Chapter 262 - Final Intentions Revealed (1/2)
The explosion was a double explosion. The first one was the explosion created by the destruction of the secret realm, and the second one was from the deepest part of the secret realm. While the first explosion was not that horrible, the second one was the terrible one.
The destruction of the secret realm created an implosion, just like how something would be sucked into a black hole, thus creating a less impactful shockwave.
But the second explosion was created as the result of the power left behind by Kui Zheng after his death, and was triggered by the first explosion!
This explosion was whatever strength was left behind by Kui Zheng!
Obviously, this celestial race Qi Practitioner held extreme hatred towards Swords Gate after he was imprisoned by them. As such, he sealed his strength into his secret realm, making it easy to enter his secret realm, but hard to get out. The only way out was to destroy the secret realm.
And if someone destroyed his secret realm, his secret realm would start to crumble, triggering the seals left behind by him which would then detonate his power, causing a second explosion that would kill the people of Swords Gate responsible forcleaning up the copper palaces!
"Shui Qingyan" was, after all, a demon god that had high sensitivity. This allowed her to notice the imminent explosions and quickly escape from the secret realm as soon as the way out appeared.
Zhong Yue too, acted quickly as he immediately grabbed the cloak left behind by Kui Zheng and covered him and Qiu Jin'er underneath it.
The two then hid under the leather as they felt horrendous noises outside that even caused the copper palace to shake vigorously. The palace seemed like it was going to topple soon!
The power of the explosions could easily be seen just by looking at the trembling copper palace full of seals. But the cloak was something very unique as well, for nothing could be felt by Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er while they hid underneath it.
This cloak was the skin of Kui Zheng. His flesh had faded, but his skin and bones were left behind, which remained rock steady even under such crazy explosions!
Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were in extreme shock. The outside of the leather was just like an apocalypse. As they hid under the leather, they held each other's hands tightly and they could felt each other's heartbeats and breathing clearly.
After quite some time, the explosions slowly stopped. Just when Qiu Jin'er was about to say something, another explosion came in, then a fourth one, fifth one, each stronger and more violent than before!
The two then continued hiding under the cowhide and dared not move even an inch while they waited for the explosions to stop quietly.
Zhong Yue put up a serious expression while he thought in his heart, The other secret realms of Kui Zheng have exploded!
The destruction of Kui Zheng's Wan Xian Secret Realm first affected the power he left behind in that secret realm, and that power then triggered the destruction of the other secret realms and the energy he had sealed in them.
This Kui Zheng was a cunning and ruthless one. He was afraid that he could not wipe out the people of Swords Gate that entered this copper palace, so he left behind more than just one killing move in order to guarantee the death of the Swords Gate Qi Practitioners!
And those who were able to escape from the continuous five explosions would only be people of the same level as Kui Zheng, while the others would be evaporated in the explosions without a doubt!
Even those on the same level as him were bound to suffer heavy injuries in an all-out attack left behind in Kui Zheng's secret realms. Without a doubt, he definitely did not want to leave anything behind that could potentially benefit Swords Gate. Thus, he decided to blow up his secret realms along with the people of Swords Gate in order to inflict damage to Swords Gate!
What a shame, the huge amount of life energy and life force hidden in these secret realms are gone now. That was too close just now, no wonder those guys before me dared not clean up these copper palaces!
Zhong Yue shivered again even as he felt remorse over the destruction of the secret realms.
Initially, he wanted to retrieve the secret realms and forge them into his soul weapons while he absorbed the life force and life energy in them to cultivate his body into an even stronger state. But with destruction of the secret realms, his plans were entirely ruined.
Fortunately for him, he had managed to absorb a portion of the life force and life energy in the Wan Xiang Secret Realm, which could sustain him for quite some time.
However, he still regretted the destruction of the five secret realms.
Something is not right! There are five secret realms but only four of them exploded….
Zhong Yue waited for the final secret realm to explode, but nothing happened after quite some time. He then felt confused as to why the final secret realm did not explode.
How come the final one did not explode?
Just when he thought of this, Qiu Jin'er lying beside him said embarrassingly, "Senior martial brother…."
The pretty girl then awkwardly took out a shining wheel from her own Yuan Shen secret realm as she said carefully, "I retrieved one of the secret realms just now…."
Zhong Yue was stunned for a moment, before shivering in excitement. This secret realm had Kui Zheng's power sealed inside as well! The secret realm was with Qiu Jin'er, who was underneath the leather with him, if the secret realm had exploded at that time…
"As long as this secret realm is not destroyed, then everything will be fine. But this is way too dangerous..."
Zhong Yue continued to tremble, and Qiu Jin'er lowered her head as if she had done something awfully bad as she said, "Senior martial brother, should I throw it away then…?"
"Nope." Zhong Yue breathed in deeply as he stared at the shining wheel in Qiu Jin'er's hand. He said, "There's no need for that. Kui Zheng's power is sealed in that secret realm and as long as it is fine, nothing will happen. You may not cultivate it into a soul weapon, but you could keep it as a secret trump card to be used at dangerous times. All you have to do is throw it out and detonate it, which could easily take out huge amount of enemies by surprise! By the way, which secret realm is this?"
