Hengluo Sea
In a marvelous place covered by a mysterious halo under the sea of the Sun, Moon, the Star Islands…
A mesmerizing figure stood in the moonlight, taking a bath in a pond. Countless dots of moonlight essence gathered and glinted on her jade porcelain like pure white body.
She was standing in the pond like a fairy maiden with an ethereal aura of a holy being.
She was the Moon God, Charlotte Orpheus.
In the moonlight pond, she seemed to not bother with the annoying outer world, nor the raging waves of the Endless Sea. She was freely enjoying the moonlight entering her body, as she was taking each of her steps with caution on the way to the true goal of a warrior.
But today was an eventful day because a certain uninvited guest has come to meet them.
One man and one black iron puppet followed Sun God’s Tyler Cyrus guidance and calmly walked to the moonlight pond under the attentive looks of the other disciples of the Three Gods Sect.
Elders of the Three Gods Sect couldn’t hide their bright eyes, looking at him and the puppet behind him with surprise, whispering to each other.
“He had disappeared from the Endless Sea for sometime. During this time, where did he go?”
“Who knows. At present, the situation of the Endless Sea is so complicated. Not only the Dark Dwellers and the Demon Dwellers want to kill him, Others also consider him an eye-sore and pain in the ass. Before he gets strong enough, getting back to the Endless Sea isn’t a wise move.”
“Yeah, this kid has an endless potential. He could become the pillar of our Gods Sect in the future. He just needs to go out and cultivate until he reaches the God Realm. At that time, when he comes back to the Endless Sea, he can establish a footing without being afraid of the oppressors.”
“Yeah, he came back a little bit earlier than expected.”
“…”
The disciples of the Three Gods Sect held surprised faces, discussing quietly.
The person who have come here is obviously none other than Leylin. After making arrangements with Yashir and a deal with Nate Barrington, Leylin decided to make the Endless Sea a bit more eventful.
Leylin has already made his mind to leave Endless Sea, and sail in his future warrior journey in Divine Land but obviously not without taking care of all of the nuisance beforehand.
Previously he just came here to take care of some business fulfilling the destiny and calling of Immortal Blood divination and gather all that he needed but with the addition of War Devil to his already bloated roster of amazing lifeforms and Trump cards, Leylin concocted a deliberate plan to look for better opportunity.
Not only would his new plan would let him rest easy dealing with all of his foes but most importantly it would let him participate in a high level confrontation and before half a dozen high level warriors, which has a potential let him be enlightened and breakthrough again.
Leylin has already reached the Peak of Sky Realm, and he’s been working nonstop to solve the mysterious of the Spirit realm and step into the God realm. His earth shaking powers and ability to fight at Spirit realm and against Spirit realm warriors is obviously a great advantage but he’s still a bit shy from ultimately reaching the final epiphany and comprehension.
‘Forgive me for dragging you into this but I need to borrow your powers as well to achieve my goals.’ Leylin smiled, feeling not so guilty at all.
He was slowly walking with Tyler Cyrus under the attention of the Three Gods Sect’s disciples. He was going to meet the Moon God Charlotte officially.
The Sun, Moon, and Star Gods of the Three Gods Sect of this generation had finally met in the sacred land.
The Moon God had the moonlight meandering around her while the moonlight above enveloped her.
Although the distance was close, Leylin couldn’t see her appearance clearly. He could only feel the immortal, ethereal aura on her body, which gave people a vague but immense sense of aesthetic.
“Lord Tyler,” He clasped his fists to greet Tyler, then shifted his look to Charlotte, and spoke “Greetings to Moon Goddess. Although I have had the honor to watch your highness in action but we never met officially.”
“Hahaha… Berkan, it’s great that you come here.” Tyler smiled and received Leylin greetings with a smiling face but inwardly he was shocked silly. He and Charlotte can both clearly perceive that Leylin has actually not only stepped into Sky realm but is also at the Third Sky!
How long has it been since he’s been missing? In just a small amount of time, he had such a huge leap in strength.
Tyler couldn’t help but glance at Charlotte, Leylin talents are even more freaky than hers. Although Charlotte has made swifts breakthrough at bottleneck speed, but one cannot forget she had the support of a thousand years of moonlight absorbed by her Moon Marital Spirit.
In terms of sheer talent, Leylin is definitely a notch higher than her but then again without reaching God Realm Leylin cannot be a match for her.
But Tyler knows that if and when he does cross that threshold, considering from his outlandish display of military strength Leylin could be a threat to even the daughter of heavens Moon Goddess Charlotte Orpheus.
“Lord Tyler, I would be direct to you about my reason of coming here.”
“Hmm.. ” Tyler who was about to invite Leylin couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
“Berkan, you are the inheritor of Star God Marital Spirit and will, and although you haven’t stepped into God Realm. You are still a valuable member and rightful owner of Star Island. We are of same status, and you don’t need to be so formal.” Tyler said with a smile. Tyler assumed that Leylin wanted to gather his powers and establish his status in the Three God Sect.
“You are flattering me, how can I dare.” Leylin smiled in return but he inwardly rolled his eyes. Leylin kept talking with Tyler for sometime without end, Tyler was praising his talent before everyone trying to highlight his talent and good character to mend the hearts of elders.
Tyler was in a was trying to help Leylin establish prestige and give him a hand and he should be grateful but the thing is he isn’t here for claiming his Star God rights!
‘What a pain, for a guy who’s speaking this much he isn’t saying a lot. Talking nonsense without end is kinda like forte of all the warriors rather than speaking and talking I should just get to it. Although it would be suspicious, I can act innocent.’
Leylin glanced at Charlotte who didn’t speak at all, while sneakingly sending a thought to the War Devil
Charlotte Orpheus who remained indifferent looking at Leylin suddenly swifted her eyes to the puppet behind him. There were questions and confusion in her eyes.
“What’s this?”
“Oh this… I found this guy because of some good fortune, it’s a very useful bodyguard. It’s only because of this puppet existence that I can come to Endless Sea without any fear.” Said Leylin with a hint of suspense.
Charlotte looked at the puppet and although she found it to be odd, she couldn’t see anything extraordinarily special.
“I think that this thing can even give Your highness a run for her money.” Leylin laughed with confidence which looked stupid in everyone’s opinion.
A puppet fighting against the Moon Goddess, what a joke!
Tyler and Charlotte looked at the puppet together, obviously in great doubt of Leylin words authenticity but they can’t just rebuke or scold him.
Although his words are a bit too much, Leylin is a great talent and a strong warriors himself. Obviously if he’s so confidence the strange puppet should be special but for him to compare it to her, it just shows his inability to gauge her power.
‘Let’s see if you are really worth all the hype.’
Leylin didn’t waste his time explaining but rather sent his thought, and with that the deep, dark pupils of Leonidas Larrington’s Dark Body shot out two blood lights.
Immediately, an evil, intimidating, earth-destroying aura spread out from him as the center, covering the whole sacred land of the Three Gods Sect.
Under this earth-destroying aura, all Three Gods Sect’s disciples felt their mind and soul both shaken just like a massive mountain was pressing on them! Except for Tyler and Charlotte, everybody now felt a pressure that they couldn’t even move or breath normally.
Some warriors with low cultivation base trembled and fell. They were sweating while feeling all of the powers in their bodies get drained. They looked really distressed.
The Elders of the Three Gods Sect paled as fear sparked in their eyes.
Tyler opened his eyes wide, stunningly looking at the War Devil. He contemplated for a long while before speaking up, “This surging energy’s so strong. I think even the Demon Kings could only have this degree of powers.”
Half a minute later, Charlotte, who was covered wholly in the moonlight, nodded with surprise. “Seems like you are truly not just exaggerating.”
‘Oh you finally spoke. Unfortunately time to chat is over, with such a huge commotion they would be coming here.’
Leylin curled the corners of his mouth into a smile, sending another thought to make the War Devil retreat its subduing aura.
The sinister aura and pressure were like a water tide rushing back to the sea, withdrawing into the War Devil’s body. Within the time of one breath, the terrifying pressure enveloping the whole sacred place of the Three Gods Sect disappeared into thin air as if it’d never been there.
If there weren’t someone with trembling legs and sweating, sitting on the ground, perhaps they would think that the previous pressure was just a hallucination.
“I want to have some words ,” Leylin’s look raked around, signaling that there were so many people in the surroundings.
“Okay, everyone get back to your work.”
“It’s…” Waiting until everyone went out of sight, Leylin started to talk to them about his plans.
…
At the same time…
The Divine Sword Land of Hengluo Sea, which used to be the ancestral hall of the Gunther family, was now the temporary palace of Demon King Chemosh.
On the high summit, Demon King was sitting cross-legged. He was a member of the Black Scale Clan, his body majestic with a black scale armor.
At this moment, Chemosh suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils sparked with strange beams of light.
“Such a powerful force.”
He muttered as his hands cast an odd seal formation. Numerous dots of light radiated from the seal, just like he was letting his Soul Consciousness run to Hengluo Sea.
Not long after that, ten beams of brilliance shot out from his fingers, entering wholly into the seal formation.
Inside the seal, a strange, sacred place on the seabed, which was covered with some barrier, appeared and then disappeared.
“It’s the sacred place of the Three Gods Sect. Seems like something strange happened there. Did that girl demonstrate that formidable strength? No, it’s not true. That evil force doesn’t go the same way as the cold and clear moonlight on that woman’s body.”
Chemosh furrowed his brows in contemplation.
Swoosh!
A foreign lightning shot from afar towards his position.
“The Soul Consciousness Spear of Apollyon.” He extended his arm and snatched. A giant hand appeared in the void, seizing that Soul Consciousness Spear.
He felt it for a while and then suddenly got up, stepping forward. It was like he had crossed the space. Within only one step, he had left the Divine Sword Island to the location of the Three Gods Sect’s Sun, Moon, Star Islands.
The Snow Dragon Island.
Demon King Apollyon released a flow of Soul Consciousness, then turned into a dark, gloomy ghostly light, shooting towards the Sun, Moon, Star Islands.
The two Great Demon Kings understood each other well as they didn’t beat the drum to summon warriors of the demon tribes and just acted alone. They seemed to spot something, gliding through the space.
….
Sun, Moon, Star Islands.
Charlotte and Tyler discolored at the same time.
The change of the outside barrier made them realize something. Many disciples of the Three Gods Sect were terrified, looking at the barrier with fear on their faces.
Leylin knew exactly what was happening because this is exactly what he wanted but he still acted innocent. Together with the Three Gods Sect’s members, he looked at the barrier with a ‘puzzled’ face.
“What’s happening?”
“They found us,” Tyler’s countenance was solemn. “Ever since they came, both Demon Kings have been looking for the Three Gods Sect’s sacred place. The barrier outside our sacred place could prevent all soul consciousness probes. Although Demon Kings have a deep understanding of esoteric teachings, they could hardly cover this place with their soul consciousness.”
“So what happened now?”
“Your puppet has released a very formidable surging energy that even this barrier couldn’t hide.” Tyler forced a smile. “Apollyon and Chemosh all have divine abilities, and now their real bodies are in the Hengluo Sea, too. Within this short distance, they can sense it.”
“Ah.”
Leylin changed his face with regret. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know it. I was careless this time.”
“It’s useless saying sorry,” Charlotte made a quick decision. “There’re many disciples with low realms in the sacred place. If we let them intrude, they will destroy the sacred place and these weak disciples wouldn’t survive.”
“What do your propose?”
“Will this puppet be able to fight off the powers of the Third Sky of Spirit Realm warriors?” Charlotte asked in a serious tone.
“It can.”
“Good then. We now go to the Sun Island and wait for them. We are the targets of the two Great Demon Kings. If we leave the sacred place, they won’t go there to find us.” Charlotte with Leylin and Tyler left to Sun Island waiting for the two incoming Demon Kings.
Two eccentric surging beams of soul consciousness covered Sun Island right when they disclosed themselves. These beams of surging soul consciousness were like rippling water, probing the whole island.
“The Two Great Demon Kings will both come.” Charlotte’s tone didn’t have any fear, calmly comforting those around her. “They are in a hurry this time. I think they won’t bring hotshots from the Demon Tribes. As long as your puppet can deal with a Demon King, I can lengthen the time. We will wait until the change of the earth-shaking powers calls the attention of the hotshots in the adjacent sea areas. I think Owen and the others won’t stay still and would join us.”
Leylin nodded taking a passive role. He was actually calculating inside, according to his deal with the Sea Tribe all arrangements should be in place.
Stroking the Blood Vein Ring, Leylin contacted the Ring Spirit.
With just a flash, Leylin, who had only a Sky Realm cultivation base, released an extremely violent surging energy.
It could be compared to a spirit Realm warrior!
“Come out!”
Leylin commanded. The mysterious giant sword turned into a blood beam that shot out from the Blood Vein Ring, falling into his palm.
When the giant sword touched his palm, the sinister, brutal aura on his body became denser.
Behind him stood the War Devil. When it saw the mysterious giant sword appear, blood light flashed in its dark pupils, revealing a trace of respect.
The King of Demonic Insects, a level eight beast, also flew out, perching on his right shoulder respectively. It’s small eyes sparkled with vicious light.
These series of changes happened in a flash.
In just a blink, Leylin’s whole momentum has changed. He went from zero to hundred in just a second, currently he didn’t look like a genius young warrior worthy of attention but instead an unmoving mountain capable of bearing the weight of the world.
Although everyone knew about his outstanding feat of killing Demon Master Mahishaasur, all the warriors from the Three God Sect including Tyler and Charlotte were shocked to fell his unbearable pressure.
It can be clearly seen, that Leylin didn’t achieve his previous victory because of any external force but instead his own powers. It seems he is ready, willing and more than able to fight with his shocking momentum once again.
Leylin hauled out the mysterious giant sword, and summoned the King of Demonic Insects. The murderous aura on his body soared as he now had the formidable power to confront the Spirit Realm warriors.
Tyler and Charlotte dropped their jaws in awe.
“Truly a monster!”
Tyelt was dumbstruck for a long while. He suddenly beamed a forced smile and shook his head. “You fella, you aren’t human. With the Third Sky of Sky Realm, you can possess such abilities and backups. No wonder why you dare to come to Hengluo alone. You don’t even bat an eye on hearing that the Demon Kings are coming!”
Tang Yuan Nan had a profound knowledge; of course, he could see the level of the King of Demonic Insects and how dangerous it was.
Even Charlotte couldn’t help but nod her head and exclaim, “Worth being the descendant of Gods.”
Standing on the Sun Island, Charlotte and Tyler wore solemn faces, looking at the expanding ghostly clouds in the sky. They knew that the two Great Demon Kings were about to arrive.
Indeed, not long after that, two figures appeared on the ghostly clouds.
In just a blink of an eye, those two figures descended on the Sun Island, standing in front of Leylin and the others.
The Demon Kings Chemosh and Apollyon, the two peak warriors of the Demon Area, had finally arrived at the Sun Island. Chemosh came from the Black Scale Clan, and Apollyon came from the Dragon Horn Clan. They were both three meters tall with hefty builds. Intimidating surging energies were rippling from their bodies.
The main characters had arrived.
After they had come, Chemosh glared at Leylin and laughed with a surprised face. “Didn’t expect you’re here, too.”
Apollyon was bewildered for a while, his eye cold and gloomy. “You are the brat that killed Mahishaasur?”
Leylin smiled and nodded, “It’s true. I am Berkan Lenoir, great grandson of King Abaddon Alaister.”
“Good then,” Apollyon harrumphed. “The Three Gods Sect has been hiding in the sea for long. Well, this time that you dare to come out, I assumed you are tired of being alive. If the Three Gods Sect surrenders, I will let you control the territory that belongs to you. But if you go against us, today, I’ll erase the name of the Gods Sect from the Endless Sea.”
“Stop babbling,” Charlotte said, “If you want to eradicate the Three Gods Sect, let’s see if the two Demon Kings here have good taste or not.”
“The terrific aura that came out from the sea doesn’t belong to you.” Chemosh was still cautious, observing everywhere; he seemed to be trying to find out the targets. However, he couldn’t see anything abnormal. He was more surprised. “Who did that?”
The War Devil had hidden its aura, and the surging energy of its body had disappeared. Even the two Great Demon Kings couldn’t figure it out.
This showed that although the War Devil was just a black iron puppet, it had something special. Even the Demon Kings who had the Third Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base couldn’t find it, which revealed the extraordinary features of the puppet.
“Let’s deal with you them, Owen Caddell is in the Tuta Sea. He’s always paying attention to things here. If he comes here, it’s going to be tough for us then.” Apollyon was calm, as he said with frowning brows, “This battle shouldn’t go on for too long.”
Chemosh understood the matter well.
Right after that, thick clusters of black clouds drifted over, covering the whole Sun Island in just a blink.
The light at twilight couldn’t pierce through those ghostly clouds.
The light on the Sun Island dimmed. A huge pressure pressed down from the ghostly clouds, just like a big mountain pounding on the hearts of Leylin’s group.
When the ghostly clouds pressed down, Demon King Chemosh took action first. He opened his mouth and spurted out ghostly spheres, each of them pitch-black and carrying a rippling energy like water waves.
Ten ghostly spheres lined up, forming a bizarre ghost formation. Loud impacts constantly arose from it.
Under the noisy impact, some shattered structures in the Sun Island were trembling as they couldn’t bear the pressure, about to collapse.
The ten ghostly spheres circled, taking in the energy of the ghostly clouds in the sky. Their size was increased from fist-size to a human head size. At the same time, the rippling energy inside the spheres was vibrating magically. It seemed like they had an evil force that could seal the whole space.
BOOM!
All of a sudden, ten ghostly spheres burst off.
Beams of ghost light spluttered out from the inside, weaving a black cocoon covering the sky over the Sun Island.
The earth and heaven essence Qi gathering year-round on the Sun Island seemed to be confined directly, unable to move with the wind anymore. Under that massive cocoon, the heaven and earth essence Qi was dispersing, discharging from the Sun Island.Demon tribes didn’t need to borrow the essence Qi from earth and heaven.
The thick, ghostly clouds in the sky hindered the moonlight, sunlight, and starlight, preventing them from continually supplying to the three Great Martial Spirits of Sun, Moon and Star.
Next, Chemosh took action.
Both of his hands were pulling something from the void. Then, a giant demonic dragon was pulled down from the ghostly cloud. This demonic dragon was made from his energy, looked true to life, and hiding a terrifying surging energy in its body.
He had pulled down twelve demonic dragons in total. Each four of them grouped, attacking Leylin and the others separately.
“Kill!” Leylin remained unfazed under the huge pressure and said.
The eyes on the mysterious giant sword in his hands opened. At the same time, a strong, evil world-destroying aura gushed out from the War Devil standing behind him all of a sudden.
Dark halo bloomed on the black iron body of the War Devil. His dark heart pounded as he extended one arm, snatching the oncoming demonic dragon.
Chemosh and Apollyon had their eyes lit up, looking at the War Devil.
At this moment, no one dared to be careless watching the aura expand from the War Devil. It even frightened the Demon Kings.
The War Devil stretched its arms. The dark light blinked in its palm, and a large, pitch black hole appeared. It seemed to be able to devour all the light, and was like the most mysterious black hole in the galaxy that could even drag all the stars in.
The four demonic dragons plunging towards Leylin were wiggling crazily even before they could reach him. The dark hole on the War Devil’s palms was enlarging. Within three seconds, it expanded to the size of the abyss in hell, flying out from the War Devil’s palms like a giant mouth of a ferocious beast, swallowing the four demonic dragons.
The four demonic dragons struggled in the air in an attempt to get rid of the devouring force of the dark hole. However, the more they moved, the closer to the hole they got. Eventually, the four demonic dragons had turned into four beams of dark light, disappearing into the pitch black hole of the War Devil.
“What foreign thing is that!”
Chemosh discolored. Looking at the War Devil, his face stiffened.
Before he came here, he didn’t expect to meet such a bizarre thing. It could release a tremendous aura, and it seemed to have intellect. This made him instinctively tense.
The War Devil acted as ordered.
Its body was like a beam of dark light, appearing in front of Demon King in just a flash. Dark light bloomed on its black iron armor. An earth-destructing aura covered the entire Hengluo Sea from the puppet.
Chemosh wore a stony face. He couldn’t help but be more cautious, pouring out all of his powers to counter the War Devil.
‘A. I. Chip, begin autopilot with whole calculation power.]
[Beep! Activating Imperial Soul Imprint simulation!]
Two dark lights intertwined above the Sun Island. Wherever they passed, land slid, and the earth split apart.
Although the War Devil was just a chunk of iron, its reflexes were fast as lightning, with the aura like a rainbow. Unexpectedly, it could perform all kinds of mysterious martial arts that could hardly be predicted and act with extreme agility. It’s moves and control of situation was unbelievable perfect without an inch of possibility of breakthrough.
Under the urge of its dark heart, the dark energy on its body was torrential as it was playing hard on Chemosh without falling into a disadvantage.
Holding the giant sword, Leylin was calm, watching the War Devil and Chemosh fight. He cracked a cold smile while seeing mountains get leveled where the other two passed by.
The War Devil operated by A. I. Chip didn’t fail him.
Even Demon King Chemosh couldn’t gain the upper hand while fighting against the War Devil.
All kinds of earth-shaking attacks from Chemosh were blocked by the black armor on the puppet. At the same time, the armor didn’t have any signs of being cracked or broken.
Quite the contrary, dark light radiating on it became more dazzling, revealing a solid cold aura.
“This puppet follows your orders, Alaister boy?” Apollyon didn’t take action yet. He frowned, looking at the War Devil and Chemosh fighting. Ghost light shone from his pupils like lanterns that could take people’s souls away.
“Hahaha It does esteemed Demon King,” nodded Leylin.
“Then I have to kill you first.”
A light crossed over Apollyon’s eyes as he swung his left arm. A giant white claw appeared in the sky. It was transparent like white jade, with patterns that looked like its veins where strange energy was moving. The white claw was like a mountain with its five fingers as five hooks, pressing down on Leylin.
