They had long since attained sainthood, and few were afraid of death, but how could they accept the thought of their entire race being annihilated?
But should they try to stop the Lord of the Deep? Even if they all went, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from Lord of the Deep.
The opponent possesses imperial and immortal artifacts, and their background is terrifying; even Quasi-Emperor are wary of them.
At the head of the table, Prince Tian Zhou listened to the weeping in the hall, his heart filled with bitterness. He rose to his feet, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's all over. I'm going to sue for peace. If things don't go well, I'll die on the way! After I'm gone, Jin Yao will be the leader of the clan."
Begging for mercy at this moment may be shameful, but temporary shame is better than the destruction of the tribe and the loss of hope!
As long as descendants survive, there is a glimmer of hope.
The killings in West Kunlun were not numerous, a fact that has been rumored throughout the universe.
Your Highness!
"Waaah! This old servant is willing to die with the Emperor!"
Seeing the Crown Prince willing to die, the other ancient Golden Crow were even more sorrowful. The Great Saint Jin Yao even knelt down, wanting to go in the Crown Prince's place.
"You are too weak, your life force is depleted, the Lord of the Deep will not see you! But I am different..."
Tian Zhou chuckled mockingly and said, "They come from the Mountain and Sea Realm, Da Yi is their ancestor. Da Yi was killed by my father, and those people are quite interested in me, the culprit."
"Your Highness, you mustn't! Going there will only lead to humiliation. It would be better to hold our ground; perhaps the Great Emperor will return soon!"
The Great Saint Jin Yao wept, a sense of sorrow welling up in his heart.
For thousands of years, the Golden Crow Clan has roamed the starry sky, fearless even against the most powerful forces, and is one of the strongest races in the universe. Now, however, they face the crisis of their annihilation, which is truly hard to accept.
Just as everyone was speaking, a terrifying wave erupted, with a continuous rumbling sound mixed with the mournful cry of a Golden Crow, causing the ancient Golden Crow in the hall to feel a deep sense of sorrow.
"It's over... The Quasi-Emperor Formation Diagram has been broken, everything is over!"
Tian Zhou seemed to have lost all his strength, sitting on the golden throne like a puppet.
"Your Highness, run! We will fight to the death to carve a path for your survival!"
The Great Saint Jin Yao gritted his teeth, took out his Dao Weapon, and led several Sages out. The other dozens of Ancient Golden Crow, with resolute expressions, began to lead Prince Tian Zhou to relocate.
On their escape route, cries of agony and weeping filled the air. From the summit of Qing Ming came a series of impacts, and a flash of light revealed a Golden Crow with broken wings, locked in combat with a woman wielding a sword.
Those are broken Quasi-Emperor array patterns!
"How could this be? How could it have come to this?"
Prince Tian Zhou tilted his head back, closed his eyes, tears welling in his eyes, and swam away into the distance.
You only have one chance to have the courage to die!
Now that there's a glimmer of hope, he doesn't want to perish!
" Lord of the Deep, please stop! As long as you are willing to spare my clan's life, we can discuss any conditions!" In the sky, the Great Saint Jin Yao, accompanied by several other sages, teleported and rushed into the magnificent killing formation, quickly closing in.
"Rumble..."
Endless Chaos mists filled the air, and a wisp of celestial light descended, carrying an ethereal divine charm, fixing these ancient Golden Crow in place and beginning to shower them with light rain.
A few dozen breaths later, the Great Saint Jin Yao's eyes became empty, revealing a cold glint. He led his subordinates back to pursue and kill Tian Zhou.
Deep within the realm, the Lord of the Deep cascading black hair and eyes like stars; his sword-wielding posture was captivating, even more ethereal than a white lotus.
In the Chaos Sea, the Taiyang Divine Bird sang a long song, its body surrounded by true flames and a hazy crimson glow. It possessed an aura that suppressed the past, present, and future—an aura belonging to Quasi-Emperor.
Suddenly, a sword light swept across the sky, its celestial radiance surging, like a galaxy returning to its former glory, sparkling and dazzling, containing Xian Dao runes, sharp as a calamity from the Heavens.
Blinding dark red light continuously shot up from the body of the Golden Crow Divine Bird, shattering the sky and creating numerous black holes in the sky. One after another, vast and boundless Void abysses appeared, enough to bury the Great Saint.
All of this was merely the aftermath of a war of gods!
A single glance, traversing the ages!
His divine soul broke through the barrier, and the Daoist thoughts of his Saint Spirit Avatar underwent a transformation, allowing him to completely master this immortal body and even touch upon deeper levels of the power of laws.
A sword swept across the sky, the Golden Crow Divine Bird exploded, countless Taiyang Divine Flame were dispersed, revealing the true form of the runes, which were then shredded by the Immortal Sword and turned into dust.
" Fire Mulberry Festival concludes today!"
Dao Yan's battle armor fluttered, Lord of the Deep Underworld was transcendent and awe-inspiring. His body was surrounded by Chaos light, and his aura surpassed all the heavens, even making the Azure Qing Ming pale in comparison. With each breath, countless array patterns on this ancient star exploded and turned into dust.
On the Fire Mulberry Star, all the Golden Crow prostrated themselves, kneeling in humiliation on the ground, bowing and worshipping their enemies in the Nine Heavens.
Beyond the realm, the Great Saint of various races watching the battle were also shaken. This was the family of Quasi-Emperor of the present day, yet today they were truly facing the crisis of annihilation.
"It's lamentable that thousands of years ago, the Golden Crow Quasi-Emperor was so powerful that he was just one step away from attaining enlightenment. In the end, he was just one step short. Now, our race is in calamity, and everything will be in vain!" A Demon Clan Great Saint said with emotion.
"Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. The Lord of the Pure Lotus is of a tranquil nature and will certainly not engage in mass killing. War is an omen of misfortune, and now that the Road to Immortality is about to open, harmony among all things is of utmost importance. I believe the Lord of the Deep will understand this principle!"
Great Saint Hun Tuo stepped forward, his face full of compassion, and looked at Fire Mulberry Star.
Immediately, the Prince of Tian Zhou, who had just escaped from the sea of stars, cried out in a pitiful voice as he was pulled back by a large blue-gold hand. The crystal-clear and sacred blood of the Golden Crow flowed into the Void, spreading out wisps of mythology, which looked extremely beautiful.
Everyone fell silent, then all looked at Hun Tuo, feeling incredibly uncomfortable.
This ancient being has been the subject of many rumors over the years. He once tried to mediate a fight in the Ancient Domain, after which the Nine Phoenix King activated his imperial weapon and cleaved the Great Saint Jin Peng into dust.
In the land where the Dao Ancestor suppressed demons, an evil god from beyond the realm and the Daoist Qinghuang fought a bloody battle. It was this same person who tried to mediate, and then persuaded four Great Saint to their deaths.
Once could be considered a coincidence, but two or three times is not.
Without him, there would be no tragedy; with him, problems would arise. In any case, his reputation as a jinx is still very strong, making him someone to be feared.
"I believe Tian Zhou Tianzhou will be alright!"
Despite the gazes of the others, the Great Saint Hun Tuo maintained a compassionate expression, though a hint of unease flickered in his eyes. He seemed intent on entering the Fire Mulberry Star Domain to mediate the conflict, a sight that sent chills down the spines of the others...
Inside the Fire Mulberry Heavenly Palace, a tall, slender figure wielded a battle sword, directly leveling the ancestral cave of the Golden Crow Clan.
She took a step forward and walked to the deepest part, only to find a few Quasi-Emperor divine feathers and a broken golden bell.
This bell is also the core of the Quasi-Emperor Formation Diagram, and is the true form of the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
"Didn't any ancient artifacts remain intact after the heavenly calamity?"
Suddenly, ripples spread through the space, bursting forth with unparalleled light. A Chaos Great Dao descended, swirling with Xuanhuang Qi and adorned with fiery flames, appearing utterly ethereal.
A figure appeared, with captivating eyes, dressed in ancient imperial robes adorned with depictions of the Sun-Moon, stars, flowers, birds, fish, and insects. The figure appeared ethereal, seemingly not belonging to this realm.
Su Yu reached out and grabbed the broken Quasi-Emperor Golden Bell.
The ancient artifact was incredibly heavy, heavier than a star. Its weight alone could kill a saint. It was forged entirely from Quasi-Emperor divine gold and contained a great deal of material.
" Old Golden Crow was quite a figure, but unfortunately, his fate was unkind!"
Su Yu shook his head, took the Immortal Sword from the Saint Spirit clone, and activated his divine power, with three strands of Immortal Qi intertwining and rising upwards.
In an instant, celestial light burst forth, ringing out with a clear and resounding sound. Divine radiance shone brilliantly, and the dark red Feng Huang feathers flowed, dimming the sun Sun-Moon, and stars.
This power was awe-inspiring, shaking heaven and earth, and directly enveloping the ancient star. Tens of thousands of Golden Crow prostrated themselves, their faces filled with fear. Meteors in the star sea exploded and turned into dust, and the countless stars in the distance seemed about to fall, as if the world was about to end.
"Boom!"
Under the attack of the celestial artifact, the already damaged Golden Crow Bell emitted a loud bang, and all the flame runes on it lit up. Then, they were gradually worn away by the pressure of the Xian Dao power and exploded into countless golden raindrops.
With a flick of his finger, Su Yu caused all the fragments of divine metal to merge together, re-condense, and outline a golden-feathered firebird fan.
Seven Quasi-Emperor divine feathers were also used in this process.
Finally, the Golden Feather Firebird Fan was completed, possessing supreme power and yang energy, surrounded by Taichu Chaos light, with the Quasi-Emperor feathers above shining brightly, even more dazzling than divine metal.
"My daughter is about to be born, this little toy would be perfect for her!" Su Yu glanced at the fan, then put it away.
Divine Silkworm Princess has not yet given birth. The little Life, combining his Chaotic Blood and the royal blood of the Divine Silkworm Clan, is still developing, but its due date is approaching.
Su Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and a wisp of divine thought stirred the heavens, teleporting the outside Tian Zhou to his side. He said calmly, "Did your father leave any message?"
Faced with this peerless being shrouded in Chaos light, the blood-stained Prince Tian Zhou trembled slightly, gave a bitter smile, and remained silent, as if he had lost the emotions of an ordinary person.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Su Yu smiled faintly, not paying much attention.
He plucked a feather left behind by the Old Golden Crow, then pointed it out with a finger, his fingertip swirling with a hazy light—the evolution of the laws of time.
A brilliant white halo rotated, and a pure white tortoise shell emerged.
This is a rare treasure that Xiao Song found ten years ago when he traveled to the Divine Domain. It is of extremely high status and is the remains of a high-ranking Quasi-Emperor of the Black Tortoise Clan. It possesses mysterious power.
At this moment, milky white light flowed and merged with Chaos energy, and one rune after another lit up on the tortoise shell, transforming into mysterious runes that were arranged here.
Su Yu and his Saint Spirit clone activated the Nine Secrets: Qian" together, their spirits connected. At this moment, they were in harmony with the Dao Heart of Heaven and Earth, and a wave of light appeared before their eyes, as if they were seeing a glimpse of a blurry future.
An aura of the future is spreading. Chains of Chaos laws intertwine, like flowers in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water, shrouding everything in a hazy mist.
As the gray mist flowed, the white tortoise shell became incredibly translucent, crystal clear and beautiful, like an ancient mirror adorned with intricate runes, seemingly reflecting the past, present, and future, radiating a unique ripple effect.
The body unites with all paths; this is the interpretation of the principle of cause and effect!
"Tracing back to the source!"
Su Yu whispered, and an inexplicable aura drew towards Tian Zhou, taking a drop of his heart's blood and smearing it on the surface of the Xuan Turtle Mirror.
The latter's face turned pale as he watched helplessly as the other party trampled on the sacred ground of the Golden Crow Clan.
The Dao patterns contained within the Golden Crow Blood were all drawn here, and then the white mirror rippled with a strange wave, flying towards the boundless universe and pointing towards the infinite distance.
The cold universe, boundless and dark, lies an infinitely distant star field from the Fire Mulberry Star. The causal threads break here, and all contact is lost.
Su Yu's expression was somewhat strange. He was very familiar with that place; it was the Divine Domain, the Heavenly Venerable Life Spring...
After thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason.
In this vast world, there aren't many places truly suitable for recuperation. The Big Dipper does have quite a few Grotto-Heaven, but the Old Golden Crow was forced to destroy his own Immortal Platform and abandon his Lifetime by the Forbidden Zone Supreme. How could he dare to go to the Big Dipper?
In other regions, very few places can satisfy the Quasi-Emperor.
The Divine Domain has just emerged and has been occupied by Su Yu's Saint Spirit clone, Perfect World creating a situation where the truth is hidden. It must be said that the opponent is indeed very experienced.
"What a pity you ran into me. Saying you have bad luck is really true!" Su Yu raised an eyebrow and revealed a playful smile.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor's original timeline was already tragic, but with him in this Lifetime, it seems even more tragic...
Having made up his mind, Su Yu looked at the wooden-faced Tenth Golden Crow Prince and said, "Go to West Kunlun and from now on serve as the Sun-Patrolling True Lord there!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeve, gathered the essence of the flames, took out a crimson gold divine token and gave it to the other party. Then he opened the Void with his palm and drifted away, leaving Prince Tian Zhou looking astonished.
He... seems to be spared from dying...
" Lord of the Deep, what does Lord Chaos mean?" Tian Zhou asked, holding the Crimson Sun Golden Token, his heart filled with unease.
The Green Gold Saint Spirit, with an indifferent expression, also vanished into the world.
