Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 1174: Center of Attention

After the North Region Dao Meet ended, the cultivation world of the North Region did not calm down at all.

Desolate Martial challenged Dao Being Xuan Yu to a duel in the old capital of Yan Country on the 5th of April!

Xuan Yu accepted the challenge!

Before the battle even began, it was already the center of attention with a huge commotion.

Firstly, both parties involved in the fight were extremely special.

One of them was Dao Being Desolate Martial, known as the number one monster incarnate in history.

The other was a Glass Palace cultivator, Dao Lord Xuan Yu!

Both of them were famous.

More importantly, this was a battle that had a major cultivation realm gap!

This battle would definitely be a life and death battle as well since neither side could afford to lose!

For a period of time, the North Region was in turmoil and countless sects and factions were paying attention to the battle, setting things into motion from behind the scenes.

At the beginning of April, cultivators lingered around the old capital of Yan Country.

All the cultivators wanted to witness this unprecedented battle personally!

"I heard that the feud between Desolate Martial and Xuan Yu was established more than a hundred years ago."

"That's right. This place was originally flourishing and prosperous. It was because of Xuan Yu's orders that this capital was reduced to ruins!"

Some cultivators stood on the ruins of the old capital and discussed the matter.

"Who do you guys think will win this battle?"

"It'll definitely be Dao Lord Xuan Yu!"

A cultivator analyzed, "If it was an ordinary Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord, Desolate Martial would definitely have a high chance of winning. However, I heard that Dao Lord Xuan Yu is extremely strong and is ranked second among the Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords of Glass Palace, second only to Dao Lord Glass!"

Dao Lord Glass was the titular disciple of Glass Palace.

The reason why he was conferred the title of Dao Lord Glass was also because Su Zimo killed this generation's titular disciple of Glass Palace back in the Dao Inheritance Ground!

"More than a hundred years ago, Xuan Yu was only a Void Reversion. Now that he's already at the Dharma Characteristic realm, he's not someone easy to deal with. I believe that Dao Lord Xuan Yu will win as well!"

"Not necessarily."

Another cultivator shook his head. "I heard that many Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords died in the hands of Desolate Martial at the North Region Dao Meet."

Over the past few days, the topic of discussion was the outcome of the battle.

"Look, the Glass Palace cultivators have appeared again!"

A cultivator pointed to the skies not far away and said.

For the past few days, Glass Palace cultivators would descend to the vicinity of the old capital of Yan Country almost every day to check things out.

"They're worried that Desolate Martial might set up a trap in the ruins,"

A cultivator shook his head and pursed his lips. "Glass Palace is being too petty. Since Desolate Martial set up the challenge openly, why would he do something like that?"

As time passed, more and more cultivators gathered.

Even the sect masters of the various upper sects and aristocratic families were here personally to watch the battle. The commotion was shocking and spectacular!

The Empress of Great Zhou, Ji Yaoxue, led an army over personally.

The old immortal crane of Ethereal Peak led her disciples to spectate as well.

At the same time.

Outside the old capital of Yan Country, a woman arrived. She had black hair like a waterfall and wore snow-white clothes. She was extremely beautiful with icy skin and jade bones. Her eyes were bright and charming and could be said to be devastatingly beautiful.

The white-robed woman looked at the ruins in silence.

Suddenly, a furry head popped out of the woman's embrace with a pair of tiny paws. Rubbing her drowsy eyes, she asked in a daze, "Are we here?"

"Yes,"

The white-robed woman replied.

The little beast seemed to be invigorated as it popped its head out and looked in the direction of the old capital of Yan Country - it was a fiery red Little Fox.

"Goddess True Jade, wasn't I right? Young master hasn't forgotten about me. He's doing this to take revenge for me!"

The Little Fox said smugly.

"There's nothing praiseworthy about dragging it on for more than a hundred years!"

The white-robed woman replied with a hint of disdain.

Little Fox frowned slightly and argued, "This is already amazing of young master. He's a major cultivation realm away from Dao Lord Xuan Yu!"

"Goddess True Jade, you seem to have some prejudice against young master?"

"He…"

The white-robed woman recalled the scene in the depths of the cave and felt flustered. Her cheeks flushed as she grit her teeth and did not continue.

"No matter what, Goddess True Jade, I've won this bet!"

Little Fox replied happily, "Young master has never forgotten about me and will definitely protect me. Don't worry."

The white-robed woman had a calm expression. "We'll talk about it after he wins this battle. A Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord of Glass Palace isn't going to be so easy to deal with."

"If he loses, it'll mean that I was right. That person doesn't have the ability to protect you and you'll have to follow me from now on."

…

In the palace of the old capital of Yan Country.

It was a day away from the 5th of April.

Su Zimo was still cultivating in a dilapidated palace.

He had been isolated from the outside world for the past few days and his cultivation realm had not changed.

However, he was in no hurry.

The more anxious one was, the more likely they would fall into a quagmire of cultivation and be unable to extricate themselves!

Nian Qi stood at the entrance, guarding it day and night.

Monkey and the others had arrived a few days ago as well.

Among them, there was a child wearing a white jacket. His eyes were black and he was extremely intelligent.

Monkey and the others knew that Su Zimo was at a critical juncture of his cultivation breakthrough and did not barge in recklessly, waiting outside.

The night before the final battle.

Suddenly, two beams of light shone within the pitch-black palace!

Those were Su Zimo's eyes!

His aura rose continuously.

Endless Dharmic powers surged into his body, forming vortexes that connected heaven and earth!

After a long time, the trend gradually slowed down and stopped.

He had broken through!

Perfected Void Reversion realm!

Su Zimo could clearly sense that his Essence Spirit had truly turned whole and full at that moment. There were no flaws at all on his body!

Suddenly, an epiphany struck him.

He seemed to have understood something and closed his eyes in deep thought.

He only reopened his eyes once again at daybreak. When he tried to comprehend about the epiphany of the previous night, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Sensing that Su Zimo was fine, monkey and the others no longer waited and entered the palace.

"You guys are back."

Su Zimo swept his gaze across monkey and the others and smiled.

All of a sudden!

His gaze paused and landed on a boy among monkey and the others.

The boy looked at him as well.

Although the boy was trying his best to control himself, Su Zimo could see the excitement and joy in his eyes!

The boy looked unfamiliar.

Su Zimo could guarantee that he had never seen the boy before.

However, for some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity from the boy.

He looked at the boy's pitch-black and intelligent eyes and shuddered as though he had suddenly thought of something!

He finally knew where the sense of familiarity from the boy came from.

That pair of eyes and that gaze were almost identical to Zhui Feng who had accompanied him through his growth!

At the same time, Su Zimo caught sight of the boy's true form.

Instantly, he understood many things.
