Several Nine-star Great Emperors, hidden deep within the void, relentlessly scrutinized Lu Xuan. He stood there, high above the ruins, looking utterly Calm and Collected, as if completely unaware of the murderous intent surrounding him.
The Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes. “At this point, is the White Robe Great Emperor still putting on an act?”
He prepared to strike immediately.
Another Demon Race Great Emperor frowned deeply, stopping him. “Wait, don’t move yet! I sense something extremely strange about this White Robe Great Emperor. He appears to be full of flaws, yet I have an Instinctive Sense that if we attack, we will perish!”
Other Alien Race Supreme Great Emperors nodded in agreement. “We feel it too.”
Cultivators who reached their level placed immense importance on this Instinctive Sense. It was better to trust it than to dismiss it.
The Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor scoffed. “That is merely the White Robe Great Emperor’s smoke and mirrors, designed to make you hesitate! You’re seeing what he wants you to see!”
The cautious magnates shook their heads. “Let’s observe a little longer.”
At that moment, Lu Xuan, still standing in the void, raised his hand and casually pressed down toward the remnants of the Heavenly Net Mountain Range, where the last elders of the Heavenly Net General Hall were barely clinging to life.
“Boom!”
An incomparably terrifying power condensed between Heaven and Earth. A colossal palm print, vast as a falling star, descended upon the Heavenly Net Mountain Range, erupting with brilliant Divine Radiance. It was utterly unstoppable.
On the mountain range below, the surviving elders were like stunned puppets, sitting or leaning against the crumbling walls. Their eyes were hollow, their faces reflecting a complete surrender to despair. The power of the Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Array had already drained most of their vitality, leaving them as little more than mud statues.
Some elders looked up at the towering palm print above, and instead of fear, a maniacal cackle escaped their lips. “Jie, jie, jie…”
Pfft!
The massive palm landed, instantly pulverizing the entire mountain range into dust, leaving behind an infinitely deep, dark chasm.
With that, every soul within the Heavenly Net General Hall was annihilated.
Witnessing this scene, cultivators across Tianluo State felt their bodies and minds tremble with shock.
The Heavenly Net General Hall had been wiped out, just like that!
Under the leadership of Duan Hunsheng, the Heavenly Net Hall had grown savagely, slaughtering and rampaging across the Human States, unchallenged by anyone. Who could have imagined that such an Overlord-level Power would collapse and disintegrate in a single day?
Deep in the void, the Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor let out a chilling laugh. “Do you see now? This White Robe Great Emperor is Strong Outwardly, Weak Inwardly! That last palm strike was just a performance for us, meant to prove he still has the strength to fight! But I can see through his bluff!”
The other Supreme Great Emperors frowned. “Wait a moment longer. Don’t be hasty!”
At this time, Lu Xuan’s gaze swept across Tianluo State. He addressed the numerous powerful figures concealed in the void, his voice slow and deliberate.
“Everyone! The Heavenly Net General Hall is now destroyed! Next, my eldest disciple, Ji Fuyao, will proceed to eradicate the remaining Heavenly Net Hall Branches!”
“If any faction dares to obstruct my disciple’s campaign to wipe out the Heavenly Net Hall Branches, I will personally visit your domain and annihilate your Dao tradition!”
The sound was like a massive bronze bell, echoing throughout the void.
Everyone was utterly stunned. It was clear that the White Robe Great Emperor was actively trying to Build Prestige for Ji Fuyao.
Circumstances create heroes!
It was well known that the Heavenly Net Hall had offended countless major factions over the past few millennia. Now, Ji Fuyao was leveraging this momentum to destroy the remaining branches, which would undoubtedly rally numerous Overlord-level Powers across the states to her banner.
If Ji Fuyao successfully led the annihilation of the Heavenly Net Hall Branches, her prestige in the Southern Wilds would become unstoppable. This was the White Robe Great Emperor paving the way for her rise.
For a moment, everyone sighed with emotion. “A Master should be like the White Robe Great Emperor! In contrast, Lu Xuan…”
They trailed off, unable to finish the thought. Lu Xuan, after all, was the god of the opposite direction.
In the distance, Jiujun Old Ancestor stepped out of the void and flew toward Lu Xuan. “Fellow Daoist, may I have a word in private?”
Lu Xuan slightly raised an eyebrow. “Very well.”
Jiujun Old Ancestor flicked his sleeve, and endless, brilliant Dao patterns surged up in the void, sealing the space around Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan asked, “Fellow Daoist, what is the matter?”
Jiujun Old Ancestor’s expression was grave. “Fellow Daoist, I suggest you quickly use Traversing the Void and leave with the Ye family and Ji Fuyao! There are those who are planning to strike you in secret right now!”
Lu Xuan’s lips curved into a slight smile. “Oh?”
He had naturally already detected the Nine-star Great Emperors of the Demon and Alien Races hidden in the dark, but he simply couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.
Jiujun Old Ancestor asked, “Fellow Daoist, are you severely injured?”
Lu Xuan replied casually, “I merely killed a mere Duan Hunsheng. I am completely unharmed.”
Jiujun Old Ancestor’s face twitched, and he shook his head subtly.
He didn’t believe it. The White Robe Great Emperor must be injured; the only question was whether he could still fight. He couldn’t understand why the White Robe Great Emperor was so confident.
Jiujun Old Ancestor had done his best by offering the warning. Whether the White Robe Great Emperor listened was his own business. He then inquired about Tianyuan Old Ancestor.
Lu Xuan assured Jiujun Old Ancestor that Tianyuan Old Ancestor was perfectly fine.
Meanwhile, deep in the void, the Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor gnashed his teeth in fury. “Damn Jiujun! You’re truly a busybody, sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong!”
The other Supreme Great Emperors were more cautious. “It doesn’t matter! We will wait for the perfect moment for a fatal blow. If the moment doesn’t come, we won’t strike.”
Suddenly, “Boom!”
The void tore open!
Space twisted violently!
Three more Supreme Great Emperors stepped out of the spatial rift. Their Nine-star Emperor aura surged forth like a tidal wave, pouring out in all directions, resembling three massive stars abruptly appearing in the sky.
Everyone present felt a profound palpitation. Their blood almost surged uncontrollably, and many weaker cultivators immediately spat out a mouthful of vital blood, fainting on the spot.
Everyone was shocked. Three more Nine-star Great Emperors had arrived in concert!
These three Supreme Great Emperors concealed their true aura and did not reveal their true appearance. They were none other than the Blood Demon Race Old Ancestor and his two allies, who had previously pursued Tianyuan Old Ancestor!
The Blood Demon Race Old Ancestor’s gaze swept across Tianluo State, and he frowned slightly, a hint of shock in his eyes.
Were they too late?
Looking around, Tianluo State had become a wasteland. Mountains had collapsed, rivers were severed, and the True Dragon Bloodshed Stance had been forcibly broken, leaving the Heaven and Earth Momentum extremely chaotic. Faint, desolate Divine Radiance still emanated from the withered Great Emperor Formation Pattern Fragment remnants.
The Blood Demon Race Old Ancestor reached out, and a Human Three-star Great Emperor in grey robes was instantly snatched from the crowd. The elder trembled violently, screaming in terror. “Senior, spare me!”
The Blood Demon Race Old Ancestor coldly snorted and immediately performed a Soul Search.
Moments later, the Blood Demon Race Old Ancestor slowly opened his eyes. A purple light cluster, the memory projection he had extracted from the elder, appeared in his hand. He tossed the purple cluster to the two Demon Race Great Emperors accompanying him and spoke flatly.
“I didn’t expect Duan Hunsheng to actually die! In that case, the White Robe Great Emperor must be severely injured! This is our opportunity!”
As he spoke, the Blood Demon Race Old Ancestor squeezed his hand tightly.
Pfft!
The grey-robed elder’s head exploded like a watermelon. Blood splattered everywhere.
Instant kill!
The Blood Demon Race Old Ancestor opened his mouth, which transformed into a hideous, bloody maw, and he swallowed the grey-robed elder whole.
Crunch! Crunch!
Engaging in Barbaric Cannibalism, the Blood Demon Race Old Ancestor ate the man bone and all, red blood dripping from the corner of his lips. He licked his mouth, not wasting a single drop of Emperor Blood.
Witnessing this, all the human cultivators present retreated in horror.
Terrifying!
A Human Three-star Great Emperor was devoured just like that!
Considering that there were other Human Supreme Great Emperors present, how dare the Alien Race Great Emperor be so arrogant and brazen? He clearly held the human race in utter contempt!
In the darkness, a Human Supreme Great Emperor coldly snorted. “Blood Demon Old Ancestor, what is the meaning of this?”
The Blood Demon Race Old Ancestor licked his lips, a sinister smile spreading across his face, as if still savoring the taste. “It’s been a long time since I tasted human flesh. The flavor is as delicious as ever. Don’t worry, I’ll only eat this one.”
