Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 826: Challenging the Golden Roc

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

The cultivation world was mysterious and limitless. It was a world that was constructed with all the eeriness present in a dream.

Other than the humankind, there were many different kinds of beings living in the world. Violent predators and rare spiritual beings were countless, which is why the old saying said hundreds and thousands of different beings rule the world.

During the last dark era, the humankind was just born. Because they were at the lowest level of the food chain, they were treated as slaves by the other different kinds and were toyed with.

Only after five different dynasties and the various emperors, did the fate of the humankind improve for the humans. They slowly began to gain the capability to fight against the foreign kinds.

After that, many different generations of omnipotent beings fought with their boiling blood. Only then, did the humankind strengthen slowly and became the new ruler of this world.

The Keeper of the Land and Sea was one of the most famous out of that group of people.

However, despite the fact that she came from an era where she was utterly undefeatable and beat up the foreign kinds until they can no longer look up, she couldn’t completely wipe them out.

Therefore, though so much time has passed, the foreign kinds never fully disappeared. They merely began to hide and no longer fought against the humankind.

However, some of the beings who once ruled never forgot their glorious times and made it a goal to one day enslave humans again.

Out of the foreign kinds, there were seven royal kinds and 10 noble kinds. All of them were extremely powerful. Every single being had the capability to defeat everyone out of their own generation and they have long surpassed most people of the humankind.

What could they do? The physique of the foreign kinds was naturally stronger and humans cannot compare. Ignoring the royal kinds who were at the peak of the food chain, the noble kinds were already powerful enough to be humans’ nightmares.

Only the extremely talented people had the capability to fight against one of them.

The roc, six-armed gorilla, and nine-headed lion were all part of the nobles. Though their bloodlines were not pure, they remained noble.

Even if their blood wasn’t pure and was only a quarter pure, they still remained extremely powerful!

Luckily, the reproduction ability of the foreign kinds was very poor and they were lacking in number. If that wasn’t the case, human beings would’ve been wiped out a while ago.

The roc especially was pitiful in number. Legend has it that there were no more than 20 individuals in their group. However, every single one of them had the power to move mountains and oceans.

Therefore, despite their lack of population, very few humans dare to provoke them.

Currently, however, at a mountain where the roc kind lived, came a young man.

He was wearing a robe white like snow. His visage was handsome like jade and he acted like an immortal who rode above the world. His extraordinary temperament meant anyone who saw him, would compliment him.

What a handsome young man.

Of course, that was merely his appearance. If one looked into his eyes, one would find them to be profound and mysterious like the starry night. They were full of intelligence from the life he has lived.

This person was Ling Xian.

He has already found out about everything. The three noble kinds he wanted to challenge were full of powerhouses and every individual was powerful. However, nobody within the groups was of the fifth level.

In other words, the entire Yunzhou have no cultivators from the fifth level.

After all, Yunzhou’s location was rather isolated. Its spiritual energy, when compared to other continents, was lacking. It was not at all comparable to the other resourceful and rich continents.

To not have anyone from the fifth level appear, it was reasonable.

Therefore, why would Ling Xian to afraid?

His physique is now comparable to the advanced stage of the original level. Alongside the battle immortal bone and the Disorder Conquering Fists, he could put up a fight even against those at the peak of the original level.

Therefore, he came.

He came for revenge!

“Golden roc, back then, you forced me to leave the Wan Jian House and leave my homeland. Then, you linked arms with the other two foreign kinds and attacked the Wan Jian House. I will have to deal with you for all that.”

Staring at the numerous tall mountain peaks, Ling Xian’s expression was cold. His white robe fluttered in the wind and made little noises.

When he remembered what happened back then, his anger couldn’t help but boil. Especially when he remembered how he had to handle everything himself and how the Wan Jian House was attacked, his killer’s intent flared.

“I bet not even in your dreams did you expect me to return. I have returned with new and improved capabilities.”

Ling Xian squinted his eyes. He silently called out and a black spear appeared in his palm.

This spear was one of the treasures from his storage pouch. Its make is rather good. Though he has no spiritual energy right now and cannot use its different powers, it was pretty good as a mere weapon.

Don’t forget, his physique was really terrifying. That plus a heavy-duty weapon – just how much destruction was it going to cause?

“Come, let me flatten this ground.” Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He held onto the weapon and swept around. Terrifying energy howled out.

HOMMM!

After a loud rumble, the mountain peaks before him collapsed. Huge movements pierced through the cloud and brought much shock to the roc kind.

Then, a loud voice full of anger began to rise and echoed throughout the area.

Ling Xian smiled at this. He thought sniping everyone would be far too boring. This was the effect he wanted.

Back then, the three foreign kinds used their soldiers to attack and they did it aggressively just to threaten the Wan Jian House. Today, he wanted to do the same. He wanted the roc kind to feel the humiliation they caused!

“Let me fight until my heart is satisfied!”

Laughing loudly, Ling Xian held onto his spear single-handedly and walked forward with his head held high. Every step he took, his blood enhanced somewhat, making the place shake.

“Who dares to enter my mountain!”

After a loud angry cry, a blond-haired man appeared in front. He was not the same roc who led the attack of the Wan Jian House. But his Qi was just as terrifying.

Behind him, 10 different, but all extraordinary-looking men stood. Their Qi was so powerful, space felt a little twisted.

“Who?”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He walked on with the spear in his hand and uttered out something that astounded the entire place.

“My name is Ling Xian, I believe you are not unfamiliar with this name.”

At those words, everyone frowned. The memories from back then began to reappear in their minds. All of their expressions changed slightly.

What could they do? That name once made the roc kind the laughing stock of the foreign kinds.

But quickly, everyone’s shocked faces turned into coldness.

“Haha, the heaven has eyes!”

The elderly laughed out loud and terrifying Qi washed out in all directions. He said sarcastically, “if you revived, you should find a nice place to hide. How dare you approach us? Young man, don’t you know that we all want to cut you into pieces?”

“I want the same thing as well.”

Ling Xian softly smiled. His long spear pointed at the 10 powerhouses, “You all want to kill me, don’t you know I want to kill you just as much?”

“Haha, how laughable!”

The golden-haired elder laughed out loud and mocked, “You are merely an ant and you dare to say you are going to end the rocs? You moron!”

Everyone behind him all began to chatter, their voices were full of disdain and sarcasm.

The roc kind was one of the 10 noble kinds out of foreign kinds. Though they were merely a branch of the foreign kinds without pure blood, their battling capabilities were enough to snatch the stars and move the ocean!

After all, the rocs were prominent predators from the previous era!

“I am the ant?” Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. He pointed his sword at everyone. His desire to kill seeped out of him and reached high in the sky.

“I wonder what you all will think of, when, I, an ant, kill off all of you?”
