Chapter 254: Chapter 243 Dark Holy Banquet
The figure was shrouded in a black robe, surrounded by black smoke. Even when it fell out of the void, although Wang Xu had already guessed it, he couldn’t help but be greatly shocked in his heart.
Celestial God Realm.
Moreover, it was a person at the Celestial God Realm not weaker than the Shark Boat Tyrant Crocodile. No wonder he was being hunted down so miserably, almost without the power to resist.
Whoosh.
Dark chains fell from the black-robed person’s sleeves. Fierce Crow Celestial God withdrew his Hand of Nightmare and stood shoulder to shoulder with Chi Lian Celestial God, their flickering green flames staring at the black-robed figure.
"Mohe Cosmic Country... this matter has nothing to do with you, get lost!" A strange and low voice came from beneath the black robe, like the muffled roar of a beast. The black-robed person raised his head, and even though his eyes couldn’t be seen, the killing intent he emanated was palpable.
Faced with two people whose strength was not much different from his, the black-robed person still insisted on killing Wang Xu, which showed his determined intent to kill was evident.
"Senior, I don’t know what connection I have with you, why do you want to kill me?" Wang Xu asked, urgently wanting to know who exactly wanted him dead, even at the cost of sending a Celestial God Realm figure.
"Connection?" A hoarse laughter, like torn cloth, echoed in the void, "The connection between you and me... too much, enough to make you die at my hands, today you are doomed to die, the two of Mohe Cosmic Country, I advise you not to risk your lives for a mere Invincible White Hole Level, it will only harm you without profit."
Chi Lian Celestial God slightly moved forward, flames leaping at his fingertips, his gaze steady and firm: "This is a task assigned by the Sovereign, my mission is to protect the Gold Token holder, regardless of who you are or what forces stand behind you, you cannot kill Wang Xu in front of me."
Chi Lian Celestial God’s words reassured Wang Xu, filling him with gratitude.
Under normal circumstances, Chi Lian Celestial God had already fulfilled Wang Xu’s wish and retrieved the Gold Token, he could completely disregard Wang Xu.
He appeared at Wang Xu’s most perilous moment, firmly standing by Wang Xu’s side, this favor weighed as heavily as Mount Tai to Wang Xu!
"You will regret this!" The black-robed person said, his body suddenly surging with black smoke, transforming into strands of black mist enveloping him. With a wave of his hand, the dark chains Fierce Crow Celestial God had tightly gripped broke off of their own accord, swiftly flying back into the black-robed person’s hand, then constantly assembling, recomposing into a dark chain.
Threads of black smoke seeped into the dark chain, making its power even more formidable.
"Die!" The black-robed person swung the dark chain, and instantly a brilliant and resplendent Star River manifested in the void, vast as a million miles, crashing towards Wang Xu.
The black-robed person was entirely unafraid, intending to take on two alone.
"Fierce Crow, Seal!" Chi Lian Celestial God barely finished speaking when Fierce Crow Celestial God’s black robe fluttered, and a palm-sized black mountain peak flew out, rapidly expanding to a massive million miles, crashing down towards the black-robed person.
Divine-like aura pervaded, even Wang Xu could clearly feel a heavy sense weighing on his shoulders. This was a Divine Treasure, likely the key to Fierce Crow bringing back the Shark Boat Tyrant Crocodile alive.
The enormous mountain of a million miles crushed down, sealing the area per an area of a million miles, making instant movement or space-time travel impossible, and the Cosmic Energy became thick and sluggish.
Chi Lian Celestial God held a blood-colored saber, its edge as thin as a cicada’s wing, yet extremely sharp. With a slight movement, it split a narrow void crack, its sheer power astonishing.
Chi Lian Celestial God’s figure flickered, moving at ultimate speed, appearing behind the black-robed person in the blink of an eye, the cicada-wing-thin blood-colored saber slashing out fiercely.
The surging Power of Laws exploded, stirring Wang Xu’s heart, the Great Will of Light? No, it was the Law of Light!
Like Wang Xu’s Great Will, the Law of Light understood by Chi Lian Celestial God carried an intense breath of destruction. This strike was like the scythe of death wielding, bringing devastation before even touching the void as it already fractured, revealing a deep black void crack.
Chi Lian Celestial God and Fierce Crow Celestial God cooperated for countless ages, their timing perfect, leaving the black-robed person with no time to cope.
Boom!
A thick red beam burst forth, the million-mile black mountain collapsed, shattering the brilliantly splendid Star River into fragments, terrifying energy ripples spreading out, Wang Xu hurriedly retreated.
"Still not dead!" Wang Xu’s pupils contracted, feeling the lingering life force of the black-robed person, although diminished, it was still vigorous, astonishing him. To withstand such an onslaught and remain unscathed demonstrated the individual’s formidable power.
Boom boom boom boom...
The void continuously collapsed, as the three Celestial Gods clashed here, black smoke and red light interweaving.
Wang Xu stood upon the Cyan Blade, stopping billions of miles away, observing the grand battle from afar.
"Law... that is the Power of Laws, what they are using is a Perfect Secret Technique... Chi Lian Celestial God’s strike, terrifying, unbelievably terrifying!" In Wang Xu’s eyes, a gleam shone, witnessing the battle of the three Celestial Gods greatly benefiting him, bits of comprehension emerging in his mind.
Whoosh!
The black-robed person surged from the battlefield, enveloped in thick black smoke, greatly enhancing his power, rushing at Wang Xu at a speed beyond light speed. But Wang Xu was already billions of miles away, even if the black-robed person’s speed surpassed light speed, he could still not instantly catch up with Wang Xu.
"Damn it!" The black-robed figure saw Wang Xu turn and hastily flee. At the same time, a million-mile black mountain descended upon him, sealing the space and affecting his speed. He couldn’t help but let out an unwilling roar.
If it were a single Celestial God Realm warrior, the black-robed figure might still have a chance to kill Wang Xu, but under the protection of two Celestial God Realm warriors, he had absolutely no chance.
This assassination had been executed to perfection, just a hair’s breadth away from killing Wang Xu and completing the mission.
It’s all because of these two damn people!
The black-robed figure violently flung the black chain in his hands and threw a piece of black jade. Ripples spread through the void as he stepped into it and vanished, the black mountain and the blood-colored saber as thin as a cicada’s wing all struck empty space.
...
The black-robed figure gave up. In such an encirclement, there was not the slightest chance to kill Wang Xu. If he waited for the black smoke to exhaust, he wouldn’t even have a chance to survive.
"Escaped?" Wang Xu observed this scene and let out a long sigh of relief.
This was the most thrilling slaughter he had ever experienced. Previously, regardless of the intense combat, even if he felt the fear of impending defeat and death, at least he knew how he would die. There was enough time to reflect on the past.
But under the attack of this black-robed man’s assault, he barely had time to think. Suddenly, the fear of death flooded over him, spreading through his entire being, causing Wang Xu to feel despair. At that moment, he was truly terrified, terrified that he wouldn’t even know how he died or whose hands he perished under.
"Wang Xu." Chi Lian Celestial God and Fierce Crow Celestial God flew over.
"Thank you, venerable sirs." Wang Xu respectfully and gratefully performed a grand gesture of homage.
This gesture came from the heart. The immense favor of saving his life was something Wang Xu would remember forever.
"Don’t thank me just yet. You’ve gotten yourself into big trouble this time." Chi Lian Celestial God’s brows furrowed, while Fierce Crow Celestial God remained silent.
Wang Xu’s heart sank, and he immediately asked, "Please, wise one, tell me."
"Have you heard of the Dark Holy Banquet?" Chi Lian Celestial God said.
Dark Holy Banquet!
Wang Xu nodded, "Senior, are you referring to those marked with dark markings?"
People from the Dark Holy Banquet—Wang Xu had not only seen them but had also personally killed one. Back on Miao Luo Star, while dealing with the Ziwei Clan, he had intended merely to intimidate them with power, but unexpectedly, Zwiedik summoned an invincible White Hole level being. Wang Xu killed him on the spot and found a Law Contract mentioning the words "Dark Holy Banquet."
"Yes, it seems you’ve already encountered them," Chi Lian Celestial God said. "The Dark Holy Banquet is an extremely terrifying and powerful entity. It seems this time we’ve really stirred up a catastrophe."
"Venerable, could you tell me more about the Dark Holy Banquet?" Wang Xu felt a prick in his heart. Even Chi Lian Celestial God had spoken of it in such terms. Evidently, this organization known as the Dark Holy Banquet was incredibly influential. Though Wang Xu had narrowly escaped this time, more formidable assassins would invariably come after him in the future. To survive, Wang Xu needed to fully understand them.
"Let’s board the warship first; I’ll take you back to Tai Long." Chi Lian Celestial God waved his hand and a Dream Level warship appeared. After the three boarded, they immediately initiated a space-time jump, heading for Tai Long Cosmic Country.
...
"Dark Holy Banquet, I initially had no knowledge of this force either, but later I learned from the cosmic history books. It was once an incredibly illustrious force, its founder being the ’Dark Saint Venerable,’ standing at the pinnacle of the cosmos; no one was his rival," Chi Lian Celestial God said.
Wang Xu was astonished in his heart—an invincible existence in the cosmos? The founder of this dark force was actually this terrifying! However...
"I know what you’re thinking." Chi Lian Celestial God continued, "The Dark Saint Venerable was invincible in the cosmos, and the Dark Holy Banquet was reputed across the entire cosmos like the Three Great Forces; everyone knew them... Once, the Dark Holy Banquet was indeed like this, the entire cosmos had heard their name, even feeling fearful of it."
"Because the Dark Holy Banquet initiated a cosmic war, using the power of a single force against the entire cosmos!"
Wang Xu’s body trembled, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Cosmic war... Isn’t that referring to the terrifying war mentioned by the Endless Saint Venerable, Tai Long, and the Immortal Saint Venerable?
Could it be... that the Dark Holy Banquet was the initiator of that war?
Thinking of this, no matter how composed Wang Xu’s emotions were, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
This colossus, once against the entire cosmos, actually sent assassins to eliminate him. Could it be because I killed one of their invincible White Hole level members?
Wang Xu’s mind was unsettled, feeling a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to to read.)
