One high divine grade spirit stone was worth roughly sixty million Zhuque coins.
Ten of them, six hundred million.
One hundred, six billion.
One thousand, sixty billion!
Ten thousand was equal to six hundred billion Zhuque coins!
Thinking of this figure, even the part between their legs was shaking from their quivering.
“Are you sure, allowing the three of us to attack together?” Big brother Peng Dafei asked with difficulty due to his strangely dry throat. “The Phoenix Clan Ancestor and the others won’t interfere?”
Huwang Xiao nodded: “Correct.”
It was merely ten thousand high divine grade spirit stones. When he broke through to late-Tenth Order God Realm, Huwang Xiao could already condense high divine grade spirit stones by gathering the spiritual energy from the void, hence, to Huwang Xiao, high divine grade spirit stones were something he could have however much he wanted.
“On top of that, these ten thousand spirit stones are also yours even if you fail to kill me within the stipulated time.” Huwang Xiao added.
“What?!” All three brothers looked at Huwang Xiao with incredulous faces, including Huwang Yixiao and Huwang Hongtian.
Huwang Xiao spoke with a drawl, “Ten thousand high grade spirit stones are nothing to me. In the future, no matter who, as long as Highgod Realm masters are willing to submit to me, they would have endless high divine grade spirit stones, even top divine grade spirit stones to cultivate. However much they want.”
The three brothers and the two Phoenix Clan’s masters were shocked agape.
Top divine grade spirit stones!
Ch.759
Only Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi remained unperturbed.
Watching the exaggerated expressions of shock on the three Flaming Golden-Claw Great Pengs, Phoenix Clan Ancestor, and Huwang Hongtian, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi curled his lips in disdain.
Just the mention of top divine grade spirit stones and they were already shocked to this extent?
Wait until Huwang Xiao breaks through to Highgod Realm and is able to condense sacred grade immortal spirit stones, these people would be groveling at his feet!
A while later, all three Peng brothers regained their senses.
“Deal!” Big brother Peng Dafei looked at Huwang Xiao with an austere expression, “This way, us three brothers will attack at the same time, but each of us will only attack once. If you can withstand a strike from all three of us, then it’s our loss.”
If Huwang Xiao withstood each of their attacks, it proved that his strength was superior to theirs.
If they had to submit to someone like this, they wouldn’t feel too wronged.
Of course, the most crucial point was that following Huwang Xiao meant they could have an endless supply of high divine grade, even top divine grade spirit stones to support their cultivation.
“Good.” Huwang Xiao nodded.
Big brother Peng Dafei looked at his youngest third brother Peng Xiaofei, and Peng Xiaofei responded by going forward and approaching Huwang Xiao, “I’ll strike with my most powerful attack, Boundless Whirlwind Flames Slash! You better watch out!”
‘Is this considered as a kind reminder?’ A faint smile spread over Huwang Xiao’s lips, nodding to Peng Xiaofei to indicate he understood.
Almost instantly, frightening flames surged out from Peng Xiaofei’s body, forming a cloud of golden flames.
Divine might rushed out from his body and two violent winds gathered on his raised hands. Then, his arms swung at Huwang Xiao in a sudden attack.
As Peng Xiaofei’s arms swung out, a flurry of fire blades shot out like rockets. While they were flying forward, they rotated at an alarming speed, slashing at Huwang Xiao.
As those fire blades rotated in the air, forming two turbulent vortexes more than a dozen meters at their widest, the eye of the vortexes emitted ear grating hissing noises.
The sound waves traveled for hundreds of miles.
All demonic beasts within the Firecloud Mountain lowered their bodies to the ground with their heads bowed low, fear in their eyes.
Watching as the vortexes formed by numerous fire blades were about to reach him, a sharp light flashed from Huwang Xiao’s hand as the Blades of Asura emerged.
His hands waved and the twin blades slashed out, causing countless wind blades to shoot forward. Frigid Asura qi enveloped heaven and earth.
Two giant wind vortexes and two fireblade vortexes were on a path of collision.
Hellish whimpers echoed in the air as if a ghost was sobbing, an Asura roaring, the dignified devil king commanding.
Finally, the Asura wind blade vortexes collided with the fireblade vortexes.
The blade lights ricocheted and fire spattered.
The four different vortexes continued to collide, blasts resounded, scarlet red light and blackish purple lights lit up the sky.
Watching the terrifying shockwave from their exchange blowing out, Huwang Hongtian swiftly retreated far away to safety, even the Phoenix Clan Ancestor formed a protective barrier around his body with his flames, somber as he defended against the overwhelming shockwaves in his way. Only Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi stood leisurely watching the battle, the shockwaves rushing in his direction were scattered by an invisible force.
Even Peng Xiaofei staggered back several times from the collisions, more than a dozen meters, leaving a trail of footsteps. Each foot imprint was an inch deep into the ground.
Only a long time later did the wind calm down and fire quieted.
Huwang Xiao remained standing on the exact same spot.
In the distance, Peng Dafei and Peng Erfei were wide-eyed in disbelief staring at this result.
Their third brother’s full force attack actually fell into disadvantage!
‘How can this be?!’
The other side was but a late-Tenth Order God Realm human!
Even if the other side was the reincarnation of an ancient God, at late-Tenth Order God Realm strength, this person was still far from qualified to be their third brother’s opponent!
Their third brother was a peak early-First Order Highgod Realm, close to advancing to mid-First Order Highgod Realm!
The shock Peng Xiaofei felt was greater than anyone present.
Some time later, Peng Dafei took a deep breath to compose himself once again, his expression more solemn than before, “It seems like we we’re blindsided, you’re almost as strong as the three of us. Clearly, it’s no longer necessary for my second brother to do anything; now, as long as you can withstand my attack, us three brothers will follow you!”
Peng Erfei was a mid-First Order Highgod Realm.
From the strength Huwang Xiao had shown in the previous exchange, Peng Erfei had little chances of defeating him. Thus, Peng Dafei decided to skip Peng Erfei and end things personally.
He slowly walked forward.
Huwang Xiao’s brows furrowed slightly. He could see that this Peng Dafei was even stronger than the Phoenix Clan Ancestor, a late-First Order Highgod Realm master!
Peng Dafei stood a few feet away from Huwang Xiao. Divine might roiled from his body, layers of flame burned higher and higher with him as the center, the high temperature rippling out to the surroundings.
Huwang Xiao dared not be careless, summoning his black and blue twin dragon martial spirits, soul transforming and stimulating the true immortal essence force from his dantian with all effort. Both true immortal essence fire and Asura qi erupted from his body to counter Peng Dafei’s overpowering flames.
Seeing this, Peng Dafei’s eyes narrowed further, secretly impressed by Huwang Xiao’s white-gold fire that could inhibit his innate flames. However, his momentum was still climbing up, getting stronger.
Above the Firecloud Mountain, the wind blew strong, with moving clouds that obscured the sun now and then.
Thunder rumbled and lightning streaked across the sky.
All of a sudden, Peng Dafei dashed to the front, issuin
g a low growl, and aimed both his palms at Huwang Xiao’s chest.
“Grand Fierce Firmament Palm!”
Whilst Peng Dafei’s palms attacked, a strange boundless desolate energy rushed forth, spreading despair and emptiness. This strange energy seemed to originate from a time long forgotten and did not originate from Peng Dafei himself.
This Grand Fierce Firmament Palm was something that Peng Dafei had found in an ancient cultivation dwelling many years ago. After years of practice and comprehension, he finally succeeded in cultivating this skill not long ago.
Amplifying his own flames with this desolate force, this power gave Peng Dafei the confidence to face even a peak late-First Order Highgod Realm master if need be.
The moment Peng Dafei’s palm struck out, a thousand arms emerged from Huwang Xiao’s back, attacking almost simultaneously.
“The Fifteenth Move, Unrivaled Myriad Dragons!”
Hundreds and thousands of divine dragons growled and roared, covering the sky and earth. Everywhere one looked, the world was covered by divine dragons.
Peng Erfei and Peng Xiaofei looked like their souls had flown away staring at the innumerable divine dragons obscuring the heavens.
Thunderous explosions resounded again and again.
The entire Firecloud Mountain quivered and swayed. Parts of its body cracked and fell, uprooting many trees.
The Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Huwang Hongtian, Peng Erfei, and Peng Xiaofei flew up into the air, whereas Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi remained where he was, but there was a bright light around him.
Both Peng Dafei and Huwang Xiao’s staggered back from the collision. Huwang Xiao retreated more than a hundred zhang before steadying himself, and Peng Dafei retreated a little less than a hundred zhang.
Huwang Xiao’s face was pale, whereas Peng Dafei was only slightly panting.
Peng Dafei looked at Huwang Xiao with a complicated expression. Although his attack was a degree stronger, Huwang Xiao did withstand his full force attack.
According to their agreement earlier, he still lost!
He was truly unable to understand how a late-Tenth Order God Realm human could be this strong!
Although Peng Dafei did not use his true form in that exchange, he sensed that Huwang Xiao still had other trump cards hidden.
Some distance away, the Phoenix Clan Ancestor was dumbfounded seeing that Huwang Xiao really did withstand Peng Dafei’s attack. Only at this moment did he realize that even without Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s help, he still wouldn't have been be able to harm Huwang Xiao.
Peng Dafei hesitated for a good while before coming to a stand in front of Huwang Xiao, respectfully greeting on one knee, “Subordinate greets Master!”
Ch.760
The other two Flaming Golden-Claw Great Pengs, Peng Erfei and Peng Xiaofei, hesitated when they saw their Big brother greet Huwang Xiao as ‘Master’.
Peng Dafei looked over his shoulder, snapping at his brothers, “If you dare to gamble, then accept the loss. Get over here and greet Master!”
Peng Erfei and Peng Xiaofei hurried to stand in front of Huwang Xiao, respectfully greeting him.
Huwang Xiao nodded and had them stand up, then pointed at the pile of ten thousand high divine grade spirit stones, saying, “As I said earlier, whether I can withstand your attacks or not, these ten thousand high divine grade spirits stones are yours, take them. Since you all are now my followers, I won't ill-treat any of you. Later on, if there are not enough high divine grade spirit stones to cultivate, you can ask me for more.”
The three Peng brothers were overjoyed, quickly thanking Huwang Xiao before putting away the ten thousand high divine grade spirit stones into their spatial rings with trembling hands.
Even after doing so, the three of them felt as if they were dreaming, doubting if this was really happening.
Both the Phoenix Clan Ancestor and Huwang Hongtian watched the three brothers with envy and jealousy. However, they dared not say a word to Huwang Xiao.
By this point, their fear of Huwang Xiao was soul deep.
These three Firecloud Mountain’s Flaming Golden-Claw Great Pengs were an existence that deterred the whole Fire World, probably even the Vermilion Bird Galaxy. Even their Phoenix Volcano’s Phoenix Clan tread on eggshells around Firecloud Mountain.
Now, this level of existence, all three of them submitted to Huwang Xiao!
Huwang Xiao noticed the expressions on the Phoenix Clan Ancestor as well as Huwang Hongtian’s faces. Knowing what they were thinking, Huwang Xiao waved his hand and another batch of high divine grade spirit stones rained madly from above.
Not one more, not one less, exactly ten thousand.
Before the Phoenix Clan Ancestor and Huwang Hongtian’s stupefied faces, Huwang Xiao pointed at the pile of spirit stones, “Don’t worry, since your Phoenix Clan has already submitted to me, then I also won't ill-treat you all. These ten thousand high divine grade spirit stones are for your Phoenix Clan.”
Huwang Yixiao and Huwang Hongtian both trembled, hardly believing what they just heard.
The Phoenix Clan Ancestor stood there foolishly looking at Huwang Xiao, “M-Master, these ten thousand high divine grade spirit stones, are they re-really for our Phoenix Clan?”
Just now, he was only fantasizing and dared not hope that Huwang Xiao would give their Phoenix Clan ten thousand high divine grade spirit stones. Even if he did imagine Huwang Xiao giving their Phoenix Clan spirit stones, it still wasn't ten thousand high divine grade spirit stones.
After all, they were high divine grade and not high saint grade. Then again, even ten thousand saint grade spirit stones was overwhelming.
Huwang Xiao found it funny as he watched the Phoenix Clan Ancestor’s ever-changing expressions. He nodded and said, “That’s right.”
Only then did the Phoenix Clan Ancestor and Huwang Hongtian react. They were overjoyed as they hurried forward to thank Huwang Xiao.
The three Peng brothers had been watching at the side. Seeing Huwang Xiao easily giving out another pile of ten thousand high divine grade spirit stones to the Phoenix Clan, their hearts were racing, about to jump out from their chests. There was a deeper level of trepidation in their hearts as they looked at Huwang Xiao.
Subsequently, Huwang Xiao branded the three Peng brothers’ soul seas.
Peng Dafei and his brothers were willing to follow Huwang Xiao after losing their bet, thus they did not object to Huwang Xiao’s action.
With the three of them submitting to Huwang Xiao, the four Armored Dragon-Turtles were naturally absorbed into the hierarchy.
Following that, with Peng Dafei and his brothers’ help, Huwang Xiao began to subdue the rest of the demonic beasts in Firecloud Mountain, beginning from the mountain peak, going all the way down to the foothills.
With all three Flaming Golden-Claw Great Pengs recognizing Huwang Xiao as their Master, subduing the other demonic beasts went much smoother. In fact, all the demonic beasts in Firecloud Mountain submitted to Huwang Xiao without resisting.
Huwang Xiao didn’t expect the demonic beasts on Firecloud Mountain to be more numerous than he had imagined.
It actually came up to eleven thousand and one hundred demonic beasts!
The majority of the demonic beasts were Seventh Order God Realm and above, only two hundred or so were between Fifth Order and Sixth Order God Realm.
Most important of all, there were more than thirty demonic beasts of Tenth Order God Realm!
Including the ones Huwang Xiao had subjugated four years ago, he had more than sixty demonic beasts of Tenth Order God Realm and above, though this number didn't include the Phoenix Clan’s Grand Elders.
The Phoenix Clan had twenty -five Tenth Order God Realm Grand Elders.
Therefore, Huwang Xiao currently had slightly over eighty Tenth Order God realm and above subordinates.
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Huwang Hongtian, the three Peng brothers, six Highgod Realm masters!
Looking at th
e Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Huwang Hongtian, and the three Peng brothers following behind him, Huwang Xiao couldn’t resist smiling toward the sky.
‘From now on, I finally have my own force!’
A force that wasn’t weaker than any of the four galaxies’ super forces!
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi saw Huwang Xiao’s actions and was genuinely happy for him.
Huwang Xiao had finally grown up!
And he was the person who watched Huwang Xiao every step of the way, from a high-level Saint realm to First Order God Realm, Second Order, Third Order, entering mid-level God Realm, to high-level God Realm…
Becoming stronger step by step with astounding speed.
More than anything, he was secretly glad that the person who got the Dragon Pearl with him sealed inside was Huwang Xiao and not others.
Now, he could already imagine the day Huwang Xiao unified the four galaxies, and that day seemed to be around the corner!
“We’re leaving the Fire World!” Huwang Xiao indicated with his arm.
“Yes, Master!” Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Huwang Hongtian, Flaming Golden-Claw Great Peng brothers, and the rest of the demonic beasts acknowledged respectfully, their voices shaking the sky.
Thus, Huwang Xiao and Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi led everyone out from Firecloud Mountain, then out of the Fire World.
The entire way, the pressure from their group was enough to terrorize any demonic beasts they met on the way and make them faint. Those demonic beasts that managed to hold on to their consciousness would rather run into a tree so they could faint in hopes that their lives would be spared.
There were one or two demonic beasts that rammed into more than one tree.
Huwang Xiao shook his head watching this, not bothering himself with these small shrimps.
Out from the central region of the Fire World, they entered the middle region, running into many families’ disciples that came looking for treasures. When these family disciples saw the large group of demonic beasts, nine out of ten pissed their pants.
