Chapter 14: Meeting in the Divine Realm

The other four leaders at the Divine General level in the Tianfeng Pirate Gang were Cangyan, Luokui, Chuchen, and Lingyubo. Like Zhu Chen, each of these four leaders had one million spiritual entities within their bodies. After all, over the course of one million years, they had also practiced the “Refining Essence into Body Technique,” enhancing their bodies to their maximum strength at the Divine Weapon level, thereby expanding the number of spiritual entities in their bodies to one million. Thus, when they refined their soul orbs and reached the Divine General level, each of them had one million spiritual entities gathered within them.

On the side of the Tianfeng Pirate Gang, there were these four leaders at the Divine General level.

As for the six members from the other pirate gangs who rushed over, not a single one of them was at the Divine General level—missing the most crucial figures. There was a two-level difference between the Divine General level and the Divine Being level.

“Mountains rise from the earth!”
Cangyan shouted loudly, then swung his divine sword. As the six members from the other pirate gangs approached, the ground suddenly rose, as if hundreds of mountains were emerging from the earth.

“Waves arise without wind!”
Luokui didn’t delay either. As he shouted, he used a divine artifact in the shape of a branch to create violent winds and waves along the path of the six members. These waves, formed from spiritual entities, resembled ordinary storms, but when they hit the cultivators, they transformed into fierce wind gusts.

“Water of the desert!”
Chuchen, dressed elegantly, clasped his hands together. His divine essence summoned one million spiritual entities of wood, water, and earth, instantly forming a desert on the ground where the six members were approaching. The desert was soft, yet a pool of icy water emerged from the sand.

“Fairy’s Crossing Water!”
Lingyubo uttered a cold shout as her lips moved. Holding a divine artifact shaped like a porcelain bottle, she directed its mouth at the six members. With the power of her divine essence, the spiritual entities emitted from the bottle formed golden waves, within which golden blades kept slicing through the air.

The spells cast by the four leaders at the Divine General level were all large-scale attacks that covered most of the six members from the other pirate gangs.

“Ah…”
“It’s too cruel! Why is our leader still in the air?”
“Damn it! We’ve been betrayed! If our leader doesn’t come down, how can we defend ourselves?”
“I’ll never be a pirate again in my next life.”
“Once you become a pirate, your life is ruined. I really regret it now…”

The members of the Jinxuan Island Pirate Gang, Feihong Island Pirate Gang, Jiukong Island Pirate Gang, Wolong Island Pirate Gang, Hongshi Island Pirate Gang, and Shisun Island Pirate Gang put up a symbolic resistance under the attacks of the four Divine General-level warriors. They were either crushed by mountains or killed by winds, their bodies disappearing swiftly. Naturally, in their moments of peril, these pirates let out angry shouts. With one wave of attacks, all 5,000 members of the six pirate gangs were killed. The remaining 1,000 members were also terrified by the strength of Cangyan, Luokui, Chu Chen, and Ling Yubo, and immediately retreated to their flying divine ships, trying to control them and fly away. “Still trying to escape? How interesting,” said Cangyan, Luokui, Chu Chen, and Ling Yubo, all laughing. Suddenly, the four launched another attack, capsizing over fifty flying divine ships and throwing the fleeing pirates out of them. “Brothers of the Tianfeng Pirate Gang, go eliminate these pirates while we go help the leader,” shouted Cangyan, Luokui, Chu Chen, and Ling Yubo, expressing the same intention. Immediately afterward, the four flew into the air to assist Zhu Chen in fighting Chang Xin. “Kill them!” “Chop these pirates to pieces!” “Don’t fight over me—this time I’ll kill a hundred pirates by myself!” The members of the Tianfeng Pirate Gang, seeing that the members of the six other pirate gangs had been injured by the spells of the four leaders upon landing and were no longer formidable, showed their bloodthirsty nature. Screams of battle filled the air as they rushed at the members of the six pirate gangs. It was pure slaughter. The members of the Tianfeng Pirate Gang approached the members of the six other pirate gangs and attacked them mercilessly with their greatest strength, killing them one by one. By this point, the members of the six pirate gangs who had come to eliminate the Tianfeng Pirate Gang were instead killed by them. ※※※ In the air, those Divine General-level warriors continued to fight fiercely. Cangyan, Luokui, Chu Chen, and Ling Yubo flew up and immediately helped Zhu Chen, joining forces against him. However, the five of them still couldn’t suppress Zhu Chen; instead, it was Chang Xin who kept holding them back. Yet, Chang Xin’s consciousness was fixed on another battle in the air, and he didn’t intend to kill Zhu Chen, Cangyan, Luokui, Chu Chen, and Ling Yubo. So he only restrained their attacks without going all out. On the other side, Qingwugui and the twenty-three leaders of the six pirate gangs were also fighting fiercely.

“This guy is too powerful!”
The twenty-three regiment commanders fighting against Qing Wu Gui grew more and more panicked the longer they fought him. Especially Yue Donglin—after being sent flying by a single strike from Qing Wu Gui, he realized just how strong he was. When he rejoined the other twenty-two commanders to fight Qing Wu Gui together, Yue Donglin even felt that Qing Wu Gui wasn’t showing his full strength in fighting him, as if it were just a game.
Indeed, Qing Wu Gui’s current battles against these twenty-three Divine General-level warriors were part of his cultivation of his killing art. How could he possibly kill all of them?
“There are many forms of fierce fire. Of these twenty-three, only ten have grasped the laws of fire, and their spells contain merely hundreds of such laws.”
During the battle, Qing Wu Gui expanded his consciousness to sense the spells cast by these twenty-three, identifying only the laws of fire.
After successfully eliminating the laws of metal, wood, and water, his current cultivation focused on attempting to destroy the laws of fire. Thus, in this battle, he was sensing the laws of fire among them.
“Guys, if we keep fighting like this, we won’t be able to kill this freak. Let’s go all out—detonate our divine weapons! I doubt he can dodge them.” After a long struggle, Yue Donglin finally saw reason and immediately communicated with the others through his consciousness.
The other twenty-two Divine General-level regiment commanders received Yue Donglin’s message, hesitated for a moment, then all agreed.
They understood the situation: if they didn’t kill Qing Wu Gui outright, his speed would put them in great danger. So, sacrificing one divine weapon to save their own lives seemed a worthwhile trade.
It seemed Qing Wu Gui knew what they were thinking.
“You want to fight to the death with me, right?” Qing Wu Gui suddenly said, his expression firm.
No one understood killing intent better than him. Earlier, he had sensed a change in Yue Donglin’s aura and immediately realized they were plotting something behind his back.
The twenty-three were shocked.
Suddenly, Qing Wu Gui’s body flashed, breaking free from their encirclement and arriving beside Yue Donglin. With his sword like lightning, he swung once, severing Yue Donglin’s head.
At the same time, an endless surge of killing intent erupted from Qing Wu Gui’s body, literally shattering Yue Donglin’s soul space.

After the recent battle, Qing Wu Gui had already sensed the spells of these twenty-three people and gained some understanding of the laws of fire. Knowing that these twenty-three were determined to fight to the death, Qing Wu Gui didn’t want to waste time battling them, so he immediately unleashed his true power and struck to kill them all.
“Yue Donglin…”
The twenty-two others were filled with shock, deeply shaken inside.
After killing Yue Donglin, Qing Wu Gui didn’t hesitate at all. He rushed to another commander at the Divine General level, swung his sword again, severing another head. With murderous intent, he shattered the soul space of that commander as well.
“Explode!”
Seeing Qing Wu Gui easily kill two people, the remaining twenty-one reacted immediately. In their excitement, they threw out their divine artifacts.
Twenty-one divine artifacts flew toward Qing Wu Gui at once and exploded.
Qing Wu Gui plummeted downward, falling into the seabed below.
In the air, only twenty-one brilliant, intense light balls appeared, generating fierce energy flows, but they failed to kill Qing Wu Gui.
“What? That man escaped.” The twenty-one commanders, realizing Qing Wu Gui wasn’t dead, showed anxious expressions.
If Qing Wu Gui survived, they were in danger.
At that moment, Qing Wu Gui indeed flew up from the sea surface, back into the air, his face twisted in cold laughter.
“Give me your lives.” Radiating killing intent, he locked his gaze on the twenty-one of them.
Flee!
There was no other choice but to flee!
At this point, these twenty-one Divine General level commanders had no hesitation left—only the thought of escaping. Since they hadn’t managed to surround and kill Qing Wu Gui, now without their divine artifacts and two fewer members, they didn’t dare stay.
They scattered in all directions!
Qing Wu Gui narrowed his eyes and immediately chose a direction, charging forward and killing the four commanders trying to escape in that direction mid-air.
The remaining seventeen managed to escape.
Chang Xin saw that the other commanders had left and immediately smiled, then prepared to fly away.
“Tianfeng Pirate Gang, you may be strong, but don’t think you can escape the wrath of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance.” With a swing of his sword, after repelling Zhu Chen, Cang Yan, Luo Kui, Chu Chen, and Ling Yu Bo, he even left behind a fierce remark.
Then, Chang Xin tried to leave.
Suddenly, Qu Yi appeared on the island and soon rose into the air, blocking Chang Xin’s escape route.
“Haha, Chang Xin, let’s meet in the divine realm.” As soon as he appeared, Qu Yi shouted with laughter.

When the six pirate gangs arrived, Qing Wu Gui had already contacted Qu Yi, so Qu Yi had long known about Chang Xin’s appearance. However, Qing Wu Gui asked Qu Yi to delay showing up as he wanted to fight first. That’s why Qu Yi appeared right when Chang Xin was about to leave. When Chang Xin saw Qu Yi, he didn’t show the slightest sign of panic.
