532 Forging Just Before the Battle (1/2)
Sang Hua was extremely nervous. The black tiger god had brought them into the enemy's nest, so could he have turned sides?
'However, he is a god. There would have been no need to lie to us. If he wanted to kill us, he could have just taken us down or eaten us.'
Even though logic said that, she still felt nervous in her heart.
After all, they were in the enemy's camp!
The devil race had existed in Supreme Emperor Heaven for some twenty thousand years, and in her memory, they were all fiendish and utterly evil. If anyone landed in their hands, it would be fortunate for them to find death!
And now, they were in their camp.
She looked around and saw countless devils staring at them. The heavenly devils sent chills down her back. They looked like hungry beasts hiding in the darkness, ready to pounce and tear them into pieces!
Sang Hua's palms were covered in cold sweat. Her gaze landed on one devil god, and she couldn't shift it away.
That man was topless, but his face didn't look like that of a normal human. There were only groups of flame markings that covered his whole body.
His eyes were extremely strange, flickering in his eye sockets like two balls of fire. When he saw them, he smiled. ”Young lady, I've seen you before. Your family has died under my hands, right?”
Sang Hua's hands formed into tight fists, but she didn't say anything.
Qin Mu took a look at that devil god, and his pupils contracted. He remembered that the first time he met Sang Hua, heavenly devils had attacked that city, and Sang Hua's father had gone to defend when he was encircled. A devil god had then pushed his way toward Sang Hua's family and killed most of the people.
Back then, the sight had been terrifying. Even though he couldn't see Sang Hua's face, he could feel her fear and anger.
Qin Mu had run everywhere with her, and only then did she survive unscathed.
Back then, Qin Mu and Sang Hua had been in two different worlds, so he couldn't see the face of that devil god clearly, but judging from Sang Hua's current expression, he could confirm that this topless devil god was the one that had massacre her family.
”The style of construction here is quite similar to that of our Great Ruins. I've seen numerous ruins of Founding Emperor Era, and they are similar to the palaces here.” Qin Mu suddenly smiled. ”Sister Sang Hua, your Supreme Emperor Heaven might just be related to our Great Ruins.”
He wanted to divert her attention, but she was plagued with matters of the heart and couldn't pay him much attention.
The black tiger god answered instead. ”Supreme Emperor Heaven belonged to Founding Emperor. It was part of the first heaven of the thirty-three heavens, so it's not strange that the buildings look similar.”
”Supreme Emperor Heaven is from Founding Emperor Era?” Qin Mu's heart trembled violently, and he cried out, ”What kind of place is thirty-three heavens? Hasn't Founding Emperor Era ended?”
The black tiger god was bewildered. ”Founding Emperor Era has ended? When did that happen? How could it have ended when Founding Emperor is still alive? As long as Founding Emperor is still alive, Founding Emperor Era will never end!”
Qin Mu was flustered, and his heart pounded crazily. Founding Emperor Era had yet to end!
This news was too shocking!
He immediately thought of his encounters in Great Ruins and Fengdu, how the heavenly king's god statue had acted on Founding Emperor's orders and rode the dragon qilin to kill the dragon king and how King Yama of Fengdu had mentioned Founding Emperor going to Carefree Village.
These two matters were clear signs that Founding Emperor Era had not yet ended!
However, when the black tiger god said this personally, it still gave Qin Mu a great shock.
”Your frame of mind is unstable, so it will be bad for your fight later.” The black tiger god was stern, and his voice loud. ”Your attainments in frame of mind aren't great to begin with, so won't you at least stabilize your mind?”
Qin Mu was muddle-headed. He asked in puzzlement, ”What fight?”
”We're here!”
The black tiger god suddenly stopped,. and his body trembled, pushing Qin Mu and Sang Hua off. When the two of them landed on the ground, the black tiger god shook and transformed back into a tiger-headed god. He looked down and frowned at the two people.
He then said loudly, ”Mu lord, these two people are useless; their minds are all flustered! They will probably lose miserably if you send them to fight!”
Sang Hua had seen the devil god that had almost wiped out her whole family and her mind was agitated, making it hard for her to restrain herself. Qin Mu's mind was also shaken, but his by the information the black tiger god had told him. He was still in a daze, so neither of them was in a good state now.
However, after hearing the black tiger god's words, the two of them came back to their senses and looked ahead of themselves. The sight astonished them.
The palaces up ahead laid out in a picturesque disorder were extremely strange. Some of them were bathed in fire, but not destroyed. The flames seemed to be emanated by the palaces themselves, even though it left them almost transparent from the scorching heat. The youths could see the interior of the palaces from the outside.
The flames lighted up the whole city like it was daytime!
In the sky above the palaces, gods and devils were facing each other, and Qin Mu immediately saw Saint Woodcutter. He also saw numerous gods standing behind him. Among them was Sang Hua's father.
Opposite them was a devil god that did not look like a devil, but was even somewhat refined and graceful. The only problem was that he didn't have ears.
In the place of his left ear, there was a face, and it was the same where his right ear was supposed to be.
Qin Mu couldn't see his back so he didn't know if there was a face on the back of his head too.
Suddenly, a black pillar rose that was several yards thick. It was like a black pagoda that stabbed diagonally the vast courtyard.
An unbelievably huge ax was also sent into the plaza. That ax was almost as thick as the black pillar.
Only now did Qin Mu notice that it wasn't a black pillar nor was it a black pagoda, but a huge spear.
It crossed with Saint Woodcutter's ax and stood upright in the plaza
