Chapter 336: The Sage Listener Clan - Part 1
The Supreme of the Celestial Palace wore a serene expression, unchanged in the slightest, as if nothing in the world could catch him off guard. He spoke calmly:
“To them, this is also part of the trial. Though it may be harsh, the real battlefield is full of the unexpected. If they are truly wise, they will be able to navigate such predicaments.”
Clearly, he had no intention of intervening.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Chu and the others had a flicker in their eyes, faintly sensing that this might be a trial deliberately set by the Supreme.
After all, the Supreme had already reached the realm of Immortal Emperor, possessing the power to peer into both past and future, and to discern all matters of the world. How could he not have foreseen this?
“If they can unite and cooperate, they could match that force. It depends on whether they can set aside their pride,” said Emperor Jiang placidly, not objecting to the Supreme’s stance.
“Wait, the number of Ancient Fiends gathering over there seems to be increasing. They’re using some innate secret art to draw others to them!”
“That’s one of the seven great bloodlines of the Ancient Fiends—the Sage Listener Clan,” said the Emperor of Chu, expression unwavering.
Within them were members of the royal bloodline of the Sage Listener Clan, so this occurrence seemed inevitable. From this perspective, it appeared everything was indeed orchestrated by the Supreme.
The other emperors glanced at the Supreme of the Celestial Palace, their eyes shifting subtly.
“If their numbers reach several thousand, I fear no one will be able to handle it. Even those peerless geniuses among them could be in serious danger,” Emperor Tianzhao said softly.
The Supreme of the Celestial Palace smiled. “It’s fine. If it truly reaches that point, and they cannot overcome it despite exhausting their strength, I will have my disciple take care of it.”
The Emperor of Chu and the others looked toward the young man seated beneath the Supreme’s manifested form. He was one of the Supreme’s personal disciples, at the peak of the Immortal King Realm, already renowned throughout the Southern Domain.
Yet, under the gaze of the emperors, that young man did not so much as lift an eyelid. He merely lowered his head, gazing into the void as if lost in his own thoughts.
“Look quickly—other places are seeing Ancient Fiends gathering too!”
“It’s normal for these fiends to cluster together for protection.”
At that moment, within the True Immortal Secret Realm, besides the mountain range from earlier, another gathering formed by a riverbank.
At the center of this Ancient Fiend horde was one with long, drooping ears—visibly distinct from the others.
It was a Sage Listener Fiend, a being said to be able to hear sounds across time. Of course, such feats required an extremely high cultivation within the Sage Listener Clan.
This projection of the secret realm’s abnormality was reflected across the immortal dynasties, stirring unease among the observers.
The Ancient Fiend gatherings had reached a massive scale, while the human cultivators were mostly acting alone. Even those in pairs or trios would stand no chance against such a fiend horde.
“Someone’s about to run into them!”
“That’s Princess Hong Yun of the Tianzhao Immortal Dynasty! She just slew over a dozen Ancient Fiends singlehandedly—she’s incredibly strong.”
“This is bad—she’s heading straight for them!”
Through the projection, countless people in the Tianzhao Immortal Dynasty became increasingly anxious.
Before this Southern Domain War, many were unfamiliar with Princess Hong Yun, but now that the conflict represented the honor and pride of the dynasty, all naturally wished for their own side to go far.
Within the secret realm, a red-clad woman streaked forward with blinding speed, rushing toward the Ancient Fiends gathered at the riverbank.
She inhaled the dense air tainted by evil intent, a smile appearing in her eyes. Such heavy malice could only mean a great number of fiends had gathered.
Though she had already obtained the Dao Flame and qualified for advancement, slaying more enemies would serve as further proof of her strength.
She believed that others with the same ability would be doing the same—gathering more Dao Flames.
In a flash, she arrived at the riverside.
But the moment she set foot there, the overwhelming malice surged toward her, flooding her nose and mouth and nearly suffocating her.
When she steadied her gaze, the stunningly beautiful face froze slightly.
Before her stood hundreds of Ancient Fiends, packed densely together, and among them were at least a dozen with concealed and terrifying auras.
“This is…”
She was momentarily stunned before seeing all the Ancient Fiends turn their heads to stare directly at her in unison.
Then, the space around her abruptly dimmed, as if some dark barrier had enveloped the area, sealing everything within.
“Princess Hong Yun!”
