"Heh, just a bunch of beasts. How dare you act so presumptuously?"
Just then, a voice rang out from afar, immediately drawing countless gazes.
At some point, a figure dressed in black had appeared not far from Su Ting and the others. Long hair as black as ink fell loosely over his shoulders, lending him an indescribably carefree air.
His eyes were deep enough to draw people in. Though he gave off no presence whatsoever, merely standing there, he inspired a chilling sense of danger.
"Li Tianxing of the Dao-Demon Sect!"
Everyone's pupils contracted sharply as they recognized who he was!
Li Tianxing was the most outstanding demonic scion in the history of the Dao-Demon Sect, with cultivation at the peak of the Soul Sea Realm. He appeared refined and graceful as jade, but was in fact a ruthless and merciless man. Once someone crossed him, he would not rest until one of them was dead.
"Heavens, why are all the monstrous talents here this time?" someone exclaimed. In past years, the opening of the Thousand Mysteries Secret Realm had also drawn crowds of geniuses, but the very finest monstrous talents had rarely shown themselves.
Yet this time, Jian Wuya of the Sword Emperor Sect, Su Ting of Heaven's Gate Palace, Li Tianxing of the Dao-Demon Sect, Ao Mo, dragon scion of the Demon Dragon Clan, and Teng Yi, prince of the Demon Peng Clan, had all appeared. Any one of them was a leading figure capable of suppressing an entire era.
Could the opening of the Thousand Mysteries Secret Realm be different from previous years?
"Brother Su." Li Tianxing nodded slightly toward Su Ting and greeted him with a smile. Then he turned to look at Ao Mo and Teng Yi. A powerful killing intent seemed to flow through his pitch-black eyes.
"I wondered who it was. So it's you, you stray dog. I let you escape with your life last time, yet you still dare show your face. If you fall into my hands again, you won't be so lucky," Ao Mo said coldly, smiling with chilling malice.
Everyone froze at his words. From what Ao Mo had said, there seemed to be a considerable grudge between him and Li Tianxing.
"Heh." Li Tianxing smiled, but his gaze grew even colder. "The same goes for you. Don't let me catch you off guard. Otherwise, I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead."
Li Tianxing seemed unwilling to say more, but that brief sentence carried an intensely murderous intent.
"Look!"
Someone suddenly shouted, and everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice. The next moment, astonishment appeared in many eyes.
In the distant sky, a group of women in white stepped through the air. With their robes fluttering, they looked like fairies and goddesses descending to the mortal world, stirring the hearts of all who saw them.
One in particular had a breathtakingly beautiful face, flawless and perfect, beautiful enough to leave people breathless. Only her rather icy gaze made her seem difficult to approach.
"The Moon Spirit Palace of the Guanghan Ancient Domain." Countless eyes filled with infatuation as they watched the fairy-like figures approach through the air.
"That's Luo Wanwan, the Moon Spirit Palace's goddess of this generation, right?" someone in the crowd said dreamily. "If I could marry her, I'd gladly give up a hundred years of my life."
"You? Dream on!" someone immediately sneered. "Luo Wanwan is the number one beauty of the Ancient Eight Domains. Who knows how many heaven's chosen have fallen for her? Among her suitors are imperial crown princes and monstrous sect talents, yet Luo Wanwan has looked down on every last one of them."
"Indeed. I wonder who could possibly be blessed by heaven enough to spend his life with her."
Discussion rippled through the crowd. In the Heaven's Gate Palace group, a flicker of emotion appeared in Su Ting's eyes. He stepped forward. "Fairy, you've arrived?"
"Young Master Su." The fairy-like women all stopped, and Luo Wanwan looked at Su Ting and nodded gently. But after that single response, she said nothing more, seemingly unwilling to speak with anyone.
Su Ting's gaze flickered, and he smiled faintly without saying anything further. As one of Heaven's Gate Palace's foremost talents, he was naturally very proud.
"Haha, they say the Moon Spirit Palace is filled with peerless beauties, and that the goddess Luo Wanwan is the most exquisite beauty in the world. Now that I've seen her, she certainly lives up to her reputation."
At that moment, a rather grating voice suddenly rang out. Everyone looked over, immediately frowning as their expressions darkened.
The speaker was none other than Ao Mo, the Demon Dragon Clan's dragon scion.
"Fairy Wan'er, I heard of your beauty long ago. Seeing you today, you truly are as the rumors say, lovelier than words can describe. Why not return to the Demon Domain with me and become my crown princess?" Ao Mo said loudly, without the slightest restraint.
Everyone's expressions turned especially ugly. Ao Mo was truly going too far. He actually wanted Luo Wanwan to return to the Demon Domain and become his crown princess?
Yet Luo Wanwan seemed entirely unmoved. She merely gave Ao Mo an indifferent glance and still said nothing.
"Shut your mouth!" a cold voice snapped. Su Ting looked at Ao Mo, his gaze icy. He had disliked Ao Mo to begin with, all the more so now that Ao Mo had spoken disrespectfully to Luo Wanwan.
"When I speak, what right do you have to interrupt?" Ao Mo shot Su Ting a look, his tone overbearing and arrogant.
"Beast, you're courting death." At those words, Su Ting's presence erupted around him. At once, rolling thunder seemed to roar through heaven and earth, and boundless lightning flashed wildly through the air, an overwhelming display of power.
"Hmph." Seeing Su Ting unleash his pressure, Ao Mo refused to be outdone. His body shook, and a dragon's roar rang out, shaking the heavens. Fierce winds swept across the sky as dark clouds churned. Wave after wave of terrifying demonic pressure descended, blotting out the sky and causing countless faces to change.
Ao Mo was arrogant, but his strength was extraordinary. That demonic pressure alone made many people's expressions change. They staggered, the Qi and blood within them surging and their breathing becoming unsteady.
"Let me see what you, the so-called Innate Thunder Venerable, are capable of." Ao Mo lifted his foot and walked forward.
"Enough to kill you!" Thunderous might surged around Su Ting as he too stepped forward.
But just then, bursts of demonic beasts' shrieks suddenly came from the distance. Everyone was startled. Could more people from the Demon Domain be coming?
In the Demon Race camp, the demonic beasts turned around one after another, their eyes full of confusion. Only Ao Mo and Teng Yi had come to the Heavenly Wind Ancient Domain this time. They had heard nothing about anyone else from the Demon Race coming.
The shrieks drew nearer, and their source turned out to be nine golden demonic flood dragons! Behind them, they pulled an enormous carriage. The carriage resembled a small palace, magnificent and splendid beyond compare.
Scarlet figures of Asuras were carved into the walls around the palace, exuding boundless murderous ferocity.
"People from the Asura Domain!" everyone exclaimed. Nine dragons pulled the carriage. Just what was the identity of the person the Asura Domain had sent this time, to arrive with such pomp?
The carriage rumbled closer, and a grim killing intent filled heaven and earth. The entire area around the Thousand Mysteries Secret Realm fell deathly silent; not a bird or a crow could be heard.
Everyone stared solemnly at the carriage drawn by nine dragons. All were curious about who was inside.
The carriage slowly came to a halt before the secret realm. The nine golden demonic flood dragons stopped shrieking and obediently lowered their bodies. Yet their crimson eyes glanced from time to time at the people around them, their fierce might reaching the heavens.
Jian Wuya, Su Ting, Li Tianxing, and the others also fixed their gazes on the carriage, their eyes flickering. Even Luo Wanwan, the goddess of the Moon Spirit Palace, raised her head, a faint ripple passing through her tranquil, beautiful eyes.
Others might not know, but as leading figures of their respective sects, they naturally knew a few things.
Not long ago, the Asura Domain had announced to the world that a new generation's Asura Blood Scion had emerged!
The Ancient Eight Domains also had powers such as imperial dynasties and immortal dynasties. But these dynasties were merely among the many powers within a domain, and could only dominate one region.
Thus, the so-called crown princes of these dynasties were not much different in status from the scions of other sects or the young masters of lineages.
The Asura Domain, however, was different. Of the eight domains, only the Asura Domain was truly unified. And the Asura Blood Scion was the crown prince of the Asura Domain! His status far surpassed that of the other imperial crown princes and sect scions.
Within an entire domain, he stood below only one person! Who could compare with that?
Thus, Su Ting and the others were also somewhat curious and expectant about this newly appointed Asura Blood Scion. What sort of extraordinarily gifted figure could occupy the position of the first person beneath the Asura Emperor?
The carriage stopped, and a group of figures filed out, then stood respectfully on either side.
At this sight, the eyes of many flickered sharply. Jian Wuya, Su Ting, and the others in particular looked surprised.
Qin Lang, Chu Tian, Song You'er, Yan Chen, Tai Yu!
The young kings from the Asura Domain's five great blood clans! Any one of them was an extraordinarily gifted, top-tier monstrous talent. Yet now, judging by their postures and expressions, they were exceedingly respectful. There was even a trace of awe on their faces.
The people of the Asura Domain, even its lowliest soldiers, were exceedingly unruly and arrogant, looking down on everyone. On the battlefields of the heavens, none fought more fiercely and savagely than the Asura Domain.
Not even the Demon Domain could compare with the Asura Domain in that respect.
When they fought, one side lived and the other died! That was the way of the Asura Domain's people!
Even ordinary people were like that, to say nothing of the five young kings.
Yet now, seeing the five young kings behave this way was truly inconceivable.
Luo Wanwan's gaze swept over Qin Lang and the other four, a ripple passing through her beautiful eyes, clear as colored glass. She sensed an unusual fluctuation from the five of them.
Heavenly Dao Fortune!
All five young kings actually possessed Heavenly Dao Fortune!?
"Heh, quite lively, isn't it?" A voice rang out from the carriage with a faint laugh. Then a young man stepped out and came into everyone's view.
His white robes were like snow, unstained by a speck of dust. His features were handsome and refined, and he carried himself with an otherworldly air. But the smile on his face gave him a frivolous air.
At that moment, countless gazes converged on the white-robed young man. Su Ting and the others narrowed their eyes slightly, an unusual look appearing in them.
Ning Xuanyuan, the Asura Blood Scion of the Asura Domain!
"No need to stare at me. You two carry on." Ning Xuanyuan grinned and waved at Su Ting and Ao Mo.
