Chapter 483: Insidious Bronze Man

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

On a planet unknown distance from Earth, with a surface area hundreds to thousands of times larger than Earth. The density of the Heaven Earth Lingqi here was also thick to a shocking extent!

The humans who were born here, even the weakest, were at the Xiantian realm. And on this powerful planet, there was only one empire: the Great Qin!

At the heart of the planet, there was an incomparably huge city spread across the land. Countless people flowed in and out of the city, riding atop Demonic Beast mounts. The aura each person emanated was powerful to a shocking extent!

At this time, 11 heaven-suppressing auras burst into the sky, directly tearing apart the space above the city!

Countless cultivators—no matter their strength and background—all shivered intensely, as if submitting to this aura!

“The 11 Bronze Men all reacted together? Something big must be happening!”

An old man gasped as a look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

“The last time, when the disaster-grade Demonic Beast appeared, it’d only caused one bronze statue to stir. But this time, all 11 Bronze Men actually awoke! Could it be that we’re going to war with the Nether Planet?”

Countless people speculated as their hearts shook.

“HAHA! Little 12 is finally awake, he’s coming back!”

On this day, in the deepest secret realm in the Qin Palace, a joyful laugh sounded out, clear and powerful!

The “Historical Records of the First Emperor Qin Shihuang” had this portion: “26 years… collecting all the weapons of the world, gathering them in Xianyang, melting and crafting them into 12 golden men, each weighing thousands of stones, and moving to the palace.” Jia Yi’s 1 “Ten Crimes of Qin” also recorded the story of the 12 golden men in the “Melting of the People’s Weapons” section.

Why create 12 statues? The ancient people divided the vast Earth into 12 branches, which were regarded as the 12 Earthly Branches. The Earth was also often recorded as having four sides and eight directions, and the sum of that number is also 12. In short, the number 12 represented the Earth! Four seasons rotated through 12 months in a year; once the world was unified, peace would last for 10,000 generations. “With This Emperor as the First Emperor, the later generations shall be recorded forth as the second generation, the third generation and so forth to the world, unto eternity!”

It was said that after Emperor Qin Shihuang unified the six states, he was very worried about people rebelling, so he collected all the weapons of the world and cast them into large bronze men.

Every bronze man weighed at least a thousand stones! And according to current records, the lightest bronze figure still weighed 30 tons!

At this time, one of the 12 Bronze Men of legends was standing right in front of everyone’s eyes, floating in midair and emanating a fearsome aura!

Everyone felt like a heavy celestial mountain had been dropped on their backs, causing them not to be able to even see the bronze figure’s face!

“AHH!”

A person raised his head forcefully to look at the bronze man, and in an instant, his face twisted with fear and his entire body exploded!

This bronze man was simply too massive, to a point where the crowd did not amount to a single speck of dust before it. But it was not that the bronze man had grown large, but that everyone had been suppressed far beneath it!

“Pu!” U.p..dated by NovelKeep

The Pope spat out a huge mouthful of blood and retreated numerous steps frenziedly. The wings behind his back also began to fall apart.

The bronze man did not say anything, and only looked towards the Vatican’s cultivators before it slowly spat out a breath of air!

“Clang, clang!”

This breath was completely golden in color, and the shadow of countless powerful weapons could be seen within it!

Everyone’s faces still carried great unresignation and terror as countless cracks noiselessly appeared on their bodies!

“Boom!”

The crowd, as well as the many Demonic Beasts, looked on with shock as the area 10,000 zhang around the Vatican’s group was directly shattered. Powerful spatial winds suddenly burst out from the area!

Countless spatial cracks appeared like a thick blanket!

“Hu!”

The bronze man directly stepped out, entering into the chaotic space.

In an instant, the violent spatial storm stopped, and even the fragmented space went around its body!

The bronze man lifted up his arm, and a long polearm suddenly grew from his back. With a swift stroke, he pulled the polearm out, revealing a heaven-shocking glint!

Carrying an undescribable killing intent and a heaven-suppresive might, the polearm was stabbed forcefully forward, towards the void that was revealed behind the spatial rift!

The crowd did not even dare to raise their heads to look at this scene, and those who so much as took a peak had their bodies torn into many pieces from the terrifying edge!

“Ka-cha!”

The barrier behind the spatial space was directly broken through by the bronze man, and the indescribably sharp attack carved out a path billion li long!

The shocking stabbing force was unstoppable, even when there was a moon-sized planet in its way. The attack simply slashed through the planet, cutting it in half!

Nobody dared to raise their heads to witness this event, and everyone was shaking in their shoes from the might of the aura of the attack alone. At the same time, they could not help but secretly curse in their hearts. Where did such a perversely horrifying bronze man come from?! This was simply too frightening!

This feeling was how one would feel as a noob in a computer game, fresh out of a novice village, armed with only a small sword to hunt snails. And all of a sudden, the strongest boss level monster jumped out in the novice map in front of them!

How was one supposed to fight? What the f*ck were they going to fight with? The strongest faction among the foreign cultivators had just been killed with a single breath from this crazy bronze man. Whether they themselves were going to live still depended completely on the mood of that fellow!

Far out in the starry space, two large sects were engaging each other in a grand battle!

Countless powerful experts roared and charged at each other fiercely. Among these people, even the weakest disciple had the strength to sweep through everything unrivalled if placed on Earth!

But as the polearm stabbed out, a sharp beam slashed right through the middle of the battlefield!

Countless powerful cultivators did not even have the chance to react before they were slain by the sharp beam. Those that managed to react found themselves in a situation akin to a mantis trying to stop a horse cart.

The bronze man directly stepped into the spatial passage he’d created, finally disappearing from view!

Over 10 minutes passed before the crowd finally dared to breathe loudly. Those that had still survived and were luckily ignored by the bronze man all collapsed on the ground with their backs completely drenched in sweat. The series of events had been too terrifying!

Wang Wuyou, the Water Ape, and the Drought Demon all loosed a cold breath at this moment. The higher one’s cultivation was, the more they could understand just how frightening an existence the bronze man was!

At this moment, nobody, regardless of whether they were human or demon, had any remnant thoughts of fighting among themselves. Even the Vatican, which was such a powerful force on Earth, hadn’t been able to raise the slightest ripple of resistance before an existence like the bronze man, and had been directly killed.

While everyone mourned over the fate of the Vatican experts and the foreign cultivators who had died, they also felt incredibly fortunate in that moment. If they hadn’t been lucky enough to be born in the correct place, they would have been killed simply because of their race. That would simply be too tragic a way to go.

Everyone who was still alive gathered together and flew towards the opposite side of the platform collectively.

A day later, Bei Feng finally awoke slowly. Quickly scanning himself with his mental power, he could not help but smile bitterly.

His body was riddled with heavy injuries, and his foundations had been harmed as well!

It was impossible to tell how many blood vessels had been torn. At this moment, he was still barely alive because of his cultivation!

Without a change of expression, he began to inspect the evil source energy in his dantian.

‘It’s a bit lesser now.’

This damn evil source energy was like a ticking bomb which could explode at any moment. He’d also always felt extremely worried regarding it, but this time, it’d actually shrunk by a tenth!

‘Impossible, this evil source energy is normally extremely troublesome to deal with, but it’s actually lessened now?’

Bei Feng could not help but to scratch his head with confusion.

But at this moment, his injuries were too heavy, and he couldn’t spare much thought on the evil source energy. Bai Xiang had picked him up and was now travelling with the rest.

As he looked around, Bei Feng’s face paled, seeing that Mystic One, Qin Wufa and the rest hadn’t appeared. His heart ached terribly, but this was life!

After hearing Bai Xiang’s recount the events after he’d fainted, Bei Feng felt that it might not be a bad thing that Mystic One and the rest hadn’t appeared. After entering the Qin Emperor mausoleum, too many people had died.

If they were able to stick together from the start, Bei Feng could perhaps still bring everyone out with him unscathed. But when they entered the city, they had been immediately seperated by an irrestible force.

Evem though he’d already grown used to death and departure in these few years, he still felt a great a amount of sadness in his heart. Perhaps it would be his turn someday?

Ten days later. The scene before everyone was still a patch of darkness, and Bei Feng’s wounds had recovered by 30 percent. He could also fly along by himself now.

“Quick, look!”

“That’s a sacrificial altar!”

“The Five-Colored Altar? So it wasn’t just a myth after all!”

The crowd that had fallen silent all shouted with joy. A more than 10,000 zhang wide five-colored altar floated in the air before their eyes, magnificent to behold.

Everyone felt incredibly agitated as they increased their speed and landed atop the Five-Colored Altar.

‘What a powerful life force.’

Bei Feng instantly felt an incomparably pure life force and vital energy seep into his body as soon as he landed on the altar!

“But it’s just an altar, there isn’t a transference array that could teleport us across the space!”

There were still a few people who understood formations. At this time, they delivered a piece of news that drenched everyone’s heads in cold water.

“The sacrificial offerings on this altar are all incredibly extraordinary, but it’s a pity, the formations around them are too terrifying.”

“There’s definitely a perverse grand formation over this place. Whoever touches the offerings will most likely die instantly!”

At the center of the altar, there were more than a thousand offerings. Among them, a purple bamboo constantly emitted wisps of primal chaos Qi!

There was also a completely golden toad, holding an ancient Qin era coin in its mouth.

“Heavens, is that a true dragon?!”

“And that’s a Dragon Fruit?”

The crowd’s eyes widden as drool nearly spilled out of their mouths.

At this time, a snake species Demonic Beast suddenly slithered out and shot towards the offering that looked like a true dragon!

Nobody moved to stop it. Since someone was offering to go ahead of them and test the waters for free, they couldn’t hope for anything better.

Close! Close! The Demonic Beast’s eyes were filled with greed and desire. If it could swallow this true dragon, no, don’t mention swallow! If it could just obtain a morsel of its flesh, it would probably be able to break the bloodline shackles that bound it!

“Boom!”

On the originally calm and waveless altar, electric currents suddenly appeared, forming a Daoist priest completely made out of lightning wearing a high crown!

The lightning figure simply pointed towards the snake and a bolt of lightning flashed through the sky, obliverating the latter!

“Si!”

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air collectively. A Void Gu realm Demonic Beast had just died like that, without the slightest chance to put up a resistance!

“What a pity.”

Everyone shook their heads, their hearts aching with unwillingness.

It was fine if they couldn’t see the nice things, but with so many top-tier resources placed before their eyes yet out of reach, it was simply too tormenting.

But no matter how unwilling they felt, the crowd could only look and sigh in the face of the powerful formation.

Bei Feng also felt extremely reluctant about the situation. But against such a formation, even his Grade 4 Myriad Heavens Fishing Rod would not be useful. Since a long time ago, this place was already the worshiping ground for the Qin Dynasty!
