Chapter 1629: Mummy Activated

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Dao Feng was no idiot. He did not move because he had been waiting for Jiang Yi to climb up half of the stone steps.

Jiang Yi was having difficulty walking, and that showed how terrifying the gravity was there. Dao Feng was waiting for Jiang Yi to climb up half of the stone steps and be rendered motionless by the terrifying gravity. He would then be akin to a live target. Dao Feng would be able to kill Jiang Yi much more easily.

His combat abilities were formidable, and killing Jiang Yi was no difficult feat. There were so many people present today as well. All the more, Dao Feng wanted to make the performance a perfect one. He wanted to easily kill Jiang Yi, so that everybody in the Heaven Domain would learn about this. Jiang Yi was named the top talent of the Earth Domain. If he could easily torture and kill the top talent of the Earth Domain, he would have reason to boast.

Tsk! Tsk!

His narrow, long, snow-white sword became brighter and brighter. All of a sudden, he thrust forward, causing a crackling sound to echo in the surroundings. A huge blade light appeared and traveled forward. It looked no different from ordinary sword light. There were two different colors: black and white. Moreover, it was mixed with the aura of life and death. Onlookers could not help but shiver when they looked at the light.

“Merged Quintessence?”

Jiang Yi’s expression hardened. Qi Qingchen had told him before about the Merged Quintessence. This was formed using two or more different types of Quintessence. If King-Ranked martial artists wanted to continue improving their own skills, they had to realize different Quintessence and merge them together. These Merged Quintessences were extremely terrifying and fatal.

“Life and death? How could he merge these two vastly different Quintessences? Dao Feng is really a prodigy among prodigies.”

Jiang Yi was secretly shocked, but this was not the time to grieve. The gravity might weaken his enemy’s attacks, but he did not have any battle armor on.

The stone stages were huge, and the stone steps were broad. Jiang Yi’s Wintry Pearl kept flashing nonstop, releasing countless Sword Emanations Race beings. At the same time, he rolled on the ground towards the left, steering the Sword Emanations Race to block his front and take the sword light for him.

Tsk! Tsk!

The sword light traveled extremely quickly, but after traveling hundreds of meters, it began to slow down. What’s more, its strength slowly weakened. This was understandable; stabbing a stone with a sword would take much more effort than stabbing at mud with the same sword. No matter how sharp one’s sword was, he would face difficulty when trying to break a stone with it.

Still, the sword light was traveling relatively quickly. By the time it arrived in front of the Sword Emanations Race beings, it was half its original size and speed. However, when it landed on the Sword Emanations Race beings, the latter were still rendered defenseless. In one second, tens of Sword Emanations Race beings were reduced to dust.

There was not much time. Jiang Yi rolled about sixty meters away and released close to a thousand more Sword Emanations Race beings. However, the gravity here was too strong. Ordinary Sword Emanations Race beings could not move at all. Thus, many Sword Emanations Race beings were pressed down against the stone steps. Less than a hundred Sword Emanations Race beings remained behind Jiang Yi.

“Damn...”

When he saw the sword light shooting towards him and the Sword Emanations Race beings reduced to dust, Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes. The Fire Dragon Sword appeared in his hand. He wanted to use the Fire Dragon Sword to fend off the attacks.

Should I summon the Sword Emanations King to fend the attacks off? What if the Fire Dragon Sword gets knocked out of my hands?

In the midst of all the action, a thought surfaced in Jiang Yi’s mind. However, just thinking about the Sword Emanations King caused his heart to thud. He remembered that there was an even stronger being inside his Wintry Pearl: the thirty-thousand-year-old mummy.

“Alright!”

He kept his Fire Dragon Sword and continued to summon Sword Emanations Race beings from his Wintry Pearl. This time, he surrounded himself with the Sword Emanations Race beings that he was summoning. He practically buried himself before he closed his eyes and entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man to feel the distance between him and the sword light.

A hundred and fifty meters, a hundred meters... sixty meters!

“Right now!”

The sword light broke through the defense of the Sword Emanations Race beings and charged right towards Jiang Yi. Just before it hit him, he released the mummy. The mummy was tall and huge like a godfiend. The moment it appeared, it blocked the entire space in front of Jiang Yi. It was just like a giant shield.

Bang!

The sword light struck the mummy harshly. The mummy glowed green but did not even tremble. Instead, it absorbed all of the impact. Not even a scar was left on its back. It was proving to be shockingly strong.

Buzz!

At once, Jiang Yi kept the mummy. He did not want to expose his trump card. He had consistently summoned Sword Emanations Race beings so there were Sword Emanations Race beings all around him at that moment. What’s more, he had only summoned this mummy for a split-second. Nobody on the outside had noticed it. Only Dao Feng saw a hint of green light.

“Eh?”

A look of shock flickered across Dao Feng’s face. First, he was shocked that his attack had weakened so significantly. Second, he was shocked by the green light that appeared in front of Jiang Yi earlier. His divine senses did not work in this place, and so he could only depend on his eyes. However, there were too many Sword Emanations Race beings rolling around, blocking his vision so that he could not see clearly.

Swish!

He stopped attacking. He was too far away, and his sword light was weakening too much. He was prepared to draw near to Jiang Yi before trying to kill him again.

“He!”

Jiang Yi struck the ground with a single hand and then mustered up more strength to continue to climb up the stone steps as quickly as he could. He was already halfway there. The gravity was continuing to increase, but he had also activated the Power of Heaven and Earth. His strength was already comparable to Qi Qingchen’s. If he tried hard enough, he was sure he would be able to withstand the gravity.

“Uh?”

After climbing up thirty stone steps, he noticed that Dao Feng was already one kilometer closer to him. Dao Feng’s physical body was so strong that he did not even bend over. Instead, the sword behind him lit up as if he was preparing himself to strike Jiang Yi at any time.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Jiang Yi suddenly halted. The Wintry Pearl in his hand kept flashing nonstop, releasing more and more Sword Emanations Race beings. Since the gravitational force was frightening, all the Sword Emanations Race beings were thrown to the ground the moment Jiang Yi summoned them. More and more Sword Emanations Race beings collected on the ground. In a few seconds, the entire ground was covered.

Still, Jiang Yi did not stop. He kept panting as he summoned tens of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings to crowd the base of the stone steps. The Sword Emanations Race beings were piling up to form a mountain, a defensive wall. Jiang Yi was prepared to summon hundreds of thousands more Sword Emanations Race beings, so that the space within three hundred meters of the stone stages would be covered. Then, if Dao Feng wanted to attack him, he would have to manually clear a path to head up.

“Is there any point?”

Dao Feng smiled mockingly as he continued to run forward. The Sword Emanations Race beings in front of him were already forming a mountain. What’s more, they were rolling down towards his feet. He easily waved the long sword in his hand, dicing those Sword Emanations Race beings. Even if Jiang Yi summoned millions of Sword Emanations Race beings, he was sure he could easily clear a path for himself; much less if Jiang Yi summoned only hundreds of thousands of them.

The mountain of Sword Emanations Race beings kept growing taller and taller. Jiang Yi was practically being buried alive. Still, he continued to summon more of them. It was almost as if he was ready to bury even the stone stages. The young masters, young mistresses, and formidable martial artists of the various clans raised their eyebrows. They could no longer spot Jiang Yi. It made them feel out of control. What if he tried to pull some kind of trick?

“Young Master Feng, don’t go near him anymore. This boy’s flames are terrifying. Destroy all of these puppets from a distance instead,” one of the King-Ranked martial artists from the Dao Clan said.

Dao Feng pondered about it for a while. After all, there was no way Jiang Yi could escape. He might as well start killing the Sword Emanations Race beings and see what tricks Jiang Yi still had up his sleeves. As he stood six hundred meters away, he thrust his sword out again, releasing another sword light. One by one, he destroyed the Sword Emanations Race beings.

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi, who was buried alive among the Sword Emanations Race beings, kept trying hard to advance upward. Dao Feng did not dare to rush up so he remained outside and attacked from where he stood. This was just what Jiang Yi wanted. As long as he could make it to the top of the stone stages, he would be safe for sure. The gravitational force was too strong here. Dao Feng would not be able to climb up easily either. If Jiang Yi could fight to get the upper hand, he would have a higher chance of being able to preserve his own safety.

The mummy could fend off long-range attacks, and his six-colored burning flames could fend off close-range attacks. How would Dao Feng kill him?
