Chapter 1251: Chapter 397: Too Unyielding
Emperor Jun sensed something, and his expression slightly changed.
“You’ve become an independent entity; how could Haotian allow you to do that?”
Tian Hao sneered, his face full of arrogance.
“He doesn’t allow me to do it, so I can’t? We’ve been separated for countless ages, and everything I have, I fought for myself. Why should the final result be taken back by him, merged into his own being, becoming fodder for his advancement?”
Emperor Jun chuckled, his expression somewhat playful.
“Aren’t you worried that becoming an independent entity now is also within Haotian’s calculation?”
Tian Hao was startled, his gaze somewhat shadowed.
As an avatar, he could also be considered Haotian, and he surmised that if it were him, even the avatar created would surely be prepared to prevent it from becoming independent.
Because Haotian created the avatar with the ultimate goal of making the avatar stronger, then devouring it to incorporate into his own Dao Fruit.
In this process of becoming stronger, problems could easily arise, often leading to divergent ambitions.
“Hehe, I am also him, and I cannot see any aspect he could calculate against me.”
Tian Hao sneered, appearing indifferent.
But internally, he was analyzing ceaselessly.
If he became an independent entity, what could Haotian scheme?
However, outwardly, he remained impassive, maintaining a calm demeanor.
“You’re afraid.”
Emperor Jun’s words pierced straight into Tian Hao’s heart.
Sun Wukong, on the other hand, stared upwards in confusion, wondering what was happening. Normally, with Tian Hao’s appearance, Lord Taishang and others should have appeared, right?
Why was there no movement from Lord Taishang and the others today? Could it be that there’s some tacit understanding with the Demon Realm?
In fact, Lord Taishang was blocked by a shadow demon at that time.
The Demon King and Lord Taishang were in dialogue, both filled with killing intent and a rather intense demeanor.
This was a conversation between Creation Realm experts, reaching a certain transaction.
Finally, Lord Taishang calmed down, refraining from striking Tian Hao dead.
And Tian Hao sensed that the murderous intent locked onto him vanished unexpectedly.
In his heart, he knew that the Demon King had secured for him the opportunity to appear in the Three Realms.
This delighted him, as long as he could continue to appear in the Three Realms, merging the Dao of Three Realms and the Demon Realm, then transcending to become a Creation Realm expert would not be difficult.
While thoughts spun in his mind, Tian Hao’s expression didn’t reveal anything.
He engaged Emperor Jun while saying, “Afraid? I never know what fear means; there’s no need to say much more, nothing can shake my resolve.”
At that moment, Zibaiqing attacked, repelling Great Emperor Ziwei.
He spoke, “This is enough; continuing this battle benefits no one.”
Great Emperor Ziwei’s eyes turned cold, and he said with a chilly voice, “Enough? Heh, ridiculous, since we’ve chosen to act, today we must capture you.”
Zibaiqing remained unconcerned about Great Emperor Ziwei’s attitude and pointed at Xie Long, saying, “All you want to kill is that guy, we agree to let you kill him.”
Upon hearing this, even Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was stunned.
He did not expect Zibaiqing would actually agree to them killing Xie Long.
Great Emperor Ziwei and the others frowned, puzzled by the situation.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi remained impassive, casting a glance at Zibaiqing; if not for Tian Hao’s lack of objection, he might have thought Zibaiqing and Tian Hao had already colluded with the Heavenly Court.
Of course, this was impossible; if they had colluded, they wouldn’t need to scheme further; they could simply kill them both outright.
Tian Hao, as the Supreme of the Demon Realm and an avatar of Haotian, had no room for reconciliation with the Heavenly Court and The Three Pure Ones.
Precisely because of this, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi never truly suspected them.
Such a decision made, certainly there were other plans between Tian Hao and Zibaiqing.
Everyone’s focus was on Great Emperor Ziwei, awaiting his decision.
As long as Great Emperor Ziwei decided to continue the war, they would naturally kill immediately.
Xie Long’s expression was grim; he never thought he’d one day become a bargaining chip for someone else’s cooperation.
He glared at Zibaiqing and the others, trying to flee, only to be intercepted.
At this time, anyone could escape, but he absolutely couldn’t.
Several Heavenly Emperors had their eyes on him; before Great Emperor Ziwei made a decision, he couldn’t escape.
Xie Long hoped Great Emperor Ziwei wouldn’t agree.
Once Great Emperor Ziwei agreed, he would definitely die, without any surprise.
At that moment, Great Emperor Ziwei raised his head and uttered one word, “Granted.”
Zibaiqing smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
Great Emperor Ziwei and his associates surrounded Xie Long, all harboring murderous intent.
They acted immediately, giving Xie Long no time to speak.
“Living beings of the Three Realms, despicable and shameless, you’ll face retribution sooner or later.”
Xie Long roared, his voice filled with unwillingness.
However, it was all in vain.
Encircled by four Heavenly Emperors, with Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, both immensely strong, the six powerhouses swiftly tore Xie Long apart within a few breaths.
Xie Long fell completely, killed within the Three Realms.
“Hahaha.”
Martial King laughed heartily, his voice filled with delight.
To personally avenge enemies, such thrill was hard for ordinary people to comprehend.
Eastern King also exhaled lightly, killing Xie Long felt like venting aeons of resentment.
He smiled and said, “Refreshing.”
But the killing intent within Eastern King grew stronger.
Martial King’s gaze fell on Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and the others, eager for battle.
Such traitors, he felt, were even more detestable than Xie Long and others.
Sensing Martial King’s killing intent, Zibaiqing chuckled softly, saying, “We didn’t intervene earlier, and ask you to cease the battle. However, if you truly wish to fight, we’re not afraid of you, as dragging you down with us wouldn’t be difficult; three Heavenly Emperors contesting four Heavenly Emperors is not challenging.”
Tian Hao also sneered, fixing his eyes on Martial King and others, utterly fearless.
“We are unafraid of battle; consider it yourselves.”
On the contrary, Great Emperor Ziwei and the others appeared slightly solemn.
“Afraid of you? Fight.”
Just as Tian Hao and others thought Great Emperor Ziwei and the rest would abandon the battle, Sun Wukong suddenly spoke, acting directly.
He charged at Tian Hao without a hint of hesitation.
Simultaneously, Yang Jian also attacked, his gaze fierce.
“I’d like to see who you can take away. Kill.”
Their temper rivaled each other, directly targeting Tian Hao.
Tian Hao was caught off guard, blown away and sent tumbling.
He glared at Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, furious.
Sun Wukong pointed his Jingu Bang at Tian Hao, coldly saying, “Both of us may not kill any of you, but incapacitating one of you is enough. With two Heavenly Emperor-level experts left, let’s see how you drag Ziwei and the others down.”
Zibaiqing was at a loss for words.
This monkey and Yang Jian were far too tough, even Zibaiqing hesitated to comment further.
