When system cheat becomes rampant!
Chapter 732 - 538: Eternal Night Sovereign (4000 words)_2

A phantom shadow appeared beside Xiang Beifei, which turned out to be Xiang Qingde.

"The Yellow Springs water of the Moon Realm?" Xiang Beifei inquired.

"Legend has it that the Yellow Springs water is formed from the flesh and blood of countless beings; it's a great river that leads to the very end of the Abyss of Death, filled with a vast amount of deathly aura. This aura has naturally formed over millions of years and is not composed of Spiritual Power," Xiang Qingde explained.

"Grandfather, have you been there?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Once, and I had some issues with the guy in there." Xiang Qingde nodded slightly.

"Who is this guy?"

"Someone who calls himself the 'Eternal Night Sovereign,' the leader of the Moon God Race," Xiang Qingde replied.

Xiang Beifei wasn't very familiar with the Moon God Race and was quite curious.

"How powerful is this Eternal Night Sovereign?" Xiang Beifei inquired.

"Above the Heavenly Connection realm," Xiang Qingde said.

Xiang Beifei was slightly startled!

The strongest martial artist on the Jiuzhou continent is currently Elder Luo, but his power is only at the Heavenly Connection realm.

Yet the power of this Eternal Night Sovereign is above the Heavenly Connection realm!

"What issue did Grandfather have with this Eternal Night Sovereign?" Xiang Beifei asked in surprise.

Xiang Qingde looked at the Yellow Springs water and said, ""The power of the Moon God Race comes from the moon and the Yellow Springs water. The Moon God Race willingly sacrifices their souls to the Yellow Springs, becoming its slaves, to draw powerful forces from the springs. You have seen the kind of power they possess; relying on the late-stage orifice transforming realm, they are able to exert the power of the Heavenly Connection realm.

That is to say, this race has a natural advantage! With the help of the Yellow Springs water, they are able to exert the power above their own realm. In the late stage of God Refining, they can contend with the early stage of orifice transforming."

Xiang Beifei was extremely surprised; it was as if each Meat-Winged Monster was born able to battle across realms, making this group of monsters terrifyingly powerful!

Xiang Qingde continued, ""However, the Yellow Springs require the shattered flesh and blood of countless beings to fill it, so these members of the Moon God Race travel everywhere to find powerful beings, to kill them, and turn their bodies into bloody water to pour into the Yellow Springs.

The stronger the being is in life, the more it can enhance the Yellow Springs. These monsters roam the desolate lands searching for various races, capturing and slaughtering them, blending them into the Yellow Springs—until one day, they discovered the existence of humanity."

"Though they always claim that humans are a despicable race, deep down they know very well that humans are the most perfect race in this world. Just look at the form they use for disguise, all races mainly target human form for evolution—There's a huge number of humans on the Jiuzhou continent, and both their bodies and souls are very powerful. Sacrificing a human is equivalent to killing dozens of desolate beasts, which to them is a tempting offering. Thus, they set their sights on the Jiuzhou continent and launched an attack."

"When did this happen?"

"Over a hundred years ago, the Eternal Night Sovereign led the Moon God Race to enslave the Jiuzhou continent, treating humans as sacrificial offerings to the Yellow Springs. I had no choice but to take action," Xiang Qingde recounted.

"It's not written in the history books."

Xiang Beifei remembered the history of the Jiuzhou continent well, but he didn't recall such a battle with the Rain Moon God Race in its history.

After a moment of silence, Xiang Qingde slowly said:

"Because I was the only one in that battle."

Xiang Beifei was extremely shocked!

"Grandfather defeated the Meat-Winged Monster race alone?" Xiang Beifei was staggeringly astounded.

Xiang Qingde smiled faintly: "I detected it in advance and didn't let them get close to Jiuzhou because I knew Jiuzhou's walls couldn't stop that guy from the Eternal Night. If the battle were near Jiuzhou, it would have destroyed the continent, so I intercepted those fellows in the outer areas."

He reminisced about the past with a touch of sentiment, saying, ""The Yellow Springs water is much stronger in the hands of the Eternal Night than ordinary people, but I still managed to defeat him. Unfortunately, I didn't kill him; he escaped with the help of the Yellow Springs water."

Xiang Qingde spoke of it lightly, as if such a battle was a matter of no importance.

However, Xiang Beifei could imagine just how terrifying that battle was!

A terror from the Immortal Realm, not something to be mentioned lightly! Such a level of battle was beyond Xiang Beifei's imagination, akin to an upheaval of heaven and earth.

If it weren't for his grandfather's intervention, the entire Jiuzhou might have been destroyed long ago!

Yet all of this, nobody on the Jiuzhou continent knew!

They didn't even know that a powerful master named "Xiang Qingde" saved the Jiuzhou continent a hundred years ago!

Xiang Beifei pursed his lips and said, "No one in Jiuzhou is clear about this matter."

Xiang Qingde smiled calmly and said, "What would it change if they knew? It would only increase panic unnecessarily."

Such a degree of battle was beyond the capability of anyone in Jiuzhou to intervene; knowing wouldn't help.

For a master of his caliber, fame and fortune were like passing clouds.

"What happened after?" Xiang Beifei inquired.

"I sent Eternal Night back, and I reckon he won't consider attacking Jiuzhou for a long time. It will take him centuries to recover. Even if he does, as long as I am here, he wouldn't dare to come," Xiang Qingde explained.

"But Grandfather's strength is no longer there!" Xiang Beifei said in a grave voice.

Xiang Qingde was slightly taken aback.

"I always forget that fact."

He sighed lightly; the him before them was just a powerful consciousness left from the past. When he left this consciousness, his strength was still intact, and he feared nothing, even if he were to battle Eternal Night again.

However, the latter-day him had no knowledge of what had transpired. The only thing that he could be certain of now was that he no longer had his former strength.

If the Moon God Race's Eternal Night were to revive and make a comeback, then the current Jiuzhou would absolutely be unable to withstand the onslaught!

"However, they probably still don't know that something has happened to me. I think, until Eternal Night is certain of this, he wouldn't dare to come carelessly," said Xiang Qingde.

This was indeed true.

As long as this matter remained secret, Eternal Night would always be wary of Xiang Qingde and wouldn't make a move. If Eternal Night decided to act against Jiuzhou, he would have to ensure Xiang Qingde wasn't present.

But Xiang Beifei couldn't completely guarantee that such a thing wouldn't happen because the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage race had already infiltrated Jiuzhou, and now, with the Meat-Winged Monster and the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage potentially joining forces, there was no telling what information they might uncover.

Xiang Qingde said, "If you encounter these Meat-Winged Monsters you spoke of, make sure not to engage them at night, because they can draw on the power of moonlight and their strength will double. You were quite fortunate today."

"I understand."

Xiang Beifei had a basic understanding of the Meat-Winged Monsters, which would be a great help to him as he moved forward.

Xiaohei was circling around the Huangquan water. Since Huangquan water isn't Spiritual Power, it couldn't be treated like a spiritual power crystal, which made it somewhat disillusioned.

But then it seemed to remember something, stretched out a little dog paw, and dipped it into the Huangquan water as if trying to catch something.

"Be careful, Huangquan water is highly corrosive," Xiang Beifei warned.

"Woof woof!"

But Xiaohei didn't seem to care much. It desperately scratched at the Huangquan water for a long time as if trying to grasp something, but its paws were too short to reach. Finally, it simply dunked its head into the water, leaving only its round butt and short legs outside, twisting about.

The highly corrosive Huangquan water couldn't harm Xiaohei at all!

Xiang Beifei touched his forehead, almost forgetting Xiaohei's tough and thick-skinned nature. This little fellow's combat capability wasn't high on ordinary days, but its thick skin was impervious even to a mound spirit.

Realizing it still couldn't reach, Xiaohei simply climbed into the Huangquan water. The eerie creatures started to grab at it, pulling its fur. Seemingly annoyed by the grabbing, Xiaohei opened its mouth wide and snapped randomly—biting at whoever grabbed it!

This scene also left Xiang Beifei torn between laughter and tears.

The Huangquan monsters probably never dreamed that this dog would be more bizarre than they were. With a single bite, Xiaohei would sever their limbs, and the monsters, in shock and terror, recoiled away in retreat.

Xiaohei fought its way through the creatures. Within that mass of Huangquan, it was fiercer than the monsters themselves, and soon burrowed into the middle, disappearing from sight.

Xiaohei was like a catfish diving into a school of sardines. The monsters in the Huangquan worried less about harming each other and were disturbed by Xiaohei, frantically trying to squeeze their way out. The whole pool of Huangquan water became extremely chaotic; it seemed the creatures feared Xiaohei and were unwilling to stay with it.

Xiang Beifei and Xiang Qingde looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What is the little guy looking for?" Xiang Qingde asked with interest.

"I don't know; it said it seemed to have seen something," Xiang Beifei replied, not very sure himself.
