Chapter 1220: There's Always Someone Better (1)

First Profound was Nan Wujiang.

The First Divine Sect master was Yun Chen.

The third principal was still alive.

Great Xia’s multiple character faction was terrifying indeed. It had produced multiple Pseudo Invincibles, all of which had been scheming heavily to complete their dao affirmations. Ye Batian was the sole exception, opting to perform his dao affirmation openly. As a result, he died.

And now, this line had returned to take their revenge.

First Profound had killed the eighth elder right after appearing. The third elder, who was in the midst of fighting Zhu Tiandao, roared with alarm, "First Profound! How could you kill the eighth elder?"

First Profound ignored him. Meanwhile, the group of Sunmoons around Su Yu hurriedly scattered in fear. If First Profound was a human, how about Profound Nine? Things were starting to become clear.

There was indeed a reason behind Xia Family's confidence. The Culture Tomb was the only variable that had ruined their plan. Without the Culture Tomb, the myriad race Invincibles wouldn't have appeared.

And without the myriad race Invincibles, the Xia Family had more than enough strength to deal with all these Pseudo Invincibles arrayed against them. First Profound was strong enough for that.

Divine king Tian Dang smiled, "Nan Wujiang...and Yun Chen. Xia Chen's line is truly impressive. What a pity. This line has produced so many geniuses. Xia Chen, Nan Wujiang, Yun Chen, Ye Batian, Liu Wenyan, Hong Tan, Chen Yong, and Su Yu..."

Each name he mentioned struck the hearts of all the onlookers like a hammer. This was indeed a line of monsters.

"No, that's not all. There's also Xia Longwu and Xia Xiao'er..." The divine king laughed, "Xia Longwu is a student of Wan Tiansheng. Xia Xiao'er learned under Ye Batian. He wasn't accepted as a student officially, but he was taught just like an official student. Your line is too scary. There is a reason why the myriad races can't tolerate the existence of your line."

It would be much more acceptable if the line had only produced a genius or two. But this line was somehow capable of producing a super genius each generation.

Ye Batian might be the fifth principal, but he was actually from the third generation of the multiple character faction. Hong Tan's generation was the fourth generation while Su Yu could be considered a member of both the fifth and sixth generations. It had only been about three hundred years since the first generation.

In only a few generations, they had produced multiple Pseudo Invincibles. One of them had nearly succeeded in dao affirmation. What a terrifying line. Great Xia King might have accomplished more than his younger cousin, but Xia Chen had produced a much more powerful line.

Divine King Tian Dang said, "Friends who are observing from the darkness. I'm only here as a tri-life body. I might not be enough to deal with Nan Wujiang. Even if you're uninterested in the Culture Tomb, I believe we can all agree that Nan Wujiang must die. None of you want to see him affirming his dao, right?"

At that, the air warped as a devil stepped out.

"Devil King Mohe."

The devils exclaimed in joy. A devil king had arrived!

With the divine king to his front and the devil king to his back, First Profound found himself surrounded. He had not bothered to take his mask off. With a smile, he said, "You are overesting me. Is there a need for you to pay so much attention to me? My dao affirmation will be different from the dao affirmation of someone from the multiple character faction. My main character has been destroyed. I am only aiming to achieve a regular physical dao affirmation. You should leave me alone and save yourself the loss of your tri-life bodies."

"You're very confident." The devil king said, "Nan Wujiang, your appearance won't change anything. It's the same as throwing your life away. You should have stayed obediently in the pavilion. That way, you might still be able to live longer."

First Profound sighed, "The multiple character faction has sacrificed and lost too much. Since the death of Ye Batian, I have been contemplating revenge. I also wondered if I should let the multiple character faction fade from the memories of everyone. But I was wrong. Some people in my line are still struggling. They are unwilling to give up. In that case...I shouldn't have given up as well."

He had indeed wondered if he should allow the multiple character faction to fade away. That would benefit both him and Yun Chen. That might make their path to dao affirmation smoother. But ultimately, he had still decided to come out of hiding.

Revenge.

And proof.

He would have his revenge. He would prove just how powerful Great Xia's multiple character faction was. He would make all the human experts who had abandoned them regret their past actions. He would let everyone know that his line was filled with absolute geniuses.

He had recruited Su Yu into the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion to protect Su Yu in his own way. Additionally, he had also done so to figure out a way to sever Su Yu's connection with the ancient city. As for the chaos Su Yu had been causing for the pavilion, that wasn't something he anticipated.

Nan Wujiang, Su Nansheng…

That was a name Nan Wujiang had given Su Yu when he claimed to be Su Yu's grandpa. But there was one thing he hadn't lied about. Nanyuan was his hometown as well. He might not be surnamed Su, but Nanyuan was indeed the place he came from. Many had forgotten that Su Yu was not the only popular individual Nanyuan had produced. Before Su Yu, ther was Nan Wujiang.

That was understandable since he had officially died over a hundred years ago.

One of the Invincible said, "Nan Wujiang, since you have shown yourself, don't bother leaving without us. I believe you don't want to implicate the others, right? Are you coming with us or do we need to make you come with us?"

Nan Wujiang smiled, "It's fine. Let's go together."

At that, a River of Time appeared in the sky and the three vanished inside the river. They reappeared moments later, but it felt as though they were no longer in the same reality as everyone else.

They were still visible to the others, but nobody could feel anything from the three who were engaged in a battle. They had entered a different dimension. This was how these top experts would usually fight.

***

Su Yu was feeling extremely nervous as he witnessed the battle.

Two Invincibles!

Sure, they were only here in their tri-life bodies, but First Profound was not an Invincible either. Could he handle them?

Nevertheless, the pressure on the humans had reduced significantly.

Of the seventeen enemy Sunmoons, the First Divine Sect master had killed three, Nan Wujiang had killed one, and Nan Wujiang had killed one. Only twelve remained. That was still a big number, but the strength on humanity's side had also increased considerably compared to the start.

Marquis Xia, the First Divine Sect master, and Niu Baidao had all been revealed as Pseudo Invincibles. Liu Wenyan was also fighting with a combat strength beyond the ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm thanks to Ye Batian's character. Zhu Tiandao had been able to keep a Pseudo Invincible busy from the start of the battle, even if he looked quite miserable doing it.

One could say that they had five combatants at the level of Pseudo Invincibles on their side. They were only slightly outnumbered. Zhu Tiandao, in particular, looked like he was having a very bad time from all the wounds on his body. No, Qin Hao was suffering even more. His body was on the verge of breaking apart.

One trump card after another was revealed.

Alas, the traitor was still nowhere to be seen.

Su Yu couldn't even be bothered by the reaction of the Sunmoons around him. Rather, he was wondering if Wan Tiansheng was going to keep waiting. But what exactly was the point? Not even Liu Wenyan's breakthrough had caused the traitor to appear.

Would the traitor even appear? The traitor was too patient. Or perhaps the bait was simply not tempting enough.

𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Suddenly, a realization came to Su Yu.

Why was the traitor still not appearing? Because the dao affirmations in the Allheaven Battlefield had yet to start. The human Invincibles might turn around and return to the Human Realm at any time. That would be a lot more troublesome for the traitor to handle.

At that moment, someone spoke, reinforcing Su Yu's conclusion. "How foolish. The third principal has appeared too early. Yun Chen, you were too impatient.

Yet another person had arrived. That was a youth. No, the youth had transformed into a young woman. No, the young woman had transformed into an old man… With each step, the newcomer transformed into a different person.

With a helpless and regretful expression, the newcomer sighed, "How idiotic. You must be ready to let some people die. This is the biggest weakness of the multiple character faction. You are too soft. This isn't the limit of the Xia Family. They will survive even if they lose a few more people. You guys should have waited until the dao affirmations begin. That will allow the traitor to appear without any misgivings..."

The newcomer complained regretfully, "Too stupid..."

But suddenly, a sweet smile bloomed on his face, "What a pity. Truly a pity. I was hoping that after killing the traitor, humanity would be able to stand up again and help fulfill my dream of forging an era of prosperity and peace. What a pity."

"Lan Tian!" The devil Pseudo Invincible said, "Lan Tian, are you betraying the devils?"

Lan Tian asked, "What do you mean I'm betraying the devil? I'm a human. I've always been a human. I have always said that my cooperation with the devils or anyone else is all for the rise of humanity. I have been saying this since the very beginning. Am I right, my lovely believers?"

"Yes."

Countless individuals appeared in the sky. Some looked fanatical, and some simply looked mad.

"Humanity shall rise. Peace to the Myriad Realms. The Holy Sect shall prevail."

"The Holy Sect is everlasting!"

A group of fanatical believers had appeared. They were the members of the Original Devil Sect. No, they had never called themselves that. They had always claimed to be the members of the Holy Sect.

Lan Tian was their saint. According to Lan Tian, he was the great saint destined to save humanity from all suffering.

With his ever-changing appearance, Lan Tian laughed and said, "Believers of the Holy Sect, go forth and do battle. Blood needs to flow for the sake of peace. Kill these invaders. We will forge our holy land. Anywhere we stand on shall become our holy land."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At that, the fanatical believers swarmed the battlefield. Some were Skysoars, some were Cloudbreaches, some were Mountainseas, and there was even a Sunmoon among them. But a majority of them were merely Infinite Strength and Great Strength cultivators.

Yes. Lan Tian had arrived with all his believers. They feared not death. They feared not pain. They charged into the battlefield, akin to moths throwing themselves into the flame.

Then, Lan Tian strode forth. Walking on thin air, he walked toward the Pseudo Invincible Administrator Hu and General Zhao were fighting. A smile bloomed on his face as he said, "Administrator Hu, General Zhao, the two of you are too weak. Why don't you join my Holy Sect and fight for peace..."

Administrator Hu and General Zhao looked incomparably solemn.

That was Lan Tian.

A lunatic.

There was no doubt that this was a lunatic. Even if he was fighting on their side, they still couldn't help but view him as an absolute lunatic.

Lan Tian had lost his mind long ago. As the eyewitnesses to Lan Tian's betrayal back then, they both believed that Lan Tian was already mad back then.

Step after step, Lan Tian advanced. His aura grew, eventually reaching the ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm. With a casual wave of his hand, he ripped space apart and revealed the River of Time.

With a laugh, Lan Tian asked, "I lack something. A carrier treasure. I need one to become a Pseudo Invincible. Any kind fellow daoist interested in lending me one?"

His gaze landed on a dragon Pseudo Invincible.

A sweet smile bloomed on his face as he asked, "The dragons are known for their excessive sex drive. Lord Dragon, how about a night with me for a carrier treasure?"

The dragon's face fell as he answered with his claws.

Lan Tian was instantly torn apart. But the expression of the dragon turned into one of shock. All around him, countless Lan Tians had appeared. Some were men, some were women. Some were old, some were young.

"Don’t do me like that, Lord Dragon!" said a seductive Lan Tian.

"Accept your death, beast!" said an aggressive Lan Tian.

"This dragon is unlikely to live a long life,” said a stern Lan Tian.

"Ahhh, a dragon! This is so scary!" said a timid Lan Tian.
