Chapter 266: Chapter 266: This is called Unrivaled in the World!
No sooner had Yan Shouyi’s words fallen than he transformed into a golden rainbow, soaring into the sky and vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Leaving Zhou Heng alone on the Jade Void Peak Golden Top, in a daze.
“What’s going on? Is my senior brother going directly to pick a fight with Yunxiao Heavenly Palace?”
A sense of alarm and doubt rose in Zhou Heng’s mind.
However, having a senior brother who would rush to stand up for him as soon as he heard his junior was being hunted down by high-level Martial Artists felt pretty good.
But still, since Yunxiao Heavenly Palace was a malevolent Sect with a Divine First Rank, could his senior brother be in any danger?
Zhou Heng stared in the direction where the golden rainbow Yan Shouyi had become disappeared, worry creeping into his heart again.
Meanwhile.
The golden rainbow Yan Shouyi turned into spanned over a million li in an instant, its incomparable might shaking the heavens and the earth, immediately causing a stir throughout all of Da Qi.
…
Within the stele forest behind the Infinite Temple, an old monk sat in a withered state.
Motionless, as if he were a piece of decayed wood.
Suddenly, when a golden rainbow cut across the firmament, the monk immediately opened his eyes, looking up in astonishment, “Yan Shouyi? What does he intend to do?”
…
Solar Divine Palace.
Deep within the grand palace, a man in ceremonial robes sat with closed eyes, a small sun floating in the void before him, the phantom of a three-legged Golden Crow surrounding him.
Suddenly, the Golden Crow flapped its wings, and the man frowned and looked outside the palace, his shocked voice echoing, “Yan Shouyi, what’s he up to?”
…
Five Elements Sect.
“Residing True Sun…”
…
Qing Emperor Palace.
“Is the number one on the Celestial Ranking about to make a move?”
…
Longevity Way.
“This direction, is it towards Yunxiao Heavenly Palace?!”
…
Fengzhou Cui Clan.
“Is the true Yan about to cause a big stir?”
…
Yaochi Palace.
“Is Brother Shouyi going to take action against Yunxiao Heavenly Palace?”
…
…
It was not just the righteous Sects and noble families that sensed Yan Shouyi’s actions; malevolent Sects such as the Plague Emperor Sect, Honghua Palace, and Nine Deaths Sect also detected that Yan Shouyi was rushing towards Yunxiao Heavenly Palace.
And the aura he emitted was sharp and unreserved.
He was openly proclaiming to the world that the “Residing True Sun,” Yan Shouyi, the current number one on the Celestial Ranking, was seeking a grievance with the top malevolent Sect, Yunxiao Heavenly Palace.
This led many powerhouses to speculate what great event could have enraged Yan Shouyi to such an extent that he would personally visit Yunxiao Heavenly Palace.
In an era where Divine First Rank and Tao Second Rank remained reclusive.
Yan Shouyi was truly considered the unparalleled number one in the world, invincible.
His every move immediately caused a huge uproar across Da Qi.
An undercurrent was swiftly forming.
Many people and powers began to send out envoys to inquire whether there had been a significant conflict between Pure Yang Palace and Yunxiao Heavenly Palace, to better prepare for the future.
After all, to many, Yan Shouyi’s actions signified signals of great import.
If Pure Yang Palace and Yunxiao Heavenly Palace, these two behemoths, were truly to enter into full-scale war, it would surely lead to a series of chain reactions that could become a conflict affecting half or even the entirety of Da Qi.
And while countless people made their speculations, Yan Shouyi had already arrived at the mountain gate station of Yunxiao Heavenly Palace.
…
Yunxiao Heavenly Palace, located in Suzhou to the northwest of Da Qi.
This place was more than fourteen hundred thousand li away from where Taihua Mount in Yongzhou was situated, but to a Celestial Power like Yan Shouyi, it was merely a stone’s throw away.
Unlike the gatehouses of most sects, the entrance to the Yunxiao Heavenly Palace is not on the ground but in the sky.
What is called “Heavenly Palace” is actually a city in the sky, spanning tens of thousands of miles and floating above the high altitude of thirty thousand feet, hidden within the misty, ethereal clouds.
This “Heavenly Palace” is very ancient, even older than Da Qi, and has been suspended in the air, inhabited for thousands of years.
Around the “Heavenly Palace,” for over ten thousand miles, are all kinds of forbidden spells and formations. If any outsider tries to break in forcefully, they would immediately all activate, leaving the intruder with no place to be buried.
Therefore, Yan Shouyi stopped ten thousand miles away from the Heavenly Palace and did not continue forward.
Soon after, a voice transmitted from within the Yunxiao Heavenly Palace.
“Yan Shouyi, what brings you here?”
The voice was incredibly deep and full of dignity; the very sound caused the clouds in the sky to churn violently, as if they were encountering their sovereign and were about to pay homage.
“You’re actually asking me what I’m here for?” Yan Shouyi laughed upon hearing this. He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze directed at the layers of cloud sea ahead, and he smiled, “Chitian Shu, shall you come out to meet me, or shall I drag you out?”
Chitian Shu, the lord of the Yunxiao Heavenly Palace who took over five hundred years ago.
Second on the Heavenly List.
“Arrogant!” Chitian Shu shouted sharply, “This is the Yunxiao Heavenly Palace, do you dare take one step closer?”
“Why would I need to take a step forward to capture you?” Yan Shouyi laughed heartily. Suddenly, with a shake of his body, he instantly transformed into an enormous Primordial Spirit tens of thousands of miles in length.
Behind him shone a radiance spanning tens of thousands of miles, the purest of the pure yang.
At the same time, all the doctrines and laws of the pure yang in the world were moved, and everyone in Da Qi saw the grand and boundless figure of Yan Shouyi.
“To rival heaven and earth itself! Yan Shouyi, are you declaring war on my Yunxiao Heavenly Palace?” Chitian Shu’s voice was filled with disbelief, “Have you gone mad?”
“The saints do not appear, the Tao Lords are not present; do you think you’re worthy of making me declare war?” At this moment, Yan Shouyi had none of his usual gentle and scholarly aura and became extremely arrogant, like a deity that ruled the heavens and the earth, with authority over all and sovereign in might.
His words, like thunder, pierced directly through the forbidden formations ten thousand miles away from the Yunxiao Heavenly Palace and reached the city in the sky.
In that instant, countless houses collapsed, numerous palaces disintegrated, unspeakable numbers of evil martial artists were killed, and myriad breeding grounds for evil creatures were destroyed.
“What on earth do you want?!” Chitian Shu yelled angrily, clearly pushed to the brink of rage, but he still did not show himself and remained hidden within the Yunxiao Heavenly Palace.
“Oh, nothing much, just that some people seem to have forgotten what it means to be number one on the Heavenly List and what it means to be invincible in the world,” said Yan Shouyi, grinning, his neck rotating with a crackle, “The Yunxiao Heavenly Palace is suspended too high, I think it should come down a few thousand miles.”
Immediately after, the colossal figure that rivalled heaven and earth raised its right hand.
In a mere instant, just as a deity would manipulate the cosmos, the entire region of Suzhou erupted with deafening roars, layer upon layer of clouds dispersed, and mountain after mountain trembled.
Every single move he made was with the force of the endless heavens and earth.
This is what it means to be a “Celestial Man.”
At the same time, a sword light tens of thousands of miles long condensed in Yan Shouyi’s hand, piercing through heaven and earth, symbolic of the law, and its pure yang radiance turned hundreds of thousands of miles around the northern sky of Da Qi into gold.
“The Pure Sky True Sun Sword?! A Unique Divine Weapon! Ah! Yan Shouyi! You’re still the same madman you were three hundred years ago!!” Chitian Shu’s curses bellowed.
The next instant!
The golden sword light blossomed across the sky, tearing through the void, and slashed down towards the Yunxiao Heavenly Palace!!
…
Boom!!
At the Golden Peak of the Jade Void Peak of Ta Hua Mount, Zhou Heng suddenly heard a “colossal boom” resound between heaven and earth.
Though called a sound, it wasn’t actually audible, imperceptible to the average person.
This was a perception on the level of the spirit; he felt as though some rules and principles of the world had been shattered or suppressed.
Even the clouds in the sky appeared to be surging abnormally, conveying a sense of desolation.
“What’s happening?” Zhou Heng wondered in his heart.
Boom!
At that moment, the sound of the void being torn apart came, as the golden rainbow that Yan Shouyi had transformed into descended from the sky and landed beside Zhou Heng. He had reverted back to his scholarly demeanor, gentle and elegant, appearing like a typical good fellow.
If it weren’t for the three heads he was holding in his hand…
“Senior brother, what is this…”
Zhou Heng stared at Yan Shouyi in astonishment, as well as the three heads that he held in his hand.
To be honest, he was quite baffled.
“I chopped off three of Chitian Shu’s heads to get the whole story. The stubborn old man doesn’t get any wiser with age,” Yan Shouyi casually tossed the three heads into the cloud sea amidst the mountains, as if throwing away three rotten watermelons, and chuckled, “I haven’t exercised with ‘people’ for too long and have gotten a bit rusty. After all, one must constantly practice their skills.”
“???” Zhou Heng now had a face full of question marks, staring blankly at Yan Shouyi.
What had his senior brother just said?
He chopped off three of Chitian Shu’s heads??
How many heads did Chitian Shu have??
And besides, wasn’t Chitian Shu the current lord of the Yunxiao Heavenly Palace, a Celestial Power??
