Chapter 131: I Am Invincible-The Way of Eating and Sleeping(Demon Ink of the Southern Realm)

Night Nine Demon watched Ning Ling and the others in the Inner Sect struggle desperately to hold their ground, and a look of finally finding a worthy opponent appeared on his face.

Then, under everyone’s astonished gaze, he charged straight into the battle among the Inner Sect disciples.

Those who knew nothing of the circumstances were left utterly bewildered. They had no idea why Night Nine Demon was allowed to participate, though in their hearts they could faintly guess the reason.

The power Night Nine Demon had unleashed moments ago was enough to overturn their understanding. It was simply too strong—far beyond what an Outer Sect disciple should have possessed.

“Senior Brother Ning Ling, you all stand down!”

Night Nine Demon roared. Confusion appeared on Ning Ling and the others’ faces, but they withdrew immediately.

The attacks from the Western District had grown even more ferocious. If they refused to retreat, they would inevitably suffer severe injuries.

The Western District held an overwhelming advantage in numbers, not to mention strength.

“Netherworld Desolation Palm!”

Night Nine Demon thrust out a palm. Its force surged endlessly, like waves breaking apart, and in an instant it blocked the incoming assault.

Confusion flashed across the faces of the Western District disciples. But when they saw that the newcomer was Night Nine Demon, they quickly broke into smiles.

Night Nine Demon had humiliated them time and again. That grudge had to be repaid. Thus, although they were startled to see him, delight soon replaced their surprise.

While Ning Ling and the others were still wondering how Night Nine Demon had been allowed to take part, the forces of both sides collided.

Terrifying waves of energy spread in every direction. Night Nine Demon allowed the force to batter him, yet his expression remained utterly calm.

“As for the Western District, everyone except him only needs to be crippled.”

Night Nine Demon pointed toward one of them—the very Western District disciple who had repeatedly spoken up on their behalf earlier.

“How dare you act so arrogantly!”

The Western District disciples roared in fury.

“Falling Stars!”

Night Nine Demon wasted no words and unleashed his terrifying power. A sky full of stars appeared once more.

Using vital energy as a medium, he condensed it into an overwhelming force. In the blink of an eye, immense stars formed and shot forth one after another.

“Shatter!”

The Western District disciples roared and struggled, but before Night Nine Demon’s absolute power, all resistance was futile. After all, this was his stage.

The spectators below were beyond astonishment.

Their faces were filled with the terror of having seen a ghost in broad daylight, especially the Inner Sect disciples from the other two districts. Those who had joined later had faces that had turned livid.

With a single man, Night Nine Demon had swept aside the disciples of both the Outer and Inner Sects from the Southern District. The people of the Western District were utterly incapable of defending themselves.

Boom!

One star after another struck like bombs. The moment they made contact, they condensed into terrifying power and exploded.

What troubled Night Nine Demon most was that these people could not withstand even this. He had not yet used his full strength, and they had already fallen.

“Sigh… Being invincible is truly so lonely.”

Night Nine Demon wore an anguished expression, revealing the profound loneliness of a supreme expert.

…

Everyone fell collectively silent.

If he did not show off every single day, would he die?

They were all cultivating, so why did he have to stand out so much?

Everyone felt miserable. Night Nine Demon was simply too powerful—so powerful that they could hardly bear it.

It was one thing for him to sweep through the Outer Sect alone, but now he had even swept through the Inner Sect. How could his cultivation be so outrageously heaven-defying?

“Whitebrow, this boy isn’t secretly a Core Disciple, is he?”

“Exactly. Whitebrow, you people are far too sinister.”

“Hmph! My Southern District has no need for such tricks!”

Whitebrow snorted coldly in the face of everyone’s suspicion and retorted without hesitation.

“If not, how do you explain this?”

“Examine his cultivation for yourselves. He is clearly at the Celestial-Human Realm. How could he be a Core Disciple? Are the Core Disciples in your sect all at the Celestial-Human Realm?”

Whitebrow struck back even more forcefully. This was a moment to bring honor to his ancestors. The more unyielding he acted, the less the others could say.

Thus, Whitebrow straightened his back with pride.

“Boy, come down. The Southern District wins this battle!”

Seeing that the argument was showing no sign of ending, Thousand Strength cut off the discussion at its source and beckoned Night Nine Demon over.

Night Nine Demon smiled, then walked across the empty air and arrived before Thousand Strength. After all, this man was the true authority here.

“Night Nine Demon pays his respects to the Lord of a Thousand Domains.”

He suddenly offered an extremely stiff greeting.

Thousand Strength, Whitebrow, and the others were momentarily stunned. They could not understand what had happened. Night Nine Demon did not seem like the sort of person who would behave this way.

Although they had no idea what he was plotting, they could not ignore his courtesy. They had just been thoroughly embarrassed by him, after all.

“Night Nine Demon, come here. I will examine your cultivation. If it exceeds the Celestial-Human Realm, it will be regarded as cheating, and the Southern District will be disqualified.”

Night Nine Demon obediently walked over and allowed Thousand Strength to examine him. Yet the latter’s expression changed again and again.

He had actually discovered that Night Nine Demon’s cultivation was only at the Awakening Realm. But when he tried to sense it again, Night Nine Demon’s strength seemed to have changed.

It was exceedingly strange.

“You…”

“Lord of a Thousand Domains, is there a problem?”

Before Thousand Strength could ask anything, Night Nine Demon seized the initiative and questioned him instead.

Thousand Strength was left in an awkward position. He had not managed to detect anything at all, yet he could not admit that he did not know.

If he did, what would become of the dignity of a domain lord? But if he said nothing, it seemed he would lose his dignity all the same.

He was caught in an impossible dilemma.

“Heh… Night Nine Demon did not cheat. His cultivation truly does not exceed the Celestial-Human Realm. The Southern District’s victory is valid.”

“Furthermore, it appears that the people of the Western District are no longer capable of continuing in the coming matches. They shall therefore be ranked last.”

“What?”

“This…”

The Western District disciples who had just been gravely injured by Night Nine Demon immediately protested.

“Falling Stars!”

Impatient, Night Nine Demon sent another attack their way. In an instant, he knocked every last one of them flat, and not a single person dared to speak again.

Because… they had all fainted.

“There. Now there really aren’t any Western District people left.”

Night Nine Demon clapped his hands and spoke.

The faces of everyone present twitched. The way they looked at him had changed, and traces of fear now lingered in their eyes.

Soon, the second match began.

Although the battle was fierce, Night Nine Demon’s interruption had made the contest between the two districts feel stiff and lifeless, leaving the spectators without the slightest interest.

The result, however, was unexpected. The Northern District had actually defeated the Eastern District, causing those who had joined the Eastern District to sigh inwardly that opportunity waited for no one.

Before long, it was time for the battle between the Northern and Southern Districts.

“The Championship Battle between the Southern District and the Northern District begins now!”

“Go back and cultivate on your own. I’ll handle this. Since I said we would take first place, then first place must be won without the slightest impurity.”

Night Nine Demon stopped Ning Ling and the others without the slightest hesitation. If they went up, they would only be offering themselves up for a beating. It was better for them not to participate.

Ning Ling and the others could only wear bitter expressions.

Was cultivation truly so unreliable these days that they were not even qualified to speak?

“Sigh… There isn’t even a single stronger opponent.”

Night Nine Demon stepped onto the arena alone and repeated the same words.

This time, however, no one dared to object.

Because… this fellow was genuinely powerful.
