Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 458 - 458: Angering a Celestial to Death(?)
Now feeling terror reigning in his mind as he grasps his chest, the heart inside it pounding in absolute panic as he just watched a celestial of far greater strength than himself being slaughtered singlehandedly by the young man in front of him, the Imperial Court’s Ancestor starts thinking of ways to escape out of this young man’s reach his initial line of though being expending all his might and probably even sacrificing some of his hard earned cultivation just so he can get away from this place as soon as possible.
‘That face… he’s…’ before he could even start to enact on this plan of his though, the old man was taken by an absolute train of a surprise as he finally saw the young figure’s face in all detain, his eyes widening even more as the terror inside him just reigns even further, realizing just what sort of monster he had encountered.
‘But there’s no way!? How is it even possible for him to reach the celestial-level when not even a single person from his mother’s generation has broken through the Half-step Celestial Realm!?’ realizing of whose descent this young man is, the ancestor of the Imperial Court couldn’t help but ask himself in panic as he watches the young man just standing there’ menacingly eyeing him making him panic all the more.
As this old man who looks like he’s just one foot away from the grave panics and starts thinking of ways to escape this place though, the immortal-like figure facing him, Su Xiaotian, merely remains rooted in his spot, knowing full well of something that his opponent isn’t aware of.
‘I only have the strength of a Half-step Celestial now…’ he thought to himself as he clicks his tongue in annoyance, seeing that the old ancestor of the greatest adversary he will ever have in the Eastern Continent manages to survive his previous strike, something that he couldn’t even do anymore right now as that strength he unleashed only grants him a single burst of attack.
Still, with the power of a Half-step Celestial Realm, along with his myriads of combat abilities that will make any other cultivator dizzy just trying to wrap their head around it, the immortal-like young man has yet to run out of way to at the very least, hold his opponent down until his backers, the empress-like beauty’s grandfather, arrives to deal with the ancient man in front of him.
Waving his hand, numerous weapons made of pure soul power starts manifesting in the air, forming into something completely material with the fusion of his Extreme Origin Transcendent Soul and Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi’s properties, the weapons, becoming imbued with elemental properties that made the very fabrics of space twist and turn from its absolute might.
Nodding as he smiles in satisfaction seeing that he is getting more and more adept at controlling the parts of his talents, the immortal-like young man then smiles as he clenches his raised fist, each of those soul weapons bearing the same elemental properties merging into a singular, immensely powerful blade that floats over his shoulder, seemingly just lying there peacefully lest he wills it to wreak havoc within the surrounding area.
Five of them were formed above his shoulders, forming a star that continuously revolves atop his head, as if a crown of a supreme being that transcends everything there is, the owner of this crown frowning a bit as he thought that he could still add some things in order to improve this new technique he is trying to create.
Inferring from his understanding of the temporal rule and spatial rule from his respective techniques, namely True Armament’s derivative, Time Transcending Blade and yet another technique that he created all by himself, Rend, he starts turning his comprehension into yet another attribute infused soul weapon that materializes the very nature of the element, or rather, rule that he is imbuing it right now.
Hence why the very space holding the Sky Soul Star trembles in absolute terror as a power that shouldn’t exist in this level of place starts surging forth, almost as if a god descending to mete out divine punishment towards mortals who continues to disobey their rules.
And with that, yet another couple of blades formed on top of the immortal-like young man’s head, entering as the once, five-pointed star crown made purely of blades imbued with the power of the five elements now transformed into a seven-pointed star, the two new additions being a blade of pure black and pure white respectively.
Both making one feel peculiar and dizzy should they look at them even for just a little bit longer than they should, the sole difference to them other than their colors being the fact that one of them visibly twist and turn the very fabrics of space around it, as if a single motion from this weapon will make a massive tear in space as it glides through it with ease.
As for the other one, to be exact, the pure white blade, it isn’t as obvious as the black blade with its absurdity, however, should an expert with sharp senses were to observe what is happening near the blade, the significance of their observation will make them all the more terrified of this pure, seemingly clean weapon rather than the destructive pure black blade.
After all, if one has the eyes to see the things as they are. Their gazes wouldn’t ignore the absurd thing going around that pure white blade, the air around it completely stale and lifeless, as if it had been there since the beginning of time and it will be even beyond the end of times, that’s just how much old the air around it will make one feel.
Of course, with his tail tucked away and trying to run as far as possible, the ancestor of the Imperial Court just would fail to identify the power imbued to this blade, if not for him realizing something just a little bit too late.
‘Wait… even if he’s that woman’s son, no matter how talented he is, there’s just no way for him to reach the celestial-level this young, and besides… a breakthrough to that realm will cause a Heavenly Tribulation to form… then…’
Forgetting about these facts as he immediately starts panicking the moment that he saw the Yang Demon being slaughtered in one move right in front of him, without even being able to do as much as attempt to defend himself, the old ancestor of the Imperial Court finally come to his mind, making him turn his way around once more as he is completely certain that there’s just no way this young man is capable of throwing yet another attack like that.
Just in case he can though, he still decided to keep a certain distance between the two of them, completely unaware of the young man’s familiarity with the spatial rules, meaning that even without that much of a mastery, he can still, at the very least, bridge the gap between them with a speed that will shock even this genuine celestial-level expert.
“Boy… you’ve brought quite the figure down, I know you don’t have any more tricks in you, surrender yourself now if you don’t want to endure eternal torment in my hands…” with his face revealing an expression of renewed confidence, molting out of his previous sheer terror, Long Yangxue threatened as he points his finger towards the immortal-like young man, said young man merely smiling as he heard the ancient man’s face.
“Why the fuck should I even listen to what you are saying? Grow up old man child, not everyone will stay silent and comply with this little princess attitude of yours” giving a look of utter disregard towards the figure in front of him Su Xiaotian replies as he raises a middle finger upon the ancient man, whose expression clearly reveals utter confusion as to why the young man reveals a hand sign like that.
Somehow though, despite being unaware of the meaning of this sign, the old man couldn’t help but feel extremely triggered as if the young man is cursing his entire nine generations of ancestors, making him grit his teeth even more as never in his life had he encountered someone who acts this audaciously right in front of him.
“Come on, go on old fertilizer, I’m listening… Oh, maybe you didn’t hear my words, men of your age have quite the hearing defects after all… AM I BEING SPEAKING LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO HEAR RIGHT NOW OLD FUCK???”
Watching the reddened expression of the Imperial Court’s ancestor in front of him, the immortal-like Su Xiaotian continues to talk to him in such a disregarding, as well as mocking manner that made the old man feel like on the off chance that he might die, it might not even be due to the fight about to happen between him and the immortal-like young man, but rather due to the immortal-like young man angering him to death.
