Li Hao raised his head to see Peng Cheng looking his way as well. The chaos beast’s heart skipped a beat when he noticed Li Hao’s gaze. The young man didn’t say anything.
Whether it was a case of bullying the weak and being afraid of the strong, these people weren’t his. They were even his enemies. He didn’t slaughter Reincarnation major world’s other exalted emperors not only because he’d promised their world master, but also because he was exceedingly weak at the moment.
Countless worlds collapsed in Li Hao’s river. Many of the stars created from the dissipation of time had crumbled away. The worlds with mental entities in them were slightly better off, but there were only several thousand mental entities. The great daos with no one else in residence quickly fell apart.
Li Hao’s immense strength was fading. He didn’t hide his state. In reality, he was every bit as weak as he appeared. Peng Cheng could see that for himself.
The Thunder Emperor and the rest were very nervous. They clustered around Li Hao, but Peng Cheng didn’t seem inclined to make this a major issue.
Li Hao didn’t seem afraid of retribution right this very moment either.
As reluctant as the Reincarnation exalted emperors were to accept their lot in life, some were filled with more terror. They disengaged from the dao universe and didn’t even dare sabotage too much on their way out.
Li Hao had disrupted their mental fortitude after killing just Reincarnation. Soon, the exalted emperors left the dao universe one by one.
“Since I do not have a world, I am not at liberty to take the mundanes with me...” Peng Cheng said nervously as he looked at Reincarnation major world.
“Do as you wish!” Li Hao said calmly. “In that case, Fellow Daoist Peng Cheng should be on your way. Convey my respects to the Exalted Chaos Sky Emperor and tell him that I, Li Hao, am unable to measure up to Chaos Sky. But there will come a day in which I exact revenge for the slight of so many Chaos Sky exalted emperors attacking me together!”
Peng Cheng didn’t dare say anything threatening in response. Although Li Hao spoke a bit out of line, what he promised wasn’t outside the realm of possibility in the chaos beast’s eyes. Could one really disregard the words of a newcomer who’d taken just several years to come into his power and kill Reincarnation?
The chaos beast beat a hasty retreat with the other eighth ranks and many more exalted emperors. He had no mind to spare for anyplace else.
But as he left, Arctic Frost’s enraged howl echoed through the void. “Animals! Are you leaving just like that?! Damn it!! You bastards!!”
He raged with desperation as at least five other eighth ranks had run off when Reincarnation died.
Li Hao had been able to shift his attention to New Martial’s side of the battlefield if he wanted to, but he didn’t need to. At least five terrified eighth ranks had fled for their lives the second Reincarnation was no more. They were deathly afraid that the young man was now free to reinforce New Martial. Hence, a large number of people immediately ran off.
When Peng Cheng withdrew, so did some of the other exalted emperors who’d been holding out. They could tell that the tides were turning against them. Arctic Frost wanted to join them, but he didn’t have a chance as the Human King kept on him!
Fang Ping was utterly vicious in this moment and brayed with laughter. “Just try running, you little shit! You’re the only one who can talk tough, is it? No one else can be the top dog, huh??”
He didn’t care about anyone else and furiously swung his sword at Arctic Frost!
No one stopped him now.
Of the fifteen eighth ranks, the two Arctic Frost ones had been killed. The supreme’s group had killed another, and most of the rest had run off. It was Arctic Frost’s misfortune that the Human King had set his eyes on the man. There was no way he was getting away.
“I surrender, I’m willing to surrender...” Arctic Frost said hastily. The eastern alliance was fully defunct after this battle! If he died too, that would leave only eleven eighth ranks in the east. What kind of joke was that??
They dared fight before because there were a lot of them, but how would they dare pit themselves against New Martial when there were only eleven?
Some of the escapees might be on their way fully out of the region. They might have even left their worlds and dao universes behind.
“It’s too late!” roared the Human King. No one knew if he was annoyed at how Li Hao had claimed the limelight or how Arctic Frost was still alive.
His long blade shattered upon the next impact!
The worlds turned into hell as blade intent shot through the void. Arctic Frost’s glacial world spontaneously collapsed. The man fully despaired in this moment and cursed, “Chaos Sky, Five Elements, Spring Autumn, all of you are animals! Whoever dares believe in you is to nurse a death wish...”
He’d believed the three overlords when they said that he could be the overlord of the east after eliminating New Martial and Silver Moon. As it would turn out, that was bullshit.
Is this your plan?? A bunch of eighth ranks are dead! Even Reincarnation is dead! And now... I am going to follow in his footsteps.
Oh how Arctic Frost rued past decisions. If he’d known that this would be the outcome, he would have agreed to work with Reincarnation. They would’ve long conquered the east if that was the course of action he’d taken.
Now the eastern region factions lay in tatters and Reincarnation had fallen. And he... was about to die as well.
Rumble!
Arctic Frost died amid a mix of curses and loud rumbles. He was bitter to the end, extremely resentful that his death was so ignoble.
The Human King panted heavily and sneered. The three idiots of Arctic Frost were all dead. Indeed, those three were all idiots in his eyes. And they thought of conquering the east?
Are you guys worthy? Do you have the ability to do so?
They were worse off than Reincarnation in their capacity as pawns for the three overlords. Reincarnation had a voice he could use and had redeployed many eighth ranks to the battlefield. Meanwhile, the three idiots of Arctic Frost had emptied their personal wealth and gained nothing in return. They hadn’t received any benefits before starting to work for the three overlords.
And now they had nothing at all.
The Human King looked into the distance, at where Li Hao fought. He spat out a mouthful of blood and couldn’t help but swear, “How did that little bastard do it?”
Even he was very surprised that Li Hao had killed Reincarnation and the others. It was incredible.
The supreme heaved for breath, his book of dao looking a bit worse for the wear. He looked over as well and smiled. “He... broke time apart!”
The Human King nodded. He could sense it as well and was gratified by it.
“That’s good, but it’s also a bit of a pity. It will be an even greater pity if time cannot be reconstructed. That will be the end of this guy’s Allheaven Hall if that’s the case.”
Fang Ping looked toward the four regions. The thunder tribulations had almost all dispersed. A figure stood outside the four regions. His presence enveloped the area—Long Zhan.
In the airspace of the four regions.
Long Zhan had defeated all of the thunder tribulations and was taking a minute to catch his breath. He looked into the distance and clenched a supernatural character in his hand. It rippled continuously before transforming into Li Hao.
Long Zhan looked at Li Hao. The young man looked back at him.
“Congratulations!” The dragon was the first to break the silence. This marked the complete failure of the plan from the three regions to kill New Martial and Silver Moon. Li Hao had also wrecked Long Zhan’s plan to ensure balance between the factions throughout the chaos.
One had to say, he quite admired the young man.
Li Hao had triggered thunder tribulations at this critical moment to draw his attention away. Although it was an immensely irritating method, the outcome illustrated that this was a very effective tactic. Otherwise, Long Zhan would not have permitted Li Hao to kill Reincarnation had he been present.
After this battle, only the three overlords had the effort left to target Li Hao. When it came to the chaos beasts of the four regions, only Long Zhan had some ability to intimidate the young man somewhat. And in actuality, even the dragon was feeling a sense of danger.
Indeed, he could sense the threat!
The eastern region had collapsed!
Those eighth ranks had either run away or died. No one dared remain after this battle. Even if they did, they had to bow their heads and bend the knee. To be honest, Long Zhan hadn’t thought that this day would come so quickly!
He’d thought that a joint offensive between New Martial and Silver Moon could take the east, but they wouldn’t do so that quickly or easily.
The dragon wouldn’t let them achieve their goals so easily either.
The truth... was a great surprise to him. It’d been a few short months since Li Hao left the four regions. New Martial and Silver Moon had conquered the east in less than a year!
Reincarnation, Arctic Frost, Gemini, Sun Moon, Earth Fissure...
All of these worlds had crumbled away. The backbone of the east had been shattered.
Of the three overlords, they’d lost Earth Spirit and Hornet. They would have to watch out for Chaos Sky in the immediate future. Chaos Sky hadn’t lost anything, at least not on the surface. That was likely a headache for the other two overlords as well.
They probably hadn’t thought that this venture would fail, and that Li Hao would only kill their people. The young man had spared Peng Cheng and those under Chaos Sky. Not a single one of those three eighth ranks had died. They were also returning with quite a few seventh ranks.
Li Hao... might have very possibly done that on purpose.
“It’s fine, there’s nothing to it,” Li Hao responded.
“Did you spare Peng Cheng and the rest to facilitate Chaos Sky’s invasion of the north and south?” Long Zhan recovered his composure with a smile.
“It’s not that.” Li Hao shook his head. “Just that... my strength isn’t up to the task. I am indeed quite weak at the moment. If Senior Long Zhan makes a move now, the Human King and I might be unable to defend ourselves...”
“You’re just joking,” chuckled Long Zhan. “You want nothing more than for me to leave the four regions, don’t you? Skyward is probably going to officially return soon, I can sense it. A large number of exalted emperors have died and the eastern region is about to be unified. It’ll be too late for them if they don’t come back!
“Since the two of us are here today, I’ll use this time to ask you something.” A solemn look entered the dragon’s eyes. “Are you going to help them when they return?”
“I must aid Coiling Dragon, Flamefire, and Water Spirit when they return,” Li Hao said after some thought. “I don’t care what you want to do or what you’re thinking, but those three need to be able to return and return safely!
“They must also retain their battle strength. Either they remain in Skyward’s dao universe or I’ll take their dao star with me. Whatever it is, these three come under my protection!”
He finally had the right to stand in front of Long Zhan and make these demands.
“If the senior stops me, then we will have a war on our hands!” Li Hao’s shadow wavered with laughter. “If the senior is willing to grant this junior’s request, then this junior naturally has no desire to fight with the senior at present. There is no meaning in doing so! The overlords of the three regions would want nothing more...”
