The Magus Era

The Dark Sun was with the power of destroying and devouring.

In the power system of the non-humankind, both the power of destroying and the power of devouring were the top-grade, most terrifying types of power. Therefore, Dark Sun people would either inherit the power of destroying or the power of devouring. But only the ones gifted especially by the Dark Sun could attain both types of these greatest powers.

Yemo Shanye was a perfectly talented one.

The immeasurably great power possessed by Gong Gong Wuyou and Yi Shen were devalued by the erect eye in between Yemo Shanye’s eyebrows. The power transformed by her spirit magic eye became the destructive Dark Sun thunder and was released.

Yemo Shanye herself wasn’t too powerful, but she absorbed the powers of Gong Gong Wuyou and Yi Shen, then launched a full-power attack on them with their own powers.

Those extremely thin thunderbolts looked like long needles, dim and silent, and seemed to be powerless. However, both Yi Shen and Gong Gong Wuyou were badly frightened, as if they had just seen a ghost. The protective treasures worn by them burst with dazzling light together, while countless fist-sized spell symbols flew out from those treasures, hovering around them. They transformed into thick layers of protective magic screens and shielded them.

A dark, cold, emotionless feeling of destruction enveloped Gong Gong Wuyou and Yi Shen.

The black thunderbolts gently pointed on those protective light screens and generated tens of explosive noises in a row while shattering those magic light screens one after another. The Dark Sun thunderbolts tore all of Gong Gong Wuyou and Yi Shen’ outer defenses apart and struck on their bodies, squeezing loud howls out of their mouths along with blood.

Yi Shen had a fist-sized hole opened in his chest. The inner surface of his wound was as smooth as a mirror, while a layer of dark lightning bolts lingered in the wound, sizzling without an end while devouring his blood and flesh.

Yi Shen was a peak-level Divine Magus, and had eighty-one stars inside his bodies. Furthermore, every single star had been cultivated to its limit. His body was incredibly strong, that any ordinary physical attack couldn’t possibly do any harm to his body. However, under the effect of the Dark Sun thunder, his body had been easily ripped open like paper, and the lingering thunderbolts had still been hurting his body, bringing him even greater damage.

Gong Gong Wuyou was injured even more seriously. A big half of his chest had gone missing, and only a small half of broken spine barely had his body connected in whole. Blood gushed out of his body, and was being devoured by the dark thunderbolts that lingered around his body.

Gong Gong Wuyou’s face had turned deathly pale because of the pain. He staggered backward while staring at Yemo Shanye in an indescribable fear, as if she was the fiercest ghost in the world. He was a descendant of a God, he was the prince of Gong Gong Family. Nevertheless, God-kind beings valued the abilities of controlling natural powers more than physical strength. They could turn oceans upside-down, could move stars away from the tracks, but they never paid great attentions on cultivating their physical bodies, except for a few of them, who were known for great strengths, like Kua E and his brothers.

Therefore, Gong Gong Wuyou’s body was far less strong than Yi Shen. As a consequence, he was injured much more severely than Yi Shen.

Even worse, human beings had independent bodies and souls, so harming the body of a human being could only bring a slight, and even no harm to his or her soul. Unlike human beings, the soul and body of a God-kind being were a unity. That meant, Gong Gong Wuyou’s soul suffered the same injury when his body was wounded. The sense of power released from his body weakened quickly and speedily, as a big half of Gong Gong Wuyou’s chest had been blown away. Before, compared with Yi Shen, Gong Gong Wuyou was at a much higher level. But now, judging by the declining sense of power releasing from his body, he was no better than Yi Shen anymore.

Gong Gong Wuyou had taken a sun and moon blood pill, because of which, he had already been standing on a higher starting point. As long as he was willing to make that final step, he would reach the level of Supreme Magus, and would become extraordinary. Nevertheless, Yemo Shane’s Dark Sun thunder destroyed a small half of his body, and also tore apart a small half of his soul. His power and his cultivation were both declined largely. This meant that the sun and moon blood pill, which was won by Gong Gong from Dishi Cha, was wasted by Gong Gong Wuyou.

”Bitch!”

Gong Gong Wuyou suffered a great heartache. While staggering backward, he pointed his finger at Yemo Shanye. He wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. He didn’t know what to say but curse her with the worst language he knew.

A sun and moon blood pill, that was a supreme, powerful magic medicine, that human beings could never, ever make. Gong Gong Wuyou took quite a risk to attain the pill from Dishi Cha, and Gong Gong Wuyou took the pill. He had a marvelous feeling, which was given by the amazing improvement delivered by the pill, that made him feel like he was the noblest being in the world, and everyone else was treading under his feet. But, he had only enjoyed this feeling for a few days before he was struck back to where he was before by Yemo Shanye’s Dark Sun thunder!

Heartache, the great heartache made Gong Gong Wuyou’s face turn black, and made blood veins bulge from his forehead, making him abruptly begin crying loudly.

Yi Shen was stepping back too. He had a weird smile on that stiff face of his while casting a quick and complicated glance at Gong Gong Wuyou.

Feng Xing raised his head as quickly as he could. He saw the smile on Yi Shen’s face. It seemed that Yi Shen was somehow glad to see Gong Gong Wuyou was injured badly, was that true?

”Rubbish friends!” Feng Xing appropriately defined the relationship between Gong Gong Wuyou and Yi Shen.

Taking a deep breath, Feng Xing had a faint light mist stream flash across his body. Next, the fierce outer force that lingered inside and around his body was destroyed by a strong force. Then, his great life-force was boosted up and completely healed his wounds within a second.

Feng Xing leaped up, bit his tongue tip broken and spat a mouthful of cyan and purple colored spirit blood, onto his bow. He abruptly pulled the longbow open, as a fierce gust of wind instantly rose from the ground. The strong wind condensed on his bowstring, transforming into an especially long arrow, within the span of a breath.

”Yi Shen, back then, you killed my whole family!” growled Feng Xing while his longbow let out a thunder-like roar. The air in front of him blasted and wrapped the cyan arrow, which dazzled with an eye-piercing light. In almost the same moment when the arrow was released from the bowstring, it landed on Yi Shen’s body, who now didn’t have any protective treasures anymore.

Yi Shen roared out. He boosted all of his power and tried to dodge.

However, the arrow came too fast, without leaving him any time or space to dodge. He could do nothing but watch the arrow pierce into his chest. His body that belonged to a peak-level Divine Magus didn’t manage to stop that arrow from puncturing it. Again, a hole was opened on his body.

A cyan-colored spell symbol exploded on the arrow. Countless, extremely thin and sharp streams of air burst inside Yi Shen’s body, that made him howl in pain. His internal organs, blood veins and meridians were all torn apart, and his body had almost become a griddle.

”Die!” Yi Shen forced himself to suppress the pain while raising his long bow.

Yi Shen’s bow was called ‘dragon-slaying bow’. It was also a great treasure of Ten Sun Country. Ten Sun Country people’ ancestors once killed a hundred dragons with the bow.

However, Yemo Shanye had her erect eye firmly locked on Gong Gong Wuyou, while quickly extracting the great power surging out from his wounds.

Silently, another Dark Sun thunderbolt dazzled out of her erect eye and struck on the dragon-slaying bow.

Followed by a thunderous bang, the lower end of the bow was struck into pieces, and Yi Shen’s left hand was blown up entirely.
