Chapter 210 - 208: Who Are You?

Chapter 210 - 208: Who Are You?

The new arrivals instigated an outpour of cheers, exclamations, and heated discussion amongst the crowd. Wei Wuyin felt his body visibly shake from the sheer soundwaves produced by the crowd. It was quite infectious, stimulating his heart to feel tingling excitement. Was this how it felt to be a part of the greater crowd? This feeling was fairly novel, even slightly addictive.

"They’re riding the Shadow-Bright Hawk! How incredible! I heard it was invincible beneath the Astral Core Realm amongst beasts; furthermore, it’s very close to evolving and becoming a Star Beast!"

"I heard the An Clan had already lost twenty-percent of their territory! Now, they’re fighting to reclaim what they lost, forced to wager fifty-percent more! If they lose this match, wouldn’t they enter a period of decline?"

"I wonder if An Biru will arrive! As one of the top ten beauties of the Blood Titan City, I truly want to see if her looks make the cut!"

The conversations were diverse, speaking about all sorts of topics that livened the atmosphere. Wei Wuyin lifted his eyes and saw the dark-colored hawk with silver stripes on its wings. Its wingspan wasn’t much, merely forty meters. However, upon its broad back was nearly a hundred people.

These were all the experts and upper-echelon of the An Clan’s, and the fact that they arrived alongside the An Clan’s patriarch had instigated an even greater uproar. This was clearly a desperate showing of strength, as if trying to warn the Chen Clan not to take things too far.

Shaking his head within his heart, Wei Wuyin decided to handle this matter and determine his next set of actions. With a swipe of his fingers across his face, a black mask appeared. It was featureless without lips, nose, or eyes. It was marked with a single character at its top that read: ’Ascendant’.

He hid away his identity for a bit, and it wasn’t just for the sake of remaining incognito. It was because those knowledgeable would definitely recognize him if he arrived in person and exposed him. After all, all it took is one person and one speculation. If that happened, how could he participate in this clash? In fact, the result would be constant fawning.R/ê/Ad lateSt ch/a/pters at novelhall.com Only

He was a Heavenly King and an Alchemic King, so how could that not happen within the society of a continent? It would happen even in the sect where experts gathered en masse. To avoid that, he had no issue concealing his identity.

With that, he slowly weaved through the crowd.

The Shadow-Bright Hawk landed on an opening, causing surging winds and piercing cry to sweep the surroundings. The An Clan patriarch stepped off first, allowing his body to gain the most attention. With a brief exertion of his aura, he awed the crowd.

A true Astral Core Realm cultivator!

The other members followed along and left the back of the hawk, trailing behind the powerful and confident steps of An Ge, their patriarch! They walked onto the stage, immediately becoming center stage of the event. Their auras quietly roiled about, releasing an innate prestige and sensation of high-born. While some couldn’t help but feel a sense of oppression and reverence for the strong, others sneered in their hearts at this fraudulently confident showing.

All because he wanted to spend a night with Chen Xiaowei, he bet a mine at first. It seemed harmless, right? It was merely a minor mine, and if he lost, so what? If we won? Would he not be rewarded with dual cultivating with a fellow Astral Core Realm expert and a beauty at that? They were exceptionally rare as is. But his innate desire and manly pride led to consecutive losses.

Boom!

His aura erupted! The astral force within him was stimulated as surged his pressure towards Chen Xiaowei. However, she similarly released her aura that wasn’t the slightest bit weaker as they ferociously smashed against each other causing the wind to become chaos, the clouds to churn, and the ground to quake!

This was Astral Core Realm experts!

The entire crowd below stifled, as if they were caught up in an explosive shockwave, and their lungs could barely gasp for air. It was horrific, fear entering the eyes of everyone present!

Due to the scarcity of Astral Core Realm experts, very few knew of their innate power, and this was especially so for the majority of the crowd. They controlled astral force! A single strand could obliterate an entire mountain! It wasn’t an exaggeration, and this was the weakest strand at that. A true fight would devastate a fragile landmass like a continent.

"Enough!" A voice descended, causing the world to quake and the forceful pressure generated by their clash to be negated by a worldly pressure! This was a Sky Ruler Phase expert! With a mere utterance of a word, both of their auras were rendered nullified.

Chen Xiaowei and An Ge’s expressions changed as they felt the oppressive worldly force circulate around them threateningly. They ceased their clash, bringing an end to a nearly catastrophic event.

Shockingly, this person wasn’t even here.

Wei Wuyin lifted his eyes to the sky. This voice belonged to the guardian of the Bloodforge Continent. To prevent Astral Core Realm experts from needlessly slaughtering or causing immense destruction, they assigned a Third Stage Astral Core Realm expert to monitor to situation.

It was true that those at this level could cause irreparable or total destruction to the continent, but their Soul Idol meant their spiritual sense was powerful enough to observe the entire continent passively.

Of course, this guardian was already on his payroll.

He finally arrived near the stage and climbed up onto it via the stairs. When he arrived, countless gazes shifted to him as he stood out wearing a black mask with no face. Besides the ’Ascendant’ character, there was no other indication of his identity.

Chen Xiaowei and An Ge glanced over and simultaneously asked, "Who are you?" They glanced at each other and then turned back to Wei Wuyin. They couldn’t sense his cultivation level, but their instincts told them he was incredibly dangerous. Furthermore, that mask seemed to be created from solidified spiritual force that blocked all their perceptions.

Wei Wuyin didn’t disguise his voice, "I’m here to participate in the All-Alchemic Clash. Shall we begin?"
