Chapter 998: Chapter 998: The Formidable Enemy of the Future
Boom!
After an indeterminate amount of time, a booming sound erupted from Cao Wuheng’s body, releasing a terrifying aura that shook the void.
Cao Wuheng’s eyes suddenly opened wide, a flash of evil energy gone in an instant, accompanied by a captivating glow. His strength had skyrocketed to the Fifth Level of the Hua Yuan Realm, just like riding a rocket.
"In such a short time, my strength has broken through to the Fifth Level of the Hua Yuan Realm. As one of the three great evil weapons, you truly are formidable!"
Cao Wuheng’s eyes shone brightly, gazing at the Dragon Tooth before him.
"Once I fully possess you and can exert your strength, I’d like to see who else in Huaxia can be my opponent."
A proud smile emerged on Cao Wuheng’s lips, his aura domineering.
Soon after, the Dragon Tooth evil weapon transformed into a streak of light that returned to Cao Wuheng’s body, and the terrifying evil aura on him also disappeared without a trace, his entire demeanor returning to normal.
"Wu Hen!"
At that moment, a voice deep and solemn sounded, and an old man wearing a black and white chessboard-like robe appeared, his white-haired eyebrows profound and vast, the robe giving off an air of asceticism.
It was none other than Cao Wuheng’s master, one of the Grand Elders of the Tian Group, Master Xing Luo—an absolute powerhouse in the Controlling Qi Realm.
"Master!"
Seeing Master Xing Luo, Cao Wuheng hurried to his feet and respectfully called out.
"Wu Hen, you’ve made another breakthrough?"
Xing Luo’s eyes showed a hint of surprise as he looked at Cao Wuheng. It was clear that he too had not expected Cao Wuheng to make such rapid progress, with his strength booming within a mere month.
"Yes, thanks to Master’s cultivation, my strength has been able to improve so quickly."
"This is all due to your own efforts. It seems I really wasn’t wrong about you—your talent is indeed strong, a true martial arts prodigy. However, remember that you must secure your realm solidly; do not be greedy and reckless to avoid invasion by the Heart Demon."
Xing Luo looked at Cao Wuheng and solemnly reminded him.
"Thank you for the teaching, Master. Your disciple understands."
Cao Wuheng nodded.
"I’ve brought you another batch of cultivation resources; take them, enhance your strength, and when the Qing List competition comes, it’ll be your time to showcase your abilities."
"Don’t worry, Master, I won’t let you down. My name, Cao Wuheng, will definitely be among the top three of the Qing List this time."
Cao Wuheng’s eyes were filled with confident light.
"With your current strength, the hopes for the top three of the Qing List aren’t that great. After all, the geniuses from those top-tier forces will participate in this competition, and it’s very likely they have reached the Spirit Sea Realm. As long as you make it into the top ten of the Qing List, you would have met your Master’s expectations."
Xing Luo uttered gravely.
"Rest assured, Master, I will definitely make it into the top ten this time. I will make the entire Hidden Sect know the name of Cao Wuheng."
Cao Wuheng’s eyes flashed with strong confidence, and a hint of evil light briefly appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"Good, I like that ambition. If you need anything, just say it, and I will do my best to fulfill it," Xing Luo laughed heartily.
Meanwhile, Ji Lingtian and Fang Yan, who had obtained the other two great evil weapons, Tiger Tooth and Divine Dog, also experienced a dramatic increase in strength, with their powers similarly skyrocketing to the Hua Yuan Realm. The emergence of the evil weapons greatly inflated their ambitions, and their hatred for Ye Luo grew even deeper.
"Ye Luo, once I leave seclusion, I’ll make sure you have no place to be buried. And everyone related to you will pay a painful price; I’ll make you pay in blood!"
Fang Yan’s eyes flickered with sinister light, his body exuding an aura of evil, brutality, bloodthirstiness, and other dark and negative energies; his face twisted ferociously, looking like an Evil Ghost emerging from hell.
As for Ji Lingtian, he too coldly spoke, "The humiliation I’ve suffered, I will return it all to you. And Qin Yuru, I will make you and the child of Ye Luo in your womb suffer the most painful torment."
Of all this, Ye Luo was naturally unaware, nor did he know that his two enemies had gained massive strength from the evil weapons and would soon become two of his greatest adversaries.
At this moment, he was searching for a place for the Five Elements Sect members to live. After all, finding a spot that could accommodate three to four hundred people for living and cultivation was not easy.
After searching for a long time, Ye Luo finally found a suitable location. It was a massive building far from the city center with many rooms, ideal for the accommodation of the Five Elements Sect.
However, it seemed that the place was already occupied, and by what looked to be a group from society.
However, Ye Luo didn’t care about those people and went straight into the building.
"Stop, who are you?"
Immediately, two men dressed in black with icy faces stopped Ye Luo.
"Who’s the master of this place? I have something to discuss with him!"
Ye Luo said indifferently.
"You want to see our Sect Leader? Who do you think you are? Scram now, don’t be a nuisance here."
The two men looked at Ye Luo with a mocking expression, their eyes filled with contempt.
"Sigh!"
Looking at the two men, Ye Luo shook his head. He didn’t want to resort to violence, but stupidity was unfortunately commonplace, especially this year.
Bang bang!
Two muffled sounds were heard, and the two men fell to the ground.
"There, now I won’t be a nuisance."
Ye Luo walked straight in.
"Kid, who are you?"
As Ye Luo entered, a group of people in black rushed out, pointing their weapons at him.
"I’m looking for your boss!"
Ye Luo said indifferently.
"Kid, you’ve got some nerve barging into Tiger Sect like this. Are you looking to die?"
A man with a scar on his face glared at Ye Luo menacingly.
"I’ll say it again—I’m looking for your boss. I’ve got business with him."
Ye Luo said, growing impatient.
"Who’s looking for me?"
At that moment, a deep voice sounded. A burly middle-aged man wearing a mink coat and with a fierce face walked out, exuding a murderous aura.
And beside this man was someone Ye Luo had seen before: Guan Bin, the one who had pursued Nie Wenling.
"It’s him!"
Guan Bin’s face changed upon seeing Ye Luo, looking ugly and his eyes flickering.
"Sect Leader, this guy injured our brothers. How should we deal with him?"
The man with the scarred face looked at the middle-aged man and spoke with a heavy tone.
"Kid, you’ve injured my men, and you seek me out for some business?"
The middle-aged man’s gaze focused on Ye Luo as he spoke coldly.
"What a coincidence!"
Ye Luo looked at Guan Bin with a faint smile.
"I’ve already stopped bothering Nie Wenling. What more do you want?"
Guan Bin looked at Ye Luo with a serious face.
"Don’t worry, I’m not here for you."
Ye Luo said with a casual smile.
(I had a burst of energy this half-month, but my body can’t take it anymore. It hurts too much to sit in the chair. I’ll go back to five Chapters a day for a total of ten thousand words. Apologies...)
