<h4>Chapter 903: King of Lightning-Attributed mes? What a Joke!</h4>
The youth with the Purple Thunder True Fire sniggered and said proudly, “What is he exactly? He is just a boorish fellow relying on the fame of the Azure Emperor. Does he have a lightning-attributed me? Can it be brighter than my king of lightning-attributed mes, the Purple Thunder True Fire? Does he dare to take out his own lightning-attributed me topare? Without even having to do anything, I can make him extremely embarrassed of his own inferiority.”
Extremely embarrassed of my own inferiority? Great, we will see who will be extremely embarrassed of his own inferiority. Xiao Chen could not help but reveal a yful smile.
“The Azure Emperor’s descendant was indeed awe-inspiring earlier. However, my junior brother’s Purple Thunder True Fire is the king of lightning-attributed mes. What can he use topete with my junior brother?!” the green-robed youth sneered, eyeing Xiao Chen with disdain.
Clearly, the green-robed youth was jealous of Xiao Chen’s earlier performance, feeling unhappy about it.
A pleased look shed in the eyes of the green-robed youth’s junior brother. He withdrew the purple mes, gathering all of them into the Origin me and pushing it forward.
The fist-sized Origin me released a dazzling and piercing purple light as it rushed upwards. Hanging in the air, it looked like a purple sun. Under its illumination, faint purple thunderclouds formed in the surroundings.
Like stars clustered around the moon, when the thunderclouds surrounded the Origin me, they made it even more dazzling.
The green-robed youth’s junior brother turned to look at Xiao Chen. Grinning, he said, “Why are you not saying anything? Weren’t you very wild earlier? My Purple Thunder True Fire is like the sun in the day. It is the king of lightning-attributed mes. White Robed King, why don’t you take out your lightning-attributed fire and show it to us?”
This youth ced heavy emphasis on the words “White Robed King” on purpose, making it sound extremely awkward.
When the invited cultivators saw this youth being so arrogant, they all revealed expressions of dissatisfaction. However, when they looked at the Origin me, which was as bright as the sun, in the air, they sighed wordlessly.
The Purple Thunder True Fire was indeed the king of lightning-attributed mes. Furthermore, this youth managed to condense a fist-sized Origin me, which was hard to achieve. This person indeed had the right to be arrogant. The crowd had no choice but to ept the situation.
“This bastard is a little too arrogant. Where did his Purple Thunder True Firee from? I remember that the Purple Thunder True Fire has not urred naturally in the world for many years already. The few me Seeds that were passed down from the Ancient Era are also all gone already,” Qi Wuxue said indignantly.
Long Fei’s expression was grave as well. His lightning-attributed me, called the Earth Shadow Thunder Light me, was a lightning-attributed me born in the Nine Layers of Purgatory. He had found it by chance while searching for the Dark Underworld Bone me. This kind of me dealt especially high damage to spirits. However, he was not sure what its effects on the evil Demon would be.
The Earth Shadow Thunder Light me was of a low grade, iparable to the Purple Thunder True Fire.
“He probably cultivated it using some kind of Cultivation Technique. I heard that the Peni Sea has a Lightning Amplifying Art. The people who use this Cultivation Technique can create all sorts of lightning-attributed mes with a chance of the king of lightning-attributed mes, the Purple Thunder True Fire, appearing.”
Long Fei was very learned. He understood many things from the ancient books that he normally read. His schrly looks were not only for show.
“Xiao Chen is in trouble this time,” someone sighed. Once the king of lightning-attributed mes appeared, no other lightning-attributed me could defeat it.
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not move at all, the green-robed youthughed loudly, “Princess Yao Yan, are you still going to ce your hopes on this person? My junior brother is the true savior of your Merfolk Race. You have no one else you can ce your hopes on. You can only agree to our demands.”
“Boom!”
Right after the green-robed cultivator spoke, a splendorous and ring purple light suddenly bloomed.
The instant the light appeared, everyone’s eyes filled with so much purple that it felt like needles were poking their eyes. People all around closed their eyes involuntarily.
This response was the natural self-protection of the eyes. When ordinary people saw something dangerous heading for their eyes, their first reaction would be to squeeze their eyes shut.
Cultivators were stronger, their reactions were even faster, so their eyes were even more sensitive. They could shut their eyes at an even shorter time.
When people carefully cracked their eyelids open, they saw that the situation overhead had changed. There was still a fist-sized Origin me in the air, like before, looking like a sun. However, it was now brighter than before and looked even more crystalline and full of a strange spirituality. With one nce, one could tell that this Origin me was extraordinary.
“Strange, why did that person’s Purple Thunder True Fire be much brighter? It seems at least ten times brighter now.”
“I’m finding it hard to open my eyes. I don’t dare to look at it; it is like a needle piercing my eyes. The people from the Peni Sea are too incredible.”
“It’s over. Xiao Chen is finished. How is he going topete with this?!”
Suddenly, someone eximed, “Wait, that’s not right!”
This person continued in a loud voice, “Look, there is a clump of Purple Thunder True Fire behind it that is much dimmer. As a result, I didn’t notice it sooner.”
Everyone squinted and looked carefully. Unexpectedly, there was another Origin me in the air. Several people responded by thinking back to that earlier dazzling light. Then, their expressions turned serious despite themselves.
“Could it be that this new Purple Thunder True Fire is Xiao Chen’s?!”
Someone quickly reacted, turning to look at the two people from the Peni Sea. When he did, what he saw confirmed his guess.
These two people’s faces were turning green as they goggled at that crystalline and vivid Origin me giving off a spiritual light. They were thoroughly dumbfounded.
A light shed on Xiao Chen’s forehead, and his purple talisman entered the Origin me. Instantly, the brightness of the Origin me increased by a hundredfold. The image of the sky was no longer visible. The other purple me vanished entirely, its light overwhelmed.
This contrast was simply too embarrassing. How could the other person continue to disy his Purple Thunder True Fire with pride? He quickly and quietly retracted his Purple Thunder True Fire.
When that youth looked at the expressions of the cultivators around him, he felt even more ashamed.
While this youth’s Purple Thunder True Fire’s Origin me was the same size as Xiao Chen’s, the quality was of apletely different level, like the difference between night and day.
When this youth thought of his earlier boast, he found it veryughable.
A virtuous fighter did not rage. Xiao Chen had been waiting for this chance, a chance to hand his opponent a resounding defeat.
The greatest punishment for a person who humiliated others was not being hit by others but for him to p his own face. Furthermore, the self-abasement was so clear that he did not dare to say anything about it.
What was being extremely embarrassed of one’s own inferiority? This was it!
Princess Yao Yan smiled faintly and spoke up with good timing. “The two of you, do you still have anything to say?”
The green-robed youth and his junior brother remained quiet. How could they dare to say anything now? How could they dare to disy any signs of arrogance?
Qi Wuxueughed loudly and said, “This is great. Extremely embarrassed of one’s own inferiority? This is truly being extremely embarrassed of one’s own inferiority. I like this style. Brother Xiao is indeed Brother Xiao. He lets you jump about and crow all you want. When you reach your peak and are crowing at your happiest, he lets you p yourself back down.”
Long Fei had a gloomy expression in his eyes. He considered Xiao Chen the target that he was chasing after, so this revtion was too tragic. Xiao Chen showed trump card after trump card, going farther and farther from hisprehension.
With a thought from Xiao Chen, the purple fire returned to his eye and the purple Lightning Talisman to his forehead. Then he gently drifted down to Princess Yao Yan’s side.
Once again, without saying anything, Xiao Chen clearly indicated his stance. He stood on the Merfolk Race’s side.
Princess Yao Yan nodded gently to Xiao Chen before saying, “Since the two of you have nothing to say, I have. These words are for everyone else here as well.
“It is true that there are supreme treasures in the Sea Monarch Pce. However, those that can be discovered have already been taken away by my Merfolk Race. This will probably end up disappointing everyone.”
As expected, there were no changes to her listeners’ expressions. This situation did not require any effort to figure out. The Merfolk were not stupid. Since they had tampered with the seal, they would definitely take away the things that they discovered.
What everyone hoped was that there were treasures that remained undiscovered. Thews of space and time were woven into the Sea Monarch Pce, turning it into a small world; it was boundlesslyrge. The Merfolk Race cultivators had been in a rush; they would no doubt have missed things.
The Profound Water Sect’s Lang Taotian said, “You did not touch the Sea Monarch’s body, right?”
This was also the thing that everyone anticipated. Most of the people here came from extraordinary backgrounds, so they did not care too much about ordinary treasures. The items on the Sea Monarch were the biggest attraction for them.
Yao Yan answered truthfully, “The Sea Monarch’s body is sealed in the Gilded Coffin. I do not know where it is nor did I go in search of it.”
So long as the Merfolk Race had not taken it, everything was fine. As long as they entered, they could find it.
After clearing her throat, Yao Yan continued, “Yao Yan is aware of everyone’s true purpose ining here. After entering the Sea Monarch Pce, if there are people who want to move about on their own, I will not interfere. However, if there is any danger, the Merfolk Race will not be responsible.
“Of course, the Merfolk Race will not demand any of the treasures you find in the Sea Monarch Pce. If there are people who are willing to apany Young Master Xiao to seal the evil Demon’s main body, the Merfolk Race will grant them a separate reward, aside from all the spoils gained along the way.
“Everyone saw the might of Young Master Xiao’s Purple Thunder True Fire. It is up to you to decide what you want; just think about it for yourselves.”
Xiao Chen nodded to himself. This Yao Yan handled things quite well. After all, as long as these people entered, they would take on a portion of the pressure from the evil Demon clones. As for what they wanted to do, they could decide for themselves.
Those who wanted to take risks would travel alone. Those who preferred safety would follow Xiao Chen and truly work to seal the evil Demon.
No one raised any objection, so Yao Yan started giving out jade pendants. With this token, one would be able to pass through the outer seal and enter the Sea Monarch Pce.
The jade pendant had two types—the master and the ve. With the core jade pendant in Yao Yan’s hand acting as the master jade pendant, she could feel the location of all the ve jade pendants. If there was any danger, she could learn of it right away through the master jade pendant as well.
When it was the turn of the two people from Peni Sea, Yao Yan did not give them any jade pendants.
The green-robed youth hesitated for a while before saying, “Your Highness, please issue me and my junior brother a jade pendant. With our strength, we will be able to kill several evil Demon clones and make a contribution to the Merfolk Race.”
Toying with the jade pendant in his hand, Qi Wuxue showed a careless smile. He said, “Did I hear wrong? Aren’t you two major characters from that so-called Peni Sea? Weren’t your words very arrogant earlier, looking down on this and that? Why do you humble yourselves now to beg for this jade pendant?”
After Qi Wuxue finished speaking, his expression changed as he mimicked them in an exaggerated manner. “My junior brother has the Purple Thunder True Fire, the king of lightning-attributed mes. Your Merfolk Race cannot depend on anyone else other than my junior brother.”
Qi Wuxue imitated the youth’s manner so skillfully that the surrounding people burst out inughter.
The green-robed youth’s junior brother looked like he would spew fire from his eyes. However, when he was about to make a move, the green-robed youth stopped him.
Qi Wuxue chuckled and said, “You better not do anything. These were your Senior Brother’s words, not mine. I am very afraid of the Purple Thunder True Fire, the king of lightning-attributed mes. How powerful, how very powerful! As bright as the sun in the day, so dazzling that the eyes can’t look at it.”
The words “so dazzling that the eyes can’t look at it” made everyone aroundugh out loud again.
The green-robed youth was extremely furious, but he still endured it without losing his temper. He said something to Yao Yan in a low voice, making some guarantees, and finally managed to obtain two jade pendants.
