Book 5: Chapter 195: Rescuing Ao Shun
Above a vast sea south of the fusang tree:
Many experts flew in the air, clearly separated into two camps.
One side had holy light covering them. This group consisted of countless angels. Some flew, flapping their wings; some stood on flying ships and held weapons while looking coldly at the other side.
The other side had countless majestic dragons and sub-dragons. They all showed ferocious expressions as they looked at the angels, baring fangs and claws, poised to pounce.
An intense battle between the two sides was imminent, but nothing had happened yet. The vast sea was as calm as a mirror under the suppressive pressure.
The angels and dragons stared at an island in the middle where the Supreme Genesis and Ao Tianhuang sat next to each other. They did not glare furiously at each other but drank together.
“To the east of the fusang tree, Sima Zongheng is leading thirty-three armies of the Qian Nation against the Cyclic Star Ritual Array. To the north of the fusang tree, the three Qian Nation crown princes are battling the Ten Rising Suns Ritual Array. Hah! Ao Tianhuang, is the Qian Nation really planning to go down with the Solar Divine Palace?” The Supreme Genesis looked coldly at Ao Tianhuang while drinking wine.
“It is too noisy there, so I moved the battle here. Supreme Genesis, we are old friends, right?” Ao Tianhuang said as he drank some wine.
“We are old friends. I knew that we would end up fighting sooner or later. However, I did not expect this day to come so quickly,” the Supreme Genesis said sullenly.
“So quickly? It’s not really that quick. Everything will end soon,” Ao Tianhuang said coldly.
“Hah! Did you invite me to this small island before the battle just to have a drink with me?” the Supreme Genesis asked coldly.
“What’s wrong? Can’t I invite you here?” Ao Tianhuang responded with a smile.
“Invite? You did get me here. Since you are able to invite me here, it means that there is still room for discussion. Isn’t that right?” the Supreme Genesis said.
“What do you think?” Ao Tianhuang smiled.
“Ao Tianhuang, Long Zhanguo is seeking his own death. Your dragon race should have records of how strong the Six Paths Immortal is. Can Long Zhanguo deal with the Six Paths Immortal? Furthermore, Long Zhanguo cannot even match the Supreme Singularity!” the Supreme Genesis said.
“The Supreme Singularity’s strength? He was nothing before my dragon race eight hundred thousand years ago,” Ao Tianhuang said coldly.
“Haha! You are truly arrogant. The dragon race? Do you think that we are still in the past? Ao Tianhuang, you took the initiative to show goodwill this time. I’ll give you a chance. Cast off the darkness and enter the light with your dragon race. We can plead with the Six Paths Immortal on your behalf. All your past offenses will be overlooked,” the Supreme Genesis said solemnly.
“All overlooked? Hahahaha! Should I be thanking you for that?” Ao Tianhuang sneered.
“What’s wrong? Can you even resist? You are not doing this to come over to the right side but for your son? Hahahaha!” the Supreme Genesis guffawed.
Ao Tianhuang’s expression turned sullen.
“Ao Shun is probably the pride of your life, right? Although you have deposed him as crown prince, do you think that I don’t know that you did it only to keep him away from this battle? Hah! He is now in my hands. If you don’t care about it, I can send him down to accompany you. How about that?” the Supreme Genesis said coldly.
“Supreme Genesis, are you only capable of using my son to threaten me?” Ao Tianhuang said coldly.
“So what? The Qian Heavenly Dynasty and the Solar Divine Palace are fighting to the death. Are you still hoping that we can talk things through at this moment? Long Zhanguo has already gone beyond the point of no return: either the Qian Nation dies, or my Solar Divine Palace dies. Humph! Do you expect us to hold a friendly attitude towards you now?” the Supreme Genesis said coldly.
“His Holy Eminence started opposing Heaven back when you went to the Qian Heavenly Dynasty to participate in the Ten Thousand Sages Convention. However, he did not involve you, letting you go. When two armies clash, their lives depend on fate. Yet, you are using my son to threaten me?” Ao Tianhuang said coldly.
“That is due to his own stupidity. Humph! Ao Tianhuang, I’ll ask one last time, are you willing to turn your back on the darkness and come into the light?” the Supreme Genesis asked coldly.
Suddenly, Ao Tianhuang revealed a cold smile. “The one who should turn his back on the darkness and come into the light is you!”
The Supreme Genesis was about to mock and rebuke Ao Tianhuang when his expression suddenly changed. Then, he stood up with a whoosh!
“Ao Tianhuang, you…you tricked me? You bastard?! You delayed me while you sent your projection to Heaven City?” the Supreme Genesis cried out with a ferocious expression.
“Alright, the battle can begin now! Hahahaha!” Ao Tianhuang suddenly guffawed.
As Ao Tianhuang guffawed, he thrust his hand at the Supreme Genesis, manifesting an enormous yellow dragon claw out of nowhere that tried to grab the Supreme Genesis.
“You bastard!” The Supreme Genesis threw a palm strike.
Boom!
The battle between Ao Tianhuang and the Supreme Genesis began.
When the angels and dragons saw their leaders fighting in the sky, they immediately sprang into action.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Countless dragons and angels roared in unison.
Rumble…!
The two armies clashed. The dragons had powerful physiques, holding an advantage. They swept through large areas, immediately killing many angels.
Ao Tianhuang’s punch contained immense force, knocking back the Supreme Genesis.
“Hahahahaha! Supreme Genesis, you are still very weak!” Ao Tianhuang guffawed.
“Humph! Weak? What do you know? Cross Annihilation! Holy Light World!” the Supreme Genesis shouted.
Suddenly, a cross-shaped enchanted treasure appeared in the Supreme Genesis’s hand. When the enchanted treasure appeared, it brightly lit the surroundings.
The millions of talisman scripts on the Cross Annihilation gave off a dazzling light. The eyes of any angel that had the light shine on them suddenly turned bloodshot as if they had gone berserk. Then, their figures grew larger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle suddenly intensified. The initially one-sided struggle changed. Now, both sides seemed equal.
“Oh no! The angels grew stronger?”
“The Cross Annihilation! It’s the Cross Annihilation’s holy light!”
The dragons rallied.
Ao Tianhuang continued fighting the Supreme Genesis. When the Cross Annihilation released its light, it also strengthened the Supreme Genesis. Each time the holy light shone on him, he seemed to grow more powerful by several folds.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time the Supreme Genesis clashed with Ao Tianhuang, ripples spread out in space. This time, no clear victor emerged.
“Oh? The Cross Annihilation? It drew out your potential?” Ao Tianhuang said with a ferocious expression.
The Supreme Genesis’s expression changed. “Ao Tianhuang, you despicable person!”
“Humph! Despicable? Who was it who said, ‘Do you expect us to hold a friendly attitude towards you now?’” Ao Tianhuang retorted coldly.
Regardless of the Cross Annihilation, Ao Tianhuang could still hold his own.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Overwhelming waves kicked up in the surrounding sea as the two fought.
The Supreme Genesis felt incredibly anxious. Something had happened in Heaven City, and he needed to return immediately. However, Ao Tianhuang delayed him.
“Humph! Ao Tianhuang, do you really think I have no way to deal with you? Cross Annihilation, take my form and help me defend!” the Supreme Genesis shouted.
The Cross Annihilation, giving off bright light in the sky, suddenly started changing shape, slowly taking the Supreme Genesis’s form. However, the Supreme Genesis that the Cross Annihilation turned into had twelve huge pure-white wings.
Buzz!
Flaring holy light lit up the surroundings.
“The Cross Annihilation? It can transform?” Ao Tianhuang’s expression changed.
That twelve-winged angel suddenly charged at Ao Tianhuang.
“Break!” Ao Tianhuang punched with all his might.
Boom!
The twelve-winged angel’s fist clashed with Ao Tianhuang’s fist. However, they were equal. The massive impact knocked over the dragons and angels in the surroundings.
“Cross Annihilation, block Ao Tianhuang. I’ll return quickly!” the Supreme Genesis said with a ferocious expression.
Whoosh!
The Supreme Genesis turned his head and flew to the distant fusang tree, towards Heaven City.
“Halt!” Ao Tianhuang’s expression changed.
However, the twelve-winged angel blocked Ao Tianhuang.
Ao Tianhuang immediately appeared anxious.
——
Heaven City:
The Supreme Genesis rushed back in mere moments.
Boom!
The Supreme Genesis’s figure paused as a powerful gust swept away all the clouds and fog above Heaven City.
“How bold!” the Supreme Genesis suddenly roared.
“Veritable Lord is back! Veritable Lord!”
“Veritable Lord, quickly save First Young Master!”
Countless angels clamored in Heaven City.
Heaven City was in complete chaos.
Ao Tianhuang’s projection had appeared amid churning dark clouds that threw down lightning bolts. Six black angels surrounded Ao Tianhuang, but they could not do anything against him.
The other angels did not come to help, as a horrifying scene for them was taking place nearby.
A man held Yanxuan by the head. Yanxuan’s four limbs had been torn off, and he appeared to be dying.
That man was Gu Qin.
“You…you…you…!” Yanxuan gazed at Gu Qin with despair.
Holding Yanxuan, Gu Qin looked to the Embroidered Uniform Guards at the side.
Currently, Meng Tai supported a severely injured Ao Shun, who was on his last breath.
“Crown Prince Ao Shun, are you feeling better?” Gu Qin called out.
“Many thanks, Crown Prince Gu Qin. Yanxuan nearly killed me earlier. Many thanks,” Ao Shun said weakly.
“There’s no need to thank me. It is unfortunate that Lu Ya took Imperial Father away. Otherwise…otherwise…” Gu Qin appeared depressed.
Gu Qin had worked with Ao Tianhuang to rescue his father, Gu Hai. However, his father was not there.
“Emperor Gu is a blessed man. Crown Prince Gu Qin, there’s no need to worry too much,” Ao Shun said weakly.
“Alright, let’s set that aside for now. We need to leave right away.” Gu Qin roared, “I have Yanxuan with me! All angels, move aside! Otherwise, I will crush and explode his head!”
Just as the angels vacillated over what to do, a strong gust suddenly swept over.
Boom! A gale blew, and a roar came from above. “How bold!”
The Supreme Genesis glared when he saw the situation below.
“Oh no! The Supreme Genesis returned!” Meng Tai’s expression changed as he supported Ao Shun.
Gu Qin’s face sank.
“Prime Ao, what happened?” Gu Qin stared at Ao Tianhuang’s projection, which was fighting a group of black angels nearby.
“Crown Prince Gu Qin, sorry. My true body got occupied by the Cross Annihilation!” Ao Tianhuang said bitterly.
“Ao Tianhuang? This is just a projection. What a good plan!” The Supreme Genesis’s body flashed as he threw a palm strike.
“Oh no!” The expression of Ao Tianhuang’s projection changed, and he hurriedly countered with a palm strike.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as the Supreme Genesis smashed Ao Tianhuang’s projection with immense force, reducing Ao Tianhuang’s projection to a shattered dragon whisker.
“Prime Ao?” Meng Tai’s expression changed.
At this moment, angels filled the surroundings. The Supreme Genesis had returned and shattered Ao Tianhuang’s projection. Was it over for them now?
