Chapter 9

Today's second update is here, please give your support:)

------------------------

In the split second, a circle of transparent ripples emerged between Xiao Sheng's palms, rapidly spreading in all directions. In an instant, the ripples came into contact with another invisible force, and a fierce confrontation erupted.

Even though it was invisible to the naked eye, everyone present suddenly felt a moment of dizziness. It was as if the entire space around them was violently shaking. Immediately after, a phoenix's long cry echoed in their ears.

The cry was clear, solitary, and lofty, like a celestial sound descending from the heavens, so beautiful that no words could describe it. Everyone, unable to resist, wore an expression of utter enchantment, completely immersed and unable to extricate themselves.

At this moment, a sharp, shrill scream suddenly burst out, drowning out the lingering celestial sound. Everyone instinctively looked towards the source of the piercing noise and were shocked to see it was Bai Li Kunluo!

The man who had just exuded the demeanor of a grandmaster, wielding life and death at will, was now lying on the ground, his hands tightly clasping his head, rolling around like a madman. His appearance of extreme pain was as if thousands of red-hot, sharp needles were stabbing and poking inside his brain.

In unbearable pain, Bai Li Kunluo screamed at the top of his lungs, smashing his head against the ground, leaving dents in the floor. At first glance, he was no longer a grandmaster but a mad dog!

A grandmaster had suddenly turned into a mad dog. The stark contrast was almost unbelievable, and this outcome was entirely due to Xiao Sheng.

In a battle of wills, it is even more ruthless and leaves no room for mercy compared to physical combat. Compared to the incomparable grandeur of the Kala Hall, Bai Li Kunluo's so-called grandmaster aura was insignificant. Xiao Sheng, who had entered the Kala Hall multiple times, had a willpower far beyond what Bai Li Kunluo could shake.

Moreover, Xiao Sheng had once entered a parallel dimension where the entire world was almost covered by the ocean. There, he awakened his innate qualities of a king, known as 'overbearing aura.'

After returning to the Kala Temple, Xiao Sheng spent a large amount of temporal energy points on arduous and specialized training. Ultimately, he successfully combined his innate overbearing aura with the Ripple Immortal Dao, forming a new power.

People with the innate qualities of a king inherently possess extremely strong mental power. After specialized training, this advantage became even more pronounced. Therefore, even grandmasters, let alone higher-level grandmasters, might not match Xiao Sheng in terms of mental strength.

Bai Li Kunluo's attempt to suppress Xiao Sheng with his mental power was like showing off one's axe in front of Lu Ban, overestimating his own abilities. Thus, his defeat was inevitable!

A grandmaster, after all, is still a grandmaster. Compared to the Ninth Prince, who had only reached the second level of martial arts, "Sinew Transformation," Bai Li Kunluo was still much stronger. Despite the excruciating pain in his head and his complete defeat, he still maintained a clear mind. He even attempted to turn the tide and achieve victory in defeat.

Without hesitation, Bai Li Kunluo clenched his teeth, gathered his remaining strength, and raised his right hand. He pulled out a smooth crystal cylinder from his pocket. From the outside, it was impossible to tell what this gold cylinder was. But the reason Bai Li Kunluo took it out at this critical moment was clear: he believed it could help him turn the tide!

Without a moment's delay, the prince tightly gripped the cylinder in his palm and aimed it at Xiao Sheng, roaring, "You bastard, die!"

But before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Sheng laughed and said, "Dream on." He casually picked up a wooden stick from the ground and, without mercy, struck Bai Li Kunluo's wrist. By the time the prince finished saying "die," he was already screaming in pain. The bones in his hand were shattered, and tears streamed down his face.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Sheng sneered, "Want to cut my leg? Want me to kneel and apologize? Ha! Show me you can protect your own limbs first." Without further ado, he raised the wooden stick and began beating Bai Li Kunluo mercilessly.

In just a few seconds, the prince was bruised and swollen, and no one knew how many times he had been hit. His limbs, which were the main targets, were broken with severe force. Overwhelmed by pain and anger, the prince suddenly screamed and fainted, losing consciousness.

Complete silence, not a sound!

There was no other reason. Xiao Sheng, the "Waste Prince," had performed so fiercely that it had surpassed the imagination of the onlookers.

The "Waste Prince," who had always been bullied and seemed like a coward, had actually stood up today. Unexpected!

The "Waste Prince," who had the Six Yin Meridians and could not cultivate, had faced off against the Ninth Prince, who had reached the peak of the "Sinew Transformation" level, and ended up with the Ninth Prince's leg broken and a slap to the face. Unexpected!

If the Ninth Prince's defeat could be attributed to bad luck, then when Bai Li Kunluo stepped in to avenge him, no one thought the Waste Prince had even the slightest chance.

But the final result left everyone speechless. An untrained person could actually defeat a grandmaster? This... this... is this reality or a dream?

Among the group that had come with the Ninth Prince, some were dull-witted and remained confused, only able to stare blankly.

Others were more astute and remembered that although the Waste Prince was a waste, his mother, Empress Mu, had been the emperor's favorite concubine, often receiving various treasures from the emperor.

Even after Empress Mu's death, some of these treasures might still be left. With these treasures as support, the Waste Prince would not be an easy target, even if he couldn't cultivate.

Additionally, there were those who had been serving Xiao Sheng, led by the old eunuch Guan, who were both excited and surprised. They knew the young master's background all too well.

After the main lady's death, what treasures were left? The young master had the Six Yin Meridians and could not cultivate, often suffering from various illnesses. Today, the young master had shown such divine power. Could it be... could it be the spirit of the main lady protecting him?

Some were puzzled, some were lost, some were delighted, and some were intimidated. For a moment, everyone was lost in their thoughts, and no one spoke.

Xiao Sheng didn't care what others thought. No matter how much they speculated, they could never imagine the existence of the Kala Hall. The most important thing now was to gather the spoils of war.

This was a habit Xiao Sheng had developed after entering multiple parallel universes. After all, at the beginning, he was truly the "Waste Prince." Every battle with an enemy was a matter of life and death. If he fought to the death and gained nothing, it would be a huge loss.

Dropping the broken wooden stick, Xiao Sheng first picked up the crystal cylinder. Upon closer inspection, he saw that a living creature was sealed inside the cylinder.

It was a ladybug, about the size of a fingernail. Its body was crystal clear and shiny, seemingly made of red transparent crystal, with its internal organs faintly visible. Blue flames flickered within its body, creating an eerie sight.

Others might not know what this was, but Xiao Sheng was an exception! He had once entered a parallel world and encountered similar creatures. Despite his courage, seeing this ladybug sealed in the crystal, he couldn't help but shudder and exclaim, "Infinite Hellfire?"

This ladybug was not an ordinary creature but a highly dangerous and unique demon insect! The blue flames within its body were said to be evil flames capable of destroying souls. Once they touched an ordinary person, they would immediately spread like wildfire, and no method could extinguish them. They would not stop until the victim was reduced to ashes.

Worse still, this demon insect had the ability to split automatically. Blind attacks would not only fail to eliminate it but would cause it to multiply. One ladybug could split into thousands or even millions, making it the most terrifying creature.

In the parallel world Xiao Sheng had entered, this demon insect was the sacred insect of a mysterious ancient country called the "Demon Kingdom." The rulers of the Demon Kingdom used this insect to guard their most important secrets. Anyone who dared to pry into the Demon Kingdom's secrets would inevitably be burned to ashes by the Infinite Hellfire of the demon insect.

In that world, Xiao Sheng, who had not yet begun cultivating the Ripple Immortal Dao, had suffered greatly from these demon insects. The experience, which had nearly cost him his life, still left him with lingering fear when he thought about it.
