Chapter 1749 - Eight Ninth-Step Saint Kings (1/2)

The world turned dead silent.

The Kunlun’s Field pract.i.tioners in the Palace had already seen something amiss with Wan Zhaoyi before the final fight, but Nine Heavenly Maiden had blocked them.

When they finally saw that Wan Zhaoyi’s presence had finally died down, their hearts sank, and they felt sorrow so heartrending they wanted to cry.

In merely half an hour, he set fire to his life, s.h.i.+ning brighter than anything, before returning to the void.

Wan Zhaoyi, who represented his entire generation, had become history.

Dong Wutian, Xi Wufa, Nan Xinshu, Bei Yutian… There were more heroes now.

Countless heroes were buried within the flow of time, and Wan Zhaoyi became yet another one.

There were many from before, and there would be many more in the future.

Shhh…!

Wan Zhaoyi’s essence, qi, and spirit had all been exhausted. As the chilling wind blew, his body turned into sand, and spilled from the Blue Dragon Armor. His two legs, his body, and his head had all disappeared, as though he had never been in this world.

Xun Ya heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly stood up. He put a healing pill into his mouth.

As his wounds stabilized, he looked towards the Tianming Summoning Rune and Blue Dragon Armor.

That Kunlun’s Field pract.i.tioner had almost killed him due to this equipment, not because of a difference in cultivation.

Xun Ya was just about to take them when Kunlun’s Field pract.i.tioners started to scold him.

“Those belonged to Wan Zhaoyi. You Heaven Field sc.u.m don’t deserve them!”

“Little Saint G.o.d has died, and didn’t even leave behind his body. We must bring his remnants back to Kunlun’s Field!”

…

Dong Wutian, Qing Xiao, and Fei Yutian all dashed out from the palace, wanting to s.n.a.t.c.h back the Tianming Summoning Rune and the Blue Dragon Armor.

They were in the same generation as Wan Zhaoyi, and had fought together, had competed with each other, and had matched up with each other on the Earth Board and Heaven Board. They had truly respected him.

Yet, they were stopped by the Heaven Field Saint Kings, unable to even get close to Xun Ya.

Xun Ya snickered, “With your puny cultivation, you dare to jump before me? Or do you also have secret arts that make you able to make a last-ditch attempt?”

“What last-ditch? Who was the one who got beaten down like a dog?” Qing Xiao taunted.

Xun Ya’s face blackened and showed murderous intent. “What ignorance. I will torture you even after death.”

Although he was severely injured, Xun Ya’s Saint Qi quickly activated, and a strong Saint Might emerged from within him. With just that, he was able to make Chen Wutian, Qing Xiao, and Fei Yutian almost lose their footing.

Chen Wutian showed a look of desperation and said, “This man is the leader of Divine Blood War Palace, and we might not be a match for him even if we had the same cultivation level. Now, with his cultivation way higher than us, it would be even harder for us to match him. I need to use the final move in the Four Nine Techniques, Beyond the Five Elements, to be able to tank his attacks.”

Fei Yutian replied, “You can indeed use Beyond the Five Elements to evoke ma.s.sive powers, but that would mean death. Why don’t you lend me your Saint Qi such that I could use the stone blade to quickly kill him?”

Fei Yutian’s stone blade was a heavenly treasure created naturally within the northern regions of Kunlun’s Field. The inscriptions on the stone blade followed the mountains and rivers of the northern regions.

Someone had once made a prediction that, should Fei Yutian reach Supreme Saint, he could command Kunlun’s Field’s northern region’s heavenly powers.

Of course, with his current cultivation, doing something like that would cost him dearly, landing him in a situation no better than Wan Zhaoyi.

Yet, it wasn’t time to think too much. Chen Wutian, Fei Yutian, and Qing Xiao were all prepared to fight to the death. If they could kill Xun Ya, it would all be worth it.

At this moment, something miraculous happened.

Xun Ya intended to take the Tianming Summoning Rune and Blue Dragon Armor. However, the Tianming Summoning Rune gave off a blinding glow.

Whoos.h.!.+

Xun Ya was caught off guard, and was knocked back by a few steps.

The Tianming Summoning Rune and Blue Dragon Armor flew off into the distance, falling to a youth who looked to be about 16 or 17 years old.

That youth stood atop a mountain with its peak cleaved off, and was extremely handsome. Even though he didn’t look old, his gaze seemed very steady and mature. He had the aura of an Emperor, being able to dictate the life or death of billions.

Xun Ya was a tad frustrated, and asked, “Who are you?”

“Tianming,” the youth dressed in white replied.

The Blue Dragon Armor automatically attached itself to him, and the blue glow on it was even brighter than when Wan Zhaoyi was wearing it.

The youth dressed in white murmured to himself, “It has been seven thousand years, and this has finally returned to me. What a pity for Wan Zhaoyi. If this generation did not have Chi Yao and Zhang Ruochen, or the huge calamity in Kunlun’s Field, perhaps he could become the next Emperor of Kunlun’s Field.”

The Kunlun’s Field pract.i.tioners were confused by his appearance.

“Who is this? Is he also a Kunlun’s Field Pract.i.tioner?”

“We have never seen him before, he seems like a big shot.”

Nine Heavenly Maiden gazed at that youth, and said, “He was the first one who established a central emperor in Kunlun’s Field after the ancient period, Tianming Emperor…”

Many pract.i.tioners were shocked. “Didn’t Tianming Emperor pa.s.s away seventy thousand years ago? How is he still alive?”

Nine Heavenly Maiden obviously knew some secrets, and replied, “Tianming Emperor had obtained a treasure, the Green Eyes Blue Blood Marble, and stored his body within. He turned into a Corpse Emperor, and lived his second life.”
