The time has come!
At this very moment.
Jade Phoenix Empress and her many Phoenix Envoys gazed at the enormous star before them.
That is the Firmament Ruins.
The aura that enveloped the area sealed off the surrounding void, radiating a terrifying pressure that made everything oppressive and exceptionally peaceful.
With so many God Emperor descending together, that's definitely a top-tier spectacle in the star field!
Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to glance at it, let alone get close.
They've come for revenge, of course; the power struggles and grudges deserve a resolution...
Jade Phoenix Empress's expression was unpredictable; this battle was inevitable.
The grudges against the Heart of Creation Lone Cosmos Star must also be settled.
... Although her presence wasn't very noticeable on Lone Cosmos Star, and everything only became clear afterward, the Lord of the Firmament was also a suddenly appearing enemy.
However, this does not preclude the formation of cause and effect.
As for Chen Fan, we'll just have to wait and see, and wait for her good news!
Anyway, his arrival wouldn't be of much use, so it's definitely not that she deliberately kept it from me...
The other Phoenix Envoys, seated in the void, had solemn expressions.
They knew, of course, that the Phoenix Empress was waiting for the Lord of the Firmament to appear and settle scores openly and fairly!
After all, their Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm is a prominent star, and the Phoenix Empress is now Half-Step Creation God! Her name resounds Eastern Star Domain!
They utterly disdain engaging in such Old Sixth and unethical acts as ambushes.
It only needs to happen suddenly, catching people off guard.
The grudge against the Heart of Creation must be avenged! Because if the Lord of the Firmament had succeeded and they, the Phoenix Empress, had failed, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
How can we just let this go!
Chen Jingjing remained silent. As an undercover agent, she knew that the Phoenix Empress had not informed Chen Fan of this matter.
Logically speaking, since it seems to be related to their Lineage, they should... But thinking about it, even if Chen Fan came, it would be useless; he couldn't intervene in a confrontation of this level, so he might as well have come.
If we accidentally make them hesitant and restrained, then it would be a loss...
Soon, everyone sensed the arrival of some powerful figures, and they knew that a powerful expert from the Firmament Ruins had appeared.
His expression hardened slightly.
Although the presence of the Phoenix Empress makes it relatively easy, the factor of the Void Heaven Ancient City still warrants some caution, and a fierce battle is inevitable.
then.
The Lord of the Firmament and other powerful figures noticed the situation and appeared, but their expressions were not pleasant.
The Jade Phoenix Empress, accompanied by powerful figures from the Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm, has finally come knocking!
Danger!
The only saving grace was that the Jade Phoenix Empress was at the Half-Step Creation Realm, didn't launch a sneak attack; she still showed some martial ethics, otherwise they would have been in even greater danger.
The Lord of the Firmament stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing as he surveyed the enemy.
He was prepared and knew he couldn't avoid this battle.
"It's finally here..." He smiled wryly.
He then said...
" Jade Phoenix Empress, you still intend to make a move against my Firmament Ruins after all..."
However, he wasn't entirely without confidence; he only needed to stall for time and wait for the one from the Void Heaven Ancient City to arrive.
No matter how difficult it is, he must hold off the Jade Phoenix Empress! No matter the cost! His injuries have recently healed to about 70-80%, and even if he is not at his peak and it affects his future breakthroughs, with the Ancestral Lightning Thousandfold Black Crow by his side, he will not be without any power to resist.
Xu Tianbaye, come join us!
Even if Jade Phoenix Empress is Half-Step Creation God, she might not be able to pose a fatal threat to him! Take advantage of the chaos to survive!
He was unwilling to accept this state of destitution, where even surviving in the cracks was not an option; this was the best choice. He refused to believe that the Xu Tianbaye could be ignored!
Immediately, Chen Sheng, standing behind the Lord of the Firmament, glanced at Chen Jingjing, who was next to the Jade Phoenix Empress.
Chen Jingjing glanced at Chen Sheng, and they exchanged a clear look. The message was clear: We'll just pretend to fight, give each other a show of force, and ignore the rest; we can't control anything else anyway.
I've heard that...
The Jade Phoenix Empress were unremarkable; upon meeting again, they would be enemies.
Her current state of mind is unusually calm.
" Lord of the Firmament, this is a matter of cause and effect between us. How can you presume to attack the Firmament Ruins..."
There's a cause for every wrong, and a debt for every debt; she won't indiscriminately kill the innocent. However, her karmic connection with the Lord of the Firmament is destined to implicate the entire Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm and the Firmament Ruins! Therefore, you can't blame her for being ruthless...
Upon hearing this, the many powerful figures in the Firmament Ruins understood that the Jade Phoenix Empress only wanted to settle scores with their master, and it had little to do with them.
For a fleeting moment, out of fear of Jade Phoenix Empress's cultivation level, the thought of betrayal even crossed their minds. After all, if their lord truly couldn't defeat her, then death was inevitable... No! This involved their interests; if they betrayed her, the price they would pay would be just as heavy!
Not to mention, the Void Heaven Ancient City hasn't even appeared yet; everything is unknown, and the outcome is uncertain. What if...?
Everyone thought that way, but Chen Sheng was an exception.
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Firmament could not deny it.
" The Heart of Creation —it's because my skills are inferior! And if it weren't for that Eternal Realm Lord, I might not have failed!"
Since things have come to this point, there's no need to hide anything; let's just lay it all out!
He admitted he couldn't resist the temptation of the Heart of Creation, but he could have resisted it. But who told you to suddenly become husband and wife with that kid! It's absolutely shocking! Don't you realize how big the gap is between you two?
It also disturbed his state of mind, and the environment of the Lone Cosmos Star caused him to lose some control, leading to that outcome.
Otherwise, he wouldn't mind making a good impression, and he wouldn't mind if his woman was stronger than him...
Of course, this all hinges on Jade Phoenix Empress's willingness. But what about now? There hasn't even been a chance to be honest, and we don't even know if Jade Phoenix Empress is willing, yet it's being nipped in the bud! It hurts, it hurts so much!
If it weren't for Chen Fan, this variable who could command those ferocious demons and undead, and the hidden assistance of powerful figures, he would have already obtained the Heart of Creation! At the very least, the Jade Phoenix Empress wouldn't have so easily broken through to the Half-Step Creation and posed such a huge threat to him!
How could I willingly let ants ruin my future and great plans!
I've heard that...
Both groups of powerful individuals were pondering their own options.
The powerful figures of the Firmament Ruins couldn't deny that everyone would be moved by the Heart of Creation; it was simply a matter of who would win and who would lose, and who would bear the consequences. Their lord had done the right thing!
It was only because that insignificant Eternal Realm Lord ruined things that the Lord himself admitted it. You can't deny it, the Lord himself admitted it.
On the other hand, the powerful figures of the Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm were filled with righteous indignation, and this was indeed justified!
It's unbelievable that the Eternal Realm Lord could influence a battle between Peak God Emperor, but it's also a fact, as the Phoenix Empress herself admitted. In that sense, the Eternal Realm Lord has done a great favor for their Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm!
But Jade Phoenix Empress immediately became indifferent.
The Lord of the Firmament is right.
but...
"If it weren't for the Eternal Realm Lord, I wouldn't even have had a chance to obtain the Heart of Creation! So how could you possibly have succeeded..."
If it weren't for Chen Fan, they wouldn't have had the chance to see the Heart of Creation, let alone decide who won or lost, and none of this would have happened.
But since it has already happened, she will inevitably side with her husband!
at the same time.
In some hidden, empty space, as two groups confronted each other, unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes were observing everything.
Xu Tianbaye arrived in secrecy, observing the situation through a hidden miniature world. He was, of course, constantly watching the changes in the Jade Phoenix Ancestral Realm and the Firmament Ruins, trying to control them and prevent them from escaping his control.
It wouldn't be too late for him to make his move after the Lord of the Firmament suffers a bit, otherwise he'd still be unhappy.
Some faces hardened slightly. Who exactly was this Eternal Realm Lord...? The Heart of Creation... it sounded like he was one of them.
It seems there's something fishy about Lone Cosmos Star.
Regardless, assessing the situation first and adapting accordingly will be more advantageous for the Void Heaven Ancient City!
Another place.
There was another pair of eyes watching all of this as well...
