Celestial Emperor 2
Ch. 593 - Strong Followers
The energy of the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods had already grown thinner since it first got out of control, yet as this thing continued to devour the souls of countless sea monsters, it was still a matter of time, this thing has almost unparalleled power. If left any further, even before these magical treasures ran out of energy, the Deep Ocean Oblique would disappear from the world. That was the reason why Qin Shan chose to stop him immediately.
Although Ji Zhufei and his army were able to overcome those countless tendrils easily enough, they could not last too long. In reality, the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods had also absorbed the Elemental Energy within their bodies slowly.
Qin Shan who witnessed this could only cluck in annoyance. It wanted to immediately advance forward and attack the plum blossom, but it was emitting an extremely frightening death energy. The tremendous pressure exerted could even make Qin Shan nearly vomit blood.
“What should I do?” Qin Shan twisted his brain and he was almost desperate now. He thought there was only one thing he could do to deal with the current situation. That is by executing the Sacred Martial Art of Empyrean Rage.
“Releasing Empyrean Rage will indeed solve all the problems here, but I'm sure Ji Zhufei and his army won't survive when that happens. Releasing Empyrean Rage would be the last solution for me.” Qin Shan muttered and he was seen considering something.
After many years of undergoing body refining cultivation, Qin Shan had already arrived at the level 8 God Body stage. There was only one more level left until he reached the maximum level of Mortal God Body Refining. However, even this monstrous physical strength was still not enough to deal directly with the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods. Perhaps Qin Shan would last for a few seconds, but he was unsure if he would have time to execute his strongest moves.
“I only have one chance, if it works then me and everyone in this place will be safe. But if it fails, I will probably meet Lord Yama[1][1].” a little horror and fear flashed in Qin Shan's eyes and he did not dare to imagine it any further.
After all, right now he had to do something to be able to save everyone in this place, including himself. Supposing it wasn't for the Deep Ocean Oblique, Qin Shan wouldn't have cared about the people here and would have executed Empyrean Rage.
“If I have a little energy, I will be able to use the Return to Mortality technique..” Qin Shan continued to think of a way to deal with this situation while slashing some tendrils nearby.
After some consideration, Qin Shan finally decided to attack the plum blossoms from a distance away and with full force. If it failed though, he would only run out of energy, and he could recover his energy back using the Sacred Emotion Revolve Martial Art. And the moment it happened he would instantly unleash Empyrean Rage.
Qin Shan immediately took out the horses in the air and prepared to make his strongest attack this time. Samadhi Fire Stairs who had eleven rungs already appeared in his left hand and the incredible energy of the Dao of The Flame fluctuated around him. Meanwhile his right hand grasped the Jiuhua Sword which began to be flowed by the terrifying Swordforce within.
As Qin Shan did all that, the space around him crackled as it could barely stand the force he unleashed. It even seemed that Qin Shan would soon be able to destroy the entire law that built the Forbidden Territory in this place.
Qin Shan's body flashed with a dazzling light as a sky-high and ocean-wide blaze began to form. From behind this blaze, a beam of fire appeared that shot forward and left a prismatic light behind him.
*boommm!* Millions of kilometers of land exploded, and the ocean it crossed evaporated to dry. All sorts of Heaven and Earth laws in that place started to melt because of it.
That extremely frightening flame trajectory then turned into a wall of fire that pounded the blood-red plum blossoms in the distance. Just before the wall of fire touched the plum blossoms, a mysterious protector appeared and blocked the attack of the Samadhi Fire Stairs.
*Duaarr!!* Every big bang was formed, mushroom clouds hundreds of thousands of kilometers high created above the sky. The millions of kilometers of ocean dried up, and the resulting shock waves made the sea level rise to land hit by a tsunami hundreds of kilometers high!
Right after the explosion occurred and annihilated the blood-red plum blossom protector, a dark-colored sword light emerged from behind the fog and managed to hit the flower!
Qin Shan who had also run out of Elemental Energy slowly fell from the sky and he attempted to activate the semi-passive Emotion Revolve ability. Just before he touched the surface of the sea, he managed to recover his energy and immediately stabilized his body back in the air.
Seeing that the millions of tendrils that had previously raged had become withered and destroyed, Qin Shan felt great joy in his heart. Even without executing Empyrean Rage he had apparently managed to stop the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods.
At the beginning Qin Shan felt pleased, yet after he looked into the distance his face darkened and his expression gloomy. It seemed like he was using too much of his strength that the blood-red plum blossom had become extremely withered and probably only had less than half of his strength.
…
After taking the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods shaped a golden colored pagoda on the seabed, Qin Shan immediately went to look for Ji Zhufei and his troops. After some time down the ocean and the shattered land, he was finally able to see the Heavenly God crowd from a distance.
Qin Shan had originally wanted to show off his success in taming and taking over the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods, but he had paused his intentions after seeing many Heavenly Gods fall and perish.
“Hu Juayi?!” Qin Shan even became extremely shocked when he saw Hu Juayi's shattered body lying on the ground. Even though his head was gone, he knew for sure the man's stature and recognized him immediately in one glance.
“Hu Juayi is a kind and strong person, she even sacrificed her life to protect me who was so careless. I feel guilty for myself.” Ji Zhufei looked very sad and he was really frustrated. Out of everyone in the Oblique Deep Ocean, Hu Juayi was the most loyal troop to him.
All the remaining Heavenly Gods also grieved for their comrades who had fallen in the previous calamity. Of course Qin Shan also felt a little sad, with the strength of some Heavenly God Elite, it would definitely increase the combat power of the Three Realm, a pity if they died today.
After some time, the remaining twelve Heavenly G.o.ds turned towards Qin Shan and cupped their hands in thanks.
“We sincerely thank you for your help, God Emperor. After undergoing a battle together in such a short period of time, we have known just how big your strength is. That's why allow us to serve you and be your follower for good!” all those Heavenly G.o.ds, including Ji Zhufei, swore an oath of allegiance to Qin Shan.
Qin Shan who heard this became extremely shocked and stunned. Over ten Heavenly G.o.ds were apparently willing to become his followers!
Ji Zhufei and the other Heavenly Gods felt that the choice they made was not a mistake. After all, if not for the help from Qin Shan, maybe they were all dead by now. That was one of the reasons why they wanted to become Qin Shan's vassal, to return the favor!
