C581 – Tianji Zi
The Void erupted in a burst of energy.
The Great Dao materialized, and as the dog beheld the approaching hand, its canine eyes blazed with rage.
It was this individual!
It was this very person who had thwarted his transformation Heavenly Tribulation, rendering all his years of dedication futile.
Now, whether he would ever encounter the Transformation Heavenly Tribulation again remained a mystery.
Were it not for this individual’s intervention, he would have already assumed a human form by now, allowing him to enjoy precious moments with his wife and children in the comfort of their home.
When little Guo Guo searched for her father, he could have reached out to embrace his daughter.
Only the heavens knew how long he had eagerly anticipated this day. That beautiful dream in his heart had been shattered by the young man before him. How could he not be infuriated?
Without uttering a word, he tossed a dozen or so calligraphy pieces into the air, saturating the Void with an overwhelming force of nature.
The ferocious power triggered tremors in the heavens and earth, with continuous explosions echoing through the surroundings.
“Woof!”
The dog bellowed with rage, vowing to take this person’s life while they still drew breath.
The young man grasped the dog’s intent but remained unperturbed, offering only a smile.
The dog moved with astonishing speed, closing the gap between it and Qihuang in the blink of an eye. The young man had intervened to save the Qilin, and in such a scenario, he wouldn’t allow the young man to have his way.
Qihuang’s eyes filled with terror upon seeing the dog. He attempted to cry out for assistance but realized that he was utterly immobilized.
The dog sneered, lifting its paw and preparing to strike down.
“My life is over.”
Witnessing the dog’s claw steadily enlarging, Qihuang was filled with profound astonishment.
“Crack!”
A resounding snap echoed as fractures marred the fabric of the Void.
As the young man observed the dog persisting in its attempt to harm Qihuang before him, a trace of anger momentarily crept onto his formerly smiling countenance.
Yet, this display of emotion was evanescent, leaving observers to wonder if they had imagined it.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the young man effortlessly dispelled the restraining energy emanating from the painting.
A casual flick of his other hand, and Qihuang, previously imprisoned, materialized within his grasp.
“Zhang Xuan’s mastery of calligraphy and painting may reach celestial heights, but in my estimation, it falls short, not to mention employing this art… It’s all about you.”
Hearing the young man’s statement, the dog promptly experienced a surge of discomfort.
What did he mean?
Looking down on him so much?
Was he unable to take it out just like that?
What did he mean that his master’s Dao of calligraphy and painting could be done? What did he mean by that when he displayed it, it could not be done?
In his anger, the dog threw out the dog basin, dog chain, wooden stick, and even half of the bone that he had bitten before, smashing it towards the young man.
The young man showed disdain and said with a cold smile, “Without these treasures, your strength is much weaker than Qihuang’s.”
When Qihuang, who was standing behind him, heard the young man’s words, he excitedly dug the ground with both of his claws.
This was more like it. The reason why he was crushed by the dog just now was purely because there were too many treasures in the dog.
If he had the same amount of treasures as the dog, killing the dogs would be like drinking cold water to him.
“Woof…”
Who didn’t know how to talk big?
His dog still dared to say that he was number one in the world.
He didn’t need to pay taxes to brag.
The dog was sure that even without those treasures, he could still crush this Qilin called Qihuang.
When the young man heard the dog’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m here today to bring Qihuang back. After all, he’s my partner for many years. As for the grudges between you two, I don’t want to get involved!”
As soon as the young man’s voice faded, the pause button was pressed on the entire world. Even time and space had stopped.
“Master, I want…”
Qihuang saw the dog that had stopped in its tracks. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he couldn’t help but speak.
He had lost face today. He had been beaten up by a junior in front of so many people. If he went back just like that, wouldn’t he become the laughing stock of everyone in the world?
But… Qihuang looked at the dog. If he really had to face this dog, he would feel some fear and apprehension in his heart.
He couldn’t help but wonder if he could kill this dog if he encountered it again.
The youth was startled when he heard this. He sighed in his heart. Qihuang’s heart of invincibility had shattered.
He had protected Qihuang too well. He had lost his heart of invincibility after suffering such a small setback.
The dog had become Qihuang’s inner demon. If the dog didn’t die, Qihuang’s cultivation base would stop here.
“Go back. You left the courtyard without my permission. I haven’t asked you to take responsibility yet. What else do you want?”
The young man said with a smile. Qihuang’s body trembled when he heard this, and his eyes revealed endless fear.
He knew that his master was really angry this time.
No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, Qihuang could only follow his master and leave.
“Buzz!”
Just as the young man was preparing to depart, a Void Tunnel unexpectedly materialized.
The youth was taken aback and turned his gaze towards the emerging passage.
“Senior Tianji Zi, Luo Hou has arrived to pay you a visit!”
Luo Hou advanced toward the young man with each measured step, his aura growing denser and his martial determination intensifying.
“Luo Hou has reached the Thirty Third Layer. While breaking through further may be beyond his current capabilities, he is eager to assess his strength, which emboldened him to meet Senior Tianji Zi today.”
The canine companion remained trapped in the Void. Hearing Luo Hou’s words, he deduced that the young man went by the name Tianji Zi.
“Uncle Dog, what’s going on with all of you?!”
At that moment, Nannan’s voice unexpectedly rang out from beside him. Shortly thereafter, the canine felt a potent Taoist Charm surging nearby, and soon after, his mobility was restored.
“Woof…”
Baffled, the dog wondered why everyone else had been immobilized while Nannan remained unaffected.
“I’m not sure. It’s quite perplexing. What’s happening to you guys? It’s as if someone has triggered your pressure points,” Nannan expressed his confusion.
At this juncture, all the individuals aboard the Divine Ship were released from their confinement, and their regard for Tianji Zi underwent a transformation.
What a terrifying person!
“Woof…”
The dog wore a solemn expression as it bore the responsibility of safeguarding the courtyard in its master’s absence. Earlier, it had grown somewhat restless, but fortunately, Tianji Zi showed no signs of hostile intent. Otherwise, they would have been sorely outmatched by Tianji Zi’s might.
At this very moment, Luo Hou drew nearer to Tianji Zi.
He extended his hand, conjuring forth a long spear that exuded the aura of a dragon, brimming with an overwhelming and fierce presence.
“This spear is known as the Slaughter Divine Spear. I’ve spent 300 million years refining it, yet it has never seen battle. I am curious about its true power. Senior, would you do me the honor of testing it?”
Without further ado, Luo Hou sprang into action.
Everything transpired with astonishing swiftness, as his spear cleaved through the Void itself.
The young man furrowed his brow but then relaxed, commenting, “Fascinating. You possess the power to slay a god. Is this what you’ve prepared for all these years? The God-Slaying Spear truly lives up to its name.”
Luo Hou sneered, a divine shadow manifesting around him as his eyes turned a fiery scarlet. The power of his bloodline surged, unleashing a monstrous devilish aura.
“Jiya!”
At this very moment, the entire cosmos, including the Chaotic Battlefield, was riveted by the duel between Luo Hou and Tianji Zi. None noticed the emergence of a Bronze Sect.
“Haha, the Bird Master has returned!”
A supremely haughty voice resounded from within the door.
