"If there's anyone still foolish enough to try and make a move, don't blame me for taking action!"
Xu Changhao said without any politeness, his expression full of disdain.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the thirty-six Great Emperor all turned grim. They were incredibly powerful, holding positions second only to one ruler in any race or world. When had anyone ever dared to speak to them like this?
"Hmph, that's laughable. Just the nine of you?"
The powerful Great Emperor of the Heavenly Punishment Race sneered, and then prepared to raise his hand to attack.
In just a moment, the body of the Heavenly Punishment Race's Great Emperor was already wrapped in purple lightning, and countless bolts of lightning crackled around him in the dark night.
The void around him could no longer withstand the pressure and began to crack on a small scale.
"Hey, you from the Heavenly Punishment Race, if you're not happy, go ahead and make your move. We'll see if the nine of us can do anything to you." Xu Changhao grinned wickedly, revealing his yellowed front teeth, looking utterly lewd.
"If you're going to make a move, then make a move. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" The Great Emperor of the Heavenly Punishment Race roared in anger and attacked Xu Changhao without hesitation.
"Boom!"
With a single palm strike, hundreds of Dragon of Lightning instantly appeared in the vast starry sky. Wherever they passed, Xingchen shattered and trembled. The terrifying Thunder Dragon roamed behind the patriarch of the Heavenly Punishment Race, and in an instant, his aura underwent a complete transformation.
Seeing that someone had finally made a move, Xu Changhao's smile didn't diminish in the slightest; he still had a grinning expression and threw a punch.
" Ruyi Wind-Moving Fist!"
A terrifying amount of spiritual energy gathered on Xu Changhao's fist, but it only solidified for a moment before Xu Changhao casually struck it out.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
The Heavenly Punishment Race's Great Emperor's fist was like thunder, and when it swung over, it seemed to carry the roar of Thunder Dragon, rushing towards Xu Changhong with overwhelming force.
Xu Changhao didn't take it seriously. He shouted and kept punching, each punch shattering a Dragon of Lightning. The remaining spiritual energy left a terrifying mark in the sky!
"Step, step, step..."
Xu Changhong attacked as he advanced, and in just a few breaths, he had already reached the Heavenly Punishment Race's Great Emperor.
"You're courting death!" The Heavenly Punishment Race's Great Emperor's eyes widened, his expression ferocious, showing no intention of backing down, and he raised his hand to strike.
"Bang!"
The two fists collided in mid-air, compressing terrifying spiritual energy to its extreme, causing an explosion within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
It took a full incense stick's time for Xu Changhao and the Heavenly Punishment Race Great Emperor to retreat together. Judging from their expressions, neither of them had the upper hand, and they were evenly matched.
However, Xu Changhao's forces were only at the Half-Step Great Emperor, and his cultivation was even a level lower than that of the Great Emperor of the Heavenly Punishment Race. Such a record was already enough to attract the attention of others.
Moreover, Short Sky Island is not just Xu Changhao; there are eight elders besides him!
The thirty-six Great Emperor present are not stupid, so they naturally do not think that Xu Changhao is the strongest among the nine elders. You should know that even among the eight elders, Xu Changhao only stands on the side.
Clearly, among the nine elders of Short Sky Island, there are even more terrifying beings, and the attack just now was merely an appetizer for them.
The other cultivators watching the battle were all shocked. After just a few rounds, they could understand that although the nine elders in front of them were only Half-Step Great Emperor, their strength was in no way inferior to that of Great Emperor when they really fought!
"These nine elders are not to be trifled with!" This was the thought in the minds of all the Great Emperor.
Upon realizing this, the gazes of the thirty-six Great Emperor couldn't help but fall upon the white-haired elder standing in the very center.
Of the nine elders, he was the only one with all four limbs intact. Back then, he could easily kill Great Emperor of Mortal Star Domain with a single sword strike. What had become of him now?
"I refuse to believe that I can't even defeat a mere quasi -Quasi-Emperor like you!"
As the beliefs of the Great Emperor shifted rapidly, the Great Emperor of the Heavenly Punishment Race unexpectedly circled back to Xu Changhao's side.
Clearly, to be on par with a Quasi-Emperor cultivator in front of so many people was a disgrace to his life, and the Great Emperor of the Heavenly Punishment Race would never let it go so easily.
"Again!" The Great Emperor of the Heavenly Punishment Race roared and charged towards Xu Changhao.
Xu Changhao advanced instead of retreating, laughing loudly, "Perfect! Let's have a good fight!"
Having said that, he rushed forward as well.
"Boom!"
Two figures intertwined in mid-air, countless lights flashing wildly, almost illuminating the entire dark night sky.
The light and shadow of Thunder Dragon and Xu Changhao's terrifying fist converged in mid-air, igniting a series of explosions.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
As the light faded, the Great Emperor of the Heavenly Punishment Race looked extremely ugly. He, a genuine Great Emperor, had actually managed to fight to a draw with Xu Changhao, a Quasi-Emperor!
If this gets back to him, he'll be utterly humiliated.
Thinking of this, the Great Emperor of the Heavenly Punishment Race looked at the surrounding cultivators. Feeling the Great Emperor's gaze sweep over them, the cultivators shrank back into their sight like quails.
The Great Emperor of the Heavenly Punishment Race realized that there was no need for the matter to be reported back. He already had no face left in front of those cultivators, and he had to do everything he could to salvage his image!
The Heavenly Punishment Great Emperor gritted his teeth and took a step towards the starry sky. Countless purple lightning bolts flickered around his body, and vast spiritual power surged out from the center of his body.
" Thunder of Heavenly Punishment!"
As the Heavenly Punishment Great Emperor's voice faded, thousands of purple lightning bolts gathered in the starry sky, buzzing and humming. In an instant, the entire sky above the inheritance land was covered by purple lightning.
"Buzz..."
The power of the lightning spread out, and thousands of bolts crackled and popped in mid-air.
"Boom..."
The terrifying spiritual power could no longer be suppressed. At this moment, even Mortal Star Domain who had not sensed the place of inheritance could easily feel the war fluctuations occurring here.
Any power or race with the means would almost immediately use their secret treasures to try and find out information about the place of inheritance.
"Fall!"
The Heavenly Punishment Great Emperor gently pressed down in the direction of Xu Changhao, and the sea of lightning covering half the world surged forth towards Xu Changhao.
Such terrifying power was palpable; even just witnessing the scene was enough to clearly sense the vastness of the battle. Countless beings in the Mortal Star Domain held their breath at that moment.
In their view, Xu Changhao, with his Quasi-Emperor cultivation, was no match for this kind of attack!
