Chapter 857: Chapter 784: Agreement Reached

It had to be said, the methods of a Rank Four Immortal were simply on another level. Previously, Xuanyuan Zhan had shown off his Thunder Law Power to Tu Xiao’an. Within the boundless Thunder Sea, all sorts of Divine Weapons had materialized. It was an incredibly dazzling display.

Before this, Tu Xiao’an had used his Elemental Ability quite casually, with almost no change in its physical form. This wasn’t an issue with his ability, but rather a lack of wild imagination.

Now that Tu Xiao’an had evolved Thunder Power, he had stolen the spatial imagination from the knowledge of others. The Thunderbolt Treasure Tower, Thunderbolt Divine Sword, and Thunderous Celestial Saber were hurled into the deep crater as if they cost him nothing. The opportunity to beat a Rank Four underdog while he was down was a once-in-a-lifetime chance!

However, there was no conflict between the Demon Race and the Water Race, and this was Tu Xiao’an’s first time meeting the Asura King. There was no deep-seated blood feud between them. But that bastard was just too ugly and acted incredibly arrogant. Tu Xiao’an was determined to beat him to death.

So what if he was Rank Four? He couldn’t even block a single punch from Tu Xiao’an’s son!

At this moment, the experts of the Water Race watched in terror. They wanted to intervene, but since the Asura King had personally ordered them to stop earlier, they didn’t dare to make a move. One by one, they stared with horrified eyes as various Divine Weapons materialized in the endless Thunder Sea and relentlessly bombarded the deep crater. The continuous, miserable screams of the Asura King echoed from the crater, making everyone’s scalp tingle with fear.

The experts of the Human Race were similarly disturbed by the sight. They wondered how the mighty Asura King could be brutally crushed like this, and what kind of terrifying existence that five-meter-tall giant was.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Zhan’s pupils contracted. He stared at the five-meter giant in disbelief and muttered to himself, "Ancient Demon. It’s actually an Ancient Demon! How could such an Ancient Demon still exist in this world!"

The scene of the Ancient Demon calling that snake "Daddy" was especially difficult for Xuanyuan Zhan to bear; it completely shattered his worldview. In the legends, Ancient Demons were lawless, world-destroying existences that fed on dragons. Yet now, one was calling a snake its father. Who would dare to believe it?

Suddenly, a gaze landed on Xuanyuan Zhan. Being as sensitive as he was, he immediately caught it. He found Tu Xiao’an staring at him with a mocking look, before uttering a sentence that made Xuanyuan Zhan feel entirely unwell.

"Good son, go give that man a punch too. Remember to aim for the face."

If the Asura King was considered ugly, then Xuanyuan Zhan was absolutely not. In fact, he was extremely handsome—the type of ridiculously good-looking man that turned heads. Tu Xiao’an couldn’t stand seeing someone extremely ugly, but he couldn’t stand seeing someone more handsome than himself even more.

Xuanyuan Zhan cursed internally, "Holy shit!"

He nearly jumped out of his skin. An instinctive sense of crisis emerged because the Ancient Demon’s eyes immediately locked onto him following Tu Xiao’an’s words. One glance. Just a single glance was enough to envelop him in a sense of suffocation. That gaze contained an unparalleled oppressive aura—one that even a Rank Four Immortal found hard to withstand calmly.

SWISH!

Xuanyuan Zhan abruptly vanished from his spot. In the blink of an eye, he was already ten kilometers away.

The crowd was left speechless. They wondered how a Rank Four Immortal could be such a coward.

Xuanyuan Zhan cursed inwardly, "Idiots, do you even know what Level of existence that giant is? Is this really the time to worry about saving face? If I’m not careful, I might lose my life!"

"Xuanyuan Zhan, does my Demon Race have the qualifications to participate or not? You tell me!" Tu Xiao’an spoke in a threatening tone.

Even though the immortal had flashed ten kilometers away, Tu Xiao’an didn’t order his invincible son to chase after him. He had just been deliberately scaring him. This invincible son was far too strong and couldn’t strike recklessly; doing so could easily awaken the Reincarnation Tree.

Quietly, Tu Xiao’an made a bold prediction. If the Reincarnation Tree truly awakened, who would be stronger—this tree or his invincible son? They were both existences from Ancient Times.

However, Artifact Spirit Xiaoyang had told Tu Xiao’an that although his invincible son possessed a newly born sentience and had inherited the Ancient Demon’s body, he didn’t have full access to its capabilities. For instance, the new sentience couldn’t grasp the Ancient Demon’s past methods or Divine Techniques. Right now, he was relying entirely on the raw physical strength of the body.

Even so, that brute force alone was enough to effortlessly crush Rank Four existences. If this invincible son could eventually master some of the Ancient Demon’s past Divine Techniques, he would become even stronger. This Ancient Demon’s body was essentially a massive treasure trove. As for how much of that treasure could be excavated, it all depended on fate.

Facing Tu Xiao’an’s interrogation, Xuanyuan Zhan’s face twitched. He looked at the Ancient Demon from afar and gritted his teeth. "I will also allow your Demon Race to join. When facing these Ancient Ruins, our Humans and Demons should naturally coexist peacefully and point our weapons at external threats."

"Hmph, so you finally know how to speak like a reasonable person," Tu Xiao’an scoffed coldly. Inwardly, however, he was thrilled. This son of his was truly useful! There was a good reason why Xuanyuan Zhan’s attitude changed so quickly. After all, a single punch had left the Asura King unable to get up, and a mere glance had terrified Xuanyuan Zhan into instinctively fleeing.

"When the first fruit of the Reincarnation Tree falls, my Demon Race will take it!" Tu Xiao’an declared. He didn’t know the meaning of quitting while he was ahead.

Xuanyuan Zhan shouted his reply from a distance, "If the Asura King agrees, I have no problem with it."

"I agree as well! Hurry up and stop!" The Asura King’s weak voice echoed from within the deep crater.

The experts of the Human Race and the Water Race exchanged bewildered glances. The three big shots had finally reached an agreement.

With a wave of Tu Xiao’an’s hand, the endless Thunder Sea above the crater dissipated. Immediately, the experts of the Water Race hovered above the deep crater, their faces filled with concern. Was the invincible Asura King of the Water Race going to die before he could even achieve anything?

Ten minutes later, the Asura King flew out. Surprisingly, not a single wound could be seen on his body. This greatly surprised Tu Xiao’an. What a formidable recovery ability!

After a long time, the tripartite forces stood under the Reincarnation Tree. Now, all they had to do was wait for the fruit to fall. As for when it would fall, they could only wait. No one dared to pluck it, not even Immortal Xuanyuan Zhan or the Asura King.

As time passed, more and more experts joined the human camp. Almost every hour, a High Rank War God would arrive to join their ranks. However, Tu Xiao’an’s Demon Race wasn’t doing too badly either. Although the Demon Kings from the Yaoling Mountain Range had yet to arrive, the demons mingling in the Human World came in droves to report.

Among them were the seven Great Demon Foxes of the Fox Cave. Aside from Xiaoqi and Mengqi, who were already present, the Four Foxes, Five Foxes, and Six Foxes had all arrived. Moreover, the number of Rank Three Demon Spirits was even greater. But Tu Xiao’an ordered all the Rank Three Demon Spirits to retreat far into the distance. Their Level was simply too low. Right now, anyone below the Demon King Level didn’t even have the qualifications to stand under the Reincarnation Tree.

Because of Tu Xiao’an’s invincible son, both Xuanyuan Zhan and the Asura King didn’t dare to act presumptuously. They were very well-behaved at the moment. Both sides were discussing matters within their respective camps. For a time, everything was calm and peaceful.

Everyone wanted the fruits of the Reincarnation Tree, but this was undeniably an adventure where crisis and opportunity coexisted. If they weren’t careful and accidentally awakened the Reincarnation Tree, all three races—Human, Demon and Water—would likely become fertilizer for the tree.

If you were outstanding and excellent enough, and had good luck, you might even be hung on the Reincarnation Tree as a fruit in the future.
