King of Creation Chapter 2000 - 1985: The Tide Has Turned—Only Forward, No Retreat

Chapter 1985 The Situation Is Set, Only Advance, No Retreat

No one, whether it was the trusted subordinates of Black Cloud Great Saint, or Tu Che, Stone Monkey Saint, Green-eyed Great Saint, Blood Shadow Great Saint and their group, had expected such a turn of events.

Black Cloud Great Saint was actually going to storm the Black Tiger King Palace; the twist in this matter came far too suddenly.

However, Black Cloud Great Saint’s explanation left all the Dao Realm experts present deeply uneasy.

The Black Tiger King is gravely ill!

Purple Whisker Great Saint is holding the Black Tiger King hostage!

And the Black Tiger King originally intended to pass the throne to Black Cloud Great Saint!

The information contained in this was far too much, far too complicated.

But the key point was, everyone of the Black Tiger bloodline knew that the Black Tiger King was indeed near the end of his life span, and that he was now seriously ill and weak; this was entirely plausible.

With this as the basis, the Great Saints and Dao Realm experts standing behind Black Cloud Great Saint all had a million thoughts racing through their minds.

Although their wisdom was limited, having lived for several thousand, even ten thousand years, their experience was by no means poor.

Black Cloud Great Saint’s declaration of war at this moment meant that the Black Tiger bloodline had begun to choose sides.

Should they stand behind Purple Whisker Great Saint, or behind Black Cloud Great Saint?

This was the question!

A decision that could influence the fate of the rest of their lives!

A question that couldn’t possibly be decided in an instant!

But the situation didn’t give them even a single extra breath to think!

Because almost at the very instant when Black Cloud Great Saint roared and charged, Black Cloud Great Saint’s trusted subordinate Hur Mo let out a sky-piercing roar.

"All under Hei Yun, kill with me!"

The blood-bright blade light, like a startling rainbow, slashed toward the few trusted aides who had just moved to block the palace gate.

Hur Mo was the foremost strategist under Black Cloud Great Saint; his mind was absolutely not inferior.

The decision he made was, in fact, the wisest.

As Black Cloud Great Saint’s trusted aide, the fate of Hur Mo and the others was bound together with Black Cloud Great Saint’s.

If Black Cloud Great Saint succeeded, they would be enfeoffed as marquises and generals; if Black Cloud Great Saint failed, they would be wiped out by the Black Tiger King or Purple Whisker Great Saint, or have their Divine Souls sealed and turned into slaves!

At the instant Black Cloud Great Saint roared to break into the palace, as his trusted aides, their fate was already sealed.

There were only these two outcomes.

Success, and they would enjoy glory and wealth.

Failure, and they would die without a burial place!

Precisely because he saw this so clearly, strategist Hur Mo drew his blade and attacked the Black Tiger King Palace at the very first moment.

Black Cloud Great Saint had already taken a stance; they actually no longer had any choice!

As a banner of the Black Cloud Great Saint faction, with Hur Mo making his move, the other dozen-odd trusted aides of Black Cloud Great Saint immediately roared one after another and joined Hur Mo in attacking.

At this point, they no longer had any choice; even if they were unwilling or even terrified, they could only move together with Hur Mo.

The label of Black Cloud Great Saint on their bodies could not be removed!

And right at this moment, a Divine Soul Wave as gentle as a breeze and a fine drizzle, like a silent, nourishing rain, instantly swept across the tens of thousands of Black Cloud Personal Guards brought by Black Cloud Great Saint.

Ling Qianbi, who had been put under Illusion Technique by Achou, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit using the Mirage Energy of the Ancient Mirage Dragon, at this instant pushed his All Living Beings Hundred Illusion Divine Ability to the extreme.

What was especially important was that this time, the target of Ling Qianbi’s All Living Beings Hundred Illusion Divine Ability was merely to guide them, or to pour fuel on the fire.

Those tens of thousands of Black Cloud Personal Guards were already somewhat at a loss because of Black Cloud Great Saint’s command, and the charge of Hur Mo and the other Dao Realm experts only made them even more nervous while itching to move.

Ling Qianbi’s All Living Beings Hundred Illusion Divine Ability, rolling past like a gentle breeze and fine rain at this moment, was like a gale sweeping over a raging fire, silently fanning the flames.

At the same instant, the dozen Martial Artists with hazy faces who had silently slipped into the ranks of Black Cloud Great Saint’s Personal Guards suddenly let dazzling light flare on their weapons!

"Kill, lay down your lives for the Great Saint!"

"Charge, the time has come to serve the Great Saint!"

Amid the boiling shouts to kill, the more than thirty thousand Black Cloud Personal Guards of Black Cloud Great Saint were like a powder keg ignited, and moved!

They surged like a tide toward the Black Tiger King Palace, whose gates had already been reduced to ruins.

The Great Saints under the Black Tiger King who had come to help were dumbfounded, and then furious!

In the Jianghu, the most taboo thing was to be a fence-sitter!

But within this brief instant, asking them to make such a crucial decision was truly too difficult.

A portion of the Great Saints of the Black Tiger bloodline, swept along by other Dao Realm experts, let out low shouts and charged toward the Black Tiger King Palace.

Another portion of the more clear-headed Great Saints of the Black Tiger bloodline each acted as if their brows were on fire, hastily withdrawing from the ranks attacking the Tiger King Palace.

But the situation was already set!

The dozen or so Dao Realm experts under various Black Cloud Great Saints who had originally been blocking Ye Zhen hundreds of miles away, the moment they saw Hur Mo leading the charge toward the Black Tiger King Palace, all simultaneously abandoned the encirclement and roared as they charged toward the Black Tiger King Palace.

Almost at the same instant, Black Cloud Great Saint, feeling himself wrapped in a layer of indescribable, unfathomable aura, instantly pushed his Primordial Spirit to the extreme.

In just a single instant, the Primordial Spirit Power that erupted tore apart that vague, indistinct membrane.

Then, Black Cloud Great Saint was dumbfounded.

He heard the echo of the roar he had just let out lingering in the sky; that voice was far too similar to his own.

He watched Hur Mo and the other Dao Realm experts charging toward the Black Tiger King Palace, and the tens of thousands of Black Cloud Personal Guards rushing over there, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back!

Great Saint Black Cloud understood that he had been played!

He did covet the Black Tiger King’s throne, but he absolutely did not dare kill his way into the Tiger King Palace to seize it; he knew all too well just how terrifying his father really was!

Almost by instinct, Great Saint Black Cloud’s figure flickered as he was about to rush over to block Hur Mo and the group of trusted aides charging toward the Black Tiger King Palace.

But in the instant his body moved, a trace of bitter laughter appeared at the corner of Great Saint Black Cloud’s mouth!

Did he still have a chance to turn back?

The gates of the Black Tiger King Palace had been destroyed, and his trusted strategist-general, all the Dao Realm subordinates under his banner, and the Black Cloud Personal Guard he relied on the most had all charged toward the Black Tiger King Palace.

If he were to desperately stop Hur Mo and the others at this moment?

Would his father believe him?

Would he believe that he had been framed?

With what he, as a son, knew of the Black Tiger King, the Black Tiger King might say he believed him, but in his heart, he would absolutely...

Even if he did nothing to this son of his, these trusted followers under his command would be purged in no time.

Once these trusted forces under his hand were cleansed away, would Great Saint Black Cloud still have any chance of seizing the throne?

No!

Not the slightest bit!

Within the entire Tiger Clan, strength was revered above all!

An heir with no loyal power base had absolutely no chance of ascending to the throne.

In other words, at this moment Great Saint Black Cloud already had no way out.

The die was cast; he could only advance, not retreat!

"Who is it, which damned heaven-cursed bastard has screwed this Saint over so miserably!" This was Great Saint Black Cloud’s howl from the depths of his heart, but these words he could only roar inwardly.

At the side, the Fox Clan’s Supreme Third Elder Tu Che’s eyes had already narrowed into slits.

By now, Tu Che already understood that they had been drawn into someone’s scheme and dragged into a tremendous killing game.

Tu Che felt a bit of regret; from the very start he had sensed something was off, yet he hadn’t thought it through. In the end, he had underestimated it.

Just as Tu Che was about to make a decision, another bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder dropped straight from the thunder eye in the whirling black clouds in the void above, striking toward the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder moved at extreme speed, and the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits was such a massive lump of flesh.

In an instant he was struck head-on by the Thunder Light.

However, as a Late Dao Realm existence, this bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder still could not injure the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits.

What truly drove the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits into a frenzy of rage was a sentence of Divine Soul Telecommunication that directly drilled into his mind: "Stupid bears, your granddaddy Ye Zhen is going to flay you alive right here today, what the hell can you do about it?"

Even as the words rang out, another bolt of Thunder Light slashed toward the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits!

Roar!

With an enraged howl, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits slammed his two massive palms onto the ground, then grabbed up two small mountain peaks and hurled them viciously in the direction of the Black Tiger King Palace, from which the voice had come, bellowing in fury!

"Kill them all!"

"All forces to battle! Sound the alarm!"

"Any intruder is to be killed without mercy!" Great Saint Teeth Tiger also roared!

In an instant, brilliant radiance erupted within the Black Tiger King Palace. Squads of well-equipped Black Tiger King trusted aides roared as they charged out from all directions, meeting the attacking Black Cloud Personal Guard. Before the others had even charged over, Great Saint Teeth Tiger had already begun gathering his own trusted aides.

The sound of blades hacking into flesh and the explosive booms of Spiritual Power resounded in the blink of an eye.

Soaring into the sky along with them were countless blood-colored Warning Talismans flying out from the Black Tiger King Palace. Those were the emergency rallying talismans sent by Great Saint Teeth Tiger!

"Hei Yun has colluded with the Alien Race to rebel, men, kill for this Saint!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Today, even if we die, we must protect Father King Zhou!" Great Saint Zi Xu roared loudly. Purple light coiled around his body, like a Heavenly God descending, like a Meteor streaking across the sky, as he led the forty Dao Realm Grand Sages under his command to charge toward the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, who was battering the Black Tiger King Palace like a siege hammer.

During the charge, under the command of Think Tank Hu Feng, a portion of the Dao Realm Grand Sages under Great Saint Zi Xu actively attacked the still-dazed, temporarily non-participating Fox Clan Dao Realm experts, as well as Great Saint Stone Monkey and Great Saint Green-eyed.

The Dao Realm experts of the Monkey Clan were still manageable, but Great Saint Stone Monkey and Great Saint Green-eyed were both hotheads who flared at the slightest provocation.

"Fuck your ancestors, what the hell does this have to do with your grandpas? We only came to capture the thief who stole the Dragon Saliva Peach!"

With curses ringing, Great Saint Stone Monkey and Great Saint Green-eyed burst out with Spirit Light all over their bodies and instantly launched a counterattack.

The Blood-eyed Soul Beast’s shrill screech also sounded in that very instant.

In clashes between Dao Realm experts, if you only take hits without striking back, you suffer terribly.

Likewise, the six Fox Clan Dao Realm experts led by Tu Che suffered a sullen loss when they only took hits and did not return them.

One Fox Clan Dao Realm expert, beaten into coughing blood, wanted to strike back, but was forcibly dragged back by Supreme Third Elder Tu Che!

"Do not join the battle, pull out of the combat zone, think of a way to get out of the combat zone at once!" Tu Che made the wisest decision!

But that was only the thought; once such a melee started, withdrawing was no longer so easy.

In the blink of an eye, the front of the Black Tiger King Palace had turned into a massive battlefield. Explosions, screams, Blood Light, and the dust from shattered mountains and terrain all shot up to the heavens.

Seeing the battlefield already locked in furious combat, heads flying in clusters, Great Saint Black Cloud froze for a moment, then immediately understood that the situation was set; he now had only advance, no retreat!

In the next instant, Great Saint Black Cloud began to howl hysterically.

"Kill!"

"Slay Zi Xu and rescue Father King!"
