book of troubled times

Chapter 926: Drunk on the Star River
When Zhao Changhe blocked Luochuan, the three emperors also gathered there.

Emperor Haoyang was covered in wounds. He took a very rare elixir with great pain. His injuries recovered rapidly. He stared at Emperor Ku Mu and asked, "Did you just arrive?"

Emperor Ku Mu said calmly: "The other two are hiding in the dark and dare not act rashly."

Emperor Wuwang stamped his feet and said: "Don't you think too highly of yourself?"

Emperor Ku Mu was stunned: "What do you mean?"

“What else do you mean! The two of you from the other shores sat there watching your own plane being attacked, lying in ambush, just to ambush you? Who do you think you are!” Emperor Haoyang was furious: “If there was an ambush, why didn’t you just kill me when I was in the most critical moment? What trouble can you two cause with just the two of you left?”

Emperor Kurumu opened his mouth and suddenly felt that it made sense.

So the couple was really not there, and they weren't deliberately waiting for me...

Thinking of this, I almost regretted it. If I had used my phone just now, the consequences would have been huge...

No... Emperor Kurumu suddenly shuddered.

What chance could there be? It was only a chance to kill someone, not a chance to seize the treasure. Killing someone did not guarantee that the treasure would be taken away by oneself, and even if the opportunity was in front of him, it was not necessarily a good idea to take action. The crazy revenge of a couple from the other side of the sea was not something that anyone could easily bear.

So it was still right not to attack just now... As long as there was no sneak attack before, even if there was still an enemy to fight later, it could be considered upright and would not offend the enemy too much. No matter what, there was room for maneuver. Now the two idiots were the ones who really offended Zhao Changhe to death. He really had nothing...

Thinking of this, the Dead Wood Emperor no longer felt guilty and said calmly: "That's just your guess, it doesn't count. If they just want to ambush me, I will risk my life to gamble with you two idiots?"

"you!"

"What do you mean by you? Aren't you all idiots? The idiot is you, Haoyang!" Emperor Kurumu turned the tables and pointed at Emperor Haoyang's nose and angrily scolded him, "We agreed to cooperate after we found the person. What do you mean by acting alone? Now that someone has seized the opportunity to defeat us one by one, should you blame me for not taking action or blame yourself for being greedy?"

Emperor Haoyang was speechless.

Emperor Wuwang coughed dryly and tried to smooth things over: "Now we know for sure that the other party is the top force of the entire plane, and they are qualified to be the enemy of our entire star field. So even if it is not for their treasures, we should not have any selfish thoughts for our safety and we should cooperate sincerely. Apart from anything else, you and I have many strong men under our command, and we can call them to help. At least we will not be surrounded and beaten by them. When the time comes, we will have to rely on our own abilities to fight against each other."

Emperor Haoyang nodded.

In the previous battle, he still realized that if he fought alone, he could be stronger than the woman, and he was still confident of winning if he fought again. In fact, the most important thing was that they hardly used magic weapons and focused on their own cultivation, which was still a disadvantage in a duel of equal cultivation.

A high-end magic weapon is enough to change the entire situation of the battle, just like the book itself.

Zhao Changhe and his party have consciously contacted magic weapons other than the Heavenly Book, but they still cannot do it in a short period of time. Immortal cultivators know that it takes years and months to tailor a treasure that suits them. It is similar to Zhao Changhe's Dragon Bird. It took him a long time to polish it. It is not something that can be achieved overnight.

In other words, if the Wanxiang Star Region wants to attack the Heavenly Book World, it should do it as soon as possible, while they still have a chance before they can advance to the next level. If they give it a few more years, they will be doomed.

Emperor Ku Mu said, "That's it. It seems that the two of them are most likely to go to find a place to heal their wounds. You and I will take this opportunity to summon our capable subordinates and break the book before they arrive."

When they wanted to gather their subordinates, it was very easy... Back then, Ye Wuming could easily mobilize people across borders, so they could do it even more like a great summoning spell. After a short while, they saw a flash of light around them, and a large group of people appeared around them.

There have been many conflicts in the three forbidden areas over the years. When they first saw so many people on the other side, they thought a fight was about to start. The scene was filled with magical weapons shining brightly and murderous aura.

The three emperors restrained their subordinates and watched for a while. They all felt that this battle had a great chance of success. Emperor Haoyang glanced at the dead tree and said, "Brother Dao is relatively familiar with them. How about you lead the battle?"

"No need to trouble you." A faint voice came from a distance. The voice was not loud, but it suddenly exploded in the ears like thunder, causing the three people's souls to surge and they were shocked for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao?" Emperor Kurumu suddenly turned his head and saw Zhao Changhe leisurely walking out from the universe.

The book was not in his arms, but was floating around him like a companion star.

The three emperors subconsciously took a half step back. They all realized that Zhao Changhe's power had made a breakthrough. If the previous battle with Luochuan was just a state of entering the other shore, and his hard practice was not as good as any of them, but the power at this time had already made them feel the pressure, at least it was not lower than them.

There was even a faint sense of haziness... Although this person's cultivation was similar to everyone else's at this moment, his realm might have touched the edge of the next level. Everyone who had cultivated to this level was very sensitive to this, and it was probably not an illusion.

how did you do that?
You have to know that everyone had already reached the other side when the battle of the three-point battle of the Wanxiang Star Domain was fought thousands of years ago. For thousands of years, their cultivation has only accumulated at this level, and they have not been able to detect where the door to the next level is. In the entire Wanxiang Star Domain, Luochuan may be the only one who is the most advanced in this regard, but he is only ahead in position, and he has not made everyone feel the gap in level.

But Zhao Changhe gives people this feeling at this moment... Even if he hasn't taken that step yet, at least he has found the way.

What was going on? He was able to do something that others couldn’t do in a million years the next day?
Emperor Ku Mu said cautiously: "Friend Zhao, were you pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to hide your strength?"

"Huh?" Zhao Changhe laughed: "How is it possible..."

"Then what are you..."

Zhao Changhe asked sincerely: "Do you have wives?"

The three great emperors: “?”

Zhao Changhe asked again: "You have lived for so long, you don't still believe in the so-called Supreme Mercilessness? Do you understand dual cultivation?"

Emperor Ku Mu: “…”

Don’t say that we don’t practice this. Even if we know how to practice dual cultivation, we don’t have a Taoist companion on the other side… Do you think that a Taoist companion who has reached the other side, especially one who still has the red pill, is as easy to find as cabbages everywhere? It may be even harder to obtain it than to get the heavenly book.

Oh, it's a thing for you, then it's okay.

Zhao Changhe continued, "Has your wife witnessed the creation of the world with her own eyes, and experienced the destruction of the world with her own hands, and shared all of it in the dual cultivation?"

Dead Tree: "...We don't have wives."

"Oh." Zhao Changhe said, "How do you know I have a wife... If you have a wife, will she use the name of dowry to guide you to explore higher cultivation?"

The three emperors had no expression on their faces.

It can be seen that this person is here to show off.

Zhao Changhe said again: "By the way, you have an enemy who is almost at the edge of the next level, and he is also very weak. Do you want to kill him?"

“……”Everyone has really encountered this kind of enemy during the practice, but if this happens on the other side, it is much more difficult than finding a wife.

The dead tree suddenly reacted: "Luochuan!"

"Yes." Zhao Changhe grinned and suddenly took out the Dragon Bird: "Well, for the sake of our former alliance, I have answered your confusion, brother. Now it's time to find a place to fight."

Before he finished speaking, the person had disappeared. A flash of knife light suddenly broke through the siege and appeared beside... Emperor Wuwang.

None of the parties involved thought about why Zhao Changhe would come to them first. It was obvious that this battle was initiated by Emperor Kurumu and Emperor Haoyang started it first, and he, Emperor Wuwang, was clearly the least noticeable one among them.

But he didn't have time to think about it, and he swung his whisk in an attempt to deflect the knife.

At the same time, the magic weapons of his subordinates all glowed and they rushed towards Zhao Changhe.

Amidst the thousands of troops, Zhao Changhe seemed unaware, and the dragon bird in his hand fluttered. The top-level magic whisk that had accompanied Emperor Wuwang for countless years turned out to be like an ordinary object, the silk thread was cut off by the blade, and it didn't even provide any resistance.

Emperor Wuwang dropped his whisk in shock and dodged: "How is it possible..."

"Emperor!" Countless magic weapons of his subordinates were bombarding Zhao Changhe at this moment. The Heavenly Book was shining with a long light. All the power of the magic weapons was like a drop in the ocean, and was completely absorbed by Ye Wuming who was sitting cross-legged in the Night Palace.

The dragon bird was not disturbed at all, and followed like a shadow, chasing and killing past. Emperor Wuwang's dodgment was like a useless action, and his chest and abdomen were ripped open in an instant.

Ku Mu Hao Yang tried to save her at this moment, but it was too late. They watched helplessly as Emperor Wu Wang was seriously injured by the blow. Zhao Changhe swept the dragon bird across, isolating the two emperors who came to rescue him, and then said coldly: "Dare to attack Chi Chi, if she gets pregnant, you will not be able to compensate her even if you die ten thousand times!"

Emperor Wuwang’s eyes went dark.

No wonder this man was staring at me and biting me like a mad dog. It turned out that the woman was pregnant with his child!

An arm stretched out from the Heavenly Book and quickly grabbed the falling Emperor Wuwang and brought him back into the book. His screams were still echoing in the void, and were abruptly cut off as he entered the book. No one knew what kind of beatings and humiliation he had suffered inside.

The void was shocked for a moment, looking at Zhao Changhe standing still with a knife in his hand.

Among the thousands of troops, three people from the other side penetrated the encirclement and captured the enemy with one blow. This kind of feat is probably something that no one has ever thought of since the birth of the star field. At this moment, Zhao Changhe is like a demon god in the hearts of the cultivators of the Wanxiang Star Field.

Zhao Changhe turned his head indifferently and looked at Emperor Ku Mu: "I have already told Brother Ku Mu before... our enemy is only Luo Chuan. Apart from killing Luo Chuan, we don't want to get involved in anything in your star field. It's a pity that you are blinded by greed and insist on getting involved in the Heavenly Book Galaxy, causing the current situation... Look at the way you have gathered your forces. If I had come back a little later, would you have already invaded?"

Emperor Ku Mu was about to speak, but Zhao Changhe interrupted him directly: "Brother, there is no need to say anything. Once the cause and effect are created, it must be resolved to avoid future troubles. I, Zhao Changhe, have spent my life conquering cities and countries and unifying the three realms, so having more star regions is not a big deal."

Emperor Haoyang said angrily: "Why bother talking to him? His cultivation is only on par with ours. I don't believe that we can't defeat him together!"

"Really?" Zhao Changhe glanced at him with a half-smile, and suddenly raised his knife as if to chop: "You are the first one to sneak attack my wife, right?"

Emperor Haoyang subconsciously floated back. His injuries had not yet healed completely. He hoped that the dead tree could see the overall situation at this moment and help him withstand the most powerful force.

While Ku Mu hesitated for a moment, Zhao Changhe took advantage of the distance between the two men and suddenly appeared behind Emperor Haoyang, raising his sword with both hands and leaping forward to chop and slash angrily.

Since his conquest of the martial arts world, Zhao Changhe has become too accustomed to taking advantage of the enemy's various mentalities, finding coordination flaws, and breaking through the core when surrounded by thousands of troops.

Even if there are endless galaxies and billions of cultivators, there is no essential difference from when you were galloping in the rivers and lakes. If you find the essence, it is just a stage for one person.

Emperor Haoyang suddenly drew his sword and tried to parry.

But when I looked back, I was horrified.

He didn't know if it was because his mind was taken away or because the other party's realm had indeed surpassed him and he couldn't understand it... At this moment, the image of Zhao Changhe in his eyes was extremely huge, and his entire body covered all the stars in the entire star field, as if all the stars were just cells and blood that made up his body, pouring down with the fall of the knife.

I've seen his sword strike like a galaxy, but I've never thought that there's someone with galaxies flowing through his blood.

Ye Wuming knew that this was the result of the thorough fusion of Zhao Changhe's Qi and Blood Dao and her Star Meaning, and he had walked out of his own final path. However, it was not actually completed yet. The image that fell into people's eyes at this moment was similar to the Dharma image they had seen before, but it was just an illusion.

Having such an illusion means that Emperor Haoyang's mind has been taken away and he is no longer his opponent.

"Bang!" The flying sword was cut off by Longque, and the loli with twin ponytails jumped for joy in the sword. This kind of overwhelming battle pleasure could make Longque climax every time.

"Fellow Daoist, stop!" Emperor Kurumu flew to rescue, but it was too late.

Emperor Haoyang and Emperor Wuwang, who used to have all kinds of magical powers and were invincible in the past, had almost the same reaction as ordinary cultivators. They were cut in half by this simple blow of the sword, without even a chance to resist.

Because Zhao Changhe looks like one person, but in fact he is a group. All their wonders of time and space, changes of reality and illusion, reversal of cause and effect, and all the plans they could use were completely wiped out by the heavenly book beside Zhao Changhe, and time and space were imprisoned, and life and death were difficult to navigate.

In front of Zhao Changhe's blade that returned to its original state and seized the fortune of heaven and earth, their magic weapons were useless and their subordinates were only fit to watch.

Emperor Haoyang's body was cut off, and his soul fled at high speed. A black sword suddenly flew out of the heavenly book and rolled over.

Emperor Haoyang's soul didn't even have time to scream before it was crushed to pieces by the sword.

The sword seemed to carry the little girl's scream: "Why did you abandon me, Auntie!"

No one responded, and there was complete silence in the void.

Zhao Changhe pointed his saber at the dead tree and said, "Brother Dao, you are the only one left."

Emperor Ku Mu silently looked at the place where Emperor Hao Yang's soul disappeared, and then turned to look at the stunned monks. Everyone looked stunned and shocked, as if no one dared to believe that the three emperors who suppressed the Wan Xiang Star Region for tens of millions of years were killed by one sword, two swords, and two by two, just like chopping dumplings...

The feeling at that moment just now... the entire star field seemed to be a part of this person, his blood flowed like galaxies, suppressing everything like a master.

The Deadwood Emperor was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "We lost. Brother Dao wants to kill me or chop me up, and I have nothing to say."

"You didn't make a move." Zhao Changhe's tone was much calmer: "No matter what your considerations were, whether you were afraid that we would interfere in the affairs of the star field or you wanted to steal the magic weapon, you didn't make a move on my wife after all, so the friendship between us is not broken."

The Dead Wood Emperor was stunned: "Brother, what do you mean, you won't kill me?"

Zhao Changhe said: "I know there is a mark of submission. If you offer me a trace of your soul, this matter will be over... Well, it can be considered as conquering this area? Maybe it can help my Piaomiao to make a breakthrough."

Emperor Ku Mu didn't care how his Piao Miao broke through. He was afraid that Zhao Changhe would regret it, so he offered his soul mark without saying a word: "Are you... not afraid of endless troubles?"

"No worries, because I've said before that I have no interest in the Star Domain... You don't even know where I will be in the future, so why worry?" Zhao Changhe sheathed his sword, took out the wine gourd from his waist, raised his head and took a sip, then turned and left: "This is the universe of all worlds, the universe is infinite, and the Star Domain of All Things is just a corner. Whoever wants to be trapped here is petty."

As the voice sounded, the people were already countless light years away.

The withered tree emperor stared blankly, and his last words came from the void: "Now the cause and effect have disappeared, all the grievances have been removed, and there is no more obsession in my heart. From now on, I will travel with my wife and sleep drunkenly in the starry sky. This is my wish."
