Chapter 291 The Barbarian Emperor Steps In and Establishes Three Rules
The appearance and disappearance of the Giant Wolf Venerable lasted only half a minute, yet it triggered an extremely intense reaction.
"How could the Great Wolf Venerable have vanished into thin air so easily?"
Many immortals and gods didn't even have time to react before the Giant Wolf Venerable vanished, having no idea what had happened.
"The fact that the Giant Wolf Venerable's avatar was killed by the Undying Demon Lord back then doesn't mean that the Giant Wolf Venerable was easy to bully... Even if the Golden Toad Great Sage were to take action, it shouldn't have been so easy, right?"
Judging from Su Ji's performance in the last battle between the dragon and the phoenix, he first killed the avatar of the Xiong Pi Venerable and then used the power of the Phoenix Emperor to destroy the Shrimp Dragon Venerable. He can be regarded as a top-level expert.
The Great Wolf Venerable has come in his true form and is incredibly powerful. Only an invincible powerhouse or an emperor could possibly subdue him in a short time. They all felt that the Golden Toad Great Sage could not possibly do it.
"I saw it. It was the Golden Toad Great Sage who made the move. I wonder if he used some kind of treasure to teleport the Giant Wolf Venerable or trap him in the void..."
Just like the Sea-Swallowing Pearl bestowed upon Venerable Honglan by the Dragon Emperor, it was a Heavenly-Rank Spiritual Treasure containing the universe within, with the boundless power of the vast blue sea inside. If Su Ji had not obtained the Sea-Overturning and Wave-Severing Ruler from the Eastern Azure Emperor, he would have found it difficult to achieve such outstanding results.
The Radiant Light Lamp of the Supreme Bodhisattva is a Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure, and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover of the Immortal Lord of Li Huo is also a Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure. Su Ji is a Great Sage under the Nine Heavens Prime Minister Po Ling Emperor, so possessing a Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure is nothing special for him.
"No, the fluctuations of a Heaven-Rank spiritual treasure are very obvious. Just now, the Golden Toad Great Sage most likely didn't use a Heaven-Rank spiritual treasure!"
The one who spoke was Venerable Xiongpi. Ever since Su Ji destroyed one of his clones in the Dragon-Phoenix battle, he had become increasingly cautious. This time, he had no intention of entering the tribulation and instead sat on the cloud as a spectator.
In order to be called a Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure, in addition to being forged from heavenly materials, it must also contain sufficient innate power.
Xiong Pi strongly suspected that this Golden Toad Great Sage's path-opening skills had improved somewhat, which was why he was able to so easily abduct the true form of the Giant Wolf Venerable.
"Has the Giant Wolf Venerable been kidnapped by the Golden Toad Great Sage?"
As the news spread, many immortals and gods were no longer concerned about the battle in the desert, but instead became "concerned" about the safety of the Giant Wolf Venerable.
There are three types of dragon struggles: the first is the struggle for the crown prince within the imperial court; the second is the dragon struggle of several years ago, in which three princes each claimed the throne; and the third is the dragon struggle involving a change of dynasty.
The struggle for succession is basically uninvolved by immortals and gods; the struggle between dragons of the same clan may involve immortals and gods betting on it, but at most it only stops at the level of divine generals; changing it to a succession involves the rotation of the Heavenly Emperor, and many beings at the level of divine lords will die or be injured.
Because the Heavenly Emperor only rotates among the Five Emperors, even if the battle is fierce, it is impossible for it to affect the powerful beings... Only the threat of racial extinction, such as the Dragon-Phoenix conflict not long ago, would cause the loss of powerful beings.
If the Giant Wolf Venerable were to die at the hands of the Golden Toad Great Sage because of Long Zheng, it would not only damage the reputation of the Barbarian God Clan, but it could also cause Long Zheng to level up, perhaps even to the level of an Emperor.
The Qiang people live in the gap between the sacred mountains and the Central Plains. Their strongest members are only great beings, and they would not dare to rebel if it were not for the support of the Buddhist religion.
The Barbarian Gods, however, occupy the giant island of the North Sea, possessing a large population and rich cultural traditions. Above them all are powerful beings, including a Barbarian Emperor who commands respect from all directions.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the giant island of the North Sea also had four distinct seasons. However, when the barbarian emperor offended the sun god, the sun's rays shifted southward, and the giant island of the North Sea became a world with only winter and summer, and perpetually cold.
To protect the foundation of his people, the Barbarian Emperor merged his own Great Dao with the giant island of the North Sea, and his scalding divine blood transformed into divine springs... making him a special being who could only maintain his Emperor-level combat power on the giant island of the North Sea.
Therefore, after the Barbarian Gods expanded their power to the northern desert, they coveted the Central Plains and even went so far as to collude with the Undying Demonic Cult.
However, the bloodline of the ancient gods' descendants gradually thinned, from demigods to mortals without any divine power. Finally, taking advantage of the last battle between the three dragons, and with the help of years of accumulation, they fought their way from the northern desert to the northern frontier and occupied a fertile land.
Fortune turns, and now the Barbarian God Clan has been defeated in the Dragon War and fled to the northern desert. They don't want to lose both their wife and their army.
"The Great Sage Golden Toad?"
Compared to most of the barbarian gods who had not awakened their divine blood, the Barbarian Emperor cared more about powerful beings like the Giant Wolf Venerable. It was only because the people of the Central Plains had the national fortune and the protection of the Heavenly Court that they were spared; otherwise, a single powerful being like the Giant Wolf Venerable could have wiped out all the life in the entire country.
Fortunately, there has been no major change in the Giant Wolf Venerable's dojo, indicating that his life is not in danger. It's just unknown whether the Giant Wolf Venerable is merely trapped or if the Golden Toad Great Sage showed mercy...
"In that case, I shall go and meet this Great Sage Golden Toad!"
Then they saw the largest divine spring in the center of the giant island in the North Sea radiating light, and the rising seven-colored smoke shot straight into the sky, quickly reaching the sky above the desert.
"Void ripples?"
Ordinary powerful beings may only obtain Heavenly Rank combat power by relying on the power of heaven and earth that is in harmony with the Dao, and their understanding of the void is not deep. However, the Barbarian Emperor was an existence who refined the innate divine light to become an emperor in the Primordial Era, and he saw through the clues at a glance.
"Primordial divine light, dissolve the void!"
As streaks of colorful light descended, the void bubbled up like boiling water, and the seemingly indestructible void barrier gradually melted away.
"Tear--"
A pair of giant hands formed from seven-colored rays of light suddenly tore at the sky, the void was like a soup dumpling being cut open, and the turbulent void flowed out like boiling soup.
"Ok?"
The Barbarian Emperor's expression hardened. Not only was there no sign of the Giant Wolf Venerable in the void, but even the Golden Toad Great Sage was nowhere to be seen. "This is clearly the place, why can't I find them?"
After sensing the surroundings, the Barbarian Emperor looked at a patch of sky not far away and repeated his old trick.
"Tear--"
Within the void, there was still only chaotic void currents swirling around, with no trace of the Giant Wolf Venerable or the Golden Toad Great Sage.
"Could it be that this is just a smokescreen left behind by the Golden Toad Great Sage, and the Giant Wolf Venerable has already been moved to another place?"
The Barbarian Emperor felt like he had been tricked. His body, composed of seven-colored rays of light, kept changing under the sunlight, and his entire body gradually turned black.
"Why is the barbarian emperor so enraged?"
Su Ji had been observing for a long time, and seeing that the Barbarian Emperor was about to "turn evil," he had no choice but to show himself.
It should be noted that the reason why the Barbarian Emperor had a conflict with the Sun God was because of the innate radiance that the Barbarian Emperor had refined.
This innate radiance can refine all things. The Barbarian Emperor's divine body devoured everything like a gluttonous beast. At first, it was able to maintain a certain balance, until one day, the Barbarian Emperor discovered the side effects of the innate radiance, which was that even his own body was gradually dissolving.
Therefore, the Barbarian Emperor set his sights on the only Heavenly Treasure Spiritual Root in this world, the Fusang Divine Tree, but in the end, he failed miserably and ended up in this predicament.
Su Ji didn't want to face a barbarian emperor who could unleash the "Heaven and Earth Coexistence" technique, so it was time to have a talk with him.
"You are the Golden Toad Great Sage?" The Barbarian Emperor's clone looked at Su Ji with surprise.
In the eyes of the Barbarian Emperor's avatar, Su Ji seemed to be not far away, yet he also seemed to be outside the Three Realms.
"That's right, I am the Golden Toad Great Sage under the command of the Nine Heavens Prime Minister, the Soul Spirit Emperor!"
Su Ji nodded, then flipped his hand and took out a handful of wolf fur:
"I suppose the Barbarian Emperor has come here to find the Giant Wolf Venerable. The Giant Wolf Venerable is currently in my hands. I wonder if the Barbarian Emperor would be willing to sit down and talk with me?"
Even the Five Emperors and the Sun God could not defeat this barbarian god-emperor, and Su Ji did not want to form a life-or-death enmity with him.
"Let's talk?"
The barbarian emperor looked at Su Ji domineeringly and said coldly:
"If it weren't for your protection as the Nine Heavens Prime Minister, I would have truly tasted the Great Sage's flavor today. Quickly release the Giant Wolf Venerable, and I will let this matter rest!"
Such threats posed no threat to Su Ji, after all, he had the Five Emperors, including the Heavenly Emperor, standing behind him, not to mention that the Barbarian Emperor's clone alone could not possibly find his location.
"Barbarian Emperor, my Great Dao is infinitely profound. I can kill the Giant Wolf Venerable before you find him, or I can let him go after you make a promise. It's up to you to choose."
"choose?"
The Barbarian Emperor smiled, and his entire body radiated a seven-colored glow as he suddenly shot towards a point in the void:
"Once I find your true form, I'll give you a few more options!"
"Tear--"
The void was instantly torn open in seven places, and countless void currents flew everywhere, even changing the weather above the desert. The Barbarian Emperor's expression froze.
After a long silence, the Barbarian Emperor had no choice but to accept reality, and said coldly:
"The Great Sage Golden Toad is indeed very capable. What exactly do you want to talk to me about?"
Su Ji smiled with satisfaction and stated the plan he had prepared long ago:
"Firstly, the barbarian tribesmen captured in this battle have no further connection with you."
"Secondly, the Barbarian God Clan will not be able to cross this desert again for the next hundred years!"
"Thirdly, unless I take the initiative to antagonize the Barbarian Gods, the Barbarian Gods shall not be my enemies."
The barbarian emperor naturally couldn't agree directly, so the two sides started discussing the matter and soon formally agreed on three rules.
The barbarians cannot answer the barbarian tribesmen's call, nor can they forbid the barbarian tribesmen from worshipping the barbarians;
The barbarian warriors cannot cross the desert, but merchants can trade... and the third rule remains unchanged.
Su Ji nodded: "In that case, I will release the Giant Wolf Venerable." (End of Chapter)
