Chapter 1198: Era-Obliterating Three Sacred Arts
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Six portraits hung high above the Ancestral Mountain!
These six portraits were like six different realms. Some of them were filled with divine Qi and protected by divine beings. Some had divine beasts dancing inside, while five colored divine lights illuminated the realm…
However, there was also a realm that was filled with martialists clad in unsightly scales who had deformed faces. They were engaged in a massacre as bodies filled a river of death. They were either bleeding profusely or had been severed in half, but their battle continued like an unstoppable wildfire.
There was also a realm filled with an endless land of the dead and even freezing purgatories coinciding with burning cells as endless deathliness engulfed the realm.
There was also a calm, smoothing land with all sorts of disputes and killings, where the roars of countless beasts sounded throughout the realm…
Six portraits, six realms!
In the middle of each of the six different realms stood a figure wearing the crown of a king who exuded an immense aura of majesty.
These six figures looked extremely faint, but all of them exuded an aura that could dominate everything in a realm.
Although there were also six Heavenly Rulers, they were vastly inferior to the figures standing in the portraits.
It could even be said that the Six Heavenly Rulers would merely be like children wielding knives before these six true generals.
However, what really attracted Luo Yunyang’s attention was not the scenes in the six portraits. What he noticed was the connection between the six portraits.
The six portraits felt like a single entity beaming with vitality from the first to the last!
In Luo Yunyang’s opinion, every portrait contained a world, or rather, a realm!
However, to Luo Yunyang’s surprise, he had a strong premonition that the six portraits seemed to be somewhat connected to him the moment he first saw them.
Unfortunately, this connection wasn’t very strong!
“Greetings, Ancient Ancestor!” The Si Family Patriarch looked at the portrait filled with deities and spoke emotionally. At the same time, he fell on his knees while his body trembled slightly.
The Patriarchs of the other families were also very emotional when they looked at the portraits of their Ancient Ancestors with a frenzied glimmer in their eyes.
The Three-Eyed Stone Being bowed respectfully in front of the six portraits before turning to look at Luo Yunyang again. “Human Ruler, I said I don’t want any major conflicts with you, but you did not listen to me. Now that things have come to this, it is no longer my decision even if you want to back out. Human Ruler, you’re on your own!”
Luo Yunyang ignored the pompous Three-Eyed Stone Being as he turned to look at the six Ancient Ancestors of the Ancient Six Families standing in their respective portraits. He could sense that the six Ancient Ancestors of the Ancient Six Families were all alive.
They were definitely looking at him!
“Are you Luo Yunyang?” said the King that stood in the portrait filled with deities. He glanced at Luo Yunyang and remarked casually, “I really didn’t expect that you would still be a third-level Samsara General.”
Third-level Samsara General? The term caused Luo Yunyang’s eyes to light up immediately, as he suddenly vaguely understood why he felt a close connection to the six portraits.
He understood what each of the six portraits represented.
In the past, Luo Yunyang had made use of the Samsara Wheel and entered 10 cycles of Samsara. However, he had never come into contact with the Samsara Wheel again after the end of his 10 Samsara Cycles.
Luo Yunyang had stopped researching the Samsara Wheel during his rise. However, most of the information on the Samsara Wheel stopped after the Samsara Generals were mentioned.
If becoming the Samsara Controller was a cultivation path, then it would be broken when one became a Samsara General.
Although Luo Yunyang could not accept this outcome, he still had many other opportunities. Hence, he did not pay much attention to the broken cultivation path of a Samsara General.
Now, he had finally seen the portraits controlled by the Ancient Ancestors of the Ancient Six Families!
Six Path Samsara Portraits!
“I also didn’t expect that all of you would actually control the power of Samsara.” Luo Yunyang looked at the Ancient Ancestors in the six portraits and said coldly, “It’s a pity that none of you have become the Samsara Controller!”
Luo Yunyang’s words caused the expressions of the six Ancient Ancestors to darken. There was no doubt that what Luo Yunyang had mentioned was indeed their sore spot, and Luo Yunyang was deadly accurate.
“We can still kill you even though we did not become Samsara Controllers!” The Ancient Ancestor in the purgatory portrait wearing a blood-red crown snapped.
However, just as he was about to take action, the Ancient Ancestor who stood in the blooming, flourishing realm replied indifferently, “Third Brother, why are you so impatient? Let me persuade the Divine Troops first. After all, we have fought side by side and made great contributions to our Lord.”
The Sky Spirit Monarch’s face went rigid. He knew exactly what these people were plotting, and they definitely wanted to sow discord.
They were sowing discord in his relationship with Luo Yunyang.
Just as the Sky Spirit Monarch was about to speak, Luo Yunyang went ahead and spoke first. “It seems that there must be a reason you all failed to become Samsara Controllers. You can’t even see what state the Sky Spirit Monarch is in now. Although all of you have eyes, you’re still blind.”
“You must have a death wish!” The King who stood in the endless sea of blood was enraged as he roared, causing blood waves to surge and flood the sky and earth.
He stood in the sea of surging blood waves and sent a heavy punch toward Luo Yunyang!
In the sea of blood, countless powerhouses roared hysterically like Asuras in the void. They were like gods and demons raging in a terrifying way.
“Good timing!” Although the Sky Spirit Monarch knew that Luo Yunyang would never listen to his opponent’s claims, he still felt a sense of urgency to prove himself. After all, his fate was now in the hands of Luo Yunyang.
He had to do his best to prove it, and only showing off his strength was the best method to erase any doubts Luo Yunyang had about him.
The earth-shattering sword surged ahead without stopping, heading toward the King who stood in the midst of the bloody sea.
The punch that contained infinite power collided with the sword-light in the void. The blood sea that engulfed the sky was slashed heavily by the sword directly. Although the sword-light did not completely cut through the blood sea, the Asuras still came to a halt at once.
In the time it would take one to snap a finger, countless Asuras in the blood sea began to collapse. However, as the blood sea that was separated by the sword-light congregated, all the Asuras began to recover and they appeared in the blood sea again.
“This is the great commander of the Divine Troops indeed. You really have not disappointed us. Third Brother, come join me!” The King who stood in the portrait that looked like a divine realm shouted at the King who stood in the blood sea.
The powerhouses of the Ancient Six Families were staring very closely at the battle. While they were secretly rejoicing in the fact that their Ancient Ancestors were strong enough to protect them, they were also very glad.
If their Ancient Ancestors had not helped them with the fight, they would definitely have been defeated and most of them would have lost their lives.
Disregarding Luo Yunyang for now, the Grand Commander of the Divine Troops was already overwhelmingly strong. They would have no chance of retaliating, let alone fighting against him.
“Three Samsara Sacred Arts— Obliterate!”
The King who stood in the portrait that looked like the endless purgatory shouted while waving his palms, sending forces of the nomological laws forward to gather crazily in the void.
The other five Kings also started conjuring their techniques. Momentarily, a hexagonal light-wheel began to form in the void and immediately moved in the direction of Luo Yunyang and his party to envelop them.
The light-wheel looked very ordinary at first glance, but the moment the light-wheel moved, everything that was enveloped by the light-wheel became deadly still.
“Cleaving Sky Obliterating Earth!” The Sky Spirit Monarch also felt the immense pressure of the light-wheel as he shouted. Right afterward, the powerhouses of the Divine Troops around him began to tether their powers to him.
As a result, the body of the Sky Spirit Monarch swelled a hundredfold instantly. Meanwhile, the Sky Spirit Monarch was looking like a huge deity who was wielding a sword and slashing at the light wheel.
Boom! The sound of heaven and earth shattering echoed through the void as the body of the Sky Spirit Monarch and the light-wheel that contained six different sky laws collided.
It seemed as though the exchange was a draw, but Luo Yunyang knew very well that the Sky Spirit Monarch had lost this time.
The Ancient Ancestors of the Ancient Six Families who occupied the portraits still had enough strength to continue the battle, but the Sky Spirit Monarch did not. Although the Sky Spirit Monarch still seemed like he had the ability to fight, he had actually lost the battle.
“The Divine Troops you have are indeed very formidable. However, we will have to end the next part of this boring battle if you only have these puny tricks,” the Ancient Ancestor who stood in the flourishing portrait said indifferently, as if he was fully confident about winning.
The Sky Spirit Monarch raised the sword in his hand again. Although he knew that he would die if he continued to fight, Luo Yunyang had not asked him to step down. Luo Yunyang would not tolerate it if he gave up just like this.
Hence, he had to continue fighting even though it felt really unbearable.
Luo Yunyang tapped the Sky Spirit Monarch on the shoulder and said, “I’ll take care of this.”
Upon saying that, Luo Yunyang took a step forward and added, “I want to know what is one level above the Samsara General.”
“Above the Samsara General is the Samsara Divine King, and above that are the Samsara Divine Emperor and the Samsara Controller,” the Ancient Ancestor who stood in the Humanity Path said with a smile.
The conversation between them felt very friendly, as though they were good friends instead of foes.
Luo Yunyang chuckled lightly in response. “It seems like I missed out a lot then!”
“This sort of thing is a matter of luck to begin with. It is normal for the Human Ruler to miss out on this fortune.” The Ancient Ancestor then added with an icy tone, “Although our strength is somewhat inferior to the Human Ruler’s strength, we are not inferior to anyone in terms of fortune. The Human Ruler is doomed to fail this time.”
Luo Yunyang smiled lightly. “Naturally, I would have turned to leave if any of you had become Samsara Controllers. Unfortunately, none of you have.”
“Furthermore, if I’ve guessed right, your master should be unaware that you are residing in the Six Path Samsara Realms. Do you think he will let you guys hold on to such a great opportunity if he finds out about it?”
Luo Yunyang’s words caused the expression on the faces of the Ancient Ancestors to change greatly.
Although they had no choice but to rely on the being that destroyed Great Eras, the thing they wanted the most was, in fact, to stop being under the control of that being.
Fortunately, their prayers had been answered by the heavens, as they had managed to obtain the six divine portraits during a great opportunity. Furthermore, they had also become beings that were second only to a Samsara Controller. Still, because they knew that they were no match for the being that destroyed Great Eras, they dared not act rashly.
If Luo Yunyang hadn’t knocked at their door this time and they’d had a place to hide instead of having to surface and fight, they wouldn’t have brought out the six divine portraits.
“You are very clever, but most of the time, cleverness overreaches itself. The cleverer you are, the earlier you die. Luo Yunyang, you can die now!” The King who stood in the portrait surrounded by ferocious beasts suddenly blasted out a punch.
At the same time, the King who stood in the realm of the Sky Path mumbled, “Three Samsara Sacred Arts— Life!”
When that King shouted out this command, another hexagonal light-wheel began to form. Although this light-wheel was no different from the previous ones, the surrounding atmosphere was filled with vitality.
Luo Yunyang immediately felt that the pressure around him had increased tenfold in an instant before even coming into contact with the light-wheel.
Luo Yunyang had tried this sort of technique before when he had executed the Samsara Palm, but it was very inferior to the Three Samsara Sacred Arts, which was a life technique.
He made a decision immediately when he sensed the mighty force of vitality. He raised his finger and gently pointed at the void in front of him.
This was the finger Luo Yunyang had obtained in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm, which contained the endless power of obliteration.
It was because the light-wheel formed by the power of vitality was so overwhelming that Luo Yunyang was forced to execute this finger technique.
In the eyes of those watching the battle below, the finger and the light-wheel were executed almost simultaneously and both techniques frightened the Sky Spirit Monarch.
The Patriarchs of the Ancient Six Families were all trembling severely. They were all glad that their Ancient Ancestors had surfaced. Otherwise, they would really have died horribly!
