Even if things came to that.
He still had nothing to fear, confident that he could withdraw unscathed.
But he would no longer be able to seize the Human Emperor Seal, that supreme treasure of the Human Race, directly from the Feiniao Clan.
"Boom!"
Just then-
After meeting his attack head-on, the Feiniao Clan Great Saint was sent flying by the impact.
Blood drenched his palm and fingers, exposing stark white bones. His hand trembled violently, and disbelief filled his face.
They had been locked in a fierce exchange, neither able to gain the upper hand, only for his opponent's combat power to suddenly soar far above his own. It was truly inconceivable.
"Damn it, what's going on?"
The somewhat bedraggled Great Saint Lu Xuan barely managed to steady himself.
His face filled with horror as he stared fixedly at Taiyi, whose terrifying presence made him seem like a Golden War God.
Recalling how his opponent had displayed more than one of the Nine Secrets while battling the Humanoid Lightning during that earth-shaking tribulation, he began to suspect something. Shocked and furious, he said, "His combat power suddenly skyrocketed... could it be Emperor Zun's Nine Secrets: Jie?"
Their clan had once enjoyed supreme glory and prosperity, dwelling upon Kunlun Immortal Mountain.
But during the Mythological Era, Emperor Zun, lord of the Ancient Heavenly Court, had conquered their Ancestral Grounds and exiled their clan.
Only after the Heavenly Court's destruction had these members of the Kunlun Remnant Clan returned to Flying Immortal Star, settling in the Kunlun Remnant Lands, whose main vein had been severed.
The Feiniao Clan Great Saint naturally knew all too well about Nine Secrets: Jie, the Supreme Secret Technique created by Emperor Zun that could unleash several times, or even ten times, one's combat power once triggered.
