Chapter 130: Chapter 130 [Hao Tian Establishes His Authority, Inviting the Wolf into the House] (Please Subscribe)

Above the vault of heaven, countless Great Dao runes circulate, enveloping the "Hao Tian Sword", a golden immortal radiance illuminates the heavens, brewing a terrifying force of utter destruction.

"The Heavenly Demon Slaying God Technique!"

Seeing this, Gui Che dared not be careless. Boundless Evil Qi converged, twining around the "Void-breaking Spear", an instant force capable of slaughtering gods and immortals swept through the heavens.

This was a battle for dignity!

If today he lost to Hao Tian, he would undoubtedly become the mockery of the many powerhouses of the Primordial Land.

"Fire God Pearl!"

Immediately after, Gui Che offered another Innate Spiritual Treasure, summoning a Fire Demon that loomed, wielding the power to incinerate the heavens, striking towards the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form of Hao Tian.

"With such little tricks, you dare show off in front of Us?" With the upper hand, Hao Tian was merciless. The authority of the Heavenly Emperor transformed into brilliant, unparalleled golden Order Divine Chains, coupled with the "Hao Tian Tower", unleashing a formidable unparalleled force. He laughed loudly, "Today, let your blood forge my path as the Heavenly Emperor!"

Boom!

The Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form grew more majestic, an imposing force capable of suppressing everything. After cultivating for eons beside Daoist Ancestor, his application of Divine Skills was not to be taken lightly.

The "Hao Tian Sword", the "Hao Tian Tower", the "Hao Tian Mirror", three Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures worked in tandem, amply equipping him with the power that could rival a Quasi-Saint in the late stage.

Many cultivators were instantly shocked by the power Hao Tian displayed, and those without Innate Spiritual Treasures couldn’t help but reveal envious gazes.

Upon seeing this, Gold Star Taibai and others also began to slaughter Gui Che’s subordinates. With their Daluo Golden Immortal-level combat power, they could absolutely dominate all opposition.

As for the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, they were just making up the numbers. In battles among those at the Daluo level or higher, those soldiers were utterly useless.

"Suiren" was particularly zealous, with the phantom of the Sui Ming Tree emerging behind him, obscuring millions of miles of the void, directly bringing down a terrifying firestorm from the Nine Layers Heaven.

The Human Race and Demon Clan had deep-seated hatred. As a member of the Human Race, it would be difficult to justify not exerting his full effort. His horrific flames instantly annihilated hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers.

Killing other races might have accrued Karma, but the Demon Clan was already despised by gods and detested by ghosts, with most bearing heavy Karma. Killing them incurred no fault and might even earn praise from the Heavenly Dao.

"This Daoist will also contribute his strength!"

Seeing Suiren exert himself so, Plague Daoist immediately offered the "Pan King Primordial Gu Sword", manipulating myriads of Gu worms flying towards the Demon Clan’s army.

Upon witnessing this, Xuanqing Daoist also threw out a handful of seeds. The power of creation surfaced instantly, and those seeds immediately turned into horrific "Bloodthirsty Demon Vines".

These "Bloodthirsty Demon Vines", cultivated through the Dao of Agriculture, were like sharks smelling blood, refusing to cease until their enemies were torn to pieces.

In the struggles within the realms of Daluo, these might not have much effect, but they were absolutely overwhelming in their slaughter of the endlessly emerging demon soldiers.

"Since that’s the case, let the few Daoists witness my methods too!"

Seeing figures like Suiren exert themselves, the Cyan God also felt it was inappropriate just to watch. He immediately offered a chessboard and evolved myriads of thunderous hells.

It was the "Yin Yang Chessboard" he obtained at Treasure Dividing Rock, a High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, capable of evolving myriad "Yin Yang Divine Thunders" with the Yin Yang power within the board.

Ma Yi, the immortal, was not to be outdone. With a swing of his dual swords, numerous Taiyi Demon Kings fell. The splendid sword light was enough to eradicate everything.

Fu Yuan Immortal Elder was entangled by a Daluo Demon God. The Divine Talismans he cast from his hands at least ensured the Daluo Demon God could not threaten his life.

Gold Star Taibai also shed his usual guise of "Mr. Nice Guy". In his hand, the "Taibai Immortal Sword" was unmatched, its terrifying Geng Metal Sword Qi swept through the heavens.

With Taibai’s intervention, a killing spree ensued. As the Golden Star God, Gold Star Taibai’s combat power was not to be underestimated. Other Daluo might not necessarily be his match.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing the Daluo he brought so energetically engaged, Hao Tian was overjoyed, and his offensive became even more fierce. "Gui Che, you should just surrender! If you admit defeat now and submit to Us, We can let bygones be bygones!"

"Never!"

Gui Che’s eyes glinted with ferocity. With a thrust of his spear, a Fire Phoenix phantom immediately roared towards the "Hao Tian Tower". To demand his surrender was more painful to him than death.

Because he had already imagined how those Primordial powerhouses would gossip about him after today!

Unable to defeat even a child!

However, Hao Tian’s methods indeed alarmed him, especially with the "Hao Tian Tower" protecting him, his techniques could not affect Hao Tian at all.

"There’s a long way to go!"

He feinted with his spear but ultimately abandoned the Demon Clan troops and vanished into the void. "Hao Tian, Dong Wang Gong and Emperor Jun are precedents for you!"

It had to be said, surviving the Witch Demon War was no simple feat. In the blink of an eye, Gui Che managed to escape tens of millions of miles of space.

Hao Tian wanted to pursue but was also worried, fearing falling into Gui Che’s trap!

After all...

Although Gui Che was alone and weak, within the Primordial World, there were countless ambitious beings harboring animosity towards him, eager to usurp his position as the Heavenly Emperor.

"Suppress!"

Seeing Gui Che flee, Hao Tian immediately took action, aiding Fu Yuan Immortal Elder in suppressing the Daluo Demon God before him. The "Hao Tian Tower" erupted with an immense, unrivaled power.

That Daluo Demon God had not expected Gui Che to flee so quickly. With a ruthless heart, he chose to self-detonate his painstakingly cultivated Heavenly Demon true body instead!

Boom!

The terrifying power swept across a million miles of void. His Primordial Spirit instantly broke free from the suppression of the "Hao Tian Tower". Yet before traveling far, it was immediately nailed to the void by the "Pan King Primordial Gu Sword".

Plague Daoist had always been paying close attention to the battlefield, of course, he wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

Elsewhere, the Cyan God and Ma Yi, the great immortal, joined forces to slay another Daluo Demon God, its huge body crashing onto the Primordial Land.

On witnessing this, Hao Tian immediately praised, "We could win this battle, and everyone’s efforts are indispensable!"

"Your Majesty has overpraised us!"

The Cyan God hastily bowed in response.

Yet Ma Yi, the great immortal, couldn’t help but glance at the Spiritual Treasures in Hao Tian’s hands, a flash of ambition passing quickly, but Hao Tian failed to notice this insignificant anomaly.

This time, although Gui Che managed to escape, it allowed many cultivators of the Primordial World to witness Hao Tian’s strength, potentially altering the entrenched perceptions of the beings of Primordial.

"Your Majesty is mighty and powerful!"

Gold Star Taibai praised Hao Tian aptly: "With your display of divine power in this battle, many cultivators will undoubtedly prostrate before Your Majesty’s imperial throne!"

As for "Suiren" and "Plague Daoist," "Hanging Gardens Daoist," they silently cleaned up the battlefield, not echoing Gold Star Taibai’s words.

Xuanqing also, through several of his incarnations, learned about Hao Tian’s capabilities, stronger than an average Quasi-Saint, but definitely not a match for seasoned Quasi-Saints like Kunpeng!

Of course, as an Emperor Dao cultivator, the Heavenly Emperor personally anointed by Daoist Ancestor, as long as the fortune of the Heavenly Court continues to grow, Hao Tian’s strength will definitely see rapid improvement.

Hao Tian’s strength is linked with the Heavenly Court’s fortune; they flourish and decline together!

...

Sensing Hao Tian’s strength, the first to feel uneasy was Ao Hong and other ambitious beings!

Especially Ao Hong, who had barely achieved Quasi-Saint status with the help of the Ancestor Dragon Pearl, was comparable in strength to Gui Che and could definitely not defeat Hao Tian head-on!

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind: "Since I can’t defeat him, then I’ll join him proactively. I want to see if Hao Tian can tolerate me, a rebel of the Dragon Clan!"

His intention was not to submit to Hao Tian but rather to cultivate using the Heavenly Court’s fortune until the right opportunity arose to take Hao Tian’s place as the Heavenly Emperor!

Moreover, if he joined the Heavenly Court, he could leverage its power to confront the Dragon Clan, and thus gradually erode both the power of the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas.

"What?"

Upon hearing Ao Hong’s thoughts, Ji Meng also couldn’t help feeling a sense of madness: "Are you insane! Aren’t you afraid Hao Tian will join forces with the Dragon Clan to have you executed?"

"He wouldn’t dare!"

Ao Hong sneered: "If someone like me, a Quasi-Saint offers himself to him and he betrays me to the Dragon Clan, then who in the Primordial World would dare join him?"

Hearing this, Ji Meng involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air: "Ao Hong Daoist, this is a clear strategy!"

If Hao Tian accepts Ao Hong, he will inevitably clash with the Dragon Clan. If he doesn’t accept Ao Hong, then perhaps by the next day, he will be criticized for not having the capacity to accommodate others!

Even if Hao Tian discovers Ao Hong’s ambition and wants to use him in turn, with him and Bing Yi here to help, Hao Tian’s plans will not succeed!

"What a strategy!"

Bing Yi also couldn’t help but feel enlightened by the prospect.

Deciding on his plan, Ao Hong immediately led a faction of his forces towards the South Heavenly Gate, openly declaring his wish to seek Hao Tian’s protection.

"This..."

Hao Tian, upon hearing this, was first overjoyed but then couldn’t help frowning.

Clearly, he also knew Ao Hong’s identity; if the Heavenly Court accepted Ao Hong, it would inevitably offend the Dragon Clan, but if they didn’t accept Ao Hong and his followers... then the myriad beings of the Primordial World would think he feared the Dragon Clan!

After much deliberation, Hao Tian still decided to accept Ao Hong and appointed him as the War God of the Heavenly Court, responsible for subduing and punishing those unwilling to submit to the Heavenly Court.

After all...

This is a Quasi-Saint powerhouse; properly utilized, he is definitely a sharp knife!

As for the Dragon Clan, although they have several powerhouses, with himself anointed by the Daoist Ancestor, even if they had the guts, they wouldn’t dare to act against him!

Hao Tian was very confident about this!

He also knew that in Primordial, there were no shortage of powerhouses brimming with ambition, wanting to supplant him, but not a single one of them dared to make the first move!

These powerhouses, not daring to provoke Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, could only hope someone else would take the lead!

"Interesting!"

Xuanqing, upon hearing this news, also couldn’t help but laugh: "This matter has really become quite intriguing! Clearly, Ao Hong joins the Heavenly Court with ill intentions, yet Hao Tian actually agreed! He even appointed him as the War God of the Heavenly Court!"

"Isn’t this slapping the Dragon Clan’s face?"

"How unwise!"

But after some thought, if he were in Hao Tian’s position, he would not necessarily fare better than the latter; the current Heavenly Court doesn’t really have any other choice.

"Ao Hong, quite remarkable indeed!"

After pondering for a while, Xuanqing still decided to observe from the sidelines. He was curious to see what kind of impact Ao Hong’s inclusion in the Heavenly Court would bring.

He didn’t believe that someone like Ao Hong would content to be commanded by Hao Tian for a lifetime.

And Hao Tian, unlike Emperor Jun, would not create an Evil Summoning Banner to restrain his subordinates.

Otherwise, once the news got out, no being would dare to join the Heavenly Court!

...

"Outrageous!"

Just as Ao Hong had anticipated, when the old stalwarts of the Dragon Clan learned that he joined the Heavenly Court and had been appointed by Hao Tian as the War God of the Heavenly Court, they were infuriated to the extreme.

Particularly Shenglong and Red Dragon, who wished they could immediately assault the Heavenly Court and execute this Dragon Clan traitor.

"Do not act rashly!"

Candle Dragon, however, was relatively calm: "Hao Tian has a close relationship with Daoist Ancestor, not easily offended! However, I don’t believe Ao Hong would be willing to be subordinate to Hao Tian; by accepting Ao Hong, Hao Tian is bringing a wolf into his home. Let’s just wait and see how this unfolds!"

He had a better understanding of Ao Hong, whose ambition reached the skies but who failed to comprehend the current situation, always thinking he could stir up the winds and clouds like the Ancestor Dragon!

But in his opinion, Ao Hong was just a clown, incapable of stirring any significant waves.

"Yes, ancestor!"

Hearing Candle Dragon’s words, the Dragon Clan, led by Aoguang, immediately felt relieved. With several ancestors present, Ao Hong could not pose a threat to the Dragon Clan.

The urgent task at hand was to find ways to accumulate as much merit as possible to erode the Karma of the Dragon Clan.
