Chapter 870: Four-Armed Divine Luo

Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie quickly returned to the sect, securing their spots for the mission in record time.

“We actually got signed up!” Jian Wujie exclaimed with excitement.

“This mission has strict requirements; only disciples blessed with great fortune and luck can apply.”

“Out of the entire sect, only about ten meet the criteria, and we’re two of them,” Han Feiyu said with a grin.

If there’s one thing Han Feiyu is known for, it’s his incredible fortune. It’s practically written all over him.

Everyone in the sect knows that Han Feiyu is the luckiest and wealthiest among the disciples.

“The Tianyun Beast is probably what Elder Xu is after,” Jian Wujie remarked.

“Once we get the Tianyun Beast, things are bound to get weird,” Han Feiyu said, recalling the strange techniques Xu Yuexian had been studying in the Sutra Pavilion. Just the names of those techniques sounded unsettling.

“As long as Elder Xu doesn’t drag us into her schemes, we’ll be fine,” Jian Wujie joked.

The chosen disciples were instructed to gather at the dojo below the main peak.

Xiong Li, Li Lei Hu, Han Feiyu, Jian Wujie, and Shadow Spike—five disciples in total—were selected for the mission.

“Senior Brother, when are we heading out?” Li Lei Hu asked.

“We’ll wait for Peak Master Xu to arrive, then we’ll depart together on the Universe Ship,” Xiong Li replied.

Xiong Li had been chosen for the mission because capturing the Tianyun Beast required a body refinement expert, and his strength would ensure the beast wouldn’t be harmed.

“Why isn’t Senior Brother Qian with you?” Han Feiyu asked, noting that the two were usually inseparable.

“He’s still in the Star Realm hunting the Blood Demon. He won’t be joining us anytime soon,” Xiong Li explained.

Just then, the ground beneath them trembled slightly.

They looked up to see a massive crystal wolf beast, standing three meters tall, outside the dojo.

Xu Yuexian sat cross-legged on its head.

“Now that everyone’s here, let’s set off together~” Xu Yuexian said, gazing down at them from atop the wolf.

The disciples could feel the Great Ascension stage aura radiating from the crystal wolf beast. They were puzzled—wasn’t this wolf just a pup not long ago?

“I used time acceleration to speed up its growth for the Tianyun Beast mission,” Xu Yuexian explained with a smile.

“The Universe Ship is waiting at the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake. Follow me,” Xu Yuexian said. The crystal wolf beast leaped into the air, soaring into the sky before teleporting directly to the edge of the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake.

The group exchanged glances, then followed the spatial fluctuations to teleport after her.

…………

In the star region, the Ten Thousand Star Ship raced toward the Feiyu Realm.

Onboard the ship, a four-armed demon, his powers sealed, stared out at the vast expanse of stars with a look of humiliation.

“Such a vast world exists beyond my own! How can there be beings powerful enough to suppress me so easily?” the four-armed demon muttered bitterly.

“Why couldn’t we four-armed demons have more time? Just another 5,000 years—no, even 3,000 years—and I could have defended my clan.”

The Four-Armed Divine Luo was once the strongest of the four-armed demons. Just as he was about to embark on a grand plan to unify his chaotic world…

A group of powerful beings, known as the human race, suddenly appeared in their world.

At first, the strongest among them could barely match him.

Then, that group of powerful beings retreated, and he didn’t pay much attention to it. Little did he know, years later, a stronger existence arrived.

The Four-Armed Divine Luo had planned to charge alongside his clan to perish with those human warriors, defending the honor of the four-armed demon race.

But who would have thought, when he gathered the strongest in his clan to launch an attack, that one human with a profound aura would merely extend a hand.

In that instant, he felt the sky fall; he and his kin were effortlessly suppressed by that human powerhouse.

“Come back with me and serve a strong being, and your entire clan will survive.”

“Otherwise, there’s no need for the four-armed demon race to exist.”

“Whether your clan lives or dies is all in your choice.”

The indifferent gaze of the human powerhouse made the Four-Armed Divine Luo realize that, in the eyes of that human, he was merely an ant and had no power to choose.

In the end, the human extracted twenty thousand of the highest cultivation members from the four-armed demon race and boarded the Giant Ship, escaping that world.

Because his powers were sealed, he posed no danger. As the leader of the four-armed demon race, he could wander in the public area of the Ten Thousand Star Ship.

A higher-ranked elder from the Elder Council approached the Four-Armed Divine Luo.

“I saw your expression earlier; you seem somewhat unconvinced,” the higher-ranked elder said with a smile.

“No, no! I was just lamenting my unfortunate timing,” the Four-Armed Divine Luo quickly replied. With his clan’s lives now in the hands of the humans, he no longer had his previous aura of dominance.

“Let me tell you, the one who suppressed you with a single hand is Elder Number One of our Elder Council, named Ming Kong.”

“The strong being he wants you to serve is the mightiest in the Feiyu Realm, a being of great compassion,” the higher-ranked elder continued with a smile.

“Enslaving us is considered compassion?” the Four-Armed Divine Luo couldn’t help but ask.

“You’re still unconvinced? Let me tell you about something the human race encountered not long ago.”

“There’s a realm called Star Realm, where a supreme being…” The higher-ranked elder calmly recounted what had happened to the humans in Star Realm.

Though his tone was casual, it caused the Four-Armed Divine Luo to break into a cold sweat.

With a fearful expression, he asked, “Without any hatred, the Blood Demon clan directly devoured an entire realm of humans?!” His tone was filled with horror.

“Exactly, because at that time, the Blood Demon clan was strong, and the human race was weak.”

“Later, our strongest in the Feiyu Realm accidentally teleported to Star Realm, angered, and annihilated three supreme Blood Demons, then killed all Blood Demon clan members above the Core Formation stage.”

“Now, we in the Feiyu Realm are working together to eliminate the remaining Blood Demons,” the higher-ranked elder said gently.

“If the Blood Demon clan was so treated, then for the four-armed demon race, who are even less than ants before the humans, being enslaved isn’t a sort of happiness?” the higher-ranked elder pressed.

“I understand now,” the Four-Armed Divine Luo sighed, realizing that the weak had no rights to choose.

Just then, the distant Feiyu Realm came into view before the Four-Armed Divine Luo.

“Your world is far more powerful than mine,” he said, his tone filled with helplessness.

“Don’t dwell on that. Instead, think about how to present yourself before that supreme being you’re about to meet.”

“How he perceives you matters for your clan’s future,” the higher-ranked elder advised.

“Thank you for the reminder,” the Four-Armed Divine Luo expressed his gratitude.

“It’s to prevent you from committing a faux pas before that supreme being.”

“As for whether you’re grateful, that doesn’t matter to me. Just remember, the fate of your four-armed demon race is entirely in the hands of that supreme being.”
