Chapter 1152: Nanyuan Ruin (2)

Wu Ji snorted before looking at the blood fire devil with contempt, "Count yourself lucky. The blood fire devils are my favorite devils to kill."

The blood fire devil expert did not seem to care. He said, "It's fine. You're free to kill more. My race does not lack experts."

Yes. His answer was surprisingly simple. His race did not lack experts. Losing some here and there did not matter to them. Excluding the Invincibles, they had just as many experts as the original devils.

How did they produce so many experts? Combat. That was the most straightforward way to produce experts. Of course, one was not guaranteed to grow just by fighting. But the blood fire devils were special as they simply needed to fight, win, loot, and go back home. The devil race as a whole was left to clear up the mess caused by them.

In a way, that was the price for having the blood fire devils as the vanguard of the devil race. They had lost a lot of people over the years, but they had also profited massively. At this time, a different group of youths started stepping out of the realm entrance, accompanied by their dao protectors.

The humans had complicated expressions when they saw these people. The lower-ranked individuals did not know too much about these people, but the higher echelons of humanity knew very well about them.

Of the newly arrived youths, some were subtle, some were arrogant, and some were cautious. For many of them, this was their first time in the Human Realm. As they arrived, silence descended.

Of the myriad race geniuses, some started laughing while some remained indifferent. Some also started throwing glances at Mo Duona and the other top geniuses, but these top geniuses simply ignored all of them.

After some time, Mo Duona stepped forth and said, "I'm paying Nanyuan a visit. That's Su Yu's place of birth. I wonder if it will produce a second Su Yu."

He was only interested in Su Yu. Nobody else could catch his attention.

At this time, the newly arrived youths started speaking through voice transmission, "Test their strength. These people are probably the so-called index geniuses. The prefect told us to test their strength..."

"Be careful. Don't underestimate them. These index geniuses are no pushovers."

"We're multiple character cultivators. We are unrivaled within the same cultivation level. What's there to fear?"

While some were conversing discreetly, some remained completely still. They did not rush forward impatiently to display their strength. Some of them were already the little overlords of the minor realms they came from. They had also survived countless dangerous situations. Thus, they were not exactly hot-headed fools.

Even the more arrogant ones among them remained silent. So what if they were arrogant? They would remain arrogant without picking fights. At times, presenting a haughty attitude was a way to protect themselves. If they were haughty enough, others would be wary of them.

At this moment, several youths stepped out from the group of newcomers, attracting the attention of the myriad race geniuses.

One of them was a short-haired man. First, he grinned. But suddenly, his expression changed as he roared, "Audacious! How dare you touch me? Activate our formation! We have an enemy to kill!"

Instantly, the three individuals with him released numerous characters and sealed a nearby devil genius. Then, the short-haired man manifested a sword before stabbing at the devil. Facing the incoming attack, the devil roared. With a rumble, the characters around him were sent flying away.

But at that point, the sword of the short-haired youth had already stabbed through the devil's head. With blood dripping down his face, the devil's expression turned ferocious.

"You're courting death!"

Boom!

A punch was thrown. The short-haired man's expression changed as he hurriedly dragged his three companions and formed a curtain with characters. The curtain wrapped around them before vanishing into thin air.

Everything had happened quickly.

The devil genius roared furiously, "You're courting death!"

Meanwhile, the other human youths remained indifferent as they started analyzing the short exchange.

One of them laughed, "That's unrelated to us. We don't even know them. Go look for them if you're angry. Alright, everyone. This is where we split. We'll be returning to our respective prefectures."

At the same time, the human youths were conversing through voice transmission.

"A devil genius at the ninth-stage Cloudbreach Realm, ranked seventeenth in the Profound Index. But even someone like him is already such a difficult opponent."

"Was that guy Shang Ming from Great Shang? Even when the four of them were working together, the devil was still able to break through the seal. Shang Ming is a ninth-stage Cloudbreach as well. But his sword strike actually failed to kill a Profound Index genius."

They were quite shocked by what they saw.

Shang Ming was also a multiple character cultivator. And he was also a genius. He had worked with three other geniuses to instantly seal the devil before attacking. But the devil was actually able to instantly break free. That was quite a terrifying sight.

Were Profound Index geniuses really so strong? While the human geniuses were conversing through voice transmissions, the devil genius was left standing there in fury. He wanted to take his revenge, but his attackers had fled. When he looked at the others, he noted that they were all staying in groups. All in all, there were about a hundred of them.

Meanwhile, the myriad race geniuses were merely watching with amused expressions. They were also trying to see through the strength of these human geniuses. None of them showed any interest in helping.

"Mo Duona!" The devil roared, "They sneak attacked me! And they took advantage of their numbers to step on me! Are you ignoring this as well?"

Mo Duona, who was already quite far away, felt quite helpless after hearing that. Without saying anything, he threw a punch.

Boom!

About a kilometer away, an explosion erupted midair, revealing a floating bundle. With another explosion, the bundle exploded.

Shang Ming and the others were revealed. With the damage to their characters, all four of them started coughing blood. His expression pale, Shang Ming did not hesitate to manifest another character before vanishing with his companions.

All of them were ninth-stage Cloudbreaches. So was Mo Duona. That single punch shocked countless people. Was this the strength of someone at the top of the Heaven Index?

A casual punch from a kilometer away was actually capable of gravely injuring four decently strong individuals? It was even possible that they had also lost a few of their characters from that single punch.

Mo Duona was not interested in giving chase. Rather, he turned to look at the others and indifferently said, "I'm not your dao protector. I'm also not obligated to protect you. I have my own things to do. You are free to do what you want, but if you end up dying, that won't be my business either. I acted once for you today since I'm here. But there won't be a second time."

Then, he looked at the human youths. With the same indifference, he said, "Do not provoke me. You are unqualified. But if death is the only way you can learn, I won't mind killing all of you either."

Absolute silence descended.

With a smile, Mo Duona turned and continued walking away. As his purple hair fluttered about, he spoke again, "If Su Yu is willing to leave his city, I won't mind having a spar with him. Otherwise, forget it. After the previous incident, I'm not going to enter his city ever again."

Su Yu was the only opponent he was interested in. But that was only if they fought outside the ancient city. After all, Su Yu enjoyed scheming too much. It would be much better for them to fight outside the ancient city instead.

Zhan Wushuang and the other top geniuses also remained indifferent. They did not spare any of the other geniuses a glance. These top geniuses were all incredibly proud. It was beneath them to fight these people.

One after another, they left the place.

How dull.

Even if there were Sunmoons among the human geniuses, they were still bored by what they saw here. Sunmoon? It wasn't like they had never killed Sunmoons before. What was so special about that realm? As of that moment, it was as though the entire Allheaven Prefecture had sank into silence.

Among the human geniuses, one of them laughed in a self-mocking manner and said, "Looks like we have been ignored. These index geniuses have zero interest in us."

That was the truth. Even after what Shang Ming and his companions did to one of the devils, they still failed to catch the attention of the top geniuses.

A different person said calmly, "This isn't a bad thing. If they are uninterested in us, so be it. We can take this as a learning experience."

There weren't that many experts to be found in minor realms. Thus, this was the chance for them to expand their horizons. Even now, they could feel the auras of numerous Sunmoons. These auras weren't even that obvious yet since none of these Sunmoons was in a fight. Perhaps even more spectacular scenes were waiting for them in the future.

At this moment, someone laughed and said, "Human geniuses, do not be scared off by them. They're deliberately showing off."

A yellowish humanoid life form stepped forth and grinned, "I'm from the five elemental race, a friendly race of the humans! My name is Topsoil Spirit. Let's be friends. We're all new here so we should be making friendships, not war!"

The others looked at him silently. Topsoil Spirit...that was a familiar name. Some of them were tempted to actually reply. But before anyone could do anything, a massive mountain descended upon Topsoil Spirit.

"Fuck!"

With a curse, Topsoil Spirit roared, "Shi Zun, what do you think you're doing?"

Boom!

As the mountain crashed onto the ground, a humanoid being with a body of stone stepped forth. "I've been finding you an eyesore for quite a while. I'm glad you're here. This time, I'll surely kill you!"

Rumble!

Instantly, an intense battle erupted. The earth split as Topsoil Spirit dove underground. In the air, Shi Zun continued bombarding Topsoil Spirit with one mountain after another. In the blink of an eye, the two had moved far away from the gathering spot.

All the onlookers were left stupefied. Those two...were incredibly strong as well. In fact, they felt as strong as Mountainseas! Were they Earth Index geniuses? Were Earth Index geniuses this strong?

They were all fellow Cloudbreaches. How was the gap between them so big? Mo Duona, Topsoil Spirit, Shang Ming...it was as though all of them were at entirely different levels of cultivation.

The expressions of the newly arrived multiple character cultivators started changing. They were not weak either. But why were there so many freaks among these myriad race geniuses?

Shan Xiong was someone capable of defeating numerous multiple character geniuses all by himself. But even someone like him was only able to enter the Yellow Index initially. He had only entered the Profound Index recently.

In fact, Shan Xiong had never been defeated before. He had only suffered his first defeat upon encountering Su Yu.

In short, most of the people here were probably weaker than Shan Xiong as well. And if they couldn't even compare against Shan Xiong, the gap between them and those in the Earth Heaven Indexes would naturally be big.

In fact, even as a major realm, the Human Realm did not have a single genius in the Heaven Index. Previously, Su Yu and Qin Fang were the only human geniuses to have entered the Heaven Index.

After Su Yu's name was removed from the Heaven Index, Soulcurse of the celestial chasm race was promoted into the Heaven Index. The many geniuses trained by the influential families of humanity were unable to even enter the Heaven Index. As for these secret geniuses trained in minor realms, some of them might be strong, but they were definitely not comparable to the truly freakish geniuses.

The sudden battle between Topsoil Spirit and Shi Zun had demoralized quite a lot of people. As for the senior experts from the human and other races, they merely observed in silence. Nobody interfered. If these geniuses couldn't even get over something like this, they might as well stop calling themselves geniuses. They had to deal with this themselves.

Over the years, numerous so-called geniuses had entered the Allheaven Battlefield proudly only to lose all confidence. In the Allheaven Battlefield, there was never a lack of geniuses and powerful individuals capable of killing them with a single punch. If they couldn't even pick themselves up after a minor setback like this, they wouldn't be able to go far in the path of cultivation.
