Chapter 1085: Paragon Descends
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The words of the new Left Hall Master made the five Taichu Yuan Venerates, who had originally been very confident, start to feel hesitant.
Anyone who could ascend and become a Taichi Yuan Venerate was basically a decision-maker in war that would not hesitate at all. However, this matter had already become too huge for them to be calling the shots.
It was a common agreement between the powerhouses of Tianding Realm that they should make the Human Race of the 36 Great Cosmoses serve Tianding Realm. However, the consequences of an intense fight between Tianding Realm and the mortals was, in their opinion, a responsibility that they could not afford to bear.
After all, above them was still the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor didn’t pay much attention to common disputes that could hurt the overall strength of the Human Race, as true elites were tempered during fights through blood and fire.
However, he would have to intervene once a major conflict broke out between the 36 Great Cosmoses and Tianding Realm.
According to their estimate, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor would need to deal with some people to pacify the anger of the Human Race in the 36 Great Cosmoses.
They had caused this huge conflict, so they would naturally be the best scapegoats.
Hence, the five Taichu Yuan Venerates did not immediately speak. They just stared at each other a few times and quickly asked their own family’s patriarch for instructions.
In fact, powerhouses in Tianding Realm were also paying attention to the clash between the two sides from above. A meeting was even held in a nameless void.
“Dear senior brothers, the resistance of the 36 Great Cosmoses is something I expected, but I did not expect that they would be so ardent.”
Long Fantian was smiling like a gentle, noble son as he said calmly, “While anyone who dares to fight against Tianding Realm can be eliminated simply with a snap, it will be difficult to explain to the patriarch if there is an actual war between the two sides.”
“What I am trying to say is that it is better to withdraw our men now and wait for me to assume the position of the Human Ruler first.”
A patriarch with a pale white face asked coldly, “Little junior brother, are you so sure that you will obtain the position of the Human Ruler?”
“I’ve gotten people to look into Luo Yunyang. Although his rise in the 36 Great Cosmoses was recent, he has never attempted anything that he was uncertain of.”
“Junior Brother, you will be utterly disgraced if you lose to him!”
Long Fantian remained cool even though his senior brother’s words were sarcastic. He seemed to pretend not to hear what his senior brother had said.
“Brother Dongfang, you should be aware of the strength of your little junior brother.”
Long Fantian said gently, “I would like to say something bold. In Tianding Realm, I am really not too worried about anyone else other than my senior brothers and master.”
“As for the 36 Great Cosmoses, there’s virtually no possibility of me failing.”
The patriarch with the pale face scoffed and did not speak. A withered, aged man who was sitting nearby said heavily, “We naturally believe in your cultivation, little junior brother, but we think that the position of the Human Ruler is extremely important to Tianding Realm. We mustn’t allow any form of mishap to occur.”
“In order to help you become the Human Ruler, I think all our families should send some elite Taichu Yuan Venerates to sweep them cleanly away for your sake.”
“There’s also another thing. Aren’t Lu Xinlong and Zhong Meng being held captive by Luo Yunyang in Hong Meng Sacred Hall? I’ll have to trouble Brother Beiyun to make a trip.”
“First, bring your disciples back. Second, teach Luo Yunyang a lesson that he will remember for the rest of his life.”
The old man, who looked like withered bamboo, shot a glance at the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall when he mentioned Brother Beiyun, obviously implying that this person was the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
The First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall gently nodded and said, “I’ll take a trip to test the strength of that evil being then.”
“Let’s see what sort of skill he has to dare disobey my decree.”
The smile on Long Fantian’s face widened. Although he wasn’t too worried about Luo Yunyang competing for the position of the Human Ruler, he would still be very pleased if Luo Yunyang was eliminated earlier.
After all, he would have no opponents if Luo Yunyang was eliminated.
The position of the Human Ruler would surely fall into his hands.
Because of the importance of the position of the Human Ruler, Long Fantian did not want any mistakes to happen. He also did not like to take risks when it came to matters like this.
“Thank you, senior brother!” Long Fantian cupped his fists as he addressed the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall. “Everything will fall in place after I become the Human Ruler. By that time, the 36 Great Cosmoses will be prosperous for those who follow me and disastrous for those who oppose me!”
“This is within the power and authority of the Human Ruler as long as we don’t slaughter all the forces of the 36 Great Cosmoses. Master would not blame me either.”
After Long Fantian finished speaking, the first Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall gently formed a series of hand seals before disappearing completely.
Long Fantian was the only one left alone in that huge space when the high-ranking powerhouses departed.
He glanced at the empty void and did not say anything, but he clearly had a lofty air.
In the starry sky, the legion from Tianding Realm was retreating rapidly. Their actions quickly spread to all corners of the 36 Great Cosmoses through the virtual realms.
Many martialists cheered after seeing the situation.
The new Left Hall Master, who watched the fleet with the five Taichu Yuan Venerates leaving, actually felt beads of perspiration on his forehead.
Although the five Sacred Halls still had unseen ways of dealing with this matter if it escalated, the new Left Hall Master was really unwilling to let things go south.
After all, the power of the 36 Great Cosmoses was too inferior to Tianding Realm’s power.
However, as these cheers resounded through every corner, in the forum of the virtual realm, news was posted by a powerhouse of Tianding Realm.
The content of the news was very simple. It was only one sentence: Welcome the return of the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall!
The endless joy and laughter that had filled the entire virtual realms quietened down instantly when the message appeared.
The position of the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall was so high that it seemed like a star in the sky to most people. However, the news of his arrival was depressing, especially when someone broke the news in the virtual realm that Luo Yunyang had suppressed the disciples of the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
The First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall wasn’t coming to Hong Meng Sacred Hall with kind intentions.
This was the first thought nearly everyone had after hearing that the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall would descend on the 36 Great Cosmoses.
Despite these countless thoughts, no one suggested any solutions.
Although the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had led the first Hall Masters of all the Sacred Halls to establish Tianding Realm, those Hall Masters had already been gone for such a long period of time that it seemed like they already had nothing to do with the five Sacred Halls.
However, they were still the First Hall Masters after all.
Furthermore, according to the speculation of many people, even if these peak Taichu Yuan Venerates had not been able to become Taiyi Yuan Venerates back in the day, they should still be a mere step away from reaching the Taiyi Yuan Venerate level.
Could Luo Yunyang resist such formidable individuals? Could Hong Meng Sacred Hall resist? And what would be the consequences if they couldn’t?
During the silence, a video that seemed like a live stream suddenly appeared in the virtual realm. Below was a post that welcomed the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
The video was streaming from the unadorned palace hall of Hong Meng Sacred Hall. A figure could also be seen in the video. The figure was simple, yet it made everything around it turn black and white.
He stood in the void and was the size of an ordinary person, but upon careful observation of this person, it felt as though he was a hundred times larger than Hong Meng Sacred Hall in the distance.
Although there was no sound or explanation, almost everyone knew as soon as the figure appeared that this was the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall, who had once again arrived outside Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
“Get Luo Yunyang to come see me,” the figure in this black-and-white world said gently.
His voice wasn’t loud but it spread across the endless land. Some Universe-Grade martialists that were guarding Hong Meng Sacred Hall couldn’t help but fall to the ground and prostrate upon hearing the voice.
Although they were not willing to give in, they still involuntarily prostrated on the ground in the face of this strong pressure.
He was extremely powerful! Extremely mighty!
This was what most people in Hong Meng Sacred Hall thought when they saw the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall. They already felt an impulse to submit to him.
Deep in Hong Meng Sacred Hall, Luo Yunyang, who was in seclusion, opened his eyes slowly. He appeared very ordinary, yet he gave off the vibe that he could break anything while sitting in the void.
The First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall had unexpectedly come now, but Luo Yunyang was not too surprised.
After all, he had known that the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall would come eventually after he’d decided to hold Lu Xinlong.
Just as he was about to leave, a voice said, “He is here! Leave it to me!”
It was the voice of the Divine Elder. Luo Yunyang already knew that the Divine Elder wasn’t an intelligent person without his own views. After hearing what the Divine Elder said, he replied, “Divine Elder, I’m afraid you are not his opponent.”
“Although the gap between me and him is widening, I am still sure that I’m capable of making him leave. Just leave it to me.”
The Divine Elder said with determination, “You shouldn’t reveal your true strength so early if you want to compete for the position of the Human Ruler.”
