Chapter 259: Utmost
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the eyes of the line of Chaos cone nail, the entire world was a giant playground. The fierce wolf, the green grass, the young girl’s red lips, the poop of wild boar, they were no different from every other thing, they were all their playthings.
If an ordinary person were to act this way, the world would only scoff at them, fools!
However, the line of Chaos cone nail had outstanding abilities and a savage nature!
Wen Leyang even suspected that the politeness and friendliness showed by this fat and skinny Mo brothers were completely out of their love for their toys.
The fat man Mo Yibai excitedly recounted to Chang Li the ‘interesting things’ which he had done all these years. An impatient look clearly showed on the golden monkey’s face. He asked him coldly, “How many men have you brothers killed all these years?”
The fat man blinked in astonishment, “I haven’t counted that before...” He was halfway through his speech when he lifted his head suddenly. His gaze looked straight at One Word’s Palace First Brother Xia among the crowd, “What are you looking at?”
Fei Fei followed the fat man’s gaze. Her brows knitted together ever so slightly. She said to Wen Leyang in a low voice, “First Brother Xia’s expression... he knows the fat man!”
The skinny man Mo Baiyi was slightly puzzled. He asked his brother, “Everyone here is looking at us...”
The fat man shook his head, “This man’s eyes are the brightest, he’s different from the others...” The fat man had not finished when the skinny man suddenly erupted in a crisp cheer. He did not seem to have exerted much force, but his person already appeared before First Brother Xia like a phantom. Two of his fingers were like hooks as they gouged First Brother Xia’s eyes out!
The skinny man’s expression was neither savage nor fierce, there was only a dense curiosity. In Fei Fei’s eyes, the skinny man who was gouging the man’s eyes out truly did not have an ounce of evil intent. He only wanted to understand why First Brother Xia’s eyes were brighter than the others.
As the leader of one of the Five Blessings, First Brother Xia’s cultivation base was naturally not weak. However, when the skinny man Mo Baiyi’s fingers pressed onto his eyeballs, he did not even have the time to blink. Just when First Brother Xia’s heart gone cold as he was sure he would die this time, a series of shouts sounded consecutively! The golden monkey Qian Ren was as quick as lightning. Although his stature was small, but he was like a great mountain as he firmly shielded First Brother Xia!
The skinny man had only thought of gouging the man’s eyes out, he did not guard himself against the golden monkey. Caught off his guard, he was hit by the torrent that was Qian Ren’s punches and kicks. He wailed and crashed heavily back beside his brother.
The elites on Wen Leyang’s side were already prepared for action. When they saw that the other party had attacked, they made their moves almost at once. They readied themselves for a thunderous attack, but nobody had expected that the Chaos arbiter whose cultivation base was not inferior than Rust, Shudou and the others would be greatly injured just like that as he fell back.
The people of the line of Chaos, from the fat man to the thousand monsters were fixed to the ground. They had no intention of making any moves.
The skinny man spat out big mouthfuls of blood, but his gaze was extremely joyous. He pulled strongly on the fat man’s pants, “This is truly a great monkey immortal, his abilities are amazing!” As he said this, he burst into laughter. He only laughed twice when his chest let out muffled crackles. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with some flesh and died just like that!
The golden monkey’s punches were extremely powerful. It was nothing strange for him to kill a peerless cultivator after a round of heavy attacks. Speaking of the toughness of their bodies alone, the skinny man was much weaker than the metal element Rust, but what truly left the others dumbstruck was, when the skinny man was attacked by the golden monkey, he truly did not guarded against it!
The multitudes of cultivators on Goddess Peak had shock written all over their faces.
Chang Li’s Demon Blades, little supreme leader Liu Zheng’s sword formation, little stutter Hope Voice’s Merciful Buddha... Various kinds of powerful magical powers and magic weapons froze in midair. They aimed steadily at the descendants of the line of Heaven’s cone nail and the monsters from Shiwan Mountain.
The fat man Mo Yibai seemed to not have noticed the death of his own brother. His gaze was filled with extreme excitement. He lifted his head and looked like a kid watching festive lanterns. He looked with shock and joy at the various magical powers and magic weapons which bore down on him. He guffawed and nodded forcefully, “Nice, nice! Looks like this trip to Mount Hua isn’t in vain!”
The golden monkey turned and glanced at Chang Li with puzzlement. Chang Li’s expression was no different from his. She shouted at the fat man who was counting the magic weapons, “Hey, your skinny brother is dead!” After she finished, she paused. Then, she pointed at Qian Ren, “He was beaten to death by the monkey!”
The fat man was stunned. He lowered his head and kicked the skinny man in the head. He muttered with some surprise, “He’s dead, just like that?” then, he seemed to have thought of something important as he suddenly stared at the golden monkey, “You’re really this powerful!”
The golden monkey thought that the fat man wanted to risk his life. He lowered his stance slightly in preparation to pounce. However, when the other party uttered such a brainless speech, he was momentarily stunned.
At this moment, Fei Fei suddenly opened her mouth from Wen Leyang’s side, “Mo Yibai, why did you come to Mount Hua?”
Mo Yibai squatted down. He was trying hard to pry his brother’s eyelids open, as ig he was worried that the skinny man could rest easy. He answered casually, “To play!”
Fei Fei continued to question closely, “What’re you going to play? Tell me, I’ll see if it’s fun to play with.”
The fat man did not even life his head, his expression was focused. In his eyes, the sharp blade which hung above his head was far less important than his brother not being able to rest in peace. When he heard Fei Fei’s words, he answered simply, “I want to see who’s stronger!” After he finished, he added after a brief moment’s pause, “The cultivators under the heavens are all here!”
Shiwan Mountain was filled with poor swamps and barren grasslands, it was the last place to have broken free of Chaos. Ever since primordial times, violent savages and countless monsters have gathered there. There were even rumors that the some of the monsters were not inferior to Xiang Liu.
However, that was primordial times. Even if such legendary monsters still existed, they could not possibly be controlled by the Chaos brothers anymore.
Fei Fei gave an ‘oh’. She pointed at the large group of monsters in front of her, “These things... are all powerful? You look like you’re afraid that we’ll fight.”
The fat man still lowered his head, he grunted absent-mindedly...
The skinny man with profound cultivation base was killed by the monkey just like that, the fat man was fixed on making the dead man open his eyes; the six men of the Chaos sect stood in pairs, none of them seemed moved by the death of one of their masters; the thousand monsters maintained their flattery smiles... Everything was so unbelievable. Fei Fei suddenly felt a chill that travelled up from the base of her spine up to her skull.
Chang Li was also at a loss as to what the fat man wanted to play with. These monsters looked savage, but in her eyes, their powers were not much different from a squirrel.
The golden monkey Qian Ren spat and scolded angrily, “You gaslighting thing!” His voice barely faded when his body swayed. He was already in front of the fat man. He raised a fist and punched him fiercely!
This time, the people of the Chaos sect who had been as still as a tree finally moved!
The fat man squalled. He stooped down to carry the body of the skinny man as he turned and ran. At the same time, his six subordinates released their rolling mist of intertwining black and white. They attacked the monkey at once. The thousand monsters also howled together. With a buzz, they pounced towards Qian Ren!
Maybe it was because the skinny man’s death was too unbelievable, when both parties struck, almost everyone sighed with relief from the bottom of their hearts. Trickeries are meaningless in the face of absolute power. No matter what kinds of tricks the descendants of Chaos cone nail had up their sleeves, they could do no harm as long as they’re dead.
Chang Li laughed sharply. She flipped her wrist and a black Demon Blade materialized from thin air. One turned into three, three turned into nine... In the blink of an eye, the howl of the Demon Blades filled the mountaintop. They blocked the sky as they flew towards the monsters in a frenzied slaughter!
When Chang Li made her move, the old and little rabbit demon immediately activated their magical powers. The group of Great Mercy Temple elites behind them also threw out their magic weapons. After a slight hesitation, Liu Zheng made the sword-controlling gesture with his hand. Ten thousand Kunlun long swords condensed in midair. They looked intently upon the battle on the mountaintop. They would rain down at the first sign of trouble.
The six men of Chaos sect could not hold the monkey up. The moment they went heads to heads, two of them were crushed by the monkey. The monsters too could not withstand the magic weapons of Chang Li and Great Mercy Temple. The stench of blood sprayed everywhere. The initially silent and peculiar mountaintop was suddenly turned into a battlefield where blood and flesh flew. Chang Li’s Demon Blades broke the skies, they went after the fat man Mo Yibai at full strength!
The fat man’s body was also enshrouded in dense rolling mist, but he was in no hurry to fight with his life. He only managed to protect himself under Chang Li’s hunt. When he saw that carrying a person hindered him, he exerted force with his hands and twisted the head of the skinny man’s corpse from its body with a loud crack!
Then, the fat man discarded the body, he only kept the head of the skinny man. His face still wore a focused expression. He tried hard to pry open the eyelids of the skinny man...
Wen Leyang did not make his move. Cone Nail and the golden monkey steadily had the upper hand. These descendants of Chaos cone nail had not chance to flip the tables.
Cone Nail leaned on his chest. Ever since she knew the experience of her past life, her spirits were greatly shaken. The heavenly water spirit had seized this opportunity to activate itself. She also activated her entire life vitality force in her body to aid the heavenly water spirit attack the seal deep within her primordial spirit. Now, Cone Nail did not have an ounce of energy left, she was even weaker than Fei Fei.
The rogue cultivators had backed away. They did not retreat, nor did they make a move. They looked at the battle which still befuddled them. Everyone had the same feelings, the Chaos disciples had not ascended the mountain to play, they were here to give away their lives...
Fei Fei turned and looked at Bao Ri who was still in Wen Buzuo’s hands, “These descendants of Chaos cone nail, what are they playing at?”
Bao Ri’s expression was even more puzzled than Fei Fei’s. He first smiled bitterly and shook his head, then he said with contempt, “Who cares what they’re playing at? If we killed every single one of them, we can rest assured that there’ll be no more tricks!”
Chang Li was of the same thought. Ever since she knew that the line of Chaos cone nail had undertaken unforgivable evil deeds, she had the intention to kill them. Now, she was playing the heroine with all her heart. She completely forgotten about the bad thing of breaking the ice cone nail which she had done. It was also worse than the evil deeds which the generations of Chaos cone nail ancestors and descendants have ever done...
This battle was completely one-sided, it could not even be called a battle, it was a massacre.
If the skinny man had not died, the Shiwan Mountain disciples might still be able to put up a final fling, but now the skinny man had died. The fat man had only been on the run since just now. The golden monkey was extremely hateful of the cruelty of the men of the Chaos sect, he hated Kong Nuer’s subordinates even more. He held nothing back with his attacks. His figure which flitted here and there like the wind was akin to a golden butcher’s knife. At every spot which it went, there was only a swamp of broken limbs, minced flesh and fresh blood!
Finally, at dusk, the golden monkey Qian Ren let out a shrill laugh. He broke the neck of the last monster behind him. With a whistle, he tossed it at the teetering fat man!
The fat man had used all his strength, but he was not Chang Li’s opponent. Also, he was on the receiving side of the punches and he was now like an arrow at the end of its flight. He could no longer dodge the monster’s skull tossed over by the golden monkey. With a muffled bang, the monster’s skull collided fiercely with the skinny man’s head within his embrace. Then, blood sprayed everywhere as the two heads crushed each other! The fat man’s body also swayed. He crashed onto the ground and panted heavily. There was no much pain on his expression, just a bit of helplessness.
The line of Chaos cone nail did not regard other people as human beings. At the same time, they did not regard themselves as humans either. They were singularities of the world, they should not have been born!
At the moment the fat man sat on the ground, four Demon Blades appeared like phantoms and aimed precisely at his limbs! The golden monkey and Chang Li exchanged glances. Up until now, no accident has occurred.
The golden monkey’s footsteps were loud. He walked up to the fat man as he stooped to look at the fat man’s face. He asked with a low voice, “What are you guys up to coming up the mountain!? Also... why were you trying to pry open his eyes?”
Qian Ren spoke while his head was lowered. A trace of sparkling saliva flowed out from his mouth. It tore, extended and finally with a plop, it fell onto the fat man’s face...
This grossed the hell out of Chang Li who just came over. Qian Ren blushed. He hastily wiped his mouth and smiled embarrassedly at Chang Li, “Monkey face... It does that whenever I lower my head...”
The fat man opened his mouth. It was indistinguishable whether he was crying or smiling, but his eyes were like Qian Ren’s saliva, they sparkled, “A monkey salivates when it lowers its head?”
Qian Ren lifted his head to scold him, “Stop talking nonsense, answer me!”
Anyone could see that the fat man was not afraid of death. Even under the Demon Blades’ attacks just now, he did not escape down the mountain, he only went in circles on the mountain, as if he must pry open the eyes of the skinny man before his death.
Nobody said a word. Everyone waited silently for his reply. At this moment, a series of mumbling curses and heavy footsteps sounded. Xiao Sha’s face was covered in dirt, he was so tired that his eyes were lifeless. He finally reached Goddess Peak.
The fat man Mo Yibai laid on the ground. He lifted his head strenuously to look behind him. At the same time, he cheered and shouted at Xiao Sha, “It’s you, the one under the mountain! How did you hide yourself?” As he said this, his fat body wriggled slightly. The Demon Blades that watched him suddenly released glaring flowing lights as they firmly subdued his mannerism!
The fat man could not break free. He mumbled and sighed, “We’ll know after we tear it apart!”
Xiao Sha had no idea what was happening in front of him, however, he had a sharp intuition. He took great strides up to the fat man and smiled, “If you answer all their questions honestly, I’ll teach you, be a good boy... Eh, there’s spit on your face.”
The fat man laughed as he turned to look at the monkey, “I have a deal with Mo Yibai. Whoever dies first, the other would pry open his eyes and let him see.”
“See what?”
“You guys knew that you’re going to die?”
Qian Ren and Chang Li asked almost at the same time. The fat man nodded and answered matter-of-factly, “Of course we’ll die.” As he said this, the fat man took an interrupted breath, “Our ancestor had nailed himself on the island. Ever since then, each generation of ours had a slight frown. Although there are plenty of fun things to do under the heavens, but we can’t do anything big. Among our ancestors, there were those who broke Yellow River’s great dam, some burned Qinling Mountain’s dragon vein, the point is they were all boring. When it came to us brothers, we truly had no better ideas.”
Fei Fei scrutinized the fat man’s face. The gradually thickening excitement seemed like an expectation of the opening of a great play. Her professional eyesight was not even needed for this judgement, even Xiaowu could tell.
When Mo Yibai mentioned his true objective for his venture onto Mount Hua. He had forgotten to ask how did Xiao Sha hide from his telegnosis ability, “Fifty days ago, we received an oracle from the old man’s spiritual crane, haha! Bao Ri, you guys had also come to Mount Hua because of the spiritual crane oracle, right?”
Bao Ri grunted but said nothing.
Mo Yibai continued to laugh in a sharp voice, “I didn’t think that Chang Li would be this powerful. Even the five of you together won’t be a match for her!” Then, he nodded towards Chang Li, “You’re truly powerful, but... just the two of you can’t surely win against the five of them, right?”
Bao Ri’s old face flushed red. He could not help but lifted his head. He looked at the great mountain which floated at one corner of the sky. The devil fetus rock tower was beside the setting sun. It looked savage and strange, its bearing was cold.
Xiao Sha chuckled and gave the fat man a kick, “You’ve gone way off topic, no?”
The fat man was indifferent, he even used Xiao Sha’s foot to scratch his head before he continued, “The old man delivered a oracle via a spiritual crane and wanted us to catch the cat demon. What good is the cat demon? We had so many ancestors, they had even captured fox demons, tree demons, pig demons, dog demons, and bastard demons, let alone a cat demon! But, the old man’s magic circle which came with the spiritual crane oracle gave us an interesting idea, the greatest idea under the heavens!”
His voice barely faded when old man Bao Ri’s face was full of shock. He asked in a hoarse, sharp voice, “You... can see through the immortal master teacher’s magic circle? The magic circle... to subdue the cat?”
The fat man was startled. Then, his face filled with satisfaction. It was not the kind of a scoundrel achieving his ambitions or a determined effort at his deathbed, but it was a genuine one which was wrapped in endless happiness. It was a satisfaction of a child who had done a good deed and was showing off to the adults, “You are all within the world’s five elements. That won’t do. You can’t see through the old man’s magic circle like that. You also don’t have that many subordinates to use it on, of course you can’t guess what’s so fun here!” As he said this, he made strange laughing sounds from the depths of his throat, “The magic circle which he passed to us is the Great Guiding Formation!”
Little supreme leader Liu Zheng’s brows leapt as he asked Wen Leyang in a low voice, “Do you still remember in Shanghai Painting Town? Taoist priest San Wei’s split body, the nine Corpse Nails, guiding the Yin Army!”
Wen Leyang’s brain buzzed. Even if he forgotten his own name, he could never forget the Yin Army whose fluttering banners blocked the sun with their lame horses and ragged swords.
The fat man could not even pant consecutively, but his ears were as sharp as ever. He curved his neck strenuously as he nodded towards Liu Zheng, “That sounds right. It’s something like that. The nine Heaven’s cone nails on Black and White Island guided the world’s spiritual primordial energy and the energy of the universe to subdue Xiang Liu.”
Liu Zheng’s brows furrowed as he continued with a low voice, “Taoist priest San Wei had reversed the demon-subduing great formation and used nine Corpse Nails to guide the Yin Army from the nether lands.”
The fat man panted as he smiled, “This magic circle is similar to that. It uses nine hundred and ninety-nine cultivators to guide the energy from outside the domain. However, we ourselves have not understood this either, from where did the energy which this formation guided comes from. We don’t know, after it takes shape, whether it would be Heaven’s Army, Ghost Generals, the eight hundred arhats of the western paradise of Sukhavati’s buddha, or the Dragon King’s shrimp army and crab generals, hahaha!”
Chang Li pouted. Even if the formation guided an ET here, she could not have cared less. Her face regained her usual delicate and bright smile, “You’ve activated this formation?”
The fat man nodded jubilantly, “After Mo Baiyi died, I have severed my own heart veins. I’m relying on my last breath of life vitality. When I die, the great formation will activate. Rest easy everyone...”
He had severed his own heart meridians and destroyed his own primordial spirit. Even if Daode Tianzun himself came down to Earth, he could not be saved. If the fat man wanted a quick death, he had only need to spit out his final breath.
However, Cone Nail put on a bitter smile. She shut her eyes and focused her mind for a brief moment. She slowly gathered her life vitality which attacked the primordial spirit seal with the heavenly water spirit. Then, she stood up straight and stood shoulder to shoulder with Chang Li, “I’ll help you fight this battle.”
Guo Huan also laughed rigidly from midair, “Who cares what he’s conjuring up. Wen Leyang need only throw this big mountain at him!”
The golden monkey also smiled coldly. He subconsciously flexed his wrists, “Fat man, hurry up and die. I only hope that Kong Nuer will come himself. I’m not afraid of some magic circle he left behind.”
Wen Leyang’s heart was much more at ease. Kong Nuer had no idea that Chang Li, Cone Nail, Qian Ren and Guo Huan had already gathered together. He himself even had even the great mountain and giant sword, these two treasures. With a powerful lineup like this, they had nothing to fear.
The fat man held onto his final breath. He babbled to finish explaining about the thing that he was so satisfied about, “Our Mo family is the master of Shiwan Mountain. We don’t have any cultivators under us, but we have a thousand monsters gifted with natural endowments...”
He had not finished when Bao Ri shook his head with a strange expression. It was uncertain if he was disappointed or comforted, “Nonsense! How can a cultivator’s life vitality be compared to a monster’s endowments? If you used monsters, you can’t possibly activate the immortal master teacher’s formation spell!”
The fat man nodded in all apparent seriousness, “Of course we can’t activate it directly. Why do you think that we were almost late?”
Bao Ri swallowed. His eyes could not help but bulge. Then, he shook his head with a smile, “Impossible... Impossible. With you guys, how could you alter the immortal master teacher’s formation spell!?”
The fat man broke into laughter. Suddenly, a never before seen heroism shown between his eyes, “Why is it impossible? Our Shiwan Mountain Chaos Mo sect is already greater than the likes of you who are in the world’s five elements! The heaven which you guys think so highly about is not even a fart in my eyes! You guys cultivate in Heaven’s path to turn yourselves into heaven, while we cultivate in breaking! If Chaos is not broken, how would the world come to be? We gave away our lives, all to break the buckles which locked heaven’s will within the formation spell. The magic circle which must be activated using nine hundred and ninety-nine cultivators, I can do the same by using a thousand and one Chaos disciples’ lives! Not only that, Chaos is the ancestor of all force, from our calculations, if the magic circle is activated now, its powers must at least be twice as strong!”
“That’s why the stronger you guys are, the happier I am. I could not even bring myself to kill a single one of you.” The fat man drew half a breath. He desperately squeezed out a final laugh from his throat, “This is the fun part that we thought about. We want to see if the gathered cultivators under the heavens are stronger or if the divine soldiers and ghost generals summoned by the old man’s altered formation magic is stronger!”
With the fat man’s final breath dispersing lifelessly, sharp rays of light suddenly rose from the mangled remains of the monsters which covered Goddess Peak. The lights shot up towards the sky like fireworks. Eventually they dispersed in the distance. Then, the darkening sky at the end of dusk suddenly rolled into layers of clouds which looked like fish scales...
Little Chi Maojiu looked up at the strange phenomenon in the sky. Layers of flowing lights rolled continuously in his eyes. He smiled bitterly and cursed, “The line of Chaos is evil!” He could not comprehend the reason for which the fat and skinny brothers threw away their lives no matter what.
Cone Nail unexpectedly smiled at Chang Li. She hugged her arm, “This pair of foolish brothers are like the Pickle Jar!”
Tuo Xie had threw caution to the wind for Chang Li, the Mo brothers had threw away their lives for fun; in Tuo Xie’s eyes, the line of Chaos”fun’ was absurd, but in the hearts of Mo Yibai and Mo Baiyi, the cat demon Chang Li was no more valuable than a dog’s fart!
Chang Li pouted her small mouth. She huffed softly, “The cultivators want to blend into Heaven’s path, the monks want to see buddha, the mortals want riches and fame, Cone Nail want to experience what it is to be a human, the monkey wants to get his revenge, so the Chaos bastards want to have the time of their lives!”
Cone Nail broke into laughter, “Then Chang Li wants to trouble Pickle Jar, the Pickle Jar wants even more to be enemies with the whole world for the cat demon’s sake, and the old and little fools of the Wen family would only help their friends and not reason!” After she finished, she threw a soft glance at Wen Leyang, “To no care about death or the world for a thing, that is Utmost. What about you, what is your Utmost?”
Wen Leyang chuckled, “Peace and happiness, that’s the best.” After he finished, he paused before he added, “The peace and happiness of you guys!”
Cone Nail pouted and made a cute disdainful face, “You’re still siding with your acquaintances rather than reason!”
At this moment, on the North, South, East and West, the four corners of the skies gave off blazing lights. The formation spell has been completed, but it was uncertain what had appeared in the sky. Old priest Ji Fei leapt suddenly and floated up to the giant rock. He yelled in a low voice at the ten thousand cultivators on Goddess Peak who were looking up at the sky with mouths agape, “The vile thief had reversed the elements and casted the spell to guide the great demons into the realms of man. All you cultivators, prove your worth today!”
The old priest’s voice was like rolling thunder. It shocked the stunned rogue cultivators back to their senses. Then, with a roar, the various immortals showed their prowess. They were like frenzied ducks as they ran down the mountain in all directions...
Lord Gongye who had some relations with the Wen family had wanted to say something to ease the situation, “Us rogue cultivators are only fixated on cultivating, we have never bothered with anything else...” Halfway through his speech, he was pulled away by the great army which shot past him...
