Chapter 6195 Leaving Freely
Originally, the city lord had planned to give Mo Nian one last chance—at least on the surface. It would paint Bai Sovereign City as magnanimous and righteous.
But Mo Nian’s disrespectful response made him snap.
“Die!”
With a roar, the city lord merged his nine Sovereign bodies into one. His Sovereign might exploded like a tsunami.
“Nine Revolution Vast Heaven Palm!”
This was his ultimate attack—nine fused Sovereign bodies empowered by divine faith energy. It was a strike meant to crush even the strongest late-stage Sovereign Lords.
Gasps erupted across the battlefield.
“This... this could kill any late-stage Sovereign Lord!”
Even mid-stage Sovereign Lords hiding far from the fight were paralyzed. The pressure reached them despite the distance. If they had been closer, the shockwaves alone could have killed them.
“Bai Sovereign City really does have some foundation. But if you think that you can kill me with this move, you’re too naive,” sneered Mo Nian.
With a wave of his hand, Mo Nian summoned a strange shield. It was rectangular, thick, and etched with strange patterns.
“Isn’t that... a coffin lid?”
Startled cries rang out.
It wasn’t just any coffin lid. Strange runes writhed across its surface, pulsing with life. A majestic aura surged out of it, one that was not weaker than the city lord’s.
“This... it’s a Divine Sovereign’s aura!”
BOOM!
The giant hand slammed into the coffin lid, causing a massive ripple to spread.
Bai Sovereign City rumbled as its grand formation shook. In the blink of an eye, cracks appeared on the barrier.
“Quicken, strengthen the barrier!” the experts inside the city shouted.
Blessed by the Bai Sovereign Divine Statue, the city lord’s attack was supposed to spare the city. Yet Mo Nian’s return strike still shook the formation. The force was passing through the city lord’s back, targeting the city itself.
Void winds howled like blades, and the heavens cracked.
Mo Nian was protected by the coffin lid, but he was still blasted backward. However, he didn’t suffer any injuries. Clearly, this coffin lid was an incredible divine weapon.
“Just what is that? How can it block the full-power attack of a nine-body Sovereign Lord?” shouted an expert from the Bai Sovereign City.
The current city lord was not an ordinary nine-body Sovereign Lord. With the power of the divine statue boosting him, he wielded a sliver of a Divine Sovereign’s power.
A Divine Sovereign’s power, even if it was just the tiniest bit, was enough to raise the city lord’s power to an unimaginable level.
However, Mo Nian’s aura hadn’t even fluctuated. The lid alone had absorbed the blow.
“Ignore that brat! Save me!!!” the Seven Color Deer race’s patriarch shouted.
People turned to look at him, only to see that he no longer had the power to resist the suction force of the coffin.
The city lord extended a hand, and a chain composed of Sovereign flame shot toward the deer patriarch.
But he was a step too late.
With a final scream, the patriarch vanished into the coffin. The lid slammed shut.
“Stay behind!” the city lord roared.
His chain wrapped around the coffin like a snake. But then—
CRACK!
The chain shattered in a flash of light.
“What?!”
The city lord was stunned. This coffin could even destroy a chain imbued with a sliver of Divine Sovereign power?
Mo Nian summoned the coffin back to his side and gently caressed its surface.
“A good coffin is indispensable,” he murmured. “Dead men can’t escape from it... and the living can’t survive inside.”
The coffin storing the patriarch of the Seven Color Deer race vanished in Mo Nian’s hand.
“Mo Nian!” the city lord bellowed. “You’ve gone mad! Do you even understand the disaster you’ve invited upon the human race?! The Seven Color Deer race is backed by the Nine Color Deer race! If they retaliate, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
Mo Nian rolled his eyes.
“Tch, trying to lecture me with moral high ground? Please. You think I have morals you can guilt-trip?”
His smile faded into a sneer.
“And you haven’t even asked who my master is yet, have you?”
The city lord shouted, “Mo Nian, release the elder of the Seven Color Deer race! Their race still has multiple patriarchs in seclusion—some are ninth Heavenstage Sovereign Lords. A few are even half-step Divine Sovereigns! Do you really think you can fight them all? Even if you don’t care, what about the rest of the humans? Do you want countless innocents to die because of you?!”
“Threatening me?”
All of a sudden, Mo Nian’s expression grew dark. He angrily shouted, “Why do we have to be afraid of them? Should we kneel and beg for mercy? They should’ve considered our wrath when they were slaughtering our heavenly geniuses! Not the other way around!
“If they want revenge for today, then I, Mo Nian, will repay them in full. I’ll burn their Nine Color Deer race to ash! I won’t just kill their descendants—I’ll dig up their ancestor tombs and make sure there’s no one left to mourn them! If you don’t believe me, just try it!”
“You...!” The city lord trembled with fury.
“You, you, you what?!” snapped Mo Nian. “You’re just another of Lord Brahma’s dogs! I didn’t come here for you. I came here to show Bai Sovereign City the truth.
“This is your last warning. If you keep serving Lord Brahma, then Long Chen will visit you guys with his Dragonblood Legion. And if that happens... Bai Sovereign City will be wiped from the nine heavens. If that doesn’t happen, I’ll write my name backwards!”
“Long Chen...”
The people within Bai Sovereign City shuddered when they heard his name.
Everyone had heard of Long Chen, the archenemy of the Brahma line. He had the dragon race and the violet blood race behind him. Sooner or later, there would be a huge battle between them.
If Bai Sovereign City sided with Lord Brahma, it would truly become Long Chen’s enemy. And that... would be a nightmare. All the inhabitants of the city would perish.
“Brat, since you wish to die so badly, I’ll fulfill your wish!” the city lord shouted, his face twisting savagely.
The moment he formed a series of hand seals, a pillar of light exploded out of Bai Sovereign City. A powerful Sovereign might shook the world.
“He is activating the Divine Sovereign’s power! Is he trying to summon a divine possession?!”
Mo Nian just snorted.
“You think you can kill me? If I want to leave, do you think you can stop me? People of Bai Sovereign City, listen well. Your city has abandoned the will of the human race. If you stay, all that awaits you... is death!”
“DIE!”
The city lord roared. A blinding column of light descended from the sky, sealing the space around Mo Nian.
But Mo Nian simply raised his hand.
“Unless your Bai Sovereign City’s actual Divine Sovereign comes back to life, you can’t keep me behind!” Mo Nian shouted.
A broken, bronze immortal palace appeared in his palm. It was old and crumbling, barely intact.
However, when it appeared, the divine light shattered.
Mo Nian stepped onto his coffin lid, and in a flash, vanished into the horizon.
Even after he had disappeared, his mocking voice still echoed behind him.
“The limitless palace in front of the limitless mountain, the limitless pine before the limitless gate, the dreams of heavenly geniuses vanish without a trace the moment they encounter Mo Nian!”
“FUCK!”
The city lord cursed in fury, but there was nothing he could do.
He didn’t dare to pursue Mo Nian, because once he left Bai Sovereign City, he had no confidence in beating Mo Nian one-on-one.
“Yingtian, go into the Divine Sovereign’s sacred pool right now! Don’t come out until you’ve reached three hundred Sovereign flames!” roared the city lord.
“Yes!” Bai Yingtian immediately obeyed.
Not long ago, the city lord himself had told Bai Yingtian to stabilize his cultivation before progressing. Now, everything had changed.
The city lord’s eyes remained fixed on the horizon where Mo Nian had vanished. Murderous intent surged in his heart.
“Mo Nian, just you wait.”
