Chapter 286: Ang Xiao Enters the Game!
Chapter 286: Ang Xiao Enters the Game!
As Suo Huan’s attempt to seize the Golden Core collapsed and the three factions turned to divide the spoils, the Veil-Sun True Monarch Ang Xiao finally made his move. In an instant, the Overseas Dominion became the focus of the entire cultivation world.
At the same time, other True Monarchs sensed the shift and reacted with alarm.
“Ang Xiao… he’s abandoning the Everflowing Water?”
“Or does he believe the Everflowing Water is safe, immune to Suo Huan’s interference, and his Golden Core Late status will remain unchallenged?”
“Where is this confidence coming from?”
This time was different. Previously, Chongguang’s failure had stemmed from unpreparedness and information gaps. But now, the factions had united through Suo Huan to destabilize the Everflowing Water Fruit Throne. If the Everflowing Water was sealed or retreated into hiding, even if the Chen Earth’s yin-yang properties were altered, Ang Xiao’s cultivation would still plummet.
How could he remain indifferent?
Unless… he planned to replace it with the Celestial River Water? But could Fruit Thrones truly be swapped so easily?
Or worse—was he not even the real Ang Xiao?
Was he scheming something else entirely?
In that moment, countless True Monarchs began divining, calculating outcomes. Yet all heavenly mechanisms were veiled—no one could discern the truth.
In a flash, the three True Monarchs present reached a decision.
“We cannot let him succeed!”
Beyond them, other True Monarchs joined the assault. The scene from the past—the siege against Ang Xiao—replayed as figures hurtled toward the Overseas Dominion.
“Xuan Yuan! Mingzhu! Yuan Xu! Aid me one last time!”
The Dragon Sovereign’s thunderous voice echoed. Moments later, three Dharma Bodies surged from the Four Seas Sect, intercepting the attacking True Monarchs.
“This is the final time.”
“After today, Mingzhu and the Dragon Clan are even.”
“Hmph, I’m getting too old for this…”
The Foundation Building Stage realm warped as a dozen True Monarchs clashed. Their energies intertwined, warping heaven and earth into chaos. Under the Everflowing Water’s influence, the Overseas Dominion transformed endlessly—volcanoes erupted, islands surfaced, frost rained from the sky, and seaweed spread like wildfire, consuming the realm in a cataclysmic surge.
This spectacle lasted half a watch.
The Four Seas Sect’s resistance exceeded expectations, and with Tian Qiu’s timing aligning perfectly with Suo Huan’s golden core bid, the latter ultimately succeeded.
With a deafening roar, the Underworld’s gate stabilized. Behind it, the Veil-Sun True Monarch Ang Xiao grinned, raising his palm toward the heavens.
“Not a chance!”
Simultaneously, all the True Monarchs erupted. Their overwhelming power shattered the Dragon Sovereign and his three allies’ blockade, severing Ang Xiao from the Celestial River Water.
The next moment—
The Celestial River Water remained untouched.
But the Everflowing Water… stirred.
“Tch! That damned Veil of Cognition again!”
Only now did the three True Monarchs present realize their mistake—they’d overlooked Suo Huan.
Yet confusion lingered.
“The Celestial River Water was a decoy. He still wants the Everflowing Water. But how? Do they think we missed his move through Suo Huan? We already severed the Celestial Virtue Nourishing Water’s influence…”
Then their expressions shifted.
Because under Ang Xiao’s manipulation, the Everflowing Water defied logic, veering toward the newly opened Underworld gate!
This was impossible!
Ang Xiao had only interacted with Suo Huan once, granting him a single Celestial Virtue Nourishing Water—which the True Monarchs had already neutralized.
How had he done this?
Only Suo Huan understood. His eyes burned with fury:
“I’ve seen this before… you were there the year I met my master!”
But he’d forgotten!
On the day the Huan Xu Realm fell, Ang Xiao had appeared, bestowing him a cultivation technique.
“The Ten-Thousand Spirits Returning to Void Dao Sutra!” Suo Huan spat.
“It was never the Huan Xu Realm’s technique. You gave it to me under Jie Tian’s name. This scripture was never about seizing the Golden Core!”
This was Suo Huan’s despair—the realization that he’d never escaped the True Monarchs’ grasp, a puppet dancing on strings.
“Beast… beast!”
Understanding his helplessness, Suo Huan screamed in defeat. Anger and futility consumed him as he felt his essence drain—Ang Xiao was sacrificing him.
Yes, sacrificing.
The Ten-Thousand Spirits Returning to Void Dao Sutra was a ritual to offer one’s entire being to the Fruit Throne, triggering its collapse.
In an instant, Suo Huan’s body and cultivation burned to ash, leaving only his Golden Core soul clinging to survival.
And because his soul remained…
The Underworld appeared.
The soul of an outsider was an anomaly here. The Underworld’s gate opened to claim him for reincarnation.
And behind that gate stood… another Ang Xiao.
He’d been waiting. As the Underworld opened for Suo Huan, he reached out to seize the falling Everflowing Water.
Time itself seemed to freeze.
The Dragon Sovereign, who’d gambled everything, felt icy dread. He turned his mountainous golden eye toward the Overseas Dominion, where another Ang Xiao—his Chongguang Dao Aberration-forged clone—stood with folded hands, gazing serenely at the sky.
The Dragon Sovereign closed his colossal eye, whispering, “You promised me…”
“Promised what?” Ang Xiao finally glanced at him, his tone as dismissive as watching a mud-smeared loach in a pond. “You’ve called me Ang Xiao this whole time and still don’t understand? I’m the Holy Sect’s True Monarch, a Golden Core Late cultivator. Everyone knows I never keep promises.”
Time resumed. The Everflowing Water neared the Underworld gate. Ang Xiao smiled, drawing it into his grasp—
Then his expression contorted.
Without hesitation, he flung the Everflowing Water away, trying to sever the connection. Too late—
“Boom!!”
The Everflowing Water erupted, unleashing a tidal surge into the Underworld like a breached dam.
A long-suppressed, jubilant laughter followed:
“Hahahahaha!”
“Ang Xiao, did you enjoy my gift?”
This maniacal laughter was familiar to every True Monarch present—even Ang Xiao blinked in shock.
“Xue Feihong!?”
The next instant, the Everflowing Water’s form wavered, shedding its veil to reveal its true self—
“That’s not the Everflowing Water… it’s the Valleystream!”
The True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue emerged.
