Chapter 2177: Chapter 726: Stepping Into the Eternal Together

"That brat!"

Ziwei Star Lord watched Chu Xisheng’s receding figure, his gaze cold and sharp, filled with Kill Intent, yet also somewhat helpless.

"Utterly rampant and presumptuous!"

He then noticed that his brother, Gouchen Star Monarch, was also looking toward the south, his brows tightly furrowed, doubt showing in his eyes.

Ziwei Star Lord’s heart stirred: "Second Brother, are you wondering what Chu Xisheng’s purpose is in this northern assault on Buzhou Mountain?"

"Indeed!"

Gouchen Star Monarch nodded slightly: "This boy’s arrogance is blazing, yet he is not one who acts without aim. He comes to Buzhou Mountain—could it be only to humiliate us?"

For some reason, his heart had been ill at ease all along.

Gouchen kept feeling that that brat was scheming for something else.

Besides, there was also Tianchan——

"It is not impossible. The six of us joined hands, yet on Buzhou Mountain we were routed by him alone. Once this matter spreads, the Divine Continent will surely see spirits lifted, which will help him maintain morale among the Human Clan. As for our side, whether in the Mortal World or the Star Sky, it will stir up a mighty storm."

Wenqu Star Lord descended beside them: "And there is Lord Tianchan—it is very strange. Chu Xisheng did not kill him, but directly captured him. I cannot figure out what his aim is."

"I do know a bit of the reason."

Star Lord Heavenly Stove also landed afterward: "As far as I know, the Daluo Ant Clan may not have been exterminated in ancient days. In the battle at the Creation Divine Tree, their backup Ant Queen escaped under Shen Bore’s cover, and now serves under Chu Xisheng’s banner, and has most likely borne offspring."

Star Lord Heavenly Stove swept his gaze around at everyone present: "This offspring of hers has inherited all the Essence and power quintessence of the Daluo Ant Clan, all memory imprints regarding Heavenly Rules Power. From birth it may possess power of Upper Eternal Rank, and its upper limit is extremely high—it must not be taken lightly."

Star Lord Greedy Wolf, hearing this, could not help but knot his thick brows, thinking to himself what kind of mess is this?

Wasn’t the Daluo Ant Clan the mortal enemy of the Human Clan and Chu Xisheng? Why would their descendants serve under Chu Xisheng’s banner?

Shen Bore must be an idiot, right? He helped the backup Ant Queen escape, only to turn around and gift her to Chu Xisheng? What kind of logic is that?

Yet his gaze soon grew grave: "Simulating Heaven and Dai Tian Technique? If that is the case, it’s troublesome."

Simulating Heaven and Dai Tian Technique were the most fundamental dharma gate of the Daluo Ant Clan.

The former was still tolerable; the Daluo Ant Clan did not even count as the Third True Spirit.

Yet the True Spirit and Saint ranks of Dai Tian Technique had always been in the hands of the Daluo Divine Ant lineage.

He turned his head to look at Wenqu Star Lord: "Who currently holds the Saint rank of Dai Tian Technique?"

Dai Tian Technique lies between the third and fourth layers of Heavenly Dao; among the Three Thousand Dao Steles it is not conspicuous, and usually few pay attention to it.

Wenqu Star Lord focused his Divine Sense; after a moment, his expression also grew cold and solemn: "Nameless."

This Nameless very likely was that already-born Ant Prince.

"If so, we cannot fail to take precautions."

Ziwei Star Lord fell into contemplation: "It seems that brat intends to have the Ant Prince replace Chantian Star Lord."

Thinking of Chantian Star Lord’s abilities, he could not help feeling his scalp crawl.

The Six-winged Golden Cicada was not only Unrivaled in offense and slaughter, it was also an extremely terrifying assassin under Heaven and Earth.

Though its power was far less dreadful than that of the Three Generation of Saint Emperor, its Escape Skill was Unrivaled; at the extreme it could surpass flowing light, and it possessed terrifying Armor-Piercing ability, almost ignoring any defense. If one strike failed, it could flee ten thousand miles away—no one could catch it.

In ancient times his Father God had paid tremendous effort and tremendous price to subdue this Divine Insect.

Needless to say, once the Ant Prince devoured and replaced it, he could still wield part of its inherent abilities.

A single Three Generation of Saint Emperor was enough to keep the Star Sky Gods constantly on alert and guarded, full of dread.

One must know that the reason All Gods were so wary of a decisive battle against the Human Gods was precisely for fear of the Third Generation Saint Emperor’s retaliation.

After all, he had already become Pangu Dominator! In an extreme metamorphosis, his power could enter Creation for a short time.

If they could not kill him on the frontal battlefield, then afterward he would only need to use methods of stealth and assassination, and the Star Sky Gods would be left dying and maimed.

If you added a Six-winged Golden Cicada on top of that, would it not make everyone even more on edge?

Listening up to this point, Gouchen on one hand was deeply worried, on the other hand still felt something was off.

That brat—was he truly here only for Chantian Star Lord?

"This matter must not be taken lightly. I must trouble Star Lord Heavenly Stove to keep watch over it. If there is any definite information, it must be communicated to All Gods."

Ziwei Star Lord’s expression regained composure, yet inside his sleeve he clenched his fist.

He spoke earnestly: "Second Brother, you need not brood over this battle. Today, if it had been anyone under the Ancestor Gods, there would have been no difference in the outcome. Besides, the Human Clan has a saying: ’If one cannot endure the small, one will disrupt the grand scheme.’ This saying holds much truth. Right now we must patiently await the proper timing. I assure you, this boy will not be rampant for long."

Gouchen Star Monarch’s face was livid; he remained silent.

He knew what She Yuan and Ziwei were waiting for.

They indeed had to wait.

Either wait until Chu Xisheng’s Dragon Energy waned and collapsed, or wait for definite information from Shen Bore.

After Shen Bore’s Death, many matters regarding the Chaos Gods had recently been exposed.

Under the cover of Shen Bore’s Deceiving Heaven Technique, the power of the Chaos Gods had already grown and recovered to the point where each of the Ancestor Gods felt as though with a thorn in their back.

Especially the movements of that Initial Heavenly Emperor were unsettling.

Father God, toward that already-dead Lord of Deceit, not only had failed to drop his guard, but instead had grown even more fearful.
