Chapter 15: Die a Few More of You

“Is there such a thing? What exactly is Qu Yi doing to gain faith power in the lower world?”
Hearing Yan Yi’s words, several Divine Kings spoke out in confusion.
Undoubtedly, Qu Yi’s speed of cultivation had always been something the Divine Kings found incomprehensible—reaching the level of a Divine King in just hundreds of millions of years. In the history of the Divine Realm, only the God Emperor could be considered comparable to him.
Thus, the news brought by Yan Yi immediately piqued the interest of all the Divine Kings. They instinctively felt that Qu Yi’s rapid cultivation was likely related to faith power, and they naturally wanted to uncover the secret behind it.
“It seems best for us to go to Nan Yin Island to deal with Qu Yi. Once we contain him, we can go to Li Fei City to capture those who follow him, then search their souls to see what’s going on,” Qiu Yan said calmly.
“Good. On Nan Yin Island is Qu Yi’s wife, Bai Man. If we all descend there together, I doubt Qu Yi will dare to stay hidden,” Bai Rong added.
All the Divine Kings nodded in agreement.
Qu Yi’s threat was too great. They could no longer focus on their own cultivation, as they were entirely preoccupied with dealing with him. Therefore, they would try any method available to deal with him.
Soon after, the eight Divine Kings—Qiu Qi, Tian Jian, Bai Lan, Sang Rui, Gong Ye Zhong, Jin Cheng Rui, Yu En Heng, and Yan Que—went to a mysterious place to practice the Spatial-Time Transformation Array.
With the wisdom of Divine Kings, mastering a new technique wouldn’t take too long.
Ten years later, the twenty-four Divine Kings from the Eight Realms emerged from Gen Yuan City and instantly appeared above Nan Yin Island, their presence overwhelming, with the air filled with the sound of tornadoes.
“Qu Yi, come out!”
“Qu Yi, if you don’t come out, we’ll have no choice but to kill your wife.”
As soon as they appeared, the Divine Kings shouted these words, making it clear what they intended.
Qu Yi didn’t emerge immediately, but Qing Wu Gui had already flown out of Nan Yin Island. With a cold gaze, he scanned the group of Divine Kings, his killing intent causing the tornadoes generated by them to disperse.
“You wretched Divine Kings of the Eight Realms! Qu Yi spared you in the spatial chaos. Now you still dare to come here? Do you think your lives are precious?” Qing Wu Gui said calmly, already holding an invisible sword in his hand.
Qiu Yan sensed the power of the invisible sword and immediately shouted in anger, “Despicable! Qing Wu Gui, you actually stole Qiu Guan Yi’s invisible sword! You truly are shameless as a Divine King.”

The top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Invisible Sword, has always been Qiu Guanyi’s personal divine weapon. It was originally given to him by the Qiu clan as a gift when he reached the rank of Divine King, but now it has been taken away by Qing Wugui. As for Qiu Guanyi himself, he is locked up in a secret place far from Fei City, constantly facing challenges from cultivators at the Divine Marshal stage of Tianfeng Fort—essentially used as a tool to enhance their strength. The various Divine Kings were shocked; they knew something about Qing Wugui’s strength—he could even influence the Five Elements laws, and now he had reached the rank of Divine King. They were afraid of the strange abilities he possessed, not to mention that he now had the most lethal Invisible Sword. Qing Wugui smiled faintly and said softly, “The Invisible Sword is already my divine weapon. If you disagree, you can come out and take it back yourself.” Qiu Yan was stunned and extremely displeased, but he didn’t get angry anymore. “Qing Wugui, where is Qu Yi? We came here to fight him again. If Qu Yi doesn’t show up, we’ll blow Nan Yin Island to dust. If we kill his wife, he better not regret it,” Gongye Ming took over and said coldly. The various Divine Kings all showed cruel smiles. Hearing this, Qing Wugui’s expression turned icy. These Divine Kings were so shameless, using such methods to threaten him and Qu Yi—utterly lacking in grace and extremely despicable. “I can wipe you all out without Qu Yi even stepping in,” Qing Wugui said coldly before flying away. At the rank of Divine King, he could teleport instantly. “Be careful!” the various Divine Kings shouted at the same time. Qing Wugui appeared instantly in front of Gongye Ming, pointing the Invisible Sword and unleashing a powerful spatial force that caused the void to collapse, enveloping Gongye Ming entirely. “That’s wrong—your spatial force is strange,” Gongye Ming shouted calmly despite his shock and anger. At the same time, he summoned his Origin Pearl, drawing the primal energy of the Ze Dui Divine Realm to strengthen himself. With an endless supply of spatial energy, he easily blocked Qing Wugui’s attack. Qing Wugui’s spatial force wasn’t derived from his own body but rather by drawing on the space of the divine realm, where various energies were rapidly annihilated, causing the space to split open, as if torn by spatial force itself. In terms of killing, Qing Wugui could now control the entire space; he only needed to think to make any part of it split. “Strange? Of course,” Qing Wugui said indifferently before striking again with his sword.

Around Gongye Ming’s body, patches of space collapsed, leaving him no time to enter the spatial turbulence. Undoubtedly, he could only rely on his own spatial power to protect himself and resist the pull of the collapsing space.

Upon seeing Qingwugui’s attack, the Eight Realms Divine Kings naturally did not wait. They immediately took out their divine artifacts and launched a fierce attack at Qingwugui.

The collapsing space enveloped Qingwugui entirely.

At that moment, something that shocked all the divine kings happened—the collapsing space failed to pull Qingwugui’s body away, and he didn’t even use any spatial power at all. His entire body was left to be drawn and pulled by the collapsing space.

“That’s impossible!”

“How can Qingwugui’s body directly resist the collapsing space?”

“Does this Qingwugui not even obey the laws of space?”

“I’m really hurt.”

……

Seeing Qingwugui’s behavior, the twenty-four divine kings naturally expressed their disappointment and dissatisfaction. They all stared at him in shock, unable to understand what was happening.

Qingwugui had already destroyed the Five Elements Laws, so he was no longer bound by the laws of space.

However, after the twenty-four divine kings created the collapsing space, Qingwugui could no longer control the spatial splits with his mind, greatly weakening his offensive power.

Realizing Qingwugui’s weakness, the divine kings felt somewhat relieved.

Collapsing space meant the disappearance of space, so naturally, Qingwugui could no longer use spatial splits as a means of attack. After realizing this, the divine kings found a way to deal with him—by collapsing the space around him, they could strip him of all offensive power.

“Hmph, let’s divide the work. Five divine kings will hold Qingwugui back while the rest go to Nan Yin Island to capture Bai Man,” Gongye Ming said coldly upon realizing the situation.

“Agreed,” the divine kings agreed happily.

As expected, Qiu Meng, Tian Yu, Chai Ying, Jing Miao, and Sang Xue, the five divine kings, kept holding Qingwugui back by creating continuous spatial collapses, preventing him from moving.

Meanwhile, the other divine kings excitedly gathered at the Three Divine Peaks, focusing their consciousnesses on Bai Man.

“Since Qu Yi wants to be a coward, there’s no need for further talk. Let’s just kill Bai Man and make Qu Yi regret it for life,” Yan Que said coldly, his eyes filled with madness.

All the divine kings raised their right hands, ready to strike down Bai Man with a single palm.

“Scoundrels!”

A cold shout erupted from beside Bai Man, and soon Qu Yi appeared, staring coldly at the nineteen Divine Kings on Three Gods Peak.
When the twenty-four Divine Kings appeared above Nan Yin Island, Qu Yi already knew what was going on, but he stayed hidden, wanting Qing Wu Gui to fight against these Divine Kings and hone his own attacking skills.
However, Qing Wu Gui’s fighting style had some flaws, allowing him to be held back by five Divine Kings. Seeing this, Qu Yi saw no need to wait any longer and stepped in personally to deal with these Divine Kings and save Bai Man’s life.
After shouting angrily, Qu Yi waved his right hand, sending Bai Man and Mu Han away, then glared coldly at the nineteen Divine Kings, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
“Qu Yi, you’ve finally decided to show up.”
“Qu Yi, you won’t be able to escape today.”
“Qu Yi, the power behind our eight great royal families is beyond your reach. Today, you must be punished.”
The Divine Kings also replied coldly, their momentum growing stronger.
Qu Yi shook his head and smiled faintly, “I spared your lives in the spatial chaos, but you still refuse to see reason. Then I’ll have to act again—let a few more of you die.”
Since one Divine King, Gou Fang, dying hadn’t deterred them, Qu Yi didn’t mind killing a few more to deal them another heavy blow.
“Hmph, go ahead and kill if you want. Today, Qu Yi, you won’t be able to fly away,” Qiu Yan shouted angrily, already issuing orders secretly through his divine consciousness.
The eight Divine Kings—Qiu Qi, Tian Jian, Bai Lan, Sang Rui, Gong Ye Zhong, Jin Cheng Rui, Yu En Heng, and Yan Que—were responsible for setting up the spatial-time transformation formation and had already received Qiu Yan’s orders, ready to act.
Qu Yi merely sneered, suddenly flying away before reappearing in front of Gong Ye Ming. With a swing of his Star Sword, the space around Gong Ye Ming collapsed.
“You talk so much—let’s start with you,” Qu Yi said coldly as he appeared.
Gong Ye Ming had suffered several severe injuries in the spatial chaos last time and hadn’t recovered yet. Now he still dared to confront Qu Yi, so Qu Yi had no intention of showing mercy. Ignoring the idea of the Artifact God wanting to kill Gong Ye Ming himself, he decided to kill him personally.
“I have the Origin Pearl!” Gong Ye Ming sneered, having already summoned it.
Although the collapsing space was terrifying, the Origin Pearl absorbed the primal energy from the Ze Dui Divine Realm, allowing Gong Ye Ming to stand firmly without being pulled in by the collapse.
At that moment, Qiu Yan shouted, “Eight Divine Kings, go ahead!”
