Chapter 148: Essential Energy

Loud explosions reverberated through the air causing everything within a million metre radius to instantly crumble into nothingness.

Many curious martial practitioners had already lost their lives by mistakenly entering the battle zone just to see what was happening. Even so, many powerhouses with varying cultivation bases still came to watch the fight. After all, such fights between Immortals were extremely rare.

Over a thousand kilometres stood martial practitioners from the Extent realm to the Dao Formation realm. There were even a few paramount gods present.

If someone was to throw five stones at the gathering randomly, it wouldn't be surprising if it struck powerhouses above the Eternal realm.

Such a lineup would cause the Province Masters of the strongest of Provinces to wet their pants.

"What do you think is going on in Chang Court, Burning Ash?" An Eternal realm expert quietly asked the woman beside him.

Although he was at the first tier of Eternal realm, his battle strength would be respected wherever he went but now, his tone carried a strong tinge of respect.

Burning Ash Demonness as she was referred to was a demonic path martial practitioner at the third tier of Dao Formation realm. Although she was a demonic path martial practitioner, she had earned the respect of every force in Western Plains.

When she was at the first tier of Dao Formation realm, she had killed the only son of a certain super clan's Clan Head out of anger. The super clan was enraged, sending eight Dao Formation realm experts to kill her.

However, not only did she manage to escape with her life intact, she even killed four of the Dao Formation realm experts which were at the second and third tier of their realms.

At such levels of cultivation, the difference between one tier was like that of day and night. Killing even one second tier of Dao Formation realm martial practitioner spoke volumes of her battle strength.

After her successful escape, Burning Ash Demonness went into seclusion for many years and when she returned, her cultivation base and risen to the peak of Dao Formation realm. She immediately barged into the super clan's headquarters and killed their Clan Head who was a paramount god.

The super clan understood they had offended a great talent and immediately begged for her mercy and even attempted forming an alliance with her but she refused them out rightly. Ever since then, the dao title Burning Ash Demonness became well known throughout Western Plains.

The beautiful woman smiled at the man's question before replying: "I'm not too sure but I think Chang Court might have earned a visit from Devil Lord Edu Shashou"

"Devil Lord Edu Shashou!" The young looking man exclaimed with visible fear. "Didn't he say that he would go into seclusion and not return until he became an Immortal?"

"That was over ten thousand years ago" Burning Ash Demonness promptly replied.

"Oh" The man sighed gravely. "It seems Western Plains will soon enter an upheaval"

The others around Burning Ash Demonness and the young man easily overhead their discussion and fell silent. Many of them belonged to forces that had been picking on the Devil race. Now that Devil Lord Edu Shashou had successfully broken through to the Immortal realm, the tables might very soon turn.

At once, they left the small gathering to quickly inform their forces about the newest change.

…...

Meanwhile, at the heart of Chang Court's territory, the fight that had attracted many powerhouses still raged on.

The battle was so intense that nothing within a million metre radius of it was spared. Even the originally splendid buildings belonging to Chang Court were nothing but dust that had caved in to form a trench thousands of metres deep.

The sky above it had also chattered to form spatial cracks and fissures that resembled a great spider web.

Despite the abnormal setting, two men, one as large as nine hundred metres and the other with pale skin fought without a care in the world.

These two were naturally Devil Lord Edu Shashou and Thunder Soul Monarch.

Although their cultivation bases were similar, Thunder Soul Monarch was suppressing Devil Lord Edu Shashou's soul with a technique that expended his own soul foundation. Devil Lord Edu Shashou barely had half of his original battle strength.

A gigantic pitch black axe formed from condensed black lightning appeared in Thunder Soul Monarch's hands and with a rapid swing, it descended towards Devil Lord Edu Shashou's neck.

"Hua!"

Even space was cut by the axe as its afterimages filled the void. Devil Lord Edu Shashou could not dodge in time and the black axe struck his shoulder, biting deeply into his body.

The axe broke down into multiple black bolts of lightning that caused the Devil Lord's body to quiver involuntarily.

Thick purple miasma emanated from Devil Lord Edu Shashou's body, filling a hundred metre radius from him.

The miasma was dangerous poison that could corrode internal organs into bloody mush instantly but Thunder Soul Monarch was surrounded by a strong barrier that protected his body.

Even so, the barrier was being corroded by the second and whittled down his Essence.

Devil Lord Edu Shashou swung his battle scythe swiftly as it gave off deep purple radiance. This time, the purple radiance that enveloped the battle scythe was not just death Essence but Essential Energy!
