Spirit Vessel-Chapter 1050: The Mortal Coil

Chapter 1050: The Mortal Coil

This was a large-scale assault with millions of elites from the Yin World. Countless techniques and spirit weapons were shot into Star Court.

However, they were all stopped short by the grand formation known as Supreme Star.

The attacks only got within three thousand miles before being nullified.

“I didn’t expect the lord of Sacred Court to be such a coward. You should abdicate already, you’re a disgrace to the human race!” Experts started taunting.

“Isn’t Azure Lord extremely powerful? Come out and fight our King Pingdeng then?!”

“They’re just a bunch of useless fools. This is why we can’t compete with the immemorial demons. If we were in charge, Sixth Central would become the strongest dynasty.”

The tauntings got worse and worse, finally managing to provoke someone.

A spot opened on the barrier and a group came out. The one leading was the commander of the sacred guard.

He wore ancient armor plates with a crimson spear. His mount was a windfire black-eyed beast.

“Whoosh!” He thrust his spear and pierced the body of an old monster who taunted them earlier.

“Your unruly bunch must be daydreaming about ruling Sixth Central.” He activated his avatar. A figure of a war god towered at 8,564 meters behind him.

It punched forward and killed thousands of enemies in the blink of an eye, reducing them to nothingness.

“A war god as a guard? How sad. If you join the Yin World, we will treat you the right way.” King Pingdeng tried to recruit him.

Unfortunately, the commander immediately attacked. No one dared to get close to their battlefield. Just the shockwaves alone would crush everything.

Feng Feiyun and the Evil Woman took advantage of this and soared toward the opening in the barrier.

A three-eyed monk with black wings raised a gigantic steelhammer with both hands and smashed down at Feiyun.

“Cosmic Seal!” Feiyun gathered a Buddhist world in his palm.

Alas, he couldn’t retaliate because the monk was cut into two halves that fall to the ground.

The Evil Woman easily killed him and took the steelhammer: “An eleventh-ranked weapon, decent.”

Feiyun recalled his energy and the two of them flew through the barrier. Of course, they were met by guards right away.

One of the guards was a white-armored youth. He stood on top of a platform and roared: “Death to all intruders!”

He served as a formational master. Despite his young appearance, he had cultivated for more than a thousand years. He controlled the power of the formation to attack Feng Feiyun and the Evil Woman.

“This is a misunderstanding, I am the domain lord of Battle and a member of the Heaven Restoration Chamber!” Feiyun took out two badges and tossed them toward the opponent at once.

Both seals had Feiyun’s aura and personal information. This was impossible to fake.

The genius read it and stared carefully at Feiyun. He remained vigilant and coldly uttered: “I see, Honorable Domain Lord. However, these are perilous times and those from the Yin World are treacherous. There have been spies so in order to prevent the worst outcome, please do not resist and be escorted to the Heaven’s Emergence Temple. Your freedom will be restored once we verify your identity.”

“It’s best to be cautious during troubled times, you have my cooperation.” Feiyun and the Evil Woman landed.

Guards escorted them to the temple meant for those under suspicion. They preferred to play it safe than sorry.

They didn’t wait for long before a captain came by to return his badges. He towered at eight meters, as muscular as can be.

He lowered his head and smiled: “Elder Ge has personally confirmed your identity, My Lord. You and your friend are free to go.”

“Thank you, Captain.” Feiyun put his badges away, thinking that these toys were rather useful.

A captain in the sacred guard was in charge of one million men, meaning that the guy was rather strong. Feiyun was relatively polite toward him.

“We are all Elder Ge’s followers, martial brothers of sorts, no need to be so polite.” The captain smiled.

Feiyun understood why a captain went to bail him out. So this was due to Elder Ge.

Suddenly, an old man saw him and became excited: “Feng Feiyun, the territory lord wishes to see you.”

Feiyun recognized him - an old man who usually followed Liu Suzi. He was one of her dao protectors.

“His Excellency is here?” Feiyun found this surprising. Did the territory lords come to help Sacred Court?

No, because if this was the case, the Yin World’s attackers would have retreated already.

This was his first time at Star Court so he was rather unfamiliar. He didn’t know the location of the treasury or the palace of the territory lord.

All the defensive formations have been activated. Patrols were everywhere. Only domain lords and up had the freedom to move around.

He wanted to find out more information before seeking the treasury.

The old man led him to see the temporary location for the cultivators from Crimson. This was a majestic fortress with walls as tall as mountains. Cultivators patrolled constantly, not allowing any intruder to come close.

The Evil Woman seemed relaxed, looking like a weak female scholar with fluttering hair. She whispered telepathically: “There is a rather powerful cultivator in this fortress.”

He knew that she was talking about Crimson Territory Lord, a war god.

Those from Crimson were shocked to see him alive. This was nothing short of a miracle and their respect for him grew.

“Greetings, Your Excellency.” He entered a golden palace and stood proudly with proper decorum.

The territory lord sat on top of a throne made of gold, looking around nineteen years of age despite having cultivated for more than two thousand years.

“You’ve entered the eighth level of Nirvana?” He smiled.

Inside the palace were four ancestors from the Liu as well. Liu Suzi was also present, sitting nearest to the territory lord.

“Yes, fortune was kind to me.” Feiyun said.

“Excellent, a half-demon at the eighth level is amazing, enough to be a king of your race. Ignore others since it doesn’t matter if you can’t reach Heaven’s Emergence. Reach the apex in another field and you will prove to them your ability and talent.” He said.

“Thank you for your kind words.” Feiyun said before asking: “May I see the first princess?”

His smile disappeared and was replaced by a cold expression. He called for Liu Suhong’s corpse.

She was inside a crystal coffin now, protected by its chilling affinity. A layer of frost surrounded her for preservation purposes.

Feiyun touched her cold cheek. Some believed that cultivation allowed others to not see death as a big deal.

This wasn’t the case. Humans always had emotions.

Liu Suhong was as dead as can be; her soul was already gone. A rebirth would only turn her into a mindless puppet.

“We’re all passersby on the mortal coil. How fleeting.” Feiyun sighed and said. He then closed the lid and waved his hand.

Servants came to carry the coffin away.
