Chapter 435: The Human Prodigies Are Just So-So

In the lonely starry sky, dozens of creatures with powerful auras stood side by side. Murderous intent radiated from them in waves, not to be underestimated.

“Just you few are not enough,” Mu Qingxue said coldly, her exquisite face filled with endless iciness as she glanced at the crowd.

At that moment, she spread out her divine sense, sweeping through the void around her in hopes of finding an escape route. However, her thoughts were immediately seen through.

“Oh? Is that so?” spoke one of the men mockingly. “If we’re not enough, why do you still want to escape?”

This was an extremely formidable being. His vertical pupils and rich purple irises appeared demonic. Dressed in a long Qilin robe with a golden crown atop his head, he had a heroic bearing. Though not yet a saint, he was clearly close, evident in his saint-like aura.

“The surrounding void has been completely sealed by us,” he continued tonelessly. “Today, escape is impossible even if you sprout wings! Fellow Daoists, help me take charge. I will kill this demoness!”

As he finished speaking, his body transformed into a golden ray, brimming with astonishing might. Dark red blood essence power enshrouded him as he charged Mu Qingxue.

His attack was simple and direct – a golden fist radiance that spread for thousands of miles, its terrifying aftermath sweeping across the void. The scorching aura illuminated the starry sky.

“Brother Zhu Jiu is indeed the son of the Heavenly Demon Alliance’s Grand Elder! Such cultivation is truly unmatched, possessing an invincible air!” “Hahaha! Who said otherwise? I heard apart from the Central Plains, the number one human prodigy is Qin Yuan of the East Barrens. But to me, Qin Yuan is mediocre. If Brother Zhu Jiu went to the East Barrens, he could easily crush all the young human generation!” The previous woman, looking at the terrifying figure of Zhu Jiu, expressed admiration in her expression.

“Hehe… Qin Yuan, the number one prodigy of the East Barrens human race, I have also heard of him. It is said that he possesses two extraordinary talents, the Mystic Eyes, and the Longevity Immortal Body. However, his cultivation time is still too short, not worth worrying about at all. It’s ridiculous that the Long family actually sent people to the East Barrens to seek his allegiance; it’s simply laughable!” the middle-aged demon spoke disdainfully.

His words were filled with contempt. Everyone present was in the Quasi-Saint Realm, and they didn’t pay any attention to cultivators in the Nirvana Realm.

After all, the number one prodigy of the East Barrens, Qin Yuan, seemed to have only reached the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm. Although their information might be somewhat outdated, even with the time that had passed, he would, at most, be in the late stage of the Nirvana Realm. In terms of strength, he might not even be comparable to the current Mu Qingxue. A talent like him could be easily wiped out by them with just one hand.

Therefore, in their eyes, prodigies like Qin Yuan were not qualified to stand on an equal footing with them.

“Hmph…your information is outdated,” rumbled a burly creature. “The current number one in the East Barrens is not Qin Yuan, but a youth named Su Chen. He may be a formidable foe of us ancient royals!”

At this, the woman and middle-aged demon looked surprised, unfamiliar with the name Su Chen. After all, it had not been long since they emerged from sealing themselves away. They knew little of the distant East Barrens’ recent events.

No! To be precise, the recent events in the East Barrens had not yet reached this part of the Southern Region.

“Since this Su Chen has such a title, his strength must be at least at the Quasi-Saint Realm,” the woman mused relaxedly. “If we meet someday, it would be interesting to fight him properly. Hopefully, he is not as cowardly as this Mu Qingxue in front of us who only knows how to flee.”

Her words had barely left her when a deafening boom sounded. Divine light exploded as Mu Qingxue and Zhu Jiu flew out from their clash. Though brief, the battle was tragic.

Already injured, Mu Qingxue tumbled hundreds of miles before stopping. She was drenched in blood, her clothes tattered, and a trace of red at her mouth’s corner. A ghastly wound on her chest kept bleeding as she gasped raggedly.

In contrast, Zhu Jiu only flew back a few hundred meters before steadying himself. After a brief adjustment, he looked up coldly at Mu Qingxue.

“The prodigies of the human race are just so-so!” he stated evenly.

“If we were in the same realm, one sword strike would suffice to kill you.” Mu Qingxue steadied her breath and responded, her originally pleasant voice now tinged with killing intent. She was at the Nirvana Realm while he neared the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, able to dominate the entire Southern Region. Even in the East Barrens, he would be an esteemed elder of a holy land or an imperial-lord-level figure.

She knew that even at her peak, overcoming someone like him would be difficult. His foundations were simply too profound, and he seemed a figure from ancient times rather than the current era…

“It is your own failing that your realm is inferior,” Zhu Jiu uttered dispassionately. “Go to the Yellow Springs in peace, taking pride that you could fight me this far.”

With his battle intent surging, Zhu Jiu unleashed a palm strike enveloped in brilliant light that drowned the celestial bodies. A scene of doomsday collapse played out, his palm print spanning thousands of miles and exuding suffocation without even nearing yet.

Mu Qingxue gritted her teeth and produced a massive silver-gray seal to meet his attack head-on..
