Asura Sovereign VIII

by Shian Jeen

  Watching the two people disappear up the second floor, the first floor broke out in a flurry of discussions, whereas a hesitant light flickered in Thunder Human King’s eye following Huwang Xiao’s disappearing silhouette.

  “Lord, it seems like this kid is not so simple. Should we send you to definitely investigate his background?” A high-level Saint world expert sitting beside Thunder Human being King spoke.

  The Sun Moon Restaurant’s private rooms on the next floor were reserved for important guests. Moreover, not just anyone could go up. The basic condition was that one needed to possess a card specially released by the restaurant. Just this point alone proved that both young men’s identities weren’t simple.

  “So what if it’s not simple?” Lei Hua interjected with a cool sneer, “Would we be afraid of him? Just a little white-faced lamb that has a tad bit of relationship with the Elf Queen. What can the Elf Queen do after we destroy him?”

  But Thunder Individual King ordered in a solemn tone of voice, “Investigate that demonic beast expert beside him.” A Fifth Order Saint realm demonic beast expert pursuing beside a young human was strange in his eyes.

  But then again, he wouldn't put a mere Fifth Order Saint realm in his eye.

  “Yes, Lord.” The same subordinate beside the Thunder Human Ruler acknowledged.

  “But Father, if that punk really programs in which to stay Nine Dragons City for just two months, that would pose a small problem.”

  It wasn’t convenient for them to offer with Huwang Xiao within the city.

  Thunder Human King reassured his son, “Don’t be concerned, I’m familiar with one of the Nine Dragons City’s small guard captains, we can allow small safeguard captain frame some crime on that kid and expel him out of the city.”

  “Father is wise!” Lei Hua grinned, “Arrogant as that punk is, I bet he dares not offend the Nine Dragons Temple.”

  At this time, in one of the private rooms on the second floor, the brothers ordered a table full of dishes, and wine cups clinked nonstop. Neither placed any importance on that Thunder Human King.

  “Big brother, do you think Sister Li Lu will come to the Nine Dragons City? ” The Violet Soul Devourer Monkey suddenly said.

  He was alert to certain things between Huwang Xiao and Li Lu.

  Ch.492

  Li Lu!

  Hearing that name made Huwang Xiao tremble slightly. Putting down the wine glass in his hand, his mood mellowed down, “I don’t know.” He solved in a restrained voice.

  The Violet Nature Devourer Monkey noticed Huwang Xiao’s low feeling and quickly consoled him, “Big brother, Sister Li Lu must have some difficulties.”

  Huwang Xiao sighed heavily looking up at the ceiling, “Let’s not talk about this. Come, cheers!”

  Two wine mugs clinked.

  It was three hours later when each of them emerged from the second-floor private room to leave the restaurant. At that point, the Thunder Human being Ruler’s and the Elf Queen’s groups had already still left, something for which Huwang Xiao was just a little thankful, especially for the Elf Queen’s departure. How could he not see that the Elf Queen harbored emotions for him, it was just that Huwang Xiao did not wish to have any emotional attachments at this point in time.

  Inexplicably, he considered the two girls: Li Lu and Shi Xiaofei.

  Departing the restaurant, the two brothers didn't immediately head back to the Nine Dragons Temple but strolled across the Nine Dragons City until daylight was replaced by the night sky before returning.

  Separating at one of the corridors, Huwang Xiao went back to his courtyard.

  Moonlight spilled on the yard like drifting snow.

  Huwang Xiao stood alone in the backyard, hands at his back again. Many thoughts visited his mind, such as the Deities Templar, its Temple Preceptor, Li Lu, the Cosmos God Cult, Shi Xiaofei, his parents and siblings, the Asura’s Gate amongst a great many other things.

  It had been extremely quiet deep in the night time, but Huwang Xiao sensed the surging undercurrent of unease and hidden murderous purpose.

  The night passed in peace, giving way to the rising sun at the break of dawn.

  The Nine Dragons City started to rustle in the dull morning sky before the sun broke through the horizon.

  Countless experts from Ten Directions Continent flocked to the 9 Dragons Square right in front of the Nine Dragons Temple. The merging wedding ceremony of the beastmen tribes and demonic beast clans was being held at the new Nine Dragons Square.

  Compared to the previous month, the Nine Dragons Square experienced expanded five to six times its original size, able to accommodate more than a hundred thousand people. All the buildings that previously lined the square’s perimeter were demolished.

  “The Green Devil Tribe has arrived!”

  “The Sea Clan is here!”

  “The Elf Race has arrived!”

  “Thunder Human King has arrived!”

  Each respected patriarch attained the square leading a group of experts from their families. A Nine Dragons Temple Elder responsible for welcoming the guests announced the arrival of the guests along with his sonorous tone of voice, reverberating throughout the Nine Dragons Square.

  The square’s perimeter was lined with experts from the Nine Dragons Temple, Violent Lion Temple, Ape Deity Temple, the beastmen’s Tiger Tribe, Lion Tribe, Snake Tribe, Fox Tribe, Wolf Tribe, and other tribes’ experts as well. Merely the number of Saint world expert exceeded one thousand, not to mention the combination of both sides’ half-Saint and peak half-Saint experts.

  The momentum was heaven shaking.

  All of the invited guests that arrived thought trepidation at the amount of beastmen tribes and demonic beast clans Sain realm experts. Fear rose in their hearts and the pressure multiplied.

  Those experts dared not move or wander around after being led to their respective places on the rectangular.

  Lei Hua stood beside his father, he Thunder Individual King, taking in the surrounding scenery. His throat became dry just by looking at the number of experts from other races. Only at this moment do he realize how poor and insignificant their human race was.

  Before the beastmen tribes and demonic beast clans, the gap of existence was akin to ants at the feet of an elephant.

  Lei Hua was feeling as such, and the Thunder Human King and other human race experts felt it even more.

  Furthermore, Thunder Human being Ruler noticed these gathered beastmen and demonic experts were those below Ninth Order Saint realm. Their experts of Ninth Order Saint world and above got yet to appear.

  His breath seemed stuck in his chest.

  The elves were arranged at a spot not far from the humans. The Grand Elder stood behind Elf Queen Kelly, whispering, “Your Majesty, the beastmen, and demonic beast clans’ experts have actually reached such a terrifying number!” She did her best to reduce the volume of her voice to the tiniest and there was even a slight quiver.

  Elf Queen Kelly scanned the experts belonging to the merging ceremony and nodded with minuscule movement in agreement to what Celine had said. She too wore a dignified expression on her behalf face. Before today, it was already common knowledge on Ten Directions Continent that the beastmen tribes and demonic beast clans were the most effective hegemonies, but exactly how powerful, no one was able to say for sure.

  Moreover, before, these two hegemonies were separate entities. Now that they were merging into one power, the horrifying extent of their causes could be seen from today’s gathering!

  These two parties merging was definitely a power that could flatten the whole Ten Directions Continent!

  She always assumed that the elves were weak, but now…! Kelly’s gaze dropped on the several Elders behind her, secretly shaking her head.

  A short while later, more and more invited guests arrived in to the square, around fifty to sixty tribes were present. The crowd grew larger, but the square was still oddly quiet despite the sheer number of individuals in the square,
not the least bit rowdy.

  All conversations and discussions were done in low whispers, not one party dared to put on an act.

  A little more than an hour later, all parties that received an invitation had arrived.

  …

  At the moment, inside the Nine Dragons Temple’s great hall sat Ao Kun, Ao Shen, Lei Ge, Chuck, Danny, and other hall experts and tribe patriarchs.

  A moment later, the Nine Dragons Elder responsible for greeting the guests walked in, stopping at a respectful distance from Ao Kun as he reported, “Temple Professional, all the guests have arrived and are waiting outside.”

  “I know.” Ao Kun waved his hands, unhurried to state the least, “Liege Lord Beast God is resting in the inner hall, let them wait around.”

  The Nine Dragons Elder acknowledged and retreated from the fantastic hall.

  Half an hour later.

  The heat from the sun was beginning to prickle their skin, the many races, tribes, and clans waiting in the square began to lose patience. Still, nobody dared to tone of voice their dissatisfaction out in the open, or clamor.

  Another half an hour passed in the same manner, getting nearer to midday.

  Just like annoyance started to leak out from the guests, all of a sudden, one of the 9 Dragons Temple’s Elder shouted near the top of his lungs: “The Liege Lord Beast God has arrived!”

  The buzzing annoyance was nipped in the bud, the entire square fell into an abrupt silence as everyone looked over to the Nine Dragons Temple main entrance.

  Before many watchful eyes, a black-haired young man walked right out of the Nine Dragons Temple main entrance. Following behind the black-haired young man were the Nine Dragons Temple’s Hall Master Ao Kun, Ao Shen, Tiger Tribe’s Patriarch Chuck, and the other patriarchs.

  The sight was a shock to everyone on the square, all their full attention fell onto the black-haired son.

  This black-haired young man’s identity was evident!

  Elf Queen Kelly, Grand Elder Celine, and the few Elf Elders that once fought Huwang Xiao in the past felt as though the ground were pulled under their ft the moment they saw the black-haired young man’s face. Each of them was looking at Huwang Xiao with surprise and disbelief written all over their faces.

  “It’s, it’s, it-it’s him!”

  “He’s the new Beast God! He’s actually the Lord Beast God! ” Elf Queen Kelly muttered incoherently to herself, not knowing where to put her hands.

  Whereas the Thunder Individual King dad and child duo and their subordinates that surrounded Huwang Xiao in the restaurant thought their encounters freeze. After getting over the initial shock, the gravity of thing dawned on them, filling their hearts with extreme fear.

  “He, he, is god, the father Beast God?!” Lei Hua’s eyes were a twin abyss of terror, and his face was deathly pale.

  In Thunder Human King’s mind reverberated the single sentence he said to Huwang Xiao yesterday in the restaurant, ‘I’ll enable you to live a few more days!’

  Let him be damned, he actually told the Lord Beast God that he’ll allow him to live some more days!

  Five more people in the crowd recognized Huwang Xiao. That time, the five experts together with the Nine Dragons Temple’s Sixth Hall Grasp Ao Shen felt that Huwang Xiao was not qualified to sit with them. Their minds were also blank.

  When Huwang Xiao, Ao Kun, and the others walked away from the main entrance, an imposing aura gushed out like waves on an open sea, spreading to all four directions, making professionals on the sq . feel as if their breaths stagnated.

  Coming to a stop before the square, Ao Kun and the others spread out in a line behind Huwang Xiao.

  Ch.493

  Huwang Xiao stood tall at the front of the Nine Dragons Square, his sharp eyes scanning the many patriarchs and experts waiting in the square.

  Those patriarchs and experts felt like Huwang Xiao’s gaze contained insurmountable coercive pressure, causing these to lack the courage to meet his direct gaze.

  “I am the beastmen tribes’ Beast God, Huwang Xiao. Today, we come together here to witness the grand merging wedding ceremony between the beastmen tribes and demonic beast clans. I shall take this opportunity to thank everyone who came from afar.” Huwang Xiao spoke. Although his voice was not loud, each person present at the square noticed him noisy and clear.

  After clarifying his identity with a straightforward phrase, Huwang Xiao considered Ao Kun: “Place the offering altar to worship High Lord Beast God and High Lord Ape Deity Emperor!”

  “Yes, Liege Lord Beast God!” Ao Kun respectfully responded. He immediately purchased several Nine Dragons Temple Elders to bring out the prepared worship altar and offerings.

  Placed above the worship altar were two statues created in the image of the beastmen tribes’ ancient Beast God and the demonic beast clans’ Ape Deity Emperor.

  When everything was arranged, Huwang Xiao lit some joss sticks and individually stepped up to place them into the prepared urn on the worship altar.

  was Nine Dragons Temple’s Ao Kun reciting the mighty and glorious deeds of Lord Beast God and Ape Deity Emperor during the ancient times. When Ao Kun was done, the Tiger Tribe Patriarch Chuck highlighted some important aspects after the integration between your beastmen tribes and demonic beast clans.

  In the integration between the two, the beastmen would rake the upper order of precedence, whereby the demonic beast clans were given a secondary role. In the future, the demonic beast clans would be a side branch a the beastmen tribes, called Beast Temple, with Ao Kun, Lei Ge, and the Violet Heart Devourer Monkey as its Three Grand Temple Experts of equal expert.

  The Beast Temple would consist of three main halls, namely, the 9 Dragons Hall, Violent Lion Hall, and Ape Deity Hall. The original sub-branches would be governed by appointed Elders.

  When the sea tribe, people, and the Green Devil Tribe’s Patriarchs head that the demonic beast clans were reduced to being subservient to the beastmen, none of these had a good expression on the faces.

  Although Huwang Xiao did not say things bluntly, from these arrangements, his meaning was clear as day for everyone to see.

  The demonic beast clans would merely be a side branch to the beastmen. Later, the ocean tribes, the human race, Green Devil Tribe, and others, once they submitted and swore allegiance, they too would end up as you the beastmen’s part branches.

  Furthermore, they had to obey the new Beast God, Huwang Xiao’s orders and wishes.

  As expected, after Chuck finished reading his part, Ao Kun spoke, “In ancient times, the magnanimous Liege Lord Beast God united our 10 Directions Continent, bringing an era of prosperity. All tribes and clans lived in harmony with each other, without any conflict, war, nor killing amongst our own brethren, without slavery between tribes and clans. However, ever since our first Lord Beast God disappeared, we crumbled from the inside and proceeded to go our separate ways, fighting among ourselves, raising havoc on the Ten Directions Continent. In order to reduce these meaningless infightings, to stop them altogether, our new Liege Lord Beast God asked everyone here today not only to witness this historic instant of merging ceremony but also to come to an agreement with all the patriarchs here in regards to unity.”

  The moment Ao Kun stopped, the square went into an uproar. Despite most people present already have expected this outcome, hearing it with their own ears still triggered a large reaction.

  Even though everyone showed unease, with low biting discussions all around, no one stepped ahead with outright objections nor did any party declare their allegiance to Huwang Xiao.

  Huwang Xiao stood where he was, taking a look at the masses unperturbed and unhurried.

  “Huwang Xiao, wanting us to submit to you is not impossible…” Suddenly, a crisp voice rang clear in the square.

  Everyone turned to look, it was the sea tribes’ Emperor Vander. THE OCEAN Emperor’s position in the ocean tribes was tantamount to the Beast God in the beastmen tribes.

  Hearing
the sea tribe’s imperial clan daring to utter Huwang Xiao’s name directly stunned the experts around, whereas the beastmen and demonic beast experts were enraged at that person’s audacity.

  Huwang Xiao raised an arm to avoid the beastmen and demonic beast experts from making a move.

  “Continue.” Huwang Xiao viewed the Sea Emperor Vander with a stoic manifestation.

  “In the old era, the Beast God’s strength deterred all directions, his might was recognized as the number one on the Ten Directions Continent. He once fought and defeated all the patriarchs in a siege, finally conquering them, which led him to conquer the Ten Directions Continent.” The sea tribe’s Emperor Vander set his gaze on Huwang Xiao, “Every patriarch present here will besiege you, if you can defeat us relying on your own power, without using the Poison Corpse Scarabs or other external factors, then my sea tribe shall be the first to post to you!”

  After the Sea Emperor finished speaking, the square erupted with surprised gasps from every corner of the square. Sea Emperor Vander was inciting all the patriarchs to assault Huwang Xiao together!

  The majority of the patriarchs present were Saint realm experts, moreover, most of them were Tenth Order Saint realm!

  Even if the currently acknowledged number 1 expert on the Ten Directions Continent, Ao Kun, was besieged by these patriarchs, there would only be one ending-death!

  Unless Huwang Xiao broke to God Realm!

  Only a God Realm master was capable of defeating so many Saint realm patriarchs in a besiegement.

  “Vander, you’re being presumptuous!” Aoi Kun, Lei Ge, Chuck, and the rest felt provoked, shouting angrily at Vander.

  Although Ao Kun and the others knew of Huwang Xiao’s strength, at the same time they felt that it was impossible for Huwang Xiao to defeat so many Patriarchs ganging to attack him.

  However, Huwang Xiao lifted a hands to stop Ao Kun and others, signaling them to retreat.

  Sea Emperor Vander ignored Ao Kun, Lei Ge, and the others’ getting rid of intent directed at him as he calmly faced Huwang Xiao, “How about it? Huwang Xiao, are you afraid? If you think that you don’t have this strength, then tell everyone here that you lack the power, say it loudly! Say it obviously! Also, you must swear that you will never invade each of our tribes!”
