A stone tower stood on the ruined land of the Ancient Sacred City. Its surroundings were empty, causing the stone tower to protrude even more. It was clear and eye-catching.
The stone tower was like a clock tower. It looked ancient, as though it had experienced the vicissitudes of time. If it was placed somewhere else, it could be regarded as an ancient relic for the later generations to admire.
However, the stone tower was not to be viewed as an ancient relic. There was a layer of faint red light outside the stone tower. It was a layer of protective energy.
Even after so many years, the protective energy was still present. This meant that there might be some treasure inside the stone tower that did not lose its Spiritual Qi due to the passage of time.
This was an opportunity.
At this moment, there were dozens of people gathered outside the stone tower. They were divided into several groups, and all of them were staring at the stone tower.
"We discovered this stone tower first. It should belong to us," said a Saint. Indeed, they were the first to discover the stone tower. However, before they could break through the protective barrier of the stone tower, a second group of people had arrived.
When the second group of people arrived, they were in a standoff. Just as both sides were about to negotiate, the third group arrived.
"The Human Race is so naive." A Saint level expert of the Shark Race laughed out loud.
"That's right. The weak are prey to the strong. Those who have the strength will get it. Those who don't have the strength should get lost. First come first serve? That's the behavior of the weak." The Shark Clan had always been arrogant.
"Get lost, or die." Among the Shark Clan, there was a youth from the Shark Clan who was much better looking than the others. He sneered. His killing intent was cold, and the sawtooth sword in his hand emitted a terrifying coldness.
"Did you hear that? The Young Clan Leader is willing to let you live. Get lost."
This youth from the Shark Clan was the Young Clan Leader of the Emperor Shark Clan, Emperor Shark Yu. His aura let others know that he had advanced to the Saint level of the Shark Clan. He had monstrous talent, which gave him even more power. He was even stronger than Ao Zhenheng.
The physique of the Shark Clan was originally far superior to that of the Human Clan. The Emperor Shark Clan was also the royal clan of the Shark Clan. They were much stronger than the average Shark Clan. As a monstrous genius of the Emperor Shark Clan, he was much more valuable than the average Shark Clan monstrous genius.
When the Jade Emperor Shark was at the high-Ninth Order, it already had the strength to fight against an ordinary One Star Saint Realm Emperor Shark, and it could even defeat one. After reaching the Eternal Realm, the Jade Emperor Shark had obtained additional benefits due to the Eternal Sacred City. Its bloodline had been purified, and its talent had increased. Moreover, it had awakened the power contained in its bloodline.
As a result, Emperor Shark Jade's strength increased by leaps and bounds. At this moment, he, who was only at the initial stage of the One Star Martial Saint level, had the terrifying strength to fight against an ordinary Three Star Martial Saint. This had already been proven before.
If he used his bloodline power and expended all his strength, he could even kill an ordinary Three-Star Martial Sage expert.
One couldn't help but say that the Ancient Sacred City was like this. Those who broke through here would either die here or obtain greater benefits, increasing their strength even more.
This opportunity didn't belong to Chu Mu alone. Other monstrous geniuses were also qualified to obtain it.
Within the Ancient Sacred City, more than ten human experts had died to the Jade Emperor Shark's sword.
Outside the stone tower, there were three human camps. Each camp had about a dozen people, and they were all low-level Martial Saints. The Shark Clan's camp was led by Jade Emperor Shark. There were about a dozen people in total, and the strongest was a Three Star Martial Saint.
The Emperor Shark Clan's physique was extremely strong. In a one-on-one battle, humans were often no match for them at the same cultivation level.
Only a dozen Emperor Sharks dared to be fearless against a few dozen humans.
The other camp wasn't made up of humans or Shark Clan, but the Five Spirit Clan.
The humans and Shark Clan spoke, but the Five Spirit Clan's people remained silent. There were about twenty of them, and all of them were low-level Martial Saints.
The Five Spirit Clan's innate ability to sense the power of the Five Elements was clearer, so it was easier for them to cultivate the Dao of the Five Elements. However, their physique was similar to humans. In terms of combat strength, at most, they would be slightly stronger than humans at the same cultivation level.
Among the three camps, the Five Spirit Clan's people were the least competitive.
But no matter what, the stone tower was an opportunity, and it might not be a weak one. Whoever obtained it would definitely benefit. If they hadn't encountered it, then so be it. Since they had encountered it, they couldn't let it go. No matter what, they had to fight for it.
"Since you don't want to scram, then let's kill." Jade Emperor Shark frowned, and a thick baleful aura appeared. The moment his voice rang out, he waved the sawtooth longsword in his hand. A terrifying sharpness flowed on the sword, and a silver light surged. There was also the sound of waves crashing.
Huge waves of sword intent, sword energy. This Jade Emperor Shark was actually a Sword Saint.
The faces of the humans on the other side changed drastically.
"Kill!"
The Emperor Shark Clan's Martial Saints behind Jade Emperor Shark all attacked the humans. As for the Five Spirit Clan's people, they stood far away and didn't attack.
The human Martial Saints didn't want to be outdone either. They counterattacked, and a chaotic battle broke out.
The Five Spirit Clan's people retreated even further. They planned to reap the benefits. Whether the humans or the Shark Clan won in the end, they would definitely suffer a great loss.
Jade Emperor Shark killed a two star human Martial Saint with a single sword strike. That was shocking.
As for the other dozen or so low-level Saint level experts of the Shark Clan, they were all focused on the Emperor Shark Jade. To put it simply, the purpose of their existence was the Emperor Shark Jade. Therefore, the various cultivation techniques they practiced were all to better protect the Emperor Shark Jade and cooperate with the Emperor Shark Jade to unleash its greatest strength.
On the other hand, the three small factions of humans didn't usually practice cooperation. Although they were forced to join forces, they didn't reach the point where they could work together. They were like a tray of loose sand that would scatter with a single charge.
There was one difference between the Sea Race and the Human Race, and that was that the Sea Race often had to go to war.
War wasn't a matter of one or two people, but a large group of people. Thus, the greater the number of people in a war, the more advantageous it was for the Sea Race. This was directly related to their civilization, because the Sea Race often managed their own warriors in the form of an army.
In this situation, ten Shark Clan warriors joining forces were enough to resist dozens of humans with similar cultivation bases.
The sword rose and fell, and Jade Emperor Shark killed another human Martial Saint.
The Imperial Shark Jade's sword technique was extremely savage. Each sword strike made people feel like they were seeing a savage shark appear. It also brought with it a dense baleful aura that made people lose their minds.
In the blink of an eye, five human Martial Saints died under Jade Emperor Shark's sword. The other Martial Saints didn't kill Jade Emperor Shark. They were only assisting Jade Emperor Shark.
"What terrifying strength."
"Jade Emperor Shark of the Emperor Shark Clan is truly a monster."
In the distance, the Five Spirit Race people's expressions changed. They didn't attack because both sides of the battle were foreign races to them.
Furthermore, the Five Spirit Clans were on the decline. They could not afford any turbulence. Unless they could kill the human race and the Emperor Shark Clan all at once to prevent future troubles, if the news leaked out, the Five Spirit Clans would be in great trouble after leaving the Ancient Sacred City.
Thus, even if they wanted to attack, they had to wait until the end of the battle between the two races. When both sides suffered heavy losses, they had to destroy the other.
But looking at the current situation, it seemed very difficult. With the Emperor Shark Clan's teamwork, the Human Race was at a complete disadvantage.
Martial Saints were killed one after another. They couldn't see any hope, and despair filled their hearts.
Jade Emperor Shark's face was cold. He regarded the Human Race's lives as grass, reaping them as he wished. The dozen Martial Saints of the Emperor Shark Clan laughed ear-piercingly.
Their faces were filled with sinister expressions. The dozen of them worked together, splitting one attack into a dozen with a special battle formation. The power was greatly reduced, and it couldn't threaten any of them.
The Emperor Shark Clan's physique was very strong, and they could withstand even stronger attacks.
Jade Emperor Shark didn't have any worries. With a sword in hand, he could fight to his heart's content, and kill to his heart's content.
Under the sword, terrifying Blood Sharks appeared one after another, tearing and biting.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten human Martial Saints died under Jade Emperor Shark's sword.
"This Jade Emperor Shark is too savage. Let's go."
After ten people died in a row, someone finally woke up. No matter how good an opportunity was, one had to be alive to enjoy it. Without life, even if the opportunity was given to them, they wouldn't be able to grasp it.
Strength. In the end, it all came down to strength.
If one was strong enough, there was nothing to fear.
After waking up, the human Martial Saints immediately retreated. With people retreating, the pressure on the Emperor Shark Clan naturally lessened, and Jade Emperor Shark became even more carefree in killing.
In the blink of an eye, twenty human Martial Saints were killed. However, the Martial Saints of the Emperor Shark Clan didn't die. They only suffered light injuries, and didn't hinder him much.
The other humans had already retreated far away. Those who couldn't escape in time were killed on the spot.
Now that he had lost his target, Emperor Shark Jade naturally stopped. After killing twenty human Saints in a row, Emperor Shark Jade's serrated longsword was surrounded by a thick, baleful aura. The baleful aura around him was extremely terrifying. When he looked at the Five Spirit Tribe members, the baleful aura and killing intent in his eyes made the Five Spirit Tribe members' expressions change drastically. They subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Scram!" Jade Emperor Shark coldly shouted, his killing intent soaring.
Although the Five Spirit Tribe members' faces were ugly, they didn't dare to oppose Jade Emperor Shark. Especially after seeing how strong Jade Emperor Shark was. The twenty of them weren't stronger than the group of humans from before.
After the Five Spirit Tribe members retreated, only Jade Emperor Shark and a dozen others were left in the stone tower.
"The opportunity will fall into my hands in the end." Jade Emperor Shark turned his head to look at the stone tower, a cold smile on his face.
Just as they were about to enjoy the fruits of their victory, a figure suddenly dashed over from the distance, attracting the attention of the fleeing humans and the Five Spirit Clans. It also attracted the attention of the Emperor Shark Clan and the others. Emperor Shark Jade's eyes were shockingly cold as he stared at that person.
