Chapter 1430
Chapter 1430 (Raw 1420):
A throne descended from the Deity Race warship. Di Wuque was seated on the throne, wearing divine golden robes embroidered with magnificent patterns. Unlike many years ago, he now possessed the air of a major character. The moment he appeared, he attracted attention from countless people.
"Why did this fellow not die on his Emperor's Road back then?" Xiao Bai said in a huff through gritted teeth.
Shui Lingling, An Junxi, and the others thought this as well. If Di Wuque had died on his nine-colored Emperor's Road, things might have turned out differently for Xiao Chen.
However, there were no ifs in this world. Right now, Di Wuque had already risen up completely. His cultivation was stable, and the Deity Race had erected Deity Statues for him. He cultivated the various secret arts of the Deity Race and grew accordingly. He was slowly learning how to be a Deity Sovereign.
It was rumored that the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign intended to let Di Wuque succeed to his position as the new Deity Sovereign of the Deity Race.
For some reason, Di Wuque did not agree. However, regardless of that, he was definitely strong without a doubt.
With just a look at how Xia Houjue, Feng Wuji, Xie Zixuan, and the other experts behaved around him, one could guess a thing or two from their respect for him.
The Earth Demon Crown Scion rode a Demonic World ferocious beast. It looked like a tiger but was not a tiger. This ferocious beast was very huge, and its long tail coiled around like a snake. Its hooves burned with a black flame.
This beast was known as the Snake-Tailed Tiger. It was a famous ferocious beast in the Demonic World. However, this Snake-Tailed Tiger clearly had mutated and evolved into an even more ferocious mutated beast.
"Di Wuque, don't think too highly of yourself!" the Earth Demon Crown Scion riding the Snake-Tailed Tiger said. His expression was sharp and cold, and his eyes showed a brilliant light.
"Whoosh!"
The Snake-Tailed Tiger soared into the sky, carrying Ning Feng, the Earth Demon Crown Scion, who faced Di Wuque in the air. The area below happened to be where the Deity Dao Union and the Crown Scions clashed.
Occasionally, all sorts of aftershocks swept across this place—or horrific sword Qi, or thunderous lightning bolts, or berserk howling snowstorms.
However, these two did not show any fear at all, remaining here where the aftershocks swept across, walking leisurely and casually. Occasionally, they flung their arms out and scattered the aftershocks that approached, behaving very carefreely.
The two's auras spread out invisibly. When the two started to face each other, the air, filled with wind, snow, sword Qi, and lightning, gave off intense explosions under the pressure of these auras, forcing these things back and forming a clear space.
Di Wuque's finger slowly tapped the armrest, producing knocking sounds. He showed a smile on his face, clearly indifferent to the Demonic Might of Ning Feng, the Earth Demon Crown Scion.
"If you are not going to attack, then I will!"
After facing each other for a long time, Ning Feng, the Earth Demon Crown Scion, was still doing his best to endure. Suddenly, Di Wuque stood up, and a nine-colored rainbow bridge appeared under his feet, stretching out from under the throne to before Ning Feng.
The instant the nine-colored rainbow bridge manifested, Di Wuque suddenly appeared as well. When he waved his hand, an overwhelming Divine Might pressed down directly.
Suddenly, sagely music resounded. With the pressure of this palm strike, it was like a celestial being's attack. There was even a vague image of a huge palm descending.
Ning Feng snorted coldly, and the Snake-Tailed Tiger roared ferociously. An overwhelming Demonic Might burst out as he threw a punch.
When the palm and fist connected, the huge palm image turned into bright light scattering into the surroundings, vanishing.
"Paltry tricks!" After gaining the upper hand with one strike, Ning Feng prepared to ride the momentum and beat down Di Wuque's arrogance.
Di Wuque smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? I'm only a tenth as skilled in Palm Techniques compared to Fist Techniques. What are you getting cocky for?"
Right after speaking, Di Wuque ferociously clenched his open palm.
The instant the five fingers clenched, the thousands of strands of divine light that had scattered suddenly gathered into a towering Deity Statue that looked exactly like Di Wuque. The blazing Divine Might immediately soared to its peak.
The fist light descended, leaving Ning Feng only able to steel himself and receive this strike. This punch immediately allowed Ning Feng to sense the gap between him and Di Wuque.
The other party's energy was simply too violent, like a vast ocean surging endlessly, unfathomably deep.
"Hahaha! Again! Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Distant Legend!"
Seeing that the other party barely coped with his punch, Di Wuque laughed loudly and threw another Myriad Heaven Divine Fist.
What was a legend? The stories of the ancient Deity Race, which had been passed down for millions of years since time immemorial, were legends
"Boom!"
The punch knocked the originally rather indomitable Earth Demon Crown Scion, Ning Feng, off the Snake-Tailed Tiger. Di Wuque shone, looking very glorious like a revered celestial.
The Snake-Tailed Tiger opened its huge maw and bit down at Di Wuque at lightning speed.
Di Wuque's expression sank, and he glared ferociously. Invisible Mental Energy invaded the mind of the mutated Snake-Tailed Tiger.
In a mere instant, this attack stunned the Snake-Tailed Tiger, immobilizing it. Di Wuque smiled coldly and kicked, sending it flying with a trail of blood and causing it to explode.
Di Wuque moved through the blood-filled air. Before the Earth Demon Crown Scion had time to rage, Di Wuque's two fists moved like lightning, throwing punches in rapid succession.
Ning Feng gritted his teeth in anger. Every time he received a punch, blood leaked out of the corners of his lips. However, he stubbornly did not retreat.
Rumbling spread into the surroundings, sounding very deafening. Space shattered into pieces. The sky became void of light, but the sun, moon, and stars could be seen, looking dazzling and resplendent.
After one hundred punches, the Earth Demon Crown Scion vomited a mouthful of blood, unable to endure any longer. He went flying back, and his right arm shattered. Then, the damage spread; Di Wuque shattered nearly half of Ning Feng's body,
Such a scene was very shocking to see. No one expected Di Wuque to be so strong that he actually even managed to shatter the other party's Golden Emperor Body.
However, as long as the Heart of an Emperor did not shatter or the head did not explode, although half the body was crippled, it would not be the end. However, Ning Feng would definitely not be able to recover his combat prowess.
"The Divine Son, Di Wuque, is exceptional and without rival!"
Di Wuque's imposing figure stood in midair. Words of praise came from the many Deity Race warships. The multitude of warships had many people singing his praises, which even echoed in the surroundings.
The light of the power of faith slowly entered Di Wuque's body, replenishing what he exhausted in this battle.
"This is too terrifying!"
Chu Yang, Sima Lingxuan, and the various outstanding talents were flabbergasted. After the Deity Race invested all of their resources in this one person, his potential was simply dug out at too fast a rate, so fast that others could not keep up.
Suddenly, Di Wuque descended into the chaotic battle between the Deity Dao Union and the Demon Royal Halls' Crown Scions, releasing his strong Deity Dao Emperor's Might.
This prompted everyone to stop. Then, they sorted themselves out and withdrew. The intense fight immediately came to a halt.
The Demon Royal Halls' people retreated to the back. The Deity Dao Union's side retreated to behind Di Wuque and eyed the other side coldly.
"Young Master Celestial Demon, if you still do not show yourself, this ice sculpture will be mine!"
Extending his hand, Di Wuque sucked the ice sculpture over and grabbed a corner. However, just as he was about to pull it over completely, he felt resistance, and the ice sculpture stopped moving.
Only now did Di Wuque discover that someone had appeared on the other side at some point in time, also holding a corner of the ice sculpture.
It was the Celestial Demons' Young Master. No one had seen how he came out of the black palanquin. It was like he just needed to will it, and he would arrive after raising his leg and lowering it.
"Boom!"
Di Wuque's face sank. Suddenly, a divine golden light burst forth from his body and soared into the clouds. A strong Emperor's Might surged out, catching everyone behind off guard and forcing them back.
"Sovereign Emperor's Might!"
After the various outstanding talents on the Deity Dao Union's side landed, they were all shocked. It was Sovereign Emperor's Might. Di Wuque gave off a genuine Sovereign Emperor's Might. He had been hiding his strength.
No wonder Di Wuque said that the Earth Demon Crown Scion was not worthy to fight with him. Only the Celestial Demon Crown Scion was worthy. It turned out that Di Wuque had already broken through to Seventh Heaven Martial Emperor.
A cold light flashed in the Celestial Demon Crown Scion's eyes. Black Demonic Qi came from his body. Sovereign Emperor's Might combined with the Demonic Qi and formed a pillar of black light charging into the sky.
As the two's Emperor's Might clashed, their hands did not remain idle. They both pulled forcefully, trying to drag the ice sculpture over to their own side.
While everyone was distracted by the two Emperor's Might, none of the onlookers noticed that a crack had appeared in the unchanging ice sculpture.
However, how could the Celestial Demon Crown Scion and Di Wuque, who were very near the ice sculpture not know? Their expressions changed at the same time.
"Deity Dao Union, heed my orders. The ice sculpture is about to melt. Attack and snatch the body!"
"Attack!" Without letting go, the two give out the exact same command.
With these commands, the expressions of everyone in the Dragon Burial Mound changed. The Deity Dao Union and the Demon Royal Halls' Crown Scions were the first to react. They all soared into the air, preparing to snatch the Golden Emperor Body of the ancient powerhouse the instant the ice melted.
No one on either side dared to hold back anymore. The strong auras caused the winds to blow and the clouds to surge, the sky and the surroundings changing color.
One half became filled with glittering golden clouds, releasing the Deity Dao Emperor's Might of many people. The other half had surging, thick black clouds, the Demonic Qi flooding the sky making it appear gloomy.
"Crack! Crack!"
The cracks in the ice sculpture spread at an increasing rate. In the end, it shattered.
