Chapter 704: Chapter 15: Blessed by Qi, Child of Destiny

"Have you made Emperor Hao your target for revenge this time?"

In truth, it’s no wonder Xiu Snake was so shocked, as the mad slaughters by the Jinhong Clan over the past five hundred years have been utterly terrifying.

From Kunlun to the West Sea, then from the West Sea to the North Sea, and now appearing in this southern waterland; the Jinhong Clan is indisputably the era’s foremost God of Slaughter.

"Not quite, but there are some questions I want to ask Emperor Hao face-to-face."

The voice appeared exceptionally calm; the Jinhong Clan had used the Divination Method to understand their own destiny and knew that time was running short.

Next, the Jinhong Clan set out to find the culprit behind all this, to fulfill this destiny, and end the disaster that’s continued for eight hundred years.

"You’re not looking for the Eldest Princess, nor the Great Golden Crow, but you come looking for me?"

"Do you think I’m a pushover? That you can toy with me?"

The Ba Shu River suddenly surged with monstrous waves, and at that moment, Xiu Snake completely emerged from the water.

The massive body, winding like mountain ranges, tore apart the earth at that instant, drawing the gaze of countless Gods.

Unfortunately, the Jinhong Clan wasn’t fazed by Xiu Snake’s display.

In the face of Xiu Snake’s monstrous waves, the Jinhong Clan transformed into a similarly towering giant deity.

Boom!

In an instant, the clash between them triggered a terrifying earthquake.

Yet this was merely the beginning, for beings of the caliber of the Jinhong Clan and Xiu Snake, it wasn’t even considered a probe.

After a brief exchange, the Jinhong Clan promptly threw a black seal towards the sky.

Swirl... Swirl... Swirl...

As the visible Primordial Qi vortex surrounded the black seal in formation.

Endless Yin Qi connected to the Netherworld, as grotesque Evil Ghosts rapidly emerged, with a stance of obliterating the heavens.

Bear in mind, this era had yet to birth Ghost Gods.

The Netherworld was merely the destination for the souls of all beings.

But now, by virtue of their identity, the Jinhong Clan forcibly catalyzed those souls into Evil Ghosts.

No, it’s not merely just Evil Ghosts...

The Gods slain by the Jinhong Clan were also enslaved, becoming part of these Evil Ghosts.

In this scenario, Xiu Snake could no longer afford many concerns, opening wide his maw with a devouring stance that instantly consumed everything within ten thousand miles.

The wails of all beings, the roars of Gods, the turbulence of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi...

Everything visible became collateral damage in the battle between the Jinhong Clan and Xiu Snake.

This moment also showcased Xiu Snake’s dominance as an ancient Desolate God.

Not cultivating any mystical Dharma Gates, nor wielding any Magical Treasure beyond this era.

Xiu Snake’s entire Divine Power manifested in his physical body, rendering the Evil Ghosts’ attacks incapable of breaching his defenses.

Even if the Jinhong Clan personally attacked, injuries inflicted were far surpassed by his own recovery speed.

In contrast, Xiu Snake’s counterattacks against the Jinhong Clan repeatedly forced him to retreat, momentarily placing him at a disadvantage in the battle.

However, Xiu Snake was aware that this situation couldn’t be allowed to persist.

The Jinhong Clan, renowned as the most infamous God of Slaughter over the past five centuries, was known for their enigmatic and varied combat techniques.

Even those Pathfinders from later eras lacked the intricate combat techniques of the Jinhong Clan.

Most crucially, Xiu Snake once heard from a wandering Pathfinder that the Jinhong Clan was endowed with fortune.

Before completing his mission, the Jinhong Clan was absolutely invincible.

It was the momentum of history, the inertia of the River of Time.

It was by virtue of this momentum-led fortune that the Jinhong Clan intimidated the many Pathfinders into hiding, fearing to be targeted.

......................................................

"This..."

Amidst the echoes of Xiu Snake and the Jinhong Clan’s battle, a chariot pulled by nine Golden Dragons flashed by.

Inside, Li Xudou tightly pulled the reins, barely escaping the chaotic temporal vortex, staring in disbelief at the terrifying battle scene.

"So, where have I ended up this time!?"

Recognizing Xiu Snake at a glance, Li Xudou had even once fought him as "Hou Yi."

But the problem was, the Xiu Snake Li Xudou encountered was just an ordinary Celestial God.

Yet now, this Xiu Snake clearly transcended the Divine Gate Celestial Pass, reaching the Refining Spirit and Returning to Void of a Transformed Taoist.

Having traveled from the future to such a remote past, Li Xudou only knew there had been turbulence in the River of Time but was unaware of its cause and impact.

This turbulence spanning eight hundred years was learned from Dayi’s recounts.

Added with dynamic balancing mechanisms, and interference from a group of Pathfinders.

The Celestial Emperor’s rule over these eight hundred years had long diverged from the known history.

Fortunately, Li Xudou, indeed deserving of being the "reason for the result" through great trials.

Upon realizing this likely core of the River of Time’s turbulence, he immediately drove the Nine Dragon Chariot to leave this ominous place.

Unexpectedly, Xiu Snake slammed his tail toward him at that moment.

It was evident Xiu Snake mistook the sudden appearance of this figure as a Jinhong Clan ally—just like the Evil Ghosts summoned by them.

"Damn! Seems like no matter which era, you’re always so reckless!"

Swiftly waving the dragons back into his robe, Li Xudou then adopted an archer’s posture.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, an intangible arrow light pierced through the heavens.

Caught off guard, Xiu Snake’s massive body was instantly penetrated, eliciting an involuntary anguished howl.

"Wail!"

Taking advantage of Xiu Snake’s howl, the Jinhong Clan retreated instead, showing a knowing expression.

"Seems even one as influential as you in the future is no match for my causality."

"When you and I clash, Heaven destiny sends aid to me!"

Before the words settled, the Jinhong Clan spat out seven multicolored rays of light.

The seven multicolored rays were distinct types of Primordial Qi, yet fused through the Jinhong Clan’s refining.

Looking from afar, those seven multicolored rays faintly assumed the form of ’sword,’ with malicious intent emanating boldly.

Joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, shock...

Gathering all beings’ emotions, wielding the fate of the Southern Dipper, forging the Seven Killing Sword.

Any creature slain by this Seven Killing Sword will fortify the respective sword, amplifying its power.

With the Jinhong Clan having slain so many Pathfinders, the menace of the Seven Killing Sword was imaginable.

Now he was to thoroughly slay this Xiu Snake, using his blood soul to refine his wrath sword, making it a true ghost-slaying demon sword.

"Since you won’t disclose Emperor Hao’s whereabouts, then die!"
