In mere breaths, several Great Emperors' bodies plummeted from the spatial rift, engulfed in terrifying flames, their lives extinguished.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Blood splattered! All instantly killed!
Ji Fuyao sheathed her Ultimate Emperor Weapon and turned, seeing an Azure-robed Man standing between heaven and earth. She bowed respectfully to him. “Many thanks, Senior.”
She knew, of course, that it was the Azure-robed Man’s Hand of Creation/Fortune that had been bestowed upon her, otherwise she couldn't have channeled a wisp of the Flame Ancestor's power.
The Azure-robed Man smiled faintly. “I never imagined that after the annihilation of my Yanwu Sect Branch in the Fallen Star Sea, two such peerless prodigies would emerge! What is your name?”
“Ji Fuyao.”
The Azure-robed Man nodded with great satisfaction. “A good name.” He was once a terrifying existence from the Outer World Fallen Star River, having witnessed countless prodigies and heaven-defying talents. Yet, Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen still seemed incredibly heaven-defying in his eyes!
The Azure-robed Man asked, “Do you have a master?”
“Lu Xuan.”
The Azure-robed Man frowned. “What is his realm?”
Ji Fuyao replied, “Invincible.”
The Azure-robed Man paused, dumbfounded. Isn't this Ye Chen's master? He couldn't help but look at Ji Fuyao, saying in a deep voice, “Lu Xuan… there is no such person in the Fallen Star Sea.” He didn't understand. Who exactly was Lu Xuan? To hold such a high position in the hearts of both disciples!
Ji Fuyao said, “It is only because my Master disdains to act. If he were to make a move, the Fallen Star Sea might well be annihilated.”
The Azure-robed Man: “…” A moment of silence.
The Azure-robed Man’s figure slowly vanished. “I hope that one day, you and Ye Chen can enter the true Yanwu Sect and carry forward the inheritance of the Flame Ancestor and Martial Ancestor!” His form disintegrated, dissipating into heaven and earth. “The mission of the Yanwu Sect Branch is complete!” The Azure-robed Man’s voice gradually faded, finally disappearing.
Ji Fuyao bowed respectfully, then stepped into the Secluded Valley, sat cross-legged, drank a mouthful of Azure Nether Celestial Water, and began to break through to the Emperor Realm!
Not long after. Crack! Boom! The void tore! Space twisted!
From within the spatial rift, Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others slowly emerged. Their Divine Sense swept across the surroundings, immediately detecting Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen.
Tianyuan Old Ancestor said with some surprise, “Both Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen are breaking through to the Emperor Realm!”
The many Old Ancestors of the ‘Heaven’ lineage wore relieved smiles. They quickly descended, sweeping their sleeves to lay down countless Sealing Restrictions around Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen’s cultivation spots. Instantly, brilliant Formation Patterns surged, interweaving with the broken restrictions of the Yanwu Sect.
Tianyuan Old Ancestor said, “Ye Chen and Fuyao are simply too monstrous. The Dao Rhyme emanating from them already surpasses even low-star Great Emperors!”
Tianxing Old Ancestor said in a deep voice, “This is all thanks to Lu Xuan’s excellent teaching. And he’s utterly unsparing with resources for his disciples.”
Everyone felt a surge of emotion. “Lu Xuan truly deceived the Grand Dao Sect, deceived everyone in the Southern Wilds all these years.” “How did he manage to hold back?”
Tianyuan Old Ancestor said, “We must remind Lu Xuan. After we leave the Bronze Ancient Palace, we need to remind ourselves that he is the White Robe Great Emperor.”
The others agreed, “Indeed.” They knew that the Bronze Ancient Palace’s rules would wipe their memories, and they would forget this matter again!
Half a day later. Tianyuan Old Ancestor suddenly looked up at the void, his expression turning incredibly grim. “They’re here.”
Boom! The void trembled, the sky howled.
In the distant void, terrifying Demonic Power poured forth between heaven and earth, like an ocean overturning. Several Spirit Boats shot forth, tearing through space.
Pig-headed Great Emperor Zhu Liefang gnawed on a human Great Emperor’s leg bone, blood constantly dripping. He sneered as he gazed at this part of the world. “The Grand Dao Sect people have indeed arrived! Perfect, we’ll catch them all in one fell swoop!”
On the several Spirit Boats, there were over a dozen Nine-star Great Emperors, all powerhouses of the Demon Court!
Suluo Great Emperor’s two drops of blood turned incredibly crimson. With a slender finger, she pointed to where Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen were cultivating. “My Lord, Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen are right there!”
Zhu Liefang’s gaze was fierce and cold. “They dare to Attain Emperor here?! Stop them!”
Hearing this, Suluo Great Emperor’s hand seals shifted, and an incredibly eerie power surged, transforming into two invisible, traceless threads. Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen’s two drops of blood, however, began to boil.
In the distance, Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen simultaneously spat out a mouthful of vital blood. Pfft! Pfft! Though their eyes were still closed, their bodies immediately trembled, about to be forcibly awakened from their profound Attaining Emperor state. Wisps of black energy emanated from both of them.
Seeing this, Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others’ expressions turned incredibly grim. “You dare to attack two juniors? Have you no shame?!”
Zhu Liefang sneered. “The Demon Court once showed the Grand Dao Sect respect, but you threw it back in our faces. Don’t blame us for being ruthless now!”
Hearing this, Tianyuan Old Ancestor erupted in rage, directly activating the Grand Dao Scripture. Profound Great Emperor Dao patterns circulated, and Dao Rhyme poured forth like an ocean between heaven and earth. He intended to sever Suluo Great Emperor’s eerie power.
But swiftly, Zhu Liefang swept his sleeve, and numerous great demons charged, attacking Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others. They only had five Nine-star Great Emperors, and their momentum was instantly crushed! In terms of Eight-star and Seven-star Great Emperors, they were also outnumbered by the Demon Court! But now, the Grand Dao Sect could not retreat.
Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others forced a fight! Boom! Tianyuan Old Ancestor brought forth his Nine-star Emperor Weapon, the Heavenly Origin Diagram. Instantly, a scroll unfurled between heaven and earth, continuously expanding. The mountains and rivers of the Yanwu Sect, its ruined palaces, and the Secluded Valley’s abyss were all absorbed into the painting! Transforming heaven and earth into an array diagram, the Heaven and Earth Momentum was harnessed for its use!
For a moment, the power of the Heavenly Origin Diagram stubbornly blocked Suluo Great Emperor’s eerie force. Similarly, the other Old Ancestors also brought forth their Emperor Weapons. The might of Nine-star Great Emperors was vast and majestic, like colossal suns sinking, stars falling, illuminating the void.
Pig-headed Great Emperor Zhu Liefang also made his move. He had once obtained a terrifying Outer World Inheritance in the Stone Forest Land, and his combat power was now incredibly fearsome.
Boom! Boom! Boom! With every strike, the sky trembled, space twisted, and terrifying power, like an overturning ocean, caused the Grand Dao Sect’s Old Ancestors to continuously spit blood. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! The Demon Court had too many members; their strength was utterly overwhelming! Even with the Grand Dao Scripture activated to its limits, the Grand Dao Sect’s Old Ancestors were no match for the Demon Court!
After only a few dozen exchanges. A trace of fresh blood oozed from Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others. Their bodies swayed slightly, their grey robes billowing, like flags fluttering in a storm! They were completely outmatched! An Eight-star Great Emperor like Tianyuan Old Ancestor was already exhausted. Despite swallowing Healing Pills, he was still powerless to fight further! The gap between Nine-star Great Emperors and Eight-star Great Emperors was simply too vast!
Now, it was only the five Nine-star Great Emperors, including Tianyuan Old Ancestor, desperately holding on! But they couldn’t last much longer. The five Nine-star Great Emperors, including Tianyuan Old Ancestor, were already bleeding from all seven orifices, their Great Emperor Dao patterns constantly shattering, their bodies looking as if they could collapse at any moment! He was finished.
Zhu Liefang scoffed, “Is this all the Grand Dao Sect is capable of? What right do you have to oppose our Demon Court?”
Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others had no strength to speak. Blood continuously gushed from their mouths, their internal organs feeling as if they were about to shift.
Just then, Suluo Great Emperor gave a sinister smile, her slender hand once again manipulating the two clumps of Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen’s blood. Pfft! Pfft! Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others were utterly powerless to stop her! Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen immediately began bleeding from all seven orifices, on the verge of suffering severe backlash injuries!
Zhu Liefang looked down at Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others. “Feeling despair already? This is just our Demon Court. Dark Shadow Island, the Blood Spirit Race, and the Silent Destruction Sect are still on their way!”
Just then. Boom! Crack! The void tore! Space twisted! Lu Xuan and Chen Changsheng stepped out from the spatial rift. “I’m here.”
