Chapter 362 - 362 Birth of a Taboo!

362 Birth of a Taboo!

“This is also the reason why I sent my beloved merfolk girlfriends to meet their ancestors in front of you back then,” Third Senior Brother said with a smile.

The captain watched this with a spurious smile. He knew that Third wasn’t the kind of person who liked to say useless things. This was clearly to ease his relations.h.i.+p with Xu Qing.

Xu Qing glanced at his third senior brother. The scene of the other party gently crus.h.i.+ng the head of the merfolk woman at the harbor surfaced in his mind. At that time, he felt that this third senior brother was dangerous. Now that he looked at him again, the sense of danger was still the same.

‘However, in a life-and-death battle, I should be able to survive.’ Xu Qing weighed the pros and cons in his mind and cupped his fists.

“A meeting gift.” Third Senior Brother was still smiling. He took out a bundle of spirit stone tickets and stuffed them into Xu Qing’s hands. After that, he spoke softly.

“Back then outside the Sea Lizard Island, you weren’t my junior brother yet, so I chased after you for fun. Junior Brother, don’t mind it. Take it as me owing you a favor.”

Xu Qing glanced at his third senior brother.

Back then, when he was fleeing outside the Sea Lizard Island, he was targeted and chased by many auras. Although he didn’t see who those people were from the start to the end, he vaguely felt that his third senior brother’s att.i.tude later on wasn’t right and he had some doubts.

Right now, the other party directly pointed it out and Xu Qing was a little surprised. He took the spirit tickets and glanced at them. They amounted to a total of 500,000 spirit stones which was enough sincerity. Hence, he nodded and kept them.

Seeing Xu Qing put away the spirit tickets, Third Senior Brother heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. He cherished the atmosphere of the Seventh Peak very much. Most importantly, he felt that this little junior brother was the kind of person who if you didn’t kill him in one try would haunt you for the rest of his life.

He didn’t want to provoke such a person. He was about to continue speaking.

However, at this moment, a deafening roar rang out from the sky, causing the earth to shake. Fish-scale-shaped energy fluctuations spread in all directions in the sky.

“Xue Lianzi, you’re courting death!”

Everyone immediately looked up.

Sword qi filled the sky, as though they wanted to split the sky. They carried such destructive power that Xu Qing felt a piercing pain in his eyes when he looked at them, especially when he saw a familiar withered hand in the sky.

This hand was like the hand of a G.o.d, containing terrifying divinity. Its energy fluctuations seemed to change the laws, causing blurry shadows to appear in the surroundings. They were like illusory sages, manifesting in this withered hand and augmenting it.

It seemed to be able to pluck the stars and destroy the world as it grabbed the void.

The void shattered layer by layer and the sky transformed into a sea of blood. Accompanied by the muttering sounds of blurry shadows, a suppressive force appeared.

Xu Qing’s pupils constricted. Xue Lianzi transformed into countless blood threads. They were equally astonis.h.i.+ng and emitted peerless evil. He was like an undying ferocious demon. Even if the sages descended and the sea of swords suppressed him, they were still helpless against his savageness.

As a sinister laugh echoed, countless blood threads that were like sinister blood snakes that could devour mountains and rivers appeared. Wherever they pa.s.sed, the sword qi would collapse and the sword shadows would be destroyed. Finally, they formed a vicious dragon snake head that slammed fiercely toward the withered hand.

The huge collision shook the s.p.a.ce and sky. The withered hand collapsed and the Soaring Cloud Ancestor retreated. The head formed by countless blood threads also retreated and transformed into Xue Lianzi’s figure. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he laughed loudly.

“Daoist Soaring Cloud, you’re a thousand years older than me, but you’re nothing much.”

“The cultivators of the lower sects will eventually be suppressed. Xue Lianzi, this old man will give you one last chance. Hand over Xu Qing and return the life lantern and follow the decree of the Seven Sects Alliance. Your Seven Blood Eyes can be like before and the Seven Sects Alliance won’t interfere too much!”

A cold glint filled the eyes of the Soaring Cloud Ancestor. He lifted his right hand and performed a series of hand seals, pointing forward. Immediately, the sea of blood in the sky rumbled and a blurry shadow of a blood tree was vaguely formed.

This was the Taboo magic treasure of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect. Although it wasn’t in its true form, with the authority of the Soaring Cloud Ancestor, the projection power he used was equally astonis.h.i.+ng.

“Not too much interference?” Xue Lianzi laughed loudly.

“For thousands of years, 60% of our sect’s annual profits have been handed over to the Alliance. Every batch of heaven’s chosen disciples has to be sent to you. They will either have to submit to you or be sent to dangerous places to die.”

“My sect’s cultivation arts are all secondary cultivation arts of your sects and contain fatal flaws. If we obtain a new cultivation art, you will take it away!”

“The authority of your alliance in my sect’s array formation surpa.s.ses ours. If you are unhappy with any of my sect’s peak lords, they will immediately be rotated and their survival is uncertain.”

As Xue Lianzi spoke, the disciples of the seven mountain peaks fell silent. All of them were breathing heavily as a sharp glint appeared in their eyes.

The Soaring Cloud Ancestor frowned.

“When drinking water, don’t forget those who dug the well1. At the early stage of the Seven Blood Eyes, the seven sects of the alliance contributed resources and disciples to build it. Only then did your Seven Blood Eyes develop further. Now that your wings have grown, you want to be ungrateful?!”

Xue Lianzi laughed again. There was a tone of absurdity in his laughter.

“There is grat.i.tude, you are right in that!”

“The battle of the Corpse Forbidden 3,000 years ago, the battle of the Soul Stream 2,700 years ago, the battle with the Cloud Race 2,000 years ago, the battle with the Heart Soul Race 1,700 years ago… So far, my Seven Blood Eyes has fought for your Seven Sects Alliance more than 600 times!”

“There are countless casualties and bones of our sect spread all over the world!”

“The burial of the dead disciples and the medicinal pills for the injured disciples, did your Seven Sects Alliance contribute even the slightest in this? Every time my sect is about to prosper, it will decline in some war and the gains from the war are extremely meager!”

“In the past few thousand years, our sect has faced danger of extermination 79 times. Has your Seven Sects Alliance helped us even once? Our sect’s ancestors have asked for help many times. In fact, the third generation ancestor even knelt in front of the alliance and begged for help. Have you guys bothered once?”

“Every time, it’s the ancestors of my Seven Blood Eyes who have worked diligently and painstakingly to slowly recover their wounds. Once the sect improves slightly, your alliance will rotate them just by sending a decree!”

“Could it be that my Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples aren’t lives and have to die for you just so that you guys can sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor? Soaring Cloud, I, Xue Lianzi, want to ask your Seven Sects Alliance and this world.”

“Has my Seven Blood Eyes not paid this grat.i.tude enough?!”

“Has my Seven Blood Eyes not settled this grat.i.tude?!”

“By relying on the initial kindness, you continue to squeeze us dry and act like that’s what we should do! You guys place yourselves high and above. If my Seven Blood Eyes doesn’t listen to your orders and fight to the death for you, we’ll be forgetting your grat.i.tude. If we don’t listen to your orders and hand over the benefits, we’ll be ungrateful!”

“Could it be that this grat.i.tude wants my Seven Blood Eyes to be slaves for generations and repay it till we perish?!”

Xue Lianzi’s voice was like the sounds of a large bell, echoing through the world, causing the seven mountain peaks of the Seven Blood Eyes to buzz and tremble.

The Soaring Cloud Ancestor’s expression was cold. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand the matter of the Seven Blood Eyes, but benefits determined his stand. Hence, he calmly spoke.

“There’s no need to say more. People who forget grat.i.tude will always have many excuses.”

Xue Lianzi laughed loudly.

“What a good upper sect. What a good moral blackmail. What a good ‘when drinking water, don’t forget those who dug the well’!!”

“Since that’s the case, today… my Seven Blood Eyes will become an upper sect!”

The eyes of the Soaring Cloud Ancestor instantly revealed a sharp glint.

“Your sect is not worthy.”

“Let’s see if it is worthy or not.” Xue Lianzi’s eyes revealed an intense light in the air. He lifted his right hand and pointed at the sky.

“Sea Corpse Ancestral Land, activate the array formation!”

As soon as Xue Lianzi finished speaking, the weather changed and the world rumbled.

Far away from here, after crossing Starfish Island, the merfolk islands, the many sub islands of the Sea Corpse Race, there was the ancestral land of the Sea Corpse Race. At this moment, in the ancestral land, the land quaked intensely.

Here, half of the area had already been taken down by the Seven Blood Eyes.

Here, there was the Seven Blood Eyes’ army that had yet to retreat.

Here, the Seven Blood Eyes had already finished setting up the huge teleportation array that was prepared to move two Sea Corpse Race’s ancestral corpse statues.

The two statues that had long been moved here stood there with astonis.h.i.+ng auras. The teleportation arrays in the air and on the ground shone with boundless light. The clouds seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible hand and the sky rumbled as the light shone everywhere.

The teleportation formation in the sky was activated and emitted loud rumbling sounds.

The two ancestral corpse statues were not teleported away, but… something had teleported over from the sky.

They were five beams of light.

The lights were extremely dazzling. However, as they descended, they quickly became clear, causing the hearts of all the cultivators who were paying attention in the Sea Corpse Race’s ancestral land to tremble violently. Their expressions were filled with horror and disbelief.

This was because what were in the five beams of light were… five unfamiliar ancestral corpse statues!

These five statues weren’t from the Sea Corpse Race’s nine ancestral corpse statues!

Every one of them carried vast ancientness and vicissitudes of time. They were covered in dry cracks and looked like ordinary stone material. Only when they landed on the land of the Sea Corpse Race did they erupt with resplendent light.

This was the peculiarity of the Sea Corpse Race’s ancestral corpse statues. Only in this land could they show their vast might.

As the five statues landed on the ground, the ground quaked. It was as though an earth dragon had flipped over, causing the entire Sea Corpse Race’s ancestral land to shake. Huge uproar and cries of surprise rang out from everywhere.

At that moment, there were a total of 14 statues in the Sea Corpse Race’s territory. Seven of them were spread out in the Sea Corpse Race’s territory, and the other seven were on the Seven Blood Eyes’ array formations.

The array formations rumbled and operated crazily. These seven statues shone with monstrous light. Every one of them erupted with earth-shattering fluctuations like seven incomparably huge power sources!

The moment their auras soared into the sky, seven huge blood-colored vortices appeared above the seven statues. They were seven eyes!

These seven eyes were all closed, but their appearance caused a violent tsunami to rise in the Forbidden Sea. All the nonhuman races and sea beasts trembled in extreme horror.

This was because this was the aura of… a magic treasure. Moreover, it wasn’t an ordinary magic treasure but was infinitely close to a Taboo!

When this incomparably ferocious aura surged out intensely, above the seven closed eyes, amidst the surging wind and clouds, an ancient bronze mirror that was hundreds of thousands of feet long appeared!

This mirror stood in the sky and slowly rotated in all directions. It illuminated the Yinghuang Province in the north, the Seven Blood Eyes in the south, the Corpse Emperor Forbidden in the east, and the Endless Sea in the west.

Everything in the surroundings was within its range!

Wherever the light shone, the beings in that area felt suffocation and fear!

An aura of Taboo suddenly erupted from the mirror as the seven ancestral corpse statues sent in their power.

Seven Blood Eyes, Taboo magic treasure, formed!
