Chapter 1261: It Won’t Hurt Anymore

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

While the voice carried an air of superiority, it also bore a hint of laziness, like an invisible hook that landed in the hearts of all cultivators, eliciting ripples layer by layer, making them feel tingling sensations from within.

This tingling sensation felt like their souls were being extracted, immersing them in an indescribable sense of pleasure.

Some whose willpower was insufficient immediately fainted, trembling all over, unable to bear even a hint of the divine voice.

Only the experts could barely suppress the ripples in their hearts. After all, reverence for G.o.ds was already engraved in the fate of the Flame Moon cultivators.

And this was only a natural release of power of the Star Flame High G.o.d, without any deliberate action on Her part.

G.o.ds were like this.

Fortunately, a cold snort echoed amidst the sounds of the Star Flame and neutralized Her influence. It was like a basin of cold water that landed in everyone’s hearts.

“Teleportation, activate!”

Everyone’s hearts trembled as they recovered. As for the sky, it was accompanied by waves of lightning that descended on the mortal world.

The thunder grew louder and louder. In the end, it acc.u.mulated to the extreme and emitted the sound of the world being split open.

The world rumbled and the void stirred up huge waves that spread out in circles, forming a circular vortex.

This vortex spun rapidly, as though it had pushed aside layers of appearances, revealing a gorgeous, rainbow-colored irregular hole.

Looking up, one could see within this rainbow hole a vast expanse of mountains and rivers, where exotic flowers and rare herbs grew, and ferocious beasts roamed, resembling a primitive wilderness.

There were also waves of beast roars.

It was… the location for the second segment of the Grand Hunt, the Mountains and Seas Region.

At the next moment, rainbow light shot out from the vortex, forming countless wisps that landed on all the cultivators who were qualified for the second segment in the three holy cities.

The Eldest Prince, Tuos.h.i.+ Shan, Qiu Quezi…

Even Xu Qing and Fan s.h.i.+shuang, who were outside the city, were enveloped by the light. The moment they were enveloped by the light, the power of teleportation rose.

Three breaths later, the teleportation was activated!

The rainbow light flickered in the city. If one looked from the sky, they could clearly see rainbow flowers continuously blooming.

Every time it bloomed, someone would be teleported away. This teleportation was without a fixed coordinate. If some cultivators wanted to group, they could only do it in the Mountains and Seas Region.

Xu Qing also disappeared amidst the fluctuations of the rainbow light.

The successive teleportation of hundreds of thousands of cultivators caused the rainbow flowers to outline a beautiful scene.

It was as though the starry sky had landed on the ground.

A while later, as more cultivators were teleported, there were fewer rainbow flowers.

The Divine Mountain no longer shook. Only a chuckle from Star Flame echoed through the world.

The Mountains and Seas Region was shaped like a gourd, with no plains within it, only mountain ranges and endless rainforests.

This environment, combined with its constant temperature and centuries of isolation, had led to the creation of its own ecosystem, making it suitable for the habitation and reproduction of ferocious beasts.

Hence, there were all kinds of strange ferocious beasts.

Moreover, due to the extremely dense anomalous substances here, not only did ferocious beasts mutate, but vegetation also mutated.

The entire Mountains and Seas Region was more like a forbidden region.

It wasn’t formed by the gaze of the fragmented-face of the G.o.d but by the three G.o.ds of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven.

Additionally, due to the perpetual isolation of this place, many species that were extinct elsewhere still existed here. Moreover, some ancient relics were better preserved here than in the outside world.

At this moment, deep within the rainforest in the upper ring of the Mountains and Seas Region, a black rotten tree was swaying its branches, dragging a white deer from afar.

The white deer struggled, but to no avail, as vines pierced and entwined around its body, absorbing it as they wriggled.

The white deer could only emit a desperate cry for help, its voice pitiful, its eyes revealing an attachment to life, clearly expressing its will to survive.

White deers weren’t common in the Mountains and Seas Region.

It often symbolized beauty, perhaps that’s why it became prey, coupled with its relatively lower value compared to other animals, leading to its dwindling numbers.

However, its cries might have moved the heavens, as a rainbow light shone beside the rotting tree.

Soon, a figure in a black robe was revealed.

The moment the figure appeared, the rotting tree trembled and didn’t dare to move. The white deer also trembled and instinctively stopped crying. However, its desire to survive made it let out a soft wail.

The figure that appeared beside the rotting tree turned his head when he heard this. He glanced at the white deer and walked over.

With two steps, he arrived in front of the wailing white deer and stared at it..

At a glance, the vines that were wrapped around the white deer disintegrated inch by inch and turned into ashes.

The man squatted down and lifted his hand, gently stroking the white deer’s body. His movements were gentle.

Unfortunately, although there were no more vines, the white deer’s injuries were too serious and it couldn’t even stand up. It could only rely on its spirituality to reveal grat.i.tude through its eyes.

However, the intense pain from its body caused it to involuntarily tremble and death was rapidly approaching it.

“It won’t hurt anymore in a while.”

The man spoke softly and his movements became gentler, comforting the white deer’s heart. Its struggling movements decreased and the grat.i.tude in its eyes increased. It even stuck out its tongue and licked the corner of the man’s clothes.

At the next instant, after it completely relaxed, the black-robed man’s hand gently pressed down on its neck and squeezed.

There was a cracking sound; the white deer’s body shook for a bit before it died, painlessly.

The man slowly stood up and looked into the distance.

As the light from the sky scattered down through the gaps between the leaves above, his appearance gradually became clearer.

He was a young man, his long hair tied up in a bun on top of his head, with a black headband around his forehead.

Coupled with his black robe and black boots, everything about him exuded a chilling aura.

Vaguely, one could see some blurry red figures around him. They seemed to be formed by blood and emitted a dense smell of blood.

If a cultivator from the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven was here, they would be able to recognize this person at a glance.

This person was famous in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race. He surpa.s.sed Tuos.h.i.+ Shan and even Fan s.h.i.+shuang.

Back then, when the Eldest Prince introduced the great heaven’s chosens of Flame Moon to Xu Qing, he had emphasized this person.

Ji Dongzi was at the third stage of Nihility, ranked second, belonging to the jurisdiction of the Sun Flame High G.o.d.

He had a cold personality and was ruthless. When he attacked, he would definitely kill. More than ten nonhuman races were slaughtered by him and they were refined into blood disciples that accompanied him.

He had numerous methods, including an impressive record of holding his own against a Flame Moon Race Soul Acc.u.mulation captive. Although that captive was already at the end of his rope, he was still a Soul Acc.u.mulation cultivator…

Even Fan s.h.i.+shuang was extremely wary of this youth. The two of them had fought three times, and every time… Fan s.h.i.+shuang lost miserably.

This was especially so for the last time. If it wasn’t for the mediation of this generation’s Flame Mystic, Fan Wushuang might have lost his life.

Tuos.h.i.+ Shan had also fought against Ji Dongzi, but was suppressed in just ten breaths of time.

And the thing Ji Dongzi was most unwilling to accept in his life was his failure to obtain the t.i.tle of Flame Mystic. That was also the first time he had experienced a failure in his cultivation journey.

“When you are dead, it won’t hurt anymore.”

Ji Dongzi retracted his gaze from the distance and lowered his head to look at the white deer’s corpse at his feet.

After that, he walked forward.

A few steps later, he seemed to have thought of something.

“Spread the word. If anyone sees Xu Qing, inform me of his whereabouts.”

After giving the order, Ji Dongzi remained calm and continued on his way. For him, killing Xu Qing was simply a transaction prompted by King Mingnan, accompanied by promises and conditions.

It was just a casual matter; if he encountered Xu Qing, he would kill him, but if not, he wouldn’t waste time personally searching for him.

As for the difficulty, for him, other than Flame Mystic, who he wasn’t confident of killing, anyone else of this generation would be easy to kill.

As he moved forward, the blood figures around him bowed. Some of them disappeared to spread the news.

As for the remaining blood figures, they followed him into the distance.

At the same time, in the upper ring of the Mountains and Seas Region, near the central area of the region, in the rainforest, Xu Qing was stealthily moving forward.

He was cautious and didn’t emit any aura. Xu Qing was also very used to the rainforest and the anomalous substances here.

He liked such an environment.

During this teleportation, the captain wasn’t by his side. However, Xu Qing wasn’t worried about the captain.

According to his understanding of the captain, the other party must have a way to enter the Mountains and Seas Region.

“Although Eldest Senior Brother said that he had prepared shanchi for me… I can’t place all my hopes on him.”

Firstly, he had given up on the Jiuli Forbidden that was located in the middle of the upper and lower rings.

Since no one had successfully subdued this legendary Flame Moon Holy Beast over the countless years, Xu Qing didn’t think that he was special.

Therefore, rather than wasting time with the Jiuli, it was better to search for other things.

“I will search for a shanchi!”

A dark glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. This choice could allow him to meet up with the captain as soon as possible. At the same time, it could also increase his chances of obtaining a shanchi.

Hence, the description of the shanchi’s activity area in the jade slip he had seen appeared in his mind.

“It’s in the northwestern area of the lower ring.”

“Then, first, 1 have to identify which area this place belongs to.”

Xu Qing’s body swayed and with the enhancement of his speed, he instantly disappeared from the rainforest.

Time pa.s.sed, and three days went by. Utilizing the habitats of various ferocious beasts, Xu Qing, under observation, roughly determined his position based on some ferocious beasts encountered along the way.

With the direction, his speed became even faster as he moved toward the middle area of the upper and lower rings.

“At this speed, I’ll reach the middle area in five days. I’ll circle around the edge of the Jiuli Forbidden and head to the territory of shanchi. It should take about half a month.”

“In the Mountains and Seas Region, the killing and compet.i.tion will be even more direct… And that Fan s.h.i.+shuang!”

Xu Qing’s expression was gloomy. If the second segment hadn’t been activated in advance, the battle between him and Fan s.h.i.+shuang would have erupted.

Xu Qing was very vigilant against Fan s.h.i.+shuang. Among the opponents he had encountered in his life, there weren’t many who he didn’t have confidence in winning against. Fan s.h.i.+shuang was one of them..
