Chapter 488: What Else Do I Need To Unlock The Next Mountain?

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Hong! Hong! Hong!

Heaven Emperor Brush wrote eight kill words. The moment it ran out of strength, the words shot forwards.

The targets were the remaining eight experts who were on guard.

Old Xiong’s expression was fierce and his old face gave off a frightening, green light.

At that moment, he was not calm and he had no confidence. He started to panic and actually became really afraid.

The Heaven Emperor Brush’s attack terrified him. He was filled with fear and he tried his best to block it.

“Don’t think about killing me. I have reached stage nine and am just a few steps away from ascending. Your attacks are useless against me.” Old Xiong shouted in rage. Light appeared around his body and covered the entire sky, turning into one shield after another.

Defense!

He had to defend and block this move. Heaven Emperor Brush had run out of strength and he didn’t need to fear it anymore.

As long as he blocked this move, the Heaven Emperor Brush was his. He would also be able to kill Tian Guangming, the scumbag.

Heaven Emperor Brush’s immense power shouldn’t have been wasted on Tian Guangming. If it was in his hands, he would have a high chance of ascending.

Thinking about it, Old Xiong was pumped up. His gaze was really sharp like that of an eagle. He stared at the death word that flew towards him.

The others were the same. They held up many protective layers and had solemn expressions on their faces.

Worse still, someone held up 100 protective layers and laid them out. If there was enough time, he would have laid out a few thousand of them to ensure that he was safe.

But the defensive shields that they saw as their saving grace weren’t of any use against Heaven Emperor Brush’s words.

The words that Heaven Emperor Brush wasn’t affected by the defensive shields. They attacked the river of time and not the people themselves. The moment they touched the shield, it was like a sharp arrow piercing through the lake. It caused waves, layer after layer of them. Although it was hampered a little, it wasn’t of much use. It still had huge strength.

Dong!

The kill word directly pierced through the stage seven Destiny Realm expert with the weakest shield.

The kill word entered his body and that stage seven expert collapsed. His life force disappeared and he didn’t make a sound.

He died just like that.

There was no sign at all. Once the kill word entered the body, one didn’t even have a chance to react.

First, second.

Second, third.

Pu pu pu!

Stage seven and stage eight experts started to fall to the ground after the kill word entered their bodies.

This was a totally silent scene. It was totally different from the war where killing intent exploded and they fought one another.

They died without making a sound. There were no tragic shouts or gory scenes. There were no killing moves thrown out to kill…

All that happened was people falling and dying.

This time it was even more terrifying, scary, and weird.

Old Xiong was facing the attack too. He was at stage nine and originally, he thought that he could block it, but the people beside him fell one by one. His kill word wasn’t blocked and it was flying towards him.

His expression was one of terror and panic. He gritted his teeth and flew away. He didn’t even defend and wanted to open up the distance between them.

“I can’t afford to take this on but can’t I hide?” Old Xiong hollered and then his body disappeared at a quick speed.

Xiu!

But the kill word was even faster. Without the defensive layer blocking, it was really like a sharp arrow piercing through the sky.

Pu!

This word entered Old Xiong’s body. His eyes were filled with disbelief and then he shouted in shock, “No…”

But it was just a word.

His cultivation was higher, so he was able to shout something before he died.

Putong!

Old Xiong directly fell from the sky and smashed into a mountain, causing the entire peak to collapse. He was also buried by stone.

Tian Guangming blinked.

Fierce!

No, too fierce.

“Damn, that is my Heaven Emperor Brush?” Tian Guangming took out the Heaven Emperor Brush and looked at it carefully. He loved it so much.

After Li Xiandao passed the Heaven Emperor Brush to Tian Guangming, he studied it closely and refined it every day.

But that was because the Heaven Emperor Brush was a celestial artifact given to him by Li Xiandao.

Tian Guangming always felt that the Heaven Emperor Brush itself was not strong. This was because when he activated a few seals, it didn’t show off much overpowered strength and it was just like a normal celestial artifact.

This made him guess that this Heaven Emperor Brush was a normal celestial artifact. Although he still liked it, he didn’t place much emphasis on it.

But at that moment…

Tian Guangming personally witnessed the Heaven Emperor Brush evolving. Without Master’s control, it wrote nine words and killed nine experts.

One of them was an expert that was at stage nine Destiny Realm.

“You are so strong?” Tian Guangming wiped the Heaven Emperor Brush and his eyes were filled with excitement. He really wanted to hold the Heaven Emperor Brush up high and worship it.

“These bunch of bastards who dare to cross worlds. Now, you know that your grandfather Tian Guangming is strong.” Tian Guangming said in delight.

He attributed Heaven Emperor Brush’s kills to himself.

Heaven Emperor Brush was his treasure and he was its owner. Naturally, its kills were his too?

After all, without him, Heaven Emperor Brush wouldn’t be able to show off such strength.

Of course, Li Xiandao’s sword energy was the key.

But!

Without him asking Master to give him a streak of sword energy, could Heaven Emperor Brush show off such huge strength?

So, that meant that Tian Guangming had killed all of them. This logic made sense.

Tian Guangming checked out all the corpses. As for Old Xiong, who was buried in the mountain, Tian Guangming was lazy and didn’t search for him. He also kept the eight-sided pagoda.

Although one corner was broken, in essence, it was strong. It was a celestial artifact and the strength of a celestial artifact wasn’t to be underestimated. It only lost because it met the Heaven Emperor Brush.

Heaven Emperor Brush suppressed it and broke one corner. But if it was repaired and nourished with spiritual energy, it would recover soon enough.

Its source wasn’t affected and it was fine. Tian Guangming picked it up happily and said, “I shall give this to Master and he will definitely be happy and give me some treasures. He might even give this to me and help me with my cultivation so that I can enter Destiny Realm. I can’t fall too far behind Heaven Heart.”

Tian Guangming still had a goal of chasing up to Heaven Heart. They were all Master’s subordinates, so what gave him the right to be so strong?

Tian Guangming wasn’t weak either. It was just that his talent was not comparable. So, he would hug Master’s thigh. He would definitely be able to catch up and even exceed him like that.

Tian Guangming cheered himself on and then continued to clear the contracts.

He still had dozens more.

…

Within the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao wiped away the scenes in front of him. He stood by the window and looked at the numerous mountains.

“Now that the Bank of the Universe has saved up a decent amount, can we unlock the next peak?” Li Xiandao wanted to know what the gap to the next peak was.
