Chapter 2524: Breakthrough

Novel: ........................

Yi looked at him coldly: "Your father is one of the ancestors of the Witch Tribe. Why did you degrade yourself to become a Celestial God and then fight against our Witch Tribe?"

Gu flicked his forked tongue, a trace of disdain flashing across his face: "What do you mean 'degrade myself'? My bloodline is noble; I don't need to actively seek anything. The Celestial Court bestowed upon me the title of Celestial God. Don't be a sour grape."

He then laughed again: "Oh right, I heard you've done a lot for the Witch Tribe over the years and gained quite a reputation among your people. Yet, I haven't seen the Celestial Court bestow any official title or position upon you. I suppose the difference lies in you not having a good father like mine, eh?"

Gu patted his chest, covering his mouth with a seemingly "apologetic" expression, and said, "Oh dear, my apologies, I almost forgot you have no parents, that you're an orphan."

Although he said he was sorry, there was not a trace of apology in his tone, only profound mockery.

Yi flew into a rage: "You're courting death!"

He lunged forward with a punch.

However, just as he was halfway there, a thick serpent's tail coiled around him, lifting him directly in front of Gu.

Gu stared coldly at Yi, who was struggling desperately within the serpent's tail: "You, a mere upstart of the Witch Tribe, have no idea of the profound power of our noble bloodline. How dare you fight me? Today, I'll teach you what death means!"

As he spoke, his serpent body began to tighten, coiling around Yi until his bones audibly creaked, and veins bulged all over his body.

With a mighty roar, Yi's body began to expand rapidly, quickly transforming into a giant hundreds of feet tall.

Gu could no longer hold him. He had to release his grip and slither aside.

"Hiss!"

Gu, losing face, also began to swell. Soon, a colossal serpent, far larger than any dragon Zu An had seen in later generations, reared up, its thick body resembling a small mountain.

Yi did not stop either; his entire body continued to grow, quickly surpassing a thousand feet in height.

The two glared fiercely at each other. Then, without knowing who moved first, both roared simultaneously and crashed together.

The violent dust and thunderous roars sent a shiver through Zu An and his companions, who had fled far away. Turning back, they saw Yi's immense body locked in combat with a sky-piercing giant python.

Wherever they clashed, not only the forest where they had initially been, but also many nearby hilltops crumbled like tofu.

The Mermaid Queen watched, her face pale: "The combat power of these ancient Celestial Gods is truly astonishing."

Previously, when the demon world invaded, the demons were so powerful they instilled despair.

But compared to the beings in this world, those demons were mere child's play.

"I wonder if Brother Yi can escape successfully." Seeing Gu's enormous serpent body gradually begin to coil around the giant's neck, Zu An couldn't help but feel worried.

After all, Yi had gotten involved in this matter to help him. If something were to happen to Yi because of it, how could Zu An ever live with himself?

"Don't worry, his strength is considerable. He was hiding his true power when he sparred with you earlier," Yu Menbeiqing reassured him, her gaze on the giant being strangled in the distance inscrutable.

"I hope so."

No sooner had Zu An spoken than a shrill laugh echoed from ahead: "You still have time to worry about others? You should worry about yourselves instead."

A colossal eagle owl figure appeared, blocking their path.

Zu An released the two women's hands and looked at the opponent with a calm expression: "Do you truly believe we are afraid of you?"

Previously, his only apprehension was Gu. Although Qin was formidable, he wasn't insurmountable.

The calm, indifferent look in Zu An's eyes made Qin's heart inexplicably skip a beat. He wondered, *This guy is too composed, isn't he? Could he really defeat me?*

He quickly shook his head to dispel this absurd thought: "Bluffing is useless. I've just received orders from the Master—you must die. However, the Master might spare the lives of these two beauties beside you."

Feeling his lecherous gaze, Yu Menbeiqing's expression turned cold. She immediately conjured the Northern Emperor Demon-Subduing Talisman. Soon, golden clouds began to churn in the sky, and then two golden-armored warriors emerged from the clouds.

Seeing this, Qin's face involuntarily changed: "You can command Celestial Soldiers and Generals? How is that possible!"

He frantically flapped his wings, trying to evade, but it was too late. The two golden-armored warriors had already reached down from the clouds. Their movements appeared clumsy, yet their speed was incredibly swift. Almost in the next second, they seized Qin's wings.

Qin struggled wildly, but his entire body remained firmly caught in the grip of the two golden-armored warriors.

Seeing this, not only the Mermaid Queen but even Zu An was stunned.

*What's happening? When did Sister Ling'er become so powerful?*

The crucial point was the immense pressure exuded by the two golden-armored warriors; it made even him feel insignificant.

He had seen the Northern Emperor Demon-Subduing Talisman before, but never with such devastating power.

Yu Menbeiqing then noticed their astonished reactions and quickly feigned a strained expression, saying, "Hurry, I can't hold on much longer."

Sure enough, at that moment, the spectral figures of the two golden-armored warriors seemed to begin cracking, and the strange bird looked as if it could break free at any moment.

Melodic notes emanated from the zither in the Mermaid Queen's hands, and Zu An felt his entire being infused with various blessings.

Without hesitation, he immediately unleashed the Star-Shattering Profound Seal, a ten-fold attack!

The Tai'a Sword in his hand transformed into a brilliant streak of sword light, slashing towards Qin directly ahead.

Seeing this, Qin did not panic. Instead, a hint of mockery appeared on his face: "A mere mortal hopes to harm me?"

As he spoke, black, white, and red divine lights reappeared around him. As long as these divine lights were present, no matter how powerful the opponent's sword energy, it could not affect his true body.

Zu An seemed to have anticipated this. He had already cast the Gluttonous Sky-Devouring Art in advance, and an invisible black hole seemed to appear around Qin, completely swallowing the three-colored divine lights.

"This... this is impossible!"

Qin finally panicked, screaming in utter terror.

It was too late. The brilliant sword light sliced through him. Even his Celestial God body couldn't withstand it; he was directly split into two halves.

The two halves of his body even tried to reassemble, but the brilliant sword light contained countless destructive sword qi. Ultimately, his body was completely pulverized into dust by the relentless onslaught of sword qi, scattering with the wind.

Zu An was momentarily stunned, as he felt a massive surge of primal energy rush towards him from between heaven and earth.

His experience bar had been full at level 79 for a long time, but no matter how much his primal energy increased, he had been unable to break through the barrier to level 80, as if an invisible restriction was in place.

This unprecedented surge of primal energy, along with something else indescribable that had merged with him, finally made him feel as if that invisible restriction was about to break.
