The Eternal Supreme - Chapter 213 - Success
Chapter 213: Success
“No! I refuse to accept this!” Xu Feng growled. His hands flashed in incantation gestures, and a large ball of Primordial Qi soon appeared in his palm. However, his skin kept cracking during the process, and in just a flash, he was covered in blood. His energy finally lost control and broke out of his body.
“Even if I were to die, I’ll bring you with me! Primordial Qi blast, explode!”
The large ball of light bloomed while Duan Yue’s Heavenly Halberd fell on it at the same time. Two forces collided with a boom and scattered, turning the whole sky as bright as daylight.
Seized with terror, the eyes of those Martial Grandmasters of the Constellation Sect went wide as they turned to flee. However, most of them were caught up in the impact of the two forces and were instantly wiped out. Even the Blueluan warship’s tail was hit by a blast wave, and the whole ship was shaking.
The battle was so noisy and violent that it had alarmed almost all the warriors in Qinghai. Everyone watched cautiously from a distance and no one dared to come closer.
When they saw Xu Feng self-detonate and many Martial Grandmasters be wiped out, they were struck dumb with astonishment. Meanwhile, the disciples of the Constellation Sect, who were thrown out of the warship, were petrified as they watched that happened!

In their hearts, Xu Feng was a lofty figure like a god, and he was also one of the few top experts in Qinghai. It could be said that even if he encountered an enemy whom he could not defeat in Qinghai, he would have no problem escaping. But now, he blew himself up in front of their eyes and turned into dust.
The white light that burst out under the collision of the two forces instantly hurt everyone’s eyes, forcing them to close their eyes. Duan Yue was impacted by the force as well, which seriously injured his internal organs and made him cough out a mouthful of blood.
He beckoned, and the Heavenly Halberd flew back into his hand before he flew straight into the warship. Soon, the warship began to slowly turn. At a glance, its tail that was being hit looked broken, but the main structure was not damaged. After Duan Yue went inside, it sped up and flew toward the South Sea.
Of the two Blueluan warships that hovered all day over Qinghai, one suddenly left in front of everyone’s eyes. That stunned the people in Qinghai, and they found it hard to believe.
As the colossal warship was gone, sunlight poured straight down into the city and lit up those buildings that had not basked in the sun for years, and the whole Qinghai seemed to have turned brighter.
“Is this real? I can’t believe it was driven away! Of the two warships, only the Thousand Cranes Court’s one is left!”
“Who exactly did this? They are so strong!”
“Of course, it is the joint forces of the Flying Sword Sect, Tiger Slayer Sect, and Foursquare Library! Who else can destroy the Constellation Sect in Qinghai?”
“Do the three sects have the strength? It would take at least a Martial Emperor to kill Xu Feng, right?”
“Well, that makes sense…I reckon the Thousand Cranes Court must be involved as well. The Constellation Sect is just a foreign power in Qinghai, and both of them had long-held grudges with one another.”
“Shh! Lower your voice! We better not talk about the grudges between powerful sects, or we might die one day without knowing why!”
In a small building in the distance, three old men watched with serious faces as the Blueluan warship sped away, speechless for a long time. They were the sect leaders of the Flying Sword Sect, Tiger Slayer Sect, and Foursquare Library. Judging from their auras, they were all peak nine-stars Martial Grandmasters.
The sect leader of the Tiger Slayer Sect could not hold it anymore, and he said, “What now? Almost everyone thinks that we did this. Unless we can catch the culprit, there’s nothing we can do to clear our name!”
“Clear our name? Hmph! Why does it need clearing?” said the sect leader of the Foursquare Library. “Isn’t this what we intended to do? And isn’t it better now that someone has done it for us?”
“The problem is that we didn’t do it,” the leader of the Tiger Slayer Sect sighed. “And those people have completely destroyed the Constellation Sect’s foundation in Qinghai. Do you think their headquarters in the East will let this matter rest easily? I heard that the Old Freak Constellation is an expert of the Nine Heavens realm. If he comes to Skyfragrance Empire, even the Thousand Cranes Court cannot stop him, not to mention the three of us!”
The leader of the Foursquare Library snorted disapprovingly and said, “Old Freak Constellation will violate the iron rules set by the Holy Realm if he travels to another region. Even though he is an expert of the Nine Heavens realm, he cannot fight against the whole Holy Realm alone!”
“As long as he can prove that we are the culprits, he will not be considered to be violating the Holy Realm’s iron rules.”
“But, it was not done by us, so how is he going to prove that we are the culprits?”
The leader of the Tiger Slayer Sect paused. He found that he could not reason with this scholar. These people who cultivated righteous energy were all tough nuts to crack, and they knew nothing about the worldly wisdom. He shook his head and turned to the leader of the Flying Sword Sect, “Brother Zhang, what do you think of this?”
The leader of the Flying Sword Sect did not look toward the South Sea, but at the ground beneath where the Constellation Sect’s warship had been. His face was grave as he said, “We may really be in huge trouble!”
“Why?” That startled the other two men, and they followed his gaze.
“We need to quickly save those disciples of the Constellation Sect!” the leader of the Flying Sword Sect cried out while breaking out in a cold sweat. “Someone is slaughtering them! If these disciples were killed, we will have to bear all the blames, and that Old Freak Constellation will surely come to settle the scores with us!”
The other two men were taken aback, and they sensed that the lives of the Constellation Sect’s disciples were being taken away, one at a time. Hurriedly, they rushed out of the building.
If those disciples were all killed, it was equivalent to the complete wipeout of the Constellation Sect’s branch with the cruelest method of leaving no survivors. The sect leader of the Constellation Sect would have all the reasons he needed to travel to another region without being punished with that. And when a Martial Sovereign of the Nine Heavens realm descended upon the South, even the three major empires of the South would not be able to stop him, not to mention three little sects!
Inside the Thousand Cranes Court’s Blueluan warship, an old man said with a solemn face, “Zu Zhengqing, you’re playing with fire! If you attract Old Freak Constellation here, who in the whole Skyfragrance Empire can stop him?”
Another old man, Zu Zhengqing, wore a cold face as he snorted and said, “Elder Yang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, destroying the Constellation Sect’s branch and attracting Old Freak Constellation here to get rid of the other sects for us. As long as nothing goes wrong, at least half of the profits in Qinghai will belong to the Thousand Cranes Court from today on.”
Elder Yang said angrily, “But, the consequences are too serious! If Old Freak Constellation found out that we were the one who did this, even the Court Leader will not be able to protect you!”
Zu Zhengqing sneered proudly, “You worry too much, Elder Yang! With the Flying Sword Sect, Tiger Slayer Sect, and Foursquare Library as the scapegoats, we will be safe. Fortune favors the bold. If we are so cowardly, how can we accomplish anything big?”
Elder Yang shivered with anger, but there was nothing he could do, and he watched worriedly as the experts of the Thousand Cranes Court, their faces covered with clothes, killed the disciples of the Constellation Sect down below.
…
Yunxiao drove the Blueluan warship thousands of miles into the South Sea, and then he made it stop in mid-air over the water. It was quiet here, without any signs of people for tens of thousands of miles around.
Duan Yue stood on the warship with a pale face, looking at the blue sky and sea. He felt a little unreal, and he murmured to himself, “We’ve really robbed a Blueluan warship…How’s this even possible…”
He was seriously wounded by the explosion, and now he was sealed up again, so his cultivation base dropped back to that of a seven-stars Martial Grandmaster, which made his condition worse. His complexion was extremely unhealthy.
But, when he thought how easily the Blueluan warship, which he had been looking up to in the past, had been taken by them, he still felt like he was dreaming. He suddenly had a feeling that this young man in front of him was not a human being.
Yunxiao was running back and forth in the warship, seemingly inspecting its condition, and his face grew uglier and uglier. Finally, he scolded, “What a posturing sect! If you are poor, don’t play with such a high-end thing! Apart from hovering in mid-air and serving as a facade, I can’t find anything useful from this warship!”
Duan Yue had already gotten used to all his scolding. “Didn’t you fix the primary offensive and defensive arrays? Just that Prajna Magic Sound attack is enough to mark the value of this warship.”
Yunxiao glanced at him and said, “Do you know how many Primordial Crystals it cost me to open the shield and attack with the magic sound for ten breaths?” Looking at Duan Yue, who had a blank face, he said coldly, “The equivalent of 50,000 medial-grade Primordial Stones.”
That gave Duan Yue a fright, and he almost fell into the sea. “Are you kidding me! 50,000 medial-grade Primordial Stones were gone in such a short time! Does the array eat Primordial Stones or what? Fu*k! I can’t even earn that much with one year of hard work!”
Yunxiao stared at him and said, “Why else do you think it can be so powerful? A sixth-tier warship can affect the flow of blood and Qi and the mind of a Martial Emperor…Had it not been for a large amount of Primordial Qi it devoured, do you really think a Martial Emperor is so weak?”
Duan Yue fell silent. A Martial Emperor of the Seven Constellations realm was already a supreme existence in Skyfragrance Empire. It was indeed a very heaven-defying fact that a sixth-tier mystic artifact could disturb his mind. With that in mind, he thought it was reasonable for the warship to devour so many Primordial Stones in one shot.
He looked up and glanced at the six alchemists, who stood timidly in a corner, as he frowned and said, “Young Master Yun, what are you going to do with them?”
The six men were taken aback. One of them mustered his courage and said, “Please don’t kill us! We are all third-tier alchemists, and you may need us.”
In the past, Duan Yue might have thought these six people were priceless, but since he witnessed how freakish Yunxiao was, no other alchemist could attract his attention. While frowning, he said, “Will there be any trouble if we spare their lives? They are from the Constellation Sect after all.”
Yunxiao said, “Don’t worry! They are familiar with this warship, and I can use them. The most important thing now is how we are going to restore this warship.” He thought for a moment with his eyes gleaming, and then he murmured to himself, “It seems that I can only look for them.”
“Them?” Duan Yue said doubtfully, “Who are they? Who has the ability to repair a Blueluan warship?”
“The Thunderwind Trading Company, who is second only to the Myriad Treasures Store in strength in the Commerce Alliance and bold enough to accept any business.”
