The Fastest-Dying Dou Zun Strong—Please Bookmark

Dark clouds blanketed the sky as lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

Bronze Sky Thunder flickered at the edge of the clouds, like dragons and serpents crawling behind the storm clouds. It illuminated the stillness of the night and filled the Beast Mountain Range with a trace of fear.

The booming thunder was like drums beating beside their ears, deafening everyone.

Wu Protector's eyes lit up, and the corners of his lips curled upward. "Hehehe, our strong one has finally arrived!"

The clouds churned as a blood-red tornado rose with them. Wherever it passed, countless trees were uprooted.

Everyone's expressions changed abruptly, especially those of the Gold Silver Two Elders. They were the closest to becoming Dou Zong Strong, so they naturally sensed the terrifying power erupting from it.

"This astonishing pressure... could it be... a Dou Zun Strong!"

"Impossible... How could a Dou Zun Strong appear in the eastern Beast Mountain Range? It must be fake."

The Gold Silver Two Elders were scared out of their wits, nearly falling to their knees beneath that aura.

The Dou Zun realm far surpassed the Dou Huang realm. Even if everyone present joined forces, they could not possibly be a match for this Dou Zun Strong.

Even Han Feng had not expected such a powerful being to be here. The Ascending Heaven Pavilion's background was evidently terrifying beyond measure.

Just as the tornado was about to reach the valley where the Ascending Heaven Pavilion stood, a streak of cold energy shot out from within the pavilion. It immediately transformed into a sharp sword in midair and shot forth at the speed of light.

Before everyone's horrified eyes, the blade pierced straight through the blood-red tornado. In its place, an old man in blood-red robes crashed heavily onto the ground. Upon closer inspection, his head was already gone.

Everyone stood frozen in place.

Even the air seemed to have solidified.

Wu Protector swallowed and hurried to the corpse. His face turned pale at the bloody sight. Judging from the man's clothes, he should have been a Venerable Elder...

"This... this..."

Wu Protector rubbed his eyes before finally recalling who this man was. A Soul Hall Venerable Elder, a one-star Dou Zun Strong—Blood-colored Old Ghost!

The other party had actually slain a Dou Zun Strong in a single strike. Just what kind of background did the Ascending Heaven Pavilion possess to be this terrifying? Was this even a realm humans could reach?!

Inside the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.

Li Xiao sampled the pastries Ya Fei had made and could not help praising Lian Xue. Her moves were decisive and clean. Anyone who dared threaten even a blade of grass within the Ascending Heaven Pavilion could be killed outright.

Still, it was a pity for that Venerable Elder. He had only just appeared before dying... He had actually been quite strong, frightening the eastern Beast Mountain Range into hiding everywhere.

Even after a long while, they could not recover from their shock. Was this a dream? A Dou Zun Strong was just... this? He had not even made his entrance, nor had he said a single word before dying... That was far too cheap.

Wu Protector's face darkened. Training a Dou Huang might not have been much, but a Dou Zun was different. Nurturing every Dou Zun Strong required enormous expenditures of manpower, resources, and wealth.

Yet one had now died without a sound, without even displaying his abilities, without even having time to announce his name... His life had simply ended.

It was utterly inconceivable!

Niu Meng glanced at the bloody corpse, forcefully snapped off one of its fingers, and removed the Ring. He then turned to look at Wu Protector beside him.

A sharp glint flickered in his eyes.

"You knew this old bastard?"

Wu Protector hurriedly waved his hands. He could sense intense killing intent from Niu Meng. It was obvious that if he said one more wrong word, his fate would be identical to Blood-colored Old Ghost's.

"No, no... Of course I don't know him. I was merely seeing who he was, acting so arrogantly and daring to cause trouble near the Ascending Heaven Pavilion. If it were me, I would have personally killed him too!"

Wu Protector's words cleared him of suspicion, but he could only watch helplessly as Niu Meng took the Venerable Elder's Ring.

He had truly lost both the bride and the troops.

Why did that idiot have to show off for no reason? Did seeing so many strong people here make walking through the air no longer satisfying enough for him?

Wu Protector cursed under his breath. How was he supposed to explain this? Half an hour passed quickly, and the gates of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion slowly opened.

Ya Fei smiled gracefully. "Everyone, the Ascending Heaven Pavilion is now officially open. Please enter."

The crowd entered with pale faces, beginning to wonder whether the Dou Zun Strong had been killed by the woman before them.

Jia Xingtian frowned. "It's her. I never expected to see her here."

"You know her?" Fa Ma, the Alchemist Association's president, turned and asked.

"Teng Shan of the Mite'er Family's granddaughter, Mite'er Ya Fei."

Upon hearing this, President Fa Ma said solemnly, "Since when has the Mite'er Family begun cooperating with the Ascending Heaven Pavilion? How did we not know about this?"

"Forget you—even the strong of the entire Jia Ma Empire probably don't know. That kid Mitre Tengshan is truly good at keeping things hidden."

Jia Xingtian shrugged. He had wanted to exchange a few pleasantries with the young girl, but there were too many people behind him, so he could only leave first and ask her what had happened later.

The people of the Jia Ma Empire had all heard of Ya Fei's beauty, but they were puzzled as to why someone from the Mite'er Family was connected to the Ascending Heaven Pavilion. Could the two sides have joined forces? If that was truly the case, those strong who had looked down on the Mite'er Family would not dare make another move. They did not want the Mite'er Family's destruction to offend the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.

As the emperor of the Jia Ma Empire, Jia Xingtian also fell into deep thought. If that was the case, it would be better for him to seize this opportunity to form an alliance as well.

That way, the Jia Ma Empire's position would become unshakable. By then, the Four Great Empires might even be formally unified.

At the thought of this, Jia Xingtian actually laughed rather shamelessly, drawing disdainful looks from the emperors of the other empires. What filthy thoughts was that old bastard having?

According to their original allotments, everyone went to their designated places to better participate in the auction.

Those carrying more Gold Coins naturally went to the third floor, while those of middling means could only sit on the second floor. The rest were not picky and simply found chairs to sit on.

They were still marveling at the earlier battle. It had been truly shocking, utterly unbelievable.

Thinking about it now, they could not help sighing at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion's power. It killed Dou Zun Strong whenever it pleased. That was a realm that existed only in dreams.

Ya Fei walked to the center of the Crystal Stage and bowed deeply to the crowd. "I am very pleased to welcome everyone to the Ascending Heaven Pavilion."

"Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Ya Fei, and I come from the Mite'er Family. At the same time, I am the Ascending Heaven Pavilion's new auctioneer. I will personally handle all future auction items."
