Chapter 634: What was meant to come still came—the first battle of the Lord of the Great Wasteland

Thinking of this, even though the two knew their situation was dangerous, they gritted their teeth, stood up, and exerted all their strength.

We absolutely cannot let them snatch away this final strike!

No sooner said than done, the torchlight shooting down from the sky instantly pierced the strange light shield on the giant spider's body, stabbing from the top of its head straight through to the bottom.

With a loud crack, a huge hole was blasted through the top of the giant spider, and blood kept spraying out.

Only hearing it let out a mournful cry, its eight huge claws struggled and flailed a few times on the spot, then it collapsed heavily to the ground, twitched a few times, and then completely died.

Soon after, its massive body turned to ashes and vanished from the spot……

The points also smoothly fell into Huang Tianhou's hands.

Hehe……

Hearing the voice of Duobao Daoren from above, Huang Tianhou smiled satisfactorily.

It seems that with these points, I am far ahead and have become first place.

Next, she only needs to wait for the competition to end. Based on her current point ranking, she will surely advance smoothly.

You are so despicable!

Hei Di and Chu Di glared fiercely, their faces fierce, staring hard at the floating Huang Tianhou in midair.

You actually want to reap the benefits without effort—this is clearly something we discovered!

Hehe…… Huang Tianhou smirked disdainfully, "You didn't even think—if it weren't for my intervention, you three might have already been torn apart by this ferocious beast. So you should be thanking me; how dare you still be angry?"

Huang Tianhou was right—if it weren't for the three of them acting in time to kill the giant spider, Hei Di, Chu Di, and the Lord of the Great Wasteland might not have been able to resolve it.

After all, they had been suppressed by the giant spider from the start, with no chance to find a way to break its shield.

But Huang Tianhou was different; they had remained hidden in the dark, observing carefully for a long time before deciding to act, which necessarily meant they had considerable confidence.

In that case, their appearance this time was merely for the points of this ferocious beast.

You really are a bastard!

The Lord of the Great Wasteland clutched his chest and slowly crawled up from the ground.

That blow just now indeed shocked him greatly; he never expected that in the myriad heavens and worlds, there would still be hiding such a formidable opponent!

He had actually overlooked this point during the previous competition……

And these strong individuals from the Chilian World also completely exceeded his expectations.

Tianhou, should we take them out?

The Left Envoy beside Huang Tianhou asked coldly.

Their gaze had always been fixed on the Lord of the Great Wasteland and Hei Di, as these two posed the greatest threat.

If they really were to act, they would hesitate not at all to first attack the Lord of the Great Wasteland, then deal with Hei Di.

However, Huang Tianhou shook her head.

No need; since we have already obtained the points, it's better to do less than more, and leave early.

But Tianhou, these people……

The Left Envoy still said somewhat unwillingly, after all, if we don't eradicate the root, accidents may easily occur later.

But Huang Tianhou's idea is simple: "Since they now have no combat strength, there's no need to further trouble them."

Anyway, she has already obtained what she wants; next she only needs to remain hidden. If necessary, they will strike again to seize others' points.

If not necessary, then just wait quietly for the competition to end; they will surely win and successfully advance!

The ever-competitive Hei Di, provoked by Huang Tianhou in this way, could not bear it in his heart; he roared, leapt up, and flung a palm wind toward midair.

Boom!

A dazzling, blinding burst of light suddenly erupted from his palm, shooting straight toward the three of Huang Tianhou.

However, how could they just stand there and let themselves be attacked? At the instant the attack was about to hit, the three figures vanished into thin air, leaving no trace in that area.

Bastard! If you've got the guts, don't run—come out and keep fighting! I, one, will take on you three! Hei Di roared angrily at the sky.

But only his own echo replied, with nothing else.

Forget it, forget it…… they've already left; shouting more is useless. The Lord of the Great Wasteland relaxed his breath and slumped onto the ground.

He had always thought his team was top-notch in the myriad heavens and worlds, whether in combat strength or wit, no one could match them.

However, now he has been defeated by a woman, and his points have been snatched away.

If this gets out, the world of flawless heavens and earth would become a laughingstock, wouldn't it?

Although he was unwilling in his heart, he could not show it.

Faced with the fury of Hei Di and Chu Di, he must remain calm, not mixing in any personal feelings.

Old Wasteland, you're just going to watch that guy snatch away the points? We're doing nothing? Isn't that letting others look down on us? Hei Di cursed.

They could see success just ahead; as long as they killed the giant spider, their future path might become much smoother.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

That Huang Tianhou had been hiding in the dark, watching the battle; when both sides were exhausted, she suddenly struck out, using that powerful attack spell, and with one blow killed the giant spider!

This is truly shocking.

Outside the Chaos World, the scene of Huang Tianhou slaying the giant spider caused an uproar throughout the venue.

Even the Three Xia Sisters, who had kept their eyes closed and dared not look, were now filled with astonishment.

Was it really Huang Tianhou who just killed the giant spider?

This is just too absurd!

But upon careful thought, what absurd thing hasn't happened in this world?

Duobao Daoren said calmly: "Now, Huang Tianhou of the Chilian World has already taken first place on the rankings, with points reaching four hundred!"

This group excels in every aspect!

After all, the ferocious beast transformed from disciples of the Sect of the Cutting has diverse attack methods and unpredictable, elusive techniques.

It leaves people unable to defend against it.

Such terrifying power, in the myriad heavens and worlds, is an existence like a god. Yet such a ferocious demon beast was directly slain by a single Heaven's Fall strike from Huang Tianhou!

He died in such a pathetic way, with no sense of mission or honor at all.

This is also why Duobao Daoist found the second round of the competition exciting.

"It's a pity; if Huang Tianhou were to become first, I believe many powerhouses of the myriad heavens would not be convinced……"

Thinking of this, Duobao Daoist's eyes flashed with a faint glimmer, and he whispered to the person beside him.

After all, someone who wins by resorting to petty tricks will never earn others' respect.

This is unavoidable; the rules never said one cannot hide within a folded space, nor that one cannot launch sneak attacks or use underhanded tactics.

Therefore, this truly tests whether the myriad heavens' powerhouses possess the ability to remain calm in crisis and the strength to survive in this perilous world.

……

"Really unlucky! The first ferocious beast I encountered was actually snatched away by that woman!"

On Spine Ground, Hei Di sat on the ground with a dissatisfied face, muttering.

Beside him, Chu Di, although also fuming, was not as agitated as Hei Di, merely feeling somewhat self-reproachful.

He blamed himself, thinking that if he had exerted a bit more effort back then, or noticed someone tailing him earlier, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

Now the three of them have labored in vain, fighting desperately against the giant spider, only to end up making someone else's wedding dress—no one would accept that!

"Old Huang, say something! At a time like this, why do you remain silent?"

Hei Di lifted his gaze toward the Lord of the Great Wilderness. From the end of the battle until now, the Lord of the Great Wilderness has sat silently in a corner, showing no expression.

After Huang Tianhou and her three companions left, he still kept a blank face, making it impossible to tell whether he was angry or not.

"What do you want me to say?"

The Lord of the Great Wilderness lowered his head, staring at the yellow sand at his feet, and asked coldly.

"Well… sigh! I don't even know what to say; anyway, I'm just pissed off! If that damned woman ever lets me run into her again, I'll make her regret it!"

Hei Di slammed a fist into the sand, blasting out a large pit.

But this was futile, merely venting his anger on something insignificant.

"We've put in so much effort for nothing; what's the point of continuing like this? We might as well act like Huang Tianhou—seize the opportunity and go steal others' points."

Chu Di suddenly said.

These words caused the Lord of the Great Wilderness to snap his head up, a hint of killing intent flashing in his deep eyes.

"What did you say?"

!

Hei Di beside them also found it hard to believe those words came from Chu Di's mouth.

"Well…" Seeing the two men before him looking fierce, Chu Di grew flustered, quickly waving his hands and saying, "I, I was just joking… Look, those three in the Chilian World have done nothing at all, merely pulling sneaky tricks behind the scenes; they're probably already ranked first on the points leaderboard. If they never show up again, they'll surely advance. As for the others, they have strength but no brains, again and again being toyed with by people like Huang Tianhou…"

"So, I was wondering whether we should also learn from them…"

Chu Di spoke cautiously, fearing that any word he uttered might provoke the displeasure of the Lord of the Great Wilderness and Hei Di.

"You jerk, what kind of nonsense do you have in your head?!"

Hei Di glared at him and then snapped, "What status do we have? With our strength, are we supposed to resort to sneaky cheating and fraud…"

"I think Chu Di makes sense."

The Lord of the Great Wilderness's words directly interrupted Hei Di's righteous declaration.

"What?"

Hei Di turned his head in surprise, looking toward the Lord of the Great Wilderness.

"Old Huang, you… you couldn't have also gone crazy like Old Chu, could you?"

Hei Di slapped his forehead, his face full of helplessness.

"What I mean is, if Huang Tianhou and his lot keep using these methods to snatch points, then we should just use the same methods against them."

"Wait, Old Huang, you mean… only deal with Huang Tianhou and his group?"

"Hmm…" The Lord of the Great Wilderness nodded.

"I was just thinking that the reason they're so arrogant is because they possess a Divine Ability technique that lets them conceal themselves within space, hiding their aura and presence, so others can't detect them… And precisely because of that, they can brazenly steal others' points…"

The Lord of the Great Wilderness said this, rose to his feet, and an aura of dominance emanated from him.

"I despise such petty people; if they act unkindly first, don't blame us for responding unjustly!"

Seeing the Lord of the Great Wilderness so mighty, Hei Di's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Wow, Old Huang, this is the first time I've heard you speak like this…"

"Then it's settled—let's go find Huang Tianhou to settle the score and make her cough up all the points she stole!"

The rules clearly state that when a point‑holder is killed, the points transfer to the attacker.

"I've heard that Huang Tianhou's left and right aides, those two little lackeys, also have points; if we each take one on, wouldn't that work?!"

The three of them agreed at once, and the matter was settled.

However, after the excitement passed, a problem arose.

"Well… that's how we said it, but how are we supposed to find them?"

Chu Di looked at the two, then asked the question awkwardly.

Indeed, they currently have no idea where Huang Tianhou and his three companions are!

"Exactly, the enemy lurks in the dark while we're in the light—this is totally unfair; how could we possibly find them?" Hei Di scratched his head, also at a loss.

Those few are now hiding in a folded space; unless we can use the same method to draw them out, there's no way to find them.

Moreover, this world is boundless; if they truly wish to remain hidden, without releasing any spiritual power or techniques, no one will ever know their whereabouts.

Put simply, as long as the other side stays hidden, the Lord of the Great Wilderness and his companions' earlier decision is just empty talk!

"Damn! All that effort for nothing again?"

Hei Di stamped his foot and cursed.

"Don't rush." The Lord of the Great Wilderness was quite calm, standing in place, frowning in thought.

His expression left Hei Di full of doubt.

"Hey hey hey, Lao Huang, don't tell me you know how to shuttle through the river of time to find those people, do you?"

If that's really the case, then that's amazing!

"Heh..." The Lord of the Great Wilderness gave a slight smile and slowly said, "I don't understand those, but I understand people's hearts."

"Huh? Lao Huang, speak clearly, don't keep us in suspense!"

"Those who are greedy will ultimately lose because of their greed... Since the Huang Tianhou have from the start liked using this method to snatch points and seize victory, I believe they will definitely strike again, and they will certainly not give up easily."

"Are you that sure?"

Chu Di also asked from the side.

This is obviously a gamble.

It's been a long time since the second match ended, yet the three of them still have gained nothing.

Never mind the points; even the only fierce beast they encountered was taken by someone else.

Where would they have so much time to consider other matters?

"Tsk, I think this decision is still a bit rash; it'd be better to proceed steadily and go after other fierce beasts—at least we could earn some points, otherwise we'd be embarrassed if we got eliminated."

Hei Di certainly didn't want to become the first person eliminated from the Wuqe Tiandi.

Although he didn't know where Duan Di and Wuzhong Dadi were, given their strength, they would surely survive.

"If you think this is good, then go ahead and act on your own—I won't stop you... but I will definitely take back with my own hands whatever the Huang Tianhou have snatched away."

The Lord of the Great Wilderness spoke domineeringly, then turned and walked forward.

"Hey wait! You, where are you going?"

"Go look for where the Huang Tianhou might appear."

"Where they might appear?"

Hei Di scratched his head, unable to figure out what that meant.

"Could it be that those guys would go somewhere and even write it on their faces?"

Before he could figure it out, the Lord of the Great Wilderness had already walked away.

"What should we do, Lao Hei? Should we follow him?"

Chu Di looked at Hei Di and asked in a low voice.

They now felt as if abandoned by their boss, filled with a sense of defeat. (End of chapter)
