Qing`er was incomparably pure and holy, akin to a goddess. The maidens around her were naturally her fellow sect members from Matriarch Ji’s sect, they were acting as her protectors.
“I didn’t think that junior sister Qing`er would actually be the first among us to comprehend a dao element.” A young woman sighed. They were all proficient in spatial energy but among the many fellow disciples, Qing`er comprehended it the fastest.
“In the future, if someone among us sisters manages to comprehend a dao element, we cannot kill each other for it. We have to unite against others, understand?” A senior apprentice sister stared at everyone and spoke. All the maidens nodded. If there was another person among them who comprehended a spatial-type dao element as well, there might be cracks among their relationships. But before that, they would unite against all outsiders.
Among the spectators, there was a group of figures who were stocky in build. They wore luxurious purple robes and appeared like the royalty of humanity, yet they gave off a sense that they were not humans. Their eyes were extremely tiny, like that of rats. They are clearly a type of greater demons.
“What should we do?” They transmitted their voices to each other. Quite a few people turned their gazes to the person in the center. This person was more muscular than the others, but his frame was shorter in comparison. At this moment, his eyes gleamed with sharpness.
“Our boss has already spent many years comprehending this spatial dao element. We cannot allow others to threaten him. As long as there are any others attempting to comprehend the same dao element, we have to kill them all.” That person in the center replied with a voice transmission. The others respectively nodded, they continued conversing silently and they gradually spread out in a circle, slowly trapping the maidens of Matriarch Ji within.
“Huh?” Somebody sensed something was wrong.
“Those fellows, they are planning to act.”
“They are from the void beast race. These bastards are all extremely wretched beings, yet they are very united. Before this, they banded together and killed a supreme expert that was comprehending the spatial dao element. Now, they must be planning to act again.” The surrounding crowd conversed. Void beasts were all extremely famous in the City of Ancient Emperors. After all, it has been a long time since the rules of the city changed.
“What are you guys planning to do?” Upon seeing the commotion, the people of Matriarch Ji’s sect discovered that they were being surrounded by the void beasts.
“For those who have nothing to do with this, scram.” The void beast in the lead coldly spoke. After that, the crowd all backed away, not wanting to be implicated by this. Void beasts were considered extremely powerful royal-blooded greater demons and all of them had extraordinary abilities. But as long as they didn’t act against the crowd, none in the crowd would want to interfere.
“Careful, this bunch of ugly rats are planning to act against junior sister Qing`er.” A maiden coldly spoke. After that, the void beasts all bared their fangs and let out hissing noises, as a look of malevolence could be seen in their eyes.
“There’s nothing I hate most than people calling this king ugly.” The leading void beast exuded a fearsome pressure, transforming into a storm of demonic qi.
“Also, we are not rats. We are majestic void beasts.” Another void beast icily spoke. In reality, void beasts were a kind of rat kings which mutated a long time ago but they refused to admit that they were rats. Also, there was nothing they hated most than people insulting them, saying that they were ugly. The words of that maiden undoubtedly stabbed into their sore point.
In an instant, the violent surges of demonic qi transformed into a golden spatial storm of the void, ravaging its surroundings. The surrounding crowd all backed away. Although these void beasts were ugly, there was no need to doubt their strength. It was rumored that the old ancestors of the void beasts would even dare to clash head-on with the ancestral phoenix from the Southern Phoenix Clan.
“Void Boundary!” The disciples of Matriarch Ji’s sect all unleashed powerful spatial energy. In an instant, this entire space sparkled with spatial runes which transformed into the incomparably resplendent void boundary, blocking all external influences.
“Bzz, bzz, bzz~” However, the void boundary was useless to the void beasts. They easily bypassed it and rushed into the region. They then reverted to their original forms which were even more ugly compared to their human forms. They waved their claws and bared their fangs, lunging towards the maidens from Matriarch Ji’s Sect.
“As expected of void beasts, they are able to traverse the endless void with ease. Spatial energy is useless against them.” The spectators felt their hearts shaking. However, the disciples of Matriarch Ji weren’t people who couldn’t live up to their reputations. Although none of them could be considered a character standing at the peak of the City of Ancient Emperors, the vast majority of them were still extraordinary individuals.
Their fingers all pointed outwards, radiating terrifying spatial energy that weaved about in the air. The sky changed color as a fearsome diagram covered the area, formed by the convergence of different spatial diagrams, capable of annihilating everything.
“The ultimate art of Matriarch Ji, Immortal Slaying Diagram.” The eyes of the surrounding experts gleamed with sharpness, recognizing this innate technique.
The immortal diagrams were triggered by spatial energy but they are all different. Because, other than their proficiency in space laws, the other law attributes they are proficient in were all different. Hence, the giant spatial diagram that formed after convergence, had the ability to unleash all sorts of terrifying attacks.
“Minor tricks.” A cold voice rang out. The void beasts actually didn’t avoid the attacks. They all slashed out with their claws, causing numerous manifestations of claw attacks to launched out, tearing at that spatial diagram.
“BOOM!” One of the void beasts tore a hole open and dashed forth from there. After that, a scream of pain rang out as fresh blood splashed through the air. A maiden was injured, there was a terrifying wound on her face.
“Their original forms are truly rats.” The hearts of everyone trembled. The attacking speed of void beasts was too fearsome, but their speed and strength were clearly way above ordinary rat-type demons.
“Void beasts are considered the nemesis of those proficient in spatial law. They are innate space beasts and can even counter the spatial abilities of others, directly drawing upon spatial energy. Although these rats are ugly, their abilities are considered a blessing to them by heavens.” Someone mused.
The group battle instantly erupted, forming powerful aftershocks that ravaged the area. The crowd retreated far away, even the mountains in the surroundings started to crumble as cracks appeared on the ground. The experts from Matriarch Ji’s Sect were more passive in comparison. By right, the giant immortal slaying diagram formed by them should have a restraining effect on their opponents. But to these void beasts, their attacks were clearly not as effective as usual.
“Qing`er, careful!” At this moment, a voice rang out. One of the void beasts broke past the obstruction and directly rushed towards Qing`er who was in the midst of comprehending the dao element. His evil eyes flashed, even he felt a little pity that he was about to kill such a beautiful maiden.
Sharp golden claws were extended, shooting out thorns that pierced towards Qing`er. If one were hit by these thorns, they would definitely be ripped apart. The people spectating from afar couldn’t help but to feel fear in their hearts. This void beast actually acted, wanting to destroy Qing`er.
At this moment, countless resplendent spatial runes flowed around Qing`er, transforming into protective barriers. She opened her eyes, as she stabbed her finger out in an attack, causing the runes around her to form a spatial prison that directly trapped the void beast. This time around, the void beast was actually restricted.
“Yi…” A shrill voice called out. The void beast used his innate abilities, wanting to bypass the spatial barrier by stepping into the void. His body gleamed with a radiance but that was all. Nothing else happened. His ugly eyes couldn’t help but to flash with puzzlement.
Qing`er’s expression was cold. She blasted out a palm attack, forming an immortal slaying diagram that shot towards the void beast. A moment later, the void beast was actually absorbed into the diagram, forcefully bringing it into another dimension. A voice of agony rang out, causing the eyes of the other void beasts to shine with a murderous light as all of them rushed towards Qing`er.
Qing`er stood up, when she saw that her fellow apprentice sisters were injured and there was even one who died, killing intent immediately appeared on her face. Her silhouette flashed as she rushed out in a direction, joining the battlefield.
“This Evergreen Qing`er is so powerful. As expected of someone who had comprehended a dao element.” The surrounding experts were somewhat shocked by Qing`er’s combat prowess. She was able to fight against peak-stage immortal kings. However, even so, the Matriarch Ji’s disciples were clearly in the inferior positions. After all, void beasts were nemeses for those who were proficient in spatial law energy.
This battle caused an extremely huge amount of commotion, causing a spatial storm to rise up. More and more people from afar noticed and all of them gradually rushed over.
“What’s going on?” An icy voice suddenly rang out. Three figures suddenly stepped out from the void. The person in the center was extremely terrifying. Although he was ugly-looking, he radiated an overwhelming pressure.
“Boss, that female comprehended the dao element. Let’s eat her.” A void beast pointed his finger at Qing`er.
“She must be courting death.” Even if the void beast didn’t say anything, these experts who just arrived would naturally join in the battle when they saw the demons of their race fighting against humans. The center figure had a robe with royal designs on it. His robes fluttered with the wind as he grabbed outwards in the air. Momentarily, countless manifestations of claw attacks filled the air, shooting towards Qing`er, wanting to rip her apart. The entire space was flooded by the claw attack, and the attacking speed of each manifestation was extremely fast.
“Peak-stage of the immortal king realm, is he the king of the void beasts?” The hearts of everyone trembled. Qing`er did her best to defend but as an explosive sound rang out, a wound appeared on her arm, causing fresh blood to flow out.
“Vile creature, you dare?!” From afar, a violent sound echoed out loud, shaking the heavens and earth. The void beast king turned his gaze to afar, only to see a young and handsome figure rushing here. His face was expressionless as he continued attacking Qing`er, showing no mercy.
“BOOM!” The figure from afar punched out, his fist imprint was like a shooting star, causing the surrounding space to tremble as it tore through the void. With a deafening boom, the attack reached first although it was unleashed later. It was actually incomparably quick and had shattered the countless claw manifestations.
“It’s Jun Mengchen, he actually rushed over here. Seems like the battlefield is going to be expanded.” Everyone mused silently. During these ten years, Jun Mengchen was growing increasingly famous in the City of Ancient Emperors!
