Chapter 468: Friend Ming He Retreats, the Great War Concludes

Kun Peng was dead, but the other battlefield had not yet subsided.

The sea of blood crossed the sky, Ancestor Friend Ming He sitting on the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the Yuantu and Abi swords circling his body, waves of blood slapping toward the starlight and the yellow light of the Earth Book.

Originally, he had been at ease, even having the leisure to watch the excitement on Kun Peng's side.

But when Kun Peng's Primordial Spirit was sliced into fragments by the Taiyin Divine Wheel, destroyed in body and spirit, the eyelids of this Master of the Sea of Blood twitched.

This old bird Kun Peng, who had promised to kill Su Chen quickly, ended up sending himself to his death.

Friend Ming He glanced at Bai Ze, glanced at Chang Xi, and then glanced at Su Chen, who could still drive the Chaos Bell.

If these three were to free up their hands, plus Doumu Yuanjun and Zhen Yuanzi...

Even he, who was said to be immortal as long as the sea of blood did not dry up, could not take it.

"Friend Ming He."

Doumu Yuanjun shook her star banner, the power of the Zhou Tian stars turning into ten thousand star chains, crossing the long sky.

There was not a shred of politeness between her brows, starlight descending from beyond the heavens, as if wanting to nail the entire river of blood to death outside the Flaming Mountain.

"Do you want to be buried with Kun Peng?"

Zhen Yuanzi also stepped forward, the Earth Book unfurling, the mountains, rivers, and earth floating and sinking within the pages, the power of the earth veins closing in from all directions, pressing the sea of blood to shrink continuously.

Ancestor Friend Ming He laughed dryly.

"This poor Daoist and Kun Peng just happened to meet on the road and chatted for a few sentences. Don't go pinning labels on me; this ancestor is the most reasonable."

Su Chen wanted to laugh upon hearing this, raising his head to look at Friend Ming He.

Friend Ming He also glanced at him.

The two looked at each other across the sky full of blood rain.

Friend Ming He cursed in his heart: This kid is truly evil.

He had seen geniuses, he had seen monsters, but a Mid-Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal who could trick an old schemer like Kun Peng to his death was one of a kind in the Three Realms.

Although it wasn't Su Chen alone who killed Kun Peng, this killing trap had, after all, been laid by Su Chen.

Kun Peng had thought he was fishing, but he hadn't caught any fish and instead ended up trapping himself.

Now that Kun Peng was dead, the alliance between the two naturally did not count.

Doumu Yuanjun saw through his intent to retreat, and her star banner pressed down suddenly.

"Zhou Tian Star Dou, fall!"

The stars beyond the heavens chimed in unison, ten thousand paths of starlight converging into a killing star pillar, heading straight for the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Ancestor Friend Ming He let out a strange cry: "Doumu, are you playing for real?"

The Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus rose, the lotus petals unfolding layer by layer, the karmic fire turning into a red lotus canopy, forcibly receiving the strike of the Zhou Tian stars.

The star pillar fell, a bottomless hole punched into the sea of blood, waves of blood rolling to both sides.

After Friend Ming He received Doumu Yuanjun's strike, his body suddenly dispersed, his entire person collapsing into boundless blood water, rushing into a void rift with a splash.

Zhen Yuanzi's horsetail whisk fell, wanting to block a patch of void with the Earth Book's mountains and rivers.

But that blood water divided into millions of strands, drilling into the void and disappearing without a trace.

Doumu Yuanjun shook her star banner again, the star chains chasing into the depths of the void, only shredding a portion of the blood water.

Ancestor Friend Ming He's voice drifted from within the void.

"Today's events were truly a misunderstanding! Everyone, let us part ways here!"

After the sea of blood retreated, the Flaming Mountain finally quieted down.

On the firmament, starlight, moonlight, and the yellow light of the earth veins intertwined, illuminating the scarred Flaming Mountain brightly.

The Bull Niu Mowang flew back with Red Boy, the Lion Shi Tuo Wang and the Flood Dragon Niu Mowang guarding the flanks.

The Bull Niu Mowang looked at Su Chen, his bull nose puffing two white breaths.

"Brother, this time Old Bull owes you too much."

Su Chen waved his hand: "This matter started because of me; you all were just caught in an unprovoked disaster."

Red Boy looked at Su Chen on the Bull Niu Mowang's back, his eyes shining: "Uncle, that divine ability of yours is so powerful, can you teach me?"

The Lion Shi Tuo Wang heard this and gave him a flick on the head.

Red Boy glared at him, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Everyone laughed heartily, the tense strings finally loosening a bit.

Bai Ze walked to the place where Kun Peng had fallen; only a few remnants remained there.

The North Sea Sword hung in mid-air, the Dao patterns on the sword body flickering; without its master, this sword was now an ownerless object.

Bai Ze reached out and beckoned, the Mountain and River Map pressing down, the North Sea Sword struggling for a moment before finally falling into his palm.

"This sword, this old man will take back to Demon Emperor Island."

Su Chen nodded.

On the other side, the Innate Mysterious Water Bead flew out, wanting to escape.

Su Chen reached out and grabbed it, his chaotic blood and Qi vibrating, suppressing the bead in his palm.

Mysterious water flowed within the bead, the sound of North Sea cold tides faintly audible.

Su Chen took a look, turned around, and handed it to Chang Xi.

"Let this object be for the Empress."

Chang Xi did not stand on ceremony for long, reaching out to take it.

"Many thanks."

Su Chen looked toward the depths of the void, his eyes full of regret.

"A pity about the Demon Master Palace."

That was a supreme innate spiritual treasure.

Kun Peng had severed his origin connection with the Demon Master Palace before he died, throwing it into the void turbulence; now its whereabouts were unknown.

Bai Ze put away the North Sea Sword, attempting to deduce its location, but unfortunately gained nothing.

Bai Ze sighed.

"If a supreme innate spiritual treasure has spirit, it hides itself; even a Saint would find it hard to locate. Since it does not wish to appear in the world, we can only wait for those with affinity."

The Lion Shi Tuo Wang's eyes lit up: "Those with affinity? I think I have quite a bit of affinity."

Red Boy laughed on the Bull Niu Mowang's back: "Fourth Uncle, I think even if you were the only person left in the Three Realms, that treasure wouldn't choose you."

The Lion Shi Tuo Wang was angry: "You little brat, just rescued and already itching for a beating?"

As the two bickered, Zhen Yuanzi drove the Earth Book, communicating with the earth, and the damaged earth veins around the Flaming Mountain slowly calmed down.

After calming the wounds of the earth, Zhen Yuanzi turned to look at Su Chen.

"The feud of Red Cloud is settled today."

"This poor Daoist will cultivate in seclusion at Wuzhuang Temple from now on and will no longer interfere in the disputes of the Three Realms. Su Chen, this poor Daoist owes you a favor today. If you have any requests in the future, you may come to Wuzhuang Temple to find me."

Su Chen bowed: "Senior speaks too seriously."

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head: "Karma is karma; you need not be polite."

Having said that, he put away the Earth Book, yellow light spreading beneath his feet, and turned to head toward Mount Wanshou.

Doumu Yuanjun also put away her star banner.

She glanced at Su Chen, then looked at Bai Ze and Chang Xi.

"After this battle, I fear you have completely entered the Jade Emperor's eyes on the Heavenly Court's side; you must be more careful in the future."

Su Chen nodded: "Many thanks for the reminder, Yuanjun."

Doumu Yuanjun nodded and said no more, starlight rolling up, and the gods of the Dou Department returned to the Heavenly Court with her.

Chang Xi held the Innate Mysterious Water Bead, the Taiyin Divine Wheel hanging behind her.

She looked at Bai Ze, nodded slightly, and then looked at Su Chen.

"Kun Peng is dead, my obsession has dissipated, and I am returning to the Taiyin star to cultivate in seclusion."

Su Chen bowed: "Take care, Star Lord."

Chang Xi turned into moonlight and ascended into the sky, heading straight for the Taiyin star.

Bai Ze put away the Mountain and River Map, his expression returning to its usual gentleness.

"On Demon Emperor Island, His Majesty the Demon Emperor is stabilizing his Semi-Sage realm, and I must return to see; external matters will be left to you for the time being."

Su Chen nodded: "Rest assured, Senior."

Bai Ze patted his shoulder, then turned into white light and fled toward the North Sea.

The great powers left one by one; in the Flaming Mountain, only Su Chen, the Bull Niu Mowang, and the others remained. ===== CHAPTER 469 =====
