The land quaked, sending violent tremors through the surrounding several hundred thousand li.
As the land trembled, Qin Yi, Ceng Chu, and the others’ hearts jumped, boundless fear apparent in their eyes. The scene in front of them was too brutal.
They could no longer distinguish which part was Yelu Chufei’s face and which part was his ass, his entire body completely sunk into the ground like a flatcake, blood and flesh mingling together.
All of a sudden, Huwang Xiao’s dragon claw struck the void.
Screams pierced the air as a large number of figures fell from the air. These were the remaining Yelu Family Grand Elders and Elders who were hoping to sneak away undetected.
A powerful suction force gushed out from Huwang Xiao’s dragon palm, peeling the flattened Yelu Chufei from the pit below.
At this point, he had long lost consciousness, fainted into oblivion.
A violet ‘soul’ symbol flew out from Huwang Xiao’s pupils, entering Yelu Chufei’s soul through his forehead.
Yelu Chufei previously mentioned the Yelu Family’s Ancestor, therefore, before killing him, he had to find out the location of that Ancestor and whatever else Yelu Chufei knew about him.
A short while later, Huwang Xiao’s soul-scouring ended.
Initially, he planned on torturing these Yelu Family masters, but he already sensed that the Beitang Family Patriarch and his group had already entered Martial Spirit World’s atmosphere and were rushing toward the Huwang Clan Manor at this very moment. Hence, he could only kill Yelu Chufei first.
The devouring ability of his Archdevil Supreme Godhead circulated at full speed.
In a few breaths’ time, all of Yelu Chufei’s blood essence and godforce rushed into Huwang Xiao’s body. Right before the Azure Dragon Institute masters’ petrified faces, Yelu Chufei shrunk into a dried corpse at rapid speed.
With a simple tap of Huwang Xiao’s dragon claw, Yelu Chufei’s dried body burst into dust like a soap bubble.
“Patriarch!” Several Yelu Family masters shouted in despair.
“Huwang Xiao, I’ll take you down even at the cost of my life!” A Fifth Order Highgod Realm Yelu Family Grand Elder roared, pouncing on Huwang Xiao in blind fury. Godforce surged violently out of his body.
‘Want to blow up?’ Huwang Xiao inwardly sneered. His palm struck through the air with the God Binding Palm, striking that Grand Elder and freezing his entire body’s godforce. In the next second, the he was pulled by an invisible force to Huwang Xiao’s front, where the Archdevil Supreme Godhead’s devouring power enveloped him. In just a few breaths’ time, that Yelu Family Grand Elder’s blood essence and godforce were sucked dry by Huwang Xiao, just like what happened to Yelu Chufei.
Watching this scene, the remaining Yelu Family masters fell to the bottom of despair, filled with fear, panic, and sorrow. Some of them were kneeling and begging due to the fear they felt.
One of them shouted ‘Senior,’ another shouted ‘Lord,’ there were even some who called Huwang Xiao ‘Ancestor’.
Huwang Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry hearing these Yelu Family’s masters calling him Ancestor.
However, from the beginning, he had never planned to show mercy to them. In Huwang Xiao’s eyes, they were dead people from the very beginning.
Thus, no matter how these Yelu Family masters begged and pleaded, their death was certain.
Huwang Xiao’s enormous mouth opened, causing an overwhelming suction force to come from it, dragging all the Yelu Family masters right before his mouth.
No matter how they struggled, they couldn't escape Huwang Xiao’s control.
When these Yelu Family masters were within three li from Huwang Xiao, they immediately felt a frightening devouring power sucking out their blood essence and godforce.
Qin Yi and his group watched as those Yelu Family cultivators’ blood essences and godforce rushed out from their bodies, forming blood whirlpools several meters thick that flowed into Huwang Xiao’s body.
There were more than six hundred blood whirlpools, exuding glimmering godforce of various elements!
This scene in front of them shocked Qin Yi and the others speechless.
These were all Highgod Realm masters ah!
There were more than six hundred Highgod Realm masters, yet none of them had any power to resist, being turned into dried corpses!
The fear they were feeling deepened looking at that blue divine dragon, if it was possible. What horrifying existence was this primordial divine dragon?!
The weakest Yelu Family masters of Second and Third Order Highgod Realm had already turned into dried corpses, followed by those of Fourth Order, Fifth Order…
In the end, even Sixth Order Highgod Realm masters weren't able to escape.
After devouring more than six hundred Highgod Realm masters’ blood essence and godforce, Huwang Xiao felt an obvious difference in his strength.
With a shake of his body, he shattered those dried corpses into dust before turning toward Qin Yi’s group.
With just one look, Qin Yi, Ceng Chu, and everyone else started quivering uncontrollably.
“Senior, I, we, we’re not related to the Yelu Family.” Qin Yi’s tongue was twisted into a knot, “W-we’re just pa-passing by Martial Spirit World. Senior, please have mercy and let us go.”
Hearing Qin Yi claiming he was just passing by Martial Spirit World, Huwang Xiao laughed out loud for a good moment before stopping, “Qin Yi ah Qin Yi, you say you’re passing by Martial Spirit World? Didn’t you prepare one hundred giant redwood coffins for my wedding? You don’t plan to take them out?”
Qin Yi flinched.
In a flash, Huwang Xiao reverted to his human form.
“Hu-Huwang, Huwang, you’re Huwang Xiao, you!!!” Qin Yi’s mind buzzed. His body temperature plunged, his four limbs freezing.
Ch.901
The Azure Dragon Institute Grand Elders, Ceng Chu included, were dumbfounded staring at Huwang Xiao. Their faces were ashen, drowned in the dread of death.
Several Grand Elders felt dampness at their crotch as lines of pungent yellow liquid flowed down their legs.
Huwang Xiao looked at Qin Yi, mockery and bloodthirst in his cold gaze, “Institute Principal Qin Yi, take out those one hundred giant redwood coffins that you ordered. For the sake of those coffins, I will leave your corpses intact.”
Fear squeezed those Azure Dragon Institute masters’ hearts, their bodies went cold even as they stood there.
“Huwang-g, Huwang Xiao, I’m the Azure Dragon Institute’s Principal, you cannot kill me, you cannot kill me!” Qin Yi repeated, his words not making any sense.
Huwang Xiao’s lips curved into a faint smile, “Just because you’re the Azure Dragon Institute Principal? Fang Chu was a core disciple of the Fortune Gate, while Yelu Chufei was the Yelu Family Patriarch.”
Qin Yi’s face lost all color.
Even at this point, Qin Yi couldn’t believe it. Why? Why was that primordial divine dragon Huwang Xiao?!
Huwang Xiao was a human!
How could this be?
Most of all, how could Huwang Xiao’s strength have reached such a terrifying level?
“Impossible, this must be a dream. That's right it’s definitely a dream!” Qin Yi shook his head like a rattle drum, mumbling, trying to convince himself, when all of a sudden a sword appeared in his hand, slashing down at his own arm. Pearls of bright red blood flowed down his arm.
Qin Yi looked blankly as his own flowing blood.
In the distance, a large group of people was flying in the Huwang Clan Manor’s direction. This group was composed of none other than Beitang Family masters.
Beitang Family Patriarch, Beitang Yiyang, spoke, “Strange, why are things so calm? Could it be the Yelu Family and the others still haven't arrived?”
“The Yelu Family should have reached Martial Spirit World already, but this place is too calm. I think they most probably have already dealt with Huwang Xiao. With Yelu Chufe
i’s strength, killing Huwang Xiao shouldn't take any effort at all.” A Beitang Family Grand Elder stated his opinion.
“I agree, there’s hardly any master in the Huwang Clan Manor, the strongest of them is only that Ascending Moon Old Man, with a mere Fourth Order Highgod Realm cultivation.” Another Beitang Family Grand Elder chimed in, “The Huwang Clan Manor has most likely been annihilated by now.”
“The Yelu Family’s actions were too swift, killing Huwang Xiao so fast.” Beitang Family Patriarch Beitang Yiyang frowned, “I had assumed Huwang Xiao could last some time. That way, we would have arrived at the ripe time to collect the harvest with the least effort, dividing half of Huwang Xiao’s treasures with Yelu Chufei.”
“Ei, those are… the Azure Dragon Institute’s people?” A Beitang Family Grand Elder suddenly pointed up ahead.
“That’s Huwang Xiao? He’s still alive?!” Another Beitang Family Grand Elder shouted.
Patriarch Beitang Yiyang’s eyes glimmered, “Go, let's have a look.”
Subsequently, all Beitang Family masters flew forward, toward Huwang Xiao and the Azure Dragon Institute’s people.
Huwang Xiao was about to devour the Azure Dragon Institute’s masters when he saw the Beitang Family’s group flying over and his actions halted for a second.
When Qin Yi, Ceng Chu, and all other Azure Dragon Institute masters saw the people flying toward them, joy rose to their faces as they hurried forward.
Huwang Xiao watched this silently, showing no signs of stopping them
“Beitang Patriarch, save me, save me!” Qin Yi shouted from afar.
The North Hall Galaxy wasn't far from the four galaxies. Due to some interests, as the Principal of the Azure Dragon Institute, Qin Yi had met the Beitang Family Patriarch a couple of times in the past.
Hence, they could be considered as associates.
The Beitang Family masters noticed the fearful expressions on the Azure Dragon Institute people’s faces, watching them flee in panic towards them, screaming for help. All of them were dumbfounded.
Beitang Yiyang raised his hand to stop the Beitang Family masters behind him from advancing, waiting for Qin Yi where they were.
“Institute Principal Qin, what is happening?” Beitang Yiyang asked.
Qin Yi shouted anxiously, “Patriarch Beitang, Patriarch Yelu is dead, all of his Grand Elders and Elders are dead! It was Huwang Xiao, Huwang Xiao killed them, we must run, hurry, I beg you, bring us with you, don’t leave us here, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!!”
Beitang Yiyang and his group shuddered, looking at Qin Yi with shock.
“What? Yelu Chufei is dead? All the Yelu Family Grand Elders and Elders are dead?! You’re saying they were killed by Huwang Xiao?!” A Beitang Family Grand Elder exclaimed out loud in shock and doubt.
All of them knew that Yelu Chufei was a mid-Seventh Order Highgod Realm master! How could Huwang Xiao have killed the man? Not forgetting that Yelu Chufei didn't come alone, he brought a huge group of Fifth Order and Sixth Order Highgod Realm masters with him.
Huwang Xiao might be strong, but not to this extent.
That was why none of the Beitang Family masters believed Qin Yi’s words, they even suspected that Qin Yi was in cahoots with Huwang Xiao to trick them, forcing them to leave without a fight.
“Institute Principal Qin, what benefits did you get from Huwang Xiao?” A Beitang Family Grand Elder said sarcastically aloud, “Do you know the consequences of lying to us?”
Seeing that Patriarch Beitang and the Beitang Family masters wouldn't believe him, Qin Yi became even more anxious and urgent, waving his hands and shouting, “No, no, it’s true, Huwang Xiao really killed Patriarch Yelu and the others.”
“You say Huwang Xiao killed the Yelu Family group, then where are their corpses?” Beitang Yiyang demanded solemnly, his gaze swept over the surrounding.
There were several crumbled cliffs around, and deep pits in the ground with cracks running through the earth. Beitang Yiyang had to admit that it was a very convincing scene.
Qin Yi hurried to explain, “Patriarch Yelu and the rest were all sucked dry and turned into dried corpses by Huwang Xiao, then he shattered those corpses into dust.”
“Sucked into dry corpses?”
“Shattered into dust?”
Hearing Qin Yi’s explanation, all Beitang Family masters laughed out loud.
A Highgod Realm master’s body was almost indestructible, especially a high-level Highgod Realm master like Yelu Chufei. His body was even stronger, so tough that even divine artifacts could hardly make a cut through his flesh. But now, Qin Yi claimed that Huwang Xiao turned all of those Highgod Realm masters into dust?
The Beitang group could hardly be blamed for laughing out loud.
Beitang Yiyang watched Qin Yi, his gaze chillingly cold.
“Wangyi, you go and capture Huwang Xiao, but don’t kill him yet.” Beitang Yiyang said to one of the Grand Elders behind him, “I want to verify some things.”
“Yes, Patriarch.” Beitang Wangyi respectfully complied.
This Beitang Wangyi was a Sixth Order Highgod Realm master. In his eyes, his own strength was more than enough to capture Huwang Xiao.
Beitang Wangyi flew toward his target.
“Huwang Xiao!” Beitang Wangyi was just about to tell him to surrender obediently when a figure flickered and Beitang Wangyi felt an overwhelming force rushing at him. Alarmed, he wanted to dodge but was a step too late. He was sent flying right into a mountain peak.
A thunderous boom resounded in the air.
The abrupt change in the situation was like a cork over the Beitang Family masters’ laughter. Flabbergasted, they looked at Beitang Wangyi embedded into the mountain peak.
Shock was clearly written over his face.
At this time, high in the air, Huwang Xiao approached the Beitang Family masters with unhurried steps, his gaze indifferent, “Beitang Yiyang, what do you want to ask me?”
Beitang Yiyang opened his mouth, but no words came, his expression extremely ugly.
Ch.902
A powerful suction force pulled Qin Yi, who had reached Beitang Yiyang’s side, in front of Huwang Xiao.
In the four galaxies, Qin Yi was considered one of the more powerful people with his cultivation realm of peak mid-Third Order Highgod Realm, but in front of Huwang Xiao, his struggle was powerless.
“Huwang Xiao, don’t kill me…” Qin Yi’s bloodless face was distorted due to fear, pleading for his life.
Huwang Xiao’s eyes were void of any emotion, “Don’t worry. I’ve already said that, for the sake of those one hundred giant redwood coffins, I will leave you with an intact corpse.” With that said, Huwang Xiao’s Archdevil Supreme Godhead rotated, releasing streams of devouring power.
The Beitang Family’s masters watched from the side as Qin Yi’s body shrunk and dried up at a rapid pace. Within two breaths’ time, he had completely turned into a dried corpse.
Huwang Xiao’s fingers loosened his grip and Qin Yi’s corpse fell to the ground.
Watching this, the Beitang Family masters were astounded and a little frightened.
Dried corpse!
Qin Yi was sucked into a dried corpse by Huwang Xiao!
Then what Qin Yi claimed earlier...?!
A strong ominous feeling rose in the hearts of Beitang Yiyang and the Beitang Family masters. However, right at this time, a brilliant light shone from Huwang Xiao’s body, who transformed into a primordial divine dragon with his claws stretched out, slamming down on Beitang Yiyang.
Huwang Xiao’s speed was too fast. It happened so quickly that Beitang Yiyang barely had time to react, even less the time to dodge, and was sent flying by Huwang Xiao’s dragon claw.
“Patriarch!” The surrounding Beitang Family masters cried out.
With a slight sway of his draconic body, Huwang Xiao once again arrived above Beitang Yiyang, his dragon claw striking out again.
A great rumble sounded from the earth
as Beitang Yiyang’s body was embedded into the ground as a result of Huwang Xiao’s attack.
Only then did the Beitang Family masters react, throwing words of anger and hollering as they swarmed toward Huwang Xiao in retaliation.
Watching these people attacking him together, Huwang Xiao sneered coldly and rushed into their midst instead of dodging.
In an instant, blood-curdling wails filled the air.
Huwang Xiao resembled a hungry tiger that ran into a herd of sheep.
Every swipe of his claws drew blood from tens of Beitang Family’s masters and sent twice as many of them flying.
In a short few breaths’ time, only half of Beitang Family cultivators remained standing.
The Azure Dragon Institute’s Grand Elders, including Ceng Chu, lost half of their soul watching this and no longer wanted to stay even a second longer. They flew off in different directions for a chance at life.
But after running for barely a moment, they noticed an overwhelming suction force pulling at them them. In the next second, their bodies flew backwards.
Following that, their blood essence and godforce started rushing out from their bodies, out of their control.
No matter how fiercely they struggled, how they screamed and wailed, or how they begged for mercy, it was useless.
Soon, Huwang Xiao turned Ceng Chu and all the other Azure Dragon Institute masters into nothing more than dried corpses.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
All Beitang Family masters were now injured, knocked away by Huwang Xiao.
Looking at the surrounding pits in the ground with half protruding body parts, Huwang Xiao first arrived above Beitang Yiyang in a flicker.
With a slight clawing motion, Beitang Yiyang was pulled into Huwang Xiao’s hand from a deep pit. But Huwang Xiao was in no hurry to kill him.
Yelu Chufei had to die. Beitang Yiyang, on the other hand, could die, but he could also be spared.
Huwang Xiao decided to give this Beitang Yiyang a chance. If the man was willing to submit to him, then he wouldn’t mind receiving him as a follower. After all, controlling the Beitang Family was a means of expanding his forces, which was a more favorable result compared to exterminating them.
