Chapter 432: Settlement of the Profound Sky Hall!
“What did you say?”
As the words of the Chaos Tower fell, even the Mirror couldn’t believe its ears.
This guy actually admitted defeat; was he not ashamed?!
“This battle starts with being alive and ends with death!”
Zhou Tong said bluntly, his palm aimed forward, causing even the divine beings of the imperial weapon to pause momentarily.
He could clearly sense that this human in front of him was serious.
“I admit that you are stronger now, but I also want you to seriously consider this: if I, as an imperial weapon, choose to self-destruct, would the entire Central Continent sink into oblivion?”
“By then, no one would be spared, including the Profound Sky Hall and naturally also the Li Family. I’m not exaggerating; if you don’t believe me, just ask the one inside you!”
As an imperial weapon, the Chaos Tower saying such words was, in fact, already a form of begging for mercy.
“He’s right. If he insists on self-destructing, unless a true Great Emperor descends, no one can lessen that destructive impact.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong stopped his movements.
If the opponent truly wished for mutual destruction, the consequences were indeed more than he could bear.
“Death is pardonable, but living crimes are hard to escape!”
At these words, even the Chaos Tower couldn’t help but tremble, daring to judge an imperial weapon; perhaps Zhou Tong was the first.
“No one can judge this imperial weapon!”
The opponent said proudly.
“Then die! My brother has already pointed a path to survival for you; if you dare to not appreciate it, I won’t go easy on you!”
The Mirror said coldly, “Want Central Continent to bury you? Go ahead; if you’re going to self-destruct, do it quickly, don’t sully our hands!”
At this, the opponent fell silent.
If possible, who would choose to self-destruct and die?
“Make your decision quickly; your peak transformation is about to end, and at that time, you won’t even qualify for mutual destruction. I will eliminate you first, then destroy the Profound Sky Hall!”
The Mirror urged again, unwilling to give the opponent any face.
Zhou Tong also remained silent, allowing time to pass second by second.
After all, the longer it dragged on, the more beneficial it was for him.
As the Mirror said, as long as the opponent shed the peak transformation state, and then let the Mirror reach its peak transformation, it might indeed be able to annihilate the Chaos Tower effortlessly!
After a long while, the opponent finally made a decision.
“I am willing to accept the punishment…”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong was stunned again, but quickly accepted the situation.
For the Chaos Tower, this might be the best choice.
“A teachable child! If you don’t bleed a bit, it won’t be settled easily.”
The Mirror said gleefully; seeing the opponent’s misfortune brought him immense joy.
“This imperial weapon has its calculations; I won’t be so petty.”
As the words fell, the tower body rotated, and three stars of light fell into Zhou Tong’s palm.
As soon as he held them, he felt an extremely thick energy, even heavier than mountains.
Moreover, the imperial might contained in them was impossible to ignore.
If it were anyone else, even a peak sage would be unable to lift any one of those stars of light.
“Quasi-Emperor Relic!”
Zhou Tong recognized what was in his hand at a glance, his voice shaking with astonishment.
“Good eyes; this should be enough.”
“Very good, I like it a lot.”
Even Zhou Tong couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.
In the world, a Quasi-Emperor Relic should be the most precious treasure next to imperial weapons.
Whoever could refine one of them would not just dream of becoming a saint but could achieve it outright.
More importantly, the imperial path laws within could lift the Heavenly Dao shackles, allowing cultivators to break through to the Holy King Realm without having to wait for the Golden Great Era!
For peak sages, this was simply an invaluable treasure!
If this thing were to flow outside, it would definitely attract bloody competition; even enforcers would not hesitate to seize it at all costs.
Unfortunately, those people were destined not to see or obtain it, as Zhou Tong had already made arrangements; even he himself would not refine this object.
In his past life, he was a figure at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Nine Heavens, even pressing half his body into the ranks of the Great Emperor. He had long comprehended his unique imperial path laws and would not covet the Quasi-Emperor laws of others.
“Can this matter be settled in one stroke?”
The Chaos Tower asked.
“Yours can be settled, but the Profound Sky Hall still needs to be accounted for!”
Zhou Tong said firmly, not willing to yield an inch.
“You… forget it!”
The Chaos Tower sighed; since it had already retreated, it would simply retreat to the end. Right now, it truly couldn’t provoke the young man in front of it.
“However, I have conditions. You cannot damage the earthlines of the Profound Sky Hall, nor can you kill the people of the offering hall. Xuan Qiubai and Jade Linglong must live, and apart from that, you can dispose of them as you wish!”
“That’s certainly fine!”
Zhou Tong agreed without hesitation, and then he added, “But the premise is that they cannot resist; if anyone dares to be unappreciative, I will have to exorcise them!”
“Rest assured, I will cooperate with you on the settlement of the Profound Sky Hall!” the Chaos Tower said without any fluctuation.
“That would be best!”
…
Zhou Tong and the Chaos Tower had clashed for less than half a stick of incense, but for those whose senses had been taken away, it felt as though a century had passed.
Once the imperial might completely dissipated, the crowd seemed to come back to life, their senses restored, and they gasped for breath.
“What’s the result? Who won?”
The crowd looked to the sky, their hearts racing, eagerly wanting to know the outcome.
Suddenly, a beam of light descended, the first thing in sight was a treasure tower, from which revived divine beings stood, bringing spirits to the people of the Profound Sky Hall.
“We won! We won!”
“Haha, I knew it; that kid is nothing in front of the imperial weapon master, crushing him is as easy as squashing a fly!”
“The Li Family is completely finished; just wait for us to settle the score. Once we move over, I won’t even leave a chicken for them!”
On the Ascension Platform, Jade Linglong fully revived, while the Li Family fell into silence, everyone looking toward the Little Demoness.
“What are you looking at? I’m living just fine; have patience and watch closely for the turnaround!”
As these words were spoken, everyone was puzzled; the opponent’s imperial weapon had descended. Would there really be a turnaround?
But no matter what, they held their composure, quietly observing everything.
“Welcome, my lord!”
Xuan Qiubai came forward, kneeling on one knee, his face filled with devotion.
“Your divine might is boundless and has overcome strong enemies; we celebrate you, my lord!”
“I acknowledge your intentions; rise!”
Suddenly, a youthful voice came in, making Xuan Qiubai feel something was amiss.
“Imperial Weapon Master, your voice seems a bit off; why does it sound somewhat similar to that young man’s?”
He couldn’t help but look up, but just one glance left him as if struck by lightning.
He saw Zhou Tong descending from above, and his height was even above the Chaos Tower.
“Surprised? I can only say don’t get too happy too early; there are even more joyous things yet to come!”
“Wh-what is happening? Why is this?”
Even the battle-hardened peak sage was now in confusion; could it be that both sides had reached a handshake agreement?
“Shall you speak, or shall I?”
Zhou Tong looked down at the Chaos Tower, his tone indifferent. This attitude made the crowd’s eyelids twitch.
Such a tone, how could it be like ordering a servant?
“I’ll do it then…”
The divine being of the Chaos Tower gazed at the Heavenly Dao Image, speaking in a deep voice, “Let me tell you a certain fact: in the battle just now, I lost!”
As these words fell, the heavens and earth seemed to freeze!
