Martial God Asura

Chapter 6696: Middle-Aged Man

Baili Xukong immediately grabbed one of the black objects and placed it into his black bracelet. The black bracelet’s aura immediately strengthened severalfold.

Baili Xukong and the other Netherworld Sectmembers were overjoyed. With such power, it should be a walk in the park for them to awaken the sacred item.

“Baili Xukong, if you trust me, you should awaken the sacred item right now. It’s fine if you still doubt me, but as allies, I’d like you to at least stay here and guard Chu Feng for now. Make sure he doesn’t escape until my main body arrives,” Jie Tianran said.

Baili Xukong looked at Chu Feng and saw that his cultivation had receded to rank five Heavenly God level. With that, there was no reason for him to fear Chu Feng anymore.

“Rest assured, Mansion Master. Since we are allies, I’ll make sure that Chu Feng doesn’t escape. We’ll also heed your advice and awaken our sacred item. Once our Netherworld Sect obtains the power of the sacred item and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion obtains the power of God’s Era, we’ll be unrivaled in the world of cultivation, Baili Xukong said.

Jie Tianran smiled. “We are already unrivaled in the world of cultivation. We should set our sights on conquering the Ninth Galaxy instead.”

Baili Xukong’s eyes lit up, and he nodded. “You’re right, Mansion Master.”

Jie Tianran walked up to Chu Feng and said, “Chu Feng, you are a lucky bastard. I have suffered several setbacks because of you, but ultimately, I am still the one who emerged victorious.”

There was a vile and provocative smile on his face as he said those words.

“Are you sure?” Chu Feng calmly asked.

“Hahaha!” Jie Tianran laughed in contempt.

“How stubborn. I’d like to see if you can still put on a strong front once I return with God’s Era’s final power.”

Jie Tianran formed a hand seal. His clone dissipated into a surge of spirit power, which then fused into the sealing formation trapping Chu Feng. Chu Feng immediately felt a spike in the rate at which his Netherworld Embryo’s energy was being siphoned.

Baili Xukong turned to the Saint-tier elders and bowed to them. “I’ll be counting on you, elders.”

He had never shown such respect to them before, but he understood that the power dynamics between the two powers had shifted after Jie Tianran obtained God’s Era’s power.

“You’re too courteous, Lord Baili. We are just following Lord Mansion Master’s orders. We will remain vigilant and give it our all,” one of the Saint-tier elders replied.

Baili Xukong then dispatched the black objects to his subordinates to complete their black bracelets, so that they could focus on awakening their sacred item.

“Baili Xukong, Chu Feng’s blue aura hasn’t fully receded yet. I fear that he might be feigning weakness. I’ll continue guarding this place until his blue aura recedes to a level where the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s world spiritists can control him before heading over to aid you in the awakening of the sacred item,” Dongfang Hansong said.

“All right.” Baili Xukong nodded before leading his subordinates toward the sacred item.

His aides, such as Xiahou Jue and Wuma Hanshuang, followed him.

Once they were some distance away, Baili Xukong suddenly took out an exquisite wooden box and opened it. In it was a transparent pill that emanated the Ancient Era’s aura. He handed the pill to Xiahou Jue.

“Jie Tianran has obtained God’s Era’s power. We have to quickly awaken our sacred item, or else we risk being suppressed by the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

“The sealing formation trapping Chu Feng utilizes our sect’s secret skill and treasures, allowing it to siphon away the energy of Chu Feng’s Netherworld Embryo. I fear that Dongfang Hansong will covet that.

“This pill conceals you, but it’ll lose its effectiveness once you use a martial skill or wield your God Armament. I want you to take the pill and secretly follow Dongfang Hansong. Don’t stop him if he really covets Chu Feng’s Netherworld Embryo. Instead, I want you to report it to me right away,” Baili Xukong said.

“Yes, milord.”

Xiahou Jue consumed the pill and disappeared right away. Even his aura vanished. He turned around to follow Dongfang Hansong.

Meanwhile, Jie Tianran was still maneuvering God’s Era’s humongous silhouette toward the Bloodline Galaxy. The entire world of cultivation quaked with each step it took, though it didn’t cause any tangible damage.

Every single individual in the world of cultivation, no matter their galaxy, starfield, or realm, understood that something big was about to happen. The more timid ones broke down in tears, thinking that a catastrophe was about to befall them.

This huge commotion naturally caught the attention of all major powers, including Song Changsheng.

He knew that he couldn’t sit back anymore. He made his way to the Nine Souls Galaxy. His footsteps might seem slow, but realms flew past him with every step he took.

Just then, he noticed a comet whizzing across space, moving at an even faster speed than him. It was extremely discreet, though it was not enough to escape his notice. That person was using an invaluable, one-time-use world spiritist treasure.

The comet had come from the Ancestral Martial Galaxy and was headed for the Bloodline Galaxy.

“Elder, I guess you can’t sit still either,” Song Changsheng remarked with a smile.

...

Meanwhile, a powerful entity in the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect was observing the movements of God’s Era’s silhouette without using any observation formation.

“Lord Long Xie, did Jie Tianran really obtain God’s Era’s final power?” the monstrous old man asked.

“Have you gone senile? Even those lords back then have failed to obtain God’s Era’s final power. How can someone as insignificant as Jie Tianran possibly obtain it?” Long Xie scoffed.

He could tell that it was a one-time-use world spiritist treasure

“But isn’t Jie Tianran controlling God’s Era’s movements right now?”

“That’s hard to say. He could be the one controlling it, but God’s Era might also be moving on its own volition.”

“That is indeed possible. Milord, should we make a move if Chu Feng is in danger?”

“Don’t you think it’s beneath our stature to make a move against such a minor figure?”

Right after Long Xie said those words, all entities in the forbidden land turned to look in the same direction. In that direction stood a huge mountain that towered above the clouds, but if one were to take a closer look, one would realize that it wasn’t a mountain but a huge coffin.

That was where the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect’s sectmaster was in closed-door cultivation.

“It’s time for the lass to make a move,” Long Xie said.

The coffin shook.

Boom!

A gap appeared in the coffin, and a powerful aura gushed out.

“That lass has really undergone a metamorphosis. You’re right. She can definitely deal with Jie Tianran by herself,” the monstrous old man said excitedly.

Long Xie also smirked in glee. He was the one behind her metamorphosis, after all.

Shoosh!

All of a sudden, an object fell from the sky and landed on top of the coffin. It was a blank tombstone. It was small, standing at only a meter tall, but it emanated tremendous energy.

It closed the coffin shut once more and sealed it in place.

A middle-aged man’s voice echoed, “Let’s just watch the show. It wouldn’t be fun if you got involved in it.”

That voice echoed from all directions as if it were omnipresent.
