Chapter 1419: A Mere Demonic Seed

Bu Wentian continued, "The demonic seed has taken root in your spiritual avatar. It'll feed on your negative emotions and slowly grow as a result, but your consciousness will hardly lose to a mere demonic seed. Its purpose is more like a mark that allows the bone lance to sense you more easily. Similarly, you'll be able to sense the bone lance. If both of you are close to each other, you'll notice a resonance."

Yang Ze patted Sun Xiaowu on the shoulder.

"It looks like the black bone lance fell in love with you at first sight."

Sun Xiaowu scowled. "Scram!"

"So there's no major problem, then?" Sun Mengmeng confirmed anxiously.

Bu Wentian nodded. "Essentially no problem. Don't get too agitated and try to maintain general optimism."

Sun Xiaowu exhaled. "You scared me just now, Elder!"

"Can it be removed directly?" Zhang Lie asked.

Bu Wentian shook his head. "There's no need to, since the impact is minimal."

Sun Xiaowu touched his forehead. "It does feel like I have a time bomb in my head..."

Bu Wentian replied, "Given your willpower, you could hardly lose to a little seed."

"That's true," Sun Xiaowu agreed.

"Furthermore," Bu Wentian added, "no one in the fourth realm has the requisite technology or means to be able to retrieve a small seed from your mindscape."

That was the primary reason he hadn't suggested direct removal.

Bu Wentian continued, "At the very least, it'll have little influence on you in the fourth realm. There's even a bright side: the bone lance has gone missing, so if you find it, you could become its master."

Sun Xiaowu smiled wryly. "That might be a double-edged sword more than anything else."

There were no other issues with Sun Xiaowu's body. Bu Wentian prepared a meal. After they had all eaten, Zhang Lie asked, "Fang Yi, Yang Ze, you two are the only ones left. When do you intend to keep going?"

"A moment later," Fang Yi replied. "It'll be good to do exercise after a meal."

"Then I'll go after Fang Yi," Yang Ze added.

Sun Xiaowu smirked. "These challengers aren't all that easy to deal with. Don't get overconfident."

After the meal, the hunters again entered their respective apparatuses and spectated Fang Yi's match.

Fang Yi's opponent was tall and sturdy, with long purple hair scattered about his shoulders. He was lofty and imposing, and unquestionably strong.

"Let me ask around to see who he is," Sun Xiaowu volunteered.

"He's from the Stargod race, of course," a spectator replied.

"Is he strong?"

"He's a member of an ancient race that was strong enough to be considered a 'god'. What do you think?"

Sun Xiaowu continued, "How does it compare to Heaven?"

"The era of the Stargods coincided with that of Heaven. They were both peak existences then, but the times have since changed. Heaven has fallen, and the Stargods are a shell of their former existence. That said, this challenger shows some signs of their former glory. His name is Xing Yu." [1]

Another spectator murmured, "However, his opponent seems to be someone nameless."

"Really? It looks like a member of that race that's growing famous, the stellar hunters!"

"Let's fight!" Xing Yu proclaimed. His voice was deep, magnetic, and penetrating. Boulders burst into pieces in the arena, forming a field of rubble around the Stargod challenger.

The spectators were shocked. This was a nameless challenger; did Xing Yu intend to take him seriously from the very beginning?

Others scoffed. "You don't know anything, do you? This is just what Xing Yu's like. He always gives it his all, no matter what the opponent's like."

Xing Yu struck, unwilling to waste even a second of time. His palm glowed with light. Five radiant beams fell from the heavens, each manifesting in the form of a mountain range, locking down the arena.

With a low shout, Fang Yi dashed forward with his spear in hand. He launched his spear, crackling with wind and lightning, with incredible force. It sent wind howling and lightning flashing through the sky.

With his spear, he invoked chaotic energy in the form of lightning and raging wind. The spear left a dozen afterimages in its wake. The five mountains exploded with a heavy thud.

Suddenly, thousands of beasts seemed to roar in unison. The spectators' souls quavered as a tremendous pressure, almost impossible to resist, descended on the stage.

Xing Yu struck. With a wave of his fist, heaven and earth filled with light. The figures of beasts covered the arena with an irrepressible aura.

"[Fist of Ten Thousand Beasts]!"

Even a few of the senior spectators were surprised. This was an ultimate technique of its school, supposedly an invincible fist technique!

Ten thousand beasts howled and roared, among them standard creatures like tigers, bears, and leopards, and those steeped in mythology like dragons and qilins.

The arena was filled with rampant beasts, roaring with divine auras as they pounced forward.

The spectators watched the scene unfold in shock. What surprised them was that Fang Yi stood still where he was, seemingly not fearing the beasts' assault at all.

"[Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow]!"

Fang Yi's spear took on the aspect of a dragon of the winds and a storm tiger as he charged forward.

Wind and storm roared around him, and his spear resonated with his genetic energy. The spear which the king of chaos had granted him demonstrated shocking strength, infusing chaotic energy into the mix.

The lightning tiger and wind dragon corkscrewed into an incredible blow that pierced through the sky and obliterated the ten thousand beasts.

Like a god of beasts, Xing Yu himself ran toward Fang Yi, lifting up a huge chunk of the arena to use as a weapon.

"[Shadow and Light]!"

Fang Yi's appearance blurred into a hundred clones. Spear thrusts and strikes came toward Xing Yu from every direction, turning the arena into rubble.

Xing Yu dove through the rubble and raised a fist, over which divine aura gathered. Heaven shook; the void trembled. The clash between spear and fist gave off tremendous light. Xing Yu's fist smashed into the spear in an explosion like that of a supernova. The void shook. His fist was as hard as steel.

"First blood!"

"Look, they've already drawn blood!"

The spectators gaped. Had the battle been decided so quickly?

The heavens shook as blood was sent flying into the air, bright red and dazzling with light.

"Divine blood! Look at how it catches the light!" The senior spectators all glanced at the sight attentively, their eyes shining.
