Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1160: Knife Thrown, Life Taken

Without the Nine Hole Life Essence Stone, Zong Shou was only able to rely on pills. His body was still covered in many holes.

The injuries on his body weren’t healed at all. Zong Shou spent most of his effort fighting against Li Biexue’s remnant soul fragments and didn’t have time to worry about anything else.

This was why there were still numerous sharp metal energies hidden in his body. They would explode out occasionally resulting in injuries to his body.

Luckily, most of his broken meridians were reconnected and they were all linked up and unobstructed.

He wouldn’t be affected much by it when using spells or using the sword.

However, without a perfect body to protect them, the meridians were all really weak. With just a bit of impact, they might have collapsed once more.

Zong Shou didn’t worry much about the situation in his body. After he woke up, he looked straight at Su Xiaoxiao.

Luckily, the situation he feared the most still hadn’t happened. Her body was still ice cold and even with the help of the nine treasures and the Nine Hole Life Essence Stone, she didn’t show any signs of getting better.

However, her heart was beating in a stable manner, and although she didn’t get better, it wasn’t that bad.

Chuxue was kneeling to the side, fully focused. She was taking care of Su Xiaoxiao with all of her attention.

When she noticed that Zong Shou had woken up, she turned around her head in surprise, “Young Master, you are awake?”

She said with worry in her eyes, “These revival artifacts probably won’t be able to last for long, what should we do...”

Zong Shou kept silent and knew that what Chuxue meant was not that the treasures didn’t have enough powers but that the spiritual energy here wasn’t enough to maintain what they needed.

Although this 30-foot space was an independent region, spiritual energy couldn’t be created out of nothing. After it was used up, it would be hard to replenish.

“Xiaoxiao’s soul seems to have recovered a little.”

Chuxue paused for a moment and continued after hesitating a little, “However, it seems like she is in pain. She seemed to be restricted by some sort of seal.”

Zong Shou was stunned. He looked closely, and as expected, her brow was furrowed, like she was going against something.

He reached his spiritual sense into the depths of her soul.

After killing herself, her soul started to fall apart. It was all because of the nine treasures which was why it didn’t occur. At this moment, he was easily able to reach them due to those dark restrictions that he had left inside.

In just an instant, he was able to scout out the entire situation.

“Seven Emotion Recoil, Demon Recoil Soul Seal!”

The former was caused after the technique was released, recoil from the seven emotions such that she fell into a trance.

Although it was problematic and although she might never be able to cultivate again, it wasn’t a problem.

The other one was a restriction and it was the most vicious soul restriction technique of the Demon Path.

It was specifically used on disciples that did wrong, to punish them.

Once they tried to betray the Demon Path, the seal would activate. The soul would be like it was in a furnace, and all sorts of heart demons would attack it. One would suffer from all the pain in the world.

Even if one wanted to die one couldn’t. Unless one died, one wouldn’t be able to break free from it.

Su Xiaoxiao’s soul showed signs of awakening but she was also going to enter a place worse than hell!

Both stacking together was something that someone with a slightly weaker mind wouldn’t be able to withstand. She would definitely go crazy!

To her, she would probably rather die than live like this!

It made it dozens of times harder for her to regenerate! Even if her injuries became better, due to the soul restriction, she would go mad!

Li Biexue! Chi Hongyi! Demon Lotus!

Li Biexue was definitely the person who set the restriction. However, only people closeby could activate it!

At that time, Su Xiaoxiao had killed herself and Li Biexue couldn’t interfere. Only Chi Hongyi and Demon Lotus could do that.

Zong Shou’s eyes opened up in rage once more, and a blood-red color appeared within. The green veins on his neck popped out, making him look really vicious. His eyes looked like they could swallow people up. He was really terrifying.

The white flames burned. Within this 30-foot space, under the burn of the World Burning Flame, it started to shake.

Zong Shou reached out and summoned the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle. He then placed Su Xiaoxiao’s body carefully onto the back of the shell. The turtle understood and instantly formed a layer of thick Xuan Ice.

It froze Su Xiaoxiao along with the nine treasures and a tray that Zong Shou crafted within.

Zong Shou once again held the Imperial Destruction Records in his hands.

This region was maintained by the Imperial Calamity Facing Records. The biggest use wasn’t to avoid calamity but to face tribulation.

Once a tribulation descended, one could open up this independent world and easily face the tribulation.

Outside of the 30-foot was total darkness. Even Zong Shou’s World Burning Blood Eyes couldn’t shine through it.

However, when Zong Shou’s hand touched the records, he started to sense the outside situation.

He was stunned. He couldn’t see it but he could use the records to sense it.

At this moment, there were 15 Saint Realm auras outside.

There were 40 below Saint Realm. They were all strong and could all escape from the Qin Emperor Tomb by themselves.

After all, if one was weak it would be useless for them to come and they would only be asking to die.

“15 Saint Realms? Hehe!”

Zong Shou laughed coldly. Who knew who planned it, to gather so many Saint Realm? They probably gathered all of his enemies.

The goal was definitely to kill him here at such a good time.

However, that was good to...

If Xiaoxiao died, how could there be no one to die alongside her?

With a thought, he stopped the injection of spiritual sense and True Qi. The records were unable to maintain the world once more.

The 30 feet of space that was forcefully broken away was connected to the original world once more.

Chuxue’s expression changed, “Young Master, your injuries haven’t healed yet. I think we should wait for Master to rush over! The few Saint Venerables also know about the situation.”

She didn’t know the exact situation outside but she was able to guess something. Li Biexue and the others spent so much effort and took such a risk, they definitely weren’t going to give up like that.

If the wings were really as Su Xiaoxiao said, to be so powerful, then all the more they wouldn’t.

Zong Shou shook his head and said flatly, “The artifact spirit has been unsealed!”

Chuxue was stunned and speechless. Just now, she noticed that Zong Shou’s aura had changed but she didn’t pay much attention to it.

So, it was because the artifact spirit had awakened?

Didn’t they say that only an End Realm like Li Biexue could unseal it?

Since it had woken up. Then... If used on the sword, it could become godlike. If used on spells, it could become Supreme!

1,000 years ago, Lu Wushuang used this item to sweep the world. No one was his match under the halberd.

Such a thought flashed across her mind but she had no more time to think. The barrier disappeared and the worlds were connected once more.

The dozens of people appeared in front of her eyes.

Her expression changed. Just Saint Realms alone, there were at least 10.

Liao King’s laughter spread forth from the barrier that hadn’t totally disappeared.

“As expected, it couldn’t last anymore! Great Gan Majesty, Yinhan I have waited for a long time here. I really want to know how you are going to escape...”

Demon Lotus stood behind them, pretty much hidden in a corner to avoid Zong Shou’s gaze.

At this moment, she calmly shook her head, “Old Yun’s technique is really amazing, his injuries haven’t healed and his meridians are broken. Even if he has a good God Treasure or ability he won’t be able to last for long.”

While she spoke, many spells and restrictions spread out and locked down the area.

Four green-robed Taoists stood above.

Zong Shou recognized one of them; he had met him several times. The first was at Yuanlian World.

He relied on his friends to block which was how he was able to escape from the sword of the Source Ocean Demon Slaying Small Cycle of Heaven Formation. He was called Cheng Xing.

Although he was initial Saint Realm, he was strong. At this moment, he looked over with hateful eyes.

The other three had similar gazes.

There were close to a million Taoist Faction disciples who had died under his hands.

Zong Shou was too lazy to bother as he flicked his sleeves. Those 72 Silver Ant Soldier Ants formed up behind him.

Although the formation power buff wasn’t that high, it was better than nothing.

However, the barrier still didn’t retreat. The Saint Realm cultivator called Old Yun smiled, “Stop trying to suck up to me. He is Lin Xuanshuang’s disciple and has the legacy of the Source Life Breathing Technique. Although my ability is Grade Ten, it can’t kill him. The one who injured him was Wushang Yuan Demon...”

“No matter what! You deserve some credit!”

The person who replied was from the Confucian Faction. He was slightly serious and when he spoke it sounded like he was gritting his teeth.

“This violent ruler deserves to die here and be buried along with the Qin Emperor!”

When Hanqing heard this, he laughed coldly. Although he didn’t say anything, his smile was one with mocking intent.

However, Zong Shou’s eyes were dark and cold, like he wanted to swallow them whole.

“Cut the crap!”

Chi Hongyi frowned. When the barrier disappeared his expression became serious and a bright light shot in his eyes.

“Kill him!”

Yinhan smiled and nodded, “Yes! We only have one chance, so let’s work together...”

A sudden blade light appeared from Zong Shou’s fingertips. It was that Zimu Fallen Leaf Flying Knife. However, the blade body had a pair of silver-white wings on it.

The blade flashed and sped in the air. 30 feet were covered in the blink of an eye.

Before anyone could react, the blade light pierced through the Yinhan’s brow.

Six God Defensive Knife, Life ends when the blade comes out!

“You are the first to die for Xiaoxiao!”

A thread of fresh blood seeped out of his brow, his eyes filled with shock and terror.
