The Death of Azure Heaven, as Expected, is Not Unrelated to Yellow Heaven

"She chose the worst possible way to fight." Keisha leaned against the edge of the viewing stand, her tone flippant.

Long Zang explained with a smile: "The current Tsunade has already awakened Wood Release, and with the cultivation method I gave her, the chakra in her body has long been replaced by Sage Power. They're not even on the same level."

The others nodded in agreement.

But Esdeath, who had been sent flying, wasn't discouraged. Instead, her eyes burned with a fanatical excitement.

She was the ceiling character of the Akame ga Kill World. She'd never admitted defeat to anyone.

If the original plot hadn't forced her to "take a lunch break," she could have walked all over everyone.

"Hey, you love-struck narcissist, cat got your tongue?" Tsunade couldn't help but taunt.

"Love-struck? Narcissist?" A vein bulged on Esdeath's temple.

"Mahapadma!"

The next instant, space froze.

Esdeath's figure appeared before Tsunade like a ghost, her rapier piercing clean through Tsunade's chest!

The freeze dissolved.

Tsunade looked down at her own chest: "Next time, aim for the head."

...Wanda: !!!!!

That line sounded way too familiar.

Everyone turned to look at her.

Aqua and Shi Yu "interrogated" her with their eyes. Wanda looked baffled: "Don't look at me! It's not my fault, it's Thor's problem!"

"Mhm mhm." Shi Yu brushed it off casually.

"Right right right, blame it all on Thor!" Aqua nodded frantically.

Wanda was speechless. Clearly this wasn't her mess, so why did everyone think it was?

...On the arena!

Esdeath had just scored a hit and was about to press the attack, but Tsunade punched her flying!

The wound on Tsunade's body began to heal rapidly, restoring itself in the blink of an eye.

Keisha watched with relish: "Looks like this is it. Esdeath loses."

Long Zang nodded with a smile.

As expected, Esdeath was indeed defeated.

...The battle ended. In the chat group!

[Tsunade: @Esdeath, don't play dead. Say something.]

[Esdeath: I concede. But this is only temporary. Later... maybe I'll be the one winning. You just learned the cultivation method earlier than me.]

In the Naruto World, Tsunade stared at that message. She was a bit angry, but she couldn't refute it.

After all, with Esdeath's sheer ruthlessness, she might just become the second person in the group to give Long Zang world feedback. If she got something good from Long Zang then, surpassing Tsunade wasn't impossible.

...Emperor Venerable Island.

Long Zang smiled and closed the chat group.

He had already uploaded the cultivation method to the group long ago. Any new member who joined would automatically receive it.

As for spreading it outside?

He wished everyone would spread it!

The more these cultivation methods spread through other worlds, the more the World Will would reward him. He could get stronger faster. It was a sure-win deal.

He glanced at his own Small World. For now, it still only had two living beings: Di Xi and Di Shu.

No other life had been born yet.

His Small World was the type that birthed "divine-level life" from the very beginning. It wasn't that easy.

Just like the dawn of a real universe, the first beings to emerge were supreme gods. Ordinary life would only appear later.

All of this... needed time.

Primordial World, Western Region

Luohu quietly watched the man before him, whose entire body was wreathed in demonic energy. A hint of strangeness flickered in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that the man standing in front of him would be Yellow Heaven.

Yellow Heaven's fall to demonic corruption had nothing to do with Luohu. If he truly had the power to make a Supreme Expert like Yellow Heaven turn demon, then Luohu would have already become the number one in the Primordial World.

After all, at Yellow Heaven's level, external forces couldn't shake his Dao heart in the slightest. To reach this point could only mean that Yellow Heaven had chosen the path of demonic corruption himself.

"You want to cooperate with me?" Luohu's tone was calm as he looked at Yellow Heaven.

"Correct." Yellow Heaven replied coldly. "If we join forces, there are few in the entire Primordial World who can stand against us."

Luohu heard these words and lowered his head in contemplation.

He understood very well that the core purpose of Yellow Heaven seeking an alliance with him this time was to eliminate Ancestor Dragon.

Ancestor Dragon had become an obsession in Yellow Heaven's heart. If he could not personally settle this nemesis, his Dao heart would never be complete. The true meaning of their cooperation lay precisely here.

Despite Yellow Heaven having fallen to demonic influence, his mind was clearer than anyone else's.

Joining forces with Luohu was the optimal choice at hand.

Looking across the entire Primordial World, the forces capable of contending with Ancestor Dragon could be counted on one hand.

The Phoenix Clan? No chance at all—they had plainly stated they wanted no part in the Primordial World's conflicts. Cooperating with Yuan Huang was something Yellow Heaven would never consider.

The Kirin Clan? They had the strength, but unfortunately their alignment was already clear. First Kirin had long since allied with Ancestor Dragon, precisely to guard against a sudden counterattack from the Phoenix Clan. Even if the Phoenix Clan appeared unwilling to act, First Kirin dared not gamble.

Sifting through the options, the only one left was Luohu.

Of course, Yellow Heaven still had two backup candidates in mind: Shen Ni and Hongjun.

But he quickly dismissed them.

Though Shen Ni was powerful, he was now focused on securing a corner of the Primordial World. As a survivor of the failed Ferocious Beast Clan from the previous era, he bore a massive burden of Karma and dared not act lightly. His last intervention had been solely to scrape together some merit, while also worrying that if the Phoenix Clan fell, the Ferocious Beast Clan would be next in line.

Asking him to go after Ancestor Dragon now? That was a fool's dream.

As for Hongjun, that was even more impossible.

He was single-mindedly pursuing the Heavenly Dao, carrying too much cause and effect on his shoulders to proactively meddle in matters that could alter the Heavenly Mandate. Especially since Ancestor Dragon was one of this era's "Sons of Heavenly Mandate."

Thus, Yellow Heaven was ultimately left with only Luohu as his choice.

At this moment, Luohu was also weighing the pros and cons.

On the surface, Yellow Heaven's combat strength was indeed considerable, but unfortunately he stood alone, with no faction backing him.

Cooperating with him meant declaring war on Ancestor Dragon, which also meant simultaneously going to war with the Kirin Clan.

Ancestor Dragon and First Kirin now advanced and retreated together; to move against Ancestor Dragon, one had to take on the Kirin Clan as well.

This was a matter Luohu had to consider carefully.

He closed his eyes, sinking into thought, while Yellow Heaven stood by in silent wait.

He was not anxious, because he knew... Luohu would ultimately agree.

Luohu did not belong to any of the three clans; he represented the "fourth force" outside the Primordial World.

Yellow Heaven had seized on this very point when he came to negotiate.

Sure enough, after a moment, Luohu opened his eyes and looked at Yellow Heaven.

"Cooperation is possible. But the operations will be arranged by me."

"I don't care." Yellow Heaven nodded, his tone icy. "I only want one outcome... Ancestor Dragon must die."

Luohu gave a slight nod.

Yellow Heaven said nothing more and turned to leave.

After he was gone, Luohu stood in place, his gaze profound.

"Yellow Heaven... you really are ruthless enough."

He finally understood why Yellow Heaven had managed to break through to Sublime Saint—it was because he had merged with the original essence of Azure Heaven.

This also explained how Yellow Heaven, with his incomplete origin, had successfully stepped into the Sublime Saint realm.

"That being the case, Azure Heaven's death is indeed inseparable from Yellow Heaven..."

But strangely, he could only sense Azure Heaven's aura, not a trace of Cyan Heaven's.

The Three Heavens shared the same origin; now that both Azure Heaven and Cyan Heaven had vanished, there was likely more hidden behind this.

Luohu murmured softly, "The Dragon Clan... it's time to make a move."
