Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Laozi frowned while looking at Honoured Lord of the Origin before saying, "Brother, don't lose your mind of Taoism. You know, Minghe has shown up at the Longhan Cultivation Tribulation and got merits of heaven, so you can see that he is really a tough person." After hearing his brother's words, Honoured Lord of the Origin calmed down. In contrast, Tongtian started to regain his concentration on his cultivation, instead of envying Minghe's power.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and the Goddess Nyuwa were completely shocked. Since they were the disciples of Hongjun, they each thought they were better than the other cultivators. To their surprise, Minghe, who had never revealed his talent in cultivation, had reached the Peak Level of the Sage-to-be earlier than the others. They didn't know whether Minghe achieved it through dividing his Three Separations or only by cultivating the Divine Laws. Sometimes, it was the unknown that frightened people most.

···

Confronted with the intense power of Minghe, the other Individual Cultivators at the Sage-to-be were all stunned. The 60 plus cultivators had guessed that Minghe might be at the Late Stage of the Sage-to-be, but they had never considered that he was at the Peak Level of Sage-to-be, which had been beyond their expectations.

Out of the 68 Sages-to-be, the strongest was only at the Secondary Stage of the Sage-to-be, and the others were all in the Early Stage. Facing Minghe's Peak Level of Sage-to-be, they couldn't find any way out. They had also found that Minghe had cultivated both his flesh body and his Original Spirit, mastering the two kinds of Power of Divine Law at least. One was the Law of Heaven and Earth that he used to keep the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, and the other was the Law of Killing that he used to enhance the power of his fists.

Challenged by the strong power of Minghe, a few of the Individual Cultivators, at the Early Stage of the Sage-to-be, had a thought occurring to them which quickly faded to the back their minds. Although the Hong Meng Immortal Qi was really tempting, they weren't willing to steal it from Minghe or try to force him to give it over. Obviously, Minghe voluntarily wouldn't hand it over, so it would cause a battle.

Realizing this, many of the cultivators became terrified. Although they had more allies, they would suffer a great loss in order to win that battle, quite a few cultivators would even end up paying with their lives. Besides, if they didn't work together as one to fight with Minghe, they would not have a chance to win.

Looking at Minghe, the Wild Wind Ancestor fumed. He had never imagined that Minghe had reached such a powerful level. While looking around, he found that many of the cultivators were trying to fade to the back. This worried him because if someone retreated, it would become impossible for them to successfully rob Minghe of the Hong Meng Immortal Qi.

The only chance they stood to kill Minghe was if they fought against him together. The Wild Wind Ancestor understood that even a small difference in cultivation level meant a large gap in power. He remembered that he could have killed several cultivators at the Early Stage of the Sage-to-be when he was at the Secondary power of Sage-to-be. Therefore, he knew how terrifying power of a Sage-to-be at the Peak Level of Sage-to-bepower would be.

However, the Wild Wind sages had no other options since he wanted to enhance his force. Nowadays, the Sorcerer and Demon tribessages had merged into the strongest tribes of sages Land, and even the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix and Kylin couldn't match the two. Under such a great pressure, even if the Wild Wind sages was a Sage-to-be, he wouldn't be ranked among the strong. What's worse was that the Three Pure Ones, Goddess Nyuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti were made sages by the words of Hongjun.

Therefore, the Hong Meng Immortal Qi that Minghe had gotten was the only chance for the Wild Wind Ancestor to change his situation. He wouldn't give up on stealing the Hong Meng Immortal Qi from Minghe, just like plenty of the other cultivators. Acquiring abilities through the stages of Sage-to-be, they all had become proud of themselves and a bit arrogant too, so none of them were willing to be ranked lower than the others.

In order to break this embarrassing situation, the Wild Wind Ancestor started to say something, otherwise several of the cultivators were going to leave. To start the battle, he said, "Minghe, although you are at the Peak Level of Sage-to-be, you don't frighten us at all. Don't forget that there are 68 Sages-to-be before you."

After hearing the Wild Wind Ancestor's words, the fear in the Individual Cultivators' minds decreased greatly. The words of the Wild Wind Ancestor sounded simple, and yet they meaningful. The Sages-to-be were among the top cultivators in Untainted Land, so if they were "frightened" into retreating, they would ruin their reputation. When the Wild Wind Ancestor mentioned the "68 Sages-to-be", all of the cultivators enhanced their faith. One versus 68, it appeared as though Minghe didn't have any advantage in this battle.

Minghe shook his head. Greed was the origin of crime. Looking at all of the cultivators whose greed had been risen by the Wild Wind Ancestor's words, Minghe said, "Since this is what you all want, come at me together. One or 68, it's just number to me. It would be easy for me to kill anyone of you nonentities. I don't care if you are one or 68, I will kill you all, and today, I just happen to have the time to kill all 68 of you, one by one."

Dominating power! Minghe, unexpectedly, considered the 68 Sages-to-be as nonentities and even the Sorcerer and Demon tribes wouldn't dare to say such a thing. However, Minghe wasn't normally an arrogant person, but he was confident he would win, even facing the 68 Sages-to-be. As the old saying goes, if you know your enemy and yourself, you can fight a hundred battles and never be defeated.

On the one hand, Minghe clearly knew himself and had a solid foundation and a powerful flesh body. He also had a deep comprehension of the Divine Laws, giving him an unstoppable power. His Good Separation and Evil Separation were also at their Peak Level of Sage-to-be. If the other cultivators had known about this, most of them would run away immediately.

On the other hand, Minghe understood this enemy. The 68 cultivators in front of him were not an unit. Being defensive towards each other they would not be able to make the most of their power. Besides, most of them broke through into the Sage-to-be on the base of the Way of the Three Separations, which made their foundation unstable. Even if they released their Separations, Minghe could handle it easily.

Since Minghe knew himself and his enemy, why not show off his dominating power? This battle was not only necessary to protect his Hong Meng Immortal Qi or to cultivate his Law of Killing, but also as a way to shock all of the cultivators in the Untainted Land, warning them to never bother him, otherwise, he would kill them all.

Minghe's dominating announcement made the other Individual Cultivators crazy. How dare he call them nonentities! All of them were at the Sage-to-be and even Minghe himself was not a Sage. The Wild Wind Ancestor was furious and shouted, "Everyone, let's kill this arrogant asshole. Let him know who the real nonentity is."

As soon as they heard this, all 68 of the Sages-to-be started to attack together, forming one supernatural stream of power that was aimed towards Minghe. If Minghe was a normal Sage-to-be, he would have been destroyed and turned to dust by this unstoppable attack.

However, since he was Minghe, a Sage-to-be at the Peak Stage, would he be afraid of the others? Minghe laughed and before saying, "Well, you're all welcome to die by my hand." Without engaging any defense methods, Minghe directly rushed towards several of the nearest Sages-to-be. He knew that it was not wise to face the attack from the 68 Sages-to-be directly, but he didn't want to be in a passive situation, and he believed that to attack was always the best defense.

"My blood forms into a crescent, and the Red Lotus booms. Facing tens of thousands of tactics, I will stand still." By attacking he hadn't given up his defense. Minghe burst out his endless blood spirit while moving towards several Individual Cultivators nearest to him. A large blood lotus formed around Minghe, deflecting a large portion of attacks, keeping them from hurting him.

The blood lotus was a Magic Skill comprehended from the Law of Blood, which could kill all of their tactics. No one could break his lotus unless their tactics were better than Minghe's blood spirit. This was also the reason why he dared to fight with the 68 Sages-to-be directly.

Finding that Minghe was moving towards them, several cultivators hurried to use their Spiritual Treasures to defend against the attack. Minghe sneered and made a fist, breaking all of their tactics in front of him. The power of his fist was stronger than previously, so how could these cultivators ward against it with only their Mid Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures.

"Bang... " After a noisy explosion, several of their Spiritual Treasures had broken and the three closest Sages-to-be exploded into a bloody fog. Only a few of the cultivators with Mid Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures survived, but their treasures were now full of cracks. They were all too scared to look directly at Minghe and they had never thought that death had been so close to them all.

In an instant, three Sages-to-be had died and Minghe remained unscathed, which was something they hadn't seen before. However, Minghe didn't care what they were thinking because this was just the beginning of the slaughter.

The death of the three Sages-to-be gave Minghe a piece of new enlightenment about the Law of Killing. As he had expected, killing was the best way to comprehend that law. Since this was the case, he planned to start a real slaughter, causing the blood to flow, by killing them all!
