Chapter 1433 Cat-And-Mouse 1433 Cat-And-Mouse With a hundred elite soldiers at his command, the Supreme General wasted no time, setting off immediately on his mission to hunt down Tian Xian. Among these elite soldiers, 80 were at the True Immortal realm, 15 at the 1st level God Ascension realm, and the remaining 5 at the 2nd level God Ascension realm. At that time, the strongest cultivator was only at the 5th level God Ascension realm, so one can imagine the immense prowess of this elite army compared to the ordinary soldiers, who were at most Golden Immortal level. As for Tian Xian, he was only a True Immortal at this time, so it was overkill to send so many powerful experts after him, but the Supreme General couldn't care less and wanted to get rid of Tian Xian without giving him any chance of survival. However, even though the Supreme General had such a powerful army at his command, they still had to find Tian Xian first. Due to the immense size of their world, the Divine Heaven, it would take hundreds if not thousands of years to travel around the world even with the help of flying treasure, hence why Tian Xian hadn't been caught after 100 years of carnage, as he would immediately leave after killing his enemies. Moreover, Tian Xian was only a single individual, which made it even harder to track him down. The Supreme General could only show up to witness the aftermath of Tian Xian's carnage, then attempt to predict his next destination and hope to close their gap, but with battles between the Celestial Emperor's supporters and Heaven's Defiance occurring in hundreds of locations around the world, it was easier said than done. Whenever Tian Xian's sixth sense alerted him of imminent danger, he would immediately halt his killing spree and hide for several years to enter secluded cultivation, further increasing his strength and making it even more difficult for the Supreme General to catch him. This tricky cat-and-mouse game between Tian Xian and the Supreme General would last for another 300 years until Tian Xian broke through the True Immortal realm and entered first-level God Ascension. Once Tian Xian entered the God Ascension realm, he became much bolder and started attacking the Celestial Emperor's forces even more frequently. "W-who are you?! Why are you attacking our Gu Family?!" "Do you have any idea who you're messing with!? We have the Celestial Emperor's backing!" "Ahhhh! Have mercy!" "Please! Spare my children!" "M-monster! You are not human, you monster!" Tian Xian ignored their screaming and slaughtered all of them without any mercy, regardless of their age or gender. Once Tian Xian left the Gu Family's household without leaving a single person alive, he lingered in the place for a moment to uproot the entire building, something he hadn't bother doing before. "FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING?!" The Celestial Emperor blew a massive hole in his room after receiving news of the Gu Family's destruction. For the past 300 years, he had endured the relentless onslaught of news reporting the annihilation of his allies by Tian Xian, each report tearing away at the fabric of his power and influence. As for the Supreme General, he didn't dare to return to the Celestial Palace without Tian Xian's head in his grasp, so he has been absent for 300 years, and his absence left a conspicuous void within the ranks of the Celestial Army. Meanwhile, when Heaven's Defiance learned of his absence, they immediately became more aggressive and daring, further complicating the already challenging situation for the Celestial Army. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶 After another 200 years of no results, the Celestial Emperor called back the Supreme General. "You are fucking fired, you useless piece of shit! I gave you 500 years to hunt down a single man and what have you accomplished in 500 years?! Absolutely nothing!" The Celestial Emperor slapped the Supreme General so hard he fell on the ground. However, the Celestial Emperor didn't stop there and started kicking and stomping on the Supreme General while he was still down. Even though the Supreme General was an Immortal, he didn't dare to retaliate against the Celestial Emperor and accepted the beating without uttering a single sound. "T-this useless subordinate has failed Your Majesty, the Celestial Emperor. I don't deserve my position." The Supreme General immediately got on his knees after the Celestial Emperor stopped beating him. "Scram!" The Celestial Emperor shouted at him. "Excuse me." The Supreme General immediately left. After leaving the Celestial Palace and going somewhere far away, the Supreme General unleashed all of his built-up anger on a random city, killing thousands of innocent mortals. "TIAN XIAN! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! I, MO RU, SWEAR TO HUNT YOU DOWN UNTIL MY LAST BREATH!" After destroying an innocent city, Mo Ru resumed his hunt for Tian Xian alone, hoping to regain the Celestial Emperor's trust and his position as the Supreme General with Tian Xian's head. A thousand years later, Mo Ru finally encountered Tian Xian. However, it wasn't because Mo Ru had successfully hunted down Tian Xian. In fact, it was the other way around with Tian Xian hunting down Mo Ru. "I have finally found you, Evil God!" Mo Ru's entire being trembled from excitement after seeing Tian Xian. "Because of you, I was removed from my position as Supreme General! Because of you, the Celestial Emperor tossed me aside! You will regret ever challenging the Celestial Emperor today!" "..." Tian Xian remained silent. Suddenly, as though a tempest of rage had been unleashed, a titanic wave of bloodlust surged forth from Tian Xian's body, enveloping the heavens and the earth in its oppressive aura, spanning a vast expanse of a hundred miles in every direction. And as if in response to his immense emotions, the very fabric of the heavens seemed to tremble, unleashing torrents of red and black lightning that crackled and danced ominously in the skies above. In a voice that seemed to chill the very air around him, Tian Xian muttered with a tone that could freeze the blood in one's veins and even raise the dead, his eyes ablaze with a profound and unsettling glow, like smoldering embers in the darkness. "I have been waiting for this day for over a thousand years…!"
