Chapter 800: Chapter 469: Killed 2, Scared 1 Away

Right at this moment, a massive column of black smoke suddenly erupted from a yellowish hill several dozen feet high, about seven or eight miles away.

Golden light streaked over the hill and collided head-on with the black smoke, instantly exploding with a rumbling sound. The black smoke rippled violently, vaguely revealing a pale, tall and thin figure within its depths.

Zhao Sheng showed no expression, pointing a finger into the void. With a flash of light from a talisman, a Thunderbolt Thunderball the size of a basket appeared out of nowhere, falling onto the head of the pitch-black Corpse King in a flash.

The sound of “puff puff” erupted loudly!

A vast array of pale purple Thunder Light poured down, infused with Supreme Yang energy, overwhelmingly engulfing the gigantic Corpse King.

As the Corpse King was baptized by the Thunder Light, its rigid body stiffened abruptly, and a very human-like fear shone in its eyes.

Zhao Sheng gave it no chance to catch its breath, and with a wave of his hand, numerous high-level Thunder Talismans turned to ashes in an instant.

Rumbling!

One Purple Mist Divine Thunder after another struck the head of the Corpse King, the Thunder Light surging like a sea, and in no time at all completely submerged the Corpse King.

Ten miles away, the Ghost Manipulating Young Man, seeing the situation was unfavorable, sent out a streak of black light with a swift gesture, shooting towards Zhao Sheng as if attempting to interrupt his spell-casting.

However, the Great Sun descended, bathing in radiant light, instantly shielding its owner completely.

The black light precisely clashed with the golden light and astonishingly, both were neutralized.

Zhao Sheng looked towards the tall, thin silhouette shrouded in black mist, his hands never pausing in their motions.

At the same time, gigantic house-sized scarlet flame meteors flew out one after another from the Great Sun Dharma Form, all heading toward the Ghost Manipulating Young Man.

Meanwhile, with the black mist billowing and dispersing, eerie ghostly sounds suddenly echoed from the dark depths, as hideously twisted old ghosts emerged out of the black mist.

These old ghosts abruptly expanded into enormous ghostly figures, swarming towards the incoming scarlet flame meteors.

Crackling!

For an instant, the two powerful Divine Thoughts clashed in the void a hundred times over, seemingly locked in stalemate.

Despite this, the Ghost Manipulating Young Man was extremely shocked.

Because as far as he knew, the Sixteenth Ancestor of the Zhao Family was of the Qiong branch, living at most five hundred years.

Even if this person was a natural genius, he could not possibly have ascended to the Nascent Soul stage for more than two hundred years.

By conventional reasoning, his cultivation should not have reached Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and his Divine Thought strength should be far lower than his own, at the Nascent Soul Fifth Level.

Yet, the reality was quite the opposite!

This person fought against two adversaries alone and seemed to be handling the situation with ease.

“This child will be a major threat in the future, absolutely must not be left alive!”

Even though the Ghost Manipulating Young Man harbored deep malice in his heart, a shadow suddenly shrouded his mind.

Zhao Sheng concealed the majority of his strength, engaging in a mental duel with the Ghost Manipulating Young Man while unleashing a torrent of Purple Mist Divine Thunder to bombard the Corpse King.

He did this in order to draw out more hidden enemies.

But for now, it seemed the only enemies were the Heavenly Corpse Master and the vengeful Ghost Manipulating Young Man.

The pitch-black Corpse King, continuously baptized by the Purple Mist Divine Thunder, didn’t hold out long before its skin burst open, reducing to bare bones.

Soon, this powerful Corpse King, once a match for a Nascent Soul, surprisingly turned into a great expanse of black ash, disappearing forever in front of Zhao Sheng’s eyes.

Though separated by layers of earth, the Heavenly Corpse Master could still clearly sense the destructive aura of the Thunder Light above.

While he was shocked, an intention to retreat rose within him.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to exert his full strength, but simply because the opponent’s dual mastery of thunder and fire was his absolute bane.

Thinking of this, a trace of panic flashed across the Heavenly Corpse Master’s face.

“Hmph, I’ve found you!”

At this moment, Zhao Sheng abruptly gazed downwards, his sharp eyes seemingly able to penetrate thick layers of earth to see the hidden Heavenly Corpse Master beneath.

The Great Sun Dharma Form behind Zhao Sheng suddenly radiated a glorious brilliance, with a giant seven-colored fire river appearing on its surface like a rainbow.

This seven-colored fire river was woven from seven types of Heaven and Earth True Fire, including the World-purifying Vedic Flame and Destructive God Soul Erosion Divine Light, its power immeasurable.

The fire river arched across the sky like a rainbow, and with a tremendous surge, its dozens-of-feet-wide surface poured onto the ground, instantly vaporizing the soil and stone, melting a large hole into the earth as the True Fire surged into the depths below.

With his expression changing drastically, the Heavenly Corpse Master was about to flee, yet suddenly a powerful and unimaginable Divine Thought struck his head, immediately causing his soul to tremble, and in an instant, he lost consciousness.

The next moment, the rainbow-colored fire river burned through the thick layers of earth, “drenched” onto the Heavenly Corpse Master. The seven types of strange Flame Power simultaneously attacked, instantly breaking through his defensive barrier and incinerating him into a pile of ashes.

The renowned Nascent Soul Ancestor wasn’t even able to escape using his Nascent Soul form and was annihilated.

The seven-colored flame emitted a “sizzle” and soon rolled back, returning with a flash to the Great Sun Dharma Form.

Zhao Sheng waved his hand, casting a spell, as two types of flames collided out of nowhere. With a thunderous explosion in the void, a vast expanse of Chaotic Gray Light spread out.

With a thought, Zhao Sheng’s Divine Thought erupted in full force, immediately transforming the Annihilation Grey Light into a massive gray sword. It flashed and pierced through the void, slashing towards the head of the Ghost Manipulating Young Man.

At the same time, the Ghost Manipulating Young Man held a black wolf-toothed club in his hand, about the same size as his body. A faint black light glimmered on its surface, and an indescribable pressure emanated from within.

With a furious roar, he swung the giant club at the gray sword with all his might.

However, the High Grade Magical Treasure suddenly shattered into two without any sign, and the Annihilation Grey Sword seemed unaffected, slicing towards the Ghost Manipulating Young Man’s head.

Boom boom boom!

In that instant, countless black objects vanished simultaneously, the yin demonic energy enveloping the hill quietly annihilated, along with the ghastly tall and thin figure, and the entire hill.

With a flash in his eyes, Zhao Sheng suddenly turned his head towards the west,

At that moment, with a rumbling sound, an earthquake shook the ground as a mine to the west collapsed, erupting with a huge cloud of dust and debris.

Zhao Sheng, without saying a word, raised both hands, and the Three Suns Intense Fire Banner flashed out. The flag unfurled, emitting a dazzling brilliance, as a scarlet sun separated from the banner and pressed towards the west with a rumbling force.

Soon after, Zhao Sheng waved his hands continuously, blasting clusters of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire from the Dharma Form. They fiercely grew to over ten feet in size, bearing various colors of flame light, flying towards the suddenly appeared elder with a bittersweet expression.

The man was wearing the Thousand Birds and Ten Thousand Beasts Robe, his face carrying a distressed look.

Seeing the scarlet sun and clusters of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire flying forth roaring, the elder couldn’t help but reveal a look of regret, though his actions did not hesitate a bit.

With a sudden flourish of his large sleeves, innumerable Illusions of Immortal Birds and Strange Beasts appeared layer by layer, transforming into giant Beast Spirits, boldly charging towards the incoming attack without fear of death.

Rumble and roar!

A series of colossal explosions resounded, and countless Beast Spirits were incinerated to nothing, but the scarlet sun thus also crumbled.

Meanwhile, the large amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire were blocked for a single breath.

It was during this brief breath that the elder with the Beastly Robe found an opportunity to escape.

An Illusion of a Six-winged Strange Moth appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the elder’s body. He then soared into the sky, in an instant flying to the Cloud Sky, escaping Zhao Sheng’s range of Divine Thought sensing at an incredible speed.

Zhao Sheng glanced at the cloud sea above, his eyes flickering twice, showing no intention to pursue and kill.

As soon as the elder with the clear beard was forced to reveal himself, Zhao Sheng recognized his identity.

His Taoist name was Beast Venerable, also known as Venerable Wan Shou, famed a thousand years ago, and his true identity was a Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Supreme Sensing Sect, with cultivation likely between the Nascent Soul Fifth and Sixth Levels, definitely not having broken through the Late Nascent Soul stage.

This person had just been lurking in the shadows, seemingly intent on assisting the two Demon Path Ancestors, but his murderous intent wasn’t strong.

Perhaps for that reason, he fled frantically after merely glimpsing Zhao Sheng.

Of course, he might have simply been frightened and fled in terror.

However, what he didn’t know was that Zhao Sheng had no intention of killing him,

Simply because the Southern Sky Zhao Family had long established rules, unwilling to break relations with the Supreme Sensing Sect.

Great foes still lurked nearby!

If the two top forces of this realm were to have an internal conflict over a minor issue, wouldn’t that draw laughter from the people of the Netherworld?

Compared to the life and death of a realm, a trivial reputation was utterly insignificant.

Zhao Sheng withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and then descended to the ground, sweeping his Divine Thought like water over more than twenty miles around him.

Items such as Storage Bags, broken magic treasures, Corpse Cores, Soul Cores, and other Treasures continuously flew out from the soil and stone, automatically heading towards him and were quickly collected.
