CHAPTER 482: CHAPTER 464 GAME

Start of battle?!

Wang Xu’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately drew the Thunder God Universe Light Saber, preparing for combat in an instant.

"Wang Xu, go to the corner immediately. You’re only at the Elite Realm; you can’t participate in this kind of battle."

The young man in the white robe transmitted the words to Wang Xu.

Among those present, apart from Wang Xu, everyone was top-tier Initial Celestial Gods, with Han Kui being a Peak Initial Celestial God.

Wang Xu was considered the lowest and weakest in the realm.

"What exactly is the upcoming battle? At this point, there should be no need to hide it."

Wang Xu calmly stated.

"It’s no harm telling you now. This is the annual ’Cage Opening’ moment. Each year at this time, all cages will open, and everyone at the Celestial God Realm can move freely until dawn tomorrow."

The young man in the white robe explained, "However, it’s only within the confines of all the cages; you still can’t leave this cursed place, so abandon any thoughts of escaping. Those watching outside are Eternal Generations Celestial Gods, even Billion Era Celestial God experts!"

Cage Opening Moment!

At this moment, millions of Celestial God Realm beings are granted a degree of freedom.

But... what does this have to do with the battle?

"The real truth... I’m afraid it will be hard for you to accept once I say it."

The young man in the white robe hesitated.

"Speak," Wang Xu seemed to sense something vaguely.

Every year at this time, the cage opens once, granting everyone a night of freedom... the more Wang Xu thought about it, the less simple it seemed.

And looking at the tense expressions on everyone’s faces, it was clear that something unusual was involved.

"This is a game... a game between powerful figures."

The young man’s voice in the white robe trembled slightly, "Remember the hoe the Watcher gave you? The string of numbers on it doesn’t just represent the hoe; it represents your life!"

Wang Xu’s pupils shrank increasingly smaller.

"This game is tailored for the strong. As long as someone collects enough hoes, they can exchange them with the Watcher for rare Cultivation Resources! So... to obtain Cultivation Resources, to advance as soon as possible, and to leave this cursed place, tonight, these Celestial God Realm beings will have their hands drenched in blood!"

The young man in the white robe hadn’t finished speaking when Wang Xu understood entirely.

Suddenly, he felt darkness engulfing him completely.

Everything in his mind connected together, making it hard for him to suppress the shock in his heart, so he took a deep breath.

This is a meticulously crafted setup, flawless and unassailable in every way!

They capture these Celestial God Realm beings, using human nature to make them fight each other, and using their eagerness to propel them to continuously extract benefits for themselves...

Too terrifying.

The great power behind this... has calculated to such an extent!

"Wang Xu, remember, no matter what happens later, don’t step forward easily. If anyone wants to take our numbers, Big Brother Han will lead us to fight back fiercely. But if you get involved, they will instantly target you, and no one will be able to save you then!"

The young man in the white robe advised.

Wang Xu nodded.

On that day, Wang Xu had seen millions of Celestial God Realm beings, countless Peak Initial Celestial Gods, even more top-tier Initial Celestial Gods. As an Elite Initial Celestial God, he was nothing more than cannon fodder among them.

The underground cave suddenly became incredibly silent.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to be careless.

Wang Xu stood behind everyone, near the Law Wall, looking up at the bright night sky above.

"The battle has started."

Soon, Wang Xu heard a voice, and Han Kui immediately made a gesture of clenching his fist, signaling everyone to restrain their Primordial Power aura, suppressing it to the lowest level.

Sudden waves of Primordial Power surged, and the thunderous sounds of battle cries drew nearer and nearer; the flames of war had already spread to the underground cave where Wang Xu was.

The clash of weapons, dazzling light shining in from the cave entrance, mixed with falling blood and corpses.

Bam! Bam!

Two headless corpses fell in front of Han Kui and the others.

Immediately after, a Celestial God Realm being descended, and Han Kui and the others took a step back.

Peak Initial Celestial God.

Just from the Primordial Power waves emanating from this person, his strength was definitely above Han Kui!

The differences between strength realms are very subtle, seeming the same tier, yet often explosively producing overwhelming results.

Just like Wang Xu, who seemed like an Elite Initial Celestial God, but when his strength truly burst out, not even ten Han Kuis could withstand a single blow from him!

"Humph!"

This Peak Initial Celestial God glanced at Han Kui and the others, the surging Primordial Power waves expanding threateningly, and under Han Kui’s quiet transmission, no one dared to act rashly.

After storing away the two headless corpses, this Peak Initial Celestial God did not want to trouble Han Kui and the others, and left the underground cave straight away.

"His strength is terrifying."

After the person left, Han Kui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Remember, unless absolutely necessary, do not take action. We must preserve every bit of our strength!"

Han Kui instructed.

They are not a team of strong individuals; their powers are varied, and there are only about ten of them. They are headed into a war of millions at the Celestial God Realm — pure suicide.

But even if they don’t actively seek trouble, trouble always finds its way to them.

"Look, the birds in this cage are all fledglings, we can slaughter them!"

A celestial god from another race with only a massive red eye and a large mouth on his face stood at the entrance of the cave, looking down at Han Kui and the others.

Another person at the peak of the Initial Celestial God Realm.

Swish, swish, swish!

As soon as his words fell, over ten more celestial gods with red eyes arrived swiftly, their red eyes gleaming with greedy desire.

"Red Eye Race celestial gods!"

Someone transmitted in panic.

Among these Red Eye celestial gods, apart from the one who had just discovered Han Kui and the others being at the peak of the Initial Celestial God Realm, the rest were all at the top of the Initial Celestial God Realm.

This lineup is not considered mighty.

But those who know the prowess of the Red Eye Race celestial gods felt a chill in their hearts.

The eyes of the Red Eye Race are their most critical weakness; as long as the eyes are destroyed, the Red Eye Race is essentially dead.

Yet, the red eye is also their greatest weapon.

The Divine Country of human race celestial gods is located in the Dantian, but it is different for the Red Eye Race: their Divine Country resides within their red eye. When they cast their Secret Techniques, they gather Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi through their red eyes at extremely fast speeds, resulting in more potent attacks!

"Prepare for battle!"

Han Kui’s eyes turned fierce as the Great Saber sliced through the void, leaving behind a narrow rift.

Everyone’s heart tightened, their faces showing a fierce resolve.

They understood that today’s battle was inevitable — it was either the Red Eye Race who perishes, or they die!

"Haha... do they still want to fight us? Brothers, slaughter them!"

Immediately, the dozen or so celestial gods of the Red Eye Race launched an assault, ice and fire covering the sky. The underground cave instantly presented two extreme states.

But with the protection of the Law Wall, their attacks did not cause any damage to the underground cave.

Both sides were engaged in fierce battle, blood splattering as soon as it started.

Wang Xu watched from the rear, heeding Han Kui and others’ words, and did not jump into the battle immediately.

The Red Eye Race also noticed Wang Xu, but because he did not participate in the battle, they decided to deal with Han Kui and others first, putting Wang Xu aside, intending to kill him after dealing with those in front of them.

An Elite Initial Celestial God Realm individual was nothing more than a trivial pawn to them.

Wang Xu did not engage in the battle and didn’t focus on it either.

What he was truly concerned about was what was happening outside.

His Spiritual Consciousness radiated outward; initially, it was to hide and avoid trouble, even restraining his Primordial Power aura. But now that the battle had started, there was no need to continue concealing.

Immediately, the scenes of the war outside imprinted into Wang Xu’s mind.

"A brutal war..."

Witnessing what was unfolding, Wang Xu took a deep breath inwardly.

In the sky, a mass of people at the Celestial God Realm with different levels of power were engaging in close combat, the sky filled with a flickering array of lights, with deafening roars, void breaches forming, and many celestial gods not dying on the battlefield, instead, perishing within the temporal storms.

This was a war that shocked the heart.

It was also the first time in his two lifetimes that Wang Xu witnessed such a horrifying "Celestial God Battle."

Gently falling golden blood showered like rain, mixed with lifelessness as the celestial gods’ corpses plummeted to the ground.

Yet even in death, these beings at the Celestial God Realm could not find peace.

As soon as a corpse fell, dozens or even hundreds rushed forth to hack it apart, seizing the Sumeru Storage Ring and any treasures.

Whoever managed to grab the Sumeru Storage Ring gained the hoe symbolizing life.

The firmament trembled, with the sounds of slaughter shaking the earth, making it difficult to stand firm even in the void.

Wang Xu’s Spiritual Consciousness swept across millions of miles; everywhere was engulfed in the flames of war.

This was a war of unprecedented cruelty.

"Damn it..."

Clenching his fist tightly, Wang Xu’s expression was one of anger.

Through this war, Wang Xu saw not bloodshed, not slaughter, but an absurd drama!

Indeed, Wang Xu could imagine that, somewhere, innumerable Eternal Generations Celestial Gods, Billion Era Celestial Gods, and even Saint Venerables were smiling as they watched this war, amused at the millions of Celestial Gods slaughtering each other with blades drawn.

All life was merely for the hoe they had given out, a hoe no more than mere mortal iron!

"Ridiculous! So utterly ridiculous!"

A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Wang Xu’s face, "Since you want to watch a spectacular slaughter show, then I’ll entertain you well!"

With a drastic change in demeanor, Wang Xu’s figure moved.

Han Kui and the others were resisting the celestial gods from the Red Eye Race; though their strength was not comparable to these individuals, it was difficult to kill those of the same rank unless the power disparity was enormous.

Suddenly, a massive hand, tens of meters wide, pressed down on the Red Eye Race individuals in front of them.

Han Kui and the others hesitated, but when they saw the faces of these Red Eye Race individuals change from arrogance to horror, finally turning to despair as their bodies were crushed to pieces by that massive hand, they snapped awake.
