LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 5 - The Battle for the Primordial Gourd Vine, Ye Xiu's Sword Slave!
Chapter 5: The Battle for the Primordial Gourd Vine, Ye Xiu’s Sword Slave!
Looking at Mount Buzhou it remained tranquil, with ever-changing weather…
At this moment, everyone held their breath, nerves tense, and cast cautious glances at Ye Xiu. Even though Ye Xiu had used his incredible powers to sever their connection with the Primordial Gourd Vine, the Sanqing and others were unwilling to leave empty-handed.
Although they knew Ye Xiu was enigmatic and powerful!
Dong Huang Taiyi wielded the Chaos Bell, radiating the aura of celestial emperors. He wore a purple-gold crown, surveying the primordial chaos, exuding an imperial dominance. Beside him, Di Jun held the River Map and Luo Book, emanating supreme imperial might, with the Golden Crow’s flames burning behind him.
Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi displayed their formidable powers, like two radiant suns, instantly raising the world’s temperature as if to consume it!
For the first time since their ascension, the Sanqing, Di Jun, Dong Huang Taiyi, and others felt such a grave threat!
Gradually, the atmosphere in the scene solidified…
The nine figures on Mount Buzhou, nine great celestial immortals, formed an intimidating formation that seemed unbreakable, but Ye Xiu completely disregarded them, speaking coldly. He stood with his hands behind his back, a black robe fluttering without a breeze. His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and his chiseled face exuded disdain for everything, displaying unparalleled elegance.
“Are you not leaving yet? Do you plan to become my guests?” He said, ignoring their formidable lineup.
As these words were spoken, thunder suddenly resounded in the sky, with massive lightning serpents tearing through the heavens, manifesting terrifying omens. Whether it was the response of the cosmic order or Ye Xiu’s thoughts in action, even the mighty celestial immortals trembled at this moment.
“You have taken away our destined opportunities with just a word, Elder. This is not right,” Laozi cautiously remarked, his expression revealing some fear.
“Indeed, Elder, your actions are not befitting of a great being!” Another chimed in.
Following suit, Di Jun and Dong Huang Taiyi also expressed their discontent.
While Nüwa, Fuxi, Hongyun, and Zhenyuanzi remained silent, they were equally unwilling to depart without a resolution. These nine individuals had formed a united front in their resentment and determination to confront Ye Xiu.
Kunpeng, hidden in the shadows, watched the scene with bated breath, both nervous and excited, intending to capitalize on the conflict and reap the rewards.
……
When the time comes…
“Moral coercion?” Ye Xiu chuckled upon seeing everyone’s posture, his words carrying a hint of resignation.
In the world of Honghuang, strength reigned supreme. Even during the chaotic era, Ye Xiu had wielded his formidable power, dominating without restraint. But now, he was morally coerced by a group of juniors. He couldn’t think it was ironic. He knew that the Sanqing and others were top primordial beings, proud and unyielding by nature. Trying to intimidate them with mere words seemed impractical.
As he pondered his next move, Ye Xiu lightly pursed his lips and looked at the assembly. He spoke calmly, “Since I have just awakened and have nothing better to do, I’ll indulge you…”
Ye Xiu took a step forward with these words, creating a radiant golden path. The cosmic laws seemed to rise and fall beneath his feet as if he were traversing the very fabric of reality.
Standing tall, he continued, devoid of emotion, “If any of you can withstand a single strike from me, consider this Primordial Gourd Vine a gift from me.”
His seemingly casual words carried an overwhelming sense of authority and divine power that reverberated through the surroundings, shaking the Sanqing and others to their core.
The Sanqing, Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the rest felt a mixture of shock and anger. How dare Ye Xiu insinuate that they were weak?
“We are the true disciples of Pangu, the pride of heaven, blessed with extraordinary fortune and an unlimited path. You, Elder, cannot dismiss us so easily!” Laozi angrily declared.
Heavenly Lord, too, was enraged. He manifested a multi-dimensional world within himself, displaying his might.
Donghuang Taiyi also felt offended and demanded, “Elder, please draw your sword if that’s your intention!”
The emotions of the Sanqing, Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Nüwa, Fuxi, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, and others were stirred by Ye Xiu. Their voices echoed through the universe.
Suddenly, a gust of demonic wind swept in from the sky. Everyone raised their eyebrows, sensing a powerful aura approaching.
Ye Xiu remained composed, his curiosity piqued. Looking into the distance, crimson blood clouds rapidly covered the sky, making the surroundings feel oppressive. Before long, the blood clouds gathered above Mount Buzhou, making the atmosphere heavy. An omen foretold the arrival of mighty beings.
Just as everyone was puzzled, thunder roared in the sky. “Master, Yuan Tu, and Abi have reached their peak. Please retract them,” a voice proclaimed.
“Sword Slave Patriarch Styx respectfully welcomes the master’s return from seclusion!” Another voice echoed.
Rumble…
