Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Heaven and Earth Destroy Those Who Don’t Look Out for Themselves

Five guardians. Besides Nameless, there were four other Divine Spirits.

Nameless’s plan was simple: He wanted me to draw the attention of the four Divine Spirits so that he could help me seize the so-called Divine Dao Inheritance.

This task was far too difficult.

’Luring away the four Divine Spirits isn’t the issue. The only problem is how long I can hold out against them.’

Entering the Tomb of the Gods wasn’t what was frightening. The frightening part was luring away the four Divine Spirits.

Entering the Tomb of the Gods was a matter of life and death, but luring the four Divine Spirits away was almost certain death.

After thinking it over, Long Ao came up with an excellent idea. ’Thanks to Long Fu’s efforts, tens of thousands of Corpse Slaves have been refined. If I use their power to draw the attention of the four Divine Spirits, won’t I be able to stay out of it myself?’

He acted on the thought immediately. Long Ao would never trifle with his own life.

The simultaneous appearance of tens of thousands of Corpse Slaves startled the four Divine Spirits. None of them had any idea where these so-called Corpse Slaves had suddenly come from.

However, the four Divine Spirits didn’t dare to be careless in the slightest and immediately gave chase.

"Long Ao, what are you doing?"

"Senior, I’m here to help you."

"I don’t need your help. Just lure those four away."

"Senior, that’s not right, is it?"

Staring intently at Nameless, Long Ao’s expression turned cold. He cleared his throat and said, "Senior, I think I’d better help you."

"Get lost." Being an old fox, how could Nameless not see what Long Ao was thinking? The power of a Divine Spirit was immense; not even Long Ao would dare to face it head-on.

The more Nameless acted this way, the more certain Long Ao became of his suspicions.

’Nameless just wants to use me to escape the Tomb of the Gods and secretly take the eight hundred Divine Dao Inheritances with him. That way, he wins big, and I become the scapegoat.’

"Nameless, you’ve really got some nerve."

"Hmph. Long Ao, if a man does not look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him! I’ll still have eight hundred Divine Dao Inheritances and can create eight hundred Divine Dao Martial Artists. When that day comes, I will reign supreme. Who will dare to provoke me then? HAHAHAHA, HAHAHAHA!"

If a man does not look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him.

Long Ao didn’t have much to say about Nameless’s values. The saying itself wasn’t wrong, much like the principle that men die in pursuit of wealth, just as birds die in pursuit of food.

"Long Ao, if you don’t want to die, then do as I say. I can promise you that if you help me get out of here, I’ll give you ten Divine Dao Inheritances. How about it?"

Long Ao wasted no more words, answering with a backhanded slash of his saber.

The Blood-Drinking Mad Saber was completely different now. Fused with the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and one hundred and eight Divine Thunder Pearls, it unleashed a frenzied power that swept through the area, bearing down on Nameless with overwhelming force.

It was common knowledge that the nemesis of both souls and Divine Spirits was the Power of Thunder and Lightning. This was especially true for the Thunder Tribulation Power contained within the one hundred and eight Divine Thunder Pearls. Even Nameless wouldn’t dare let it envelop him; otherwise, he would be crippled, if not killed.

"Nameless, you shameless bastard!"

Long Ao’s voice thundered out. The four Divine Spirits, who had yet to eliminate all the Corpse Slaves, heard him. Their expressions changed, and they returned in an instant. Looking at Long Ao and Nameless, they immediately understood what had transpired.

The four Divine Spirits were no fools; they knew exactly what was going on. One of them said, "Nameless, trying to leave with the Divine Dao Inheritances... aren’t you being a little too shameless?"

"Long Ao, you won’t be leaving this place alive."

Nameless, of course, understood Long Ao’s intent. Because of this, he was absolutely livid, wishing he could kill Long Ao and have him torn apart by five horses.

’I’m well aware that with my current strength, I’m no match for Nameless in a one-on-one fight, even with the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber. That’s why I had no choice but to lure the four Divine Spirits here. This way, I might still have a fighting chance.’

"Nameless, you’re courting death!"

The four Divine Spirits advanced menacingly, completely ignoring Long Ao. In their eyes, his strength was so low that they could eliminate him with a flick of a finger.

For that reason, all four Divine Spirits shot toward Nameless.

In reality, among the thousand-plus Divine Spirits in the Tomb of the Gods, Nameless was the strongest. He wouldn’t fear any of them in a one-on-two fight, but even he would struggle to fend off four at once.

But things had already come to this. Nameless knew that unless he could kill these four and escape with all the Divine Dao Inheritances, the consequences would be dire if his superiors found out.

Nameless hated Long Ao to his very core. He’d had victory in his grasp, only for Long Ao to ruin everything.

Nameless had never imagined that Long Ao wouldn’t lure the four Divine Spirits away himself. Instead, he released tens of thousands of Corpse Slaves, which freed Long Ao up and gave him reason to be suspicious.

According to Nameless’s original plan, Long Ao would have personally lured away the four Divine Spirits. If Long Ao died, Nameless could have hidden the Divine Dao Inheritances and blamed everything on him.

And if, by some fluke, Long Ao survived, Nameless could have secretly "helped" him escape while taking the Divine Dao Inheritances for himself. Either way, he would have been the winner.

In this battle, Nameless wasn’t defeated by Long Ao, but by the Corpse Slaves.

In the blink of an eye, the five Divine Spirits were locked in a life-or-death battle. The four Divine Spirits’ goal was simple: kill Nameless and claim credit from their superiors.

Seeing the five Divine Spirits fighting, Long Ao was delighted.

An opportunity this rare was not one Long Ao was about to pass up. While the five Divine Spirits were occupied, he quietly approached the tombs of the Divine Spirits.

An ordinary Martial Artist who got close to the tombs would have been immediately attacked by over a thousand Divine Spirits. The consequences were easy to imagine. But Long Ao’s situation was different.

Long Ao was extremely cautious. He first drew out the Thunder Tribulation Power from his Blood-Drinking Mad Saber—the power from the one hundred and eight Divine Thunder Pearls—and formed it into a Qi Shield around himself. This way, the thousand-plus Divine Spirits didn’t dare to attack him.

Among the thousand-plus Divine Spirits, Long Ao didn’t dare touch any that were conscious—that would be suicide. So, he specifically chose the unconscious ones. These Divine Spirits had no offensive power. If he could take them all, not only could he perform Refinement on them to help himself break through to a higher Realm, but he could also enable his family and Sect to produce more Divine Dao Martial Artists.

Divine Dao Martial Artists were the foundation of a Sect. The more Divine Dao Martial Artists a Sect possessed, the stronger it was. If his Sect and family could produce even one Divine Dao Martial Artist, they could practically overwhelm the Four Great Forces.
