Volume 4: Hidden Battles – Chapter 90: Eternal Dominance

For the battle master Wei Yanqing, this strike was delivered with all his strength. He not only used it to defend the dignity of their Tianmo Sect but also because of the formidable abilities of the Tiancai Di Bao brothers. With his seasoned experience, Wei Yanqing immediately realized that the two before him hadn’t given it their all—this was a common mistake among newcomers who rarely went all out from the start.

Obviously, Wei Yanqing was no rookie. So he immediately used his ultimate move, “Battle Kill,” to deal with the harassment from the Tianyin Sect. Leveraging his advantage in the air, he swiftly followed up with his second devastating move, “Battle Break,” aiming to kill the two brothers in one strike!

Fortunately, the Tiancai Di Bao brothers were naturally highly sensitive to energy, sensing the power of this move in advance. When Wei Yanqing launched his attack, the two communicated mentally and temporarily combined forces to use the Yunmen Sect’s ultimate technique, “Eternal Dominance,” in an attempt to withstand it.

As soon as this move was used, Chu Tianyu immediately deduced that the two brothers must be his apprentices! After all, Yunmen martial arts emphasized harmony with nature, a gentle and serene state. Yet “Eternal Dominance” was the complete opposite—focused on masculinity and strength, pursuing a bold spirit of dominating the world with boundless fighting passion.

Thus, “Eternal Dominance” was not part of Yunmen martial arts at all. It was something Second Master Xianyun had stumbled upon in a secret vault during one of his travels. Realizing it wasn’t suitable for Yunmen disciples to practice, he initially entrusted it to the eldest brother for safekeeping. Later, when Chu Tianyu began practicing under him, protected by the aura of the Purple Void True Dragon, he faced no restrictions in practicing any martial arts. Naturally, Xianyun shared this technique with his beloved disciple, including “Eternal Dominance,” and explained its origin to him.

Therefore, the moment Chu Tianyu saw it, he knew right away that the Tiancai Di Bao brothers must be descendants of the eldest brother. Heh, with their physiques, practicing this move was perfect for them!

Although Wei Yanqing’s skills were extremely high, they still weren’t strong enough to threaten the lives of the two brothers. His move, “Battle Break,” would at most cause them some pain—which was good too; it would help these apprentices grow stronger.

After learning about their seniority, Chu Tianyu naturally assumed a senior attitude and thought to himself that he was indeed fortunate to have several masters and peers who were all his junior disciples. He also felt embarrassed for having borrowed a new smartphone and accepted many “precious treasures” under the pretense of ignorance. Ah, what an embarrassment!

In some distant place, a monk who was meditating suddenly shuddered as a chill ran down his back. Unconsciously, he thought of that mysterious young uncle and his newly bought smartphone…

Meanwhile, the battle became fierce. After the initial clash, both sides quickly threw dozens of punches at each other, engaging in a head-on struggle.

One side was fighting with full strength, while the other was hastily changing tactics and failing to fully utilize their skills. As a result, Wei Yanqing, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, had the upper hand even when fighting two opponents at once. With a roar of “Fighting Madman!”, he unleashed his third ultimate technique.

Dark shadows filled the arena as Wei Yanqing seemed to transform into countless illusions, all charging at the Tian Cai Bao brothers. To them, each illusion felt as real as the real thing, exerting immense pressure. With fierce winds blowing everywhere, Wei Yanqing’s frenzied attacks were already right at their doorstep.

The Tian Cai Bao brothers had no way to escape, and it was now their turn to hold on desperately.

The moment they made contact, a surge of energy erupted. Wei Yanqing’s punch carried the force of thunder, sending the brothers flying several feet away like hammers hitting nails.

The brothers flew through the air and, upon landing, instinctively took several steps back before collapsing to the ground, blood trickling from their mouths. It was clear they had suffered a heavy loss.

Despite their proud and reckless nature, which made them seem carefree most of the time, they couldn’t accept such a defeat at a critical moment.

Tian first bounced back up, blood still at the corner of his mouth, his eyes glowing like those of a wild beast. Without even adjusting his breath, he thrust his arms outward and then suddenly roared loudly, his upper clothes tearing apart to reveal his powerful muscles.

Veins bulged across his muscles, seemingly containing endless energy, giving off a strong sense of explosive power and strength!

“Cloud Swallow Triple Stack…” As Tian Cai roared, a layer of blue energy enveloped his entire body as he began absorbing energy from the surroundings. Even Chu Tianyu was greatly surprised by this move. The blue energy was undoubtedly his sect’s unique internal skill, Xuanqing True Qi. But Tian Cai’s subsequent actions left Chu Tianyu puzzled—his second master had never mentioned such a technique to him!

To everyone’s surprise, just as Tian Cai gathered energyto go berserk to go berserk, Wei Yanqing, the leader of the Heaven Demon Sect, suddenly shouted, “Is the person across from us a disciple of the Cloud Sect?”

“Yes. What’s the matter? You managed to give us a good fight earlier while we weren’t at full strength! Bro, keep going—let’s show him what we’re capable of!” Di Bao growled from behind.

Tian Cai hadn’t expected his sect to be recognized, let alone that his brother would admit it so quickly after getting angry. But since things had come to this point, there was no point in hiding it anymore. He glared at his brother fiercely before turning to Wei Yanqing to listen to what he had to say.

Seeing his brother’s gaze, Di Bao realized he had blurted out too much. Like a child who had done something wrong, he quickly lowered his head.

In fact, Wei Yanqing had figured out their identity not by sensing Xuanqing True Qi from Tian Cai, as Chu Tianyu had done, but because of a chance encounter in his early years when he was saved by a Taoist priest who seemed almost immortal. He remembered clearly that the priest wore a cloud-shaped jade pendant around his waist. Only after taking control of the Heaven Demon Sect did he learn that the priest who saved him was Xian Yun, the current leader of one of the most mysterious sects in the realm—the Cloud Sect.

Initially, when Wei Yanqing used the third move of his unique technique, “Chaos in the World,” he only managed to knock the two of them back to the ground. Seeing that their combat strength hadn’t diminished at all, he already regretted it. Even if he managed to defeat them, with so many people present, it would be easy to investigate later. If their elders or sects were drawn in, even the mighty Heaven Demon Sect wouldn’t be able to handle them!

Plus, as Tian Cai prepared to go berserk and his shirt shattered, revealing a cloud-shaped jade pendant around his neck, Wei Yanqing immediately associated him with a disciple of the Cloud Sect. He quickly spoke up to prevent the conflict from escalating.

Hearing Di Bao’s affirmative answer, Wei Yanqing bowed and said, “I am Wei Yanqing of the Heaven Demon Sect. May I ask how you two address Master Xian Yun?”

Tian Cai and Tian Bao were also confused by his behavior of being arrogant at first and obsequious later. Tian Cai unconsciously restrained his strength. When the other party asked about their mentor, since their identities had already been revealed this time, they generously replied, “He’s our mentor!”
Wei Yanqing of the Demon War Sect was terrified upon hearing this. If it was a direct descendant of the Cloud Gate Sect, then this person was already a third-generation disciple with skills nearly on par with his own. If not for his experience and quick thinking in taking the initiative, who knew what would have happened!
So he quickly said, “Oh my, it’s like a flood destroying the Dragon King Temple—family members don’t even recognize each other! In the past, the venerable Xian Yun saved my life. This is truly a misunderstanding!”
Seeing Wei Yanqing’s respectful expression, Tian Cai and Tian Bao were also confused. Tian Bao asked doubtfully, “Are you not fighting anymore?”
“Of course not. From now on, you two young masters are friends of our Demon Magic Sect. Whenever we need your help, just let us know. I can’t promise much, but our sect has many members!”
As if to back up his words, a loud slogan echoed from afar: “Members of the Demon Magic Sect—none can rival us!” A large group of people from the sect arrived.
It turned out that since they suddenly lost contact with the scouts ahead, they guessed something might have gone wrong. Wei Yanqing, who was also frustrated by the narrow path, had brought a group of elites ahead to stretch their legs and see who dared to attack members of their sect.
That’s why the earlier scene occurred. No one expected such a dramatic turn of events—while fighting, they actually became friends.
“Please convey my regards to the venerable Xian Yun,” Wei Yanqing continued. “Tell him the little beggar from Shi Men Jian sends his regards!”
Seeing how polite the other party was, Tian Cai and Tian Bao didn’t want to continue fighting. Since their mentor was also mentioned, they resolved their differences and replied respectfully.
Chu Tianyu was also relieved, glad he didn’t have to intervene. With so many people from the Demon Magic Sect, if a fight broke out, his two apprentices would surely suffer greatly, and even the disciples of the Heavenly Sound Sect wouldn’t be able to escape.
Just as everyone was relieved that the conflict had been peacefully resolved, suddenly three figures leaped out from the mountains on both sides, appearing in the middle like ghosts.
“Who are you?” The two sect leaders in charge of security shouted and attacked immediately, using their best techniques to capture them.

“Gaha, the little brat from Yunmen has finally shown up. Tell me, where has that old scoundrel Liu Xiangshi hidden himself?” It was an old man with a face as stiff as death. As he spoke, he conjured an illusionary figure, completely ignoring the attacks from the two leaders, passing through them while unleashing a storm of blood. In an instant, he appeared in front of the Tiancai Dibao brothers.

By the time everyone could see clearly, the old man already had two bloody, still-beating hearts in his hands. Chewing down on them as he spoke, with a “chirp,” blood splattered everywhere, causing everyone to feel nauseous. The disciples of Tianyinmen screamed in disgust and began vomiting violently.

Tiancai Dibao didn’t care about such things. Since this man dared to insult their master, they didn’t even bother greeting him and immediately unleashed a punch filled with combat energy.

The old man stuffed the half-chewed heart back into his mouth. With his other, equally stiff arm, he formed a circular energy shield without any visible aura fluctuations, blocking all of their attacks. With a muffled sound, he rushed forward again, transforming his palm into a fist. It was unclear what technique he used, but each punch landed firmly on Tiancai Dibao and the other brother…

This time, Tiancai Dibao truly suffered a loss. Judging from Chu Tianyu’s tone, they had learned a harsh lesson. Their bodies were sent flying simultaneously, crashing to the ground far away with a thud.

“Gaha, Yunmen is really getting worse generation after generation. Even a worthless guy like Liu Xiangshi can only produce such failures!” Instead of continuing his attacks after succeeding once, the old man stopped, as if speaking to someone.

“Oh, why not say you’re bullying the younger just because you’re older? At your age, all you know is to bully the younger. If you’ve got the guts, go tell that old scoundrel Xianyun the same thing!” A seductive, magnetic female voice rang out.

It was the flamboyantly dressed middle-aged woman who had appeared alongside the others.

The old man wasn’t angered by her sarcasm. Without even turning around, he said, “I found them first. If anyone dares to interfere, don’t blame my Beimin True Qi for not recognizing old friends!”

“Tch, with your meager abilities, one of us is enough, right, boss?” The middle-aged woman said in a coquettish tone, sending shivers down everyone’s spines who had just finished vomiting.

The old man seemed helpless against her and decided to ignore her, planning to press further on Tiancai Dibao and the other brother. But suddenly, he saw a blur in front of him. Upon closer inspection, there was another figure beside the two brothers, seemingly checking their energy flows.

This shocked him greatly—there was actually someone in the world who could appear before him without him even noticing, and still be an expert? This completely overturned his previous beliefs.
When he saw who it was, he became even more puzzled—it was just a ragged, bearded man from the mountains.
The man was Chu Tianyu. He was using his Xuanqing True Qi to quickly scan the meridians of Tiancai and Di Bao. Seeing that there were only fluctuations in their vital energy and more external injuries than internal ones, with no serious issues, he felt relieved.
As for Tiancai and Di Bao, they stared wide-eyed, feeling the familiar yet strange stranger who had been with them all along use his Xuanqing True Qi, a hundred times purer than theirs, to heal them. Their bodies felt warm and incredibly comfortable, but their minds were filled with doubts.
After finishing adjusting their energy, Chu Tianyu stood up with a cold expression, staring straight at the old man and the insolent couple. He said coldly, “To harm my fellow disciples is unforgivable; to insult my sect—such hearts deserve punishment!”
“Majestic dominance through the ages!” With these last four words uttered like thunderous roars, Chu Tianyu didn’t move a muscle or throw a punch. His powerful energy surged forth like a massive dragon punch wind…
This was exactly the effect Chu Tianyu wanted—to avenge his sect with an unyielding “majestic dominance” that left no one else in the picture!
