Painting of the Nine Immortals Chapter 939 - Raging Flame of Hatred

Chapter 939: Raging Flame of HatredTranslator: Tat Editor: Rundi

From the tunnel, dense sword rays arose with enough energy to kill everyone.

At this, Han Qing Xue and the others had a change in expression. They hurriedly used their spiritual energy to defend.

However, Ling Xian was not surprised at this. He had antic.i.p.ated danger. Of course, he didn’t think he could get through this safely.

Therefore, he merely used his indestructible physique to defend against the sword rays.

Dong, dong, dong!

The sound of metals clas.h.i.+ng arose and generated many sparks that soon disappeared.

Ling Xian’s expression was calm and he was unharmed.

Han Qing Xue and the others, however, were exhausted from this attack. Awe filled their hearts.

It was all because Ling Xian was acting as if nothing had happened. It was like what came against him weren’t terrifying sword rays, but harmless wind.

Remember that every single sword ray was violent and enough to kill a powerhouse at the intermediate stage of the original level. Therefore, for Ling Xian to be unharmed even though so many sword rays landed on him was shocking.

“Focus on defending. This was just the first wave of the sword rays. We don’t know how many more waves are coming.”

Ling Xian spoke softly. Gold light emitted off of him. Like a warrior of battle, no matter how sharp the sword rays were, he couldn’t get harmed.

Therefore, he defended against the sword rays and walked ahead in giant leaps.

Han Qing Xue and others gritted their teeth and followed. They were on guard and were ready to defend anytime as they carefully walked behind Ling Xian.

As they walked on, more and more sword rays appeared. They were endless and countless as they attacked the group.

Han Qing Xue and the others were getting more and more exhausted. All of them were now unrulily dressed, pale in the face, and were in bad condition.

Only Ling Xian remained calm since the beginning. He wasn’t at all hurt.

This was enough to prove that his capabilities had surpa.s.sed Han Qing Xue and the others.

“Speed up. I have a feeling we chose the right path.”

Ling Xian’s Plate of Escape began to shake, making him excited. He flipped around his sleeve in the face of the upcoming sword energy rays.

Next, his body began to s.h.i.+ne. Like an undying Sun, he exploded with much energy!

HOMMM!

After a loud rumble, Ling Xian slammed forward like an ancient beast with the ability to push away all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of h.e.l.l.

At this, Han Qing Xue and the others expressed much happiness. They followed Ling Xian and headed forward.

Just like that, Ling Xian had paved a path for everyone which greatly lessened their stress. After some time, they reached the end of the path.

At once, the sword energy rays disappeared. However, this wasn’t the end of their crisis, but the worsening of their crisis!

HOMMM!

Giant waves of energy appeared and rolled forward endlessly. With enough energy to collapse the heavens and cause turmoil in h.e.l.l.

Han Qing Xue and others’ had a change in expression. They quickly called their protective techniques to defend. However, the energy was violent and made everyone cough up blood.

Ling Xian didn’t. But his face was pale white.

What could he do? The attack of the waves was endless and weighed a ton. Every wave was stronger than the previous one. It was difficult for him to digest even with his physique.

However, other than his physique, another ability of his didn’t need spiritual energy to summon.

The Flame of Purity.

“Burn!”

Shouting, the Flame of Purity left his body and engulfed the place. It trapped the ocean waves outside and the waves slowly evaporated.

Everyone says water overpowers fire. But when the flame’s temperature is higher than the water, it can burn the water and evaporate it. The Flame of Purity’s temperature was without a doubt, higher.

When everyone saw how the waves were stopped by Ling Xian, they all sighed in relief.

Because they all knew that it was next to impossible for them to stop this wave. If they continued to try, they would’ve likely been smashed into pieces.

As much as they felt bitter, they also felt astonished. They didn’t think Ling Xian could resolve a crisis of this caliber.

“Burn!”

Ling Xian screamed and dialed the Flame of Purity to its extreme. Then, the G.o.dly fire fueled and boiled the ocean, evaporating the ocean completely.

“Phew… it’s over.”

Exhaling deeply, Ling Xian got rid of his G.o.dly Fire and then his eyes turned more heated.

He wasn’t the only one. Han Qing Xue and the others did the same.

All because after the water was gone, the setup of the stone room was exposed.

In the middle of the stone room was a cold and eerie coffin. It was exuding bright light like the undying Sun.

On top of the coffin were four heavenly treasures. Everyone’s eyes brightened and their breathing turned hasty.

They were all Heaven’s Favorites and naturally had seen a lot. Therefore, they recognized the value of these treasures right away.

“He is an omnipotent after all. Even the treasures he is buried with are different.”

Ling Xian exclaimed. His peripheral vision caught the wall behind the coffin and his expression froze.

There imprinted the giant character “HATE”. It was carved with blood. Though he was far away, he could sense the dense b.l.o.o.d.y energy and the flooding hatred!

Amongst this hatred was a sliver of hopelessness.

Ling Xian’s expression changed and he shuddered.

Then, everyone else saw the red character. Their faces were pale and they felt themselves being surrounded by hopelessness. Their bodies quivered.

“Friend, what is this?”

Han Qing Xue lost her composure. She felt like she was in h.e.l.l and was cold all over.

Only Ling Xian could retain his calm.

However, he also felt surrounded by the hopelessness from hatred. He felt himself getting more and more depressed and felt his body turn colder and colder.

“What an eerie character.”

Ling Xian shuddered and felt very cold as if a demon was staring at him. This feeling made him uneasy.

Therefore, he unleashed all the energy he had from his soul. It expanded throughout the room and chased away from coldness.

Han Qing Xue and the others felt a little better after this. But much hatred was revealed from their eyes. They no longer dared to look at the wall.

“This character is likely left behind by the omnipotent.”

Ling Xian frowned deeply. He could feel the omnipotent’s hatred and anger before death. As well as his hopelessness and sorrow.

He couldn’t help but be curious over what actually happened back then. What could have resulted in an omnipotent feeling so infuriated and desperate?

Was he killed by a rival?

Obviously not. If he was killed, how could he have gotten the time to set up an entire burial ground for himself? But if not that, what else?

Ling Xian was full of questions but he didn’t know how to answer them.

Just as he pondered, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Could it be… this person died because he failed to break through to the next level?

“Very likely!”

Ling Xian’s eyes exploded with light. He felt that his guess was very close to the truth. Or even, the truth itself!
