Chapter 557: Chapter 557, Bei Mo Arrives
Chu Ming silently memorized the incantation for the Flying Shuttle, a profound sense of mystery echoing in his mind. Then, an ice-blue longsword appeared in his hand, vibrating continuously, surrounded by snow, with its tip seemingly about to crack.
This sword, the half-step Celestial-tier Blue Snow Sword from Bei Yun’s hand, originally belonged to the Palace Master of the Blood Cloud Palace, the Seven Array King. It was lent to Bei Yun and now belonged to Chu Ming.
The Blue Snow Sword had been nurtured by the Seven Array King for decades, on the brink of giving birth to a Sword Spirit. Initially, Bei Yun could wield it only because the Seven Array King bestowed a trace of his mark upon him. If Chu Ming couldn’t erase the Seven Array King’s mark from the Blue Snow Sword, he wouldn’t be able to use it at all.
However, he didn’t need the Blue Snow Sword at the moment, as he still had the half-step Celestial-tier Treasure Sword, the Blood Dome Sword, which was no less powerful than the Blue Snow Sword.
Buzz!
Just then, the Blood Skull pattern in the depths of Chu Ming’s mind suddenly turned red and became extremely hot, as if it were about to ignite. Chu Ming’s face darkened. This pattern in his mind was always a variable, and with his Soul Power, erasing it wouldn’t be done in a short time.
"Damn it!"
The unease in Chu Ming’s heart intensified. He summoned the Flying Shuttle, leaped onto it, and his Spiritual Power exploded. He chanted the incantation and merged his Spiritual Power with the Flying Shuttle. The Flying Shuttle trembled slightly, then instantly transformed into a white light and disappeared into the horizon.
On the Flying Shuttle, Chu Ming initially wobbled as he adjusted to its speed, but soon adapted. As he glanced around, the scenery within ten thousand miles came into view. What shocked him most was the speed of the Flying Shuttle.
"This Flying Shuttle’s speed should reach twenty times the speed of sound."
This was Chu Ming’s conservative estimate. It was also possible that his Cultivation wasn’t high enough to unleash the Flying Shuttle’s full power. His original flying speed was about twice the speed of sound, and the Flying Shuttle instantly increased his speed tenfold.
...
Swish!
The Seven Array King Mo Bei emerged from the void, his expression cold as ice, gazing into the distance towards Rainbow City. The atmosphere of Rainbow City instantly became oppressive, with everyone’s faces pale, hearts pounding with unease, not knowing what had happened.
"What’s going on? I feel my heart pounding, as if something big is about to happen."
A Great Power of Transcendence’s face turned pale. The Seven Array King Mo Bei’s aura was vast as the sea, making him feel as if he was being watched by a deity, not daring to move an inch.
Not only him, but the entire Rainbow City was in chaos. Most of the Guiyuan Realm Martial Artists had entered the Ancient Battlefield. Those below the Guiyuan Realm were trembling, crawling on the ground. Only Great Powers of Transcendence could barely stand.
The Seven Array King Mo Bei released his aura without restraint, approaching Rainbow City like a deity. The Sword Mad King, stationed in the Black Dragon Mountain Range, immediately sensed the unusual presence and frowned slightly.
"Why is he here?"
There weren’t many Kings in the Life and Death Realm on the continent, and even fewer Top Tier Kings. Naturally, they knew each other. Moreover, the Seven Array King Mo Bei, being the Palace Master of the Blood Cloud Palace, had even deeper battle prowess.
Boom!
As if a thunderbolt exploded in the sky, just after the Sword Mad King spoke, the space in front of him was abruptly torn open, seemingly watched by a deity. The Seven Array King Mo Bei, draped in a black robe, walked out.
Not far away, the Dark Heaven-Devouring Python’s eyes twitched, then became furious, roaring angrily at the Sword Mad King.
"Sword Mad King, what is the meaning of this?"
The Sword Mad King’s face darkened, and the Secret Technique of the Blade burst forth, transforming into an invisible Sword Qi, countering the Evil Qi emanating from the Dark Heaven-Devouring Python. The terrifying energy waves caused the entire sky to shimmer like fish scales, continuously shattering and reforming.
Clearly, the Dark Heaven-Devouring Python believed the Seven Array King Mo Bei was summoned by the Sword Mad King to ambush him.
"I didn’t call him."
The Sword Mad King replied solemnly, feeling a tinge of irritation. He had initially managed to control the situation, but the arrival of the Seven Array King Mo Bei completely disrupted everything.
"I’ve lived for thousands of years, do you think I’m a three-year-old child?"
The Dark Heaven-Devouring Python sneered, letting his Evil Qi spread towards the Human Race. Caught off guard, several Great Powers of Transcendence had the Evil Qi infiltrate their bodies, their faces instantly contorting in pain, their bodies swaying unsteadily in mid-air.
"He really isn’t here because of me."
The Sword Mad King replied gravely, his blade’s Secret Technique transforming into starlight and enveloping the Human Race’s stronghold, instantly isolating the Dark Heaven-Devouring Python’s Evil Qi. Countless blade lights streaked through the sky.
The Dark Heaven-Devouring Python fell silent, beginning to believe the Seven Array King Mo Bei wasn’t summoned by the Sword Mad King. If so, at this point, the Sword Mad King had no reason to lie.
Only then did the Sword Mad King turn to Mo Bei and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The Seven Array King Mo Bei’s eyes were indifferent as he gazed at the entrance to the Ancient Battlefield in the sky and said coldly, "I want to go in."
"Are you insane?"
The Sword Mad King’s expression changed drastically. Martial Artists above the Guiyuan Realm were not allowed to enter the Ancient Battlefield; this was a mandate from the Life and Death Palace. Anyone who defied it would be challenging the Life and Death Palace’s authority. Not even the Seven Array King Mo Bei could bear this responsibility.
"My son is dead. I must kill the murderer and avenge my son."
Hatred filled the Seven Array King Mo Bei’s eyes, like a deity on the verge of fury. The air turned crimson, and an inexplicable sorrow filled everyone’s hearts. When they came to their senses, cold sweat appeared on their palms. Was this the power of a Life and Death Realm King? To influence the emotions of others merely by his own feelings?
The Sword Mad King’s eyes trembled. With his level of strength, he understood the importance of offspring to the Seven Array King Mo Bei. It was no exaggeration to say that Bei Yun’s death was enough to drive Mo Bei mad.
"Have you thought this through? If you enter, not even the Blood Cloud Palace can withstand the Life and Death Palace’s wrath."
The Sword Mad King was deeply conflicted. His battle strength was no match for Mo Bei’s. Even if he wanted to stop him, it would be in vain. Thus, he could only reason with him, hoping Mo Bei would understand the implications.
"I don’t need your reminder. I’m no longer the Palace Master of the Blood Cloud Palace."
The Seven Array King Mo Bei shook his head, his black robe billowing fiercely as he charged towards the entrance of the Ancient Battlefield.
Boom!
The Sword Mad King’s mind echoed with Mo Bei’s words, and he profoundly felt Mo Bei’s determination for vengeance. In less than half a day, the news of the Blood Cloud Palace changing masters would spread across the Central Divine Domain, undoubtedly causing a great uproar.
