Chapter 127: Di Jun vs. Hongjun

Radiance shimmered in Nuwa’s hands, gradually coalescing into an object: the Jade Plate of Creation, which she held as the sovereign of humanity to consecrate the sages of the human path.

Nuwa spoke: "Since the dawn of time, the Primordial Treasure known as the Jade Plate of Creation has been divided into three. Houtu, Hongjun, and I each hold a portion. Under my command are six sages; thus, the plate in my possession contains six strands of Primordial Violet Vapor. There is no such vapor here belonging to you, Daoist Di Jun. However, the power of the Jade Plate is profoundly mysterious and can accommodate the Great Dao..."

Xisi sensed the intent behind Gu Ye’s words, realizing he was trying to restore a shred of her confidence. She nodded gratefully and said, "Please, come in." Without pretense, Gu Ye walked ahead, entering the battle dome and stepping onto the arena.

Tens of thousands of Manchester United fans were celebrating wildly, their shouts venting the frustration that had built up within them. Throughout the long match, though United had kept Liverpool under pressure, the score had remained deadlocked. Now that Forlan had finally broken the seal, United had scored, and the fans finally had an outlet for their emotions.

Yang Feng and Lin Qian’er exchanged glances. Surrounded by seven-colored energy, they plunged into the restrictive barrier of the Heavenly Court.

Hearing the commotion and sensing Yuan Shang’s troops drawing near, Yuan Yao immediately ordered his men to mount their horses and prepare for battle.

As for the Longken mining area promised to Wang Weiqiang, Mo Tianyue did not break his word. With profits of billions per year, there was no need for him to lose his credibility.

However, this was not the peak. If one could master the Nine Talisman Devouring Technique to its Great Accomplishment stage, there would be no need for conscious effort. With a mere thought from Chen Banshan, the Heaven-Devouring Ring could be activated. At that level, it would be far more than just mist; it would unleash a violent devouring force—that was its true power.

The next moment, Gu Yun soared into the air. Using his hand as a blade, he whipped up a ferocious cyan whirlwind and slashed at the terrifying, sharp claw lunging toward Gu Zixuan, severing it in one clean stroke.

At this, the round-faced young master walking at the front flicked his whip. "Pop, pop, pop, pop!" The crisp sounds echoed incessantly, each crack accompanied by a cry of pain.

For the first time, Zhang Riming wished that the principal’s tedious, pretentious speech could be even duller and longer.

With this move, Qingtian manipulated the laws of the Qi-cultivating planet. Under this influence, Master Zhi and Long Zaitian were suddenly sent flying out, followed closely by He Qi, Su Feihong, and the Fat Bird.

Reaching such a realm at this age was rare, even in the Great Thousand Worlds.

"What a pity," Lin Xiangdong said bitterly. "Humanity should have entered a stage of rapid development after surviving the catastrophe, but those bastards on the moon forced it to a halt. Just when we should have been recuperating, humanity had to descend into civil war!"

Many of these were long-held secrets, known only to the oldest among them. Likewise, these senior students had vaguely glimpsed the future; they guessed that if Li Dong did not die, he would become a titan—a figure no one dared provoke.

The Black Guardsman only had time for this fleeting thought before his hands, gripping the Heaven-Opening Blade, suddenly went numb.

After taking a tour and getting a feel for the academy's style, Gui Wuchang decided not to waste any more time.

Yes, this was Zhuge Kongming’s Five Elements Technique. It was a secret passed down only within the Zhuge family, and it was said that no one had ever mastered it because they lacked the weapon needed to catalyze the spells. The feather fan in Liu Zhize’s hand was precisely that catalyst.

At that moment, caught in a dilemma, she felt her body stiffen. Then, her legs moved beyond her control, and she turned and sat down on a stool.

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Qiang pressed the button on his desk to summon security, then leaned back in his boss’s chair, composed and waiting for Chen Yanting’s arrival.

Seeing this result, the crowd erupted in discussion, speculating about the identity of the powerful backer behind Chen Ran. There must have been some under-the-table manipulation! Otherwise, how could he have drawn a bye twice in a row?

"Good, that name is also quite nice. From now on, I shall be called Yue Wuguang," Yue Wuguang said, a hint of excitement in his tone.

I have been in love with Ye Huanghuang for many years, but recently, the love has faded. There is no reason; it simply withered away.

As for their home planet, Lieyang, rumor had it that a sun was sealed within its core, providing energy to the world.

As the beginning of all things and the end of all existence, he was the Heavenly Dao, the Primordial, and the Chaos itself.

Chu Si looked toward the father he had never acknowledged with eyes full of longing. Feeling a mix of sorrow and excitement, he slowly took a step forward.

Ye Xiu suddenly clenched his hand into a fist. A look of firm resolve flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself.

As the canteen of a super five-star hotel, the chef’s skills went without saying. Even without leaving the hotel, one could enjoy top-tier cuisine that did not lose out to any three-star Michelin restaurant.

As for when he could subdue the other party and make them his right-hand man, there was no rush. Cheng Qing was already confident in his plan.

However, in the empty church, apart from the figure burning like a "flame," there was no sign of life. Or rather, there wasn't even a living mouse left in the town; every trace of life had vanished.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyang looked toward Yuan Jue, who nodded, confirming Zhang Ruchu’s statement.

Elsewhere, the two brothers on the run were busy packing. In the middle of it, A-Tai’s body suddenly froze, as if he had just thought of something.

If the Sagittarius Gold Cloth had been with him, Aiolos would have been confident in holding off the two of them alone. But now, facing two fully armed opponents of the same rank while barehanded, even someone as strong as Aiolos felt his heart leap into his throat.

"I don't want to think about those things right now." An Chengyou’s head throbbed, and images from his memories kept flashing and churning.

"I don't even know if I can pass the exam yet, let's wait until I do..." Dong Ruoyu replied casually.

"What’s the situation over there? Tell me!" Wuyou Xiong didn’t bother with further introductions, asking instead about the state of Hades City.

The opposing Gold Saint was left dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Aiolia to be sent flying in the very first exchange, and disfigured to boot.

"Mr. Walker, this is a teaching method I felt was best for these children after my inspection in the Celestial Empire. It may differ from American education and might hinder their growth, but for them, it is the best way to be educated," the dean said happily.
