Chapter 748 (1/2)

Meng Gui said flatly, “Don’t be envious of the things you can’t get your hands on. Big Fatty Long, the Destruction Attribute is one that surpasses Saint Attribute. That Six Ultimate Heavenly Path Formation of yours may be fascinating, but I’m afraid it’ll be left here today.”

Just as his words fell, six rays of Destruction Energy, filled with insanity and a hysterical aura, almost rose from six directions simultaneously. The concentrated Destruction aura instantly compressed the six colors of Six Ultimate Heavenly Path Formation released by Long Shiya inward. On top of Meng Gui’s direct confrontation, Long Shiya had been pressured into a disadvantageous situation within an instant.

Long Shiya’s facial expression changed immediately. Although he had heard of the Destruction Attribute from Zhou Weiqing, never had he expected for this Destruction Attribute to be so otherworldly. We would not have taken these people seriously if they did not possess the Destruction Attribute, but the situation right then was obviously different.

A cold grin appeared on Meng Gui’s face, “I guess you’ve expected this, Big Fatty Long. The Destruction Attribute isn’t only powerful, its powers will also grow stronger the more its users are. If we’re just using our own attributes, there’s no way for us to hold you back. However, I now have similarities with them due to our possession of Destruction Attribute. Under the effects of the Destruction Attribute, you can only dream of leaving here. I’ve long heard that you’ve accepted a disciple; this battle today is prepared especially for you. Today, I shall not let you go anywhere.”

Under the pressure of the Destructive Attribute which was being released at the same time by a Heavenly Emperor and six Heavenly King-tier powerhouses, Long Shiya’s Six Ultimate Heavenly path Formation had been compressed to an area of merely several meters around his body, and this area was still shrinking. Once the Six Ultimate Heavenly Path Formation was no longer capable of protecting him, the blows he were to receive would be a deadly one from these seven mighty opponents.

However, what puzzled the Heavenly Emperor Meng Gui was that Long Shiya could still laugh at a time like this, and he was laughing in disdain at that laughed in disdain.

Out of nowhere, a shadow as black as ink appeared at the back of a Heavenly King-tier powerhouse on the left.

The Heavenly King from Blood Red Hell kept on activating his Destruction Attribute and did not notice the shadow behind him at all.

Even a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse like Heavenly Emperor Meng Gui had not noticed how the person appeared.

Heavy, strong fists easily gripped onto the Blood Red Hell Heavenly King’s neck. Everything was too sudden for the Heavenly King. Due to his cultivation base that was at that of a Heavenly King-tier, the Heavenly Energy within him seemed to have exploded in an instant from the ambush.

Furthermore, the Blood Red Hell Heavenly King was also extremely cruel. He had chosen to detonate his Heavenly Core Nucleus without any hesitation.

To have his neck grabbed by someone without any warning, what did it mean? It meant that the individual’s cultivation was far superior to his. Only by detonating his Heavenly Nucleus Core and activating his strongest attack to frighten his enemies would he have a chance to stay alive. Once one had reached the rank of a Heavenly King, one’s wisdom would escalate along with the development of the cultivation base. Without any hesitation, he had made the right choice.

Unfortunately, while his decision was correct, the reality was different from what he wished for.

The terrifying powers of devour made the Blood Red Hell Heavenly King instantly feel as if his body was caught in a whirlpool in the depths of the ocean. His will to ignite the Heavenly Nucleus Core had momentarily frozen. Then, his Heavenly Energy began to flow out of his body, whereas his Heavenly Nucleus Core was no longer under his control. It was absorbed by an attraction force out of nowhere to the extent that it was stuck.

With the sudden decrease in the Destruction Attribute’s Heavenly Energy’s suppression, Long Shiya’s lights of six colors brightened substantially. It was only when the explosion had brought along huge energy waves, only did the group from Blood Red Hell notice that something was amiss.

In unison, they directed their gaze to the heavenly King-tier powerhouse who had been ambushed. However, when they had come to their senses and wanted to go to his rescue, it was too late.

Blocked by the Heavenly King-tier powerhouse’s body, there was no way for them to see what had struck the Heavenly King-tier powerhouse. What they had seen was only his body flying backward at top speed, moving far away.

At this moment, the Blood Red Hell powerhouses did not dare to make a move. The famed Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor Long Shiya was so powerful that only their great number managed to suppress him. One must know that even for Meng Gui, his cultivation level only laid in the middle ranks of Heavenly Emperor Tier. If he were to have a one-on-one confrontation with Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor Long Shiya, he would not be able to stand for thirty minutes.

The Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor had been known for his great endurance in battle. Ordinary Heavenly Jewel Masters could not easily comprehend Heavenly Jewels with six attributes – his name of The Mightiest below Heavenly God was clearly given for a reason. Even three or four Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouses would be no match for him and the reason he could be restricted was all because of the Destruction Attribute.

“Everyone, stay cautious!” Meng Gui shouted, his demeanor no longer as relaxed as before. At the same time, hesitation arose in his heart.

The Heavenly King-tier powerhouse who had been flown away could no longer be seen, falling into Heavenly Bow City and vanished.

Meng Gui was contemplating if he should strike Long Shiya now, instead of being at a standstill. The reason he chose the current method of suppression was that it was the sole method that would minimize their casualties. Otherwise, upon Long Shiya’s retaliation, they would be paying a deadly price – especially him – as he would definitely be Long Shiya’s first target.

By holding Long Shiya down with the Destruction Attribute, he would be further suppressed by their aura if he were to make the first move, as long as they did not strike. Under repeated attacks like these, Long Shiya would no longer be able to stand not long after.

However, who would have expected such abrupt changes to the situation? One of the six surrounding Heavenly King-tier powerhouses had vanished all of a sudden, resulting in the decline of their pressure on Long Shiya, effectively lengthening the time that Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor could hold himself. Of course, it would bear the same outcome if they were to continue their suppression. However, nobody knew how strong their hidden enemy was.

No matter how much Meng Gui thought of it, he could not wrap his head around the fact that such a powerhouse still existed in Heavenly Bow Empire. Duan Tianliang was powerful, but he was only at the Heavenly King Tier and it was impossible for him to capture a powerhouse of the same level without leaving a trace! To sneak behind a Heavenly King-tier powerhouse without giving himself away brought no guarantee that the Heavenly Emperor would be capable of such a feat.

A cynical expression surfaced on Long Shiya’s face; his previous nervousness and shock were actually being feigned. Indeed, the powers of the enemies before him were not weak, but he had stepped into their trap on purpose. Without the strong attraction force, it would be more taxing for him to get rid of these enemies, but now… would they dare to loosen their suppression on him?

Right at this moment, another heavenly King-tier powerhouse in the other direction similarly let out a grunt, and his body flew backward immediately.

At this point, Meng Gui’s demeanor finally changed, before commanding quickly without any hesitation, “Attack!”

The strong Destructive Attribute instantly transformed from suppression to physical attacks. Greyish brown light mixed with intense flames exploded from the four heavenly King-tier powerhouses simultaneously. At the same time, Consolidated Radiance shone from each of their bodies, and they demonstrated their full power.

Meng Gui had made his judgment at that instant. If there was a possibility that the first Heavenly King-tier powerhouse had been ambushed due to his being off-guard, it would not be as simple as mere carelessness for a second Heavenly King-tier powerhouse to be struck in the same manner. The hidden opponent must be extremely powerful. If the situation were to remain the same, although they triumphed in numbers, it would be hard to determine the outcome of the day’s battle when they had their backs exposed to their enemy. The best course of action would only be by eliminating Long Shiya before searching for the concealed opponent.

When the four Heavenly Kings of Blood Red Hell launched their attacks together, Meng Gui appeared before Long Shiya in a flash. Amidst the dark illumination, each of his hands was covered with a Consolidated Equipment, of two-feet-long Ghostclaw Spikes.

All five of his fingers had the Ghostclaw Spikes, specializing in breaking the defense of Heavenly Energy. In addition to the insane Destruction Attribute, his rush forward had split the air in an instant, forming a long black hole. Without a doubt, he had also exerted his mightiest offense.

Under the pressure of Destruction Attribute, the powers of their combined attack would be the greatest. As long as this attack could deliver a fatal blow to Long Shiya, the rest of the battle would be much easier. Meng Gui even had the confidence of annihilating Long Shiya by himself. Till then, the four Heavenly Kings would guard the perimeters against the enemy lurking in the dark. Once they had gotten rid of Long Shiya, they would deal with the enemy and emerge victoriously.

However, the unfolding of events had always differed from one’s predictions.

The stacked powers of the simultaneous onslaught of the Heavenly Emperor and four Heavenly Kings with the energies of the same attribute may be extremely powerful, but would they really be able to harm Long Shiya? The next moment, Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor gave his answer.

Upon the actions of his opponents, Long Shiya also moved, gesturing both of his arms to draw circles by his sides. The six colored light rays first shrank by two meters and then exploded in an instant. This time, as the six colors exploded, six silhouettes appeared around Long Shiya.

The silhouettes all looked like him – red for the Fire Attribute, green for the Wind Attribute, blue for the Water Attribute, yellow for the Earth Attribute, gold for the Light Attribute and black for the Blackness Attribute.

When the six different colored Long Shiya’s appeared, they acted the same as well. Almost instantly, the Blood Red Hell powerhouses seemed to be facing six of the strongest Heavenly Emperors.

Along with a deafening sound, the five shadows were flung away. Long Shiya had actually knocked away the five Blood Red Hell powerhouses all by himself. On the other hand, he still casually remained at his original position; the only ones who had vanished were the six silhouettes he had released.

Pouting, Long Shiya did not continue the pursuit, “What Destruction Attribute? It’s nothing much.”

“Impossible,” while being hurled away, Meng Gui exclaimed in shock. Among the six shadows released by Long Shiya, two that were summoned were of the Light and Water Attribute respectively. The powerful hit he suffered did not differ much from Long Shiya himself and seemed like a full-blown attack. Even with the heightened powers of the Destructive Attribute, he had been flung away, and the blood in his body was surging. What was even more incomprehensible to Meng Gui was that Long Shiya’s strike had a unique aura which had actually dispersed his Destructive Attribute, nullifying its effects.

Long Shiya laughed aloud, and said, “Little Meng Gui, nothing’s impossible in this world. It’s just your short-sighted vision. What is Destructive Attribute in the face of the Saint Attribute? Everything is useless.”

For him to be able to withstand the hit, it was not entirely due to his own powers. It was true that Long Shiya’s cultivation was strong. Furthermore, he had the combination of six attributes. He had no reasons to be wary of the Destructive Attribute as the four Saint Attributes would not even amount to much suppression when he fused the six Elemental Attributes. Other than that, Zhou Weiqing had injected the real Saint Energy Galaxia into his body. Supported by the Saint Energy Galaxia, one could only imagine the powers that exploded from Long Shiya’s strike. Furthermore, in front of Saint Energy, how was it possible for the Destructive Attribute demonstrate its full potential?

With that, Long Shiya had solved his situation of being besieged in the midst of intersecting light rays.

Meng Gui’s plans were not that bad but compared to the young and cunning Zhou Weiqing, there was still a difference. After all, Zhou Weiqing had played a part in many conspiracies.

All of these were within Zhou Weiqing’s calculations. Meng Gui would never have expected for Zhou Weiqing to be here two hours ago. He had conducted a detailed investigation regarding the location, and with the Starcrux Saint Nucleus Core’s effects in place, even the Heavenly Emperors could not detect Zhou Weiqing’s presence.

After identifying the enemies, how could Zhou Weiqing leave them any chance?

Just as Meng Gui was crying out in shock, yet another of the four Heavenly Kings who were being bombarded away had disappeared.

The situation was just too strange and caused the expressions of the other three Blood Red Hell Heavenly Kings to change. They did not consider launching another round of attacks at Long Shiya but instead, gathered together in the span of a few breaths. They stood with their backs facing each other and surveyed their surroundings in vigilance.

Long Shiya stood midair, clasping his hands behind him, his eyes beaming with pride. He was not proud of himself, but of his beloved disciple.

To take care of three Heavenly Kings within such a short span of time without leaving a single trace. There was no doubt that Zhou Weiqing could do it!

Although Zhou Weiqing only had the cultivation base of someone at the Heavenly King Tier, with the Starcrux Saint Nucleus Core and his magnificent escalation abilities, he could definitely hold a candle against a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse. He may have pulled some tricks in his victorious battle against his father-in-law at the Heaven’s Expanse Palace on Heavenly Jewel Island, but much of the events were due to his efforts. While these Heavenly Kings had to withstand the insurmountable pressure by Long Shiya, his ambush had easily taken effect.

Rays of dark golden light shone in the dark. Under the illumination of the dark golden rays, a shadow with wings spread on its back emerged slowly from the dark.

Without chances of ambush, Zhou Weiqing no longer had any reason to continue hiding and revealed himself.

At this time, his entire body was covered with solid armor, including both his legs, all shielded by the Ringless Ground Purging Set.

Before coming here today, he had already completed the consolidation of all the nine pieces in front of the Ringless Ground Purging Set. Only the last piece was left for the whole set to be complete.

When he released his Ringless Ground Purging Set, the light around his body seemed slightly distorted. Terrifying energy waves flowed through the air, and the only thing he did not have right then was a helmet.

On top of the Dual God Strength Hammers, dark golden light rays shone as illuminating images of crying and smiling faces interchanged. The fascinating thing was that the spot on his chest was shining, and the light rays were brightening and dimming, displaying an image akin to a throbbing heart.
