NOVPUBChapter 1042: Chapter 142: Take His Life, Leave No Threats [Four Updates] Chapter 1042: Chapter 142: Take His Life, Leave No Threats [Four Updates] The black snake let out a mournful roar.
Its strength was indeed formidable, and it was fiercely aggressive, yet the Thunder Beast was even more savage. The two ferocious creatures engaged in a fierce battle in the Sky Breaker Mountains, shaking the heavens and the earth. In a smaller cosmos, the skies would have flipped upside down.
“Thunder Beast, don’t electrocute it into charcoal,” War God reminded, also making a move himself. “His Majesty needs its flesh and soul, not a lump of char.”
With a large hand, he reached out and the terrifyingly powerful black snake seemed nothing more than a small mud fish in his presence, easily kneaded at his will.
“This guy is getting stronger and stronger, he’s not far from the second layer of heaven. If I’m not stronger than him, he’ll beat me up one day!”
The Thunder Beast also let out a roar.
It vented its resentment against the War God onto the black snake; had it not been for the intention to capture it alive, the black snake would have been slaughtered long ago.
“It’s unexpected to encounter a black snake that contains the bloodline of a Hell Demon Dragon, almost cultivating Dragon’s Horns. Its bloodline isn’t too thin. If raised properly, it will become a strong force by my side.”
Swoosh!
Just then, within the Sky Breaker Mountains, a golden light descended and dispersed War God and their mana, covering the black snake, followed by the appearance of a middle-aged man in golden clothes.
This middle-aged man possessed the cultivation of a Sovereign, with an air of aloof contempt between his brows.
“Black snake, would you be willing to become my pet? I can save your life,” the man said, arriving and directly speaking to the black snake without regard for War God and the others.
The black snake roared out in an ancient beast language, quickly nodding its head. Although it wasn’t extremely intelligent, it knew if it didn’t listen to this golden-robed man, it would be slain by the Thunder Beast and others.
“He’s quite obedient,”
the middle-aged man revealed a smile.
He didn’t acknowledge the existence of War God and the others, directly maneuvering the black snake, intending to leave.
“Golden-robed one, you really think you can just leave? Don’t you know this is our spoils of war? Who gave you the courage and guts to snatch prey in front of us!”
The Thunder Beast was very dissatisfied, as they had almost crippled the black snake, and suddenly someone appeared, claiming it as a pet, which made it uncomfortable.
The golden-robed man was haughtily disdainful, glancing at the Thunder Beast from the corner of his eye, and said indifferently, “Don’t know where this beast came from.”
“You’re messing with the wrong Thunder Lord!”
The Thunder Beast’s scales exploded, and upon hearing the golden-robed man’s words, it immediately charged over, its fierce claws and lightning tearing through the air, launching a violent strike at the man.
With a simple raise of his palm, the golden-robed man blocked the Thunder Beast’s attack. His mana shook violently, repelling the Thunder Beast fiercely.
“He’s strong!”
Ji Zhong could tell; although this man was a Sovereign of the first layer, his combat strength was several times his own.
“Drop the black snake, this is our spoils of war,”
War God spoke coldly.
“It is already my pet. Be sensible and do not block my way,”
the golden-robed man also realized War God’s strength was very potent and did not wish to entangle too much with him.
“Boom!”
War God understood the opponent’s intent and did not speak further, as the hand of the War God fearlessly struck out.
He built up his power and unleashed an overwhelming will to fight that dominated the heavens, instantly collapsing a large part of the mountains.
“Kill him!” Thunder Beast said fiercely.
The man counterattacked, golden light bursting forth, but to his surprise, as soon as he engaged War God, his power was instantly crushed. Then he saw a punch that pierced through the heavens fiercely bombard his body.
The man was forced back, spitting out a mouthful of blood from the severe backlash. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
The War God pursued relentlessly, and after spending a long time by Chu Yuan’s side, he too developed a sense of lawlessness.
“You dare! I am a citizen of the Northern Edge Empire. Stop attacking this moment, and I may overlook today’s incident!”
The man in golden garb bellowed, revealing his allegiances in hopes of intimidating the War God. Although they were of equal realm within the first heaven, after exchanging a few blows, he knew that he was no match for his opponent.
“Northern Edge Empire!” Ji Zhong was shocked, and quickly said, “Sir, the Northern Edge Empire is also a dominator of the Heavenly Break Mountains, their King is a Supreme God. We cannot afford to offend them!”
“Are you scared?”
The man in golden garb sneered.
The Northern Edge Empire did have a genuine Supreme God, who was not to be considered weak even within the multiverse.
“Kill him, they may not be provoked, but do they think we can be provoked?”
The Thunder Beast roared.
“Exactly, eliminate the roots to avoid future troubles. Who in the Heavenly Break Mountains would know of this? I, as a God, do not like to leave loose ends. His Majesty is collecting the flesh, blood, and souls of Sovereign Gods to craft Divine Elixirs, and he would make excellent material.”
The War God spoke coldly, “Thunder Beast, you handle that black snake, I will execute him, we cannot let him leave.”
“Kill, kill, kill!”
The Thunder Beast launched into a frenzy.
“You are madmen, daring to kill a Sovereign God from the Supreme Empire!”
The face of the man in golden garb turned ashen, regretful that revealing his identity had not instilled fear but instead incited more ruthless aggression from the man and beast before him.
He even regretted that he had come to subdue the black snake.
“I will fight you with my life!”
The man in golden garb grew ferocious as well, brandishing various divine laws. They were clearly after his life.
However, being the foremost War God in the realm of the martial gods, there was no doubt about his strength. Ample resources had greatly boosted his power, and though the golden-garbed man was not weak, he was still no match.
The two clashed fiercely.
After a thousand exchanges in the fierce battle, the man in golden garb ultimately had his head shattered by the palm of the War God and was summarily slaughtered on the spot.
The black snake found itself suppressed by the Thunder Beast as well.
“Sir, we’ve killed a Sovereign God of the Northern Edge Empire, we’ve stirred big trouble now.”
Ji Zhong was utterly dumbfounded, knowing well that even the Supreme God Empire would step aside in such matters, yet the War God had directly killed.
“Not killing him would’ve been the greatest trouble. With the Heavenly Break Mountains fraught with danger, what’s the death of one Sovereign God?”
The War God surveyed his surroundings: “Let’s go. With two Sovereign Gods as materials, this time we’ve doubly fulfilled His Majesty’s mission. Let’s return!”
“Hold on.”
The Thunder Beast burrowed into the black snake’s lair and joyously unearthed numerous items, “Perhaps these will be of use.”
“Well done.”
Upon returning to the empire, the War God reported back, and Chu Yuan nodded, praising them. In the Heavenly Break Mountains, it was essential to be unforgiving; sometimes complete eradication, ensuring that there are no witnesses left, is better than sparing a hidden threat that may escape.
“The divine bodies of two Sovereign Gods can be used to craft many Divine Blood Elixirs.”
Chu Yuan immediately began Alchemy using the Taiyi Pill Furnace.
As time twisted and turned, years passed by, and Lu Qianfu, with the nurture of abundant resources, had reached the limit of the Supreme Triple Heaven.
Lu Qianfu’s natural talent was indeed not impressive. The level he had cultivated to was piled up with resources by Chu Yuan. The resources spent on cultivating him to the Supreme Triple Heaven, if given to someone else, could have cultivated three such individuals.
Nonetheless, Lu Qianfu was fiercely loyal, an old servant worthy of such resource expenditure.
And though he no longer presided over warfare, his management of the empire’s internal politics was excellent, and in conjunction with the Enlightenment Book, it spared Chu Yuan many troubles.
“Exploration and exploitation of resources in the Heavenly Break Mountains shall be the foremost priority for our Divine Empire at this stage. All ministers and workers must not slacken their efforts. Commander Xuanhuang, you take the Primordial Book to the Heavenly Break Mountains and take possession of Heaven and Earth.”
