Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

"I am Emperor Lin of the Sea Emperor City, here to thank you for helping me avenge myself!"

"Revenge?"

While maintaining an air of mystery, Yi Xuan's face showed a hint of doubt.

That slight doubt quickly turned into understanding.

Yi Xuan shook his head and waved to Emperor Lin.

"I see, it's a minor matter! But I never expected that the current Sea Clan Emperor would be at such a level, able to make a Human Clan isn't even at the Foundation Establishment Realm look so pathetic. It truly broadens my horizons!"

The sarcasm in Yi Xuan's words was so obvious that the Emperor Lin's face immediately turned awkward, and he stammered, unsure of how to explain.

Although I wanted to refute it, what this senior, who called himself the Emperor Fu, said was indeed reasonable.

Even Emperor Qing, who was standing to the side, didn't know how to defend Emperor Lin for a moment.

Yi Xuan also realized that the situation was somewhat awkward.

To calm the two down, he quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Alas, after carefully examining that Human Clan brat's methods, it is indeed bizarre. As the Sea Emperor who had not yet undergone the Heavenly Burial, it's understandable that you couldn't defeat him!"

Emperor Lin's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

From the other party's words, it is not difficult to see that the Emperor Fu in front of us seems to have some understanding of the Human Clan's attack.

In that case, the other party might be able to resolve the strange energy within Emperor Lin's body.

Thinking of this, Emperor Lin bowed deeply to Yi Xuan, looking at Yi Xuan expectantly.

"Your Emperor Fu, from what you're saying, you seem to be aware of that Human Clan boy's strange attack. Could you perhaps enlighten me?"

Yi Xuan looked at the obsequious Emperor Lin across from him and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

However, he dared not show any expression on his face and could only force himself to appear serious.

Meanwhile, he stared at Emperor Lin for a long time before finally shaking his head with a regretful expression.

It's just like a doctor giving an ultimatum to a terminally ill patient.

Seeing Emperor Fu's expression, Emperor Lin was startled and quickly asked, "What's wrong, senior? Is there something wrong with me?"

Faced with Emperor Lin's question, Yi Xuan's expression of regret deepened. "Alas, it's too late. You've delayed for too long. Even I, the Emperor, am now helpless with your condition!"

How could that be?

Before Emperor Lin could react, Emperor Qing looked at Yi Xuan with disbelief.

He also checked on Emperor Lin's physical condition before the Heavenly Burial.

As Emperor Lin said, there was indeed a peculiar energy within his body, an energy that even the Emperor Qing, who had experienced numerous Heavenly Burial, had never seen before.

Moreover, although the energy was not fatal to the Sea Clan emperor in terms of intensity, it was like a persistent, intractable disease that was very difficult to remove.

Even Bandit Cultivator had to use a large amount of True Essence to suppress that energy in order to prevent it from corroding their bodies.

In addition, Emperor Qing has also made attempts.

But as soon as his True Essence entered the Emperor Lin's body, the energy acted as if it were a wolf seeing a flock of sheep, and began to frantically erode the Emperor Qing's True Essence.

If Emperor Qing hadn't severed his connection with that True Essence in time, that strange energy might have directly returned to his body along with the True Essence.

However, at the time, Emperor Qing only felt that this energy was rather troublesome, but he never thought that this energy would be so troublesome that even the current Emperor Fu could not solve it.

However, at the same time, Emperor Qing's gaze toward Yi Xuan became somewhat puzzled.

Although Emperor Qing didn't consider himself the most powerful being in the entire Cultivation Realm, he was still a powerful Sea Clan who had experienced multiple Heavenly Burial, and his knowledge far surpassed that of 99% of the cultivators in the world.

He couldn't understand why this strange emperor who called himself the Emperor Fu knew about the bizarre energy within his junior brother, something he himself had never heard of before.

Is it really true that there are always people more capable than you, and that there's always something beyond your understanding?

Although he tried to comfort himself with these thoughts, he couldn't suppress his suspicions at all, and his eyes began to unconsciously scan Yi Xuan and the other two.

Yi Xuan instantly sensed the Divine Sense probing from the Emperor Qing and inwardly knew something was wrong.

Upon probing with his Divine Sense, the Emperor Qing was greatly alarmed.

Although nothing was found on Yi Xuan, Mu Anqing and Fu Qianqiu behind him were clearly acting strangely.

Even without the support of a true Power Amplifier Tower, Yi Xuan's Divine Sense still had a small Power Amplifier Tower forged by the Spirit Refining Instruction within his Sea of Consciousness.

Therefore, Yi Xuan's Divine Sense far Tribulation Transcendence Peak cultivator, Emperor Qing was unable to determine his situation for the time being.

However, Mu Anqing and Fu Qianqiu were genuine Human Clan cultivators.

Under the Emperor Qing's Divine Sense, the two's strengths were instantly revealed.

Even if Yi Xuan was indeed the one to Heavenly Burial by the Sea Emperor, the fact that he was with two Human Clan who were not Heavenly Burial at this time is enough to explain the problem.

This Emperor Qing is indeed a seasoned veteran. Although Yi Xuan sensed his Divine Sense, the other party's expression did not change at all.

On the contrary, Emperor Lin's expression was becoming increasingly unpleasant.

It was obvious that the two were communicating telepathically.

Since things had already come to this, Yi Xuan felt there was no need to continue pretending.

If you wait for the other party to make the first move, you will only become more and more passive.

Then, with a wave of Yi Xuan's hand, the three Black Tortoise reappeared behind the three of them and actively sucked them into the cockpit.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing Black Tortoise, Emperor Lin's expression changed drastically.

Although he had never seen the Black Tortoise during his previous battle with Yi Xuan.

Whether it's the Aerospace Mothership, the mechanical whale, or the Firmament that finally took Yi Xuan away, they all seem to be similar to the Black Tortoise at this time.

"You... you..."

Under the control of No. 01, the two Black Tortoise carrying Fu Qianqiu and Mu Anqing instantly flew to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Fortunately, the Black Tortoise, where Yi Xuan was, only rose a few hundred meters into the air, so the Emperor Qing and the Emperor Lin did not have to intervene.

Looking at the Emperor Lin, who was pointing at himself in disbelief, Yi Xuan smiled and said, "Emperor Lin! Long time no see!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Lin finally believed that Yi Xuan had not been subjected to Heavenly Burial, and he looked at Yi Xuan in mid-air with resentment.

"Very well, that's good. Last time, I was careless and suffered a great loss at your hands!"

After speaking, Emperor Lin turned to Emperor Qing beside him. "The opponent's cultivation is not high, but his methods are extremely strange. I ask my senior brother to help me capture this boy! As long as I extract his soul and refine his spirit, I don't believe I can't find a way to deal with that strange energy!"

Faced with the request from the Emperor Lin, the Emperor Qing naturally nodded in agreement.

Before the two of them could make a move, Yi Xuan's attack had already arrived.

Starlink, having received orders from Yi Xuan, had been poised to strike, but the two of them had not taken any drastic actions, thus preventing Starlink from launching an attack.

Now, under Yi Xuan's attack command, energy-based space-based weapons and kinetic-based space-based weapons have launched their attacks one after another.

Especially the energy weapon attack; the massive laser beam descended upon the two men almost instantly upon firing.

However, due to the arrangement of space-based weapons in Starlink's orbit, only a dozen or so laser weapons can simultaneously strike the same location.

Although this power was definitely beyond the ability of Bandit Cultivator to withstand, Yi Xuan remained skeptical about whether it could pose a threat to the Emperor Qing.

All they could do was stare at the area covered by lasers, squinting as they awaited the final result.
