“Today, Cloudrise Holy Land falls!”
Lu Xuan’s voice was not loud, yet it resonated clearly in the ears of everyone present.
All eyes turned, utterly stunned, towards the Spatial Rift.
In an instant, Lu Xuan, clad in a white robe, emerged slowly from the Spatial Rift. Faint Divine Radiance shimmered around him, making him appear like a Divine King Descending, standing majestically between heaven and earth.
Behind him, Ji Fuyao stepped out in a fiery red long dress, a boundless sea of spirit fire surging around her, her Nine-star Supreme aura unfurling like an unstoppable tide.
Beside her, Ye Chen, also in a white robe, strove to mimic Lu Xuan’s unruffled demeanor, his body radiating golden Martial Dao power.
Next came Xuanji Holy Lord, in a purple skirt, her perfectly sculpted jade legs exquisitely fair, her Jade feet treading on petals of Divine Radiance. Her flawless figure seemed to have stepped right out of a painting, her beautiful face as cold and unyielding as a thousand-year-old ice mountain.
Beside Xuanji Holy Lord stood Wuwu, his handsome face serene, his bald head gleaming with a faint golden light. Profound Buddhist Dao mysteries swirled around him, making him appear utterly sacred.
Bringing up the rear was Chen Changsheng, looking utterly unremarkable and ordinary.
The appearance of Lu Xuan and his disciples sent the crowd into an uproar.
“What?! The Fox Clan actually sent out four Nine-star Supremes this time!”
“Look quickly! That woman wielding the Dao of Spirit Fire is incredibly beautiful!”
“And the other one, the woman in purple! My heavens, what a celestial being!”
“I think she’s even more stunning than Liu Ruyan!”
“But this purple-skirted woman is tainted with Eerie Power. She might not have long to live!”
“Don’t talk nonsense! If that purple-skirted woman could join the Eerie Sect and obtain its secret arts, her strength would far surpass others of her realm!”
“Ah... no, no, it’s different. The woman of spirit fire is dazzlingly beautiful, but the purple-skirted woman is an ice mountain beauty. If I had to choose, I’d pick the one in purple first. You don’t understand, the contrast when such a woman changes... it’s just too exhilarating!”
“Oh, really? You’re already picking favorites, huh?”
Hearing these discussions, Demon Fox Ah Li’s eyes also showed a hint of surprise. She considered herself a beauty, but Ji Fuyao and Xuanji Holy Lord made her realize for the first time that human women could rival her own allure.
Ah Li glanced at Lu Xuan, noting how both Ji Fuyao and Xuanji Holy Lord instinctively looked towards him. “Are these White Robe Star Venerate’s two Dao Companions?” Ah Li mused internally. “This White Robe Star Venerate truly is an extraordinary individual!”
The Grey-robed Old Crone beside her said, “They all think the White Robe Star Venerate is with us.”
Ah Li let out a soft chuckle. “I wish he were. But for now, it only means he’s not our enemy. Whether he’s a friend is still hard to say.”
The Grey-robed Old Crone voiced her concern, “I’m a little worried. What if this White Robe Star Venerate has coerced Xiao Yin, hoping to get his hands on the Bronze Ancient Palace?”
Ah Li’s lips curved slightly. “But Xiao Yin looks quite happy to me.”
The Grey-robed Old Crone sighed. “Xiao Yin hasn’t seen much of the world. She’s too naive. If this White Robe Star Venerate sweet-talks her a bit, she might just be led astray.”
Ah Li was speechless.
Just then, Yan Liangchou, the Holy Lord of Cloudrise Holy Land, scoffed, a confident smile spreading across his face.
Just these few people?
Cloudrise Holy Land had already won!
Beside Holy Lord Yan Liangchou, a Grey-robed Old Man soared into the air, sneering. “What’s this? White Robe Star Venerate, you only brought a handful of people. Are you here to court death...?”
Before he could finish, Ji Fuyao’s Nine-star Supreme Weapon, the Heaven-Burning Spear, shot from her hand, transforming into a fiery dragon that streaked towards the Grey-robed Old Man like lightning.
“Who dares speak ill of my Master?!”
Whoosh!
The Grey-robed Old Man’s face twisted in horror. He quickly formed hand seals, conjuring a massive Dao Pattern to block the Heaven-Burning Spear!
But it was useless!
In an instant, the Heaven-Burning Spear pierced through the colossal Dao Pattern, then plunged directly through the Grey-robed Old Man’s chest, pinning him to the void.
The Grey-robed Old Man stared at Ji Fuyao, his face a mask of disbelief. “How... how could you...?”
They were both Nine-star Supremes! How could he be instantly killed in a single move?!
With that, the Grey-robed Old Man’s life force extinguished.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present was utterly stunned.
Master?
This White Robe Star Venerate was actually the master of that stunningly beautiful woman!
Holy Lord Yan Liangchou’s expression turned incredibly grim. He raised a hand and roared, “Kill!”
Immediately, a vast number of Cloudrise Guard surged forth from the Cloudrise Realm, stepping into the void.
Leading them was actually a One-rotation Star Venerate!
There were over a dozen Nine-star Supremes!
Hundreds of high-star Supremes!
And even more Supremes and Quasi-Dao Supremes!
This was the true power of Cloudrise Holy Land!
Holy Lord Yan Liangchou glared at Lu Xuan. “White Robe Star Venerate, let me see your true strength!”
Lu Xuan said calmly, “Fuyao, you all handle this.”
The moment his words fell, Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, Xuanji Holy Lord, and Wuwu stepped forward, directly engaging the Cloudrise Guard!
Lu Xuan, meanwhile, casually pulled out a Recliner and settled back, lounging comfortably in the void.
He had already used his Insight Eye to detect a Seven-rotation Star Venerate expert lurking in the shadows, but it was nothing to worry about.
Let my disciples get some practice first!
After all, they just broke through to Nine-star Supreme!
Combat is the only true test of strength!
Chen Changsheng asked, “Master, should I make a move?”
“Do as you please,” Lu Xuan replied nonchalantly.
Chen Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then also conjured a Recliner and settled down beside Lu Xuan.
Witnessing this, everyone present was utterly dumbfounded.
What?
A grand battle had just begun, and these two were just... lounging around?
Holy Lord Yan Liangchou was so enraged he laughed instead. “Hahahahaha! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!”
It was the first time he realized that a person could laugh so heartily when pushed to the brink of utter speechlessness.
“White Robe Star Venerate, since you’re so confident, I won’t make a move either. I’d like to see if your four disciples can truly wipe out my Cloudrise Guard!”
Lu Xuan’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Wouldn’t that be as easy as pie?”
“These four are my disciples. I’m letting them get some practice. Otherwise, if I were to make a move, your Cloudrise Holy Land would be annihilated, and that wouldn’t be much fun.”
As his words echoed, the starry sky fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was petrified.
What an absolute showboat!
They had never seen anyone so outrageously arrogant!
This was Cloudrise Holy Land!
Backed by the Tianchen Empire!
The White Robe Star Venerate was simply too much!
Only Demon Fox Ah Li chuckled. “This White Robe Star Venerate is quite something.”
After a moment of silence, Holy Lord Yan Liangchou looked at Lu Xuan, then pointed at Chen Changsheng beside him. “And this person?” he asked.
“He’s also my disciple,” Lu Xuan replied.
“Why isn’t he fighting?” Yan Liangchou scoffed. “He looks like the weakest one among them.”
“Ah, yes, yes, you’re absolutely right,” Chen Changsheng agreed blandly.
Holy Lord Yan Liangchou sneered. “White Robe Star Venerate, now I’ll show you what true cruelty looks like!”
“That white-robed youth and that bald monk—hack them to pieces! Turn them into minced meat!”
“As for the two women, capture them alive for me!”
