“Dead?”

In the Fengdu City of the Mystic Thearch Palace, Yin Ruobing looked at the blood mist that was what’s left of She Fei and was conflicted internally. As one of the best disciples of the Nine Thearch Clans, She Fei was highly likely to have become the next Evil Thearch—one of the protectors of the East Imperial Continent. He was the young clan head of the She Clan, one of the most exceptional young masters on the East Imperial Continent; he had now perished in Fengdu City, to be a companion to these zombie soldiers forever.

Yin Ruobing felt that it was a little unreal; the young clan head of the She Clan had actually died in front of her. She would never have been able to fathom something like this happening. Furthermore, Jiang Yi had destroyed the Evil Thearch’s phantom image; he was setting himself up against the entire She Clan.

As the first lady of the Yin Clan, she had seen and heard from young how powerful the Nine Thearch Clans were. She was also clear of the Thearch Monarch-like influence the Nine Thearch Clans had. The dignity of the Nine Thearch Clans was not easily trifled with. Whoever went against the Nine Thearch Clans would ultimately perish; there was no exception.

This was a fact that had been confirmed over and over again over the past seven hundred thousand years—by countless formidable martial artists who had paid with their lives. This was what history informed people today.

Jiang Yi, a young man from a humble background, was trying to break this iron rule with his fists. He wanted to be like those formidable martial artists of times past, going against the Nine Thearch Clans. Would he perish like them, or would he succeed in overthrowing the Nine Thearch Clans and making history?

Yin Ruobing did not know!

At this moment, her heart was palpitating for some reason, looking at Jiang Yi’s straight figure from the back. She felt her soul spirit tremble. However, she quickly thought things through. Hadn’t she always been trying to find an unrivaled man? If Jiang Yi had decided to give in just now and chose not to kill She Fei, how different would Jiang Yi be from the men of the continent?

To think what ordinary people wouldn’t dare to think, to do what ordinary people wouldn’t dare to do; that was the mark of a true man. That was an unrivaled man.

Yin Ruobing’s face revealed a smile as she dismissed the uneasiness and distracting thoughts in her mind. No matter what, she had already chosen this man and had already given herself to him. A woman should stand by her man no matter what; at most death would await. As long as one lived a dynamic and spectacular life for even one day, that would beat living an ordinary life for a lifetime.

Jiang Yi, on the other hand, did not think too much.

Perhaps he was born with a rebellious bone in him. On the Stellarsky Continent, he had already wanted to betray his country, even thinking at the start to go to war with his father—Jiang Bieli. Jiang Yi had never shied away from battle. He dared to kill Wu Ni, and he had already had a resolve to kill She Fei long ago once the opportunity arose. Now, the chance had come. Regardless of whether it was a phantom image of the She Fei or him coming in person—if Jiang Yi could kill, he would not hesitate.

“Blood Thearch Armor? Good stuff!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes were glistening as he flew over in an instant, one hand grabbing the Blood Thearch Armor. This was the treasured armor that a nine-star expert had made years ago. Jiang Yi had already witnessed its defensive power; the astral wind blades had attacked for so long, and yet the Blood Thearch Armor did not show even a sliver of damage. This was indeed an unrivaled cardinal treasure.

His Fire Cloud Armor had been destroyed back in the days, and Jiang Yi was just lacking a defensive piece of armor. The Blood Thearch Armor was very prestigious and domineering; he liked it very much. Hence, he was not going to stand on ceremony now, wanting to use his essence force to refine it.

However, as this was an ancient artifact, it wasn’t that easy to refine it. Jiang Yi refined for some time but realized that it was not possible to complete the process in a short while and had to keep it aside first. He then grabbed hold of She Fei’s Ancient Divine Essence Ring and flew to retrieve the skull weapon that She Fei was using. Jiang Yi then finally flew next to Yin Ruobing and said, “Ruobing, you are fine?”

“I’m fine!” Yin Ruobing smiled sweetly, her eyes full of gentleness, saying, “Jiang Lang, have you really broken through? You are now able to even kill a Demigod.”

“This is all thanks to you.”

Jiang Yi held on to Yin Ruobing’s hand and said dotingly, “Ruobing, you have suffered. Is your body okay? Do you need time to recover?”

“I’m fine.”

Yin Ruobing’s face revealed a tinge of embarrassment. She lowered her head and said, “Jiang Lang, what should we do now?”

“It doesn’t matter!”

Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “We will continue and proceed forward. No one has gotten the Glazed Pagoda yet; I must have it. Separately, I have to think of all possible ways to get the Mystic Divine Palace. Only then will I have a chance against the Nine Thearchs. I have said that I want you to go back to the Yin Clan glamorously.”

“Alright!”

Yin Ruobing smiled beautifully. Now that she had become a woman, she was even more beautiful. She had lost a little childishness and gained a tinge of maturity. Her airs now would make the divine soul of any man sway.

Swish!

Jiang Yi held on to Yin Ruobing and dashed towards the exit. His Rainbow Soul Spear was dancing as one by one, the zombie soldiers were struck and fell down. The exit was not that far away and was within sight within breaths. Jiang Yi did not hesitate and dashed straight into the stone door.

…

“Eh?”

The two of them disappeared in a flash of white light and came to a patch of wilderness. This was the fourth stage of the Mystic Divine Palace, the Evil Spirit Ridge.

Jiang Yi did not go past this stage the last time while Yin Ruobing and company had gone to complete this stage from the terrible-grade rank side. When Jiang Yi had entered the Wild Spirit Village in the Evil Spirit Ridge the last time, he had found that he could not go into the stone door there. Ao Lu had cheated and helped Jiang Yi to skip that, allowing Jiang Yi to obtain the three treasures, ending the treasure hunting.

“Jiang Yi, be careful. The Evil Spirit Ridge has a total of 108 mountains. Each mountain is so large that it has no borders. The last time we went through this stage, each mountain had countless horrific demonic beasts and had a Demon Thearch guarding it. This time, our strength is different while this is also the hellish-grade rank; the demonic beasts are definitely going to be stronger. In order to pass this stage, we have to travel across forty-nine mountains to reach the Wild Spirit Village which was located in the center. Then, we will be able to enter the fifth stage.

Yin Ruobing explained this stage to Jiang Yi in detail. Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. He was the least afraid of demonic beasts. Living creatures were, after all, easier to manage than dead creatures; living things had soul spirits. As his Massacre Intent had rank-upped, he could now affect soul spirits.

“Go!”

Clearing the fourth stage would grant one twelve points, enough to gain the second treasure: the Glazed Pagoda. Since at this moment Zhan Tianlei had not gotten that treasure, it meant he was still stuck in here. Hence, Jiang Yi was very motivated and decided to give it his all and clear the fourth stage before Zhan Tianlei did.

Swish!

The two of them flew towards the first mountain like sharp swords. That mountain was full of black huge trees, had towering peaks, and a seemingly bottomless ravine; who knew how many demonic beasts were in there?

“Jiang Lang, do not fly too high. That would draw the attention of the demonic beasts. You cannot use your divine senses here. Also, lightning bolts are whizzing down from the high skies.”

Yin Ruobing saw that Jiang Yi was flying higher and higher and hurriedly cautioned him. Her Bejeweled Armor also surfaced over her body as she wielded her God Shooter Bow; she was like an unbeatable lady battle goddess, possessing a different air.

“En!”

Jiang Yi had already realized that he couldn’t use his divine senses. He flew downwards for a while, sticking close to the mountain ridges. He was no longer holding Yin Ruobing, activating his Astral Winds Divine Shield instead and wielding his flexible sword. Ten astral wind blades followed him as his Rainbow Soul Spear was also at the ready, prepared for battle.

“Roar!” “Loo-Loo!” “Roar!”

As the two flew into the mountain, the demonic beasts inside were immediately awakened. An avian—as long as a hundred feet—flew up from the ravine, with icy-cold eyes and a beak that had a cold steely glow to it. One look at it would petrify anyone.

From the depths of one of the mountain peaks came a black shadow. That was a Kui beast1, with blue eyes and two long tusks jutting out from its mouth. It dashed forward as two peaks were knocked down by its tusks, becoming smithereens. It was exceptionally horrifying.

From underground came a silver centipede. It was too long and had god knew how many legs. Each leg was as sharp as blades as if made from molten iron castings, shining bright. It moved like the wind, reducing all the trees and wood it touched into a fine powder while rocks and stone cracked as dust flew everywhere. Its deadly aura enveloped a few-dozen-kilometer radius.

“Three peak-stage Demon Thearchs?”

Jiang Yi’s expression became serious. It wasn’t because of the presence of the three Demon Thearchs in front of him. It was more because if peak-stage Demon Thearchs had already appeared at the start of the Evil Spirit Ridge stage, that meant that Demon Sovereigns were definitely out and about; no one knew what tier those Demon Sovereigns would be.

“Ruobing, be careful!”

Jiang Yi growled as he waved his flexible sword and charged at the three beasts, without any sign of fear.
