Chapter 1188

Being able to witness the clash of extreme Dao powerhouses is itself a fortunate encounter upon the martial path.

Just as the two thought a top-tier confrontation was about to unfold—

Who would have thought that the War God Puppet, halfway through its charge, suddenly veered in midair.

Then thick black smoke erupted from its rear, and another massive surge of thrust propelled the War God Puppet to flee into the distance.

"……"

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang exchanged glances.

What is going on here?

What happened to the promised clash of extreme Dao powerhouses?

Where is your arrogance, Hearing Cheng Jiao?

"You just wait for Us. The day We return will be the moment you are buried—"

Though he was clearly piloting the War God Puppet in flight, Hearing Cheng Jiao still tossed out a parting line for the occasion.

"Heh…"

Di Shitian gave a disdainful smile and asked,

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Daxia, Mr. Xiaoxiao—who among you will make a move?"

"He isn't worth it…"

Xiao Jingtian folded his arms across his chest and said succinctly.

"Such a weakling—I simply can't muster any interest."

Xiao Aoshi gave a knowing chuckle, also having no intention of striking.

Wu Wudi frowned, said nothing more, and merely gave a slight shake of his head.

Clearly, the dignity of his martial path also disdained making a move against a petty man like Hearing Cheng Jiao.

"Heh! Since the three gentlemen all fear dirtying their hands, this thankless task shall be left to Xu!

After all, Xu is but a servant of the Great Dragon Lord."

When Di Shitian spoke the word "servant," he seemed to regard it as the highest honor.

Then, without any visible technique, he merely raised his hand lightly and clenched the void.

A bone-chilling cold surged forth, rapidly pursuing the fleeing War God Puppet.

In the blink of an eye, the War God Puppet's massive body was encased in countless layers of profound ice.

Even the black smoke it had belched out was frozen along with it!

With the War God Puppet sealed in profound ice, it could no longer flee and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Ah! Do you want to die?!"

Hearing Cheng Jiao flew into a rage.

In truth, he was no true fool—he could naturally tell that Di Shitian and the others were not people he could afford to provoke.

Thus, after a show of bluster, he had wanted to escape and be done with it.

In his thinking, although the War God Puppet's body was enormous and hard to conceal,

precisely because of its massive size, its escape speed was incomparably swift.

At the very least, ordinary Heavenly Being Realm, or even Supreme Mythical Realm powerhouses, would likely be unable to stop the War God Puppet.

He simply never expected that Di Shitian needed only a casual wave of his hand to freeze the War God Puppet from afar.

What kind of technique was this?

"Remember this—the nine provinces and ten thousand lands belong to the Great Dragon Lord alone!

Under all of heaven, if the Great Dragon Lord does not style himself Wang Zhiwang, then no one is qualified.

Understand, you little trash?!"

Di Shitian paid no heed to Hearing Cheng Jiao's threats, merely flashed forward, and arrived atop the War God Puppet's head.

Then he stamped lightly, and a tremendous force drove the War God Puppet's head brutally into the earth.

That single blow left Hearing Cheng Jiao, who was within the War God Puppet's head, so rattled he could not tell up from down.

If Hearing Cheng Jiao were not now considered a master in his own right, and had not been shielded by the power bestowed by some mysterious existence, that single shock alone would likely have killed him outright.

After quite a long while, Hearing Cheng Jiao gradually recovered.

At this moment, not a trace of his former arrogance remained—only boundless terror.

He knew that if he uttered one more boast, this man would truly kill him.

"The Great Dragon Lord is naturally Wang Zhiwang—Great Qin is the first to acknowledge this."

At this moment, Hearing Ying Zheng finally arrived with Prince Zichu, Shang Yang, Bai Qi, and others.

Seeing Di Shitian standing atop the War God Puppet's head in that invincible pose,

Prince Zichu and Shang Yang exchanged a glance, having already shared their thoughts in their hearts.

The cultivation of this Great Dragon Lord's servant, Qinglong Society's guest elder Di Shitian, had advanced once again…

But how could this be?!

Not to mention extreme Dao powerhouses—even Supreme Mythical Realm powerhouses found any further progress as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Without the right opportunity, one might never advance another step in a lifetime!

Yet since Di Shitian had appeared in the world, how many times had he already advanced?

This latest progress seemed all the more terrifying!

How exactly had he done it?

Was it because Qinglong Society's cultivation resources were simply too exaggerated?

Or was it that…?

"Qin Huang."

Di Shitian nodded at Ying Zheng, treating it as a greeting.

Ying Zheng hurriedly returned the courtesy and said,

"Within this War God Demon is my unworthy younger brother, Chengjiu. Could Mr. Xu hand him over to Great Qin for disposition?"

This time, Chengjiu had died and come back to life, stirring up no small disturbance with the aid of Despair Shanzhuang.

Great Qin had even tilted the bulk of its efforts toward this calamity.

A host of high-ranking worship experts had nearly all arrived in person.

Now that the turmoil outside was being temporarily handled by a few elite Qin Army units, Ying Zheng wished to deal personally with the ringleader, Chengjiu.

"No problem!"

Di Shitian nodded in agreement,

"But this War God Demon is, after all, a treasure of Chiyou. If Great Qin destroys this demonic treasure, aren't you afraid of offending Chiyou?"

"…"

The moment those words left Di Shitian's mouth, everyone present—apart from the Chuqinglong Society—was utterly shocked.

What did this mean?

Offend Chiyou?

Could it be that the legendary ancient demon god was actually still alive?

How could that be possible!

Ying Zheng and the others reeled inwardly; they had never imagined this matter would drag Chiyou into it!.

Fortunately, Ying Zheng lived up to his name as the sovereign of Great Qin. After a brief shock, he finally caught on and said to Di Shitian,

"One who rebels against his sovereign has no pardonable crime. I imagine this is also an iron rule within the Qinglong Society, yes?"

As he said this, Ying Zheng was also studying Di Shitian's face.

But aside from a pair of eyes, Di Shitian was entirely shrouded by a dark-ice mask.

……

Sure enough.

Once his words fell, Elder Cheng's eyes turned blood-red, and a sinister aura burst forth from within his body.

Then he bit down hard, and his entire body swelled up as if pumped full of air.

Boom!
