Fire Dragon Sword back to Jiang Yi and waved his hand. Suddenly, a light shield appeared around the two. The elder then said, “I had intended to give up on you this time and bring this sword away from this domain to search for its next master somewhere else. However, I changed my mind at the last moment. Do you know why?”
After the light shield had been formed, no one from the outside could hear the duo’s conversation; the elder probably didn’t want anyone eavesdropping. Jiang Yi’s face was very straight as he respectfully took back the Fire Dragon Sword, bowed and said, “Please enlighten me!”
“Your gifts are not that good while your temperament is not that mature yet. Among the billions of domains, you are at most considered average. If it wasn’t for me imparting you the Nameless Divine Art, you probably would never be able to become a god and shatter the void to fly to the Higher Domain.”
The elder continued. Although his tone was calm, his words had shocked Jiang Yi.
The Nameless Divine Art had actually been imparted by this elder? The seal that had trapped him from young had been placed by this person as well? The Fire Spirit Pearl, the Fire Dragon Sword, the Mystic Divine Saber; everything had been arranged by him?
The elder looked at Jiang Yi lightly as he nodded and said, “You guessed right. When you were still a baby, I had already chosen you. You are the most gifted in this domain while your body contained the bloodline of the divine race. Your mother came from the Higher Domain and from a considerably strong divine race at that. I had been in hiding in this domain for a million years. Besides you, there had only been the Mystic Thearch who had been worthy of my attention. Unfortunately, he had a fatal flaw; hence, I did not choose him!”
“Uh—”
Jiang Yi cried out in shock. He did not know what to say as he respectfully continued to listen to the elder.
The elder paused, sighed slightly, and said, “I had intended to give up on you this time. However, at the last minute—you actually dared to curse the Netherworld Thearch. Hahaha. You even said that this sword was formed from the Netherworld Thearch’s spine? Ignorant brat, you do not know the complexities of things; do you know who the Netherworld Thearch is? That scene just now had definitely been sent by that skeletal giant back to the Netherworld Realm.
“Thus, within a month, the Netherworld Realm’s armies would definitely reach this place. Even if you went to the Higher Domain, you would also be hunted relentlessly by the Netherworld Realm armies! Hence… you are destined for a tough life. You can either become the strongest of ten thousand domains and suppress the Netherworld Thearch or be killed and reduced to nothingness; there is no other way for you!”
