Chapter 1632: Stay With Me

Buzz...

The domain created by the Clear Sky Mirror, Earthly Sovereign Bell, and Xuanyuan Sword hummed and vibrated as if struck by a powerful object. The Chief Libationist’s own palm crumbled into pieces as if it could not bear the strain.

“You ants dare to disturb my slumber? You deserve

death!

”

Suspended in the sky, King Taishan declared in a dignified voice that echoed throughout the pocket world. The next second, the word “death” written using cessation script appeared above everyone’s head.

The word weaved divine patterns of the Great Way and possessed the true intent of death. It could steal the world of nature and plunder the living of their life force.

“Hmph!” In just an instant, muffled groans escaped the lips of some Sages. The light in their eyes dimmed, and their vigor declined dramatically all of a sudden. It was clear the word had injured their foundation.

“The sages say that one should bear their heart with benevolence! Begone, evil!”

The image of a sage appeared behind the Chief Libationist’s back. It waved its sleeve slightly and summoned a gust of righteous qi that slowly wiped out the deadly word suspended above everyone’s head like a broom sweeping away the snow.

At the same time, the Old Heavenly Master, Dragon Subjugating Zen Master, Long-browed Divine Monk, Princess Royal Furi and more unleashed their respective Magia and attacked King Taishan.

“I am god, and you are ants. How dare you challenge my authority?”

𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

When King Taishan’s eyes scanned around him, it looked as if the sun and the moon were patrolling the sky. The air of Dao around him transformed into boundless, overwhelming divine power that repelled all Magia and secret arts.

The divine power did not cease there. It swept through the entire area and threatened everyone’s mental defense.

“Kneel...”

“Kneel...”

“Kneel...”

Every time King Taishan said the word “kneel”, his divine might would grow a tad stronger. Soon, it felt as if the entire world would drop to their knees before King Taishan.

“Kneel? Who do you think you are?”

However, the Chief Libationist responded with dripping scorn, “We’re not in the ancient times anymore, old man. We humans are no longer preys you can oppress and slaughter as you please. This is our world now, not yours.”

“You are the one who should kneel to us!”

“The audacity!” King Taishan erupted, and his divine power took on a physical form. It felt as vast as the Yellow Spring and as dark as hell itself.

“You think this is audacious? Watch this!”

Behind the Chief Libationist, the image of the Sage grabbed a scroll out of nowhere and brought it down at King Taishan’s direction.

They were dozens of kilometers apart, but time and space wielded no power here. The scroll landed squarely on King Taishan’s forehead.

Smack!

The hit barely elicited a noise. It sounded like a teacher disciplining a naughty child with a harmless smack on the hand.

However, King Taishan’s entire body shook as if he had been struck by a hammer. He visibly wobbled on his feet.

“You won’t kneel, is it? Then I’ll beat you until you do.”

The image of the sage swung its scroll again, and again, and again. No matter how hard King Taishan raged, no matter how much he struggled, he was unable to block or avoid the scroll. Not only that, every time the scroll landed, he would shake all over, and his air of Dao would crumble.

It was because the scroll was not a simple scroll. It was the culmination of the Chief Libationist’s power and more importantly, the medium of human civilization and the evolution of tens of thousands of years of history.

That was why King Taishan could neither dodge or block it.

Finally, King Taishan’s legs buckled, and he fell to his knees.

He knelt before the Chief Libationist; before everyone.

“Ahhhhhh!” King Taishan roared, and his air of Dao took on a physical form. Mount Tai, Bronze Like Tree, Gate of Hell, Yellow Spring, Naihe Bridge, the eighteen hells, and the Six Paths—they all sprung into existence one after another.

At that moment, the entire Fengdu was shaking, the yin wind was howling, the evil ghosts of the eighteen hells escaped their cages, and the Yellow Spring stirred like it was angry. It was as if the apocalypse had visited Fengdu.

Not only that, everyone from the highest Great Emperor of Fengdu and the Six Ghosts and Gods to the lowest ox-head, horse-face and ghost soldiers heard the angry roar. Their very souls trembled when they heard it.

“What’s happening?”

“What’s going on?”

“Oh no. King Taishan is in trouble!”

The ghost soldiers might not know what was going on, but the four Ghosts and Gods figured out the truth immediately.

The next moment, the supreme yin origin power in Fengdu, the powers of every yin creature and ghosts, and even the powers of the Six Ghosts and Gods and the Great Emperor of Fengdu departed their bodies and flooded into the Yellow Spring.

“Quick! We need to help King Taishan now!” The four Ghosts and Gods immediately dashed toward the Yellow Spring despite their weakness.

It was because King Taishan’s roar was imbued with his will. As their powers originated from King Taishan, they found out that their master was being attacked by the Chief Libationist and his allies. They were made aware as to the location of the battle and the fact that their master was in grave danger.

“No, no, you should stay with me!”

It was at this moment the Great Emperor of Fengdu tapped his finger and summoned a number of cages. They trapped Tyrant Extinction, Sect Spirit, Bright Star and Cojoined.

“What are you doing, emperor?” The ghosts and gods glared at the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

“What do you think?” The Great Emperor of Fengdu countered.

“Could it be...” Tyrant Extinction suddenly realized something. “Are you in cahoots with the humans?! You betrayed King Taishan?”

The Great Emperor of Fengdu answered, “Betray? Oh no, I am simply taking back what’s mine.”

“Fengdu, you traitor! I’ll kill you!”

Bright Star was speechless for a moment. Then, he flew into a rage and attacked the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

“You have no idea how weak you are right now.” The Great Emperor of Fengdu bent his finger slightly, and Bright Star flew back like he was struck by a mountain. The next moment, a literal mountain descended from the sky and landed on top of Bright Star, preventing him from moving a muscle.

“You are the Great Emperor of Fengdu, and yet you choose to cooperate with the humans? It is no different from conspiring with the tiger for its hide! You will regret this!”

Tyrant Extinction wore a gloomy expression. Their strength was no match for the Great Emperor of Fengdu’s to begin with, and now most of their power was being drained away by King Taishan. On the other hand, the Great Emperor of Fengdu was not weakened as badly as his power originated from the Earth Yin Origin Lord. Naturally, they were even less of a match for him.

He could only hope to persuade the Great Emperor of Fengdu now. “You must not fall for the humans’ lies, emperor!”

The Great Emperor of Fengdu sneered. “Maybe cooperating with the humans is conspiring with the tiger for its hide, but cooperating with you is far worse, isn’t it? Why should I wait for you to discard me like a tool once you’re done with me or worse, devour me alive?”

Tyrant Extinction hurriedly denied this. “We are all gods of Fengdu. We would never do this!”

“Hahaha! Do you really think I do not know about your plan? Do you really think I do not know about King Taishan’s plan?” The Great Emperor of Fengdu grew even more disdainful. “The day King Taishan awakens is the day I die, isn’t it?”

“Is that why you choose to cooperate with the humans?” Sect Spirit threatened, “Do you understand what is at stake here? If you do this, Fengdu will be destroyed, and you will become the eternal sinner who brought it to its knees! You yourself would be killed by the humans!”

“No, the only ones who will die today are you four and King Taishan. I will not die, and Fengdu will definitely not be destroyed.” The Great Emperor of Fengdu said smilingly, “Not only that, Fengdu will rise once more under my leadership. It will no longer exist like an underground rat that everyone wants a piece of.”

Cojoined said furiously, “Is that the promise the humans give you? Hilarious! No one is more cunning than humans! Do you really think they will keep their promise? They are just using you! They will discard you and kill you after they are done with you!”

“They won’t.”

The Great Emperor of Fengdu declared certainly, “They won’t because they need me, and humanity needs Fengdu.”

“It’s useless. He has already been bewitched by the humans. He won’t turn back even if his fate is written out for him.” Sensing the futility of their words, the four ghosts and gods stopped wasting their breath and attacked the Great Emperor of Fengdu together.

Rumble!

The group clashed mightily against one another.
