Chapter 1002: The Strong Gather (2/2)
[TL Note: The meaning of Di Qitian is emperor abandoning heaven. Emperor is the family name, so when considering just his given name, Qitian, it is actually the same as his t.i.tle, Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.]
In a split second, the setting sun became blood red. The motes of light that the broken hand turned into looked like a shattered Deities’ Nation. Many angels fell, and countless lifeforms as well, as Deity Race cultivators all died at this moment.
Everyone in the plaza recovered back to normal, panting endlessly, their eyes filled with horror.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was one of the Kunlun Continent’s five strongest experts. Even from billions of kilometers away, he could kill people like squas.h.i.+ng ants.
Xiao Chen looked at the scattering motes of light in the air and entered deep thought. This was the scene that he yearned to see.
He watched it attentively. In the future, his Dusk of Deities would definitely improve further.

In the distant Deity Domain, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign sitting on the divine throne sighed. He had burned the lives of three million believers in the Deity Race’s lower realms for his earlier strike.
This strike was very different from an ordinary attack.
Originally, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign thought he could fool the Thunder Sovereign and kill Xiao Chen. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen had a treasure that could block the Emperor’s Might of a Sovereign Martial Emperor.
“However, even if you have overwhelming Luck, you cannot be conferred King today!”
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign wore his divine robes draped open, looking like he had toiled for long hours. His gaze sank and a will clone formed. This will clone descended on Tianwu City on a Deities’ Nation image.
The reason why the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign sent a will clone was, firstly, time. If he rushed over with his true body, even if he used a s.p.a.ce-time tunnel, he would still need half a day to traverse such a vast distance unless he continued to burn the lives of lower-realm believers.
Secondly, he was cautious. It would be bad for the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign’s true body to descend under the eyes of the Martial G.o.d Palace.
In the skies of Tianwu City, a hazy white light covered the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign’s will clone, not allowing anyone to see his appearance clearly.
“Thunder Sovereign, you are the one that is inciting war, not me. This person absolutely cannot be conferred King!”
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign looked towards the clouds, like he was speaking to that Martial G.o.d Palace in the middle of reality and illusion.
“If you say he cannot be conferred, then he cannot be conferred? Do you really treat me as dying already?” A deep thunderous roar came from the Martial G.o.d Palace. This voice was like thunder, scattering the divine light all around.
“What if you add me?”
A ghostly fog appeared in the sky. Then a gentle-looking, middle-aged-looking man with pale skin and clad in white slowly descended from the sky.
“And me as well!”
A burly man wearing black Battle Armor and holding a huge ax walked over from the horizon.
“East Mountain Ghost Monarch!”
“Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Corpse G.o.d!”
Another two will clones of major characters appeared. This situation was no longer something with which Xiao Chen could interfere. His life and death depended on the will of heaven. Such a feeling was hard to swallow.
Ao Jiao, you do think that I can reach the same level as these people someday?
There is nothing impossible in this world. Your road of being conferred King has only just begun. Someday, you will not only reach these people’s level but even surpa.s.s them and treat them like ants.
The few major characters descended on Tianwu City to discuss Xiao Chen’s fate.
However, Xiao Chen, dressed in azure, stood on the rubble of the platform, looking at the sky with a calm expression.
Ao Jiao was right. His road to being conferred King was not over yet. Instead, this was the beginning.
Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Corpse G.o.d, and East Mountain Ghost Monarch, today, as you speak, you can decide my life or death in a matter of two or three sentences.
Some other day, the day will come when I will be able to decide the life or death of you three with one word. Even if you three are the strongest experts in this realm, you will be no exception!
These three strongest experts worked together to prevent Xiao Chen from being conferred King. They brought the hidden conflicts and their fear of a certain name to the surface.
Although the Thunder Sovereign was strong, a person who lived at the same time as the Azure Emperor ten thousand years ago, his cultivation had already reached the limits of a Sovereign Martial Emperor. He was a Prime, a level that no ordinary cultivator could imagine.
However, the Thunder Sovereign now faced three absolute experts who were also Primes. Furthermore, one of them was the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, a person who tapped the power of faith. It would be hard for there to not be any pressure.
“Haha! Three mighty people fear the Azure Emperor to the point where they make things difficult for a child. Are you really not afraid of the world sneering at you?”
Clear laughter resounded. A pretty and graceful man came from behind the Martial G.o.d Palace. Immediately, all the Fiend Race cultivators recognized who he was.
It was the Spirit Fox King, the strongest expert of the Fiend Domain, one of the Kunlun Continent’s five strongest experts. Likewise, he was a powerful Sovereign Martial Emperor.
This matter was really momentous now. The five strongest experts of the Kunlun Continent all appeared, all for the sake of a single person’s King conferral ceremony.
Without a doubt, the Spirit Fox King’s appearance eased the pressure on the Thunder Sovereign. Now that the two sides were slightly more balanced, neither could do anything to the other.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign frowned. Clearly, he had not expected the Spirit Fox King to appear in the end and turn things around.
“Spirit Fox King, even if you are here, it is useless. No matter what, he cannot be conferred King. I will not permit the appearance of another Azure Emperor.”
The moment the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign spoke, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Corpse G.o.d took a step forward. Based on their att.i.tudes, they clearly wanted to force their way through.
“Humph! In that case, you can give it a try. I do not mind playing to the end before the Demonic Calamity arrives!”
That thunderous, rumbling voice resounded once again. The voice of the Thunder Sovereign shook the sky. Lightning descended and tore s.p.a.ce, creating many extremely terrifying pitch-black tears.
