Capítulo 1361: Chapter 1361: Emperor Shang vs. Hongyuan Saint Heir All six Angels were heavily injured, because the Hongyuan Holy Son standing before them was unbelievably strong, rendering the six of them unable to defeat him. “Just a bunch of birdmen thinking they can take my beast pill?” Hongyuan Holy Son did not consider the six Angels a threat, since his rank among the top five Sons was not without merit. With only five people able to enter the next level, Hongyuan Holy Son felt immense pressure, knowing that among the top five Holy Sons, he was the weakest, making him extremely vulnerable. If anyone’s beast pill count exceeded his, he would be eliminated. Initially, Hongyuan Holy Son thought Ye Qiu posed the greatest threat to him, given Ye Qiu’s ability to defeat Elder Mu Zun had shown considerable strength. However, it didn’t take long for Hongyuan Holy Son to realize he had overestimated Ye Qiu, as Ye Qiu’s name never made it into the top five, and the red-clothed fairy couldn’t possibly be Ye Qiu either. Without Ye Qiu, a red-clothed fairy emerged instead, even directly competing with Taiyi Holy Son—her strength shocked Hongyuan Holy Son. His speed at killing beasts lagged far behind hers, and in just a few days, he was removed from the top five, never ascending again, while the red-clothed fairy remained firmly in second place, even surpassing Demon Lord Holy Son and Turquoise Pool Saintess. This increased the pressure on Hongyuan Holy Son immensely; he had to quickly obtain beast pills, or he would indeed be eliminated. So, Hongyuan Holy Son frantically searched for targets to seize beast pills. After a series of seizures, his beast pill count soared but still lagged behind the fifth position. Until he encountered Emperor Shang, a tough bone to chew, Hongyuan Holy Son faced an obstruction for the first time, unable to defeat his opponent immediately. Each of the six Angels, individually, couldn’t harm Hongyuan Holy Son; even the strongest Angel, Amura, only slightly scratched him. But together, their combined power felt a bit pressuring. Hongyuan Holy Son unleashed his true power, engaging in battle with the six Angels. It drained significant energy but ultimately crushed their unity, leaving the six Angels grievously wounded. This outcome didn’t surprise Hongyuan Holy Son. What truly concerned him wasn’t these birdmen, but rather Emperor Shang behind them. Googlᴇ search N()velFire.net The six Angels, severely injured, watched as Emperor Shang stepped forward before them. “My Lord, we were unable; we failed to defeat this blasphemer.” Amura lowered his head, expressing deep guilt. “You’ve done well to reach this point; this person is not your match; I will deal with him.” Emperor Shang did not blame the six Angels, having observed Hongyuan Holy Son’s strength throughout the battle. Hence, he had to intervene now, or else, continued fighting would result in the death of the six Angels. “Young man, you can hand over the beast pill, and I will spare your life.” Emperor Shang softly spoke to Hongyuan Holy Son. Hongyuan Holy Son sneered: “You’re just a false god. In the Ancestral Land, someone like you wouldn’t even qualify to carry my shoes.” “Bold words, insulting the divine, you shall suffer Divine Punishment.” Angel Amura rebuked from Emperor Shang’s side. “Divine nonsense! There aren’t any gods even in the Ancestral Land, yet a tiny Earth has someone daring to claim divinity, what a cosmic joke.” Hongyuan Holy Son displayed utter disdain. “Regardless of your acknowledgment, I am the god revered by people, which will never change. I deliver miracles, heal the sick, realize people’s wishes, and bring bright futures; thus people believe in me. I know you come from outer space, and I shall take my miracles there, radiating my glory across the universe.” Emperor Shang spoke calmly. “Haha, an ant like you dares to claim you’ll shine across the universe; once you’re in the Ancestral Land, you’ll realize your insignificance. Like a country bumpkin that exists, you’re merely a frog in the well, never knowing the vastness of the skies, or the expansiveness of the lands.” Hongyuan Holy Son mocked. Emperor Shang frowned deeply, clearly angered by Hongyuan Holy Son’s disdain, but he refrained from bursting out, maintaining a smile on his face. “If you doubt me, I’ll prove I am invincible; I am the only true god in this world!” Suddenly, Emperor Shang’s body surged, radiating light, with layers of halos emanating from his back. If ordinary people witnessed this scene, they would certainly kneel in reverence, shouting for the manifestation of divinity. However, falling in Hongyuan Holy Son’s eyes, it was nothing but a joke. “Making a fuss over nothing. If you’re a god, then everyone in the Ancestral Land must be gods.” Hongyuan Holy Son ridiculed. “Alright, then let me show you whether my so-called pretense can defeat you.” With that said, Emperor Shang raised his hand, stating, “I declare, let there be light in this world, so there is light. I declare, let there be darkness, thus there is darkness.” One hand brimmed with dazzling white light, holding a white orb in the palm, radiating brilliance. The other hand held a black orb, pitch-black, as if countless dark light intertwined, emitting a faint black glow. “The Light and Dark Art, the god intends to punish this blasphemer.” Several Angels appeared excited, seemingly not having seen Emperor Shang use this technique for a long time. In the distance, Ye Qiu saw one hand of darkness and one of light, a bit surprised. He had always sensed Emperor Shang’s hidden depths. Despite several previous exchanges with Emperor Shang, he hadn’t seen such a means used, indicating that with a physical form, Emperor Shang was far more terrifying than when residing in the statue. “Punish me? You’re not even qualified.” Hongyuan Holy Son showed no fear; his fingers rotated, inconspicuous, causing a vortex to rise from his hand, generating immense power within his palm. “Offending the divine, I grant you the sentence of death.” Emperor Shang placed both light and darkness together. Instantly, they merged into a half-black, half-white sphere, exuding a terrifying aura, surging towards Hongyuan Holy Son. Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed, growing familiar with Emperor Shang’s method; wasn’t this the approach he used to fuse Rule Power? Seems Emperor Shang also understood this application. “No, there’s a force within beyond the powers of light and dark.” Ye Qiu scrutinized, full of curiosity about what this third integrated force was; it wasn’t as simple as he fusing three Rule Powers, as solely three Rule Powers wouldn’t unleash such might. Elsewhere, both Unfettered Holy Son and Sword Infant Holy Son anticipated this grand collision, as each clash meant greater damage for both involved, ultimately allowing them to reap the benefits as the final victors. “Fight to the death; that way, all beast pills will effortlessly belong to us both.” Anticipated Unfettered Holy Son.
