Killing two Heavenly Kings right from the start had gone unimaginably smoothly.
The four Heavenly Kings were pinned down by the Hundred Battles King. At this moment, King Dazhou, Marquis Huoyun, and the others were actually suppressing their opponents. King Dazhou and Marquis Huoyun were each strong enough to handle one Heavenly King on their own, while the rest joined forces against the remaining two, gradually encircling them!
"Hahaha!"
The Hundred Battles King roared with wild laughter!
His projection was almost materializing; two of the six chains binding him were already broken.
The remaining four had to fend off King Dazhou and the others.
The Hundred Battles King felt that he could finally break free.
Roaring, bellowing, venting all his pent-up fury, he shouted, "Kill them! Kill another one or two, and this king can break the seal! Slaughter all these beasts!"
After waiting for six thousand years, he finally saw hope.
This rescue party was very strong—among them were two quasi-kings, which surprised even the Hundred Battles King...
He roared!
The heavens and earth shook!
The massive mountain violently trembled, countless boulders burst apart, and a faint wisp of aura began to leak out.
Daoyu, currently locked in combat with Su Yu, had a drastic change of expression.
Losing two Heavenly Kings in the blink of an eye was completely outside his expectations.
Too fast!
Where on earth did these bastards come from?
If another one or two died, the Hundred Battles King truly might break the seal and escape.
Once the Hundred Battles King got out... who could match him?
"Damn it!" Heavenly King Daoyu cursed vehemently.
Eight quasi-kings were stationed here, yet an enemy force had breached their defenses. He couldn't accept this. Did the human race in the myriad realms still possess such strength to rescue the Hundred Battles King?
Just how many experts were hiding in Mount Chaos?
Though he could suppress Su Yu in their clash...
How could a fight between Heavenly Kings be decided in terms of victory, defeat, life, or death so easily?
It was true that the fellow before him wasn't as strong as he was, but taking him down was by no means simple.
The harder the Hundred Battles King struggled, the more power the four Heavenly Kings had to expend to suppress him.
Originally, they could have fought evenly, but now, the four Heavenly Kings were being suppressed by King Dazhou and the rest!
The four gradually drew closer together.
They had no choice but to group up!
Clustered together, they still had hope. Scattered apart, they might be isolated and overwhelmed by these attackers.
Their Great Dao powers trembled violently.
Below, the Hundred Battles King thrashed maniacally.
Cooped up for countless years, he had been driven half-mad. Seeing an opportunity, he was utterly merciless, constantly snapping the chains binding his body. Though the chains continually regenerated, each rebirth consumed the Great Dao power of the four powerhouses.
……
Su Yu, battling Daoyu, showed a barely perceptible flicker of joy in his eyes.
The encirclement was complete!
Now, as long as he suppressed these four Heavenly Kings, their power would instantly plummet. In a flash, the deadlock would be broken, and they would swiftly be slaughtered—completing the operation!
As for the Hundred Battles King... based on the current situation, there was a real chance he could break the seal and flee.
Provided that the fool ran immediately instead of sticking around like an idiot to fight the various powerhouses. Otherwise, he'd still end up getting beaten to death!
Killing six Heavenly Kings was enough!
If luck was on their side, they might encircle and kill Daoyu and Xuemo; if not, leaving them alive was fine too. Su Yu wasn't fixated on a specific body count this time.
Just as Su Yu was about to deploy the little stone to suppress the four Heavenly Kings...
Across from him, Daoyu grew anxious—a panic laced with furious indignation.
Those four were on the verge of collapsing!
"Do you really think this is your Mount Chaos, where you can come and go as you please?" Daoyu bellowed. In the next breath, he roared, "Xuemo!"
Behind them, Xuemo, who had been locked in a tempestuous battle against Lan Tian, had also created countless clones.
Yes, just as Lan Tian used clones, this guy did too.
Countless Xuemos and countless Lan Tians fought in the void.
Hearing Daoyu's shout, Xuemo gave a cold chuckle. "Should've done this long ago. But both of us... will probably have to face reprimand for this!"
"Cut the crap!" Daoyu roared. At this point, how could he care about reprimands?
At the start, neither of them had expected to lose so quickly.
Nor had they anticipated that two of the six Heavenly Kings would die just like that. They had thought they could handle the attackers themselves.
Xuemo sneered and said no more.
The next instant, dozens of Xuemo clones merged together and abruptly detonated!
With blinding speed!
Several of Lan Tian's clones were blown to pieces by the self-destructing blood demons.
The detonated Xuemo clones released a pervasive mist of blood.
Daoyu, meanwhile, swiftly fell back from Su Yu.
Su Yu's expression shifted slightly.
What was going on?
A divine character suddenly emerged from Daoyu's hand. Immensely powerful, it instantly plummeted into the blood mist.
The surging blood mist instantly solidified!
Gradually, ripples of spatial fluctuations radiated outward.
In the distance, King Dazhou's face drained of color as he shouted, "Retreat! It's a Blood Dao teleportation portal, retreat quickly!"
Though Su Yu didn't fully comprehend the portal's specifics, he could feel the spatial fluctuations.
Combined with King Dazhou's warning, he quickly guessed what was happening.
Sure enough, Daoyu stopped retreating and immediately pressed forward, sneering coldly, "A bunch of death-seeking bastards! You came once several thousand years ago and managed to flee, yet you dare return!"
"This isn't your turf!"
He was infuriated!
As the leaders among the eight, he and Xuemo would certainly be held accountable today.
Even if they killed these intruders, they might still be punished.
Now, their best outcome was to detain every single one of these bastards—not letting a single one escape.
In the distance, the blood mist rapidly formed a gateway.
And the gateway slowly swung open.
As if reaching far into the distance, opening a spatial portal for a certain existence.
The blood mist coalesced into a gate, and from the other side came an ancient, weathered query: "Is my intervention required?"
Xuemo immediately bellowed, "We request Brother Dao's awakening!"
"Very well... wait for me a moment."
A monstrous demonic qi surged through the gateway.
This portal seemed connected to a supreme powerhouse of the Demonic Dao.
Su Yu felt a chill!
His Heavenly Gate snapped open!
Peering through the portal, his gaze seemed to stretch across immense distance. Then, Su Yu's expression changed slightly, and he looked down beneath the earth.
Fuck!
A slumbering, top-tier supreme powerhouse!
He was... right beneath Sealing Mountain!
Su Yu hadn't noticed him earlier because the being had severed his connection to the Great Dao, entering absolute dormancy. Now that Sealing Mountain was destabilized, Xuemo and Daoyu were rousing him.
"Ten seconds!"
Su Yu was startled, but not panicked.
A supreme powerhouse who hadn't fully awakened yet!
Awakening took time.
That was why the figure had said to wait a moment.
From waking up, reconnecting to the Great Dao, to stepping out, it would probably take around ten seconds.
These thoughts flashed through Su Yu's mind in an instant.
The next second, a little stone shot straight toward King Dazhou and the others.
King Dazhou was intensely nervous, roaring repeatedly. Sensing that demonic aura, he cried out in terror, "It's the aura of Marquis Motian! He's not dead!"
Not only did he recognize it, but the other ancient experts did as well.
Marquis Huoyun and the others paled.
That old bastard had disappeared many years ago; they had assumed he was long dead, never imagining he was still alive, merely in deep slumber.
At this moment, demonic qi churned across the entirety of Sealing Mountain!
The roaring Hundred Battles King also changed color. The next instant, he bellowed, "Hurry! Kill these bastards! Once I break the seal, I'll slay this Motian!"
He was anxious!
He wasn't familiar with Marquis Motian and had never fought him, but he could sense the aura—definitely a top-tier quasi-king.
Yet after shouting, a sense of helplessness and despair washed over him.
It was over!
There wasn't enough time!
These people couldn't kill the four quasi-kings in time. Even if they had the upper hand, time had run out.
The Hundred Battles King was consumed with rage!
A bastard was sleeping right beneath him!
For all these years, he hadn't known!
……
On Su Yu's end, Daoyu pressed down relentlessly, roaring at the same time, "Hold them back!"
Now, the tables had turned—they were the ones trying to stall Su Yu and his allies.
Marquis Motian would emerge any second!
The reason they had chosen to place the seal here in the first place was because a formidable being slept below. Several thousand years ago, before they could deploy him, that earlier intruder had already fled.
Fleeing once wasn't enough—they dared return a second time?
Three seconds!
Su Yu swiftly evaluated and counted: three seconds had elapsed.
"Suppress!"
A thunderous roar—the signal.
"Kill!"
King Dazhou, who had been shouting about retreating, instantly burned his blood essence and bellowed. Pushing his Dao of Endurance to its absolute limit, he caused the movements of the four Heavenly Kings to visibly stutter!
Sky-scorching flames erupted simultaneously!
General Yingwu and the others erupted in unison, throwing everything into the strike with reckless abandon.
Initially, everyone had yelled to pull back, but Su Yu hadn't given the order, and they recalled his prior warning that only he commanded the battlefield. In the end, these ancient marquises chose to obey Su Yu.
The four Heavenly Kings had already been considerably weakened.
The burst of the Dao of Endurance caused them to freeze momentarily.
That brief pause alone wouldn't have been lethal.
The critical factor was the little stone. A terrifying suppressive force suddenly surged from it, seemingly originating from the same root as their Great Daos. The stone expanded millions of times over, crashing down to suppress them!
Like a colossal mountain descending!
Under normal circumstances, severed connections to four Great Daos were impossible. Yet when this stone enlarged and bore down, it severed the link between them and their Daos in an instant—the connection seemed severed!
In ordinary times, a momentary disconnection was harmless.
But in a life-or-death battle, disaster struck!
The expressions of all four Heavenly Kings warped wildly as their auras plummeted.
The suppression effect was even more terrifying than Su Yu had anticipated!
Originally possessing top-tier Dao Integration combat power, in the blink of an eye, their auras plunged to third-class, fourth-class, and even fifth-class Dao Integration, and they were still falling!
Given time, they might have wrested back some control over their Daos.
But right now, where could they find control? Where would they find the time!
Boom!
Everyone's attacks landed simultaneously!
A world-shaking detonation reverberated through the realm.
The faces of the four Heavenly Kings were etched with disbelief, despair, and shock.
An ancient Heavenly King, rotted beyond recognition, suddenly roared in fury, "No! The Great Dao severed... switching Daos... it's a conspiracy..."
Boom!
Before his sentence finished, he was blasted into smithereens!
In his dying breath, he realized the truth!
You couldn't switch Daos.
There was something wrong with these Daos.
The four of them had their connections severed almost instantaneously. For top powerhouses, that should have been virtually impossible—unless the Daos themselves were flawed.
Daoyu, locked in battle with Su Yu, trembled violently!
Utterly bewildered and shocked!
What just happened?
The four Heavenly Kings' auras had plummeted to rock bottom in the blink of an eye, and immediately afterward, they were obliterated on the spot by the combined might of King Dazhou and the others!
Four top-tier beings had been slaughtered with such ease that it felt no more difficult than killing a few top Eternals!
Eight seconds!
Su Yu, counting the seconds, immediately shouted, "Hundred Battles King, break your seal and strike downward! Intercept that man!"
The Hundred Battles King was also violently shaken!
The chains binding him suddenly snapped completely.
Only the final chain remained—not belonging to those six, but a seal left behind by the Prison King's lineage, the ultimate binding.
At this moment, the six external Great Daos were completely shattered!
The Hundred Battles King was truly stunned. Still bound moments ago, he had already given up hope, never anticipating such a drastic reversal.
Hearing Su Yu's voice—the voice of that quasi-king—he cast aside all hesitation!
I... seem to be able to break free!
He burst into wild laughter. Boom!
Boundlessly terrifying aura!
A monstrous presence erupted, piercing directly through the clouds as Sealing Mountain blew apart with an earth-shattering boom!
The perimeter formation was instantly shattered by him!
King Daming, who had been maintaining the array, coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking on helplessly.
A staggering aura erupted from this place!
The formation had been breached!
When Hundred Battles unleashed his full might, how could King Daming hold him back?
"Hahaha!"
Wild laughter echoed out as the Hundred Battles King exulted, "Insignificant trash, you dare sleep in the same ground as this king?!"
Boom!
The Hundred Battles King threw a punch straight downward!
Boom!
The entire mountain exploded completely!
A column of blood-qi shot into the heavens.
Even with the final seal remaining, Hundred Battles was peerlessly mighty. That single fist tore an abyss into the earth. Deep within the chasm, a demonic powerhouse who had just awakened and was about to step into the teleportation portal hesitated.
He had planned to teleport up, but Sealing Mountain had been completely demolished by Hundred Battles' fist!
The newly awakened Marquis Motian faced the newly freed Hundred Battles King!
Marquis Motian appeared ancient beyond measure. Sensing the fluctuating aura, he looked at the Hundred Battles King and chuckled faintly. "You truly broke the seal... What a pity the final seal remains intact... Hundred Battles... I know of you, though I've never crossed hands with you..."
"Too much crap, die!"
Boom!
The Hundred Battles King's physical body broke through the void, punching out with power that made the heavens and earth change color!
Even without fully breaking the seal, he was a top-tier entity.
With this punch, Marquis Motian below fully shook off any remaining grogginess from his slumber, his eyes turning grave.
What a formidable Hundred Battles!
A long spear manifested in his hand, sweeping out and shattering the void!
In an instant, the two clashed!
Terrifyingly fast!
The earth below collapsed from their blows. Hundred Battles hammered down from above, carving out a crater ten thousand meters deep in the blink of an eye!
The Hundred Battles King laughed maniacally, shouting, "This king is free! Kill those two bugs up there! Once I butcher this old bastard, I'll slaughter to my heart's content!"
Meanwhile, King Dazhou paid him no heed. Having killed the Heavenly Kings, the group swiftly flew toward Su Yu.
Today, Su Yu's word was law!
Su Yu didn't care about Hundred Battles either.
Idiot!
Keep playing if you want, but I have no interest in babysitting you. What does killing a few Heavenly Kings accomplish?
Just a little entertainment!
Opening his Heavenly Gate, Su Yu scanned the surroundings.
Soon, he spotted seven or eight Dao Integration auras rapidly closing in. They weren't frightening, nor did Su Yu fear them.
Scanning further, his heart leaped.
As expected!
The commotion from Hundred Battles' release was too immense. Two extraordinarily powerful Great Dao forces he had observed earlier were rushing over at high speed.
One was the expert on the mountain he had spotted first.
The other was the overbearing powerhouse stationed above the great river.
Both were heading this way.
Meanwhile, Marquis Tianming's Great Dao rippled as if tempted to come, but ultimately held back and didn't move.
San Yue's Dao also fluctuated, seemingly hesitating, before moving toward them. Clearly, San Yue had sensed Hundred Battles breaking free and, after consideration, chose to come.
Furthermore, as Su Yu checked, another Great Dao surged into motion, heading this way.
That was one Su Yu hadn't noticed earlier—the one buried beneath the earth.
Five peerless powerhouses!
Aside from Marquis Tianming, four were rushing over at top speed.
Before they arrived, a voice boomed across the distance:
"Motian, pin him down!"
Cold and commanding, an expert transmitted the message!
Pin Hundred Battles down!
Don't let him escape!
Hundred Battles, locked in combat, grimaced slightly. Damn it!
Those bastards were all nearby!
He wanted to retreat, but Motian below burst into loud laughter. Demonic qi rose sky-high as he launched an immediate counterattack!
Motian was also a top-tier existence.
The partially sealed Hundred Battles King could only barely suppress him—a testament to Hundred Battles' terrifying strength, but suppression was all he could manage.
Pushed back by the counterattack, he was utterly unable to disengage.
Meanwhile, Daoyu and Xuemo converged on Su Yu's side.
Both were pale.
Vacillating between shock and relief.
On one hand, they were horrified that six Heavenly Kings were dead and that Hundred Battles had broken out; on the other, they were relieved that this was their territory after all, and those reclusive figures who had ignored worldly affairs for years were finally mobilizing!
All of them were rapidly arriving!
King Dazhou and the others hurried over, tension written on their faces.
There wasn't much joy!
Though they had slain six Heavenly Kings, even more experts were converging.
Extremely tense!
Everyone looked toward Su Yu. What now?
Flee?
If they didn't flee now, it would be too late!
Killing this many was already enough.
As for Hundred Battles... tough luck, they couldn't babysit him.
"Thirty seconds!"
Su Yu observed the Great Daos and their speeds. The fastest was the one emerging from the earth—he could reach them within thirty seconds.
Daoyu and Xuemo wouldn't be easy to kill.
Turning his head toward Hundred Battles below, Su Yu's eyes narrowed. The next moment, he bellowed, "Hundred Battles King! Lady Yueluo awaits your return, withdraw immediately!"
"Yueluo?"
"Roar!"
Abruptly, the Hundred Battles King let out a beast-like roar. The sudden explosion of ferocity battered Marquis Motian backward, making him vomit blood continuously!
Hundred Battles' eyes were blood-red, as if driven mad!
Yueluo!
These people were sent by Yueluo?
No!
He recognized Marquis Dingjun and the others. Could it be that Marquis Dingjun and the rest had also been recruited by Yueluo?
"Yueluo sent you?!" he roared in fury and madness.
These people were sent by Yueluo?
Yet Su Yu ignored him.
Go mad, all the better!
"Form the array!" Su Yu barked.
King Daming, still coughing blood, set up another formation without a word.
When this array appeared, the Hundred Battles King seemed to recognize it and roared furiously, "You really were sent by her! Dingjun, you betrayed this king too?!"
Marquis Dingjun cursed internally!
Have you lost your mind?
Who betrayed you!
I don't even know what's going on—didn't we just break you out?
Why the hell are you picking a fight with me!
He didn't have time to ponder. King Daming had already laid down the array, this time sealing off the area around Su Yu and the two Heavenly Kings. King Daming understood Su Yu's intention: the array was meant to trap these two!
Both Daoyu and Xuemo were shocked!
Daoyu, stunned and furious, roared, "Are you insane? Do you want to die?"
Several supreme powerhouses were arriving!
It was already generous that Daoyu hadn't blocked their escape, yet these people actually wanted to fight them?
Completely insane!
Do you think we're that easy to deal with?
Within moments, those top beings would arrive.
By Daoyu's logic, these people should be fleeing for their lives right now.
Su Yu ignored them completely. Seeing Su Yu's resolve, the others grasped his plan. King Dazhou was terrified—Su Yu still wanted to kill these two?
Would they still have time to escape?
Despite his fear, he knew that on this battlefield, only obeying Su Yu gave them a chance at victory!
A ruthless glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes!
Suddenly, the civilization chronicle manifested.
This time, he didn't unseal Princess Consort Xi; instead, he directly ripped the book cover off!
This cover... he didn't need it anymore!
He could forge another one later!
Not just the cover—the Holy Transformation Seal appeared in that very instant.
That was the true supreme treasure.
Left behind by King Wen specifically to deal with the Martial Emperor.
And who was the Martial Emperor?
A Ruler of Rules!
Su Yu immediately produced the Holy Transformation Seal and hurled it at the two Heavenly Kings.
"Kill!" Su Yu bellowed!
A burst of sacred Dao power erupted from the Holy Transformation Seal. A grand voice seemed to resonate through the void: "Submit!"
It sounded like King Wen's voice!
Suppressing all creation!
Daoyu and Xuemo were on high alert, burning blood essence without hesitation. They had planned to clash fiercely if Su Yu attacked, stalling until the other supreme experts arrived.
But the moment that thought formed, their eyes turned dazed.
Submit!
Yes, submit.
Only that thought remained.
We must submit!
Beside Su Yu, King Dazhou and the others struck with lightning speed. King Dazhou pushed his Dao of Endurance to its absolute limit, plunging the two top powerhouses into deep stupor.
The two experts were reduced to purely instinctive reactions.
Su Yu waved his hand, and the little stone crashed down!
Everything happened at breathtaking speed.
However, these were two true-Dao Heavenly Kings. Even in a daze, instinctive counterattacks triggered when attacked. If struck too severely, they might even snap awake.
The cover of the civilization chronicle had already been torn off by Su Yu.
The large characters inscribed upon it were erased by Su Yu as well.
……
Inside, Princess Consort Xi sensed something amiss.
The spatial suppression around her seemed to have loosened significantly.
And she could feel her sealed Great Dao power again.
Princess Consort Xi felt a mixture of astonishment and curiosity.
Did my kin come to rescue me?
So soon!
Even if they descended to the lower realm, it should take time and opportunity!
But soon, her expression shifted. Her Great Dao power was fluctuating too wildly. Su Yu had sealed her for so long; had he tampered with her Dao?
Very likely!
That brat had opened the Heavenly Gate, making it easy to track her Great Dao power.
While Princess Consort Xi was hesitating whether to break the seal now, an immense detonating force surged over!
Her face twisted in terror!
Damn it!
Does Su Yu want to die together with me?
Is he trying to kill me?
"Break!"
She could no longer care. With such a rare opportunity, breaking out was the only priority!
Outside, Su Yu flung the severed book cover toward the two Heavenly Kings. Simultaneously, packing immense offensive power, the Brush Dao manifested—turning brush into blade as he slashed out with a low growl!
One blade to cut three!
Daoyu and Xuemo sensed the impending doom. Lan Tian and the others simultaneously unleashed their strongest attacks!
Xuemo and Daoyu abruptly snapped out of their stupor!
Looking at the flying book cover, their expressions warped.
They immediately recalled what happened earlier—Marquis Zhennan!
Yes, they sensed it too: someone was inside that cover, and extremely powerful!
Just like before, whoever came out of this thing was going to self-detonate! The sight of that previous Heavenly King being blown apart still lingered vividly in their minds!
Daoyu let out a furious roar, shaking off the lingering influence of the Holy Transformation Seal!
"Kill! Don't let them self-detonate!"
Daoyu roared frantically at Xuemo. They had seen this trick once; they could not give the person inside the chance to self-destruct.
This organization was terrifyingly ruthless!
Marquis Zhennan had blown himself up without a second thought, and this one would be no different!
Casting aside all caution, Xuemo and Daoyu poured everything into a single strike aimed directly at the book cover!
The cover shattered. The instant Princess Consort Xi emerged, her face turned pale with horror!
Two Heavenly King-level experts were throwing their full-power attacks right at her!
Without giving her a fraction of a second!
No time to explain, no time to think, no time to flee.
She had only one choice!
Kill!
Block this attack!
Princess Consort Xi fought desperately. Her original physical body had already been blown apart, leaving her current flesh extremely fragile, but her Great Dao power remained. Her Dao surged, unleashing an overwhelming presence laced with formidable sealing power!
She wanted to seal these two bastards!
Boom!
The instant her power rose, their attacks landed. With a deafening boom, her fragile physical body was blasted to pieces, reduced to ashes!
Her Great Dao violently convulsed!
Yet in the final moment, her sealing power descended nonetheless!
Daoyu and Xuemo were instantly locked by the powerful sealing force, and at that exact moment, Su Yu and the others' attacks arrived in full!
Everyone went all out!
Su Yu roared at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing through the heavens:
"Lady Ziyan!"
Blasted to pieces with her sea of will on the brink of collapse, Ziyan was dazed.
Who is calling me?
Oh, Su Yu!
What did that beast call me?
'Lady'?
Ridiculous fool!
Does he want to surrender?
And where am I?
Who were those two Heavenly Kings I just encountered?
They seem familiar... Why did they attack me?
Countless thoughts swirled, while Su Yu's anguished roar rang out again:
"Lady Ziyan has sacrificed herself for our Chaos race! Kill them! Avenge her!"
"For the grand cause of our Chaos race, kill!"
Rrrrrumble!
Waves of terrifying attacks crashed down!
Daoyu and Xuemo had first been suppressed by the Holy Transformation Seal, then bound by Ziyan's Great Dao power. Having just expended immense rule power on their full-strength blow without time to recover, the ambient rule power was further suppressed by the little stone.
Seeing Su Yu and the others attacking with frenzied madness to avenge that woman, both Heavenly Kings were filled with despair and bitterness.
Didn't that woman try to blow herself up?
We didn't force her to self-destruct!
If we hadn't attacked, and she blew up, wouldn't we be dead meat?
Meeting each other's gaze, both saw despair and unrelenting hatred. Fine, if you won't let us live, then... we'll all die together!
They saw that the woman's sea of will hadn't completely shattered yet!
A ruthless streak flared in their hearts!
You think only you can self-detonate?
We can do it too!
This Chaos race was simply too vicious—their top experts threw their lives away like child's play.
"Even in death, we'll drag one down with us!"
With that thought, they ignored Su Yu and the others' strikes, resolving to drag Ziyan into death with them. Marquis Zhennan's sea of will had survived earlier; could they let this one get away as well?
Unacceptable!
Boom!
The next instant, two colossal detonations rang out almost simultaneously.
The formation shattered!
Ziyan's sea of will, already disoriented, abruptly burst apart!
Blasted to pieces by the unimaginable shockwave!
Ziyan's phantom flickered momentarily, looking confused.
Where am I, truly?
Weren't my kin coming to save me?
Why... does it feel like I was tricked!
Her phantom looked at the two self-destructing figures and seemed to recognize them.
Xuemo and Daoyu?
Two powerful ancient marquises!
Aren't they in the Upper Realm?
This looks like the Dao Origin Land.
Then... I came to the Upper Realm?
So now, am I dead?
Ziyan was utterly bewildered. Meanwhile, as Xuemo and Daoyu detonated, their final lingering resentment erupted!
"Ziyan... Chaos race... this feud ends only in death!"
They recognized Marquis Dingjun and the others, so there was no need to name them—they had clearly just joined this faction.
But this Ziyan had to be an important figure of the Chaos race!
Ziyan!
Chaos race!
That resentment rippled outwards rapidly!
Su Yu's expression changed, and he shouted, "Clean up the battlefield, destroy the lingering resentment..."
As he spoke, the battered civilization chronicle swept across.
Checking again, that Great Dao presence was already extremely close.
"He'll be here in ten seconds!"
Su Yu's brows twitched as he bellowed, "Retreat!"
Everyone gathered swiftly toward Su Yu, though some had been caught in the blast—like King Daming, who was coughing blood uncontrollably.
Su Yu swept them all into the civilization chronicle, commanding, "Do not resist!"
Stowing them away, he looked down at the Hundred Battles King and roared:
"Hundred Battles, run! Come to Mount Chaos to find us! Lady Yueluo awaits you—everything back then was a misunderstanding! Lady Yueluo truly loves you!"
"Roar!"
Hundred Battles let out a beastly roar!
"Misunderstanding?!"
Hundred Battles was incensed!
A misunderstanding? How could it possibly be a misunderstanding!
"Yueluo! You wretched woman, even if you saved me, this king will never spare you!"
Hundred Battles roared madly!
How could it be a misunderstanding!
At the pinnacle of his life, right when he was about to achieve hegemony like the ancients, he was betrayed! Sold out!
That blow had filled him with six thousand years of hatred!
It was no misunderstanding!
Yueluo, even if you sent people to save me, I will never let you off!
Mount Chaos, was it?
I will go!
I definitely will!
So you were hiding in Mount Chaos all along!
At this moment, Sealing Mountain completely blew apart, ceasing to exist as towering waves of rule power dispersed into the void.
From start to finish, the battle had lasted roughly three minutes!
In three minutes, nine Heavenly Kings had fallen!
Yes, nine!
Everyone felt one powerful burst of rule power after another detonating!
Not one or two, but a full nine!
Like nine massive fireworks rising into the sky across the Dao Origin Land!
The nine colossal fireworks expanded and bloomed continuously!
Throughout the Dao Origin Land, all eyes turned toward Sealing Mountain!
Shock and terror filled every onlooker!
Such immense tremors—those who died... seemed to all be quasi-kings!
Not one or two, but nine killed in one go!
The Chaos race!
And the Hundred Battles King was unsealed!
……
Sealing Mountain.
Su Yu swiftly tore open the River of Time to flee.
Not long after he left, a figure materialized, cloaked in thick Earth Dao power. Spotting Hundred Battles attempting to flee, his eyes turned cold. "Trying to run?"
Fat chance!
He threw a downward punch, while a colossal mountain descended to suppress him.
Landing the punch, the giant roared, "Heavenly Venerable Mo, enter the River of Time and intercept those bastards!"
In the distance, a purple-haired expert—the one from the high mountain—nodded gravely, his purple hair drifting in the wind.
Nine quasi-kings had fallen in a single battle!
An unimaginable loss!
Those people had escaped into the River of Time; he could not let them get away.
"Heavenly Venerable Ming, assist them in capturing Hundred Battles! If that fails, kill him!"
The purple-haired expert barked, looking in another direction. Over there, an expert hailing from above the river stepped across the void, radiating freezing cold. He nodded upon hearing this. "Go hunt those bastards down!"
Three supreme powerhouses had arrived as reinforcements, bringing the total to four top-tier experts alongside Motian!
The purple-haired expert instantly tore open the River of Time to pursue Su Yu and his group!
Even though the other side had two quasi-kings, he didn't care!
Those bastards wouldn't escape!
He would slaughter them!
The Hundred Battles King regained some clarity, anger burning within him. Soon, those two top beings appeared, joining Motian to attack him three-on-one!
"Damn it!" Hundred Battles roared!
Damned bastards!
This entire Dao Origin Land belonged to their people!
"Kill!"
Hundred Battles began fighting to break through!
The clash tore the sky and earth apart. Sensing a certain presence, he roared, "San Yue, help me!"
Yes, he sensed San Yue's aura.
……
In the distance.
San Yue stood carrying a massive bamboo stalk, glancing over. Sensing his surroundings, another aura began to rise nearby.
Not only that, but several Heavenly King-level auras were ascending as well.
Numerous Dao Integration experts were rapidly converging!
Assessing the situation, San Yue made an immediate decision to abandon the attempt.
He couldn't save him!
Hundred Battles was the focal point of everyone's attention; there were simply too many experts. Even if he intervened, he couldn't turn the tide.
San Yue took one look, wiggled his rear, and quickly departed.
Not getting involved!
Rescuing someone required the right opportunity. If the situation was favorable, he was willing to act, but right now, it clearly wasn't.
Why didn't that idiot Hundred Battles run the instant he broke the seal?
If he had run and fought a guerrilla retreat, San Yue might have found a window to step in and assist. Teaming up with Hundred Battles, as long as they weren't surrounded, they stood a chance of escaping.
"Hundred Battles is as brainless as ever... sigh!"
San Yue left. Near where he had stood, a figure manifested, looking solemn before breathing a slight sigh of relief.
San Yue had chosen to leave!
That was fortunate.
Had San Yue joined the fray alongside Hundred Battles, today might have brought catastrophic casualties.
The newly arrived figure glanced toward San Yue's departure, narrowed his eyes, said nothing more, and swiftly flew toward Sealing Mountain!
To encircle Hundred Battles!
If they couldn't reseal him, they would kill him!
Damn that Chaos race!
To think they actually broke the seal this time!
And killed eight quasi-kings!
While losing only one quasi-king of their own!
Hopefully Heavenly Venerable Mo could catch up to those bastards and slaughter the lot!
……
At this moment, nine colossal clouds of firework-like smoke continued to expand across the sky.
Nine beings standing at the peak of the myriad realms had perished simultaneously today.
Over at Mount Zhu.
It took a good while for the ripples to reach them.
Marquis Juzhu flew out immediately, as did the other beasts. A line of Iron-Eating Beasts ascended into the air, staring east!
The next second, a chorus of clicks echoed out.
In perfect unison, mouths dropped open, and jaws sounded on the verge of dislocating.
Si Yue, Wu Yue, Jiu Yue, and Yuan Yue, along with Marquis Juzhu, all hung their mouths open, staring eastward. Marquis Juzhu's eyes bulged completely round, and the half-eaten bamboo stalk in his mouth slipped out on its own.
Staring wide-eyed, he abruptly turned toward Jiu Yue, his mouth flapping silently for a long while before raspy words finally came out: "Uh... did... nine quasi-kings just die?"
Am I seeing things?
Fuck!
Marquis Juzhu's eyes bulged so wide they seemed stuck.
This has nothing to do with Su Yu and the others, right?
There's no way it's related!
Impossible!
Su Yu's group had only a single quasi-king. Even if you went berserk, there's no way you could kill that many quasi-kings!
Jiu Yue's mouth was hanging open as well. He hurriedly glanced at a small bamboo ring on his paw, quickly letting out a breath of relief. Lan Tian didn't seem to be dead.
Which meant the fallen quasi-kings didn't include Lan Tian.
As long as Lan Tian wasn't dead, everything was fine.
Just then, an eye and a mouth suddenly manifested on the small bamboo ring. "Emperor Yu asked me to pass along a message: Feeling thrilled? If you're thrilled, you'd better listen to orders. Goodbye!"
Bang! The bamboo ring exploded!
Jiu Yue's face changed. "They might be in danger!"
Marquis Juzhu's mouth opened and closed before he croaked dryly, "Slaughtered nine quasi-kings... and they're still alive?"
Of course they're in danger, isn't that obvious?!
I can already feel several terrifyingly powerful auras surging!
Is the entire Dao Origin Land about to be blown apart?
At this moment, the row of Iron-Eating Beasts was shaken beyond words.
How on earth did those guys pull this off?
Can... can they even make it back alive?
Marquis Juzhu wiped sweat that didn't exist from his forehead and looked at Jiu Yue with a peculiar expression. "My dear great-great-grandson... you said Emperor Yu holds petty grudges! If he comes back alive... will he retaliate against us?"
What was I thinking, telling them to kill three Dao Integration experts? Fuck, they went and slaughtered Heavenly Kings instead!
And not just one or two!
This is... too ruthless!
I'm terrified they'll survive and come back for revenge!
Even Lan Tian's bamboo ring exploded; clearly, they hadn't escaped danger yet.
Jiu Yue's mouth twitched before he said naively, "Don't be scared, Old Ancestor. Just listen to me from now on. Hand over leadership of the Iron-Eating race to me, and we'll be on his side! Ancestors Si Yue and Wu Yue, and Old Ancestor, you should all abdicate. Once I'm the boss of the Iron-Eating race, there won't be any problem!"
The Iron-Eating Beasts instantly turned to look at him. Those words... carried quite a few implications!
Just like that, you become the clan's boss?
For a moment, the Iron-Eating Beasts were dazed. Looking back at the nine blooming fireworks reflected in the sky, Marquis Juzhu nodded slightly: "Fine!"
Si Yue and Wu Yue exchanged glances and stayed silent.
You call the shots!
Su Yu and his crew were far too insane. They were genuinely terrified.
Jiu Yue sighed with emotion as well!
I... am the boss now.
This feeling, this sensation—the position of leader had come so quickly, so effortlessly.
What else could be done? Emperor Yu was so unhinged that even the Old Ancestor was scared out of his wits.
Asked to kill three Dao Integration experts, he ran off and butchered nine quasi-kings!
Anyone would be terrified.
"May they... return safely!"
Jiu Yue prayed silently. Lan Tian's final message was followed by the bamboo ring detonating, which clearly meant they had run into danger and could no longer maintain the clone!
