Chapter 423: Old Ancestor Wu Liang
Translator: Thyaeria Editor: Thyaeria
Within the top of the clouds, where it’s hard for the naked-eye to see, a black figure flew across the Northern Heavens Continent at lightning speed. When it spread its wings, it appeared to have pierced through space. Therefore, it made it simply impossible to get a clear image of its entire body. One would only see a black figure shooting through space, appearing thousands of metres away in a blink of an eye.
Such a speed caused all of the ordinary Sovereigns to look on with dumbstruck shock, as it was one that would completely leave them in the dust, with no hope of ever catching up.
The black figure was, naturally, the Northern Dragon who had stormed out of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Although the Northern Heavens Continent was vast and endless, wanting to rush over to the Divine Spiritual Mountain was just a matter of a dozen minutes with his true speed.
The gigantic black figure shot through the space at lightning speed. In the next instant, the space before him shattered apart as black-coloured sea water covered the earth and hid the skies as it swept out from within. From within the shattered space, a seemingly endless gigantic black bird howled out from within.
Scree!
This unforeseen change causing the Northern Dragon to feel a slight shock. In the next instant, its cloud-covering wings flashed forwards, sending its feathers, which were akin to incomparably sharp Divine Weapons, tearing through space, smashing against the water of the black sea.
Bang! Rumble!
Ripples that blotted the skies swept out as multiple spaces shattered apart. Instantly, tornados thousands of metres wide whirled up above the nine heavens.
“Which little rascal is it!? Come the hell out for me!”
Rays of brilliance erupted around the gigantic black figure before rapidly shrinking down. Transforming back to a human form, the Northern Dragon looked towards the space before him as his cold roar resounded across the horizon.
“Haha. Long time no see, Northern Dragon. Your temper’s still as explosive as ever.” A laughing voice rang out from within the space as the multiple spatial tears rapidly collapsed, while boundless black-coloured sea water gushed out. Rapidly covering the entire region, it appeared as if there were black-coloured tidals waves present within the layers of clouds in the air.
A pillar of water condensed within the sea water, before a figure appeared within it.
The figure present was of an old man dressed in blue robes. Black water patterns were painted on the blue robes, and they sparkled with faint rays of brilliance. At this moment, the blue-robed old man was beaming as he looked towards the Northern Dragon present before him.
Upon seeing the blue-robed old man, the eyes of Northern Dragon slightly contracted, before speaking out in a deep voice, “Old Ancestor Wu Liang? Aren’t you exacting tyrannical abuse to the Immeasurable Continent? What have you run to the Northern Heavens Continent for?”
The blue-robed old man was known as the Immeasurable Old Ancestor. It’s said that this person was a Ninth Grade Sovereign and controlled a continent more vast and boundless than the Northern Heavens Continent, the Immeasurable Continent. Similarly, there were a few other smaller continents that were also under his control. Therefore, he was considered as an Overlord-level existence within the Great Thousands Worlds, someone that possessed fame and reputation.
However, there was some distance between the Immeasurable Continent and the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Why did the Immeasurable Old Ancestor appear all of a sudden?
“Haha. Long time no see, old friend. The reason I’ve come here is to reminisce the old days,” said the Immeasurable Old Ancestor with a beaming smile on his face.
Staring towards the Immeasurable Old Ancestor, a chilling glow surfaced within the eyes of the Northern Dragon as he spoke out in a slow fashion, “So, it was the Demonic Dragon Palace that has invited you. I knew it. Why would those bastards get the guts to challenge our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy all of a sudden? So it was you, old fellow, that’s pulling the strings in the dark.”
Hearing that, the Immeasurable Old Ancestor gave a smile as he replied, “I’ve long heard that there is a Divine Spiritual Mountain in the Northern Heavens Continent. This old man’s quite interest in it. Northern Dragon, after all these years in the Northern Heavens Continent, you’ve actually not maintained a complete control over it! Why not, let’s partner up and rule over this entire continent? At that time, we can cooperate and search that Divine Spiritual Mountain. I don’t believe that you wouldn’t get moved by the place where a Heavenly Sovereign has passed away in a sitting position.”
The Northern Dragon replied indifferently. “Old Ghost Immeasurable, it’s best that you scram back to your Immeasurable Continent. Don’t poke your nose in the matters of the Northern Heavens Continent.”
Upon hearing the Northern Dragon’s reply, which was gradually getting impolite, the smile present on the Immeasurable Old Ancestor’s face started to fade as he said, “Northern Dragon, aren’t you not going to give this humble old man some face at all?”
A ridiculing smile instantly surfaced on the face of the Northern Dragon as he stared at the Immeasurable Old Ancestor, while replying, “Don’t try to show your might off in front of me, old ghost. I’m afraid that you’ve found the wrong person to do that. You, humble? When the Martial Ancestor had just entered the Great Thousand World, you, old ghost, had attempted to dip your fingers into his women after finding how attractive they were. As a result, you were almost smashed to death by a single slap from him. You’ve shamelessly fled for a year, not even daring to return to your old den at that year. Do you think your shameless self has any such thing as a thin skin? If you have the guts, you can just scram off and go to find the Martial Ancestor in the “Martial Realm”. If you’re able to return alive, I’ll let you trample all over the Northern Heavens Continent as you wish!”
Those words from the Northern Dragon were as incisive as knives, instantly causing the smile present on the face of the Immeasurable Old Ancestor to slowly freeze up. Terrifying murderous aura surged up into the heavens, spreading across the myriad horizon.
“You’re looking to die, Northern Dragon!”
The Immeasurable Old Ancestor’s face turned flushed as he roared out. This matter had always been a thorn in his heart. Due to an obsession that occurred that year, he was made a gargantuan laughing stock, which had caused his fame and reputation to plummet and had become the embarrassment in his heart. All these years, he had crazily trained, leading to a drastic increase in his strength. Previously, he had even thought about exacting revenge. However, he never imagined that when his strength increased, that “Martial Ancestor” had rapidly scaled the realms in his cultivation, leading him to rise from a nobody to an Overlord within the Great Thousand World. His subordinating “Martial Realm” had numerous experts akin to clouds in the skies, with a clan that had a background as long as the Ice Spirit Clan willingly giving in to him. Even the position of their clan leader was handed to a wife of the “Martial Ancestor”. It was the combination of the Martial Ancestor and the Martial Realm that allowed the death-filled “Ice Spirit Clan” to gradually become the tyrannical force it was today.
Faced against such a frightening existence, the Immeasurable Old Ancestor had lived all those years in fear and trepidation, afraid that the “Martial Realm” would send experts to deal with him. Therefore, let’s not talk about avenging his embarrassment, he didn’t even dare to recklessly get close to that “Martial Realm”.
Bang!
With a wave of his hand, murderous aura surged from the Immeasurable Old Ancestor as black-coloured tidal waves that blotted the skies instantly swept forward. Each and every drop within those tidal waves was water from the “nether river” founded from the netherworld, nurtured with his boundless Spiritual Energy, before forming his Nether Sea. Wherever his sea howled towards, it would spread over thousands and thousands of meters, transforming anything that came into contact with it into nihility, appearing incomparably overbearing.
