Chapter 2003: Che Hou’s Dominance
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
After Che Hou rebuilt the Che Clan, he stayed there and didn’t leave. There didn’t seem to be any reactions from the three grand factions in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
Until one day, multiple heavenly deities arrived here. These deities were the Prison God Clan Leader and the experts from the Prison God Clan. They had chosen to submit to Yue Changkong and came here to find out about the commotion.
When the Prison God Clan Leader saw the majestic golden city before his eyes, he spoke, “Brother Che, an old friend has come to visit you. Why don’t you come out to meet me?”
Within the giant golden city, a beam of light flashed. After that, the beam of light transformed into a human silhouette. This person was none other than the Che Clan Leader, Che Hou. He turned his gaze onto the experts as he calmly spoke, “I didn’t expect the first one to come would be you.”
His voice seemed very cold, like an emotionless mechanical object. There were no feelings within.
“Such a major thing happened to the Che Clan, I naturally wanted to come here for a look.” The Prison God Clan Leader smiled. “Back then, we all joined forces to attack the Heaven Vault and we had no wish to return empty-handed. But what’s detestable was the fact that the Heaven Vault ended our era. I’m sure Brother Che wouldn’t forget about this hatred, right?”
“What are you talking about?” A cold light flickered in the eyes of Che Hou, involuntarily causing people to feel a chill in their hearts.
“Right now, I’m sure Brother Che already knows about the situation in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Now, I’ve chosen to follow Yue Changkong. He has the power of two great godkings within him and is currently unrivaled in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Why doesn’t Brother Che submit to Yue Changkong together with me? We shall destroy the Heaven Vault and unify the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” The Prison God Clan Leader revealed his objective here. Yue Changkong told him to come here and persuade Che Hou to submit.
Che Hou coldly looked at him. A mocking smile appeared on his face, “Back then when Qin Wentian attacked and destroyed the Thunder Clan, why didn’t that unrivaled character you are talking about appear? Also, where’s the western world? We attacked the Heaven Vault because the western world was supposed to be behind our backs. However, they didn’t even show themselves. Could you still not understand what’s going on? In the past, we were all nothing but chess pieces.”
The Prison God Clan Leader felt his heart trembling. The powerful them were actually chess pieces, what a sorrowful thing. However, in this chessboard, the strongest three grand factions in the current Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were gambling. The one who wins the gamble would win the entire world.
And now, the Prison God Clan Leader was still a chess piece and he was willing to be one. He had no choice but to be one.
“Brother Che, sometimes we cannot go against the trend of things. You have to make a choice no matter what.” The Prison God Clan Leader seemed to be sighing, yet he also seemed to be making a threat.
However, Che Hou merely smiled coldly. “You are right. People feel helpless because they cannot go against the trend of things. But from now on, I myself shall control my own destiny. The Che Clan was annihilated and I, Che Hou, have died once. The current me is no longer the past me. Seeing that we once fought together side-by-side on the battlefield before, you can leave. I won’t do anything to you.”
“Brother Che, don’t make things difficult for me.” The Prison God Clan Leader spoke. Che Hou had a mocking smile on his face.
Make things difficult?
He truly didn’t want to act against the Prison God Clan Leader because he knew that the Prison God Clan Leader was nothing but a chess piece being used by someone else. If not, he wouldn’t even have deigned to speak with the Prison God Clan Leader.
“Just return.” Che Hou turned his back. The Prison God Clan Leader’s eyes flashed with coldness. He waved his hand as a deity beside him began to erupt with divine might. An incomparably powerful spatial blade sliced through the air, appearing before Che Hou.
Che Hou’s body stopped in mid-air. When the terrifying spatial blade slashed at his body, a loud grinding sound could actually be heard. This attack seemed to have landed on the toughest divine weapon instead of a body of flesh and blood.
Che Hou slowly turned back. His gaze became much colder than before as he stared at that heavenly deity of the Prison God Clan.
“Mhm?” That deity who attacked frowned. He pierced out with his finger as a terrifying golden spatial storm sought to lacerate everything, wanting to destroy the space Che Hou was in. But under the terrifying storm, Che Hou still stood there quietly. His golden robes produced flapping sounds and fluttered with the winds. Let alone his body, even his robes suffered no damage.
This fearsome scene caused the deities of the Prison God Clan to change drastically, including the Prison God Clan Leader.
After reaching the heavenly deity realm, the toughness of one’s body would be extremely terrifying. There were experts with bodies tougher than divine weapons but if they were faced with a heavenly dao energy attack, the attack would still be able to affect them. However right now, when such a powerful dao attack blasted into Che Hou, Che Hou didn’t even need to resist. He stood there and calmly watched everything while remaining stationary. How terrifying was that?
“Dao of space?” A cold smile appeared on Che Hou’s face. He then stretched out his hand and gestured towards that deity who attacked him. At this instant, a spatial tunnel appeared between them. This tunnel was directly enveloped by a terrifying golden vortex. After that, countless divine weapons manifested in the vortex, turning it into a storm of divine weapons that wanted to tear the tunnel that was linked to that heavenly deity apart.
The expression of that heavenly deity drastically changed. He waved his hand, wanting to open up another pathway so he could flee.
“You still want to leave?” Che Hou’s voice was cold. With a squeeze of his hands, the vortex enveloping the tunnel began to twist. The space where the heavenly deity was at began to twist and distort as well.
“Senior Che please spare me!” That heavenly deity begged. His screams of misery rang out together with his plea but Che Hou didn’t have any intentions of stopping. He simply stood there and continued making hand movements. The vortex slowly spun according to his commands, seemingly linked to his hand via energy resonance. That terrifying vortex then caused everything to crumble apart, that Prison God Clan’s deity was buried within. He didn’t even have a chance to make an attempt to escape.
The deities of the Prison God Clan in the surroundings stared at everything in fear and trepidation. In fact, even the Prison God Clan Leader didn’t do anything. He stood at the side and observed passively while his countenance grew extremely unsightly.
Yue Changkong told them to come here to find out what happened. If they could get Che Hou to submit, it would naturally be for the best. However, they were already prepared in their hearts before they came that Che Hou might be more powerful than before. But even so, he clearly didn’t expect Che Hou to be this powerful. Heavenly deities were like ants to him and his earlier attack seemed extremely casual. If Che Hou erupts with his full strength, how strong would the current him be?
“Yue Changkong wants me to submit?” At this moment, Che Hou’s voice rang out. His gaze was fixed on the Prison God Clan Leader as he coldly continued, “Tell him to come look for me himself. I want to see how strong is he exactly for someone who has the powers of two godkings.”
The Prison God Clan Leader’s heart trembled. The Che Hou now was so confident, so confident to the extent that he didn’t even fear going up and testing the strength of a godking. He seemed to be a completely changed man, different from the past. What happened to him exactly? Where were the others from the Che Clan? Why did Che Hou appear alone?
“I don’t wish to kill you or you wouldn’t have been able to be still alive. Help me convey my words to Yue Changkong. If he doesn’t come and look for me personally, he better not antagonize me. Also, for the western world and the Heaven Vault, they better wait. I, Che Hou, have come.” Che Hou’s icy voice was filled with immense confidence and hatred.
He hated Qin Wentian. If it wasn’t for Qin Wentian and the strength of the Heaven Vault, the Che Clan wouldn’t have needed to escape into that dimension.
He also hated the western world for using them like chess pieces, not revealing themselves and only knowing how to hide in the dark.
Right now, the vengeance of the entire Che Clan was gathered on his body which fused as one with the Divine weapon. He would definitely claim this debt of revenge back.
Even though Che Hou was alone right now, he would still make the name of the Che Clan resound gloriously through the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
When the Prison God Clan Leader heard Che Hou’s confident and crazy words, he didn’t rebut. Although both of them were at the heavenly deity realm, he was now already left in the dust by Che Hou. He was no longer able to be comparable to Che Hou.
If the heavenly deity realm was divided into tiers, the first was probably the ordinary tier while the second elite tier would be people like him, those controlling a hegemonic power. For the third supreme tier, it would be characters like Qin Ding and the old Qiankun Sect Leader. And as for people like Qin Yuanfeng, he was even above the supreme tier and might already be very close to the godking level.
In that case, what tier has Che Hou reached now?
Was he already at Qin Yuanfeng’s level? Or was he even stronger and was as powerful as the ancient godkings?
The Prison God Clan Leader had no way to know because he himself couldn’t be sure how powerful someone would be when they reached that level.
As for the controller of the Heaven Vault Qin Wentian, he could already suppress the Thunder Clan Leader back then. At that time, Qin Wentian’s strength level should have already reached the level of Qin Ding and the old Qiankun Sect Leader. Now, there’s no doubt that he would be even stronger. The current Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms have entered a crazy era where all heroes vied for supremacy.
The Prison God Clan Leader left. Che Hou’s name once again resounded through out the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. No one knew how he did it or what had he experienced but the people of the world already recognized his strength. Most probably, he truly could become the fourth grand faction in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms based on his strength alone.
The words spoken by Che Hou to the Prison God Clan Leader also circulated through the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Inside the Heaven Vault, Qin Wentian gave the order telling members of the divine sect not to leave the sect. Che Hou might want to target them. Although he had no idea what Che Hou experienced, Qin Wentian guessed that the Che Clan was already finished.
In the Heaven Vault, within the floating palace, Purgatory appeared beside Qin Wentian and called out, “Big brother Qin.”
Purgatory was currently also at the Heavenly Deity Realm.
“Has everyone been summoned back to the Heaven Vault?” Qin Wentian stared at Purgatory’s beautiful face as he softly asked.
“Mhm.” Purgatory nodded her head. “Big brother Qin, isn’t it fine if we go after Che Hou? Given Qi Yu, Jun Mengchen and Little Rascal’s current strength, they should be strong enough to deal with him.”
Evidently, she felt that Qin Wentian was somewhat too overly cautious.
Qin Wentian gently smiled at Purgatory. His hand stretched out and gently patted her head, “The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms now is different from the past. Because of my carelessness, Little Ye could no longer come back. Now, I no longer wish to lose any of you. Che Hou is currently alone, it isn’t easy for us to deal with him. Yet, we can be considered a giant target for him. It’s better for us to wait in the Heaven Vault for him to come to us.”
“Will he come?” Purgatory asked.
“He will.” Qin Wentian nodded. “I guess that the Che Clan might no longer exist. Che Hou might shift his anger onto us because of this. Given what he said to the Prison God Clan Leader back then, he would come for sure!”
