After breaking through to the Battle Saint level, the Immortal Island was no longer able to restrain Xing Jue. Under Xing Jue's lead, Xiaolong, Xiao Bai, Hun Ji, and the rest of the Spirit Eater Clan left the Immortal Island.
In the depths of the Immortal Island, there was a magnificent palace. In the palace, two men were sitting in the center, drinking tea and chatting. One of the two men was wearing a white robe. He was the Island Lord of the Immortal Island, while the other was a middle-aged man with a head full of red hair. He was the second expert of the Immortal Island, the red-haired Demon King.
"I wanted to refine the Holy Stone, but you refused. I didn't expect you to give it to an outsider." The red-haired Demon King sighed.
"Your body is not perfect. It is unable to withstand the energy of the Holy Stone. If I let you refine it, it would be the same as watching you die. There's no use in leaving the Holy Stone with me. It's better to give it to a fated person."
"Moreover, this Xing Jue's talent is awe-inspiring. As someone from the Sky Martial Continent, he might be able to make a name for himself in that region and change the Sacred Region's view of the Sky Martial Continent." The Island Lord took a sip of the fragrant tea in his hand and smiled.
"Do you really think that the Sacred Region is so terrifying? And dominates the Sky Martial Continent? "Hearing this, the red-haired Demon King revealed a doubtful gaze.
"Only Battle Saints can enter the Sacred Region, but not a single Battle Saint is willing to come to the Sky Martial Continent. The reason for this phenomenon is that either the Sky Martial Continent is looked down upon by the people of the Sacred Region, or there is a rule in the Sacred Region that restricts the people of the Sacred Region from coming to the Sky Martial Continent. "
"I feel that there are two possibilities, but the possibility of the latter is higher than the former. Because after our generation of continent's people perished in the calamity, another group of humans, Magical Beasts, appeared in the Sky Martial Continent very quickly."
"This means that there is indeed someone in charge of the Sky Martial Continent. It can also be said that he controls everything in the Sky Martial Continent. Even the calamity could be caused by that person." Looking at the red-haired Demon King's doubtful gaze, the Island Lord explained his guess with a smile.
"If there really is such a person controlling everything in the Sky Martial Continent, then aren't we just playthings in his hands? And to be able to do this kind of thing, what kind of power does he have? "The red-haired Demon King's face was filled with shock.
"Hehe, Demon King, why don't you understand?"
"There are countless specters in the Reincarnation Space. How could so many specters belong to the experts of the Tianwu Continent?"
"This means that other than our Sky Martial Continent, there are many other continents that we do not know of."
"As for these continents, they are all controlled by someone just like the Martial Heaven Continent. As for whether that person is a single person or some powerful organization, we have no way of knowing."
"I can't even guess whether he's a human or a ghost, whether he's a real existence or just an ethereal illusion. However, there is one thing that we can be sure of. In this world, there is indeed an invisible rule and law that restricts us. "
"It is precisely because of these invisible rules and restrictions that the world is no longer chaotic. The strong and the weak live in different worlds."
"In other words, these rules and laws can also be called God by the common people. The God who dominates everything and creates everything." The Island Lord had a faint smile on his face, but every word and sentence revealed an extremely serious tone.
After hearing the Island Lord's words, the red-haired Demon King's face was filled with an indescribable expression. He seemed to be shocked and confused, and there was even fear mixed in between.
"Sigh, this is just my guess. It's just like how some ignorant people make up unrealistic myths about things that cannot be explained."
"But there is one thing that can be confirmed. The Sky Martial Continent is just a corner that has been forgotten by the true experts. It's like an abandoned well, and we are all ignorant frogs at the bottom of the well. We don't know what the outside world is like." Suddenly, the Island Lord stood up and sighed with a smile.
"If the Sacred Region is really as terrifying as you say, then what can that brat do there?"
After hearing the Island Lord's words, the red-haired Demon King more or less understood what he meant. The Sky Martial Continent was just a corner that had been forgotten by the true experts, and the place where the true experts resided was the Sacred Region that no one knew what it looked like.
In that place, there should be many powerhouses of the continent who were unknown to the public. After reaching the Battle-Saint level, they entered the Holy Region. In that place, they didn't represent a single person, but more of the continent they were from.
That was why the Island Lord was willing to give the Holy Stone to Xing Jue unconditionally, wanting Xing Jue to represent the Sky Martial Continent and do something in the Sacred Region. However, the red-haired Demon King did not have much confidence in Xing Jue.
"Heh, back then, it took me ten days to refine the Holy Stone, but Xing Jue only took two hours. What do you think?"
The Island Lord did not directly answer the red-haired Demon Monarch's question. Instead, he faintly smiled at the red-haired Demon Monarch. Then, along with a gust of wind, he disappeared from the hall like a ghost, leaving behind the red-haired Demon Monarch, whose face was filled with shock.
It had been a few days since Xing Jue left the Celestial Island. In a majestic ancient mountain range in the Towering Domain, it was a complete mess. Many of the towering mountains had been razed to the ground, and the ancient trees that should have been lush and green had been reduced to withered black tree trunks that were strewn all over the place.
However, it was worth mentioning that the mountain range was still emitting thick smoke, which meant that the attack that turned the mountain range into such a state was not done by the Saint Demon when the catastrophe descended, but by the experts of the Sky Martial Continent.
"Huhuhuhu"
In a deep pit, a man with disheveled hair and a body full of wounds was panting heavily while supporting his trembling body in an attempt to stand up. However, he was too weak at this moment. He was so weak that he did not even have the strength to stand up.
Outside the pit stood a white-haired old man. The old man's face was covered with clear scars, and his right eye had already disappeared. This was one of the Four Great Divine Beasts, the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise. The one who was heavily injured and gasping for breath in the deep pit was his disciple, the Beast City Lord, Profound Understanding Ghost Phoenix.
Just like what Xing Jue had guessed, the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise was in seclusion in a ruin that could slow down time. Before the catastrophe descended, the ancient seal on his body had already been removed, and his strength as a Mid-Stage Combat Emperor had been restored.
The reason why he was unwilling to come out of seclusion was because he was in the process of breaking through to a High-Stage Combat Emperor, and he had successfully reached this level.
"Senior Flame Yellow Devil, why don't you just kill it?"
Seeing that the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise was still unwilling to make a move after being severely injured by the Profound Understanding Ghost Wind, Xiaolong, who was watching the battle from the side, couldn't help but ask.
Although the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise had already reached the level of a High-Stage Combat Emperor, Xing Jue was still afraid that an accident might happen. Hence, he let Xiaolong and a few seniors from the Spirit Eater Race accompany him to deal with the Profound Understanding Ghost Wind.
Furthermore, he specially instructed Xiaolong that if the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise was unwilling to kill it, Xiaolong would help him settle it because a fellow like the Profound Understanding Ghost Wind must not be left alive.
"Heaven Refining, although the Profound Understanding Ghost Wind has done a lot of evil, as a Divine Beast, it should not kill each other. Now that its power has been completely sealed by me, no one else in the continent can help it remove the seal. Hence, please spare its life."
Hearing Xiaolong's question, the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise turned his head and looked at Xiaolong with a pleading gaze. He could understand the meaning behind Xiaolong's words, but as the master who had raised the Profound Understanding Ghost Wind, even though this disciple had caused irreparable harm to him, he still couldn't kill this disciple.
"Sigh, alright!"
Looking at the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise's deep gaze, Xiaolong, who had always been arrogant and unruly, was actually touched. At this moment, he actually decided not to kill the Profound Understanding Ghost Wind.
The Profound Understanding Ghost Wind's power had been sealed, and it had been reduced to the lowest grade of Demonic Beasts. However, the Beast City, which had gathered a large number of Demonic Beasts, could not be without a leader. At this time, the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise, the creator of the Beast City, had once again ascended to the position of Beast City's City Lord.
The reason why he did this was because he was afraid that without a City Lord, there would be internal strife, which would lead to the collapse of such a powerful force. With the arrogant and unruly nature of these Demonic Beasts, without anyone to manage them, they would not take the initiative to help the people of the continent rebuild their homes. Therefore, in order to use the power of these Demonic Beasts to help the people of the Sky Martial Continent, the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise had taken up this great responsibility.
While Xiaolong was accompanying the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise to kill the Profound Understanding Ghost Wind and take over the Beast City, the warriors of the Asura Palace had already gone to various parts of the continent to rebuild their homes under Xing Jue's orders.
However, the Asura Palace's Palace Lord, Xing Jue, was flying alone in the eastern region of the Towering Sky Region. His speed was so fast that even Battle-Emperors couldn't track his movements.
Swoosh! Suddenly, Xing Jue's body turned into a ray of light and shot towards the messy plains below. He was like a bolt of lightning that fell from the sky. However, no matter if it was his strength or speed, it was not something the lightning in the clouds could compare with.
Bang!
Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the ground shook violently. Countless deep cracks spread across the plains. Chunks of thick and heavy soil were thrown into the air like a mountain range. This plains had been turned upside down by Xing Jue. Rather than calling it a plains, it would be more appropriate to call it a mountain range.
Swoosh!
After a while, Xing Jue's figure suddenly shot out from the ground and stopped in mid-air. At this moment, he was dragging a dark purple body of light in his hand. The dark purple body of light contained an incomparably powerful energy, so powerful that even the Saint Stone couldn't compare to it. Looking at this strange body of light, Xing Jue's face revealed an unconcealable smile of excitement.
"Power of Asura, I've finally found you."
