Chapter 2104: Li Xuantu Versus Genesis Supreme!

The situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed. With three divine embryos behind Wang Chong, even Genesis Supreme turned grave.

For a person at Genesis Supreme’s level, one Wang Chong was insignificant and could be easily slain. But four Wang Chongs, their bodies linked and capable of transferring energy between each other, was something that even Genesis Supreme had to take seriously.

Not only that, when he saw those three black-robed figures, his eyes twitched. He had a vague inkling about something, but he wasn’t quite sure in the time available to him.

But Genesis Supreme quickly got ahold of himself.

This operation had been delayed long enough. He needed to get that item as quickly as possible.

“King of Foreign Lands, it seems I was wrong. This Emperor of the Great Tang is who you’re most concerned about. But that makes things even easier.”

Genesis Supreme chuckled, his eyes turning to Li Heng, who was in the grasp of Li Xuantu.

Li Taiyi was dead, and the item he had left behind could only have been left to two people. It was either Wang Chong or Li Heng.

It didn’t appear that Wang Chong had it, based on how he was acting, so only Li Heng was left.

“Your Highness Crown Prince, it seems that it was right to cooperate with you. But you can leave what comes next to this god,” Genesis Supreme said to Li Xuantu.

If Li Xuantu had not been so sharp, Wang Chong really might have succeeded, and that Earth Movement ability of his was very troublesome. Genesis Supreme could still deal with him, but it would take some effort.

Genesis Supreme felt that getting Li Xuantu to help him break the formation had been the wisest decision he had ever made.

“Hand Li Heng over to me!”

As Genesis Supreme spoke, he flicked a finger. Space trembled as a white-gold Halo of Spacetime appeared at Li Heng’s feet. The halo exerted an enormous pull and began to pull Li Heng inside.

At Genesis Supreme’s level of cultivation, one could control spacetime. It was possible to capture someone without even taking a step, a feat accomplished with a single thought.

Li Heng was Li Taiyi’s appointed successor, and Genesis Supreme was sure that Li Taiyi had left some important objects to him before his death. That key was of utmost importance, and he had to obtain it no matter what.

“Stop!”

Wang Chong was alarmed by what he was witnessing.

Li Heng was the new Emperor of the Great Tang, and nothing could be allowed to happen to him. Once he fell into Genesis Supreme’s hands, a mishap might lead the empire to break apart.

Whoosh!

Wang Chong shot forward, ignoring everything else and making his way toward Li Heng.

But at this moment, just when everyone thought Li Heng would fall into Genesis Supreme’s hands...

“Withdraw!”

Li Xuantu, who had been playing the spectator this entire time, raised his hand, pulling Li Heng away from Genesis Supreme’s Halo of Spacetime and preventing him from being taken.

“Li Xuantu, what are you doing?”

Genesis Supreme scowled, and the Tianfu Divine Lord behind him was shaken.

They were allies with Li Xuantu. What did he intend with this abrupt action?

“Li Xuantu, don’t forget who saved you!” the Tianfu Divine Lord harshly rebuked.

Li Xuantu’s eyes were cold as he looked around and coldly said, “Of course this prince remembers, but don’t forget that this prince only has a transactional relationship with you. You released me, so I destroyed the formation around the capital. Since this prince has fulfilled his promise, the relationship ends there.”

“！！！”

“!!!”

Everyone was struck dumb by Li Xuantu’s words, even the escapees like Huang Xiaotian.

There was no doubting the strength of the men in black. If Li Xuantu worked with them, it was completely possible to enthrone a new Emperor.

But this development was completely unexpected.

“This is bad. What is His Highness Crown Prince thinking?”

In the crowd, Huang Xiaotian felt an ill foreboding, and he turned his head to question that figure wearing the official’s hat. But when he turned his head, he saw that the man was no longer there.

Of course, Huang Xiaotian was far from the only one to have noticed the shift in relationship between Li Xuantu and Genesis Supreme. Wang Chong came to a sudden stop.

He could tell that there had been a subtle shift in the situation, and it seemed as if things were developing in a direction he had never imagined.

“Li Xuantu, are you making an enemy of this god?!”

Genesis Supreme was both shocked and angered. He had never imagined that the Li Xuantu he had gone through so much trouble to release would come back and bite him.

“Don’t think that this prince doesn’t know! You people have been opposing Li Taiyi this whole time, even controlling other countries from the shadows. Since this prince is out now, he naturally cannot permit you to control the Great Tang!

“Also, this brat is still useful and cannot be given to you. Besides...”

Li Xuantu paused a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice had gone much colder.

“This prince has no interest in being anyone’s puppet! Beneath the heavens and above the earth, there exists no one who can order around this prince!”

“You!”

Genesis Supreme’s shock and anger increased. Li Xuantu was really opposing them!

They’ve fallen out?!

Wang Chong was astonished, but quickly, his eyes gleamed.

The proud Li Xuantu fighting with Genesis Supreme first was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

Wang Chong was in an extremely passive situation and was still thinking about how he could save Li Heng from Li Xuantu. But with this development, Wang Chong could relax for a moment.

Both Li Xuantu and Genesis Supreme wanted Li Heng, so at least for now, Li Heng’s life was not in danger.

“Very good, Li Xuantu!”

Genesis Supreme began to laugh from his extreme anger.

“I thought that we could settle things in a civilized manner, but since you’ve done this, I see no reason to continue being polite. Li Xuantu, whether you hand him over or not, this god will have Li Heng. As for you, Wang Chong, once this god captures you, I’ll know for sure whether you speak truly or falsely once I interrogate you, and I will find out where that object is.”

Genesis Supreme’s entire body radiated cold killing intent. His robes rustled as waves of energy erupted from his body.

Genesis Supreme had truly been enraged by Wang Chong and Li Xuantu.

Wang Chong was currently secondary, as Genesis Supreme had never imagined that Li Xuantu would turn on him so quickly. But the strong eating the weak had always been the guiding principle of the men in black, and Genesis Supreme had never thought about winning the day through his words.

Seeing Genesis Supreme reveal his killing intent, Wang Chong raised an arm and immediately called out, “Watch out! All Imperial Army soldiers, withdraw!”

Whoosh!

The dense ranks of the Imperial Army immediately began to recede like a tide.

With the Three Emperors Formation broken, almost all the formations in the Imperial Palace had lost effectiveness.

And people of Genesis Supreme’s and Li Xuantu’s power could sunder the earth with their might, and cause massive losses in the Imperial Army with a single attack—losses that were completely unnecessary.

“Retreat!”

Fumeng Lingcha and the others also sensed danger and called for a retreat.

The imperial prison escapees were in the most awkward situation. Advancing was difficult, and at their backs were the dense ranks of the Imperial Army.

What left Fumeng Lingcha and the others most confused was that they had come to support Li Xuantu onto the throne, but Li Xuantu always went off on his own, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

In front of Taiji Palace, Li Xuantu cared nothing about Fumeng Lingcha’s group.

He didn’t even bother glancing at the imperial prison escapees.

“Genesis Supreme, this prince has no intention of fighting with your group, but I advise you to not provoke this prince. In this world, no one can order me around. Li Taiyi could not, and you certainly cannot either!” Li Xuantu coldly said.

Genesis Supreme sneered. Did Li Xuantu really think that some words from him could resolve everything?

He had never intended to let these people go.

It was fine if Li Xuantu handed Li Heng over, and if he didn’t... then he would just move up his plans and take care of them all in one fell swoop, paving the way for An Yaluoshan. He could also purge the Central Plains early, allowing the ‘Purification’ plan to proceed much faster.

Li Xuantu thought that he could sit on the same level as him? Too naive.

Without the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain stopping him, no one in the capital could oppose him.

“Not knowing your own strength!”

Genesis Supreme’s reply to Li Xuantu’s words was terse, and a moment later, he struck.

Bang!

The inner court of the Imperial Palace shuddered as heavy shockwaves of energy swept out from Genesis Supreme’s position.

But surprisingly, Genesis Supreme’s first attack was not aimed at Li Xuantu, but Wang Chong.

Buzz!

Behind Wang Chong, three white-gold Halos of Spacetime appeared, right beneath the feet of the three divine embryos, and swiftly contracted. At the same time, a giant white-gold bell appeared above the three divine embryos.

The giant bell’s surface was covered in mysterious symbols: the sun and moon, birds and beasts, mountains and rivers, insects and fish, symbols that represented the laws of the world. Besides that, there were also carvings of many formations. The moment this bell appeared, it began to descend on the three divine embryos.

Genesis Supreme had a penetrating insight. Li Xuantu had been able to tell at a glance that Wang Chong’s clones were three divine embryos, so how could Genesis Supreme not recognize such precious treasures? If he managed to get them, then with his Grotto Heaven realm cultivation, he could advance them to the Grotto Heaven realm even faster than Wang Chong.

And if he captured the three divine embryos, Wang Chong’s fighting power would plunge, and he would lose any hope of contending against Genesis Supreme.
