The Supreme Lord Donghuang - Chapter 274

Just how long had the issue of a disturbance in Spirit energy persisted on the Guiyao planet?  This was something Zhou Donghuang was not too sure of.

 The only thing he knew for sure was that this situation had already been a thing on the Guiyao planet long before the Alliance Hunt had been a thing.

“If the issue of a disturbance in Spirit energy on the Guiyao planet, as well as the disappearance of life essence from the dead beasts, were both for the benefit of a demon…  “That demon that has been growing to this day will undoubtedly be peerless the moment it’s spawned!”  Zhou Donghuang knew full well that even if the Spirit energy on the Guiyao planet could not compare to the amount from the countless planets in the Hengliu galaxy, the demon would have grown to a frightening level after years of accumulating the Spirit energy.

 At the very least, adepts below the Separating Divinity stage would not be able to stop it.

 Meanwhile in the Hengliu galaxy, even the stronger of the two Transcendental Forces was only a late Divine Transformation adept…  This was all information Zhou Donghuang had obtained from He Mengxi.

 “In my past life, I don’t remember Third Senior Sister mentioning a demon wreaking havoc in the Hengliu galaxy… So it seems I can be sure that the demon of the Guiyao planet had not been born before Third Senior Sister had left the Hengliu galaxy after the destruction of the Lightning Sword Sect.

”  At this point, Zhou Donghuang let out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he was also curious: just where in the Guiyao planet was this demon hidden? .

.

.

 Judging solely by the current situation: From the big sects of the Hengliu galaxy Alliance, the Divine Transformation adepts had searched the Guiyao planet before the start of the hunt in an attempt to see if there existed either martial adepts or beasts above the Primordial Soul stage.

However, none of them had ever found anything.

 It was obvious that the demon had been hidden well.

 “With how I am now, I don’t think it’s a practical move to try to discover where the demon is while the hunt is on… I should focus on the Alliance Hunt for now, then make my next move after I have the Sky Sun fruit in my hands.

I’ll see if I can find the demon after the Alliance Hunt ends.

”  Zhou Donghuang made up his mind in a split second.

COM  Although he did not think that his current abilities could match up to the demon, it was obvious that it had not fully formed yet.

This was because a fully formed demon would be strong the moment it was born into the world.

If a strong enough person did not kill or deal with the demon, there was a ninety percent chance a lot of damage would be dealt.

 If Zhou Donghuang could find the demon before it was fully formed, he would be safe even if he stood right in front of it.

Unless, of course, he forcibly interrupted the spawning process and discarded the bulk of his skills.

 The spawning ground was generally no good place to be.

 This was also one reason why Zhou Donghuang was so disturbed.

 However, Zhou Donghuang did not forget that he was still a part of the Alliance Hunt at this moment.

As such, he continued roaming the Guiyao planet after he made his mind up, killing beast after beast.

 Before, he did not collect the heads of the mid Dharma beasts after he had killed them.

After that, he moved on to killing other mid Dharma and early Dharma beasts, collecting their heads and storing them in the other two space rings.

 In one of the rings, he stored only the heads of the early Dharma beast.

In the other he used it to store those of the late Dharma beasts.

 He could not accumulate points from these two types of beasts even if he brought them along, but he could gift them to other people before he left.

 If he could run into He Mengxi and Da Zhuang before he left, he could still hand the heads of the mid Dharma beasts over to them to boost their loot… He had even thought of saving the heads of the early Dharma beasts so he could hand them over to Luo Qinghan if they crossed paths on the Guiyao planet.

 Of course, he knew that there was no way Luo Qinghan would accept them.

 As such, he had no intention to reveal his true identity to Luo Qinghan when they met.

 He could keep his identity a secret.

 “Never would have thought that I’d be having girl problems… That girl, though, she really is stubborn.

”  Whether it was the choice she had made earlier or the way she refused to acknowledge him now, Zhou Donghuang remained calm through it all.

 He was no longer as willful now as he was before—he had once knocked on Luo Qinghan’s door to look for the lady.

With regards to her, he had resigned himself to fate.

Otherwise, he would definitely have kept a close eye on Luo Qinghan the moment they entered the Guiyao planet.

He would have kept tabs on her and where she went; he would follow to protect her and even help her hunt beasts.

 Earlier, he had hastily stuck up for her when the Tiansong Sect disciple, Mo Yitian had proposed, but he had not intervened to rescue Luo Qinghan.

 There were some things he could let slide, as long as he was there to witness it.

 But if he were, there was no way he could stand still.

 On the way here, there were no beasts that could stand against Zhou Donghuang, no matter what kind of beast they were.

 The early Dharma beasts, he took down with a single blow.

 The mid Dharma beasts, he took down with a single blow.

 The late Dharma beasts, he took down with a single blow.

 The ultimate Dharma beasts, too… Even those, he took down with a single blow.

 There was no challenge.

 There was no pressure.

 The Zhou Donghuang of today was capable of making a clean sweep of the entire Guiyao planet just with his White Tiger Dharma Power alone… In the Hengliu galaxy, a martial adept was considered to be a rare talent with potential if they could master the Dharmic possession technique while they were still at the Dharma stage.

 The Zhou Donghuang of today was capable of mastering not just the Dharmic possession technique, but also the more advanced techniques of the Dharma stage used to control Dharma Power.

 Dharma Power Control.

 It was a technique used to command Dharma Power, to command it like an arm, as your heart wished.

 With a spell from him, the Dharma Power could be used for more than just simple possession.

It was not a stretch to say that the power could morph to take any shape.

 Just as it had been on his journey so far: with one spell of his, the Dharma Power condensed into a blade.

This was a sort of Dharma Power Control in itself.

 His Dharma Power now could be used to take the shape of a weapon, and it was a tall order to have it take the shape of anything else.

 In this boundless universe where resources are plentiful, in the vast galaxies, adepts who could master the technique of Dharmic possession while they were at the Dharma stage were considered average… Only those who could master the technique of Dharma Power Control while they were at the Dharma stage could be considered geniuses.

 Of course, in a galaxy like the Hengliu galaxy, there has not been an adept that had mastered the Dharma Power Control technique throughout the course of its history.

 “Hm?”  On his way here, Zhou Donghuang had lost count of the number of beasts he had slaughtered.

He killed indiscriminately: as long as he saw one, he would kill it regardless of its level of training and keep its head.

 Those corpses which contained precious materials were stored in another space ring.

He planned on having his third senior sister, He Mengxi deal with this, exchanging them for spirit stones at the trading plaza in the Lightning Sword Sect after they had both returned.

 But even then, he still could not be bothered to loot from the corpses of a bunch of average beasts.

 In the end, he only collected from the beasts who were at the Dharma stage and that contained rare materials.

 Sometime after, his space ring was not enough to contain the loot.

He trashed the corpses of a few of the regular beasts that he had collected earlier on and used the ring to store only the bodies of the beasts that were at the Dharma stage.

 At this time, only one of the three months set aside for the Alliance Hunt had passed.

 In this one month, Zhou Donghuang had crossed paths with tens of people from the different allied sects.

That said, he was the one who spotted them most of the time, and they did not notice him.

 There were but a handful of people who noticed him: two early Dharma adepts and one mid Dharma adept.

The three of them did not dare to provoke him upon seeing him.

Although they were not entirely certain of his level of training, they knew, at the very least, that their level of training was lower than his.

 “Hm?”  On this day, Zhou Donghuang stepped into the air, moving out from a crowd of mountains.

His Divine Will that had been enveloping the surrounding area had picked up on two people hiding behind a peak.

 At that moment, Zhou Donghuang stared at their Dharma Power for a good while.

 In the end, the two people had no intention of stepping out, so he turned to leave.

 However, in the moment he turned, the two people who had been stock-still finally shifted.

They stepped out, one after the other.

In the blink of an eye, they had caught up to Zhou Donghuang.

The pair intercepted Zhou Donghuang—one of them stood in front of him, and the other behind him.

 These were two young men who seemed to be around 30 years old.

Of course, they were probably older than this in reality.

 However, they were definitely no older than 50.

 This was because the disciples from the sects of the alliance that were taking part in this hunt could not be older than 50, and this was just the requirement for the ultimate Dharma disciples… For disciples of a lower level of training, the age limit was enforced even more strictly.

 Before the Alliance Hunt started, mid Divine Transformation adepts from three sects of the alliance had entered the Guiyao planet for an expedition.

A group of people who were taking part in the alliance hunt, which included Zhou Donghuang, had also passed the alliance’s age detection.

 Their age was verified through the age of their bones.

 This method of detection had a margin of error of fewer than three months.

 “Were you hesitant to step out earlier because you wanted to check if I had a partner with me?” At the sight of the pair rushing out to stop him even though they had been hiding away just a while before, Zhou Donghuang asked mildly with a slight squint of his eyes.

 “Indeed, you really did spot us.

”  The young man blocking his way looked him straight in the eye.

“You’re right… Now, you’re choosing to cooperate by handing over the space ring you used to store the heads of the beasts.

Or do you want for us to beat you up before you hand over the ring?”  Before Zhou Donghuang could even respond, the young man standing behind him spoke first, “Young lad, the both of us are ultimate Dharma adepts… So I’d suggest you not take any chances.

”  Zhou Donghuang laughed.

 The young man who was blocking his way furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the other man laugh.

 “Young lad, what are you laughing at? Don’t try to bluff your way through this by acting like an idiot!”  Zhou Donghuang’s smile vanished.

At the same time, he looked at the young man with a profound gaze, then asked mildly, “Will the both of you choose to hand over your space rings now, or will you wait for me to beat you up before you hand over your rings?”
