CHAPTER 737: 0461 HELLO, LITTLE SNAKE (REQUEST DOUBLE MONTHLY TICKETS)

Boom!

A pale, jade-like hand, powerful enough to suppress an entire city, descended from the sky, its spiritual power surging like a tide.

In between heaven and earth, a magnificent Spirit Kingdom descended.

A barefooted graceful figure appeared, like a deity, she sat upon the throne of spirit, her wisdom evident, as the Heart’s Mediator of the Pre-emperor, grasping a withered, black-robed skeleton in her right hand, which was none other than the consumed Sect Hierarch.

"I was waiting for him to Breakthrough Seven. Until then, no one should lay a finger on him," she murmured.

Gentleman’s Sword, Golden Ruins Primordial Monarch, Heart’s Mediator!

Three Heavenly Persons within the top ten appeared, Wanxiang Dao Grandmaster, countless teachers and students were amazed.

These people were all coming for their champion. The weight of the champion was self-explanatory!

In fact, the old man Han Shan was also surprised.

Through the Northern Guardian King, he only knew that Shangguan Xue and Ye Xiaoyao would come to assist, which was typically enough to intimidate Demon Ghosts with one Heavenly Person in the top ten.

He didn’t expect that in order to kill Lu Chenzhou, the Witch would spare no expense, deploying all the high-level combat forces from the Jiangnan Region.

He also didn’t expect the Holy Master Sect Hierarch to burn divine power, abandoning the vessel to break through the blockade and enter the city to kill Lu Chenzhou. Truly insane.

He never expected the Heart’s Mediator, who should have been in the Po Suo Monastery, to arrive in Su City as well.

"It should be done..."

The old man Han Shan confidently burned his Spirit, determined to completely slay the white-faced gentleman before him in Su City.

...

On the other side.

The flame in Heart’s Mediator’s palm burned the Sect Hierarch’s remains to ash, her brow furrowed, feeling something was amiss.

Suddenly, she perceived behind her, her eyes wide, Lu Chenzhou, who had been standing by Stone Lake... was gone.

"Not good!"

Violent spiritual power swept out, instantly covering thousands of miles, leaving no grass or tree untouched.

Grandmasters, Great Grandmasters, countless strong people within the city were shaken, instinctively trembling under the pressure of this Pre-emperor.

With her brows furrowed, Heart’s Mediator murmured:

"He’s transmitted beyond a thousand miles."

Then her brow knotted, and within her Spirit Kingdom, a virtual shadow of a black-scaled giant python emerged, its forehead blooming with a seven-colored lotus flower, strange and splendid.

Faintly, she burned her spiritual power and ignited a golden spiritual divine power seed within her Sea of Consciousness.

"Divine Power·Shiva’s Eye!" As a Pre-emperor powerhouse, she had preliminarily gathered the Divine Power Seed, and to save her hope of reaching Breakthrough Seven, she had to desperately elevate, burning her spiritual power source to activate it.

Above Su City, the sky changed.

A mythical Shiva giant statue seemed to walk out, with a third eye on its head and a pitch-black pupil with a destructive aura on its forehead. As Shiva danced, stars lit up the dim night sky.

Those were all pupils.

Suddenly, one pupil shone brightly!

"Found you!"

Heart’s Mediator turned to a vast stream of particles, disappearing into the void, leaving only a shell sitting in the Spirit Kingdom.

...

Outside the city.

The Spiritual Eye Demon Emperor watched the aura of the Holy Master Sect Hierarch rush into the city and then disappear, his heart sinking.

"A Sect Hierarch dead just like that? A pity, almost succeeded in killing Lu Chenzhou. Didn’t expect the Heart’s Mediator to also be hiding in Su City, ultimately failed at the last second!"

The Spiritual Eye Demon Emperor turned to leave.

"You think you can come and go as you please?" Ye Xiaoyao swung his dual swords, one Yin, one Yang, and the Yin Yang Joint Attack divided day and night!

"Hmph! If I wish to leave, you cannot stop me!" The Spiritual Eye Demon Emperor spat out a golden sphere, which exploded with a bang, unleashing lightning to cover Su City’s surroundings.

After the thunder fire, the scenery was devastating.

A hundred miles ahead, a golden giant fish appeared, as if to vanish. Suddenly, a majestic mirage-like ancient building appeared, within which figures could be seen practicing swordsmanship. Faintly, clear sword sounds echoed through time.

"Hidden Swordline by West Lake, forged Green Blade through countless trials, carefree this life my true intention, with only one sword silhouetted against the sky!" Ye Xiaoyao pointed into the void, and a giant sword flew out from the ancient pavilions, the Cauldron Sword hidden within the Sword Tomb!

This Supreme Divine Weapon, continually transforming by absorbing endless Sword Intent from the Sword Tomb, had been nurtured by Hidden Sword Manor for generations. Now, only a step away from being an Unparalleled Divine Weapon.

A small imperfection was the absence of the Sword Spirit.

But under Ye Xiaoyao’s control, it could still unleash a Heaven and Earth Creation-like strike, the Cauldron Sword humming, its Supreme Sword Formation splitting the giant fish in two over more than ten miles!

"No!"

The Spiritual Eye Demon Emperor let out a piercing wail, but under Ye Xiaoyao’s Martial Arts Realm’s suppression, it was already impossible to return.

A late-stage Demon Emperor thus met his fall.

Ye Xiaoyao approached with ease, another sword, and the white-faced gentleman entangled with the old man Han Shan vanished like smoke.

Initial Realm Heavenly Ghosts, killing them is not difficult.

Only the Sect Hierarch had foresight, breaking free from Shangguan Xue’s attack and fleeing desperately.

"Daoist Ye, Lu Chenzhou was taken away by the Holy Master Sect’s leader through some unknown Divine Art."

"I saw it, the Heart’s Mediator has found the location. I’m hurrying over, I should still make it. Daoist Zhang, you and Daoist Shangguan guard Su City, await my news."

Ye Xiaoyao united with his sword, breaking through the air.

Elder Hanshan’s face was tense, he sighed: "Alas, ultimately I am too weak. Before Daoist Wang went into seclusion, he entrusted me to look after Lu Chenzhou. I couldn’t protect him well."

Shangguan Xue, however, was not flustered. She consoled: "You did your best, no one could have anticipated the enemy having such a move. Don’t worry, with the Heart’s Mediator, nothing will happen. The Spiritual quasi-emperor can manifest a sanctified presence in combat from thousands of miles away. Once she discovers it, that sect leader cannot escape."

"By the way, why is she here?"

"Lu owed her a favor. She needs Lu’s help to Breakthrough Seven, so she will naturally do her utmost to protect him, but Lu Chenzhou was always unaware."

"Alright then."

...

Thousands of miles outside Su City, in a desolate wilderness, Stone Lake appeared out of nowhere here, along with Lu Chenzhou by the lake. He opened his eyes, with a hint of confusion in his gaze.

"Where is this?"

He noticed that around the Stone Lake, there was the phantom of an impossibly long, green-scaled giant snake coiling around, and figures in black robes exuding the aura of the Four Realms standing firm.

"I originally planned to kill you, but it is such a pity. Such a good seedling, I didn’t sacrifice a host body for nothing, Lu Chenzhou, don’t disappoint me."

The giant snake phantom slithered.

"Who are you?"

"Who am I? I am the Holy Master! The God of Ten Thousand Snakes! The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons! The Spiraling Star Spirit!"

Thunderous sounds echoed, striking directly at Lu Chenzhou’s heart.

Seeing that conventional methods couldn’t kill Lu Chenzhou, the Holy Master decided to burn up all Divine Power, storming into Su City, attempting to possess Lu Chenzhou. But unexpectedly, the quasi-emperor intervened, intercepting it just before success.

Using his last bit of Divine Power, he performed a quasi-Seventh Rank Divine Art [Star Shifting], teleporting Lu Chenzhou to a pre-prepared place, where he arranged a Soul Transference Ceremony. Within the ceremony array lay a Residual Soul of the sect leader, which could also attempt a body seizing.

Boom!

A powerful force of suppression surged in. Lu Chenzhou was amazed to find that the vast True Gang Power within him was actually suppressed, its flow becoming extremely sluggish.

"Haha, futile resistance. I knew your defense was strong long ago. How could I be unprepared?"

The giant snake coiled around Lu Chenzhou, invisible force acting on the Immortal Armor, causing it to creak. Though it was just a wisp of Residual Soul, within the Soul Transference Ceremony, it could still exert the strength of the late Fifth Realm. Without True Gang available, Lu Chenzhou was entirely a lamb to the slaughter.

"The Witch is truly a startled bird, making me destroy such a fine body, wasting heaven’s gift. This lad’s Divine Wisdom is rarely seen! Once I refine him, I can quickly restore the sect leader’s strength, and break through Seventh Realm is just around the corner. Then I can transfer more Divine Power here. By then, this world will be mine! Everyone, burn your Divine Power, quickly shatter its Barrier!"

One protector after another obeyed his command, igniting Divine Power, their shells burning fiercely, turning to nothingness. The giant snake grew thicker and stronger, almost reaching the peak of the Fifth Realm.

The Soul Transference Ceremony’s light intensified. The Immortal Armor was on the verge of breaking, the giant snake’s eyes gleamed bright, drooling in greed.

Suddenly, an iron claw pierced into the giant snake’s body. Lu Chenzhou’s figure expanded continually, like a small giant. Despite the lack of True Gang Power, an explosive force shattered the coiling snake.

Behind Lu Chenzhou, a Spirit resembling a Mountain Giant Ape formed solidly, a pure Dao Yun of the Law of Power spread out.

"Move Three Mountains!"

The True Dragon Treasure Body roared, dragon blood boiled, ethereal dragon scales prominently surfaced on his skin.

With a wave of his hand, mountains composed of infinite Law of Power descended, one after another.

Rumble!

The Three Mountains suppressed.

The giant snake was smashed to the ground, its body instantly faded much, and its aura quickly fell back to the late Fifth Realm.

"This body strength is no less than that of the Fifth Realm Demon race known for strength. How is this possible? Wait, this giant ape seems to be a general under Emperor Zhan, whom I killed in the Divine War."

Before acting, the Holy Master analyzed all evident strengths of Lu Chenzhou. However, it didn’t know Lu Chenzhou had accepted a great power’s inheritance in the Primordial Mountain Cave Heaven, much less that he had already reached the Five Mountains Realm!

To a peak Holy Master, although the Ape God Ancestor is a great power, it is not regarded highly, easily slain like an elite monster with even its name unknown.

But to a mere Residual Soul, Lu Chenzhou’s strike was as heavy as the Five Finger Mountain!

Bang!

The ground quaked, Lu Chenzhou’s Spirit and body melded seamlessly, transforming into a wild and unruly Dragon Scale Giant Ape.

He grabbed the snake’s body, swinging it like a whip on the ground, causing landslides and earth fissures. The ceremony meticulously prepared for most Fifth Realm experts was torn apart by sheer brute force, primitive like an ancient alien species.

Some time later, he landed, holding a half-broken Residual body. Now the Holy Master remains were on its last breath, exerting all effort to momentarily intimidate Lu Chenzhou, then its Residual Soul flew into Lu Chenzhou’s forehead.

"Only brute force!"

The Holy Master remains rejoiced inside, feigning weakness, seizing the opportunity to intrude Lu Chenzhou’s mind successfully.

"See me seize you and..." The Holy Master’s sentence stopped abruptly, as it found itself in a marvelous world where the universe’s Milky Way and stars’ birth and death were visible.

Ahead was a towering giant tree. The Holy Master raised its head, trying to see but unable to find the tree’s top...

Beneath the giant tree stood a pure white figure of chaotic disorder, arms crossed, standing straight, glancing sideways.

"Hello, little snake."
