105: Chapter war begins!

As soon as Xiao Ruobai finished speaking, exclamations of surprise erupted from all corners of the Secret Realm.

The Spiritual Qi, originally suppressed to the Purple Mansion Realm, surged like a wild horse, and the Cultivation of the various Sect Masters and Elders all returned to their original Realms.

Most eye-catching was the commotion from the Demonic Sect and the Burning Heaven Palace.

Moluo felt the Devilish Qi of his King Realm surge anew within him, his pale face instantly turning crimson, as he stared intently at Xiao Ruobai, all the ferocity he had suppressed earlier now erupting.

Devilish Qi condensed around his body into a ferocious phantom, as if it would pounce in the next second.

Xue Wushang of the Blood Soul Sect also emerged from the shadows, blood-colored mist swirling at his fingertips, his gaze sinisterly darting between Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu, clearly calculating how to strike amidst the chaos.

Lie Tianxiong of the Burning Heaven Palace was even more agitated; he clenched his fists abruptly, and the Heavenly Human Realm flame Spiritual Qi erupted uncontrollably, the hem of his robe scorching and flapping loudly.

He had already been filled with suppressed anger from being robbed repeatedly, and now that his Cultivation had recovered, his confidence instantly soared. He glared fiercely at Xiao Ruobai, the killing intent in his eyes practically overflowing, just needing an excuse to act.

The powerhouses from other Sects were not idle either, their gazes shifting back and forth between Xiao Ruobai and the Tongtian Pagoda.

The resonance of the Tongtian Pagoda and the strange phenomenon of the glowing runes earlier, even a fool could guess that the Legacy had fallen into the hands of these two. Who wouldn't want a share?

Shi Wanshan stood among the Azure Profound Sect's ranks, observing all of this, his brow gradually furrowing.

He quietly retreated half a step and exchanged a look with Li Xuanfeng. Li Xuanfeng immediately understood, grasping his sword hilt, his Spiritual Qi subtly circulating.

He knew that this battle was likely unavoidable, and he could only do his best to protect Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu.

Little Black flapped its wings and landed on a gnarled ancient tree branch in the distance, its black bean-like eyes scanning the tense crowd below, its gaze filled with casual disdain.

It was as if the people below, clenching their Magical Artifacts and with surging Spiritual Qi, were merely ants circling crumbs.

Guarding this place, let alone the Cultivators who had just recovered their Cultivation, even if a Quasi-Emperor were to arrive, they wouldn't be able to harm Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu in the slightest under its watchful eye.

Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu exchanged glances, and instead of panicking, they grinned.

"What a grand display. Are you planning to gang up on the two of us?"

Xiao Ruobai flexed his wrist, his long halberd spinning in his hand, its tip cutting through the air, stirring up a sharp gust of wind.

"It seems everyone is very interested in the Legacy of the Tongtian Pagoda."

Fang Hanyu also smiled and nodded, his long sword gently unsheathing half an inch, a pale green sword light flickering with bone-chilling coldness.

He suddenly fixed his gaze on Lie Tianxiong, deliberately raising his voice with a hint of mockery.

"Lie Tianxiong, last time I saw you wearing the brocade robe of the Burning Heaven Palace Sect Master, why have you changed into an Elder's clothes this time, and even wearing a hat? Do you have some special fetish?"

As soon as these words were uttered, they immediately drew the attention of those around, with many people focusing their gaze on Lie Tianxiong, and even some busybodies whispering amongst themselves.

Lie Tianxiong's face instantly turned from crimson to ashen, and he roared, "You brat, how dare you! Today I will definitely cut you down and reclaim what is mine!"

With that, he was about to activate his flame Spiritual Qi and attack.

Xiao Ruobai, however, suddenly spoke, turning his gaze to Moluo, his tone calm but with a hint of sarcasm.

"Moluo, you brat, I didn't expect you to be so tenacious. After we beat you so badly last time, you're still alive? It seems the Demon Heaven Sect's healing Secret Art is more reliable than your combat power."

Moluo was already seething with anger, and to be called a 'brat' by the person in front of him made him even more enraged, about to strike, but was held back by the only two remaining Elders.

"Sect Master, these two are full of confidence and obtained the Legacy so quickly, could they have some reliance?"

At these words, Moluo inexplicably felt a chill in his heart, and the scene of being miserably hunted down before reappeared in his mind.

Although he had now recovered his King Realm, if it came to a real fight, he didn't know what trump cards the other party might have.

The surrounding Sects were also merely watching like tigers, with no one truly daring to make the first move, and for a time, no one dared to act rashly.

Seeing the crowd hesitate, Fang Hanyu quietly transmitted a message to Xiao Ruobai.

"Senior Brother, should we fight or run? With our speed, if we want to run, they definitely won't catch up. If we fight, there are several King Realms here, two major Realms higher than us. This time, we'll probably have to go all out."

Xiao Ruobai transmitted back, "Although they are many, they all have their own agendas and may not be united. I have already refined the Tongtian Pagoda and can use the power of the Secret Realm; there's no need to run yet."

His gaze swept over Shi Wanshan, seeing that he was fully on guard, ready to assist at any time, and immediately transmitted a message.

"Martial Uncle Shi, Junior Brother and I can handle it. Don't expose yourself yet."

Shi Wanshan received the message, paused for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Xiao Ruobai never boasted; since he dared to say so, he must have confidence. So he quietly restrained Li Xuanfeng, signaling him not to act for now and to observe the situation.

Xiao Ruobai took a deep breath, and his aura suddenly changed.

The previously hidden Cave Heaven Realm Middle Stage Spiritual Qi was no longer suppressed, and its resonance with the Tongtian Pagoda grew even stronger. The runes on the tower body lit up again, and a powerful pressure erupted from within him, spreading outwards.

He gripped his long halberd, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.

"Want to seize the Legacy? You can, but you'll have to ask the long halberd in my hand, and the Tongtian Pagoda behind me, if they agree first!"

Golden runes on Xiao Ruobai's palm suddenly lit up, instantly connecting with the glowing patterns on the Tongtian Pagoda's body.

He closed his eyes, his Sea of Consciousness completely connected with the Secret Realm's Spiritual Veins. The Spiritual Qi, originally scattered throughout the Secret Realm, converged like a tide, surging towards the core area along the rune network.

The people below only felt their bodies heavy, and their recently recovered Cultivation was once again suppressed. The Heavenly Human Realm Spiritual Qi shrank into a ball, and the King Realm's pressure dissipated by more than half.

Damn it, he can actually manipulate the power of the Secret Realm?

However, to everyone's relief, this suppression was no longer as severe.

King Realm Cultivators could still exert the Cultivation of a Heavenly Human Realm Peak, while Heavenly Human Realm Cultivators only felt a slight suppression.

"Since you want the Legacy, then, come and fight! Fight!!!"

Moluo clenched his fists abruptly, his fingernails digging deep into his palms. The humiliation of being mocked by Xiao Ruobai earlier, and the covetousness for the Legacy, finally overcame the apprehension in his heart.

"Charge! Kill them and seize the Legacy!"

Before his words finished, he activated his Devilish Qi, rushing towards Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu like a black tide.

Xue Wushang of the Blood Soul Sect also emerged from the shadows, blood-colored mist swirling at his fingertips, coldly ordering, "Follow! Don't let the Demon Heaven Sect monopolize the benefits!"

The Blood Soul Sect Disciples transformed into streaks of blood-shadows, closely following and joining the battle.

On the Burning Heaven Palace side, Lie Tianxiong clenched his fists, the Heavenly Human Realm flame Spiritual Qi erupting uncontrollably, the hem of his robe scorching and flapping loudly.

He was already seething with anger from having his storage ring stolen, and now that his Cultivation had recovered, he could no longer hold back. Without waiting for the Grand Elder to dissuade him, he roared and charged towards Xiao Ruobai.

"You brat! Today, I will make you pay for your blood debt!"

"Palace Master! No!"

The Grand Elder's face changed drastically, and he quickly reached out to pull him back, but only managed to grab a scorching corner of his robe.

The Second Elder also said anxiously, "Let the Demonic Sect test them first! Don't be impulsive!"

But Lie Tianxiong was already blinded by rage and couldn't listen to reason. Flame Spiritual Qi condensed in his palm into a ten-foot-long fiery fist, smashing directly at Xiao Ruobai's face.

At this moment, Xiao Ruobai was wielding his halberd to meet Moluo's attack. The clash between the golden halberd light and the Devilish Qi instantly erupted with violent energy aftershocks.

Lie Tianxiong's fiery fist had just approached the battle circle when it was fiercely struck by this aftershock.

Today I will update one chapter first, and then two more chapters at 5 PM.
