298 Inferno of Fury

The whole of Sixth Peak had long been refined by Lord Sixth and turned into a strategic fortress.

Other than him, no one knew how many magic artifacts existed on this Sixth Peak and what shocking might they could display.

This was the first time this war fortress was mobilized.

Although it had yet to fully display its might, just the teleportation at sea was enough to cause waves in everyone’s minds.

This teleportation was not a simple teleportation. Being able to teleport the entire mountain was enough to display the astonishing powers this war fortress contained.

At the next instant, this huge mountain appeared in the sky above the Forbidden Sea and sped forward.

Wherever it passed, the sea below churned and spread. Countless sea beasts trembled at the bottom of the sea, not daring to approach the surface of the sea.

The surrounding merchant ships swayed like leaves on the sea. When the cultivators on the ships saw the huge mountain moving above them, ‘shock’ wasn’t enough to describe what they were feeling.

Xu Qing was the same. Even the captain couldn’t calm down. His eyes were red as he looked left and right.

In front of the two of them was Lord Sixth, who was holding the wine gourd and looking into the distance.

His expression was gloomy and there seemed to be bloody intent rising in his body. The intensity of his killing intent even affected the sky, causing thunder to rumble in the sky as the Sixth Peak moved forward. Bolts of lightning exploded in the surroundings like silver snakes.

“The Starfish Race is a small race. Not to mention the strength of our Seven Blood Eyes, it can’t even compare to the Merfolk Race. There are only seven Golden Core cultivators in the sect. Now, three have died and there are only four left,” Lord Sixth calmly said.

“The strongest, the Starfish Ancestor, is at the great circle of the Golden Core Realm. However, I suspect that he has broken through long ago and has been hiding his cultivation base. Other than him, the other three Golden Core Realm cultivators are all at the early stage.”

“These early stage Golden Cores also include the patriarch of the Starfish Race. He was only able to become the patriarch because he is the Starfish ancestor’s son.”

“This is just a small race. For such a small race to have the guts to provoke the Seven Blood Eyes and other races, no matter how I look at it, something is fishy.”

“Therefore, Xu Qing, you have to be more cautious in this battle. The Starfish Race… might have some great secrets,” Lord Sixth said calmly.

Xu Qing nodded silently.

The captain didn’t speak. Taking advantage of the fact that Xu Qing and Lord Sixth weren’t paying attention to him, he took a few steps back and touched the rocks on the ground. The light in his eyes grew even stronger. Clearly… he liked this treasure very much.

However, before the captain could check for too long, the Sixth Peak buzzed again. Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and stars moved. The entire mountain teleported again. This time… it directly appeared in the air above the Starfish Race.

The Starfish Race was located between the Seven Blood Eyes and the merfolk islands. They only had one island as their territory and it had the shape of a huge starfish if looked from above, but it had been confirmed that its appearance was a result of modification by the Starfish Race. There wasn’t really such a huge starfish resting here.

There were five main cities on the island. Most of the buildings were built from corals. The greatest characteristic was that there were countless coral trees growing on the islands!

This was a type of tree that looked like a coral. Each of them was very tall and emitted five-colored light at night, while during the day, they were gray and dim.

Many buildings were built on these huge coral trees. There were about a hundred thousand members in the Starfish Race. Because of the protection of the Seven Blood Eyes, they didn’t face much turmoil over the years and looked quite prosperous.

The appearance of the Sixth Peak immediately attracted the attention of the Starfish Race. Although they didn’t recognize this huge huge war fortress, the experts in the race sensed the fluctuations of the Seven Blood Eyes’ cultivation art.

As such, almost the instant the Sixth Peak’s mountain appeared, a divine sense spread out from the Starfish Race.

“Is it the Seven Blood Eyes? I wonder which senior has graced our land. Please forgive me for my negligence.” Following the divine sense, an old man in a five-colored Daoist robe appeared.

This old man was all smiles, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He rose into the air and cupped his fists toward the Sixth Peak.

However, what responded to him was Lord Sixth’s monstrous killing intent transformed into a finger.

As his finger landed, the incomparably huge mountain of the Sixth Peak pressed down fiercely on the Starfish Race below like a stamp.

Under this pressure, the world rumbled and the void shattered. A tremendous pressure descended on the Starfish Race, causing cracks to appear on all the mountain peaks of the Starfish Race’s island. After that, they shattered and exploded.

Even the ground was the same; many areas collapsed and caved in.

The Starfish Race’s ancestor’s expression changed intensely.

“Lord Sixth, what are you doing!”

“What am I doing? You tell me what I am doing!!” Lord Sixth couldn’t suppress the killing intent in his heart anymore. His body stepped into the air and directly arrived in front of the Starfish Race’s ancestor. He then grabbed fiercely.

The sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, and the void shattered!

The Starfish Race’s ancestor couldn’t dodge and his head was directly grabbed by Lord Sixth. As Lord Sixth ruthlessly squeezed, his body exploded.

However, as it exploded, a blood shadow in the shape of a starfish flew out and reformed its body in the distance. It spat out a mouthful of blood and rapidly retreated, its eyes revealing horror.

“Sixth Master, is there a misunderstanding?!”

Lord Sixth coldly looked at the Starfish Race’s ancestor who had gathered again.

“As expected, you hid your cultivation base and have already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. However, it’s fine. Only then will it be interesting… You made me suffer the pain of losing my son for so many years. I have to let you have a taste of the pain of your race, your territory, and everything of yours being destroyed in front of you.”

As Lord Sixth spoke, he lifted his right hand and performed a series of hand seals before pressing down.

Immediately, the mountain of the Sixth Peak rapidly descended toward the Starfish Race island below.

It didn’t land completely but stopped about ten thousand feet in the air. Blue flames emitted from the mountain and instantly covered the entire island.

From afar, the blue flames flowed like heavenly fire, enveloping the surroundings. It was also like a meteor falling to the ground, rumbling in the surroundings, causing the seawater to rise under the high temperature, causing countless buildings on the Starfish Race to instantly burn. Miserable cries rang out from everywhere.

“Refine!”

“I’ll refine your race, your territory, and all your bloodline. I’ll refine your Starfish Race alive and refine it into a candle that will be lit in front of my son’s grave day and night!!”

Lord Sixth spoke with madness. With a wave of his hand, rows of war artifacts appeared on the Sixth Peak and erupted in unison, forming beams of light that headed straight for the Starfish Race.

There were also the puppets. All of them emitted intense killing intent as they rushed toward the Starfish Race and started killing.

There were also the disciples and elders of the Sixth Peak who descended one after another.

The Starfish Race’s ancestor’s expression turned gloomy. He was about to stop them, but at the next instant, Lord Sixth arrived before him.

The Starfish Race’s ancestor spat out another mouthful of blood. His eyes turned red and a silver line quickly flashed in his pupils. His aura soared and a vast storm formed outside his body, but Lord Sixth still suppressed him.

At the same time, Xu Qing and the captain also leaped and headed straight for the ground.

Xu Qing landed on a coral tree.

The gray coral tree couldn’t withstand the impact and collapsed. Xu Qing’s eyes were bloodshot and the killing intent he had suppressed until now couldn’t be suppressed anymore. He rushed toward the Starfish Race members.

The captain didn’t participate in the fight. After he landed, he silently followed Xu Qing. This was because he knew that the hostility in Xu Qing’s heart was extremely heavy now. This hostility required a large amount of blood and killing to resolve.

To him, the Starfish Race wasn’t important. Regardless of whether it was Old Master Seventh’s secret instructions to him or his friendship with Xu Qing, they all made him hope that Xu Qing would recover as soon as possible.

Hence, he only had one goal for following him this time around, and that was… to accompany him.

“Kill, Junior Brother. In this chaotic world, killing is the only outlet. That was how I got through back then. If we don’t destroy a few races, how can we make others revere us?” The captain muttered with madness in his eyes.

As for Xu Qing, he had already started killing.

The life fires in Xu Qing’s body were ignited and the black iron stick outside his body was in a battle-ready stance. It would attack whoever Xu Qing’s gaze landed on. For a moment, rumbling sounds filled the island. Xu Qing’s attacks were swift and deadly. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of a Foundation Building cultivator of the Starfish Race.

Before the other party could react, Xu Qing had already ruthlessly collided with him. The Foundation Building cultivator’s body exploded into pieces immediately.

In his flesh and blood, there were some thread-like silver worms. At that moment, they were twisting in the flesh and withering as the Starfish Race cultivator died.

Xu Qing swept his gaze over and headed straight for the ancestral temple of the Starfish Race in the distance. That was the place where the Starfish Race’s patriarch usually meditated and refined pills.

On the way here, Lord Sixth had told him all the information he had obtained from searching the souls. Their division of labor was clear. Lord Sixth wanted to take revenge on the Starfish Race’s ancestor and refine the entire Starfish Race, while Xu Qing’s target was the patriarch because it was the other party who had given the order to assassinate Grandmaster Bai.

A continent seemed to be burning in Xu Qing’s body as he sped toward the Starfish Race’s ancestral temple.

Wherever he passed, as the blue flames fell from the sky, all the buildings were burned. Countless members of the Starfish Race let out mournful and shrill cries in the flames.

Under the high temperature, even the ground melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. Many depressions were filled with blue flames, as though they wanted to seep into the soil and refine it to a deeper level.

There were also puppets from the Sixth Peak that carried Lord Sixth’s will, and started killing everywhere. The Sixth Peak’s disciples were the same and carried out Lord Sixth’s orders.

The entire Starfish Race was in chaos. Coral trees collapsed one after another and the pits formed in the ground. Three of the five main cities were now covered in a dense blue sea of fire.

Xu Qing instantly approached a Starfish Race cultivator who was about to stop him and waved his hand. The Golden Crow let out a cry and in an instant, the cultivator turned into a corpse.

Xu Qing didn’t slow down. The Golden Crow followed behind him with its tail flames dragging behind like a cloak. A large amount of black fog also appeared around Xu Qing, forming a sinister face in the air. Inside were densely-packed little black bugs.

The shadow and the black iron stick were also closely following behind.

From afar, Xu Qing looked like a baleful god had descended into the world. Wherever he passed, all the obstructions would die!!
