327 Destruction of a Primordial Soul (1/2)
Hearing the Xuesha Sect Leader, Wang Jin, claim that they had already annihilated the Qianqiu Sect, the Shenguang Sect and the Tianwu Sect, the elders and disciples of the Donghuang Sect were all in a state of disbelief.
Soon, the gazes of everybody present landed on the man who stood in front of the Xuesha Sect people.
The man had a stocky build, and his long, flowing gray hair was let down behind his back. As he floated in the air, his gray robe billowed in the wind, giving one the impression that he was an other-worldly being looking down on all of them.
Just as Wang Jin, the Xuesha Sect Leader, was gleefully looking at changed expressions on the Donghuang Sect people's faces, Zhou Donghuang finally said calmly, ”Rule over the entire Ziyun planet?
Since when did the Xuesha Sect have such power?”
Many of those from the Donghuang Sect silently heaved a sigh of relief at Zhou Donghuang's simple question, and they looked at him with expectation.
”We must trust our Sect Leader!”
”So what if the Xuesha Sect destroyed the Qianqiu Sect, the Shenguang Sect and the Tianwu Sect with the help of an outsider? We are the Donghuang Sect, nothing that the Qianqiu Sect, the Shenguang Sect or the Tianwu can compare with!”
”Exactly! Back then, if not for the fact that our Sect Leader had no intention of claiming the entire Ziyun planet, our Donghuang Sect would have dominated the other four sects, including the Xuesha Sect.”
...
Many of those from the Donghuang Sect had blind faith in their leader, Zhou Donghuang.
Of course, there were some among the Donghuang Sect who were more realistic and thought, ”Since the Xuesha Sect dares to come here, they must have faith in the abilities of this man.”
”How powerful is this man? The Xuesha Sect really thinks that with his help, they can wipe out our Donghuang Sect.”
”Will our Sect Leader be his match?”
...
Some of those from the Donghuang Sect were nervous as they considered the reality of the situation.
”Zhou Donghuang!”
Wang Jin, the Xuesha Sect Leader, looked at Zhou Donghuang and laughed coldly. He then turned to the man in gray who was standing with his back facing him. ”Senior Ke You has already issued you a challenge, and you have yet to accept it.
”Don't waste time talking about meaningless things... if you do not accept the challenge, then make it clear.
”Of course, even if you do not accept the challenge, you are destined to die by the hands of Senior Ke You today!”
Wang Jin praised the man in the gray robe, Senior Ke You, to the skies.
”Him?”
Then, Zhou Donghuang finally looked at Wang Jin. His lips curled into a malicious smile as he asked, ”Your name is Ke You? You were the one who killed the two golden-crowned eagles of our Donghuang Sect?”
”Correct,” Ke You looked up proudly and said. ”Come to think of it, I ought to thank the two golden-crowned eagles of your Donghuang Sect. It was only because they provided me with enough essence that I was able to reach the Primordial Soul stage!”
As the words left his mouth, a huge Primordial Soul Power in his form appeared from Ke You's body. It looked like a massive mountain peak, so huge that it towered over everything else.
Within this Primordial Soul Power that was as massive as a mountain, Ke You stood in its midst, and with a wave of his hand, the Primordial Soul Power mirrored his actions.
As the Primordial Soul Power of Ke You appeared, the disciples and elders of the Donghuang Sect all looked on in horror as their hearts sank.
”Primordial Soul... he is a Primordial Soul adept!”
”Primordial Soul adepts are even more powerful than Dharma adepts. They can live for a thousand years, and the sheer power that they possess is nothing that any Dharma adept can compare to!”
”Our Ziyun planet has never produced any Primordial Soul adepts before.”
”Accordingly, based on the training environment and resources of our Ziyun planet, it is simply impossible to produce any Primordial Soul adept... it would be difficult to even produce a Dharma adept.”
”Even if our Sect Leader has already reached the Dharma stage, would he be a match for this Primordial Soul adept?”
...
In that instant, those of the Donghuang Sect who were realistic now looked on with despair.
As for those who had originally trusted Zhou Donghuang wholeheartedly, their faith also wavered at this point.
Although their Donghuang Sect Leader, Zhou Donghuang, was an extraordinary presence in the Ziyun planet, the environment and resources of the Ziyun planet still limited his growth no matter how extraordinarily talented he was.
In the past, they heard that their Sect Leader had left the Ziyun planet, but it was only now that they found out that their Sect Leader had not left and was still on Ziyun planet.
In that case, with the limited resources and environment of the Ziyun planet, even after five years, how much could their Sect Leader have improved?”
”How could he possibly be a Primordial Soul adept... the Ziyun planet could never produce a Primordial Soul adept!” cried a Donghuang Sect elder in shock.
Wang Jin, the Xuesha Sect Leader, heard the Donghuang Sect elder and could not help but laugh as he said, ”The Ziyun planet definitely cannot produce a Primordial Soul adept. Senior Ke You is not from this planet.
”He is from beyond this planet and a distinguished guest of our Xuesha Sect... this time, after helping our Xuesha Sect to claim the entire Ziyun planet, he will leave.
”Although, with his power, Senior Ke You can easily dominate over the entire Ziyun planet on his own... but a planet as backward and as poor as Ziyun does not attract his fancy at all.”
As he spoke, Wang Jin's smile grew even more radiant.
Hearing the words of Wang Jin, the expressions of everybody from the Donghuang Sect turned to despair...
From outside of this planet.
A Primordial Soul adept was now helping the Xuesha Sect destroy their Donghuang Sect.
What could the Donghuang Sect do about this?
