Chapter 1437: Much Face Given
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Primordial-Grade Chaos Beasts were very intelligent; what more a ten-million-year-old one? It had used its most powerful mystical ability and with one fell sweep had paralyzed Mo Shangxing and company, aiming straight for Jiang Yi. It knew that as long as it could kill Jiang Yi, it could continue absorbing the surrounding Netherworld Aura and kill the majority of people here now in the Black Snow Mountainous Region.
“Evil creature, your enemy is me!”
Mo Shangxing woke up the fastest. Seeing that the Chaos Beast was just about to swallow Jiang Yi and the others whole, he instantly panicked. While he did not know if the Heaven Emanations would die—if Jiang Yi was really swallowed by this Chaos Beast, he would definitely be killed.
Hence, Mo Shangxing howled furiously as he transformed himself into a sword and aimed directly at its tender spot. This Chaos Beast’s Chaos Pearl was located at its tender spot. Since this Chaos Beast was intending to come so close to attack Jiang Yi and company, Mo Shangxing had a shot at killing this Chaos Beast.
This thinking was ideal, but reality was cruel!
This Chaos Beast had fought this battle for a while and was very clear that if Jiang Yi did not die, it would definitely perish today. Hence, it did not bother with Mo Shangxing at all; it continued to snap towards Jiang Yi and company. The black aura from its mouth had already enveloped Jiang Yi and the others, its lethal fangs gleaming with a cold glow. If one did not have at least superior-grade divine artifact battle armor, they would probably be crushed to bits by this attack.
“Hmph!”
At this moment, the wind and clouds in the spatial zone started to dance as a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in mid-air. The eyes were just like two stars, shining brightly and driving the darkness away. As the eyes appeared, everyone immediately woke up from their state of paralysis. Mo Shangxing paused in mid-air as he shouted elatedly, “Sovereign!”
The Earth Emanations Sovereign had come! Although only a wisp of his divine soul was present, Mo Shangxing felt that that was more than sufficient: the Earth Emanations Sovereign was one of the most powerful men in the Earth Domain, a King-Ranked formidable martial artist!
Swish!
As expected, two beams of white light shot from that pair of eyes. The white lights were like divine light descending from the Nine Heavens and, within a second, struck the Chaos Beast’s brain. With a huge blast, that Chaos Beast’s huge and flat head exploded into bits, spraying Jiang Yi and company with black blood and chunks of flesh. Accompanying the beams of white lights was an incredibly strong aura. Besides Mo Shangxing, everyone else was pressed onto the ground; no one could move!
This is the battle strength of a King-Ranked formidable martial artist? No, wait, this is only a wisp of his divine soul!
Jiang Yi’s entire body was now covered with black blood and bits and pieces of flesh. However, he ignored them as he stared at that pair of eyes and the blasted head of the Chaos Beast, utterly stunned. While Titled Heaven Emanations were but one step away from being a King-Ranked martial artist, the disparity in power was stark!
Tsk! Tsk!
Although the Chaos Beast’s brain had been destroyed, the black aura was still emitting from its entire body. Following that, a phantom image floated out from the body and straight into the Black Snow Sea. Mo Shangxing smiled mockingly as he said, “With the Sovereign here, this remnant soul still wants to escape back to the Netherworld Realm? Fat hope!”
Buzz!
The wind and clouds in the sky danced again as the pair of eyes became a huge palm. It sped downwards at a terrifying speed that everyone could not even see it moving.
A thunderous explosion sounded as a five-million-kilometers radius rocked and trembled. In the far distance, one of the mountain peaks in the Heaven Camel Mountain actually toppled, sending dust flying everywhere. Jiang Yi and the others were also sent tumbling about the ground, their eardrums ringing and their soul spirits shaken. They all became dizzy and confused, unable to find their bearings.
Following that, the black aura in the vicinity gradually began to fade. After that strike from the Earth Emanations Sovereign, there was no other sound besides that of Mo Shangxing and a few Titled Battle Gods and Titled Heaven Emanations exterminating the remaining Chaos Beasts in the surroundings. Jiang Yi shook his head as he glanced around; he was stunned!
A huge crater had appeared in the distance. It was just like a bottomless abyss. At this moment, Jiang Yi suddenly suspected: could the Fire Abyss he encountered before had also been created by an absolute formidable martial artist’s palm strike?
“The Sovereign is unbeatable; all hail the Sovereign!”
Many Heaven Emanations had also woken up and were shouting their adulation and praise. Jiang Yi also had the same respect and praise for the absolute formidable martial artists of the human race. It was because of them that the human race could be preserved. If not, the Netherworld Realm would have long enslaved the ten thousand domains.
The Earth Emanations Sovereign did not have any reaction; he probably had already recalled his divine soul. Perhaps in his eyes, this was but a small matter and not worth any mention. However, to the masses present, this only made the Earth Emanations Sovereign seem even more mysterious and greater.
“Kill!”
With the Netherworld Demon Formation being destroyed by the Earth Emanations Sovereign and the Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast killed—although there were still countless Chaos Beasts about, they were no longer a significant threat to everyone. Almost all the formidable martial artists in the Blue Eagle Prefecture had gathered this time after all.
Buzz! Buzz!
Spatial divine item after item shone as everyone was teleported out from them to join in the hunt of the Chaos Beasts. Most Chaos Beasts here had already been demonized. They were now mortal enemies with the humans, and the latter was determined to annihilate them.
Swish!
Mo Shangxing killed an Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast with one strike and floated over. He teleported Xiao Leng and company out, pointed at the Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast’s corpse, and said, “Jiang Yi, that Chaos Beast belongs to you. You can exchange many battle merits for it!”
“This…”
Jiang Yi perspired as he shook his head and said, “My Lord, how can I dare to accept this? It was the Sovereign who killed it after all. Furthermore, everyone had done their part…”
“Keke!”
Mo Shangxing evidently wanted to shower favor onto Jiang Yi. He looked at Qiu Yi and company and said, “The Sovereign definitely would not want this corpse. Furthermore, if it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to hold out for so long. If you do not want this corpse, who else would claim it?”
“Yes!”
Qiu Yi, Xiao Shan, and the others all nodded fervently. Although this Chaos Beast’s corpse was extremely valuable, Mo Shangxing had—after all—fought the hardest. If even he did not want a share, how could the rest ask for anything?
This mission had been their opportunity to befriend Jiang Yi. They had even seen the Earth Emanations Sovereign personally intervening to help Jiang Yi. He had also acted right when Jiang Yi was on the brink of death; everyone understood the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s intentions perfectly. He wanted to do a special favor for Jiang Yi.
“Alright then!”
If Jiang Yi continued to reject, that might sour things. Jiang Yi could only keep this huge beast’s corpse inside his interspatial ring; almost the entire space within his spacious interspatial ring was filled with that one corpse. Mo Shangxing then nodded and said, “Jiang Yi, shall we go back first? With so many soldiers cleansing this area, this secret branch of the Netherworld Realm will be utterly exterminated sooner or later.”
Mo Shangxing did not expressly say that he was sent by the Mo Clan to protect Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi also did not probe further; they both knew, deep down, that was the case. Jiang Yi took a few looks and said, “Lord Mo, shall we head to the Divine Boat and wait? Since the cleaning-up operation is proceeding swiftly, shall we wait till the battle is over before we leave?”
“That’s true!”
Mo Shangxing took out a Divine Boat and brought in Jiang Yi as Xiao Leng followed. The others, however, did not have the right to enter. On the other side, Xiao Shan took out a Divine Boat and teleported Xiao Hong out. After confirming that he was only severely wounded, unconscious, and was not in danger of dying; Xiao Shan finally breathed easier.
Buzz!
In the Divine Boat, Mo Shangxing also teleported the Poison Spirit out. The Poison Spirit was still unconscious as Mo Shangxing’s hand lit up with white light and touched the Poison Spirit’s head. The Poison Spirit finally started to wake up as he looked about him. Seeing Jiang Yi, the Poison Spirit was astonished and said, “Eh? Young Lord? Why have you come?”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi was just about to say something when Mo Shangxing laughed coldly and said, “Poison Spirit, Jiang Yi has given you so much face. He had gathered almost all the formidable martial artists in the Blue Eagle Prefecture to come and rescue you. We almost lost everyone this time also.”
“Ah?”
The Poison Spirit was startled as he used his divine senses and saw that there were formidable martial artists all around outside. He had still been curious as to what was happening outside. These people had been deployed by Jiang Yi to come and save him?
“Alright, Poison Spirit. Don’t ask so many questions. Take the time to recuperate first. We can talk more back in the Divine Eagle City!”
Jiang Yi motioned to the Poison Spirit. He then thought of something and said, “Right, the Sovereign has absolved you of all your crimes. The Qin Clan will not find trouble with you anymore. However, you cannot find fault with them anymore as well. From now on, the past will remain in the past, and there will no longer be any hostility.”
“The Sovereign?”
The Poison Spirit was once again shaken. Only how long had it been? What had happened with Jiang Yi? Not only could he deploy the formidable martial artists of the Blue Eagle Prefecture, but he had even formed a relationship with the Earth Emanations Sovereign?
