Chapter 592: Apprehending
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
At the gathering spot of the Ghost Mark Clan, the two sages had their face as yellow as earth. The brilliance in their eyes faded.
One of them was astounded. His body suddenly trembled hard as if he just got hit mercilessly.
"It…It…"
He swung his arms. His eyes were panic-stricken as though he was drunk and lost his cognition.
"Does that kid really have the Spirit Realm cultivation base?" The sage holding the Yin Written Charm Scripture was relatively calm. He clenched his jaw, drawing the power of the Yin Written Charm Scripture. He inquired indignantly. "How could he solve our attack? Although we haven’t recovered fully, that First Sky of Spirit Realm brat could survive?!?"
"Is it the time changing that creates such strange things?"
"This man’s strange. He seems to know the supernatural Upanishads of our Ghost Mark Clan. I wonder what his relationship with our clan is."
"We must find him to make it clear!"
"You stay here. I'm going there to see if I can catch him."
"Be careful. You haven’t restored your strength fully. That kid is strange and evil. Don’t fall into his trap."
"Yeah."
. . .
Yue Ying’s eyes were as bright as diamonds. She looked at the man ahead of her. He slim fingers balled into fists, her soft body shivering.
Unbelievable!
Shi Yan had only the power of the Spirit Realm, but he could solve the attack of two True God Realm experts! She could see clearly that Shi Yan had used space power.
This man, does he really have a deep understanding of space power’s true meanings?
Yue Ying was frightened.
Zhu Yi waited for a long while, and he found that the intimidating power above their heads had disappeared all of a sudden.
He hesitated; he couldn't press his doubt looking at the sky. He then saw a drifting cloud area on the horizon of the void. But there was no intimidating rippling energy wave anymore.
"What happened?" Zhu Yi’s voice was a bit hoarse as he was uncertain. "It… Did Shi Yan solve that strike?"
Yue Ying forced a smile then nodded.
Zhu Yi was struck. Light shot out from his eyes. "How could he do that?"
"Space power…"
"Space power?" Zhu Yi was dazed. Suddenly, he shouted. "He understands space power! You mean, he knows how to use space power?" Yue Ying nodded the second time.
Zhu Yi shivered, but he hadn't said anything for quite a long time, his face admiring.
As his knowledge of space power was more profound than Yue Ying, he understood how formidable it could be once Shi Yan could control space power.
An expert who knew how to use space power smoothly would be the nightmare of enemies. If they didn’t have the secret treasures that could restrain it, a warrior using space power could always move and cross between spaces. They had no means to lock down that warrior.
In case this kind of warriors met an opponent he couldn’t face, he could sneak into a space slit and escape without damaging his body or his secret treasures.
Also, if they wanted to ambush the opponents, they would be the most dangerous assassins in this world!
You can never predict when he will appear behind your back. This feeling is like having a spear placed at your throat. Extremely irritating.
When this kind of warriors could perceive the slashing skill of the sharp space saber, he would become the best attacker!
In this world, nobody has ever heard about something that space saber couldn’t cut off.
The space saber was more gruesome than the sharpest weapons. To it, there was nothing it couldn’t pierce through. Bodies, treasures, mountains or rivers, even the souls; All found it hard to avoid the sharpness of space saber!
Zhu Yi smacked his tongue in awe. He looked at Shi Yan from a far distance. His countenance changed constantly.
Luckily, he wasn’t an enemy…
Zhu Yi felt lucky thinking about that, and the pressure in his heart was loosened a little bit.
At this moment, Shi Yan suddenly turned to them, smiled then said, "How are you? Where are the others?"
Zhu Yi and Yue Ying got their eyes distressed.
Shi Yan was surprised. He was bewildered for a while then asked, "Unexpected things happened?"
"Ye Xiong’s dead…" Zhu Yi sighed, his face bitter and sorrowful. He clenched his jaw then shouted. "I swear, I have to take revenge for him! To give us an exit, he had to burn his soul."
Yue Ying nodded, her face heavy and gloomy.
Shi Yan wasn’t so surprised. He sighed then said faintly. "I knew it would happen. The two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan are the True God Realm experts. If you face them directly, it’s almost impossible to win."
"Ghost Mark Clan?" Zhu Yi’s eyes suddenly got colder. "You know their identity?"
Although Zhu Yi and Yue Ying were the noble characters of the Radiant God Cult and the Spirit Treasures Sect, they didn’t know much of these ancient races. Having heard Shi Yan say so, they were cheered up and hurried to urge him.
"I know a little bit," Shi Yan nodded then frowned. "Anyway, we can’t stay here any longer. I think those two sages will come here shortly. We should leave first."
Zhu Yi and Yue Ying were frightened. They nodded continuously.
They feared for it.
It wasn’t that they were cowards; it was because of the big gap between them and the two sages. Along with the change of earth and heaven energy, the gap was extending. The longer they waited, the worse the situation could be.
"We should leave the Shady Firmament Old Mound first then we will plan the next step."
Shi Yan didn’t linger, taking back the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter into the Blood Vein Ring, he left directly.
After this time of comprehending space power, he had vaguely touched the threshold of space power. Now he could use space power to create a space slit and guide all the attacks of his enemy into that slit, saving himself from harm.
He had just tried the ability, and it didn't fail him. He was overjoyed that the space slit could even swallow a True God Realm's attack. This meant he had another precious way to save his life.
At the same time, after the washing of space power, the Essence Qi in his body had blended with a small amount of space power, which helped him trigger space power and that he could tear spaces as he pleased.
Of course, his current understanding of space power was far behind the realm Zhu Yi had thought of.
However, he had made an encouraging step. Together with the increase of his realm, the ability to control space would become more fluent. At that time, he could make it change more magically.
"You don't want to find him?" The Nine Serenity Soul Devouring Flame talked to him from deep inside his soul with a feeble voice.
"Its original seal had been divided and dragged into different spaces. Although it can’t be eradicated with only that, its power had been damaged badly. As its original seal can’t be joined again, it can’t restore the power. At this moment, it isn’t a threat anymore."
Shi Yan beamed a faint smile. "Don't worry. It can't hide. I know the space nodes of its parts of the original seal. Wait until my cognition of space power can leap another step, I'll go get it."
"You can take this chance to find the thing that can restrain that flame. At that time, you can subdue it directly!" said the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame.
"There’s something that can restrain that flame?" Shi Yan’s eyes brightened.
"Of course, everything in this world has a nemesis. They promote and constrain each other. Nothing is an exception or an absolute. Even though its thunder and lightning power is special, there’s something that it can’t harm even a bit. As long as we can find them and forge a treasure, of course, we can capture it. Harrumph, people don’t know how to deal with it, but I know it pretty clear!"
"Excellent! Seems it can’t escape my hands."
"If one day you can collect all the nine heaven flames, you will…"
"Will what?"
"You’ll know at that time. Anyway, this is really hard. Almost impossible."
"What if I can do it?"
"Then the mysteries you will perceive will be as profound as what God knows! Every creature will admire your fortune!"
Shi Yan was frightened.
Until now, this Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame had ignored everything.
Secret treasures or magical materials couldn’t get into its eyes of God. As a person who sat on a summit and had experienced everything, it seemed to not put into its eyes anything. Except for Shi Yan’s Blood Vein Ring, it disregarded everything else.
This was the first time this flame said something with a solemn voice. It astounded Shi Yan. Collecting nine types of heaven flames…
This thought rooted in his head. He couldn’t help but think about it. The more he thought about it, the bigger the feeling he had about the existence of something really magical was.
The nine heaven flames included the the Primal Chaos Sacred Flame, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the Immemorial Demonic Flame, the Purgatory True Flame, the Yin Spirit God Flame, the Vermillion Bird True Flame, the Ice Cold Flame, the Vanishing CorpseFlame; among these nine heaven flames, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the Ice Cold Flame, the Purgatory True Flame, and the Vanishing Corpse Flame had appeared.
Shi Yan had the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame and the Ice Cold Flame; Ye Chang Feng had the Purgatory True Flame; and the Vanishing Corpse Flame stayed with Qing Ming, the Master of the Corpse God Sect.
If things went well and he could get the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, it wouldn’t be tough to get the Vanishing Corpse Flame from the Corpse God Sect’s Master Qing Ming.
However, since Ye Chang Feng was his friend, it was hard to collect the Purgatory True Flame.
But if he could find something equal to exchange with Ye Chang Feng, it didn't sound impossible.
Heaven flames could detect each other. As long as the Primal Chaos Sacred Flame, Immemorial Demonic Flame, Yin Spirit God Flame, and Vermillion Bird True Flame existed in the Grace Mainland, perhaps he could meet them in the future and that he could have the opportunities to get them all…
Thoughts moved across his head. Shi Yan’s eyes brightened. His complexion was solemn as though he was considering the possibility.
The uniting of the nine flames that the Nine Serenities Thunder Flame had mentioned was the greatest enticement. He couldn’t help but want to carry out the plan immediately.
"We got out!"
Zhu Yi screamed then stormed out of a gloomy cave underground. He swung his arms and shouted. His sorrow seemed to be washed away.
"Ah!" Yue Ying screamed, facing the high sky. Suddenly, she shouted with fear. "Why does the sky look like that?!"
Shi Yan got out, lifted his head to look at the sky. He was stunned.
The sky was deep blue just like a vast sea. However, the sun, the moon, and the stars were there altogether. Stars scattered in the entire immense sky.
Under this blue dome of the sky, earth and heaven energy was floating like thick milky mist as though it had some wonderful changes. Countless unknown energies stormed out from different spaces, filling the whole sky.
