Chapter 325: Jingjing's Return
The existence of the War Ancestor's Fragmented Soul is known only to Sun Zhe and Tang Yuexi, along with the leaders of the Six Great Titans. The countless strong warriors of the Nine Continents are completely unaware, and the demon clan warriors are even less informed.
Although this War Clan Soul Fragment possesses only a fraction of combat power, it is still the combat power of an unparalleled strong warrior. Moreover, this unparalleled strong warrior was once known as the number one war god of the Nine Continents, the Supreme War Ancestor of the War Clan. His combat power can completely turn the tide in critical moments. Therefore, the Six Great Titans plan to use him as a hidden trump card in the Nine Continents, with Sun Zhe being the one who holds this trump card in the eyes of countless Supreme Combat Bodies.
With the return of the Six Great Titans, the War Ancestor reintegrated into the battlefield, and the vast Ancient Hall transformed once again into a world for Sun Zhe and Tang Yuexi.
As time passed, the Demon Army had yet to arrive. Unlike other strong warriors of the Nine Continents who were diligently cultivating during this brief period before battle, Sun Zhe remained by Tang Yuexi's side. It wasn't that he didn't understand the gravity of the situation; rather, his cultivation level had already reached the limit of Holy Rank and could not be improved in a short time.
His spiritual power had reached Saint Level Pinnacle, and his mastery over Law had even surpassed the Initial Stage of Divine Realm, nearing mid-Divine Realm. What he needed most was to break through that barrier in his realm, but such a breakthrough could not be achieved through hard training alone. Thus, all he could do was rest well and adjust his state to its peak.
Sun Zhe did not leave the battlefield; after all, he was a representative of the War Clan. He and Tang Yuexi stayed within the Ancient Hall. This Ancient Hall on the battlefield was quite peculiar; those outside could not see what was happening inside, but those within could clearly see everything outside. Watching the strange scenes unfold beyond the battlefield, they shared stories about each other's pasts, making time pass quickly.
"What happened after you returned to Twin Lion City? Were there people from Golden Thunder Sect lying in wait there? How did you deal with them?" Seeing Sun Zhe stop mid-sentence again, Tang Yuexi immediately became frustrated. Every time he spoke halfway and then stopped, it felt like he was deliberately teasing her. This feeling was unbearable for her.
"Well, let's leave it at that for now. We'll continue tomorrow. To know what happens next, please tune in next time..."
Ignoring Tang Yuexi's expression of dissatisfaction, Sun Zhe spoke with a playful smile. As soon as he saw Tang Yuexi reach out her hands toward him, he instantly dodged out of her grasp with a flash. With his mastery of Lightning Release Technique, his speed in evading was such that even someone a level or two above him might struggle to keep up.
"Hmph! Fine! I won't listen next time!"
Seeing Sun Zhe evade her grasp, Tang Yuexi realized she couldn't match his speed and stopped pursuing him. She shot him an annoyed glare and repeated a phrase she had said many times before. Of course, by the time Sun Zhe spoke again tomorrow, she would have likely forgotten everything from today.
"You..."
Just as Sun Zhe was about to speak again, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart as if sensing something extraordinary. A look of ecstatic joy spread across his face as he swiftly embraced Tang Yuexi without waiting for her response. In an instant, their figures appeared at the top level of the Ancient Hall. The wind howled around them, causing their garments to flutter wildly.
"What’s wrong?" Seeing Sun Zhe's sudden change in expression, Tang Yuexi asked in confusion. She couldn't understand what had caused such a strong reaction from him.
"Look over there!" Without explaining further, Sun Zhe pointed toward the northwest direction of the continent and spoke to Tang Yuexi. His Jet Black Eyes flickered slightly as an unusual excitement appeared on his face. Given his current status and strength, it was rare for anything to elicit such a reaction from him.
"What’s happening over there?"
Tang Yuexi was puzzled and followed the direction indicated by Sun Zhe's right hand, looking towards the northwest of the continent. With her substantial Holy Rank cultivation, although she couldn't see for miles at a glance, she could clearly observe the area within several dozen miles. Upon seeing the scene dozens of miles away, her delicate body involuntarily trembled, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Flames—crimson flames—filled her vision, all that she could see was the incredibly intense fire, resembling a massive fireball burning fiercely. The entire area was dyed a deep red, and the endless flames were flying towards the Border Battlefield. The temperature in the surrounding area rose sharply, as if even the air had ignited, glowing with a faint red light.
Due to the Great War General's rise, all ordinary people within the Han Kingdom had been relocated elsewhere. With millions of powerful beings arriving, the entire Han Kingdom had turned into a forbidden zone. Defensive lines were set up along the borders of the Han Kingdom to prevent any troublemakers from causing disturbances. Most of those stationed there were experts; although ordinary Supreme Combat Bodies would not be deployed, there were still quite a few Saint-Level Experts among them.
However, strangely enough, as the massive fireball approached, those responsible for defense—the Saint-Level Experts—could only watch it come closer without daring to intervene. It wasn't that they lacked strength; rather, the power of this flame was somewhat abnormal. Even some Initial Stage of Divine Realm experts would find it impossible to handle such flames. If they came into contact with it even slightly, they would be reduced to ashes.
"Hmph, what beast dares to cause trouble at the Border Battlefield?"
A cold shout echoed from four massive cities closest to the giant fireball. Four beams of Golden Light shot up from these cities, tracing golden arcs as they flew directly towards the blazing fireball and appeared before it in an instant.
The four individuals waved their right hands simultaneously, and immediately, the winds and clouds changed dramatically. Earth Power began to gather frantically towards their hands; this was a demonstration of Supreme Combat Body's signature ability. Moreover, these four were not mere Initial Stage of Divine Realm experts but genuine mid-stage Divine Realm powerhouses!
With four mid-stage Divine Realm experts joining forces, the endless flames were instantly suppressed. The raging fire that had been burning fiercely was extinguished in an instant. The four individuals moved their hands gracefully, and brilliant lights shot out from their palms, transforming into a golden giant cauldron that enveloped the massive fireball. An indescribable Earth Power surged from all directions towards it.
"Let's go over there!"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Shao turned to Tang Yuexi and spoke.
"What are we going over there for?" Tang Yuexi still did not understand what was happening.
"Hehe, you'll know once you get there."
With a slight smile, Sun Zhe did not elaborate further and instantly teleported to where the fireball was located. As he moved, the War Clan Soul Fragment that had merged with the battlefield also integrated into his body and flew towards the fireball alongside him. Tang Yuexi glared fiercely at Sun Zhe but had no choice but to follow him.
"Four seniors, please wait..."
Just as those four mid-stage Divine Realm experts were about to take action against the fireball, a clear voice suddenly rang out. The four looked up and saw a figure swiftly flying towards them from the highest battle platform—it was none other than Sun Zhe who had rushed over in haste. Shortly after Sun Zhe arrived, Tang Yuexi appeared beside him in her flowing white dress, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
"The four old men pay their respects to Sword Sovereign!"
These four elders were mid-stage Divine Realm experts from Blade Domain who usually stayed in seclusion within Blade Domain for cultivation but were not unfamiliar with Sun Zhe, Blade Domain's Sword Sovereign.
"Ha ha, the four seniors are being too polite. This is my demon beast; it was just a moment of playfulness that led to this situation. I kindly ask the four seniors to show some mercy." Sun Zhe explained politely, cupping his hands in front of the four elders without showing any arrogance despite their respect.
"Brother Sun Zhe, how did you know it was me? I was planning to give you a surprise!"
A slightly childish voice rang out in front of Sun Zhe. The massive fireball that had been burning fiercely vanished in an instant, replaced by a handsome young boy with red lips and white teeth. He appeared to be around thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a luxurious red robe that made him look incredibly noble. Sun Zhe immediately recognized that this boy was Jingjing after his transformation.
"This..."
Seeing the suddenly appeared Jingjing, the four elders from Blade Domain were somewhat surprised. It wasn't because they were astonished that Jingjing had transformed into a human; any demon beast that reached Holy Rank could do so. What surprised them was that Jingjing had silently broken through their restrictions. Although they hadn't used their full strength, it shouldn't have been possible for a Holy Rank demon beast to break through, yet Jingjing had clearly done it.
"You are Jingjing?" This time, it was Tang Yuexi who was surprised. She never expected that the one Sun Zhe came to greet would be Jingjing. Thinking back to that cute little fellow who had suddenly turned into a handsome young man left her momentarily stunned.
"Sister Tang Yuexi, Jingjing wants a hug!" Upon seeing Tang Yuexi, Jingjing's eyes instantly lit up, and he immediately lunged toward her.
However, before he could reach her, a black figure had already blocked his path and slapped his head with a "smack!"
"No more hugs from now on. Only your Ruo Xi sister can hug you; no one else can, including you!" Even facing his own demon beast, Sun Zhe showed no room for negotiation and began firmly.
