God Emperor - Chapter 1771

Chapter 1771: Gods at War

“Swallow my pride? Accept the compromise? I have never known these words in my entire life.”

Chi Yao might have been a woman, but she was proud and unrelenting even though the three gods before her had far longer experience in cultivation.

“If you make a mistake, you get punished. Just like the Heavenly Realm, there are certain lines you do not cross when it comes to the Kunlun Realm. Things will not end well if you do; there are no exceptions for the Heavenly Realm’s Saint Kings and gods.”

There was a dazzling bloody glow in Chi Yao’s hand, and the Blood Dripper appeared. It was red as if blood was dripping down the blade.

Then, streaks of blood-red energy shot out from the sword and pierced through the bodies of the Heavenly Realm’s Saint Kings.

Whenever someone was hit by the Blood Dripper’s sword energy, their bodies would be sucked dry of their blood. Even the Saint Kings were instantly reduced to mummies.

Youshen had already sensed something wrong the moment Chi Yao summoned her Blood Dripper. “You are asking for trouble.” Her eyes reddened as she snapped.

From thousands of miles away, Youshen thrust her hand out, and an elusive shadow shot out of her palm.

It traveled toward Chi Yao, who was on the platform, at a speed beyond the perception of the Saint King cultivators.

It was an attack in the form of spiritual power.

The power was extremely succinct, and almost all of it was concentrated in the black shadow. The spiritual power that escaped out was tiny yet horrifying.

With the exception of Zhang Ruochen and others who were under Yueshen’s protection, other cultivators from other realms buried their heads in their hands. They screamed in pain and dropped to the ground, passing out as their eyes, nose, ears, and mouth bled.

Equipped with a god-level inscription, Yueshen could resist the spiritual-power attack and keep the others alive.

However, beyond her range of protection, in a thirty-thousand-square-mile area outside the Tongyou Sacred Realm, where she was, countless living beings were experiencing extreme headaches. It was as if their Saint souls were shattering and minds were breaking down.

A god’s attack was not something that the cultivators of the realm could fathom. Even the smallest stray shock wave could affect the living beings on Earth.

As quick as Youshen was, she was still a bit too late. By the time her spiritual-power attack reached Chi Yao, over half of the Heavenly Realm’s Saint Kings had turned into mummified bodies. Their Saint blood had flowed into the Blood Dripper.

Chi Yao had no choice but to temporarily stop her killing spree and hold up the Chaotic Space-Time Lotus.

Her hand seemed like an endless plane with five fingers as the Chaotic Space-Time Lotus emanated a dazzling light on her palm. The light illuminated not only the thirty-thousand-square-mile area around Tongyou Sacred Realm but also the Shatuo Domain.

The entire world was lit up brightly.

The spiritual-power shadow dissipated as the light wiped it out before it reached Chi Yao.

“That is all you have after thirty thousand years of cultivation, Youshen?”

Chi Yao glanced at her with contempt.

It was the contempt of an empress, which outdid the contempt of every other living being on Earth.

Youshen was extraordinary. Any living being would quake in its boots and revere her. Who would dare to act with contempt in front of her?

Angered, Youshen raised her hand to point at the sky, and the dark clouds above the black tower receded like the tide. They left behind a round hole in the air and a vast starry sky.

Once that happened, the starlight fell and converged at the top of the black tower, on which billions of mysterious patterns appeared. The energy that flowed out of it was even more terrifying.

Heaven and Earth turned dark. The dark energy devoured the light from the Chaotic Space-Time Lotus while it spread toward Mount Yueshen.

Zhang Ruochen stood behind Yueshen under the protection of her divine light. Even so, he still felt a chill run up his spine as he saw the looming darkness. The Saint Qi and blood in his body froze.

Holding his breath, he glanced over at Supreme Saint Manjian, who also looked back at him and forced out a smile.

Even the Supreme Saint was scared stiff, realizing that he was just a speck of dust before what was coming.

In the Shatuo Domain, a demonic emperor emerged from his demon fane and let out a sigh as he looked toward Mount Yueshen. “When the stars fall and the You Tower is activated, the war between gods is inevitable.”

The demonic emperor instantly released his demon energy, swept up all o the cultivators in the demon fane, and brought them out of the Shatuo Domain.

In the Zifu Realm, one of the seven realms in the Shatuo Domain, a god, who had been hibernating for many years, woke up in a sea of purple fog.

“What for? The Kunlun Realm has been in a decline. Just when there is a glimpse of hope with the birth of a young god, it wants to fight against the Heavenly Realm. Why can’t it just compromise and be accommodating?” He breathed a sigh of helplessness, lamenting the vicissitudes of life.

All the gods in the Shatuo Domain’s seven realms were alerted.

They all believed that those young gods in the Kunlun Realm were too keen to show how good they were, not knowing how to hide their abilities and keep a low profile.

They should have lived within their means since the Kunlun Realm had declined.

The Shatuo Domain’s seven realms were the weakest in the western universe. So, the gods of those seven realms had a great understanding of their responsibilities, which were taking care of a billion lives, passing down civilizations, and maintaining the dignity of their worlds.

Sometimes, even gods like them had to humble themselves and do things they despised for the survival of their worlds as well as civilizations. That way, the living beings within their realm would not be enslaved and become food for others.

They lived with the hope that someday, heroes might rise up and make their worlds great again. There was still hope as long as they lived.

Chi Yao was different, apparently.

She could keep her head low and even grin and bear it, but whenever someone crossed the line, she would not swallow the humiliation. Surviving at the expense of dignity was not what she and the Kunlun Realm ascribed to. She would rather die in battle. If death was inevitable, she would make sure that her enemy paid a heavy price for it.

Chi Yao muttered as she lifted the Blood Dripper, and it shot out a powerful beam of blood light.

It tore the darkness apart and collided with the star-sized You Tower.

At that moment, Zhang Ruochen felt a sharp pain in his ears. He looked at the shocking scene from afar but could hear nothing.

The blood-red divine power and black one formed into a circle and spread in all directions. Down below, the hills, as well as lakes, which looked like piles of sand and puddles the size of a fist were instantly flattened, becoming a desert.

Standing at 1,800 miles tall, the You Tower crumbled and fell to the ground.

Pieces of debris as small as fingernails could create gigantic craters across the land that was several dozen square miles when they hit the earth.

The bigger ones were more damaging. The earth and surrounding space were shattered, turning into a pitch-dark void.

Not just the Tongyou Sacred Realm, but several nearby realms were also destroyed.

Luckily for the cultivators, the Supreme Saints of those realms had evacuated most of them out of the Shatuo Domain. Otherwise, those living beings would have faced the horrible fate of extinction.

People looked at the broken, black You Tower in shock because they could not believe what they had seen.

Even the gods from the Shatuo Domain’s seven realms sucked through their teeth upon seeing what happened.

Youshen was transfixed. “How is this possible? The You Tower is made of Hanyou Iron, a dark matter. It is one of the ten god-level matters, so how did you smash it with just one strike of your sword?”

The ten god-level matters were the most extreme matters in the universe. They were necessary materials for making ultimate weapons.

“Substance of Creation… Your sword is made of that substance,” Youshen said in a low voice.

Chi Yao stood in the void, dressed in a fine silk robe. Holding the Blood Dripper with one hand and the Chaotic Space-Time Lotus with the other, she looked down at Youshen beneath her. “You are not that much more powerful than Jueshen, whom I killed.”

Her words were grating to the ear, and Youshen almost went ballistic.

“You must have a death wish!”

“Dingxinghai!” Youshen roared.

A black divine column, measuring at 29,400 meters long, propelled out from the heart of the broken You Tower.

The name of the column was Dingxinghai.

Dingxinghai was the core of the You Tower, and it was made of some dark matter. However, this dark matter, called Dark True Iron, was even more precious than Hanyou Iron.

If Youshen summoned her full might, she could use the column to halt the motion of the stars in the universe.

Youshen held Dingxinghai and struck Chi Yao with it.

Yanshen and Bloodlord Sijia exchanged looks before they joined hands to face Chi Yao head-on.

With a flick of his hand, Yanshen summoned a Divine Purification Flame, which transformed into a giant hand, and aimed it at Chi Yao’s head.

The powerful flaming hand shattered space, tearing apart countless space fissures, each of which was thousands of miles in length.

Zhang Ruochen watched with bated breath. His attainment of the Path of Dimension was still too insignificant in front of the gods.

With his current level of cultivation, it was difficult for him to tear open a 30-meter-long space fissure in the Heavenly Realm. But with their power, the gods could effortlessly rip open several-thousand-mile-long space fissures.

Bloodlord Sijia’s hands were completely covered in precepts. Using his hand like a sword, he attacked Chi Yao from afar.

One thing was obvious; Bloodlord Sijia’s power was far greater than that of Youshen and Yanshen. The strike cut all the pillars of Heaven and Earth in half, turning the dimension into a land of forbidden paths.

It was extremely baleful for three gods to be against one, who was a rookie with less than a thousand years of cultivation.

The Shatuo gods from the Greater Demonic Realm, Zifu Realm, Tianmu Realm, and others sighed. The Celestial Palace’s inaction at this stage meant that the Heavenly Realm had obviously come prepared.

That god from the Kunlun Realm would most likely meet her end today.

Right then, a ring of white light that was 30 meters in diameter appeared under Yueshen’s feet. “Do not step out of the light ring,” Yueshen telepathically said to Zhang Ruochen and the others.

Yueshen flew up into the air above Mount Yueshen, her beautiful fairy-like body glowing. “Death is the only punishment for those who trespass the Guanghan Realm, those who wound its cultivators, and those who create trouble on Mount Yueshen.”
