Chapter 5826: Lord of Power, Aguta
This individual stood at over twenty feet tall, towering like an iron tower. He wore a steel helmet covered in spikes, shrouding his entire head, with only a pair of sinister, beast-like eyes visible.
His shoulders, waist, knees, and elbows were all covered in specially crafted armor. His fists had spiked knuckles, and his steel boots had blades on both the front and back.
This was a giant armed to the teeth, and just looking at his attire sent shivers down one's spine.
His body was covered in black, snake-like patterns, dense and mysterious, running throughout his entire form, giving him an eerie appearance.
"Such a formidable blood energy. Is this a member of the Mageseye Water Lily clan?" Long Chen couldn't help but be astonished when he saw this man.
The aura of this guy didn't resemble a tree demon at all. Instead, it was more like a savage beast. The energy within him was like a volcano, and once it erupted, it could destroy heaven and earth.
This was a terrifying powerhouse, and his strength likely surpassed that of Lanyin. But what surprised Long Chen wasn't his strength; it was his origin.
"Mageseye Water Lily clan, Lord of Power, Aguta, has arrived!" The giant-like man stepped onto the arena and shouted loudly.
When Aguta spoke, it was like thunder, causing ripples in the void and even making the arena tremble slightly due to the force of his voice.
As Aguta spoke, the experts from the Undying Abyssal Willow clan had their expressions change slightly. This man's blood energy was terrifying to such an extent?
"It turns out to be a descendant of the Mageseye Water Lily and the Primitive Blood Demon. Not only did he inherit the magical patterns of the Mageseye Water Lily clan, but he also retained the blood of the Primitive Wilderness. The combination of the two has immeasurable power. No wonder he's so confident." A beautiful woman from the Undying Abyssal Willow clan looked at Aguta and nodded. She recognized his origin.
"Hybrid?"
"The Mageseye Water Lily clan actually accepts hybrids?"
"Are they insane? Once a hybrid awakens, the bloodline of the tree demons is often relegated to a supporting role, with both bloodline and willpower being suppressed, ultimately submitting to someone else. Don't they know that?" The experts from the Undying Abyssal Willow clan began discussing, each of them extremely shocked.
It should be noted that the term "hybrid" did not exist before the emergence of the Lord of the Nine Stars. It was the Lord of the Nine Stars who changed the rules of cultivation, and now, most races had to reach the realm of the Human Emperor and become humanoid.
After reaching the Human Emperor realm, they became easily susceptible to human emotions, which led to the breaking of reproductive barriers among various races. This outcome terrified numerous races. In order to preserve the purity of their bloodlines, they strictly forbade strong individuals within their clans from marrying outsiders and prohibited reproduction.
However, without reaching the Human Emperor realm, they couldn't attain higher levels of power. But once they became humanoids, they would inevitably be influenced by human emotions.
Human curiosity was the strongest of all, and even though many races feared the concept of hybrids, it also piqued their curiosity. Driven by curiosity, countless hybrid races emerged. Besides desire and curiosity, there was also something called "love" that developed between individuals from different races.
With the advent of "hybrid" races, the dual-edged sword's power gradually became evident. Some races grew more powerful due to hybridization, while others faced extinction.
The Fusion Beast Clan, familiar to Long Chen, was a product of that era. Later, most major races abhorred hybrids, especially the ancient and powerful higher races, which absolutely would not allow their bloodlines to be tainted.
If love across races occurred, it would be ruthlessly eradicated. However, mere suppression was ineffective. The Human Emperor realm was like a poison placed before all races. Even though they knew it was poisonous, they couldn't resist it.
When the races began to experience human emotions, everything started to spiral out of control. As the ages passed, the term "hybrid" gradually gained acceptance.
However, among all the races, hybrids were mostly accepted only if they were of the same branch. For instance, hybrids within the Undying lineages or even broader, those between the Plant and Beast lineages, were barely tolerated.
Hybrids between the Plant and Animal lineages were unacceptable because it was considered an unfair kind of hybridization. The Plant lineage's power would be suppressed and subjugated, becoming subservient to the bloodline power of the Animal lineage. This was unfair to the Plant lineage and unacceptable because it meant that their bloodline was being exploited for the benefit of another, which was detrimental to them.
Thus, the beings of the Plant lineage would never marry or reproduce with the creatures of the Animal lineage or other flesh-and-blood lineages.
When the Undying Abyssal Willow clan's experts learned of Aguta's origin, they were both surprised and angry. The Mageseye Water Lily clan had essentially broken the rules of the Plant lineage, and it was a disgrace to the Plant lineage.
"The era is changing, and so is the Heavenly Dao. If you stick to old ways of thinking without adapting, you'll only be mercilessly eliminated. The Mageseye Water Lily clan isn't dwelling in past glory but constantly seeking ways to become stronger. I, Lord of Power Aguta, am just one of the countless hybrids. Now, the Mageseye Water Lily clan's hybrid army is far beyond what you can imagine. It's ridiculous that you all still wear expressions of superiority and disdain."
Upon hearing Aguta mention countless hybrids, the beautiful woman's expression changed slightly. This meant that the Mageseye Water Lily clan's hybridization had started a long time ago. And, considering the quantity of hybrids, it was clear that there was not just one kind of hybridization.
Although the reproductive barriers among the races had been broken due to changes in the laws of the world, cross-racial reproduction was still thousands of times more challenging than reproduction within the same race. If the Mageseye Water Lily clan had as many hybrids as Aguta claimed, it indicated that they might have started their experiments during the chaotic era.
The ambitions of the Mageseye Water Lily clan were immense, and their determination was astonishing. They dared to engage in large-scale hybridization without fear of their race's extinction. Or perhaps, they had discovered a special method to control these hybrid beings.
"Suddenly," Aguta produced a diamond club in his hand. The club was thick at the top and thinner at the bottom, resembling a water bucket. He slammed it onto the arena, creating a loud noise and punching a massive hole in the platform.
Witnessing this scene, countless experts couldn't help but inhale sharply. The man's strength was truly terrifying.
"What's the matter? Are none of the Undying clan members willing to step forward for a battle? Is no one brave enough?" Aguta stood proudly, looking around with a disdainful expression.
"Let me..."
Seeing Aguta's terrifying display, Huai Yushan was about to stand up, but just as she made a move, Long Chen's voice sounded in her ears: "Don't move. You're in the third round!"
