Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Eh?”

In one of the side halls, Zhan Wushuang was facing one of the stone monuments while trying to comprehend it. He also felt the shocking killing aura and instinctively backed out of the side hall to realize that the main hall was filled with people. Everyone who was trying to comprehend the stone monuments had exited from the side halls. The guards standing outside had come in, too; and all of them looked at one of the side halls.

“Everyone, relax. There is no enemy attack! It is just someone who moved the martial dao intent on the stone monument.”

A voice suddenly echoed. The voice wasn’t loud, but it was right by the ears of everyone. Two of the guards at the main hall gasped: “It’s the Principal!”

“Zhuge Liuyun?”

Zhan Wushuang’s eyes were bursting with light. Even this mysterious principal who only appeared as and when he like was alerted? He was one of the top ten absolute combatants of the continent! Martial dao intent? Could someone have comprehended one of the Divine Monuments?

“Swish!”

Countess people flew over from the North Courtyard. Most of the mentors in the college got alarmed. The nearby cadets got attracted and surged here, but they got obstructed by the guards at the gate.

“Greetings to the seven Vice Principals and all the Mentors!”

A wave of greeting could be heard echoing from the outside as about 40 individuals swam in like the fish. Zhan Wushuang swept his look and saw that it was all the mentors of the college. The ones taking the lead were naturally the seven Vice Principals.

“Everyone, get out! The Hall of Divine Monument is temporarily closed.”

A silver-haired old woman who held onto crutches suddenly spoke. Zhan Wushuang and the others could only embarrassedly walk out while the guards quickly shut the gates to the Hall of Divine Monument. More than 40 individuals walked quietly towards the side hall but stood still at the entrance. All their eyes were locked onto Jiang Yi who was inside.

“Who is this cadet? Does anyone know him?”

It was apparent that this old woman had an extremely high-leveled status. She swept her eyes at Jiang Yi who was standing still and asked softly.

“He is the one?”

A beautiful lady dressed in white robes gasped. The silver-haired old woman immediately looked at her and asked, “Ruoxue, do you know this cadet?”

This white-robed lady was precisely the famed ice mountain beauty, Su Ruoxue. She nodded and replied, “Principal Qi. His name is Jiang Yi and is one of the Write-In Cadets from this year’s enrollment. His surface strength is only at the fifth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm, but his true combat strength is already at the first or second stage of the Purple Mansion Realm. That’s right... those killers at the foot of the mountain today was killed by him. Vice Principal Liu should know of it, too.”

Standing by the side, one of the refined middle-aged men nodded. “Yes. He originally didn’t have any accumulated points, and the college compensated him with 500 points. Who knew that he would use these points to enter the Hall of Divine Monument... and even touch the martial dao intent within the stone monument?”

The silver-haired old woman, Principal Qi, glanced at Jiang Yi and asked with suspicion, “A surface strength at the fifth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm? Ruoxue, are you sure his overall combat strength is at the Purple Mansion Realm?”

“Yes! Principal Qi!”

Su Ruoxue nodded. “He once killed dozens of people back at the Skyplume City. He even took out a martial artist who was at the first stage of Purple Mansion Realm. Oh right, among the assassins today, there was one martial artist who was at the first stage of the Purple Mansion Realm!”

“Then this kid must be a monstrous prodigy!”

Principal Qi’s eyes let out a trace of a blaze as she looked at Jiang Yi. “This Heaven Monarch of Massacre has abnormally strong martial dao intent. If this cadet can truly comprehend it, then our college could very well produce yet another generational prodigy. He might have touched the martial dao intent within the Divine Monument, but he might not be able to comprehend it. It would have to depend on his instincts and luck now.”

...

It was complete chaos on the outside, and Jiang Yi didn’t know what was happening. He didn’t even know where he was at the moment.

When he looked at the stone monument after he channeled the black essence force to enhance his vision, there was a sudden flash of red light. The image before his eyes was altered, and the statue between the two stone monuments disappeared, too. He felt as though he arrived at a weird place.

It was a wilderness, and the surroundings were nothing but desolation. There was no one here, and he couldn’t even see the ends of the wilderness with his eyes. As Jiang Yi was in a bewildered state, he suddenly heard the sound of speeding war chariots from a distance. The sound of galloping horses gradually grew louder and louder—even the ground began to shake. On the left horizon in Jiang Yi’s vision, a black line appeared; and soon, it became a black cloud. The black substance expanded and took up Jiang Yi’s entire vision.

Dear lord. So many soldiers. There must be millions...

Jiang Yi looked as his flesh and heart were thumping; he felt as though his breathing had stopped. The imposing presence of this fearsome army was so oppressive—that it left an intense impact on the spirit. The towering killing aura was like a huge mountain pressuring onto him, causing his blood to boil and his body to lose all senses.

It was lucky that the millions of soldiers went past him and didn’t seem to have spotted him. Was this just an illusion? It wasn’t real?

“Swish!”

As Jiang Yi had this heart of doubt, a figure suddenly shot out from his right. That individual rushed fearlessly towards the army of millions.

Heaven Monarch of Massacre?

Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. That individual had a head of white hair, wore blood-colored battle armor, and wielded a blood-colored halberd. If it was not the Heaven Monarch of Massacre, who could it be? But his eyes weren’t blood-colored like on the statue; it was black instead.

“Kill him!”

The entire army drew their black-colored battle saber and roared in unison. Their voices pierced all the rocks and even the clouds in the sky. It was so stunning that Jiang Yi almost got paralyzed and pushed to the ground. That dense killing aura was like the winter rain that chilled into one’s bones.

“Die!”

A voice that was as cold as a ten-thousand-year glacier echoed. This voice didn’t sound loud, but it felt as though it covered the unified roar of the million-strong army. The Heaven Monarch of Massacre stood still in front of the army and raised his halberd high. His white hair moved even without the wind, and his black eyes gradually turned red and eventually completely blood red. His blood-colored halberd shone with red light, and a horrific killing aura was released from his body. The instant that the killing aura that appeared seemingly made the entire wilderness stop in time.

“Clang!”

Jiang Yi couldn’t withstand any longer: his body went limp and fell. He fearfully looked at that blood-colored figure as his heart was filled with a shock that he had never felt before. How was it possible for a killing aura from a single individual to triumph against the killing aura from a million-strong army?

“Clang!””Boom!”

Countless war horses fell to the ground at the same time. A whole batch of soldiers was flung off their horses. Every one of them had this mix of fear and panic in their eyes. A formation from an army that was numbered at a million was easily broken by the killing aura of a single individual.

“If the human dao is unjust, it shall be answered with a million corpses! If the heaven dao is unjust, I shall massacre everything under the heavens!”

As the Heaven Monarch of Massacre roared, he turned into a sharp arrow and shot ahead. His halberd suddenly emitted a qi wave that was a few-hundred-feet high. It accompanied his halberd and cut through the soldiers like straws. Countless heads and limbs were severed as fresh blood danced in the sky, turning the wilderness into a purgatory.

Is he a human or god? He merely used his killing aura to suppress a million soldiers, causing them to fall without a trace of resistance? Is this something a human can do?

Jiang Yi was completely stunned; his eyes began to suddenly glow red, too. His mind recalled the scene back at the Western Hills of the Skyplume City. His heart instantly surged with an impulsive killing intent, which was triggered by the scene in front of him now and had resonated with it.

“Bang!”

In just a short period of time, no one was left standing in the million-strong army. Even the war horses were turned into mince. The entire scene was so shocking that it made people nauseous. Those that were frail at heart would probably go insane after seeing this gruesome scene.

Luckily, Jiang Yi’s mind was filled with the scene of the Western Hills at the moment. When he woke up, the scene before his eyes gradually vanished. He was only able to see that pair of bloodshot eyes that seemed to look through everything—even into his soul.

“Hu-Hu...”

The vision in his eyes became to alter and went back to the interior of the Hall of Divine Monument. He let out a long breath after shouldering the huge burden. It felt as though his entire strength left his body as he knelt and panted non-stop. His forehead was dripping with sweat while his mind still recalled the extremely horrific scene—and those blood red eyes that were brimming with killing aura that rushed to the sky.
