Chapter 365: Chapter 364: Melee! (New Book Already Uploaded, Please Add to Favorites)

The reincarnators were somewhat surprised to see Du Gang and his three companions rush into the Source Land.

They didn’t expect that these four were still alive.

However, they didn’t give it much thought, assuming that they had used some kind of trick to shake off Wu Yang’s team.

Nobody had the leisure time to trouble them, as everyone was busy advancing and completing the second task.

Establishing the Dao in the Source Land wasn’t difficult, as each reincarnator had the experience of lodging the Dao in the Heavenly Court, so they managed it with ease.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

The body of each reincarnator was filled with bursting energy and grand momentum.

Over a hundred reincarnators and around a dozen strong locals broke through to the next level in a short time, achieving the status of the Emperor’s Dao Fruit.

After Du Gang advanced, he felt a so-called emperor’s aura, which caused him to slightly furrow his brows.

The so-called emperor did not advance him to the Celestial God Level.

On the contrary, he felt as if he had a strange sensation.

It seems, this Emperor’s path is like a phantom road.

Not only him, but all the other reincarnators had the same feeling, each finding the vulnerability and illusion of the Emperor’s state.

“I thought I could advance directly to the Celestial God level. It looks like I overthought it!”

A reincarnator sighed with emotion.

Contrarily, the other local breakers, after advancing to Emperor, all revealed brilliant smiles.

Clearly, becoming the Emperor was enough for them, which meant they now had the power to meddle in the Emperor’s affairs.

“Almost two hundred Emperors, that should be enough, right?!”

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor and other old Emperors arrived.

The Heavenly Emperor had a bright face, as if feeling gratified at seeing so many Emperors emerge.

“Attack!”

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

In the Source Land, a ten-man Golden Team suddenly drew their weapons and attacked a relatively weaker reincarnator team.

“How dare you?!”

The attacked team was utterly shocked, they did not expect that just after they had advanced to the Emperor’s level and before they had trounced these natives, they already started fighting among themselves.

Don’t they fear others taking advantage of this situation?!

As soon as a hand is moved here, many other teams also start their actions.

At this moment, it seemed as if they had already discussed it secretly, each picking their own team to fight.

Even Du Gang and his three companions were targeted by a team, who attacked them persistently.

Seeing this scene, let alone the experienced emperors, even those who were coerced to come, were all dumbfounded.

“What the hell, why are they fighting among themselves?!”

The Heavenly Emperor was completely stunned. He had planned to plot a good plan, hoping that these people would consume some of their energy to mend the gap. But to his surprise, they started fighting among themselves without needing his intervention.

All the Emperors looked at each other, all in a state of confusion.

Only the Human Emperor revealed a trace of bewilderment on his face at this moment.

Just now, he had sensed the aura of the seed.

That’s right, as the object of the seed’s key cultivation, he was very familiar with the seed’s aura. As Gu Changqing could smell the seed’s aura on him, he could smell the seed’s aura on these reincarnators.

Could it be that the seed made a move?!

The Human Emperor was a little stunned. Looking at the current situation, it indeed looked like the seed was intervening.

But the problem was, weren’t these people cultivated by the seed itself?!

“Mend the gap!”

He thought and then suddenly realized, “These people were put together by the seed to mend the gap!”

Though his guess was slightly off, the process was similar indeed. It was indeed the seed that had made a move.

Evidencing Dao in the Source Land, this entire Source Land is the seed’s territory, it only temporarily left this place.

Bearing witness to Dao on his turf, he could naturally influence it.

From the seed’s perspective, the reincarnators were a group of foreigners with unknown purposes, with a high probability that they were targeting him. After all, in this world, the most valuable thing is the seed.

Therefore, when these people were witnessing the Emperor Da, he took the opportunity to detonate some emotions in their hearts, leading them to slaughter each other.

In fact, task one, requiring them to kill a reincarnator team, was the key to the seed being able to influence the reincarnators’ emotions.

And Du Gang and his companions had just completed this task. Their desire to kill other reincarnators was not strong, thus, they were hardly influenced.

“Let’s retreat for now!”

Du Gang quickly sensed that the emotions of these people were not right, so he did not try to fight, but instead led the other three to once again choose the tactic of retreating.

Luckily, from the nine teams – excluding the four of them – eight were exactly full teams.

As soon as they retreated, a team that was originally vacant suddenly ambushed the team pursuing Du Gang and others. These two teams immediately started to fight, which gave Du Gang and the others an opportunity to retreat completely.

They came hurriedly and left abruptly. Du Gang and his companions had just reappeared and established an Emperor, only to be chased and escape into the void again, fleeing the core area.

However, they didn’t go far, but went round in a circle and sneaked back, waiting quietly.

“Du Gang, what’s going on here? These guys are too stupid, aren’t they?!”

Even if Kou Yingwu wasn’t too sharp-minded, he understood at this moment that it was not a good time for the reincarnators to conflict. It would be better to jointly defeat the other local natives and then fight for supremacy.

In particular, the ones who attacked priel, were actually from the top ten Golden Teams. Logically, based on their rank and order, they were the most likely to claim the final victory. In other words, they were the least likely to change.

As a result, they were the first to start, which seemed very puzzling.

Du Gang shook his head, “I don’t know, but…”

His eyes flickered slightly, “I guess it might be because the seed has made a move!”

“Witnessing the Emperor’s Way means placing the Great Dao on the seed. Though our True Spirit Great Dao was entrusted to the Heavenly Court long ago, the secondary entrustment here is still somewhat useful…”

“At the very least, the seed could influence us, but the influence is limited…”

Kou Yingwu watched the people on the scene fight in a mess, scratched his head, “So, what should we do now?!”

Du Gang glanced at him and countered, “Do you have the ability to make them stop?!”

“No!”

Kou Yingwu looked dazed, “If I had that ability, why would I hide here…”

“Isn’t that just the end of it?!”

Du Gang sneered, rolling his eyes at him.

At the core of the Source Land, as the seeds’ power gradually started to take effect, the emotions of all those who had been acknowledged as Emperors started to fluctuate more and more.

Finally, one of the Reincarnators shifted their attention towards the natives of the land.

Not only that, seasoned Emperors with various other intentions were getting eager to give it a try at this moment.

“Boom!”

As one of the Reincarnators initiated the attack on the Heavenly Emperor, the entire battlefield was thrown into complete chaos.

The onlooking Emperors, under the influence of the seeds and the escalating tension in the atmosphere, chose to join the battle simultaneously.

At this moment, the only ones who remained calm were Du Gang, his three companions, and a group of powerful individuals who had surpassed the eighth threshold.

Fang Ping looked at the scene in shock, then turned to Boxer, asking, “Are all you old guys this passionate?!”

Boxer was taken aback and shook his head, “This level of spectacle I haven’t seen for tens of thousands of years. The last time I saw it was during the battle of the Emperors…”

He gazed into the distance lost in memories, “That was over thirty thousand years ago, shortly after the Original Way was first developed. An Emperor secretly killed the strongest primary martial artist to steal his power and ascend. It was later discovered…”

“At that time, all the primary martial artists were furious. They thought their tribal leaders died gloriously in battle, but instead, they were treacherously ambushed by these Emperors. If that wasn’t enough, they even absorbed all of the energy. You tell me, is this not a cause for the world to be angry?!”

“That was the first war between the primary martial artists and the Original Way.”

Boxer sighed heavily.

“In terms of low to mid-tier Combat Power, without a doubt, the primary martial artists came out on top. After all, they had greater numbers and held more power in society…”

“However, unfortunately, in the high tier Combat Power, the Original Way won!”

In his eyes, there was a hint of perplexity, “Actually, I’ve always had a suspicion… I wonder if the seeds interfered during that time…”

“Even though the strongest of the primary martial artists were not as powerful as the Emperors, the gap wasn’t so large. With multiple top-tier individuals combined, they could still put up a fight against the Emperors!”

“Back then, there were many top-tier individuals. At the very least, they were openly stronger than the few Emperors of the Original Way!”

Fang Ping nodded slightly, “If the seeds interfered, it would be expected. After all, the Original Way can speed up the cultivation of the seeds, helping them perfect the world’s original source. Naturally, they would support people following the Original Way…”

His eyes flickered, “By that logic, then these people are also influenced by the seeds…”

He quickly shifted his attention to the Source Land, “It’s probably because of the new Emperors. These guys’ faith is placed on the seeds, hence, they are affected…”

As Fang Ping suddenly pondered a new thought, he turned to Zhang Tao with an excited look on his face, “Old Zhang, do you dare pull off a big job?!”

Zhang Tao was taken aback as he looked at him with wide eyes, “Do you have a death wish? There are more than two hundred Emperors here. The two of us just barely crossed the eighth threshold, and we are not even close to the ninth. Charging into this is courting death…”

“I have a plan…”

Fang Ping’s voice slowly faded away as he started to communicate his idea telepathically.

At this, Zhang Tao’s face changed drastically, showing a mix of cloudiness and brightness.

Others, like Moon Spirit, West Pole, and those powerful individuals who lost at the eighth threshold and had no trump cards left, trembled upon seeing this scene.

Thinking about Fang Ping’s experiences and accomplishments since his debut, they all weighed in, asking to join in.

“Fang Ping, we actually share the same interests. We want to live freely, throwing off the yoke of being pawns!”

“That’s right, we are all straws on the same stalk… I mean, we are all on the same path. It’s better to plan together than to act by yourself, right?!”

Fang Ping glanced at their eager faces and revealed a faint smile. He nodded and said, “You can join us if you wish, but you have to listen to me, or else…”

“That’s not a problem!”

At this stage, there were already more than two hundred Emperors, and they were all losing their minds. They were feeling extremely insecure.

But Fang Ping, this troublemaker, could provide them with some sense of security.

After all, in this world, phrases like ‘Child of Destiny’ and ‘Child of Fortune’ hold a lot of sway.

And it just so happened, that this Fang Ping was one such individual.

After observing for a while, Du Gang noticed a worn-out Emperor. He murmured, “I’m going to finish the second task.”

Saying this, he disappeared in the blink of an eye, turning into a black shadow and rapidly moving towards the edge of the battlefield.

Over there, an old Emperor, the South Emperor, was on the brink of a perilous situation, being besieged by Reincarnators and looked as if he was going to fall at any moment.

His power was equivalent to the Beast Emperor and could be considered one of the weaker Emperors. He could withstand a fight against several who had surpassed the ninth threshold, but he was unable to resist against the Reincarnators who had already ascended to being Emperors.

Just when it seemed like he was about to fall, a black shadow suddenly sprang out from the ground and swiftly aimed for the South Emperor.

“You!”

The South Emperor, focusing all his energy on dealing with the other Reincarnators, didn’t expect someone to hide in the shadow on the ground. He was completely caught off guard and was struck by Du Gang successfully.

With a single blow, Du Gang destroyed his Divine Soul and killed him.

[Ding, Task two completed!]

It was very simple. He had already received the system’s prompt.

At this point, three out of four of their team’s tasks were completed. Only the task to kill the Heavenly Emperor was left.

But this task…

Du Gang glanced at the Heavenly Emperor in the distance, who was holding his own against twenty others and not losing. He shook his head and chose to continue retreating.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

The Reincarnator in front of him, upon seeing his soon-to-be-won kill get stolen, was filled with rage. He yelled and then aimed his attack at Du Gang.

“Hehe!”

Du Gang, through the secrets taught by Ancient City, had learned several powerful techniques. They may not have been too helpful in increasing his strength, but his ability to escape was exceptionally astounding.

He immediately fell backward, turned into a puddle of black water, and disappeared from everyone’s sight like a shadow.

“Bang!”

After a loud noise, a huge pit appeared where Du Gang had disappeared, but there were no signs of him.

“Damn it!”

Looking at the huge pit, the Reincarnators naturally would not think that Du Gang was dead. They understood that he had seized the opportunity to escape.

They cursed him silently in their hearts while being quickly drawn back into the battle against the others.

The sneakily retreating Du Gang was praised by Kou Yingwu upon his return.

“Great job, Du Gang! Now all that’s left for us is the task to kill the Heavenly Emperor!”

He was somewhat excited, “Do you think, if we kill the Heavenly Emperor, we will ascend, and the others will be killed?!”

Du Gang glanced at the Heavenly Emperor in the distance and frowned, he felt that this Heavenly Emperor, though seeming wild, appeared to still be concealing his true strength.

Shaking his head, he said softly, “Let’s wait and see, let them fight!”
