Chapter 24 - Planetary Shield (1)
"Can the bastard with that trumpet stop blowing it?! I hope it hasn't attracted the attention of some highly dangerous, blood-lusting people." Sun Kang said as he dashed at a cautiously high speed to the place where the sound was coming from.
He was absolutely cautious in using a really advanced movement technique that will immediately give him away to the elders as someone who possibly possessed tons of knowledge of certain skills that will probably top the charts of the most powerful and strongest skill rankings in Major Planets!
Luckily for him, he was able to arrive at the place where the trumpet sound was coming from many moments later. And without needing to say anything, he directly shot over to the person holding the trumpet close to his mouth in readiness to blow it and directly said, "Give me that!"
He directly snatched the trumpet from the person who looked at him with both fear and anger written in his eyes.
"Why were you blowing this?" Sun Kang questioned coldly.
"Does it look like a toy?" He asked with the coldness in his face rapidly subsiding when he realized that he was in the wrong.
He then looked at the person that he snatched that trumpet from and said apologetically, "Sorry about my behavior, but in case of next time, it's not everything that you see that you play with. Since you came across this trumpet in this wilderness, you could have just kept it instead of blowing it."
Once Sun Kang said that, the person looked at him with a face that expressed 'why?'
Sun Kang saw this expression and said, "Forget it, you won't understand. As for this item, I will be seizing it. When you are strong enough, you can directly come to me to challenge me for it. If not, don't ever appear in my view to beg for the trumpet, or you wouldn't like what I would do to you."
Immediately Sun Kang said that, he immediately turned around and shot away. He however left something behind that seemed like a good cultivation material which that person caught sight of and picked up before having the built-up anger in his heart slowly dissipating.
After Sun Kang had gone far, he stopped at a particular place to have a good look at the trumpet, he then saw how ominous and evil the trumpet looked.
It however looked like a really damaged, low-quality trumpet-type treasure that wasn't worth taking a second look at, which Sun Kang guessed caused the elders to leave it here in the wilderness for any sound-based Origin Energy-cultivating disciple to maybe pick and probably make use of.
"Only if they know what this trumpet is and signifies. Sighs!" Sun Kang said and sighed.
He then continued, "I guess it was that epic world-shaking battle with the Shining Six Palaces' Great Brilliance Sovereign that caused the trumpet to be this damaged."
"In his exceeding anger at the ruthlessness of the Solitary Demon Sovereign for wiping out a Major Planet, he went ahead to challenge him and caused a great deal of damage to the Solitary Demon Blood Temple which in turn affected a lot of disciple and caused their demises."
"And he was so strong and powerful that the Solitary Demon Sovereign couldn't do much damage to him and could only flee for his life with the Shining Six Palaces' Great Brilliance Sovereign furiously chasing after him to totally obliterate him and fully destroy his lifeblood weapon that was the Oceanic Blood Trumpet, a trumpet that when sounded will bring down the calamitous, higher-level powers of the Law of Darkness, Law of Blood, and the Law of Slaughter."
Sun Kang mentioned and then recalled how the trumpet, on a single blow, had caused the skies of all the small, large and grand cities found on the tens of thousands of massive continents found on a Major Planet to abruptly turn dark-black in color with raging, blood-red vortexes a million folds larger than dozens of mountain ranges combined together, appearing in the millions and quickly tearing up the planet only second in size to Grand Planets into countless tiny fragments that was pulverized into nothing in the next instant by the vortices themselves which were borne from the Law of Slaughter.
"What a terrible weapon." Sun Kang said when he recalled the frightening power that the trumpet possessed.
He then looked at the extensively damaged, ordinary-looking trumpet with strange markings in his hand and said with a deeply thoughtful expression in his face, "Since weapons like this will possess crystallized cores of laws which are infused into them by the user, and which will definitely cause the weapons to invoke the power and might of those laws through the activated, crystallized cores of laws residing within them, I guess I should be able to obtain a really high comprehension on the law of slaughter, blood and darkness from the cores present in this trumpet, since they are what the Solitary Demon Sovereign got full enlightenment into. I just hope the interior isn't as badly damaged as the exterior."
"Besides, being an inheritance-level treasure weapon, it will certainly possess three of the most powerful arts of the Solitary Demon Sovereign. The Nether Lord God-Demon Obliteration Palm, the Dark Colossus Worldbreaking Finger art, and then the Supreme Blood God Thousand Livid Ghosts art. And I am very sure that it will have many other world-shaking techniques, and also secrets which the Solitary Demon Sovereign will store into it for his sole legacy disciple to obtain."
"What a huge fortuitous encounter. I would have loved to learn these arts and cultivate their techniques too, but time will definitely not permit me. Ugh! I will however try to create a clone. And thankfully, I have many powerful clone arts in my head."
"I will choose the perfect one of all of them, or better still, combine all clone arts together to form one that will result in the creation of a super-strong and innately, massively talented clone that won't have or possess any kind of flaw that will either affect his cultivation growth or comprehension rate."
"If I can build a clone that will have a monstrous comprehension speed, then learning too many really powerful arts at once and becoming highly proficient in them will be easy as breathing. Haha!" Sun Kang grinned and nodded his head after thinking along this line.
Sun Kang who could easily distinguish between good and evil, had no qualms learning any art from both sides, as he knew that it wasn't the art that was actually evil, but the people who learnt them.
Someone could actually choose to do good despite studying an evil art. Besides, being someone that enjoyed studying all sorts of arts that he will ever come across, no matter their moral inclination and ranking to receive enlightenment and come up with his own special or exotic moves, he absolutely won't shy away from learning any art that will deliver themselves to his doorstep.
However, what he didn't know was that a group of seven males and two females that ranged from the age of thirty-six to thirty-eight, and had cultivation stages that ranged from the eight layer to the tenth layer of Profound Law Master stage, were currently making their way to the planet that he was currently in with really frosty expressions written all over their faces, and with bodies that exuded a tangible and heavily overwhelming desire to murder and destroy everything in their paths !
