Chapter 1003: A Pissed Off Fox (1/2)

Disorder crept into the world of immortals. The previous overlord of the monster spirits—Levitating Island—had completely collapsed. Monster spirit ancestor Silverlight had been captured by an even stronger entity, leaving Goldenlight kneeling in front of the Dao Academy gates and begging for the sovereign of monster spirit dao to save his beloved.

Sovereign of the monster spirit dao—the primordial monster spirit ancestor—naturally didn’t refuse to help. She traveled to Levitating Island with a group of academy experts and met the unknown master in battle, overturning all of the North Sea for several months.

The remaining two heavyweights in the North Sea, the masters of the Dark North Sword Sect and Ingress Island, fully evacuated from the area. They sought shelter in Witherdew Major and became important officials of its court.

Since the Witherdew celestial court had just been rebuilt, it lacked mighty subordinates under its command. Though the Xue Clan and rest of Withdew’s once peak factions had greatly recovered thanks to the Dao Academy’s protection, they were still a far cry from the strength of the other eight majors.

But with the inclusion of the Dark North Sword Sect and Ingress Island, the major grew rapidly in strength.

However, as Wuzhiqi was a connate demon god and an existence that exceeded great emperor, no faction in the world of immortals had a right to intervene in the battle of the North Sea. Even the ten newly awoken titans in the ten lands didn’t dare provoke the ancient demon god.

The rulers of the ten lands were all powerhouses from the time before Emperors Fall. The demon god’s name had shaken the heavens in that age and they clearly remembered his terrifying might. There was only one exception to that group—the torch dragon from Xuan Yuan’s tomb had made use of hellfire to project its image to the North Sea.

……

“Fellow daoists, it’s you alright!” The torch dragon immediately recognized the Deaf Prince, Lin Yan, and the others when it saw them. “You want to make use of Wuzhiqi to break free from your tribulation, don’t you!”

Lin Yan nodded with resignation and the Deaf Prince remained unable to hear before he fully returned to himself. Therefore, he looked dumbly at the torch dragon making weird mouth shapes at him.

“I hate foxes,” the torch dragon suddenly grumbled when it saw the little fox.

The little fox didn’t dignify that complaint with a response. If it wasn’t for her trapping the torch dragon in Xuan Yuan’s tomb, it wouldn’t have survived to modern times.

The Deaf Prince, Lin Yan, Jing Dichen, Feng Ruyu, Bai Qi, and Beicang Qiong had called upon Mount Vastpace together in their clash against Wuzhiqi, turning the local seas into a world of the human dao treasure of space. They’d sealed off a region of water a hundred thousand kilometers across, forcing Wuzhiqi to fight them.

The demon god was no fool either, he naturally knew what the prodigals wanted to do when they showed up en masse. Help six hated rivals break free of their tribulation so they could return to their core essence as demon gods? The sky would have to fall in first!

In return, Wuzhiqi sealed off Levitating Island and ignored the taunts and catcalls from the outside world. If it wasn’t for the six prodigals ramming the island with the power of Mount Vastspace day in and day out, he would’ve comfortably shifted his focus to perpetuating his bloodline with Silverlight a long time ago.

“It’s a pity that water monkey is too perceptive and refuses to fight us no matter what we do,” sighed Beicang Qiong.

He’d been Zhurong, ruler of the Huo Nation, in his past life. After the establishment of human dao, Zhurong stepped aside in favor of Crimson Emperor Chi Biaonu and became the grand priest of the human race. His status and authority among humanity was one of the highest as he was a pillar of the race.

The current Zhurong in the world of immortals and the ancient god of fire Zhurong in the Primordial Era were also his legacies.

If Beicang Qiong recovered his past self, the Zhurong Clan of the world of immortals would catapult to the top as well. Instantly becoming a peak faction, they would return to all of their glory days in the great wilderness.

“In all honesty, you don’t need to be in a rush to break out of your tribulation.” The torch dragon nodded at Beicang Qiong. “It’s not a bad thing to be caught in it. You six aren’t entities like Hongjun, who’s ready for his next trial at any time after concluding his previous one.

“You keep a spark of hope alive by constantly remaining in a state of being tested. If you break free now, you’ll die without a doubt when the great cataclysm descends.”

The little fox jerked with surprise as Beicang Qiong and the others looked askance at each other.

“What’d he say now, eh?” Aware of his handicap these days, the Deaf Prince blared out his question while staring blankly at the torch dragon.
