YM778.TV Chapter 696 Chaos (V)
The opponent was simply converting whatever inner energy his system used into Five Elements and Yin-Yang Qi, yet he still acquired Immortal Veneable battle prowess.
Ao Shen suddenly stopped and indicated for the other to do the same, "Fellow Daoist, it\'s obvious this battle is pointless. How about we stop."
"I can\'t: I need the Eternal Supreme Inheritance," said a young man wearing a blue robe, long black hair, and an immortal or dreamy-like atmosphere.
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask for your name?"
"Zhu Tao, from the Mountain and Sea Sect."
"I don\'t know why Fellow Daoist Zhu wants the inheritance so badly when It\'s obvious this is a trap."
Zhu Tao hesitated for a moment before answering, "Because of the weakness of the Pure Qi Path, our world has only given birth to two Eternal Emperors and not a single Eternal Supreme.
"I will be the third, but I have no confidence in becoming an Eternal Supreme."
"With your strength, as long as you temper your body and comprehend the law, you have a high chance of succeeding," commented Ao Shen. However, Zhu Tao shook his head.
"My goal is to show Pure Qi Refiners can become Eternal Supreme. I want to change the cultivators in my world; I want to give them hope that our path is not the weakest and has potential."
Zhu Tao has many plans after proving the Dao. He will revitalize the Pure Qi Refiners\' path and optimize the cultivation system of his world. He also wanted to change the spirit of the world and have these cultivators stop obsessing over longevity and focus on other things.
As such, he needed an Eternal Emperor Scripture to learn from its uniqueness since it would likely increase his chances of achieving his goals. Ao Shen\'s eyes lit up as he thought of something:
"I may be able to help."
"Oh, how?"
"I know the inheritance place of the only Eternal Supreme of the Martial Hegemony World. If we work together, we might be able to get it."
"And why didn\'t you get it yourself?" asked Zhu Tao. Despite his young face, he has lived for nearly a hundred million years.
"The inheritance is from the Martial Beast Emperor," explained Ao Shen. "According to history, his family abandoned him in the wild when he was only three years old because of poverty. However, he was not killed by demonic or wild beasts instead.
"Instead, a wolf raised. As the Martial Beast Emperor walked in the cultivation path, he signed a contract with the wolf and trained it from a wild beast to a Tier 9 demon with a unique bloodline.
"In the final battle, the two teamed up to wipe out all geniuses of that generation. And after proving the Dao, brother Martial Beast Emperor and the wolf evolved to the Emperor Realm."
"How is that possible?"
"I don\'t know exactly, but I\'m guessing it has to do with whatever Dao he cultivated." Ao Shen did not find this fact surprising since he knew of the Yin-Yang Companion Emperor, who used the Infatuation Flower to become Emperor.
"The inheritance of the Martial Beast Emperor requires a human and demon to acquire it. Before, I did not have anyone I trusted."
"And you trust me?"
"Of course not. However, I trust you more than the humans in my world. Furthermore, we do not have any conflict of interest and can peacefully cooperate."
Zhu Tao pondered for a moment. Although he would like to have a normal Eternal Supreme Scripture, but one as unique as the Martial Beast Emperor\'s might better help him. Furthermore, he did not have much choice since the probability that the inheritance trial he was doing on this continent was nothing but a hoax.
Of course, he knew the demon was not only doing this because of the inheritance. His objective seemed to become closer and maybe even form an alliance.
Zhu Tao did not mind allying with a demon race; he was not pedantic nor a human purist. Although there is a lot of confrontation between demons and humans, they have also worked together occasionally.
Zhu Tao\'s analysis was correct. Ao Shen wanted the demon race to have foreign allies since he would not put all his eggs in one basket: he did not know if or when the Dao Opening Sect would have a change of heart, leaving his race in a worse situation than it was.
Although he had some allies in the Martial Hegemony World, they were not enough; he wanted more. His original plan was to ally with other demon races from other World Communities. The demon race even had contact with another place called the Demon Supremacy World.
However, they have never heard from these people after the brief contact during the Deception Trial. This human before him might be the perfect ally.
"I agree to work with you," said Zhu Tao. "When and where do we meet?" The two then discussed the details of their cooperation while briefly mentioning a possible alliance in the future.
…
Huo Fenghuang\'s body was severely injured as her rib cage was showing, and a piece of her shoulder was missing; it was as if something had chopped it off.
She ignored the terrible state of her body as she concentrated on her opponent: a man and a woman. The man was a terrifying swordsman with unparallel attacks. He\'s responsible for most of her injury. As for the women? Huo Fenghuang wanted to curse her.
She was unlucky to meet two people with Immortal Venerable strength from the Battle Spirit World. What\'s worse, they seemed to be Dao Companion and knew how to work together perfectly and combine their powers through tactics, techniques, and formation.
When the battle began, she did not use her full power, test their strength, and try to analyze the situation. However, who knew the woman suddenly sealed four of her five Innate Laws, drastically reducing her power.
Soon afterward, the man created another opportunity for his partner, and she sealed Huo Fenghuang\'s space ring to prevent her from using other means to escape.
\'Damn it, who are these people, and why are they so well-coordinated?\' She did not know these two came together because of the overwhelming pressure He Shiyi brought upon them. One day, they decided to ally before eventually falling in love and becoming Dao Companion.
Huo Fenghuang was frustrated. However, her battle experience allowed her to calm down and think rationale. Her Phoenix and Back Tortoise Laws were sealed, reducing her regenerative and defensive capabilities. Luckily, she acted swiftly and saved the White Tiger Law, the one with the greatest offense.
"Let\'s do it," said the man, and his wife nodded. He raised his sword, and she placed a mark on it, sealing all her power into the sword.
\'I\'m sorry, but we need the inheritance.\'
Swish! A beautiful blue light rushed toward Huo Fenghuang with terrible destructive capabilities. She attacked with all her strength to stop the attack, but it was pointless.
\'Am I going to die here?\' She was unwilling. Without her carelessness, these people would not be her match with all five Innate Laws. And even if they were, she could escape with all her strength.
\'It\'s not fair. I have so much to do. The rise of the Ancient Clan depends on me; I have not returned us the glory of the past.\'
It did not matter what she thought: the light was unstoppable.
Swush!
A white light enveloped her, and Huo Fenghuang disappeared, leaving the couple shocked and ignorant. They quickly checked the surrounding but could not detect the means the opponent used to escape.
They looked at each other with terror before rushing into the distance with the fastest speed they could muster.
In another small world, Huo Fenghuang suddenly appeared, also confused about what had just occurred. However, when she saw the giant karma thread forcibly connected to her, she had an idea of who had saved her and why.
\'You\'re the last person I want to owe Karma to.\'
After taking a moment to ponder the possible ramification of this debt, she knew it would not be favorable to her.
\'Focus on healing first; that\'s the priority.\'
Huo Fenghuang sat on the floor, trying to remove the seal in her space ring; she wanted to get some healing pills. Then, she focused on removing the seal on her law.
She was a little distracted, wondering whether she could pay the karma before the Heaven Will Battle.
