Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1514 - 667: Surrender (Part 2)
Previously on Cultivation System: Stronger with Age...
A massive amount of smoke and dust, accompanied by a powerful shockwave, spread in all directions. In an instant, the smoke and dust covered a range of several thousand to tens of thousands of meters. It was as if this vast area had turned into an apocalyptic world where one couldn’t see their own hand!
The cultivators fared somewhat better. After all, they had made preparations in advance, circulating the True Qi within their bodies to withstand the terrifying shockwave created when the giant stone hit the ground!
However, the soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom weren’t as fortunate. Although they sensed the impending danger and quickly ran towards the back, the shockwave still affected many of them, causing hundreds and even thousands of Great Yan soldiers to lose their footing and topple over onto the ground... Fortunately, the main impact of the giant stone was in its descent, so the spread wasn’t too extensive; otherwise, the sheer force of the shockwave alone could have claimed the lives of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Great Yan soldiers kilometers away!
The rumbling sound of the ground cracking echoed for a long time!
The entire camp descended into chaos. Many cried out, and numerous soldiers groaned in pain. Thankfully, despite the chaos that enveloped the camp in smoke and dust, there were no casualties among the regular soldiers!
It took several dozen seconds before,
the pervasive smoke and dust finally dissipated.
By this time, the cultivators and soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom finally dared to look towards the center of the stone pillar formation, still feeling a lingering fear!
At this point, all the previously standing stone pillars had vanished from that location. With the obstructing stone pillars gone, tens of thousands of people could clearly see the situation at that spot!
In the center of the stone pillar formation, a huge crater had formed. At its center was the terrifying giant stone that had sunk more than ten meters into the ground, with massive earth cracks spreading hundreds of meters around it!
Witnessing this scene, whether they were the cultivators present or the soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom, all couldn’t help but gasp in shock, each imagining how terrifying the power behind such a scene was. If that horrifying giant stone had been aimed at them... they almost dared not think further!
Just then,
Zhao Tianyue of the Ancestral Soul Sect suddenly spoke:
"Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye, your Immortal Techniques are unparalleled. I, Zhao Tianyue, could never hope to reach that level. This art of mountain-turning is practically the kind used by the Immortals in myth and legend! To stand alongside a true Immortal like Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye, I, Zhao Tianyue, can never again dare to call myself Immortal Venerable!
Today, Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye not only exterminated Ling Yingzi, the Sect Master of the Ghost Servant Sect, but also eliminated the sect’s elite demons. This is truly a blessing for the Great Yan Kingdom, for the Cultivation Realm, and for countless living beings on this planet. An endless admiration and gratitude from junior Zhao Tianyue!"
Hearing this, the cultivators instantly understood: not only had Ling Yingzi, who was struggling at the center of the stone pillars, perished beneath the giant stone, but so had many Immortal Venerables of the Ghost Servant Sect. Hence, they all turned their heads to look towards the position of the many Immortal Venerables of the Ghost Servant Sect!
The elders and elite of the Ghost Servant Sect had now turned into corpses,
With every elder and elite of the Ghost Servant Sect pierced by sharp stone spikes that protruded from the ground, penetrating their bodies and suspending them on stone pillars several meters high, as their blood flowed down the pillars, irrigating the grass beneath...
But now, amidst the chaos and the rise of smoke, Ding Ye had summoned the mystical Earth Spirit Immortal Technique once more, conjuring a large number of stone spikes from the ground to ruthlessly impale and kill those cruel and perverse cultivators of the Ghost Servant Sect!
Looking at the corpses of the elders and elites of the Ghost Servant Sect, and then at the terrifying giant stone embedded over ten meters into the ground,
cultivators from all the Six Great Immortal Sects, including the Blood Cloud Sect and the Ancestral Soul Sect, couldn’t help but swallow their saliva in fear, feeling their hair stand on end.
Just one person, merely one,
in the span of a few dozen seconds, crushed Ling Yingzi, the Sect Master of the Ghost Servant Sect, and annihilated dozens of its elders and elites...
This was almost unthinkable to the cultivators present, for the Ghost Servant Sect had always been one of the top-tier sects among the Nine Great Immortal Sects, renowned for its prowess in Artifact Refining Spiritual Artifacts, as well as its ruthless and cruel nature. Thus, though many Immortal Sects despised their deeds, rarely did any of them take the initiative to attack the Ghost Servant Sect!
Yet today, by Ding Ye’s hand, the domineering Ghost Servant Sect, which had roamed this planet for thousands of years, had its power reduced by ninety percent, with all its elites annihilated!
"Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye, your actions today are truly earth-shattering!
I, Liang Di, am entirely awed by what I’ve witnessed today, and could never have imagined that we cultivators might attain such world-shaking feats!
Furthermore, Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye’s wiping out of the Sect Master and elites of the Ghost Servant Sect is indeed a monumental merit, relieving countless lives from dire straits!
As for Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye’s lifesaving grace, though I, Liang Di, am of modest strength, I shall never forget. Should Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye ever have any needs in the future, you need only ask Liang Di, and I will mobilize all the forces of the Blood Cloud Sect to fulfill it!"
Liang Di, Sect Leader of the Blood Cloud Sect, was the second to react. He faced Ding Ye with reverence, bowing repeatedly to him.
This scene was overwhelming for Liang Di, Leader of the Blood Cloud Sect! Compared to the Immortal Techniques performed by Ding Ye, the so-called Blood Cloud Skill Immortal Technique of the Blood Cloud Sect seemed trivial, laughable as a baby compared to a robust adult!
As a result, Liang Di, Leader of the Blood Cloud Sect, was the first to ’pledge allegiance’ to such a terrifying Immortal Venerable. He understood very well that even if he might never get the chance to learn the Immortal Techniques of Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye, just establishing some connection between the Blood Cloud Sect and Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye would stabilize the sect’s thousand-year legacy. Liang Di believed firmly that within this world no cultivator could rival the might of Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye!
Cultivators from the other Six Immortal Sects looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and bravely stepped forward,
They all bowed in salute to the ’Great Immortal Venerable’ Ding Ye, declaring their ’allegiance’ on the spot. Several of them even produced precious materials and rare objects they carried, offering them to Ding Ye with a fervent insistence that he accept them.
Suddenly,
Ding Ye, who had just eradicated the elites of the Ghost Servant Sect, found himself surrounded by cultivators from eight Immortal Sects.
Yet Ding Ye had no interest in chatting with these guys, nor in forging relationships. At the moment, his heart was filled with joy as he awaited word from Master Profound Void, whose whereabouts were unknown — he was overjoyed because he had successfully completed Master Profound Void’s trial, which meant he could formally become Master Profound Void’s disciple!
In the distance,
Liang Yucheng gazed at this scene, his expression fluctuating wildly,
After a moment, Liang Yucheng finally spoke in disbelief: "Brother Ding... no, no, this Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye, when did he learn Immortal Techniques, and when did he become the disciple of that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable? The skills of Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye... are truly unimaginable!"
"Indeed, who could’ve thought that Great... Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye was already a disciple of that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, and possessed such formidable Immortal Techniques!
Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye truly kept a low profile, possessing otherworldly Immortal Techniques while quietly living as a minor trainer in a small Qingyuan City. It’s truly unfathomable!" said Ninth Young Master Huang from the Capital City, unable to suppress his amazement.
