Chapter 499: Break the Heavens!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“A man should have an indomitable spirit, unbreakable will, and an unyielding spirit!”
This was something that Jiang Yunhai taught Jiang Yi, and Jiang Yi had been influenced by his grandfather since a young age, which made his character very tenacious. Back at Skyplume City’s Jiang Clan, he had been bullied by people like Jiang Ruhu, but he had never yielded and would rather get his limbs broken or knocked out.
His had a character that grew stronger when he met someone strong. The more pressure he suffered, even more toughness came from him as he bounced back.
Back at Mt. Spirit Beast College—when Jiang Yiliu and Zhangsun Wuji wanted to deal with him, he had nearly killed the two of them. After the Kingdom War—when Xia Wuhui had taken the Soul-Subduing Herb that originally belonged to him, he even dared to commit treason and raided the Divine Martial Kingdom.
Jiang Yi was never someone that was afraid of death, and if anyone provoked him, he would sacrifice everything to dethrone the emperor. He would even kill the gods themselves!
Before the Demon Empress left, she mentioned to never go against the Martial Arts Hall. She said that he could kill all the Vajra Realm martial experts in the continent, but he should never go provoke the Martial Arts Hall.
Yun Qingtian also asked Grandma Silver Flower to pass over a message, that if the Martial Arts Hall’s demands were too excessive, he should endure it and lower his head!
The fact had proven it!
The Martial Arts Hall was indeed abnormally formidable and was an influential force that Jiang Yi couldn’t afford to provoke. The consequence of provoking them was to have his entire army dying along with him.
If he didn’t submit, he would have to die. Su Ruoxue and Jiang Xiaonu would have to die; the people inside the Thearch Palace would have to die. All the surviving soldiers at the surface of the ground would have to die as well!
If he was to submit, he would have to offer his soul seal and become the Martial Arts Hall’s slave. It would allow the Martial Arts Hall to take control of his life and death. He had to live a life like a dog for his entire life.
It was a very difficult choice!
It was so difficult that Jiang Yi’s entire mind was exploding. It was so difficult that his face was distorted and looked extremely sinister. It was so difficult that his soul spirit was going to split apart.
“Ahh, Ahh, Ahh...!”
He held onto his head and constantly yelled towards the sky. His yells were so shockingly loud that it resonated in everyone’s ears below. The yell was so painful, sullen, unresigned, and enraged!
If... his anger could start a prairie fire, the entire Stellarsky City would have been incinerated by his flames of fury.
His eyes were blood red, and his red hair was dancing in the sky like tiny red snakes. His murderous aura was bursting like a rainbow, and he wished he could slaughter all of his enemies and smashed the entire sky!
“No, no! Not submitting! I will not submit; I will not yield! If this is my—Jiang Yi’s—fate, then I will slash the chains of fate! If this is the heavens way of playing with me, then I will break the heavens! Kill, kill, kill!”
Jiang Yi let out an enraged roar towards the sky, and when he shouted out the final “kill” word, something bizarre happened.
The clouds that were tens of kilometers in the sky suddenly surged while a multi-colored mystical cloud drifted over in all directions. In the Nine Heavens above, a purple divine bolt of lightning pierced through the sky and entered Jiang Yi!
“Uh...”
It felt as though the spatial zone of the entire Stellarsky City had frozen. More than ninety demon kings stopped their slaughter and looked at that divine lightning with fear. The might of heaven and earth caused all the demon kings and all the martial artists’ soul spirit to tremble.
“Multi-colored mystical clouds! Heaven-and-earth anomaly! This, this...”
Elder Lu and Elder Zeng’s eyes were filled with fear and shock as they looked at the sky with disbelief. There were plenty of records of such heaven-and-earth anomaly in the Martial Arts Hall, and every time it happened, it was when someone broke through to the Heaven Monarch Realm.
Breaking through to the Heaven Monarch Realm meant that one had comprehended the dao pattern to a certain level. They were acknowledged by the heaven and earth, and so they were bestowed with the power of the Nine Heaven Stars. Jiang Yi had suddenly made contact with the laws of heaven and earth. Could it mean that he had broken through to the Heaven Monarch Realm?
“No, he didn’t break through to the Heaven Monarch Realm!”
Dugu Qiu’s ever-calm expression had a trace of ripple, while his straight brows knitted closely. He had a severe expression, and after taking a few more closer looks, he gritted his teeth and said, “Jiang Yi might have comprehended the fifth rank of the Massacre Intent, reaching the consummate rank. The martial dao intent is originally a kind of dao pattern, and when comprehended to the limits, the laws of heaven and earth would bestow the practitioner with the power of the Nine Heaven Stars.”
“Fifth rank of the Massacre Intent?”
Elder Lu and Elder Zeng looked at each other with eyes of fear. In history, when the Heaven Monarch of Massacre had comprehended the fifth rank of Massacre Intent, he was able to use it and effortlessly suppress martial artists of the similar realm. Jiang Yi’s essence force had reached the Vajra Realm, and if it was true, they were truly in great trouble.
“Kill!”
The two of them gritted their teeth and decided to make a move. The mystical clouds in the sky slowly scattered while that divine lightning from the nine heavens vanished into Jiang Yi’s body.
Jiang Yi’s body seemed to be in a meditative state, and it was the best timing for them to launch a sneak attack. Otherwise, when Jiang Yi awakened, who knew what else would happen?
Swish!
The two of them turned into afterimages and flew towards Jiang Yi. Dugu Qiu’s brows lifted but ultimately didn’t stop them; it might be good for the two of them scout out the situation first. Essence force was flickering in his hand as he got ready to release his ultimate attack at any moment.
“Lord Regent, be careful!”
The soldiers from the Great Xia Kingdom shouted out when they saw Jiang Yi suspended in mid-air with his eyes closed, seemingly ignorant of the fact that the two elders were approaching him.
Three kilometers, two kilometers, one kilometer!
Elder Lu and Zeng swiftly closed the gap between them and Jiang Yi. They didn’t attack from a distance as they had a higher chance of killing Jiang Yi in a single move if they got closer.
When they were around 300 meters away and saw that Jiang Yi was still unaware, their eyes lit up along with their hands. They were about to launch out their most powerful dao pattern attacks.
Buzz!
Right at this moment, Jiang Yi’s eyes suddenly opened up. Just like a giant beast opening its eyes, Jiang Yi’s blood red eyes caused the two of their hearts to shudder. Immediately after, an ancient divine beast-like aura presence was released from his body, which quickly enveloped Elder Lu and Elder Zeng.
“Two Elders, quickly retreat...”
Dugu Qiu burst out yelling and rushed up like a lightning. Halfway rushing and before he could finish yelling, his body paused in mid-air. He revealed eyes of fear because Jiang Yi’s aura presence had already shrouded around him.
“Uh!”
Jiang Yi’s aura presence extended out quickly like a breeze enveloping the entire Stellarsky City. At this moment, it felt as though the spatial zone of the entire city had been imprisoned.
The entire city was utterly silent, and a pin drop could be heard. It was horrifyingly silent!
“The fifth rank of the Massacre Intent is actually so terrifying?”
Ji Tingyu, who was in the Martial Arts Hall’s building, was shivering in fear while her teeth were chattering at the same time. She fearfully looked into the crystal ball and had this bitter expression as she saw Jiang Yi standing in mid-air with pride.
Jiang Yi was high up in the sky and was very far away from the Martial Arts Hall, but that fearful aura presence could still be felt. Jiang Yi was just like a god that was invincible, and one couldn’t even garner any intention to oppose against him.
It was just like a Cast Tripod Realm martial artist facing a Vajra Realm expert. When the Vajra Realm expert burst out with aura presence, would the Cast Tripod Realm martial artists dare to slash at him even if he had a saber?
“Chief Hall Master, swiftly retreat!”
Even though Ji Tingyu’s heart was in fear and she was suffocating under the immense pressure, she still clenched her teeth and yelled at the crystal ball. Her hands radiated with essence force as she exerted all her strength to slam on the crystal ball.
Buzz!
When the crystal ball lit up, the entire Martial Arts Hall glowed as well. A powerful aura presence was released from the Martial Arts Hall, which was quickly followed by a white pillar of light that shot out from the roof and towards Jiang Yi.
“Hmph!”
Jiang Yi had an emotionless expression as his body was like a ten-thousand-year-old glacier. He struck out a bundle of Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames towards Elder Lu and Elder Zeng before he vanished.
“Ah—!”
Elder Lu and Elder Zeng were just 300 meters away from Jiang Yi. After being enveloped by Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent, their essence force were going haywire, and all strength left their limbs. How were they going to react? They had no choice but to witness the sea of flames whizzing towards them.
Swish!
When Jiang Yi instant-shifted, that terrifying pressure vanished as well, which allowed Dugu Qiu to move. He didn’t hesitate and didn’t bother about two elders as well. He even disregarded the Multitude Beast Pagoda that was suspending in the sky and descended rapidly towards the Martial Arts Hall’s building.
“Ah! Ah!”
Elder Lu and Elder Zeng wanted to escape, but Jiang Yi flashed and appeared not far from them. The Massacre Intent continued to suppress them while their bodies quickly caught on fire and were incinerated into ashes before scattering down from the skies of Stellarsky City.
“Are you still able to escape?”
Jiang Yi glanced at the Martial Arts Hall and revealed a trace of cold intent in his mouth as he burst towards the Martial Arts Hall below. That terrifying prowess didn’t allow Ling Xue and the others to even stand as they all collapsed and knelt down.
