Chapter 450: The Melancholic Saints, The Dao Patriarch’s Cruelty
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The three Saint Lords, namely the Yin Yang Saint Lord, Five Elemental Saint Lord, and Creation Saint Lord, were looking uglier than the others. They were truly looking ugly.
“Yes!” Dao Patriarch Xing Chen confessed. “The Hongmeng Qi is truly condensed from the essence of the world’s origin. But I also merged in a type of special ability, that once refined, it would allow you to understand the Natural Laws of Heaven, and sanctify Dao easily, but at the same time, you’ll be under my control.”
He suddenly grinned, “Back then, we were competing, fighting, entangling, and holding grudges against each other. Do you really think that I would be willing to help you sanctify your Dao? It’s better that I take in new disciples than to help you all.”
“Love for no reason must be repaid after all! And today, it’s time for you to repay.”
The Dao Patriarch said in a very slow and quiet tone.
“At that time, you’re the Saint, the first Saint of the world. You should have a big heart, generously give to all beings of the world and universe. But why are you conspiring against us? At that time, what’s in it for you to do so?” The Five Elemental Saint Lord expressed resentment.
“A Saint is also a being. All beings are emotional with various emotions including joy and anger, and I’m no exception.” The Dao Patriarch replied to satisfy their quest for discovery.
“At that time when you thought of manipulating us is because of that secret realm in the chaos right? You wanted us to act as your cannon fodders to find a path for you? Other than this, I can’t figure out what other reasons you have to control us.” Yin Yang Saint Lord suddenly figured it out.
“As expected of the five’s eldest Senior Brother, you indeed are more clever. If it wasn’t because of the encounter I had that I managed to sanctify my way of Dao earlier than you did, I’m afraid that you’d be the fist one among us to achieve that. Unfortunately, I’ve had all the luck and the great Dao. A step slower leads to an utterly different fate.” Dao Patriarch beamed.
“Stop struggling, the thing I’ve placed in all of you, has thoroughly merged into the origin of your soul. I can even manipulate the imprints that you all have engraved into the origin of the Natural Laws of Heaven.”
“If I don’t take the initiative to remove it, you will never be able to get rid of the bondage of fate. For so many years you have enjoyed as a Saint to be above many, manipulating all beings and races, it is more than enough for you. Otherwise, you would never have any chance to sanctify Dao because I’d have killed all of you.”
The Dao Patriarch no longer looked at the three Saint Lords, but turned to Jiang Ming and sighed, “I feel so helpless that you coming here has completely changed my plan. I hope that you’ll surprise me, otherwise I’d be losing a lot.”
Jiang Ming was rendered speechless and shook his head. The intrigue and infighting among the Saints was actually beyond his expectations. He felt rather unbelievable to see a Saint master conspiring against his Saint disciples.
......
Inexplicably, he thought of the prehistoric world situation he did not know existed or not. The Dao Patriarch passed on the Dharma, received six Saints as his disciples, and also gave them the Hongmeng Violet Qi. Later, in the battle of the gods, the world was almost broken, and the Dao Patriarch gave San Qing medicine pill to take, saying that it was a medicine pill that could poison people to death.
Jiang Ming didn’t believe that a medicine pill could poison a Saint to death, and that San Qing was willing to take the pill without any resistance. That’d be rather absurd unless it was planned ahead.
“The past is the past. Since you all have learned the truth, we shall conclude it thoroughly!” As a luminance radiated out from the Dao Patriarch’s forehead, the three Saint Lords cried miserably.
The immortal light on them suddenly dissipated. While hugging their heads and crying in pain, they also evoked their special abilities to resist.
The Yin Yang Saint Lord was stronger after all. While he resisted with difficulty, he also shouted at Jiang Ming, “Fellow Daoist, attack, attack now. Provided we can free ourselves, we will help…”
Before he could finish his words, his face suddenly turned hideous, and then calm. He looked numb, and then he showed a smile, the same smile as the Dao Patriarch.
Both Creation Saint Lord and Five Elemental Saint Lord had the same situation as the Yin Yang Saint Lord too.
“For millions of years I’ve been conspiring, it’s unfortunate that three have died!” The Dao Patriarch Xing Chen sighed. “In fact, this method has a great flaw. If it wasn’t because of their eagerness to sanctify Dao, they would have discovered some of the flaws through careful observation and thoughts. Unfortunately, they were too eager to sanctify their Dao, and coupled with the fear they had for me, they didn’t have much doubt and quickly refined the Hongmeng Violet Qi. As for giving them the positions as the Saints? Ha, I won’t be so kind for nothing. There must be gains and losses, and this is the way of heaven.”
“You are truly cruel, aren’t you?” Jiang Ming had just witnessed a great show. He felt a chill run down his spine especially when he saw the changes in those three Saint Lords.
Who would figure out such was a conspiracy? Who could believe it? Jiang Ming thought he would be cheated as well if he was one of the six.
“You are still not confident enough to confront me, aren’t you!” Jiang Ming grinned.
“Yes!” Dao Patriarch Xing Chen admitted. “If I were confident enough, how would I let you kill the other three and reveal that they are under my control? After all, it is because you are giving me a bad premonition. Hence, I could only use all my trump cards to deal with you.”
Yin Yang and the other two Saint Lords had come forward besieging Jiang Ming in the center of a triangle.
The Dao Patriarch made a pause before he asked with confusion. “The technique that you used to detonate Dao vessels is considered a supreme Saint technique. But I don’t understand how you can remain safe at the center of detonation? With that level of self-destruction, even if I were in your position, I definitely would not be good.”
“So, is this the real reason why you don’t hesitate to expose yourself?” Jiang Ming was not worrying at all.
“That’s right!” The Dao Patriarch didn’t care about showing his prudence either. “You made me feel that you are too mysterious. Hence, I have to be very cautious. Otherwise, I’d lose my life. Just like the three of them, made one mistake and lost the whole game.”
“Make sense. It’s you who are sharp-witted!” Jiang Ming nodded, and pointed at the three around him. “The strongest power they could release is self-destruction, right? Or sacrifice?”
“Yes, I used to teach them the Heavenly Sacrifice Technique, so that they can sacrifice themselves thoroughly in return for a peerless strike. This is much stronger than self-destruction.” The Dao Patriarch grinned, “As for the reason for them to cultivate? It’s simple. The Chaos is too big and too vast, there are other worlds other than our Xuanhuang Great Chiliocosm, as well as the Chaos Beasts. What if we are incapable of resisting our enemies when our world is invaded? We shall do our best to kill as many enemies as possible. Hence, this is a very bold technique. Once evoked, the person could still recover provided our world is not destroyed.”
“If you really encounter such danger, you can escape into chaos, can’t you?” Jiang Ming said.
“If you really encounter such danger, can you really escape?” The Dao Patriarch had the same smile as he asked, “Fellow Daoist, do you have any last words or any reason for me to let you go? Else, this would be your place of burial unless you have other sky-defying means. Oh, the path you’re taking is the World Dao, hence, you aren’t truly a Saint. Hence, once you die, you’ll truly die without the ability to resurrect.”
“In the face of an enemy like you, to be honest, if I didn’t have the confidence to live, I really didn’t want to be your enemy.” Jiang Ming lamented. Meanwhile, his energy had been surging frantically.
His intimidating aura surged, and his might was terrific. Luminances that hang from the Zhentian Tower and the Golden Obsidian in his hand burst forth the divine power that could split up heaven and earth.
The Dao Patriarch Xing Chen sighed, “Your words made me even more perturbed. But I’ve no other choice other than going forward. It’d be difficult for me to live without having you dead. It’s truly difficult for the world to have a perfect plan for all of us!”
“Go die!” The moment the Dao Patriarch yelled the last two words, he evoked his special abilities to confine space and time, suppress the void, and even evoked the power of authority and order to lock up all things in the surrounding. He left nowhere for Jiang Ming to elude nor avoid.
Meanwhile, the three Saint Lords were simultaneously ignited, and were burning with blazing Saint flame. The next moment, they radiated a bright luminance, and turned into the most horrifying torrents of destruction in the world.
As the Dao Patriarch took his move, it was his ultimate strike.
