The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron

The nearest remnant spirit of a Mortal Fairy growled furiously, and its magnificent figure grasped towards Zhan Wushuang from afar, carrying ten thousand feet of tempestuous dark winds with it.

All of a sudden, the dark winds began raging wildly. A pitch-black ghostly claw tore the Void apart and came bearing down on Zhan Wushuang from across the Void.

There weren’t any other challengers who dared stand at the border of the mausoleum at the moment. This single blow had surpassed the threshold of tolerance of all challengers!

Han Fei, Dongfang Tianfeng and the rest were forced to retreat to a certain distance away.

“A failing piece of trash that has ended up being a dead spirit! What right do you have to strike at me?” Zhan Wushuang placed his hands behind his back, his eyes glinting with a contemptuous light as he strode forward while bellowing coldly.

This single step seemed to contain some kind of supreme magical power, as everyone’s heart began palpitating along with it. It was like a hand had streaked across somewhere near the heart.

The ghostly claw kept closing in. When it was only ten feet away from Zhan Wushuang, it was dispersed by an intangible force and turned into a phantom puff of smoke.

The mighty ghostly silhouette let out an ear-piercing shriek and was shattered into smithereens, disappearing into nothingness. Its grave shattered abruptly, and the pieces of debris were scattered all over the ground, along with a large number of skeletal remains and funerary items.

Even the funerary items of Mortal Fairies were extremely astonishing resources. Each of them was something that the commoners yearned to own. However, Zhan Wushuang took a step forward with a cold snort, as though he hadn’t seen those things at all.

The corpse and bones were turned into dust, along with the buried items all over the ground.

The onlookers outside the mausoleum were annoyed and angered beyond words as they watched, blood trickling from their hearts.

But when their gazes fell on the back of Zhan Wushuang, their vexation and anger disappeared without a trace, turning into deep, bitter smiles. He was so powerful that they couldn’t even muster the courage to confront him.

“Ahh! The relics of a Mortal Fairy. Zhan Wushuang doesn’t even take them seriously, yet we are longing terribly for them.” One of the greatest regional experts heaved out a sigh.

“Haha, fighting for relics that Zhan Wushuang doesn’t give a da*n about. I don’t even know how to describe what I’m feeling inside anymore.” Another of the greatest regional experts expressed his profound bitterness.

As the first-class geniuses of their regions, the distinct disparity between them and Zhan Wushuang was depressing. Killing the remnant spirit of a Mortal Fairy in one haphazard strike, his matchless power could intimidate all ghostly heroes.

The vexed ghostly silhouettes doused their flames of anger, not daring to take another step forward.

Zhan Wushuang glanced at all the ghostly silhouettes with iciness in his eyes. Where his gaze landed, the ghosts shuddered terribly and struggled for a little while, before bowing their heads and making way for him, like defeated soldiers that had kneeled before him. No matter where he went, Zhan Wushuang was a majestic entity.

“Humph! Weak men of failure, you don’t have the right to even raise your heads.” Zhan Wushuang barged straight to the grave of the Glittering Jewel Mortal Fairy, stepping on the golden brilliance.

Before the rest of the people could catch up with him, exasperated bellows were heard from the grave. Shortly after, the Mortal Fairy grave that had stood for an eternity suddenly erupted!

A mass of golden brilliance dashed towards the heavens. Zhan Wushuang held a jade coffin in his left hand, and a silver-white corpse was faintly visible in the coffin! The flesh and blood had dried up, leaving behind only a silver-white skeletal frame.

In the hand of the skeleton was a pitch-black scepter. It was the Glittering Jewel Fairy Scepter! This was the treasure used by the Glittering Jewel Mortal Fairy before her demise. It was a replica of the emperor-based saint artifact, a nature-defying celestial treasure that could purify everything in the world!

Needless to say, there were many more funerary items buried with the Glittering Jewel Mortal Fairy inside the jade coffin, which consisted of a huge part of the treasures she owned in her lifetime.

Everyone’s breath seemed to have frozen midair as they looked at Zhan Wushuang. The most abundant, magnificent of all the treasures in the Glittering Jewel Wonderland had finally been unearthed!

However, no one dared vie for it. The thought never even occurred to them for once.

As the imperial figure of their generation, the mundane people had no privilege to fight against him for something that he had his eyes on.

Zhan Wushuang, who had soared into the clouds, glanced disdainfully at all the challengers on the scene out of the corner of his eye. He did not even pause on Han Fei and Dongfang Tianfeng, but only glanced at them detachedly.

Then he tore the Void apart and revealed a corner of a breathtaking galactic world. He stepped into it and left the Glittering Jewel Wonderland by force, in such an astounding and ethereal way!

From his arrival to his departure, there had only been time to take a few breaths.

Nonetheless, his powerful, majestic aura which could compare to the Mortal Fairies left everyone with an impression which they wouldn’t be able to get out of their minds for the rest of their lives.

Su Yu gave a soft sigh. He had just witnessed the first among the younger generation underneath the starry sky. Su Yu couldn’t help but wonder if Zhan Wushuang was a reincarnation of a fallen Old Monster.

Met with the spirits of 3,000 emperors and kings upon his birth, united the mortal empires of Jiuzhou at the age of five, subdued the 3,000 factions of the Central Prefecture at the age of ten, and pointed the tip of the sword at the Central Prefecture’s King at the age of fifteen. All kinds of mystifying legends had shaken the world for a long time. The Jiuzhou Emperors of the past were nothing compared to him.

The assertion by the Great Oriental Family that he would become the paramount Jiuzhou Emperor in the future was completely reasonable. Now that he had witnessed it with his very eyes, Su Yu understood the judgment of the Great Oriental Family. Zhan Wushuang was a paragon of the eternity, one who was born to be an imperial hegemon, whose potential surpassed all Heaven Rulers in the history of Jiuzhou.

Su Yu wasn’t disheartened by this. On the contrary, he was alive with fighting spirits.

Zhan Wushuang was born to reign, and Su Yu had the Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron, Yun Yazi, and the emperor-saint saint artifact. One was innate, another was acquired. As a warrior who outshone thanks to strenuous efforts instead of inborn talents, Su Yu wouldn’t necessarily be unable to keep pace with this born emperor!

Long after he left, the mausoleum was still shrouded in dead silence. Everyone was shaken by the terrifying, transcendental techniques used by Zhan Wushuang.

Suddenly, a familiar bizarre chuckle interrupted the thoughts of everyone. “Hehe, I never expected that such an inborn emperor, a child of the Heaven’s Mandate, would actually exist in an age where Jiuzhou has fallen for so long!”

“Besides, apart from him, this batch is full of outstanding talents and geniuses who are like a breath of fresh air, which is so much more excellent than the previous batches.”

Amidst the rolling of debris and stones, a pitch-black dog scrambled out of the grave of the Glittering Jewel Mortal Fairy, its face disheveled and filthy. It laughed in an uncanny, plaintive way.

Before Su Yu and the rest could speak, some challengers shivered and screamed in terror. “It’s the Black Spirit!!”

“Ahh!! Run, fast! That was the thing that regulated the disaster of beasts and killed 20,000 challengers!”

A chaotic mix of shrill screams of shock and terror erupted. In the blink of an eye, the challengers surrounding the mausoleum scurried away in all directions, until not a single soul was left. They instinctively feared the black dog, behaving as if they had witnessed an exceptionally gruesome, brutal and cruel scene.

The black dog crawled out leisurely, turned and looked at Su Yu with its emerald dog eyes. “Hehe, you didn’t let me down! Just as expected, you have found your way to the mausoleum!”

Dongfang Tianfeng was fuming with murderous energy. “The demon race!!”

“Tsk tsk, little girl, don’t be so bad-tempered. Actually, I still like you a lot, because you smell like an old friend, after all,” the black dog said with a smile.

Old friend? Which old friend?

Dongfang Tianfeng’s face changed slightly, and an invisible shady haze appeared on her pure, innocent face.

“Since you guys are here, it indicates that the disaster of books, the martial disaster and the disaster of beasts have done you no harm.” The black dog had a praising look on its face. “What a great honor to have met such excellent juniors. I’m pleased like never before!”

The mausoleum was the final yard. This was the yard that was going to decide the outcome of the great battle. Perhaps, the torment imposed on the Jiuzhou continent by the Glittering Jewel Wonderland could be put to an end once the black dog was gotten rid of.

Both parties stood unmoving, each looking for the best opportunity to lash out.

“Eh, what’s the point of being so murderous? The fabulous drama is nearing its end, so of course everyone has to be around,” the black dog cackled, its gaze suddenly sweeping across the surroundings.

The two beams of emerald brilliance shot towards the woods at the periphery of the mausoleum. The trees hit upon by the green light were instantly reduced to dust.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Many hidden figures of humans leaped out from the obliterated trees.

“Bi Lingtian?” Su Yu recognized one of the figures. It was Bi Lingtian, who had parted ways with them in front of the martial tower!

Behind him stood Qian Feng, Zhao Li, Tianyu and more than 80 topless men of metal whose bodies were covered in talismans. Their eyes were stagnant and hollowed, seeming like some kind of unique tribe of people.

They must be the other batch of people whom the Heavenly Knife Region had in store.

“Haha, Brother Su, how have you been?” Bi Lingtian descended with a smile, followed by the rest of his people, and landed a thousand feet from Su Yu and his companions.

Su Yu cast a glance at the 80 peculiar metallic men, and said dispassionately, “It has been quite a while indeed. You must have spent a lot in search of this many Green Bronze Ancient Corpses!”

Upon hearing that, Bi Lingtian’s smile faltered for a split second.

The Green Bronze Ancient Corpses were an ancient faction that had vanished from the history of the eternity. They were proficient in refining dead bodies, and the dead bodies refined were divided into iron corpses, bronze corpses and silver corpses.

The combat power of iron corpses was no weaker than ninth-grade Almighty. The combat power of bronze corpses was not below Stage Two All Creations Old Monsters. The legendary silver corpses had an offensive capacity that could compare to Stage Six All Creations Old Monsters!

The Heavenly Knife Region had actually scoured the long-lost bronze corpses, and they had found more than 80 of them altogether. Such generosity was truly fascinating.

If the Heavenly Knife Region had engaged these extremely powerful bronze corpses in the battlefield earlier on when the two regions were at war, the Blessed and Heavenly Lands would most probably have lost a vast portion of their lands and rivers!

Nonetheless, the Heavenly Knife Region had never done that before, so the answer was quite obvious. This wasn’t at the expense of the Heavenly Knife Region. There was a whole other mysterious influence behind Bi Lingtian. Combined with his mysterious background, it wasn’t hard to deduce that Bi Lingtian’s identity wasn’t simple.

Over 80 bronze corpses was an astonishing number! If they came all at once, it definitely wouldn’t be hard for them to forcibly enter the tomb of the Glittering Jewel Mortal Fairy, even if they couldn’t attain Zhan Wushuang’s level of intimidating the remnant spirits of Mortal Fairies.

Qian Feng sneered, “Su Yuxian, are you afraid now?”

Su Yu looked at him nonchalantly. “Afraid of whom? A fox in the guise of a tiger like you?”

Upon hearing that, Qian Feng’s smile faded. Angered, he proclaimed, “Don’t get arrogant! You’ll regret it later on!”

“Shut up! Now is not the time for internal disorder,” Bi Lingtian said with a slight scowl.

Qian Feng immediately fell silent and retreated respectfully.

“Brother Su, the great enemy is right before us, our previous…” Bi Lingtian spoke with a smile.

Su Yu cut him off. “Join forces? Impossible, but I surely won’t make an enemy of you.”

His guard for Bi Lingtian actually far exceeded that for Dongfang Tianfeng, Gu Taixu, and even Zhan Wushuang. Bi Lingtian had given him an unknown sense of danger all the while.

“I’m glad to have your word, Brother Su.” Bi Lingtian smiled placidly. He lifted his gaze to meet the few other batches of challengers that were descending appeared rather remorseful.

“It’s a pity that the Demon Devouring Emperor isn’t here. He would be very interested in this mysterious black dog.”

The Demon Devouring Emperor was a savage young man who outranked Han Fei and Dongfang Tianfeng among the Starry Sky Elites.

He had an innate fondness of devouring demonic beasts and enhancing his power by absorbing their essence. He was a cruel, heartless man with a brutal, violent nature, and was the most dreaded figure among the youths of Jiuzhou.

Wherever he passed by, he was accompanied by gore and blood.

Instead of calling him a human, he might as well be known as the emperor of all beasts, the Demon Devouring Emperor.

Han Fei and Dongfang Tianfeng looked more or less fearful and alarmed when they heard the name “Demon Devouring Emperor”.
