Chapter 165-166: Exposure
translate!Outside the city.A heavy, sinister atmosphere pervaded the area, an overwhelming wave of cold sweeping through. If ordinary people were here, this chill would freeze their blood solid.One...On the highest throne of the Divine Nation, Bai Huang sat, a palpable force of faith surging from all directions, constantly pouring into his body.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The wounds inflicted in the Netherworld are now gradually recovering, bolstered by faith.
But this recovery process is slow.
It would take at least a hundred years to fully recover.
“Absolutely not can we allow the Zhongshan clan to produce a divine master, otherwise, with that peerless Dao weapon's might, if controlled by a divine master—”
While he was drawing strength from his faith, he was also thinking of other things.
There is no doubt.
The former Zhongshan Divine Clan, though fallen to the level of a mere clan, still possesses formidable strength from its past.
Currently...
The Zhōng Shān clan, possessing peerless divine weapons, could still control the scope of threats to themselves.
>
But if we wait until a deity is born, the problem will be serious.
Therefore.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The White Emperor would never allow it; the Zhongshan clan was fated to have a divine master appear.
He gazed at the river of rules flowing above the divine realm, countless images flashing through his golden eyes.
A towering figure, with a bronze ancient lamp opening the gates of the underworld, emerged from within, its terrifying presence causing upheaval in the heavens.
Then, the scene changed again.
>
There was a terrifying existence, with a single punch, it suppressed an entire divine race's God Master, leaving him bloodied.
Even.
In a corner of the screen, there is a scene depicting the annihilation of the Huan Shan divine race.
After a long time.
The Bai Huang withdrew his gaze.
The scene he just saw was just a glimpse of the future.
To be precise.
>
It is some of the many possibilities in the future.
>
You can see it.
Does not mean that the future will definitely happen.
"As expected—"
“The Zhōngshān clan poses a great threat to our tribe. The powerful warrior wielding the bronze ancient lamp should be the future Divine Master of the Zhōngshān clan, I suppose.”
This also indirectly indicates that the Zhongshan clan may have a god master in the future.
But...
"Who would be the one capable of wounding even the Divine Master with a single punch"
The white emperor's face flickered with a variety of expressions.
He didn't really care if the Huan Shan divine clan might be destroyed in the future.
Any one race.
In the future, it is possible that it will be destroyed.
What I see is just a possibility, it's nothing special.
But what truly caught Bai Huang's attention was the towering figure wielding a bronze ancient lamp, and the existence that could strike even the Divine Master with a single blow.
Then it's clear.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
It is possible that such strong individuals may appear in the future.
The only thing he regretted was.
I couldn't quite make out the appearance of those powerful figures. I could only see a faint, indistinct outline.
Next.
The White Emperor again looked towards the heavens above the God Realm. His gaze seemed able to pierce through the God Realm, seeing the scenes within the River of Rules.
In the colorful river, that touch of gold has grown quite a bit.
See this.
The Bai Huang's face darkened once again.
“The extermination rule has grown several times stronger compared to the beginning. Those cultivators who walk the path of extermination have become much stronger. If this continues, it will be a major problem.”
I can't wait any longer.
If we wait any longer, the annihilation rule will only become stronger.
By then.
Even if the annihilation rules were found, they might not be able to contain them.
Thinking about this.
The White Emperor didn't even have time to recover himself, and directly entered the River of Rules.
The void tore apart.
Where ten thousand rules flow, Bai Huang's majestic figure has already appeared there.
He looked down at the river of rules below. The golden annihilation rules were now flowing wantonly in the water, neither merging with it nor being repelled by it.
Suddenly.
Void cracks again.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Majestic figures emerged from the void.
"I didn't expect to meet the White Emperor here. I thought you were trapped in the Netherworld. But then again, with the White Emperor's strength, how could he be confined by such a place as the Netherworld"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A divine master sarcastically remarked.
This is a placeholder for text.
Upon hearing this.
The White Emperor's face darkened.
"Even an ancient emperor wouldn't need yin-yang energies, let alone you entering the underworld. You might not even be able to get out."
The august and venerable Lord of the Divine.
He was dragged into the underworld by a clan soldier.
This matter has already ruined our reputation.
At this moment, the other party was still making sarcastic remarks, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
If it weren't for the consideration that the Ancient God Clan was powerful and everyone was currently on the same front, Bai Huang would have directly turned against them.
Upon hearing this, the ancient emperor merely smiled but said nothing further.
He was just saying that out of courtesy, to save face for the other person. He didn't really mean to cause a scene.
It's not that the ancient imperial gods were afraid of the Huan Shan God Clan.
...but it resulted in two divine races turning against each other, with no benefit whatsoever.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
At their level, many things are considered in terms of profit and loss. Deals that would result in a loss are basically not something they would do.
The Thunder Emperor lightly coughed, making a round of the situation: "Although the strength of the Zhongshan clan has been greatly reduced since the fall of Master Zhuo, the peerless divine weapon in Master Zhuo's hand back then is still there."
I believe many of you present here have already experienced the power of that divine soldier.
Back then, when the Candle Master reigned supreme in the heavens, there were even divine masters who fell into the Netherworld. Although the Candle Master has now fallen, with the power of that celestial weapon, it's actually no weaker than an ordinary divine master.
Here.
The other deities fell silent.
A long while.
A divine master lamented: "The Zhongshan clan is truly a creature with a thousand legs that doesn't die even when it's killed. Back then, a candle lord emerged, transforming the Zhongshan clan from a small powerful family into a divine clan."
After the death of the last candle master, the Zhongs Mountain clan also produced many prodigies.
As expected, both of the current generation's rule gods from the Zhongshan clan will qualify to become divine masters in the future.
In the past, becoming a divine master was no easy feat. But in these turbulent times, who can say for certain
"And..."
“There is a Daoist soldier, the Youyou Yin, stationed within. Even our God Clan would have to think twice before attacking the Zhongshan clan. Besides, who among you can be certain that the Candle Master hasn't left other tricks up his sleeve”
The candle master's strength.
Only those who are strong in the same era can truly understand.
It took place millions of years ago.
The Tong You Yin can be said to have a very great reputation.
The Netherworld is on the same level as the heavens, and Tong Yu is exceptionally favored. He can open the gates of the Netherworld. Any deity who is dragged into the Netherworld must pay a heavy price if they want to get out.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And.
Even if it comes at a cost, whether or not it will actually work out is still a matter of probability.
At least during the time when the Zhú master resided in the Zhōngshān clan, there were no less than several divine masters who fell into his hands.
Upon hearing this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The Baihuang emperor only sneered in his heart.
Since they were well aware of the threat posed by the Zhongshan Clan, they did not take action that day.
To put it simply.
Still weighing the pros and cons.
In the days when the Lord of the Candle was alive, the Zhongshan clan also walked closely with many powerful forces, and the Sikong Shen clan was one of them.
The reason for not making a move is nothing more than being wary of other gods.
After all.
If war is truly to be waged.
The issues involved are not so simple then.
In today's chaotic world, even divine beings are reluctant to take center stage.
Originally.
The White Emperor also didn't want to make a move.
Alas, the Lei Ze divine clan made their move first. Moreover, Shen Changqing's displayed potential filled them with trepidation, so they decided to take action, aiming to eliminate him.
But never thought of it.
Murder is murder, and now I'm caught in the mess myself.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Bai Huang said: "Let's put aside the matter of the Zhong Shan clan for now. Although the Tong Yu Yin is powerful, even if the Candle Master had possessed such a divine weapon back then, he still couldn't escape his fate of destruction."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even if a divine being were to be born from the Zhongshan clan today, it would be impossible to rival the might of the former Candle Master.
As for this Midao Rule, in just a dozen or so years, it has already grown to such a state.
"At first glance, even a god realm couldn't compare. But now, looking again, I fear he is almost at the level of a God King."
One or two decades.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There are such changes.
Then what about a couple of hundred years
By then, the Extermination Rules might even be able to grow to a level comparable to that of a God Master.
If we were to say.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
This is a creature of a race, all walking the Path of Extinction rules. Then, in the short term, the Path of Extinction rules grow stronger, and it wouldn't be surprising to him.
However.
In today's Baihuang's view, the Rule of Extinction is very likely not from a race, but from a certain being.
This would be terrible.
Imagine that.
There is a creature that, in just over twenty years, has gone from being weaker than a god to rivaling a God King.
If one were truly given a hundred years, growing to the realm of a deity wouldn't be mere exaggeration.
Upon hearing this, the other deities all furrowed their brows.
The Thunder Emperor's voice was heavy: "The White Emperor is right, the speed at which this Dao-destroying rule grows is too fast. If it truly grows up, I fear our various clans will have a hard time surviving."
Only by eliminating it in its infancy can the problem truly be solved.
As soon as the words were spoken.
A divine master nodded, "Every time a great struggle begins, powerful figures who can shake the heavens emerge, accelerating the pace of the great struggle. Judging by now, the ruler of this rule of annihilation could very well be the one destined to meet their fate."
Under a great calamity, if those who should perish do not die, then it will be troublesome.
"Whether he is a robber or not, he has to die!"
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
Another divine master's voice was icy.
>The robber.
To put it plainly, it's a tribulation for all the myriad races of the heavens.
Only under the pressure of calamity-makers can the young elites of all races and heavens grow, ultimately culminating in their slaying of the calamity-makers as the end of the great struggle.
But.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
> Robbers are not easily killed.
In past eras of great turmoil, there have been those who survived to the very end. However, as a price for their unparalleled power, they walked over the corpses of countless races.
This kind of thing.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
To other races, it's a nightmare.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
In a world of great contention.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even a god wouldn't be sure if they could laugh last. During past eras of great upheaval, countless gods fell.
Therefore.
In their view, if the beings who gave birth to the rule of annihilation were not destined to die, and if they truly were destined to die, then they should die even more.
"Last time I tried to calculate, the other party had their celestial mechanisms blocked, so I couldn't truly figure anything out. This time, we will put all our effort into calculating again and see if we can find some clues."
It should be noted that in times of great chaos, celestial mechanisms are obscured. Even if a powerful individual truly wants to use means to conceal their celestial energy, it is impossible for them to be completely flawless.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
And we, so many divine lords gathered here, may not be inferior to that mysterious existence.
The White Emperor spoke in a low voice.
To this, the other gods did not object.
Then.
All the deities each used their own methods and directly plunged into the River of Laws.
Boom!
The vast and mighty power poured into the River of Rules, causing it to tremble slightly.
The golden rules representing the Way of Extinction swim constantly through the river of colors, trying to evade capture by that force.
However.
All the deities were well-prepared, directly using their formidable powers to weave a vast net of celestial and earthly constraints. They forcibly imprisoned the rule of annihilation within a specific domain.
"Hurry!"
At the moment when the annihilation rule was imprisoning him, the Thunder Emperor roared in fury.
Even a deity, wanting to use their own power to influence the flow of rules, would find it as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Now, merely a moment's effort drains him of much of his power.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Upon hearing this.
The White Emperor didn't hesitate, directly using his divine power to immerse himself in the Dao Destruction Rule, wanting to deduce something from it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However.
When the divine power just entered the Dao of Obliteration, only a blurry image flashed past, but it shattered quickly.
But when they saw the blurry image, all the devas were filled with excitement.
"As expected, the heavens are in disarray. Even that powerful figure who shielded the heavens made a mistake. Quickly, Bai Huang, quickly use your Huan Shan Divine Clan's celestial weapons to calculate. This might be our only chance!"
The previous two deductions yielded no results.
This time.
Although it was just a blurry image, it was a big breakthrough.
As long as you seize this opportunity, it will be no problem to truly expose the other party's identity.
The White Emperor hesitated: "Our clan's army should not be moved lightly. If there are any mistakes, will the other clans be willing to take responsibility"
“At this point, what's the use of talking If the divine soldiers of the Huan Shan God Clan are harmed, we all share the responsibility!”

The ancient emperor couldn't help but curse.
They are all now holding on, every breath they take is an unimaginable expenditure.
This is the time.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
The other party was still hesitating there, how could I not be angry.
"Great!"
Having received the approval from the divine master, Bai Huang did not hesitate. A ruthless gleam flashed in his eyes, and a silver mirror suddenly appeared in his hand.
Divine power infused.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A sliver of white light shot out from the silver mirror, plunging directly into the River of Rules.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The next moment.
The Annihilation Rule vibrates.
In the silver mirror, a scene appeared.
In the picture.
Only a young man in green clothes could be seen, sitting cross-legged inside some ancient ruin.
Just then.
The young man seemed to have noticed something. His tightly shut eyes flew open, and two beams of golden light shot out from them, causing the silver mirror to tremble violently.
Boom—
The extermination rules are vibrating.
A beam of golden light erupted, striking the silver mirror directly.
Click!
The silver mirror emitted a crisp ringing sound, its surface already covered in cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.
All divine power that fell into the river of rules dissipated instantly. All the deities turned their gazes to the silver mirror, their faces filled with astonishment.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"That place over there was just a chaotic no-go zone, wasn't it!"
"Unexpectedly, the creature that nurtured the Dao-destroying rules was hiding in the chaotic forbidden zone all along. No wonder we had searched for so long without any results."
Only now have they come to understand.
Why have all the divine races been searching for so long without any news
Co-authored.
That creature wasn't active among the myriad races of heaven and earth, but had always resided within the chaotic forbidden zone.
This also indirectly explains why the other party's strength has grown so quickly.
The chaotic forbidden zone is indeed dangerous, but the opportunities within are just as abundant.
It's not strange that those who can survive in the chaotic Restricted Area and have their strength grow rapidly.
On the other side.
The Bai Huang reluctantly put the silver mirror away.
Even though the silver mirror is only an auxiliary-type tenth rank Dao weapon, it is extremely precious.
>
Now, under the backlash of the power of the River Rules, although it hasn't truly shattered, it has been severely damaged.
Next.
To repair it, a considerable cost would be required.
However.
The only thing that comforted him.
>
The cost of a damaged silver mirror, all the deities present have to share.
"If I am not mistaken, that is indeed the Human Race. Now, that Human Race hides within the chaotic forbidden zone, most likely intending to use the dangers of the chaotic forbidden zone to deter us."
What are your plans next
The White Emperor said solemnly.
The Chaos Zone is unlike any other place. It's where the divine lord enters, and even a single misstep could result in annihilation.
Moreover, the chaotic forbidden zone was vast and boundless. Finding a hidden human within it would be no easier than reaching the heavens.
The Lightning Emperor's face hardened: "Although the Chaos Forbidden Zone is perilous, we cannot allow it to grow unchecked. I propose that we first dispatch a portion of our cultivators inside to locate the human, and then have us gods take action."
Here's the translation:
As long as we can find his exact location, the moment we make a move, he will have absolutely no chance of escaping.
Even the strongest humans.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
According to the Extinction Dao rules, at most, it is equivalent to a God King.
In the presence of the divine master.
An ordinary God King is no different from an ant.
Even a Rule God is nothing but an insignificant ant.
>
If all the gods present were to join forces, even the Rule God King would be easily obliterated.
The ancient emperor nodded: "The Thunder Emperor's proposal is not bad. Let a part of the cultivators enter the chaotic forbidden zone first, find the whereabouts of the human race, and then we will make a move."
Otherwise, if we make a move, it's easy to startle the grass and scare away the human race, causing them to hide and dare not come out.
It's better to let the other cultivators scout first. Once we've completely locked onto that human's whereabouts, we can unleash a thunderous strike and slay them within the chaotic forbidden zone.
>
When the other deities heard this, they secretly sneered in their hearts.
What startles a snake while cutting grass.
It's all a facade.
The chaotic forbidden zone was perilous, even the gods could fall within it. Without absolute certainty, they would not dare to venture in lightly.
And other things.
It's all just an excuse.
However.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The ancient emperor's words were also what other divine masters were thinking.
They would not easily enter until the very last moment.
"Also, pass this message on to the other Divine Races, the Human Race, and anyone else who follows the Dao of Annihilation. The emergence of these messages is not just our concern. Before things were clear, they could remain aloof observers, but now it's impossible for them to do so any longer."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Besides searching in the Chaos Zone, defenses must also be set up outside of it. We absolutely cannot allow any opportunity for the human race to leave the Chaos Zone.
In the middle of a barren valley.
Shen Changqing's face was grave.
Just now, that feeling of calculation came over me again.
And.
Compared to before, he could clearly feel that his whereabouts had been exposed.
Thank you!
Shen Changqing frowned.
After using the Kunlun Displacement Talisman and arriving here, Zhong Shanqiu's essence dissipated.
Please note: I removed the and the tags are preserved as requested. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Therefore.
He also immediately used other resources to conceal his identity, and only then did he use the resources at his disposal to recover from his injuries.
>
However, from some point onwards, the borrowed source has already been shattered by chaos.
It's now.
Startled awake by the force of that calculation, Shen Changqing finally came to his senses.
First of all.
He used other sources to cover up his own.
Speaking of the root.
Shen Changqing now possesses quite a bit.
Even if a race could only retain one strongest source, it would be the same.
Of all origins.
Among them, two sources are the most powerful.
This is the origin of the Heavenly God King of the Qingyao clan.
Here's the translated content, keeping the HTML tags as they are:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
One is the origin of a demigod king from the Lei Ze God Clan.
...in this case.
That half-step God King's origin was clearly from Lei Yuan.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
However—
For him right now, both powerful sources are not something that can be easily used.
All things considered.
Whether it's Leiyu or the Divine King of the Qing Yao clan.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although both have already fallen, the Raze God Clan and the Qingyao Clan couldn't possibly be without any backup.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If one were to directly use the power of both sources, the Raiden Shogun and the Kamisato Clan would definitely know immediately.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's the way it should be.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If one relies on their own source, it might just expose them.
Although...
After obtaining the Chaotic Dao Body, the origins of all celestial races are useless for increasing one's power unless they possess a strength far exceeding their own.
>
But even if it couldn't increase one's strength, the means of concealing one's identity alone were already extremely important.
For every gain, there is a loss.
After my transformation into a Chaotic Dao Body, although my cultivation level remained at the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, my strength had increased significantly compared to before. Even if the origin of other races had no effect on increasing one's power, this kind of transformation would be beneficial nonetheless.
Shen Changqing was relieved about this.
It can be clearly seen.
The Chaotic Dao Physique is an extremely domineering constitution. The origins of other races, as long as they remain here, will be disintegrated.
Besides that.
The other energies can also be assimilated by the Chaotic Dao Body into the energy it needs.
That's precisely why.
Only then could he, in the desolate valley, use the resources within his storage ring to fully nurture his wounds.
Keep in mind.
In the desolate valley, there wasn't a trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
If it weren't for the fact that the Chaos Dao Body could transform various forms of energy, it wouldn't be so easy for itself to recover.
Now.
With the injuries sustained, resources in the storage ring are dwindling.
"It seems like I can't stay here any longer. I need to leave first. Judging by my current state, I'm afraid I won't last much longer!"
When Shen Changqing looked inwards, he could see divine fire flickering within the chaos.
Under the ceaseless erosion of chaotic power, it can be seen that the divine fire is gradually dimming.ough there is a protective sect formation protecting it, in their eyes, the Purple Cloud Sect's protective sect formation was of little use.This is also very normal.Even the most powerful clan's prote...
