Amidst the intense focus of the crowd, the Night Emperor was the first to encounter an enemy. Bu Luo, however, was a person the Night Emperor had never seen before.
From a high vantage point, in that fleeting moment of realization, four words suddenly surfaced in the Night Emperor's mind. Although he had never formally crossed paths with this individual, the Night Emperor, who had spent countless nights being hunted and hunting in return, understood deeply that once an assassin relying on stealth was discovered by their enemy, the word "failure" would loom large before them.
No matter how much the Night Emperor tried to conceal his presence in the shadows, he could not escape the gaze of that unfamiliar figure. The man with a feathered fan showed no intention of moving against him; instead, he silently observed the Night Emperor with eyes that seemed to regard him as a captured prey, filled with mockery.
The Night Emperor stood on a branch and slowly rose to his feet, staring intently at the man in the sky, a fierce battle intent igniting within him.
No one knew the origins of the Night Emperor, just as no one knew where Jiang Ping came from. Yet everyone was aware of one thing: the man known as the Night Emperor was an assassin—not merely one who struck from the shadows. Many times, even Ying Zhan found it strange that despite his formidable skills, the Night Emperor never engaged in direct combat. No one knew about the painful past he had endured.
Avoiding direct confrontation did not mean he would never engage in it. After numerous attempts to evade capture, if he could successfully enter the fourth realm from the beginning, the Night Emperor would choose to fight.
At that moment when the Night Emperor faced off against this mysterious individual, Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, encountered the greatest crisis since participating in the Sky East Tournament.
A colossal figure loomed like a mountain, its skin as hard as rock—there was no mistaking the identity of this enemy: a Mountain Giant.
Without much conversation, everyone understood that those blocking their path were certainly not friends. The battle was about to erupt without a moment's hesitation.
Sword techniques, spells, and secret arts surged forth from Tenglan and his companions as they aimed to eliminate the Mountain Giant before another team could appear before them.
Could it be a demon clan?
Filled with doubt, Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, did not hold back as his legs struck out. The Mountain Giant was no ordinary demon; possessing the bloodline heritage of a demon king, the Mountain Giant had its own innate Divine Ability. Although this Divine Ability was well-known, it did not mean there was a way to counter it.
After engaging with the Mountain Giant, Tenglan easily sensed that it was at the mid-stage of the Transcendent of the Port realm. However, its massive physique combined with its Divine Ability made it far too easy for it to evade any attempts to intercept them.
As solid as steel, the ability could make one's body harder than steel itself. Although it wasn't named that way, this defensive Divine Ability had advantages that other defensive abilities lacked. It could withstand most attacks and, like a mountain, its immunity to blades and swords was equally immense.
The demon beasts were fierce creatures, more savage than wild beasts. They were born with an innate fortune that came with their kind from the moment they were created. While they possessed Divine Abilities and received blessings from the heavens, they also faced jealousy from above. Few demon clans could break through their racial limitations; even those with extraordinary talent could not reach the highest achievements of their ancestors. This meant that the demons' ultimate potential had been limited by the heavens. Despite their long lifespans and immense power, they would forever remain stuck at that initial step.
The ancient glory of the demons had nearly faded away. Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, had no idea how magnificent the demon race once was. To understand those races that had existed longer than humanity, one would likely have to venture into the heavenly realm for even a glimpse of their past.
Tenglan understood that demons were far more powerful than many imagined. Almost everyone knew that demon beasts were strong and naturally suited for battle, but how many had truly fought against them?
In an instant, Tenglan's Azure Wave Vinewood Sword transformed as he unleashed his domain. With his careful guidance, the twenty or so warriors at the forefront managed to avoid significant casualties; however, some still lost their combat effectiveness in just one encounter and withdrew from the battlefield to heal.
On another front, without reinforcements behind him, the Night Emperor also refrained from rash actions. Having escaped multiple encirclements by the Great Qin Empire, he relied not only on his formidable strength but also on his caution. Without complete certainty, the Night Emperor would never initiate an attack—especially since Yan Dong had already exposed himself.
With Coco no longer present to scout for enemies ahead, it was better for the Night Emperor to wait for reinforcements before finding a way to deal with the enemy in front of him.
Although the Sky East Tournament appeared to be under Universe Hall's control on the surface, it was indeed individuals from the heavenly realm who set the true rules. While uncertain about who stood before him, there was no reason for someone capable of sweeping away all opponents to appear in this situation.
