Chapter 1053: Miserable Man!
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
In the capricious rolling purple qi, the bloodstains were all gone on Ye Xiao's face, which looked pretty ferocious because of the bleeding eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. The injuries not only in his face but also in the rest of his body were all gone instantly!
All the fatal wounds that he should be suffering from head to toe were all gone!
As if nothing ever happened...
However, he was still in the delusion.
Yet everything was different. Because of what was happening at the moment, it could be said that he had passed the delusion challenge.
A good fortune may forbode bad luck, which may, in turn, disguise as a good fortune. The endless purple qi rushing into his body was too much for him to take as he was still too weak. He should have died in an explosion.
His physical condition was in an extremely negative situation. That meant he was definitely going to die in such a condition. However, his East-rising Purple Qi was the most fundamental energy form of the purple qi in the world. Ye Xiao couldn't handle the massive purple qi, but the purple qi automatically rushed into him to recover his broken body. It all happened during the moment when Ye Xiao was still lost in the delusion. Even though his body was almost festered, the purple qi forcibly saved it. The enormous amount of energy should be a fatal strike on Ye Xiao, yet it turned out to be a miracle that saved his life. Things were sometimes strange and unpredictable!
Ye Xiao himself didn't know the change, but the powerful men who were watching from the other side immediately understood what happened. They marveled in their minds. [He is after all the chosen man. In such an unchangeable despairing situation, he could actually return from the path to death and escape from the crisis! How lucky!]
Ye Xiao had passed the most dangerous part. What came next were all royal roads. The jade stele was melting faster and faster. In the end, it became a stream of light shooting into his forehead between the eyebrows.
All was done!
"It's done!"
"Ji Mo lost it!"
"He has just lost it all!"
"Hahahaha… Laugh my ass off…"
The men couldn't hold it anymore. They burst into crazy waves of laughter. Only Ji Mo was still obsessively staring at the void where there was no image anymore, with his mouth wide open, even still showing the laughing face of him.
Yet he looked just like an ordinary man who had just bumped into ghosts... Unbelievable.
"Holy hell! What the f*ck just happened?" Ji Mo crazily grabbed his hair and suddenly jumped up high. "Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, I'll be damned…"
The others saw him like that and laughed even harder, and they started to feel pain in the belly.
"That is truly unexpected. The guy actually broke through a new level in the delusion. The breakthrough even drove the purple qi gathering to him from the world, turning the danger into safety… Well, it seems Ji Mo has been playing an important part in this thing. He actually helped that young man. Otherwise, Chief should have lost it for real…"
"Chief continues his legend of invincibility!"
"That was close though."
"We must admit that Ji Mo is such a good guy… He would even let himself lose to help Chief with the legend of invincibility. What a self-giving virtue! How can anybody not be touched… I don't care if you are moved, I definitely am… Hahahaha…"
"I am touched too. I am puffing… Ji Mo lifted a stone to hit his own toes. He was winning it, yet he had to witness the young man return from death. How delectable."
"I can't stop laughing… My belly is exploding because I am laughing so hard… I haven't been so happy for thousands of years… I decided to live on this hilarious memory from now on…"
"Me too…"
The men were laughing so hard, but Ji Mo felt like he had just lost his parents to death.
"The bet is done." Tianji started to announce the result, "At the end of the gamble, Ji Mo is the biggest loser. Hmm. Let me check. In total, he has lost… a daughter, seven times of hard whole-day fights against Chief Xie… and three times of fights against our Chief… and more… Let's congratulate Ji Mo for he has gotten so much from the loss!"
- Pah, pah, pah, pah... - The crowd burst into clapping. Everybody was happy.
While they were clapping, they staggered with laughter. They would keep laughing even if it would explode their bellies.
"It doesn't matter that he lost it. What matters is that he himself helped his rivals win… What a peculiar story! What a freak!"
"Ji Mo, I can't stop admiring you…"
Ji Mo was utterly discomfited, "No, no, no, no… This isn't right. How could it be?"
The Chief in black said, "Tianji, why don't you explain it to him? I don't want him to be ill-affected."
Tianji smiled and blandly said, "Actually, the breakthrough in the delusion is never the point!"
Ji Mo burst in anger and started shouting, "What? What did you say? That is not the point, then what is? That can't be right. It is not what it was at all. No. It can't be!"
Tianji was casual and calm. He continued, "Ji Mo, you are also a superior cultivator in the universe. How could you talk like an ignorant fool? The delusion is created by us with our own energy, isn't it? How could anybody under our level possibly pass it?"
The others all nodded.
[Who could get pass the Disorientation Array that the nine of us created on our own?]
"The point of this challenge is never to make him break it in any proper way. It would be impossible to pass it by that. What he needed to do was simply defend himself from the impact of the delusion. In fact, to endure the impact of the delusion was already something he couldn't do. With his poor strength, it was impossible for him to actually do it. What he needed were luck, destiny, and fate.
"It is the truth. His special martial art is unique. It burst automatically and protected him from the first wave of impact. Then he passed the sword and saber scenes because of his good fortune. After that, he had a big resistance to the delusion. That supported him.
"Ji Mo, you saw the delusion and you thought that the only way for him to get out was to break the delusion. Doesn't it mean that you have put that man to the same height as us? Ridiculous! When Chief made a bet with you, the young man had survived from all those scenes. You actually accepted the wager. It means you were bound to lose. After all, all the young man had to do was to get beyond his own limitation and break through to a new height. That brought him to safety from danger and made him pass the challenge. As the chosen person, the man who was blessed by heavens, the last thing he lacks is good fortune. All in all, you have lost a big one, but you deserve it."
