In the blink of an eye, the entire world seemed to fall silent.
Zhou Wu saw it!
Only now did Gu Li realize what Zhou Wu's smile meant. He hadn't been fooling around at all. Instead, Zhou Wu had been toying with him, toying with his arrogance.
The elemental spirits' expressions shifted as they formed their arms. However, there was no turning back. The moment they started, they couldn't stop.
"Buy time for us!"
The fire spirit's transmission reverberated through Gu Li's sea of consciousness.
Buy time!
Gu Li naturally knew he had to buy time, but how could he possibly win an hour from Zhou Wu?
This wasn't Gu Li's self-imposed limit.
Nevermind him, even if all the emperors of the god race arrived, they might not even be able to win an hour from Zhou Wu.
"Let me take a good look at these kids."
Up in the sky, Zhou Wu rubbed his eyebrows. His expression was so rich it could be made into emojis.
"Back in the day, the Five Elements Elemental Spirits were what the Five Elements Emperor dreamed of. If he were still alive, he'd definitely be excited to see these kids."
His calm voice echoed through the sky. He narrowed his eyes, lowered his hand, and looked down at Gu Li, who was standing on the ground, his body tense.
"Can you tell me what they're doing?" Yang Qi asked. They're not trying to help Ye Zichen transcend, are they? "
Gu Li's expression froze. When Zhou Wu saw this, he chuckled and arched his brows.
"It seems I was right. No wonder those two Auxiliary Stars tried their best to delay me even though they knew they were doomed. They were trying to buy time for Star Lord Ye to transcend."
The tornado above the city grew even stronger. Just this gale alone was enough to destroy the Spirit Array inscribed by the Array Formation Grandmaster, causing the entire city to collapse. Boulders weighing tens of thousands of kilograms were sent flying into the sky.
The strong winds caused Gu Li's star power to surge. Su Yan and Xiao Yumei immediately rushed to Ye Zichen's bedside to resist the onslaught of the wind. They didn't want to delay the elemental spirits' progress.
"Heh, what a pity. It looks like you'd have succeeded in another hour. You must be feeling sorry for me too. Why didn't I come an hour later? "
… …
He had completely seen through them!
Whether it was the intentions of the Five Elements Elemental Spirits or the time they needed, Zhou Wu had completely seen through them.
"Do you want this emperor to give you an hour?" Zhou Wu suddenly asked.
Why did he say that?
Teasing?
Judging from the current situation, there was an eighty percent chance that they were just toying with him.
Xiao Yumei and the others were a bit angry. Things had already come to this, yet they still wanted to gain pleasure with words!
"It would be best if you could!"
At that moment, Gu Li narrowed his eyes and snorted.
"I'm just afraid that our God Emperor doesn't have that kind of courage and insight!"
"Why?" "The God Emperor must be worried about whether Ye Zichen will transcend as well. If he can transcend, your existence will no longer be transcendent, and you might even be suppressed. Everything you have painstakingly built up will vanish in an instant. Thinking about it, with Lord God Emperor's temperament, he would definitely not dare to make such a decision.
It's decided, right? "
"Are you trying to provoke me?"
Zhou Wu couldn't help but laugh uproariously. "It seems you really are at your wit's end. To think you'd even resort to such a low-level tactic!"
"Then would the God Emperor dare?" Gu Li looked at him, his eyes shining.
"I wouldn't dare!"
In truth, Gu Li had already explained everything for Zhou Wu. It was just as he'd said.
Zhou Wu really was afraid!
No one knew whether or not Ye Zichen would transcend after awakening, or how strong he'd become once he did!
Zhou Wu didn't like doing things he wasn't confident in!
He could have easily solved all the problems, so why did he have to find unnecessary trouble for himself?
If he got rid of Ye Zichen and Gu Li, he'd steal their celestial fate. Then he'd be the only transcendent since ancient times to possess two Emperor Stars.
That way, he wouldn't even need to worry about the God Kings of the Outside Realm. Who knew who would be his master then?
That's right ….
Zhou Wu had never considered becoming a dog from the start!
If you could be a human, why would you want to be a dog?
"As expected."
Gu Li couldn't help but mutter to himself. Provocation was a low-level tactic. He'd have to try to find out if it worked.
He'd tried, and he'd seen the results.
Zhou Wu hadn't succeeded!
In that case, there was only one thing they could do ….
"You two …. Guard this place well. Don't let Zhou Wu's aura destroy the fusion of the five elemental fairies."
Gu Li glanced at Xiao Yumei and the others.
"Then you …."
"I've decided to be a hero for once. For better or for worse, I'm one of the Twin Emperors. I'd like to see if Ye Zichen's heroism is really addictive."
Suddenly, he tore off the ribbon binding Gu Li's hair.
As he did, it was as if Gu Li's seal had been broken.
Emperor, Emperor, Sovereign, half-step transcendent ….
In just a few breaths of time, Gu Li's cultivation soared like mad, all the way to the half-step transcendent realm.
"I knew it. How could a majestic Emperor Star only have emperors?" Zhou Wu's expression didn't change in the face of Gu Li's rapid rise in cultivation.
"Compared to you, a transcendent, I'm still far too weak."
Gu Li's long hair trailed the ground, and his grey eyes had turned azure.
Turbulent waves of energy radiated from his body, but anyone with the slightest bit of insight could tell that his aura was incredibly unstable. It was as if his cultivation didn't belong to him at all, but had been borrowed from someone else.
"This isn't your strength!" Zhou Wu said when he saw it.
"Of course not. If I were half-step transcendent, Ye Zichen's starlight would've been mine long ago. Why would I leave it for you?" snorted Gu Li.
"You want to defeat me with borrowed power …."
"I'm not defeating you. I just want to keep you occupied for an hour," interrupted Gu Li.
Gu Li interrupted Zhou Wu. At that moment, the blood-red sky suddenly lit up with starlight.
The North Micro Emperor Star's radiance blazed, and dazzling starlight poured into Gu Li's body.
Gradually, the blood-red light enveloping Gu Li's body exploded, and his handsome face contorted into a sinister expression.
This power didn't belong to him!
He'd never experienced this kind of power before. Suddenly, such power poured into him. It was naturally a huge burden.
Keeping Zhou Wu occupied for an hour ….
He didn't even know if Gu Li's body could endure such a burden for more than an hour.
But ….
He still had to try.
If he tried, there was a chance. If he didn't, there was no chance.
The influx of power caused Gu Li's face to contort in pain, but he gritted his teeth. It was just that ….
It disappeared!
Just a second ago, Gu Li's berserk power had vanished without a trace.
His long hair fell to his shoulders, and his azure eyes returned to grey. His strength had gone from half-step transcendent to emperor level.
Only then did everyone notice that the band at the end of Gu Li's hair had been reattached at some point.
Xiao Yumei, Su Yan, Gu Li, Kui Lin, and the others didn't understand.
Only Zhou Wu stared intently at the space next to Gu Li. Then, a black-robed man stepped out of the space.
