Chapter 1833: How Many Hits Can You Take?

How Many Hits Can You Take?

Chengtian Domain.

"Quickly, work more nimbly."

"Today Marquis Qing and Marquis Ji will undergo Divine Path Certification and return to Rank 9 Demigod. Everything must be prepared properly, there can be no mistakes."

Numerous figures busied themselves in a spacious clearing, inserting thick and ferocious black pillars into the earth, connecting them together like a giant birdcage, enveloping the entire clearing within.

"Lord, why prepare these black cages for Divine Path Certification?" a newly arrived figure asked.

"I don't know the specifics either... but the situation of the two Marquises and the Dukes of the State seems somewhat special. Divine Path Certification will draw the punishment of heavenly lightning. If we don't use these lightning rods to disperse the heavenly lightning, even if they Advance to Demigod, they will be injured..."

"Right now, the situation in the Red Dust Bastion is urgent and desperately needs the two Marquises to Advance to Demigod to assist, so we absolutely cannot let the two Marquises get injured. These black cages must be prepared perfectly."

An official inspected carefully and after confirming there were no problems with the black cages, he nodded slightly:

"Yes."

Several guards hurriedly dispersed into the distance.

Just as two of them were preparing to knock on the door to invite Marquis Qing, a crisp shattering sound came from inside the room.

Crash——

"Marquis Qing?"

"What's wrong, Marquis Qing??"

Hearing the sound inside the room, the two guards immediately pushed the door and entered.

They saw a figure draped in a Theatrical Robe sitting blankly on a wooden chair at this moment, still maintaining the posture of drinking tea. However, the teacup had already fallen from his hands, shattering in front of him. His gaze looked at a certain direction in the void, his eyes full of astonishment...

"How could this be..." Marquis Qing muttered to himself. "Someone beat me to the punch and underwent Divine Path Certification?"

"...What??"

The guards froze in place on the spot.

In this era, besides Marquis Qing, who else could complete the certification of the Path of the Actor?

Moreover, this timing... was simply too coincidental. It was actually on the same day as Marquis Qing's Advancement??

Marquis Qing's hands trembled slightly. He seemed to be extremely nervous and uneasy, stumbling to stand up from the chair... Although someone had started Divine Path Certification early now, they might not succeed... As long as the other party failed, then the Demigod Position would still be there, and he would still have a chance!

He ignored the several guards and slowly walked to the door. Just as he was about to step over the threshold, his body shuddered!

He almost planted headfirst onto the ground.

"Marquis Qing!"

"Marquis Qing!!"

The several guards immediately rushed forward and supported the almost collapsed figure.

They could clearly feel that Marquis Qing's entire person was trembling uncontrollably. He stared blankly at a certain spot in the sky, his face ashen...

That Demigod Position of the Path of the Actor had actually truly fallen into someone else's hands.

That person's Divine Path Certification... succeeded.

At this moment, the Chengtian Domain was missing a Duke Qing who should have appeared, and had an extra Marquis Qing who would forever stagnate at Rank 8.

"Your Majesty..." Marquis Qing closed his eyes bitterly and muttered to himself,

"I have disappointed you..."

...

Boom——!!!

An Awakened Lion's paw tore open the edge of the Red Dust Domain and crashed heavily onto the earth of the village!

The aura of a Theater Dao Demigod surged in the air. At this moment, the three Demigod Dukes of the State surrounding Yao Qing were startled simultaneously, turning to look in that direction...

"A Theater Dao Demigod?"

"Is it Duke Qing? He Advanced this fast?"

"No, that's not right..."

Firecrackers and laughter echoed in the void. An almost substantive aura of auspiciousness swept across the village. A massive Awakened Lion burning with seven-colored flames stepped on auspicious clouds, arriving above the three Dukes in an instant!

The two Sun Bumians stomped their feet simultaneously. A seven-colored pillar of fire reaching the heavens, wrapped in an Oppressive Aura that caused one to suffocate, smashed toward the earth!

The originally three-on-one Demigod auras were stirred up again by the suddenly appearing fifth Demigod aura!

Boom——!!!

"It's not our Theater Dao Demigod?" The Duke of Stars spoke in surprise.

"Did someone else beat him to the punch and snatch the Demigod Position... Truly useless." Wang Jian's expression was incomparably ugly. Holding the ancient saber, his Killing Intent spread crazily,

"You two go suppress this Path of the Arts and Su Zhiwei. This General will personally deal with this Path of the Actor."

As his words fell, Wang Jian's ancient saber ignited with raging flames of Killing Intent. His figure charged toward that massive Awakened Lion at top speed!

The Duke of Stars and the red-clothed Young Girl, Duke Su, turned simultaneously to look at Yao Qing...

Yao Qing's bloodstained body had already taken advantage of the moment Sun Bumian disrupted the situation just now to return to the front of the courtyard where Su Zhiwei was.

He took a step back, returning behind the threshold.

Those aged eyes just watched the Duke of Stars and Duke Su like this.

"Oh no..." The Duke of Stars saw the current situation at a glance, his heart sinking.

It must be known, Yao Qing had guarded this courtyard for over three hundred years, so he definitely left behind a large number of trump cards as defense. Just now, Wang Jian caught him off guard and slashed him out of the courtyard with one saber, which made him so wretched.

Now that Yao Qing had Advanced to Demigod and retreated to defend the courtyard, it probably wouldn't be such an easy task to break open this place.

Sure enough, in the next second, densely packed Embroidery Threads spread to the surroundings, wrapping the entire courtyard within!

This courtyard had already become Yao Qing's Embroidery Kingdom of All Things!

"Su Zhiwei should be waking up soon." The Duke of Stars turned to look at the red-clothed Young Girl. "Duke Su, don't show mercy anymore... Otherwise, we won't be able to explain to His Majesty."

Duke Su was silent for a long time, but still pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

An Ancient Zither landed lightly in her palms. Following the light plucking of fair fingertips, sharp zither notes tore open the void, instantly tearing several gaps in the Embroidery Kingdom of All Things around the courtyard.

The Duke of Stars narrowed his eyes. The illusory projections of countless mechanism outlines spun rapidly around him, and his figure charged into the Embroidery Kingdom of All Things without hesitation!

Three Demigod auras fought and entangled within the Embroidery Kingdom;

Two Demigod auras collided violently on the firmament.

"A Thespian performing a lion dance, also dares to be so rampant?" Wang Jian looked at that massive Awakened Lion that didn't fear him in the slightest, the Killing Intent in his eyes growing even thicker. With a swing of his saber, a Killing Intent traversing heaven and earth flashed right in front of the Awakened Lion's face.

A trace of disdain flashed through the nested pupils of the Awakened Lion. It just shook its body gently, and seven-colored flames swept out, shredding that saber light of Killing Intent into pieces!

Seeing this scene, even Wang Jian was stunned.

He didn't swing this saber casually. An ordinary Demigod should have found it fundamentally difficult to parry... Yet this Awakened Lion actually neutralized it so easily?

Just what is its background??

Just as Wang Jian was stunned, the massive Awakened Lion took a step onto the void. When it appeared again, it had already arrived above Wang Jian...

A huge Awakened Lion paw was slowly raised. Sun Bumian's leisurely voice entered Wang Jian's ears:

"Are you very tough?"

"With this stomp of mine, two generations of Awakened Lions, thousands of years of accumulation... how many hits can you take?"
