Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Great day? Hahaha!” ‘Heaven Sweeping King’ Zhao Changlie burst into laughter. “You people who are as greedy as dogs and as stupid as swine do not know that death is knocking your door! You may be having your day today, but when my brother Qi Changsheng and the other nine experts return from the deities’ realm, each and every one of you will be slain. None of you are going to get away!”

Elder Scorching Sun had already foreseen his ‘obstinateness’ and therefore was not infuriated at all. He simply smiled and casually said, “You are still daydreaming. Do you really think that anybody is going to return from the deities’ realm?

“Let me tell you the truth and offer a word of insight to all fellow Cultivators here. I am not some ignorant fool who can be tricked easily. Having been training in the primeval relic for more than a hundred years, I do know a lot of ancient anecdotes.

“Deities’ realm? There is no such thing. It is a boundless black ocean that surrounds the Ancient Sages Sector. The thickness of the black ocean is beyond any imagination! Even the unparalleled experts in the Nascent Soul Stage, the Divinity Transformation Stage, or even higher levels would not be able to fly out of it after a ten-thousand-year journey!

“From the ancient times to this day, almost all the experts who flew out of the Ancient Sages Sector to search for the deities’ realm were killed in the black ocean outside miserably. Those who were lucky enough to run back lost all their Cultivation and most of their life, too!

“Hehehe. By my estimation, the so-called ‘search for the deities’ realm’ and ‘Divine Wrath Order’ was a scheme that you people came up with. The old top ten experts died with each other in the depths of the Land of Eternal Night. Even the forces behind them suffered great losses. You were unable to resist the challenges of the heroes of the world. That’s why you thought of the trick to buy yourselves more time.

“Even if they were not dead but truly went out to ‘search for the deities’ realm’ on an enormous flying boat, they would either be killed halfway or return devastated.

“Right now, I have the legacies from the ‘Saint Fire Dynasty’, a million soldiers and experts, and the support of countless fellow Cultivators in the three thousand Sectors in the world. Even if they do come back, how do they expect to compete with me? They will have to kneel before me!

“Zhao Changlie, a wise man knows when to submit to fate. Stop daydreaming and just obey me. Surrender the wealth and weapons that the Heaven Battering Army has looted for years!”

“Damn you!” Zhao Changlie cursed. “You can jump up and down however you want today, but your happy life won’t last. Very soon, my brother and the nine experts will return from the deities’ realm. By then, you will die a death ten times more miserable than how I am killed today!”

“Good, good, good!” The fiery fiend narrowed its eyes, and the three big faces were all brimming with graveness as it gnashed its teeth. “The Rising Sun Array has only recently been built and is in need of the blood of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator for sacrifice. Since you are too pigheaded to change, why don’t I grant your wish? Let me see how the Three Saints, the Four Rapscallions, Master Spiritual Vulture, or the others can make me die ten times more miserably than you do after you are split apart and burnt to ash and your soul is sealed in the magma to be boiled in all eternality!”

Huala!

The five flying boats moved in different directions, and the five chains were immediately straightened. Cracking sounds were immediately echoing from Zhao Changlie’s flesh and bones. He was roaring nonstop in excruciating pain.

Elder Scorching Sun meant to establish his authority with Zhao Changlie and therefore was not in a hurry to kill the man. He ordered the flying boasts to move as slowly as possible so that he would have more time to torture the obstinate prisoner.

Right then, dozens of roars echoed like spring thunder at the same time from the crowd in the valley.

“Die now, old monster!”

“Justice is going to be served today, old monster!”

“Old fart, today is the day of your death!”

“Grand Mystery Sect, Purple Pole Sword Sect, Wind Thunder Valley… The six major sects swear to kill the monster!”

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

Hundreds of streaks of auras of sword rose up to the altar of the Red Sun Sect at the end of the valley.

“Assassins!”

“The experts from the six major sects are bold enough to assassinate Elder Scorching Sun!”

The whole valley was thrown into chaos in that moment. All the Cultivators drew their blades, activated their magical equipment, and triggered their spiritual shields. But since the place was already jampacked, it was inevitable that everybody’s weapons and magical equipment crashed into each other. Their spiritual shields even disrupted each other, unleashing tremendous brightness and waves that turned into a mess.

The fiery fiend in the sky was merely an image that Elder Scorching Sun projected through the ‘Rising Sun Array’, not his real body.

The assassins from the six major sects naturally would not attack the image. They had long aimed at the real Elder Scorching Sun, who was boosting the array on the altar.

‘Green Willow’ Fang Chengzhi was dwelling in the unparalleled dominance of Elder Scorching Sun and thought that he was about to appreciate the thrilling view where the legendary ‘Heaven Sweeping King’ Zhao Changlie was split apart. It had never occurred to him that he would run into a public assassination that was even more thrilling.

Soaked in hot sweat, he stood on his toes and craned his neck, trying his best to look at the front of the crowd.

It was a shame that the Green Cloud Sword Sect was really too far behind. As far as his eyes could reach, there was nothing but dense heads and the halos of spiritual energy caused by the surging spiritual shields. Colorful mist had been raised above everyone’s head, making it impossible to see what was going on at the front.

He was of a mind to fly into the air to watch, only to be grabbed by his father and pressed to the ground before he even jumped out.

Before the young Fang realized what was happening, hundreds of flames already soared and blew down the Cultivators who had ascended just now into the crowd as fast as lightning. All the victims crashed hard and grimaced in humiliation.

In the middle of the roaring fire, the Cultivators of the Red Sun Sect, with red clouds below their feet and fiery sabers in their hands, showed up. Their nonchalant eyes and faces and their brutal attacks just now stopped everyone from moving recklessly.

Fang Chengzhi could not have felt more fortunate.

It was not a big deal to suffer some minor wounds, but if he had been smacked in public like the few unlucky fellows did just now, he would have been too ashamed to meet any of his friends in the future.

He was greatly amazed. On one hand, he was shocked by the magnificence of the Red Sun Sect, whose common disciples boasted such devastating strength. On the other hand, he was impatient to find out if the assassins were engaged in a fierce battle with Elder Scorching Sun.

He stood up higher and higher and craned his neck more and more, only to see nothing at all. He could only feel giant waves of fire flooding above his head, turning all the Cultivators into small fish living in an ocean of fire.

Thankfully, the riot caused by the assassins died down as quickly as it took place. Before Fang Chengzhi’s neck was tired, the chaos in the field had already been pacified. Above the altar in front of the hundred thousand Cultivators, almost a hundred translucent fireballs rose up slowly, each caging an assassin.

All the assassins were burnt by fire and penetrated by electric arcs, suffering excruciating pain.

Dumbfounded, Fang Chengzhi was lost for words for a long time. He did not expect that Elder Scorching Sun’s Cultivation would be so high that he could not only capture hundreds of assassins alive in the blink of an eye but also cage them in the weird barriers for public humiliation.

It was definitely dozens of times more difficult than killing the hundreds of assassins directly.

The spectators whispered to each other. Soon, someone recognized the identity of the assassins.

“Grand Mystery Sect, Purple Pole Sword Sect, Wind Thunder Valley, Gold Armor Sect, Monster Taming Pavilion, Flying Spirit Island… They are all the disciples of the six major sects!”

“They are also the most distinguished experts in the younger generation. It seems that they have been suffocated for too long under the restriction of the ‘Divine Wrath Order’!”

“It’s a shame that their opponent this time was Elder Scorching Sun. They did not know what they were doing at all!”

“Have any fellow Cultivators here seen how exactly Elder Scorching Sun attacked? It happened so fast just now that I did not capture anything before the young people were captured alive!”

“Although they all belong to the younger generation, many of them are experts at the peak of the Core Formation Stage. Yet, they could not even survive three rounds under Elder’s attack. Elder’s Cultivation is truly immeasurable!”

Fang Chengzhi was awed, too. At this moment, he finally saw what the assassins looked like. He had even met some of the young experts from the six major sects before, who had been idols for the offspring of the offshoots of the main sect. It had never occurred to him that they would be so humiliated one day.

Right then, Fang Chengzhi suddenly heard a ‘beep’ not far away from his head.

The sound was quite weird. Fang Chengzhi had never heard any blade or magical equipment that could make a similar sound.

The next second, ripples spread out in the air, and an item the size of a pearl popped up out of nowhere.

There was no telling whether it had shown up because of the interference of the fiery spiritual energy or because the time had come and there was no need to hide anymore.

Fang Chengzhi was greatly fascinated. He unleashed a stream of spiritual energy in secret and snatched the ball.

It was a piece of magical equipment that looked like an eyeball.

But it was much more delicate than anything Fang Chengzhi had seen.

Beep, beep! Beep, beep, beep, beep! historical

A sound echoed from deep inside the metal eye. The ‘pupil’ of dozens of rings enlarged and shrank, as if the focus were moved from far away to his face.

Fang Chengzhi trembled in his heart and somehow felt that the magical equipment was weird.

However, this place was Elder Scorching Sun’s territory, and such a fiery fiend was covering them from the sky. There did not seem to be anything that he should fear.

Fang Chengzhi swallowed and examined the weird magical equipment for a long time, only to discover two lines of extremely tiny words carved on the back of the ‘eye’.

The two lines were not only a hundred times smaller than millet and had a lot of missing strokes. They were written in a weird style, too. Fang Chengzhi read and guessed for a long time before he finally figured out what they meant.

“Phoenix 19 Super Remote Multipurpose Stealth Crystal Camera.

“Produced by the Glorious Sunlight Group for the garrison of the Ancient Sages Special District of the Star Glory Federation.”

Beep, beep!

While Fang Chengzhi and the crystal camera looked at each other, more identical crystal cameras revealed themselves and floated above everyone’s head blatantly.

It was almost as if they had been floating there for a long time, observing the magnificent, unparalleled Elder Scorching Sun on the altar.
