Chapter 2180 - 727: The Key (2)

Chapter 2180: Chapter 727: The Key (2)

"It seems you have already forgotten."

The elder’s gaze was peculiar, yet it carried a sense of relief: "I can only tell you that this truth might very well be the true cause of your death. I can’t reveal his name to you, as that would certainly lead to my demise. But you can explore it yourself—"

As he spoke, he embedded the last scale into the black scale armor.

The elder relaxed his expression and tossed the armor toward Shen Zhenru: "The armor is complete! But I advise you to have a real Artifact Refiner refine it so that it can truly become a cohesive whole. That way, its power can be increased by thirty percent.

Although the methods of Engraving Heaven and Carving Heaven are the true origins of Artifact Refining, they are limited in form and not as effective as the genuine Refining Method."

"I understand."

After accepting the scale armor, Shen Zhenru looked at it and then donned it: "As agreed, the remaining parts of this Chaos Primordial Crocodile are yours."

She stood up, expressionless, and regarded the elder condescendingly: "If I’m correct, you’ll next use these materials to leave the Chaos Sea and return to the Mortal World?"

The elder’s heart tightened, yet he remained calm while staring back at Shen Zhenru: "I am Chao Feng!"

He was Chao Feng, the third son among the Nine Dragon Sons!

With the Human Clan rising once more, and the Human Gods about to engage in their third decisive battle, how could Chao Feng, who made an eternal alliance with Long Xi, be absent?

"Then go!"

Shen Zhenru did not react further; instead, she threw a leather pouch to the elder.

"Your strength isn’t suited for combat, so be careful not to lose your life. Also, here’s something from Diwa; return it to her for me, and be extremely careful not to lose it along the way. Tell her I’m sorry, I will return half of her daughter’s True Spirit as soon as possible."

The elder was taken aback upon receiving the pouch.

The pouch was made from the skin of the Chaos Primordial Crocodile, but what truly shocked him was what’s inside the pouch.

——It was Diwa’s Source Quality!

The elder looked at Shen Zhenru: "Your Majesty, aren’t you worried about losing by returning this to her? Repeating the tragedy from twenty-two million years ago? It should be known that the powers on you, except for the fraudulent Source Quality, all were obtained through deceit and are not genuinely yours. Moreover, you’ve already lost the power of Ten Thousand Trust—"

Yet, the elder saw Shen Zhenru leave without hesitation, not looking back.

He couldn’t help but secretly admire, truly worthy as the initial Heavenly Emperor, her broad-mindedness and spirit, unmatched among the Chaos Gods.

※※※※

The anomaly of the Chaotic Power also startled the Gods inside Taiyin Palace.

As Chu Xisheng incarnated as the Great Sun and once again illuminated the Divine Continent. The Nine Phoenix suppressed the unease rising in her heart and looked askance at Emperor Void God She Yuan.

"Emperor Void God, now that Chu Xisheng advances step by step, his power and influence increasing daily. Do you intend to continue idly watching him witness eternity? You should have sensed the changes in the Chaos Heavenly Rules, which will surely signify the onset of the Dusk of the Gods."

Actually, her greatest concern was Si Huangquan within the Netherworld.

Tian Nai Luo’s daughter not only became the Sovereign of the Netherworld but also saw eternity upon controlling the Netherworld, completing the Eternal Secret Ceremony.

The Nine Phoenix felt that the ’Nirvana’ method in this world was abandoning her.

The longer Si Huangquan controlled the Netherworld, the stronger her Death Technique became.

This consequently filled all the Phoenix Clan with fear.

Yin Hou Tian Nai Luo’s curse on her mother and the entire Phoenix Clan was deeply rooted, even spreading to the Upper Eternal Rank.

In recent years, there hasn’t been a new Phoenix born, nor has any member of the Phoenix Clan completed ’Nirvana’, and all Phoenixes’ powers have been diminishing.

If this continues, the Nine Phoenix judged that within three years at most, she might fall from the ’Nirvana’ Saint’s position.

Nearby, Wind God Emperor Shura saw through her true thoughts and laughed sarcastically: "Are you afraid of that Netherworld Gods’ puppet? If you worry that your granddaughter will seize power, you could rally the Phoenix Clan’s strength and attack the Netherworld yourself."

The Nine Phoenix’s hands tightened involuntarily, her gaze towards Wind God Emperor Shura sharp like a knife.

Below, the Vermilion Bird frowned as well.

Her eyebrows have always been furrowed, and now showed even greater concern and dissatisfaction.

"I do believe the Nine Phoenix’s words have merit. This situation is indeed untenable."

After a long silence, Yin God Yue Xi suddenly spoke, glancing around at the others: "I wonder if everyone has sensed what’s happening in the Heavenly Dao Stele Forest?"

The hall they were in instantly plunged into a moment of silence.

How could they not be paying attention to the Heavenly Dao Stele Forest?

The power of chaos was growing, advancing!

Within this brief moment, the Chaos Dao Stele was already nearing the innermost edge of the fifth layer of the Stele Forest.

Meanwhile, changes were occurring to the Vengeance and Ruyi Skills as well.

"Chu Xisheng is already the Creator of the Chaos, Ruyi, and Vengeance Techniques."

Yin God Yue Xi stared at Emperor Void God, continuing: "You saw how strong he was in the recent battle at Buzhou Mountain. That guy hasn’t even used the ’Blood Vengeance Origin Soul’ to reflect everything and can already oppose She Yuan for at least two breaths in the Mortal World.

I can’t imagine what kind of power he’ll possess after entering eternity, perhaps matching Ancestor Gods? He would certainly not be inferior to Burial Sky."

Her eyes held a bit of speculation.

Yin God Yue Xi was very curious about what her brother intended to do.

Was it Creation?

She Yuan had always been deep in thought, acting steadily.

Once he moves, it’s with full assurance.

From the era of Chaos inception, She Yuan has proceeded step by step, his pace steady as rock.

The problem is, as the situation develops, She Yuan’s resistance only grows.

The times no longer allow She Yuan to continue being stable.

"Could Yue Xi have lost her composure?"

Wood God’s Spiritual Might shook his head, seeming unconcerned: "There’s no need to rush now. He is very greedy, quite ambitious, and I don’t know what his Eternal Secret Ceremony is like, but I can confirm it’s impossible to complete in a short time.

And that Lord of Ten Thousand Disasters will only be more anxious than us, so we still have time. Yue Xi, the more pressing the situation, the more we should keep calm. Don’t we already have a planned strategy? Just follow the steps."

His sister simply wanted to hasten the completion of Yin Yang Inversion and completely replace the Great Sun.

Yin God Yue Xi glanced at him.

She didn’t argue, closing her eyes and remaining silent.

Between the Lord of Ten Thousand Disasters and the Human Clan, there’s always been deep-seated hatred.

Now the conflict between both sides escalates further, with no possibility of reconciliation.

Especially recently, Chu Xisheng’s Chaos Skill clearly attacked the Lord of Ten Thousand Disasters’s authority.

Emperor Void God She Yuan’s gaze remained calm, his face as if wrought from everlasting diamond.

Yet his words left the Wood God somewhat embarrassed: "What Yue Xi and Nine Phoenix say has merit. Given the situation, we cannot allow things to unfold without action. I hereby plead with Spirit Power and immediately command Brother Fire God, Thunder God Tianbo, along with Nine Phoenix and Xuanwu Star Lord, to attack the Netherworld and assist Brother Tiangong in controlling the Nether Sea and Nine Springs."

Wood God’s Spiritual Might was initially startled but then overwhelmingly delighted.

His nearly wood-like chest actually pounded vigorously at this moment.

Wood God’s Spiritual Might exerted great effort to calm it down.

The opportunity he had long awaited had finally arrived.

The few present Ancestor Gods couldn’t help looking askance at Emperor Void God She Yuan.

Among them, Golden God White Candle furrowed his brow even further.

She Yuan would actually assist Water God Tiangong in controlling the Nether Sea and Nine Springs?

Could it be that he has made a deal with Tiangong?

"Also, no need to search for Shen Bore’s whereabouts anymore."

Emperor Void God She Yuan raised his hand and suddenly summoned a white radiance from the starry sky.

She Yuan looked at the object in his hand, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Whether he’s dead or alive is of no consequence."

He now held the key to winning the war.

The gods in the hall beheld the object in that white radiance, their expressions solemn.

They recognized it as the ’Heavenly Repairing Stone’ refined in the Hao Tian rite.
