Upon hearing this, Qing Ye Quasi-Emperor stared fixedly at Nine Heavens, yet did not dare retort.

With that, his spirit projection vanished from where it stood, returning to his own territory.
Although the Imperial Legacy Battlefield's destruction would immediately destroy and erase him as well, even as a mere spirit projection, he did not want to die beneath Nine Heavens' sword.
