Chapter 1776: Talk, Not Fight (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Death Realm.

West Heavenly King was pushed back repeatedly. He was starting to feel nervous. Things were getting out of hand. The dog was too strong.

He shouted, "North Heavenly King, if I die today, you will be the next to die! You know the consequences!"

Yes, South Heavenly King was stopping North Heavenly King from acting. But North Heavenly King had a lot of marquises under his command.

In fact, he had more marquises under his command than South Heavenly King. Since South Heavenly King supported humanity, it was only natural that she had a lower number of marquises under her. Even if North Heavenly King himself was blocked by South Heavenly King, he could still send his marquises over. Just three or five of them would be able to change the tide.

Without North Heavenly King's help, they would lose.

To the north.

North Heavenly King hesitated. But shortly after, he reached a decision. West Heavenly King was right. With West Heavenly King's death, it would be his turn to suffer. He was fearful of West Heavenly King and West Royal Consort, but that did not mean that he wanted them dead. How would his current good life persist without the current balance?

Thus, he roared, "Attack!"

Instantly, he stepped forth with fifteen marquises.

To the south.

South Heavenly King's expression chilled. So North Heavenly King had still decided to partake in the battle. She did not have as many marquises under her command. Two of them were human marquises, but the two had already joined the battle. She was left with only ten marquises.

Thus, North Heavenly King had five more marquises, and that was enough to play a big role in the battle. Of course, the final result of the battle was still uncertain. If the white dog could stop West Heavenly King alone, Marquis Lanshan and the old turtle could handle the additional marquises.

"Die!"

South Heavenly King did not hesitate and shot right toward the East Heavenly Domain as well. Behind her, the ten marquises hesitated. Yes. They were hesitating. None of them was a human marquis.

Not all of them wanted to see humanity's rule return. Then again, some of them were also allies of humanity. After years of South Heavenly King's rule, she had developed some trusted subordinates as well.

Noticing the hesitation of her subordinates, South Heavenly King's heart thumped. She was worried that some would defect in the middle of the battle. After all, these weren't human marquises.

But at the moment, she did not have the luxury to worry. She ordered, "I will handle North Heavenly King. All of you will face the others!"

And thus, the marquises started flying toward East Heavenly Domain. As for South Heavenly King and North Heavenly King, they all shot elsewhere to fight independently. Even from afar, they started throwing attacks at each other while the daos above them trembled. Two death spirit daos manifested and started ramming into each other.

North Heavenly King was very powerful. He was even slightly stronger than South Heavenly King. Nevertheless, the gap between them wasn't big enough that their battle would end anytime soon. In any case, the result of their fight would not determine the ultimate result of this battle. Rather, West Heavenly King and West Royal Consort were the keys. The victory of either of them would have a massive effect on the battle.

"Awooo!"

Just then, the white dog howled again. He was getting more and more anxious, and his fury was growing as well. How annoying. He had to go back and water his flowers! With a furious howl, the white dog in the sky enlarged countless times.

At the same time, he spat over a hundred talismans from his mouth. These talismans were unlike any other talismans. Each of them was seemingly connected to a different dao.

"Void Lock!"

With a roar, the talismans sealed West Heavenly King from all directions. West Heavenly King was overwhelmed with shock and horror. What was that?

Out of nowhere, he was sealed in a tiny chunk of void. The white dog shouted, "You, turtle guy, and that other guy, go help book spirit and kill the others! Kill everyone here before killing the ones there!"

Both the old turtle and Marquis Lanshan were greatly shocked as well. This dog...was extremely abnormal. Or to be precise, the dog was too excessively rich!

The two did not have the time to say anything. They hurriedly charged toward West Heavenly King's subordinates, aiming to finish them all before the arrival of North Heavenly King's subordinates.

For now, they had to kill as many of these people as they could. The more they could kill now, the fewer they would have to meet later.

Meanwhile, West Heavenly King was putting up an intense struggle. He attacked the talismans around him madly, but it did not seem like he would be able to break free anytime soon.

Noticing the resistance, the white dog grew flustered and exasperated. And thus, he spat another thing out. Something resembling a ring.

As the ring appeared, some ancient memories emerged in the white dog's mind. Back then, the Little Master would constantly toss the ring out before shouting at him in excitement to fetch the ring back. Each time, he would run off and fetch the ring happily.

The ring transformed into a gigantic ring before descending upon West Heavenly King. In West Heavenly King's eyes, the ring was akin to a chain that would seal his path of survival. His expression changed again. Damn it! Just what was wrong with this dog? Could anyone tell him?

The ring was akin to a miniature River of Time as it continued its descent. West Heavenly King had yet to even deal with the numerous talismans around him. Now, he was faced with something even more powerful.

He roared as his dao trembled violently in resistance, but cracks kept appearing on it from the bites of the gigantic dog in the sky. He yelled desperately and attacked with his death qi. He knew full well that the ring couldn't be allowed to descend upon him or he would be in an even greater trouble.

"This guy is quite strong!"

The white dog was furious. How was this guy resisting even the ring?

Fine, fine!

"Again!"

At this point, North Heavenly King and the others were already so shocked by the white dog's treasures that they had nearly forgotten to fight. And under their shocked gaze, the white dog spat another item out. A chain, to be precise. A chain the little master used to walk the white dog with. One day, the white dog swallowed the chain. At the time, the little master had raged for a long time after losing the chain.

And now, the chain had reappeared. It enlarged before descending upon the dao above West Heavenly King.

Despair covered West Heavenly King's eyes.

What the fuck was it this time?

Just what in the world was going on here?

He was incredibly powerful. Apart from that one time when Martial King and the others attacked, he had never felt such despair before. At the time, he had submitted immediately. Seeing that West Heavenly King dared to struggle against his chain, the white dog grew even more furious. How dare this fellow waste his time?

"Stinky guy, you're dead! Dead!"

The angry dog spat one more item out. This time, it was a ball. A ball with flowery marks on it, a toy famous among young girls. With a rumble, the flowery ball shot toward West Heavenly King.

The despairing West Heavenly King roared, "Just who are you?"

Boom!

The chain and the white dog's dao were suppressing his dao. The ring was suppressing him. And now, a ball was attacking him as well. Powerful as he was, this was still too much for him to handle.

But at this point, even the white dog was starting to pant. This was a tiring battle. Yes. It was tiring to control so many treasures at once. But he had no choice. He had to finish this battle as soon as possible and return home. Seeing that West Heavenly King was still capable of talking, the white dog became further enraged. Since this guy could still speak, he could probably last quite a while, right?

"Woof! Woof! Woof! You're so annoying!"

The white dog was so furious that he started barking. And then, his stomach wriggled. After a short moment, under everyone's shocked gaze, the panting dog spat another item out. A greatly worn-out item.

A shoe.

Yes. A shoe.

The white dog couldn't remember when it happened. He only remembered that one day, when Culture King wanted to leave, Little Master couldn't bear to part with him. She threw a long temper tantrum, but Culture King insisted on leaving. At the time, the white dog was still very young. He stealthily ate a shoe of Culture King, believing that this would be sufficient to stop Culture King from leaving. It was a childish thought.

A shoe of Culture King. Any personal belonging of a super expert would be a powerful item. A shoe too weak wouldn't be able to bear the weight of Culture King's existence. This was even more so for a scholarly person like Culture King. He had to be dressed meticulously at all times. He couldn't tolerate a shoe that would tear with a random kick from him.

Thus, the shoes of Culture King were as durable as his white robes. In the end, Culture King left with only one shoe. It was unknown if he had reforged the other half of the pair. Of course, that was not the white dog's concern for now.

This shoe had been in his stomach for many years. It had yet to be fully digested, but he never dared to spit it out for fear of being punished. Thus, he had been keeping it in his stomach. Now that his master was no longer around, there was nothing for him to fear.

The shoe floated in the air. Then, a leg manifested on it, as though someone was wearing it. Slowly, it stomped down upon West Heavenly King. That stomp was far more powerful than even the attack of incredibly powerful weapons.

West Heavenly King was overwhelmed with despair, shock, and fear.

"NOO!"

"NO! This...what is this..."

A shoe.

But above the shoe, there was seemingly someone. Someone...extremely terrifying. Someone whose mere presence could cause his entire being to shudder with fear. His dao was sealed. His body was sealed as well. He had no way of avoiding that stomp. He could only roar in desperation.

"Impossible!"

"Culture King is dead!"

As he roared in desperation, the entire Death Realm trembled. He refused to believe this. This was not Culture King! But that leg...it really resembled Culture King's leg! He was certain, even if countless years had passed since he last saw Culture King.

That was a moment he would never forget. The day Culture King entered the Death Realm. The day Culture King arrived at the West Heavenly Palace.

At the time, when he looked up, he only saw a pair of legs. He could no longer remember the face of Culture King. But he still remembered those legs. That terrifying presence. At the time, he had dropped to his knees and lowered his head right after seeing that descending pair of legs. He didn't even dare to make a sound.

"NO....NOO!"

Despair sank in.

This dog was related to Culture King!

"No your ass!"

The white dog shouted, "I'll stomp you to death!"

Boom!

The leg descended.

It couldn't be avoided.

Boom!

The world shook. As of that moment, it was as though that leg was the only thing in existence. It drew all attention. Nobody could focus on anything else with it present. West Heavenly King's death qi surged as he resisted with all his strength. Indignation and regret filled him.

He did not know! He did not know that this was a follower of Culture King! He wouldn't have dared to fight otherwise! It would never have happened! He greatly regretted this!

"Culture King...you are dead!"

West Heavenly King continued yelling with desperation. Dead! But why? Even dead, why must Culture King continue stepping on him?

Boom!
