Chapter 2187 - 2179: Arrival at Outer Heaven

"I hope so," said the Giant Kun Country Lord, nodding. "However, although we’ve made many preparations for the Thunder Origin Divine Tree, the Thirty-three Heavens Tribe must have also made quite a few preparations, so it’s best to be careful when the time comes."

Their main target this time was the Thunder Origin Divine Tree; everything else was secondary.

"I’ve heard that the Emperor Zhan of the Mystic Dragon Heaven Kingdom seems to greatly admire Huang Xiaolong," spoke Terror Country Lord Dong Cheng, shifting his tone.

The Giant Kun Country Lord smiled indifferently, "It’s nothing more than the Mystic Dragon Heaven Kingdom. If that old Emperor Zhan doesn’t know better, I don’t mind burying him in the Outer Heaven."

...

Two days later, Huang Xiaolong met up with the masters of the Divine Might Kingdom, and without stopping, they continued heading toward the Outer Heaven.

With the addition of the Divine Might Kingdom’s masters, there were over twenty people in total, just fitting atop the Golden Pig, neither too wide nor too narrow.

On the way, Huang Xiaolong kept himself busy, closing his eyes to comprehend the Great Way, delving into the mysteries of heaven and earth.

With both the Holy Sovereign Country Lord and the Divine Might Country Lord controlling the Treasure Golden Pig, Huang Xiaolong had no worries about any incidents occurring.

The journey was uneventful.

Several days later, as they drew closer to the Outer Heaven, the number of Heavenly Road masters they encountered gradually increased.

Obviously, these Heavenly Road masters had also received news that the prohibition power of the Thirty-three Heavens Gate was weakening, and they were rapidly heading to the Outer Heaven Space.

These powerful ones were all astonished upon seeing the Treasure Golden Pig, for indeed, using a pig as a means of flight was unprecedented.

When these powerful individuals recognized the Holy Sovereign Country Lord and the Divine Might Country Lord on the Golden Pig, they hurriedly avoided them in panic, keeping a considerable distance.

Of course, some recognized the Holy Sovereign Country Lord and the Divine Might Country Lord, but not everyone did.

"Look, that Golden Pig is hilarious! I’ve seen countless flying mounts or spaceships, but I’ve never seen a pig used as an aircraft!" A young girl of about seventeen or eighteen pointed to Huang Xiaolong and the others seated on the Treasure Golden Pig, laughing softly, "Too funny!"

Beside the girl were more than a dozen female disciples, all wearing matching white robes, each carrying identical black longswords.

"Miss, it seems they are from the Holy Sovereign Kingdom and Divine Might Kingdom," said a maid behind the girl.

"Oh, Holy Sovereign Kingdom? Divine Might Kingdom?" The girl was surprised, then laughed, "The people from the Holy Sovereign Kingdom and Divine Might Kingdom are riding pigs now? It’s too funny!"

Even after learning they were from the Holy Sovereign Kingdom and Divine Might Kingdom, the girl continued to mock without any concern, clearly not taking them seriously.

The Holy Sovereign Country Lord and the Divine Might Country Lord glanced suspiciously at the group accompanying the girl.

"Master, they seem to be from the Sword Clan," the Holy Sovereign Country Lord transmitted to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong opened his eyes and looked at the girl.

On the Heavenly Road, besides numerous heavenly countries, there were many ancient clans. The Thirty-three Heavens Tribe was one of them, ranking at the top among the ancient clans, with the Sword Clan just beneath.

Although the Sword Clan’s strength was not as great as the Thirty-three Heavens Tribe, it was not much weaker.

The Sword Clan’s disciples were said to be born with a Sword Bone and Sword Heart!

Every disciple of the Sword Clan was a sword expert.

While Huang Xiaolong observed the girl, she was also sizing up Huang Xiaolong, but his gaze made the girl somewhat dissatisfied, feeling as if he could see right through her.

"Hey, you, who are you?" she shouted, pointing at Huang Xiaolong. "If you keep staring at me, I’ll gouge out your eyes!"

It was terribly domineering.

Huang Xiaolong smiled nonchalantly, "What’s wrong? Are you so ugly that no one is allowed to look?"

The girl was incensed, her chest heaving. She was the Sword Clan’s first beauty, a top-tier beauty, adored by the male disciples in her clan, and no one had ever dared call her ugly.

"You, take this—one strike!" she shouted, swinging her longsword, releasing rolling sword qi sweeping away layers of chaotic qi, slashing towards Huang Xiaolong.

The sword qi was astonishing, daunting even for ordinary high-level Sovereigns to face head-on, but Huang Xiaolong, seeing this, gently flicked his fingers, dispersing the intimidating sword qi.

"What’s wrong, haven’t eaten yet? Your strength is so small, even your sword qi is all soft," Huang Xiaolong remarked casually.

The girl was even more enraged, her pretty face turning blue.

"Buaye Sword Formation!" she cried, her figure flickering, and the women behind her positioned themselves around her, forming a sword array in the blink of an eye.

The women’s swords swung out, sending sword qi soaring heavenward, brilliant cold light dazzling a billion miles.

Then, the girl suddenly thrust her sword towards Huang Xiaolong.

The girl transformed entirely into a longsword, leaving only that ray of sword light between heaven and earth.

The masters of the Holy Sovereign Kingdom and Divine Might Kingdom were astonished by the sword light.

The Ayeh Sword Formation was one of the Sword Clan’s major killing arrays, said to be feared even by the Thirty-three Heavens Tribe.

However, just as the sword light approached, Huang Xiaolong reached out, pinching the light between his fingers, revealing the girl’s startled form. The girl was panicked; this Ayeh Sword Formation had slain countless heavenly beasts and powerful ones, rarely could old-generation masters withstand it, yet Huang Xiaolong had caught it between his fingers!

With a twist of his fingers, the girl’s longsword snapped into several sections, simultaneously struck by immense force, sending her tumbling back.

"Miss!" The other maids, seeing this, scrambled to catch her.

"Ayeh Sword Formation, but only so," remarked Huang Xiaolong indifferently.

The girl spat out blood, either from anger or injury by Huang Xiaolong.

"Let’s go," Huang Xiaolong said to the Holy Sovereign Country Lord and the Divine Might Country Lord, closing his eyes and resuming his cultivation.

The two kings complied, steering the Treasure Golden Pig into the void.

"Chase them!" The girl shouted furiously as Huang Xiaolong and his party departed.

However, the maids hesitated.

"Miss, he’s not someone we can provoke; we should let it go," advised a maid. "It’s rumored that recently, on the Heavenly Road, there’s a peerless genius named Huang Xiaolong, who’s too much for even Terror Country Lord Dong Cheng, and the Holy Sovereign Country Lord considers him the master; it’s highly likely this is him!"

"What?!" The girl was shocked, having been closed off in the clan, diligently honing her swordsmanship, seldom caring about matters outside, thus unaware of recent happenings on the Heavenly Road.

Still, although not concerned with external matters, she knew of Terror Country Lord Dong Cheng.

"Even Terror Country Lord Dong Cheng is overmatched by Huang Xiaolong?" The girl was incredulous, "Surely, it’s a rumor?"

"Shouldn’t be a rumor; word has spread throughout the Heavenly Road, and many superpowers are aware," replied a maid.

The girl watched the direction of Huang Xiaolong’s disappearance, her beautiful eyes flickering uncertainly.

Another ten days passed.

As they sped along, Huang Xiaolong finally glimpsed the legendary Outer Heaven from afar.

Before them, amidst the ferocious chaos qi, a boundless space entirely filled with thunder floated, streaks of lightning like flood dragons and ancient fierce beasts, their destructive power disquieting.

Billions of miles from the Outer Heaven Space, many powerful ones had already gathered; Huang Xiaolong’s eyes swept over, spotting Terror Country Lord Dong Cheng.
