Chapter 44

Oh?

The reaction from Yahui after he was stabbed with the Essence-infused sword caused Ji Xian's eyes to flicker with disappointment.

So theyre still affected by True Essence, huh? How boring, I thought Ill be able to have some fun.

You

Yahui groaned. He wasnt injured by the sword that pierced through his stomach, it only left him slightly uncomfortable. But he also knew that his opponent was only holding back, what made him uneasy was the fact that he cant see the depth of this person before him.

When did the humans have someone like this in their ranks?

With this thought, Yahui shuddered as he looked down at the sword sticking out of him when he suddenly felt its power swiftly increasing

Ji Xian had increased the amount of True Essence infused into his sword causing it to skyrocket, earlier he had held back and only put in enough True Essence to rival the Essence realm, but now it has increased to the point where it has just barely passed the Holy realm.

Ji Xian waved his hand and slashed Yahui across the waist, seemingly cutting him in half! It happened so fast, he wasnt even able to react.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Just like before, Ji Xian felt like he was slicing the air. The sword swept past Yahui but on the surface, it didnt seem to have caused any physical harm.

Argh!

Yahui screamed.

Out of instinct, he immediately retreated, with Yazhu following him.

Huh?

Ji Xian frowned as he watched the duo pull back. His eyes shined with a subtle light as he observes their Movement Art.

Their bodies flickered momentarily in and out of existence, turning almost invisible and that wasnt all, they created numerous after-images that made it hard to determine which one was the true body.

But this wasnt what bothered Ji Xian, as the duo retreated, they also left behind an uncomfortable sharp screech that rang throughout the area. This sound was uncomfortable and mysterious, even after he shut off his hearing, he was still able to hear it.

He wasnt unfamiliar with this sound, Yahui and Yazhus voices contained a quality similar to this. When Yazhu first attack him with that foggy beam, it also had this sound, and also when the duo struck out together, that sound reverberated throughout the formation.

He had noticed its uniqueness right at the beginning and hearing it once more, Ji Xian cant help but squint his eyes.

This sound was targeting his soul!

He wasnt sure how this sound would affect other people, but for him, it was enough to cause him to lose his focus if he wasnt careful.

Seeing this he cant help but be warier of the Yazhu and Yahui.

If Ji Xian were to ask himself what was his biggest weakness, then without a doubt, the answer would be his soul!

He had never come across any Divine Arts that cultivate the soul in the Mortal Haven World, it was just too rare! It was only recently that he was able to find the Soul Liberation Art, which he had stolen from Solitude City.

A seven colored light appeared and shined through the clouds, its appearance brought immense fear throughout the people of the Mortal Desolate World as they know what this rainbow light represents.

Universal Will!

-

In a dark unknown area at the Arcane Mountain, an old man dressed completely in white was sitting crossed-legged with his eyes closed, exuding an unfathomable aura. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open as he looked toward the sky.

His body shook with fear as he spoke, Impossible! The Universal Will only takes action when someone doesnt play by the rules! Has someone from the Upper World descended without lowering their cultivation?

But why? Thats just asking for death! Not to mention, we have never faced an invasion before."

"No.. it shouldn't be...the Upper World have yet to find us."

So what's causing this?"

-

Xia Lihua stared at the sky with a heavy heart before turning towards the formation. Perhaps it was just her imagination, but she can see a familiar figure.

This catastrophic event sparked a memory that she had forgotten long ago. She had seen a similar scene when the Nether race invaded, but, in the Mortal Haven World, something like this has happened twice in the past, not counting the times when the other beings of the Upper World descended.

It happened once before she was the elected Guardian of the Northern Continent and another time after, both times it happened abruptly, and it would only last for a few seconds before disappearing, causing mass confusion.

And now, it has happened again and the reason for it was right before her!

Ji Xian!

-

Inside the formation, sparks of blue lightning danced around Ji Xian while Yazhu and Yahui quivered in horror. Although Ji Xians appearance couldnt be seen, they can feel his gaze was focused entirely on them. The pressure it brought them was too horrifying!

Without warning, a thundering crackle roared from the clouds!

Huh?

Ji Xian snapped out of his current state, he took a glance above him and gave out a bitter sigh.

Shit, I got too excited again.

He quickly reined in his aura.

The oppressive air instantly disappeared, and the shaking stopped. The rainbow light fades away, after seemingly having lost its target.

The dark clouds dispersed, revealing the blue sky once more.

Everything returned to normal in a blink of an eye.
