Even though Fang Chu was stronger than he had assumed, it was not the worst kind of situation.
Huwang Xiao was just in need of someone to test his full strength, and Fang Chu was undoubtedly the ideal candidate.
Hearing Huwang Xiao’s words, Fang Chu’s laughter turned sinister, “Assured? Since it’s like that, Huwang Xiao, I won’t kill you immediately. In a while, I will make sure you slowly feel the fear of death, then I'll play with you until you die!”
A glaring light rose behind Fang Chu. The shadow of a great gate then emerged from that light before Huwang Xiao and the others.
This great gate seemingly incorporated every color existing in the world, manifesting as sea of brilliant lights. In the blink of an eye, it had gone through a myriad of changes.
“You actually condensed the Gate of Fortune!” Wang Yanhui blurted out in terror.
Wangu Yanhui had some knowledge about the Fortune Gate, as well as it’s ultimate cultivation technique, Gate of Fortune. Only those who achieved perfect completion could condense the Gate of Fortune using the fortune energy in their bodies.
It was said that, in the whole Fortune Gate, only the Chief and Ancestor could condense the Gate of Fortune, yet right now, in front of them, Fang Chu condensed that very same gate!
Both Fortune Gate Chief and Ancestor were masters of Tenth Order Highgod Realm, it was granted they could comprehend the Gate of Fortune cultivation technique to the perfection stage. On the other hand, Fang Chu’s cultivation was only at Fifth Order Highgod Realm, but he could already condense the Gate of Fortune. This was the most frightening point.
The last ray of hope in Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei’s hearts shattered.
“Yes, this is the Gate of Fortune.” Just as Fang Chu’s voice sounded, he moved, attacking in a flicker. His powerful palm struck down but not toward Huwang Xiao. This attack was at aimed at Wangu Yanhui.
The Gate of Fortune’s energy rolled out, multiplying the power of Fang Chu’s palm as if it aimed to sunder the land.
Wangu Yanhui was shocked and furious watching Fang Chu suddenly target him instead, however, just as he was about to use some godforce, he discovered to his dismay that his godforce was suppressed by a terrifying force! He couldn’t use even a strand of it!
“Shit!” Wangu Yanhui was afraid and panicked.
Fang Chu’s powerful palm closed in, striking Wangu Yanhui on the chest; the overwhelming force sent him flying back, slamming horizontally against the wall and then crashing down to the floor. Blood was being coughed up by the mouthful, staining Wangu Yanhui’s face, robe, and the floor.
Defeated in one move!
Watching this, Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei’s faces had lost all colors.
Fang Chu coldly watched Wangu Yanhui lying on the floor, his chuckle harsh to the ears, “I forgot to tell you that my Gate of Fortune can suppress all kinds of godforce!”
This sounded like the final nail in the coffin for Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei.
Suppress all kinds of godforce!
Fang Chu was already a Fifth Order Highgod Realm, and on top of that, their godforce was being suppressed, how the hell were they going to fight?
Ch.877
Fang Chu then directed his gaze at Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei.
Seeing Fang Chu looking in their direction, the three of them were truly afraid. The three of them tried to dodge in panic, but were a step too late.
Then, with a flash of light, three shadows of Fang Chu appeared, striking out their palms at the same time.
Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei were like withered leaves blown by the tempest, the three of them flew across the hall in different directions, crashing into the wall.
In an instant, the air was thick with the scent of blood.
Fang Chu watched the four figures grunting on the floor with thick contempt, “What bullshit greatest geniuses in ten million years, useless, no different than trash.”
The four men trembled in anger.
“Fang Chu, I don’t believe you really dare to kill us.” Mu Qi roared, “You really think the Fortune Gate can protect you?”
This sentence bore some truth. Not to mention the Mu Clan, the Dark Elf Tribe, or the Orthodox Yang Sect, just a single Wangu Clan was a power that the Fortune Gate was incapable of clashing head-on with.
Even if Fang Chu killed all of them and obtained all the treasures inside this Lightning God cultivation dwelling, once he returned, only death would await him.
Especially with Wangu Yanhui being the Wangu Clan’s most talented genius in the last ten million years. If Wangu Yanhui was killed, the Wangu Clan would make every effort and kill Fang Chu no matter the cost.
Fang Chu burst out laughing, unperturbed in the slightest, “As long as I get the treasures in this Lighting God’s heritage and take the first place in the tournament, I can just ascend to the Divine World, what the f*ck are the Wangu and Mu Clans? What can they do to me? What can you do to me?”
Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei despaired.
Just like Fang Chu said, he could ascend to the Divine World once the tournament ended. The Wangu Clan, Mu Clan, and the two other forces could do naught about it.
After knowing that Fang Chu already had an escape plan, their eyes dimmed, despair squeezing their hearts.
Fang Chu’s three shadows converged into one body, which clasped his hands at his back and approached Huwang Xiao in leisurely steps, “Huwang Xiao, it is now your turn.” His faint smile turned sinister, “Don’t you have anything you want to say? Or kneel and beg me not to kill you, swearing to serve me as master, and become my dog like Wang Na and the others?”
“This way, I might consider sparing your life!”
With every step he took, the Gate of Fortune behind him would almost double in size. The fortune energy rushing out from the Gate of Fortune shook the surrounding space.
As the fortune energy in the hall increased, Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei discovered that their godforce was thoroughly suppressed.
Looking at Fang Chu walking over, Huwang Xiao calmly replied, “Today, even if you kneel and beg me to let you become my most loyal dog, I’ll still kill you!”
Fang Chu’s malicious laughter reverberated in the hall, “Is that so? It seems like you have great confidence in your strength, but what a pity, the one dying today will be you!” His figure vanished in a sway, appearing almost instantaneously right before Huwang Xiao. Both of his palms struck out, causing the fortune energy to howl.
The lightning force in the air became violent and chaotic.
Compared to the attacks on Wangu Yanhui and the other three, this attack on Huwang Xiao was ten times more powerful.
Huwang Xiao raised his arms, turned his palms outward, and struck forward in counter.
Rumble—!
The entire hall shook from the collision, akin to hurricane passing by a wooden hut.
The horrifying shockwave from the collision spread to every corner of the hall, sending Wangu Yanhui and the others flying again.
Huwang Xiao himself staggered several times, retreating more than ten meters before regaining his balance, whereas Fang Chu stood firm as a mountain.
“Oh!” Fang Chu had thought that attack just now would send Huwang Xiao flying and end up like Wangu Yanhui’s group of four. Watching him merely retreat less than a dozen meters, Fang Chu exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s such a wonder your body can be as tough as a late-Fourth Order Highgod Realm, almost reaching peak late-Fourth Order Highgod Realm...” Fang Chu sighed in admiration, but his gaze turned chilling in the next moment, his killing intent soared, “But, your godforce is completely suppressed by my gate of Fortune, and can’t use any of it. As strong as your physical body may be, you’re no match for me!”
“KILL!”
“Sword of Fortune!”
“I am the Master of Fortune and Creation, holding all living beings' fortune in my hand. Who dies and w
ho lives depends on me!”
Fang Chu’s voice thundered, shaking heaven and earth.
When Wangu Yanhui and the others thought about the fact that Huwang Xiao’s godforce was also suppressed, their last thread of hope vanished.
Although Huwang Xiao’s physical toughness was indeed incredible, he wasn’t a match for Fang Chu, who was Fifth-Order Highgod Realm. As Fang Chu’s Sword of Fortune was about to pierce into him, all of a sudden, a vast force rushed out madly from Huwang Xiao’s body.
Huwang Xiao’s Holy Dragon Supreme Godhead’s lightning element godforce spun fiercely, gathering in his fist, which Huwang Xiao swiftly struck out.
Great Void Divine Fist!
Ethereal and boundless!
Instantly, that Sword of Fortune was shattered into pieces by Huwang Xiao’s punch, whereas Fang Chu staggered backward several times. The echoes of his voice dispersed.
The hall was suddenly quiet.
Fang Chu stared at his own hands in disbelief. At the same time, his disbelief was also directed at Huwang Xiao, “Lightning godforce?! Impossible! You, you, how can you use godfroce?! You aren't suppressed by my Gate of Fortune?!”
“Who said my godforce is suppressed by your Gate of Fortune?” Huwang Xiao sneered, “Earlier, I only used my physical strength, just a warm-up.”
Earlier, when Fang Chu condensed the Gate of Fortune to suppress Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei’s godforce, Hang Xiao immediately discovered that his godforce, which came from three supreme godheads, could be used as usual without the slightest impediment.
Huwang Xiao was secretly relieved by this.
As for why he wasn’t affected, he deduced that his godheads being at the supreme rank had something to do with it.
Supreme rank godheads were the kings of all godheads, transcending all other powers.
Seeing that Huwang Xiao’s godforce was not suppressed by Fang Chu’s Gate of Fortune gave birth to hope in the hearts of the four people in despair, some light returned to their eyes.
At this point, Fang Chu had recovered from his shock, confusion could be seen in his eyes, “Why isn’t your godforce affected by my Gate of Fortune? Is it because of the Azure Dragon Divine Fire?”
‘The Azure Dragon Divine Fire?’ Huwang Xiao was inwardly stunned.
Fang Chu thought he had guessed the reason, hence broke into laughter, “The Azure Dragon Divine Fire is indeed as the legend said, possessing unfathomable power. However, Huwang Xiao, you’re too weak and cannot fully display the Azure Dragon Divine Fire’s power. Even if you can use your godforce, you’re still no match for me!”
“I will let you see the Gate of Fortune’s real power!”
The giant gates behind Fang Chu released brilliant light that spread to a thousand zhang, spinning endlessly as if attracting every last ray of light in the world.
The universe’s energy flowed rapidly from the Gate of Fortune.
At the same time, Fang Chu’s aura rose higher and higher. Just the pressure from his aura caused Wangu Yanhui and the other three to turn green from suffocation.
Huwang Xiao became more vigilant as he sensed Fang Chu’s rising momentum, secretly employing both his Holy Dragon and Archdevil Supreme Godheads.
Supreme godforce flowed out like a river, forming a sea around Huwang Xiao.
Ch.878
Fang Chu suddenly let out a long howl, as if his voice pierced a hole in the void, releasing an explosion of bright lights.
“Gate of Fortune, spinning the fortune of heaven and earth, Divine Fortune Fist!”
Fang Chu’s fists, filled with murderous aura, punched toward Huwang Xiao.
The sea of brilliant light assembled by the Gate of Fortune formed into a mass of energy, flooding out like an indomitable galactic river. It was vast and infinite, violent, powerful, destructive, drowning everything into its belly.
Fist force rumbled, emitting a world destroying might.
Before this horrifying fist force, the sea of godforce surrounding Huwang Xiao appeared small and vulnerable as if he would be drowned in Fang Chu’s fist force.
At this point, the surrounding metal godforce around Huwang Xiao burst out with a sharp metallic light, resembling millions of glorious suns that existed since time immemorial.
That terrifying fist force resembling a violent river finally landed on Huwang Xiao’s barrier of metallic godforce.
Rumble!
Thunderous blasts resounded, causing the spacious hall to violently shake as black space cracks appeared.
The sea of metallic godforce shattered into smithereens, turning into shining dust that scattered everywhere. At the same time, one thousand arms fanned out from Huwang Xiao’s back. One could almost see the veins of each arm, all thousand of them were corporeal.
Godly Xumi Art!
Then, darkness element godforce surged out from Huwang Xiao’s Archdevil Supreme Godhead.
“Asura Demon Claw, Hiss of A Thousand Demons!”
Empowered by the darkness element godforce, screaming wraiths and roaring devils flew out like a broken floodgate. Standing in the midst of those wraiths and devils, Huwang Xiao looked like a ruler of the underworld.
Countless wraiths and devils collided with the fortune energy from Fang Chu’s fist.
The hard floor made of unknown materials cracked, unable to bear the impact from colliding forces. Deep fissures spread out in various directions, elongating by the moment.
Huwang Xiao and Fang Chu’s bodies quivered, repelling each other. Both of them stumbled again and again until they reached different ends of the hall before steadying themselves. The other four people in the hall were knocked into the air and fainted into oblivion due to the whelming shockwaves.
A long time later, the turbulent air currents in the hall calmed down.
The entire time, neither Huwang Xiao nor Fang Chu moved, observing each other with vigilance.
Fang Chu’s Gate of Fortune possessed whelming power that exceeded Huwang Xiao’s estimation. That earlier punch, when the Gate of Fortune assembled millions of lights, could render a late-Fifth Order Highgod Realm heavily injured.
Huwang Xiao was shocked, but Fang Chu was even more shocked.
Fang Chu was extremely confident that his current strength was high enough to suppress even a late-Fifth Order Highgod Realm master. However, in that exchange just now, Huwang Xiao was evenly matched with him!
‘How is this possible?!’
Huwang Xiao was just a measly late-Second Order Highgod Realm!
At any other time, he could easily squash a late-Second Order Highgod Realm ant to death with one finger.
Both sides’ inaction and silence lasted a full ten minutes before the two of them moved simultaneously in attack.
This time, Huwang Xiao chose to use wind element godforce from his Holy Dragon Supreme Godhead. The air around him swirled into a giant hurricane, and a majestic wind dragon flew out from the eye of the storm.
Dragon Twirling Clouds!
Whereas Fang Chu’s Gate of Fortune formed a spiraling whirlpool of fortune energy.
The dragon’s stormwind and the fortune energy whirlpool clashed and collided intensely.
In a few breaths’ time, Huwang Xiao and Fang Chu had exchanged more than a dozen moves, causing the hall to quake in protest.
From the distance, Fang Chu looked like he was enshrouded in a myriad of lights that grew increasingly stronger and brighter, whereas Huwang Xiao was the sovereign of the underworld, darkness godforce swirled around him in the form of howling devils. Amongst them were lightning flood dragons formed from lightning godforce, while wind godforce formed the wind dragon that tore through space.
Fang Chu was furious and shocked.
Darkness godforce! Lightning godforce! Wind godforce! Metal godforce!
Never had he imagined Huwang Xiao’s talent to be this astounding, this had greatly deviated from Fang Chu’s judgment. A godhead that possessed four elements was unprecedented since ancient
times!
Furthermore, Huwang Xiao’s darkness godforce actually had the ability to devour and corrode! It could even devour and corrode his fortune energy!
This discovery was like a denial to everything he ever knew.
His fortune energy was an origin force that was higher ranked than godforce, this was also the reason why his Gate of Fortune could suppress Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, and the others’ godforce.
But now, Huwang Xiao’s darkness godforce actually flipped the situation, devouring and corroding his fortune energy?!
As time passed, it’s corrosive and devouring power became increasingly pronounced.
Fang Chu was incensed, fully pushing his Gate of Fortune to rob all the energy it could from heaven and earth, significantly increasing his attack power. But no matter how powerful his attacks were, they couldn’t break past Huwang Xiao’s protective barriers.
One hour passed.
Huwang Xiao gained even more momentum.
In the beginning, his Archdevil Supreme Godhead had some difficulty in devouring Fang Chu’s fortune energy, but as time passed, Huwang Xiao noticed that his devouring speed became faster, and his own strength was actually improving.
Two hours quickly passed.
In the midst of the intense battle, Fang Chu punched at Huwang Xiao with full force, then jumped away, “Huwang Xiao, I admit you have got some strength. I can’t kill you, but you can’t harm me either. We’ll be the ones who suffer if we continue this way, let’s stop here, what do you think? We can divide all the treasures inside here equally!”
Huwang Xiao made an obvious action of looking at the dimming Gate of Fortune behind Fang Chu, sneering coldly, “Divide equally? I’ve already said it, even if you kneel and beg me to let you become my most loyal dog, I will still kill you!”
Fang Chu laughed in spite of his anger, “Huwang Xiao, don’t think I’m scared of you. Since you’re asking for it, even if I end up heavily injured, I’m going to reap your life!”
Just as Fang Chu was about to make another big move, Huwang Xiao suddenly bathed in a radiant light. His body swayed, turning into a primordial divine dragon!
