Chapter 1288: Pangu Revives! Ambush by the Chaos Source Lord!

Chapter 1288: Pangu Awakens! The Surprise Attack by the Holymind Lord!

"Oh, the Emperor Pangu has awakened..." Zhou Zhou subconsciously nodded, then suddenly stiffened, turning sharply to gaze at Him. "Pangu Emperor has awakened?!"

"Yes."

"Where is He now?"

Zhou Zhou asked with eager anticipation.

He had longed to meet this leader who had guided the Huaxia people to rise.

"He has indeed awakened, but he has not yet awakened fully," Zhou Zheng replied.

"How could he not have awakened yet?" Zhou Zhou furrowed his brow. "Was it because the divine medicine we prepared for Emperor Pangu was insufficient?"

"Not at all."

Zhou Zheng smiled and shook his head, "He hasn't awakened yet because, at the very first moment of his revival, he prepared to ascend to the rank of Supreme God."

"Pan Gu Emperor possesses extraordinary talent. Before our arrival on the Highest Continent, he was undoubtedly the most promising figure among humanity."

"I believe this time, he will most likely reach the rank of Supreme God."

"Really?..."

Zhou Zhou nodded, a smile spreading across his face.

If Pan Gu Emperor could also ascend to Supreme God status,

plus Su Yuan who just sent word,

then the Prairial Empire would now have four Supreme Gods.

Four warriors of the clan-level strength!

A lordly faction boasting such a vast array of clan-level warriors, even among the earliest ascendant domains of master-level lords, would not be considered weak.

"Add my own self and my five split bodies."

"That makes ten main god-tier lordly factions!"

Zhou Zhou's eyes gleamed with astonishing brilliance.

With ten main god-tier forces, combined with the eventual million-megaton army, even a typical master-level lordly faction would now pose no threat to him!

"My faction is growing stronger and stronger."

"Perhaps I…"

"Could truly attempt to become the Supreme Lord."

Zhou Zhou murmured to himself.

In the past, no matter how strong his power or how far ahead of other million-tribe lords he might be, he would never have dared say such a thing.

At most, he felt himself a fraction closer to the throne of the Supreme Lord.

But now.

He truly believed he had a chance to become the Supreme Lord.

Because his growth had become astonishingly rapid.

His strength too—astoundingly so!

Then, without further hesitation, he returned to the Palace of Cycles, closed his eyes, and began to train.

……

Blue Star.

Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu also commenced the second day's stronghold defense campaign.

"Now is the time to begin the stronghold defense battle."

Zhou Zhan Dao.

The moment the words had finished, a new text prompt appeared before Zhou Zhan.

[Matching in progress...]

Less than a second later, it displayed: [Match successful!]

At the same time,

a continent stretching across a diameter of one light-year suddenly materialized 100 kilometers outside of Blue Star.

Blue Star, having been transformed under the alterations of Zhou Zhan and the other deities, had grown to over a hundred times its original size.

The density of ascension energy on the ground had reached the level of a lower-tier region of a lower-tier deity.

Even some heavenly realm's immortal sanctuaries couldn't compare to Blue Star at this moment.

Yet, compared to the vastly enlarged Blue Star, this continent seemed like a colossal, monstrous entity.

Zhou Zhan and his companions naturally saw nothing strange about it.

But when the native inhabitants of Lanxing witnessed this vast continent—six million times larger than the sun—appear near Earth, every race of Lanxing people couldn’t help but feel suffocated, even terrified.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Wu remained calm, raised his hand, and cast a wide-ranging spiritual calming spell upon all the native Lanxing people. Only then did the native race cease their panic.

Yet they were still profoundly stunned, gazing at the continent as though encountering something utterly new and astonishing.

“Had it not been for the fixed array we’ve placed over Lanxing, this continent’s mere appearance would have drawn our world toward it, causing Lanxing to plummet onto this unknown land.”

White Yun frowned beside them.

Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu turned their gaze toward the matching prompt now appearing before them.

[Match successful!]

[Your opponent is the Sword Continent’s Sword Spirit Clan—Hun Yuan Lord!]

[This lord possesses 1,253,000 points of domination score!]

[This lord possesses hidden lord shop points: 51,100 points!]

[This lord's consecutive victory count: 2!]

[From this moment onward, you will defend as the guardian force against the enemy's attacks, until the end of today's time period or until the enemy is completely destroyed. Upon either of these conditions, you will win; otherwise, you will lose!]

[The stronghold defense campaign has officially begun!]

Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu saw the names of their opponents and their mouths twitched slightly.

Hun Yuan Lord.

What a bold name.

Within certain cultivation systems, this is the highest rank title bestowed upon the most advanced cultivators.

To name himself thus, he clearly doesn't fear the curse of fate, nor does he dread misfortune befalling him.

At the same time.

Across from him, the Hunyuan Lord also received the matchmaking notification.

[Matchmaking successful!]

[The opponent you face is of the Earth Human Race—a Mortal Lord!]

[This Lord possesses Hegemony Points: 63.1210015 billion Hegemony Points!]

[This Lord possesses Hidden Lord Shop Points: 501,100 Hidden Lord Shop Points!]

[This Lord's winning streak: 2!]

[From this moment onward, you shall act as the attacker, assaulting the enemy's base camp until the end of this day. You must successfully occupy the opposing base camp, otherwise, you shall be deemed defeated!!]

[If your assault fails, you will automatically lose your status as a Lord of the Myriad Races!]

[The campaign to assault the base camp now officially begins!]

The Hunyuan Lord's expression had originally been one of boundless confidence.

But when He saw that staggering six hundred billion points in the rivalry tally, His confident expression froze instantly.

"Is this...?"

He immediately opened the leaderboard and scanned the top position—his face instantly turned pale.

"Such a mortal lord... how unlucky am I?"

He murmured to himself.

"I am Lord Luo Sheng, the Sixth General of the Mortal Empire—Mortal Army!"

"Are you ready to fight us?"

At that very moment,

the cold voice of Wuxiang Ghost God—Luo Sheng—echoed from the heavens.

Hun Yuan Lord looked up and saw Luo Sheng standing in the sky, staring down at them with cold indifference.

"Wait!"

"I surrender!"

The Lord of Hunyuan shouted urgently.

"Oh?"

"A wise decision."

Luo Sheng nodded in surprise, then flew alone toward the Lord of Hunyuan, "Then come with me to see..."

Shh!

Crisp, brilliant swordlight flashed in the Lord of Hunyuan's eyes.

A swordbeam shot forth, trailed by ten thousand threads of sword energy.

The sword energy, like silk!

Luo Sheng saw this not with surprise, but with a smile spreading across his face.

Boom!

A three-headed, six-armed ghost deity appeared silently behind Luo Sheng.

On each of the deity’s six arms, there was a different weapon.

As a thousand streams of sword qi surged toward him, the ghost deity swiftly swung his six weapons, casting an unbreakable web of blinding light and steel.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

In the stunned gaze of Hunyuan’s Lord, the countless sword qi of the "Sword Qi Like Silk" realm were completely blocked.

"How is this possible?!"

He gasped aloud.

With his mastery of the "Sword Qi Like Silk" technique, he was absolutely invincible among the youth of the Sword Continent!

Even among the myriad chieftains of the myriad clans, one rarely encounters a worthy opponent.

Now, to face a nameless general from the Proud Sun Empire, and have him effortlessly deflect one's attack?

Hunyuan Chieftain could not accept it.

But in the very next instant, a sense of impending doom surged within his mind.

As he barely had time to flee, his field of vision flipped—then he saw his own corpse, headless and lifeless.

A faint voice entered his fading consciousness.

"My sovereign said that naming yourself 'Hunyuan' would bring misfortune."

"The sovereign was indeed correct."

"Meeting me is your misfortune!"

Hunyuan Chieftain's eyes widened with defiant rage.

Then, he died completely.

The three-headed, six-armed demon spirit behind Luo Sheng let out a wide grin.

"This continent seems to aid in the cultivation of sword mastery."

"Seal it away and bring it back to the Empire."

Luo Sheng glanced at the Sword Continent, then issued a quiet command.

"Yes!"

The forbidden spellcaster and the yellow seal warriors behind him roared in unison.
