Hazuki was also there when Nie Li assembled the sword. He was watching them quietly as they stared at the fragments of the Myriad Ancestor Sword.
Of course, Nie Li decided to ignore Hazuki since the latter was the bane of his existence. He, a reincarnator, being abused by an 18-year-old young man? If his past self could see him, then he would definitely slap his head too.
"Nie Li, just what are the uses of these fragments?" Xiao Ning'er couldn't control herself from asking. It wasn't an easy task to obtain the fragments and she had no idea of the uses of those fragments.
Ye Ziyun also looked at Nie Li in puzzlement. Nie Li had already studied those fragments for half a day and they still didn't know what Nie Li was going to do with them.
"Can these fragments combine to form the Myriad Ancestor Sword?" Ye Ziyun blinked her eyes as she asked.
"Not now, the Sword Spirit has already dissipated. I'm afraid that it will be hard to restore it." Nie Li sighed as he shook his head.
"Then, what should we do? Without the Myriad Ancestor Sword, we won't be able to return to the Tiny World in a short time." Yu Yan frowned her brows, "Only the Myriad Ancestor Sword could break through the seal on the Tiny World."
Hearing Yu Yan's words, Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er both widened their eyes. They had been looking forward to the day that they could return back to the Tiny World. However, they had not heard Nie Li speak about it.
"Nie Li, why didn't you say anything earlier?" Ye Ziyun looked at Nie Li.
Nie Li gave a bitter smile, "Actually, I had already expected such a situation. I was worried that you guys would be even more disappointed if you had high hopes." Nie Li's eyes wondered around and he saw Hazuki sitting in a corner with a smirk on his face.
"What? Why are you looking at me with that kind of gaze? Do you swing that way?" Hazuki chuckled. "So that's the reason why you're always hanging out with Du Ze and the others rather than stay with Ning'er and Ziyun!"
Nie Li looked at him with half-open eyes and didn't even bother to reply. Hazuki's remarks were always sarcastic when it comes to him and it's better to avoid arguing with him.
Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er also ignored his remarks since they are sure that Nie Li is attracted to them.
"Hazuki, you can create portals, right? You are traveling through various realms with that ability, right? And I presume that you can also create a portal that leads towards Glory City, right at this instant." Nie Li said. He was sure that Hazuki could do that since the latter could even go to far places like the 'Primal Chaos' he heard in his and the Dragon God's conversation.
He was conflicted since he wants to break open the seal leading towards the Tiny World. By doing that, He, together with Yu Yan, would be able to sense the aura of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book. After that, they could gather the whole book to search for an answer on how to break the Sage Emperor's seal on time and space. But at the same time, he doesn't want to break it open. If he did break the seal, then the Tiny World would be vulnerable to the Sage Emperor and his servants.
If he relied on Hazuki's ability to create a portal towards the Tiny World, then they would have to spend much more effort to find the remaining pages of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book.
Nie Li's greatest enemy was the Sage Emperor and the second was time. Time waits for no one and Nie Li doesn't know when will the Sage Emperor notice him. If he was noticed without the whole Temporal Demon Spirit Book with him, then he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
He's sure that he'll get noticed sooner than he was expecting since he received a world-defying inheritance from the Dragon God.
"Yes, I can." Hazuki replied nonchalantly.
Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er were overjoyed that they could to Glory City at any time. "Really?! Then, can we go back to Glory City anytime?!" they asked with excitement evident on their faces. Even Ye Zong, observing them from behind, was surprised.
Hazuki just nodded with a smile.
Ye Zong started to reminisce about Glory City and his duties there as the City Lord. His father must be the one managing that place after he died and he couldn't wait to tell his father that he's already back.
Nie Li was calmer since he already knew the miracles of Hazuki. Reviving someone through the use of his eyes, powerful energy capable of dominating the Heavenly Energy, Inheritances that are outside of this world, and his God-like abilities that he hasn't seen before even with the help of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book.
Yu Yan was also shocked as she heard Hazuki's reply. 'Is he just boasting...? The seal on the Tiny World was so strong that even the Sage Emperor couldn't do anything about it. Even the Sage Emperor's clone doesn't have the power to tear through it, much less bypass it through a portal...'
"But you all shouldn't always rely on me. I wouldn't create a portal there even if Nie Li offered to become my slave." Hazuki said.
Nie Li looked at him with disdain and replied. "Who the heck wants to become your slave?! I can do it without your help." Then he, once again, brought out the fragments of the Myriad Ancestor Sword and laid it on the table in front of him. At the same time, Nie Li brought out the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword.
"Nie Li, what are you trying to do?" Yu Yan asked, puzzled at Nie Li's actions.
"I will use the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword to absorb the energy of the Myriad Ancestor Sword!" Nie Li said.
"WIll that work?" Yu Yan asked with doubt. The Myriad Ancestor Sword is one of the two Godslayer artifacts! Even she only knew 2 things that can surpass it and those are: the other Godslayer Artifact and the Temporal Demon Spirit Book.
"Even if it doesn't work, we still have to try it since these fragments don't have any use after the Sword Spirit Dissipated. If the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword was successful in devouring the Fragments of the Myriad Ancestor Sword, it should be able to possess a portion of the Myriad Ancestor Sword's power, possessing the power to break the seal on the Tiny World." Nie Li replied. If it still wasn't successful then they don't have a choice other than rely on Hazuki.
Nie Li was also getting nervous since the Hundred Million Level beast tide might arrive in the Glory City. If that happened and they aren't there, the Glory City will not be able to escape its fate of destruction.
Suddenly, A surge of majestic force was released from the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword. The body of the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword flickered with light. Within that light was a mysterious energy that was, at the same time, flickering with lightning.
Ye Zong couldn't help but spat a mouthful of blood because of the sheer power of the force.
*Spat* Ye Ziyun immediately protected his father from the force but even she couldn't but feel pressured in the face of the majestic force.
Nie Li lightly frowned his brows, since he could vaguely sense that the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword was not the same as the past and the Fragments of the Myriad Ancestor Sword that were placed on the table were also becoming restless.
The six sword fragments were flickering with bright lights, each of them was trembling as if trying to break through all obstacles. However, they were completely surrounded by a cage of lightning created from the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword.
"Nie Li, do you know the origin of this sword in your hands?" Yu Yan was astonished as she asked.
"I have no idea. I only know that this Thunder God's Meteorite Sword is an ancient sword. Why do you ask?" Nie Li said with doubt.
"Because it seems to be suppressing the energy of the Myriad Ancestor Sword!" Yu Yan was a little astonished as she spoke.
Nie Li was staring at the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword in his hands. He could vaguely sense that the sword was an astronomical black hole that was constantly devouring the power within the Myriad Ancestor Sword's fragments.
Frightening lightning seemed as if it wanted to break out.
The might of the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword grew stronger and stronger, to the point that it nearly flew out from Nie Li's hands.
"What's going on?" Nie Li firmly held onto the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword in an attempt to suppress it. All of a sudden, a fearful lightning bolt shot into Nie Li.
"Arggggghhh!" Nie Li issued a painful howl. He can feel that the lightning energy was trying to tear his body apart from the inside. Good thing his physique was already strengthened by the Dragon God's blood, if not, then even he doesn't know what will happen to him.
Nie Li could also vaguely feel that the sword was trying to break free from his control and he must absolutely prevent that from happening. The Thunder God's Meteorite Sword is one of his trump cards in his fight against the Sage Emperor, if he lost the sword then the chances of beating him would be lowered.
"Nie Li, what's wrong?" Yu Yan anxiously asked. Even Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun wanted to hold onto Nie Li.
"Don't touch me. Otherwise, the lightning within me would circulate to you guys." Nie Li hastily obstructed.
"Then, what should we do?" Ye Ziyun was anxious to the point that tears started to fill her eyes.
"Nie Li, how can we help you?" Xiao Ning'er was a little more calm compared to Ye Ziyun as she asked.
"My strength can no longer suppress the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword. I have to go into the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting, you guys come along!" Nie Li said with a solemn voice as he quickly opened the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting. With a whooshing sound, everyone turned into streaks of light as they disappeared.
Hazuki stared at them with amusement as he followed them inside the Painting.
As he entered, he immediately saw the disturbance that Nie Li was creating.
He saw Nie Li holding the rampaging sword, his forehead was full of sweat and he was struggling to control the sword.
Nie Li and the Sword appeared to be in a standstill, both of them are not yielding to each other and were fighting over control.
"Let's help Nie Li to suppress the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword!" At the sight of it, Yu Yan immediately ordered as she looked at Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er. She also looked at Hazuki at the corner of her eyes but she eventually suppressed her desire to ask him for help.
"What should we do?" Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun were already impatient. Seeing how much pain Nie Li was in, and the fact that they could not render any assistance to him, already made them extremely anxious.
"We'll inject our Soul Force into Nie Li's body together!" Yu Yan said. But before they could get near to Nie Li, Hazuki's figure appeared in front of them.
"What are you doing?!" Yu Yan asked with anger. Nie Li might be in danger! Why are you preventing us from helping him!?
Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er were also looking at Hazuki with pleading eyes. "Hazuki-san! Please help Nie Li! If you can't, at least allow us to help him!"
Hazuki didn't budge from his position and replied. "No need, Nie Li needs to pass surpass this trial with his own power. If you all interfered, then his life might even be placed in danger."
Yu Yan doesn't believe him and tried to attack Hazuki. She conjured two golden-colored flames on both of her palms and combined it before she fired it to Hazuki. She didn't even consider that Hazuki was Nie Li's benefactor and recklessly attacked.
Hazuki's gaze slightly turned angry. How dare you attack me so suddenly?!
Hazuki aimed his palm towards Yu Yan and conjured chakra chains created with Heavenly Energy.
*Whoosh* The Chains shot towards Yu Yan and it immediately dispersed the fireball after piercing through it.
Yu Yan was shocked and immediately flew away, but the chains were too fast and chased after her. Before she could even get away, she was caught by the chains.
"Arrrgh!" Yu Yan screamed in pain. The chains surrounding her weren't only tight, but it was also forcibly restraining her Divine Essence of Fire, her life source. If it continued, she might not die but she will definitely enter slumber in order to restore her Divine Essence of Fire.
Hazuki immediately released her since he wasn't really planning on tormenting her. He only wants to teach her a lesson since she was being rude to Nie Li's benefactor.
"Sister Yu Yan, are you okay?!" Ziyun and Ning'er immediately checked on her condition.
Yu Yan placed her palm atop her chest and gasped for breath. Within that few seconds of restriction, she felt that her life wasn't hers anymore and she could die anytime.
"I-I'm fine, d-don't worry." Yu Yan replied with a tinge of fear in her voice. She felt a newfound hear envelop her body as Hazuki stared at her from above.
"Hazuki-san, why would you do that?!" Ning'er asked with a tinge of anger in her voice. Can't you be gentler with Sister Yu Yan?!
"It's her fault, Ning'er. Why would she attack me in the first place? I only returned the favor." Hazuki said. No remorse could even be seen on his face.
Yu Yan raised her body up and said. "I-t's fine, Ning'er. I know it's my fault and I apologize." Then she bowed towards Hazuki.
"Just continue watching, because even without your help, he can control that sword. If he can't even do something as simple as that, then I must be wrong in my choice to help him." Hazuki said as he turned his back against them and stared at Nie Li.
Suddenly, a small animal, Jindan, came flying and landed on Nie Li's shoulders. As soon as it landed on Nie Li's shoulder, Jindan was immediately electrocuted by the powerful energy coming from the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword.
It flapped its wings, attempting to flee but the bolts of lighting weren't allowing Jindan to escape.
*Roar* Suddenly, a majestic roar of a dragon swept to all directions. Yu Yan, Ye Ziyun, and Ning'er were startled after hearing that roar.
That Roar even made their soul tremble and for a second, their bodies froze.
After that roar, the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword suddenly calmed down. The streaks of lightning rampaging around also visibly dimmed and were forced back inside the Sword.
'Heh, looks like the Dragon God and Jindan saved Nie Li's ass this time. Nie Li has plot armors everywhere I say....' Hazuki chuckled.
The Lightning around Nie Li settled and he eventually opened his eyes. Nie Li looked at the sword in his hands, then he patted Jindan, whose perched atop his shoulder.
"Looks like the Dragon God's Soul saved your ass, Nie Li." Hazuki said after seeing that Nie Li already subdued the sword.
Nie Li dryly laughed but he didn't deny Hazuki's words. He has already received the sword stances of the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword and was amazed by Kong Ming's ability. But he was even more amazed by the Dragon God's Soul!
That thing managed to suppress the rampaging sword with just a roar, aiding Nie Li in regaining control.
"Hazuki, just what is this thing you gave me." Nie Li asked solemnly. At first, he thought that the inheritance only includes the Dragon God's marrow, Dragon God's Soul, and the Demon spirit itself. Though those things are already incredible, he still thought that they are no match for the Temporal Demon Spirit Book in terms of value.
But only now did he found out that this inheritance he received was so precious and even he doesn't know if which is more valuable between the two. The other was a time-space artifact, with vast knowledge imprinted within and has the power to sed him into the past.
While the other is an inheritance that is continuously strengthening him and even he doesn't know the limit of it. His body's regenerative capabilities were enhanced and his body became as tough as a dragon's. It also has the capability of suppressing everything around him with just a roar and even this unfathomable sword got suppressed.
"I didn't give it to you, Scoundrel Nie Li. I let you borrow it." Hazuki replied.
"Don't think too much about it since you'll not understand it. In the future when you've already defeated the Sage Emperor, maybe you might slightly understand it. All you have to do right now is strengthen yourself as much as you can and defeat the Sage Emperor." He added mysteriously.
Although he wasn't satisfied with the answer, Nie Li didn't chase the matter any further. Then he ignored everything and started to practice the Sword stances of the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword.
*Whoosh* *Whoosh* The sword sliced the wind repeatedly as Nie Li got immersed in his own world.
Hazuki sensed the commotion outside and decided to check it out. Ziyun and Ning'er's eyes didn't even leave Nie Li's figure for a second so they are unaware of Hazuki's departure.
As soon as he came out, Hazuki immediately sensed Nangong Xianyin's aura. Her aura was together with 10 other more Martial Ancestor Realm experts and there is a single aura emitting a faint dark aura.
'That must be Yao Lie.. What should I do...?' Hazuki thought for a second before flying towards the place. Hazuki's thinking about how he should deal with Yao Lie, if he killed the latter then the Demon God's sect will be alerted and they might attack the righteous sects. If their number 2, Yao Lie, died then they will definitely try to reduce the number of their enemies starting from the weakest. That way, they would have the ability to resist against the remaining righteous sects, they might even win if they could drag at least 2 sects down.
Hazuki wasn't able to come into a decision and just let it for fate to decide. If that Yao Lie b*stard annoyed him, then he might just silence him there.
A few seconds later, Hazuki arrived at the battlefield. He saw Yao Lie striking the barrier made by the numerous experts of the Heavenly Note Sect. Just a palm of his, the disciples flying in the skies fell down like rain.
"Sect Master, with our strength, I'm afraid that we will not be able to hold up for long!"
"Yao Lie, that demon, since when did he grow so strong!?"
A bitter expression surfaced on the face of several Martial Ancestor Realm experts. That invasive Demonic Aura seemed as if it could erode everything and could slowly break down their energy.
"Sect Master, we're still unsure if Yao Lie came alone. If Luo Xinxin, that demoness, came as well…"
"Sect Master, it seems like we have to activate the Sect Protecting Array." One of the Martial Ancestor experts said with much anxiousness.
Nangong Xianyin lightly furrowed her brows and after a brief consideration, she said. "Just where could Young Master Hazuki be.."
Hazuki flew above and faced Yao Lie. His voice shook the area as he said. "Nangong Xianyin, you want me to deal with this Demon?"
Every expert of the Heavenly Note Sect looked up to see a Young Man facing against Yao Lie.
Excluding the Protectors, the experts of the Heavenly Note Sect were incensed by his attitude. How dare he call our Sect Master by her name without respect?!
"Young Master Hazuki, you finally arrived! I ask of you, please protect out sect and I'll our sect will do anything within our power to repay you." Nangong Xianyin bowed submissively.
Everyone was stunned as Nangong Xianyin immediately bowed down in the face of that Young Man. Who is he actually, to receive the Sect Master's respect? She even bowed towards him!
Then they observed the Young Man in the skies, hoping to gauge his worth even more.
"Brat, who the hell are you?" Yao Lie asked with a dangerous glint flashing across his eyes. Killing Intent surrounded Hazuki and Yao Lie was immediately on the aggressive.
Hazuki shrugged off the pressure easily and replied with a smile. "Hmm... I guess you don't need to know that since you are going to die."
Yao Lie's eyes widened before he roared in laughter. "Haha! Interesting! I'll tear off that smile on your face and let you face real terror!"
Then Yao Lie suddenly appeared in front of Hazuki, his hands were extended, trying to grasp his neck.
*Slice* Suddenly, Yao Lie's extended arm was sliced and his arm fell to the ground with a thud.
Blood flowed from Yao Lie's shoulder and he stared at him with a terrified expression. Suddenly, Yao Lie felt his neck being grasped and he couldn't even struggle within it.
Hazuki was gripping Yao Lie's neck with his left hand. His right hand was currently enveloped by a Ki blade and that's what he used to sever Yao Lie's arm.
Hazuki wasn't satisfied and flew up towards the three presences he felt. These presences are from the elders of the Demon God Sect, they are Xu Hu, Xu Long, and Feng Yu.
Feng Yu was also an influential figure within the Demon God's Sect, ranking just below Yao Lie.
The two elders are within the top 20 of the Sect and they are here to assist Yao Lie in the mission.
They were startled as they saw Yao Lie getting dragged by the neck by a Young Man.
*Whoosh* Hazuki stopped 5 meters away from them and threw over Yao Lie. Hazuki wasn't worrying about them escaping since they wouldn't be able to avoid his senses in the first place.
"Hah hah...." Yao Lie panted as he used his Heavenly Energy to stop his wound from bleeding. He stared at Hazuki with anger and said. "You b*stard...! Feng Yu, Xu Hu, Xu Long, help me kill that brat! He's too dangerous to be left alive!"
Feng Yu, Xu Hu, and Xu Long were shocked as they heard Yao Lie's words. Beneath his words, there was a trace of fear he wasn't able to conceal and Feng Yu immediately sensed it.
"Yao Lie, since he's able to injure you then he should be as powerful as the Sect Master! We should just flee and immediately report this to the Sect Master!" Feng Yu sent a voice transmission.
She knew that Yao Lie must be humiliated and he wants vengeance in order to wipe away his shame.
"No! We must cooperate to kill this brat! He's too dangerous and the Sect Master's plans might be hindered by him!" Yao Lie insisted.
Feng Yu couldn't help but feel troubled by Yao Lie's insistence. She then looked at Hazuki in front of them and frowned. 'I couldn't sense his power..! Could he be a supreme master from the Divine Feather's Sect?!'
She immediately denied that Hazuki was from the Heavenly Note Sect since the sect doesn't accept males. It's most probable that he's from the Divine Feather's Sect since they are visiting the Heavenly Note Sect.
"Xu Hu, Xu Long, Feng Yu, attack on my signal!" Yao Lie transmitted his voice to his companions.
Hazuki stared at them calmly as he said. "So, you came here in order to capture Nie Li, that brat?"
Yao Lie and the others were shocked by Hazuki's words. 'How did he know about our aim here?! Only the 4 of us should've known about that!'
"Brat, where did you receive that information?!" Yao Lie scowled. Looks like there's a traitor among us! There's no other explanation than that since the order came from the Sect Master herself and only they know about the aim of this expedition.
"As I said, you don't need to know since you'll all die here." A playful expression surfaced on Hazuki's face as Ki blades appeared on both of his hands.
"Attack now!! Immediately activate the killing array from the Sect Master!" Yao Lie snarled.
The four of them circled around the air in front of Hazuki and all of them formed different hand seals with their hands.
"Nine Nether Killing Array!!" All four of them shouted simultaneously as the Heavenly Energy around them rampaged and converged on the array.
*Boom!* Suddenly, a dark ray made of Heavenly Energy shot out from the middle of the Array.
It struck Hazuki and the Heavenly energy around him rampaged. He was covered by the smoke of the explosion and Hazuki could feel a trace of energy, trying to corrode him. Too bad it wouldn't even be able to corrode his hair follicles much less his skin.
The dust settled and Hazuki appeared from the dust. His position didn't even shift and his clothes weren't even ruffled!
Yao Lie and the others were stunned and there's only a single thing on their minds now. Flee!
All four of them immediately scattered and flee in all directions. But of course, how could Hazuki allow them,
He extended his right hand and suddenly, violet-colored chains shot out of his palm.
The chains were so fast that it reached Yao Lie and the others in just a few seconds.
"Arrrrghh!" All of them tried to struggle free from the chains. Even though their faces were contorted in pain, they still tried their best to resist. That's because if they died here, that would be the end! No resurrections or anything!
The Chains dragged them back in front of Hazuki. All four of them couldn't even ruffle the chains surrounding them.
"Hehe. The harvest today looks bountiful." Hazuki chuckled as they stared at their faces. He's going to let Nie Li handle them and read their memory.
Yao Lie and the others couldn't speak and could only grit their teeth in anguish.
Hazuki descended to the ground and landed in front of Nangong Xianyin and the others. Nie Li, Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, and Ye Zong were already on the scene.
As Hazuki landed, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone.
"Hey, isn't that Yao Lie?! And who're those?!" One of the Martial Ancestor experts exclaimed.
Even Nangong Xianyin couldn't help but be astonished as she stared at Hazuki's captives. She could feel their auras could more or less tell how strong they are. 'Yao Lie and that woman are the leaders..! Those two should also be important elders of the Demon God's Sect!'
'Young Master Hazuki's clothes weren't even ruffled! Even these people from the Demon God's Sect don't have a trace of battle on their bodies..! That must mean that he captured them without resistance...!' Only now did Nangong Xianyin realize that Hazuki was stronger than she expected.
"Thank you very much for your assistance, Young Master Hazuki." Nangong Xianyin bowed and thanked him in public.
Every conscious member of the Heavenly Note Sect also expressed their gratitude to Hazuki, who saved them from a disaster.
Hazuki nodded with a smile before he said to Nie Li. "Hey, Brat. You know how to deal with these people, right?"
Nie Li smiled brightly as he said. "Of course!" Though he had a bright smile on his face, his smile looked terrifying to Yao Lie and the others.
Hazuki also helped them by manipulating the Nature energy around and healed the wounded. Everyone was stunned by this scene and thought. 'How is this possible?!'
Most of their healing practitioners could only heal a single person each treatment. But right now, Hazuki simultaneously healed everyone wounded?! How could they not be shocked!
Nie Li immediately sealed Yao Lie and the others Cultivation and dragged them towards the main hall. Then Nie Li immediately discussed about stationing their experts around the Heavenly Note Sect.
After the deal was done, Nie Li and the others made their way towards the Divine Feather's Sect.
