Chapter 1916
In the eyes of the Shui Family Patriarch, Zi Chen's request was simply unreasonable.
In the Martial Heaven Continent, who didn't know that the five elements aristocratic families possessed the Heavenly Book? Who didn't know that the Heavenly Book was one of their trump cards?
"Impossible."
The patriarch refused without the slightest hesitation.
The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive. Waves of Heaven Realm aura landed on the Shui family's patriarch, causing his face to turn pale. A cold light flashed in his eyes. "What do you want to do?" asked the patriarch in a low voice.
Zi Chen smiled indifferently. "I don't want to do anything. Since you don't want to borrow anything, I feel like there's no need for this city to appear here."
The patriarch's expression changed. "Zi Chen, don't go too far! This is the five elements aristocratic family!"
Looking at the patriarch's cold expression, Zi Chen shrugged helplessly. "Since you've said that, there's no room for reconciliation. Lv Peng, set up the formation and slaughter the city. Once there's no one left alive, we'll personally go get the Heavenly Book."
Lv Peng smiled. "It's just a city. No problem. I guarantee it won't take more than four hours."
The two of them spoke indifferently, but the patriarch knew that they weren't joking. Adding on their enmity from many years ago, slaughtering an entire city was something they could do.
A mysterious fluctuation spread from Lv Peng's body, enveloping the entire city. The destructive power of a pseudo Heaven Formation Master was unimaginable.
The city below sensed it, and a barrier of light appeared.
Many cultivators walked out of the city. Sensing the dangerous aura in the sky, they were filled with shock.
"Is he going to slaughter the city?"
"Why? Why is the legendary Zi Chen slaughtering the city?"
"..."
Cries of horror kept coming out from the city. Seeing that the situation was not looking good, some cultivators attempted to flee the city. However, Lv Peng had already sealed off the entire city and no one could escape.
The entire city instantly fell into a state of chaos.
Looking at the chaotic city and hearing the commotion, the expression of the Shui Clan Leader grew increasingly unsightly. He glanced at Zi Chen, only to see a faint smile on Zi Chen's face. However, his eyes were filled with killing intent. Forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, the Shui Clan Leader roared, "Fine, consider yourself ruthless."
After he finished speaking, the patriarch of the Shui Clan turned around and flew back to his clan. A moment later, he reappeared with a golden piece of paper in his hand.
This page of the Heavenly Book was exactly the same as the one Zi Chen had obtained before, except that the things recorded on it were different.
After receiving the Heavenly Book, Zi Chen sensed the Water Cultivation Method recorded in the Heavenly Book, as well as the unique material, and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he put the Heavenly Book into his own world.
"You …"
When the Shui Clan Patriarch saw this, his expression changed again, but he didn't say anything. Clearly, he had expected this to happen.
When the Heavenly Book entered the world, the entire world reacted and trembled slightly.
This was the first time in five hundred years that the world trembled slightly. This made Zi Chen very happy. Perhaps after obtaining the five pages of the Heavenly Book, he would be able to break through again.
"Farewell."
Cupping his fists and smiling at the Shui Clan Leader, Zi Chen turned and went to the second clan of the Five Elements Family.
With the pressure dissipated, the cultivators in the city no longer panicked and let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the departing figures, the Shui Clan Leader sneered, "So what if you took the Heavenly Book? The Heavenly Book can only be in this world and is of no use to an individual. Before you can establish another Five Elements Family, our experts will descend."
Because of the great era, the atmosphere of the entire Zhan Wu Continent was very tense. Therefore, the Five Elements Family had spread the news early on that once someone entered the Heaven Realm, they must report to the Zhan Wu Continent.
This was also the reason why there was only one Heaven realm expert in the Shui Family.
…
…
Zhan Wu Continent, Five Elements Family.
The five Heaven Realm family leaders were sitting together and discussing.
"From the information we've received in these years, the most likely person to be a Heaven Defier is Zi Chen of the Sky Martial Continent."
With the great changes in the world, the news of Heaven Defiers appearing was no longer a secret. Many forces were investigating and searching for Heaven Defiers.
"Zi Chen of the Sky Martial Continent."
Hearing the Mu Clan Leader's words, the Shui Clan Leader frowned slightly, "Don't Heaven Defiers appear from the Zhan Wu Continent? How could they be from the Sky Martial Continent?"
At the head of the table, the Jin Clan Leader said, "Regarding Heaven Defiers, there's no rule that says they have to come from the Zhan Wu Continent. Zi Chen's fighting power is extremely strong. Since he appeared in the Zhan Wu Continent, he has been fighting across realms. The most suspicious thing is that he can easily kill the Undying Sovereign."
"Isn't that because of the Myriad Origin Cauldron?" asked the Shui Clan Leader.
"The Myriad Origin Cauldron is one thing, but according to the information we've received, Zi Chen can kill the Undying Sovereign without using the Myriad Origin Cauldron. Of course, all of this is just speculation, and it can't be confirmed."
The Tu Clan Leader, who had been silent all this time, said, "Since it's suspicious, we can't act rashly. Now that Zi Chen is in the Sky Martial Continent, we can't bring a lot of people down. The world has become extremely unstable, and the foreign races can invade at any time. Danger will fall on our Five Elements Family at any time."
The Water, Fire, and Mu Clan Leaders nodded.
The atmosphere in the Zhan Wu Continent was very heavy, and a war might come at any time.
The Jin Clan Leader was silent, obviously unable to make a decision.
If the Heaven Defier was really Zi Chen, they could go down to the lower realms without any scruples and kill Zi Chen, taking away the Myriad Origin Cauldron. Even if they offended the Four Saints, they could use the excuse of being a Heaven Defier.
If Zi Chen wasn't a Heaven Defier, they might anger the Four Saints if they acted rashly against Zi Chen.
Among the Four Saints, they had only seen Saint Rosefinch. As for the other three Saints, they had no idea. Maybe one of them was still in the Sky Martial Continent.
Now, they could only guess that Zi Chen was a Heaven Defier, and couldn't confirm it.
Just as the five of them couldn't make a decision, a cultivator suddenly rushed in and whispered something to the Shui Clan Leader.
"Damn it."
The Shui Clan Leader was furious, and his face turned ashen.
"What's the matter?" The four of them looked at each other in surprise.
"That damned Zi Chen, we haven't even gone to find trouble with him, and he actually took the initiative to provoke us. That guy has already snatched the Water Page Heavenly Book, and is now going to the Tu Clan." The Shui Clan Leader said coldly.
"Zi Chen is actually snatching the Heavenly Book."
The faces of the Clan Leaders were obviously ugly, but the Jin Clan Leader had a smile on his face when he heard this, "The Heavens are really helping me. I was just worried that I couldn't find a reason to act against Zi Chen. Since he took the initiative to come to us, then don't blame us for being impolite. Go and inform them to cooperate, we will wait for Zi Chen in the Jin Clan."
The entire Five Elements Family began to move, wanting to act against Zi Chen. This time, it wasn't about the Heaven Defier, but about justice.
Just as the Five Elements Family was about to move, in the nine continents of the Zhan Wu Continent, beams of light descended from the sky.
These beams of light came from all directions, and after they appeared, they were quickly destroyed by a group of experts. However, a beam of light that forcefully entered the mountain peak, because of its extremely obscure fluctuation, escaped the perception of the experts.
This beam of light stayed in the mountain peak for a while, and then a mysterious fluctuation spread out. This fluctuation spread out in all directions, and the rocks inside the mountain peak immediately turned into powder.
The fluctuation completely spread out, like a huge crack, and at the same time, a mysterious energy was sent back to the sky.
"Not good."
Hundreds of thousands of miles away, a cold-faced middle-aged man's expression instantly changed. He looked up at the sky, and the energy fluctuation was rushing to the sky.
"Boom!"
He instantly appeared outside the mountain peak, and the entire mountain peak suddenly exploded, and the source of the energy fluctuation dissipated.
"It's impossible to guard against."
The energy source exploded and was destroyed, but the energy fluctuation had already been sent back. The invasion of the foreign race who had obtained the accurate coordinates was only a matter of time.
"Sigh, I can only let everyone be on guard. I hope that this generation's Heaven Defier won't let us down."
The middle-aged man turned around and headed towards the human city.
…
…
In the Zhan Wu Continent, Zi Chen headed towards his second target, the Tu Family.
Just like the previous situation, the Heaven Realm pressured the city, and threatened with the lives of all the cultivators in the city. The Tu Family's patriarch also agreed decisively after a slight hesitation.
This was something that Zi Chen had already expected. After all, in everyone's understanding, the Heavenly Book was something that would never dissipate. Even if it was given away today, when the experts descended in the future, they would be able to get it back.
Moreover, the news had already spread to the Zhan Wu Continent, and they had already received feedback. They said that after a slight delay, they would give it away without revealing any flaws.
As the Earth Page Heavenly Book entered the world, the entire world trembled again. This time, the trembling was even more obvious.
"Let's go to the third house."
The two pages of the Heavenly Book fluttered in the sky, but because the five elements were not in harmony, the five powers became disconnected.
The third house was the Huo Family. The patriarch of the Huo Family had already received the news and was waiting outside. When he saw Zi Chen arrive, he said coldly, "Zi Chen, by doing this, you clearly don't put our Five Elements Aristocratic Families in your eyes."
This sentence was obviously nonsense. Zi Chen had never put the Five Elements Aristocratic Families in his eyes. The patriarch of the Huo Family obediently handed the Fire Page Heavenly Book to Zi Chen.
After the Huo Family was the Mu Family. They had already obtained three pages of the Heavenly Book. The patriarch of the Mu Family did not make any useless resistance and handed over the Mu Family's Heavenly Book.
He had already collected four pages of the Heavenly Book, and only the Jin Family was left.
The Jin Family was the strongest among the Five Elements Aristocratic Families. Zi Chen chose this place as his last stop, and there might be another battle here.
With such a big matter happening, the Jin Family naturally received the news. Before arriving at the city, Zi Chen saw the patriarch of the Jin Family and the three Heaven Realm experts.
Seeing Zi Chen from afar, the patriarch of the Jin Family said coldly, "Zi Chen, you have to think clearly. Today, you took away the Heavenly Book and completely offended the Five Elements Aristocratic Families."
