New Chapter: An Anomalous Being Enters the Fray
In a hazy world, a giant tree pierces through the clouds at the horizon, its petals, shimmering with light, fluttering down.
Alive or dead? When Wang Xuan came in, he looked at the figure sitting cross-legged under the tree. It was a small old man, not very big, like an ant compared to the giant tree.
There was no spiritual fluctuation; it was like a physical shell that had lost its primordial spirit.
Wang Xuan observed and finally focused on some parts of his body, such as his right palm. Although the flesh and blood were dull and there was nothing special about it, the bones inside were abnormal. At first glance, they were white, but upon closer inspection, they were incredibly deep.
Extraordinary bones! This is an extraordinary person with more than one extraordinary bone in his body, in multiple locations.
But Wang Xuan only focused on his right palm, observing and probing cautiously, and then without saying a word, he wanted to take advantage of him. He was really addicted to it today.
He had obtained extraordinary bones and practiced special scriptures, but the Dao-imperialized mainly focused on the top of his skull, and his spine and eyeballs only recently came into contact with the corresponding patterns.
In battle, his staring and Iron Head Skill were really bizarre. Even his back-mountain lean was an unorthodox fighting style. He really wanted to transform his palm into Dao-imperialized.
Otherwise, the texture that is generated from the top of the head and covers the palm each time is far less powerful than directly hitting it with the head.
However, I've never seen any Supernatural Practitioner at this level use the Iron Head Skill.
"Huh?!" Wang Xuan was startled and stepped back, no longer watching or trying to distance himself. He sensed a vast and unfathomable spiritual consciousness appearing in the darkness.
He glanced at the Zhu Hai in the distance. This Super Peerless was also unfamiliar with this place and was observing the world and watching the old man under the tree before becoming highly vigilant.
Without saying a word, Wang Xuan charged forward with his Wolf Tooth Club, ready to smash the enemy and clear the area, because he didn't know what would happen next.
This place is connected to the Bronze Arena, and both sides are still suppressed within the True Immortal Domain.
From beyond the sky, an endless expanse of light appeared, like a vast galaxy, and with a deafening roar, it fell and entered the old man's head.
The sheer power of a person's spirit and consciousness stirred something within Wang Xuan, who was actively smashing the Zhu Hai. What a powerful being!
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and a surge of consciousness, like a river bursting its banks, surged through this world.
"Stop it for now," he said.
Wang Xuan understood that this was definitely a top-tier, unfathomable extraordinary person. He dragged his Wolf Tooth Club to the side and did not resist.
"Greetings, Senior," Zhu Hai said, bowing respectfully.
"A young man from the Candle Dragon Clan, not bad, youth is truly wonderful." The thin old man nodded.
Wang Xuan was startled. Could these two be acquaintances? What connection do they have? At the same time, he was also thinking to himself, "Zhu Hai is at least seven thousand years old, if not eight thousand. How can someone so old be considered a young man?"
"Kid, you're quite fierce." The old man turned and glanced at the Second King of Five Elements Mountain.
Upon hearing this title, Wang Xuan grinned. After all, he was over two hundred years old, yet this title was being used to demote him to a level even lower than that of a teenager.
"Senior, what brings you here?" Wang Xuan cupped his hands in a low-key greeting, feeling somewhat uncertain in the face of an old monster who had lived for more than a century.
He suspected that the other party had contraband in their possession, and it was even very likely that the Bronze Giant Palace itself was involved.
"I was told that there was a duel in the True Immortal level battlefield, and the combat power was astonishing, breaking the record of the 9th level Bronze Arena." The old man smiled.
Wang Xuan smiled and asked, "What's the reward?"
The old man was surprised, then chuckled and shook his head, saying, "No, I just wanted to see the two of you."
Wang Xuan fell silent; his expectations had been dashed.
Zhu Hai no longer possessed the profound depth he Super Peerless displayed. In front of the extraordinary person, he was no longer superior. He cupped his hands again and said, "Senior, you flatter me."
The strange man nodded and said, "Yes, you need to reflect on this battle. This time it was mainly him; his final blow was incredibly destructive."
Zhu Hai's usually reserved face stiffened slightly. The strange man's calm words ignited a fire in his heart, and then he felt his face burning.
The two fought with extraordinary strength, breaking the record of the 9th level of the Bronze Arena, but it turned out that it had nothing to do with him.
In short, was he able to get here because of his opponent? It was Kong Xuan who broke the record, Zhu Hai immediately wanted to turn around and leave.
Although the strange man wasn't targeting him, but simply stating the facts in a normal and peaceful manner, Zhu Hai still felt extremely embarrassed and humiliated.
But Wang Xuan, in a very formal manner, clasped his hands in greeting and said, "You flatter me!"
Zhu Hai ignored him, his eyes cold, and then turned his profile to him, completely disregarding him.
"Let's keep fighting, the duel isn't over yet!" Wang Xuan said in a deep voice. Since the other party was being stubborn, they would just crush them.
"To be honest, I was wandering in the starry sky when someone came to me through connections, asking me to make an exception and end this duel."
The old man spoke, sitting cross-legged under the enormous divine tree, and introduced himself as Chen Gu, an extraordinary person from the Bronze Giant Palace who had recently left his body and was traveling in deep space.
"It was an extraordinary person from your Candle Dragon Clan, your clan's ancestor, who sent someone to find me," Chen Gu stated directly.
"Why?" Zhu Hai was surprised. Was the strongest member of the Candle Dragon Clan also paying attention to this battle?
"Clearly, he thinks you will perish," Chen Gu said directly, without any tact.
These words made Zhu Hai feel suffocated and resentful. He was extremely unwilling to be summoned into this mysterious world and suffered a series of blows.
Even the clan's patriarch intervened in the competition to save his life, yet he still doesn't have much faith in him.
For a moment, his chest heaved violently, his eyes were filled with intertwined Imperial Dao runes, and his eyes were incredibly deep and terrifying, but then he loosened his clenched fist.
Because he admired the Candle Dragon Ancestor, an extraordinary person who had lived for more than a century, whose vision naturally far surpassed his own. Although he still had some trump cards, in the True Immortal Domain, he was most likely inferior to this demon king.
Zhu Hai said in a low voice, "I... will obey the ancestor's instructions."
Wang Xuan objected. Why should he? Had he even been asked? If he couldn't win, he should end the duel immediately; if he could win, he should just kill him.
"What fairness is there left? I'm disappointed in the Bronze Giant Palace." He spoke directly, there was no need to hold back. If the other party really wanted to take sides and attack him here, even bowing down wouldn't help.
He didn't care anymore, he spoke his mind directly, his gaze cold and wild, did he really think the Bronze Giant Palace could control everything?!
"You have a problem with that?" Chen Gu turned to look at him.
"Yes!" Wang Xuan's eyes shone brightly as he raised his head to meet his gaze. Even if someone was a top-tier superhuman, he would still find it despicable that they wanted to manipulate the battle situation in the Bronze Arena with impunity.
"You have drive." The short, unusual-looking Chen Gu nodded, then looked at Zhu Hai and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Zhu Hai looked at Wang Xuan, a hint of coldness appearing on his calm face, and said, "If he's not convinced, then we might as well... kill him."
Wang Xuan's killing intent surged. It was truly beyond his expectations that such a change would occur. Could it be that such a shameful and dark affair was about to take place in the arena of the Bronze Giant Palace?
He had already secretly communicated with the Dao Control Banner, and the First Killing Array Diagram was ready to be unleashed at any time. There was nothing to fear. At worst, everyone would just flip the table together, and who would live and who would die was still uncertain!
Chen Gu looked at the Zhu Hai, nodded, and said, "Your heart is truly black. You were destined to perish, but now you're turning the tables and killing your opponent."
Zhu Hai stood there expressionless and said, "I will follow the Ancestor's orders in everything."
Chen Gu said, "Well, your ancestor, that Old Dragon, meant that you should pay some price to compensate Kong Xuan and end this battle."
"Huh?" Zhu Hai was stunned and deeply surprised. The ancestor had already pulled strings and found an unfathomable extraordinary person in the Bronze Giant Palace to reach an agreement and intervene in this duel. Why did he compromise like this in the end? Wouldn't it have been better to just kill Kong Xuan directly?
Wang Xuan was also taken aback, but remained on guard.
He remained expressionless. What was supposed to be a fair and just duel had escalated to this point; what could he still believe in? He couldn't relax; he was ready to fight to the bitter end at any moment!
"You don't want to?" Chen Gu asked.
"This..." Zhu Hai frowned. The situation was not completely reversed, but he had to pay a price. He looked at the strange people in the Bronze Giant Palace and knew very well who was the master here. He could only lower his head and indicate that he was willing to obey the decree of the Candle Dragon Ancestor.
"What price do you want him to pay?" Chen Gu asked Wang Xuan.
Without hesitation, Wang Xuan blurted out, "I want to beat him to death!"
"No, let's try another one." Chen Gu shook his head.
Wang Xuan's expression calmed down, and he said, "I want his Imperial Daoized texture, the Imperial Dao Scripture he possesses, and the extraordinary bones, etc., all of which I want to hand over."
"You're dreaming!" Zhu Hai turned around coldly. How could he possibly agree to such a thing? He refused outright.
Wang Xuan's expression was cold, and he raised his voice, saying, "Then let's continue to the Bronze Arena to decide our fate. If we were to Fair Duel, would you survive? I would just crush you to death right here in the arena!"
Being intimidated, even blatantly disrespected, by a True Immortal made Zhu Hai feel as if his lungs were congested and his chest was about to explode; he simply couldn't bear it. But if they were to continue fighting, what the other party said might be true, after all, even the Candle Dragon Ancestor had made that prediction.
"Should we accept mediation?" Chen Gu asked.
Zhu Hai remained silent, feeling resentful and frustrated. At the same time, he regretted it; he shouldn't have gotten involved. A Super Peerless master like himself had tied his own hands, acted impulsively, and made such a terrible mistake.
Just then, the sky above this mysterious temple seemed to connect with the vast universe, with starlight twinkling, before the entire sky turned pitch black.
Even this hazy space and the glowing giant tree dimmed, plunging the entire world into darkness.
Then, two enormous eyes appeared in the outer universe, filling the vast space and looking extremely eerie. It was as soon as the eyes opened that the world became bright and radiant again.
"Ancestor!" Zhu Hai immediately bowed deeply in reverence.
Wang Xuan's heart pounded. It was actually the number one expert of the Candle Dragon Clan, that ancient and extraordinary person. Was this a manifestation of his primordial spirit, or his true body gazing from the distant Universe Sea of Stars? It was terrifying, a phenomenon that shook the world.
The Candle Dragon Ancestor, when its eyes are closed, brings darkness; when its eyes are open, it brings daylight. It stands tall in the vast deep sky, its form enormous and boundless.
At the same time, in the depths of the universe, in another part of deep space, a brilliant glow emanated, and then a huge Black Peacock appeared, dispelling the darkness, as if creating the world.
He stood tall in the sea of stars, his aura equally majestic and awe-inspiring, no less than that of the old Candle Dragon. He cast his gaze in this direction, also displaying extraordinary phenomena.
Zhu Hai immediately understood that the Candle Dragon Ancestor had intervened, and the Old Anomalous Being of the Black Peacock Clan had also been alarmed, paying attention to the matter and putting pressure on him. Therefore, he couldn't simply turn around and kill Kong Xuan directly.
Wang Xuan cupped his hands in greeting to Shen Kong. He understood that if the Old Peacock hadn't intervened today, things would have been very different.
Despite Chen Gu's calm and easygoing Bronze Giant Palace, the fact that he interfered in this duel shows that unexpected events can occur in this place.
"Give it to me!" Wang Xuan reached out and unceremoniously demanded the scriptures and strange bones from Zhu Hai.
"I...!" Zhu Hai was shocked, angry, and powerless. The three extraordinary beings were watching, and even though they were separated by the void, they could determine everything here.
The key issue is that he himself is not strong enough; if the fight continues, he will most likely be defeated and killed.
Otherwise, he could flip the table, continue the duel, and kill the True Immortal Kong Xuan.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean,' stop talking nonsense. You're trying to buy your life!" Wang Xuan said coldly.
He saw another side of Zhu Hai. Even the Super Peerless person is still human. How can one truly transcend? Just now, he had wanted to take advantage of the situation and use unspoken rules to get rid of him, so that Zhuhai would despise and hate him.
Let us never meet again from now on, otherwise, if we meet in the starry sky, one of us will surely die.
"All my knowledge is contained in this bone. I have no special scriptures on me." Zhu Hai finally suppressed his anger and the humiliation in his heart and took out a bone from his body.
Judging from its shape, it should be a part of the frontal bone, including the eye socket area. It is snow-white and crystal clear, with countless dense textures.
"Let go right now, this is mine, take it!" Wang Xuan snatched it away.
Then, still uneasy, he asked, "Who knows if what you're saying is true or false, whether there are other scriptures or unusual bones, or if you're hiding anything?"
"Anything else?" Chen Gu asked, and told Zhu Hai that there were strange objects in this space that could detect whether he was lying.
"It's gone!" Zhu Hai said in a deep voice. The scriptures of the Candle Dragon Clan involve the cultivation of extraordinary people, so that ancient book must not be leaked. He believed that the ancestor had already discussed it with Chen Gu.
Chen Gu glanced at the strange object in the distance and said, "Yes, that's true, nothing else. As for the Candle Dragon Fundamental Scripture of that clan, it's an exception and not included here."
"I have a request. I want to fight him again and continue!" Zhu Hai suddenly said.
"You want to die?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise, looking astonished.
But to Zhu Hai, it sounded so grating. He looked at the Candle Dragon Ancestor in the deep space of the universe and said, "Since the Ancestor has interfered with this competition, please give me another chance. I want to have a competition that does not involve life and death."
Ultimately, he was still resentful and unwilling to accept defeat, believing he still had ways to win.
The Candle Dragon Ancestor looked at Chen Gu, and they must have been talking about something in secret.
"What do you think?" Chen Gu asked Wang Xuan, while also looking at the enormous Old Peacock in the Universe Sea of Stars.
Wang Xuan said, "Fine, he's unwilling to give up the extraordinary bone, and I'm not willing to let him off so easily. I'll grant his wish and beat him until his heart, lungs, and intestines are all out of him!"
He really wanted to say that all the corpse rice had been beaten out by Zhu Hai, but with other people present, he tried to be more gentle and polite in his wording, and not too direct.
"Young friend, I'm very curious, what is your background?" Chen Gu asked. At the same time, he had already sealed the Zhu Hai aside, isolating it from this place.
Wang Xuan looked at him, then at the old Zhulong deep in the universe. The reason they interfered in the competition today was because the extraordinary people were unparalleled and difficult to control.
Without the Old Peacock's intervention, Wang Xuan was unsure whether Chen Gu of the Bronze Giant Palace would have made a move against him.
He took a deep breath and said forcefully, "My parents are both superhumans, and they're not weak. Although their condition is somewhat special, they should have no problem coming over and killing a few superhumans!"
That's all for tonight's update.
