"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
She chuckled awkwardly and withdrew her hand: "I've only lived for a little over a hundred years, how could I possibly understand such divine positions, right, brother?"
Li Changzhou stared at her for a while, then asked, "How do I refine it?"
"I know that! It's very simple! Just input your true energy to fully illuminate the runes, and you'll obtain a celestial position!"
“Take us to the north, and once we find the position of the True God of the North Sea, this thing will be yours.”
"Brother, sister," Cheng Huang said with a fawning smile, "you can take this celestial position. I have some business to attend to, so I won't be going to the north."
When celestial masters fight, they can destroy mountains and cities. If top-tier divine masters were to fight in outer space, they could easily annihilate each other, one star at a time.
Not to mention the supreme powerhouses who have lowered their cultivation levels.
When the might of Heaven is unleashed, the heavens collapse and the earth cracks.
The Mountain and River Map can be resurrected after death, and these powerful figures are even more unscrupulous when they start fighting.
She fears she might survive to go, but not to take the celestial position; she'll likely be killed by the aftermath.
Li Changzhou extended his index finger, which had previously turned into black mist, and aimed it at Cheng Huang's brow.
"I want this—"
Buzz!
Black light waves shone at my fingertips.
"Or should I—" Li Changzhou raised the pearl, "this one?"
"It it it it it it!" Cheng Huang pointed desperately at the pearl.
The black light wave, no bigger than a fingertip, contained energy that made even immortals tremble.
The light wave was right in front of Cheng Huang. From her perspective, the whole world was dyed black, as if it were the end of the world.
"The precious pearl is here!" A large group of people surged up behind Li Changzhou.
Once the orb is found, and the runes inside are not fully illuminated, it will be perceived by divine sense.
Li Qianxia flew off Li Changzhou's shoulder, about to make a move, but Li Changzhou didn't turn his head and then pointed out a wave of light from his fingertips.
A flash of black light disappeared over the reeds.
Cheng Huang first saw a huge black sphere of light slowly bulging on the horizon, everything in the light was being annihilated, followed by a terrifying roar.
boom!
With a deafening roar, the earth trembled, and the river was lifted off the ground like a piece of skin.
The world has truly been stained with black light.
The previous day and night of unilateral escape had caused Li Changzhou and his two companions to disappear from the scene depicted by the Mountain and River Map. Now, the explosion brought them back into the public eye for a short time.
In the Great Hall of Heaven-Mending, all that could be seen was Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia riding their steeds soaring into the sky. Behind them, the river water crashed into the reeds with a loud "bang!"
“A deity has taken notice of them,” the old snake chuckled.
This scene, without any prior context, does indeed seem very misleading, making it appear as if the two are being chased.
Cheng Huang was so frightened that she almost separated from her beastly body. She had a bad feeling, but she never expected that such a small amount of true energy—which she thought—would contain such terrifying power.
She ran incredibly fast on all fours, breaking new records in speed.
The three headed north, and anyone who dared to covet the precious pearl in Li Changzhou's hands was wiped out by a black light. The Mountain and River Map captured their departure from the battlefield each time.
As a result, everyone thought they had been constantly being hunted down.
Before even reaching the north, several enormous figures could be seen on the horizon.
A giant bird engulfed in flames swept across the sky, turning boulders into lava and giant trees into pillars of fire, which were then instantly burned to charcoal.
Mountains, one after another, melted away like cakes.
Sixteen figures soared into the sky, surrounding the giant firebird. Each person grabbed one side of the bird and pulled it simultaneously.
The giant bird let out an extremely painful cry and was immediately torn apart, its blood cascading down like a waterfall and hanging in the sky.
Sixteen figures grabbed something from the giant bird's bones, flesh, and sea of blood.
"You divine beings! Hand over your divine positions!"
Then another terrifying figure rose from the ground—a savage elephant larger than a mountain—and with a flick of its trunk, struck the sixteen figures.
The elephant's trunk fell, as if a pillar of heaven had collapsed.
Not to mention the whip, the air under the elephant's trunk was compressed at high speed, making it as hard as refined iron. An ordinary person would even die from "colliding with the air"!
The battle for the True God of the North Sea has begun.
