Soon after, Chu Kuangren left the Ninth Continent.
He left the Heavenly Shadow behind to stand guard over his post.
After he left, the military advisor, An Zhixun's eyes lit up. He quickly took out his jade scroll and secretly contacted someone.
"Master, the Heavenly Sword has left the Ninth Continent."
"Oh, where has he gone to?"
"I'm not sure; he didn't say. However, his subordinate has stayed behind. I'm afraid that person will not be easy to deal with either."
"I'm much more aware of that compared to you. That person, huh… Hmph." The person on the other end of the jade scroll spoke as if he was familiar with the Heavenly Shadow.
"Alright, since the Heavenly Sword has left, let's proceed as planned. This time, I want him to feel what it's like to have your reputation plunged down the drain."
The person on the other end of the jade scroll snorted.
A few days after Chu Kuangren left the Ninth Continent, a terrifying aura suddenly appeared and enveloped the place.
Out of nowhere, dozens of people charged from the distance. Since they were all shrouded in Immortal Sparks, their appearances were hidden.
As soon as they arrived, they started wreaking havoc on the Ninth Continent.
It did not take long before one of the generals could not hold his position any longer.
"Heavenly Sword… Where's the Heavenly Sword?"
An Zhixun replied loudly, "The Heavenly Sword is not on the Ninth Continent!"
Everyone immediately fell into an uproar.
'What?'
'The Heavenly Sword is not on the Ninth Continent?'
'Where has he gone to?'
'Why has he neglected his post at a time like this?'
"Haha! The Heavenly Sword, huh? I can't believe he's so irresponsible. Today, the Ninth Continent will be destroyed because of the Heavenly Sword! It's his fault!"
"That's right. He's the one to blame."
The laughter of the attackers sounded from the sky.
At that moment, a figure rose into the sky.
It was the Heavenly Shadow who had taken action.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, a fiery light blocked his path.
"Oh, this aura… It's you."
Looking at the person shrouded within Immortal Sparks, a glint flashed in the Heavenly Shadow's eyes. That person was none other than the Thousand Flame God King, who fought him in the past.
"As for the other person…"
The Heavenly Shadow's gaze landed on everyone else, and he soon noticed another God King's aura, which he was also familiar with. It was someone present at the God King Meeting. He was the ancient God King from the Dao King Tribe, Mo Tianyin.
Back then, those cultivators expressed intense and obvious hostility toward Chu Kuangren.
The Heavenly Shadow remembered all of them.
Despite how well they concealed their identity, they still could not escape his eyes.
"You lot have taken the opportunity to cause trouble here while the Devil's Master is not around. Then, you'll blame the Devil's Master for neglecting his post. Am I right?"
The Heavenly Shadow quickly identified the attackers' motive, and a chilling look appeared in his eyes.
By then, a black demonic saber was already in his hand.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
The Thousand Flame God King, who was shrouded in Immortal Sparks, denied that comment.
"Hmph."
The Heavenly Shadow snorted coldly and attacked without another word!
As his Devil energy surged, the skies were lit up by the fiery and black demonic lights that tore apart the surroundings!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Mo Tianyin led the others and continued ransacking the Ninth Continent, leaving destruction and chaos in their path.
"Haha! You're in deep trouble now, Heavenly Sword! Once the Ninth Continent falls, let's see how you'll keep your position as general!"
Mo Tianyin secretly thought.
Just because he wanted Chu Kuangren to suffer, he and the others had gone as far as to attack the Ninth Continent.
However, just when Mo Tianyin was enjoying himself, a huge shadow suddenly appeared on the horizon. An incomparably dense and terrifying aura instantly enveloped all of the Ninth Continent, sending shivers down everyone's spine.
"What… What is this!"
"A planet?"
Everyone looked at the giant planet approaching and could not help but feel confused. Only the Heavenly Shadow alone smiled.
"I see. So the Devil's Master has foreseen that this would happen."
Upon hearing that, everyone was even more confused.
'This planet… Is the Heavenly Sword the reason for its appearance?'
"What is happening?"
Mo Tianyin and the Thousand Flame God King could feel an unprecedented threat from that ancient planet.
In the next instant, countless red dots of light appeared on the planet's surface.
When the countless light beams that had locked onto Mo Tianyin and the others were launched, it felt like the void was pierced open wherever the light beams went.
"This is bad. Move away now!" Mo Tianyin yelled.
Unfortunately, the others were one step too late.
All the attacking cultivators caught within the vicinity of the light beam did not even have the chance to resist and were pierced through mercilessly.
Even a God King like Mo Tianyin was forced back several meters.
"What the hell is that?"
Mo Tianyin looked at the ancient planet with immense shock.
Then, he raised his hand to channel his Daoist law and unleashed a domineering palm attack on the Ancient Armament Destruction Planet.
However, the black mist surrounding the ancient planet blocked the palm attack.
He could not believe he was not powerful enough to destroy the ancient planet!
"Let me try!"
The Thousand Flame God King roared and channeled his Daoist laws into a golden fireball. His attack, which was akin to a gigantic sun, was launched onto the ancient planet.
The size of that gigantic sun was almost the same as the Ancient Armament Destruction Planet. Following the intense collision caused by his attack, an explosion instantly erupted in the void.
Yet, when the smoke and dust settled, the Ancient Armament Destruction Planet was not damaged. On the contrary, it continued moving toward them.
Not only that, but countless red dots of light had lit up on the ancient planet's surface.
It was as if there were countless deadly pairs of eyes staring at Mo Tianyin and the Thousand Flame God King. Then, countless light beams shot out once again.
"Move away!"
Everyone's expression shifted.
However, the light beams were seemingly endless.
No matter how they ran or hid, they could not evade the attacks.
It did not take long before the two God Kings were injured.
"Retreat!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing the situation had changed, the Thousand Flame God King immediately decided to leave, and Mo Tianyin did not stay too long either.
The two of them quickly retreated.
However, on the Ancient Armament Destruction Planet, the Armament Destruction was looking at both of them. He quietly funneled the Ancient Armament Destruction Planet's power, releasing an even more terrifying light beam toward them.
That attack was locked onto Mo Tianyin.
Boom!
Following a terrifying scream and a huge explosion, the Dao inside Mo Tianyin was destroyed, causing him to die there and then.
The Thousand Flame God King was scared until his face turned pale. He frantically channeled his power and turned into a ray of fiery light, dashing into the distance.
The Ninth Continent's forces were terrified as they looked at the Ancient Armament Destruction Planet.
'What kind of existence is this?'
"Did the Heavenly Sword's subordinate mention that the Heavenly Sword arranged this? Did I hear him right?"
"Damn. So does that mean the Heavenly Sword is capable of controlling something powerful like this? This is simply unbelievable. How did he do it?"
"The Heavenly Sword is truly unpredictable. It seems like with him around, the Ninth Continent is as secure as an impenetrable fortress."
An Zhixun, who was standing in the crowd, looked terrified.
He could not believe the Heavenly Sword had something like that up his sleeve!
'Would he know that I betrayed him?'
'What should I do?'
The Heavenly Shadow snorted softly when he noticed An Zhixun's expression, but he did not care. After all, he would wait for Chu Kuangren to return for him to decide.
…
"Oh, the Thousand Flame God King and Mo Tianyin, huh? I can't believe those two worked together just to deal with me."
"Interesting."
"And also An Zhixun, the Ninth Continent's military advisor, a fence-sitter who sides with whoever gives him more benefits…"
Although Chu Kuangren was not on the Ninth Continent, he still had a clear grasp of the situation there. After all, he was the one who planned the Ancient Armament Destruction Planet's arrival.
He had summoned it to enter the Void Battlefield before he left.
Moreover, An Zhixun's betrayal was also within his expectations.
Although he despised that kind of person the most, someone like that would be useful alive.
"Oh well, I'll deal with it when I get back."
None of those were urgent matters for him. Soon, he arrived at his destination, the Thirteenth Continent.
"You've finally arrived, Chairman."
The Heavenly Roundtable member who was assigned here, Feng Qiyu, had come out to welcome his arrival.
