This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

Chapter 899: Reshuffling of the Five Consolidations; the world shook

Although Long Feihua had the upper hand because of his profound skills—yet, that was all. He saw no opening of turning the tables through his current advantage to achieve the victory he had yearned for. If this had continued, they could have been battling for three days straight and still be in a dead heat.

The opposing Jiao Dragon was strange in a way. It had looked like a purer breed compared to the Jiao Dragon King, and it could cast all kinds of Water Magic with ease, completely restraining his Fire Magic. Were it not for his greater power and strength, he would have been in a weaker spot with his fire attribute being countered.

He diverted his attention to Lu Xuan, who was watching the show from afar. His eyes were wild with frightful murderous intent. Until now, he still couldn’t figure out where Lu Xuan had gotten himself this beast. He let out a snort, not saying a word as he shifted into his phoenix form, flying off into the distance.

Lu Xuan had no intention of commanding the Deep Sea Poison Jiao Dragon to chase after him, as he knew his dragon would be at a disadvantage when it came down to a longspun fight. It had was lacking in strength. Most importantly, it had lacked the combat experience in which Long Feihua had. For Lu Xuan, not joining the battle was a clever decision as his dragon got to practice its skills in actual combat with an equally-leveled elite—it was a golden opportunity for training.

Once Long Feihua had left, the elites from the Xuanhuo Sect and its affiliates had left one after another. Lu Xuan didn’t find the need to exterminate them, after all. It wasn’t necessary.

And with Long Feihua’s departure, the Tempest Alliance Convention had come to an end. Everyone was still trying to take in this shocking change—there was now a fourth elite of the Summit of the Consolidation Realm.

The idea of it was unbelievable. It had always been the three of the Summit elites for so many years. Everyone had gotten used to their tripartite divisions. Now that there was a fourth, it would surely break the long-maintained balance of power.

The people had mixed feelings about this occurrence. Some were rejoicing because the new elite of the Summit was siding the humans. It wasn’t Lu Xuan, but it being his pet beast was enough to be celebrating about, as the ferocious, savagely violent creature would only listen to his command. Though, what had troubled them was that Lu Xuan was not a human from the Tempest Ocean Realm, but rather, he was from the Earth. With his appearance, he had not only messed up their plans in invading Earth, but he became the Earthlings’ pillar in standing up against them, being on the same footing.

This was how reality worked, especially in the Cultivation World—the strong would always prey on the weak. This was the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest. Only those who were strong enough had a saying, even if Earth’s spiritual connotation was still far from that of the Tempest Ocean Realm. As of right now, they could no longer overlook the creatures from Earth, pushing them around as they wished. They had to start treating them as equals, as long as Lu Xuan would be of its protection. This status would not be changing any time soon.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have incurred public wrath for monopolizing the privileges coming from the Earth. However, Lu Xuan had already done so—he had shed all pretenses and fallen out with them, and he had little worries of provoking public anger. Even if he did invoke any fury, it wouldn’t have affected him in any way.

Being an elite of the Summit of the Consolidation Realm was a god-like existence in the Tempest Ocean Realm. No Late-stage Consolidation Realm elite was nearly as good as one from the Summit.

“It’s petrifying. I’ve never imagined that someone like him would have appeared on Earth.”

“Admit it. From now on, we have no more business on Earth. We should give up.”

“They say the ones below the Consolidation Realm are nobodies. But look at the turn of events—I think everyone below the Summit of the Consolidation Realm is a nobody. The President of the Steel Knight Association, while in his Intermediate-stage Consolidation Realm, was finished off in one punch. And then the City Lord of the Cloud City in his Late-stage Consolidation Realm was knocked out in one punch.”

“Remember Li Shou? The Vice Sect Leader of the Xuanhuo Sect? He had also died under his blast. It had seemed like the Five Consolidations had never changed, yet everything was starting to reshuffle.”

At first glance, the Five Consolidations was the same it ever was, unchanging. But it was now completely different: Li Shou had been killed way before that, and the President of the Steel Knight Association, Yang Zuxin, was killed with a single punch. By these, the two of the Five Consolidations had been eliminated. Lady Lin from the Holy Nun Gate, who was middle-ranked in the first place, had declined to the bottom instead. Meanwhile, the City Lord of Cloud City, who was originally in the upper circle of the Five Consolidations, had regressed due to the emergence of Lu Xuan and his dragon.

“Everything is going to change. Before this, Lin Ziyi was the only one who had fought against the other elites of the Consolidation Realm. Now that we know she and Lu Xuan are close, and both of his two younger sisters are her disciples, the two have considered each other as allies. Not even the alliance between Cloud City and Xuanhuo Sect would be able to win the fight against them.”

When the thought of it ran across their minds, people had inhaled a deep breath, the air cold to their lungs. After so many years, the hierarchy in the Tempest Ocean Realm would be transforming as Lu Xuan rose above. And Lin Ziyi, who was in a weaker position and not having much of a saying before that, had her awkward situation twisted around.

Xuanhuo Sect, known to be the strongest, had now become the water-downed party. With their current combat strength, they were put in an unfavorable position if they faced Lu Xuan and his dragon, even with their alliance with Cloud City.

The world as they knew, was about to fall into chaos.

With the President of the Steel Knight Association, Yang Zuxin, killed, the City Lord of the Cloud City surrendered, and the Sect Leader of the Xuanhuo Sect, Long Feihua, forced to retreat, the grand event of the Tempest Alliance Convention had ended wretchedly. No consensus was ever reached, and the original proposal to divide Earth was never brought up again.

With the blessing of such a supreme existence on Earth, no one would have dared to scheme anything about Earth from that day onwards as they would have to go through Lu Xuan before that. Everyone had silently agreed that Earth was his own backyard, just like how each of the Holy Lands had their numerous direct territories.

This was the privilege of being the strongest of the elites. They would have needed it because if they hadn’t had enough of their own territories, they wouldn’t be able to gather unlimited resources. They wouldn’t be able to nurture countless elites, and they wouldn’t be able to pass down their knowledge and skills from generation to generation. This was the true meaning. This was the way of life.

All of what had happened at the convention had spread throughout the entire Tempest Ocean Realm overnight. Everyone would be bracing themselves for the coming change of their society’s structural order. Not only was there an additional force siding with the humans on the continent, but the long-maintained balance of the three Summit elites of the Consolidation Realm was about to change.

Like a divinity, his halo would hover over the entire sky of the Tempest Ocean Realm.
