Chapter 898 47-48: Void Battlefield (Double-Length)
Bang——
A God Realm expert detonated themselves fiercely.
Faced with that destructive power, Zhongshan Kongzhou chose to retreat.
There was no other choice.
A formidable self-detonation from a Middle Stage God Realm expert, even though he was Post-stage God Realm, required him to avoid the edge.
It can be said.
Self-detonation is a cross-rank challenging method that all cultivators can master.
But whether one can truly take the enemy down with them is not certain.
On the other side.
Zhongshan Xia, after a prolonged period, finally recovered some strength and turned his gaze to another battlefield.
There.
Two Seventh Grade Dao Arms were still engaged in a relentless battle.
The Kuiniu Phantom and the Candle Shadow Phantom, transformed by the Emperor Fall Bell, each maneuvered their body in an assault.
The bell's sound stagnated space-time.
Thunder destroyed everything.
A moment later.
Zhongshan Xia swung his sword, unmatched Sword Qi forcefully breaking into the battlefield, the terrifying power striking the Kui Drum, causing the Kuiniu Clan's Clan Soldier to shake violently.
However.
The Kui Drum was ultimately a Seventh Grade Dao Arm.
Such an attack may disrupt its power, but it couldn't truly threaten such a Divine Weapon.
While the Kui Drum was attacked and distracted.
The Emperor Fall Bell seized the opportunity, the bell vibrating violently, transforming its heavy sound into countless long swords, which fell densely on the opponent.
Bang——
The Kui Drum trembled.
If Zhongshan Xia's attack wasn't enough to threaten this Seventh Grade Dao Arm, then the Emperor Fall Bell's attack couldn't be entirely ignored.
"Kui Drum, you have lost!"
The voice of Canglong came from the Candle Shadow Phantom in the void.
Upon hearing this.
The Kuiniu Phantom dissipated, the Kui Drum's surface vibrated, the sound full of unwillingness.
"Emperor Fall, were it not for external aid, who would win or lose is still uncertain!"
He was unwilling.
Both were Seventh Grade Dao Arms, yet he was inferior to the Emperor Fall Bell.
If the opponent suppressed him by strength, it would be fine, but borrowing external aid made it hard to swallow.
Upon hearing this.
The Emperor Fall Bell sneered, "I have external aid, you can equally borrow external aid, yet your Kuiniu Clan lacks the power. Now, the current Kui Emperor has perished, the defeat of your Kuiniu Clan is certain.
No matter how you struggle, it is futile."
"Although the Kui Emperor has fallen, even if I have only the strength for one fight, I will never allow your Zhongshan Clan to trample on my Kuiniu Clan!"
The Kui Drum trembled, a strong aura rising again, as if intending to battle the Emperor Fall Bell to the death once more.
Seeing this.
Zhongshan Xia pointed his sword at the void, his calm gaze fixed on the large drum.
"Today my Zhongshan Clan acts against the Kuiniu Clan entirely because the Kuiniu Clan belongs to the Dushan Clan's camp. Our feud with the Dushan Clan has deep roots, and it's now time for settlement.
However, total annihilation of a clan is not the wish of my Zhongshan Clan.
Now that the Kui Emperor has fallen, if Your Excellency is willing to lead the Kuiniu Clan in allegiance to my Zhongshan Clan, then my Zhongshan Clan will cease actions and offer a path of survival."
Silence.
Deathly silence.
The Kui Drum did not speak, as if it had heard nothing.
To this.
Zhongshan Xia was unconcerned and continued, "Your Excellency is the Clan Soldier of the Kuiniu Clan, witnessing the growth of the Kuiniu Clan. Surely you wouldn't want to see the race you guard perish.
Moreover, even if not considering for yourself, you must consider for other beings of the Kuiniu Clan.
Ask them if they are truly willing to die in this battle?"
At this moment.
The disciples of the Candle Sect continued battling against the Kuiniu Clan.
Every moment, beings of the Kuiniu Clan were slaughtered, and disciples of the Candle Sect fell.
Seeing the silent Kui Drum.
Zhongshan Xia narrowed his eyes, his sword seeming to emit a cold mist.
"I give you three breaths to consider. After three breaths, if you do not decide, the Kuiniu Clan will certainly be annihilated today!"
One breath!
Two breaths!
With three breaths nearly past, a chilling intent emanated from Zhongshan Xia.
Ultimately.
A heavy voice from the Kui Drum sounded: "My Kuiniu Clan can submit to the Zhongshan Clan."
"Not submission, but allegiance!"
Zhongshan Xia corrected.
"My Zhongshan Clan requires not only faith from the Kuiniu Clan but allegiance from the entire Kuiniu Clan; otherwise today the Kuiniu Clan can betray the Dushan Clan, another day they may betray my Zhongshan Clan.
In any case, our clan will not allow such a hidden peril to remain.
Therefore, today the Kuiniu Clan has only two choices: one, proclaim allegiance to Heaven and Earth; two, face extinction."
Allegiance!
The Kui Drum trembled slightly, clearly containing immense fury.
However.
The fury did not last long, dissipating suddenly.
If it were the former Kuiniu Clan, then even if the race faced extinction, allegiance to any clan would be impossible.
But——
The Kuiniu Clan was now a thing of the past.
Once the Kuiniu Clan bent its backbone by submitting to the Dushan Clan for survival.
Now with allegiance to the Zhongshan Clan, the backbone was completely broken.
However.
The Kui Drum understood it had no choice.
The Kuiniu Clan was no longer as it once was.
If allegiance was not chosen today, the Kuiniu Clan would face certain extinction.
For the sake of preserving legacy, how many prices had the Kuiniu Clan's generations of powerhouses paid, and if they were to face immediate extinction, millennia of toil would have been in vain.
Upon realizing this.
The spirit in the Kui Drum vented suddenly, the Seventh Grade Dao Arm seeming to enter twilight.
The drum's surface vibrated, resonating throughout Heaven and Earth.
In the Heaven and Earth, all living beings of the Kuiniu Clan instinctively looked toward the direction of the drum sound.
They understood.
