"Celestial Venerable, we'll go down and prepare for war first!"
After the discussion concluded, everyone took their leave and returned to their respective territories to muster their forces for battle.
"The main force in this battle won't be you!"
Watching their departing backs, Li Yu shook his head. "If the one behind Above the Heavens truly is a 'Heavenly Emperor,' then I must personally enter the fray."
Only chaos could contend with chaos.
If Li Yu did not personally take the field, no matter how many Immortal Emperors came, they would only be crushed into nothingness by Chaos Qi.
"I should first go to the void rift and see what lies there."
He looked up into the void, where an enormous rift stretched across the heavens, as though someone had viciously slashed through space with a sword and cut open a vast section of the void.
His figure flashed, and Li Yu took a single step, instantly arriving at the edge of the void rift.
"As expected, a strand of Chaos Power remains here. That is why the void cannot heal."
At the edge of the rift, Li Yu could clearly sense the lingering Chaos Power within it.
"This aura... it truly belongs to a 'Heavenly Emperor.'"
Back in the Hong Huang world within the Pearl of Origin, Li Yu had already encountered the Saints who were incarnations of those Heavenly Emperors.
At the time, Li Yu had used the Sovereign's Seal as the master of the Pearl of Origin and annihilated the avatars of several Heavenly Emperors in one move. Naturally, he was no stranger to their auras.
"Judging from the lingering aura, this is... Zhunti from the Hong Huang world?"
Of course, Zhunti was merely an incarnation. This Heavenly Emperor's true identity could not possibly have been Zhunti.
