Chapter 205: Eastern Waste Venerable List
e been training outside for a month, and my swordsmanship has improved. This time, no matter what, I must pass the ninth floor. Otherwise, if I can’t even pass the ninth floor of the Zhenwu Pavilion,...Azure Cloud Nation, located at the core of the Eastern Wasteland and within the most prosperous domain, the Sky Realm.
The entire Celestial Domain is under the control of the Azure Nation.
In the Azure Cloud Realm, there are eighteen provinces. Besides the supreme ruler, the Azure Cloud King, the highest authority belongs to the Lords of the Eighteen Provinces.
One of the eighteen prefectures, Baishan Prefecture, boasts bustling streets teeming with people.
"This Cangyun Nation occupies the most crucial territory in the Dong荒 region. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is clearly more abundant than in the Qingxuan Domain. Under such an environment, more powerful individuals are born."
Su Xin was walking down the street. He saw many martial artists walking on the street, and they all had a certain level of skill.
In terms of quality, they are indeed significantly higher than those imperial dynasties in the Qingxuan Domain.
"Aqi, is it delicious" Su Xin looked at Aqi beside him who was happily munching on a large handful of snacks.
"The taste is alright," A-Qi nodded lightly.
Su Xinyi smiled.
A-Qi wasn't just holding these things in her hands. After a whole morning of wandering around, A-Qi had bought a bunch of strange and unusual snacks which she stored inside her spatial ring.
"We've pretty much seen everything, let's head back to the meeting point," Su Xin said.
"Mmm, A Qi nodded."
The two immediately quickened their pace toward the assembly point for the Azure Cloud Realm.
The Cangyun Realm opened, and countless powerful figures from various sects throughout the Eastern Desolate rushed to it. For this purpose, the Cangyun Kingdom set up six gathering points.
Within Baishan Prefecture, there is a gathering point.
When Su Xin and his companion arrived at the assembly point, they were met with a vast expanse of open land. Thousands upon thousands of powerful figures thronged the area.
"So many strong fighters!" Su Xin was secretly astonished.
If it were just ordinary warriors, thousands gathering together, Su Xin wouldn't think much of it.
The thousands of people gathered here now... Those who dare to come to the Cangyun Realm to compete for the Bai Xin Divine Fruit are undoubtedly all extraordinary in their abilities. They gather in groups of three or two, some with a dark aura like a poisonous scorpion, some with a frenzied energy like a raging volcano, and others as defiant as an iceberg.
In short, they all look pretty intimidating.
"All these people present, I'm afraid they are all the Six-Step Venerables who have created peerless arts. Even among the Six-Step Venerables, they are probably the strongest." Su Xin secretly thought.
In the Azure Cloud Realm, the top experts from the Eastern Desolation will gather and compete for a prize.
Even the Venerable Six Steps, if they entered such a place, would probably only serve as cannon fodder.
Like Jiusheng Mountain, the ten-plus people sent out this time were all top-tier Sixth Step Venerables.
"This is just one gathering point, there are so many strong individuals. If all six gathering points were combined…" Su Xin sighed wistfully.
And among these thousands of strong individuals, some are even top figures on the Eastern Waste Venerable List.
At this time...
"Thousand Mountain Demon Venerable!"
A majestic voice suddenly echoed throughout the assembly point, and everyone immediately turned to look at the source.
Only a burly middle-aged man with a heavy hammer on his back was seen standing before the 'Thousand Mountains Demon Lord'.
"Haha, both of us wield the Great Hammer as our weapon. It's rare to meet someone like this. Since the Azure Cloud Realm hasn't opened yet, why don't we have a direct confrontation now" The burly man grinned, exuding a chilling aura.
"Challenge"
"Challenge the Thousand Mountains Demon Lord"
"The Thousand Mountains Demon Lord, that is a powerful being on the Eastern Desolate Venerable List!"
Many people around looked interested.
"Challenge"
Su Xin also smiled.
When he first went to the Lei Xin Domain to compete for the Nine-Turn Sacred Lotus seeds, before the competition, he had also seen people challenging the strong ones on the Eastern Desolate Venerable List. Now that the Cangyun Realm has opened, at least half of the strong ones on the Eastern Desolate Venerable List will gather here, and with more strong people, the challenges naturally become more frequent.
Soon, the fierce middle-aged man went with Qian Shan Demon Venerable to a dedicated space prepared for them, used for temporary combat.
The battle space is vast and boundless. Even if two people fight, they don't have to worry about affecting others.
These two fighters both wield heavy hammers as their weapons and focus on overwhelming their opponents with brute force. Their battles are pure clashes of strength, a contest to see who is stronger and more ferocious.
This battle was fought with extraordinary ferocity.
But in the end, it was still Qian Shan Mo Zun, who had already been on the Eastern Desolation Venerable List, who outshone all others.
The strong individuals on the Eastern Waste Venerable List were indeed not easy to challenge. Su Xin sighed inwardly, but suddenly his expression moved.
"What's wrong" Ah Qi looked over.
"It's nothing, just ran into an acquaintance. Su Xin smiled and walked over to the 'acquaintance'."
"The Blood-Robed Marquis!"
Su Xin greeted them.
In a corner of the gathering point, a young man in blood-stained clothes sat there casually. He didn't deliberately emanate any aura, but those around him had already recognized him, each keeping a certain distance from him.
Hearing someone call his name, the young man in blood-red clothes slowly turned his head.
"Su Xin" A hint of a smile appeared on the Blood-Clad Marquis's face.
The last time the two met in the Leixinyu domain, although Su Xin ultimately won, both sides acknowledged each other's strength.
After the battle, Blood-Robed Marquis still wanted to invite Su Xin for a drink and discuss their experiences, but Su Xin ran into something unexpected at the last minute.
"Who is this person beside you" the Blood-clothed Marquis asked.
She was Aqi, a woman Su Xin hadn't introduced much about.
"Oh" The Blood-Robe Marquis looked at the two with interest, knowing in his heart what was going on.
"Su Xin, last time you left too quickly, I didn't even get a chance to have a proper drink with you. Today's a rare opportunity, let's find somewhere to chat" Blood Robe Marquis said.
"Unable to obtain it, Su Xin smiled."
Immediately, the three of them found a tavern near this meeting point and sat down. They drank and chatted while they were at it.
"Xueyi Hou, you're ranked 67th on the Dong荒 Venerable List. With so many people challenging here, why isn't anyone challenging you" Su Xin asked in puzzlement.
"What's so strange about that Most of those who challenged were either close to the Eastern Desolate Venerable List or had strength at the end of the Eastern Desolate Venerable List. Even if they challenged someone like 'Thousand Mountains Demon Lord,' a powerful figure ranked after one hundred, it would be quite difficult for them. Who would be foolish enough to challenge me"
Of course, the Eastern Wasteland is not without some hidden figures of immense power who were previously unknown. They may be incredibly skilled, but since they have remained hidden for so long, it means they do not care about fame and will naturally not easily challenge others. Instead, they intend to wait until the Cangyun Realm before making their move and showcasing their strength in a bid for the Bai Xin Divine Fruit and Blood-cloaked Marquis's Dao.
Su Xin nodded in understanding.
Like him, he now possesses the fighting strength of someone in the top twenty of the Eastern Desolation Venerable List. However, unless he encounters an opponent who is extremely eager to fight, he has no intention of exposing his true power and engaging in combat right now.
The gathering point, which had been bustling with activity just moments ago, suddenly fell silent.
All eyes turned towards a single direction, where a man in black slowly strode forward.
He, with an icy countenance, seemed devoid of any emotion. He did not deliberately exude any aura, yet the numerous powerful individuals gathered at this convergence point all looked at him with a hint of reverence.
It's him!!
The Bloodcloaked Marquis also gazed intently, watching the man in black walk into the assembly point.
"He is...the Blood Rain Demon Lord!"
Su Xin's eyes narrowed as well, then he took out a list from his Universe Ring.
This list is exactly the Eastern Desolation Venerable List. Inside, it records names in order of their ranking.
"Eastern Desolation Venerable List, First Place: Axe Sovereign!"
Second place: Lord Overlord of the Blade!
The third: Bloodheart King!
"Fourth place: You Zun!"
"Fifth: The Venerable Demon Hand!"
"Sixth: The Leader of the Seven Swords!"
The seventh: Lei Yi Mo Zun!
The Eighth: Venerable Ancient Ape!
The ninth one: Xueying Divine Monarch!
"Tenth place: Blood Rain Demon Lord!"
The eleventh: Jiumei Daojun!
……
Interestingly, the Eastern Desolation Venerable List only updates once every three years unless there is a special event, such as the opening of the Cangyun Realm, when a large number of powerful beings clash and the rankings undergo drastic changes.
Just like before, Su Xin directly defeated Xue Yi Hou within the Lei Xin domain, and A Qi caused such a commotion in the first realm of the Qing Xuan domain. Logically, both of them should be on this list. A Qi could even rank in the top ten. However, since these events just happened recently, their names are not yet on this list.
"The top ten on the Eastern Desolate Venerable List are all monsters, almost possessing the combat power of a Saint King. And this Blood Rain Demon Lord, although he is ranked tenth, his strength is also extraordinary," Su Xin secretly thought.
Before he set off from Jiusheng Mountain, he not only obtained a complete list of venerables but also had a thorough understanding of some powerful figures on the list, including their strength.
For example, this Blood Rain Demon Lord, according to the intelligence, is a top-tier powerhouse who is extremely terrifying in every aspect and can be said to have no weaknesses at all.
And he was still a first-rank bloodline awakener, possessing innate divine abilities.
“A cultivator who had reached the pinnacle of Nirvana Venerable, a first-rank bloodline awakened, his bloodline power was equally formidable. In terms of strength and might, he should be far superior to ordinary Six-Step Venerables, and he was not weak in other aspects either, yet he could only rank within the top ten. Su Xin secretly sighed.”
He questioned himself, if he were to face the Blood Rain Demon Lord now, he would most likely be at a disadvantage. If he played all his cards, there might still be a chance of winning, but the Blood Rain Demon Lord was only ranked in the top ten.
Just then, another person appeared at the assembly point.
The moment he appeared, he attracted the attention of many people in the audience.
"Dao Yu Venerable!"
“He is Dao Yu Venerable, ranked 14th on the Dong Huang Venerable List!!”
Many people exclaimed in surprise.
Although ranked fourteenth on the Venerable List, which is a few places behind the Blood Rain Demon Lord at tenth, the difference isn't significant.
Dressed in a splendid golden robe, Dao Yu, the venerated master, had a slightly rebellious look on his face. His eyes were like blades as he surveyed the crowd. But suddenly, he felt something stirring within him and directly looked towards where Su Xin and his companions were standing.
Whoosh!
Dao Yu Venerable appeared directly before Su Xin and his two companions. His icy gaze, like a blade, was filled with boundless killing intent, ultimately settling on Su Xin.
"You are stained with the blood of my Blood Slaughter Sect disciples!!"
"You, you bastard!!"
……ngth might not be inferior to Xia Mang!"Sītu Yù, I heard that during the first stage of the hunt, this烏 (wu) has been looking for your trail all the time. You have to be careful," someone warned besid...
