Chapter 56: Gathering of Geniuses
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After days had passed, Li Lingtian left the cave and quickly headed towards the outside world. His cultivation had reached a Tier Seven Warrior Spirit state in the span of a month.
As a Tier Seven Warrior Spirit, he was no longer intimidated by a Warrior King, or specifically anyone beneath a Tier One Warrior King, because the draconic Qi and domineering force of the Roaring Dragon Battle Halberd alone would be enough to slaughter a regular Warrior King.
The Horizon Despot Blade may be powerful, but Li Lingtian dared not put it to use hastily. Unless it was out of absolute necessity, he would not apply the Horizon Despot Blade.
Due to the draconic Qi and Draconic Qi Body Tempering present in his body, he was able to gain more control over the Roaring Dragon Battle Halberd. This Roaring Dragon Battle Halberd and Horizon Despot Blade were both Divine Equipment. Moreover, by the looks of the Golden Dragon phantom figure, these two Divine Equipment must be more than they meet the eye.
While Li Lingtian was engaged in cultivation, he had refined countless pills, feeding a few of them to Xiao Bai and the Multicolored Beast daily. Owing to the Multicolored Beast’s reliance on the pills and repression from Xiao Bai, it became Li Lingtian’s mount.
On the vast surface of Divine Dragon Palace, many Warriors caught glimpse of a huge Multicolored Beast and a young man in white riding on its back. The young man in white held a white bunny in his embrace.
A Fourth Tier demonic beast was an existence that even a Warrior King would give way in avoidance of conflict. They would hide far away before this Fourth Tier demonic beast had a chance to rip them apart.
Since its opening, Divine Dragon Palace had remained visible on the surface of the lake. Numerous Warriors were denied entry so all they could do was settle on the outside to look for medicinal supply.
As time went by, the moment to depart Hidden Dragon Isle was fast approaching, and the Warriors who entered Divine Dragon Palace came out one after the other. As there was no account of a previous entry, no one knew whether they would be teleported out when the time came. It was a risk they dared not take, hence the decision to exit the palace.
By the lake, thousands of Warriors amassed. The majority of them had always been waiting outside, while the remaining portion was those who came out from the inside.
“Sky Dragon Empire, bring your heads over.”
Riding on a Third Tier Level Seven Golden Crystal Beast?, Tian Wuji shouted. He darted a sharp gaze at the Warriors from Sky Dragon Empire.
During his time in Divine Dragon Palace, he had subdued a Third Tier Level Seven demonic beast, an existence comparable to a Tier Seven Warrior King. He was beaming with confidence to earn a strong demonic beast as his mount. Moreover, he had gained a few treasures and countless medicinal supplies.
The thought of Li Lingtian suddenly prompted Tian Wuji to lose his temper on the Warriors from Sky Dragon Empire. Even if Li Lingtian were to come to their rescue, he was fully capable of destroying him.
“Tian Wuji, were you this arrogant when Li Lingtian was around?”
Displeased, Dongfang Qingyu returned the gaze at Tian Wuji. However, not only was Tian Wuji’s mount a Third Tier Level Seven demonic beast, but Tian Wuji himself was a Tier Two Warrior King and a step away from Tier Three. This meant that his ability amongst them here was unrivaled.
“Dongfang Qingyu, you’re just a piece of trash. You’re nothing against me. If Li Lingtian does come back alive, I will tear him to bits,” Tian Wuji cried out loud.
For a moment, many Warriors from Tian Jin Empire burst out into laughter. Tian Jin Empire was the strongest empire in Eastern Spirit Greenland. Renowned for their strength, they naturally looked down upon Sky Dragon Empire.
Disciples from the Southern Empire, Northern Dusk Empire, as well as the Four Mysterious Clans, joined in the clamor too. Wiping out Sky Dragon Empire’s disciples in such a place would destroy any possibility of Sky Dragon Empire from having a future.
“People from Tian Jin Empire, heed my call. Kill all of Sky Dragon Empire’s men. Any treasures that you attain are yours to keep.”
A hint of ruthlessness flashed past Tian Wujian’s eyes. There was no restriction of a massacre in Hidden Dragon Isle and since the two empires had always been on bad terms, he was not going to let this rare opportunity go to waste.
“Your Highness the Second Prince, I won’t bother with these people but when Li Lingtian comes out, leave him to me. I will make him regret his life for killing people of my Divine Sword Sect.”
As Yan Ming’s voice was heard, a young man walked out of Divine Dragon Palace’s gate with a confident smile on his face. The mediocre Onyx Equipment in his hand released a powerful repression.
“Huh? Yan Ming, you broke through to Tier Four Warrior King.”
Tian Wuji was taken aback. A Tier Four Warrior King was much stronger than him. As Divine Sword Sect was also a Supersect in Tian Jin Empire, he was not in the position to offend him.
“Haha, Yan Ming, you’re one step ahead of me. But Li Lingtian is mine and I want him dead.”
Another voice was heard coming from Divine Dragon Palace’s gate and a frail youth walked out. Qing Hezi of Ten Thousand Demons Sect carried himself with ease as he rode on a Third Tier Level Seven demonic beast.
Soon, one Warrior after another came out, either having advanced in tiers, got their hands on great treasures, or had harvested valuable medicinal supplies. Each one of them who made it out was duly rewarded.
This made the Warriors on the outside green with envy. Their cultivation level was too low anyway, they would only be sending themselves to their death if they were to enter.
For a moment, seven Warrior Kings diverted their anger on Li Lingtian. These Super Geniuses kept a close watch on the Warriors from Sky Dragon Empire. If Li Lingtian failed to show up, they would take out their anger on the Sky Dragon Empire’s Warriors by killing all of them.
Days went by and a stream of Warriors came out, yet there were no signs of Li Lingtian.
“Senior Sister, do you think Junior Brother Li will come out in one piece?”
Liu Yiyi turned her gaze to Zhou Qingqing, who was also the beneficiary of countless medicinal supplies and treasures inside. Her cultivation level had advanced to Tier One peak Warrior King, and the velocity of her cultivation had left many envious.
“Come out? Even if he did, what chance does he stand on current circumstances?
“Yiyi, are you showing concern for Junior Brother Li?”
Zhou Qingqing took notice of countless Warrior Kings who were directing their fury on Li Lingtian. Even if Li Lingtian made it out, everything was pointed to a disaster; to think that everyone counted on Li Lingtian to open the gate for entry.
Now that they were in possession of treasures, nothing was holding them back. Naturally, these people wanted Li Lingtian dead. Li Lingtian had stepped on their toes, after all.
Zhou Qingqing then took one look at Liu Yiyi’s worried face and suddenly got the picture. Hence, she teased Liu Yiyi.
“Senior Sister, what are you saying?”
Liu Yiyi’s exquisitely flawless face turned red. Her bashful side turned the heads of many Super Geniuses who revealed a strange look on their faces.
“It’s the last day today. Li Lingtian must have died in Divine Dragon Palace. If you want to put the blame on someone, you should blame Li Lingtian.”
Tian Wuji fixated his eyes on Divine Dragon Palace’s gate. Li Lingtian had not made an appearance and if they were to wait any longer, they would be teleported out before they could lay their hands on the disciples from Sky Dragon Empire.
Having said that, Tian Jin Empire’s seven Warrior Kings and the Southern Empire’s seven Warrior Kings stood up. The other Warriors too swiftly encircled Sky Dragon Empire’s Warriors.
Only a handful from Northern Dusk Empire took no action because of the mutual relationship Northern Dusk Empire and Sky Dragon Empire shared. During a time like this, they would not be on opposing ends with the Southern Empire and Tian Jin Empire if they did not lend a hand to Sky Dragon Empire.
A war was about to break out. With Sky Dragon Empire’s two hundred-odd Warriors against a thousand over masters, they stood no chance to win. At this point, countless Warriors from Sky Dragon Empire were put in a tight spot.
“Bam.”
“Wham.”
“Ah, ah, ah.”
Tian Jin Empire’s Tian Wuji was the first to make a move. As he swung his Onyx Equipment to launch an attack at Sky Dragon Empire’s Warriors, sounds of blasts were followed by cries that echoed in the background.
“Let Tian Jin Empire handle it while we sit back and watch. We’re only here for Li Lingtian.”
Seeing that Sky Dragon Empire’s Warriors had no means to fight back, the Southern Empire’s Warrior took a backseat. They were not fools, after all.
They would not be able to bear the weight should Sky Dragon Empire decide to fight to the bitter end for offending them.
“Humph,” Tian Wuji snorted coldly.
There was no reason to stop now that he had initiated a war. The few Warrior Kings stood aside and watched while other Warrior Spirits and Warriors joined in the killing spree.
Zhou Qingqing was in disarray. She was not in the position to strike as the opposing Warrior Kings had not laid a hand, but if she were to raise her hand, she would be met with the few Warrior King’s fatal moves.
In a minute, Sky Dragon Empire’s fifty-odd Warriors were killed while a dozen from Tian Jin Empire were slaughtered. At this rate, the Warriors from Sky Dragon Empire would be wiped out within ten minutes.
“Who was the fat f*ck who said he’ll kill me? Come forth.”
At this very crucial moment, a cold voice was heard from Divine Dragon Palace’s gate. The voice may be calm but the icy tone sent quivers down everyone’s spine.
