Atop the huge city gate that was wreathed in ancient aura, 100 puppets held over a thousand cultivators and local Demonic Beasts at bay. Before them was an ancient tablet shining with a glossy light.
At this time, Wang Wuyou was approaching the ancient tablet, and the latter was close enough for him to touch. Behind him, a dragon that only existed in western fantasy stories lunged over, its entire body formed with blazing flames and radiating an intense heat!
Everybody else looked on quietly, but deep down, they were secretly readying their strengths. If this ancient tablet was really some kind of rare treasure, they would not hesitate to try and steal it!
“Reckless fool.” Bei Feng shook his head and muttered coldly.
There were too many people that were being blinded by greed in that moment, and Wang Wuyou had hidden his strength too well. How could someone that did not fear the crowd and directly stood out to take action first be simple? A person like that had to either be insufferably arrogant or have the strength to back him up. But such confidence was also built on personal strength.
Many people had died due to them overestimating their own strength, but there was no need to doubt Wang Wuyou’s ability.
Without too much motion, Wang Wuyou turned around and regarded the fire dragon that was lunging at him with a calm gaze.
The intense flames cast a deep red light on Wang Wuyou’s pale face. In that moment, a smile appeared on Cliff Sanders’s face.
Cliff Sanders was one of the strongest New Humans in America, and his strength could be ranked in the top three in the country. Even on the world ranking list, he managed to rank ninth!
He was formidable giant in the martial world, and even middle stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts could not exchange more than one blow with him.
“Extinguish!”
Wang Wuyou looked steadily at the fire dragon that was roaring towards him and pointed out with a pale finger.
Soundless and stirless, the fire dragon emanating a menacing aura and capable of killing middle stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts effortlessly suddenly shivered and directly burst apart, turning into flaming sparks which scattered into the air and disappeared.
“Gulp.”
Everyone unconciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva collectively. Such strength was too horrifying, giving one no chance to see how the other party had acted!
‘F*ck, I’ve kicked my foot against a metal plate…’
Seeing Wang Wuyou turning his gaze on him, cold sweat cascaded down his neck and drenched his shirt. In an instant, Cliff Sanders felt as if he’d fallen from his position as a god to a criminal awaiting judgement.
“Outer races, looks like I haven’t killed enough of you guys back then…”
A light smile appeared on Wang Wuyou’s face as a dark red light shone in his pupils.
“Wait…”
“Innate power, scales!”
Without giving Cliff Sanders the chance to say anything, Wang Wuyou’s aura directly burst outwards. A pair of dragon wings grew out of his back, each one over three zhang wide. At the same time, a terrifying pressure covered the entire area, causing everyone to find even breathing laborious!
“What kind of person is that!?”
“Those wings are not a martial technique! They’re real wings!”
“Where did this person come from? His cultivation is so high, could he be a Transcendent realm expert?!”
The crowd were all discussing fervently, with their hearts in trepidation. Wang Wuyou was clearly just a single person, but everyone felt like they were completely helpless before him. ( Updated by BOX NOVEL.COM)
In the eyes of the crowd, Wang Wuyou’s not tall figure had grown massively, and they even had to crane their necks to look upon his face.
Of course, Wang Wuyou’s figure had not grown at all; this was actually an effect of his aura. The crowd only felt like they were looking upon a tall mountain and naturally had to lower their heads.
“So that’s the battle prowess of one in the Transcendent realm?” Bei Feng muttered to himself.
The Transcendent realm was really a large qualitative difference in level. It was far from what the Controlled Dan or even the Void Gu realm could rival!
When Wang Wuyou’s aura burst out, every living creature in the faraway three other gates immediately turned their eyes and looked over, as if they could see him.
On one side, there was a drought demon completely crimson in color, with a layer of red mist surrounding it. This creature was something that was similar to a zombie, being reborn after its living body died and was incubated in a special environment.
As the saying went, the birth of a drought zombie brought with it devastation and barren land of a thousand li. The strength of such a creature was terrifying beyond compare, and they were born with natural control over fire!
From the other gate, there was a water ape with green eyes that shimmered like water. It, too, turned and looked in Wang Wuyou’s direction.
The Vatican’s group was on the third gate. At this time, the incomparably ancient-looking Pope was standing silently. He looked so old and frail as if he might breathe his last at any moment. Nobody had seen him fight personally before, but in the instant that Wang Wuyou’s aura burst out, a chanting sound suddenly rang out from around his body. A holy white light shone around him, and feathers of light even fluttered down from the sky!
“How strong, that person had just come out from his incubation and can already display such terrifying strength! Who would have thought that just his aura alone would cause us to feel like we’d been stuck in a mud river.”
The over 20 cultivators from China who happened to be at the scene all gasped as their hearts shivered lightly. At the same time, they were cursing at the government politicians for trying to send them to contact Wang Wuyou when he first came out. For a savage character like that, it would already be a great mercy if he did not come to find them first!
As his heaven-shocking aura surged out, the pair of draconic wings on his back shone with a dark light. The thumb-sized scales on the wings began to drop off one by one as well!
Following that, the wings suddenly vanished and morphed into a black light that blasted out in all directions!
The thumb-sized scales carried a terrifying aura and sharpness as they shot towards everybody.
The scales were simply moving too fast, to a point where they seemed like they had teleported, appearing before crowd in an instant!
The numerous experts immediately used all kinds of techniques as they defended in a frenzy. At the same time, they were extremely furious in their hearts. This Wang Wuyou fellow was simply too arrogant, actually wanting to use the strength of one person to go up against several hundred Controlled Dan experts!
They were determined to kill this person as soon as they finished blocking this strike! They were sure that the rage of several hundred Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts along with their trump card treasures were enough to make sure that this person would die without a doubt!
The 20-something experts from China had also raised their defenses, but they found out that not a single scale was flying towards them at all. The same went for the several hundred Demonic Beasts nearby.
“Pu! Pu!”
“Unresigned! I’m unresigned to this!”
“We were wrong, please let us off!”
“AH!”
Just as everyone was feeling unsure of what was happening, numerous wretched cries rang out all over the place, drawing the gazes of the crowd.
Looking over, the bodies of several hundred foreign cultivators were covered in numerous scales. The scales had easily torn through their Lingqi barriers and left tens of holes in their bodies!
Faint black mist lingered around every wound, greatly amplifying the pain felt by those wounded. Even the will and spirit of Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts was not capable of enduring such torment!
“Innate power, pillage!”
Wang Wuyou looked at the suffering bunch of people expressionlessly as he raised his hand. In an instant, the scales on their bodies suddenly began to suck in their energy, as though they’d turned into an energy sponge!
10 breaths later, the thousands of dark-red scales returned to Wang Wuyou and reformed into his wings.
Wang Wuyou did not even look at the people before him as he breathed in deeply with a light smile on his face. His pale face had become somewhat rosier and the dark golden patterns on his draconic wings became more pronounced, like a divine rune.
At this time, the several hundred cultivators had all become dried corpses, lying on the ground as if they’d been dead for a long time!
The only survivors out of the entire group were the over 20 Chinese cultivators, as well as about a dozen other Asians.
Apart from them, the few hundred Demonic Beasts in the area had also been spared. Perhaps in Wang Wuyou’s eyes, skin color was the only criteria he based his actions on. There were even some Asians with darker skin color who had died. Those unlucky souls had been beyond his consideration.
The few that’d survived were all scared out of their wits. This person was simply too powerful! Several hundred Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts had all died just like that, without any chance to retaliate. The Demonic Beasts had also all been frightened mute like a bunch of cicadas in winter. Their huge bodies did not even twitch as they controlled themselves to stay completely still. Their eyes were filled with fear and terror and when they looked at Wang Wuyou.
Ignoring the frightful gazes, Wang Wuyou stretched out his hand and placed it lightly on the ancient tablet. In that moment, numerous patterns appeared on the tablet!
A diagram similar to a measuring scale appeared on the stone tablet; at this time, the sections of the scale began to light up, finally stopping at four lights.
Finally, Wang Wuyou retracted his hand and walked towards the city gate with large strides. Then, he directly stepped past the gate and disappeared.
“So that’s the case! The stone tablet is the key to entering the city?”
Seeing Wang Wuyou walk into the city unobstructed, everyone became excited as they also followed suit and placed their hands on the stone tablet.
Most people only managed to light up two sections of the scale, and the brightness was also different.
“This thing is not that simple. Everybody people disappeared as soon as they went in, so there might be a chance that we’ll be seperated later on. Everyone, take care of your own safety.”
Bei Feng analyzed after watching the entire event carefully. There was definitely some kind of formation on the city gate; and the only question was whether it was a fixed-location shifting formation or a teleportation formation. It might even be a concealment formation.
Bai Xiang also nodded his head as he watched people disappearing into the city.
A moment later, he walked towards the stone tablet as well. Wang Wuyou had caused four sections of the scale to light up, while everybody else only managed to make two light up. In that case, each section should be representative of a major cultivation realm. Wang Wuyou was in the Transcendent realm, so two sections should refer to the Controlled Dan realm. The brightness of the light corresponded to the level that one had reached in the cultivation realm. For example, comparing a primary stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert to a middle stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert, the middle stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert’s light would shine brighter.
Logically, if one wanted to count according to the cultivation realms, the Light Jing realm, Dark Jing realm, Evolved Jing realm, Xiantian, Controlled Dan, Void Gu, and Transcendent realm, Wang Wuyou should have belonged on the seventh section and the Controlled Dan realm should have lit up five sections instead of Wang Wuyou’s four sections and everyone else’s two sections.
For this part, it was recorded in the ancient scriptures that in the past, only Xiantian cultivators were considered to have stepped into the path of cultivation. The realms before that were all foundational levels, and people in those realms were not counted as proper cultivators yet.
Bei Feng sighed lightly at this thought. Just how glamorous was the martial world in the ancient times? But with just a few short years’ time, it’d declined to such a state.
The moment his hand touched the stone tablet, he felt a faint energy appear in his body and swim throughout it. Although the energy was very weak, its quality was high to an incredibly shocking level. At this time, Bei Femg felt like the energy was scanning his body.
In a short time, the faint energy disappeared, and a result was displayed on the stone tablet. He had also only lit up two sections of the scale; the luster of his light was a little dim, similar to a primary level Controlled Dan stage, closing onto the middle stage Controlled Dan.
“Even if my blood and Qi energy is comparable to a peak level Controlled Dan Heavenly cultivator’s, it’s still at the primary stage of Controlled Dan. So it still counted me as being in the primary stage Controlled Dan realm?” Bei Feng mumbled with interest as he stood aside, waiting for Bai Xiang and the rest to enter the city together.
