Long Live Summons

The Heavenly Demon stood up.

He blankly stared at the red-haired Heavenly Ghost, whose body split into two as he fell from the air and landed in the ruins of the Star-gazing Fortress. He didn’t need to look closer to confirm his suspicions— using the telepathic sense between the brothers, he knew that the Heavenly Ghost was dead once the blade had struck. It had nothing to do with his body being cut in half; instead, it was because the opponent had slashed the soul of the Heavenly Ghost.

The moment the sky was torn apart, this doomed resolution was fated to come true.

As Xiao Wen Li started to fly towards him, he got out of his trance immediately.

With speed that he had never possessed before.

He turned around and ran away.

The Heavenly Demon could be a worthy enemy against anyone else in the world, but like the Heavenly Ghost, he genuinely feared this ‘little snake demon Loli’. Back then, the image of the Snake Demon War God had been imprinted as an indelible scar on his soul. Even if ten thousand years had passed, his fear of her never decreased.

Nan Bei, who appeared out of nowhere, rushed towards Xiao Wen Li frantically.

He was a loyal soldier, using his own life in exchange for the Heavenly Demon’s chance to escape!

Whip!

Nan Bei was suspended in the sky as Xiao Wen Li pointed at him with her blade.

Under the gaze of the Lionheart King, he shook his head and sighed— the little snake demon Lolita had used one of the simplest techniques to kill Nan Bei, who was full of tricks and underhanded ploys. In the face of absolute strength, any scheming and conspiracy were plain and powerless. After countless periods of growth, Xiao Wen Li, who could penetrate the seal in an attempt to rescue Empress Fei Wen Li in the Black Hole Dimension, was no longer something that a mere fly like Nan Bei could stop. Her current abilities were still far from the invincible Snake Demon Princess who crossed the boundaries of the Heavens before. But although there was still a gap compared to her original powers, there was not much of a difference.

What shocked Lionheart King the most wasn’t the fact that this little snake demon Lolita had killed the Heavenly Ghost in a matter of seconds as soon as she was summoned.

It was the fact that the Third Young Master hadn’t done anything.

Lionheart King knew that the Third Young Master was definitely the strongest out of all of them, but because he hadn’t taken any form of action, he couldn’t gauge the true strength of the Third Young Master.

In the sky, the Gemini constellation shone brilliantly. And a cluster of stars seemed to answer someone’s call as they crowded together, forming a vast starry maze.

In the eyes of the bystanders, although the Heavenly Demon was escaping at super speed, he had never flown out of the starry maze.

No matter how the Heavenly Demon insisted on flying in a straight line.

He was just pointlessly running circles inside the maze.

Even when the Heavenly Demon stopped, the Lionheart King found that he was ironically standing at the starting point where he originally started to run from. In other words, although the Heavenly Demon ran aimlessly for a long time, he had never left his initial position. Xiao Wen Li did not pursue him again as she returned to Yue Yang’s side. Accompanied by the beauty Luo Hua and Xiao Wen Li, Yue Yang grabbed a handful of ‘stars’ from the sky under the astonished gaze of Lionheart King.

Nonchalantly, he catapulted the stars from his hands.

It was an action that was more casual than a child’s game of throwing marbles.Follow new episodes on the wuxiax.com platform.

However, after leaving Yue Yang’s palm, those flying ‘stars’ immediately accelerated tens of thousands of times faster. The cluster shot into the starry sky maze, dispersing towards the Heavenly Demon faster than they already were. From the original starlight, the stars turned into a long starlight beam, reaching an immensely high speed that made Lionheart unable to see things clearly.

No matter how many times the Heavenly Demon tried to dodge and escape, the stars were able to easily hit his body with infinite accuracy.

The Heavenly Demon roared.

Desperately forced to empower himself, he surpassed the initial stage of the 7th level Heaven Rank and reached the peak of that same rank. With an increase in power that he had never used before and creating the Ripple Talent to protect his body, he was set to directly endure the full force of the ‘stars’ by Yue Yang.

The Lionheart King was surprised to see that all of his last-minute efforts were completely useless. The Heavenly Demon’s body looked as if it was as fragile as a piece of cardboard, whereas the stars were powerful arrows that pierced through his body with ease. The stars were densely embedded on every part of the Heavenly Demon’s body, making a chain of muffled stab sounds. Looking at the expression of the Heavenly Demon, it was clear to everyone that he was in denial. Even as his body and arms were pierced with the myriad of stars, he still portrayed a horrified expression, as if he meant the words ”this can’t be true”.

Yue Yang raised his hand,condensing a galaxy-like, star vortex.

He threw it aside casually.

The vast vortex that had once submerged hundreds of millions of stars was thrown over, and landed above the head of the Heavenly Demon. The vortex of stars spun, which caused the body of the Heavenly Demon to be crushed into pieces. Even as his energy and soul continued to pointlessly struggle, after repetitive churns, the black hole formed by the vortex had entirely swallowed up everything in sight.

Upon watching this scene, the Lionheart King couldn’t help but shiver.

God!

The noun that flashed in Lionheart’s mind was this supreme existence.

Seeing Yue Yang who quickly killed the Heavenly Demon with nothing but a gesture of his hand, the Lionheart King suddenly understood how large of a gap was between him and the other party.

That was the difference between humans and Gods. It was a realm that could never be approached and was even more impossible to transcend! Although the Lionheart King was informed that before he had killed the Heavenly Demon, Yue Yang had taken many other preparatory steps to achieve that result, such as seeing through the opponent’s schemes. He also broke through the weaknesses of the domains and the beasts whilst figuring out the ways to suppress them. Also, it took a long time for him to condense the Starry Sky Domain and whatnot as he waited for the perfect timing before he killed the Heavenly Demon in one fell swoop.

However, that alone was scary enough!

The Lionheart King admitted that even if he tried his best, he would not be able to defeat Heavenly Ghost or Heavenly Demon. Without breaking the Shockwave Domain, it would have been impossible to even achieve a tie. But the broken Shockwave Domain, the Ripple Talent that did not assist in the enemy’s attack and the weakness of the beasts were all seen through by the Third Young Master. Even the beast of the little snake demon Lolita, who killed the Heavenly Ghost with her last slash, was also summoned thanks to him. If the Third Young Master had not been present in today’s battle at the Star-gazing Fortress, everyone here might have been brutally exterminated under the Shockwave Domain of the Heavenly Ghost and Heavenly Demon.

“Third Young Master, Qian Hu is willing to be your bull and horse[1] to follow all of your orders irrefutably.” City Lord Qian Hu flew over and expressed his attitude anxiously as he was afraid that the Lionheart King would approach him first.

TL Note: [1] In case anyone forgot from chp 830, it means ‘one will be at your beck and call and will do literally everything for you’.

“…” The Lionheart King glanced at him contemptuously.

Do I have to be so humble?

I know a slave will always be a slave, but a friend will also always be a friend! The status between us will never change!

However, the Lionheart King also understood the actions of Lord Qian Hu. Upon sight of such a great backer, he must take the initiative. With Qian Hu’s strength merely at the 5th Level of the Heaven Rank, he was unfortunately not qualified to be friends with the Third Young Master.

The Lionheart King actually felt that he himself wasn’t qualified to be friends with the Third Young Master, let alone the City Lord Qian Hu. Heck, he was not even qualified to be friends with Sky Execution who fought like a madman and the Dragon Emperor who was calm and collected. At best, they were at the same level with Yong Hui, Hua Ban and the Flying Locusts. But because they took refuge late, they might not even be as favored as the others.For more, visit wuxiax.com

The Underworld Emperor flew back and descended from the sky, along with several great Demon Kings who returned from all directions.

They nodded to Yue Yang.

It meant that all the fleeing enemies had been eliminated.

Yue Yang waved his hand and signaled for them to clean up the battlefield. If there were any good items, they should not be wasted. Then, he smiled at the Lionheart King, “There are still many opportunities for cooperation in the future. I hope that the Lionheart King will continue to cooperate sincerely and fight side by side, just like how we did tonight.”

The Lionheart King was overjoyed when he heard this— the questions in his heart were finally answered.

He was really concerned that Yue Yang might backstab him.

He knew that if Yue Yang really turned his back on him, he didn’t have the confidence in escaping the starry maze of the Third Young Master, nor did he have the confidence to avoid the ‘stars’ that soared at incredibly high speeds.

Not to mention, he was still in the middle stage of his realm. Even if he was at the peak stage, the Lionheart King also felt that it was impossible to defeat this incredible young man. Let’s not talk about the speed of improvement, he was already from the ‘God Clan’. Even if the opponents had the ability to win, how could they dare to attack this kid? Forget about the Supreme Dragon God; even if Mo Long knew of it, it would be impossible to escape the pursuits of that man. Mo Long, the same legendary figure that even the Central Palace deemed as a pain!

Seeing that Yue Yang intended to join forces with him to fight against the Central Palace, the Lionheart King hurriedly endured his injuries and gave a grand bow. “Definitely, the Lionheart’s wish is to have the Third Young Master direct the horse’s head[2].”

T/L note: [2] means to let someone command/ take control of you, like how a rider directs the way horses would run by reigning them.

After he finished speaking, he took another fascinated glance at Qian Hu.

See for yourself, I am his trusted friend, and you are just a slave!

The City Lord Qian Hu pretended to be confused as he knew his own weight. The Lionheart King would naturally be a friend to Yue Yang. To simply serve him to the best of his abilities was already the greatest blessing from the Heavens. How could he dare to compete in standings with the Southern Heaven Realm’s strongest Heaven Ranker, Lionheart King?

Queen Tai Lun came over to thank him.

Along with her, trailed King Tai Lun who was seriously injured.

Although King Tai Lun was eager to die before, it was in the past. Now that the Heavenly Ghost and Heavenly Demon who held him in custody were killed by Yue Yang, there was no need to continue being imprisoned!

After a small conversation, Yue Yang learned from King Tai Lun that there was a certain possibility of successfully entering the Rift of Space and Time in the Dark Realm. He temporarily entrusted King Tai Lun and his wife with the Lionheart King to conceal and protect them before giving another task to the City Lord Qian Hu. Finally, along with Sky Execution and the others, they drifted away. When the Lionheart King and the others soared into the sky and prepared to leave, they found that the starlight rune pattern on the ground of the Star-gazing Harbor was still there, faintly flashing. As more and more dazzling flashes occurred with an extremely unstable force of energy, everyone suddenly sweated profusely.

They flew wildly with all their strength and escaped, a distance of a dozen kilometers between them and the harbor.

A loud noise was heard from behind.

The huge and incomparable Star-gazing Harbor had somehow collapsed. The explosion disintegrated the harbor into countless pieces and crashed to the ground, resulting in the devastating shockwave that pulsed towards them. Although they were tens of kilometers apart, it still made the Lionheart King and the others feel a bit panicked.

“Third Young Master is just incredible.” King Tai Lun, who had been tortured by the Heavenly Ghost, sighed loudly.

“…” The Lionheart King said nothing.For more, visit wuxiax.com

He wanted to tell King Tai Lun very much that if he had seen the Heavenly Demon still remaining in place after a long time in the starry maze, or the Third Young Master easily killing the Heavenly Demon by shooting some ‘stars’ , he would be even more amazed! To disintegrate the Star-gazing Harbor was just a small fry to him; the truly terrifying strength of the Third Young master was probably not even revealed!

How can the descendant of the Supreme Dragon God be such an indescribable being!

The Lionheart King did not say this out aloud. No matter what, he still thinks it’s better if less people know of this secret.

After returning to the Tong Tian Tower, the joy of killing the Heavenly Ghost and the Heavenly Demon made the people like Sky Execution, Dragon Emperor and the others who have been suppressing themselves scream loudly. The arduous practice with the elders of the Central Palace has finally paid off. Although they did not kill the Heavenly Ghost and Heavenly Demon alone, nor did they fight alone, but to be able to battle against the Heavenly Ghost who was a powerhouse of the Central Palace and even appeared victorious, to say there were no sense of accomplishments would be a false claim!

Even the Underworld Emperor and the Great Demon King Baruth, who were responsible for hunting down the guards of the Central Palace, cheered.

In the carnival atmosphere, the old man Nan Gong smiled.

Secretly, he wrote the new legend of Tong Tian Tower…With Yue Yang’s growth rate, more and more brilliant records that were once impossible to achieve were put to words with his pen. These were not only the honors that could never be erased, but they were also a gift left to the future generations. With the guidance of the predecessors, the future generations will definitely be more determined to move forward. The rise of Tongtian Tower will be unstoppable under the influence of Yue Yang!

Tian Luo Palace.

“Really? You defeated the Heavenly Ghost and Heavenly Demon? That’s pretty good! Xiao Wen Li has grown up, I am so happy!” Only Si-niang* was able to caress Xiao Wen Li’s head and make the little girl become a bundle of joy with showered praises.

*small reminder: Si-niang is just the way he calls her. It means ‘Fourth mother’, but she is his adoptive mother.

“What about me?” Shuang Er was also eager for some praise.

“You? I’ll consider you grown up when you no longer keep leaning on your brother,” Si-niang smiled and rewarded the little girl with a playfully light slap.

“Then I won’t grow up!” The little girl felt most comfortable when she laid on her elder brother, so it didn’t matter to her if she would never grow up.

“Haha!” The beauty Luo Hua couldn’t help laughing when she heard it.

“I want to go to the Dark Realm, but I also want to check out the Divine Grimoire first.” Yue Yang mentioned the Divine Grimoire to Si-niang again.

“Going to the Dark Realm first would be better. You would have to pay attention to the fluctuations in the Rift of Space and Time as sometimes it can get very unstable, so be especially careful. Then again, I am not very clear about these details either. As for the Divine Grimoire, it is not that easy to contract with it. Xiao[3] Luo Hua, come and help me chop the meat. I will make a good meal tonight to reward your efforts!” Si-niang still avoided the topic of the Divine Grimoire, but she actually supported Yue Yang to go to the Dark Realm.

T/L note: [3] Xiao is directly said as ‘little’ but in Chinese culture, those who are older can add the prefix ‘Xiao’ in front of the names of those younger than them as a term of endearment.

She also knows about the Dark Realm?

And it seems like she was really familiar with it too, damn it!

However, Yue Yang was no longer surprised at this point. He didn’t know why Si-niang wanted to conceal her identity and her past, but he knew that she must have a good reason behind it. But if Si-niang wouldn’t say it, he wouldn’t pry either.

He believed that Si-niang would tell him the truth one day.

Actually, it doesn’t matter to him even if he would never know the truth, as long as his family could live together happily.Follow current novels on wuxiax.com
