Chapter 1287 - Chapter 1287 Chapter 1287 Catching a Turtle in a Jar

Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: Catching a Turtle in a Jar Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: Catching a Turtle in a Jar Such a brutal battle had shattered mountains and rivers, sunk lands, and evaporated oceans, but what it brought in return was the unexpected elevation of Earth itself.

It had a distinct flavor of breaking before establishing.

“Master, the spatial barriers of the Earth now are of such high quality that they can almost compare with many advanced civilization planets in the universe,” Jiang Yuan exclaimed in admiration. “I couldn’t have imagined that it was possible to cultivate and level up on Earth. Earth is improving rapidly!”

Indeed, Earth had reached a level where Profound Immortals could upgrade! This was an incredible achievement!

“It is only a few notches below the realms of the Long Clan, the Immortals, and the demons,” the Seventh Princess objectively assessed. “Of course, it’s still far from matching Hell Planet. But it’s clearly top-tier in the universe now. Little Long, you’ve practically transformed a low-level planet into a high-civilization one with your own hands. Such a grand achievement, even my father, if he knew, would be singing praises for you! I think–maybe my father might even agree to our affair.”

At this point, the Seventh Princess couldn’t help but show a hint of bashful beauty.

“Of course,” Huang Xiaolong smiled. Once again focusing his gaze, he saw that the world around him was filled with energies that were pure, bright, noble, and sacred.

After Zehui had completely refined and cleared Earth of all Immortal and demon corpses, he too transformed into human form and reverently stood behind Huang Xiaolong, saying humbly, “The grand Long King will surely accept the master, and you will become the first alien son-in-law in the history of the Long Clan. Master, you deserve such an honor and, of course, the Seventh Princess.”

Hearing Zehui’s flattering words, the Seventh Princess felt as if her heart was filled with honey, sweet to the core.

Just then–

Boom~~~!!!

A golden light pathway rose from one of the altars!

“Hm?” Huang Xiaolong and the others immediately shifted their attention.

However, this time there wasn’t an Immortal coming through, but rather, a tremendous will descended upon Earth.

“It’s the will of an Immortal Emperor!” Jiang Yuan shivered instinctively.

In that instant, all the people of Earth felt as if they were being spied upon. Those with slightly weaker cultivation felt as if the secrets buried deep in their hearts were exposed!

This Immortal Emperor’s will took only a brief scan to understand the changes occurring on Earth at this very moment, insightfully.

“How preposterous!!!”

The Immortal Emperor’s will became furiously enraged, almost apoplectic.

“Hahaha~~~” Huang Xiaolong burst into laughter. “How about that, the current state of Earth isn’t too bad, is it? Sorry for not meeting your expectations from the Immortal Realm. You must have thought that Earth would remain barren and devastated, right? But in fact, the Earth is getting better and better.”

“I get it! I get it! Beast! Huang Xiaolong, you fiend who should be slashed a thousand times! You actually used the corpses of Immortals to infuse into the spatial barriers of Earth, repairing the heavens, and elevating Earth even further! You devil! Yes, having acquired Hell Planet, you are indeed a top-tier demon in the universe! The entire universe, including the realms of Immortals, demons, dragons, and even any civilization planet, will see you as the common enemy, an enemy that everyone should eliminate!” This Immortal Emperor’s will, burning with rage, seemed as if it wanted to crush Earth itself.

“Enough with your incessant babbling,” Huang Xiaolong said with a dry laugh. “You’ve already spied on the intelligence you wanted from the Immortal Realm, so hurry up and leave. Since the Immortal Realm despises me to the bone, you Immortal Emperors might as well come down to Earth, I Huang Xiaolong am not afraid to fight you.”

This caught the Immortal Emperor’s will off guard!

Huang Xiaolong fully knew he couldn’t descend, yet he deliberately provoked him, nearly making the Immortal Emperor explode with rage.

“You vile beast, Huang Xiaolong, you are truly insane! For any civilization planet, the Immortal Realm is the heaven! You defy not only the laws but also the heavens themselves; you even dare to disrespect the heavens?” The Immortal Emperor’s will spoke from a place of high authority.

“Hahaha–Heaven? Lawless? What a joke! The Immortal Realm is neither my heaven nor Earth’s heaven. Our Earth has its own laws, and Earth has its own heaven! Earth will not submit to any force!” Huang Xiaolong retorted coldly.

This statement made all Earth’s inhabitants’ blood boil.

Huang Xiaolong actually confronted the Immortal Emperor head-on, arguing with reason, a courage that was extremely rare even in the universe. This made the people of Earth willingly support Huang Xiaolong as their leader once again.

The exchange between Huang Xiaolong and the Immortal Emperor’s will invisibly increased Earth’s cohesion even further.

“You vile beast, just wait! Wait to face a second attack from the Immortal Realm! This time, it won’t just be the weak fodder! Do you think, your Earth can withstand it?” The Immortal Emperor’s will threatened a few more words, then completely vanished, and the golden light pathway also dissipated into nothing.

The people of Earth, feeling that invasive and inescapable sensation rapidly receding, all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Jiang Yuan, can you tell me what the second celestial attack will be like?” Huang Xiaolong called over Jiang Yuan, the Profound Immortal, and with a wave of his hand, sent hundreds of billions of Earth’s people and tens of millions of the chosen back into the underworld to recuperate.

Now on Earth, only Huang Xiaolong’s wives and some core members remained.

“Master, from what this servant sees–the celestial realm will organize a group of elite Profound Immortals to attack Earth again.” Jiang Yuan considered carefully before replying. “The number will certainly not be small. Nowadays, the reinforced spatial barriers of Earth have also provided the necessary conditions for the descent of the Profound Immortal troops.”

In fact, Huang Xiaolong’s repair and reinforcement of Earth’s spatial barriers had provided the fundamental conditions for the large-scale arrival of the celestial forces.

After pausing for a moment, Jiang Yuan continued, “These Profound Immortals will surely form an Immortal Array and besiege you, Master.”

Huang Xiaolong understood.

The celestial realm’s second punitive expedition would most likely be a dense onslaught of Profound Immortals, the celestial realm’s elite main force, skilled in various Immortal Artifacts and capable of setting up Formations, tremendously boosting their combat power.

The celestial realm’s second attack on Earth would not employ a disorganized mob, but rather a formidable army.

“Master, setting aside other matters, I wonder if Earth can withstand such a large-scale and high-level battle,” Xu Fu also expressed some concerns.

“This time, I must teach the celestial realm a profoundly deep lesson,” Huang Xiaolong frowned, deep in thought, and murmured to himself, “We cannot blindly fight like in the first battle. Although we won the first battle, Earth also nearly got shattered and we lost the lives of tens of thousands of the chosen. The upcoming battle needs to be well arranged and planned, to win with the least cost–”

Win with the minimum cost?

People standing around Huang Xiaolong were somewhat flabbergasted.

Honestly speaking, with Earth at a disadvantage in the conflict, and with lessons from the previous battle, the celestial realm would surely be more cautious and bring down even more superior Immortal Artifacts.

Frankly, whether Earth could win was highly questionable, let alone striking a heavy blow to the celestial realm with minimal cost.

After pondering for a few minutes, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes brightened, seemingly concocting a bold idea!

“Little Long, what wicked plan have you thought of now?” The Seventh Princess, having been married to Huang Xiaolong for a long time, shared a tacit understanding with him.

Immediately, Huang Xiaolong took out some talisman papers, carefully drew on them, and handed the finished talismans to Xu Fu and others, instructing them to paste one on every altar on Earth that communicated with the celestial realm.

These talismans weren’t very powerful–merely preventing the celestial realm from spying on Earth for some time. Even if the Immortal Emperor tried to peek at Earth, the talisman would instantly burn, serving as an early warning and letting Huang Xiaolong know immediately.

After getting this done, Huang Xiaolong smiled meaningfully. “This time, I’m preparing to ‘catch a turtle in a jar!'”

Catch a turtle in a jar?

Everyone looked at Huang Xiaolong with curious eyes.

“Yes,” Huang Xiaolong nodded, looking towards Zehui in his humanoid form. “Zehui’s Dragon Refining World secret technique, capable of refining one world after another, one planet after another, is not something to be taken lightly–then–”

“Little Long!” Chuxia’s eyes widened. “You wouldn’t be planning on having the dragons set up a grand Formation to refine all the descending celestial troops, would you?”

Huang Xiaolong snapped his fingers, “Little wife, you catch on fast! Exactly! Set up a trap, let the celestial troops walk right into it!”

While speaking, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shone brightly, “I will draw some talismans to conceal our aura, implanting them into the 9,999 dragons that Zehui splits into. Then, the 9,999 dragons will ambush on the surface of Earth, weaving the Dragon Refining World secret technique–”

“After obtaining Hell’s planet, I have also gleaned some extremely sinister Formations,” Huang Xiaolong continued with great interest. “These sinister grand Formations, some of which share the ingenious mechanism of the Dragon Refining World secret technique, can refine beings. Meanwhile, some are trapping Formations, ensnaring enemies within, preventing escape, and some are akin to mazes.”

“I will urgently set up a vast array of Formations, stealthily hidden within Earth’s spatial barriers.”

Huang Xiaolong grew more and more triumphant. “By the time the celestial realm sounds the second attack, countless Profound Immortals descending to Earth will be met by being alive and refined! Just like being thrown into boiling oil, they won’t be able to escape! Their celestial bodies will become great nourishment for Earth’s evolution! In this way, without expending a single soldier, we will achieve victory!”

“This is what is called ‘catching a turtle in a jar’! Profound Immortals are the backbone and cornerstone of the celestial realm. In this battle, as many Profound Immortals that come, that many will perish. I want to inflict deep pain on the celestial realm, strike a severe blow to their vitality, engrave such fear in the celestial realm that they tremble in dread!”

A sharp gleam flashed through Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

“Master! This plan is brilliant!” Jiang Yuan exclaimed.
