I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 486: The Earthly Catastrophe

The conversation between Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie took place, with each exchanging words and setting conditions.

Regarding this, Lu Heng's face was filled with helplessness.

"Being peerless cultivators and top-notch cultivators, why do you bother with trivial rumors like village gossip? If it spreads, it may tarnish your reputation," Lu Heng earnestly advised his two friends.

Upon hearing this, Candle Dragon chuckled and said, "If this matter were to spread, the people would not care whether I and Friend Jiu Mie are gossipmongers. Instead, they would be more interested in the affairs of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain and the Dragon Emperor hehe"

After saying that, Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie burst into hearty laughter.

Lu Heng listened in silence, shaking his head. He said, "Since both of you are so curious, I shall satisfy your curiosity today. However, concerning this journey to the Arctic Skyark Palace"

"We three shall brave the wind and rain, standing united in both progress and retreat!" Jiu Mie declared resolutely.

Candle Dragon also wore a serious expression, nodding solemnly, as he said, "Friend Lu Heng's concerns are my concerns as well."

Both of the troublesome friends simultaneously expressed their determination.

Upon witnessing this, Lu Heng let out a deep sigh and said, "Since it is so, then let me inform both of my dear friends"

Subsequently, Lu Heng proceeded to recount the events that took place within the Starry Sky Tomb to his two dear companions before him.

On the Cliff of Dao, tranquility prevailed for a moment.

After Jiu Mie and Candle Dragon finished listening, they exchanged glances and said, "This is it?"

Both individuals turned their gaze towards Lu Heng, their eyes filled with suspicion, like two deceived and gullible scapegoats.

Suppressing a smile, Lu Heng spoke with utmost seriousness, "Indeed, just this Are my dear friends truly expecting some melodramatic plot to unfold?"

"Tsst" Jiu Mie sneered and said, "The old wolf truly remains a cunning character, harboring ill intentions and possessing superior skills. Deliberately throwing out a bait to deceive us, luring the two of us into making promises, only to reveal an empty box in the end Sigh It turns out the true fool is none other than myself, and the old ascetic cultivator has once again been toyed with. Alas, such lamentation!"

Jiu Mie deeply regretted and bitterly denounced Lu Heng's cunning.

Candle Dragon also shook his head and sighed, "Friend Lu Heng, indeed sigh 'One must be willing to accept defeat in a wager.' We are willing to accompany our friend to the Arctic Skyark Palace in the upcoming journey. However, this matter has significant implications. How does our friend plan to proceed? Could you kindly inform Candle of your intentions in advance, so that Candle may also prepare accordingly."

Disappointed, Candle Dragon, who had been anticipating a melodramatic story, had no choice but to inquire about the real matter at hand.

After all, the actual matter is quite intriguing. How will the conflict between the two factions of Hanyu Mountain come to a close? What fate awaits Demon King Sun Yan, who has deviated from Lu Heng's teachings? These are questions that both Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie are curious about.

Lu Heng then sighed and said, "Though the All Souls Blood Magic Array may be horrifying, with the three of us, it is impossible for Sun Yan to succeed. Moreover, compared to Sun Yan, there is actually another hidden danger, which is far more serious than Sun Yan himself. Let me explain in detail to both of you, my dear friends like this and like that"

In this manner, Lu Heng informed Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie about the incident where he inadvertently encountered foreign visitors and ultimately defeated them.

To enhance the effect, Lu Heng raised the teacup and gently sprinkled its contents towards the cliff. The tea scattered into the void, transforming into a white mist. Within the mist, the figures of several foreign visitors gradually emerged.

They shouted and cheered relentlessly, exuding a domineering presence, as if they were a dozen of the world's top innate beings incarnate. Such grandeur and magnificence cannot be merely simulated by ordinary illusions.

However, Lu Heng's astonishing technique didn't elicit much surprise from Jiu Mie and Candle Dragon. The old ascetic cultivator and the old wolf in Candle Dragon's heart were inherently enigmatic and dark-hearted, so any astounding act was not particularly shocking to them. Even if Lu Heng were to reveal his true identity as the Emperor Fu Xi to them now, neither Jiu Mie nor Candle Dragon would be amazed.

They watched the figures in the mist shouting, which vividly replayed the battle that had taken place in the underground lava lake, giving them a clear understanding of the strength of these dozen foreign visitors.

Especially the presence that calls itself the Annihilation Buddhist Venerable One

Jiu Mie frowned and said, "This Annihilation Buddhist Venerable One, possesses such formidable strength but it appears that above him, in the Earth Spirit Realm, there are twelve Buddhist Venerable Ones who are even stronger"

Candle Dragon's expression also appeared somewhat unpleasant, "Indeed, the World of Eight Desolations occasionally sends spies to infiltrate the Celestial Desolation Realm. The presence of the Mermaid Kingdom in the South Sea serves as a countermeasure against these spies' large-scale infiltrations. Usually, the discovered foreign cultivators are not particularly powerful, but this time they have mobilized individuals of such high caliber"

In Candle Dragon's eyes, there was a profound and ominous intent to kill.

Lu Heng sighed and said, "This is also a matter of concern for me Sending such top-notch cultivators here shows that the situation in the Celestial Desolation Realm has made those foreign individuals nervous. They regularly annihilate the creatures in the Celestial Desolation Realm to prevent the emergence of figures as formidable as the Emperor."

"And now, the chaotic paths of righteousness and evil have all been consolidated by someone. The Heavenly Court, representing the righteous path, almost dominates the entire sea, commanding the immortal realm above and ruling the netherworld below, exhibiting an unprecedented level of immense power."

"And under the consolidation of Sun Yan in the demonic path, as well as the pressure exerted by the righteous influence of the Heavenly Court, the forces of the demonic path also had to unite. Throughout history, only in the hands of that ancient great demon could the demonic path have such a prosperous scene"

"It can be said that the power of both the righteous and the demonic path in the Celestial Desolation Realm has reached its pinnacle. It has never been so mighty for millions of years"

Lu Heng, when speaking about this, was interrupted by Candle Dragon, who boldly exclaimed, "Boldly speaking, the Celestial Desolation Realm, which has been in a state of chaotic disorder, has not witnessed such a mighty spectacle for millions of years."

"Um Well, for millions of years," Lu Heng said helplessly, "In any case, the sight of the righteous and evil paths being highly consolidated like this has not been seen in many years. Of course, the successful establishment of the Heavenly Court is mainly thanks to the assistance of the Human Emperor Palace."

Just as Lu Heng was speaking about this, Jiu Mie, who was beside him, spoke up, saying, "Here, it's just the three of us. Even if you boast about your disciple, no one will accuse you of having thick skin cough cough cough"

After Jiu Mie finished speaking, he noticed Lu Heng glaring at him, so he coughed and raised his teacup, saying, "Let's have some tea, let's have some tea. Please continue."

Lu Heng glanced at the old monk disdainfully, then continued, "In any case, the arduous task of consolidating the forces of the cultivation world has not been seen for millions of years. And this time, after Sun Yan and Xiao Ai each consolidated the powers of the righteous and demonic paths, it is evident that the group from the foreign realm is in chaos."

"They fear the power of the cultivators consolidated within the Celestial Desolation Realm, so they dispatched such top-notch cultivators to enter the Celestial Desolation Realm. It must be for some ulterior motive."

"If we speculate on a smaller scale, they are trying to secretly provoke a war between the righteous and demonic factions, causing both the Heavenly Court and the Demon Palace to suffer heavy losses, thus eliminating any future threats from them."

"If we speculate on a larger scale"

Lu Heng, reaching this point, paused and glanced towards his two comrades.

On the Cliff of Dao, after a moment of slight silence, the three individuals simultaneously smirked and uttered a word.

"The Earthly Catastrophe!"
