True Martial World - Chapter 937: Purple Spirit vs Xi Ye

Luo Huo'er wanted to battle Xi Ye?

Everyone held their breaths. They never expected that the battles would be this intense right from the very beginning.

They believed that the best of the best face would face each other in battle only at the end. They never expected that the Luo clan would directly go against the Eternal Eventide Sea!

First, Yi Yun had defeated Ye Yi, and now, Luo Huo'er wanted to battle the goddess, Xi Ye!

The pangs of fury suppressed by the members of the Luo clan, which had been ignited by the arrogant words declared by the Eternal Eventide Sea, finally felt as though they had been vented clean.

"Princess Purple Spirit!"

"Princess Purple Spirit!"

"Princess Purple Spirit!"

The members of the Luo clan were shouting loudly. After all, Luo Huo'er's popularity in the Luo clan exceeded Yi Yun's.

In the stands where the seats of honor were, goddess Xi Ye snorted coldly and flew off from her seat!

Suddenly, Luo Huo'er and Xi Ye, two daughters that were the pride of the heavens stood mid-air, facing each other thousands of feet apart above the battle arena!

Luo Huo'er was dressed in red, and she resembled a burning flame. As for Xi Ye, her black hair and dress made her seem like a source of darkness.

"You are treating it as though you, the Luo clan, has surpassed my Eternal Eventide clan just by defeating Ye Yi?"

Xi Ye's voice was like a cold rain that splashed across the faces of everyone.

"It doesn't matter if the Luo clan surpasses the Eternal Eventide clan or not. It's just that I'll beat up whoever I find unpleasing to my eyes, and as it happens, you belong to one of the types of people that I detest." Luo Huo'er was very casual in her speech, and this undoubtedly infuriated Xi Ye.

At that moment, a sword appeared in Luo Huo'er's hand in a very abrupt manner. Very few members of the several million strong audience to discern how it had appeared in Luo Huo'er's hand, it was like she had been holding the sword from the very beginning.

The sword was slightly longer than five feet and it was very narrow. The blade was pale red, and when it was unsheathed, the sword was bent due to its thinness. From the main blade to its tip, it formed a curve, making it resemble a red ribbon.

A soft sword?

Xi Ye's eyebrows pricked up slightly. She had seen her fair share of soft swords, but this was the first time that she had seen a sword so soft that it curved naturally. How was such a sword used?

Although Xi Ye was arrogant, she did not belittle Luo Huo'er. A large and completely black snake appeared behind Xi Ye. As it slithered towards Xi Ye's shoulders, it slowly coiled its body. The snake's scales were like metal, exuding a cold sheen, and on its head, there was a single horn. It was a snake that was on it way to evolve into a dragon. Legends had it that ancient snakes could produce single horns and four claws after surviving numerous heavenly tribulations, eventually evolving into a dragon.

"Contract Beast?"

People were slightly taken aback.

"It's not a Contract Beast, it's an Aspect Totem. The members of the Eternal Eventide clan are humans. Their cultivation system allows them to refine an Aspect Totem," said a mighty figure in the crowd.

"An Aspect Totem that looks so lifelike? It's like a real wyrm!"

Typically, Aspect Totems looked like phantom images, but Xi Ye's Aspect Totem looked no different to an actual living creature.

At that moment, the black snake merged into Xi Ye's body, and a black beam of energy gathered on one of her palms. It spread out and formed a long black whip.

Black snake! Black whip!

It could not stop people from making the connection that the whip in Xi Ye's hand was a refinement of the black snake.

At that moment, Xi Ye moved. She lashed out with her whip, and a series of cracking sounds of a whip accompanied thousands of whip shadows that began to envelop Luo Huo'er!

"I've reigned supreme in the Eternal Eventide Sea. Whoever fails to keep up with me in terms of speed has no right to fight me!"

With whip and body as one, Xi Ye transformed into a black stream of light. People could only see black beams of light dancing throughout the sky, but there was no sight of Xi Ye herself!

"How can this be dodged?"

"There are no blind spots at all!" The members of the Luo clan exclaimed.

"Ka-cha!"

Under the envelopment of the whip shadows, the ground was diced into countless fragments, exploding in the process!

Despite the terrifying bombardment of the scourge, Luo Huo'er's figure suddenly blasted out like a plume of fire, flashing away.

The endless whip shadows looked like there was not a single blind spot, but in fact, Xi Ye's lashes were done one after another. There was definitely an order, and as black smoke flared under Luo Huo'er's feet, she accurately pinpointed what was needed of her. Using a nearly impossible speed and mastery of her bodily actions, she dodged the whip shadows while darting through them while advancing!

"There are too many phantom images from Her Highness!"

The members of the Luo clan watched Luo Huo'er shuttle through the whip shadows with bated breaths. Countless whip shadows hit Luo Huo'er's body, but strangely, the whips went straight through her body without the slightest bit of resistance, leaving Luo Huo'er unharmed!

"It's too fast. It has exceeded the limits of our visual acuity. Her Highness isn't forcefully blocking the lashing of the whips, she's only dodging!"

Blocking the bombardment of such rapid attacks was much easier than dodging. Although there was an order in which the whip shadows appeared, the gap in between successive lashes was a thousandth of an instant. It was easier said than done to dodge every one of them!

Not only so, people already realized that Luo Huo'er was getting closer to Xi Ye while dodging the whip shadows!

Luo Huo'er had swept through a hundred feet across the void, closing in on Xi Ye!

She was about to catch up!

Luo Huo'er flicked her hand as the red ribbon-like sword slashed out!

Due to the oddness of the soft sword, at the instant of moving, the sword tip lagged behind due to its softness, but with the force of the blade reaching its limits, the sword tip whipped out at an even faster speed, shooting straight at Xi Ye.

"Whew!"

Like a fire python sticking its tongue out, the strike thrust straight at Xi Ye's chest with roaring fire-elemental Yuan Qi at an odd angle.

"Shield of Darkness!"

Xi Ye waved her hand as the power of darkness condensed in front of her. The black vortex formed was Xi Ye's Shield of Darkness.

Luo Huo'er's strike hit the center of the Shield of Darkness.

Ka-cha!

The Shield of Darkness shattered immediately! Luo Huo'er's attack was just too powerful!

Immediately following that, overwhelming fire-elemental energies flared with light.

Dao Domain of fire!

With Luo Huo'er's nomological insight, it was only natural for her to have gained insights into her own Dao Domain, and it was excellent grade.

The moment that the Dao Domain appeared, tongues of fire deluged the surroundings, like a volcano had erupted beneath Luo Huo'er's sword. The desolate plains were engulfed by the flames, as stones turned to lava!

"Back! Move back immediately!" People exclaimed.

The suppressive pressure of the flame coming from Luo Huo'er's strike was just too powerful! Standing beyond the battle arena, it was like they were immersed in a prison of fire. They felt like their vitality was being consumed by the fire.

As people retreated, the flames churning in the battle arena culminated into a climax, as it blasted in one crazy explosion!

Firestorms swept the area, engulfing everything!

"Si!"

Suddenly, a black snake shot towards the sky amid the turbulent flames, as it gave out a painful hiss.

"It's Xi Ye's Aspect Totem!" Someone shouted, but they could hardly keep their eyes open in the fierce firestorm.

This battle was too intense! The battle between two extremely talented women was a clash like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. It far exceeded the battle involving Yi Yun and Ye Yi. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Even though they were watching the battle from afar, it left them out of breath.

"What is the outcome?"

People stared at the battle arena with widened eyes, afraid of missing any scene. However, the firestorm completely blocked everyone’s sight.

True Martial World - Chapter 936: Luo Huo’er’s Turn

That one strike from Yi Yun's brick had condensed the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence's nomological rune. With his Yuan Qi infused in it, even a handful of mud would be augmented into something as hard as divine metal! Although the Heaven Upheaval Seal was a weapon that was refined in the lower realm, its inferior quality material did not affect Yi Yun's attack in any way.

With the brick smashing down and hitting him right on the forehead, Ye Yi's protective Yuan Qi had shattered. His body could not even withstand the attack.

The Eternal Eventide clan were humans after all. Like humans, their physical bodies were their weakness. If it wasn’t for Yi Yun holding some of the power back at the final moment, Ye Yi would be more heavily injured.

"It… ended just like that!?"

Not only were the Eternal Eventide Sea's disciples dumbfounded, even the Luo clan disciples, who were supporting Yi Yun, were in the same state of shock.

The scene before in front of them was something that was totally beyond their imagination. They were both the second strongest person from factions of equal strength, but the gap in strength was too great!

A single strike clinched victory?

An insta-defeat?

The entire southern desolate mountain plains was covered with millions of warriors. Most of them were Luo clan residents. After a few moments of silence, they suddenly erupted into cheers that were like a roaring landslide or tsunami.

"Yi Yun!"

"Yi Yun!"

"Yi Yun!"

Thundering cheers roared across the wilderness in a deafening manner!

Over the past few days, citizens of the Luo clan had been eating humble pie. In the 12 Empyrean Heavens, strength was everything. With strength, one would obtain honor, status and dignity, regardless if it was an individual or a large faction.

And a few days ago, Chi Zhuiyun had declared to sweep through the Luo clan, and he had even leapfrogged Chu Yunjian in battle, defeating him. Luo Huo'er was the only person in the entire Luo clan that could possibly match Chi Zhuiyun, but that was only a possibility.

Even members of the Luo clan or admirers of Luo Huo'er did not dare to determine who would win in a fight between Luo Huo'er and Chi Zhuiyun.

And the situation had developed in such a way under this backdrop with the Eternal Eventide Sea, World Margin Sect coming here. They came to the Luo clan to bathe in the limelight with their minds set on Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple recruitment. The members of the Eternal Eventide Sea were extremely arrogant, so in the past few days, there were several conflicts between the Luo clan's citizens and the Eternal Eventide Sea disciples in the southern desolate mountain plains. Many of the Eternal Eventide Sea's disciples had declared that the Luo clan would not be able to deal with Chi Zhuiyun, who would be finished by them.

The citizens of the Luo clan naturally felt aggrieved.

But today, Yi Yun's victory against Ye Yi in a battle of ease and verve had finally vindicated the Luo clan!

The cheers for Yi Yun continued on, and they even seemed like they were increasing

"Brothers, shout as loud as you can! Let's see those bastards of the Eternal Eventide clan continue to be arrogant, we'll smack their faces till they turn swollen!"

Amongst the crowd, there was an extraordinarily powerful warrior shouting. This person's cultivation realm had surpassed the Dao Manifestation realm, and he was considered a warrior from the older generation. But faced with such a delightful event, he was as excited as the young ones.

"What madness… " Yi Yun said from the bottom of his heart.

At that moment, he had already left the battle arena.

In front of him, Ye Yi was being carried off the stage by members of the Eternal Eventide clan. His forehead was covered in blood, and the way he looked at Yi Yun was already very weak.

This battle had given a huge setback to Ye Yi. It would have been fine if he had been defeated, but he had been defeated by an ordinary human, and his opponent's weapon was a brick!

Having been defeated, and being smacked down by a brick, Ye Yi already began to question life.

"Of course there's madness!" Luo Huo'er responded, "In a warrior's world, we may have the power to cause great destruction, have long lifespans, and are able to lead extravagant lives, but the pressure is intense. Be it life-and-death trials or breakthroughs that require great risks, or the sense of urgency of being killed by someone else at any moment in time, it forces us to continuously forge ahead."

"The accumulation of all these pressure naturally need an opportunity for it to be released. For example, with Chi Zhuiyun setting the battle area now, everyone comes here to watch the battle for that delightful entertainment. Although they are unable to engage in the battle themselves, victory is no different from them fighting themselves as it sends boiling blood pulsing through their veins. Especially with the Eternal Eventide clan being suppressed, there is a sudden feeling of exaltation, naturally a strong sense jubilance!"

As Luo Huo'er spoke, she gave Yi Yun a thumbs up. Her jade like fingers looked exquisite and beautiful.

"That's right… "

Yi Yun nodded. Ignoring the warrior's world, even in the world of mortals, there were all sorts of sports that attracted people, such as baseball, soccer, etc. An unprecedented soccer tournament would attract large numbers of spectators and fans. These people would push the atmosphere of the competition to its limits. And this was in a situation with many people not even knowing how to play soccer. In contrast, in a martial world, with everyone knowing martial arts, it made it even more different.

"Little Yun, your fight sure is liberating. I long found that Ye Yi unpleasing to the eyes. Let him be arrogant, but finish him with a brick!"

Luo Huo'er was still reveling in her excitement.

And at that moment, in the seats of honor, Prince Crimson Firmament, Bai Yueqing, Tianya Haoyue, goddess Xi Ye and others were also looking at Yi Yun.

Goddess Xi Ye's face was dark and gloomy. She had spoken with such great certainty, but with the outcome of the match, describing it as a face smacking was insufficient.

Despite knowing that goddess Xi Ye was feeling embarrassed, Prince Crimson Firmament did not have any thoughts of kicking her while she was down. He was actually feeling mixed emotions. On one hand, the Luo clan had smacked the Eternal Eventide clan in the face, making him feel delighted, but on the other hand, Yi Yun was in Luo Huo'er's camp. From a certain point of view, he was his enemy.

The stronger his enemy was, the more threatening he was to his throne, so how could he be happy?

"Your Highness, it appears that I've underestimated Yi Yun. His talent far exceeds mine. Eleven years ago, it appears that it was not as simple as Yi Yun relying on a mystic technique to defeat the fifth Ancient Fey at the Luo Divine Hall trials… " Beside Prince Crimson Firmament, Chu Yunjian sighed.

Yi Yun, Luo Huo'er, and Princess White Fox were people who made one feel inferior for existing in the same era. Despite being extraordinarily talented, he was repressed by them, without being able to lift his head up.

By defeating Ye Yi, Yi Yun was undoubtedly one of the strongest of the eight.

Following that, the World Margin Sect, the White Fox clan, and the Oracle Fey Kingdom had to choose two people out of three.

To the Luo clan citizens, such a battle was of lesser importance when compared to Yi Yun’s. In the eyes of the people, in the three substitutes, the other three were only there to make the numbers. Regardless of who fought, nothing mattered.

What they were eager to watch was the matchups amongst the strongest.

However, no one expected that before the three people got on to the stage to fight, Luo Huo'er was first to step onto the stage.

"It was really lively in the previous fight, so let me have a hand at it too!" Luo Huo'er was dressed in a red fighting costume as she casually said.

"Oh?"

Everyone was surprised. Luo Huo'er was going on-stage?

The battle had only just begun, and there was no assignment of opponents, but Luo Huo'er had already gone on stage.

"Goddess Xi Ye, is it?" Luo Huo'er looked far into the distance at the seats of honor, "Do you want to come over and have a fight!?"

Luo Huo'er did not care if there had not been an assignment of opponents. Amongst the eight people, she just needed to call out the person's name to fight anyone she wanted!

True Martial World - Chapter 935: I've been keeping a really low profile recently

"That sister of mine is actually over there!?"

In the southern desolate mountain plains, there were temporary seats of honor. People like Prince Crimson Firmament, Bai Yueqing, goddess Xi Ye, and company were sitting on the seats of honor. Luo Huo'er naturally had the right to sit there, but she had decided to mix in with the crowd.

"Brother Chuyun, it's said you have a good eye on abilities. What do you think that the outcome of Yi Yun's battle against Ye Yi will be?" Prince Crimson Firmament asked.

Sitting beside Prince Crimson Firmament was Chu Yunjian. Although he had been defeated by Chi Zhuiyun, no one belittled him.

Chu Yunjian said, "Your Highness, the talk about my eye is simply rumoring as a result of others complimenting it. I have been wrong many times, but this time, there's little to be speculated. The outcome will be that Yi Yun will win."

Although Chu Yunjian did not know what strength Ye Yi had, Yi Yun's strength was obvious. The second strongest person in the Eternal Eventide Sea wanted to beat a freak like Yi Yun? That was extremely unlikely!

"Oh? Little to be speculated?" A woman's voice could be heard. Sitting next to Prince Crimson Firmament was an exquisite woman with black hair and purple pupils. Her forehead and neck were covered with metallic accessories. Sitting there, she appeared like she was the source of darkness, making her appear distant and mysterious.

She was the goddess of the Eternal Eventide clan — Xi Ye.

The second strongest person of the Luo clan and the second strongest person of the Eternal Eventide clan were at similar levels, yet it was said that there was little to be speculated? What arrogance!

Goddess Xi Ye said coldly, "Your Luo and White Fox clans fell into turmoil because of a single Chi Zhuiyun. What sort of face do you have to say such things? If you could have defeated Chi Zhuiyun, what need would there be for us to be here?"

The Eternal Eventide clan was able to rival the Luo clan in power with several million people, and Xi Ye was the goddess of the Eternal Eventide clan, so she was obviously pissed when Chu Yunjian said things that belittled the Eternal Eventide Sea.

"You must be Chu Yunjian. As a Dao Manifestation realm warrior, you were defeated by Chi Zhuiyun, a half-step Dao Manifestation realm warrior. How emboldened are you to make comments here." Goddess Xi Ye said bluntly.

Chu Yunjian fell silent. Being defeated by Chi Zhuiyun, a person at a lower realm than him, was indeed a stain on his life, one that he could not refute.

…

At that moment on the battle arena, Yi Yun and Ye Yi were a thousand feet from each other. There were cheers from the Luo clan warriors all around the stage.

"Yi Yun, get rid of that Eternal Eventide Sea punk!"

"Yi Yun is sure to win!"

The audience was made up warriors, so their shouts were deafening. Ye Yi frowned when he heard them. Without the fight even beginning, he had been disparaged by the crowd, which pissed him off. "I never expected that a bunch of Fey would cheer for a human like you. However, cheering is useless. The outcome of the battle depends on strength."

"A human? Aren't you human?"

With his sword in hand, Yi Yun coldly looked at Ye Yi. In the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, humans were scarce, to begin with. They stood alone and powerless, so they needed to be united as one, forging ahead together. However, despite being human, just because they had a different color to their eyes, the Eternal Eventide Sea had taken the initiative to draw a line with other humans, like being labeled human was an insult to them.

"Do not compare us with the lot of you. We are the Chosen race of the Divinity, while you are the abandoned race. Lowly humans have a less than a one in ten billion chance of producing a genius, millions of times inferior to us. You are the cream of the crop, lucky to have won your current position. However, there are even more humans that are lowly beings. With life spans ranging less than a hundred years, they are no different to ants."

As Ye Yi spoke, he pulled two black sabers out. The two sabers resembled a pair of wings.

As for Yi Yun, he began to slowly put his sword away. "Inferior? Lowly? Ants?" Yi Yun shook his head. "You and humans come from the same roots, but that is how you view humans."

When Ye Yi heard Yi Yun's ridicule, he did not respond. Instead, he coldly said, "By putting your sword away, are you planning on throwing in the towel?"

"Throwing in the towel? No, I'm only planning on switching my weapon. I think that using a sword to deal with you is being too kind."

As Yi Yun spoke, he took a rectangular block of metal out of his interspatial ring. It was a rectangular seal, named the Heaven Upheaval Seal. Back in the Tai Ah Divine City, Yi Yun had participated in the rookie ranking tournament and he had used the Heaven Upheaval Seal as a weapon. Back then, Yi Yun was unable to adeptly control his strength. He was afraid of killing his opponent with his saber, but with the passage of time, Yi Yun's proficiency with energy control became more and more adept, so there was no need for the Heaven Upheaval Seal to be used.

"That is?"

Ye Yi frowned. He could sense that the rectangular piece of metal taken out by Yi Yun was a seal that had been previously refined. However, the material that the seal was made out of was extremely terrible. Furthermore, the runes that were engraved on its surface were extremely poor in quality!

"This is called a brick. It should be enough to deal with you. I think I've been keeping a really low profile recently, resulting in me being considered as a substitute. It wasn't easy for me to get on the stage, and now, random cats and dogs are wailing in front of me." Yi Yun said lazily.

He was already bent on becoming Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple, gaining the attention of Felicitous Rain Lord. Therefore, it was understandable that he could no longer keep a low profile.

"What did you say!?" A cold beam flashed in Ye Yi's eyes.

"You are courting death!” Ye Yi was incensed.

How dare a human disparage him in that way? The human did not even know how the word death was written!

"Weng!"

Ye Yi’s sabers roared as they sliced through the wind. The sabers emitted thousands of saber beams that inundated the surroundings!

Saber domain!

Saber domain was also another name for the Dao Domain of sabers. Saber Dao was also one of the Dao. It was inferior to Yin-Yang and space-time, but it was not weaker than the five elements. And it was ranked alongside sword Dao!

Ye Yi had also gained insights into a Dao Domain of his own!

Upon seeing this scene, the hearts of the Luo clan audience tightened. Indeed, to become the second strongest person of the Eternal Eventide Sea, he had something outstanding about him. It was very rare for a person who had gained insights into a Dao Domain before he reached the Dao Manifestation realm.

"I never expected a Dao Domain. It's best if Yi Yun doesn't underestimate his opponent. As long as he uses his true strength, he will still win." The Luo clan audience were very confident when it came to Yi Yun.

However, Yi Yun did not seem to have any plans on switching weapons.

Phew—

Yi Yun was enveloped by Ye Yi's saber domain.

With Heaven Upheaval Seal in his hand, Yi Yun remained motionless, allowing the saber domain to envelop him.

"Cha! Cha! Cha!"

Saber beams began darting around Yi Yun, slashing at his protective Yuan Qi.

"Is this your Dao Domain?" Yi Yun said nonchalantly.

He did not think much about it. Dao Domains had different levels. Ye Yi’s Dao Domain was weaker than Princess White Fox's Dao Domain from eleven years ago, let alone comparable to Chi Zhuiyun.

And eleven years ago, Yi Yun had been enveloped by the Nine-tailed White Fox's Nine-tailed Dao Domain in the Fey Refining Rock array, and he was able to forcibly crack it, let alone now.

"It's sufficient to kill you!"

Ye Yi used his sabers to attack in unison with the saber beams. All of the saber beams in the saber domain began to merge as one, slashing right at Yi Yun.

However, before the saber beam landed on him, a golden rune lit up in the middle of the Heaven Upheaval Seal that was in Yi Yun's hand. It was not one of the runes that were originally engraved in the Heaven Upheaval Seal, it was one of the runes that belonged to the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Eleven years ago, Yi Yun was already able to spread the runes of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence onto a hundred flying sabers. So now, it was even easier to inject one into the Heaven Upheaval Seal.

"Boom!"

The rune lit up with a divine light as the Heaven Upheaval Seal came smashing down towards Ye Yi!

This strike was not aimed at Ye Yi, it was aimed at his saber.

A brick against a saber!

On one side, it was a saber strike that had condensed an entire Dao Domain. It contained all of Ye Yi's insights in the saber Dao, and on the other side, it was a metal brick of dubious quality. But the collision was like a meteorite hitting the ground!

Crackle!

A brick tore through the void! People could clearly see a huge rift open in the void. Energy surged wantonly in the rift!

The void of the 12 Empyrean Heavens was extremely firm. There was no way for Heaven Ascension realm warriors to tear the void, and Yi Yun was no exception.

As such, what broke was not the void, but… Ye Yi's saber domain!

A saber domain that had just been conjured was forcefully shattered by a single smash of Yi Yun's brick!

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Large swaths of the Dao Domain had shattered successively, with countless saber beams shattering as well. However, the Heaven Upheaval Seal did not lose its momentum, it continued to remain indomitable!

"Dang!"

Ye Yi's final saber beam was sent flying by Yi Yun's smash. The heavy Heaven Upheaval Seal, with immense Yuan Qi wrapped around it, appeared above Ye Yi's forehead.

"Peng!"

Blood splattered everywhere as the nicely dressed Ye Yi, who had cut facial features, was left trembling by Yi Yun's brick. His vision turned black as his mind went blank, like everything in the world around him, had been forcibly stripped apart by Yi Yun.

"What… is going on… ?"

Ye Yi's legs turned weak. He tried his best to stabilize his body, but he eventually collapsed slowly…

True Martial World - Chapter 934: You are Yi Yun?

Instantly, there was a commotion. Yu Tianfeng was infuriated by this. Previously in the Luo clan royal palace, Emperor Luo had been extremely polite with him, but here, a bunch of juniors were showing him little respect.

Compared to the lofty Emperor Luo, these juniors were nothing!

Although Yu Tianfeng was angry, he could not do anything about it. Emperor Luo did not dare offend the Oracle Fey Kingdom because Felicitous Rain Lord owed a favor to the Oracle Fey Kingdom. It was destined to be critical in the alliance against the Fey Phantasm Sect, but these juniors could ignore any of that.

At that moment, Chi Zhuiyun walked forward. In fact, Yu Tianfeng, who had been conferred a nobility title in the Oracle Fey Kingdom but had relatively low talent, did not have as much weight when speaking compared to Chi Zhuiyun.

Chi Zhuiyun said, "Regardless if it's me challenging you, or all of you challenging me, it's the same thing. I don't care at all! Today, I have set the stage for combat, only to fight the strongest person from each faction so we don’t waste time. I don't care who you wish to battle, but I'll only fight four people today — Tianya Haoyue! Princess White Fox! Princess Purple Spirit! Goddess Xi Ye!"

Chi Zhuiyun directly named four people, and they happened to be from each of the four major factions. They were nearly the strongest.

"You alone want to battle us four?" Tianya Haoyue scoffed. "Chi Zhuiyun, I know that you are very strong, but if you want to fight one against four, aren't you being too overbearing!?"

Tianya Haoyue was a proud person. He did not think of himself as being worse than Chi Zhuiyun. To deal with Chi Zhuiyun in a tag-team with the other three geniuses was something that Tianya Haoyue was unwilling to do. After all, even if he beat Chi Zhuiyun, it was nothing worth being proud about, let alone talk about gaining the recognition of Felicitous Rain Lord.

Chi Zhuiyun gave Tianya Haoyue a glance and said, "It is up to you to do battle or not. I am open to fighting anyone of the four of you!"

"Chi Zhuiyun, do not think that you are the center of the alliance's younger generation, with everyone revolving around you. I'm the one who wants everyone to challenge me!" Tianya Haoyue said coldly, "My take on this is we should choose a few more people, making up eight or even sixteen people. We can each do battle. Winning allows the next battle to happen, and the loser has to forfeit their place!"

The rule that Tianya Haoyue proposed had received a great number of people's approbation.

In such a battle, no one was the center of attention. It was a completely fair tournament, and it would not accentuate Chi Zhuiyun.

Chi Zhuiyun sighed slightly and said, "If you want to, make it eight then. Having too many people is just a waste of time."

If there were only five people, it was difficult to decide on the order of battle. By finding three 'substitutes', it would make it easier to assign the fights with eight people.

However, Chi Zhuiyun kept arrogantly insisting that it was a waste of time, inciting the wrath of others.

"Senior Brother Haoyue, let us join the foray! I want to see how impressive Chi Zhuiyun is for him to be this overbearing!" In the World Margin Sect, a disciple spoke.

His name was Tian Yaping, he was definitely one of the leading figures in the World Margin Sect.

Although being a substitute did not sound pleasant to the ears, they were able to do battle after all. Many people wanted to do so. But in that case, there was a new problem. There were five factions present, but only three substitute spots. If each faction chose a person, there would be two additional people.

At that moment, Chi Zhuiyun spoke again, "Choose one person from each faction. Among the five, fight it out to decide on the three places!"

After saying that, Chi Zhuiyun did not speak another word. The crowd also nodded in agreement.

Luo Huo'er smiled as she looked at Yi Yun. "Little Yun, it sure sucks for you to end up being a substitute!"

Being ridiculed by Luo Huo'er, Yi Yun helplessly stroked his chin. He could only accept being a substitute. He could only blame himself for not participating in the Luo Divine Hall trials to the very end. It resulted in him not even appearing on the Luo Divine Hall's final ranking.

In order for the other factions to understand the Luo clan and the White Fox clan's geniuses, they would first look at the rankings, so it was common for them to be unaware of Yi Yun's name.

Yi Yun was representing the Luo clan, and him taking the second spot was no surprise. Even Prince Crimson Firmament would not disagree to it.

With that, the name list was decided.

The second person each of the five factions chosen respectively were — Luo clan's Yi Yun, World Margin Sect's Tianya Ping, Oracle Fey Kingdom's Demon Girl, White Fox clan's Nongying and Eternal Eventide Sea's Ye Yi!

The five people were competing for three spots.

"Oh? So you are Yi Yun, and you must be… Princess Purple Spirit!?"

At the tea stall, Ye Yi and the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples that had their tongues burnt finally learned about Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er's identity. They never expected that they had entered a conflict with Luo Huo'er, the person ranked first in the Luo clan!

It was no wonder that her attainment in fire-elemental laws had reached such an impressive level. A simple fire-elemental conjuration had been mysteriously drunk by them, resulting in their tongues being burnt.

"Interesting!"

Ye Yi looked at Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er. Luo Huo'er was in the first echelon. Before becoming one of the three people qualified to do battle, he had not right to challenge Luo Huo'er. As for Yi Yun… he was completely confident fighting against him!

Ye Yi was famous in the Eternal Eventide Sea. In fact, Ye Yi was eager to spar even with a person like Luo Huo'er!

So what if she was the number one genius in the Luo clan? The place of his birth only numbered several million people, yet the Eternal Eventide Sea was able to rank alongside various large factions. The level of the geniuses that his clansmen were at was nothing that the other factions could compare with.

Even if he failed to defeat Luo Huo'er in the end, Ye Yi believed that he would not be too inferior when compared to Luo Huo'er.

"Since you are Yi Yun, that's perfect. Leave the first battle to us! I wish that you will not disappoint me too greatly!" As Ye Yi spoke, he leaped and flew towards the battle arena stage. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Senior Brother Ye Yi, teach that punk an unforgettable lesson!"

"Screw him badly! Beat him up until his parents can't even recognize him!" Behind Ye Yi, the two Eternal Eventide disciples that got tormented by Luo Huo'er said with red faces.

However, as a result of their burnt tongues, what they said sounded muffled, and somewhat amusing.

They hated Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er to death. They could not offend Luo Huo'er, but Ye Yi could avenge them.

Seeing that Ye Yi was already on the arena stage. Yi Yun followed him in a very slow manner.

In this battle of geniuses, Yi Yun believed himself to be an expert as well, but he had been delegated as a substitute. Furthermore, typical experts would usually appear as a finalist, appearing only at the last few matches, but now, he was the first one to do battle. He was at quite a loss.

The moment that Yi Yun landed on the arena stage, the stage’s surroundings erupted into a flood of cheers.

"Yi Yun! Yi Yun!"

This was the Luo clan's home ground after all. Most people in the southern desolate mountain plains came from the Luo clan.

In the Luo clan, Yi Yun had a high popularity, just second to Luo Huo'er’s. The recognition that the Luo clan disciples had for Yi Yun had not much to do with how Yi Yun did not complete the Luo Divine Hall trials.

"The cheers that you receive are rather loud! It appears that you are quite popular in the Luo clan." Ye Yi nonchalantly said, as though he disparaged the Luo clan's cheers. This was the confidence that he had in the Eternal Eventide clan.

True Martial World - Chapter 933: Five Factions

Luo Huo'er's words were infused with Yuan Qi, so although she spoke softly, it was extremely penetrating.

Ye Yi's swordlike eyebrows pricked up. "Interesting. You are right. There is no need for a reason for inferior warriors to be killed. Their only fault is that they lack strength. Then, I want to see whether or not you are stronger than me!"

As Ye Yi spoke, his eyes glimmered with fighting spirit.

Ye Yi was a martial fanatic who was militant in nature. He could not contain himself when facing an opponent like Luo Huo'er.

Instantly, the surrounding crowd turned excited.

They never expected how climatic the battleground of Chi Zhuiyun's challenge could become. Before he even appeared, there were already clashes between top geniuses.

But at that moment, Luo Huo'er only gave a lazy glance at Ye Yi and said, "You aren't qualified. If anyone wants to challenge me, get that whatever goddess from your Eternal Eventide Sea!"

Oh?

Ye Yi's pupils constricted.

At that moment, a golden carriage suddenly rumbled through the sky. There were four dragon horses pulling the carriage with golden light shimmering from it! On the carriage, there was an orange emblem of a mountain.

Everyone looked up and someone said, "It's the World Margin Sect's carriage. Sitting in it is probably the number one disciple of the World Margin Sect, Tianya Haoyue."

After the World Margin Sect, there was a resplendent green light that illuminated the firmament. A spirit vessel made of jade came floating over.

It was a spirit vessel of the White Fox clan. It was very likely that Princess White Fox was inside the jade spirit vessel.

Immediately following that, there was a black-bodied ancient chariot pulled by nine spirit birds that resembled black phoenixes.

"It's the goddess, Xi Ye, of our Eternal Eventide clan." A member of the Eternal Eventide clan said in the crowd.

The two young Eternal Eventide clan disciples that had their tongues burnt by Luo Huo'er also mumbled the words 'goddess Xi Ye'. They looked excited and at the same time, they looked at Luo Huo'er like she would be taught a lesson in time to come.

Luo Huo'er ignored the small fries of the Eternal Eventide clan. She stroked her delicate chin and she looked at the black chariot of goddess Xi Ye. She muttered to herself, "Three men and three women. That will be interesting."

With Chi Zhuiyun's challenge posed, a total of five factions had gathered here — the Luo clan, the White Fox clan, the World Margin Sect, the Eternal Eventide Sea, and the originator, the Oracle Fey Kingdom.

There happened to be three men and three women — Yi Yun, Chi Zhuiyun, Tianya Haoyue, Luo Huo'er, Princess White Fox and goddess Xi Ye.

Now, the five factions were gathered in the area, but the people who truly wielded power like Emperor Luo, Empress Luo, Empress Xuan, and company did not appear.

After all, it was Chi Zhuiyun, a junior who had posed the challenge. In order to maintain their stature, these important figures did not appear in person.

Although they did not appear in person, it did not mean that they were not paying attention to the matter. In fact, the outcome of the battle was enough to make Emperor Luo nervous!

After all, not only did this matter pertain to the Luo clan's dignity, it also had to do with Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple recruitment!

At that moment in time, there was an array set up in the Luo clan royal palace. It projected everything that was happening in the southern desolate mountain plains. Emperor Luo was sitting on his throne while watching it with a heavy expression.

Beside Emperor Luo were various ministers and members of the royal family, who were also starting at the projection intently.

Regardless of the outcome, there was no guarantee that the victor would become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple, but the loser definitely lost all hopes of becoming his disciple!

Why would Felicitous Rain Lord accept a loser as his disciple?

At that moment in time, a red figure flashed in the crowd. With his spear in hand, Chi Zhuiyun appeared above the desolate plains.

Chi Zhuiyun's eyes were bloodshot, and the spear that he held was nine feet nine inches in size. It shimmered with a cold glint of light.

Although he looked ordinary, Chi Zhuiyun had attracted everyone's gaze as he walked towards an empty space.

"He is Chi Zhuiyun, a person recognized by Felicitous Rain Lord."

"As long as he is defeated, the halo that belongs to him would be augmented on us. We would turn famous from a single battle!"

The geniuses gathered on the desolate plains murmured in a discussion.

Although there was great allure in defeating Chi Zhuiyun, everyone knew that it was very difficult to defeat him.

In fact, most people did not expect themselves to defeat Chi Zhuiyun. As long as they demonstrated their strength at this event and stood in the limelight, they would gain the attention of the alliance, even if they failed to gain the attention of Felicitous Rain Lord.

After Chi Zhuiyun appeared, he stood mid air without a word.

At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared beside him.

The middle-aged man was wearing a black robe and he looked highly-spirited. He was the Oracle Fey Kingdom ambassador deployed to the Luo clan — Yu Tianfeng.

Yi Yun obviously remembered him. Back when they were summoned by Emperor Luo, Yu Tianfeng was sitting on a seat of honor just second to Emperor Luo.

"Everyone!" Yu Tianfeng spoke. "Zhuiyun's issuance of a challenge was only for him to meet the young elites of the alliance, but we never expected that it would cause such a stir. With so many of you gathered here, we have really troubled everyone." Yu Tianfeng said with a chuckle, as though he sounded apologetic. However, even a blind man could tell that he was complacent with the sensational result.

"What does he mean meeting the young elites of the alliance? It's obvious that he wants to trample on us to go higher." Someone grumbled in private. Yu Tianfeng sure was thick-skinned.

Yu Tianfeng ignored what was on the people's minds. He continued, "With so many people here today at the southern desolate mountain plains, there are true dragons and phoenixes amongst you, but there are also shams. It is impossible to allow any random person to challenge Zhuiyun. Neither does he have the time and effort to do so. The person challenged will not only be limited to Zhuiyun. Other than my Oracle Fey Kingdom, all the factions present are free to spar with each other, but there are two points!"

"Every person is only given one chance at failure. Upon failure, they are not to fight again! And secondly... every faction is limited to having one person challenge Zhuiyun, not one more."

Yu Tianfeng's voice echoed throughout the southern desolate mountain plains, and when everyone heard this, they frowned.

Who did Yu Tianfeng think he was!?

What did he mean random person or shams? Although he had not explicitly referred to anyone, it was rather harsh on the ears on those who knew that they lacked the strength.

He was only an ambassador of the Oracle Fey Kingdom. If not for Felicitous Rain Lord owing a debt to Oracle Fey Kingdom's Imperial Patriarch, Yu Tianfeng would have been nothing!

With respects to challenging Chi Zhuiyun, for the southern desolate mountain plains to have these many elites gathered here, they were clearly here because of Chi Zhuiyun's challenge, but they were not here to challenge Chi Zhuiyun.

Now, with what Yu Tianfeng said, it was as though everyone was lining up to challenge Chi Zhuiyun. Who did Chi Zhuiyun think he was!? Ignoring the fact that Chi Zhuiyun was still not established as the number one person amongst the alliance's younger generation, even if he were the number one person, was it possible that prideful people like Tianya Haoyue and goddess Xi Ye would line up to challenge him? They would not want to degrade their stature.

"What we do here is none of your business!"

"Do you think that this is a martial arts tournament? Are you the organizer? Why are you announcing the rules here!?"

There were chaotic shouts in the crowd. Clearly, they did not give a damn about what Yu Tianfeng had said.

True Martial World - Chapter 932: No need for Reason

Upon hearing Luo Huo'er's shout, Yi Yun rubbed his forehead. Luo Huo'er always had an explosive streak and she did everything on a whim. She was a princess after all, while the two members of the Eternal Eventide Sea probably enjoyed a status that was beneath Luo Mo’s. Even Ye Yi, who enjoyed a slightly higher status than his two companions, was obviously inferior to Luo Huo'er.

Their conversation could have been ignored actually. As a princess, there was no need for Luo Huo'er to be bothered about them. Yi Yun did not expect Luo Huo'er to directly hurl invectives at the members of the Eternal Eventide Sea, annoying them as a result.

They did not know Luo Huo'er's identity. The only thing to blame would be on Luo Huo'er because she did not like having a royal entourage. Typically, princes and princesses would have a grand procession, with plebeians being shooed aside. They were not like Luo Huo'er, who would enter a crowd after changing into any random set of clothes. How the hell would anyone know who she was?

"Which witless lass is she, for her to be squawking so much? Could it be that the both of you are from the Luo clan?"

The speaking man had a look of disdain on his face. As he spoke, he continued drinking his tea.

The other young man glanced at Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er's clothes. With a judgment in mind, he guffawed, "Hahaha! They really are from the Luo clan. Why? Did my words hit a soft spot? From what I know, the Luo clan only has a Princess Purple Spirit that's fairly alright. And beneath her, there's some Yun guy. They only have two people. They are nothing impressive when compared to our Eternal Eventide clan."

Some Yun guy?

When Yi Yun heard this, he stroked his chin with a strange look on his face. Was his existence that poor?

He turned his head and he saw Luo Huo'er stopping herself from bursting out in laughter when she heard them. She looked like she was enjoying the pleasure derived from his misfortune.

Yi Yun shook his head helplessly. The large clans were limited in their understanding of each other's talents. The Eternal Eventide clan had probably heard of Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er only when they arrived in the Luo clan.

A smile harboring evil designs hung on Luo Huo'er's face. She produced a conjuration using her fingers and flicked it.

Seeing Luo Huo'er no longer speaking, the two disciples of the Eternal Eventide Sea chuckled and they continued drinking their tea.

However, they never expected that as they drank their tea…

"Ah!"

The Eternal Eventide Sea disciples suddenly leaped up three feet high, like they had drunk poison. Their bodies convulsed violently as they held their hands on their necks. Their faces were flushed red as their eyes nearly popped out.

They opened their mouths in an attempt to spit the tea out, but the tea had long vanished. What they spat out were flames.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

The flames burned at an extremely high temperature. Be it the tea table or the ground, a hole had been burned through them whenever the flames touched them!

"Hot! Hot!" An Eternal Eventide Sea disciple shouted in a muffled voice. "My tongue! Tongue!"

"Tongue?" Luo Huo'er feigned a look of surprise. "Tsk tsk tsk, oh my. Your tongue seems to be well-done... Barbecue pig's tongue. What you said earlier shows how witty your tongue is. Why are you so hard on yourself to go so far as to burn your own tongue?"

Luo Huo'er was one who never spared her words to infuriate others to the grave. Yi Yun watched secretly on the side in horror. This demonic lass was really not to be trifled with. The conjuration that Luo Huo'er had produced had flown into the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples' tea cup in an undetectable manner. As a result, they had drunk the fire-elemental conjuration.

Just the two conjurations had resulted in such terrifying damage. Luo Huo'er's insights into fire-elemental laws had truly reached the crest of perfection.

Yi Yun estimated that the two poor souls would probably lose their tongues. A devilish girl like Luo Huo'er would not hold back. The flames were not ordinary either. Yi Yun could discern that the flames were like tarsal maggots through the Purple Crystal's vision. The flames had pervasive energies, so the duo's protective Yuan Qi was completely insufficient to resist her conjurations.

Not only were their tongues damaged, even their oral cavities were burnt badly. Although they could be restored with heavenly treasures, it would result in them not being to eat or speak for several months. Furthermore, the cost of the heavenly treasures was not a small sum.

"Witch, I'll… I'll kill you!"

The two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples endured the pain as they shouted. Luo Huo'er gave a disdainful scoff. She nonchalantly picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table and flicked them.

"Whew! Whew!"

The two chopsticks flew straight at the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples like arrows!

Seeing the chopsticks flying at them, the Yuan Qi of the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples burst out as they punched out while enduring their pain!

Boom!

Energy blasted outwards like a volcanic eruption. Even divine wood grown for a hundred thousand years would be shattered into wood chips by the two punches, let alone a pair of ordinary wooden chopsticks!

However, the pair of chopsticks were extraordinary in Luo Huo'er's hands. At the instant that she flicked them, she had embedded laws into them. Now, the pair of chopsticks were flickering with fire-elemental runes on the surface as they exuded a mysterious air to them.

The highly-compressed fire-elemental energies caused the pair of chopsticks to ignite. Like two meteors, they streaked towards the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples!

"Peng! Peng!"

With the sound of two explosive blasts, the punch blasts from the duo were penetrated! Immediately following that, fire surged at their faces without any resistance.

The inferno blast apart, sending the duo flying back. Their hair was burnt and flared in all directions. Their faces were completely black from the ashes.

"This is… "

Many people had witnessed the battle in the makeshift tea hut. They had seen the Eternal Eventide Sea disciples provoke the red-dressed girl before she attacked them. In a few short seconds, she had beaten them so badly that even their parents would not be able to identify them.

Who was the girl dressed in red?

At that moment, the young man, who had an accessory that resembled a black pair of wings hanging on his neck, stood up. He shattered his tea cup by tapping on it. The tea did not spill, but it was wrapped in Yuan Qi, as the concoction spun in mid air.

The young man tapped it gently once again and the tea split into two clear streams and entered the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples' mouths.

The fires was extinguished by the tea, but their tongues were already burnt to a crisp.

They groaned in pain on the ground, while Luo Huo'er looked at the young man. She had heard the two disciples addressing him as Senior Brother Ye Yi.

Although Ye Yi was relatively strong, he was clearly not the strongest person in the Eternal Eventide clan. Luo Huo'er gave Ye Yi a lazy glance and said, "Using a bit of water to extinguish my fire? Are you trying to flaunt your attainment in water-elemental laws?" Luo Huo'er said in derision.

Ye Yi said coldly, "For your fire-elemental laws to attain such a standard, you must be illustrious in the Luo clan, but... the two of them had only offended you with words, aren't you going too far by harming them to such an extent?"

"You can consider me to be rather benevolent. I helped them burn their tongues because their wagging tongues were too long. In many places and many occasions, uttering the wrong words can result in death!" Luo Huo'er said nonchalantly, with a faint dominance in her tone. Even Ye Yi was overshadowed by her dominance.

"In a warrior's world, it is nothing rare for a misspoken sentence to result in death. Many people are killed even without saying a word. There is no need for reason, and the reason is simply because... you are not stronger than the person who is killing you."

While saying this, Luo Huo'er stood up as she played with the pair of chopsticks in her hand... noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

True Martial World - Chapter 931: Eternal Eventide Sea

As the date of Chi Zhuiyun's challenge loomed, all of the Luo clan royal capital's hotels and motels were filled to the brim with people. People could not even obtain a room, despite the amount of wealth they had. Many warriors ended up meditating on the southern desolate mountain plains, as they waited for the event to begin.

Some warriors even began to construct houses on the southern desolate mountain plains or they even began to erect their immortal abodes. Instantly, the uninhabited southern desolate mountain plains began to bustle. It was like a city was built overnight.

Now, the battle was no longer just a matter pertaining to the Luo clan and the White Fox clan. More and more people were embroiled in the matter, with many hoping to become famous from a single battle so they could gain Felicitous Rain Lord's attention.

"Zhuiyun, there are many people targeting you. You being in the limelight has now made you a target to become a stepping stone." Yu Tianfeng said to Chi Zhuiyun as they sat in the Oracle Fey Kingdom's Ambassador Palace.

As an ambassador of the Oracle Fey Kingdom, Yu Tianfeng was very pleased to see Chi Zhuiyun cause such a stir in the Luo clan royal capital. This was a manifestation of the power that the Oracle Fey Kingdom had.

Chi Zhuiyun was sitting on a futon meditating. A nine-foot spear was silently floating in front of him.

"These people want to trample over me to gain fame, but that saves me the trouble. I was planning on going to the other factions and have a nice meeting with each and every one of them. Now it's even better, it can be done once and for all."

As he spoke, Chi Zhuiyun grabbed the spear. The cold sheen on the spear flashed in the darkness of space, like it was a fleeting star that appeared in the night sky before disappearing.

The spear's name was Bloodthirst, a name that originated from Chi Zhuiyun's Dao Domain.

Chi Zhuiyun looked up at the battle arena in the desolate plains. His eyes flashed with fighting spirit.

"I will definitely gain your recognition. I know that a simple bout alone might not be enough to let you think otherwise of me even if I were to defeat everyone, but that is only just the beginning. I will definitely make you take me in as a disciple."

As Chi Zhuiyun spoke, his figure flashed. Like a meteor that streaked through the sky, he flew towards the southern desolate mountain plains.

...

"Little Yun, stop staying in reclusion. You've been in there for so many days. It's turmoil out here, yet you are still in there. Hurry up and come out!"

Yi Yun had just undergone a bloody battle in the Heavenly Slaughter Array when he heard Luo Huo'er calling him from outside.

Yi Yun thought. Turmoil?

He walked out of the Heavenly Slaughter Array and he saw that Luo Huo'er was beaming, like she was extremely excited.

"What's the matter?"

"There's no time to explain. Hurry up and follow me. I'll tell you along the way!"

How could Luo Huo'er miss such a grand event that happened so rarely in the Luo clan?

When Yi Yun accompanied Luo Huo'er to the southern desolate mountain plains, he was astounded by what he saw.

Was this the legendary southern desolate mountain plains? There were too many people here!

Not only was there a large number of warriors. Houses, immortal abodes, and even hotels were erected on the plains.

To warriors, buying a portable abode was not expensive. With more people gathering, it was only natural that businessmen began to open restaurants. They just needed to erect a mobile abode on the desolate plains.

"Oh? There are quite a number of humans here… "

Yi Yun seldom saw humans in the Luo clan, while humans were nearly extinct in the White Fox clan. But now, Yi Yun saw several humans wearing black robes. However, they were quite different from the humans in the Tian Yuan world. They had black hair and purple eyes. Their facial features were more prominent and exquisite. They were good looking, regardless of their gender. Furthermore, they wore V-shaped golden accessories on their necks and the accessories had had unknown gems embedded in them. They had quite a mysterious beauty to them.

"They are people from the Eternal Eventide Sea." Luo Huo'er said.

"Are they humans?" Yi Yun asked in surprise.

Luo Huo'er shook her head, "They may look human, but they don't consider themselves to be human. Instead, they call themselves the Chosen of the Divinity. According to the records of the Eternal Eventide Sea, their ancestors were the chosen race of the Divinity. As they continued to multiply in numbers, they barred marriage with other humans in order to ensure that their bloodline wasn't diluted. From their point of view, ordinary humans are people who were abandoned by the Divinity, greatly inferior to their nobility."

"The Chosen of the Divinity?" Yi Yun chuckled. It sounded like a religion from a different world.

"Don't scoff." Luo Huo'er could tell what was on Yi Yun's mind. "They are quite capable. The Eternal Eventide Sea's strength is in no way weaker than the Luo clan. Although they are of equal strength, there are only a few million members in the Eternal Eventide Sea."

"Oh? A few million?" Yi Yun was taken aback. How many people did the Luo clan have? The population numbered a trillion with 196 states, the royal capital, and the large family clans at least.

The Eternal Eventide Sea only had a few million people, but its strength was comparable to the Luo clan's?

Yi Yun knew that in a warrior's world, the number of people had little impact on strength. What truly mattered was the number and quality of mighty figures and geniuses. The former determined the faction's present strength, while the latter determined its future strength.

This meant that the number of mighty figures and geniuses that appeared out of a few million people in the Eternal Eventide Sea was comparable to the number produced by the Luo clan's population that numbered a trillion!

Yi Yun saw a few people from the Eternal Eventide Sea and indeed, amongst their younger generation, Heaven Ascension perfection and Dao Manifestation were the common cultivation realms. Furthermore, their auras were converged, making them seem unfathomably strong.

Under the same conditions, to be able to achieve this stage in the Luo clan meant a chance of entering the Luo Divine Hall trials. And this qualification was one in a billion!

The Eternal Eventide Sea was not a power to be belittled.

With this thought in mind, he saw a few young men from the Eternal Eventide Sea drinking tea while chatting in a makeshift tea hut.

"Who does that Chi Zhuiyun think he is? After merely winning a few battles in the Luo clan and beating a few tiny factions in a trial, he dares to claim that he will sweep the alliance!? What a joke. With our Eternal Eventide Sea here, we will teach him a lesson!"

"That's right, our Eternal Eventide's goddess is peerless. Chi Zhuiyun is nothing. The Oracle Fey Kingdom relies on the massive number of people that it has and they choose one or two geniuses that can barely make it from that number. That's how they prevent themselves from having too few geniuses."

"As for the Luo clan, it's even worse. I heard that the Luo clan takes in any type of people. They can be Earth Fey, human, or even someone from the lower realms! How much distrust do they have of their bloodline? Despite having such a model, the ratio of geniuses that they have is just pathetic. Furthermore, the people that are selected aren't impressive either. There's no need to even talk about our Eternal Eventide goddess, just the two of us can reign supreme in the Luo clan. As for Senior Brother Ye Yi, he will be ranked top three in the Luo clan."

Ye Yi, who the two youths from the Eternal Eventide clan were talking about, was sitting in the middle of the two.

Ye Yi looked young with black hair that cascaded down his body like a waterfall. He had the beauty of a woman and jade like fingers that were long and slender.

He was a beautiful young man with extremely exquisite looks. The accessory across his chest were different from the others. Unlike the V-shape ones that the others had, his accessory was a black pair of wings. It seemed like he enjoyed a different status.

Ye Yi did not comment on the duo's compliments, but Luo Huo'er could not stand hearing this.

"I was wondering where the two toads came from. Black all over, and their croaks are so harsh on the ears!"

"Oh!?" With Luo Huo'er's words fading away, the two men from the Eternal Eventide Sea, who had just spoken, immediately looked at Luo Huo'er!
