Master of Untold Daos
chapter-378

“I have to say, with no Gold Immortal bored enough to join the play, you can escape anytime when up against Celestial Immortals. Oh, renowned thief Bu Liuhen, I believe you have the wealth to back this up.”

Bu Liuhen puffed up his chest, “Per Sire Faceless’ orders, I have come to take control of Dark Star!”

Dark Star Lord scowled, “I heard something was moving, and do not doubt you’re under a Faceless, but I will not accept. Why is it that you are worthy to be a Blade and I not?”

A black mist slipped through the cracks and took shape into a half-crying and half-laughing mask.

Chen Ming finally came to see the wielder of the dark power in the Three-headed Dragon Constellation.

One look was enough to tell him something was awry, This guy’s a Gold Immortal!

All question marks. If not Gold Immortal then what?

Damn, how come I didn’t see such a brilliant Fate Star?

Yet thanks to his added identity as Faceless, it allowed Chen Ming too peer through some of the question marks.

As per any Gold Immortal, stacked with a string of auras, Chen Ming soon nailed down the crucial ones.

‘Servant of Darkness Aura

Description: he clings to darkness and has complete faith in its supremacy.

Effect: power increases by 10% at night.

Darkness’ Asylum Aura

Description: he who walks through darkness shall have its protection.

Effect: darkness has a certain effect on concealing one’s Fate Star.

Darkness’ Fanatic Aura

Description: complete and utter devotion towards darkness.

Effect: ignores pain

Rider Among Thousands Aura

Description: isn’t it obvious for an assassin to have a unique skill? As long as no one finds me, my stealth is flawless. He always longed to be the number one assassin, yet he got discovered each and every time…

Effect: while mounted, power doubles.’

…

Well damn, another freak with a completely skewed up skill tree.

That Darkness’ Asylum Aura must have interfered with my Heavenly Imperial Dao Cannon.

But Chen Ming didn’t fail to notice the crucial part, once in the Immortal realm, the gaps in danger value weren’t large. Auras were of utmost importance.

Like this guy’s Rider Among Thousands Aura and Yang Hun’s Nine Sun-shooting Arrows Aura. Each could effectively double their danger value.

This was where the difference laid between Gold Immortal and those bellow. The danger values were close but their aura’s effects were in a whole other league.

No wonder Heavenly Court’s Celestial Immortals were all trash. This type of Celestial Immortal, who didn’t go through the usual process, wasn’t presented with the chance to gain auras.

That’s fair, as all Gold Immortals have some special means. Or how the hell would they have gotten there in the first place?

If we extrapolate, Immortal Kings are beyond freaks while Martyrs are downright insane.

If we now turn to my auras, they’re all nothing but gimmicks.

It must be related to how few title challenge missions I completed, barely one. This is totally normal.

My fame has long surpassed the million mark. I just need to finish my current title challenge mission and I’ll get the next one.

Obviously, it has to do with how hard this mission is. The harder it is the better the auras’ effect.

I need to figure out a way to up my power after the war.

If not for Heavenly Court and Jade Lake sealing up the paths, they would’ve sent Celestial Immortals on his tail, letting his body cool on the ground.

But this is all a pure coincidence. Nabbing another Gold Immortal couldn’t be better!

Never in his life had he run into such a chance, so much so he was almost in denial, wanting to check his auras for a hidden Luck Aura among them. He peaked, Yep, none here.

Dark Star Lord kneeled before Chen Ming, “Sire Faceless, I refuse to accept it!”

Chen Ming roamed around the hall and finally settled on the seat of honor, “Since you refuse, show me what makes you worthy to act as Blade.”

Dark Star Lord was indignant as he eyed Bu Liuhen, “Sire Faceless, Bu Liuhen doesn’t merit my attack!”

Chen Ming figured it out at last. The Dark Star Lord must have always waited for the next Faceless, me. But I had no idea there was a general over here so it slipped my notice.

There’s no need to doubt this chap’s loyalty, not with the Darkness’ Fanatic Aura and Servant of Darkness Aura. And what was the Galaxy’s darkness? The Headless Assembly, of course, the strongest power there ever was.

As recruiting him was now the case, Chen Ming had to add on an extra layer of mystery to his act. I can’t do it myself since I’m no match. Right, a match!’

“I have the perfect man for you to face. Take his five arrows and I shall grant you the honor of serving me.”

Chen Ming didn’t say nine since Yang Hun’s nine arrows would leave Dark Star Lord dead as a doornail. Plus, he’s a guy with a completely skewed up skill tree and is oblivious to his increase in power while mounted.

Chen Ming said, “Get ready.”

Dark Star Lord spread his black robe and fished out a fifteen-foot-long Heaven-drawn Halberd, Immortal’s Pressure billowing!

Chen Ming wanted to facepalm, Are all my men broken?

Tell me, can you even call a fifteen-foot-long halberd wielder an assassin?

Getting a response through Heavenly Wolf Bow, Yang Hun nocked an arrow and shot at the designated target!

The arrow traveled through six stars like a flash. Dark Star Lord was an assassin and still had a danger sense hidden somewhere inside, spinning the halberd to block the arrow.

As the wolf fang arrow struck, Dark Star Lord staggered a step.

Dark Star Lord was in a daze. He must be very strong. I can’t grasp his position yet he just shot an arrow with such power?

Yang Hun was preparing a triple shot!

The three wolf fang arrows streaked through the sky and were on Dark Star Lord in a blink. He twirled the halberd while dodging the first, getting ready to slam the incoming attack.

He struck the wolf fang arrow in mid-flight just as the last one brushed along his neck, leaving a trail of blood.

Dark Star Lord’s heart was jumping now, He’s more than just strong!

As for Chen Ming, he stood in shock to a Gold Immortal’s display of power. A Gold Immortal’s might goes beyond all logic! The arrow still retains power even after flying through seven stars!

No matter how you slice it, this arrow could shoot down stars!

Chen Ming now got the basics regarding the existence called Gold Immortal, a being with the danger rating of star destroyer.
