Chapter 816
Modan stood in the starry sky opposite another person.
"Tuo Eternal!" Modan looked at the person before him, his expression unpleasant.
Tuo Eternal, one of the ancestors of the Eternal Family, was also a top Super Warrior of the fourth level within the Super Realm. Modan had originally thought that Eternal Tuba's assault on Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng's party was merely a personal act by Eternal Tuba.
Now, the attack from Tuo Eternal immediately made Modan's mood sink.
He guessed that the matter was not as simple as he had initially thought; perhaps... the Eternal Family was also involved.
"Could it be that the three top Super Forces are really planning to make a move on Immortal Origin Holy Land?" Modan sighed slightly in his heart.
After all, both Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng were from the old site of Immortal Origin Holy Land. By targeting them, the Eternal Family was disregarding Immortal Origin Holy Land.
Previously, the Firestone Family took action against Lin Yun.
Although Chu Lee was a factor, the Firestone Family would not have dared to do such a thing if they acknowledged the authority of Immortal Origin Holy Land, let alone considering that Lin Yun came from the old site of Immortal Origin Holy Land, much like Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng, and that the Holy Land valued Lin Yun quite a lot due to the Holy Mother.
Given the status of the Firestone Family, they certainly knew of the Holy Mother. If they still held the Immortal Origin Holy Land and the Holy Mother in regard, they would not dare to carry out such actions. Yet, the Firestone Family did so.
Modan had a faint understanding of the three great families' intentions towards Immortal Origin Holy Land but was not entirely sure.
Now, thinking back to the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition, the initial provocation of Lin Yun by the disciples of the Aolai Family, followed by the behaviors of the Firestone Family and now that of the Eternal Family...
His mood sank further and further.
"I'm afraid it's hard for me to escape this time..." Modan felt a slight bitterness in his heart.
Some time ago, he had joined with Lin Yun and Shengyi to kill Wei Firestone, a top ancestor of the Firestone Family. Additionally, he generally had a good relationship with the Immortal Origin Holy Land. He did not believe that if the three great families decided to join forces against Immortal Origin Holy Land, they would let him go in the end.
"Brother Modan, take it easy..." A white-robed elder said with a smile, looking at Modan.
"Tuo Eternal, that's someone from Immortal Origin Holy Land. By doing this, is your Eternal Family intending to challenge the dignity of Immortal Origin Holy Land?" Modan said in a deep voice.
"Brother Modan, you're going a bit too far with your words. How could our Eternal Family dare to challenge the authority of Immortal Origin Holy Land? Besides, among those people, only two come from the old site of Immortal Origin Holy Land. You should know, they are not really considered people of Immortal Origin Holy Land..." Tuo Eternal shook his head slightly.
"Regardless of whether they are people from Immortal Origin Holy Land, what did they do to make Eternal Tuba take such action? This is the site of the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition, with countless forces watching!" Modan said coldly.
"Hehe, Brother Modan, aren't your words a bit biased? Earlier, when Lin Yun took action against the other contestants, I did not see Brother Modan interfere. When you and others were dealing with Ao Brother and Wei Brother, I also didn't see you considering that we are holding the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition here!" Tuo Eternal said with a faint smile.
"Boom—"
In the midst of their conversation, on the other side, the battle had already started. The attacks from Eternal Tuba along with the counterattack and defense from Lianshan, Qing Luo, and their party collided, causing violent explosions in the starry sky.
"What?"
Eternal Tuba was slightly surprised.
His strength was equivalent to a Super Warrior of the second level within the Super Realm. He had already checked the information of Lianshan and Qing Luo's party, who had been just ordinary Half Step Super Warriors. Even if he hadn't checked, he had seen them in action during the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition.
In his view, dealing with these people was supposed to be easy, not an instant kill perhaps, but something that could be resolved within two or three moves.
However, after several moves, he had still not broken through their defense?
Such a level of strength was probably not much different from some of the more formidable Super Warriors on the first level of the Super Realm.
There's only a half step between Half Step Super Realm and Super Realm, but the difference in strength between warriors of these two levels is as vast as the heavens and the earth!
Yet how could a few ordinary Half Step Super Warriors combine to have such strength? It was truly unexpected!
"Protect Qingqing and Mengmeng well..." Lianshan's eyes flashed as he spoke softly on the other side.
If earlier, their combined efforts would naturally mean no match for Eternal Tuba in one or two moves, but after consuming several drops of Super Golden Liquid and cultivating in the Heavenly Principle Tower for over half a year, their strength had increased a lot, granting them their current power.
However, the awe of Super Warriors had been deeply entrenched in their hearts. The strength Eternal Tuba displayed during the competition made them clearly aware that his strength was far superior to that of general Super Warriors, which is why they initially had no confidence in defending against Tuo Eternal's attacks.
Now, having blocked several of Eternal Tuba's attacks in succession, their confidence surged.
Turns out their strength had become so formidable.
While speaking, Lianshan's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Modan in the distance, causing his heart to sink slightly. He knew that Modan was being held up by a very powerful Super Warrior and that it was unlikely Modan could come to their aid soon—it would be up to them alone.
"Hmm," Qing Luo, Huayang, and Meng Black nodded and responded in agreement.
Since Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng had too low a realm, this battle relied solely on them as Half Step Super Warriors—they were all acutely aware of this fact.
"We are all Half Step Super Realm; I refuse to believe that the Half Step Super Warriors of the Eternal Family are that much stronger than a few of us combined..." At the same time, Qing Luo shouted lowly, his voice filled with strong fighting spirit.
"Boom! Whirr! Whirr! Boom!"
In the midst of their conversation, they were rapidly exchanging blows with Eternal Tuba, colliding with each move. For a moment, the colors of heaven and earth changed, and the sun and moon lost their light.
In the distance, many contestants were watching the battle.
"They actually blocked Eternal Tuba's attacks!"
"Eternal Tuba's strength is not simple. It seems that their strength is also not weak!"
Some Cultivators exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene.
"It may not be simple, but the Ancestor of the Eternal Family has already appeared," clearly set on fighting these people to the bitter end, and even... the Aolai Family and Firestone Family might get involved... The lives of these people are in jeopardy..."
"Merely the struggle of the dying!"
"The fault lies in them being friends of Lin Yun! Before, they so arrogantly snatched away others' achievements!"
"Heaven's wrath can be forgivable, self-inflicted disaster cannot be lived through..."
Some Cultivators shook their heads and said.
Meanwhile, Modan, out of the corner of his eye, also saw this scene and let out a slight sigh of relief.
Earlier, when he exerted his strength to shield Lianshan and his party from the attacks of the Eternal Tuba, and took attacks from both sides, he realized that Lianshan's party was not simple and not so easily defeated.
That's why he had not rushed over to interfere.
For him to go over there would be easy, but it would also lead Tuo Eternal to follow, and who knows what means Tuo Eternal possesses. Then, whether he could fully protect Lianshan and his party was uncertain.
What's most important is that Tuo Eternal could appear at any time; who knows if other powerful beings are hiding in the surrounding space? If he forcibly intervened, and one or two peers of equal strength suddenly appeared, how would he handle it?
Not to mention the hidden powerful beings, the scene itself was home to many supreme geniuses from three major families and ordinary Super Warriors. Before, without someone of his strength level leading, those warriors did not dare to make a move!
Now, with Tuo Eternal appearing, to pull one hair is to move the whole body, and those warriors could take action at any time!
Even if he was confident in stopping Tuo Eternal, he had absolutely no confidence in stopping all the warriors!
So, not going over was the best choice!
He had already sent a message to Can; it wouldn't take long for Can to arrive.
At that time, he could make another move with much more confidence!
On the other side, within the battleground where Lianshan and his party faced Eternal Tuba.
"Heh! Interesting, truly interesting! Good, if you really had no power to resist, it would be no fun for me to fight. Just right, let me vent a little..." Eternal Tuba, after dozens of moves, had yet to break through the defense of Lianshan's party, suddenly sneered and spoke.
Despite saying so, he came with overwhelming momentum, and in his view, this group was as insignificant as ants, but the defensive force they demonstrated had blocked his dozens of attacks.
Even, he faintly heard some cultivators around him seeming to laugh, his failure in the previous competition and now finding an outlet for his anger, without being able to swiftly resolve it, made his face difficult to maintain, and he gradually grew angrier.
"Eternal Thirteen Skills, first form, One Life One Extinguishing One Year of Flowers..." While speaking, Eternal Tuba's long sword danced swiftly, each powerful attack imbued with mysterious profundities was born, assailing Lianshan's party relentlessly.
"Boom..."
"Eternal Thirteen Skills, second form, Two Lives Two Worlds Like Butterfly Dreams..." Before the previous assault was completely blocked by Lianshan's party, Eternal Tuba had already initiated another form and recited it simultaneously.
"Eternal Thirteen Skills, third form, Three Lives Three Worlds Beside the Yellow Springs..." Following the second form, Eternal Tuba softly chanted while his long sword constantly performed the third form as if practicing with a live target, gracefully and at ease.
"Is this the Eternal Family's Eternal Thirteen Skills?"
"Each move harnesses such powerful forces of heaven and earth, what a powerful technique!"
"This Eternal Tuba, just in the Half Step Super Realm, has such strength, truly worthy of being the Eternal Family's unparalleled genius..."
"Too bad, during his previous competition, he didn't get the chance to use this Eternal Thirteen Skills, or maybe, he hadn't mastered these moves well enough to use them. Otherwise, he might not have lost..."
Many Cultivators, and even some ordinary Super Warriors who saw this scene, were shocked.
They were shocked by the strength of the Eternal Thirteen Skills, and equally by the Half Step Super Warriors like Eternal Tuba who could execute such powerful techniques.
"The Eternal Family's Eternal Thirteen Skills are indeed as famous as they say, fortunate that only Super Warriors can fluently execute them. If Eternal Tuba had used this move earlier, I might have been the one defeated..."
"That's right, the Eternal Thirteen Skills are not simple, and if used, I too might not be the match..."
Those who had won and were still in the battle also sighed with relief upon witnessing this scene.
Many Super Powers have mighty trump cards, and the three top-tier Super Powers even more so. The Firestone Family has accumulated many opportunities due to its long history, so their trump card is possessing many powerful magical treasures; the trump card of the Aolai Family is the powerful bloodline in their family, abundant in strong individuals.
Some with rich bloodlines not only advance quickly in their cultivation, but also far surpass peers of the same level; and the trump card of the Eternal Family are these Eternal Thirteen Skills.
It is said that the Eternal Thirteen Skills are very close to the laws of heaven and earth. With the Eternal Thirteen Skills, the geniuses of the Eternal Family have a much higher chance of breaking through to the Super Realm, and the strength of the Eternal Family's Super Warriors also far surpasses that of their peers.
It's just unfortunate that only Super Warriors can use them fluently. Half Step Super Warriors who have touched the power of the laws, can also execute them, but it's difficult to apply them in battle.
In this battle, for example, Lianshan and his party are mostly defending, seldom attacking, which allowed Eternal Tuba to successfully execute them.
"Boom—"
Suddenly, with just three forms of the Eternal Thirteen Skills, the combined defense of Lianshan's party was broken.
A thunderous explosion, as if heaven itself had shattered.
"Pff— Pff— Pff—"
Lianshan and his party were blasted away by the shockwave, each spitting out blood as they flew.
