Chapter 1457: Faking Death
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He projected out of his physical form!
âNo time to waste. Itâs our only shot at surviving this deadly tribulation!â The death banished immortalâs hand shot toward Braydon Neal.
An ominous black aura of death instantly engulfed Braydonâs entire being, masking his life force.
In that moment, Braydon appeared devoid of vitality, resembling a lifeless husk.
It was as though he were a corpse!
Even the martial arts banished immortal joined in, deploying a forbidden technique to cloak Braydonâs body entirely, shrouding the celestial omens and casting himself into a simulated state of death.
...
All the banished immortals concealed themselves within Braydonâs inner sanctum, refraining from emitting even the slightest hint of their essence to the external world.
Witnessing this, the death banished immortalâs emanation promptly mirrored Braydonâs.
His life force surged throughout his entire form.
Boom!
The golden lethal tribulation struck the death banished immortal.
It all unfolded in an instant.
The death banished immortal vanished completely from existence.
His form disintegrated under the onslaught of the golden tribulation, dissolving into threads of blackish energy before succumbing to the thunder tribulation.
The death banished immortal vanished utterly from the annals of existence.
His corporeal and spiritual forms were obliterated, beyond salvation.
Braydon, feigning death, clenched his fists with vehement resentment festering within him!
If only the Stone family hadnât cut off his last chance of fighting against the tribulation, Braydon would have been able to fight.
The death banished immortal neednât have perished, and the Foreman family banished immortal neednât have endangered his spirituality!
The two banished immortals wouldnât fall behind Braydon in the future.
Yet, in the end, one was obliterated in both body and soul, while the otherâs essence dispersed into nothingness.
It was akin to severing Braydonâs arms!
The Stone family had gained an immense blood feud!
Given Braydonâs temperament, heâd seek vengeance against the Stone family after today.
He likely couldnât restrain himself any longer!
The heavenly tribulation, altered significantly by the stimulation from over 2,000 individuals, had evolved beyond recognition.
Sensing Braydonâs apparent demise, the tribulation began to wane gradually.
Across the expanse, members of the Stone family felt an ominous shift.
While Braydonâs corporeal form remained intact, it neither grew nor diminished, seeming immortal and invulnerable.
His aura appeared stagnant.
Yet, observers noted that what perished seemed to be Braydonâs tribulation avatar.
Braydonâs true self remained unscathed!
If so, the sacrifices of the 3,000 Stone family members would have been in vain!
âBraydon isnât gone,â the young man who once called for his kin to embrace death uttered icily. âHeâs hoodwinking the heavens with a false demise!â
âWhat?â
With over 10,000 Stone family members present, the implications were clear: if Braydon survived today, theyâd face retribution when he emerged unscathed.
The Stone family was provoking a formidable foe.
âEnd him!â the young man declared coldly.
âIf we can goad him into retaliation and reveal his aura, the heavenly tribulation wonât fade. Instead, an even fiercer one will descend and finish him off.â
Some grasped the young manâs strategy.
Over half of the geniuses in the frost world were incensed.
The Stone familyâs actions were utterly contemptible!
Theyâd relentlessly targeted Braydon.
Previously, they spared no effort to twist Braydonâs heavenly tribulation into a deathly ordeal.
Yet even after Braydon paid a hefty toll to survive, the Stone family remained relentless.
âYou!â a robust man bellowed. âYou Stone family lot are despicable and treacherous. Youâve gone too far!â
âThose who leave a path for survival leave a way out for themselves.â
âYou wish to become adversaries with the Stone family?â The young manâs tone chilled the room.
His words cast a pall of silence.
The might of the Stone family was enough to give pause to many.
However, not everyone was convinced.
âSo what if Iâm your Stone familyâs foe?â a carefree youth remarked coolly. âYou donât hold the authority to lead this Hall of Souls. One might think your Stone family has already seized mastery over the Spirit Sea!â
âSverre Fulmer!â
A flicker of apprehension flashed in the Stone family youthâs eyes.
Sverre wasnât affiliated with any major faction, yet he had a powerful teacher.
That teacher was an overlord amongst the rogue cultivators of the Spirit Sea.
His might was formidable!
All the major factions had to give him some face.
Sverre was the last disciple of that ancient master, and the old man usually doted on him.
Besides, his senior siblings werenât any less formidable.
Even the Stone family hesitated to provoke Sverre.
âSverre,â the youth said nonchalantly. âBraydon must perish today. If you intend to intervene, donât blame me for being ruthless!â
âI do intend to intervene today!â
An object materialized in Sverreâs grasp: a colossal silver axe.
It was a top-tier saint weapon!
A holy masterâs armament!
The youthâs countenance soured, his eyes akin to serpents as he snarled, âSlay! Slay Braydon today! Slay all who obstruct our path!â
âYes, sir!â
The youth appeared to be the Stone familyâs leader.
Instantly, a ferocious melee erupted!
Wielding his greataxe, Sverre launched into the fray with increasing ferocity.
His axe seemed capable of rending the very fabric of reality.
He clashed with the Stone family cultivators, relentlessly cutting down foes.
Blood painted the scene as he bellowed to the heavens, âHaha, splendid! Wretched Stone family, Iâve long yearned to vanquish you. I merely lacked the opportunity!â
âHmph, youâre asking for death!â
The Stone family youth covertly instructed his allies to encircle and gravely wound Sverre.
If they couldnât, they were to kill him.
Today, Braydon must fall!
Meanwhile, Braydon remained in a state of suspended animation, all his strength held in check.
He dared not unleash even a trace of his mental power.
If the heavenly tribulation sensed it, it would undoubtedly rain down a bolt of thunder.
At that point, everything the death banished immortal had accomplished would be for naught.
Unaware of the new carnage unfolding around him, Braydonâs most pressing need was time!
A heavenly tribulation spanning a hundred thousand miles.
It would take time for it to completely disperse!
At least a day would be needed!
Within that day, the Stone family had ample opportunity to strike and eliminate Braydon.
Chaos engulfed the entire frost world.
The Stone family had long been wreaking havoc in the Hall of Souls for years.
Many couldnât tolerate their actions any longer!
Sverre took the lead, prompting others to follow suit.
Some acted covertly, quietly killing Stone family members who crossed their paths.
The young man finally sensed that something was amiss.
Upon closer observation, he discovered that his kinsmen were steadily dwindling.
A portion fell to Sverreâs hands, while the rest were silently eliminated, their bodies nowhere to be found.
Sverre noticed this too, chuckling brightly.
âWhy hide our intentions if we wish to rid ourselves of these scoundrels? Letâs attack and wipe them out. Erase all evidence. When the Stone family seeks retribution, they wonât dare strike us without proof!â
âYet, if we leave them alive, do you believe those who struck covertly today will be able to escape the Stone familyâs retribution?â
Sverreâs words struck a chord with some cultivators.
Having initiated action, retreat was no longer an option.
The Stone family would inevitably seek vengeance.
Rather than waiting, it was better to unleash their wrath today.
Chaos ensued once more.
Lines between friend and foe blurred.
At this juncture, only the others and the Stone family members remained distinct!
The Stone familyâs arrogance and tyranny had reached every corner.
Now, they would finally face the consequences!
