"Heh, it's quite lively out there indeed."
At that moment.
Another group of people flew over from a Xuantian Great Vessel in the fleet ahead.
This group numbered over fifty or sixty.
To be precise.
They weren't people at all.
They were demons who had taken human form, and the demonic aura emanating from each one was exceptionally dense, appearing to be old monsters who had cultivated for who knows how many years.
The three leading figures, aside from their demonic aura, also possessed a special spiritual aura. That aura was immensely powerful, dark and evil, yin and profound, changing endlessly like the myriad forms of water.
When the experienced, well-informed old-timers present detected this aura, their expressions all changed drastically, for they all knew that only Supreme Demon Beasts who had received the Demonic Dao's Edict Mandate would possess such a creative aura.
Good heavens!
Three Supreme Demon Beasts had actually come!
However.
The one who had spoken was neither the dozens of old monsters nor the three leading Supreme Demon Beasts.
It was the rather handsome-looking man walking at the very front.
That man wore black clothes with a bright red cloak draped behind him. His head of purple hair was particularly eye-catching, and a strange, sinister smile hung on his handsome face.
Seeing this man.
Whether it was Yunzhou, Mufeng, or Mo Baiyu, the expressions of everyone present turned solemn, for they all recognized this man.
It was precisely the Monster Immortal Fuying, who had received both the Immortal Dao's and the Demonic Dao's Edict Mandates.
"If I recall correctly, this should be Upper Immortal Bai Yu, correct?"
Fuying's smiling gaze swept over the crowd one by one before settling on Mo Baiyu. "Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we last met."
"Monster Immortal Fuying, I trust you've been well."
Although Mo Baiyu was somewhat wary of Fuying, facing him now, he still appeared calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I'm fine for now. As for whether I'll remain fine in the future, who knows?"
"Oh?"
Mo Baiyu asked softly, "What do you mean by that, Monster Immortal Fuying?"
"Among you Upper Immortals, there is one who is quite arrogant. Just now, he even issued a harsh warning, saying that once we reach Lingluo Heavenly Domain, he'll make sure I regret it."
Hearing this, Mo Baiyu immediately thought of Yuanwu.
Only someone as immature as Yuanwu would say something so foolish.
And indeed, that was the case.
Earlier, Yuanwu had almost come to blows with a Supreme Demon Beast behind Fuying. Although Yunzhou and the others intervened in the end, preventing a fight, Yuanwu still issued that harsh warning, telling Fuying and these demons to behave, or else once they reached Lingluo Heavenly Domain, he'd make them regret it.
Among the many heavenly domains of the Great Wilderness, Lingluo Heavenly Domain was a relatively ancient one. Its fame and influence within the Great Wilderness were extraordinary. It contained both cave heavens and blessed lands renowned throughout the Great Wilderness and famous great Dao immortal realms. Various immortal families were too numerous to count. Besides, there were also many Heavenly Mandate Thrones, Great Dao Star Lords, this patriarch, that grand elder. Upper Immortals who had received the Great Dao's Edict Mandate were a dime a dozen. It could absolutely be considered a heavenly domain where dragons and tigers lay hidden.
Figures like Mo Baiyu, Yunzhou, and Yuanwu all hailed from Lingluo Heavenly Domain.
"What?"
Yuanwu stared at Fuying and sneered, "Are you scared?"
Fuying glanced at Yuanwu, smiling without speaking. A Supreme Demon Beast behind him said in a sinister, probing tone, "Little one, the road is long. I advise you not to be too presumptuous or too arrogant. Otherwise, you might not even know how you died when the time comes."
"Just with you?"
Yuanwu instantly flew into a rage. Radiance instantly flickered around his body as he transformed into a Great Sun, illuminating the surrounding darkness of the Great Wilderness with incredible brightness. A powerful might erupted from him, vast and overbearing, like the blazing sun at high noon, its light shining everywhere.
Everyone knew Yuanwu had invoked the Creation of the Radiant Great Sun.
All Upper Immortals who had received the Immortal Dao's Edict Mandate possessed such a Creation!
"Heh!
It's merely the Creation of the Radiant Great Sun. So what!"
As that Supreme Demon Beast's voice fell, he took a step forward. Radiance also flickered around his body as he, too, seemed to transform into a Great Sun.
No.
That wasn't a Great Sun.
It was a full moon.
A bright, clear full moon.
As was well known.
The Radiant Great Sun symbolized immortals and buddhas; it was sacred.
The Dark Full Moon symbolized demons and monsters; it was evil.
All Upper Immortals who had received the Immortal Dao's Edict Mandate, bestowed by the Nine Heavens, possessed the Radiant Great Sun Body, hence they possessed the Creation of the Radiant Great Sun.
And all Supreme Demon Beasts who had received the Demonic Dao's Edict Mandate, bestowed by the Nine Nethers, possessed the Dark Full Moon Body, and similarly possessed the Creation of the Dark Full Moon.
Thus.
Upper Immortal versus Supreme Demon Beast.
Great Sun versus Full Moon.
Darkness versus Light.
Sacred versus Evil.
Yuanwu, transformed into the Radiant Great Sun, erupted with a might as scorching as fire, fierce and overbearing, full of vitality.
Whereas the Supreme Demon Beast, transformed into the Dark Full Moon, erupted with a might that was yin and soft like water, profound and myriad, filled with the aura of decay.
No one expected Yuanwu to act so decisively. However, this time, Yunzhou and the other Upper Immortals did not intervene to stop him, for they could all see that Yuanwu and that Supreme Demon Beast were evenly matched in strength. As long as no outsiders interfered, neither would likely be able to gain the upper hand over the other—at least, judging solely from the might of the Radiant Great Sun and the Dark Full Moon they had invoked, they were on par.
Although there were two other Supreme Demon Beasts opposite, and even an expert like Fuying who bore two Edict Mandates, they did not make a move.
Even if they did, the experts behind Yuanwu wouldn't just stand by and watch him suffer.
Upper Immortals like Yuanwu, Mo Baiyu, and Yunzhou, who had received the Immortal Dao's Edict Mandate, were the precious treasures of their respective immortal realms and families. Each one represented the painstaking effort invested by their great immortal realm families, and behind each one lay immense webs of interest.
Therefore, whenever such Upper Immortals went out, they were inevitably accompanied by a host of experts responsible for their personal safety.
Yunzhou was, Mo Baiyu was, and Yuanwu was no exception.
When Yuanwu made his move, the twenty-plus experts behind him instantly flashed to his side. Although none of them acted, the radiance around each one flickered faintly, the power within their bodies poised to strike, their eyes watching the situation on the scene like tigers eyeing their prey. The moment they sensed Yuanwu was in danger, they would not hesitate to act, sparing no cost to protect his personal safety.
Moreover.
Nearby, Yunzhou, Mufeng, and even Mo Baiyu were not idle bystanders either.
They might not have any friendship with Yuanwu; in fact, not only did they lack friendship, they also rather disliked him.
However.
Regardless, Yuanwu was also a member of the Immortal Dao, and an Upper Immortal who had received the Immortal Dao's Edict Mandate at that. If he were bullied by the Demonic Dao right under their noses... if word didn't get out, it would be fine. But once it spread, not only would they lose face, their reputations would be ruined. They might even face reprimands from the Nine Heavens, and it wasn't impossible for their Immortal Dao Edict Mandates to be revoked.
Therefore.
If Fuying and these demons also intervened, these Upper Immortals would absolutely not stand idly by.
