Chapter 794: Setting Out for War

The grand performance had indeed begun.

That night, atop the mountain of people, each Celestial Lord bore a trace of indignation.

Giving Su Yu some benefits was not a big deal in itself, but Su Yu actually demanded that everyone, following ancient rites, don ancient ceremonial robes tomorrow to see him off on his campaign.

This was unacceptable.

Some fiercely opposed, while others agreed.

Lord Ming did not care much about this and spoke: "These are trivial matters. If he is willing to go to battle, merely putting on a show to satisfy his vanity, letting him fight—isn't that a good thing?"

It cost nothing.

But Lord Dao said coldly: "Impossible! What nonsense is this? We have resisted the human race for countless years, and now, as ancient vassals, we are to see him off on a personal expedition—does that mean we submit once more? Then the resistance of these hundred thousand years would become a joke!"

"Moreover, wearing ancient attire is even more impossible!"

A group of Celestial Lords bickered endlessly over this matter.

Yet some argued, while others remained silent.

Lei Bao and Tian Ming were among those silent; Lei Bao had barely spoken since first delivering the message.

In his heart, he was still pondering Su Yu.

This Su Yu was truly terrifying.

With the slightest clue, even one easily forgotten, he would quickly trace it to its source and uncover the truth—this man grew ever more awe-inspiring.

Lei Bao compared Bai Zhan and Su Yu in his mind: who was stronger between them?

An assessment across all aspects, not merely in strength.

After a long while, he could not reach a conclusion, but he had a feeling: Su Yu's pressure on him was greater than Bai Zhan's, perhaps because Bai Zhan was more low-key than Su Yu.

...

Su Yu paid no heed to their quarrels.

At this moment, Su Yu was instructing March to gather all the Devourer Tribe, lest they later provoke Lord Dragon, who might retaliate against the Devourer Tribe once they were gone.

Of the entire Devourer Tribe,

only Giant Bamboo Marquis remained outside; Su Yu had April and May enter the weapon space for temporary shelter.

Su Yu, Fat Ball, March, Giant Axe, Xuelan, Tongtian, Giant Bamboo—four Celestial Lords and three Heavenly Kings—this was the force Su Yu had assembled, all top-tier existences. In this era, even a Heavenly King, when encountering a Celestial Lord, would not be easily slain.

The Devourer Tribe was once again relocating.

And March handed over the weapon space containing the Devourer Tribe to Su Yu.

Su Yu looked at March, who grinned naively: "It's safer with Your Majesty than with me."

Su Yu glanced at him. Safer?

Not necessarily!

Su Yu said nothing more, stowed the weapon space, and spoke: "This time, when we go into battle, we may encounter powerful foes! We might even face a newly emerged Rule Master! So everyone must be cautious!"

Su Yu said gravely: "As per the old rules, obey orders! At critical moments, no matter what I say, if you follow orders, there is hope of survival! But if you disobey, and fall, it will be your own doing!"

This time, there were no dissenters; everyone nodded in agreement.

Su Yu pondered for a moment and added: "The Sinful Clan may not have only five Celestial Lords—this must be noted! The intelligence network of the Ten Thousand Races is utter garbage; they never obtain firsthand information!"

Several chuckled, and Giant Axe laughed: "Isn't that a good thing? If they truly controlled all intelligence, it would be troublesome instead."

Su Yu also smiled and nodded slightly.

Then, Su Yu did not speak aloud but transmitted his voice: "Remember, aim to severely wound, not to kill! Killing often comes at a great cost!"

The others were somewhat surprised—wasn't Su Yu's goal to slay a few powerful enemies?

"Killing... we'll do that when we reach my realm!"

Su Yu explained briefly, lest they act recklessly, and quickly transmitted: "Wound them severely, rout some, and... best to force some to flee into the depths of chaos!"

"Let them actively seek out our realm, rather than having the realm reveal itself!"

In short, Su Yu wanted everything to appear flawless!

Whatever opportunities, whatever realm, whatever tea tree—none of it was sent by me; they discovered it themselves through arduous effort and incredible luck.

The others nodded again; following Su Yu, they would simply act according to the plan.

As for the rest, they left it to Su Yu to consider.

"Blue Sky!"

Su Yu spoke again, "The Eight-Winged Tiger and the Chaos Dragon may not strike immediately, and... we cannot fully trust them either! They claim they want to kill that Rule Master, but that may not be true! Perhaps they will even join forces with him! And the Eight-Winged Tiger knows many of our secrets... If the Eight-Winged Tiger allies with him, inform Prefect Wan and the others to retreat at once, even if an opportunity appears—do not linger!"

Toward these two Chaos Ancient Beasts, Su Yu would not place full trust; trusting them three-tenths was already generous.

Apart from his own people, Su Yu trusted no one!

In this age, trusting others rashly was courting death.

Every one of them was cunning and scheming.

Having said this, Su Yu fell silent for a moment, then added: "At a critical moment, if we encounter a crisis, all the powerful within the entire realm shall obey... the orders of King Dazhou!"

At these words, even the bracelet that was Blue Sky's avatar was startled, let alone March and the others.

In Su Yu's camp, among the current top experts, in terms of trust, Blue Sky, Wan Tiansheng, Fat Ball, King Nan, Lanshan... these ranked above King Dazhou!

In terms of strength, King Dazhou was not even a Celestial Lord, inferior to King Nan and the others.

Even inferior to Wan Tiansheng!

Yet Su Yu said that at a critical moment, they must obey King Dazhou.

Why?

No one understood!

Su Yu offered no explanation; they just had to listen.

King Dazhou?

An old man still shrouded in mystery, who served as the Human Emperor's scribe, knowing too much and holding too many secrets—that Bai Zhan had a son was top secret, wasn't it?

King Dazhou knew!

Not only did he know, but he also casually gossiped about it without any attempt at concealment.

Recall that the Ten Thousand Races had been unaware of this for six thousand years.

The Giant Clan had hidden it perfectly, yet Su Yu and the others heard it as a joke—all because King Dazhou told them. Otherwise, who would have known?

This matter was classified!

Yet King Dazhou treated it as no secret at all.

As the Human Emperor's scribe, Su Yu had not thought deeply before, but now, seeing Bai Zhan and others being so secretive, and recalling King Dazhou, perhaps the old fellow had deliberately revealed it. The key was that this old man, when speaking, never said things outright!

He had said Bai Zhan was a capable man, loyal and sentimental, undefeated in battle, with peerless talent... and at that time, Su Yu was cursing Bai Zhan as a waste.

King Dazhou, perhaps unintentionally—or intentionally—had leaked many secrets to Su Yu.

Only, sometimes, Su Yu himself did not pay attention to it.

"Including strength!"

Su Yu muttered. He had not actually helped the Great Zhou King much, but the Great Zhou King's strength never fell behind.

When everyone was Eternal, he was Eternal.

When everyone was Dao-United, he was Dao-United.

When everyone was Heavenly King, he was Heavenly King.

In any case, not too high, not too low, not the most top-tier, but definitely the kind you could rely on, and never the one to be overlooked or left behind.

Su Yu said he had walked the Human Sovereign's Great Path—well, well, he just knew the Human Sovereign's Great Path.

Su Yu discovered the passage to Burial Soul Mountain—well, well, he immediately came with a hindsight remark, saying he knew about that passage.

In short, regarding the Great Zhou King, Su Yu felt that he might still have some hidden moves. Of course, they might not be too strong. If he were truly powerful beyond imagination, the Great Zhou King would have stepped forward long ago. But perhaps the Great Zhou King was confident that at a critical moment, he could trigger another Tide Change.

The ninth ended, and the tenth began. When the tenth ends, if the Human Sovereign and the others have not yet returned, could there be an eleventh?

...

Just as Su Yu was pondering this.

Inside Su Yu's cosmic world.

Underground.

Lantian conveyed Su Yu's orders. At this moment, everyone turned to look at the Great Zhou King. At the critical moment, the Great Zhou King held command over everything.

At this moment, everyone fixed their gaze on the Great Zhou King.

Even Wan Tiansheng and a few others looked at the Great Zhou King with a smile.

And the Great Zhou King, with a face full of embarrassment, said: "This... Lord Wan, how could I know what His Majesty is thinking? How could such a heavy responsibility be entrusted to me! My strength is meager. I think it's better for Lord Wan to take charge!"

Wan Tiansheng chuckled lightly: "His Majesty has the final say. Why must the Great Zhou King be so modest? When it comes to scheming, I am naturally no match for the Great Zhou King!"

"That's not how you put it..."

Wan Tiansheng interrupted with a smile: "Is it not so? I lay low in the academy for many years, waiting for the right moment, yet everything was actually under the Great Zhou King's control! Outsiders all thought I was merely a Mountain and Sea realm cultivator—I doubt the Great Zhou King ever thought so!"

Having said this, Wan Tiansheng let out a sigh: "I actually only want to ask one thing... Great Zhou King, would you mind having a chat with me?"

The Great Zhou King raised an eyebrow slightly, then quickly smiled: "Of course!"

"Please!"

Wan Tiansheng walked ahead, and the Great Zhou King soon followed.

Avoiding the others, the two walked to an empty area ahead.

...

Once the others were out of sight, the Great Zhou King smiled: "Lord Wan, is there something you wish to ask me? I will tell you everything I know..."

Wan Tiansheng turned his head to look at him and said calmly: "I don't have much to ask. I just want to know one thing—does my Senior Brother Ye have any connection with the Great Zhou King?"

"..."

The Great Zhou King looked puzzled: "Ye Batian? He has... no connection with me."

"Is that so?"

Wan Tiansheng smiled faintly: "Great Zhou King, then let me ask a few more questions! Xia Chen—did he only emerge with the Literary King's inheritance in this tide?"

"Yes."

"Why did he not appear in the previous nine tides?"

Wan Tiansheng said solemnly: "Why, in this tide, did Xia Chen appear with the Literary King's inheritance? Not only that—this tide has brought forth too many things! The Ink Dao appeared and was inherited by Liu Hong! The Brush Dao was inherited by His Majesty! The Inkstone Dao—that is, the Literary King's former residence—also appeared in this tide! The Paper Dao, likewise!"

"The Literary King's Four Daos have all appeared in this tide!"

"The Martial Emperor awakened in this tide!"

"Then the Star Universe Seal appeared as a result; otherwise, without the Literary King's residence opening, where would one find the Star Universe Seal?"

"The Literary King's inheritance, the Human Sovereign's inheritance—these should be the two greatest hidden cards left by the entire human race after the ancient evacuation... and they have all appeared now, not in Bai Zhan's era!"

"Nine is the limit! In Bai Zhan's era, logically speaking, with his talent, obtaining these would have been better... but it was not Bai Zhan. Of course, perhaps at that time, someone considered letting these things emerge. But when he sensed Bai Zhan's true intentions, when he discovered that the Fire-Passing lineage was facing a crisis, being squeezed out, even secretly harmed... he chose to initiate the tenth tide!"

Wan Tiansheng looked at the Great Zhou King and said calmly: "I don't really care about these things. I only want to know about Senior Brother Ye!"

Wan Tiansheng said solemnly: "Senior Brother Ye actually played a tremendous role in this series of upheavals! Although his strength now seems very weak, because of Senior Brother Ye, the entire world knows that the Multi-Pattern Literature faction is actually very powerful! Before Senior Brother Ye, the first generation Xia Chen, the third generation Nan Wujiang, none of them had as great a reputation as Senior Brother Ye. The Multi-Pattern Literature faction was not famous at the beginning either!"

"Only after Senior Brother Ye rose and even died in battle did the Multi-Pattern Literature faction become something the myriad races feared, and also a place that only recruited some top-tier geniuses!"

"The Great Zhou Mansion, whether intentionally or unintentionally, oppressed them, causing the Multi-Pattern Literature faction to face a great crisis, a crisis of life and death!"

"Thus... His Majesty appeared!"

Wan Tiansheng said calmly: "Otherwise, even if His Majesty had inherited the Time Master's Time Book, if the situation had not been so urgent, many wars would not have broken out prematurely. If he had joined the Single-Pattern Literature faction... the entire myriad realms would now be in a state of peace!"

"But how long can peace last? The Human Sovereign and the others are about to return soon. If someone senses this now, grows anxious, realizes time is running out, might they trigger a series of changes ahead of schedule?"

Wan Tiansheng looked at the Great Zhou King and said again: "Afterward, I searched many times in the River of the Dead, but I never found my senior brother!"

He looked at the Great Zhou King: "Does the Great Zhou King know where my senior brother went?"

The Great Zhou King frowned: "Ye Batian is dead. Perhaps he hasn't revived, perhaps he is still in the River of the Dead, perhaps he hasn't recovered his memories. He wasn't strong in life—isn't that perfectly normal?"

Wan Tiansheng nodded slightly: "Then let me ask another question—whose man is Liu Hong, really?"

"Hmm?"

The Great Zhou King looked at him. Wan Tiansheng said calmly: "No, or rather, whose arrangement was it for Liu Hong to inherit the Ink Dao? Liu Hong actually knows many things, but some things he may not have lied about. He might have gained some insights out of nowhere, even seen some memories... He said he saw them from the Dao. Can the Dao show such things?"

"Liu Hong said that divine patterns are rules! It was precisely because of this that His Majesty and I understood many things. That single sentence alone is not something an ordinary Dao-United cultivator could see through!"

"And Liu Hong inheriting the Ink Dao—was it prepared for resurrecting someone?"

Wan Tiansheng looked at the Great Zhou King: "And resurrecting Xingyue—was it because she mastered the Dao of Life, and someone felt she needed to go to the front lines to support the Human Sovereign and the others?"

The Great Zhou King said solemnly: "Tiansheng, you are overthinking!"

Wan Tiansheng smiled: "Not at all, not at all. Then let me ask you—do you not know Xingyue?"

"I don't!"

The Great Zhou King shook his head: "I only followed His Majesty at the end of the Human Sovereign's era, near the end of the human realm. Xingyue died too early. Later, His Majesty never mentioned these things, so naturally I wouldn't know!"

Wan Tiansheng laughed: "Is that so? Well, say what you will!"

Wan Tiansheng had actually more or less figured out some of the Great Zhou King's plans.

Perhaps, in the ninth tide, he had intended to act, to help Bai Zhan suppress the myriad races, so as to greet the Human Sovereign's return in the strongest posture, or even take the initiative to aid the Human Sovereign.

However, soon the Great Zhou King realized something was wrong!

Bingku, Danyu—these people were clearly arranged by the Great Zhou King. Unfortunately, Bai Zhan seemed to have betrayed them, forcing the Great Zhou King to lie low and suppress everything he had originally planned to reveal!

He must have known where the Literary King's inheritance was. He must have known that the War King lineage was guarding the Literary King's tombstone.

But he did not bring them out.

Bai Zhan suddenly awakened the Ancestral Bloodline and began to lean toward the Human Ancestor. The pursuits of the Human Ancestor and the Human Sovereign were not necessarily aligned. There must have been some conflict in this.

Thus, the tenth tide came into being. This tide, in truth, had but one master—the Great Zhou King!

From beginning to end, it was so!

Whether the Great Qin King or Su Yu, both were thrust into power by the Great Zhou King.

The matter of Ye Batian was a monumental turning point for the Multi-God Literary Sect. Wan Tiansheng could not believe that the Great Zhou King could truly ignore something so significant.

The Multi-God Literary Sect was the legacy of the Literary King. Others knew this—did the Great Zhou King not?

That humans were ignorant was only natural!

Yet even Tian Mie knew that the Literary Tombstone was left by the Literary King. Could the Great Zhou King be utterly unaware?

Impossible!

Still, the Literary Tombstone had lain in the Civilization Academy for fifty years. Even after Ye Batian fell, even when the Multi-God Literary Sect of the academy had waned to near extinction, this mighty one, who knew what the tombstone truly was, never came to claim it.

Did the Great Zhou King care nothing for the Path of the Brush?

Even if he did not know it was the Path of the Brush, could he not have suspected it might involve the Literary King’s legacy?

Yet he never once touched that Literary Tombstone.

Had he taken it away early, none of this would have happened!

Su Yu would not have learned the Multi-God Literary combat techniques, would not have touched the Path of the Brush. And without the Path of the Brush—though it might seem trivial now—it was, in truth, the key to Su Yu’s creation of the heavens.

Those ninety-nine divine runes were the very foundation upon which the heavens were built.

Countless thoughts swirled in Wan Tiansheng’s mind. Soon, he ceased his brooding: “Great Zhou King, regardless of everything, humanity’s present state owes much to your merit! Since His Majesty believes you can handle the crisis, I hope that when trouble arises, you will give it your full attention. Humanity—or rather, the Human Emperor and his kind—cannot wait for another human sovereign!”

The Great Zhou King smiled. “That goes without saying!”

Wan Tiansheng nodded slightly, then quickly added, “Then, Great Zhou King, when will you reach the Heavenly Sovereign realm?”

The Great Zhou King chuckled lightly. “Hard to say—it depends on luck!”

Wan Tiansheng furrowed his brow. “Let it be the next time! The next time someone ascends to Heavenly Sovereign, or when either I or Lan Tian reach that level, you too shall become a Heavenly Sovereign!”

“…”

The Great Zhou King was speechless!

As if becoming a Heavenly Sovereign were so simple.

Wan Tiansheng pressed on. “As for the ‘Little Hundred Strike’ His Majesty mentioned, and some of his conjectures—do you find them plausible, Great Zhou King?”

“There is some truth to them!”

The Great Zhou King nodded. “In truth, I am not entirely clear on these matters. However… the son of the Hundred Battle King is indeed quite mysterious. Even I have never actually seen him.”

The Great Zhou King had once cooperated with the Giant Clan.

Wan Tiansheng nodded, taking that as confirmation. He then asked, “Do you think he knows of our existence now? If he is in the Chaos, and given the recent disturbances there—including His Majesty’s creation of the heavens—could he be watching us from the shadows?”

The Great Zhou King raised an eyebrow. “Hard to say. He might know, or he might not.”

“Then all of His Majesty’s hidden cards would be fully exposed to the Hundred Battle side!”

Wan Tiansheng’s gaze grew deep. “Great Zhou King, if that opponent is truly formidable—even reaching the level of the Martial Emperor—do you think we can handle him?”

The Martial Emperor was incredibly strong!

Of course, the currently sealed Martial Emperor was insignificant.

Speaking of the Martial Emperor, Wan Tiansheng added with a smile, “The Martial Emperor was sealed for years, only beginning to stir in recent times. And it just so happened that His Majesty encountered him—what a coincidence! To open 360 yuan apertures to hear certain voices… Before His Majesty, had no one in all of humanity ever opened 360 yuan apertures? If I’m not mistaken, the Hundred Battle King must have opened them too. He must have visited the Starry Mansion—why did he never hear any voices?”

“Well…”

The Great Zhou King pondered for a moment. “Perhaps the Martial Emperor’s will only began to revive in these past few years. Before that, it might have been completely dormant.”

“Very well!”

Wan Tiansheng felt like tearing off the Great Zhou King’s old mask to see if he would blush, but on second thought, he let it go.

Since Su Yu hadn’t pressed the matter, he too would refrain.

Still, the two exchanged glances, both wearing amiable smiles—a look that said, as clear as day, “You’re no saint either.”

…

All of this, Su Yu did not know.

Of course, he understood that he had entrusted great authority to the Great Zhou King, and that Wan Tiansheng and the others would keep a close watch, not allowing him to run amok.

Now, the sky was gradually brightening.

Without another word, Su Yu strode through the air, heading straight for the Human Mountain region.

To seize the Dragon Heavenly Sovereign!

…

At the Human Mountain.

At that moment, a host of mighty figures were beginning their descent.

Of course, they had not followed Su Yu’s demand to don ancient attire—that would be too shameful. The myriad races did not wish to give anyone the impression that they had once again submitted to humanity.

Soon, the two sides faced each other across the void.

The distance was closing.

Leading the group this time was the Immortal Clan’s Holy Marquis.

This time, all the great powers had come out in force.

There were many Heavenly Sovereigns!

Even the newly ascended Heavenly Sovereign, Yuan Holy Marquis, had come along.

The Immortal Clan, as always, was overwhelmingly powerful.

Holy Marquis, Dao Heavenly Sovereign, Desolate Heavenly Sovereign, Yuan Holy Marquis—four Heavenly Sovereign-level experts in total.

The Divine Clan, meanwhile, fielded the Former Imperial Consort, Sun Crown Heavenly Sovereign, and Moon Heavenly Sovereign.

As for the Demon Clan, only two Heavenly Sovereigns were present: Mo Heavenly Sovereign and Demon Heaven.

Though “Mo Heavenly Sovereign” and “Demon Heaven” sounded similar in human speech, in the Demon tongue, the difference was vast.

Just these three clans alone had produced nine Heavenly Sovereigns.

Add to that others like Nether Heavenly Sovereign, Dragon Heavenly Sovereign, Phoenix Heavenly Sovereign, Thunderstorm, and Fate—fourteen top-tier experts had all gathered.

Soon, the two sides were less than a kilometer apart.

March and the others were on high alert, fearing they might be surrounded and annihilated. Who knew if these fellows would suddenly turn on them? Fourteen top-tier experts, plus a batch of Heavenly Kings—even with their own considerable strength, they could not hope to match such a force.

…

The two sides met.

As soon as they did, Su Yu spoke with displeasure: “What, I’ve come to serve as your vanguard, and you can’t even grant me such a small request?”

Moon Heavenly Sovereign was the first to speak, a smile on his face: “Lord Su, you brought this up so suddenly—we had no time to prepare! Those ancient garments were long ago destroyed. To bring them up now, we would need to find elders versed in such matters to restore them. These things cannot be made carelessly; a shoddy imitation would only bring more shame!”

Su Yu narrowed his eyes. This fellow certainly knew how to talk.

Su Yu said indifferently, "Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you! This time I can serve as the vanguard, but when will the myriad races dispatch their troops? Don't wait until I'm surrounded and killed before you show up!"

Moon Heavenly Sovereign laughed again, "Of course we won't stand idly by! We'll escort the Human Sovereign to the Chaos River. This time, as long as the Human Sovereign's side can lure away two Heavenly Sovereigns, we'll strike immediately and wipe out the Sin Clan's territory!"

Moon Heavenly Sovereign smiled, "This is also for a more advantageous cooperation between us. Otherwise, if both sides fight together, we might not trust each other and would worry about mutual restraint."

This was the truth!

Su Yu nodded, "And if the opponent's Rule Master suddenly appears..."

Moon Heavenly Sovereign laughed, "If he appears, we'll fight this time too! If the Human Sovereign's side can spare the effort to deal with that Rule Master, that would be best. If not... it's necessary for us to join forces against him."

Su Yu nodded, and at that moment, he looked deep into Chaos Mountain, took a deep breath, and said, "The enemy might already be waiting for us. I think this time the Sin Clan will also come out in full force—it's probably not that simple."

Everyone nodded. This time was indeed not simple; perhaps many strong warriors would die.

This was also the reason everyone wanted Su Yu's side to be the vanguard.

In the first wave, the Prison King's lineage would certainly resist fiercely.

Previously, Su Yu had severely injured Yue Hao by surprise, but this time, there would be no such opportunity.

This was a tough battle!

Su Yu glanced sideways at the crowd. Dragon Heavenly Sovereign was indeed on one side, not far from Thunderstorm, who seemed to be saying something to him. He was somewhat distant from the other Heavenly Sovereigns.

First, snatch Dragon Heavenly Sovereign—that was the priority. The key was that his weapon might not appear; if it didn't, he'd have to be beaten up some more.

And the other Heavenly Sovereigns would likely all make a move.

If a Heavenly Sovereign's weapon couldn't be obtained by asking, it had to be taken by force.

Moreover, this Shit Mountain should be quite important to Hongmeng.

It was best to get it into his own hands!

At that moment, Su Yu smiled and said, "Then let's enter Chaos Mountain together. You fellows promised to see me off with the rites of an emperor, but in the end, none of you took it to heart. I'm quite disappointed!"

After speaking, he walked forward first and transmitted a message to Tongtian: "Later, instantly teleport us to Dragon Heavenly Sovereign's side!"

"Got it!"

Tongtian replied.

Meanwhile, in the crowd, Tiangu and his group followed. Tiangu was also watching Su Yu. Su Yu hadn't thrown a tantrum this time and was obediently going to be the vanguard—he was actually a bit uneasy about it.

With Su Yu, if he didn't cause some trouble, Tiangu felt uncomfortable, thinking this wasn't Su Yu's style at all.

Tiangu felt somewhat awkward.

Then he thought he was overthinking.

Su Yu's target was the Prison King's lineage; causing trouble now wouldn't benefit him.

The group continued forward.

With so many strong warriors, even the ancient beasts on the outskirts of Chaos Mountain retreated one after another.

The aura of the group shook heaven and earth.

Deep within Chaos Mountain, in that kingdom surrounded by mountains, a group of strong warriors stood solemnly, fully prepared.

The voice of that ancestor echoed through the mountains: "The myriad races and Su Yu's group already know our purpose, and their treacherous hearts are not dead! Our sacred clan has lain dormant for countless ages. As long as we take these people, the entire myriad realms will be under our control!"

"Wait peacefully for the Hell Gate to open, for the ancestors to return... The path of the sacred clan will surely illuminate the myriad realms, turning the myriad realms and all heavens into the dojo of the sacred clan!"

The ancestor's voice continuously echoed through the mountains, cold and harsh: "Now, we are summoning the return of the Prison Azure Sovereign! Prison Azure Sovereign is one who has truly attained the Dao of Chaos, wielding the will of Chaos!"

"As long as Prison Azure Sovereign returns, all obstacles will turn to nothing!"

"..."

This ancestor was also inspiring morale, shouting in a low voice: "Our sacred clan is not inferior to the myriad races, but our goal is to still preserve strong combat power after defeating the myriad races, not to suffer heavy losses!"

This was also the mindset of all races—fighting to a mutual destruction was not a big problem.

But no one wanted that.

At that moment, below, a group of strong warriors shouted with vigor: "We will do our utmost!"

The ancestor nodded and shouted: "Then defend against the enemy outside, don't let them interfere with our summoning of Prison Azure Sovereign!"

In an instant, four Heavenly Sovereign auras and over ten Heavenly King auras appeared, followed by dozens of top-tier Dao-Integration experts, all flying out of the mountain.

Except for Yue Hao, who was seriously injured, the several Heavenly Sovereigns known to the myriad races, including Yue Luo, all set out.

But that ancestor of the Prison King's lineage did not go out.

His voice echoed, but he himself remained deep in the mountains.

Right in front of the Hell Gate!

Waiting for his senior sister to return!

Behind the Hell Gate, pairs of eyes appeared. Among them, a pair of eyes filled with wisdom projected toward the ancestor, and a voice faintly came: "Yue Zhan, how much longer until it's done?"

Outside the gate, the ancestor of the Prison King's lineage, Yue Zhan, said in a deep voice: "Soon... if the myriad races don't interfere, at most three hours, and we can summon senior sister back!"

Behind the gate, the eyes carried some anger: "The news leaked... too early!"

Right at this moment!

She was very displeased!

Yue Zhan had nothing to say. It was indeed too coincidental, so coincidental that he wondered if someone in the clan had leaked the secret.

Did Su Yu really learn it from the projection of the Hell Gate?

But now was not the time to investigate.

...

At the same time.

Su Yu and his group had already arrived near the Chaos River.

On both sides, some ancient beast strong warriors were vaguely spying in their direction.

Su Yu looked around and smiled, "Then see me off here. I can already sense the enemy's aura rising—they seem eager to wait for me. Everyone, be sure to rescue in time... Otherwise, if we can't win, we'll definitely flee!"

After saying that, Su Yu laughed, "How about... we just charge up together? Doing it this way, I always feel unsafe—it's a bit like a piecemeal tactic!"

At that moment, from behind, Dragon Heavenly Sovereign casually added, "Since the Human Sovereign has taken our things, it's more appropriate to first probe the enemy's situation..."

He just said it casually.

But Su Yu was just waiting to pick a fight with him!

The next moment, before others could react, Su Yu suddenly roared, "How dare you! Is it your place to question me? Kill!"

Boom!

Su Yu and his group instantly appeared before Dragon Heavenly Sovereign.

Everyone was stunned!

Their heads were buzzing!

What the hell?

Aren't you supposed to be heading out to battle?

Fuck!

What's with this sudden change of heart?

At this moment, even the former imperial consorts were stunned; after the shock came fury, and the Saint Marquis roared, joining Sun Crown Celestial and the others as they struck at Su Yu and his group!

Damn it!

What the hell is this guy up to?

And at that moment, Tian Gu's face shifted; the next instant, as if realizing something, he shouted, "Don't—"

A sudden clash now would be ill-advised.

But Su Yu and his crew had already struck, charging at the still-dazed Dragon Celestial.

Dragon Celestial's face twisted in horror!

Fuck!

Why?

I just said a word, and this madman wants to kill me.

Four Celestials!

And Su Yu's aura was overwhelmingly powerful, giving him a sense of mortal danger.

Dragon Celestial bellowed; before him, a colossal mountain suddenly materialized—this was Dragon Coil Mountain, a bizarre peak like a giant turtle bearing a dragon.

Forged into a weapon of immense might.

Now, Dragon Celestial had no other choice—defend, hold them off!

Or else, he would die!

As he summoned the mountain, he tried to flee, but in that instant, his scalp tingled!

Behind him... danger!

He had meant to retreat, but now he froze, his hairs standing on end—danger from the rear!

Thunderstorm!

Yes, that beast Thunderstorm—damn it, he was in league with Su Yu!

They were all insane!

Boom!

As these thoughts raced through his mind, the four mighty ones struck as one; the other three all aimed at Dragon Celestial, while Fat Ball opened his maw wide and swallowed the giant mountain whole!

Boom!

A thunderous crash rang out; Su Yu and the three, including Giant Axe, each threw a punch, sending Dragon Celestial flying millions of meters, blood spewing from his mouth, his body riddled with gaping wounds.

Su Yu instantly turned his fist into a blade, slashing at Dragon Celestial with a fierce will: "Release control of Dragon Coil Mountain, or you die!"

As Dragon Celestial hurtled backward, he saw the blade before him!

Terror and despair mingled; then, clinging to a last shred of hope, he roared, spat out a mouthful of blood, and relinquished control of Dragon Coil Mountain.

"Retreat!"

Su Yu barked, and in an instant, the group vanished before Dragon Celestial's eyes.

At that moment, the killing blows from Saint Marquis and the others arrived, crashing down with a roar that shattered heaven and earth!

Then Su Yu's voice echoed: "Just a joke, and you took it seriously? We're off to kill—charge, kill those accursed bastards!"

Saint Marquis and the others turned to see Su Yu and his band howling as they charged into the depths of Chaos Mountain!

Some wanted to pursue but quickly halted; then, they exchanged glances, their eyes filled with strange emotions.

Some were furious, others resigned.

What now...?
