Everyone was stunned at the sight.
Ancient Emperors were mighty figures who had once dominated an entire era, existences on the same level as the Great Emperors of today.
With their own Dao, they suppressed all the Daos of the heavens and held sway over an entire age.
The legacies they left behind were all among the world's supreme arts.
"Ancient Emperor Inheritance!"
Hearing everyone's cries, Li Qingyue's heart tightened, and she instinctively caught Yang Wuzheng's sleeve.
Though the Sacred Body had its own legacy, the outcome against the legacy of an Ancient Emperor-an Ancient Great Emperor-was still hard to predict.
"It's fine. The Ancient Emperor Inheritance may be powerful, but that still depends on who wields it!"
"Besides, a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body can contend with a Great Emperor!"
"Naturally, it needn't fear any imperial art."
Yang Wuzheng spoke calmly, seemingly without the slightest concern, which eased Li Qingyue's mind a little.
She instinctively grabbed some roast meat and stuffed it into her mouth.
Her clear, bright eyes watched the two combatants from afar.
The others wore slightly strange expressions at the sight.
The Sacred Body was fighting someone who possessed the Ancient Emperor Inheritance for her sake, his life hanging in the balance, yet this girl was still in the mood to eat.
It was as though food was the girl's one true love.
Rumble...
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted.
It was the first clash between the Sacred Body and Tuoba Ye.
A collision between the Mountain-Embracing Seal and the Ancient Emperor Inheritance.
Powerful waves of air slashed outward like knives.
The ground began to crack, and countless densely packed formation patterns flickered into view, seemingly ready to shatter at any moment.
The center of the collision resembled a raging black hole.
Terrifying force scattered the clouds overhead.
Two figures, one gold and one black, hurtled backward. Everywhere they passed, the void warped continuously, with faint cracks appearing.
This was merely a clash between two Dao Palace Realm cultivators.
Yet its terrifying power almost rivaled that of the Four Extremes Realm, rending heaven and earth.
"So powerful!"
Li Qingyue's heart trembled. The force of that strike had nearly annihilated everything.
Without the formation patterns here to withstand it, the entire estate would likely have been destroyed.
Her strength of tens of thousands of pounds was like a faint firefly's glow before these holy sons and geniuses, separated from them by the gulf between that glow and the radiance of the sun and moon.
At that moment, she clearly understood her own weakness.
Her resolve to grow stronger burned more fiercely than ever.
Only with strength could she take control of her own destiny.
"They're actually evenly matched!"
The onlookers marveled as well. Though the Sacred Body had used a combat art, it had seemed utterly unremarkable.
Tuoba Ye had unleashed an art from the Ancient Emperor Inheritance, yet he had failed to suppress the Sacred Body.
The sight exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Hmph! You've got some ability!"
Tuoba Ye snorted coldly. His figure flashed, and like a cloud of black mist, he instantly closed in on Yan Wushuang.
Endless divine light bloomed from his hand, with countless stars faintly manifesting within it.
Those stars sometimes resembled ancient beasts and sometimes transformed into immortal birds. Dragons soared and phoenixes danced, while beastly roars shook the heavens, like gods and demons.
"Try taking another strike!"
With Tuoba Ye's cold shout, his star-wreathed fist smashed straight toward Yan Wushuang's head.
Everyone grew even more shaken at the sight.
Though they were all holy sons with no shortage of legacies, this Beast Emperor Legacy was unexpectedly powerful.
It drew upon the power of the stars throughout the heavens to manifest the Starry Myriad Beasts, each possessing its own terrifying divine ability.
As they fused together, they unleashed a terrifying power of slaughter.
This was a supreme secret killing art.
Thud!
Yan Wushuang's expression grew grave. He stepped forward, each step warping the void as boundless momentum gathered around him.
The next moment, his hands formed another seal.
Hum!
A terrifying mountain descended from the sky, as though an utterly real mountain range had manifested, blotting out the heavens and the sun.
Its boundless suppressive force caused the ground of the entire estate to sink.
It was still the Mountain-Embracing Seal.
But now, Yan Wushuang's Sea of Bitterness and Dao Palaces shone with divine light. Endless divine power surged, seemingly staining the entire sky gold.
A vast Bitter Sea could faintly be seen, stretching without end.
Five Dao Palaces resembled an ancient celestial court, magnificent and majestic.
With such amplification, the Mountain-Embracing Seal was several times more powerful than before.
"Gasp... is this the Sacred Body's Bitter Sea and Dao Palaces?"
Everyone instinctively cried out at the sight.
They were too powerful, boundless and suffused with Dao Resonance, yielding nothing even to those experts who cultivated only a single secret realm.
"No wonder the Sacred Body has a legend of invincibility!"
Someone exclaimed in awe.
Such a vast Bitter Sea and Dao Palaces permeated with endless Dao Resonance were simply unprecedented, leaving everyone profoundly shaken.
Moreover, they knew that this manifestation was only the radiance released when the Sacred Body unleashed his power.
The Sacred Body's actual Bitter Sea and Dao Palaces were likely even more terrifying than this radiant manifestation.
So these are the Bitter Sea and Dao Palaces?
Li Qingyue's expression became more intent than ever as she watched, her eyes fixed on the space surrounding Yan Wushuang.
The Bitter Sea was boundless, and the Dao Palaces were grand, like a celestial court.
Endless Dao Resonance filled the air, like interwoven traces of the Great Dao.
It seemed even more like a true world, possessing limitless might.
She suddenly recalled that the Sacred Body's legacy included a secret art for tempering the grotto-heaven of a single secret realm, pushing that realm to its utmost limit.
This was the fundamental reason a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body could contend with a Great Emperor.
It was the foundation.
A vast, boundless foundation had forged the myth of invincibility.
No wonder the Nine Saints Gate holy land let a Sacred Body who hasn't even reached minor accomplishment venture out for experience!
That immensely substantial foundation alone is enough to make anyone shrink back in awe.
Li Qingyue marveled inwardly, divine light gleaming in her eyes as she silently absorbed it all.
Yet she still instinctively kept stuffing the roast meat in her hand into her mouth.
Everyone froze when they noticed.
Just what kind of girl was she?
Even at a time like this, she could keep eating roast meat without so much as a change in expression.
Even Yang Wuzheng beside her looked a little dazed.
Then, for some inexplicable reason, he chuckled.
I've... become a meat-munching spectator?
Feeling the gazes around her, Li Qingyue was somewhat speechless, but she did not stop.
As she was now, eating was her only way to grow stronger.
And she would never give up even the slightest chance to gain strength.
Boom!
Another utterly terrifying collision rang out.
At that moment, the enormous estate seemed to split apart. Countless flower beds, landscaped gardens, and ancient trees were completely overturned, even with the protection of formation patterns.
Even the holy sons shone with divine light, instinctively defending themselves against the endless waves of air.
Crack! Crack!
At the center of the collision, countless streaks of pitch-black lightning seemed to spread.
The void had actually been shattered.
This was only a battle in the Dao Palace Realm, yet it possessed a might that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth, exceeding everyone's imagination.
"With that little strength, you still dream of killing me!"
Tuoba Ye roared, planting both feet on the ground to steady himself.
He seemed to grow fiercer with every exchange. Thick black mist engulfed his body, as though an ancient Fierce Beast had returned to life to destroy heaven and earth.
"So much for the Sacred Body's reputation!"
"Very well. I'll kill you and show you the gap between us!"
Tuoba Ye let out a long, resounding cry, seemingly brimming with limitless confidence and power.
The next moment, the endless black mist seemed to take shape all at once.
Pitch-black stars circled him, myriad beasts manifesting upon them with heaven-shaking might.
"Die!"
Tuoba Ye's five- or six-meter-tall figure abruptly stepped forward, shooting toward Yan Wushuang like a bolt of black lightning.
Countless black stars converged, descending in a killing blow that seemed poised to tear the firmament apart.
Yan Wushuang's expression was solemn. His feet moved continuously, neither panicked nor hurried, yet exceedingly cautious.
Their previous clash had appeared evenly matched, but he knew he had been at a disadvantage.
The secret killing art of the Ancient Emperor Inheritance was far too terrifying.
Had the Sacred Body's innate essence not been peerless, he would surely have been injured by now.
Yet fighting the Ancient Emperor Inheritance to this extent with an ordinary inheritance still left everyone alarmed.
As Tuoba Ye closed in, Yan Wushuang's hands formed another seal.
A supreme might rose from him, like the unsurpassed majesty of humanity's sovereign, its grandeur swallowing mountains and rivers.
The vast, boundless Bitter Sea and magnificent Dao Palaces manifested in the void once more.
"Human King Seal!"
