Feng Feiyun had heard about the undying branch before - that their bloodline was impure and nefarious, a combination of humans and corpse evils.
At first, they were mere corpses but a cultivator known as Undying Sovereign created a new merit law. They could then suck blood and grow stronger. The more blood, the more alive they became.
This branch grew stronger and evolved, eventually becoming something akin to half-demons or half-beasts.
Of course, they weren’t welcomed by humans either, resulting in a low population surviving in a remote corner of the 134th central dynasty.
“Boom!” Lu Shanren obliterated a black hole and his red wings became massive, allowing him to slam Kun Prince.
Their fight shattered the floating islands nearby and forced spectators back.
Prince Tyrant and White Qilin reverted to their original form, being as large as mountains. A claw of theirs was larger than Crystal Island but they couldn’t break it down.
“Rumble!” The flames of a golden crow melted rocks into lava, burning all of Void.
White Qilin’s hooves carried the force of meteors upon impact.
Nonetheless, the scholar waved his hand, summoning clouds and rain to protect the island.
An old sword flew out, leaving a trail of energy in its wake. The flute could be heard as it summoned countless armored spirit soldiers.
This was the first true competition between the stars of both races since Time Immemorial. Void had a tough time containing their power.
Despite the danger of staying around, everyone wanted to watch this historical moment. Perhaps the path of the human race would change afterward.
One of Prince Tyrant’s claws was severed; his body was pierced in numerous places by sound waves.
White Qilin’s tail was cut off; a massive wound could be seen on his stomach and blood poured down like a waterfall, staining the sky and the earth red.
Kun Prince, on the other hand, kept up with Lu Shanren and only had minor injuries.
“Humans, enjoy your victory today but don’t think we have lost. If my true body were here, I alone could beat all three of you.” Prince Tyrant took a drink of divine serum and his wounds healed at a visible rate.
White Qilin’s saint armor was taken down by Xuanyuan Yiyi’s Earth’s End Ruler, resulting in grievous injuries. He still insisted: “I have yet to use my true strength.”
Kun Prince also told his opponent: “You are not strong enough to fight me, I will kill you at the conference to prove this.”
The three spoke strongly but didn’t wish to fight any longer since they were outnumbered.
However, there were thirty-six branches of immemorial demons. If humans wanted to join the immemorial ranks, they would face pressure on all sides.
Meanwhile, human geniuses became emotional for this event would certainly be recorded in history. They have members capable of fighting four immemorial demon geniuses, paving the way for a new path.
The spectators wanted to rush out of Void and spread this news to the rest of the world.
On the other hand, the demons felt humiliated. They came to trample on humans’ pride and dignity, not expecting to be used as stepping stones for their opponents’ morale.
“Let’s go.” Prince Tyrant gritted his teeth and said.
“Wait, do you think you can just stroll out the door after causing this much trouble?” Feiyun smiled and said.
“You think you can keep us here?” Prince Tyrant sneered.
“At our level, we might lose but will not die without the involvement of pseudo-saints.” Kun Prince snorted.
“Pseudo-saints might not be able to kill us either.” White Qilin said proudly.
“Then there is no plan to compensate for the damage? Fairy Jiutian, how many spirit stones are required to rebuild Void? The corpses of some human geniuses are still cold, should there be justice to appease their soul?” Feiyun said.
Kun Prince laughed boisterously as if mocking Feiyun’s ignorance. He said: “We don’t need to compensate for anything, don’t be cocky after a little victory. Immemorial branches aren’t always victory, just eternal. Your human race had a golden age once with Emperor Xuanyuan but that’s ephemeral, even the Di was obliterated.”
Xuanyuan Yiyi clenched her fingers after hearing this, clearly emotional.
“You are not qualified to ask for compensation and will be beaten down at the conference.” Prince Tyrant said.
“Looks like you three can’t be reasoned with, I must capture you first, your seniors can come to pay the ransom later.” Feiyun said.
“Fool.” White Qilin snorted.
Feiyun raised his hand and summoned his Trinity Cauldron, looking exquisite while being the size of a teacup.
He used Swift Samsara and appeared above White Qilin, sending the cauldron down.
The latter’s expression soured as he summoned his disk again to stop the cauldron while attempting to evade.
“Suppress!” The power of the cauldron erupted and captured the disk along with White Qilin.
“That’s one.” Feiyun smiled at Kun Prince as his hair fluttered to the wind.
“Whoosh!” He disappeared again.
Damn! Kun Prince didn’t expect this man to be so strong and broke the void, wanting to escape.
Kuns possessed the fastest speed so he was nearly as fast as a pseudo-saint.
“Stay and play!” Ten thousand beast souls appeared behind Feiyun as he unleashed a strike to force the prince back from the spatial crack.
Kun Prince couldn’t believe it - was this guy faster and stronger than him?
“I’m behind you!” Feiyun used the cauldron again.
“Projection!” The prince used a special technique and became illusory, escaping into space again.
“Come back here!” Feiyun created a wormhole with a punch and followed him.
“Rumble!” A fight within caused deafening blasts and violent quakes.
This didn’t last long and Feiyun returned with a shaking cauldron in his hand: “Now that’s two, you should come join them too.”
Human geniuses’ jaw dropped to the ground. White Qilin and Kun Prince were virtually unbeatable - candidates to become the next leader of their branch. Both were captured by a half-demon?
Sure, humans needed to make a point but this was exceptional.
