Chapter 581: Chapter 434: Full Firepower, Eradicate the Traitor, Obtain the Time-related Treasure (3,000 words, subscription and monthly pass requested)
The whole place burst into an uproar.
Everyone could probably sense Xu Gu’s strength.
Otherwise, the leader of the Five Tyrants of the Eastern Region, the Chaos Serpent, wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to arrange this, bringing in so many who were stronger than his four brothers, second only to the Divine Sons.
The young girl Qing’er from the Qingqiu Fox Clan wouldn’t have sensed something was amiss and voluntarily showed up to ease the tension, and to compromise, willing to put out the fire for Xu Gu alone.
But the surrounding powerhouses clearly did not expect Xu Gu to be so strong.
The pupils of Poisonous Son and two others also shrank.
Their figures, which had already burst forth, were forcefully stopped, and they each retreated, showing the intent to flee.
Yet, it was Qing’er from the Qingqiu Fox Clan whose beautiful eyes shone brightly, like glittering stars.
She clearly judged correctly.
This Human Clan youth was indeed absurdly strong!
“The Lord is indeed formidable.”
This statement, falling into the ears of Huang Tianba, Poisonous Son, Cross Knight, as well as Jian Changfeng, was full of mockery, causing their jealousy to flare up.
Xu Gu’s gaze was indifferent: “Who gave you the courage, to think that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could challenge me?”
He was truly fed up with these flies.
Just any random riffraff dared to set traps, preparing to kill him?
Watching those three wanting to escape, with a wave of his hand, the Battle Instrument emitted Divine Light, and the sword light illuminated the sky.
Containing endless Death intentions.
Heading towards Huang Tianba, Poisonous Son, and Cross Knight, it struck them down.
“How is this possible!”
Huang Tianba and the others were panic-stricken, their minds filled with endless fear, they wanted to flee, but their escape speed was not faster than Xu Gu’s attack speed.
“Xu Gu, you are going too far!”
“Death is upon you!”
These three, after all, had dominated the Divine Domain Continent for many long years, all fierce characters. Seeing no escape, they all used their Absolute Skills, with their auras instantly peaking.
“Light of the Yellow Springs!”
“Cross Judgment!”
“The Agony of Poison!”
The three stimulated their Divine Skills, with power and Rule Authority, all operating to the extreme.
Such might was enough to make the sky tremble, the earth roar, and space-time to be in chaos, the numerous creatures present were all shaken until their eyes bled.
However, such a fearsomely strong attack, upon colliding with Xu Gu’s sword light, instantly shattered.
Not just crushed, but their attacks, as if alive, and then had their lives taken away, dying completely.
This strange sensation, made everyone’s hearts tremble.
They were very clear about what was happening.
Death-type Rule Authority, and of a very high grade, very pure!
“I refuse to believe it!”
Huang Batian and Poisonous Son desperately resisted, but under this sword light, they were bisected, consciousness dissipated, vitality extinguished, completely dead.
They didn’t even have time for harsh words.
“This…”
Cross Knight swallowed, falling on his backside, his face full of horror, flesh trembling, quite out of his wits.
Xu Gu just glanced at him indifferently.
This was for the Human King.
However, he had already betrayed the Human Clan.
Later, he would settle scores with him.
Xu Gu’s gaze then fell on Jian Changfeng.
“No! You can’t kill me! I am the Prospective son-in-law of the Sword-man Clan! My fiancée is the Sword-man Clan’s Saintess! She is also a Goddess-level existence!”
Still pierced by Wind Gang, Jian Changfeng, unable to escape, watched the scene before him; he was already scared nearly witless, tears streaming down his face, screaming furiously, using the Sword-man Clan to threaten Xu Gu.
“Sword-man Clan? Are they stronger than the Mechanical Sea God?”
Xu Gu’s gaze was ice cold, and with a slap of his hand.
The terrifyingly oppressive Wind Gang descended.
It seemed like just a casual wave, but the might was enough to destroy a mountain of ten thousand meters.
Feeling his imminent death, Jian Changfeng gritted his teeth and sacrificed a silver Sword Talisman.
When this talisman appeared, Xu Gu’s originally nonchalant expression suddenly condensed:
“Is this… the aura of Time Authority?”
Xu Gu’s mouth corners lifted.
The Sword Talisman that Jian Changfeng sacrificed was silver-white, like jade and like metal, sparkling with dazzling luster.
It was inscribed with the character for “sword” and circulated with a vast force, extremely mysterious.
Time-type Rule Authority has always been very mysterious, with few able to recognize it.
If not for Xu Gu’s comprehension of the Time Dao Rule Authority, also a Supreme Authority, he might not have been able to detect it.
Before, Xu Gu was still troubled, uncertain how to increase the purity of the Time Authority. After comprehending for so long, the purity was still at 1! Even the Tao Rules he comprehended later reached the purity level of 5!
Now it was like getting something for nothing!
Boom!
Xu Gu activated the Time Dao Rule Authority, constructing a giant rule hand, directly pressing down onto Jian Changfeng.
Originally, Jian Changfeng could have used this treasure to traverse a short period of time and escape.
However, there was naturally no possibility of escape in front of Xu Gu.
Jian Changfeng’s body instantly shattered.
But, his Sword Talisman fell down, caught by Xu Gu’s hand.
“Interesting, it’s not one-time use.”
Xu Gu was somewhat surprised.
It was clear that even in the Sword-man Clan, this talisman was a rare Treasure.
It’s clear that Jian Changfeng is indeed very favored by his unmarried fiancée.
Xu Gu clasped the Sword Talisman, activating the Power of Time to refine it.
Almost instantaneously, he absorbed the segment of the Power of Time contained within it.
[Power of Time Authority Purity +1]
[Current Power of Time Authority Purity: 2]
Xu Gu’s lips curled upwards, evidently very pleased.
Since ancient times, space has been king, and time has been emperor!
Should one be capable of controlling time, then their might would be boundless!
“This Sword Talisman, although precious, is standardized; it seems that within the Sword-man Clan, there are quite a few such Treasures. When I have time, I must pay a visit to the Sword-man Clan.”
Xu Gu’s eyes slightly twinkled, having already decided his future course of action.
“Hiss!”
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
The crowd stared dumbfounded at the scene before them, eventually all were utterly astounded.
Amazed by Xu Gu’s strength, it’s known that these four were second only to the four Divine Sons in terms of prowess, yet they were so easily slain by Xu Gu?
It was like a dream!
When has the Human Clan ever been this fierce?
First was Champion Marquis achieving demigod status, and now the young man Xu Gu who awakened less than a year ago, crushing all his adversaries! Wiping out an Intermediate King with a wave of his hand!
At this moment,
The Cross Knight shivered violently, like a tiny rabbit facing a dragon.
“I am the Human King, we are of the same kind…”
The Cross Knight swallowed hard, feeling the terrifying might of Xu Gu—vast and boundless, as grand as the cosmos, realizing that this was an entity beyond his capability to provoke, and he started to claim kinship.
“No, you are a traitor.” Xu Gu said indifferently: “They’ve died just once and that’s sufficient. Because, our stances differ. You deserve to die a thousand times over.”
“No!”
The very words from Xu Gu frightened the Cross Knight to the point of turning pale, his Divine Soul nearly erupted, trembling with fear.
Xu Gu watched him, indifferently asking:
“What’s your relationship with the Ascension Sect?”
The Ascension Sect is the largest traitor organization within the Human Clan’s territory, and the identity of its leader is certainly not simple.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so vexing.
Like an adhesive plaster.
“I can’t say…” The Cross Knight shivered, not daring to speak.
Xu Gu’s gaze sharpened, his murderous intent materialized, and it was as if, in a vague sense, the Death itself was descending from the heavens, about to crush the Cross Knight.
The Cross Knight was greatly alarmed, shivering all over, sensing a terrible doom.
This was going to be endless torment.
He immediately screamed: “It’s Sovereign Wang! My previous boss was Sovereign Wang!”
“Sovereign Wang!”
“Sovereign Wang may be a Human King, but he has carved out his own domain in Divine Domain Continent, reigning as king over his mountain, living quite comfortably, a rare force that could integrate well with the local powers.
“In Divine Domain Continent, if the Human Clan faces some local disputes, they still require his intervention.”
“Unexpectedly, he is the biggest traitor! Pretending to be friendly with the Human Clan on the surface, but secretly cultivating traitors?”
The crowd was taken aback.
However, when discussing it, their eyes all revealed a sense of wariness.
This Sovereign Wang was a ruthless figure!
His strength was also amongst the top in the ranks of the Upper Kings! Most crucially, he’s still young, not even a few hundred years old, and within the group of Upper Kings, definitely considered vigorous!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such an audacious title!
How could a weakling ever claim to live freely?
“Sovereign Wang?” Xu Gu muttered to himself.
This name certainly had an air of unrivaled dominance, not weaker than the names of the likes of Saint Zhou, Sea Emperor, and others.
“Spread the word, investigate this Sovereign Wang’s background. If there are indeed problems, then we’ll pluck him out.” Xu Gu said indifferently.
This investigation, of course, would not have any issues. It was nothing more than finding an excuse to move against Sovereign Wang. After all, on the surface, he has also provided assistance to the Human Clan.
The Secret Realm had both entry and exit points, so passing messages wasn’t difficult.
Of course, it wouldn’t be too easy either. After all, the Human Clan, except for within their own territories, hadn’t put much effort into the sprawling uninhabited areas of the Wilderness Continent.
And these Car Servants of his had quite limited influence on Divine Domain Continent.
“It seems that enslavement—or rather, recruitment—of some indigenous Goddesses is necessary,” Xu Gu thought to himself.
After speaking, he looked indifferently at the Cross Knight.
“I confessed everything, please don’t kill…”
The Cross Knight pleaded for mercy.
But as his words fell, the life force from his body had already dissipated.
He fell dead on the spot.
“Originally, you deserved to die a hundred times and suffer torture. However, since you confessed truthfully, I will grant you death,” Xu Gu said calmly.
“As expected of the hope of the Human Clan who dares to confront the deities of Mechanical Sea. Such strength is greatly admired by me, willing to become your follower, to play the profound music of the world for you day and night.”
Qing’er from the Qingqiu Fox Clan expressed endless admiration, clearly submitting herself to a low position. She had already decided to follow Xu Gu.
Even seeing her attitude, those present had no doubt that whatever Xu Gu would ask her to do, she would comply.
All the male creatures seemed as if they had lost their souls.
They were extremely envious of Xu Gu, jealous and resentful.
Some female creatures were very envious of Qing’er, to be able to gain Xu Gu’s favor.
To everyone’s surprise, Xu Gu indifferently said:
“Follow me? You’re not worthy. You’re not even fit to serve me as a slave.
“Your clan’s Saintess or clan leader must kneel before me and apologize, and only then will the incident of your Qingqiu Fox Clan’s ambush to kill me be considered past.
“Otherwise, the Qingqiu Fox Clan will have no need to exist.”
