Chapter 610: Chapter 610 The Overbearing Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect (First Update)
Boom!
The oppressive might of the Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect was terrifyingly immense, and as soon as he appeared, it enveloped the entire Southern River Basin.
In ancient times.
There was a super large Spirit Vein in this land, and the Eighteen Ancient Clans each occupied a part of it, founding a peak Four Star Level force.
If not for that devastating grand battle, such a situation would have continued to this day, and the Mystique Kingdom would never have risen.
In the eyes of the Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect, the Southern River Basin was theirs.
All these newcomers, must make way for them!
“What’s going on?”
With the eruption of the Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect’s oppressive might, the pressure on the people throughout the Southern River Basin surged, as if a great mountain pressed upon them.
Countless people looked up.
They were eager to know what exactly had happened today.
“Someone is here!”
Suddenly, a cultivator gazed towards the sky, his pupils shrinking.
Beneath the canopy of the sky.
A black-robed elder stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his red eyes glowing fiercely, his long hair wildly dancing in the wind, his body emanating a demonic might so vast, it nearly devoured the entire Southern River Basin.
“Void Break Fourth Layer…no, this is just an incarnation of Divine Sense, its true body’s Cultivation Level is even higher by a few minor realms.”
Ye Feng looked at the Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect, his gaze sharpening.
He knew of the existence of the Eighteen Ancient Clans, and that they were once top-tier Four-Star forces, each having an extremely powerful expert in the Void Break Realm at their helm.
Even though they lost more than ninety percent of their strength in the ancient war, they must have recovered significantly over the years.
Otherwise, they would not dare to emerge.
“A Divine Sense incarnation alone is at the Void Break Fourth Layer, its true body must be at least Void Break Sixth Layer, troublesome indeed,” Ye Feng thought to himself.
The Holy Divine Form had cooled down, but he was not planning to use it just yet.
This was his strongest card at the moment, not to be used lightly.
With his current state alone, without using “Seven Steps to Heaven”, it seemed this was his strength level.
“Fellow Daoist, why have you come to our Mystique Kingdom to unleash such might?”
At that moment, an aged voice sounded.
Following that, a gentle aura descended, relieving most of the people from the immense pressure.
Ancestor Lingmiao had arrived.
By his side was Ancestor Jinling.
On the ground.
The Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword, Sect Master of Blood Lotus Sect, and Master of White Feather Pavilion looked up at the Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect, finding his actions too reckless.
Yet, the Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect didn’t seem to see it that way.
Standing high in the sky, his face cold and haughty, he glared down at the recently arrived Ancestor Jinling and Ancestor Lingmiao, disdainfully saying, “Which one of you is the ancestor of Mystique Kingdom?”
“I am,” Ancestor Lingmiao replied.
“Fellow Daoist, why release such oppression, intimidating the millions of living beings in the Southern River Basin?” Ancestor Jinling tried to ease the tension.
The Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect, with an air of disdain, said, “This fertile land was originally our Eighteen Ancient Clans’ territory. You newcomers should learn some manners, understand?”
As these words came out, the crowd was shocked.
The Eighteen Ancient Clans?
What was that about?
Most of those present, except for a very few, were utterly clueless about the meaning behind the Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect’s statement.
“The Eighteen Ancient Clans!”
Ancestor Jinling and Ancestor Lingmiao’s gazes hardened.
They were, of course, aware of these eighteen forces.
But only as legends.
Especially Ancestor Lingmiao, his eyes filled with shock, found it quite unbelievable.
The Eighteen Ancient Clans?
Are these not the ancient forces recorded in old scriptures, which have reemerged in the world?
Thinking of this, Ancestor Lingmiao found it increasingly unbelievable.
Having carried on for thousands of years, as the ruler of the Mystique Kingdom, he understood the history of this region when he established his kingdom on this fertile soil.
Therefore, Ancestor Lingmiao knew that a great war had erupted in the Southern River Basin ten thousand years ago.
And in that war, all of the Eighteen Ancient Clans vanished.
In his view, the Eighteen Ancient Clans had already exited the stage of history, but unexpectedly, after lying dormant for ten thousand years, they had now reemerged in the world.
Ancestor Jinling also knew of the Eighteen Ancient Clans.
Ten thousand years ago, they were a group of peak Four-Star forces, and even in Jiaoyang Holy City, there were records about them.
It is said that when the Eighteen Ancient Clans joined forces, they were strong enough to rival Five-Star forces, and their fame was considerable.
In Ancestor Jinling’s memory, the sudden disappearance of the Eighteen Ancient Clans was due to a tragic and intense battle.
As for the true nature of that battle, no one was clear.
After all, these were events from ten thousand years ago, and unless someone had personally experienced them, no one could be certain of the details.
“So, it’s the predecessors of the Eighteen Ancient Clans, then, my friend, which force are you from?”
Ancestor Lingmiao’s attitude became much more respectful.
After all, the other party was a predecessor, deserving a certain level of respect.
“I am the current Sect Master of the Shadow Demon Sect,” he said loudly, his voice amplified by his aura, instantly spreading throughout the entire Southern River Basin.
With that, he looked towards the ground.
“Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword, Sect Master of Blood Lotus Sect, Master of White Feather Pavilion, why do you not show yourselves?”
The Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect spoke in a deep voice.
“Now that things have come to this, let’s go out too! It’s necessary for us, the Eighteen Ancient Clans, to appear in the world, whether sooner or later,” said the Sect Master of Blood Lotus Sect.
Hearing this, the Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword and the Master of White Feather Pavilion nodded, flying into the sky together to stand near the Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect.
The same oppressive might of the Fourth Layer of Void Break.
Seeing this, the crowd was astounded.
“Four Void Break Ancients!”
“Is this the true strength of the Eighteen Ancient Clans?”
The people from the various forces were filled with shock.
Although many onlookers didn’t know the history of the Eighteen Ancient Clans, the appearance of four individuals with the ability to Void Break was certainly no simple matter.
“My four friends, why do the Eighteen Ancient Clans make such a grand entrance, frightening everyone in the Southern River Basin and easily causing unrest?”
Ancestor Lingmiao advised kindly.
He glanced at Ye Feng, who was still sitting calmly in his seat, knowing that he must have had a plan in mind.
“The Southern River Basin has always belonged to us, the Eighteen Ancient Clans. From today on, as our clan reemerges, we will occupy a region for the rebuilding of our sect’s gatehouse. I find this place quite suitable, and henceforth, it shall belong to our Shadow Demon Sect,”
The Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect said, with his hands behind his back and an arrogant expression.
With a population over ten million, Whitefloat City was a new type of city with a relatively central location, which he quite fancied.
“Do you really intend to vie for territory with the Misty Sect?”
The Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword furrowed his brow slightly, feeling that the Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect was being too flaunting.
After all, Whitefloat City was a subsidiary city of the Misty Sect, and today was the auspicious day of the star-raising celebration. If he were to seize it just like that, wouldn’t it mean making an enemy of the Misty Sect?
“Just a Misty Sect, what is there to fear?”
The Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect said with a cold and arrogant face.
According to the information he had gathered, although the Misty Sect might have some peculiar traits, they couldn’t possibly be a match for the Shadow Demon Sect.
He used the Heavenly Eye to observe the Misty Sect.
“Such rich destiny! A force like this should be under the control of our Shadow Demon Sect,”
thought the Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect.
If he could take over this place, the Shadow Demon Sect would surely be able to devour the destiny of the Misty Sect and continue to grow stronger.
“You want to take over my Whitefloat City?”
Suddenly, a lazy voice came from the ground.
