Chapter 1 When the Celestial King's Hand Reached Past the Drought Demon to Seize the Prize of the Melee

On the shore, Half-Face slowly stood up, the smile on his face growing thicker.

To be honest, he might have been in a state of hysteria half a day ago, his sense of self and value completely denied. But now, well, it seemed that after being continuously hit, he actually felt a little used to it.

Moreover, looking around, all were powerful figures, watching their "performance" here. He suddenly understood a truth:

Oh, so I'm not the only fool in this world.

This was truly a great comfort.

No wonder people like to live in groups, probably because when you feel stupid, looking around always brings solace.

However, there was one thing Half-Face didn't quite understand. What was Ying Gou's purpose in doing this?

This planning, this layout, this forbearance, had long surpassed that of the last Prefecture Lord.

And the last Prefecture Lord did it to survive.

So,

What about Ying Gou?

............

In front of the densely cracked mirror,

Grand Eunuch let out a long sigh. Although the Drought Demon had shown an unimaginable resilience in this process, it ultimately did not affect the overall situation or the outcome.

The Celestial King had achieved his goal.

Although Grand Eunuch didn't have much affection for the so-called Celestial King, that hand was, after all, transformed from his five younger brothers. He naturally didn't want anything to happen to them.

Little Seven and Little Eight also smiled.

Back then, they were first coerced by Ying Gou, and recently by the last Prefecture Lord. His brothers had sacrificed themselves one after another to preserve everyone.

This kind of suffocation and depression was indeed tormenting. In the future, they would no longer have to worry about this happening again.

............

"Tsk tsk, this matter, I always feel it's not very interesting, like listening to music or watching a play. The whole show must have ups and downs, twists and turns to be flavorful.

This scene in front of us, it's good to look at, with the proper grandeur, the proper arrogance, the proper domineering, the proper strength, but it's like a straightforward narrative all the way. The taste always makes people feel a little bland."

Song Emperor Yu smacked his lips. As a Yama King, this behavior was obviously unseemly, but after all, Yama King Bao was standing beside him, so there was no need to restrain himself.

"This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end well."

Previously, when the Nine Attendants rose to power, one was because there was a Bodhisattva sitting in charge, and the other was because Ying Gou swept through hell for the second time, directly leading to the fall of King Chu Jiang, and King Tai Shan also fell on the same day. The Yama Kings, who were not very united, could only pinch their noses and accept the reality of retreating.

In the past year or so, the old and new circles have been keeping to themselves, but for the Yama Kings who once held power in hell, it is precisely because they have tasted the taste of power that they will feel even more uncomfortable after losing it.

Therefore, when the last Prefecture Lord returned, the Yama Kings first sold out King Wuguan, and then all showed goodwill to the newly promoted King Pingdeng, hoping that everyone could return to the forefront under the protection of the last Prefecture Lord.

Now, with the return of the Celestial King's hand, hell is likely to usher in a new round of reshuffling. They, these old relics, were jumping so high a few days ago, haha...

Song Emperor Yu pinched his fingers in an orchid shape and began to sing:

"This is fate, this is fate~~~~~"

............

Each circle, each faction, believed that they had a clear understanding of the current situation.

They had already begun to prepare themselves mentally. After all, the strength of the Celestial King's hand was truly beyond words.

If the Celestial King could rely on that discarded shell of Ying Gou to avoid the upcoming tribulation of Xuanyuan Sword, then after that, the Celestial King might really be able to return completely. Even re-establishing the Celestial Court would not be impossible.

He who laughs last, laughs best.

Although in ancient times, the Celestial King had encountered two heroes, the Yellow Emperor and Ying Gou, in succession, and suffered two setbacks, he was now the ultimate victor.

However,

Even the sharpest gaze probably wouldn't notice that,

The Celestial King's fingers were trembling slightly at this moment.

............

"You really don't learn your lesson."

Zhou Ze, being gripped by the Celestial King's huge palm, gently shook his head. Then, the Celestial King's fingers began to slowly open, not because the Celestial King was actively letting go, but because Zhou Ze, who was being gripped by him, began to exert his strength.

"Buzz!!!"

Quickly, almost without thinking, the Celestial King, who had already realized that something was wrong, directly summoned heavenly punishment again!

In an instant, a tyrannical lightning that was several times stronger than when it struck the Drought Demon earlier was drawn down!

Everyone around, whether they were in the battle group or watching from the periphery, was startled by this scene. They hurriedly retreated to the outer perimeter.

The Drought Demon stood in place. She didn't move, because as the one who had truly fought the Celestial King earlier, she could feel the strangeness of the Celestial King's move.

At this time, the Drought Demon's gaze fell on Zhou Ze below again.

For some reason,

A strong feeling close to suffocation was gradually coming,

This emotional flow from the depths of her heart and even her soul inexplicably caused a slight flush to appear on the Drought Demon's originally cold face.

A woman's intuition is sometimes really terrifying, especially when it comes to the man she cares about.

The manic heavenly lightning, mixed with the aura of destroying the heavens and the earth, fell with overwhelming power!

............

In front of the cracked mirror,

Little Eight frowned slightly,

and said:

"Is the Celestial King going to take revenge directly?"

In their view, Ying Gou's discarded shell should be very useful for dealing with Xuanyuan Sword next, but the Celestial King was now directly summoning more heavenly punishments. This posture obviously meant that he wanted to make that discarded shell vanish into ashes in this heavenly might!

Little Seven also took a breath and asked in confusion, "Isn't the Celestial King being too impulsive?"

Although at the moment, that discarded shell could only be said to possibly help avoid the Xuanyuan Sword, and Ying Gou's protection of him before his death also highlighted his value from the side.

To destroy it like this... it's really a pity.

Grand Eunuch's expression sank. He hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth,

and said:

"The Celestial King naturally has the Celestial King's arrangements. This time, the Celestial King must have prepared everything.

How can we speculate on his thoughts?"

............

"Is he going to directly kill him?" Song Emperor Yu suddenly felt a little absurd and continued to ridicule, "This Celestial King, I don't know how many years have passed, but the long years have not been able to wear away his temperament."

"Perhaps he hates the crow and the house,"

Yama King Bao guessed.

Otherwise, you simply can't explain it. A group of powerful figures desperately competed for it, and some even died for it. As a result, you grabbed this prize and destroyed it without saying a word.

It can only be said that the hatred is bone-deep, and this hatred must be "whipped corpse" to dissipate some.

............

People on the outside will naturally be confused,

At this moment,

No one can really know the trembling in the Celestial King's heart at this time.

He dodged the Xuanyuan Sword before coming down, he grabbed this discarded shell,

However,

Until he really held it in his hand,

The Celestial King realized,

What exactly did he grab!

This was a subversion, a horror, a huge change that the Celestial King, who was wandering outside the Three Realms like a lonely ghost, had not anticipated at all!

Especially, this change occurred against the backdrop of Xuanyuan Sword just falling.

What shocked him even more was that since that person ascended to the sky and destroyed the immortals with a sword before his death, the first time he tried to return, he faced this person;

When he returned for the second time, and watched that person fall before appearing,

Unexpectedly,

This person,

Appeared in front of him again!

Zhou Ze raised his head and looked at the rolling thunder falling from the sky.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

It had been a long time,

Since he last ate thunder.

In his memory, this world was too stingy. There was a time when Ying Gou liked to use thunder as a dish.

In fact, thunder is really a good thing.

Whether it's for cooking or bathing, it's excellent.

It's just a pity,

Even if ordinary people attract thunder, the quality of that thunder is not very high, which always makes Ying Gou feel unsatisfied.

Once upon a time, Ying Gou had specially come to the human world from the Nether Sea, deliberately attracting the attention of the sky, and letting it send down thunder. Those days were truly enjoyable.

It was just that later, it seemed that the sky had discovered that it had been deceived, and instead, it only sent down the thunder from ordinary thunderstorms in the mortal world to敷衍 (fū yǎn - go through the motions).

For Ying Gou, it was really like tickling.

Therefore, Ying Gou had really not tasted thunder for a long time.

This is like a virus. The antivirus software tries its best to "kill" it back and forth, but it can't clear it in the end. Finally, it has no choice but to mark it as a "trusted" file.

What satisfies Ying Gou is that, from ancient times to the present, it is really difficult to find someone in this world who is better at attracting thunder than the Celestial King.

After all, to a certain extent, the Celestial King himself is equivalent to a kind of existence that embodies the will of heaven and earth.

Zhou Ze opened his mouth,

Above,

The surging and terrifying thunder seemed to be directly pinched by a pair of invisible giant hands. Countless manic thunderbolts were forcibly kneaded and gathered together. In the end, it actually turned into a trickle, flowing into Zhou Ze's open mouth.

And Zhou Ze's body also began to undergo new changes after swallowing this massive and terrifying thunder.

His body was being reshaped, using the power of thunder to reshape his body!

Gradually,

It seemed that continuing like this was a bit boring,

Like drinking alcohol without a small dish to go with it, no matter how good the wine is, it doesn't have that kind of flavor.

Zhou Ze's gaze swept around,

"Boom!"

A thunderbolt flew out from the trickle, and in the next moment, it directly pierced the Flood Dragon that had just intercepted the Drought Demon. The Flood Dragon's body was instantly destroyed, and its flesh and blood were wrapped up and integrated into the thunder, re-gathering into Zhou Ze's mouth.

Next,

It was a wolf demon and a ghost. Their bodies were also instantly destroyed, and their flesh and blood, along with their demonic energy and ghostly aura, were wrapped up and passed over.

The thunder was madly searching around with Zhou Ze's gaze,

Around,

The many powerful figures watching were now like a menu in front of Zhou Ze,

And what Zhou Ze was doing,

Was,

Ordering food.
