Chen Shi Tao’s eyes immediately turned red, “But Elder, all of you…”

 

“Rest assured, we will buy you the time you need. Remember, you must find a way to reach High Heaven Sect! Only High Heaven Sect has the means to protect your safety! This task will be arduous, but you must find an opportunity to bring the disciples to High Heaven Sect!”

 

“Elder!” Chen Shi Tao kept shaking her head.

 

“Go! Now!” The beautiful woman’s expression turned fierce as she shouted angrily at Chen Shi Tao, “Do you want my Clear Sky Sect to forever disappear from Shadowed Star? Do you want us to all shame Clear Sky Sect’s countless generations of ancestors?”

 

Chen Shi Tao’s face grew dull as she found herself unable to speak.

 

Another Elder from Clear Sky Sect looked at Chen Shi Tao softly and smiled, “Remember, you must live on. Great Elder will return one day, and as long as you can reunite with him, there will be a chance to revive Clear Sky Sect.”

 

“Go!” The beautiful woman shouted.

 

Tears flowed down Chen Shi Tao’s face as her tender body trembled violently. Kneeling down on the ground, she respectfully kowtowed three times to her Elders before getting up abruptly and preparing to depart.

 

At that moment though…

 

The beautiful woman standing atop the city wall and the few remaining masters of Clear Sky Sect seemed to notice something incredible in the distance.

 

If they were not mistaken, the rear camp of Corpse Spirit Religion’s army had been thrown into chaos as shocking energy fluctuations exploded out. Brilliant flashes of light erupted as hundreds of Corpse Spirit Religion soldiers were killed every breath.

 

“Elder Du, someone is attacking from that side!”

 

“I can see that, but who could it be?” The beautiful woman gently nodded.

 

“There aren’t many of them, only seven or eight in total, but they’re all incredibly strong…” An Origin Realm master commented as he could vaguely see that with each flash of light, Corpse Spirit Religion cultivators were being cut down like straw, a shocking sight to behold.

 

“Hey, that’s… that’s… that’s the Azure Sun Chaos Pagoda! It’s Great Elder! Great Elder has returned!” Someone exclaimed in excitement.

 

Everyone’s eyes instantly focused on a pagoda-shaped artifact that was several dozen meters tall floating high up in the sky, emitting a brilliant azure light.

 

This pagoda-shaped artifact rotated rapidly as it floated, and each time it descended from the sky, it would smash countless Corpse Spirit Religion disciples into paste. At the same time, it continuously sent out blasts of cyan light from its apex which vaporized any Corpse Spirit Religion cultivator upon contact.

 

In but a moment, as many as two hundred Corpse Spirit Religion disciples died under this artifact.

 

“It really is the Azure Sun Chaos Pagoda!” The beautiful woman’s eyes burst with amazing brilliance, as if she had seen hope again, her expression turning excited.

 

The Azure Sun Chaos Pagoda was one of Clear Sky Sect’s core inheritances. It was an artifact which was ranked somewhere between Origin Grade and Origin King Grade, a kind of quasi-Origin King Grade artifact.

 

And this powerful artifact was exclusively controlled by Great Elder Mo Yu.

 

At this moment, the Azure Sun Chaos Pagoda appearing here could only be because Mo Yu was also here.

 

Even if they could not see Mo Yu’s figure, everyone could feel Mo Yu’s familiar energy fluctuations across this short distance.

 

“Great Elder has returned, we’re saved!”

 

“Haha, kill them, kill those Corpse Spirit Religion bastards!”

 

“Don’t let any of them escape!”

 

“Vengeance for our Sect Master! Vengeance for our dead brothers and sisters!”

 

In an instant, shouts rang out from the wall as everyone vented their righteous indignation. All of them were so excited that if it were not for the orders of the beautiful woman, all of them would likely have already rushed out to meet Great Elder Mo already.

 

Among the crowd, only the beautiful woman frowned deeply, a trace of anxiety filling her face.

 

She could not decide if Great Elder suddenly appearing at this time was a blessing or a curse!

 

Although Great Elder’s strength was unfathomable, and he had an incredible artifact like the Azure Sun Chaos Pagoda to assist him… there were still too many enemies. If Great Elder was besieged by the enemy and unable to escape, then Clear Sky Sect’s last hope would probably be annihilated.

 

“Relay my orders, all Clear Sky Sect disciples who still have the ability to fight are to follow this City Lord to assist the Great Elder!” The beautiful woman’s thoughts turned quickly, and she swiftly reached a decision.

 

“Yes!” Someone replied immediately, moving to execute the beautiful woman’s command.

 

Not long after, the remaining forces of Clear Sky Sect had assembled. The beautiful woman looked around at the slightly fewer than a thousand people before her and a deep sorrow appeared in the depths of her eyes.

 

Out of Clear Sky Sect’s original population, only these few people were left, and all of them were injured and had miscellaneous cultivations!

 

Although Black Sea City had millions of inhabitants, only these thousand or so belonged to Clear Sky Sect while most the rest were ordinary people who had never cultivated before or had such low strength they wouldn’t be able to serve any role in combat at all.

 

“Our objective this time is simple: We must join up with Great Elder and support him. Are all of you prepared?” The beautiful woman looked around and asked sharply.

 

The thousand people wore solemn expressions and shouted in unison, “Yes!”

 

“In the future, all of your names will be engraved on Clear Sky Sect’s Wall of Heroes. Follow me!” The beautiful woman did not make a grand speech, but her tone was no less resolute, and with a wave of her hand, she was the first to rush out of Black Sea City.

 

The others followed close behind, each of them wearing expressions filled with righteous fury and a determination to fight death itself!

 

When the thousand remaining members of Clear Sky Sect rushed out of the gates, countless others followed them.

 

These people were residents of Black Sea City or cultivators who had fled here earlier!

 

They all understood the truth that in an open nest, there were no hidden eggs. Seeing Clear Sky Sect gather its remaining strength and launch an all-out assault, these people immediately joined them to contribute their strength.

 

In front of Black Sea City, it was as if a mighty army came charging forward!

 

“That bitch Du Yan Ling has finally gone crazy, hahaha. She wants to break through my Corpse Spirit Religion’s blockage with that bunch of trash that hasn’t even reached the Saint Realm? Kill them all then bring Du Yan Ling to me!” In the middle of Corpse Spirit Religion’s army, a burly man stood atop a tall war-cart, waving his hands extravagantly as he issued orders.

 

Like Fang Feng Qi, he had a Third-Order Origin Returning Realm cultivation, but no heat or life aura was coming from his body, instead just a slightly rotten odour lingered about him.

 

Corpse Spirit Race!

 

And a top-level Corpse General at that!

 

As soon as his voice fell, however, an azure pagoda suddenly fell from the sky towards him. Noticing this, the burly man snorted coldly and swiftly dodged the incoming assault.

 

With a thunderous boom, the azure pagoda fell and pounded the war-cart flat, along with its eight powerful mounts, leaving behind little more than some broken scraps and bloodied paste.

 

“Who goes there!” Covered in red needle-like hairs, and with two sharp fangs hanging out of the corners of his mouth, the burly man turned towards a certain direction and roared.

 

A beautiful figure suddenly appeared beside him, like an immortal fairy descending to the earth, behind her, was a pair of crystal clear white wings seemingly carved from the purest of ice-jade. Her body exuded a bone-chilling chill that seemed capable of even freezing one’s soul.

 

In her hands was a long sword that radiated cold light.

 

As this long sword slashed, it left behind a flowing icy-light.

 

The burly Corpse General tried to defend himself, but his defences were instantly pierced by the overwhelming chill.

 

Only three moves later, the beautiful woman’s sword separated the Corpse General’s head from his body.

 

*Kacha…*

 

An icy field spread out swiftly, and despite the incredible power the burly Corpse General’s body possessed, it was instantly encased in ice, all traces of aura disappearing from it in the next instant.

 

Su Yan!

 

This was the first time she had taken action since she left Scarlet Wave Star, but the combat strength she displayed was nothing less than jaw-dropping. Seeing her in action, Mo Yu’s eyes bulged in shock.

 

Mo Yu clearly felt how powerful this Corpse General was and estimated that it would take him at least two or three hours to defeat this abomination. Even if he was confident he could win, he was certain that he would need to pay a certain price for that victory.

 

But this woman of Yang Kai’s actually managed to defeat this Corpse General in just a few moves.

 

Yang Kai is already extraordinary enough, but how could his woman also have such phenomenal strength? Mo Yu was stunned.

 

After killing this Corpse General, Su Yan did not pause for an instant. Holding Profound Frost, she used the Monster Transformation Secret Technique to mobilize the strength of her Ice Phoenix Source and charged into the Corpse Spirit Religion army. No one was able to impede her in the slightest.

 

As long as she struck, all the enemies before her became ice sculptures.

 

At the forefront of the battlefield, there was a small group of Clear Sky Sect disciples still engaged in a desperate battle. This group had rushed out long before Yang Kai and the others arrived to buy time to repair the Spirit Array barrier around Black Sea City.

 

Originally numbering six hundred, there were now just over a hundred of them left.

 

All of them were in dire straits at this moment, surrounded by countless enemies, with some of them falling every breath, their fresh blood staining the ground red.

 

Among this group, there was a young girl with long hair who was as quick as a rabbit, dashing left and right through the enemy lines, her body radiating a brilliant multi-coloured light. She appeared soft and delicate, but her small frame contained terrifying power, every time her small fist punched out, the air around her exploding from the force.

 

Any enemy she struck who was not an Origin Returning Realm master would instantly explode and die.

 

Even First-Order Origin Realm masters would have their bones crack and their muscles tear when they suffered a blow from this young girl, causing them to cry out in pain.

 

A flurry of attacks was launched towards her constantly, but she was able to dodge nearly all of them with extremely agile movements. Even when she occasionally suffered a hit, she would not suffer much damage and instead become even fiercer in her assault!

 

This young girl’s body seemed to contain an incomprehensible power.

 

Were it not for her protection, the remaining hundred people from Clear Sky Sect would have been wiped out long ago.

 

Each of the survivors present felt immense gratitude towards her.

 

Her actions soon attracted Yang Kai’s attention.

 

The multi-coloured radiance which surrounded her body gave Yang Kai an extremely familiar feeling. It was clearly Sword Qi from the Five Elements Indestructible Sword Tempering Art!

 

Across a long distance, Yang Kai took a moment to observe this young girl carefully, and although she was covered in blood and it was impossible to tell her exact age, she did not look older than thirteen or fourteen, still in her budding years.

 

She possessed a figure that was not fully matured yet.

 

When her hair flew up at one point, a familiar face came into Yang Kai’s view.

 

“Could it be…” Yang Kai frowned before quickly wiping out the enemies in front of him and rushing over with interest towards the little girl, bringing Xia Ning Chang along with him.

 

Perceiving someone rapidly approaching her, the young girl turned her head rapidly while simultaneously sending out a punch.

 

Yang Kai raised his hand to block this punch.

 

*Hong…*

 

An extraordinary force erupted from this tiny fist, and even with Yang Kai’s great strength, he could not stop his body from shaking slightly. Fortunately, with his cultivation being significantly higher than this little girl, he did not embarrass himself on the spot, otherwise, he really wouldn’t have had any face left at all.

  1. If i’m not mistaken Yang Kai was about 12 or 13 at the beggining of the novel, so imagine him back then, fighting an origin returning master lmao

  2. Pagoda artifact? Sir Mo Yu, I now bestow thee the title of Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

    Yes, I got this from the Chinese god Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li.

  3. Mo Yu be like “Damn, this is ice fairy 🧚‍♀️can fight!”
    Yang Kai be like “Darn, I won’t be this little girl’s opponent in a few years! ”
    Su Yan be like “tsk tsk corpse dudes, how can you fight if you are all just standing like ice sculptures”

    Thanks for the chapter 😆

    This old master looks forward to the coming chapters.

  4. So she has a magical fucking body that puts her on par with Origin Returning Realms? Fuck off. That’s such bullshit and you know it, Author.

    1. Ikr, there’s no fucking way she would stand a chance at all. I swear author gives this stupid ass power ups to women, at least make it believable. Also the girl should be 19-20 years old now cuz she was 11 when Yang Kai left and it’s been 8 years since then, even author is getting the timeline confused

  5. How could that girl have already cultivated the Five Elements Indestructible Sword Tempering Art? Didn’t it say you need treasures of the 5 attributes all Origin King grade? Aside from that those are almost impossible to find on shadowed star, Yang Kai was a Third Order Saint King I believe when he first cultivated it and it was stated back then that if his cultivation was lower he wouldn’t be able to cultivate this Body Tempering Art, and this is MC OP CHEAT Yang Kai we are talking about.

    I really don’t know why the author is trying to push that little girl so hard but the way he is doing it just makes her unlikeable and her power undeserved. I really tried to like her but if the author continues to make her shit on everything he established beforehand that almost becomes impossible for me.

    Is it just me? How is everybody else feeling about that?

    1. 🤔Regarding the Five Elements Indestructible Sword Tempering Art, it was literally _explicitly_ mentioned that “it should not be difficult for [the High Heaven Sect] to collect a set of five-element supreme treasures.” (Chapter 1544) The only change is the ability to cultivate it with a lower cultivation, but “this is OP CHEAT [BODY Lin Yun’er] we are talking about.”

      This is like harshly complaining about how the hell can Xia Ning Chang can perform Alchemy without even using a Pill Furnace (Chapter 920). Every single Alchemist we have come across has to use a furnace, even Yang Kai isn’t exempt from it, I mean after all “this is MC OP CHEAT Yang Kai we are talking about.” Talk about an author pulling things out of nowhere and not taking their own universe seriously. The author “just makes [Xia Ning Chang] unlikeable and her power undeserved. I really tried to like her but if the author continues to make her shit on everything he established beforehand that almost becomes impossible for me.”

    3. They needed 5 treasures that were at least equal to origin king realm monster cores, which would be impossible to find on shadowed star, but they didn’t have to be monster cores. They just had to be as good in terms of quality. Yang kai managed to find most of the treasures on shadowed star, so it’s not impossible to get them, but the thing is the treasures that Yang kai got, the sun’s true essence especially, were very high quality. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to find stuff as high quality as the stuff Yang Kai got. With high heaven sects wealth and influence it should have been possible to get 5 treasures of the minimum required quality, and this in turn makes it easier to cultivate it, the main reason Yang Kai was in so much pain was because his treasures were too good.

      Another thing, the main requirement to cultivate the secret art isn’t a high cultivation, it’s a strong body. Which she has because of her constitution. If I remember correctly she was already beating first order saint kings in purely physical combat before Yang kai left. So in terms of pure physique she should have met the requirements shortly after Yang kai left. The other requirement was a strong enough soul so they could withstand the pain, and ye xi yun said she would work on that, so I guess she got there. Basically she used lower quality treasures so her requirements were far lower than Yang Kai’s.

      Also while she is shown to be strong, it is all just in terms of pure strength. There is nothing to indicate that her cultivation is super high(though she is probably at least transcendent now, maybe even a saint). They said she was beating Saint Kings, but when she hit first order origin realm masters, while she did hurt them, it doesn’t seem like she is going around destroying or defeating origin returning realm masters. Her limit is at Saint king, and she could already beat Saint Kings in pure physical combat from 8 years before. It’s just that now after 8 years she can do it even if her opponent uses Saint qi, because she has strong qi of her own, aka the sword qi. Sword qi is not like regular Saint qi or true qi, it doesn’t correlate with cultivation. The strength of the sword qi depends on what level she had reached with her body tempering art and what quality treasures she has used. Because of this even if she does have low cultivation, because of her sword qi she can keep up with Saint Kings.

      Maybe she is a Saint king herself, but I refuse to believe that, that’s just too much. Also someone else said she seems to have only aged 1 year from the last time we have seen her. But they never said she was 13 or 14, she looked 13 or 14. Her cultivation is probably higher than anyone would normally have by her age so she probably looks younger.

      Overall, I don’t think it’s too weird that she has begun cultivating the body tempering art, and while she has gotten alot stronger, I don’t think she has gotten as strong as people might think from reading this chapter.

  6. Giving people random totally undeserved powerups to keep up with the MC just is NOT the fucking way to go about it. Not ever does a person of any relative importance die and every time they are about die, Yang Kai just happens to see them for the first time in a decade and save them, the writing is soo unbelievably lazy and poor. I struggle to understand how I’ve found it entertaining enough to read almost 1700 chapters of this.
    Power levels are so damn stupid and lazy. For one, Yang Kai could kill the top master on origin third when he was origin first, when he became an origin second he could just effortlessly make an top level origin 3rd explode. Now after everything, 8 years, Super enlightenment from the Tong Xuan realm, superpowered shi and becoming a 3rd realm origin, we are somehow still supposed to believe he can NOT just snap his fucking fingers to kill origin 3rd and even kill origin king. He is STILL exchanging moves with some garbage 3rd origin fucking spirit zombie piece of shit. Holy fuck this is stupid. And all of his women are getting stupid undeserved powerups to stay relevant in the story like cmoon

    1. Hold on a second, it’s not that Yang Kai became weak against Origin 3rd opponents, he actually crushed head of zombie down into it’s body, deforming it greatly. It just he never met such opponents before and did not expected such sturdiness. He also banished bunch of body parts into void, but zombie still lives, which also never happened before.

      As for Xia Ning girl, she cultivated NON STOP, using alchemy and this is her main way of increasing power. It’s not like she magically received her power out of nowhere. Plus she still getting damaged and picking weaker opponents on purpose.

      As for Su Yan, we can accept the fact that she shares cultivation with Yang Kai since early days thanks to inheritance of Phoenix and Dragon. In fact we can even say their cultivation soared thanks to those ancient creatures.

      The only unfair and annoying power jump is that spider queen.

  7. It is actually funny how in Tong Xuan realm Yang Kai undone Demon God seal and released skeleton army upon his world, almost destroying it. Now he took Sun Essence from dungeon and unsealed some cave for zombies which almost destroyed Shadow Star. Author is already repeating himself and it’s a bad sign.
