Martial Ascent to Divinity

Chapter 303 Stone-man


Zhou Leng said, "Is this Magic Cottage safe?"

"Safe."

"Can you help me appraise this axe?" Zhou Leng took out the Barbarian Star Axe.

The Cyan Flame's eyelid twitched and slowly said, "Now I know who killed the Barbarian Star Axe."

"I picked it up on the road, if you don't believe me, ask the Molten Hammer, he saw it with his own eyes."

The Cyan Flame gave Zhou Leng a frustrated look and said, "I believe you. This axe is very unusual, but non-Beastmen can't harness its power. The market price is two billion, but the sale price is uncertain because only Beastmen would buy it, and Beastmen are always short on cash, so I'll offer you one and a half billion."

"Alright."

"You can now exchange for a total of 4.8 billion worth of Medicinal Fruits."

"Do you have any Innate Promotion Medicine?" Zhou Leng asked.

"We have spiritual will type, but probably not flesh type. I suggest you trade with Giants, Giant Dragons, Beastmen, Dwarves, and Demons."

Zhou Leng said, "Then exchange goods worth 3 billion for Demon Gold, and I'll have someone help me purchase or exchange it. Spend the remaining 1.8 billion on Medicinal Fruits from you."

"Okay."

After purchasing 1.8 billion in Medicinal Fruits, they exchanged information.

"Your human Martial Artists have been captured by the Deep Dark Fury too? We have several Demon Spirit Masters in the same situation, and now we're hesitating whether to rescue them or not," Cyan Flame said helplessly.

"This is indeed troublesome."

"Yes. If we rescue them, we might all become involved. If we don't, our morale will scatter. Many are arguing that even if we don't rescue them, we should at least form a Humanoid Alliance to negotiate. We can't be intimidated by Demons."

"Can't we capture hostages too?"

"Deep Dark Fury said they don't exchange prisoners, what do other Demons' lives have to do with him?"

"That's indeed like his style," Zhou Leng said.

"You seem very familiar with him. Anyway, we'll discuss it further. Do you have any Black Gold Silkworm Fruit left?"

"None."

"That's a pity, there's no trace of the Dragon Scale Vermilion Fruit either. If nothing unexpected happens, it can only go to the first-place winner. Now it depends on whether the Deep Dark Fury will choose the Dragon Scale Vermilion Fruit or the Golden Crystal."

"You know about the Golden Crystal too?"

"We've all heard rumors, but there's no reliable source. It's not surprising that the Great Battlefield would nurture a Golden Crystal."

"Both the Golden Crystal and Dragon Scale Vermilion Fruit are too far away, please keep an eye out for Innate Promotion Medicine for me," Zhou Leng said.

The Cyan Flame hesitated for a moment and said, "If you're not in a hurry, when I return to the Demon Spirit World, you can go to the 'Desert Demon City' to look for Fierce Beasts; their Promotion Medicine Fruits are always strong."

"Oh? Does your Demon City also have a passage to the Fierce Beast World?" Zhou Leng became interested.

"Yes, there are two. However, it's quite dangerous, and the Fierce Beast Tribe is currently engaged in a great battle; even the Eight-toothed Mammoths are involved."

"Eight-toothed Mammoth..."

"Fierce Beasts are generally quite gentle, but they can be provoked easily, quite contradictory."

"The Fierce Beast World is indeed dangerous, don't take risks," Zhou Leng thought to himself about the Fierce Beasts' frequent combat mistaken for anger.

After their conversation, Zhou Leng left.

He walked away and put on the performer's mask, disguising himself as Guan Canglong, heading straight for the Demon gathering place below the highest mountain.

In the distant Fierce Beast World.

A blood mist rose to the sky.

The Beast Tomb appeared.

A group of Eight-toothed Mammoths charged forward, a muscular Huang riding on an Innate Eight-toothed Mammoth's back, looking ahead.

Like a Fierce Beast Knight.

Hundred Peaks Valley.

Zhou Leng rushed near the highest mountain, and a team of Beastmen aggressively came over to question him, seeing he was human.

"Who gives you the courage to question a High Priest? The Ice Snow Divine Sect cannot be disrespected!"

Zhou Leng shouted, slaughtered the Beastmen, and took their spoils.

When he stood up, a giant grey steel shadow swept across from the distant sky.

Zhou Leng looked over, the Three-headed Steel Dragon, Wind of Grey Steel, was looking back at him.

They locked eyes.

Wind of Grey Steel was devouring a Black Dragon with its three heads.

At Zhou Leng's feet, Beastmen corpses littered the ground.

They both averted their gaze.

Wind of Grey Steel snorted coldly, considering this human not weak, but an individual wasn't worth its concern, so it continued devouring the Black Dragon.

Zhou Leng estimated Wind of Grey Steel's power.

Its innate power was slightly superior to the Barbarian Star Axe, but with three heads, the ability to fly, and mastery of spells, it was far more troublesome than the Barbarian Star Axe.

Zhou Leng wandered around the highest mountain, killing several Demon teams.

Later, more and more Demons recognized Guan Canglong, making it difficult for Zhou Leng to make a move, so he headed to the Demon Alliance camp to gather information.

Upon entering the camp, he saw Wind of Grey Steel reprimanding other Giant Dragons in the Giant Dragon camp.

"How many times have I told you, the Giant Dragon Race must be united when outside, united! You don't listen and keep fighting each other! It's one thing to have internal conflicts, but how can you fight outside? No matter what color your scales are, we're all Giant Dragons..."

Wind of Grey Steel went on and on, then looked over and spotted the familiar human, narrowing its eyes.

Zhou Leng feigned indifference, looking past Wind of Grey Steel as he walked towards the Ice Snow Divine Sect's direction.

Wind of Grey Steel suddenly realized and thought to itself, I can kill the Black Dragon, since he's part of the Ice Snow Divine Sect, why would he kill Beastmen? Could it be like me... or is he really despicable? Anyway, what does it matter to me?

Wind of Grey Steel pointed at Zhou Leng's back and asked the other Giant Dragons, "Do you recognize that human?"

The Giant Dragons looked over.

"It's Guan Canglong."

"I heard from Lord Deep Dark Fury that he is also a dragon, but who knows if it's true or not."

Wind of Grey Steel nodded lightly and said, "So he is Guan Canglong. No wonder I felt a sense of camaraderie the first time I saw him."

"He's very strong. Among the giant dragons that entered here this time, besides you, probably only Jade Wings can handle him."

"Stop mentioning that despicable dragon." Wind of Grey Steel gritted his teeth in hatred.

"By the way, Lord Deep Dark Fury said Mountain Armor has agreed to join forces with him to venture into the highest mountain. When you see him, don't start a fight."

"Can I let him go? I'll fight him first, anyway, I'm ranked higher."

The dragons remained silent, in the sky, Wind of Grey Steel was naturally invincible.

But once on the ground, he'd surely be thrashed by Mountain Armor.

However, Wind of Grey Steel's three heads mastered spells, often allowing him to slightly prevail over Mountain Armor with magic.

These two were the strongest new generation in both tribes, fighting since they were young until now.

"If Mountain Armor comes, then Mountain and River Origin will come too."

"Hmm... I owe a favor to Mountain and River Origin, that's troublesome." Wind of Grey Steel frowned.

"If nothing unexpected happens, those two giants, once they're Innate, would probably join you in entering the 'Great Battlefield' to vie for the ancient inheritance."

"No problem, a giant dragon has never feared giants. I want the dragon soul ancestors of the Great Battlefield to witness my glory."

"I heard Deep Dark Fury also wants to enter; he said he's both a demon and a dragon."

Wind of Grey Steel said helplessly, "He's got a big butt and a long tail; whatever he says goes."

A giant dragon's eyes turned, speaking low, "Why don't we ambush Mountain Armor?"

"You guys, rotten to the core. I've told you countless times, a giant dragon must uphold justice! Let's go."

Wind of Grey Steel led five giant dragons, flying out of the camp.

In the distance, Jade Wings dug through the third backup passage, stepped out, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"The feeling of freedom is great, but the feeling of sneakiness is even better."

A gust of wind swept in.

Jade Wings quickly opened his eyes.

Only to see Deep Dark Fury, clawing several people, passing through the sky, turned to look over.

"Jade Wings?"

Jade Wings cursed inwardly, while retreating, and fawningly said, "Greetings to the invincible Deep Dark Fury."

"Just in time, return to the camp with me."

Without giving a word in edgewise, Deep Dark Fury swooped down, stretched out his rear leg's claw, grabbing Jade Wings by the neck like a chick, flying toward the camp.

Jade Wings cursed all of Deep Dark Fury's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart but stayed still, hanging stiff like a roast duck caught by Deep Dark Fury.

Upon seeing the camp, Deep Dark Fury finally released his grip.

Nearly suffocated, Jade Wings coughed while flapping his wings, trailing behind.

"Dare to run, I'll eat you!" Deep Dark Fury snorted lightly, flying with the captives towards the cave.

Jade Wings cursed again inwardly, many days of effort ruined in an instant.

He scanned the area weakly, finding no giant dragons.

"Hmm? High Priest? Who's that?"

Jade Wings flew over to where Zhou Leng and the Ice Snow Divine Sect were.

Jade Wings slowly descended, straightening his dragon body, standing tall.

This time without an icy surface, he landed firmly.

"Greetings to Jade Wings." The people from Ice Snow Divine Sect and Demon Worship Sect hurriedly bowed.

Jade Wings looked at Zhou Leng with curiosity.

This person's aura felt very familiar, yet judging by his appearance, they hadn't met before.

"It's me, Guan Canglong." Zhou Leng said.

Jade Wings was momentarily stunned, suddenly recalling the cunning Zhou Leng.

Thinking he might need his help to find the Green Dragon Grandmaster Jade Crown's body, he chuckled, saying, "We meet again, Master Frosty Hand misses you very much."

"How have you been? Your ranking seems to be last?"

"Being so weak, I should be at the end," Jade Wings said with a smile.

After catching up, Jade Wings chattered like a chatterbox with the people from the Ice Snow Divine Sect and the Demon Worship Sect.

As they chatted, Shen Jun mentioned Zhou Leng killed the Barbarian Star Axe.

Jade Wings kept a straight face but his heart skipped a beat, glancing at Zhou Leng.

Almost deceived by this human, he's even better at pretending to be weak than I am, I'll have to be wary of him in the future, hmm, and learn from him too.

Upon hearing about the push towards the highest mountain, Jade Wings pulled a long face and said, "Ah, being so weak, won't I just be dragging you all down going there? Lord Cyan Dragon, have mercy, persuade Deep Dark Fury to let me go like a fart."

"You're quite a big fart, can't be let out," Zhou Leng said.

"Deep Dark Fury's fart hole is big."

"Go, tell him that in person."

"Don't..."

Before long, the profane scribe ran over.

"Lord Cyan Dragon, Lord Jade Wings, Lord Deep Dark Fury said, once Wind of Grey Steel and the others return, they'll form an elite team to explore the highest mountain. If they can conquer it, they will, if not they'll continue seeking allies."

Zhou Leng asked, "Last time it was a snake monster, what's on the highest mountain?"

"Martial Stone-men, divided into two layers inside and outside. Last year, even someone as strong as Li Shenkong was firmly blocked by the outer Stone-men, unable to enter the inner layer."

"Specifically, which Martial Stone-men?"

"The outer layer is three hundred Innate Little Martial Stone-men, each three meters tall. The inner layer consists of thirty-three Martial Stone-men, ten meters tall. Lord Deep Dark Fury also tried and was badly beaten by the three hundred little ones, the Great Martial Stone-men have yet to make a move."
