Chapter 506: Chapter 506: The Powerful Wuji Immortal Palace Saint Heir

Chapter 506: Brimming with Pride

At this moment, the Saint Heir of the Wuji Immortal Palace was brimming with pride.

The combat strength of these inferior demons was so formidable that even the strongest of the new disciples couldn’t withstand a single blow, yet they had fallen at his hand. Feeling the admiring and awestruck gazes of the crowd, the Saint Heir of the Wuji Immortal Palace appeared outwardly calm, but inside, he was exceedingly smug.

That so-called Young Master Ye Qingchen can perform as spectacularly as he likes in this tournament, but he’s no match for a single strike from me! Does he really think he’s worthy of competing with me for Xiao Xiao?

The combat power of these inferior demons was, at best, equivalent to the early stages of the Martial Emperor Realm. The Saint Heir of the Wuji Immortal Palace, however, had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm long ago. His strength was even on par with some of the veteran Martial Emperors. After defeating one inferior demon, the Saint Heir’s confidence soared to its peak.

In response to the Saint Heir’s words, Xiao Xiao remained noncommittal. As long as she could be with her young master, she felt perfectly safe, no matter what happened. Therefore, even after witnessing the inferior demons, Xiao Xiao remained fearless. Her indifference led the Saint Heir to mistakenly believe she was simply stunned by the demons’ power, which made him even more eager to put on a more serious performance.

When the remaining demons saw their comrade killed, the innate ferocity of the Demon Clan was ignited. The four of them converged on the Saint Heir, ready to avenge their fallen companion.

The contestants and spectators who had narrowly escaped the inferior demons’ clutches stopped fleeing when they witnessed the Saint Heir’s heroic display. This was Eternal City, a place teeming with Martial King Realm masters, and it was the venue for the Sect’s tournament for new disciples. How could they allow these inferior demons to strut around and show off their might here? Furthermore, the Saint Heir of the Wuji Immortal Palace had taken action, proving that these inferior demons were not invincible. Wouldn’t it be utterly humiliating to run away now? So, even though they knew it was dangerous, they all remained where they were.

And in truth, the Saint Heir was utterly fearless as he faced the four demons, his gaze cold and indifferent.

”You of the Demon Clan, our Human Race magnanimously spared you during your last major invasion. I can’t believe you haven’t learned your lesson and still dare to trespass on our territory. Since you dare to begin this slaughter anew, don’t blame us for being ruthless,” the Saint Heir declared righteously. Clearly, he had access to more comprehensive information than Xiao Xiao, as he not only exposed the demons’ origins but also listed their past crimes.

However, the Saint Heir’s words only provoked laughter from the inferior demons. The one in the lead let out a strange cackle and then spoke in a dry, rasping voice.

”You and I are just the lowest of the low in this universe. Don’t think you’re a cut above anyone else. I admit you’re strong, but what has that got to do with my Demon Clan? Now, scram, or I’ll make sure you won’t even have a place to be buried!”

The inferior demon’s words were devoid of any emotion, as if stating a simple fact. This tone immensely irritated the Saint Heir. Since becoming the Saint Heir of the Wuji Immortal Palace, when had he ever been looked down upon by anyone? What’s more, for these demons to call him lower-class, even the dregs of the universe—such a statement was utterly intolerable.

The Saint Heir had been basking in the crowd’s admiration, his heart swelling with pride. Now, the mockery from these inferior demons was like pouring oil on a fire, instantly igniting his rage. He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Xiao, and seeing that she paid no mind to the demon’s words, he breathed a sigh of relief before speaking coldly.

”Enough of your arrogant babble. Although This Holy Son doesn’t know how you opened a passage to the human world, it’s unfortunate for you that you’ve encountered me. Your plan is doomed to fail!”

After speaking, fearful that the inferior demons might say something else to damage his reputation, the Saint Heir immediately made his move.

Combat for a Martial Emperor was different from that of a Martial King. Although Martial Emperors still used advanced Martial Techniques, they primarily relied on their control over the world’s Energy. After all, upon reaching the Martial Emperor Realm, nearly everyone developed their own renowned techniques. By comparison, the effects of lower tiers like Earth Rank Martial Techniques were negligible. Only rare Heaven Rank Martial Techniques, legendary God Rank techniques, or Secret Techniques could support a Martial Emperor in battles above their tier.

Moreover, the Saint Heir was now about to face four opponents at once. Based on his knowledge of these demons, he knew it would be incredibly difficult for them to command the Energy of the human world after entering it. Thus, he understood his advantage.

The Saint Heir slowly extended his right palm, and four streams of Energy shot out from it. Initially, the Energy in these streams was barely comparable to that of an early-stage Martial Emperor. But as they flew, they continuously absorbed more and more of the world’s Energy, making the four attacks increasingly terrifying.

Even from a distance, Ye Qingchen could see the very space around the attack begin to warp and grow fragile under the Saint Heir’s seemingly casual strike.

Just a single casual attack can resonate with the heavens and the earth, making the surrounding space unable to bear its Energy. The Saint Heir of the Wuji Immortal Palace is truly beyond comparison to ordinary people! It seems that with my current strength, if I were to face the Saint Heir, I’d likely be suppressed with no chance to even fight back.

Having now witnessed so many contestants able to summon nature’s spiritual energy for their own use, Ye Qingchen felt a pang of jealousy. He had once tried to study this kind of technique himself, but his efforts had fizzled out, ultimately coming to nothing. The methods were simply too complex. With his strength back then, trying to even glimpse the profound secrets of such a skill was nothing but a fool’s dream.

The four inferior demons were astounded when they saw the Saint Heir’s attack, but they showed not the slightest hint of fear. After all, they all understood their role: they were merely a vanguard, sent to scout the human world. No matter how powerful the Saint Heir before them was, he was still just one person. The other Martial Emperor Realm experts were, just as the rumors in the Demon Clan suggested, utterly vulnerable.

As the Saint Heir’s four attacks closed in, the four inferior demons swiftly joined forces, unleashing a furious torrent of Magic Power to counter them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Four massive explosions erupted almost simultaneously. The four inferior demons had never anticipated that the attacks would suddenly accelerate, reaching them in the blink of an eye with the force of a thunderclap
