Next Chapter (Teaser) ›
A Supreme Genesis cloud beast and an Imperial Emperor Xi Yi cloud beast.
When these two powerful cloud beasts appeared, they unleashed the aura of Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators. The two auras clashed, creating a powerful and destructive shock wave.
Although Imperial Emperor Xi Yu was just the master of an imperial dynasty, he possessed great strength no weaker than the Azure Emperor’s. However, he had bad timing and luck. Imperial Emperor Xi Yu slowly took shape, formed by Gu Hai’s Thirty-Two Line-Pair World Ritual Array.
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge pair of white dragon bone wings appeared on Imperial Emperor Xi Yi’s back as he stared ferociously at the Supreme Genesis.
Imperial Emperor Xi Yu transformed his body into Yingguo’s body. Now, his aura was no weaker than the Supreme Genesis’s.
“Humph! You overestimate yourself!” The Supreme Genesis cloud beast glared, and his figure suddenly charged forward.
“Hah!” Imperial Emperor Xi Yu roared as he punched.
Boom!
Two fists clashed, and a strong wind swept out. The ground and mountains of the Qian District shook. The expressions of all the spectators changed dramatically.
The Yan Nation consecrates waved their hands, immediately forming barriers and protecting the citizens in the surroundings.
Gu Hai and the Azure Emperor continued playing. The fight between Imperial Emperor Xi Yu and the Supreme Genesis grew increasingly ferocious.
Sand and stone flew all over the place, and the sky turned dark as if the end of the world had come. This caused the countless spectating citizens to cry out in fear.
“Master, do your best! Kill him! Kill him!” Ensnaring Performance roared in the distance.
“Shut up!” the Azure Emperor’s subordinates shouted furiously as they stared at Ensnaring Performance.
“I am just cheering for my master. What does it have to do with you?” Ensnaring Performance looked at the Azure Emperor’s subordinates in disdain.
The battle in the sky looked like it would not end any time soon. Many angels appeared behind the Supreme Genesis, while many soldiers appeared behind Imperial Emperor Xi Yu. The two sides clashed, neither giving way. The battle looked very hair-raising.
“Humph! Such a battle can already shake our Divine Farmer City. However, that is not all there is to the Thirty-Two!” the Azure Emperor snorted coldly. Then, he extended his hand and played another move.
Clack!
A white Go stone landed on the Go board, and churning dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, covering the entire Qian District.
At the same time, citizens in the other districts of Divine Farmer City saw dark clouds appear. The intense winds and shaking from the Qian Nation suddenly weakened significantly. The dark clouds seemed to form a ring around the Qian District.
In the Qian District:
The White Emperor looked up at the sky with narrowed eyes.
“Since when was the Azure Emperor so kind-hearted?” the White Emperor said.
“The Azure Emperor used the Thirty-Two Line-Pair World Ritual Array to surround the Qian Nation, isolating it from the outside and preventing the Go battle from damaging the rest of Divine Farmer City?” Tang Gu said in surprise.
“Humph! Protect the other places? The Azure Emperor is not that kind. He gathered all the experts here. Is he planning to take us all down in one go? That is impossible. Even if the Thirty-Two Line-Pair World Ritual Array possesses great destructive power, it cannot take us all down in one go. Furthermore, Gu Hai is facing him. He can harm all of us only by working with Gu Hai,” the White Emperor said solemnly.
In the crowd nearby, the Mosquito Daoist narrowed his eyes at the distant Go Dao ritual array.
“Gu Hai? This Go Dao ritual array is indeed incredible, able to manifest Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators. However, do you have to put in so much effort? Just fight the Azure Emperor directly and kill him. That’s all. Why waste your time and energy?” The Mosquito Daoist showed a sullen expression.
The Mosquito Daoist showed a complicated expression as he clenched his fist tightly. “Am I overthinking? Or is it as I guessed previously, that Gu Hai is just pretending? He has no strength at all, and everything was just a coincidence? After all, when the Azure Emperor previously trapped him, he did not resist, except for writing the Cla.s.sic of Changes.”
Doubt flashed in the Mosquito Daoist’s eyes. After all, Gu Hai’s actions did not fit his image of Gu Hai.
“No, I have to give it a try. Otherwise, it would be too embarra.s.sing if I kept thinking a pig to be a tiger!” A cold glint flashed in the Mosquito Daoist’s eyes. He was poised to attack, but in the next moment, he raised his eyebrows as he looked at the nearby Lifespan Dongfang.
Just then, Lifespan Dongfang had taken out a needle.
“Oh?” The Mosquito Daoist suddenly stopped moving.
Lifespan Dongfang had been keeping his eyes on Gu Hai from the very start.?????e??ovel*???
“Humph! Gu Hai? This great me can’t be bothered with all this. Since you offended me, only death awaits you!” A cold glint flashed in Lifespan Dongfang’s eyes.
While showing a cold expression, Lifespan Dongfang swung his hand, shooting that needle at Gu Hai, who was in the fog.
That needle was extremely strange. It turned transparent while flying towards Gu Hai’s head.
The needle moved extremely fast and contained great force, the power of an early-stage Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator.
“Excellent!” The Mosquito Daoist’s eyes lit up.
“Humph! That is the Soul s.n.a.t.c.hing Destructive Needle. This great me spent one hundred years forging it. Let’s see how you survive this!” Lifespan Dongfang’s eyes turned cold.
Whoos.h.!.+
The needle shot into the fog and instantly arrived at Gu Hai’s head.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud sound came from Gu Hai’s head.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
“Who?! Who dares to launch a sneak attack?!”
Long Aotian and Long Sanqian, who were behind Gu Hai, roared furiously as their expressions changed dramatically.
However, Gu Hai raised his hand, stopping the two.
“He survived?” The Mosquito Daoist’s expression changed.
That needle strike had the power of an Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator. To think that it failed to injure Gu Hai! Was I wrong again?
“How can this be?” Lifespan Dongfang’s expression changed.
“Lifespan Dongfang?” The White Emperor looked coldly at Lifespan Dongfang.
Likewise, the countless experts in the surroundings looked coldly at Lifespan Dongfang. The Azure Emperor and Gu Hai were supposed to have a fair battle. They had come to witness this. However, Lifespan Dongfang interfered and sneak-attacked Gu Hai.
However, Lifespan Dongfang was one of the Yan Heavenly Emperor’s favored men. Although they felt furious, they could not do anything about it.
Lifespan Dongfang ignored everyone, staring at Gu Hai in shock. “Why was my Soul s.n.a.t.c.hing Destructive Needle useless?”
Everyone vaguely saw Gu Hai turn his head in the fog. Then, a needle seemed to shoot out of his mouth.
Whoos.h.!.+
The needle returned the way it came, arriving before Lifespan Dongfang nearly instantaneously.
The needle moved too fast; Lifespan Dongfang could not block it in time.
“Ah? What?!” Lifespan Dongfang’s expression changed.
Boom!
The needle pierced Lifespan Dongfang’s chest and pinned him to a rock at the side.
“How can this be?” The expressions of the countless experts in the surroundings changed.
Lifespan Dongfang was a lifespan cultivator. Such people had countless means at their disposal, but that did not mean they possessed high cultivations.
When the needle stabbed Lifespan Dongfang’s chest, he spewed a mouthful of blood.
“Soul s.n.a.t.c.hing Destructive Needle?! Argh! No! Gu Hai, this is not over! Wait until I recover! I will have my revenge! Argh!” Lifespan Dongfang roared in pain.
The needle in Lifespan Dongfang gave off blue light, and Lifespan Dongfang immediately withered. Clearly, the needle dealt him severe damage.
Lifespan Dongfang’s complexion turned ashen. No longer daring to remain, he swiped his hand, and a tear appeared in s.p.a.ce. Then, his figure flashed, entering the nether realm.
After Lifespan Dongfang’s sneak attack failed, Gu Hai turned things around and severely injured him?
The countless experts in the surroundings showed horrified expressions as they looked at Gu Hai.
The White Emperor raised her eyebrows as she looked at Gu Hai. “How is Gu Hai this strong?”
The Mosquito Daoist’s expression turned stiff. “Fortunately, this Daoist is smart. This Gu Hai is not a pig pretending to be a tiger. He is a tiger pretending to be a pig. Screw you! You nearly tricked this great Daoist. You are simply a ruffian pretending to be a meek lady, waiting for a pervert to show up and send himself to death. You are very wicked and bad! Screw you!”
The Mosquito Daoist shrank back into the crowd. This great Daoist has figured you out!
The expressions of the surrounding experts sank slightly. They had underestimated this battle. Gu Hai was not easy to deal with.
“How capable! Gu Hai. Humph!” the Azure Emperor snorted coldly.
Then, the Azure Emperor continued playing.
Boom!
The dark clouds in the sky kept building up, sealing off the surroundings.
“Humph!” Gu Hai snorted coldly, playing increasingly faster.
Gu Hai seemed to be cooperating with the Azure Emperor, sealing off the Qian District to prevent any harm to the surrounding citizens.
The battle between Imperial Emperor Xi Yu and the Supreme Genesis intensified.
Gu Hai and the Azure Emperor did not casually make their moves. After seeing Lifespan Dongfang sustain severe injury earlier, they also quieted down.
Everyone stared at the Go board in the center, watching the two’s match.
The two slowed down in their play, apparently needing more time to think.
Rumble…!
As the dark clouds in the surroundings rumbled, they sealed off the Qian District. However, holy light shone within the ritual array, so everything remained extremely clear.
The Go match inside intensified. The citizens outside looked curiously towards the Qian District, which was now like a black ball of dark clouds.
There was only a crack left, which allowed some sound to escape.
——
At this moment, a group of azure-robed men stood respectfully in a manor outside the Qian District.
These azure-robed men surrounded an azure-clad man looking at a Go board in the center.
This azure-clad man was none other than the Azure Emperor.
If anyone in the Qian District saw him, they would feel shocked. Was the Azure Emperor not in the Qian Nation’s residence, playing Go against Gu Hai? Why was he here?
If this was the Azure Emperor, who was playing Go with Gu Hai in the Qian Nation’s residence?
A thirty-two line-pair Go board lay before the Azure Emperor.
“Seven Kills, use the Azure Mountain Token to control the Thirty-Two Line-Pair World Ritual Array. Place the Go stone on sixteen-thirteen!” the Azure Emperor ordered coldly.
Boom! A loud sound came from the crack, sounding like a move had been made inside.
The Azure Emperor looked to the distant dark clouds. “Remember, keep an eye on Ensnaring Performance. Don’t let any accidents happen. Also, after Gu Hai makes his move, place a white Go stone on eighteen-fourteen. After that, you can stop for a while; pretend to think and delay everyone for us.”
Boom!
This novel is available on Hosted Novel.
After the Azure Emperor spoke, a deafening sound came from the crack. Now, black clouds completely covered the Qian District; even the final crack had closed. It looked like a black ball had replaced the Qian District. Not a single sound came from it; the Thirty-Two Line-Pair World Ritual Array prevented all sound from coming out.
As the Azure Emperor looked at the cloud-wrapped Qian District, he revealed a faint sneer.
“Alright. Gu Hai and Long Zhanguo’s projection are already isolated in the ritual array. All the experts in Divine Farmer City are in there as well. We do not have much time. Prepare to leave!” the Azure Emperor said coldly as he stood up.
“Yes!” the subordinates answered.
Then, the Azure Emperor turned his head to look at the palace in the Gen District, at the Divine Yan Hall where Jiang Lianshan was. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
“We are not plotting to defeat Gu Hai. We are plotting to win the entire world! Let’s go!”
