" The Twelve Yuanchen Palace?"
Chen Qingyu's expression shifted slightly, and he chuckled:
"You're overthinking it."
"I am not a disciple or descendant of the Lord of Time."
Hearing his words:
Great Emperor Hidden Shadow did not respond, but he also did not make any further moves.
In the Shadow Domain--
The Great Emperor Hidden Shadow wandered around, glancing at Chen Qingyu, who stood with his hands behind his back, a strong sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes:
"This person is not easy to deal with..."
Although this person is not Invincible Emperor Venerable overlord, his control over the Law of Time is truly astonishing!
In particular, his ability to reverse time and accelerate its passage made him hesitant to act rashly without absolute certainty.
Otherwise, every move would result in heavy losses, making it a losing proposition.
"This time, I lost tens of thousands of years of my Lifespan. If I go back and exchange for treasures to make up for it, it will be another huge expense."
"If I continue to lose Lifespan, when will I be able to accumulate one million merit points to exchange for the Gift of Eternal Life?"
At this point in my mind:
Great Emperor Hidden Shadow was even less willing to act rashly.
For him, this opportunity to defeat the Heavenly Stem Alliance was an incredible stroke of luck, one that would never come again if he missed it.
If, after the collapse of the Heavenly Stem Alliance and the distribution of rewards, he still hasn't advanced to the " Seventh Tier " and accumulated a million merits, he'll just have to watch himself die of old age.
Under these circumstances, he was unwilling to take any more action, which would shorten his own Lifespan.
" Tianchen, although he's facing the Great Emperor Blazing Sun alone, he should be able to hold out for a while."
Thoughts raced through the mind of the Great Emperor Hidden Shadow:
"Our strength in Mount Taishi far surpasses that of the Heavenly Stem Alliance."
"It won't be long before all the strongholds and fortresses of the Heavenly Stem Alliance are breached, and then our power will be firmly established."
Once a complete collapse occurs:
Even with his Heaven-reaching abilities, the Great Emperor Blazing Sun could not reverse the collapse of the heavens; at most, he could only protect a portion of the people and help them escape from Mount Taishi.
In this way, although the greatest results cannot be achieved, it can still be considered a victory, and there is no need to take any risks, so it is naturally the best choice.
With this in mind, he patiently lay low, hovering around Chen Qingyu, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Um?"
Chen Qingyu waited for a moment, but the Great Emperor Hidden Shadow did not make another move.
He raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding his thoughts, and then let out a loud laugh:
"I never imagined you were such a coward!"
"Since that's the case, I'm not going to bother arguing with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking:
He leaped into the air, instantly transforming into a golden rainbow of light, carrying an astonishing aura, and headed straight for the location of the Great Emperor Blazing Sun.
On the other side--
"Rumble..."
With the Great Emperor Blazing Sun unleashing his fury and going all out, the white phantom was left in a sorry state and struggling to stay afloat in just a short while.
"Damn piece of trash!"
In the midst of his frantic movements, the white phantom caught sight of Chen Qingyu's escaping light approaching, and was instantly filled with shock and rage:
"Is this Great Emperor Hidden Shadow just sitting around doing nothing?"
"Not only did they fail to kill him, they couldn't even stop him?!"
At that moment, he fully realized that his judgment had been wrong.
The strength of the person before him was even more astonishing than he had anticipated, to the point that even the Great Emperor Hidden Shadow was helpless and dared not stop him.
He was already struggling to deal with the Great Emperor Blazing Sun; if another such formidable figure were to appear, he would likely be defeated in an instant.
" The Great Emperor Hidden Shadow!"
The white phantom roared angrily:
"What are you doing? Stop him right now!"
The Great Emperor Hidden Shadow, who was still hesitating, immediately made up his mind upon seeing this and responded:
"This person's methods are bizarre and can shorten my Lifespan; I can't stop him!"
"Go ahead and try to stop me, I'll deal with Great Emperor Blazing Sun!"
"What?"
The white phantom was taken aback, its expression changing rapidly, and it immediately began to have second thoughts.
This method, which can shorten a person's Lifespan, is truly terrifying!
He shared the same concern as Great Emperor Hidden Shadow: if he lost too much of his Lifespan, even if he won the battle and gained a lot of merit, it would not be enough to make up for the loss!
"Hahaha..."
Great Emperor Blazing Sun was overjoyed and immediately burst into laughter, full of vigor and high spirits.
"Good brother! Your skills are truly amazing!"
"Your end is nigh!"
The white phantom's face turned ugly, and it suddenly gritted its teeth and said:
"Retreat! Retreat!!"
As soon as he finished speaking:
His figure flashed rapidly, transforming into a series of white mists, and in an instant, he vanished millions of miles away.
The Great Emperor Hidden Shadow, being within the Shadow Domain, escaped even faster than him.
Their departure:
The Invincible Emperor Venerable in Hemp-Robed Ancestor could only curse a few times before retreating.
"Boom!" "Boom!"...
With the three main generals retreating, the numerous powerful Emperor Venerable Limit experts below scattered and retreated to the other side of Mount Taishi.
The Emperor Venerable of the Earthly Branch Alliance soared, and they were ready to press their advantage and relentlessly attack.
"Alright!"
The Hemp-Robed Ancestor flew over, waved his hand, and stopped their pursuit:
"Don't pursue a cornered enemy!"
"We've already won this battle. If we push too hard, we might fall into their trap."
He paused for a moment, then gave the order:
"You may set out immediately and proceed to all the strongholds and fortresses, and make sure to repel the invading enemy!"
"Yes!"
The numerous powerful beings at the Emperor Venerable Limit, their morale soaring, responded in unison and then scattered in all directions, riding their escape lights.
"Greetings, Great Emperor Blazing Sun!"
On the other side, Chen Qingyu had already put away his escape light and bowed to Great Emperor Blazing Sun.
"Hahaha... Good brother, no need to be so polite! We can just call each other brothers!"
Great Emperor Blazing Sun beamed with joy, patted his shoulder heavily, and said gratefully:
"Brother, you deserve immense credit for this; you turned the tide!"
"Without you, we would have lost this time. Even I and Brother Hemp Robe might not have escaped with our lives."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu smiled slightly:
"Brother Yanyang, you flatter me."
That's no exaggeration.
The Hemp-Robed Ancestor also flew over and interjected:
"In this battle, we fell into a trap, are at a complete disadvantage, and are powerless to turn the tide."
"If it weren't for your appearance, we could say there would have been absolutely no hope. You deserve the greatest credit for turning the tide!"
He paused for a moment, then said solemnly:
"I will report the situation of the Battle of Mount Taishi to the Heavenly Stems Council."
" The Heavenly Stems Council will certainly reward you handsomely; I'm certain of that."
"Good."
Great Emperor Blazing Sun smiled and nodded in agreement, then suddenly changed the subject:
"Brother, your strength is truly astonishing. To be able to fight against an Invincible Emperor Venerable and still hold your own, retreating unscathed."
"With such strength and such great achievements... he is already qualified to join the Heavenly Stems Council."
He looked at Chen Qingyu and said seriously:
"If that's your intention, Brother Hemp Robe and I can act as your introducers."
"Once the council approves, you will immediately become a member of the Heavenly Stems Council, and can command any Emperor Venerable within the alliance and below the council."
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
