Chapter 533 Betrayer, Pillar of Heaven, Innate Qi

LiCangTian



The Heaven Thief was also known in ancient times as the Treasure-Rich Demon Lord.Most of the powerful individuals he hunted didn't even have time to witness his true abilities before being crushed to death by the countless magical treasures in his possession.Furthermore, each of the Heaven Thief's magical treasures was a life-bound artifact.Treasures forged with life itself.The level and attributes of the treasure depended on the powerful individual's realm and abilities in life.At this moment, although he had already gone far away, the countless treasures he possessed remained on this land.Among them was a treasure called the Heavenly Net.This treasure was hidden throughout the entire Alliance Realm, its power radiating across the entire domain, forming a colorless and invisible net.The auras of the Cang Clan and the Ming Clan, beings from the celestial world, were vastly different from those of mortals.Now, this Heavenly Net had locked onto that special aura, and would react upon its appearance, which was why Shen Ji was able to instantly appear before Ming Yuan. This also means that the coordinates of that celestial path are not within the Alliance's territory, which is why it's so difficult to find!Ming Hu has arrived at his location.He is above this city.People look up; the sky is cloudless, unaware that a celestial being is hiding within the divine space, preparing to destroy everything they have!Cang Hu is confident.He possesses the laws of space; once his super-disciple technique is formed, he can absolutely destroy this city-state beneath him in an instant—no one can match his speed!But at this moment, there are two supreme experts right next to this city-state.Yang Sheng comes from Leiju.Most of the rebels who raised their swords against Li An also came from here.So now that everyone has come to their senses, they naturally want to settle accounts with the traitors.The one handling this is none other than Wei Quan, the mountain lord of Leiju.He possesses the seventh level of the Heavenly Dao Fruit, and is accompanied by another high-level god, Emperor Qi from the Asura Realm.Since the Temple of Cultivation is operating here, Emperor Qi is naturally also present.Although his cultivation level was the same as Wei Quan's, his lifelong training in the art of killing made him undoubtedly a cut above Wei Quan's."Brother Di Qi, I truly never imagined my clan's disciples would be so foolish!""Rest assured, today I will uphold justice even at the cost of family ties. Whoever the traitor is, I will kill them!"Wei Quan was filled with bitterness.Furthermore, he seemed to be completely innocent.Because all the experts above the sixth level in the Alliance were gathered in one place—the central hub of the Heavenly Network.This way, in any event, everyone could react and mobilize at lightning speed.However, the entire lineage of the Second Elder of the Leiju Sect had betrayed them, putting Wei Quan in an awkward position. Those people didn't completely trust him, so they sent Di Qi with them to deal with the remaining rebels.Di Qi was unaware of what Wei Quan was thinking.For the past few days, his mind had been filled with that look Shen Ji had given him.That look of contempt, like that of an ant.His eyes held a hint of contempt, even disgust.Not because of his low cultivation level.But because he had been aiding and abetting evil!He wanted to explain that he was a member of the Asura clan, and the Asura clan had given orders, putting him in a difficult position.He didn't truly believe it; he, Di Qi, wasn't that kind of person.But…The deed was done, and any explanation was meaningless.He had already done it; to still claim he wasn't that kind of person… hypocritical.The path of cultivation is nothing more than a few choices.Forward or backward, according to one's heart or against one's will.The price of following one's heart might be being hated and ostracized by one's clan.The price of going against one's heart is much smaller; it's merely sleepless nights.From childhood, Di Qi had always believed he would be the one who followed his heart.Until it actually happened, he didn't have the courage to say, "I don't think this is right."A simple "I had no choice" held no power.It was better to think about the path ahead, and how to make the choices that lay ahead.Now, the Azure Sky Clan has extended its reach into the mortal realm.Emperor Qi is acutely aware of this.It's here!The opportunity to prove his righteousness has arrived!But the timeline has arrived, yet the exact moment hasn't.Right now, he walks this path, believing that no matter what happens in the future, he will not act cowardly.But what if it actually happens?At this very moment.Wei Quan issues an order, summoning all disciples who have gone out to return.Those who don't arrive by the appointed time will be treated as rebels!They must be killed!Though the words are clear,Emperor Qi senses that something is amiss.He pulls himself out of his thoughts, glances up at the vast central square before him, and frowns slightly.Why does his aura feel so out of place here?Wei Quan is still giving a passionate speech.The disciples below the stage are all bowing their heads, their faces filled with anguish.But intuition tells Emperor Qi that something is wrong! An ordinary person's intuition might be a misperception.The intuition of a strong person, however, is often correct!Therefore, before taking action, he had been instructed to report immediately if anything seemed amiss.Emperor Qi prepared to send a message to the Heavenly Network Central Hub!But suddenly!The heavens and earth trembled!Emperor Qi looked up sharply.He saw a spatial rift suddenly appear in the distant sky.Emperor Qi's pupils contracted sharply!The aura of a celestial being emanated from it; a spatial force was about to destroy everything on this continent!Moreover, the opponent's power level and realm were higher than his own!But Emperor Qi did not hesitate. He charged forward, activating his Asura Dharma Form, standing tall and firm, intending to block all of Cang Hu's attacks with his own body!Cang Hu's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected the opponent to be so fast!?But he wasn't a fool like Ming Yuan.Military orders were paramount.Operate the attack, regardless of the outcome, turn around and leave!But suddenly...A cold laugh rang out from Cang Yunhu."Do you think the lives of this continent, this city, are enough to express our anger?"Cang Hu initially looked puzzled, then his pupils suddenly contracted.The Emperor Qi's Dharma Image, which had just supported the heavens, was suddenly severed in half by a powerful force!In that instant, Cang Hu reacted swiftly, immediately raising his hand to finish off this person in one fell swoop.Cang Yunhu was already poised to strike!On the earth.All beings looked up.The Emperor Qi's broad and towering Dharma Image protected them all.But they also clearly saw.This god's Dharma Image was severed in half by another god.Two even more powerful gods in the sky had already made their move.Three heaven-shattering forces unleashed towards Emperor Qi, aiming to take his life!The Asura Dharma Image vanished in the blink of an eye.The world-destroying energy was about to engulf this continent.The heavily wounded Di Qi floated in the air, the world seemingly silent for a moment.Di Qi's vision clouded, his mind echoing with those words:No matter what happens in the future, he will never again act against his conscience.His gaze suddenly focused, his crimson pupils locking onto the two Cang Clan members before him, and the traitor Wei Quan!His muscles bulged, veins popping!"Asura Soul! Beyond Limit!!"Thump thump thump thump...A dense, resounding drumbeat echoed throughout the heavens and earth!The previously collapsing Asura Dharma Form rapidly reformed.The power that should have engulfed the earth and taken lives was once again intercepted by the towering figure!Wei Quan's expression changed drastically.At this critical moment of life and death, Di Qi broke through to the eighth level of the Dao Fruit!In the sky, Cang Yunhu remained indifferent.Although his realm was suppressed, preventing him from displaying the power of a celestial being, he could still use celestial techniques."Annihilation!" Even those at the eighth level of the Dao Fruit realm must die!The galaxy annihilated into endless blackness the instant Cang Yunhu's magic was created. Then, with a mysterious finger gesture, all this blackness converged towards the Asura Dharma Image.The newly reconstituted Dharma Image cracked again and shattered.Emperor Seven's body was pierced by this profound black power, his pupils losing focus once more.He had used all his strength, yet he still failed the expectations of all living beings.The black power that pierced through Emperor Seven shot straight to the earth!Cang Yunhu's expression suddenly changed!A spring breeze swept by!A willow branch spanned the galaxy, embracing the annihilation and returning it to the heavens.Cang Yunhu's expression changed drastically: "Innate life?""Innate Qi!?"
