Chapter 1334 - Chapter 1334 Chapter 1198 First Battle Half-demon Bai Yu

Chapter 1334: Chapter 1198: First Battle, Half-demon Bai Yu! Chapter 1334: Chapter 1198: First Battle, Half-demon Bai Yu! Li Xu’s lineage had been restless for some time, and with five days left until the battle, Li Xu stood on a high place in the Heavenly Mountains and told his subordinates, “What you see to the west will become a slave land. When it comes to treating slaves, your nature should not require me to tell you what to do.”

New Moon Land itself had never really caught Li Xu’s eye, but as adventurers had been reporting back recently, there were many secrets yet to be unearthed in New Moon Land. Specifically, the holy lands possessed by the Three Great Palaces, and unique, independent spaces such as Immortal City and Seal Tower were exceedingly rare in the Outer World.

Independent spaces were indeed scarce outside. The fact that a small Third-level Border City had ten independent spaces indicated that the territory was not as simple as they initially assessed.

Therefore, after learning about the situation, Li Xu’s desire to possess New Moon Land grew stronger, regretting that he had not sent people earlier to take complete control here, wasting a great deal of resources.

However, it was not a big deal. After the battle for independence, the people here would become slaves, and New Moon Land would then completely fall as a resource-producing land for Cloud Realm. If those independent spaces had more potential for exploitation, it wouldn’t take long for Cloud Realm to ascend to a Level Eight Territory.

By reaching Level Eight Territory status, Cloud Realm would finally have real power of speech throughout the entire Earth Realm.

Li Xu had already planned his future development. For this reason, he had specifically ordered the army to garrison in the west ahead of time, so that right after the battle ended, they could immediately establish control and then start his ambitious plans!

It wasn’t that Li Xu looked down on Chu Mu and the others’ strength, but was there really a need for the great Li Clan to hold someone from a Third-level Earthly Realm in such high regard? This was like comparing a village soldier to a grandmaster from a major city.

Time passed slowly, and when the day of the battle for independence arrived with the red sun slowly rising enshrouded in mist, Li Xu had already led many experts to ascend the high places of the Heavenly Mountains.

The mountain ranges of Heavenly Mountains rose up one after another, like a screen between heaven and earth. They stood majestically and solemnly, cold and awe-inspiring in this white, frost-covered world.

The light of the early sun made the white snow reveal brilliant golden hues, creating a sublime scene that left the spectators going to watch the battle in awe.

Climbing up high, the cold had already infiltrated the soul, causing even Soul Emperor-level Strong Ones to tremble.

The members of Divine Sect had already scouted the location for the battle. To the north of Cloud Gate lay a vast expanse of undulating white mountain ranges. Observers could all gather on the main peak of Heavenly Mountains to watch the battle, while the participants could fight within the endless rugged mountain ridges.

In the frosty Frost River within the cold mountain range, Main Judge Lu Yuqin, clad in a cyan-colored robe tied at the waist, stood proudly alone on the high peak of the snowy mountain. She appeared somewhat thin, yet her thinness was also strikingly attractive, and the cold demeanor she exuded blended well with the surrounding Frost River and icebergs.

Perhaps, in the hearts of many strong ones, this cold and independent woman brought forth a chill that was even more piercing than the entire Heavenly Mountains.

After gazing quietly at the snowy world for a long time, Lu Yuqin appeared somewhat preoccupied. When she turned around, however, she found that the people from New Moon Land and Li Xu’s lineage were already standing twenty meters behind her, with no one presumptuously approaching to disturb her thoughts.

Maintaining such a distance from others was something Lu Yuqin had become accustomed to, and her gaze fell on the people from New Moon Land.

The first to catch Lu Yuqin’s attention was Bai Yu, wearing a black coat.

Lu Yuqin found it strange that, despite the man being very young, his demeanor and expression seemed overly mature, even somewhat withered.

Bai Yu had not been out of arduous training for long, and had not fully suppressed the Demon Flame within his body, so his entire person seemed to emit an evil and chilling aura.

“Are you the Abnormal Human from the Abnormal Series?” Lu Yuqin, sensing the Demon Flame burning inside Bai Yu, asked.

The term “Abnormal Series” was actually only used by Divine Sect. With the vast world full of wonders, so-called ‘Abnormal Humans’ refer to special beings composed of a human soul sharing a body with a Soul Pet’s Spirit, a trait recorded in the books of Divine Sect but rarely seen in reality.

Bai Yu nodded; there was nothing to deny, as he had already made a deep impression on many people in the Demon Spirit Mountain Range and Wen City–Lu Yuqin could have guessed that the Demon Man was indeed him.

Lu Yuqin also nodded in response and did not ask further, instead turning her attention to Liu Binglan.

She looked at Liu Binglan a little longer; Liu Binglan was dressed in a snow-white wind robe that day, and the long snowy robe wonderfully accented her graceful, soft figure, mature, composed, and dignified. Coupled with a face cold as frost, Liu Binglan’s appearance instantly caught the eyes of many, including Lu Yuqin, who gazed at her for a long time.

There were two reasons why Lu Yuqin stared at Liu Binglan. The first was, of course, sensing a familiar essence from the woman, which resonated with her own spirit of serenity and the disposition and temperament shaped by holding a high position.

Of course, Lu Yuqin could also tell that the other woman was certainly not entirely serene in heart; at least, she could see that the other must already be a mother.

The second reason was the woman’s eyes.

Her pupils shone with a purple luster. All of the humans from New Moon Land had black pupils, representing the Common Human Sub-clan, the equivalent of the War General Level Human.

To Lu Yuqin’s surprise, the Venerate of New Moon Land’s Three Great Palaces was from the Human Imperial Clan, with pupils emitting a purple glow, signifying her purest bloodline of the purple-eyed Imperial Clan.

Lu Yuqin said nothing, just watched her for a long time.

Suddenly, she noticed a ring on Liu Binglan’s ring finger, a ring that seemed familiar to Lu Yuqin.

“Was that ring given to you by someone?” Lu Yuqin asked.

Liu Binglan looked at the ring she was wearing and was somewhat baffled by Lu Yuqin’s question.

The ring itself held no special significance; it was simply a gift from Chu Tianmang from when they were together long ago. He had told her it was made of a special type of jade that could detect the other’s location.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi also had this type of jade, which Liu Binglan had seen. But for some reason, the jade in her ring had stopped functioning. No matter how much Soul Sense she poured into it, she could no longer perceive Chu Tianmang’s location.

Lui Binglan wore it not because she missed the man particularly, but because it at least kept those with intentions at bay, as wearing the ring signified that she was married.

Liu Binglan didn’t answer Lu Yuqin’s question, but the astute Liu Binglan could guess that Lu Yuqin must have encountered Chu Tianmang, seeing as he also possessed a similar ring.

When Lu Yuqin saw she wasn’t getting a response, she didn’t pursue it further. Instead, her gaze swept over the people of New Moon Land, and she spoke slowly, “Chu Mu didn’t come?”

“He’s on his way,” Liu Binglan said.

Liu Binglan had asked Ye Qingzi to wait in Wanxiang City for Chu Mu to arrive together since Ye Qingzi could sense Chu Mu’s location, so Liu Binglan knew that Chu Mu was already on his way here.

“The time has been set, and if he fails to appear, it will be considered a forfeit. Since the two of you are the vice lords of the domain, then you should accept the challenges from the lords of the Cloud Realm first,” Lu Yuqin stated.

“Who will go first in battle?” Lu Yuqin inquired.

Liu Binglan and Bai Yu exchanged a look, and Bai Yu said, “I’ll go first.”

Liu Binglan nodded in agreement.

At that moment, the voices of the Morning Crown Prince, Ye Wansheng, Teng Lang, Shen Mo, and others came from behind them, “Uncle Bai Yu, it’s all up to you now.”

Bai Yu still had that same cold demeanor. He stepped directly into the void and walked towards the expansive, boundless battlefield in the midst of the Ice Mist Mountain Range.

Ghost Jinrou, hiding behind Mu Qingyi, watched her father step forward, feeling somewhat troubled inside.

This independent battle could have been delayed for a few years until everyone was stronger before being initiated. However, because of her own situation, everyone had to face it with such haste.

Now her father Bai Yu went forth to face the enemy, confronting the much larger and stronger forces of the Cloud Realm compared to those of Wanxiang City. Watching his figure, which showed not the slightest hesitation, it seemed that as long as it involved her, he would silently step forward without a word…

As she watched, a sour feeling began to well up inside Ghost Jinrou. She had never felt what it was like to have a father for over twenty years, but during the years she was asleep and turned into a ghost, she came to understand.

Bai Yu wasn’t fond of talking, and his bones revealed a kind of wildness.

He didn’t immediately transform into a half-demon. Suspended arrogantly above that continuous stretch of Ice Mist Mountains, he emanated an air of supreme confidence.

“Is he that demon man??”

“Yes, during the struggle for the Magic Spirits in Guangtong Lost Realm, he was besieged by dozens of Dominator-level powerhouses, yet he managed to kill most of them!”

“Why does he look no different from us, normal people?”

The people from the Cloud Realm and other territories discussed amongst themselves upon seeing Bai Yu appear on the battlefield.

The demon man, a very rare breed among the human race, drew many here because of their interest in the power of a demon man.

Almost everyone who came to watch the battle from New Moon Land knew Bai Yu, with many having seen him before.

This Demon Emperor, who had been Sealed for nearly twenty years and then awakened, once brought two disasters to New Moon Land that nearly led to its annihilation.

The structural changes in New Moon Land also seemed to be inseparable from this man. Both half-demon incidents heralded epochal changes.

Now, this half-demon Bai Yu, once a cause of worldwide panic, no longer made the people of New Moon Land fearfully change color at the mention of his name. Instead, he gradually became New Moon Land’s second most admired and respected powerhouse.

Today, this Demon Emperor who is loved and respected, yet again a half-demon Bai Yu that makes the whole world anxious, is about to fight for the complete independence of New Moon Land. This battle, regardless of its outcome, is destined to change the structure that New Moon Land had for thousands of years and begin a new chapter in history. Whether it will be a fresh start of self-rule or a decline into decay, will be determined by this Demon Emperor Bai Yu.
