Chapter 1699: Life is Very Exciting! (III)

A red moon exploded; the Red Moon master wasn’t in the mood to trade verbal barbs with the Human King. He was convinced that New Martial had assaulted Red Moon. Therefore, the only course of action was to force the Human King into such dire straits so that he transferred the Ash Emperor’s strength to himself.

Only then would Red Moon stand a chance!

As for why the two exalted emperors in residence hadn’t stopped New Martial... how did he know?!

Trash, that’s what they are!

Griefstricken was useless, as was that Wave Moon!

Screw them all!

He’d trusted them to no avail; the Red Moon master wanted to explode on the spot with wrath!

Is there a need for this?!

The Human King cursed heartily to himself as he dodged Red Moon’s crazed offensive.

Who the heck got on your bad side??

You’re attacking me so fiercely that you’re holding nothing back! Are you leaving anything for seizing the Skyward dao universe? Are you giving up on it?

“Hurry, come and defeat the Human King together,” the Orchid Forest master swiftly transmitted to the others. “New Martial seems to have ambushed Red Moon. The three major worlds are nearby...”

The other three seventh ranks paled with horror. New Martial really had come calling! Damn! Could two seventh ranks and one hundred exalted emperors not defend their worlds?

We have home ground advantage!

The Orchid Forest master suddenly looked at the three exalted emperors in a new light, then focused on the comparatively weaker Skywave master of great dao. He was weaker because he did not have the strength of a world on him.

Kill him!

The notion rose in his mind. He could ambush the other and kill him. That would cause an enormous backlash on Skywave, just like he’d once suffered. It would make the situation over there safer.

The most critical point was, he was also part of the dao alliance!

The Red Moon master had forgotten this point. Although the man was on guard against Orchid Forest, he’d included Orchid Forest in the alliance. If the Orchid Forest master attacked any of them... Red Moon would suffer from a chaos tribulation!

This way, an eighth rank chaos tribulation would descend upon Red Moon! It would be beset both inside and out! And once these three struck back at him, their worlds would be struck by seventh rank chaos tribulations!

No one had stopped to consider these possibilities because they’d been in such a hurry to sign the agreement. They’d also felt that no disagreements would develop between them in a short period of time.

Li Hao’s side has already started, but I’ve been forced to come here. I... want a piece of the pie as well!

Could they really not take the Red Moon dao universe for themselves? That wasn’t necessarily the case!

Even if the Red Moon master didn’t die, they could force him into abandoning the dao universe to avoid the tribulation. That would turn Red Moon into a world without a master and the Red Moon master into a wandering cultivator. That might be enough for the Human King to finish him off!

In that moment, the Orchid Forest decided to undertake a wild and crazy idea. He hadn’t discussed this with Li Hao beforehand!

As powerhouses joined hands against the Human King, the Orchid Forest master crept forward. No one would think that he would attack one of them since he was part of the alliance. Indeed, since they were on the same side, he would also suffer the punishment!

And yet, the Orchid Forest master chose to attack!

Bam!

A myriad of phenomena!

His full strength aimed at an unsuspecting Skywave master of dao ran the latter through. The Skywave exalted emperor’s body crumbled as he stared at Orchid Forest with incredulous disbelief. His dao mark materialized... but this was also when a dao tribulation appeared out of thin air!

An eighth rank tribulation shot straight for Orchid Forest and the Red Moon master!

The Red Moon was nearly losing his mind!!

WHY?!

“Why did you do that?!” he howled. “Orchid Forest, you son of a bitch!!”

Why had that misbegotten, heaven blasted asshole done that?!

Why did you attack someone from the three major worlds in the alliance??

The Orchid Forest master quickly backed away and chuckled at the Human King in the distance. “Human King, an eighth rank tribulation is upon them. I leave the Red Moon master to you. It’s up to your abilities whether or not you can kill him, hahaha!”

With that, he ran off. The other two exalted emperors he left behind flailed around for direction. This development had been too out of the ordinary!!

Boom!

𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

They were forced to take action as they felt encroaching danger. But they also knew that they would be breaking the alliance if they did so, which would bring a chaos tribulation down upon their own heads. While they would only face a seventh rank tribulation, they still wanted to curse everything to high heavens!

“Red Moon, you absolute idiot! Why did you include him in the agreement?!”

They were going to go crazy!

Granted, they wouldn’t have agreed to the terms if Orchid Forest had been excluded from the alliance. But... who would’ve thought that this lunatic would rather suffer an eighth rank tribulation and still want to attack them?!

“What do you want, Orchid Forest?!” they shouted.

Seriously, what’s your game plan?? Can you survive an eighth rank tribulation?? Ours is only seventh rank, and yours?!

The Human King started with surprise when he looked behind him.

What... in the... seven... blazes?

Out of the five exalted emperors, one had suddenly turned traitor, another was nearly dead with only his dao mark still existing, and the remaining four had chaos tribulations hovering over their heads.

Seriously, what’s going on here?

It wasn’t just the Human King who was baffled. In the distance, Skycloud and Light also gaped with astonishment. Were these people... playing around? Since when had chaos tribulations become so commonplace?

“A dao alliance!” Someone grasped the situation at hand. Had these people blindly signed an agreement to a dao alliance??

The Red Moon master was utterly livid and mortified.

I... this seat... I...

He wanted to personally murder every single one of the Orchid Forest master’s ancestors. He never should’ve accepted this animal’s surrender!

“Orchid Forest, you pig!” The Red Moon started yelling every insult he could think of, throwing out his usual composure. What was a gentlemanly composure worth at this point?

I must have been crazy to accept Orchid Forest! He’ll be the death of me!

Meanwhile, the Orchid Forest master smirked and looked up at the sky.

How interesting. Perhaps a lot of interesting things would happen this time.

King of Silver Moon, if you can take the Red Moon dao universe... it won’t just be a matter of raiding their home. You’ll have an entire eighth rank dao universe!

My Orchid Forest will receive a share of the spoils then, right?

Hahahahaha!!

It didn’t matter if he died during the tribulation. Orchid Forest would ultimately be a winner—assuming, that was, the Silver Moon king was a trustworthy man who kept his promise. The Orchid Forest master would lose immensely if not!

“Who is willing to be a slave?!” bellowed the Orchid Forest. “Fog Mountain was not willing, why would Orchid Forest be willing?! We have made our way through the chaos for countless eons. Are you worthy of being my master?!”

You are not! So I will resist you even if I die! Not to mention, a chance has appeared in front of me!

It’s your fault for being too stupid and believing that I really would surrender! Why would I surrender to you??

Exalted emperors standing in the distance were shellshocked. Even the master of Light couldn’t help but cast a look at Flare Sun behind him. Their worldview had been rocked by too much today!

Fog Mountain’s secession, Orchid Forest’s rebellion, the ambush on Red Moon...

All of it pointed to the fact that no one was willing to be a slave or be subject to someone else’s rule!

I’ve made it to seventh rank, so you are not worthy of bringing me to heel!

“Flare Sun...” The Light master actually wished to say that

if you want to leave after this, go ahead. I... can barely sleep well at night after all of these events...

Fucking hell!

It was the first time in many years that he’d felt such an acute threat.

On the other hand, Flare Sun was quite wordless.

I’ve never said I wanted to leave, alright?? And these people...

Forget it, it wasn’t his place to say anything. In all honesty, all would be fine so long as the world master treated his people better. Who would turn on anyone if they were all brothers?

Yet whether it was Red Moon or Skycloud, they squeezed every drop out of their subordinates. This was what gave rise to such an uproar.

The ownership of a ninth rank major world had not yet been decided, but a great many premier heavyweights might die today!

......

Orchid Forest’s betrayal was the final nail in the Red Moon master’s coffin.

Perhaps it couldn’t be considered a betrayal, more of a demonstration that something forced was never ideal. Backlash was inevitable if one forced a surrender from someone unwilling to bow their head.

However, the Red Moon master never anticipated that the backlash would come so quickly. The alliance of great dao!

He’d thought it a stroke of brilliance before, now it delivered a devastating blow.

Kaboom!!

A long blade accompanied the arrival of the thunder tribulation. An overjoyed Human King roared with laughter. Damn this felt good!

The Red Moon master howled in response, shaking the dao of desire!

All of Skyward was enveloped within desire. “Can you guys kill me?!” he snarled. “Are you worthy?! I am an eighth rank!”

He was one of the strongest people in existence!

The Human King could kill seventh ranks, but he did fall a bit short when it came to eighth ranks. Even eighth ranks would find it hard to kill a peer.

The Human King sneered after hacking a few times, then abruptly turned around to rush the two seventh ranks.

Very good, then eat some thunderbolts first! Those two are much weaker than you, aren’t they? I can kill seventh ranks in ordinary times, it’ll be even easier to kill two struck by a seventh rank chaos tribulation!

The two seventh ranks panicked; the Nether Moon master was on the verge of a mental breakdown. When the Human King killed the Utmost Dark master a while ago, he insisted that it was the master of Nether Moon. He’d already been frightened out of his wits then. This time... he might really die to the Human King!
