Chapter 1268: Compete for the Chief Position

Sigma_ SSins

The blood sea seethed. The dark red clouds descended from the sky like cotton fabric sheets covering the five bone islands where the competitions for the Chief position were about to begin.

After the five islands including Despair, Destruction, Dark, Corrosion, and Chaos were covered, a scarlet membrane appeared and sealed the five islands. That membrane had a rapid flow of energy moving around as if it had drawn the energy from the blood sea.

Shi Yan focused on studying it, his eyes showing his surprise.

He didn鈥檛 know what kind of material the red membrane was made of, but it was a special barrier. It seemed tangible beyond just its condensed, shaped energy.

"It鈥檚 the membrane of the Black Armored Horned Dragon. It has a special energy to create a defending formation. The Black Armored Horned Dragon is a powerful creature that comes from Heavenly Monster Tribe. Their membrane is really tough. It鈥檚 the most suitable material to create a formation. When the Bloodthirsty Force was still domineering, we used to collect so many types of precious materials in the world. Heavenly Monster Tribe had offered us this membrane."

Xuan He explained to him as he saw that Shi Yan looked curious.

"Don鈥檛 underestimate this membrane. The Eight Chiefs have carved the powers Upanishads that we鈥檝e comprehended. This membrane is the barrier that we鈥檝e set up just in case the God Clan attacks the holy land. Unless someone who has reached Second or Third Sky of Immortal Realm attempts to tear this membrane, it鈥檚 just a dream."

Second Sky or Third Sky of Immortal Realm...

A strange light shot out from Shi Yan鈥檚 eyes as he looked at Xuan He. "Which realms do you, Frederick, and Ming Hao have? In this cosmos, how many Immortal experts are there?"

The Immortal Realm was the ultimate realm that Shi Yan knew. Being at the Immortal Realm was like standing on the peak realm. There weren鈥檛 many experts who had reached this realm in this vast sea of stars. Until now, he had known only Holy Beast Azure Dragon and Xuan He鈥檚 team.

At the same time, Spark of the God Clan, Gillette of the Imperial Dark Tribe, and Lena of the Heaven River Temple were at Peak of Incipient God Realm or False Immortal Realm.

"Frederick and I are at Second Sky of Immortal Realm. Ming Hao, er, I suppose he鈥檚 at Second Sky or even Third Sky of Immortal Realm. Ming Hao has hidden his true body for many years and he has rarely shown himself. If the forbidden island didn鈥檛 have a commotion, he wouldn鈥檛 have come here using his soul. I can鈥檛 assess his realm and cultivation base if I can鈥檛 see his body or soul."

Xuan He explained.

"The God Clan鈥檚 God Lord was at Third Sky of Immortal Realm that year. To kill our Master, he had his body shattered and his soul poorly damaged. The Origin of the ancient continent he has absorbed was also smashed. It has been so many years andthe God Lord hasn鈥檛 shown up. I guess he hasn鈥檛 healed yet. But now, I鈥檓 not sure what realm he鈥檚 at. Anyway, the Four Great Heavenly Kings, his four subordinates, are at the same realm as us. They are at least Second Sky of Immortal Realm."

"The Holy Beast Azure Dragon of Heavenly Monster Tribe is also at Second Sky of Immortal Realm. But since you got the Genesis Fruit that has changed Grace Mainland, he will have a chance to reach Third Sky of Immortal Realm."

"The warriors of the Imperial Dark Tribe..."

While they were talking, the competition for the chief position in the five islands had begun. To seize the chief position, the candidates of the eight forces of the Bloodthirsty Force had released their Ethereal Extent and Incipient Extent and created a magnetic field of energy.

The marvelous barrier made of the Black Armored Horned Dragon鈥檚 membrane got some touches from Xuan He鈥檚 team. When it covered the islands, it only let the warriors get out of the place but not enter again. Whenever they came out of the barrier, it meant that they had given up the competition. The last ones who stood on the islands were the winners and the new Chiefs.

"How about Imperial Dark Tribe?" Shi Yan arched his brows and asked.

When Xuan He talked about Imperial Dark Tribe, he paused, his face awkward.

"The current Chief of the Imperial Dark Tribe is a woman named Adele. She鈥檚 Ming Hao鈥檚 blood younger sister. Hmm, that woman and I used to have a complicated time. Audrey is her daughter with an ordinary aristocrat of Imperial Dark Tribe. He isn鈥檛 worth mentioning. But Adele鈥檚 realm isn鈥檛 low. She鈥檚 at Second Sky of Immortal Realm. Imperial Dark Tribe has two more Immortal Realm experts I suppose. Including Ming Hao, we can鈥檛 ignore the power of Imperial Dark Tribe." Xuan He hesitated and then explained with a reluctant smile.

Shi Yan wore an awkward face.

Although Xuan He didn鈥檛 say it clearly, through his facial expression and attitude, Shi Yan knew that Xuan He and Adele used to have a special relationship.

Evidently, Xuan He had given up their romance, so Adele had chosen a normal aristocrat of her tribe as revenge. Perhaps the dispute between Xuan He and Ming Hao was related to this. Xuan He didn鈥檛 say it clearly because he still had a knot in his heart.

Shi Yan studied Xuan He and smiled, "Precursor, I鈥檓 sure you were a distinguished man that year."

Xuan He was an evil-looking, handsome man with style and taste. He must have been a lady鈥檚 choice when he was young. At the same time, he was the Death Chief with real power. Shi Yan assumed that his life was really colorful with many beauties.

That year, Adele was the Princess of Imperial Dark Tribe. Of course, she was an arrogant character, though. Xuan He had opened her heart. They used to have a deep, romantic love, so she didn鈥檛 want Xuan He to act rashly. She wanted him to be loyal to her. However, Xuan He was an easy-going man. Perhaps, he couldn鈥檛 endure Adele鈥檚 bind so he directly chose to let go of this beautiful flower to embrace a whole bush of flowers.

As thoughts flashed in his head, Shi Yan imagined the events in the past and his grin became more bizarre.

Xuan He gave a slight cough and spoke ironically. "Well, that year, I had kind of abandoned all restraint. Because of this, I鈥檇 caused grudges everywhere. If Master hadn鈥檛 imparted me the Death power Upanishad, I would have been killed a long time ago."

"Precursor, you鈥檙e fierce," Shi Yan appraised him wholeheartedly.

"Well, you鈥檙e not bad, either." Xuan He smiled relaxingly, "I鈥檝e been watching you discreetly for many years. Your behavior in this aspect is similar to mine that year. But you do have love. You can鈥檛 walk through one hundred bushes without having a leaf stick to your body. Well well, you can鈥檛 compare to me that year. That year, I didn鈥檛 lack extremely beautiful women and I鈥檇 changed partners all the time. I鈥檒l tell you this. The name Xuan He had a unique meaning in the hearts of the ladies at that time."

Xuan He didn鈥檛 feel shame and he grinned. When he remembered his glorious past, his face was arrogant.

"Precursor, you鈥檙e exotic. You鈥檇 been chased around and almost killed because of love affairs. I鈥檓 totally convinced," Shi Yan said, his eyes strange.

"Cough, cough!" Xuan He鈥檚 middle-aged face blushed and he waved his hands. "Nah, we shouldn鈥檛 talk about this topic anymore. Besides us, the God Clan, the Heavenly Monster Tribe, and the Imperial Dark Tribe, the leaders of the Thousand Fantasy Sect, the Broken Hall, and the Heaven River Temple also have reached the Immortal Realm. However, they鈥檝e had their breakthrough in the past ten thousand years, so their realm isn鈥檛 high. First Sky of Immortal Realm. Hmm, yeah, and the President of Tsunami Chamber of Commerce. This man is really mysterious and concealed. He must be at the Immortal Realm, but I鈥檓 not sure which sky."

Xuan He frowned and said, "Well, it鈥檚 the general situation. The experts who can reach the Immortal Realm are the best of the best in this vast sea of stars."

He looked at the Despair Island beneath them. When his eyes fell on Yang Tian Emperor, they became brighter and deeper. "Your Great Grandfather has the potential to break to the Immortal Realm. He鈥檚 supposed to be the Chief of the Despair Force. In some aspects, he and Senro are alike like objects molded out of the same material."

Then, Xuan He paused and sighed, "Where did you find Senro鈥檚 remains?"

Shi Yan knew he knew, so he didn鈥檛 want to conceal it. "In the chaotic space basin."

"Indeed," Xuan He nodded, "He had left to the space crack to find Master鈥檚 remains. He had not returned ever since. I guess he had buried himself there. Although his power was marvelous, he didn鈥檛 cultivate Space power Upanishad, sigh..."

Xuan He suddenly quieted down.

Shi Yan stooped and said nothing. He observed the Despair Island underneath. At this moment, the three Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm couldn鈥檛 gain the upper hand from Baku, so they had left the island one after another.

Yang Tian Emperor hadn鈥檛 joined the battle yet. He had sat in a corner from the beginning. He was waiting for them to attack him first. However, the other three had aimed at Baku. As they had sensed the strange energy from him, they didn鈥檛 dare to provoke him.

As for now, after the other three had left the island, only Yang Tian Emperor and Baku were there.

Yang Tian Emperor sat still. After Baku had forced the three Peak of Ethereal God Realm experts to leave, the Incipient Extent above his head turned into a world of dark clouds that moved towards Yang Tian Emperor.

The world of dark clouds was filled with lonesome, desperate auras. Deep inside the dark clouds was a freezing cold, desperate heart that gave people no hope of surviving. Seeing it, people could only think that they were about to fall into an endless, pitiful place somewhere.

The intent domain rose in his Incipient Extent and covered Yang Tian Emperor.

Shi Yan concentrated, his eyes surprised when he observed the battle underneath.

Inside the torrential dark clouds, Yang Tian Emperor鈥檚 eyes shot out blood light. The blood light was beautiful and powerful like a rainbow piercing through layers of dark clouds.

Although they had the same Despair power Upanishad, Yang Tian Emperor鈥檚 intent domain had the hope of surviving in despair.

The persistent, undying hope in despair like the never-ending flame of Karma burned down Baku鈥檚 dark clouds. They turned into thin smoke and then vanished.

Yang Tian Emperor鈥檚 flame of the hope of surviving was born in his despair. Although it wasn鈥檛 fierce, it carried endless power as if it would never extinguish but keep being stubborn and dance.

The brilliant light sparkled in Xuan He鈥檚 eyes. He nodded and appraised, "The Despair power Upanishad that your Great Grandpa has learned and experienced is the real Despair power Upanishad. Baku鈥檚 Despair power Upanishad has only loneliness and desperation. This kind of despair isn鈥檛 the truth of this Upanishad. The most marvelous, yet terrifying feature of the Despair power Upanishad is the undying hope inside the despair. That hope is the strongest, most powerful feature of the Despair power Upanishad. It鈥檚 the core of the power that helps the warrior challenge others at a higher realm. Baku has stepped on the wrong turn on the path of Despair power Upanishad. He鈥檚 not your Great Grandfather鈥檚 rival."

"Yeah, I can see that. Baku doesn鈥檛 have hope. He is desperate. It鈥檚 not the real power of this Upanishad. Although his God power is more abundant, his understanding of the power is too low. Eventually, he will lose this battle," Shi Yan also concluded.

He could feel Yang Tian Emperor鈥檚 power Upanishad and energy increase every minute after he had received Senro鈥檚 essence.

The battle with Baku was like a chance to quench Yang Tian Emperor鈥檚 iron hammer. His realm was increasing clearly. Unless Baku could kill him instantly, Baku was destined to lose.
