Chapter 1008 - Do You Believe It?

The Warring Nation’s Prince Dawu stood up and gazed intently at Zhuge Qingfeng in the air.

“You don’t have to go that far, Your Majesty. My nephew is exceptionally talented, and now that the immortal sect’s opening is nearly upon us, we would like to borrow the treasure you’ve obtained for use, is that possible?”

As his voice fell, a terrifying, boundless might swept through the void domineeringly. He was an Invincible Legendary realm apex expert.

Like the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation, the Warring Nation was also a ten-thousand-year ancient nation. As its strongest lord, Prince Dawu’s power was beyond question.

Although Zhuge Qingfeng currently stood proudly in the sky, his injuries were severe. He was in no shape to fight another battle. Seeing this, Prince Dawu seized the opportunity and stepped forward.

The Heavenly Goldenrain Nation’s female general Qingluan gazed into the void and said calmly, “Princess Tianluan also has outstanding talent and would also like to borrow the treasure. When she ascends to the heavens through the immortal sect’s gates, Your Majesty will share in the glory.”

The Man Clan and the Li Clan’s experts also stood up in succession. They didn’t say a word, but their stance was clear.

Although Zhuge Qingfeng had killed five Legendary realm apex experts domineeringly in his bout against Lei Dongtian and the others, he had also suffered serious injuries.

Lei Dongtian was no ordinary Invincible Legendary realm expert, and though he was now gravely injured, so was Zhuge Qingfeng.

This was their chance.

Before, none of them could have stood against Zhuge Qingfeng or Lei Dongtian and the other experts of the Sun Moon Divine Sect. But now? Now, things were different.

Zhuge Qingfeng’s gaze swept coldly over the figures below. “It seems like you people are determined to obtain it.”

“Since we have already set foot into the imperial palace, everything is already set in stone. We must obtain it—there is no alternative.” Prince Dawu said, “We only want the treasure, and nothing else.”

“Hahahaha...” Zhuge Qingfeng laughed out loud, looking down. “The immortal sect is about to open, and the entire Tianwu Continent will be caught in a storm once more. I understand your intentions—you are paving the way for your clan’s most outstanding juniors, hoping they will walk the Road of Insurgence, sweep aside the geniuses, suppress the ages, and seize the immortal affinity to ascend to heaven.

His gaze turned sharp. “However, what’s truly laughable is your obsession with mere opportunities and treasures. A true pride of heaven—one who suppresses the ages—is not born from such desperate grasping.”

“That’s our concern, not yours. There’s no need for you to worry about it. For the sake of the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation, I advise you to reconsider,” Prince Dawu said indifferently; it was a thinly veiled threat.

The Holy Spirit Ancient Nation was already in decline. If Zhuge Qingfeng perished, it would spell the nation’s doom.

Suddenly, a brazen voice resounded, drawing sharp gazes from the crowd.

“Hoho, the sovereign’s daughter, Zhuge Mingyue, is a disciple of our Peerless Peak. This is no place for you to throw a fit.”

𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Countless gazes fell on the speaker: Huang Wuji.

Under their scrutiny, he stood tall, utterly unfazed.

The nearby crowd turned their eyes to Huang Wuji, their gazes flickering as murmurs spread among them.

“

Hmm

? Has he gone crazy? How dare he spout such arrogant drivel like this?”

“What did he just say? Peerless Peak? Aren’t they disciples of the True Martial Academy?”

“Peerless Peak? Which force is that? I’ve never heard of them before.”

Many didn’t understand the weight of the words "Peerless Peak," but those like Prince Dawu did.

The moment Huang Wuji uttered those words, Prince Dawu and the others visibly stiffened—their irises shrinking in an instant.

As superpowers of the central continent, they had a good understanding of the nine overlord class forces. With two Void Immortals, the True Martial Academy could be called the number one overlord class force of the Tianwu Continent on the surface.

Naturally, they were also well aware of what the name "Peerless Peak" signified.

Behind the Peerless Peak stood a Void Immortal—Zhang Daoling!

“You people... are from the Peerless Peak!” An expert from the Li Clan swallowed hard, his voice dry.

Everyone knew the reputation of Peerless Peak. Its people were all lunatics. And Zhang Daoling? He was no exception.

“Get lost, all of you.” Huang Wuji’s gaze swept across Prince Dawu and the others, his tone brazen and domineering.

The expressions of those present darkened.

Even if they were from Peerless Peak, weren’t they being a little too arrogant?

They were all respectable figures, with Invincible Legendary realm experts among them. When had they ever been dismissed like this?

All of a sudden, an oppressive aura emanated from Prince Dawu and the others.

“Even if you are from the Peerless Peak, aren’t you disrespecting us too much!” Prince Dawu said coldly.

Huang Wuji looked at Prince Dawu and said with a cold smile, “Yes, I am disrespecting you. So what? Dare you lay a finger on me? This nation is my junior sister Zhuge Mingyue’s home. If you lay a finger on the Holy Spirit Ancient Spirit, it’s the same as laying a finger on our Peerless Peak.”

He paused, then added casually, “And if that happens... the Warring Nation will be wiped out. Do you believe me?”

That statement felt like a sledgehammer smashing into the hearts of the crowd. A rumbling sensation coursed through them, their chests tightening, their breaths turning ragged.

Prince Dawu’s expression also changed drastically.

If these words had come from someone from the Heavenly Lightning Hall, he wouldn’t have hesitated to act.

However, that was Huang Wuji from the Peerless Peak, making his heart tremble.

Does he believe it?

How could he not!

No matter how strong the Warring Nation was, it could definitely not withstand the wrath of a Void Immortal!

Prince Dawu’s complexion turned green, white, and purple in an instant, changing constantly.

Expressions of Qingluan and the experts from the Li Clan and the Man Clan also changed.

The words “Peerless Peak” carried far more weight than even the Heavenly Lightning Hall.

If Huang Wuji and his companions had merely been ordinary disciples of the academy—or even disciples of its other main peaks—things would have been different.

After all, although the True Martial Academy was powerful, wiping out overlord-class forces like theirs was no simple feat.

It would have to consider various factors, and any attempt at extermination would lead to mutual destruction—unless a Void Immortal personally intervened.

However, the Peerless Peak was different.

Although it was only one of the main peaks of the True Martial Academy, with Zhang Daoling, the Peerless Peak was comparable to a tenth overlord class force.

Zhang Daoling could wipe them out alone.

No one doubted Huang Wuji’s words.

Could Chen Fan and the others be lying? No. They could easily defeat those way above their cultivation level. That was the hallmark of the Peerless Peak. And they knew this fact very well.

Ultimately, Prince Dawu became incomparably gloomy and ugly. Without any further words, he led the people of the Warring Nation to leave.

If only his opponent were someone from the Sun Moon Divine Sect... Unfortunately, they weren’t.

If they really made a move and incurred Zhang Daoling’s wrath, they couldn’t bear the consequences.

Seeing Prince Dawu, Qingluan and the experts of the Li Clan and the Man Clan also realized that they couldn’t force Zhuge Qingfeng to hand over the treasure.

Although they had the strength to suppress Huang Wuji’s group, the consequence would be calamity raining down specifically on them.

Soon, the forces that had come to the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation to fish in troubled waters left one after another.

Although indignant, they could only let things go in front of the Peerless Peak.
