Among the seven of them, apart from Aiden, the rest of them were demons with easygoing attitudes – there was no need for any messy formal ceremonies.
After the suggestion, everyone used the ground as a replacement for incense and kowtowed towards the skies – that action alone sealed the oath of their swear.
Thereafter, everyone became closer and Ki Ki's mood improved as well.
The spirit tiger followed behind Ki Ki everyday, pandering with his butt twerking.
There was naturally much joy in their journey with the presence of the spirit tiger.
This day, they arrived at a vast plain.
Aiden's expression changed as he paused in his tracks and listened.
Among the seven of them, his five senses were the strongest – a whole different level above the other six.
He was always the first to notice if something was wrong.
"First, what's wrong?"
The Golden Lion asked.
Aiden said deeply, "There's quite a bit of commotion in the East, so there should be quite a lot of people there. It's not just martial artists, there's also the faint roars of demon beasts!"
Suddenly, the ground quaked gently.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
A series of movements sounded faintly from the East, as though someone was beating the heavenly drums.
The next moment, a bedazzling light surged into the air and illuminated the world!
A treasure was born!
The reason why the major sects and factions of the world were willing to give it their all to send martial artists to the ancient battlefield was because there were many cave abodes here that were left behind by ancestors!
There were also a few inheritance grounds, many ancient secret grounds, and countless tombs with endless mysterious treasures in them!
If anyone could obtain some of the secret skills or mystic weapons, they had a chance of turning extremely powerful overnight!
Even if they did not need it themselves, they could present it to their sects in exchange for fabulous rewards.
Some factions and sects could even rise because of a single opportunity, establishing their foundation and transforming into a powerful major faction from a nameless small sect!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn fact, there was even a chance that they could instantly be ranked among one of the many Upper Sects!
Aiden narrowed his gaze and whispered, "Let's go and check things out!"
With that, he sped over in a flash.
Monkey and the others followed closely behind.
Not long after, Aiden gradually slowed down and gazed into the distance.
Not far ahead, there was a towering mountain peak that extended into the clouds.
Around the mountain peak were many martial artists.
There were also countless roars of demon beasts above and below the mountain peak.
A massive conflict had broken out between martial artists and demons!
Spirit energy surged in midair, releasing beams of light with scorching heat waves.
Countless ancient trees were cut with sand flying everywhere.
Nobody knew how long the battle had been ongoing but the sight was tragic with the mountain peak drenched in blood!
Aiden could clearly see that there was something strange about the mountain peak. It was split from the middle, as though a pair of invisible hands had ripped it apart!
However, in the middle of the mountain peak, instead of mountains and rocks, there was a gigantic palace that did not seem like it was man-made – it was like a work of god!
The palace was riddled with holes but within, there were ancient weapons laid out one after another.
There were also many elixirs and a few ancient books that were filled with dust!
Aiden whispered, "This is the birth of an ancestor cave abode and two major factions are fighting within for the treasures!"
"The fight is too chaotic, there's no way to see what's within,"
Monkey frowned. "If we barge in right now, we'll definitely be targeted."
Little fox shifted her gaze and glanced around. "There must be quite a number of martial artists and ferocious beasts waiting by the sidelines for an opportunity to strike!"
"Let's wait a while more to see if there's any treasures worthy for us making a move for. We shouldn't get involved in this mess."
Aiden had a calm expression.
The fight did not seem simple given how secretive it was located in the middle of a mountain peak.
However, Aiden was not in a rush.
It won't be too late even if he struck when a great treasure truly appeared!
Boom!
A mortal paragon released a Martial Master phenomenon and clashed against a few ferocious beasts. The resulting force spread outwards and even the entire palace trembled.
Many weapons were caught up in the energy fluctuation and scattered in midair.
The eyes of the mortal paragon shone as he grabbed one of the swords and injected spirit energy into it. The sword shone brightly with five spirit patterns!
A perfect artifact weapon!
"Slash!"
The mortal paragon shouted and waved the sword.
A bedazzling sword light streaked through the air with rainbow colors, slicing the ferocious beasts on the other end into two, creating a bloody mist.
"Haha, good sword!"
The mortal paragon was delighted.
His strength had increased significantly after gaining the sword and it meant that he would stand a greater chance at obtaining a spot on the Phenomenon Ranking!
Many other martial artists moved as well to snatch the weapons that were scattered in midair.
Aiden could see clearly that among the weapons, the weakest were at top grade and there were more than 10 perfect-grade ones!
A single palace contained so many treasures!
For most martial artists, gaining a top grade meant an increase in strength.
Gaining a perfect artifact weapon meant their strength would increase ten-fold!
Be it top-grade or perfect artifact weapons, none of them attracted Aiden any longer.
The greatest goal of his trip this time round was to see if he could get any high-leveled divine weapons!
It was not only for himself but also monkey and the others.
Although monkey and the others were demons, after they broke through their Inner Cores and formed their Essence Spirits, they would be able to refine divine weapons for themselves as well.
It was best if they could get their hands on a suitable divine weapon before breaking through to the Martial Grandmaster realm.
Boom!
It was yet another deafening sound.
Another wall in the palace toppled and many weapons that were hung on it bounced.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThose weapons were clearly different from artifact weapons. Even in the void where spirit energy was fluctuating in a berserk manner, they had no reaction at all and their patterns were even more intricate and seemingly divine!
Divine weapons!
There were divine weapons in the palace!
"Look, that flying sword has two divine patterns!"
"It's a middle-grade divine weapon!"
For Martial Masters and the many spirit demons, a single divine weapon was enough to fuel their greed.
It meant that they would get to possess a middle-grade divine weapon the moment they advanced to Martial Grandmaster realm!
"Ah! Three divine patterns! It's a top grade divine weapon!"
"Attack!"
A series of exclamations came from the crowd.
A scarlet spear hovered in midair with three divine patterns on it!
Boom!
A gigantic demon beast soared into the air. It resembled a tiger but it had a pair of wings behind its back, emitting an endless ferocity with a menacing gaze!
"One of the four great ancient ferocious beasts!"
action
The Golden Lion said slowly with a grim expression.
Even among pure-blooded ferocious beasts, they had varying strength levels.
For example, the legendary four great ancient ferocious beasts were much stronger than other ferocious beasts.
"Pfft!"
The moment the strange, primordial beast appeared, it opened its mouth and devoured a martial artist who was supporting a Martial Master phenomenon. Within a few chomps, the latter was crushed and swallowed as blood oozed from the side of the primordial beast's mouth.
It was way too violent – even a Martial Master phenomenon could not withstand it!
"Raging City Blaze!"
A roar sounded from the ground.
A mortal paragon wearing blazing scarlet robes charged into the battlefield with a gigantic ancient city behind him.
The ancient city blazed with flames that surged into the air and incinerated all living beings.
The moment the ancient city descended, it crushed another pure-blooded ferocious beast into sludge before burning it into ashes.
That was one of the ten upper sects of the North Region, a paragon of Blazing Phoenix Valley!
A top grade divine weapon had shown itself.
More paragons and ferocious beasts were entering the battlefield!
