Chapter 749: Chaos Upanishad
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Layers of thick, dark clouds had created a magical, heavenly barrier. The gravity increased dozens of times. The closer they got to the sky, the stronger the gravity became.
Zi Yao's power had been recovered well, so it was easy for her to get through the clouds using her God Domain. However, it was tough for Shi Yan. Every step he made to move in the sky had consumed a lot of energy.
At this moment, Vermilion Bird True Flame in his soul altar suddenly emitted a magical energy wave. That energy wave contacted the thick clouds in the sky. In the next moment, the tremendous gravity that covered the entire place was reduced by several times.
Shi Yan soared up to the sky even faster than Zi Yao. When he got to outer space, a magical vortex appeared atop his head. It was the vortex that had dragged him into that bleak land.
The Vermilion Bird True Flame flew out. Right when it fell into the eye of the vortex, the latter stopped moving. It didn't generate a strong suction force anymore.
As the flame and the Vermilion Bird used to be one, it was familiar with the barriers and restrictions the bird had set up. Under the flame's power, all the energy barriers and vortexes ceased.
Shi Yan could fly smoothly out of the eye of the vortex. Shortly, he appeared in the forbidden area of the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field. He didn't hasten to leave as he hovered and waited in the sky. Slowly, Zi Yao appeared and flew towards him, floating shoulder to shoulder with him.
Energy vortexes and storms screamed around them. However, the Vermilion Bird True Flame had made them all cease, unable to move around and wreak havoc anymore.
That was why they didn't meet any obstacles on the way out of the land. With the Vermilion Bird True Flame's aid, they got out of the Solar Star Forbidden Area, flying between the burning meteorolites.
Those burning meteorolites were the pieces of the sun after it exploded. They still had a little bit of the Sun Original Essence. However, due to absorbing so many pieces of chipped rock and debris in outer space, the energy had been polluted. Shi Yan couldn't absorb this dirty energy. He could only use the Star Upanishad to create a feeble contact with them.
However, even though this connect was feeble, it was enough for him as long as it could bring him support when he was in need.
"Be careful!" Zi Yao tenderly called him. Her face became cold immediately. "Ka Tuo's still here."
Shi Yan frowned, instinctively releasing his Soul Consciousness. Flows of Soul Consciousness scattered, pouring into the burning meteorolites around them.
Meteorolites connected to him moved slowly, congregating towards him.
Tiger shark war chariots appeared from different corners. Ka Tuo with his shiny bald head was standing on the leading chariot. He couldn't hold his laughter. "You two have finally come out. I knew it. It's impossible to hide in there for a long time."
"So wise, my Boss!" Many space pirates faced the sky and laughed out loud. They were all excited thinking that their wait wasn't wasted.
"Ka Tuo, you're a haunting ghost that never vanishes." Zi Yao spoke with a dark face and a pair of cold eyes. "What is it that the other has promised you which makes you wait here for so long? Ka Tuo, why do you suddenly have plenty of time like that?"
"Your Highness, you've become smarter. I like you even more." Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo's grin seemed to last forever. "Oh yeah, the benefit the other has promised me is something I can hardly deny. Otherwise, I wouldn't need to keep my eye on you guys. I hope you would be smarter. Your amethyst war chariot is broken, so you can't escape today. You should be honest and follow me. As long as you can satisfy me, muahaha, perhaps I will keep you alive."
"If you dare to keep me alive, the other will kill you. Ka Tuo, making up such a thing in front of me, don't you feel it's too boring?" Zi Yao snorted, looking here and there. "I think you guys better leave earlier. Or else, you will regret taking this business."
"Ha ha ha!" Ka Tuo laughed crazily. "Your Highness, you're too innocent. If I dare to walk on this way, I have never thought that I can die naturally. If I can live one day, I want to earn more for that day. To me, even if my fate is set, I will strongly resist and find a way to survive."
Pausing for a while, Ka Tuo shouted, "Kill them! Whoever dares to show them mercy, Daddy will bury him altogether!"
After he finished, the crowd of space pirates became crazy, wildly storming forward.
Zi Yao didn't talk more, releasing her God Domain, her eyes turning serious. Seven-colored rainbow bloomed from her soft body, covering the whole area.
Shi Yan stood firmly. Suddenly, he grinned while talking to her. "Just pay attention to Ka Tuo. Leave the rest to me."
"You?" Zi Yao was stunned as her beautiful eyes gazed at him. "Are you sure? Although you've reached the Third Sky of True God Realm, do you think that you can gain the upper hand against King God Realm warriors?"
"If we don't try, we won't know," Shi Yan smiled, "Your Highness, have you ever heard about a method called 'Four ounces yield one thousand catties'?"
"Never," Zi Yao shook her head.
"Then, I'll show you."
Shi Yan stopped smiling. He gathered himself together, touching his forehead. Scorching flames diffused from him like countless rapid meteors dashing towards the burning meteorolites around him.
Instantly, the flaming meteorolites were revived, turning into fireballs, flying and colliding everywhere. They rumblingly rushed towards the space pirates.
Each burning meteorolite was extremely massive. Some of them still had bits of the Sun Original Essence. After absorbing numerous pieces of rock and debris, they became quite intimidating, moving in the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field.
Burning meteorolites moved by some principles of Nature. With the vivid red hue, they looked like dancing red lanterns, furiously attacking the space pirates.
Ka Tuo's subordinates pitched their voices and cursed. Once the flaming meteorolites collided with them, the flaming fluid on the menacing meteorolite would splash on them. They cried painfully while smoke fumed and sizzled on their God Bodies.
Floating quietly in the cold outer space, Shi Yan wore a cold, dark face. Flows of pure flaming solar energy shot out rapidly between his fingers, creating the connection with the meteorolites around him.
It seemed like invisible gossamers were connecting his fingers and the meteorolites, which could manipulate the massive, burning rock to stir and wreak havoc in the middle of the crowd of pirates.
Many pirates at the True God Realm, who hadn't gained a God Body yet, and had a realm that wasn't profound enough, had to spit out blood when the meteorolites hit them. Their blood was then burned into ashes by the flaming fluid, as their living aura vanished shortly.
Only warriors at the King God Realm could dodge in distress. When the flaming fluid touched them, they could resist for a while, using their tough God Bodies.
Shi Yan had used the power of only one warrior and the unique situation of the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field to manipulate the flaming meteorolites by his Star Martial Spirit, creating a magical sea of meteorolites, which torrentially crushed the space pirates.
Zi Yao's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at him deeply. After a long moment, she smiled. "Turns out it's what you call 'four ounces yield one thousand catties.' I can understand it now. As you've comprehended the Sun Upanishad, you used the energy taken from the Sun Original Essence to connect with the meteorolites. You're excellent! I didn't misjudge you."
Under Shi Yan's soul control, the meteorolite sea was unbreakable. A part of the pirate group was killed by the flaming meteorolites, while the other King God Realm warriors were flying around like flies. They couldn't pose a threat to Shi Yan.
His defense seemed to be indestructible.
Zi Yao could ease her mind. As she took a deep breath, the God Light twirled and expanded gradually from her body. A burning flame also extended from her God Domain. Added with her Soul Consciousness, this wisp of flame vaguely locked Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo.
Ka Tuo wore a savage countenance. He had released his God Domain for a long time. Remnants of energies, debris, and pieces of corpses were dragged into his God Domain while chaotic energy fluctuations appeared.
A chaotic aura emitted from Ka Tuo's God Body in the middle of his God Domain. His eyes became bloodshot. He roared as he was ready to storm forward.
Shi Yan's eyes shrank. He became tense and cautious.
However, right at this moment, a rainbow light sparked on his Blood Vein Ring. It flashed then disappeared, as if it had intruded Ka Tuo's God Domain.
The rainbow was like a small rope, taking a walk inside Ka Tuo's God Domain as if it were surveying something. A moment later, a feeble thought was sent to Shi Yan from the ring. "It's the Upanishad inherited from Ge Lu. Subdue him and make him your first Cortege. His Upanishad isn't pure enough. Detour... I'm going to impart you the earlier period of Ge Lu's Upanishad. You should entice him and make him follow you."
The aura of the Ring Spirit in the Blood Vein Ring was too feeble. If Shi Yan weren't cautious, he couldn't have felt it.
"Who is Ge Lu?" Shi Yan was surprised. He hastened to send his thought to the ring. "How are you? How have you restored?"
"It's tough to recover. I can only send you a bit of consciousness. Every time I talk to you, I have to consume energy. Don't talk about the irrelevant topics. I will impart you Ge Lu's Upanishad inheritance. Use it to entice him, and make him follow you. This inherited Upanishad can help him get back on the right path. However, if he wants to break through to the Original God Realm, I need to adjust the power one more time. Imparting the Upanishad to you will harm me. I will be quiet for a long time. Be careful. Don't let the others kill you."
A thought of the Ring Spirit flashed. In the next moment, a magical soul fluctuation flew directly to Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness. "Ge Lu is one of the Bloodthirsty's Cortege of Eight. Chaos Upanishad is his main Upanishad. Use your negative energy to cover it and hand it to the other..."
Imparting Unpanishad seemed to consume a lot of energy. The Ring Spirit's aura became weaker and weaker. Even though it hadn't explained clearly, it disappeared. Shi Yan couldn't sense it again, no matter how hard he tried.
Shi Yan was startled. He didn't have the time to think more, urging the negative energy in his acupuncture points and guiding it to his Sea of Consciousness. He had to use the negative energy to cover that flow of soul fluctuation to preserve it.
That flow of soul fluctuation seemed to have the aura of a magical Upanishad. It was like a strange soul sacrificial altar. After the negative energy had covered it, looked like it had a veil that made Shi Yan unable to see things clearly.
One of the Bloodthirsty's Cortege of Eight... Chaos Upanishad...
Thoughts appeared one by one in his head. Shi Yan was dumbstruck. Shortly, he seemed to get something as his eyes lit up.
