Chapter 676: Chapter 675: The Mosquito Daoist’s Deterrence Scares the Sakura Ancient God Away
"Xue, help me this once."
Chu Sheng’s expression was incredibly grave.
Perhaps because they were both Gu Yuexi’s Beast Pets, Xue and Chu Sheng seemed to share a telepathic connection.
She immediately understood what Chu Sheng meant.
"Mm!"
Xue nodded firmly.
She reached out her small hand and took hold of Chu Sheng’s foreleg.
She began to channel her Time Law with all her might.
At the same time, Chu Sheng also pushed his own Time Law to its absolute limit.
He gave Iyaki and Iyami a cold glance
and shouted in a deep voice,
"CYCLE! OF! TIME! REVERSAL!"
Iyaki and Iyami hadn’t yet realized what Chu Sheng was about to do.
Suddenly, they felt everything around them begin to blur.
Time was actually reversing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Time Law!!!"
Iyaki and Iyami’s eyes widened in shock simultaneously.
They had lived for millions of years.
Of course they knew how terrifying the Time Law was.
They had never imagined it.
That a tiny mosquito and a nine-year-old girl
had not only comprehended the most mysterious and unfathomable of all Laws—the Time Law—
but could also turn back time itself!
Even among the Divine Realm experts who had comprehended the Time Law,
they had never heard of anyone who could truly reverse time!
In the instant they were reeling from shock,
the hands of time had already been turned back two minutes.
The bloody, brutal streets vanished.
Collapsed houses stood tall once more.
The bodies on the ground all disappeared.
In their place were bustling crowds.
Millions of Kyoto’s citizens were standing on the streets,
pointing at the Sakura Ancient Gods in the sky and cursing loudly.
"Hand over our National Guardian Divine Mosquito? In your dreams!!!"
"Sakura dogs, get out of Great Xia!!!"
"Down with the Sakura Ancient Gods! Make them join their descendants in death!!!"
"Death before surrender!!!"
The ordinary citizens didn’t know what had just happened.
They only felt a flicker before their eyes,
as if something had changed.
But they couldn’t put their finger on what it was.
Only the newly "resurrected" Li Guanlan, Lin Yuehua, and Feng Wuji...
As Emperor Realm experts, they vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the flow of time.
Especially when they saw the panting Chu Sheng and Xue in the sky.
They immediately deduced that Chu Sheng must have used the power of the Time Law
to pull them back from the brink of death.
"Lord Divine Mosquito, why did you have to come back here just to die?"
Lin Yuehua shook her head with a bitter smile.
Although the three of them, all Emperor Realm experts, had been revived,
they still couldn’t defeat Iyaki and Iyami.
The result would be that they’d just have to die all over again.
No matter how strong Chu Sheng was, he couldn’t possibly use his Time Law’s reversal ability again after such a short interval.
Instead, Chu Sheng himself would also perish here.
"Who said Lord Mosquito came here to die?"
Chu Sheng waved a foreleg dismissively.
"Lord Mosquito doesn’t even spare a glance for a couple of Sakura dogs."
Having lived for millions of years, this was the first time Iyaki had ever been looked down upon by a mosquito.
He trembled with rage.
"Damn mosquito, you’re courting death!"
"Today, this god will have you accompany the Sakura Empire..."
"TO THE GRAVE!!!"
With that, Iyaki directly unfurled his Divine Domain.
A terrifying, divine power pressed down on Chu Sheng.
Just then,
an ancient, boundless, and supremely domineering pressure suddenly erupted from Chu Sheng.
It wasn’t the suppression of a higher Realm.
Rather, it was the absolute contempt of a superior being for an inferior one, originating from the very depths of his Bloodline.
Iyaki and Iyami’s expressions changed drastically at the same time.
They stood bolt upright in shock, staring at Chu Sheng in disbelief.
Their bodies began to tremble involuntarily.
"This is..."
Iyaki’s eyes were wide, his teeth chattering.
He stammered for a long moment before finally forcing out the rest of the sentence.
"The aura of the Mosquito Daoist?!!!"
As Ancient Gods who had survived since the Divine Revelation Era,
they had of course heard of the great name of the Mosquito Daoist.
That was a mighty figure from the Ancient Times, or perhaps even the Primordial Era!
In the presence of the Mosquito Daoist, so-called Ancient Gods like them weren’t even worth a scallion!
If the real Mosquito Daoist were standing here,
a single glance from him could turn them to ash!
Iyami cried out involuntarily, "You’re just an ordinary White-striped Aedes Mosquito! How can you have the aura of the Mosquito Daoist?!!!"
Li Guanlan, Lin Yuehua, and Feng Wuji looked at each other in dismay.
They had never heard of the Mosquito Daoist.
But from the utterly terrified expressions on Iyaki and Iyami’s faces, it wasn’t hard to tell
just how terrifying a figure this so-called Mosquito Daoist was.
’Could it be... that the National Guardian Divine Mosquito is the one who’s been hiding his true power the most?’
The same thought surfaced in all three of their minds at once.
Facing the shared shock of both his allies and his enemies,
Chu Sheng merely waved a foreleg nonchalantly.
"If Lord Mosquito didn’t have an earth-shattering background,"
"how could I have possibly advanced from nothing to the Emperor Realm in less than two years?"
"Originally, Lord Mosquito just wanted to be a low-key mosquito and not reveal my identity."
"But you Sakura have gone too far."
"You’ve provoked Lord Mosquito again and again."
"Do you really think you’re so impressive just because you’ve lived a long time?"
"Before Lord Mosquito, you so-called Ancient Gods don’t even count as great-grandchildren!"
Chu Sheng rattled off his tirade.
The more Iyaki and Iyami listened, the more frightened they became.
And the more certain they were
that the Mosquito Daoist was definitely standing behind Chu Sheng.
Although rumors claimed the Mosquito Daoist had long since perished, his Dao extinguished,
how could a mighty figure of that caliber possibly not leave some tricks up his sleeve!
Any random trick he left behind could easily pin them to the ground and wipe the floor with them!
But Iyaki and Iyami were extremely unwilling to just retreat in disgrace like this.
If they attacked, they feared Chu Sheng would actually use one of the Mosquito Daoist’s hidden tricks.
Just as they were hesitating, wondering whether to continue fighting or flee immediately,
Chu Sheng’s next words made them choose instantly.
"Iyaki, and Iyami, is it."
Chu Sheng looked at them coldly.
"You will listen to Lord Mosquito."
"In three days, Lord Mosquito will personally pay a visit to your East Japan Divine Domain."
"When that time comes, we will settle all our scores, new and old."
"Whatever skills you have, feel free to use them."
"Lord Mosquito will take them all on."
Iyaki and Iyami glanced at each other
and both saw a look of relief in the other’s eyes.
Their goal had been to kill Chu Sheng all along.
If they fought here,
and if Chu Sheng really did have one of the Mosquito Daoist’s tricks, they would be utterly unable to stop it.
But in the East Japan Divine Domain...
...that was their home turf.
Dozens of other Sakura Ancient Gods were stationed there.
With so many Ancient Gods attacking together,
they were certain they could kill him, even if he really did have one of the Mosquito Daoist’s tricks.
Since Chu Sheng was willing to walk right into their den to die,
Iyaki and Iyami unhesitatingly chose this safer path.
"Fine! We’ll be waiting for you!"
Iyaki left them with this harsh parting shot.
Then, together with Iyami, he tore open a spatial rift
and walked through without a backward glance.
They vanished from the skies above Kyoto.
’Damn, finally scared them off.’
Confirming that the Sakura Ancient Gods had left,
Chu Sheng heaved a long sigh of relief and deactivated the special ability, "Aura of the Mosquito Daoist."
’If we had really fought here,’
’I would have had no choice but to bring the Big Black Dog and Qin Si over from the Witch Race.’
’The moment they appeared in Kyoto, they would immediately trigger a Celestial Tribulation from the Forbidden God Law.’
’Then I would use the Heaven-Deceiving Star Shifting Technique to divert the Celestial Tribulation onto Iyaki and Iyami.’
’Even if it didn’t kill them, it would have at least skinned them alive.’
’But if I used that method,’
’all of Kyoto would become a battlefield.’
’The ordinary citizens would have absolutely no chance of surviving a battle between Divine Realm experts.’
As for three days from now...
Chu Sheng had been planning to go to the East Japan Divine Domain all along
to completely eliminate the menace that was Sakura.
He just needed to make some preparations before he went.
「Meanwhile.」
In an ordinary courtyard somewhere in Great Xia,
Old Director Lu Lingchen raised the teacup in his hand
and offered a distant toast in the direction of Kyoto.
He gazed at the sky outside the window, his eyes profound.
He spoke slowly.
"The final battle... is about to begin."
