Chapter 781: Wu Hao vs. Lord of Forbidden

Looking at Wu Hao before him, the Lord of Forbidden's expression was extremely unsightly.

He hadn't expected Wu Hao to truly return to the Heavenly Emperor Realm in such a short time. Although it was only the Small Heavenly Emperor Realm, it still made the Lord of Forbidden wary. If he didn't kill Wu Hao, it would surely affect his future grand plans.

"Myriad Paths, you fellow, you've really made me quite angry. Since that's the case, let me see just how powerful your strength really is!"

The Lord of Forbidden looked at Wu Hao and shouted in anger.

However, Wu Hao's expression remained calm, not taking the Lord of Forbidden seriously at all. Wu Hao reached out his hand, and in the next second, a Heavenly Emperor Bell slowly emerged from his palm as a thought crossed his mind.

In an instant, the Heavenly Emperor Bells that Wu Hao had previously sent out all flew toward him uncontrollably, merging directly into the Heavenly Emperor Bell in his hand to form the true Heavenly Emperor Bell via Fusion.

The Heavenly Emperor Bells Wu Hao had sent out previously were split from the true Heavenly Emperor Bell, containing less than one-millionth of its power. This was why the Lord of Forbidden had been able to shatter them so easily.

"forbidden, let us decide the victor here today."

Wu Hao's expression was indifferent. As soon as he finished speaking, he struck first, arriving before the Lord of Forbidden in an instant. The Heavenly Emperor Bell in his hand transformed into the shape of a Long Spear, and with a single thrust, he pierced through the Lord of Forbidden.

But the Lord of Forbidden was a Great Heavenly Emperor after all, so he naturally wouldn't be killed so easily.

"What!"

The Lord of Forbidden reacted and retreated violently. The place where Wu Hao had pierced him began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the original wound vanished almost instantly.

At this moment, the Lord of Forbidden's wariness of Wu Hao reached its peak. He hadn't expected Wu Hao to be so powerful. Although he was still a Great Heavenly Emperor, his strength had increased by more than a level compared to before his last great battle with Wu Hao.

Without time for further thought, the Lord of Forbidden sent out a thought, instantly pulling Wu Hao into his Domain. Only within his own Domain could he unleash his full power.

Meanwhile, within the Forbidden Realm, as the Lord of Forbidden went to battle Wu Hao, the powerhouses within the Forbidden Realm looked toward the outside in shock.

Inside Gu Yuan Academy, Dean Gu Yuan's expression was incredibly grave as he looked toward the direction outside the Forbidden Realm. He didn't know who dared to provoke the Realm Lord, but he knew that anyone who dared to do so must be powerful—at least, not someone they could afford to provoke.

With that thought, Dean Gu Yuan took a step and rushed outside. No matter how bad the Lord of Forbidden was, he was still the Realm Lord of their Forbidden Realm. If he fell and a new Realm Lord replaced him, the situation might be far worse than it was now. Therefore, if possible, he still hoped the Lord of Forbidden would win.

On the other side, the leaders of various major forces, such as the Ten Thousand Souls Valley, all had extremely grave expressions. After much deliberation, they finally decided to head outside the realm to support the Realm Lord.

To use Dean Gu Yuan's words, no matter how bad the Lord of Forbidden was, he was still their Realm Lord. Moreover, under his management, no problems had arisen in the Forbidden Realm, and that was enough.

However, the Sky Forbidden Clan at the northern end of the Forbidden Realm clearly didn't think so.

Within the Sky Forbidden Clan, Young Clan Chief Ye Kai was momentarily stunned upon hearing the voice, but he soon realized that only the Myriad Paths Heavenly Emperor would call out so brazenly.

Thinking of this, Ye Kai rushed to his grandfather without hesitation and said, "Grandfather, you heard it too, right? It's likely the Lord of the Divine Realm has come to take action against the Lord of Forbidden. What we should do most right now is go and support the Lord of the Divine Realm."

"If we wait until after the Lord of the Divine Realm has dealt with the Lord of Forbidden before we go, I fear we will be targeted by him."

Ye Kasha, the Clan Chief of the Sky Forbidden Clan, sighed, but his gaze soon became incredibly sharp. He stood up and declared, "Sky Forbidden Clan, assemble!"

As Ye Kasha's words fell, the experts of the Sky Forbidden Clan rushed out in an instant, gathering before him.

They appeared enthusiastic; clearly, they all knew they were going to help the Divine Realm deal with the Realm Lord. After all, under the Realm Lord's biased treatment, they had long since become completely disillusioned and wished for his downfall.

Not to mention, the people of the Divine Realm had promised them that once the Realm Lord was dealt with, the Sky Forbidden Clan would be allowed to manage the Forbidden Realm. Why wouldn't they do it?

"We are now going to support the Lord of the Divine Realm and prevent other powerhouses in the Forbidden Realm from interfering in the battle between him and the Lord of Forbidden. If any of you wish to withdraw now, this Clan Chief will absolutely not force you."

Ye Kasha was a good Clan Chief. If a clansman was unwilling to go with him, he wouldn't force them, though he wouldn't allow them to return to the clan again.

Following Ye Kasha's words, the Sky Forbidden Clan experts present shouted one after another, "Clan Chief, we are all members of the Sky Forbidden Clan. As long as you give the order, we will follow your command!"

Hearing his clansmen's unhesitating response, Ye Kasha couldn't help but feel satisfied. Then, he spoke with extreme solemnity, "Since the Realm Lord is heartless, then do not blame us for being unjust. Clansmen, hear my command: follow this Clan Chief outside the realm to support the Lord of the Divine Realm!"

"Yes!"

Similar scenes played out all over the Forbidden Realm. Countless powerhouses, upon learning that the Realm Lord was fighting an enemy, intended to head out and support him. Although they might not be able to help much, they could at least make their faces known to him; after all, not just anyone could see the Realm Lord.

And Chu Xue was one of them.

However, upon learning that Chu Xue wanted to support the Realm Lord, Wu Zhene's expression became extremely complex, and he stopped her.

Chu Xue was somewhat puzzled by Wu Zhene's actions and asked, "Zhene, what are you doing? If the two of us go to help the Realm Lord, we might gain his favor and thus break through to the Eighteen-level."

Hearing this, Wu Zhene shook his head, his expression becoming serious. He looked at Chu Xue and said, "My lady, I want to tell you something very important, and I hope you can prepare yourself mentally."

It was the first time Chu Xue had seen such a serious expression on Wu Zhene, and her heart immediately tightened. Still, she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Husband, just say it. I can handle it."

Hearing Chu Xue's words, Wu Zhene finally spoke slowly, "Actually, I am not from the Forbidden Realm. I am… a deity from the Divine Realm."
