Chapter 2296: Invincible G.o.dking (Four)

Sitting on the mountain at the entrance to the World of Moon and Star, elder He Tian slowly opened his eyes. He looked towards the locations of the five candidates as he could not help but smile mysteriously. He muttered to himself, “They’ve finally thought about dealing with those vicious beasts. That’s right. There are indeed Radiant Origin Pearls where the powerful vicious beasts roam, except those vicious beasts aren’t as simple as you have imagined. They’re not going to be that easy to deal with. It’s time for you to suffer a little now.”

When his thoughts reached here, elder He Tian’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He abruptly stood up and stared into the distance. He became stern as he said, “What powerful ripples of s.p.a.ce. Someone has opened the gateway to the World of Moon and Star. Who is it?”

Before he even finished speaking, elder He Tian had turned into a streak of silver-white lightning as he shot off into the distance as quickly as he could.

A hundred kilometres away, s.p.a.ce distorted heavily. Countless cracks intersected as powerful pulses in s.p.a.ce radiated outwards.

This lasted for just a few seconds before the s.p.a.ce suddenly shattered like a mirror, forming a pitch-black spatial tunnel.

A figure shone with resplendent light inside the tunnel. He strode over firmly, entering the World of Moon and Star through the spatial tunnel.

After the figure emerged, the spatial tunnel behind him vanished, and the shattered s.p.a.ce also began to repair itself. Soon, it returned to its previous state.

At this moment, the resplendent light around the figure gradually vanished, revealing his appearance.

He was a young man who seemed to be in his twenties. Dressed in azure robes, his eyes shone like the moon and the stars. His firm, handsome face possessed a weathered sense that one could only possess after going through many trials, including baptisms of blood.

The young man hovered in the air with his hands behind his back. He looked around with his s.h.i.+ning eyes, studying his surroundings. He muttered to himself, “There’s a single star and moon in the sky. It looks like I’m in the right place. This is the World of Moon and Star, the place where the Radiant Saint Hall has chosen to hold a trial for selecting their Chosen Saint.”

As he spoke, he glanced to one side casually, and his lips gradually curled into a cold smile, “I never thought an elder would be here as well. The Radiant Saint Hall has truly prepared a huge gift for me.”

With that, a white streak of light shot over like a bolt of lightning. It arrived in a single instance and revealed elder He Tian.

Elder He Tian’s presence surged as Laws of the Hallowed revolved around him. He arrived while emitting ma.s.sive pressure, but his face changed drastically the moment he saw the young man’s appearance. He cried out, “Qing Shan, it’s you!”

The young man smiled. Coupled with his handsome face, it was extremely enchanting and very warm, enough to steal the hearts of countless young women in the world.

However, elder He Tian did not feel warm at all. Instead, his heart turned cold. As if he were facing a great opponent, his face had become extremely stern.

“I never thought you would know me. It looks like my name is very renowned in the Radiant Saint Hall,” smiled the young man.

“Qing Shan, how did you get here? And why have you come?” elder He Tian called out solemnly. Even though he had already condensed a soultree and was an elder of the Radiant Saint Hall, possessing a cultivation equivalent to the Primordial realm, he did not dare to become careless at all when he faced this young man who was only a G.o.dking.

Qing Shan’s name had already spread through the Saints’ World long ago. Many people knew about him. He could suppress all the G.o.dkings in the Saints’ World and hold the position of first on the G.o.dkings’ Throne firmly. There were even many rumors that he had fought experts at the Primordial realm.

These colorful rumors made the many G.o.dkings and some Primordial realm experts come to believe that Qing Shan was an invincible G.o.dking since quite some time ago. He was publicly acknowledged to be the most powerful G.o.dking.

However, Qing Shan’s name hung high up on the Radiant Saint Hall’s bounty list. All the elders knew his name, and they all resented him deeply. They treated him as the greatest problem in the way of the Radiant Saint Hall’s future.

This was because an elder of the Radiant Saint Hall had died to Qing Shan’s hands before.

However, when elder He Tian personally faced Qing Shan, he immediately thought of the various rumors, and his heart began to s.h.i.+ver.

“Is there a need for me to tell you how I entered the World of Moon and Star? However, I can tell you why I’ve come.” Qing Shan looked at elder He Tian, and his smile gradually turned cold as he said, “I’ve come naturally for the five candidates. I will make the Radiant Saint Hall go without a Chosen Saint this time.”

“Qing Shan, don’t you dare!” Elder He Tian’s face changed drastically when he heard that.

“I, Qing Shan, am even bold enough to kill an elder of your Radiant Saint Hall. Why won’t I dare to kill a few candidates? However, one more elder will be dying at my hands today,” Qing Shan sneered. With that, he directly struck out, sending a palm strike towards elder He Tian.

Qing Shan’s hand carried a mysterious power. It was able to affect the souls of his target through invisible means. Immediately, elder He Tian’s soul became unstable and jittery when he faced Qing Shan’s attack. His vision also blurred slightly as waves of dizziness began to overwhelm him.

“Martial Soul Force!” elder He Tian cried out. He bit the tip of his tongue to forcefully gather his concentration using the pain. Laws of the Hallowed gathered around him as he engaged in an intense battle against Qing Shan.

Elder He Tian was only equivalent to a First Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, so he did not dare to show any carelessness before Qing Shan. He used his full strength right from the start, without holding back anything at all.

However, as soon as he clashed with Qing Shan, elder He Tian’s heart sank. The Martial Soul Force in Qing Shan’s hand was already enough to affect his soul to a certain degree when he struck out. However, when they truly clashed, the influence from the Martial Soul Force became even greater.

He felt like someone had used a huge hammer to strike his soul heavily.

Although elder He Tian could block Qing Shan’s attacks, he could do nothing about the impact from the Martial Soul Force. He was forced to endure it.

Moreover, this impact would not just occur once or twice. He would have to endure it every time he clashed with Qing Shan.

If they continued to fight, his soul would eventually reach a point where it could not last any longer even if his strength greatly exceeded Qing Shan’s.

“Marital Soul Force is indeed profound. I can’t defend against it at all. I need to finish this battle fast, or I’ll definitely be defeated,” thought elder He Tian. He struggled to imagine just how severe the consequences would be if he were defeated.

He was afraid that it would truly turn out as Qing Shan had said, where the current generation would be left in an awkward state with no Chosen Saint.
