God of Pets

Chapter 958: A Land of Blossoms

The Immortal Palace Jade Hall, beneath the blood-colored peach blossoms, was continuously disintegrating, with more and more blood-colored petals filling the Celestial Palace.And the space within that Celestial Palace was nearly unable to sustain, struggling to contain the petals within.

Inside the Celestial Void Palace, numerous strong cultivators saw the Celestial King take action to suppress Jin Taohua, just as they had breathed a sigh of relief, only to see the Celestial Palace, like a mirage, blooming with clusters of blood-colored flowers.

Instantly, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically; despite the Celestial King’s power, he had not fully suppressed Jin Taohua.

"Not good... Retreat quickly..." The Family Head of the Gong Family, seeing things take a turn for the worse, immediately ordered all members of the Gong Family to withdraw.

Unfortunately, it was already too late; everywhere inside the Celestial Palace, cracks appeared, and countless petals, like celestial maidens scattering flowers, descended upon the Celestial Void Palace, engulfing the whole world.

The strong cultivators of the Gong Family fought back vigorously, but no matter what power touched the petals, they only turned into more petals.

No matter how many Gong Family cultivators there were, under such an unconquerable power, they seemed as weak as ants.

Some strong cultivators of the Celestial Void Palace attempted to forcibly escape, but their powers couldn’t penetrate the blood-colored petals, and their bodies transformed into petals upon contact, falling onto the ground, disappearing without a trace.

Numerous pets landed, countless Secret Treasures fell, numerous Gong Family cultivators turned into mud upon landing.

At that moment, the Celestial King’s eyes were filled with rage, for despite deploying every means, he couldn’t stop Jin Taohua, forced to watch helplessly as the Celestial Void Palace was destroyed, as his descendants turned into petals and vanished.

Over his eight hundred years as Celestial King, he had never faced such humiliation.

The Celestial King knew, that if he didn’t advance to the Tenth Awakening, he simply couldn’t stop Jin Taohua; however, if he did advance to the Tenth Awakening, the Spirit Devouring God would descend to take him away.

Yet now he had no other choice; he could only advance to the Tenth Awakening, hoping to settle with Jin Taohua before the Spirit Devouring God arrived.

"Since it’s this way, Jin Taohua, let’s end this today." The Celestial King’s eyes were cold, his Primordial Energy surged, transforming into divine light illuminating the heavens.

Under the radiance of this divine light, the formerly ruined Celestial Palace underwent earth-shattering changes, new Celestial Palaces appeared out of thin air, enveloping the dilapidated Celestial Palace within.

The ever-expanding Celestial Palace engulfed the Celestial Void Palace as well, protecting many descendants of the Gong Family.

The Celestial King himself transformed into a body of ten-thousand-foot divine light, standing between heaven and earth like a true deity, the surrounding space altered with his every breath, fluctuating unpredictably.

Jin Taohua’s body, resembling a distorted reflection in a funhouse mirror, was warped by the twisted space.

Her eyes showed coldness, but also contained traces of seriousness.

Every Celestial King is a once-in-a-millennium presence in the mortal world, practically invincible.

To guard the Great Cave Heaven, they suppressed their own cultivation from advancing to the Tenth Awakening, avoiding fights with top-level beings, fearing they couldn’t restrain their own level, yet their realm continuously improved.

Eight hundred years ago, they stood at the Ninth Awakening Peak, and eight hundred years later, they still stood at the Ninth Awakening Peak, but their realm had long surpassed the mere Ninth Awakening Peak.

Now, completely unrestrained, they instantly enter the Tenth Awakening; although newly in the Tenth Awakening form, the power and might unleashed far exceed the usual level 91 Tenth Awakening.

"Above, a day; below, a thousand years have passed. A hundred years of life, a fleeting bloom, nothing but a mortal clay. Spend the rest of your life within the Celestial Palace." The Celestial King struck with a palm, divine light transformed into an ever-changing palatial structure, pinning Jin Taohua within.

It seemed as though she was merely suppressed by the palace, but the space within this palace defied conventional logic; Jin Taohua appeared not far from the palace gates.

But if she truly attempted to walk, it might take a million years and still not reach the gate.

However, within that palace space, time held no meaning, nor did perception indicators exist.

Perhaps she felt she had walked for only a short time, while millennia passed outside, by then even if she emerged, countless generations might have elapsed, rendering it pointless.

The Celestial King’s fingers curved, drawing the palace suppressing Jin Taohua closer to his palm, shrinking with proximity.

In the instant when the palace landed in the Celestial King’s palm, a streak of blood flew forth from the palace doors.

In that moment, it pierced through the Celestial King’s brow, while Jin Taohua appeared behind him, her hand wielding a Peach Blossom Sword formed of flowers, its tip dripping with blood, which transformed into petals in mid-air.

On the Celestial King’s forehead, petals notably flew away from the wound, departing his body.

"How... did you escape the Celestial Palace..." The Celestial King looked at Jin Taohua, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Because of this." Jin Taohua’s other hand held an unusual ruler, unmistakably Long Li’s Celestial Measuring Ruler.

Even spanning millions of light-years, the Celestial Measuring Ruler allowed her to arrive instantly, the Celestial Palace couldn’t bind her.

Chen Guan anticipated Jin Taohua would seek the Celestial King, hence had Long Li lend the Celestial Measuring Ruler to her for use, precisely to contain the Celestial King.

"A spatial Secret Treasure..." The Celestial King spoke, even as his body transformed into countless petals, scattering.

Yet as the Celestial King dissipated, the Celestial Palace remained.

The Celestial Palace doors swung open, and the intact Celestial King unexpectedly stepped out from within.

"You might have slain the me within that space, but you cannot kill the me from this space; within endless spaces exists endless versions of me. I am eternally immortal, while you possess but one opportunity..." he said, raising his hand anew, the surrounding space distorted by his movement, the palace fluctuated continuously.

Jin Taohua’s eyes burned, knowing that slaying a Celestial King was no easy task.

As Jin Taohua unleashed her power anew, it wasn’t only blood-colored petals descending from the sky.

Countless multicolored flowers fell, outshining the celestial palace sprawling across the sky.

Watching the celestial sky garden emerge, the Celestial King knew the tide had turned, he lost the opportunity to kill Jin Taohua.

"Come with me." The Spirit Devouring God’s voice echoed from the Sky Garden, reigning like the sovereign ruler of the world, seated atop the throne of multicolored blossoms, gazing down upon the mortal realm.

"She’s Tenth Awakening too; she doesn’t belong here and should be taken to the Celestial Secret Realm as well." the Celestial King pointed at Jin Taohua.

The Spirit Devouring God didn’t respond to the Celestial King, innumerable blossoms fell, petals landed on the Celestial King, transforming into floral ribbons, binding him, pulling him toward the Celestial Secret Realm.

No matter how unwilling he was, the Celestial King couldn’t break free, forced to fly towards the Celestial Secret Realm.

Jin Taohua extended her finger, petals rained down on the Celestial Void Palace, innumerable Gong Family strong cultivators and Celestial Void Palace structures, transforming into thriving flowers on the ground.

"Jin Taohua... I will kill you..." the Celestial King felt a madness-inducing rage within his chest.

"That’s something I said many years ago, now it’s your turn." Jin Taohua replied calmly.
