The toad split its wide mouth, revealing a disgusting, fawning smile.
The Heavenly Venerate powerhouses from the various Heavenly Realms showed disdain and contempt in their eyes.
The powerhouses present were all peerless figures whose every stomp could shake the myriad realms.
Naturally, they looked down on the toad, a creature of low bloodline and treacherous nature, a fence-sitter.
But although they looked down on the toad.
The news it brought was of utmost importance to them.
"Good, since you can abandon the darkness and embrace the light, then helping you ascend to Heavenly Venerate is but a small matter. Quickly tell us the entrance to the battlefield of gods."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Upon hearing the Heavenly Venerate powerhouses promise to help it, the toad immediately revealed a smug joy.
This made the many powerhouses despise it even more.
If it weren't for the crucial intelligence they needed from the toad, they would have long ago slapped this disgusting, fawning toad to death.
"It's right here!"
The toad excitedly led the many peerless Heavenly Venerate powerhouses to a void. It then spun in place in a very strange manner for many circles. The powerhouses were all bewildered by this incredibly peculiar opening method, even beginning to suspect that this toad was playing them.
But unexpectedly.
This strange method actually worked.
The void tore open.
Revealing a dark, black passage.
A desolate, tragic, and fierce aura rushed out from within.
"My lords! Emperor Qingyun entered the battlefield of gods from here, and he has already found the core of the battlefield of gods and is about to control the entire遗迹秘藏 (ruins treasure hoard). He also said that this is a critical moment and no mistakes can be made, because the place he is in is both a great opportunity and a great danger to him. A slight misstep could lead to his eternal damnation and complete annihilation. Hurry and go!"
"What is that place called?"
An ancient Heavenly Venerate from the Heavenly Demon Realm asked.
"What is it called... what is it called Fengshen..."
The toad made a show of thinking hard.
"Fengshen Tai."
The ancient Heavenly Venerate from the Heavenly Demon Realm interjected.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's this Fengshen Tai!"
The toad patted its webbed feet.
"Everyone, now is the critical moment. The Fengshen Tai is the core of the core of the entire Twilight of the Gods battlefield, the crucial of the crucial. In the ancient冥古 (Nether Ancient) era, the gods initiated a world-shattering war to contend for this Fengshen Tai, and ultimately the entire epoch was annihilated in this peerless great battle. We absolutely cannot let Emperor Qingyun control the Fengshen Tai, otherwise, he can return to the ranks of the supreme powerhouses at any time. Of course! Now is also the best time for us to settle him completely. The Fengshen Tai can help one become a god, and it can also completely erase a person's past and future, making them truly disappear, with no chance of rebirth!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."
...
A group of ancient and powerful Heavenly Venerates stepped in one after another.
The toad also rubbed its hands excitedly.
It followed them in with a wagging tail.
...
At this moment.
Deep within the endless spatial turbulence.
This was a vast world that had been dead and silent for countless years.
It was filled with desolation.
The earth was cracked and the sky had collapsed.
Countless colossal corpses lay scattered across the mountains and plains.
Each corpse possessed an epic, colossal size, as if they were legendary beings from myths and legends.
And at the center of the entire world.
A nine-tiered altar of immeasurable height stood quietly at the peak of the world.
Even the eternal and boundless river of time could not inflict the slightest damage upon it.
It was as if this altar was an eternal and immortal existence.
On this massive nine-tiered altar.
A figure as small as an ant was climbing step by step.
He had already reached the eighth tier of the altar.
This person was Ling Fan, who had entered the battlefield of gods ahead of time.
In his previous life, he had entered the battlefield of gods more than once.
The Samsara Divine Cauldron was discovered by him in this battlefield.
Therefore, he did not expend much effort to enter this place; it was a familiar path.
"I wonder how that toad's acting is, whether the powerhouses from the various Heavenly Realms have been fooled."
The voice of the demon horse emanated from Ling Fan's body.
"Boss, I told you I should go. That toad is unreliable," the demon horse said somewhat indignantly.
"Oh, come on. That toad is clearly a cunning fellow, and his acting is up to par. If it were you, you would have ruined things. No one would believe that someone like you would betray them," Lu Jiugui's teasing voice sounded.
As they were chatting,
The sound of huge roars echoed from the distant sky.
It was as if some formidable existence was rapidly approaching.
Soon.
Ancient Heavenly Venerate powerhouses, whose auras suppressed the heavens, descended below the Fengshen Tai.
"It really is the Fengshen Tai, it really is Emperor Qingyun!"
The Heavenly Venerate giants who had entered the battlefield of gods cried out.
Ling Fan showed surprise and looked angrily at the toad behind the Heavenly Venerate giants: "I told you to guard the entrance, how dare you lead the enemy in and betray me! You damned toad."
The toad laughed heartily: "Emperor Qingyun, you brat, didn't you expect this? You deserve it! Who told you not to value me? Even if you keep a dog, you have to give it bones to eat, but you didn't even treat me as important. So I will betray you. Why should I do the hard, dirty, and tiring work, while I get no benefits? Heh, you want me to stand guard and be a dog for you, while you take that foolish horse and your women to enjoy the good life and benefits. Bah!"
The toad spoke with great pride.
Ling Fan was almost fooled by the toad's acting.
If he hadn't personally instructed the toad to do this.
He would have truly believed that this toad had betrayed him.
Seeing the toad's resentful and smug demeanor, the Heavenly Venerate giants became even more convinced.
Moreover, with so many Heavenly Venerate giants here now.
Even if Emperor Qingyun had any schemes, they would be futile.
What is called "one force conquers ten skills."
It could be said that Emperor Qingyun was already doomed.
"You good-for-nothing toad, you wait. When I ascend the Fengshen Tai and return to my peak, you'll be the first one I kill!" Ling Fan, on the eighth tier of the Fengshen Tai, appeared murderous.
The ancient Demon Venerate powerhouse sneered: "Heh heh, Emperor Qingyun, Emperor Qingyun, in your previous life, you died due to betrayal, and this time you have fallen into it again. But unfortunately, this time, you won't even have a chance to be reborn. This Fengshen Tai is not a place of kindness; it is enough to make you die the most!"
"Not good, could it be that your Heavenly Demon Realm has a way to communicate with this Fengshen Tai! I miscalculated!" Ling Fan's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly turned to ascend to the ninth tier.
"Everyone, join forces with our Heavenly Demon Realm to activate this Fengshen Tai and completely annihilate Emperor Qingyun here! Hahaha!"
Several ancient Heavenly Venerate giants from the Heavenly Demon Realm cackled sinisterly.
