Chapter 43: Don’t Panic, Slide Under It In the beginning, only heretic cultivators who were nearing the end of their lifespans came to challenge the Evil King’s palace. However, later on, even young and hot-blooded heretic cultivators decided to participate in the challenge.
The prestige of the evil imperial court plummeted.
Of course, no one who challenged the evil imperial court’s prestige made it out alive.
They all came with the intention of dying.
Yet for some reason, friends of those who challenged the evil imperial court felt honored.
“Do you know who this lord is? Let me tell you, the one who barged into the Evil King’s palace the other day is my senior brother. Do you understand?”
The heretic cultivators were all proud to have a friend who had barged into the Evil King’s palace. They clearly felt that it was something worth bragging about.
There were even people who encouraged their friends to barge into the Evil King’s palace.
Soon, another person carried a large machete and headed toward the Evil King’s palace.
A crowd of heretic cultivators gathered around to watch the show.
“My name is...”
“Go to hell!”
Before he could even say his name, a furious roar came from the depths of the Evil King’s palace.
A huge blood-red palm hurtled over and crushed the other party.
The blood-red palm did not stop there. It slapped all of the heretic cultivators who looked like they might be about to try.
Puff! Puff!
In the blink of an eye, more than ten people were killed by the blood-red palm.
“Run!”
The heretic cultivators who were watching the show were shocked and fled in all directions.
Was the Evil King crazy?!
“Die! Die!”
The blood-red palm killed the heretic cultivators one after the other.
The Evil King was so angry. One after another, these people all came to provoke him.
This made him the most undignified and disrespected evil king in history.
He was so angry that he made a move personally.
He initially thought that if he acted personally, he would be able to instill fear and intimidate the heretic cultivators. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all.
There were still people who were unafraid of death who came to the Evil King’s palace.
“I’m not afraid to tell you that the one who was personally killed by His Majesty the Evil King was my brother.”
“What? It was your brother? That’s insane!”
Gradually, in the circle of heretic cultivators, it became the greatest honor and privilege for those who charged into the Evil King’s palace to be killed by the Evil King himself!
No one knew how or why this had come about.
The Evil King was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He even suspected that a new evil cultivation method had appeared, and that the method caused problems in the brains of those who cultivated it.
Otherwise, how could there be so many madmen?
“Kun Wu!”
The Evil King gnashed his teeth. The source of all this was caused by that little heretic cultivator called Kun Wu.
…
“You stayed in seclusion, yet with a single order, you created a trend among the heretic cultivators. You’ve been rewarded with the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.”
Chu Xuan was depressed. The lucky mystic realm had been in the small courtyard for almost two months, but it had yet to attract anyone with great luck.
Could it be that there were no people with great luck in the Southern Region?
Although the lucky mystic realm had not been activated, it still had the ability to attract people with great luck.
Was it because these people with great luck were too far away and needed a very long time to arrive?
A reward from the system suddenly appeared out of the blue.
“???”
He was momentarily stunned. A single order had caused a trend among the heretic cultivators?
What trend did it cause?
This matter definitely had something to do with Kun Wu.
However, even he was not very clear as to what exactly Kun Wu had done. How did it cause a trend?
This was the drawback of having no information. He did not even know that such a big thing had taken place in the Southern Region.
He needed to think of a way to take control of the Black Moon Tower.
He then examined the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.
“The Myriad Heavenly Mirror can randomly connect to ten thousand regions. It can also transfer items...”
Chu Xuan was pleasantly surprised by this.
The Myriad Heavenly Mirror could randomly connect to various regions, and could also transfer items. However, for the time being, it could not transfer living things. It would only be able to do so when Chu Xuan’s strength rose to the Heaven realm.
This random connection ability could only be used three times a day. In addition to this, the Myriad Heavenly Mirror could be used to mark three specific places or living beings. After marking, he would be able to check on those marks at any time.
In the case of the mark of the Myriad Heavenly Mirror being used to on a living being, it would move in tandem with that living being.
Chu Xuan could not wait to activate the Myriad Heaven Mirror.
As he infused spiritual power into the artifact, ripples appeared on the surface of the Myriad Heavenly Mirror. After some time, an image appeared.
The first thing he saw were the high mountains and dense forest. He could hear the fierce beasts roaring.
He did not know where the mirror had connected to, but as the image formed, Chu Xuan suddenly saw a figure.
He focused the mirror on the figure and enlarged the image.
Ma Kong fell to the ground, panting as if he was seriously injured.
“Ma Kong, how are you?”
A black-clothed young man next to him was panting, and his body was covered in wounds as well. He crouched down to check on Ma Kong’s injuries.
From the looks of it, they had just experienced a battle.
Puchi!
Suddenly, a cold gleam flashed and a saber was stabbed into the black-clothed youth’s chest.
“You!”
The black-clothed youth’s eyes widened as he looked at Ma Kong in disbelief.
“Why?”
He had never thought that his companion would attack him out of nowhere.
He was on the verge of death. He wanted to fight back, but he had just experienced a great battle and had used up almost all of his spiritual power. Ma Kong’s saber had even severed his meridians.
Darkness descended, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
“Why?”
Ma Kong replied with a malevolent expression, “Of course it’s so I can have the treasure to myself. I’m sorry, brother. Your talent is better than mine, but I’ll be the one who laughs last.”
With a twist of the blade, the black-clothed youth’s life ended.
He reached out and took the black-clothed youth’s storage bag. After opening it, he put it away happily and turned around to leave.
Roar!
Suddenly, a roar resounded.
Trees collapsed, the earth shook, and a powerful aura crashed over him like a tidal wave.
Ma Kong’s expression changed greatly.
“Not good, it’s the Heavenly Fiend Tiger!”
He crawled to his feet and fled, but he did not make it far before a huge black tiger appeared behind him.
Ma Kong’s face was deathly pale.
His face was full of despair.
He was only at the ninth level of the profound realm, and the Heavenly Fiend Tiger had reached the seventh level of the void realm, or perhaps even higher.
Suddenly, he saw a mysterious halo materialize in the sky.
Through the halo, he saw a small courtyard.
In the small courtyard sat a figure bathed in divine light. He looked like a saint!
“Senior, save me!”
Plop!
Ma Kong knelt down and said.
Chu Xuan did not expect that he would encounter a backstabbing brother the first time he used the Myriad Heavenly Mirror, who killed his own companion for the sake of snatching treasure.
He activated the seven-colored divine light and bathed himself in it like a deity.
“Don’t panic!”
“I’ll teach you a method that will allow you to cross realms and easily kill that Heavenly Fiend Tiger!”
Ma Kong was overjoyed.
“Thank you, senior. Quickly teach me the method!”
Chu Xuan’s face could not be seen in the divine light. His voice had the demeanor of a peerless expert. “When the tiger pounces on you, hold the saber with both hands and slide under its belly. Raise the saber and stab it into its belly, cutting it open.”
“Remember, the belly of every demon beast is one of their greatest weaknesses.”
Ma Kong was momentarily dazed. He turned around and looked at the approaching Heavenly Fiend Tiger. Wiping his cold sweat, he asked in a trembling voice, “Senior, will this work?”
“Don’t worry. There won’t be any issues. It won’t expect you to slide under its belly out of nowhere. As the saying goes, if you catch it off guard, you will be able to kill it in one fell swoop!”
Chu Xuan encouraged him. “With me watching over you, how could anything go wrong?”
Hearing this, Ma Kong calmed down and thought to himself, ‘Senior is testing me. Yes, it has to be so!’
Holding the saber with both hands, he turned around and looked at the Heavenly Fiend Tiger with a determined gaze. Instead of retreating, he advanced.
