The Human Emperor's Palace was long gone.
However, the paragons and Sealers of the super sects who were lucky enough to survive looked in that direction in silence with conflicted expressions.
The atmosphere was inexplicably tense.
"That person should be dead, right?"
A long time later, the paragon of Heavenly Dipper Sect asked hesitantly.
Overlord Palace's Pang Yue nodded. "Should be."
Pausing for a moment, Pang Yue seemed to be trying to convince himself as he said with certainty, "Definitely!"
"That's right, he's definitely dead."
"He's definitely dead after suffering such severe injuries unless he has godly means of reviving someone from the dead!"
"That's right, there's only inheritances in the Human Emperor's Palace. How can there be anything that can save lives?"
Almost instantly, the remaining paragons heaved a sigh of relief and spoke one after another, regaining some vigor and smiles.
The few Sealers present were expressionless as they exchanged glances – all of them could see the worry in one another's eyes.
In the eyes of these elders who had lived for hundreds of years, the performance of these junior paragons and their speculations were akin to self-deception.
Even they could not be certain if the successor of Divine Phoenix Island was dead or alive.
That was because nobody knew what was in the Human Emperor's Palace!
It would be fine if the successor of Divine Phoenix Island died in the Human Emperor's Palace. However, if he survived and reappeared …
Everything else aside, none of the paragons in the ancient battlefield, including Hang Qiuyu, Pang Yue, Monk Jue Chen and the others, would be a match for him.
That was because those paragons were afraid.
In the subconscious minds of these proud sons of heaven, they all hoped that the descendant of Divine Phoenix Island would perish. They didn't hope that this person was still alive so that they could have another life or death battle!
The paragons of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects were utterly defeated in this battle and even their confidence was crushed.
The old nun of Clear Heart Nunnery murmured, "It's definitely a sign of great fortune for such a paragon to be born. Is Divine Phoenix Island going to rise in this generation?"
"I'm afraid it's no longer appropriate to call that lad a paragon."
"That's right. Given his talent, demeanor, boldness and methods, he's definitely a monster incarnate!"
"Furthermore, he's a monster incarnate that's hard to come by throughout history!"
The few Sealers were clear that this battle would cause a huge uproar in Tianhuang Mainland.
The entire cultivation world was most likely going to be shaken!
"It's alright."
The old monk of Xuankong Temple said indifferently, "No matter how strong that lad is, he's only at Foundation Establishment realm. His future is still unknown. Our sects have a strong foundation, and it's not like we don't have monstrous talents! "
"That's true. If he encounters a true disciple of the sect, he probably won't have much chance of winning."
The crowd discussed for a while more before gradually dispersing.
The battlefield was littered with corpses and bones, as if telling of the tragedy of that battle.
One month later.
In Xuantian City.
A piece of news came in and caused a huge uproar!
"A monstrous genius of Divine Phoenix Island and this generation's Pure Maiden of the fiend sects have entered the Human Emperor's Palace. Their fates are unknown!"
"Where did this news come from? It must be fake, right? Since ancient times, the Human Emperor's Palace has only allowed one person to enter at a time. How can two people enter at the same time? "
"It's true. One of my Senior Brothers saw it with his own eyes. It's said that the Human Emperor's Palace was filled with corpses and blood flowed like a river. More than half of the geniuses of the Immortal, Buddhist, and Fiend Sects were killed. Some were even crippled on the spot!"
"How is that possible? Isn't there a Sealer guarding it?"
"Even the Sealers are dead!"
"I heard that in the end, a few Sealers joined forces to kill the monster incarnate of Divine Phoenix Island but were killed instead!"
"Ah! What's his name? "
"Mad Blade."
Within Elixir Yang Sect, in a small two-story building, Tang Yu stood in front of the window with her hands behind her back, frowning in deep thought.
The news of the Human Emperor's Palace was indeed shocking.
However, she was more concerned about Su Zimo's whereabouts.
The strange thing was that after asking around, Su Zimo seemed to have vanished into thin air. Nobody saw him at all and there was no news of him at all.
Uncle Liang could tell what Tang Yu was thinking and said with a smile, "Actually, you don't have to worry, young master. Given Su Zimo's capabilities, even if he can't win, he'll definitely be able to escape alive. "
"Yes,"
Tang Yu nodded. "I'm not worried about him, I'm just puzzled. Given his character, why isn't there any news of him choosing to fight for the Human Emperor's Palace's inheritance? "
Some people's brilliance could not be concealed no matter what.
Ever since Su Zimo entered Xuantian City, the entire structure of the ancient city had undergone a tremendous change!
First, the Four Mounted Bandits were removed, followed by Poison Sect. In fact, even super sects with strong foundations such as Glass Palace and Malevolent Earth Sect were swept away!
How could such a strong and restless cultivator be unknown?
"Uncle Liang, when I heard about the monster incarnate of Divine Phoenix Island called Mad Blade, I even suspected that he was Su Zimo."
Tang Yu said faintly, "Both of them use sabers and know the Sea Calming Manual. Both of them have cultivated to the tsunami blood realm and I heard that they're at seven meridian Foundation Establishment as well …"
"That's impossible,"
Uncle Liang shook his head resolutely. "Although both of them use sabers, Su Zimo uses the perfect-grade spirit weapon, Blood Quencher. As for the monster incarnate of Divine Phoenix Island, he uses a supreme-grade spirit saber. Furthermore, I heard that he's a burly man with a burly figure and a rough face. The difference in appearance between the two of them is way too great. "
Tang Yu nodded.
Indeed, there was no way to explain that. While the two of them had similarities, there were even more differences.
Uncle Liang continued, "Furthermore, although Su Zimo is strong, he hasn't reached the point where he can defeat all the paragons of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects, let alone a few Sealers."
Back in the Elixir Pool Sect ruins, Su Zimo had to fight a long battle against the Sealer of Glass Palace before killing the latter.
In terms of head-on combat strength, Su Zimo was clearly far inferior to his opponent.
However, the monster incarnate of Divine Phoenix Island had fought against a few Sealers head-on before killing them instead – the difference between them was way too great.
Tang Yu nodded. "No matter what, I hope that Fellow Daoist Su is safe and sound."
At the entrance of the house, Su Xiaoning hugged her knees and sat on the stone steps with a worried look on her face.
Beside her was a gigantic pitch-black demon beast. Its eyes were half-closed and shone with a cold glint – it was the Night Spirit that guarded Xiaoning at all times.
"Hais."
Xiaoning sighed gently and murmured, "All the cultivators in the city are talking about the monster incarnate of Divine Phoenix Island and Mad Blade. There's still no news of brother and I wonder how he's doing."
"Oo …"
The Night Spirit opened its eyes and called out listlessly.
Xiaoning frowned and asked, "You're saying that brother is fine? Night Spirit, how did you know? You've been following me the entire time and there's no news at all. "
The Night Spirit sat up and extended its claws, gesturing in an extremely human-like manner as it whimpered non-stop.
Xiaoning's eyes widened.
Others might not have understood, but Xiaoning did.
Her heart skipped a beat as she exclaimed, "You're saying that Mad Blade is …"
The Night Spirit gestured for her to keep quiet.
Xiaoning understood and covered her cherry lips hurriedly. The worry in her eyes disappeared and was replaced by a bright smile. Her eyes curved into a pair of crescent moons, looking as beautiful as a painting.
