Chapter 963: Iron of Hades

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Deep inside the black sea, Nan Gong Huai Yu burned his own cultivation and imploded his enlivener in an attempt to take Ling Xian down with him.

If this was before, Ling Xian would have no way to resist this attack. But things are different now. His Qi was now stronger than Nan Gong Huai Yu’s and he had the six powerful transformative qualities. Naturally he blocked it.

Then, Nan Gong Huai Yu’s body turned into a swirl of bloody fog and was drowned by sea water.

Everyone widened their eyes at this. They felt coldness shoot up their brain and felt pain all over.

“Dead… the strongest Heaven’s Favorite from Huang Zhou had died in battle!”

“Unbelievable. Just who is this person? Even Nan Gong Huai Yu could not win against him?”

“This is hard to believe. Nan Gong Huai Yu imploded his own enlivener in the end, yet he was defeated. Just how powerful is the man?”

Everyone chimed in. Their words were full of shock.

Defeating Nan Gong Huai Yu was no big deal. But for him to block an implosion… just how powerful of a capability was needed for this?

Why wouldn’t everyone be in disbelief!

“It’s over. I wonder if I will ever encounter the other three.”

Ling Xian shook his head, remembering the Heaven’s Favorites from the days before made him smile.

“Yes, you after transformation is now at the extreme of the original level.” Huang Jiu Ge’s eyes shone with color.”

“Yes. The Nirvana Fountain is truly a holy place.” Ling Xian grinned, very satisfied at his current capability.

If this was before, Nan Gong Huai Yu could easily threaten his life. Any little carelessness would result in his own death.

But now, Nan Gong Huai Yu doesn’t pose any threat to him. Their differences are far too big, basically mud and cloud. Those two shouldn’t even be compared against each other.

“It’s because you are naturally talented with a strong foundation. Or else you wouldn’t have achieved all this.” Huang Jiu Ge smiled brightly, her eyes shone with admiration.

“You aren’t so bad yourself right now. Your capabilities do not pale next to me.”

Ling Xian softly smiled. Pure-blooded phoenixes are one of the strongest monsters and was on par with the human kinds’ nine sage bodies. Their capabilities are out of the world.

He truly believed that Huang Jiu Ge is one of the top Heaven’s Favorites right now and was just as strong.

“You are flattering me.”

Huang Jiu Ge’s face was red out of embarrassment. However, to be complimented by Ling Xian made her feel sweet inside.

“Alright, let’s see what’s on the ship.”

Ling Xian waved around his hand and marched on in giant steps with his head held high.

At once, black sea roared, waves reached up to the sky, automatically parting to two sides.

Everyone on the ship subconsciously stepped back and stared at Ling Xian with astonishment.

He had defeated Nan Gong Huai Yu. Why wouldn’t these people be afraid? All of them silently stepped back, terrified that if they annoy Ling Xian, they would get killed as well.

Ling Xian laughed at this and continued to walk on in giant steps. His stance was like a royal stepping out. His gaze appeared to be able to see as far as 3,000 miles.

Then, Huang Jiu Ge and he stepped onto the ancient ship.

This made everyone retreat even further. All of them had stepped back to the back corner. They didn’t even have the courage to approach Ling Xian.

What could they do? He was far too terrifying. Even Nan Gong Huai Yu was killed by him. Where would they find the guts to get close to him?

If they accidentally anger him, they wouldn’t even be able to find a place to cry to.

Therefore, everyone stepped back. Many people even left the ship and headed to deeper parts of the ship.

Ling Xian was speechless. He didn’t think he would scare everyone so much.

“Master, they are treating you like you are a monster.” Huang Jiu Ge giggled behind her hand.

“Let them be.”

Ling Xian shook his head and laughed, feeling too lazy to think twice about these people’s fear. He looked over to the ship.

The ship had been very much eroded and was now a wreck. There were splatters of blood all over the boat. Even after the sea washed over it so many times, the stains never faded.

To know that this was a military Ship of Breakage with an extremely powerful exterior. Yet it was now looking like this. Just how terrible was the battle back then?

“Such an intense battle… even the Ship of Breakage now looks like this,” Ling Xian exclaimed. Then, he marched forward to the storage room of the ship.

Military transportations like this are normally used to ship around resources. Therefore, the first place he thought of was the storage room.

When he arrived, several cultivators who were searching around were astounded by the sight of Ling Xian and left without a word.

Ling Xian was speechless. He didn’t think these cultivators would be so terrified of him.

“Oh well, now that they have all left. I can take my time searching.”

Ling Xian shook his head and smiled. He looked over to the mountain of treasures inside the storage room. But the first sight of everything disappointed him.

All because all those treasures have eroded into useless junk.

The medicinal Dans’ properties changed and the spiritual treasures lost their spirituality. All the training resources have now been trashed and everything was now useless.

“Everything is now trash.” Ling Xian softly sighed, he knew this would happen.

After all, god knows how long this ship has existed. There may be many treasures, but they have all been aged and tainted by the test of time.

“It looks like this ship is now without value.”

Ling Xian felt a little sad. Just then, his peripheral vision glanced to the right side and noticed a heavy halberd.

It was a meter long and was completely black. It was emitting an endless amount of energy and spirituality. It gave people the feeling that it was very dense. As water washed over it again and again, it remained unmoving.

“This halberd…” Ling Xian frowned. He used his Qi to scan it and his eyes glistened.

He discovered that while this long halberd had lost its spirituality, the materials it is composed of was never damaged. This halberd was made to battle. Its key material was the legendary material, Iron of Hades.

This heavenly material is extremely rare and immensely valuable. Out of all the heavenly materials, it is top ranked as one or two.

Legend has it that weapons made out of this material can not only attack a crowd, it can also effect the opponent’s mentality, making one feel fear as if one’s in hell.

For this reason, this material is known as the Iron of Hades – meaning, it leads on to the world of the dead.

“I have encountered Iron of Hades… Not bad. My trip wasn’t in vain.” Ling Xian smiled, revealing a bright smile.

Though this halberd is now deemed junk, the Iron of Hades is as good as new. If he melts it, he would be getting himself a precious heavenly material.

Therefore, Ling Xian was extremely overjoyed.

Then, he placed the black halberd into his storage pouch and searched around the ship for a bit. Without exception, however, time has eroded all these treasures and turned them into useless junk.

Ling Xian wasn’t disappointed at this. To have gained this Iron of Hades was already a shocking gain.

So many cultivators have lost their lives here without gains.

“Alright, I think the really good stuff should be buried deep within the sea.”

Ling Xian grinned softly and his eyes flickered with anticipation. “I do not believe that this Second Prohibited Area that so many cultivators die to get in would be without treasures.”

Then, he mentally called out and the Winged Blitz appeared. The moment it did, large waves were generated, shocking everyone on the ship.

“Jiu Ge, let us go.”

Ling Xian’s wings flapped, breaking apart the black sea. He then headed to the deep end of the sea.
