Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“What a spectacular starting battle! By using solely spiritual techniques, he was able to fight on the same level as the ant cultivator, interesting, interesting. As expected, Zong Shou is a little extraordinary. I did underestimate him a little before...”

10 miles away from where the explosion suddenly sounded out at, a young male laughed continuously. Only that voice was filled with a dark and cold intent.

Beside him stood a person who was tall and wearing a white dress. However, the sleeves on her left were floating, filled with black red dried up blood. One could see bits of fresh blood seeping out, dyeing the sleeves red. Her pretty face was ashen white. It was Xiong Yu who Zong Shou saw from afar not long ago.

She was originally quietly healing her wounds in this place, however, Zong Shou’s fire and water spiral energy was too vicious. She was still unable to heal the wound at where the hand broke.

At this moment she stood up and looked out into the distance, showing a surprised look. As compared to not long ago when Zong Shou defeated Long Ruo and the other 2, she wasn’t any less surprised.

After all, at that moment, Zong Shou relied on Dragon Shadow’s power. However, at this moment Zong Shou was relying totally on his strength to go up against this Ant Zhenren.

Thinking carefully for a moment, Xiong Yu suddenly spoke, “In Prince Lihan’s view, which one of the 2 would win?”

“It is tough to say who! That Ant Zhenren’s trump card hasn’t come out and the demon fire crystal ants that appeared shouldn’t be even half his amount. As for that Zong Shou, he is probably also keeping a large portion of his strength. This person’s sword path is connected to the spirit and although his martial path cultivation is only at the martial ancestor level, his martial skills are extremely strong. Below the ascended realm he is probably the top few. Zong Shou would probably lose this battle, his chances are around 20%. However, I think that even if he lost he would have trump cards for him to escape. There is even a probability that he would be able to heavily injure Ant Zhenren and it might be unavoidable for both sides to be badly hurt...”

The young prince looked expressionlessly at Xiong Yu before scoffing coldly, “I know that you want to kill him, no worries! This chance is hard to come by. If there is a chance I will aid you. Coincidentally I am interested in that Ant Zhenren’s ant queen. Such a top spiritual pet in his hands is the destruction of a treasure!”

When he said that, Lihan’s gaze shone brightly, “Zong Shou’s wealth is said to be not bad. I have also wanted the seven-star spell altar for a long time. The heaven and earth bags of Long Ruo and the other 2 must be in their hands. I am a little curious what that Ant Zhenren wants such that he is going all out and even be willing to offend Dragon Shadow...”

Whilst he spoke, he seemed like he already saw that Ant Zhenren and Zong Shou as people in his pockets.

Xiong Yu wasn’t surprised, her eyes lighting up, she knew that the ability of this Lihan might not be better than Long Ruo but he was stronger than Han Nishui. Just as she wanted to thank him, he saw his gaze turn to become ice cold.

“However you need to personally attack. It should have nothing to do with my Ling Lie Li family. If anything messes up I will take your life!”

Xiong Yu’s heart instantly calmed down by a little. She knew what Lihan meant. Zong Shou’s identity was special, the ruler of a country. The Li family was a bunch of cultivators and didn’t want to personally dip their hands in blood. He also didn’t want to offend Dragon Shadow old man because of her.

But this was as she expected. If she wanted revenge and wanted to keep Blazing Flame Mountain, she needed to pay some price.

There were many things in the world that Lie Ling Li family had their hands and legs bounded and were inconvenient to participate in. However, it was okay for normal people like them to handle it. This was also the reason why the Li family would join hands with Blazing Flame mountain.

Just as her heart turned cold and solemn and killing intent rose up. Xiong Yu felt a fragrance move towards her nose before she could react it drilled into her lungs.

She subconsciously wanted to dispel it but a moment later she felt her mind being refreshed, even her injuries seemed to become better.

She frowned. She looked towards where the fragrance came from. She saw from tens of miles away, on Zong Shou’s altar several incense sticks.

In the next instance, he heard Lihan say, “Interesting! This fragrance can increase one’s soul power and keep one awake and focused, it is not bad. To use it to fight can cause one to keep calm. Who knows where Zong Shou found it from. It is a good thing, was it something Li Yuandan crafted?”

Whilst he spoke Lihan took in a deep breath like he was enjoying it...

Xiong Yu’s heart was originally a little wary but now it had all disappeared as she stopped bothering about it. She turned her attention once more to tens of miles away.

A moment later she felt a little weird. At the start, it was still okay when she just smelled the fragrance. But as time went on she only felt disgusted, who knows what was the reason for that.

...

“I have underestimated you...”

The same words spat out from the mouth of Ant Zhenren. Just as the seven-star spell altar charged forwards ten miles once more, that Ant Zhenren’s body once again appeared in front of the altar.

A few six-winged flying ants still circled him. However this time he didn’t attack to stop. Instead, he opened his mouth and gave out an extremely weird whistle that had sort of a melody to it.

Following which the ground layer started to roll and flip, numerous demon fire crystal ants made their way up from below.

The ant swarm which had reduced to 40 thousand had within that instance increased to 120 thousand in number!

A portion of them started to swallow at one another and eat each other’s blood and meat. In just tens of breaths, there were ten huge beast crystals which started to swell up. The vast demon fire spread tens of miles, blocking the route towards the cloud ocean.

They also tightly forced their way towards where the spell altar was at.

The eyes of the Ant Zhenren was also filled with disdain. It was like he was saying that you could kill one, you could kill 2, but could you kill the 10th one?

The demon fire crystal ants here numbers in the tens of thousands, could he possibly kill them all?

Goosebumps rose up from all over Zong Shou’s body. Even Zong Yuan frowned tightly as his gaze tried to avoid the area below.

Numerous crystal ants crawled about like waves in an ocean, there was also the disgusting scenes of them swallowing one another, it was indeed not a nice feeling.

However, for some reason, their expressions were relaxed, like they heaved out a sigh of relief.

Without hesitating Zong Shou drove the spell altar to frenziedly retreat. With the thousand-year peach wood sword helping out, any crystal ant that dared to get close was instantly killed.

However, the giant crystal ants were a little faster. In just a moment they had already caught up and tightly surrounded the seven-star spell altar. Demon fire surging up into the sky and forming locking chains with one another, totally locking down the surrounding area using flames.

There were ten thousand feet between them but Zong Shou could feel the shocking flame strength which could burn top-grade spiritual weapons.

Before this, the invincible thousand-year peach wood sword couldn’t even get close now.

Ant Zhenren’s face started to flush red. Who knows was it because he had consumed too much soul power, he said coldly, “I will give you one last chance, hand over those things. Although I am unwilling to offend Dragon Shadow old man, if I have no choice, I will still kill you! Your highness, consider things well and give me a reply in 20 breaths...”

Zong Shou acted like he didn’t hear anything as he looked around. At this moment he had no way to retreat and he had no way to delay any more time.

He looked at the 4 pillars of hundred-mile quiet scent that was burning. At this moment, half of it was burnt up.

The time was more or less reached.

A cold glimmer flashed across his eyes. Following which Zong Shou smiled. On the 5th breath, he shook his head, “I don’t need 20 breaths, I can give you an answer now.”

A sword light charged out of the center of his brows and landed in the fire yin sword by his waist. The sword instantly flew into the air and charged into the sky. Different from usual, at this moment his soul had come out of his body and directly using the main soul of his body to pilot this grade 8 spiritual weapon!

Before this the soul power which he tried his best to conserve was crazily burning like it was free, providing huge amounts of strength.

With a flash he charged into the demon fire, one change of direction and a giant-sized crystal ant was slain from within.

By directly using the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique to absorb, the essence energy of the giant-sized crystal ant was absorbed. Then, with an extremely sharp spin, he sliced towards where Ant Zhenren was at. On the sword body suddenly a dragon roar sounded out and a full nine dragon shadows circled on the sword body.

Ant Zhenren wasn’t shocked but delighted instead. Although he was astonished by the extremely sharp sword from Zong Shou, he didn’t care. Coldly smiling, “You are finally willing to come out!”

With a thought, the few six-winged the around him shifted forwards. Hundreds of soldier ants closed in towards him like a giant shield.

Not far away, outside of the spell altar, thousands of flying ants crazily started to strike. It stopped throwing those normal ants and just directly dove down.

Even those grade 6 six-winged flying ants and silver-colored soldier ants were mixed within. Their mouths were pointed was at Zong Shou’s body who was sitting numbly on the floor of the spell altar.

However just as Ant Zhenren’s face turned to joy⁠—as the ant wave was about to smash into the flying knife formation around the altar⁠—he saw the six-winged flying ants within and all the demon fire crystal ants, no matter what their grade, stumble like they were devoid of energy.

The lightning winged flood dragon which had always been circling the spell altar’s aura grew greatly as the lightning around it increased by ten times, with one spit, it swept hundreds of the nearby crystal ants. Those petite flying ants were unable to avoid or retreat. They were pretty much there to be slaughtered, in an instant, they were all cleared out.

Even the soldier ants in front of him were the same. Not only were their flying speeds reduced, some of them even directly fell to the ground. That huge shield directly collapsed.

Hu Zhenren’s face couldn’t help but change color. When he tried to raise some soul power he felt an unusual disgust in his chest. He was astonished.

“You used poison?”
