"Senior, you're finally here!" Bai Xiaochun said, a very serious expression on his face. At the very least, he knew that this senior of his hadn't gone back on his word.
"I was here a while ago," Cheng Hao said, trying to come up with an excuse for being late. "It's just that you took too long to get to Heavenspan Island!"
Bai Xiaochun nodded in agreement with Cheng Hao. It didn't matter what the reason was, as long as he was here, everything else didn't matter.
After greeting Cheng Hao, Bai Xiaochun's eyes were bloodshot as he looked up into the sky and saw Daoist Heavenspan's tall, scholarly figure. His face was ashen as he glared at Cheng Hao and the Celestial Lord.
"Daoist Heavenspan!" As soon as the words left his mouth, they were like heaven-shaking thunder that echoed out in all directions!
The heavens collapsed and the earth split apart. Because of this, an exceptional battle was about to erupt!
"Bai Xiaochun!" Daoist Heavenspan said through gritted teeth. His expression was one of frustration and anger, and he was no less angry than Bai Xiaochun. After all, he had been dreaming of many things, but because of the gravekeeper and Bai Xiaochun, they had all been like flowers in the sky and the moon in the water.
After glaring angrily at Bai Xiaochun, Daoist Heavenspan turned to look at Cheng Hao. Compared to Bai Xiaochun, Cheng Hao, who didn't say a word, looked like a mortal, and seemed even more dangerous.
"Are you going to stop me too, Haotian?" The Celestial's eyes burned with rage, but at the same time, fear. Although he had never personally experienced Cheng Hao's strength, the pressure he had sensed on Heavenspan Island was enough to tell him that his cultivation base was higher than his own.
"I have no enmity with you," he said. "Actually, I couldn't be bothered to get involved in matters between the two of you. However, I did promise Bai Xiaochun that I would help him out. If you're willing to surrender, I can guarantee your safety. What do you say?"
Cheng Hao's expression was the same as ever, and yet, his energy continued to surge. By the time it reached its peak, Daoist Heavenspan and Bai Xiaochun could sense that Cheng Hao was the heavens, and the earth. His will was the will of heaven and earth, and his majesty was the heavenly tribulation!
"Haotian, I control the lands of Heavenspan," Yang Qi said. "I have the will of the world, and I've fought with the gravekeeper for most of my life. But he couldn't do anything to me. You might be strong, but you might not be able to take me down!"
Although Daoist Heavenspan was terrified of Cheng Hao's heavenly might, he wasn't willing to concede. Although Cheng Hao's cultivation base was higher than his, his battle prowess wasn't determined by cultivation base alone. Daoist Heavenspan was confident that his celestial magic was no weaker than his own.
Cheng Hao smiled and shook his head. "The will of the world?" If the world were in perfect condition, Cheng Hao might have been a bit afraid of Daoist Heavenspan. But this was a world on the verge of destruction, and there was no such thing as the will of the world. If Cheng Hao wanted to, he could use his martial dao fist to replace the will of the world. But what good would that do?
In this world that was about to die, the only thing he cared about was the World Origin Seed. As for becoming the World Lord or whatever, what was the use of that in this world that was filled with a destructive aura?
"Xiaochun," Bai Xiaochun said, "this world is on the verge of destruction. Go to the River-Defying Sect and take your friends and family with you. Take whatever you need with you. Leave Daoist Heavenspan to me!"
His eyes flickered with red light, and his killing intent surged. From the look of it, he wanted to stay here and end Daoist Heavenspan's life with his own hands!
"What? Don't tell me that the lives of your friends and family aren't as important as this guy?"
Cheng Hao frowned slightly. If Bai Xiaochun really wanted to kill someone, and didn't care about the lives of his friends and family, then Cheng Hao would be accused of going back on his word, and would leave. Someone like that wasn't worth his help.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Xiaochun glared hatefully at Daoist Heavenspan, then clasped hands and bowed deeply to Cheng Hao. "Senior," he said, "I'll leave everything here to you!"
With Cheng Hao's nod of approval, Bai Xiaochun transformed into a dazzling beam of light that shot through the air in a beautiful arc before disappearing off into the distance.
"Fellow Daoist," Daoist Heavenspan said, "Bai Xiaochun's Undying Live Forever Technique is complete. If you assimilate him, you'll get an Undying Live Forever Pill. Are you sure you don't care about that?" Daoist Heavenspan didn't give chase. Instead, he looked over at Cheng Hao with an enigmatic smile, his eyes shining brightly.
As far as Daoist Heavenspan was concerned, the reason Cheng Hao had come to this world, and had intervened in the final moment to prevent Daoist Heavenspan from killing Bai Xiaochun, was because of the same reason: the Undying Live Forever Pill.
As far as Daoist Heavenspan was concerned, Cheng Hao's scheming was far more profound than his or the Hell-Emperor's. Daoist Heavenspan and the Hell-Emperor had fought each other for thousands of years before finally succeeding in the Undying Live Forever Technique. As for Cheng Hao, he had been living in seclusion for so long, but now, he had come out to reap the fruits of his labor. Daoist Heavenspan and the Hell-Emperor were nothing more than pawns … pawns that could be used to concoct the Undying Live Forever Pill!
Cheng Hao could somewhat understand what Daoist Heavenspan was thinking. However, he didn't offer any further explanation. After all, he really was scheming. Although he wasn't scheming against Cheng Hao, he was scheming against heaven and earth. His goal was to acquire a world essence seed without being tainted by karma.
Seeing that Cheng Hao wasn't saying anything, Daoist Heavenspan assumed that he had acquiesced. His expression darkened, and even turned vicious!
"Why? All I want to do is leave this world. Why do all of you have to defy me? Plot against me? Force me to do what I want?
"My daughter betrayed me for the sake of bullshit love. She refused to become part of Bai Xiaochun's Undying Live Forever Pill. That old fogey, the Hell-Emperor, stood in my way for the sake of all living things. He refused to open the Worldgate for me. And now, even you, Haotian, are plotting against me!
"You're a powerful expert from outside of this world! Why didn't you live a good life? Why did you come to this world's cage to fight with me for the chance to leave? Are you all sick in the head or something?!
"For your own selfish reasons, you've hurt me over and over again. You've destroyed my hopes of leaving this world. You've blocked my path of seeking the Dao …. How could you be so selfish!?!?!?!?!?"
Hearing this, Cheng Hao was speechless.
