Chapter 270: Wait to Die? Who Said That?
Chapter 270: Wait to Die? Who Said That?
All the cultivators within the hidden realm turned their gaze toward the black rift floating in the sky. Tension gripped everyone, as if a great calamity was about to descend upon them.
These cultivators, hidden deep within the Star Sea Sect, had already witnessed the deaths of many of their comrades at the hands of Tian Wuchang. His ability to penetrate their deepest defenses was a testament to his formidable power.
A figure emerged from the black rift, none other than Tian Wuchang himself. He stood bare-chested, with disheveled hair, and a large python coiled around his waist. The Python's body was covered in black scales, and its head looped around his back, emerging from his left shoulder, continually flicking its tongue.
His upper body was adorned with strange black patterns, making him appear even more terrifying.
From afar, his eyes locked onto An Hao, causing the latter to frown.
Tian Wuchang’s lips curled into a defiant grin.
“Form your formation quickly. Let’s see if the Star Sea Cosmic Flag is as formidable as it once was.”
Tian Wuchang’s voice echoed, and with a flick of his hand, a terrifying gale of wind erupted, sweeping across countless miles.
The floating islands activated their protective formations, each enveloped in a glowing barrier. Despite this, all the islands trembled violently.
Daming Tian stood at the edge of a cliff, gripping the Star Seaomic Flag in one hand, standing tall against the wind.
With a cold snort, he raised the flag, which soared into the air, rapidly expanding to a height of ten thousand feet, casting the entire floating island into shadow.
Not just the main flag, but also the small flags on Daming Tian’s headpiece ascended into the sky, aligning with the colossal black flag and rapidly growing larger.
There were twelve Star Seaomic Flags in total!
“Twelve flags, your prowess is commendable, but it’s far from enough.”
Tian Wuchang sneered. He waved his hand again, and this time, a terrifying blood wind surged from the black rift, like a flood breaking its banks, unstoppable.
In an instant, the blood wind collided with the twelve Star Seaomic Flags!
The immense flags trembled, and countless stars embedded in their surfaces burst into light. Below, the ocean surged, forming a massive hand that reached for Tian Wuchang.
Tian Wuchang stepped forward, his right foot striking the ground with such force that it shattered the massive hand below.
Daming Tian’s brow furrowed, his eyes brimming with apprehension.
“Eighth layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, your cultivation is indeed high. But it seems you’ve spent most of your time enhancing your cultivation, leaving your magical power somewhat weak.”
Tian Wuchang’s laughter reverberated through the heavens, causing all the Star Sea Sect cultivators to pale.
Could this divine ghost king be even stronger than their Sect Leader?
“Hmph! Defeat me first before you speak!”
Daming Tian’s voice rang out as he leaped into the air, arms spread wide, swiftly casting spells. The twelve Star Seaomic Flags whipped up a tempest, their surfaces flapping with a roar, and meteors flew out, creating a deafening din, an endless barrage hurtling toward Tian Wuchang.
In a moment, the entire ocean darkened, countless meteors blotting out the sky. Some flew directly at Tian Wuchang, while others circled, seemingly forming a formation.
Tian Wuchang advanced, each step sending shockwaves through the air, visible streams of energy swirling around him.
His eyes refocused on An Hao, and even his voice transmitted to the latter:
“Adamantine Body, are you ready to be devoured by this seat of power? The stronger you are, the more I shall delight, and the more delighted I am, the less pain I will inflict upon you.”
Hearing his words, An Hao clenched his fists.
An Hao, though unafraid of Tian Wuchang, knew he was no match for the formidable foe. His greatest fear was involving the Star Sea Sect in his struggle.
Since he had embarked on the path of cultivation, all acknowledged his potential, yet he always relied on the aid of others. In the Grand Profound Sect, it was the same—his reliance on others for support had been a constant.
His heart was filled with frustration.
Why did the heavens not grant him the time?
Give him a thousand years, no, just five hundred, and he was confident he could ascend to immortality. Then, he would no longer need the protection of others!
To have such potential and still require the protection of others, in his eyes, this was a bitter irony.
BOOM—
A powerful gust of wind swept toward An Hao, reflecting the intense light in his eyes. Sect Leader Daming Tian and Tian Wuchang had already engaged in a fierce battle, their terrifying spells and divine arts shaking the floating island.
Tian Wuchang fought without the aid of magical treasures, relying solely on his physical strength. Facing the Star Seaomic Flag’s spells and divine arts, he shattered them with sheer force.
Looking back at An Hao, he said, “Hurry up, don’t just stand there!”
An Hao gritted his teeth, refusing to turn back.
Zhibei then spoke, “The enemy has already come to kill. Hiding in the hall will do you no good. This is the perfect opportunity to witness the battle.”
He turned his head, glancing sideways at An Hao.
“An Hao, watch closely. Remember the might of the ancient body. Today, many disciples have died for you, but we do not regret it. We will wait for you to grow strong. With your potential to dominate an era, the Star Sea Sect is willing to aid your growth.”
Hearing these words, An Hao felt even more guilty.
He wished to repay the Star Sea Sect in the future, but feared he would never have the chance.
At that moment, he thought of his Master.
In his understanding, only his Master could rival Tian Wuchang. His Master was an existence that had swept through the Seven Star Spirit Realm. Even if he could not slay Tian Wuchang, he could at least withstand the assault.
But he couldn't call for his master; he didn't have that kind of face.
Master is the most afraid of trouble, yet he has already asked for his help more than once...
An Hao stared intently at Tian Wu Chang, flames beginning to engulf his body. His hair turned to fire, making him look like a sun deity, radiating divine energy.
On the other side...
In another small realm of the Star Sea Sect.
Li Ya, dressed in black, stood at the edge of a cliff, gazing at the sky, where a dazzling light appeared, unpredictable and ever-changing.
His brows furrowed as he murmured, "An Hao."
The news of Tian Wu Chang coming to forcibly take the Fiery Treasure Body had already spread, and he had heard it too. So he immediately guessed that today's commotion was aimed at An Hao.
Though he always lost to An Hao, he didn't want An Hao to die.
A genius like An Hao, if he couldn't grow, it would be a great pity. At least, that's what Li Ya thought.
He could lose, but he couldn't lose his goal to chase.
A figure appeared beside Li Ya, none other than Xuan Tian Yi.
Xuan Tian Yi, seeing Li Ya still there, let out a sigh of relief. He said sternly, "Don't even think about helping An Hao. Your Divine City is powerful, but you can't wield its full power yet. The Divine Grievous Spirits aren't just watching An Hao; they're watching you too."
Li Ya looked at the sky and asked, "Senior, how do we deal with the calamity brought by the Divine Grievous Spirits? This is more terrifying than the demonic calamity we faced on the continent. A single Ghost King could easily breach our Star Sea Sect..."
Xuan Tian Yi fell silent for a moment before saying, "Great powers will intervene. This isn't something we should concern ourselves with."
"Divine Grievous Spirits... Divine City..."
Li Ya's eyes flickered, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.
He suddenly asked, "Senior Xuan, any news of Zhang Buku yet?"
Xuan Tian Yi shook his head and looked at the sky, his heart equally filled with worry.
But what good would worry do?
This wasn't on the continent, where his Great Ascension Realm cultivation was of no use.
...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ocean churned up monstrous waves, floating islands shattered, and the sky was filled with lightning and fire. Black holes continuously appeared at the horizon, and powerful cultivators of the Star Sea Sect rushed to aid the Dark Heaven.
Dark Heaven, holding two banners, was covered in blood but continued to battle against Tian Wu Chang.
Tian Wu Chang punched, and Dark Heaven crossed his banners to block, but the overwhelming force still pushed him back hundreds of miles. His hands, gripping the Star Sea Primordial Banner, trembled, blood seeping from his palms.
The ten Star Sea Primordial Banners in the sky unleashed countless lightning bolts, intertwining on Tian Wu Chang.
"Ha ha ha! So satisfying! So satisfying!"
Tian Wu Chang roared, the pain from his physical body only making him more frenzied, his aura rising even higher.
His eyes glowed with murderous intent!
He turned his gaze to An Hao, who was furious, and taunted, "Feel anger, feel despair, but you can only watch me tear them apart!"
His laughter echoed through the heavens, drowning out all other noise.
An Hao was utterly enraged, wanting to rush forward, but the surrounding cultivators held him back.
"Your going in would only cause more trouble for the Sect Leader!" Chi Jiuxiao said solemnly, his Dragon Slaying Spear blocking An Hao's chest.
He was secretly alarmed; this kid's life flame was so intense?
An Hao grabbed the Dragon Slaying Spear with both hands, his eyes locked on Tian Wu Chang, gritting his teeth, "But..."
"But what! If we die, we'll die first!" an old cultivator said sternly.
The other great cultivators around them also spoke harshly, ready to die, no one blamed An Hao, making him feel even worse.
"Are we really just waiting to die..." An Hao's face was filled with frustration, his anger fueling the flames around him.
"Waiting to die? Who said that?"
A voice reached An Hao's ears, making him instinctively feel irritated.
Before he could respond, the surrounding cultivators turned around, as if all startled.
Chi Jiuxiao, looking behind An Hao, called out in surprise, "Senior Fu! How did you get here?"
An Hao's body trembled at the sound, the flames around him quickly dissipating.
His body stiffened, and he cautiously turned his head. Just as he did, he saw a familiar figure walking past him, heading straight for the front.
It was none other than Gu An, who had just used the Nine Extremes Yin-Yang Body.
The dark purple shadow struck the eyes of the surrounding cultivators. Apart from Chi Jiuxiao and Chi Bei, the other cultivators were secretly terrified.
Where did this person come from?
They hadn't sensed his presence at all!
An Hao, regaining his senses, hurriedly said, "Master, he's one of the nine Divine Grievous Spirit Kings, the Supreme Treasure Body of Tian Wu Chang, he..."
"Enough, just a mere ant. Why introduce me to it?" Gu An said, causing everyone around to change expressions dramatically.
An Hao was stunned, feeling a weight lifted, a smile appearing on his face.
"Ant? What a bold claim. Who are you?" Tian Wu Chang's icy voice carried a murderous intent.
Clearly, he was enraged by Gu An's words!
Third update!
