Chapter 596: Gamble Everything

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Good stuff! It’s still alive! You can catch something so powerful alive!”

At Saturn’s military headquarters, Lin Liqiang looked at the Devil Marshal under his feet who struggled to even squirm but still maintained a rather tenacious life force. Lin Liqiang kept saying, “Seems like you have achieved great success in your divine dao.”

“Okay, good! Really good.” Lin Liqiang looked at the precious Devil Marshals’ bodies on the floor which one couldn’t buy even with golden mountains. He nodded continuously, “Yang Lie, please get ready. I will settle the things I have right now in my hands and then help you gamble with your life.”

“Okay!” Yang Lie glanced at Qin Fen next to him, and his life-gambling mentality was reinforced again. Without the new human being evolution method, it is impossible to fight with Qin Fen in the Great Ensemble.

“Me too.” Solomon patted Lin Liqiang’s shoulder, “Let me know which new human being type is suitable for me. I want to gamble too.”

“You?” Lin Liqiang looked at Solomon for a long time and said, “Then you have to give me some blood samples first, I will know only after studying it. The new human being system is very vast. I can say that up until now, I have only touched the initial threshold edge. It’s not that easy to completely understand what the new human being is all about.”

Qin Fen watched several of his young companions for a bit, then he quietly exited the room. The Great Ensemble is coming. Everyone’s minds were calm and stable, but they still had the desire to win. The new human being is indeed an amazing subject. If there is a new human being evolution method that suits me, Lin Liqiang would not keep it to himself. Since my old friend did not propose the new human being evolution direction to me, there is no need to ask questions. It’s good enough that I just wait patiently.

The upcoming Great Ensemble received great attention not only from Saturn’s military headquarters, but it also attracted most of the attention of other martial artists, even non-professional martial artists.

In the Federation, even if one was not a martial artist above the Meteor Level, one would also know about the Great Ensemble.

Since the emergence of Divine Beast martial artists and the Great Ensemble, the world’s most eye-catching event was no longer the former Olympic Games or the World Cup, but the Great Ensemble organized by the Divine Beast martial artists.

The Great Ensemble was going to be held in a few months’ time. As the news spreads, everyone became attracted to this event. In particular, after the news that the Great Ensemble might produce new Divine Beast martial artists were disseminated, the entire Federation became completely ecstatic.

People were wondering, Who will be the final winner of the Great Ensemble this time? Will it be the old Constellation warriors on Venus? Will it be the Heaven Emperor and the Ground Treasury on Saturn, who battled for several days for the Divine Beast martial artist’s title? Or will it be the group of young martial artists who emerged like comets?

Like Inferno, Elysium’s headquarters on Saturn had always been a very secretive place. In the past, this was also a way to evaluate a Divine Beast martial artist’s important abilities. If even his own nest could be found by others, this meant that his leadership ability was weak, and thus, he was not qualified enough to be called a Divine Beast martial artist.

Finding each other’s headquarters and launching an attack on it was also a test for martial artists to become a Divine Beast martial artist. In the past few years on Jupiter, because Elysium and Inferno’s headquarters were discovered by Azure Dragon, they had been destroyed in one fell swoop. Both of them were chased out of Jupiter to Saturn. The two pros were extremely ashamed of this. From then on, their hideout on Saturn became even more mysterious.

Today, at this mysterious Elysium headquarters, an uninvited guest came. He wore a long emerald robe and a pale gold belt around his waist. He had a wide forehead, sharp cheeks, a pair of shimmering tiger-like eyes, and sword-like eyebrows. It gave people an impression of unspeakable majesty.

In front of this auburn westerner, ordinary people had some kind of timidity, like the feeling of living people facing the God of Death.

The large Elysium headquarters’ living room was brightly lit. There were no high-tech lights here; only altar lamps which ignited with lamp oil. The reflection of various mirrors created a feeling of paradise on Earth.

The throne in this paradise was made of pure gold. An oriental man sat on the throne, wearing golden dragon cannon of the five-clawed golden dragon. Under the black eyebrows, a pair of dignified eyes emitted a superior and prestigious aura. There was a hint of a grand power that could overpower the world, which made everyone want to submit themselves to worship him.

The aura of power stopped halfway across the room. It met with the middle-aged westerner’s aura of power. He was wearing an emerald robe, standing in the main hall. When the two auras of power collided, it did not give a kind of earth-shattering effect. Instead, they were like two pieces of sticky candy, quickly sticking together.

“Ground Treasury brother, how have you been?”

The middle-aged man on the golden seat slowly opened his mouth. In one simple sentence, he revealed the true identity of the man who did not need to make a move, and just the aura of power alone overwhelmed Monkey and Yang Jian.

Ground Treasury! Inferno’s strongest martial artist. Behind him was a man with a complexion resembling the bottom of a pot, a slender figure, thick eyebrows, and huge eyes with obvious oriental features. A jade belt around his waist was embroidered with three small characters indicating his identity – Qin Guangwang!

Inferno’s strongest and second strongest man! Everyone has come to Elysium!

“Heaven Emperor brother, I believe you’ve been well since we last met.”

Ground Treasury looked up slightly at the Heaven Emperor who was sitting on the golden seat. In terms of auras of power, he did not give the impression of looking up at the person. It was more like he was looking at eye-level at the other party. The people whom Ground Treasury looked up to in this world could be easily counted with one hand, but Heaven Emperor was not qualified enough to have him look up to! At least, Ground Treasury thought so.

Heaven Emperor smiled without giving much concern to Ground Treasury’s aura of power. The two of them had not battled face-to-face before, but they were considered opponents who knew each other thoroughly. If they were to battle and kill for real, both of them would have an equal chance to be defeated.

“I wonder what Ground Treasury brother’s intention of coming here this time is?” Heaven Emperor leisurely walked down the high steps and stood in front of Ground Treasury. He looked at his opponent who was clearly a westerner but took the oriental mythology’s name as his title.

Ground Treasury slowly lifted his fair right palm that was like jade. In the blink of an eye, the fair palm was covered with a layer of mysterious emerald energy. His lips formed a very confident smile, “Would you be interested in a spar with me, Heaven Emperor? My Netherworld King palm has been lonely for a long time. I really want to witness the Heaven Emperor’s nine skies’ Revelation of Clear Skies palm.”

Jade Emperor didn’t show much surprise. Whether it was Xue Tian’s matter, Qin Fen’s matter, or the inferior rise of Saturn’s military headquarters’ young martial artists, he had heard about these major forces. At this time, even if Ground Treasury didn’t come to find him, he would have also looked for Ground Treasury for a talk.

Although both sides were deadly rivals, they also shared a common goal, which was to maintain the glory and status of the old pros! At the Great Ensemble, everyone was clear that the people who could really block Qin Fen, Xue Tian, ??Shang Guan Chuan Qi, and Young Hades were none other than the two of them.

Although Tagatha was strong and Qin Guangwang was fierce, they still seemed slightly inferior in their abilities to stop Qin Fen, Xue Tian, and the others who dared to visit the Divine Beast martial artists for sparring.

“Qin Guangwang...”

In the corner of the main hall, Tagatha slowly walked out. His huge body did not need to have too many movements to give people an indescribable pressure. Compared to the time at the concert, he seemed to have improved again.

“I heard that Qin Guangwang’s life-or-death palm is also one of the best. I wonder how it is compared with my Buddha’s palm?”

Qin Guangwang gently waved his sleeves and warm wind blew in the room! Although the Divine Beast martial artists had announced that they couldn’t have life-or-death battles, sparring was not restricted. If one really established their supremacy in the sparring, they would also have the advantage in terms of aura of power and psychology when they meet their opponent at the Great Ensemble in the future.

Needless to say, both men’s spirits were instantly locked on each other.

At this moment, an arbitrarily firm and fierce aura of power rushed into the room, like a brigade’s mobile armor driving on a full-power drive furnace while holding all the missiles.

“Lu Dongbin?” Yang Jian raised his eyebrows slightly and was surprised to see Lu Dongbin appearing in the main hall again after he had separated from Elysium in the past, “What are you doing here?”

“Looking for you! And you!” Lu Dongbin pointed his finger at both Yang Jian and Monkey, “I want to try my firm and fierce martial dao before the Great Ensemble!”

historical

“With you?” Yang Jian’s chuckled with a hint of disdain, but his pupils had shrunk to the size of a needle tip. This time, after many days, he could feel that Lu Dongbin’s strength had greatly improved!

Lu Dongbin had been known as the strongest among Elysium’s Eight Immortals and had also claimed to be the world’s first firm and fierce martial dao, but he was a lot worse than Nezha, let alone Yang Jian and Monkey.

However, Yang Jian found that Lu Dongbin’s surprising appearance today was far stronger and much more powerful! It was such an improvement that he could not look down on him! I wonder what circumstances caused this man’s strength to soar dramatically? This is a violation of the law of nature as his strength should not continue to soar.

Lu Dongbin was full of confidence as he looked at Yang Jian and Monkey, who was in the distance holding an unknown metal rod. Enzo Rota’s life-or-death pill is the best in the world! He wasn’t killed by Qin Fen that day, but rather, was saved by Qin Fen’s life-or-death pill. After witnessing Qin Fen’s firm and fierce tyrant and the world’s unparalleled mighty fist art martial dao, Lu Dongbin was actually reborn. He achieved Nirvana Evanescence and completely broke through the previous bottleneck. His strength has continued to rise without hindrance.

A rare battle that occurred once in a blue moon was quietly staged in Elysium’s headquarters.

At almost the same time, at the Earth’s military headquarters, Du Yu looked at the slightly older Snake King Du Hen, who had white hair at his temples, “Father, you want to participate in the Great Ensemble as well?”

“Yes.” Du Hen turned his back at Du Yu, looking at the endless setting sun in the sky, “I used to not be interested in the Great Ensemble, but this time, I must participate.”

“Why?” Du Yu couldn’t understand, “You taught me that in the absence of any winning chances, we need to use external force to achieve victory, or simply endure it! However this time, you have no chance of winning, even if you are Snake King, known as the strongest among the military headquarters!”

“Yes, I don’t stand half a chance of winning, but I still want to go.” Du Hen slowly turned his head. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his cold face, “I am Snake King, who is skilled in calculation, but I am also a soldier! Whether it’s Qin Fen or Xue Tian, ??although they are wearing military uniforms, the soldier’s blood does not really flow in their body! How can there be no true soldier from our military headquarters at the Great Ensemble!? Since the Lion is dead, then this time, I am going!”

“Foolish!” Du Yu took a step forward. For the first time, he really looked straight at his father who had been suppressing him for a long time, and he could never look up in front of him. He stared at Du Hen without compromising, “There is no point of you doing this!”

Du Hen stared at his son who was always suppressed by him throughout the years even though he could already take charge independently. His cold face was filled with happiness and compassion as he smiled, “You are mature now. Finally, you dare to look straight into my eyes. This makes me very happy and reassured. Even if any accidents happen to me at the Great Ensemble, there will be no big chaos in the military headquarters.”

“Father!”

“Son, don’t you understand why I want to do this?” Du Hen stared at Du Yu, “I want to gamble with Zhanpeng. Isn’t that kid always protecting Du Peng? He even abolished his martial arts twice for him. This makes me confused. I really can’t understand. Why did my most outstanding grandson, who has the strength and the chance to win the Divine Beast title, gamble everything for such a worthless thing? Brother? Does he really cherish this title so much? I am going to the Great Ensemble to gamble with Zhanpeng and kill Du Peng personally! I believe that even if Zhanpeng abolished his martial arts twice, he can still fight again! This time, I will not give Du Peng any chances! It’s up to me to break this hellish breed!”

“But father...”

“Are you afraid that I will lose?” Du Hen held his hands behind him, and the hazy Yin aura covered his two needle-tip-sized pupils. Staring coldly at Du Yu, he said, “If my grandson Du Zhanpeng is really outstanding to the point where he can make me, his grandfather, lose in the gamble, then that is his capability! I’ll kill Du Peng in exchange for the hate of Zhanpeng so that he can really stand up for the third time to become a Divine Beast martial artist! That is Du Hen’s, my final mission in this life! Since Zhanpeng is still alive, then I will pull him back from the wrong road!”

“Father... you should know how sensational Lin Liqiang’s so-called new human being study in today’s Federation is. You should also know how many pharmaceuticals, biological, and apex-level scientists of various disciplines madly flocked to Saturn to join Qin Fen’s so-called Dragon Hall due to the emergence of this new human being, new metal, new energy, and other technologies. Meanwhile, Du Peng is the first new human being, claiming to be the strongest Dragon Type new human being in this era...”

“New human being?” Du Hen gently smiled, “Yes, that’s really strong. However, for the sake of my former opponents and old friends, there are some things that I, Du Hen, have to be ready to risk everything for. Don’t forget, I am the Snake King Du Hen who can sacrifice anything in order to achieve my goal! Besides the new human being, there are insect warriors in this world...”

“Father, you...”

“I have seen Zhang Hao, and although I can’t be a monster like Young Hades, this should be enough.” Du Hen’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. The two big greenish-black tendons on his necks coiled on his wrinkled skin horrifyingly, “There must be a military figure in this grand event! I don’t care about Pandora, I want military glory!”

Du Yu retreated to the side silently. His father even gambled his life this time. He’s gambling on everything! I believe that many martial artists in the world are also betting on everything.

“Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!”

In the underground base of the Earth’s Founding Society, Young Hades, with his whole body’s blue veins showing, roared madly at the sky. He was delighted to see his body inserted with tubes flowing with brownish-green liquid, “Come on everyone! Come on! Qin Fen! Azure Dragon! Also, the constellation warriors who betrayed my father! I’m going to kill all of you and restore the glory of my father, White Tiger! Song Jia, I am willing to forsake everything for you! I want to win. I want to prove to you that I am the strongest man. The person who is the best match for you is me, not Qin Fen!”

In the huge Vermillion Bird palace on Mars, Vermillion Bird, who looked like a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old woman with long red hair, sat on the huge Vermillion Bird’s claws. A fiery red cheongsam contributed to her attractiveness. She quietly looked at the young man standing on the stage, straightening his waist and facing her.

Shang Guan Chuan Qi! He did not inherit Vermillion Bird’s red hair, but inherited his father’s black hair. His hair, which was split to the ratio of three to seven, gave an indescribable refreshing look. His fiery red eyebrows were slender and beautiful.

“You came back after all.”

“Yes, mother.” The pleasant voice of Shang Guan Chuan Qi echoed in the hall, “Just now, I defeated your Four Great Constellation Warriors: Fiery Tail Tiger, Fiery Wings Snake, Fiery Mouth Monkey, and Fiery Clan Pig. I want to challenge you to see how strong I am. This is my first time, I don’t know how strong I am.”

Vermillion Bird’s Divine Beast martial artist, Shang Guan Sheng Yu, squinted her beautiful eyes and carefully looked at her son. At that moment, she did not dare to recognize him.

Even with the best genes, such martial dao growth is too fast! How old is Shang Guan Chuan Qi this year? He has already defeated Mars’ Four Great Constellation Warriors? This time period is much shorter than the time I expected and speculated! I really don’t know what other magical experiences my son has had in life. Otherwise, there would never be such a strength.

“Do you want to challenge me?” Shang Guan Sheng Yu slightly lifted her legs, and the sides of the cheongsam exposed her slender, straight, and flexible legs. She slowly walked down from the high platform, “Not knowing how strong you are is a kind of self-confidence. I also have had this experience back in my days, and I admire your current state. My son, I hope that my spar with you this time will help you. When you are at the Great Ensemble...”

“Mother.” Shang Guan Chuan Qi showed his confident smile and looked up gently, “My opponents are only the current Divine Beast martial artists, Pandora’s Queen Bee, and the Heaven Emperor! In the Great Ensemble, I, Shang Guan Chuan Qi, will not have any opponents! Whether it’s the Monster Qin Fen, Blade of Fury Xue Tian, ??or Young Hades who has already lost once, they will not be my rivals! My goal is only the Divine Beast! This goal has never changed since I became sensible.”

Shang Guan Sheng Yu admired his son. This self-confidence is an indispensable trait to becoming a Divine Beast martial artist. Perhaps it seems arrogant in the eyes of others, but which Divine Beast in the world has no arrogant aura of power in their bones? Including Qin Fen and Xue Tian, who dared to kick Qilin’s mountain gate and destroy the Azure Dragon Hall, who is not arrogant?

“I really envy you, my son. You are born at one of the most splendid times.” Shang Guan Sheng Yu slowly smiled, “I don’t know how many years one needs to wait for this era. Shall we start? For the Great Ensemble’s half-year agreement, I won’t show any mercy.”

“Bring it on! Mother...” Shang Guan Chuan Qi’s sword-like eyebrows raised, “For the Great Ensemble, I have already gambled everything!”
