Chapter 142.Chapter 142 – The Invisible Killing!
Chapter 142 – Invisible Tussle!
The male protagonist’s heart instantly pulled down his goodwill towards the Immortal Cultivation World’s great sects to the extreme.
Originally, he thought that these clans were heroes who resisted the oppression of the Great Xia Zhao Clan.
Now it seemed that they were a bunch of nasty people who were harming others and benefiting themselves!
“They all deserve to die!” The male lord’s face was blue.
The Sage of Time assumed that the male lord was talking about the Ancient One Clan and nodded approvingly.
“He does deserve to die!”
“How many trials and tribulations have we gone through, and how much manpower have we expended before we managed to accumulate what we have today!”
“Those damned things even tried to take away all that we have, and compared us high and mighty Dharma Gods to those mudbloods, it’s simply a heinous crime!”
Mud legs?
The hero’s fists hardened!
Even though he wasn’t considered a mud legger, that just stung his ears!
“What do you want to do?” The male lead asked.
The Sage of Time: “Although you appeared earlier, since you’re here, it means that the Ancient One Clan has already appeared. Next, you should always be vigilant, and once you discover any trace of the Ancient One Clan, you should immediately light the wolf smoke beacon and summon the sages of all the face worlds to come and exterminate the enemy!”
The male lord was noncommittal and asked, “What about you? What are you going to do?”
Sage of Time: “My Temple of Time can only be opened once, once the temple is opened, this wisp of my divine consciousness will dissipate.”
“Dissipate?” The male lead’s eyebrows twitched, “Why don’t you return to your world?”
Sage of Time: “I’ve been in this Temple of Time for more than a hundred thousand years, my original body probably ascended to the Spirit World a long time ago, and without the guidance of my original body, I can’t return. And even if I am able to return, I don’t intend to go back, inter-dimensional transmissions consume a great deal of resources, and it’s more than worth it to lose for the sake of a wisp of divine soul.”
The male lead nodded, “Understood!”
After saying that, he asked, “Didn’t you say you prepared something for me before, what is it?”
As the male lead’s words fell, the seven-colored lotus in front of him trembled slightly, and the seven-colored light slowly drifted away, leaving behind a lotus with a silver-white body that shimmered with a metallic luster.
Sage of Time: “This is a small fragment of time that I stole back then from peering into the long river of time. It was the blessing of this fragment of time that allowed this wisp of my divine soul to persist until you came! Now, this Flower of Time is yours.”
The male lead’s eyes lit up and he reached out to pluck the flower of time.
The Sage of Time reminded, “The long river of time rolls onward and is immense. The Flower of Time can only protect you for ten breaths of time, and you must return after ten breaths, or else you’ll be swept into the long river of time, and from then on, you’ll be sunk and unable to extricate yourself!”
Hearing this, the male lead paused for a moment, then grabbed at the Flower of Time.
Boom!
Zhao Yi slapped the lizard warrior who had died an unknown number of times in front of him out.
Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and violently turned around to look towards the palace gates.
“What’s wrong?”
Miaoyin Makoto asked suspiciously as he gripped the Shadow Bearing Sword and stared vigilantly at the skeletal warriors in the distance.
Zhao Yi frowned with a grave expression, “Someone was spying on me in the dark just now!”
Myriad Sound Realist’s face changed, and he hurriedly looked around, and after half a second, he said doubtfully, “There’s only the two of us here, there’s no one else, are you sensing the wrong thing?”
Zhao Yi shook his head and said with certainty, “No! It’s definitely not wrong! Someone must have been spying on me in the dark just now!”
The Myriad Sound Realist was just about to say something when the skeleton warriors in the distance finished reorganizing again.
She was annoyed, “Where the hell did these damned contraptions come from, why are they so difficult to deal with, isn’t there anything that can restrain them?”
Restrain?
Zhao Yi suppressed the agitation in his heart and turned his head to look at the growing number of skeleton warriors.
Randomly, his eyes lit up, ”Almost forgot! The most direct means of dealing with the undead is holy light, other than that, you just need to extinguish the soul fire in their skulls!”
Soul fire?
Myriad Sound Realist looked towards the nearest lizardman skeleton warrior and reached out to grab it.
Dragon Tackle!
A constantly jumping green soul fire floated out from the skull of the skeletal warrior.
It was then grabbed into Myriad Voice Reality’s hand.
Snap!
The originally imposing skeleton warrior snapped and fell into a field of white bones.
“It’s really possible!” Myriad Sound Realist’s eyes lit up.
She looked at the soul fire in her hand and frowned, “What about this thing, just destroy it?”
Zhao Yi glanced at the soul fire and couldn’t help but hesitate a bit.
This was the soul fire of an eighth-ranked Saint Realm Skeleton Warrior, and when the skeleton’s owner was alive, his strength was at least ninth-ranked Saint King Realm, or maybe even above ninth-ranked.
It would be a waste to destroy it just like that.
As Zhao Yi was thinking about it, he suddenly felt something tugging at his pants leg by his feet.
Zhao Yi looked down and froze, the thing that grabbed his pants leg wasn’t something else, but a skeleton skeleton that was similar in size to a kitten.
The small skeleton frame looked very wretched, the bones on his body were broken, and half of his four legs were broken.
Zhao Yi was surprised not by the small skeleton frame’s sorry state, but how it had gotten to him.
Although Zhao Yi didn’t have any cultivation, his body’s instinctive reaction couldn’t be compared to even a great cultivator at the peak of the Ninth Order Saint King Realm.
This little skeleton was able to silently touch Zhao Yi’s side, and it wasn’t until his pants leg was tugged that Zhao Yi realized its existence.
Zhao Yi looked at the weak white soul fire on the little skeleton’s head that looked like it was about to go out at any moment, and a curious expression appeared on his face.
“Kind of interesting!”
Zhao Yi said to Realizer Myriad Voice, “Feed that soul fire to it.”
When Miaoyin Zhenran heard Zhao Yi’s words, it was strange but she didn’t think much of it.
She took the mass of soul fire and shoved it directly into the little skeleton’s head.
Snap!
The seemingly weightless soul fire was a weight the little skeleton couldn’t bear.
The little skeleton was directly crushed with a snap after the Myriad Sound Realist shoved the soul fire in.
“Huh?”
Myriad Voice Realist let out a soft eep, unexpectedly looking at the little skeleton with glowing eyes.
“A soul fire that weighs nothing to humans is surprisingly so heavy to these skeletons?”
“It seems that my previous guess was wrong, this soul fire isn’t just the skeleton’s consciousness, there’s something else in there that I don’t know about, and those things make up the skeleton warrior’s soul and source of power!”
“I wonder what kind of existence created such an unimaginable species, it’s truly amazing!”
Zhao Yi watched as Miaoyin Makoto stared at the small skeleton like a perverted scientist, seemingly wanting to peel its head open and study it, and reached out to pull her to the side.
Necromancers were all psychologically twisted perverts.
In addition to studying undead creatures, those lunatics also specialized in various viruses and curses.
In case Miaoyin Makoto accidentally fell prey to them, Zhao Yi wasn’t sure if the antidote pills from the Immortal Cultivation World would be able to break the curses of the Magic World.
Hiccup.
Zhao Yi was just thinking about it when he suddenly heard the sound of someone burping.
He twisted his head over to look at Miaoyin Zhenren.
Miaoyin Makoto quickly shook his head, “It wasn’t me, I didn’t eat anything!”
Zhao Yi first froze, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly looked down at the little skeleton under his feet.
The little skeleton had stood up again at some point.
Zhao Yi looked at the little skeleton’s head, the lizard skeleton warrior’s soul fire was already gone, and the little skeleton’s white soul fire that looked like a broken candle was still bleak.
But I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Zhao Yi felt that the dirty bones on the little skeleton’s body seemed to have cleaned up a little bit, and the broken and shattered marks on the bones had been repaired a little bit.
Realist Miao Yin also noticed the abnormality.
She looked at the little skeleton and her eyes brightened even more, “Between the skeleton warriors, they’re actually able to repair their injuries by devouring soul fire?”
After she finished speaking, her brows furrowed, “The weak are the strong, this is the principle of heaven and earth! That lizard skeleton warrior is at the eighth stage of the Sacred Realm, and its soulfire is at least at that level. This little skeleton looks so weak, and with the two soul flames merging, it should be the skeleton warrior’s soul fire that devours it, so why is it that skeleton warrior that gets absorbed?”
Zhao Yi looked at the little skeleton and smiled slightly, “What if the life level of this little skeleton is far above that lizardman?”
The Myriad Voice Realist nodded, “If that’s the case, then that explains it!”
After speaking, she looked at the little skeleton, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes, “Should we get rid of it? This little thing’s origin shouldn’t be small, if we let it grow, it will likely become a great danger to us in the future!”
Zhao Yi didn’t answer, but instead looked at the little skeleton, “The fact that you just grabbed my pants leg to ask for help shows that you are intelligent, or at least can understand my words.”
Zhao Yi said with a straight face, “Are you willing to recognize me as your master?”
The Myriad Sound Realist looked on with wide eyes.
She had just verified that those skeletal warriors possessed consciousness, but having consciousness didn’t mean having intelligence, as the puppets’ stressful behavior was also a form of self-awareness.
Zhao Yi’s words to the little skeletons were just the right test to see if they were intelligent.
When the little skeleton heard Zhao Yi’s words, it lifted its head with difficulty, and then it directly didn’t move.
Just when Miaoyin Zhenren was about to be disappointed, a strand of silver-white soul fire that was a hundred times more refined than the soul fire in the little skeleton’s head slowly floated towards Zhao Yi’s brow.
“Be careful!” The Myriad Voice Realist was ready to step forward to block it.
Zhao Yi reached out and stopped her, “It’s fine! This is its innate soul fire, and it offered its soul fire to me, which is a sign of recognizing its master! Its divine soul won’t harm me, instead it can strengthen my divine sense and soul!”
Recognizing its master?
The Myriad Voice Realist froze for a moment, and then the light in his eyes shone brightly.
She blurted out in shock, “These skeletons are actually intelligent!”
Zhao Yi ignored her.
After the silver-white soul fire entered his brow, Zhao Yi only felt his divine soul explode with a bang as if it was a balloon that had been blown up!
In the next second, Zhao Yi only felt his divine sense spread infinitely, as if he had the illusion that the entire world was within his grasp!
“This little thing has such a strong divine soul!”
As his divine sense returned, Zhao Yi looked at the inconspicuous little thing at his feet with wide eyes, his eyes filled with shock and horror.
Zhao Yi’s body and divine sense were both at the peak of the Ninth Stage Saint King Realm Saint King Realm after countless refinements, and this little thing’s dying wisp of its own divine soul had boosted at least his soul power by at least a hundred times.
How strong was it in its heyday when it was alive?
What in the world was it?
Boom!
“What is that thing?”
The male lead’s hand jerked away from the lotus that had dulled and lost its color, his face pale as he stumbled backward a dozen steps before stopping.
“What’s wrong?”
The seven-colored ball of light floated in front of the male lead and asked with concern, “What did you see in the long river of time?”
The male lead’s face was filled with horror as he took a deep breath and shook his head, “I don’t know, I saw a person in the Long River of Time, and I was just about to explore his secrets when a huge as if through the sky and through the earth claw rushed down towards me. If it wasn’t for that time fragment that brought me to escape, I would have almost been clawed and exploded by it!”
“That’s impossible!”
The Sage of Time said flatly, “You must have misread it! No one can be fierce in the River of Time, not even the Ancient Clan!”
The male lead was stunned, nearly scared out of his wits by the terrifying thing he had just seen.
At this moment, hearing the Sage of Time questioning himself, he had no qualms about angrily cursing back.
“I’m going to fuck you, love it or hate it!”
