The moment Tie Wu’s voice rang out,
a ripple spread across the sky.
Qin Ye’s figure dispersed like ink, then condensed like black lightning. He used the power of his token to appear instantly beside Tie Wu, stretched out his fingers, grabbed him, and dashed back several meters.
The steel fortress was breached layer by layer!
The figure of the White Parrot, burning with Blazing Light and enveloped in radiant light, moved at an incredible speed, closely following Qin Ye’s retreating form and delivered a punch!
The two Apostles clashed with a blow.
He hadn’t expected that this kid’s physical strength would be so terrifying... almost like the flood dragons from the ancient myths of the East Continent.
Taking the hit head-on, his blood boiled and his bones trembled.
He finally understood why Tie Wu did not want to exchange blows with this madman.
After exchanging blows, the madman too grunted, being knocked towards the ground, but he adjusted his breathing briefly and immediately charged again, stepping on the void. He was a complete "death seeker," burning his token recklessly and exchanging injury for injury without regard for pain...
This man likely had only one thought on his mind.
Either kill himself or be killed by himself!
Qin Ye’s expression was somber as he pressed down with one hand, and "Xumi" instantly unfolded like layers of a lens, different from Tie Wu’s direct control over steel. His power had no physical form, yet it possessed its own unique characteristics. Having cultivated in the Source Tower for many years, Qin Ye had mastered his abilities to a very high level.
Breaking through the layers of "Xumi" was even harder than shattering the steel fortress; it wasn’t something brute force alone could achieve.
He attempted to suppress Song Ci.
The battle between Apostles, once a token was used, was no longer a mere clash of Transcendents.... The longer the Apostles had cultivated and the more experienced they were, the stronger the advantage they held in battle; however, they also had a significant disadvantage.
Having already used "Divine Descent," their lives were now on a countdown.
For Qin Ye and Tie Wu, they couldn’t fully unleash themselves in battle, because the man before them was a madman who didn’t consider his own life... An existence never before encountered among the Apostles.
Every individual chosen by the Divine Throne had at least one clear realization... they lived and strived for the future of the Five Continents’ humanity.
Therefore, their lives were the most important thing.
That was the initial purpose of "Divine Descent"; the Divine Thrones had chosen their spokespersons and bestowed upon them this protective charm that allowed Apostles to walk the world confidently, even outside the North Continent Fortress, without fear of dying in sudden Transcendent disasters.
Mr. Gu Changzhi actually chose such a madman to be an Apostle?
This was something Qin Ye and Tie Wu couldn’t comprehend... the fact was that if they truly went all out, determined to pay any cost to use their "tokens," the outcome of the battle between Apostles would depend on the Divine Thrones they believed in, which was stronger and which was weaker.
The Divine Thrones taming the kindling represented the power, spirit, and peace of their respective continents; they knew their missions well, so conflicts rarely arose.
At least in the long history of the past, the few "Divine Thrones" had always united against the collapse of order, with no disputes or conflicts arising.
But with the emergence of the Apostles... with the birth of "Deep Sea"... the major trends of the Five Continents seemed to begin changing little by little.
"The Angel Envoys have started fighting."
Gu Zhi looked somewhat anxious, and he prepared to join the battle, but a hand stopped him.
"Mr. Shuang Chuan... this is not a battle you should involve yourself in," Gu Nanfeng said calmly, "Why endanger yourself unnecessarily?"
Gu Zhi was taken aback.
He could not play a decisive role.
"Can he repel those two Angel Envoys?" Gu Zhi asked, "I’m worried... could the battle between the Angel Envoys lead to a greater disaster?"
Such as... a war between two continents.
Zhou Jiren shook his head, "Those two Angel Envoys from the Central Continent just wanted to see if Gu Changzhi was still alive... Now that they have their answer, the reason they haven’t withdrawn is probably that the one from the Source Tower hasn’t given the order yet."
Gu Zhi furrowed his brow.
He began to understand... the necessity of this battle.
To dispel the doubts of the Central Continent Angel Envoys, this battle was inevitable... not only must they fight, but they must also win.
Thinking this, Gu Zhi no longer felt much concern.
He had once witnessed the formidable power of Lord Divine, Mr. Gu Changzhi, as long as he was truly still alive.
Then today, nothing bad would happen.
For him, there was no more reassuring news... the appearance of an "Angel Envoy" could save the East Continent from much trouble.
South Bay firmly opposed the Awakening Bill, as it represented a significant voice within the East Continent Council.
The reach of the Divine Throne had extended ever further.
The members of the opposition in the Jiangnan Region unanimously believed that if they allowed those two from the Source Tower to extend their influence into the East Continent under the guise of the bill, then getting them to withdraw afterward would be impossible.
There’s a saying that fits the current situation perfectly: it’s easy to invite the gods, it’s hard to send them away.
It must be said, Gu Nanfeng’s return from the North Continent was timely. At a critical moment, he brought the Divine Throne Token and also found an Angel Envoy... All this happened so coincidentally that Gu Zhi felt it was somewhat surreal.
"Are you sure... there’s nothing wrong with this token?" Gu Zhi asked in a low voice for confirmation.
Gu Nanfeng smiled softly, "What kind of question is that? This is a genuine Divine Throne Token... and Song Ci is also a genuine ’Angel Envoy’ of the Divine."
"The selection of an ’Angel Envoy’ by the Divine Throne actually requires no complicated steps, not even a meeting, just a Spiritual Link in the unseen... that is enough," Gu Nanfeng said, looking towards his wife. "By taming the fire and reaching the level of the Divine Throne, one’s spiritual power can roam freely in the void. Although Mr. Gu Changzhi has never left the tomb in Changye City, his spirit roams and disperses in the void, silently watching over the entire East Continent... Choosing Song Ci was a decision made long ago. Over the years, his cultivation has advanced rapidly, and he has grown ever stronger in battle, precisely because of the spiritual power of the Divine Throne choosing him."
Well... that’s a reasonable explanation.
Gu Shen narrowed his eyes; using Chi Huo, he noticed that the token emblem of Song Ci was branded with a snow-white eagle.
The emblem on Tie Wu’s token seemed to be a grape.
The token of Qin Ye... was somewhat blurry, with black lightning swirling around him. Numerous layers of "Xumi" piled up, actually obscuring Chi Huo’s sight.
