The explosion was a double explosion. The first one was the explosion created by the destruction of the secret realm, and the second one was from the deepest part of the secret realm. While the first explosion was not that horrible, the second one was the terrible one.
The destruction of the secret realm created an implosion, just like how something would be sucked into a black hole, thus creating a less impactful shockwave.
But the second explosion was created as the result of the power left behind by Kui Zheng after his death, and was triggered by the first explosion!
This explosion was whatever strength was left behind by Kui Zheng!
Obviously, this celestial race Qi Practitioner held extreme hatred towards Swords Gate after he was imprisoned by them. As such, he sealed his strength into his secret realm, making it easy to enter his secret realm, but hard to get out. The only way out was to destroy the secret realm.
And if someone destroyed his secret realm, his secret realm would start to crumble, triggering the seals left behind by him which would then detonate his power, causing a second explosion that would kill the people of Swords Gate responsible forcleaning up the copper palaces!
âShui Qingyanâ was, after all, a demon god that had high sensitivity. This allowed her to notice the imminent explosions and quickly escape from the secret realm as soon as the way out appeared.
Zhong Yue too, acted quickly as he immediately grabbed the cloak left behind by Kui Zheng and covered him and Qiu Jinâer underneath it.
The two then hid under the leather as they felt horrendous noises outside that even caused the copper palace to shake vigorously. The palace seemed like it was going to topple soon!
The power of the explosions could easily be seen just by looking at the trembling copper palace full of seals. But the cloak was something very unique as well, for nothing could be felt by Zhong Yue and Qiu Jinâer while they hid underneath it.
This cloak was the skin of Kui Zheng. His flesh had faded, but his skin and bones were left behind, which remained rock steady even under such crazy explosions!
Zhong Yue and Qiu Jinâer were in extreme shock. The outside of the leather was just like an apocalypse. As they hid under the leather, they held each otherâs hands tightly and they could felt each otherâs heartbeats and breathing clearly.
After quite some time, the explosions slowly stopped. Just when Qiu Jinâer was about to say something, another explosion came in, then a fourth one, fifth one, each stronger and more violent than before!
The two then continued hiding under the cowhide and dared not move even an inch while they waited for the explosions to stop quietly.
Zhong Yue put up a serious expression while he thought in his heart, What a shame. The other secret realms of Kui Zheng have exploded!
The destruction of Kui Zhengâs Wan Xian Secret Realm first affected the power he left behind in that secret realm, and that power then triggered the destruction of the other secret realms and the energy he had sealed in them.
This Kui Zheng was a cunning and ruthless one. He was afraid that he could not wipe out the people of Swords Gate that entered this copper palace, so he left behind more than just one killing move in order to guarantee the death of the Swords Gate Qi Practitioners!
And those who were able to escape from the continuous five explosions would only be people of the same level as Kui Zheng, while the others would be evaporated in the explosions without a doubt!
Even those on the same level as him were bound to suffer heavy injuries in an all-out attack left behind in Kui Zhengâs secret realms. Without a doubt, he definitely did not want to leave anything behind that could potentially benefit Swords Gate. Thus, he decided to blow up his secret realms along with the people of Swords Gate in order to inflict damage to Swords Gate!
What a shame, the huge amount of life energy and life force hidden in these secret realms are gone now. That was too close just now, no wonder those guys before me dared not clean up these copper palaces!
Zhong Yue shivered again even as he felt remorse over the destruction of the secret realms.
Initially, he wanted to retrieve the secret realms and forge them into his soul weapons while he absorbed the life force and life energy in them to cultivate his body into an even stronger state. But with destruction of the secret realms, his plans were entirely ruined.
Fortunately for him, he had managed to absorb a portion of the life force and life energy in the Wan Xiang Secret Realm, which could sustain him for quite some time.
However, he still regretted the destruction of the five secret realms.
Something is not right! There are five secret realms but only four of them explodedâ¦
Zhong Yue waited for the final secret realm to explode, but nothing happened after quite some time. He then felt confused as to why the final secret realm did not explode.
How come the final one did not explode?
Just when he thought of this, Qiu Jinâer lying beside him said embarrassingly, âSenior martial brotherâ¦â
The pretty girl then awkwardly took out a shining wheel from her own Yuan Shen secret realm as she said carefully, âI retrieved one of the secret realms just nowâ¦â
Zhong Yue was stunned for a moment, before shivering in excitement. This secret realm had Kui Zhengâs power sealed inside as well! The secret realm was with Qiu Jinâer, who was underneath the leather with him, if the secret realm had exploded at that timeâ¦
âAs long as this secret realm is not destroyed, then everything will be fine. But this is way too dangerousâ¦â
Zhong Yue continued to tremble, and Qiu Jinâer lowered her head as if she had done something awfully bad as she said, âSenior martial brother, should I throw it away thenâ¦?â
âNope.â Zhong Yue breathed in deeply as he stared at the shining wheel in Qiu Jinâerâs hand. He said, âThereâs no need for that. Kui Zhengâs power is sealed in that secret realm and as long as it is fine, nothing will happen. You may not cultivate it into a soul weapon, but you could keep it as a secret trump card to be used at dangerous times. All you have to do is throw it out and detonate it, which could easily take out huge amount of enemies by surprise! By the way, which secret realm is this?â
Qiu Jinâer thought for a moment and said, âThe Shen Cai Secret Realm? I retrieved this one first because it was smaller.â
âShen Cai Secret Realm?â
Zhong Yue was stunned for a moment. Then he kissed the pretty girlâs cheek as he said happily, âThe Shen Cai Secret Realm! This is the secret realm that generates the most life force and life energy, the place of birth! The secret behind Kui Zhengâs immortal body is probably related to the Shen Cai Secret Realm and with the leatherâs totem carvings, we can probably discover the cultivation art of achieving the Immortal Body!â
Qiu Jinâer blushed fiercely, and lowered her head even more as she dared not look at Zhong Yue.
After everything calmed down, Zhong Yue stood up and lift away the leather, finding lots of cracks on the dragon scales on the surface of the leather. The totem carvings were not as bright as before.
Fortunately, the totem carvings were mostly intact.
It was the final move of Kui Zheng, and it had almost killed them⦠but it was also Kui Zheng that had saved them.
Then, Zhong Yue looked towards the bones left behind by Kui Zheng, only to discover the skeleton had been obliterated by the explosions after the first two, indirectly showing the horrifying power of the explosions!
Among the explosions just now, there was only one that was of little harm. Jinâer and I survived because of the skin of Kui Zheng. I wonder about Tian Myriad Mother. She did not have something like Kui Zhengâs hide, and she may have been able to escape from the explosions, but she will not be able to escape their shockwaves.
Zhong Yue had observed his surroundings and realized that with his speed, he would have been able to rush out from the copper palace without Qiu Jinâer, but he will soon be caught by the deadly shockwave.
If he hid at the strong and steady doors of the palace, he might be able to endure the shockwaves, but he too, would suffer heavy injuries. It remained a question if he would have been able to survive or not!
âLetâs go, junior martial sister.â Zhong Yue shook the leather, shaking off the debris on it and wrapped it around Qiu Jinâerâs shoulders like the cape he originally thought it was, before heading towards the exit. Qiu Jinâer followed behind him like a little wife as she walked with her head down. When the two walked towards the exit, the overlong leather cloak was dragging on the ground behind her, and it made her appear even more petite.
It would be great if Tian Myriad Mother died, but if she did not, I will send her to hell!
Immense killing intent built up in Zhong Yue, the twenty foot-plus tall Yuan Shen emerged from his back with eight arms holding the Ba Ji weapons in them. The Yuan Shen then opened its eyes, with a sun appearing in the left eye and a moon in the right eye while another eye appeared on its forehead! Then, bright stars emerged in his eyes, spinning around the sun and the moon, turning his eyes into swordâs eyes!
Immense Pure Yang and Yin Sword Qi erupted, shrouding him with strong Yin and Yang Qi!
He landed on the copper palace, releasing a loud noise as his Yuan Shen started to merge with his body. His body began to enlarge, turning into a bird-headed giant with a human body, eight arms and a pair of wings, intimidating and ruthless.
âJunior martial sister Shui, thereâs no need to hide anymore, as today will be the day you will be sent back to hell!â
Zhong Yueâs voice could be heard, his thunderous voice rumbling through the palace while his eyes scanned around and his divine third eye half-opened.
He walked out of the palace with Qiu Jinâer behind him, and immediately saw blood stains around the front of the palace. Judging from the blood stains, Tian Myriad Mother must have suffered heavy injuries!
As they were about to walk out, a shadow flew past them and âShui Qingyanâ appeared at the doors of the palace, blocking their way.
This girl was not tall at all, almost the same as Qiu Jinâer, but half of her body had been disintegrated by the explosion impact, leaving only the left half of her body!
She looked like she the entire right side of her body was sliced off!
And now, her Yuan Shen had appeared on the right side of her body, trying its best to heal her injuries and barely keeping her alive.
With that, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jinâer saw a half-demon god as the right half of âShui Qingyanâ, a huge spider body with a scorpion tail, and four heads!
The four heads were the head of an elephant, a snake, an eagle and a mantis head!
And this was only half of the Tian Myriad Motherâs Yuan Shen!
âMy bodyâ¦â
âShui Qingyanâ remaining half-face showed an agonized expression while the other four heads at the right were all twisted; the elephantâs trunk swung around everywhere while the snake head writhed, and the eagle and mantis heads were twisted together in pain. Then, her voices stacked together as she shrieked, âSo painful! Arghhhhâ¦Zhong Shan Clanâs member, why are you not dead yet! Why!?
âSuch a cold hearted man! This is the body of your first little lover, how could you do this to her body!â
âYou could destroy the secret realm but why couldn't you inform your little lover beforehand? Why are you so cruel! Your little lover has no more soul and spirit left, all she has left is her body, why did you want to destroy her body!â
Zhong Yueâs eyes twitchd as his five wheels emerged behind his back, all shining brightly while the Golden Feathery Peng Sword emerged from the Dao Yi Wheel in the center. His lips trembled before he said, âTian Myriad Mother, using junior martial sister Shuiâs face to fight me every time, you revolt me greatly!â
Tian Myriad Mother laughed and suddenly, the remaining half of Shui Qingyanâs face started to enlarge and explode completely as Tian Myriad Motherâs huge body burst it open. Another half of her body and another four heads were then exposed to the air. With her eight heads, she stared at Qiu Jinâer as her eight voices stacked together and said with a laugh, âZhong Shan Clanâs member, you are forcing me to possess your new little loverâs body!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
