Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 522 The Holy King Arrives!

The soil in this medicinal garden is red, but it's not just ordinary red soil; it's a divine blood medicinal garden, irrigated with divine blood.

Upon entering this medicinal garden, apart from the terrifying restrictions, all that could be seen was the sacred glow emanating from the earth.

This is the key reason why this place can nurture a sacred medicine that has been around for 100,000 years.

Everyone who witnessed this scene showed expressions of surprise and disbelief.

After all, this was the first time they had ever seen a medicinal herb garden of this caliber.

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved and calmed down completely.

Just then, trouble struck. As a wind chime rang out, Zhao Shuang was the first to stop.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dark figure appear before them.

The black figure was very tall, large, and quite strange. The sound of the wind chimes came from the string of white wind chimes around his waist.

Upon seeing the arrival of the group, the black-clad figure spoke in a hoarse voice.

"This is not a place for you. Leave now, or you will have no chance of survival."

Upon hearing this, the others adopted a "good luck" expression, which greatly surprised the black-clad figure. Just as he was about to say something more, he found himself unable to speak and then completely vanished.

"Who exactly is he? Do you know?" Canglan Martial Saint stared at the vanishing black figure, unable to resist voicing his doubts. He had actually wanted to speak when the black figure appeared, but unexpectedly, the figure spoke first, telling them to leave. And as they suspected, the black figure vanished instantly, completely obliterated by Zhao Shuang. As for how it was obliterated, Canglan Martial Saint still didn't understand. This wasn't the first time, and he was incredibly grateful that Zhao Shuang hadn't killed him when he was so arrogant in front of Zhao Fan, though the most important reason was, of course, his identity.

If she were just an ordinary saint, she would definitely be dead.

"He is a being from the underworld, and as for which race he belongs to, he should be from the Death Clan. His body is filled with the evil aura of death. As for why he came here, it's probably because of this medicinal garden, or perhaps he has always been here, only to awaken now. After all, the losses in that battle were too severe, so it's normal for him to choose to slumber until now. Of course, it's also possible that he was just a wisp of a spirit, a wisp of a powerful Death Clan member. However, he has now been destroyed by me. As for how I destroyed him, you don't need to know. My methods are very powerful and sophisticated, beyond your ability to investigate. In short, you don't need to know too much about this matter now. When the time is right, I will tell you, and you will naturally know. These things are only a matter of time."

After saying this, Zhao Shuang continued on his way. Although there might be trouble ahead, it wasn't a big deal for him now. As long as it could be resolved, that was enough. Zhao Shuang didn't want to concern himself with or ask about anything else.

Even so, Zhao Shuang still tends to ask more questions, because if he doesn't, the losses and consequences will be far too severe. So, he often has to ask more questions.

"Next, we will enter a space bubble, so you need to be prepared."

As soon as Zhao Shuang finished speaking, Canglan Martial Saint and the others showed strange and puzzled expressions.

Everyone looked at Zhao Shuang, but Zhao Shuang didn't explain. Instead, she pointed to Zhang Ruoji beside her. Seeing that Zhao Shuang was pointing at her, Zhang Ruoji patiently explained the spatial bubble to the others.

"These spatial bubbles are like bubbles in a pool of water, so most of them are very fragile and can easily shatter. In other words, some spatial bubbles can last for hundreds of years. The spatial bubble you mentioned, brother, has probably lasted for at least 100,000 years. This is mainly because this space has restrictions set up by the Great Sage, which allows spatial bubbles to last for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. When we enter a spatial bubble, it's like entering a completely new world. However, most spatial bubbles are not very large, so calling it a completely new world is a bit of an exaggeration. It should be considered an independent space."

As soon as Zhang Ruoji finished explaining, Zhao Shuang's figure disappeared into the void. Zhang Ruoji followed closely behind, and seeing that the two brothers had already left, the others naturally followed as well.

When they disappeared and reappeared, they found themselves in a separate little world, the space bubble the brothers had referred to. Beneath their feet lay a red earth, and above them was an island. This island was only a few thousand feet long, but it was covered with hundreds upon hundreds of white leaves. From the island, one could see that these leaves stretched vertically to the ground, and each leaf was like a waterfall gushing forth. The radiant glow was absolutely dazzling and eye-catching.

"This is the sacred herb that has been cultivated for 100,000 years, the Thousand-Leaf Sacred Heart Grass."

After saying this, Zhao Shuang reached out his hand, and the entire 100,000-year-old sacred medicine shrank at an extremely fast speed, eventually turning into a blade of grass only a foot in size.

The sight of Zhao Shuang swallowing the 100,000-year-old sacred herb left everyone dumbfounded. They never expected that Zhao Shuang would swallow the herb whole.

"Young master, young master, what you're doing is a bit wasteful."

Gu Songzi looked heartbroken at the sight, but Zhao Shuang only glanced at him before speaking.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm just putting it into my body. There's nowhere safer than inside me right now. We're about to face some big troubles. If I can't protect this 100,000-year-old sacred medicine, neither can you."

After saying that, trouble immediately followed, and the people who came were no ordinary ones. Each of them was a Saint King level expert, there were as many as five or six of them, some were human, some were undead vampires, and some were sleeping dead.

This scene made the faces of the others turn extremely ugly, and the human race's Holy King was from the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult.

However, it wasn't the Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect of Zhao Shuang's father-in-law, but rather the demonic sect of Shi Qianjue. This sect was led by a woman, and a rather famous one at that: Ye Xiaoxiang, the Palace Master of the Dark Night Palace of the Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect.

"The night rain in Xiaoxiang breaks one's heart, the sword of Ling Feiyu is unparalleled in the Red Chamber." This refers to the two most powerful women in the past of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect: Ye Xiaoxiang and Ling Feiyu.

The woman was dressed in black, which perfectly accentuated her figure. Her appearance made Gu Songzi's face turn extremely ugly.

"Greetings, Heavenly King; greetings, Elder Ku. The Sect Leader is deeply ashamed of what happened back then, and therefore wishes to invite Elder Ku back to the Divine Sect to revitalize it and eradicate the traitors." "Alright, stop wasting your breath. You have two choices. First, obediently leave this place; that way you'll have a chance to survive, and I guarantee I won't pursue you. Second, act now, and I guarantee I'll kill you all here. As for other nonsense, you don't need to say anything more. Since you've come, you should understand what you're about to face."

Zhao Shuang didn't let Gu Songzi speak, but instead smiled and addressed the five or six Holy Kings in front of him.

Facing five or six Holy Kings at once would be enough to make anyone's legs go weak, let alone having to protect such a large family.

"You all go into the Qiankun Realm. Leave them to me. Don't waste my time or slow me down here."

Zhao Shuang then spoke to Zhang Ruoji.

Without hesitation, Zhang Ruoji opened the Qiankun Realm, took everyone else inside, and ran in himself before handing the scroll to Zhao Shuang.

He knew very well that their only chance of survival was with Zhao Shuang; no one else could possibly live. Therefore, all their hopes rested on Zhao Shuang. If she couldn't lead them out alive, they were doomed.

"As a human, how dare you join forces with the Undying Blood Clan and the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan to fight against me? Don't you think that's incredibly shameful?"

Zhao Shuang looked at the three Saint Kings of the human race. Besides Ye Xiaoxiang, there were two other Saint King level experts, each of whom had a grudge against him.

One is from the ancient corpse-driving clan, and the other is from a family that has been intermarrying with the ancient corpse-driving clan for generations.

As for the remaining two Holy Kings, they belong to the Undying Blood Clan and the Death Clan, and the Death Clan is the black figure from earlier.

Clearly, Zhao Shuang hadn't completely killed him. Instead, he had awakened another, more powerful, split soul of his, which is why it appeared here. The purpose was to completely eliminate Zhao Shuang, this potential threat. As for the Undying Blood Clan, the one who came was a Saint King from the Demon Heaven Tribe.

"As long as we can kill the Heavenly King, what does it matter if we cooperate with the Undying Blood Clan to obtain everything he possesses here?"

The Holy King of the Corpse-Driving Clan spoke.

Clearly, he was determined to kill Zhao Shuang, because Zhao Shuang's lifespan was about to end, and if he could not advance further, he would surely die. But the best way to help him advance further was to obtain the 100,000-year-old sacred medicine inside Zhao Shuang's body. So no matter the cost, he was determined to kill Zhao Shuang and obtain everything he had.

He knew that the chances were slim, but he had no choice but to fight to the death. He needed to obtain the 100,000-year-old sacred medicine to have any hope of survival.

"Since you have chosen to cooperate with the Undying Blood Clan, you are doomed. So you'd better act now, or you will never have another chance. I will not give you a way out."

This was arguably the last time Zhao Shuang showed them kindness, which was by asking them to take the initiative to help.

"In that case, we won't be polite."

After saying this, several Saint King experts immediately attacked Zhao Shuang, but before they could even raise their hands, Zhao Shuang vanished.

Indeed, Zhao Shuang completely vanished from the spot, leaving the group looking at each other in disbelief, even stopping their raised hands in their tracks.

They never expected that Zhao Shuang, who was invincible and possessed unparalleled divine might, would escape right in front of them, and in such a bizarre way, leaving no trace whatsoever, and simply vanishing without a trace.

"He ran away? How is that possible? With his arrogance, how could he choose to run for his life?" Ye Xiaoxiang couldn't believe it at all; he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He simply couldn't imagine Zhao Shuang choosing to flee; it was utterly impossible. How could someone as brilliant and invincible as Zhao Shuang possibly choose to run away? Yet, the scene before them forced them to believe it. Because it was indeed the truth.

"No, he hasn't escaped yet. He's just hiding around us using some method. We must be extremely careful and absolutely cannot be careless. If we are careless, he will definitely kill us."

The Holy King of the Undying Blood Clan's expression turned extremely grim as he uttered these words, because in his perception, the danger posed by Zhao Shuang had not yet dissipated. This feeling proved one thing: Zhao Shuang had not left.

The moment he finished speaking, he vanished. Yes, he disappeared completely, right before the eyes of the other Holy Kings. This startled everyone, who immediately activated their defensive measures, but before they could finish, they too vanished.

When they finally appeared, they were outside, not inside the spatial bubble they had been in before. At the same time, they discovered that Zhao Shuang, who had been fleeing, had reappeared before them.

He was still smiling at them, which made them feel a chill down their spines. At the same time, they also felt that Zhao Shuang's strength had reached a level that they could not detect.

The moment this feeling arose, they tried to escape as fast as they could, to flee for their lives, but it was too late. They were completely immobilized, utterly paralyzed, like ants. Being controlled by Zhao Shuang reminded them of those who had been controlled and killed by them in the past.

At that moment, they finally understood the pain and fear in those people's hearts. This feeling truly terrified them.

This constant fear meant they wanted to speak, but found themselves unable to utter a word. They could only watch as the people around them disappeared, one by one.

And they themselves were also disappearing. As for what methods or means Zhao Shuang used, they had no idea. They only knew that they were disappearing, disappearing little by little, disappearing from the earth and sky from their toes.
