CHAPTER 2050: CHAPTER 2050: SUPER DIVINE ARTIFACT ‘ASURA BLADE’

"My name is ’Maximus Lee’!"

The leading elder’s single sentence also revealed his identity:

He was none other than Elder Silver Flame of the ’Fire Worship Sect,’ one of the three major sects in the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land.

He was also the First Elder Silver Flame of ’Black Tortoise Altar,’ one of the Four Symbols Altars in the Fire Worship Sect!

And the reason he appeared in Mansion of Azure Clouds was because he wanted to deal with the current true disciple of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Wyatt Barnes’... He intended to use Wyatt Barnes’ family to coerce Wyatt into leaving the Fire Worship Sect, putting him at his mercy!

Originally, Maximus Lee should have arrived at the Lower Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land, at the ’Mansion of Azure Clouds.’

However, because after he left North Qizong, he unexpectedly discovered a shocking news, which delayed his original itinerary with the people sent by its Fifth Elder, ’Russel Yorke.’

The shocking news was related to the ’Asura Blade,’ one of the ten legendary sacred weapons on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List.’

The Asura Blade had emerged!

In the past, some of the ten legendary sacred weapons on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List’ were held by the higher-ups of the three major sects, while others were whereabouts unknown:

The ’Asura Blade’ was one among them.

Although Maximus Lee was eager to go to the Lower Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land to investigate Wyatt Barnes’ ’background,’ compared to the ’Asura Blade’ on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List,’ his investigation into Wyatt’s ’background’ suddenly seemed less urgent.

Thus, he sent the group of Saint Immortal Realm powerhouses given to him by Russel Yorke to scatter and find the fortunate one who had obtained the ’Asura Blade.’

Meanwhile, he himself did not remain idle.

It’s undeniable that Maximus Lee was quite lucky, eventually finding the lucky one who acquired the ’Asura Blade.’

After killing that lucky individual, he also obtained the ’Asura Blade.’

Of course, his acquisition of the ’Asura Blade’ was known only to himself.

The Saint Immortal Realm powerhouses from North Qizong who followed him were completely unaware of this.

Perhaps these Saint Immortal Realm powerhouses from North Qizong didn’t have the power to seize the ’Asura Blade’ from Maximus Lee, but they could spread this news far and wide...

Once the news spreads out, there’s no way Maximus Lee could hold onto the ’Asura Blade’!

Maximus Lee, after all, couldn’t compare to ’Cade Simpson’ who had snatched the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ from Wyatt Barnes back then.

Cade Simpson, though merely an ordinary elder of the ’Mysterious Buddha Sect’, had a father who was one of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect.

The Four Great Dharma Kings held a status in the Mysterious Buddha Sect equivalent to the Three Great Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect, all being peak powerhouses in the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land!

With a Dharma King from the Mysterious Buddha Sect as his backing, even possessing the ’Demon Sealing Monument’, there were few who dared to openly contest him.

Moreover, whether the Demon Sealing Monument remained with Cade Simpson was uncertain; maybe after returning to the Mysterious Buddha Sect, he gave it to his father, none other than ’Golden Lion King’ among the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect.

The Asura Blade, a renowned supreme sacred weapon on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List,’ was primarily an offensive ’Ten Thousand Pattern Sacred Weapon,’ powerful enough to easily crush ’Thousand Pattern Sacred Weapons’!

Who wouldn’t desire such a sacred weapon?

Maximus Lee, as a Silver Flame Elder of the Fire Worship Sect without much backing, what right did he have to keep this supreme sacred weapon?

Perhaps some would say his backing was the ’Fire Worship Sect’?

Once news of his acquisition of the ’Asura Blade’ spreads, even the higher-ups above the Golden Flame Elder of the Fire Worship Sect would be tempted, and even within the sect, he would not be able to keep the ’Asura Blade.’

Therefore, after obtaining the ’Asura Blade,’ Maximus Lee made a secret resolution:

Unless facing life-or-death danger, he would never casually use the ’Asura Blade’ until he possessed the strength to defend it.

After all, the allure of the ’Asura Blade’ was just too great!

Though acquiring the ’Asura Blade’ was an unexpected delight for Maximus Lee, a major boon, he still did not forget his other objective:

To investigate Wyatt Barnes’ ’background’ in the Lower Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land!

After acquiring the ’Asura Blade,’ one of the ten supreme sacred weapons on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List,’ he regrouped the people assigned to him by North Qizong’s Fifth Elder Russel Yorke and arrived at the Lower Domain via the ’Cross-Domain Teleportation Array.’

And everything that followed went very smoothly.

Upon reaching the ’Lower Domain,’ he promptly learned of Wyatt Barnes’ ’background’ from its guards.

After learning Wyatt’s background, he immediately brought people to Mansion of Azure Clouds.

Hence, the present scene.

"Maximus Lee?"

Upon hearing Maximus Lee’s words, a group of Blackarmor Army guards were all puzzled, as they had never heard of this name.

Thus, their hearts were filled with fear.

Judging by the power displayed by the people following the elder who called himself ’Maximus Lee,’ each was at least top-tier in the Lower Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land, and anyone who could have such powerhouses as followers was surely even more formidable and terrifying!

However, they had never heard of the name ’Maximus Lee’!

Such a degree was enough to indicate:

The opponent was either a formidable hidden expert of the Lower Domain or came from the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land!

"Sir, may I ask your reason for visiting Mansion of Azure Clouds?"

Finally, a Centurion of the Blackarmor Army mustered the courage to ask Maximus Lee, with some difficulty.

"Nothing much."

In response to the Centurion’s inquiry, Maximus Lee said lightly, "I have come mainly to take the family of your Junior House Master to the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land as guests..."

Junior House Master?

Martial Dao Sacred Land, Upper Domain?

Upon hearing Maximus Lee’s words, a group of Blackarmor Army guards couldn’t help but gasp.

Although Maximus Lee spoke politely, they were certain that he was absolutely not just here to invite someone to the Upper Domain as a guest...

If he was merely here to invite someone as a guest, would he need to kill along the way?

"He truly is a strong cultivator from the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land!"

"He also mentioned the ’Junior House Master’... it seems he has a vendetta against the Junior House Master!"

"Oh my! How did the Junior House Master manage to provoke such a formidable opponent... Moreover, this person actually wants to take the House Master and his family to Martial Dao Sacred Land, Upper Domain! Are they planning to use them to threaten the Junior House Master?"

"Isn’t it obvious? I never imagined, after the Junior House Master went to the Upper Domain for such a short time, he could provoke such a strong opponent that they resort to capturing his family to threaten him... The Junior House Master truly deserves to be known as the ’peerless genius’ of our Martial Dao Sacred Land, Lower Domain!"

"Looking at the situation now... even in the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land, the Junior House Master has surely made a name for himself! Otherwise, his adversaries wouldn’t try to use his family as leverage."

...

When the group of Blackarmor Army guards mentioned ’Wyatt Barnes,’ far from blaming him for the disaster brought upon Mansion of Azure Clouds, they instead displayed pride.

The Blackarmor Army guards were all elite members of Mansion of Azure Clouds, selected through rigorous processes.

Every Blackarmor Army guard was ready to sacrifice themselves for Mansion of Azure Clouds at any time!

"The Junior House Master is impressive!"

Among the Blackarmor Army guards, a Centurion suddenly shouted loudly, his tone full of excitement.

If Wyatt Barnes were here, he would easily recognize that this Centurion was Zachary Tackman, who used to be known as the ’first person below Earth Saint Realm’ in Martial Dao Sacred Land, Lower Domain.

He was also the personal disciple of Withered, one of the former House Master’s right-hand men.

Back then, Withered was killed by Elder Cade Simpson of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, and Zachary Tackman, in his grief, quickly advanced to Earth Saint Realm, becoming the top under the Blackarmor Army leader.

He was also designated as the heir to the next leader of the Blackarmor Army.

For the present group of Blackarmor Army guards, he was clearly the leader. Upon hearing his words, they all followed suit, eagerly shouting, "Junior House Master!"

"Junior House Master!"

"Junior House Master!"

...

As the group of Blackarmor Army guards enthusiastically shouted, their gaze at Maximus Lee and his companions transformed completely.

From initial ’fear and helplessness,’ it became ’contempt and disdain.’

"Do you really think your Junior House Master has the power to make me hesitate, and that’s why I grabbed his family?"

Maximus Lee naturally heard the earlier chatter of the Blackarmor Army guards. Now, seeing them looking at him with contempt and disdain, it ignited a fiery rage inside him.

A raging inferno burned, seemingly capable of consuming everything!

"Isn’t that so?"

Upon hearing Maximus Lee’s words, Zachary Tackman sneered.

"Isn’t that so?"

The Blackarmor Army guards chimed in, sneering, gazing at Maximus Lee with complete contempt and disdain.

"Hmph! If your Junior House Master hadn’t hidden himself, I would have torn him to pieces long ago! My visit to Lower Domain, to your Mansion of Azure Clouds to capture his family, is merely to lure him out and kill him... In my eyes, he’s nothing but an ant!"

Maximus Lee snorted disdainfully.

"Hahahaha..."

Almost as soon as Maximus Lee’s words fell, Zachary Tackman suddenly burst into laughter, "Old man, since the Junior House Master isn’t here, you’re free to say what you want... Looking at your age, you’re still inferior to our Mansion of Azure Clouds’ Junior House Master!"

"If I were you, I would have wished to dig a hole and hide in the ground... Yet here you are, coming to Lower Domain to capture the Junior House Master’s family! You’re truly ridiculous! Pathetic!"

Zachary Tackman’s words were blunt and bluntly rude.

And he had no reason to be polite.

At this moment, he was prepared to die.

"You’ll regret this!!"

Zachary Tackman’s words finally enraged Maximus Lee, who let out a fierce cry, intending to strike Zachary Tackman as his Saint Origin surged.

And at that moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three swift figures flew over at an extremely exaggerated speed.

"Heavenly Saint Realm?"

Although the speed of the three figures wasn’t very fast in Maximus Lee’s eyes, it still caught his attention.

Because he realized:

The speed of the three approaching individuals had reached the level of Heavenly Saint Realm.

From what he knew, in this Martial Dao Sacred Land, Lower Domain, the existence of Heavenly Saint Realm was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Yet now, in Mansion of Azure Clouds, there appeared three individuals of Heavenly Saint Realm!
