Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 1588 - 1579: Sixteen Bandits of the Holy Mountain (3rd Update)
"Speaking of the conflict between the Holy Mountain and the Fire God Clan, it reminds me of the Sixteen Thieves of the Holy Mountain. I’ve heard that they’ve been lingering in this Void Alliance for the past two months, causing quite a stir, even alerting Emperor Huo, who has now personally moved to expel them from the Void Alliance."
"These Sixteen Thieves are indeed a headache, but undeniably, they can no longer be underestimated. Besides all the Emperors, who else in the world can suppress them now, I wonder?"
The crowd debated, not noticing Mo Wangchen and Ji Feng sitting by the window.
"The Sixteen Thieves of the Holy Mountain?"
Upon hearing these words, Mo Wangchen was stunned.
He continued to listen attentively and learned that this group known as the Sixteen Thieves was composed of Yao Yuntian and his companions.
In addition to disciples Yao Yuntian and Jing Yun, there were Zhang Hao, Aotian, including the twelve brothers who had sworn brotherhood with Mo Wangchen back in Tiannan.
A total of sixteen individuals formed the so-called Sixteen Thieves of the Holy Mountain.
For the past two months, they descended from the Holy Mountain, roamed the Void Alliance, causing quite an uproar, challenging many strong followers of the Fire God Clan, and even uprooting some territories.
They acted swiftly and decisively, like a storm, and even veteran masters had to retreat when faced with their combined might.
As the situation brewed, it gradually alarmed the Fire God Clan, and now Emperor Huo has personally taken action to drive them out of the Void Alliance.
Otherwise, if left unchecked, what face would the Fire God Clan have left?
"These Sixteen Thieves are not weak; each of them is a top figure of the current young generation, with the Luoshen Body Jing Yun, Sky Demon Little King Yao Yuntian, and Zhang Hao, who has received the true Sword Dao transmission from the Divine King Body. Together, they make even veteran masters wince. Can Emperor Huo handle them?"
"Just rising stars. Emperor Huo once contended equally with the Divine King Body, one of the true top rulers of today. Although the Sixteen Thieves have gained fame in recent years, they still lack the skills to be on par with all Emperors."
"Over the past seven years, there’s been little action from all Emperors. The two Sons of the Dragon Clan remain in the Dragon Clan’s ancestral land, and the Emperor of each Martial Alliance has almost never appeared. Over these years, they’ve been cultivating in peace; their strength is likely far greater than seven years ago. Once they emerge, the world will be in upheaval. Besides the Divine King Body, who can suppress them?"
"It is rumored that Emperor Huo has achieved Great Success in Divine Skill, his strength likely surpassing the Fire God Emperor, placing him among the forefront of top rulers within all Emperors. Talent emerges with each generation, leading for several hundred years; soon, the era of Divine Emperor level beings will end, with all Emperors competing fiercely."
"The Divine King Body disappeared seven years ago, rumored to have gone to the Outer World and maybe never returning, otherwise, this would have been his era," someone lamented.
"Grandpa, who is this Divine King Body? Is he very powerful?"
A young girl, eyes sparkling with curiosity, couldn’t help but ask while listening to the debates.
Beside her, an elderly man with white hair and beard smiled as he patted her head, saying, "Child, you’re still young, and there’s much you don’t know. The year before you were born, when the Divine King Body hadn’t left yet, his radiance overshadowed almost everyone; whether today’s Emperor Huo or the two Sons of the Dragon Clan, none dared to confront him head-on. He was truly invincible among those in the same realm."
"Is he stronger than Emperor Huo? I heard that Emperor Huo has already reached the fourth stage of the Ancient God Realm, with cultivation not much weaker than the Fire God Emperor seven years ago. Is the Divine King Body really that strong?" The girl was visibly astonished, her big, bright eyes filled with curiosity and confusion.
The old man smiled again, gently touching her head, saying, "If the Divine King Body were still in this world, his cultivation might have already truly surpassed Divine Emperor strongholds..."
"Who is this Emperor Huo?"
Amid the discussions, Ji Feng, who had been sitting beside Mo Wangchen, finally couldn’t resist asking.
Even though he regained the memories of his past life, he knew nothing about the affairs of the Three Pure Realm, and Mo Wangchen never mentioned a word to him.
Having seized the Creation Dao, now even in the Bodhi Realm’s younger generation, Mo Wangchen nearly stands at the forefront. Are there other geniuses in the Three Pure Realm who can stand beside him?
Mo Wangchen sipped his wine, smiled faintly, and said, "An old enemy of the past, I suppose an acquaintance..."
In seven years, so much has happened. He didn’t expect even Emperor Huo to have reached the fourth stage of the Ancient God Realm. When he left, the other seemed only to be at the second stage of the Ancient God Realm?
"Boom!"
Suddenly, from the distant sky came the sound of a massive energy explosion, as if someone was in a fierce battle.
Everyone in the city was startled, including Mo Wangchen and Ji Lin, who rushed out of the tavern, looking up.
"It’s Emperor Huo!"
"What’s going on? Who is fighting him? They seem incredibly strong!"
Having just stepped out of the tavern, Mo Wangchen heard someone exclaim beside him. He looked up, and upon seeing the figures engaged in battle, his face couldn’t help but freeze.
"The Sixteen Thieves of the Holy Mountain!"
"It’s those sixteen rising stars who’ve caused quite a stir in the Void Alliance in recent months. Rumor has it Emperor Huo has personally stepped out to expel them; I didn’t expect them to encounter each other here."
Above in the sky, the battle was intensely fierce, with sixteen people attacking aggressively.
Emperor Huo stood amid an endless Fire Sea, as if a generation of Fire Gods had descended, dispersing the attack of the sixteen with ease, as if with no effort at all.
"This guy’s showing off, completely disregarding us. If we can’t suppress him today, what face will the Sixteen Thieves have to walk in the world?" A man wielding a golden long spear shouted angrily; it was Bai Jincheng. From the expression on his face, you could tell how upset he was.
"Say something simple, then suppress him. This guy once contended equally with Thirteen," another person said.
"Let me do it!"
A loud shout fell, Sword Light flashed, splitting the Void, extending to a length of nearly a hundred zhang, descending with astonishing power.
"Crack!"
However, as the hundred zhang Sword Light touched the Fire Sea surrounding Emperor Huo, it instantly shattered, unable to penetrate at all.
"Haha, Zhang Hao, your swordsmanship still lacks the skill compared to Thirteen, same as being useless," someone laughed. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
All sixteen continued to strike, constantly attacking with Great Techniques, yet their faces lacked much tension. Though they knew that even combined, they couldn’t defeat Emperor Huo, due to certain reasons, Emperor Huo didn’t dare to harm them.
The present Holy Mountain has already changed dramatically; the Big White Dog rules the world with an invincible True Body. Three years ago, it once clashed with the Fire God Emperor, not being inferior.
In recent years, despite the frequent conflicts between the Holy Mountain and the Fire God Clan, the clan dare not truly harm anyone from the Holy Mountain. Because of that battle three years ago, everyone already knows the Big White Dog’s power, already deemed invincible in this realm, not much weaker than strong figures like the Fire God Emperor.
Unless absolutely forced, the Fire God Clan dare not deliver a killing blow, let alone kill Yao Yuntian and others close to Mo Wangchen, otherwise, once the Big White Dog goes berserk, who can withstand it?
