Chapter 680 – Contention

At the same time, Yang Junhao also wanted to reveal his own strength in the true battle. Therefore, when Yang Junshan broke through the concealed tracks of the two Tai Ze Demon Kings with Mirror, the two of them had simultaneously chosen to fight against one another.

Gao Dafeng was the direct disciple of the fire valley whom Yang Junhao had secretly competed with before, and the one who had Gangli Accumulation Realm that appeared to be even older and more stable was a direct disciple named Du Jiuyuan, who was ranked first in the rankings of the fire valley.

He knew how proud and arrogant his junior brother was, and that teacher’s disciples were obviously not easy to deal with either of them. No matter which one he helped, it would be inappropriate for him to help them now, so under his helplessness, he could only stand to the side and rush to the front while also preparing for his opponent’s escape.

However, before the two could decide who was the victor, the Taize Spirit Demon King had already died together with Adept Qiyang and the other two.

It looked as if it was unthinkable, but in reality, the sudden attack of Adept Qiyang and the rest were completely out of Tai Ze Demon King’s expectations. Adding the fact that his injuries had yet to heal, the combined strength of Adept Qiyang, Yang Junshan and Spiritual Master Ruined Fire was definitely stronger than Adept Chang Li, Adept Zhu and Spiritual Master Wang Qian.

Yang Junshan and Adept Qiyang were chatting casually below. Although Yang Junhao and Gao Dafeng had not finished their battle, everyone could already see the difference.

Although the two of them had gained the upper hand in their battle, Yang Junhao had the upper hand. More importantly, Yang Junhao’s opponent seemed to be stronger than Gao Dafeng’s opponent, because Gao Dafeng had coincidentally met a Ghost Cultivators whose Concealment ability had been broken by Yang Junshan.

When the two of them were fighting on their own, they were obviously observing each other as well. Gao Daifeng clearly sensed his own disadvantage and took the initiative to light up the fifth level of the Fire Gathering Tower, and five colored flames shot out from the tower’s body, interconnecting into a five colored ring of fire in the air. This was the sign that the Seven Suns Fiery Mantra was about to step into the fusion of the five suns and achieve the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers.

However, at this time, Yang Junhao also started to unleash his full strength. His Seven Suns Flowing Fire Arts did not need the assistance of the Fire Gathering Tower to coordinate the conflicts between different types of Fire Aura, and he even managed to launch it later and arrived first. In the instant that Gao Dengfeng’s Five-coloured Fire Aura formed into a fire ring, Yang Junhao’s five sparks had already turned into a chain of beads that collided together.

A wave of fire cascaded down from the sky like a waterfall, and the Alien Cultivator who was fighting with Yang Junhao before did not even have the time to let out a scream.

At the same time, Gao Dafeng’s Five-coloured Fire Ring also took action. The Ghost Cultivators was trapped in the Fire Ring, and was forced to run left and right, unable to come out. Piercing screams came from the ring of fire, and in the end, they were burnt to ashes.

In the competition with Yang Junhao, no matter if it was in terms of overall strength, or the mastery of sacred arts, or the quality of the different types of fire energy condensed, Gao Dafeng was at a disadvantage. In the end, both of them used their trump cards, and although Gao Dafeng was able to converge all five colors of fire energy together, he did not complete the final fusion of the five suns. On the other hand, Yang Junhao, who had been secretly observing, was unable to discover how Yang Junhao managed to fuse the five elements together so easily.

In the eyes of Yang Junshan, he knew that this was a fire valley probing Yang Junhao’s strength on purpose. Most likely, the other party was even more conflicted because the red wooden staff in his dantian that was most likely the most valuable fire treasure.

It had to be said that for someone like the Adept Qiyang, to cultivate the Seven Suns Flowing Fire Arts to the Six Yang stage while advancing in Heavenly Dipper Realm was considered rare among all the cultivators in the history of fire valley. Although Yang Junhao had already known that he had gathered all five types of fire astral energy, he never expected that he would actually complete the fusion of the five suns and raise his profound energy to the treasured rank.

In fire valley, most of the times one cultivated the fusion of the five suns would be in the Gangli Accumulation Realm or even the Profound Constellation Realm. Even the Adept Qiyang had completed the fusion of the five suns at the same time as breaking through to the Gangli Accumulation Realm back then, so why wasn’t Yang Junhao born in fire valley?!

Adept Crimson Fire couldn’t help but sigh to himself. No matter what, the Sect Leader’s insight was still quite accurate. He had long since accepted him as an honorary disciple. At the very least, he had saved up a bit of his Burning Incense.

What he did not know was that Adept Qiyang was shocked, because he had read in the secret records of the sect that cultivating the Seven Yang Flowing Fire Arts was extremely difficult, but the higher the grade of the cultivation technique, the harder it was to cultivate, otherwise it would be even more difficult to cultivate it, and there was another name for this sacred art in the world of cultivation, it was the “Nobility” sacred art, which also meant that the cultivation of the sacred art would have to look at the quality of the ingredients.

Was it really only because of the fire treasure that Yang Junhao possessed that allowed him to fuse the five suns in his Astral Transformation Realm? What kind of cultivation technique did he cultivate to pass down?

“Alright, let the matter of the Taize Demon King come to an end. In that case, shouldn’t you be discussing the matter of the body of the Taize Demon King with this old man?”

The Adept Qiyang was a shrewd man after all. Although this thought flashed through his mind, his face showed that he was humbly seeking advice.

Yang Junshan laughed: “Nothing, just a collection of spirit materials, the fire valley cultivates a fire cultivation technique, and is a famous smithing sect in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou. I know that senior Can Huo is a grandmaster smithing master, maybe I will have to trouble you to refine some treasures at that time.”

The previous expression on Spiritual Master Can Huo’s face had already been wiped away. He faintly smiled and said, “My pleasure. When the time comes, this old man will definitely make some time to specially refinill or two for Taoist Little Yang.”

After Yang Junshan thanked him, he muttered to himself: “I believe the two seniors are already aware that the main body of a Demonic cultivator can be used as a spiritual ingredient. However, even though the status of Demonic Cultivators is important in terms of strength, there is one more thing they can hide, and that is their bloodline.”

“Bloodline?”

The Adept Qiyang raised his eyebrows and said: “Does that mean this Demon King Taize might have an extraordinary background?”

Yang Junshan nodded his head and said: “The Demon King Taize’s true form is not that of a serpent demon, but an Azure Flood Dragon, and is said to be a side bloodline of one of the supreme races within the demon race. Although it is already extremely far away, by being associated with such a supreme race, he will be able to hold an extraordinary status within the ordinary demon cultivator race, so I suspect that this might be the reason why this Azure Flood Dragon, despite being just a Heavenly Dipper Realm greater demon, still dares to call himself ‘Demon King’.”

“Looks like we’ve gotten into some trouble this time!”

The Adept Qiyang seemed to be deep in thought as he asked, “Then is the bloodline of Demonic cultivators directly related to the strength of Demonic cultivators?”

Yang Junshan secretly praised the Adept Qiyang’s sharp intuition, and said: “It seems that during the exchange just now, Senior’s strength should also be comparable to the strength of other Heavenly Dipper Realm’s existences.”

Adept Qiyang let out a sigh of relief, and said: “That’s right, this old man has the experience of exchanging blows with several Heavenly Dipper Realm existences, the strength of the Demon King Taize could be ranked among the top three, and this is because this demon was previously injured by Adept Chang Li and the others. From this, I can tell that the Sect Leader Wu De from the Tan Xi Sect is not as simple as he looks!”

However, with Adept Qiyang’s reminder, he suddenly realized that the person that the three of them had faced at that time was Demon King Taize at his peak state. At the very most, the strength of the Adept Zhu was equal to the strength of Spiritual Master Crippling Fire, so Spiritual Master Wang Qian was basically just like a soy sauce to them. In this situation, the Adept Chang Li was still able to heavily injure him and even cause him to be unable to recover for several years.

When Yang Junshan saw that the conversation between the two got farther and farther away, he returned to the original topic and continued, “The demonic cultivator’s bloodline often causes those with tyrannical bloodlines to possess a body that far surpasses cultivators of the same cultivation level. Similarly, the quality of certain components that can be used as spirit materials is also far superior to cultivators of the same cultivation level.”

Yang Junshan took the horn on the head of the Evil Dragon King Qingjiao and said: “For example, if it was an ordinary Heavenly Dipper Realm ox demon, his horns would at most be of the middle or low spirit rank, but this Green Scaled Dragon horn is of the upper spirit rank!”

Upon hearing that, Spiritual Master Can Huo immediately took over the horn from Yang Junshan’s hand, and said after a moment, “Spiritual Master Little Yang, you have a good plan, this horn is not only a high grade Spirit Material, I’m afraid it is already close treasure grade Spirit Material. The other items on this Green Scaly Dragon should also be of high quality, right?”

Even if it was Adept Qiyang who felt that he might get into big trouble this time, some of the fire valley seemed to have been tricked by Yang Junshan. However, when he saw the bountiful harvest he obtained from the Demon King Taize, he once again put his previous worries to the back of his mind.

Yang Junhao looked at the four Spirit Masters of the fire valley who were checking all the storage treasures and the rewards from the cave. Even though the body of the Green Scaly Dragon from the Demon King Taize seemed to be covered in treasures, he still felt that the Yang Family was losing out this time.

However, when he saw that Yang Junshan remained unmoved and laid out the teleportation formation, preparing to hook up the Qinshui’s and the small pond’s veins, Yang Junhao did not know what to think about it. However, there was one thing that was true, this Fourth Brother of his clan never seemed to engage in a business that lost money.
