Chapter 2105: Warmth (2)
The Sovereign's Ascension
âYe Qingtian is no threat. He has already lost his fangs after failing in his breakthrough.â
âWhat a pity for a genius like him to lose his fangs. Even if he manages to reach the Quasi-Saint Realm in the future, itâs hard for him to shine like before.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFangs are important to swordsmen. If it were Ye Qingtian from before, he wouldâve drawn his sword by now.â Many people shook their heads, thinking that Ye Qingtian had lost his fangs after failing to make a breakthrough to the tenth transformation of the Nirvana Stage.
The leader of the Divine Phoenix Mountain opened his eyes and said, âBai Yunfeng, you wanted everyone to wait, and the person youâve been waiting for is here. Itâs time for us to get started as well.â
This person was Ji Haoyu, a golden-generation genius from the Divine Phoenix Mountain who grasped a greater dao. His strength was deep and unfathomable, enveloped in a radiance that looked like flames.
Bai Yunfeng was speechless when he heard that. He was waiting for Bai Qingyu but didnât expect Bai Qingyu to bring Ye Qingtian over. But since Bai Qingyu was here, he nodded and said, âLetâs begin, then.â
The Heavenly Dao Sect and Divine Phoenix Mountain were the oldest holy lands within the Eastern Desolation, and the two forces have been competing for the title of the strongest holy land within the Eastern Desolation. So when Ji Haoyu and Bai Yunfeng gave the word, the competition for the Golden Lotus Flametree had officially begun.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, with screams resounding one after another. Shortly after, a few figures were sent flying over.
The spiritual array the Divine Dao Pavilion had set up outside violently shook before being destroyed the next moment.
This immediately made everyoneâs faces change. The disciples of the six holy lands guarding outside were heavily injured, drawing everyoneâs attention to the cave's entrance.
Right then, four figures walked into the cave side by side. There were three men and a woman, and they all wore luxurious robes. The four of them looked elegant, and they exuded powerful baleful auras. They didnât bother restraining their auras; anyone could tell with a glance that they werenât from the righteous path.
When Lin Yun looked at the four, he instantly noticed and recognized the woman donning the crimson robe. This woman was the Bloodclothed Venerable of the Blood Moon Sect. Two months ago, they even fought within the mountain range behind the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the other two were also venerables from the Blood Moon Sect.
âBlood Moon Sectâs Zhao Tianyu!â
âDamn it, why is it him?!â Someone exclaimed as they looked at Zhao Tianyu walking into the cave with a gentle smile.
Behind them, a group of people came in. They were the cultivators from other domains who were previously blocked out by the six holy lands.
Zhao Tianyu wore an azure robe, looking elegant. He didnât look like someone from the demonic cult, but he gave off a terrifying aura that instantly drew everyoneâs attention. With him around, it was as though he instantly became the center of attention in the world.
âThatâs the Blood Moon Sectâs Divine Son, Zhao Tianyu. He has been traveling around the Eastern Desolation during this period, seizing treasures everywhere,â Wang Yue explained to Lin Yun. But he had no idea Lin Yun had already met Zhao Tianyu.
Zhao Tianyuâs name alone carried a suffocating pressure, and everyone took a few steps back when he showed up. He was one of the strongest monstrous geniuses in this generation. Even if Bai Yunfeng had a strong reputation, he was still inferior to Zhao Tianyu.
When the venerables saw everyone stepping back, they all had mockery on their faces, signifying that the geniuses of Eastern Desolationâs holy lands were nothing.
âZhao Tianyu, what are you doing here?â Bai Yunfeng roared.
A youth donning an orange robe smiled, âIsnât it obvious? Weâre naturally here to retrieve the Golden Lotus Flametree. What else? Our divine cult gave the Golden Lotus Flametree to the Fleeting Sky Monastery ten thousand years ago.â
The faces of everyone from the six holy lands changed when they heard that, and their gazes became cold.
âA bunch of dogs from the demonic cult. Can you guys do whatever you want within the Eastern Desolation?!â
âTo retrieve something from ten thousand years ago, you guys are clearly trying to snatch it!â The Blood Moon Sect was infamous, and this was an ancient force that dared to challenge the Divine Dragon Empire. But with the six holy lands joining forces, they wouldnât let them take the Golden Lotus Flametree, no matter what.
The Divine Phoenix Mountainâs Ji Haoyu coldly looked at Zhao Tianyu, âZhao Tianyu, you want to challenge the six holy lands by yourself?â
âI wonât make a move. All the experts within the Eastern Desolation have gone to the God Burial Mountain Range, and Iâd be bullying you guys if I made a move,â Zhao Tianyu smiled.
âHow arrogant! Let me see where you get your confidence from!â The Ming Cultâs Xiao Yi, who challenged Lin Yun earlier, dashed over.
But Zhao Tianyu couldnât be bothered with Xiao Yi. He shut his eyes and said, âConsider it my loss if I even look at garbage like you. Itâs more like acceptable if you bring the Ming Cultâs Holy Son over.â
Xiao Yiâs face became ashen with the rage of flames blazing within his heart. But even he?didnât think he could fight Zhao Tianyu, he just wanted to test Zhao Tianyuâs strength. He wouldnât lose anything even if he was defeated. After all, it was enough for him to brag for a long time if he could exchange a few moves with Zhao Tianyu.
He gained confidence from provoking Ye Qingtian earlier, but he didnât expect that Zhao Tianyu wasnât even willing to take a look at him. Thus, he executed the Ming Cultâs martial techniques as a sun and a moon rose behind him, forming a âMingâ word. As yin and yang began to surge from his body, it manifested into armour around him.
He spoke of this Trigram Saint Armor and was confident that he could withstand ten moves with it in the hands of Zhao Tianyu.
When everyone saw the armor, their eyes lit up because Xiao Yi wasnât merely arrogant.
But someone laughed, and it was the blood-clothed woman behind Zhao Tianyu. She came over and stood before Zhao Tianyu before pushing her palm forth. Her figure might seem fragile, but her body contained a terrifying power that easily forced Xiao Yi to retreat.
âIt looks like youâre not exactly garbage since you can withstand a move from me,â the Bloodclothed Venerable smiled.
A Bloodfire Demon Flower bloomed beneath her. Her bloodline wasnât from a human or a demonic beast but more like a plant with powerful vitality.
Xiao Yi was aggrieved, but a crimson figure dashed over just when he wanted to speak. The Bloodclothed Venerable gave him a palm, shattering his Trigram Saint Armor, breaking his ribs, and a crimson beam pierced through his body.
When he flew out, he collapsed on the ground. No one knew if he was dead or alive, but this made the faces of Ming Cultâs disciples pale with fright.
Lin Yun could tell that the Bloodclothed Venerable had become much stronger. Although she might not have grasped a greater dao, she was much stronger since their last meeting.
