The clouds in the sky churned and gathered wildly, and dazzling golden rays of light shot up from every corner of Yuhua Prefecture, which was the magnificent national fortune belonging to the Qian Yuan Divine Dynasty!
Endless Golden Light condensed and compressed in the sky, eventually transforming into a majestic and sacred five- Fortune Golden Dragon, a thousand feet long!
The golden dragon raised its head and let out a silent roar. Then, it burst into Golden Light, rapidly contracted and transformed, finally turning into a human figure that slowly descended from the Nine Heavens.
He was an elderly man dressed in simple linen Hemp Robe, with white hair and beard, and a kind and gentle face.
He wore a gentle smile and had a calm gaze, like an old neighbor.
But the moment he appeared, the entire world seemed to sink slightly, and an indescribable majesty, as if it were the ruler of heaven and earth, silently spread out, enveloping the surrounding area for thousands of miles.
"Emperor of the Primal Origin Divine Dynasty— Ji Wuxiang!"
Shadow Kill's pupils contracted sharply, his voice low and solemn.
This person is recognized as one of the strongest in the world, a peerless existence at the Half-step Supreme Realm.
Even if it's just a Fortune Incarnation, it's still no ordinary person.
Ji Wuxiang?
He... he actually came in person?
On the Flying Boat, the glimmer of hope that had just risen among the people of the Medical Immortal Valley because of their rescue was instantly overwhelmed by boundless fear.
Zhang Ziyun, Shen Bixia, and the others were so frightened that they turned pale and almost collapsed to the ground.
Half-step Supreme!
That was a terrifying realm they couldn't even imagine.
Although what is before us is merely Incarnation, it is still not something an ordinary Heavenly Immortal can contend with.
No matter how strong Zhang Yu is, can he be a match for this guy?
They've just escaped one danger; are they about to fall into another?
Xiao Xuan and the others were also shocked and looked nervously at Zhang Yu's back.
Only Zhang Yu remained calmly standing at the bow of the ship, his clothes fluttering in the strong winds generated by the high-speed flight.
He looked up at the white-haired old man who emerged from the Golden Light. Instead of fear, he revealed a half-smile on his face.
However, the appearance of the Incarnation before him was completely different from the Imperial Edict Incarnation he had seen last time, but the aura was exactly the same, so it was definitely the same person.
"We meet again," Zhang Yu said calmly, as if greeting an old friend.
Ji Wuxiang's avatar of Fortune Incarnation stood in mid-air, a smile on his face, and nodded:
"Yes, we meet again."
Back then, you beheaded my Divine Dynasty's Grand General Baizi Xuan and destroyed one of my Imperial Edict Incarnation. I still vividly remember that 'generous gift' and have never forgotten it.
His tone was gentle, but the content of his words sent a chill down the spines of everyone on the Flying Boat.
Slaying a general of the Divine Dynasty, destroying the Emperor's Imperial Edict Incarnation?
This... Zhang Yu did something this outrageous ten years ago?
Moreover, it seems that Ji Wuxiang this all along!
Zhang Yu naturally knew that Ji Wuxiang was referring to what happened at the Soul Refining Sect back then.
At that time, Ji Wuxiang's manifestation from afar was merely an ordinary imperial edict avatar, with strength at most only thirty percent of the original body. Moreover, it was far from the territory of the Qian Yuan Divine Dynasty and could not utilize the nation's fortune, so it was easily destroyed by him.
But times have changed. Now they are facing a Fortune Incarnation of the Qianyuan National Destiny, whose strength is far beyond what it used to be.
"What, has Emperor Ji personally manifested himself today to demand an explanation for what happened back then?"
Zhang Yu asked calmly, his internal True Essence already circulating to its peak.
He knew that a fierce battle was probably inevitable.
This Fortune Incarnation is far beyond the likes of Bai Lingyun.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
The amiable smile on Ji Wuxiang's face slowly faded, replaced by an indifference and majesty befitting an Emperor.
The moment he finished speaking, the golden Fortune behind him, which had been restrained and subtly connected to heaven and earth, suddenly shone brightly!
"Boom--!"
A dazzling Golden Light shot into the sky, instantly illuminating half of it, as if a golden sun had risen from this place!
The vast, majestic, magnificent, and inviolable Emperor's Pressure surged and spread like a tangible tide.
On the Sky Patrol Flying Ship, everyone except Zhang Yu felt an instant difficulty breathing and their souls trembled, as if they were ants gazing up at the heavens.
Shadow Kill groaned, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He desperately activated the Protective Formation of the Flying Boat, barely managing to withstand the aftershocks of this terrifying pressure.
Xiao Xuan, Xiao Fenghua, Hu Qingxuan, and the others were deathly pale, swaying precariously, and even struggling to stand.
"The Emperor's Divine Might!"
"His Your Majesty is invincible!"
In the distance, the remnants of the Primal Origin Divine Dynasty, who had just recovered slightly from the backlash of the Military Formation, shouted in unison when they saw their Your Majesty displaying great power.
"Young friend, take this palm strike from me."
Ji Wuxiang said no more, slowly raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and pressed down on the Sky Patrol Flying Ship where Zhang Yu was.
There are no complicated moves, no earth-shattering feats, it's just a simple press of a button.
However, the heavens and earth changed color!
A gigantic golden hand, covering an area of hundreds of miles, materialized out of thin air. The hand was clearly textured, as if it had been forged from the purest golden Fortune and the Earth Vein Power of Yuhua Prefecture.
Within his palm, faint phantom images of mountains, rivers, and the All Beings ordinary people could be seen rising and falling, carrying a Supreme will to suppress the universe and dominate all living beings, slowly pressing down on Zhang Yu and the Flying Boat!
"The Emperor is getting serious! This is the 'World-Suppressing Palm'!"
Veteran generals from the Primal Origin Divine Dynasty shouted excitedly, for they had witnessed the Emperor himself unleash this move, its power boundless.
"It's over... If this palm strike comes down, we'll all be reduced to ashes..." In the Medical Immortal Valley, someone closed their eyes in despair.
"Zhang Yu..." Xiao Fenghua bit her lip tightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on the tall, straight back in front of her, her palms covered in cold sweat.
Just as that golden giant hand, seemingly capable of suppressing the world, was about to fall, Zhang Yu finally moved.
"Fortune Incarnation... truly extraordinary."
He muttered to himself, his tone revealing no fear whatsoever, but rather a hint of predatory delight.
"But you're far from capable of suppressing me with just this one palm strike!"
"Eighty-Nine Mysteries, Great Sun Tathagata Mantra —Open!"
This was the first time Zhang Yu had used these two ultimate Divine Ability after breaking through to the Late Heavenly Immortal.
Within Zhang Yu's body, it seemed as if countless Gods and Devils were roaring simultaneously, and a blazing sun was burning fiercely!
An ancient, vast, supremely masculine, yet infinitely changeable aura suddenly erupted from his body!
His body instantly grew three feet taller, his muscles bulging, and beneath his skin, mysterious Runes interwoven with gold and Glazed Glass hues were visible.
He was like a God of War who had emerged from the Primordial World, or a Buddha who had descended to the mortal world!
Unparalleled power surged within him, and the aura of supreme yang and strength dispelled all the gloom and pressure around him.
Facing the descending golden giant hand, Zhang Yu neither dodged nor evaded.
He took a deep breath, his chest bulging, and clenched his right fist.
On the fist, golden Buddhist light and profound Dao Patterns intertwined and swirled, radiating destructive energy.
"Break!"
A roar that shook the heavens!
Zhang Yu took a step forward, the void beneath his feet shattered, and his figure was like a divine Divine Dragon soaring against the Nine Heavens. He swung his fist upward and fiercely smashed towards the golden giant palm that blotted out the sky!
The golden fist energy and the golden palm print collided with a deafening roar!
"Thump--!!!"
An indescribable roar erupted, as if two stars were colliding in the sky.
The blinding Golden Light instantly engulfed everyone's vision, and the extremely violent energy shockwave, like a world-ending tsunami, spread out wildly in a ring!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Where the shockwave passed, space shattered like glass, revealing dark cracks in the void.
The mountain peaks below were silently reduced to dust the moment they came into contact with the shockwave, and the earth was plowed into terrifying ravines hundreds of feet deep.
If Shadow Kill hadn't exerted all his strength to control the Flying Boat, narrowly avoiding the core impact zone and providing the strongest protection, the entire Flying Boat would probably have disintegrated in the aftershocks!
As the Golden Light gradually faded, everyone eagerly looked on.
In the sky, the enormous golden palm print that seemed capable of suppressing everything was abruptly halted in mid-air by Zhang Yu's punch!
Countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the center of the palm print.
Although it was not completely shattered, its invincible and all-encompassing momentum was completely contained!
Zhang Yu, however, remained in the upward-pointing fist posture, standing in mid-air, his body surrounded by a dazzling interplay of Golden Light and Glazed Glass light, his aura vast as the sea, and he did not retreat even half a step!
"He blocked it! He... he blocked the Emperor's palm strike?!"
"How is this possible?"
Who... exactly is this person?
How could it possibly contend with the Fortune Incarnation of the Emperor's destiny?
Whether it was the remnants of the Primal Origin Divine Dynasty or the people from the Medical Immortal Valley and the Xiao Family on the Flying Boat, they were all stunned and burst into incredulous exclamations.
In their minds, Emperor Ji Wuxiang was the symbol of invincibility in the world.
His Fortune Incarnation is enough to sweep away all enemies.
But now, he's been blocked by a completely unknown young man with a single punch!
