“What? There are other people hidden here?” Jian Chen was slightly surprised. His expression changed.
He had arrived at this asteroid field by following the Starflame Demon Lion. He had been gone for less than a single day. Were the people hidden here already here previously or did they only arrive here when he had returned to the Hall Brilliance Heaven?
Before Jian Chen could think too much about it, the Warring Old Freak had already arrived at a different location in the asteroid field with him. They stopped before a three hundred metre wide asteroid in the end.
Jian Chen studied the asteroid and did not notice anything special about it.
The Warring Old Freak said nothing. He simply stared at the asteroid emotionlessly. He only looked at it and did not do anything else.
At that instant, time seemed to freeze. After an entire minute, the Warring Old Freak finally showed signs of impatience. He let out a gentle pulse of his soul. “Are you still not coming out? If it weren’t for the concern of alarming the Starflame Demon Lion, I would have shattered this thing with a palm strike already.”
Perhaps due to the Warring Old Freak’s threats, a gate silently appeared on the ordinary asteroid. Inside stood an old daoist priest with a head full of white hair dressed in priest robes.
The old daoist priest’s presence was completely concealed. None of it leaked out, nor did he create any disturbances. Clearly, he was worried about alarming the Starflame Demon Lion.
The old daoist priest turned to the side slightly, making an inviting gesture to the Warring Old Freak.
The Warring Old Freak did not hesitate. He entered with Jian Chen, directly accessing the interior of the asteroid. He was fearless.
As soon as they entered the asteroid, it was as if they had entered a different world. The space inside was extremely large, at least a thousand kilometres across. Spiritual mountains towered over the land one after another, curling with mist. There were even birds that soared through the sky and sang clearly.
Fancy buildings stood among the mountains with brilliant decoration.
At first glance, it basically seemed like paradise, a land blessed with fortune.
If they looked up, they would notice that the situation outside was completely exposed to them. They could clearly see countless asteroids moving around according to certain patterns.
Even further away, between the cracks that would sometimes appear between the asteroids, they could even vaguely make out the Starflame Demon Lion’s colossal figure.
“This is a high quality god artifact! And one that possesses a concealing ability!” Jian Chen studied the surroundings and shuddered, finally recognising the true form of the asteroid.
“It has only barely made it into the ranks of high quality god artifacts. If I wanted to destroy it, it would just be a matter of two flicks of my hand.” The Warring Old Freak snorted coldly, clearly unhappy about this.
“Four Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts. This is quite a lineup.” The Warring Old Freak glanced at these people and let out a sigh of surprise.
Afterwards, the Master of Profound Secrets began to introduce them to the Warring Old Freak. The four Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts happened to be the Jade Lotus Master of Mount Penglai on the Jade’s End Heaven.
The Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt of the Heaven’s Thunder Tower on the Numerous Layer Heaven!
The Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt of the Blood Immortal sect on the Ease Nurturing Heaven!
And the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt of the Immortal Courtyard of Four Sages on the Scholarly Attainment Heaven!
The four Immortal Exalts all originated from different heavens. In particular, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt of the Blood Immortal sect was the greatest expert on the Ease Nurturing Heaven!
That was because on the entire Ease Nurturing Heaven, he was the only Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!
The other three were all supreme figures on their respective heavens!
Not every single one of the thirty-three heavens had late Immortal Exalts. Many heavens only had mid Immortal Exalts as their greatest expert.
“What are we compared to senior Warring?” The Jade Lotus Master from the Jade’s End Heaven smiled gently. She was the only female present. She seemed to be in her twenties, possessing natural beauty and a slender figure. She gave off the bearing of a bold and daring woman.
The Jade Lotus Master was the second greatest expert of the Jade’s End Heaven!
“Hahahaha, three million years ago, senior Warring fought a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime of the Saints’ World to a stalemate. You’re completely right, fellow Jade Lotus. Even if we combined our efforts, we might not be able to withstand a blow from senior Warring.” The Rushing Thunder Immortal Exalt of the Numerous Layer Heaven laughed.
That was what they said, but they did not show any sign of fear or reverence when they faced the Warring Old Freak.
That was because they were all peak experts who ruled over a region of their own. They possessed the heart of the strong.
“So many of you have gathered here. Don’t tell me you plan on dealing with the Starflame Demon Lion?” the Warring Old Freak said as he glanced past these people slowly.
“You’re right about that, senior Warring. I’m refining an ancient pill. Some of its primary materials are sourced from space beasts, the stronger the better. I just happened to know about a Starflame Demon Lion that was active in outer space, so I invited a few fellows. We plan on dealing with this Starflame Demon Lion together,” said the Master of Profound Secrets.
“Four Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts and a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt does form a very powerful group, but it’s nowhere near enough to deal with the Starflame Demon Lion.” The Warring Old Freak shook his head and said, “If it’s just the five of you, then I’d advise you to give up early, or it might not bode well.”
