The whole Yi Family was so frightened, they completely lost their mind. They stood there dumbfounded, planted to the ground and forgetting to plead for their lives.

They were doomed and it was immutable!

Zing!

Ten thousand Blood-red robed evil spirits zipped down like eagles, claws extended towards their prey.

Then they made a sharp ascend, drawing an arc in the air, and returned to the skies.

Rainbows of blood-colored arcs flashed across the skies, each Blood-red robed evil spirit making only one dive before returning to the air.

Ten thousand Blood-red robed evil spirits meant ten thousand dives.

At each dive, the Blood-red robed evil spirits' claws would rip the bodies of those trapped in the formation, each claw tearing them into five segments, which meant ten segments with both claws!

By the time all ten thousand claws was done, the bodies were completely unrecognizable!

This included the master of the Yi Family, the strongest elite in all of Violent Reborn Planet, Yi Mozhi and the God Ascension cultivation Guardians Grand Elder Yi Jian and also Second Elder Yi Hui!

All five of these people were the core members of the Yi Family! The most important pillars! The cornerstone of their own dynasty!

In a flash, all five of these people were ripped apart and turned into pieces of minced flesh only to be rendered completely defunct!

However, there was no trace of blood on the ground nor were there spirits in the air – the Blood-red robed evil spirits had consumed their Blood Essences and Spirits!

Emptied of both, the five of them would be completely broken away from the reincarnation system, damning them to be excluded from the chance of becoming a whole new person!

At the same time, the death of the five would also mean the official collapse of the Yi Family!

Chen Xiaobei would not have to roll up his sleeves and nip Yi Family in the bud himself. Like vultures, the powerful people from different families on the towers would tear up the rest of the Yi Family, not leaving a single bone behind and getting the job done by default!

"We finished! Our Yi Family is finished…" The Yi Family Elders led by Yi Dang collapsed, dropping to the ground only their knees, faces ashen and dark.

"That's so scary…. Is this the strength of an Earth God… My god…"

The crowd that had been watching were bowled over. Cries of astonishment passed through the crowd, as each of them gawked at Chen Xiaobei with awe and admiration.

The other powerful elites on the tower were just as staggered and filled with amazement.

"Wh… What should we do now?" The master of the Han family asked.

The master of Yun Family took in a long, deep breath, before answering. "We cannot afford to piss that Earth God off! We better not show our faces yet."

"Yeah," Master of the Sima Family nodded. "Let's wait for him to leave before we make a move, in case we rub him the wrong way."

All the Earth Gods on the roof stood still, not daring to move.

Chen Xiaobei however, turned his gaze towards them, and said in a cool voice, "You! Get over here!"

The Earth Gods could feel their blood run cold in their veins, and they all remained unmoving.

"What? Do I have to go up there myself?" Chen Xiaobei hissed.

"No, no, no. We'll come down now."

The Earth Gods quickly hurried down the tower but they stopped at the edge of the blood-red light.

Chen Xiaobei waved his hand, quickly retrieving the Blood God's Deity-Killing painting and the coffin by placing them back into his Infinite Space Ring.

With the blood red light gone, the place was peaceful again, and the people's hearts were able to gradually relax.

"You guys, do you know what your crimes are?" Chen Xiaobei barked.

"We…We…" The Earth Gods stammered. "Why do you say that, elder? We… We…did not do anything to offend you…"

"Hmph! Don't think I don't know!" Chen Xiaobei's tone was stern. "You were observing from the tower, waiting for the both the Yi Family and I to lose so that you can reap the rewards afterwards!"

"We…" The Earth Gods stiffened. "Sir, you are wise and farsighted. We will not argue with you about that. Please take into consideration the fact that we did not attempt to harm you in any way. Please forgive us."

All the Earth Gods of bowed obsequiously to Chen Xiaobei.

"Fine! I am not an unreasonable person!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "Seeing that all of you have such good attitudes, I will forgive you this once!"

"Thank you, Sir for your magnanimity!"

The demigods breathed a sigh of relief, humbly bowing and thanking Chen Xiaobei, extremely grateful to have their lives spared.

"Enough of all this nonsense! If you want to thank me, do three things for me!" Chen Xiaobei barked.

"That will be our honor! We will even do 300 things for you!" The Earth Gods nodded like chickens pecking at the ground for grains. "Just tell us whatever you need us to do! We'll spare nothing to complete these tasks for you! You will be pleased!"

"Mmm." Chen Xiaobei nodded. "Frist of all, Bai Linsu and I are old friends. So, your first task will be to collect all the wanted posters that the Yi Family has circulated. I want ALL of them – not a single piece less!"

"No problem! No problem!" The demigods nodded in desperation.

"The second thing: from now on, do you know what you should do the next time Bai Linsu visits Violet Reborn Planet?"

"Yes! Of course, we do! We'll respect Miss Bai like we respect you! We will not chastise her!"

"Mm, you are a sensible lot!" Chen Xiaobei nodded approvingly. "Thirdly, go and get the portal opened for me. I want to return to Green Hill Starfield at once!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Please step into the portal, sir! We'll go open it now!"

The Earth Gods hurried off to open the portal.

There was a Chinese proverb that said, 'it's easier to invite the devil in than to send him away'.

It was opportune for them that Chen Xiaobei had decided to leave on his own. The Earth Gods welcomed the prospect, and was more than happy to send him off.

Once Chen Xiaobei was gone, they wasted no time in carving up the Yi Family's possessions.

Chen Xiaobei was well aware of that but he had no plans to join their salvaging party.

This was for two reasons. First of all, Bai Linsu and himself would be visiting Violet Reborn Planet often. He wanted to let these local bullies have a taste of sweetness so that the next time they met, they would meet as friends – this would be very convenient for future transactions.

Secondly, Chen Xiaobei was in a hurry to return to Green Hill Starfield to learn everything about the unborn prince. The matters on this planet paled significantly in comparison to Little Fox!

Whoosh!

A large wave of energy undulated and Chen Xiaobei disappeared.

Whoosh!

Seconds later, he reappeared at another portal.

His surroundings had changed drastically.

"Is… Is this the main planet of Green Hill Starfield?"

Chen Xiaobei took in his surroundings. It was as if he had arrived at a whole new world! Everything he laid his eyes on was fascinating!

It was very vast and at the same time, a very beautiful ancient city!

There were pavilions and gazebos, bridges with running water, red-brick mansions, and bamboo trees plus cyprusses.

Chen Xiaobei felt as if he had gone back to the ancient times. Everything around him bore an ancient Chinese flair of a beautiful garden city.

Of course, the scene of the entire place was not because of time travel.

Chen Xiaobei knew that entire universe was the product of the collapse of primordial void land.

That was why the higher ranking of a starfield, the closer its environment and customs were to ancient China.

Chen Xiaobei stepped down from the portal, his eyes eagerly surveying.

He was fascinated to see that most of the people walking on the streets had a fluffy foxtail growing from behind them.

Such was the main feature Green Hill's citizens.

Bai Linsu had told him that the people of Green Hill Starfield were very different from the Demonic Foxes of the ancient times.

In the past, all Demonic Foxes were of the real Demonic Fox race. Through cultivation, they were able to transmute into a human form.

Green Hill Starfield's residents, on the other hand, were a special breed of half-beast who, at the end of the day, still belonged to the human race.

Of course, these were all not important!

Right now, what Chen Xiaobei was most concerned about was finding out the identity of the baby in the Empress' womb.

He remembered what the Prime of Tongtian told him – that as soon as Chen Xiaobei had found Little Fox, Lady Nuwo would reacquaint them.

That was why the longing in Chen Xiaobei's heart had reached its end. He desperately wanted to run into Green Hill's palace and find out for himself.

Unfortunately, it was unrealistic for him to do that.

The power of the Green Hill's royalty aside, getting Bai Linsu's approval on this was by itself an impossible task.

Bai Linsu had revealed the royal family's secret to him. If he barged in like that, he would only be compromising her.

So, no matter how painfully eager Chen Xiaobei was, he needed to be patient.

Chen Xiaobei found an empty street corner. and removed his mask. He then released Bai Linsu and Long Hushuang from the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd.

Linghu Shuang complained as soon as she got out. "Big Bro Chen! What took you so long to get to the portal? Sifu and I were nearly bored to death inside the gourd!"

"I did something earth shattering and that's delayed us a little!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged, smiling coolly.

"Will you die if you don't brag?" Linghu Shuang snarled.

"Shuang'er! Don't be unreasonable with Mr. Chen!" Bai Linsu scolded.

"I was not being unreasonable! He is bragging! Ouch!" Linghu Shuang protested when Bai Linsu knocked her on the head.

"This is Green Hill's main planet! Pay attention to what you say and do!" Bai Linsu warned.

"Yes, Sifu!" Linghu Shuang nodded in guilt.

"Sister Bai, the both of you better hurry up and meet the Empress! I'll be waiting to hear from you!" Chen Xiaobei said keenly.

Bai Linsu nodded. "Mm, I have to get to the palace now, but I cannot guarantee that I will be able to tell you everything I hear!"

"I…" Chen Xiaobei was slightly taken aback. "I don't need to know all the secrets. I just want to know if it's a boy or a girl, and how far along is the Empress. That should not be a problem, right?"

"Mm, this information is insignificant." Bai Linsu said. "But I would have to ask the Empress first before I can confirm whether or not I can tell you this!"

"Fine, fine, fine. Get to the palace first. We'll talk when you're done. Let's not waste anymore time!" Chen Xiaobei said.

"Alright!" Bai Linsu nodded before adding, "You better not run around when I'm gone! Do not engage in conflict with anyone with black tails! Remember!"

"I understand! I understand!" Chen Xiaobei nodded. "I'll go find a place to eat. I'll wait for you and I will not step out of bound. trust me, I will not attract any trouble alright!"

"Good. We'll talk on the phone later!" Bai Linsu said as she brought Linghu Shuang with her towards the majestic palace in the center of the city.

Chen Xiaobei's mind was so preoccupied with hearing the news from Bai Linsu that he decided not to walk around and explore the place.

He put the mask back on and found a decent-looking restaurant on the street.

As soon as he entered, a steward greeted him warmly, "Is there only one guest? Are you here for a meal or tea?"

After all, Chen Xiaobei was wearing the disguise of an elderly man in an August black robe – the steward would not dare neglect such a senior guest.

"A pot of tea and some snacks!" Chen Xiaobei said. "Find me a quiet place to sit, preferably by the window!"

"Yes! Please come in!" The steward invited Chen Xiaobei in, smiling sunnily at him.

The shop's main pedestal was pretty busy so the steward led Chen Xiaobei up to a seat by the window on the second floor, where it was quieter.

Chen Xiaobei's order arrived quickly.

He then took a sip of tea, and a bite of the dessert, and looked out the window contentedly.

When he thought about receiving news about Little Fox, his mood became exceptionally good.

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

Suddenly, loud, powerful footsteps walked up the stairs. There were at least ten of them.

The steward who attended to Chen Xiaobei was leading the way, an anxious smile plastered across his face.

Chen Xiaobei glanced at the group of men and saw that it was group of men dressed in black and had a black combat saber strung on their waist. All of them were at least two meters tall, broad-shouldered and brawny.

The only one who was different was their leader!

He was only about 1.7 meters tall. Scrawny and pale, he appeared rather sickly.

Chen Xiaobei had merely taken a peek at them; he dared not observe them for too long.

Before she left, Bai Linsu had warned him not to get involved with any Green Hill's foxes with black tails!

The men's tails were mostly red, grey and brown.

Their leader though, had a jet-black tail, and not a hair out place.

Right now, all Chen Xiaobei wanted was to get news about Little Fox as soon as possible.

He had no interest at all in these unwelcome guests.

Don't look, don't ask, don't care.

If he just sat there quietly and enjoyed the view, problems would not come knocking at his door.

Sure enough, the men did not pay any attention to Chen Xiaobei. They settled down around a large table on the other side, and busied themselves their food and liquor.

Concurrently, Bai Linsu was received by the person in charge and had successfully entered the palace.

Because of her special status, she was allowed to go through a secret route which was heavily guarded by a pair of elite guards stationed at every hundred meters. The guards were dressed in black armor with their hands placed cautiously on their saber which were strapped against their waist. Most notably, all of the guards shared a common trait – they all had pure black foxtails!

At Green Hill Palace' secret meeting room.

Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang were waiting at the doors. A man with gold-plated armor with carvings of flames on it proceeded to report on their arrival to the higher authority. As for the other black-armored guard, he stood at the doors to keep watch on Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang.

One could imagine that Bai Linsu must have just put on her most serious look. She did not dare to look away from the doors. As for Linghu Shuang, she felt extremely nervous to enter the Palace. She did not even dare to take in deep breaths.

Creak…

The heavy stone doors were being pushed open. The guards who went in earlier were now out.

"The Empress will see you now, Bai Linsu!"

"How about me?" asked Linghu Shuang.

The guard then looked at her with a darkened face and did not even bother to answer her question.

"Shuang'er! Wait for me here! Remember! Do not simply spurt things that you shouldn't say!"

"Yes master!"

Actually, Bai Linsu had given Linghu Shuang the same advice multiple times while they were on their way to the palace. Knowing how serious the consequences of running her mouth was, Linghu Shuang shut her mouth immediately. Upon seeing that, Bai Linsu finally let out a sigh of relief and entered the secret meeting room.

Black was the theme of the secret meeting room. Its interior design made the entire place look like a solemn funeral home. A woman at her thirties was sitting at throne which was aptly placed in the middle on the chamber. She was wearing a crown and covered in a long royal robe. Clearly, this woman was none other than the empress of Green Hill, Bai Zxuan!

"Linsu! Come here! Let me take a look at you!"

The moment the Empress saw Bai Linsu, her serious look was swept away and it was replaced by a gentle demeanour. Now, she looked more like a sister to Bai Linsu rather than an Empress.

"Sister…"

Bai Linsu walked towards her with a smile on her face. It was not hard to notice that the two of them were indeed sisters since they looked extremely alike.

"I know it's been a tough journey for you! I'm sorry that you have to go out there all by yourself…" said Bai Zixuan while holding Bai Linsu's hands.

As the younger sister of the Empress, Bai Linsu was actually part of the royal family. She could have chosen to stay at the palace to enjoy all the luxuries it had to offer if she wanted to. Because of a secret, Bai Linsu had to hide her true identity from others and risked her life to complete the task. One could only imagine the pain that she had to go through. That was why Bai Zixuan showed her so much love she was back at the palace.

"Today is a happy day! Let's not talk about it!"

Bai Linsu put on a smile and took out a really beautiful jade from the pocket, and handed it to Bai Zixuan.

"Sister, congratulations for getting a prince! I'm giving this jade to my future nephew!"

"The doctor is not even here yet! How do you know it's a prince? What if the baby is a princess?" asked Bai Zixuan with a smile.

"If he is a prince, he will inherit the throne! And if the baby is a princess, I'm pretty sure that she will becomes as pretty as you!"

BAM!

Suddenly, the huge doors were being pushed open by someone. Without the escort of guards nor summoning by the Empress, an old thin man with a black robe walked into the secret meeting room. Instead of getting angry, Bai Zixuan and Bai Linsu were showing a slight hint of fear.

"Prince Regent… Why… Why are you here?" asked Bai Zixuan in a trembling voice.

BAM!

The old man slammed the doors shut behind him.

"Greetings, my Empress!"

Clearly, the old man was angry but pretended that he wanted to kneel down in front of the Empress.

"It's not necessary for you to kneel down in front of me. I have mentioned that the Prince Regent works really hard in trying to maintain the country. There's no need for all these formalities in front of me!" said Bai Zixuan.

"Okay! Why didn't you inform me that you wanted to meet Bai Linsu? I wouldn't have known about it if the guard didn't tell me anything about it!"

"Regarding this…"

"I'm just meeting my little sister. We are going to have a sister to sister talk. I didn't think it's necessary to inform you about it!"

"Of course you had to tell me about it! The King is now missing in action! The fate of the entire Green Hill's Royal Family now falls on your shoulder! How am I supposed to answer to the ancestors of Green Hill if something bad happens to you?!"

"There are at least 300 Black Armor Guards protecting this place! You would eventually know if someone comes to visit me! That's why I didn't think it's necessary to inform you!"

"My Empress!!! The King has been missing for some time now! I constantly fear your safety! A lot of work has been done in maintaining the stability of Green Hill Starfield!"

"Yes.. Yes… Yes… I know that you have put in a lot of effort into this matter!"

"My Empress!!! You are now the ruler of this starfield! I don't wish that anything bad happens to you! You must remember that if something bad happens to you, it might threaten the stability of Green Hill Planet! If that happens, we will both be blamed for that!"

"Yes… I understand now… From today onwards, I will tell you every little that happens in my life!"

"That's great! My Empress, always the wise one!"

"I still have something private that I want to discuss with my sister… can you please excuse us?"

"No! You didn't tell the King that you have a little sister when you married him! Bai Linsu's real identity has not been announced to the public yet! To put it at a mildly, she is an adventurer that likes venturing into the wild! To put it harshly, she's not even part of the Royal Family! Supposedly, she has no right to even step into the Palace! My Empress, you and I are family! Why can't I listen in to your conversation with an outsider?!"

Acting in a dominant manner, the old man showed no respect to Bai Zixuan. An outsider might have actually thought that the old man was in fact the real King.

"You and I are family! There's nothing you can't hear…"

"Okay… please continue your conversation… I will not interrupt it!"

The old man then sat the chair next to them with a suspicious and angry look on his face.

With a pale look on her, Bai Zixuan found it hard to continue the conversation.

"I'm here to congratulate you and hand you the gift. Please take good care of yourself and the baby! I will leave now!" said Bai Linsu.

"Alright! Please take good care of yourself as well…" said Bai Zixuan with her eyes reddened.

Bai Linsu lowered her head, left the secret meeting room, and left the palace with Linghu Shuang.

"Sifu… Why are you crying?"

The moment Linghu Shuang talked, Bai Linsu covered her mouth.

These were the kind of things that she had to keep to herself.

After Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang left the palace, they called Chen Xiaobei before soon arriving at the restaurant.

"Come, come! Sit down and rest for a bit! Let me pour you some tea!"

Chen Xiaobei could barely wait any longer, asking as he poured each of them a cup of tea. "Is it a boy or a girl? How many months has it been?"

"Big Bro Chen! Stop asking questions! Can't you see that sifu is very sad?" Linghu Shuang said.

"What happened?" Chen Xiaobei looked at Bai Linsu. He had noticed her red-rimmed eyes – it was apparent that she had just cried her eyes out.

"It's nothing." Bai Linsu shook her head miserably, looking very pale and downcast. "I'll rest for a while and then I'll be leaving!"

At most times, weariness of the heart was far more agonizing than the weariness of the physical body.

"Alright, you rest." Chen Xiaobei's brows furrowed. He had been waiting the whole day but he did not get any answers. He felt as if there was any army of ants crawling in his heart – an itch that could not be scratched.

"Shuang'er!" Chen Xiaobei signalled with his finger for Linghu Shuang to come to him. "Did you both enter the palace? Did you see the Empress?"

"We did go in but only sifu met the Empress. I was not allowed to go in!" Linghu Shuang said in a hushed voice.

"Only your sifu saw her?" Chen Xiaobei was suddenly nervous. "Has something happened to the child? Why is your sifu so upset?"

"I'm not sure. I asked her a couple of times just now, but she refused to talk about it." Linghu Shuang frowned, her eyes filled with worry.

"Hmm…" Chen Xiaobei was growing anxious. The information did not matter anymore, what was more important was for the child to be fine!

Chen Xiaobei looked at Bai Linsu. "Sister Bai", but she did not respond. She was looking out the window, a forlorn look in her eyes. She probably would not answer him even if he asked again.

Chen Xiaobei was on full panic mode.

Although it was uncertain if the Empress' baby was Little Fox, it was definitely a possibility at the moment.

What if something bad did happen to the child?!

"No, I have to do something about it!"

Chen Xiaobei took out his phone, opened the Three Realms Red Envelope group, and scrolled until he found Lady Nuwo's name.

Chen Xiaobei: I, Chen Xiaobei am here to greet Lady Nuwo! Please give me the exact information on where to find the reincarnated Daji!

The Calamity was just around the corner, and Ancestral Lord Hong Diao had invited six Saints from the heavenly realm for a lecture. Both the Prime of Tongtian and Lady Nuwo were involved.

If he was not really anxious, Chen Xiaobei would not have interrupted her by messaging her directly.

Luckily, Lady Nuwo had some free time to reply him.

Lady Nuwo: Daji is my disciple. You have been so dedicated to her, worrying about her safety – this proves that you are a good man! I will help reacquaint the both of you. To no avail, the number of days are unclear, and its fate uncertain. If I get involved, I'm afraid that I might distort your destiny and ruin everything!

Chen Xiaobei: I don't need you to get involved. I just want to know if there's any clue as to where she is, and if she's alright.

Lady Nuwo: She's fine at the moment!

Chen Xiaobei: At the moment? Are you saying that she would be in danger the next time?

Lady Nuwo: It's still unclear and I can't predict the exact situation! As for the danger, Calamity is coming soon and all living beings are in danger. Who would be so lucky to escape?

Chen Xiaobei: Please tell me. Lady Nuwo, where is she? I have to find her and protect her!

Lady Nuwo: It's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that the time has not yet come. If I tell you now, it will only cause you to change your fate!

Chen Xiaobei: Little Fox died for me! I don't see why I cannot change my fate for her!

Lady Nuwo: It's not as simple as you think! The prime of Tongtian chose you because you are an anomaly when it comes to the subject of fate! If I alter your fate, then I would be ruining the Tongtian shixiong's calculation! The consequences of that are very serious!

Chen Xiaobei: Sifu's calculation?

Lady Nuwo: During the last calamity, Tongtian shixiong's Jieism suffered terrible losses!

Lady Nuwo: Until today, there's only you and the Tongtian shixiong! The Prime of Tongtian who fought four Saints on his own had his Godslayer Swords taken away. Even all his Divine Instruments had been robbed off him. Thus, he is only left with a broken Qing Ping Sword! You can say that all of Tongtian shixiong and Jieism's hopes now lie on you alone! You have to be the one to make the decision!

Chen Xiaobei: I… I can't!

Chen Xiaobei did not know what to do. He was at a loss.

On one hand was Little Fox's safety. On the other was his Sifu and the expectations from Jieism.

Both were equally important to him. Choosing one would mean sacrificing the other. Chen Xiaobei could not do either.

Lady Nuwo: You don't need to be at such a loss. Like I said just now, I will eventually tell you, but it's just not the time yet!

Chen Xiaobei: It's not time yet? When then? When will you tell me Little Fox's exact position?

Lady Nuwo: I will tell you everything when you reach God Ascension cultivation! When that time comes, you will then have complete control over your fate.

Chen Xiaobei: God Ascension cultivation! Alright! It's decided then. But can you guarantee that Little Fox will be safe before I reach God Ascension cultivation?

Lady Nuwo: Three months! She should be fine for three months!

Chen Xiaobei: What? I'm now in the human realm where most people can't even reach God Ascension cultivation after hundreds of years. You've only given me three months! It's just too short!

Lady Nuwo: I'm not giving you three months. It's just that as of now, I can only roughly estimate the situation within three months, and I can only say that she will probably be fine. Either way, there is no guarantee!

Chen Xiaobei: If that's the case, I still can't rest my mind!

Lady Nuwo: That is your only choice! Rather than going around and around in circles, you might as well use these three months to improve yourself! If you want Daji to be safe, you must first be powerful enough!

Chen Xiaobei: Yes! You're right! I am still very weak now! If anything were to happen, I might not be able to protect her!

Lady Nuwo: It's good that you understand!

Chen Xiaobei: From today onwards, I will do my best to strengthen myself and achieve God Ascension cultivation as soon as possible! Three months! No matter what, I must do my best!

Lady Nuwo: Mm, ask me again on the day you break through!

Chen Xiaobei: Thank you so much, Lady Nuwo! Goodbye Lady Nuwo!

Chen Xiaobei put away his phone and leaned back against the chair.

He heaved a long sigh, feeling as if half of the burden he had been carrying had been lifted off his shoulders.

Little Fox should be fine for three months!

As for what would happen after the three months, Chen Xiaobei did not know. That was why he was still not completely relieved of that burden in his heart!

Bam!

Suddenly, the group of men in black armour flipped their table and came over to Chen Xiaobei's table, belligerent.

Chen Xiaobei was stunned for a moment but he managed to ask, "How may I help you?"

A dozen Black Armor Guards surrounded them without saying a single word.

"What is going on?" asked Linghu Shuang in a worried manner.

"I have no idea as well.. I have never offended them before…" replied Chen Xiaobei, baffled.

"Master Baihu! What are you trying to do?"

Bai Linsu could finally recognize the person that stood behind her.

"Master Baihu? Embroidered Uniform Guard?" asked Chen Xiaobei.

They were supposed to receive orders directly from the king and they served only the king. Hence, they were considered to be the most secretive group of people. Considering that they were the king's most trusted allies, they were given the mandate to capture anyone, take charge of a prison, watch over hundreds of officers, and even collect covert military intel. Throughout history, the Embroidered Uniform Guards were supposed to know the secrets of all officers in the nation because of their ability to collect intel effectively.

They could put the highest-ranking officer into a prison or even commit a death sentence to an entire family. That was why everyone was afraid of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. From the bottom to the top, their ranking system was Xiaoqi, Zongqi, Baihu, Qianhu, ZhenFu Shi and Zhihui Shi! This man that Bai Linsu addressed as Master Baihu was be considered to be a mid-tier Embroidered Uniform Guard.

However, he started acting in a very arrogant manner when he met Bai Linsu. It seemed like he had no regard of Bai Linsu's status. Clearly, they were not afraid of anyone except for the king of Green Hill Starfield.

After waiting for some time, the man did not answer Bai Linsu's question. So, she had to lower down her voice before asking him again.

"Master Baihu, how can I help you?"

"Motherf*cker! Do you guys even know the rules? Master Baihu is standing! How dare the three of you sit down and ask him questions? It seems like you guys have a deathwish!" said a muscular man.

With a frown on her face, Bai Linsu then stood up slowly. Upon seeing that, Linghu Shuang stood up as well. As for Chen Xiaobei, he insisted that he would not stand up for him. This was his nature after all. If someone treated him rudely, he would not be afraid of treating the person in an even ruder manner.

"Please don't get me into trouble. Stand up please!" whispered Bai Linsu.

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei stood up because he did not want to drag Bai Linsu into unnecessary trouble.

"Can you please talk to us now?" asked Bai Linsu for the third time.

"Hmph! I have an order from the Prince Regent! The order is to capture Bai Linsu and her allies!"

"What?! Master Baihu, there must be some misunderstanding! I just met the Prince Regent! He was the one that allowed me to leave the palace!"

"Are you trying to say that I'm making up the order? You should know that accusing a Black Armor Guard is punishable by death!"

"No… I'm not saying that you are making up the order. I just want to know why!"

"Why? I don't know the reason behind it! I am asked to capture you, that's all! That's the order!"

"Fine! I will come with you! As for my disciple and my friend, can they…"

"No! They are your allies! According to the order, I'm supposed to capture them as well! No one is allowed to walk away from us!"

"This…"

Bai Linsu would not say yes to the Black Armor Guard since Chen Xiaobei and Linghu Shuang were now dragged into her trouble.

"What now? Are you going to disobey the order? I know your cultivation is higher than me! If you disobey this direct order, I will have to use the Black Jade Token! By that time, Master Zhihui Shi and two Zhenfu Shi will come and arrest you and your allies personally!"

Bai Linsu was left in shock after hearing what he said.

"I'm really curious! Who is more powerful? You or the three masters?!"

Seemingly, Bai Linsu could not make up her mind right now.

"No! Don't do that! We will come with you guys!"

To their surprise, they did not expect Chen Xiaobei would succumb to them follow their order. That was not the Chen Xiaobei that they knew. The reason why Chen Xiaobei changed his mind was because he had noticed that the Black Armor Guard and Prince Regent had a huge influence in the entire Green Hill Starfield.

He wanted to know why Bai Linsu had left the Palace in tears.

He also wanted to know what was going on with the queen's baby.

Since Bai Linsu was not willing to tell him about it, he had decided to go inside the palace to find out himself.

"Bai Linsu, your ally has succumbed to us! What are you going to do now?"

"I… I'm willing to follow you back to the Palace!" said Bai Linsu.

"I can't believe that the legendary Bai Linsu is a coward! Chain them up and bring them with us!"

"Yes sir!"

Immediately, all the muscular men cuffed them with cuffs that were made out of Obsidian Steel. They then took out three bottles with mysterious liquid inside them to feed the three of them.

"What is that?" asked Chen Xiaobei.

"This is Black Jade Ethereal Force Sealing solution! Our Ethereal Force will be sealed completely after we drink it! In other words, we will not be able to fight unless we get the antidote!" answered Bai Linsu.

"Okay… Fine. I will drink it!"

The moment the solution went inside Chen Xiaobei's stomach, he could feel something had blocked his Dantian and he could no longer muster a single ounce of Ethereal Force.

After that, Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang drank it as well.

"Let's go!"

The sick looking man swung his hand and brought them to leave the restaurant. Soon, they arrived at a magnificent looking building. There were three words inscripted on an engraved board which said Heilin Shi! Though the name was slightly different, Chen Xiaobei thought about the Zhenfu Shi during Ming Dynasty.

After that, all of them hustled and locked up in a cold and dark prison cell. Minutes later, an old and thin man approached them.

"Greetings Prince Regent! All hail the king! All hail the king!"

The sick looking man and all the muscular men knelt down at the same time.

"Okay!

The old man harrumphed, took out a dozen black stones as big as eggs, and tossed them into the sky. Immediately, all the people who kneeled on the ground snatched the stones like a bunch of rabid dogs that had been starved for a long time.

"Thank you, my king! Thank you so much! All hail our eternal king!"

The sick looking man managed to snatch two of them and the rest of the people managed to snatch at least one each.

"That is…"

Chen Xiaobei had his gaze fixed on the black stones and he was surprised that he actually recognized it. Some time ago, he was in possession of two of these black stones. It allowed him to increase his combat power tremendously.

These black stones were none other than the 10,000 year-old Ambergris! Usually a piece of 10,000 year-old Ambergris could be found buried under the deep sea. Hence the name, it had to use 10,000 years to absorb the essence of Spiritual Qi. By consuming a piece of it, one could increase their combat power by a total of 3,000!

Focker from the Rothschild Family used to spend a ridiculous amount of money to build different kinds of infrastructure on an island with the purpose of locating a single piece of 10,000 years-old Ambergris. One could imagine that it was an extremely rare item back on Earth. Seeing that the Prince Regent could toss a dozen of it on the ground for his people had Chen Xiaobei figure out that the resources on a higher-tier planet was definitely more abundant than that of planet Earth.

Right now, Chen Xiaobei's goal was to train himself to get to God Ascension cultivation within three months. With his eyes fixed on the Ambergris, he knew that he had to get his hands on it to achieve his current goal. The more he consumed, the more powerful he would become. Of course, he had to look for a higher-tier Ambergris to boost his combat power. All the Ambergris that the Prince Regent tossed to the floor were useless to Chen Xiaobei.

Just like the Hundred Herbs Potion, it was now useless to Chen Xiaobei as he had become a lot more powerful. Right now, he had to use Taiyi Life Enhancement Pills to achieve a better healing effect. If he wanted to cure an Earth God or a deity, he would have to resort to using Divine Medicine rather than Taiyi Life Enhancement Pills.

Considering Chen Xiaobei's current cultivation, he would need 100,000 year-old or a million year-old Ambergris to boost his combat power.

Of course, a 100,000 year-old or a million year-old Ambergris was definitely an ultra-rare item. Chen Xiaobei would have a hard time looking for them. At least he had now managed to figure out a way to increase his combat power in the shortest time possible. If he wanted to do something in the span of three months that other ordinary people had to spend at least hundreds of years to complete, he would have to attempt all kinds of strange methods to make himself more powerful.

Right now, he had something more important to deal with.

"Prince Regent! Does the Queen know that you've captured us?" asked Bai Linsu.

"Hmph! What do you mean by that? Are you questioning my loyalty to the Queen?!"

"No… I don't mean that…"

"Stop lying! You are clearly questioning my loyalty! You must have thought that I would capture you and your friends behind the Queen's back!"

"Prince Regent, please calm down! Linsu is not questioning your loyalty to the queen! She just wants to know the reason why you captured us!" said Chen Xiaobei.

"Who the hell are you?"

Wei Zhonglie turned around and looked at Chen Xiaobei.

Usually, Wei Zhonglie was really confident about his Qi Field. He could easily strike fear in the hearts of every single person on Green Hill Planet with ease. To his surprise, he did not expect that Chen Xiaobei was completely unfearful of him. That would mean that Chen Xiaobei's Qi Field was almost as powerful as his! Luckily, Chen Xiaobei was wearing an old man's mask; otherwise Wei Zhonglie would have gotten the shock of his life.

"I'm Linsu's Sifu!"

Chen Xiaobei went ahead and started to make up a high tale. Upon hearing that, Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang were left in shock. Thinking about it, Chen Xiaobei did indeed look like an old man. The reason that he had just given made perfect sense to everyone.

"Sifu? I have never heard that Bai Linsu has a Sifu!" said Wei Zhonglie rudely.

"That is because you don't care about her!"

Staring at Chen Xiaobei, Wei Zhonglie could not find any flaws in Chen Xiaobei's conversation. One could only say that Chen Xiaobei was an excellent actor. Considering that Bai Linsu did not always come back here, Wei Zhonglie would never be able to find out whether Bai Linsu truly had a Sifu or not.

"I believe what you say… for now! After all, Bai Linsu is not powerful enough to kill all three demigods of Yi Family!"

"Kill? Three demigods? What… What the hell is going on?"

Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang could not figure out what had happened to the Yi Family since at that time, they were in the gourd.

"That's right! I'm the one who killed that three pieces of shit!" said Chen Xiaobei with his shoulders shrugged.

"How… How is that even possible?" asked Bai Linsu, shocked.

One should know that Yi Mozhi was more powerful than Bai Linsu and two of his Guardians were elites with God Ascension cultivation as well. In order to avoid crossing paths with these three people, they had chosen to hide in the gourd. To their surprise, Chen Xiaobei had actually killed the three of them to cross the portal.

Earlier, Chen Xiaobei told Linghu Shuang that he had done something big. Now, she knew that Chen Xiaobei was telling the truth all along.

"It's good that you admitted it! It's time for you to pay the price! As the guardians of Green Hill, it's only right for me to chop off all of your heads and bring peace to Yi Family!"

After a whole day of mucking about, it was finally revealed that Wei Zhonglie's reason for arresting Bai Linsu and her friends was not for fun but because of news about what happened back in Violet Reborn. The news had eventually reached Green Hill Starfield.

Upon hearing this, Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang began to panic.

He who murders pays a forfeit of his life! There was such a law in Green Hill Starfield!

If Wei Zhonglie were to incriminate them on this account and execute the three of them, it would be considered reasonable and fair – a legitimate act in this place!

Even the Empress Bai Ziyan would not be able to intervene! In fact, she would not dare intervene!

This was no joke! This really was a matter of life and death!

Fear was written all over Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang's faces but because they had drunk the Black Jade Ethereal Force Sealing solution, and therefore could not put up a fight.

Rendered unable to use their Ethereal Force, they could only wait for death!

Despair filled both Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang.

But Chen Xiaobei was unperturbed. "A life for a life! If I have to pay with my life for killing someone, then if someone else kills me, would they have to pay with their life as well?"

"Of course?" Wei Zhonglie answered. "Green Hill Starfield's laws are fair! Nobles and commoners who violate the law would be punished the in the same way!"

"That's great!" Chen Xiaobei broke into a smile. "I was on my own when I travelled through the portal and had not done anything against the law but the Yi Family wanted to kill me so they could get their hands on my Infinite Space Ring! The other powerful families of Violet Reborn and thousands of other people can be witness to this! If you don't believe me, you can go find out for yourself! All the Yi Family's elites came to kill me! If I hadn't fought back, I would have died! Based on what you said just now, the members of the Yi Family are the ones who committed the crime and, by law, should be executed! Wasn't it entirely justified for me to have killed them?"

Chen Xiaobei said this in a tone that was neither overbearing nor obsequious!

Those who murder are the ones who deserve to die!

"That…" Wei Zhonglie was speechless.

"In my opinion, this is all a misunderstanding. Prince Regent, you don't need to trouble yourself. Just let us go!"

"Let you go? No way! That's just your side of the story. I don't even if it's true!"

"If you don't believe me, you can go and look into it!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "I can guarantee that the three most powerful families and tens of thousands of citizens of Violet Reborn would testify on my behalf!"

"You guarantee? On what basis?" Wei Zhonglie asked.

"I am not at liberty to inform you!" Chen Xiaobei chuckled.

Chen Xiaobei was so confident because the three remaining powerful families all wanted a piece of the Yi Family!

If the Yi Family was portrayed as the victim and received the protection of the royal family, the three powerful families' dreams would then be destroyed.

On the contrary, only if the Yi Family was made out to be the criminal and relinquished by the royal family, would they be able to reap the rewards.

There was no doubt that these three families would side with Chen Xiaobei and testify against the Yi Family.

As for the rest of the people of Violet Reborn who would have to depend on the three families, they too would speak against the Yis.

When Chen Xiaobei left, he did not take anything from the Yi Family, as to leave a way out for himself for times as such as this.

Chen Xiaobei was very certain about what the Violet Reborn people were going to say, so he had no problem with Wei Zhonglie going there to investigate.

As a matter of fact, Chen Xiaobei was telling the truth. If Wei Zhonglie were to look into the matter, he would find that everything happened just as Chen Xiaobei had described.

"You really are something!" Wei Zhonglie squinted at Chen Xiaobei. "You have everything right, but you underestimate me! I will not let you off the hook so easily!"

Chen Xiaobei frowned. "Prince Regent, didn't you say that you are loyal? According to Green Hill's laws, you are supposed to release us!"

"Law?" Wei Zhonglie grinned. "This is the Black Phantom Bureau! All our 10,000 Black Armor Guards are my loyal servants! In here, my word is the law!"

"Your word is the law?" Chen Xiaobei's eyebrows raised. "So, you're saying that, you the Prince Regent are the most powerful person in Green Hill?"

"So, what if I am?!" Wei Zhonglie raised his chin vaingloriously.

"Then what about her Royal Highness? How are you going to explain killing us to her?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

"Explain?" Wei Zhonglie laughed contemptuously. "Heh, why would I need to explain my actions to anyone?"

Bai Linsu was furious. "Wei Zhonglie! You've finally revealed your true self!"

"True self? What true self?" Wei Zhonglie retorted.

"You are using the Black Phantom Bureau to control Green Hill" Bai Linsu snarled. "You claim that you are loyal but in reality, you defy the Empress and you defy the law! You murder people who do not conform to your ways in cold blood and you monopolize power! You crueI bastard! have all the reasons to suspect that you, Wei Zhonglie, are a traitor!"

Linghu Shuang's widened in horror.

But Chen Xiaobei showed no surprise, because it was all within his expectation.

Bai Linsu had been unwilling to share the secrets of Green Hill's royal family.

Under such conditions though, through this emotional outburst, Bai Linsu laid bare her disgust and hatred towards Wei Zhonglie!

All that pent-up secrets buried deep inside her heart was revealed.

And all these important clues allowed Chen Xiabei to get closer to the truth.

The truth was out.

"Heh, hehehe…" Wei Zhonglie sniggered. "You could no longer hide your true self either, could you? Ever since the Emperor went missing, you have been out searching for him! You were going to find him so that he can kill me, right?"

"Yes!" Bai Linsu answered truthfully. "I cannot stand your overbearance! I cannot stand watching you push my sister around! I cannot stand seeing you hogging all the power, and you treating Green Hill as your private property! When the Emperor returns, he will make sure to get rid of the cancerous growth that you are from Green Hill! I look forward to that day!"

"Very good! I admire your courage!" Wei Zhonglie narrowed his eyes and snarled, "Do you know what the consequences are for saying these things?"

"We all know it's death!" Bai Linsu spat. "You never intended to let the three of us go anyway!"

"The three of you? Oh, I really didn't think you'd be that naïve!" Wei Zhonglie sneered. "It's not just the three of you who would have to die today!"

"You… You're going to kill my sister too?" Bai Linsu's voice rose an octave. "No… You wouldn't dare! You still need the Empress to stabilize the whole thing! You wouldn't dare kill her!"

"You're right. Bai Zixuan is an important puppet. Of course, I won't kill her!" Wei Zhonglie said delightedly. "But, that worthless seed in her womb cannot stay!"

Chen Xiaobei and Bai Linsu exploded with rage at this statement.

"Wei Zhonglie! You sick bastard! How dare you hurt an innocent unborn child?!" said Bai Linsu, her eyes and heart filled with wrath.

"Heh! You are the one who said that I'm will betray the country! How am I supposed to become a King if I let that unborn child live?!"

"You… You… I'm going to kill you…"

In order to protect the future King and her sister's child, Bai Linsu was willing to go all out to kill Wei Zhonglie. Looking at Bai Linsu's pained face, Wei Zhonglie got even more excited.

"Your Ethereal Force has already been sealed by me earlier! You can't even break the cuff on you! and you wish to kill me? What a joke! Hahaha!"

"Let me go! Let me go! Give me the antidote if you a real man! Let's fight for real!"

"Is that a joke? You of all the people should know how powerful I am! You will not be able to defeat me even if I give you the antidote! Just die already! Don't waste our time!"

"Oi! You son of a bitch! Did you just say that you want to kill my disciple?! Did you even ask for my permission?!" shouted Chen Xiaobei while glaring at Wei Zhonglie.

"You… What did you just called me?!"

Wei Zhonglie was stunned after hearing what Chen Xiaobei called him.

"You… Are you insane?!" exclaimed Wei Zhonglie.

So far, no one ever had the guts to call Wei Zhonglie 'son of a bitch'. Chen Xiaobei was the first person that humiliated him in such a brazen way.

"Chen… Sifu…! What are you…"

Bai Linsu could not figure out why Chen Xiaobei would anger Wei Zhonglie in this life and death moment.

"Linsu, don't be afraid! With me here, this son of a bitch will never be able to hurt you!" said Chen Xiaobei in a calmed manner.

Seemingly, he had everything under his control. To her surprise, Bai Linsu could actually feel safer under Chen Xiaobei's protection. It was as if she had found herself a safe harbor; and that no storm would be able to hurt her. At the same time, Linghu Shuang felt the same security as well.

"Are you even in your right mind?! Don't you forget that you drank the poison that I gave you earlier as well! You can't protect Bai Linsu! Just like her, you will soon turn into dead meat!"

"Do you really think that kind of weakass poison can seal my Ethereal Force?!"

"Of course! Obsidian Ethereal Sealing poison is one of the secret poisons of Green Hill Starfield! It can seal everyone's Ethereal Force except for an Earth God! Please don't tell me that you are an Earth God!"

"Congratulations! You are right for once! I'm am indeed an Earth God!"

"Stop acting tough in front of me! Someone please come here and cut off his ugly tongue! I don't want to hear him talk anymore!"

"Yes master!"

Immediately, a muscular man came from the back and channeled Fire Ethereal Force to his hand. He was going to use his bare hand to cut of Chen Xiaobei's tongue.

"NO!!!"

Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang shouted at the same time. Both of their eyes were filled with fear and terror.

BAM!

Right at that critical moment, Chen Xiaobei channeled Lighting Ethereal Force to his leg and landed a kick on the muscular man's chest.

Blargghh…

His True Kang Armor was shattered and his chest was completely destroyed. He was then sent flying to the wall behind him. The force was so powerful that it shattered the wall as well.

"How… How is that even possible?!"

Everyone around Chen Xiaobei was left in awe. The legendary Green Hill's Obsidian Ethereal Sealing Solution was useless on Chen Xiaobei. Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang knew that Chen Xiaobei was no ordinary elite. They were obviously shocked by it but they managed to accept the fact that Chen Xiaobei was powerful enough to be unaffected by the Obsidian Ethereal Force solution after a while.

"What… What the hell is going on?"

Wei Zhonglie started to doubt if Chen Xiaobei had really drank a bottle of real Obsidian Ethereal Force solution.

Klak!

Chen Xiaobei exerted force on his cuff and broke it with ease.

"Could you really be Earth God? How is that even possible?"

Wei Zhonglie was so scared that he took a few steps back and got ready to channel Ethereal Force to flee from the scene.

"Let me tell you. I'm actually not an Earth God but I possess something that is more powerful than an Earth God!"

Chen Xiaobei then started to walk towards Wei Zhonglie. Not only had he no fear in him, he was exuding a dominant aura like an alpha wolf. The thing that Chen Xiaobei mentioned was more powerful than an Earth God was the Cleansing Bodhi inside his Seven Treasure Fragrant Pouch. It was true that Chen Xiaobei's Dantian was sealed when he drank the poison earlier. Since it was considered as a poison, the Cleansing Bodhi would cleanse Chen Xiaobei's body the moment it detected a harmful substance in his body.

"You… Don't come close to me…"

Wei Zhonglie was completely suppressed by Chen Xiaobei's Qi Field. Not knowing how powerful Chen Xiaobei was, Wei Zhonglie was soaked in fear. Considering the fact that Chen Xiaobei had just defeated three demigods from Yi Family, Wei Zhonglie could guess that Chen Xiaobei must possess something that was powerful enough to defeat a demigod with ease.

Right now, Wei Zhonglie came to a realization that he had spent a great deal of time and effort to get to where he was today. He would definitely not risk his life no matter what.

"Friend! Let's talk about it!" said Wei Zhonglie in a polite manner.

"Hmph! I refuse to talk to you nicely!"

Ding!

[Cultivation: Later phase of God Ascension. Lifespan: 1,866. Health: 1,400,000. Combat power: 1,400,000!]

Wei Zhonglie was an extremely powerful foe. His combat power was 300,000 more than Yi Mozhi. Still, Chen Xiaobei was not afraid of him and decided to employ the method of how he killed Yi Mozhi to kill Wei Zhonglie.

"Friends! It's better to make a friend than an enemy! I have an Earth-God tier weapon with me! You might not be able to defeat if we fight against each other!"

"Are you trying to threaten me?!"

"So, what if I threaten you?! Try me if you are so confident!"

"You are going to pay with your life if you threaten me!"

The battle was now set in stone and was about to begin.

Swoosh…

Chen Xiaobei stepped out and brought out the Blood God's Deity Killing painting. Immediately, the entirely area turned blood red. The murderous intent that started floating in the air sent chills to everyone's spines.

"Eh? Judging by the energy wave and the power of this painting, I think this is a Nine-star Spiritual Instrument! You are going to use this item to defeat me?! Is that supposed to be a joke?!"

Seconds ago, Wei Zhonglie was still trying to figure out Chen Xiaobei's true strength. After checking out on how powerful the painting was, all his worries and fear were swiftly swept away, replaced by confidence.

"A joke? I think you are going to cry later!"

"Hahaha! This is the funniest joke that I ever heard in my life! You are just a weakling after all! The Spiritual Instrument that you are holding is not powerful enough to even leave a dent on me! I don't even need to use my Earth-God weapon to go against you! It seems I can kill with just my bare hands!"

"Cut the crap! Let's fight!"

Chen Xiaobei was now filled with raging battle intent. Knowing that Wei Zhonglie was the only barrier stopping him from looking for the answer that he wanted, he knew that once he killed this old man, would he be able to approach the Queen and ask all the questions that he wanted to. That was why Chen Xiaobei did not bother to talk to him.

"Why should I stop you if you want to die?!"

Wei Zhonglie glared at Chen Xiaobei and unleashed all the aura that was stored inside his body.

Swoosh!

He then swung his hands and covered it in flame. This attack that he was about to unleash on Chen Xiaobei was rated at 1.4 million combat power! The flame it produced was so hot that it melted the air around it.

"Be careful!"

Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang screamed at the same time. Though they knew that Chen Xiaobei might be able to handle Wei Zhonglie's attack, they still could not help but worry for him. Bai Linsu knew that she would have been killed by this attack instantaneously if she was in Chen Xiaobei's place right now.

BAM!

The attack landed on a space two meters from where Chen Xiaobei stood. Somehow, it the attack failed to proceed!

"What… What the hell is that thing?"

Left in shock, Wei Zhonglie had his gaze fixed on the black box that stopped his attack. The moment when Wei Zhonglie unleashed the attack, Chen Xiaobei took out the black box from his Infinite Space Ring. To everyone's surprise, the black box was tough enough to completely stop the attack. The thing that puzzeld the was that the black box did not even move a single inch after it came in contact with the 1.4 million combat-power attack.

"Could it be… There's an Earth-God tier formation inside the black box?! If not, there's no way that this black box can stop my ultimate attack!"

After hearing Wei Zhonglie talking, Chen Xiaobei came to a revelation. If the effect of the formation was like what Wei Zhonglie said, cultivation and strength was not going to help with opening the black box. Of course, that was a topic for the future. Right now, Chen Xiaobei needed to kill Wei Zhonglie to protect the Queen and Bai Linsu.

"Black Dragon Riders!!!"

Chen Xiaobei shouted and poured out millions of Spiritual Stones. All of them were crushed by an invisible force and were absorbed by the black box. Upon seeing that, Bai Linsu and Bai Linghu Shuang were left in shock once again. They had never seen someone spening so many Spiritual Stones on one thing before.

"What… What are you planning to do?!"

Considering that Wei Zhonglie had gone through countless battles in his life, he had figured out that he could soon discover what Chen Xiaobei had been hiding up his sleeve.

"Is this black box your trump card?! You are not powerful enough and you have to use tons of Spiritual Stones to power up an item to defeat me! How long do you think you can continue doing that?!"

"Don't you worry about that! I have a lot of Spiritual Stones!"

"Continue to act tough please! I want to see how long you can keep this up!"

"Divine… Divine Blazing Tiger Saber!!!"

"Sifu!!! Be careful! That's Wei Zhonglie's One-star Earth-God weapon! It's really powerful! Enough to kill all the elites with God Ascension cultivation!" shouted Bai Linsu.

Clearly, the reason why most of the rulers in the starfields could reign for so long was because of the Earth-God tier items that they possessed! Just like the Overlord from Northern Wilderness Starfield, he had three Earth-God tier items! Many elites with God Ascension cultivation had to succumb to him. Considering that Wei Zhonglie had one Earth-God tier item, that would surely mean the king of Green Hill Starfield possessed even more Earth-God tier items.

"That's a good saber! You have to use Spiritual Stones to use the item since you are not an Earth-God!"

"I don't have to do that!"

Immediately, Wei Zhonglie planted his saber into the ground. He then made a series of complicated hand sigils to activate a formation.

Phissh!

Suddenly, a huge amount of Spiritual Qi rushed out from under the ground and infused into the saber.

"This is the Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Path that lies underground!" exclaimed Chen Xiaobei.

"You are right! There is a giant Spiritual Path here! That would mean an unlimited supply of Spiritual Qi! Your Spiritual Stones cannot compare with this Spiritual Path! Hahaha…"

The Spiritual Channel that lay underground was where the most concentrated Spiritual Qi gathered. Considering the fact that Green Hill could be considered as a high-tier starfield, their Spiritual Qi was higher in quality than most of the other starfields. Like a river flowing, there were at least hundreds of thousands of Spiritual Stones that were being absorbed into the Divine Flaming Tiger Saber. After a while, Wei Zhonglie lifted his saber and sealed the Spiritual Channel to prevent more Spiritual Qi from flowing out from it.

"What now? Who do you think has more Spiritual Qi? Your Spiritual Stones or my Spiritual Channel?!"

Glaring at Chen Xiaobei, Wei Zhonglie held his sword with both of his hands. Immediately, the sword's Qi was being unleashed to the air and the temperature around them increased tremendously right after that. Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang were considered to be very powerful elites. Still, they were having a hard time enduring the extreme heat around them.

As for the sick looking man and the dozen Black Armored Guards, they had to stand far away to avoid being hurt by Wei Zhonglie's attack.

"Faction Leader Chen! How did you come across this kind of enemy? Do you think you can defeat him?"

Suddenly, a husky voice could be heard from inside the black box. Its demonic presence soon suppressed the Sword Qi and filled the air with its murderous intent instead.

"Who are you?!"

Wei Zhonglie glared at the black box and he became really cautious of it. None of them would have expected that the person talking in the black box was none other than Emperor Qin himself! Seeing that Wei Zhonglie possessed an Earth-God weapon which was being powered up by Spiritual Channel, Emperor Qin could not help but worry for Chen Xiaobei. After all, the two of them were not allies. If something bad did happen to Chen Xiaobei, the black box would fall into others' hands and his revenge plan would fail completely. In the worst case scenario, his soul might even be destroyed alongside with the black box.

"Don't be nervous! I know what to do with him! He can never hurt me!"

"Who… Who are you talking to?"

Feeling nervous, Wei Zhonglie was worried that an Earth God might come out from the black box to attack him.

"It's none of your business! Black Dragon Riders! Form up! Let's kill our enemies!"

Phissh…

Suddenly, a demonic shadow jumped out from the black box. It had two horns which looked terrifying. It was at least a few meters tall. Immediately, everyone could feel that the murderous intent in the air was about to crush them.

Swoosh!

After that, hundreds of thousands of black shadows charged out from the body of the demonic shadow like a rain of arrows. Those who witnessed the attack had a sinking feeling that there would be a bloodbath soon.

"Kill!!!"

The shroud around the shadows were gone and their true forms were revealed! All of them transformed into spirits which held weapons and they were clad in thick armor.

Phissh…

At the same time, the Blood God's Deity Killing painting that Chen Xiaobei took out earlier synchronized with the shadows and tens of thousands of crimson rays were shot on to every single one of them. The crimson rays had managed to make them more powerful and terrifying! Their armor were painted red and a blood-red cape appeared on every single soldier. Everyone that witnessed the presence started to imagine the whole place turning into a living hell. Right now, the 10,000 armies had all turned into reapers that were born for killing.

"All of you should look for a safe place to hide!"

Chen Xiaobei took out the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd and kept Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang inside it. They were having a hard time holding on with the immense murderous intent that they were experiencing. Besides, as their Dantian was sealed, it could turn fatal for them if they were hurt in this fight between Chen Xiaobei and Wei Zhonglie.

Considering that Wei Zhonglie was an elite who wanted to take over the Green Hill's throne, his state of mind was more powerful than most of the people here. That was why he could still bear the immense pressure.

"This is really an Earth-God Formation! But, it has to work together with the black box! I just need to destroy either the black box or the painting to break the formation!"

To Chen Xiaobei's surprise, Wei Zhonglie was smarter than he thought.

"You are right! However, I don't think you can break either one of them!"

Swoosh…

The crimson fire covered Wei Zhonglie. This ability from the Blood God's Deity Killing painting could render Wei Zhonglie paralyzed and seal his Ethereal Force. Any elites who were weaker than an Earth God would never be freed from this restriction.

"Flame up!"

Suudenly, Wei Zhonglie shouted and the Earth God weapon that he was holding started to act upon his command.

BAM!

His saber was then covered with flame and the temperature around him increased even further. It truly felt like the heat was hot enough to melt everything around them.

"Tiger Fissure!"

Right after that, Wei Zhonglie shouted and swung his saber. The flame that flew along with the sword turned into a giant flaming tiger!

Swoosh!

The flaming tiger swung its claws at the crimson flame binding that Chen Xiaobei put on Wei Zhonglie. Every single slash consisted of the strength of an Earth God. Within seconds, the binding was destroyed completely.

"Hmph! These two things are both One-star Earth-God Instruments, but I'm more powerful than you! Tell me now, how do you wish to die?!"

"Finally, a worthy opponent! Time for me test my true strength!"

As Chen Xiaobei said, he had not encountered a decent opponent for a while now.

Because he had powerful items and sufficient Spiritual Stones, many of the opponents he encountered were incompetent weaklings.

Wei Zhonglie however, was a totally different animal all together!

This old thing had the Flaming Tiger Divine Saber which could break the binding of the Blood God's Deity-Killing painting; which meant that he could directly attack Chen Xiaobei.

Later phase of God Ascension cultivation! 1,400,000 combat power!

With his current abilities, the chances of Chen Xiaobei killing an opponent of this caliber was close to zero.

On the contrary, the fact that Wei Zhonglie was able to move about freely was a deadly threat to Chen Xiaobei's life!

One slip up, and Chen Xiaobei might just end up being the one who died!

It was a good thing that Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang were already inside the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd or they would have been even more worried.

"So? Are you afraid now?" Wei Zhonglie smiled. An evil murderous look flashed in his eyes as he roared, "Flame up!"

In a split second, the Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger fell to a hunting stance, crouched on all fours, its head close to the ground, and was building up momentum.

This was then followed by an explosion of blinding bright light.

The temperature of the place rose, and the brick floor under the tiger's claws melted into a shocking lake of red magma. The surrounding air seemed to shudder under the heat.

This was the power of an Earth-God instrument!

There was no need for an assault. The temperature alone was enough to turn the average person into a nicely charred barbeque!

Fortunately, the cold from the coffin was enough to counter the frightening heat. Otherwise, Chen Xiaobei's health would have greatly suffered from the burns that he would endure!

"Faction Leader Chen…" Ying Zheng asked in hushed voice. "Are you sure you can do this?"

Chen Xiaobei had no intention of backing off. "If you're scared, I can put you back! Why should I be afraid when I have the Black Dragon Riders?"

"Scared? Faction Leader Chen! Are you kidding?!" Ying Zheng was suddenly stirred up. "Me! The one who conquered six states, and ruled China! The word scared does not exist in my dictionary!"

"If you're not afraid, then keep quiet and watch the fight!" Chen Xiaobei snapped. "Soon, I'll show you that you will never regret being my ally!"

"Good! Bold and feisty!" Ying Zheng said sonorously, "Please! Faction leader! Go ahead! I will wait and see!"

Fwaaah

Chen Xiaobei waved his hand and released 1 million Spiritual Stones.

The Spiritual Stones shattered and Spiritual Qi surged into Chen Xiaobei's palm in an endless stream.

Both Wei Zhonglie and Ying Zheng were shocked to see this.

Most people's Dantian would have a limited capacity.

When the number of Spiritual Qi they took in exceeded their limits, they would fall into a Qi Deviation state and explode!

Chen Xiaobei had just taken in one million Spiritual Qi! That had seriously exceeded the capacity of his Dantian!

Strangely, Chen Xiaobei was absolutely fine – there was not a single sign of discomfort on him!

This was unprecedented!

"Tiger Penetration!"

Worried that Chen Xiaobei might come up something surprising, Wei Zhonglie immediately launched an attack.

BAM!

The Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger had been gearing up for some time now. The energy that it released had increased by 10%!

Do not underestimate a 10% increase – at an Earth God level, 10% could be as much as 100,000 combat power.

However, due to the fact that the Flaming Tiger Divine Saber was merely an Earth-God instrument and not an actual Earth-God, Chen Xiaobei could not tell, even with his Netherspirit Battlescouter, on how much combat power it was exactly.

Zing!"

Wei Zhonglie struck with his Flaming Tiger Divine Saber!

The Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger on standby suddenly tore towards the direction of the saber! It was moving so quickly that all the naked eye could see were red steaks of silhouettes.

This time, Wei Zhonglie's target was the Blood-God's Deity-Killing painting hovering in the air!

He decided that since he could not destroy the black coffin, and that since Chen Xiaobei had just taken in one million Spiritual Stones, the painting was the most vulnerable target!

Once the painting was destroyed, the hundred-thousand spirit formation would crumble, and that killing Chen Xiaobei would be a breeze!

It was undeniable that Wei Zhonglie's decision was strategically accurate. If he succeeded in this endeavour, Chen Xiaobei was doomed.

But!

The Blood God's Deity-Killing painting was not to be trifled with!

"Killl!" All 10,000 of the Blood-robed Evil Spirits shouted their battle cry.

The Blood-robed Evil Spirits which were nearby immediately surrounded the painting, while the others swooped down from the air like eagles to meet the Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger's attack.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Thousands of Blood-robed Evil Spirits came to the top of the tiger's head. The murderous intent was so strong that an elite like Wei Zhonglie was forced to take a step back and suck in a deep breath.

The sea-of-bodies illusion entered Wei Zhonglie's mind so much so he felt as if he could be ripped apart by these Blood-robed Evil Spirits at any moment!

But Wei Zhonglie was not just anybody, and he did not succumb to the internal chaos created by the hallucinations.

"How evil!"

Wei Zhonglie bit the tip of his tongue so that pain would shoot right up into his brain, forcing his mind to remain calm, and dispel the horror in his mind!

Bam!

The Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger had already engaged in a fierce battle with the Blood-robed Evil Spirits.

The Flaming Tiger Divine Saber was a One-star Earth-God instrument, and had already activated its Spiritual Attribute. So, although the Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger was just an illusion, it was already very close to being an actual Spiritual Beast – able to fight a combat without Wei Zhonglie controlling it.

Bam!

With claws dancing in the air, the tiger was maneuvering, launching powerful strikes at the nearest Blood-robed Evil Spirit, sending them tumbling through the air.

The Flaming Tiger Divine Saber itself was Pure Yang item, enabling it to wound the Blood-robed Evil Spirits' spiritual bodies, leaving scorch marks on each of them. On top of that, black smoke was escaping from those injuries. The damage was pretty serious.

"Haha… The victory belongs to me!" Wei Zhonglie laughed delightfully. "I am more powerful than you could ever dream to be! The Flaming Tiger Divine Saber can counter your Earth-God instrument and eliminate all of your Blood-robed Evil Spirits! You're a dead man now! Hahaha…"

"Faction Leader Chen! Hurry! Give me one million Spiritual Stones now!" Ying Zheng suddenly shouted. "The formation can mend the Black Dragon Riders' wounds and prevent them from dying!"

Wei Zhonglie snorted, "Heh, more Spiritual Stones? What, do you think this Mr. Chen is the God of Prosperity? He has just used up two million Spiritual Stones! I don't believe he can take out another one million!"

"Hehe," Chen Xiaobei chuckled. "To me, any problem that can be solved with Spiritual Stones is not a problem at all!"

When he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Spiritual Stones came falling down like rain!

Hwaaaa!

Wei Zhonglie had claimed that there was no way Chen Xiaobei would be able to take out another 1 million Spiritual Stones but Chen Xiaobei took out three million!

"Heavens… Faction Leader Chen! How do you have so many Spiritual Stones?! You are loaded…" Ying Zheng exclaimed.

He may have been the Emperor of the Qin Empire, but he had never, in his time on Earth, seen three million Spiritual Stones!

Imagine how shaken he was to see three million Spiritual Stones in one sitting!

"H… How is this possible…" The corner of Wei Zhonglie's lips twitched erratically. He was incredulous. How could Chen Xiaobei take out so many Spritual Stones just like that?!

The old fart had ridiculed Chen Xiaobei a second ago but now Chen Xiaobei repaid him with a three-million-Spiritual-Stone slap in the face! What a bummer for him!

Zing!

Wei Zhonglie's embarrassment quickly escalated into anger, and he swung his Flaming Tiger Divine Saber vigorously.

Each swing was another charge of energy added to the Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger, strengthening and emboldening the untamed tiger that it pounced on the Blood-robe Evil Spirits with the utmost gusto!

Once Ying Zheng transferred the three million Spiritual Qi into the coffin, black smog exploded from the bodies of the Dark Demon, and upon inhaling the smog, the injured Blood-robed Evil Spirits were restored to full health, and were able to continue battling!

In terms of combat power, the Blood-robed Evil Spirits were no match for the Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger – that was why they were injured.

But now, the Evil Spirits could ignore their injuries and continue to assault their enemy.

That way, the Blood-robed Evil Spirits were able to use their great numbers to their advantage.

As the battle continued, the Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger soon found that it was overwhelmed by the Evil Spirits sheer numbers!

Claws dug into its body, wearing down its energy until it became weaker and weaker, until it began to show signs of being on the verge of collapse.

"Faction Leader Chen! You really are something! The fight is turning in our favor!" Ying Zheng shouted in glee. "Being 'rich' is so much fun! As long as we have enough Spiritual Stones, we can use this 'burn money' strategy to win! Winning is only a matter of time!"

"No! Don't celebrate just yet!" Chen Xiaobei dared not let his guard down. His eyes flickered to his enemy, cautious. "That geezer is using the underground Spiritual Channels in its entirety! I can't possible outdo him with the Spiritual Stones that I possess!"

"You mean…" Ying Zheng could sense that something was not right.

Shwaaaaa

Wei Zhonglie dispersed the Battle Tiger.

Hwaaa… Hwa…..

And then he set in motion the formation that controlled the underground Spiritual Channels.

Thick, dense Spiritual Qi burst forth like a stream, and filled the Flaming Tiger Divine Saber.

This time, however, he did not close the formation, but continued to take in Spiritual Qi and attacked at the same time.

"Flame up! Tiger Fissure!" Wei Zhonglie roared, wielding his sword.

Stuffed with Spiritual Qi, the Flaming Tiger Divine Saber exploded with a renewed radiance. Blazing flames condensed and formed a head, one that was exactly the same as the Battle Tiger.

Chen Xiaobei was able to patch up the Blood-robed Evil Spirits using Spiritual Stones. Of course, it was only natural that Wei Zhonglie could do the same, and put his Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger together again!

That confirmed what Chen Xiaobei said, that it was purely a Spiritual Stone battle and that Wei Zhonglie may not lose.

If Chen Xiaobei wanted to win, he would have to kill the King first! Only by taking down Wei Zhonglie could he end this 'burn money' battle!

Alas, Wei Zhonglie and Chen Xiaobei happened to share the same thought!

"I am not stupid… Haha… I'll compete with you!" Wei Zhonglie said, his tone vile and odious. "My Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger may not be able to fight your ten thousand Blood-robed Evil Spirits, but at least it can brace for one minute! In that one minute, I can take your head off and end this battle!"

Bam!

It was exactly as Wei Zhonglie had predicted – The Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger resumed battling against the Blood-robed Evil Spirits, and the Evil Spirits dominated.

Nonetheless, the Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger was also a One-star Earth-God instrument. It was impossible to defeat it with only a single hit.

Before the Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger disappeared, it could still buy Wei Zhonglie some time!

The formation that controlled the underground Spiritual Channel was kept open, and continued feeding the Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger with energy.

"Heheh!" Wei Zhonglie shot Chen Xiaobei a contemptuous smile, and pointed his saber at Chen Xiaobei. "Your Blood-robed Evil Spirits are distracted by my Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger… and you! You have nowhere to run!"

Clearly, Wei Zhonglie wanted to kill Chen Xiaobei first as well!

By sacrificing the Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger to keep the Blood-robed Evil Spirits busy, he could use the supply of underground Spiritual Qis to kill Chen Xiaobei!

"Oh no! That old fox is too treacherous!" Ying Zheng turned to Chen Xiaobei, an obvious panic in his voice. "Faction Leader Chen! Would you be able to make it out alive if we retreat now?"

"Who said we're retreating?' Chen Xiaobei asked him.

"As long as green hills last, there'll always be wood to burn (When there's life, there's hope)!" Ying Zheng was really flustered. "That old crook's combat power is far superior to yours, AND he has an Earth-God instrument! You can't fight this battle!"

"Is he the only one with an Earth-God instrument?" Chen Xiaobei retorted, already beginning tp make his next move.

In a panic, Ying Zheng shouted, "Faction Leader Chen! Your Earth-God instrument is already embroiled with the the Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger! Wouldn't fighting him be suicide? Come back…"

Ying Zheng was ready to jump out of his coffin, but Chen Xiaobei continued to charge towards Wei Zhonglie as if he had not heard him.

Zing! Zing!

With a sufficient supply of energy, the Flaming Tiger Divine Saber that Wei Zhonglie held was able to exert the strength of a demigod. With just two swings, he was able to dismiss the blood-red flame around him.

Wei Zhonglie ran out of the blood-rea flame, shouting, "My Flaming Tiger Divine Saber is already brimming with Spiritual Qi! I will kill you with this strike!"

Zing!

As he spoke, Wei Zhonglie brandished the Flaming Tiger Divine Saber.

The saber was ablaze, and while it did not form the Battle Tiger's image, it exploded with an Earth-God power!

Like a sun that had descended on earth, the saber was about to land on Chen Xiaobei's head!

However!

Chen Xiaobei remained where he was, not dodging or moving, and it also did not look as if he planned to counter the attack!

"Oh? You've finally surrendered?" Wei Zhonglie smirked, his eyes burning with gleeful excitement.

"Faction Leader Chen! You really don't want to live anymore?!" Ying Zheng screamed. If he was not bound by the seal, he really would have jumped out of the coffin and pull Chen Xiaobei out of the away.

That saber had the strength of an Earth-God!

Without a strength equivalent to that, Chen Xiaobei was as good as dead!

"Witch Dragon Transformation!"

Chen Xiaobei suddenly announced.

"What did you say?" Wei Zhonglie's eyebrows curved upwards. "Are you so scared, you're talking gibberish?"

"Fifth change!" The Witch Dragon's blood in Chen Xiaobei's body was activated, and he glowed bright in a purple-gold light. "Swallow All Four Seas!"

Boom!

Instead of running away from the saber coming his way, Chen Xiaobei raised his head and stuck his chest out.

The blade of the saber was right above his head, looking like it was going to cut Chen Xiaobei in half in the next second.

"Haha… You're really scared out of your mind, aren't you? You're not even going to try and avoid it?" Wei Zhonglie sniggered, looking at Chen Xiaobei as if he was a cockroach which was about to be squashed.

"Faction Leader Chen.. You… You have just killed me…" Ying Zheng was inconsolable.

He did not expect Chen Xiaobei to die in a place like this, and that his destiny would fall along with Chen Xiaobei, and be completely terminated.

"Swallow All Four Seas!" Chen Xiaobei shouted, and Wei Zhonglie and Ying Zheng were greeted with a shocking sight!

Hwaaaa…

Chen Xiaobei's flashed in a luminous purplish-golden light, and purplish-golden dragon scales grew until it covered the entire lower half of his face.

"Roaaaar!" Chen Xiaobei lifted his head towards the heavens and roared. As he did, sharp fangs appeared in his mouth.

The blade was right above Chen Xiaobei!

In a matter of a split second, it was about to split Chen Xiaobei like an axe on a piece firewood!

Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei took in a deep breath.

With scales covering his jaws and razor-sharp teeth lining his mouth, a strange energy was unleashed! It was as if a golden purple dragon was going to swallow all four seas in one bite!

Hwaaaaa…

After exactly 0.01 seconds, the Blade Qi that was going to chop Chen Xiaobei into half was sucked into his mouth!

"Oh my god… That… That that that…"

Ying Zheng and Wei Zhonglie's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.

Swallowing an Earth-God attack.

Was that even humanly possible?

There were no words to describe the shock that Wei Zhonglie and Ying Zheng experienced at that moment.

There was no logical explanation to what they had just witnessed!

The only rationale was that Chen Xiaobei was not human! He was a monster!

"Penetrate the Nine Heavens!" But Chen Xiaobei only swallowed half of the Blade Qi, then used Penetrate the Nine Heavens to dodge the remaining Sword Qi!

"You… What kind of monster are you?!" Wei Zhonglie looked like he's seen a ghost.

He looked at Chen Xiaobei again, and saw that Chen Xiaobei's face and legs were covered in purplish-golden dragon scales.

In fact, that was actually not an absurd comment.

"You have the tail of a fox and I have dragon scales. Why are you calling me a monster?" Chen Xiaobei grinned, flashing his glistening white fangs.

"You… Are you the… Do you have the Divine Dragon's bloodline in you?"

Wei Zhonglie stammered.

Ying Zheng was too stunned to even react. He was just an Emperor on Earth. There were a lot of things that he had never seen nor heard before. Right now, he was completely shaken to the core.

"Yes! I do have the bloodline!" Chen Xiaobei said. "You old fart, you can prepare to die since you have seen the real dragon!"

Swoosh!

Chen Xiaobei leaned forward and leapt towards Wei Zhonglie.

"You…" Wei Zhonglie gasped, and immediately activated the Underground Spirit Channel, transferring more Spiritual Qi into the Flaming Tiger Divine Blade.

Wei Zhonglie then whipped out a new Crimson-Flame Battle Tiger to fend off the Blood-robed Evil Spirits.

Simultaneously, the Flaming Tiger Divine Blade continued to take in more Spiritual Qi to block Chen Xiaobei's attack.

"Even you cannot kill me!"

Wei Zhonglie stretched out the Flaming Tiger Divine Blade defensively in front of him and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you can only swallow 50% of the Blade Qi! You've already reached your limit! I just need to strike you once more, and you're at your wits end!"

"At my wits end?" Chen Xiaobei smiled. "My attack has only just begun!"

Zing!

Nine blood streams as thick as a tree trunks shot out of Chen Xiaobei's palm and its dragon-like roars echoed through the air!

The one million Spiritual Stones that Chen Xiaobei took in just now was directed into his palm.

As the Spiritual Qi burned, it provided his blood stream with sufficient energy. Horns started to grow on top of the blood streams and it slowly formed into dragons! Soon after that, everyone could see claws growing out from the dragons. Once the dragons were completely formed, an ancient and powerful aura flooded the area immediately. It was as if nine ancient dragons had just broken through time and space to come here!

"Wh… What is the hell is this thing… You… Are you a human or a god…" Wei Zhonglie uttered a cry of surprise, wondering if Chen Xiaobei was indeed a god.

Chen Xiaobei ignored the question. "Endless darkness! Heed my order!!" he shouted, and summoned a sword out from his palm!

It was about three feet long, cast of blood jade! The body of the sword was covered in dragon scales. One could see a stream of rays flowing inside the sword. The crimson and black dragons were circling the body of the sword. It seemed like they were fighting for the sword. Also, there were nine dotted lights connected with each other circling around the two dragons.

That's right!

This sword was the recently upgraded Chaos Blood Sword!

"When the dragons are summoned, all enemies shall perish!" Chen Xiaobei held onto the hilt of the sword, and the nine blood dragons started to launch their ultimate attack on Wei Zhonglie.

"You… You have another Earth-God instrument…" Wei Zhonglie stared.

Nevertheless, now that Wei Zhonglie had seen all of Chen Xiaobei's cards, he was relieved.

"I have an entire world of Spiritual Qi underground. I can hold both your Earth-God instruments back! Once you've burnt through your supply of Spiritual Stones, I will reap the final reward!"

Wei Zhonglie focused his attention and continued to inject Spiritual Qi into the Flaming Tiger Divine Blade.

With the Underground Spirit Channel, the Crimson-flame Battle Tiger could keep rebuilding itself, enough to keep the Blood God's Deity-Killing painting busy! Whereas the Flaming Tiger Divine Blade could keep the Chaos Blood Sword occupied!

Once again, the battle had become a battle of 'wealth'.

"Even if you have more Spiritual Stones, it can't possibly compare to my Spirit Channel!" Wei Zhonglie's confidence had returned once again.

"I've spent enough Spiritual Stones today! From now on, I won't be using even a single Spiritual Stone!" Chen Xiaobei roared fiercely, "Sixth transformation! Up Against the Heaven!"

"Up Against the Heaven!" At Chen Xiaobei's roar, a foreign object broke out from his back and tore through his black robe.

From the hole, you could see that Chen Xiaobei's back was covered in purplish-golden dragon scales!

There were also short, spiky purple-gold dragon fins growing along his spine!

BAM!

As that was happening, the Chaos Blood Sword's attack had already reached Wei Zhonglie.

Nine blood dragons were going to attack Wei Zhonglie from all eight sides.

Each blood dragon had the enrgy of an Earth-God. The brutal attack that ensued was unparalleled in all worlds!

Zing!

At the same time, Wei Zhonglie continued to swing his Flaming Tiger Divine Saber maniacally.

With an endless supply of Spiritual Qi, each strike bore an equal amount of explosive Earth-God power.

The nine blood dragons were just images and not the Chaos Blood Sword itself, so upon crossing swords, they were slightly weaker than the Flaming Tiger Divine Saber.

The Flaming Tiger Divine Saber moved like lighting and it was sharp enough to slice a sun into half!

Every swing made could take down a blood dragons' head.

"Hahah… I guessed right! With a Flaming Tiger Divine Saber, and energy from the Underground Spirit Channel, I can end your life!" Wei Zhonglie burst into laughter. "Didn't you say that you won't be spending another Spiritual Stone? Once these blood dragons are eliminated, we'll see what else you're going to take out to fight me! Hahaha…"

"I still have 10% strength left in me! It's more than enough to kill you!" Chen Xiaobei gripped the Chaos Blood Sword with both hands, a spine-chilling smile spread across his face. "Destroy!"

Chen Xiaobei stepped out, raised his sword and swung it towards Wei Zhonglie's head.

Then, there was explosion of crimson light!

"Good heavens… Chen… Faction leader Chen is so powerful…" Ying Zheng exclaimed, but there was a hint of worry in his voice. "But the strength of a one-star Earth-God instrument is not enough to beat the enemy…"

"Hmph! How stupid!" Wei Zhonglie appeared not only unafraid, but insolent. "It's just another one-star Earth-God instrument. Your sword won't be able to hurt me at all! After this, all its energy will be spent, and you will not be able to use your Spiritual Stones! You are dead!"

Zing!

Wei Zhonglie immediately raised his saber towards the Chaos Blood Sword. He was right about the outcome of battle though.

With the abundant provision of Spiritual Qi, the Flaming Tiger Divine Saber was able to unleash its true potential.

With both of the having One-star Earth-God Instruments, the fight between Flaming Tiger Divine Saber and the Chaos Blood Sword would be a tie.

That was why Wei Zhonglie was unafraid and full of confidence.

There was no need for Wei Zhonglie to trounce Chen Xiaobei. He only needed to bring the fight to a draw, playing Chen Xiaobei for time, until his reservoir of Spiritual Stones was depleted. Then, finally, Chen Xiaobei had no choice but to die in Wei Zhonglie's hands!

Wei Zhonglie believed that this was how he was going to win. He was certain that victory was his to uphold.

Suddenly, when the Chaos Blood Sword was about 2 meters from Wei Zhonglie, Chen Xiaobei suddenly shouted, "Up! Against! The! Heaven!"

"Huh? Those words again?" Ying Zheng remembered that Chen Xiaobei had mentioned those three words before he had drawn out out his sword.

What does that mean? Ying Zheng was intrigued!

"Hmph! How is a man about to die be able to go Up Against the Heavens?" Wei Zhonglie sneered.

Zing!

The purple dragon fins on Chen Xiaobei's back suddenly exploded with a massive burst of energy, spitting out purple and gold flames like glorified fireworks.

The flames had Chen Xiaobei charging forward with his sword in front of him. With this massive boost of energy, his speed and strength were intensified.

If it was measured in combat power, this additional thrust had at the very least, given the Chaos Blood Sword an additional one million combat power!

That's right! One million combat power!

"My god… This… How is this possible…. Am I imagining things…"

Both Ying Zheng and Wei Zhonglie screamed in unison; daring not to believe their own eyes.

0.01 seconds ago, the Chaos Blood sword was about the same as the Flaming Tiger Divine Saber in terms of strength. The fight would definitely result in a draw.

Who would have dared imagine that 0.01 seconds after that, Chen Xiaobei actually gave the Chaos Blood sword a boost of one million combat power!

This was unbelievable! Illogical! Completely irrational!

When Chen Xiaobei took in the 1 million Spiritual Stones, it was only enough to activate the Chaos Blood sword. It could not possibly have had any excess energy!

Both Ying Zheng and Wei Zhonglie could not wrap their minds around it. What in the world was happening?

Did this extra 1 million combat power just fall from heaven?

They were both in too much of a shock that their eyes were completely fixated on the sword.

If they just recaledl what had happened a while ago, they would be able to figure out the source of this 1 million combat power!

With Dragon Nine Transformation!

The fifth transformation!

Swallow All Four Seas!

Chen Xiaobei had swallowed a fifth of Earth-God Blade Qi.

That energy did not just disappear!

With Dragon Nine Transformation!

The sixth transformation!

Up Against the Heaven!

Chen Xiaobei unleashed the energy he swallowed, and used the enemy's combat power to give himself a boost.

This move was used as a counterattack against extremely powerful enemies, that was why it was called Up Against the Heaven!

When Chen Xiaobei announced that he was not going to use another Spiritual Stone, it was because he had already decided to use this move!

Wei Zhonglie himself had 1.4 million combat power, but because of the Blood God's Deity-Killing painting, Wei Zhonglie's Ethereal Force, once released, would melt and evaporate like ice on fire!

That was why Wei Zhonglie had not employed his own Ethereal Force.

In fact, Chen Xiaobei only unleashed Up Against the Heaven's strength at the very last second so Wei Zhonglie could not have the time to react!

0.01 seconds flashed past in a blink of an eye!

Clang!

With a loud, piercing twang, the Chaos Blood Sword and the Flaming Tiger Divine Saber collided.

Both were one-star Earth-God instruments but the Chaos Blood Sword had received an external boost.

The scales of the battle was tipped.

As the Chaos Blood Sword swung down, the Flaming Tiger Divine Saber was subdued, and had lost all its strength to fight back.

"No… This is impossible… I had the upper hand… How could I lose…" Wei Zhonglie's face was a ghastly while, his pupils shriveled, and a sharp pain shooting up both his arms. His bones and body were badly damaged, and would be completely destroyed in the next second!

At this very critical moment, Wie Zhonglie withdrew his right arm, leaving only his left arm holding the saber.
