Chapter 772: Chapter 772: Storm Clouds
The mountainous region teemed with people, shadowy figures abound, many had come, trembling in unison at this time.
Countless voices shouted aloud, their excitement unabated.
This cacophony, these roars, echoed through the mountains, exceedingly loud, reaching the heavens, for the battle just fought was astonishingly stirring to the heart.
In mid-air, fragments of golden lightning had yet to dissipate, while on the ground, specks of blood remained so red and bright, striking fear into all who beheld it.
Not to mention the scene of Yulun’s killing, the might of that final spear alone had deeply imprinted itself in everyone’s minds, indelible even after many years.
A spear that shocked the heavens, pierced through one of the six elites, brutally Suppression Killed in midflight, with a spray of blood rain.
How astounding was this?
The youth atop the mountain had not moved a single step, had not descended, and without further bloodshed or fighting, thus ended the battle!
Resolute courage!
Some people trembled lightly, very unwilling to acknowledge it, but couldn’t help but roar out—the successor of the Supreme Dao Ground was extraordinary and sanctified, terrifying to the point of awe.
Amidst the tumultuous mountainside, students of the Celestial Immortal Academy and disciples of other schools were unable to remain calm, the atmosphere boiling over.
Ding!
The sound was crisp, like gold striking stone.
On the mountain, a red bone fragment fell.
This was what remained after Yulun was torn asunder; it was half a foot long, bright red, with Bone Text inscribed within.
Shi Hao’s pupils constricted; this item made his heart palpitate, and he sensed something was amiss—this was no ordinary object.
“Celestial God Talisman!” He finally recognized it. This was a treasure, definitely a fearsome weapon. If its power were unleashed, likely even a True God would be in peril.
Yulun was too conceited, wielding the Sky Art Halberd and soaring through the skies, wishing to cleave Shi Hao to death before his mount, without managing to utilize this Talismanic Seal.
Shi Hao picked it up, examining it closely.
It was as red as jade, the size of a palm, with overlapping symbols densely packed and engraved in the bone that resembled jade, emanating a mysterious aura.
Yulun was truly extraordinary, deeply favored by a Celestial God, bestowed with such a lethal Talismanic Seal. Had it been an ordinary person who encountered it, they were destined to die with bitter resentment.
Shi Hao was not afraid either, for he possessed protective talismans. He believed he could withstand it, but realized it would likely consume the inscriptions of his own talisman, which would be troublesome.
“You really are unlucky, not having had the chance to sacrifice it, all because arrogance invited disaster.” Shi Hao muttered to himself and pocketed the red talisman.
“Is it over just like that?”
After a long while, many were still in disbelief. Such a powerful Yulun, who rode into the sky, merging with his mount, displaying dazzling sacred light and showcasing astonishing might, was unexpectedly speared down!
In front of the mountain gate, the young man’s golden armor vanished, returning to softness and tranquility, appearing refined and transcendental—a stark contrast to when he delivered a heaven-shaking strike.
His charisma made an indelible impression—radiant and warlike when in motion, overlooking the masses; when serene, he was as ethereal and graceful as a maiden.
“Two of the six elites died just like that, simultaneously slain in the blink of an eye… this is piercing the heavens, a sensational event that will shock everyone!” someone exclaimed, their face pale.
At this moment, everyone awakened to the realization that, though the battle had ended, its impact and consequences were just beginning to unfold, fermenting into a storm.
How could the Celestials Clan be willing to accept this? They had lost two great heirs in one go, both touted as the most exceptional in their lineage. Everyone knew, this matter was far from over.
Especially given the recent adversities faced by the Celestials Clan, with Desolate’s appearance causing them humiliation and distress, the situation was likely to erupt in fury against this backdrop.
“The once imperial family, beset with incidents recently, I believe they will be enraged!”
“The Celestials Clan is really unlucky. Challenged by Desolate is one thing, but now there’s the big senior brother, who has cut down their esteemed heir…”
People showed various reactions; lately, the luck of the Celestials Clan was indeed wanting.
At the same time, some sighed lightly, acknowledging that the glory of the former imperial family had faded, no longer able to suppress the world as before.
Suddenly, the news spread far and wide.
“What, Yulun is dead?!”
At the Celestial Immortal Academy, people were dumbfounded upon hearing the news. Just how long had it been since that talented youth in white rode away, and so quickly… he had fallen.
Not long ago, he uttered bold words, asking someone to warm the wine and wait for his return, aiming to decapitate the successor of that small mountain gate, yet his own head was left behind.
“Impossible!” The Celestials Clan received the news, with widened eyes, they abruptly stood up, staring angrily at the messenger.
It wasn’t just Yulun; another one of the elites had died, speared and exploded midair. This shocking news spread through the Celestial Immortal Academy and alarmed various clans.
This was a huge upheaval; elites from various schools who came here for exchanges and discussions stirred up a buzz.
Only the Celestials Clan members stood in shock, unable to accept it!
“Quick, tell brother You Yu to stop discussing Human Immortal Relics with Feng Wu!” someone shouted.
The Celestial Immortal Academy was in complete chaos, everyone seeking details, everything tossed into disorder.
In front of the overgrown mountain gate, Shi Hao gazed below and muttered to himself, “I can almost feel the higher-ups of the Celestials Clan grieving, their six elites incomplete, to be mourned.”
Everyone’s heart pounded wildly. This run-down mountain gate, which was once denounced by everyone in the higher realms and now infamous, suddenly produced such an individual.
People sensed that this place was on the cusp of great turmoil!
Apart from the Celestials Clan, it’s likely that other schools would also send people here.
“I feel… he doesn’t seem like a villain, looking so refined and agile. How could he have such a bad reputation?”
A female student whispered in discussion.
“It’s because of the stigma from his martial sect; in reality, he’s not a person of great evil.”
…
In the depths of the Fire Province Prairie.
A white unicorn was drinking water. After a heavy rain, a lake had formed from the destroyed Celestials Clan’s Divine Mine, with Divine Material shattered, merging into it, emitting light.
A True God looked at the auspicious animal in the distance and thought of something, his heart stirred, and he reported to Celestial God Mo Luo.
“My lord, there is a unicorn of Celestial God level on the Fire Province Prairie, commanding various wild horses and mount beasts.”
“What are you trying to say?” Mo Luo asked indifferently.
“It is said that the Celestial God not only has Pegasus hooves but also has grown a Spirit Communication jade horn, able to sense many inexplicable things. If the lord invites it, maybe it can detect some clues.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Luo was slightly startled, nodded, and then asked, “What other figures are there on this prairie that are worth visiting?”
“There’s also an old wolf, also a Celestial God, leading countless prairie wolves with footprints all over the place. If we can persuade it, perhaps we can truly find Desolate,” another person replied.
However, the temperament of the Celestial Wolf is peculiar, cruel and irascible, usually not accommodating, and its whereabouts are unpredictable.
“Good, the two of us will go and visit each one. No matter the cost, we must find that youth. We cannot tolerate him living another day!” Mo Luo said with a cold tone.
Clearly, even two great Celestial Gods are a bit anxious. For the Dao Protector to make such a choice proves one thing – he foresaw an extremely grim future, and therefore, he wants to divine and eliminate Shi Hao using the last of his life.
Just a youth – is he really that terrifying? Making even the taboo figures uneasy in their late years, instilling fear, naturally made Mo Luo and the others restless.
The two great Celestial Gods took action, first heading to the Unicorn Sacred Mountain, then entering the wolf den, inviting the two tribes.
The prairie wolves are a very terrifying force because there are just too many, from the lowest-ranked wild wolves to the Venerable Realm, to the Divine Fire Realm, and then to the True God Realm, they’re all there.
This is a vast group, one that nobody wishes to provoke.
“My lord, the unicorn has Spirit Communication, and the wolf clan has also found some clues. Putting them together, we might really find Desolate!” In just half a day, a strong being from the Divine Fire Realm came to report.
“Where is the target?”
Around the two great Celestial Gods, hundreds of black fissures appeared in the void, their expressions solemn!
“Not deep in the prairie, we need to pull back!”
The wolf clan is fearsome, with a huge number. They once discovered Shi Hao’s traces and pointed out a general direction. Although not very precise, it’s mostly correct.
And it should be accurate with the confirmation from the unicorn’s Divine Horn.
The Celestials Clan slowly retreated, moving towards the rear, spreading out their Heavenly Net, determined to capture and kill Shi Hao. They must achieve this before the Dao Protector arrives, otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.
At this point, the winds and clouds began to shift from Fire Province towards Celestial Immortal State.
In Celestial Immortal Academy, You Yu was disturbed. His gaze was cold as he stared at his clansmen, in silence for a long time.
“We tried to stop Yulun, but he wouldn’t listen!” someone said, with a hint of fear.
“Fools, a disgrace. If going there meant killing that person, it would’ve been fine, but instead ending in utter defeat, damaging our clan’s reputation!” You Yu’s voice was ice-cold.
Earlier, he had warned his clansmen that during these troubled times, they should refrain from acting rashly to avoid disrupting the high-ranked members of their clan.
And yet, such an incident still occurred!
“Don’t blame them now. The main problem is that so-called eldest senior brother being too insolent. With Yulun being young and hot-blooded, how could he tolerate someone incapacitating our clan’s experts, he had to seek justice himself,” an elder spoke.
“I originally intended to fight Desolate, but now I have to go to a dilapidated small sect.” You Yu spoke, with his purple hair, tall and strong frame, his eyes bright like divine lamps, radiant, and bearing a striking presence.
Now he was forced to take action, or what face would the Celestials Clan have left? If this generation couldn’t suppress even a disciple of a broken-down sect, they wouldn’t be fit to be called an imperial family.
The disgrace has been formed, and it is only through the actions of their generation to flatten that sect and restore their honor.
Otherwise, if they have to rely on members of the Celestials Clan like True Gods to act, it would make the Celestials seem even more incompetent.
But as You Yu prepares to move, how could there not be experts accompanying him? After all, he and Yun Xi are quite special, having fused with the Heavenly Destiny Stone; they are the hope of their clan.
As the news broke out, Celestial Immortal Academy was in an uproar.
The number one young powerhouse of the Celestials Clan was moving to challenge the Supreme Dao Ground’s eldest senior brother!
And not only that, but various other exceptional youths of the Celestials Clan were also joining the journey, all heading towards that dilapidated sect.
This incident had a tremendous impact. What kind of person is You Yu? Being Primordial, then having fused with the Heavenly Destiny Stone, and additionally having king’s bloodline flowing within him, his achievements overshadowed his peers!
“Major event, You Yu is making a move, going to Suppression Kill the eldest senior brother!”
This was like a storm sweeping through Celestial Immortal Academy.
In fact, it was more than that – some students swiftly used the transport formation to inform their families, a young supreme like this going on a killing spree was definitely worth watching.
Especially for some great clans, those aspiring to compete in the Three Thousand States talent showdowns and vie for creation, they must understand the details of such a peerless individual.
Under normal circumstances, how could they have such an opportunity?
Obviously, there will be Primordial figures coming, and other young supremes will appear, all set to witness this battle!
“The Celestials Clan on the Fire Province Prairie will probably receive the news too, I wonder what kind of reaction they will have?” someone whispered softly.
In fact, they were currently retreating, the storm was heading towards Celestial Immortal State! (To be continued.
