Chapter 280: Chapter 271: Descendant of the Demon Emperor (14th Update)

"Demons Emperor?!"

"It is none other than the one who, a hundred thousand years ago, swept across the entire Eastern Desolate, the Undying Demon Emperor. Rumor has it that he was one of the Ancient Four Fierce Beasts, the Qiongqi in the flesh!"

"The Undying Demon Emperor?! Wasn’t he the same one who, a hundred thousand years ago, fought with our Beiming’s Divine King Ling Changkong above the Endless Sea of Death for several months, ultimately suffering defeat at the hands of Ling Changkong?"

"That’s the one. Who would have thought that the youth who has now defeated Lin Jing, Zhuo Bufan, and Zhou Tong, would turn out to be a descendant of the Undying Demon Emperor!"

"Now we’re in trouble. The Undying Demon Emperor is said to be the transformation of the Qiongqi, one of the Ancient Four Fierce Beasts. His body is immensely powerful, feasting on the flesh of Divine Beasts. Now that his descendant has appeared, it’s likely that he has inherited that powerful lineage. Three of the six great emperor candidates on the list of geniuses in the land of Beiming have already been defeated. It looks as if he intends to sweep through all of the younger generation in Beiming!"

"If all of Beiming’s talented youths are defeated, won’t we lose all face?!"

"Extra! Extra! Qiu Family’s Saint Child Qiu Chengye has also been defeated!"

"Qiu Chengye has been defeated as well?! Now, in the land of Beiming, only the Divine Body Wu Lingfeng and Yaochi Immortal Palace’s Saintess Qin Yue, who has yet to make a complete appearance, remain!"

"Qin Yue is not yet fully grown, and it seems the descendant of the Demon Emperor isn’t very interested in her. Rumor has it that he has now issued a challenge to the Divine Body Wu Lingfeng, deciding to settle their rivalry atop Langya Mountain in one month!"

Woosh!

Once the news was out, the land of Beiming was completely shaken. The top of Langya Mountain in a month’s time would surely be surrounded by countless spectators.

This battle will determine the face of Beiming. If even the Beiming’s living Divine Body is defeated, then from that day forward, Beiming will never be able to hold its head high in the Eastern Desolate again!

"The descendant of the Demon Emperor, with such a strong body, has few rivals in the world. I’ve heard that Wu Lingfeng has been in seclusion this past year. Has his Divine Body reached completion?"

"If the Divine Body is not at completion, he might not be able to withstand the outstanding presence of the Demon Emperor’s descendant. Hearing that Wu Lingfeng has accepted the challenge, he must also have confidence in suppressing the opponent!"

...

Beiming was in an uproar, and although there was still a month to go before the confrontation, all parties had already begun to make their moves, heading to the site of Langya Mountain early in the morning.

This battle is the center of global attention. Recently, the descendant of the Demon Emperor has consecutively defeated four geniuses of the great emperor candidates. The matter pressed heavily on the hearts of all cultivators in Beiming, leaving them unable to let go.

This was a battle of dignity, concerning the face of Beiming. If even the Divine Body is defeated, Beiming will become the laughingstock of the other three territories!

...

At this moment, within a small city in the land of Beiming, inside an inn.

On the third floor of the inn, by a window, a man and a woman sat facing each other. The man, dressed in white, had an ethereal and transcendental aura about him, with every move revealing a resolute character.

The woman, also dressed in a flowing white gown, sat opposite the man, her face as cold as ice, rejecting all from a thousand miles away, yet for the man alone she offered a captivating smile.

"What do you think, shall we go have a look?"

These two also heard about the upcoming fight between Wu Lingfeng and the descendant of the Demon Emperor. The woman held a cup of tea, took a small sip, and then spoke with a smile.

The man gazed out at the sky through the window, falling silent for a moment before speaking lightly, "After a yearlong deep sleep, it indeed seems like a good time to join the fun. To be able to defeat the geniuses listed as candidates for the four Great Emperors, this descendant of the Demon Emperor should not be underestimated. It’s quite exciting indeed..."

As he spoke, a glint of battle intent sparkled in the man’s eyes.

This man was none other than Mo Wangchen!

And the woman opposite him was the very same Yaoyao who, back then, he had carried on his back into Reincarnation Mountain, walked with across the Other Shore Bridge, and who had now awoken from her deep sleep!

After a year of slumber, when Mo Wangchen awoke, he was astonished to find that his cultivation had already stepped into the Creation Realm.

Not only that, his Divine King Body had now reached the Great Achievement Realm!

When he awoke, Yaoyao had already been awake for a while, patiently waiting by his side without leaving. Strangely enough, just as before, there wasn’t the slightest bit of cultivation on her, but her entire personality had undergone a drastic transformation.

Gone was her former childlike way of thinking, replaced by the mature mindset that an adult woman should have!

Yet, what was even more bizarre was that, although Yaoyao’s personality had changed, her memories had not altered in the slightest. Now, aside from Mo Wangchen, she revealed a face as cold as ice to everyone else.

When the two of them woke up at the end of the Other Shore Bridge, they didn’t feel the slightest effect from the Curse Power inside Reincarnation Mountain.

Mo Wangchen buried the bones of Saint King Xuanyuan Hao in front of the Other Shore Bridge. A figure who was once a Great Emperor, a towering presence of his era, and the pride of Beiming Land, revered by all – even in death, he deserved his own gravestone.

Having buried the bones of Great Emperor Xuanyuan Hao, Mo Wangchen easily walked out of Reincarnation Mountain with Yaoyao, feeling no discomfort whatsoever!

"The Undying Demon Emperor once fought a hard battle for several months against Divine King Ling Changkong, ultimately defeated. Now his descendant has emerged with the air of sweeping through Beiming. One cannot overlook his momentum. It’s said that the Wu Family Divine Body has achieved Great Success. I wonder if he can suppress this descendant?"

"It’s hard to say! The True Dragon Body is the divine body of our times, and even if it has entered the Great Achievement Realm, suppressing the descendant of the Demon Emperor won’t be that simple."

"One month from now, the battle at the summit of Langya Mountain will determine the dignity of Beiming. If even Wu Lingfeng is defeated, Beiming Land will become the laughingstock of the other three regions, swept aside by the genius of Eastern Desolate. That wouldn’t exactly be an honor..."

Not far from Mo Wangchen and Yaoyao, a group of people sat around a table, discussing the upcoming battle between Wu Lingfeng and the Demon Emperor’s descendant over drinks.

"Alas, if only the Divine King Body were still around today, how could we let that descendant of the Demon Emperor be so arrogant?"

"The Divine King Body? Piaomiao Saint Mo Wangchen?" A man paused, then shook his head with a bitter smile, "The Divine King Body is indeed powerful, but he entered Reincarnation Mountain a year ago. By now, he’s probably nothing but a pile of bones. Even if he isn’t dead, with only a year, he probably hasn’t made much progress, especially considering he had just entered the Primordial Spirit Realm a year ago..."

"Yes, the Divine King Body, though peerless throughout the ages, will not be considered fully grown without entering the Creation Realm and is still unable to compete with the geniuses of our time," another person added.

Hearing the conversation of the few, Mo Wangchen and Yaoyao exchanged a smile, then both stood up. After tossing a few gold coins on the table, they left.

"Where are we going now?" Yaoyao asked as they walked out of the tavern.

Mo Wangchen smiled, "There’s a month left before the battle between Wu Lingfeng and the Demon Emperor’s descendant. There’s no rush to head to Langya Mountain. Let’s enjoy the journey and take in the sights along the way."

PS: The author has been up late for two consecutive nights, and despite the effort, has only managed to write 14 Chapters. I had planned to burst out 20 Chapters, but now that seems impossible. From last night to midday today at 12, I dared not sleep; my eyes are nearly unable to stay open. Don’t worry, there are six more updates owed, and I will catch up in the next two days.

After the novel goes live, it will maintain a pace of 4-5 updates per day. Any additional Chapters will be to make up for the owed
