What piqued Nie Wu’s curiosity was Ji Xuexiao’s identity. Possessing a Divine Seed and using it so flawlessly, it was highly likely that she was the reincarnation of a Martial Saint.
Now, an unprecedented tidal wave of Spiritual Qi was striking, chaos reigned over heaven and earth, and the Sons of God, reincarnated Martial Saints formerly seldom seen, were being born en masse in the same era. It was both a time of chaos and a golden age!
"What should I do... Should I go up and help?"
Aboard the Heavenly Ship, the Thirteenth Prince hesitated. He saw Gu Lie engaged in a fierce battle to the death with Su Changkong. He wanted to lend a hand, but after witnessing high-level experts such as Ba Chen, Ba Yi, and the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl all perish under Su Changkong’s Blade Soul, he knew there was a high probability that he too would die if he joined the fray!
The Thirteenth Prince was very fond of his own life.
Meanwhile, a silver-armored soldier hurriedly said, "Thirteenth Prince, you must not take risks. You are a Son of the Heavenly God. If anything were to happen to you, our lives wouldn’t be sufficient to atone for it. I believe the Divine General Gu Lie... can defeat Dao Wufeng!"
The soldiers of the Heavenly God Imperial Dynasty had no wish to risk the Thirteenth Prince’s life for it was clear that if anything happened to him, they would all have to die in his stead.
"Hmm," the Thirteenth Prince said, nodding reluctantly after hearing the persuasion. He, raised in the lap of luxury, did not dare to intervene in this life-and-death struggle; his previous haughtiness stemmed from having confidence, not from foolishly lacking the awareness of danger.
"What’s the deal with Dao Wufeng? Injured yet seemingly unaffected, he should have already exhausted quite a bit of True Qi, and yet now he appears to have bottomless martial prowess, unleashing ferocious and relentless attacks without any signs of fatigue?"
Gu Lie, locked in combat with Su Changkong, felt increasingly heavy of heart. Su Changkong’s martial prowess seemed unfathomable, with each strike terrifyingly powerful, requiring him to respond with all his might.
Of course, Gu Lie did not know that, in the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky, Su Changkong had refined a vast amount of Innate Qi infused with Dragon Qi. His Dantian contained a total of 50 drops of Mysterious Turtle True Essence, and he had used only half of it so far. His endurance for sustained combat exceeded ordinary imagination!
Moreover, Su Changkong’s Blade Soul spun and sliced, leaving pitch-black fissures in the air, swift, agile, and impregnable.
"Tss!"
Gu Lie’s right leg was sliced by the Blade Soul. The golden light enveloping his body flashed, repelling the attack. Although it appeared to cause no injury, in reality, Gu Lie’s True Qi was rapidly depleting.
The Golden Armor Divine Path Skill, an Unparalleled Technique imparted by the Heavenly God, provided defense without blind spots. Gu Lie cultivated it to the level of Divine Skills; It was nearly unshakable by external forces until his True Qi was depleted, a seamless unity.
But the edge of Su Changkong’s Blade Soul caused his True Qi to drain like water from an open floodgate, unable to last much longer!
The Thirteenth Prince and others watched from a distance, with no intention of assisting him, which frustrated him.
On the other hand, Mo Junling was embroiled in a messy fight with the Heavenly Corpse Old Man, too beaten to spare any effort to help.
"Could it be... that I am to fall?" A thought, impossible to suppress, rose in Gu Lie’s mind. His resolve wavered, causing a momentary slow in his offense.
In contrast, Su Changkong intensified his attack. Fists and blade worked in unison, with the Blade Soul weaving and slashing, threatening to tear apart the very fabric of the void.
Su Changkong caught a moment of unrest in Gu Lie, exploiting the opening it presented. His left fist, charged with the force of White Tiger Roars and Kills, surged forward, striking Gu Lie squarely in the chest with an explosive, resonating impact that splintered into fragments.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
Gu Lie’s gold armor, as well as the protective golden aura around him, shattered to pieces. Blood spurted from his mouth as he was sent tumbling backward, his once-proud ’Golden God Armor’ completely destroyed!
"Tss, tss, tss!"
Before Gu Lie could touch the ground, the Blade Soul flashed repeatedly, slicing through the air around his body.
"Thump!"
As he slammed to the ground, Gu Lie’s body showed lines of blood, his body severing from his neck, waist, and chest.
"I... cannot accept this!"
Gu Lie’s eyes were filled with reluctance. He had killed countless formidable enemies, confident he had few rivals under the Martial Saint, even praised by the Heavenly God with the chance of achieving Martial Saint status in the future, but now he lay dying on Heavenly Dragon Mountain, utterly defeated without dispute!
Yet death spares no one, regardless of grievances, and the life force within Gu Lie rapidly faded.
"Divine General Gu Lie... dead?" 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
The face of the Thirteenth Prince turned pale. Despite having anticipated this possibility, he was shocked, his mind going blank—the Divine General personally appointed by his father had fallen to an unknown nobody whose name he hadn’t even heard before.
"Your Highness Thirteenth... we must leave quickly!"
A silver-armored deputy general spoke in a tremulous whisper, anxious to avoid being left behind.
"Let’s go, let’s go... I’ve already told Gu Lie to drop it, but he just wouldn’t listen!"
```
The Thirteenth Prince snapped back to reality and hastily said.
"Whoosh!"
A group of Martial Artists propelled the Heavenly Ship with their True Qi, and the colossal vessel quickly flew towards the distance, disappearing into the horizon.
Su Changkong also noticed the fleeing Thirteenth Prince and the others, but he did not pay any attention to them. Since the Thirteenth Prince had not made a move against him, his eyes flickered coldly, his focus not diverted from his real enemies!
"Damn it... you old corpse, let go of me! If I truly die here, do you think the Alliance Hierarch will let you off?"
Feeling the life essence of Gu Lie rapidly fading, Mo Junling, entangled and grappling with the Heavenly Corpse Old Man, realized the direness of his situation. He began to call out in a mixture of anxiety and fear, using Wei Shengxin as a threat.
"Saying such things at this moment? Mo Junling, just accept your death quietly!"
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man naturally had no intention of sparing Mo Junling, holding him tightly in his clutches.
"Swoosh!"
The sound of tearing through the air came, and Mo Junling, with the eye on his forehead, saw a long saber hurtling towards him. He wanted to respond, but was utterly incapable of doing so. The saber pierced through the Raksha Eye on his forehead and into his skull, then slashed downward viciously.
"Pfft!"
Mo Junling was cleaved in half from his head to his groin, his blood and innards surging out. His eyes were wide open in shock, his struggling body losing all its strength.
Whoosh!
The Blade Soul spiraled back, unstained by blood, and entered the space between Su Changkong’s eyebrows.
Dizziness washed over his brain, causing Su Changkong to stagger slightly. Using the Blade Soul had taken a toll on him, leaving him with a dizzy head. But what eased his mind was that all the enemies who had surrounded and attacked him were slain to the last!
Seeing Mo Junling dead and motionless, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man finally released the body and stood up from the ground.
"After all, I have lived longer than you have!"
He gave a cold snort as he glanced at the pitiful corpse on the ground. Having survived for a very long time, he had seen too many who were stronger or more talented than him pass before him. As long as one lived long enough, one could always wait for an opportunity!
"Ji Xuexiao... is she truly a match for Wei Shengxin?"
Having eliminated Gu Lie, Mo Junling, and the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl, Su Changkong could have easily left by now, yet he couldn’t help but look worryingly at the astonishing scene unfolding at the center of the battlefield.
In the sky, a hundred zhang long Ice Crystal Chi Dragon soared, Ji Xuexiao in her flowing white robes stood on its head, her sword Qi like a milky way of ice and snow, charging straight into the heavens, the frost wreaking havoc.
Around Ji Xuexiao, invisible giant beasts roared, unseen to the naked eye but certainly present, their howls ripping through the clouds in the sky, seeking to dismember and shred the Ice Crystal Chi Dragon!
Neither being actual Martial Saints, yet both possessed a Divine Seed, unleashing might that rivaled a Martial Saint!
"Dare to obstruct me again, and spare me not from annihilating your entire families!"
Wei Shengxin, who once resembled a refined gentleman, had lost all traces of his former composure. His eyes flickered with wicked light, full of fierce rage.
Had he not feared fully unleashing the Divine Skills within the Divine Seed, losing control of his power, and integrating and refining the Divine Seed prematurely to step into the realm of a Martial Saint, he would have already torn this woman daring to block his path into pieces.
"You think you’re qualified to make such grand statements?" Ji Xuexiao’s black hair was crystal clear amidst the snow and ice. Her beautiful face was covered in a layer of frost and solemnity as she sensed that this Wei Shengxin was not just an ordinary possessor of a Divine Seed, but a reincarnated Martial Saint.
For him to step into the realm of a Martial Saint was simply a matter of re-cultivation.
"Is this the power of the Divine Seed? It’s like two true Martial Saints are in a fierce battle!"
Yan Ru and Yan Zhong were both shocked as they watched the battle between the two, which surpassed the limits of ordinary people’s imagination and the boundaries that Innate realm could reach. The Divine Seeds contained true Divine Skills, and once unleashed, they were difficult for anyone other than an actual Martial Saint to contend with!
The battle between the two sides reached its zenith, with neither readily yielding.
"It’s over now, stop all of you!"
However, a gentle voice echoed above Heavenly Dragon Mountain, containing an unquestionable authority that no one could defy.
In the sky, now chaotic from the great battle, gold clouds had appeared at an unknown time, revealing a barely visible figure exuding great dignity, like a Saint high above, commanding reverence that made people dare not look directly.
