Chapter 285: Smashing Him to Death With Immortal Crystals (1/2)

Those in the carriage were almost crying with laughter. What kind of expression would Jiangchen Wushang wear if he knew the truth?

“I actually feel kinda bad for the prince.” Qing Han’s mood took a sudden downturn. He sighed at the Deaf Prince’s tall and well-built frame. “He has the right to know the truth. Even if it’s hard to accept, he deserves to know that he’s different.”

“Since when did you become so sentimental?” Lu Yun asked in surprise.

Qing Han shrugged and didn’t respond.

“We’ll wait until we meet Senior Wayfarer.” Lu Yun shook his head. “It’ll only trouble him if we tell him now.”

Qing Han paused. “Senior Wayfarer?”

“He survived beneath the abyss despite lacking hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch. Senior Wayfarer’s consciousness is powerful enough to sense his surroundings in place of his five senses, which he likely developed from practicing a powerful method of the mind. We’ll have the Deaf Prince cultivate under Senior Wayfarer’s guidance,” Lu Yun spoke with assurance.

Qing Han nodded. The Deaf Prince wasn’t a bad person. Although he was a member of the imperial family, he didn’t lord over others with the airs of a royal prince. Even after being scammed out of millions of crystals back on Levitating Island, he simply took it in stride and didn’t take any revenge.

……

“Screw this shit, go to hell!” Jiangchen Wushang raged at the Deaf Prince’s hectoring and snarled, “Do it!!”

Hum.

A faint beam of light pierced through the heavy clouds, sealing off the vicinity and restraining the power of the land.

“That’s the Qing Clan’s supreme-grade treasure, Spirit Light,” said the peerless immortal standing beside the Deaf Prince. “Does he really have something to do with the Nephrite Major’s Qing Clan?”

Jiangchen Wushang’s skeletal fortress ship opened its mouth and slammed into the Deaf Prince’s carriage.

“Hongxiu!” called out the Deaf Prince, furious that Jiangchen Wushang would attack him without forewarning. “Fetch me my crystal! I’ll smash him to bits!” This would be his first battle to death!

“Understood!” With a shudder, the peerless immortal took out a box from her storage treasure and carefully handed it to the Deaf Prince.

“Know your place, you lily-livered, crusty, corpulent cretin. Suffer death via immortal crystals!” The box was heavy, made clear by the way the Deaf Prince almost toppled to the ground when he took it. He then threw the box at the Jiangchen scion with all of the strength in his body.

“East Sea monster spirits really are insufferably arrogant!” Jiangchen Wushang couldn’t be more furious when he heard the prince’s declaration. Who did he think he was?! Smashing him to death with immortal crystals? What does he take me for, a penniless bastard?

However, his expression soon crumbled.

When the box opened in mid-trajectory, a great wave of immortal energy rushed out into the air, overwhelming the Great Formation of Corpse Refinement and the treasure Donglin Shaohui had unleashed. Then… an enormous mountain descended from heaven.

Thirty thousand meters tall and tens of thousands of meters in radius, it looked like an artfully sculpted crystal with wisps of white mist floating around it. Such dense immortal energy! The entire mountain was sculpted from a titanic piece of immortal crystal!

Immortal crystals were immortal qi that’d been crystalized by nature, and were heavier than normal mountainous rock. An average immortal crystal was a hexagonal crystal measuring four inches long and one inch wide, weighing roughly sixty kilograms.

Sixty kilograms wasn’t much for a cultivator or an immortal, but a mountain sculpted from a crystal of such ridiculous size weighed too much for even dao immortals to endure. More importantly, the crystal mountain contained not only immortal qi, but also endless power of the land, which enabled it to resonate with this local patch of heaven and earth!

Am I… going to be the first person in this world to literally die from wealth? Despair overtook Jiangchen Wushang’s face. As the crystal mountain bore down on him, the skeletal ship beneath his feet whined weakly and struggled. However, the crystal mountain fell with such a great momentum that it scattered the ship’s aura and locked it helplessly in place.

……

Immortals in the nearby vicinity stared at the descending crystal mountain in shock. Immortal crystals were the common currency of the world of immortals, and a necessity for cultivation. However, they felt absolutely no desire to claim the crystal for themselves. It was too large!

Even dao immortals would have trouble hauling around the crystal mountain, and whoever threw the mountain as a weapon would be someone they couldn’t afford to offend. After being refined into a treasure, the crystal mountain had been made invincible. It was near impossible to shatter it!

“Heavens... who was it? Who threw that mountain?”

“I wonder who the unlucky victim is.”

“The skeletal ship seems to belong to a member of the Corpse Refiners!”

Donglin Shaohui blanched as well. The supreme-grade treasure, Spirit Light, which he’d borrowed from the Qing Clan, had cracked and shattered the moment the crystal mountain appeared.

Color drained out of his face as all of his bones and meridians broke. White blood trickled out of his orifices as, once again, this wasn’t his true body, but another replica.
