Impossible, impossible…
The Left Messenger’s heart sank to its depths. A Heavenly Path cultivator found herself unable to stop praying in her heart.
Yet, as a philosopher once said, ‘The more you wish that something won’t happen, the more likely it is that it will happen.’
The world was often just that cruel.
After that… He came.
The first thing they saw was a dog that did not have any hair on its body. Its pinkish skin was exposed but its face was incredibly stern. The strange appearance coupled with the stern look was quite amusing.
Yet, the Left Messenger could not bring herself to laugh because she could feel an incredibly strong power coming from that dog’s body.
“Someone’s actually coming here at such a time?”
The old green man and the other Heavenly Realm cultivator had naturally also sensed their guests and carefully looked at who was approaching.
However, after looking at it clearly, they still let out a sigh of relief.
Only the bald dog at the helm would be hard to deal with, the others were not even in the Heavenly Realm. Even with their heavy injuries, they were not worried.
Blackie took a step forward, walking along the Chaos as the dog’s eyes glinted, locking on to the old green man before saying in a cold tone, “I remember your aura. The one who caused all that trouble that night was you!”
The old green man frowned, not afraid at all as he smiled. “Ah, so it’s you. A dog’s nose really is quite sharp.
Daji and the others did not speak and merely appraised the situation in front of them quietly. When they saw the locked down Taotie that was floating in Chaos, their expressions turned heavy.
It was better to be there at the right time than to be early. They never expected that their timing would be so precise.
They had come to capture Taotie when they stumbled upon the Ministry. If they were a step slower, Taotie would have been taken away. If they had come earlier, they might have met some trouble.
Now, Taotie was already captured and the people of the Ministry looked like they had sustained heavy losses. It was definitely the best time to arrive.
That timing felt incredibly dreamlike and refreshing.
Looking at their expressions, the Left Messenger seemed to see through their thoughts. Her eyes moved under her mask as she asked, “Do you really think you’re our match even in this situation?”
Daji’s expression was calm as she said plainly, “We came here precisely because of Taotie. However, since we met you so coincidentally, we might as well get rid of you right now.”
She was just a Chaos Golden Daluo Immortal, and yet she was saying those words in front of three cultivators from the Heavenly Realm with such an obvious tone. Anyone would laugh hearing her words.
The three cultivators from the Ministry did laugh.
The Heavenly Realm cultivator said, “With just you guys? If you want to gloat, you first need to have the skills! Who’s the one giving all of you so much confidence?
“It’s fine, you’re the ones who destroyed the Ministry branch at Demon City? You found out Taotie’s location and chased us here.”
The old green man spoke, his eyes deep in thought as if he had seen through everything, “I admit that I was careless before, because I forgot an important figure, which is that so-called Deluxe Merit Saint!
“If I’m not mistaken, the Deluxe Merit Saint should just be a layer of protection.”
At those words, Daji and the others’ pupils contracted, revealing expressions of disbelief. Even though it was just a flash, it was still detected by the old green man.
He narrowed his eyes and was even more pleased as he continued, “All of our plans have always been foiled right at the last moment. Once is a coincidence, but after so many times, we’re just being targeted! The Deluxe Merit Saint… He’s really good at hiding!
“Even this time, we were almost fooled! I used my Immortal Weaken Spell to the limit to deal with that Deluxe Merit Saint, but not only did I fail to injure him at all, I was the one who ended up with heavy injuries. I even neglected the formation that was meant to catch Taotie, resulting in heavy losses this time. And at this moment, you lot came right on time. Come to think of it…it should be a ploy by the Deluxe Merit Saint, right?”
His words were all speculation, but it was said in an unbelievably certain tone. His analysis was very reasonable and logical.
Daji and the others had a slight change in their expression, not able to believe such details were involved. However, in their hearts, they had a moment of realization.
So, they and the others were always pawns on the expert’s chessboard!
Thinking about it, it was quite true.
Upon hearing the old green man’s analysis, there was a sliver of fear in their hearts.
It was to say, if the old green man’s Immortal Weaken Spell had not been countered by the expert, then the Ministry’s losses would not have been so large. That would mean that when they arrived, they would not have been able to stand up to the Ministry, which would have been extremely dangerous.
The expert really did have no flaws in his plans. Even though he did not make a move personally, he was still able to fix everything with just one move, protecting everyone!
Strong, unmatched!
Qin Zhongshan and the others’ respect for the expert grew even greater. He said coldly, “I see you do have some intelligence. The expert isn’t someone you can even fathom.”
“Hahaha, it’s a pity, this time he made a mistake!”
The old green man laughed coldly, measuring the five of them up as he said in a cold tone, “You might outnumber us, and we might be injured, but…you only have a dog from the Heavenly Realm. Do you really think you can snatch Taotie away from our hands?
“However, I’m a little curious, why do you want to capture Taotie?”
Flames started to dance around Fire Phoenix as she said coldly, “I see no harm in telling you. Taotie is something my master wants to eat, and he’s waiting for us to cook it for him when we get back!”
“Food?”
The old green man was stunned and his expression turned even uglier. “Do you think I’m easy to fool? I guess we’ll have to capture you and interrogate you!”
Blackie could not stand it anymore and slapped his paw right at the old green man. “Why are we wasting our time with words? Just kill them with a slap!”
The old green man snorted. He faced the Heavenly Realm cultivator and said, “I’ll handle the dog with the Left Messenger, the rest will fall on you!”
“That’s easy!”
That man stared at Daji and the others, revealing a cruel smile on his face. He did not hesitate to attack, raising his hand as a massive silhouette of a palm appeared in the Chaos, capturing Daji and the others.
The palm closed, and like a five-fingered mountain, it trapped the five of them.
He was a Heavenly Realm cultivator. Even if it was just the image of a palm, it was already a small world that he had created. In that palm, he was the master, and Chaos Golden Daluo Immortals were just like ants that could be killed at any time.
Inside the palm, Daji and the others felt immense pressure. It was like a normal person being rejected by heaven and earth. Even the space itself wanted to squeeze them to death. The power of the Heavens was majestic, and Heavenly punishment had descended onto the world, annihilating everything.
Their expressions were heavy as they chanted protective spells to protect themselves from the pressure. It was as if they were a little boat in an unending, raging sea. The winds and the storm were incredibly hard to hold back.
On the other side, Blackie fought against the Left and Right Messengers alone.
Blackie did not bother to hold back at all. His claws danced around, scratching the Left Messenger everywhere around her body as flesh and blood flew. He was also stabbed throughout. The battle was violent and simple. The clashes never stopped.
The old green man did not use his Immortal Weaken Spell. He was in a bad state and did not even dare to face Blackie head-on, so he could only disrupt them from afar. However, each of his attacks was still terrifying.
He was shocked by Blackie’s power, and was even more shocked at Blackie’s transformation.
He could not understand how Blackie’s combat ability rose by so much just by shedding his fur.
Could shedding his hair cause him to get stronger? Or did that dog have some heavenly skill related to shedding its fur?
The only spectator was Taotie.
Its energy was already spent and it had given up on its struggle. It was busy questioning its own life.
‘I’m Taotie, a fierce beast in the Chaos. I’m a majestic existence.
‘Yet, one of them wants to capture me to experiment on me, while the other wants to eat me?
‘They’re even fighting over the right to own me…
‘When did I get so easily bullied? Who are these people? They’re too despicable!’
The old green man was targeted by Blackie and his condition got worse and worse. He could not help but urge the Heavenly Path cultivator, “Quit wasting time, get rid of them quickly!”
“Very well!”
The man’s answer was simple as he coldly said, “It’s done!”
He sent out another palm that launched at everyone!
Qin Zhongshan, Goddess Nuwa, and Bai Chen all paled as they felt a fear that came from their souls. It was like they were mere fireflies facing the moon.
The Heavenly Realm was equal to the Heavens, and they were just ants living under Heaven. Even though it was just a realm apart, it was already an insurmountable distance. Even being able to hold on thus far was pushing themselves to their limits.
“You’re wrong, my Master never miscalculates!”
Daji’s expression was calm as she slowly raised her hand. “You’re right, it should end now!”
In her hand, that ring started to emit a white glow as a mysterious aura fell, causing Daji’s power to surge massively, shooting up right to the skies and completely piercing through that Heavenly Realm cultivator’s seals!
Another palm shot out!
Clank!
A massive frozen palm shot out, heading right toward that person!
In that frozen palm was incredibly powerful energy, even scarier than the attack of that Heavenly Realm cultivator. Even the surrounding Chaos space seemed to have frozen!
“That’s… An Ultimate Chaos Treasure?! And it contains such immense power?!”
That man’s expression changed as he let out a cry of disbelief.
Yet, before his shock even ended, Fire Phoenix raised her hand as well.
On her body, a golden glow could be seen as an aura surged out of her as well, turning into a golden flaming dragon, charging right at that person!
“Another Ultimate Chaos Treasure?!”
The man’s face twisted in fear as he shivered. His skin felt like it was about to explode as he did not hesitate to retreat.
Yet, an attack of that level that contained the power of the Chaos, was not something easily avoided.
Fire and ice, two elements that should completely reject each other, were working together, completely annihilating everything as they covered that Heavenly Realm cultivator’s body.
In a flash, that man disappeared in a state of confusion and horror, not even leaving any trace behind.
Qin Zhongshan and the others gasped, swallowing as he said, “What… What a powerful treasure.”
Goddess Nuwa, who knew what happened, took a deep breath, exclaiming, “The expert’s Ultimate Chaos Treasures are really horrifying. They’re so strong it defies imagination!”
As for the Left and Right Messengers, their eyeballs almost popped out after witnessing everything. Their hearts turned cold as they lost their voices in fear.
The old green man paled as he shouted, “Quickly get me out of here!”
Right after he said that, he noticed that the Left Messenger had already moved with a speed that she never moved with before, disappearing deep into the Chaos without any mercy, not even bothering to look back.
He was stunned, turning his head around helplessly as he noticed Blackie’s face right in front of him, glaring at him with a cruel look.
He shivered. “I’m done!”
He was indeed done. Blackie was not someone who enjoyed torture, He simply shattered the old green man’s lifeforce. Then, a strong Heavenly Realm cultivator disappeared from the world!
In the unending Chaos, not many people knew that such a massive battle had just ended.
Daji said, “Let’s go, let’s bring this fresh ingredient back to Master.”
“That’s right, Goddess Daji’s right.”
“Let us carry this Taotie, I’m the most suited for rough labor like this.”
Qin Zhongsan and Bai Chen did not hesitate to cry out, trying to prove themselves.
Whether it was Blackie or Daji and Fire Phoenix, their strengths had completely defied all of Qin Zhongshan and Bai Chen’s prior knowledge. So, they were naturally even more respectful.
Furthermore, they were mere spectators this time and did not help at all, so it seemed like carrying the goods was the only thing they could do.
On the other end, the Left Messenger did not stop moving, sprinting rapidly all the way and using every skill she had to cross the endless distance before she hid in a cluster of dense stars. Only then did she even dare to let out another breath.
‘It’s too scary, too dangerous. Thankfully, I made preparations and managed to escape quickly.’ the Left Messenger thought thankfully.
In truth, when the old green man started to talk about how abnormal that expert was, she had already started to plan her retreat in her mind.
They had encountered too many misfortunes lately and did not manage to achieve anything. Everything seemed to happen in an impossible fashion.
The old green man did not account for that and even thought that he was already assured of his victory. She was different. She felt that the matter would not be so simple, especially after the old green man had raised that flag.
Her teammate was the exact opposite of a compass.
And she was proven right.
When Daji said the words, ‘My master never miscalculates’, she had already started to retreat.
“That Deluxe Merit Saint is not someone simple at all! With an existence of this level, I’ll need to report it to the leader!” she mumbled before her figure flickered, disappearing from the Chaos.
