Chapter 652 - I Did Not Fail You (1/2)

Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor broke through the power of that young Qi Practitioner and the other victims collapsed and regained their consciousness quickly again.

After exchanging glances, Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor couldn't help but frowned how strong that man was; the [Sacrificial Prayers to Heaven] was undoubtedly one of the strongest techniques they have ever seen; with this skill, that young Qi Practitioner turned experts like Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor into his followers easily.

"This is the first time I've ever run into someone like that…." The Reverse Emperor murmured.

"I don't understand the true meaning of reincarnation…. I don't?" Zhong Yue sighed secretly.

He then thought,  That man said I only had a glimspe on the Six Path Wheel and he is right. I may have achieved this, but I have yet to fully comprehend everything about the Six Path Reincarnation and even my [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] did not include the secrets of the Six Path Reincarnation….

Immediately, the weight on his shoulders felt overwhelming, and he began to become even more alert and cautious.

It had been about 200,000 years since the Six Path Reincarnation was created; judging from this, the secrets of the Six Path Reincarnation should have already been discovered and there were bound to be countless arts created based on the Six Path Reincarnation!

And that art performed by that Qi Practitioner was one of these ultimate arts.

Although he had created his own Six Path Wheel, he had only invested limited time into this, and his understanding of this art was still very shallow; all he knew were only those things on the surface, and this couldn't be compared to those out there with deep understanding.

And this was how he became inferior to those people out there.

Zhong Yue came from the Ancestral Star, a place that was extremely isolated; Xin Huo had also been in slumber for years and knew nothing as well of the world's current circumstances, which made him of limited help to Zhong Yue in regards to such matters.

As such, Zhong Yue could only hold his ground against someone like the Reverse Emperor but not someone like that Qi Practitioner who had cultivated an art closely related to Six Path Reincarnation.

The strength of that Qi Practitioner was beyond Zhong Yue's expectations; in just a blink of an eye, he gained control over the consciousnesses of the other Qi Practitioners present, almost killing them all. If it weren't for Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor teaming up against him, the result would have been devastating.

With just a stomp, that Qi Practitioner left behind a huge hole on the divine bridge formed that was formed from countless divine weapons; this mere display was enough to show Zhong Yue that he was out of his league.

Besides, even after teaming up with the Reverse Emperor, he still couldn't defeat that Qi Practitioner; his foe was still able to leave the battle effortlessly!

If the [Sacrificial Prayers to Heaven] was just one of the many Six Path Reincarnation arts out there, what kind of unique traits would the other arts possess?

Zhong Yue knew nothing about this.

No matter how well one performs, there would always be others better than you. I mustn't get complacent!

Zhong Yue looked around and he figured,  But chance is hard to come by. I might be able to learn more about the Six Path Reincarnation in this experimental field and after merging it with my [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], I could probably fix all my weaknesses!

His eyes lit up with hope and suddenly, he slashed at the Reverse Emperor and shouted, "Haha! Reverse Emperor, again!"

Caught off guard, Reverse Emperor was almost killed by him. Rage surged across Reverse Emperor as he yelled back, "Damn you, human! We should team up instead of fighting each other!"

"Oh? Enlighten me on how you turn down my offer to team up back when we were about to enter this place." Zhong Yue retorted, "We teamed up now because I forced you to. However, I will personally end your miserable life when we are done here!"

"Dream on!"

The two fought ferociously; Zhong Yue swung his saber everywhere at the Reverse Emperor, who immediately absorbed the essence of the fallen ones to regenerate and prevent himself from succumbing to his injuries.

But still, Zhong Yue was a level better than him, being able to inflict sufficient damage on the Reverse Emperor prevented him from increasing his power through absorbing a huge amount of essence.

The duo pressed on their battle; they rammed straight towards the front while Qiu Jin'er followed closely behind them and guarded both Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai.

On the altar of the courtyard, Tian Shi suddenly reported, "My lord, I felt that weird movement again. It appeared only for a split second but we have briefly locked on to it."

With his attention drew towards Tian Shi and his curiously emerged, Heavenly King Shang looked around while an eye appeared behind Tian Shi, revealing the scene where that Qi Practitioner immobilized Zhong Yue and the others.

"That ancient item is probably in one of their hands," added Tian Shi, "Too bad it only exposed itself for a second or we would have been able to pinpoint its location already."

Heavenly King Shang nodded silently and without drawing any attention to himself, he said, "It's alright, things will be much easier now that we have a trail. Now, we have a rough estimation of the item's location, all we have to do is wait until the the fighting has settled down before searching through them one by one!

Silently, Tian Shi bowed at Heavenly King Shang and he proceeded to observe the battle quietly.

The old fox Heavenly King Shang has definitely found out something… What a shame, I do not have someone like the eight generals of Heavenly King Shang or they must be dreaming if they tried to steal from my Realm! Thought the Realm Lord, Fortunately I am a step quicker than you this time, Heavenly King Shang. You have your eight generals to scout for you and I have my own soul beast divine eye!

The divine eyes on the soul tokens were used to monitor these Qi Practitioners and also a security centre.

These tokens were forged by the Realm Lord himself and once a person wore it, the Realm Lord would be able to see what the wearer saw.

Hence, he poured in so much effort in order to create such a huge number of tokens for this event; he merely wanted to explore the Ancient Land of Gods Grave through these eyes!
