Chapter 474 - Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide (1/2)

Kua Fuding, Chi Qing, Xuan Zhen, Xuan Pin and the other Kun lun experts turned pallid, and their hearts became engulfed in despair, even more than a few moments ago when they slipped right through death's grip from the divine decrees and the saint spirit burst out !

Who would foresee that the A'thoer demon gods would appear midway and intercept them here?

The celestials and demons were never on good terms; there would always be only one survivor if the two were to come across one another anywhere else. More so when they were all the most prominent experts of the Kun Lun junior cultivators, there was simply no way for them to escape from the hands of the demon gods!

In fact, death might just be a better option if they were to encounter the demon gods. What's more terrifying than that was to get their rights to die stripped away from them. That they would be captured by the demon gods and face egregious torture by the demons for the rest of their lives!

Once there was a rumor that a celestial god was captured by a demon god and was made into a lampwick. He was been lit for a total of 10,000 years, suffering day and night before finally dying. Such pain was definitely something no one would ever be able to bear.

In turn, death seemed to be the far more attractive alternative.

Kua Fuding, Shang Qing and the others were just downcast; things had not gone well for them since entering the Returning Ruins. They were chased by bizarre creatures in the Returning Ruins, completely wiped away by Zhong Yue, then nearly died in the hands of the divine decrees and saint spirits. While just right after they were saved from the fingers of death, they were then again faced squarely with death as the demon gods had intercepted their teleportation course!

They could definitely be considered as the most unfortunate batch of Qi Practitioners in this world now!

While in turn, the demon Qi Practitioners such as Su Domi and Yu Hui were all overjoyed. Especially the likes of Yu Hui and Que Yan'er who were bullied by Zhong Yue before were all looking at him with sadistic joy. They were most probably thinking of what they should do to Zhong Yue once he was captured.

The demon god's huge hand reached out to them and grabbed them all in his fist. Suddenly, a bright ray of white light flashed across the sky, leaving a beautiful arc of light behind it. And as it flew closer to them, it grew larger from the size of a candle light to a huge jade plate in their eyes.

The jade plate was then already tens of miles long in radius when it reached the front of the demon god's hand and struck right into it!

The demonic hand was shattered into pieces, and a loud groan came from the black demon ship. Immediately, curses came from the demon gods and the old A'thoer Lord suddenly stood up. Just as he clenched onto the Chaotic Meteor Banners, the black ship shuddered violently and a fair hand could be seen slamming on the ship body.

The loud cracking sound could be heard coming from within the demon ship and a huge palm mark was left on the ship's body. There were the demon gods who lost their balance from the strike and were shot out a way.

"A'thoer, don't you think it's a little shameful of you to bring so many demon gods along to just ambush a bunch of juniors?" The voice of an old lady could be heard saying.

Auspicious clouds then came into view at great speed, it hovered in front of the demon ship and expanded into a layer of clouds that paved across a distance of a hundred miles.

The Western Mother Empress could be seen standing at the front, leading the Kun Lun gods behind her as they were all filled with great killing intent.

She then smiled and said, "But… since you are all here already, how can we not be here to send our regards?"

The demon ship creaked and settled down. A'thoer Lord was standing on the ship's deck. His laughter was demonic and sounded incredibly nefarious, "Western Mother Empress, you are old already, old and senile! Else, you wouldn't even be here, personally looking after these juniors as they fight like ants just so you can have the best Peaches of Immortality. That being said, you and I are the same now, we don't have much time left anymore. But I do wonder, how did you know we were here?"

Zhong Yue's heart instantly stiffened up, the A'thoer demon gods had clearly planned for this, and it was quite improbable to notice their movements. Yet, the Kun Lun gods had made their appearances in this place as well. Clearly, they had been here for quite some time already!

These gods are all sly and cunning foxes, they both planned to ambush one another's juniors!, Zhong Yue thought to himself.

The godly auras were shuddering the planets and stars around the space. The surroundings then turned stagnant, and the junior cultivators had blood trickling out of their mouths as they couldn't withstand the immense pressure.

In the face of the true gods, everything and everyone seemed inconsequential in comparison. Not even the esteemed young gods were immune to the suppression!

Zhong Yue, the Tian Wu young cultivator and the others raised their heads and were awed by what they were seeing.

The gods appeared to be incredibly huge, solemn, imposing, and grand. They were as tall the sky, as firm as the earth, as strong as the sea, and as fast as the lightning, they were as incredible as how they were described in ancient lore!

Solemn and grand, demonic and angelic, dominating and invincible!

Even the young gods who were said to have the potential to transcend into the gods were so insignificant in the face of these true gods, like the differences between the ants and elephants. They weren't even as tall as the gods' toes.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue has mustered up all of his strength and struggled with every step he took. He was slowly and steadily moving as far away as he could from the gods, trying to exit the coverage of the godly auras. Immediately, his movements attracted the attentions of the other Qi Practitioners and they have all quickly followed, moving away as far as possible from the gods.

While the Western Mother Empress smiled, she looked as young as Chi Xue, having the appearance of a young beauty, but her voice was as old as one could get, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just have my eyes on your A'thoer Realm."

A'thoer Lord raised his brow and glanced at the demon gods that came with him. Immediately, all of the demon gods lowered their heads. They were engulfed in fear and terror, not daring to speak a word as they feared he would suspect them if they spoke.

"Why are you so anxious? Didn't your A'thoer Realm plant their own spies into my Kun Lun Realm as well?" Western Mother Empress was smiling as she said, "Shame that I had to eliminate them, but that was all necessary so that you'd go blind on us in the Kun Lun Realm."

A shocked expression spread across A'thoer Lord's face, and he asked, "Western Mother Empress, I think you might have gotten the wrong idea. We of the A'thoer Realm have never planted any spies in your Kun Lun. What a pity, I wonder which innocent god it was that you needlessly killed. Western Mother Empress, butchering as you like isn't really a good thing. After all, don't you care about the feelings of your little brothers and sisters in the Kun Lun Realm?"

Western Mother Empress's beautiful countenance changed slightly, and she swung her sleeves with great force and replied while smiling, " Hmph , you are too naive if you are trying to sow dissension among us. Gods of Kun Lun, follow me, and we shall cleanse this world of these filthy demons!"
