Half a quarter-hour ago.
When Shangyuan Nation fell into disaster, the Great Jin Dynasty received the news immediately. Dongfang Liuli knew who that deity was, but the Salt Fish had already gone against all objections and personally rushed over.
Why did Huotu suddenly descend upon Shangyuan Nation at this time?
Could something unexpected have happened?
Dongfang Liuli immediately grew tense. This concerned the revival of the gods. No matter how much strategy she had, facing a being only known in legends and myths, she felt uncertain and didn’t know how powerful the deity truly was.
“Your Majesty, if you’re worried, why not go and see for yourself?” Su Qingqiu suggested.
As a sword cultivator, missing the famous battle between the Space-Time Sword Saint and an ancient deity would be a lifelong regret. Su Qingqiu appeared particularly eager.
“But the Empress’ Husband warned us to stay and guard Great Jin. I’m worried that going there rashly might distract him,” Dongfang Liuli said, bewildered.
At these words, a voice rang out:
“The mighty Empress of Great Jin, recognized by the Wilderness’ fate, chosen by the Heavenly Dao as the Human Emperor, once claimed to be a peerless emperor, even making me eat humble pie. How can you now lose your ambition?”
The space rippled like water, and Sister Qiong stepped out from the void, speaking calmly:
“You are the Master’s only companion and the emperor of Great Jin. The Master didn’t want you to follow because he feared you might get hurt.”
“But with me here, there’s nothing to worry about. As the City Lord, I might not be able to defeat Huotu, but when it comes to escaping, even ten Huotus tied together couldn’t catch me. After all, he’s only just recovered to the initial stage of the Sky-Reaching Realm, while I am the master of space.”
“If anything unexpected happens, I’ll take you and run. What are you afraid of?”
Sister Qiong raised an eyebrow, looking in the direction of Shangyuan Nation, and asked, “Are we going or not? Let’s go and take a look.”
Upon hearing this, Su Qingqiu and Wu Die turned their heads expectantly towards Dongfang Liuli. They feared nothing and only wanted to witness the Master’s invincible prowess.
The first deity to revive in ten thousand years!
The Master might slay a god this time, leaving a significant mark in the vast river of history. If they didn’t see it with their own eyes, they might regret it on their deathbeds.
“Let’s go!” Dongfang Liuli took a deep breath and said.
She also wanted to see it. After careful consideration, she thought that the Great Jin Dynasty was no longer the fragile kingdom on the verge of collapse. It no longer needed the emperor’s personal guard to oversee the Wilderness’ heroes, and there was basically no risk.
“That’s more like it.”
Sister Qiong’s red lips curved slightly, and with a wave of her delicate hand, the space folded, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived near Shangyuan Nation.
They had just arrived when they saw Huotu being punched away and then being dragged off by Meng Qingzhou.
“Was that guy Huotu just now? He didn’t seem that impressive,” Su Qingqiu said, pouting as she hadn’t even seen him clearly.
Wu Die blinked and pondered, “From what I observed, it seemed like Huotu was avoiding the Master, being chased all the way to Shangyuan Nation.”
Saying this, Wu Die’s eyes widened in shock, and she said blankly, “A deity of the Sky-Reaching Realm!”
“Being chased by the Master??!”
“Did I see that wrong?”
Sister Qiong shook her head solemnly and said, “No, you didn’t see wrong. The Master’s current state is very unusual. Even though he’s only at the peak of the Morning Glow Realm, the true strength he’s displaying can rival the Sky-Reaching Realm.”
Unbelievable!
A Morning Glow battling a Sky-Reaching, and not just any Sky-Reaching, but a high-level deity who had witnessed the scenery of the Sky-Reaching Realm and had once been personally suppressed by the first Human Emperor!
Wu Die pretended to be curious and asked, “Sister Qiong, do you think you could beat the Master?”
Hearing this, Sister Qiong’s thoughts paused, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her pretty face:
“Why ask so many questions? Let’s follow and watch the battle.”
With that, the four women disappeared again, following all the way to the southern edge of the Wilderness, to a desolate battlefield near the sea.
Su Qingqiu saw the Sunlight Lord crouching on the ground, his towering figure enormous, but compared to this scarred and battered land, he seemed insignificant.
The territories of the coastal nations were completely shattered, mountains and rivers were no more, the universe was overturned, all things were annihilated, and even the heavens seemed broken, as if returning to chaos.
It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying battle had taken place here.
The four women were speechless, their eyes wide with shock.
Even Sister Qiong and Dongfang Liuli looked at each other and couldn’t speak for a long time.
“Half a month ago, when he faced the Buddha, he didn’t have this kind of power. Otherwise, he would have already beaten that bald donkey into the ground,” Sister Qiong said.
The original intention of saying this was curiosity about how Meng Qingzhou had grown so much in such a short time.
But the keen Su Qingqiu immediately sensed something was wrong and said with a ghostly look in her eyes:
“Hey.”
“Haven’t you been traveling? How do you know so much about what’s happening around the Master?”
Saying this, Su Qingqiu paused slightly, squinting her beautiful eyes and asking, “Could it be that your so-called traveling the mountains and rivers is actually following the Master?”
Sister Qiong was startled, her eyes flickering, and she laughed dryly, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Besides, the Master’s fame has spread far and wide, and his deeds are known throughout the Wilderness. I’m not deaf; how could I not know?”
Su Qingqiu squinted her eyes, still suspicious, “Oh? Is that so~”
Who would believe that!
Look at your guilty face.
Suddenly, Wu Die pointed in a direction and called out, “Look over there! The Master and Huotu.”
The four women quickly looked in the direction she pointed, and immediately, the earth trembled violently, as if a creator god was pushing the entire universe.
The terrifying pressure made it hard for them to breathe.
Dongfang Liuli’s eyes were filled with worry. She immediately released the Imperial Dao Heavenly Book to create a protective barrier. When she saw Meng Qingzhou unharmed and taking out a blood-stained cloth to trap Huotu, she let out a long sigh of relief.
“Thank goodness…” Sister Qiong said nonchalantly, but she was secretly patting her chest in relief.
Facing an ancient deity, even the most absolute confidence seemed pale. It was all just an excuse to comfort oneself.
To have ruled over all beings from the dawn of time until the ancient era, even the first Human Emperor had to bet everything when the great structure was about to collapse, becoming the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
One could imagine how terrifying the gods’ foundations were.
“Hey! I saw the Buddha peeking. For some reason, that bald donkey was staring straight at the cloth the Master took out, his donkey eyes almost popping out,” Sister Qiong laughed.
At this moment, Meng Qingzhou, who had been advancing triumphantly, suddenly weakened and then sat cross-legged on the ground. His state rapidly declined, and Huotu placed a large hand on his head, as if to end his life.
Dongfang Liuli’s face turned pale, and she rushed out without hesitation, “Qingzhou!!”
