Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 2009: Shattering Morality Stele

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

After leaving Xuanyuan Hill, Zhang Tie arrived at the Gobbling Province soon. He directly came to the place where the Far-Ancient Morality Stele was located, VastUniverse Mountain in Morality Prefecture.

It was the holy land of Gobbling Party. Many backbones of the Gobbling Party always came here and executed the rite “Touch the Stele”. At this moment, the Far-Ancient Morality Stele had been tinged with red by the glow of the setting sun.

Zhang Tie directly stood on the top of the over 210-m high Far-Ancient Morality Stele as he observed this huge black stele which became the source of the nationwide catastrophe in his “dream”.

He saw at least 200 backbones executing the rite “Touching the Stele”. However, those people had not found that one person was on the top of the stele for the time being.

However, only after a few seconds later, Zhang Tie had heard someone growl.

“Audacious, who are you? How dare you profane the holy thing!”

At this moment, an exasperated voice drifted from a close distance. Zhang Tie realized that he had been discovered by a knight of the Gobbling Party who was responsible for the safety here without even raising his head.

It was an earth knight. When he was 1,000 m away, he had already shouted as he slashed towards Zhang Tie’s head with a brilliant long sword which was a silver secret item without any mercy. He wanted to kill Zhang Tie and shatter him into shreds.

In his “dream”, Meng Shidao offered sacrifice to the Morality Stele with the lives of millions of backbones of the Gobbling Party. However, in the eyes of these backbones of the Gobbling Party, the Far-Ancient Morality Stele under Zhang Tie’s foot was still a holy thing that could never be profaned.

After hearing that knight’s voice, those followers of the Gobbling Party who were executing the rite “Touching the Stele” finally noticed that someone was standing on the top of the Far-Ancient Morality Stele. Therefore, they all looked up and swore at Zhang Tie.

When that earth knight’s sword qi approached 100 m away from Zhang Tie, it had disappeared silently.

Before touching Zhang Tie’s protective battle qi, the sword qi had disappeared as if it was devoured by an invisible huge mouth.

There appeared to be an unsurmountable invisible obstacle in the space around Zhang Tie.

This situation had been completely out of that earth knight’s understanding. He didn’t know why his sword qi suddenly disappeared when it approached Zhang Tie. That earth knight could barely accept the fact as he slashed towards Zhang Tie with his sword again. The second slash was more powerful...

...

Zhang Tie lowered his head and watched the Far-Ancient Morality Stele under his foot. His great spiritual energy had already penetrated into the stele. He was observing and learning the structure of the Far-Ancient Morality Stele, ignoring all the attacks and the curses of those people downside there.

According to the legend, the raw material of Far-Ancient Morality Stele violated the ionization rule of all the materials. The stele was said to be able to defend the attack from any element, energy and material. The atoms and porous structure of the material of that stele were fixed in any state. Therefore, in many people’s eyes, Far-Ancient Morality Stele was eternal and could never be destroyed. Any strike would be ineffective to it. Even time couldn’t leave any trace on its surface.

Previously Zhang Tie also believed in it; however, at this moment, this legend was nonsense for Zhang Tie.

On his level, Zhang Tie understood that nothing in the world was eternal. Anything would perish in the end. It was one of the universal laws. Nobody or nothing was an exception. Even the universe itself was destined to break up one day since it came into being in the infinite time and space.

As for ordinary forces, Far-Ancient Morality Stele was eternal.

Through Zhang Tie’s observation, he apparently felt two powerful forces of universal laws inside the Far-Ancient Morality Stele. One force was related to time; the other was related to space. The first one froze the raw material of the Far-Ancient Morality Stele in the macro world; therefore, time didn’t exist for the Far-Ancient Morality Stele. As long as Zhang Tie could break the force of the universal law of time, he would break the stele.

The force of the universal law of space formed an entrance leading to another space inside the stele which had not been opened yet. The two forces of universal laws were bond with each other in a powerful secret method. The secret method was releasing a qi which could devour all the powerful, negative energies. When Zhang Tie observed the Far-Ancient Morality Stele, he found that the powerful secret method inside the Far-Ancient Morality Stele was still absorbing the negative energy from the realm of thoughts.

A golden light was fixed on the convergence of the two spaces by the two forces of universal laws inside the Far-Ancient Morality Stele.

In his “dream”, when Zhang Tie clashed against the Far-Ancient Morality Stele, he found something wrong with the space tunnel inside the Far-Ancient Morality Stele. A golden light appeared to be fixed by the stele. Now, he felt the existence of that golden light, which was similar to that of Xuanyuan Chang Ying. It was the qi of Xuanyuan God Sutra.

All these couldn’t be seen by lotus-flower eyes or sensed by pure spiritual energy. If one wanted to sense everything inside the Far-Ancient Morality Stele, he had to form at least two immortal chakras.

Perhaps this explained why Meng Shidao could expose Far-Ancient Morality Stele to the public without any concern.

The movement of material and relative displacement variation between two materials led to time. All the movement of materials was caused by force. With an extreme force, one could touch the secret of the universal law of time.

According to the Hua legend, when the universe came into being, the clean energies rose and became the sky; the dirty energy declined and formed the earth. It actually referred to the evolution of energies of different frequencies in the space and materials. The clean energies were high-frequency energies, which represented an extremely divergent state of energies; the dirty energies represented the extremely convergent state of energies.

According to Zhang Tie’s prediction, the ultimate direction of Infinite King Roc Sutra and Xuanyuan God Sutra might both lead to the pursuit of force. The ultimate purpose of Infinite King Roc Sutra might be the extreme divergence of force, with which one could be unrivaled across the universe. By contrast, the ultimate purpose of Xuanyuan God Sutra might be the extreme convergence of force, with which one could create everything in the universe based on the four elements. In the end, both sutras could help people completely realize and master the universal laws of force.

Those above explained why one with extreme force could almost approach the truth. It was also Zhang Tie’s wholly new realization about force after forming three immortal chakras.

The forces of universal laws in the Far-Ancient Morality Stele could only be broken by force of universal law.

That knight of Gobbling Party was still attacking Zhang Tie. In an instant, he had slashed towards Zhang Tie with his sword for the fourth time. Meanwhile, those backbones of Gobbling Party were still jumping and swearing at Zhang Tie at the foot of the stele.

Standing on the top of the stele, Zhang Tie ignored all these. After closing his eyes for two seconds, he opened his eyes and punched at the stele.

Meanwhile, Zhang Tie inserted half arm into the Far-Ancient Morality Stele.

As a result, the entire stele rocked once while releasing a terrifying, invisible impact wave immediately. In an instant, all the backbones at the foot of the stele and that earth knight who was attacking Zhang Tie became basic particles and dispersed.

All the mountains and buildings within 14 miles turned into powder at once.

Additionally, the ground across Morality Prefecture of Gobbling Province rocked once like suffering an earthquake.

Closely after that, a golden crack started to radiate from the place where Zhang Tie inserted his arm in. In a wink, the crack had started to expand as more cracks appeared over the Far-Ancient Morality Stele.

Bang!

After a short silence, the Far-Ancient Morality Stele which was taken as the holy thing by the Gobbling Party was shattered by Zhang Tie with one punch. From then on, there was no Far-Ancient Morality Stele in the world anymore.

At the same time, that golden light flew out of the stele and became a majestic middle-aged man in front of Zhang Tie...
