Chapter 2091: Conclusion of Battle on the Western Front
Clarity gradually returned to Ao Xiaowu’s eyes, which were filled with boundless fury, agitation, and irritation.
However, there was still displeasure on her face as she glared at the stone statue before her. “You disturbed my sweet dreams... How can I not experience morning grumpiness?”
Morning grumpiness?
The dazed and confused Heavenly Eternity God suddenly understood something.
He felt like crying as he looked at the annoyed and furious female before him. “Could it be... could it be that you used the might of ‘morning grumpiness’ just then?” he murmured.
Ao Xiaowu nodded. “Correct. I have a hidden ability. That is, whenever my standby mode is forcefully interrupted, and whenever I’m forcefully woken from my sleep, all of the power in my body will be released in an instant due to the surge of negative emotions. This ability is called ‘The Power of Morning Grumpiness’.”
Heavenly Eternity God: “...”
What the hell is that?
The Power of Morning Grumpiness?
Does this ability truly exist?!
The Heavenly Eternity God felt like vomiting blood.
In the battle just then, any fluctuation in power would have been able to influence the direction of the battle.
In other words, his brilliant plan to attack Ao Xiaowu had actually triggered her last remaining reserve of power? Moreover, this power became the last straw that broke its back?
The Heavenly Eternity God trembled in vexation. He felt like he had just swallowed a huge pile of sh*t.
What on earth had he done just then?
This was already beyond the level of drawing legs on a snake[1]! This was f*cking suicide!
“Huh? You’re crying?” Ao Xiaowu wore an expression of surprise as she looked at the Heavenly Eternity God.
Two trails of liquid streamed down from the eyes of the eternally unmoving stone statue. By the looks of it, the liquid was almost about to converge into a river.
“No, I’m merely shedding water!” the Heavenly Eternity God said stubbornly.
Ao Xiaowu: “...”
Crack...
The flawless divine halo above the Heavenly Eternity God’s head—which seemed like it would be unchanging for all of eternity—suddenly started to fracture uncontrollably.
This divine halo wasn’t like the divine halos of other Heavenly Gods, which simply cracked in one place at a time. Instead, it acted like toppling dominoes, with each fracture triggering more fractures throughout its body. It started with a tiny crack before eventually building up to a massive number of huge cracks. The uncontrollable chain reaction directly forced it onto a path of destruction.
“No... I can’t die like this!” The Heavenly Eternity God shook violently as emotions surged through his mind.
However, his efforts couldn’t prevent the unpreventable. In some respects, the Heavenly Eternity God was indeed invincible. However, once his state of eternity was shattered, and eternity was rendered non-eternal, then the only fate that awaited him was death!
The Heavenly Eternity God howled in anger as he lunged toward Ao Xiaowu. He wanted to drag her down with himself.
However, his body rapidly disintegrated into specks of disappearing light as he charged toward her.
When he arrived before Ao Xiaowu, much of his body had already been blown away by the violent winds, disappearing from heaven and earth once and for all.
The wind lifted Ao Xiaowu’s disheveled and blood-dyed hair.
Her blood-red robe fluttered in the billowing winds as she silently stood there just like that.
“I’ve finally... won...” A smile that carried a hint of tragic beauty blossomed on Ao Xiaowu’s face. “They all say that the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas has no powerful beings and is an embarrassment to the Primordial Dragon Tribe... Now that I’ve slain a Heavenly God, who still dares to say that my Ao Family is incapable?”
Countless cultivators had already started to cheer in jubilation.
All kinds of reverent and fanatic gazes shifted onto that beautiful and frail-looking red-robed female.
Her ability to slay a near-invincible Heavenly God amazed the entire battlefield on the western front.
Ao Xiaowu smiled, and she strode forward in a bid to continue battling. However, an unbearable sensation of dizziness rushed into her head. Her body swayed slightly before darkness filled her vision...
“You actually dared to kill the Heavenly Eternity God! Die!”
A Heaven Pioneer Stage Great General roared in anger as he flew over on his flaming celestial sword and tore through the air like a blistering meteorite. He plunged toward the unconscious female on the ground.
At this moment, another potent saber projection descended from the sky and slashed toward the Great General’s body in an extremely violent manner. The Great General raised his sword to parry, yet the devastating saber projection instantly shattered his flaming celestial sword. Then, it hammered both him and his flaming celestial sword into the ground!
A mighty and domineering True God appeared before Ao Xiaowu.
“Have you asked for my permission before trying to kill her?”
A male who had three eyes and was standing upright even though his body was riddled with severe wounds spoke in a calm manner.
That’s right, he was the Heavenly Court’s True Lord Erlang!
True Lord Erlang had made his mind up. Since he still couldn’t challenge the Heavenly Gods yet, he would deal with the Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals on the battlefield! He would let those arrogant Great Generals taste the wrath of the Heavenly Court’s War God!
Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan lost all hope as she watched the events unfolding in the distance.
Right now, Chang’e’s attacks were raining down on her without pause. Streak after streak of pure moon energy exploded through heaven and earth. They were dazzling and eye-catching, and they were beautiful beyond words.
Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan retreated non-stop as she endured Chang’e’s relentless attacks. Meanwhile, she barely launched any attacks of her own. This wasn’t to say that she was afraid of Chang’e. More precisely, she had become afraid of this battlefield.
Heavenly God Dong Long had died of exhaustion, the Heavenly Space God had been crushed to death by a moon, the Heavenly Eternity God had dug his own grave, and the Heavenly Karma God was being mercilessly pummeled. By the looks of it, the Heavenly Karma God wouldn’t be able to turn the tables either. In the worst-case scenario, it might even be beaten to death... Out of all the Heavenly Gods, only she had a slight advantage. However, if the Celestial Thearch successfully recovered his strength, then how was she supposed to continue this battle?
Rely on her, a Heavenly Human of the Divine Heaven Stage, to turn the tables?
If she activated all nine of her divine halos and unleashed her paramount strength, then there was a chance that she would be able to defeat both Chang’e and the Celestial Thearch. However, there was one very serious problem...
That was, she didn’t want to die!
A Heavenly Human of the Divine Heaven Stage would definitely die if they activated all nine of their divine halos.
In fact, the overwhelming majority of Heavenly Gods wouldn’t hesitate to activate all nine of their divine halos if they came across a situation like this, even if it meant dying. They were willing to sacrifice themselves for victory and for the Heavenly Dao!
However, Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan was different. Would you look, she was still wrapping herself up in protection!
“I... I still can’t die yet...
“At least not now...”
There was a trace of determination in Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan’s emotionless eyes.
“My power of darkness belongs to the Heavenly Darkness God. How can I die without even seeing him once?
“Moreover, even if I activate all nine of my divine halos, I’ll most likely still lose this battle...”
The young female continued to analyze the situation in her mind. After a short while, she sighed softly as if she had reached some decision. A crisp voice started to travel over the entire battlefield.
“Attention, Heavenly Human soldiers! Stop your attacks and retreat!”
Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan’s command swept throughout the entire battlefield.
The Heavenly Karma God stared at the young female in disbelief. Then, he saw the ferocious Black and White Spirit Snakes who were still continuing to lunge at him. Afterward, he glanced at the powerful Chang’e as well as the secretly regenerating Celestial Thearch. He gritted his teeth and commanded, “Retreat! All soldiers, retreat!”
The commands of the two Heavenly Gods stunned the entire battlefield.
The tens of millions of soldiers from the Kingdom of the Nine States trembled with relief as tears of happiness welled up in their eyes.
They had successfully defended the western front!
