Chapter 1472 - Five Divine Emissaries

As that terrifying aura swept outward, a figure suddenly appeared.0

A stick-thin elder in green robes and a dark golden jade crown appeared. His face was long and bony.0

Wisps of off-white lightning crackled around him, flashing with terrifying, forbidden power.0

The nearby cultivators were stricken by the sight of him, as if they’d just witnessed the descent of a god!0

“Another divine emissary!” Su Yi’s brow furrowed slightly.0

In truth, he wasn’t just basing this judgment on his recent experiences. When the red-robed man and stick-thin elder in green appeared, the typically dormant Sword of the Nine Hells awakened in his sea of consciousness. It was surging with terrifying murderous intent.0

This had happened when Mi Zhen and the Tailor used their respective deities’ power too!0

It was just that Su Yi had repressed the Sword of the Nine Hells’ unusual movements, preventing it from attacking. Now, the sword was acting up again!0

“And who might you be, sir?” The youthful man in red asked.0

“My name is Lu Tong, and I serve the Thousandwing Demon God. Greetings, Fellow Daoist,” the green-robed elder said with a smile, clasping his fist.0

“Oh,” said the red-robed man. “Are you here to carry out your god’s orders too?”0

“I am indeed,” said Lu Tong. “But I’m not the only one. Several other fellow Daoists are on their way as we speak.”0

“I too received my god’s orders,” said the man in red. “I’ve already been informed that I’ll be working with other deities’ subordinates.”0

“Then… how about we wait a little longer?” said Lu Tong. “As you can see, the chaos barrier surrounding the Dark and Gold Star Realm is far beyond ordinary Laws of the natural order. If we give it our all, we might well be able to open a path, but we’ll severely deplete the powers our gods have granted us. That would be an undue loss.”0

The red-robed man thought for a moment, then nodded his agreement.0

The two then stood there and continued their conversation as if there were no one else around.0

But their imposing presences threw the surrounding starry void into chaos. The other cultivators present were as silent as cicadas in winter, their hearts quivering with fright.0

The keywords of the emissaries’ conversation—“the Thousandwing Demon God,” “deities,” and “god’s orders”—set their minds racing.0

“Deities?” Qing Tang was startled, and she couldn’t help but glance at her master.0

She vividly recalled him telling her about his recent clash with a divine emissary in the depths of the Starjade Forbidden Zone.0

“Don’t be afraid. Let’s see what they’re up to, first,” Su Yi transmitted. He could tell that something wasn’t quite right here.0

The two divine emissaries had obviously come here to gain entrance to the Dark and Gold Star Realm.0

Did that mean that the chaos barrier enveloping the Dark and Gold Star Realm wasn’t the work of the gods after all?0

All this strangeness told Su Yi that his earlier deductions had missed the mark. It was for this reason that he planned to wait a while longer.0

Two divine emissaries had appeared in rapid succession, their goal to enter the Dark and Gold Star Realm. That proved that the changes to the Dark and Gold Star Realm had attracted attention from multiple gods.0

Gods couldn’t enter the Human Realm, but they could send their emissaries!0

Su Yi furrowed his brow.

Just what happened in the Dark and Gold Star Realm to cause such a huge disturbance?

0

Before long, three more divine emissaries arrived.0

One was a youthful-featured, graying elder in Confucian robes. He carried a jade-green ruler, and a mysterious talisman revolved around his head.0

One was a coppery-skinned man in beast sin robes. He had a serpentine totem emblazoned on his forehead, with a silver spear on his back, and he seemed like a barbarian god straight out of the primeval era.2

The third was dressed like a monk, and he stood atop a black lotus platform. He was tall, upright, and middle-aged. Countless flecks of Buddhist fire surged around him.0

When the three divine emissaries appeared, their terrifying presences shook the world, making their surroundings tremble.0

The nearby cultivators had long since fled further away, not daring to draw near.0

And within Su Yi’s sea of consciousness, the Sword of the Nine Hells quivered as if completely and utterly provoked. It was seething with murderous intent, and Su Yi almost couldn’t stop it from charging out of his sea of consciousness!0

“Be patient!” Su Yi took a deep breath and suppressed the Sword of the Nine Hells. The situation was not yet clear; it wasn’t yet time to take action.0

“Everyone, it won’t do to delay. Let’s work together to destroy that chaos barrier. Once we’ve entered the Dark and Gold Star Realm, we can split up and act individually. How about it?” said the red-robed man, the first of them to arrive.0

“Very well.”0

“Naturally.”0

…the other four divine emissaries all agreed, and the five of them immediately got to work.0

Boom!

0

Space trembled, and countless stars shook as if about to fall.0

Five divine emissaries were each displaying their divine power. They’d taken out their treasures, and they were assailing the chaos barrier with all their might.0

The barrier shook violently. They’d shaken it!0

“What terrifying power!”0

“Don’t tell me those really are divine emissaries? If not, how could they control such terrifying power?”0

“It would be great if we could enter the Dark and Gold Star Realm alongside them…”0

Countless cultivators watched in astonishment. The divine emissaries’ methods shocked them to the core.0

Even the Transcendent revenants quivered with fright as irrepressible astonishment and awe welled within their hearts.0

“Master, are those… really the subordinates of the gods?” Qing Tang couldn’t help but transmit.0

She was stunned too, and the look on her pretty face was utterly solemn.0

It wasn’t that she was a coward, but that her cultivation base was too weak. The five divine emissaries’ imposing auras suppressed her heart and soul, triggering instinctual fear.0

“A pack of the gods’ dogs wandering the Human Realm, that’s all,” Su Yi said casually. “Sure, they qualify as the gods’ subordinates, but only just barely.”1

His casual tone was rife with disdain. Su Yi truly didn’t take those so-called “divine emissaries” at all seriously.0

At the end of the day, they were just like Mi Zhen and the Tailor. They served and worshiped their gods, and it was from their gods that they received their power.0

But if they were really important enough for the gods to rely on, they’d be too strong to enter the Human Realm. 0

It was obvious to him just what kind of riffraff these “divine emissaries” in the Human Realm were.0

Of course, that was just Su Yi’s view of the situation. Just about anyone else would have seen the five divine emissaries’ power as far beyond the bounds of this world, little different from that of a god!0

“Break——!”0

Suddenly, the man reminiscent of a barbarian god roared, swung his silver spear, and thrust it into the chaos barrier.0

As he poured all of his strength into his weapon, a massive boom rang out. Then, beneath countless astonished gazes, he tore open a hole in the chaos barrier! It was like a tunnel leading into the Dark and Gold Star Realm!0

“Let’s go!”0

He was the first to charge in through the rift, but the other four divine emissaries followed shortly after.0

However, the moment they passed through it, someone attacked!0

He was a handsome young man completely swathed in strange and wondrous talisman markings.0

One casual swing of his palm and…0

Bang!!!

0

𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The man in beast skins, the one leading the charge, was forced back. His four companions sensed the danger and stopped immediately.0

Then, all five of them locked onto the handsome young man.0

He’d shown up so suddenly that even the distant onlookers were astonished!0

Someone in the Dark and Gold Star Realm was actually forcing the divine emissaries back?0

Su Yi’s eyes narrowed. He couldn’t help but find this surprising.0

That handsome young man’s presence was quite extraordinary too. He was surrounded by countless talisman markings, some like twisting, contorted worms, others like dancing flower petals or colorful divine lights. He was a startling sight.1

However, his presence was obviously different from that of the divine emissaries. Su Yi couldn’t see through him.0

“Who are you!?” shouted the man in beast skins, his voice shaking the entire stretch of stars.0

Murderous intent blazed around him. His eyes shone with utterly imposing light as he locked onto the handsome youth.0

The handsome youth disregarded the question completely. He swept his gaze across the divine emissaries, then jeered. “A pack of self-conceited dogs. Were your masters here in your stead, they might, maybe, just barely be worthy of a moment of my attention.”0

He had an idle bearing, and he spoke without restraint. His unbridled bearing was on full display.0

And his words made the divine emissaries’ expressions darken.0

“Scram! The good fortune of the Dark and Gold Star Realm doesn’t belong to you,” the handsome youth said with a wave.0

“Everyone, who cares who he is? Let’s join forces and kill him before we do anything else!” the red-robed man said gravely.1

“Very well!”0

The other four divine emissaries agreed.0

Boom!

0

All five of them joined forces and fought with all their might. Their murderous intent rose around them, and their terrifying divine power made the surrounding stars shake.0

The handsome young man’s brow furrowed. He suddenly leaped into the fray and swung his hand. Countless talisman markings whooshed forth, shaking his surroundings.0

In the blink of an eye, he’d broken through the five divine emissaries’ joint attack!0

But the handsome young man staggered, and his aura instantly weakened.0

“Dammit, I miscalculated. Had I known, I wouldn’t have sent this sort of avatar of will….” The young man facepalmed and grumbled in frustration.1

The five divine emissaries were initially stunned, but then, they lit up with delight. They’d just realized that the young man was only acting tough; he was all talk!0

“Get him!”0

Without any further hesitation, the five divine emissaries attacked once more with ferocious momentum.0

The corners of the young man’s lips twitched, but he had no time to think. He could only give it everything he had.0

Boom!

0

A grand battle erupted.0

The handsome young man really was quite fierce, and his power was terrifying beyond imagination. He fought five against one, but he still wasn’t at a disadvantage.0

But as the battle raged on, it was obvious to everyone that his aura was weakening at startling speeds, and he gradually found himself in a passive position.0

The five divine emissaries relentlessly pursued him.0

“Master, it seems that guy won’t be able to take much more of this…” transmitted Qing Tang.0

And here she’d thought the handsome young man was some kind of extraordinary existence. Now, it seemed he was all bells and whistles and no substance. 0

“He’s just a rapidly vanishing remnant of will. For him to achieve this in such a state means he’s in no way ordinary,” Su Yi said gravely.0

He’d only just said this when the handsome young man locked in fierce combat with the divine emissaries faced him and shouted, “Uncle! If you wait any longer to help, your nephew’s avatar of will is doomed!”0

His voice spread throughout the entire area, booming throughout the stars.0

Su Yi was completely baffled. “????”
