King of Creation Chapter 2008 - 1993: Five Thousand Years of Bitter Cold

With his bones and meridians shattered by a furious snort from the Black Tiger King, the Black Cloud Great Sage knelt on the cold ground.

Even though such broken bone injuries, with his robust cultivation and powerful body as a Titled Great Sage, could be completely restored to their original state in less than two breaths by activating his essence blood and spiritual power!

However, the Black Cloud Great Sage dared not!

This was the punishment handed down by his father, the Black Tiger King. If he endured it, it would be fine, but if he dared to recover even a tiny fraction of his injuries, it would anger the Black Tiger King and he could lose the chance of survival tonight!

So, no matter how much his five internal organs and six hollow organs and bones hurt to the core, the Black Cloud Great Sage had to endure it.

Even if he was as limp as a puddle of mud, he still maintained his kneeling posture.

That’s not all, he had to endure the excruciating pain while quickly searching for a possible path to survival tonight.

"Great Sage, are you satisfied with the grand gift I, Ye Zhen, prepared for you?" Suddenly, a voice intruded into the mind of the Black Cloud Great Sage.

"Ye Zhen!"

The only complete part of the Black Cloud Great Sage was his head, and upon hearing this voice, his expression became extremely ferocious, his eyes turned triangular, and fierce rays shot in all directions, attempting to locate the source of the voice.

"Back then, when you tormented Xuan Hu nearly to death and plotted against Hu Qingtong, you should have anticipated this day!

Enjoy the grand gift I prepared for you, and hope that next time we meet, you are still alive!"

"Farewell, no need to see me off, hahahaha..."

Arrogant laughter echoed in the mind of the Black Cloud Great Sage, causing his face to contort to the extreme, with furious blood light surging in his eyes.

If Ye Zhen were in front of the Black Cloud Great Sage at this moment, the Black Cloud Great Sage would have had the heart to devour Ye Zhen alive.

However, no matter how great the anger, the Black Cloud Great Sage could only swallow it.

He had to endure it!

A faint regret emerged in his heart, had he known that Hu Qingtong could not be grasped, and that it would draw such a terrifying enemy, causing himself to be in such a desolate situation...

He wouldn’t have acted so...

Almost at the same time, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten carried Ye Zhen, its flesh wings flashing with azure light, and rippled through the void, instantly covering a thousand miles.

And in the kitten’s mouth, it still held a large leg of a Tiger Clan Dao Realm expert, chewing hard, with sparks flying with each bite!

...

Above the Tiger King Palace, the Black Tiger King, dressed in dark clothes and a jade crown, traversed the void, staring coldly at the kneeling masters of the Black Tiger Bloodline below.

The icy gaze made those Tiger Clan members who followed the Black Cloud Great Sage in rebellion tremble within, sweat pouring down.

Finally, the gaze of the Black Tiger King fell on the Fox Clan Supreme Elder Tu Che, who was floating on one side of the battlefield.

"Tu Shengji, I want to know, what role did you play being here today, or was it my foolish son under your influence?"

Almost the instant the words sounded, an indescribable chill locked onto Tu Che, with countless dark streams in the void looming around Tu Che like a Demon God, baring claws and fangs.

"Your Highness Black Tiger King, the old man was merely pursuing several key criminals of my clan, and coincidentally got embroiled in this upheaval upon reaching White Tiger City."

"As for influencing the Black Cloud Great Sage?" Tu Che’s mouth curled into a cold smile, "If the old man really wanted to influence the Black Cloud Great Sage and elevate him?

I’m afraid the Black Tiger King Palace would have already been flattened!"

"The forces I can mobilize are far more than these ragtag individuals before you!"

"You!"

The Black Tiger King’s face sank, his eyes emitting a profound light stretching hundreds of feet, freezing the air in its path.

Yet Tu Che’s gaze met it fearlessly, boldly staring down the icy glare of the Black Tiger King, unwavering.

Ultimately, it was the Black Tiger King who snorted coldly and moved his gaze away actively.

The reason was simple, for what Tu Che said was the truth.

If this were truly Tu Che’s scheme, then not only could Tu Che mobilize the forces of the Red Tiger King’s lineage, but also that of the Earth Tiger King’s lineage.

Without him, the Black Tiger King, presiding, flattening the Black Tiger Palace and slaughtering Zi Xu was indeed not an issue.

Thus, the Black Tiger King ultimately spared Tu Che, not only for the Fox Clan behind Tu Che but also for the forces behind Tu Che’s Red Tiger King lineage.

The name of the Think Tank of the past was not without reason.

The gaze of the Black Tiger King suddenly fell upon the Stone Monkey Saint and the gravely injured Green-eyed Great Saint, breaking into a sinister smile.

"Seems the Black Tiger Bloodline is easy to bully, not only does the Immortal Bear King’s troops dare to attack the Tiger King Palace, but even the Ancient Monkey’s minions dare to intrude on this king’s Tiger King Palace, perhaps this king should return two heads to the Ancient Monkey!"

In an instant, unparalleled killing aura erupted, boundless dark azure light and aqueous colors surged towards the Stone Monkey Saint and the Green-eyed Great Saint, riding the night sky.

The Green-eyed Great Saint, whose treasured Blood-eyed Soul Beast had been slain, was about to retaliate upon sight, but was forcibly held back by the Stone Monkey Saint, who earnestly bowed to the Black Tiger King.

"Your Majesty, please discern!"

"Your Majesty, discern please!" The Stone Monkey Saint raised a wooden cyan four-direction talisman in his hand, "We are here by the command of the Eastern Azure Dragon Emperor and our Monkey King to capture the thief who stole the Dragon Saliva Peach."

Upon hearing the words "Dragon Saliva Peach," the Black Tiger King’s face displayed an inexplicable and peculiar expression, and the boundless mysterious glow of water paused slightly for a moment.

One could not blame the Black Tiger King for his peculiar expression, because just before, the Black Tiger King had fully refined four Dragon Saliva Peaches, extending his life by four thousand years. If it weren’t for the destruction of the Black Tiger King Palace, he would have certainly refined the remaining four Dragon Saliva Peaches before appearing.

But now, the people pursuing the thief of the Dragon Saliva Peaches had arrived, and the peaches had been consumed by himself. The situation was as strange as it could be.

Suddenly, the Black Tiger King’s desire to kill the person he had traded with, Ye Zhen, multiplied ten thousand fold.

If that Ye Zhen were caught and revealed the news that he sold the Dragon Saliva Peaches, then the Black Tiger King would be in considerable trouble.

Not only would he have to face the wrath of the Eastern Azure Dragon Emperor and the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King, but also the more severe suppression from the White Tiger Demon Emperor.

"Did they come to chase the thief who stole the Dragon Saliva Peaches? How did they end up in this King’s Tiger King Palace? Could it be that the thief is hiding in this King’s Tiger King Palace?" Amidst a cold snort, the Black Tiger King’s killing intent grew stronger.

"No, no!"

The Stone Monkey Saint hurriedly denied, "It was the Black Cloud Great Sage who said that the Black Tiger King might be held hostage by the Purple Whisker Great Saint, and asked us to breach the palace and rescue him! After rescuing him, he promised to fully assist us in capturing the thief, which is why we helped!"

From a distance, the Black Cloud Great Sage, who had turned into a puddle of mud, cast a grateful glance at the Stone Monkey Saint. With the Stone Monkey Saint’s words, although the Black Tiger King didn’t believe it, at least on the surface, his actions tonight had been justified.

"This King, held hostage?"

The Black Tiger King sneered playfully, looking at the Purple Whisker Great Saint.

The Purple Whisker Great Saint hurriedly cupped his hands toward the Black Tiger King, "Father King, it is a mere illusion. As soon as I saw the Third Brother leading an attack on the Tiger King Palace, I quickly brought people to protect you!"

"Very good!"

He praised verbally, but his face showed no sign of a smile.

The Black Tiger King was an old and cunning fellow, as clear-hearted about the events of the night as if he were holding a mirror.

He knew very well, his third son, Hei Yun, was most likely set up by someone.

Otherwise, even given ten guts, he wouldn’t dare launch an attack on the Tiger King Palace.

Of course, the open and covert struggles between brothers couldn’t be predicted.

But the visible result was that Hei Yun lost.

Victory and defeat is the most brutal law within the Tiger Clan.

"Hei Yun harbored ill intentions, and is to be dispatched to guard the West Ridge Snow Pass for five thousand years!" The Black Tiger King issued the first disciplinary order.

Upon hearing this order, a weight finally lifted off the heart of the Black Cloud Great Sage.

At least his life was spared.

Although being dispatched to the bitter and cold land of the Snow Pass for five thousand years basically left him with no hope for the throne, as long as one is alive, there is hope.

The Purple Whisker Great Saint, with lowered brows and eyes, showed no emotion, but in his heart, he let out a silent sigh.

Others might not know the situation, thinking the Black Cloud Great Sage had completely lost his qualifications to compete for the throne, but he knew that the Black Tiger King had just extended his life by eight thousand years.

And with a dispatch of only five thousand years, it meant the Black Cloud Great Sage still had hope.

The Black Tiger King had not completely lost faith in the Black Cloud Great Sage.

However, being able to exiled the Black Cloud Great Sage for five thousand years was enough.

After five thousand years of long-term management, he refused to believe that by then, the Black Cloud Great Sage would have anything to compete with him.

"Hur Mo failed to dissuade, a disgrace to his position, is to be executed!"

As the word ’death’ burst from the Black Tiger King’s lips, he merely waved his hand lightly, countless mysterious rays of water swept over the first strategist and confidant of the Black Cloud Great Sage.

The next moment, the divine light in Hur Mo’s eyes vanished, his body disintegrated into ash, leaving no trace of life.

An indescribable pain flashed through the heart of the Black Cloud Great Sage, Hur Mo, that was the most loyal and strongest retainer given to him by his mother!

"All other rebels are to be demoted to Sin Slaves, and handed to Zi Xu’er for disposal."

"Blood Shadow, administer three thousand lashes yourself!"

The Black Tiger King’s final words caused the previously anxious Blood Shadow Great Saint to relax, suddenly kneeling and knocking his head heavily on the ground before the Black Tiger King, gasping for breath with his whole body.

At the same time, countless sighs echoed from all around where the spectators had been watching.

"Ah, the Black Tiger emerged too early, an exciting battle ended prematurely!"

"Too bad, the damage isn’t enough to shake the Black Tiger to his core!"

"An internal strife, with over ten Dao Realm experts fallen, thousands of Demon Commanders, and tens of thousands of Demon Generals, in any case, it means the Black Tiger took a hard hit..."

....

At the exact same moment, watching the Black Tiger King finish dealing with all the rebels, the Fox Clan Supreme Elder, Tu Che, cast his gaze, seemingly unintentionally, towards the northeast.

That direction was precisely where Ye Zhen and his group had fled!
