Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

The battle broke out too suddenly.

So much so that many people didn't even realize that the great battle had already begun.

A fierce battle broke out between the Azure-Clad Little Dragon King and Ji Haoyue outside the city!

The two had shaken hands and made peace while in the city, raising their glasses in celebration. But as soon as the party ended and they left the city, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

Even from a great distance, one could see a blue dragon soaring in the sky, its body thousands of feet long, crushing the void and giving people a great sense of oppression.

Moreover, it wasn't just those two who were fighting; it's said that the Holy Son of Yao Guang was also involved, and the one fighting the Holy Son of Yao Guang was none other than the infamous Southern Demon.

Those who can be prefixed with a region are almost all recognized as the most powerful geniuses in their respective areas, and Nan Yao is recognized as the most powerful genius in the Southern Ridge.

The fact that such a powerful being suddenly intervened and dragged the Holy Son of Yao Guang into the battle was something many people did not expect.

The battle happened so suddenly that by the time everyone heard the news and rushed out, the battle had already reached a fever pitch.

At first, it was a one-on-one battle, but it quickly turned into a two-on-two battle.

The Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King transformed into an azure dragon, crushing the void and trapping Ji Haoyue and the Holy Son of Yaoguang within a space. The Southern Demon remained a human figure, walking through that void and fighting the Holy Son of Yaoguang.

The Holy Son of Yaoguang carried one hundred and eight divine rings on his back, like a god descending to earth. Every move he made was like a new sun appearing in the void, illuminating the human world.

His every move exuded endless composure and confidence, as if he were not fighting the famous Southern Demon of the Southern Ridge, but merely an insignificant nobody he had fought before.

The Ji family's divine body never appeared in front of everyone from beginning to end, but everyone knew that the Ji family's divine body was also fighting.

The void trembled, cracking open with a pitch-black gap, and a giant hand pierced through the void, reaching out to grab the thousand-foot-long dragon.

As the giant hand descended, the blackness became even more solid, as if the giant hand encompassed the power of the entire space.

"Heh, the Void Scripture? I've long wanted to learn from it!" the little dragon king in green sneered.

Although he was not proficient in the Void Sutra, he was proficient in using force to break through all laws.

A thousand-foot-long dragon coiled its body, wrapping around the giant hand. Cheng Longjiu then activated the azure dragon, which seemed to be transforming into a golden dragon. The giant hand, which appeared to be full of power, fought with the dragon, grasping its body. However, the wrist of the giant hand was also wrapped around the dragon.

The two fought fiercely in mid-air, and it was impossible for the world to tell whether the dragon was suppressing the Void Handprint or the Void Handprint was restraining the dragon.

"Fellow Daoist, we have no enmity between us, so why do you insist on opposing me?" Yao Guang Holy Son said calmly.

He walked beneath the heavens, with 108 dazzling divine halos behind him, shining like 108 great suns in the void.

If the opponent's strength is slightly weaker, even the Holy Son of Yaoguang wouldn't need to take action personally; the mere 108 Great Suns would be enough to suppress them.

However, he was not facing an ordinary person; he was facing the Southern Demon from the Southern Ridge Demon Emperor's Palace.

Even without the core inheritance of that Demon Emperor, the strength of the Southern Demons should not be underestimated.

Behind him surged boundless demonic energy, which transformed into a celestial dog that swallowed half of the sun behind the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

The Holy Son of Yaoguang's expression changed slightly as he sensed a threat. He quickly created distance, and his Holy Light spell swept across the sky, carrying unparalleled power as it pressed down on the Southern Demon.

Nan Yao laughed loudly, "I never expected there to be such a prodigy as you in the Eastern Wilderness. It seems you've been hiding most of your strength!"

As a top expert, he paid attention to the strength of his peers. Some people were touted as very strong, but their strength was only average, while others, although they showed average strength to the outside world, were actually very strong. The latter was, for example, the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

Although this guy is famous, he is only famous in the Eastern Wilderness. But now it seems that he can even be called the Eastern Yaoguang.

"I haven't been hiding my strength; I've only recently made some progress," the Holy Son of Yao Guang said calmly.

Despite the attacks from the Southern Demons, he still performed adeptly.

Although the four combatants were all newly entered the Dragon Transformation Realm, given the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield and the overwhelming pressure of their attacks, even a peak Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator would likely be severely injured in an instant.

"Ji Haoyue! Do you dare to step forward and fight!"

On the other side, the thousand-foot-long dragon had already crushed the pitch-black hand.

The little dragon king in green robes hovered in mid-air, staring at the void before him, and spoke.

However, his opponent still did not appear. Instead, a finger, seemingly as clear as jade, pointed out from the void, directly at the dragon horn of the little dragon king in green robes.

"Ha! Hiding your head and showing your tail!" The little dragon king in green sneered, showing no fear whatsoever.

Since cultivating the Nine Transformations of the True Dragon, his strength has now reached the top tier among those at the same level.

However, he could also see that the Ji family's divine body had changed significantly from before.

If it were the previous Ji family divine body, it would probably have been defeated long ago. However, the current Ji family divine body is still walking leisurely in the void. Even he can only barely grasp a general direction and cannot determine the opponent's exact location.

In this situation, all he could do was to destroy and crush the surrounding void as much as possible to force the opponent out.

He nearly crushed the void within a thousand feet radius, yet even so, the figure walked through the void ruins, occasionally unleashing a void handprint, or simply entering the battlefield between the Southern Demon and the Holy Son of Yaoguang, using void techniques to harass the Southern Demon and buy the Holy Son of Yaoguang an opportunity to make a move.

Even when facing the two, Nan Yao remained fearless.

Everyone's strength is about the same, so even if the two opponents join forces, he can hold out for a while.

Not to mention the little blue-robed dragon king who was eyeing them menacingly. The reason the other party hadn't made a move was that he was gradually compressing the void around them, so that the Ji family's divine body walking in the void would have no way to avoid it and would eventually have to show up.

The battle was still ongoing, and the crowd of onlookers was growing larger and larger. Some people even moved closer and closer, wanting to watch the battle between these four figures who were far beyond the level of ordinary holy sons up close.

Even the master of Qishi Mansion, who had just been sighing inside the mansion, was alarmed. He hid in the shadows and watched the great battle that broke out not far away.

"Young people these days are really impatient; they started fighting right away."

He spoke slowly. He had originally been thinking about how to motivate the various races and groups so that they would have some minor conflicts and frictions before the opening of the Starry Sky Ancient Road, so as to determine who was more suitable to go to the stars.

However, to their surprise, the battle had already begun before they could even make a move.

"In the Eastern Wilderness, the Ji family and the demon race have some unpleasantness."

A deputy prefect stepped forward and spoke.

"Unpleasant? Is it about that matter?" The lord of Qishi Mansion was slightly taken aback, recalling the matter he had previously sent people to investigate.

The opening of the Qishi Mansion is a major event. Those geniuses who can enter the Qishi Mansion seem to have been reserved by the Qishi Mansion in advance, but in reality, the Qishi Mansion is also secretly investigating their interpersonal relationships and past experiences to prevent them from repeating the same mistakes.

They pay particular attention to vetting those who are the most talented and skilled.

Coincidentally, Wang Teng was the one with the strongest talent and combat power, so almost everything Wang Teng experienced was found by the Qishi Mansion. This included the time when, not long after Wang Teng arrived in the Eastern Wilderness, the Ji family's divine body blocked the demon race, wanting to seize the demon race's supreme imperial weapon.

“Yes.” A deputy prefectural lord nodded.

Even the Lord of Qishi Mansion couldn't help but be surprised upon hearing this. "This kid is really daring. A mere little fellow from the Four Extremes Secret Realm wants to covet the Demon Emperor's Supreme Emperor Weapon. Does he really not know what a Supreme Emperor Weapon means? Or is the Ji family determined to use the demon race as a stepping stone for their divine bodies?"

From their current perspective, this is utterly absurd.

Let alone a minor divine body in a mere four extreme realms, even if they were asked to seize an ultimate imperial weapon from an ancient aristocratic family, they wouldn't dare to do so.

It's not just because the ancient family once produced an ancient emperor, but also because of the ancient family's current foundation.

Although this is a crucial moment for the ancient races to revive and negotiate with the human race, some powerful beings who are still asleep do not consider it a time of life or death, so they remain dormant.

But I am an ancient sage. If I were to openly and honestly go to an ancient family to seize their imperial weapon, then I'm sorry, this is a critical moment of life and death.

At that time, no matter which family's sage it is, they will be able to witness a sage with little time left wandering around their own doorstep carrying an ultimate imperial weapon that can run back to the family on its own.

At that time, not only sages, but even their family's patriarchs would be so frightened that they would jump out.

"Perhaps so. The completion of the Divine Body is exactly what some members of the Ji family see as a stepping stone, which is why they chose the Demon Clan. Although the Demon Clan's ancient emperor is the most recent ancient emperor, after his fall, the Demon Clan's power can be said to have disintegrated. Not to mention the later discovery of the Demon Emperor's tomb. With so many things happening at once, they chose the Demon Clan as their target," the Master of the Qishi Mansion chuckled and said.

"However, it seems that there are top geniuses among the demon race who are very dissatisfied with this matter. The Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King was not originally considered a top genius, but after following Wang Teng for a period of time, he even learned the True Dragon Nine Transformations. It is hard to say how strong he is now, but one thing is certain: even Ji Haoyue, who has undergone special training from the Ji family, is unlikely to crush the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King. The difference in their strength is not that great."

The head of the Qishi Mansion continued speaking.

As for the Southern Demon and the Holy Son of Yaoguang, needless to say.

The strength of the Southern Demon is beyond doubt, and the strength of the Holy Son of Yao Guang is not to be underestimated. Before Wang Teng appeared in the Eastern Wilderness, the strongest of the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness was the Holy Son of Yao Guang. The name "Eastern Yao Guang" is not just a boast, but a fact that was just a little bit away from being realized.

In mid-air, the four continued their battle, locked in a fierce and evenly matched contest.

Some of the 108 divine rings behind the Holy Son of Yaoguang had even gone out, and after they went out, they never lit up again.

The Southern Demon remained cold and aloof, his every move exuding the aura of a great demon, as if a demon emperor had been reincarnated, making people hold their breath and dare not meet his gaze.

The thousand-foot-long dragon that the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King had transformed into was still full of energy, but the black void that represented the Void Scripture was slowly diminishing.

However, although it is gradually decreasing, this does not mean that the Void Scripture is about to be defeated.

The Ji family's divine body is accumulating power, condensing into one with the void, which has already become pitch black. If it continues to condense, it will become substantial!

At that time, whether he uses the Void Handprint or other moves, their power will be further enhanced.

However, the little dragon king in green robes didn't care at all. He just compressed the void little by little, his thousand-foot body coiled up, and even the void groaned and made a painful sound of being squeezed.

At this point in the battle, bloodshed was inevitable, but no one spoke up to mediate.

Everyone knows that this battle is the final battle concerning the matter between the Ji family and the demon race. Once the battle is over, the matter between the Ji family and the demon race will come to an end, will be completely over, and will never be mentioned by anyone again.

If someone were to step in and mediate at this moment, it might seem like they've broken up the fight, but in reality, it would be a lose-lose situation.

Therefore, everyone is watching silently, partly to explore the strength of these people.

After all, those who could come to the Qishi Mansion were all top-notch experts, each stronger than the last. Even those around them didn't know their true limits, so none of them spoke up. They simply observed silently, trying to assess the approximate strength of the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King and the Ji Family Divine Body.

When the thousand-foot-long dragon body completely surrounded the void into a singularity, the Void Handprint finally reappeared.

However, this time the Void Handprint was not so large as to capture a dragon a thousand feet long; it was about the size of an ordinary person's hand.

However, this very size pierced through the body of the little blue-robed dragon king, tearing through its flesh and causing a spray of dragon blood to fall!

Seeing this scene, some people couldn't help but feel worried, thinking it was the Green-Clad Little Dragon King.

However, Wang Teng nodded.

As expected of the little guy who has inherited some of my true skills.

Although the little dragon king in green seemed to have suffered a loss, he actually gained a real advantage.

On the contrary, Ji Haoyue, who seemed to be in the limelight, was actually the one who suffered a loss.

He was entangled by the body of the little blue-robed dragon king. Although he pierced through the little blue-robed dragon king's flesh, he could not escape.

If the battle were to continue, it would simply be a contest of physical strength. No matter how well Ji Haoyue's physical body was honed, it would still be no match for the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King, a demon who had cultivated the True Dragon Nine Transformations.

Just as everyone was wondering how this would end, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Stop fighting! Fellow Daoist, please calm down. Peace is the best policy!" (End of Chapter)
