“My realm traversing technique has caught your attention? You have good taste!” Fang Yuan sneered. “Unfortunately… I definitely can’t trade this technique with you!”
The original realm traversing technique was already very well-developed and impressive. Needless to say, Fang Yuan had modified it and merged into his Dao of Dream Master.
Once he descended, he would take on the invisible form of a Skyfiend. Unless he was thoroughly exposed to a world’s will, it was very difficult for him to be exposed.
If the Sanguine Demon had obtained such a technique back then, it was unlikely he would be in such a terrible plight now.
The Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul was silent for a moment before calmly acknowledging it soon after. “This Magical Clone technique of yours… is truly very ingenious. I can even sense that if you were to die here, your true body wouldn’t be injured much!”
This was one of the reasons why he chose to compromise.
Being unable to completely annihilate his opponent and rashly breeding animosity was naturally very stupid.
“Let’s go!”
After composing himself for a moment, Fang Yuan stood up.
“Seems that… you’ve decided to make a trip to the Dragon Horse Plain?” The Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul was somewhat unwilling. “You don’t want to further strengthen me by a little? Currently, the Blood Imbibing Saber can at most contend with the fifth and sixth Demonic Armaments. But if you can find more of my fragments…”
“Haha… Great Sanguine Demon, do you know why you’re inferior to me?”
Fang Yuan gave a carefree laugh. “It’s necessary to conform with the world’s rules every time you arrive at a world. The rules of this world is the Martial Dao, which requires pushing forward bravely and fiercely. The Divine Armaments and Demonic Armaments are the main themes. How could I refrain from going to a gathering with so many Divine and Demonic Armament owners?
“The Divine Demon realm of martial artists… it’s a good opportunity for a breakthrough!”
Amid loud laughter, the youth leaped and instantly covered ten meters like a flickering shadow wielding a saber.
…
Dragon Horse Plain.
On a vast plain north of the Pugilistic Divine Continent’s central region, the heavens and the earth were dark and pale. As winds blew, cattle and sheep emerged.
It was late at night. Millions of stars were hanging in the sky, metamorphosing into a magnificent galaxy.
Sturdy grass withstood the strong winds, and sleeves fluttered in the breeze.
A group of people from the Pugilistic World were currently unleashing their lightness skills and hurrying on their journey amid this beautiful scenery.
Each of them had a grave demeanor and appeared composed. With one look, it could be seen that they were great experts.
As they unleashed their lightness skills, they seemed to rapidly fly across the land and dance across the grass.
The person at the front was wearing a flowing, white robe. He had a handsome appearance and a cold look in his eyes. It was the building master of the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building, Chen Qiyou!
After obtaining Divine Doctor Sacred Hands’ assistance, his eyes had changed into ones that released glimmers of life, but they occasionally revealed a trace of sadness.
Beside him, a middle-aged scholar asked, “So? Have you found the location of the Heaven Deity Palace?”
This person had a sanctimonious look and was named Kong Fanxing. He was the wielder of the Righteousness Ruler for the Kong family this generation.
Originally, he wanted to pursue the Blood Imbibing Saber owner, Sanguine Demon Nangong Wuwang, but after the defeat of Chen Qiyou, he immediately lied low and returned to the Kong family.
If not for the Heaven Deity Palace appearing, he would not have come out.
At this moment, he was looking at Chen Qiyou’s eyes with slight judgment and ridicule.
In terms of reputation, Chen Qiyou was the Building Master of the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building and had even wielded the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror, the fifth Divine Armament, being superior to him by a notch.
But now…
“Why are you so worried? The Heaven Deity Palace is connected with the stars and the earth veins… It’s said that this is the place where the Celestial Thearch Sword was born. How could it not be easily found?” Chen Qiyou said indifferently. Even without the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror, he seemed to be able to see through Kong Fanxing’s inner thoughts.
Why should I fear him? Kong Fanxing turned cold and soon felt somewhat humiliated. The Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror was stolen, and he’s merely an ordinary Heavenly Phenomenon now… Most importantly, this person is ruthless, and this pair of eyes was reportedly obtained from one of his direct descendants.
Of course, he was not foolish enough to reveal someone’s shortcomings.
After all, the Kong family was not any better when it came to their history. The pot should not call the kettle black.
“Enough. Build Master Chen’s Wind-and-Water Geomancy Technique is already the best among us, and only Ghosteye can match up to it. We should not have internal strife even before encountering the Demon Dao people.”
One of the people in this group spoke up first.
He was two-and-a-half meters tall and had an imposing physique. He carried a huge saber that was as tall as a person on his back and seemed to be the leader.
His words were like a large bell, causing others to subconsciously respect him.
His name was Ba Dao, and he was an inborn hegemon. He was indistinctly the leading person of the Orthodox Dao and wielded the Divine Armament—Spring Autumn Dragon Saber!
Spring Autumn Dragon Saber!
This saber was the third Divine Armament, only inferior to the lost Celestial Thearch Sword and the second Coiled Dragon Silk.
The Coiled Dragon Silk was the sect treasure of the Fairy Sect. Its criteria for accepting an owner was extremely strict, and its wielder had not yet appeared.
Thus, the Spring Autumn Dragon Saber was something that could suppress the destiny of the Pugilistic World’s Orthodox Dao!
Chen Qiyou gazed at the celestial bodies, calculated with his fingers, and said indifferently, “If my observations are correct, we can reach where the Heaven Deity Palace opens if we head east fifty kilometers!”
“Great!” Ba Dao nodded with slight passion in his eyes. “I heard that when Sky Fiend Dao Master left seclusion this time, he had already successfully suppressed the Sky Fiend Claw and put this Demonic Armament to use for himself! I wonder how many of my blows this claw and the Evil God Armor can withstand?”
The Sky Fiend Claw was second among the Demonic Armaments, only inferior to the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber, and where the foundations of the entire Demon Sect lied.
It could be said that without the Sky Fiend Claw, there would not be a Six Dao Demon Sect. It was equivalent to the imperial seal of a country.
If a Sky Fiend Dao Master holding the Sky Fiend Claw were to be defeated, that signified the complete defeat of the Demon Sect.
“This…”
Chen Qiyou could not speak after a long time.
If it was before, he would advise Ba Dao to try to refrain from fighting alone.
However, after being defeated by Nangong Wuwang, he had lost a little confidence but also saw something far more profound.
Divine Armaments and Demonic Armaments were not everything!
Otherwise, how could someone like him with the fifth Divine Armament be defeated by the tenth Demonic Armament?
*In fact, when speaking about armaments, the Celestial Thearch Sword is superior to all the Divine Armaments and Demonic Armaments, while the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber surpasses the Coiled Dragon Silk. A Fairy Sect predecessor became the owner of that Divine Armament and fought with the former master of the Demon Sect. She had slightly obtained the upper hand, so the Coiled Dragon Silk surpasses the Sky Fiend Claw… Going down layer by layer, the Divine Armaments are slightly better. Thus, the Orthodox Dao has the upper hand in the Pugilistic World! However, it’s different nowadays… *
No matter how much Chen Qiyou thought, he could not understand. Nangong Wuwang was a greenhorn and looked as if he was not even twenty years old. His Blood Imbibing Saber was only the tenth Demonic Armament, so how could he emerge victorious over him? This was entirely incompatible with the previous Pugilistic World concepts.
Therefore, although he knew that Ba Dao would suffer a slight disadvantage in weapons if he were to fight Sky Fiend Dao Master, he was still unable to determine the outcome.
*However, losing the Divine Armament may not necessarily have been entirely misfortune… *
Chen Qiyou looked at his hands as an intense power flowed secretly, similar to a crouching dragon in an abyss.
Although he had lost his Divine Armament, he did not lose his previous observations and experiences.
According to the Qi movements of many profound techniques that he saw before, he separated the wheat from the chaff and already improved his cultivation technique, naming it ‘Myriad Symbols Mystic Technique’. This technique had countless changes and could even mimic almost all martial arts under the heavens! This could completely be classified as heaven-grade.
It could be said that Divine Armament owners such as him each overflowed with innate talent and was an unparalleled prodigy. Even without a Divine Armament, they could still produce impressive achievements.
“If I had ten years of tireless cultivation, I could definitely take my revenge on Nangong Wuwang… This time’s Heaven Deity Palace is my best chance!”
There were Four Mutated Beasts inside the Heaven Deity Palace, and their blood could be refined into pills that lengthened lifespan. This was naturally true.
However, this palace contained profound theories on creation and grew many exotic flowers and fruits. Consuming one bunch could increase decades’ worth of cultivation power.
Otherwise, Chen Qiyou’s lifespan was still long, and he might not have paid much attention to this.
Although fifty kilometers was long, a martial artist could conquer it in a day.
Not long later, they arrived at the place Chen Qiyou had talked about.
Chen Qiyou calculated with his fingers and said confidently, “Hmm, the heavenly stars descend and the earth veins converge. This must be where the Heaven Deity Palace opens!”
“When will the Heaven Deity Palace open?” Kong Fanxing immediately asked.
“When the moon sets in the wee hours of the morning; when the seven stars string like pearls!”
There were always such descriptions in books, and Chen Qiyou would naturally not conceal anything intentionally.
“All right!”
Ba Dao directly sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and waited.
The group also composed themselves and quietly waited for the impending huge battle.
After some time, daybreak broke.
The bright moon gradually set, sinking into the horizon.
Numerous stars beside it lit up brightly and formed a line.
Bright starlight descended and seemed to connect with the earth veins.
When the moon sets in the wee hours of the morning; when the seven stars string like pearls!
Amid the glorious starlight, the earth quaked and the mountains shook.
The earth split and revealed a massive black hole.
“Heaven Deity Palace… finally opened!”
Kong Fanxing was ecstatic and wanted to enter the hole, but he was stopped by Chen Qiyou. “How can we lose our manners before the Demon Sect?”
“Haha!” Just as he finished speaking, an unpleasant laughter rang out. “Chen Qiyou, even though you’ve lost the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror, your eyes are as sinister as before.”
Three figures walked forward leisurely with Sky Fiend Dao Master leading them.
Behind him were two of his subordinates, one young and one old. The elder’s eyes were aggressive, and one eye had been dug out and replaced by a golden eye.
The other was a woman with the appearance of a young lady in the flower of her youth.
“Sky Fiend Dao Master! Ghosteye! And Lady Temptress!” Kong Fanxing said fearfully.
Without mentioning Sky Fiend Dao Master, Ghosteye and Lady Temptress were experts of the Demon Sect.
Among them, the Demonic Armament in Ghosteye’s right eye was called the Kuiniu Eye. It was rumored to be made from the eyeball of the ancient Mutated Beast, Kuiniu 1. Other than being able to see all directions, it could cause others to become spellbound and mentally disordered.
Lady Temptress was the Dao Master of the Mystic Lady Dao and wielded the fourth Demonic Armament, Mystic Yin Maiden Gonfalon, and together with the Heavenly Yin God Slaughtering Divine Technique, she had few enemies and stably held the second position in the Demon Sect.
It was rumored that the previous generation Mystic Lady Dao Master had charmed everyone under the heavens. She had seduced many Pugilistic World elders and famous young heroes, and only the sect master of the Fairy Sect had been able to defeat her. She was notorious.
“Sky Fiend Dao Master!!!” Ba Dao stood up and the Spring Autumn Dragon Saber behind him roared, as if there was a true huge dragon coiled up. “When I heard you left seclusion, I was excited because I finally found an opponent suitable for me to test the Dragon Saber. I hope you won’t disappoint me!”
