Chapter 1525: The Cursed Snake vs. the Four Artifact Spirits
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A huge wars.h.i.+p was flying across the vast starry sky. Its speed was very fast, and as it moved forward, the void was constantly being crushed. Rivers of stars were flowing, and the light of the stars around the wars.h.i.+p became very dim as they rapidly moved backward, forming a dream-like picture.
On the wars.h.i.+p stood a bare-chested young man. His body was not very strong, but he looked handsome, and there was a sharpness in his eyes, which seemed powerful enough to destroy mountains and rivers. There seemed to be supreme power in his seemingly weak body as well.
“Tai Shan, how long before we arrive in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty?” asked the young man as he put his hands behind his back and watched the stars flas.h.i.+ng by.
A figure stepped slowly out of the wars.h.i.+p. It was a burly man with short-cropped hair. His bulging muscles and the dense tattoos all over his body showed his fierceness.
“At the speed of our t.i.tan wars.h.i.+p, we’ll arrive in about one day…” Tai Shan said. He looked much calmer without turning into a giant of ten thousand feet tall.
“Another day? I have no objection to the Xiayi Divine Emperor having Tai Hang arrested, but the members of our emissary group died one after another after that, and even my son Tai Fei died as well… I cannot let this matter go so easily. I need an explanation from Xia Yuhe,” said the young man.
“That old man Xia Yuhe is really an old sly fox. I can’t believe he actually conjured up a monstrous creature that could threaten the Chaotic Universe, lured many of our geniuses over, and ended up getting them all killed… Fortunately, we didn’t send Tai Hao…” Tai Shan breathed a sigh of relief and looked thankful.
Tai Hao was the crown prince of the t.i.tan Divine Dynasty. Although Tai Fei’s talent was amazing, he was nowhere near as good as Tai Hao. Of the three divine dynasties’ crown princes, Tai Shan believed that their crown prince was definitely the strongest.
The wars.h.i.+p rumbled as it flew at high speed. A jet of powerful energy kept spewing out from its tail, distorting the void.
Experts of the G.o.d Emperor realm could travel long distances through the void, but this would consume a lot of energy. Therefore, under normal circ.u.mstances, when G.o.d Emperors wanted to travel from one divine dynasty to another, they would choose to take wars.h.i.+ps. As a means of transportation in the Chaotic Universe, wars.h.i.+ps naturally had their reasons for existence.
Suddenly, the t.i.tan Divine Emperor frowned and focused his eyes on the distant void. His gaze seemed to turn into a sword that was going to tear the sky apart. “Who on earth is spying on me? Get out of here, you sneaky things!” he snapped icily.
As soon as those words left his mouth, the t.i.tan Divine Emperor moved. He raised his hand, in which countless Laws flickered, each one appeared to be perfect. Immediately, a terrible aura rushed into the sky and turned into a huge palm, slapping in that direction.
With a loud bang, the void exploded into a vast ruin filled with spatial turbulence. Wisps of black smoke flowed out of it and soon formed several figures in the sky. There were men and women among them, all of whom surrounded by dense rolling black smoke.
“Hmm?! Are you lying in ambush to attack me?” the t.i.tan Divine Emperor said coldly as he narrowed his eyes. As the youngest of the three divine emperors, his strength was not the strongest, but he was in his prime, which made it difficult for him to be sneaked up on by these furtive fellows.
The figures in the spatial turbulence laughed coldly, sticking out their tongues and licking their lips.
“A big fish at last… I can already feel the powerful energy and blood in him! After devouring him, we may have a chance to break through to the Soul Overlord realm!” a handsome man said with a chuckle. He looked friendly, but what he said was creepy.
“Soul Three, haven’t you had enough? This fish is too big for you to swallow alone,” said a charming woman. She was wearing a very thin gauze dress, through which her long, fair legs could be vaguely seen.
“What’s there to be worried about, Soul Four? Aren’t you here to share with us? After devouring so many great worlds, our strength has finally reached this level… It’s time to start slaughtering!” said a figure who looked like a child.
The three strangers standing amid spatial turbulence laughed creepily at the same time.
One after another, the experts of the t.i.tan Divine Dynasty came up to the wars.h.i.+p’s deck, looking up at the sky with blazing eyes. “These three fellows are too… lawless! How could they call His Majesty a fish?!”
Tai Shan was the first to act. Roaring, he shot up into the sky, his body growing to ten thousand feet tall like a real t.i.tan. Then, he raised a huge palm, which seemed strong enough to shatter the stars, and slapped it toward the three strangers.
The strangers, standing in the middle of the spatial turbulence and shrouded by black smoke, burst out laughing. All of a sudden, their appearances changed dramatically, transforming into three monstrous beasts wrapped in black smoke. The next moment, they bolted toward Tai Shan and the wars.h.i.+p at the same time.
…
In the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital, dark clouds were gathering in the sky. It was as if a thunderstorm was about to descend and bring great terror.
In the palace, the Divine Emperor sat alone on his throne. He had dismissed all the eunuchs and maidservants. He did not move but breathed out a long sigh with a hint of a lonely look in his eyes.
“It’s almost here… The calamity is coming soon… I wonder if my Xiayi Divine Dynasty could survive this great tribulation…”
He raised his hand and looked at it. There were black spots on the back of his hand, and a strong aura of death was spreading across his face.
“After living for so many years, I’ve already taken life and death lightly. It’s time to throw all caution to the wind and try to break through to the HeavenG.o.d realm… As to whether I will live or die in the end, I’ll leave it to fate.”
Xia Yuhe rose to his feet and shook his golden imperial robe. A mighty aura exploded out of him, thrusting up like a spear as if it was going to pierce a hole in the sky. Step by step, he walked out of the great hall, put his hands behind his back, and stood outside the door, staring at the cloudy sky. At this moment, the world seemed to fall silent.
…
In the ancient HeavenG.o.d’s relic, everyone was dumbfounded as they watched the scene that took place in the distance. Bu Fang was hovering in midair, and Nethery bit him in the neck.
That was right, he was bitten.
Why didn’t he dodge? The girl was possessed by the dead woman, and she was no longer a living human. Was he going to become a puppet controlled by that dead woman as well?
Everyone knew the horror of that dead woman. Just a short while ago, she killed Yu Qiu and Xuan Kong, who were ranked on the G.o.d King List, with only a snap of her fingers. Such strength was simply astounding, and it filled everyone’s heart with fear.
But Bu Fang, a mere DemiG.o.d, was bitten by her. No one knew what would happen.
Luo Sanniang covered her mouth with her hands, despairing. Summer, on the other hand, focused her eyes and watched intently. In the distance, Lord Dog smacked his mouth, no longer in surprise but in antic.i.p.ation. ‘Is Bu Fang boy going to die just like this? No, I don’t think so…’
Directly across from him, the number one on the G.o.d King List was rubbing his hands excitedly.
Hovering in midair, Nethery’s eyes flashed with a ghostly green light. This was the sign that the dead woman’s consciousness was attacking Bu Fang’s spirit sea.
The dead woman’s consciousness was the most powerful one Bu Fang had ever seen. It was so horrible that it simply took one’s breath away. As the tsunami-like green consciousness washed over him, his spirit sea rumbled under the overwhelming pressure.
In his spirit sea, monstrous waves rose up high, and a terrifying aura filled the air. Bu Fang’s consciousness appeared in midair, staring at the green tsunami in the distance that was sweeping out in all directions like a wanton predator. The four Artifact Spirits had to release their aura to suppress the spirit sea—only then did the tsunami stopped its advance.
With a humming sound, a graceful figure emerged over the ghostly green tsunami. It was not Nethery, but the dead woman. She looked quite beautiful, and with her eyes open now, she appeared like a peerless beauty.
The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched as he looked at the dead woman. He really did not expect her mental force to be so fearsome, and because of that, he almost got himself killed this time. However, he was not afraid. His spirit sea was his biggest strength. In here, he should be able to fight her.
The dead woman wanted to take control of Nethery’s body, which he could not allow to happen. To take over a person’s body, one must erase the body’s original consciousness. Only then could the body be flawlessly occupied.
This was especially true when the dead woman and Nethery were of the same origin. Otherwise, the repulsive force produced by Nethery would make the dead woman suffer greatly.
“What a powerful spirit sea… This… I’ve never seen anything like this before…” Hovering over the tsunami, the dead woman looked around in horror. Finally, she fixed her eyes on Bu Fang’s consciousness in the distance.
This was a silent confrontation, extremely dangerous.
Outside, everything was frozen. No one dared to move. The horror of the dead woman was there for all to see. They were afraid that if they moved, they would attract her attention, and then a green cursed snake would fall and kill them. So, they could only wait for the outcome of the confrontation between her and Bu Fang before they could decide whether to move or not.
But could Bu Fang defeat her? The gap between their strength was simply too…huge. Bu Fang was very talented, but he was just a DemiG.o.d. The dead woman, on the other hand, could easily kill Yu Qiu and Xuan Kong! Judging by this, she might well have reached the level of a G.o.d Emperor!
G.o.d Emperor was the peak of the G.o.d King realm. They were supreme existences, so they were called emperors. They had comprehended at least three thousand Laws, and all these Laws were perfected, not some half-baked Laws.
He who reached the peak of the king would become the emperor. Moreover, the most basic requirement of becoming a HeavenG.o.d was to comprehend three thousand Laws. But this alone could not guarantee success, and that was why the Divine Emperor had not become a HeavenG.o.d after living for so many years.
It was too difficult to become a HeavenG.o.d. There were only five of them in today’s Chaotic Universe, and they had relied on the five supreme Laws of the Universe to become HeavenG.o.ds. For others who wished to do the same, it was as difficult as to scale the heavens!
Whether the dead woman had reached the G.o.d Emperor realm, Bu Fang did not know. However, he could feel that her spiritual pressure was no weaker than that of the Xiayi Divine Emperor. In fact, it was even stronger!
At this moment, Bu Fang was facing an unprecedented crisis.
The dead woman glanced around at Bu Fang’s spirit sea with a touch of greed on her stunningly beautiful face. She found that his physical body was even better than Nethery’s cursed body!
“Unbelievable… I can’t believe there is such a fearsome spirit sea in this world! Could this be the legendary HeavenG.o.d’s foundation?!” she said, her voice ringing through Bu Fang’s spirit sea and pounding at his consciousness.
Suddenly, the dead woman moved. Her divine sense surged, and the ghostly green light was constantly spreading from her to invade Bu Fang’s spirit sea. At the same time, a stream of ghostly green energy rose into the sky and turned into a huge cursed snake.
Bu Fang felt a threat. With a thought, the four Artifact Spirits roared furiously, unleashed their supreme power, and hovered behind him, facing the colossal cursed snake. The snake was so huge that it overshadowed the four Artifact Spirits!
For a moment, the atmosphere in Bu Fang’s spirit sea became extremely tense!
