"Rumble!"
Just as everyone was repairing the seal, peals of thunder suddenly rang out in the sky.
An enormous vortex appeared. Bai Yu immediately sensed evil qi seeping out of it, so thick it had almost taken solid form.
A withered hand slowly extended from the vortex. Bolstered by the evil qi, the dust of Zhi You, who had already been reduced to ashes, was forcibly gathered together, and a black soul emerged.
The soul steadily condensed before finally growing flesh and blood. Soon, a black-robed man who looked exactly like Zhi You slowly appeared within the vortex.
"This is bad! That's an Evil Emperor!"
Bai Yu's expression changed at the sight.
Those repairing the seal also sensed that something was wrong. Clearly, none of them had expected an Evil Emperor to break through the restrictions of the Starry Sky Ancient Road and descend here.
The man opened his eyes with an indifferent expression and swept his gaze over everyone. His aura rapidly weakened, only stopping once it reached the Mahayana fifth layer.
"Were you the ones who ruined my arrangements?"
"Which of you is Bu Jinghuang?"
A savage pressure swept outward, setting the entire formation shaking. As though sensing the Evil Emperor's aura, the Great Dao runes within Fallen Immortal Valley immediately erupted with brilliant light.
Beneath that light, Beitang Piaoxue and the others repairing the seal were immobilized by a terrifying force, while the tokens in their hands began to tremble.
Clearly, the Ancient Sage Seal had sensed the threat of the Evil Emperor and was drawing in energy to repair itself.
Everyone drew a deep breath at the sight. Was the Ancient Sage Seal planning to hold them here and drag them down with it?
"Bu Jinghuang?"
"This Evil Emperor actually called out Bu Jinghuang by name.
