Chapter 877: Suppress
Li Pin chuckled lightly. "An ambush? Excellent."
Not the slightest surprise showed on his face.
In contrast, Divine Emperor Xi’s gaze turned colder. "A Unique Lifeform, Divine Emperor Xuan Huang. A traitor of the Intelligent Lifeform Race, Deep Blue. Zhu Zhao, I knew from the moment you joined the Astral Lord Council that you had thrown away every last shred of principle.
"But I didn't think you'd go this far, bringing them straight into the human core, the Myriad Astral God Hall. Clearly, you've been preparing for this moment all along. These methods were meant for me, weren't they? But by chance, you're now using them on Origin."
Zhu Zhao coldly said, "You killed Jin'que. What makes you any better than us? He was humanity's brightest prodigy in a thousand years, with every chance to claim the twelfth seat of the Supreme Council. When you killed him, did you ever think about the so-called greater good of our race? In the end, it's just the same story. Winners become rulers, losers become criminals. At this point, the only thing left is to settle this. Victory decides everything. The victor writes history. The loser loses all."
"Well said," Xuan Huang said nonchalantly. "Cultivation and evolution are deeply personal. To reach greater heights, you step over everything beneath you, using it as a ladder. That includes others, and even entire races. I have no patience for those who talk about sacrificing personal gain for the so-called good of their people. That goes against the very nature of life."
"Then let's begin," Divine Emperor Xi sneered as he rose into the air. "Show me what you've really got, you so-called Uniquel Lifeform."
But before he could make a move, Li Pin stepped in front of him.
"Stand down, Emperor Xi," Li Pin said flatly.
Divine Emperor Xi froze, then looked up at him. "Origin, you—"
"Two Divine Emperors, one peak Intelligent Lifeform. Good. It's the perfect chance for me to test the limits of my power," Li Pin said. "You wanted to see the path I carved out, didn't you? Originally, even if the three of them teamed up and dragged the fight out over a long time, I could have taken them down one by one. But... I don't like battles that rely on grinding out a win over time."
He glanced at Divine Emperor Xi. "You'll see for yourself. The path that convinced your disciple Gu You, as well as Tai Yi, Divine Martial, Dong Xu, and even the Supreme Council to fully support my cultivation demands... what kind of path it truly is."
