Chapter 17: The Ambush from Luohou

Blood Sea.

Myriad laws and paths resonated in unison.

Supreme divine might swept through heaven and earth.

Fengdu walked within the Zhou Tian; where He passed, time became illusion, and space dissolved into nothingness!

One by one, the gods witnessed His terror.

They retreated or fled, showing no desire to fight.

The timelines contracted; one after another, figures severed their ties with the Blood Sea.

They leapt out of the temporal node where the Blood Sea resided, even directly distancing themselves from the Hong Huang Zhen Jie.

“Friend, our karmic debts are settled.”

“Our connection is ended. Farewell!”

“Gone, gone!”

“Hey, friend, let’s talk this out—I’m just here to watch the show, I didn’t lift a finger!”

“Done for! This Dao body is ruined!”

……

Throughout the Huan Yu, the myriad worlds and times.

Streams of light scattered everywhere.

Powerful beings along countless timelines sensed the turmoil in the Blood Sea.

The alliance between Ming He and Fengdu had sparked a slaughter that shook them all.

Countless eyes pierced through endless time and space, observing this great battle.

“The Wu Shang Zhen Jie truly is the Wu Shang Zhen Jie—terrifying.”

“Don’t you remember who opened this heaven and earth?”

“Geez, Hong Huang is dangerously wild—glad I didn’t go.”

Someone who saw Ming He muttered under his breath: “Good heavens, isn’t that our universe’s Xiuluo Zhusen? How is he so fierce?”

“The Lord of the Killing Dao is this terrifying.”

Above the Blood Sea, eighty million Xue Shen Zi unleashed terrifying slaughter, startling many.

Everyone had to admit, “Though this friend has bad luck, his strength is impressive.”

More Xiantian Dashen turned their attention to Fengdu.

They couldn’t help but pay attention.

This guy was even fiercer.

He teamed up with Ming He and slaughtered like a madman.

Even bold Ming He was just a sidekick.

Fengdu was truly going on a killing spree!

“Who would’ve thought there was such a being in the Blood Sea?”

“Could a Taiyi-level Dao Lord possess this power? Hasn’t he already certified Da Luo?”

“Hey, we’re just watching the show here, and you’re telling horror stories?”

One Dao Lord, hearing this, rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Another Dao Lord shuddered: “Don’t joke! If this guy has already achieved that primordial Da Luo realm, can we still sit here calmly watching?”

Sun Star.

Two brothers sat beneath the Fusang fruit tree, watching the Blood Sea battle with great interest, occasionally offering comments.

“This reminds me a bit of Ji Du.”

“I think so too.”

“Should we test it out at the next meeting?”

“You go then—it’s your turn to be the Taiyang Shang Zun anyway.”

Outside Xikunlun, the Moon Goddess Wangshu’s gaze was drawn as well, temporarily forgetting her search for her sister.

This let Lu Wu exhale in relief.

Above the East Sea, Chenxing Shang Zun, who had just returned to Hong Huang, glanced once and withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, he wandered near Gui Xu, searching for something.

“Hey? Where are the succubi?”

“Where did all those succubi go?”

Deep within Gui Xu.

Hong Jun and Yang Mei both observed the Blood Sea.

“No wonder you’ve always kept your eyes on Fengdu—trying to invite him to our side.”

Yang Mei had never directly interacted with Xiang Xuanqing before; now seeing him slaughter without restraint, he greatly admired him.

“Don’t you trust my judgment?”

Hong Jun smiled: “When it comes to choosing people, when have I ever been wrong?”

Yang Mei couldn’t stand Hong Jun’s smug look—he said: “Your judgment isn’t bad, but what if he won’t come?”

“The connection hasn’t formed yet—why rush?” Hong Jun remained calm.

“You’re not rushing? You’re not rushing.” Yang Mei glanced at him: “Who was it last time, eagerly waiting at Kunlun Mountain, lying in wait for that destined one?”

“And when he offered you a pill, you turned and walked away.”

Hong Jun fell silent.

He recalled his meeting with Jing Yao and felt something must have gone wrong.

According to calculations, Jing Yao truly had a karmic bond with him, Hong Jun.

A master-disciple bond. But…

“This pill…” Hong Jun pondered—could Jing Yao’s Dao fruit be tied to the four characters “Fu Xi Huo Xi”?

So far, Jing Yao was the second being, after Xiang Xuanqing, to cause him such inner turmoil.

“Oh!”

“Finally hooked!”

Yang Mei rejoiced and reeled in his line.

“Gululu~~”

As the sea surged, a divine mountain gradually emerged from the water.

Dai Yu!

“I’ve hooked one too.” Hong Jun’s brow relaxed; he smiled.

Whether destined or not—fish it up first.

A second divine mountain surfaced.

Yuan Qiao.

“Come on, let’s go take a look—I’ve already sensed what you’re looking for.”

Yang Mei stepped forward, summoning golden light as he ascended the divine mountain.

“The Kai Tian Fu Ren—hmm, hmm, hmm.”

Cang Wu Abyss.

Xiang Gu Zhi Shi, returned from the Blood Sea, carried his long spear into a patch of darkness.

At the abyss’s bottom lay a chaotic coffin.

“After all this trouble going out, I gained nothing—and ran into someone I shouldn’t have met.”

Xiang Gu Zhi Shi sighed—he hadn’t expected to encounter Xiang Xuanqing on this trip.

He slowly approached the coffin and pulled out a divine cord: “I must move quickly—he saw me, he’ll surely notify that other annoying fellow.”

“If I don’t leave now, it’ll get messy.”

Xiang Gu Zhi Shi lifted the coffin onto his shoulder.

Moving, moving.

But he hadn’t even left Cang Wu Abyss.

A figure intercepted him.

He stood tall and majestic, his black hair cascading like a waterfall to his waist, his expression cold and aloof, his deep dark eyes filled with calm.

“Luohou friend?” Xiang Gu Zhi Shi forced a stiff smile.

So fast?!

“Where is Shen Ni?”

Luohou’s gaze was indifferent, his aura profound as an ocean, shaking the myriad heavens.

“Shen Ni? Who’s that? I don’t know him.”

Xiang Gu Zhi Shi unfastened the divine cord while glancing left and right, searching for an escape.

Suddenly, he pried open one corner of the coffin.

Then shoved it violently forward.

Boom!

A thunderous crash echoed; Cang Wu trembled.

The grim aura surged wildly, churning without end.

The chaotic giant coffin pressed down, sinking the celestial dome by a fraction.

Boom boom boom~~

Accompanying it was the clanking sound of iron chains.

Space itself was collapsing; all matter in this world was disintegrating at an extreme speed.

Luo Hou stood unmoved, single-handedly suppressing the entire universe.

His gaze fixed on the chaotic coffin, he gave a slight nod, not even glancing at the corpse of Xianggu.

“You may leave, but it must stay.”

With a flick of his sleeve, Luo Hou summoned a black long spear in his hand.

Killing intent instantly boiled over; the lethal pressure around surged to its peak!

Seeing this, the corpse of Xianggu felt his scalp go numb.

“You two chat away!” He truly abandoned the chaotic coffin and fled without looking back.

The chaotic coffin hovered motionless in the void.

A silence followed.

After a long while, three thousand divine chains clattered loudly.

“Sigh~… Friend, you’ve disturbed my slumber time and again.”

“Why must it be this way?”

Luo Hou sneered: “Slumber?”

“If you were content with slumber, would I be here?”

“If we fight, we’ll only benefit others,” the coffin urged, for it had no desire to oppose Luo Hou now.

Luo Hou paid no heed.

“No more to discuss?”

As a cold, eerie syllable echoed, a withered giant hand reached out from the pitch-black coffin.

A terrifying and ominous aura radiated forth.
