Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God Novel - Chapter 497
Chapter 497: Everyone is a Mount (2)
They looked at Li Yu, hoping to obtain his answer.
However, Li Yu only smiled and did not say a word. He pointed at the Heavenly Dao Rankings. Golden light gathered there again, and a new name slowly appeared.
Mount Ranking # 8: Zuo Si
Race: Dragon Abalone Race
Owner: Emperor Yu
“Gasp!”
Everyone could not remain calm when they saw that the Jie Tan Race Master, Zuo Si, was also Li Yu’s mount.
Three of the four demon leaders were already on the rankings. Could the four demon leaders be Emperor Yu’s mounts?
What’s going on?
If Emperor Yu had subdued them long ago, why would they dare to start a war with the humans? There were too many inexplicable and confusing things.
Everyone’s curiosity was piqued, and they could not wait to find out the answer.
However, the various demons were equally puzzled.
At the moment, Zuo Si’s expression could be described as marvelous. The surrounding demons’ gazes immediately shifted from the Jie Lin Race’s elder to him.
“Brother Zuo, why are you also…?” Yu Tianxun felt that his worldview had collapsed.
Three of the patriarchs of the four demon races had become Emperor Yu’s mounts. It seemed that only his race was left to fight Emperor Yu.
Why was Zuo Si so enthusiastic before? Was this all a trap set by Emperor Yu to lure him to lead my family’s experts to the Heaven Region Kingdom’s capital and capture them all?
However, with Emperor Yu’s strength, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
Yu Tianxun was in a complete mess, and the expressions of the members of the Yu Jia Race were ugly. They felt as if an invisible hand was grabbing their lifeline.
“I, I don’t know either. There must be something wrong with the Heavenly Dao Rankings. Emperor Yu must have created it to drive a wedge between us!” Zuo Si insisted that this was all a scheme.
After all, he could not explain what was going on.
How did he become Emperor Yu’s mount for no reason? This was too strange. Did Emperor Yu have some powerful divine power that could forcefully take in a mount?
Yu Tianxun looked at Zuo Si with a complicated expression. He felt that Zuo Si really did not know, but what was going on?
He felt that his brain was no longer enough!
“Zuo Si is on the rankings too!” Mao Buhuo, who was in the territory of the Mao Du Race, widened his eyes in anger. “Why is this guy ranked ahead of me!”
There was also competition between the four demon races. After all, blood brothers competed with each other, not to mention that they were not from the same race.
In terms of strength, Mao Buhuo believed that even if he could not compare to Yu Tianxun, he could at least rank second among the four patriarchs. Zuo Si was the weakest.
However, he was actually ranked last on the rankings. Even Zuo Si was ranked higher than him.
“Perhaps this ranking is based on who’s more suitable to be a mount!” A clan elder said.
“Mm, that makes sense!” Mao Buhuo nodded. He seemed to feel better thinking about it.
The Heavenly Dao reward descended again, and Li Yu obtained another Primordial Stone.
Li Yu was in a good mood as he looked at the three Primordial Stones in his hand. He even felt that ten spots on the rankings were too little.
Primordial Stones were the most precious, rare, and top-notch ores in the world.
It contained the power of the laws of heaven and earth and the origin energy of the endless universe.
Many ancient divine artifacts and even Primordial-Grade magic treasures required Primordial Stones.
However, Primordial Stones were extremely rare. Even the Li Yu of his previous life, who had entered the Primordial World many times and controlled the wealth of the world, only possessed four Primordial Stones.
Three of them were used to build the human Heavenly Court and formulate new laws of order.
If he had more Primordial Stones at that time, he could have almost created a new set of the laws of heaven and earth. That way, there might not have been the subsequent calamity, and the human race might not have declined.
Now, the Heavenly Dao Rankings had rewarded him with three Primordial Stones in a row. At this rate, he would have at least ten Primordial Stones.
With these Primordial Stones, not to mention repairing the fragments of the Heavenly Court, it was not impossible to build a new Heavenly Court and a new universe.
Of course, the Primordial Stone had many uses. Be it building the Heavenly Court, refining magic treasures, reshaping the order of the world, or even opening up a new universe, the Primordial Stone could be used.
“Master, hehe, can you reward me with a Primordial Stone?” The Primordial Pearl looked at the Primordial Stone in Li Yu’s hand with a yearning and greedy expression.
The Primordial Stone was a real sought-after treasure for him, and it was also the true treasure to improve his strength.
When the Primordial Pearl was first born, it relied on devouring the Primordial Stone to become stronger. However, the Primordial Stone almost ceased to exist.
Coupled with the fact that he had left the Primordial Space, he had never devoured a Primordial Stone again.
Now that he saw the Primordial Stone again, he was drooling.
“Dream on!” Li Yu refused decisively. He did not think it was enough for himself, so how could he bear to give it to the Primordial Pearl unless the Heavenly Dao Rankings could reward him with more Primordial Stones than he could use up?
On the side, everyone from the Heaven Region Kingdom looked at the rewards of the Heavenly Dao Rankings and sighed to themselves. Thinking about it, the rankings really infuriated the demons.
They were clearly the ones on the rankings, but the rewards were given to Li Yu. Mao Buhuo, Jie Mo, and Zuo Si must be feeling stifled now.
…
“You really didn’t submit to Emperor Yu?” Yu Tianxun was still questioning Zuo Si.
“Of course. I’ve never even seen him, let alone submitted to him. Besides, you know that I didn’t believe that Emperor Yu had returned.
“Moreover, our two races are the same. Our ancestors were almost wiped out by Emperor Yu. Our race and the human race have always been irreconcilable. Why would I, Zuo Si, submit to Emperor Yu?!” Zuo Si said with a grave expression.
Hearing Zuo Si’s words, Yu Tianxun nodded slightly. He felt that Zuo Si was not lying to him. There was indeed something fishy about this.
“Look at the Heavenly Dao Rankings!” Someone exclaimed.
Yu Tianxun looked at the Heavenly Dao Rankings in surprise. His eyes widened, and the flames on his hair soared 30 feet into the sky.
The latest mount on the Heavenly Dao Rankings was actually…
Mount Ranking # 7: Yu Tianxun
Race: Fire Phoenix Race
Owner: Emperor Yu
“…”
Yu Tianxun seemed to have eaten a fly as he was tongue-tied and ashen-faced. He never imagined that he would be on the rankings too.
At the same time, all the demons looked at Yu Tianxun. At this moment, anyone could tell that there was something wrong with the rankings.
“Something’s wrong. There’s something wrong with this ranking! This is a scheme, it must be a scheme!” Yu Tianxun roared.
It was as they had guessed. This must be a scheme by Emperor Yu.
“But, if Emperor Yu wanted to drive a wedge between us, why did he make the four patriarchs his mounts?” Someone objected.
His words puzzled everyone again. It was true.
If Emperor Yu really wanted to drive a wedge between them, he would at most make the two patriarchs his mounts. Then, he would cause a misunderstanding between them, suspicion, and even conflict to break up the alliance.
Now that the four demon leaders had become his mounts, it was really strange.
Just as everyone was thinking about it, golden light gathered on the Heavenly Dao Rankings, and new information appeared.
The demons looked at the Heavenly Dao Rankings with nervous expressions. They did not know what shocking news would come next.
Mount Ranking # 6: Zuo Shou
Race: Dragon Abalone Race
Owner: Emperor Yu
“Gasp!”
The demon experts were immediately in an uproar as they looked at the Jie Tan Race’s Old Patriarch—Zuo Shou—in shock.
As for Zuo Shou himself, his face was filled with surprise, but his frown deepened, and his expression turned grim.
At this point, he felt that the Heavenly Dao Rankings were not as they imagined. Perhaps this was not a scheme. Perhaps…
“Could it be that Emperor Yu did something to our bloodline back then…” Zuo Shou guessed the shocking truth.
Although he could not understand how Emperor Yu did it, this was the only answer that could explain it.
After all, he knew that his ancestors had once been controlled by Emperor Yu and even reared as his food.
Therefore, Emperor Yu must have cast some kind of spell on their race back then. Their descendants could not escape his control.
He was simply a devil!
The more Zuo Shou thought about it, the more afraid he became. If that was the case, wouldn’t their race become Emperor Yu’s food in the future and be controlled by him?
…
