Chapter 1066: Chapter 764: The Night Before (Double-Length)
"Lord Toad is becoming more and more arrogant, completely sidelining us." The Blood God had murderous intent in his eyes.
"We shouldn’t have revived him back then. I knew he would be trouble," the Old Mother said coldly.
"When I emerge, I’ll devour all these traitors." The Lord of Mountains narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The Witch said, "It doesn’t matter, they’re just a rabble. Just let them hold back the Tianxia Civilization. Everything is being used to its fullest now that Lu Chenzhou has likely fallen. We have no obstacles ahead; the Tianxia Civilization is insignificant. Our real enemy is that damn traitor."
"Lu Chenzhou has disappeared without us having to make a move. It’s been ten years." The Blood God couldn’t help but laugh.
Previously, during the most desperate times, he even wondered if he would be annihilated by Lu Chenzhou.
But suddenly, this genius vanished just like that.
No matter how much they searched, they couldn’t find a trace.
Only an empty shell remains in the Heart Realm, devoid of any spirituality, clearly showing he has gone off to oblivion. It’s very likely he failed the Heart Tribulation.
"Forget Lu Chenzhou; that traitor is already one step away from Supreme. If he reaches it, it will be too late for everything," the Witch said.
"Then let’s attack!" the Old Mother said.
"We must protect the fruits of victory we’ve worked so hard for from being defiled!" These powerful True Gods were emotionally charged.
The Witch said with a somber expression, "Ten years later, we will all emerge together to hunt the traitor!"
...
Above the Dao Palace, a pure white star.
A bizarre face suddenly opened its eyes; just now, it sensed something breaking through the Jade Membrane of the Great Universe.
"A time-space vortex... Some foreigner has arrived in the Great Universe again, another new variable. Let me see who it is."
Relying on the Great Cosmic Will, it was almost omniscient and omnipotent.
But when it wanted to see something, it was interfered with by the dying struggle of the Great Cosmic Will.
"Hmph, of course it’s you causing trouble again, trying to prepare some backup to deal with me? Too late."
The bizarre face muttered to itself, like a madman.
"I have meticulously planned for endless ages, only a small step away from harvesting the fruit; no one can stop me. Once I achieve Supreme, I’ll destroy the Three Thousand Worlds and the Xia Realm, restarting the Great Universe... No matter what unstable factors exist, I will clear them all. I am the true master of the Great Universe."
...
In the blink of an eye, it was three years.
Another five deities emerged, self-declaring as Star Lords; the Moon Palace members increased to eighteen.
Lord Toad dispatched troops, launching a large-scale siege on Tianxia Civilization.
Tianxia used nearly all of its trump cards and resorts, barely surviving the Moon Palace’s assaults.
In the recent counter-siege operation, the Sword River Great Saint was trapped in an encirclement, unable to extricate himself.
He laughed out loud, exerting all his might to deliver the most glorious and radiant blade of his lifetime.
The blade light like the galaxy before dawn, killing a Middle Rank Demigod.
Bang, bang, bang! Divine Arts rained down, and the Sword River Great Saint perished, his dao extinguished.
"Damn! I just broke through to Great Power, and you’re dead?" Upon hearing the news, the Star-devouring Sword Demon had eyes red with rage.
"Retreat, outnumbered and fighting to the death is a dead end." A figure blocked the Star-devouring Sword Demon; it was Mr. Turtle.
His eyes were exhausted, his Star Undying Armor covered in scars, already close to breaking apart.
If it weren’t for this armor, he might not have survived the past ten years.
"Damn it, truly wretched, why am I cultivating so slowly, always with regrets." The Sword Demon’s voice was hoarse.
Having witnessed too many fellow deaths, he just became Great Power but felt no joy.
"As long as you live, there’s hope," said the Eternal Immortal.
"It’s too late; everything is too late; this is only half the deities emerged, the stronger ones are yet to come out." Hei Zhou sighed.
She only hated that she lived in the worst era, being a Great Power but unable to secure even the next day’s survival.
"There’s still a chance; perhaps the Dragon King can comprehend the Tenth Rank Dao, ascending to True God Level. Once he’s True God, even Upper God isn’t a match." The Priest said, "And, Chenzhou is not dead; he’s just undergoing a tribulation; his physical body is still in the Heart Realm, don’t give up everyone."
"Chenzhou will return," Yaochi Immortal stated firmly.
Undergoing the Saint Tribulation and taking longer is normal.
She and Lu Qianfan will wait for the day Lu Chenzhou returns.
The Water Mansion transformed into a streak of light, carrying the group away.
...
Two years later, the Moon Palace members increased to twenty-four.
Besides the powerful deities still loyal to the Witch, nearly all other lower-level members joined the Moon Palace.
In the vast starscape, the Water Mansion wandered in solitude.
Outside, the world was filled with demons and ghosts.
Lord Toad sat alone on the throne, watching civilizations fade and laughing at the ashes of Tianxia’s powerhouses.
"It seems I don’t need to emerge; the war is already over."
As the wielder of shared Divine Power, each strength gained by his subordinates also increased his power.
His strength gap with the Witch was gradually narrowing.
He didn’t know what the Witch was up to, indifferent to his rebellion.
But the final winner was definitely him.
When he swallowed the twenty-four gods, he would infinitely approach Supreme.
...
Tianxia Calendar 2458.
Heart Realm.
Lu Chenzhou’s statue-like body finally moved.
He gazed at the Martial Arts Tree in his mind, and his realizations and cultivation insights from the laws of the Star Universe were reshaping this body.
With a single thought, he could trigger the great tribulation of his physical body and prepare for sainthood.
However, he had no time for now, seemingly in closed cultivation, but the powerful Way of Cause and Effect permeated the entire universe, knowing everything like the back of his hand.
Civilization had reached its most critical moment; he had to take action.
First, he had to eliminate the Moon Palace before he could find time to become a saint.
