Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 07 Chapter 017: The Domineering Chiyou

Chiyou said coldly, “Oh? The Western Sea’s little loach?”

“I—” Di Shitian’s face twitched, but he did not dare talk back.

“This blind person is from the Spirit Mountain Holy Land?” Chiyou asked coldly.

“Amit?bha! The Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s Future Buddha greets Imperial Emperor Chiyou,” the Future Buddha said with a polite bow.

“The Future Buddha? Oh? The Spirit Mountain Holy Land suffered some mishap too?” Chiyou raised his eyebrows.

“My arrival today has unintentionally offended Imperial Emperor Chiyou. We have disturbed you. Imperial Emperor, I’ll take my leave,” the Future Buddha said seriously.

“Did we let you go?” Chiyou asked coldly.

“Hah!”

Ten giants immediately blocked the Future Buddha.

“Imperial Emperor Chiyou, my Spirit Mountain Holy Land has no grudges with you. We just happened to meet by chance. Please do not push me into a corner,” the Future Buddha said coldly.

“Don’t push you into a corner? With your dabbling in the World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation? Hahaha! We would like to experience it. How about you open your eyes and look at us? We will stand here and not move. How about that?” Chiyou countered coldly.

The Future Buddha’s expression stiffened. He no longer dared to talk back.

Di Shitian and the Future Buddha were cautious, not daring to say anything unnecessary.

Chiyou gazed coldly at the two for a while. He saw them breaking out in a cold sweat but not daring to do anything.

“Hah! Indeed, you two are useless to us!” Chiyou eventually said coldly.

“Many thanks, Imperial Emperor Chiyou!” The Future Buddha immediately released his bated breath.

“Ahda! Aher! Eat them. They should provide great nourishment!” Chiyou commanded coldly, then dismissed the two.

[TL Note: The names of these giant figures come from numbers. Ahda is Ah Big, or Ah One. Aher is Ah Two. Ahqi is Ah Seven. However, the names sound strange in English, so I left them by their phonetics. These names sound similar to those of Chinese minority tribes’ members.]

“Ah! Don’t!” The Future Buddha’s expression suddenly changed.

However, two giants had already rushed forward.

“Quickly leave!” Di Shitian’s expression changed as he pulled on the Future Buddha, wanting to flee.

Whoosh!

However, the two giants moved too fast, approaching in the blink of an eye. They knocked the Future Buddha and Di Shitian back with a punch each.

Boom! Boom!

After the two were knocked back, the surrounding giants started rubbing their fists in glee.

“They are mine! Big Brother said it! No one is to snatch them from me!” Ahda glared furiously as he charged over.

Ahda and Aher grabbed Di Shitian and the Future Buddha and made to eat them.

“Don’t! Don’t! Wait! Wait! I have something! I have something to use to redeem us! To redeem both of us!” the Future Buddha suddenly yelled in horror.

“Oh?” Chiyou turned his head.

Ahda and Aher appeared depressed. Had I known, I would have quickly eaten him. Now that Big Brother is interested, we have to stop.

“The Fusang Tree! The Solar Divine Palace’s Fusang Tree to redeem the both of us!” the Future Buddha yelled.

“The Fusang Tree? What happened to the Solar Divine Palace? Where are the Supreme Singularity, the Supreme Genesis, and the Supreme Wa?” Chiyou asked coldly.

“Long Zhanguo killed the Supreme Singularity. As for the Supreme Genesis and the Supreme Wa? He…he killed them!” The Future Buddha pointed at Gu Hai.

Chiyou turned his head and looked at Gu Hai. However, he guffawed, “Hahahahaha! Excellent! A great example! Indeed, we judged you correctly!”

Gu Hai’s expression turned slightly stiff. “It was just by luck.”

“We hate people being humble the most. If you killed them, that’s it. Cut the crap!” Chiyou glared.

Gu Hai: “…”

“Long Zhanguo killed the Supreme Singularity? How unfortunate! That arrogant golden crow thought himself very incredible. Back then, we intended to charge into his Solar Divine Palace and kill him. So, Long Zhanguo killed the Supreme Singularity. Where’s Long Zhanguo?” Chiyou asked coldly.

“Long Zhanguo…Long Zhanguo was also killed by him!” The Future Buddha’s face twitched.

“Oh?” Chiyou’s pupils constricted; he now viewed Gu Hai in a different light.

“It was truly by luck!” Gu Hai said with a bitter smile.

Chiyou narrowed his eyes at Gu Hai. Eventually, he laughed carefreely. “Hah! What luck!”

After guffawing, Chiyou looked coldly at the Future Buddha. “Long Zhanguo killed the Supreme Singularity. Then, he killed Long Zhanguo. That means this brother of ours massacred the Solar Divine Palace. How did the Fusang Tree end up in your hands?”

“I-I-It’s the Lord Buddha. Because…” The Future Buddha did not know what to say.

Chiyou’s words are all in praise of Gu Hai. When he heard what I said, he admired Gu Hai even more. Why am I so unlucky on this trip out?

“Where’s the Fusang Tree?” Chiyou asked coldly.

The Future Buddha waved, and a thirty-odd-kilometer-tall tree shining with golden light appeared above his palm.

Boom!

The Fusang Tree plunged into the sea below, melting all the ice shards in a mere instant.

“Big Brother, I want to eat it!”

“Big Brother, I want to eat it!”

The giants clamored in excitement.

“Imperial Emperor Chiyou, the two of us…,” the Future Buddha said anxiously.

“Scram, then!” Chiyou said coldly.

“Yes! Many thanks, Imperial Emperor!” The two turned around anxiously to flee.

“Wait a moment!” Chiyou snorted coldly.

“Huh?” The expressions of the Future Buddha and Di Shitian changed.

“Go and inform the Huang Heavenly Emperor. Tell him that we have returned. The battle for supremacy back then has not ended yet!” Chiyou said coldly.

“Yes! Yes!” the two answered.

Whoosh!

The two fled hurriedly, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

“Big Brother, can we eat it?” the giants asked in anticipation.

“Three thousand years ago, I said I would bring you to the Solar Divine Palace to eat the Fusang Tree. I am late by three thousand years. Big Brother has let you all down. Go on and eat your fill. Eat!” Chiyou shouted.

“Hah!”

The giants roared excitedly, then started gnawing away at the massive Fusang Tree.

Thud!

Ahqi tossed the crushed Lifespan Dongfang aside, and a large amount of blood spattered. Then, he rushed to the Fusang Tree.

Now, Chiyou looked at Gu Hai.

“Brother, how do I address you?” Chiyou smiled as a gleam flashed in his eyes.

“Han Imperial Dynasty’s Gu Hai greets Imperial Emperor Chiyou!” Gu Hai said with a slight frown.

“Oh? The sovereign of an imperial dynasty? Not bad. You reached perfection in your heavenly soul the moment you established your upper heavenly palace. You must be an extraordinary person. All those I—Chiyou—think highly of are extraordinary!” Chiyou smiled.

Gu Hai shook his head. “Imperial Emperor Chiyou is generous with his praise. The earlier few had pushed me into a corner, but they were like dead dogs to you.”

“I—Chiyou—do not judge a person by their birth of cultivation, only their potential. My eighty-one brothers all used to be ordinary peasants. Everyone looked down on them. However, so what? It is sufficient that I—Chiyou—think highly of them. Now, I think the same of you!” Chiyou guffawed.

“Huh?” Gu Hai frowned heavily.

“There’s no need to be nervous. I won’t eat you. I happened to be freed today; it was probably you who opened the seal, right? I think we hit it off! How about we become sworn brothers today and now? In the future, you would be my—Chiyou’s—brother. If anyone dares to seek trouble for you, I will help you destroy their entire clan!” Chiyou said seriously.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/37k7u89t will leave you more fulfilled.

After Chiyou spoke, the giants chewing on the nearby Fusang Tree turned their heads and looked over. Their gazes were now much friendlier.

Sworn brother?

As Gu Hai was finding this strange, Sect Master Heavenly Access’s face sank in the clouds above. He wanted to capture Gu Hai and would face a lot of trouble if they swore brotherhood.

“Chiyou!” Heavenly Access shouted.

Chiyou turned his head and looked coldly at the sky. “Hah! I was waiting to see how long you could wait. Humph! Sect Master Heavenly Access, have you seen enough yet?”

Sect Master Heavenly Access stepped forward and instantly arrived near Gu Hai.

“Sect Master Heavenly Access!” Gu Hai’s face sank.

“Chiyou, Gu Hai is mine!” Sect Master Heavenly Access said coldly.

“Hah! Hahahahahaha! Yours? What a joke! He is my brother!” Chiyou glared.

“Humph! He is a wanted criminal of my Myriad Age Daoist Sect. He fled all the way to this place, and I was chasing him. I have to take him away today!” Sect Master Heavenly Access said coldly.

“You will not take him away with me around. Leave immediately. I’ll give Essence Genesis face!” Chiyou rebutted coldly.

“Hah! Hah! Hahahahaha! A declined imperial emperor daring to shout at me? Even Jiang Lianshan did not dare to speak to me this way. Who are you? I will take Gu Hai away today!” Sect Master Heavenly Access glared and extended his hand.

“You are seeking death!” Chiyou glared as he threw a punch.

“Humph!” With an equally ferocious expression, Sect Master Heavenly Access sent out a manifested Immortal Executioner Sword.

Boom!

The attacks clashed, and a loud report rang out as space tore and the manifested sword shattered. Chiyou’s fist continued towards Sect Master Heavenly Access. Sect Master Heavenly Access’s expression changed as he countered with a palm strike.

Boom!

The fist and the palm met. Another large hole tore open in space, and a berserk shock wave swept out in all directions.

Chiyou showed a ferocious expression, steady in place. However, Sect Master Heavenly Access staggered three steps back.

“You!” Heavenly Access glared.

“It has been three thousand years, and your strength has not changed? Hahaha!” Chiyou sneered.

“That’s impossible! How did you grow this much stronger? You weren’t sealed? You were in closed-door cultivation instead? You were in closed-door cultivation for three thousand years?” Sect Master Heavenly Access’s face turned cold.

“Humph!” Chiyou snorted coldly.

“I don’t believe you can grow that much stronger in one go. Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array!” Sect Master Heavenly Access waved.

Boom!

The Immortal Executioner Sword, the Immortal Killer Sword, the Immortal Trapper Sword, and the Immortal Ender Sword instantly flew out and became four towering swords. Sword qi erupted as the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array took form.

“Heavenly Access, if you still don’t scram, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Chiyou said coldly.

As Chiyou spoke, the eighty-one giants showed hostile expressions. They roared as they charged the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array.

“Your eighty-one brothers? Humph! To think they dare to barge into the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array? Don’t blame me for not warning you!” Sect Master Heavenly Access said coldly.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Countless sword qi struck the eighty-one giants. However, a metallic clangor rang out.

The Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array’s sword qi could not harm these eighty-one giants.

“How can this be?” Sect Master Heavenly Access’s expression changed.

“The Nine Li Tribes are a primary branch of the shaman race’s secret techniques. A head of bronze and arms of iron. No weapons can penetrate, and no item is inedible. The Four Immortal Executioner Swords? So what? Eat!” Chiyou said coldly.

“Hah!”

The giants rushed into the sword array. The sword qi could not harm them in the slightest. When manifested swords flew over, the giants grabbed the manifested swords and shoved the manifested swords into their mouths.

Eat! Eat! Eat!

No amount of manifested swords helped. No weapons could penetrate their heads of bronze and arms of iron. They remained utterly unscathed as they ate their way to the Immortal Ender Sword.

“I don’t believe you can bite through my Four Immortal Executioner Swords!” Sect Master Heavenly Access snarled.

Crack!

Suddenly, a hole appeared in the Immortal Ender Sword. Ahda had bitten a chunk off.

However, the Immortal Ender Sword was too hard. Although he had bitten off a chunk, he also broke a tooth.

Ahda did not care. He swallowed the Immortal Ender Sword fragment along with his tooth. When he opened his mouth again, a new tooth had grown out.

“No!” Sect Master Heavenly Access’s expression changed as he waved his hand.

Whoosh!

The sword qi vanished as Sect Master Heavenly Access put the Four Immortal Executioner Swords away. Then, he kicked away a giant that charged over.

Boom!

Aher went flying but did not suffer any injuries. He climbed back up in the blink of an eye and charged at Sect Master Heavenly Access again while roaring.

“Heavenly Access, if you still don’t scram, we won’t give you a chance to leave anymore!” Chiyou snarled.

Sect Master Heavenly Access grimaced as he looked at Chiyou’s ferocious expression.

“Humph!”

Sect Master Heavenly Access stepped forward and soared into the sky, instantly shooting into the distant horizon.

This kicked up huge waves in Gu Hai’s heart. Chiyou? How can this be? Even Sect Master Heavenly Access is no match for him?
