Chapter 2117 - Stabbing a Brother in the Back

Chapter 2117: Stabbing a Brother in the Back

A small head suddenly emerged from the turbulent ocean.

It shouldn’t have been able to escape the notice of the Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals, all of whom had astonishing sensory abilities.

However, that little head was enshrouded by a peculiar layer of water ripples, and that completely cut off its aura.

To put it more simply, the owner of the head was far more powerful than the Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals, and it was able to use its supreme power to easily obscure its presence. Even a Heavenly God wouldn’t be able to notice it, not unless they were actively searching for it!

On that little head were a pair of bright blue eyes, an intricate nose, and a pair of supple pink lips. It was the leader of the West Sea Alliance, Lan Xiaoni!

All of the Heavenly Human Tribe living beings thought that she had retreated with her army, but in reality, she never left!

“Alliance Leader Lan, is this really going to work?”

At that moment, another head popped out of the ocean. This was a man with a pair of sharp black horns and crimson eyes; it was the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage Demon Lord Ling Gu.

He was a little nervous as he said, “I can’t help but feel like this is too risky. Should we call the army over so that they can distract our enemies?”

Lan Xiaoni immediately shook her head upon hearing that. “No. It’s quite apparent that that ship is a large-scale weapon. If we lead our army here, they’re going to suffer an extremely large amount of casualties. I can’t allow them to make so many sacrifices…”

She was extremely resolute and decisive with everything that she did, but that didn’t mean that she was a cold and emotionless person. After fighting by their side for so long, every member of the West Sea Alliance was like family to her, and she couldn’t bear to put them at such great risk.

“But… are we just going to… rush over and destroy the gate?” Demon Lord Ling Gu asked in a trembling voice.

His confidence had completely disappeared as he was about to do something unimaginable; he was going to destroy the Western Heavenly Gate!

Never did he think that someone like him would be entrusted with such an epic task…

Lan Xiaoni wore a calm expression, but her eyes glowed with a scorching light as she stared at the heavenly gate in the distance. “The paramount Heavenly God of the Western Heavenly Gate isn’t here, and the four other Heavenly Gods have been sealed at the bottom of the West Sea by me. How could we let slip such a perfect opportunity?”

Demon Lord Ling Gu gulped nervously before replying, “That may be the case, but there’s the small matter of the fifty million Heavenly Humans and their secret trump card ship!”

“That’s simple; I’ll destroy the gate while you hold everyone off,” Lan Xiaoni replied.

Demon Lord Ling Gu: “???”

How was that simple?

He had received quite a significant power boost after eating all of those Heavenly Human eggs, but he didn’t think he was powerful enough to take on that massive army on his own!

Demon Lord Ling Gu’s expression darkened significantly.

“I don’t need you to defeat the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army; I just need you to buy me some time,” Lan Xiaoni said with a smile.

Demon Lord Ling Gu really wanted to tell her that he would only be able to last three seconds at most.

However, his pride forced him to swallow those words.

“High Priest Yu Feiyu, is it time for us to strike?” Lan Xiaoni turned and looked beside her.

A woman with cold beautiful features emerged from the sea, holding a crystal ball in her hand. “Half an hour later, the stars and the moon will be obscured. The sun will begin to rise, and the tide will cause the Yellow Dragon Star to tumble. That would be the best time for us to strike. However, you will only have two minutes to get the job done. If you haven’t succeeded by then, you have to retreat!”

“Alright, let’s make some preparations!” Lan Xiaoni nodded with a serious expression.

In order to ensure the greatest chance for success, she had even brought High Priestess Yu Feiyu with her. Her divination skills would help her determine the best opportunity to spring into action!

Furthermore, Lan Xiaoni had a secret that only she knew about.

Not long ago, An Lin had sent her a message via her jade pendant, stating that the Heavenly Sea God was not to be completely trusted and that she should try to weaken his forces as much as possible.

After receiving that message, Lan Xiaoni thought to herself that the best way to weaken the Heavenly Sea God would be to destroy the Western Heavenly Gate! It was the heaviest blow that she could possibly inflict upon him!

Thus, she formulated a plan and sprang into action.

Lan Xiaoni used her heavenly water power to envelop Yu Feiyu and Demon Lord Ling Gu, and the three of them snuck toward the Western Heavenly Gate.

Before long, they had arrived directly above the gate.

All three of them were stunned by the eternal unyielding aura emanating from the mighty Heavenly Gate.

“What a terrifying aura. Will we really be able to destroy it?” Demon Lord Ling Gu was starting to have second thoughts again.

“Of course we can. Big Boss An Lin has already destroyed two of them, so why can’t we do the same?” Lan Xiaoni tried to pump up Demon Lord Ling Gu.

“But An Lin is An Lin, and we are not An Lin! He’s the Heavenly Darkness God, so destroying a Heavenly Gate is normal for him!” Demon Lord Ling Gu was still very flustered.

“Hehe, don’t forget that I’m the Heavenly Water God.” Lan Xiaoni narrowed her beautiful eyes and reminded, “Plus, the key to destroying the gate doesn’t lie in how powerful one is.”

“Then what is the key?” Demon Lord Ling Gu asked.

Lan Xiaoni recalled the words An Lin had once spoken to her, and a faint smile appeared on her face. “The key is the type of heavenly power one possesses. That is what Big Boss An Lin found while destroying two gates!

“The Southern Heavenly Gate was broken by his power of darkness, while the Northern Heavenly Gate was easily broken by his heavenly mountain power even though it had remained completely unscathed against his most powerful darkness attacks. What does that mean? It means that as long as the right type of heavenly power is used, the Heavenly Gates will be simple to topple! The Heavenly Sea God presides over the Western Heavenly Gate, so my heavenly water power has a very high chance of being able to destroy the gate!

“I’m sorry, Heavenly Sea God. I’m going to have to use the power you bestowed upon me against you…”

A cold light appeared in Lan Xiaoni’s eyes.

“You can only blame yourself for trying to screw over my Big Boss An Lin… To think that you once referred to one another as brothers, but you’re now at a stage where you’re stabbing each other in the back…”

The boundless ocean slowly converged toward Lan Xiaoni.

Right at that moment, Yu Feiyu suddenly said, “Now!”

The light of dawn began to emerge, while the stars and the moon dimmed.

A gargantuan waterfall suddenly erupted from the ocean in the sky!

Boom!

It was as if the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth were quaking violently.

The Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings were all given a fright by the ear-splitting boom, and they turned around in shock and horror. What greeted them was a terrifying doomsday-like scenario, where the ocean in the sky crashed down from above.

Amid the light of the dawn, a goddess descended from the heavens, wielding a heavenly water sword that was hundreds of thousands of meters in length. She raised the gargantuan sword and swung it viciously into the pillar of the Western Heavenly Gate!
