Chapter 657: Battle of the Dao Integration Stage Super Mighty Figures

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Laden felt extremely humiliated, but he was still extremely glad that he had been saved from what would have been certain death.

The mighty figure that had come to save him was one of the four Dao Integration Stage emperors of the Divine Palace of Life, Emperor An Mang.

Emperor An Mang was also the previous generation holy disciple, and his power was second to only Emperor Fu Tian among the four emperors.

“How about we end this here, Emperor Tian Huang? Laden did no real harm, and we won’t seek any reparations for the death of the Dark Poison Lord as well as the destruction of the twelve cities. Why don’t we just let bygones be bygones?” Emperor An Mang proposed in a polite voice.

The Blood Tribe had paid a much heavier price than the Heavenly Court during this sequence of events, so it was already quite a compromise for one of the emperors of the Blood Tribe to propose a truce.

However, Emperor Tian Huang immediately shook his head without even thinking. “No! Laden must die!”

Emperor An Mang’s expression darkened. “Why? I’ve just spoken to him via voice transmission, and he hasn’t killed any cultivators from the Heavenly Court.”

Emperor Tian Huang’s eyes flashed with lightning as he spoke in a cold voice, “That may be the case, but if I had arrived at the scene any later than I had, countless prodigies and citizens of the Heavenly Court would have fallen at Laden’s hands. I can’t allow someone like this to live on in this world!”

“But none of that happened. I can also make a promise now that we won’t target any of those people,” Emperor An Mang replied.

“Heh… haven’t you heard of the crime known as attempted murder?” A taunting sneer appeared on Emperor Tian Huang’s face.

“Attempted murder?” Emperor An Mang was slightly taken aback.

Right at this moment, an extremely powerful bolt of lightning suddenly flashed toward Laden.

Laden was scared sh*tless by this nightmarish bolt of lightning as a sense of impending doom gripped his body again.

However, an inky black palm suddenly appeared before him like an all-engulfing abyss that caught the bolt of lightning before slowly absorbing it.

“Emperor Tian Huang, are you really unwilling to end this peacefully?” Emperor An Mang furrowed his brows in confusion. He didn’t understand why Emperor Tian Huang would force his hand like this.

Emperor Tian Huang stepped forward and lightning exploded in the sky within a radius of fifty kilometers before instantly pulverizing the earth. All the living beings below didn’t even have a chance to yell in anguish before they were reduced to dust by the countless bolts of lightning.

“Tian Huang, you’re going too far!” Emperor An Mang had clearly been enraged by Emperor Tian Huang’s provocative actions as a boundless expanse of darkness appeared overhead, obscuring the light of the stars and the moon

“Quit the chitchat. You’ll have to fight me if you want to stop me from killing Laden!” Emperor Tian Huang roared with laughter as he pounced toward Emperor An Mang.

Emperor An Mang unleashed his great dao of death and darkness as heaven and earth wailed in anguish, and everything descended into complete darkness.

Emperor Tian Huang summoned countless bolts of lightning, reducing everything around him to oblivion.

The battle between two Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures erupted at this moment!

Laden took advantage of this opportunity to flee the scene as if his life depended on it. During the process, he unleashed many different mystical techniques and used a few life-saving artifacts to run as far away as he could from that place, which was like hell on earth to him.

He didn’t dare to spectate the battle in fear of being blasted to death by Emperor Tian Huang’s chaotic lightning.

Laden transformed into a streak of crimson light as he fled toward the Divine Palace of Life. His only thought at this moment was to escape to his father’s side before slowly nursing his injuries…

Not only had he used up an extremely valuable life-saving device during this battle, but even his dao foundation had also sustained significant damage, which meant that his progression to Dao Integration Stage would have to be indefinitely postponed.

“Unforgivable, unforgivable… This is all because of that dragon and that human!” Laden gritted his teeth with rage as he cursed An Lin and Xiao Ze.

He swore a vow to himself that he was going to find an opportunity in the future to exact revenge on the two of them.

Boom boom boom…

Atop the city wall, An Lin and the others stared off into the distance with bewilderment etched on their faces.

“Is this an earthquake?” Su Qianyun muttered in her mellow voice.

“There is always a very deliberate rhythm to the tremors caused by earthquakes, so the vibrations definitely wouldn’t be as sporadic as it now.” Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head and said, “I think someone’s conducting a mysterious experiment.”

An Lin’s face darkened upon hearing this. “These tremors are clearly triggered by a battle! Emperor Tian Huang must be fighting someone!”

Xu Xiaolan’s eyes immediately lit up. “It must be a battle between Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures! Should we go and spectate? Perhaps it will help us attain enlightenment.”

An Lin didn’t have a chance to reply before Sword Immortal Ling Xiao rejected the idea with a stern expression. “No! All of you have to stay here. A battle between such powerful beings could easily spell doom for any nearby spectators.”

The sissy Chen Yu nodded in agreement. “I remember a thousand years ago, Emperor Ziwei clashed with the Divine Bat Emperor of the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool. There was a Dragon Tribe Return to Void Stage mighty figure who went to spectate the battle, but he was blasted to death as a collateral casualty by the repercussions from one of the Divine Bat Emperor’s spell techniques. The Dragon Tribe has no Dao Integration Stage mighty figure within their ranks so they could only let the whole thing slide…”

An Lin felt a little sorry for the Dragon Tribe upon hearing this.

However, he then thought about the unfair treatment the Dragon Princess had received, and he was no longer able to summon up any sympathy for them.

The battle between Emperor Tian Huang and Emperor An Mang ended in a tie.

It looked like neither of them was able to gain the upper hand over the other, but the reality of the situation was that a massive area of the Dark Marshlands over a thousand kilometers in radius had been reduced to ashes.

During the process, twelve cities were destroyed and hundreds of thousands of cultivators from the Blood Tribe fell as collateral damage.

As Emperor An Mang was one of the parties that participate in this battle, the Blood Tribe had to bear all the collateral damage.

Emperor An Mang finally understood why Emperor Tian Huang was intent on battling him. He was trying to use this as a f*cking excuse to lay waste to the Dark Marshlands!

Before he left, Emperor Tian Huang chortled with glee. “Let’s battle again soon!”

Emperor An Mang had been completely enraged at this point, and he almost chased Emperor Tian Huang into the Kingdom of the Nine States, but his actions were deterred by thoughts of the other four Heavenly Court emperors. “I’ll remember what you did here today, Tian Huang!”

He could only leave an empty threat as Emperor Tian Huang flashed away into the distance as a bolt of lightning.

Thus, everything came to an end.

An Lin was a little taken aback by the news that surfaced later, which stated that Emperor Tian Huang wasn’t able to kill Laden in the end.

However, it seemed quite plausible when he thought about it.

Laden was one of the top prodigies of the Blood Tribe who had a great chance of progressing to the Dao Integration Stage. As such, the Blood Tribe would naturally be extremely protective toward him and bestow upon him many trump cards, which would make him difficult to kill.

Before Emperor Tian Huang departed, he left a wisp of divine intent at Huang Quan City in case other Blood Tribe mighty figures came to seek vengeance.

Thus, peace resumed in Huang Quan City.

However, after the preceding incident, not only did all the students have no intention of venturing into the Dark Marshlands anymore, even the soldiers refused to patrol the surrounding areas.

Prior to all this, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao had urged the students to make regular patrols in order to scout for Blood Tribe spies. However, even that activity had been canceled in the aftermath of Laden’s invasion.

Thus, everyone once again resumed their daily lives of standing atop the city wall and staring blankly into the distance.

Two days later, Tina was fully recovered after a long slumber, and she prepared to enter the Divine Mirror World with An Lin again.
