After easily dealing with the four Sky realm warriors, Leylin looked at the Third Sky of Sky Realm warriors in the small lake, with an amused expression.
Leylin could see that all of top class warriors seem to be wary of him and even have some nefarious ideas. Leylin obviously didn’t care because not even all of them combined together is enough to scratch the surface of his immense powers.
The warriors in the small lake quietly watched him and realized the look in his eyes. Leylin’s eyes didn’t show any fear, but a trace of arrogance and confidence.
These warriors slightly knitted their eyebrows. Compared to Leylin who was only in the first sky of Sky Realm, they were two levels higher. However, it seems in the fight with them, Leylin would not be scared now just because of their higher realm. Remembering his terrifying pale tornado that razed around leaving behind trails of flesh and blood as well his extremely dangerous and fearsome show of strength, he couldn’t help but be guarded not daring to offend Leylin.
“Four people are dead. We would be taking their place, I hope no one has any problem.” Leylin turned around towards Ben’s direction, spoke, and moved to the empty position.
“Let’s get in.”
If Leylin wants and acts seriously he can obviously kill everyone here but he wasn’t too bored to go around killing mindlessly.
Not to mention he also needs to consider the consequences that the Neelam’s group would face. Although he’s confident he can defeat everyone it’s hard to say if he can protect the three behind him during a free for all bloodbath.
Most of the people here are from the seven great ancient forces from the Divine Land, there is no need to question their competence and ability. They definitely are cream of the crop compared to Endless Sea warriors with various mystical and unseen martial arts.
They would surely also possess many different types of secret treasure under their wraps, and who knows what those things can do. There is even a chance that they have a way to relay information regarding themselves to their respective faction, in case of such an event Leylin would become the target of innumerable fearsome foes.
Hence, considering all of the what if and uncertainty of the situation Leylin decided to act when necessary and not without discretion, it’s not like their death would be very beneficial for him either.
Leylin already possess enough Profound Qi needed for advancement, he just lacks the understanding of the realm to step through to the next sky.
Also the sentient force gained from these warriors although not bad is not very must have either. With the progression in his realm, the demand and sheer quantity of sentient force needed to make a difference for Leylin have greatly changed, normal and average warriors don’t even come close to fulfilling his needs.
Currently the quality and amount granted by the Sky realm warriors is a bit too lacking to make much of a difference, for the current him only Spirit realm warriors can quench his thirst.
From the crowd, Neelam and other two came and joined Leylin inside the safe area. Ben and Ian didn’t have any chance to help Leylin during the last fight, they just stared at Leylin when he had calmly and easily killed all those sky realm warriors like chickens.
Many warriors were surrounding them and had observed the battle.
Hearing Leylin, Neelam gently smiled while her eyes were full of aura, displaying an amazing spirit. “How did you become so strong?”
Leylin shook his head and said, “It is just because those guys were rather weak and were caught off guard that I defeated them so easily.”
While talking, Leylin with Neelam and others stepped into the small lake.
Beside the lake, many warriors were silently watching them. They saw the channel revealing but didn’t dare to enter first, and could only helplessly watch Leylin, together with Neelam’s group, walk into it. They even actively gave him the way because they were afraid of accidentally making him misunderstand their motives.
Leylin took them to enter the lake while hauling out some Demon Crystals, giving them to her and saying with a smile, “Take it.”
He knew that the three people of Neelam’s group hadn’t restored their Profound Qi yet. Since they had left the stone fortress and come here, their body strength was not at their peak states.
Sure enough, when Neelam received those Demon Crystals, her eyes suddenly lit up while she exclaimed in shock, “So many Demon Crystals!”
“Thank you. You are really loyal… You don’t forget your old friends.” Neelam threw a glance at him while her small face was beaming with a beautiful smile. “Since you left the Merchant Union, we didn’t hear any news from you and even thought that you have already forgotten us. Hmm, grandfather Eren was still asking us if we had any news from you. In fact, I thought that you were ungrateful. Well, I forgive you now.”
Neelam oddly seemed to resent him a little bit. She took this opportunity to pour out everything that was on her mind.
Leylin didn’t mince her words and just continued smiling.
After having entered the Endless Sea, he had rarely thought about the Merchant Union and the Berkan family.
After having come to this Grace Mainland, he had experienced a lot of things, and met a lot of people.
Leylin knows that he didn’t come here to make friends, he came with a definite goal in his mind, although he might make some acquaintance along the way and even slightly help others but his ambition would always be his first priority.
Leylin then began to chat with Neelam and others while chilling in the corner of the lake, not caring about the commotion outside.
At the edge of the lake, there were many teams of warriors remaining. Confirming Leylin’s strength and his ability, they then turned their attention to other groups.
As soon as they got into the lake, Leylin sat cross legged with a confident and arrogant smile around the corner of his mouth.
If any warrior wanted to target his group, they had to face him first.
Leylin was indeed a huge deterrent force that prevented the warriors from making them fearless, and thus stopping them from considering his group as their target.
The beasts outside the ancient city rushed into the lake’s area. The warriors who were still outside the lake saw the beasts coming, and knew that the situation now was critical. They didn’t wait any longer and dashed towards the teams of warriors in the lake to launch their final attacks.
Instantly, all kinds of secret treasures went rampant over the lake. Dazzling lights interweaved and formed a network of various violent bursting tyrannical energy fluctuations.
Seeing Leylin’s group settled in the lake, the three most powerful teams in the center of the lake had no reaction afterwards. They gradually loosened their vigilance and then sat down again.
These three most powerful teams in the center of the lake had Third Sky of Sky Realm warriors who were sitting in front to protect them. Therefore, other warriors could only surround the lake from the outside, and didn’t dare to mess with them. They just tried to deal with the other five teams.
Finally, hundreds of beasts stormed in like locusts. These beasts were like tigers stalking their prey, immediately starting to kill those warriors who were gathered outside the lake.
At this moment, the fight outside the lake became brutal.
The warriors not only had to face the other warriors in the lake, but they also had to cope with the influx of the beasts.
More and more warriors outside the lake were attacked. Many of them were bitten and torn apart; even their bones were swallowed.
Although this small lake had a special effect in resisting the beasts, the warriors in the lake were still a little bit worried that the defensive power of this lake would suddenly disappear.
With so many beast gathering outside it, once the lake’s defense was turned off, those warriors who were meditating would be bitten and swallowed in a short time. No one dared to take risks, and thus, they all looked like they were encountering a pandemic.
The brutal fight with a significant number of warriors and beasts finally ended after around ten minutes.
This is just those beasts’ first attack. Storms, flames, wind, frost, and lightning were still there.
Leylin knows that small lake can prevent the beasts, but it doesn’t mean that it can block those disasters that come from the four mountains as well.
Leylin contemplated a little bit before speaking, “You guys be careful, the fight from here onwards would only be more brutal and cut throat. Don’t even think about snatching any benefits, just protect yourself at all cost and stay out of other’s way. Later if I have time I would acquire some suitable secret treasure for you, with that you would be able to turn the situation of the Cloud Mountain around and increase your ability significantly.”
“Thank you so much for everything, Berkan.”
“Don’t worry about it, it’s just a small matter for me. But I do suggest you three leave this place immediately, nothing good would come for you guys. I am sorry to say but your strength is just too indifferential to gain anything much.”
“…. ”
“It’s better to go back, you have experienced a lot and I can see it in your eyes that your perspective as well as behavior towards cultivation has changed, I dare say this trip although atrocious isn’t without any gains. Go back to Cloud Mountains, use your enlightenment and broaden horizon to achieve a greater power level.”
“Defeat all and any who stands in your way and pave a path for yourself forging your mind and ability. And when you have defeated all of the enemies there and think that you are ready for a bigger stage, come here again.”
Leylin talked with Neelam, Ben and Ian, and came to know that the situation in Cloud Mountain isn’t very ideal.
In Deep Clouds Place, there were the Fire Empire, the God-blessed Empire, and the Merchant Union. Among them, the Merchant Union was considered the weakest. After Crystal family, Dunn family and Delaney family were wiped out, the number of Merchant Union warriors was not enough. Thus, they were not able to face the intimidation from these two Empires, and let them harbor wicked intentions.
Leylin doesn’t have time to care about them, but he still decided to offer some help. Leylin has many profound and mysterious Martial Arts which he can share with these three.
The level of warriors in Cloud mountain isn’t very high, even Endless Sea are a level higher than them not to mention the monsters in Divine Land. Leylin’s personally tailored and crafted Martial Arts are not to be taken lightly either, with the optimization of A. I. Chip and his own understanding of the Martial ways, Leylin can surely say that the level of his skills aren’t much lacking compared to Divine Land warriors.
Obviously these can’t compare to those secret skills of the many ancient and powerful factions but compared to Cloud mountain warriors, it’s definitely at a whole another level.
Leylin can also give some scared level treasure to them which would immediately raise their fighting ability. Even with the simplest sacred level treasure Ben Parks would reign as the number one expert of the Cloud mountain while Ian would be as strong as a Sky realm warrior.
Suddenly Leylin turned his attention away from Neelam and others looking at the the intensive lightning area ahead.
He couldn’t help but mutter, “Another round of elimination.”
In the area where the two rivers interweaved, ancient corpses piled up, vaguely forming a bridge which extended to the small lake and gradually descended into the lake.
Violent fluctuations came in from those dazzling lights. Many colorful beams of lights, which looked as if there were fishes inside, were twisting and meandering. With a closer look, people realized that the lights were actually swords, armors, jade hairpins, jade stones… all kinds of secret treasures.
“Those are the secret treasures.”
The warriors in the lake screamed boisterously with excitement. All of them were ready to grab the secret treasures.
In the center of the lake, six of the Third Sky of Sky Realm warriors stood up one by one, raised their heads up as they threw a quick look at the movement above, and then immediately stared at Leylin’s group with cold eyes. They obviously didn’t have good intentions.
The energy fluctuations at the point where the two galaxies interweaved above everyone’s heads were getting more and more violent. It seemed like countless different energy traits at that weaving point had begun to have some unusual changes.
The floating ancient corpses were affected by the energy from that center weaving point and started to sink slowly.
These corpses formed a ladder which started from the sky and gradually fell closer to everyone’s heads.
The ladder that these ancient corpses have formed should have reached that energy weaving point. Once the ladder descends these three teams of warriors will compete for the opportunity to go up.
From the corner of the river, a beautiful and cold girl took out a dark purple stone, on which a mysterious pattern looking like a network of mountains and rivers was engraved. The breath of the Intent Domain had fully covered those crisscrossing rivers.
The stone seal in her white hand vaguely scattered purple lights. The pattern engraved on the stone was very lively. In those purple lights, mountains and rivers looked like they were being revived, as they slowly started moving on the stone.
“Hmm.. ” Leylin sensed an odd movement as his attention was suddenly attracted towards that beautiful girl standing at the corner of the lake.
Leylin could sense the woman immersing her mind in the stone. Her whole body suddenly brought out a thorough Intent Domain. She poured her Profound Qi from her body into the stone to form a connection.
‘A Sacred level Secret Treasure? But why did she brought it out so soon, the fight haven’t even started. It seems she has some plans of herself. Interesting… ‘
While the people were finding targets, the corpse bridge was getting closer to everyone’s heads, only about a few dozen meters away.
At this moment, the three teams in the center of the lake couldn’t control themselves anymore. Their eyes flashed with fierce lights, and they started to launch their attacks toward the opponent next to them.
First, the three teams had only focused their powers on other teams who had Third Sky of Sky Realm warriors, because they considered them as their main threats. However, when they subconsciously looked at the disasters which were slowly coming their way, they began to pay attention to Leylin’s group as well.
The faces of Neelam, Ian and Ben became cold. Everyone tensed up. The distance between them and those disasters was getting closer. Leylin’s group would probably be the ones who got hit first by the flames and storm. In case they had to resist the disasters and other warriors attacked at the same time, their situation would be extremely dangerous.
“So very interesting…. ”
