Chapter 1875 Using Living Beings as Threats
Chapter 1875 Using Living Beings as Threats
Chenxi sneered, his face full of disdain.
"How could the Lord of Heaven not lie? You have just conquered the Three Divine Stars and taken over the Buddhist Land. The Heavenly Court's ambitions are obvious. You want to take action against me and then take over the Sun-Shining Ancient Star. Isn't that a perfectly normal thing?"
Upon hearing Chen Xi's words, the expressions of the many cultivators on the Sun Shining Ancient Star changed slightly.
They all realized this, and their eyes were filled with hostility as they looked at Ye Ning.
In their view, Ye Ning must have said the same thing as Chen Xi: he wanted to take over the Sunshine Ancient Star, so he made up an excuse to attack it.
What he just said was clearly slander!
How could a top-tier Great Sage possibly frame a cultivator who is merely at the Divine Illumination level? It simply doesn't make sense.
And coincidentally, that person was the confidante of the Heavenly Lord.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned hostile as they looked at Ye Ning. Everyone felt that Ye Ning was deliberately picking a fight, and that this was the prelude to taking over the Sunshine Ancient Star.
Realizing this, everyone looked at Ye Ning with dissatisfaction and murderous intent.
Ye Ning clearly hadn't expected the other party to be so shameless, accusing him of one crime after another, and even bringing up the matter of the Heavenly Court taking over the Three Divine Stars and the Buddhist Land.
Thinking of this, Ye Ning smiled, her eyes flashing with a cold light.
He stared at Chen Xi and said calmly, "I dare to swear to the heavens, to prove my words with the laws of heaven. Do you dare?"
These words moved everyone present.
They stared at Ye Ning in horror, then their gazes fell on Chen Xi.
A vow made in accordance with the will of Heaven is not something to be taken lightly.
Unless you are a Heavenly Emperor, once you make a vow to Heaven, it will inevitably come true.
Only those at the Heavenly Emperor level can defy the Heavenly Dao.
So, what the Lord of Heaven said was true?
Their gazes toward Chenxi instantly turned hostile.
Chenxi's words just now were meant to mislead them, to make them share a common hatred for the Heavenly Lord, and to turn them into Chenxi's weapons against the Heavenly Lord.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned cold.
Chenxi stood there without saying a word, while the others urged her on.
“Chenxi, if what you said is true and you have a clear conscience, what is there to be afraid of swearing? Just swear it to him and prove yourself, so that we can all feel at ease.”
One of the Great Sage experts spoke up. He was at the eighth level of the Great Sage realm, and his strength was slightly inferior to Chen Xi's, but he was not afraid of Chen Xi. The two had never gotten along.
This person had been suppressed by Chen Xi all along, and now that he had found an opportunity, he couldn't help but speak up and deliberately provoke Chen Xi.
Chen Xi glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, "Why should I swear something I didn't do? It's utterly ridiculous!"
Hearing Chenxi's words, everyone was shocked. They all felt that what the Lord of Heaven said was probably true.
Chenxi was indeed lying to everyone, and he did indeed frame a female cultivator at the Divine Illumination level.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Chen Xi with disdain.
It was hard for them to believe that a powerful being at the peak of the Great Sage realm could be so shameless.
Feeling the disdain and contempt in everyone's eyes, Chenxi knew she couldn't fool them anymore.
His expression turned slightly cold as he looked at Ye Ning and said calmly, "I will not admit to things I did not do. Lord of Heaven, who does not know that you possess the Immortal-Slaying Blade? The Immortal-Slaying Blade is an immortal artifact, and even the Heavenly Dao cannot do anything to you. The oath you swore to the Heavenly Dao is completely useless."
A thought struck everyone; that was indeed a possibility.
After all, the Immortal-Slaying Blade is an immortal artifact, and even the Heavenly Dao probably cannot surpass it.
Thinking about this, a hint of doubt arose in everyone's hearts.
Could it be that the Lord of Heaven is indeed lying? The Great Sage, who slandered the Sun-Shining Ancient Star, wants to take this opportunity to seize the Sun-Shining Ancient Star and turn it into the territory of Heaven.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Ye Ning with complicated expressions.
Ye Ning smiled faintly and said nothing more.
He knew that arguing with the other side here was pointless; only a battle could resolve everything. In the end, the strong prevailed.
Ye Ning made his move immediately, his powerful aura overwhelming the starry sky and enveloping his opponent.
When the two clashed, their hands collided, unleashing terrifying divine power.
The surrounding void was shattered, and the laws intertwined, possessing terrifying destructive power.
Even powerful Saint Venerables dared not stand still and quickly fled far away, fearing they would be affected by the aftershocks of the two's battle.
Ye Ning then unleashed his Star Radiance, enveloping Li Taiwei. Even if a quasi-Heavenly Emperor level expert launched a sneak attack, it would be impossible to harm Li Taiwei.
Having done all this, Ye Ning was able to focus wholeheartedly on launching an attack on Chen Xi.
His attack was extremely powerful, with terrifying divine power surging forth. Even a peak Great Sage couldn't help but change color at this moment.
Chenxi understood that the rumors of Ye Ning killing a peak Great Sage were not unfounded; he truly possessed that kind of strength. As soon as she exchanged blows with him, she felt a terrifying power that was in no way inferior to her own.
If he knew that Ye Ning was not using the power of the Immortal-Slaying Blade at this moment, he would probably be even more shocked.
Even without the power of the Immortal-Slaying Blade, Ye Ning was now able to defeat even a peak Great Sage.
The two clashed fiercely, unleashing terrifying divine power between them, creating a terrifying and overwhelming force that suppressed the world.
This caused all living beings on the entire Sun-Shining Ancient Star to look up in this direction. Some beings even knelt on the ground, overwhelmed by the residual power of their battle and unable to lift their heads.
Even cultivators with lower cultivation levels were filled with fear at this moment, feeling as if the end of the world was coming.
As the two clashed, the earth below began to crack.
This made Ye Ning frown. He came to take down Chen Xi, not to harm the creatures of this Sun-Shining Ancient Star.
Thinking of this, Ye Ning said coldly, "Let's fight in the starry sky, without affecting the creatures here."
Chenxi coldly replied, "You think I don't know? You must have laid some traps in the starry sky, just waiting for me to go there so you can kill me. I won't fall for it."
At this point, Chenxi looked disdainful.
Everyone understood Chenxi's intention: he deliberately remained within the Sun-Shining Ancient Star so that the Lord of Heaven would be wary and less decisive in his actions.
After all, if two powerful beings at the peak of the Great Saint realm were to engage in a duel, all living beings within a radius of ten thousand miles would likely be affected and torn to pieces.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Chenxi with hostility.
The Heavenly Lord is not a being from the Sun-Shining Ancient Star, and he does not want to affect the ordinary beings here or cause them harm.
However, Chenxi, as a Great Sage of the Sun-Shining Ancient Star, used the lives of ordinary beings on the Sun-Shining Ancient Star as a threat, trying to make Ye Ning restrain himself and not dare to fight him with all his might, so as to gain the upper hand in the battle.
This drew disdain from the crowd, and their gazes toward Chenxi were filled with resentment.
