Chapter 480: Song Of The State Of Qin: No Clothes!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Bei Feng sucked in a cold breath of air as he calmed himself. He could not help but feel glad that his luck had still been not bad. He had only been spared because he was rushing for time after witnessing the fate of the people who had been struck dead by lightning when they tried to break through in the beginning.
This lightning was different from the tribulation lightning that the Cerberus had drawn when it broke through to the Controlled Dan realm. Although the tribulation lightning was fierce and one would die if they could not endure it, there was a trace of life to be found from it. If one managed to endure through it, the power of the lightning would turn into lifeforce, granting many benefits.
The lightning that loomed over him was one that wished to destroy completely, leaving no shred of life!
Bei Feng picked up the ancient book on the stone platform. The material that the words were imprinted on was not paper but some kind of animal’s skin. The skin was extremely white, like snow.
Large amounts of faint silver characters and patterns were printed on top of the animal skin, making it look like a divine book, and it was impossible to see what it meant.
“Ding! 3 Moons Treasure obtained, Yin-Yang! (Legacy of the Yin-Yang school of the hundred schools of thoughts; this manual includes cultivation techniques, martial techniques, stargazing and other rare skills. The Yin Yang school of thought merges ancient mathematics with the Yin Yang five elements doctrine, developing it a step further, constructing a grand scale of the universe to explain the causes of natural phenomena and the laws of change.) Experience gained: 0!”
“Hm? Yin-Yang School!”
Bei Feng’s eyes lit up with shock. When the Qin Emperor was battling the six states, the Yin-Yang School had left a hefty stroke in history. Of the hundred schools of thoughts, the Yin-Yang School was the most mysterious! Their strength was deep and incredibly powerful!
“The Yin-Yang School has actually left a legacy for themselves here; although its only a portion of the legacy, it seems like they actually had some doubts about their ability to leave the planet.”
Bei Feng gave the matter some thought and guessed that the Yin-Yang School’s intention of leaving a treasure like this behind was so that their legacy would not be broken.
Today, there were only a scarce few people from the hundred schools of thoughts still remaining, all of them struggling bitterly to survive. Most of them had been buried in the sands of history.
This was especially the case for the Yin-Yang School. After the Qin Dynasty, the Yin-Yang School’s legacy was broken. After that, eras passed and new generations replaced the old. Very few people hailed from the Yin-Yang School now.
On the contrary, it was the foreign astronomy ideas that took root. People only knew about the famous astrologers in history, and nothing about the Yin-Yang School!
Bei Feng stashed the book into his spatial ring, not in a hurry to go through it immediately. This book would be treated as a treasure by him. With it, his grasp over his newly attained Star Gods power would be greatly improved.
“Ka-cha!”
A light sound like chains breaking rang out and an opening appeared under the platform, revealing a flight of stairs.
Bei Feng walked downwards, following the stairs. Small white luminous balls the size of fists lined the two sides of the walls, and he did not need to worry about not being able to see anything.
At the bottom was another huge stone platform. At the edge of the platform was a seemingly bottomless abyss, which Death Qi constantly roiled up from.
The stairs under Bei Feng’s feet were only a meter wide, and there also wasn’t any protection on their two sides. The stairs seemed to be floating in midair and there weren’t any support for them in between. There was only the top and bottom part that connected to it.
Stairs like his were not the only one. Looking outwards, one could see thousands of them crisscrossing the area, each one as sturdy as it could be!
On one side, there was a hundred zhang tall elephant whose body radiated with bright golden light. Seeing it moving down the stairs carefully, it was easy to tell how strong the stairs were!
When Bei Feng reached the bottom, he found that he was not alone. The platform was packed with numerous humans and Demonic Beasts.
Every country had suffered a major loss to their numbers by this point. Inside the Chinese camp, of the 100-plus Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts and the tens of peak Fake Dan experts who went out, there were only 16 people remaining, as well as a rat and a dog…
Of the 16 people, there were three that Bei Feng did not know. As for the rest, he’d more or less interacted with them before.
“Boss, Mystic One isn’t out yet,” Bai Xiang reported with worry as soon as he saw Bei Feng.
“Let’s wait a bit more, there’s still some time left.”
Bei Feng felt somewhat complicated in this moment. How would he not know how Mystic One felt towards him? Only…
Sighing lightly, he turned and looked around him. When he saw that Qin Wufa and Qin Rulong’s figures were missing, his heart grew a shade more worried.
In such an environment, it was impossible for him to render them any help. Everyone could only depend on themselves.
The Cerberus lay on the ground, licking its wounds tenderly. A horrifying gash that nearly split it in two could be seen on its chest!
Bei Feng directly took out many precious herbs and medicine without any hesitation and gave it to the Cerberus.
The Cerberus’s strength was not much weaker than Ling Xu’s, but even it was injured so heavily. There was no need to mention Mystic One.
Of their group, Mystic One’s cultivation was the weakest, being only at the peak of the Controlled Dan primary stage. The first stage alone required her to endure against a puppet one small realm above her cultivation for one minute—or to defeat it. By his estimation, she should have quite a bit of difficulty with that stage.
If she didn’t have any breakthroughs in her combat strength during the test, she might have very well fallen in that stage already!
Qin Wufa was also at the peak primary stage Controlled Dan realm, but he should have no problems passing the first stage based on the Qin Clan’s methods. But, for some reason, he hadn’t appeared yet.
Of the people that he didn’t know, one was an old lama, and another was the Tibetan Vajrayana, Fa Wang. The last person was an ancient-looking old fellow in Daoist robes. Although he looked frail, a closer look at this corpse-like body would reveal the terrifying life force within him!
The rat from Mt Longhu, Cleanse Filth, was actually comparable to Ling Xu in strength as well, and it was currently looking blankly forward with a desolate look in its eyes.
“Fellow Daoist, how is it that you reached so late despite your strength? What did you encounter?”
Ling Xu went up to Bei Feng with a light smile on his face. There weren’t any other purposes other than to make a better relationship with him. The losses on his side had been too heavy, and the 12 Kunlun Devils had directly lost their name with only two remaining.
“I encountered a troublesome maze, and only walked out of it with much effort.”
Bei Feng was not willing to elaborate.
“No wonder.”
The two chatted idly, but as for their harvests, nobody mentioned anything. With them talking like this, time passed very quickly.
Of the nearly 2,000 Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts who entered the mausoleum together, there was only less than 500 remaining now!
The Vatican’s side remained the strongest faction, with over 40 people still standing around the Pope.
The numbers of Demonic Beasts were more, with over a thousand of them present. A third of them were Demonic Beasts at the Void Gu realm!
There were two Greater Demons among them, a Water Ape and a Drought Demon!
Each one had a large group of Demonic Beasts following them, and their battle prowess was incredible.
But the two sides did not battle at all. At this point, the most important thing to do was to leave successfully. Nobody knew what they would encounter, and both sides maintained their peace while looking at each other with hostility. At the same time, the two sides seemed united against outside forces.
“Boom!”
Numerous waves of air currents blasted towards the crowd, and the huge stone platform also began to waver!
Everyone felt like they were a tiny boat in a thunderstorm, teethering unsteadily in the water!
“What’s going on?!”
“What happened!”
“Quick, look up!”
Numeorus panicked cries rang out as everyone felt a heaven-shocking aura bursting out. It was like a thousand zhang tall giant wave rising out of the ocean, capable of devouring everything!
A powerful killing aura surged over from afar, covering the heavens and earth. The killing aura had condensed into a tangible form, and from afar, it seemed like a crimson red light had bloomed in the darkness!
“Urgh!”
A holy light that was incomparably pure burst out of the Pope’s eyes as he looked towards the distance. But in just an instant, the Pope groaned lightly and the holy light disappeared. Blood leaked from both his eyes.
The Drought Demon and the Water Ape also directly knelt on the ground, their expressions one of terror. The domineering looks they wore on their faces earlier had all disappeared completely.
“I was born in the wrong era… what a pity not to have been able to see the glory of him!”
Wang Wuyou’s expression was heavy as he sighed lightly. Just this aura alone was enough to tell him that he was nothing compared to Qin Shihuang.
“How can you say that there is no clothes? I am willing to share my battle robe 1 with you! The Son of Heaven has sent troops for us to fight with; let us repair our axes and spears, for we have a common enemy!
“How can you say that there is no clothes? I am willing to share my inner shirt with you! The Son of Heaven has sent troops for us to fight with; let us repair our pikes and halberds and battle alongside each other!
“How can you say that there is no clothes? I am willing to share my tunic with you! The Son of Heaven has sent troops for us to fight with; let us repair our armors and weapons and march forth together!”
An incomparably neat and clear voice rang out as a battle song sounded through the emptiness, accompanied by the clanging of metals and neighing of war horses.
“Hong!”
A thunderous sound burst out in everyone’s minds and everyone suddenly felt like they had returned to the Qin Dynasty’s era—that sky filled with battle cries and the glorious time when all schools of thoughts vyed for attention!
The image of huge Qin army marching across the lands, slaying countless devils and demons, ghosts and spirits, and even felling angels flashed through everyone’s minds. The crowd fell as silent as a group of cicadas in winter, standing quietly like primary school students waiting for their teachers to speak.
A battalion of 3,000 Qin Dynasty soldiers suddenly appeared before everyone. The deathly aura still hung chilling on their bodies, and a shocking battle intent radiated from them!
That hot bloodedness… still hadn’t cooled!
The moment the 3,000 soldiers appeared, everyone fell silent. Nobody moved at all.
“Outer races? Kill!”
A commanding voice suddenly rang out from the throat of the general standing in front of the army!
These soldiers probably did not know that they were already dead. Or even if they knew, although their spirits had dispersed, their wills had not! Because their wills been existing in this kind of special environment, they still hadn’t disappeared.
This shout had its source in mental power, and many people or Demonic Beasts whose mental power was insufficient directly collapsed. Those whose luck was good only lost consciousness, but if one’s mind was too weak, they would still become an idiot even if they awoke!
At this time, the Pope’s entire face had turned green with rage. The same went for all the experts from the other countries in the world. Everyone was cursing vehemently under their breaths at this moment!
They’d all reached here after going through great difficulties. But now, just because you called us the outer races, then we should all be killed? Why didn’t you mention this condition earlier? Why didn’t you? Why didn’t you!?
“Everyone, gather around me. I don’t believe that these things that’d died for such a long time would still have much battle ability!”
The calm expression that the Pope always wore suddenly disappeared as a fearsome look overcame him!
This mausoleum was everyone’s last hope of escaping Earth. After losing so many people and making it to this point, how could anyone be resigned to his end! How could they!
None of the experts present were fools. The soldiers before them were clearly not to be offended. At this point, they could only look towards the Vatican.
The Chinese cultivators and the local Demonic Beasts did not move at all, pretending that they didn’t see anything.
Since they were only looking to kill the outer races, then this matter had nothing to do with us.
Without giving them a chance to organize themselves, the Qin Dynasty soldiers started to attack. Each and every soldier’s strength was terrifying, not weaker than the Xiantian realm!
The leading general was a Void Gu realm expert, and even against several hundred Controlled Dan mid stage, late stage, and peak stage foreign experts, the army did not hesitate nor retreat. Instead, they directly charged into the group of experts!00
