Nearby seventh ranks rushed over to the rip in the Skyward dao universe. A few eighth ranks further away also looked over. Even the Human King was surprised. What was the dao chess running away for?

He’d known that the treasure was nearby. But... seriously, what are you running for? It’s not necessarily safer outside, alright? No one knows that you’re in here and probably thinks that you’ve been taken away by someone.

The dao chess didn’t offer any explanations before it ran off! The rip immediately closed behind it.

The treasure teleported through the chaos universe in a flurry of spatial ripples. It immediately reverted to a dao universe when it left Skyward. The disturbance left by a traveling dao universe was enormous!

However, there were almost of powerhouses to be found in the four regions these days...

A group of heavyweights in the far distance sensed the commotion. Supreme Zhang looked in the relevant direction, as did the Sword Sovereign.

“Where is the dao chess going?”

What was it doing out in the open? What did it want to do?

The transportation ripples swiftly disappeared, but the lingering ripples of an eighth rank dao universe continued to oscillate.

“That’s... the direction of Dragon Region.” The Sword Sovereign followed the treasure’s trajectory. “Is the dao chess going to find Li Hao and the others?”

That was strange!

You can go anywhere you like at a time like this, but you choose Dragon Region. Apart from Dragon major world, every single one of its worlds is still there. Have you lost your mind?

And you’re causing such a fuss! Do you think those seventh ranks are blind?

Skyward, Red Moon, and Blazing Sun are safer choices. Dragon Region is the most dangerous. Going there...

The Sword Sovereign still elected to yell, “Don’t go there! It’s too dangerous!”

Not just for you, but for Li Hao as well if he’s hidden! You’re causing such a disturbance that you’ll expose them! Have you gone daft in all these years of being a weapon spirit?

The dao chess ignored the warning, or perhaps it didn’t hear it. It hurtled through the void. Being equipped with the ability of transportation to begin with, it traveled at an incredible pace. A dao universe was passing through the chaos to reach Dragon Region!

The development startled many Dragon powerhouses; they raised their heads to observe the commotion overhead.

Inside the transportation tunnel, the dao chess shadow manifested and it looked int the distance with a brilliant smile. Jointly attacking a seventh rank was alright...

Its smile began to freeze as it neared its destination. One, two, three, four...

Its entire body stiffened as it sent out its senses. I’m not stopping there, am I? I’m so fast that they can’t stop me, right? How many seventh ranks are there?

Ah, seven. And one of them’s dead, judging from the presence dissipating. So that means there were eight seventh ranks before?

This... isn’t where I’m stopping... right?

Its teleportation stopped in the blink of an eye. This was indeed where the final destination was. A stunned dao chess came into view. It gaped at Li Hao’s group.

The... hell... did you guys bring me here for?

“There’s no time to be wasted. Senior, kill chaos beasts!”

“......” The dao chess was still goggling when Li Hao dragged it away. They reappeared in front of a draconic powerhouse in the blink of an eye.

Li Hao charged out with his sword and a yell, “Get him! Today will decide if it’s a feast or a famine!”

“Kill!!” Void snarled. The two dao masters were equally crazed with bloodlust. All of them seemed utterly mad.

They needed to kill this dragon before the four other seventh ranks arrived! If not, they would have a tough time today!

“Make a move, senior!” Li Hao roared! The dao chess was so slow!

Fucking hell! This guy’s gotten elderly after being a treasure for so long! Didn’t I say I wanted you here to kill people?

The dao chess finally returned to its senses. “Why are there so many?!” it yelped.

You should’ve said so earlier! I wouldn’t have come if I’d known! It’s safer in Skyward’s dao universe, no one knew I was there!

But here, the ripples of my dao universe are so intense that everyone knows where I am!

There was no more time to think about this. Kill! I’m done for if I don’t kill chaos beasts. The dao chess immediately manifested and flung out endless squares, encircling the draconic powerhouse like a prison.

It had once been a ninth rank weapon. Although it was much declined, it could still erupt with formidable strength!

An eighth rank dao universe descended upon its target!

The dragon had thought that it was only facing the Silver Moon king, but a seventh rank had popped out of nowhere! How?! Where?! Teleportation?! How was teleportation possible through the chaos??

It was its first time learning of this possibility, and possibly the last.

Li Hao, Void, two dao masters, a dozen exalted emperors, and the dao chess...

Numerous heavyweights made their moves at the same time!

Thunderclouds materialized over Li Hao’s head. A chaos tribulation was about to descend.

The ashen dragon seventh rank returned to its primary form. It could take one opponent, but so many... and all of them flaring with the strength of a seventh rank... Since when could sixth ranks kill seventh ranks like this?!

“Save me!” he howled.

Four seventh ranks traveled through the void as fast as they could. They were almost there, but a sword sliced and a fist swung...

It was too late!

The four exalted emperors immediately came to a halt, frosty looks in their eyes. This was very, very bad. Two dragon seventh ranks had died today and more from Phoenix. The one from Phoenix didn’t matter, but the two dragons... they would all be in for it!

KABOOM!

The detonation rang through the void. Li Hao didn’t even know the dragon’s name, but it quickly followed in Long Xuan’s footsteps. It was the second dragon seventh rank to die and the fourth seventh rank of the region!

“You will not be getting away with this!” screamed the Phoenix master. “Kill them, hurry!”

The four exalted emperors shot into motion once more!

Two tigers, one elephant, and a mouse shining with light bore down ominously. They immediately arrived on the scene and saw how the dragon laid in pieces, his dao mark shattered. All of them wanted to rip the humans apart!

None of these humans would be making it out alive today!

......

As fast as the seventh ranks arrived, the dragon was still dead. The Dragon master didn’t even have time to send a message for this one. Perhaps he hadn’t realized another one of his own had died. Or perhaps he knew, but couldn’t come in person. Therefore, he didn’t react in the slightest.

The corpse of the dragon seventh rank was immediately swept into Silver Moon’s dao universe, as opposed to letting Void devour it. While it wouldn’t propel Silver Moon into seventh rank, it would fortify the world all the same.

Of the four chaos beast seventh ranks, three of them were masters of dao. Dao ripples shook the void and the chaos beasts blotted out the skies.

The two tigers were respectively black and white; they snarled ominously. The iridescent rat regarded the humans aloofly. Twin tusks jutted out of the elephant’s face and threatened to pierce through the void.

The dao chess found itself very innocent!

I’ve only just arrived and have no idea what’s going on. A dragon seventh rank is dead in the blink of an eye and here are four more. There’s also two already fighting nearby...

What the heck did I walk into?!

“The Silver Moon king?” The black tiger sent a threatening glare at Li Hao. “You’ve got some nerve to come to Dragon Region and slaughter exalted emperors!”

The four exalted emperors didn’t immediately make a move. They were probing the dao chess as the treasure had caused such a commotion in teleporting over. The four were able to identify the newcomer.

“The dao chess? Skyward’s imperial weapon?” snorted the black tiger. “This is a war between humans and chaos beasts. You are but a treasure. Are you involving yourself as well?”

The dao chess really was so innocent!

Would you believe me if I said I don’t want to be involved? You guys are all seventh ranks and chaos beasts are not beings to make enemies out of!

Even if I can stand against one and Li Hao take another, Void won’t be able to take one by himself. Those two dao masters are the same...

We can fight these chaos beasts, but it’ll be too hard! We’re also situated in the heartland of Dragon Region. We can fight, but the chaos beasts have seventh ranks! And a lot of them!

Once we’re locked in battle and they send another seventh rank, we’ll all go down together!

You made many calculations, Li Hao, but did you ever plan on how you’ll quickly triumph in a situation like this?

The dao chess had a migraine!

“All exalted emperors of Phoenix and the three worlds are to march into battle!” ordered the Phoenix master. “Execute these vermin!”

There were more than one hundred exalted emperors in Phoenix alone. There were plenty in the three other worlds too. There were roughly two hundred altogether, and more, if counting the outsiders.

A nest of ants could gnaw an elephant to death!

The Phoenix master quickly made a few deductions. A strong offense might not be able to swiftly take down the enemy. In that case, they would mob the humans!

How dare they be so bold in our territory!

Exalted emperor presences immediately manifested in the surroundings. There were only twenty on Thunder World. They were currently clustered uncertainly around the world gates. No one dared walk out, but no one retreated either. They stared fixedly at the situation.

Their hearts had almost jumped out of their chests when Li Hao killed the Phoenix elder and swiftly killed the dragon. Hope almost shone on them!

But it was extinguished just as swiftly. There were so many exalted emperors in the four worlds. Just the seventh ranks alone might overpower the Silver Moon king!

Although his group of sixth ranks were very strong, they only seemed to have one seventh rank. How could they stand against the enemy like this?

What a pity!
