An Overwhelming Gap, Willow God Makes His Move!
"I truly underestimated you..."
The Yutian True God spoke, "I thought you would choose to protect yourself, but I didn't expect that at the last moment you would choose to send Zhao Xiuxiu away while you stayed behind."
"I can't leave even if I want to. From the beginning until now, your presence has been locked onto me."
Chen Ning smiled wryly, "If I used the same method to leave, you could stop me in an instant, so I can only send someone else away."
"If I hadn't locked onto you, would you have escaped on your own?"
The Yutian True God sighed and said, "I'm afraid you'll also choose to send him away. In some ways, you and Qilin are very similar, both valuing loyalty and righteousness."
"Then thank you for the compliment."
Chen Ning smiled slightly, and a surge of Divine Power erupted.
"Are you still going to engage in futile resistance?"
The Yutian True God smiled.
Chen Ning chuckled, "Let's give it a try."
That's all.
Chen Ning's gaze sharpened, and he gathered Purple Firmament Divine Lightning in his hand, unleashing it upon the Yutian True God.
This was his first time fighting against Upper God.
Hopefully this won't be the last time.
The result is obvious.
The Yutian True God scoffed dismissively, raised his hand, and unleashed a terrifying surge of Divine Power.
It instantly dispersed the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning.
Chen Ning's most powerful offensive tactics were completely ineffective.
A feeling of powerlessness.
Chen Ning frowned.
Facing an Upper God is still too difficult.
It's not even difficult anymore.
They're not even in the same league as each other.
"Kill!"
Behind the Yutian True God.
Suddenly, a streak of blood-red light shot out.
Crimson light raged.
It swept in.
However.
The Yutian True God didn't even offer any response.
That crimson light couldn't even penetrate the opponent's protective Divine Power.
They made the move.
It was the Blood Devil King who had returned.
Chen Ning was taken aback, looked at the other person, and asked, "Why are you back?"
"I want to protect my people, but at the same time, I also want to die with pride. I cannot turn and run away when facing my enemies."
"Very spirited, but unfortunately too stupid."
Chen Ning shook his head helplessly.
Enough with the chit-chat.
Chen Ning stated bluntly, "Let's join forces and fight to the death."
"Good! You're worthy to be my partner!"
The Blood Devil King roared in fury.
They attacked again.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
The Yutian True God snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and the world changed color.
Terrifying Divine Power surged forth like a tidal wave.
In an instant, it engulfed the Blood Devil King.
Chen Ning's expression changed.
But what happened next...
This far exceeded Chen Ning's and Yutian True God's expectations.
All I saw was...
The Blood Devil King, submerged in the tide of Divine Power, rose like a phoenix from the ashes, his aura gradually increasing and becoming more and more formidable.
That was the power that embodied the hatred and resentment of generations of the Blood Devil Race.
This moment.
It was completely inherited by the Blood Devil King.
The combat power unleashed in that instant was comparable to that of a Middle God.
"It seems your clan harbors deep resentment. In that case, I will annihilate all the descendants of the Lingyu True God to extinguish this resentment once and for all."
That's all.
The Yutian True God took a step forward.
The earth and sky shook!
The Yutian True God, who commands the power of heaven and earth.
A powerful suppression from the Heavenly Dao descended.
They wanted to suppress the Blood Devil King.
But at this moment...
The Blood Devil King, having gathered all his power, struggled and broke through the suppression.
He brandished his divine fist.
They pounced on the Yutian True God.
At this point, the Blood Devil King already possessed the power to harm the Yutian True God.
But it only possesses this ability.
They are still far from being able to truly defeat the Yutian True God.
The gap between them is still far too large.
The Yutian True God pressed down with a flick of his hand.
The power of heaven and earth pressed down once more.
It merged with the divine power of the Yutian True God and marched towards suppressing the Blood Devil King.
Boom!
Blood trickled from the corner of the Blood Devil King's mouth.
But they still fought with everything they had.
At the same time.
Chen Ning once again activated the Great Dao of Time.
Solidification time.
This will help the Blood Devil King's attack to be effective.
But the result was predictable.
Chen Ning's Great Dao of Time was fundamentally unable to solidify the time of the Yutian True God.
Same.
This attack from the Blood Devil King.
It also ended in disappointment.
The Yutian True God pointed out with a single finger.
A terrifying power, seemingly capable of piercing through heaven and earth, erupted.
They suffered this blow.
The Blood Devil King must die.
At this critical moment...
A streak of azure light swept over, dissipating the terrifying finger force.
The Yutian True God frowned.
The one who makes the move.
It was indeed the Willow God.
What surprised the Yutian True God was not that the Willow God was able to escape the great formation.
With Willow God's abilities.
That's not difficult.
What concerned him more was that Willow God had actually chosen to attack despite the hostages he held.
Now.
After seeing the Willow God appear.
The Blood Devil King's expression became complicated.
Willow God, "You knew all along, didn't you?"
"Yes."
The Blood Devil King nodded. "I've always known that you are Willow God, one of the culprits who harmed my ancestors."
"Then why don't you expose me?"
"I asked the Willow God."
"Because I can sense that you genuinely want to change me and my people."
The Blood Devil King sighed, "Continuing to harbor hatred is pointless; only change can truly lift my people out of Land of Exile. However, hatred must be remembered by someone, so I refuse to be transformed by you. I want to take revenge myself."
Upon hearing this Willow God...
A look of sorrow crept across his face as he murmured to himself, "Everyone else is clear-headed; the only one who's truly confused is me..."
His foolishness back then.
This led to his death at the Lingyu True God.
Today is also because of his foolishness.
This caused chaos to erupt once again in the Dragon-Tiger Realm.
Life was ravaged.
He can no longer let himself be trapped.
Therefore.
He broke free from the battle formation to stop the Yutian True God from causing an even greater disaster.
"Willow God, have you forgotten what you promised me? By interfering in my affairs now, do you not want that woman to live?" the Yutian True God threatened.
"She's already been ruined by you; there's no need for her to continue acting."
Willow God's eyes revealed a penetrating insight. In these past few days, the Yutian True God had never let him hear any of her voice, nor had he shown him her current situation.
Willow God had already guessed it.
She must have already been murdered.
Only.
He always harbored a glimmer of hope.
He couldn't believe it.
Therefore.
He trapped himself again.
Now.
That's when he truly wanted to take that step.
He couldn't let things get any worse.
The Yutian True God Heaven's expression darkened.
As expected.
He knew he couldn't hide it from Willow God for long.
Certainly.
He can forge documents.
Have someone impersonate that woman.
But with Willow God's keen insight, how could she not see it?
So.
The Yutian True God was eager to find new hostages as soon as possible.
Zhao Xiuxiu has the blood of the Willow God flowing through her veins.
It is an excellent choice.
Therefore.
He didn't want to hurt Zhao Xiuxiu.
Only.
Now, Chen Ning has already sent away this only hostage.
He can no longer blackmail Willow God.
This also means...
Between them.
A war is inevitable.
