Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Panda Novel

Jiang Yi left in the middle of the night, and apart from Su Ruoxue, Jiang Xiaonu, Qian Wanguan, and the others—not even the palace maids and eunuchs—knew about it. It has been rather peaceful for a few months, and everyone was able to stabilize their hearts. Everyone felt safe with the Yazi Beast around, of course… and if they knew that Jiang Xiaonu was a hidden martial expert, they would feel even more at ease.

Jiang Yi had become famous in a single battle at Monarch City. Before the three-year deadline was up—and with the Demon Empress overseeing from the Fairy Peak, who would dare to attack Summer Rain City? How could they not be afraid of getting killed by the Demon Empress? If the enemies didn’t forcefully attack, Jiang Yi and his group would continue being holed up in the Summer Rain City. Even if the enemy had incredible capabilities, would they be able to make any moves in the dark?

Thus, Jiang Yi departed with a peace of mind. He dug 30 kilometers into the ground and rode the Zouwu Beast in a straight line towards the Saint Spirit Kingdom. Looking at the pitch-black tunnel, Jiang Yi suddenly recalled about the horrific underground world. If he continued to dig underground, would he ultimately reach that underground world?

“What secrets are hidden in that underground world? Why must the Martial Arts Hall pursue everyone that knew about the underground world? How are the Martial Arts Hall and the underground world related? Why don’t the dreadful zombies in the underground world rush out and destroy all life on the continent?”

Jiang Yi’s imagination was running wild, and he knew that if everything went smoothly this time, he would be able to refine terrifying flames. If he had the strength to go against peak-stage Vajra Realm martial experts, he would surely go look for the Martial Arts Hall’s headquarters and eliminate all the experts in the Martial Arts Hall. Afterward, he would interrogate for the secrets of the underground world.

“Clashing against peak-stage Vajra Realm martial experts!”

When Jiang Yi thought about this, his heart burned with determination. If he was able to kill peak-stage Vajra Realm martial experts, he would stand atop at the pinnacle of the continent. No one would dare to threaten his life and the lives of the people that were close to him. He would kill all his enemies and become the dictator of the continent. He would then be able to live a carefree life with Su Ruoxue. That would be such a satisfying conclusion.

“Just a little bit more. I will soon be able to reach that conclusion and live a comfortable life.”

Jiang Yi’s eyes were filled with radiance. His future was ruined, and he had disappointed the Witch God, the Demon Empress, Shui Youlan, and the others. Perhaps, he might regret later on, but didn’t he try to rapidly increase his strength just to kill all his enemies?

When he thought about having a peaceful life with Su Ruoxue, he would think of bringing everyone around to travel the continent when they were free. When Jiang Yi thought about having some children and watching them slowly grow, he would unconsciously reveal a fascinated smile. He yelled out, “Big Huang, hurry up.”

“Moo Moo!”

Big Huang let out a few deep roars and increased its speed, turning into a black line as it rapidly sprinted towards the north.

…

Big Huang’s speed was very fast, but it was slow as a snail compared to the Yazi Beast. So, for Big Huang to rush to the Soul-Seizing Valley which was located in the northern part of the Saint Spirit Kingdom, it would require at least half a month.

Jiang Yi had been traveling for the past few days. The continent was rather peaceful, and the only commotion was in Monarch City of the Divine Martial Kingdom.

Xia Tingwei had returned!

The sky of Monarch City suddenly appeared with a spatial crevice while a figure flashed out from within and rushed into the royal palace.

Despite the fact that Xia Tingwei only appeared in the sky for a split moment, many of the Soul Travel Realm experts had noticed it. Most of them had an astonished expression as Xia Tingwei was only left with half his body. Both his legs were gone, and most importantly… his eyes were filled with dreadful resentment and anger, which caused them to tremble with fear.

Xia Tingwei didn’t die, but he would be a cripple for life. He would have to sit on a wheelchair just like Zhuge Qingyun. Furthermore, his strength would never be able to advance anymore. A human body was like a natural formation, and the physical body was the foundation. If the physical body was incomplete, then the formation wouldn’t be perfect. How could one possibly improve with an incomplete body? It was already praiseworthy if one didn’t decline.

After Xia Tingwei returned, he didn’t summon any of the officials. Strangely enough, Jiang Bieli entered the palace to meet with Xia Tingwei, but he left the next day and returned to Jiang Yi City.

Xia Tingwei announced a decree, allowing Zhangsun Yan who survived the ordeal, to govern the political affairs. Afterward, there was no news about him anymore.

Zhan Yiming and Qian Gui were feeling uncomfortable as they were worried that Xia Tingwei would come down on them due to their implication with Jiang Yi. They thought that Xia Tingwei had perished and didn’t expect for him to return alive. Right now, it was impossible to migrate the clan, and they had to resign themselves to fate.

The citizens of the Divine Martial Kingdom were all feeling anxious. Xia Tingwei obviously fell out with Jiang Bieli; otherwise, Jiang Bieli wouldn’t have left immediately. The Divine Martial Kingdom—which was the strongest among the six vassal kingdoms—had lost one of their martial experts because of Jiang Yi, and the morale of the entire kingdom had suffered a huge blow.

On the twelfth day, Jiang Yi arrived at the center of the Saint Spirit Kingdom while there was a strange occurrence that happened in the eastern part of the continent.

Firstly, it was the Northern Liang Kingdom and the Divine Martial Kingdom which sent out their fleet to hunt down the sea demons in the eastern sea. All of a sudden, they released emergency distress signal flares. These fleets belonged to the clans that were situated in the eastern parts of the two kingdoms. They relied on hunting lower-tiered sea demons to earn a living, and when these clans received the signal flare, they immediately sent out experts as reinforcements. As a result… the reinforcement sent out another distress signal flare!

The reinforcements provided by these few clans were led by Soul Travel Realm experts. According to normal situations, they shouldn’t be encountering formidable sea demons in the shallow sea regions. When the various clans tried to communicate with the reinforcement experts, there were no replies.

These clans panicked and immediately reported to the two royal clans, requesting for immediate support.

The two kingdoms viewed this seriously, and each sent out a hundred Soul Travel Realm experts provide rescue at the eastern sea. There were several peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts within these armies. Their main objective was to conduct the rescue and to scout out the situation. In the end… after departing to the sea for a short period of time, the two armies had returned. The 100 Soul Travel Realm experts that the two kingdoms each sent out had returned with only a few survivors.

These survivors brought back shocking news!

There was a sea demon insurrection at the eastern sea, and there was a beast tide. This time, the scale of the beast tide was several folds larger than the one that happened a few centuries ago. There were actually more than a dozen demon kings mutually killing one another in the shallow sea region.

The continent was shaken as the Northern Liang Kingdom’s Sha Di immediately transmitted a message to the Water Moon Observatory to inquire about the situation. The Water Moon Observatory replied that Shui Youlan was still in seclusion, and that the Starfall Island had already activated the Illusion Sky Great Array, asking for the citizens of the continent to fend for themselves.

Sha Di immediately cursed. The Starfall Island had the Illusion Sky Great Array which allowed the Starfall Island to release a fog-like illusion zone which had a radius of a hundred miles. All those sea demons which entered the fog wouldn’t be able to approach the Starfall Island. However, the continent didn’t have such an array.

The Divine Martial Kingdom and the Northern Liang Kingdom were definitely going to suffer the first impact. The southeast part of the Great Xia Kingdom would also be affected. If the demon kings were to go berserk and went ashore, it would probably be a calamity for the human race.

The Northern Liang Kingdom quickly mustered their army and went to the sea, which was personally led by Sha Di. The Divine Martial Kingdom had also sent out their army, which had comprised of almost all the Soul Travel Realm experts in the kingdom. Jiang Bieli personally led the army. These two kingdoms were the ones that would be hit hard by this disaster.

The Great Xia Kingdom had panicked, too.

How would Su Ruoxue dare to act recklessly without Jiang Yi around? A rash move might just give the enemy an opportunity to strike at them.

Finally, Su Ruoxue came up with a good idea. Since the Great Xia Kingdom only had a small territory that was near the eastern sea, couldn’t she just migrate all the citizens in the cities over there? The sea demons were, after all, demonic beasts in the sea. If there was no one for them to kill after coming onshore, they would naturally return to the sea.

The three kingdoms were facing a severe situation, and the other kingdoms were also anxious. If this beast tide for several folds larger than the one in the past—and if a demon thearch was to appear, they might just wipe out the entire continent. No one would be spared.

The various kingdoms assembled their experts and were ready to provide support at any time. The Great Zen Monastery and the three colleges had also gathered their experts to provide support. The entire continent was in a harsh and desolate atmosphere.

Of course, apart from the Hades Abyss!

When Ji Tingyu received the report from her subordinates, she let out a shallow smile and continued to play her Chinese zither. Her lily-white hands fiddled with the strings, playing a harmonized music. Her eyes looked towards the sky while she let out a light sigh. “Has it finally begun? Jiang Yi, we will meet again soon. Do you still remember Tingyu?”
