CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 108: COMPARING LIFE’S TREASURE TALISMANS

"Eldest Brother, both these sides are figures that our Accumulated Thunder Mountain cannot afford to provoke. What should we do?"

Standing behind the Thunder Dragon, the Kui Bull looked panicked, sending a message through sound transmission. The message split in two, sent to both the Thunder Dragon and the Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger.

For thousands of years, the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain had never involved themselves in the murky affairs of any faction. They were always in closed-door cultivation, seeking the supreme Dao, hardly ever venturing into the world. But they never expected that Accumulated Thunder Mountain would provoke two such powerful forces this time.

One was an Eternal Realm Great Demon. The other two were the Golden Eye Saint and Silver Eye Saint from the Heavenly Star Dynasty’s Ten Thousand Dragon Ridge.

Although these two Saints are somewhat weaker, they are still figures we cannot afford to offend! the Kui Bull thought anxiously. It’s said that Ten Thousand Dragon Ridge also has a Dragon Lord whose cultivation base is terrifyingly high. He had already stepped into the Destiny Realm a thousand years ago.

"The current situation is beyond our control..." the Thunder Dragon sighed, sending two messages. "Brothers, our Accumulated Thunder Mountain is but a small temple; we can’t afford to offend anyone..."

The Kui Bull sighed, "Eldest Brother, if this Eternal Realm Great Demon leaves Accumulated Thunder Mountain, what should we do if the Dragon Lord from Ten Thousand Dragon Ridge comes to our door in the future?"

"There’s no choice. We can only tell the truth. Besides, we didn’t participate in this matter..." the Thunder Dragon said with a bitter smile. After a few seconds of silence, he added, "This Dragon Lord and I share the same origin, both belonging to the Dragon Clan. He should give me some face..."

Hearing their Eldest Brother, Thunder Dragon, say this, the Kui Bull and the Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger relaxed slightly.

"Ha, you two are really something! You’ve beaten me so much I’m aching all over! Keep it up, maybe you’ll actually knock me down!" the Big Black Horse shouted while fighting, a look of "panic" on his face. He showed no demeanor of a senior expert whatsoever. At this moment, he seemed to be at a disadvantage. Although he hadn’t made many moves, he was wincing and yelping in feigned pain.

It was a different story for the Golden Eye Saint and Silver Eye Saint.

"Eldest Brother, what in the world is this fellow? His body is too hard!" the Silver Eye Saint transmitted, his face slightly contorted as he traded blows, panting hard. Even when he managed to land a surprise punch on the black-robed man, it felt like striking the hardest treasure in the world. His fist rebounded, his knuckles throbbing with pain.

"Could this be a Black Stone Demon?" the Golden Eye Saint gritted his teeth, hazarding a guess. He too had suffered greatly; every attack he landed on the fellow only resulted in his own limbs aching terribly.

On the surface, it looked like the two of them had the upper hand. But in reality, only they knew how much they were suffering. The man in the black robe seemed to have an invulnerable body; no matter how hard they hit him, they couldn’t injure him. Thankfully, his attacks weren’t very strong, or they wouldn’t be standing here exchanging sound transmissions.

"HEH HEH!"

Watching the battle from afar, the Big Black Cat revealed a wicked smile.

Uncle Ma is truly Uncle Ma, he thought. Always my, Big Black Cat’s, Uncle Ma, full of a master’s demeanor. His current display seems to put him at a disadvantage, but in fact, he holds the upper hand.

The Big Black Cat recalled Uncle Ma’s powerful, rippling muscles. He estimated that even potent Emperor Level weapons couldn’t pierce that hide, let alone the soft fists of these two little Destiny Realm Snake Demons.

"You two, can’t you hit harder? With such feeble strength, you still call yourselves Heaven-Destined Great Demons? What a disgrace to the Demon Clan!" the Big Black Horse jeered, baring his white teeth as he threw a punch, clashing directly with one from the Golden Eye Saint.

BANG!

The Golden Eye Saint was sent flying by the impact. He was then seen shaking his hand repeatedly, wincing as if in great pain.

Just then, the Silver Eye Saint ambushed from behind like a ghost.

Instead of advancing, the Big Black Horse retreated, delivering a powerful shoulder strike against the Silver Eye Saint’s fist, instantly sending him flying as well. The Silver Eye Saint’s knuckles felt like they were about to shatter. He winced in pain, almost rolling on the ground.

"You freak! What is your true form?!" the Silver Eye Saint yelled, standing his ground and swinging his aching hand, too incensed to continue attacking.

These two Heaven-Destined Great Demons had originally thought they could easily dispatch this "little demon" at the Nirvana Realm. Unexpectedly, after fighting for a while, they still hadn’t succeeded.

"HA..."

The Kui Bull, being rather carefree, couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. But he stopped abruptly after just that single sound, quickly covering his mouth.

Nevertheless, that one chuckle reached the ears of the two Saints.

The two great Saints immediately felt deeply humiliated. With their noble status and formidable strength, to be unable to subdue a mere Nirvana Realm cultivator in front of the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain was utterly disgraceful!

The Golden Eye Saint glared fiercely at the Kui Bull. With a wave of his hand, two golden rings suddenly appeared.

In the Silver Eye Saint’s hand, two Silver Rings also materialized.

"Oh? You two little snakes are resorting to your intrinsic treasures now? Seems you’re quite concerned about this ’little demon’ in the Nirvana Realm, eh?" the Big Black Horse said sarcastically. He reached a hand into his robe, fumbling around as he mumbled, "This Lord must also find an intrinsic treasure to fight you properly. Fighting bare-handed puts me at too much of a disadvantage!"

Uncle Ma has an intrinsic treasure? The Big Black Cat craned his neck, staring unblinkingly at Uncle Ma’s hand.

High above the Thunder Pool, Ye Yun, who had witnessed the Big Black Horse’s antics, couldn’t help but smile.

What intrinsic treasure could the Big Black Horse possibly have? He’s just reaching into his robe to pull off one of his own scales. As an Eternal Realm Great Demon, the scales on his body are comparable to Divine Weapons. This Little Horse... he could easily crush those two little demons with a single finger, yet he insists on making such a fuss. It seems he’s truly dying of boredom...

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and smiled helplessly.

His warehouse is teeming with terrifying demon beasts, too many to count. Even the Big Black Horse is this desperate for entertainment. One can only imagine how bored the other great demons in the warehouse must be. But Ye Yun can’t possibly let them all out. These terrifying demon beasts are utterly lawless. If they were to appear in the world, they would likely cause an apocalyptic catastrophe across the entire Cangnan Continent.

"HEH HEH, I finally found it!"

The Big Black Horse’s hand retracted from his robe. Black light swirled around it, and a Black Shield instantly appeared. This Black Shield gleamed with a dark luster, its surface covered with mysterious patterns, giving off an ancient, profound aura.

"This shield is too powerful..." the Big Black Cat thought, GULP. He wished he could kneel before Uncle Ma and beg him to bestow this shield upon him.

"A shield?"

The Golden Eye Saint and Silver Eye Saint were stunned for a moment. They hadn’t expected this dark-faced man to still be thinking of defense, thus taking out a shield. However, what they saw was different from what the Big Black Cat perceived. In their eyes, the Black Shield was perfectly ordinary, without any radiance or patterns—as plain as could be.

GULP!

The Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain nearby also gulped, their eyes burning with desire.

This shield, shimmering with a black luster, was mysterious and powerful, emitting a formidable and terrifying aura—truly comparable to an Emperor Level treasure!
