301 Illuminate’s Bai Li
“What race is this?” Xu Qing spoke while retreating.
“The world of Wanggu is too large. There are all kinds of races. This seems to be a type of worm race. I vaguely remember reading about them in a file in the Intelligence Department. Let me think about it.”
The captain looked a little puzzled but he also retreated.
Seeing Xu Qing and the captain fleeing, the nonhuman formed from the Starfish Race’s patriarch’s body grinned and his body suddenly swayed.
Xu Qing’s expression darkened and the captain’s eyes narrowed. However, with their speed, it was difficult for them to escape in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Xu Qing only felt his vision blur and an instant later, a rumbling sound rang out. Divine power rushed at his face and an irresistible force surged. His entire body shook violently and he spat out a mouthful of blood. It was the same for the captain.
However, with the protection of Xu Qing’s pendant, although they were thrown a thousand feet away by the divine power, they were still fine. It was just that the internal organs in their bodies were churning as though they were being torn apart. If the other party continued to attack, the pendant’s protection wouldn’t be able to last for long.
Just as the nonhuman figure was about to attack again, the sky rumbled and blue flames suddenly fell, blocking the nonhuman.
The sea of blue flames from the sky had killed a large number of the people on the Starfish Race’s island.
However, when these Starfish Race’s members died, thread-like worms would crawl out of their corpses. This strange scene had long attracted the attention of the Sixth Peak’s disciples and Lord Sixth.
The scene of the Starfish Race’s patriarch transforming was naturally seen by Lord Sixth. Hence, after suppressing the Starfish Race’s ancestor with a slap, he performed a series of hand seals and attacked, causing the blue sea of fire to descend to stop the nonhuman.
“He’s from the Iron Thread Race!” At the same time, Lord Sixth’s voice spread in all directions.
When the captain heard these three words, his expression changed and he quickly spoke in a low voice.
“Xu Qing, I remember now…”
The nonhuman who wanted to torture and kill Xu Qing and the captain lifted its head and looked at the sky when it heard this. It suddenly smiled.
“It seems I’ve underestimated the sects here a little. However, you’re just a Nascent Soul cultivator. Are you even worthy of disturbing my cultivation?” The nonhuman raised its right hand and pointed at the sky.
Immediately, the weather changed and the sound of war drums and thunder rang out from the sky. The rumbling sound was like the roar of a god. The instant it spread, three huge array formation halos appeared in the sky.
Each of these three array formation halos was a thousand feet long and emitted vast might. An astonishing teleportation power erupted from them.
Figures appeared from these three teleportation arrays.
What appeared from the first teleportation array was a group of nonhuman cultivators with wings on their backs. They were pitch-black and looked like crows.
Their appearance was imposing and ferocious, especially the one at the front. Its gaze was like lightning and its entire body emitted terrifying fluctuations of Nascent Soul cultivation.
This wasn’t the end. Amidst the rumbling of the second teleportation array, another large group of figures appeared. They all had human bodies and elephant noses. Every one of them was extremely tall and emitted dense vitality.
The burly man in front also emitted the fluctuations of a Nascent Soul cultivator. His expression was sinister and incomparably savage.
The third teleportation array was also the same. At this moment, as it rumbled and rotated, a large number of figures flew out wildly. Their appearances were even stranger, like seaweed with triangular eyes. Just their movements alone stirred up a terrifying storm.
Nascent Soul fluctuation also spread from the group.
As soon as these three races appeared, the eyes of the captain beside Xu Qing narrowed slightly.
“Six-Winged Black Crow Race, Strength Elephant Cloud Race, and Snake Grass Demon Plant Race!”
“These three races aren’t large races and are on the same scale as the Starfish Race. Among them, the Six-Winged Black Crow Race is an ally of the Seven Blood Eyes. The other two races are neutral.”
The three great races didn’t say a word and directly headed straight for Lord Sixth. Many of their members even slammed into the Sixth Peak’s mountain!
They didn’t fear death and wanted to use their lives to shake the mountain. If one took a closer look, they would see thread-like bugs flashing past their eyes.
These three races, including the Starfish Race, were all controlled!
Lord Sixth was covered from all sides. Xu Qing sped up again and the captain also moved at full speed. If it was an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, they could still give it a try, but the other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator. This wasn’t something they could resist.
Even though there was the calligraphy from the ancestor, unless it was a critical moment, it was better to use it as a deterrent.
“I want to see how many times your protection can withstand my attacks.”
The Nascent Soul nonhuman smiled faintly and was about to chase after them when the captain suddenly turned his head and stared at the nonhuman.
“You’re Bai Li!”
“Iron Thread Race’s Bai Li!”
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed and the nonhuman Nascent Soul exclaimed in surprise.
He found it interesting when he was called out by the Sixth Peak’s Peak Lord and felt that the other party had some knowledge. However, he found it unbelievable for his name to be called out by a low-level cultivator.
“I really didn’t expect someone in this small place to know me. You’re quite interesting.”
“Sixty years ago, the Iron Thread Race’s Bai Li was a peerless genius. He was known as the chosen seed who would walk the path of the ancient kings and sovereigns.”
“For some reason, he suddenly rebelled. Not only did he kill his blood relatives, but he also caused chaos in the race. He tainted the Iron Thread Race’s holy item and caused a calamity, causing the deaths of countless clansmen. He then defected and joined a mysterious organization called Illuminate!”
The captain slowly spoke.
“Interesting. You know quite a lot. Let me search your soul and see what else you know.”
Bai Li’s expression was filled with surprise. He took a step forward and neared the captain. The captain’s eyes flickered with blue light and Xu Qing also revealed madness as he took out the ancestor’s calligraphy.
Just as they were about to attack, a cold snort rang out from the sky.
This snort was louder than thunder and rumbled in all directions. The instant it rang out, a wine gourd suddenly rose above Lord Sixth’s head.
This wine gourd was something he had never let go of since the death of his wife and son.
As soon as it appeared, streams of sharp baleful aura soared into the sky. They transformed into shadows of weapons that quickly manifested and shot out in all directions.
These weapons were all-encompassing; there were sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks everywhere. There were probably no less than a million of them and they formed a sea of weapons that destroyed everything in its path.
It suppressed the three races.
The Nascent Soul ancestors of the three races summoned by Bai Li were attacked by the sea of weapons and had nowhere to dodge. All of them spat out blood and let out mournful cries as their bodies were heavily injured.
The members of the three races were also heavily injured. Under the impact of the sea of weapons and the baleful aura, their minds trembled and their expressions changed drastically.
Most of their bodies shattered or were dismembered. Although the remaining ones didn’t die immediately, they clearly couldn’t hold on for long and their bodies began to show signs of heavy damages.
In fact, there was even a gaze that vaguely appeared in the gourd. It looked at the nonhuman races with extreme ferocity and disdain.
Boom!
Clouds parted in the sky and the sea of weapons fell down in torrents. All the nonhumans in the air were in an extremely tragic state.
As though he felt that it wasn’t enough, Lord Sixth performed a series of hand seals and pointed at the Sixth Peak.
Immediately, the flames of the Sixth Peak swept in all directions, completely enveloping the Starfish Race’s land and all the fallen members of the three races.
Burn everything and speed up the refinement.
“What magic artifact is this? There’s so much metal-element baleful aura!!” For the first time, Bai Li’s expression changed.
At that moment, he couldn’t be bothered to kill Xu Qing and the captain. His body swayed and he disappeared. However, it was obvious that teleportation here was restricted. He didn’t appear far away, and only appeared in mid-air. His expression changed and he tried to escape.
“I was thinking about it previously. With how weak the Starfish Race is, how would they have the guts to do such a big thing? So it turns out that the mastermind behind it is a bastard from Illuminate which is active in the Wanggu Continent!”
Lord Sixth’s voice was filled with anger and killing intent. With a wave of his hand, the wine gourd above his head instantly formed a baleful aura storm that swept toward Bai Li.
Bai Li’s heart trembled. Just as he was about to escape, Lord Sixth had already approached on the waves of weapons and sent a palm strike.
Bai Li, who realized that he couldn’t escape, revealed a demonic glint in his eyes. He turned around and attacked, fighting against Lord Sixth in the sky.
The attacks of the two people shook the sky and earth. The sounds from their attacks were deafening and spread in all directions, causing the surrounding cultivators who were watching to have no choice but to retreat far away.
Xu Qing’s expression was solemn. With the protection of the pendant, he stared at the battle.
At the side, the captain suddenly laughed. As he laughed, his eyes were filled with madness and greed.
“I didn’t expect to encounter the legendary Illuminate here… I heard that every member of this organization isn’t simple.”
Xu Qing glanced at the captain.
“Illuminate is an extremely mysterious organization in the Wanggu Continent. It was born less than a thousand years ago and all the members are true heaven’s chosen of the various races. The secret scroll of the Intelligence Department recorded that this organization announced to the outside world that they would share the opportunity to become a god to those who joined them. The condition for joining is to perform a blood performance on their race. The better this performance is, the more they will be recognized by Illuminate.”
“I heard that many years ago, someone in the Nanhuang Continent actually used the god opening His eyes as a performance and joined Illuminate.” The captain smiled and looked at Xu Qing.
“It’s a pity that they didn’t look for me. Otherwise, I really would have joined in to take a look at what the opportunity to become a god is. Could it be a path of ancient kings and sovereigns, or is it truly becoming a god?”
“I don’t believe it…”
“I don’t believe it either.” Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and touched the calligraphy. He then looked at Bai Li, who was fighting in the sky.
