Chapter 433: The Golden Crow Appears

"Haha!"

"Three more have come, even better!"

Bai Qi, having slashed the thundercloud into nothingness, radiated a terrifying aura. Just moments ago, he had charged alone into that sea of thunder and extinguished the opponent's Primordial Spirit.

Having slain another deity, Bai Qi's killing intent increased by another notch.

Naturally, the thunder prison had tempered his physical body, leaving him charred black, looking like an evil god emerged from hell.

Li Mu and the others had also been struck heavily by the lightning descending from the thundercloud, but with the Golden Men guarding them, they had not suffered any injuries.

Lian Po, who had chosen to resist the thunder prison with his physical body just like Bai Qi, also wore an excited expression. His physical body had subtly improved; once he settled his foundation, his strength would inevitably increase by a few points.

How could he not be excited?

However, seeing Bai Qi charge directly into the thundercloud to absorb its power, Lian Po felt quite envious. He had to admire Bai Qi's physical body and his madness.

Whether in war or otherwise, the man was extremely reckless, yet it was precisely this that often brought him bountiful results.

Just like now, he could feel that Bai Qi's body had clearly gained more benefits than his own.

Lightning body-tempering—the lightning within the thundercloud went without saying. Although lightning was primarily destructive, it also contained vitality; the power of the thundercloud was even more immense.

After this experience, Bai Qi's physical body would inevitably improve even further. His strength had already been greater than theirs, and he estimated that after this, Bai Qi's strength would likely reach the peak of the Three Flowers realm.

How could he not be envious?

He had only just barely broken through to the mid-stage of the Three Flowers realm; he had gained a significant boost this time, but he was still far from the late-stage of the Three Flowers realm.

Of course, he only felt envy, not jealousy. After all, like Bai Qi, if things went wrong, one's physical body would collapse.

This was something he dared not attempt.

"Ying Qu, these two are left to you. Li Mu, Lian Po, the three of us will go and intercept those three."

Bai Qi glanced at the two deities who had tried to seize the opportunity to break through but were blocked, then gave the order indifferently.

He held these two deities in even greater contempt. If these two had merged their power into the thunder prison when the previous deity transformed into it, the thunder prison formed by three Three Flowers realm deities would surely have been terrifying.

Even he would definitely not have dared to resist it with his physical body; he would have had to use the Golden Men, and perhaps even the Golden Men would have suffered damage.

Unfortunately, even at this point, the two deities were still thinking of other things; they were truly stubborn until the very end. Having once again extinguished that thunder-god-like deity, it meant these two deities no longer even had the chance to counterattack and drag them down to death.

With just these two deities, the four Imperial Clan elders were enough to suppress them, not to mention they still had the Golden Men.

Hearing Bai Qi's words, Lian Po and Li Mu stood up instantly, following behind him to slaughter the three deities who had rushed over.

The two sides engaged in close-quarters combat. Bai Qi took the lead and killed his way in, simultaneously summoning a Golden Man. Lian Po and Li Mu did the same, summoning Golden Men to seal off the three deities.

"Not good!"

These three deities reacted quickly, turning directly to try and transform into rainbows to escape. However, several Golden Men unleashed their divine power to suppress space, sealing off the deities' path of retreat.

It was too late for them to escape.

The battlefield was split into two, but the deities were being picked off one by one. Great Qin was extremely well-prepared and did not give the deities much chance to counterattack.

Whether it was Li Mu or the four Imperial Clan elders, their cultivation was lower, but they could borrow the power of the Golden Men. Therefore, even if these deities launched a desperate final counterattack or self-destructed, it was difficult for them to cause much damage.

On the other side, in the underground palace, the High Priest gazed at the golden flames in the palace; the human figure within the flames had gradually dissipated.

Replacing it was a three-legged fire bird with golden fiery feathers—that was the true form of the Divine Emperor he had always followed.

"Lord Divine Emperor."

The High Priest became increasingly excited. The appearance of the Golden Crow divine body before his eyes meant that his Lord Divine Emperor was about to awaken.

"Who would have thought that Lord Divine Emperor would actually choose a human as his reincarnation?"

The High Priest sighed inwardly, but at this moment, it was the most critical juncture for Lord Divine Emperor. He would absolutely not allow anyone to disturb him, and he looked around with sharp eyes.

He quickly waved the scepter in his hand and set up layers of forbidden techniques throughout the palace, all to prevent any unexpected accidents.

In the palace, the Golden Crow was still undergoing mutation. The High Priest could feel that familiar aura constantly increasing.

Boom!

Just then, on one side of the palace, the air in mid-air seemed to be sliced open, appearing as a rift about one-tenth the size of the palace gate.

The moment this rift appeared, several figures emerged from within.

Seeing these figures, the High Priest's expression sank. These people were none other than Qingniao and the others, who had previously triggered the array restrictions in the palace and been trapped in the array space.

However, Qingniao and the others were also extremely powerful deities. By joining forces, they had finally broken that great array and escaped from within.

"Damn it! The statue is gone."

The moment Qingniao and the others appeared, they searched for the previous statue, only to find it had vanished, and their expressions changed instantly.

Then, looking at the three-legged Golden Crow in the flames, their expressions turned even more wild.

"Three-legged Golden Crow."

"Lord Divine Emperor?"

Qingniao's tone carried a hint of surprise and joy. The statue had disappeared, which meant Lord Divine Emperor's inheritance had also vanished. Naturally, he felt very disappointed; after all, that meant a chance to glimpse the Unity of Heaven and Man.

It had suddenly disappeared, so he naturally felt a sense of loss, but seeing this three-legged Golden Crow, he also felt a hint of joy.

The three-legged Golden Crow was the Emperor of the Demon race, the supreme being of the Demon race.

He didn't care whether this three-legged Golden Crow before him was the previous Divine Emperor; what he cared about was whether the opponent could reach the level of the Divine Emperor of that year.

If so, a rising tide lifts all boats; his status within the Divine Court would inevitably increase greatly.

After all, in the ancient era, when Lord Divine Emperor ruled the Divine Court, their Demon race was the most powerful, capable of suppressing those innate deities for a time.

Making those arrogant innate deities bow their proud heads.

Ever since Lord Divine Emperor disappeared, the Demon race's situation in the Divine Court had become increasingly dire, constantly suppressed by those innate deities.

Over these years, if not for the High Priest helping in secret, the Demon God lineage would likely have been even more miserable.

The internal struggles within the Divine Court were also extremely bloody, and life-and-death battles had occurred between them.

Many powerful members of their Demon God lineage had died at the hands of innate deities; there was quite a bit of blood feud between them.

But the innate deities were powerful, and their Demon God lineage could not resist at all, so they could only endure.

Now, if Lord Divine Emperor returned, perhaps their Demon God lineage could return to its peak. ===== CHAPTER 434 =====
