Chapter 1203: Killing Huang Youdi

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Nie Yunchang stared at her senior sister, feeling a chill run through her heart. However, a moment later, a crazed laugh rang out from her.

Everyone was bound together in spirit and were as close as sisters the moment they entered Matriarch Jiʼs sect?

This was something Matriarch Ji had told them when she accepted them as her disciples. Matriarch Ji had no desire to see her disciples fighting against each other one day. If that happened, she would truly have failed at being a teacher.

Every supreme expert would have their own ideology when it came to accepting disciples. There were some who delighted in the conflict between their disciples, while others wanted their disciples to support each other.

Matriarch Ji belonged to the latter category as the number of experts cultivating spatial energy was already so limited. And for those with spatial talent, and who were also female, such individuals were further limited in number. Women would find cultivation tougher than men. They were usually trapped by matters of the hearts, and the path of cultivation was a lonely one. She had hoped that her disciples would be able to support each other.

However, today within the sacred academy, both Nie Yunchang and Qing`er were actually fighting against each other.

”Senior Sister, you have no idea of the things I had to endure and youʼre blaming me?” Nie Yunchang laughed hysterically. ”Just because she has a better background and her talent is superior?”

”A heart demon has already manifested in your heart. I may not know what youʼve endured and experienced, but since Huang Youdi was able to command you to launch a sneak attack on Qing`er, I can roughly guess what happened. My heart feels anguished on your behalf, but thatʼs no reason for you to act against Qing`er.” That senior apprentice sister was named Mo Ziyan, who had always taken good care of her junior sisters and was well-respected in their sect.

”If Senior Sister were in my shoes, what would you do?” Nie Yunchang questioned.

”I would either choose to die, or I would choose to kill them all. I wouldnʼt betray the edicts of our master, or act against a fellow disciple.” Mo Ziyan didnʼt hesitate, her words were powered by the resolution in her heart. That would be her choice.

”Why must I die for her?” Nie Yunchang couldnʼt understand.

”Everyone has their own will. This is your choice. Nie Yunchang, although my heart hurts over what you were subjected to, you should not use this to justify your actions. When we exit the scared academy, I will tell the whole truth of this matter to our master, beseeching her to give a fair judgement.” Mo Ziyan spoke. ”You might be unwilling to accept this, but you shouldnʼt have implicated Qing`er. I know you think that you only suffered that ordeal because of Qing`er, while quite a number of our fellow sisters also died. But I can tell that today, if the trigger of this entire incident was caused by you instead of Qing`er; we all wouldʼve done the same for you, myself included. Not complaining in the slightest, even if we had to give our lives. Despite the fact that I no longer approve of you, I would still make the same choice and allow myself to be implicated within. If not, how can we proclaim ourselves to be the disciples of Matriarch Ji?!”

”Thereʼs nothing perfect in the world. Master taught you cultivation, granting you an elevated status in your clan, followed by boundless glory. But when the sect needed you to fight for a fellow member, you showed your cowardice instead, choosing to censure your fellow sister instead. Since thatʼs the case, why did you even join the sect? Hence, the moment we chose to enter the sect, some things have already been destined to occur,” Mo Ziyan slowly spoke, her words causing Nie Yunchangʼs heart to shudder.

The crazed smile on her face vanished and was replaced by tears. Today, if she was the one in question, they would fight for her as well. All of them would be willing to sacrifice their lives?

Was she the one in the wrong?

Mo Ziyan didnʼt continue to look at her. She was now glaring at Huang Wudi and their other enemies as well. Right now, there was boundless fury in her heart. Her cold eyes gleamed with an intense killing intent.

”Fascinating.” Huang Youdi laughed. ”Very touching, but so what? As you said, ever since you all chose to participate in the war, everything was already destined. What sort of character is my elder brother? He exudes a magnificence that could last throughout the generations and he has no equal in the sacred academy. For him to take a fancy for your junior apprentice Qing`er is already an honor to her. However, you all deemed it a humiliation instead. Since this is the case, I will show you girls, the disciples of Matriarch Ji, what humiliation truly is.”

As the sound of his voice faded, the people beside him all rushed towards Mo Ziyan and her fellow disciples. Their immortal-foundations were released, exuding shocking might.

Mo Ziyan and her companions also released their powerful auras. An expert from the Battle Saint Tribe had an even more terrifying cultivation. With a thunderous roar, he transformed into a giant as a phantom of a divine ape appeared behind him, radiating enough pressure to cause the heavens and earth to shake as boundless battle saint might permeated the atmosphere.

Qing`er slowly turned her gaze towards Huang Youdi. A terrifying coldness could be seen in her eyes. She didnʼt hate Nie Yunchang. Even with Nie Yunchangʼs betrayal, she didnʼt harbor a grudge against her. However, she truly hated Huang Youdi. Some people genuinely deserved to be killed.

A fearsome spatial storm gushed forth from her body, with motes of law energy within. Instantly, it felt like she had a body of laws, circulating with terrifying spatial might that enveloped the space around her.

”Huh?” Huang Wudi frowned. Earlier, he had already noticed the transformation in Qing`er. Upon feeling her aura, everything was made clear to him. Such strength, it felt similar to the energy circulating around the body of his brother, Huang Shatian!

But how could this be possible?

A body of laws meant that your body transformed into a representative of a law. You would be law itself. This was something only immortal kings could possess. Being able to reach this step meant that an immortal-foundation character had already come into contact with the gate that led to the immortal king realm. But Qing`erʼs cultivation base was still so weak—only at the fifth-level. How was it possible that she had come into contact with the immortal king gate?

When Mo Ziyan sensed Qing`erʼs transformation, her eyes flashed with a trace of puzzlement. Was this the term ʼinnate immortal kingʼ that her master had always mentioned to her? Qing`er was born with innate immortal king potential. To her, there would be no barrier to the immortal king realm. Once her cultivation base at the immortal-foundation level had reached its peak, she would have no difficulties in stepping into the next realm— the immortal king realm.

Right now, despite her weaker cultivation base, she had already come into contact with the boundaries of the immortal king realm.

”Royal Brother, you deal with that old female. Let me handle Qin Wentianʼs woman,” Huang Youdi said. Mo Ziyan wasnʼt old at all and appeared to be around 30 years of age. However, Huang Youdiʼs words clearly intended to offend Mo Ziyan.

”Careful, she is undergoing some kind of transformation,” Huang Wudi reminded him.

”Donʼt worry.” Huang Youdi had been defeated by Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen. How could he allow himself to lose todayʼs battle with Qing`er?

Huang Wudi glanced at a subordinate beside him as he transmitted a message over, ordering his subordinate to support Huang Youdi if needed and to protect him from harm. After that, he stepped out and walked towards Mo Ziyan.

There were a total of eight people on Huang Wudiʼs side, while opposite to them, Mo Ziyan and Qing`er were accompanied by two experts from the Battle Saint Tribe, there were only two other experts from the Battle Saint Tribe, making a total of only four.

Huang Wudi and Huang Youdi fought solo. There was a protector for Huang Youdi, and the other five experts, which included White-eye, were responsible for settling the two experts from the Battle Saint Tribe.

The combat instantly erupted. Qing`er stepped towards Huang Youdi only to see six human emperor silhouettes manifesting around him. All six radiated a blinding light that slashed out towards Qing`er.

However, when those beams of immortal light landed on Qing`er, it was like trying to slash at the void, causing them to dissipate upon contact. From Qing`erʼs body, the law energy continued to circulate. And the space around her seemed to transform into a world of its own.

”KILL!” Huang Youdi coldly roared, causing his immortal light to glow with fierce intensity transforming into boundlessly sharp swords that rained down.

Qing`erʼs gaze was as cold as ever. Stepping out, she paid no mind to the attacks landing on her. Her body crossed space and continued moving towards Huang Youdi. She blasted out the Immortal-Slaying Diagram, the spatial might instantly enveloping their entire surroundings as fearsome spatial swords tore at the space within, seeking utter destruction.

”Careful!” His protector stepped out, slashing out with a sword, aiming for Qing`erʼs throat. The sword slashed out with incredible power, ripping apart the spatial diagram. Qing`er didnʼt retreat. Her countenance remained as glacial as before. Her delicate hands stretched out and grabbed towards space and in the next instant, Huang Youdi suddenly lost his bodyʼs mobility—he had no choice but to endure the attacks from the spatial swords she created.

”BANG!” As the enemyʼs sword landed, boundless spatial energy fluctuations could be felt around Qing`er as her body was covered in the light of spatial law energy. Huang Youdiʼs protector hurriedly dragged Huang Youdi away by force, slashing out with his sword to break apart the spatial barriers.

Even so, Huang Youdi had already suffered from her attacks. He coughed out several mouthfuls of blood as his countenance paled. He stared in shock at the beautiful figure before him as his heart began pounding rapidly.

Defeated again, and he was in such a miserable state. He had self-proclaimed to be a match for everyone underneath the heavens. Yet he had suffered from three consecutive losses, each time to a person with a lower cultivation base compared to him. Right now, he couldnʼt even withstand a single strike.

”Careful! Everyone surround her! She can control a hint of immortal kingʼs might!” Huang Wudiʼs conjecture had been verified. The daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor could truly control a trace of immortal kingʼs might at the fifth level of immortal-foundation. This was something inconceivable. But given how vast the immortal realms were, the heavens bestowed different levels of talent to everyone. Itʼs only natural that there would be some who were already innately favored by the heavens since their birth.

Controlling immortal kingʼs might, albeit it only being a trace—itʼs still terrifying to the extreme. Such power naturally couldnʼt be fully controlled by her.

Qing`er continued walking towards Huang Youdi, her cold eyes flashing with killing intent. However at this moment, three experts obstructed her path—White-eye was included with them.

It was like Qing`er didnʼt see them. She continued ahead, using her spatial energy to open up a pathway. In the next instant, she directly appeared before Huang Youdi. The fearsome spatial might caused Huang Youdiʼs body to freeze solid. Her actions greatly stunned the experts behind her. Stellar martial cultivators who cultivated spatial energy were truly terrifying characters. They hurriedly gathered their energy and unleashed an ultimate killing technique, aiming for Qing`er. Even if Qing`er could control a trace of immortal kingʼs might, she would still be destroyed by their combined power.

”CAREFUL!” Huang Wudi turned ashen. Qing`er was willing to pay any price to kill Huang Youdi.

”RUMBLE!” An incomparably violent energy descended. Mo Ziyanʼs powerful attack impeded Huang Wudi from taking action. Huang Wudi could only place his hopes on the three experts.

Qing`erʼs finger slammed down, aiming for Huang Youdiʼs head. If this attack landed, Huang Youdiʼs death was a certainty.

At this moment, Huang Youdiʼs body trembled violently as a look of abject terror could be seen on his face. There was no longer any hints of arrogance. His entire body was frozen by spatial energy and he was fully immobilized. Right now, he could only wait for death.

He looked behind Qing`er. The attacks from these three experts would surely manage to kill her.

However at this moment, an extremely dazzling spatial light suddenly flared behind Qing`er. Over there, a figure abruptly appeared, blocking the attacks for her. That figure was actually none other than Nie Yunchang!

She unleashed the full power of her immortal-foundation, manifesting a fearsome spatial diagram that swallowed up the attacks of the three experts. However after that, that spatial diagram shattered, as her immortal-foundation cracked completely.

At this exact moment, Qing`erʼs killing blow landed, piercing right through the center of Huang Youdiʼs brows. At this moment, Huang Youdiʼs eyes were filled with boundless terror and despair. As this finger landed, a countless number of spatial cracks appeared in his sea of consciousness and a moment later, his eyes no longer moved.

”Yunchang!” Mo Ziyan froze, her heart pounding wildly when she saw what happened. There were actually tears in her eyes.

The earth was trembling, but the hearts of Matriarch Jiʼs disciples were shuddering even more intensely. In fact, they couldnʼt even feel the tremors of the earth right now!
