“Forget it,” Dongfang Hansong intervened. “They are no longer able to resist. Let’s spare their lives. They don’t have long to live anyway.”
“What useless compassion,” Baili Xukong sneered as he retracted his saber.
He lifted his hand, and two black bracelets floated toward Dongfang Hansong. “Even though you saved the Netherworld Sect by tipping me off about their intention to work with Chu Feng, I still don’t trust you. I can only trust you if you work with me to awaken the sacred item.”
Dongfang Hansong smiled. He put the two black bracelets on his wrists and said, “Let’s go.”
He opened the door.
Those standing outside were all Baili Xukong’s and Dongfang Hansong’s aides. They could see the pitiful plights that had befallen the six neutral elders, but none of them were surprised.
After all, they had aided in the channeling of the Netherworld Embryo Siphoning Formation and even absorbed a small portion of the six neutral elders’ powers.
Dongfang Hansong made his way toward the sacred item, and Baili Xukong followed him.
When they reached their destination, Dongfang Hansong channeled the two black bracelets to aid in the awakening of the sacred item, resulting in him taking on a portion of the sacred item’s backlash power.
“Do you trust me now? My values might diverge from yours, but my heart is with the Netherworld Sect,” Dongfang Hansong said.
“How do you think Chu Feng should be dealt with?” Baili Xukong asked.
“Chu Feng has to die, but before that, we should exploit his full value,” Dongfang Hansong replied.
“How so?”
“Those six might be foolish, but we shouldn’t deceive ourselves. The fact that Chu Feng obtained the Netherworld God Bestowment’s acknowledgment proves that he has near-perfect compatibility with his Netherworld Embryo. He will be of great help in the awakening of the sacred item.
“We can inform Jie Tianran of this matter and have him construct a formation to make use of Chu Feng’s Netherworld Embryo in the awakening of our sacred item before killing him. If you think it’s feasible, I’ll leave it to you to communicate with Jie Tianran. You two should have a way to reach each other, right?” Dongfang Hansong asked.
Baili Xukong pondered for a moment before replying, “Leave it to me.”
...
Meanwhile, Jie Tianran, by using all his means without any regard for the cost, reached God’s Era first.
He had gathered all members of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion to construct a defensive encirclement around God’s Era to ambush Chu Feng, but he soon realized that it would be hard to do so.
Chu Feng’s sword key allowed him to enter any one of the God’s Era’s three gates as long as he was within a certain distance of it. The distance was so big that it was impractical to seal off the entire area.
The ambush might work if Chu Feng was simply teleported to an area near God’s Era when leaving it, but there was no guarantee about that.
“Aren’t you going to enter, Jie Tianran?” the old entity inside Jie Tianran’s body asked.
“Let me observe a while longer,” Jie Tianran said.
He was not observing the God’s Era’s three gates but the Bloodline Galaxy’s phenomenon.
His observation formation allowed him to see across galaxies, but he could only see brief outlines of what was going on. He saw the Netherworld God’s silhouette in the Netherworld God Bestowment, as well as ripples of martial power, but he couldn’t see Chu Feng at all.
From that, he deduced that Chu Feng had gone to the phenomenon. The phenomenon was indeed Chu Feng’s weakness, perhaps concealing a huge secret of his. However, he couldn’t tell if the Netherworld Sect had successfully taken Chu Feng down.
After all his failed attempts, he couldn’t help but worry.
He was no longer confident of defeating Chu Feng if the latter competed with him in God’s Era.
“Didn’t you give Baili Xukong a communication talisman paper? He knows that you are concerned about this matter, so he should update you on whether they were successful in catching Chu Feng or not. You don’t need to keep an eye there. You are too far away to do anything about it anyway,” the old entity said.
“But I might not be able to receive Baili Xukong’s message once I enter God’s Era,” Jie Tianran said.
All of a sudden, he reached into his robe and took out a talisman paper. Spirit power rippled on the surface of the talisman paper, and soon, words appeared on it. It was a message from Baili Xukong.
“That useless thing. How can they let Chu Feng escape from their clutches despite having the upper hand?” Jie Tianran was infuriated.
The message confirmed that Chu Feng was there but had gotten away.
But soon, his anger morphed into shock and unease. He learned that Chu Feng had gained two allies capable of raising their cultivation to rank six Heavenly God level.
On top of that, the Netherworld Sect’s six neutral elders had discovered Chu Feng’s potential and wanted to help him deal with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. Fortunately, Baili Xukong had already crippled them and grew stronger as a result. He also proposed using Chu Feng to awaken the sacred item.
But overall, the message was still bad news for Jie Tianran.
“This isn’t good. It’s as if the Chu Clan Alliance has obtained God’s Era’s power. How are they growing so swiftly? This is ridiculous!
“It’s already ludicrous that Xianhai Yu’er is able to rival rank five Heavenly Gods as a rank one Heavenly God, but he now has rank six Heavenly Gods on his side as well. At this rate, it won’t be long before he has rank seven Heavenly Gods.
“I don’t think you’ll be able to deal with him if he has rank seven Heavenly Gods, right?” Jie Tianran asked the old entity.
The moment the Chu Clan Alliance had a rank seven Heavenly God, they would be as good as fish on the chopping board.
“Jie Tianran, if you lack confidence, you can give up on God’s Era’s power and go into hiding. Once I complete my formation, they won’t pose any threat to us even if one of them reaches rank seven Heavenly God,” the old entity said.
“Elder, how long will your formation take? Can you give me a timeline?” Jie Tianran asked.
“It should be soon, but I can’t give you an exact time,” the old entity replied.
“Elder, even though we have your formation as a backup plan, I can’t just let God’s Era’s final power fall into someone else’s hand. I have to go in there.”
Jie Tianran quickly made up his mind. He first issued some orders to his people before responding to Baili Xukong’s message. Then, he took out the sword key.
“Chu Feng, God’s Era’s final power is right before us. May the better one win.”
He activated the sword key.
Energy pulsated from the sword key and enveloped his body. He transformed into a surge of light that whizzed toward one of the God’s Era’s three gates.
