Chapter 2398 - The Decisive Battle Part 6

Standing on a nearby roof, Wang Chong could see several familiar figures: ‘Zhang Que’, ‘Xu Keyi’, ‘Old Eagle’... they were all busy attending to the guests. He even saw ‘Golden Guards’ from the imperial household at the gate.

Wang Chong even saw people similar to his ‘mother’, ‘little sister’, ‘big brother’, and ‘second brother’. These people had normal expressions, but past their smiling faces, he could see their slack and unfocused eyes.

Wang Chong couldn’t even sense the pulses of a soul a normal person should have.

Farther inside, Wang Chong even saw the groom, ‘Wang Chong’, wearing a bright red robe.

Wang Chong was not at all unfamiliar with this kind of ability.

Wang Chong suddenly raised his head to the night sky and sternly said, “Heaven, come out!”

But all was quiet, and there was no response. Even the nearby ‘King of Foreign Lands Residence’ was as normal, everyone continuing to follow the ‘script’, their words unchanged. It appeared that they had not heard Wang Chong.

Bang!

Wang Chong’s expression chilled, and he extended a hand. The empty shell that was ‘Wang Chong’ immediately exploded. At the same time, Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy rumbled out like floodwaters, flowing into the earth.

The earth rumbled, and the King of Foreign Lands Residence, and even the entire capital, trembled as if on the verge of collapse.

“Hahaha, do you not even have this little patience?”

Laughter came from the skies, and as the voice rang out...

Boom!

A bolt of lightning came out of the darkness, the winds howled, and thunder rumbled. A dazzling golden pillar of light more than three hundred feet in diameter descended from the heavens, slamming into the King of Foreign Lands Residence. The shuddering instantly subsided, and everything returned to normal.

Across from Wang Chong, the dazzling light disappeared, leaving behind a golden ball of light floating in the darkness, and in the center of this golden ball was a blurry black figure.

This was Heaven!

Buzz!

As Heaven appeared, the air instantly tensed.

Powerful!

Incredibly powerful!

The destructive torrents emerging from Heaven’s body filled the world. At this moment, Heaven appeared like a dangerous, world-destroying demon god.

Though Wang Chong had been trying to track down Heaven this entire time, when he finally saw Heaven, his entire body tensed as he mustered all his energy.

“You wanted to see Us, Wang Chong, and We have fulfilled your wish!”

Heaven’s voice resounded through the world. A moment later, that dazzling golden light parted like water. In the center of the light, Heaven’s indistinct black silhouette slowly walked out, revealing to Wang Chong for the first time his physical body.

At this moment, even Wang Chong couldn’t take his eyes away.

But different from what he imagined, the figure in the golden light was not tall and majestic. Rather, it was the graceful and seductive figure of a woman.

When Heaven revealed himself, the world fell quiet, time seeming to stop.

Buzz!

But with one glance, Wang Chong’s pupils constricted as if he had been jabbed, and his face contorted and reddened in rage.

“Bastard!!”

Killing intent erupted out, and the buildings for several thousand feet around Wang Chong collapsed, instantly turning into powder. Even the ‘King of Foreign Lands Residence’ around Heaven shuddered, though Heaven quickly suppressed it.

“Heh! Is it really necessary to be this angry?”

Heaven smirked as he took several steps forward.

Different from what was imagined, Heaven was not some muscular man, or any man at all. He was wearing a white dress with drifting sleeves and bore the appearance of a peerless beauty. As the gentle breeze rustled his robes, he appeared like a fairy that had descended from the heavens.

But what Wang Chong cared about was this woman’s face. No matter how long had passed, even if it was in his dreams, Wang Chong could instantly recognize that familiar face.

Xu Qiqin!

Wang Chong had never imagined that the figure emerging from the golden light would be the person he had been seeking to save for three years, Xu Qiqin.

But this Xu Qiqin had a completely different bearing from what Wang Chong remembered. She lacked the gentleness and kindness that he remembered. She now seemed cold, aloof, and estranged.

At the center of her forehead was a mysterious and exquisite golden character, making Xu Qiqin seem even colder and more enigmatic.

But while Xu Qiqin was still ‘Xu Qiqin’, everything had changed.

When he saw that pair of strange eyes, he instantly knew that the one controlling the body was not Xu Qiqin, but Heaven!

He had been searching for Xu Qiqin this whole time, hoping to save her, even following Heaven all the way from the Turkic steppe to this spacetime maze, but unimaginably, she had been in front of him this whole time.

From the very moment he descended, Heaven had been controlling her body right in front of him.

“A sovereign does not speak lightly. We have already spoken, and so We naturally have done so!”

‘Xu Qiqin’ slowly stepped forward, her face as beautiful as always.

“Release her!” Wang Chong grimly said, his fists clenched. Though he was growing more furious and murderous by the second, his mind grew only calmer and calmer.

Anger would not get him anything. At times like these, a calm mind was even more of a necessity.

Wang Chong was keenly aware that angering him was exactly what Heaven wanted.

“Angry?”

‘Xu Qiqin’, or ‘Heaven’, simply chuckled, shaking that beautiful and aloof head.

“You’ve already reached the half-step Divine Martial and have fathomed the laws of time, but you still cling to these mortal desires. Have you yet to glimpse the foundation of this world? Man? Woman? What is the difference?

“At our level of cultivation, our souls and bodies are immortal, and we can even give up our bodies at any time. In the end, a physical body is merely a container for the soul. Don’t you have three Divine Embryo clones? Can you not even understand this truth?”

“What are you trying to do?”

Wang Chong stared at Heaven, his expression growing colder and colder.

“Do you recall what We said to you in the Celestial Palace?” Heaven indifferently said, his voice continuing to rumble. But this time, there was a somewhat different tone to his voice.

“Before We strike, We will give you one last chance.

“Whether you are the Child of Destruction or the Child of Prophecy, you are no match for Us. The seal has been broken, and there is no one left in this world that can oppose Us!

“But We acknowledge your talent.

“Half-step Divine Martial, and three clones! In this short period of time, you have succeeded in creating four half-step Divine Martial realm experts. Although you have not truly reached the Divine Martial realm, in terms of pure talent, no one except Us and Li Taiyi can compare. Even Li Taiyi would not be able to create three half-step Divine Martial realm clones. Although We have numerous experts under Our command, including the twelve Supremes, not one of them has ever achieved such a feat!

“We cherish talented individuals and do not wish to strangle such a talent. If you are willing to join Us, We can spare your life, even make you the deputy leader of the Celestial God Organization. We can even return this woman to you.

“If you like her so much, We can even personally preside over your wedding. Is not the respect of the Celestial Emperor superior to that mortal Emperor? This will also be considered fulfilling one of your regrets. And all that you see, all this celebration, can become reality. We destroyed your wedding, but We can give you an even grander wedding. Is that not better than your current situation?”

Heaven spread out his arms and sternly said, “Thus, answer Us. Are you willing?”

Heaven stared at Wang Chong’s body.

The capital grew quiet and still, as if time had stopped. All sound had disappeared.

But barely after Heaven had spoken, Wang Chong gave his reply. “There’s no need!

“If you are saying that I should join you in destroying world after world, civilization after civilization, my answer will be the same as ever: impossible! Never!”

These words were spoken with such iron resolve that Heaven couldn’t help but pale.

“In addition, there’s one other thing that you’re wrong about!” Wang Chong sternly said.

“What?” Heaven blurted out, narrowing his eyes.

“No one was able to defeat you in the past, but that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. In addition, I will take back what is mine!”

Bang!

As he spoke, Wang Chong disappeared.

A split-second later, a terrifying Psychic Energy erupted from the right of Heaven, shooting like a bolt of lightning at Heaven’s mind.

Wang Chong hadn’t just been standing around while Heaven was talking.

This Psychic Energy had been hiding in the void for a long time, and only now was it suddenly unleashed.

Xu Qiqin’s body could not be harmed, so Wang Chong had chosen to attack Heaven’s soul.

But Heaven’s response was entirely different from what was expected.

Bang!

When that Psychic Energy was still several feet away from Heaven’s body, a hazy light erupted from the center of Heaven’s forehead, and Wang Chong’s immense Psychic Energy was instantly frozen in place.

That hazy light rapidly began to spread, throwing the surrounding several thousand feet into disarray, and even the flow of time.

Boom!

With a boom, like a receding tide, time in this area began to reverse, and everything became as it was before Wang Chong had made his attack, including his Psychic Energy. It was like he had never attacked before.

Wang Chong instantly grimaced at this sight.

“Time stands above all spatial laws. Although you have comprehended a portion of the power of time and reached the half-step Divine Martial realm, your time power is still too meager. It cannot contend with me!”

Heaven floated in the sky and smirked at Wang Chong. Immense pulses of energy radiated out from him, causing the miniature capital and the spacetime maze to buzz and tremble.

His right hand opened, and five golden pearls of light appeared, each one pulsating with time energy.
