Emperors Gather, Courting Death
Azure Realm, outside the Void Rift Valley.
A streak of emerald light, moving at a frenzied speed that seemed to burn its very essence, was tearing through the spatial barriers and hurtling toward the ruins of the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Manor.
Within the flowing light was an old man dressed in a turquoise python robe with a sinister face.
The ruler of the Canglan Immortal Dynasty— the Immortal Emperor Canglan!
Peak of the Middle-Stage Immortal Emperor!
"Faster! Faster!"
The Immortal Emperor Canglan was extremely anxious at this moment.
He had only just learned of the news about the "manifestation of the Immortal Venerable Myriad Phenomena" and the "direct access to the Immortal Emperor's scriptures," but he reacted immediately.
"Damn it! Ziwei and those two Great Yan foxes, Dayan, are so close, they must have already made their move!"
"That's a seventh-tier immortal artifact! It's sixth-tier divine iron! And it even contains... Immortal Emperor scriptures!"
The thought that these treasures, enough to drive the entire middle-level immortal dynasty mad, might have already fallen into the hands of a neighboring country made the Immortal Emperor Canglan's heart bleed.
"No matter what, we must get a share!"
Even if it means snatching food from a tiger's mouth, I, the Emperor, will still take a bite!
With this determination, he finally broke through the last spatial barrier and descended above the Void Rift Valley!
"Boom--!"
The Immortal Emperor's oppressive aura descended, stirring up the winds and clouds.
The Immortal Emperor Canglan's gaze swept eagerly across the entire scene, but the sight before him stunned him.
In the Xukong, Zi Wuji, the ruler of the Ziwei Kingdom, and Yan Nantian, the ruler of the Great Yan Kingdom, stood side by side.
Strangely, these two usually imposing immortal Immortal Emperor showed neither the elation of obtaining a great treasure nor the disheveled state of fighting.
On the contrary, their expressions... were somewhat blank, or even... trembling?
They were like two schoolchildren who had done something wrong, standing obediently to the side, facing the collapsed ruins, neither daring to approach nor leave.
"Brother Zi? Brother Yan?"
A thought struck the Immortal Emperor Canglan, and with a flicker of his body, he landed beside the two.
"Hahaha! It seems I've arrived just in time!"
He tentatively laughed loudly, "The two of you haven't succeeded yet? Could it be... that you're waiting for me to break the restriction together?"
In his view, the two must have been stopped by some powerful final means of the ruins, or perhaps they were wary of each other and dared not make the first move.
However.
Upon hearing his voice, Zi Wuji and Yan Nantian trembled violently as if their tails had been stepped on.
They turned their heads and looked at the Immortal Emperor Canglan with an extremely strange gaze, as if they were looking at a "dead man".
"Canglan... you're here to join in the fun too?"
Zi Wuji's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Of course!" the Immortal Emperor Canglan declared proudly, "The most precious treasures belong to those with virtue! Since the treasures are still here, I, the Emperor, naturally have a share!"
"You two seem a bit hesitant. How about this: the three of us join forces, capture that kid who received the inheritance, and split the treasure equally? What do you say?"
He had learned through intelligence that the one who took the inheritance was a junior named "Dongfang Yueming".
"Join forces? Split the profits equally?"
Yan Nantian's lips twitched, and a deep fear flashed in his eyes.
He had personally witnessed how that young man in blue effortlessly unleashed Perfection Higher Law of Fire, burning everything in its path!
and...
"Brother Canglan, for the sake of our many years as neighbors, I have a word of advice for you."
Yan Nantian took a deep breath and pointed to the ruins.
"Some things are not for you to touch."
"Let's hurry, before... that person comes out."
"Walk?!"
The Immortal Emperor Canglan seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and his face instantly darkened.
"Yan Nantian, if you want to take it all for yourself, just say so! Why try to scare me with these kinds of words?"
"That one? Hmph! Isn't he just some lucky ascendant from the Lower Realm? I heard he's only at the Immortal Lord Realm?"
"A mere Immortal Lord, even wielding Immortal Immortal Artifact, is nothing but an ant before me!"
"You may be afraid of him, but I am not!"
He was convinced that the two old foxes were putting on an act, trying to scare him away.
"Since you won't make a move, then don't blame me for taking all the spoils!"
Greed surged in the eyes of the Immortal Emperor Canglan, and his body was enveloped in emerald green immortal power as he charged into the depths of the ruins!
Zi Wuji and Yan Nantian exchanged a glance, shook their heads helplessly, and retreated several thousand feet at the same time, completely widening the distance between them.
The meaning was clear: If you're looking for death, don't get our blood on you.
Just then!
"Buzz--!"
In the center of the ruins, a ripple of Xukong slowly spread out.
The Immortal Emperor Canglan paused, his eyes flashing with a sharp light!
"They're out!"
A dashing figure in a green robe stepped out from the void.
His hair fluttered gently, his face was handsome, and there was no trace of madness emanating from him. Instead, he exuded a kind of tranquility that returned to simplicity.
The Dongfang Yueming!
As soon as he appeared, his gaze swept indifferently over the three Immortal Emperor present.
When Zi Wuji and Yan Nantian met that gaze, their bodies tensed instantly, and they immediately bowed and saluted, their attitude extremely humble.
"Greetings... Greetings, Dongfang Master Dongfang!"
This scene once again stunned the Immortal Emperor Canglan.
[These two... have they been cursed? A Celestial Immortal Emperor bowing to a mere Immortal Lord?]
But his attention was quickly drawn to the storage ring on Dongfang Yueming's waist.
He could even vaguely sense the fluctuations in the faintly visible armor emanating from the other party—
[Seventh-Tier Immortal Artifact: Myriad Phenomena Immortal Armor]!
"Seventh tier... it really is a seventh tier immortal artifact!"
The Immortal Emperor Canglan's breathing instantly became extremely heavy, and the greed in his eyes instantly overwhelmed all reason!
"Kid!"
With a single step, the terrifying pressure of Middle-Stage Immortal Emperor poured down towards the Dongfang Yueming like a vast, emerald ocean!
"Hand over the inheritance! Hand over the immortal armor!"
"I, the Emperor... will spare your life!"
Faced with this sudden reprimand, Dongfang Yueming merely raised an eyebrow slightly.
He looked at the reckless old man in front of him, then glanced at Zi Wuji and the other man hiding in the distance, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"Spare my life?"
"You?"
