I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 677 677: Chu Feng Repels the Divine Emperor, Ji Jiuwu Unifies Central Continent and Stabilizes the Four Seas
Previously on I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors?...
"Spare... spare my life!"
The Twin Tiger Divine King pleaded for mercy first. In the vicinity, the Nine-Headed Divine King, witnessing the scene, quickly chimed in: "Spare me, spare me, fellow Daoist. I promise I won't set foot on this Hongyuan Continent ever again."
"Begging now is pointless—Extreme Dao Divine Fist!"
Cao Youqian roared fiercely, launching his fists together straight at the Twin Tiger Divine King's skull, smashing it apart in a flash, shredding his divine soul, and yanking out his divine core all at once without pause.
Simultaneously, the blade gripped by Xiao Chen came slicing down. As the Nine-Headed Divine King eyed the incoming divine sword, he desperately cried out: "Ancestor, save me!"
Coldly, Xiao Chen replied: "No one can save you now."
With those words, his sword plunged downward. The sword beam's path caused the Nine-Headed Divine King's nine heads to tumble to the earth, while nine divine souls scattered in various directions.
Of course, Xiao Chen denied the foe any escape. A quick slash sent sword qi shooting forth, which split into nine beams chasing straight after those nine divine souls.
"Stop!"
An ancient, commanding voice echoed from the emptiness, originating far off.
Despite its distance of thousands of miles, the sound alone stirred terror in the heart. Even a genius like Xiao Chen felt his Dao heart waver briefly from the echo, yet he pressed on undeterred.
Boom!!!
With a deafening blast, the Nine-Headed Divine King met total obliteration—body and soul eradicated.
"How dare you!"
Outrage and shame filled the voice from the void at once. It never imagined anyone would challenge its authority so brazenly.
"You mere youngsters dare harm my grandson. I will crush you today!"
Even before the declaration ended, a radiant portal shimmered in the void, and a True God totem emerged high above.
This was a nine-headed bird totem wreathed entirely in blazing fire.
Though only a totem, its released divine power shook the whole Hongyuan Continent.
Facing this True God totem, Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian both furrowed their brows. The overwhelming divine pressure seeped into their Dao hearts, threatening to snuff them out entirely.
They refused to await doom idly!!!
The identical idea crossed their minds, prompting them to unite against the True God totem ahead.
Suddenly, a well-known voice interrupted: "Fellow Daoist, this clash is just among the young ones—why lose your temper? If you're displeased, I, this Divine Emperor, will duel you personally."
The moment this voice sounded, excitement erupted among Wendao Sect's disciples.
"Master is back!"
"Daddy's here!"
"..."
The group scanned eagerly for Chu Feng but spotted no sign of him.
Relieved grins spread across Cao Youqian and Xiao Chen's faces. Their master had returned, elevated to Divine Emperor status too.
The True God totem overheard and scanned for the speaker's origin, finding none. It challenged: "Quit the illusions. If you're capable, demonstrate your power."
"Very well."
Chu Feng's words barely faded when a True God totem wielding a lengthy sword appeared in the void. Before any retort, another totem clutching a scroll and flask materialized. Quickly, nine True God totems arose, encircling the fiery nine-headed bird totem amid them.
Smiling, he inquired: "Does this satisfy you, fellow Daoist?"
"Yes, yes. This Divine Emperor concedes this round. I'll withdraw now." The totem replied promptly.
"Hold on."
Chu Feng halted the retreat.
"What more do you require, fellow Daoist?"
The True God totem quivered as it asked. It hadn't foreseen this fledgling continent defended by an elite with nine True God totems. It possessed just three— a battle would endanger its existence.
Grinning, Chu Feng declared: "Henceforth, Hongyuan Continent belongs to me. Your kind must not meddle freely. Violate this, and I'll rip through space to confront you, showing my true power unleashed."
Gasp...
Far away in another void, atop a demon-ruled continent, a demon Divine Emperor drew a sharp breath. This formidable entity hadn't even revealed full might. Hastily, it agreed: "Agreed, we won't trespass Your Excellency's domain again."
Satisfied with the reply, Chu Feng recalled his nine True God totems. Since the foe hadn't manifested bodily, combat was unnecessary. As his totems vanished, the nine-headed bird totem also vanished into the void.
Cao Youqian and Xiao Chen shared a look, then headed back to Wendao Sect side by side.
With the fierce conflict resolved, Chu Feng stepped out from his courtyard leisurely. Emerging, he faced a throng of disciples. The two Chu sisters dashed up first, embracing their father tightly: "Daddy, you're finally back."
The remaining disciples all saluted Chu Feng deferentially: "We pay respects to Master."
"Rise, no need for such rites."
Chu Feng smiled while gently squeezing his daughters' shoulders.
Before long, Chu Feng gathered his disciples into his secluded courtyard for casual talk, hearing their tales of recent years' events.
At last, Chu Feng's eyes settled on Ji Jiuwu, and smiling, he said: "Jiuwu, your Dao accumulation nears 999 but falls slightly short. Embrace this major conflict, and your Dao heart will solidify while ideas flow freely."
Ji Jiuwu dropped to his knees instantly: "Gratitude for Master's wisdom. I will command the forces to eradicate the demon race."
"Mmm."
Chu Feng nodded approvingly, casting a pointed glance at Cao Youqian and Xiao Chen. They caught the hint and resolved to shield their Junior Brother Ji once more.
On the following day, Ji Jiuwu rallied Wendao Sect's disciples for a westward advance. Lacking the four mighty Divine Kings' defense, the demon hordes crumbled swiftly and were quelled by Ji Jiuwu's leadership in under a month.
Having subdued the demon multitude, clarity flooded Ji Jiuwu's mind without hindrance, perfecting his Dao accumulation on the spot. He chose to advance immediately, allowing surviving demons to behold his awe-inspiring presence.
Throughout, Chu Feng observed his disciple's progress closely. As moments ticked by, Ji Jiuwu's emanating aura shifted steadily.
After eighty-one days, Ji Jiuwu ascended to Divine King, forming his divine core. His divine might swept across the full Central Continent. Innumerable creatures there felt this known yet fearsome power and prostrated repeatedly toward his position.
He broadcast via divine sense: "I, Ji Jiuwu, now stand as humanity's Divine King. The Central Continent will revere our human race henceforth. Defiers will face instant suppression!"
Hearing this, every being in the Central Continent bowed over and over toward Ji Jiuwu, declaring solemnly: "We humbly follow the Divine King's decree!"
In that instant, destiny's glow bathed Ji Jiuwu, and the destiny light over Wendao Sect shone ever brighter...
