Chapter 86: Chapter 77: Four Lords Guarding, Big Boast of Gods and Devils!_1
Boom~!
Another earth-shattering roar reverberated, following which, behind Chen Chang’an, up in the sky.
A dazzling red color appeared.
It was a massive sun!
The sun hung in the sky, its radiant glow illuminating the entire Wuxiang realm!
Then, a muscular figure with ancient bronze-color muscles, showing a ferocious face, emerged from that big sun.
On the man, was barely anything but a scant amount of cloth, and in his hand was a bronze spear, which made him look like a native from a wild region.
However, even though he was wearing simple clothes, his momentum was overwhelming.
Waves of black energy were seen emanating from his body.
The powerful aura he gave off was like a god-demon that had walked out of Hell.
No!
It wasn’t like, he indeed was a god-demon!
"Order granted to ’Kua Fu’!"
The next moment, a deep majestic divine sound resounded from his mouth.
As the divine sound echoed, it seemed to be originating from ancient times.
Upon the utterance, the world falls in silence!
Swoosh~!
Then, the last to appear, ’Kua Fu’, suddenly waved his hand towards the front, unleashing a terrifying violent light.
And then, in the sight of bare eyes,
The boundless aura of the Tian Yuan Sword Immortal’s slash was abruptly halted!
Not just halted!
It even began to dissipate!
Pu~!
With his momentum being dissipated, Tianyuanzi received a terrifying backlash.
The next moment, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The figure that was moving forward to attack only then halted forcefully.
He looked at Chen Chang’an, especially the four Supreme Star Lords who appeared behind Chen Chang’an, and his face couldn’t help but show fear.
Not only him, every person who was watching the battle at this moment was no longer able to maintain their calm.
Because each of the Four Great Star Lords that Chen Chang’an had evoked was terrifyingly unmatched in their aura!
The pressure they brought was almost identical to that of ancient god-demons!
"You... you’re definitely not just a scholar, who are you?"
Pu~!
After spitting out another mouthful of blood, Tianyuanzi looked at Chen Chang’an with trembling fear and asked.
"Didn’t I already tell you?"
"Just a lazy man who dislikes problems."
Chen Chang’an laughed.
Then, he turned his attention away from Tianyuanzi, looking at the four people hailing from the four great stars behind him, and said:
"Many thanks for your assistance, sirs."
"Master can rest assured, now that we have your command, we will carry it out!"
A voice rang out between the heaven and the earth.
It was the voice of Qi Sha.
Although the others remained silent, their actions were evident of their current state.
To serve and execute orders for the Master!
Boom~boom~boom~!
Acting as desired!
The very next moment, the four Star Lords each took a step away from their respective celestial realms.
They presided over the heavens and the earth, looking down upon all beings, judging thousands of years in a glance!
Thereafter, the four acted as one!
Each of them having a vast and magnificent starry sky over their heads,
casting shadows respectively on the left, right, left rear, and right rear of Chen Chang’an, illuminating the four directions around him.
Under the illumination of these four grand starry skies, Chen Chang’an stood supreme.
He was like a god-king in the world!
Boom~!
Although he remained stationary, his massive aura almost caused the heavens to tremble.
"I, the master of the Taiyin Palace, hold the Taiyin Star Palace, request the order for the court."
"All celestial stars and constellations provide protection!"
Then, with a cold shout from the Taiyin Palace Master.
She walked down from the starry sky, lingering in the void above Chen Chang’an’s head.
Her figure was enveloped in elegant clothing, entirely shrouded in the mist.
Noble and cold, truly resembling a noble lord ruling over a billion star palaces!
Then, after Taiyin Palace’s master reached the sky above Chen Chang’an, she waved her hand.
In an instant, countless stars responded to her command, protecting Chen Chang’an by law.
They provided him protection.
"I, Wu Qu, will hold the left for the master!"
The Wuqu Star Monarch took a high position, focusing on defending the surrounding sky.
His white tiger followed him, even though it remained silent.
Even just standing there, it was as vast as the heavens.
The terrible divine might on this one person and one tiger was constantly deterring countless people around
Qi Sha Star Monarch was based on Chen Chang’an’s right side, moving with Qi Sha Star.
Together with Wu Qu Star, they guarded Chen Chang’an’s left and right,
At the same time, in protecting Chen Chang’an, his immense aura was also pressuring the surrounding people.
However, whether it was the Taiyin Palace Master, Qi Sha, or Wu Qu Star’s Ru Shou, all of their auras were surging.
But their aura was kept out of the battlefield.
It was all used for defense on all sides!
Obviously, they were not the protagonists in this fight.
Only the ’Kua Fu’ with the great halberd was left in the field.
What did this scene imply?
It was self-explanatory.
"Bold!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Tian Yuanzi was utterly enraged.
What did this scene represent, how could he not know?
It was representative of Chen Chang’an planning to face him with just one-fourth of his force.
This was disdain, naked disdain!
This was even more like a humiliation, a great disgrace!
Such a hatred, if not returned, is ungentlemanly!
"Boy, I must kill you today!"
"Kill!"
The next moment, Tian Yuanzi made his move.
This time, his onslaught was much fiercer than before.
Aside from the endless release of mighty divine skills that held no reserved strength, his anger was sky-high.
Emperor roars in rage, a million corpses fall.
Sword Immortal enflames in fury, heaven and earth collapse!
Today, his sword is bound to shed blood!
"Your opponent is I!"
However.
The moment Tianyuanzi rushed forward, ’Kua Fu’ moved.
A sun rose above his head, instantly appearing in front of Tianyuanzi.
He huffed coldly, an infinite terrifying aura emanating from his body.
The next instant, he picked up the halberd in his hand, directly countering Tianyuanzi’s slaughter.
Boom~!
The next moment, a man and a spirit, two terrifyingly potent beings, collided head-on.
The powerful momentum caused a tempest in heaven and earth, and even tore the void apart.
Boom~!
Then came several thunderous rumbles in the blink of an eye.
This was a sign that the battle between ’Kua Fu’ and Tianyuanzi had entered a feverish phase.
In an instant, across heaven and earth, endless onslaughts instigated by these two formidable beings could be seen everywhere.
Their furious battle was incredibly terrifying and intense.
However, one of the original contestants, Chen Chang’an, seemed as if he had nothing to do with this. He merely found a spot to stand and watch the show.
"Is this... isn’t this too arrogant? Does he think that he can defeat Senior Tianyuanzi just based on some random helping hand?"
"Right, too arrogant. Just wait until Senior Tianyuanzi slays that ’Kua Fu’ deity. He’ll be in for a surprise."
"Hmph! What’s so amazing about relying on external forces?"
"I originally thought that Chen Chang’an of Tianshui was quite formidable, so I admired him."
"I didn’t expect him to be someone who can only rely on others."
"If he can only rely on others, even if he’s somewhat accomplished right now, how can he become stronger in the future?"
"....."
Underneath the sky, the crowd witnessing this scene were abuzz with chatter.
They all felt dissatisfaction over Chen Chang’an’s act of summoning help.
It’s not that he couldn’t ask for assistance!
But in this high-stakes battle, if you lack courage, you should just concede!
Why start off with such arrogance?
The crowd was disgusted by this very point.
Lacking true strength, and only able to act arrogant with other’s support,
This kind of person really made them look down!
In an instant, Chen Chang’an’s reputation among the crowd fell drastically.
Some even started to question his authenticity and suspected that even his breakthrough to the Great Scholar realm was a hoax.
However, those who thought so weren’t the majority.
In a corner of the sky, one man watched the scene with furrowed brows.
"Something’s not right, really not right!"
He muttered with a frown.
"What’s wrong, Senior Brother? What’s not right? Did anything happen?"
A curious voice came from the side.
"That Chen Chang’an, something’s not right about him."
The one called ’Senior Brother’ muttered again.
Then, he sank into deep thought.
The more he pondered, the stronger his feeling of uneasiness became.
"What’s wrong? Senior Brother, what’s not right with that Chen Chang’an?"
"Isn’t he just calling for a few helping hands?"
"Should there be anything weird about that?"
The one called ’Junior Brother’ asked even more puzzled.
"A person who only knows how to rely on external things will not go far."
He added after that.
"No, Junior Brother, you may have overlooked something."
The one called ’Senior Brother’ shook his head and said,
"Those four, although they were summoned as help by that Chen Chang’an, didn’t you think about where he summoned them from?"
"These four people, have you seen them anywhere in reality?"
"This...?"
Suddenly, Junior Brother was stumped.
He really hadn’t thought about this problem.
Yes.
Although those four were indeed summoned as help by that Chen Chang’an, he didn’t know where they were summoned from.
Summoned out of thin air? Unlikely.
Were they lying in ambush beforehand? Even more unlikely!
Junior Brother admitted that if there were four such powerful individuals in the Wuxiang realm, it would be impossible for him not to have any impression of them.
Moreover, he had never heard of any Demon Deity named ’Kua Fu’ or Taiyin Palace Master in the Wuxiang realm!
"Senior Brother, are you implying that these are Heavenly Void Deities?!"
Suddenly, it seemed like Junior Brother had an epiphany. He cried out in disbelief, looking at the elder.
"Junior Brother, I’m quite certain that it is the Heavenly Void Deities because, besides this, what else in your mind can match the level of those four in the sky?"
Senior Brother nodded and said.
"What?! They’re really Heavenly Void Deities?!"
Upon hearing this, Junior Brother was entirely stunned. He would not question Senior Brother’s judgement.
While speaking, he gazed at the figure in the sky, his eyes filled with endless regret.
Heavenly Void Deities, an ancient term.
This is a title for a significant cultivation method.
It came into being during the God-Demon Era, much earlier than the Ten Saints era.
The Heavenly Void Deities emerge within a cultivator’s heart.
Through the cultivator’s consciousness, one can connect to the inner heavenly abode.
And there is a probability to build a spiritual bridge with the deity within, thereby achieving a connection between human and god.
Deities hatched from such a connection are called Heavenly Void Deities!
Theoretically, the stronger a cultivator’s ’consciousness,’ the stronger the Heavenly Void Deities that are produced.
Of course, that’s only in theory.
Because after appearing in the ancient God-Demon Era, this path only existed in legends in subsequent ages.
No one could walk down this road again.
Even the one reputed to be the world’s premier literary saint, Confucius of the Confucian Path, despite spending his entire life exploring, never found this path!
In his remaining life, he left one sentence to the world.
"The Confucian Path can connect to the gods!"
Then he perished in the ancient catastrophe.
