——————————
Above the Northern Pole Holy Emperor Palace, numerous Divine Kings looked on with interest at the scene unfolding before their eyes. Merely for a woman, this newly risen "Qin Yu," the Artisan God of the Divine World, had actually become indecisive and was now quarreling with a Divine King.
How amusing.
Although Qin Yu was strong, he was not a Divine King after all. In the eyes of the Divine Kings, no matter how powerful an Upper Heavenly God might be, they could not harm a Divine King in the slightest.
Those who are not Divine Kings are merely ants; how could they shake a great tree?
"Truly overestimating oneself." Zhou Xian, filled with joy and smugness, glanced at Qin Yu with a trace of disdain in his eyes. "Being so arrogant with the Northern Pole Holy Emperor, oh, with my father-in-law, is truly asking for trouble."
However, Jiang Lan’s face was more solemn at this moment.
Because...
"Big Brother, you still disregard Li’er’s wishes and my warning and have chosen Zhou Xian regardless." Jiang Lan’s voice echoed in Jiang Fan’s mind.
Jiang Fan was mostly focused on Jiang Lan, with some attention on Qin Yu. However, on the surface, Jiang Fan coldly watched Qin Yu.
"Qin Yu, I understand your feelings," Jiang Fan said indifferently, "but this marriage competition was conducted fairly under the observation of the Divine Kings. You must accept the result."
Qin Yu stared into Jiang Fan’s eyes and laughed.
"Fairly?"
Qin Yu glanced at the Divine Kings above. "Divine Kings, you all saw my performance in the marriage contest. Out of the three spots, I achieved two, while Zhou Xian only got one. Moreover... my bridal gift is a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure! I really want to know, how could you choose Zhou Xian under these circumstances and talk about fairness?"
"A first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?"
The Divine Kings above immediately started discussing among themselves.
Jiang Fan, his face instantly darkened, said, "Could it be that the Zhou Family’s bridal gift is a Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure? Otherwise, how could you choose Zhou Xian? We’re also quite puzzled."
The other Divine Kings looked skeptically at Jiang Fan. Indeed, Qin Yu had already obtained two nomination spots, plus his bridal gift was a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. Under such conditions, how could he have lost?
Jiang Fan’s expression suddenly became stern.
Zhou Huo stood up, glancing at Qin Yu before speaking aloud, "Fellow Divine Kings, might everyone recall when Brother Jiang Fan said that as long as the bridal gift could surprise him and excite him, the more pleasing it was to him, the better? The bridal gift my Zhou Family gave to the Jiang Family was indeed more precious to Brother Jiang Fan than that first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure."
Jiang Fan also nodded and said, "I can assure you, this bridal gift is indeed far more important to me than that first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. Hence, my choice of Zhou Xian is the epitome of fairness."
With both Holy Emperors saying so, the other Divine Kings in their hearts believed them, for everyone values their own face, and it was hard to believe that two Holy Emperors would make empty boasts.
"The epitome of fairness?"
Qin Yu, smiling, actually stepped onto the staircase and began to slowly ascend towards the great hall, "How come I fail to see the fairness here? Jiang Fan, Holy Emperor of the Northern Pole! Why don’t you tell me, what exactly is that bridal gift?"
As Qin Yu spoke, he continued to step up the staircase towards the great hall.
Zhou Huo shouted coldly, "How audacious, Qin Yu! This is not a place for you to be arrogant. Step back at once." Hearing this, Qin Yu responded with a cold, disdainful snort, and glanced at Zhou Huo, "I’m speaking with the Holy Emperor of the Northern Pole; why are you interrupting?"
Zhou Huo was taken aback.
Everyone in the great hall was stunned. After a moment, Zhou Huo’s face turned crimson with rage, as though he was about to bleed. In one hundred and twenty million billion years, who had ever dared to speak to him, the Northwest Saint Emperor, like this?
"Qin Yu, you..." Zhou Huo was about to strike in an instant.
"Brother Zhou Huo," Jiang Lan said coldly.
"Don’t hurry. Let’s deal with Qin Yu’s disrespect towards you later. Right now, I also have my doubts about the fairness of this marriage proposal, and I’d really like to know what exactly is written on the Zhou Family’s betrothal gift list," Jiang Lan’s indifferent yet icy voice echoed through the hall.
The other Divine Kings were astonished. Jiang Lan was Jiang Fan’s younger brother; why was he undermining Jiang Fan at this time?
Qin Yu and Jiang Lan exchanged a glance in an instant, then immediately looked away.
Both understood what the other was thinking.
Qin Yu swept his gaze over Jiang Fan and then looked towards Jiang Li. Jiang Fan’s wife, Chunyu Rou, was giving Qin Yu a cold stare, as if trying to dissuade him with her gaze alone.
"Li’er, I’m sorry," Qin Yu said softly.
Jiang Li gently shook her head, understanding the meaning behind Qin Yu’s apology. Qin Yu was apologizing for not being able to fulfill his promise to let her, Jiang Li, marry him in a grand and rightful manner. Now it seemed the promise could never be realized.
"Let’s go," said Qin Yu with a faint smile.
All who heard Qin Yu’s words were baffled. At that moment, Jiang Li was behind Jiang Fan, surrounded by numerous Divine Kings. Could Qin Yu possibly abduct her under these circumstances?
"Qin Yu, not even the aid of a Divine King will allow you to take my daughter away today," Jiang Fan said with a faint smile, while the space around Jiang Li was securely locked down.
Other Divine Kings, don’t even think about using the Divine World’s Space Power to take her away.
Qin Yu didn’t even deign to glance at Jiang Fan, treating him as if he were thin air. His gaze was entirely focused on Jiang Li. In response to Qin Yu’s inquiry—
Jiang Li nodded.
"From today onwards, we will never be apart," Qin Yu said with a smile.
The Power of New Universe Space had already extended across hundreds of miles, naturally encompassing the Holy Emperor Hall as well. With a mere thought from Qin Yu, Jiang Li, who had been behind Jiang Fan, vanished into thin air.
She vanished.
Right under the eyes of thirteen Divine Kings, inside the Northern Pole Holy Emperor Palace, observed by all the Heavenly Gods, Jiang Li just disappeared.
"Where’s Li’er?" Jiang Fan was completely dumbfounded.
This scene was shockingly bewildering to the other Divine Kings. Jiang Fan was certain that he had completely sealed the space around Jiang Li, making it impossible for any Divine King to use Divine World’s Space Power to take Li’er away.
But...
The Space Power Qin Yu used was not from the Divine World but originated from a new universe he had created. Not even the Divine Kings could detect the Power of New Universe Space.
"Qin Yu, return my wife!" Zhou Xian bellowed suddenly.
"Wife?" Qin Yu’s gaze turned cold, and he turned back, about to strike Zhou Xian when he realized that Zhou Huo and Jiang Fan were about to attack him simultaneously.
Under the cover of Space Power, Qin Yu’s reactions were astonishingly fast.
"Whoosh!"
In front of everyone’s eyes, Qin Yu took an easy step towards Zhou Xian at the bottom of the hall, his attention still fixed on him as if he was oblivious to the two Divine Kings behind him.
"Ah!" The Heavenly Gods below couldn’t help but worry for Qin Yu.
However, what happened next left everyone dumbstruck—
Another person materialized from Qin Yu’s body, another Qin Yu, clad in green robes. The black-robed Qin Yu attacked Zhou Xian below, while the green-robed Qin Yu faced the two Divine Kings with a smile.
A Clone Technique?
Jiang Fan and Zhou Huo were both startled, but they still attacked Qin Yu with composed expressions. Jiang Fan’s palm strike was like it encompassed heaven and earth, leaving no room to escape.
Zhou Huo even transformed into a bolt of lightning and struck down at Qin Yu directly.
With the two Divine Kings attacking together, the situation was extremely dire.
"Big Brother!" A voice echoed in Jiang Fan’s mind, and at the same time, Jiang Lan appeared in front of Jiang Fan, throwing a punch with one hand that fiercely collided with Jiang Fan’s palm strike.
The space intensely vibrated, and where the fist met the palm, space completely collapsed.
"Little brother," Jiang Fan glared furiously at Jiang Lan.
However, Jiang Lan met his gaze with a cold smirk!
"This isn’t good." At this moment, Shen Tufan and Marquis Kui Yin below also started worrying for Qin Yu.
Jiang Lan could block one person, but he couldn’t manage to block the second one in time. The lightning that the Northwest Saint Emperor Zhou Huo had transformed into was already slashing down: "Don’t you harm my son!" A divine sense transmission resounded in Qin Yu’s mind.
"Your son is doomed," said the green-robed Qin Yu, suddenly launching a fierce punch toward the lightning.
The Divine Kings above found it laughable that Qin Yu’s clone was confronting the Northwest Saint Emperor head-on. Was this clone seeking death?
"Boom!"
The fist and the lightning collided fiercely.
"Whoosh~~~" The surrounding space, flimsy as a wavering image, began trembling, tearing, and breaking apart. Even with powerful Restrictions protecting the Holy Emperor Hall, the floor collapsed thunderously, cracking open. The entire space of the Holy Emperor Hall trembled, and the pillars of the hall collapsed with a rumble.
The Heavenly Gods hurriedly retreated quickly, thankful that the Holy Emperor Hall itself contained powerful Restrictions that had a strong binding force. Otherwise, this single clash would have been enough to cause the collapse and tearing of space for several miles around.
"Such a solid fist," Zhou Huo was astonished.
The green-robed Qin Yu was a fusion of the Lotus Heart of the Nine-leaf Flower Lotus and the Golden Orb, inherently a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. Could the hardness of a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure be fake?
Yet Zhou Huo’s face still bore a slight smile.
The Divine Skills of a Divine King weren’t a joke. The most formidable aspect of a Divine King was controlling space!
"Swoosh!" The space around the green-robed Qin Yu suddenly collapsed, trapping him within a spatial crevice.
"Such terrifying swallowing power." Falling into the spatial crevice, the green-robed Qin Yu couldn’t help but admire inwardly; in the blink of an eye, the space returned to normal, and the green-robed Qin Yu was exiled into the spatial crevice.
"Hmph." Zhou Huo wore a faint smile on his face.
However, Zhou Huo didn’t realize that Qin Yu’s clone, trapped in space for just a moment, had already used Instantaneous Movement to return directly to the New Universe.
******
While Zhou Huo clashed with the green-robed Qin Yu, Qin Yu himself was attacking Zhou Xian. However, when Zhou Huo had launched the spatial attack just now, he targeted not only Qin Yu’s clone but also Qin Yu himself.
"Hm?"
Qin Yu felt the space around him was about to collapse.
"Stabilize."
A long spear suddenly appeared in Qin Yu’s hand, the Residual Snow Divine Spear, which spun surrounded by Xuanhuang Energy. The collapsing space was actually frozen in place.
An intrinsic effect of the Xuanhuang Energy was to stabilize the Five Elements, fortifying Universe Space!
"Poof!"
The Residual Snow Divine Spear thrust out directly.
Zhou Xian watched Qin Yu’s attack with disdain in his eyes, thinking, "Qin Yu, you are only an Upper Heavenly God, thinking you can kill me without a Formation? Dream on." Zhou Xian retrieved a lightning whip that flickered with electric light, lashing fiercely towards Qin Yu’s spear.
Zhou Xian didn’t know that Qin Yu had just withstood the ’Space Destruction’ attack and could deal with Space Destruction so effortlessly—how could his strength be comparable to Zhou Xian’s?
"Swish!"
"Boom!" The electric whip Zhou Xian wielded, attempting to ensnare Qin Yu’s Residual Snow Divine Spear, vibrated violently from the spear and was shattered, breaking into over a dozen pieces.
"No!"
Zhou Huo was still in shock from the ineffective Space Destruction, and upon seeing Qin Yu’s fearsome spear attack, he was immediately filled with fear.
"Ah!" Zhou Xian was similarly petrified with fear.
His second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure ’Lightning Whip’ had just been snapped. What level of weapon could that be in Qin Yu’s hand—possibly another first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?
Unfortunately for Zhou Xian, he didn’t know that the Residual Snow Divine Spear was even more terrifying than a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure.
It seemed slow, but Qin Yu’s spear was thrust at such a speed that no one had the luxury of time to think any further. The Divine Kings above only had a moment of surprise before Qin Yu’s spear had already reached Zhou Xian.
"Boom!"
The spear struck Zhou Xian, who flew out like a sandbag and then smashed heavily against the wall of the Holy Emperor Hall, blood spraying all over it.
"Strange, how is he not dead?" Qin Yu noticed something peculiar.
"Qin Yu, how dare you!"
The Northwest Saint Emperor Zhou Huo produced a dark hammer in his hand, the Southwest Saint Emperor took out a thin, cicada-wing-like azure sword, and the South Pole Saint Emperor produced a white spear.
"The three Holy Emperors, with the three Clan Guardian Treasures?"
Qin Yu chuckled suddenly; not to mention three, even one full-powered Holy Emperor would be too much for Qin Yu to handle. If all three struck with full force, staying there would be a death wish.
"Think you can kill me? Dream on!"
Qin Yu suddenly laughed out loud.
"You’re lucky." Qin Yu sneered as he glanced at Zhou Xian, who had already stood up, then vanished into thin air from the hall.
