Chapter 109: The Ancient Lamp’s Killing Intent!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The area where the mountain was located was in a restricted zone within the Spirit Breath Village. Even if an Ancient Martial Artist neared it, they would not be able to take even half a step into it. If the area was forcefully entered, one would definitely be killed by the magnetic field in the area.

Only those who had reached the True Breath realm could stay for a short while and barge into the space. However, since no one had managed to achieve a breakthrough, no one had entered the space since it was opened!

There were, however, still some students around the mountain peak. As they looked at it from afar, they appeared as though they were paying homage to it.

The tremble of the mountain immediately filled the students with shock. Before they could respond, the mountain vibrated more strongly, and numerous runes appeared on it, shimmering continuously!

As it shimmered, rays of light emerged from within the mountain, forming a sea of light that spread outward into the skies in all directions. Looking at it a distance away, the light rays were endless, captivating everyone as they lit up the heavens and earth.

Students from the four major Dao Colleges within the Spirit Breath Village saw the glow that spread out in the sky no matter how far they were from the mountain. Their expressions changed, and they all felt incredulous.

“What happened?”

“What’s going on? Could it be that someone barged in?”

The glow was extremely strong. Even outside the Spirit Breath Village, the Chancellors from the four major Dao Colleges and the cultivators who were standing at the aerial port were all taken aback as they saw the light rays emerging from within the Spirit Breath Village.

“What’s going on?”

“This situation has never occurred before!”

The Chancellors from the four major Dao College looked unsettled. They rose immediately and focused their attention on it. Even they were unsure why something like this would happen, and worries began developing in their hearts at the same time. Every student within the Spirit Breath Village were elites from the various Dao Colleges, each having the potential to be the pride and joy of their Dao Colleges. If they were harmed in anyway, that would be a significant loss to the Dao Colleges.

If the harm was on someone that the various Dao Colleges had pinned their hopes on, the losses would be too much to bear.

Therefore, after the Chancellors from the four major Dao Colleges took a closer look, they immediately retrieved the jade slips and contacted the Upper Academy of their respective colleges, making preparations for rescue operations should the need arise!

As the people outside the Spirit Breath Village grew nervous, the students within the village also grew uneasy as they took deep breaths, questions and doubts arising within their minds.

Some students immediately gave up on their search for the Spirit Roots, deciding to leave after breaking through to the True Breath realm. However, those who tended to do so had only attained Spirit Roots that were less than five-inch. For those that have reached the six- or seven-inch stage, they persevered and did not attempt the break through, despite sensing that a change was happening.

“I must find the eight-inch Spirit Root and break through in that state!”

Different people had different choices. At this moment, deep within the mountain formed by the fragment from outer space, in the depths that no one has reached through all the times it was open, existed a large area of barren land.

In this barren land, uncountable statues and innumerable skeletons dressed in clothing from the olden days were abound. All the statues were similar, with three heads. Their facial expressions were different, with some laughing mockingly, some furious, and some crying. They were over twenty feet tall, like a combat soldier.

Their black bodies contrasted significantly from the style of the surrounding tattered architecture.

Almost all the statues were broken to certain degrees. Looking at the way that the skeletons were arranged, it appeared that when these people were alive, they had a life-and-death battle with the statues, and everyone perished in the end.

Only the statue at the extreme side could be considered complete. However, a long spear pierced right through the center of its glabella, with half of it hanging out!

On the right hand of the statue hung an old oil lamp that had already been extinguished. At this moment, a small flame appeared due to some unknown reason on this originally extinguished lamp!

The flame was extremely weak and could be extinguished easily. As it shimmered, a purple figure seemed to appear faintly within it.

The moment the figure appeared, an expressionless and lifeless sound reverberated from this almost complete statue that lay in the ruins.

“Discovered... extremist... kill... swallow!”

Though low and soft, the voice spoke in short phrases, as if there were incurable injuries or weaknesses that had existed for too long. It spread out, and the purple figure that formed from the small flame in the lamp hanging on the statue’s hand suddenly opened its eyes and stepped out of the flame!

The moment that it emerged, a purple glow shimmered from its entire body. It was the figure of a male, and he was expressionless with his long hair flowing lightly. Dressed in purple armor, a blinding purple glow emanated from every part of his body.

Very quickly, the purple armor on his body broke apart and rotted. The purple glow also faded quickly. Even his body lost support and swiftly disintegrated. In the end, all that remained was a faint purple glow.

That purple glow flickered as if it was about to disappear.

Everything that had happened previously was like an imaginary glory of the past. Now, it had rotted and weakened beyond redemption like the flame.

However, in the end, when ninety-nine percent of the purple glow had dissipated, the remaining faint purple glow seemed to stabilize, and it rushed forward suddenly, as if it wanted to escape and integrate into nothingness.

Just as it was about to leave, the mountain formed by the space debris glowed and lit up an even wider area. The runes surpassed their previous movements, suddenly forming a suppressive force!

The purple glow that wanted to escape began to flicker, as if an invisible force wanted to eliminate it. Its glow was significantly dampened, but with a final push, it managed to break free from the suppressive force, integrating and disappearing into nothingness.

When it reappeared, it was in the skies above the Spirit Breath Village. It was unstable even after rushing out of the mountain formed by the fragment. The glow from the mountain continued endlessly, and symbols shimmered without stopping. The suppressive force remained, coming in from all directions and compressing it again, not wanting to give up without wiping the purple glow out!

As it resisted the suppressive force that was trying to dissipate it, it grew dimmer, but the purple glow’s speed did not decrease one bit. After it decided on a direction to advance in, it charged toward it with lightning speed!

It was heading right toward the mountain where Wang Baole was mediating!

“Discovered... extremist... kill... swallow!”

Instantly, the purple glow appeared in the mountainous area that it had decided on. Without stopping, it charged with immense energy toward it!

At that moment, Wang Baole was sitting in the cave in the mountain. The Spirit Root in his body was no longer green but silver, having integrated with the nine-inch Spirit Root.

It had grown numerous roots, wrapping around the devouring seed and spreading throughout his body, integrating with each and every meridian. The process was not painful. In fact, it had been comfortable to the heart and mind, like a rapid evolution. It was a joy towards the transformation of his body!

Sensing the spread of the Spirit Root within his body, with the transformation of the meridians growing from ten to seventy percent, Wang Baole was excited. He clearly felt that his sensitivity toward Spirit Qi was also heightened swiftly.

Wang Baole’s experience was like equating the Spirit Qi to the cold air in winter. Previously, he had been dressed in clothes, and though he could feel the coldness, it was still lacking. Now, however, it was like all his clothing had been removed, and his experience and sensitivity to the cold air as he stood in the freezing winds were completely different.

This metaphor seems appropriate.

Though he was in the process of breaking through, Wang Baole was still conscious. Now, he noticed that the Spirit Root had already spread and integrated with eighty percent of his meridians. As it progressed to ninety percent, he felt even more joyful.

Once I’ve completed the breakthrough, I’ll go take a look at the mountain formed by the fragment. The Chancellor has treated me well, and so has the Dao College. If I can bring more materials out for them, I’ll try my best.

Wang Baole was excited and filled with anticipation, realizing that he was about to break through.

But at that moment...

Something unexpected occurred!
