The Heavenly Dao's snow-white hand emitted a strange fragrance, like an extremely delicious meat.
Looking at that large hand, Xu Qing licked his lips and quickly looked at the captain.
The madness in the captain's eyes was extremely intense and his movements were incomparably familiar. At that moment, as his limbs hugged the Heavenly Dao's hand, he bit the Heavenly Dao's hand with all his might.
Perhaps it was because he was the father of the Heavenly Dao and coupled with the merit from before, the captain really seemed to have bitten down on something. After forcefully swallowing it, he laughed crazily.
"Worth…"
However, before he could finish speaking, under Qing Qiu and Ning Yan's dumbfounded gazes, the captain's voice suddenly changed into a wail.
It was as though he had eaten something that couldn't be digested. His stomach instantly swelled up and exploded.
As flesh and blood splattered everywhere, an extremely dense Heavenly Dao aura spread out from the hole in his stomach. One could see that it was a piece of golden skin.
The captain's eyes widened and he released his hands to cover his stomach. However, it was still too late. The power of collapsing didn't stop and rapidly spread throughout his body.
In the blink of an eye, the captain's hands collapsed and his lower body exploded. Regardless of whether it was his intestines or legs, they completely collapsed and scattered in all directions, turning into countless pieces of minced meat.
As blood filled the sky, his upper body wasn't spared either and exploded as well.
His abdomen shattered into pieces and his chest directly crumbled apart. His internal organs rapidly dissipated. Finally, amidst the badly mangled flesh, only his hardest head was left.
It was unknown how the captain's head survived but it was still barely intact. The wails from his mouth could still be heard. At that moment, he swung it and headed straight for the golden skin, biting it.
This time, he didn't swallow it but held it in his mouth. His eyes revealed madness again as he tried his best to shake his hair and hang himself on a branch. As he chewed, he made up for what he hadn't finished saying earlier.
"…it!!"
Qing Qiu gasped. Ning Yan was dumbfounded. He had seen people courting death before, but it was really rare to see someone courting death like this person in front of him. In comparison, he felt that being bitten a few times earlier was nothing.
As for the Heavenly Dao, it also sensed that it had been bitten. After its large hand paused, a puzzled gaze landed from the crack, as though it didn't know what that head was doing.
Its hand wasn't injured at all. Clearly, what the captain had bitten off was just a piece of skin.
After failing to find anything, the Heavenly Dao continued to grab the ten guts trees and stuffed them into its stomach in the crack.
Seeing this scene, Xu Qing immediately dispelled the thought of taking a bite. At the same time, the captain's wild laughter echoed in all directions.
"Haha, I've finally eaten the Heavenly Dao!"
"Let's leave, let's leave."
"Junior Brother, I don't know where we'll be teleported to either. Anyway, the approximate range isn't wrong. We will leave it to fate!"
As the captain laughed, his forehead shone with a golden light. As it spread out, it transformed into golden runes that instantly reached a number of hundreds of thousands, enveloping the surroundings and forming four huge teleportation arrays.
These four teleportation arrays were all translucent and had a range of 10,000 feet. They were filled with the aura of the Heavenly Dao.
Clearly, the piece of skin the captain had bitten off was effective at this moment.
The moment the four array formations were formed, an earth-shattering teleportation power rose from them. After that, it transformed into four lights. One of the two densest ones enveloped the captain and the other flew toward Xu Qing.
The other two headed toward Ning Yan and Qing Qiu.
Seeing this, Xu Qing knew that he didn't need to kick the captain to the teleportation array.
Very soon, amidst Qing Qiu and Ning Yan's hurried breathing, the color of the sky changed and a storm brewed. As four earth-shattering booms echoed, the teleportation was activated!
In that instant, everyone's figures disappeared from the area of the Ten Guts Trees.
After they disappeared, the large hand that stretched out from the crack continued to pull the remaining ten guts trees without stopping. Very soon, it stuffed the remaining trees and countless roots into the crack.
When the last root dissipated in the sky, the crack slowly closed and finally disappeared.
Everything returned to normal.
It was just that… the ground was a mess.
The True Immortal Ten Guts that had stood here for countless years were gone.
There was only a huge deep pit on the ground and fissures that extended out of it like spiderwebs.
As for the 36 cities, more than half of their cities had collapsed. All the Holy Wave Race members were shaken by this scene, and their minds were still buzzing.
The king of the Zenith Nation looked at the sky from afar. Endless thoughts surged in his mind and his breathing was hurried. His right hand alternated between clenching and relaxing. Clearly, he was struggling inwardly.
Zhou Xingwu, who was beside him, was also shocked. While he was silent, Lin Yuandong, who was behind him, suddenly spoke loudly.
"The divine son is mighty!"
Zhou Xingwu wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't. As for the king of the Zenith Kingdom, he completely let go of his right hand at this moment. Determination appeared in his eyes as he cupped his fists and bowed to the sky.
"Farewell, Divine Son!"
As the king of the Zenith Nation spoke, the group of cultivators behind him all bowed to the sky.
In the end, Zhou Xingwu also lowered his head.
At this moment, the sky that had returned to normal suddenly changed again. An endless sea of light appeared in the sky and spread in all directions. Amidst the clouds and mist, a huge figure in an emperor's robe appeared.
The wide golden emperor robe displayed holy might. The nine dragons embroidered on it seemed to really exist and were sealed on the robe. They flowed like water, emitting a noble aura.
The red crown on the figure's head was like a red sun, forming a huge red halo behind the figure.
The most eye-catching thing was the crown tassels hanging down from the emperor's crown. There were a total of 24 tassels in front and behind. Each tassel was embedded with 12 jade pearls. While they covered the figure's face, they also emitted a resplendent light, making it even harder for one to look straight at the figure.
One could only vaguely see that the person in the emperor's robe was a middle-aged man.
The moment he appeared, the color of the world changed and the ground rumbled. An intense pressure enveloped the surroundings like an avalanche.
The instant he saw this figure, Zhou Xingwu immediately knelt down.
"Monarch!"
The king of the Zenith Kingdom also trembled and knelt down. All the black-clothed guards and all the Holy Wave Race members of the 36 cities knelt down to the figure in the sky.
"Monarch!"
In the Heavenly Wind Dynasty, the so-called monarch was actually a king to a certain extent.
The only ancestral emperor in the entire Holy Wave Race was in the Ancestral Emperor's Court that was above the four dynasties in the Holy Wave Race!
The person who came was naturally not the ancestral emperor who had not appeared for ten thousand years. He was the monarch of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty who had received the decree of the Black Heaven Temple and personally came to welcome the divine son.
He stood between heaven and earth with an expressionless face. He first glanced at the deep pit of the True Immortal Ten Guts on the ground and then looked at the place where the crack had appeared in the sky. After a long silence, he calmly spoke.
"Mu Tianzheng."
"Here!" The king of the Zenith Nation replied loudly.
"Your son, Muye, has done a meritorious service in welcoming the divine son. The temple has bestowed him the qualifications of a divine servant."
When the king of the Zenith Nation heard this, endless excitement stirred in his heart. His body trembled and he bowed repeatedly to the sky.
"Mu Tianzheng thanks the monarch!"
When the Heavenly Wind Monarch heard these words of gratitude, his deep gaze glanced at the king of the Zenith Kingdom who was kneeling there. After that, he looked into the distance and calmly spoke.
"Since the Divine Son has the intention to avoid me, I'll let you guys search for him and tell him about the Black Heaven's summoning decree."
With that, the Heavenly Wind Monarch turned and took a step into the void. Before he disappeared, he paused for a moment and gently grabbed at the place where the teleportation arrays had appeared.
Immediately, the area rumbled and collapsed. All traces completely dissipated. They couldn't be traced or investigated.
After doing this, the Heavenly Wind Monarch expressionlessly disappeared.
On the ground, Zhou Xingwu fell into deep thought as he muttered inwardly.
'The monarch came so timely…'
The king of the Zenith Nation acted as though he didn't see the scene in the sky. The moment he stood up, he immediately ordered his subordinates to scatter and search for the divine son.
This search went beyond this area. The various departments and branch forces of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty, under the decree of the Heavenly Wind Monarch, combed through the entire territory to locate the divine son.
This mighty commotion of searching for the divine son was delayed by three days because it took time for the decree to be transmitted.
However, not only did the Black Heaven Temple in the Heavenly Wind Dynasty issue a decree. Very soon, the other three dynasties of the Holy Wave Race also received the decree from their respective temples and began to search.
The Red Spirit Dynasty and the Moon Fog Dynasty were particularly zealous in their search. The Black Heaven Temples, which had been dormant for many years, also joined the search efforts.
In fact, countless races that were dependent on the Black Heaven Race and the Holy Wave Race also received the stern decrees of the two dynasties and the temples and joined the search.
Just like that, this search for the divine son gradually caused a stir in the entire Holy Wave Large Region.
Martial law was imposed on their borders.
The situation continued to escalate
This scene naturally attracted the attention of Fenghai County. After they used their methods to investigate a portion of the reason, the county was shaken. A huge commotion erupted in the three palaces, including the Sword Holding Palace.
"The Black Heaven Race's divine son?"
"The True Immortal Ten Guts Tree that has stood for countless years is gone? From now on, the Holy Wave Race will have one less miraculous place?"
"The Black Heaven Temples issued a decree to the four dynasties?"
"The high priests of the Black Heaven Temples of the Red Spirit Dynasty and the Moon Fog Dynasty personally went out?"
"Why did the high priest of the temple in the Heavenly Wind Dynasty only give the order and not go out? Moreover, he tacitly allowed the Heavenly Wind Monarch to delay for three days?"
The upper echelons of Fenghai County held an emergency meeting. At the same time, a large number of Sword Holders also received missions and headed to the borders to be in charge of martial law, guarding against the Holy Wave Race taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
Kong Xianglong and the others also accepted a similar mission. When they went out, they looked at each other and noticed the deep suspicion in each other's eyes.
"It shouldn't be them, right?" Shan He mumbled.
"Impossible. After all, it's the divine son. Don't spout nonsense and scare others!" Wang Chen's heart trembled as he shook his head forcefully.
"That's right, haha. I was thinking too much. This matter caused such a huge storm in the Holy Wave Race. How could it be the two of them!" Shan He forced out a laugh.
"But I remember that when Xu Qing and Chen Erniu left, they mentioned that the place they were going to was none other than the True Immortal Ten Guts. They even said something about doing something big…" Night Spirit said hesitantly.
Everyone fell silent.
A long time later, Kong Xianglong suppressed the trembling in his heart and spoke solemnly.
"Maybe there was another group of Black Heaven Race there."
"That's right, that should be the case!" When Shan He and the others heard this, they hurriedly nodded before remaining silent. Other than rushing on their way, their expressions more or less carried a hint of trance.
