Chapter 795: Delivered To Death
How fast! Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat and looked at the Astral Envoys that were standing on the decks of the warships.
The Astral Envoys visualized many huge gates in front of the warships. These warships would sail through them and reappear at the other end of space.
Bo Di was the Great Sun Demon Crow, the innate demon god's blood flowed in his veins. Thus, he was as fast as the speed of light, but the Zhu Shi Celestial Race's Astral Envoys seem to control a mystical method to bend dimensions.
Isn't this... it sure is... our Fuxi Clan's [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture]!
Zhong Yue's face turned solemn. The Zhu Shi Celestial Race's teleportation technique was deeply associated with the space totem patterns of a high degree of profundity; space totem patterns of such a level had only ever been reached by the Fuxi Clan!
The gates contained totem patterns incredibly similar to the Fuxi Clan's [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture]. One could say that they were almost a full replication of it!
However, the gates only had the space totem patterns and not the time totem patterns. Furthermore, the usage of the gates' space totem patterns was crude and unrefined unlike the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] that could be cast without any medium but the cultivator's thoughts. Thus, the Astral Envoys had to visualize the gates to use them.
Thus, it was clear that the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] they had acquired was incomplete, not even the full space totem patterns.
However, those that were attained was more than enough to be used in space traveling.
The [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] was one of the Fuxi Clan's top secrets, undisclosed to even the ordinary clansmen. How did it end up in the hands of the Zhu Shi Celestial Race?
Xin Huo, the only one who knew the full [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], had been in slumber for 730,000 years. Thus, the only explanation was that other than Xin Huo, there were still a few in the clan that knew the cultivation art, but were all flawed and incomplete, unlike Xin Huo's.
The Zhu Shi Celestial Race must've somehow gotten it from the clansmen or the experts that reincarnated themselves in the Fuxi.
Zhong Yue squinted his eyes. The Zhu Shi Celestial Race was the fastest in the field and the experts in the armada outnumbered them greatly. If they were caught up to by the Zhu Shi Celestial Race, none would be able to walk out alive!
Even a Deity Overlord alone could slaughter them!
Although Zhong Yue was able to bring Bo Di and the others out from the predicament, that would only come at the dearly cost of exposing his identity.
He had cultivated the complete [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] and was at a level where he could teleportation over short distances without the need of the totem pillars. Even though it was just a short distance, it was more than sufficient to bring them out from the claws of death.
However, with him casting the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], it posed a risk that if anyone ever recognized the cultivation art, he would be exposed immediately.
Just thinking of how hard it was to hide his identity, how could he possibly take the risk and put everything he had done in vain?
Hmph, but you people dare to cast the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] in front of me, not to mention a -flawed and incomplete version of it? Zhong Yue took a cursory glance around and saw a glaring sun in the corner of his eyes, and an idea flashed into mind.
As the armada sailed across, there were beams of light that rained down on them; they were all skills there were launched from the warships!
On the deck of one of the many warships, Royal Prince Wen Chang and Weapon Ancestor were closely watching the development of the situation.
The Weapon Ancestor's eye sockets were still empty, his eyeballs were missing as Zhong Yue had sealed them away when he was in his weapon form.
The seals were extremely knotty, they were placed such that the Weapon Ancestor's cultivation's weaknesses were specifically targeted on. Even though he was a Creator in his past life, the Weapon Ancestor still struggled to break the seals.
However, although his flesh eyes were sealed, he still had his Yuan Shen's eyes to see.
"Your Highness, is the Zhu Shi Celestial Race's power satisfying enough?" Weapon Ancestor smiled as he asked.
Knotty and troublesome, but the seals didn't bother him at all as he was confident of being able to lift them sooner or later.
Royal Prince Wen Chang answered placidly, "War-ready soldiers and well-prepared reserves. You do indeed have a strong armada."
All of a sudden, a sea of lightning emerged out of thin air as Zhong Yue drew a line across them and the armada. The countless skills raining down at them were blocked by the lightning sea and stalled the incoming attacks before shattering apart a split second later.
But that split second was enough for Bo Di to flash out and leave the remaining skills behind him.
"This Mister Yi, he is exceptional. His attainments in lightning are no weaker than the pureblood Leizhe." Royal Prince Wen Chang praised, "My appreciation toward his talents grows by the second."
Zhong Yue flourished his hand like an artist painting in the starry space, raised the lightning seas between them and the armada. The fleet of warships sailed straight into the lightning sea and crushed their way out of it.
The warships sailed in the midst of the lightning seas no different than any other casual sails. No matter how vigorous the lightning waves pounced on them, the warships were left with not even a single scar.
Meanwhile, the Astray Envoys visualized the gates above them which the gates then slammed down into the lightning seas and cleared the lightning waves around the impact area.
The Astray Envoys maintained the gates as the warships sailed into it. Unknowingly to them, there was lightning that had furtively flashed and disappeared into the structure of the gates, recombining themselves with the gates' totem patterns.
Then, the warships sailed the gates and they all disappeared from the lightning seas.
Zhong Yue turned back and kept mum. Moments later, he shook and mumbled, "These hundred thousand of lives are done for. I never wanted this, but I'm left with no choice as if I don't, they'll kill us."
Beside him, Dong Ah, Xi He, and the others were puzzled, they asked, "Mister, what hundred thousand of lives?"
Zhong Yue shook again, not answering their questions.
Krong————
On the other end of space, the gates emerged out of nowhere and the dimensional space tunnel was opened. The warships sailed out of the gates and immediately, the Zhu Shi gods were filled with immense terror as they found the warships and gates melting in the midst of the boundless sunfire!
"Why were we teleported into the sun?!" The gods plunged into total chaos. The suns in the Zi Wei Galaxy were no ordinary suns like those found in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds. The suns here were far more dangerous, more powerful and deadly; thus, the preferred term for the suns in the Zi Wei Galaxy was the godly suns.
As a result, only the Creators were fit to be the God of Suns, only they could control and manipulate the terrifying power that the godly suns contained in them.
Even the godly suns' sunfire was Creator-level godly flames.
Although this was only an ordinary godly sun, it was still a force that was beyond the armada's capabilities to endure. The warships' and gates' structures began to melt as their totem patterns dissolved.
"LEAVE NOW!" Royal Prince Wen Chang's face changed dramatically, he shouted in command, "Keep the gates! Don't cast them anymore! Cast the warships and rush for the outside!"
The gods immediately surged their arcane energy into the warships to rush out from the godly sun. All of a sudden, one of the warships' defensive totem patterns were all crushed by the sunfire and the godly flames were granted unrestricted access to every part of the warship!
In just a breath's time, the whole warship and the gods in it were reduced to ash!
Only Deity Overlords would be able to withstand the sunfire, but not for long either!
Weapon Ancestor could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He glanced around and saw another warship burning into ash and just like that, he had lost another ten thousand of his Zhu Shi Celestial Race clansmen.
Despite the burning heat of the sunfire, his heart was colder than it had ever been. Hearing the cries of pain and curses from his dying people, a tide of helplessness washed over him.
One warship after another was incinerated by the sunfire!
Royal Prince Wen Chang's face turned dark and gloomy, he cast out a piece of longcloth and it rolled a pathway out from the sun. The warship they were in sailed on and escaped from it.
"It's the lightning seas! There were hidden totem patterns in them that changed the gates' totem patterns during the teleportation!"
Royal Prince Wen Chang's squinted his eyes and continued in frigid voice, "What a surprise he has given us there. Who would have ever expected Mister Yi to also be a grandmaster of space totem patterns!"
As the warship sailed out from the godly sun, Weapon Master looked back and saw that only two other warships had made it out alive. They were both burning hot in red with one of it still slowly shattering apart. Half of it was burnt and the other half was still burning, there was only a Deity Overlord onboard who writhing in pain as he was being consumed by the fire!
Seconds before the Deity Overlord was reduced into ashes, the six light wheels behind him shone brightly and tens of thousand Zhu Shi gods were thrown out of his Yuan Shen secret realms.
Because he had sheltered the Zhu Shu gods in his Yuan Shen secret realms, the gods weren't incinerated by the sunfire. And as the Deity Overlord couldn't hold any longer, he quickly released the gods before he too was reduced to ashes.
Back when the warship's defensive totem patterns were taken down, he had kept everyone into his Yuan Shen secret realms while he withstood the sunfire on his own. It was him who saved the whole warship's lives.
Weapon Ancestor's heart ached in pain, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Your Royal Highness, are you still planning to take Mister Yi under you?"
It was a question with no second option. Royal Prince Wen Chang knew that if he answered yes, the whole of the Zhu Shi Celestial Race would turn their back away from him.
Zhong Yue had now overdone it. He had long since crossed the Zhu Shi Celestial Race's bottom line. He altered the gates' totem patterns and delivered over hundreds of thousand Zhu Shi gods to death's doorstep. The hatred between them could only be resolved by the other's death.
Although Royal Prince Wen Chang admired Zhong Yue's talent a lot and intended to take him under him, the Zhu Shi Celestial Race had much more value than a mere talent.
"Only his death can ease my dissatisfactions!" Royal Prince Wen Chang thought of the near-death experience just moments ago and he answered frigidly.
Then, there were another few Deity Overlords that made it out alive from the godly sun. But other than them, there was no one else coming out of it.
A fully weaponized armada and over hundreds of thousand gods, all perished in just a few moments.
"Cast the teleportal gates and check the totem patterns!" Royal Prince Wen Chang commanded.
The surviving Deity Overlords cast out the teleportal gates and check them thoroughly. They cleared the altered totem patterns and returned the gates normal functionality.
Then, Royal Prince Wen Chang ordered the survivors to board only one warship and cast the teleportal gate, chasing after Zhong Yue and the others.
Meanwhile, Bo Di was fluttering his wings unstoppingly, flying past one star after another in tremendous speed.
A long time later, a gate emerged out of thin air behind them and a warship sailed packed with tens of thousand gods sailed out of it.
Their arrival filled the air with an intense pain and sadness; but their will were gathered as one, twisted together with only one goal—to avenge their fallen brothers!
"'Why is there only one warship?" Xi He was surprised, "Where are the others?"
"Yi Feng! You slaughtered more than hundreds of thousands of my fallen brothers and siblings! I will kill you for this! No matter what it takes!"
Weapon Master stood on the deck and shouted in burning anger, "I will avenge my fallen brothers, you will pay for this! Right here, right now!"
Immediately, Dong Ah, Xi He, and the others turned their head to Zhong Yue in utter shock with their mouths slightly agape
