Strongest War Emperor

At the peak of Cangxia Mountain, atop the four battle stages in the center of the Martial Arts Arena, dragons seemed to ride the clouds and tigers the wind. Battle Intent surged and auras churned.

The light of various Magic spells flashed without pause, accompanied by a continuous series of furious shouts and the thunderous booms of clashing Energy.

As more and more people were eliminated, the battles grew fiercer.

In moments of crisis, many disciples from the Profound Dao Sect and the other four Sects had no choice but to summon the powerful Magic Shields and Spirit Beasts forged by Shen Lang.

The disciples from the other Sects also stopped holding back.

They unleashed their ultimate moves, revealing one hidden Magical Treasure and Secret Artifact after another.

The scene was incredibly explosive, making the seniors from every Sect nod repeatedly in approval.

The possibility Shen Lang had suspected did not come to pass.

Tang Wenqing of the White Bone Hall had not lent the Seal-Demon to any other disciples from her Sect.

Without an Exotic Treasure like the Seal-Demon, the members of the major Sects found it much easier to face those from the White Bone Hall.

However, people who came from a place of constant slaughter like the Celestial Defying Demon Realm were indeed incredibly fierce and savage.

In terms of aura alone, the disciples of Demonic Dao Sects like the White Bone Hall and the Blood Wing Demon Sect far surpassed those from ordinary Righteous Sects.

Many disciples from sheltered Sects would tremble uncontrollably and retreat without a fight the moment they encountered someone from the White Bone Hall.

For a time, the disciples from the White Bone Hall and the Blood Wing Demon Sect stole the show, overpowering the members of the Imperial Dragon Sect and the other two major Sects.

Even disciples from the three great Spirit Copper Level Sects—the Imperial Dragon Sect, the Li Hen Sect, and the Flower Sect—lost more than they won when facing disciples from the White Bone Hall and the Blood Wing Demon Sect.

The members of these three Sects ground their teeth in frustration, but they were helpless.

They could only place all their hopes on the Profound Dao Sect and its four allies...

Only the disciples of the Five Great Sects, such as the Profound Dao Sect and the Xiu Hua Sect, could suppress these two great Demonic Dao Sects.

It was, admittedly, a very strange situation.

People from powerful Spirit Copper Level Sects were actually pinning their hopes on members of Profound Iron Level Sects.

In the past, this would have been almost unimaginable!

But with the Profound Dao Sect having produced someone like Shen Lang, most people could understand why this was happening.

At this moment, Shen Lang was not paying much attention to the great battles below. Instead, he was holding a map and examining it in detail.

This was the map that Shangguan Feiyue, the Elder Ancestor of the Imperial Dragon Sect, had someone deliver a short while ago.

It was the most detailed map of the Yumu Cave Blessed Land to date.

The Yumu Cave Blessed Land was located within the Dragon Scale Forbidden Land, one of the Three Great Wilderness Lands of the Western Wilderness.

It was like an oasis in the middle of a vast desert.

The entrance was in the southern part of the Dragon Scale Forbidden Land, and the largest and safest area was just inside.

The Spirit Base Grass and Spirit-Building Flower in this very region were what attracted the fervent gazes of the various Sects.

While there were certainly many other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Yumu Cave Blessed Land, every one of them was guarded by High Tier Demon Beasts.

Furthermore, their quantities were far from comparable to the Spirit-Building Flower and Spirit Base Grass.

This region was precisely the place to gather Spirit-Building Flower and Spirit Base Grass.

It was also the trial ground for the Spirit Martial Realm disciples of each Sect.

This area was somewhat similar to the outskirts of the Barbaric lands, home to many types of High Tier Demon Beasts.

Fifth Level Demon Beasts were the most numerous, while Sixth and Seventh Level Demon Beasts could be seen everywhere.

A Sixth Level Demon Beast was basically equivalent in Cultivation to a Spirit Martial Realm Ninth Heaven Peak Martial Artist.

And a Seventh Level Demon Beast had reached the level of a Xuanwu Realm Martial Artist.

Such Demon Beasts were extremely lethal to most Martial Artists in the Middle to Late Stage of the Spirit Martial Realm.

Of course, the most fatal threat was often not the vicious Demon Beasts...

...but other people.

The law of the jungle—the weak are meat for the strong—would be demonstrated to its fullest extent in this region.

The law of the jungle: survival of the fittest.

For most people, the greatest danger was definitely not the powerful Demon Beasts, but the disciples from other Sects.

This trial in the Yumu Cave Blessed Land was an opportunity that walked the knife’s edge of death.

The region further inside was slightly smaller in scope.

Those who roamed this area were basically the Xuanwu Realm Powerhouses from the various Sects.

Many Spirit Herbs and Spirit Fruits grew here that could help a Xuanwu Realm Martial Artist break through to the next Realm, as well as countless ore materials that were difficult to find in the outside world.

However, this place was teeming with even more powerful Demon Beasts, and various mysterious and powerful Restrictions had begun to appear, making it fraught with danger.

Past this area, continuing north, many broken walls and ruins began to appear. This was the periphery of the mysterious power that was the Yumu Cave Blessed Land.

Even King Martial Realm Powerhouses had to be on their highest alert and proceed with extreme caution here.

Here, the land and sky were densely covered with all sorts of ancient Restrictions.

A single careless misstep could lead to eternal damnation!

But even these dilapidated halls and ruins were enough to make the powerhouses of the major Sects flock to them.

Any single item left behind by the mysterious power of the Yumu Cave Blessed Land was enough to cause a sensation.

This was a place where opportunity and danger coexisted.

However, once they reached the outskirts of these ruins, people from ordinary Sects could advance no further.

Even Emperor Martial Realm Powerhouses did not dare to venture deep into the dilapidated pavilions and towers.

A Pocket World Blessed Land that surpassed even Legendary Powers, even in its decline and ruin, was not something ordinary powerhouses could easily touch.

As Shen Lang’s finger slid across the map, streams of Divine Thought stored within it poured into his mind, telling him everything about each region.

”Next match: Tang Yiyi of the Xiu Hua Sect versus Tang Wenqing of the White Bone Hall!”

Just then, the referee below announced loudly.

Shen Lang silently closed the map and looked down, a faint smile immediately appearing on his lips.

”They’re really matched up! It’s Tang Wenqing again!” Mei Yingxue, the Sect Leader of the Xiu Hua Sect, exclaimed with an ugly expression. ”Xiaolang, what do you think we should do?”

Tang Yiyi’s current Cultivation was at the Spirit Martial Realm Eighth Heaven. She had been undefeated in her previous battles, making her quite the outstanding Chosen of Heaven.

But against an opponent like Tang Wenqing, who not only had superior Cultivation but also carried the Exotic Treasure ”Seal-Demon”...

Seeing her beloved disciple be the first to encounter Tang Wenqing, Mei Yingxue’s expression changed drastically, and she quickly called Tang Yiyi over.

Tang Yiyi walked over with a frigid expression, stood before Shen Lang, and said nothing.

”Take this. You’ll need it to deal with Tang Wenqing.”

Shen Lang took out two pieces of wood that he had refined earlier and placed them in Tang Yiyi’s hands. He then said, ”On the Jade Scroll from before...”

”I already know,” Tang Yiyi interrupted him coldly.

Mei Yingxue, standing to the side, looked as if a headache was coming on.

Shen Lang’s hand was still outstretched as Tang Yiyi turned and walked away.

The various Sect Leaders looked at each other, their faces filled with embarrassment.

Nowadays, there were few people among the Five Great Sects who would disregard Shen Lang’s reputation so openly.

”Xiaolang, don’t be angry. Yiyi is like this with everyone. It doesn’t mean she has a problem with you, so don’t overthink it...” Mei Yingxue quickly explained. ”But facing a ruthless character like Tang Wenqing, how should she even fight this battle? Yiyi will be alright, won’t she?”

Shen Lang smacked his lips and said, ”Tang Yiyi’s talent is exceptional. Her Cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds these past few months, and few disciples among the Five Sects can match her control over her power. Setting aside the Seal-Demon, with the help of her Spirit Beast, they should be evenly matched.”

”I’ve got it covered. Don’t worry too much.”

Everyone around them immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

With those words from Shen Lang, there was basically no need to worry. At that moment, Tang Yiyi had already walked onto the battle stage and was standing opposite Tang Wenqing.

One was dressed in white purer than snow, her long sleeves fluttering, as cold as ice.

The other was in black like ink, her figure exquisite, her aura bloodthirsty and violent.

The sight immediately captured the full attention of the entire audience.

Tang Wenqing glanced at Tang Yiyi and said, ”Oh, little sister shares my surname. Maybe we were from the same family five hundred years ago, hmm?”

Tang Yiyi drew her longsword, her fingers gently wiping across the blade, and didn’t bother to reply.

Stunned for a moment, Tang Wenqing laughed again and said, ”Little sister, you’re no match for your big sister. I don’t want to hurt you, so why don’t you just surrender?”

Tang Yiyi’s longsword trembled slightly, emitting a trail of Spirit Light as she said coldly, ”You talk too much.”

”What an ungrateful little brat!” Tang Wenqing said furiously. ”Your Xiu Hua Sect is close with the Profound Dao Sect, did you really think I didn’t know? Shen Lang seemed to have given you something just now, didn’t he?”

”What, are you planning to use it against me?”

Without even looking up, Tang Yiyi said, ”Yes.”

This clean and direct answer stunned Tang Wenqing once again.

Before Tang Wenqing could speak again, a thought crossed Tang Yiyi’s mind, and she immediately summoned a Spirit Beast.

A giant python, fifty feet long, instantly appeared beside Tang Yiyi. It flicked its tongue and stared menacingly at Tang Wenqing.

”Oh, little sister actually has a Sixth Level Ice Soul Cold Python? Looks like your big sister will have to put in a little effort after all. But is your Ice Soul Cold Python a hybrid? Why does it have a sharp horn? I’ve never seen one like that before,” Tang Wenqing said with another coquettish laugh.

Tang Yiyi snorted coldly. ”’A little effort?’ Then... die!”

The moment her voice fell, Tang Yiyi shot forward like an arrow, her longsword carrying a bone-chilling aura as it thrust toward Tang Wenqing.

Tang Wenqing’s eyes narrowed, and just as she was about to move...

The ”Ice Soul Cold Python” that had lunged out at the same time as Tang Yiyi suddenly shot a thin golden thread from its sharp horn!

The thread was faint and almost invisible, its speed so incredible it was baffling, and it instantly struck Tang Wenqing’s forehead!

BOOM!

Tang Wenqing felt a thunderous explosion erupt in her mind. Gigantic waves churned in her Sea of Consciousness, and her awareness was thrown into chaos!

’Damn it, it’s a Divine Thought attack! That’s not an Ice Soul Cold Python!’ Tang Wenqing subconsciously clutched her head with both hands!

At that same moment, the incredibly fast Tang Yiyi had already closed the distance, the icy aura from her longsword washing over her opponent!

’This is bad!’

Her head swimming and her Divine Sense in agony, Tang Wenqing knew she was in extreme danger. Her right hand flashed, her longsword glowing with a spectral light as she executed five strikes to protect her entire body.

At the same time, she stomped her right foot on the ground and shot backward!

At that instant, everyone held their breath...

’Could Tang Yiyi really defeat Tang Wenqing in a single move? What on earth is that Demon Beast?’
