Chapter 1016: One Leaf to Upend Mountains!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Wind and clouds stirred. With a single hand covering the heavens, a singular clap of thunder could turn the sea of stars to dust!

At this moment, the Cosmic Gate played host to the return of a king! As Soul Hunter Hosu raised the Overcast Wind Mace, the entire universe seemed to be drained of light! Countless bolts of lightning blasted out of the sea of stars. They were incomparably bright and dazzling, a flame that could stun the universe!

This was Hosu!

This was the super-expert who had single-handedly sealed the Cosmic Gate! The only Soul Hunter in the universe!

It was like a god had descended. The Overcast Wind Mace began to devour the scattered souls around the Cosmic Gate. Those warriors who had yet to unlock their Soul Marks naturally could not see those countless streams of white energy entering Hosu’s body, but they could see the flashes of lightning!

Merely by activating the Overcast Wind Mace, Hosu had allowed everyone to witness this unbelievable sight!

The battle came to a sudden halt! Even the Founders were entranced by this magnificent sight and were unable to move even half a step.

“Heavens! Is this a legendary miracle!?”

“Miracle? This is the work of a god!”

“I don’t believe it! How could a mortal possibly be this powerful!?”

In the fierce battles just now, countless Inverse and Law Realm warriors had fallen into the Abyss, and while their lives had ended, their souls had yet to scatter. The Overcast Wind Mace came at the perfect time! Hosu activated his Soul Weapon, and whether it came from Inverse or the Law Realm, so long as it was soul power, he could absorb it!

At this moment, Hosu could no longer care about too much. What he needed to do was gather as much energy as possible so that he could seal the Cosmic Gate again!

Once the Cosmic Gate was Sealed, Xia Fei would have enough time to improve himself and his Soul Mark. Without the Founders controlling the Law Realm, Hosu could definitely help the universe produce more Founders!

Once the Cosmic Gate was opened again, the Law Realm, Hosu, and Xia Fei would have finished building up their power! Who would come out victorious would no longer be so certain!

Hosu could not help but grow excited at the prospect!

The zeal of the Skywing Clan, the devotion of the Law Realm’s countless brave warriors, and Xia Fei’s incredible potential! All of this gave him enormous confidence! Hosu was sure that so long as the Law Realm was given enough time, a day would come when it would trample over the home of the Inverse! On that day, the Law Realm would no longer be on the defensive, it would be charging straight out of the Cosmic Gate!

Hosu very quickly finished his first phase of energy accumulation. With his power of a Soul Hunter recovered, he raised his head slightly, his unfathomable gaze glancing at Solo, Constant, and the other two Founders.

That one glance left those Founders turning pale. There was no doubt that Hosu was now on a completely different level of power, not something that they could fight against!

“Go!” Solo roared. He decided to retreat, and had given up on the plan of destroying the Titans! Even a fool could understand that fighting with Hosu meant death! He was the universe’s only Soul Hunter! He was several planes above them in fighting power!

Whoosh~

The four Founders fled hastily. Xia Gucheng wanted to give chase, but Hosu reacted even faster than the max level Speed Law grand ancestor!

*Crunch*

The Overcast Wind Mace swung down! It smashed into Founder Chill’s head! A Founder of the Law Realm could not even dodge Hosu’s attack!

One could only sigh in melancholy, for Hosu’s level had reached a level that an ordinary person simply could no longer fathom! Even more astonishing were Hosu’s methods. A mighty Soul Hunter did not even resort to using Soul Arts, and had simply smashed Cold’s face in with the Overcast Wind Mace! How cruel was that!?

Had Hosu also been influenced by Xia Fei and started to go crazy!?

*Smack!*

*Crunch*

*Squelch*

Hosu’s brutal killing methods drew side-eyes from the Law Realm warriors. In the blink of an eye, the four Founders had all been bludgeoned to death by Hosu!

The Law Realm warriors felt like they were seeing things! They were all experts who had killed before, but they had never seen Founders being squashed like ants!

These were Founders! The entire universe only had ten-some Founders, but Hosu had killed four of them like he was chopping cabbages! Each one had been smashed to death!

“Whew!” Hosu exhaled. Absorbing the souls of four Founders had greatly boosted his mental power, and he was brimming with killing intent!

This moment was exactly when the counterattack of the Law Realm began!

Everyone was paying so much attention to how Hosu hunted souls that they had failed to notice a fifth giant head emerging from the spatial tunnel!

This was the fifth Titan!

Only a ghost knew just how many of these lethal cards Xia Fei had been hiding!

…

There were no rites or sighs. Old Man Qin Mang’s secret room was eerily quiet, punctuated only by Xia Fei’s breathing that gradually grew heavier and heavier.

Xia Fei did not stay to commemorate the old man’s passing. He knew that the best commemoration was murder, killing until all his enemies had been wiped from the universe! Doing so would allow Avril and his other friends like Qin Mang to experience safe and peaceful days!

Xia Fei was currently working toward this goal!

This was not just limited to the warriors on the battlefield who were in combat! In the secret room, Xia Fei was also fighting, and his enemy was not one bit weaker!

One leaf to upend mountains! The Fringe Mountain Leaf! The most mysterious of the Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea, and the strongest! Xia Fei’s enemy was none other than this troublesome and rootless leaf!

Not even in his dreams would Xia Fei have imagined that Qin Mang had collected both Hosu’s Soul Weapon, the Overcast Wind Mace, and the Fringe Mountain Leaf!

The Fringe Mountain Leaf was alone, like a maple leaf, bearing a bright red color and clearly-marked veins.

Before finding the Fringe Mountain Leaf, Xia Fei had imagined what this first of the Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea would look like many times, but now that it was at his side, he was at his wit’s end.

“Strange. I’ve never seen an Immemorial Mystical Armament like this before!” Xia Fei frowned as he spoke to himself. “In the past, when subduing the other Immemorial Mystical Armaments, they would always have fierce resistance, and even Peacock Blue required me to go through a rigorous mental trial that almost broke me.

“But this Fringe Mountain Leaf doesn’t strike me or even pay me any attention. It’s not reacting no matter what I do. If it wasn’t for you, I really would have taken it for an ordinary leaf and ignored it.”

Xia Fei’s complaints were not without reason. A war was going on, and Xia Fei didn’t have time to keep wasting on the Fringe Mountain Leaf. The Fringe Mountain Leaf was like an old monk in meditation. If Xia Fei put it on the ground, it would just sit there, and if Xia Fei put it in his hand, it would obediently drift into his palm and just sit there.

Extending his right arm, Xia Fei had tried to use Peacock Blue to absorb the Fringe Mountain Leaf, but Peacock Blue had gone abnormally silent, like a mouse seeing a cat. No matter how Xia Fei urged it, Peacock Blue refused to attack the Fringe Mountain Leaf.

“Radix, I remember you saying that all of the Immemorial Mystical Armaments fell from the Ark when it exploded. As the Ark’s soul, you should know how to subdue the Fringe Mountain Leaf, right?” Xia Fei asked him.

Radix helplessly spread out his hands and said, “To be more precise, the Immemorial Mystical Armaments belonged to the clan of your grandfather, the Aurora Clan. I’m simply a guard of the Aurora Clan, a servant, and a servant really only knows what their lords want him to. As for what they were used for, or how they were used? I don’t know anything. That was beyond the scope of my duties.”

Xia Fei pursed his lips. Radix made sense. As a servant, it was improper to peep at a master’s possessions. Thus, not even Radix knew how to subdue this strange Fringe Mountain Leaf.

After a pause, Radix continued, “But this Qin Mang has a truly surprising background. He’s actually a descendant of the God Race’s number one wandering warrior, Xex Sin! It’s no wonder he has so many treasures. He inherited all of them from his ancestor. Qin Mang probably spent the earlier half of his life wandering the universe because of the Xex Clan’s genes. After all, that clan has always loved adventuring.”

Xia Fei was shocked by Qin Mang’s background. According to the documents left by the old man, he was a descendant of the Law Realm’s Xex Sin. Xex Sin had wandered the universe, even becoming good friends with the Dark King, a sign of just how unusual his experiences were.

Alas, later on, Xex Sin had fled back to the Law Realm with the Dark Night Diary, triggering the long struggle between the Law Realm and the Dark Race. As the culprit, Xex Sin had naturally been killed, and his descendants were no longer able to stay within the Law Realm.

Thus, the Xex Clan had divided their great ancestor’s property, changed their names and faces, and fled for their lives.

Qin Mang’s ancestor had been Xex Sin’s second son, and he had inherited three incredible items before proceeding to hide himself in the Human Alliance. As time passed, the Xex Clan’s people gradually forgot that they had been part of the Law Realm, and their bloodline thinned until it ended with Qin Mang, who had chosen to live a solitary life.

Qin Mang never married, but in his later years, he had encountered the monstrous Xia Fei. Xia Fei’s rocket-like progress made Qin Mang gradually recall the tragic family history his father had once recounted to him, so he began to entertain the idea of passing his ancestor’s inheritance to Xia Fei.

But Qin Mang had heard of how cruel the struggles in the Law Realm were, and Xia Fei didn’t necessarily have a steady foundation in the Law Realm, so he had waited until he was on the brink of death to hand over the key to the secret chamber, in the hopes that Xia Fei could use the items within well.

As the Xex Clan had no extant bloodline, Old Man Qin Mang had also requested Xia Fei to reinstate the good name of the Xex Clan and allow the surviving members of the Xex Clan to return to the Law Realm.

The old man had recounted a heart-wrenching tragedy in his last words. The sorrowful family history of Xex Sin’s line had leapt out of the pages and moved hearts.

To tell the truth, Xia Fei really did have the ability to reinstate the Xex Clan! As the Skywing Clan’s Lone Wolf and a Superior Law God, if Xia Fei wanted to bring the Xex Clan back to the Law Realm, nobody would say a word. But the problem was… the Inverse were here! The Law Realm might not even be able to protect itself!

Putting aside his emotions, Xia Fei stared at the Fringe Mountain Leaf for several seconds. Suddenly, he had an idea, and he took out the only other Plant-type Immemorial Mystical Armament he had yet to subdue, the Warpsea Lotus!
