Chapter 1036 - Blood-Colored Battle God (2/2)

A superb rank! The best in the world! It was probably rare to find a person with a superb rank like this in the entire Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Old Man Xuan You had never thought that he would encounter such an unmatched superb rank in a corner as desolate as this. That aura was simply too holy—just what could have given rise to such a lady?

Originally, he had no other expectations for his path of cultivation in this life. He knew his own capabilities fully well, so he would only make it as far as to the Supreme Profundity later stage. He did not even dare to think of achieving great attainment of the Supreme Profundity Realm; even the Divine Illusionary realm was not something he had even dreamed of.

It was too difficult to raise his cultivation anymore, especially now that it was already at the Supreme Profundity Realm. Unless they had a big chance or a lucky break, most people would be stuck in that bottleneck for the rest of their lives.

However, if he had the assistance of the rare treasure in front of his eyes, he would be confident of breaking through to the legendary Divine Illusionary realm, much less merely a great attainment of the Supreme Profundity Realm.

It had been thousands of years since the Peng Lai Immortal Realm had last seen a Divine Illusionary realm cultivator. The next one might be him.

“You old thing, you look at me one more time and I’ll gouge your eyes out,” Gu Jingman frowned and said in a cold tone.

The gaze of that old thing was intrusive all over and just the sight of it irked her. She wanted nothing more than to dig his eyes out.

Old Man Xuan You’s face froze. As a powerful cultivator in the Supreme Profundity intermediary stage, he had made her such great promises, and yet not only did she ignore him, he also insulted him.

As powerful as he was, it seemed like just about any ordinary person was insulting him. In an instant, the entire dimension fell quiet and the atmosphere seemed to change greatly under the influence of Old Man Xuan You’s emotions. Raging winds appeared out of nowhere and snow fell from the skies, causing the temperature to drop drastically.

A lot of people in Intentionless City were scared out of their wits. Had she grown sick of living, talking back to Old Man Xuan You like this?

“What do we do? The goddess has angered Old Man Xuan You.”

“That d*mned Old Man Xuan You, how could he bully such a pretty fairy? But what do we do now? Old Man Xuan You is too strong, there’s no way we can stop him.”

‘We’re doomed, we’re doomed. A lot of the cultivators from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm know what kind of person he is, and the goddess will be doomed for sure if she lands in his hands. Is this what they mean when they say heaven envies the beautiful?”

…

Cries poured out from within Intentionless City. Quite a number of the cultivators from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm knew he was no decent person, not even by the standards of the heretic factions. He had cultivated specific heretic techniques used to harm women, and there was simply no telling how many women had been killed by him in the past years.

But something like this, although common knowledge, was not something many people spoke about much. It was because Old Man Xuan You was simply too terrifying and not many people in the entire Peng Lai Immortal Realm had dared offend him.

“What did you say?” Old Man Xuan You’s voice was like the cold breeze below the Nine Hells, cutting deep into the bone.

Gu Jingman was expressionless as always. She said coldly, “In your old age, why do you insist on making people this disgusted, you old thing? Did you mention that you want to take me as your disciple? Stop disgusting me. Please turn your vile gaze away from me.”

Gu Jingman genuinely detested Old Man Xuan You’s stare. It discomforted her greatly to feel his gaze on her. It was as if something dirty and revolting had covered her body. In one sentence, he was just too d*mn revolting.

Any woman would be revolted by that gaze. It was simply too evil.

Old Man Xuan You broke out into laughter suddenly. He said, “Alright, that’s good. I didn’t think you’d have much of a character on you. You think I’m disgusting and hateful, don’t you? Alright! I’ll disgust you even more in the future, make you hate me even more…”

Peals of evil laughter sent chills down everyone’s spines. In the next instant, the entire dimension trembled. Shortly after, a large hand appeared right in front of Gu Jingman, dragging her violently. The sky fell dark and it seemed like it was warping. It was impossible to block that claw.

Gu Jingman had been wary from the start, so she could respond to it immediately. She knew the old thing was scary, so she had never belittled him. In almost a split-second, a blood light glowed on her body. The blood light was like crystal glass, exceptionally holy.

Old Man Xuan You’s one hand was, certainly, impossible to block, and no Tide Changing cultivator could block it. But Gu Jingman escaped from his hand; she did not resist but disappeared from the place altogether. The place she had stood at turned into blood-colored crystals that were crushed by the large claw in an instant.

And Gu Jingman’s figure had already disappeared into the distance.

“Huh, it’s the Substitution Escape technique.”

Old Man Xuan You looked towards Gu Jingman in shock. This woman had actually managed to cultivate the secret technique of Substitution Escape. This was a rare technique, one that not even he had cultivated.

Gu Jingman extended an arm, her face devoid of emotions, and a blood-colored spear appeared in her hand. At the same time, beams of blood light seeped out from her body to form an intricate battle armor over it. The design was simple but effective and beautiful. It clung to Gu Jingman’s body in all the right places and made her look exceptionally tempting, even more charming.

At the same time, her aura continued growing rapidly. Her hair was as long as a dragon and fluttered about as if it had its own mind. Gu Jingman’s cultivation had stopped earlier but, under the pressure of Old Man Xuan You, it took another step forth and broke through to the great attainment of the Tide Changing Realm in an instant.

She gripped the spear and looked at Old Man Xuan You as she took one step after another, her battle spirit was clear. It looked like she was ready to fight him.

Old Man Xuan You looked at Gu Jingman in shock. This beautiful woman was not ordinary, indeed. Her cultivation had made another breakthrough. That battle armor and spear of hers, too, did not look simple. It seemed like her entire body was cloaked in a vague, hazy sense of mystery. The more women were like this, the more it excited Old Man Xuan You. His desire to conquer grew stronger, he wanted to make her his.
