Chapter 867: Pursuit (1/2)

The Stone of Three Lives was already in Lu Yun’s hands, but he realized that in order to truly obtain and refine this ultimate treasure of the netherdark, he had to kill Dusk Snake.

Another alternative was to force the Tome of Life and Death to come out and seize the stone, but it’d lain still in his body after collecting the body of God and helping him withstand hellfire. Thus, he chose the first method of killing Dusk Snake!

This was the end of the road for the demon god; fear and a hint of crazy streaked through his eyes when he heard Lu Yun’s words.

“If you want to kill me, then I’ll exterminate the human race first!” He finally screeched and twisted his massive body around so that it fell on the planet of the great wilderness!

“Stop him!” Lu Yun roared with a cold snort.

Hummm!

Next to the planet, a burst of silver illumination flared from the Taiyin Star while Diexi transformed into an enormous butterfly and abruptly vanished into thin air. Changxi then walked out of the star, wielding her shortsword and striking out at Dusk Snake.

“Changxi, how dare you harm me?!” The snake roared and crashed toward Changxi, momentum unabated.

Though Changxi was also a chaos realm connate god, her cultivation was a step lower than Dusk Snake’s. She wasn’t a premier chaos realm demon god, so her face paled when she saw the other throw himself at her with no thought for caution.

Despite that, she remained staunchly in place and refused to back down. In the segment of memory that Lu Yun had erased from his mind, countless yin spirits had besieged the Taiyin Star and he’d saved her from being overrun. Therefore, now that Dusk Snake wanted to destroy the boy’s race, she would stymie his objective even at the risk of her own life.

“You court death!” Dusk Snake opened his mouth wide and shattered Diexi’s light, then bit down on Changxi.

Hummm.

Jade brilliance suddenly flashed through the void as a green arrow pierced through space and connected with Dusk Snake’s head.

Boom!

He was knocked askew and sent off course from his devastating dive.

A girl dressed in golden armor and hair flaming like the sun walked out of the sun star. Alertly holding a jade-colored bow, she quickly reached Changxi’s side.

“Big sister!” Gratitude graced Changxi’s face and she shook slightly when she saw the golden-haired girl.

Xihe, the connate demon god born of the sun star! [1]

In the mythology that Lu Yun was familiar with, Xihe was the consort of Emperor Jun. But the legendary emperor had yet to be born in this age, and neither would he be a connate demon god. He would be a great emperor of humanity sometime in the future.

This was a clear example of how real history differed from mythology.

A blazing power constantly exuded from the golden-haired girl, but her expression was as icy as frost. A thick killing intent emanated from her pale-golden eyes. The jade-colored great bow in her possession was the Great Yi’s ultimate treasure, his bow!

“Dusk Snake, are you courting death by hurting my sister?” Her tones were so chilly that they stabbed straight into the bone. She drew back on the bow once more and aimed it at Dusk Snake.
