Chapter 1749: Eight Ninth-Step Saint Kings

The world turned dead silent.

The Kunlun’s Field practitioners in the Palace had already seen something amiss with Wan Zhaoyi before the final fight, but Nine Heavenly Maiden had blocked them.

When they finally saw that Wan Zhaoyi’s presence had finally died down, their hearts sank, and they felt sorrow so heartrending they wanted to cry.

In merely half an hour, he set fire to his life, shining brighter than anything, before returning to the void.

Wan Zhaoyi, who represented his entire generation, had become history.

Dong Wutian, Xi Wufa, Nan Xinshu, Bei Yutian… There were more heroes now.

Countless heroes were buried within the flow of time, and Wan Zhaoyi became yet another one.

There were many from before, and there would be many more in the future.

Shhh…!

Wan Zhaoyi’s essence, qi, and spirit had all been exhausted. As the chilling wind blew, his body turned into sand, and spilled from the Blue Dragon Armor. His two legs, his body, and his head had all disappeared, as though he had never been in this world.

Xun Ya heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly stood up. He put a healing pill into his mouth.

As his wounds stabilized, he looked towards the Tianming Summoning Rune and Blue Dragon Armor.

That Kunlun’s Field practitioner had almost killed him due to this equipment, not because of a difference in cultivation.

Xun Ya was just about to take them when Kunlun’s Field practitioners started to scold him.

“Those belonged to Wan Zhaoyi. You Heaven Field scum don’t deserve them!”

“Little Saint God has died, and didn’t even leave behind his body. We must bring his remnants back to Kunlun’s Field!”

Dong Wutian, Qing Xiao, and Fei Yutian all dashed out from the palace, wanting to snatch back the Tianming Summoning Rune and the Blue Dragon Armor.

They were in the same generation as Wan Zhaoyi, and had fought together, had competed with each other, and had matched up with each other on the Earth Board and Heaven Board. They had truly respected him.

Yet, they were stopped by the Heaven Field Saint Kings, unable to even get close to Xun Ya.

Xun Ya snickered, “With your puny cultivation, you dare to jump before me? Or do you also have secret arts that make you able to make a last-ditch attempt?”

“What last-ditch? Who was the one who got beaten down like a dog?” Qing Xiao taunted.

Xun Ya’s face blackened and showed murderous intent. “What ignorance. I will torture you even after death.”

Although he was severely injured, Xun Ya’s Saint Qi quickly activated, and a strong Saint Might emerged from within him. With just that, he was able to make Chen Wutian, Qing Xiao, and Fei Yutian almost lose their footing.

Chen Wutian showed a look of desperation and said, “This man is the leader of Divine Blood War Palace, and we might not be a match for him even if we had the same cultivation level. Now, with his cultivation way higher than us, it would be even harder for us to match him. I need to use the final move in the Four Nine Techniques, Beyond the Five Elements, to be able to tank his attacks.”

Fei Yutian replied, “You can indeed use Beyond the Five Elements to evoke massive powers, but that would mean death. Why don’t you lend me your Saint Qi such that I could use the stone blade to quickly kill him?”

Fei Yutian’s stone blade was a heavenly treasure created naturally within the northern regions of Kunlun’s Field. The inscriptions on the stone blade followed the mountains and rivers of the northern regions.

Someone had once made a prediction that, should Fei Yutian reach Supreme Saint, he could command Kunlun’s Field’s northern region’s heavenly powers.

Of course, with his current cultivation, doing something like that would cost him dearly, landing him in a situation no better than Wan Zhaoyi.

Yet, it wasn’t time to think too much. Chen Wutian, Fei Yutian, and Qing Xiao were all prepared to fight to the death. If they could kill Xun Ya, it would all be worth it.

At this moment, something miraculous happened.

Xun Ya intended to take the Tianming Summoning Rune and Blue Dragon Armor. However, the Tianming Summoning Rune gave off a blinding glow.

Whoosh!

Xun Ya was caught off guard, and was knocked back by a few steps.

The Tianming Summoning Rune and Blue Dragon Armor flew off into the distance, falling to a youth who looked to be about 16 or 17 years old.

That youth stood atop a mountain with its peak cleaved off, and was extremely handsome. Even though he didn’t look old, his gaze seemed very steady and mature. He had the aura of an Emperor, being able to dictate the life or death of billions.

Xun Ya was a tad frustrated, and asked, “Who are you?”

“Tianming,” the youth dressed in white replied.

The Blue Dragon Armor automatically attached itself to him, and the blue glow on it was even brighter than when Wan Zhaoyi was wearing it.

The youth dressed in white murmured to himself, “It has been seven thousand years, and this has finally returned to me. What a pity for Wan Zhaoyi. If this generation did not have Chi Yao and Zhang Ruochen, or the huge calamity in Kunlun’s Field, perhaps he could become the next Emperor of Kunlun’s Field.”

The Kunlun’s Field practitioners were confused by his appearance.

“Who is this? Is he also a Kunlun’s Field Practitioner?”

“We have never seen him before, he seems like a big shot.”

Nine Heavenly Maiden gazed at that youth, and said, “He was the first one who established a central emperor in Kunlun’s Field after the ancient period, Tianming Emperor…”

Many practitioners were shocked. “Didn’t Tianming Emperor pass away seventy thousand years ago? How is he still alive?”

Nine Heavenly Maiden obviously knew some secrets, and replied, “Tianming Emperor had obtained a treasure, the Green Eyes Blue Blood Marble, and stored his body within. He turned into a Corpse Emperor, and lived his second life.”

Many of the Kunlun’s Field practitioners had heard of the legendary marble, and believed what Nine Heavenly Maiden was saying.

Perhaps…Tianming Emperor was really back!

Corpse Emperor Tianming stared at another Saint King in Heaven Field and declared, “I have come here to bring away the Kunlun’s Field practitioners. Move aside!”

“Why should we listen to you?”

“Even if you are restraining your corpse Qi, you can’t trick us. Who are you to command us?”

Among the Saint Kings of Heaven Field, one that could rank among the top ten stood out. Thinking that Corpse Emperor Tianming was too arrogant, he took out an iron pagoda, a Seven-Yao Ten-thousand Pattern Saint Weapon, and suppressed him.

The iron pagoda was originally seven inches in size, but it turned into a mountain in mid-air. Tens of thousands of inscriptions blinked on the pagoda as it gathered an overwhelming momentum.

Everyone nearby stepped aside out of fear that they were being attacked by the Iron Pagoda.

Boom!

The mountain that Corpse Emperor Tianming stood on was shattered and turned into a flatland. It happened with such ease that one would liken it to a balloon being burst by a needle.

The various Saint Kings of Heaven Field smiled.

“He didn’t even try to dodge the attack. What an arrogant fool.”

“Wait… He could hold off the attack?!”

The elf Saint King’s face twisted into disbelief and he pointed at the shattered mountain, his heart racing with terror.

It was as he had said. That youth held the pagoda at bay with merely one hand. He looked so relaxed, and it didn’t appear like he had to even try to block the damage.

“What a coincidence, I needed a nice Saint Weapon. This pagoda will be pretty good.”

The Tianming Summoning Rune flew out and wrapped around the pagoda.

Instantly, the connection between the weapon and the Saint King was severed. The pagoda turned back into its small form, and landed with Corpse Emperor Tianming.

Seeing that, everyone present, friend or foe, sucked in a breath of cold air.

Even Xun Ya quickly retreated to make some distance between himself and Corpse Emperor Tianming.

One must know that the assailant, Heart Ending King, was no slouch. Even if Xun Ya was in tip-top shape, he couldn’t be unscathed after receiving such a blow. Yet this youth dressed in white could do that so simply, and was definitely a difficult enemy to fight against.

Shang Ziyan’s gaze sharpened. “That was pretty amazing. However, I am afraid you are not strong enough to bring away the Kunlun’s Field practitioners.”

Corpse Emperor Tianming looked towards Shang Ziyan.

Boom!

As they looked into each other’s eyes, a massive thunderbolt was generated.

The powerful gush of Qi spread outwards, and blew away countless Saint Kings.

Corpse Emperor Tianming lightly groaned, and stepped back a few steps.

On the other hand, Shang Ziyan stood still, and merely said, “I told you so. You are not strong enough.”

Gong Ziyan and a dwarf seventh-step Saint King stepped up behind Shang Ziya, as though to cover his flanks. It seemed like they were prepared to take down Corpse Emperor Tianming as well.

“What if you include me?”

The gentle voice of a lady resounded.

After which, a patch of bloody mist surged forth within the gloomy skies. The presence was enough for Shang Ziyan to frown.

Within the blood mist, eight practitioners were lifting a red carriage that was the size of a palace, walking over with great gusto.

Within the carriage lay a woman with crystal clear skin. Her lush hair was jet black, and her face was covered by a mask carved out of ice. One could see an extremely bewitching pair of eyes.

Her cultivation was not high, or at least, Shang Ziyan would not have been threatened by it. However, the eight people lifting the carriage was the real problem. They were all Ninth-Step Saint Kings.

Eight Ninth-Step Saint Kings carrying a single lady was a scene that was all too surreal.

Precisely because of how atrocious it seemed, Shang Ziyan went on high alert and asked, “Are you also a Kunlun’s Field practitioner?”

“Indeed! But I am not here for this bunch of people. Their life or death has nothing to do with me. I came for another person, but it seems like he has yet to arrive.”

Shang Ziyan replied, “Being able to bring eight Ninth-Step Saint Kings of the previous generation here, you must have a pretty strong background!”

“They are all my servants, why can’t I?” she asked.

None of the Heaven Field practitioners could sit still after hearing that.

One must know that even Supreme Saints may not be able to have so many Ninth-Step Saint Kings as their servants. More so if the Ninth-Step Saint Kings were the leader of large swathes of territory and had lived for over a thousand years.

At the same time, Kunlun’s Field practitioners were confused too. Just when did Kunlun’s Field have such a powerful force?

Their gazes turned to the Nine Heavenly Maiden.

She knew most of Kunlun’s Field’s secrets after all.

However, this time, Nine Heavenly Maiden did not say anything, and instead, she seemed to be deep in thought.
