Divine Brilliance

Chapter 598: Alkaid Kongyao

Amongst those that were surprised was also Zong Shou, who was in the intense battle.

Why was that thing flying towards him?

He remembered, Didn’t the Spiritual Artifact reject him not long ago?

He had many doubts in his heart but he didn’t bother to think about it. At this moment he was fighting one against six. Even a slight distraction would cause him to lose.

Zong Shou really wasn’t willing to lose to these six. Fighting one against six was really too despicable!

He didn’t bother but the Avici Throne still continued to fly over, charging into the heavy blade lights. The nine dragons on the golden chair seemed to have come alive.

The rumbling and raging caused the King Energy that was suppressed by the Nine Layer Pagoda in his body, to start to boil.

At the start, he didn’t care, but when the ringing got more intense he had to pay attention.

The Dragon-shaped illusionary shadows behind him also started to change, becoming more sentient.

The aura between him and the item became more vast, surging into the sky.

“When I wanted it, it didn’t come. When I can’t be bothered and don’t want it anymore, it ran over by itself. Tsk, what is this…”

Letting out a self-mocking laugh, Zong Shou’s eyes squinted. Coincidentally, Yuan Wushang slashed down, following Shui Lingbo’s wind fist. Using the cover of Shui Lingbo’s fist, his old power was gone and new power was birthed.

Fighting intensely for close to thirty minutes, the few of them came to an understanding. When working together, the coordination of their intents was pretty much at the peak.

For example, at this moment, no matter what he thought about, he was unable to handle it. Naturally, Zong Shou couldn’t help but scold these six for being shameless.

Six people working together had already gone against the rules. They actually coordinated? They wanted him to die?

As time went on, every time Zong Shou slashed out, he became more well-practiced, simple and effective.

This Nine Dragon Shadow sword used these six people as a grinding stone, each breath causing it to become a little more perfect.

The pressure brought by the few of them caused him to remove the impractical changes, merging the truly usable laws and paths into his sword. It became more perfect and flawless…

Although Yuan Wushang’s sword was sudden and shameless, Zong Shou used his strength to deflect every blow.

Fighting with the six of them, he couldn’t be careless at any moment!

The green-colored sword light suddenly pulled back in an inconceivable moment. Coincidentally, from 170 feet away, it struck the blade shadow.

It was rushed and could only use less than 20% of its strength. However, it was nonetheless really concentrated as it slashed out. It was extremely exquisite and caused the sword light to scatter. The ten thousand spiritual explosions also disappeared.

When this sword slashed out, Jueyu was slightly shocked.

“This is an unbreakable sword domain?”

Although Zong Shou’s sword was purposely covered, one could still see some bits of Common People Path Tanqiu.

In the battle a few months ago, that one origin Yin sword by Tanqiu left a huge impression in his mind! Ten thousand swords were unable to get close to him. Just like how it sounded, it was an unbreakable sword domain!

Although Zong Shou was using the Nine Dragon Shadow sword, thinking back, their strikes didn’t get even 100 feet near Zong Shou.

This caused him to subconsciously think about Tanqiu.

“It really is you!”

Thinking back to those words from Li Wuhui not long ago, his eyes were filled with enlightenment.

He totally merged those two people.

The feeling in his heart was really complicated. He was filled with emotions of shame, bitterness, rage.

He also looked at the Avici Throne that flew to the side of Zong Shou and his chest was filled with many emotions.

Did this ancient emperor path Saint artifact adore this fellow? Treating him like Xiang King, invincible and unrivaled?

Fighting one against six, the six people could all sweep unstopped in the Cloud World, but this fellow was showing no signs of defeat.

In the future, this Zong Shou might really be able to get to the level of the Xian Chu overlord and even surpass him!

However, moments later, his fighting spirit rose.

Then would he just willingly serve him?

Unbreakable sword domain? He wanted to see if his 100 feet was really unbreakable!

Even the toughest spiritual metal, he was going to totally smash it into pieces.

As for the universe creation records he had tossed it out of his mind, whoever wanted it could just go and take it.

Jueyu’s emotions changed and his sword path also changed.

Zong Shou instantly sensed it, shocked as he gazed at him. He didn’t know why this fellow would suddenly go crazy and become so fierce…

However, he didn’t bother. Actually, at this moment, he already couldn’t be distracted anymore.

Since Shui Lingbo saw the Avici Throne fly underneath his feet, for some reason she also went crazy. She also didn’t bother about that Universe Book anymore.

The other people were the same, pretty much going all out like they were fighting for life or death.

Giving him pressure, each sword was stronger than the last. At each moment they were changing.

Most of the time he could only rely on his well-trained instincts to deal with it, extremely tough to handle.

His chest wasn’t filled with rage but instead excitement, joy, some random emotions…

With each sword, he could clearly feel the change! Like a cocoon turning into a butterfly, ethereal and sentient!

From the suppressed and heaviness, from the start, until he slowly adapted to it.

Maybe a little while later he would be able to handle their swords easily.

Speaking of which, the more intense the battle against this six people was, the more compatible the aura of the Avici Throne and him would be…

The intent that spread from it was filled with joy! The resonance between man and item was getting stronger and stronger, making him really confused, not knowing what was going on.

Until moments later, a light flashed in his head and a thought appeared in his mind.

The reason that fellow changed his mind, was it due to the battle with these six people?

Speaking of which, this made it understandable why Shui Lingbo and the others suddenly went crazy.

Invincible? They really thought highly about themselves!

He wanted to break out into a laugh, however, when that smile raised up from the corner of his lips, his heart jolted and another thought appeared.

Wasn’t his life goal to reach the peak of the sword path, to be the best in this region?

To climb up, he needed to have an unshakeable heart and an incomparable ambition!

*There was no need to fear and no need to give in to others!　　*

His sword should be invincible in the world!

The moment that thought rose, the spiritual light from the Avici Throne instantly became much brighter, causing everyone to be unable to look at it directly!

That domineering and barbaric sword intent from Zong Shou expanded once more, totally covering the underground lake!

Just at this moment, something changed!

※※※※

“Sister since you are already married and have become someone’s concubine, then you should stick to your identity. Stop thinking about killing every day, think about the country. Great Shang has many talents, it doesn’t lack one of you…”

A heavy fragrance of wine spread about the building. Outside the window were rows of red, numerous cherry blossoms blooming.

The environment was really beautiful, warming one’s heart up. However, within this building, the atmosphere was exceptionally suppressive.

Beside the window sat a male and a female, they were expressionless.

“Senior brother came here just to tell me this?”

Kong Yao’s eyes didn’t have that initial glow and charm. Instead, they were filled with scorn, as well as the look of one seeing through the matters of the world. Who knew if she was mocking herself or Zong Shou or this male known as Kong Xu in front of her, her brother in name.

“That’s right! I wanted to say these words to you long ago! I only knew that you definitely won’t listen to me.”

Kong Xu nodded his head without caring about much said, “His majesty is showing good grace, your third brother Kongxuan has been promoted to title governor commander, taking over your initial position! I also need not be worried about you dragging our Kong Family into an irrecoverable position every day!”

“Irrecoverable position? Zong Family?”

Kong Yao scoffed, the mocking intent was even thicker, “His majesty probably wouldn’t expect that with this good grace, there would be one more country betraying thief …”

Her tone was tragic, her heart filled with death.

“You can say whatever you want!”

Kong Xu smiled flatly, her expression was a conceited one, “Great Shang’s country aura has weakened, is our Kong Family going to follow it and be buried?”

Kong Yao shook her head, not regarding it as something right, “But our Kong Family has been treated well by great Shang for close to a thousand years!”

“So what?”

Kong Xu scoffed, “This central continent has already gone through seven dynasties and seven generations of royal families have already been wiped out. But our Kong Family has survived for ten thousand years! If the current one can rise, then we will naturally go all out to help. If they can’t, then we can only change sides early on! These are the theories passed down by our Kong Family ancestors…”

Kong Yao was stunned and knew that it wouldn’t matter what else she said.

These few days, she pretty much thought clearly about it. Thinking that was she really still loyal to Great Shang and his majesty…?

.hat might not be true!

At the start, it was because his majesty thought about her differently and promoted her.

In this life, this was the first time she was admired, thought so highly of. Thinking that since others treated her well then she would repay the country.

Now it seemed like in the eyes of his majesty, from the start she was just a chess piece. She wasn’t important at all and was a chess piece that could be replaced and abandoned at any moment.

As expected, this was the true emperor path, treating everyone as a chess piece. This was why his majesty was the ruler to help Great Shang rise up, a great ruler.

Thus, she was lazy to debate with Kongxu and she also wasn’t in the mood to fight with him regarding it.

“Our Kong Family helped his majesty ascend to the throne just to obtain a bit of military power before the chaotic time. To protect our Family such that we are at an opportune moment to change sides to the new emperor…”

When he said that, his words turned sharp, “Who knew that his majesty would actually choose a jinx like you to suppress our Kong Family!”

These words shouldn’t have been said in front of Kong Yao. Although both sides knew about this matter, Kong Yao didn’t even bother to show the surface warmness.

She was startled, clenching her fists. She felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

She was a jinx. When she was born she coincided with a comet. Alkaid shone brightly, the glow lighting up the night sky. Only after a day did it darken.

In the eyes of the Kong Family who controlled the directorate of astronomy and calendar, she represented disaster. If it wasn’t for her dad protecting her, she would have been strangled to death by people of the race after her birth.
