Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Gathering in the Holy City_1

The most watched Sect naturally belonged to none other than the Heavenly King Sect.

As the strongest among the Twelve Sects, this giant overlord boasted the most outstanding genius disciples of the current era.

Furthermore, they had always maintained a close relationship with the Royal Family of the Sacred Dynasty.

Inside the main hall of the Heavenly King Sect at the moment, there were five people.

One of them was the Sect Leader of the Heavenly King Sect, a top-tier powerhouse of the Cave Heaven Realm, with one foot already stepping into the Yin-Yang Realm.

The second was the Holy Emperor of the Sacred Dynasty, also a top-tier powerhouse of the Cave Heaven Realm.

The other three were the Holy Son, Mo Wu Shang, and Feng Yaorao from the Dragon Sky Academy.

”Wu Shang, you will become the Holy Son’s most capable assistant; your Demon Eye can see through everything, causing enemies to tremble with fear. Both of us have always been optimistic about you. At the very least, you can ascend to the Yin-Yang Realm. Therefore, this time, since you want to defend your second place, strive to increase the Heavenly King Sect’s fortune!”

The speaker was none other than the Sect Leader of the Heavenly King Sect.

”As you command, Master!”

Mo Wu Shang’s face was expressionless; no one knew what he was thinking. Perhaps this proud young man didn’t think he was much weaker than the Holy Son. In his heart, he might even want to challenge the Holy Son to a decisive battle.

But he didn’t dare say so.

In the Heavenly King Sect, the Holy Son’s position was equivalent to that of the Sect Master.

”Yaorao, you didn’t put forth your full strength during the preliminary competition. Otherwise, not only could you have obtained a treasure, this final competition, you must make it into the top three. By then, when the Dragon Sky Academy is officially established, you will be one of the three core disciples!”

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly King Sect turned to Feng Yaorao and said with a frown.

”Sect Leader, I indeed did not exert my full strength. However, that Ling Xiao also seemed to be holding back his true power, we must be wary,” Feng Yaorao respectfully said.

”Stop mentioning that Ling Xiao; he is nothing. Had the Moon Lady not backed him, I could have taken his life last time!” The Holy Son truly hated Ling Xiao to the extreme. Hearing this name, he could immediately lose his composure.

”Holy Son, you possess the Ancient Natural Dragon Martial Soul, also known as the Natural Dragon Soul, which is the most powerful Martial Soul besides the Mountain and River Martial Soul. There is no need to fuss over trivial characters. You must keep a calm mindset, understand?” The Holy Emperor looked at the Holy Son and indifferently said, ”As a descendant of emperors, you will not only inherit the title of the Chosen Son of Heaven but the entirety of the Heavenly Dragon Continent. This Martial Arts Festival is no small matter, completely different from the past. You must claim first place. Can you do that?”

The Holy Son took a deep breath and immediately calmed down, his eyes exuding divine superiority.

He softly said, ”The glory of the Heavenly Dragon Continent has long since faded; to me, this Martial Arts Festival is merely a convenient way to obtain the title of the Chosen Son of Heaven. There will be no unexpected outcomes. Once I have the title of the Chosen Son of Heaven, I plan to set sail on Heaven’s Chosen Channel.”

The Holy Emperor laughed heartily, ”Good, that’s the true demeanor of a king. With such confidence, you will face no problems. I just hope that during this Martial Arts Festival, someone can give you a bit of pressure so that you can become even stronger.”

Feng Yaorao quietly shook her head on the side.

In her heart, there was always a shadow that she couldn’t shake off, and that was Ling Xiao.

The strength of that Ling Xiao was definitely not inferior to the Holy Son; she had always had this intuition.

...

The eastern gate of the Holy City was a vast plain.

By reason, such terrain was very unsuitable for defense, but even the once mighty True Demon Empire never had the opportunity to penetrate into the Holy City.

The reason was no other than the presence of the Nine Cauldrons that suppressed the destiny, and the King of People had also set up a very terrifying ”Nine Cauldrons Heavenly Array” beneath this land.

This Array Formation provided a strong amplification for allies.

Against enemies, however, it caused a very horrifying weakening effect.

It was rumored that when the True Demon Empire attacked near the Holy City, they suddenly suffered a crushing defeat, a defeat that marked the beginning of the empire’s downfall.

Although the True Demon Emperor and the nine other Demon Kings escaped, a large number of Demon Generals and Demon Soldiers died in battle here, becoming eternal lost souls.

Therefore, if anyone were to cause trouble in the Holy City, they would be seriously asking for death.

On this vast plain, martial artists in temporary encampments were all waiting for the gates to open.

Not a single person dared to enter rashly.

Some gathered around campfires, chatting and roasting meat.

Some were sitting cross-legged in cultivation.

Others were sparring on the side.

And there were groups laughing and cursing in jest.

The outside of the Holy City had never been so lively, which made the common people within the Holy City quite delighted.

After all, martial artists are known for their generosity. They could make a handsome profit.

The Moon Hua Sect had already arrived here.

Ling Xiao was still cultivating inside the Moonlight Treasure Ship, while Lan Yu’er and Dai Yuling and others were there eating and chatting.

Leng Hao looked excitedly at the distance and said, ”Sisters, there are really a lot of people this time. It seems like even the weakest have reached the Half-step Celestial level, and even the common people in the Holy City are Transcendent Realm Martial Artists. This is truly an extraordinary sight I have never heard of before.”

”Indeed it’s unheard of. Truly fitting for the capital city of the Sacred Dynasty. And those martial artists that block the sun, as if their aura could shake even mountains, it’s terrifying!”

Even a swarm of locusts blotting out the sky would be terrifying, let alone a dense crowd of martial artists.

Lan Yu’er was also full of awe.

”But even with so many martial artists, facing a practitioner of the Yin-Yang Realm, they would be defeated in a single move. Once you reach the Yin-Yang Realm, numbers no longer have any meaning.”

The Moon Lady said in a lukewarm tone.

Lan Yu’er stuck her tongue out. What her master, the Moon Lady, said was true, but how many could cultivate to the Yin-Yang Realm? That was asking too much of people.

Wu Xiang smiled and said, ”You three try to get as good a ranking as possible. This competition is about more than just rankings. Although there are generous rewards for the top ten, the most important thing is fortune. Ling Xiao doesn’t need to worry, but you three still need to work hard.”

”Yes, Sect Master.”

The three of them nodded in agreement.

They were all very clear about their positions.

Leng Hao and Dai Yuling planned to break into the top fifty.

Lan Yu’er aimed to make it into the top ten.

No matter what, the higher the rank, the better.

While they were waiting, more and more people continued to arrive.

”Look, Yan Lie Huo has arrived. This guy got a Red Flame Spear of Immortal-grade Treasure level in the preliminaries. His strength has clearly improved. Last time he ranked fifty-first, but this time he should be able to rank even higher, right?”

”What’s he compared to that guy over there? That’s Third Young Master Bai, who ranked thirtieth in the last Martial Arts Festival, a disciple of the Heavenly King Sect!”

”Another one’s coming, Long Xiaoxiao, who ranked twenty-ninth in the last Martial Arts Festival. This person is a disciple of the Jade Water Divine Palace with formidable strength. It’s said that last time, he made it into the top thirty with just over sixty percent Half-step Celestial cultivation level. Now he seems to be a Heavenly Pulse Warrior. His strength is very fearsome indeed.”

One after another, these young talents arrived, causing Leng Hao and Dai Yuling to become increasingly nervous.

There was no help for it, those who came seemed stronger than them.
