Chapter 346 Clash Of Elders



The aftershocks faded as the scenery within finally began to appear.

The first thing to land in their eyes was Ezra Zephyr standing on a corner that remained of the stone stage. The spiritual energy around him was clearly much weaker than before, obviously because he finished his attack.

Facing him some distance away was the well-built black tower-like body of Kimba. He was still in a punching posture, while the 1000 feet 8th dragon was nowhere to be seen.

"Ezra's 8th dragon has been destroyed?!" The sight of this immediately caused cries of astonishment to erupt in the surrounding cliffs.

Elder Song's disciples were unable to stop themselves from bursting into cheers.

In spite of the cheering, there was no change in Ezra's eyes as he stared at Kimba's figure and slowly said, "You still have a ways to go if you wish to teach me."

The instant these words were said, Kimba's body suddenly shuddered as he violently spat out a mouthful of black blood. His giant body rapidly began to shrink, returning to its normal state, before slowly falling back first to the ground.

There was an unresigned look in his eyes. If Elder Song had given him the complete Don Dark Devil technique, then he could have withstood the 9th dragon.

~THUD~

The cheers that filled the air came to an abrupt stop as if someone had pinched all their throats.

The joyous expressions on Elder Song's disciples instantly froze an extremely comical sight.

Denise's tightly clenched fists slowly loosened at this moment, her face turning deathly pale as the spark of life seemed to leave her eyes. She had originally come here to vent her frustrations. Who could have imagined that instead of venting them, she would instead personally witness Ezra soar into the skies.

The unbearable feeling in her heart almost made her vomit a mouthful of blood.

Aily breathed out forcefully as her bosom faintly heaved. Although the expression on her face could be considered calm, a storm of emotions was raging in her heart.

This outcome had obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

No one had imagined that the prince, whom they had thought the brainless arrogant guy at the beginning, would accomplish such an amazing feat, single-handedly bringing about a complete reversal of a situation on the verge of collapse.

In the face of such a scene, even Aily, who felt Ezra was an eyesore due to Sith Wiggins, could not help but sigh in amazement inside.

In contrast to the deathly silent atmosphere on Elder Song's side, after a few breaths of silence, it finally clicked to Elder Lo's disciples that the unbelievable scene in front of their eyes was indeed reality. In the next instant, deafening cheers exploded from them.

In the stone pavilion, an inconcealable look of joy emerged on Elder Lo's usually stern, aged face.

Ezra merely chuckled softly as he listened to the seemingly endless cheers. After today's battle, there should no longer be anyone who would object to him owning that diamond quarter.

However, just as he was breathing a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, boundless spiritual energy exploded in the sky.

Elder Song's stone pavilion instantly shattered around him.

Elder Song's expression was like a raging storm, seething anger in the depths of his eyes as they locked onto the prince. A terrifying pressure swept towards him, crushing him like a towering mountain, causing his spiritual energy to turn extremely sluggish and nearly forcing him to his knees.

Seeing Ezra Zephyr reverse the situation made Elder Song lose control of his emotions.

Ezra's expression changed as he gritted his teeth, stubbornly resisting the frightening pressure.

While the prince tenaciously resisted, in another stone pavilion, Elder Lo's expression turned extremely ugly as he abruptly stood up. Dreadful spiritual energy immediately exploded, turning into an enormous spiritual energy hand that seemed to cover the entire sky as it ruthlessly swatted down at Elder Song's location.

"You old treacherous bastard, how dare you?!"

Elser Song's furious roar thundered across the area.

A giant hand seemed to blot out the sun as it descended, its shadow engulfing the entire mountain. The spiritual energy in the area instantly began to boil and bubble as if the entire place was about to be torn apart.

Countless disciples turned white with terror, trembling uncontrollably as fear flooded their eyes.

The earlier duel between Ezra and Kimba was akin to a squabble between children in comparison!

"Wait... Lo!" As the giant hand fell, Elser Song was also startled. With a roar, spiritual energy akin to the endless ocean dashed up into the sky, transforming into a titanic dome that blocked the giant hand.

~BHAAM~

A loud noise akin to thunder continuously rumbled across the area. Although they had come to blows, Elder Lo and Elder Song had still restrained themselves, not daring to let the aftershocks spread such as to prevent injuring any of the disciples. Thus, though the noise was loud, the aftershocks had been suppressed to an extremely tiny area.

~BOOM~

The remains of Elder Song's stone pavilion instantly turned to dust.

The disciples in the vicinity of the pavilion were so terrified that their legs turned to jelly. Even the outstanding Ezra's face was twitching violently, anger and apprisal flashing in his eyes.

If the aftershocks from earlier had managed to spread just a tiny bit more, all of the disciples here would have the same fate as the stone pavilion.

"Are you crazy Lo?!" Elder Song's face was livid as he roared at Elder Lo. He never imagined that the latter would actually dare to attack him in front of so many people.

If the disciples were killed or gravely injured, both of them would surely be heavily punished by the sect.

At the thought of such a possibility, cold sweat appeared on Elder Song's forehead, as white hot rage flowed within him.

Elder Lo's aged face was covered in frost. He stared right back at Elder Song and said in a chilling voice, "Song, are you intending to throw away even your last shred of dignity? What is a loss in the battle between the younger generation, to think that you had the gall to oppress my disciple right before my eyes!"

Elder Song's face twitched. "Don't spout nonsense, my emotions were merely a little unstable earlier, causing me to lose some control over my spiritual energy."

There was no way he could admit that in his anger, he had attempted to use pressure to force Ezra to his knees earlier.

Elder Lo chuckled icily as he mocked, "Sore loser if you want to fight, I can accompany you till the end of one of us!"

Being ridiculed in front of so many disciples made Elder Song's expression turn somewhat ugly as his expression darkened. "Do you think that I'm afraid of a failure alchemist like you? I'm also interested to find out what you can possibly amount to after wasting the sect's resources on concocting shitty pills for so many years!"

"Try me!" Elderk took a step forward as torrential spiritual energy poured out, practically engulfing half of the horizon. Under his spiritual energy pressure, it felt as if the entire world around them was trembling.

"Then I will!" Elder Song laughed in anger as he also took a step forward.

Two seas of spiritual energy immediately filled the area, relentlessly crashing into each other, causing the giant mountains in the area to tremble violently as if on the verge of collapse.

The numerous disciples in the vicinity turned white with fear. The aftershocks alone from a fight of this level were not something they would survive.

"Stop!" Elder Rilda finally arrived, her expression changed as she hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Don't be rash both of you. If the disciples are hurt, the Supreme Leader and the peak masters will not let either of you off."

Her figure moved and appeared between the two elders. With a wave of her sleeve, boundless energy swept out, breaking up their clashing spiritual energy. Fortunately, Elder Rilda was not too far and when she felt the terrifying spiritual energy, she knew that these waves of spiritual energy do not belong to an outer mountain disciple and flew like a released arrow.

Elder Lo and Elder Song viciously glared at each other, but ultimately did not lose all rationality and withdrew their energy. Only then did the terrifying pressure gradually fade away.

Both of them understood that if they really ended up fighting, Peak Master would surely get involved. Neither of them would benefit when that happened.

As the dreadful pressure faded from the mountain, Ezra's tense body was finally able to relax. He breathed a deep sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, his brow covered in cold sweat.

The spiritual energy pressure from earlier had made him see the meaning of terror. A single thought from either elder was likely all it would take to wipe him off the face of this world.

Ezra's eyes blazed with passion as he mumbled to himself, "It's said that the first condition to become an elder of the Spirit Devouring Mountain's outer mountains is to reach the Foundation Establishment stage..."

After the Core Formation stage, As the core developed, a foetus akin to a foundation star would emerge in the core. Thus, the stage after the Core Formation stage was known as the Foundation Establishment.

As the foetus grew, source energy would be born from it. Therefore, the next stage was called the Nascent stage.n))OvelbIn

After the Nascent stage, the Martial Spirit and body would begin to merge. Thus, the stage is called the Spirit Transformation stage.

Foundation Establishment, Nascent, Spirit Transformation and Ascension.

These were the four greater stages after the Core Formation stage.

It was clear that the two elders Elder Lo and Elder Song were experts in the peak Foundation Establishment stage. While Elder Rilda was at the early stage of Nascent Stage. Even in the entire Naran Continent, they were existence could intimidate an entire region.
