Chapter 273

Chapter 273 The Sovereign Came

“Zhou Xuanji, hand over the Tianxia Map . You are surrounded!” The purple-robed man cried out loudly . His name was Zhu Hanlong, and his cultivation had reached Great Realization Level Seven . He was ranked 39th in the Northern Wilderness’ Top Hundred and was greatly reputed in his region .

The cultivators behind him were all excited .

The Tianxia Map!

Their hearts were moved whenever they heard those three words .

“Humph! You are looking for death! ”

Lin Changge snorted coldly . Next, a massive wave of sword Qi that was hundreds of meters long charged toward them, splitting the sea of clouds .

The purple-robed man pushed out with his palm . A gigantic tiger head appeared out of nowhere and shredded the sword Qi with its mouth .

When he withdrew his palm, the tiger head disappeared as well .

Lin Changge flew over, followed by Ning Zifeng .

Seeing that there were so many cultivators, both frowned slightly .

Skyfall was located in the demons’ territory . How did so many powerful humans come here? If Jihuang Demon Lord were to know, he would definitely have intercepted them .

Could it be that they were working with Jihuang Demon Lord?

They were not afraid but were instead excited at the prospect of fighting powerful enemies .

“Let’s have a competition . See who kills more?” Ning Zifeng asked with a raised brow and a provocative tone .

“Let’s do it, ” Lin Changge snorted .

The two said no more and charged toward their enemies with their swords .

An intense battle exploded into action immediately .

On the mountain top .

Zhou Xuanji was still cultivating . “Be careful,” Daoya Old Man walked to his side and asked .

He scanned the situation with his mind and saw the size of their enemies .

At one glance, no Sanctum had so many Spirit Refinement cultivators .

Which meant to say that they came from all kinds of places to take the Tianxia Map together .

Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes with a frown .

It was expected .

And he felt no fear .

Other than Lin Changge and Ning Zifeng, Fenyu Dragon King was also around . They were capable of defending against this attack .

He stood up and looked at Xian Xianghua, who was far away, before saying, “Hey, how’re your injuries? ”

This old demonic woman was a formidable force . A Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal!

Even if she was injured, she was beyond Great Realization cultivators .

“So so . Dealing with this bunch is no problem . ”

Xian Xianghua replied without opening her eyes . She was domineering as usual .

Dragon Proud Hua indeed .

TL: The term “Dragon Proud Sky” is used to describe someone as powerful sarcastically . Here, the author changed “Sky” to “Hua . ”

“Can you get a lead on who’s behind this through divination? ”

Zhou Xuanji asked Daoya Old Man . Ever since he had killed the world’s fifth rank and eighth rank, those who dared to offend him must be even more powerful .

The first person he thought about was Jihuang Demon Lord .

Daoya Old Man closed his eyes and began divining .

After a while, he opened his eyes and said, frowning, “There’s demonic Qi . It must be a great demon who’s against you . It should be none other than Jihuang Demon Lord . ”

Zhou Xuanji rubbed his chin as he contemplated .

Why didn’t JIhuang Demon Lord come personally?

Could the Demon Lord be testing his power?

No matter what, a fierce battle was coming .

He immediately said to Xiao Jinghong telepathically, who was at the mountain shoulder, to gather the disciples in case they get in danger .

Boooom! Boooom! Boom…

Undulating sounds of explosions came from under the sea of clouds . The cries of cultivators could be heard faintly .

Zhou Xuanji observed the battle with his mind and saw that Lin Changge and Ning Zifeng were at a disadvantage when fighting the other three Great Realization cultivators .

But it seemed that they could still hold out for a while .

It was a good opportunity for them to train .

He planned to send Fenyu Dragon King when they reached their limits .

At the same time .

Ten thousand miles away .

Jihuang Demon Lord stood on a peak and looked afar . He could faintly see the silhouette of Skyfall from where he stood .

Behind him stood an old demon who wore a taoist robe . The old demon had transformed into human form, and he had white hair and a friendly face . If not for his oxtail, others might mistake him to be a celestial being .

“Sovereign . What are you fearing?”

The old demon asked . As the world’s 2nd, why was there a need to fear the 5th?

This was not the way Jihuang Demon Lord did things .

“Humph . You think I’m afraid? I’m just trying to lure him out before I suppress him,” Jihuang Demon Lord snorted coldly . Although Zhou Xuanji killed Huangquan Drake King, he was still not a threat to him . He had full confidence in destroying the Drake King after all .

However, he really felt a little fear within his heart .

Xian Xianghua and the Tianxia Map . Who would dare to charge at Skyfall boldly?

He was not like Nether Ghost, who had numerous lives .

And it was odd that Nether Ghost had died since he had many lives .

Something must be wrong!

“Fate Ox, in terms of divination, are you better than Daoya Old Man? ”

Jihuang Demon Lord asked suddenly . There was a diviner in almost every powerhouse .

They could only avoid disasters and develop in the long term when they have had a diviner .

“I’m better than him, of course, ” the old demon, who was addressed as Fate Ox, replied proudly .

In the demon race, he was the best in divination . He played a huge role in helping Jihuang Demon Lord become who he was today .

Or else, with Jihuang Demon Lord’s temperament, how could he have grown until now?

The Demon Lord would have died a long time ago if not for him!

This was also why Jihuang Demon Lord greatly favored him .

“This Sovereign heard that although a Qilin appeared at his birth, he had a short life . If not for Daoya Old Man, who had changed his fate, he would have died a long time ago . Now, no one can divine Zhou Xuanji’s fate . Say, what fate did Daoya Old Man change for him?” Jihuang Demon Lord asked casually .

The Tianxia Map and Celestial Devil Rebirth Technique were both at Skyfall!

He could not wait to destroy Skyfall .

Fate Ox was stunned and fell into deep thought .

He could not answer this question .

He knew how to change fates too . However, he could not do something like Daoya Old Man did to Zhou Xuanji’s .

Jihuang Demon Lord no longer spoke, and both of them stood in silence .

Sometime later .

A majestic dragon roar could be heard from Skyfall . Fenyu Dragon King joined the battle .

His participation changed the tide straightaway .

“Damn! Why isn’t Jihuang Demon Lord here yet?” The purple-robed man complained, gritting his teeth . Blood flowed on his face, which made him look somewhat miserable .

The other two Great Realization cultivators were in bad shape too . Both were badly injured .

Lin Changge and Ning Zifeng gasped for air as they stared at the purple-robed man fiercely .

The extremely dominating Fenyu Dragon King stood in between them . Searing lava flowed along his body, which frightened the cultivators so much that they avoided him .

“If you continue to fight on, this King will devour all of you!” Fenyu Dragon King roared furiously . His voice generated waves of powerful gales that shook the forest beneath like waves in a green ocean .

The cultivators were in a rage as well, but they did not dare to try the wrath of the Dragon King .

“Humph, this Sovereign really wants to see if you can eat them! ”

At this moment, Jihuang Demon Lord’s cold laughter came, which shook the heavens and the earth . It was even more domineering than Fenyu Dragon King’s .

He walked across the air, followed by Fate Ox .

Seeing that he was coming, Fenyu Dragon King’s expression changed drastically .

Lin Changge and Ning Zifeng’s eyelids were twitching wildly as well .

World’s second!

Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal!

Jihuang Demon Lord fixed his gaze at the peak of Skyfall and smiled mockingly . “Zhou Xuanji, you are not qualified to possess the Tianxia Map . If you are willing to hand over the Tianxia Map, this Sovereign can consider sparing your life!”

After that, he raised his right hand and press down .

Fenyu Dragon King could not even react in time and felt a formless mountain smash against him . The Dragon King fell straight down into the forest, sweeping up waves of billowing dust, and the earth shook violently .
