Chapter 1810: Pervert
Chapter 1810: Pervert
Given the severity of the azure dragon ancestral god’s injuries, he would be attacked as soon as he left the Land of Reincarnation. The dragon race would be dragged into the situation as well.
The three strongest draconic powerhouses in order of hierarchy were the ancestral god, Leize, and the ancestor of the golden dragons—the nine clawed golden dragon. With both the ancestral god and Leize occupied in the Land of Reincarnation, the nine clawed golden dragon glimpsed an opportunity for his ambitions. Hence, the golden dragons began mounting challenges of azure dragon authority with his support.
In the twenty-nine thousandth, nine hundred and ninety-ninth year of the Xuanhuang calendar, the five hundredth supreme projected their will into the land. With that, the Cloud Atlas Supreme—son of powerhouse Yun Yi—called for the outsiders to band together and form a loose alliance. After some planning, three hundred and twenty-four supremes set out for the heartland of the fourth realm—the Central Cluster.
The Central Cluster was where the Star Sect called home and it was on par with a sacred land in these times. It housed the largest Formula Academy outside of the one on Mount Astronomia.
Ah Zhi had stepped down from her position long ago and passed it onto the first Nihil World Sovereign of the sect—Xing Chen. The latter overawed the realm when she accessed nine levels of immortal dao sequence.
However, this level of strength was inconsequential when faced with supremes from the chief worlds. Three hundred and twenty-five supremes, as well as thousands of their sequence experts, cut straight for the Central Cluster and the Formula Academy at the Star Sect. No resistance they encountered lasted for long. Various altars and statues to the supremes forested the major worlds, constantly summoning projections of their will.
Once the headquarters of the sect, the World Star had been moved to manifest the Major Cycle Worlds in Earth’s space. Even though it wasn’t on par with the World Star of old, the current Star Sect was rooted in a massive major world that was also incredibly strong.
Despite nearly three hundred supremes charging for them, Xing Chen remained calm. She coolly deployed multiple layers of formation outside the sect to surround the premises with protection.
The remaining supremes attacked elsewhere at the same time. This was a typical use of diversion in the art of war. Everyone’s attention was focused on the Star Sect, and the spirit papers devoted more effort to reporting the events that took place there.
The battles of Mount Astronomia had immensely affected morale and forced the outsiders to lower their heads. The Demonic Vine then slapped their supremes across the face, putting these lofty outsiders on uneven footing in front of the supposed barbaric natives. It was time to take something back.
……
“How have you been, Greatred Supreme?” The Demonic Vine floated down like a sprite of darkness and landed in front of the Star Formula Academy. She bestowed a sweet smile upon the supreme.
She now appeared eighteen years old and her face could launch a thousand ships. Moving and alluring, her bearing was the most eye-catching of all. She was weak to the point of inviting protection, but also strongly domineering. The conflicting attributes heightened her charm to irresistible levels.
The vine and Jian Bu’er had become dao partners during the past twenty thousand years. Hence, there were a few hints of his lackadaisical, uncaring attitude in her—but another edge also shone through at every moment.
Her presence and greeting to the Greatred Supreme caught everyone’s eye. Sources for the spirit paper and a few freelance writers furiously depicted her image on paper.
“Demonic Vine!” The supreme’s expression turned awkward. He was the first supreme to project his will into the land and also the first one to be mercilessly beaten by the vine. He clenched his teeth and bared them with a smile. “I thought you’d gone to save the Lower Cluster. What are you doing here?”
“What does the Lower Cluster have to do with me?” She tilted her head to the side in thought. “I don’t know anyone there, but I share quite a deep relationship with the Star Formula Academy. My dao partner, Jian Bu’er, is an instructor of sword dao there.”
“You have a dao partner?” Greatred’s voice shook. The sound of heartbreak echoed through the air—not just that of his heart, but that of everyone else’s around him.
Inside the Star Formula Academy, Jian Bu’er shuddered with dread. An ill wind swept across the back of his neck and a foreboding premonition rose from his heart.
A smile spread across the Demonic Vine’s face and she gestured with pride, “When I was this small… no, this high. Jian Bu’er protected me and told me to be his dao partner when I grew up!”
She gestured at her waist, indicating how tall she’d been.
“Pervert!” Many cursed quietly and committed Jian Bu’er’s name to memory.
Although Jian Bu’er was physically located in the academy buildings, his skin crawled with trepidation. He’d gotten closer to Xing Chen’s disciple, Xing Lan, lately because he’d reached a key point in his study of formula dao. The Demonic Vine was immensely jealous of their closeness and so gleefully created this stumbling block for him.
“I can tell that you’re an unparalleled genius, Demonic Vine. Your potential rivals the likes of Xie Tianxun and Jiang Kui. How about this, I can promise you an ascension to supreme within three years if you join my Redsky World.” the Greatred Supreme suddenly proposed. “And on top of that, I’ll give you a wondrous opportunity if you join my faction. It’ll grant you the potential to break through supreme and enter an entirely new arena!”
“Pfft,” the vine curled her lip contemptuously. “Is this how you trick little girls? If an opportunity like that exists, you’d keep it for yourself! Cut the bullshit, you have to get through me first if you want to take the Formula Academy!”
Thunk!
Amid a sea of shocked gazes, she brought out a pair of hammers that were bigger than her. Black throughout, they brimmed with the strength of the past Heavenfall and Worldcarver. Lu Yun had combined the two weapons to personalize a tool for the Demonic Vine.
It was a wonderful weapon, but it didn’t go with her all that well.
She wanted a sword at first, so she could match Jian Bu’er, but this was when his constant accompaniment of Xing Lan infuriated her. After jumping up and down with annoyance everyday and cursing him for being a jerk, she had Lu Yun fashion a pair of hammers instead.
Lu Yun once possessed a sword called Quietus that hailed from the same origins as Heavenfall and Quietus, but it’d become Tianqi’s personal treasure after he gifted it to his disciple. Tianqi wouldn’t take it back out no matter what his master said.
The sword held extraordinary meaning in Tianqi’s eyes. He would never give it up since it was Lu Yun’s first official present to him. It was also this sword that severed his karmic ties to the god of Mount Tai, enabling him to be an independent Tianqi, as opposed to a reincarnated mountain god.
The Demonic Vine slammed the hammers into the ground and narrowed her eyes dangerously, ready to swing them into the Greatred Supreme’s head if he so much as twitched in the wrong direction.
The supreme awkwardly turned back to those standing behind him. He had many more of his peers with him this time, but apart from a select few, the only chance of victory they stood was if they mobbed her at the same time. The Demonic Vine could call upon her strength as she wished, but the supremes were restricted by their projections. They couldn’t exercise even one ten-thousandth of their full strength!
“Heh heh heh, little girl, you still have a chance of survival if you step aside now.” A weird cackling echoed as a wraith-like elder stepped forward. He swept the vine up and down with a strange look, making her very ill at ease. “We’re here today to raze and occupy this territory, not to challenge anyone! Everyone, there is no need to pay attention to her. Demolish the Formula Academy if she does not leave within three breaths!”
This shadowy elder was the domineering Thundercloud Supreme—Yun Yi’s valued subordinate. He’d come to the Land of Reincarnation with the Cloud Atlas Supreme. A treacherous and ruthless individual, it was his idea that put the supremes at the Star Formula Academy.
“Three breaths are up, kill!” Thundercloud roared before the Demonic Vine could respond. His men blinked with surprise, then charged forward.
“Bring it on! Do I look like I’m afraid of you guys?! Unbounded demonic dao!” The vine shouted as the hammers blurred into motion. Waves of black qi formed an ocean that gave rise to a tidal wave, crashing down on the invaders.
The great formation around the Star Formula Academy rumbled with activity as Xing Chen gave her command. Hell cannons manifested inside the arrays and fired a barrage at the outsiders.
