Today Is the Day You Die!

Naluo's exclamation startled everyone else as well.

Jiang Yao?

That's right. Only Jiang Yao has the ability to do that. Otherwise, who else could defeat all of these Core Layer geniuses from the five major powers single-handedly?

"The Path of the Beast God?"

The five-meter-tall giant stared in astonishment at Jiang Yao, who had effortlessly caught the fleeing Holy Lord of Chengyun with a single hand. "Didn't he use Universe Divine Weapon and the Space-Time Law to cross the Heavenly Bridge? Right, the first time he crossed the Heavenly Bridge, he used the Path of the Beast God, but this kind of artistic conception..."

He was a genius from the Glory Secret Realm of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, and had become a disciple of an Invincible King-level- level expert. He had also begun to cultivate the Path of the Beast God manual, preparing to follow the Path of the Beast God after becoming Domain Lord. The familiar yet unfamiliar power and artistic conception that came from Jiang Yao's attack just now made his heart tremble.

The Holy Lord of Chengyun, whose shoulder was being held down by Jiang Yao, was almost in disbelief, as if he were in a dream. How could someone capture a ninth-level Saint Domain expert like himself in a single move? What kind of monster was this?

Even though these outsiders have fused with the Glittering Star Stone, their basic strength is only at the Lord Realm.

Are there any historical records of such a powerful outsider?

"The Sacred Altar is about to open, let's set off directly for the God Star Continent," Jiang Yao said to the Holy Lord of Chengyun with a smile, his seemingly gentle tone carrying a strong threat.

Jiang Yao knew that the Holy Lord of Chengyun must have reported the request for help to the Holy Temple.

The Luoxiao Race also has its own information transmission network, but it is not available to everyone. This is similar to the Monster Race, where bloodline equals potential and strength. Only those with Elite Bloodline or above are qualified to access the network, and the Holy Lord of the various Sacred Land clans are all of noble bloodlines with Elite Bloodline or above without exception.

At the same time, this information transmission network also reflects a deep bloodline class and hierarchical difference. Elite Bloodline powerhouses like the Holy Lord of Chengyun Sacred Land only transmit information and make requests to the Holy Temple unilaterally. Any decisions and orders from the Holy Temple will also be communicated unilaterally, which is completely different from the Virtual Universe Network of Human Race.

The plea for help sent by the Holy Lord of Chengyun must have included outsiders, and the Holy Temple will definitely respond.

Fortunately, the Sacred Altar is about to open. Once inside the Sacred Altar Forbidden Domain God Star Continent, even the Holy Temple of the Luoxiao Race can no longer pursue them.

The Sacred Altar is jointly guarded by the Giant Axe Coliseum and the Luoxiao Race, and Sacred Altar opening is a joint effort between the two.

Fighting and killing are strictly prohibited within the Sacred Altar Forbidden Domain. Universe-level geniuses from the Core Layer of the five major forces can gain entry by paying a Holy Star Stone. Star Realm geniuses of the Luoxiao Race who have not yet differentiated their bloodlines need to be personally led by the Holy Lord of the various clans on the nine continents. After their souls are examined, those whose quota does not exceed the prescribed number can gain entry.

Since we've already been exposed, we might as well head straight to the Sacred Altar Forbidden Domain.

Jiang Yao also wanted to directly Soul Enslavement the Holy Lord of Chengyun's soul. The Holy Lord of Chengyun's actual strength was only at the Domain Lord Ninth Stage. He only had the combat power of the ninth level of Realm Lord after fusing with the Holy Star Stone. He could still do it with the Soul Enslavement Secret Art of the third level of the "Eye of Zhenhuang".

However, the Sacred Altar Forbidden Domain examines the souls of all Luoxiao Race, including not only possession but also Soul Enslavement. A clan's Holy Lord who is enslaved is no longer considered Holy Lord, and all their slots for entering the Sacred Altar Forbidden Domain will be revoked.

This is also a preventative measure taken by the Luoxiao Race to prevent someone from possessing Star Realm genius whose bloodline has not yet differentiated, then Soul Enslavement the Holy Lord of various clans, and "smuggling" them into the Sacred Altar to receive baptism.

Such stringent preventative measures suggest that the Luoxiao Race must have suffered considerable losses throughout history.

At Jiang Yao's suggestion (and threat), the Holy Lord of Chengyun ordered 11 Star Realm geniuses, including the Holy Son of Chengyun Clan, who had obtained the qualification to enter the Sacred Altar Forbidden Domain, to set off with him immediately.

Jiang Yao and Daiqin continued to disguise themselves as accompanying guards, and Ximu, the mother of Chiling clone, also set off together.

Although Jiang Yao's Human Main Body and Ximu are separate entities, Ximu is, after all, the mother of Chiling clone. He was also afraid that leaving Ximu behind would lead to an unexpected encounter with the pursuers of the Youluan Clan.

After seeing that the Holy Lord of Chengyun had finished issuing the order, Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Naluo and the others, "I estimate that the people from the Holy Temple will arrive soon. I suggest you leave quickly."

From their previous exchange and Jiang Yao's ability to subdue the Holy Lord of Chengyun, Naluo and the others immediately understood the gap between Jiang Yao and them.

Although his heart was filled with shock and bitterness, Naluo managed to regain his composure on the surface. "Alright, see you in the Sacred Altar Forbidden Domain."

One of the young men, with four arms and clad in dark scale armor, chuckled, "After the Nine Star Sea mission is over, I'll treat you to drinks at Yuxiang Mountain as an apology."

"Okay." Jiang Yao nodded with a smile.

The four-armed youth Laiyi, a senior cosmic-level member of the Primal Secret Realm, who has passed the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

The others nodded to Jiang Yao, either awkwardly or curiously, before transforming into streaks of Flowing Light and scattering away.

Suddenly, Naluo's expression changed, and Jiang Yao's expression changed as well.

A dark light shot down from the sky, its speed astonishing.

Even before the person arrived, a powerful aura swept over them.

The light faded, and a figure completely encased in dark gold armor appeared in the sky.

Even his head was covered by a helmet, and his face was covered by a dark Golden Mask.

"A high-ranking Saint Domain Warrior from the Holy Temple!"

How could they have arrived so quickly?

Naluo and the others were on high alert and dared not make a move.

The Holy Lord of Chengyun was overjoyed, but dared not make any unusual moves while standing beside Jiang Yao.

The four-armed Laiyi also immediately sent a telepathic warning to Jiang Yao: "Be careful, the strength of the Saint Domain Warrior in this Holy Temple is far beyond that of the Holy Lord of Chengyun. They are at least at the peak of the Peak World Lord level, and their Heavenly Star Holy Armor is a supreme defensive Supreme Treasure."

Although the other party was wearing a dark Golden Mask, obscuring their eyes, Jiang Yao could clearly feel a strong gaze fixed on Chiling clone who was standing next to Daiqin.

The Chiling clone sensed the gazes cast upon it by the Holy Temple warriors, and even felt a slight tremor within its bloodline.

"Finally found it!"

The Holy Temple Warrior's mask dissolved into liquid and shrank outwards, revealing an ancient face covered in white scales.

He stared at the Chiling clone and the fearful Ximu standing Chiling clone, and sneered, "Remnants of traitors, you actually managed to escape all the way to the Meteor Continent, and you still dare to dream of participating in the Sacred Altar Trial."

Jiang Yao felt a chill run down his spine. The Youluan Clan?

"Let me introduce myself. I am Youluan Tiantu, a high-ranking warrior of the Holy Temple." Youluan Tiantu treated the dozen or so outsiders as if they were nothing, seemingly unconcerned about their escape or resistance.

"Are you the outsiders who killed my Youluan Clan Saint Son, stole the Holy Stone, and sheltered these two remnants of traitors?"

Youluan Tiantu sneered, "You outsiders are truly lawless. Holy Lord of Chengyun, this mother and son are sinners of my Youluan Clan. Hand them over to me, and I will deal with these outsiders."

The Holy Lord of Chengyun was more than willing, but dared not make a move while standing beside Jiang Yao.

"Um?"

Youluan Tiantu was somewhat puzzled by Holy Lord of Chengyun's reaction, but as a high-ranking warrior of the Holy Temple, his status was higher than that of ordinary Sacred Land Holy Lord, and he did not care whether Holy Lord of Chengyun agreed or not.

"Are you the Youluan Clan Right Holy Lord? Did you give the order to hunt down Ximu and his mother?" Jiang Yao suddenly asked.

Youluan Tiantu finally noticed Jiang Yao, who stood inconspicuously beside the Holy Lord of Chengyun, looking like a guard.

Only then did he notice that the guard, exuding the aura of a ninth-level lord, had eyes like swords, giving him an inexplicable feeling as if he were being pierced by them.

"You're an outsider too?"

Youluan Tiantu stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Jiang Yao, and said calmly, "I am the Youluan Clan Right Holy Lord."

Jiang Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent. "If you don't have any other helpers, today is your death day."

"Ha ha!"

Youluan Tiantu laughed in fury, a flash of lightning in his eyes. "Do you outsiders think that I, a high-ranking warrior of the Holy Temple, am like those stupid Saint-level Star Beast you hunted together? Do you think you can contend with me just by numbers? Then I'll grant your wish!"

After a cold laugh, Youluan Tiantu seemed to Teleportation, conjuring more than a dozen Phantom Body that appeared before Jiang Yao, Naluo, and the others.

The Holy Temple warriors, clad in the Heavenly Star Holy Armor, not only possess near-invincible defense but also greatly enhance their flight speed. Within the Nine Star Sea, the speed of outsiders like Jiang Yao is suppressed, while the Holy Temple warriors' speed is significantly boosted by the Sacred Armor.

This is also why Naluo and the others dared not act rashly and fled when they saw Youluan Tiantu appear.

The high-ranking warriors of the Holy Temple not only possess extremely sophisticated movement techniques, but also speeds far exceeding those of Peak World Lord; even their escape requires a certain method.

Everyone except Jiang Yao looked tense, dodging and avoiding the first wave of attacks, then waiting for an opportunity to escape depending on the situation of the battle between Jiang Yao and Jiang Yao.

"Snort!"

A cold snort seemed to contain the power to distort space and time, and all of Youluan Tiantu's dozen or so Phantom Body Destruction in an instant.

Youluan Tiantu looked at Jiang Yao in surprise. He had actually managed to break through his Phantom Body. This outsider's understanding of the laws of space was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Jiang Yao snorted coldly and took a step forward!

With just one step, the power within him expanded to an unprecedented level, as if the phantom of a savage beast was attached to him. Golden light filled his entire body, unleashing an incomparably powerful force!

Rumble!

The overwhelming power instantly unleashed a massive hurricane, sweeping away the dark clouds across the sky in a single breath.

At the same time, he extended his palm, as if it had transformed into a sharp sword.

The Nine Styles of Bizhang take the Desolate God as its master, and each part of the body is the best weapon, requiring no external objects.

Youluan Tiantu's pupils contracted. A ninth-level lord could actually unleash such powerful strength?

"Not good!"

Startled, Youluan Tiantu immediately sensed an overwhelming sense of crisis.

As the sword was thrust out, a piercing cry echoed across the sky, spreading and filling the entire world!

A powerful and ancient aura surrounded the sword, giving rise to streaks of sword light.

The dense sword light swept across the sky like a tidal wave, cutting through everything!

Countless sword lights transformed into a storm, sweeping across the universe!

The Path of the Light-Time Beast God!

Naluo and the others were dazzled and astonished. "Such power, such power!"

Roar!!

A voice, a mixture of extreme rage and terror, resounded through the sky. Under his reckless urging, Youluan Tiantu's Tiantu Heavenly Star Holy Armor erupted with intense light, and endless thunderstorms sprouted from the scales on his forehead.

Thump thump thump--

The endless, powerful sword light spread out, annihilating the newly formed thunderstorm.

Then his entire body was engulfed by the sword light.

Even though the Heavenly Star Holy Armor weakened most of the attack, it still severely injured him.

Youluan Tiantu let out a miserable cry, his heart filled with fear. He immediately activated the Heavenly Star Holy Armor and fled, escaping thousands of kilometers in an instant.

"Trying to run?"

Jiang Yao's smile concealed murderous intent as he reached out again, his hand forming a claw-like grip.

A gigantic divine claw seemed to emerge from the clouds, descending towards the figure of Youluan Tiantu!

"Ah!!!"

Youluan Tiantu let out a frantic scream before being completely gripped by Jiang Yao, who had captured him from thousands of kilometers away. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in Jiang Yao's hand, blood gushing from the seams of his Sacred Armor, leaving him barely alive.
