Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
A large group of top Luosha cultivators gathered at a castle made from piled rock in the middle of the forest. Fourth and third marquises were everywhere, patrolling in the castle.
There was an extremely complicated formation in the center of the castle. It was more than 300 meters in diameter.
The Luosha Princess stood in the formation. She was studying the runes and was very focused. Her beautiful face looked translucent under the reflection of the formation’s glow.
Yang Qi crossed his arms over his chest. He stood on the side of the formation and looked at her quietly, feeling impressed. No wonder the princess is the top genius of the Luosha Race. Not only is her fighting undefeatable, she’s also comparable to those masters in the field of formations.
Even with Yang Qi’s cultivation, he’d still suffered when he accidentally entered this ancient formation. But the princess stepped in easily and was studying it, seemingly wanting to set it up again.
The Luosha Princess smiled. “This formation is quite similar to the area deep within the Phoenix Nest. If I can decode it, I might be able to break through the enchantment.”
“Your Highness has already gone past the 99 mountains to the Phoenix Nest?” Yang Qi asked.
“Indeed.”
Yang Qi was stunned. “Not even the strongest of the Shatuo Seven Fields have crossed the last 33 saint mountains and yet you could come and go as you please. I am so impressed.”
The Luosha Princess stared at the formation while her lips curled up. “None of us are fools, so why are you praising me so purposefully? It won’t be hard for you to enter the last 33 mountains either.”
Yang Qi chuckled. He wanted to continue speaking but suddenly sensed something. He gazed toward the entrance of the castle.
Lord Lingquan walked in with nine first marquises.
What shocked Yang Qi was that they were all more or less injured.
Among them, Marquise Xianling was the most injured and had already fainted.
Yang Qi was Lord Lingquan’s compet.i.tor, so he knew how strong the lord was. This was his first time seeing him in such a state of loss.
“Lingquan, how come you look so miserable? Did you get attacked by the seven worlds?” Yang Qi grinned.
Lord Lingquan glared at him and scoffed. He bowed at Luosha Princess and gritted out, “Your Majesty, please let me lead the Luosha army and kill the Saints of the Shatuo Seven Fields.”
The Luosha Princess walked out of the formation. Looking at them, she was surprised too. “Marquis Fengxing couldn’t come back with you. It seems like you suffered quite a big loss. Tell me. Who did you meet that could make the famous Lord Lingquan lose like this?”
Gritting his teeth, Lord Lingquan was furious. “Marquis Fengxing was killed by that priest of the Guanghan Field. This is blood rivalry. I hope Your Majesty will give me the chance to take revenge.”
“Zhang Ruochen.”
The Luosha Princess was taken aback, but then a smile appeared on her pretty face again.
“Zhang Ruochen is indeed strong, but his cultivation hasn’t risen yet. He’s still only a True Saint. There’s no way he could be your match. How come you still lost so badly?”
“Zhang Ruochen by himself can’t defeat me,” Lord Lingquan said. “But this time, a strange thing happened. Another powerful figure appeared, or maybe…nine…”
“Is it one or nine?” Yang Qi asked.
Then Lord Lingquan described how the Nine Heavenly Maidens turned into one. He didn’t leave out any details.
He knew that the princess had read many books and knew everything. He didn’t understand, but the princess might be able to guess the reason.
After hearing Lord Lingquan’s description, the Luosha Princess’ expression grew serious. She sank into deep thought. Half a beat later, she finally murmured to herself, “Could it be the legendary Nine Yao Divine Tear?”
“What’s that?” Lord Lingquan asked in confusion.
“This has something to do with a super figure,” the Luosha Princess said. “However, that figure died in the G.o.d battle 100,000 years ago.”
Yang Qing’s features twitched. “Your Majesty, are you speaking of the Nine Yao G.o.d?”
“How can it be?”
Lord Lingquan was frightened. Even after 100,000 years, the Nine Yao G.o.d’s name was still known throughout the h.e.l.l World. Even a Luosha lord would feel fear at hearing his name.
Some figures still terrorized the world even in death.
The Luosha Princess nodded softly. “The “Nine Yao” point to nine types of extreme power: yang or the sun, yin or the moon, the Luohou, the Jidu, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Luohou represents destruction. Jidu represents wisdom. The Nine Yao G.o.d is the only one in the entire universe who cultivated all nine powers to the extreme. He was also the controller of a world’s Saintly Way 100,000 years ago.
“In legends, when the Nine Yao G.o.d died, all his divine power exploded. It destroyed a ma.s.s of stars. Only nine teardrops flowed out. They transformed into nine meteorites and landed in Kunlun’s Field.
“There are many legends about the Nine Yao Divine Tears. Some say that it’s the essence of the Nine Yao G.o.d’s power. Others say that his tears contained a vast knowledge inheritance. Even others say that it doesn’t exist at all. It’s just a story that people made up because they were unwilling to believe that the Nine Yao G.o.d had died.
“Based off of what Lord Lingquan said, the Nine Heavenly Maidens have different physiques, but are quite similar to the nine powers of the Nine Yao G.o.d.”
Yang Qi’s eyes sharpened. “If they really inherited the nine powers, then they aren’t any less threatening than Zhang Ruochen. We must kill them early on.”
