Chapter 969: No Peace Among Humanity (1)

Ming He had died.

She was the third high-stage Sunmoon to die, perishing in the hands of her own student. Yet another seventh-stage Sunmoon death spirit appeared in the city.

But at this point, nobody cared anymore. One more or one less, what did it matter?

Long Dou had an unsightly expression as he stared at Ming He's corpse. The corpse was badly ravaged, completely opposite to the boundlessly elegant and ethereal immortal she was when she first arrived here.

She was dead. Even though she was the student of an Invincible. Even though she was a seventh-stage Sunmoon. She could not escape a miserable death.

"Damn it!" Na Dazhi cursed, "If she wanted to die, so be it. But she should have died to a death spirit instead! Damn it! Because of this, one more Sunmoon death spirit has appeared!"

The others either didn't care about the additional death spirit or lacked the courage to say something. That was not the case for him. He did not fear the immortal race.

Dao Cheng merely lowered his head and mourned in silence.

Na Dazhi was still furious, but he said nothing more. She was already dead. What was the point?

At that moment, a cloud appeared above Dao Cheng.

It was not as large as expected. If he had killed a seventh-stage Sunmoon through actual combat, the reward would have been much bigger. But Ming He was already severely weakened during her death, and she had volunteered her life to him. Thus, the reward for killing her wouldn't be too big.

Once again, Dao Cheng's strength grew. After killing Silver Armor, he was already near the Mountainsea Realm. And with this reward, he received the final push needed to step into the Mountainsea Realm.

Even after the advancement, his aura continued growing. He had received a large amount of willpower and some unknown energies from the clump of cloud. His apertures started fusing, and his sea of willpower enlarged.

Rumble!

A short while later, his sea of willpower shook, pushing him into the second stage. And after some time, he entered the third stage. He had digested the entirety of his heavenly reward to become a third-stage Mountainsea.

Long Dou merely shot them a glance and said nothing.

But after a moment, Na Dazhi lost his temper again, "Fool. Exchanging a seventh-stage Sunmoon to a third-stage Mountainsea with an unstable foundation. Every young genius out there is suppressing their advancement. What's the point of advancement?"

For him, a Mountainsea like this was not worthy of respect. Yes, heavenly rewards were great. But rapid advancement was not necessarily a good thing for these young geniuses.

With such rapid advancement, Dao Cheng would be forced to spend much more effort strengthening his foundation in the future. Furthermore, what even was the point of losing a seventh-stage Sunmoon for a third-stage Mountainsea? Would it improve their current situation?

A seventh-stage Sunmoon was an existence that could potentially achieve dao affirmation in the future. But a third-stage Mountainsea...could not provide any guarantees.

Dao Cheng remained silent.

Na Dazhi continued scolding, "That dumb woman has even picked the wrong timing to die. It hasn't even been that long since Su Yu injured her. The heavenly laws might even take Su Yu's contribution into consideration when assigning credits for her death. Her death might also produce a heavenly reward to Su Yu."

At that moment, an individual appeared outside. With his purple hair fluttering in the air, he strolled amid the thick death qi nonchalantly and said, "I'm here."

"..."

Everyone stared at him in disbelief. Mo Duona seemed to have grown even stronger than before. He was able to casually walk amid the death spirits, making it look like he was having an even easier time here than the Sunmoons.

While the Sunmoon death spirits were attacking the living Sunmoons, Mo Duona took the opportunity to shoot through the opening and enter the building.

Na Dazhi asked in stupefaction, "Are you a ninth-stage Cloudbreach Realm already?"

"Yes." Mo Duona nodded, "Greetings, Devil Lord Na Dazhi."

Na Dazhi said, "You're a ninth-stage Cloudbreach now...no, wait...are you now strong enough to fight Sunmoons?"

"No." Mo Duona said, "I can only guarantee an escape from an early Sunmoon. Sunmoons are still too strong."

But those words were enough to shock everyone. Guarantee an escape from early Sunmoons. He was only a Cloudbreach. This young genius was excessively talented. While everyone else was struggling to survive, he had probably been digesting his fortuitous encounter in an unknown building.

"Is Su Yu gone?" Mo Duona asked, "Is he fine?"

"..."

What?

Na Dazhi grumbled, "Yeah. He fled. He used a teleportation talisman."

Mo Duona nodded, "That is not surprising at all. Someone like him is very difficult to kill. This is how the world works. The more talented one is, the harder it will be for one to die. Gathering the fortune of heaven and earth, surviving a hundred battles, and achieving Invincibility. Such is the way of a genius."

After sending a Sunmoon death spirit flying with a punch, Na Dazhi questioned furiously, "I heard you went after him previously. Why didn't you kill him?"

With an indifferent smile, Mo Duona said, "Why should I? Previously, he was weaker than me. It was pointless for me to kill him. That wouldn’t be an achievement. That wouldn't challenge me. That wouldn't provide me with heavenly rewards. The act of killing itself is never a goal to chase after. The principles of the blood fire devils never have been compatible with mine. I don't kill to kill. I only have one goal. Dao affirmation. Become an expert even among Invincibles."

He would only kill Su Yu for the sake of strengthening himself. Nothing else. The act of killing was never his goal.

"Su Yu is a lot more ruthless than you."

Na Dazhi did not mind the retort. In fact, even as a seventh-stage Sunmoon, he did not view Mo Duona as a junior. Mo Duona only needed a little bit more growth and he would be as strong as a regular Sunmoon.

"Right now, you are probably incapable of defeating him anyway..." Na Dazhi stopped mid-sentence and laughed it off, "No, that might not be the case. He is out of Ye Batian's characters. He won't be a match for you without those characters."

Mo Duona cared little about that. He looked at the others and said, "It is true that we need the help of Invincibles if we want to leave. But all of you know this. Many years ago, some Invincibles attempted to attack an ancient city. During that incident, at least one Invincible perished..."

After a short pause, he continued, "We need at least five Invincibles working together. They need to break into the city in a single instant, grab us, and leave. Not a single delay is allowed. Otherwise, the ancient city might unleash an unparalleled expert upon us. At that time, all of us will die."

At least five Invincibles. That was his conclusion.
