Chapter 666: Chapter 658 The Power of the Emperor Clan
The day of the duel between Ji Xiaoyu and the Unbeatable Emperor finally arrived, with the Dao Court’s members trailing Ji Xiaoyu to a meteorite.
Gazing around, the void was dim, with countless meteorites scattered across it. Above the Dao Court’s party, colorful splendor surged across the void’s ceiling, illuminating it without diminishing its shadowy undertone.
Ji Xiaoyu stepped into the void, while the others waited on the ground.
Xiao Lan gazed at Ji Xiaoyu with concern. Having spent many years with him, Ji Xiaoyu had taken good care of her, even teaching her spells and divine skills. In her heart, Ji Xiaoyu was like a mentor. Knowing the power of the Unbeatable Emperor, how could she not worry for Ji Xiaoyu?
The void was vast, silent, and oppressive.
Although the Unbeatable Emperor had not yet appeared, this void was already filled with an immense sense of oppression.
After Ji Xiaoyu distanced herself from the meteorite where the Dao Court was, she stood silently in the void, waiting.
A long time passed.
“Ha—”
A shout echoed through the void, disrupting everyone’s thoughts.
Following that shout, more shouts arose, one after another, growing louder and more imposing, as if millions were roaring in unison, shaking the heavens with overwhelming oppression.
Everyone from the Dao Court tensed, their gazes directed toward the depths of the void, where a red radiance appeared, rapidly expanding.
Xiao Lan squinted and saw an imposing figure, akin to a war god, striding out from the vast flames within the red radiance.
The Unbeatable Emperor!
He wore a dark red chain armor, with a red scarf around his waist, his trousers wide, billowing in the wind. His face was handsome but indifferent, and he wore a deep red coronet on his forehead. His long black hair danced wildly, his commanding presence threatening to shake the heavens and earth.
He treaded on the red flames, moving with the grace of a dragon and a tiger, his aura seemingly distorting the void.
Behind him, countless figures emerged from the red flames, each with an extraordinary aura. Although they remained silent, the deafening shouts continued to echo infinitely through the void.
The Dao Court’s members looked on from afar, their faces grim, their hearts in their throats.
“Is the Primordial Emperor Domain really this formidable?” an Elder of the Dao Court muttered, his face full of shock.
Yuan Songzi took a deep breath and said, “This is but one Emperor Clan of the Primordial Emperor Domain. The might of the Primordial Emperor Domain is beyond our imagination. In the Great Thousand World, only a few Great Worlds can barely compare.”
These words fueled further fantasies about the Primordial Emperor Domain among the crowd.
Meanwhile,
The Unbeatable Emperor raised his right hand, fiery flames gathering in his palm, forming a long spear, several times his own length, with a massive spearhead, as if a qilin spat out the spear blade, surrounded by a divine beast’s phantom, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
He looked at Ji Xiaoyu from afar and said, “Are you the Reincarnation Dao Emperor? Bearing the name of reincarnation, do not disappoint me.”
As his words fell, he thrust his spear toward Ji Xiaoyu.
A fiery line suddenly shot out, seemingly splitting the entire void in two. The red flame divine beast phantom roared silently before Ji Xiaoyu, the wave of qi force blowing through her long hair, revealing her cold and perfect face.
Ji Xiaoyu remained silent, raising her right hand as rolling gray mist emerged from her palm, transforming into dragons coiling around her.
An exceptional showdown between Daoist Emperors was about to erupt!
Yuan Songzi watched the Unbeatable Emperor, his eyes filled with fear.
He could sense that the Unbeatable Emperor was still at the Profound Yuan Free Immortal Realm, yet his aura gave Yuan Songzi, who was at the realm’s perfection, a horrifying sense of impending annihilation.
He felt that the Unbeatable Emperor could kill him with a single stroke!
This filled him with dread for the Unbeatable Emperor and increased his concern for Ji Xiaoyu.
…
At the Qiankun Sect’s Main City, around the gigantic Battle Platform, hundreds of thousands of disciples stood on the stone steps, observing the fight on the platform.
Gu An and his drinking buddies were also there, while An Xin was in the distance, sitting with the Qiankun Sect’s upper echelons.
An Xin maintained a poised demeanor, not looking at Gu An, but dispassionately overlooking the combat on the platform.
Yi Qingshan put down his teacup, turned to An Xin, and asked with a smile, “Senior, how is this child’s talent?”
Yuan Luo had just transformed into a Divinity Transformation Realm and was battling a Profound Heart Realm disciple.
Between the Divinity Transformation Realm and the Profound Heart Realm lay the Void Crossing and Fusion realms, and the Qiankun Sect was not a mundane sect of the past. Joining without Nirvana-level Cultivation showed one was young and exceptionally talented.
Even two great realms lower, Yuan Luo still had the upper hand.
His talent was evident to the naked eye, even astonishing those disciples at the Immortal Realm.
An Xin replied, “Indeed impressive, able to contend with any peerless genius in the world.”
Yuan Luo appeared only sixteen or seventeen, still youthful, yet with one palm, he severely injured his opponent, rendering them unable to fight.
Floating in the air, he looked up to the pavilion where the upper echelons were and loudly declared, “I want to challenge a higher realm!”
His words caused an uproar among the crowd.
The observing disciples had not expected Yuan Luo to continue challenging, increasing their anticipation of him.
Grand Elder Lin Chuan signaled with his hand, and a Mahayana Realm disciple stepped onto the platform with a sword.
Yuan Luo bowed to the opponent, then initiated the attack first.
“This kid is so formidable; no wonder the higher-ups are promoting him so much,”
remarked one of Gu An’s friends, prompting discussions among the other friends.
Gu An was not surprised by Yuan Luo’s performance.
This child’s mana was bound by his realm, yet his qi-blood force was overly vigorous. Though appearing at the Divinity Transformation Realm, he in fact rivaled Nirvana.
While watching the spectacle, Gu An was also focused on Ji Xiaoyu’s duel on the Path of the Great Dao.
Ji Xiaoyu was not a match for the Unbeatable Emperor; despite giving it her all, she was unable to defeat him yet managed to wound him, surprising the Unbeatable Emperor and the Great Powers of the Primordial Emperor Domain.
Gu An would not assist Ji Xiaoyu to defeat the Unbeatable Emperor, as it held no significance. His goal was to ensure Ji Xiaoyu survived.
In the final clash of divine skills, Ji Xiaoyu was defeated, her body obliterated, leaving only her soul, barely alive.
At this point, the destiny she accumulated on the Path of the Great Dao flowed entirely to the Unbeatable Emperor.
“You are stronger than my previous opponents, and your understanding of the Path of Reincarnation is quite impressive. I think I won’t forget you for a long time in the future.”
The voice of the Unbeatable Emperor resonated through the void, still fierce in aura, with the wounds on his cheeks making him even more imposing.
Holding his long spear, he approached Ji Xiaoyu’s soul. All around, the void was filled with smoke and clouds, remnants of shattered meteorites.
Seeing the Unbeatable Emperor about to annihilate her completely, Yuan Songzi hurriedly flew in front of Ji Xiaoyu, urgently saying, “You’ve already won, so why push it to the extreme? Please grant her a chance to live!”
The Unbeatable Emperor slightly lifted his chin, looking down at Yuan Songzi with contempt, saying, “Since when did worms dare to obstruct a Daoist Emperor?”
In the distance, the Great Powers of the Primordial Emperor Domain stepped forward, their boundless might suffocating Yuan Songzi.
