Chapter 216: Heavenly Devil Real Body, Demi-Mysterious Realm

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Black smoke billowed!

Mie Chen, Lord of the Northern Dark Sect, was an expert above Level Nine. With his incomparable Dark martial arts, he had remained unbeaten for centuries in Jianghu. He was known as one of the Grandmasters of Northern Yuan, together with Kunlun Master and Living Buddha Ba Siba.

The Yin Evil Blackdragon Smoke was what had made him unbeatable!

It should be called the Nine Yin Blackdragon Smoke Gang!

The seething black smoke billowed, and his furious roar bellowed like thunder.

“Please, Dark Lord Mie Chen, you’re somehow known as a Grandmaster. Aren’t you ashamed to shout so loudly?”

Wang She’s lazy voice came from the wind and snow. “Shouting loudly doesn’t necessarily make you right!”

“Wang She, this is your last hour, yet you are still boasting. When you’re dead, I’ll cut out your tongue and send it back to the Tian Long Mystic Mountain. Then you can boast as long as you like!”

The thick black smoke surged again and then it condensed into the figure of a strong man. He descended from the sky and landed in the valley. He displayed a majestic expression and gestures.

“Hit by my Star-shattering Hand, your insides have been half destroyed. Even with your cultivation of Level Nine, you needed two or three years to recover. At this point, instead of planning to escape, you dare to meet me here. You must be plotting something!”

Dark Lord Mie Chen was nearly ten feet tall and strong like a bull. Though his Qi Power was completely under restraint, he still gave off an intense physical force.

Evil light flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Wang She covered in green light and sneered. “It seems that you’re quite alive now. Could it be that you have taken the Heavenly Dragon Divine Elixir from your Tian Long Taoism?”

“Why should I tell you?”

“It makes no difference. Even if you did take the Elixir to suppress your injury and improve your cultivation temporarily, you could only raise your cultivation to just above Level Nine, the exact same as mine.” Mie Chen laughed grimly. Black smoke billowed from his body again and a big hand flashing with silver light suddenly appeared, moving straight towards Wang She’s face!

“Star-shattering Hand?” Wang She’s sleeves lifted and cyan Gang Qi surged. PENG! Wang She hit the big hand head-on. With a dull thud, the ground under their feet shook and then cracked. Stones rolled down from the nearby mountains and scattered everywhere.

Wang She took two steps backward. There was a glimmer of blood at the corner of his mouth, but he smiled even more widely and said in a low voice, “This Heavenly Dragon Divine Elixir is actually of very high value. That old thing didn’t fool me. Mie Chen, it seems that this time my power is equal to yours!”

“Being a Divine Pill, the Divine Dragon Pill of course has a divine effect. But if you think that by improving your cultivation to my level with this pill, you can compete with me, then you’re being naive!” Mie Chen’s black smoke expanded and encircled Wang She instantly. “Young man, enjoy my Nine Yin Blackdragon Smoke Gang! Though you may have the same cultivation as me, your Gang Qi has only elementarily reached Level Nine. It’s not wise for you to show off in front of me!”

“Damn it!” The thick black smoke enveloped Wang She’s body. A hissing sound could be heard as the Nine Yin Blackdragon Smoke Gang and the Jade Original Power Gang converged. The black smoke turned into a rivulet of thin black snakes that tried desperately to penetrate the Gang Qi.

The Jade Original Power Gang first gave out a bright cyan light. But then the light gradually died away with the penetrating of the black smoke. Wang She’s face darkened.

Mie Chen was right. The Elixir could indeed improve his cultivation temporarily. As for the Gang Qi battle, he was only new to Level Nine while Mie Chen had been a famous expert at Level Nine for hundreds of years. What was worse, Mie Chen’s Yin Evil Blackdragon Smoke had already been cultivated into Nine Yin Blackdragon Smoke Gang which resisted his Jade Original Power Gang.

“Jade Original Power Gang. What a great fame! Break!” Mie Chen sneered. The black smoke surrounding him suddenly sent out nine cold blasts of Qi and froze the Jade Original Power Gang in an instant.

Then the black smoke began to shrink.

With a crackling sound, the Jade Original Power Gang was completely crushed instantaneously!

Wang She drew back hastily. Cold light flashed in his eyes. HU! A huge cyan snake surged from his body, covering him and blocking all the black smoke outside.

SHUA!

The enormous cyan snake scurried out into the surging black smoke. Before long, the snake was completely swallowed up by the smoke. Wang She did seem the least bit surprised. Then the Nine Yin Blackdragon Smoke Gang stirred from inside. Wang She pulled out a long purple bamboo stick from his sleeve. With a stir, purple light flashed and blocked all the black smoke pouring toward Wang She.

“Asura Destroyer Pole!”

The purple stick in Wang She’s hand, like a purple viper, tore all the black smoke apart and pushed it away. Wang She leaned forward.

ROAR!

A shrill roar came out of the black smoke and the huge cyan snake which had come in to stir the Smoke Gang just now was popped out as if it had taken a blow. Though Wang She was charging forward and seemed unstoppable, after seeing the snake get blocked by a powerful strength he looked terrified. A look of horror flashed in his eyes. He used the stick to weave a dense purple net of light and the cyan snake was integrated into his body. He drew back hastily and ran out of the enveloping black smoke circle.

“Hahahaha!” A cackle of triumphant laughter rang out above the roar of the wind and snow. The black smoke surged fiercely and a huge demon god shimmered within. The only thing that could be seen clearly was the wicked red light flashing in the eyes of the god. It looked frightening on such a cold stormy night.

“Heavenly Devil Real Body! You actually condensed the Heavenly Devil Real Body?!”

Wang She retreated quickly in the wind and snow with astonishment he was unable to conceal. “You’ve already entered the Mysterious Realm!”

“Hahahaha!” A majestic figure flashed out from the black smoke. Dark Lord Mie Chen was standing in the air surrounded by swirling black smoke. Above his head, a hideous demon god about 10 feet high showed itself.

“You’ve got a good eye. However, you’re wrong about one thing. I’m still one step away from the Mysterious Realm!” Mie Chen advanced toward Wang She who was drawing back rapidly step by step. It seemed that Mie Chen was slow, but in fact he strode out hundreds of feet in one step, at a speed faster than Wang She’s. “Only when I can integrate this Heavenly Devil Real Body to my own body, can I finally enter the Mysterious Realm!”

The distance between Mie Chen and Wang She was shortened in half.

“Perpetual Purple Bamboo of the South Sea. Tian Long Taoism is actually a big sect since you can get this. This Bamboo is known for being able to destroy all evil. I wonder whether it can destroy my Nine Yin Blackdragon Smoke Gang?!”

Mie Chen said with a voice of ridicule. “Ask your hidden friend to show himself so you can have company on your way to hell!” He stretched his hand toward the purple bamboo in Wang She’s hand as if the distance between them didn’t exist.

“Hmph!”

Wang She snorted coldly. The purple stick in his hand gave off a bright purple streamer and struck Mie Chen’s hand.

It was a simple fight. One tried to grasp by the hand while the other struck with the stick.

It was like two kids fighting and it lasted only for a second. But to Junior Leopard, that second seemed like several hours.

In the process of stretching, Mie Chen’s hand had made hundreds of changes and he tried dozens of clawing skills to grasp Wang She’s bamboo stick. But Wang She’s stick was so agile and quick that it shifted with Mie Chen’s claw. Both of them wanted to seize each other’s weakest point while hiding their own.

“Is this the battle between real experts?”

Junior Leopard, who was hiding in the dark, couldn’t help feeling aghast. Compared to them, the experts he had bombard to death, like Dragon Granny and that guy from the South Yuezhou State, were far weaker. He was afraid that only Buyan Gerel had held a cultivation anywhere near theirs. But Buyan Gerel had been too confident which was why he had been trapped and unable to give full play of his real strength.

SWISH!

A slight rumbling echoed in the wind and snow. Wang She’s stick and Mie Chen’s hand finally connected, with the tip of the stick directly pointed towards Mie Chen’s palm. It seemed that Wang She had gained the upper hand. Using only a little strength the tip of the stick could pierce Mie Chen’s palm. But, was it really that easy?

One could tell from the reflection on Wang She’s face that instead of emitting out, the light of the purple stick was completely engulfed by the black light.

Mie Chen’s palm was not his weakest point. It was his strongest!

Heavenly Devil Roaring Bomb!

A huge roar came out from Mie Chen’s palm like thunder. It was so loud that even Junior Leopard who hid 300 feet away felt panic. Black light roared out from his palm. The light on Wang She’s stick was fought back. Wang She’s face fell. He waved his stick continuously to protect his weakest point. With blood squirting from his mouth, he fell to the valley like a bloody gourd.

Mie Chen watched Wang She fall, blank and motionless. A hint of purple-black blood dripped from his palm. With a flick of the hand, he shook the blood off. If it weren’t for Junior Leopard’s extraordinary eyesight from his Fiery Eyes, he wouldn’t have seen that Wang She’s attack also caused considerable damage to Mie Chen.

“What fierce Sword Qi!” Mie Chen kept his hand inside his sleeve. A black light flashed in his eyes. “It’s the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. It must be the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword! Only this special technique has such a destructive power that it could break up my Nine Yin Blackdragon Smoke Gang. I’d never expected this special technique would be controlled by Tian Long Taoism and he has even mastered it!”

Thinking of this, terror showed on his face.

The fact that Wang She had mastered the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was not a good thing for him. He started to hesitate.

Junior Leopard was a time-traveler with comparatively weak cultivation, so he knew little about the secret stories in this world.

But Mie Chen was different. As one of the Three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan, he had traveled freely in this world for hundreds of years. With his identity, status, power and all that he had inherited from the Northern Dark Sect, he knew almost all the secrets in this world.

So he knew the power of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!

This special technique, even in the era when experts of the Mysterious Realm were seen as frequently as dogs, was known as the most destructive and devastating.

The so-called “Supreme Swordplay” came from it.

In this world, “Supreme Swordplay” meant that once one’s sword skill was cultivated to the highest state, then with one sword, he could be unbeatable alone, without any Gang Qi, celestial device or other secret skills or special techniques. For swordsmen aiming to reach the highest sword state, these extra devices and skills should not be used. They were all burdens and hindered their progress.

Nowadays, this kind of swordsman was rare but there were still a few. For example, the leader of the Golden Lights Cave was a typical representative.

But in a previous era, tens of thousands of years ago, the “Supreme Swordplay” referred only to the Sword Qi of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.

The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was the Supreme Swordplay!

These two expressions together referred not to the sword skill, but to Sword Qi and sword intent which could destroy and separate everything.

At the same time, Mie Chen also knew that Wang She had just newly cultivated the Qi of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword and he hadn’t gotten the insights of the intent of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword yet. If he had, Mie Chen’s hand would definitely have been crushed.

He began to hesitate. Wang She had used the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.

If the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was part of Wang She’s private collection, it was not a big deal. He could just kill him. But if this technique had been controlled by the Tian Long Taoism, then he had to think twice.

Tian Long Taoism was of the same status and power as the Palace of Destruction Demon in the Northern Dark Sect. Both sects had their own outstanding secret Arts and several old masters whose cultivation had reached the Mysterious Realm. Neither could really prevail over the other. But this Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword might break the balance.

He had now cultivated the Heavenly Devil Real Body. But tens of thousands of years ago, a saint in the Dark Sect who had accomplished the Highest Heavenly Devil had been split by the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, never mind his Heavenly Devil Real Body.

He was not only one of the three Grandmasters in Northern Yuan, but also the leader of the Northern Dark Sect and head of the Palace of Destruction Demon. He must think carefully before acting. Though since its birth, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword had only been fully cultivated by one person, who could guarantee that there would not be a second one? Besides, just as not all people could fully cultivate the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, there were many who could not fully cultivate the Highest Heavenly Devil, either.

The Qi of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was originally an unethical Sword Qi which would destroy whatever it came across.

Now, I have good reason for killing Wang She here and Tian Long Taoism can say nothing about this. But what about in the future?

After the Northern Dark Sect migrated to the prairie 30,000 years ago, it had always been a powerful backing for the whole area while receiving support from the prairie. But now it seemed that it was all over.

He knew clearly that Northern Yuan was over. The reason why he furiously hunted Wang She down had not just been to express his anger. In fact, he believed that even though Northern Yuan was really finished, the Great Jin couldn’t do anything to the Palace of Destruction Demon considering the strength of the Palace. The most possible result might be that the Great Jin expanded Northern Yuan and then the Palace of the Destruction Demon would become an existence like the Tian Long Taoism or the Mingyi School. Even if the Great Jin wanted to do something to the Palace, they didn’t have enough power. Just look at the Sect of Flame: If the Great Jin really had enough power, the Sect of Flame should have been destroyed ages ago.

Therefore, he was not afraid of the Great Jin. Neither did he worry that Northern Yuan would be swallowed up by the Great Jin. But he was indeed afraid of Tian Long Taoism!

He might not have been afraid of it before, but now he was. “What if this Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword really is controlled by the Tian Long Taoism? What if someone actually masters the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword in the future? What if that someone happens to be an unreasonable guy?”

Tian Long Taoism was reasonable, but it was good at training unreasonable guys who, once they’d mastered the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, might go and try their swords on the Palace of Destruction Demon. That would be the real trouble!

“What’s wrong with this old dog?”

Seeing that Mie Chen was just standing in the air thinking rather than going to chase Wang She, Junior Leopard was confused. He had knocked Wang She out of the sky and given him a crippling strike. It was a great opportunity for him. As long as he continued, it was very likely that he could keep Wang She in the valley forever. But why had he stopped?

As Junior Leopard thought too simply, he couldn’t understand Mie Chen’s distant concern.

“Could this guy have also been injured heavily by Wang She? Wang She was a tough opponent. Maybe he was recovering. But since Mie Chen isn’t going to continue, this is a good chance for me!”

It was indeed a good chance!

If Mie Chen was indeed badly injured and regulating his breathing in the air, it was definitely the perfect chance for Junior Leopard. Though the Heavenly Devil Real Body was still above Mie Chen and he was surrounded by the Nine Yin Blackdragon Smoke Gang, Junior Leopard was not afraid. It was useless to be afraid.

No matter what Mie Chen was thinking or why he remained still, it was a perfect opportunity. Mie Chen would not expect him to take action now.

Now, while Mie Chen had his eyes closed! This was the moment!

Once Mie Chen regained his presence of mind, Junior Leopard would have no chance.

Mie Chen’s strength had far exceeded his and Wang She’s expectation. Wang She had long regarded Mie Chen as an upper Level Nine expert whose cultivation was only at the peak of Level Nine even though he had been famous for so many years. Wang She had believed that even though he might not beat Mie Chen, he wouldn’t lose too heavily. Besides, with the help of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Elixir, he could reach the same cultivation as Mie Chen’s temporarily. Consequently, he had agreed with Junior Leopard’s idea after knowing what Junior Leopard could do.

But to his surprise, Mie Chen hadn’t shown his real strength when hunting him. The three Grandmasters in Northern Yuan, though often referred to together, were not really a united group. There were some old scores among them, and Mie Chen didn’t want the other two to know what he really had.

Therefore, Wang She had also underestimated Mie Chen and paid a steep price for it.

Under these circumstances when Mie Chen had shown overwhelming power, even Wang She wouldn’t believe that Junior Leopard could kill him with his limited techniques.

Having seen Mie Chen’s power, only idiots would try to touch on his nerves. Normal people would stay where they were and wait until he left.

Though Mie Chen had asked Wang She’s partner to come out, with the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, Junior Leopard was hiding in a secret place in the valley like a common stone. He was without breath, heartbeat, temperature or any other characteristics of a living thing. If not for his thoughts, he wouldn’t even feel his own existence. Junior Leopard was confident that Mie Chen could not find him.

So what he needed to do was to stay hidden and not worry about being found.

If he was anyone else, he might have just stayed hidden.

But he was Junior Leopard!

He came from a different world and had a kind of risk-taking mentality that common people didn’t have.

Seeing Mie Chen standing motionless in the air, he thought that it was a great opportunity and he wanted to grasp it.

So he started moving.

QIU! There was a slight sound. But it would easily be covered in the wind and snow.

“What?!” Mie Chen’s ear moved slightly. A rare expression of suspicion was seen on his face. Yes, suspicion. When Junior Leopard’s hand had reached his back, what he had on his face was still suspicion

WENG! A tightly-woven vibration emitted from Junior Leopard’s palm and extended to Mie Chen’s.

Black smoke was swirling. Junior Leopard snorted coldly and then disappeared.

“Die!”

It wasn’t until this point that Mie Chen’s shouting exploded and spread far.

“That was close!” Junior Leopard deployed his Three Realms Division twice, moving over 300 meters each time. Even though the cultivation of his body had reached Level Five, he felt the fierce movement of his blood and Qi and he couldn’t help shivering.

That was indeed very close!

Junior Leopard had fully prepared. He had prepared for the second use of the Three Realms Division before he deployed the first one and before that he had also protected himself with the Poison Cold Shield. Otherwise, he could have been fanned down from the air like Wang She. Without the cultivation and body of Level Nine like Wang She, it was very likely that would have died if the black smoke touched him.

Careful as he was, his Poison Cold Shield was still hit by the black smoke. It made his blood and Qi move irregularly and the Poison Cold Shield tremble. With just that one hit, the insidious Gang Qi had nearly passed through the Poison Cold Shield and made him suffer.

But he wasn’t suffering. It was Mie Chen who suffered a great deal.

But obviously, the power of the Infinite Trembling Contemplation was not as strong as he had imagined.

The black smoke surrounding Mie Chen in the air suddenly became intense and the Heavenly Devil Real Body above him roared fiercely. Invisible waves spread everywhere and turned everything within a thousand feet into powder!

This was:

The power of the Infinite Trembling Contemplation!
