“How is this possible?!” The Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor roared, his massive body tearing apart as the Great Emperor Formation Pattern Dao patterns covering him dimmed rapidly. He couldn't accept it! He was a member of the Stone Demon Saint Race, naturally endowed with astonishing defense. Usually, three to five Nine-star Great Emperors couldn't easily breach his defenses! This was precisely why he had dared to bet his life against the White Robe Great Emperor. He was certain he had seen through the White Robe Great Emperor's scheme: the man had to be exhausted! If only he could hold out until the White Robe Great Emperor lost his peak power, he could crush him with a flick of a finger.
“Hold! Block it!” The Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor’s eyes were splitting with rage. He gritted his teeth, blood essence surging. He even resorted to Soul Combustion, pushing his physical defense to the absolute limit. Endless, hard profound stones materialized around him, shining with brilliant divine light, like stars floating in the void. He forcefully condensed his Nine-star Emperor Realm Stance, hoping to withstand Lu Xuan’s terrifying killing power. But it was useless. It was utterly useless! Lu Xuan’s punch was the embodiment of his peak power, capable of an Instant Kill against a Nine-star Great Emperor. The Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor was completely defenseless. The punch was devastating, unstoppable, and overwhelmingly fierce. The speed at which the Stone Demon’s Dao patterns reformed couldn’t keep up with the speed at which they were annihilated.
Boom! His physical body shattered abruptly, countless cracks appearing. The colossal form, like a collapsing mountain, began to crumble into countless fragments. Bleeding profusely, the Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor glared at Lu Xuan, desperate to confirm his theory. “White Robe Great Emperor, I was right, wasn’t I? After this strike, you’ll have no fighting strength left!”
Lu Xuan nodded casually. “That’s right. After throwing that punch, I’ll only have the power of a Four-star Great Emperor left.”
After all, Lu Xuan thought internally, the Eight-star Great Emperor Experience Card is about to expire.
“Hahahahaha! I saw through you! You’re dead! All of you, attack now!” “Kill him! Right now! Immediately! At once!” The Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor screamed like a madman, roaring at the other Alien Race Great Emperors and Demon Race Great Emperors. But not a single person moved. They all stared at the Stone Demon Old Ancestor as if he were an idiot.
“Hurry! You fools! Go kill the White Robe Great Emperor!” the Stone Demon Old Ancestor shrieked. Lu Xuan’s lips curled into a slight, amused smile. He didn’t bother hiding anything, speaking plainly. “I’m about to drop down to Four-star Great Emperor. You are welcome to strike.”
The assembled Great Emperors shook their heads frantically. We don’t believe your nonsense! they thought. Previously in Cloud State (Yunzhou), this White Robe Great Emperor pretended to be a Seven-star. Now, in Tianluo State, he pretended to be an Eight-star. And now he claims he’s weak? Humans are indeed insidious and cunning scoundrels! The Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor pointed at Lu Xuan, desperate to attack again, but the heart is willing, but the strength is insufficient to reverse the situation! He was unwilling! He was furious! But it was over. His life force had reached its absolute end. The Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor let out a mournful cry. “Ah! Ah... I was right, but I couldn’t prevail! My greatest failure was making allies with this group of idiots!”
The next instant, Crack! Crack! The Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor’s body completely disintegrated into countless stone fragments, then turned to dust, scattering on the wind. Instant Kill! He was annihilated by a single punch from Lu Xuan!
Silence descended upon the world. Everyone stared at Lu Xuan, their hearts filled with terror. The Stone Demon Saint Race, renowned for being virtually indestructible, had been so effortlessly annihilated! The Fire Dragon Old Ancestor and the Golden Crow Old Ancestor were both deeply shaken. It seemed their decision to submit had been profoundly wise. This White Robe Great Emperor was truly unbeatable! That power seemed to transcend the Nine-star Great Emperor realm entirely!
Lu Xuan stood tall in the void, gently brushing a speck of dust from his immaculate white robe. With perfect elegance, he spoke slowly. “I don’t enjoy killing, nor do I have any interest in it. However, if anyone dares to use their seniority to bully my three disciples, I will kill them.”
The moment the words fell, everyone felt a chill run down their spine. He doesn’t enjoy killing? they thought. He’s utterly ruthless!
Just then, an Alien Race Great Emperor looked at Lu Xuan with immense respect. “White God, are you perhaps not a Nine-star Great Emperor?” They knew that one Nine-star Great Emperor could not so casually execute another of the same rank! Unless the White Robe Great Emperor was a Half-step Supreme! But the Heaven and Earth Change had not yet fully opened. Half-step Supremes were currently restricted from moving freely, forced to seal themselves in forbidden lands or isolated minor worlds. How could the White Robe Great Emperor act so casually? This completely overturned the understanding of the Heavenly Dao that had persisted for several epochs!
Lu Xuan replied calmly, “I am not a Nine-star Great Emperor.”
The powerful cultivators trembled, gasping in shock. “Just as we thought!” If he wasn’t a Nine-star Great Emperor, he had to be at least a Half-step Supreme!
Lu Xuan smiled faintly and told them the truth. “I am a Four-star Great Emperor. In fact, I’m no longer a match for any of you. Forget Nine-star Great Emperors, even an Eight-star Great Emperor could kill me now.”
Everyone froze. Ah, this... He was “fishing” again! This White Robe Great Emperor was clearly overwhelmingly powerful, yet he always loved to play the game of ‘acting weak to eat the tiger’! No one believed a word Lu Xuan said.
The image of the Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor’s sudden demise was burned into their minds. Who would dare repeat that mistake? Had they not just witnessed the Fire Dragon Old Ancestor and the Golden Crow Old Ancestor transform into pathetic ‘demon pets’ in the void, wiggling their tails and butts to curry favor with the White Robe Great Emperor, completely devoid of any Nine-star Great Emperor dignity? Lu Xuan maintained his expression of complete indifference, taking in their reactions.
The System commented with disdain, “Wow, you really pulled off that bluff!”
Lu Xuan, completely unperturbed, replied, “Everything is within my control.” Though, I was definitely dancing on a razor’s edge just now, he admitted internally. The Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor had been clever, but unfortunately, no one believed him. Lu Xuan had seen through their caution all along.
Soon after, the hidden Demon Race Great Emperors, Alien Race Great Emperors, and Human Supreme Great Emperors slowly emerged from the depths of the void, their faces respectful as they bowed to Lu Xuan. “White God, Senior!” “White God, Senior!”
Lu Xuan nodded faintly, adopting the manner of an Apex Great Emperor, a transcendent figure. His white robe billowed, fluttering in the wind, making him look like a deity descending upon the world. The human cultivators cried out in awe, “White God is invincible!” “Who, besides the one with triple snow on his body, is worthy of the white robe?!” This was the White God!
Ji Fuyao bit her lip, a wave of warmth washing over her heart. She knew her Master was extremely low-key; if it weren’t for her, he would never have acted. He would probably still be lying flat on Azure Mystery Peak, she mused.
Not far away, the Fire Dragon Old Ancestor and the Golden Crow Old Ancestor transformed back into human forms and bowed to Lu Xuan. Then, both of them immediately struck out at the Fire Dragon Race and Golden Crow Race members behind them.
Boom! Terrifying palm prints descended! The many Fire Dragons and Golden Crows panicked. “Old Ancestor, what are you doing?” “Old Ancestor is going to kill us, no! No...” Several Emperor Realm Experts from the Golden Crow and Fire Dragon races screamed, instantly crushed to death. However, their life force was annihilated, but their physical bodies remained completely intact!
Everyone was stunned. Had the Fire Dragon Old Ancestor and Golden Crow Old Ancestor lost their minds?
In the next moment, the two Old Ancestors collected the bodies of the Emperor Realm Experts into Storage Rings and presented them to Lu Xuan with utmost reverence. “White God, Senior, these are gifts of food for you.”
Lu Xuan paused slightly, then accepted the Storage Rings. “Not bad. Not bad.” The two Old Ancestors grinned obsequiously.
Everyone present felt massive waves crash in their hearts. Who could have imagined that two great Demon Race Old Ancestors would slaughter their own Emperor-level kin just to please Lu Xuan? The other Demon Race Supreme Great Emperors’ expressions shifted slightly. While they maintained a calm facade, they cursed internally. Demon Race will never be slaves! If the Lord of the Demon Court were to awaken and learn of this, he would surely annihilate the Golden Crow Race and the Fire Dragon Race! How could the spine of the Demon Race bend so low? Currently, the White Robe Great Emperor was indeed powerful, seemingly invincible, but they knew this wasn't the absolute truth. Once more ancient overlords emerged, there would certainly be ways to kill him. And with the Bronze Ancient Palace reappearing and the Heaven and Earth Change opening, he would lose his current advantage. Therefore, several Demon Race Supreme Great Emperors concluded that the White Robe Great Emperor would not dare to push things too far. Treating him with the respect due to a Senior was their limit. To act like the Golden Crow Old Ancestor and Fire Dragon Old Ancestor was nothing short of selling out their race for glory. They held them in utter contempt.
Lu Xuan glanced at Ji Fuyao and the Ye Family members. “Time to go back.” He flicked his sleeve, holding the hundred-mile landmass of the Ye Family in one hand, preparing to use a Supreme Great Emperor Formation Pattern to leave the area.
Before departing, Lu Xuan spoke casually, “Oh, right. The Blood Demon Race and the Stone Demon Race no longer need to exist.”
