2010 A Path Filled With Thorns, You Have Already Been Exposed, the Arbiter Immortal Emperor
In the Void Battlefield, something strange suddenly happened.
All the Central Heaven Universe forces had abandoned their defenses and gathered at a location to prepare for a final assault.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden change of events.
After all, the previous war between the two universes lasted for a hundred thousand years.
However, only a few hundred years had passed this time.
It was simply unbelievable that the final battle would happen so soon.
Despite that, Pan Gu Universe forces took action immediately.
They, too, had started amassing their forces.
During the meeting inside the Deep Mind Dimension, Jue Wushen asked, “My Queen, when will our King come out from his closed-door meditation?”
Ever since Chu Kuangren returned from the Secret Realm, he had been in closed-door meditation for a hundred years. Hence, Gu Linglong handled every matter regarding the war.
She was also the only one that could contact him.
Gu Linglong replied, “My husband will exit his closed-door meditation before the battle starts!”
Everyone felt reassured to hear that.
Then, they began to discuss the final battle.
“This time, the Central Heaven Universe will launch an all-out attack. All their Peerless Warlords have been deployed, and the Nine Kings have gathered along with the ancient Embodier God Kings. We must never take them lightly this time.”
“We should ”
“That’s right.”
Everyone continued discussing war strategies.
Finally, everyone decided to set many traps along the paths the Central Heaven Universe army would take. The plan was to wear them down before they could arrive.
Immortal Emperor Luo Tian, who also participated in the meeting, noted down every location where the traps and ambushes were going to be set up. He would hand over it to God King Sikong once the meeting ended.
…
The great army numbered in the billions.
The sky was painted with various levitating warships.
All of the Central Heaven Universe’s elite troops had been gathered.
God King Sikong was standing onboard one of the warships.
He was holding a jade scroll in his hand, which suddenly lit up moments after. Upon seeing that, he let out a smile. “Our intel is here…”
“Oh, are they planning to set up many traps along the way? It’s a good idea, but their efforts will eventually be in vain.”
With Immortal Emperor Luo Tian as his spy, they knew all the locations where Gu Linglong and the others were planning to set up traps. Hence, they could steer away from those places.
According to Immortal Emperor Luo Tian’s intel, God King Sikong soon found a safe passage that could immediately lead them to the Pan Gu Universe’s Third Continent. That location was also very near to the passage to Pan Gu Universe.
“Ok, steer towards that direction.”
God King Sikong led everyone toward the safer path.
They passed by an abandoned continent.
Many abandoned defensive structures were visible on that continent, and several great cities were scattered all over the continent. All of them were abandoned and emptied.
Even large amounts of resources were left untouched, with no one to mine them.
Attracted by those resources, some soldiers immediately began to gather them
At that moment, inside one of the cities, bundles of runic light suddenly lit up one by one.
Following that, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly emerged from the runes inside that city. The whole city had seemingly turned into a gigantic bomb, and the energy fluctuation spread everywhere, erupting with full force!
The soldiers were all blasted into smithereens one after another.
“Oh no!”
God King Sikong’s expression changed.
However, it was too late.
Countless runes had begun to appear from all the abandoned continents of Pan Gu Universe, with an earth-shattering energy explosion erupting in each of them.
Boom, boom, boom…
It was as if a chain of fireworks had been set off.
As the continents blew up, many Central Heaven Universe cultivators were killed in the explosion. Their cries and screams echoed throughout the surroundings.
“What the hell is going on?”
“What are you doing, God King Sikong? Do you know the way or not?”
Heavenly Rainbow Dragon’s expression sank as he saw the armies begin to scatter. Some took action to save their men, while some began questioning God King Sikong’s actions.
“We’ve been tricked!”
God King Sikong took out the intel that Immortal Emperor Luo Tian gave him.
The safest passage mentioned in the message was anything but that. On the contrary, it was a thorny path of traps and ambushes instead!
‘Has Immortal Emperor Luo Tian betrayed us?’
‘No, that can’t be.’
God King Sikong was confident he had a good eye for judging one’s character. After having his military authority revoked, someone as ambitious and greedy as Immortal Emperor Luo Tian would only cooperate with them to get back everything that was taken from him.
There was no way he would betray them.
In other words, Immortal Emperor Luo Tian’s betrayal had been exposed!
“What should we do now, God King Sikong?” Emperor Skylord asked.
“Continued moving forward!”
They were already in too deep along that thorny path, and Pan Gu Universe’s forces had sealed off their escape route.
Things would not get any better for them if they retreat now.
“Heavenly Rainbow Dragon, go with the others to clear the path ahead for us.”
“Very well.”
The Peerless Warlords started taking action, and their massive auras spread everywhere.
Chu Kuangren looked at the various traps that appeared in the void non-stop with a slight grin on his face. He then shot a barely noticeable glance at a certain part of the void.
Inside the void, Flaming Dark Golden Guardian, who was in dark golden armor, noticed that too. His gaze froze for a moment before he chuckled. “Interesting. It looks like he has noticed me.”
He was not too surprised by that.
Something would be wrong if the famous Heavenly Sword could not notice his presence.
“However… You can no longer live!”
The Flaming Dark Golden Guardian revealed a chilling expression.
Even without God King Sikong’s orders, they had to kill the Heavenly Sword. That was because Emperor Feng, their master, had ordered them to do so.
‘It doesn’t matter whether the Heavenly Sword is a traitor or not, he must die!’
Firstly, he had incurred the anger of many tribes. The Titan Tribe, Nether King Tribe, Dao King Tribe, and many other ancient King Tribes had grudges against him.
Even if Emperor Feng did nothing now, the other ancient King Tribes would do what it would take to kill him.
However, Emperor Feng did not mind giving them a little push and made them owe him a favor for that.
Secondly, his potential was far too great. It had gotten to the point where he had become a threat to Emperor Feng.
If he continued getting stronger without any setbacks, Chu Kuangren would certainly surpass Emperor Feng in strength in the future. Emperor Feng could never allow that to happen!
He wanted to create a new era. Hence, an Outlier like the Heavenly Sword must not be allowed to live.
In conclusion, the Heavenly Sword must die, and besides the Heavenly Sword, Chu Kuangren must not be allowed to live too.
…
On Pan Gu Universe’s Fourth Continent, Immortal Emperor Luo Tian was enjoying some liquor with a smile on his face.
He was waiting for the Central Heaven Universe troops to arrive. When that time came, he would attack from the inside, take the Pan Gu Universe forces by surprise, and cause them to become scattered.
“Chu Kuangren, I have never forgotten how you took away my military authority. Now the final battle is upon us, the armies of the Immortal Hall shall gather once more. When that time comes, all I need to do is to raise my arm and give the order. Let’s see which one of us they will obey then,” Immortal Emperor Luo Tian murmured.
“The preparations are ready, Immortal Emperor Luo Tian.” The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor walked to him and said.
He, too, knew of Immortal Emperor Luo Tian’s traitorous plan.
Furthermore, he also willingly followed him as a fellow traitor.
“Hmmm, very well, Myriad Dusk. This battle today shall be the determinant on whether the Immortal Hall can regain its full glory.”
Immortal Emperor Luo Tian nodded.
Suddenly, he received a message.
God King Sikong had sent it, and its contents were short and simple.
“Your identity has been exposed! Escape now!”
Immortal Emperor Luo Tian immediately jumped on his feet. “Impossible!”
His expression was grim, and he immediately told the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor. “Take all the Immortal Hall’s troops and leave this place immediately!”
Just as the Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor was about to carry out that order, a female figure appeared before them.
The person who appeared was a gorgeous woman.
The Myriad Dusk Immortal Emperor recognized her as one of the newer Immortal Emperors. She was none other than the Great Arbiter Divine Maiden of the East Sovereign Immortal Hall’s Nine Houses.
She was already an Embodier now, but she was known to all as the Arbiter Immortal Emperor.
