Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1176: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, While the Oriole Waits Behind

In the most fiercely cruel battlefield of combat.

The strength of Heavenly Dao’s will has, at least, doubled compared to before.

The combat power of the Heavenly Dao Puppets has soared as well.

At first, Yang Tianji, Xu Tiandao, Long Chen, Luo Qingyi, Master Legs, and Little Phoenix were all able to hold off the Heavenly Dao Puppets.

But now... they are all in grave danger, barely able to withstand the pressure.

Ye Chen’s eyes are like two thick seas of blood.

Anger.

Discontent.

Determination.

He is struggling to persist with everything he has.

”Break for me!”

Another loud roar.

A sword strikes down with force.

”Boom!”

The Celestial Dao Cage is finally split open again.

Ye Chen finally sees his mother once more.

Inside the Celestial Dao Cage.

Yun Ying’s beautiful yet haggard features are stained with tears.

”Chen’Er, go!”

Yun Ying softly commands.

Her power sweeps out through the crack in the Celestial Dao Cage, wrapping around Ye Chen, trying to send him away.

This scene.

Ye Chen did not expect it.

Having paid such a great price.

Mother... would choose such an option...

But just at that moment, a loud laugh rings out.

”Want to leave? You can stay inside as well!”

A figure rushes over.

It is -...

Wan Qianjue from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect!

His momentum is overwhelming.

Divine power surges, mighty and vast.

With a palm strike, the violent divine power strikes Ye Chen, pushing Ye Chen into the Celestial Dao Cage.

Immediately after.

Wan Qianjue’s hands swiftly form seals.

The Celestial Dao Cage closes again.

He laughs aloud, looking at the Celestial Dao Vortex in the sky, saying, ”Heavenly Dao, as proven, I am more capable than the envoy you previously chose!”

The cold and indifferent voice of Heavenly Dao’s will follows: ”Wan Qianjue, once today’s matter is settled, you will be the new Celestial Dao Divine Envoy.”

At this moment.

Yang Tianji, Xu Tiandao, Long Chen, Luo Qingyi, Master Legs, and Little Phoenix also retreat from the battlefield, gathering together.

While eight Heavenly Dao Puppets hover behind Wan Qianjue.

”The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Unexpectedly, despite your efforts to accomplish for Ye Chen, ultimately, it all ends in my hands, hahaha!”

Wan Qianjue laughs.

Xu Tiandao’s gaze is icy, shouting angrily: ”Wan Qianjue, your true form finally dares to come out!”

Wan Qianjue stares at Xu Tiandao: ”Xu Tiandao, oh Xu Tiandao, today’s situation, honestly, you surprise me the most. I didn’t expect you would survive from the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins and even step into the Divine Realm, but... it’s still not enough. You will all face death along with Ye Chen.”

And I will serve as the new Celestial Dao Divine Envoy, favored by Heavenly Dao’s power.

My clone will roam the Celestial Burial Sea, unmatched, hahaha!”

”Wan Qianjue!”

At this moment, another angry roar sounds.

A brawny red-haired man blasts over.

Wan Qianjue looks at this person, coldly smirking, saying: ”Remember, call me Divine Envoy Sir!”

”Ling Ba, from now on, Wan Qianjue stands above you!” Heavenly Dao’s will also speaks at this moment.

Ling Ba was the name of the previous Celestial Dao Divine Envoy.

Heavenly Dao’s will speaks, and although he is unwilling, he does not dare to resist, biting his lip, bowing to Wan Qianjue, and then standing obediently behind Wan Qianjue.

”Boom!”

The ocean trembles, and the Ancient Heaven-Devouring Kun transformed into a man shoots out from the water, standing alongside Xu Tiandao and the others.

Four Seas Beast Kings, Battling Monk, Chi Mutian also follow suit.

”So many come to die for a mere Ye Chen, even the Four Seas Beast Kings and the Ancient Heaven-Devouring Kun, and even Dragon and Phoenix clans come, today, I, Wan Qianjue, can finally let loose and fight a grand battle, slaughter to my heart’s content!”

Under Wan Qianjue’s control.

The eight Heavenly Dao Puppets behind him blast out.

”Ling Ba, you go deal with Xu Tiandao!”

Wan Qianjue specifically commands Ling Ba to take action.

The great battle resumes.

Wan Qianjue looks at the Celestial Dao Vortex in the sky, saying: ”Please descend the Heavenly Dao baptism!”

His true form is already strong enough, with potent divine power.

But... his gaze is filled with intense heat, clearly, the so-called Heavenly Dao baptism holds great benefits.

A glow spills from the Celestial Dao Vortex, falling upon Wan Qianjue.

This is the baptism of the Heavenly Dao.

Bathed in the Heavenly Dao baptism, Wan Qianjue laughs incessantly, his aura climbing rapidly, his life form transforming!

At this time.

Inside the Celestial Dao Cage.

Extremely weak Ye Chen uses all his strength just to remain standing.

The divine power has returned to his apertures.

The divine armor, Law Battle Armor, Eternal Golden Body have all dissipated.

His body is covered in blood, his spirit exhausted, breath weak and chaotic.

In front of him.

Yun Ying, with her full head of white hair, an exquisitely beautiful yet incredibly haggard appearance, is full of tears, reaching out, her fingers trembling, wanting to gently stroke Ye Chen’s face, yet afraid... fearing this is all a dream, that it will shatter upon a touch.

Ye Chen takes a deep breath.

Kneels.

Bows.

”Mother, I am unfilial, I came too late!”

Ye Chen’s voice is choked.

Yun Ying’s emotions completely erupt as she steps forward, hurriedly helping Ye Chen up, saying: ”Chen’Er, my child... it’s my fault, I’m sorry to you and your father...”

”Mother, now is not the time to say these things, let’s go, I’ll take you out!”

The myriad emotions in Ye Chen’s heart are immediately suppressed, he draws on his strength again, ready to use the divine power again, intending to break the Celestial Dao Cage from inside!

”Chen’Er, you can’t use that power anymore, or you’ll die!” Yun Ying holds onto Ye Chen, saying: ”Wait a bit longer, when Starfall into the Sea happens, the Celestial Dao Cage will break without effort!”

Ye Chen’s gaze flickers, saying: ”Mother, you know about Starfall into the Sea too? What is going on here?”

This sentence was told to him by the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin.

But... Ye Chen realizes his mother also knows...

Yun Ying: ”Chen’Er, Starfall into the Sea, Heavenly Dao muddles, this is originally a plan, a plan involved with the last era, someone wants to light up Human Dao Light here.”

Ye Chen: ”Mother... did you also participate in this plan?”

Yun Ying: ”Accurately speaking, a certain accident years ago, traces of Human Dao entered my body... but I can’t use that power, and I don’t even know what that power is like.”

Ye Chen’s expression is tense, saying: ”Mother, will lighting up Human Dao Light pose a threat to you?

Yun Ying shakes her head, saying: ”I’m not sure either...”

Ye Chen grits his teeth, saying: ”If lighting up Human Dao Light poses a threat to your safety, then... I’ll do everything to stop the lighting of Human Dao Light!”

He understands very well the importance of Human Dao’s power.

Counting today, it’s already the tenth era.

Countless human race powerhouses have charged forward, planning and scheming.

The power of Human Dao is also the greatest obstacle for the Divine Race to conquer this world.

But...

No matter how important, to Ye Chen, it is not as important as those around him.

If lighting up Human Dao Light requires sacrificing his mother or anyone around him.

His choice is only one.

Which is to protect those around him!

One can fight for the greater plan, for the righteousness battle, but, among the human race, only those beside him matter the most!
