Chapter 331: A Plan? The Yuzhi Elves' Wrath!
Chapter 331: A Plan? The Yuzhi Elves' Wrath!
Nanyu Region, Su Family Manor.
"Where are we supposed to find so much divine gold?"
Wu Jiuling groaned, "We don’t need to fully solidify the Heaven-Cleaving Axe, but at the very least, we need to solidify both sides of the blade to enhance its sharpness."
"But that would require at least ten fist-sized pieces of divine gold."
"Such a large quantity would require us to search through the entire continent to gather enough."
Su Nan and Su Changqing, standing nearby, were also at a loss.
Since returning from the secret realm, they had been pondering where to find the divine gold.
If it were just one or two pieces, the Su Family, with its current influence, could manage to obtain them with some effort.
But ten pieces?
Even if they scoured the entire Nanyu Region, it might not be enough.
"We don’t have it, so we’ll go to the various factions and hidden families!"
Su Nan suddenly stood up, looking into the distance.
"They haven’t settled the score for surrounding Changqing. This is the perfect opportunity to settle a few debts!"
A Su Family elder standing nearby smiled bitterly, "Lord, we can’t do that."
"We just wiped out the Buddhist sects, and the various factions on the continent are already on edge."
"If we make a move now, they might unite to destroy the Su Family."
"One misstep, and we’re finished!"
The Su Family had made too many bold moves recently, causing many to feel uneasy.
If the Su Family didn’t rein in its actions, the continent might no longer tolerate them.
If it came to that, it wouldn’t be like the Zhongzhou incident, which could be resolved easily.
After all, it would involve the life and death of various factions. Once a war broke out, it would be a battle to the bitter end.
In such a scenario, only the Darkness Restricted Zone would benefit.
"About this—"
Su Nan was about to say something, but Su Changqing shook his head, "Father, no."
"You’re about to leave, and the Su Family shouldn’t make too many enemies right now."
There was another layer to Su Changqing’s thoughts that he didn’t express.
He didn’t want the Su Family to face danger because of him.
Even if they managed to gather the required divine gold, he would feel uneasy.
Su Nan sighed, understanding Su Changqing’s thoughts.
It was indeed unwise, but if they didn’t take a risk, where would they find the divine gold?
Just as everyone was at a loss, a figure stomped into the room, muttering angrily.
"Damn, aren’t they just pushing us to our limits?"
Niuniu, looking furious, walked into the room.
Seeing Su Nan and Wu Jiuling, Niuniu was taken aback and quickly bowed.
"Brother Niuniu, didn’t you go to the Emperor’s Path? Why are you back so soon?"
Su Changqing asked.
"Ah, don’t even mention it."
Niuniu’s face grew even angrier, "It’s all because of those bastards from the myriad races."
"They said the human race is guilty, and the protagonist of this world is no longer the human race, so they set up some ridiculous test."
"Damn, we’re walking our own Emperor’s Path, but we have to pass their tests? It’s so damn frustrating!"
Niuniu drank a cup of tea, but his anger didn’t subside.
When he returned, many humans had already died.
He knew his limits; going there would just be a waste.
So, he decided to return to the Su Family.
"Are the myriad races that strong?"
Su Changqing was taken aback, "We have plenty of Heavenly Pride among the human race, and they’re still not their match?"
"They have the Celestial Emperor Slaughter Array."
Niuniu sighed, "If we could fight together, they wouldn’t stand a chance against the continent."
"But they have the advantage of time and place, setting up the array outside the Emperor’s Path."
"Our human race’s experts can’t interfere, so we have to go through their tests."
"The problem is, those three tests are incredibly difficult, and we have to face ninety percent of the continent’s experts."
Su Nan and Wu Jiuling’s faces darkened upon hearing this, realizing the severity of the situation.
The myriad races were effectively cutting off the human race’s opportunities!
Stopping ninety percent of the human race’s Heavenly Pride?
These people would be the main force in future battles.
If they couldn’t go to Yuzhi and strengthen themselves, the human race would surely be at a disadvantage in the final battle.
"How many of them are there, and what’s their strength?"
Su Changqing’s eyes narrowed, as if he had an idea.
"About a thousand."
"Their exact strength is unknown, but they are all at the Divine Law Realm."
"They’ve only just entered the Emperor’s Path, so not many have broken through to the Divine Principle Realm."
Niuniu finished and looked at Su Changqing, "You want to go to the Emperor’s Path?"
Su Changqing mused, "I have that idea."
Su Nan and Wu Jiuling, standing nearby, were initially confused.
But then Wu Jiuling’s eyes lit up, "You want to lead the continent’s Heavenly Pride to Yuzhi through the Emperor’s Path?"
Su Nan also understood immediately.
At this time, many of the continent’s Heavenly Pride couldn’t enter the Emperor’s Path.
If Su Changqing could lead them in, many would seek his help.
And if Su Changqing used this opportunity to request divine gold as payment, some major families would likely be willing.
After all, compared to the divine gold, Heavenly Pride is more important to a faction.
"I’m not the type to take advantage of others’ misfortunes."
Su Changqing smiled, looking into the distance, "I was born on this continent; how can I make things difficult for my own race?"
"Perhaps the myriad races have deep resources as well?"
Su Nan and Wu Jiuling’s eyes lit up, understanding Su Changqing’s thoughts.
But it would be difficult to achieve.
...
Meanwhile, in the Yuzhi Emperor’s Path.
Compared to the Cangyan Continent, the myriad races’ Heavenly Pride in Yuzhi had already been in the Emperor’s Path for some time.
They no longer had their own world and lived in Yuzhi.
Thus, they could enter the Emperor’s Path immediately and gain an advantage.
Among them was Hua Buyu, the Elven King, who had already entered Yuzhi.
At the moment, a beautiful woman in a red dress stood before a massive barrier, frowning slightly.
"It’s unbreakable; this barrier is too solid."
Hua Buyu sighed, looking helpless.
Beside her, the ancestral spirit, Aunt Liu, and River Lord wiped the sweat from their foreheads and stopped their attacks.
They were among the world’s peak experts.
But facing this massive barrier, they were at a loss.
"Buyu, are you sure the other Azure Lotus Bud is inside this barrier?"
River Lord couldn’t help but ask.
Hua Buyu, as a twelve-petal Azure Lotus Bud, had her ‘path’ determined the moment she took form.
Her goal was to achieve a thirty-six-petal Azure Lotus Bud, thereby breaking through to the Great Emperor realm!
At that time, with the Azure Lotus Bud as her true form, Hua Buyu would possess unimaginable power.
But who would have thought that although they found the location of the first Azure Lotus Bud, they couldn’t open the entrance.
No matter what method they used, the barrier remained unharmed.
"It’s definitely here; I can feel the pull of my origin."
Hua Buyu closed her eyes, sensing for a moment, then shook her head, "The other Azure Lotus Bud is too far away to locate."
"We can only fuse with this one first, strengthen our origin, and then search for the other."
Aunt Liu sighed, "There’s no choice; we’ll have to enter the Emperor’s Path."
"This barrier is incredibly large, probably extending deep into the Emperor’s Path."
"Perhaps only by breaking through the Emperor’s Path’s law barriers can we find a way to break this barrier."
River Lord nodded; it was their only option.
Hua Buyu’s eyes lit up, "Can I go now?"
"The Emperor’s Path on the continent has opened; Changqing should be coming soon."
"Can I go find Changqing to play?"
Yuzhi echoed with her joyful laughter.
River Lord and Aunt Liu, seeing Hua Buyu’s eyes curved into crescents, her smile radiant with vitality, couldn’t help but smile wryly.
It had been a long time since they had heard such laughter from the queen.
Only when talking about Su Changqing did Hua Buyu’s eyes light up, and she would chatter away nonstop.
Despite the long separation, this Shallow Lith Flower had not forgotten the first man she had ever seen in her life.
On the contrary, as time passed, her longing grew like fine wine, becoming increasingly rich and intense.
"The Human Race's Emperor's Path may be open, but Mr. Su might not be able to come up anytime soon."
He Bo looked in the direction of Cangyan Continent and said, "The Heavenly Prides of the myriad races have strengthened the seal."
"Even the Celestial Emperor Slaughter Array has been brought here; they are determined to cut off the Human Race’s future."
Aunt Liu nodded with a light sigh.
The Elves were once part of the myriad races, but they later moved to the Continent.
Whether the Human Race was guilty or not, they were not in a position to judge.
But after all, it was the Human Race’s Cangyan Continent that had taken them in.
"Hmph! Those people again!"
Hua Buyu’s eyebrows shot up in anger, "We taught them a lesson back then, and they still haven’t learned their lesson."
"Looking for a beating!"
Without any hesitation, Hua Buyu’s feet glowed with a green light, and she vanished from the spot, heading straight for the distance.
"The entrance to the Emperor's Path is guarded by the myriad races with the Celestial Emperor Slaughter Array."
"Isn’t it too risky for Her Majesty to go like this?"
He Bo frowned with concern.
"Risky?"
Aunt Liu smiled, "Go back and check the description of the Azure Lotus Bud of Creation in the Elf clan’s records."
"Can a mere Celestial Emperor Slaughter Array stop Her Majesty’s steps?"
"Hmph, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
With a disdainful snort, Aunt Liu also vanished from the spot.
Only He Bo awkwardly rubbed his nose, muttering to himself, "Indeed, a bit too cautious."
The Elf clan’s description of the Azure Lotus Bud of Creation was just one line.
When the lotus blooms, all things come to life; when the lotus rages, all beings tremble; no need for Heavenly Dao’s acknowledgment, a naturally born ancient emperor.
...
Outside the Emperor's Path on Cangyan Continent.
After several days, the Emperor's Path was already awash with blood and littered with corpses.
However, none of the bodies on it belonged to the myriad races; all were from the Continent’s beings.
During this time, many had successfully passed the three trials.
Among them were a few supreme experts who had passed through by sheer talent alone, such as Imperial Body Chu Xi, Phoenix Miao Feng, and the Ancient Sword World’s Li Bufan, and so on.
Their talents were either Imperial Bodies or close to it.
However, these people who had passed the trials did not leave immediately; instead, they coldly watched the myriad races’ Heavenly Prides, looking for a chance to strike.
All of them were proud and arrogant, and none could swallow their anger at being treated this way by the myriad races.
Moreover, the conflicts and enmities among the Continent’s various forces were their own business.
Once they stepped onto the Emperor's Path, they all shared the same name: the Human Race!
They watched helplessly as their kin were slaughtered below, their anger boiling.
But with so many enemies and the Celestial Emperor Slaughter Array nearby, they found no opportunity to act.
"What, no one is making a move anymore?"
On the Emperor's Path, Kasa looked at the Continent’s Heavenly Prides, who had not moved for a long time, and said coldly:
"Can’t even pass the three trials and still want to enter the Emperor's Path?"
"Yuzhi’s terror is far beyond what your Continent can compare to. Going back to live out your days in peace is not a bad choice."
The Continent’s Heavenly Prides all glared in anger at his words.
However, facing the myriad races’ Heavenly Prides within the Celestial Emperor Slaughter Array, they felt utterly helpless.
Just then, a brilliant golden light, like a bolt of lightning, appeared on the Emperor's Path.
"Great roc? No, this is the Heavenly Peng clan!"
Seeing the newcomer, Kasa’s eyes narrowed, and his expression became more serious.
In terms of status, the Heavenly Peng clan was far superior to the Skyhorn Clan in the myriad races.
He hadn’t expected to see a pure-blooded member of the Heavenly Peng clan on Cangyan Continent.
"You may pass."
Without hesitation, Kasa said directly.
"Pass?"
Little Peng King’s sharp eyes looked at Kasa, and he said coldly, "We haven’t even fought yet, how can you declare I’ve passed?"
"Besides, who are you to judge whether I pass or not!"
This arrogant and confrontational attitude made Kasa’s eyes narrow.
A Three-Eyed Clan expert sneered nearby, "Looks like this little Heavenly Peng isn’t convinced."
"Do you really think that just because you have advanced bloodline, you can be so insolent to us?"
"Combat strength isn’t determined by bloodline alone; the inheritance of Yuzhi is far beyond your Continent!"
Little Peng King didn’t waste words, just raised his eyes to the speaker, "You can come on too."
"If you’re scared, scram!"
The Three-Eyed Clan’s Heavenly Pride’s eyes turned cold, and the divine eye on his forehead emitted a terrifying glow.
"Killing you doesn’t require a team effort!"
Kasa interrupted, taking a large step toward Little Peng King, "Today, I will teach you what it means to have reverence!"
As he spoke, a boundless sharpness emanated from his horns, and a brilliant light flashed between them.
"Rip the sky!"
Boom!
A blinding light, carrying a terrifying aura, shattered the void and instantly reached Little Peng King.
"Slash!"
Little Peng King’s body shimmered with a golden glow, and his vast, heaven-obscuring wings descended like sharp blades.
Crack!
However, Kasa’s horns were even sharper than expected.
The moment his horns and wings touched, the wings were instantly torn apart.
Little Peng King’s expression changed slightly, and he moved at lightning speed to dodge.
At this moment, below, as everyone watched the fight between Little Peng King and Kasa, the accumulated anger in their hearts erupted, and they all shouted in rage.
"Little Peng King, kill him!"
"Kill! Kill that bastard and show them the strength of our Continent!"
At this moment, whether it was the Human Race or the Beast Clan, everyone was cheering for Little Peng King.
Though the Human Race and the Beast Clan were different races and former enemies,
Now, they were all beings of Cangyan Continent, sharing a common enemy!
Too many had died on the Continent, while not a single member of the myriad races had fallen.
Cangyan Continent desperately needed a victory to boost morale!
"Chirp!"
"Roar!"
On the Emperor's Path, Kasa and Little Peng King gradually fought with all their might, revealing their True Bodies.
One was a fierce Heavenly Peng with wings that could block the clouds.
The other was a Heavenly Horn with a towering, ancient beast-like horn.
Both roared and unleashed powerful divine techniques, the endless divine light obscuring the sky and earth.
It was clear that Little Peng King had a significant advantage in his True Body.
The speed and sharpness of the Heavenly Peng far surpassed that of the Skyhorn Clan.
However, Kasa’s divine techniques were extremely powerful and bizarre.
Despite being weaker in strength than Little Peng King, he always managed to turn the tide and gain the upper hand at critical moments.
This scene made the Continent’s Heavenly Prides even more aware of the importance of going to Yuzhi.
There, they would find far greater opportunities and endless legacies than on the Continent.
They were determined to reach Yuzhi, no matter the cost!
Ultimately, the battle between Kasa and Little Peng King ended with Little Peng King’s victory, though it was a narrow one.
This left Little Peng King with a very grim expression.
After all, to the Heavenly Peng, the Skyhorn Clan was nothing but food.
Such an outcome was hard to accept.
However, the cheers from the Continent’s side were deafening, and morale soared.
"If you weren’t a Heavenly Peng, you would be dead today."
Although Kasa had lost, his gaze toward Little Peng King was still full of disdain.
To the Heavenly Prides of Yuzhi, the people of the Continent were like savages.
"Is Yuzhi that strong?"
Little Peng King, recalling the battle in the Imperial Tomb, said calmly, "The true prodigies of the Continent can crush you with a single palm."
These words elicited loud laughter from the myriad races’ experts, filled with disdain.
"Ha, who is he?"
Kasa sneered, "If he’s so powerful, why doesn’t he come here?"
"He is—"
Just as Little Peng King was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked toward the distance.
There, a tall, slender youth with a gentle expression was walking toward them.
In the past, Little Peng King had detested this person.
But now, seeing him, a rare smile appeared on his usually cold face.
"He’s here."
