The Skylink Monarch paused after saying this. Taking a glance at him, he spoke again, "He was no match for Feng Jiu back then, and even less so now. So, why bother looking for him?"
To be honest, as a monarch of his own domain, respected for having a territory, he felt it was beneath him to join forces with the Demon Lord. What's more, he didn't believe that the other party's strength had improved in recent years to the point where Feng Jiu would be wary of him. Since the person was useless, what value would he bring by seeking him out?
"You just need to find him for . Whether he's useful or not, I'll determine that," the Black Lotus Monarch replied. His words were extrely arrogant, clearly not giving much importance to Skylink Monarch.
Skylink Monarch's face turned gloomy when he heard this. He glanced at the Master of the Black Lotus and sneered, "Black Lotus Monarch is very bold. Do you regard as one of your subordinates, obligated to carry out your orders?"
As the mighty, long-reigned monarch of his own domain, he would not tolerate a newly advanced Divine King ordering him around. If he agreed with him now, wouldn't he have to listen to him and do what he says in the future? How could he keep his honour?
The Black Lotus Monarch revealed a cold smile, his sharp, sword-like gaze resting on him. "I have never experienced Skylink Monarch's actual strength yet. Why don't we spar a little?"
Hearing this, surprise flashed in Skylink Monarch's eyes. Was this new Divine King actually challenging him? Did he believe he was superior?
He swept a probing gaze over the Black Lotus Monarch but figured out nothing. However, he was aware that they were both Divine King Strong Exponents with no prior friendships. Their only connection was their shared interest in dealing with Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze. They would undoubtedly need to collaborate in the future, so one of them would eventually have to defer to the other. Otherwise, such disputes would beco commonplace.
After contemplating for a mont, Skylink Monarch stood up. "Very well! I also want to learn from Black Lotus Monarch!" He wanted to see for himself what this man was capable of.
"Please!" Black Lotus Monarch rose to his feet, extending his hand in an inviting gesture.
When Skylink Monarch saw this, he walked outside with his hands behind his back. Black Lotus Monarch did the sa followed suit. As soon as they stepped outside, the cultivators around them moved out of the way. But when they thought their Master was going to send Skylink Monarch off, they heard their Master's voice.
"Everyone, stand back. I wish to spar with Skylink Monarch."
Hearing this, the group of black-robed cultivators exchanged glances. Spar with Skylink Monarch? Would their Master win? Even though they had doubts, they cleared a wide path for their master.
In a spar between Divine King Strong Exponents, the sheer pressure could force them to kneel, thus they dared not stay within its reach.
Skylink Monarch and Black Lotus Monarch moved to the middle of the wide-open area that had been cleared. As the aura on their bodies surged, their figures swept out like lightning the next mont. The air currents they whipped up in the sky were as sharp and terrifying as blades.
"Whoosh!"
"Swish!"
Wind and sand swirled around the two figures as they twisted and turned in a blur of motion. As they fought, the mighty air currents and pressure perated the air, releasing a terrifying killing intent that swept across the surroundings. Even the ferocious beasts within the nearby forest, sensing this overwhelming aura, sought refuge and hid.
