Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits-Chapter 294: Challenge

In a spacious reception room.

A young cultivator, dressed in a blue Taoist robe and handsome in appearance, greeted Zhao Yu with respect as soon as he saw him, "Mingfeng, the envoy of the Qiuhai Sect, has met Sect Master Zhao!"

Zhao Yu said indifferently, "Get to the point, what brings you here?"

With respect, Mingfeng replied, "Sect Master Zhao, our Sect Master, the True Lord Haiming, wishes to battle you on Qilin Island to decide the leadership of the human race in the Blue Sky Sea. If you, Sect Master Zhao, prevail, Qiuhai Sect is willing to acknowledge you as the leader of the Blue Sky Sea human race. From then on, we will follow your lead unquestioningly!"

Zhao Yu frowned slightly and said indifferently, "You may leave."

"Yes!"

Mingfeng reverently bowed again and withdrew.

Zhao Yu summoned his wives and concubines and relayed the purpose of the Qiuhai Sect envoy’s visit to them.

Li Xianjiao’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as she said, "The True Lord Haiming is about to die! My lord, I suspect he wants to kill you before his death. Without you, Qiuhai Sect will be able to dominate the Blue Sky Sea and become its overlord!"

Nangong Shiyao raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "We cannot agree to them! My lord, True Lord Haiming is already on his deathbed. Just wait another hundred years, and he will die on his own. Why risk battling him? A lowly life like True Lord Haiming’s is not even worth a single hair on my lord’s head. Please do not pay attention to them."

The rest of his wives and concubines also urged Zhao Yu not to battle with True Lord Haiming.

After a long contemplation, Zhao Yu slowly said, "I plan to accept True Lord Haiming’s challenge! If I can annihilate Qiuhai Sect, then the entire Blue Sky Sea will be under Dan Ling Sect’s control, which will allow us to obtain more resources and better prepare for advancing to the Divinity Transformation. Moreover, Qiuhai Sect shelters cultivators of the Demon Path; annihilating Qiuhai Sect would leave those cultivators with no place to hide."

Ever since Zhao Yu mastered the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, the Three Tribulations Thunder Spear, he had intended to eliminate Qiuhai Sect. However, Qiuhai Sect was also protected by a fourth order superior formation, so Zhao Yu had no choice but to ignore its existence.

Because Dan Ling Sect used Spirit Poison to control Nascent Soul Cultivators, it was notoriously infamous. Although he was the leader of the righteous path, Zhao Yu was also the most notorious and feared leader in the Blue Sky Sea. Hardly any Nascent Soul Cultivators volunteered to serve him.

Without a sufficient number of Nascent Soul Cultivators, Zhao Yu naturally couldn’t afford to clash with Qiuhai Sect; otherwise, he would simply be handing an advantage to powers like Haiyuan Palace.

If Zhao Yu could kill True Lord Haiming and annihilate Qiuhai Sect, then no power in the Blue Sky Sea could stand against him anymore.

Li Xianjiao said somberly, "Since you, my lord, have made your decision, all I can do is hope that everything goes smoothly for you and keep our home safe."

Zhao Yu smiled slightly and responded, "I leave our home in your hands!"

With Li Xianjiao and the other eight great Nascent Soul protectors, along with two fourth order superior formations, even if a late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator attacked, they could not break through—unless there was an insider.

Zhao Yu summoned Mingfeng to accept the challenge letter from True Lord Haiming.

A month later, at the summit of Spirit Mountain on Qilin Island.

A thin figure with the semblance of a dwarf, his hair white and his face covered with age spots and wrinkles, stood with his hands behind his back, silently on the summit, watching the rising sun.

This elderly dwarf-like man was none other than Sea Roaring True Monarch, one of the two great overlords of the Seven Seas Sect.

"Sea Roaring True Monarch, I truly didn’t expect you would want to fight with me! I thought you would stay in the Seven Seas Sect striving for the Divinity Transformation,"

Zhao Yu came forward, followed by Hui Ning Recluse and the eight great Nascent Soul Cultivators who had been subdued by him at the Sacred Blue Palace.

Sea Roaring True Monarch slowly said, "I am too old! I also don’t have the legendary Divinity Transformation Spirit Pill! I have no confidence in achieving Divinity Transformation; I can only use this frail body to strive for a future for my sect, as a way to repay the great kindness of the sect. Sect Master Zhao, why have you brought so many Nascent Soul Cultivators? I remember that the challenge letter stated it was supposed to be a duel between the two of us."

"They are only here just in case! After all, Sea Roaring True Monarch, you should know that you are no match for me. Under my command, I have three great life-bound monsters, each comparable to a great cultivator. Although your strength is great, it is at best on par with Demon Lord Zhenyuan."

"Furthermore, Sea Roaring True Monarch, you are too old! Time has eroded your body, now you probably have only seventy to eighty percent of your peak combat power. You challenging me, if it’s not suicidal, then it must be an ambush!"

Zhao Yu said calmly.

Sea Roaring True Monarch faintly said, "Truly, as the new righteous leader of Lan Kong Sea, you can’t be fooled! That’s right, alone I am indeed not your rival. I can only handle one of the three monsters under your command. However, in this Lan Kong Sea, there are more than just me who want you dead!"

A flash of dark Devil Light briefly appeared, and Demon Lord Yexia came out from the side, laughing lightly, "Sect Master Zhao, we meet again."

"Demon Lord Yexia!!"

Upon seeing Demon Lord Yexia, Hui Ning Recluse and the other eight Nascent Soul Cultivators’ faces suddenly changed, showing a hint of gravity.

Zhao Yu said indifferently, "Not enough! Even with the two of you together, you’re not my match!"

Demon Lord Yexia laughed lightly, "Indeed, but, who said that it was only us two who came to hunt you this time?"

A flicker of Dark Devil Light briefly appeared again, and a burly man about ten feet tall, with bulging muscles and wielding a Human Bone Stick, darted out from the side, giving Zhao Yu a fierce smile, "There’s also me! Zhao Yu, I will dismantle your bones one by one!"

Zhao Yu said, "Demon Lord Heiyun! Ranked third among the ten great Demon Lords, with a Cultivation Level at the Six Levels of Nascent Soul! Even with you added, it’s still not enough!"

"What if you add this old lady then?"

A dainty yet beautiful woman with an old and haggard face, white-haired, and holding a dragon-headed cane, flew out with a cold laugh.

Zhao Yu smiled mildly, "Lady Heart Eater, ranked fifth among the ten great Demon Lords, fond of devouring the hearts of cultivators, especially likes to eat the hearts of children who possess Spirit Roots. Your arrival is timely, as I’ll take this opportunity to wipe out all you demons and ghosts!"

"What an arrogance! What about adding us?"

Accompanied by a cold laugh, the ocean churned, and a bizarre demon beast, about ten feet long, covered in golden feathers, with two pairs of wings and four claws, and body as slender as a fish, burst out of the sea. A Fourth-Order Superior terror emanated from its body.

Behind this bizarre demon beast, six other similar Fourth Order Demon Beasts flew out, each exuding a terrifying Monster Qi.
