Maji and the other World-level cultivators behind Ji Ning and Ninedust had started to panic long ago. If you have to hit someone, you aren’t supposed to p them in the face! Not even Daolords would brazenly provoke other Daolords for no good reason. Ning’s provocative actions were designed to force Tianello out. If he hid back despite all of this, he would probably be theughingstock of this world.
“Now that’s rather interesting.” Ninedust waved his right hand, causing it to dramatically expand in size. It blocked out the skies and the sun as it wed out towards the avian. The avian let out a furious screech as it tore at Ninedust’s hand with its ns.
Whoosh! As an Ancient cultivator, Ninedust had an incredibly powerful divine body. Given that he was now a supreme Daolord, even a casual swipe from him was far beyond the likes of a golem which was merely equivalent to a Daolord of the Third Step. His giant fingers closed in around the avian, which sought to struggle but waspletely unable to break free.
“What?!” Tianello was shocked when he saw this from his position aboard his ship. His golem was equivalent to him in power, but it had been captured by a casual swipe?
“He’s absolutely terrifying. They’re definitely not people that I can fight back against. I need to run.” Tianello immediately fled, not worrying about anything else at all.
Ning was standing on the ground, head raised and watching this with a smile. “Come on down.” An invisible surge of power instantly swept out to cover the entire vessel.
All of the cultivators on the vessel, Tianello included, were instantly trapped within an illusory world. The entire vessel began to descend from the skies andnded on the ground. One figure after another began to walk out of the vessel, their eyes nk. The leader of the group was the white-haired elder Tianello, whose gaze was equally vacant. He wasn’t able to fight back at all.
“T-this...” Maji and the other World-level cultivators stared at this in astonishment. The mighty Tianello had been mentally dominated before even having a chance to fight in closebat? This was inconceivable!
“Tianello,” Ning called out. “I ask you this: who are the most powerful people within this world?”
“The top three ns of the nine great ns are the Fumo n, the Juwah n, and the Nonti n. These three great ns are far more powerful than the other six great ns.” Tianello’s gaze was vacant as he continued, “The Fumo n, the Juwah n, and the Nonti n are incredibly powerful. Any of them could wipe out the other six great ns with ease.”
“They call themselves members of the ‘Sithe’ race. All other ns have to submit to them, and they are the true rulers of this world,” Tianello said numbly.
Ning and Ninedust turned pale when they heard this. What?! The three most powerful ns in this actually referred to themselves as ‘Sithe’?
“They call themselves ‘Sithe’? Why?” Ning asked.
“Don’t know. They are the most ancient and most powerful ns on this. No one can resist them,” Tianello said. “Those who try to do so all died.”
Ning and Ninedust exchanged a nce.
“Darknorth... is it possible that a few scattered members of the Sithe actually survived?” Ninedust said. Both he and Darknorth suspected that the Stone Hellephant Wall had been created by the Sithe! It wasn’t impossible that some Sithe survived to live on this.
“Entirely possible.” Ning was much more somber now as well. “If it really is the Sithe... we’re in a great deal of danger.”
“Do the three great ns have any Eternal Emperors? Does this world hold any Eternal Emperors?” Ning asked.
“None.” Tianello replied robotically, “It has been a long, long time since any Emperors have appeared within this world. The annals of history do contain records of an Eternal Emperor whounched a grand war against the three great ns, but they joined forces and managed to kill him.”
“They killed an Eternal Emperor?” Ning frowned. “Was that Emperor an ordinary Daolord who broke through, or was he an incredibly powerful one?”
“He was an ordinary Daolord who broke through,” Tianello replied.
Both Ning and Ninedust let out sighs of relief.
“Should we hit’m?” Ninedust looked at Ning.
“Of course.” Ning nodded. “If they title themselves ‘Sithe’, then they are actual Sithe survivors or inheritors of the Sithe legacy. No matter what, they definitely know some of the secrets of the Sithe! If all three great ns had to work together to deal with an ordinary Daolord who broke through to be an Eternal Emperor, they shouldn’t be all that powerful.”
“At least they don’t have any Eternal Emperors at present.” Ninedust nodded as well. If they didn’t have any Eternal Emperors, it didn’t mater if they had ess to Sithe technology and techniques. Ning and Ninedust were both supreme Daolords! They were both capable of ying ordinary Eternal Emperors, especially Ning; Ning was now close to being on the same level as the eight lords of the Sacred Cities. Perhaps he was still rathercking whenpared to them, but he would be able to utterly dominate any Daolords.
......
As Ning and Ninedust discussed this secretive matters, they didn’t let Maji or the others overheard them. Maji and his World-levelpanions only watched as Tianello stared nkly as he spoke words they couldn’t hear.
“Awaken,” Ningmanded softly. Tianello immediately came back to his senses, as did the subordinates behind him. When he did so, he instantly felt terrified. He could clearly remember what he had just told Ning.
“Y-y-you...” Tianello couldn’t believe it. There was actually a person in this world capable of controlling him and forcing him to reveal some of his secrets.
“Self-imed Sithe... interesting.” Ning looked at Ninedust. “Let’s do it.”
“You first,” Ninedust grinned.
There was a limit to how strong the three great ns were. They didn’t even have a single Emperor! They did, however, im themselves to be the ‘Sithe’, which meant they definitely were inmand of certain Sithe mysteries. Given that it shouldn’t be all that dangerous, how could Ning and Ninedust just leave?
“Heartworld, descend!” Ning immediately unleashed his heartworld projection.
......
The vast heartworld projection came crashing down, filling every single inch of this entire. The powerful sense of pressure brought terror to all of the countless living beings in the... but of course, Ning didn’t use it to attack any of those weaklings.
“What’s going on?”
“Why do I feel as though an illusory world just fell upon us?”
The countless living creatures all raised their heads to stare upwards.
......
“This must be a Heartforce Cultivator’s heartworld projection.”
“It has been a long time since a Heartworld Cultivator has appeared in our. Has a new one arisen?”
“This heartworld projection is far too powerful. Even I feel a sense of fear! If it releases just a bit of its power, it could kill the two of us with ease.” A male and female pair of Daolords raised their heads to stare into the skies, a look of shock on their faces.
......
“Who is it?”
“Who dares to act with such arrogance, using a heartworld projection to suppress my Nonti n!” A furious roar rang out from a beautiful golden pce.
......
Everyone on this entire, from the three great ns to the countless ordinary living creatures, all raised their heads to watch as the awesome heartworld projection descended. A short whileter, the image of a white-robed youth who had a sword on his back appeared within the heartworld projection. He was absolutely towering in size, and he stared down upon the great earth, his gaze seeming to fill every inch of it.
“I hear that the Fumo n, the Juwah n, and the Nonti n are the three most powerful great ns of this world and have unified it under their rule! But... no matter how hard I try, I can’t discern anything particrly impressive about these three great ns. I was nning to wipe them out, but their Daolords are so weak that I can’t even be bothered to do so.”
“Listen closely. I can’t be bothered to wipe your three ns out, but from this day forth you should obediently listen to mymands. If you do so, I’ll let you live. Otherwise... hmph!”
“Impudence!”
“He’s courting death.”
“Where did this fool evene from?” Three enraged roars rang out from the three great ns, shaking the entire. The leaders of the Fumo, Juwah, and Nonti ns had been thoroughly enraged. They had ruled this for countless years. No one dared to challenge them... but this mysterious Heartforce Cultivator was being far too arrogant.
“Haha, you seem rather bold. I, Darknorth, shall be waiting for you at the Cranesoar Mountains. If you insist oning to your deaths, feel free toe find me here.” The illusory white-robed youth within the heartworld projection peered downwards at the three great ns. “But I really suggest that you note. You’d simply be throwing your lives away if you did... because all of you really are quite weak. Aha, ahaha, ahahahahaha!” Ning’sughter echoed throughout every inch of this.
The wilderness at the base of the Cranesoar Mountains.
Maji and the other World-level cultivators stared at Ning and Ninedust,pletedly dazed. Tianello and the World-level cultivators behind him were dazed as well. All of them had seen that heartworld projection and had heard Ning’s provocations.
“He’s... actually challenging the three great ns?” Tianello’s voice was trembling.
“W-who in the world are they?” Maji and the others were petrified as well.
Ning and Ninedust, however, remained quite calm. “All done.” Ning nodded at Ninedust. “Given the status these three great ns hold, there’s no way they’d just take that lying down. They’ll definitely attack.”
“Agreed.” Ninedust concurred. “That way, this battle is at a time and ce of our choosing. That’s of benefit to us.”
Given that these three great ns called themselves the Sithe, Ning and Ninedust were concerned that their headquarters probably wouldn’t be easily destroyed. Thus, they would choose a different ce for the battle! Ning’s deliberate provocations were aimed at forcing his enemies toe to the Cranesoar Mountains, as there were no dangerous formations here to worry about.
Although Ning was talking tough, he wasn’t so foolish as to actually charge straight into the headquarters of the three great ns.
