Luo Xiu was knocked back dozens of ters, landing heavily on the ground.
The Mysterious Central Sword slipped from his hand, spinning into the sky before plunging straight down and embedding steadily in the earth.
The air suddenly grew silent.
Luo Qingxian and the other won all opened their almond-shaped eyes wide, finding it hard to believe.
For a mont, it was difficult to accept as reality.
After refining and absorbing the Divine Husk of the Demon God, Luo Xiu's physical body was now nearly that of a Divine Body!
Such a body, combined with the Mysterious Central Sword, a top-tier Divine Artifact, astonishingly couldn't cut through this seemingly ordinary iron chain!
And even worse, he himself was knocked back!
At this mont.
Compared to Luo Qingxian and the others, Dou Dou and Tu Tu seed carefree, apparently paying no attention to Luo Xiu as they happily ran over to pick up the fallen Mysterious Central Sword, then began to fight over who would play with it first.
Luo Xiu got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and gazed intently at the iron chain on Gentle's right ankle, lost in thought.
At this mont, he felt sowhat uncomfortable, a bit vexed, slightly frustrated... because he failed to show off.
Just now, when he swung his sword down, it didn't feel like he was striking an iron chain, but as though there was another invisible Mysterious Central Sword clashing with his, rebounding the full force of his strike back at him!
Gentle looked down at the chain on her ankle, which didn't have a single mark left on it, and sighed silently, filled with disappointnt.
"It seems I oversimplified things."
Luo Xiu said, "Let try again."
He just couldn't accept this obstacle.
With the Four-Colored Glazed Thunder and Divine Power, he refused to believe it couldn't be cut!
Gentle shook her head slightly and said, "I rember my father saying that this chain was left by that guy, not even my father could break free. And there's a Cave Heaven Principle here limiting things, you can only exert the Cultivation Strength of the White Emperor."
After a pause, she added, "This sword can cut the chain, but the person wielding it cannot."
Her words made Luo Xiu a bit uncomfortable, because no man likes to be told he's incapable, especially by a woman.
However, Luo Xiu had to admit the truth.
Gentle looked at Luo Xiu and said, "Unless you achieve the Emperor's throne."
Luo Xiu said, "Then I'll co back to save you after I beco Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Gentle suddenly smiled.
"Though I haven't left this place, I've heard from my father about many things—cultivators of all races want to beco emperors, but how many truly reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao?"
"Especially in this era where the Primal Dao Qi has nearly vanished."
"So you might as well forget it, don't waste your efforts, maybe this is just my destiny."
Luo Xiu gazed at her, "But I have a problem... I always keep my promises."
"Right now, I indeed don't have the ability to cut your chain, so anything I say is aningless. But it's not about what I say, it's about what I do... you wait, that day will surely co."
Hearing this, Gentle's red eyes trembled slightly, staring blankly at Luo Xiu.
Suddenly, she smiled, "Then I'll wait for you."
Before, her smile was filled with disdain and disbelief, a resigned helplessness.
But now, her smile was one of hope, and of being touched.
"Chen Shuisheng, thank you for being willing to save ."
Luo Xiu said, "My na is Luo Xiu."
Gentle asked, confused, "Then why does the Elf Queen call you Chen Shuisheng?"
Luo Xiu replied, "Because she's silly."
"Then I will call you Chen Shuisheng too, it sounds better than Luo Xiu."
Luo Xiu turned to leave, "Until we et again."
Gentle watched his back and said, "If you're going to find that old Bang Ma, it shouldn't be so easy. Several troubleso guys up ahead aren't limited by the Cave Heaven Principle, they all have the strength of a Venerable One."
Luo Xiu waved his hand, "Got it."
Gentle said, "Rember what you just promised . You must live to see that day, don't die!"
"..."
On the stretch of barren land surrounded by towering peaks.
Dou Dou happily ran toward Luo Xiu, offering him the Mysterious Central Sword.
"Chen Shuisheng, returning your sword, it's not fun at all, too fierce."
Luo Xiu took the Mysterious Central Sword, suddenly recalling what Gentle had said, and asked, "By the way, why do you insist on calling Chen Shuisheng?"
Dou Dou said, "Because it's one more word than 'Luo Xiu'."
"So?"
"So every ti I call out your na, I can say one more word and talk to you a little longer."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu's gaze softened, and he patted her head, "You're really silly."
Dou Dou used her little fists to thump on his leg, pouting, "How can you say that about Dou Dou!"
...
...
Yan Huang Star.
Imperial Palace.
Lin Zhi, in charge of garrison duties, hurriedly entered the grand hall, the seemingly heavy tallic Battle Armor on him not slowing his pace in the slightest.
"Your Ladyship, Princess Chang, an enemy is approaching!"
At this mont.
Wei Qingkuang and Luo Xian were in the hall discussing matters, with laughter and a harmonious atmosphere.
But Lin Zhi's arrival broke this relaxed atmosphere.
Wei Qingkuang narrowed her eyes slightly, asking, "Heaven Azure Empire?"
Lin Zhi knelt on one knee and said, "Just now, the 'Eye of Starry Sky' of the Heavenly Craft Institute detected a large fleet heading towards Yan Huang Star, estimated to arrive in two days!"
After a pause, he added, "The Poyun Warship is among them, so Your Ladyship, this ti it's probably the old general."
Upon hearing this, Wei Qingkuang's expression turned serious, exchanging a glance with Luo Xian.
Luo Xian said, "I didn't expect that old man to co out of retirent."
Wei Qingkuang looked at Lin Zhi, "Send the order, prepare for defense!"
"Yes!"
"Actually, there's no need for such trouble."
At this mont, a boy who looked about seven or eight years old walked into the hall.
The boy wore a tattered black robe, death aura swirling around him, with a scythe on his shoulder.
It was Lin Tong!
During this ti, his body had grown.
Trailing behind him was a little girl who looked about the sa age.
It was Immortal!
Wei Qingkuang looked at Lin Tong and said, "You two, as gods enshrined by Yanhuang Empire, must not lightly put yourselves at risk."
Lin Tong put down the scythe, his face full of dissatisfaction, "I say, sister-in-law, every day I have to pretend to be a god, going around with Immortal, holding court and dealing decently with those common folks, I'm suffocating, can't I just go have a bit of fun?"
Immortal waved her little fists, "It's too boring, I want to fight!"
Wei Qingkuang glanced at Luo Xian.
Luo Xian said, "It's just as well, two days is too short to prepare for battle, so you two go and hold off the Tianqing Fleet, but prioritize your own safety above all else."
Lin Tong laughed, "No need to prepare for battle, I'll just wipe them out!"
Immortal waved her little fists, "Burn them all!"
...
anwhile.
In the vast, endless starry sky.
A massive fleet advanced orderly along the Tianhe track.
A colossal white warship was surrounded by thousands of flying boats and giant beasts in its center.
This was the warship of the Heavenly Qing Old General, Gu Yuelong—the Poyun Warship!
Poyun rises to the sky, shaking Jiuxiao, the bloodthirsty War Halberd sweeping the universe!
In the past, every ascent of the Poyun Warship ended in victory, never a defeat!
At this mont.
In a spacious and comfortable cabin.
An elderly man in white stood with his cane, gazing at the light screen in the void ahead, lost in thought.
The scene displayed on the screen was the Divine Sense image transmitted back to the empire by the fleet led by Zhang He not long ago.
Zhu Yu respectfully stood behind the old man, saying, "General Gu, it's said that there might be a god on Yan Huang Star. Are you really confident?"
Gu Yuelong smiled slightly, stroking his beard, "The order from His Majesty, we simply execute it."
He continued, "This is likely a protracted battle, I have a hunch it's also the first battle of the great chaos of the Three Thousand Worlds."
Zhu Yu said proudly, "Our Heavenly Qing War Halberd, invincible and unparalleled in the world!"
Gu Yuelong maintained his smile, "I suppose the god you ntioned should also be here."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu's gaze shook.
A ssenger clad in armor hurried up to Gu Yuelong, "General Gu, enemies are attacking!"
Gu Yuelong wielded his cane as he exited the cabin, "In my lifeti, I have yet to slay a god."
"..."
