Not a Genius, I'm Above

The region where Chu Peng was located, somewhere around those four cities and the bandit camp, this region wasn't close nor was it far away from Concealed City. In short, it was still within the range of the several hundred thousand miles that Blade's divine sense encompassed.

The words Blade's consciousness proclaimed had reached into the minds of several beings. All who resided in the Concealed City, and all who were close to Chu Peng, hiding inside the void, watching every action Chu Peng made. Most importantly, it entered the mind of Chu Peng!

Spread out across hundreds of thousands of miles, the tens of millions of residents of this continent were left in utter shock. In this continent, more than half of it had received in their minds the shocking declaration Blade made.

Those who didn't were simply too far away from Blade's divine sense range. But due to the numbers that were in his range, these people quickly got to know the shocking news. In less than thirty minutes, the news was carried beyond the Limitless Sky Continent.

In an hour, the whole world knew. It was as if the whole world was in a WhatsApp group. No, it was simply due to the higher-ups of pinnacle powers conveying the news to their friends or disciples.

These friends or disciples may be Martial Emperors, Martial Kings, or Martial Lords, who'd then spread the news to the martial great grandmasters and these cultivators would share it to... Eventually, the news would reach the normal mortals.

Though beings outside the main continents, continents like Demon's Playground where Blade, Athena, and Andra came from didn't know the news, basically it was the whole world since the main continents hosted tens to hundreds of millions of individuals.

Overall, several billion entities had heard of the statement. The declaration was the single most interesting thing taking place.

Once the fight between the Holy Child Blade of the Limitless Sky Sect and the Holy Child Chu Peng of the Heavenly Demon Sect took place, the result would leave one pinnacle power and its reputation in the mud.

Chu Peng had long revealed that he'd done everything soo far simply to get to and thereafter kill Blade Pure-Heart, to prove he was the most talented.

Though other pinnacle powers didn't believe that their talents were inferior to Chu Peng, if he was to lose to Blade's hands, then he along with Heavenly Demon Sect would become a joke.

Whereas, if Blade was to lose even after all the suffering Chu Peng caused to this generation of the Limitless Sky Sect, then this would truly make Limitless Sky Sect a laughing stock. All their genius was done over by a single man!

What a farce it would be.

...

...

In the Limitless Sky Sect, a disheartened Astral had just received news from another Overseer. Since the location of the Sect was just outside the range of the divine sense, Astral didn't receive the declaration in his mind.

It wasn't as if he nor others would constantly release their divine sense. As humans, many disturbing things took place. From rods penetrating caves to rods and other rods clashing. Even the forbidden multi-rod battles.

Neither Overseers nor the Chief Elders and Sect Leader wished to see disciples young enough to be considered infants clash rods or anything else for that matter. So their divine sense doesn't usually be covering. So the statement took a while for it to reach his ears but, when it did, pure shock.

Sitting cross-legged under the sunlight of the green star in the skies, Astral's eyes were closed as he calmed his thumping heart. He couldn't do anything previously, but this time he was smiling in his mind. He was calm and confident, waiting to make a move when Chu Peng was about to be killed.

"Though Blade is being controlled by his anger and most likely will lose to Chu Peng, that demonic fellow will likely try to kill Blade, activating the sword intent I left on Blade's glabella. Once that occurs, no one can say the older generation intervened.

This can be considered Blade's treasure anyway... But that Heavenly Demon wouldn't sit and watch her son die, so I'll then have the luxury of intervening. Even if a battle takes place, hehe, this is for keeping up our image and not for revenge, so there isn't a need to worry about any casualties since it's for the greater good!"

Yes, this was the Limitless Void World rule. He could kill Chu Peng because a battle between him and the Heavenly Demon would occur which would result in the destruction of this continent merely from the shockwaves...

But if it is to protect the dignity of the Limitless Sky Sect and by extension the Limitless Void World... All casualties will merely be deemed as "for the greater good of the Limitless Void World."

Though he wasn't confident in Blade's power, he was confident in his sword intent so he waited patiently with pure excitement for this inevitable clash.

Three other figures which were the two other Overseers and the Sect Leader then appeared. With a wave of his hand, the only other male Overseer opened a space in the space as Astral stood up and entered, followed by the male Overseer, the last Overseer, and the Sect Leader.

No words were spoken as they were all busy with their thoughts. Shock, worry, and fear for Blade's life were all bubbling and mixed. Yes, they cared for Blade, but more so for the face of the Limitless Sky Sect.

...

...

"Interesting." Andra's body was laying lifelessly on the ground. To make Blade even more resentful, Chu Peng sat on Andra's presumed corpse and awaited Blade as he heard the words loud and clear inside his mind.

"It seems that he's gained some type of treasure. Does he think by using some technique only Mortal Sages can use after developing a divine sense, he'll scare me?" Chu Peng had an arrogant smirk.

Humph!

"No matter how genius he thinks he is, it is impossible to become a Mortal Sage in two months even if he was a Martial Sovereign before." Chu Peng analyzed.

"And even if he was one, as Chu Peng, it wouldn't be difficult for me to fight against normal Mortal Sages myself. After all, I'm only a sliver away from the realm of a Martial Sovereign... As a genius, it wouldn't be the first time fighting one or two realms above my own."

"So what if he's a genius? So what if his battle strength is higher than his realm? I am Chu Peng, a being of complete perfection. Unlike my poor brother, I was born and had successfully awakened my talent as a Demon and my potential as a Human.

I'm not a genius, I'm Chu Peng, someone in a realm above the realms of geniuses."

Thrum!

Boundless arrogance radiated from his voice. All those individuals hiding in the void nearby from the pinnacle powers felt their blood boil in anger due to his words.

This fellow was a little too arrogant!

And that useless Limitless Sky Sect, all those useless geniuses, and that useless Young Holy Child Dolion, all of them fed Chu Peng's arrogance even more. These were the thoughts that flashed in their minds.

Bam! Urgh...!

But, suddenly in the eyes of all beings, someone made their appearance. In an instant, this person's figure turned blurry as it appeared in front of Chu Peng as it sent a kick that landed on Chu Peng's chin, sending him flying while spitting blood.

"This...!"

Those hidden individuals sucked in a cold breath of air. Some even rubbed their eyes to make sure they saw what their eyes showed.

Standing over Andra's body, Blade's purple-haired figure could be seen. The space around his body was distorted as his back was turned to wherever Chu Peng's body had been sent flying toward.

Appearing beside him was Athena who had a look of pure astonishment in her eyes. These crimson eyes were focused on the figure or corpse on the ground.

"Hey, you aren't in such bad shape..." Blade suddenly said. "You made me worry for nothing." He continued as he crouched down and picked up Andra's body. Seeing the bloodied fellow, the crimson blood oozing out of her wounds, Blade smirked.

"Don't think you can trick me by stopping the flow of your heart. If you did this as a Martial Lord, I'd still be scared but Martial Kings have all the control over their internal and external bodies.

If you were someone else who had their neck crushed, I'll be scared but you are Andra, my Andra, and all my women are special." Seeing no reply, Blade continued.

"The final straw is very simple. Your blood is red. Your true blood is blue but due to the technique, used to hide your demonic aura and your gender, your blood is now red. If you were in a state close to death, the technique would momentarily be broken and you'll enter your true form which will also give you a power boost... No such thing has happened, so you are fine."

"Damn!" Andra's eyes shot open. "Maybe I shouldn't have told you everything about me... I could have seen you despair in rage today... Ah! What a missed opportunity!"
