Chapter 460: Caught In The Act? (1/2)

Great Saint Starkiller pretended very expertly. When he raised his head, the fury in his eyes already changed into devoted reverence.

Then, she lectured Great Saint Starkiller patiently and sympathetically.

Devil Ancestor Dark Nether suddenly interrupted them.

“What is the situation unfolding outside?”

“??” The confused Ming Die and the other three law protectors looked at each other. Very quickly, one of the law protectors walked out, and then he very quickly returned.

“Reporting to Devil Ancestor. There are two Demon Beasts, the Eagle Carp and Emperor Eight. Devil Star City’s cultivators are already capturing them.

“Truly strange. How can two types of different Demon Beasts be drawn over at this time of year.” An extremely elderly man of the four great law protectors spoke, his voice very hoarse, somewhat with like a flickering candle in the wind.

“They are probably lost.” A large man’s voice was rough. Several Demon Beasts were not enough for him to care about.

The Black Turtle Territory’s sea area was vast, and the Demon Beasts in the depths were numerous. Sometimes, it a countertide occurred, some Demon Beasts would be drawn over, or perhaps if there was a sort of Spirit Grass, like the Ascending Dragon Fruit that the Ascending Dragon City’s palace had planted, that could make Demon Beasts’ cultivation increase by several hundred years, then many high rank Demon Beasts would be enticed. This was not odd at all.

“Ming Die, go check Guan Ying very quickly. It is possible this is a trap.” Devil Ancestor Dark Nether said in a low voice.

Ming Die was taken aback. She immediately understood the Devil Ancestor’s meaning.

Great Saint Starkiller’s expression also changed. He urgently wanted to go see Guan Ying, however, he forcibly suppressed this urge. Ming Die watched Great Saint Starkiller’s pious reverence, her eyes holding a slight sneer – truly an obedient dog, what a pity he still needs chiding.

Ming Die’s body turned into butterflies, scattering.

“Heavenly Commandment1, Elder Dried Bone,2 you two go assist Ming Die.” Devil Ancestor Dark Nether commanded.

A scholarly youth of fair complexion slightly nodded his head. Without saying a word, he disappeared into empty space. That spindly as dried firewood old man’s eyes burned with fire. His figure also instantly vanished.

Great Saint Starkiller did not see their body techniques clearly, and his heart was shocked.

This was a Supervoid Cultivator. He had thought that his own Supercluster Peak and Supervoid were only a step apart. Now, it appeared that one step was the difference between Heaven and Earth.

“Starkiller, with Ming Die, Heavenly Commandment and Elder Dried Bone, you need not worry about GUan YIng.” Devil Ancestor Dark Nether calmly said.

“Disciple does not dare.” Great Saint Starkiller answered very sincerely although an impulse to leave had just flashed through his heart.

This Taboo Hall was left with only three people, the final seemed to be a large man that was like a boulder, known as Merciless Stone Devil.3

“Step forward.”

Devil Ancestor Dark Nether continued to speak.

Great Saint Starkiller was in fear and trepidation. A dim light appeared on the platform, as if pulling apart the screen, partitioning a separate world. Great Saint Starkiller knew that there were Nine Firmaments Devil Star Chains and Evil Smiting Arrays strewn about. He walked past several platforms. There was still a distance of about a hundred paces from Devil Ancestor Dark Nether. The light faded, and Great Saint Starkiller was unable to take another step forward. Great Saint Starkiller felt this was strange, and upon closer inspection, his surroundings pervaded with a sort of odd pressure. Faint golden light glinted from time to time. This pressure really did not come from the difference in a Supervoid Cultivator’s intimidating Divine Intent, rather, a sort of very pure and direct, clearly visible and substantive power.

Great Saint Starkiller immediately felt that under this formless power, he seemed to have been restricted. The Prehistoric Spirit Treasure on his person was silent, making Great Saint Starkiller feel even more shocked.

“This is the Five Spirits Magic Metal Scroll Heavenly Book’s great power, ‘Earthly Extreme Metal Light First Magnetism,’4 that This One has cultivated. There is no need for you to be surprised.”

“Devil Ancestor is unsurpassed for all time.” Great Saint Starkiller kissed up to him.

“There is no need for your pleasant words. This One has raised you for the purpose of comprehending the path after Transforming Star of Annihilation.” Devil Ancestor Dark Nether said.

Great Saint Starkiller’s heart was shaken. This meant that Devil Ancestor Dark Nether truly was breaking through Supervoid level and entering Transforming Star of Annihilation, and he was even possibly at the bottleneck to Transforming Star of Annihilation. “Liangshan’s countless cultivators were all unable to break through to Transforming Star of Annihilation. This One does not have much time left. The only possibility to break through to Transforming Star of Annihilation is solely to use the wish of Maiden Mountain’s Star Duels…” Pausing, Devil Ancestor Dark Nether apparently wanted Great Saint Starkiller to digest what he said. “You must know the significance this has for This One?”

“Disciple has shamed Devil Ancestor’s kindness. Disciple is truly guilty and deserves ten thousand deaths.” Great Saint Starkiller showed true fear this time.

“Three Heavenly Books. This One shall give you another chance.” A voice rose from the among the chains behind the screen. A point of golden light flew out from the screen. It was a small hill. “This Golden Magnet Divine Peak is a magic weapon This One has meticulously refined. It contains the power of the Extreme Earthly Metal Light First Magnetism within. This One bestows this upon you to confront the Purple Thunder Monster’s Evil Suppressing Gem Bamboo Swords.”

“Many thanks to Devil Ancestor.” Great Saint Starkiller was delighted. Taking out the Life-cast powers and magic weapons of Transforming Star of Annihilation cultivators, it was obvious that Devil Ancestor Dark Nether was staking everything on him.

“This ancestor now confers to you the chant. Remember it well…At the same time, This One shall teach you the Metal Scroll’s powers. Your learning is superficial. In the future Star Duels, there will also be benefits.”

“Disciple shall tread through water and fire to obtain the Heavenly Book for Devil Ancestor.”

“En.”

“Sit straight for now, listen to This Ancestor’s chant.”

“As you command.”

Great Saint Starkiller sat cross-legged, settling in. In his mind, a golden light immediately radiated. His inherent last bit of concern for Guan Ying vanished like smoke under this power and chant.

…

Ming Die, Heavenly Commandment, and Elder Dried Bones rushed for the Huaqing Pool Palace that Guan Ying was at, their figures seemingly flying.

“Ming Die, you appear to still dislike Great Saint Starkiller.” Usually unable to leave Devil Ancestor, Elder Dried Bone stated his thoughts.

Ming Die did not cover her disdain at all, “Great Saint Starkiller is no more than a stinking brat who walked upon unexpected success. The very year he joined the palace, he was a cripple. As if his fortune today was not through relying on our patronage. This brat is now increasingly rebellious, how can he conceal that tiny thought from me.”

“Even so, Devil Ancestor still has use for him. His cultivation is at the peak of Supercluster, truly admirable.”

“Hmph. I just feel angry about this.”

So it was envy.
