Chapter 627: Tianzu Continent
Overseas, along the coastal areas of the Tianzu Continent.
Su Xi followed those dozens of strange creatures, wrapped in evil flames, to this continent.
It was her first time on this continent.
As she set foot on this land, she couldn't help but slightly frown, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
The Tianzu Continent gave her an uneasy feeling, as if there was a natural rejection.
Indeed, that was the case.
When Su Xi stepped onto the Tianzu Continent.
Layers of dark clouds suddenly gathered in the firmament above the continent.
Boom!!
Streaks of dark red lightning flashed.
This cloud and thunder did not possess the majestic heavenly authority of nature, but rather emanated an evil aura, as if it were the thunder of hell itself.
Compared to this evil aura.
What radiated from Su Xi was different.
She appeared in a red and white garment, encircled by a flashing red ribbon that wrapped around her, emitting a powerful aura.
This aura belonged to a Spiritual Treasure.
Originating from the Divinity Continent, Spiritual Treasures seemed to naturally conflict with the Tianzu Continent.
The two auras were in opposition.
Witnessing this scene.
Su Xi probably understood that the Tianzu Continent wanted to make her, the outsider, bow her head.
Although she understood, she had no intention of bowing down.
Su Xi gave a faint smile, lifted her head to look at the firmament, her eyes turning purple.
"My strength has recovered seventy percent, and I can unleash the power of the Peak of the Mahayana Realm in a short fight. If I strike with all my might, it could be comparable to the Immortal Realm. Do you need me to take action?"
A voice sounded in Su Xi's ear.
That was the voice of 'Tianyao Saint Monarch' Starfish.
Su Xi controlled the Zhongzhou Imperial Alliance, whose strength was no less than that of the top Holy Lands.
But most of the time, she simply didn't bother with affairs.
It was the Tianyao Saint Monarch, taking on Su Xi's appearance, who dealt with matters.
It could be said that Tianyao Saint Monarch was her capable assistant.
Su Xi did not let down Tianyao Saint Monarch either, she had always been searching for natural treasures to help Tianyao Saint Monarch recover strength.
"No need."
However, Su Xi shook her head and declined.
Did they really think that her Puppetry Path was a joke?
When she was weak, she almost caused a catastrophe in the Divinity Continent.
Not to mention now that she had grown stronger.
"Alright, call me anytime if you need assistance."
Tianyao Saint Monarch responded with this sentence and then fell silent.
Su Xi wholeheartedly summoned her own aura.
At the same time, countless puppets within her storage bag also erupted with aura.
All auras combined.
An aura rivaling that of the Mahayana Realm emerged naturally.
Boom!
Evil auras in the firmament clashed with Su Xi's aura, and a loud explosion sounded mid-air.
The dozens of strange creatures were frightened into kneeling on the ground, trembling.
The next moment, another imposing aura surged up, dispersing all the clouds and lightning in the firmament.
"How can we be rude to a distinguished guest from another land? Stand down!"
A voice came from afar.
Su Xi lifted her head, her purple gaze turned towards the distance.
Within her line of sight.
A huge figure suddenly appeared in the distance.
It was a creature wrapped in flames, with a long dragon tail, two pairs of enormous bone wings, a dragon's head, and a body covered in scales.
This creature not only had a peculiar appearance but also an aura like that of a demon from the abyss, instilling an extreme sense of terror.
Even Su Xi couldn't help but feel momentarily dazed during the instant their eyes met.
"Respected guest, you were startled."
This strange creature arrived face-to-face with Su Xi in just a few blinks, considerately changing its size to match hers.
"Who... who are you?"
Su Xi took a deep breath and asked.
She had a vague feeling.
The creature before her seemed no weaker than her own sect's eldest senior brother...
"Honored guest, I am the Sloth Demon King from the Tianzu Continent; you may address me as Belial."
This creature 'Belial', despite his exaggerated appearance and a voice full of malevolence, moved with the grace of nobility.
"From the Divinity Continent, fifth disciple of the Wayless Sect, Alliance Hierarch Su Xi."
Su Xi also performed a gesture of etiquette.
"Mmhmm, that esteemed guest who has not shown himself, we from the Tianzu Continent do not casually attack esteemed guests who might visit, rest assured."
Belial looked down at Su Xi, then raised his head to gaze at the void in front of him, stretching a 'kind' smile as he spoke.
Hum!!
A sword hum trembled through the void.
Then it receded.
Su Xi tilted her head up slightly as if she understood something.
Had her eldest senior brother been protecting her all along?
So that was it.
Her eldest senior brother's Divine Sense had never left her side.
"Respected guest, please follow me. We shall go to the central area of Tianzu Continent to discuss the matters of the alliance."
Belial tried hard to keep a friendly expression.
"Alright."
Su Xi nodded slightly in agreement.
Upon hearing this,
Belial immediately took to the air and flew in a certain direction.
Su Xi followed suit.
During the flight,
Su Xi communicated with the 'Tianyao Saint Monarch' inside her storage bag.
"Can you determine that person's combat power?"
Su Xi was inquiring of Tianyao Saint Monarch.
"I cannot; he's very strong, on the same level as your eldest senior brother, but possibly not as strong. Don't worry, if he becomes aggressive, I am confident I can stop him briefly. Your eldest senior brother's Divine Sense seems to be nearby; he will come to save you at a moment's notice."
Tianyao Saint Monarch explained in an assuring tone.
"Alright."
Su Xi nodded slightly, now understanding.
The person and soul communicated for a while longer.
They didn't stop talking until they reached their destination.
Belial led Su Xi to a central landmass within.
Why call it a central landmass?
Because at the very center of Tianzu Continent is a vast sea, and above that sea floats a tract of land.
Thus Su Xi referred to it as the central landmass.
"Honored guest, this is our location for discussion. This place is called Flower-Fruit Mountain, the dwelling of the strongest being in Tianzu Continent. The powerful from other continents have already arrived inside; let us go in as well."
Belial turned around, showing a smile, and spoke.
"Alright."
Su Xi nodded.
The two flew into the interior.
Upon entering this 'landmass', Su Xi was somewhat startled.
This landmass was quite peculiar.
How so, you might ask...
For instance, the Tianzu Continent was shrouded in dark and toxic miasma, exuding a sense of utmost evil and corruption, with hardly any human presence, not even a being in human form.
However, within this landmass, there was a pervasive Spiritual Energy.
This Spiritual Energy was faint, yet unquestionably present.
Moreover, this landmass was inhabited by many monkeys and actually seemed more like a place where humans could dwell.
"This Tianzu Continent is quite strange."
Su Xi murmured softly.
In all her life, she had never seen such a peculiar continent.
This visit, too, could be considered an eye-opener...
