Breaking Free (4K)

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be members of the Azure Emperor Tribe."

Li Lingfei, while being chased by the Indigenous People, revealed the origins of these Indigenous People.

"Are they from the Azure Emperor Clan?"

Lin Shiyu was greatly surprised to learn that the Indigenous People were actually descendants of the Azure Emperor Primordial Human Race Emperors.

No wonder these Indigenous People are so incredibly powerful.

If they possess the bloodline of the Azure Emperor Tribe, it would explain why these Indigenous People are far stronger than most geniuses in the Immortal Realm.

"We only want to rescue those who have wandered into this place; we have absolutely no intention of offending anyone."

Li Lingfei was no match for the Indigenous Chief and wanted to resolve the issue through negotiation.

Anyone who trespasses on this land will face certain death.

The Indigenous Chief's finger strike hit Li Lingfei's Immortal Sword, causing a crack to appear on the Immortal Sword, and Li Lingfei was forced back more than ten steps.

"The bloodline of the Azure Emperor Tribe is so powerful..."

Li Lingfei and Lin Shiyu once again witnessed the formidable strength of the Azure Emperor Tribe.

How could someone born with the bloodline of Primordial Human Race Emperor be ordinary?

They might both end up dying here.

The Indigenous Chief had no intention of negotiating and continued his attack. The powerful physique of the Azure Emperor Clan allowed him to ignore Li Lingfei's Long Sword.

Li Lingfei's sword tip shifted, the blade piercing towards the Indigenous Chief.

The Indigenous Chief flicked two fingers, breaking the blade again, and the crack in the Long Sword widened further.

Li Lingfei's face turned deathly pale.

The Indigenous Chief has the blood of the Azure Emperor Clan and has tattoos on his face, so he is very likely a figure from the same era as the Azure Emperor.

His cultivation level is definitely above Li Lingfei's.

With just the powerful physical strength of the Azure Emperor Clan, the Indigenous Chief overwhelmed Li Lingfei without even using the Azure Emperor Clan's Divine Ability.

"Die."

The Indigenous Chief's True Qi was concentrated in his right arm, which was filled with Destroy Heaven and Earth power.

For the Azure Emperor Clan, the physical body is their strongest Law Treasure.

"Time-Space Reversal!"

Just as the Indigenous Chief's attack was about to destroy her body, Li Lingfei used the Divine Ability of the Moon Palace to appear at the location she had been at just tens of seconds earlier, causing the Indigenous Chief's attack to miss.

The Indigenous Chief was slightly surprised, clearly having rarely seen such Divine Ability.

"Call..."

Li Lingfei let out a long breath, her body drenched in sweat.

The Divine Ability of the Moon Palace are infinitely versatile, but forcibly rewinding the time of this world is equivalent to contending with the World Power and the Cause and Effect Fortune of a few tens of seconds, consuming a large amount of Li Lingfei's True Qi.

"You can't stop my next move."

Knowing that Li Lingfei could not use her Divine Ability frequently, the Indigenous Chief threw a punch that Li Lingfei had no way to dodge.

"Senior Li..."

Lin Shiyu formed a hand seal with her left hand, activated her Immortal Sword, and slashed down the Indigenous Chief.

The Indigenous Chief grabbed the sword blade, but the blade couldn't even pierce Indigenous Chief body.

Lin Shiyu couldn't help but feel despair.

It seems that only if her Elder Sister, the Taihua Goddess, were to be reborn would it be possible to defeat the Indigenous Chief.

The Azure Emperor Clan is excessively powerful.

Just as the Indigenous Chief ruthlessly defeated the two women, a pillar of fire that scorched the space itself shot out, piercing through the heavens and earth.

The Indigenous Chief was finally moved, and shifted his body to avoid the pillar of fire.

Wherever the pillar of fire passed, space collapsed and Spiritual Qi burned fiercely.

The Indigenous Chief looked at the approaching group; the one who had just attacked was a man with long, fiery red hair. "You escaped?"

"Not bad, this time I'm free from the iron chains, I'm confident I can defeat you."

The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon stared at the Indigenous Chief, its fiery red pupils burning with battle intent.

The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon was banished to this Ancient Star, and it's impossible that it didn't clash with the Indigenous Chief.

The Indigenous Chief was no longer at ease when faced with the freed Eight Desolate Fire Dragon.

It's true that the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon's cultivation level is not as high as the Azure Emperor's, but it is only one or one and a half levels below the Azure Emperor.

"Where did you find your help? And who is this...?"

Li Lingfei and Lin Shiyu were surprised to see Lu Changsheng and his group arrive, and that they had brought with them experts who were comparable to the Indigenous Chief.

"His Demon Qi seems familiar... Could it be... the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon?"

Lin Shiyu had once followed the Taihua Goddess to suppress the Dragon Clan, so she was not unfamiliar with the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon.

Li Lingfei was also extremely surprised. "So the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon was banished here by the Tai Chu Divine Maiden?"

"Snort."

When the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon heard his shameful past being brought up again, he snorted coldly.

Li Lingfei immediately shut her mouth to avoid angering the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon.

The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon possesses the arrogance of a High Antiquity Dragon King. If its dark history is frequently mentioned in front of it, causing the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon to become enraged, Lu Changsheng and the others will lose their strongest backer.

The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon clashed with the powerful Azure Emperor Clan, their opposing forces locked in a standoff, their invisible auras swirling and colliding.

Both sides possessed extremely powerful physiques.

The Demon Race True Form of the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon, belonging to the demon race, is incredibly hard.

The bloodline of the Azure Emperor Clan also shaped their powerful physique.

"Back then, you were considered one of the Azure Emperor's most capable lieutenants. I don't know what orders the Azure Emperor gave you when he exiled you to this place, but I was entrusted with rescuing the group of people trapped by your High Antiquity Grand Formation."

"You'd better release them obediently, and I promise you they'll leave immediately, won't spread the word about this place, and won't bother you again. What do you think?"

The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon clearly recognized the Indigenous Chief and did not act rashly, but instead chose to negotiate.

Seeing that the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon was not simply domineering, Lu Changsheng became even more wary.

Great Expert Demon Race expert of the level of the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon, who roams the Three Realms, is not only relying on his extraordinary cultivation, but also on his intellect.

The Eight Desolate Fire Dragons likely don't have a guaranteed victory.

The Indigenous Chief comes from the Azure Emperor Clan and is a right-hand man of the Primordial Human Race Emperor. If they were to fight, even the Eight Desolate Fire Dragons would likely suffer heavy losses.

Lu Changsheng pondered the comparison of the two sides' strengths in his heart.

The Eight Desolate Fire Dragons can hold off the Indigenous Chief, but Lu Changsheng and his group still have to deal with the other Indigenous People. If they really fight to the death, both sides will suffer heavy casualties.

Instead, we should coordinate with the Eight Desolate Fire Dragons to put pressure on the Indigenous Chief.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng stepped forward. "We can swear that as long as we leave this place, we will never reveal its location to outsiders."

The Indigenous Chief gave Lu Changsheng a cold look. "Deceit and treachery abound; your words are not to be trusted."

Lu Changsheng had already devised a plan. "What you're worried about is that more people will know the location of this Ancient Star, thus ruining the mission entrusted to you by the Azure Emperor. Unfortunately, the High Antiquity Helian Family and the High Antiquity Huangfu Family Lineage already fled. Even if we don't tell anyone, they will still spread the news."

"The group of people you've trapped are the ancestors of the High Antiquity Su Family. Now Lineage, the High Antiquity Su Family has become enemies with these two great Lineage. If you release them, they will seek revenge on these two Lineage, and they will be too preoccupied to deal with your affairs."

Lu Changsheng's words sent a shiver down the spine of the Indigenous Chief.

Lu Changsheng's words made a lot of sense, and he had already guessed the reason why the Indigenous Chief was so determined to kill them—he didn't want more Xiuzhenzhe to come here to explore, so as not to disrupt the Azure Emperor's plans.

They were banished to this Ancient Star by the Azure Emperor Tribe to guard the Azure Emperor's plans as atonement.

Even if they kill Lu Changsheng and his group, they won't be able to stop the High Antiquity Helian Family and the High Antiquity Huangfu Family from spreading the news. It would be better to let Lu Changsheng and his group go, which would also attract the attention of the two major Lineage.

Most importantly, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragons are on Lu Changsheng's side.

If the two sides were to engage in a major battle, countless members of the Azure Emperor Clan would be killed or wounded.

The Azure Emperor Clan was already nearly wiped out.

As the current Tribe chief, he must consider the interests of the Tribe.

"I could easily kill you all and then go after that group."

The Indigenous Chief was not completely persuaded and still wanted to eliminate everyone who knew the secrets of this Ancient Star.

"Wait a minute."

Lu Changsheng had a headache. This guy was really stubborn. He didn't know what orders the Azure Emperor had given him, so that even after so many years, he was still stubbornly fulfilling his mission.

Lu Changsheng took out the "Azure Emperor's Manuscript" that the system had rewarded him with.

Previously, Lu Changsheng did not know the origin of the Indigenous People. He learned from the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon that the Indigenous People were actually criminals who had committed serious crimes in Remote Antiquity times and were exiled to this place. Thus, he came up with a plan.

The members of the Azure Emperor Clan were all deeply moved upon seeing the Azure Emperor's original work.

The Indigenous Chief asked incredulously, "How do you have His Majesty's handwriting?"

"I have a great karmic Cause and Effect with the Azure Emperor. If you care about the Azure Emperor, please release them."

Lu Changsheng hadn't lied to these Indigenous People after all.

His Personal Disciple, Lu Qinglian, inherited the Azure Emperor's Inheritance at the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum. It's not a fabrication to say that he has Cause and Effect with the Azure Emperor; it's a fact.

The Indigenous Chief's expression shifted, but he finally relented. "I can let them go, but you must never come back here again, otherwise, something terrible is bound to happen."

"Something bad?"

Lu Changsheng and his group always felt that the Azure Emperor Clan still had secrets.

"You don't need to know too much. I don't believe anyone can keep a secret."

The Indigenous Chief put aside his hostility and led his people, along with Lu Changsheng and his group, to the place where the High Antiquity Su Clan Ancestors were trapped.

"You're quite the lad, brave and resourceful one. But even without actually fighting, I've already fulfilled one of your requests."

The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon was actually quite pleased that it had fulfilled one of Lu Changsheng's conditions without lifting a finger.

Wait a minute, I'm the one being exploited by Lu Changsheng, yet I'm actually feeling smug about it.

Lu Changsheng rolled his eyes; the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon had clearly gained the upper hand.

If the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon were to actually engage in a major battle with the powerful members of the Azure Emperor Clan, it would inevitably be injured. However, since it was able to rescue the High Antiquity Su Clan Ancestors without lifting a finger, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon actually came out ahead.

The High Antiquity Su Clan Ancestors were trapped in the middle of Ancient Star. The High Antiquity Strange Formation of the Azure Emperor Clan covered 100,000 miles and trapped the Su Clan Ancestors.

The High Antiquity Strange Formation, harnessing the World Power of the entire Ancient Star, tightly trapped the Su Clan Ancestors. Even when the Su Clan Ancestors joined forces to attack the array from within, they were unable to break it.

The Azure Emperor Clan planned to use High Antiquity Strange Formation to completely refine the trapped Su Clan Ancestors. That's why the Su Clan Ancestors were so anxious, attacking the formation with all their might and even using Secret Method to send a message, urging Su Yun to find help as soon as possible.

The Azure Emperor Clan went to hunt down those who had trespassed on the Ancient Star, thus relaxing their control over the great formation, allowing the Su Clan Ancestors to breathe a sigh of relief.

The Su Clan Ancestors tried to take the opportunity to continue breaking the great formation, but after several attempts, they were still unsuccessful.

"The High Antiquity Strange Formation is based on the World Power the entire Ancient Star. By attacking the array, we are essentially fighting against the World Power. No matter what, it will be difficult to break through the array from the inside."

"I think we're doomed. Sooner or later, they'll refine us and reduce us to ashes."

"Why did they suddenly leave? Could it be that Su Yun and Su Xiaoqi, those two little ones, brought people to rescue us?"

"Alas, now that things have come to this, I don't want the two of them to come and risk their lives. Otherwise, they would have lost their lives in vain, and our Su Clan would have ended."

An atmosphere of defeatism permeated the Su Clan Ancestors.

They have been trying for a million years, but they still cannot break through the great formation.

Su Yun's previous attempt to rescue the ancestors also ended in failure, and many of the experts Su Yun brought perished there. After that, no one was willing to accept Su Yun's request.

The Su Clan Ancestors have all given up; at worst, they'll just die.

Among the Su Clan's patriarchs, the foremost elder was remarkably vigorous, with a full Heavenly Court, showing no signs of old age.

"Unfortunately, I, Su Wudi, am just one step away from forging my own Great Dao. This Formation can also be broken. It's just that I don't have enough time to take that step."

"Ancestor, perhaps this is fate. Our High Antiquity Su Family once enjoyed great prosperity, but unfortunately, in the Remote Antiquity war, too many of the Su Clan experts perished. Now, this calamity has struck again. Is Heaven determined to destroy us...?"

A gentle and refined Purple-Robed Man felt deeply powerless as he thought about the frequent misfortunes befalling his Lineage.

Fortune is a mysterious and unpredictable thing.

"My husband, look!"

Suddenly, a woman among the Su Clan Ancestors reminded the Purple-Robed Man.

The Purple-Robed Man followed the gaze and his eyes widened as well. "Yun'er, Xiaoqi?"

Our reinforcements have finally arrived!

The Su Clan patriarch, who had been resigned to his fate and awaiting death, was greatly encouraged to see Su Yun and Su Xiaoqi leading a group of experts flying close to the great formation on swords, having survived the ordeal!

Their High Antiquity Su Clan Ancestors, had been trapped for millions of years, and finally had a chance to escape!

"The Azure Emperor Clan followed them too?"

The Su Clan Ancestors were dumbfounded.

The Azure Emperor Clan originally intended to refine them, and they were fierce and menacing. However, it now seems that the Azure Emperor Clan is actually getting along peacefully with Su Yun and Su Xiaoqi, as if the two sides have reached an agreement.

"That person looks like Li Lingfei from the Moon Palace."

The Purple-Robed Man recognized Li Lingfei's identity.

These people were all Great Expert from High Antiquity, and we had all met them to some extent in High Antiquity times.

"I never expected that Su Yun could actually invite someone from the Moon Palace. She's truly remarkable."

"Yun'er has worked so hard these past few days maintaining the Lineage and even trying to save us old men. I'm truly ashamed. I think we should let Yun'er continue as the head of the family from now on. She has the qualifications and ability."

The Su Clan Ancestors all chimed in, but were also filled with shame.

These old folks still need someone to save them; at their age, they've wasted their lives.

The Indigenous Chief waved his hand, and the Azure Emperor Clan broke the High Antiquity Strange Formation that had trapped the Su Clan Ancestors.

"I, Su Wudi, am finally free!"

The ancestor of the Su Clan let out a long roar, and a terrifying shockwave swept across the eight directions.
