"... overestimating oneself."
The young man's words shocked countless people, causing their expressions to change drastically. Only Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor remained calm and actually laughed out loud.
He raised his right hand and pressed it down into the surrounding void:
"Imperial Guards, on my command! Form ranks immediately and kill this man!!"
We will obey the Sacred Edict!
A thunderous roar of responses instantly resounded throughout the Capital City!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the earth trembled, tens of thousands of elite imperial guards surrounding the South City simultaneously unleashed their weapons, and five powerful and overwhelming auras of the Fortune-Mastery Realm rose from the ground in five directions of the military formation!
Five Imperial Guard commanders clad in black armor appeared in the air, each emanating Laws fluctuation that was at least at the sixth level of the Fortune-Mastery Realm!
In addition, there were several court officials accompanying Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor, as well as many powerful ministers and military generals in the court...
At this moment, the terrifying power hidden beneath the surface of the Longwind Divine Dynasty was finally revealed!
The Divine Dynasty alone has more than twenty officially registered Fortune-Mastery True Cultivator!
This only represents the forces the Imperial Court publicly displays; it doesn't even include the Imperial Clan Court and the senior officials secretly cultivating their skills!
As a hegemonic dynasty that monopolizes the entire Eternal Night Continent, their actual strength far surpasses that of the so-called Jade Dais Palace and Zi Yue Valley within the Three Continents Alliance!
It's true that Ye Li was able to kill those True Person in the Eastern Palace.
But to think that this could overthrow the entire Longwind Divine Dynasty is simply wishful thinking!
As long as the True Lord stands, the Divine Dynasty will never perish!!
Nearly ten powerful auras from the Fortune-Mastery Realm merged into one, coordinating with the vast and boundless Imperial Guard battle formations around them, completely sealing off the entire area!
Shen Lingyi, Qin Baiyi, and the others in the distance were so overwhelmed by this display of power that their faces turned deathly pale, and their breathing became incredibly difficult!
In the center of the ruins.
"..."
As the terrifying aura surrounding him from all directions subsided, the Supreme Clarity Palace Master, whose tense expression had been momentarily shaken, suddenly transformed into a carefree smile.
Having been in charge of the Supreme Clarity Palace for many years, and during her early years when she roamed the Cold Sea Continent, she was revered by cultivators from various sects and was known as "the Cold Sea Continent's Craziest True Person"!
Now, because he wants to safely escort Ye Li out of the continent, he has become so hesitant and indecisive.
Even assuming, hypothetically, that Ye Li had complied with Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor's conditions and agreed to stay in the Capital City, would he really have a good life afterward?
How could that be!
She knew better than anyone the domineering and autocratic style of the Longwind Divine Dynasty Imperial House.
If we back down today, the other party will surely take advantage of this and force Ye Li to sign Subject Contract in which his life and death are controlled by the royal family!
Rather than let my own Palace Heir suffer such humiliation and frustration, it's better to make a scene today!
With a single thought of enlightenment, the Supreme Clarity Palace Master felt a surge of boundless pride within him, and the flawless, perfect Fortune-Mastery Ninth Rank Great Dao burst forth into the sky!
Her elegant Green Robe fluttered in the fierce wind as the peerless Supreme Clarity Palace Master threw her head back and laughed heartily, her clear and melodious voice overpowering the overwhelming military might.
"Since that's the case, then let's turn this Longwind Capital upside down today!"
Before he could finish speaking...
With a sudden flick of her sleeve, a gentle yet resilient stream of Pure Qi instantly enveloped Shen Lingyi, An Ziqing, and the others in the distance, pushing them directly to the edge of the battlefield.
"Shen Lingyi, lead everyone to retreat out of the city immediately. Do not remain nearby and interfere!"
Immediately afterwards, she glanced at Ye Li, who was brimming with fighting spirit beside her, and quickly gave him instructions:
"Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor's aura has already touched the threshold of True Lord, give me some time!"
"Be careful of the combined attack formation of those Imperial Guard commanders. Don't get trapped or captured by them. Once I've defeated this man, I'll come and help you break through their formation!"
That's all.
He didn't even wait for Ye Li to answer.
The Supreme Clarity Palace Master burst forth with pure light, transforming into a dazzling azure rainbow that tore through the sky. Facing the overwhelming imperial might in the high sky, he charged straight toward Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor!
"Good timing!!"
Cold Glint flashed in Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor's eyes. His dragon robe billowed as he took a step forward, his five fingers carrying the glorious National Fortune, and he struck down with a palm!
The next moment.
Two unparalleled powerhouses, standing at the pinnacle of the Fortune-Mastery Realm Ninth Rank Peak and only a hair's breadth away from True Lord, clashed head-on high above the Capital City!
Rumble--!
The blinding light engulfed the entire Firmament, and the violent impact of the Laws swept in all directions like the Heaven-and-Earth Shattering Catastrophe earth!
The high-altitude Sea of Clouds was swept away, and the streets, alleys, and palaces stretching for tens of thousands of miles collapsed in patches.
The entire foundation of Longwind Capital city with Inheritance tens of thousands of years, shook violently under the impact of this attack!
Rumble!!
Before the initial turmoil had subsided, violent shockwaves of Laws energy exploded outwards in the sky!
Two ghostly figures clashed repeatedly in the void, and the aftershocks from each exchange could form howling gales that swept across thousands of miles of land!
The massive array surrounding the Capital City below trembled continuously, and sections of palace rooftops were torn apart and shattered amidst the roar!
They exchanged blows in just a few rounds.
Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor intentionally restrained the force of his palm strike towards the ground, taking a step that covered thousands of miles, and actively moved the battlefield outside the Longwind Capital.
If we really want to fight freely over the Capital City...
Even with the protection of the National Fortune array, this imperial Imperial Capital of the Divine Dynasty, which has been established for tens of thousands of years, will probably be mostly destroyed first.
The Supreme Clarity Palace Master clearly shared the same thoughts.
There were still Shen Lingyi and other Supreme Clarity Palace Master inside the city who hadn't gone far. Only by going to an open area outside the city to fight could she truly unleash her abilities without any scruples!
Alas!!
As the two flew out of the Capital City's territory one after the other and arrived above the vast, continuous mountains outside the city, their auras were no longer held back!
Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor stood amidst the surging purple-gold Sea of Clouds. With a wave of his hand, the magnificent National Fortune roared from the direction of the Capital City, transforming into several ferocious and enormous Five-Clawed Golden Dragons that circled around him and pounced fiercely!
The golden dragon carried an immense imperial might that suppressed mountains and rivers; wherever it passed, the void collapsed inch by inch!
Faced with this terrifying offensive, which was aided by the National Fortune of an entire continent.
The Supreme Clarity Palace Master had a cold expression. As she formed hand seals, a vast expanse of Great Clarity Immortal Essence surged from her body, transforming into a sky-covering azure Azure Nether Dao Diagram in mid-air!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, mysterious Dao Seals crashed down from the Dao diagram, shattering the golden dragon of National Fortune that was rushing towards them!
Purple Qi and clear light raged wildly in the sky, tearing the clouds within a radius of tens of thousands of miles to shreds!
This female cultivator, who has been in charge of the Supreme Clarity Palace for many years, truly deserves to be hailed as the number one person below the True Lord of the Cold Sea Continent!
Even though Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor had the continuous blessing of a prosperous National Fortune and his strength was approaching the threshold of Dao Source True Lord.
However, under the flawless and perfect Daoist aura of the Supreme Clarity Palace Master, neither could gain the slightest advantage. The two fought to a standstill, neither showing the slightest sign of weakness!
At the same time.
The two people in the air moved to a different battlefield.
Ye Li, standing in the center of the ruins, also had no intention of staying in the city.
"After going through all that trouble, how could I possibly let you steal my kills..."
He muttered to himself, then took a step, his figure transforming into a dazzling Golden Thunderbolt, traversing countless distances in one stride, and arriving directly on the vast land outside the Capital City!
It was located directly below those two towering figures high in the sky!
Buzz!!
The moment his foot touched the ground, a ripple appeared in the space behind him!
Following the sound, he saw the five Fortune-Mastery Realm at the Qi Refining Realm arrive in a fan shape in front of him!
That's not all.
As the five people simultaneously waved their command flags, the void behind them suddenly opened up, and a massive array inscribed with ancient and profound Laws appeared out of thin air!
The tens of thousands of elite imperial guards who were originally stationed in various parts of the South City were instantly teleported to this plain as this mysterious ancient formation was activated!
Splash!
A vast torrent of black armor filled the field of vision, with tens of thousands of powerful Blood Vitality and military formations intertwined, condensing in mid-air into a suffocating blood-red sky.
This completely cuts off Ye Li's escape route!
This is the ancient formation that Inheritance for thousands of years by the Long Wind Imperial Dynasty!
Once the formation is locked in place, not only ordinary Fortune-Mastery True Cultivators in the late stage of the cultivation realm, but even top-tier experts in the Late Fortune-Mastery would be ground to death by the endless killing energy of the military formation!
On a hillside in the distance where people had just evacuated from the city.
Shen Lingyi, Qin Baiyi, Pei You'an, and the others stopped in their tracks and turned back to look at the suffocating blockade that loomed over the plain like Black Clouds Pressing the City. Their faces turned pale, and they secretly broke out in a cold sweat for Ye Li!
