Chapter 657: Yellow Dragon God Lord’s Self-Detonation, Wu Hao Takes Decisive Action

This battle lasted an extremely long time, with Wu Li and the Myriad Serpent God Emperor fighting tirelessly, yet the scales of victory were visibly tipping toward Wu Li.

After all, growing stronger with each fight is the standard trait of a Destined Child. If others could also grow stronger through battle, there wouldn't be Cultivators who remain trapped in a single Realm their entire lives.

As for the other side, Wu Qilong and Yellow Dragon God Lord, Yellow Dragon God Lord's defeat was already inevitable. Seizing an opportunity, Wu Qilong swung a claw, instantly severing one of Yellow Dragon God Lord's claws.

Yellow Dragon God Lord's aura weakened drastically in that instant, and he was then sent flying by a tail strike from Wu Qilong.

Like a chain reaction, the flung Yellow Dragon God Lord could no longer stabilize his Realm, plummeting from his previous state of burning everything to break through to near-God Emperor, all the way down to God Paragon Late Stage—a staggering fall.

Looking down at the utterly disheveled Yellow Dragon God Lord, Wu Qilong gazed at him with an arrogant attitude and said, "You have lost."

"Hahaha, the Dragon God Bloodline is indeed powerful, to actually defeat me."

Yellow Dragon God Lord couldn't help but laugh out loud, though his laughter was filled with boundless sorrow. He had Cultivated for so long, schemed for so long for the Dragon God Bloodline, yet never expected to be defeated by Wu Qilong.

And Wu Qilong's Cultivation time wasn't even a fraction of his own.

After speaking, Wu Qilong intended to personally execute Yellow Dragon God Lord. He naturally knew not to waste words, lest unexpected changes occur.

But the next second, Yellow Dragon God Lord couldn't help but roar, "Though I have lost, I have not been defeated!"

With that, an incredibly terrifying power erupted from within Yellow Dragon God Lord. Sensing this power, the expressions of the great beings present changed instantly.

"What? He's going to self-detonate!"

"Not good, retreat quickly! Don't get caught in the blast!"

"Go!"

Instantly, countless Divine Venerables fled in terror toward the distance. The power of a Divine Venerable's self-detonation is no small matter; a God-Lord Peak self-detonation could potentially take down a God Emperor Early Stage if they're not careful, let alone beings of the same Realm.

Wu Qilong's expression also turned extremely grim, and he couldn't help but curse Yellow Dragon God Lord inwardly as a beast, never expecting him to be such a sore loser—self-detonating just because he couldn't win.

At this distance, combined with Yellow Dragon God Lord's decisiveness in self-detonating, even he might find it difficult to escape and would likely be caught in the blast.

But just as Yellow Dragon God Lord was about to self-detonate, a terrifying force swept over him, instantly annihilating him. The speed was so fast that even the God Emperors hiding in the shadows to observe the battle didn't react in time.

Moreover, even though that force had acted to annihilate Yellow Dragon God Lord, they couldn't identify which God Emperor had made the move!

"Who was it? Such terrifying power! Even if I were to act, I couldn't achieve this level!"

A God Emperor Middle Stage great being spoke with an extremely grave expression.

As his words fell, the surrounding God Emperors fell silent. Only a God-Emperor Peak existence, or perhaps that lord, could evade their detection.

Thinking of that lord, their expressions instantly became wary. That lord always acted on a whim; if nothing attracted him, he would never take action.

In other words, had that lord set his sights here?

Thinking this, the God Emperors present shifted their focus away from Wu Qilong. After all, competing with that lord for something would be akin to rushing to one's death.

At this moment, the Myriad Serpent God Emperor also sensed this power, his expression showing extreme wariness. He swung his spear to force Wu Li back and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are powerful. I am no match for you. How about we end this here? I am willing to apologize and make amends!"

"Oh, yielding? If you had yielded from the start, it might have worked. But now, die!"

Wu Li had already been roused to fury; how could he possibly let it go?

But the Myriad Serpent God Emperor was determined to leave, and even Wu Li couldn't stop him. Soon, Wu Li could only watch helplessly as the Myriad Serpent God Emperor fled.

"No, my strength is still too weak. I must restore to the God Emperor Realm as soon as possible."

Wu Li thought to himself. If he restored to the God Emperor Realm, facing the Myriad Serpent God Emperor again, he would likely need only three moves to send him down the Yellow Springs road.

After all, even though both were at God Emperor Early Stage, the Daos they Cultivated differed. It's impossible for a Cultivator of a Low Grade Dao to defeat one of a High Grade Dao.

But what Wu Li didn't expect was that the moment after the Myriad Serpent God Emperor escaped, Wu Hao no longer hid, emerging from the shadows and unleashing a terrifying finger strike with a flick.

Sensing the power of this finger strike, everyone present couldn't help but look at Wu Hao, their eyes filled with shock.

Although they had anticipated Wu Hao was in the shadows, seeing him appear in reality still left them awed by his might.

The fleeing Myriad Serpent God Emperor sensed the power of this finger strike and couldn't help but look back, just in time to see that it was Wu Hao who had struck. Instantly, he knew he was doomed.

But he still couldn't help but say, "Sect Master Wu, what grudge do I have with you? Why must you kill me?"

"No grudge? No, we became enemies the moment you attacked my grandson."

Wu Hao said expressionlessly. Then, with a look of shock on his face, the Myriad Serpent God Emperor was annihilated by Wu Hao's finger strike.

After annihilating the Myriad Serpent God Emperor, Wu Hao looked toward the seemingly empty West Sky and said, "Stop hiding, all of you. Come out."

As Wu Hao's words fell, the next second, several figures emerged from the Void Realm of the Divine Realm. Without exception, they were all God Emperor Realm existences, numbering even in the hundreds. Most were at God Emperor Early Stage, with only a few at God Emperor Middle Stage. As for God-Emperor Late Stage, not a single one was present.

Looking at Wu Hao, those God Emperors showed expressions of fear, worried that Wu Hao might annihilate them all in a fit of anger. After witnessing Wu Hao's immense power, none believed that everyone present combined could be a match for him.

Although they hadn't attacked Wu Li or Wu Qilong, they had more or less harbored such thoughts, so they feared Wu Hao might punish them for this reason.

But the next second, Wu Hao looked at them expressionlessly and said, "Don't overthink it. I won't attack you. If I wanted to, I wouldn't have let you emerge."

With Wu Hao's strength, a simple swing of his sword would be enough to annihilate all 352 God Emperors present.

Hearing Wu Hao's extremely arrogant statement, the God Emperors present had no thoughts of refutation, for what Wu Hao said was the truth.

Yet they grew curious again: for what reason had Wu Hao called them out?
