Chapter 1853 - Worthy Opponents?
"Those two… is that Ulyzen from the Crimson Rust Sect and Kritika from the Moonstone Veil Sect?"
On the northern hemisphere of the New Era Battle Arena, the Starnova Emperor couldn't help but ask.
His question garnered the attention of the three others before one of them, the Karmic Guardian Emperor, proceeded to explain.
"Indeed, both sects are in the Dual Lotus Manor Territory and are at odds with each other. In terms of prowess, they're only below the Dual Lotus Manor. However, the Crimson Rust Sect is an all-male sect, and the Moonstone Veil Sect is an all-female sect, and they each have a heavy bias against each other that I would say that it is rather surprising to see them form a team for this particular endeavor."
"Oh… but this is quite unexpected..."
"Yes, it is..."
The Starnova Emperor shook his head, "Not that but about the fact that Karmic Guardian Emperor knows about these things. Could it be that the Karmic Guardian Emperor regularly takes time to visit the Dual Lotus Manor Territory…?"
The Karmic Guardian Emperor's expression froze before he couldn't help but scoff.
"Of course not! Don't slander me. My Heaven Gazing Sect has been over there many times to placate and arbitrate the internal turmoil over there. Due to plenty of relationships being involved, it's not a safe place to reside or make a family, you know..."
"Haha, I was just kidding, elder. Please don't take offense. So what about those two other two individuals. Are they any special?"
As the Starnova Emperor spoke, he pointed at two other individuals who vastly stood out from the rest of them, excluding Ulyzen and Kritika.
A green-robed man with a handsome face stood with an amused smile on his face as he waited for his opponents. His eyes were acute, almost needle-like. However, his wrists appeared to be embraced by gauntlets that seemingly had claws extending out of them, carving out to a sharp edge that looked as though it could slice and dice almost everything.
The other youth was also a man, again wearing a green robe, but the patterns were different than the previous green-robed man as they looked cloudy and windy. His appearance was rugged, and he possessed a long, flowing brown hair that seemed to sway with the wind perpetually without end, greatly accentuating his attractiveness.
He seemed like a wise expert but was nothing more than a sixty-year-old, who could be designated as a youth, perhaps even as a child to the many millions who gathered today.
Both of them radiated a unique aura, appearing to even have the eyes of the other participants beside them.
"You see, all four of them have unique physiques. Ulyzen has the Blazing Pure Yang Body, and Kritika possesses the Exquisite Nine Yin Body, both of them at High-Level Emperor Grade. The ones you pointed at are Hayou Azureclaw from the Azureclaw Family and Jambei from the Ascending Path Sect. Both sects hail from my Heaven Gazing Sect Territory and regularly participate in crushing the wicked path forces, and these two have some brotherhood as well."
"However, the peculiarity of Hayou Azureclaw comes from the fact that he molded his dantian to generate terrifying claw energy, making him appear as though he has a unique physique when in reality he has a mutated revolving core."
"Marvelous." The Starnova Emperor seemed genuinely satisfied, "The people who master Sword Laws and make progress in its intents are said to be almost unrivaled in destructive prowess, but then there's a one with a claw? How powerful could he be?"
"Rumor has it that he sliced and fatally wounded a strong Low-Level Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast with a single claw strike, so tell me how strong he is..."
"Haha… What about the other one called Jambei?"
"He has the Formless Breeze Body, a unique physique of the wind attribute. He wasn't this strong when I last heard about him but now, catching hold of him is practically impossible for most Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Experts and even some average Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses. His offensive prowess is unknown as he still hadn't shown what he could do yet."
"I see…"
The Karmic Guardian Emperor explained, causing Starnova Emperor to satisfactorily nod.
The Alstreim Family was powerful? That was already an understood concept. However, just because they were strong doesn't mean that their youths should be weak. Otherwise, they would have to see what is wrong with their teaching methods and would have to review it.
Similar discussions were held on almost every corner of the New Era Battle Arena. They watched the two parties near before things started to unfold as it got interesting.
"Halt!"
Clara and the others stopped as the alliance of sixty-four people addressed them. While they were astonished to see this kind of number existing without any conflict, the other party was astonished to see a majority group of women with only two men approaching them with such guts.
Could it be that they came to surrender?
However, noticing that the confirmed successor of the Heaven Mandate Emperor was also there, looking gorgeously beautiful and breathtaking, they couldn't help but doubt if she had something up her sleeves, like settling for a negotiation of some sort like they had come to, wanting to battle after taking out the others.
"Why are we stopping? Let's battle~"
Clara sounded genuinely confused, causing all of them to become dumbfounded.
"You… you want to attack us?"
Ulyzen stepped forward at this moment, his gaze appearing to become hostile.
"That's what I said."
"…"
Silence became glaring in this region, surrounded by many crevices before their expressions all changed.
"Pftt! Ahahaha!"
Many of them began to hold their stomachs as they laughed. However, the four distinguished youths, as well as a few other people, still looked solemn. The ones who were laughing noticed that the strong or smart ones in their group weren't laughing, causing them to quickly shut their mouths as they looked confused, wondering what was going on.
"Fine, then don't say later that we didn't give you a chance to change sides."
As far as they were considered, they didn't want to offend the successor of the Heaven Mandate Temple, otherwise known as the Emperor of Death's little sister. As for the Emperor of Death's family and wives, they felt that it should be alright if they didn't gravely injure them.
"You little pipsqueak with the tiny amount of yang that won't satisfy any women. Come, you're my opponent."
At this moment, a golden-robed youth flamboyantly appeared as he pointed at Ulyzen and gestured towards the side, causing the latter's expression to change as he couldn't believe that there was someone who dared to publicly slander and humiliate him.
However, looking at the emblem of the Dual Lotus Manor, he harrumphed.
"Just because my Crimson Rust Sect is under your power's subordination doesn't mean anything in this competition. In the first place, who are you? I've never even heard of you in the Dual Lotus Manor. The same goes for that woman beside you whom I bet couldn't bear the aroma of your countless farts every single day."
He pointed at Kara Moonridge and smiled in derision. It caused the women in both conflicting groups to gasp as they couldn't help feel nauseous from his words.
"Woah, a worthy opponent..."
Drake Blackburn's eyes shone with killing intent. His undulations began to revolve as a blazing heat began to envelop the surroundings as a five-kilometer Perfect Domain appeared, filled with intense yang energy that sought to forcibly destroy everything in its wake.
"However, I'm pretty sure I'm unleashing those aromatic farts on the beautiful faces of your women too! Ask them how it smelt and even tasted!"
"You…!"
*Boom!~*
Ulyzen launched himself at Drake as Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage undulations brewed, fueled with utter anger.
