The Final Map Fragment Appears, the Mantis Stalks the Cicada
"Buzz--!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
In a private room across the way, a burst of dazzling golden light suddenly erupted, as if someone was so excited they couldn't control their breath.
Immediately afterwards, a clear, cold, and urgent female voice rang out:
Two hundred million!
Double it!
It's Jiang Liuli!
She had traversed several immortal realms in her search for this last fragment of the map, and now that she had finally found it, how could she possibly contain herself?
Three hundred million!
In another private room, a strong bidder was also making a move.
"Five hundred million! Plus a Tier 5 attack artifact!"
Jiang Liuli's voice carried an unwavering determination, "I'm going to have this! Anyone who dares to take it will be an enemy of my Giant God Heavenly Palace!"
She immediately brought out the backstage area!
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
The name of the Giant God Heavenly Palace was simply too great. The powerful figure who was originally bidding hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to continue.
The auctioneer looked at the room. "Anyone else bidding?"
Inside the private room.
"Give up."
Dongfang Yueming leaned back on the soft couch, closed his eyes, and rested.
"Sold! Congratulations, esteemed customer!"
As the auction gavel fell, Jiang Liuli finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Having obtained the incomplete map, she didn't dare linger for even a moment, and immediately left the auction house with her entourage.
She knew that money could be a powerful motivator.
Even with the name of the Giant God Heavenly Palace inscribed, there will still be desperate criminals taking the risk in a place like the Ghost Market.
"Go! Get out of the city immediately!"
Jiang Liuli transformed into a golden ray of light and burst out of the Ghost Market.
However.
She didn't notice.
In a dark corner, several black market enforcers wearing ghost masks and exuding a chilling aura were staring intently at her back.
"The prodigy of the Giant God Heavenly Palace..."
"Hehe, this is a big, fat fish."
"Moreover... the incomplete map she possesses was specifically requested by His Majesty."
"Follow them! Make sure it's clean!"
Several dark figures blended into the darkness and silently followed.
And further back than everyone else.
An elderly man, dressed in a gray robe and walking with a limp, slowly walked out of the auction house.
He watched the figures disappear into the darkness, his eyes beneath the hood gleaming with a chilling light.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
"The night view tonight... is so beautiful."
Taiyi Immortal City lies a desolate Gobi Desert, where the night wind howls, whipping up clouds of yellow sand.
"Whoosh--!"
A golden streak of light pierced the night sky at incredible speed, instantly traversing a thousand miles.
However, just as they were about to break through this Gobi Desert...
"Buzz--!"
Suddenly, the Xukong ahead distorted, and a pitch-black array of light shot into the sky, instantly sealing off the surrounding area for thousands of miles!
Jiang Liuli paused, hovering in mid-air.
On her strikingly beautiful face, there was no trace of panic, only a coldness and disgust that she had already anticipated.
"So they really did follow us?"
"A bunch of Rat hiding in the gutter, they've got a pretty good nose."
Hehehehe...
Accompanied by a sinister laugh, the Xukong rippled, and seven figures slowly emerged.
They all wore hideous ghost masks and black robes, exuding a chilling aura; they were clearly top-tier experts at the Immortal Emperor Perfection level!
This is the infamous enforcement team of the Nether Ghost Market —the [Seven Baleful Ghost Emperors]!
"Fairy Jiang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
The leading ghost king chuckled sinisterly, "Leave those two fragments of the map, and hand over your storage rings. Perhaps we can consider... letting you die with some dignity."
"With you guys?"
Jiang Liuli narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and her aura suddenly changed!
Within the originally pure, milky-white halo, a heavy, dark golden hue began to appear.
His cultivation at the [Immortal Emperor Perfection] level erupted without reservation!
"The Giant God Heavenly Palace cannot be insulted!"
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"
"Extreme Speed of Light!"
"Boom!"
The air beneath her feet exploded instantly!
She disappeared!
It wasn't spatial teleportation, but pure speed! It was so fast that it exceeded the limits of divine perception!
The next instant, she appeared before the Ghost King, who was the leader.
That fair, jade-like fist, seemingly soft and boneless, now seemed to transform into a divine hammer capable of splitting the heavens and earth, slamming down fiercely!
[Superior Rank: Law of Force (Perfection)]!
"Bang--!!!"
A dull, explosive sound!
The Ghost Emperor didn't even have time to fully unleash his protective immortal light before he exploded like a watermelon struck by a meteorite!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, bones were shattered!
Even the Primordial Spirit instantly disintegrated under the shock of that domineering and unparalleled "force"!
Instant kill!
"What?!"
The remaining six ghost kings were terrified out of their wits!
"Light-based speed... Force-based attack?!"
"This... this is the Perfection dual Higher Law?! She's a dual cultivation monster!!"
"Form ranks! Form ranks now!"
They screamed in terror, trying to join forces to resist.
However, Jiang Liuli didn't give them a chance at all.
She left trails of afterimages in the Xukong, like golden lightning dancing wildly in the night!
With every punch, a Immortal Emperor will fall!
Simple! Brutal!
There are no fancy techniques, just extreme speed and extreme power!
In just three breaths.
The seven Immortal Emperor were all transformed into a rain of blood!
"Hmph, utterly pathetic."
Jiang Liuli flicked the blood off her hands, her eyes filled with disdain.
However.
Just as she was about to turn and leave.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
A crisp round of applause came from the depths of the Xukong.
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
"As expected of a prodigy from the Giant God Heavenly Palace, the perfect combination of light and power would place him among the top even in a superior celestial dynasty."
As the voice faded, an old man dressed in a gray robe, with a withered face and eyes as deep as an abyss, stepped out of the darkness.
With each step he took, the space beneath his feet automatically collapsed, as if it could not bear his presence.
Immortal Ancestor Realm!
The guardian elder of the Nether Ghost Market — the Withered Bone Immortal Ancestor!
