Chapter 796: Creator Xi Zhiyan

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

A hundred thousand deaths?

When?

Those missing warships, the missing Zhu Shi gods, killed by Mister Yi?

Although an innate god in his past life, Mister Yi was reincarnated into the human race and was just ascended into deityhood not long ago. How could he possibly possess such great power?

Dong Ah, Xi He, and the others could hear the many questions with no answers lingering in their ears. But the pain and agony from the loss of his armada on Master’s contorted face had erased any doubts that they had. If so, then how exactly did Mister Yi kill the over hundreds of thousand gods?

Zhong Yue raised his hand and drew the lightning seas between them again. He shook in reply, “If you hadn’t tried to kill me, why would I ever do something like that? You brought death upon yourselves, I am just doing what is needed survive.”

Weapon Ancestor and the gods gritted their teeth, they stopped casting the teleportal gates and sailed straight into the lightning seas.

Krong—!

The warship rammed the lightning seas into fragments and continued toward them with tremendous momentum. The Zhu Shi survivors were brimming with killing intent, fueled by the burning desire to avenge their fallen siblings.

Just thinking of the countless Zhu Shi experts that never came out from the godly sun made their blood boil. Every single one of them couldn’t have wait any longer to see Zhong Yue falling into their hands!

However, even with thousands of gods powering the warship, it would still take some time before they could catch up to Zhong Yue and the others.

It was such an awkward distance, it was too far for them to sail by pure speed and too close for them to use the teleportal gates in fear that Zhong Yue would alter the gates’ totem patterns again.

Meanwhile, Bo Di was one of the fastest experts in terms of speed; him flying at full speed was hard for the rest to keep up with, he was just a line slower than Zhong Yue in the form of the Great Sun Golden Crow.

Despite so, a prolonged journey of traveling at full speed had exhausted him. Both his mortal body and cultivation base were overstressed, he wouldn’t be able to last much longer and after this, he would suffer a great loss of his life essence.

“This will not end well.” Zhong Yue looked at the incoming warship, his heart sank to the bottom and he concluded solemnly, “Prepare yourselves for war. People… it is up to your own fate and luck now to decide who will walk out of this alive.”

Dong Ah, Xi He, and the others were shocked. They surged out their arcane energy and cast out their respective divine weapons, preparing for the upcoming battle. Whereas Zhong Yue’s face was deep dark and gloomy, unlike the others, he was able to escape the predicament at anytime he wants.

His cultivation of the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] was at a level where he could teleport himself away from the battlefield with just a thought, so long as there wasn’t a Deity Emperor there to stop him.

However, if he left, Bo Di and the others would surely be killed. Although he didn’t really care about their well-being, but having them by his side would considerably reduce future potential troubles.

At the very least, it would be much more appealing and trustworthy if it were Bo Di and the others that announced his identity as an innate god in his past life.

Thus, he wouldn’t allow all of them to die here.

But at the same time, he wasn’t strong enough to save them all with his current strength.

Behind them, the warship was drawing nearer, including them in the Deity Overlords’ skill range and almost immediately, the Deity Overlords launched their skills. The Deity Overlords’ skills were like pythons, slithering their way in the space and gnawed down at Bo Di.

Bo Di fluttered his wings and evaded the incoming skills while Dong Ah and the others who were on his back also launched their skills to ward off the incoming attacks and protect Bo Di from getting injured.

Even Zhong Yue also joined them and warded off the attacks.

But just how strong were the Deity Overlords? Even the after impacts from their skills were enough to inflict considerable damage to them and if not, grave injuries.

The crowd held themselves together well, but Bo Di was still ineluctably slowed down by the skills while the warship was sailing increasingly faster.

All of a sudden, a few dozens of True Deity raised their arms up with the bows and shot the divine arrows. It happened so quickly that it caught them off guard and when they came back to their senses, one of the Xian Tian Palace’s disciple already had a hole bored through his forehead by an arrow. His head exploded like a smashed tomato and blood splattered on the crowd’s faces and clothes.

Xi He screamed in fear, she cast out her divine weapon and warded off the incoming skills madly. Then, a burst of light came from the warship again as another barrage of divine arrows were shot out by the gods; this time, they were aimed at her.

The terrified Xi He reflexively took a sidestep and barely escaped death. A divine arrow slipped past her cheek before taking away the life of another Xian Tian Palace’s disciple!

On the deck of the last warship, Weapon Ancestor took the form of a divine bow, held in the hands of Royal Prince Wen Chang. Although the gods were the ones barraging the divine arrows on them, the two shots that took two lives had come from him.

Royal Prince Wen Chang pulled out the third divine arrow, he drew a full bow and squinted his eyes at Zhong Yue’s head. However, after seconds of mulling, he moved his aim and made Bo Di his third target.

After all, killing Bo Di was much easier as he didn’t have the confidence to kill Zhong Yue in one shot.

When the nocked divine arrow was let loose, it flew like a flash of lightning and appeared right on Bo Di’s back. Bo Di’s scalps tingled and he could feel the tip of the arrow virtually piercing through his heart.

It was at that moment, a shabby furnace emerged between Bo Di and the divine arrow; the divine arrow pierced into the furnace and stopped inches before impaling through it.

Zhong Yue cast the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace] and reduced the divine arrow into ashes.

To that, Royal Prince Wen Chang smiled and picked up more arrows. Shua, shua, shua — Flashes of light drew beautiful arcs across the space down toward everyone else carried on Bo Di’s back!

Zhong Yue’s face changed drastically, just as he was galvanizing into actions to stop the arrows, the Zhu Shi gods’ attacks were reaching him collectively.

Stop the arrows and he would have to withstand all of the gods’ attacks; but if he didn’t, Bo Di and the others would all die!

“Mister Yi, run!” Dong Ah shouted, “Have the Xian Tian Palace’s supreme senior martial brother avenge us!”

Then, one of the Xian Tian Palace’s disciple rushed to Zhong Yue’s front and shielded him while shouting, “Mister Yi, go! We will send you out!”

Zhong Yue startled for a split second and sighed in his heart, They take me as friends but I am destined to betray the Xian Tian Palace. By then, will I truly be able to view them as my enemy and kill them?

As he sighed, he surged his arcane energy and swept Bo Di, Dong Ah, and the others into his Yuan Shen secret realms. He said solemnly, “I will bring us all out of this!”

Bo Di and the others were still shocked while Zhong Yue turned into an Innate Golden Crow and fluttered his wings. He evaded the incoming attacks in tremendous agility and rushed to exit the predicament in extreme speed.

On the deck, Royal Prince Wen Chang ordered frigidly, “Gods, heed my command, draw the bow.”

The tens of thousand gods raised their arms, sounds of metal clanking filled the warship as all of the Zhu Shi gods removed their divine bows from their back and nocked a divine arrow, pointing at the escaping Zhong Yue.

“Release!” Abruptly, Royal Prince Wen Chang shouted.

In the blinding light of the thousands of divine arrows, the suns and stars have lost their brilliance. The divine arrows all had a common target—Zhong Yue!

Looking at the blinding rays alone, Bo Di couldn’t have withstood the pressure at all and was only able to relief part of the oppressing ambiance a little by spurting out a mouth of coagulated blood.

Suddenly, he burst out in loud laughters and cast out his divine weapon against the incoming divine arrows, “I never once thought we would meet our ends here and now!”

“But with us all together, death is not to be feared!” Xi He, Dong Ah, and the others laughed as well. They cast out their divine weapons and surged all of their arcane energy out at the divine arrows.

At the first instant the divine weapons have clashed with the divine arrows, each divine weapon was shot hundreds of times and have all shattered into bits whereas the after impacts have rendered Dong Ah and the others almost powerless.

But there were all more divine arrows barraging down.

“Use the inner cores, we fight to the end of our lives!” Bo Di clenched his teeth with blood trickling down his mouth.

They opened their mouth and the inner cores flew out in front of them. The inner core force fields superpositioned over one another and protected Zhong Yue in the center of the force fields.

Chi, chi, chi…!

The divine arrows rained on the inner core force fields and caused Bo Di and the others to shudder violently with blood flowing out of their seven orifices. All of a sudden, the inner core of one of the Xian Tian Palace’s disciples splintered into smithereens and his aura took a dive for the worst.

Then followed by Bo Di and the other experts, their inner cores were all shattered in the rain of divine arrows and the force fields crumbled away!

“The Yuan Shen!” Bo Di’s face was contorted in pain and agony when he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Following after his command, the experts cast out their Yuan Shen. Some of them held a pallid face of fear and terror while some smiled in peace and relief. This was their final debut, the destroyal of their Yuan Shen would also be their own death.

When the second wave of divine arrows rained down from above, Bo Di smiled in peace, “Brothers and sisters, shall we meet again in our next life…”

He cast his Yuan Shen and rushed for the incoming arrows with Dong Ah and Xi He following behind him. It was at this moment, an inner core flew out from Zhong Yue’s forehead and expanded its innate inner core force field, stopping the tens of thousand arrows inside the force field.

Zhong Yue muffled a deep groan of pain and blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth as he bolted away. But before Bo Di and the others could heave a breath of relief, the third wave of arrows were launched into the innate inner core force field.

Another deep groan came from Zhong Yue while the force field was seen starting to break apart; then, seeing the next wave of arrows incoming, Zhong Yue sighed, Nothing can be done anymore, seems like I’ll have to leave them behind and leave on my own…

Just before he retract the inner core, the arrows were stopped in the air. Then, an awed Zhong Yue watched as the divine arrows shot backward in an even faster speed back to the warship!

Cries of death resounded the space from the warship, the countless gods were killed by the same arrows they have shot out themselves. The divine arrows even bore out of their mortal body and through the warship while killing their Yuan Shen as well!

“Zhu Shi Celestial Race, what audacity you have there to dare kill the Xian Tian Palace’s disciples.” A frigid voice sounded from the void and violet rays burgeoned in the middle of nowhere. In the center of the violet rays, a man in his prime age walked out and in just one step, he reached to Zhong Yue’s side, looking at the warship on the far end.

On the warship, all of the gods were killed dead, leaving only a pallid Royal Prince Wen Chang and Weapon Ancestor in his hands.

“The supreme senior martial brother of the Xian Tian Palace, Creator Xi Zhiyan, greets Royal Prince Wen Chang.” The Creator bowed, he smiled, “I cannot express how gratified I am for My Royal Highness to look after my junior martial siblings.”

Royal Prince Wen Chang’s eyes thumped. Sounds of objects crashing down the floor could be heard almost endlessly as the dead Zhu Shi gods fall to the ground.

“There is no need for the over-politeness.” Royal Prince Wen Chang said in a hoarse voice.

Whereas Xi Zhiyan was still smiling, “This is not a good place to stay anymore, My Royal Highness, may I please you to return to safety.”

Royal Prince Wen Chang nodded, he turned and left on the longcloth that was rolled out toward the Zhu Shi Celestial Race’s territory.

“What a shame, we can’t kill him.” Xi Zhiyan mumbled as he shook.

“Supreme senior martial brother!” Bo Di and the others bowed.

“It is lucky that you can all survive this long, even your inner cores are shattered.” Xi Zhiyan inspected the experts and shook. Then, he turned to Zhong Yue and clasped his hands together, “Mister Yi.”

Zhong Yue reciprocated the formality, he asked, “Does the supreme senior martial brother know me?”

“I’ve heard King Zi Guang mentioning mister before. Mister Yi, Zhiyan sees it all, I offer my sincerest reverence to your efforts in saving Bo Di and the others.” Xi Zhiyan smiled in reply.

“I see.” Zhong Yue said solemnly, “Bi Yuan is now trapped in the pseudo Imperial Granary, it is a powerful treasure. There are 8 Deity Emperors dealing with him in it…”

“The pseudo Imperial Granary?!” Xi Zhiyan’s face changed dramatically, he shouted, “Sh*t!”

He swings his sleeves and carried Zhong Yue and the others with his arcane energy. Then, the Creator mustered all of his strength and bolted out in tremendous speed, catching up to Royal Prince Wen Chang in just a few moments.

This scared the Royal Prince, thinking that Xi Zhiyan had returned to kill him, but he soon found his worries unfounded as Xi Zhiyan flew past him, he thought, I am after all, the Heavenly Monarch’s son. He doesn’t dare to touch me at all.

The legwork took more than an hour. When Xi Zhiyan rushed to the edge of the Imperial Granary Sacred Land, he saw a huge Imperial Granary floating in mid-air and revolving incessantly. He heaved a breath of relief and thought, The Imperial Granary’s array formation is still active, sixth junior martial brother is still alive…

Then, the pseudo Imperial Granary shrunk before his eyes and nine Deity Emperors walked out of it. They were laughing as they said, “This petty child Bi Yuan is finally dead! What a knotty prick, he actually survived that long under our beleaguerment. Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s disciple is really amazing!”

Hearing them, Xi Zhiyan’s body shivered in cold, he stood there dumbly and raised his head up to the sky while tears rolled down his cheeks.

“Sixth brother, I am late… I…” Xi Zhiyan’s face turned pallid like snow and suddenly, he spurted out a mouth of golden blood.

Zhong Yue and the others could only watch on the side with sympathy, not knowing how to comfort him.

When the nine Deity Emperors saw XI Zhiyan, their hearts skipped a beat and before they were just going to escape, they saw a longcloth rolling toward them where Royal Prince Wen Chang was traveling on it.

Royal Prince Wen Chang is here!, The nine Deity Emperors heaved a breath of relief, they exchanged a look and scattered out in tremendous speed.

Xi Zhiyan’s face was white like snow, he abruptly said, “Royal Prince, please wait a moment.”

Royal Prince Wen Chang stopped, he turned with a smile, “Creator Xi Zhiyan, what do you have to say to…”

Chiang—

A flash of white light filled their vision, from when the sword was pulled out and slashed in a half-moon motion, it was all done in less than a split second.

When Xi Zhiyan returned the divine sword back to the sword sheath, Royal Prince Wen Chang’s head had rolled off of his neck, his face forever frozen with shock.

“My Royal Highness, I have a need to borrow your head. As the imperial emperor’s sixth disciple is dead, a son of the Heavenly Monarch has to die with him.” Xi Zhiyan clawed the head in his hand and said, “Royal Prince Wen Chang, I will now bring your head to the imperial emperor.”
