A Fight to the Death
Heaven and Earth, Black Ruolan Star.
This classification method already existed in a vague form in ancient times, when different tribes were not even aware of each other's existence.
Take mountain climbing as an example.
The Yellow Realm signifies the foundation, the process by which awakened beings reach the foot of the mountain.
The awakened individuals at this stage are not significantly different in strength; they are all at the starting point of climbing their own "path."
However, starting from the Profound Realm, cultivation enters a phase of gradual progress.
Talent, aptitude, life level, and so on, will all begin to affect the height of the mountain and the speed of climbing it.
In other words, significant differences will begin to emerge in the upper limits, strength at the same level, and cultivation speed among living beings.
As for the Earth Realm and the Heaven Realm, those are the process of climbing to the summit and the beginning of climbing another great mountain.
I won't go into too much detail here.
In short, the Yellow Realm and the Earth Realm are truly separated by the distance between the foot of the mountain and the summit.
Between the two of them lies a chasm that is almost insurmountable.
But now, Shisui, located at the very bottom, looks into the distance, its spearhead aimed directly at one of the three Earth Realm that are about to reach the top.
His arrogance reached its peak as his fighting spirit soared, and for a moment, it was almost indistinguishable from the aura of the opposing Earth Realm.
The three Demon Race from the Earth Realm were startled to discover they had been ambushed, but they quickly sensed the enemy's level of cultivation.
Yellow Realm Ninth-Realm Peak.
Such a low level of understanding first stunned them, and then they felt an overwhelming sense of contempt and disdain.
For a moment, they couldn't even muster the urge to be their enemy.
"You piece of trash, are you tired of living and want a quick death? Get lost, I'm too busy to deal with you!"
Tumen Feiying —the Demon Race who had been attacked—spoke up.
The most urgent thing is to go to Embracing Moon Peak to check on Snow Spirit's condition. Damn it, this piece of trash got off easy.
As he was thinking this, he received a signal from his colleague.
The other two Demon Race from the other Earth Realms clearly intended to bypass Shisui and head towards Embracing Moon Peak.
Tumen Feiying nodded, agreeing to their suggestion, and prepared to catch up with her companions.
Clearly, none of them believed that Shisui was capable of traversing the snow barrier in a short time to steal the Spirit Treasure.
There must be other guys causing trouble, and they're probably still on Embracing Moon Peak.
They must get there as soon as possible to find out what's going on.
Just as they took their first step forward!
"Whoosh! Boom--"
The slash that tore through space suddenly descended, instantly shattering the void where Tumen Feiying had landed.
Tumen Feiying deftly took a step back, avoiding the resulting Spatial Turbulence, but her expression suddenly turned gloomy.
"A mere Earth Realm expert, is that all?"
The Shisui mockery instantly broke the pride of this Demon Race, whose face turned from black to red, and the veins on his fists bulged.
He was a frontline soldier who was discharged due to serious injuries. In the Demon Race, guys like him are called "discharged soldiers".
As the name suggests, these are soldiers who are not strong enough and have been cut from the front lines or deemed unsuitable.
"Damn it! You're asking for it!"
Tumen Feiying's brown wings fluttered, and in the next moment she appeared in front of Shisui!
With a loud "bang," the fist slammed into Shisui's face.
Shisui immediately raised his hand to block, his Koukaku thickening frantically at the ulna of both hands, but it was still shattered by this powerful blow.
Shisui's figure flew backward uncontrollably, carving a long furrow in the uneven ground on the mountaintop.
"Tch, overestimating yourself," Tumen Feiying scoffed. "Let's go..."
"When!"
The Radiant Feathers shot out from the Alternate Space and was blocked just one centimeter from Tumen Feiying's eyes.
Tumen Feiying's pupils involuntarily contracted in surprise.
Then, realizing what was happening, the anger he had just suppressed surged up again.
This time, he could no longer suppress his murderous intent.
Anyone would be angry at such blatant provocation.
What's more, it's as if a powerful figure from the Earth Realm is being mocked so openly by an insignificant ant from the Yellow Realm!
"You guys go first, I'll be right there after I kill this flea."
"Ha! Tumen Feiying, you're being looked down upon? You keep having fun, we're leaving now."
"That little piece of trash has some guts. Remember not to leave him a whole corpse!"
"Get lost! I'm not playing this game! Just kill Yellow Realm!"
After saying that, Tumen Feiying ignored his colleagues who were full of sarcasm.
Since he was injured and retired to serve under the Duke's Residence, no one has ever dared to look down on him to his face!
Tumen Feiying didn't even draw the long sword from his waist; he charged directly at Shisui in the distance amidst the smoke and dust.
Shisui stared at the Second Realm Earth Realm expert who had come alone from the group, a maniacal smile spreading across his face beneath the half-mask.
They're so easy to hook.
The Radiant Feathers that had just been unleashed suddenly released all its Spatial Energy, causing multiple turbulent currents to appear in the space at the mountaintop.
The Shisui and chaotic Spatial Energy waves spread unchecked, spiraling out of control and temporarily isolating the mountaintop.
A makeshift battlefield was instantly formed, one that outsiders could not easily enter or spy on, and that the creatures inside could not easily leave.
Shisui could no longer teleport through the now completely raging Spatial Turbulence; there was no way out.
At the same time, the Flesh Crystals in the ring were completely consumed, and the Snow Spirit in the Alternate Space could no longer be accessed.
He was forcing himself to burn his bridges, forcing himself to fight a desperate battle.
Tumen Feiying also noticed the anomaly in the space, but he didn't care.
He can easily smooth out this turbulence with a wave of his hand after dealing with this reptile.
The speed of the powerful cultivator from the Earth Realm was extremely fast. The moment he activated his Radiant Feathers, his attack came crashing down with overwhelming force.
"Snap!"
Tumen Feiying drew his sword and easily sliced through eight layers Shisui Koukaku and flesh, stopping just above Shisui's ulna.
Shisui seized the opportunity, lashing out with his Bikaku and striking suddenly at the enemy's waist and abdomen.
Tumen Feiying naturally wouldn't do as he wished.
The hand was suddenly pulled downwards, and following the force, it slashed diagonally downwards, directly striking the incoming Bikaku.
A single Bikaku was no match for the attack from the Earth Realm and was easily severed.
However, Shisui Bikaku more than one tail.
The remaining seven Bikaku, along with Shisui's four limbs, suddenly sprang up and wrapped around Tumen Feiying from all directions.
The more powerful Rinkaku Scorpion Tail shot out simultaneously, accompanied by Steel Feathers with great penetrating power, directly stabbing towards Tumen Feiying's tailbone.
In the instant before being stabbed, Tumen Feiying suddenly exerted force in her limbs!
"Bang!"
Shisui's Bikaku, which had been wrapped around the opponent's, exploded, and the two layers of Koukaku on the surface of its limbs also shattered inch by inch.
Shisui, at the cost of breaking all his Bikaku, barely managed to pierce Tumen Feiying's skin.
The scorpion's stinger detached and embedded itself in the opponent's skin.
If you look closely, the stinger is still burrowing into the enemy's body.
Tumen Feiying naturally had no intention of letting the tail needle attack unchecked, and punched Shisui away, creating distance between them.
Then, he casually pulled out the sharp spikes that had been used to tickle his lower back, ignoring the negligible amount of toxins.
Shisui was sent flying backward again, but this time, he pushed off with both feet and stopped less than fifteen meters away.
He spat out the blood that had gushed out from his ruptured internal organs, and his flesh began to wriggle and grow, his Kagune instantly being completely repaired.
"That last attack was pretty good, but unfortunately, the poison you used wasn't strong enough."
Shisui watched as Tumen Feiying stretched his hips, his gaze becoming slightly more serious.
"Kid, you managed to hurt me with the strength of the Yellow Realm, I take back my previous assessment of you."
Tumen Feiying formed his five fingers into a claw, activated his talent, and suddenly clenched downwards.
"Bang!"
Shisui's head seemed to be grabbed by something; before he could resist, he was slammed to the ground.
Tumen Feiying looked down at Shisui, who had been knocked to the ground, and spoke softly.
"You are a threat that must be eliminated, die!"
Shisui's fallen body was instantly crushed.
