Chapter 295: Prelude to War 1



At the junction of the Fallen Star Ocean and the Sky Land, to the east, there is the boundless Fallen Star Ocean, and to the west, there is the boundless Sky Land.

Above the boundary line where the land and the ocean meet, extremely high above the ground, two figures stood quietly in mid-air.

The man standing in the east had long hair, a high crown, and fluttering sleeves. He looked lively and relaxed, as if he was free from worldly desires. He was surrounded by several lively lights, and vaguely visible were four treasures: a bell, a tripod, a furnace, and a mirror.

The void in all directions was floating as lightly as water waves, and the spiritual essence of heaven and earth was like a well-behaved pet, slowly rotating around the figure, constantly merging into the four spiritual lights around him, nourishing the four extraordinary treasures.

The man standing in the west was 18 feet tall, with purple air lingering around him. His aura was strong and fierce, powerful and domineering, and the void around him was trembling. Under the pressure of this man's terrifying aura, the spiritual essence of heaven and earth was like the most humble slave, curled up beside him respectfully, not daring to move at all.

The two stood in mid-air and stared at each other for a long time. The seven-foot-tall old man in the east smiled slightly and said, "Zi Wanzhong, so, is it still the old rules?"

The man to the west, who was eighteen feet tall and looked as mighty and domineering as a supreme king, snorted coldly: "That's fine, it doesn't matter. We have been peaceful for these years, and it's time to use up some of those lowly species and save some food."

The robed old man suddenly opened his eyes, and he saw extremely fine streams of light spinning rapidly in his eyes, as if he could see the entire galaxy in his eyes. His aura was mighty, like the Yangtze River running through the void, and the spiritual essence of the surrounding world was attracted and violently fluctuated in an instant, about to shatter the coercion that was solidified like a lock around Zi Wanzhong.

Zi Wanzhong sneered, he raised his right hand, clenched his fist and swung it downwards, an increasingly domineering aura surged out of his body, suppressing half of the void so that it could not move.

The eastern sky where the old man in the long robe was was filled with shifting light, as if countless auroras were floating on a carrier.

To the west of Zi Wanzhong, the sky was frozen and clear, like a pond of stagnant water, without the slightest color. No matter how many bright and colorful lights rushed in from the east, the clear and frozen void did not move at all. Instead, it seemed to be counterattacking, completely freezing all those bright and colorful lights.

"Venerable Siling, your cultivation has improved. Very good, very good. At this age, you are not living a dog's life!" Zi Wanzhong sneered.

“Zi Wanzhong, why are you speaking so harshly?” The Four Spirits Reverend frowned and said in a cold voice, “You were not such a smooth-talking, foul-mouthed person before!”

Zi Wanzhong opened his mouth and was stunned. A flash of embarrassment quickly crossed his handsome face: "Haha, in the past few years, I've gotten used to hearing it. I accidentally learned some... These words, are they bad?"

The Four Spirits Venerable looked at Zi Wanzhong with a strange expression. He said slowly, "If I compare you to a dog, will you be happy?"

Zi Wanzhong nodded thoughtfully: "So, these words are not pleasant to hear... Where did you learn such nonsense from?"

The Four Spirits Venerable glanced at Zi Wanzhong and suddenly laughed, "However, the great Law Enforcer Zi Wanzhong actually cursed people. It shows that you blockheads have finally begun to evolve. Hey, you just said that you should save more food... But why did I hear that you suffered heavy losses and now you don’t even have enough slaves?"

Zi Wanzhong's face froze. He looked deeply at the Four Spiritual Venerables and said calmly, "You don't have to worry about that! Hey, if you are in the mood to care about the internal affairs of our Celestial Clan, you might as well take care of your disciples!"

Zi Wanzhong grinned, revealing two rows of bright teeth, and laughed cruelly: "Old rules, those who are stronger than the Heaven-Stepping Realm are not allowed to take action. Let the little brats below do it. Hehe!"

"Okay, the old rules, those who are stronger than the Heaven-Stepping Realm are not allowed to attack!" The Four Spirits Venerable took out a document that was shining with spiritual light, and threw it to Zi Wanzhong with a shake of his hand: "Sign this letter of challenge, and start the war. Haha! It's really interesting, who is so bold as to empty so many of your warehouses?"

Zi Wanzhong took the letter of challenge, casually glanced at the various terms marked on it, wrote his name on it without taking it seriously, and took out a seal and slammed it heavily on it.

"Those emptied warehouses, what do they mean?" Zi Wanzhong said calmly, "The little guys down there have been holding back for too long, and they just want to find an excuse to start a war."

He threw the letter of challenge back to the Four Spirits Reverend with a shake of his hand. Zi Wanzhong's figure gradually disappeared in the purple air. "Keep an eye on the young people in your family. Don't mistakenly enter the battlefield. Hehe, if I kill you and end your family lineage, that would be a real treat!"

Zi Wanzhong disappeared without a trace. The Four Spirits Venerable stood in mid-air, staring blankly at the place where Zi Wanzhong was just now for a long time, and suddenly shook his head vigorously.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong! Zi Wanzhong used to be such a smooth talker. Haha, he actually learned to curse me for 'cutting off my descendants' and even joked that this was 'pleasing to the eye'. Where did he learn these things from?"

"But it's harmless. Maybe it's just that my brain has opened up?"

The Four Spirits Venerable shook his head, slowly rolled up the letter of challenge, turned around and looked in the direction of the Fallen Star Ocean, and smiled calmly: "However, what he said does make some sense. The Fallen Star Ocean is too big, and it can't hold too much waste. Taking this opportunity to clean up a batch and leave enough living space is also..."

Before he could finish his words, Zi Wanzhong's figure suddenly appeared behind the Four Spirits Venerable. His right palm was like a knife, silently splitting the void with a palm and slapping the Four Spirits Venerable hard on the back.

The long hair on the head of the Four Spirits Venerable exploded one by one, and he roared angrily. The precious mirror with a black tortoise as the mirror button, which was suspended in the four rays of spiritual light around him, moved on its own with a hum. The bronze mirror with a diameter of three feet and six inches suddenly moved behind him, emitting a green light that shone on Zi Wanzhong's palm.

There were continuous "crackling" sounds. Zi Wanzhong shattered the green light that was emitted from the treasure mirror with a punch. He slapped the treasure mirror hard with his right palm, causing it to sink three inches and hit the back of the Four Spirits Venerable heavily.

The Four Spirits Venerable was knocked back three thousand miles by a single punch, causing endless smoke and spiritual light to appear along the way, with blood faintly visible from the corners of his mouth.

“Zi Wanzhong!” The Four Spirits Venerable roared angrily.

"Damn, I couldn't kill him with one punch, what a pity!" Zi Wanzhong stood still, looking at the Four Spirits Venerable and said calmly: "Sure enough, sneak attacks are much better than frontal attacks. In the future, I have to attack from behind more often!"

The Four Spiritual Venerables turned around in anger and roared at Zi Wanzhong: "You have even learned how to attack from behind? You, you... Aren't you afraid that my spiritual cultivation lineage will go to war with your Celestial Clan?"

Zi Wanzhong grinned and said in a fierce voice, "Will it happen?"

The Four Spirits Venerable's face froze, and he gritted his teeth and silently transformed into a ray of spiritual light and quickly escaped.

All-out war?

Only a fool would do that!

Zi Wanzhong stood in mid-air, his head tilted, purple light flashing in his eyes, and he was lost in thought.
