Ch. 896 - Struggle For Myriad Treasures Tower

“Cough, cough,” Xu Zimo gave a light cough twice.

Then he said: “I am the current Holy Son of the True Martial Sacred Ground. This time, I am here representing the True Martial Sacred Ground.”

Although the True Martial Sacred Ground had indeed remained silent regarding this matter, recalling the past, Grand Emperor Zhen Wu, as a member of the human race, was the first Grand Emperor among all races.

He opened the Imperial Era, and his merits and achievements absolutely ranked him among the greatest emperors.

But in that age when humanity declined, Zhen Wu had also entered the Heavenly Dao Academy, where he studied supreme divine techniques, which greatly aided his future accomplishments.

As the Holy Son of the True Martial Sacred Ground, Xu Zimo could not sit idly by.

Since he was already here at the Heavenly Dao Academy, helping his sect regain some reputation would not hurt.

He looked up at Kuang Qianting in the sky, secretly shaking his head in his heart.

“This is no Mad Lord of Seven Lifetimes, it’s a Roast Lord of Seven Lifetimes...”

Across the entire Primordial Heartlands, nearly every imperial lineage had been scolded by him.

And since they were at fault, they had no way to retort.

……

Hearing Xu Zimo’s words, Kuang Qianting froze for a moment before realizing. He replied, “Ahh... My apologies, I didn’t investigate clearly. The True Martial Sacred Ground doesn’t count.”

Just as Kuang Qianting was about to continue speaking, several of the imperial lineages on the side could no longer sit still.

The Nine Suns Wanderer shouted coldly, “In this world, the winner is king and the loser is the villain. What’s the point of wasting so many words?”

Around him, nine blazing suns floated like scorching heavens.

The fiery heat burned through the void.

Some who were too close even began to combust spontaneously.

Except for the strongest cultivators, everyone else had to retreat from him.

“Nine Suns Piercing Day,” the Nine Suns Wanderer let out a soft shout.

The nine suns all charged toward Kuang Qianting.

“Everyone, take what you need,” the Proud Dragon Ancestor also roared.

He transformed into a thunder dragon, rushing deep into the Heavenly Dao Academy.

Crackling explosions echoed wherever he passed.

He arrived before a magnificent great hall, his endless body coiling around it.

He directly uprooted the entire great hall.

In that instant, his whole body surged with thunder and lightning, while a dragon’s roar shook the heavens.

The ground beneath the hall split into countless cracks, the earth sank, and countless surrounding buildings collapsed.

“What thief dares intrude into my Pavilion?” a furious voice bellowed from within the hall.

Immediately after, countless long serpents slithered out, striking at the thunder dragon’s body.

These serpents were not true snakes, nor ordinary ones.

They were condensed by a peculiar kind of power.

As the serpents clashed against the thunder dragon’s body, continuous explosions rang out.

The thunder dragon stiffened from the assault.

Its tail, which had been coiled tightly around the hall, loosened.

The massive dragon head turned its mighty gaze toward the hall.

Out stepped a man in long robes, several serpents coiling on his shoulders.

“It’s Venerable Min!” someone within the Heavenly Dao Academy shouted.

Seeing Venerable Min appear, the Proud Dragon Ancestor chuckled.

“It is said that within the Heavenly Dao Academy, the dean is the strongest, mysterious and elusive, rarely seen. Next is the vice dean Li Changhe, who governs the entire academy, his strength already at the immortal path, profound and transcendent. Below them are the Two Venerables, one Nu, one Min. You two are the foremost teachers of the academy, famous throughout. Interesting.”

“There are many more interesting things to come,” Venerable Min replied calmly.

“You want to block me?” the Proud Dragon Ancestor asked.

“No,” Venerable Min shook his head, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. “To kill you!”

“Young man, what an arrogant tone. When I once followed the Ancient Dragon Emperor and suppressed an entire era, you weren’t even born yet,” the Proud Dragon Ancestor said indifferently. “Don’t flatter yourself. I won’t comment on the great achievements of the Ancient Dragon Emperor. But you are nothing more than a lizard,” Venerable Min snorted coldly. “Today, I’ll extract your dragon bones as a warning to your Ancient Dragon Dynasty, so you don’t forget gratitude.”

Around Venerable Min, countless small serpents coiled, a strange energy swirling around him, clashing against the massive thunder dragon formed by the Proud Dragon Ancestor.

Whether it was the Blade Couple, or the later arrivals South Sun Monk and Kuang Qianting, each had blocked an imperial lineage powerhouse.

The rest had all fallen into a melee.

For the moment, victory was undecided.

The entire Heavenly Dao Academy was engulfed in a layer of warfire.

……

“Shouldn’t we go help?” Pure Water looked toward the pavilion, where Xu Zimo still sat calmly, and asked.

“They’re here,” Xu Zimo didn’t answer her directly. Instead, he looked into the distance and slowly stood.

“Who’s here?” Pure Water asked curiously.

“Brother Xu,” at that moment, Mo Tianming’s figure reappeared, walking over from afar.

He smiled and said: “We meet again.”

“I’d rather not,” Xu Zimo replied.

“Myriad Treasures Tower, I only seek one item,” Mo Tianming said with a smile. “Give it to me, and I can help you guard the Myriad Treasures Tower together. How about it?”

“You…” Pure Water stared at Mo Tianming in shock.

“As a student of the academy, how can you do this?”

“Planned for long?” Xu Zimo asked.

“Yes and no. Although Brother Xu and I have not known each other long, we get along well.” Mo Tianming said: “I do not wish to harm you, nor do I bear malice toward the Heavenly Dao Academy. But that item I must obtain. With no other choice, I am forced.”

“What item?” Xu Zimo asked.

“This, Brother Xu does not need to know,” Mo Tianming replied.

“And if I refuse?” Xu Zimo asked.

Mo Tianming did not answer. Instead, a vast aura surged from his body, waves of azure spiritforce rippling.

In an instant, Mo Tianming stepped forward.

Xu Zimo had seen his speed before, during his battle with Ji Ruobing, and roughly understood his strength.

But now, with azure spiritforce surrounding him, Mo Tianming’s speed had more than doubled.

He instantly stepped, his figure flashing into the pavilion.

His palm slammed down toward the stone table inside.

“You’ll have to get through me first,” Xu Zimo smiled, throwing a fist toward his head.

If Mo Tianming did not evade, that punch would crush his skull.

“Brother Xu, why must this be?” Mo Tianming smiled.

The hand that had been pressing down on the stone table paused, and his figure flickered out of the pavilion.

“Since entering the Heavenly Dao Academy, I’ve seen many so-called young geniuses. But only Brother Xu remains unreadable to me. Today, I must learn for myself,” Mo Tianming said with a grin.

“That was my thought as well,” Xu Zimo also smiled.

His body blurred into countless afterimages in the void, charging at Mo Tianming.

Azure spiritforce and black spiritforce clashed in midair.

Even Pure Water, standing aside, could only barely glimpse flickering shadows. She could not see either figure clearly.
