Asura Sovereign XIV Read online

  Wangu Shuo choked, not knowing the answer to that question. The other Elders were also silent.

  “This Huwang Xiao really gave everyone an unexpected surprise.” A while later, Wangu Changqing spoke, breaking the silence, “There’s a little over a month left to the tournament, I wonder what his final result will be.”

  Wangu Zhi stated solemnly, “In my opinion, the highest he can achieve is his current ranking, the 8th place. In fact, there’s still a chance he might be kicked down again by the 9th place Jiang Xiaosu, or the 10th place’s Jian Shiyi. Let’s not forget that the 11th ranked Lu Dongwei could climb back up into the top ten.”

  “There is that possibility. Jiang Xiaosu, Jian Shiyi, and Lu Dongwei have reached Fourth Order Highgod Realm for a long time, whereas this Huwang Xiao has just broken through to Fourth Order, barely consolidating his new cultivation level. Maintaining a position within the top ten would be difficult for him.” Wangu Yuan agreed, nodding his head.

  The other Wangu Clan Elders also nodded in agreement with Wangu Yuan’s analysis.

  Both Wangu Shuo and Wangu Changqing kept silent. Personally, the two of them had a feeling that the 8th place was not Huwang Xiao’s best achievement, there was a chance this little guy would enter the top five!

  Not knowing why, the scene of a black-haired young man sending a late-First Order Highgod Realm flying with one move during the registration suddenly flashed in Wangu Shuo’s mind.

  ‘Is that black-haired kid the same Huwang Xiao on the list?’ As the thought flashed in his mind, Wangu Shuo shook his head, disputing himself, the two couldn't be the same person. How could it be possible for a perfection peak late-Tenth Order God Realm to kill Xiang Mingzhi, Yelu Tianfeng, Beitang Wuji, and the high level other disciples?

  While the large crowd on Aeon Square was filled with talks about Huwang Xiao, the disciples in the Overflowing Lightning World finally noticed the great chances in the ranking and were undoubtedly startled.

  From the beginning of the tournament until now, with a little less than two months left, the top ten rankings had always been monopolized by disciples of Fourth Order Highgod Realm. But now, all of a sudden, this Huwang Xiao jumped out of nowhere, making his way into the top ten! How did he do this, suddenly appearing at the 8th spot?!

  The disciples who did not pay attention to the ranking list in the last two days even suspected that something went wrong with the ranking list.

  Two days ago, Huwang Xiao’s ranking was in the nine-hundreds, but now, he suddenly killed his way into the top ten, taking the number eight spot. These disciples could hardly be blamed for suspecting that something was wrong with the ranking list.

  At this time, on a flat plain not far from the mountain range where the Lightning God’s cultivation dwelling was located, a young woman clad in a green dress, who appeared to be pretty despite the semi-transparent veil on her face, retrieved her divine sense from the jade token. Her willowy eyebrows creased in a furrow, “Huwang Xiao? He actually took this young mistress’ place? How interesting.”

  This pretty woman was none other than the Tempest Academy disciple that Huwang Xiao squeezed out from the 8th place, Jiang Xiaosu.

  “According to the message passed by other Tempest Academy disciples through the communication talisman, not far up ahead is the Lightning God Palace.” Jiang Xiaosu said to herself as she blurred in a flicker, disappearing in the direction of the mountain range.

  Her speed was alarmingly fast. Watching her from the distance, her figure seemed like a whirl of unpredictable breeze.

  There was no place where the winds didn't blow, traversing thousands of li in an instant.

  While Jiang Xiaosu made her way to the Lightning God Palace, other disciples also received a similar message through the communication talisman from their sect brothers and hurried over to the Lightning God Palace.

  Among them was a giant fireball, flying across the sky at a horrifying speed toward the Lightning God Palace. This giant fireball was the transformation of a stalwart young man; on this young man’s forehead was a flame mark resembling the ancient character for fire. As this young man flew, this flame mark glimmered like burning embers.

  This young man was originally ranked at the 10th place until Huwang Xiao’s appearance forced him out, pushing him to he 11th place. He was the Orthodox Yang Sect’s Lu Dongwei. This also gave birth to Lu Dongwei’s hate toward Huwang Xiao.

  “Hmph, Huwang Xiao? I really want to see how capable you are to take the 8th spot! Hopefully, when we meet, you can withstand my Pure Yang Fire, otherwise, hehe…” Lu Dongwei sneered.

  In one of the Lightning God’s Palace buildings, a young man clad in a white brocade robe exuded an everlasting aura of old, looking at the name that appeared at the 8th place, a strong killing intent flickered in his eyes.

  “The central formation should be somewhere nearby.” The white brocade robe young man looked around intently, inhaling deeply, ‘As long as I find the central formation, this Lightning God’s cultivation dwelling is mine!’

  In a flicker, the young man was already gone.

  Huwang Xiao wasn’t aware that he had become the common target of the disciples in the top ten. After entering the palace grounds he discovered that, in here, his divine sense was being suppressed. With his current strength, his divine sense could only extend for a hundred zhang.

  Any other peak late-Third Order Highgod Realm disciples, more likely than not, wouldn't be able to spread out their divine sense at all.

  This finding resulted in the frown between Huwang Xiao’s brows, there were hundreds of palace buildings in this Lightning God Palace, and if he had to search all of those buildings one by one until the tournament ended, he still wouldn't be able to find the central formation.

  But, Huwang Xiao did not have a better plan, he could only search the buildings one by one.

  About an hour later, Huwang Xiao appeared in front of an inconspicuous palace building. Looking at this building, Huwang Xiao’s eyes gradually lit up. Although this particular palace building was inconspicuous and others might easily overlook it, Huwang Xiao detected the difference between this place and the other ones he had searched through.

  He went in, arriving at the main palace hall, then looked at the pillar erected at the center. This pillar was decorated with the carving of a lightning dragon.

  Prompted by his suspicions, Huwang Xiao created a few seal imprints with his hands and sent them into the eyes of the lightning dragon.

  Immediately, the lighting dragon came to life, causing streaks of lightning to appear around the pillar and thunder to rumble in the hall. Lightning force spread out like waves crashing the shore, bathing the palace hall in a glaring light and causing the surroundings to change. The inconspicuous hall reflected a crystalline light and an unknown fragrance filled every corner of the space.

  Looking up, Huwang Xiao saw pieces of bone that resembled translucent crystal stone floating above the hall. The crystallite light and the fragrance came precisely from these bones.

  “These are, the bones of a lightning dragon?!” A voice sounded from afar, followed by the sound of rushing wind, then a figure appeared right outside the palace building.

  It was the figure of a thin young man. His fingers were very long, exuding a whelming pressure; he was far stronger than Yelu Tianfeng and Beitang Wuji.

  A Fourth Order Highgod Realm disciple!

  Ch.871

  When the young man arrived at the palace entrance, he stared with a heated gaze at the broken pieces of lightning dragon bones hovering high in the hall, mad with joy, “Emitting fragrance, these bones definitely originate from a Heavenly God realm lightning dragon! Good stuff, absolutely good stuff! After refining these lightning dragon bones, I’ll be able to cultivate my Dark Elf Body to the perfection stage!” At the end of his words, the young man could hardly contain the ecstasy surging from his heart, throwing back his head and laughing loudly toward the sky.

  It was as if those light
ning dragon bone fragments were already his. The person standing next to them was completely ignored.

  Huwang Xiao stood there, looking indifferent. However, knowing that this palace hall actually had a Heavenly God realm lightning dragon’s bones was an unexpected surprise for him, a pleasant surprise.

  Like that young man said, those lightning dragon bone fragments were indeed good stuff. If Huwang Xiao refined them, not only could it further enhance his physique to an astonishing level, he could also comprehend the lightning law contained within them, improving his strength to another degree.

  The young man only noticed Huwang Xiao a moment later, “Peak mid-Second Order Highgod Realm? Brat, seeing that you led me to find these lightning dragon bones, I’ll spare your life. You can scram now.”

  Had the other person been a peak late-Third Order Highgod Realm, he would perhaps be a little more polite, however, a mere peak late-Second Order Highgod Realm brat wasn't worth the effort. Then again, in the young man’s opinion, not killing Huwang Xiao was courteous enough.

  Hearing the young man telling him to scram, Huwang Xiao wasn’t angered. He was smiling faintly as he replied to the young man, “If you’re capable of making me scram, I don’t mind, but it doesn’t seem like you have the capability.”

  The young man was stunned for a second, then he erupted up in laughter as if he had just heard the funniest joke in his life.

  “Brat, you say I don’t have the capability?” The man young man stopped laughing and looked Huwang Xiao up and down with interest, “Do you know who I am?”

  The young man assumed that Huwang Xiao was ignorant of his identity, which was why the young man dared to show such a brazen attitude.

  Huwang Xiao nodded, “I know. The Dark Elf Tribe’s You Wuye, ranked seventh.”

  You Wuye was a Fourth Order Highgod Realm disciple. Moreover, just now, the young man mentioned the Dark Elf Body, therefore it wasn’t hard for Huwang Xiao to guess his identity.

  The smile on You Wuye’s face vanished, his eyes emitting a faint dark green glow, he obviously didn't expect the brat to know him. And even knowing who he was, he dared to be so brazen!

  Not to mention the fact that this brat was just a peak mid-Second Order Highgod Realm. You Wuye frowned, unable to determine what gave Huwang Xiao such confidence.

  Or was this brat was just making things up, hoping to divide a small portion of the lightning dragon bone fragments?

  There was no one who wouldn't be tempted before a Heavenly God Realm lightning dragon’s bones.

  “Brat, I don’t care who you are. These lightning dragon bones, I must get all of them.” You Wuye’s gaze was chillingly cold, the thick killing intent froze the space around him, “You should obediently go die!”

  You Wuye’s figure disappeared before the last word sounded, turning into a dark green light that streaked into the palace hall. However, this dark green light was extremely faint, hard to detect by the average cultivators. Just as that dark green light was about to penetrate his forehead, Huwang Xiao placed a hand between his forehead and the dark green light, causing You Wuye’s figure to emerge again in the hall.

  In midair, You Wuye was gripping a longsword while it's tip was blocked by Huwang Xiao’ right hand. Astounded, he yelled, “You can see me?!”

  Lightning element godforce surged out from Huwang Xiao’s right hand. The unexpected force sent You Wuye tumbling back in midair and his long sword snapped into halves, falling to the floor.

  You Wuye finally managed to regain his balance at the edge of the hall, his eyes revealed more than mere shock.

  “You’re not a Second Order Highgod Realm!” You Wuye blurted out.

  A peak mid-Second Order Highgod Realm couldn't be this strong!

  Absolutely impossible!

  Hearing the certainty in You Wuye’s voice saying that he wasn’t a peak mid-Second Order Highgod Realm, Huwang Xiao wasn’t interested in debating this matter, but looked at You Wuye with a hint of bloodthirst, “I’ve said this earlier. If you’re capable of making me scram, I don’t mind doing so, but you do not have this capability.”

  You Wuye’s face sank, “Who are you really?” The dark green glow in his eyes became stronger.

  “Who I am, you will know soon.” Huwang Xiao answered calmly, “These lightning dragon bone fragments, I want all of them. Also, hand over your spatial ring and I can spare your life.”

  Anger exploded in You Wuye’s heart at Huwang Xiao’s words, he laughed in anger, “Brat, I don’t believe you're stronger than Wangu Yanhui! Not even he dares to act so arrogantly towards me!”

  “You really think merely forcing me back means you can win?”

  “Dark Elf Body!”

  You Wuye bellowed, dark light bursting out from his body and expanding at a rapid rate. In the blink of an eye, You Wuye was completely enveloped inside the dark light, as if he had completely merged with the darkness.

  The Dark Elves were the natural kings of darkness from birth, possessing an innate darkness element. After condensing their darkness element godhead, combined with their godforce, they could easily control the forces of darkness in their immediate surroundings. Merging with the darkness, their movements became hard to pinpoint, which, combined with their erratic attacks within the darkness, made it extremely hard to defend against.

  “Devil King’s Holy Light!”

  When You Wuye completely merged with darkness, he coldly harrumphed. All of a sudden, a ray of light as thick as an arm pierced out from the darkness.

  This light took the shape of a sword, cutting everything in its path. Moreover, this light sword was laced with wisps of dark devil qi, which curled into the vague silhouette of a domineering hell king.

  No doubt, You Wuye was the Dark Elf Tribe’s greatest genius, a child of darkness that could actually cultivate a devil king technique that merged darkness and light.

  Watching his Devil King’s Holy Light sword slashing down on Huwang Xiao, You Wuye was exceptionally cold, as he was confident. Amongst all the participating disciples, other than Wangu Yanhui, no other disciple could take this attack of this and remain unharmed.

  Huwang Xiao watched as the light sword laced with darkness was coming at him, and he couldn’t help but admire You Wuye, truly a Fourth Order Highgod Realm master. This level of attack left Yelu Tianfeng and Beitang Wuji far behind in the dust.

  In the split second this thought passed through Huwang Xiao’s mind, he casually lifted his hand, slapping forward. Buddhism force poured out from his Infinite Buddha Supreme Godhead into his palm, whistling out.

  Earthen Buddha Palm!

  The Supreme Buddhism force formed a sea of golden Buddhas, each and every one of them seemingly alive, releasing luminance in all four directions and painting the hall and space in a golden color.

  The Supreme Buddhism force could penetrate everything.

  The Devil King’s Holy Light was instantly cornered. The darkness that had concealed You Wuye was instantly dispersed, forcing him out into the light and causing him to fall heavily to the floor.

  You Wuye despaired, his eyes showed that he had lost the will to fight. He was facing Huwang Xiao with terror on his face, this brat was actually so strong, moreover, his godhead actually contained Buddhism force!

  In general, a Highgod Realm master’s godforce was divided into the five elements, and there would be some cultivators possessing lightning, ice, or darkness attributes from time to time. However, cultivators possessing Buddhism force hardly appeared in millions of years.

  Ch.872

  As You Wuye watched Huwang Xiao coming closer with every step, his face became a fraction paler. Then, as if remembering something, he exclaimed, “You, you’re that Huwang Xiao?!”

  He had seen Wangu Yanhui, Fang Chu, Zhou Yao, Mu Qi, and the others, moreover, he was quite familiar with their attacks and power. You Wuye really couldn’t think of anyone amongst the participating disciples who could be this terrifying.

  In that case, this
black-haired young man in front of him could only be the person who had entered the top ten in the recent days, ranked 8th on the list, that unfathomable Huwang Xiao.

  “Correct.” Seeing You Wuye already guessed his identity, Huwang Xiao did not bother to conceal it, there was nothing worth concealing after all.

  Listening to Huwang Xiao’s nonchalant admittance, You Wuye’s fear deepened. In the last two days, he had been paying attention to the changes on the ranking list, thus he was aware that the death of Yelu Tianfeng, Beitang Wuji, and disciples of these two families’ was related to Huwang Xiao.

  In other words, both Yelu Tianfeng and Beitang Wuji were killed by Huwang Xiao!

  “You…” You Wuye hastily slid backward on his butt, trying to get far away from Huwang Xiao, “Huwang Xiao, y-you want to k-kill me?!”

  Watching the fear on You Wuye’s face, Huwang Xiao shook his head, “Although killing you will give me half of your points and my ranking could rise up to the top three, maybe even the first place, I have confidence in reaching the top three or first place even without killing you.”

  Huwang Xiao was not speaking arrogant words. He was currently ranked in the 8th place, but the gap between his points and the first ranked Wangu Yanhui wasn’t that huge. Based on his speed of killing lightning beasts, catching up to the disciples above him and surpassing Wangu Yanhui was possible within ten days’ time.

  Within a month, Huwang Xiao was confident that he could exceed Wangu Yanhui by miles.

  “Then you, what do you want?” You Wuye detected a slim hope of surviving, and he calmed down a little.

  “You can live as long as you sign a blood contract with me, serving me for a hundred years. That’s all.” Huwang Xiao replied.

  Soul branding was probably unacceptable for a disciple like You Wuye, and to Huwang Xiao, soul branding or blood contracts had no difference.

  “Sign a blood contract?” Hope thickened in You Wuye’s eyes, nodding in agreement a while later.
