This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder-Chapter 81: Dao Debate

Zhang Cuiying, Eternal Night Emperor, and the Cloud Goddess all disappeared into the void. Upon seeing this, the fighting between the Immortals began to intensify.

Immortal Monarchs and True Immortals who had been watching from the sideline all started to take action. Even Monarch Yonderheart, who had retreated after being thwarted by Monarch Warpath, felt his hands grow itchy.

But at the instant, the area surrounding the Sovereign Nine Yin lotus became dark like it was night. The white clouds within created a stark contrast against the blackness. And all the Immortals within the area all froze as if they had become still figures in a painting.

From the clouds, lighting descended and struck all the Immortal within the area within the "night." Afterward, the night, the clouds, and the suffocating feeling disappeared as if it had never happened in the first place.

But the Immortals who had been struck by lightning all retreated. Their skin was charred and burned, their armor and clothing in rags, and blood continuously leaked from their mouth and wounds. No one dared to think that it was all an illusion.

But while the True Immortals left to treat their wounds. The Immortal Monarchs all had their own methods and immediately started to heal themselves. Although their injuries seemed serious, it was nothing to people of their rank as the attack was meant as a warning. They all stayed behind in the hope that while all the Immortal Emperor level experts fought, they may have a chance to snatch the prize.

A few Immortal Monarchs glanced over at the resting Mengfei. Her lack of movement and complete ease made her stand out against the chaotic battlefield, but no one dared to near her. The warning from earlier was still fresh in their minds.

Outside in the Vast Void, the three Immortal Emperor level experts stared at each other, and a tense silence descended.

A three-way standoff was occurring.

Logically speaking, Zhang Cuiying and the Cloud Goddess should team up against the Eternal Night Emperor since both of them originated from the Heaven Continent.

While this may hold true for those at the Immortal Monarch level and below, but for Immortal Emperor level experts, instead of considering which continent they originated from, they saw the whole Huang Realm as one place instead of being separated into three or four territories. So to have Immortal Emperors team up based on being from the same continent was foolhardy.

At the same time, the Cloud Goddess and Zhang Cuiying were even in a slightly hostile relationship according to the politics of the Heaven Continent. The Cloud Goddess should be more inclined to allow Eternal Night Emperor to attain the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus than Zhang Cuiying.

At the same time, the Eternal Night Emperor and the Cloud Goddess should be wary of Mengfei, who was still in the Huang Realm doing nothing. If either one teamed up against the other with Zhang Cuiying, when Mengfei came, they would face a two against one situation.

"Allowing a limitless fight between us will benefit no one." Zhang Cuiying was the first to speak.

"Indeed, the Eight Pillars Sect will probably hope for such a thing to happen." Eternal Night Emperor said.

The Cloud Goddess said nothing but her silence was her consent.

"Then what do you propose we do? I hope you aren't suggesting we offer it up to you." Eternal Night Monarch said. He was smiling, but there was nothing in his smile that said he would assent to such an action.

"Of course not. We will not compete with our strength but with our Dao." Zhang Cuiying said as she sat in a lotus position. "Each of us will bring out a technique or treasure. Whoever can make the other two acknowledge their mastery will win."

"Instead of a fight, we conduct a Dao Debate instead." Eternal Night Monarch said. "Very well, I agree. It will be my honor to debate the Dao with a Grand Elder of the Immortal Buzhou Sect and the only Divinity of the Huang Realm."

The Cloud Goddess hesitated before sighing. She also agreed. Eternal Night Emperor followed Zhang Cuiying's example and sat in a lotus position while the Cloud Goddess lay on her side.

"Since I suggested this, I'll go first." Zhang Cuiying pulled out a scroll from her spatial ring. She unfurled it and revealed a painting of a mountain with great spirituality. "This is a treasure I recently forged; please advise."

Eternal Night Emperor caught the painting that Zhang Cuiying had thrown over and inspected. The two others stayed silent as they allowed Eternal Night Emperor to examine the mountain painting scroll.

"Impressive." Eternal Night Emperor said finally. "Empress Voidink, all Daos lead to the same path. This treasure forged by you exemplifies it. Although it is created from the Dao of Painting, the effects resembled the Dao of Spacetime and allowed you to forge a minor world. Not just spacetime, but other many Daos including the Five Elements."

Eternal Night Emperor then threw the mountain painting scroll towards the Cloud Goddess. She caught it and also began to examine the treasure.

After inspecting it, she also spoke. "Although it is a minor world and the space is greater than most, there is no Dao at its core. No life will originate from here, and no Heavenly Tribulations can occur here. But for the Dao of Painting to reach such a degree is impressive and eye-opening. My horizons have been expanded."

The mountain painting scroll returned to Zhang Cuiying.

Before the next person could show off their next technique or treasure, Eternal Night Emperor waved his hand, and a bubble created from the night surrounded and cut them off from the rest of the void.

There was no intent to attack from the technique, so Zhang Cuiying or the Cloud Goddess did not do anything to stop Eternal Night Emperor.

"My apologies," Eternal Night Emperor said. "I felt someone scrying us and moved to block them."

"The Night Shroud is impressive as always. If I had not seen it formed, I would not have been able to discern it so easily." Zhang Cuiying praised.

"Just a paltry trick, nothing that can be used to compete." Eternal Night Emperor said. "Cloud Goddess, how about you go next?"

The Cloud Goddess nodded and followed the Eternal Night Emperor's, the eldest among them, suggestion. From her sleeve, a dense purple cloud with a golden glow materialized.

"East Originating Purple Qi Auspicious Cloud." The cloud expanded, and until it enveloped both Zhang Cuiying and Eternal night Emperor.

"Just from being in touch with it, I can sense my Karmic Virtue increasing. This...?" As Zhang Cuiying spoke, she stopped as she realized the true effects of the cloud.

"Luck altering Fate." Eternal Night Emperor said. "The holder of this cloud can even fool the Heavenly Dao and cause the Heavenly Dao to favor them heavily. Increased chance of pill concoction, greater benefits from Heavenly Tribulation, and a general increase in lucky encounters. The benefits will even increase the longer the user holds onto this. Not just the user, but the people close will also be affected."

Zhang Cuiying gave the Cloud Goddess a deep look. She hadn't realized that the Cloud Goddess's had such a deep foundation in the Dao of Clouds. As one in the know of how the Cloud Goddess attained Divinity, Zhang Cuiying subconsciously lowered her opinion of the Cloud Goddess.

The two Immortal Emperors examined it some and more spoke, debating the pros and cons. Soon the Cloud Goddess retracted her East Originating Purple Qi Auspicious Clouds.

Next Eternal Night Emperor didn't take out a treasure and instead held out his hand. A piece of the void was separated into a sphere above his hand. Before the eyes of the other two, the space within the sphere began to change. Time began to revert until the Vast Void within the sphere was no longer the Vast Void but the Primordial Void.

"Eon Reversion Art." Eternal Night Emperor smiled and said. "My technique does not mimic the effect of the other Dao but goes to the extreme. It is even capable of reverting the time within an area back to the Primordial Era."

Within the Huang Realm in the Northern Region of the Heaven Continent, the battle continued to grow more chaotic. Weeks had already passed. The True Immortals had long retreated, and only Immortal Monarchs remained. Although the participants had lessened, the intensity had only increased.

Monarch Warpath still raged in the battle against another Immortal Monarch. His aura and immortal qi had decreased, but his ferocity had only increased. Just as he was charging up a killer move against his trapped opponent, he stopped and glared at where the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus was.

"WHAT GALL!!!" He bellowed out in extreme rage and punched towards the area. An illusionary giant, the size of a mountain, appeared above him and punched.

This was the War Manifestation technique of Monarch Warpath.

At where the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus was, an ordinary-looking Immortal Monarch had successfully evaded all detection from the other Immortal Monarchs and reached the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus. He ignored the pressure from Monarch Warpath's War Manifestation and uprooted the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus.
