Chapter 465 - Markings of The Saint Monarch (1/2)
Bloods soaked the soil and corpses lay strewn all around the battlefield. There were only four ripe Peaches of Immortality, and so these four peaches were now the top priorities of every Qi Practitioners present.
Other than the True Spirit magnates, there were also a few notable Heavenly Dharma cultivators who weren't any weaker than magnates. This included Kua Fuding, Shang Qing, and the Black Tortoise expert.
The two Black Tortoise experts weren't that strong in the first place, but merging together into a Black Tortoise, they became among the strongest existences in Returning Ruins.
Other than them, there was also a young man that was strong enough to contend with them. Although he was a celestial race from Kun Lun as well, none of them had seen him before.
It was actually the vaunted Western Mother Celestial Race that didn't have any outstanding cultivators here. Although it was true that Chi Qing was powerful, she was still a far distance away from the likes of Kua Fuding and Shang Qing.
The demons from A'thoer Realm had strong Heavenly Dharma cultivators as well. There was an incredibly strong young demon of the Sudo Demon Race who went by the name of Su Domi. Being able to exchange hundreds of strikes with Kua Fuding without showing a single impression of losing.
Other than that, there was a demon lady Fu Tixiang of the Fu Ti Saint Race, a demon lady Que Yan'er of the Long Que Saint Race and a demon from the Tian Jin Saint Race, Yu Hui. They were all strong and formidable cultivators.
Even the magnates couldn't have done anything to these young cultivators, not to mention that most even some of the magnates themselves were followers to the young cultivators.
These nine young experts had their own forces and followers. Although they had just been through a gory battle, they didn't really suffer any serious injuries.
These nine experts and the few magnates have captured the weaker Qi Practitioners and sacrificed them to open a safe path to the Immortality Peach Trees. Now, whoever dares to take a step closer to the divine trees would have to face the strikes of every other opponent on the side.
The situation had reached a stalemate, they all fought and were wounded, breathing heavily.
Then, another clash came, the Black Tortoise celestial being fortified its defense and forcibly rammed through the strikes and retrieved a Peaches of Immortality, then left immediately.
During the time when all of the focus was on the Black Tortoise celestial, Su Domi seized the chance and to retrieve another peach before leaving through the sea of demon experts.
Que Yan'er also lunged forward, morphing into a dragon-phoenix and snatching a peach. But Kua Fuding had other ideas and he took advantage of a small opening in her stance.
Bang——
Que Yan'er was struck badly and was severely wounded. Shang Qing then dashed to her front and severed her limbs, snatching the Peach of Immortality for himself.
Whereas the last Peach of Immortality was taken away by Fu Tixiang and Yu Hui together.
The other experts then swarmed out and plundered the rest of the unripe peaches, leaving the divine trees bare of any fruits.
They fought all the way to the fruits and fought all the way back out from the divine trees as well.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue walked up to the altar. He raised his head and gazed at the towering tree. It was huge, its roots buried deep in the godly soils, and its crown covered the sky.
There were sounds of bell ringing, growing louder as time passed by, and there were also the chants of worship as the gods prayed to the Immortality Peach Tree.
There were three ripe peaches dangling on the tree, appearing to be incredibly appealing especially with the sounds of worshippings reverberating in the sky.
It was such a saint and spectacular scene.
No, no, it doesn't feel right … it's not the mother tree the gods are worshipping at, but the man under the tree! Zhong Yue was startled. There was a man sitting in the lotus position underneath the tree, wearing a golden yellow robe and the figures of gods circling around the tree, they were worshipping the man!
In fact, the yellow-robed man was the figure of a god as well who had once cultivated under the divine tree. That was why the divine tree had his marks in it.
The light wheels were revolving behind him, and there were also six of them as well, but they were different from Zhong Yue's. The man's six wheels were filled with abstruse knowledge. Looking at the six wheels behind the yellow-robed man, Zhong Yue thought of the scene he saw 'a hundred thousand years ago'.
That incredibly huge Six Paths Reincarnation which covered six galaxies.
The Six Paths Reincarnation was extremely complex, countless living creatures lived and died in the galaxies. It dominated everything in it and controlled the ecosystems of the six galaxies. And with its irreproachable power, it maintained the balance of the world.
However, Zhong Yue had 'seen' the images from 100,000 years ago — it was blurry and untrue.
But on the six light wheels behind this yellow-robed god, Zhong Yue once again saw the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It was so real, so small and yet seemingly hold an infinite amount of power, as if the god's six light wheels could really be the Six Paths Reincarnation that controlled the galaxies!
Zhong Yue was no less amazed than when he 'saw' the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
Who is he…?
Zhong Yue mumbled hoarsely, "The six wheels behind him, why… why do they resemble the Six Paths Reincarnation?"
All of a sudden, a thought flashed across his mind, and the identity of the yellow-robed man then dawned on him.
