Chapter 704: Chapter 537: Ambushed on the Road
“This has already violated the rules, breached the proscriptions; regardless of the outcome, one must not intervene in the mortal world again, unless it is when the great calamity begins to stir,” the elder in black robes said indifferently.
Their status was too transcendent.
They also possessed a power that could plunge the entire world into panic.
Should they appear too early in the mortal realm, they would undoubtedly be besieged by all!
By then, no matter how domineering they were, they would face annihilation.
Even this time, the Black Dragon he employed was a rib bone he had removed before he cultivated the Netherworld Body and inherited the Netherworld King’s power.
It did not contain the power of Deformation within.
Despite that, the Black Dragon had lived in this realm for too long and had become slightly tainted with ‘Deformation,’ but it was very dilute; the Divine Domain Continent had many such entities.
For instance, divine bodies that perished countless ages ago, infected by the power of Deformation, whose internal Deformation power lingers to this day.
“Very well then.”
Ning Fang nodded, his tone full of pride, “But with Xiao Qi and Xiao Chaos’ intervention, as well as the assistance from Dragon Uncle, that person will surely be suppressed! Revenge for sister will be had.”
…
All beings from the Divine Domain Continent were on tenterhooks.
Although,
Xu Gu said he would visit the Sword-man Clan.
Yet, whether he truly would go remained unknown.
If he didn’t visit the Sword-man Clan but instead approached other forces,
wouldn’t the unfortunately chosen force go mad?
Having witnessed Xu Gu level the Yang Star, who would dare to provoke him!
“However, if he truly visits the Sword-man Clan, he might be in for a tough time.”
“The legitimate son of the Sword-man Clan, who is also Ning Chen’s brother, has been accepted as apprentice by a peerless expert from the Mechanical Sea.”
“That expert is so formidable that even the Divine Court is exceedingly wary of him.”
“This time Xu Gu will definitely suffer!”
Many people discussed among themselves.
Unbeknownst to them, Xu Gu had become the center of all discussions.
Every word and every action of his influenced the hearts and minds of countless beings.
“Master, have you truly decided to go to the Sword-man Clan?”
“My family is very ferocious.”
Ning Chen voiced his concern:
“My brother has been taken as a disciple by an extraordinary expert, an invincible presence even among the Mechanical Sea.
“Even gods seem to coexist on equal terms with him.
“Ever since my brother was taken away, the Sword-man Clan’s status has skyrocketed, not just in the Divine Domain Continent but also possessing a certain standing in the Mechanical Sea.”
He was utterly loyal to Xu Gu and naturally exerted all his effort in Xu Gu’s best interest.
However, with the current circumstances, he truly didn’t recommend Xu Gu visit the Sword-man Clan.
“Can’t you convince the Sword-man Clan to directly submit to the master?”
Snow Woman chuckled lightly.
Her words carried a hint of mockery.
You said so much, isn’t it just because you’re of no use?
If you were of any use, would Xu Gu face danger from your clan?
“This…”
Ning Chen shook his head: “I am just a legitimate daughter, not the clan leader. In fact, even the clan leader of the Sword-man Clan can’t make the decision to pledge allegiance to the master.”
No well-established force could operate as a dictatorship.
Even minor matters require discussion and voting by all the higher-ups, with the minority submitting to the majority.
Let alone such a monumental matter as renouncing autonomy to pledge fealty to Xu Gu.
Those old fossils within the clan, even if you beat them to death, they wouldn’t agree.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Xu Gu said nonchalantly:
“I do not fear danger.”
This was the truth. With Snow Woman and Lei Xiao as maids, Champion Marquis as Protector, the protective power of the last Yang God, the Creator’s Ark to alert him of dangers, and the system to turn decay into magic!
What did he have to fear?
Nothing at all!
With such circumstances, if he were still timid and cautious, preferring to play it safe, then there would be no need to compete for supremacy.
Just play the turtle then.
“I really want to see just how terrifying the Sword-man Clan actually is!”
…
As Xu Gu prepared to head toward the Sword-man Clan, Lei Xiao’s gaze narrowed slightly, and she sent a private message to Xu Gu:
“There’s a brat who has been spying on master.”
With that, she sent over the image of the other party to Xu Gu.
The screen displayed a sneaky brat, and it was none other than the self-proclaimed disciple of the Yang God, the true son of this generation of the Human Clan—Chu Kuangren.
However, at this moment, the way he looked at Xu Gu was full of envy and jealousy, as well as an unimaginable darkness.
Very profound.
“There’s a bit of the aura from the predecessor Yang God’s lineage.” Xu Gu’s brows furrowed slightly, sensing a hint of the Yang God’s presence on Chu Kuangren.
But it wasn’t from his bloodline.
It was more like he had cultivated the inheritance of the Yang God.
Thinking this, his gaze turned toward the statue in the Yang God Hall.
“He must have been here for quite some time.
“He is a successor of the predecessor Yang God.
“He has developed hostility towards me.
“He is very likely to make a move against me later.
“All these, the predecessor Yang God should be able to perceive and deduce, but has not warned me, such as leaving the other’s life or anything of the sort.”
Xu Gu’s eyes flickered as he concluded:
“If he dares to provoke me, I can kill him. It won’t affect the big picture.”
That was his conjecture.
In fact, it was also the truth.
Since that was the case, he didn’t bother with this person.
If he can’t pose a threat to me, when he seeks death, I’ll grant it to him.
…
Xu Gu collected his emotions, no longer paying attention to Chu Kuangren, and set forth on the journey to the Sword-man Clan along with Snow Woman Lei Xiao and others.
On this journey,
It could be said to have attracted attention from all quarters.
Especially the moment they left the Yang Star, countless pairs of eyes were watching him.
No choice, the current Xu Gu was simply the most dazzling existence in the entire universe.
Every move he made would catch the attention of countless creatures.
After all, a slight carelessness could lead to the annihilation of a massive entity like Yang Star, taken over by the Human Clan.
Who would dare not be careful!
The road was long and far. Though the Divine Domain Continent was called a continent, it was more like numerous stars gathered together to form a Star Domain.
Only, what connected the stars was not emptiness, but land.
Thus, ambushes by the Starry Sky Pirates were inevitable along the way.
However, they were all easily erased by Xu Gu’s Car Servant.
“Master, be careful, something about the atmosphere is off.”
Snow Woman cautioned.
Although she had slumbered for countless years, her perception remained, sharply detecting something unusual.
It was too quiet.
It had the feeling of the calm before a storm.
“I know.” Xu Gu nodded, indicating that he understood.
No sooner had he spoken, than his brow furrowed as he looked ahead:
“Can’t hold back anymore, huh?”
In front of them, the figures of several powerful beings emerged, their eyes carrying a testing intention.
