Chapter 436: Dilemma

In a dilemma, Hebo and the others could only bite the bullet and continue fighting. If they succeeded, that would be fine.

Once they failed, for them, the future would be very dire.

The two sides fought fiercely, but they did not notice that another wave of people had arrived at the underground palace.

Rumble!

Hebo and the others crazily attacked the giant tree transformed by the High Priest. They had been able to break the previous branches, and now that the other party's true form was revealed, they could still do it.

After the four deities made up their minds, they stopped caring about anything else.

In the spacious palace, terrifying divine power raged everywhere.

This made the High Priest increasingly difficult. To protect the three-legged Golden Crow, he could only defend passively, relying on his powerful true form to physically resist the attacks of the four deities. This way, he was able to protect the three-legged Golden Crow.

But the attacks of the four deities were not so easy to resist.

In a short while, his true form became tattered and broken. If not for his powerful cultivation, he likely would not have been able to hold on.

"Hehe! High Priest, you are truly great. For him, you are actually willing to pay with your own life. I wonder if he will still remember you after he awakens."

Watching the High Priest still insisting on resisting their attacks, Hebo became increasingly anxious, so he began to speak, wanting to use words to strike at the other party.

But who was the High Priest? He instantly understood the other party's intention and ignored him directly.

He still persisted.

As a result, the two sides reached a brief stalemate.

"Qingniao, you still won't take action? By now, do you think you can escape?"

"Don't forget, if that Golden Crow is truly that person, with his overbearing nature, can you survive?"

"You have intruded into his palace; do you think he will let you go?"

Seeing that the High Priest's will could not be shaken, Hebo instantly turned to Qingniao, who was watching the show on the side.

How could he not know what Qingniao was planning?

"Now the High Priest is powerless. As long as you join in, you will inevitably be able to kill him. At that time, we can split the Golden Crow origin equally."

Hebo's words made Qingniao somewhat tempted.

His two-faced behavior could not be covered up no matter what. If the High Priest died, perhaps there would still be a chance to cover it up, but the High Priest was not dead, and once that person awakened, he would inevitably know. Even if he didn't kill him in the future, his days would definitely not be easy.

And if he took action to kill the High Priest and that Golden Crow, then his two-faced behavior wouldn't matter; no one would pursue it, and Hebo and the others wouldn't either.

After all, their strength was not much different.

More importantly, the Golden Crow's origin tempted him. He was originally a bird of the Demon race, and the Golden Crow was the Emperor of the bird category; its origin was far stronger than his. If he could devour the Golden Crow's origin, perhaps he could evolve again, and his foundation might have a breakthrough.

"Qingniao! Have you forgotten your identity?"

Hebo's words also made the High Priest's heart sink. He was already having trouble resisting, and if Qingniao joined in, it was very likely that he would not be able to hold on before Lord Divine Emperor awakened.

Thus, he roared fiercely: "You are of the Demon race, they are innate deities. Do you think you can compete with them? Don't let it be that you are the first to die."

The High Priest was also cunning and instantly found the flaw, pointing out the discord between the few.

Hearing this, Qingniao was also startled. He had indeed not thought of this point just now. It was true that he was of the Demon race, and he was not on the same side as Hebo and the others.

The Demon race was already very weak. If not for the High Priest helping in secret all these years, they would have long been suppressed by those deities.

If the High Priest and this three-legged Golden Crow were both destroyed, Hebo and these people would likely turn to deal with him first.

Even if Hebo and the others were also discordant internally, the possibility of him becoming the target was greater.

Thinking of this, he stopped his steps again.

Qingniao's performance made both sides feel contemptuous. Two-faced and hesitant in doing things, he couldn't accomplish anything big.

However, the High Priest also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It was just like this; if he could keep Qingniao from taking action in secret, then he still had a chance.

After merging the Qingmu Scepter into his true form, his true form instantly recovered slightly.

This Qingmu Scepter itself was the true form of a divine tree that had reached the peak of the Five Qi realm, refined by him. After being nurtured by him for over ten thousand years, it could be said to be an extraordinary treasure.

But at the moment, he couldn't care about anything else. Merging it into his body first allowed his true form to absorb the Jia Wood essence and recover part of his injuries.

Being able to delay for a period of time was also good.

As long as he waited for Lord Divine Emperor to awaken, everything would be worth it.

"Haha! Satisfying!"

When Bai Qi pulled his long spear out of the divine body of the last deity, the bloodthirsty smile on his face became increasingly brilliant.

"After this battle, the number of Three Flowers realm experts in the Divine Court has lost at least a quarter, if not more."

Li Mu also revealed a few smiles on his face. Although he didn't have much affection for Great Qin, as a human, he knew very well that only if Great Qin was strong could they destroy the Divine Court.

The Divine Court had always been the greatest enemy of their human race.

The Divine Court had always been eyeing the human race covetously, even wanting to replace them, to turn hundreds of millions of humans into their slaves, to be enslaved by them.

He would not allow this no matter what.

Coordinating with Great Qin to kill these deities was definitely a not insignificant blow to the Divine Court.

"Lord Wu'an, it seems this weapon is also about to advance."

The four Imperial Clan elders also quickly came up. Although everyone had suffered some injuries to varying degrees, it was nothing serious. The final counterattacks and even self-destructions of those Divine Court deities had all been blocked by the Golden Men.

The Golden Men could be damaged, but they could be placed in Lishan to be nurtured for a period of time, and they would recover.

Therefore, they had suffered no personnel losses in killing these deities, which was absolutely a great fortune. Of course, this was also because they had made a completely thorough plan beforehand.

Inviting them into the trap, inviting so many at once, was also a good thing.

So, joy was revealed on everyone's face.

And seeing the weapon in Lord Wu'an's hand, several people were also somewhat surprised.

Bathed in the blood of deities, Lord Wu'an's long spear was indeed about to undergo a transformation. After all, this weapon had always followed him, received his nurturing, and over these years, various precious materials had been constantly added to it.

It was normal for its true form to undergo a transformation now, especially since this divine blood was not simple.

"Next, it's the few below."

After Bai Qi put away his weapon, he looked toward the valley; that was the final target, and the things inside were real.

Naturally, they would not let those deities get the advantage. After all, if they really let them obtain Taiyi Divine Emperor's inheritance, if the opponent broke through, it might not be a good thing for their human Great Qin.

If another Taiyi Divine Emperor came, that would be bad. ===== CHAPTER 437 =====
