Chapter 1328: Chapter 473: You Overestimate Yourself
Zibaiqing’s whole body trembled, replace the Holy Clan? What bold words from Haotian God.
Can he achieve this? Zibaiqing was somewhat incredulous.
At this moment, what was his reason for saying such things to him? Did Haotian God forget that he also had contact with the Holy Clan?
Suspiciously staring at Haotian God, Zibaiqing suddenly realized, did the other party tell him this without fearing he’ll betray him?
There’s only one possibility—if he didn’t comply, the other might take action against him.
Realizing this, Zibaiqing felt apprehensive.
His face looked grim, shifting unpredictably.
Haotian God gazed at Zibaiqing with great interest, watching his reaction.
He knew that Zibaiqing’s mind was racing, surely pondering many things.
Haotian God wasn’t in a hurry, simply staring at Zibaiqing with an amused expression.
He did not fear Zibaiqing causing any trouble. At this moment, Chi Mingtian and Fei Chang both had their gazes fixed on Zibaiqing, imbued with murderous intent.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell the Holy Clan of your intentions?” Zibaiqing asked.
Haotian God slightly smiled and replied, “You won’t have the opportunity to tell the Holy Clan, even if you do, it wouldn’t matter.”
“Aren’t you afraid they’ll find out? Or do you think they won’t believe me?” Zibaiqing stared at Haotian God.
“Neither, they will believe you but will not take me seriously. The Holy Clan is naturally arrogant and doesn’t regard other beings. If you tell them my aim, they might find it interesting and won’t kill me immediately. Instead, they’d watch to see how far I can go. Am I right, Fei Chang?” Haotian God smiled lightly.
He was very familiar with the Holy Clan, having interacted multiple times.
Fei Chang’s expression remained unchanged. He nodded and said, “To the Holy Clan, all beings besides themselves are mere ants, even if given the chance and time, they aren’t afraid you could threaten them.”
Zibaiqing’s face showed sudden realization, it seems Haotian God understood the Holy Clan too well.
Thus, he truly wasn’t afraid of them knowing his ambitions.
Zibaiqing’s expression shifted unpredictably, still pondering.
Haotian God’s intentions were clear—either cooperate or be eliminated.
Suddenly, Zibaiqing smiled broadly, and said to Haotian, “You want me to join your ranks? Do you dare use someone like me? I could kill my own father, aren’t you afraid I’ll turn on you?”
Haotian God’s smile faded, he replied calmly, “I am confident I can control you. Until you reach the Creation Realm, you will never be a threat to me.”
“Heh heh.”
Zibaiqing laughed, he said calmly, “I refuse.”
At this moment, murderous intent erupted around Chi Mingtian and Fei Chang, enveloping Zibaiqing.
“I’ll give you one more chance.” Haotian God said.
He wasn’t afraid of Zibaiqing causing trouble. Three against one, killing Zibaiqing wasn’t difficult.
Zibaiqing laughed suddenly, his expression somewhat mocking, and said dryly, “Haotian, you underestimate others, which is why you always lose against the Heavenly Court.”
“What do you have for me to respect?” Haotian God asked with interest.
Zibaiqing didn’t answer; he split into two—a divine and a demonic form, coldly staring at Haotian God.
“Two Bodies of Gods and Demons. As long as they are not killed simultaneously, you can resurrect. But so what? I can kill both.” Haotian God said lightly, for him this was not difficult.
Zibaiqing smiled faintly, he said to Haotian God, “Do you really think you can kill me? Don’t forget, I am the son of the Purple Emperor, inheritor of the purest legacy, having lived from the last world to the present, do you think my surface appearance is all there is?”
Haotian God retracted his smile, staring at Zibaiqing.
From his words, he discerned the source of his confidence.
“And so?” Haotian God continued to ask.
Zibaiqing smiled faintly and said, “Do you think you’re the only one at the Creation Realm?”
In the next moment, the two bodies of Gods and Demons merged, releasing a breathtaking aura of the Creation Realm.
“I split into the two bodies and each reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Emperor, just one step away from the Creation Realm. Now, merging, I instantly step into the Creation Realm. Haotian, how will you kill me now?”
Thunder flashed in Zibaiqing’s eyes; his lips curled into a cold smile.
Haotian God’s expression grew somber, he said calmly, “I underestimated you.”
“No, you just overestimated yourself.” Zibaiqing sneered.
They locked eyes, an exchange of gazes erupted恐ètre ripples in the void, caused by the intensity of their gaze.
“Since this is the case, we could collaborate. I don’t ask you to be my subordinate, but we can join forces to take down the Heavenly Court, then confront the Demon King and the Three Pure Ones. As long as the Three Pure Ones are suppressed, the Three Realms would be under our control, founded to develop forces to oppose the Holy Clan.” Haotian God swiftly adapted and changed his plan.
But, Zibaiqing merely sneered indifferently, saying, “I don’t wish to collaborate with you; it always feels like dancing on the edge of death.”
“Are you thinking of turning against the alliance?” Haotian God’s face darkened.
“Right, I have no need to join forces, but I can promise you that if the Heavenly Court wants to destroy you, I might save you.” Zibaiqing said calmly.
“Hm, unnecessary.” Haotian God laughed coldly.
Even without Zibaiqing, there were two Heavenly Emperors and his own power, not fearing the Heavenly Court.
Zibaiqing was about to leave when Haotian God said, “You better not lead the Holy Clan here. Otherwise, even if you’re at the Creation Realm, you might not survive. Don’t presume the Three Pure Ones aren’t watching the Three Realms.”
Zibaiqing chuckled coldly, turned, and left.
“Your Majesty, are you just letting Zibaiqing go?” Chi Mingtian asked with some reluctance.
In his view, Zibaiqing indeed posed a huge threat, one better eliminated than left alone.
Haotian God chuckled lightly and said, “Why kill him? Let Zibaiqing stand at the forefront, would that not be better? This way, we could escape the watchful eyes of the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Court, doing what we intend to do.”
“How does Your Majesty know Zibaiqing will be under strong scrutiny, shifting the Heavenly Court’s attention?” Fei Chang suddenly asked.
“Because I’ll notify the Heavenly Court.” Haotian God smiled slightly.
“Your Majesty’s plan?” Chi Mingtian frowned.
Haotian God’s eyes carried a depth, he said casually, “No one can fully plan everything from start to finish; true success lies in quick adaptation.”
Adaptation is indeed the best strategy.
