<h4>Chapter 1078: Rage of The ck Water </h4>
“I beg to differ. Without our Crimson Sun Mirror, you would not have found the Kunlun Ruins either.”
Supreme Origin Profound Sovereign retorted without hesitation. “Besides, it’s not like I’ve told any lies. The Ji n has not forgotten what the Jiang n has done, and we never will!”
“Says the liar! Be quiet, or you will regret it!” Silver Moon Sacred Lord exploded in anger as the moonlight around her flickered and chilled heaven, earth, and everything else in between.
Supreme Origin Profound Sovereign wasn’t impressed as a matter of course. He rested his right hand on his Demonying Sword, and its sword intent filled the world even before it escaped its sheath.
The two powers shed, and the sky was suddenly shrouded by dark, thunderous clouds.
Just the rage of a Sage was enough to throw heaven and earth into chaos.
The Truemen and Half Sages nched. They hurriedly backed away from the two Sages.
“Enough!”
At a critical moment, Jiang Yui stepped forward and stood between Silver Moon Sacred Lord and Supreme Origin Profound Sovereign, hands lowered in a cating manner. The gesture seemed perfectly harmless, but the moonlight disappeared, and the sword intent receded as ifmanded by the heavens themselves. The world immediately returned to calm.
The weaker warriors did not notice a thing, but Jiang Yui was shining like the sun in the eyes of both the Silver Moon Sacred Lord and Supreme Origin Profound Sovereign. Like a god who had be one with the world around him, he singlehandedly suppressed their air of dao like nothing.
Supreme Origin Profound Sovereign in particr felt as if he was standing right next to the sun. He could not help but panic as his sword intent melted like ice and snow the instant it made contact with Jiang Yui’s aura.
Around his waist, the Demonying Sword was shaking a little as if afraid or angry as well.
“Don’t forget our objective. We have gathered here today to enter the Kunlun Ruins and resolve the curse the Jiang n and the Ji n have borne for thousands of years, not to squabble with each other like children.”
Jiang Yui stared straight at Supreme Origin Profound Sovereign and Cyan Radiance Superior Celestial’s faces as he said sharply, “If you wish to cooperate with us, then cooperate properly. If not, then we might as well part ways now and save ourselves from future troubles.”
“You are right, Brother Jiang.”
Cyan Radiance Superior Celestial smiled. “We share a unified goal today, and the Kunlun Ruins are most dangerous. Only by cooperating with each other sincerely may we finally break free from our grim fate and cycle of death.”
“Junior Brother Supreme Origin does not mean any harm. This is just how his personality is. On behalf of him, this poor monk apologizes to Brother Jiang and asks for your forgiveness!”
As Cyan Radiance Superior Celestial saluted, he gave off a clear, boundless light that neutralized the suppression and restriction Jiang Yui’s aura had inflicted upon Supreme Origin Profound Sovereign.
“I forgive you, but let me be frank about something. Since we are cooperating, I expect everyone here to cooperate sincerely and without reservation. If anyone tries to pull something or act out because of foolish arrogance or selfishness, then I will not overlook their transgression.”
Jiang Yui’s harsh words caused the entire world to shake as if it was afraid.
“Naturally.” Cyan Radiance Superior Celestial replied with a warm, friendly smile. It was as if he didn’t mind Jiang Yui’s threat at all.
Supreme Origin Profound Sovereign snorted, but he did not say anything else.
“Junior brother, can the Crimson Sun Mirror still detect the person with the Radiant Tree branch?” The Cyan Radiance Superior Celestial asked.
“No.” Supreme Origin Profound Sovereign shook his head. “It lost track of them the moment they entered this ce. Or rather, the Crimson Sun Mirror has been pointing at the Radiant Tree since they came in.”
“It’s not surprising,” Cyan Radiance Superior Celestial replied as if he had expected this. “The Radiant Tree branch is but a fireflypared to the moon that is the Radiant Tree.”
“Apologies, Brother Jiang. Now that we’ve lost track of the thief, I don’t think we would be able to retrieve the Radiant Tree branch.”
“It’s fine. The reason we kept the Radiant Tree branch is to find the Kunlun Ruins. Since we have arrived, the Radiant Tree branch has lost its usefulness,” Jiang Yui replied indifferently.
It was at this moment someone spoke up. “Er... do you think the thief will affect our ns?”
Silver Moon Sacred Lord assured, “It’s just a petty thief. For all we know, they have already drowned in the ck Water. There is nothing to worry about.”
No one said a thing. They all agreed with her deduction.
A momentter, when everyone was more or less rested, the group finally headed for the ck Water.

After arriving at the rivershore, Jiang Yui looked at Silver Moon Sacred Lord and ordered, “Do it!”
Silver Moon Sacred Lord took a step forward, and the moon above her head floated into the sky.
The next moment, the bright moon turned silver as if covered by ayer of frost.
The world was dyed silver white under the silver moonlight. The ck Water was no exception.
A silver moon hung in the sky, and all under and above the heavens shared the same color.
The next moment, a terrible chill spread out in a specific direction. Everything illuminated by the moonlight was encased in ice.
The ck Water was no exception.
“Let’s go!”
Seeing that Silver Moon Sacred Lord had seeded, Jiang Yui beckoned and took the lead.
The ancestors of East Kunlun and West Kunlun were once the servants of the celestials of the Kunlun Ruins. Naturally, they were well aware of the characteristics of the ck Water and the Cyan Mountain and had devised many ways to counter them.
However, they were still in the middle of the ck Water when a thunderous rumble came from the bottom of the river. It sounded like a roar, and it was very, very angry.
The next moment, the ck water on both sides of the frozen passage rose a hundred meters into the air and copsed toward them.
That wasn’t all. The ck Water underneath the frozen passage was mming repeatedly against the ice like an angry dragon as well.
“What’s going on?”
Jiang Yui and the others werepletely confused. ording to their ancestors’ records, the ck Water was a sentient entity. When it encountered a living being, it would be enraged. When it encountered an inanimate object, it would consume it. Only by quelling the waves could one pass through the river safely.
Of course , their founders did not mean quelling the waves of the entire ck Water. After all, the ck Water was vast like an ocean and practically endless. No one could freeze the entire river even if they tried.
When their ancestors left the Kunlun Ruins, a man possessing an ice Magia had frozen a portion of the ck Water for everyone to cross over. That was why they decided to follow in their ancestors’ footsteps.
However, they never expected the entire ck Water to surge toward them like it had gone insane. It clearly desired with all its heart and soul to devour all of them.
If the ck Water could speak, it would surely say this, “I already allowed one piece of shit walk over my head, and now an entire group is passing through?! Do you think this is a tourist spot? I’ll fucking kill all of you!”
“Silver Moon, maintain the ice. Everyone, please cross the ck Water as quickly as you can.”
Jiang Yui ordered calmly, “Dao Brother Cyan Radiance. You take the left, I’ll take the right.”
Jiang Yui moved to the right and faced the ck waves copsing down on him. Cyan Radiance did the same on the other side of the ice bridge.
His face devoid of emotion, Jiang Yui hovered in the air as he made a pushing motion. The crashing waves of ck water immediately reversed its course fifty kilometers before it copsed in a helpless heap.
On the other side, Cyan Radiance gripped his ruyi scepter and unleashed waves and waves of clear light. When the ck water made contact with the clear light, it slowed down dramatically like a man who was caught in a quicksand.
While Jiang Yui and Cyan Radiance were handling the ck water attacking them from the sides, everyone else executed their Magia and movement art and dashed for the opposite shore as quickly as they could.
“Watch out!”
Unfortunately, they were still halfway there when suddenly, Silver Moon Sacred Lord nched and cried out in warning.
The next moment, the ice beneath the group’s feet shattered, and the ck Water assaulted them like angry dragons. Caught off guard, some of them were swept off their feet and pulled into the river instantly.
The victims struggled to break free with all their might, but it was futile. They were instantly dragged to the depths of the ck Water, dead.
The ck Water grew even more violent after the sessful assault. It continued to attack the rest of the group.
The Great Truemen and half Sages tried their best to resist the raging ck Water, but the effects were minimal to say the least.
