Chapter 50: Chapter 48: Battle of the Martial God (3rd Update)

The night had deepened, the bright moon hung in the sky, and the pure moonlight, like a layer of silver gauze draped over the Demon Beast Mountain Range, made it appear even more mysterious and enigmatic.

At this time, all was silent, everything was in the depths of slumber, yet deep within the Demon Beast Mountain Range, a terrifying disturbance suddenly exploded, unimaginable in its terror, and nearby mountains trembled and thundered continuously.

Visible to the naked eye, a surging brilliance soared into the sky, illuminating all directions, and even from dozens of miles away it could be clearly felt.

"Martial God Realm expert!"

Ye Chen reacted instantly, his perception incredibly keen, immediately determining that this was a fluctuation of divine power from the Martial God Realm, a level that the Innate Realm simply couldn’t reach.

The terrifying fluctuations shook the mountains, and the rumbling sound was incessant to the ear.

"Roar!"

A fearsome roar thundered through the vast mountain range, like a spring thunder, filled with majesty as if the king of beasts were howling. The competing growls of the demon beasts in the mountains instantly subsided, leaving only this single roar to echo.

Then, a colossal shadow soared from the depths of the mountain range and stood suspended in the empty sky. It was a gigantic green bull, as large as a little mountain, with eight sharp, enormous horns on its head. Its face was fierce, its eyes blood-red and huge, standing in the void, roaring skywards, its terrifying aura soared, dispersing the clouds.

In the entire mountain range, countless demon beasts trembled at this moment, submitting to the giant bull, not daring to stir, and even the Innate Demonic Beasts did the same.

Ye Chen’s expression became stern as he recognized the identity of the giant bull, the Octagonal Green Bull!

This was a Demon Beast King that surpassed the Innate Realm, comparable to the terrifying Super Demon Beasts of the Martial God Realm, recorded by the world, rumored to be entrenched in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and now that it had been seen, it truly was so.

However, the horror was not limited to the Octagonal Green Bull alone. On another side, another equally imposing aura was unfolding, standing off at a distance against the Octagonal Green Bull.

That was a true Human Clan Cultivator, tall and burly, clad in Battle Armor, holding a Divine Sword, standing proudly in the void, a legendary super-expert of the Martial God Realm.

Standing in the void was a hallmark of the Martial God Realm, capable of leaving the surface and truly flying.

At this moment, the Human Clan’s Martial God’s body radiated dazzling Divine Radiance, overflowing with light, his aura immense and powerful, seemingly like a Supreme God of legend, exalted and high above, treading the void.

The Divine Sword pointed at the Octagonal Green Bull from afar, the Martial God’s presence stern, with a simple word, "Hand it over!"

He was very domineering, the supreme aura of the Martial God Realm surged to the heavens, the armor and the warrior resonating with a clanging sound, radiating a surging brilliance, with an imposing manner that seemed to look down upon the world with an invincible air.

Nonetheless, the Octagonal Green Bull was very angry at the moment, facing the strong Human Clan Martial God expert, equally unyielding, its aura no less inferior to the Martial God’s, clashing and exploding with a loud blast. In that area, countless trees were affected, blown away, flattened to the ground.

This filled people with awe; it was worthy of being the Martial God Realm, where just the clash of auras was terrifying to this extent. If they truly made a move, it’s unimaginable how powerful it would be.

From the Octagonal Green Bull’s mouth came a deep voice, "Human, don’t be too presumptuous. This is not your humans’ territory but ours, the demon beasts’. You still dare to covet it... do you really wish to die?"

Ye Chen was not surprised that a demon beast could speak human language, for they were not devoid of spiritual intelligence, especially the more powerful ones; their wisdom was higher. Moreover, after reaching the Martial God Realm and condensing the Primordial Spirit, their intelligence evolved to a level comparable to humans, making speaking not a difficult task.

As for the Octagonal Green Bull’s threat, the Human Clan’s Martial God didn’t take it seriously; on the contrary, he appeared very domineering, coldly snorting, "You’re not qualified to kill me. Hand it all over, or else don’t blame me for being merciless."

"Human, you have enraged me."

The voice of the Octagonal Green Bull suddenly turned icy cold with a thunderous roar, its powerful Blood Qi erupted like a volcano, dyeing the heavens and earth red, its oppressive force frightening and incredibly intense.

Two thick breaths blasted out of the bull’s nostrils like two white pillars of smoke. The Octagonal Green Bull’s blood-colored eyes locked onto the Human Clan Martial God and, treading the void, charged forward, the earth trembling and the mountain range shaking under its step.

The Human Clan Martial God stood tall and unafraid, holding in his hand a Supreme Divine Sword, which radiated an infinite divine brilliance. The Sword Radiance surged, tearing through heaven and earth, confronting the Octagonal Green Bull.

With one slash of the Divine Sword, it instantly transformed into thousands of sword radiances, advancing toward the Octagonal Green Bull. Each one was terrifyingly powerful; together, they could cleave mountains and split the heavens and earth.

Additionally, the Human Clan Martial God’s left hand Sealed a Divine Art, communicating with the heavens and the earth.

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, summoning the powerful Seven-colored Heavenly Earth Power above, gathering a resplendent myriad of colors, beautiful beyond compare. Clearly, one could sense the terrifying might contained within, capable of obliterating the area in an instant, attacking the Octagonal Green Bull together.

Such was the method of a being in the Martial God Realm; reaching this level, one could condense their Primordial Spirit, commune with the vast heavens and earth, draw upon the boundless Heavenly Earth Power for one’s use. Such power was simply unimaginable.

The legends of the Martial God Realm beings having the power to move mountains and seas seemed exaggerated, but when one reached such a height, it was indeed so.

This was also the true power that truly towered above the Innate Realm.

It must be said, this was a terrifying method of attack, truly befitting of the legend of the Martial God. The Divine Sword sliced through the sky, the Heavenly Earth Power was in motion, launching dual attacks that directly demolished several nearby little mountains, causing landslides and earth splits, and dust blasting into the sky.

The Octagonal Green Bull roared in fury, its body as massive as a small mountain shimmered with a green light, resisting the attacks. Atop its head, the eight massive horns flickered with silver light, casting out thick green Thunder Light that shattered the Cangyu, striking the Human Clan’s Martial God.

Not far away, two little mountains struck by the green thunder fell and exploded with a loud boom, the dust clouding the sky, the terror was indescribable.

One man and one demonic beast collided directly, shaking the heavens and the earth.

It could be said, this would be a Martial God Level battle that would capture the attention of a grand era, whether it was the Human Clan’s Martial God or the Octagonal Green Bull, both were beings that surpassed the Innate Realm, once they battled, the fierceness of the fight would definitely exceed everyone’s imagination, causing massive destruction.

Boom, boom, boom—

The earth was splitting, and with just their initial collision, a terrifying wave of destruction erupted, directly causing several little mountains to fracture and collapse thunderously, dust blasting into the sky.

Furthermore, vast swathes of forests were annihilated, reduced to flat land, and the earth was torn with huge rifts. Countless demonic beasts within were exterminated, none spared.

This was the mighty power of the Martial God Realm, surpassing that of the Innate Realm, possessing true earth-shattering and heaven-splitting might, beyond mortal comprehension.

The Human Clan’s Martial God charged forward, radiating Infinite Light, the Divine Sword sung with a clear ring, slicing out destroying Sword Radiance, severing a little mountain, and even chopping off one of the Octagonal Green Bull’s horns, turning it from then on into a Seven-Horned Green Bull.

"Human, you’ve gone too far, today I will surely let you die."

This aggravated the Octagonal Green Bull completely. The eight massive horns atop its head were not only the weapons of the Octagonal Green Bull but also a symbolic emblem, inviolable.

Now, with one horn chopped off, it was a provocation of its dignity, more important than life and death; immediately dreadful thunder and lightning continuously cleaved forth, tearing the earth, slashing at the Human Clan’s Martial God.

The Human Clan’s Martial God scoffed, "Let me die? You don’t have the qualifications for that, nor does the overlord of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. You need to know that I come from the Martial God Temple. Do you really dare to offend the Martial God Temple?"

"What Martial God Temple? Laughable. If the domain master takes action, let’s see if the Martial God Palace Master dares to fight? Or just worry about your own little life."

Boom—

These two Martial God Realm supreme beings were too powerful. During their battle, they razed the entire area to the ground, fracturing seven or eight little mountains, countless trees toppled, and many demonic beasts perished as collateral damage.

In the end, the two Martial God Realm beings emerged from this mountain range, shifting their battle towards another mountain range, continually fracturing the earth, leaving behind nothing but lifeless wasteland.

Ye Chen watched this departing Martial God Realm battle from a distance, feeling quite moved.

This was the true power of cultivators. Only those who have stepped into the Martial God Realm could be called true cultivators. Anything below the Martial God Realm, even if they were Innate Strong People, didn’t count.

For only by stepping into the Martial God Realm could one truly wield the power of the heavens and the earth, move through the sky, like the immortals and deities believed in by mortals, capable of exerting earth-shaking might with a simple gesture.

While those of the Acquired and Innate realms, no matter how powerful, were limited and could not possess endless power.

Now, he was still some distance away from that realm.

Suddenly, Elder Yan floated out, pointing towards the battleground of the two Martial God Realm beings, saying, "Little Chenzi, make a trip over there. That place holds treasures of great significance."

"Okay!"

Since Elder Yan had spoken, there must be real treasures. Moreover, he was indeed eager to know what treasures were worth the Martial God Realm beings risking life and death for.

Ye Chen, relying on his strong sense of perception, vaguely sensed that the two Martial God Realm beings had left the region far enough, he immediately rushed into the devastated area.

The area, previously dense with forest, had been completely flattened, the destruction severe, several little mountains reduced to ash and smoke, with hardly any part left intact, and the remains of many unlucky demonic beasts that perished in this calamity scattered everywhere, their flesh blurred.

This was the terrifying destructive power of beings from the Martial God Realm, capable of easily obliterating massive mountains.

Yet, there was one area, three meters in radius, that remained completely unaffected, untouched by any of the ravages.

It was a green pond, its waters clear and deep, unfathomable. Above it, a simple stone platform, merely a zhang in circumference, unadorned and plain.

In the center of the stone platform lay a palm-sized, snow-white bone fragment lying quietly, which under the moonlight, flowed with a faint light. Shadows flickered across its surface, appearing to be vague lines flashing by, resembling a map.

Ye Chen gasped, "A Treasure Map?"

This week is over, and as I said at the beginning, if the votes exceed fourteen hundred, I’ll add four more Chapters next week to make up for it. Rest assured; I keep my promises without delay or debt. So, I hope you can give more recommendation tickets and support Xunyue with rewards. Thank you!
