"That's exactly what happened!"
On the golden chessboard, the voice of Donghuang, whose whereabouts were unknown, reverberated for a long time.
"I doubt Zhou Wu would ever have guessed that his seemingly unfathomable actions back then would lead to the transcendence of the Five Elements. A transcendent-level expert wreaked havoc in the Outside. Right now, the entire God Realm is in a sea of fire. "
The Freedom God King's expression was as dark as a pool of stagnant water.
He'd miscalculated!
His meticulous plan hadn't even lasted six hours, yet so many unexpected situations had cropped up. He couldn't tolerate his own mistakes.
Crack.
The crisp sound of bones snapping filled the air.
"What's the point?"
The Five Elements Great Emperor sighed. Just now, the Freedom God King had broken his left index finger.
"I just wanted to clear my head."
The Freedom God King's expression was apathetic. His broken finger remained twisted. He took a deep breath, his expression no longer sinister. He sat cross-legged on the chessboard.
In truth, he was still angry, but more than that, he felt relieved.
There was no longer any need to worry about returning to the Outside. Even if he did, it was too late. That way, he'd be able to stay in peace and watch the Master of the Stars die.
The price was enormous!
The Southern God Paradise he'd spent so much effort on might be destroyed. But that didn't matter. So long as he lived, he'd rebuild it. So long as the Emperor Star died, he could accept these losses!
"The Emperor Star!"
… …
… …
… …
"You're still far from being able to stop me. Even if I can't use my Dao, you're still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
The tenth Divine Mountain had been destroyed beyond recognition. The entire mountain was in tatters. Only Ye Zichen's room remained unscathed.
Blood dripped uncontrollably from Zhou Wu's blade. He glared viciously ahead. Wu Di clutched his chest as if on the verge of death.
His body was already covered with saber scars, and the longsword in his hand was broken. The remaining half of the sword was also bent and no longer as sharp as it used to be.
Gu Li stood beside him. In the end, he'd broken his seal.
However, he didn't use starlight. Instead, he used pure spiritual power to fight alongside Wu Di.
"I'll heal them!"
Su Yan quickly stepped forward and infused her pure life force into their bodies, healing their injuries.
"Ha, how embarrassing. As expected, I'm not suited to boasting!"
Wu Di laughed self-deprecatingly. With the influx of life energy, his condition improved slightly.
"That's enough. Transcendence and half-step transcendence can't even be compared. It's already impressive that we've lasted this long," comforted Gu Li.
"It's far from enough!" said Wu Di.
Gu Li had waited until Wu Di and Zhou Wu exchanged blows for a hundred breaths of time before he sensed that Wu Di couldn't withstand Zhou Wu's attacks at all. That was why he decided to intervene.
However, Transcendents were truly too strong. They were so strong that even if the two of them worked together, they still wouldn't be able to gain an hour's time.
"How about …"
Gu Li narrowed his eyes. The instant they met, Wu Di shook his head vigorously.
He knew Gu Li meant to use starlight.
"Why? Do you know something?"
Under Gu Li's gaze, Wu Di hesitated for a moment.
"Someone told me that I can't let you use starlight!"
"Who is it?" Gu Li knit his brows.
Wu Di shook his head, then said, "I don't know either, but that person is definitely an expert. His words can't be wrong!"
"An expert? How strong? "
"My level of cultivation …." Wu Di pointed at himself. "That mysterious expert gave me this, and he only used a strand of his aura!"
"What?!"
Gu Li was stunned.
A strand of aura!
After all, Wu Di was a half-step transcendent, second only to the Transcendence realm.
Even monstrously talented geniuses would need to spend countless years and endless good fortune to be able to step into this realm. Yet Wu Di said that person had only used a strand of aura.
How was that possible?
"I'm telling the truth. Earlier, I was in seclusion in the divine time artifact when someone suddenly sent me a friend request. That startled me out of my seclusion. Then I saw someone add me as a friend."
"Continue!" said Gu Li. "I accepted that person's friend request. Then that person told me that my master was in trouble and that I had to go save him. At the same time, he sent me a red packet and told me to swallow it. When I open the red packet, there's a strand of energy inside! "Wu Di stared at Gu Li sternly." If I swallow that strand of energy, I'll become a God!
After you reached the Half-step Transcendence realm, that person asked me to hurry over and help you. He also told me not to let you use the starlight! "
Red Envelope!
A wisp of Qi!
Just who was this person? How could he have such methods?
Gu Li was dumbfounded. Based on what he knew, there was no way he could explain it.
"Can you let me see who that person is?"
"Of course."
As he spoke, Wu Di reached for his phone. However, at that moment, a blade aura descended from the sky.
"Damn it!"
Dong.
Wu Di and Gu Li pushed Su Yan back. Their spiritual power surged wildly, blocking Zhou Wu's attack.
Gu Li shouted through clenched teeth. They hadn't fully recovered yet, so they coughed up mouthfuls of blood at the same time.
"If we don't use it now, we won't have another chance!"
The Five Elements Elemental Sprites showed no signs of stopping. It was almost impossible for them to stop Zhou Wu with their crippled bodies.
Starlight!
This was Gu Li's final trump card!
He didn't know why Wu Di had become a half-step Transcendence expert in a single breath. What was the point of not letting him use starlight?
However, if he didn't use it now, he might never have another chance!
"Hmph, keep resisting. Aren't you very good at resisting?"
Zhou Wu roared in fury. Blade light rained down from the sky. Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions filled the air. Wu Di and Gu Li coughed up mouthfuls of blood, their faces drained of all color.
"You still want to stop me? Seriously …. Die!"
Zhou Wu seemed to have lost interest in talking to them. Perhaps it was because he'd wasted too much time with them. If he delayed any longer, Ye Zichen might succeed in transcending.
He couldn't give them any more time. He had to cut the Gordian knot!
"That's right, just like that!"
The Freedom God King narrowed his eyes. The way he saw it, Zhou Wu should've done this long ago. Wasting time would only cause more trouble for them.
All he had to do was use this blade. Once it landed, everything would be over.
… …
He raised his blade, but just as Zhou Wu was about to swing down ….
"Zhou Wu! Do you still want to make more mistakes? "
Suddenly, a feminine shout echoed through the sky. This familiar voice caused Zhou Wu to abruptly pull back his blade.
He stared blankly at the tearful figure in the sky. It was as if he'd been immobilized.
