The Sacred War Begins (Part Two)

In the final days, Zhuge Xiang fought fiercely at the foot of the Sacred Mountain. The Asura host of the Asura Path were inherently filled with Battle Will. Even knowing Zhuge Xiang's strength, at the last moment, these Asura, even knowing that they would face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death at Zhuge Xiang's hands, still had to fight to the death. Therefore, the fierce fighting in the last few days actually allowed Zhuge Xiang's cultivation to directly enter the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

However, with the start of the Sacred War fast approaching, and most of the powerful Asura at the foot of the Sacred Mountain having been killed by Zhuge Xiang, when Zhuge Xiang's cultivation broke through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm, he had no intention of staying any longer. He and Mo Lingna went up the Sacred Mountain together.

Sacred Mountain, also known as the Sole Dominance Mountain, is the highest peak in the Asura Path. It soars into the clouds, and its massive peak is like a Sky-Supporting Pillar. It is extremely steep, hence the name Mount Sole Dominance Mountain. The mountain, tens of thousands of feet high, is like a pillar of heaven.

Judging by sight, Zhuge Xiang was also amazed by the magnificence of Sole Dominance Mountain. The mountain peak, tens of thousands of feet high, was as steep as a pillar of heaven. The top of the mountain seemed to have been shaved off by a great Divine Ability, leaving a relatively flat platform. Although it was called a platform, at a glance, the top of Sole Dominance Mountain was probably dozens of miles in circumference.

On the flat Sole Dominance Mountain, Zhuge Xiang glanced around and found that there were about thirty Asura powerhouses at the peak of the Sole Dominance Mountain, with the lowest strength being the Asura Emperor level.

In addition, the Five Emperors, including the White Bone Emperor and the Purple Emperor, were also present. Of the one hundred sets of Sacred War Jade Talisman, only a mere thirty or so, including Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna, successfully reached the top.

Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna arrived together, drawing the attention of almost all the Asura host on the mountaintop. Those who recognized Zhuge Xiang glanced at them without speaking, while those who didn't looked on with astonishment, clearly finding it hard to comprehend how Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna, with their mere Asura King level strength, could ascend the Sacred Mountain.

The Purple Emperor smiled and nodded as he watched Zhuge Xiang ascend the Sacred Mountain, which was considered a greeting. The White Bone Emperor gave Zhuge Xiang an encouraging look. Did the White Bone Emperor know that Zhuge Xiang's goal was to win the championship in this Sacred War?

"Oh? Just Asura King? What were those guys down the mountain doing? They actually let two Asura King come up here."

However, some people did not recognize Zhuge Xiang. Therefore, when they saw Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna arrive at the peak of Sole Dominance Mountain, suddenly, Asura with a bare upper body covered in Thunderclap and Flame patterns spoke up, his tone filled with contempt and dissatisfaction, as if it were a shameful thing for him to appear on the mountaintop with the Asura King.

"Hehehe..." As the shirtless powerhouse spoke, another Female Rakshasa in a purple-red dress chuckled beside him, saying, "Thunder Flame Emperor, you're mistaken. Although Zhuge Xiang's cultivation is only at the Asura King level, his strength has reached the Asura Emperor realm. He even killed the Savage Axe Emperor at the foot of the mountain, and even the Purple Emperor values him highly."

"Oh? Is that so? With the strength of the Asura King, he killed the Asura Emperor?" Although he looked down on Zhuge Xiang's cultivation, he had to admit that the Thunder Flame Emperor's expression changed somewhat after hearing the Female Rakshasa's words.

In the Asura Path, challenging opponents of lower realms is commonplace. However, to challenge opponents of the Major Realm and successfully kill them is a remarkable achievement, even within the Asura Path.

"Purple Emperor, you've always been arrogant, but I never expected that among the Asura King, there would be someone who could catch your eye. I wonder how he compares to you?" Thunder Flame Emperor, one of the Five Emperors of the Asura Path, said jokingly, his gaze falling on Purple Emperor as he spoke.

"Fox Emperor, I have no interest in your conversation with Thunder Flame Emperor, but why bring up me?" Purple Emperor's gaze fell on the Female Rakshasa who had just giggled, his expression seemingly somewhat helpless. He then said seriously to Thunder Flame Emperor, "Although he is not my opponent now, it is undeniable that at the Asura King level, I am no match for him."

The Purple Emperor's words caused a chorus of exclamations from the Asura Path on Sole Dominance Mountain. Even the Thunder Flame Emperor was clearly surprised by the Purple Emperor's answer. He was slightly taken aback, and then his gaze toward Zhuge Xiang became more solemn.

Who is the Purple Emperor? One of the Five Emperors of the Asura Path, his reputation for talent resounds throughout the entire Asura Path. He is also the most promising individual in the Asura Path to break through to the Great Emperor level. However, today, atop the Sole Dominance Mountain, in front of all the top experts of the Asura Path, the Purple Emperor actually admitted that he is inferior to Zhuge Xiang?

Although Zhuge Xiang's reputation has been very prominent these days, to those powerful figures who are qualified to stand at the peak of the Sole Dominance Mountain, Zhuge Xiang is just a relatively active newcomer these days. But now, the words of the Purple Emperor have made them clearly realize that perhaps in the near future, he will become another Five Emperors level powerhouse.

"Thunder Flame Emperor? Fox Emperor? Add to that Purple Emperor and White Bone Emperor, and the Five Emperors of the Asura Path, I've already met four of them," Zhuge Xiang, his gaze lingering on Thunder Flame Emperor and the Fox Emperor for a moment.

As expected, just like the Purple Emperor and the White Bone Emperor, the Data Eye could not see their information at all; all it could see was their names.

Zhuge Xiang glanced around and saw the last of the Five Emperors. However, his appearance was not flattering. He lacked the handsomeness of the Purple Emperor Zhuge Xiang, the eerie beauty of the White Bone Emperor, the domineering presence of the Thunder Flame Emperor, and the allure of the Fox Emperor.

The last one was the Wine Emperor, who looked like a disheveled man, holding a purple and red wine gourd in his hand, half-lying on the ground, looking drunk. Even when Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna arrived, and the Purple Emperor said that he was not as good as Zhuge Xiang, he did not even look up. It was as if the only thing in the whole Heaven and Earth that was worth his attention was the wine gourd in his hand.

Zhuge Xiang's gaze fell on the Wine Emperor, which seemed to trigger his senses. The drunken, cloudy eyes lifted up and glanced at Zhuge Xiang before lowering his head again to drink, as if he didn't care at all about Zhuge Xiang's gaze.

"How could he possibly enter the Asura Path looking like this?" Zhuge Xiang wondered to himself, looking at the Wine Emperor. The Asura Path was full of people brimming with fighting spirit, but this Wine Emperor showed absolutely no fighting spirit. How did he even manage to enter the Asura Path?

For Zhuge Xiang, the only ones worthy of his attention on the entire Sole Dominance Mountain were naturally the Five Emperors. They were the biggest obstacles blocking his path to Winning the Championship. Although the other Asura Emperor were also very powerful, they posed far less of a threat to him compared to the Five Emperors.

Although Zhuge Xiang hadn't originally set his sights on winning the championship in this Sacred War, since he had agreed, Zhuge Xiang perspective naturally broadened.

"Oh? Even more powerful than the Purple Emperor? Let me see how much strength you have now, at the Asura King realm," Thunder Flame Emperor said, his body slowly radiating the power of Thunderclap and Flame. His violent and scorching aura seemed capable of burning the entire Asura Path. He stood up and stared at Zhuge Xiang with eyes filled with the flames of war.

Seeing that Thunder Flame Emperor was about to make a move, almost all the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain became interested. They also wanted to see just how strong this guy, who was so highly praised by Purple Emperor, really was. Even White Bone Emperor was no exception.

Although Great Emperor Xuan Luo declared that Zhuge Xiang should Winning the Championship, White Bone Emperor himself was also very curious about Zhuge Xiang's actual strength and why Great Emperor Xuan Luo thought he could Winning the Championship.

However, although all the powerful figures were interested in the battle between Thunder Flame Emperor and Zhuge Xiang, Wine Emperor remained lying on the ground, drinking, without even raising his eyes to observe the situation.

Rumble...

However, at this moment, suddenly, nine Thunderclap of lightning appeared on the peak of Sole Dominance Mountain. The black Lightning lit up the peak of Sole Dominance Mountain, and then, figures emerged from the black Lightning. These were not black Lightning all, but nine pitch-black Spatial Rift.

Nine figures emerged from the Spatial Rift. Zhuge Xiang couldn't sense how powerful their auras were, but Zhuge Xiang could feel that these Nine Great Emperor seemed to have merged with the will of the Asura Path into one. Facing them was like facing the entire world of the Asura Path.

"Greetings to the Nine Great Emperor..." As the Nine Great Emperor emerged from the Void rift, the Asura Path on Sole Dominance Mountain stood up one by one and bowed respectfully.

Even in the Asura Path, the law of the strong being respected still applies very well. There are no Great Sage level, so the Great Emperor is the strongest being in this Asura Path world.

"Gentlemen, no need for formalities. Your Sacred War is also for the sake of the Asura Path's fighting spirit. We few will naturally not stand idly by," one of the Nine Great Emperor said, representing the will of the Nine Great Emperor.

"Your Sacred War is to replenish the fighting spirit within the Asura Path, and can be said to be a contribution to the entire Asura Path. Therefore, we Nine Great Emperor naturally cannot be stingy," another Great Emperor stepped forward and said.

As he spoke, he raised his palm, and a Half-Demon Artifact appeared. He said, "According to the rules of previous years, each of us Nine Great Emperor has contributed a Half-Demon Artifact as a reward for your Sacred War."

Besides equipment, Half-Demon Artifact artifacts also include Skill and even special materials. Anything reaching the Half-Demon Artifact level is acceptable. Soon, the Nine Great Emperor each brought out their own Half-Demon Artifacts...

"Hmm? That's..." There were nine Half-Demon Artifacts, including equipment, Skill Book, materials, and even Pill. However, as Zhuge Xiang looked at the treasures the Nine Great Emperor had brought out, his gaze was drawn to a huge black object. (To be continued...)
