“Is she dead?”

The Daoxing Tianzun casually asked.

“They were all good-for-nothing trash and were completely annihilated.” Wei Hu was filled with contempt for these cultivators.

“Three Houses and Five Sects. So many people were unable to take down a single contracted Great Sage Equal Of Heaven?” The Daoxing Tianzun was very displeased. From her perspective, a contracted Divine Name’s greatest weakness was her Emissary. A Divine Emissary was often very weak in battle and was simply a burden. That peak Void Return Realm fighters were unable to kill a single cultivator was unimaginable.

“The Feng Clan never appeared. The combat strength of the Three Houses and Five Sects was indeed significantly compromised.” The Huanglong Zhenren pursed her lips.

“This One must offer this Feng Clan a good reception.” The Daoxing Tianzun was expressionless.

“Master Venerable, what now?” Wei Hu was a bit afraid of that monkey. Recalling the malevolent strike from that day which struck Han Dulong down, the woman still had nightmares of it even now.

“This is perfect. If she had appeared on the day that the Daydream blooms, This One honestly would have been annoyed. Wei Hu, Xue Ehu. you will guard this lake. Little Sister Zhenren and This One shall go meet that Great Sage Equal Of Heaven who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court a hundred thousand years ago.” A slight grin flashed across the corner of the Daoxing Tianzun’s lips. This was perfectly in line with her wishes; dispatching the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven before the Daydream blossomed would save them much worry later.

“Good, This Zhenren also wants to see this monkey.”

The pair became divine lights that flew towards the south.

Wei Hu and Xue Ehu guarded the Sun And Moon Pavilion on the Tianzun’s behalf, watching over the Thunder Lake.

On the southern Thunder Swamp.

A gloomy wind blew, and evil qi rolled.

Several dozen Void Return cultivators were routed by Qi Qi’s Jingu Bang, and they scattered in all directions. They had originally maintained delusions of hunting the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven’s Destiny. Only at their first contact now did they realize they honestly had overestimated themselves. 

The High Ancient Divine Realm Sun Wukong brandished the Approaching Heaven magic treasure “Ruyi Jingu Bang,” which swept in all directions and was unstoppable.

Hundreds of Void Return cultivators were killed or injured under Sun Wukong’s staff without any power to fight back such that Nüba and Sun Wukong’s Divine Emissary did not even need to take action.

“Dustless Fan!!”

Meng Zhen activated a magic treasure. The old man’s complexion was ashen as he poured forth massive magical energy.

A plain and unadorned fan appeared. This fan was nondescript and unremarkable, but once it appeared, it blew out a cleansing qi that surprisingly dispersed the evil qi of Qi Qi’s staff technique. The rolling evil qi surprisingly receded under the Dustless Fan’s power, and even Qi Qi’s divine might was reduced upon contact.

Meng Zhen’s “Dustless Fan” was an ancient treasure, the magic treasure he cherished most. This treasure was able to eliminate fiend qi and abate enemy divine might and magical energy. At the same time, after fanning it, it would bring out a clean air free of dust and dirt. In this kind of air, Meng Zhen’s magical energy would receive an enormous boost, and he could avoid being controlled by inner demons.

Nüba sat on her throne and watched the Dustless Fan.

A clean, simple, natural air rose plain. Under this air, even her own magic treasure and magical energy had become weak.

“This magic treasure is not bad.” Nüba’s eyes gleamed with the desire to seize it.

Meng Zhen used the Dustless Fan to wipe away Qi Qi’s evil qi. He immediately activated an escape technique and attacked the Divine Emissary.

The old man was deeply aware that killing the Divine Emissary was his only chance at life.

Qi Qi brandished the Jingu Bang, unmoved as she struck down several magic treasures and abilities. A group of cultivators were heavily wounded and could only retreat.

“Nine Turns Extinction Thunderbolt!!”

Meng Zhen used his strongest ability and flicked his fingers.

A ball of thunder was unleashed.

This thunderball rumbled, its black light blinding. Whatever space it touched was warped and devoured. This Nine Turns Extinction Thunderbolt was the Meng Clan’s top-notch Tier Seven ultimate technique. The thunderbolt appeared ordinary, but once it struck the target, it would go on to produce nine transformations, as if it possessed the nine Divine Thunders capable of destroying every Tier Seven ability in Primordial World while also matching Tier Eight.

A Primordial Infant cultivator would undoubtedly die once struck.

Just as the Nine Turns Extinction Thunderbolt was about to land on the Divine Emissary’s head, Nüba smirked all of a sudden. Her chair glowed, unleashing a dragon. Space contorted, and she unexpectedly vanished into thin air.

“Extinction Thunderbolt, devour space.”

Meng Zhen shouted.

He launched more thunder in succession.

A wide expanse of space was blasted by thunder and devoured.

The dragon phantom manifested, yet it had appeared a hundred meters higher. That red jade chair hovered in midair, and it was only then that Meng Zhen got a clearer look.

This chair was completely open, with a round top and dragon reliefs whose tails faded into cloud patterns. The armrests each were carved with dragons that had three long and coiling tails, filling the entire space. The entire body was of red jade, glistening with crimson light.

“Dragon Throne!!”

Meng Zhen recognized this treasure.

“Not bad, you have a discerning eye.”

Nüba praised.

The Dragon Throne was capable of moving through void space and was considered a flight-type magic treasure, but it did have one very distinct aspect. When it moved through void space, the Dragon Throne was able to bring along people within a certain range.

“Heavenly Thunder, Earthly Fire!”

The old man’s voice boomed like thunder as he unleashed countless sparks of lightning.

“Watch this!!”

Qi Qi had already turned back and brought the Jingu Bang fiercely down. A net of electricity unfolded behind Meng Zhen, but how could it stop the Approaching Heaven magic treausre. His back was struck by the staff, nearly forcing Meng Zhen’s Primordial Spirit out. If the old man had not used the Nine Turns Thunderbolt for body tempering, he would have been disintegrated like an ordinary Void Return cultivator. “Hm?” Qi Qi was a bit surprised to see her staff fail to kill him.

The girl easily swung again, this time with the Destiny Hundred Thousand Celestial Soldiers Break.

Meng Zhen ejected his Primordial Spirit and allowed his physical body to be rendered to paste. His Primordial Spirit sparked with electricity as if it was lightning itself, exceptional. The Dustless Fan fiercely fanned, eliminating all of the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven’s incoming evil qi before he escaped disaster at last.

This Great Sage Equal Of Heaven was too powerful. With no chance of victory, Meng Zhen fled towards the Thunder Lake.

In front of him, the Daoxing Tianzun and the Huanglong Zhenren arrived in divine lights.

“Tianzun, please save This Humble One.” Meng Zhen was pleasantly surprised to see hope.

Qi Qi did not pursue. Instead, she used her staff to completely sweep away the remaining Void Return cultivators as she coldly stared ahead.

Nüba retracted her relaxed grin. The Dragon Throne concealed itself in void space.

The Daoxing Tianzun flicked her finger, utterly destroying Meng Zhen’s Primordial Spirit in the blink of an eye as easily as if she had swatted a fly. The woman landed in front of Qi Qi; she was tall and wore a long robe, mature and refined, hallowed and extraordinary.

The Daoxing Tianzun looked Qi Qi over. 

“Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong, you truly do not respect This One. Do you believe it is still the Primal Chaos Heavenly Court’s era?”

Qi Qi pursed her lips, unfazed: “You were the ones who sought trouble with Old Sun first.”

“The Immemorial Royal Family’s survivors should be eliminated.” The Daoxing Tianzun smiled. She spotted Nüba: “Nüba, have you come to the Thunder Swamp for the Daydream, too? Why not stay in the Northern Primordial. If you die, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan would be heartbroken.”

“This Palace was merely passing through. Please, be at ease, Heavenly Venerable.”

The Daoxing Tianzun smirked. Then, her gaze landed on the Divine Emissary.

“So it was you who dispatched people to kill Old Sun?” Qi Qi gripped the golen cudgel and somersaulted, and a multitude of staff-shadows descended, covering Heaven and Earth.

The Daoxing Tianzun did not even look. She flicked her finger.

The golden staff-shadows vanished instantly, and Qi Qi sensed a powerful Divine Energy approach. The Ruyi Jingu Bang’s divine light flashed. There was a loud bang, as if she had hit something in midair.

Qi Qi was immediately sent flying.

“This One shall take your Destiny.”

The Daoxing Tianzun spread her fingers. An invisible net formed in the air and trapped Qi Qi. Countless rays of clear qi twisted towards Qi Qi’s body. Nüba frowned, for she had no choice but to intervene. A flame shot forth from her hand, and high temperatures suddenly descended upon the marsh.

The vegetation dried up, and the swamp sizzled and boiled.

That rolling clear qi was immediately evaporated.

The Daoxing Tianzun was disdainful. A Devil-felling Pestle appeared in her hand that she tossed. It pierced through empty space and descended towards the pair. Qi Qi broke free of the clear qi and brandished the golden cudgel. The Approaching Heaven magic treasure emitted a radiant divine might. The girl donned golden armor and a purple crown, her might awe-inspiring.

Her body was like the Five Sacred Mountains ash she raised the staff shaking Heaven and Earth.

“A group of youngsters dares to peddle tricks in front of This One. Awfully complacent, are you not?” The Daoxing Tianzun’s eyes emitted divine light, and in an instant, Heaven and Earth changed colors. The sky above the Thunder Swamp rolled with lightning, and countless bolts of Divine Thunder blasted towards the pair like rain.

Nüba used her Chaos Rank to ward off the attack, and heat gathered into a hurricane that rolled towards the Divine Thunder.

Qi Qi also charged into the storm, her divine light surging for a moment.

“Die!!” The Daoxing Tianzun softly uttered a single word.

Nüba and Qi Qi felt the Divine Energy in their bodies dissipate in that instant. Clear qi thrust through their chests like swords. As if a chain had pierced through them, they were suspended high in the air. The woman waved her hand, and a swathe of Divine Energy twisted towards the pair.

The Daoxing Tianzun scoffed when she noticed that the Divine Emissary in the cloak was apparently unmoved the entire time. He turned around and retreated, as if he was intending to flee the battle.

“Great Sage Equal Of Heaven, to have such a trash Divine Emissary is truly lamentable.” The Daoxing Tianzun thought he had been frightened by her divine might, and she sneered.

All of a sudden, the clouds in the sky rolled. A dragon cry from the nine firmaments echoed through every corner of the swamp. The wind blew, the clouds rolled, and countless Divine Thunders were scattered. A dragon-shadow descended from the sky and circled around Qi Qi and Nüba, dispelling the Daoxing Tianzun’s bindings on them.

That dragon-shadow was a brown-haired woman, standing tall and proud with a graceful figure.

“Yinglong!”

The Daoxing Tianzun recognized her as the Yellow Emperor’s number one fierce general, with a Realm that was also unfathomable.

“Xuanyuanshi and Chiyou are battling at Zhuolu, how do you have the time to run here to This One’s domain.” The Daoxing Tianzun felt something was wrong.

“Get going!”

Yinglong said. A cloud wrapped around Qi Qi, Nüba, and the cloaked figure. Then, it disappeared.

How could the Daoxing Tianzun allow for these variables. She immediately launched her Divine Energy to obstruct them, using the “Northern Emperor Demon-suppressing Divine Spell.” This ability was from the Chan Sutra, and it was able to suppress demons and slay gods. A divine emperor’s silhouette manifested and grabbed at empty space.

Yinglong blew out a white qi.

This white qi blew the divine emperor phantom over. The woman’s figure moved, and white clouds surged in the swamp, their layers covering the area, surprisingly preventing any progress forward. Then, Yinglong raised her wrist, and the swamp’s cloud-qi barreled towards the Daoxing Tianzun.

The Daoxing Tianzun also unleashed her Divine Energy, and the two Divine Names that surpassed High Ancient Divine Realm clashed in the Thunder Swamp.

Heaven and Earth thundered, quaking violently.

Meanwhile, the Huanglong Zhenren was moving with the wind, giving chase.

Not a moment later, the Huanglong Zhenren intercepted the three, however, she was not like her elder sister. The Yellow Dragon Sword in her hand directly slashed at the Divine Emissary’s mantle, and the sword transformed into a large yellow dragon formed of Dark Yellow qi. Qi Qi, Nüba, and the cloaked Emissary were unable to withstand it. That Yellow Dragon Sword’s light tore apart the cloak, revealing a slender figure.

A woman?

The Huanglong Zhenren was at a loss. She remembered that the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven’s Divine Emissary ought to be a man.

With the cloak shredded, the woman held back no longer. She took a long heavy spear into her hands and thrust it at the Huanglong Zhenren. A pale white spear-light swept towards the Huanglong Zhenren, who had no room to maneuver.

Country-breaker Music!!

“You are a Divine Name!” The Yellow Dragon Sword broke this attack, but the Huanglong Zhenren clearly sensed the Divine Energy that her target’s body bore; that absolutely was not something an Emissary could have.

Xian Zhen did not answer her. She raised her long spear and attacked.

Qi QI and Nüba’s attacks immediately followed. From their coordination, it was clear that the events unfolding were planned beforehand, and everything was within their expectations.

The Huanglong Zhenren’s expression was confounded, yet she did not dare be careless.

She used Billion Destinies.

    1. This is honestly a cool diversion, but I guess this means that Qi Lin is infiltrating the Thunder Lake alone.
