As the Immortal Map descended, the nine imperial characters transformed into nine purple-gold divine chains, sealing off space and time, completely surrounding the Southern Demon, leaving him with no way to escape.
Under the suppression of the Wushi Secret Art, Qi Lin's clone was in dire straits. He stood amidst the purple-gold light, as the Immortal Sealing Diagram in the sky was about to descend.
At the critical moment, a monstrous demonic aura erupted, and the Southern Demon, like a demon god reincarnated and descended to earth, revealed his Heavenly Demon form, which was ten thousand feet tall, Shrouding the Heavens. Nine divine wings sprouted from his back, and his body resembled that of Qilin, making him incomparably demonic.
Two strange lights shot out from Qi Lin's deep purple eyes as he stared intently at the Immortal Sealing Dao Diagram. Vast Power of Thought surged forth like a tide, empowering his nine phoenix wings and resisting the power of time within the diagram.
"Bite!"
A dazzling Divine Flame rose out of thin air, and the wings of nine Divine Phoenix burned, shedding their domains and transforming into nine sharp and awe-inspiring crimson blades, slashing towards the Immortal Sealing Dao Diagram.
Looking at Southern Demon's true form as a celestial demon, Su Yu frowned slightly, and with a flick of her fair, jade- Ruyu hand, unleashed the Return to the Source Divine Art.
A giant purple-gold handprint spread across the sky, even larger than Qi Lin's demonic body. It was wrapped with dense Time Dao, and there was a faint sense of the flow of time, as if the River of Time had appeared in the world.
Under the effect of the Return to the Source Secret Art, Southern Demon's Heavenly Demon Dharma Body was broken. He spat out a mouthful of blood essence and flew backward. He was then bound by the Chaos Immortal Sealing Diagram. Nine purple-gold divine chains pierced through his Bitter Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Platform. He seemed to have become a prisoner, his hair disheveled and in a sorry state.
Su Yu descended from the clouds, walked in step by step, untied the Immortal Sealing Diagram, and then said calmly, "You have lost, but this is only a fragment of your spirit. Where is your true body now?"
Southern Demon struggled to his feet, looking at the composed Su Yu. A slight wavering crossed his mind. This man was too powerful. His clone possessed seventy percent of the original's strength, yet he was defeated in just two moves.
Moreover, both of these supernatural abilities are unheard-of secret techniques. The only clue lies in the strange phenomena. Legend has it that after the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body breaks through to the Lesser Completion of the Four Extremes, it can cultivate various strange phenomena. Could it be that Cao Yusheng is actually a Sacred Body that has broken through the Four Extremes...?
Defeat and confusion clouded Southern Demon's Dao heart, but he shook his head, reaffirming his beliefs.
He only lost because he was distracted; if his true body were to come, the outcome would be uncertain!
In response to Su Yu's question, Qi Lin truthfully replied, "I am about to head to the Southern Region!"
" The Southern Region?"
Su Yu murmured these two words thoughtfully. Previously, Yaoguang Li Ming had reported to him about the Southern Region, among which the most noteworthy thing was that he had found the Red Dust Dao Fruit that the Empress had cut off— Xiao Nannan.
Su Yu had some ideas about this hot potato, but the other party was cursed, and if the person who got close to her wasn't Ye Fan, they generally wouldn't have a good ending.
According to the original timeline, there was a powerful force on the Ziwei Star — the Ziwei Divine Dynasty. The previous Heavenly Mystery Master of this dynasty was nearing his death. Before passing away, he used all his Daoist power to deduce that the dynasty would surely prosper and that Divine Infant would descend from heaven to become the god lord.
Then the Ziwei Divine Dynasty obtained the Xiao Nannan and flourished for a hundred years before collapsing and being completely destroyed. It was besieged by the Great Saint of Ziwei Star, and there were also terrifying extraterrestrial forces involved, which directly broke through the divine dynasty and annihilated it.
Having learned from the experience of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, Su Yu naturally had to act cautiously. After Li Ming and Weiwei found Xiao Nannan, he specifically instructed Li Ming to find Elder Wu Qingfeng of Spirit Ruins Paradise and ask him to take care of Xiao Nannan for a period of time, while waiting for Ye Fan to come to visit.
Don't ask him why he did it; asking is simply a sign of respect for our ancestors.
Since Su Yu transmigrated here, except for the first time when he rode in a coffin convoy and entered the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, he has always avoided the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
Thousands of Black and Yellow Qi, a bundle of Source Root of Mother Qi of All Things, more than ten Sacred Fruit, nearly ten thousand catties of forbidden divine Divine Spring, and the supreme immortal scripture in the Bronze Immortal Palace...
Unbeknownst to him, he had already taken so much from Ye Fan.
Furthermore, considering the Ruthless One's later actions—such as striking a Almost-Enlightened One who was about to enter the forbidden area to pay homage—he truly lived up to his name as Ruthless One.
All of this truly filled Su Yu with awe and reverence for this ancient ancestor.
Our ancestors should be respected, and their names should not be spoken lightly!
The Xiao Nannan is similar to a cursed beast; possessing her is harmful to her master, causing at best a sharp decline in fortune, and at worst, death and annihilation. Ye Fan must remove the curse before Su Yu dares to even see her...
In the blink of an eye, Su Yu's mind was racing, completely unaware that the Southern Demon before him had shattered his heart meridian, turning into crystal-clear fragments of divine consciousness, radiating brilliance, and about to dissipate into the world.
"Clang!"
Su Yu flicked his finger, and a wisp of Chaos energy flew out, collecting the fragments of Southern Demon's divine consciousness into a jade bottle.
This is the soul power of a Immortal Platform cultivator. When combined with the Little Medicine King, it is enough to transform An Miaoyi's divine consciousness.
"You think you can just walk away without paying a price? Not so easy. Besides, you're not even my brother-in-law yet!"
Su Yu put the jade bottle into his wide sleeve, then merged with the Void and used the Great Void Technique to cross over to the Chaos Palace.
Today, the Chaos Palace also has six Domain Gate, connecting the Central Region of the Eastern Wasteland and the Southern Region the Eastern Wilderness.
However, none of these Domain Gate can span a large domain. Building a cross- Domain Gate is too difficult. Some rare divine objects require years of accumulation and require Saint to inscribe the array patterns. Therefore, they can only be divided into multiple segments.
At this moment, in the Chaos Palace, Daoist Crimson Feather Chiyu was talking with the Southern Demon in a very harmonious atmosphere.
After some pleasantries, Qi Lin got straight to the point. "Elder Crimson Feather, I wish to borrow your sect's Domain Gate for a while!"
As they spoke, the gray-haired old Daoist behind Southern Demon had already taken out a pile of Pure Source, which shone brightly and exuded a rich Life essence.
The Daoist Crimson Feather glanced at the gray-haired Dao Yi, pondered for a moment, and then agreed to the matter, leading the two towards the Domain Gate.
In the center of the vast bluestone dojo, there are two purple jade altars, covered with many divine patterns and carvings. There are also grooves in the dojo for placing Source Stone.
As soon as the Southern Demon and the Gray-Haired Daoist ascended the altar, Qi Lin's body trembled, his throat felt sweet, his gaze turned cold, and he swallowed the demon blood in his mouth, but his breathing inevitably became disordered.
The gray-haired old man frowned and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much, just encountered an interesting opponent!"
Qi Lin stood tall on the purple jade altar, his demeanor as elegant as ever. His eyes held the ephemeral beauty of countless stars, and his body was shrouded in demonic energy, earning the praise of Daoist Crimson Feather.
Among the crowd, a blond youth stared indifferently at the Southern Demon on the altar. He was the Golden-Winged Little Peng King. In the half-month-long battle of the Dao Arena, he had encountered eighteen bloody battles, winning sixteen, losing one, and drawing one.
Facing the Central Province prodigies whose cultivation levels were generally higher than his, this achievement was truly remarkable.
However, the Golden-Winged Little Peng King regarded this as a disgrace. Since his defeat at the hands of the Yaoguang Holy Son, he had been defeated again. All those bold words and ambitions he had once uttered now seemed utterly laughable...
The only match he lost was against Ning Qing, the Great Qian Prince at the Peak of Four Extremes. Moreover, Ning Qing did not use his higher cultivation level to suppress him, but fought him at the same level.
In that battle, he was trapped in the opponent's imperial aura domain, and no matter how he resisted, he could not break free.
If the Heavenly Desolate Halberd hadn't revealed a trace of the Holy Lord's might, and if the Great Qian Prince hadn't refrained from excessively humiliating him out of respect for the Old Peng King, he would have almost knelt before Ning Qing.
However, that prince of the Great Qian was later defeated by Ji Haoyue, the Divine Body of the Ji Family.
Although he had lost twice, in the eyes of the Golden-Winged Little Peng King, he was already utterly defeated.
The Old Peng King of the Central Region has submitted to the Green Lotus Imperial Dynasty and has been recognized and appointed as the Heavenly Peng King by the Lord of the Green Lotus, becoming one of the Seven Kings of the Green Lotus Imperial Dynasty.
Some time ago, his grandfather wanted him to return to the Central Region, but he refused.
That person was the only one he had ever loved in his life. Now he was left desolate, while she had risen to power and become the empress of an unparalleled dynasty.
Ning Qing, who was defeated by someone of the same level, was defeated by Ji Haoyue, and the Ji Family's Divine Body was suppressed by the Green Lotus Emperor's Daughter. How could a loser like him face her?
Seeing the crowd surrounding the Southern Demon, the Golden-Winged Little Peng King lowered his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"I want to become stronger, even if it costs me everything!"
With this thought in mind, the blond-haired youth left alone. He was going to Dao City to hone his Dao heart through battle. The path to becoming an emperor was uncertain; temporary gains and losses meant nothing. Once he suppressed all his enemies, he would wash away all humiliation. Only then would he be qualified to Central Region...
In the boundless Great Wilderness, Su Yu sensed a familiar aura. Watching the Golden-Winged Little Peng King depart alone, he shook his head slightly, flew into Green City, bypassed the Chaos Palace crowd, and stepped onto the Purple Jade Altar.
Most of the array patterns here were drawn by him, so they flowed freely without obstruction.
Su Yu transformed a pile of Pure Source into Life essence, activated the altar, opened the Domain Gate, and traversed tens of millions of miles to the Chaos Palace stronghold. He then repeated the previous operation before descending upon the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland.
Due to its friendly relations with the Yao Yaoguang Holy Land, the Chaos Palace established its base in the Southern Region in the former Jin Kingdom.
The Jin Kingdom no longer exists; only Jin City, under the rule of the Chaos Palace, is guarded by a Demon General of the Immortal Platform and three Dragon Transformation.
Su Yu left Jin City, inscribed spatial runes, and headed straight for Yan City in Kingdom of Yu.
If he wasn't mistaken, Wang Teng and Xiang Yufei were also on their way.
The Great Emperor's exclusive sacred artifact is extremely rare. According to the original timeline, none of these Big Dipper prodigies in the early and middle stages had ever obtained Immortal Gold or a divine artifact of the same level as Immortal Gold.
The Source Root of Mother Qi of All Things is far more precious than Immortal Gold, and the one who possesses this divine artifact is merely an ant from the Dao Palace Secret Realm...
" The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body? It's nothing but a useless body unable to break through the Four Extremes. My nephew Wang Teng has the potential to become Great Emperor. This time, heading south, the Black-Yellow Source Root will naturally be within his grasp, becoming the artifact for our clan's Young Emperor to prove his Dao!"
Within the Kingdom of Yu, Wang Chengfeng of the Northern Plains Wang Family family, boasted arrogantly, causing two elders from the Yaoguang Holy Land to secretly shake their heads and exchange thoughts:
"I never expected Wang Teng to run into such an uncle!"
"It's not just his uncle. Elder Cheng probably hasn't been to Northern Plains either. Everyone in the Wang Clan is like that, especially Wang Teng's father, the current head of the Wang Clan family, Wang Chengkun. He always says, 'My son Wang Teng has the potential to be Great Emperor.' Sigh, just because he has a good son, that kind of fool can become the head of a powerful family. The Wang Clan is truly lacking in talent!"
Elder Wang, please be careful with your words!
"There are only the two of us here, what can't we say! It's only because I also have the surname Wang that I'm so angry, I really want to slap this idiot to death!"
" Wang Chengkun has given birth to a son of Qilin, so naturally he wants to show off a little; that's only human nature!"
After ending the telepathic communication, Elder Wang of the Yaoguang Holy Land glanced at Wang Chengfeng. He wore a cyan-gold crown and a cyan Daoist robe, and had a warm smile on his face, appearing kind and benevolent. He flattered, "This time, the Yaoguang Holy Land only wants to rescue the Holy Son. The Black-Yellow Source Root will belong to the Wang Clan. What do you think, sir?"
"Excellent!"
Wang Chengfeng was overjoyed, never expecting the Yaoguang Holy Land to treat him with such courtesy, and began to boast about his own prodigy.
"My nephew Wang Teng is the Northern Emperor of this era. Now that he has come in person, unless his Desolate Ancient Waste Body and he escapes into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, he will not be able to escape death even if he tries to fly to the heavens or hide in the earth!"
Elder Cheng, with white hair and black robes, chuckled lightly, "I've long heard that the Wang Clan has produced a True Dragon, someone who, at such a young age, has already reached the Immortal Platform Second Heaven. It's truly enviable!"
Upon hearing the words of the two Yaoguang elders, Wang Chengfeng laughed heartily and said proudly, "More than just one True Dragon! Teng'er's younger brother, Wang Chong, also possesses unparalleled talent. Teng'er has the bearing of Great Emperor, and Chong'er has the bearing of Saint. My Wang Clan is destined for prosperity in this Lifetime!"
A hint of helplessness appeared in the eyes of the Daoist in the green robe. This is really endless. Wang Teng is only six years old, and you are praising him as a saint. You should know that there are only two saints in the cultivation world of Beidou. One is the Buddha of the Great Thunder Temple on Mount Sumeru in the Western Desert - the Victorious Fighting Buddha, and the other is that crazy old man.
A six-year-old child, with the appearance of Saint? Tell your brat to come here, and I'll crush him with a single blow right now!
Elder Wang forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart and continued his conversation with Wang Chengfeng.
If it weren't for the Holy Lord's order to cooperate with the Northern Plains Wang Family to rescue the Holy Son, he would have truly wanted to walk away!
Chapter 308 Northern Emperor Teng [Bonus chapter for the first protector of this book, Mo Bai]
Five thousand li west of Yan City lies a continuous mountain range, the highest of which is known Kingdom of Yu the people as Thunder Mountain). It is entirely blue, and whenever there is a thunderstorm, thunder and rain will rumble together, encircling the mountain and forming a blue-purple halo. The spectacle is so magnificent that even the people of Yan City can see it from afar.
Crackling sounds came from a desolate cave next to Thunder Mountain. A bonfire was burning brightly, and the red and yellow smoke illuminated the little girl's face. Beside her was a man in white clothes with black hair reaching his waist.
The sizzling lamb leg, glistening with oil under the heat of the fireworks, made the little girl swallow hard, her eyes filled with hope.
Seeing the Xiao Nannan's greedy look, Ye Fan chuckled, took out a crystal-clear white jade sword, cut off a piece of golden-yellow tender meat from the lamb leg, and handed it to the little girl.
"Big brother, eat first, Nannan not hungry!" The little girl was very well-behaved, shaking her head with a happy smile on her face.
Ye Fan patted the Xiao Nannan's head and said gently, " Nannan, eat up. There's plenty more here; it'll be enough for us."
After speaking, he cut off a piece of mutton and began to taste it.
Seeing her older brother eat first, the Xiao Nannan smiled happily. She had long eyelashes and looked very cute as she tasted the mutton in her hand with her little mouth.
In a corner of the cave, there was a Big Black Dog as strong as an ox. In the light of the campfire, the shadow of the Black Emperor looked terrifying, ruining the warm atmosphere.
Black Emperor stared intently at the Xiao Nannan, his eyes deep and unfathomable. Ever since he saw the little girl, the Big Black Dog had been lost in thought, his mind unreadable.
It wasn't until Ye Fan handed over a leg of lamb that Black Emperor snapped out of its daze. It looked at Ye Fan seriously and said, "You must keep her by your side."
