Chapter 2112 - 2113: The Kings of the First Tier! (Second Update)

"Qing Lin, Fu Tian, Luo Ren, Traveler..."

Ye Qiu murmured the names of the contenders just below the Taiyi Saint Heir and Stone Demon Lord’s Holy Son on the Military Merit Points leaderboard. These individuals all belong to the first-tier young king level. Apart from the Taiyi Saint Heir, whose points far exceed others, the gaps among the rest aren’t too wide, merely several tens of thousands. The rankings fluctuate daily with scores rising and falling.

The second spot is occupied by the Stone Demon Lord, whom Ye Qiu is not unfamiliar with. He is the new Saint Heir of the Demon God Sect and had some conflicts with Ye Qiu initially. But surprisingly, even though the Stone Demon Lord should know that Ye Fentian has arrived at the Star River Ancient City, it’s been nearly a month and he hasn’t come to trouble him.

This puzzles Ye Qiu quite a bit.

Now facing the Stone Demon Lord, Ye Qiu won’t feel too daunted. In the past, their power difference was noticeable, and certain methods couldn’t be used, so Ye Qiu had to rely on external help. But now the situation is different. If the Stone Demon Lord seeks trouble, Ye Qiu won’t hesitate—he’s ready to fight!

Behind the Stone Demon Lord are four individuals, none of whom Ye Qiu is familiar with, nor has he met them. These young kings of the first-tier level have particularly mysterious whereabouts.

Ye Qiu naturally intends to investigate these potential rivals. He might not achieve the level of knowing oneself and knowing one’s enemy to remain undefeated, but some understanding is necessary.

Engaging in battle without any prior knowledge isn’t Ye Qiu’s approach.

Ye Qiu begins investigating the four individuals. With his prowess, if he offers some benefits, many are willing to share information. Plus, given Ye Qiu’s strength, few dare to offend him easily.

Ye Qiu doesn’t let people provide information for free; he directly gifts two thousand Military Merit Points as compensation, which makes those informed persons thank him profusely, and they enthusiastically share all details about these four individuals with him.

The third-ranked Qing Lin is also from the Ancestral Land, which surprises Ye Qiu. However, no one knows his exact identity, making him somewhat mysterious.

Ye Qiu hasn’t heard of this name in the Eastern and Southern Desolation, and he can’t make a judgment.

The fourth-ranked Fu Tian is a notably domineering figure from a remote star, but his talent is exceptional, and he acts decisively. He alone formed the powerful Demon Extermination Squad. Some analyses suggest his power could rival that of the Stone Demon Lord.

However, among these paragons, actual hands-on conflicts are unheard of. Determining real strength is elusive; only military merit points serve as an indicator of capabilities for now.

Ye Qiu feels this approach isn’t scientifically accurate, likely missing hidden factors. Moreover, dealing with Deep Space Abyss demons often demands luck.

At times, days may pass without encountering a powerful Abyss Demon Lord, but once lucky, one might face two at a time, soon followed by another pair—such occurrences are rare.

Previously, Ye Qiu experienced a similar situation only once, eventually using his trump card to escape unharmed.

Following Fu Tian is Luo Ren, an individual also distinctively mysterious, who opts for solo paths similar to Taiyi, even less known than Qing Lin.

Ranked sixth is a fellow whose name exudes a somewhat Buddhist vibe, Traveler.

This Traveler is also special due to his unique path differing significantly from others, being part of the Mechanical Tribe, not a true human—in fact, a robot, but a highly sophisticated one.

Zzz...

After gathering information, Ye Qiu realizes that none of them are simple!

Ye Qiu memorizes these individuals, for among the Martial Artists gathered in the ancient city, only these six rival him. Others either struggle at the Ruins Realm or at the Saint Realm; Supreme Saints are exceedingly rare.

Counting Ye Qiu, only seven exist.

No wonder Ye Qiu doesn’t regard other contenders—only a handful can threaten him. There’s little reason to prioritize others.

Three more days pass, with Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng continuing their training in the deep ancient land.

Ye Qiu seeks out Turquoise Pool and finds she has secluded herself, shrugging at the discovery—it’s common courtesy to notify him!

He doesn’t disturb Turquoise Pool, likely she hadn’t anticipated the retreat becoming enduringly enlightening, a phenomenon often referred to as sudden enlightenment.

Turquoise Pool perhaps unexpectedly experienced sudden enlightenment, unwilling to break from it.

To prevent disturbances, Ye Qiu thoughtfully arranges a small protective formation around Turquoise Pool’s training room, ensuring she remains undisturbed.

Immediately the room seems to vanish—it’s a solitary space with no nearby residents, so it’s unnoticed.

After completing this task, Ye Qiu muses that it’s impossible to linger in the ancient city indefinitely. Without Turquoise Pool, he must resume slaying Abyss Demons.

Ye Qiu sets off solo from the ancient city, attracting attention of many. The glances are filled with curiosity, fear, envy, and jealousy.

Shortly after Ye Qiu’s departure, word of him venturing alone towards Abyss Demons spreads widely, even as an unseen shadow secretly stalks him.

Frequenting the cosmic abyss previously, Ye Qiu finds the area quite familiar.

This time, coming alone, he fears no danger; his power speaks for itself. An Abyss Demon Lord appearing would merely demand some effort from him.

Upon reaching here again, Ye Qiu appears somewhat dazed. He recalls his first encounter at the cosmic abyss at this location, as the eyes in his mind refuse to vanish.

Beneath this cliff, at a depth of two hundred thousand meters, the mysterious and terrifying eyes remain unforgettable to Ye Qiu.

What level of existence could this be? Could it be from the Universe Realm?

Could it also be an Abyss Demon?

Ye Qiu’s mind hosts numerous questions. He knows curiosity can be dangerous, and the owner of such eyes is beyond his current qualifications. Yet, Ye Qiu’s heart persistently recalls them akin to an itch demanding a scratch.

Thus, he returns here intending to verify if those eyes persist beneath the abyss.

Could it be a royal Abyss Demon?

Ye Qiu is uncertain. Based on his judgment, the owner of those eyes might surpass royal Abyss Demons.

Though he’s unfamiliar with royal Abyss Demons’ power, the eyes give him an utterly dreadful feeling.

Just as Ye Qiu ponders standing at the cliff whether to utilize his penetrating gaze on the abyss again, he senses an approaching presence.

The crunch of footsteps gradually interrupts Ye Qiu’s thoughts.
