Chapter 866: Everybody Has A Chance

Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins

Ao Gu Duo, Bi Tian, Li Yue Feng, and the experts of the three powerful forces were moving above a silver-colored river.

Along the way, their fortune was so bad that they had activated around ten barriers and restrictions. These barriers and restrictions killed more than thirty unfortunate King God Realm warriors, leaving no trace of them.

Since they weren't familiar with the forbidden land, they couldn't dodge it beforehand. This troubled them a lot. The forbidden land was more than ten times more dangerous than the Pirates themselves.

They learned from the sacrifice of those warriors that died. They didn't rush anymore. Whenever they met a strange area, they acted with more caution, afraid that it would drag them in and kill them.

"If we continue at this speed, they will leave us far behind," Tuo Hai of the Underworld League frowned. He was a little bit annoyed. "The pirates are familiar with this place. They must be moving fast. However, we can't go freely like they are. We won't be able to reach them."

"Tuo Hai da-ge, do you have a better solution?" Mo smiled naturally while strange light moved in her beautiful eyes. "You have always been smart. How about you lead the way?"

Tuo Hai's face darkened. "If I had a better solution, I would be the first one storming out there. Would I need you to remind me?"

"If you don't have a solution, why do you need to be so angry? Will it solve the issue?" Mo was still smiling, sneaking looks at Bi Tian next to her. "But if we continue like this, perhaps they will have already solved the star map when we reach them. They have time to do it. What do you say, Bi Tian da-ge?"

"Feng Ke's the strongest pirate but he has only the Second Sky of Original God Realm. He's no match for any of us. Should we worry about them plotting against us?"

Bi Tian smiled coldly and disdainfully. "What if we give them time to prepare? The danger hiding deepest inside the forbidden land isn't something the Pirates could solve. When they reach that area, their speed will slow down naturally. We shouldn't worry about that."

"It's true. No one can fully prepare for the dangers deep inside the forbidden land. Perhaps when we meet forbidden land, his crew's members will almost all be dead." Li Yue Feng nodded. He looked calm, with no intention of moving faster.

Fan He and Li Yue Feng were from the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce. He had contacted Fan He through the Sound Stone secretly. Fan He was going to come shortly.

With Fan He's cultivation base those barriers and restraints wouldn't threaten them if they were in Fan He's presence. When that happened, the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce would take the upper hand in this situation.

Li Yue Feng wasn't hurrying. He even wanted them to slow down so that they would meet Fan He earlier.

Although Ao Gu Duo and Carthew were from the Dark Firmament Divine Nation, they didn't go together because of the rift between Zi Yao and Ao Gera. They even seemed to be competing against each other.

After Ao Gera had left Zi Yao, he became quiet. He didn't talk much. When he had time, he would sit down and spend most of his efforts learning his power Upanishad. He didn't bat an eye over Zi Yao anymore.

Ao Gu Duo was happy seeing his nephew finally get through the heartbreak. He often told him what he had experienced while breaking through his realm years before. He wanted to aid Ao Gera to pass the threshold of his own breakthrough faster.

Zi Yao's team was the weakest force in this horde. Although Carthew was one of the five feudal vassals, his realm wasn't high enough. He hadn't reached the Second Sky of Original God Realm yet. Compared to Li Yue Feng and Bi Tian, he was one level lower.

That was why Carthew acted modestly, not intervening the others. He quietly walked with Zi Yao behind them.

Strange light often flashed outside this silver river. While the hotshots of the three powerful forces moved, their Soul Consciousness would occasionally flutter, letting strange light enter their head.

Zi Yao walked by Carthew. They often kept an eye on the strange light that was near the river. Sometimes they stopped to sense.

Today, while Zi Yao was watching the wonderful light, she suddenly received a signal.

She sat down cross-legged in the void, closing her eyes and letting her soul altar spin. A thought flew out which entered that wonderful light.

Crystalline, seven-colored light rippled and expanded from her God Domain. Her Soul Consciousness covered the blue light swirling around the silver river and pulled it into her soul altar.

Her graceful body suddenly shivered. Divine, seven-colored light twirled around her body. She started to sweat. A flow of glorious energy shot out from her soul altar and entered the light that was by the river. It seemed like she had made contact with that light.

More dazzling light flew out from the light by the river and gathered around Zi Yao.

Many Original God Realm experts at the front had bright eyes. They turned around and looked at her with awe.

"Her Highness is about to break through!" Tie Mu shouted, his face astonished. He instinctively turned to Carthew.

Carthew's body was trembling, pleased at what was happening. "True. She's been at the Third Sky of King God Realm for a long time. I think the magical feature of this area has triggered something in her. It seems that joining this trip was a good decision for her."

Blonde-headed Ao Gera's eyes sparkled. He looked at Zi Yao with a gloomy face. No one knew what he was thinking.

"The more dangerous the place is, the easier it is to understand the truth of earth and heaven. That little girl has an excellent innate endowment. However, she let powers blind her for a long time. It's good that she's finally understood this today," Bi Tian of the Underworld League nodded, complimenting her.

"Are you just watching her breaking through?" Mo was surprised, laughing. "You don't want to stop her?"

"Do you dare to stop her?" Tuo Hai snorted, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. That Du Tian Jie cherishes his daughter a lot. If he found out that someone disturbed her while she was breaking through, I think... a raging storm would rise in the Raging Flame Star Area. I'm afraid that even the Hegemon wouldn't be able to protect you."

Mo slightly changed her visage. Her smile disappeared as she was scared.

Du Tian Ji was the most arrogant and brutal individual among the three strongest experts in the Raging Flame Star Area. When he was young, he was obsessed with power. He had ruthlessly killed his blood brothers to sit on the throne.

He then focused on expanding his territory in the next several hundred years. His five great feudal vassals all acted like mad butchers. However, they were the foundation of the prosperous Dark Firmament Divine Nation.

But in the recent hundred years, Du Tian Ji suddenly reduced his operations. He became more modest.

People who didn't know the truth assumed that he was so old that his competitive spirit had faded.

However, those who existed at the same level as Bi Tian and Tuo Hai had a different point of view about this...

It wasn't that Du Tian Ji didn't have the mood anymore. Instead, he had figured out a broader road. He was trying his best to break the last chain of the Original God Realm to enter the Ethereal God Realm.

Throughout the recent several hundred years, he had always been cultivating in seclusion. He wasn't greedy for powers as much as when he was younger.

When Fan He and the Hegemon of the Underworld League were still expanding their territories, Du Tian Ji had given up everything. He didn't even care about the future of the divine nation. He hadn't shown up for dozens of years, seeking for a chance to break through.

People weren't scared of him anymore because he had given up. He also stopped showing how brutal he used to be. They would instinctively think that he wasn't as strong as Fan He and the Hegemon of Underworld League.

Only the true experts at a certain realm, the ones who were familiar with his characteristics and personality, knew that he was even more dangerous now compared to when he was younger!

It's easy to pick something up, but it's much harder to put it down. He had bet his entire life for the new realm. He didn't even care about his life. His mad dedication was intimidating indeed!

Thus, listening to Tuo Hai, Mo quieted down. Her usual smile disappeared.

She was so scared.

It was also the reason why Ao Gu Duo now had a chance to kill Carthew and Zi Yao in the forbidden land. Still, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of Carthew or Zi Yao. He was afraid of the shadow behind Zi Yao, the overlord of the divine nation, the one that had subdued him even when he was at the peak of his strength.

"Zi Yao is about to break through. How about you?" Ao Gu Duo took a deep breath, his face solemn as he looked at his nephew.

"Half a year. I just need half a year to break through." Ao Gera contemplated for a while before replying with confidence. "I feel like I can touch the Third Sky of King God Realm everyday. I think... it will come very soon."

"Good, you can't lag behind too much. Otherwise, she will look down on you right away. And then, you will never conquer her heart. Shi Yan was able to gain a slot in her heart because that kid is really strong!" said Ao Gu Duo.

A brutal gleam sparkled in Ao Gera's eyes. "Don't worry, Uncle. I will kill him. I will definitely kill him."

"Yeah. As long as you can keep your mind clear of love and other emotions, you will break through soon with your innate endowment," Ao Gu Duo nodded.

-------------------

Forbidden land.

Shi Yan's group continued to move forward. Five months had passed as quickly as a blink of an eye.

In the last five months, they moved slowly. They had encountered many dangers. Many of them were wounded or even dead. However, they continued moving forward, exploring the deeper places of the forbidden land.

Feng Ke had been quiet lately. He didn't express any of his opinions, only focusing on fusing the lightning and thunder soul remnant of the Venomous Demonic Dragon. His power was increasing significantly. He was getting stronger by the minute.

After Jester had exchanged his pellets for the poison crystal with Shi Yan, he became even more excited. When he had free time, he contemplated, deep in thought. He checked for information in many ancient books. It seemed like he was considering different methods to refine the chunk of poison, but he hadn't come up with any solution yet.

Since Shi Yan had given the lightning soul remnant of the Venomous Demonic Dragon to Feng Ke, the Blue Demon Pirates had a new attitude towards Shi Yan. They started to treat him as if he was their boss's son-in-law.

Feng Xiao also became friendlier. He had already considered Shi Yan his brother-in-law already. Every day, when he had free time, he would find Shi Yan to drink and chat, trying to form a close relationship with him.

Shi Yan and Feng Rao had gotten even closer and their relationship was deep. Sometimes, they would disappear together. When they reappeared, Feng Rao looked like she was filled with amorous feelings as though she was a flower that just received water. Her beautiful eyes looked at Shi Yan with the deepest affection.

To Barrette, every time they disappeared, he felt a dagger stabbing his heart. He tried to push away these feelings. His patience had improved apparently.

Inside a pile of crushed stone, Feng Rao was snuggling on Shi Yan's brawny body. She cocked her head and talked to him tenderly, "I wonder if we can get to the target deep inside the forbidden land and use the star map to find the new star area. I'm not sure if we can survive the three powerful forces... However, we are alive for now, right? This period will be the best moments of my life. I will cherish it for as long as I live. Even if I die, I won't regret anything as long as I'm with you."

Shi Yan answered deliberately. "Don't worry. People may die but we won't."

While they had their intimate moment, screeches came from a far distance. The Pirates seemed to meet something terrible once again.

They changed their visage, parting immediately. They put their clothes on and rushed towards the screeches.
