Chapter 906: The Heavenly Consort's Predicament
"Chi 2..." Everyone was shocked, not expecting that at such a time, Chi 2 would stand up to take the blow for An Yi.
"Chi 2, do you also wish to betray me, your Emperor?" Emperor Tianshu's gaze was dark as he stared at Chi 2.
"Tianshu, you are corrupt and evil, committing horrendous acts and even harming the loyal and good. Now, when our race is at a critical juncture of life and death, you still selfishly ignore the bigger picture. If you continue to rule as the Celestial Emperor, I fear our race will be annihilated. For the sake of our Celestial Race, today, please allow your Majesty to sacrifice the lesser self," said Chi 2 with a righteous fervor, "Everyone, what are you still waiting for? Do you want to wait until our entire clan is destroyed?"
"How dare you speak to me in such a manner? You truly do not know life from death. It seems that I have been too lenient, letting you all forget who is the true ruler of the Celestial Race." Emperor Tianshu's expression darkened as he coldly fixed his gaze on Chi 2, the Law of Light surging around him once more.
"For the future of our Celestial Race, I am willing to die," declared Chi 2 as terrifying Law Power erupted from him.
The Law Power oscillated in the void and after the strike, Chi 2 did not get obliterated; he wasn't even injured, just pushed back a few steps.
Everyone saw this clearly and understood what was happening.
Though An Yi lost, Emperor Tianshu was also affected; he suffered from the Space-time Law and had reverted back to his state before reaching his peak condition. The current Emperor Tianshu is his younger self, not yet invincible.
"I will help you!" Figures charged into the void, joining Chi 2 to confront Emperor Tianshu.
"Very well... Today, I shall exterminate you all, you traitorous rebels..." Emperor Tianshu roared furiously, his aura bursting forth with light, brutally charging towards the high officials of the Celestial Race.
But now, Emperor Tianshu, no longer possessing his former strength, couldn't suppress the Immortals.
"Your Majesty... I shall protect you..." Immortals rushed into the void, fighting alongside Emperor Tianshu, plunging into a chaotic battle.
"Are we doing nothing?" the woman pushing Tian Jue, with a complex expression, watched Tian Jue's back and spoke.
"There is no need anymore, the matter of Tianshu is settled," Tian Jue spoke calmly, "Push me back, and order that no one shall intervene in this affair, those who disobey will be executed on the spot."
The woman nodded slightly and pushed Tian Jue back to his room.
Although Emperor Tianshu had protectors, ultimately he could not withstand the overwhelming force from Chi 2 and others. It was clear to all that Emperor Tianshu was weakening.
The effects of the Space-time Law continued to manifest on his body, making him younger and steadily weakening his power.
"Your Majesty... escape quickly..." An 6, extremely anxious to protect, after blocking an attack for Emperor Tianshu, pushed him to flee.
"I will grind all of you into dust and shatter your corpses into countless pieces." Emperor Tianshu, gritting his teeth, summoned a bizarre immortal steed, pulling An 6 onto it.
The steed neighed, its hooves thundering across the void, the surrounding space twisting instantly as its shape vanished.
Chi 2 and the others, though wanting to stop them, were powerless, cursively commenting, "That old thief sure flees fast."
"He's injured by the Space-time Law, even if he's not dead, it's futile," An 2 excitedly walked towards An Yi, bowing and said, "Dean... no... Lord Heavenly Emperor... our Celestial Race is now in your hands..."
An Yi, steadying himself, looked around. The battle had stopped; no one from either side spoke further, some people started bowing to An Yi, shouting the name of the Heavenly Emperor.
Lin Shen arrived via teleportation, but the great battle had already ended.
"Strange, why was there a slight deviation in the teleportation?" Yan Ruyu surveying the surroundings, muttered to herself.
"Transported to the wrong place?" Lin Shen quickly asked.
"No, the planet is correct, but the location deviated slightly, about a hundred kilometers off from the planned coordinates," said Yan Ruyu.
"That's still acceptable," Lin Shen sighed in relief. To them, at their level, a hundred kilometers was merely a blink of an eye.
Yan Ruyu nodded and didn't say more, preparing to leave with Lin Shen from this planet named Mulin to Sky Pinnacle Star.
Before the two could even leave, suddenly they saw a Light Explosion bursting in the sky, followed by the vibrations of Law.
"People are fighting here? Have the rebels already made it here?" Lin Shen was shocked, calling Yan Ruyu to go and see.
"Kong Chuan... then the other one must be the Heavenly Consort..." As Lin Shen got closer, he recognized people in the fight; one was the Heavenly Consort, evident from the mosaic blurring her figure, a rarity seen only around her, especially since she was fighting alongside Kong Chuan.
The Heavenly Consort's power was unexpectedly strong; Lin Shen had thought she was merely a tool for Emperor Tianshu, but she was significantly stronger than Kong Chuan, both being at Nirvana Level.
Their opponent was an Immortal, managing to maintain the fight until now; Heavenly Consort was a primary combatant.
Of course, the Immortal had no intention of killing them, clearly aiming to capture them alive.
"Stop resisting, Heavenly Consort, come back with me honestly, and you might still survive," An 21 while bombarding Heavenly Consort and Kong Chuan into a corner, grinned cheekily at her.
"Fuck off," Kong Chuan, seeing his demeanor, knew he had no good intentions, furiously unleashing Divine Light.
However, in front of an Immortal, Kong Chuan's Power of Nirvana was clearly insufficient, scattered effortlessly by An 21.
An 21 seemed to be playing a cat-and-mouse game, methodically advancing, yet not delivering lethal blows.
With a Feather Fan in her hand, Heavenly Consort emitted Seven-Colored Divine Light, surprisingly managing to disperse the Law-enhanced power of An 21, which was somewhat incredible.
"Heavenly Consort and Kong Chuan being hunted by someone from the An Family, Sky Pinnacle Star must have encountered a major problem," deduced Lin Shen, assuming something must be wrong with Emperor Tianshu for him to let Heavenly Consort undergo such trials; she was a crucial tool in surviving death calamities, Emperor Tianshu wouldn't abandon her unless absolutely necessary.
"Sky Pinnacle Star must be having issues, should we still go?" Yan Ruyu also guessed some of it.
"Let's rescue them first," mulled Lin Shen.
"If Emperor Tianshu is done for, rescuing her now might bring us major trouble," Yan Ruyu cautioned.
Lin Shen was well aware of the potential troubles, but with the Fire Seed and Heaven Defying Bone on Heavenly Consort, he couldn't give it up, desperately needing it for his ascendancy.
His path to promotion was fraught with hardships, and whether he had a chance to become immortal was uncertain; he was counting on the Heaven Defying Bone to change his fate.
