Annie explained calmly, "Furthermore, he's extremely warm in his treatment of others, and is exceptionally kind. In our Holy Heavens, many have received his grace and favor."
Yue Zhong came to a decision, "In that case, let's go meet up with him now."
Inside this strange world, other than the Undying Devil Spirit, and a few other undying existences, there were many foreign species. Among those foreign races, experts were aplenty, and there were even half-step Type 9 powerhouses among them.
If there was one, Yue Zhong had confidence in taking on. However, if it was 2 of them, he could only choose to flee. The chances of obtaining the treasury in this place were infinitely small. Only by gathering people would there be a chance to take on the foreign races.
Annie agreed, "Sure!"
After they agreed, Yue Zhong also put on his Stealth Armor and followed the instructions on the identity card, heading towards where Qian Chang Qing and the rest were.
In this mysterious realm, where there were countless treasures, resources, rare fruits, and other items, if an ordinary person were to take one, he or she could immediately become a 6-attribute perfect Evolver. Some of them were even able to propel one to the Type 4 realm instantly.
However, with Maruf as an example, Yue Zhong and Annie did not retrieve any items they saw along the way. Those fruits might be precious, but if they were to trigger the defenders or guardian spirits, they might not be able to live. The Undying Devil Spirit was too terrifying. Only a Type 9 powerhouse would be capable of meeting its attack.
There were also other huge Mutant Beast hordes within the realm, of which countless Type 8 and half-step Type 9 existences were among as well.
Each time there was a strong Mutant Beast horde, Yue Zhong and Annie would carefully route around them, before moving along quickly.
After passing through a number of mountains, they finally arrived at the location specified by Qian Chang Qing.
It was a vast and desolate valley, and at the edge of it, there was a huge palace constructed out of red glass crystals, emitting an archaic and saintly aura, looking powerful and grand.
3 forces were facing off in front of the palace, namely the Human Race, the Man-Eating Race, and the Devils Race. On the human side, there were 40-odd, while the Man-Eaters had 8. The Devils had even lesser, a total of 4.
However, among the Man-Eaters, there were 3 half-step Type 9 powerhouses, while the other 5 were freaks at the peak-Type 8 realm. The Devils had 4 half-step Type 9 powerhouses.
Even though the humans had the advantage in numbers, they merely had 2 half-step Type 9 powerhouses. 6 were at the peak-Type 8 realm, hence, their total combat prowess could be considered the weakest.
However, even though the humans' combined strength was the weakest, when using an array or formation, they were able to channel a terrifying strength. These formations were researched by humans and was one of the strongest killing trump cards against foreign races.
One of the half-step Type 9 Devils, who had a single horn on his forehead, his body ripped and exuding a metallic luster, looked towards the Man-Eaters, asking with a savage expression, "Ghost Tun, why don't we join forces and wipe out these cockroaches, before splitting the treasures of this temple?"
The Man-Eater expert Ghost Tun, had a chilly light in his gaze, "Fine! Your Devil Race can go first!"
Ghost Tun was not stupid, though the human race was weaker after they completed their array, even a half-step Type 9 powerhouse would have to pay a huge price to take them on.
Among these 3 factions, the Devils had the least numbers, but their strength was highest. Once the Man-Eaters and the humans both suffered from the clash, the Devil Race could definitely wipe them all out.
The Devils loved to battle and were cruel and violent by nature. Even among themselves, there were common cases of infighting and slaughter. They were the worst allies to have. In the past, the Man-Eaters had tried allying with them, but each time, they would end up fighting among themselves, driving a wedge further between both factions.
The single-horn Devil Race member laughed, and spoke, "Since you're unwilling, then forget it."
A blue-eyed human powerhouse with a huge sword on his back and his body clad in golden armor frowned, his gaze wary, "Qian Chang Qing, these fellows are not easy to deal with. If they join hands, we will definitely lose."
This was the First Holy Son of the Western Temple, Hai Yin.
This time, it was Hai Yin and Qian Chang Qing who had organized a huge party to come search for treasures in the Merlot Battlefield. However, they had never expected there to be so many foreign races gathered in front of the temple as well.
Qian Chang Qing gazed at the 2 enemy groups, laughing lightly, "Hai Yin, don't worry, if we had met either one of them, it would have been a tough battle with heavy losses on our side, maybe even death. However, since they are both here at the same time, it is advantageous to us. As long as we maintain our stance, they would not attack us casually. After all, whoever attacks us first would suffer, and once there're any weaknesses or injuries, the other party would pounce on them, tearing them apart."
Hai Yin nodded his head silently. Suddenly, he turned around towards the direction of Yue Zhong and Annie who had flown over, his eyes narrowing, "Someone's here."
Qian Chang Qing was slightly taken aback, as he looked towards the direction as well, his mouth curling upwards, "To think there are 2 other outstanding fellows, I did not even detect their arrival, their stealth abilities are truly top-notch."
At the same time, Yue Zhong felt shocked, "I was discovered. The human race truly has hidden experts. Heaven-defying talents are everywhere. I cannot get complacent and be careless."
Just as Hai Yin was looking towards Yue Zhong, a powerful energy was hidden over at the human's side, staring at Yue Zhong coldly, preparing to deal a direct hit towards Yue Zhong and Annie.
Space contorted and Annie revealed herself, retrieving her identity card as she announced, "Holy Daughter Annie from the Western Temple, and Divine Envoy Yue Zhong from the Central Temple, have arrived. "
Qian Chang Qing's eyes flashed with an intelligent look, as he analyzed, "It is indeed Annie, and the one beside her should be the new Divine Envoy of the Central Temple. Among our reports, there's nothing on this new Divine Envoy among those Divine Envoys-in-Waiting, and he's obviously someone who had reached that position after we came to the Merlot Battlefield. To reach this position at such a short time, he must be capable. Let them in."
The human camp quickly opened up.
"Hahaha!!! New humans? Don't go in, stay here and become my food!"
At that moment, there was a distortion of space behind Yue Zhong, as a half-step Type 9 Spatial Devil Ghost appeared, with a strange rune carved on his forehead, his four limbs engraved with spatial runes as well. His right hand was currently enveloped in devil qi, as he slashed towards Yue Zhong's heart with a savage laughter.
"Watch out!!"
"..."
Seeing that, the human powerhouses all had horrified expressions, shouting to warn him.
Hai Yin pulled out his large sword at the first moment with a crestfallen expression, "Damn it!! It's the Spatial Devil Ghost!! Seems like it's over for Yue Zhong!! Fuck!!"
There was a look of regret in Qian Chang Qing's eyes as well, "Damn it, this human talent is about to fall here!!"
The Spatial Ghost Devil was one of the strongest and terrifying races of the Devils Race, and while they did not possess much strength, they were naturally attuned to spatial laws and could move around space freely, making them one of the toughest enemies to deal with.
If the humans did not have a formation sealing their location, just that single Spatial Devil Ghost was enough to wipe most of them out.
"Just with you? I've already discovered you earlier! This was a trap meant to lure you out! Please become a stepping stone for my evolution!"
Yue Zhong laughed coldly, his Devil Domain bursting forth, enveloping the half-step Type 9 Spatial Devil Ghost within his domain.
Inside the Devil Domain, an endless amount of Devil qi was surging, and space was secure. Even the half-step Type 9 Spatial Devil Ghost had no way of tearing apart the space to flee.
After releasing the Devil Domain, Yue Zhong was certain of the strength of this enemy, and could not let him react. With a though, he whirled around to face the Devil Ghost, instantly utilizing the Cosmic Finger that he had comprehended from the True God expert.
At that moment, it seemed that the countless things and galaxies converged on Yue Zhong, forming the powerful Cosmic Finger as it slammed towards the half-step Type 9 Spatial Devil Ghost.
"Shit!!! How is this human so strong?! I can't take this move head-on!! Spatial Domain, appear!!"
Facing the True God-skill, there was a deep fear that sprouted in the Spatial Devil Ghost. He gritted his teeth to execute his Spatial Domain, and at that moment, a powerful region of spatial laws appeared, slamming into the Yue Zhong's Devil Domain, both sides clashing and wearing each other down.
