Asura Saint

Unknown to Xuanyuan, a few hours after he left, the weather suddenly changed in the Sky cloud city as the clouds darkened obstructing the light from the sun plunging the whole city in darkness. Lightning flashes could be seen occasionally signifying that something dreadful was about to happen.

At the same time, a figure appeared in the sky and released a powerful aura that cast a suppression throughout the city.

At the same time, three figures rose to the sky from three different directions. Two of them were the sect Masters of the two largest sect in Sky cloud city; the Myriad storm Emperor and Dominion Emperor. The last one was the city lord of Sky cloud city, the Sky cloud Emperor. A half step tier 5 expert. The three of them were the most powerful individuals in Sky cloud city.

But currently, they had ugly looks on their faces as they scrutinized the newcomer. This was because, he was the Asura Saint, Ghosthand's brother and a bonafide tier 5 Saint!

"Who's the bastard that killed my brother?" Asura Saint asked in a loud voice that sent shockwaves coursing throughout the city. Those at lower tiers even found their ears bleeding. This was undoubtedly the might of someone who's reached tier 5.

"Lord Asura Saint, please calm down. We can talk about this in my mansion" Sky cloud Emperor said trying to quell the furious Asura Saint.

"If that bastard is not provided immediately, I'm going to raze this city to the ground!" he said increasing the pressure he emanated and cracks began appearing on the ground.

"It was me!" Myriad storm Emperor suddenly shouted.

"You couldn't have killed my brother!" Asura Saint chuckled wickedly. "But since you are so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" he added.

He raised his hand and a frightening palm began materializing before him that radiated a thick aura of death.

"Oh! No! It's the Abyssal palm!" The three Emperors exclaimed. This Abyssal palm was far stronger than the one casted by Ghosthand casted due to the tier difference. The three Emperors hurriedly took out their weapons as they also attacked with all their might trying to block the palm.

A powerful shockwave was generated as the two attacks collided and the space around them shattered. The trio were sent flying away with numerous injuries while Asura Saint remained unscathed. But the palm was successfully blocked.

"I'll see if you can block another one" Asura Saint said as he hurled another Abyssal palm towards Sky cloud city.

The palm wasn't exactly enormous but if it landed, the whole city would be destroyed. Exterminating cities is child's play for a tier 5 Saint.

Despaired colored the faces of everyone in Sky cloud city as they watched as the Abyssal palm descended upon them. There was nothing the three Emperors could do as they couldn't take on one more Abyssal palm.

"Halt" A low voice was suddenly heard just when the Palm was going to strike the city. A strange ripple coursed through the city as the Palm grounded to a halt above the city.

"Who?!" Asura Saint was vigilant as he gazed at the sillouhette that arrived above him.

When this person appeared, his presence was akin to the mid-day sun that illuminated the city that was plunged in darkness. Everyone below him felt a wave of pressure that made them feel like prostrating to the glory of this man who appeared to have transcended the realms of mortals and became a God!

"This city and its inhabitants are under my protection. Leave now!" Cyan sky God said in an authoritative tone that does not demand any objection.

Adura Saint could only grit his teeth in frustration as there's nothing he could do against the Cyan sky God. The gap between tier 5 and tier 6 isn't one that can be transcended easily.

He snorted in annoyance before teleporting away from Sky cloud city relieving the city of the pressure and darkness that enveloped it. Cyan sky God also left quietly as if he was never there in the first place.

The three Emperors of Sky cloud city had a bewildered look on their faces as they gazed at the spot where Cyan sky God stood. Each of them had been to Divine sky city in the city and recognized the Cyan sky God. But that's why they were surprised as to why he'd protect their city. They probably would never realize it was out of Xuanyuan's request unless they also reached a level where they were qualified to question the Cyan sky God.

Of course these are all matters of the future!

On the other hand, Xuanyuan after spending roughly ten minutes in the spatial fissure was finally hurled out and landed safely inside the special training room he was in before he left. He smiled as he felt the familiar spiritual energy lingering in the air.

Ever since he teleported back in time to the Ancient realm, he'd always felt a weird feeling and he took him a while to truly get familiar with the energy in the Ancient realm. But now that he's back, the sense of familiarity and belonging has been rekindled.

Before he could figure out anything about where he landed, a series of notifications jolted his attention. It was the system notifications warning him to prepare for the battle of Jade spear holy city.

But what made Xuan surprised was that he had left for his tier 3 promotion a few days before the battle and had been worried because he thought he wouldn't make it back in time and thus fail his quest. But right now, he saw that there was still one more day before the battle would begin. That means only a day had passed since he left. This was no doubt a strange occurrence...

"I guess the time at the Ancient realm flowed faster in the Ancient realm then" he said.

Xuanyuan quickly sorted out some things before exiting the special training room. This time, there's no need to visit the Adventurers' association to certify himself as a tier 3 sword King. The title he posseses are enough to grant him automatic certification once he's completed his promotion quests.

Once he left the training room, he quickly assembled the army of NPCs of Jade spear city with the help of the official who was now a tier 4 powerhouse and began making preparations to finally begin the battle the next day.

But what made Xuanyuan surprised is that, he wasn't the only player participating in the battle between the three cities. Somehow the three cities were able to issue out quests to the players in their city to participate in the battle to earn big rewards. Hence the enemies the holy city was preparing to face has increased by several folds.

Xuanyuan wasn't particularly concerned about this but instead had a strange idea in his head as he reviewed his privileges as the city lord of Jade spear holy city.

"Oh! this was it!" Xuanyuan chuckled. Among the authorities of a city lord was the power to issue out city quests to players. So he could actually give out quests to the players in Jade spear holy city for them to join the battle.
