Chapter 160: Hun Tiandi's Promise
🕑 Added 2023-07-14 20:03:16 +0000 UTC[T/N: Sigh! I am tired. It took me quite a while to find the full chapter. Normally, I translate from the raw site 'uukanshu'. But more than half of the content of this chapter was missing there.
Then I had to start searching in several other sites. At one point, I even thought, let's just post the chapter with whatever it has since all the sites that were presented in the google first page were same as 'uukanshu' and missing most of the content.
But thankfully, I finally managed to find the whole chapter. Enjoy!]
If Gu Yuan agreed to Hun Tiandi's proposal, they would be in danger. Yan Jin deeply regretted the situation at hand.
What kind of idea was this? If he had known that the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan were so resolute, he would never have come up with such a terrible plan.
Stop!
Yan Jin was determined to stop Gu Yuan. If Gu Yuan nodded his head and Hun Tiandi stood by, there would be no escape for their five clans.
...
Gu Yuan remained silent, unsure of what to do. He was inclined to lean towards Hun Tiandi's side since the five clans had provoked him first.
They were the ones who had instigated the conflict.
They had the power to provoke, so naturally, they would have to bear the consequences.
Even if the Gu Clan destroyed them, would it matter?
The Gu Clan has the power to do so.
...
Seeing Gu Yuan's silence, Hun Tiandi continued speaking, "Gu Yuan, although the Soul Clan may resort to questionable methods, I, Hun Tiandi, always keep my word."
"Gu Yuan, if you feel that my sincerity is not evident enough, how about I add the resources of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Palace to the deal?"
"Hmm?"
Gu Yuan's interest was piqued by Hun Tiandi's words. If it were in the past, he would never have believed Hun Tiandi. But now... Gu Yuan had no choice but to believe him.
Because if his speculation was correct, all eight pieces of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade in their possession were fakes. The genuine pieces had fallen into Hun Tiandi's hands.
So, Hun Tiandi should know the location of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Palace, as all eight pieces of the Ancient Emperor's Jade were in his possession. That’s why, Gu Yuan had no doubt about Hun Tiandi's words.
He only doubted whether Hun Tiandi truly intended to share the resources with him.
Would he?
Hun Tiandi said, "Gu Yuan, you should know that the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade in your hands is fake. The genuine Ancient Emperor's Jade has already fallen into my hands."
"All eight pieces of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade are now in my possession, and I also know the location of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Palace. The resources of the Palace are just a step away from me."
"I am willing to share the resources of the Palace with you, Gu Yuan. What do you think?"
Boom!
Hun Tiandi's words were like a timed bomb that exploded, shocking both the Gu Clan and the representatives of the five clans. They began to whisper among themselves.
Lei Ying said, "So, the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade in our possession has all fallen into the hands of Hun Tiandi."
They had previously speculated whether it was the Gu Clan or the Soul Clan that had used some trick to steal their Jade. Now, Hun Tiandi finally admitted it.
The thief who had taken their Jade was indeed the Soul Clan!
The despicable Soul Clan!
The deceitful Hun Tiandi!
Hun Tiandi looked at Lei Ying and the others and said, "So, you have discovered that the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade is fake. Not bad, you are not entirely foolish. I thought it would take you a little longer to realize it."
Lei Ying angrily demanded, "Hun Tiandi, return our Ancient Emperor's Jade!"
Hun Tiandi replied, "Return it to you? You are all as good as dead. What meaning would it have to return it to you?"
Then, Hun Tiandi turned his head and looked at Gu Yuan, asking, "Gu Yuan, have you made your decision?"
"My sincerity is abundant, as you can see!"
Hun Tiandi had said everything he needed to say. The next move was up to Gu Yuan. Even if Gu Yuan didn't take action, Hun Tiandi was ready to step in.
With his current strength, completely annihilating these individuals wouldn't be a problem, especially since the elite forces of the five races were gathered here. It would be a shame not to eliminate them all at once.
So...
If Gu Yuan didn't take action, Hun Tiandi would.
...
Faced with Hun Tiandi's words, Gu Yuan fell into silence. He struggled internally, clearly tempted by Hun Tiandi's proposal.
Moreover, based on Gu Yuan's understanding of Hun Tiandi, the Soul Clan's style of action might be extreme, but Hun Tiandi's credibility was still good in Gu Yuan's impression.
...
As Gu Yuan showed signs of hesitation, Yan Jin couldn't sit still any longer.
Yan Jin said, "Brother Gu Yuan, our five races apologize for our past actions. We are willing to make appropriate compensation. Brother Gu Yuan, please don't believe in Hun Tiandi's words! He is using you as pawn and trying to provoke discord among our six races."
"Brother Gu Yuan, please don't be deceived! Without our five races, the Gu Clan alone is no match for the Soul Clan. Brother Gu Yuan, please think twice! Don't be fooled by Hun Tiandi's scheme!"
Whoosh!
Boom!
As Yan Jin's voice fell, Hun Tiandi pointed a finger at him. Yan Jin's body instantly exploded into a mist of blood, and the Heavenly Flames he had swallowed were also released in that moment, fleeing towards the surrounding space.
However, it was only a moment.
The two Heavenly Flames were firmly caught by Hun Tiandi in his palm and couldn't escape.
Silence.
Profound silence.
Terrifying silence.
The entire world seemed to freeze in time at this moment.
Utter silence.
No one expected Hun Tiandi to suddenly take action, and to target Yan Jin like that. In an instant, Yan Jin was gone.
Who was Yan Jin?
He was the Yan Clan's patriarch.
With the cultivation level of an Eight-Star Dou Sheng late stage.
In just a few seconds…
He was dealt with by Hun Tiandi like this.
Furthermore...
Hun Tiandi hadn't even used his full power. This was too much.
It happened too quickly.
In an instant.
Everyone was shocked beyond belief. They hadn't come to their senses and remained stunned in their spots.
It wasn't until Hun Tiandi's voice sounded again, pulling everyone's thoughts back.
Hun Tiandi said, "Everything has become quiet."
He looked at the two Heavenly Flames in his hand. One was the seventh-ranked fire on the Heavenly Flame List. The other was the seventeenth-ranked flame.
These two Heavenly Flames combined were already not weaker than the fourth-ranked Heavenly Flame on the Heavenly Flame List.
These two Heavenly Flames belonged to Yan Jin, but now!
The owners of these two Heavenly Flames were none other than Hun Tiandi himself.
To obtain two Heavenly Flames in exchange for nothing, his mood was quite pleasant!
Whoosh!
His palm clenched tightly as Hun Tiandi integrated the two Heavenly Flames into his own body. The more Heavenly Flames he has, the greater the chance of obtaining the inheritance of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor.
After dealing with Yan Jin and obtaining two Heavenly Flames, Hun Tiandi looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Gu Yuan, now that the nuisance is gone, you can start your performance."
At this moment, Gu Yuan had already regained his clarity. He looked at Hun Tiandi's eyes, filled with shock. Hun Tiandi had made a move, just one move, and Yan Jin had fallen.
Even his soul hadn't been spared.
Yan Jin's strength was that of an Eight-Star Dou Sheng late stage, which was already not something easily found. They were among the most peak existences on the Dou Qi continent.
Now, with Hun Tiandi's single move, Yan Jin was resolved.
Was this still the Hun Tiandi he remembered?
Hun Tiandi seemed to have become stronger.
At least...
In Gu Yuan's eyes, he couldn't defeat a powerful individual like Yan Jin with just one move. An Eight-Star Dou Sheng at the late stage was not comparable to any random person.
...
The other strong individuals also woke up one after another. They saw the change in Hun Tiandi's gaze, filled with fear and awe.
A mid-late stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng vanished with a single word.
And so fast!
Their hearts churned with a storm, unable to be described in words.
"Phew..."
Gu Yuan let out a long breath, glancing at Lei Ying and the others. His face showed a serious expression, as if he had made a great decision. He raised his hand and said, "Kill them all! Leave none behind!"
"Yes!"
...
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
...
As Gu Yuan's words fell, the atmosphere in the entire world became heavy. Immediately, without hesitation, the strong individuals of the Gu Clan made their moves, and the strong individuals of the five races followed suit.
The Gu Clan had chosen to take action.
They couldn't just sit and wait for death!
Gu Yuan also took action. As a peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng, he was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. No matter how many sheep there were, they were no match for Gu Yuan and could only be slaughtered!
The sound of explosions echoed through the heavens and the earth!
The void burst repeatedly!
Blood splattered!
The phrase "the sky stained with blood" was not just a casual remark.
...
Hun Tiandi wasn't just watching from the sidelines, he also joined the battle.
With the addition of Hun Tiandi, the pressure on the Gu Clan's strong individuals decreased greatly.
Almost all the strong individuals from the Gu Clan paused and watched the performance of Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan. Among the strong individuals of the five races, the two of them seemed like unbeatable war machines.
Without others taking action, both of them guaranteed the demise of their opponents in a bloodbath!
After several hours passed, the sky became dim and turned blood-red. The entire world was filled with a strong smell of blood. None of the strong individuals from the five races were spared; they were all exterminated!
Even the clothes of Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan were stained with a significant amount of blood.
"Hahaha..."
Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan glanced at each other and burst into laughter. Their laughter echoed like thunder throughout the entire world, lingering for a long time.
After a while, their laughter ceased.
Gu Yuan said, "Hun Tiandi, I have fulfilled your request. Shouldn't you release my daughter as agreed?"
Gu Yuan looked at Hun Tiandi!
Hun Tiandi replied, "Gu Yuan, there's no rush to release her. When I return to the Soul Clan, I will naturally release her.”
“I'm very happy to cooperate with you, Gu Yuan. In the near future, I will invite the Gu Clan to visit our Soul Clan, and together we will uncover the secrets of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's inheritance."
"I'll take my leave."
After his words, Hun Tiandi tore through the space in front of Gu Yuan and left. Gu Yuan didn't choose to stop him; he just watched Hun Tiandi leave, his thoughts unknown.
After a while, Gu Yuan turned around and said to the Gu Clan's strong individuals, "Send people to the headquarters of the five races and completely clean them up. Remember, leave no one behind!"
"Yes!"
...
The news of the five races' joint attack on the Gu Clan, which ended with the Gu Clan counter-attacking and annihilating them, spread across the entire Central State Continent like a gust of wind. Gradually, it permeated the entire Dou Qi continent.
First-class forces on the Central State Continent were in an uproar.
They never expected that the five races, who had joined forces to teach the Gu Clan a lesson, would end up being counter-attacked.
All first-class forces on the Central State Continent sighed in disappointment!
Now, on the Dou Qi continent, only the Soul and Gu Clans remained as true ancient races.
The situation on the Central State Continent would no longer be as it was before.
Five ancient races were wiped out in one fell swoop!
First-class forces and strong individuals on the Central State Continent sensed an extraordinary atmosphere. A new storm would soon arise on the Dou Qi continent. They had to be more cautious as powerful individuals on the Central State Continent.
...
Hun Tiandi returned to the Soul Clan. Even though several days had passed, he had no intention of releasing Gu Xun'er.
Release her? It was impossible to release her. She was a woman with the potential to become a Dou Di. How could he let her go so easily?
He would indeed release Gu Xun'er, but not now.
During this time, the Gu Clan was busy cleansing the headquarters of each race. The Soul Clan didn't intervene. The strength of the Soul Clan was already disdainful of such matters.
However, just to be on the safe side and to ensure that he can break through to the Dou Di without any accidents, Hun Tiandi sent the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan to the five races' territories.
They were to collect all the members of the five races, as these people might become the key to his ascension to the Dou Di!
Now he was confident that he could obtain the inheritance of Tuo She Ancient Emperor. However, he feared the possibility that he might not gain the recognition of Tuo She Ancient Emperor in the end.
In that case, he would have to choose alchemy and follow the path laid out in the Divine Book.
He planned to proceed according to the original plan of the Soul Clan, but Hun Tiandi had no intention of allowing the Soul Clan to be sacrificed.
The members of the five races would be the best sacrifice.
Of course, this was the worst-case scenario.
Afterward, Hun Tiandi appeared in a void space.
He pointed his finger!
Gu Xun'er's body appeared in the void space, her eyes closed, suspended in front of Hun Tiandi.
At this moment, Gu Xun'er had returned to her original appearance. She floated there, motionless, like a sleeping beauty.
Quietly waiting for the appearance of the prince, and then... gently kissing her awake.
Hun Tiandi reached out and caressed Gu Xun'er's delicate face, whispering, "What a beautiful woman!"
Finally, Hun Tiandi's hand gradually moved downward.
Shock!
...
The next day-
Gu Xun'er woke up, looked at her naked body, and was confused. Eventually, as she fully regained her senses, she hurriedly lifted the blanket, trying to move her body.
"Hiss..."
Gu Xun'er sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain. Then she realized that she was in a room, lying on a bed.
"What's going on?"
Gu Xun'er's head buzzed, and the blood-red color on the bed already indicated what had happened—she had lost her innocence. Gu Xun'er couldn't remember anything.
In her memory, she was in a void space, where a small black figure the size of a palm appeared. The figure was very cute. But she never expected that this small black figure was actually the second-ranked flame on the Heavenly Flame List, the Void Devouring Flame.
She was shocked.
But before she could recover from her shock, the Void Devouring Flame, controlling its "Big Mouth," swallowed her.
She thought she had died.
But when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a room, and her innocence was gone.
What on earth had happened?
Who took her innocence?
