Thirty years!
Ai Cangsheng had never encountered such a presumptuous and reckless man.
Even when Xu Xiaoshou climbed the mountain, he still gave Ai Cangsheng face, refraining from clashing head-on with his sharpness.
The actions of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man seed only to account for the present, ignoring the consequences. On his Yama mask, it might as well have been engraved with three words: Kill .
"Buzz!"
The bowstring of the Evil Sin Bow trembled lightly.
Ai Cangsheng gripped it tightly but did not directly pull it up.
In his ears, in the ears of all the Saints in the Holy Mountain Square, and even of the spectators before the Five Domains Preaching Mirror at this mont.
What echoed was Xi’s voice, trembling slightly, filled with a desperate determination to expose the truth to the five domains of the continent:
"The Five Decays of Heaven and Man hails from the Southern Region’s Golden Technique Sect, born with the Body of Decay, one of the Five Extre Physiques. After the Southern Region’s top faction resisted for thirteen years, its fortune collapsed completely, leading to their downfall and extinction!"
"The Five Decays of Heaven and Man was later invited by Huang Quan to join Yama. Yama once conducted an operation outside the Heaven Prayer Forest of Dongtianwang City, where the Three Loathso Eyes of demi-saint Jiang Xian from the Northern Region’s Jiang Clan were seized and implanted in the Five Decays of Heaven and Man!"
"The Five Decays of Heaven and Man ascended to Sky City, and through an incredibly strange series of events, sanctified himself using the Blood World Pearl. Retaining Absolute Body during this process, he killed and took the God of Death’s power from the Dark Division Chief Ye Xiao, who had evolved the Immortal Body, one of the Five Extre Physiques, before dying!"
"The Five Decays of Heaven and Man... also possesses the Body of Devour? The specifics remain unclear, but it seems he embodies... three Extre Physiques?!"
Xi appeared as if he were reading this intelligence for the very first ti.
By the end, he raised his head to look at the crowd, his gaze slightly unfocused.
There was one sentence he left unsaid.
The Transformation Division had yet to gather intelligence about the Five Decays of Heaven and Man after Abyss Island, seemingly classified as top-secret by the Hallmaster Dao at the ti. The information remained solely within his knowledge, never disclosed.
The latest report he held, titled "Briefing on The Five Decays of Heaven and Man," was indeed new to him, provided by soone signing off as "Southern Region Enthusiastic Fugitive."
Hallmaster Dao, are you watching the Sacred Mountain as well?
Hallmaster Dao, won’t you co and save the Sacred Mountain? Such a terrifying entity—can you really be at peace letting it ascend?
Silently, Xi prayed.
In truth, what he wanted to say most wasn’t the two sentences above but...
Hallmaster Dao, co—take away!
But I am rely Xi. What value do I even hold? I cannot compare to even the smallest part of the Moonless Sword Deity, nor am I worthy of becoming your sword!
Xi’s unfocused gaze finally dimd entirely.
Feng Zhongzui at the mountain’s edge listened to these words, his hands no longer shaking, his heart no longer racing.
For a long mont, the people of the Five Domains remained silent. Knowing the truth, they were at a loss as to how to react—gratefulness failed to rise, and ignoring it was impossible.
Whether on the battlefield or beyond, every individual, at this very mont, felt disaster looming overhead.
"He embodies three Extre Physiques, doesn’t he..."
If the Ten High Nobles are the continent’s pinnacle of talent, then the Five Extre Physiques rank in terms of destruction among the top five.
Throughout history, whenever traces of the Five Extre Physiques have erged, they have typically been swiftly eradicated with thunderous asures, snuffing disasters out in the cradle.
The worst was when one of the Five Extre Physiques began to take its initial form, bringing calamity to the continent.
Even so, it could be considered a case of nding the fold after losing the sheep, as the Shengshen Continent endured on gritted teeth, surviving the aftermath by relying on ti to heal its wounds.
But now, it’s not just one Extre Physique—it’s a monster embodying three, and it has ascended the Sacred Mountain!
This entity seems devoid of a childhood phase, appearing before the world fully matured in its first sighting.
"I recall the Body of Decay being designated an Extre Physique precisely because the last ti it appeared, everyone who encountered it vanished completely...like the Golden Technique Sect?"
"The Immortal Body too—no matter how one attempts to kill it, it simply won’t die. It’s no wonder he can heal so rapidly. What can be done against it... sealing, exile? Damned thing, being unkillable just ans he has limitless possibilities! He’s not exclusively the Immortal Body either!"
"It’s over, it’s over, it’s over—I’ve already seen the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. Will I succumb to ’Five Decays’ from across a domain? Have I already been cursed just by exposure?"
"And he also possesses the Body of Devour! Wasn’t the Engulfing Power on Lord Shou—why does he also have it? One of Lord Shou is terrifying enough, but he’s at least rational... This Five Decays of Heaven and Man though, just watching him feels insane!"
"I kind of want to look—and yet I don’t dare to... By the way, discussing him won’t lead to anything bad, right? I won’t end up dying a horrible death at ho just for saying a word or two about him, will I?"
"Lord Cangsheng, what exactly are your Eyes of the Great Path observing? Why didn’t you foresee this? Are you spending all your ti spying on widows bathing?!"
...
My negligence...
After hearing Xi’s complete report, Ai Cangsheng’s mind instead grew calm.
He was perplexed.
Knowing that such a terrifying being exists, the longer it lives, the greater the danger to the continent—why had Dao Qiongcang learned of this yet taken no action?
Soon, he beca resigned.
The primary target he had been watching for all these years at Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe had never been the Divine but Dao Qiongcang!
This man harboring ulterior motives wasn’t surprising.
As he concealed things from Ai Cangsheng, it proved that the Five Decays of Heaven and Man might be an integral chess piece in Dao Qiongcang’s next strategic move!
Raising the Evil Sin Bow, Ai Cangsheng cast his gaze toward the mountain’s halfway point.
He needed to kill this man.
From the south to the seas in the north, extermination was an absolute necessity.
Yet this was deeply unfair to the Five Decays of Heaven and Man personally—being born with the Body of Decay was never of his choosing!
But alas, there was no other choice.
Faced with the dilemma of sacrificing one versus sacrificing countless others, Ai Cangsheng was no true savior—he could not have both the fish and the bear’s paw.
