Chapter 69 - 69

Chapter 1216: Eruption Of War (3)

Suddenly, a group of elderlies flew over from the distance. Some came from the Knowledge Seeking Realm and some came from the War Shrine. All of them were exceptionally old. Some were gray-haired, some had shriveled skin, and some looked helpless. Senior Wang of Knowledge Seeking Realm was among them.

The leader of the group was an old woman with no teeth. After coughing a few times, she laughed, "Little Zhu, Little Qin, are you getting ready for a fight?"

The old woman looked in the sky and smiled, "We're already old. Our words...no longer matter. After so many years in seclusion, some things are no longer in our control. So be it. Count us in for the coming fight."

Behind Zhu Tiandao, Hu Qi smiled, "Old Sister, so you're not dead?"

The old woman looked at Hu Qi and replied, "I'm barely alive. It is quite embarrassing to show this side of me..."

Hu Qi said, "I never doubted that we will have another chance to fight together. What a pity that Niu Baidao isn't with us today. That shameless geezer is gone to affirm his dao with the rest of the youngsters. Old Sister, the heavens must be blind if even that shameless geezer gets to affirm his dao."

The old woman laughed, "Don't say that. He was also exceptionally talented back when he was young. He was merely not lucky enough to inherit any ruin. Meanwhile, a fake scholar like Great Ming King who could barely read back then was the one to inherit a cultural researcher ruin. Niu Baidao was only a step behind him..."

Zhu Tiandao had a helpless expression. If these two grannies wanted to gossip, they should try to do it elsewhere. Why were they talking about his old man right in front of him? He wanted to swear that the Zhu Family was most definitely a cultured family. All of them were cultural researchers.

After a short chat, the elderlies joined the group. With this, the number of human Sunmoons present had finally surpassed eighty. About twenty of them were the Sunmoons of Great Xia. They were currently staying in the city. About thirty of them were in Zhu Tiandao's group outside the city.

The rest were showing no intention of helping. All of them were observing further away from the city. Zhu Tiandao and the others appeared unbothered. If they did not wish to help, so be it.

The number of Sunmoons on their side had already surpassed their expectations. The Sunmoons around the city started gathering in different groups.

As for Su Yu, he had yet to be deprived of all his authority. Instead of entering the city, he was given the task of staying outside the city and dealing with those from the Zhu and Qin Families. All his previous subordinates were still temporarily under his command.

Thus, he was slowly approaching the Zhu and Qin Families with his entourage. The battle could start at any moment.

***

Inside the city.

All the Sunmoons of Great Xia were present. Some were minor realm guardians, some were military officials, some were newly advanced Sunmoons like Xia Yunji, and some were those from the Xia Family. All in all, there were over twenty of them.

Marquis Xia gazed straight ahead with a cold expression. All around him, the Sunmoons released their auras. They were faced against over a hundred Sunmoons from the myriad races.

Among the Great Xia Sunmoons was Hong Tan. With a smile, he softly asked, "Marquis, it occurs to me that it has been quite a while since Great Xia fought such a big battle."

"Yeah." Marquis Xia answered, "The last time we fought something like this was during the early days of the prefecture. But my old man was the one there, not me. We haven't fought in any comparable battles since then."

He laughed and said, "Speaking of, Longwu did fight a lot more battles than me. This is my first time experiencing something like this."

He laughed again before suddenly shouting, "Is the myriad races trying to rob Great Xia right within the Human Realm? This is your last chance to leave!"

The Sunmoons around Marquis Xia roared as well, "Leave!"

Their voices reverberated in the area. Then, a translucent barrier took form around the city. Inside the city, numerous talisman masters maintained the newly established formation. The formation wasn't particularly powerful, but it would still stop the attack for a short moment.

Numerous beastmasters stood on standby in the city with their mounts, preparing for a charge right after the battle began. The various warriors waited with their blades in hand while the various cultural researchers prepared all sorts of abilities for the coming battle.

Mountainseas or Cloudbreaches, all were waiting.

Waiting for the big battle.

They might be weak, but when it mattered, they could still fight in formations and kill the Mountainseas or even the Sunmoons of the enemies.

The people of Great Xia never feared battle. The Xia Family had spent hundreds of years in various wars. In recent decades, Xia Longwu had led their armies on various campaigns in the Allheaven Battlefield. Excluding everything else, courage and killing intent were plentiful in the people of Great Xia. At worst, they would perish in battle.

The imposing auras of the people in the city surged and spread, clashing against the auras of those outside the city.

The Pseudo Invincibles outside the city started actively pushing their auras forth to suppress the city.

The Pseudo Invincible from the divine race approached the city and demanded, "Xia Family, hand over the people from the multiple character faction and we will drop the matter. Otherwise, the Xia Family will face extermination today. This is not something either of us want to see."

Marquis Xia laughed and said, "What bullshit are you saying?"

The divine remained calm as he said, "Peace among the myriad races, working together to forge a prosperous era. This is the wish of everyone. And the multiple character faction is the biggest obstacle. After humanity established itself among the myriad ranks, it has seen few major battles. But during Ye Batian's dao affirmation, countless lives were lost. A similar moment has arrived today. Is the Xia Family going to ruin Great Xia for only a few people?"

The physical warfare had yet to start, but the mental warfare had begun.

The divine said, "The Xia Family is willing to die for them. But ask your subordinates. Ask your soldiers. Are they willing to do the same? All this can be avoided."

"We are willing!"

The experts behind Marquis Xia roared in reply. A murderous atmosphere gripped Nanyuan.

Marquis Xia laughed, "A clumsy attempt."

"No, I'm being truthful." The divine said, "That might be what they're saying. But don't forget their friends and families. The Xia Family will be destroyed. Numerous lives will be lost. The millions upon millions of people in Great Xia will be forced to leave their homeland and make a living elsewhere. Before long, Great Xia will turn into a desolate wasteland and paradise of beasts. More lives will be lost. Corpses will litter your streets.

"Is this what the Xia Family wants to see? Are the lives of all these people less important than Hong Tan and a few other individuals? You only need to hand them over. We won't even kill them. We only wish to host them as our guests elsewhere. The various races will treat them with courtesy and respect. They can live a peaceful life until they die of old age."

The divine smiled and added, "This is our promise. We will let them keep their lives."

The price? Their freedom. The various races certainly wouldn't mind treating them well. They could be provided with a life of luxury. They would be provided with large mansions, the best food they could ask for, and the most obedient of servants. None of that would be an issue.

The myriad races only wanted them to stop cultivating and end their legacy. A gentle arrangement like this would avoid generating more resentment among the human race.

Marquis Xia sighed. What beautiful words.

He couldn't allow them to keep speaking. The divines were clearly good at stirring up the public sentiment. The experts wouldn't get stirred so easily, but this might still create some unhappiness among them. There was no need to allow this.

"In that case, allow me to invite your entire family to live in Great Xia as guests."

He sneered, raised his blade, and roared, "If you wish to fight, bring it on!"

Whoosh!

His saber qi surged into the sky.

"Stubborn fool."

The divine snorted and released a palm strike. At the exact same moment, all the other experts attacked.

And thus, the battle began.

Su Yu had just turned to look at the commotion when he saw the sight of a black-robed expert crushing through the defenses around Nanyuan. His eyes widened in fury. Countless wails rang out inside the city.

Instantly, numerous talisman masters were liquified. This was a curse of someone from the celestial chasm race. With one attack, all the defenses crumbled while numerous cultural researchers in charge of manning the defenses perished.

All around him, dozens of Sunmoons from the pavilion and other races charged toward the Zhu and Qin Families.

In the blink of an eye, the experts of the Xia, Zhu, and Qin Families were pushed into a disadvantageous position. The late-stage Sunmoons soared into the sky to face the Pseudo Invincibles of the myriad races.

In mere moments, General Zhao dropped from the sky while coughing blood. But with a roar, he charged into the sky yet again. The late-stage Sunmoons fought in the sky while the myriad races encircled the other human Sunmoons on the ground.

Without the assistance of their late-stage Sunmoons, the other human Sunmoons were instantly pushed to the brink of defeat.

Su Yu clenched his teeth. Where was Principal Wan? Was this not enough for him to make a move? The gap between the two sides was too big. If this continued, more people would die.

Of the fourteen Pseudo Invincibles of the myriad races, about half of them had yet to move. They merely observed the battle at the sidelines. This included the likes of Ancient Mountain from the primordial giant race.

There was no way the three families could deal with these experts on top of the ones they were already fighting.

Su Yu gnashed his teeth as he considered joining the battle as well. He would kill as many of them as he could...

"Stay patient." Beside him, First Profound sent him a voice transmission, "Wait."

"Elder..."

First Profound said, "These people are still trying to test the Xia Family. Wait. If you allow yourself to sink into this quagmire, you might not be able to even flee anymore."

Su Yu said, "But...some will die..."

After a short silence, First Profound said, "This is war."

The answer was very simple.

First Profound understood that Su Yu didn't want to see anyone dying, but this was war.

Su Yu felt helpless, but he said nothing else.

War was upon them

Chapter 1217: First Profound, First Divine (1)

The sudden battle between numerous combatants created numerous explosions all around Nanyuan. In the blink of an eye, space started cracking as one black hole after another appeared in the sky.

"Martial Dragon Guard! Forward!"

Abruptly, a thousand soldiers roared at the same time.

"Die!"

"Swing your blade!"

"Swing your blade!"

"Swing your blade!"

Saber qi surged into the sky as the thousand soldiers surrounded a Sunmoon under the lead of a Cloudbreach.

"Swing your blade! Swing your blade!"

With a single palm strike, dozens of them were crushed into mincemeat. With a sweep of his leg, dozens more burst apart.

When the Cloudbreach died, a Skysoar took over and continued roaring, "Swing your blade!"

"Bugs."

The Sunmoon appeared completely indifferent. What could mere bugs do to him? In mere moments, almost half the soldiers had died. But the rest continued swinging their blades madly.

Blade of Xia.

The number one blade in existence.

One of the blades struck the arm of the Sunmoon. However, the recoil instantly caused the Skysoar wielding the blade to burst apart. That did not stop the others. They continued advancing dauntlessly.

Martial Dragon Guard of Xia, number one under the heavens. Blade of Xia, unstoppable and unrelenting. Blade after blade was swung, but the Sunmoons remained indifferent. How could a thousand regular soldiers kill a Sunmoon like him? What a joke.

Even the strongest bug would still remain a bug.

Nevertheless, these Skysoars were members of the Martial Dragon Guard. It wouldn't be so easy to kill them all. They swung their blade repeatedly, landing strike after strike on the Sunmoon. With their very blood, they painted the air red. Finally, only one soldier was left. With his blade in hand, he roared.

"Blade of Xia! Sharpest of blades!"

Rumble!

With that, the last of them died. But at that moment, the same arm of the Sunmoon that had been hacked repeatedly by the soldiers suddenly exploded. Suddenly, a Sunmoon from the Secret Regiment of the Martial Dragon Guard appeared like a specter and swung his blade. Tears could be seen in his eyes.

One thousand regular soldiers had attacked not to kill the Sunmoon. Rather, they had attacked just to tire and injure the Sunmoon. They had sacrificed all their lives just to open the Sunmoon up for an attack from the Sunmoon of the Secret Regiment. They only did this to help the Sunmoon on their side preserve more strength to deal with the other enemies.

With a thousand lives, they managed to destroy the arm of an enemy Sunmoon.

Was this worth it? The final soldier of the thousand man unit collapsed on the ground, a smile on his face. This was worth it.

The blade of Xia was unrelenting.

Such was the number one blade of the Myriad Realms.

The expression of the enemy Sunmoon changed drastically upon noticing the incoming attack by a hidden enemy. But the explosion of his arm delayed his reaction. As a result, he was cut into two before he could do anything.

His sea of willpower was cleaved apart as well.

Boom!

A moon dropped from the sky.

This was happening all over the battlefield.

One Martial Dragon Guard soldier after another sacrificed their lives just to create an opening for the Sunmoons in their side. An opening to swing the killing blade. Their sacrifices attracted even the gazes of the Pseudo Invincibles who were still waiting at the sidelines.

Blade of Xia.

Blade of Great Xia.

It was sharp indeed.

In a short period of time, thousands of Martial Dragon Guard soldiers died. This was an army with less than ten thousand soldiers. This was a massive loss for them. However, they showed no fear as they marched into the battlefield of Mountainseas and Sunmoons as mere Skysoars and Cloudbreaches.

Before anyone knew it, three Sunmoons had been killed in this manner.

"Blade of Xia! Sharpest of blades!"

In the sky, Marquis Xia roared madly as his aura started surging intensely.

His aura rippled out, his hair came loose, and with a blade in hand, his chubby body started slimming down into a muscular body.

"Since you wish to taste the blade of Xia, your wish shall be granted!"

"Sky! Sunder!"

The expression of the Pseudo Invincible who had been giving Marquis Xia a beating up until now changed rapidly.

As of that moment, Marquis Xia's blade had turned incomparably powerful.

Whoosh!

The sky was sundered.

Darkness shrouded the world. A speck of light split the darkness apart. That speck of light came from a blade.

"Ninth-stage Sunmoon!"

Someone exclaimed in alarm. Marquis Xia was actually a ninth-stage Sunmoon! After suppressing his own strength for so long, he had finally unleashed all his strength in desperation.

His opponent was none other than the divine Pseudo Invincible who had persuaded them to hand over the multiple character faction earlier.

The divine frowned and roared as someone with the exact appearance as him appeared beside him. That was his tri-life body. The two fused back into one before throwing a punch to meet the incoming blade.

A deafening explosion erupted as the two attacks clashed, followed by a rain of blood and flesh from the sky. That was the blood and flesh of the divine.

Upon meeting the blade, the expression of the divine changed yet again.

Something wasn't right...

Right at that moment, a second Marquis Xia appeared behind the divine.

Similarly, he swung his blade at the divine.

"This is the trump card you want to see so badly. Die!"

The soundwaves from his roar rippled out, bursting numerous eardrums and causing numerous people to bleed from their ears.

Boom!

Facing the descending blade, the divine hurriedly tore reality apart, revealing a tiny River of Time. The river flowed in reverse as the divine attempted to rewind time to a moment earlier. Alas, that was for naught.

With a hum, the blade cut the divine into pieces. Even the tiny River of Time was severed. Almost immediately after, a Pseudo Invincible with blood dripping out of his mouth appeared not far away. His aura dropped rapidly before ultimately settling at the level of a ninth-stage Sunmoon.

The previous body of the divine had been reduced into a pile of mincemeat under Marquis Xia's feet. His present body had been killed, leaving him with only a past body. Instead of staying to fight, the past body fled with panic on his face.

Marquis Xia was actually a Pseudo Invincible!

The two Marquis Xia fused into one. Then, he raised his blade before bringing it down yet again.

Someone else appeared in the path of the blade. With a palm strike, the descending blade was stopped. That was the eighth elder of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Behind the elder, an ape clad in golden armor appeared. The ape was also a Pseudo Invincible.

"What a surprise, Marquis Xia."

This was truly a surprise for the eighth elder. The Xia Family was actually hiding yet another Pseudo Invincible.

The divine Pseudo Invincible had nearly died in Marquis Xia's hands. He had survived, but without his present body, he had been reduced to a ninth-stage Sunmoon. Without any assistance, he would have been fully killed by Marquis Xia.

Marquis Xia coldly asked, "This blade you wish to see so much. Is it sharp enough?"

Not far away, the divine took a step back with a gloomy expression. According to their initial plan, the eighth elder was supposed to be the one dealing with Marquis Xia. But he had arrogantly believed that he could easily kill Marquis Xia. Ultimately, he had suffered gravely from his arrogance. He had nearly died.

The battle resumed with three of them fighting Marquis Xia at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the space around them shattered, leaving them to battle in the darkness of the void.

***

"So Xia Xiao'er is actually a Pseudo Invincible? The Xia Family...has indeed done a good job at hiding their strength."

Inside a building far away from Nanyuan, an indistinct figure was muttering to himself. Fınd the newest release on novel{f}ire.net

A Pseudo Invincible.

Xia Longwu was not the only Pseudo Invincible in the Xia Family. Xia Xiao'er was one as well. What a big surprise. It had only been about fifty years yet Xia Xiao'er had advanced from the Mental Tempering Stage to the Pseudo Invincible Realm. This could only mean that he was no less talented than Xia Longwu.

"Is this all?"

A Pseudo Invincible who had captured a past body instead of a future body. Was this the only trump card the Xia Family was hiding? Was this what they were relying on to deal with him?

Unlikely. There was no doubt that a Pseudo Invincible was strong, but this was far from enough to deal with an Invincible like him.

"No. There are more..."

Xia Xiao'er as a Pseudo Invincible was indeed surprising, but this was not enough. It might be more believable if Xia Xiao'er was someone with a powerful future body, but that wasn't the case either.

Suddenly, the eyes of the unknown Invincible flickered.

***

At the same time.

Someone had appeared out of nowhere in the sky above Nanyuan. Right after appearing, he slammed his hammer down at the divine who had just lost his present body.

"No..."

The divine was alarmed. How had this person appeared out of nowhere? Not even an Invincible could approach him completely undetected.

Rumble!

The divine wasn't given much time to think. The hammer landed, smashing his past body into pieces. His sea of willpower remained. Just as the sea of willpower was about to flee, the space around it solidified and crushed it. Only then did the others notice the newcomer, an otherworldly man with fluttering white hair.

"Niu Baidao!"

Numerous people exclaimed in surprise. Wasn't Niu Baidao supposed to be in the Allheaven Battlefield?

Ignoring everyone's surprise, Niu Baidao strode toward the carrier treasure that had fallen out of the destroyed past body. With a falling moon as a backdrop, he picked the carrier treasure up. Just like that, a Pseudo Invincible had been killed.

Not far away, Hu Xiansheng cursed, "Fuck! It broke!"

His Teleportation Door had been broken. Yes. He was the one who had transported Niu Baidao over from far away. The price of that was the destruction of the damaged Teleportation Door he had forced Su Yu to pay for previously.

"Old Niu, you need to pay me a carrier treasure as compensation."

Hu Xiansheng was feeling greatly envious.

A carrier treasure!

Niu Baidao glanced at Hu Xiansheng and said nothing. But the meaning from the look in his eyes was clear. That was not going to happen. This was his kill. The spoil was his.

As for the Teleportation Door, it was the same damaged door Su Yu had paid for. This wouldn't even be that big of a loss to Hu Xiansheng. As the door started cracking while emitting intense spatial undulations, Hu Xiansheng casually tossed it toward a nearly early-stage Sunmoon. Then, the door exploded and instantly tore the Sunmoon apart.

Pieces of flesh flew everywhere.

Noticing the numerous gazes landing on him, Hu Xiansheng shouted in alarm, "Don't look at me! It was Old Niu, not me!"

Why were they looking at him? He was only an early-stage Sunmoon.

"He's also from the multiple character faction..."

With a snort, a late-stage Sunmoon shot toward Hu Xiansheng.

"Fuck!"

Chapter 1218: First Profound, First Divine (2)

Hu Xiansheng turned around and fled unhesitatingly. The moment he moved away, countless beauties, delicacies, and even an ethereal Invincible appeared behind him. All these were illusions.

The battle hadn't even started for long yet a Pseudo Invincible had been killed. That was mainly due to the reveal of Marquis Xia's real strength and the sudden appearance of Niu Baidao. This alarmed the Pseudo Invincibles who were previously observing from the sidelines.

Without any hesitation, three of them joined the battle. Of the fourteen Pseudo Invincibles, only thirteen were left. The immortal, primordial giant, and five elemental did not look like they were going to act, leaving them with only ten. Two were occupied with Marquis Xia, and three were moving forth to deal with Niu Baidao.

Of the remaining five, two were occupied by Zhu Tiandao and Qin Hao. Administrator Hu and General Zhao were handling one. The five minor realm guardians of Xia Family were handling two of them. But most of those on Great Xia's side were at a disadvantage.

The three Pseudo Invincibles facing Niu Baidao looked at each other in dismay and shock. One of them had died so soon?

None of them had been able to sense Niu Baidao's return. That was mostly due to Hu Xiansheng's Teleportation Door.

Not far away, Zhu Tiandao laughed heartily and said, "Xia Xiao'er, Great Ming has killed the first Pseudo Invincible in this battle. We have the first blood!"

Marquis Xia was about to argue when a loud explosion erupted. Somewhere below them, an official from the Secret Regiment of the Martial Dragon Guard had been blown apart. Not far away, a seventh-stage devil was coldly looking around. This was not the first person he had killed in this battle.

Xia Yunji, Hong Tan, and the others were also involved in the bitter battle. Chen Yong could be seen flying out of the city to join the battle. He had just completed his breakthrough into the Sunmoon Realm, yet he didn't even have the time to stabilize his cultivation after the advancement.

As for Niu Baidao, it didn't take long for him to start coughing blood from the beating of three Pseudo Invincibles. His previous otherwordly bearing was completely gone. Things were not looking good for the humans.

***

Not far away.

Su Yu's joy at Niu Baidao's appearance was short-lasting.

"First Profound Elder..."

Looking at Hong Tan and the others who were being blasted away repeated, looking at Wu Yuehua whose body was on the verge of total collapse when she was only a peak Mountainsea, looking at her destroyed cauldron, he was starting to lose patience.

Was he supposed to keep waiting? If he waited any longer, those close to him would start dying as well. He was saddened by the deaths of strangers, but he could still stay calm. But that would not apply if those close to him were dead as well.

First Profound was patrolling the area like an indifferent expert. When he heard the question, he replied through voice transmission, "Soon. Be patient. Trust me. Some people are still hiding away. You have to stay patient. You can't show all your trump cards at once or you will be forfeiting your chance at turning this around."

"But..."

Su Yu gnashed his teeth and sent a Sunmoon from Great Ming flying with a punch.

As a result, the incoming attacks of eight Sunmoons struck nothing. When they all looked at him, he snorted coldly, "This is mine. Are you trying to steal my kill?"

The Sunmoons scattered unhesitatingly. There was no need to get into an argument with Profound Nine for this. There were plenty of people to kill everywhere.

Boom!

Suddenly, one of the scattering Sunmoons was cut apart by an old man. Even as he old man panted for breath, he glared at Su Yu murderously. He was none other than Senior Wang of Knowledge Seeking Realm. After such a bitter battle, he was in an even worse condition than before. It was unlikely that he would live much longer after this battle.

"Little Bastard, back then...I...killed numerous experts of the various realms!"

The old man roared furiously as he recalled his former glory. Alas, he was now an old man bearing serious injuries. Just killing an early-stage Sunmoon was enough to exhaust most of his strength.

Su Yu stared at the old man with a cold expression. He could see that the old man could fight no longer. He said nothing and threw a punch.

Boom!

The old man met the punch with his sword, but the sword instantly shattered. Then, his characters shattered as well. His physical body burst apart, leaving a slightly cracked sea of willpower in the air. After catching the sea of willpower, Su Yu said, "The sea of willpower of a seventh-stage Sunmoon? I think I'm getting rich."

Nearby, several myriad race experts who were about to attack cursed.

Holy shit!

Profound Nine had stolen yet another kill from them.

That old man was obviously on the brink of death. However, Profound Nine had stolen the kill before they could do anything. It was rare for early-stage Sunmoons like them to get a chance to kill a seventh-stage Sunmoon.

Su Yu scanned his surroundings silently before putting the ball of light away. Further away, First Profound glanced at Su Yu and said nothing.

***

Sunmoons were dying one after another.

The battle was intense, but things were still quite peaceful further away from the city. Dozens of Sunmoons had gathered there. Some came from the War Shrine, some came from the Knowledge Seeking Realm, and some came from the various prefectures.

Witnessing the deaths of the Martial Dragon Guard soldiers, witnessing the deaths of one human Sunmoon after another, witnessing the death of Senior Wang...

A few of them stepped forth.

"Blade of Xia, sharpest of blades. Fist of Han, strongest of fists!"

With a roar, one of the Sunmoons threw a punch and blasted a Sunmoon away. He fought madly and killed a Sunmoon in mere moments. But he had also sustained heavy injuries from the fight.

When he saw three other enemy Sunmoons approaching him, he braced himself for death. At that moment, someone laughed behind him and said, "The warriors of Great Han are trash. The warriors of Great Jin are the greatest of all."

Boom!

A battle broke out between the second Sunmoon and the three enemy Sunmoons. The other human Sunmoons watched on as six human Sunmoons joined the battle only to be instantly surrounded by numerous enemies. It did not take long for their blood to be spilled as well.

Some watched blankly, some sighed, some frowned, and some remained indifferent.

Zhang Qi was among them. He stood there and watched the battle without saying a single word.

Nearby, Yuan Qingdong and the others were watching silently as well. He threw inquiring gazes at Zhang Qi and his newly arrived father several times, asking about what they should do. But none of them said anything.

As a human Sunmoon rushed into the battlefield only to be slain moments after, someone muttered, "Why bother? If you had stayed, you wouldn't have died."

As Sunmoons, they all knew what they were looking at. If they dared to join the battle, death was a very real possibility. The muttering Sunmoon was suddenly gripped by intense sorrow. He hadn't been a Sunmoon for long. He had fought in wars before, but he was still lacking in experience.

He felt like crying, and he was also very scared. He scolded the others for rushing out like fools. But next, he roared madly and charged into the battlefield as well.

Damn that dead fool!

That dead fool was his teacher! Why was his teacher such a fool! Why did his teacher charge toward a fourth-stage Sunmoon? His teacher was only a third-stage Sunmoon!

What a fool!

With fear, fury, and indignance, he charged into the battlefield. As the student of a fool, he had naturally learned the foolishness of his teacher as well.

"Great Wu is here!"

At the same moment, a different person charged into the battlefield while roaring furiously, "My king has perished in battle long ago. Our prefect has to stay behind to protect our prefecture. But all our generals are here! The Xia and Wu are family! If we die, we die together!"

Boom!

The battle grew even more intense with the inclusion of almost all the top experts Great Wu could muster. Great Wu King had died many years ago. Great Wu itself wasn't a prefecture with many Sunmoons either. Apart from their perfect who had stayed behind to watch over their prefecture, all eight of their remaining Sunmoons had arrived to assist Great Xia in battle.

Great Qin, Great Ming, Great Shang, Great Han, Great Tang, Great Wu, Great Jin, Great Song...

One expert after another joined the battle. Some joined with heroic aspirations, and some joined while cursing in annoyance.

Why must they fight? Wasn't peace nice? Wouldn't the Xia Family be fine as long as they handed those people over? Why were they doing this?

Such were the complaints of some people even as they joined the battlefield. He fought his way through the battlefield and only stopped when he reached Hong Tan's group. Standing in front of the seriously injured Hong Tan, he continued scolding, "Things would have been less troublesome if all of you were dead!" For more chapters visıt novel{f}ire.net

While fighting the powerful enemy in front of him, he continued scolding, "Piss off already! Why are you still here? Are you trying to die? You need to stay alive long enough to reactivate our suppressive force! You owe me at least this much! Hong Tan! You're a piece of trash! Your teacher was also a piece of trash! I've been dying to scold him. Damn that piece of trash! Without sufficient confidence, he shouldn't have attempted his dao affirmation! Damn him! Damn you all!"

With fury, indignance, and madness, the burly man scolded the fifth principal and his line even as he fought the enemy. Finally, he cut an enemy Sunmoon apart with his blade, but immediately after, he was reduced into mincemeat by the surrounding enemy Sunmoons.

More and more humans were joining the battle, but too few of them were peak experts. All the true peak experts had been sent to the Allheaven Battlefield to attempt their dao affirmations.

***

Suddenly, a massive curtain of light appeared in the sky.

A silhouette walked out of the void.

"Since so many of you are here, let's not leave anymore."

With a casual jab of his finger, he killed a nearby Sunmoon. He looked around, looked at Marquis Xia, Niu Baidao, Hong Tan, and the others before sighing, "I'm late. I had to deal with some garbage before coming."

"First Divine!"

"Nan Wujiang!"

The Pseudo Invincibles turned wary.

With the same distortion around his face, the First Divine Sect master laughed and said, "Are you waiting for them?"

Three balls of light appeared atop his palm as he said, "They aren't coming anymore."

Rumble!

He crushed the three balls. Instantly, three massive and bright moons dropped from the sky.

Countless people were alarmed.

Even as he was coughing blood from his heavy injuries, Marquis Xia exclaimed, "What...what is going on? Three Pseudo Invincibles?"

The First Divine Sect master grinned. His face was constantly distorted, but one could still tell he was grinning.

"Amazing, right?"

He coughed once as a tiny trail of blood dripped out of his mouth. He said, "Three Pseudo Invincibles. After fighting for so long...you guys...didn't kill as much as...me...cough, cough!"

As he stopped to cough, the devil Pseudo Invincible roared, "Immortal, primordial giant, and five elemental. Are the three of you going to keep watching? He's injured!"

Everyone was alarmed.

What a powerful Pseudo Invincible. The First Divine Sect master had killed three Pseudo Invincibles all by himself.

However, he had also sustained heavy injuries from the fight. That was clear for all to see.

The First Divine Sect master smiled, "Even with heavy injuries, I can still kill the likes of you easily. I intended to wait for that man, but you guys just have to charge ahead, leaving me with no choice but to act."

They understood what he was talking about. He intended to wait for the traitor.

As someone capable of killing three Pseudo Invincibles alone, he had most certainly captured a future body. Or he might be someone who had captured both tri-life bodies, a step away from affirming his dao. No wonder. No wonder Great Xia had the courage to set a trap against an Invincible.

Marquis Xia, Niu Baidao, and the First Divine Sect master were experts even among fellow Pseudo Invincibles.

With the three of them joining hands, even if they couldn't outright defeat an Invincible, they would be able to at least keep one occupied for some time. Everyone was also alarmed at the realization that the First Divine Sect master belonged to humanity's camp.

They had believed that the rumors about him were lies. But instead, they were presented with the return of the third principal. Before arriving, he had even killed three Pseudo Invincibles. It was likely that the three Pseudo Invincibles had hidden further away, awaiting a chance to take advantage of the chaos.

However, his arrival did not change much.

The divine, five elemental, and primordial giant Pseudo Invincibles looked at each other before stepping forth together. It didn't matter if they were neutral toward humanity. The destruction of the multiple character faction was an agenda everyone agreed to. Humanity was the only race against this agenda.

Chapter 1219: First Profound, First Divine (3)

Su Yu exhaled in relief.

He had thought that the First Divine Sect master wasn't necessarily on their side. That might be someone only there to distract everyone. But he was wrong. The sect master had been present all along and had even killed three Pseudo Invincibles for them. There was no doubt in his allegiance.

Nan Wujiang had returned.

The third principal had returned.

And sure enough, he was incomparably powerful. He had killed three Pseudo Invincibles alone. But he seemed to have sustained heavy injuries from the fight.

***

At the same time.

Allheaven Battlefield.

Standing above the Eastrift Valley, Great Qin King gazed into the distance. After a long while, he said, "Everyone, we continue waiting. When three Eternal tri-life bodies appear in the Human Realm, we'll start."

They needed at least three Invincibles to be occupied before starting their attempt. All this only to make the dao affirmations of the ten or so people behind him easier.

He turned to face them and coldly said, "Don't forget this, everyone. Remember this day. Remember all the people fighting in the Human Realm. They are the ones fighting to give you this opportunity. At present, at least five enemy Eternals have sneaked into the Human Realm."

The crisis in Great Xia had occupied the attention of at least five enemy Invincibles. Or perhaps even more than that. All this only to reduce the number of enemies these Pseudo Invincibles might encounter during their dao affirmations. This was a big opportunity for them.

Great Qin King turned to gaze ahead again as he repeated himself, "The moment three tri-life bodies of Eternals appear, we start."

"Yes."

Standing behind him were Invincibles and Pseudo Invincibles. Some remained silent, and some were looking down, their thoughts unknown. Beside Great Xia King, Xia Longwu remained silent as well. One of the reasons the Xia Family had initiated this plan was to provide him with an opportunity to affirm his dao.

Every single missing enemy Invincible represented an increase in his chances of succeeding.

Great Qin King believed that the Xia Family would be able to keep at least three Invincibles occupied. Xia Longwu shared that opinion. But he was unsure if...they could actually handle all those Invincibles. He had no answer to that.

As Xia Longwu stood there in silence, his aura started climbing slowly. Eventually, his surroundings started shaking lightly while an intense pressure descended upon the nearby Pseudo Invincibles.

All of them looked at him in astonishment. He ignored all of them. With his head lowered, he firmed his mind. He had to affirm his dao. Even if he might fail, he had to do it.

***

War raged on in Great Xia.

Moon after moon dropped from the sky.

Suddenly, someone roared. The entire city trembled as a moon rose from within Nanyuan. Then, someone soared into the sky from inside the city, his long hair fluttering about.

"Liu Wenyan!"

Numerous people exclaimed in alarm. Liu Wenyan had completed his advancement. His aura started climbing rapidly. First stage, second stage, third stage...

But at the third-stage Sunmoon Realm, his aura stagnated. Numerous people exhaled in relief. Some had thought that he might really climb to the ninth stage then and there.

Liu Wenyan said nothing. With a flicker, he appeared outside the city. A seventh-stage Sunmoon was just about to land a killing blow to Chen Yong when Liu Wenyan appeared beside him. First, the Sunmoon was alarmed. But next, he was overjoyed. The source of thɪs content is novel[f]ire.net

A massive reward had been offered for the life of Liu Wenyan. That thought had just crossed his mind when an axe appeared in Liu Wenyan's hand. Almost immediately, the axe released an alarming level of power. The seventh-stage Sunmoon couldn't even react before the axe cleaved him into two.

That was an axe manifested by a peak Sunmoon character. That was also the final Ye Batian's character still in Liu Wenyan's hands.

After reaching the third-stage Sunmoon Realm, Liu Wenyan could finally make full use of this character. With this character, he could fight with the strength of a peak Sunmoon for a period of time.

After killing a Sunmoon with one hit, Liu Wenyan flickered and reappeared beside Niu Baidao. The three Sunmoons were giving Niu Baidao a terrible time. In fact, he was being beaten so badly that even his past and present bodies had been forcefully beaten apart.

Liu Wenyan swung his axe without saying anything. At the same moment, the entire city trembled. Something abruptly appeared above Su Yu's neighborhood. A ruin with numerous pavilions appeared, with wave after wave of heavenly source qi rippling out of it.

Nanyuan had always been lacking in source qi. But as of this moment, the entire place became filled with source qi. The translucent ruin shook as a white stele tried frantically to charge out of the ruin. It seemed to be desperately trying to approach Liu Wenyan.

However, it was unable to leave the ruin.

Marquis Xia roared, "Go back! Enter the ruin and inherit the Culture Tomb!"

He looked at Liu Wenyan, his tone desperate as he shouted, "Inherit the Culture Tomb! Remember! You will succeed! We have done all this for the sake of multiple character faction and humanity! Go!"

He fought against his two opponents with even more desperation. More and more wounds could be seen on both his tri-life bodies. Suddenly, the air above the city turned heavier.

A silhouette appeared in the sky.

With a sigh, the newcomer said, "The Xia Family has laid out a wonderful trap. Alas, you are too unlucky. With the Culture Tomb, I have no choice but to come. Otherwise, you might have really succeeded in luring that man out."

The newcomer shook his head regretfully. What a pity. The Xia Family was so close to success. But the Culture Tomb proved too attractive. More and more people were losing their patience. They were not willing to wait any longer. Their appearance might put an end to Xia Family's plan to lure the traitor out.

The newcomer was a tri-life body of an Invincible. Even with only a tri-life body, the Invincible was able to instantly suppress everyone present.

He started walking toward the ruin while muttering, "This ruin will be the reason for your failure. Do not blame me for my greed..."

Even the presence of the First Divine Sect master was overshadowed by the newcomer.

This was an Invincible. Not a Pseudo Invincible like so many of them.

This was a future body with a combat strength near the level of a complete Invincible. Not all tri-life bodies of Invincibles would have the combat strength of complete Invincibles. But he was still far stronger than any of the Pseudo Invincibles present.

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu was on the verge of roaring with frustration.

They only wanted to lure the traitor out.

Damn the Culture Tomb.

He started regretting his act of inserting the Culture Tomb into the fake ruin. Was Old Wan going to make an appearance or not?

If Old Wan appeared to deal with this newcomer, the traitor might really not show up after all. Furthermore, could Old Wan even defeat this tri-life body? Old Wan was aware of the truth behind the Culture Tomb. He was also aware that it might end up luring more experts than they were ready to handle. What would he do now?

Su Yu had no idea. He felt exceptionally helpless. He wondered if he should reveal himself, after all. Perhaps that would be enough to lure the traitor out. Not even Liu Wenyan's advancement had worked. The traitor was too patient.

The Invincible continued walking toward the ruin. He looked completely at ease, as though he was taking a stroll in a park.

Marquis Xia roared furiously, "Damn you all! Why couldn't you wait a bit longer?"

The Invincible sneered, "Xia Xiao'er, reality has a way of moving differently than what you want. You wish to lure the traitor out, but we're not about to let you succeed. The traitor must remain hidden. That will keep things interesting in the Human Realm."

He laughed with amusement, but immediately after, his expression changed.

At the same time, the eighth elder, who was on the verge of killing Marquis Xia's past body, stiffened. Not far away, a familiar voice rang out, "Eighth Elder, no!"

That was a very familiar voice.

The eighth elder was just about to turn around when a rumble rang out. Yet another voice rang out, "Don't look back, Eighth Elder."

Then, a peal of laughter rang out in his sea of willpower. He attempted to rewind time and return to a moment earlier, but his River of Time snapped as a response.

Silence enveloped the area.

The silence was broken by a dropping moon from the sky.

First Profound.

Countless people were shocked.

First Profound, who had killed the eighth elder with only one strike, hovered indifferently in the sky. The other Pseudo Invincible who was fighting Marquis Xia hurriedly withdrew. As for the Invincible, he asked blankly, "Who...are you?"

This person...felt rather familiar. He was not the only person who was confused. Everyone else was confused. Who was this?

First Profound sighed, "Why must you involve yourself in this mess? I wanted to appear at the end to kill the traitor. What a pity. Why must you show yourself so early? Are you in so much of a rush to die?"

The Invincible showed no fear. He said indifferently, "Yes, you are quite strong. You have both your past and future bodies. You are much stronger than a regular Pseudo Invincible. You might...really be strong enough to fight a proper Invincible. Someone like you...can't be someone of little significance."

Slowly, his aura rose. With a smile, he said, "Looks like I've been used as a tool as well. Great Xia...is truly good at scheming. I'm curious. Who are you? You should be someone I know."

First Profound smiled, "How about you? Since you're already here, why don't you show your face? You should be someone I know."

"True."

When the Invincible revealed his appearance, Zhan Wushuang exclaimed in joy, "Divine King Tian Dang!"

Initially, Zhan Wushuang was feeling terrible after seeing the death of a divine Pseudo Invincible. But when he saw a divine king appearing, he couldn't contain his joy.

A divine king had arrived!

Divine King Tian Dang looked at First Profound and First Divine Sect master. He smiled, "You..."

His gaze shifted toward Hong Tan and the others as he continued, "The multiple character faction is indeed...patient. I'm very surprised. Xia Chen's line...is starting to terrify me."

He roared with laughter, "Nan Wujiang...First Profound. Hahaha!"

The others, including Su Yu, were left utterly confused.

What?

If First Profound was Nan Wujiang...who was the First Divine Sect master?

Su Yu was completely stunned. His elder was...Nan Wujiang...the third principal?

Holy shit!

That was the third principal!

First Profound had previously claimed to be his grandpa. But if First Profound was really the third principal, in terms of seniority, the third principal would be his martial great grandfather if he counted himself only as Liu Wenyan's student. If he counted himself Bai Feng's student, that would push him down another generation.

Su Yu was completely dumbfounded. Since First Profound was the third principal...who was the First Divine Sect master, then?

While he was confused, First Profound laughed, "Tian Dang, are you here to throw your life away? What's the point?"

"Nan Wujiang...you're still as arrogant as ever."

The divine king laughed. He looked at the First Divine Sect master and sighed, "Xia Chen's line...is truly filled with monsters. First Divine...no, you're probably Yun Chen, the first student of Nan Wujiang and the senior brother of Ye Batian. Am I right?"

At that, the distortion around First Divine Sect master's face faded away, revealing a slightly depressed face as he said, "Greetings, Divine King. Teacher, looks like we won't be able to deal with the traitor anymore."

Teacher!

First Divine Sect master, Yun Chen, Ye Batian's eldest senior brother, and Wan Tiansheng's teacher.

As of that moment, a certain understanding dawned on Ye Hongyan. Previously, the First Divine Sect master had claimed that he wasn't Nan Wujiang. He was only there to save them at the behest of someone else.

Who was that person? First Profound. Or to be precise, Nan Wujiang. The true Nan Wujiang.

Xia Chen's line...was indeed terrifying. That same thought appeared in the minds of many.

The third principal was not dead. He was also terrifyingly strong. He was strong enough to kill the eighth elder without much effort. He was also strong enough to stand against an Invincible. His student was the First Divine Sect master. Even Ye Batian was his student in name.

Very few people knew this, but nominally, he had another student who was even more terrifying.

Divine King Tian Dang looked at the two and laughed. "The two of you have pretended to be dead for so many years. But I don't understand. Back when you feigned your deaths, the traitor has yet to betray humanity. Why did you feign your deaths, then?"

First Profound said, "That wasn't the initial plan. But...dao affirmation is too difficult. I only tried to steal a more suitable identity to complete my dao affirmation. It came as a surprise to me that I was able to steal such a useful identity. Yun Chen had assumed the role of a sect master to do the same as well. Alas...we have to end our concealment in advance."

***

At the same time.

The silhouette in the faraway hall laughed.

"I see. Nan Wujiang, Yun Chen, and Xia Xiao'er..."

Understanding dawned on him.

Everything became clear.

So this was what the Xia Family had been relying on.

No wonder they were so confident. The powerful third principal, the Pseudo Principal Xia Xiao'er, and Yun Chen. The three of them would be enough to at least keep him from escaping for some time.

"Hahaha! How regretful. Your luck is too bad. The Culture Tomb has ruined your plan."

The silhouette continued laughing. He didn't even need to do anything anymore. Thanks to the Culture Tomb, more experts would arrive and complete his job for him. The Xia Family had failed. He didn't even need to make a move personally anymore.

With so many experts there for the Culture Tomb, he could sit back and relax. Naturally, if an opportunity presented itself, he still wouldn't mind making an appearance to kill these people.

After all, every single member of the multiple character faction was a potential threat to him in the future.

Chapter 1220: There's Always Someone Better (1)

First Profound was Nan Wujiang.

The First Divine Sect master was Yun Chen.

The third principal was still alive.

Great Xia's multiple character faction was terrifying indeed. It had produced multiple Pseudo Invincibles, all of which had been scheming heavily to complete their dao affirmations. Ye Batian was the sole exception, opting to perform his dao affirmation openly. As a result, he died.

And now, this line had returned to take their revenge.

First Profound had killed the eighth elder right after appearing. The third elder, who was in the midst of fighting Zhu Tiandao, roared with alarm, "First Profound! How could you kill the eighth elder?"

First Profound ignored him. Meanwhile, the group of Sunmoons around Su Yu hurriedly scattered in fear. If First Profound was a human, how about Profound Nine? Things were starting to become clear.

There was indeed a reason behind Xia Family's confidence. The Culture Tomb was the only variable that had ruined their plan. Without the Culture Tomb, the myriad race Invincibles wouldn't have appeared.

And without the myriad race Invincibles, the Xia Family had more than enough strength to deal with all these Pseudo Invincibles arrayed against them. First Profound was strong enough for that.

Divine king Tian Dang smiled, "Nan Wujiang...and Yun Chen. Xia Chen's line is truly impressive. What a pity. This line has produced so many geniuses. Xia Chen, Nan Wujiang, Yun Chen, Ye Batian, Liu Wenyan, Hong Tan, Chen Yong, and Su Yu..."

Each name he mentioned struck the hearts of all the onlookers like a hammer. This was indeed a line of monsters.

"No, that's not all. There's also Xia Longwu and Xia Xiao'er..." The divine king laughed, "Xia Longwu is a student of Wan Tiansheng. Xia Xiao'er learned under Ye Batian. He wasn't accepted as a student officially, but he was taught just like an official student. Your line is too scary. There is a reason why the myriad races can't tolerate the existence of your line."

It would be much more acceptable if the line had only produced a genius or two. But this line was somehow capable of producing a super genius each generation.

Ye Batian might be the fifth principal, but he was actually from the third generation of the multiple character faction. Hong Tan's generation was the fourth generation while Su Yu could be considered a member of both the fifth and sixth generations. It had only been about three hundred years since the first generation.

In only a few generations, they had produced multiple Pseudo Invincibles. One of them had nearly succeeded in dao affirmation. What a terrifying line. Great Xia King might have accomplished more than his younger cousin, but Xia Chen had produced a much more powerful line.

Divine King Tian Dang said, "Friends who are observing from the darkness. I'm only here as a tri-life body. I might not be enough to deal with Nan Wujiang. Even if you're uninterested in the Culture Tomb, I believe we can all agree that Nan Wujiang must die. None of you want to see him affirming his dao, right?"

At that, the air warped as a devil stepped out.

"Devil King Mohe."

The devils exclaimed in joy. A devil king had arrived!

With the divine king to his front and the devil king to his back, First Profound found himself surrounded. He had not bothered to take his mask off. With a smile, he said, "You are overesting me. Is there a need for you to pay so much attention to me? My dao affirmation will be different from the dao affirmation of someone from the multiple character faction. My main character has been destroyed. I am only aiming to achieve a regular physical dao affirmation. You should leave me alone and save yourself the loss of your tri-life bodies."

"You're very confident." The devil king said, "Nan Wujiang, your appearance won't change anything. It's the same as throwing your life away. You should have stayed obediently in the pavilion. That way, you might still be able to live longer."

First Profound sighed, "The multiple character faction has sacrificed and lost too much. Since the death of Ye Batian, I have been contemplating revenge. I also wondered if I should let the multiple character faction fade from the memories of everyone. But I was wrong. Some people in my line are still struggling. They are unwilling to give up. In that case...I shouldn't have given up as well."

He had indeed wondered if he should allow the multiple character faction to fade away. That would benefit both him and Yun Chen. That might make their path to dao affirmation smoother. But ultimately, he had still decided to come out of hiding. Newest update provıded by novel_fіre.net

Revenge.

And proof.

He would have his revenge. He would prove just how powerful Great Xia's multiple character faction was. He would make all the human experts who had abandoned them regret their past actions. He would let everyone know that his line was filled with absolute geniuses.

He had recruited Su Yu into the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion to protect Su Yu in his own way. Additionally, he had also done so to figure out a way to sever Su Yu's connection with the ancient city. As for the chaos Su Yu had been causing for the pavilion, that wasn't something he anticipated.

Nan Wujiang, Su Nansheng…

That was a name Nan Wujiang had given Su Yu when he claimed to be Su Yu's grandpa. But there was one thing he hadn't lied about. Nanyuan was his hometown as well. He might not be surnamed Su, but Nanyuan was indeed the place he came from. Many had forgotten that Su Yu was not the only popular individual Nanyuan had produced. Before Su Yu, ther was Nan Wujiang.

That was understandable since he had officially died over a hundred years ago.

One of the Invincible said, "Nan Wujiang, since you have shown yourself, don't bother leaving without us. I believe you don't want to implicate the others, right? Are you coming with us or do we need to make you come with us?"

Nan Wujiang smiled, "It's fine. Let's go together."

At that, a River of Time appeared in the sky and the three vanished inside the river. They reappeared moments later, but it felt as though they were no longer in the same reality as everyone else.

They were still visible to the others, but nobody could feel anything from the three who were engaged in a battle. They had entered a different dimension. This was how these top experts would usually fight.

***

Su Yu was feeling extremely nervous as he witnessed the battle.

Two Invincibles!

Sure, they were only here in their tri-life bodies, but First Profound was not an Invincible either. Could he handle them?

Nevertheless, the pressure on the humans had reduced significantly.

Of the seventeen enemy Sunmoons, the First Divine Sect master had killed three, Nan Wujiang had killed one, and Nan Wujiang had killed one. Only twelve remained. That was still a big number, but the strength on humanity's side had also increased considerably compared to the start.

Marquis Xia, the First Divine Sect master, and Niu Baidao had all been revealed as Pseudo Invincibles. Liu Wenyan was also fighting with a combat strength beyond the ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm thanks to Ye Batian's character. Zhu Tiandao had been able to keep a Pseudo Invincible busy from the start of the battle, even if he looked quite miserable doing it.

One could say that they had five combatants at the level of Pseudo Invincibles on their side. They were only slightly outnumbered. Zhu Tiandao, in particular, looked like he was having a very bad time from all the wounds on his body. No, Qin Hao was suffering even more. His body was on the verge of breaking apart.

One trump card after another was revealed.

Alas, the traitor was still nowhere to be seen.

Su Yu couldn't even be bothered by the reaction of the Sunmoons around him. Rather, he was wondering if Wan Tiansheng was going to keep waiting. But what exactly was the point? Not even Liu Wenyan's breakthrough had caused the traitor to appear.

Would the traitor even appear? The traitor was too patient. Or perhaps the bait was simply not tempting enough.

Suddenly, a realization came to Su Yu.

Why was the traitor still not appearing? Because the dao affirmations in the Allheaven Battlefield had yet to start. The human Invincibles might turn around and return to the Human Realm at any time. That would be a lot more troublesome for the traitor to handle.

At that moment, someone spoke, reinforcing Su Yu's conclusion. "How foolish. The third principal has appeared too early. Yun Chen, you were too impatient.

Yet another person had arrived. That was a youth. No, the youth had transformed into a young woman. No, the young woman had transformed into an old man… With each step, the newcomer transformed into a different person.

With a helpless and regretful expression, the newcomer sighed, "How idiotic. You must be ready to let some people die. This is the biggest weakness of the multiple character faction. You are too soft. This isn't the limit of the Xia Family. They will survive even if they lose a few more people. You guys should have waited until the dao affirmations begin. That will allow the traitor to appear without any misgivings..."

The newcomer complained regretfully, "Too stupid..."

But suddenly, a sweet smile bloomed on his face, "What a pity. Truly a pity. I was hoping that after killing the traitor, humanity would be able to stand up again and help fulfill my dream of forging an era of prosperity and peace. What a pity."

"Lan Tian!" The devil Pseudo Invincible said, "Lan Tian, are you betraying the devils?"

Lan Tian asked, "What do you mean I'm betraying the devil? I'm a human. I've always been a human. I have always said that my cooperation with the devils or anyone else is all for the rise of humanity. I have been saying this since the very beginning. Am I right, my lovely believers?"

"Yes."

Countless individuals appeared in the sky. Some looked fanatical, and some simply looked mad.

"Humanity shall rise. Peace to the Myriad Realms. The Holy Sect shall prevail."

"The Holy Sect is everlasting!"

A group of fanatical believers had appeared. They were the members of the Original Devil Sect. No, they had never called themselves that. They had always claimed to be the members of the Holy Sect.

Lan Tian was their saint. According to Lan Tian, he was the great saint destined to save humanity from all suffering.

With his ever-changing appearance, Lan Tian laughed and said, "Believers of the Holy Sect, go forth and do battle. Blood needs to flow for the sake of peace. Kill these invaders. We will forge our holy land. Anywhere we stand on shall become our holy land."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At that, the fanatical believers swarmed the battlefield. Some were Skysoars, some were Cloudbreaches, some were Mountainseas, and there was even a Sunmoon among them. But a majority of them were merely Infinite Strength and Great Strength cultivators.

Yes. Lan Tian had arrived with all his believers. They feared not death. They feared not pain. They charged into the battlefield, akin to moths throwing themselves into the flame.

Then, Lan Tian strode forth. Walking on thin air, he walked toward the Pseudo Invincible Administrator Hu and General Zhao were fighting. A smile bloomed on his face as he said, "Administrator Hu, General Zhao, the two of you are too weak. Why don't you join my Holy Sect and fight for peace..."

Administrator Hu and General Zhao looked incomparably solemn.

That was Lan Tian.

A lunatic.

There was no doubt that this was a lunatic. Even if he was fighting on their side, they still couldn't help but view him as an absolute lunatic.

Lan Tian had lost his mind long ago. As the eyewitnesses to Lan Tian's betrayal back then, they both believed that Lan Tian was already mad back then.

Step after step, Lan Tian advanced. His aura grew, eventually reaching the ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm. With a casual wave of his hand, he ripped space apart and revealed the River of Time.

With a laugh, Lan Tian asked, "I lack something. A carrier treasure. I need one to become a Pseudo Invincible. Any kind fellow daoist interested in lending me one?"

His gaze landed on a dragon Pseudo Invincible.

A sweet smile bloomed on his face as he asked, "The dragons are known for their excessive sex drive. Lord Dragon, how about a night with me for a carrier treasure?"

The dragon's face fell as he answered with his claws.

Lan Tian was instantly torn apart. But the expression of the dragon turned into one of shock. All around him, countless Lan Tians had appeared. Some were men, some were women. Some were old, some were young.

"Don't do me like that, Lord Dragon!" said a seductive Lan Tian.

"Accept your death, beast!" said an aggressive Lan Tian.

"This dragon is unlikely to live a long life," said a stern Lan Tian.

"Ahhh, a dragon! This is so scary!" said a timid Lan Tian.

Chapter 1221: There's Always Someone Better (2)

A chill crept up the spines of everyone in the area. Countless incarnations of Lan Tian had appeared in the sky. Every one of them seemed like the true Lan Tian. They talked among themselves, each with a completely different expression, and each with a completely different personality.

Even the dragon was discomfited by the sight of this. He said, "You're crazy. Are all these puppets? How many myriad race experts have you killed to create so many puppets?"

Every single Lan Tian present was a real, unique individual. Or to be precise, these were all the people who had been killed by Lan Tian. Nobody knew that Lan Tian had actually killed so many experts. There were hundreds of them, and each of them seemed like the real Lan Tian.

Nobody knew which of them was the real Lan Tian. Suddenly, all the Lan Tians paused before speaking the exact same words in perfect harmony, "I am myself. I am Lan Tian. I walk the path of myriad race fusion. Everyone pursues the path of three body fusion. But that won't encourage the unity of the myriad races. Only by fusing the myriad races can we achieve true unity. Only then can we achieve true peace. I shall affirm my dao with the bodies of the myriad races! Instead of three bodies, I will affirm my dao with ten thousand bodies!"

Even the Pseudo Invincibles felt their hearts palpitating upon hearing that declaration. What an absolute madman.

That was no empty declaration.

This lunatic was truly trying to do that.

The immortal Pseudo Invincible said, "Watch out. This guy is already mad. Every one of them is a real body. He has cut his sea of willpower into countless pieces before embedding them into each of these bodies, making all of them real bodies. All of them are him."

"Baddie, why are you saying such unpleasant things about me?"

A coquettish female Lan Tian stomped her foot in anger. Then, countless Lan Tian attacked together. The dragon Pseudo Invincible instantly found himself enveloped in attacks.

"Be careful!"

The immortal Pseudo Invincible warned, "He—cough, cough..."

Before the immortal could finish his warning, the First Divine Sect master detonated a character and blasted the immortal to the point of coughing blood. The First Divine Sect master coldly asked, "Why are you not paying attention when you're fighting me?"

But even the First Divine Sect master couldn't help but stare at Lan Tian. He had known Lan Tian for many years, and he knew that Lan Tian wasn't normal.

However, he had never expected that Lan Tian would be such a madman.

Hundreds of Lan Tians attacked together, raining all sorts of attacks from the sky. Devils, divines, dragons, demons...

The abilities of numerous races were used as he attacked.

Everyone else was alarmed. Was this the dao Lan Tian walked?

Fusing the myriad races?

This lunatic might have really walked upon a completely new dao.

Boom!

Some Lan Tians were blasted apart, but some Lan Tians managed to land their attacks on the dragon. After looking at each other, Administrator Hu and General Zhao decided to withdraw. This madman was too scary. They weren't sure if the madman would include even them in his attacks.

One of the Lan Tians flashed a seductive smile and said, "Why are you leaving? Let's have some fun together."

Madman!

Even Su Yu couldn't resist cursing inwardly.

And Lan Tian was not the only one who was mad. Even his subordinates were all mad.

Over a thousand of his fanatical believers were throwing themselves toward the Sunmoons without regard for their lives. Blood and flesh filled the battlefield. Without fail, every single believer would yell the same words before dying, "Holy Sect, bringer of peace!"

The fanatical manner in which they were throwing their lives away was even scarier than the valiant sacrifice of the Martial Dragon Guard. In fact, even some of the Sunmoons were starting to feel alarmed even when they were the ones doing the killing without suffering any harm.

However, there was also no doubt that Lan Tian's arrival had further lightened the burden on the humans.

More and more people died in the battle.

As for Su Yu, he was starting to grow reckless. Initially, he would find an excuse for every human he helped. But now, people were starting to flee from him whenever they saw him approaching. They were simply too wary of him.

When Su Yu noticed Titanic Strength and the others running away from him, he coldly asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Just because First Profound is a traitor does not mean I'm a traitor as well. If you must suspect someone, you should suspect the Profound Department head instead. It's not like I have access to First Profound's information."

The pavilion elders didn't even know what to believe anymore.

What was this?

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had deployed a powerful force to the Human Realm, but the eighth elder had been slain while First Profound was Nan Wujiang all along. They were starting to waver, unsure of what they should do.

Meanwhile, the ruin was slowly emerging.

Lan Tian's arrival was helpful, but humanity was still under a lot of pressure.

Zhu Tiandao, who was still busy fighting, looked around and cursed helplessly.

That traitor was way too patient.

The dao affirmations in the Allheaven Battlefield had yet to start.

Great Qin King intended to start only after three Invincibles appeared. And it was unlikely for the stubborn Great Qin King to change his mind. What should they do now? Where could they find another expert to force a third Invincible to appear?

"Wan Tiansheng..." Updates are released by novel_fіre.net

Zhu Tiandao cursed. Had Wan Tiansheng done a better job at hiding than him? He felt like he should be the real trump card here, not Wan Tiansheng. But the damn Wan Tiansheng was still happily hiding away. Was he not aware that almost everyone knew he was hiding his strength?

Zhu Tiandao kept cursing inwardly. Wan Tiansheng was clearly trying to force him to reveal himself first. He was greatly displeased about this. Wouldn't that be an acknowledgment from him that Wan Tiansheng was better?

In his fury, he shouted at the Pseudo Invincible he was fighting, "Why are you still fighting me? Are you really tired of living?"

"Hahaha!"

The nether Pseudo Invincible laughed with amusement. Him? Tired of living? Zhu Tiandao should worry about his own afterlife instead.

The laughter further infuriated Zhu Tiandao.

He clenched his teeth in annoyance. He had believed that he was very patient. But a certain old turtle was a lot more patient than him. Just look at how that damn bastard was still patiently hiding in the shadows. First Divine, Lan Tian, First Profound, Xia Xiao'er...all those people had been exposed.

The Xia Family was indeed terrifyingly powerful. And this was still not enough for that bastard to reveal himself.

Fine, fine. Zhu Tiandao reached a decision. He would be the one to lure the third Invincible. With a snort, a massive tower disappeared in the faraway Great Ming before suddenly reappearing on the battlefield.

Hundred Dao Pagoda!

Zhu Tiandao stepped into the tower before anyone could react. Then, he casually tore space apart to reveal a tiny River of Time. A second Zhu Tiandao walked out and held the tower in his hand.

That alarmed the Pseudo Invincible he was facing. The Pseudo Invincible was just about to flee when he found his past body forcefully dragged out of him. The body reappeared in Zhu Tiandao's hand before it was crushed.

Wielding the tower with one hand, Zhu Tiandao slammed it down. The nether Pseudo Invincible roared desperately as he attempted to flee. Alas, it was too late.

A bright explosion erupted, followed by the appearance of a dropping moon.

A Pseudo Invincible had died before anyone could react.

This was the sixth Pseudo Invincible to die today.

Silence descended as everyone tried to process the latest death. One of the remaining Pseudo Invincibles howled madly, "Damn it! Zhu Tiandao! You..."

At the same time, the Pseudo Invincible who was locked in a battle with Qin Hao hurriedly made his escape.

That was a Pseudo Invincible from the goldsteel lion race. He was feeling greatly alarmed.

Of the three number twos, Xia Xiao'er had revealed his strength as a Pseudo Invincible before killing a tri-life body of a divine Pseudo Invincible. Ultimately, the divine was killed off by Niu Baidao.

And now, Zhu Tiandao, the seemingly weak number two, had instantly killed a Pseudo Invincible from the nether race after revealing himself as a Pseudo Invincible as well. What about the third number two on the battlefield, Qin Hao?

Qin Hao, who was on the verge of being beaten to death, blanked out. Huh? Had the beating stopped? He looked at Zhu Tiandao in confusion. He also looked at Marquis Xia in confusion.

Of the three number twos, was he the only real eighth-stage Sunmoon?

Originally, Marquis Xia was supposed to be an eighth-stage Sunmoon while Zhu Tiandao was supposed to be an early ninth-stage Sunmoon.

But now, Marquis Xia had unleashed the combat strength of a Pseudo Invincible and killed the tri-life body of a Pseudo Invincible. Zhu Tiandao was even crazier as he had killed a Pseudo Invincible instantly.

Of the seventeen enemy Pseudo Invincibles, six had perished. The rest of them were finally starting to feel fear.

Was this a joke? Humanity wasn't supposed to have even one Pseudo Invincible to spare here. That was why they had agreed on this endeavor.

But now...

The five elemental and primordial giant were feeling endless regret at getting involved in this mess.

Zhu Tiandao, Lan Tian, First Divine, Marquis Xia, Liu Wenyan, Niu Baidao...each of them was so strong it didn't make any sense. Sure, they represented the combat strength of only six Pseudo Invincibles, but they seemed capable of surpassing even the numerically superior enemies they were facing.

Just look at how First Divine was handling three opponents all by himself even as Lan Tian was giving a dragon the beating of his life. If this continued, more of them would perish. And the rest of them seemed just as impressive.

After killing a Pseudo Invincible, Zhu Tiandao hollered, "First Divine, no, Yun Chen, keep those three busy. I'll kill them all."

The three Pseudo Invincibles were alarmed to hear that.

First Divine alone was already an extremely tricky opponent to deal with. Zhu Tiandao seemed even stronger. If the two were allowed to join hands, it was likely that all three of them would perish.

Desperate, the immortal Pseudo Invincible roared, "I beseech the immortal king to grace us with his presence!"

"Sigh."

With a sigh, an ethereal expert appeared out of nowhere. He gazed at Zhu Tiandao and softly said, "Humanity...is indeed blessed by the heavens. Zhu Tiandao...what a surprise. Are you near dao affirmation?"

Zhu Tiandao was far stronger than he had any right to be.

One of his tri-life bodies was stored in the Hundred Dao Pagoda. It also felt like a second tri-life body was about to walk out of the River of Time.

Chapter 1222: There's Always Someone Better (3)

Su Yu was completely dumbfounded.

Was this really Zhu Tiandao?

Was this a joke?

Old Zhu had easily killed a Pseudo Invincible. If Old Zhu was so strong, why had he allowed himself to look so miserable earlier?

Zhu Tiandao looked at the immortal king and asked, "Are the immortals joining the war against us as well? Are you officially severing the alliance between humans and immortals?"

"I'm only here in my personal capacity." The immortal king said, "Zhu Tiandao, you have hidden yourself well. This is truly surprising."

Not far away, Niu Baidao laughed heartily, "Hidden himself well? Nonsense. I have been aware of this for a long time. Prefect, you've finally decided to stop hiding. I guess you should stop praising your genius elder brother in the future. Isn't it embarrassing to praise yourself all the time?"

Everyone blanked out.

The immortal king also blanked out slightly. His eyes lit up as he studied Zhu Tiandao. Finally, he said, "What an impressive scheme by Great Ming King. You have always been his sole son, right?"

Zhu Tiandao laughed, "What are you even talking about? I have an elder brother. He is much more capable than me. He has long affirmed his dao. Old Man, we only intended to kill the traitor. But since you insisted on interfering...let's have some fun together."

"I'll be glad to entertain you."

The immortal king smiled. The two vanished with a flicker. Like First Profound and his opponents, they had reappeared in a different dimension to conduct their battle. With his Hundred Dao Pagoda, Zhu Tiandao demonstrated an incredible level of combat strength. It almost seemed like he was suppressing the Invincible he was facing.

For some, that was a nightmarish scene. The myriad race experts were greatly horrified by what they were witnessing.

Holy shit!

Were these humans sick in their heads?

Did they have a fetish of hiding themselves for no good reason?

Even with such strength, they were still hiding. If it wasn't for the incident today, these people would have continued biding their time.

Zhu Tiandao was actually capable of contending against Invincibles. Even if the Invincible he fought was only here in a tri-life body, that was already a remarkable achievement.

First Profound was also quite impressive, even if he did not seem to have the upper hand in his fight. Meanwhile, Zhu Tiandao looked like he was actually suppressing the immortal king he was facing.

***

After so many reveals, everyone was shocked by the strength humanity had been hiding.

Inside the faraway hall.

The indistinct silhouette was very surprised as well. Zhu Tiandao! What a close call. Fortunately, the myriad races had sent a lot of experts over as well.

He frowned, wondering if it was going to start now.

***

At the same time.

Allheaven Battlefield.

After receiving the latest update of what was happening, Great Qin King was left quite speechless. With a sigh, he said, "Great Ming...and Great Ming King...These people..."

Zhu Tiandao was actually near dao affirmation.

"Scatter and get ready for your dao affirmations. Three Eternals have appeared in the Human Realm."

"Yes."

At that, they scattered in all directions. At the same time, one aura after another rose all over the Allheaven Battlefield.

An expert coldly said, "Humans, don't even dream of affirming your dao."

Great Qin King merely snorted. He shot Xia Longwu a glance and said, "Where are you affirming your dao?"

Xia Longwu replied with complete calm, "I'll go further. Since I don't want to disturb the others, I'll be going to the Sea of Stars."

Great Qin King nodded and ripped space apart to create a spatial tunnel leading to the Sea of Stars. The group started moving toward the Sea of Stars rapidly. All around them, one myriad race Invincible after another appeared, paying close attention to them.

Xia Longwu wanted to affirm his dao. They were not about to let him succeed. The number of Invincibles who had appeared was actually lower than expected. This was not only due to what the Xia Family was doing. Su Yu had also played a role, causing over ten Invincibles to lose their tri-life bodies during the chaos in the ancient city.

Nevertheless, the myriad races could still muster a considerable number of Invincibles for this task. They had initially planned to interfere with even the dao affirmations of those from the minor races. But they had given up on that in order to concentrate their effort against humanity.

The minor races wouldn't be a threat even if they could produce an Invincible or two. Humanity was the real threat here. This was a cumulation of humanity's hard work over several hundred years.

If the myriad races could eliminate the people attempting their dao affirmations today on top of those participating in the battle at Great Xia, this would be enough of a blow to keep humanity suppressed for a few more hundred years.

***

While the human Pseudo Invincibles were starting their dao affirmations.

Nanyuan.

Three Invincibles had appeared.

The surviving eleven Pseudo Invincibles were obviously relieved. Even so, they could still feel some lingering fear from earlier. Humanity was terrifying indeed. Not only was this race strong, but it was also filled with cunning schemers.

One hidden expert was acceptable. But they had gone over the top and produced multiple hidden experts in a row. It almost felt like it was humanity's second nature to plot and scheme. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel_fіre.net

Just how devious would they need to be to keep so many experts hidden until now?

As a coquettish giggle rang out in the ears of the dragon Pseudo Invincible, he finally couldn't take it anymore and roared for help, "Dragon King, I beseech you to grace me with your presence!"

At that, space tore apart and a massive white dragon appeared out of it.

The dragon king said nothing and swept his tail at Lan Tian. Countless Lan Tians were smashed apart. Nobody was surprised to see the appearance of yet another Invincible anymore. Too many Invincibles had appeared today.

Since the divine, devil, and immortal Invincibles were here, it wouldn't be too surprising to see a dragon Invincible here as well.

Initially, the dragon king had planned to wait longer and act only when the ruin fully emerged. Unfortunately for him, Lan Tian proved too much for the dragon Pseudo Invincible to handle, forcing him to make a move earlier than intended.

After pushing Lan Tian back, the dragon king scanned the battlefield and asked coldly, "Any other trump cards? This is truly surprising, humans. But this is the end for you. Don't even dream of leaving with your lives after revealing yourself."

The dragon king couldn't help but feel glad that so many Invincibles had arrived. They would have suffered a terrible defeat otherwise.

Suddenly, the air warped as a golden-masked individual flickered into existence. After looking around, he issued a command, "All pavilion members, gather around me."

The third elder was overjoyed.

Finally, the Yellow Department head had arrived. He hurriedly complained, "Lord, the eighth elder has been killed. First Profound is Nan Wujiang. I suspect that the Profound Department head...is not to be trusted as well..."

Overjoyed, the various pavilion members started moving toward the department head. Finally, their backer had arrived.

Previously, they were feeling quite confident with their Pseudo Invincibles. But as the humans had been able to produce one trump card after another, they couldn't help but start worrying about themselves.

Even an expert like the third elder was starting to fear for his life. Nobody knew if the humans would produce yet another expert capable of contending against Invincibles. With the order of their department head, the pavilion experts did not hesitate to withdraw from the battlefield.

The head said, "The pavilion shall stay neutral for this conflict. We were only here for the Culture Tomb. There is no need for you to view us as enemies, humans. We will be withdrawing from this battle..."

The third elder and the others didn't even object to this. Things were starting to get too dangerous for their taste. The humans were too simply terrifying.

While Su Yu was approaching the group hesitantly, the department head looked at him and said, "Profound Nine, there is no need for you to join us. Are you...even Profound Nine?"

The third elder hurriedly supplemented, "Head, he might not be Profound Nine. It is very likely that he's a human..."

He was not saying that Profound Nine was Su Yu, but he was quite sure that Profound Nine was a human. Even if he had seen Profound Nine's so-called real appearance before, he couldn't be sure if what he saw was the truth anymore. In fact, he was starting to suspect the entire Profound Department.

The Yellow Department head nodded, "The Profound Department head is still completely silent about this. Those in the headquarters are probably investigating him right about now. Since something might happen internally soon, we can't afford to lose more of our strength here."

"You're right, Lord."

With the arrival of a backer, the pavilion members felt a lot more confident.

With the withdrawal of dozens of Sunmoons, the pressure on humanity dropped considerably. The dragon king frowned and asked, "Are you pulling back?"

The department head asked, "Will you agree to hand me the Culture Tomb if we remain?"

"No."

The dragon king laughed. This wasn't a bad thing. With the withdrawal of the pavilion, there would be far less competition over the Culture Tomb. This department head was not weak at all. He wouldn't mind seeing such a competitor departing.

Before long, all the pavilion experts were gathered around the department head. All of them were glad to still be alive. This little mission had turned out a lot more dangerous than anticipated.

The third elder moved closer to the head and asked, "Head, we've suffered disastrous losses. Are we...going to withdraw now?"

He didn't even care about the carrier treasures anymore. He only wanted to get out of this dangerous place.

The department head nodded, "Yes. Enter my Flying Celestial Pagoda. I'll carry all of you out of the Human Realm."

As he said that, a massive pagoda appeared in front of them.

Seeing that the head was offering to take them away, they all flew into the pagoda. Since they did not know any safe tunnel they could use to leave the Human Realm, they could only rely on the department head.

It was worth noting that the pagoda was also a heaven-grade weapon.

When all of them had entered the pagoda, the department head looked around again and said, "The pavilion does not intend to get involved in this matter. We will be taking our leave now. Profound Nine, you will stay behind while you're under investigation. We will have someone here to pick you up at a later date."

That was music to Su Yu's ears. He certainly didn't feel like going with this suspicious department head either. That thought had barely crossed his mind when the department head shrank the pagoda, turned around...

And tossed it at the dragon king.

The Sunmoons in the pagoda panicked instantly as they felt a burst of power that had abruptly ignited all the source qi in their bodies.

The third elder exclaimed in horror, "Head..."

Just what was going on?

Boom!

A thunderous explosion erupted. It almost felt like the explosion was loud enough to be heard throughout the Myriad Realms.

A rain of moons started falling from the sky.

Followed by a burst of power, shockwaves rippled out from the center of the explosion. The tri-life body of the dragon king had been blown apart. The dragon Pseudo Invincible behind him had been downright killed by the explosion.

That explosion had claimed the lives of a Pseudo Invincible, ten elders, two newly joined seventh-stage Sunmoons, and even more Sunmoons.

One could only imagine just how powerful that explosion had been. If the department head hadn't kept the impact of the explosion under control, it might have flattened Nanyuan or even Great Xia as well.

In the midst of the raining moons, the dragon king roared as he reappeared in a new body. With boundless fury, he asked, "How dare you kill my past body! Damn you! Damn you! Who are you?"

Before he could say more, he was dragged into a different dimension by the department head. At this point, the myriad races were starting to shiver in fear. Should they flee?

At the start, they had hundreds of Sunmoons on their side, with the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion being the biggest group among them. But now, the group of pavilion experts had been wiped out.

One Pseudo Invincible, more than ten seventh-stage Sunmoons, and dozens more Sunmoons of various levels had all died in the hands of the department head.

***

At the same time.

Boundless void.

The main hall of Heavenly Hunt Pavilion headquarters shook.

A miserable voice rang out, "The four departments...have been crippled."

They had lost a large number of their elites.

Yellow Department head!

"Is the Profound Department not going to answer for this?"

A different person sighed and said, "What is there to answer? I know nothing about First Profound. Nor am I aware of what's going on in the Yellow Department. What am I supposed to answer for?"

The Profound Department head sighed regretfully.

Silence descended.

Nobody knew what to say.

This was a disastrous loss.

The four departments were as good as crippled. The Yellow Department head had betrayed them, and even the Profound Department head couldn't be trusted anymore. The Heaven Department head was still in slumber. The Earth Department was the only department that was still untouched.

However, one couldn't help but wonder if there were more problematic members in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.

The Yellow Department head was too ruthless.

One couldn't help but shiver at the ruthlessness he had displayed.

He had first lured dozens of Sunmoons into a heaven-grade weapon before detonating the weapon with everyone in it. The resulting explosion had even killed a dragon Pseudo Invincible and the tri-life body of a dragon Invincible.
