Chapter 658 – The Stone Of Suppression! (1/2)
In the air above Ancient Domain City were 10 yellow robed old men, and 30 white robed old men stood behind them.
It was none other than Xuan Kong, Xuan Ming, and the others. But at this moment, Xuan Kong’s group of 10 were merely at the ninth rank of the Monarch Realm. If Half-Saints of the Hallowed Grounds left for the Profounder Continent, then their cultivations would be suppressed by a realm. So, the Half-Saints of the Hallowed Grounds rarely came to the continent unless there were some especially important affairs to attend to. Because once their realms of cultivation were suppressed, the slightest mistake may cause them to be eternally incapable of advancing back into the Half-Saint Realm!
But they had no choice this time.
Regardless of whether it was the defiant profounder, Qin Bufan, or the southern territory, the Hallowed Grounds refused to give them a chance to strengthen themselves.
“This is the Profounder Continent?” Xuan Kong swept the surroundings with his gaze, and everything within an area of a few tens of thousands of kilometers were reflected within his eyes. He said, “I never expected that it would have declined to such a state. Not to mention fighting the defiant profounders, just one or two defiant profounders at the level of Qin Bufan would probably be able to destroy this continent!”
“It really is too weak!” Xuan Ming said, “But it really makes me curious. After all, a continent with such scarce spirit energy was actually able to give birth to that many geniuses. The Martial G.o.d from all those years ago, that madman who was mad for battle and constantly said ‘when have I feared the world!’, the 2 Supreme Exalts, the Unfettered One, and this fellow we’re facing now, the Undertaker…. Every single one of them are peerless geniuses!”
“I have nothing to say about the Unfettered One, the Martial G.o.d from all those years ago, and that madman. However, is that fellow, the Undertaker, even qualified to be compared with the Supreme Exalts?” Xuan Kong said coldly, “He isn’t strong, it’s the Half-Saints of this world who are weak!”
Xuan Ming nodded lightly and didn’t refute it. He gazed at the city and said, “Yang Ye is about to break through into the Monarch Realm!”
“He won’t have the chance!” Xuan Kong raised his right hand slowly before swiftly pressing it down towards the city below. An enormous palm tore through s.p.a.ce and smashed down forcefully towards Ancient Domain City.
Meanwhile, an enormous palm suddenly shot up into the sky from within the city, and it smashed against Xuan Kong’s attack.
Bang!
Xuan Kong’s attack was blasted apart.
“He’s finally showing himself?” said Xuan Kong in a cold voice.
In next to no time, Elder Mu, the Demon Saint, and the Demon Emperor appeared in the sky above Ancient Domain City.
All of them are at the Monarch Realm?
The Demon Saint and Demon Emperor were slightly stunned when they saw Xuan Kong’s group. They’d thought that it would be Half-Saints, but they’d never imagined that it was merely Monarch Realm experts who stood before them. Could it be that they came to give their lives away?
Elder Mu glanced at Xuan Kong and the others before he said, “They’re Half-Saints!”
“Your discerning ability isn’t bad!” Xuan Kong sized up Elder Mu, and he was slightly surprised. Because even his strength was actually insufficient to see through the Undertaker who stood before him. Most importantly, he sensed a trace of danger from the Undertaker!
Elder Mu nodded and said, “Since all of you didn’t hesitate to suffer a drop in your cultivations in order to come here, I presume you have some sort of trump card. Go ahead and activate it! As for threats and ridicule, let’s not engage in that and waste our time!”
“You’re too arrogant!” Right at this moment, a voice suddenly resounded, and then a black robed old man appeared here.
The Half-Saint of the devil race!
At the same time, the Oceanic Emperor arrived here as well. Both of them stood on the Hallowed Grounds’ side, so their decision was obvious!
The Demon Saint’s face sank. Elder Mu and him and discussed an alliance with the Half-Saints of the devil race and oceanic clans. At that time, both of them had said that they would consider it. But the Demon Saint had never expected that they would immediately side with the Hallowed Grounds once it sent experts to the continent. I would have joined forces with Elder Mu and annihilated them if I knew that this would happen!
Xuan Kong was slightly stunned when he saw them, and then he smiled, “My Hallowed Grounds will remember this.” He wasn’t a fool, and he knew that the help of 2 more Half-Saints in the continent was extremely beneficial to him!
Even though the experts of the Hallowed Grounds were only at the ninth rank of the Monarch Realm, the Oceanic Emperor and Devil Saint didn’t dare to put on airs of superiority. The Oceanic Emperor nodded lightly and said, “Our enemy is the defiant profounders. Regardless of whether it’s the human race, the demon race, the devil race, or my oceanic clans, we are duty bound to fight the defiant profounders.”
“But some don’t share that opinion!” Xuan Kong glanced at Elder Mu and the Demon Saint, and then his gaze remained on the Demon Saint as he said, “You’re that Half-Saint from the demon race, right? The heavens are benevolent, and so is my Hallowed Grounds. I’ll give you a chance to rectify your mistakes by joining us, and my Hallowed Grounds will let bygones be bygones for everything else that has occurred in the past. Otherwise, the myriad of beings from your demon race will be transformed into ashes once we’re done here!”
Meanwhile, the Devil Saint said, “Demon Saint, the human race killed the Mortal Emperor and are going against the Hallowed Grounds, that’s treacherous and heinous crime. Don’t be foolish or it’ll be too late when you lose everything you’ve accomplished throughout your life!”
“This is your last chance!” The Oceanic Emperor gazed at the Demon Saint as he spoke flatly.
The Demon Saint shook his head and said, “The Hallowed Grounds isn’t the same Hallowed Grounds from all those years ago. The current Hallowed Grounds has forgotten why those experts of the older generation created the Hallowed Grounds. Those experts sacrificed countless Dragon Veins of the continent to create the Hallowed Grounds so that it would guard the defiant profounders and protect the continent. It’s an honor and a responsibility.”
When he spoke up to this point, a wisp of ridicule arose on the corners of his mouth as he said, “But the current Hallowed Grounds has lost that honor and responsibility. They’ve forgotten the intentions of the experts from all those years ago. They only have their sense of superiority now.”
