Chapter 661: Chapter 660: The Demon God is Dumbfounded, Why is the Celestial Tribulation Striking Us?
Three Divine Realm experts.
A dozen or so Emperor Realm experts.
Hundreds of Emperor Realm and King Realm experts.
The gazes of all the humans and Nibergen alike focused on the center of the battlefield.
There, a gleaming, round, golden egg had suddenly appeared?
"Who has so little decency, just leaving an egg lying around?!"
A Lord Level Nibergen couldn’t help but roar.
No human, nor any Nibergen, paid it any mind.
Because behind this egg was a sky-blotting mass of dark clouds and roiling purple lightning!
That was something that only appeared when one was ascending to the Divine Realm...
A Celestial Tribulation!!!
"Ling Han Demon God, this is your territory."
"What in the world is going on with this egg?"
The Chi You Demon God demanded in a low voice.
The Ling Han Demon God frowned. "I don’t know."
Even he wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
A Nibergen was about to ascend to godhood on his own territory.
And he was completely unaware?
’How am I supposed to keep my reputation after this?!’
However, there was one thing both the Chi You Demon God and the Ling Han Demon God were certain of.
This egg-shaped fellow on the verge of godhood could only be a Nibergen.
Have you ever seen a human ascend to godhood in the form of an egg?
So, while they were shocked, they weren’t panicked.
Gaining another Divine Realm ally was, all in all, a good thing.
In contrast, the despair on Qin Si’s face deepened.
He had just been about to trade his life to take down the two Demon Gods with him.
But now, the enemy was gaining another Divine Realm expert?
’How are we supposed to fight this?’
"In the end... we’ve still lost."
Qin Si murmured to himself.
"I wonder if the National Guardian Divine Mosquito has returned to Blue Star yet."
"He can use Space Law, and with the Spatial Crystal I gave him, getting back should be no problem."
"I just don’t know if he can still..."
Before he could finish the sentence, Qin Si’s eyes suddenly shot wide open.
A crack, the width of a fingernail, slowly appeared on the golden egg’s shell.
Then, the crack grew wider and wider.
"CRACK!"
A crisp shattering sound rang out.
The golden egg completely broke apart.
Golden fragments drifted down like snowflakes.
And in the center of the golden egg, a tiny, black mosquito was revealed?!!!
"How is it him???"
Qin Si, the Chi You Demon God, and the Ling Han Demon God all cried out in shock at the same time.
The Chi You Demon God whipped his head around, glared at the Ling Han Demon God, and asked angrily,
"Didn’t you say you already killed this mosquito?"
"How did he just pop out of the mountain cave now?"
The Ling Han Demon God’s mouth hung open, his face a mask of bewilderment and disbelief.
He didn’t know how to explain.
Chu Sheng had only been at the Emperor Realm back then.
For a Divine Realm expert like him, killing Chu Sheng should have been simpler than squashing a mosquito.
At that time, he had clearly sensed it.
The mosquito’s life force had completely vanished!
But now, his opponent was alive and well!
Seeing the Ling Han Demon God speechless, the Chi You Demon God grew even more furious.
"If you hadn’t told me this mosquito was already dead,"
"how could I have possibly given up the hunt?"
"Letting him live peacefully for another month."
"And on top of that, he even ascended to the Divine..."
As he said this, the Chi You Demon God suddenly paused.
He frowned, carefully sensing the aura on Chu Sheng’s body.
"That’s not right..."
"He’s not ascending to the Divine Realm, he’s..."
"Emperor Realm???"
The shock in the Chi You Demon God’s eyes deepened.
"How could ascending to the Emperor Realm possibly trigger a Celestial Tribulation?!!"
This completely overturned his understanding of the world.
From ancient times to the present, he had never heard of anyone triggering a Celestial Tribulation when ascending to the Emperor Realm.
The Ling Han Demon God couldn’t figure it out either.
However, both Demon Gods simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whatever. Even if a mosquito reaches the Emperor Realm, what kind of trouble can he possibly cause?"
"We can just swat him dead in a moment."
The two Demon Gods went from shock to relief.
Qin Si, on the other hand, went from elation to despair.
When he saw Chu Sheng emerge from the eggshell, he was overjoyed.
After all, one more Divine Realm expert would create a two-on-two situation.
That would give them a chance to charge into the cave and destroy the Corpse Fiend.
But he soon discovered that the aura emanating from Chu Sheng was only that of the Emperor Realm Early Stage.
And so, once again, he fell into despair.
Although he was extremely surprised that a mosquito could trigger a Celestial Tribulation just by ascending to the Emperor Realm,
in the current situation, an Emperor Realm expert, and a newly ascended one at that, was completely useless.
What was even more despairing was that now that Chu Sheng had been exposed, he could no longer escape.
The two Demon Gods had already locked onto Chu Sheng firmly.
’No, I have to create an opportunity for the National Guardian Divine Mosquito to escape.’
Qin Si no longer had the luxury of asking Chu Sheng why he hadn’t escaped as they had agreed.
He had only one thought in his mind now.
Even if he died, he had to get Chu Sheng back to Blue Star!
Only if Chu Sheng returned would Blue Star have a glimmer of hope for survival.
Without a shred of hesitation, Qin Si used Instant Teleportation to appear in front of Chu Sheng.
At this moment, Chu Sheng had just awoken from his complete evolution.
Qin Si said urgently, "Lord Divine Mosquito! I’ll hold off these two Demon Gods! You run!"
"Hmph! Run where?!"
The two Demon Gods clearly had no intention of letting Chu Sheng go.
They immediately flanked him from the left and right, instantly cutting off all of Chu Sheng’s escape routes!
"Lord Divine Mosquito, I can buy you five seconds."
"You must open a spatial tunnel and leave within these five seconds!"
Qin Si’s eyes were filled with determination as he prepared to burn his own life force and Divine Power without hesitation.
"The Celestial Tribulation has already sealed the space around the one undergoing it. You think he can still run?!"
The Chi You Demon God’s words plunged Qin Si into utter despair.
Panic clouds judgment.
Qin Si was so focused on getting Chu Sheng to escape that he had completely forgotten the rule that a Celestial Tribulation seals the space around the one undergoing it.
’It’s over!!!’
Just then, Chu Sheng spoke coolly.
"The words ’run away’ have never been in Lord Mosquito’s dictionary!"
"After I kill these two Demon Gods, we’ll head back to Blue Star in grand style!"
Huh???
Qin Si felt like he was listening to a fairytale.
After a moment of stupor, all he could do was shake his head and smile wryly, unable to say a word.
The situation had already deteriorated to the worst possible point.
Saying anything more was meaningless.
And when the two Demon Gods heard Chu Sheng declare he would kill them, they first exchanged a look of disbelief.
Then...
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"That’s hilarious!"
"I’ve lived for over ten thousand years and I’ve never heard such a funny joke."
"A little mosquito that just ascended to the Emperor Realm actually says he’s going to kill two Divine Realm experts!"
"I’ve heard people brag, but I’ve never heard someone brag about killing gods!"
The two Demon Gods’ unrestrained laughter soon spread across the entire battlefield.
All the Nibergen joined in, roaring with laughter.
As for the elites of the Human Race, their flushed faces showed nothing but despair and helplessness.
Qin Si gave a bitter smile. "Lord Divine Mosquito, why must you do this?"
Chu Sheng glanced up at the Celestial Tribulation brewing furiously in the sky and said nonchalantly,
"No rush. Let them laugh a little longer."
The moment his words fell,
"RUMBLE!!!"
The roiling thunder of the tribulation had finally finished gathering.
The first bolt of purple Celestial Thunder, as thick as a water bucket, crashed down.
The Nibergen, who were still laughing heartily, abruptly choked on their laughter.
And they couldn’t laugh anymore.
Because the target of the Celestial Tribulation wasn’t Chu Sheng at all.
It was...
all the Nibergen present!!!
’Why is the Celestial Tribulation striking us instead of the mosquito undergoing it?’
...
