"Buzz!"
The Void reversed, the universe solidified again, and from within countless Chaos energies, a fair jade hand struck out, sending the Purple Jade Divine Tower flying horizontally.
Blood trickled from the corner of Ji Haoyue's mouth. His natal divine weapon was injured, and his aura immediately weakened. However, his eyes shone with an indomitable light. This was the first battle of his life, and for the sake of the Ji Family, he absolutely could not afford to lose.
With a long roar, his divine power surged, and the extraordinary phenomenon of the Azure Sea and Bright Moon reappeared, covering the heavens and the earth.
Su Yu remained silent, urging his jade sword to unleash a streak of blood-red light that swept across the sky, its power overwhelming even the Great Power phenomena of ancient times. The Sword of Calamity was utterly powerless against his divine intervention.
"When!"
The Purple Jade Divine Tower was pierced, and with a soft "poof," a bloody hole appeared on Ji Haoyue's body, spilling divine blood. Divine Body of his generation was shed in the desolate Desolate Region.
"Oh no! Your Highness is in danger!"
In the distance, the Ji Family members all paled. They had used their divine artifact, the Dharma Eye, to observe the battle situation, and with their Divine Body bleeding in the Void, Ji Haoyue was clearly at a disadvantage.
An elderly man in a gray robe rose into the air. His white hair was disheveled, and he exuded a remarkable dragon aura, with the faint sound of a dragon's roar emanating from him.
However, he was unable to break into that area. It was blocked by two Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, and the imperial aura filled the sky, forming a special magic array that he simply could not enter.
The two sides began to fight.
"Around Six Prohibitions is acceptable!"
Su Yu sheathed his divine sword, formed a divine seal in his hand, and struck Ji Haoyue's chest with his palm. A burst of Green Lotus light sealed Ji Haoyue's Bitter Sea. Then, he leisurely paused in mid-air, gazing calmly at the scene below.
"You..."
Ji Haoyue wanted to say something more, but Su Yu pointed his finger, and a silencing rune flew out, keeping his brother-in-law silent.
The sword technique he used in this battle was not the Nameless Sword Art, but a divine art he created by combining the Nameless Sword Art with the Demon Emperor's Nine Slashes, which differed significantly from the original sword technique.
Below, a girl in purple looked anxiously at the sky. Due to the special nature of her Origin Spirit Body, she sensed her brother's predicament.
Just as the situation was in complete chaos, the Void shattered, and an old man in black robes stepped out, exuding the aura of Half-Step Great Power.
Chapter 162 The Bronze Palace
" Eighth Ancestor!"
"Ancestor, save Haoyue!"
" The Haoyue must not be lost!"
The Ji Family members seemed to have seen a savior and all flew over. Although they belonged to two different branches from the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family, they were all of one mind for Ji Haoyue's safety.
"Don't worry! Now that I'm here, Haoyue will naturally be fine!" The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family reassured everyone, then reached out and unleashed a divine power, beginning to take over the Void Divine Mirror.
Once he gains control of the Void Divine Mirror, it will be difficult for the family lineage to reclaim it. At the very least, he will have the right to use Emperor Weapon in the future.
The pitch-black Void power of the void transformed into chains of light, shooting towards the Void Ancient Mirror above the sky.
Ji Haoyue was captured, and the Emperor Weapon lost its divine power. It floated in mid-air on its own, suppressed by the Green Lotus Emperor Weapon. Countless Green Lotus roots surrounded the mirror body, enveloping this Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon.
Su Yu performed for a while, then released the Azure Emperor Weapon's weapon, allowing the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family to take out the Void Mirror.
The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family activated the Void Mirror, facing off against the Green Lotus Emperor Weapon from afar without making a move. He said in a deep voice, "Princess, this time Haoyue was reckless and was deceived by treacherous people, which is why she rashly entered the Green Lotus Territory. My Ji Family has no enmity with the Green Lotus Territory. I hope that the princess will see the truth and not damage the friendship between our two families."
Su Yu did not answer. Behind him, Ji Haoyue struggled helplessly, her face ashen.
He wasn't worried about his own safety; killing him would truly enrage the Ji Family, and the Demon Clan wouldn't be able to withstand the full force of the extreme forces' retaliation.
However, this time he suffered a crushing defeat and even had to be rescued by his elders. Moreover, his sister was down below, and he lost all face and dignity. This made the usually proud Ji Haoyue feel ashamed to the point of wanting to die, and he had no face to see the members of the Ji Family.
Ji Haoyue looked up at the goddess in the white dress, wanting to see through the veil and reveal her true face, but a misty fog descended, shrouding the goddess and making it impossible to see clearly.
Su Yu glanced at him disdainfully. This guy actually wanted to see Yu'er's true face—unforgivable! He said indifferently, " Divine Body isn't exactly a powerful physique. If you want to become the next Eastern Wasteland God King Jiang Taixu, you still have a long way to go!"
The man in purple silently withdrew his gaze; the loser could only endure everything!
"Why? Why was my extraordinary phenomenon shattered by a single sword strike? What exactly was that sword technique?"
Su Yu shook his head and did not respond.
Seeing his brother-in-law's devastated expression, he picked up Ji Haoyue and threw her towards the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family. Ji Haoyue, whose divine power was sealed, transformed into a beautiful arc in the air and rushed towards the ground.
The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family stretched out his powerful hand, grabbed the man in purple, and then flew back with the pale-faced Ji Haoyue.
Upon seeing this, Ji Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, but she found herself surrounded by the Demon Clan race.
"Grab her!"
The blonde girl coldly stared at Ji Ziyue. With her command, her Demon Clan subordinates swarmed forward, Pang Bo also rushed up, engaging in fierce combat with Ji Ziyue's protectors.
At this moment, another Half-Step Great Power appeared among the Demon Clan Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family activated the Void Mirror to confront the opponent, and was unable to pay attention to Ji Ziyue below.
Ye Fan gazed at the beautiful and captivating Ji Ziyue, the golden Bitter Sea within his body surged violently, stirred by her constitution.
The Ji Family cultivators on the perimeter surrounded her, trying to rescue Ji Ziyue. The air was filled with Five-Colored Divine Light, divine weapons flew about, and the sounds of battle echoed endlessly...
After the chaotic battle, everyone was scattered. On a hillside, Ye Fan encountered Ji Ziyue. His expression changed, and he turned to run away, but the gray-haired old servant behind Ji Ziyue reached out and grabbed him back...
Afterwards, the gray-haired old servant was besieged by the Demon Clan. Ye Fan turned the tables and summoned a Purple Jade Divine Gourd to suppress Ji Ziyue.
A hidden current flows slowly beneath the Grand Canyon.
Seeing this, Su Yu's lips twitched slightly, and he said, "They've finally arrived!"
Everything was under his control. Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue's servants were all his people and could not escape his scheme. No matter how many tricks they used, they would all fall into this trap.
Ye Fan led Ji Ziyue into the canyon, while Su Yu descended from the clouds, his body like a ghost, disappearing into the Void to follow.
At the bottom of the underground river, four or five hundred meters deep, there are broken walls and ruins, including many palace remains.
Su Yu landed on a pile of ruins, gazing at the massive bronze palace in the distance.
This bronze palace is incredibly magnificent, almost comparable to a small town. It is imposing and has not collapsed. It is relatively well-preserved, with green rust covering it. It looks ancient and grand, giving people an extremely desolate feeling.
He transformed into the appearance of a young Daoist priest, took out a futon, and sat upright in the Void. A broken bowl floated slightly above his head, with strands of Chaos light falling down.
He activated his Chaos Heavenly Eye, carefully memorizing the Xian Dao runes of the Bronze Immortal Palace.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he sensed Ye Fan's arrival.
Who goes there?
Su Yu glanced sideways, his overwhelming aura, comparable to that of Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure immortal, subdued everything. Within a divine barrier, a girl in purple held Ye Fan, hiding behind him.
As the light and mist dissipated, Su Yu's appearance appeared, and Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue said in unison:
" Daoist Cao?"
Upon seeing Cao Yusheng, Ji Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief. She had met this Source Master Cao at the Ji Family, and her great-grandfather had even gifted him a cultivation jade tablet.
She pouted her pink cheeks and glared fiercely at Ye Fan. This little thief actually tried to rob her; how despicable!
"You little thief, how do you know Heavenly Master Cao?"
"That's what I should say," Ye Fan weakly retorted. He was worried that Su Yu had some connection with the Ji Family and didn't want to put Su Yu in a difficult position, so he didn't refute the wicked woman.
A beam of golden light shot out, and Su Yu caught the two of them. Looking at Ye Fan's thirteen-year-old appearance, he chuckled, " Ye Fan, long time no see!"
Seeing the teasing look on Su Yu's face, Ye Fan couldn't hold back anymore. He had eaten the Sacred Fruit twice, and each time he had become young again.
Ji Ziyue Tingting gracefully, exuding an air of elegance. She bowed and said in a clear voice, "Greetings, Heavenly Master Cao!"
"No need for formalities!"
Su Yu nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the Bronze Immortal Palace ahead, his eyes filled with an age-old sense of vicissitude. The broken bowl above his head flew out, emitting a faint dark light, which fell onto the water and flowed towards the bronze palace.
The massive bronze palace sits silently and quietly in the water, exuding an air of desolation.
He attempted to use the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid to manipulate the Bronze Immortal Palace, but unfortunately, he failed.
The broken ancient bowl flew back. Su Yu gazed at the Bronze Immortal Palace and sighed helplessly. This was the place where the Empress underwent her third rebirth; her remains from her Lifetime could not connect to the Immortal Palace.
Ye Fan took out a jade box and respectfully presented it to Su Yu.
"Senior!"
Su Yu sensed a faint fragrance of Divine Medicine and said gently, "You're very thoughtful!"
He put the jade box into his sleeve without looking at it.
"It was originally a divine object belonging to our senior, and now it has finally been returned to its rightful owner!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
Ji Ziyue, standing to the side, sniffed the fragrance in the air and stared intently at the white jade box. If the box containing the divine object had such a medicinal fragrance, the divine object inside was simply unimaginable.
Chapter 163 I dare ask Heaven, are there immortals?
A dazzling divine light surged forth, and the Purple Jade Gourd at Ye Fan's waist flew out and landed in Su Yu's hand.
As Su Yu's delicate hand moved, countless divine runes flew out and were engraved on the Purple Jade Gourd, radiating an astonishing Daoist charm. In the deep purple light, a faint white light disappeared into Su Yu's sleeve.
After a brief purification, Su Yu handed the Purple Jade Gourd to Ye Fan.
"I think you'll have this kind of opportunity again next time. I've already engraved spatial runes on this jade gourd, so it can barely be considered a Dragon Transformation weapon. Moreover, it has the power to suppress and seal, and can capture cultivators of the Four Extremes."
Ye Fan excitedly accepted the Purple Jade Gourd, his heart surging with emotion.
Dragon Transformation Artifact!
He was only at the Divine Bridge Realm, yet he possessed a Dragon Transformation Weapon.
Ye Fan put the Ziyue Divine Gourd into the Bitter Sea, then glanced at Ji Ziyue with a hint of pride. He had actually encountered an Earth senior while in danger, and was now being bestowed with a Dragon Transformation Divine Weapon. What incredible luck!
"You despicable little thief!"
Ji Ziyue felt a pang of jealousy, gritted her teeth, and glared back at him with ill intent.
The Desolate Ancient Family is very strict with its members, honing their character and cultivation. They do not bestow overly powerful divine weapons upon their clansmen. Apart from life-saving divine objects, the best divine weapon she possesses is a Dao Palace secret artifact.
Moreover, she wasn't close to Su Yu and dared not offend this Immortal Platform cultivator.
Ji Ziyue looked around, then suddenly screamed and ran behind Su Yu.
Dozens of corpses rose from the ruins and appeared behind them. Their faces were obscured, all sealed with a layer of waxy grease, as if their bodies were encased in cocoons, making them look quite sinister.
As the Chaos mist dissipated, the bronze palace came into view. Ji Ziyue's face turned deathly pale. She exclaimed, " The Bronze Immortal Palace... How is this possible? It actually exists in this world!"
Ye Fan, unaware of what was going on, turned his gaze to the enormous bronze hall.
With Su Yu present, he didn't pay much attention to Ji Ziyue's words and wasn't afraid of the Bronze Immortal Palace. He even wanted to see the Dao patterns on the bronze palace.
