novelA Battle between Peak Experts
| ← Ch.1130 | Ch.1132 → |
Powerful human experts from different sects, outsider grand patriarchs and grand monarchs, along with titans, dragons, and Ancientbeasts, were now gathered in the Dead Star Sea.
Countless renowned figures from almost every known higher species had traveled through the starry river to this place.
All of them shared the same purpose: to witness the battle between Grand Monarch Primal Demon and Mo Heng.
A teleportation portal in the Demon's floating stronghold that connected to the First Demon Realm suddenly glowed and expanded.
WHOOSH!
An exceptionally handsome high-tier Demon walked elegantly out of it, dressed in ancient Demon garb.
As soon as he arrived, all of the outsiders in his surroundings bowed towards him with great respect.
While members of the other races greeted him in soft voices, the Demons received him with feverish looks in their eyes.
"Greetings, Grand Monarch Primal Demon."
"Greetings, Grand Monarch."
"Greetings, Chief!"
It was surprising that this Grand Monarch Primal Demon looked younger than any of the Demon experts present.
His eyes were bright and piercing, as if they contained an everlasting thirst for knowledge.
On the berthed human starships, many human God and Saint domain experts took deep breaths and said with grim faces, "That's him!"
"That's Grand Monarch Primal Demon!"
"The chief the Demon clan!"
"Nie Tian hasn't returned yet, has he?" Fang Yuan asked in a low voice."Were his injuries so bad? This is going to be a crucial battle. Doesn't he want to witness it?"
"I don't think he's coming, " Han Wanrong, who had recently returned to the Dead Star Sea, explained in a low voice."He suffered serious injuries from his battle against Ophelia. He needs time to recover. Besides, we're not sure where the battle between Grand Monarch Primal Demon and the grand elder is going to take place. Even if it were going to take place here in the Dead Star Sea, not everyone will be able to actually capture the details."
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and nodded."That's right."
In the blink of an eye, Grand Monarch Primal Demon flew out of the Demons' stronghold, and stopped in front of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace's starship. Elegant and mild, he smiled and said, "Brother Mo."
SHEW!
A spatial rift suddenly split open over the Void Spirit Society's starship.
The Void Mirror, a signature tool that was known by all races, flew out of it to face Grand Monarch Primal Demon.
A soul shadow flickered within the mirror, as if to observe the events from a different space.
Everyone knew that the Void Mirror represented Qu Yi, the current sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society. The fact that it was here meant that he could arrive through it any time he wanted.
WHOOSH!
A ball of flames suddenly appeared where the Five Elements Sect disciples were gathered, searing like the sun.
"That's the head of the fire element sect!" someone exclaimed.
Lou Hongyan hastily approached and paid her respects.
At the same time, a soothing aura that could nourish heaven and earth quietly emerged in the Five Elements Sect's gathering place as well.
Many Floragrim experts captured the aura from afar, their expressions becoming strange as they did.
They knew that the head of the wood element sect was the only one whose command of wood power could match that of their grand monarchs.
"The heads of the fire element sect and wood element sect are here, " someone whispered."This proves how much importance the Five Elements Sect attaches to this duel."
It was at this moment that Mo Heng slowly walked out from below the deck of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace's starship with a calm look on his face.
Facing Grand Monarch Primal Demon, he adopted a human manner as a junior would facing a senior."I'm honored and grateful that you agreed to fight me in this duel."
Demons had exceptionally long lifespans. As they grew older, their bloodlines grew stronger as well.
Since Grand Monarch Primal Demon was already several hundred thousand years old, he should be considered a senior to Mo Heng in every sense.
Grand Monarch Primal Demon took a deep look at Mo Heng with his sharp, intelligent eyes before saying in an approving tone, "Among the humans I know, you carry the finest traditions of the ancient Qi warriors. When the ancient Qi warriors first derived the profound truths of the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and started using spiritual materials to strengthen themselves, they didn't pay special attention to the different attributes of power.
"According to them, spiritual power itself contained myriad profound variations and wonders. Even though it doesn't have any particular attributes, it carries unfathomable power.
"But later, as times changed, new generations of Qi warriors found ways to vest spiritual power with fire, wood, lightning, and other attributes. They gradually deviated from the original law of cultivation.
"Now, I'm afraid there are only a couple of Qi warriors who stick to the ancient ways and focus solely on the cultivation of pure spiritual power."
Thanks to his long lifespan, Grand Monarch Primal Demon was well versed in both ancient and modern learning. He even had a deep understanding of how Qi warriors had evolved.
Even many Saint domain human experts looked completely clueless after hearing his words.
Only a few God domain experts started to ponder, as if his words had sparked some deep thoughts.
"Fine traditions of the ancient Qi warriors..." Hou Chulan and other juniors like her were surprised to discover that Grand Monarch Primal Demon didn't have the slightest disdain in his tone as he talked to Mo Heng. Instead, he seemed rather approving of him.
This indicated that he considered Mo Heng a worthy opponent.
"You flatter me, senior, " Mo Heng said with an attitude that was neither overbearing nor servile."I only stuck to the ancient cultivation principals because I wasn't born with a particular attribute. I didn't have a choice. In fact, even I didn't expect that I'd come this far."
Grand Monarch Primal Demon pondered briefly before suggesting, "Our duel shouldn't take place here. As vast as the Dead Star Sea is, there are still many restrictions. If they break because of our battle, there'll be serious consequences. Hence, I suggest that we move our duel to another location."
Mo Heng listened attentively, and nodded from time to time to show that he shared his thoughts.
"As you know, there's a special region in the deepest parts of the Shatter Battlefield, the purpose of which is for people like us to have a place to battle, " Grand Monarch Primal Demon continued."For countless years, it has witnessed numerous great battles between grand monarchs of different races and God domain human experts."
Mo Heng braced himself and said, "Since that's what you deem an ideal site for our duel, I agree."
Grand Monarch Primal Demon then turned to face the Void Mirror and said in a soft voice, "Brother Qu, would you open a portal for us?"
Qu Yi's voice then came from within the mirror."Alright."
Immediately afterwards, countless fine spatial rifts flew out of the mirror to interweave into a glowing portal in front of it.
Since Pei Qiqi had found and harnessed her Heaven Nourished grade spatial treasure in the Shatter Battlefield, most of the teleportation portals and spatial tunnels there had lost their effect.
Now, very few people could still travel to and from the Shatter Battlefield.
However, Qu Yi's attainments in spatial power were one of the greatest throughout the history of this starry river.
As long as he wanted to, he would be able to create spatial tunnels and get people through to the Shatter Battlefield no matter what had happened there.
"Thanks."
Grand Monarch Primal Demon smiled and took the initiative to fly into the glowing tunnel, his slender-built body expanding as he did.
