Emperor Daye Descends

Just as everyone was in shock, the two Yu Jiangwei moved simultaneously!

Yu Jiangwei, on the left, took a step forward, and the Void beneath her feet exploded with a deafening roar!

She clenched her right hand in the Void, and the thin mist surrounding her surged wildly under that clench, instantly transforming into a long sword made entirely of mist.

The longsword was over ten feet long, with swirling mist on its blade, exuding an eerie aura that sent chills down one's spine.

She held the misty longsword horizontally in front of her, raised her head, and her gaze pierced through layers of Void, landing on Daoist Shurong, Chi Jianshu, and Luan Shu.

Yu Jiangwei on the right also moved at almost the same moment.

She did not condense a misty sword, but instead brought her hands together in front of her, her ten fingers flying across the paper as she formed an extremely profound hand seal.

Immediately, an even more turbulent mist surged forth.

Countless extremely fine runes could be faintly seen flowing within the swirling mist.

The mist obscured the Void, but the second Yu Jiangwei seemed to emanate a Mystic Light, directly striking Daoist Zhuxu!

She's going to fight three against one!

"These cultivators from the upper sects are so arrogant!" Daoist Zhuxu cursed inwardly.

However, his reaction was not slow at all. Almost at the same moment that the two Yu Jiangwei made their moves, he had already activated the Gingshen Platform Divine Art again.

The nine-tiered altar suspended in the Void once again shone with a blinding eerie light, and the dense, dark red runes on the altar seemed to come alive, swirling wildly.

He clasped his hands together and Void once more to Yu Jiangwei on his left!

But this time, his invincible Gingshen Platform Divine Art failed him.

The one on the left Yu Jiangwei, lightly slashed the misty longsword in her hand through the Void.

Where the misty sword passed, a white line was instantly slashed through the Void.

The white patterns spread like mist and instantly landed on the Spirit-Consulting Altar!

Daoist Zhuxu's expression suddenly changed.

At that very moment, Daoist Shurong, Chi Jianshu, and Luan Shu also made their move simultaneously!

Daoist Shurong suppressed the rampage of the Spirit-Consulting Altar deity in his Consciousness Sea and raised the Northern Dipper Jade Ruyi in his hand high.

The illusory image of the Big Dipper above their heads began to spin again, transforming into a Northern Dipper Star-Sword Formation, which pressed down on Yu Jiangwei on the right!

Luan Shu then flicked his whisk in the Void, and the illusory river beneath him crashed headlong into Yu Jiangwei on the left!

Two Yu Jiangwei, one using a misty longsword to meet Luan Shu's Great River Divine Ability, and the other using the surging mist around her to directly confront Daoist Shurong's Northern Dipper Star-Sword Formation!

The great war has begun!

In an instant, above the city, the deafening roar of colliding Divine Ability shook the heavens and the earth. The clash between Dao Origin and spiritual Qi stirred up a terrifying halo that blotted out the sky.

What was most terrifying was the mist emanating from Yu Jiangwei's body.

The mist initially swirled around her, but as the battle continued, it began to spread wildly in all directions.

Within a radius of ten miles, thirty miles, fifty miles... the mist devoured everything like a gluttonous beast that never knew when to stop, and in just a short while, it had already covered an area of a hundred miles in radius!

Chen Lingxi stood amidst the ruins, observing the battle in the sky using the method of Qi Observation.

"This Yu Jiangwei... is actually so powerful." Chen Lingxi gasped.

He fought against three opponents without being at a disadvantage, and even had the strength to shroud the battlefield in mist, preventing anyone from spying on him.

Such methods, such boldness, such profound knowledge far exceeded Chen Lingxi's imagination.

At that moment, Chen Lingxi suddenly frowned.

He suddenly lowered his head and took out the Three-Mystery Mirror from the Hongdong Bag.

Suddenly, a strange change occurred on the surface of the Three-Mystery Mirror!

On the mirror, the black Mystic Light symbolizing Zhao Duanxuan was hurtling towards them at an unimaginable speed!

The speed was too fast, like a black lightning bolt flashing across the mirror, and the distance between it and the pale gold dot symbolizing his own location was decreasing at a visible speed.

At that speed, Zhao Duanxuan will arrive here in no time!

Meanwhile, the blazing Mystic Light symbolizing Bai Lingze kept disappearing and reappearing, disappearing and reappearing... flashing wildly on the mirror!

The flashing frequency was so fast that Chen Lingxi's eyesight could barely keep up.

"These two are also approaching Nanche Province!"

Chen Lingxi's expression changed!

"Yu Jiangwei is already so troublesome; if Zhao Duanxuan and Bai Lingze were to arrive here as well, the situation would be completely out of control."

Before he could react, the blazing Mystic Light that was flashing wildly on the Three-Mystery Mirror suddenly vanished.

This time, it did not reappear in the same place.

Instead, it coincides with the star point where Chen Lingxi is located!

Chen Lingxi's breath hitched suddenly.

At that very moment, above the ruined city, at the edge of the churning mist, the Void suddenly opened up!

Immediately afterwards, a black vortex slowly extended out from it.

Within the vortex, a figure could be vaguely seen slowly emerging.

The man was dressed in pure white, spotless, like a white cloud drifting down from the sky.

His face was extremely handsome, like jade, his eyebrows were as light as smoke, and his eyes were clear and untouched by worldly dust, making him seem unlike any ordinary person.

He walked with a leisurely pace, as if strolling in his own backyard.

It was Bai Lingze.

He emerged from the black vortex, and faint hymns began to echo in the surrounding Void.

The hymns sounded as if hundreds of gods were chanting simultaneously, each syllable containing profound and ineffable truths.

Those syllables transformed into ripples of sound waves, spreading outwards in all directions from Bai Lingze as the center.

The whispers of the immortals that Chen Lingxi heard during his Total Perception Evolution resurfaced.

"Another Dao Foundation Realm Incarnation..."

He quickly assessed the situation in his mind. Yu Jiangwei three against one, Zhao Duanxuan was about to arrive, and now Bai Lingze had also made a brazen appearance.

Five Dao Foundation Realm Incarnations have gathered here!

"This small Nanche Prefectural City is already a battleground where gods fight and mortals suffer! I must leave this place immediately, or I'll be swept away by the aftershocks and shattered to pieces!"

Bai Lingze appeared, his gaze sweeping over the ruins of the city, over the swirling mist in the sky, and over the faint collisions of Dao Origin within the mist. A smile of interest appeared on his face.

Immediately, his gaze fell upon Chen Lingxi, who was struggling to suppress the immortal's whispers amidst the ruins.

A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, which quickly transformed into an undisguised, icy killing intent.

"There was an unexpected bonus." Bai Lingze shook his head, his tone as calm as still water.

His ethereal eyes held no trace of a smile, as cold as an abyss, as his gaze swept back and forth over Chen Lingxi.

"You've surprised me quite a bit," Bai Lingze murmured, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "A mere ant from the local Weiji Grotto-Heaven has managed to become so powerful in such a short time."

I'm quite curious about what secrets you're hiding."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lingxi felt the immortal's whisper suddenly become louder in her ear!

What was originally a very faint and ethereal hymn of praise, at this moment, was as if hundreds of gods were simultaneously beating war drums in his ears!

Each syllable struck his Consciousness Sea like a hammer blow!

He felt his Consciousness Sea tremble violently, and his head throbbed with pain!

"I originally wanted to kill you to settle things... but now I don't want to kill you anymore." Bai Lingze looked down at him, a calm smile on his face.

He suddenly extended his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread, and Chen Lingxi.

Even from a distance of a hundred feet, Chen Lingxi felt an invisible and intangible yet overwhelming and terrifying suction force firmly locking him in.

His spiritual energy was completely suppressed by that force, and he couldn't even activate the Qi-Sea Vortex. He could only watch helplessly as that hand slowly reached out to grasp him.

"I want to dissect you layer by layer and examine you closely."

Bai Lingze spoke, his tone dismissive and casual, like a mischievous child squatting under a tree, determined to catch the ant, tear it to pieces, and see what its body was like!

In his eyes, Chen Lingxi was nothing more than a slightly larger ant!

Chen Lingxi raised her head and met Bai Lingze's ethereal, otherworldly, yet icy and unfathomable eyes.

"What bad luck!"

Bai Lingze's visit today must be for the sake of the several Dao Foundation Realm experts who are currently facing off here.

The confrontation between Yu Jiangwei, Chi Jianshu, Luan Shu, and Daoist Zhuxu, these four Dao Foundation Realm incarnations, has caused such a commotion that it has already alarmed countless powerful figures in the surrounding area.

Bai Lingze was one of them.

I just happened to be here too!

However, he had a past conflict with Bai Lingze.

Upon arriving, the first thing Bai Lingze did was to casually crush himself, the ant that was in his way.

"Moreover, the black Mystic Light representing Zhao Duanxuan is approaching this place at an unimaginable speed."

Once Zhao Duanxuan arrives, all six Dao Foundation Realm will be gathered here.

"At that time, let alone protecting the Guiding Passage Formation, it's uncertain whether he and Lin Suri and the others will even be able to leave alive."

The Divine Ability Jade and the Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch that were being nurtured within the Guiding Passage Formation were crucial to his advancement into the Dao Foundation Realm, and they could not be lost.

If I don't make a decision soon, I'll be doomed.

then...

Right now!

Chen Lingxi resolutely crushed the Golden Finger Bone of Emperor Daye!

Click!

A very crisp cracking sound rang out.

The Golden Finger Bone shattered into dust in his palm.

A golden beam of light shot into the sky and landed in the Void!

Bai Lingze's Divine Ability to grasp the Void vanished instantly under the golden light. The terrifying power that had bound Chen Lingxi also disappeared in an instant.

A hint of surprise appeared on Bai Lingze's face.

He raised his head, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Chen Lingxi did not hesitate for a moment longer!

He suddenly turned around, and the Longevity Bridge that stretched across the sky beneath his feet suddenly materialized, carrying his figure into a streak of light as he sped away.

His Divine Sense landed in the ears of Lin Suri, Jiang Xiu, and Wei Qingran: "The struggle for the Dao Foundation Realm here is beyond Non-Self ability to intervene. Retreat immediately!"

Lin Suri and the others naturally sensed the terrifying pressure from the Dao Foundation Realm around them.

They knew that staying there was tantamount to waiting to die.

Jiang Xiu and Wei Qingran immediately joined forces, enveloping the already crumbling Guiding Passage Formation along with the Divine Ability Jade and Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch that had not yet fully descended within it in a restriction, and together with Chen Lingxi and Lin Suri, they frantically fled towards the direction outside Nanche Province.

At the very moment they fled, the sky above Nanche Prefectural City changed completely!

The fragments of that Golden Finger Bone had shattered into powder, which transformed into an enormous golden human face in the Void.

The man's face was a hundred feet long, and his appearance was extremely heroic and majestic. It was Ying Xian other than Emperor Daye!

Two golden gazes, almost tangible, fell directly upon the white-clad figure who had been forced back by the golden light.

With a cold snort, countless fine and intricate golden runes spewed out from the giant mouth of that face, transforming into a majestic golden cage that tightly trapped Bai Lingze, who had just shown surprise, along with the surging sonic waves of Divine Hymn surrounding him!

at the same time.

Deep within the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, in that remote place bordering the Southern Sea.

Emperor Daye Ying Xian, slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes, burning with golden flames, reflected the shattered finger bones, the enormous human face above the Nanche Prefectural City, and the white-clad young man trapped in a golden cage by his projection.

A slight smile appeared on his face as he slowly stood up.

With one step, the remaining aura of old age on his body dissipated rapidly like the receding tide.

Gray hair turned black, wrinkles disappeared, a hunched back became straight, and withered limbs regained their plumpness.

He was like an ancient artifact that had been wiped clean of dust, shining with renewed brilliance.

He took a deep breath, and a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

The golden light shimmered with various patterns, just like a giant map!

The map actually depicted many mountains and rivers in great detail.

This was the earth-shattering array he had painstakingly constructed over many years, at the cost of countless lives, connecting the entire Great Li and even the surrounding countries and regions!

Immediately afterwards!

With a flick of his sleeve, Emperor Daye conjured a war chariot before him.

The chariot was radiant with golden light, and nine five-clawed golden dragon phantoms were pulling it from the front. Although they were phantoms, they possessed a terrifying dragon might that could awe all living beings!

Emperor Daye stepped onto his chariot, lightly tapped the map formed by golden light, and pointed it towards Nanche Province on the map!

Instantly, the chariot almost became a blur.

Rainbow light spread out beneath the chariot.

He drove his chariot onto the Rainbow Light, heading far away to Nanche Province!

Its speed was incredibly fast, several times faster than Zhao Duanxuan, who was riding the waves across the sea!

In Nanche Province, Bai Lingze, who had intended to toy with the ant he already held in his palm, was suddenly trapped by the terrifying golden face of Emperor Daye.

A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, followed by a cold snort.

Within that golden cage, he spread his arms wide. Instantly, a terrifying aura erupted, turning the Void white!

The Divine Hymn, like the roar of ten thousand gods, raged against the golden rune barrier that imprisoned him.

At this moment, amidst the surging mist that covered an area of a hundred miles, Yu Jiangwei was using the power of two bodies to fight three powerful figures alone, and she was not at a disadvantage at all.

Beyond Nanche Province lies the Southern Sea, bordering the Great Zhou Waters.

The Great Zhou Imperial Palace was also very close to the Great Zhou Waters.

With the help of the Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation, Emperor Daye's speed reached an terrifying extreme!

A short while passes by!

Bai Lingze broke free from the golden face's restraints. His white robes were slightly disheveled, and his once composed and handsome face now revealed a hint of gloom and undisguised murderous intent.

He suddenly turned his head, his Divine Sense sweeping across!

They wanted to track down Chen Lingxi and the others who had escaped from Nanche Province.

But at that very moment, from the distant horizon, the golden light of a chariot suddenly emanated, and a terrifying pressure that made his heart tremble surged forth like a tidal wave!

Emperor Daye has arrived!
