Chapter 1567 - The Celestial Thearch’s Difficult Choice

Chapter 1567: The Celestial Thearch’s Difficult Choice
Of course, following the initial surge of rage, everyone drew a sharp intake of breath.
The enemy they were facing was even more terrifying than they had imagined!
This was the Heavenly Earth God!
All of them knew what this title entailed.
From the information that they had gathered from the higher-ups in the Heavenly Human Tribe, there six paramount Heavenly Gods consisting of Heaven, Earth, Ocean, Life, Light, and Darkness. All of them represented the paramount will of the Heavenly Dao, and they also possessed the most fundamental powers of the Heavenly Dao, which in turn gave them the power to bestow powers of the Heavenly Dao upon other living beings.
For example, Lan Xiaoni’s power of water was bestowed upon her by the Heavenly Sea God.
There were two factions among the representatives of the Heavenly Dao, one of which was the radical faction, which championed the idea of exterminating all living beings on the entire continent, while the other was the more moderate faction, which proposed that destroying just the human race was enough.
The leader of the Heavenly Human Tribe was the Heavenly Light Goddess, who was a member of the moderate faction.
Aside from Light, Ocean and Earth were also paramount Heavenly Gods who were part of the moderate faction.
How could anyone remain calm now that one of the paramount Heavenly God, the Heavenly Earth God, had appeared before them?
An Lin’s courage to face this enemy with the help of the Ancient Dragon Empress instantly vanished. He turned toward the youth in linen garments in the distance.
Chen Chen! Let’s swap opponents!

Chen Chen:
…

He hesitated momentarily before tossing a ball of white light toward the Celestial Thearch.

You possess an aptitude that is not inferior to mine, but in a battle against the heavens, you’re just a useless piece of trash. If you want everything to live, then use it.
He pointed at the ball of white light before his body disappeared and reemerged beside An Lin.
The Celestial Thearch stared blankly at the ball of light before him.
What was this thing? Why was Chen Chen giving it to him?
Even though he didn’t know what this thing was, he could clearly sense the extremely pure and abundant heaven crushing intent emanating from within.
It was quite clear that this ball of light contained some sort of essence of the Heaven Crushing Sect.

No… I’m a member of the Heaven Mending Sect, how could I accept this gift? This is clearly a core object of the Heaven Crushing Sect!
The Celestial Thearch knew that if he was to accept this thing, it would be the equivalent of him defecting toward the Heaven Crushing Sect…
The enemy was trying to use a Trojan Horse tactic to bring him down!
Black Spirit Snake and White Spirit Snake, who were also in Nuwa’s camp, also turned toward the Celestial Thearch, curious about what his decision was going to be.
They were naturally aware that this was something very important, but they were not going to influence the Celestial Thearch’s decision. There were pros and cons regardless of what decision he made, so he would have to make the decision for himself.
Chen Chen faced the Heavenly Earth God with a calm expression. Even though he wasn’t doing anything and looked extremely mundane, in the eyes of all of the surrounding mighty figures, he was a man who stood at the pinnacle of the heavens.
In comparison, the Celestial Thearch was almost no match for even the most ordinary of the Heavenly Gods.
A conflicted expression appeared on the Celestial Thearch’s face.
At this moment, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were already charging toward the Heavenly Mountain God.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was also engaging the Heavenly Metal God in battle. She was venting her rage against the Heavenly Earth God upon the Heavenly Metal God, thereby allowing her to unleash power several times more terrifying than her prior output!
Heavenly God Jordan knew that he had to fight as well. However, he didn’t have to use his ninth divine halo. Now that all of the representatives of the Heavenly Dao were here, including the Heavenly Earth God, the outcome of this battle was already decided.
All he would have to do was to hold off those Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures.
With this in mind, Heavenly God Jordan looked up at the Celestial Thearch, Black Spirit Snake, and White Spirit Snake with an expression of assured victory on his face.
The Celestial Thearch was extremely pissed off by that expression.
What was that expression supposed to mean?
Was he just a bug that could be easily crushed in Heavenly God Jordan’s eyes?
Black Spirit Snake and White Spirit Snake had already charged toward Heavenly God Jordan.
Heavenly God Jordan didn’t want to engage in a battle to the death. All he would have to do was to not lose. As such, he activated only six divine halos and adopted guerilla warfare tactics, upon which he was able to easily hold off his opponents.
The Celestial Thearch considered a lot of things in this short span of time. He looked at the alluring ball of light beside him, from which extremely profound heaven crushing true intent was emanating forth, as if it was going to destroy the heavens.

I am the second in command of the Heaven Mending Sect, and I refuse to turn my back on my dao. However, it is important to know thy enemy and know thy self in order to secure victory in all battles. I am accepting this thing so that I can get a better understanding of the Heaven Crushing Sect, which would help me defeat them in the future!

The Celestial Thearch justified his reasoning to himself before taking a deep breath.
He extended a hand to absorb the ball of light!
Paramount heaven crushing true intent surged into the Celestial Thearch’s mind like a tidal wave.
A paramount voice shocked his heart and mind, as if it were the voice of the Great Dao.
Heaven and earth are eternal, but not immune to destruction. The Heavenly Dao has an infinite lifespan, but it is not invincible. Anything could become the Heavenly Dao and take its place. It could be an unfathomably powerful mighty figure, or the most mundane blade of grass, or the most insignificant speck of dust…

The Celestial Thearch accepted the immense amount of information, of which some were about the Heavenly Dao. However, the majority of it was on how to crush the heavens and take its place.
This was an almost irresistible temptation!
If he was to succeed, he would reach a state that no living being had ever reached.
It had to be said that the Celestial Thearch was extremely tempted for a split second. He wanted nothing more than to run to Chen Chen and ask him what the final step required to crush the heavens was!
However, his dao heart was extremely resolute, and he was able to regain control over his mind before carefully digesting all of the Heaven Crushing Techniques.

Her Majesty Nuwa did not prohibit us from attacking the Southern Heavenly Gate, which means that the Heavenly Human Tribe and the Heavenly Gods are obstacles to the Heaven Mending Sect as well…

As such, I would not be turning my back on my dao during this battle.

The Celestial Thearch’s aura instantly transformed from its ethereal and profound state to a paramount aura that threatened to break through the heavens!

I’m going to slay the gods today!

The Celestial Thearch materialized a cloud and mist sword, and a paramount power fell from the heavens upon the sword.
He was borrowing the power of the heavens!
Bam!
His body instantly broke through a hundred times the speed of sound as it hurtled toward Heavenly God Jordan at an extreme speed.
Heavenly God Jordan remained unfazed and snapped his fingers nonchalantly, upon which the blue divine halo around his waist created an impenetrable barrier before him.
Whoosh!
The sword of cloud and mist crashed down upon the barrier.
The blue barrier imbued with the will of the heavens began to crack open, but it was still able to hold on. Just as Heavenly God Jordan was about to stage a calm and collected retreat, a burst of terrifying heaven crushing true intent exploded from the sword blade!
Boom!
The barrier shattered.
Heavenly God Jordan’s pupils contracted drastically as an expression of incredulity appeared on his face. He was not expecting the Celestial Thearch to suddenly become such a proficient user of the Heaven Crushing Techniques!
The sword was too fast for him to evade!
The sword blade fell like lightning before tearing through Heavenly God Jordan’s body, sending white blood splattering through the air.
The Celestial Thearch’s calm expression was imbued with supreme heaven crushing intent.
He was borrowing the power of the heavens to crush the dao of the heavens!
