1489: Chapter 1489: Battle with Heavenly Venerable Xiao 1489: Chapter 1489: Battle with Heavenly Venerable Xiao “Blessing?
Are you even worthy of owning the daughter of this supreme being?”
The voice of Heavenly Venerable Xiao resonated, followed by a sudden tear in the eastern sky, spanning from east to west like a black slit countless miles long, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.
In its presence, every spirit in the world seemed insignificantly small.
Inside the Huo Family, all beings stirred, and the guests stood up one after another.
“Heavenly Venerable Xiao!”
“It’s really him, he actually came!”
“It seems our trip was not in vain, Heavenly Venerable Xiao seldom appears in public, this time the Huo Family is in big trouble!”
“Huo Xundi has Ji Haoye and Xuandang to back him up, this is going to be a good show!”
“Is the Warlord here?
But even if he is, he is no match for Heavenly Venerable Xiao.”
The beings discussed spiritedly, none optimistic about Huo Xundi.
Facing the humiliation from Heavenly Venerable Xiao, Huo Xundi was not annoyed, and said, “If the Heavenly Venerable is dissatisfied, we’ll discuss this another day.”
Discuss this another day?
Qin Jun, who was drinking at the time, sprayed his drink and nearly choked with laughter.
“Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?” Guo Jia asked in confusion.
“Cough cough, nothing.” Qin Jun composed himself and spoke solemnly.
Meanwhile, the defiance displayed by Huo Xundi left the guests shaking their heads; this fellow must be crazy to show such disrespect to Heavenly Venerable Xiao.
“To die under the hand of this supreme being is a virtue for your Huo Family!”
The voice of Heavenly Venerable Xiao rose again, and amid his words, a terrifying black giant hand stretched out from the tear in the sky, seeking to crush Huo Xundi.
Qiao’er lifted her red bridal veil, standing in front of Huo Xundi and shouting loudly, “Father Emperor!
Do you truly intend to drive your daughter to a dead end?”
“Hmph!
Even if you die, this supreme being can resurrect you.
Move aside, otherwise I’ll crush you too!”
Heavenly Venerable Xiao commanded with overbearing authority, so ruthless as to even kill his daughter, leaving all who heard astonished by his domineering might.
Qin Jun also listened speechlessly, lamenting the misfortune of having such a father, from whom not even death could offer an escape.
“Hmph!
With me here, who dares to be noisy!”
Qin Jun’s voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire Huo Family realm, followed by Ji Haoye and Xuandang appearing above Huo Xundi and Qiao’er’s heads.
The imposing aura of the Wují supreme being explosively erupted, shredding the black giant hand into twisting black smoke.
Seeing this, the blood-red eyes in the distance suddenly narrowed fiercely, the murderous intent cleft through the entire world, making all beings feel as if they were caught in a cold, bone-chilling abyss.
“Who’s hiding in the shadows!”
Heavenly Venerable Xiao bellowed with anger evident in his voice.
“Heavenly Venerable?
Why ask so many questions—why not come out and see for yourself!”
Qin Jun sneered, causing a stir among countless beings.
Who could it be?
To speak so arrogantly in the face of Heavenly Venerable Xiao?
Even Qiao’er couldn’t help but cover her mouth and ask Huo Xundi in a low voice, “Is this really okay?”
If her Father Emperor were to be provoked, the entirety of the Huo Family universe would have to be buried with them.
Huo Xundi smirked disdainfully, “Just watch, your arrogant Father Emperor will kneel before His Majesty!”
It didn’t matter how powerful Heavenly Venerable Xiao was!
In Huo Xundi’s heart, Qin Jun was invincible.
“Just with two early-stage Wují supreme beings, you dare to compete against this supreme being?
It seems you know nothing about power!”
Heavenly Venerable Xiao scoffed, clearly not taking Ji Haoye and Xuandang seriously.
Ji Haoye was just one step away from reaching the middle phase of the Wují supreme being, and even though his combat power could contend with a typical middle phase Wují supreme being, he was instantly angered by the arrogant words of Heavenly Venerable Xiao.
He transformed into the fiery demon god and marched forward.
The Inferno Devil’s flames burned the entire sky, the firelight shimmering on the faces of every creature as if they were looking up to the divine.
Xuandang refused to show weakness and likewise charged towards Heavenly Venerable Xiao.
“Humph!
There’s no need for the Heavenly Venerable to make a move!”
Just then, a cold sneer sounded, sinister and chilling to the spine.
A terrifying grand demon, a hundred million zhang tall, rose from amidst the clouds.
With a humanoid body, wings like those of a bat, spanning millions of zhang, stirring up the rolling clouds into surging dragons.
It had a face like that of a devil, with a dark body and twin horns like those of a goat.
Its right hand struck down, sharp claws shredding the cold wind.
An overwhelming pressure swept across the world, countless floating islands fluttering like fallen leaves, buildings collapsing, and palaces cracking.
Ji Haoye punched out, the rolling flames forming a blade’s edge upon the demon’s body, both figures wavering simultaneously.
“So strong!”
Both were simultaneously shocked, when suddenly, Xuandang soared forward, smashing down with a palm that was millions of zhang large, with the might to invert the universe, and sink the earth.
The great battle was about to erupt!
“It’s the Zot Demon King, the number one warrior under Heavenly Venerable Xiao!”
Someone exclaimed, evidently, the Zot Demon King also had a significant reputation in the ancient saintly imperial path.
Inside the hall, Li Bai, holding his cup of wine, asked with a smile, “Your Majesty, do you require my assistance?”
Upon hearing this, Ji Qiankun, Guo Jia, Guan Zhong, Sun Wukong, Di Jun, Di Jiang, Donghuang Taiyi, and Torch Dragon all turned to look at him in astonishment.
Li Bai had always suppressed his aura, making him appear merely as a Manifesting Saint, seemingly unqualified to join the battle.
But at such a critical moment, they would not assume that Li Bai was drunk.
Has Li Bai grown stronger again?
“Don’t panic!”
Qin Jun shook his head with a smile, saying that since this was the first battle in the ancient saintly imperial path, they must make it magnificent!
Meanwhile, Ji Haoye and Xuandang began to jointly assault the Zot Demon King.
Three Invincible Sovereigns colliding, such terror caused the Huo Family world to begin crumbling, with spatial rifts like black centipedes dividing the sky.
Ji Haoye’s gaze sharpened, and with a violent collision to the Zot Demon King’s abdomen, the powerful force sent the Zot Demon King tumbling into the chaotic spatial flow.
They shifted the battleground with Xuandang right behind.
Only after their departure did the Huo Family world finally stabilize.
However, Heavenly Venerable Xiao’s eyes still fixated on the Huo Family world.
“The Heavenly Venerable wishes to see who this mutt can rely on now!”
Heavenly Venerable Xiao said mockingly, and as his words faded, the crimson eyes vanished, and a figure appeared on the horizon—it was Heavenly Venerable Xiao.
Clad in a blood-black robe fluttering in the wind, his towering stature seemed to contain endless power.
The intimidating aura twisted the void, and his disheveled black hair could not hide his murderous, blood-red eyes.
As the overlord of a grand path domain, Heavenly Venerable Xiao’s aura was lofty and unapproachable, with none daring to meet his gaze.
Even Huo Xundi couldn’t help but bow his head.
“This guy is pretty strong!”
Li Bai squinted his eyes and murmured, to the shock of the rest.
Was this oppressing force only considered ‘pretty strong’ in Li Bai’s opinion?
“Little Li, just how powerful are you now?”
Sun Wukong could not help but ask, an impatient look on his face.
“Indescribable.” Li Bai swirled his wine cup, saying leisurely with a smile.
“Li Bai, make your move!”
Qin Jun ordered, since Heavenly Venerable Xiao had already appeared, it was time for Li Bai to take action.
He wouldn’t send in Earth Traveler Monkey or King Huang Feng as fodder; he’d have Li Bai directly defeat Heavenly Venerable Xiao for greater prestige!
