Castle of Black Iron

Zhang Tie was immersed in the great spiritual energy brought by that fruit of brilliance; as a result, he couldn’t attend the inaugural ceremony. Since he took the fruit, he had been involved in the storm and shock brought by enormous spiritual energy contained in the fruit…

If people didn’t eat food, they would die; conversely, if people ate too much, they would also die. Similarly, people would die if they didn’t take a breath; conversely, people would be intoxicated if they inhaled too much oxygen. After consuming so much spiritual energy in such a short period of time, Zhang Tie couldn’t adapt to it as he was almost submerged by the suddenly surging spiritual energy.

Heavenly Hunyuan might not be the most powerful sage-level knight in Taixia Country; however, undoubtedly, as a head of top six sects, he was absolutely a human powerhouse.

Sage-level knights were a top existence among knights. An experienced sage-level knight’s spiritual energy was essentially different than that of heavenly knights such as Han Zhengfang in quality and quantity, not to mention the others below heavenly knight.

Although Zhang Tie didn’t know the realm of sage-level knight, he knew that the strength of a sage-level knight’s realm was closely related to the strength of his spiritual energy. He could imagine the great strength of a sage-level knight’s spiritual energy which rooted for the latter’s sage-level realm.

Since he took the fruit of brilliance, Zhang Tie had lost his feeling about time as all of his senses had been occupied by the spiritual energy of the fruit.

The unexpected prodigious spiritual energy erupted in the space of Zhang Tie’s mind sea like a volcanic eruption and integrated with Zhang Tie’s own. The entire space of Zhang Tie’s mind sea was rocking like experiencing a Magnitude Nine earthquake on the Richter scale in the storm, shocking each cell of Zhang Tie all over and making his qi and blood boil like flying dragons. On this occasion, besides absorbing spiritual energy, Zhang Tie was also trying every means to slow down the release of the spiritual energy from the fruit.

Previously, Zhang Tie took fruits of brilliance freely. However, this time, when Zhang Tie tried to control the release speed of the spiritual energy of the fruit of brilliance, he realized it was pretty difficult. Even though Zhang Tie could control each organ, each muscle and each cell, he still couldn’t make it as the spiritual energy of the fruit of brilliance started to present its own state and change after being taken. Even though Zhang Tie tried every effort he could, he could only reduce the release speed of spiritual energy by one-third even if he had shrunk the contact area between his stomach and the fluid of the fruit.

Zhang Tie wanted this process to go through a bit slower and smoother; however, he found it was almost impossible. Sand beach and rocks could buffer sea waves; however, when a terrifying tsunami surged over, its power could still be intolerant even though sand beach and rocks could work to a certain degree.

With the surging spiritual energy, the stars in the void above his mind sea started to illuminate one after another. Zhang Tie could feel that all the stars in the void were gradually lit one by one from over 100 bright stars at the beginning to 360 stars in the end. As a result, the entire void above his mind sea became star-studded and extremely brilliant.

If this scene was presented to the public, it would be absolutely fascinating. Any women who saw it would scream.

Zhang Tie wanted to scream too; however, it was not because of excitement. After lighting up all the 360 stars, Zhang Tie felt that his brains were going to burst. A tin could only contain 0.5 kg sardines; but if 2.5 kg sardines were foisted into it, of course, it would burst. Therefore, the entire space of mind sea became so swollen that it was going to burst.

Even so, the spiritual energy was still constantly surging into the space of Zhang Tie’s mind sea like a tsunami.

Meanwhile, the two bright moons in the void above his mind sea started to absorb spiritual energy as they gradually turned brighter and bigger while giving out splendent light, which reflected with the stars over the void. As a result, the entire space of Zhang Tie’s mind sea turned as bright as daytime. Like a sacred church, the entire space of his mind sea was filled with golden light.

As the two bright moons grew larger and larger like swollen balloons, Zhang Tie felt his mind sea more and more crowded as if it was going to explode.

When the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was holding an inaugural ceremony, Zhang Tie’s two bright moons had reached their limits in scale; Zhang Tie reached his limit in pain too. The changes of the two bright moons caused Zhang Tie’s right and left brains to expand at the same time, one like fire, the other like ice. The pain was absolutely out of one’s imagination…

In a split second, Zhang Tie was afraid that his brain would suddenly explode from inside like a rotten watermelon.

The spiritual energy of the fruit of brilliance was still pouring in the space of his mind sea constantly as if it would never come to an end. However, the space of Zhang Tie’s mind sea had been extremely limited. The two moons were still growing larger and brighter as if they wanted to come out of his head…

‘No, no. I have to stop them.’

All of a sudden, a light flashed by. Even Zhang Tie didn’t know why he suddenly had such strong intuition and aspiration and instinct for taking an action. Zhang Tie immediately realized that the two bright moons were as vacant as sponge and ores which were not quenched yet. If he didn’t want his brains to explode, he had to compress and quench the two moons by turning them smaller and integrating them into one.

‘Break…’

With a boom, the entire space started to rock. Zhang Tie gathered his full spiritual energy and strong will and struck against the expanding bright moons like triggering a strike of the divine dominator.

The moons rocked a second; however, they continued to expand by absorbing the spiritual energy.

‘Break…’

‘Break…’

‘Break…’

Zhang Tie gritted his teeth as he used his full efforts to strike against the two bright moons. In a second, he launched strikes which were hundreds of times powerful while the loud sounds resonated the entire space of mind sea…

The invisible battle in the space of his mind sea could absolutely match the duel between him as a divine dominator and a top powerhouse. The two expanding moons brought Zhang Tie sharp pains. Meanwhile, the endless, surging spiritual energy brought by the swollen moons granted Zhang Tie with great energy and power. As a result, his invisible strikes were growing more and more destructive.

It sounded a bit weird but Zhang Tie was tackling a strength using the same strength.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…

Finally, the moment the two splendent moons contacted each other like two swollen balloons, they had faced Zhang Tie’s most powerful strike as the entire void above Zhang Tie’s mind sea became still in the split second.

Boom…

The entire void above his mind sea turned white while breaking apart…
