Volume 1, Chapter 438 – The Supremes Enter the Realm

Upon hearing Yang Supreme’s words, the other Supremes were all taken aback, each harboring different thoughts.

Without entering the Qiongluo Realm, they would gain no war points. In this war mission, they might very well not even get a sip of the broth.

Given Yang Supreme’s strength, which ranked near the bottom among those on this expedition, the others immediately understood. One less person competing for war points was undoubtedly a good thing.

“Then we’ll have to trouble you, Yang Supreme. If anything changes, please send word at once. We can arrive in an instant.”

After saying this, Emperor Yuan turned and headed toward the Qiongluo Realm.

The Giant Spirit King had already gone ahead. Even after shrinking his body, he was still several thousand zhang tall, like an ancient god as he descended into the Qiongluo Realm.

Yang Supreme stood quietly in the starry sky, watching the backs of the departing Supremes as he silently muttered to himself,

“I only hope you all meet your calamities soon, so that this Supreme can head back home.”

Achieving the Dao was no easy thing. He treasured the Dao Fruit he had obtained through a lifetime of caution. If not forced into it, he would never have risked himself in this venture.

…

“Shriek—”

A clear cry echoed through the high heavens. Hidden on Chi Junyu’s back, nestled among feathers that seemed forged from immortal metal, Shi Lan could not help but feel a profound sense of safety.

Chi Junyu was incredibly fast, covering hundreds of thousands of li in the blink of an eye. In only a short while, it found the main force of the Reincarnation Hall army.

A white tiger, covered from head to toe in wounds, lay sprawled across the wasteland. Its beastly eyes were full of exhaustion, and beneath one claw it pinned half of a mutilated corpse.

Battle-blood was splashed across the wasteland, soaking into the soil and giving rise to countless spiritual materials and precious herbs. The divine power contained within that blood alone was enough to show how terrifyingly strong its owner had been in life.

Around the white tiger, nearly a million troops had gathered. The auras of powerful experts rose and fell one after another, with no shortage of eighth-tier supreme powerhouses among them.

Chi Junyu was somewhat anxious.

“You go save it. I’ll help you hold off the pursuers.”

After a brief discussion, Shi Lan leaped from Chi Junyu’s back, raised a hand to open up a layer of space, and hid within it.

Chi Junyu no longer concealed its form and dove from the sky like a streak of crimson light, flashing past in an instant.

The white tiger had long since sensed its approach and did not resist, allowing Chi Junyu to seize it and flee toward the horizon.

The many experts of the Reincarnation Hall reacted in an instant. But before they could tear open space and pursue, a streak of light suddenly flashed above the army, dropping a black bead.

Rumble—!

A sheet of world-ending lightning erupted in an instant, drowning the heavens like heavenly punishment. Countless bolts of thunder roared like savage beasts, numbing the ears. Sheets of electric light spread in all directions, crushing endless mountain ranges and deep valleys, sending dust billowing into the sky.

Even the vault of heaven was split apart. Lightning danced wildly, as though the entire world had been dragged into a violent inferno of thunder.

Standing above the clouds, Shi Lan looked at the scene before her, unable to conceal the shock in her eyes. The power of the World-Ending Divine Thunder was countless times greater than the Solar Flare.

The Reincarnation Hall army was wholly swallowed up and reduced to ash. Everything within a radius of hundreds of thousands of li had become a scorched wasteland.

Only after nearly half an hour did the lightning gradually dissipate, and only a scant few survivors remained.

Anyone who could survive such violent thunder needed no explanation of their strength.

Once the lightning subsided, Chi Junyu repeated the same trick, returning with the white tiger.

The white tiger’s power clearly far surpassed Chi Junyu’s. Even with its grievously wounded body, the few eighth-tier experts left behind by the Reincarnation Hall were no match for it in a single exchange. They were slaughtered clean within a few finger snaps.

Shi Lan stepped forward and carefully pushed the corpses aside, rummaging through layer after layer of ash and collecting anything that looked like a storage item.

The lightning had been too violent; whatever remained intact was bound to be of excellent quality. It was an absolutely considerable fortune.

…

The skies above the Qiongluo Realm had already turned blood-red. Beacon smoke rose everywhere, almost blotting out the divine radiance of the sun.

Several figures passed through the blood-fiend clouds gathered above the Qiongluo Realm, came to a stop in midair, and began discussing how to divide the Qiongluo Realm.

Moving a great realm of this size was no easy matter. Even with the Heavenly Dao already scattered, it would still be difficult for these few alone to shake an entire great thousand world.

What they needed to do now was break it apart piece by piece and thoroughly shatter the entire world.

“I want half.”

The Giant Spirit King’s voice was deep, rumbling like muffled thunder.

“Your appetite is rather too large.”

A scoffing laugh rang out. Emperor Yuan gave no face at all and spoke directly. Of the five Supremes who had entered the realm, three belonged to his side. The advantage was his.

The Giant Spirit King turned his enormous head. Divine light flickered in his silver-moon-like eyes, like thunder pools surging.

“The next time the ascension war opens, I will kill you without fail!”

“You are welcome to try.”

Emperor Yuan paid no heed whatsoever to the Giant Spirit King’s threat, cold light spilling from his eyes.

The atmosphere in the air instantly became taut.

“Gentlemen, let us not harm our harmony. Why not count Yang Supreme in and divide it evenly?” Cloud Saint, standing to the side, spoke up. “That would also be fair.”

The Giant Spirit King fell silent. Then he exchanged a look with the dragon-robed man beside him. After a moment, he gave a slight nod.

“The side mission must be mine.”

As an attached mission to the war mission, and one involving a top-tier system, the reward for this task was bound to be extremely generous as well.

“Emperor Yuan, your Dragonblood Army has already had a taste of the benefits. Why not take a small step back?”

The dragon-robed man standing at the Giant Spirit King’s side spoke as well. Though a smile hung on his face, it did not reach his eyes, carrying a faint insincerity.

The others did not argue further, and Emperor Yuan likewise said nothing. Time was pressing. If they delayed further, changes might arise.

“Then once I kill that one, we can divide the realm!”

The Giant Spirit King lifted his eyes toward the distant horizon and, in an instant, fixed upon his target. His voice boomed like a great bell.

…

“Shi Lan, those Supremes have entered the realm!”

Lunhui’s voice was somewhat hoarse. This bitter consequence had only been drawn here because of its existence.

“So fast?”

Shi Lan, who had still been searching through the remains, suddenly raised her head, her breathing tightening. She glanced toward Chi Junyu and the white tiger not far away. Her jaw clenched slightly as she rose, preparing to leave.

Those two ferocious beasts were absolutely no match for a Supreme. Staying would only add two more lives to the tally.

She had only just stood up when a terrifying pressure blanketed the sky above, forming an invisible cage that sealed the entire void. A colossal figure, towering against the heavens and treading the earth, appeared in midair with startling suddenness.

Looking at the azure giant before her, like some god or demon, Shi Lan took a light breath and mentally connected to the Dao Fruit of the Guiyun Sword Emperor.

She did not intend to use it for battle. Even if she absorbed that Dao Fruit, in so short a time it could at most push her into the Human Emperor realm.

That kind of power was utterly worthless before a Supreme.

Once this body of hers fell here, the Dao Fruit of the Guiyun Sword Emperor would inevitably be lost. If that happened, it would be no different from handing it directly to the system for decomposition.

The Giant Spirit King did not look at Shi Lan first. Instead, his gaze swept to the white tiger not far to the side, and he casually beckoned with one hand.

“This king lacks a mount beneath him. I will spare your life for the time being. Come.”
