Chapter 1394 Terrifying Mallory Cultivator
“Kill them!” Zack loudly commanded his subordinates in the Gray family.
Following closely behind, Gregory casually waved his hand. It was an order to the cultivators from the Salladay family to attack the remaining four people from the Mallory family.
Seeing that the other three respectable families were turning against them, those people knew they had no way out. As such, they chose to overdraw their lives, activating their last resort.
Back then, Stellario, with his numerous parasites, was able to fight against dozens of people at the top of the Ascension Peak in South Outer City’s arena.
As such, when the four elders of the Mallory family employed their final technique together, they brought upon a terrifying sight.
The vitality within the four individuals surged wildly as they nourished all the parasite eggs suppressed in them.
Those parasites quickly awakened under the nourishment of the vast vitality and spiritual energy.
At that moment, the four great elders had completely given up their chance to escape. Astonishingly, they used their bodies as a furnace, allowing those insects to devour them.
“Suicide?” Eva furrowed her brows, looking toward the few people in the distance.
Meanwhile, Gregory subtly shook his head. “That’s not suicide. It’s corpse liberation! It’s one of the most terrifying trump cards of the Mallory family!”
As Gregory spoke, his hands were forming a technique. Vibrant Tiger, who was behind him, roared in fury and charged directly toward the four individuals.
Additionally, Zack and Graeme also hurriedly ordered their children to retreat.
While controlling the spiritual giant tiger to devour those bugs, Gregory casually explained things to Eva, who was standing at the side. “The Mallory family’s corpse liberation technique drains one’s life. When they find themselves in dire straits, they feed the parasites with their flesh and blood, nurturing the most terrifying blood parasite. The Mallory family’s everyday battles involve the use of parasites nourished by spiritual energy. Although these creatures are fierce, they follow only the commands of the people from the Mallory family to attack. These parasites, born gnawing at flesh and blood, have been driven to absolute madness due to the stimulation of blood. Moreover, with the death of the cultivators of the Mallory family, these parasites have completely lost control. If these things are not controlled, they will multiply wildly and devour everything in their path like a plague of locusts.”
He paused, then continued, “Over a thousand years ago, the development of the Mallory family was originally in Central Land. One day, a Divine Realm cultivator from the Mallory family utilized corpse liberation. As a result, the entire cultivator community of Chanaea nearly suffered devastating casualties. In the end, it took more than thirty families, in alliance with dozens of clans, to quell the pestilence. Subsequently, they all banded together to pressure the Mallory family into signing an agreement never to leave the mountains. This is also why the Mallory family, nestled in Centum Mountain, never leaves.”
Upon hearing that, Eva widened her eyes in surprise.
When she was learning about the history of the nine respectable families, she did see that the Mallory family was barred from entering Central Land.
However, the history book merely stated that it was because of the excessively sinister methods of the Mallory family. The public couldn’t accept it, so they banned them from entering Central Land.
As such, she was surprised to learn it was because everyone feared the Mallory family.
“Why not kill everyone in the Mallory family then?” Eva asked with some confusion.
According to the records, the Mallory family managed to avoid the most chaotic period of the war between the respectable families. The reason given was that they nestled within Centum Mountain.
Centum Mountain, once referred to as the wilderness, became a treasure trove of diverse species with the aid of technology.
After a while, everyone discovered that Centum Mountain might be the last blessed land for cultivators in Chanaea. However, when they found out that, the Mallory family had been in control of Centum Mountain for over a millennium. During that time, they had completely transformed Centum Mountain.
The place was teeming with innumerable snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Not only that, those poisonous creatures were extremely sensitive to spiritual energy.
If a cultivator ventured into Centum Mountain, they would likely die to those seemingly insignificant insects.
However, if the families and sects of the Central Land had initially killed all those people, the Mallory family wouldn’t exist.
Upon hearing that, Gregory let out a light chuckle. “You think others don’t want to? It’s because they don’t dare to!”
“They don’t?” Eva looked at Gregory with some confusion. “Over a thousand years ago, Centum Mountain was truly a barren land, Grandpa. If our ancestors were able to exile the Mallory family, it means they had already established control. Why wouldn’t they dare to?”
“Control?” Upon hearing that, Gregory sneered. “A single Divine Realm parasite cultivator almost destroyed Chanaea’s cultivation world. Can you imagine what the strength of the Mallory family was like back then?”
At that moment, Joshua, who was nearby, had walked up to Gregory. He and Eva were listening attentively to that legendary tale.
Even though the Whitley family’s legacy had remained for over two thousand years, Joshua was a spy, and there was a limit to his energy.
Even with the extensive records of the Whitley family, he couldn’t have completely memorized all that information.
That was his first time hearing about that account of the Mallory family.
Glancing at Joshua, who had come up, Gregory continued to speak. “At that time, the Mallory family had two powerful Cavoid Realm elites.”
Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing that.
Cavoid Realm and Divine Realm were two completely different cultivation levels. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say there was a world of difference between them.
A single Divine Realm member of the Mallory family nearly destroyed the entire Chanaea. As such, if those two Cavoid Realm cultivators from the same family had used corpse liberation, Chanaea might’ve become a land plagued with death.
Seeing the two youngsters stunned, Gregory chuckled. “Back then, many respectable families and sects still had the last remaining Cavoid Realm cultivators in existence. Killing the people of the Mallory family was easy for them. However, no one was truly confident that they could completely seal off the Mallory family’s parasites.”
Gregory didn’t continue any further.
However, the clear implication was that the two Cavoid Realm members of the Mallory family intimidated dozens of factions.
Rather than saying the Mallory family was exiled to Centum Mountain, it was more accurate to say they were forced to define their territory.
Back then, there were only two forces in Chanaea. One was called the Mallory family, and the other was everyone else.
Joshua cast his gaze upon those four elders.
At that moment, the four God Realm elders had unleashed a multitude of parasites with corpse liberation.
However, Graeme, Zack, and Gregory had completely sealed the insects within their spiritual field.
“The Mallory family has ultimately fallen,” Joshua said somewhat wistfully.
Flames roared and tumbled within the barrier, reducing all the corpse liberation insects to charred corpses. Not a single one managed to escape.
With a cold gaze, Gregory looked at the coffin behind Joshua. “As time passed, many of the parasites in the Mallory family were lost. Moreover, Cypress was schemed and killed by Jonathan. I’m really curious. What method did Jonathan use exactly? Why isn’t he coming out?”
Joshua glanced sideways at the coffin on his back, his gaze filled with solemnity. “He’s resting. We’ll discuss our future collaboration afterward!”
