Chapter 429 - Celestial Emperor Bi Xie (1/2)
Fifty thousand years ago, the supernatural incident that happened in the West Barren's divine court long ago now was now being replayed here.
The gods' apparitions fought together ferociously, striking down one another and bathing in each other's blood. The atmosphere became a concoction of depression, sadness, hatred, greed, and anger that surged throughout the divine court.
Peng Jinyi and the others were all affected by these negative emotions, and they started attacking everything around them!
Fortunately for them, these apparitions were all illusions; thus, their attacks would only phase through Zhong Yue and the others. However, the five of them quickly came across each other, and upon seeing each other, they only one thing in their minds, and that was the impulse to kill everything in sight!
Wennggggg————
The sound of the horn continued to resound through the air, urging the gods and demonic gods to continue fighting ferociously. As the gods on the court hurled attacks at each other, Celestial Emperor Bi Xie remained still as he looked at the scene with a cold stare.
The bodies of the apparitions laid in the blood pool as the battle continued. Suddenly, a god flew away with two dragons on his feet, and another Bai Zhe Celestial left as well. Then, four dragon gods also left the battle as well. They opened up their mouths and roared, but nothing was heard.
After that, there was another god with the Divine Wing Saber in his hand. He swung his sword, and struck down the gods around him, turning turned into a humongous fish that quickly swam away.
Aside from these gods, another demonic god left the scene by resisting the demonic horn with his demonic arts, while the grand ancestor of Xiao Mang Celestial Race turned into a three-headed Pan Ao as he charged straight into the moon.
Celestial Emperor Bi Xie, however, remains as he was, taking no action at all.
As the horn kept blowing, more and more gods were felled, and little by little, an ocean of blood was formed.
However, this was all just an illusion of what had happened 50,000 years ago, but the battle between Zhong Yue, Peng Jinyi, Peng Qianqiu, Xia Zhongjin, and Xia Zhongguang was real. At this point, Zhong Yue was no longer being attacked by the four pursuers as all five
of them had lost their minds. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they attacked whomever entered their vicinity indiscriminately.
Peng Jinyi and Peng Qianqiu turned into bird-headed celestial beings that used their feathers as swords and wings as sabers. They furiously slashed toward their opponents. Xia Zhongjin Xia Zhongguang attacked with sonic waves and used their hair as swords as they bullishly charged at everyone in sight without regard for defense or self-preservation.
Zhong Yue turned into his Fu Xi form, hurled his snake tail around, and swung his Golden Peng Swords toward the front!
It did not take long before wounds were littered all over the five's bodies with blood gushing out of their injuries. Xia Zhongjin's scalp was cut away by Peng Jinyi, and his hair was removed by Peng Qianqiu. And as Xia Zhongjin shouted, Zhong Yue punched right into his mouth.
Peng Qianqiu was struck by a few hundred swords transformed from Peng Jinyi's feather, and Zhong Yue landed an almost lethal blow on his body. Zhong Yue's attack landed very close to Peng Qianqiu's heart, but Peng Qianqiu managed to narrowly escape death at the cost of his rib cage.
Xia Zhongguang's and Peng Jinyi's situations were not much better as they were also continually hit with all sorts of attacks.
Zhong Yue also suffered injuries; his arms and snake tail were cleaved off, and his teeth were all knocked out by Peng Qianqiu.
Thankfully, after entering the Heavenly Dharma level, his regenerative abilities were greatly elevated as his arms began to regrow at a visible rate.
Right after that, six more arms grew out again, and with his other two arms, he had eight arms in total. He then took out the soul weapons that he had robbed from the various celestial races of the West Barren and charged toward the other four people!
Even with blood gushing out from their wounds, they just kept on fighting each other with seeming disregard for their own lives.
Suddenly, the horn in the sky disappeared. And immediately, the five of them came back to their senses. As soon as they regained complete control of their mental faculties, they all shivered and retreated away from each other.
Zhong Yue's now flattened head soon returned to normal again, something that gave the other four a shock as they felt envy toward Zhong Yue's healing abilities.
This guy is just like a cockroach, why can't he just die!
As soon as they thought this, Celestial Emperor Bi Xie suddenly smiled as he looked at the countless corpses on the court.
Wu lulu——-
Out of nowhere, a gourd emerged in the skies.
This gourd had an eerie appearance – it was much broader and longer than other ordinary gourds.
Then, the gourd's lid opened and sucked the spirits of the dead gods into itself.
"Gather their corpses and have them guard the tomb and the saint spirit," ordered Celestial Emperor Bi Xie.
As he gave out his order, giant war chariots driven by muscular gods continually streamed out of the city, each carrying an enormous black coffin into which the gods threw the corpses that lay on the ground.
Immediately, Zhong Yue realized the main cause of this incident 50,000 years ago!
Celestial Emperor Bi Xie slaughtered so many gods just to cultivate the saint spirit! These six joints on the gourd represent the Great Wilderness' Swords Gate, the West Barren's Xiao Mang Celestial Temple, the East Barren's Black Mountain, the South Barren's Tian Hou Palace, and the North Barren's Frozen Ancient Capital. There are even countless god spirits within the round ball in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land!
This incident that took place 50,000 years ago was incredibly bizarre, but now, after seeing the horn's effect on the gods' minds, and the gourd that sucked away the spirits of the dead gods, everything became even more strange and eerie.
Wait a minute, the gourd has six joints; there is one in north, south, east, west, and another to represent the Great Wilderness. What does the final joint represent then?
