450 – Moonlight Ceremony
The grading of gods went as follows: godhead 1 to 5 stood for feeble divine force, godhead 6 to 10 stood for weak divine force, godhead 11 to 15 stood for intermediate divine force, godhead 15 to 20 stood for strong divine force, godhead 20 to 25 stood for mighty divine force, godhood above 25 stood for supreme gods.
Supreme gods were terrifying existences that could contend against the Warlock Emperors of the Eight Warlock Dynasties. After the Time Lord became a Warlock Emperor, he once fought with a supreme god, and although he eventually killed the supreme god, but he himself was also badly wounded. Reportedly, it was due to this that the Time Lord had an untimely demise.
As for divine country grading, it was similar to the grading of the gods. A grade 1 divine country could give a god a small boost in strength, while a grade 5 divine country could give a god a great boost in strength.
The eyes of Yang Feng’s clone congealed, and he operated a secret method and began to use divine force crystals and countless precious materials to inscribe his comprehension of the laws on his divine country.
……
The Battle Demon Sect [1], the Immortal Huang Palace, Yang Feng’s residence.
With a secret manual that had the Battle Demon Secret Method recorded in hand, Yang Feng carefully studied the secret method, and then revealed a smile: “Now I should practice the powerful secret methods of the Battle Demon Sect!”
The Battle Demon Secret Method was one of the most powerful secret methods of the Battle Demon Sect, and it was divided into five stages – the Blue Battle Demon, the Silver Battle Demon, the Golden Battle Demon, the Black Battle Demon, and the White Battle Demon. The Blue Battle Demon could increase the practitioner’s fighting strength by 30%, the Silver Battle Demon stage could increase the practitioner’s fighting strength by 60%, the Golden Battle Demon stage could increase the practitioner’s fighting strength by 90%, the Black Battle Demon stage could increase the practitioner’s fighting strength by 200%, and the White Battle Demon stage could increase the practitioner’s fighting strength by 500%.
Besides, Battle Demon Possession could also weaken enemy attacks. Whether it was physical, magic, spirit, or soul attacks, all could be greatly weakened.
Previously, Yang Feng was able to easily defeat Zhong Sunan because he trod the strongest Warlock path. With the support of the semi-plane in his sea of knowledge, his strength and physique were far stronger than Zhong Sunan’s. However, if they possessed the same strength, then Yang Feng wouldn’t be able to defeat Zhong Sunan who used the Black Battle Demon Possession
Previously, because he was too busy, Yang Feng hasn’t practiced any secret methods of the Battle Demon Sect. Taking the Battle Demon Secret Method as an example, a Great Warlock who wasn’t an outrageous genius could spend 100 years to just reach the Blue Battle Demon Possession. Besides, at the time, he had his hands full with the Primal Chaos Imperishable Body, and fundamentally had no time to practice other secret methods.
Yang Feng scanned the Battle Demon Secret Method and easily understood the things recorded in the secret method. The life force inside him surged, and he easily condensed a Blue Battle Demon.
After the Blue Battle Demon appeared, it trembled and changed into to a Silver Battle Demon.
Within a quarter of an hour, Yang Feng has reached the Silver Battle Demon stage of the Battle Demon Secret Method that would take an ordinary genius 100 years to reach.
A few days later, the Silver Battle Demon trembled and turned into a Golden Battle Demon.
After he reached the Golden Battle Demon stage, although Yang Feng’s life force didn’t increase much, but his fighting strength has increased by 90%.
Ding! Dong! Ding! As Yang Feng was studying the Battle Demon Secret Method, loud bell tolling suddenly rang in the Battle Demon Sect.
“Has it finally started? Xue’er’s Moonlight Ceremony!” When he heard the bell tolls, Yang Feng moved his gaze away from the secret manual, the Golden Battle Demon collapsed, and he revealed a smile.
Shi Xue, a heaven-defying genius over whom two Great Elders have fought previously, has finally revealed her terrifying cultivation talent. In less than 30 years, she promoted to a Moonlight Warlock, shocking the whole sect. The Battle Demon Sect has sent out many invitations and invited countless experts of the Great Cloud Dynasty to attend the ceremony.
Yang Feng’s figure flickered, and he disappeared from the secret room.
In the seat of honor sat a 23- or 24-year-old man in a blue robe exuding a refined aura. This young man was Lu Wuchen, the Battle Demon Sect’s current Sect Master, and he possessed a Glorious Dawn Moonlight Warlock rank cultivation base.
On both sides of the main hall were seated the leaders of the various branches as well as true disciples of the Battle Demon Sect, and Yang Feng was impressively among them.
Zhang Hanshan, Zhuo Yifan, and Zhou Feng, these personal disciples of the three Great Elders were among them as well.
At the same time, on both sides of the main hall, apart from nine seats, the rest of the seats were occupied by the leaders or representatives from major forces of the Great Cloud Dynasty.
The nine seats that stood out were reserved for the representatives from the other nine great sects of the Great Cloud Dynasty.
The representatives from the major forces all looked at Yang Feng and the other true disciples from the Battle Demon Sect with curiosity and awe in their eyes.
Zhang Hanshan sighed gloomily, and uttered: “Moonlight Warlock! Junior Disciple Sister Shi is really amazing! She joined the sect less than 30 years ago, yet she already advanced to a Moonlight Warlock. She’s really an unequaled genius. Compared with her, it seems like I have lived these hundreds of years in vain.”
Zhuo Yifan said with a grin: “Hey! Junior Disciple Sister Zhang, don’t look down upon yourself. Junior Sister Disciple Shi’s talent is indeed above our’s. In fact, in the entire Great Cloud Dynasty, there might be only a few people that can be placed on par with Junior Disciple Sister Shi. You shouldn’t compare yourself to those freaks. Instead, you’d better think of more ways to help you promote to a Moonlight Warlock.”
Zhou Feng also advised: “That’s right. Junior Disciple Sister Shi’s talent is the greatest in the history of the sect. As such, it’s not strange for her to become a Moonlight Warlock. For her, even becoming a Glorious Dawn Warlock is just a matter of time. According to my teacher, there’s a 70% chance that she’ll advance to a Bright World Warlock in the future, and she might even promote to an Infinity Warlock. Junior Disciple Sister Zhang, don’t compare yourself with her. It won’t do you any good.”
A complicated look in her eyes, Zhang Hanshan suddenly asked Yang Feng: “Yang Feng, Shi Xue isn’t your biological sister, right?”
Yang Feng calmly replied: “Yes, she isn’t my biological sister.”
Zhang Hanshan spoke with a faint smile: “Then you have to be careful. When Senior Disciple Brother Mo Wuheng saw Junior Disciple Sister Shi’s appearance a year ago, he fell in love with her.”
Yang Feng’s brows wrinkled slightly, and he searched for this name in his head: “Mo Wuheng?”
It didn’t take long for Yang Feng to find this name in a corner of his mind.
Mo Wuheng was a personal disciple of the Great Elder Yue Wuxian, ranking above Zhang Hanshan. He possessed inferior level-7 soul aptitude, and has advanced to a Moonlight Warlock 30 years ago. With his prideful and overbearing character, he wasn’t too popular within the sect.
Suddenly, there was a commotion, and all gazes concentrated on the entrance to the reception hall.
A gorgeous and mesmerizing girl in a white dress, with a fairy-like temperament stepped into the hall.
Next to the fairy-like, gorgeous girl followed a handsome young man in black exuding a prideful and domineering aura.
“That’s Shi Xue! The genius with the greatest talent in the history of the Battle Demon Sect!!”
“Superior level-8 soul aptitude! This soul aptitude is nearly as good as that of the Warlock Emperors!”
“Really beautiful and strong! In less than 30 years, she has promoted to a Moonlight Warlock! She’s simply too outstanding!”
“…”
When their gazes focused on Shi Xue, the leaders and representatives of the major forces could’t help but comment spiritedly. Many youngsters who followed these representatives stared at Shi Xue with admiration in their eyes.
The population of the Great Cloud Dynasty was calculated in the billions. Among the countless geniuses, superior level-8 soul aptitude was as rare as a phoenix’s feathers.
As long as she didn’t die prematurely, and had access to abundant resources, Shi Xue could easily advance to a Glorious Dawn Warlock, and could even promote to a Bright World Warlock with a bit of hard work. She was basically destined to become a Great Elder of the Battle Demon Sect. As such, it was natural for her to be admired by countless youngsters.
“That’s Divine Blade Mo Wuheng!!”
“The Mo Wuheng who killed the white-faced devil Wei Cheng?”
“That’s right! The white-faced devil Wei Cheng was a Moonlight Warlock rank fierce devil who has massacred 30 cities of the Great Cloud City and murdered millions of people. He once seriously injured several Moonlight Warlock rank experts who chased after him. For Mo Wuheng to be able to kill this fierce devil, he’s indeed a genius of the Battle Demon Sect!”
“…”
Discussions sounded as the representatives from Great Cloud Dynasty’s major forces looked at Mo Wuheng with awe in their eyes.
Moonlight Warlock rank experts were existences comparable to gods, and they possessed countless means. It was normal for a true disciple of the Battle Demon Sect to defeat the white-faced devil Wei Cheng, but to kill the fierce devil was another matter. For Mo Wuheng to be able to kill Wei Cheng, his strength was clearly far above that of ordinary Moonlight Warlocks.
Ignoring the gazes of reverence focused on him, Mo Wuheng’s fervent gaze fell on Shi Xue, a look of adoration on his face.
Shi Xue didn’t pay Mo Wuheng any attention. As soon as she entered the hall, her eyes moved and fell on Yang Feng, then the corners of her mouth curled and she revealed a sweet smile that seemed to have brightened the reception hall.
Mo Wuheng was taken aback. Following Shi Xue’s gaze, he saw Yang Feng, and his face immediately sank and his eyes flashed with a frigid glint.
Within the main hall, the representatives of the major forces also followed Shi Xue’s gaze, and their eyes fell on Yang Feng.
