Chapter 2405: Chapter 2403: Ambush
The Yintang acupoint was almost filled with spiritual energy.
Ethan Smith let out a quiet sigh of relief. When the Glazed Saint Body was first ford, the Life Gate acupoint in his spine held an imnse amount of spiritual energy, and later his holy body grew slowly, supplied by the capacity of the Life Gate acupoint.
This ti, when the absorption of chaotic qi reached its limit, unexpectedly, an acupoint opened above his Yintang.
This acupoint, too, could contain a vast expanse like the sea. When his divine sense explored within, it seed to sense a huge spatial world.
“Could it be that this is the unique aspect of the Glazed Saint Body, or do all who refine their bodies have such a special way of opening acupoints?”
Ethan Smith was sowhat puzzled, and he did not have a clear understanding himself.
No wonder they say that once entering the Tribulation Transcending Realm, cultivators create a vast gap between each other due to the different thods of cultivation.
However, this should be a good thing. With the opening of the Yintang acupoint, his current chaotic qi has increased by almost fifty percent compared to before. With the content of chaotic qi in the Glazed Saint Body, this increase is truly terrifying.
“Holy shit, Ethan, are you alright?”
Frederick Cohen’s large face ca close, cautiously poking Ethan’s stomach, afraid that Ethan would burst open completely.
“I’m fine. I didn’t expect that the Corpse Qi of the Immortal Emperor was of such high quality; it almost burst alive.”
Ethan had intended to see if he could absorb another strand of the Corpse Qi of the Immortal Emperor, but then thought it too risky.
After his Glazed Saint Body was completed, it had also been tempered many tis.
Especially after obtaining the Heart of the Thunder Emperor, the Thunder and Lightning Laws were continuously tempering his body.
All of this might have been a prerequisite for the acupoint to open. If it happened again, his body might well burst outright.
“Strange, have you all noticed that ever since we left Peach Blossom Island, there’s always been soone monitoring us? And their cultivation seems quite high; I can’t catch them.”
Salena Carpenter said puzzlingly.
“It must be those old bastards from the Nine Great Clans. We’ve slain quite a few of their people this ti; they must be thinking of revenge.”
Frederick Cohen analyzed, feeling these people were surely plotting sothing.
“Should we go back to the Thunder Courtyard first to discuss our next moves with Ella Jenkins and Edwin Garner?” Elder Baker was more cautious, feeling it wasn’t appropriate to head directly to Sky City.
“No need to be scared; I’d be disappointed if those sons of bitches didn’t co, a bunch of animals.”
Frederick Cohen spat out viciously.
“There are quite a few cultivators from Purgatory around now, especially since many Crossing Tribulation Cultivators from the Nine Great Clans have returned to their Clans. It’s indeed correct to be cautious.”
Kennedi Evans also agreed with Elder Baker’s suggestion.
“It’s alright. I can now use Origin Characters to forge a spatial passage. Unless faced with a Cultivator whose Divine Soul has sunk in the Tribulation Passing Third Level and has mastered the deepest Dao of Rules, worst cos to worst, I can still escape.”
After consideration, Ethan Smith decided to fulfill the Prince’s final wish.
This was his old friend’s desire before death, and he had no reason not to fulfill it.
He put away the Void Warship, which was too conspicuous and could easily draw attention.
The Sumi Ring transford into a speck of dust and disappeared into the Void as they continued on their journey.
At this ti, Ethan preferred not to use the Thunderbolt Shock Escape Technique; it was much faster, but made too much of a commotion and was too noticeable.
Ethan’s comprehension of the Spatial Rules were the deepest, after all, his Divine Soul had dived to the bottom of the Sea of Space. Though it was just a single excursion, it was still considerably faster for traveling.
In just half a day, they had approached Sky City.
And in the blink of an eye, as the Sumi Ring once again disappeared into the Void,
The endless darkness ahead seed to subtly twitch.
It was an eerie feeling, and if not for Ethan’s tight focus on his divine sense, attentively sensing the movents around him, this fluctuation would have definitely gone unnoticed.
A silent and swift blade qi instantaneously slashed down upon the Suru Ring, but it passed right through it.
Exploding fiercely beside them, Ethan Smith controlled the Suru Ring in the final mont, shuttling into the Holy Region to avoid the strike.
Waves of fluctuations transmitted from the boundless Void, seeming extrely close to them and yet, at the sa ti, very distant.
The Void resembled a complex and undulating mountainous terrain, layers upon layers, with the locations constantly shifting.
At this ti, Salena Carpenter seed to have only just noticed sothing amiss.
“Black Knife!”
Ethan Smith’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat; this was nearly a silent and perfect strike.
All the force was contained inside the blade qi, and that power was at least that of Tribulation Crossing Power.
If that strike had cleaved into the Suru Ring and drew them into the depths of the Void, even if he could now use Origin Characters to evolve a pathway, it wasn’t certain they could return to the Holy Region.
Ethan Smith was soaked with cold sweat, what in the world was going on?
Using the Suru Ring to shuttle through the Void to hurry on his way, even if the one monitoring them was Dean Edwin Garner, Ethan Smith felt it would be impossible to keep a lock on himself.
But that assassin seed to have been waiting there all along, with the final strike slashing down as if it had been anticipated. Had his response not been fast enough, that one move could have caused them imnse catastrophe.
“Could it be a mighty realm cultivator who specializes in Divine Soul?”
Elder Baker asked, furrowing his brows.
“It appears that this trip to Sky City has left so people dissatisfied.”
Ethan Smith’s lips curled into a cold smirk; if soone wanted to assassinate them, there had been countless opportunities all along the way.
Only when they were nearly at Sky City did the final move co.
He was rather curious to see why soone didn’t wish for him to complete the Prince’s final wish.
He took a step forward, accelerating once again towards Sky City.
Upon reaching the skies above Sky City, Ethan Smith felt sothing odd.
People bustled in the streets, the sky was clear for thousands of miles.
Children were making noise everywhere, but everything also exuded an air of deceptive normalcy.
“Ethan Smith, I don’t know why, but I’m feeling really uncomfortable.”
Salena Carpenter ca out of the Suru Ring, scratching her head.
“I can’t describe the sensation, it’s like slling so unpalatable at, it’s just uncomfortable.”
Ethan Smith’s desolate divine eye suddenly opened on his forehead, but it detected no abnormalities.
“Perhaps it’s because the Killing Intent here is too heavy.”
Ethan Smith frowned and headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
At this mont, above the Imperial Palace, there was no longer the usual gentle Imperial aura.
The entire Imperial Palace was void of anyone else besides so stationed cultivators, not a trace of other human activity.
“Halt, this is the territory of the Nine Great Clans, get lost! Or else, death!”
Instantly, four to five figures appeared in front of Ethan Smith and his party, with the leading person having a fierce expression and clearly at the Peak form of True Saint Realm with his aura fluctuations.
“The people of the Nine Great Clans, why do they all sound so alike?”
Ethan Smith felt puzzled within, the person stationed in the Imperial Palace was actually a peak True Saint.
This was rather strange; knowing that those who had reached this step were almost certainly able to pass the tribulation, yet they were stationed here as guards. Moreover, his deanor did not indicate that he was the one in charge.
There must be soone of even higher cultivation here. Could it be that the Imperial Palace still concealed sothing?
