A storm was brewing in the Pantheon of Immortality's territory.
Paper couldn't contain fire. News of the destruction of the Palace of Immortality and the death of the God Of The Underworld spread to the various temples.
This was especially true for the twenty or so temples in the north. Their hallmasters summoned two thousand elite godkings and hurried to certain regions, as if a great battle was imminent.
This caused the citizens of the branch halls to be filled with fear and worry.
Almost ninety-nine percent of them didn't know the inside story. They only knew that the Palace of Immortality had been destroyed and a hallmaster killed. This was an earth-shattering event.
Almost everyone subconsciously believed that the culprit behind all this was the Cosmos Temple.
In their eyes, only the neighboring Taiyu Shrine had the strength and means to do so.
As a matter of fact, the Cosmos Sacred Hall was the main reason why the situation had developed to this point.
If not for the Taiyu Shrine keeping the Pantheon of Immortality in check, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
… …
Just as the Pantheon of Immortality was mobilizing all of its forces to hunt down Ji Tianxing, the Taiyu Shrine's hallmasters were about to arrive at the Palace of Immortality.
They could've gone straight to the Palace of Immortality to find the Immortal God Emperor and Kenshin, then find a way to capture the Kenshin.
However, the Taiyu God Emperor had always been cautious and wouldn't act rashly.
Before arriving at the Palace of Immortality, he sent the hallmasters to gather information.
In the end, all three of them received important information.
Only then did they learn that the Immortal God Emperor and the God Of The Underworld had already returned to the Palace of Immortality.
However, the God Of The Underworld was unlucky enough to be hunted down by a mysterious expert.
Now, the Immortal God Emperor and the other Hall Masters were chasing after the mysterious expert with all their might towards the North.
Such an important piece of news shook God Emperor Tai Yu to the core. He even felt excited.
The fact that Kenshin was able to accurately intercept and kill the God Of The Underworld was a testament to his strength and skill.
The stronger Kenshin was, the more it proved that Tai Yu God Emperor's judgment was correct. That guy was the chosen one!
This made Tai Yu God Emperor and the others even more determined to capture Kenshin.
Thus, God Emperor Tai Yu decisively ordered the warships to turn around and chase north at top speed.
The temple lords were confused and asked Taiyu God Emperor what was going on.
Tai Yu God Emperor explained the situation to them. The temple lords were excited and eager to give it a try.
One of the Hall Masters had some misgivings and could not help but ask, "Great Hall Master, the Netherworld Divine Emperor has just joined the Immortal Shrine and it seems like it hasn't been long.
Even if Kenshin destroyed the Palace of Immortality, the God Emperor Tai Yu wouldn't have such a big reaction and come out in full force to hunt him down, right?
Do you think the God Of The Underworld might have noticed Kenshin's extraordinariness and believed him to be the chosen one? "
Tai Yu God Emperor nodded. "The God Emperor Tai Yu is no fool. How could he not know this?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have mobilized so many people and asked all the branches in the north to gather manpower.
Actually, it doesn't matter if he guesses that Kenshin is the chosen one. That's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about … is whether Kenshin can escape his pursuit. "
The second temple lord frowned in thought. "What if the God Emperor Tai Yu catches up to Kenshin and they fight? What if the God Emperor Tai Yu kills Kenshin in a fit of rage?"
The other Palace Masters nodded their heads, revealing the same worry.
Tai Yu God Emperor Tai Yu raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on his lips. "I'm worried about this as well, but … given the God Emperor Tai Yu's style, he shouldn't be that reckless. As for Kenshin, if he really is the chosen one, he must have the means, strength, and opportunity to escape death.
Alright, don't think too much about it. Just rest up and prepare for battle. "
Since the Head Palace Master was so confident and full of confidence in the Sword God, the other Palace Masters dispelled their worries.
…
The Godslayer Battleship sped north. In order to reach maximum speed, it didn't activate any concealment or aura concealment formations.
Bai Long focused on steering the ship, vigilantly observing the surroundings. He didn't dare relax.
He knew that his master's revenge had been avenged and his wish fulfilled.
Now, all he needed to do was escape the pursuit of the Pantheon of Immortality and escape into the chaos sea. Then, he would be able to fly freely in the vast sky and swim freely in the vast sea.
This was the most critical moment. No accidents could happen.
Ji Tianxing wasn't in the cockpit of the ship. He was in the distorted spacetime of the Jiutian Ten Absolutes Pagoda, silently cultivating and recovering his divine power.
Even though he had temporarily shaken off the pursuit of the God Emperor Tai Yu, he knew that the God Emperor Tai Yu wouldn't let him go.
However, he knew that the Immortal God Emperor would not give up so easily. He was still in danger.
He had to recover his divine power as soon as possible so that he could face the next encirclement.
One day, two days, three days ….
Five days had passed in the outside world. The Godslayer Battleship had also crossed the territory of two branches and was about to enter the third branch.
The journey was rather peaceful. Although some Godly King realm guards and patrols had discovered traces of the Godslayer Battleship, those Godly King realm guards and patrols weren't strong enough.
They couldn't catch up to the Godslayer Battleship. Even if they released their mystical abilities, they couldn't hurt the Godslayer Battleship at all.
Until the morning of the sixth day.
The Godslayer Battleship had just entered the territory of a branch and was flying above a green grassland.
At this moment, divine light lit up on the left. It was like a five-colored cloud that flew over.
Bai Long immediately perked up and became much more vigilant.
Even though it was still a little far away, he couldn't see who was in the cloud.
However, at this time, almost all unknown people were enemies.
Therefore, Bai Long didn't hesitate. He directly controlled the Godslayer Battleship and accelerated to the right.
The target of the five-colored cloud was also very obvious. When it saw the Godslayer Battleship speeding up, it actually accelerated and chased after it, as if it wanted to stop the Godslayer Battleship.
Both of them were flying diagonally, and the distance between them was constantly shrinking. Unless the Godslayer Battleship's speed doubled, they would soon meet and cross paths.
Bai Long couldn't possibly turn around and fly back just to avoid the cloud.
Therefore, he could only activate the battleship's defensive barrier and activate the divine cannons, ready to fire.
The three hundred and sixty cannons were all accumulating terrifying power. They flickered with dazzling divine light.
Bai Long also hoped that with the deterrence of these divine cannons, the people in the five-colored cloud would know the difficulty and retreat.
Unfortunately, the few hundred Godly King realm experts in the five-colored cloud clearly knew what kind of mission they were carrying and what kind of terrifying experts they were about to face.
Even though the aura emitted by the divine cannons made them feel terrified and fearful, they didn't retreat at all.
Ten breaths later.
The five-colored cloud and the Godslayer Battleship were finally about to meet. The distance between the two was only about twenty thousand kilometers.
At this moment, Bai Long activated the array and decisively opened fire.
