Chapter 369
Once this period of time has passed, Princess Xiao, who has merged with the World Source, will naturally perish along with it, and the billions of living beings in the Southern Wilderness and the resources of an entire world will all belong to them.
At that time, they will be able to carry the resources of one world to other worlds and embark on a brand new path.
Their audacity to disregard the new era's rulers is not due to their own strength.
After all, given the strength Princess Xiao displayed before dominating the world, she could easily kill even a patriarch of the Earth Immortal realm. Now, having merged with the World Source, her strength has increased immeasurably. Even if they are slightly stronger than the Blood Demon Ancestor and the Three Immortal Servants, how much stronger can they really be?
If he were to truly face Princess Xiao, he probably wouldn't even last a single exchange.
The reason they dared to confront Princess Xiao was because they had received support from a powerful being!
Do you think he'll really make a move?
"Immortals do not lie; once they have spoken, they will come."
"Actually, what I'm worried about is whether he'll abandon us and take over the Southern Wilderness for himself after it's all done?"
"Given his style of doing things, perhaps we should worry that he might turn around and kill us too!"
"... Stop talking! No matter what, if we don't ask him for help, we'll all die at Princess Xiao's hands!"
Upon hearing this statement...
The five Earth Immortals remained silent. Once upon a time, Earth Immortals were super beings standing at the top of the world, looking down on all living beings and wielding boundless power, enough to make billions of people awe and fear.
But what about now?
They actually had to rely on the protection of other immortals to have a chance to escape Princess Xiao's clutches.
"I hope he won't break his promise," a celestial being murmured.
"I hope so..."
At the same time.
Xiao Minghuang, inside the Southern Star Palace, continuously extended the power of the Boundary Source, and finally discovered an unusual node in the void in a hidden corner.
"I've finally found it!"
A look of joy appeared on Xiao Minghuang's face. The power of the Boundary Origin surged violently, causing the entire void to tremble violently. Then, she flicked her finger, and boundless power crossed a vast distance. The power of the Boundary Origin surged out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire hidden little world.
Boom--
A muffled clap of thunder boomed.
The next moment, the node in the void shattered.
With a deafening roar, the entire small world shattered and was completely exposed to the Southern Wilderness. Countless substances within it were annihilated by the chaotic void currents.
This small world was the hiding place of those ancient earth immortals in the Southern Wilderness. Now, it has shattered completely, vanished into nothingness, and no longer exists.
At the same time.
Five figures slid out from the chaotic void, and as soon as they appeared, they each headed off in different directions, disappearing at an incredible speed!
"Trying to run?"
Xiao Minghuang sneered, her slender hand slicing through the air.
In an instant, the sky changed color, the wind howled, and the thunder roared. Strands of the power of the realm's origin, like chains, instantly bound the five figures.
With a series of muffled thuds, all five were bound by the power of the Boundary Origin, their bodies stiffening. Even when they activated their Immortal Qi, they could hardly move an inch under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.
"How is that possible..."
"Princess Xiao... how dare you!"
"Help us!!!"
The earth immortals roared in shock and anger, their voices filled with panic and despair.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"Judging from this, they have accomplices?"
She was about to gather the power of the boundary source to trap them and then interrogate them, but suddenly...
An immense and powerful force, seemingly not belonging to this world, suddenly descended, forcefully severing her source power!
"What happened?"
Xiao Minghuang's expression changed drastically.
In an instant.
Even when she used the power of the Boundary Source and drove the power of the Heavenly Dao, she could no longer find the location of the five ancient Earth Immortals. It was as if some more mysterious, profound, and majestic power had isolated them from this world. Even she was affected.
This force was extremely powerful, seemingly capable of not only shielding Xiao Minghuang's senses but also the monitoring of the Heavenly Dao.
"What exactly is that..." Xiao Minghuang's face was filled with vigilance.
If there is any power in this world that can transcend the laws of heaven, then as far as she knows, it can only be the primordial power from the heavens, the true Immortal Qi!
It is not the floating immortal Immortal Qi found in the bodies of earth immortals, but rather a self-generated, ever-renewing, and cyclical energy, a unity of inner and outer, equivalent to an extension of the celestial realm, the true Immortal Dao Law unleashed by a true immortal!
487. The Demon Emperor Returns, Facing the Celestial Immortal!
This is a characteristic possessed only by true immortals!
"Could it be that they were able to summon immortals from the heavens?"
Xiao Minghuang's mind raced, and almost simultaneously, she thought of the Undying Divine Phoenix and Emperor Zhu Yan.
Her ancestor, the reviver of the ancient Great Xia, Emperor Zhu Yan, died at the hands of a descending immortal.
Now that she has just ascended to the position of ruler of the Southern Wilderness, is she already destined to follow in the footsteps of her ancestors?
"No!"
Xiao Minghuang's gaze was unwavering. She was prepared for the worst. Even if a celestial being were to descend to earth, she would go against the tide and defy the immortals!
"As long as I keep moving forward, the road ahead will never stop..."
At that very moment.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed through the void, followed by an unparalleled majesty that rolled in from the sky, sweeping across the heavens. Its vast and unfathomable aura permeated the eight wastelands, causing the entire Southern Wilderness Continent to sink heavily. The sky seemed to freeze, and countless living beings trembled in fear, unable to help but kneel and prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling.
"An immortal... an immortal?"
Xiao Minghuang looked up at the sky, gazing into the distance. His pupils constricted, and the hairs on his body stood on end. A deep sense of danger enveloped his entire being.
It was a blurry figure.
Its entire body radiated a jet-black light, as if it had transformed into a black hole. The surrounding space was chaotic and distorted, but in a darkness that even the light of the Sun Star could not penetrate, it burst forth with points of pure golden light, dazzling and radiant, as if it contained the laws of heaven and contained infinite mysteries. Each ray of golden light was like a star, scorching and burning.
This aura was terrifying and overwhelming. He stood there quietly, like a supreme deity, standing atop the heavens, controlling the universe and looking down upon countless living beings.
In the blink of an eye, darkness descended.
He slowly walked out of the darkness, and with each step he took, the space beneath his feet crumbled inch by inch, turning into fragments.
As he walked, the endless void was trampled beneath his feet, and his figure gradually became clearer.
Xiao Minghuang recognized the other person's face and froze on the spot, her pretty face showing surprise. "It's... it's you!"
He was a young man, tall and slender, with sword-like eyebrows and eyes that shone like bright stars. He was exceptionally handsome, but at this moment, there was no emotion in his eyes, only indifference and disregard.
"It's you!"
Xiao Minghuang clenched her fists, her delicate brows furrowed, her heart pounding in her chest. She never imagined that this mysterious and powerful celestial being would actually be an acquaintance of hers!
"Demon Emperor... why have you returned?"
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Minghuang looked up at the boundless and majestic figure in the sky and finally called out the name, asking the question that had been lingering in her heart.
The Demon Emperor remained silent, merely gazing at her.
His gaze was calm, as if he were looking at an ordinary object, without a trace of emotion.
"You..."
A chill ran through Xiao Minghuang's heart.
What exactly is this guy trying to do?
Previously, the Demon Emperor severed his own boundary source. She chose to pursue the Southern Wilderness boundary source over rescuing the Drunken Immortal Hermit, and thus was unable to stop the Demon Emperor from killing the Drunken Immortal Hermit.
Originally, she thought that whether or not the Demon Emperor could become an immortal through this, he would not stay in the Southern Wilderness any longer. After all, once he truly became an immortal, all matter below the path of immortality would have no effect on him. The various living beings and so-called natural treasures in the Southern Wilderness were probably not worth the Demon Emperor's lingering.
However, at this moment, the Demon Emperor appeared in the Southern Wilderness, right before her.
Furthermore, she saved the five ancient immortals just as she was about to kill them.
Xiao Minghuang didn't know the Demon Emperor's purpose, but since he had intervened, he must have ill intentions.
"It seems I'm about to face a fierce battle..."
Xiao Minghuang took a deep breath, her pretty face becoming serious.
There wasn't much interaction.
It seemed they knew she was prepared.
The Demon Emperor has finally made his move...
Boom!
Above Southern Star City, in the sky, a black curtain suddenly burst open, as black as ink, like a black cloud covering the entire Southern Star City.
At this moment, all the cultivators in Southern Star City stopped what they were doing, raised their heads, looked at the void, and their expressions changed drastically, filled with shock and horror.
Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the sky, like the chaos at the beginning of creation, and a giant hand emerged from it, pressing down hard!
The giant hand covered the sky, the sun and moon, and the laws of the heavens. Golden Immortal Dao Law surrounded it, like a golden mountain pressing down, suffocating people and even freezing their blood!
Click--
Before the giant hand could even land, the colossal city of Southern Star City, stretching for hundreds of miles and protected by a supreme array, was instantly shattered and utterly destroyed!
One after another, pitch-black void vortexes burst forth, and countless cultivators fell into them, leaving no trace of their bodies.
"Ah!"
The piercing screams were incessant, like a scene from hell!
"No!!"
I don't want to die!
"Spare me, immortal!"
"World Lord, save me!"
Countless people were filled with fear and dread.
"Oh my god..."
"What the hell is this thing?"
Outside Southern Star City, countless cultivators stood frozen in place, staring at the sky in disbelief.
They witnessed Southern Star City turn into ruins, its walls collapsed, most of the area sank directly, and hundreds of miles of the city disappeared in an instant, as if it had been swallowed up, leaving only a huge expanse of black scorched earth covering hundreds of miles.
Some of the cultivators who managed to escape collapsed to the ground, terrified, trembling, and filled with despair!
But when they looked up at the sky, they discovered something even more despairing and terrifying.
And there it was!
In the sky, an enormous palm print slowly pressed down, occupying two-thirds of the sky's area, blotting out the sun and covering the entire heavens.
On the palm print, one mysterious and obscure rune after another flashed, each rune carrying destructive power. Many mortals only needed to glance at it to bleed from all seven orifices and die on the spot!
What a terrifying sight this is!
For a time, the Southern Wilderness was in grave danger, and its inhabitants were in dire need of survival!
"Why? Is it that the heavens are destroying the Southern Wilderness?"
