Chapter 658: 656. Alliance Master (1)
Translator: 549690339
It was often said that Ye Tianmo fought alone against the world, but everyone knew that this was not counting the Supreme Martial Artists.
The ruler of the Mortal Dust World was still the Supreme Martial Artist.
It was only because the Supreme Martial Artist did not meddle in the affairs of the mortal world all year round and ruled by doing nothing, as if the will of heaven was unfathomable. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Ye Tianmo had the deterrence of the number one expert of the mortal world.
The news of Ye Tianmo’s possible recovery and his return to the martial world made the entire world tense. Both the righteous and demonic paths put aside their conflicts and focused their attention on the Old Devil.
The Old Devil’s strength was indeed astonishing, but it was still because of his Supremacy Theory that he could laugh at the mortal world.
For so many years, the Supreme Martial Artist had been in closed-door cultivation. After coming out of seclusion, he didn’t react to Ye Tianmo’s existence. He looked like he was letting things go, which made everyone so nervous about the Old Devil rushing out of the martial world.
However, it was hard to predict the Supreme Martial Artist’s thoughts, and he might change his mind.
As the only successor of the Supremacy, Chen Luoyang might be the key.
Previously, Chen Luoyang had continuously swept through the mortal world and had obtained great gains in the Connate Tomb and the Human Emperor Mausoleum. Azure Dragon Island Master, Fusang Island Master, and Abbot Fa Kong of the Misery Sea lineage were originally wary of him. However, because of Ye Tianmo, they could only temporarily put down their fear of Chen Luoyang and unite by his side.
Although no one said it out loud, since they came together today, it was basically equivalent to tacitly agreeing to one thing.
Now, in the Mortal World, the Devil Dao forces were united, and the publicly acknowledged leader was a Martial Saint.
Demon Emperor Chen Luoyang had officially ascended to the position of Demon Lord.
“Now, we still lack the Hidden Dragon Sand of the Wilderness…” Azure Dragon Island Lord said as he looked at Abbot Fa Kong of Misery.
Abbot Fa Kong’s expression was peaceful and serene. ” The public enemy of the world is the Heavenly Demon. We can put the matter of the Third River in the mortal world aside for now. However, I’m afraid that Benefactor Wolong himself may not be willing to bow to the Demon Emperor. ”
There was no irreconcilable hatred between the Misery Sea and the Wilderness.
However, Yan Mingkong, who had killed many people in Misery, was eventually taken in by the Wilderness, causing the conflict between Misery and the Wilderness to continue in recent years.
Yan Mingkong had broken through to the 17th realm and had gradually mastered his swordsmanship. He was now the number one in the 17th realm of the mortal world. Even the top 10 of the mortal world were no match for him. He was gradually known as the ” River Styx ” and was praised by the world as the third river of the mortal world after the Heavenly River and the Blood River.
In the line of the Misery Sea, there were even masters of the eighteenth realm who were defeated by his sword. If it were not for the help of the Heart-giving Demon Monk, one of the top ten Martial Saints, the elder of the eighteenth realm might have been killed by Yan Mingkong on the spot.
However, the Heart-Giving Demon Monk couldn’t do anything to Yan Mingkong.
” The Netherworld River ” was at the 17th realm, and his strength was already comparable to the top ten Martial Saints, attracting the attention of the entire world.
However, with the news that Heavenly Demon Ye was about to break out of the martial world, everyone’s attention shifted to the old demon, and the previous conflicts mostly subsided.
Abbot Fa Kong also expressed his stance directly. He was willing to temporarily put aside the conflict with the Wilderness that had erupted because of Yan Mingkong.
But the problem was not one-sided.
In contrast to Yan Mingkong’s question, the Manhuang Tribe King Wolong Sha had once been beaten to a pulp by Emperor Xi’s ancient formation. With his proud and arrogant personality, it would be very difficult for him to lower his head to Chen Luoyang and acknowledge him as the common master of the demonic path.
” Given Wo Longsha’s temperament, he might be more than happy to challenge Ye Tianmo himself. ” Fusang Island Lord said quietly.
It had nothing to do with whether the person he had to lower his head to was Chen Luoyang or not. It didn’t matter who it was, Wo Longsha wouldn’t lower his head.
“That’s more like it.” Bie Donglai was at the side, tugging his ears.
” It seems like you agree with Wo Longsha’s idea, ” the Fusang Island Lord said. ” Are you going to challenge your master alone? ”
“If it was someone else, it would be like this.” Bie Donglai shook his head. ” But that old fart is an exception. I just want to kill him as soon as possible. Otherwise, he might come up with some other tricks again. Yanyan can only hide in the Supreme Martial Artist’s Paradise. There’s nothing in the Paradise. It’s inevitable that she won’t be happy staying there. ”
” Of course. ” Azure Dragon Island Lord smiled. ” It’s naturally best if Mr. Bie is willing to help. ”
If the Supreme Martial Artist didn’t personally take action, then the other people in the mortal world would have to take action to kill Ye Tianmo. Naturally, the more experts there were, the better.
Ye Tianmo was arrogant, but he wasn’t just a one-track-minded person who would fight to the death. He would adjust his strategy according to his own circumstances.
It was extremely difficult to defeat such an expert, let alone kill him completely.
In this, they had to consider the casualties of the besieging party and the issue of unity.
Bie Donglai was strong enough and had few worries. With him joining, whether it was Azure Dragon Island Master, Fusang Island Master, or Abbot Fa Kong, they would have more confidence.
“Of course, it’s best if we can work together. I’m just afraid that everyone has their own ideas.” “Some people seem to have gone to the Heavenly River and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty…” the Fusang Island Lord muttered to himself.
The situation of the demonic path was basically clear.
Other than the news that tribe leader Wolong Sha was still in seclusion in the Wilderness, the other top experts of the fiendish path had gathered in front of Chen Luoyang.
On the contrary, the top experts of the righteous path mostly gathered at the Heavenly River and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
For many years, the old sword immortal had always had the potential to be the leader of the righteous path.
The Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Xu Ruotong, had risen to prominence in recent years, stunning the entire world of mortals.
In the battle of the Human Emperor’s Mausoleum, she was a winner like the Demon Emperor. Furthermore, there was news that she was the successor of the Human Emperor. Her cultivation had already surpassed the East Zhou Empire’s own inheritance, and her future was even greater than what could be seen.
And the Empress had a very good relationship with the old sword immortal.
In addition, the Crane Immortal Li Hushuang, who was also indebted to the old Sword Immortal, and the Master of the Heavenly Lake in the extreme north, who was rumored to have been invited to the Heavenly River as soon as he came out of seclusion, were also showing signs of alliance on the righteous path.
“I wonder if Swordlord Darknorth will come out this time?” Abbot Fa Kong asked slowly as his gaze shifted between Chen Luoyang and the Azure Dragon Island Lord.
The Darknorth Swordmaster, Zhu Neng, was a talented and powerful individual, and he was usually a lone wolf.
The Red Dust World had listed him as one of the top ten experts of the righteous path, but he had never had any relations with the other top figures of the righteous path. Instead, he had some dealings with Chen Luoyang.
Recently, he had been interacting with the Blue Dragon Island, which surprised many people in the Mortal World. They didn’t know what he was thinking.
Now that the Righteous Dao and Devil Dao were separated, countless people were paying close attention to where Swordmaster Darknorth would go.
” Mr. Zhu has no interest in worldly affairs. It just so happens that he, along with the Zhou Emperor and Island Master Bao, was ordered by my master to pursue the Underworld God. Now, Island Master Bao and the Zhou Emperor are both focused on Ye Tianmo. They can’t just ignore my master’s orders. Please bear with them, Mr. Zhu. ” Chen Luoyang’s tone was casual.
Azure Dragon Island Master sighed. ” Fortunately, Supreme One doesn’t mind. To a certain extent, I’m doing this for personal reasons. I’m really ashamed of Supreme One. ”
When Fusang Island Lord and Abbot Fa Kong heard this, their hearts sank slightly.
Over a hundred years ago, everyone had besieged the otherworldly demons in a great battle. Although Ye Tianmo had been severely injured and had gone into hiding, the participants had suffered heavy casualties.
Thanks to the growth of many young experts, the world of mortals was not too empty. However, overall, it was also thinner than before.
In recent years, the world of mortals had been turbulent, and there had been many changes.
In a short three to two years, Blood River Ancestor, King Fuyao Han Shang, Black Water Palace Ling Cang, Ji Tianqiong, and Jiang Yi of the Ancient Gods Clan had all gone missing.
Of the top ten demonic cultivators, excluding Ye Tianmo, the only ones left were the Manhuang Tribe Leader, Bie Donglai, Abbot Fa Kong, Azure Dragon Island Lord, and Fusang Island Lord.
Even if Chen Luoyang was included, there were only six people.
As for the righteous path, it was even worse. Mister Tianji had perished, the Western Qin Great Emperor had suffered a calamity, the Chu Emperor had been killed by Chen Luoyang in the Human Emperor Mausoleum, the Green Bull Monastery Head had disappeared, and the Darknorth Swordmaster had not participated in the battle.
Only the Eastern Zhou Empress, the old sword immortal, the Heavenly Lake Master, Reverend Puhui and the Crane Immortal remained.
Strictly speaking, there were only ten Supreme Realm experts in the righteous path and the demonic path.
This was far less than the number of people who had besieged the otherworldly demons in the decisive battle more than a hundred years ago.
Ye Tian Mo’s return this time wasn’t like the time when he was still injured in Zheng Yang City. He would return to his peak state.
However, there was still good news.
Putting aside the fact that Chen Luoyang and his disciples had a special status and their strength couldn’t be calculated by a Martial Saint, the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would definitely improve greatly after the trip to the Imperial Mausoleum.
She had already gradually surpassed her master and surpassed the old sword immortal and the other seniors. She must have improved after returning from the Human Emperor’s Mausoleum.
” This time, it would be even better if Xian Tian Palace could participate. ” Fusang Island Lord said slowly.
The Heavenly Phoenix was an existence that was even more powerful than Mister Tianji.
If they could participate in the battle, the number of experts surrounding Ye Tian Mo might not be as many as before, but the quality would be better.
It was very difficult to ensure that they could kill and not just defeat a top-notch expert, and that their casualties were small.
Or, he could use a special method to weaken his opponent.
It was just like how the Blood River Patriarch had plotted against Mister Destiny, or how Chen Luoyang had used the black mirror and black coffin to kill the injured Han Shang and Cheng Hui.
Or, there were enough experts to surround them, and there were top-notch experts who could fight against the target to resist the greatest pressure.
Back when they had attacked Patriarch Blood River, the Eastern Zhou Empress had been part of the formation, and she was on the same level of cultivation as the other party. Patriarch Blood River had almost escaped, but it was all thanks to Swordmaster Darknorth’s interference.
The Ancient Gods Clan had sent six or seven top Martial Saints to besiege Sunset King Zheng Chi. The Green Bull Temple, Misery Sea, and the Ancient Gods Clan had to send the top ten Martial Saints like the Heart-sacrificing Demonic Monk to guard the place. Otherwise, the number of experts participating in the battle would increase and there might be a lot of casualties in the end.
From a certain point of view, in such situations, quality was more important than quantity.
The main reason why they had suffered heavy casualties in the siege of the otherworldly demons back then was that they lacked someone who could confront the Old Devil head-on and pin him down.
Although the number of people participating in the battle might have decreased, the existence of the Eastern Zhou Empress and the Heavenly Phoenix had added some variables to the matter.
“Although there is a dispute in the Human Emperor’s Mausoleum, if the Old Devil doesn’t take the initiative to provoke the Heavenly Phoenix, I’m afraid the Heavenly Phoenix won’t participate in the battle.” Abbot Fa Kong muttered,”Unless we can set the venue of the final battle at Xian Tian Palace.”.
