Chapter 615: Sword Pointed at the Heavenly Realm, Woken Up by Eldritch’s Blood

　　Inside the black hole was pure darkness as if they had entered a dead planet with no life. The ground was made up of a layer of yellow soil with broken walls and nothing else.

　　In this desolation, a flag pole stood in the mud, with a black flag fluttering in the wind, exuding a wild atmosphere, as if one could feel the traces of the past years, which came from ancient times.

　　Above this space, the two parties were facing each other with their aura trying to overpower each other.

　　A fiery red spear emerged with dazzling colorful brilliance in Guming’s hand. He sent out waves after waves of attack bringing a burst of power with the ability to destroy heaven and earth. The attacks set off a roar and rushed towards Blackie and the rest of his group.

　　Blackie’s face remained calm. Then, he took a step and a jump forward butt first, aiming straight at Guming.

　　Boom! Boom! Boom!

　　Blackie’s black leather pants emitted a burst of black light which pushed all of Guming’s attack back to whence they came from.

　　“One spear to rule them all!” Guming shouted, his eyes wide with the intent to kill, aiming for Blackie butt. The light at the tip of the spear kept swirling and getting bigger. It looked as if it could pierce through the universe.

　　A loud hum could be heard when the spear collided into Blackie’s butt. The surrounding space trembled and everything collapsed! Guming and Blackie seemed to be frozen in space with neither of them moving. The only thing moving was the constant flickering and changing of the surrounding making it a terrifying sight to behold.

　　“It’s your turn to die now!” Guyu said, turning his gaze to the rest of Blackie’s group and rushed toward them with a cold smile. He could not wait to eliminate them.

　　“I’ll handle him!” Old Dragon said, volunteering himself. He headed straight for Guyu and with a flick of his wrist, a shovel appeared in his hand, which he used to shovel Guyu.

　　Guyu was shrouded in brilliant lights — like a falling meteor falling down — surrounded by Laws and visions around his body. The vision became a lion which gave out a loud roar at Old Dragon.

　　Old Dragon was much more unpretentious. He looked like an old farmer with his calm face, flying beard, and the shovel in his hand.

　　The collision of shoven against fist was akin to a comet hitting the earth. Guyu’s knuckles were no match to Old Dragon’s shovel. The shovel cut through his fist and blood sprayed out. His arms became mangled with the blood and flesh mixing with each other.

　　Guyu roared with pain and his whole body was shaking. He could feel his Primordial Spirit shaking too as if his Origins of Life had been shoveled away with this one attack. Even his soul felt like it was being torn apart.

　　Old Dragon gripped his shovel tighter and sent Guyu flying with another whack. This time the force of the attack was so strong that one of Guyu’s arm became detached from his body, sending a trail of blood through the air.

　　Guyu gave off another roar of pain. His face was contorted and his previous cocky expression was nowhere to be seen. The Ministry people could not believe he was so easily defeated by a shovel.

　　“That shovel must be a powerful Immortal Machine!”

　　“How is this possible? Lord Guyu was sent flying with a hit.”

　　“And that black leather pants was able to withstand Lord Guming’s spear! Incredible! Unbelievable!”

　　“Their power frightens me!”

　　Only Left Messenger was unmoved by all the scenes before her for she was used to it. She remembered the spatula used by Food God worked similarly as the shovel used by Old Dragon.

　　Guyu looked at the shovel in Old Dragon’s hand and asked in a thick voice, “What kind of shovel is that?”

　　Although his arm grew back, the same could not be said for his Origins of Life. It was truly gone for good. Even if it was a little amount, the fact that it was shaved off was enough to send chills up his spine.

　　To a high-level of the Heavenly Realm, their Origins of Life were akin to their lifespan. Therefore, one must do all that they can to prevent it from getting hacked off. If Old Dragon was to hit him with the shovel again and again, he would surely die in no time.

　　“Oh this old thing? It’s just a simple shovel for digging mud,” replied Old Dragon with no expression on his face. Once again, he wasted no time to send out another attack at Guyu with the shovel in his hand.

　　Guyu needed to be cautious and make sure no parts of his body would come in contact with the shovel. With a flick of his wrist, a dark green broadsword appeared in his hand. The broadsword was surrounded by a blood-thirsty aura. He quickly raised the broadsword against the shovel.

　　“Don’t stand there and just watch! Do your part and kill as many of them as possible!” The Minister ordered in a low voice.

　　“Charge!”

　　Guyu and the other two high-level members of the Heavenly Realm looked toward Cultivator Junjun and the rest of the group. Although they were confident they would be victorious over them, there was still the element of luck which could overthrow the whole thing.

　　Cultivator Junjun and Nuwa each took a step forwards their opponents while the rest of the group ganged up on the other high-level member of the Heavenly Realm. Although they did not receive any Immortal Machine from the expert, their weapons have been nurtured by his Deluxe Merit, making them more powerful than they normally would be. They took out their weapons at the same time and visions started appearing in the sky.

　　“Activate Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation!” Yang Jian shouted with a serious expression.

　　Once one had entered the ranks of the Heavenly Realm, their lives had already surpassed the Chaos. They would not be easily taken out with numbers.

　　However, though Yang Jian and the rest of them might only be from the ranks of the Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, they possessed extraordinary experience and their understanding of Dao had far surpassed others on the same level. It would not be an exaggeration to say that their real power, honed through their training, would be no weaker than those from the Heavenly Realm.

　　“I’ll be the main attacker! I love myself a challenge because those on the same level as me are too boring!” Xiao Chengfeng said, volunteering himself. His tone was cocky as if he was truly unparalleled in this world.

　　In his hand was a longsword exuding a mighty aura. He sent out a long beam of light up to the sky which exploded, sending many light attacks like comets, aiming straight for the high-level member of the Heavenly Realm.

　　This attack was imbued with the true meaning of swordsmanship with enough power to cut through all the Laws, overturn karma, and cut down all enemies!

　　However, the high-level member of the Heavenly only smiled at the incoming attack. When the light beam was close to him, he slowly raised his finger and touched the tip of it. Then, it was as if time was frozen for the light beams all stopped before disappearing into the thin air.

　　That would explain the smile on his face for he had been suppressed for long enough. Finally, he could relish the unleashing on his power in a battle. “You all are not a match for me! I can destroy your formation with a punch!”

　　“Xiao Chengfeng, you’re nothing but hot air! You make me laugh with your attack. Let’s see how you’ll handle the next one!”

　　A huge phantom of the Juling Shen appeared with a huge axe in his hand. He cut down the axe at where the high-level member of the Heavenly Realm was standing. The time-space fabric of the axe’s path became torn, leaving a black strip in the air.

　　“Fools!”

　　Without waiting to be struck by the axe, the high-level member of the Heavenly Realm gently aimed a slap at the phantom with a cold smile.

　　Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

　　A gust of wind howled before condensing itself into a huge phantom palm print. It not only extinguished the phantom of Juling Shen but continued on to break the Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation!

　　Then, with a pull of his wrist, the body of Juling Shen was forcibly pulled out of the formation and suspended in the air, bounded by the power.

　　“Killing you all is as easying as crushing ants!” The high-level member of the Heavenly Realm was burning like fire. He started to squeeze his fingers close to activate the Laws to condense itself to a force of suppression around Juling Sheen, causing the space around him to collapse into itself.

　　The sound of Juling Sheen’s bones breaking could be heard while blood gushed out from all his orifices.

　　“Stop!” The rest of the group cried out at such a scene. Bright stars gleamed out of the formation transforming into countless brilliant attacks which rushed towards the high-level member of the Heavenly Realm.

　　However, he only had to wave his sleeves and to block all the lights of the stars.

　　Everyone became panic stricken and sent out their most powerful attacks but alas, they could only watch as Juling Shen’s life drained out from him.

　　“Want to squeeze meto death? Impossible!” Juling Shen said in a hoarse voice. His body had become distorted while making the last resistance.

　　The mana around him began to tremble. He clenched his teeth and even with the extreme pain he was experiencing, he was still determined to enlarge his body to push away the Laws that were suppressing his body.

　　Both of his eyes became red and blood gushed out of his mouth. He pushed down on the force suppressing his body and said, “I’m nothing if not a giant!”

　　“Haha, you just make me want to crush you into a ball more!” The high-level member of the Heavenly Realm mocked. Suddenly, his expression changed when he saw the phantom of Juling Shen slowly appearing in front of him.

　　“Don’t fight if you can’t take it anymore! You still have us! Just say the word and I’ll come save you!” Xiao Chengfeng said with a smile. His hair was flying, his eyes were electric, and a sharp aura emitted out from his body.

　　‘You are forced to come and not be free.

　　Three thousand visitors are full of flowers,

　　Fourteen states froze over,

　　With one strike of the sword.’

　　Xiao Chengfeng slowly closed his eyes, and the poem written by the expert appeared in his mind. His mood seemed to have reached its peak at this moment, bringing him endless insights. How could he stay calm after learning that this poem was written for Jiang Liu. He was extremely jealous which spurred him to find Jiang Liu to dig deep into the insights of the poem together.

　　Sword cultivators fear nothing in this world!

　　Xiao Chengfeng raised his longsword up and it glinted in the sun! With a slash of his sword the whole world brightened up with the reflection bouncing off the sword. Countless Sword Qi filled the space, cutting through all the aura, and filling it with so much light that it was difficult to open one’s eyes.

　　It was as if one would need to be prepared to be turned into dust just by being there. It took a long while for the bright light to dissipate. The Laws that were suppressing Juling Shen were destroyed and the high-level member of the Heavenly Realm stared at Xiao Chengfeng with eyes wide opened in disbelief. Suddenly, blood gushed out of his mouth and his body began to crack apart. He had been sliced into many pieces.

　　Xiao Chengfeng was taking big gulps of breath from the exertion of it all but his face was one of happiness at what he just did. “The expert would be proud of me for imbuing the attack with the poem he had written! I’ve managed to cut down a high-level member of the Heavenly Realm! I’ve always known I could do it!”

　　Xiao Chengfeng had always harbored mixed feelings toward the knowledge of the expert giving Jiang Liu Wisdom and poem. He had always viewed his sword as his life and had hoped the expert would give him recognition for his swordsmanship. However, the appearance of Jiang Liu had presented a huge challenge to him.

　　‘Even the sky had to bow down to my swordsmanship for I am the sword that can cut through darkness! Jiang Liu, just you wait! Even though the expert had taken you under your wings, you’re still no match for me in a sword fight!’ Xiao Chengfeng thought.

　　Suddenly, the high-level of the Heavenly Realm emitted a glow and his aura started to reconden and converged into a body. He looked at Xiao Chengfeng and said to him in a cold voice, “The difference in our realms meant it is fated that you would never be able to destroy my Origins of Life!”

　　The sound of the Minister’s impatient and blood-thirsty voice came from afar. “Finish them quickly and end this farce now!”

　　The high-level member of the Heavenly Realm did not say anything further except to send out an attack. “Sundering God,” he cried out as he raised both of his hands and a terrifying aura started to surge up.

　　Suddenly, the sky shook with a loud boom. Spatial cracks began to appear all around, making the entire sky look as if it was riddled with holes. A dark hole started to form in the middle of the Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation. The result was akin to a picture of a starry sky being cut in the middle with a knife!

　　The figures of Yang Jian and others all appeared and they all suffered heavy injuries. They spurted blood out of their mouths before falling to the ground.

　　Not far away, the black flag was still swaying with the wind.

　　The high-level member of the Heavenly Realm slowly took a few steps forward, looked at everyone with contempt, and said calmly, “It’s over.”

　　He sent out another phantom palm print which began a storm that shrouded everyone. The force of the storm was enough to turn them all into dust.

　　Yang Jian and others gritted their teeth against the force of the storm. They were not afraid to die but inside their hearts, they felt some regret at not being able to stay by the expert’s side anymore. They thought back to all the delicious food they were fortunate to taste and felt they could die happily.

　　The high-level member of the Heavenly Realm was about to turn his backs on them to join another battle when his expression suddenly changed.

　　The ordinary looking Chaos Flag was making some weird noises before sending out a similar storm towards Yang Jian and the others, effectively cancelling out their enemies’ attack. The high-level member of the Heavenly Realm was slightly shocked at the turn of events when he heard a misty voice coming out from the void.

　　“I have been woken up from my ten-thousand years of slumber by the blood of the Eldritch!”

　　The voice was ethereal, and there was an indescribable majesty. Even a simple sentence caused chaotic resonance and ripples. Everyone felt this in their hearts at the same time, and their eyes all turned towards one direction.

　　On the cliff in the distance stood a figure bathed in light as if she was made of light. The figure’s face was indistinguishable no matter how hard one looked. Her entry was akin to a protagonist of a story as if the ten-thousand living creatures in the universe would be more than willing to surrender to her.

　　She was a beautiful woman indeed! She possessed an indescribable demeanor and the same could be said by her unparalleled beauty! A light white dress hugged her graceful figure and she walked on the air with bare feet.

　　“Stop her! Quickly!” When Guming and Guyu saw the woman, their pupils contracted rapidly. After endless years, their first reaction was still horror. They hurriedly shouted, “Don’t let her get the Chaos Flag!”

　　The high-level member of the Heavenly Realm acted like he had just woken up from a dream. He hurriedly raised his hand, and launched an attack on the figure. These bombardments tore the sky and the earth, smoothed the surrounding mountains, and made the ground collapse.

　　However, the figure seemed unaffected by it all and continued to move forward one step at a time amidst the scene of destruction.
