Chapter 722: The Scorching Sun That Melts The Chilling Snow

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Vigilante A and William left the Blood Spring and returned to the ground.

With a flick of the wrist by Vigilante A, both of them levitated!

It was as if all of the previous levitation restrictions no longer existed.

“You’re truly a powerful being from the Upper Realm. This sort of secret technique is unconventional.” William was in awe.

“Of course, there are specific techniques in magic. I’m not as masterful as Bodhisattva.” Vigilante A remarked candidly.

“Well, actually, you’re also powerful, Venerable One. You have a lot of skills that are unmatched by Bodhisattva...” William hastily buttered him up.

He had to do so. His whole life’s regret laid in the hands of his companion, and he needed Vigilante A to rectify everything.

“You don’t have to say so. I’ll never be jealous and angry just because I’m less skilled than others. On the contrary, I’ll learn from them.” Vigilante A said blandly.

“You have a big heart, Venerable One. Your benevolence is unmatched by us ordinary men.” William expressed this from the bottom of his heart.

Indeed, he was a humble and down-to-earth gentleman. If it were another powerhouse, he would definitely dislike it. The mightier a powerhouse, the less he would be willing to admit his inferiority to someone else.

However, the Venerable Dragon God seemed to be unaffected by this, which was, in fact, a rare sight. One could not tell how many eminent individuals had fallen from grace due to their lack of humility.

The two of them chatted and flew at the same time. Soon, they reached the midstream of the River of Blood where the Red Tree and the Astral Formation stood.

“Hmph, I’ll show you today what it means to be just and insusceptible to evil! I’ll show you the real path to righteousness!”

Vigilante A’s triumphant voice resounded between heaven and earth.

All hell broke loose within the Astral Formation.

“What?! How can he levitate!?” Countess Barito was horrified.

“It’s not good, my Countess. Just now, the mysterious entity told me that this fellow used some strange method to bypass the magical restrictions. It needs some time before it can find a way to stop him.” A subordinate quickly reported.

“Damn it! How could he do this?! How could he even trick the Gods of the realm and the Heavenly Order?” The middle-aged white woman, with a face caked full of powder, was confounded and furious.

“Now is not the time to be surprised. We’d better avoid them.” The subordinate suggested.

“No, I don’t believe it. I doubt he’s able to break the Astral Formation which has been blessed by Heaven and Earth and which has refined an infinite number of souls with just a few tricks and spells!” Countess Barito said viciously. “Now, I want you all to fortify this formation to the maximum! We have an endless supply of souls anyway, so there’s no worry about running out of power.”

“Yes, my Countess.”

A group of alchemists responded collectively.

Following this, the Astral Formation suddenly turned into the color of blood. All twelve stars emanated a bright shade of carmine red and spewed scarlet rays that crisscrossed each other, forming an elaborate astral pattern.

From above, it looked like a horoscope seal which functioned as a shield.

“Now let’s see which is stronger, your shield or my sword!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Vigilante A vanished into thin air. What took his place was a gigantic sword piercing through the sky!

This was the legendary flying sword known as “Soaring Dragon”. Now, it avoided all restrictions of heaven and earth and was able to demonstrate its might once again!

Ignoring everything in its path, the huge sword plunged downwards and struck the Astral Formation!

William immediately covered his ears and held his breath. He knew that this would be an impact like never before!

In that spur of a moment, everyone within the Astral Formation went white as a sheet. Petrified, they mustered all their efforts to strengthen the formation and to defend themselves against this unprecedented attack!

Time finally passed...

What followed was “bang”, and it was as if the entire realm vibrated.

After that, the Astral Formation, which was once spilling blood-red rays, burst like a bubble.

Everyone inside the formation, including the Tree, was stunned.

Another moment passed, and all of the alchemists exploded and disintegrated into ashes.

As for the Red Tree, it shook violently and its roots broke. All of its branches and leaves turned into dust!

“It can’t be! I have the blessings of heaven and earth! I’m the real owner of this realm!”

A shrill feminine voice rife with sorrow and agony could be heard from within the broken formation.

“Still alive, huh? You’ve got some skills.” Vigilante A remarked puzzledly.

“You’ve destroyed all of my minions, you’ve destroyed all of my clones! I, Mary Barito, will never let you leave alive, even if I to turn into an evil spirit!” The feminine voice cursed.

“Oh really? Once upon a time, a Poisonous Snake in a certain realm also cursed me in a similar manner. It wants to get its revenge on me each year, but I like that it does this. Every time, when that moment arrives, I will be there personally to fulfill its wish, but its curse is weak and can no longer keep up with me, so I hope yours will be stronger.” Vigilante A said blandly.

The feminine voice gradually faded away and never returned, as if it really did disappear forever.

Vigilante A appeared in mid-air and the giant sword vanished.

Then, he and William landed on the shattered Astral Formation and began to clean up the aftermath.

“You’re certainly no match for any enemies, Venerable One. In the face of all evil, you’re like the scorching sun that melts the chilling snow, getting rid of all malevolent forces with ease!” William remarked admiringly.

Some time ago, he was incited by his uncle to fight alongside Vigilante A. It was only due to his personality and experience that he did not make this a reality.

Like many people, when something thrilling occurred, he would think of ways to achieve something. However, after the thrill had died down, he would return to his regular, mundane ways of life.

He used to regard himself as highly intelligent. That was the truth, but it was all because of his lack of commitment to training which led to his mediocrity.

It was only through seeing and experiencing all of this on his own that he finally understood the reverence towards the Eastern Pharos. It was not something that one could attain with talent and perseverance!

The other individual’s might was holistic. It was almost impossible to find flaws in it.

This time around, there were restrictions made by Heaven and Earth. It seemed as if no solution could be found, but the other individual could find him, and through him, a solution was determined. From then on, a god from the Upper Realm was located and the problem was finally tackled.

It seemed easy, but how many of the usual geniuses could achieve this?

How many could forge alliances with the Bodhisattva Spirit King?

And how many could fulfill one’s own wishes and keep the secrets of this realm?

An ordinary warrior was not intimidating. What was intimidating was a warrior who not only had powerful forces behind him but also was able to mobilize resources from all directions. As they said, a person who often assisted others would eventually be assisted in return.

“Take note and observe carefully. Make sure there are no loose ends. The next step is to transform this place. You still need to put in more effort. Once it’s done, your wish will naturally be fulfilled and you can reside here.” Vigilante A promised.

“Thank you, Venerable One, for your generosity. I, William, will definitely do my utmost to repay all of your hard work.” William was full of gratitude.

“Hmm, you speak Mandarin more fluently than your uncle, I bet it’s at least level 8...” Vigilante A praised. (TN: Level 8 here refers to the intermediate (high) level graded by the HSK or Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, a test to ascertain one’s mastery of the Chinese language.)

Soon after, both of them began to observe meticulously within the broken Astral Formation.

All of the alchemists had disappeared without a trace, and as for the final feminine voice, the souls had probably received protection from the surroundings in this area and had escaped from this godforsaken place.

At last, there was only one survivor. The two men stood in front of a massive tree root.

“Venerable One, this Tree was on the side of the evil-doers. Traces of its roots are still left behind, so I doubt it’s really dead yet. Do be careful.” William advised.

“Oh, I remember they called him Master Abraham. Have you heard of this name?” Vigilante A asked.

“Yes, of course. That Hugh fellow once told me about him. He’s an American powerhouse representative who was once a kind, old man. I don’t know how he ended up as an accomplice of these evil alchemists, and as a sacrificial object too.” William answered truthfully.

He had no friendly relations with Master Abraham and was only speaking the objective truth, although he still had a bit of a soft spot for this person.

After all, they were fellow Americans, and Master Abraham was a good man, too. He did not want him to be completely destroyed and reach the point of no return.
