Chapter 15: Speaking At the Top

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Yi’s footsteps did not stop as he continued moving forward. His goal was very simple. It was the Seven-Colored Heaven Ascension Stage!

No one could stop him.

As for the threat of the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard? He really didn’t think much of it. Who was the one who was afraid? At most, he would just fight!

Wang Yi was not afraid of anyone in the same rank as him.

In the end, there would simply be one more spiritual ingredient in the system space!

Seeing that Wang Yi did not have any intention of stopping, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard immediately became alert. Its beastly eyes emitted an endless cold light, and all the hair on its body stood up. Its silver wings fully spread open, making them look like two blades.

However, it endured and did not leap into action immediately. It only retreated step by step as Wang Yi advanced.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the pond, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard also became increasingly agitated.

When they were a hundred meters away from the pond, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard finally stopped its retreat.

At this point, there was no way to retreat. It could not give up!

It had only broken through to the peak of Rank-9 due to luck. However, its basics and foundation were lacking, and there was no way to ascend to the heavens. Thus, there was no hope of entering the Connate Realm!

Its strength had stagnated at the peak of Rank-9 for more than ten years without any improvement.

The long period of time had already worn down the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard’s spirit. In fact, it no longer held any illusions about the Connate Realm.

In this boundless wilderness, occupying a corner of the land and being a free and unfettered great beast king was rather carefree.

It was also by chance that the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard discovered this place. When it saw the immature Seven-Colored Heaven Ascension Stage, the flames of hope in its heart instantly reignited.

After all, the temptation of eternal life was too hard to resist.

Even a ferocious beast could not resist such temptation!

From then on, it left its territory and came here.

During this period, it was injured countless times. Furthermore, there were even a few times when it was on the verge of death. Only after it defeated many competitors did it become the new great beast king of this region.

For it, this was a prerequisite for living a long life. If anyone dared to seize it, then it would sever the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard’s progress towards the Connate Realm. Then, its hatred would be as deep as the sea and would not stop until it died.

Its malevolent head slowly lowered, while its bloody mouth opened and closed. A human voice actually sounded, but its voice was a bit low. It was a bit hoarse as if he was an old man.

In Wang Yi’s ears, it was like a thunderclap that made his ears ring.

“Human expert, I am the Silver-Winged Great Beast King. The Heaven-Breaking Peak is my territory, and I have guarded it for many years. Please leave quickly and don’t make any mistakes. Otherwise, between you and me, it will be a battle of life and death!”

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment before stopping.

Of course, he would not be frightened, nor would he give up his goal just because of a few words from the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard.

However, he was a little surprised.

His previous self had no right to come into contact with such a level of ferocious beast, so he was not very clear about it.

He never thought that a beast could actually speak in human language. However, when he thought about it, he realized that the beast had to be strong enough. After all, not every beast could speak.

However, since they could communicate, Wang Yi no longer wanted to kill it. He just felt a little unhappy.

This fellow was really too tall. When he looked at this creature, he had to raise his head. Furthermore, its voice was very loud, which was very disconcerting for Wang Yi. In short, it made people very uncomfortable!

Wang Yi was straightforward too. He rebutted angrily, “Everyone has the freedom to say anything they want, I see.”

“If that’s the case, then I’m Jinlun Guoshi. This is not the Heaven-Breaking Peak, but the Secret Diamond Sect. As for this item, it’s the most precious treasure of the Secret Sect!”

“What does this have to do with you? Hurry up and retreat, or else you might lose your life!”

Wang Yi’s words were not pleasant to the ears. There was no trace of politeness.

Meanwhile, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard’s eyes were filled with confusion.

Jinlun Guoshi?

When did such an expert appear in the Langya Region?

A Rank-9 grandmaster would be a big shot no matter where he went. How could he be a nobody?

Furthermore, this person was absolutely a top-notch presence among the Rank-9 martial artists. His aura was even comparable to those top great grandmasters who had undergone a transformation.

Legend had it that after those peerless geniuses reached the peak of Rank-9, their strength and foundation would be enough to support them, allowing them to easily obtain the Connate Phala. But for some reason, they did not choose to advance.

Instead, they would continue to stay at Rank-9 and refine their bodies crazily. They would transform their bodies, cultivate their true qi and spirit, and reach the peak of their current realm. Then, they would break into the Connate Realm in their strongest state and pluck an even more perfect Connate Phala!

Of course, there were also some Rank-9 great grandmasters, who had no hope of reaching the Connate Realm in their entire lives, who chose this path. However, with their aptitude, it was extremely difficult. There were very few people who could make a breakthrough using this method.

The person before him clearly belonged to the former category. However, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard had never heard of him!

Could it be that the Secret Diamond Sect really existed?

Did any human city have such a name? Probably not!

However, there seemed to be a giant city in the extreme west called the Secret Sect City. Could this person be from there?

Upon thinking of this, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard couldn’t help but shudder.

No way!

If this person really came from that place, this matter would probably be difficult to handle.

Although the Secret Sect City was just an ordinary giant city, it was stronger than the average city. At the very least, Langya County City was far inferior compared to the Secret Sect City.

Furthermore, the Guardian of the Secret Sect City was a ruthless man. For the sake of an ordinary guard, he chased after a Connate-Realm Demon Venerable for three days and three nights. Then, the Guardian killed him in the endless swamp.

Thus, the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard really couldn’t afford to offend any people from that city!

The Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard saw that Wang Yi was standing there alone and had no intention to make a move. Instead, he just stared at it unhappily.

The Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard couldn’t help but secretly sigh in relief.

It was good that it did not attack!

The worst thing that could have happened was that it immediately made a move earlier. Compared to that, it was nothing if Wang Yi’s words were harsh.

Which martial artist below the Connate Realm would not be jealous of such a treasure?

Moreover, they were in the wilderness, and the flower was an ownerless object, to begin with. If one encountered a competitor, they would definitely fight first before speaking. There was no need to be so long-winded.

Even a Connate-Realm expert would fight for it with all their might.

Even if one could not use this kind of treasure, there was no harm in possessing it regardless.

If another Connate-Realm expert appeared among his forces or in his family, it was not a bad choice to allow them to use it. After all, this was equivalent to increasing their overall strength.

However, Wang Yi did not choose to attack immediately. Thus, in the eyes of the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard, this meant that there was still room for discussion.

It all depended on the price it had to pay!

For the sake of advancing, any price was worth it!

However, even if it was worth it, if it was possible for the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard to not pay any price, it was better than having to pay a price.

A hint of craftiness flashed through the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard’s enormous eyes, and it formed a plan in the blink of an eye.

Why not give it a try?

Roar!

A loud roar suddenly resounded throughout the entire forest!
