The power of the Sacred Liquid was still underestimated by Ye Chu. Even with his record of killing three kings, many cultivators still laid various traps to surround and kill him. Ye Chu fought countless battles along the way. If not for his formidable strength and caution, he might have capsized in a gutter.
Ye Chu walked the Proud Son of Heaven Road with extreme difficulty. Walking this path, he carved out a bloody road. This was a situation that rarely appeared on the Proud Son of Heaven Road.
Although the Proud Son of Heaven Road was a place to hone outstanding talents, it was also a bloody road. But if one did not fight with others, the road would not be too difficult to walk.
But Ye Chu was different. It was practically one bloody footprint after another. He was the person who walked the Proud Son of Heaven Road with the most difficulty.
Thus, Ye Chu walked all the way to the Tenth City. By the time he reached here, Ye Chu did not even know how much blood stained his hands.
Tenth City!
This was a watershed on the Proud Son of Heaven Road. Everyone who entered the Tenth City was an extremely outstanding talent. They could truly be counted as proud sons of heaven.
Going further, king-level proud sons of heaven were not uncommon. Some outstanding figures were also among them. After the Tenth City, almost every young cultivator had a bright future. Not to mention becoming a peerless powerhouse, but cultivating to Emperor realm was not too difficult.
Therefore, upon reaching this city, Ye Chu stopped his footsteps and did not continue forward. His strength was indeed extraordinary, but the cultivators after the Tenth City were equally extraordinary. There were not no similarly monstrous figures as him, and some might even be more monstrous in strength than him.
Most importantly, beyond this point there were king-level outstanding talents. There was an essential difference between a king-level outstanding talent and an ordinary king. A king-level outstanding talent with extraordinary strength could fight three or four ordinary kings without issue.
After the Tenth City was such a place. Although Ye Chu’s strength was extraordinary, he still had to be somewhat wary. The attraction of the Sacred Liquid was too great. If not for the fact that one could not turn back on the Proud Son of Heaven Road, Ye Chu would not doubt that some people would turn back to hunt and kill him to seize the Sacred Liquid.
And if he continued forward, it would be equal to delivering himself to their door.
“If I could step into King realm, I would not fear!” Ye Chu sighed. If he stepped into King realm, he would dare to truly walk beyond the Tenth City. At that time, his strength would absolutely undergo heaven and earth shaking changes, entering a new level.
But how could King realm be so easy to reach? Ye Chu had fought all the way to this moment, yet had not discovered any shadow of breaking through Xuanming Realm. He had not found the slightest clue of how to step into King realm.
“How can I reach King realm? Only after stepping into King realm can I witness the true outstanding talents of the continent.” Ye Chu wanted to broaden his horizons, to let him see what methods the disciples left behind by those ancient clans on the continent possessed.
“Has everyone heard? On Purple Mountain, numerous outstanding talents are gathering there. I heard the Tenth City’s most outstanding Red Tower Young Master is also there!”
“Yes, and there are rumours that Hairong Young Master, who might be an outstanding figure, is there too!”
“Miss Piaopiao has also gone!”
“Mm, there are rumours that Chamu Young Master has walked out his own Dao, and has also participated.”
“This generation’s Proud Son of Heaven Road has extremely many outstanding talents, far more than previous years. Numerous proud son of heaven level outstanding talents have gathered on Purple Mountain, preparing to hold a forum to discuss the Dao.”
“This is a grand event. Rumour has it that every outstanding talent who could make it has gone.”
“Isn’t that so? Who would want to miss such a gathering? If one can naturally go, if one can gain some comprehension from it, the benefits would be immense.”
“Every time there is a Dao discussion, countless people break through. This session, I fear it will be even more so!”
“…”
Everyone was discussing fervently. Ye Chu was in the inn and heard everything. Hearing these discussions, Ye Chu could not help but be surprised, wondering what kind of gathering could drive young talents to such madness.
Ye Chu had been groping for a breakthrough to King realm. Having no clue, he thought for a moment and followed the flow of people toward Purple Mountain’s direction.
Ye Chu also wanted to find some opportunity there. If he could break through to King realm because of it, then truly the sky would be high and birds could fly freely.
Along the way, everyone was discussing the Purple Mountain gathering. The more they spoke, the more excited they became.
Purple Mountain was not close to the Tenth City. Ye Chu walked with the flow of people for a long time before he saw a mountain range covered in purple plants. This mountain range was not very high, but its purpleness was extremely distinctive. One glance was enough to draw people in.
Beside Ye Chu was an extremely fat fatty. This fatty panted with every few steps. Seeing Ye Chu walking with ease, he could not help but say, “With your skin and bones appearance, you still have the nerve to come to Purple Mountain? Everyone could drown you with one spit.”
Ye Chu swept a glance at this fatty. The fatty weighed at least two hundred jin and was not tall, but his strength was surprising. He had actually reached Ninth Level peak, the same realm as Ye Chu!
“In this life, Brother most hates fatties. You best not provoke me!” Ye Chu stared at the other party and said, “Especially a dead fatty like you!”
“You…” The fatty was enraged, glaring with his eyes, preparing to deliver a slap. But seeing Ye Chu was some distance from him, he was unwilling to walk two more steps.
“If not for seeing you are two metres away from me, today I would slap you to death with one blow! Walking two more steps is truly too tiring!” The fatty sighed and said.
“Of course, with that much fat meat, how could it not be tiring?” Ye Chu said matter-of-factly.
The fatty immediately ground his teeth, staring at Ye Chu and roaring, “If you dare call me fatty again, believe it or not this young master will kill you. How standard is this young master’s figure, and you dare call me fatty?”
Ye Chu shrugged indifferently and strode toward walking up Purple Mountain. The fatty looked at Purple Mountain and his face immediately fell.
“Damn it, a bunch of bastards, why come to a big mountain when there are so many places to go? Climbing this big mountain, will I not sweat a lot!” The fatty sighed a few sentences, but still gritted his teeth and walked upward.
“Hey! Brat, you look like a monkey, what are you here for? Let me tell you, this place is not fun. They most like bullying monkeys!” The fatty stared at Ye Chu and said, “But if you follow me, I guarantee they will not dare bully you!”
Ye Chu swept a glance at the fatty and said, “I fear following you I would be bullied even more!”
“You…” The fatty took a deep breath, “Wait until we get up the mountain and rest a while, then I will teach you a lesson. How dare you mock this young master.”
Ye Chu ignored this fatty, but saw that this fatty did not know from where took out a rope, threw it onto a large tree in front, and climbed up the mountain along the rope.
“A fatty is truly good-for-nothing!” Ye Chu sighed, thinking that even having Xuanming Realm peak strength was useless. That body of flesh was enough to render one useless.
Ye Chu thought that his dislike of fatties had its reasons. He looked at this fatty sympathetically and said, “You climb slowly. Hope you slim down, otherwise it is too difficult for you.”
After Ye Chu finished speaking, he laughed heartily. His figure flashed and he leaped upward, his speed fast as lightning.
This scene made the fatty grind his teeth. Then he ground his teeth and said, “Wait, this young master will properly deal with you.”
