Chapter 1954: Fireworks Are Fun (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.plTwo heavenly kings had been killed at the very start. Things were progressing smoothly.

The four remaining heavenly kings were kept weakened by Hundred Battle King, allowing Great Zhou King's group to actually gain a slight advantage over them. After all, Great Zhou King and Cloud Fire Marquis were already good enough to handle two heavenly kings. The rest of them could join hands against the remaining two. They were slowly forming an encirclement around the four.

"Hahaha!"

Hundred Battle King was roaring with laughter as well. The seal on him had loosened enough that his projection was on the verge of appearing. Of the six chains shackling him down, two had snapped. The remaining four couldn't even focus on dealing with him as they had to also fight Great Zhou King's group.

Hundred Battle King had a feeling that the day for him to regain his freedom had arrived.

He roared madly, venting all his accumulated anger, "Kill them all! Kill one or two more and I'll be free! Kill these bastards!"

After six thousand years of waiting, hope had finally arrived. These people were incredibly strong. There were even two pseudo kings among them. Thus, Hundred Battle King was quite surprised to see them.

He continued roaring madly. His voice rumbled outward. The entire mountain trembled, and small explosions erupted all over the mountain. Slowly, a faint aura started leaking out of the mountain.

The expression of Dao Yu, who was busy fighting Su Yu, changed. He had not seen this coming. Two heavenly kings had died in the blink of an eye. That was too fast. Where did these bastards come from? Hundred Battle King could really break free with one or two more deaths. And with Hundred Battle King free, who would be his match?

"Damn it!"

Dao Yu cursed.

This was a place guarded by eight pseudo kings, yet it had somehow suffered an invasion. He couldn't understand this. Was humanity really still capable of amassing such a force? Just how many experts were hidden at the Chaos Mountain? He had the upper hand in the battle against Su Yu.

But a battle between experts at their level wouldn't end so easily. People at this level were simply too difficult to defeat or kill. The human he was facing was weaker than him, but that did not signify that he could defeat this human easily.

The more Hundred Battle King struggled, the more strength the four heavenly kings would need to dedicate to keep him suppressed. Initially, they were able to match their opponents evenly. But now, they were slowly losing the advantage.

Slowly, the four were corralled together. They had no choice but to group up. That would give them a better fighting chance as staying separate would only give their opponents the chance to finish them off separately. Their daos were shaking continuously as Hundred Battle King continued his intense resistance.

He looked crazy, which was understandable for someone who had been trapped for so many years. The chains around him kept breaking apart, only to be replaced by new chains. In this manner, he continued draining the strength of the four heavenly kings.

***

Suddenly, a flicker of joy appeared in Su Yu's eyes for a split second.

The encirclement was complete!

He only needed to initiate his suppression on the four heavenly kings to weaken them. That would break their current balance. They would die in no time, and Su Yu would be done here.

As for Hundred Battle King, he could potentially break free and escape. But that would only happen if he were willing to flee. If he decided to stay and fight like a fool, he would probably die.

As for Su Yu, he was satisfied with killing only six heavenly kings. If he were lucky enough, he could kill Dao Yu and Blood Devil as well. But they weren't his priority targets, so he wouldn't care even if they survived.

Just as Su Yu was about to suppress the four heavenly kings with his stone, Dao Yu grew even more anxious. He could see that the four were losing.

"Where do you think you're at? Do you think this is a place you can enter and leave as you please?"

Dao Yu roared furiously, "Blood Devil!"

Behind him, countless Lan Tians were engaged in an intense battle against Blood Devil. However, Blood Devil had also produced countless clones. Yes. This was a battle between clone users. Countless Blood Devils were facing off against countless Lan Tians in the sky.

Hearing Dao Yu's voice, Blood Devil laughed and said, "We should have done this long ago. I'm afraid both of us will need to take the blame this time."

"Stop wasting time!"

Things were drastic enough for them to stop caring about anything else. He had not expected that things would worsen so quickly for them. Who could have imagined that heavenly kings could die so easily?

Blood Devil sneered and said nothing. Next, the various Blood Devils converged before exploding. Everything had happened in the blink of an eye. Numerous Lan Tians were blasted apart by the sudden explosion. A bloody mist filled the sky.

Su Yu, who was still fighting Dao Yu, pulled back hurriedly. His expression changed. What was going on? An incomparably powerful character manifested in Dao Yu's hand. It shot into the fog of blood. The roiling crimson mist froze. Then, waves of fluctuations rippled out.

Further away, Great Zhou King's face fell as he roared, "Retreat! That's Blood Teleportation! Retreat!"

Su Yu did not know what was happening, but he could sense the spatial fluctuations in the air.

With Great Zhou King's timely reminder, he could guess what was happening.

Unsurprisingly, Dao Yu pressed forth instead of retreating further. He coldly said, "Die, bastards. You managed to escape previously, but how dare you return? This is not your territory!"

He looked enraged. Both he and Blood Devil were the leaders here. Thus, they would take the blame for the disastrous battle today. That wouldn't change even if they managed to kill all these attackers.

Then again, killing all the attackers was still the best course of action to reduce the blame they would receive. The bloody mist in the sky assumed the shape of a door. Slowly, the door swung open.

It seemed to have established a connection to somewhere far away, creating a shortcut for a certain being.

An ancient voice rang out from the other side of the door, "Has the time for me to act arrived?"

Blood Devil roared, "Fellow Daost, I beseech you to awake from your slumber!"

"Fine. Give me a moment."

Instantly, an intense wave of devil qi surged out of that door. Clearly, the door was connected to a certain super expert from the devil race.

Su Yu's heart thumped. He focused his Heaven Gate on that door. The moment he looked inside the door, he felt his vision drifting far away. His expression changed as his head snapped downward.

Fuck!

A slumbering super expert!

And that expert was actually right under the Sealed Mountain!

That expert had withdrawn his connection to his dao. Thus, Su Yu had not been able to discover him previously. Now that a crisis was upon them, Blood Devil and Dao Yu had decided to wake him up.

"Ten seconds."

Su Yu was alarmed, but he did not panic. The super expert had yet to awaken fully. Time was required for someone to awaken from deep slumber. That was why the expert had requested a short moment. To fully awaken, connect to his dao, and leave through the door, it would probably take him ten seconds.

Countless thoughts emerged in Su Yu's mind. A stone was sent flying toward Great Zhou King's group.

At the moment, Great Zhou King looked incomparably nervous. Sensing the powerful burst of devil qi, he said, "That is the aura of Celestial Devil Marquis! He's not dead!"

The ancient marquises recognized the aura as well. Panic gripped them. That old thing had vanished for too many years. They had assumed that he was dead, but alas, he had simply been in deep slumber. Devil qi flooded the entire Sealed Mountain.

The expression of Hundred Battle King, who was busy resisting the chains around him, changed as well. He roared in agitation, "Hurry up! Kill those bastards! I'll break free and kill that Celestial Devil guy!"

He grew anxious.

Celestial Devil Marquis was not someone he was familiar with. He had never fought this opponent. But he could sense from the aura coming out the door that this was a powerful pseudo king.

Despite his crazed roars, despair was starting to sink in. It was over! He didn't have enough time. The people here to save him wouldn't be able to kill the four pseudo kings in time. They had the upper hand, but they lacked time to do more.

Hundred Battle King was furious. A bastard was actually sleeping beneath him! He had been trapped here for so many years, but he had remained completely oblivious about it.

***

At the same time, Dao Yu pressed forth to keep Su Yu busy. He shouted, "Keep them occupied!"

The situation seemed to have reversed, with them being the ones trying to keep the attackers engaged. Celestial Devil Marquis would be here soon.

Back then, they had picked this mountain as the spot to seal Hundred Battle King because a powerful being was slumbering here. During the first attempt to free Hundred Battle King, the unknown attacker had fled before they could activate this contingency.

Surprisingly, these idiots had decided to return for a second attempt. Three seconds. Su Yu noted that three seconds had passed since that door was summoned.

"Down!"

He roared, signalling his people.

"Die!"

With a roar, Great Zhou King ignited his blood essence and pushed his patient dao to its very limit. At that, the four heavenly kings stiffened slightly. At the same time, a sea of flames appeared around them. Brave Martial General and the others attacked with all their strength as well.

Initially, they were thinking of retreating. However, they recalled Su Yu's previous words when the order to retreat did not come. He had warned them that he was the only person allowed to give orders during the battle. Ultimately, they decided to listen to him.

The four heavenly kings had been weakened considerably. With the patient dao, even their movement turned sluggish. That alone shouldn't be a big deal for them. But at this moment, the stone arrived and released a burst of suppressive force. For some reason, the stone gave off the same sensation as their daos. It enlarged in the sky and descended upon them.

It was as though a mountain was dropping from the sky. Their connections to their daos couldn't be severed easily under other circumstances. But now, the stone was able to easily sever the connections.

This wouldn't be that big of an issue if it had happened at any other time. But they were currently in a battle to the death. Thus, it was a big issue. They all paled as their auras started plummeting.

The suppressive effect on them was far more effective than Su Yu had imagined. In the blink of an eye, their combat strength had dropped from peak Daofuses to tier-three Daofuses. It continued dropping all the way to tier five, and that wasn't even the end.

Given enough time, they could probably restore the connections to their daos. But time was something they sorely lacked at the moment.

Boom!

The attacks reached them in a split second. Deafening explosions erupted. Despair, disbelief, and shock covered the faces of the four heavenly kings.

One of them roared with fury, "No! Broken dao! The daos here...traps..."

Boom!

Before he could finish, he burst apart. He had realized something right before his death. Switching to one of the daos here was a bad idea. There was something wrong about the daos here.

The four of them had been severed from their daos at the same time. This was not possible for experts at their level. Thus, they could only conclude that something was wrong with their daos.

Dao Yu, who was still fighting Su Yu, trembled with shock. He couldn't believe what was happening. What was going on? The four heavenly kings had weakened drastically in the blink of an eye, allowing their opponents to kill them off.

As of that moment, the four were as easy to kill as regular Eternals.

Eight seconds.

Su Yu, who was still paying close attention to the time that had passed, roared, "Hundred Battle King, break out and stop that fellow!"

Hundred Battle King was greatly shocked as well. The chains around him had all fallen apart. Or to be precise, only one chain was left. That was the seal of Control King's lineage, the final layer of seal on him.

The other seal had fallen apart. Just moments ago, Hundred Battle King had given up. Thus, the sudden change had caught him by complete surprise. When he heard Su Yu's voice, he knew that he didn't have much time left.

An opportunity to break free had arrived.

He roared with laughter, and nextBOOM!

His aura surged.
