Chapter 2033 - 665: Holding Nothing Back
After a single breath, Beiming Palace Director Jianxi, who had quietly fled a thousand seven hundred li away, was cleaved into powder and dust by a single distant slash from Chu Xisheng.
Earlier, he had only split off a bit of spare strength, and that was enough to sever Ren Jianxi’s Kunpeng Body.
Now that he struck with his full might, Ren Jianxi naturally had not even the slightest chance of survival.
His physical body and Primordial Spirit were both annihilated by Chu Xisheng’s single blade.
Just as Chu Xisheng sheathed his blade, Si Chen Star Lord stood three zhang before him, answering Chu Yunyun’s question.
They had still come to an agreement: the precondition was that before Si Chen Star Lord finished answering all questions, he was not to attempt escape again, and during the transaction he had to keep his True Soul Embodiment fixed three zhang before Chu Yunyun.
—At this distance, unless a Yang God or Yin God personally took action, even if Si Chen Star Lord sprouted several more pairs of wings, it would be hard for him to escape the blades and spears of this husband and wife.
Si Chen Star Lord agreed with extreme straightforwardness.
Since he could not escape anyway—Si Chen had already tried every method, yet could not break out from the Heaven and Earth Net Chu Xisheng had woven for him—he did not care.
Si Chen Star Lord had, after all, done some homework on the character of the Chu Xisheng couple.
He knew that although this current Human Emperor was sinister and vicious, he was by no means the sort to break faith.
No! The reason this youngster could make words weigh as heavy as nine tripods, promise and deed ever aligned, was precisely to make it convenient for him to carry out all manner of sinister and vicious deeds.
"—The ’Burial Sky Ten-Day Demon Fall’ was, three days ago, a promise the Lord of Deceit made before ’Fire God’ Yanrong, ’Ice God’ Emperor Xuan, ’Water God’ Tiangong, ’Wood God’ Spirit Power, ’Golden God’ Bai Zhu, ’Wind God’ Emperor Shura, ’Void God’ She Yuan and these Ancestor Gods, to the Pangu Gods."
As Si Chen Star Lord spoke, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, humming with a hint of laughter.
His expression remained confident and composed: "It must be mentioned that this time point ten days hence is also the very same one that thirty thousand years ago the Lord of Deceit promised to the All Gods, not altered by even a single moment.
Shen Bore not only holds absolute confidence, he also wishes to use Burial Sky’s death to complete his All Heavens Secret Ceremony. Burial Sky is within his script, doomed from the outset to a fate of Demon Fall—"
Chu Xisheng, Chu Yunyun, and the others all knew these words of Si Chen carried a note of provocation, yet they still exchanged a glance, each seeing in the others’ eyes a cold, sharp fury.
Chu Xisheng gave a cold snort, toying before Si Chen Star Lord’s eyes with the three Sun God Cores in his hand: "Then what method does he intend to use, to make Burial Sky fall into demonic state?"
These three Sun God Cores had been forcibly taken by him from Si Chen Star Lord’s hands.
This True Soul Embodiment of Si Chen carried nothing on him; all his Divine Artifacts were subbodies, not worth much at all.
The only things on Si Chen Star Lord of any slight value were the records of his cultivation of various War Beasts.
At the foot of Blood Bat Mountain, Chu Yunyun had slain several hundred Fierce Beasts of every bizarre variety. Among them, there had even been some of extraordinary power, reaching the level of Lower Eternal.
Those were almost all hybrid bodies of various Divine Beast Bloodline Power, all personally bred by Si Chen.
Chu Xisheng had also demanded a copy of these records.
The Human Clan, just like the Three-legged Golden Crow, also faced the problem of insufficient Divine Army manpower.
And then there were these three Sun God Cores, which Chu Xisheng absolutely had to obtain; he had great use for them.
Si Chen had originally said he had to keep one, saying that under no circumstances could he hand them all over, that he would rather go down together and tear the net than fail to preserve a sample. But when Chu Yunyun lifted her Rebellious God Spear, Si Chen Star Lord still chose compromise.
Watching Chu Xisheng’s movements, Si Chen Star Lord’s face nonetheless grew somewhat stiff.
The fruits of his efforts over tens of thousands of years of operations in the Mortal World were now all in Chu Xisheng’s hands.
He had just tried to sow discord with words, and Chu Xisheng immediately repaid him in kind.
Si Chen Star Lord promptly straightened out his frame of mind, once more putting a smile on his face.
The total of six Sun God Cores were cultivated and condensed by an extremely arduous method—one that was also extremely cruel.
In order to conceal this from the All Gods, he had gone to ground, hiding within the Divine Continent of the Mortal World, gathering several million Humans with exceptionally gifted bloodlines, implanting into them Yang God Bloodline, and in a lightless underground space slowly nurturing them.
Once they had been nurtured to a certain stage, Si Chen would forcibly extract their bloodlines, finally condensing them into these Sun God Cores.
He had indeed poured much effort into this, remaining in the Mortal World for several thousand years because of it, reaping one crop after another.
However, these Sun God Cores ultimately still originated from the Human Clan, so returning them to this Human Emperor Chu Xisheng was of no consequence.
Si Chen had already completed the majority of his experiments, and had already deduced a perfected dharma gate for condensing Sun God Cores.
When he returned, using the Golden Crow Lineage’s bloodline to condense Sun God Cores would be the same; only, in that case, at least six hundred thousand Golden Crow Bloodline members would have to give their lives for it.
For a single core alone, a hundred thousand Golden Crow Bloodline members were needed.
What a pity—
Si Chen Star Lord’s expression did not change as he continued: "What method Shen Bore will use—how could that be something I can know? No matter how arrogant and mad he is, he would not proclaim his methods in open court. But as far as I currently understand, Shen Bore has already begun attacking from multiple directions.
Helping Emperor Jianyuan condense the first generation Heavenly Gaze and stirring up the Corpse Disaster in the Divine Continent North Domain is one; inciting the Nine Phoenix to besiege and slay Si Huangquan is the second; Blood Sacrifice is the third. There may be some other measures as well, which I am not clear on.
In that battle months ago where the Wood Sword Immortal condensed the Star, you laid out the board so that this boundless Star Domain blazed with war on every side, leaving him and the All Gods unable to aid each other front and rear. This time, he is simply returning the favor in kind."
When Chu Xisheng heard the words "Nine Phoenix besieging and slaying Si Huangquan," his brows instantly knit into a deep frown.
