Chapter 44

For instance, a Flame Physique possesses the power of fire and finds cultivation along the path of fire as effortless as a fish swimming through water.

Before entering the central burial chamber, everyone would see a stone stele bearing a death curse. Touch it, and death was certain; ghosts and monsters would cling to the victim, following them through every lifetime until their entire clan was wiped out.

Her skin was as pale as mutton-fat jade, yet tinged with a crystalline pink that made one want to sink their teeth into it.

What astonished everyone was that Jiang Nian had not been joking or boasting when she said she intended to complete nine sets of examination papers.

Then, under the horrified gazes of Gu He and the others, those three forces of incarnation began forming hand seals simultaneously. In the hands of each incarnation, thirty strands of natal sword essence condensed into existence.

Only then did the man get a clear look at Chen Ming’s face. He had sensed that something was wrong back on Sacred Spring Mountain, but by the time he tried to retreat, it was already too late. Now the man himself had come knocking. Most importantly, even after all this time—and after changing identities countless times—Chen Ming had still found him at the first opportunity.

This world did not possess only a side of light. The Chu Gate was a special organization established by those above to restrain extraordinary talents like him.

Since Yang An had chosen the Azure Emperor’s Immortality Art after careful consideration, rather than out of a momentary impulse or because he had been threatened or deceived, he was relieved.

The Wei family might have been able to manage the earlier video through public relations, but with this recording added to it, the blow to the Wei family would be devastating.

At last, the arcs of lightning dissipated. The Skeleton King tore free from the thunder in his palm, and when his blood-red eyes turned toward Zhou Lin, they became incomparably irritable and frenzied.

“Brother Zhou, I’m sorry for making you spend so much more money.” Shanshan apologized to Zhou Zhong, filled with remorse.

Zhou Lin let out a soft breath. Thick fog surrounded them on every side, and he was not worried that Yang Pei and the others would discover them.

After the two had left, Venerable Xuanzhen drew his treasured sword, Azure Steel, and stroked it repeatedly. The long sword shone of its own accord, as though responding to him.

Yes, Meng Dongxue was gone. At last, I understood Uncle Zhou’s sigh as he shook his head, and I finally understood why Aunt Xu refused to tell me directly and instead brought me here to see for myself. It was because neither of them could bear to tell me the truth. No matter how I discovered it, it would have been a merciless blow.

The Hu family patriarch, however, stood frozen. The Heavenly Palace had actually revealed this secret, which meant that he had been abandoned.

The moment those five appeared, they injured several members of Brothers Security and instantly intimidated everyone else. At that point, the people from Heavenly King Security finally reacted as well, drawing their iron rods and charging at the members of Brothers Security.

My uncle said with a worried frown, “I calculated the dates. Last night should have been the seventh night after that man’s death. On the seventh night, the dead usually return to reclaim their souls. He died here, and he was shot to death. He must have died with resentment, so he took advantage of his return last night to come here and cause a huge disturbance.”

I was probably the first person in this era to spit on himself and actually hit the target. I suppose I was.

“Boom!” The marked Rock-Armored Burrower exploded in an instant. Because of the intense heat, its flesh was cooked through—even charred.

Inside was pitch-black, and nothing could be seen. I tried reaching my hand in, but felt nothing unusual. It was no different from normal.

If that was the case, then Hao Lan’s mother’s counterforce was indeed powerful. Unfortunately, it made things difficult for her, since all she wanted was to find her son.

I stopped, my gaze vacant. Once again, the world constructed from lines appeared within my sight. Even the tower spirit floating in the sky was formed from countless lines. I was confident that with a single sword strike, I could completely shatter and annihilate them all.

Fortunately, Su Mei and Bai You were still there, two powerful experts. One possessed the strength of the Eighth Stage Profound Venerable Realm, while the other had one foot in the Profound Emperor Realm. With those two experts present, he was at least safe here in the Sky Ripple Continent, one of the four great continents of the Illusory Realm.

“Heavenly Net, why must you oppose us? Sigh…” The young master sighed, then slowly walked toward the window and listened to the whispers of the summer night.

Whether speaking to himself or confiding in someone, Lei Lie fixed his resolute eyes on Lin Xiao and suddenly spoke in a voice like a tolling bell.

Jin Hong, who was leading the way, narrowed his eyes slightly. His peaceful aura changed abruptly, and an overwhelming presence surged into the sky like mountains and seas. The Cloud-Piercing Leopard lowered its head, and amid its whimpering, its imposing momentum vanished completely.

After that, Li Qing began making bid after bid, successfully purchasing five bottles of Aperture-Opening Pills in succession. His offers were not particularly high. The people from the major powers had little need for such pills, so few were willing to compete with him.

The power of origin was the world’s most primordial seed, and naturally it could suppress everything governed by time. It could also contain all things in the world.

Liu Cuilian might have launched such a fierce assault on Guan Jinlin precisely because she had recognized his tolerance for sexual liberation.

“If this is a challenge, state your name!” Zhou Longjie did not even spare his opponent a glance. In front of these Japanese, he had to maintain the pride and distinction of a Chinese man.

Just as Miao Ruolan was immersed in her comprehension, the sound of the qin suddenly stopped. Yang Zhenhan walked out of the room and immediately spotted Miao Ruolan in the pavilion. He quietly approached her. Under ordinary circumstances, Miao Ruolan would certainly have noticed, but she was now at a critical juncture in her meditation and had no attention to spare.

“Put this on!” Jin Faguang took his own underwear from the wardrobe and added a pair of loose outer shorts.
