Chapter 832 (1/2)
A bitter smile crept up on Xue Ao’tian’s face, “I can’t even protect the Heavenly Snow Mountain. What’s the point bearing the title of being the most powerful person in the world? From today onwards, Heavenly Snow Mountain has ceased to exist.”
“No!” Shangguan Tianyang stared straight into Xue Ao’tian’s eyes, “Brother Xue, I’m deeply sorry about the catastrophe that fell upon the Heavenly Snow Mountain, but regardless if it were to be you or the Heavenly Snow Mountain, this is a sacrifice that you had to pay for the sake of the mainland’s survival. Before I came here for the Grand Tournament, I’ve received news that the Dandun Empire has launched an attack on the Zhongtian Empire. It’s entirely conceivable that if the battle here fails, the entire mainland will plunge into misery and suffering. Brother Xue, as long as you’re willing to, we from the Heaven’s Expanse Palace can you half of the area on Heavenly Jewel Island to you so that you can rebuild your glory. At the same time, I give you my word that we, the Zhongtian Empire, will sponsor all the food the Wan Shou Empire requires during the winter months from this day on. However, you’d naturally have to give the order to control the population of your country, Brother Xue.”
After listening to Shangguan Tianyang’s words, Xue Ao’tian could not help but be touched by his gesture, “Tianyang, are you really serious? I don’t need the Heavenly Jewel Island but if you can help solve the famine of the Wan Shou Empire, you can count on us to do our part in fighting against the Dandun Empire. Ao’ying, Yingbing, both of you, go now! Pick ten of the most elite soldiers and go forth to assist the Zhongtian Empire!”
“Yes, sir!” Xue Ao’ying and Gu Yingbing replied respectfully as they turned to leave. Before they left, Gu Yingbing deliberately cast a look onto Zhou Weiqing who was still levitating in the distant sky.
“Wait a minute!” Shangguan Tianyang hurriedly said, “You can’t just go off like that! Tianyue, you go with them. Escort the Tiger and Lion King to the frontier. I’ll skip the formality of showering you with thanks. However, Brother Xue, with all the members of the Peerless Sect present here as my witness, I’m sure all of you have heard me earlier. I’ll definitely honor my words!”
A smile which was hard to come by appeared on Xue Ao’tian’s face, as he took the initiative and extended his right hand to Shangguan Tianyang. With a laugh, the latter stretched out his right hand before extending a firm handshake to Xue Ao’tian.
Both the lords of two great Saint Lands who had been fighting against each other for their entire lives had finally reconciled under such a circumstance, to solve the misery and suffering in the northern regions of the mainland.
After repeatedly forewarning her daughters to be careful, Shangguan Tianyue hastily left the scene with Xue Ao’ying and Gu Yingbing. In truth, from his point of view, he was actually not willing to leave at such a time. This battle had yet to end and what was more important was whether or not Zhou Weiqing would be able to defeat Fen Tian. However, he also understood fairly well that neither Shangguan Tianyang nor Xue Ao’tian was entirely certain regarding the ultimate outcome of this battle. Finding a reason to let the three of them go at once was to hold on to whatever kindling they could for the survival of their own Saint Land.
Just as Shangguan Tianyue left, a platinum-colored light suddenly spread out from Zhou Weiqing and Tian’er’s body.
“It’s complete! The Heavenly God Tier! They’re both Heavenly Gods now!” Shangguan Tianyang almost cheered with joy.
In truth, both he and Xue Ao’tian did not have high expectations in this battle at all. After all, the gap between Zhou Weiqing and Fen Tian was just too huge. Not only that, Fen Tian had used such a long period of time to accumulate his strength and one could easily imagine the immense magnitude of his boost in power would be. However, things appeared to be very different now.
Tian’er actually achieved a breakthrough to the Heavenly God Tier with Zhou Weiqing. In fact, both of them possessed Saint Energy as their power! To top it all off, it was Creation Saint Energy! With the two of them joining forces, they stood a greater chance of winning against Fen Tian now.
Slowly opening his eyes, Zhou Weiqing breathed in the thrill of having a completely different type of Saint Energy in his body, along with the breakthrough that he had just undergone. A smile slowly crept up on his face.
At this moment, regardless if it was him or Tian’er, both of them felt like they had been washed off from all the bad, leaving only the good behind. Both of their dispositions had also changed dramatically.
Originally, there was still a hint of evil in Zhou Weiqing’s body but right now, he seemed to be a noble person with the utmost integrity in this world. Easygoing, warm, righteous, kind, and all sorts of positive traits could easily be found in him now.
It was the same for Tian’er as well. The only thing was that the Saint Energy ripple in her body was much weaker than that of Zhou Weiqing.
A breakthrough with Saint Energy was always different from the Heavenly Energy. With the help of Galaxia Feedback Energy, Zhou Weiqing and Tian’er harmonized with each other perfectly and achieved a breakthrough to become Heavenly Gods in the end. Within just a short period of time, Zhou Weiqing’s cultivation base was immediately raised to the Middle-Level of the Heavenly God Tier while Tian’er’s was at the Lower-Level of the Heavenly God Tier. At any rate, Zhou Weiqing was the person who first initiated breakthrough but the person who benefited the most from it was none other than Tian’er. Within a short duration, she had made a huge leap in crossing several bottlenecks.
“Relax, the big surprise has yet to come,” said Long Shiya triumphantly to Shangguan Tianyang and Xue Ao’tian. Seeing his beloved disciple becoming a Heavenly God and with a strength that far exceeded himself, one could easily imagine the swelling excitement and joy that Six Ultimate Heavenly God felt.
Xue Aot’ian and Shangguan Tianyang did not even attempt to hide the envy that they felt towards Long Shiya. After glaring at him fiercely, they turned their gaze towards Zhou Weiqing and waited for the miracle that Long Shiya had just mentioned.
Right now, the biggest emotion they felt was regret. When they first came across, or rather, got to know Zhou Weiqing, they certainly had the opportunity to take him into their own Saint Land but unfortunately, they did not show enough sincerity toward him at that time.
When Long Shiya was speaking, Zhou Weiqing already gradually lifted his right hand until it was fully over his head. What followed next was a loud dragon’s roar that erupted from his hand.
A turquoise light instantly surged and without warning, it transformed into a gigantic Jade Dragon in mid-air as it circled above Zhou Weiqing’s head.
The white golden light that was spreading in the air suddenly converged and rushed into the body of the Jade Dragon in a frenzied manner, dyeing its entire body in white and gold. After the gigantic dragon had completed its ninth circle in the air, it charged straight down all the way into Zhou Weiqing’s body.
