Chapter 464: Asura Battlefield

The turbaned man dispelled his power, and the body of the Divine Arts practitioner from the Mu family fell. He smiled, "What a child, harboring the same unrealistic fantasies as the previous Human Emperor."

Although his sword had severed the arm of the Mu family's Divine Arts practitioner, the sword intent had already permeated her entire body, causing her primordial spirit to dissolve and vanish into dust. With his mastery of the sword, he didn't even need to directly harm his opponent; he could destroy their primordial spirit with just his sword intent.

Mu Yingxue clenched her fists, suppressing her anger and refraining from lashing out. It was her clan member who had died, but facing the mysterious and unfathomable Ba Gou, she dared not act rashly.

The turbaned man turned to look at the clan leaders. Behind him stood majestic mountain giants and the magnificent True Heaven Palace. He calmly said, "Leaders of West Earth, you rebelled for the power of the True Heaven Palace, unaware that its power was granted by me. I offer you a way out: retreat now, chop off Human Emperor Qin's head, and send it to the True Heaven Palace. I will then forgive all past offenses."

Qin Mu's expression turned stern. He looked at the leaders of West Earth's clans; many had already begun to waver. The West Earth army he had rallied was not a unified front, having gathered solely for their own interests. Although most of these beautiful female clan leaders from West Earth were captivating, and Qin Mu even shared some deep affection with them, just like the cult masters and sect leaders from the sects in Central Earth's Yan Kang, these beautiful women also prioritized the interests of their own races. Personal feelings would not distort these women's rational judgment. If they retreated because of this, Qin Mu would not be surprised.

Suddenly, Mu Yingxue shook the bells on her wrist, producing crisp jingling sounds. She smiled, "Any of you can retreat, but my Mu family cannot. My Mu family owes the Xiong family, and we must repay them. Otherwise, my conscience will never be at peace!"

He Yiyi calmly stated, "Yu Bochuan died in my Jun City; I cannot shirk responsibility. It might be better to simply overthrow the Yu family's rule. My He family cannot retreat either."

Liu Ruyin hesitated, then looked at Liu Zhenqing, who was sitting on a small coffin beside her. Liu Zhenqing was holding a candied hawthorn skewer, which Xiong Qi'er had given her. The little girl was meticulously licking the candied hawthorn. She suddenly looked up and sweetly smiled, "As Cult Master Qin said, it's just a true god's avatar; killing it won't be difficult. And for a true god to descend to this realm, that's far too difficult. Mother, since I've accepted Sister Qi'er's candied hawthorn, I must do something for the Xiong family. Moreover..." She smiled even sweeter, "Who can guarantee that the Yu family won't settle accounts later? They are very petty. If the Yu family is eliminated, the Xiong mother and daughter ruling the True Heaven Palace will still need to rely on my Liu family. The benefits outweigh the risks, so why not?"

Qin Mu felt relieved. Although Liu Zhenqing looked like a little girl, she was truly an old fox. What seemed like innocent childish words actually voiced the true sentiments of West Earth's major aristocratic families. These words were enough to sway the other major aristocratic families. Even Ba Gou couldn't change their minds! Among the clan leaders present, perhaps only Mu Yingxue genuinely wanted to help Xiong Xiyu and Xiong Qi'er, the mother and daughter, for atonement. The others, more or less, had their own interests in mind, but for Qin Mu, that was enough.

The turbaned man slightly smiled, "Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food. Even women as elegant and otherworldly as you are ignorant and foolish, wasting your beautiful bodies. Very well, if you wish to die, then I shall send you to your death."

He was about to turn and leave when He Yiyi suddenly chuckled, "Since Ba Gou has come, there's no need for you to leave!" Countless large stones surged around her, rushing towards the turbaned man with a crashing sound.

At the same time, almost all the West Earth clan leaders unleashed their abilities. Behind Fang Caidie, majestic mountain giants raised enormous stone pillars, using mountains as weapons, sweeping them towards the turbaned man. Luo Yinyu drew her sword and thrust it forward. Countless flying swords followed her sharp blade, whistling as they moved alongside the peaks swept by the mountain giants, attacking the turbaned man. Mu Yingxue flicked her fingers repeatedly, while Fu Yunxi pulled her hands down forcefully, unleashing countless bolts of lightning. The thunderous storm, carrying the potent poison thrown by Mu Yingxue, struck down towards the turbaned man! Liu Ruyin and her daughter Liu Zhenqing unleashed the chains from the golden coffin. The chains, like black flood dragons, coiled towards the turbaned man.

The leaders of West Earth's major aristocratic families completely disregarded any rules of engagement. Without a word, they swarmed him, determined to keep him there at all costs!

Qin Mu secretly nodded, "Well done."

The turbaned man calmly walked towards the True Heaven Palace. Behind him, sword light flashed, cutting through the attacks of the crowd. He cut a path through He Yiyi's formation with a single sword stroke before it could even fully close. The mountain pillars swept by the mountain giants were severed by his torrent-like sword light. The thunderous storm in mid-air was intercepted by his sword arts, breaking across the sky. The chains from the golden coffin were struck by his sword tip, recoiling.

"Excellent swordplay!" Qin Mu thought. "Purely in terms of sword arts, no one in all of West Earth is his match! It truly is excellent swordplay!"

Qin Mu's expression was grave. The turbaned man's sword arts were indeed divine, reaching a level where his sword path was unpredictable, like ghosts and gods. Mundane formations and sword arts could barely stop him.

"Qi'er, activate the Azure Dragon Pearl!"

Xiong Qi'er activated the Azure Dragon Pearl, and immediately, a brilliant azure light erupted. A dragon's roar echoed, and the sky-filled azure light surged towards the True Heaven Palace. Wherever the sky-filled azure light passed, everything was petrified into wood. Even the mountain giants surrounding the True Heaven Palace suddenly stiffened, their bodies covered in a greenish hue as countless azure vines rapidly grew on them. The True Heaven Palace women atop these mountain giants were also instantly controlled by the Azure Dragon Pearl. *Pop, pop, pop*, their heads and faces became covered with sprouts and flowers! The Azure Dragon Pearl, one of the True Heaven Palace's four spiritual treasures, unleashed astonishing power in the hands of the little girl Xiong Qi'er. The turbaned man's body, bathed in the azure light, also suddenly stiffened, seemingly about to turn into wood! The power of the Azure Dragon Pearl was beyond imagination!

Just then, amidst the ethereal sea of clouds, several women emerged from the True Heaven Palace, standing atop the clouds, each raising a spiritual pearl in their hands. Three spiritual pearls rose into the sky, growing brighter and brighter. One pearl contained the soul of a tortoise-snake, another held the spirit of a White Tiger, and a third glowed with fire, with a divine bird soaring within it. The three pearls shone in the sky, colliding with the Azure Dragon Pearl's azure light. The Azure Dragon Pearl in Xiong Qi'er's hand vibrated violently. The dragon's roar immediately grew louder, and an azure dragon flew out from the pearl. As soon as it emerged, the Azure Dragon's body became incredibly massive, its huge form flying and coiling around majestic mountains, an astonishing sight.

In front of the True Heaven Palace, the light from the three great spiritual treasures grew increasingly intense. The White Tiger, the Coiling Snake-Dark Tortoise, and the Vermilion Bird flew out from their respective pearls. The White Tiger dominated the mountaintop, roaring skyward. The Vermilion Bird let out a long cry, flapping its wings to unleash a sea of flames. The Dark Tortoise stepped on the sea, beneath its feet the ocean surged and roared, the sea floating in the sky, with the Coiling Snake weaving through it.

The three True Heaven Palace women activated the other three great spiritual treasures, jointly confronting Xiong Qi'er. The three spiritual treasures combined forces, suppressing the power of the Azure Dragon Pearl. The wooden petrification marks on the turbaned man rapidly faded away. He faintly smiled, his flying sword returned to its sheath, and his figure vanished into the True Heaven Palace.

"Eliminate them," his voice echoed.

The True Heaven Palace disciples atop the mountain giants shed their wooden petrification marks. With the Azure Dragon Pearl's power suppressed, they were able to free themselves. The azure light on the mountain giants also receded. The mountain giants moved their massive bodies, wielding mountain-like sharp swords, and charged towards West Earth's major aristocratic families.

He Yiyi let out a sharp cry, and massive catapults automatically began to operate. They swung their long arms with whooshing sounds, launching smaller stone figures. These huge stone figures were pitifully small compared to the mountain giants, but as they were launched, they expanded, rushing towards the mountain giants. Flames erupted in mid-air, and stone figures were shattered in the sky, obliterated by the mountain giants' enormous weapon attacks. Those were the sect's guardian treasures, unleashing terrifying power in the hands of the mountain giants. They pulverized the stone figures into dust, transforming them into clouds of particles in the air.

However, many stone figures still landed on the mountain giants. These stone figures rapidly climbed, scrambling towards the mountain giants' heads. On the heads of the mountain giants, the True Heaven Palace disciples faced a formidable enemy. Each activated their cultivation techniques and divine arts to their utmost, extracting the spirits from the charging stone figures, causing many stone figures to continuously collapse and disintegrate into piles of rolling stones.

*Splash*—

Torrential green rain poured down from the sky amidst thunder and lightning. It was poisonous rain, jointly summoned by the Divine Arts practitioners of the Mu and Fu families. Within the poisonous rain, even the crackling bolts of lightning were green. The lightning also carried potent poison, and the lightning, mixed with rainwater, surged towards the heads of the mountain giants!

More women from the True Heaven Palace surged out, and countless spiritual weapons flew forth, like various golden and silver rings, large and small, weaving through the mountains. The spinning golden and silver rings attracted lightning and rainwater, binding them within the rings, guiding them through the rings and flowing them down the mountains. The dark clouds in the sky trembled, and whirlwinds descended from above, twisting like dragons, sweeping towards the golden and silver rings.

In the True Heaven Palace, the woman controlling the Dark Tortoise Pearl activated it. A vast sea poured downwards, crashing thunderously into the dark clouds, swallowing the clouds, lightning, and whirlwinds in one go!

"Kill!"

Sharp female cries erupted around Qin Mu. Massive catapults stomped their legs and rumbled forward. After moving about half a kilometer, they hunkered down. Many women jumped into large baskets and were launched with a whooshing sound by the catapults. Many mountain giants charged from the rear, crashing thunderously into the mountain giants guarding the True Heaven Palace. Tens of thousands of Fang family disciples stood atop the mountain giants, sending countless spiritual weapons flying, battling against the True Heaven Palace disciples atop the opposing mountain giants.

Countless vines extended from the sky, coiling around the mountain giants. The Xi family women stepped on the vines, weaving through the mountains and charging towards the True Heaven Palace women on the mountaintops. The vines also entwined around the large mountains.

*Boom*—

A tower-shaped mountain peak pressed down, pulverizing an unknown number of Xi family women into dust. However, no one had time for grief. The Fang family women rode on great rivers, like flood dragons, soaring through the mountains. They collided with waterfalls and long rivers rushing down from the mountaintops. Countless water giants rose from the great rivers, wielding blades and swords made of dark ice, and charged towards these women.

The True Heaven Palace transformed into a massive Asura battlefield, and the warriors on this battlefield were alluring and captivating women.

"Fat Dragon, protect Qi'er!"

Qin Mu moved, leaping onto one of He Yiyi's moving stones in mid-air. The massive Jun City completely disintegrated, transforming into a torrent of boulders, carrying them skyward.
