“Entering the Boundless Mountain Range?”
“Very interesting…”
Those two words were said in an icy tone beneath the black robes.
When Deng Leigong heard that icy tone, he shivered once more. He then said in a manner even more respectful than speaking to his father, “My Lord, that kid will definitely die in there. He is only in the Condensation Element realm, so there’s no way he can survive.”
Those words were self-serving since he didn’t want the word of the Heavenly Soul Capturing Pill to be leaked.
If the black-robed elder chases after Luo Tian and kills him, finds the Heavenly Soul Capturing Pill on him, and investigates the matter, it would be difficult to escape the implication.
Therefore, he didn’t want anyone to find out his secret.
It was no exception, even when he had to face the powerful black-robed elder that made him tremble just being near him.
Even though he had a feeling Luo Tian wouldn’t die that easily, he still didn’t want others to track Luo Tian down.
Ghost Servant paused for a short while before saying, “The Boundless Mountain Range is the most dangerous forbidden area in the Central Continent. Even an expert at the Myriad Illusion realm will have a hard time leaving with their life. It looks like that kid really isn’t going to live long.”
After thinking a while longer, Ghost Servant looked out into the sky and said, “Looks like I really have to swing by the Tianxuan Continent.”
“But…”
A glint of light suddenly appeared in Ghost Servant’s eyes as he stared at Deng Leigong, “I still want to enter the mountain to take a look. What if he does manage to stay alive there? He is someone the Owner wants me to find…”
Deng Leigong’s face turned pale in fear. Not because of that black-robed person’s words but because of the gaze he was being stared at. It felt like he had been seen through, so he immediately kneeled on the ground and said, “Yes, yes, yes! My Lord’s words are right! Maybe that kid is lucky enough to stay alive.”
When Deng Leigong raised his head, he realized Ghost Servant was no longer there.
“Fuuu~…”
Deng Leigong could finally relax, his entire body instantly sagging. He sat on the ground half-paralyzed, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. “Too scary. I never imagined… I never imagined that the Hai family would suddenly send out Hai Tongtian’s personal bodyguard, the Netherworld Ghost Servant.”
He knew a little about the Hai family.
When he was still a student at Misty Cloud Academy, he desperately wanted to join the Hai family. So, he did a detailed investigation of everything about the Hai family. Hai Tongtian had a total of eight personal bodyguards, and their cultivation, strength, and even appearance were all the same.
There were rumors that the eight personal bodyguards were all the same person.
Some say the eight personal bodyguards are the strongest in the Hai family, and they were all refined by Hai Batian in order to protect the current patriarch. Hai Batian was the strongest person in the Central Continent and the number one sorcerer who was infinitely close to being a God.
Those eight bodyguards only listened to the commands of Hai Tongtian.
Out of the eight bodyguards, what ranking did Ghost Servant have? Deng Leigong had no idea.
But Deng Leigong knew the way the Hai family did things, and he knew what it meant for Ghost Servant to be sent out. After hearing what Ghost Servant had just said, he couldn’t help but chuckle, “Cutting the grass and removing the roots. Luo Tian, you damn dog thing. Not only are you going to die, but so are your relatives in the lower planes and anyone else who is even remotely related to you. Hahaha… That’s good, too, because it saves me from having to worry about you. As for the Heavenly Soul Capturing Pill…”
Upon thinking about this point, Deng Leigong’s brows unconsciously knitted together.
He then muttered, “I hope the Mountain Sea Devil Sect can protect me. Otherwise, the five million xuan coins will be wasted.”
He went to the Mountain Sea Devil Sect and offered five million xuan coins in order to get their protection.
This was his first precautionary step.
Whether it’s Luo Tian, who would kill his way back here one day, or someone who discovers the secret of his Heavenly Soul Capturing Pill. As long as he brings up the Mountain Sea Devil Sect as his backer, no one will dare to touch him. Even the Hai family has to think carefully about it. Ꞧ𝙖NồBƐ𝘴
—————
Boundless Mountain Range, Boundless Sect.
Inner sect.
“Let go of that resentful spirit! Let me do it!” Luo Tian shouted while stabbing out his Heaven Sword.
“Boom~!”
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for killing a Resentful Spirit. You have gained 50,000 experience points, 3000 yuan energy…”
Very rich in experience points.
Most of these resentful spirits were in the Great Diffusion realm, which was several small realms higher than his own. It is only natural that one would gain a lot more experience points when killing monsters beyond their level. Luo Tian’s experience bar went up by a big chunk after killing for half a day, making him feel extremely great.
Moreover, he barely had to make a move the entire time.
These friendly, resentful spirits were too awesome!
In no time at all, he took care of those malicious resentful spirits. Whenever Luo Tian sees one with only a little health left, he immediately pounces on it, killing it instantly. With experience points and yuan energy stacked on, he would then pounce on another malicious resentful spirit with very little health left.
“Don’t move!”
“Let me do it!”
In front of him, five resentful spirits had captured a malicious resentful spirit, holding it like those ancient times when a prisoner was torn in five directions by horses. Luo Tian jumped into the air and then came down, stabbing it with his sword.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian…”
He easily took away fifty thousand experience points.
The Second Elder and other resentful spirits had no idea what Luo Tian was doing.
Along the way, they couldn’t understand why Luo Tian had to kill all these malicious resentful spirits personally since there was no need to do so. They just needed to open a passage to the Boundless Main Hall, and he would rush in there. Seeing him running here and there, killing those malicious resentful spirits, was a waste of time.
They had no clue that Luo Tian was celebrating internally. Whenever he heard a system alert, he would laugh to himself, “Great! Awesome! Hahaha…”
“Let me do it! Let me do it!”
In mid-sentence, he would jump at a malicious resentful spirit and kill it.
On the first day, Luo Tian led this army of resentful spirits to cleanse the malicious resentful spirits on the martial arts training grounds of the inner courtyard.
Luo Tian’s experience bar reached a little over 80%.
On the second day, Luo Tian brought his army to continue killing.
He had easily leveled up to the Martial Void 3rd rank, and his experience bar was 40% full. Even though the experience points were lesser afterward, it was still quite awesome to level up in a single day.
After two days, a portion of the inner sect grounds was cleaned out.
During the nights, the Second Elder said the cultivation of those malicious resentful spirits would surge, so they could only hide at that time.
After these two days of contact, Luo Tian’s heart became more and more determined. He felt that it would be awesome to have such an army by his side to help him clear out demonic beasts. This was like his previous life, where those rich tycoons would spend money to hire a large group of gamers to help them level up. They only had to give the monster the final blow to reap all the experience points. Who could match that kind of speed when leveling up?
After thinking of his previous life, Luo Tian couldn’t help wondering, “I wonder if Earth has undergone any changes. Perhaps I would be able to go back there one day. I kind of miss it now.”
In reality, he was just missing those island action movies he used to watch. There were also those beautiful girls wearing short skirts and tight t-shirts to show off their figures. And the girls wearing bikinis strutting around on the beach. Just thinking about it made him excited.
“If I ever get the chance, I will definitely go back!” Luo Tian fantasized.
A quiet night went by.
The morning of the third day.
The Second Elder walked over to Luo Tian and said, “Next is the Mountain God Pavilion. This is the place where we might encounter the Third Elder, Feng Juechan. His soul was cursed, turning him into a malicious resentful spirit. He is very powerful, so you should hide the moment we encounter him. Your current cultivation base cannot withstand a single blow of his.”
“Uhhh…”
Luo Tian was faintly stunned before saying to himself, “So I’m going to encounter a mini-boss?”
He immediately replied, “Don’t worry, Second Elder. I will take care of myself.”
The Second Elder had a request in his eyes as he said, “If it’s possible, I hope that we don’t kill him. He’s my junior brother. He will never work for that spiritual body willingly, so it would be best that we find a way to remove the curse.”
Luo Tian then said, “Since you’ve said that out loud, I won’t make any reckless moves. But how are we supposed to remove his curse? And if we can’t purify the curse, what should we do?”
The Second Elder was mindful of their sect’s brotherhood, so he paused in thought. Eventually, he said, “If we can’t purify him, then it will be up to you on what we do.”
“En~!”
“I know what to do.” Luo Tian replied, but said to himself, “I will definitely kill him if I can. If I can’t, then we’ll talk later.”
How plentiful was the experience from a mini-boss?
Something good might even explode from the guy, so how can one bear to not kill?
Whoever says they won’t kill must have shit for brains.
He came here for the experience points, or else why the hell would he be in such a dangerous place?
The army set off toward the Mountain God Pavilion.
The moment they stepped into the territory of the Mountain God Pavilion, a loud shout came out from a building. “Where did these dogs come from?! You dare to provoke my Mountain God Pavilion?! Are you guys trying to court death?!”
The Second Elder stepped forward with a heavy heart and said, “Third Junior Brother, it’s not too late to turn back. We have found someone that can save us.”
“Humph~! Old Bastard, who is your Third Junior Brother?!”
“How can a dog like you be qualified to be my fellow disciple? My soul already belongs to the Soul Splitting King, and I am his most loyal servant. Today, since you dare to bring people into the territory of my Mountain God Pavilion, I will make sure none of you ever return.” Feng Juechan said coldly.
The Second Elder sighed before saying, “Let’s kill him.”
Luo Tian was briefly dumbstruck before asking in confusion, “This is considered purifying him?”
The Second Elder nodded, “That’s right. Since he won’t listen to my persuasion, then it’s no longer up to me.”
Luo Tian was floored by the response.
Saying a few fucking words was considered purification? Is it because their level was too high, and I can’t understand it?
His testicles were aching.
But this was fine too. To Luo Tian, being unable to purify him was a good thing because he didn’t want the chance of getting experience points slip by. And this was a mini-boss we’re talking about.
Immediately after, there was a deep shout before dark resentful spirits appeared out of thin air in the square outside the Mountain God Pavilion. They were all extremely ferocious-looking. Unlike the Second Elder and the others, these dark resentful spirits gave off an aura that had a trace of darkness.
The Second Elder raised his arm and shouted, “Kill!”
A huge battle instantly broke out.
The moment the Second Elder shouted kill, Luo Tian quickly retreated backward.
Any of these resentful spirits in front of him could take his little life. The lowest of these resentful spirits were at the peak of the Martial Void realm, and most were in the Great Diffusion realm. In this chaotic situation, it is best for him to hide on the sidelines and take advantage of the confusion.
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
Deafening sounds of collision kept going off.
The sound of fighting filled the air.
They all looked like they had gone berserk with their fighting.
No one was holding back their strength.
The main reason is that they couldn’t really kill each other in this battle. They can feel pain though, and there were plenty of resentful spirits writhing in pain once they went down. And the pain that they can endure was already a hundred times that of ordinary people.
Just a small cut inflicted pain beyond words.
Because these were spiritual bodies, they wouldn’t completely die.
But Luo Tian’s attack somehow managed to kill them.
When Luo Tian saw a dark resentful spirit on the ground, he pounced over like a rabid dog and grinned, “Heh heh, you can die for me.”
Heaven Sword slashed down.
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
The system alerts kept going off, and Luo Tian’s experience bar started soaring again. Hearing this joyful tone and seeing a bunch of dark resentful spirits on the ground, he started laughing, “Hahaha, time to harvest these points!”
With Heaven Sword in his hand, he slashed down whenever he saw a dark resentful spirit on the verge of death.
He would run after slashing them, faster than anyone had seen!
Luo Tian suddenly saw the sky darken and shouted to himself, “Not good!”
“Wahaha…”
A powerful killing intent exploded from the Mountain God Pavilion.
The Second Elder shouted, “Little Brother Luo! Watch out! His target is you!”
“Oh fuck!” Luo Tian’s heart tightened as he cursed out.
He looked all around, but he couldn’t see any movements. However, he felt like he was being stared at by a pair of eyes as if he was completely naked. This feeling was very uncomfortable.
“Die for me!”
A shout suddenly came from the Mountain God Pavilion, and a dark shadow rushed out like lightning.
At the same time, the Second Elder made his move. However, he was held back by several dark resentful spirits, so his reaction time wasn’t fast enough. He exclaimed in anxiety, “Oh no, he’s going to die!”
Feng Juechan’s cultivation was at the peak of the Myriad Illusion 3rd rank.
Killing Luo Tian, who was only in the Martial Void realm, was simply too easy.
Moreover, he was using a killing move the moment he came out, not giving Luo Tian any chance of surviving.
“Watch out!”
“Be on guard!”
Several shouts came from the crowd.
At this moment, their hearts tightened, and they even forgot to fight. If Luo Tian were to die, they wouldn’t be able to enter the Boundless Main Hall even if they killed their way there.
The power released by the Soul Splitting Sword can instantly kill them all, reducing their sliver of a chance to enter the cycle of reincarnation to nothing.
Luo Tian’s reaction wasn’t that fast. No matter how fast he was, would his speed catch up to an expert in the Myriad Illusion realm?
However, maybe it was his good character, or maybe it was those god-like reflexes during the time when he was a gamer in his previous life, but he had already locked onto Feng Juechan the moment his dark shadow flashed out from the Mountain God Pavilion. God Flame shot out purely on reflex.
A fireball shot out from the center of his palm.
An unremarkable flame, just like a small ball of fire.
The Second Elder’s heart sank as he couldn’t reach Luo Tian in time.
The friendly resentful spirits all felt their hearts die.
The only chance they were looking forward to in the past ten thousand years was about to be crushed.
Some of the resentful spirits started scolding, “I knew that kid couldn’t be counted on! What can he do with his low cultivation base? Yet somehow, we stupidly followed him here to fight these dark resentful spirits. And who knows what he’s up to, always trying to be the one to kill these dark resentful spirits.”
“Sigh~, he doesn’t even know the immensity of heaven and earth.”
“He’s going to die, and our hope will be extinguished.”
“We shouldn’t have followed him to mess around. He’s just a kid. What kind of plan would he have to go against the Soul Splitting King? He can’t even block a single move from Feng Juechan.”
“It’s good for him to die here, or else his reckless behavior might drag others down with him in the future.”
At the same time, Feng Juechan looked at the flame and sneered, “Old Bastard, is this the person you said would save our souls? Hahaha… How dare such a piece of trash attack me! He’s just courting his own death!”
Luo Tian didn’t move, his mind already had a transformation card ready.
If God Flame’s instant kill ability isn’t triggered, he will immediately use the transformation card. He didn’t have any other abilities that could block Feng Juechan, who was in the Myriad Illusion realm. The Second Elder had already slowed down, thinking he had failed. If he didn’t use the transformation card, he still wouldn’t be able to block the next attack after interrupting the first one.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Juechan flicked his sleeves at God Flame with disdain on his face. “You want to injure me with this kind of fire marital skill? What a joke!”
However, God Flame wasn’t swept away.
The moment he flicked his arm, the flame went past it and smashed into his chest.
Feng Juechan was a bit surprised, but his face still had disdain on it. Even if he was hit, the damage wouldn’t be able to even hurt a hair on him. All because his cultivation was much higher than Luo Tian’s. No matter how strong the martial skill is, there still is a large gap in cultivation bases between them.
What he didn’t know was that his thoughts were wrong.
Wrong to the point of losing his pants.
Feng Juechan harrumphed before saying, “What can a little ball of flame do to me…”
Before he could finish speaking, God Flame drilled inside his body.
His body started cracking apart with lava-like fire dripping out.
A glint flashed in Luo Tian’s eyes. He was originally very nervous but was now arrogantly shouting, “Your sister! Let’s see how arrogant you are! Keep acting arrogant for this daddy, you son of a bitch!”
His voice was full of vigor.
Seeing Feng Juechan’s body crack apart, Luo Tian instantly knew that God Flame’s instant kill ability had been triggered.
Feng Juechan’s eyes were filled with terror as he howled, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I have an undying body! The Soul Splitting King gave me an immortal body! I will not die! I will never die…”
His expression was no longer filled with disdain and was replaced with fear.
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Juechan’s body blew up.
“Boom~!”
His body became powder without leaving any residue behind.
An unremarkable flame was able to instantly kill Feng Juechan, a Myriad Illusion ranker. If the Second Elder hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it. The shocked, resentful spirits were so dumbstruck that they couldn’t even say a word.
Luo Tian didn’t pay attention to their expression and was saying internally with anticipation, “Explode! Explode! Give me a big loot explosion!”
“Ding!”
