Chapter 920: The Terrifying Strength of the God-making Race
Almost at the same moment the great battle between Red Ghost and An Yi began, a figure also arrived in front of Tian Jue.
Waves of crimson flames rolled through the void like Heavenly Fire, melting the icy ocean in the emptiness.
The person, whose entire body was engulfed in flames, stood in front of Tian Jue, sizing him up and said, "The clash between ice and fire, somewhat interesting indeed. Pity, you're not a true Stasis Series Dharma King."
"You are... the Fire-series Dharma King... Feng 6..." Tian Jue, emotionless as an ice jade statue, nevertheless named the newcomer, his voice tinged with a hint of surprise.
During the race war, the Cosmic dwellers all knew, the current Fire-series Dharma King was Feng 6 of the Phoenix Clan.
"You're half right," the Fire Man said indifferently, "Time's almost up, you should be on your way."
No sooner had his voice fallen than the surging Heavenly Fire engulfed the void.
The ice light on Tian Jue faced the overwhelming Heavenly Fire, its might incomparably feeble compared to before, and was swiftly devoured by the fire.
"Not good!" The spectators below like Tian Xiaocao and others had drastically changed expressions.
Tian Jue had not become a Dharma King after all, and there were problems with his body; facing the Fire-series Dharma King who could counter him was like fighting a losing battle.
Lin Shen's gaze shifted to Yan Ruyu, who understood Lin Shen's intent and nodded slightly, "I'll go help him, you be careful yourself."
With that, Yan Ruyu stepped into the void, heading toward the dueling Fire Man.
"Is she... going to be okay..." Tian Xiaoya asked, worried.
She hoped that Yan Ruyu could save Tian Jue, but the opponent was a Dharma King. Could Yan Ruyu really do it?
Tian Xiaocao and the others had the same thought. They knew Yan Ruyu was strong, but the enemy was a Dharma King; even the Heaven Law might struggle against such might.
"It should be manageable, but we need to be prepared. If things don't work out, we run. Start packing up," Lin Shen already intended to break out of Sky Pinnacle Star.
There was no hope of victory for the Celestial Race; even with Yan Ruyu, it wouldn't be enough.
"Worldly possessions are irrelevant, no need to pack," replied Tian Xiaocao and the others, shaking their heads, their gazes fraught with worry as they watched the void.
Yan Ruyu stepped upon the void, and with a flick of her finger, the pervasive Heavenly Fire started to converge towards a point of Jade Light between her fingertips.
The Jade Light formed a jade orb at her fingertip, suctioning in the Heavenly Fire. The orb grew larger and large, the flames inside becoming more and more fierce, like a burning star, constantly expanding.
The Heavenly Fire of the Fire-series Dharma King was entirely absorbed into it.
"There's actually a Dharma King among the Celestial Race..." The Fire Man was slightly surprised, sizing up Yan Ruyu with interest.
As this was said, Tian Xiaocao and the others were both shocked and delighted; they all knew Yan Ruyu was strong, but never imagined that she was actually a Dharma King.
"Tian Jue, you go first, I have this under control," Yan Ruyu said to the Fire Man.
"This is my fight; you don't need to interject. Take Lin Shen and the others and go," Tian Jue however, showed no intention of leaving.
"Today, no one is leaving." Three figures descended from above the Immortal Corps, arriving behind the Fire Man.
One of them, clad in armor shining like diamond, radiated dazzling brilliance, the figure making it difficult to see clearly, looked at Yan Ruyu with interest and spoke, "A Dharma King of the Jade Series, interesting. I'll handle this one. You all tend to your own business."
"Alright, Treasure God, she's all yours." Among the other two, a person towering like a giant deity glanced at the Fire Man and spoke, "Fire King, make it quick, don't dawdle."
"Mind your own business," the Fire King snorted coldly, his Heavenly Fire flaring up again as he rolled towards Tian Jue.
Watching Tian Jue fall back into a hard fight, Yan Ruyu did not offer support. She locked eyes with the person whose body gleamed with the light of treasures, neither daring to make a move.
"Treasure God, the leader of the God-making Race's wealth group, how may I address you?" Treasure God unfurled his brilliant wings, like those of a diamond-crafted, Single-Horned Dragon Person.
"Yan Ruyu," Yan Ruyu answered.
Treasure God looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "I haven't heard of you. I've only heard that Yu Xuanji had an adopted daughter named Yu Yan. Since you've become the Dharma King of the Jade Series, it seems that Yu Xuanji must be dead. That guy always prided himself on his intelligence and looked down on others; he disdained joining forces with us. Didn't expect he would be taken down by his own adopted daughter."
"Yu Xuanji was from the God-making Race?" Yan Ruyu was slightly startled.
"Don't you know? He and I have always been at odds. I've been wanting to see who is more powerful, but due to both of us being leaders of the God-making Race, I couldn't act against him. Today, it's perfect to have a showdown with you and see who is stronger—the Dharma King of my Treasure Series, or the Dharma King of your Jade Series." As Treasure God spoke, he flapped his wings and charged at Yan Ruyu with his physical body.
Yan Ruyu's gaze sharpened, transforming into a jade body, and clashed fiercely with Treasure God.
The collision of their physical forms triggered a shockwave so terrifying that it burst out in all directions, radiating streams of light. The dreadful Light Burst Ring extended outward, and everything blocking its path was destroyed.
The expressions on Lin Shen and the others were exceedingly grim. To think that the God-making Race possessed so many Dharma King level powerhouses.
The two people that came with Treasure God were most likely also at the Dharma King level. It seemed the Celestial Race was doomed today.
Moreover, Lin Shen had yet to see Tian Jiuyou.
Tian Jiuyou, who also colluded with the God-making Race and wished nothing more than the utter destruction of the Celestial Race, would definitely not miss this opportunity.
By that account, the God-making Race presently had at least three Dharma King level powerhouses.
Even if Lin Shen fought to the death against one Dharma King, there were still two more that could not be stopped. No matter how he looked at it, the Celestial Race was finished today.
In fact, the situations of both Tian Jue and An Yi were far from optimistic. They were at a significant disadvantage in their battles with the Dharma Kings, and it was doubtful they could last much longer.
Lin Shen's expression fluctuated. The situation was dire, and even he had difficulty making a decision.
If even Lin Shen felt the situation was tricky, the rest of the Celestial Race was even more desperate. Tian Xiaocao drew her Life Base, ready to fight to the death: "To kill one in defeat pays for itself; killing two earns one."
Tian Xiaoya and the others felt the same, all contemplating a fight to the death.
The two leaders of the God-making Race arrived in front of the Imperial Palace.
After exchanging a glance, the colossal God-making Race leader punched towards the Law Barrier of the Imperial Palace.
The formidable Fist Power created cracks in the Law Barrier, which even the Pseudo Immortal Corps had bombarded for a long time without success in breaking.
"Giant Spirit, did you skip a meal?" Gu Xia, short in stature with a donkey face, mockingly said.
Giant Spirit snorted coldly and summoned a massive hammer-shaped Life Base, slamming it into the Law Barrier.
The blow sent the Law Barrier quivering perilously, tearing open large rifts.
Giant Spirit hammered away at the Law Barrier, each strike seemingly powerful enough to shatter planets. After several continuous hits, the Law Barrier of the Imperial Palace finally broke open a gap.
Just as they were about to step through, they saw someone sitting on a large chair in front of the Imperial Palace gate, appearing like the Imperial Palace's Gatekeeper.
"Tianshu..." Both Giant Spirit and Gu Xia were momentarily taken aback as they recognized the person sitting boldly in front of the Imperial Palace gate; it was none other than the young Emperor Tianshu.
