Chapter 93 - The Blade... (1/2)
A/N: My biggest chapter, 3.1k words. I enjoyed writing it and I hoped you guys will enjoy it too.
At this moment, Gu Yue arrived at the snowy mountain along with her three companions.
”Di Tian, open up a portal.”
”Yes, your excellency.”
A black strand of energy emerged from Di Tian's arm as it wrapped all around it. The arm quickly morphed into a black dragon claw that held great ferocity.
With a swing of his claw, space ripped apart. A portal opened up, leading to the Dragon Valley.
Just as Gu Yue was about to step through it, she was interrupted by a voice.
”I'm sorry, but will you please not go in? Our king doesn't want to be disturbed.”
Turning to the source of the voice, Gu Yue was met with a dark-skinned man. Looking at the design of the clothing, she muttered,
”Nox…”
”Here to please.”
Gu Yue didn't care about the dark-skinned man anymore after that. ”Xiong Jun, Zi Ji, take care of him.”
”Yes, your excellency.”
Gu Yue tried to enter the portal once more, but she was halted by a barrier.
”Sorry, but our king's dėsɨrės are absolute. No one is to disobey his words.”
A yellow haired woman spoke up at this time. Her skin was slightly grey as she made use of some of the powers of her martial spirit, Kabbalah.
A sigh left Gu Yue's lips as a staff appeared in her hand.

”It's a trap.”
”Heh, so you're aware.”
The Dragon God's voice echoed throughout the world as it stood in the air in all of its seven-coloured brilliance.
”Be proud. This formation you're trapped in is called the God Killing Sabre Array. Millions of First-class Gods died to this back then.”
Huang Yu just kept silent as he stood there, slowly waiting for his wounds to recover.
At this moment, there was an indescribable look on Huang Yu's pale face. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking of.
Seeing this, the Dragon God snorted.
”Dragon God Raging Domain.”
A domain spread out across the entire world in an instant.
Every dragon in the vicinity roared in glee as they felt their strengths increasing. On the other hand, Huang Yu felt a strange energy try to suppress him.
He wasn't affected however, as his bloodline swiftly eliminated all traces of it.
”Begin, God Killing Sabre Array!”
All at once, the colours of the rainbow emerged from all of the remaining resentful dragons.
They converged above Huang Yu's head, slowly forming a shape as it did so.
Looking up, Huang Yu raised an eyebrow as he watched the energies coalesce. It formed a blade that hung over the sky like a guillotine.
”A sabre?” Huang Yu muttered.
As soon as those words left Huang Yu's lips, tens of thousands of similar sabres formed in the sky.
Each one contained the grand powers of heaven and earth. They all contained the ability to destroy worlds.
Nonetheless, Huang Yu wasn't intimidated. He painted an emotionless look on his visage as he faced these sabres.
Jabbing the side of his head with his fingers again, Huang Yu let out a deep breath.
Pain instantly wracked Huang Yu's body, nearly forcing him to his knees.
In response, he poked the location where his heart would be.
No Pain
As of this moment, Huang Yu would be fighting this battle without being hampered by pain from injuries.
”Are you done?”
There was a hint of boredom in the Dragon God's voice at this moment. It seemed as if it believed that this battle was already over.
”Yup–
Huang Yu instantly found a sabre in front of his eye.
His Godspeed activating once more, Huang Yu disappeared in a crackle of lightning.
To him, it felt as if he was in the world's most horrid bullet hell as he pushed his body along with his brain to the utmost limits to dodge.
Despite this, Huang Yu found himself with countless wounds on his body.
He was unable to dodge every single attack in this horrifying God-level array.
There were just too many sabres going at too great speeds!
In this battlefield littered with multi-elemental sabres, Huang Yu was completely on the defense. There was only enough time for him to use the King's Wisdom that way.
”Explode.”
As those words entered Huang Yu's ears, he suddenly found that the sabres on the ground were increasing in brightness.
Realisation appearing on his face, Huang Yu gritted his teeth.
His third eye glowed as he made use of the King's Wisdom once more.
A shockwave that levelled mountains and shook the seas was released from it, causing the world no small amounts of destruction.
In the skies, the Dragon God frowned.
It could feel that Huang Yu's capability in space wasn't necessarily inferior to its.
In that case, it would prove to be extremely troublesome to take care of Huang Yu.
As Huang Yu reappeared thousands of kilometres away from the spot he was at, he let out a breath of relief.
The shockwave of the explosions reached him at this moment. Nonetheless, he didn't flinch at it.
Huang Yu knew that he wasn't out of hot water yet despite having traversed far away.
There was no way an array that killed Gods was this easily to escape from.
And as if on timing, Huang Yu had to tilt his head to dodge a sabre.
A rain of sabres once more fell from the sky. WIthin this formation, Huang Yu was like a monkey playing on Buddha's palm.
Huang Yu instantly used the King's Wisdom once more, manipulating gravity to affect space.
Noticing this, the Dragon God sneered.
”Space Blockade”
The moment those words were uttered, Huang Yu felt as if a massive wall was set up to prevent his escape.
He could break this blockade. However, with the sabres falling on his head, he didn't have the time nor the excess attention to do so.
Hence, he would have to find some way to destroy this formation if he wanted to win.
That was easier said than done, but Huang Yu had confidence.
Clasping his hands together, Huang Yu closed his eyes before a thick layer of jade-coloured energy surrounded his body.
He then unclasped his hands, pulling them apart with some difficulty.
Between them, was a ball made of pitch black darkness.
There seemed to be a soft white glow around it, giving a sort of illusory feel.
A low, guttural voice emerged from Huang Yu's throat. His breathing was slightly heavy as he opened his eyes once more.
”Planetary Devastation”
Huang Yu didn't waste any more time as he slid his foot back. Then, he ċȯċked his arm to the back as if he was about to pitch a baseball.
In a swift movement, he blasted the ball up into the air, roaring loudly as he did so.
As the ball collided with the elemental sabres, an irresistible gravitational attractive force filled the world.
The earth rumbled and the skies shook as a gravitational pull similar to a blackhole.
Every sabre in the vicinity found themselves unable to proceed as the pull from the black orb was just too powerful.
Clang
A red and yellow sabre were the first ones to be pulled into the black orb.
Clang
Clang
Clang
More and more clangs resounded as every single sabre fired were being drawn into this irresistible force of nature.
Trees were uprooted and mountains crumbled as bits and pieces of them joined the black orb, forming a celestial body.
It was so powerful that some of the dragons in the array were pulled free from it.
Existing as merely bits of resentment without a physical body left, some of them just couldn't resist this incredible force.
The Dragon God watched all this with a grim expression on its face. It really didn't expect that Huang Yu would still have a card like this up his sleeve.
It felt the strong pull from the ball as well, but it was nullified by the element of ruin surrounding it.
Perhaps it was time to take the array up a notch.
The Dragon God opened its maw. It opened its arms as it lifted its claws to the sky.
All of the other dragons noticed the action of their God. A gleam of excitement entered their eyes as they stopped their attack at this moment.
They bent down into a bow as they gave their utmost reverence, along with their strength to the Dragon God.
Millions of tiny lights of nine colours, two more than the seven basic elements, coalesced above the Dragon God's maw.
It slowly formed a giant sabre as space-and-time broke around it.
Naturally, Huang Yu noticed the halt of the attacks as well.
Sweeping the skies with his eyes, he was quickly made aware of the Dragon God's actions.
”I won't let you!”
Huang Yu rose his right hand to the sky, grasping the air as if grasping an object.
Then, he pulled.
A rumble resounded through space at this time.
With it, came the rough movement of the celestial body that had been formed from that small dark ball.
It started a bit slowly, but quickly gained speed.
In a matter of milliseconds, the Dragon God found a small planet being hurled at it.
Normally this attack wouldn't harm the Dragon God. Even a Limit Douluo could destroy a celestial body of this size without much difficulty.
