Chapter 313 Barrier Breaks
Crack!
Cracks appeared on the barrier, originating where Yue Zhe touched it.
They started spreading, reaching the skies, and soon, the whole barrier looked like cracked glass. It was about to all fall apart with just a single touch.
Yue Zhe took back his hand and shook it a little. Then, he touched the barrier again.
Crash!
Immediately, the barrier fragmented, and started disappearing into thin air. It was slowly disintegrating into nothingness.
"Impossible! With just a single touch!" Cai Guo's eyes popped out of their sockets and came back in. Everyone was looking at this with shocked eyes.
And the one with the ugliest face was Luo He. He was called here to do exactly that, and now he was ridiculed, put aside, and someone else came here and destroyed the barrier in just one punch?
Yue Zhe frowned though as he looked at his own fist.
"It looks like the suppression of the Realm of Beginnings is no joke. To think that I needed more than one punch to break open a simple barrier like this? Either I must be getting weaker, or the heavens must be getting more worried about the cultivators within." he mused.
"You are worrying too much. After thousands of years trapped in a cell, forced to feed off of nothing but fake Yin Essence, it is obvious that you are weaker than before. It will take a while for you to regain your original levels." Liu Man consoled him.
"Don't tell me! Is this the one that was responsible for the incident in the Moon Pavilion?" Cai Guo had a terrifying thought.
"Indeed. This is the beast that the Moon Pavilion dared to keep in their house for years and years. So stupid. Why would anyone keep one of the five sealing monsters next to them." Liu Man chuckled and shook his head.
"The five sealing monsters? What are those?" Liu Feng asked.
"Five beasts that were born before even me. Destined to go against the very heavens that birthed them. They are the initial rebels. Five beasts whose only goal is to seal the very heavens. The celestial sunbird, Moon Devouring Wolf, Heaven Shrouding Eagle, Star Eating Ant, and Earth Sealing Rat!" Liu Man transmitted to Liu Feng.
"Why did you not just say this out loud?" he transmitted back.
"Because by even saying their names out loud in the same sentence, the heavens will not tolerate it. They hate it even more than they tolerate my presence." Liu Man said.
"Haha! The five sealing monsters? It has been years since we deserved that title. I think that all of us lost the battle. Unless I go and release them all from the cages they are in, we will never get back to where we once were. Or else, the heavens could never withstand our onslaught." Yue Zhe shook his head.
"I am sure that you know more about the true mysteries of the world than I do. But unfortunately, this is not a conversation we can have right now, under these skies, and with those people beyond the barrier." Liu Man pointed forward.
With the barrier lost, beyond where the barrier once stood, eight people stood, looking forward with gaping mouths.
They were counting on the barrier to at least stay strong for a week or two. This was something that cost them more than anything else. With the resources they spent on the barrier, they could even afford to raise a Soul Evolution Expert from scratch!
And this barrier was destroyed in mere minutes?
"Are you the beast that the Moon Pavilion offended, senior?" Hong Qiu was at the forefront, looking fearfully at the man who destroyed their barrier with a single punch.
"Indeed. It looks like you are afraid that I will become a part of the battle. Don't worry. As long as you people are sensible, surely I will be too. Don't attack me, and fight to your heart's content. I am not a part of this battle. I am just a keen observer. I just destroyed the barrier so that the fight could actually start." Yue Zhe said.
"If you are getting any cold feet, don't worry about Yue Zhe. He will only kill you if you run from battle. If you actually fight and win, then he will be the last one to actually take your life today." Liu Man laughed and looked at the fearful faces of the Hong family.
They were terrified of the possibility that the beast that destroyed a thousand year heritage in a day would do the same to their own family.
But now, seeing that the beast was taking a backseat, they regained some confidence.
"You must be the Moon Princess. The one that refused the good graces of the second prince to leave with this bastard? The second prince is gracious. He will allow you to enter his harem, but you will no longer be his wife, but a concubine. And you must destroy your cultivation. The choice is yours, Moon Princess." Hong Qiu looked at Min Wan.
"Hahaha! If that really happens, then it will be such a pity. Young girl. Don't worry about today. As long as you win, I promise that I will make you stronger than before. You won't have to be in the situation that you were in before. But I won't enter the battle. You have to show your worth yourself." Yue Zhe laughed out.
"Don't worry. These bastards can't do anything to me. For years before, I had to handle more than one Soul Evolution Stage expert, and had to keep thousands in check. I think I can handle this fool who ran his mouth." Min Wan said as a thin sword appeared in her hand.
"Good! This is exactly what I want to hear! Then let the battle begin!" Yue Zhe laughed like a maniac as he hovered in the air, looking at the show that was presented in front of him.
