Chapter 2596: The Martial Soul Mountain Descends

Tong Wuming and Zhou Zhidao’s faces both became ugly as they watched the curse rapidly spread and deepen on the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak’s body.

The curse had surpassed the level of laws that they had grasped. As a result, the three of them were powerless against the curse on the peak lord.

Curses were extremely difficult to deal with. Nullifying them required an expert who had also comprehended the Laws of Curses to use their own laws to slowly remove it. At the same time, the level of the curse that the peak lord had been inflicted with required a late Grand Prime who had comprehended the Laws of Curses at the very least to nullify.

If one’s comprehension of the Laws of Curses was too low, it would be like an ant attacking an elephant. Nothing would happen at all.

Of course, they could also find a supreme expert who was far more powerful than the owner of the curse, using their stronger power of laws to forcefully disperse the curse and save the peak lord.

However, not a single person present fulfilled either condition to nullify the curse.

“It’s no problem. The curse was only embedded on a god artifact. Its power was reduced, so it can’t threaten my life immediately,” the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak said rather feebly. He had received sneak attacks from Luo Mantian, Gu Li, and He Yidao. Not only was he heavily injured, but he even had to devote a major portion of his power to suppress the curse. As a result, he would probably struggle to even use thirty percent of his full power.

The wounds to the body could be dealt with using high grade pills, but he had to personally suppress the curse.

“I never thought, I really never thought that Gu Li, He Yidao, and Luo Mantian would actually betray the Righteous Alliance and work with the Four Symbols Alliance.” The lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak let out a long sigh. He felt melancholic. “It looks like our Righteous Alliance will fall to the crisis this time.”

“Peak lord, you’re wrong. We’re not working with the Four Symbols Alliance. Instead, we chose to follow the young star lord,” Luo Mantian said indifferently from the other side. He felt no shame at all. Just by saying he was following the young star lord, he rendered his grievances with the Four Symbols Alliance null.

“Peak lord, I must admit that you were once very wise in the past, but you’ve made a mistake this time. You shouldn’t have supported the Tian Yuan clan. After all, the Tian Yuan clan only has some connection to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng through Ming Dong. Even though Ming Dong possesses some status in the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, how can he match the young star lord? At most, Ming Dong is the first majesty’s disciple. However, the young star lord is the child of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. Just that is something Ming Dong can never match up to,” said Gu Li. The Laws of Strength revolved around him as his beefy muscles hid explosive power. His burn wounds rapidly recovered.

“And most importantly, a true sovereign stands behind the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. That’s an existence who has fused with the heavenly ways. He can interfere with the operation of the ways with his will and is a ruler of an entire world. As for the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, they only have the first majesty. How can the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng match up to the Star Brilliance Mountain like this?” He Yidao added. As soon as he mentioned the sovereign, his eyes were filled with evident respect and admiration.

He knew that this so-called sovereign had only taken one extra step from the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Grand Prime, which still made them a Grand Prime, but this step was almost impossible to take. That single step made all the difference.

“Righteous Alliance, ever since the Tian Empire was destroyed, we’ve always been in conflict. After so many years of conflict, we can finally end it all,” Gong Ji said from the side of the Four Symbols Alliance. Her deep eyes showed no reluctance at all. Instead, it was filled with coldness and killing intent.

“What’re we saying so much for? Let’s do it together and destroy them sooner. From today onwards, the Cloud Plane will be under our Four Symbols Alliance’s control,” said Wu Lu. He was rather eager and slightly excited. Their Four Symbols Alliance could complete the ambitious wish that the Tian Empire had failed to accomplish.

The Gentle Breeze Ancestor said nothing. He continued to frown as he hovered in the sea of stars silently. He would glance past the three experts who had betrayed the Righteous Alliance from time to time as the light in his eyes flickered.

Luo Mantian, He Yidao, and Gu Li’s betrayal had completely surprised him. However, their betrayal and decision to yield to the young star lord made the Gentle Breeze Ancestor feel very conflicted.

Their Four Symbols Alliance had already developed deep grievances with the Righteous Alliance, and it was to the point where they could no longer reconcile. Gong Ji and Wu Lu could ignore the past and forget about the grievances, but others were not able to be as broad-minded as them.

Just how many people and organisations below them would be willing to forget this hatred?

Changfeng Yun and Zheng Hu remained silent as well. Clearly, they struggled to accept the three of them. After all, many of the outstanding descendants and disciples from their clans and sects had died to the Godsfallen clan, Heavenquaking sect, and Daoist Sect of Emergence.

This was not something that could be resolved in a few words.

After all, not everyone could be as forgiving as Gong Ji and Wu Lu.

As if she had guessed their thoughts, Gong Ji said to the Gentle Breeze Ancestor, Changfeng Yun, and Zheng Hu secretly, “Our priority is to destroy the Righteous Alliance. As for Luo Mantian and the other two, hmph, the young star lord won’t always remain on the Cloud Plane. Once the situation on the Cloud Plane stabilises, we can come up with plenty of methods to deal with them.”

“What, why have you all stopped? Why don’t you hurry up and kill the people of the Righteous Alliance? Hmph, only death awaits those who oppose me.” At this moment, the young star lord flew up from the Cloud Plane as well. He was complacent as if victory was within his grasp.

Two Chaotic Primes accompanied the young star lord. They were responsible for his safety to prevent any accidents from happening when the experts of the two alliances clashed.

After the battle between the Grand Primes came to a halt, Jian Chen and Xu Ran arrived in outer space as well. They arrived beside the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak.

“Peak lord, you wound…” Jian Chen stared at the power of the curse on the peak lord. He was stern.

He had also comprehended the Laws of Curses, but his comprehension still remained at early Godking. As a result, he could clearly sense just how powerful the curse on the peak lord was.

That was the power of laws from a Grand Prime.

“It’s not life-threatening for now. It’s our defeat this time. Hurry up and order a retreat. We have to give up on the Cloud Plane,” the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak said secretly. Now that the Four Symbols Alliance had eight experts, the Righteous Alliance had no chance at victory with just Lieyan Wuji, Tong Wuming, and Zhou Zhidao.

They did not possess an expert who could overwhelm multiple opponents of the same level.

“The Gentle Breeze Ancestor is a Third Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. Even though he only broke through two centuries go, only our lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak can defeat him. We can only retreat now,” Tong Wuming sighed gently. They were powerless to reverse the situation.

“Senior, it’s far too soon to say that. We still don’t know who will be victorious in this battle,” said Jian Chen. He was calm and very composed. Afterwards, he looked at the young star lord and said, “You are celebrating too soon. Do you really think you can kill me with just the Four Symbols Alliance?”

With that, the landscape nearby suddenly twisted. The stars vanished, and the figure of a colossal mountain silently appeared.

The mountain was humongous. It could blot out the sky and block all the starlight. It rapidly consolidated from its blurry image. In the end, it seemed to become tangible, appearing in outer space silently just like that. It had arrived near the Cloud Plane like a ghost.

“T- that’s…” Whether it be the Righteous Alliance or the Four Symbols Alliance, they were both stunned when they saw the mountain that suddenly appeared.

The colossal mountain had arrived far too suddenly. They actually failed to sense its approach at all. They had no idea where the mountain had come from.

It was as if the mountain had been hidden there the entire time and was only showing itself just then.

“T- that seems to be the legendary Martial Soul Mountain!” The Gentle Breeze Ancestor stared right at the mountain as he exclaimed sternly.

The Martial Soul Mountain was an object of legends in the Saints’ World. Many experts had only heard about it before. There were not many who had seen it.

In the vast Saints’ World, the Martial Soul Mountain was not fixed to a single location. It drifted through the boundless outer space. It was very difficult for outsiders who were not successors of the Martial Soul Lineage to find any traces of it.

As a result, the Martial Soul Mountain was legendary to many Grand Primes.

“What? The Martial Soul Mountain? I- is this the Martial Soul Mountain?”

“The Martial Soul Mountain is the symbol of the Martial Soul lineage. Since the Martial Soul Mountain has appeared here, the Martial Soul lineage has arrived on our Cloud Plane.”

A few people cried out from the Four Symbols Alliance. All of them were very unfamiliar with regards to the Martial Soul Mountain, but they had heard quite a lot of rumours about the Martial Soul lineage.

The Martial Soul lineage was an extremely unique legacy in the vast Saints’ World. Even though they only possessed a measly number of people, no one dared to underestimate them.

That was because every successor of the Martial Soul lineage possessed extremely great battle prowess. Challenging those at greater cultivation levels was like a day-to-day affair for them. Many supreme prodigies painstakingly raised by large sects and organisations would completely pale in comparison to any successor of the Martial Soul lineage.

They were the symbol of invincibility among the same level of cultivation. Ever triumphant, they were truly impossible existences who could rival successors of Grand Exalts.

“Why has the Martial Soul Mountain come to our Cloud Plane?” Gong Ji mumbled. She was puzzled. Afterwards, she glanced past Jian Chen and said in uncertainty, “Is it because…”
