Chapter 419: Disaster

The human face in the sky was blasted into smithereens and began to slowly dissipate. The pair of eyes formed by the sun and moon suddenly flashed with divine light the moment before they vanished, flickering with a glimmer of wisdom as they looked at Meng Yifan with interest.

This gaze was very gentle, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze, with no intent of coercion, yet it made Meng Yifan's hair stand on end and his whole body turn cold, as if he were unclothed and his entire being, inside and out, had been seen through by another.

"Could this be the gaze of the Creator of the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World?" Meng Yifan was shocked. He had not expected that blasting apart the face in the sky would actually awaken the Creator. Had he known, he would have honestly stayed down below and endured the lightning strikes.

"Little friend, grow up quickly. A disaster is about to descend, and we can barely hold it back anymore," the Creator of the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World murmured softly, then dissipated between Heaven and Earth.

Hearing this, Meng Yifan was stunned; he did not know what disaster the Creator was speaking of.

Compared to Meng Yifan's Nine Systems World, the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World was extremely powerful. It was a true Great Thousand World, capable of allowing living beings to naturally multiply and thrive within it, generation after generation.

Meng Yifan had inherited He Dongliu's Five Elements World, a world created by an Eighth Grade Peak expert. Although it was dilapidated, the overall framework remained. Based on this, he inferred that the world of a Nine-Rank Expert could not possibly be as complete as the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World.

Meng Yifan speculated that the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World was very likely a world created by an Ancient God Realm expert who had surpassed the Ninth Grade; such an existence was unimaginably powerful.

Yet now, that Ancient God Realm expert had actually said a disaster was about to descend, one that even they could not hold back. Moreover, the Creator had said "we," meaning that in some unknown place, a group of Ancient God Realm experts working together could not stop it—what kind of disaster would that be?

There was no answer to this question, but it made Meng Yifan feel a massive crisis.

"No matter what, I must raise my strength as quickly as possible. Otherwise, when the true disaster descends, a Sixth Grade cultivator like me might not even have the power to resist." Meng Yifan's gaze was firm; no matter what the disaster ahead was, he would not sit idly by and wait for death.

"The two fellow Daoists have been watching from the sidelines for so long, why not come out and meet?" Meng Yifan smiled. The reason he had blasted the Heavenly Tribulation just now was because he had sensed two Sixth Grade Peak experts nearby.

After these two fellows arrived, they hid in the shadows to spy, which made Meng Yifan feel like he had thorns on his back. He worried that those two experts were planning to ambush him while his body was weak after the tribulation, so he revealed his Nine Elements Fusion Divine Ability to intimidate the powerful enemies.

In the previously empty void, the space rippled, and Zhou Rentong and the Old Dragon King walked out from within.

"Sixth Grade experts are not allowed to participate in the war. Why did you kill the Fifth Grade Demon Cultivators of Dongzhou?" The Old Dragon King looked at Hu Mei'er, Lang Batian, and Lang Badi in the distance and already understood; those dead Fifth Grade Demon Cultivators must have been finished off by Meng Yifan. This made him furious, and if not for his fear of Meng Yifan's final Nine Elements Fusion energy, he would have already launched an attack.

"Sixth Grade experts cannot participate in the war? I really didn't know there was such a rule," Meng Yifan said. This Old Dragon King was very strong, but Meng Yifan was not without the power to resist. The Five Elements World left behind by He Dongliu was too powerful, making Meng Yifan stronger than cultivators of the same level. Although his cultivation was Sixth Grade High, his true combat power was comparable to a Sixth Grade Peak.

If the Old Dragon King dared to attack, Meng Yifan would fight him; who would win and who would lose was not yet certain.

However, if that human Sixth Grade Peak expert nearby joined forces with the Old Dragon King to besiege Meng Yifan, Meng Yifan would not be able to stop them and could only flee in a panic.

The Old Dragon King looked at Zhou Rentong and said, "National Teacher Zhou, according to the agreement, if a Sixth Grade expert takes action, other Sixth Grade experts have the obligation to join forces to eliminate the Sixth Grade expert who broke the rules. Let us strike and destroy this brat to avenge the Immortal Cultivators and Demon Cultivators who died in Dongzhou."

"Haha, Old Dragon King, no need to be angry. One who does not know is not guilty. You and I both saw that Fellow Daoist Meng just passed the Sixth-Grade Heavenly Tribulation; at the very least, he can be considered a Fifth Grade Peak at most, so it doesn't count as breaking the rules."

Zhou Rentong did not intend to take action because Meng Yifan was human. If he could win him over, the two of them, both Sixth Grade experts, joining forces would stabilize the precarious situation of the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty.

As for the Fifth Grade Immortal Cultivators like Yin Jiuji who had died, let them be dead. One Sixth Grade expert played a greater role than ten Fifth Grade Immortal Cultivators.

Furthermore, Meng Yifan was not a newly broken-through Sixth Grade Initial, but a Sixth Grade High, with true strength comparable to a Sixth Grade Peak. For such an expert, as long as he agreed to join the Astrological Bureau, Zhou Rentong was willing to let go of the hatred and even planned to introduce him to his sect; perhaps, in the future, the two of them would be fellow disciples.

"National Teacher Zhou, you are speaking nonsense with your eyes open. He is already a Sixth Grade High cultivator now; how could he be a Fifth Grade Peak when he killed the Fifth Grade Demon Cultivators?" The Old Dragon King was so angry his nose was crooked. He could see that Zhou Rentong wanted to win over Meng Yifan. If Meng Yifan joined the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty camp, their power would surely increase greatly, which was very disadvantageous to the Demon Race.

"Old Dragon King, you all saw it. Fellow Daoist Meng just passed the Sixth-Grade Heavenly Tribulation, which shows that in this world, he indeed just advanced to the Sixth Grade. As for what fortune he had in other Secret Realm Worlds, that is not within the scope of our agreed restrictions," Zhou Rentong smiled. If it came to a war of words, the Demon Race was truly no match for humans.

The Old Dragon King saw that Zhou Rentong was determined to support Meng Yifan. Both of these fellows were very powerful, and if they joined forces against him, he would not be able to handle it.

"Fine, this old man will no longer pursue the matter of Meng Yifan eliminating the Fifth Grade Demon Cultivators. However, he must release Hu Mei'er, Lang Batian, and Lang Badi, otherwise, this old man would rather fight and risk a mutual destruction," the Old Dragon King said through gritted teeth.

Zhou Rentong looked at Meng Yifan and said, "Fellow Daoist Meng, do you intend to release those three Fifth Grade Demon Cultivators?"

Meng Yifan shook his head and said, "No."

What a joke. After Hu Mei'er entered the Spirit Power Secret Realm World, she was already close to breaking through to the Sixth Grade. Such an expert was Meng Yifan's Soul Servant; after breaking through, Hu Mei'er would be his right-hand assistant.

How could Meng Yifan release her just because of a word from the Old Dragon King? Let alone Hu Mei'er, even Lang Batian and Lang Badi were capable subordinates under Meng Yifan's command. These were servants controlled by the Soul Imprint he had split off; no matter what, he would not give them up.

"Too bullying!" The Old Dragon King was furious and prepared to strike.

However, Zhou Rentong's body flickered, blocking the path in front of the Old Dragon King, and he shouted, "Old Dragon King, think clearly. Do you really want to do this?"

The Old Dragon King's expression was ugly. Zhou Rentong's meaning was already very clear: if the Old Dragon King wanted to attack, he would help Meng Yifan.
