Chapter 679: Obtaining Divine Power

The Black Profound King froze, coughing violently as blood streamed from his mouth!

The power of Ye Wushuang's strike wasn't just a simple physical attack. It also carried the resonance of Dao Principle Marks, which now rampaged through the King's body. His form tried to reconstruct, only to rapidly disintegrate again!

'This can't go on. If it does, I'll definitely die here.'

The Black Profound King glared at Ye Wushuang with dread, then turned, tore open the void, and vanished inside.

BOOM!

The Ancient Demon Bird shot up from the seafloor, transforming back into the Demon Prince. He clutched his chest and, with a violent retch, spat out a huge mouthful of blood.

Ye Wushuang's body returned to its normal size as he stared intently at the Demon Prince.

"You've won!"

As much as he hated to admit it, the Demon Prince had no choice. Ye Wushuang had won. He knew he stood no chance against that final burst of power.

Even with his Holy Dao Soldiers, he would be no match for Ye Wushuang.

WHOOSH!

Two keys flew toward Ye Wushuang as the Demon Prince's figure faded into the void.

Ye Wushuang didn't try to stop him. 'The Demon Blood King Body is truly formidable. Killing him would take considerable effort. My goal is to obtain the Divine Power, so there's no need to waste my energy on him!'

With these two keys, he now had four. There was no need to go to the Profound Sea Abyss anymore; he could return directly to Heaven-Reaching Island.

'Wait, there's still one more person!'

'The one with the Saint's Blood, Shenn Qiankun!'

Ye Wushuang whipped his head around to stare at Shenn Qiankun, his gaze profound. 'This man is far from simple.'

He had even felt threatened by that peerless shadow from before. That forbidden power was definitely beyond the Saint Sage Realm!

"Your sudden surge of power, jumping three realms in an instant... that must have been some heaven-defying Secret Technique," Shenn Qiankun said. "If you had used it, you would have been able to contend with me."

The crowd finally snapped out of their stupor from the battle. Of the four peerless figures, only two remained. Without a doubt, these two were the final victors!

The wielder of the Demon Blood King Body and the one with the Original Ancestor Blood had both been defeated by them!

And now, it seemed they were about to duel. A battle between the Holy Body and the Saint's Blood!

"If you want a fight, let's begin."

'The empowerment from the Supreme Transformation True Demon is about to fade. I have to defeat Shenn Qiankun before it does!'

"No, I don't wish to fight you now. We should both remain at our peak to face the one with the Emperor's Domineering Blood. Let's see which of us can defeat him. If you win, I will concede to you. If I win, you will concede to me," Shenn Qiankun said, enunciating every word.

Then, he added, "Of course, one of us *must* defeat him!"

'One of us must defeat him?'

A divine glint flickered in Ye Wushuang's eyes as he stared at Shenn Qiankun with curiosity. 'Why is he so adamant about this?'

"You, Ye Wushuang, want to wage a war on Heaven. You want to shatter the shackles that bind all living things. If you're going to lead them in this war, you must first give them hope."

"The first step in this war is to slay the one with the Emperor's Domineering Blood. You must display your qualifications to lead this war so that everyone will trust you and follow you!"

Shenn Qiankun tilted his head back to gaze at the firmament, as if countless, indifferent eyes were watching him from above!

War on Heaven!

A war on the Grand Emperor's Heaven!

To hear such treasonous words spoken so fearlessly made the numb hearts of the crowd, miles away, tremble once more. Their hearts leaped into their throats!

They all looked up at the firmament in unison, their eyes filled with awe and dread!

Heaven was supreme, omnipotent, controller of all the Grand Emperor's Creatures. Who would dare wage war against it? Who *could*?

Ye Wushuang? Did he really dare?

It was as if the crowd had heard some terrifying joke. Their hearts strangely fell calm at that moment—the kind of quiet that follows extreme, suppressive shock.

"Heaven is nothing but a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things. It's just a speck that happens to be larger than us mortals. And like all mortals, it knows fear. So why can it not be fought? Why should we not dare to fight it?"

"I have only one thing to say. I will wage war on Heaven, and that is decided. As for the one with the Emperor's Domineering Blood, I have never considered him a threat. Slaying him will be a swift affair!"

Ye Wushuang spoke each word with calm finality.

Every word was extraordinary, a symbol of rebellion and defiance!

BOOM!

As soon as the words left his lips, Ye Wushuang turned to leave.

SCREECH!

A silver roc, large enough to blot out the sky, spread its wings and carried the white-robed figure away, disappearing over the horizon!

"It seems your confidence is immense. So what is there to fear from the Holy Celestial Ruins? Heaven is not invincible. Just because no one has dared for countless ages, doesn't mean no one dares now!"

Shenn Qiankun looked up at the firmament again. "I'm sick of this feeling of always having to look up!"

BOOM!

The void shattered. Shenn Qiankun tossed down two keys and vanished into the sky above.

I'm sick of this feeling of always having to look up!

His faint words echoed across the sky. Everyone looked up at the firmament, and indeed, this feeling of always looking up was humiliating!

"War on Heaven!"

Those two forbidden words sprouted in the depths of their hearts like a nightmare.

"Well then, I'm looking forward to the battle at the Saint-Ending Cloud Sea!"

"Will the Emperor's Domineering Blood win, or will the Holy Body? If the Holy Body wins, it will mean... the beginning of the war on Heaven!"

Thinking of that near-impossible outcome, everyone was suddenly filled with anticipation for the battle!

Back to Heaven-Reaching Island!

Everyone turned and shot toward Heaven-Reaching Island at top speed. The Profound Sea Abyss was completely forgotten.

WHOOSH!

The Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc streaked across the sky, majestic and imposing, radiating an air of wild confidence. When the war on Heaven came, it too would enter the battlefield, transforming into a true Heaven-Conquering Battle Roc!

SCREECH!

At this thought, the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc let out a heaven-rending cry and dove down toward Heaven-Reaching Island.

"They're back!"

On Heaven-Reaching Island, as everyone watched, the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc's form shrank as it landed on the Dragon-Vomiting Jade Disc.

"It's Ye Wushuang!"

The members of the Flood Dragon Clan recognized him.

Jiao Ming was also startled. The first person to return wasn't the Demon Blood King Body, nor was it Hai Wuya, the prodigy of the Nine-Headed Sea Demon Race. It was Ye Wushuang.

"Returning first doesn't necessarily mean he got all four keys."

A cold, venomous light glinted in the Shark King's eyes.

Meanwhile, the clone of Elder Hai Xu was no longer smiling. He had dropped all pretense, his old face twisted with a savage, venomous hatred!

Here on Heaven-Reaching Island, far from the Nine-Headed Sea Demon Palace, others might not know what had happened, but he knew everything!

His original body was dead. The Nine-Headed Sea Demon Race had been annihilated, with not a single member left alive!

Ye Wushuang's gaze also fell upon Elder Hai Xu, and a smile touched his lips.

"Jiao Ming, I have obtained four keys. Can I enter the Sea God's Relic now?"

Ye Wushuang inquired.

The Shark King's face stiffened. He almost couldn't process it. 'Ye Wushuang was the fastest to return, and he got all four keys?'

The Clan Leaders of the Turtle Race, Merfolk Race, and the others were all shocked. Such speed was unprecedented!

After his initial shock, Jiao Ming collected himself and replied, "Of course. You just need to use your Divine Sense to send the four keys into the Sea God's Relic above. Then you can enter and obtain the Divine Power."

As he spoke, he pointed to a giant bubble floating overhead, within which a fantastical palace was faintly visible.

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang rejoiced internally. 'Obtaining the Divine Power means there's a great chance my Dragon Blood Saint Body can break through to the Sixth Transformation!'

A Sixth Transformation Dragon Blood Sacred Body would grant him an immense boost in power!
