Chapter 1870: Lowering Their Heads
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
In the Divine Ox Castle, after the Ox Chieftain learned that Devilox was killed, a terrifying might gushed forth from him. He immediately summoned the heavenly deity who was escorting Devilox back. Low rumbling roars emitted from his mouth as his body suddenly expanded, becoming extremely gigantic. Behind this large body, an even more towering phantom of a Kui Ox manifested, as a baleful aura engulfed the entire Divine Ox Castle.
Those who came here for the wedding banquet were all stunned as they stared at the enraged Ox Chieftain. Before this, when Luoshen Chuan and the five demon sovereigns listed their conditions, the Ox Chieftain wasn’t even so angered. But now, he seemed to be completely infuriated.
“Luoshen Chuan, you actually sent people to kill Devilox.” The Ox Chieftain’s voice boomed like thunder, causing the hearts of countless people to tremble. Their eardrums were about to explode from the intensity of the volume and it was extremely unbearable. When they stared at the Ox Chieftain, they could clearly sense his palpable anger. The Ox Chieftain transformed into a true demon god, unleashing his fury.
Devilox was actually killed by someone.
Devilox was a supreme character of the younger generation who inherited the power of the dao bone. That was the ultimate treasure of their Divine Ox Clan, no one could touch him. By killing him, it was undoubtedly challenging the bottom line of the Divine Ox Clan. No wonder the Ox Chieftain would be so enraged.
“In this case, when I sent people to receive Luoshen Meng, your Divine Ox Clan actually refused?” Luoshen Chuan coldly spoke. His form also turned gigantic, growing to the same size as the Ox Chieftain while he radiated an intense pressure, like a true master of ten thousand demons. When countless demonic beasts here felt the power of his bloodline, they had the thought to kneel and submit to Luoshen Chuan. Luoshen Chuan’s bloodline was something all the demons in the Desolate Region wanted. This was also the reason why the Divine Ox Clan wanted to marry a maiden from the Luoshen Clan. They wanted to plunder the Luoshen Bloodline.
“I’ve already announced that Luoshen Meng has left the Luoshen Clan and belonged to my faction. Your Divine Ox Clan actually still dared to forcibly abduct her? Did you even put me in your eyes?” Luoshen Chuan’s voice turned cold as heavenly might shook the entire area. So what even if Devilox died? He only died because your Divine Ox Clan didn’t follow my instructions. Although all these could be anticipated, but in a confrontation between heavenly deities, how can one show that their presence is weaker? Not only you, the Ox Chieftain of the Divine Ox Clan can fly into a rage. I can do the same as well.
The Ox Chieftain didn’t completely lose his rational. He knew that if they started a war in the Divine Ox Clan, based on their current power, they didn’t occupy any advantage. Also, the battlefield was in the Divine Ox Clan. If a deity-level battle erupted here, all his clansmen would definitely die from the aftershocks. Once a war started, he was sure that Luoshen Chuan and the demon sovereigns would surely show no mercy.
The Ox Chieftain stared fixedly at Luoshen Chuan. The Luoshen Clan’s bloodline had the power to nurture divinity. They could summon demonic beasts that were subservient to them. In addition to Luoshen Chuan’s strength, if the Ox Chieftain chose to fight, he wouldn’t enjoy any advantages at all.
“I can agree to your condition and no longer pursue the matter about Luoshen Meng. Also, I can release the enslaved demonic beasts. However, you have to give me Devilox’s corpse.” The Divine Ox Chieftain spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, countless people were stunned. The Ox Chieftain actually chose to lower his head? Seems like Devilox’s corpse was more important to him than everything else. Even if the Divine Ox Clan was humiliated, he wanted to get Devilox’s corpse back first.
Everyone in the Desolate Region knew that Devilox had an inherited dao bone in his body. Also, those who read ancient records all knew that the origin of this dao bone, belonged to the Battle Saint Tribe. Once, the Battle Saint Tribe depended on the power of their ancestral dao bone to stand at the peak of the Desolate Region and has always dominated the Divine Ox Clan, even forcing the Divine Ox Clan to migrate and flee to evade a calamity. It was only until the Divine Ox Clan seized the Battle Saint Bone did the Battle Saint Tribe lose their most important inheritance and begin to decline.
The ancient records stated that the Battle Saint Bone was way too important to the Battle Saint Tribe. With the Battle Saint Bone, the bloodlines of the descendants would all receive an upgrade, gaining the inherited power of the Battle Saint Bone. It wasn’t something an ordinary dao bone could be compared to. If not, the Battle Saint Tribe wouldn’t have declined so badly the moment they lost the Battle Saint Bone.
Now, this supreme dao bone was with the Divine Ox Clan. Although its effect was already weakened through the passage of time, the Divine Ox Clan still treated it like an ultimate treasure. And now, although the Divine Ox Clan was humiliated, the Ox Chieftain had to choose to compromise, getting the dao bone back at any cost.
“Not pursue the matter about Luoshen Meng? I still have not yet brought up the topic of me pursuing what your Divine Ox Clan has done.” Luoshen Chuan coldly replied. “As for releasing the greater demons you enslaved, that is what the five demon sovereigns wanted. What a joke, you actually want to use this to negotiate the conditions? No matter what, the Divine Ox Clan has to agree to this or risk total annihilation today.”
The corpse of Devilox… the Divine Ox Clan still wanted to get back the dao bone?
The Divine Ox Clan humiliated the Luoshen Clan so badly, it wasn’t too much for Luoshen Chuan to claim back some interest on this debt, right? In addition, Qin Wentian had volunteered to do this. Qin Wentian told him that the dao bone in Devilox’s body was of great use to him. This was why Luoshen Chuan arranged for Luoshen Weng to place Qin Wentian in the escort team.
After he spoke, Luoshen Chuan took out his messaging crystal and pretended to ask some questions. After a few moments, his expression turned heavy and incomparably cold, “Luoshen Xiao told me that when they were facing against the heavenly deity of your Divine Ox Clan and Luoshen Qiong, Devilox ignored Luoshen Xiao’s words and still chose to bring Luoshen Meng and the other maidens back to the Divine Ox Castle. He even forced the escort team of the Luoshen Clan to leave. Now, the locations of Luoshen Meng and the two other maidens are unknown. All this was planned by your Divine Ox Clan, right? Shouldn’t your Divine Ox Clan give me a satisfactory reply?”
“You…” The Ox Chieftain howled in rage. Luoshen Chuan actually didn’t want to admit that Devilox was killed by his side and even tried to pin the blame on him saying that the Luoshen maidens went missing.
The crowd below was speechless. When heavenly deities schemed, they can truly be shameless enough. They naturally wouldn’t believe in Luoshen Chuan’s words. Clearly, this was something he instructed his men to do and didn’t want to return the dao bone. However, he refused to admit this. So, what does the Divine Ox Clan want to do? If they want a war, Luoshen Chuan would comply with a happy smile.
“Let’s war then!” The Ox Chieftain roared in madness. He soared into the air, yet Luoshen Chuan merely coldly glanced at him. Luoshen Chuan icily spoke, “For those who are innocent, leave immediately. The dao is merciless, don’t blame me when the aftershocks of the battle cause the entire Divine Ox Castle to be demolished and buried.”
He continued standing at his original location. He inclined his head and glanced at the Ox Chieftain. The Ox Chieftain wanted to shift the battlefield up in the air? Why would he agreed? When the Divine Ox Clan went to the Luoshen Mountain with the Qin Clan, they weren’t so considerate at all.
“Seems like the Divine Ox Clan doesn’t intend to release the enslaved demonic beasts at all.” The Kun Sovereign coldly spoke. Abruptly, he reverted to his true form as a bizarre monster with the features of both a leviathan and a giant roc appeared. The wings of this creature blotted out the sky, with a wingspan that spanned ten thousand miles, exuding a tyrannical and imposing aura. A stifling demonic qi engulfed the surroundings. His wings seemed to be the sharpest divine weapon in the world, capable of tearing apart everything. With a gentle flap of his wings, the motion seemed to be extremely slow yet it instantly generated a fearsome storm of destruction.
The Divine Ox Castle was in complete chaos. Countless experts paled. If a deity-level battle really erupted, they would all die helplessly here.
“Chieftain!” Many experts from the Divine Ox Clan stared up at their chieftain as terror appeared on their faces. It wasn’t realistic if they said they weren’t afraid. Be it humans or demons, before their lives, was pride and prestige important?
Back then when the Qin Clan and Divine Ox Clan went to the Luoshen Mountain, could it be that the people on the Luoshen Mountain weren’t afraid? There were some of the Luoshen Clan who were reluctant to accept this and wanted to battle. But what about the others? Who would easily throw their lives away?
And now, the Divine Ox Clan faced the same choice. The Kun Sovereign has already reverted to his true form. He wanted to tell the Divine Ox Clan this, “If you feel I don’t dare to battle, just bring it on and test me.”
Naturally, before doing this, one has to occupy an advantage first. Back then, the Divine Ox Clan enjoyed this advantage when they went to the Luoshen Mountain with the Qin Clan. And now, they were in the same situation as the Luoshen Clan back then.
On Luoshen Chuan’s side, their battle strength wasn’t so simple. Luoshen Chuan was the original clan leader of the Luoshen Clan. He had an additional helper and the five supreme demon sovereigns of the Demon God Mountain were also present. Their combat prowess wasn’t something ordinary heavenly deities could stand against.
“You guys are forcing my Divine Ox Clan like this today, are you not afraid that I will pay the Luoshen Clan and Demon God Mountain back?” The Ox Chieftain roared in rage.
“Old ox, this sentence should be something we say to you. Back then when you went to the Luoshen Mountain, didn’t you expect such a day like today would occur? Naturally, in the future you can still head to the Luoshen Mountain and Demon God Mountain. But unless your Divine Ox Clan can annihilate all of us in one fell swoop, we can also do the same and use the blood of your clansmen to wash the Divine Ox Castle clean.” Luoshen Chuan domineeringly replied.
“Chieftain, our original intent wasn’t to start a battle. We only wanted you to release the demonic beasts you enslaved. After all, we are doing this in consideration for the social order of the Desolate Region.” The Dragon Sovereign exuded a tyrannical aura as he spoke. The Ox Chieftain swept his gaze towards these people. After that, his large saucer-like eyes closed as he spoke, “Fine, I’ll agree to all your wishes.”
“Since that’s the case, I would have to thank chieftain for your graciousness.” The Kun Sovereign calmly spoke.
The Divine Ox Clan had chosen to lower their heads.
The hearts of everyone trembled. A deity-level battle didn’t erupt here after all. Luoshen Chuan’s words were correct. This matter was started by the Divine Ox Clan who first chose to ally with the Qin Clan against the Luoshen Clan. Luoshen Chuan was merely repaying them back in their own coin. However, given that the Divine Ox Clan suffered such humiliation today, they most probably wouldn’t forget about this given their personalities. Most probably, the Desolate Region in the future wouldn’t be too peaceful.
Back then, in order to evade calamity, the Divine Ox Clan was forced to hide in particle worlds and suffered great humiliation. But in the end, the Battle Saint Tribe was the one destroyed.
And now, the dao bone of the Divine Ox Clan was seized. The Divine Ox Clan could temporarily suppress this breath of resentment but they would surely never give up just like that.
Next, the Divine Ox Clan told all the guests to leave and they released the demonic beasts they enslaved. When that heavenly deity of the Divine Ox Clan and Luoshen Qiong arrived at the Divine Ox Clan, everything has already ended. Luoshen Qiong sighed in his heart. He didn’t expect that Luoshen Chuan would be the one to get revenge for the humiliation the Luoshen Clan suffered earlier. He didn’t know what to feel in his heart.
But thinking of Luoshen Mu’s perspective, he knew that Luoshen Mu also had no choice. Could it be that Luoshen Mu would rather allow the Luoshen Mountain to be demolished by the Divine Ox Clan and the Qin Clan by resisting?
…
The five demon sovereigns led the demonic beasts back. Many of the demonic beasts were extremely excited. Although their positions in the Divine Ox Clan weren’t low, they were still treated as servants. Over there, the people of the Divine Ox Clan were lofty and supreme individuals. Only the Demon God Mountain was the true paradise for demonic beasts. And now, they were finally freed and came here. As long as they could become a demon god, they could also be a demon sovereign.
“How satisfying.” The Heaven Devouring Sovereign laughed. After making arrangements for the freed demonic beasts, they came to the peak of an ancient mountain. He then spoke to Luoshen Chuan, “This time, our Demon God Mountain benefited greatly from the release of these demonic beasts. But as for you Luoshen Chuan, you didn’t obtain anything.”
“I’ve actually received plenty of things.” Luoshen Chuan laughed. He avenged the humiliation the Luoshen Clan faced. This was the most important. In addition, Qin Wentian also obtained Devilox’s dao bone.
At this moment, quite a few figures flew over. It was none other than Qin Wentian and Luoshen Meng, including Luoshen Yu and Luoshen Lei as well. They all knew what just happened in the Divine Ox Castle.
“Grandfather.” Qin Wentian walked towards Luoshen Chuan as Luoshen Chuan nodded to him.
“Grandpa, we’ve finally vented the suppressed breath of resentment and gained revenge for the humiliation our clan suffered.” Luoshen Lei was a little excited.
“Lei`er, don’t forget that there’s still the Qin Clan.” Qin Wentian spoke. Luoshen Lei’s beautiful eyes flashed. A hint of coldness also flickered in Luoshen Chuan’s eyes. The Qin Clan was then the main culprit. Now, the Qin Clan held a heavenly deity and ten powerful world overlords from the Luoshen Clan as hostages.
Just this debt alone wasn’t something they could easily avenge.
