Chapter 812

Shen Mo then said without shying away, "No matter what method I'm using, anything would suffice as a solution as long as it helps you break through. Brother Long, you've been cultivating all your life. Don't you want to break through to the Heavenly God Tier to see what it's like to be another level higher?"

Long Shiya scoffed, "You're just saying it – who doesn't know how to make empty promises? Haven't you been stuck at the Maximum Level of the Heavenly Emperor Tier for many years already as well?"

Shen Mo laughed out loud, nodded and said, "That's right, perhaps it'll be rather difficult to convince you with empty promises, Brother Long. I shall prove it to you with the truth."

The aura on Shen Mo grew more powerful as he spoke, and a dense black glow then shot up from his body. Suddenly, the entire sky became dark, especially the wide area behind Shen Mo. A gigantic purplish-black shadow appeared slowly, looking like an enormous head with a huge mouth capable of engulfing everything. Darkness, destruction, fear and other many negative emotions exploded at that moment. Even the people atop the Heavenly Snow Mountain felt that the gigantic mouth wanted to engulf it in its entirety.

The people who were present were powerhouses that were above the Heavenly King-tier. All of them could adjust the Atmospheric Energy for their personal use and they could sense it at its deepest. They soon realized that all sorts of attribute elements in the air broke when the sky turned dark and was absorbed ferociously by the endless black shadow. There was a layer made of an odd black color that appeared around Shen Mo's entire body. His eyes had turned dark purple and instead of calling him a human, perhaps it would be more apt to say that he looked more like the devil. Almost everyone present was affected by the terrifying aura.

"A Divine Territory?" Countless exclamations broke out on top of Heavenly Snow Mountain. Everyone knew what that was about, naturally, they recognized the ability Shen Mo was using.

Aside from a Divine Territory, what other ability could be this powerful? Xue Ao'tian, Shangguan Tianyang, Tianyue and the rest turned serious. They knew very well what a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse could do. Even ten Heavenly Emperors combined could not fight a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse. Besides, the existence of a Heavenly God would mean that his parents would benefit from his ability. Otherwise, Xue Ao'tian would not be capable of bringing the Heavenly Snow Mountain to such a high position on the mainland with his powerful cultivation base.

The Mountain Lord of Heavenly Snow Mountain was the one and only Heavenly God-tier powerhouse in the world and was ranked No.1 throughout his generation. His position became unstable when Shen Mo showcased his Destructive Divine Territory. Most importantly, everybody present was smart. Naturally, they would wonder — even the Blood Red Hell's Deputy Hell Lord was already at the Heavenly God Tier. How could Fen Tian, who was the Hell Lord, not be a Heavenly God?

The release of the Destructive Divine Territory, as well as the conversation between Shen Mo and Long Shiya would mean that he was trying to make Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor succumb to him without having to put up a fight. The Blood Red Hell's true color had finally been revealed at that very moment. Shen Mo's eyes that had turned a dark purple were glaring ferociously at his opponent. As his opponent, Long Shiya was deeply affected by his Destructive Divine Territory. Although Shen Mo did not take action, the terrifying Destructive Thoughts that came from the Destructive Divine Territory seemed like it was going to break his body apart. The six-colored glow around his body was continuously diminishing, seeming like it was going to collapse anytime.

Long Shiya chuckled and said, "I didn't realize that you've already broken through the Heavenly Emperor Tier. The Destructive Divine Territory… Such a great feeling to be able to destroy the heavens and earth!"

Shen Mo then said with his deep voice, "Brother Long, this will be your last chance. If you're willing, especially with your intelligence and foundation, you'll be even more powerful than I am in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Long Shiya maintained the smile on his face. Despite having to face the overbearing suppression of the Destructive Divine Territory, he seemed not the least bit pressured. "I've never expected you, Shen Mo, to show me such a majestic thing. Since you've shown me something, I shall show you something in return."

The smile on Long Shiya's face disappeared suddenly as he spoke. He pointed to the sky with his left hand and the ground with his right hand. Both his hands started moving at the same time, and his six-colored glow that was growing weak from the Destructive Divine Territory's suppression increased in power ferociously out of the blue. Then, two hexagrams appeared — one above his head, the other beneath his feet.

The dazzling six-colored glow burst out suddenly and shot into the sky. They forcefully broke open the Destruction Energy and a large area of darkness in the sky was illuminated by the rays of the six-colored glow. The sun shone from the sky onto the top of the six-colored glow, forming a big cloud illuminated by the six-colored glow in the sky. The Destructive Divine Territory could not destroy the cloud of light that was consolidated by the six attributes. A plump shadow appeared behind Long Shiya, the gigantic shadow being hundreds of feet tall. It was the enlarged version of himself.

Everyone atop the Heavenly Snow Mountain was shocked to see that happening before their eyes. Xue Ao'tian mumbled, "He did it! He has really done it! Six Ultimate Divine Territory, he has broken through to the Heavenly God Tier now." Disappointment flashed across Xue Ao'tian's face. If they were to ask who amongst them knew Long Shiya best, it was not Zhou Weiqing, but Xue Ao'tian. He had fought with Long Shiya many a time, and Xue Ao'tian knew very well that he was nothing like Long Shiya when their talents were compared. Even if he possessed the Saint Attribute, his talents paled in comparison to Long Shiya's. The reason why he managed to break through to the Heavenly God Tier was because he had the Saint Land's support as the Mountain Lord of the Heavenly Snow Mountain. Meanwhile, Long Shiya achieved what he had today all with his own abilities.

Long Shiya had broken through the level of Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor to achieve the level of a Six Ultimate Heavenly God. Xue Ao'tian knew that he might not be able to fight Long Shiya any longer if it was based purely on their individual abilities. Shock then overcame Fen Tian. He had never thought that Long Shiya would be able to break through to the Heavenly God Tier.

What did it mean when a Saint Land had a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse? It was clear with only one look at the Heavenly Snow Mountain. At that moment, nobody was questioning the Peerless Sect's position as a Saint Land any longer. Six Ultimate Heavenly God Long Shiya and the Maximum Level Heavenly Emperor-tier Demonic Emperor Wu Yunyue – both of them were enough to support the powerful Saint Land. Furthermore, Zhou Weiqing did not lose to Fen Tian when he was fighting the latter earlier. Even if Fen Tian held back, what Zhou Weiqing did was rather stunning.

Initially, Shen Mo was a little shocked when he saw Long Shiya releasing the Divine Territory but he managed to react swiftly. His expression dimmed as an intense will to kill exploded from within his body. The petrifying Destructive Thoughts that were released from the Destructive Divine Territory dashed towards the Six Ultimate Divine Territory that Long Shiya released ferociously.

The characteristic of the Destructive Divine Territory was destruction – pure destruction, while Long Shiya's Six Ultimate Divine Territory's characteristic was balanced. With the harmony between the six attributes, a system created from the Six Ultimate Divine Territory containing a little bit of Saint Energy aura was formed. No matter how much Destructive Energy was attacking it externally, it could not be destroyed – only neutralized and absorbed.

"Congratulations Brother Long, I didn't know that you've already achieved the Heavenly God Tier. It seems like you are not taking my suggestion into consideration anymore." Shen Mo said in a cunning manner.

Long Shiya pouted and said in disdain, "You only figured it out now? What an idiot."

Fatty Long, since you're asking for death, I shall fulfill your wish." Shen Mo had a sinister look in his eyes, as he slapped Long Shiya with his palm in the air. At the same time, dark purple light flowed around his body. A ten-piece legendary set was put on his body, and dark purple battle axes appeared in both his hands. The demonic shadow behind him opened its mouth as a deafening shriek was heard. All of the Destructive Energy expanded and dashed towards Long Shiya's Six Ultimate Divine Territory.

The Hiltless Heavenly Purging Set appeared on Long Shiya's body, while the Silver Octagon Plum Blossom Hammers appeared on both sides of his body. The shadow that was a hundred feet tall behind him moved; the plump shadow then collided with the gigantic black mouth.

Crack —

The sky seemed to break open from their collision. The shadow that Long Shiya created was torn by the gigantic mouth ruthlessly, but it took a hard blow from the shadow's hammer.

Suddenly, the black light and the six-colored glow in the sky vibrated intensely. The two Divine Territories were fighting head-on. Long Shiya and Shen Mo did not just watch without doing anything. The two of them began to battle despite being hundreds of meters away from each other. Shen Mo threw the battle hammers in his hands, and a black Light Blade dashed towards Long Shiya following the trail of the crack in the skies. Long Shiya separated his hammers, and a gigantic black hole that was more than a hundred meters in diameter appeared between them. A loud bang then ensued.

It was a whole new experience in comparison to the battle between a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse and a cultivator on the Heavenly Emperor Tier earlier. However, the powerhouses on top of the Heavenly Snow Mountain felt a catastrophic energy wave from the two simple collisions.

Fortunately, the both of them controlled themselves as they ascended higher into the sky in unison during the battle, lest the impact from their collisions landed on the Heavenly Snow Mountain. Otherwise, the powerhouses from the Five Saint Lands would be forced to take action.

The gigantic black hole had separated Long Shiya and Shen Mo temporarily. Although they were both Heavenly God-tier powerhouses, they did not dare to be absorbed into the black hole.

With a powerful enemy close by, it would be difficult for any of them to escape. Long Shiya backed off and quickly entered the hundred foot shadow that he created from his Divine Territory. Suddenly, the shadow became clearer as it materialized. The six-colored glow was shining brightly as if it was borrowing the light from the sun. The glows were flowing, and massive Destruction Energy was broken down. Within a second, the tables were turned on the Divine Territory.

Indeed, the Destruction Attribute was completely different from the Saint Energy's Creation Attribute. Shen Mo's Destructive Divine Territory was more powerful than most Divine Territories as he had already achieved the Heavenly God Tier. Fortunately, there was a certain amount of Saint Energy in Long Shiya's Six Ultimate Divine Territory. Otherwise, under the onslaught of the Destructive Divine Territory, he would be at the losing end despite having the six attributes in his pocket. However, he did not consolidate a Saint Nucleus Core after all. Although the Saint Nucleus Core that Zhou Weiqing embedded into his body was pure, the integration of it with his personal cultivation base was limited to the Six Ultimate Divine Territory's Saint Energy aura.

Chapter 813

Both of them were Low-Level Heavenly God-tier powerhouses. Regarding their cultivation base, Long Shiya who possessed six attributes had the upper hand. However, regarding their Divine Territories, Shen Mo's was far superior. Moreover, Shen Mo had a ten-piece legendary set on him, which surpassed the nine-piece Hiltless Heavenly Purging Set. Therefore, Long Shiya was at a slight disadvantage, as the both of them were equally matched.

Seeing that Long Shiya transformed himself into a shadow, Shen Mo did not just watch and do nothing. He moved his body in a flash and indulged in his own Destructive Thought. The huge engulfing mouth expanded at an instant, and the rich purplish-black color seemed like it had materialized as it attempted to bite Long Shiya ferociously. The combination of the Divine Territory and the physical body was a battle technique exclusive to a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse. At that moment, they were both like gods. If their attacks were used in human wars, it was sufficient to destroy hundreds of thousands of soldiers within a short period of time.

Besides, the biggest characteristic of the Heavenly God-tier powerhouse was that their personal cultivation base was almost unlimited. Without having to absorb too much Atmospheric Energy for their individual circulation, they could create massive amounts of energy on their own. That was the biggest difference between the Heavenly God Tier and the Heavenly Emperor Tier. Therefore, even though Shen Mo's overall ability was slightly more powerful than Long Shiya's, it was not easy to take advantage of the latter.

It had been years since the last battle between the Heavenly God-tier powerhouses on the Boundless Mainland. At that moment, the Five Great Saints Lands' powerhouses had even forgotten that the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands was ongoing. All of them were focused as they looked into the sky, as none of them wanted to miss such an exciting battle.

The huge engulfing mouth that Shen Mo merged with became extremely ferocious and attempted to bite Long Shiya's gigantic body in a frenzied manner. He managed to tear a couple of pieces of his flesh forcefully, very quickly. Moreover, a layer of a rich, black destructive Qi current dashed up wildly with every tear, as it attempted to cover Long Shiya's gigantic body so it could erode his body with Destructive Thought.

It was obvious that Long Shiya was on the losing end now. However, it was not as easy to handle the Six Ultimate Heavenly God. After a loud bang was heard, Long Shiya's gigantic body – which was in the air – became transparent out of nowhere, while the six-colored lights separated themselves into individual lights. Then, a series of peculiar sights appeared in the sky.

The first that erupted was the Wind Attribute. A rich green light now erupted from the Six Ultimate Heavenly God's gigantic body. Countless Wind Blades formed into a tornado and sliced the Destruction Energy from all directions. A screeching sound was made when the Destruction Energy was sliced by the Wind Attribute. Regular people aside, even Heavenly King-tier powerhouses activated their Heavenly Energy to protect their ears or they may lose their ability to hear forever.

This was just the beginning. The reason why the Wind Blades did not destroy the Destruction Attribute right away was mainly caused by the limited amount of Saint Energy in them. Under such conditions, although the Wing Blade's slicing ability was limited, it prevented the terrifying Destruction Attribute energy from further eroding Long Shiya's.

Countless green Wind Blades were clearly seen embedded in the black energy. Then, the Fire Attribute was the next one to erupt. The Fire Attribute attack was the most primitive one — a fireball. The fireballs did not directly hit the Destruction Energy. Instead, it collided with the Wind Blades that erupted earlier. There is a saying that goes — the wind helps the spread of fire. During the collision of the Wind Blades and the fireballs, the latter exploded first and a series of roars could be heard. On top of that, the series of explosions combined with the Wind Attribute resulted in the strengthening of the terrifying Fire Attribute energy even further. The explosion created a space around the gigantic body that Long Shiya had transformed into. Massive amounts of Destruction Energy had been driven out. Although it could not be destroyed, at least it managed to put a distance between them.

Shen Mo was shocked. He had never encountered something like this for as long as he possessed the Destruction Attribute. To him, the Wind Attribute, Fire Attribute or any element attributes could be absorbed by the Destruction Attribute easily. However, what he was experiencing was not like that at all. Furthermore, he was far behind the control ability that Long Shiya had for the energy. Although the Destruction Attribute had the upper hand – like what the Mountain Lord of Heavenly Snow Mountain Xue Ao'tian had mentioned before – Long Shiya had outstanding talent as the Six Ultimate Heavenly Path Formation was one-of-a-kind. In terms of control, almost nobody could compare to Long Shiya. Even Xue Ao'tian admitted that he was no match for Long Shiya before he arrived the Heavenly God Tier.

At that moment, Long Shiya showcased his powerful control ability. Each of the fireballs positioned with every single one of the Wind Blades. That alone was shocking enough. It was not just one or two fireballs, but at least tens of thousands of fireballs that were so dense, it could not even be seen with the naked eye in the collision!

Fire came after wind, but earth came after fire. Sharp, earthy thorns exploded from the air. At an instant, Long Shiya's body looked like it had transformed into a huge porcupine. Countless earthy thorns passed across the flames and pierced the Destruction Attribute. Each earthy thorn instantly became harder under the high temperature as they passed through the flames. Most of the earthy thorns were even refined to the point that they looked crystal clear, akin to a stone sculpture. Their destructive ability had increased tremendously.

After earth, came water. Countless pillars of water erupted. They were not there to destroy but to boost the earthy thorns. Each of them had become the driving force for the earthy thorns to move forward. Under such conditions, the impact of the earthy thorns became even more terrifying. One could see clearly that the Destruction Energy that made it hard for them to move forward earlier was now pierced by countless earthy thorns. As a series of bangs filled the air, narrow and long channels were opened.

Under such circumstances, even a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse who could produce tremendous energy could not withstand such large amounts of energy consumption! The Destructive Divine Territory that initially had a clear lead and the upper hand, had suddenly dimmed a little. However, this was not the end of Long Shiya's onslaught. He was the Six Ultimate Heavenly God, not the Four Ultimate Heavenly God.

The last to appear was naturally Light and Darkness. These two do not appear as individuals but as one. One after the other, sparkling, crystal clear light balls appeared out of thin air. The balls of light were rather peculiar as they had two colors to them – black on one side and gold on the other. The two colors took their turns shining in the sky as they released a peculiar wave of energy. If observed closely, one would notice that the dual-colored light balls had circles of distorted energy waves around them. It was easy to imagine how terrifying the energy was in there.

The light balls used the simplest route as they headed toward the channels created from the piercing earthy thorns. A terrifying wave of energy was flowing in the air. The light balls did not pierce through these channels. Instead, they paused when they reached the center of the Destructive Energy. As the light balls paused midair, the powerhouses on the Heavenly Snow Mountain below held their breaths. Many of them predicted what Long Shiya was going to do – even Shen Mo knew it all too well. However, he did not have the ability to stop Long Shiya at that moment at all.

Shen Mo had been handling the explosion of the four attributes in a state of panic earlier. His Divine Territory might not be able to hold out from the full-force impact by the four attributes if he did not have the Destructive Divine Territory. As soon as his Destructive Divine Territory was destroyed, his advantage would become a disadvantage. He definitely did not wish to see that happening. He knew very well that although the attack that Long Shiya performed was powerful, it drained his body. As long as he managed to withstand this onslaught, he would be the one who would emerge victoriously.

In reality, Shen Mo was being careless. He was relaxed as he had the upper hand earlier. To him, Long Shiya would definitely lose as long as he absorbed his energy with the help of the Destructive Divine Territory. Never would he have thought that Long Shiya would have such an ability. Most importantly, he had underestimated Long Shiya's control of his abilities. If it was performed by someone else, like Zhou Weiqing for example, it would be impossible for him to control it as accurately as Long Shiya. Besides, without accurate control, it was naturally impossible for the four attributes to come together so smoothly, and the impact of the attack would naturally be far less effective than this.

On after the other, the crystal clear, dual-colored light balls that seemed shine with various colors paused in mid-air just like that. The locations that they paused at was almost at the center of the channel. At that moment, the only thing that Shen Mo could do was to give his all to boost his Destructive Divine Territory to make it denser. However, Long Shiya's attacks were connected to one another without delay.

Then, an explosion occurred. Though the effects of light and darkness colliding should have resulted in the two opposite energies disappearing, they exploded instead. The explosions were ten times to a hundred times more powerful than the explosion of the Fire Attribute. Long Shiya spent his entire life mastering the six attributes to the point where he could control each attribute with utter ease. Naturally, he knew how to control the Light and Darkness Attributes very well. Each of the dual-colored light balls' was separated at a distance with a layer of energy made up from gently merging the six attributes, ensuring they did not come into contact with one another. At that very moment, Long Shiya removed the layer of energy made from the six attributes, causing the terrifying explosion.

Chapter 814

The explosions did not happen at the same time. Instead, it was more like an implosion that gradually developed into an explosion as it spread further. The terrifying explosion made the sky seem like a palace of light and darkness. At this moment, the sky was like it was being lit with splendid fireworks while a large amount of Destruction Attribute energy spread all around. Regardless if it was the gigantic body of Long Shiya or Shen Mo's huge engulfing mouth, neither of them could be seen right now.

The Heavenly Snow Mountain began shaking vigorously. Not only did it tremble here, but even the entire Wan Shou Heaven was shaking. It seemed like the end of the world was coming and everything was about to be destroyed. To Zhou Weiqing, the terrifying energy explosion in the air made him immensely nervous. He knew Long Shiya's abilities very well but it was his master's first time in combat ever since he became a Heavenly God. At the same time, they had no idea how long the opponent had been a Heavenly God cultivator for.

Zhou Weiqing would rather lose the battle and even the entire Grand Tournament of the Saint Lands rather than see Long Shiya get injured. He already thought of surrendering when Long Shiya's Six Ultimate Divine Territory was covered by the opponent's Destructive Divine Territory. However, Zhou Weiqing was shocked at the attack that Long Shiya launched afterward and secretly praised him in his heart — this was true control. Although Zhou Weiqing had Saint Energy and the six attributes, he was far less familiar than Long Shiya when it came to controlling the attributes.

Safe to say, Long Shiya had reached a godlike level of control over his six attributes. The sequence, combination, and control of each attribute were done in perfect harmony. Though it did not seem like the attack was laced with the six attributes, they were actually witnessing something far more powerful than the impact of an attack merged with six attributes.

This was true strength! However, his opponent was a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse after all. After exhibiting such precise control, it had taken a toll on Long Shiya's Divine Thought. If he did not win from this attack, Long Shiya might be at risk. The opponent had defeated two Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouses from the Blood Red Hell and Zhou Weiqing knew that as long as Shen Mo had the opportunity, he would definitely not let go of Long Shiya. Losing to a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse would definitely have a huge impact, be it to Zhou Weiqing or the Peerless Sect. Zhou Weiqing was even ready to join the battle, even if it means going against the rules. He would definitely not let his master die on the Heavenly Snow Mountain.

On the other side, Fen Tian was anxious as well, as Long Shiya becoming a Heavenly God was beyond his expectation. Shen Mo's victory in this battle would bring more opportunities to the Blood Red Hell from the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands, and in order for the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands to carry on according to his plans, the victory of this battle was crucial.

Besides, it was the same thing to the Blood Red Hell as it was extremely important for them to have a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse who possessed the Destructive Divine Territory. Fen Tian might not feel sad even if ten Heavenly Emperors were dead, but he might actually go insane if Shen Mo was killed in the battle.

Fen Tian looked at Zhou Weiqing by instinct and the both of them glared at each other, seemingly wanting to see the strong will to kill in the eyes of the opposing party. Not only did they plan a rescue, they also wanted to fight each other. A confrontational atmosphere broke out all of a sudden. A golden layer filled with the divine aura of a powerhouse appeared at that moment and covered the top of the Heavenly Snow Mountain.

It was the Mountain Lord of the Heavenly Snow Mountain, Xue Ao'tian. Nobody knew what he was thinking about when he looked at Zhou Weiqing and Fen Tian casually. However, a strong tremor descended when the golden glow appeared, creating layers of glowing mist within the golden glow. It was Xue Ao'tian's territory. He did not hope that the Heavenly Snow Mountain would get destroyed by the impact of Long Shiya and Shen Mo's battle. Because of this, he made the first move. If Zhou Weiqing and Fen Tian wanted to fight each other, they would not only have to deal with each other, but would also have to break through these chains.

A terrifying energy wave exploded in the air all of the sudden. Zhou Weiqing looked shocked as he watched the scenes unfold in mid-air. Fen Tian had the same shocked expression as well as they looked at the changes happening in the sky. The initial darkness had disappeared completely, and the Destructive Divine Territory vanished just like that. Finally, it was broken by Six Ultimate Heavenly God's full-force attack.

However, Long Shiya's gigantic body had disappeared as well. The explosion of the Destructive Divine Territory had a major impact on Shen Mo and Long Shiya. He could not hold on to his Six Ultimate Divine Territory anymore as he had over-consumed his Divine Thought. Besides, that was the last attack of the Destructive Divine Territory.

At that moment, Shen Mo and Long Shiya were still in the air but they were pulled a distance of thousands of meters apart. They looked at each other and were both a little pale, especially Shen Mo. His body was slightly shaking while Long Shiya had his eyes closed and his body trembled lightly for a second.

Everyone else was silent. The audience was indulging themselves in the clash of the two Heavenly God-tier powerhouses. Long Shiya who was at a disadvantage against Shen Mo on his cultivation base and Divine Territory managed to turn the tables with his knowledge and amazing control of the six attributes. At that moment, it was hard to tell who was winning but at least the Six Ultimate Heavenly God was not on the losing end.

Safe to say, this was by far the most exciting battle that the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands had ever seen. The battle of two Heavenly Gods had silenced all the attribute energies within hundreds of miles. Shen Mo looked at Long Shiya who was before him with a puzzled look in his eyes. Never did he expect that he would not be able to defeat Long Shiya with his Destructive Divine Territory, especially since he had already arrived at the Heavenly God Tier. He knew very well about his condition – he was wounded. When he got to the Heavenly God Tier, his physique became terrifyingly powerful, making it difficult for him to sustain injuries. However, it was not that easy for him to heal the moment he got wounded.

The current situation was simple. Shen Mo was wounded; he had even wounded his Qi while Long Shiya had exhausted his Divine Thought. Overall, they were in equal positions but Shen Mo was at a slight disadvantage. However, no matter who attempted to kill who, they would still have to brave the risk of the both of them perishing.

"I never thought that Brother Long would be able to destroy my Destructive Divine Thought. Brother Long, why don't we announce this battle as a tie? What do you think of not participating in the tournament any longer? Give the opportunity to other people instead. Let's not change the ranking as well." Shen Mo said quietly.

Long Shiya neither opened his eyes nor argued with him, "Alright." The both of them descended from the sky after that simple response and returned to their places accordingly. They crossed their legs to recover as soon as they could, at almost the same time.

Zhou Weiqing and Fen Tian went behind them respectively and helped them heal. Xue Ao'tian and Shangguan Tianyang looked at each other and had an odd expression in their eyes. They were in luck today. They knew very well that as long as they did not join the tournament, Long Shiya or Shen Mo could easily defeat any contender from both sides. The tie allowed the Heavenly Snow Mountain and the Heaven's Expanse Palace to stay in the tournament.

It was a lady who entered the ring from the Peerless Sect's corner. Shangguan Tianyang and Tianyue looked uncomfortable when they saw the lady appearing, as it was Shangguan Xue'er who represented the Peerless Sect this time. The situation was the same as it was in the last battle. Two Heavenly King-tier powerhouses represented the Heavenly Snow Mountain and the Heaven's Expanse Palace. However, the Heavenly Snow Mountain had the upper hand this time. If they won, they would have to quit the tournament and pass the next battle to Love Valley and Blood Red Hell.

This time, Huang Xingyun seemed to have learned his lesson and sent out a Heavenly King-tier powerhouse right away. Fen Tian sent a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse after some thought, but the results were expected – the Blood Red Hell won. Shangguan Tianyang and Shangguan Tianyue then became anxious all of a sudden. Although they knew that Shangguan Xue'er had almost reached the Heavenly King Tier and that she had consolidated a few pieces of the Boundless Infinitum Set, she was facing a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse from the Blood Red Hell! It was not easy to fight a Heavenly Emperor cultivator from the Blood Red Hell who possessed the Destruction Attribute. Even with the slightest mistake, she might lose her life. The Peerless Sect had killed the people from the Blood Red Hell before. They would definitely not show mercy to Shangguan Xue'er.

The two brothers then looked at Long Shiya who stopped his battle due to his wounds and shifted their gaze toward Zhou Weiqing. They had a strong resentment and questions in their eyes. The Heavenly Emperor that was sent by the Blood Red Hell was called Tian Yu. In Blood Red Hell, the family name 'Tian' and 'Shen' were the two biggest family names that had been managing the Blood Red Hell. Fen Tian had the family name of Tian but it got switched around. The powerhouse who was named Tian Yu was Fen Tian's cousin.

Tian Yu could not help but frown when he looked at the young Shangguan Xue'er and said in disdain, "It seems like the Peerless Sect is left with Wu Yunyue and Long Shiya, those two old men. Even a little girl like you would have to sacrifice your life here."

Shangguan Xue'er looked coldly and Zhou Weiqing spoke just as she was about to say something, "Wait."

Zhou Weiqing strode to Shangguan Xue'er as he spoke. He then said to Fen Tian who was on the Blood Red Hell's side, "If I recall correctly, according to the rules of the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands, the lords of the Five Great Saints Lands can change the participants on their own corner as and when they please. Am I right?"

Everyone was shocked by what Zhou Weiqing had just said. The Peerless Sect's ability had been proven by Wu Yunyue and Long Shiya – nobody dared to underestimate them. However, what Zhou Weiqing just did had confused everyone there.

Chapter 815

Indeed, there was a rule in the Grand Tournament of the Saint Lands that states that the Lord of a Saint Land could choose to replace himself with whomever that was sent into combat from his corner whenever he pleased. However, there was a condition that mentioned that the Lord of the Saint Land must not fail. Once he did, it would be equivalent to the disqualification of that Saint Land. Therefore, the Lord of the Saint Lands would usually choose to fight in the last battle to be the one to determine their victory. Nobody expected Zhou Weiqing to fight when the tables were turned to the advantage of the Peerless Sect.

Did they really not have anyone else like Tian Yu claimed? However, the lady wearing the hood who killed the Heavenly King from the Blood Red Hell was at least a powerhouse with the cultivation base of a Heavenly Emperor. In terms of power, she might even be on par with Wu Yunyue… So why did they let Zhou Weiqing fight instead of her?

Everyone was confused by the odd strategy that Zhou Weiqing was using. Xue Ao'Tian then said in his deep voice, "There really is such a rule in the tournament, but are you sure you want to fight? As soon as you lose, your Peerless Sect will no longer be able to join the rest of the Grand Tournament of the Saint Lands."

Zhou Weiqing naturally lifted his hand, held Shangguan Xue'er's slender waist and said, "Yes. I'm sure. I want to fight."

Shangguan Xue'er moved her waist away slightly and avoided Zhou Weiqing's beastly hand. She rolled her eyes at him without saying anything and walked straight back to the Peerless Sect's corner. Zhou Weiqing retrieved his hand awkwardly and coughed twice before saying to Tian Yu, "Please."

Tian Yu instantly became more anxious when Shangguan Xue'er was replaced by Zhou Weiqing. No matter how young Zhou Weiqing was, he was the Lord of a Saint Land, unmatched by those in his generation. Besides, judging from Zhou Weiqing's clash with Fen Tian earlier, his ability was definitely not weak. Under such conditions, Tian Yu did not have the confidence to win at all. Fen Tian would definitely not fight at a time like that. He was slightly shocked but his shock returned to normal when he saw Zhou Weiqing's odd battle strategy.

Whether it was Fen Tian or the rest of those who were present, most of them had the same thought – the Peerless Sect lacked support. It seemed like the Peerless Sect had an advantage during the beginning of the tournament as they had the best score. However, Long Shiya and Wu Yunyue did not actually defeat that many opponents. Likewise, Long Shiya, who was at the Heavenly God Tier, only fought Shen Mo before ending the battle. He did not manage to show much of his abilities. Meanwhile, there were no other powerhouses amongst the ranks of the Peerless Sect. Zhou Weiqing may have great abilities, but was it possible that he was more powerful than his mentor? Moreover, him fighting so early in the battle would give many opportunities for the other Saint Lands to test the water. Seeing as he was about to do battle in the fourth round on his own, how many rounds would he be able to last regardless of how powerful his ability was?

Tian Yu moved in a flash and appeared tens of meters above the sky. A dark glow shot out from his back as two gigantic, black Destruction Energy Wings opened in the air. The black wings were so clear that those present could even see each individual feather. However, the feathers were consolidated with the dense Destructive Energy. He flapped his wings hard and they supported his body all the way. Almost instantly, he was thousands of meters above the ground.

Zhou Weiqing's movement was obviously much slower than Tian Yu's. However, he immediately disappeared from where he was the moment he took a step. What he just did made everyone's pupils shrink a little. Although it was not Zhou Weiqing's first time using Blink after mastering the Spatial Laws, it was still impressive to many.

Tian Yu had been locking his thoughts on Zhou Weiqing and he reacted quickly. As soon as Zhou Weiqing disappeared, the wings on his back wrapped around each other and rotated his body in mid-air. With the gigantic, black wings made of energy protecting his body, Destructive Energy exploded in the air and swept through at least a hundred square meters of space. Although the area of effect was limited, the area was filled with a powerful Destructive Storm. Tian Yu thought to himself, 'Even if Zhou Weiqing was even more powerful than he was, he would still not dare to appear within his Destructive Storm. Otherwise, he would certainly have the confidence to kill Zhou Weiqing.' Therefore, he put on his legendary set as soon as he released the Destructive Storm.

However, many things would not change following what a person wanted. Often, the impact was the greatest if something that was clearly impossible, became possible. Zhou Weiqing appeared at the next second when the Destructive Storm was formed. To top it off, he appeared right in the midst of the Destructive Storm and stood before Tian Yu, which was the area where the Destructive Storm was the most powerful and concentrated.

The moment when Zhou Weiqing appeared, there was a layer of golden starlight, shining all over his body. An explosive crash happened when the golden starlight appeared within the Destructive Storm. However, it did not affect Zhou Weiqing's movement at all. A simple punch was pummelled right onto Tian Yu's chest; it was an extremely simple one.

Going by Tian Yu's initial speculation, Zhou Weiqing might have mastered Spatial Law but he would have to appear outside the Destructive Storm so that Tian Yu could come up with a way to fight him. It might not work, but it was worth a try. However, Zhou Weiqing's appearance was just too odd. He appeared right before Tian Yu while the Destructive Storm that he was proud of did nothing to affect Zhou Weiqing's movement at all. That was the scariest part of all.

As everything happened so quickly, the only thing that Tian Yu could do was to protect himself as quickly as he could. At that moment, he had yet to completely put on his legendary set and his weapons had yet to appear. Sensing danger upon himself, Tian Yu made the decision which he thought was the best choice right away. As a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse himself, he had also fought hundreds of battles. He immediately figured that Zhou Weiqing must have some borrowed ability due to his courage of appearing in the Destructive Storm. Therefore, he did not dodge Zhou Weiqing's punch but chopped both sides of Zhou Weiqing's neck with his hands.

Attack the enemy to save yourself. It was something that would result in harm to both sides. At that moment, at least Tian Yu had almost finished putting on his armor while Zhou Weiqing did not even have any consolidated equipment on him. Tian Yu thought that he had the upper hand. However, fear crawled into Tian Yu eyes at the very next second when he noticed that Zhou Weiqing did not dodge at all. Yes, Zhou Weiqing did not dodge his attack. A punch was getting closer to Tian Yu instead.

Slam —

Zhou Weiqing's punch hit Tian Yu's chest while the latter's hands karate-chopped both sides of Zhou Weiqing's neck almost immediately. Everyone who was watching from beneath was stunned; the two people fighting in the sky did not look like they were participating in the Grand Tournament of the Saint Lands. Instead, their fight seemed to resembled how children would fight. However, the results stunned them even more.

Bang —

Zhou Weiqing's punch that hit Tian Yu's chest did not throw him away. Instead, it stuck onto his body while the legendary set that Tian Yu had just put on was instantly smashed to pieces. An intense bang was heard; even the black wings on his back had disappeared. Both his palms that chopped both sides of Zhou Weiqing's neck had only created two weak patting noises… and that was the end of it.

A spurt was heard, and a sharp claw appeared out of Tian Yu's back as it spewed glowing blood. The sharp claw vanished right after it appeared as Tian Yu's body fell from the sky – just like that. The sharp claw was actually Zhou Weiqing's right hand, and nobody could identify when his palm had turned into a sharp claw. As he clenched them tightly, there was a faint glowing ball shining from within.

A Heavenly Core Nucleus – that was indeed Tian Yu's Heavenly Core Nucleus. Zhou Weiqing had ripped his chest open and dug out Tian Yu's Heavenly Core Nucleus. The injury that Tian Yu had sustained was fatal. However, even if he did not perish, the Heavenly Core Nucleus that was taken away by Zhou Weiqing had already rendered him useless.

Tian Yu's body crashed right before Fen Tian, as his face turned red while his body shuddered. People who knew him well would know that this was Fen Tian in a state of rage. Aside from the battle which saw one of them surrendering, this was definitely the quickest battle of all. It only took three seconds for Tian Yu to fly up to the sky for Zhou Weiqing to kill him – those three seconds had taken the Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse's life away. Even his Heavenly Core Nucleus was ripped out.

Zhou Weiqing who was in mid-air shook his neck and grinned. It seemed like nothing happened to him but a devilish expression was plastered on his face. What kind of defensive ability did he possess? Although Tian Yu did not have any weapons at that time, he was an actual Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse after all! To attack the enemy that attacks you – he was naturally using everything he had. The neck was much more vulnerable than the chest was in a human body as it was not protected by any bones whatsoever. However, Zhou Weiqing was completely fine; he was not injured at all from the full-force attack of a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse, and this was without the protection of a legendary set. It was unbelievable for him to possess such a powerful body.

In reality, those people who were shocked had no idea that Zhou Weiqing had Saint Energy that could destroy the Destruction Attribute which played the most important role aside from his overbearing self-defense abilities. When the Destruction Attribute meets Saint Energy, it was like snow meeting fire. The creation of Saint Energy alone was completely different from the destructive characteristics of the Destruction Attribute. Meanwhile, Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy was purer and more concentrated than Tian Yu's. As such, with the protection of Saint Energy and his Dragon-Tiger Demon God Transformation, his defensive abilities were terrifying. Anyone present would pale in comparison.

It was wrong to think that Zhou Weiqing did nothing at all. He had actually released the Dragon-Tiger Demon God Transformation when he used the Spatial Law. The effect was even more noticeable when the Dragon-Tiger Demon God Transformation was complete. Nobody could tell from the outside at all – only the devilish expression was obvious. He did not release his wings at all, so it seemed like he was defending the Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse's attack with his very own flesh.

Chapter 816

The entire Heavenly Snow Mountain fell into a momentary silence. There was no exception. Even Xue Ao'tian and Shangguan Tianyang were silent as well. At this moment, nobody could see through Zhou Weiqing at all. None of them could tell what his cultivation base was. From the very start, there were no Heavenly Jewels on both of his wrists at all. After all, once one had reached the Heavenly Emperor Tier and above, it was not hard to conceal one's Heavenly Jewels.1

After he had defeated Tian Yu, Zhou Weiqing did not immediately descend from the air. Instead, he began to casually and calmly put on his legendary armor set.

Dark golden lights shone on his body one after the other. Because the light that was flashing on his body was too fast, it was difficult to determine the exact pieces of armor he had already put on. However, the last color that appeared was a dark golden color.

It was very easy to identify a legendary armor set. As long as it was a complete set, one could easily distinguish how many pieces there were in total just from the aura itself. However, it would be difficult to distinguish if the legendary armor set was not complete and all it showed was only a dark golden color.

This was exactly what happened Zhou Weiqing's case. The moment he finished putting on his legendary armor suit, his legendary armor set immediately gave off a powerful and tyrannical aura. Yet, this was not a complete legendary armor set!

Even the anger that Fen Tian initially felt subsided a little when he saw Zhou Weiqing like this. This brat was just too strange. Everything that he did was completely unpredictable. How could he not possess even one complete set of legendary armor as the Sect Leader of the Peerless Sect? Yet, he still managed to defeat one of his Heavenly Emperors. What the hell was he doing actually?

Zhou Weiqing bellowed loudly from the air as he held the Dual God Strength Hammers in his hands, "Next! Come up now!"

At this moment, the powerhouses on the summit of Heavenly Snow Mountain immediately snapped back into their senses. Shangguan Tianyang said without any hesitation, "We admit defeat this round." The Heavenly King who was the next in line immediately got cut off. The next person that they sent out was also a Heavenly King.

Xue Ao'tian looked at Shangguang Tianyang from the corner of his eyes as he chimed in, "We also admit defeat. We'll change!" As he was speaking, he also changed his participant to another Heavenly King. The Lion King Gu Site whispered a few words to Xue Ao'tian but Xue Ao'tian merely shook his head in silence.

This time, it was the Love Valley's turn again. After a moment of hesitation, Huang Xingyun uttered, "We give up as well." The person that he sent out to queue in line earlier was a Heavenly King. What use was there for him to send this Heavenly King when even a Heavenly Emperor was so easily defeated?

Everything happened in just a blink of an eye. It was so fast that even the Blood Red Hell did not have the time to send another person to the line to substitute Tian Yu after his death.

At this moment, all eyes were on Fen Tian as they waited to see how he was going to deal with the situation before him. The Grand Tournament had already entered the fifth round. However, until now, the Peerless Sect had only sent out three people.

In everyone's eyes, it seemed like there were only three people in the Peerless Sect. However, Zhou Weiqing's strong performance had placed Fen Tian in an extremely difficult situation. Of course he could see Zhou Weiqing was using the Saint Energy, and for this reason, the Destruction Attribute seemed to have no effects on him at all. However, whether it was Fen Tian, Huang Xingyun or everyone else, they were placed in one big disadvantage — they could not see through Zhou Weiqing at all.

Well, nobody could blame them entirely. After all, Zhou Weiqing was still too young and had not been the object of their attention all this while. It was only after the Blood Red Hell had been placed in a difficult situation by him that Fen Tian started to become aware of him. However, the Grand Tournament was already about to start at that time. Even though Fen Tian was paying more attention to him now, he still had the opinion that the small and tiny Zhou Weiqing still could not be compared to the Heaven's Expanse Palace or the Heavenly Snow Mountain.

However, at this moment, Fen Tian suddenly realized that he might have committed a grave mistake. With the Six Ultimate Heavenly God Long Shiya, Demonic Emperor Wu Yunyue and along with this unreadable Zhou Weiqing, the threat that the Peerless Sect posed seemed to be no less than the Heaven's Expanse Palace or the Heavenly Snow Mountain.

Now that it had come to this point, it posed the biggest problem in dealing with the current situation. If only Shen Mo did not battle it out with Long Shiya earlier. He would have been the ideal person to be sent out right now. This was because as long as Shen Mo could defeat Zhou Weiqing, the Peerless Sect would be rendered powerless.

A gleam shone in Fen Tian's eyes as his eyes landed on Huang Xingyun who was standing not far ahead. This time, his eyes gleamed meaningfully without any disguise as if he was trying to convey a message to Huang Xingyun.

Huang Xingyun frowned and shook his head lightly.

Fen Tian narrowed his eyes and growled, "Shen Bu, go!" In the end, he chose to put up with it. However, he himself also did not know how long he would be able to hold back.

A voluptuous woman who looked as if she was in her thirties walked out from behind Fen Tian. This woman was extremely gorgeous. Every single movement of hers spelled out sexiness, and bewitching seduction radiated naturally with each glance of her eyes. She walked alluringly out of the crowd. Her waist was so slender that it looked like it could easily be broken with just a twist. She looked exactly like a snake woman.

"Yes, Hell Lord."

Shen Bu did not immediately rise upwards. Instead, she steadily walked upwards to the sky as if there were staircases built in the air. With every step, her body would curve into a perfect 'S' shape and she would give a fawning look. Anybody who had a lower cultivation base would easily have their hearts beating rapidly the moment they laid eyes on her sexiness.

Zhou Weiqing was impacted the most. After all, from the very beginning, Shen Bu's gaze had been focused entirely on him. Prior to this, Zhou Weiqing never knew that there could be so many changes in a female's gaze.

She was suddenly pitiful, excited, shy, then pouty. Every tiny and subtle flicker of her eyes seemed to tug on his heartstring every time. It was to the point that Zhou Weiqing was staring at her with his mouth wide open. It was a good thing that he did not visibly drool.

However, nobody would laugh at him this time. This was because there were already plenty of people literally drooling over her currently on the summit of the Heavenly Snow Mountain. Even a woman would blush with redness when they saw Shen Bu's figure and movement.

She was actually Shen Mo's cousin. Due to her cultivation base, her position was not as high as Shen Mo. However, she was the only person in Blood Red Hell that even Fen Tian did not dare to offend.

Since young, Shen Bu had been born with a natural charm. Even though she was not particularly skilled in other fields, as her cultivation base rose, her own feminine charm coupled with Heavenly Energy formed a special mutated attribute that the members of Blood Red Hell referred to as the Seduction Attribute. Previously, Shen Bu's Seduction attribute could only seduce those with cultivation base lower than hers. On top of that, it only worked on men. However, after she had merged the Destruction Attribute into her own Seduction Attribute, it had somehow leveled up and turned into a unique ability that was one of a kind in this world. Even though her cultivation base was only at the Intermediate Level of the Heavenly Emperor Tier, even Fen Tian was not able to stand it once she fully unleashed her Seduction Attribute. Moreover, it worked on both men and women as well.

This time, Shen Bu followed Fen Tian here to join the Grand Tournament as his trump card. At first, his initial plan was to use her against either Shangguan Tianyang or Xue Ao'tian. However, he had no other choice at this moment but to play this card in advance after seeing Zhou Weiqing's strong performance.

At this moment, Fen Tian appeared to be angry but in truth, he was still relatively calm inside. He had heard some of the stories about Zhou Weiqing's romantic affairs. It was absolutely in the nature of a hot-blooded young man to fall for a woman easily. For this reason, he decided to send Shen Bu out to deal with Zhou Weiqing after he had thought about it thoroughly.

The main reason Fen Tian sent out his trump card, Shen Bu, so easily was because Fen Tian had started to take Zhou Weiqing seriously. This meant that from this moment onwards, Fen Tian had truly seen him as a Saint Land Lord and was prepared to deal with him seriously.

Previously, Fen Tian and Zhou Weiqing had come face to face before but at that time, he chose not to unleash his full power. Although Fen Tian could feel Zhou Weiqing's Saint Attribute energy and Heavenly Emperor-tier cultivation base that time, he believed that Zhou Weiqing was still far behind Xue Ao'tian and Shangguan Tianyang. However, he instantly knew the young man before him was a threat to his plan when he saw how he took on the kick of a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse earlier without the help from his armor or weapons. Moreover, it was a huge threat on top of that. If he could use this opportunity to get rid of him in the Grand Tournament, the situation would be in his favor especially for his upcoming plans. Not only that, Fen Tian was actually eager to see how strong Zhou Weiqing had become. Of course, the best case scenario would be him being annihilated before he could unleash his true power.

Shen Bu looked at Zhou Weiqing with extreme tenderness in her eyes as she slowly walked up to the sky one step at a time. Both of them did not use their energy or even attempt to mobilize the Atmospheric Energy. Bright sunshine fell from the sky and shone on the two of them. Under that golden gleam of light, they looked like a pair of long-lost lovers who were slowly moving closer to each other.

Shen Bu's gaze did not turn intense as she got closer to Zhou Weiqing. Instead, it became somewhat softer and gentler. If the gaze that she initially gave him was seductive, then at this moment, it had gradually become soft and sad. As if begging for people to take pity on her, it was similar to the gaze of a wife who was waiting for her husband to come back home.

Zhou Weiqing's gaze was now trance-like. It was obvious that his gaze was fixed onto Shen Bu as he silently watched her approach him. He began to unconsciously lower the Dual God Strength Hammers in his hands.

The people from the Peerless Sect who were watching the battle became tense in an instant. Even Long Shiya and Wu Yueyun stopped their cultivation immediately as they stared at the sky.

The Blood Red Hell did not lower their guard as well. All of them had their eyes fixed on the Peerless Sect. They would definitely rush forward to fight in case the Peerless Sect suddenly decided to rescue Zhou Weiqing from the current situation.

The three Shangguan sisters, Xue'er, Fei'er and Bing'er, all had worry etched on their faces. On the other hand, Little Witch was completely filled with fury. Only Tian'er remained calm and composed.

"Aren't you worried?" Still fully cloaked, Ling Dang who was sent out to the battle previously, asked Tian'er from the side.

Tian'er grunted immediately, "What's there to be worried about? Even if that bastard really fell for her gentle act, that woman will never be able to break his defense. As for controlling his mind — yeah right. In her dreams!"

The moment the other girls heard Tian'er's words, a realization hit them with a bang, and the worries in their eyes instantly began to fade a little.

1. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Chapter 817

The look in Zhou Weiqing's eyes started to change at once. The changes were consistent with Shen Bu's look as well. His gaze suddenly turned gentle, then it was pitiful, worried and finally, he looked like he was in pain. The hammer in his right hand was passed to his left hand as well. It seemed like he could no longer wait. With just a leap, he descended from the sky and rushed towards Shen Bu with his right arm wide open.

Shen Bu remained calm. However, the look on her face immediately turned to excitement and one of longing. Shyness and joy could also be seen in her eyes. Being able to cultivate her Seduction Attribute to such a level meant that she had already reached a state where she had gone back to the basics, a natural state.

Finally, Zhou Weiqing reached her, and the two bodies began to merge together in the air. The right arm that Zhou Weiqing had emptied previously directly stretched out to hug Shen Bu. Shen Bu began to cuddle in his arms like a timid and loveable little woman.

However, in the midst of the shyness and joy in her eyes, her right hand that was hidden in her sleeve had long since turned black. Each finger was as black as pointed awls. Even though it might seem like she was gently stroking Zhou Weiqing's chest, it was obvious that her hand was very lethal.

She was waiting. Waiting for the moment when Zhou Weiqing would finally hug her. His emotions were being manipulated by her charm, and she was waiting for the moment when his heart was the gentlest towards her to make a move. Unfortunately, she did not have enough time to do that. What she loved most was to take a man's life at the peak of his happiness while he was on top of her body. That indescribable pleasure was Shen Bu's favorite feeling in the world.

Did Zhou Weiqing really hug her? Yes. Indeed, he did. Unfortunately, he was not hugging Shen Bu's body.

The now empty right hand went pass Shen Bu's sight, and just as it was about to land on her slender waist, Zhou Weiqing's big hand suddenly changed its trajectory and gently slid over Shen Bu's neck.

A gentle voice resonated by Shen Bu's ear, "If I were you, I wouldn't have taken out those ugly claws!"

At this moment, Shen Bu's right hand was only less than three inches away from Zhou Weiqing's chest. However, even though these three inches was a distance so short that it was basically nothing to a Heavenly Emperor like her, it seemed like she was not able to continue her attack at all.

Disbelief filled Shen Bu's eyes instantly. No matter what, she could not believe that Zhou Weiqing actually managed to free himself from her Seduction Technique. Looking back at all the signs and symptoms that he had exhibited before, he should have completely fallen into her Seduction control!

She had her reasons for having such faith in herself. After all, even Fen Tian would be unable to resist her Seduction Attribute if he did not prepare himself in advance.

The people around them could only feel 1% of the Seduction Attribute's effects but Zhou Weiqing had taken the full brunt of the effects.

Casting aside the fact that he was a hot-blooded young man, even if he was an old and decrepit senior, Shen Bu was certain that she would still be able to seduce him.

"This is impossible!" Shen Bu instantly screamed loudly, surprising the people watching below.

This round of match seemed to be the most peaceful one but everybody knew that the killing intent would erupt anytime soon. However, how did Zhou Weiqing manage to turn the situation around at the very last minute? The people from the Blood Red Hell, in particular, could not believe this turn of events at all.

The Yang Giant Spirit Palm on Shen Bu's smooth-as-silk neck tightened at once. Although he did not exert any force, it still caused Shen Bu's skin on her neck to shiver in cold. She understood very well that it was just a matter of course if Zhou Weiqing wanted to kill her.

"H-How did you break away from my Seduction Attribute?" Shen Bu asked. She was obviously upset. She was a psychologically twisted woman. Otherwise, she would not be able to cultivate her Seduction Attribute to such an extent. The Seduction Attribute was considered to be everything to her. It was even more precious and important to her than Heavenly Energy was to an ordinary Heavenly Jewel Master. That was quite a perverted kind of narcissism, a narcissistic view towards the Seduction Attribute. She could not accept the fact that her Seduction Attribute was so easily thwarted by Zhou Weiqing. This blow to her was even more painful than death.

Zhou Weiqing squeezed Shen Bu's neck as he shifted his gaze that had returned to normal towards Blood Red Hell's Hell Lord, Fen Tian below them. He sneered mockingly, "How hard can it be? No matter how powerful your Seduction Technique is, it still doesn't change the fact that you're already an old witch! I merely repeated this to myself in my heart. An old witch in her seventies or eighties flirting with me would only make me feel repulsed. How can I possibly be manipulated by you? Ahhh, it has never crossed my mind that the Blood Red Hell has fallen so low that you'd need to use this old witch to sell sex appeal! Tsk tsk tsk…"

"Barf —" A mouthful of blood spurted out of Shen Bu's mouth. Zhou Weiqing's every single word hammered fiercely at her heart. Especially the words ' seventies or eighties ' and ' old witch ' that almost choked and angered her to death.

A terrifying energy ripple exploded from Shen Bu without warning. She had chosen to detonate her Heavenly Core Nucleus when she was spewing out blood. It was her desire to wash off this disgrace with fresh blood. Right now, there was no look of seduction in her eyes. It had already been entirely replaced by a hysterical madness.

However, it was also at this moment that Shen Bu could feel Zhou Weiqing's right hand that was clutching on her neck shuddered without warning. In an instant, the look in his eyes became brighter, and a vindicated look could be seen in his eyes. His right hand immediately slid down and plunged directly into Shen Bu's body from the back. It blocked her Heavenly Core Nucleus from blowing up.

"YOU ——" Shen Bu stared at Zhou Weiqing blankly. Below them, chaos had already erupted.

The moment Shen Bu chose to detonate her Heavenly Core Nucleus, Shen Mo had rushed out and charged towards Zhou Weiqing who was levitating in the sky. However, he was blocked by the Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor Long Shiya before he could do anything. Fen Tian, on the other hand, sent Wu Yunyue flying with a thrust of his palm. He spurted out blood as he was thrown backward. Ling Dang quickly flew out from the Peerless Sect group and stretched out both of her hands as she temporarily blocked Fen Tian from continuing his attack.

Shen Bu did not seem to notice the havoc that was unfolding on the surface below. She stared at Zhou Weiqing fixedly as she asked, "Y-You… You're still under m-my control, r-right?"

A hint of embarrassment could be seen on Zhou Weiqing's face as he nodded his head.

Shen Bu laughed. She could still actually laugh at this time, "I… I knew it. I-I knew it! N-Nobody… c-can resist… m-my Seduc…tion Attribute… S-Same goes t…to you, too… Alt-though I've… n-no idea how… you… m-managed to do it… I… I didn't… lose…! Blerghh —" Fresh blood spurted out from her mouth again. The ultimate enchantress finally took in her last breath.

That was right. Zhou Weiqing was actually not immune to Shen Bu's Seduction attribute. The Blood Red Hell's Hell Lord Fen Tian who possessed the Destruction Attribute was not immune to it and it was the same for him, even when he possessed the Saint Attribute.

Although Shen Bu's heart was already completely twisted, she was still indeed a genius amongst her peers. The Seduction Attribute that she invented herself was extremely powerful. That kind of seductive charm that was in harmony with the worldly nature was definitely one of a kind. Even a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse was not immune to this charm of hers. Right now, she was already a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse. After she incorporated the Destruction Attribute into her Seduction Attribute while she perfected it, she had never failed, not even once.

Not only that, a young man would have a greater desire towards the opposite sex compared to old people just as Fen Tian had predicted. For this reason, Zhou Weiqing was already enraptured by her Seduction Attribute the moment he gazed into Shen Bu's eyes.

Of course, just like what Tian'er had said, even if Zhou Weiqing was bewitched by Shen Bu's Seduction Attribute, he would not lose this match. After all, Shen Bu's main ability was only the Seduction Attribute. There was absolutely no way for her attack to pierce through Zhou Weiqing's Ringless Ground Purging Set and his Dragon-Tiger Demon God Transformation's defenses.

Zhou Weiqing knew instantly that he would not be able to resist Shen Bu at all the moment he first looked into her eyes. That was right. What he did was he actually set a psychological cue for himself. It was not a cue so he could directly resist. Otherwise, he would show signs of struggling, and it would be difficult for him to attack Shen Bu. She was already a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse after all and had the duration been any longer, Zhou Weiqing might not be able to hold his Divine Thought any longer.

Zhou Weiqing had always been a very careful person, and naturally, he would be well prepared for this exact reason. He made his preparation right at the moment Shen Bu launched her attack. No matter how powerful the Seduction Technique was, when one reached Zhou Weiqing's cultivation base, the Saint Energy would automatically protect his body the instance he was attacked by a foreign assault. At the same time, his own body would form a strong resistance by itself. This was also the moment the psychological cue that he had set earlier on woke up in an instant and prompted him to kill Shen Bu without any hesitation. It did not leave her with a chance to continue her Seduction Technique so that he could win this battle.

If everything had gone according to Zhou Weiqing's plan, there was quite a huge chance for him to succeed. After all, his own judgment was pretty accurate and on point.

Fortunately, there were a few people who did not want Zhou Weiqing to be in a passive state. That was why just a moment after Zhou Weiqing had fallen into a bewitched state, a power rose from the Peerless Sect and freed him from Shen Bu's Seduction Technique.

At any rate, the Seduction Technique was not completely invincible. It was similar to how everything in the world could be trumped by another thing. Due to this reason, Zhou Weiqing was in a slightly disadvantageous position in this round. There was no doubt that Zhou Weiqing also knew this. It was only when Shen Bu saw Zhou Weiqing's expression at the final moment that she was hit with this realization. It was unfortunate that the enchantress' one of a kind Seduction Technique would now be lost to the world. There was nothing wrong with this attribute. It could have been righteous had it been used in the correct manner.

When Shen Mo saw how Shen Bu had fallen in Zhou Weiqing's hands, he was instantly enraged with madness. This Heavenly God-tier powerhouse erupted in the lower atmosphere. It was so powerful that the other few Great Saint Lands had to join forces to release their Heavenly Energy and cast a joint protective shield to protect themselves from harm.

Anger could be seen burning in Fen Tian's eyes. However, instead of choosing to continue his attack, he shouted towards Shen Mo, "Come back!"

Although Shen Mo was a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse, not to mention the fact that he was enraged at this moment, he chose to restrain his impulses, albeit reluctantly. Once again, he descended to the ground the moment he heard Fen Tian's voice. On the other side, the Six Ultimate Heavenly God Long Shiya had quite a grim look on his face as well. The series of turbulent-like attacks that was released by the opponent had also taken quite a tremendous toll on him.

Chapter 818

Zhou Weiqing threw Shen Bu down to Shen Mo and Fen Tian before hissing coldly, "Hell Lord, you should know the Grand Tournament rules. Your actions have already violated the rules. In other words, from now on, the Blood Red Hell is eliminated from the Grand Tournament of the Saint Lands."

"Hahaha! Haha!" Fen Tian threw his head back as he laughed. A ferocious look appeared on his face, and the power that he had been suppressing all along instantly burst out at once without any warning. Horrendous Destruction Energy scattered all over the place as if it had just been detonated. The sky quickly darkened on its own without needing Destruction Energy to dye it black. It immediately gave off a feeling as if one had entered a world that was full of destruction. Every attribute that was in the atmosphere was destroyed within seconds. In just an instant, the ghastly Destruction Energy became the only thing that filled the entire space.

What a powerful Divine Territory! Even Zhou Weiqing faced some difficulties in controlling and maintaining his flight in the air. He quickly landed in front of the Peerless Sect and was surrounded entirely by darkness. Only the dark purple flames that were ignited on the Blood Red Hell followers' bodies allowed them to vaguely identify everything that was happening around them.

"The Maximum Level of the Heavenly God Tier!" Xue Ao'tian could not help but inhale in a cold breath as he exclaimed in surprise.

Even before today's Grand Tournament took place, everyone had already held Fen Tian in high regards. However, the moment they saw Fen Tian unleashing his cultivation base that was at the Maximum Level of the Heavenly God Tier with their own eyes, all of them immediately understood that they had underestimated him and the Blood Red Hell.

The purple flames on Fen Tian's body were like a layer of dazzling outerwear. It made his entire person look even more menacing. The surroundings were completely shrouded in darkness. He was not the only one who turned powerful. All of Blood Red Hell's followers who possessed the Destruction Attribute became powerful as well. At this moment, it was as if they were all injected with some sort of growth hormones. Each of them was emitting an unparalleled and mighty sense of powerful aura.

Shen Mo's breathing had obviously become a lot heavier. It was him who caught hold of Shen Bu's dead body. When he saw that she was no longer breathing in his arms, he gritted his teeth as he growled, "I've told you before. We need to subdue them by force and directly lay all our cards out in front of them. What use is there to include this useless tournament in our plan? Shen Bu wouldn't have died had it not been the case!"

"Are you questioning my decision now?" Fen Tian glared at him coldly. Shen Mo's voice instantly stopped abruptly in its track. He did not dare to make any sound as he lowered his head.

As Shangguang Tianyang looked at all of the Blood Red Hell's people, he calmly asked, "Fen Tian, what do you mean by this?"

Fen Tian replied indifferently, "Can't you see what I'm trying to do? This is my Divine Territory. To be more precise, the Destructive Divine Territory. In my Divine Territory, unless somebody has a cultivation base that is far greater than mine and reaches the Heavenly Change Tier that only exists in the legend, nobody else but I will be the ultimate ruler here. All of your affairs will be under my control! Originally, my plan was to first weaken your strength to a certain level through the Grand Tournament because, at the very least, all of you are still from the Saint Lands and possess a certain level of strength. Unfortunately, since all of you have already found out about the truth, not to mention the fact that you even caused me to lose my beloved subordinate, I don't see a point in continuing this Grand Tournament any longer. I'll give all of you two options now!"

He paused for a moment as he reached here. A magical light shone within his eyes that were twinkling with a dark purplish gleam. At this moment, one had to admit that Fen Tian who possessed the Maximum Level of the Heavenly God-tier cultivation base was emitting a sense of coercion that was so powerful that everyone, including Xue Ao'tian, was feeling suffocated by it.

Once one reached the Heavenly King Tier, each and every small gap after that was like a chasm that needed to be crossed. A Heavenly God at the Maximum Level. It would be difficult to even rouse the desire of Xue Ao'tian, who was at the Middle Level of the Heavenly God Tier, to fight him. Moreover, this Destructive Divine Territory seemed to have enveloped the entire world.

"What should we do?" This was the question that everyone present was dying to ask.

At this moment, Fen Tian's voice continued to boom out loud, "First option. I'll let you off safely as long as all the Saint Lands seal themselves and not show themselves for a thousand years. I don't even need you to submit entirely to my Blood Red Hell. During the sealing process, you're not allowed to interfere with anything that's happening on the mainland. I want to unify the entire Boundless Mainland!"

"And if we don't agree to it?" Shangguan Tianyue could be heard asking coldly.

Fen Tian smiled indifferently, "If you don't agree to it? Well, if you disagree, then all of you will die today! Maybe killing all of you will incur huge losses to us. However, the entire Boundless Mainland will still remain under my control as long as I can annihilate all of you here!"

Slightly perplexed, Zhou Weiqing asked, "Fen Tian, since you already have the power of a Heavenly God at the Maximum Level, why did you wait until now to make your move? Are you really not going to do us any harm once we sealed off our Saint Lands? Do you really think that we're all three-year-old kids?"

Fen Tian scoffed, "Of course I have my own reasons for doing what I'm doing now. Even though we're all enemies, I'll still keep my words. As for what will happen after a thousand years, well, that will depend on your strength at that time. However, there's one thing that I'd like to add! All the other Saint Lands can choose to seal themselves off but you, the Peerless Sect, cannot! Today, all of those from the Peerless Sect will have to leave your lives behind! No man will be spared!"

Zhou Weiqing laughed, "I knew you'll never let me go! Saint Energy and Destruction Energy are polar opposites. Since I'm still so young, you're afraid that given enough time, I'll grow even more powerful and will no longer be under your control. I'm right, aren't I?"

Fen Tian did not deny it. Instead, he stared at Zhou Weiqing as he proclaimed calmly, "You're a smart person. Although I do wonder how you managed to achieve such accomplishment at such a young age, honestly, I've no choice but to kill you while you're still in a cradle. This is because even if you surrender and submit to me, I'm still not confident enough to think that I can control you completely."

Even though the two of them were at the opposite ends of an antagonistic position, just the fact that Fen Tian said this showed how much actually he acknowledged Zhou Weiqing's strength.

Zhou Weiqing shrugged his shoulders as he let out a sigh, "What a pity! You and I have really different mindsets. What cradle were you talking about, huh? What makes you so sure that I'm still in a cradle anyway? You only have two Heavenly Gods by your side. We also have two Heavenly Gods right here. Moreover, the number of people we have are no lesser than yours. Do you really think that you'll be able to make all of us here yield to you with just that stupid Destruction sorry-ass Divine Territory alone?"

Fen Tian replied nonchalantly, "Don't be so insolent, young man! It's indeed true that your cultivation base is not bad and your Saint Energy is able to restrain my Destructive Divine Territory. Otherwise, Long Shiya would have been dead long ago. Unfortunately, your cultivation base is still far from being enough. How are you supposed to destroy my Destructive Divine Territory without having the same level of cultivation base as me?"

Zhou Weiqing chuckled, "Facts speak louder than words. Make sure you take a good look, alright?"

As he was speaking, the smile on his face disappeared. Two dots of lights instantly radiated from his face — from his eyes to be exact.

At this moment, Zhou Weiqing's eyes had become as dazzling as the stars. Dense Saint Energy instantly burst out from within him without warning.

This energy ripple radiated from the Saint Energy was extremely pure. Gold colored little starlight showed up on his body immediately. At the same time, a bright light could be seen lighting up in the middle of Zhou Weiqing's chest as well. The little starlights rose up in a spiral and forcibly dispelled the darkness in the surroundings as it expanded outwards at an extremely fast rate.

At this moment, all of those who were present on the scene seemed to be in some sort of illusion. It seemed like they heard shrill screams coming from the Destructive Divine Territory and everywhere that the Saint Energy had passed through. The Destructive intent contained in the Destructive Divine Territory immediately dissipated just like snow that came across hot boiling water.

"Come out!" Zhou Weiqing shouted out loud without warning.

An intense golden Nebula Saint Energy soared up to the sky at once. It was closely followed by a clear golden ray that shone down from the sky. In an instant, it was as if the dark sky was cracked open. A starry sky appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The starlight was so intense and dense as it hovered in the air. In a flash, gigantic nebula light cluster filled up the desolate abyss that was created by the Destructive Divine Territory. Once again, the energy of various attributes appeared in the air. Even though it was only confined to this one area on the summit of the Heavenly Snow Mountain, it was more than enough for these powerhouses from the various Saint Lands.

"Divine Territory!" Some changes could finally be seen in Fen Tian's expression.

Apart from some innermost secrets that could not be said out loud, the reason why he did not unleash his full power when he first arrived was partly due to the strength of the other Saint Lands.

Whether it was the Heavenly Snow Mountain or the Heaven's Expanse Palace, they both had a greater lineage compared to the Blood Red Hell. The rise of the Blood Red Hell in these few years were completely due to their reliance on the Destruction Attribute. However, Fen Tian did not know what other trump cards the other two Great Saint Lands held. For this reason, he was more than willing to continuously weaken the strength of the two Great Saint Lands through the Grand Tournament. The best scenario would be him killing off Shangguan Tianyang and Xue Ao'tian one after the other in the final battle. It would still be much easier for the next step of his plan if he had successfully killed off even one of them.

Unfortunately, due to the sudden appearance of the Peerless Sect, his plan had fallen short miserably. At this moment, it was the correct decision for him to use the Destructive Divine Territory to restrain all of the people present on the scene. Once the Destructive Divine Territory was activated, the Blood Red Hell followers would have their strength greatly enhanced and concurrently greatly reduced the cultivation base of the people from other Saint Lands. However, the Astral Divine Territory that Zhou Weiqing had just launched had completely destroyed his plan.

As the caster of the Destructive Divine Territory, Fen Tian was the clearest about Zhou Weiqing's Astral Divine Territory. Indeed, Zhou Weiqing's Astral Divine Territory was not as powerful as his Destructive Divine Territory. One could even say that it was much more inferior compared to his Destructive Divine Territory. However, he clearly noticed one thing. The purity of the Saint Energy contained in Zhou Weiqing's Nebula Saint Energy was far greater than the Destruction Attribute in his Destructive Divine Territory.

In other words, Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy was far purer than his Destruction Energy. It was exactly for this reason that even though his Destructive Divine Territory was far more formidable than Zhou Weiqing's Astral Divine Territory, it was still unable to destroy Zhou Weiqing's Astral Divine Territory in a short period of time. Well, unless he killed Zhou Weiqing off.

However, the two of them were not the only one on the Heavenly Snow Mountain right now. With the help from Zhou Weiqing's Astral Divine Territory, the Heavenly Snow Mountain and Heaven's Expanse Palace followers would undoubtedly have a great increase in their combat effectiveness while the Blood Red Hell would be suppressed by it. How should they fight in this case? Even if he could obtain the Saint Energy in the end, he would have to pay a hefty price for that.
