The Blood Blade Divine Emperor and the other Overlords felt a faint sense of gratitude toward the mysterious ‘Gugan Luo.’ If not for Gugan Luo, although they had suspected the Mother Goddess Cult of harboring ill intentions, they would still have been utterly clueless about their true schemes. Now, however, everything was clear: “The Mother Goddess cultivation system, setting up the Mother Goddess Altar—they actually intend to transform the entire universe?”
“They plan to annihilate all life in our universe. Since we haven’t yet taken the final step, being forced to leave would mean certain death.” A surge of overwhelming killing intent, ten or even a hundred times stronger than before, rose in the hearts of the Blood Blade Divine Emperor, the Primordial Master, and the others.
Unbeknownst to them, they had no retreat left. All of this was forced upon them by the Mother Goddess Cult!
…
“Damn it!” In the vast hall of the Mother Goddess Cult, the Tusked Cult Master and the other cult leaders’ expressions darkened slightly. They had operated in the shadows, with the cultivators knowing little about them. But now, Gugan Luo had exposed everything in an instant, and the cultivators would surely fight them to the death!
“Devotee Guardian, you must seize control of this Chaos Voidship at all costs. We have no retreat now, and the cultivators will undoubtedly fight us to the bitter end. Without the Chaos Voidship, our chances of victory will be slim.” The Tusked Cult Master transmitted his message. With the Chaos Voidship, their confidence would be unshakable, but without it, they felt uncertain.
…
Inside the Chaos Voidship.
Dongbo Xueying, the Witch Moth Monarch, the Annihilation Monarch, and the other Venerables hovering mid-air also received the Blood Blade Divine Emperor’s message: “If not for Gugan Luo’s revelation, we would never have known the Mother Goddess Cult harbored such a plan—to annihilate all life in our universe. This war will determine the survival of all cultivators, even the countless weak mortals… This Chaos Voidship must never fall into the hands of the Mother Goddess Cult!”
Dongbo Xueying and the others also gazed at the massive statue below.
The statue of Gugan Luo grinned, his smile eerie and twisted. He had spoken to incite even fiercer slaughter between the two sides. His voice boomed, resonating throughout the pocket world: “Kill, kill! The weak perish, the strong survive. Only the last one standing among you… will be worthy of facing me!”
“Lord Gugan Luo.”
At another location, the golden-furred ape, leader of the Mother Goddess Cult’s guardians, spoke up. “Among us and these cultivator Venerables, some are exceptionally skilled at survival. It may be difficult to reduce the numbers to just one.”
The statue of Gugan Luo glanced at the distant golden-furred ape and grinned. “You make a fair point. I can see that the woman beside you with the hooked tail possesses extraordinary defense—so strong, in fact, that even you would struggle to kill her. And among the cultivators, the one shrouded in cyan light is equally resilient.”
“The woman with the venomous hooked tail?” Dongbo Xueying and the others were momentarily stunned before realizing. Gugan Luo was referring to one of the three Sacred Guardians—the woman with the hooked tail. Her defense was that formidable? For Gugan Luo to praise it as ‘extraordinarily strong,’ just how powerful was she?
The Mother Goddess Cult guardians, however, were furious. Why did this Chaos Voidship master, Gugan Luo, keep exposing their secrets?
“To avoid wasting time, here’s what we’ll do.” The statue of Gugan Luo lowered its gaze, its blood-red gem-like eyes emitting beams of light that illuminated a hazy crimson zone on the ground below, roughly a hundred meters in radius.
“Whoever among you can remain within this zone for more than ten breaths will be the helper I select.” Gugan Luo declared. “Now, no more delays—begin!”
The moment the words left his mouth—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The Mother Goddess Cult guardians dove downward, charging toward the crimson zone.
But the cultivator Venerables, aided by the Demon Phoenix’s teleportation, instantly appeared within the zone. Though the space was limited, it was more than enough to accommodate them.
“Kill!” The golden-furred ape’s eyes burned with killing intent as he led the other guardians into battle.
Boom—!
In an instant, the cultivator Venerables and the Mother Goddess Cult guardians clashed in a brutal melee.
The North Profound Palace Master unleashed his formations, the Witch Moth Monarch engaged the three Sacred Guardians, and the Annihilation Monarch fought with everything he had. Dongbo Xueying, the White Monarch, the Water Demon King, the Infernal Grand Marshal, the Ascetic, the Firebrand Venerable, the Bamboo Mountain Mansion Master, and others all fought desperately. Even the ‘Sage Ye,’ whose power had surged unexpectedly due to a formidable armguard, engaged the elite guardians head-on. Every single one of them gave their all.
“Die!” The golden-furred ape roared, his eyes suddenly shooting forth two beams of golden light—razor-sharp weapons that pierced through multiple cultivator Venerables. The attack was so sudden that five Venerables were instantly struck, their bodies cleaved apart.
Fortunately, Dongbo Xueying, utilizing the Void World, teleported beside the golden-furred ape and thrust his Blood Serpent Spear toward the ape’s eye, interrupting the attack. The ape closed its eyes and swung a massive palm with overwhelming force. Unwilling to take the blow head-on, Dongbo Xueying teleported away once more.
The sheer power of the ape’s strike was terrifying—even a glancing hit would send him flying, and that was while hiding in the Void World! Without that protection, a single slap would likely crush him to death.
Still, his ability to abruptly intervene against a Sacred Guardian spoke volumes about Dongbo Xueying’s strength. Among the cultivators, only he, the White Monarch, and the Water Demon King dared to attempt such feats.
Of course, the Witch Moth Monarch and the Annihilation Monarch were locked in direct combat with the Sacred Guardians.
…
The battle was brutal.
The Mother Goddess Cult fought with reckless abandon, desperate to secure victory in the shortest time possible. The golden-furred ape and the other two Sacred Guardians unleashed their treasures—the ape’s eyes periodically emitted devastating golden beams, sharp enough to cut through anything. The venomous-tailed woman embedded an emerald crystal into her forehead, occasionally unleashing attacks of terrifying power that even the Annihilation Monarch could not withstand, leaving him grievously wounded in an instant…
The staff-wielding giant occasionally spewed forth torrents of terrifyingly dense water, so heavy that even the Witch Moth Monarch was sent flying, unable to aid the Annihilation Monarch. Left defenseless, the already severely wounded Annihilation Monarch was slain once more!
In just three breaths of combat, the Annihilation Monarch had fallen.
Of course, his true body remained outside the Chaos Voidship, and a clone would soon return. But cultivating a clone took time—time the Mother Goddess Cult was determined to deny them. They knew they couldn’t afford a prolonged battle. The longer it dragged on, the more clones the cultivator Venerables could produce, allowing them to fight endlessly.
“With the three Sacred Guardians going all out, even the Annihilation Monarch couldn’t hold them off. Don’t we have any powerful treasures of our own?” Dongbo Xueying grew anxious. Relying on the Void World, he teleported frantically across the battlefield, trying to stem the tide. He did his best to aid the Annihilation Monarch, but now, armed with their treasures, each of the three Sacred Guardians surpassed the Annihilation Monarch in strength.
How could they possibly turn the tide?
Even the Witch Moth Monarch had been blasted away.
“All we have is the North Profound Palace Master’s formations?” Dongbo Xueying despaired. Though the formations, bestowed by the Blood Blade Divine Emperor, were formidable—allowing them to dominate in previous battles—they were now utterly outmatched by the three Sacred Guardians wielding their treasures. The cultivators had been forced into a desperate, losing struggle.
Deep down, Dongbo Xueying understood: to reverse the tide in a battle between two groups of elite guardians and Venerables, the treasures required would need to elevate a Venerable’s power to the level of an Overlord.
How rare and precious were such treasures?
The Mother Goddess Cult, with no retreat left, had spared no expense in preparing these three treasures for their Sacred Guardians. The cultivators’ universe simply lacked treasures capable of amplifying a Venerable’s strength to such an extent.
