Chapter 101: Lu Xuan Battles the Eight-Star Emperor!
Eight-Star Emperor, could the one who has come be none other than the Nineteenth Elder of the Heavenly Net Hall's Main Hall, Mo Ying Emperor?
In an instant, everyone was utterly shocked.
The Nineteenth Elder of the Heavenly Net Hall's Main Hall has arrived!
And at this moment.
The man in black robes turned his gaze toward Ancestor Cangxuan and the others, his expression disdainful, appearing ruthless and cold; he let out a cold snort and slowly spoke.
"I am the Nineteenth Elder of the Heavenly Net Hall's Main Hall, Mo Ying!"
"I have come bearing the Heavenly Net Hall Master's edict, hoping that the Grand Dao Sect will assist the Heavenly Net Hall in handling affairs!"
His voice fell, like thunder constantly trembling in the void.
Assist the Heavenly Net Hall in handling affairs?!
The experts from all provinces were somewhat shocked; this Mo Ying Emperor has such a big mouth!
You must know this is the territory of the Grand Dao Sect!
At this moment.
Ancestor Heavenwalk let out a snicker and said lightly, "Interesting, interesting."
Lu Xuan's lips curled slightly; he was quite surprised.
How can everyone from the Heavenly Net Hall be so arrogant?
The previous Blood Fiend Emperor who was this arrogant has already been slapped to death by him with a single palm!
Ji Fuyao's snow-white neck tilted slightly, and she unconsciously moved a bit closer to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan glanced at Ji Fuyao and said lightly, "It's fine."
Mo Ying Emperor looked at Ancestor Heavenwalk with the disdainful air of a powerhouse, his expression completely disregarding Ancestor Heavenwalk.
"Grand Dao Sect, you destroyed one of our Heavenly Net Hall's branch halls and killed the Blood Fiend Emperor of our Heavenly Net Hall's Main Hall; we could let this slide with your sect, but Ji Fuyao must be handed over!"
Ancestor Heavenwalk coldly said, "Absolutely impossible!"
Lu Xuan looked at Ancestor Heavenwalk and said, "Ancestor, shall you take this fight, or shall I?"
Ancestor Heavenwalk's eyes flashed with light as he said, "Friend Dao, rest awhile; let me handle this."
Lu Xuan gave a light smile, "Good."
This suited him just fine—it would save him one use of the charging jade slip.
He only hoped that no further mishaps would occur!
In the distance.
Mo Ying Emperor revealed a teasing smile, "Well then, let me show you the methods of our Heavenly Net Hall."
As he spoke, Mo Ying Emperor pointed at Ji Fuyao, then withdrew his gaze, swept his sleeve in a domineering, unrivaled manner, and shouted respectfully.
"Please, the Hall Master's edict!"
His voice fell!
Behind Mo Ying Emperor, several emperors slowly spread out; their hand seals shifted, a profound qi surged around their bodies, and endless brilliant emperor Dao patterns began to gather in this stretch of heaven and earth.
Next, above the void, a corner of an edict slowly condensed; the edict shone like stars, gradually revealing its full form.
As the brilliant edict continued to condense, above the void emerged an exceedingly ancient and obscure qi, carrying endless spirit patterns and a hint of mysterious Dao Resonance.
Seeing this, the experts from all provinces felt a tremor of alarm.
Just how strong is the Heavenly Net Hall's Master, Duan Hun Sheng?
Merely the power of an edict personally written by Duan Hun Sheng is this terrifying!
Moreover, the Hall Master's edict hasn't even been fully unfurled yet!
At this moment, even Ancestor Cangxuan's face turned slightly pale!
Although this brilliant edict is merely something the Hall Master Duan Hun Sheng casually wrote, it contains his 'Dao,' equivalent to a single attack from such a supreme figure, its offensive power reaching the Nine-Star Emperor Realm!
Ancestor Heavenwalk is merely an Eight-Star Emperor; before this edict, he is utterly inadequate!
You must know that each star represents a world!
In the Emperor Realm, a difference of one star is like the gap between heaven and earth!
Although Ancestor Heavenwalk can draw on the power of the Grand Dao Classic, at bottom he is still merely an Eight-Star Emperor!
He simply cannot match Duan Hun Sheng's edict.
Ancestor Heavenwalk gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, stand behind me!"
Lu Xuan pulled Ji Fuyao back slowly behind Ancestor Heavenwalk, and the sect leader and others also retreated slowly behind Ancestor Heavenwalk.
Ancestor Heavenwalk stood like a towering mountain, unshakable, firmly withstanding the might of the Heavenly Net Hall Master's edict!
Soon.
The Heavenly Net Hall Master's brilliant edict finally began to manifest characters; each ancient character shone like the sun, moon, and stars, continuously spewing terrifying power that burned the heavens and refined the void.
"Boom!"
With each character's appearance, the void trembled and space warped!
Ji Fuyao merely glanced at it, and immediately tears streamed from her eyes, feeling her soul sting!
Her delicate body shuddered, and she hurriedly leaned against Lu Xuan, "Master..."
Tears streamed down her face!
The sect leader reminded, "Fuyao, don't look! This power is something even I cannot withstand!"
Ji Fuyao said, "Okay."
Lu Xuan infused a healing force of medical Dao into Ji Fuyao's body, and only then did her eyes gradually recover.
Not long after.
Above the void, the full set of ancient characters written by Duan Hun Sheng slowly emerged.
The Heavenly Net Hall issues an order: Duanhun Sheng declares, "The Grand Dao Sect shall aid my Heavenly Net Hall, presenting Ji Fuyao! No mistake allowed!"
Seeing this, the powerful experts from all regions in the distance were utterly shocked.
This Heavenly Net Hall Master is incredibly overbearing!
The Hall Master's edict actually takes the form of a command, ordering the Grand Dao Sect to assist!
It's laughable, as if the Grand Dao Sect were merely a subordinate force of the Heavenly Net Hall!
This basically shows they don't even regard the Grand Dao Sect at all!
At this moment.
In the edict floating in the void, each ancient character condensed with 'Dao' and 'momentum', like an invisible great mountain pressing on Heaven-Walking Ancestor's forehead; a trickle of blood immediately welled from the corner of his mouth, and his body involuntarily began to tremble.
Ink Shadow Great Emperor snorted coldly, "Cangxuan, you, a mere Eight-Star Great Emperor, still dare to resist the edict's might? If you do not retreat, the edict's power will surely blast you to death!"
Heaven-Walking Ancestor's face turned icy cold as he directly activated the power of the Grand Dao Classic; a terrifying, unparalleled aura surged forth, his black robe fluttering violently in the void above, he intended to force a battle, directly clashing with the power of Duanhun Sheng's edict.
With a boom, Heaven-Walking Ancestor stepped into the void and launched an attack!
"Boom!"
Finally, the terrifying spiritual energy above the void condensed into a heavenly-reaching giant hand, as huge as a star, with Dao Resonance flowing across it, immensely terrifying, as if embracing the might of heaven and earth, it directly slapped toward the edict of the Hall Master Duanhun Sheng.
"Hiss!"
That radiant edict erupted with the power of a Nine-Star Emperor Realm, like an uncrossable heavenly chasm; Heaven-Walking Ancestor's attack was instantly annihilated, his body hurled back thousands of feet, blood continuously spraying from his mouth!
One star, one world!
The might of a Nine-Star Great Emperor is terrifying beyond compare!
The power of Duanhun Sheng's edict kept bombarding Heaven-Walking Ancestor, whom he could not withstand; the Great Emperor Dao markings on his body continually dimmed, he was completely no match!
Soon, his body plummeted straight from the void and heavily smashed onto the mountain gate of the Grand Dao Sect.
"Crack!"
The magnificent mountain gate instantly turned to dust, the spiritual peak collapsed, rocks shattered, the earth shook and mountains trembled.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
Terrifying!
Is this the power of a Nine-Star Great Emperor?
The Heavenly Net Hall Master's edict is too powerful; an Eight-Star Great Emperor could never shake it!
The members of the Grand Dao Sect were all shocked, and Cangxuan Ancestor stood frozen in place.
The powerful experts from all regions in the distance sighed, feeling that over these thousands of years, the Heavenly Net Hall has risen in the Southern Wasteland under Duanhun Sheng's leadership; his strength is unfathomable, and behind him lies the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone.
This time, does the Grand Dao Sect have to compromise?
On the ground, Heaven-Walking Ancestor kept coughing up blood; he climbed up from the ground and was about to call upon the other still-sleeping ancestors of the 'Heaven' lineage.
But Lu Xuan said lightly, "Let me handle it. Let the other ancestors continue to sleep."
It seems the Grand Dao Sect cannot be relied upon.
Ji Fuyao looked at Lu Xuan with some excitement, "Master is about to oppose the power of a Nine-Star Emperor Realm!"
But Master is invincible!
She really doesn't need to worry.
Heaven-Walking Ancestor looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Fellow Daoist, be careful."
The Sect Master and all the Peak Masters gazed at Lu Xuan with immense reverence, saying, "Senior, be careful. If you cannot win, retreat; our sect still has hidden measures!"
Lu Xuan wore a carefree expression, "It's merely a trivial edict."
Saying that, he stepped directly out of the void, his white robe billowing, with Dao and Resonance flowing over him, appearing like a Heavenly Venerable descending to the world, bearing the void, immensely powerful.
Although he is not even an Emperor Realm now, he has already activated the final power of the Energy-Charging Jade Slip.
At this moment, he is invincible!
He can instantly kill a Nine-Star Great Emperor!
Let alone a mere Hall Master's edict!
In the distance, Ink Shadow Great Emperor wore a cold smile, "Which elder of the Grand Dao Sect are you again? The Grand Dao Sect claims to stand firm in the Southern Wasteland, yet it cannot even withstand a single edict's power?"
Lu Xuan shook his head lightly, "Too weak!"
The sound fell!
Lu Xuan directly unleashed a palm strike; though it seemed ordinary, it contained terrifying power enough to instantly kill a Nine-Star Great Emperor!
This heaven-piercing giant hand again **, grew larger, grew larger, kept expanding, like a mountain range spanning the void, finally covering the sky and blocking the sun, directly overlaying the edict of the Heavenly Net Hall Master.
One palm strike descended!
This palm strike fell like a falling star, like a continent sinking, colliding upon the edict of the Heavenly Net Hall Master, as if a star struck a mountain ridge, the void above instantly surged with terrifying fluctuations.
"Crack!"
"Hiss!"
In just an instant, the radiant edict that had just dominated this heaven and earth could continuously collapse and annihilate, the Dao and momentum on the massive edict being continually torn apart.
"Boom boom boom!"
Above the void, it seemed like a single punch against an edict, but in reality each breath was a clash of Dao and Resonance; within this terrifying might, mysterious and ominous qi continually evolved.
But the Hall Master's edict ultimately collapsed!
After a few breaths, above the void only remained a heaven-piercing giant hand and endless annihilating Great Emperor Dao markings, like dust in fireworks drifting with the wind.
However, the aftermath of that palm strike had not ceased, killing intent surging to the heavens, impossible to sever!
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
Between heaven and earth, a deathly silence fell!
The powerful experts from all regions stared agape, their hearts churning with towering waves!
What's the situation?
That terrifying edict of the Heavenly Net Palace Master, in their view, was already lofty and supreme, towering over all beings.
But the Great Dao Sect's Old Ancestor of the Heaven lineage merely cast a palm from afar, and the Palace Master's edict instantly shattered and vanished!
The Great Dao Sect is terrifying too!
A Great Emperor slowly said, "Heh. The Heavenly Net Palace thinks too highly of itself. The Great Dao Sect has merely not erupted in any major war for tens of thousands of years, and besides, the Great Dao Sect follows the exalted law of the Dao, transcending the world, not getting involved in the power struggles of Nan Huang, causing many hegemon-level forces in Nan Huang to forget how powerful the Great Dao Sect is!"
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed. Just moments ago they were worried about the Great Dao Sect, but now the situation reversed: "How will the Heavenly Net Palace wrap this up now?"
Ji Fuyao's starry eyes flickered, and a tremendous wave surged in her heart.
"Master!"
Master is invincible!
Although she had become an Emperor in her previous life, she had only reached the rank of a One-Star Great Emperor, far inferior to the Cang Xuan Old Ancestor and the Old Ancestor of this Heaven lineage.
She glanced at the towering giant hand in the void, then at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan wore a calm, composed expression, light and breezy, merely throwing out a light palm strike, after which he made no further moves.
This is confidence!
Just how strong is Master?
She can't imagine it!
At this moment.
Above the Void, Mo Ying Great Emperor and the others froze in place.
Their faces showed expressions of utter shock.
Before descending upon the Great Dao Sect, they believed that relying on the Palace Master's edict, they could completely intimidate the Great Dao Sect!
Who would have thought the Great Dao Sect still possessed such a powerhouse?
Mo Ying Great Emperor and the others' hearts were filled with endless shock; they felt deceived by the Great Dao Sect!
For thousands of years, the Great Dao Sect has been too low-key, never displaying its strength in Nan Huang!
They were all deceived, mistakenly thinking the Great Dao had declined, was no good!
Moreover, over these thousands of years, the Great Dao Sect has produced no peerless monsters, so its reputation in Nan Huang is unremarkable.
But.
This time, when the White Robe Great Emperor made a move, Mo Ying Great Emperor and the others knew they had... kicked an iron plate!
Thinking of this.
Mo Ying Great Emperor and the others' faces turned very grim.
Now the Palace Master's edict has been torn apart, vanished completely; they no longer have the confidence to stay here.
He wanted to flee.
But he knew that before such an existence, he had no chance.
By now, the master of that giant hand has never shown himself, completely disregarding them!
Mo Ying Great Emperor now thinks that when he just descended upon the Great Dao Sect, he was truly overly arrogant.
He really wanted to slap himself hard.
He was thinking, how should he now pacify the Great Dao Sect's anger and escape?
Mo Ying Great Emperor actually still has a trump card: the projection power of the Palace Master Duanhunsheng.
Even when its power equals that of the Palace Master's edict, it still cannot match this golden giant hand!
If unleashed, it would surely provoke the Great Dao Sect to fury!
That's practically suicide!
Thinking thus, Mo Ying Great Emperor gathered his courage and bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan.
"Senior, you are magnanimous, a Great Emperor's belly can hold a boat; I am merely following orders, and I hold no disrespect toward the Great Dao Sect."
"Please, Senior, raise your noble hand and let me go! I, Mo Ying, will no longer serve the Heavenly Net Palace; from now on I withdraw from the Heavenly Net Palace!"
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
Several other Great Emperors directly knelt above the Void, shouting loudly, "Please, Senior, raise your noble hand! We too are merely following orders!"
Lu Xuan paid no heed.
He will not stop this palm strike until all enemies are exterminated!
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The aftershock of the giant hand is terrifying beyond compare; it is a power surpassing everyone's comprehension, wherever it reaches, the Void is torn, Great Emperor Dao patterns are obliterated, and defensive Emperor weapons cannot block it.
Golden light, like lightning, shot forth!
Several Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace froze in place, and several beams of golden light pierced directly through their foreheads.
"Boom!"
Several people directly perished, their bodies falling straight from the Void.
Instant kill!
Witnessing this scene, heaven and earth fell into deadly silence.
Mo Ying Great Emperor's soul nearly fled; terrified, he dared not move, his voice trembling as he asked.
"Senior, I don't know how you can let me go."
Lu Xuan calmly said, "You want to leave? My Great Dao Sect is not a place you can come and go as you please!"
"Boom!"
The aftershock of this palm strike was like heavenly thunder striking the top, heaven and earth suddenly changed color, the surrounding heavenly and earthly energy surged wildly, a golden storm gathered above the Void, like the sea flowing backward, giving rise to myriad killing intents!
The power was overbearing and fierce, with an aura capable of destroying the heavens, and the entire void constantly trembled and roared.
"Pfft!"
The Ink Shadow Great Emperor spat out a mouthful of essence blood, directly igniting his soul!
In an instant, endless flames appeared on his body, burning his soul and spirit to resist this terrifying killing intent!
Within a few breaths, the Ink Shadow Great Emperor's ink robe had turned into tattered rags, blood flowed from his seven orifices, his flesh had shattered into fluff, and even half of his face revealed stark white bone!
But the golden giant palm's power did not diminish in the slightest, transforming into endless void gang winds, like a torrential flood, surging toward the Ink Shadow Great Emperor!
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
The Ink Shadow Great Emperor's imperial body began to shatter and disintegrate!
He directly burned his lifespan!
A fierce light surged upon his body, this being the power of burning his lifespan!
But it was useless!
But it was useless!
His divine soul was fading, his physical body scattered like tattered rags in the wind, his consciousness blurred, and his vitality continually waned…
"No… my life should not end, my life should not end…"
Before he could finish speaking, the Ink Shadow Great Emperor turned into nothingness and vanished above the void.
He fell outright!
At that moment, Lu Xuan sensed a wisp of Nine-Star Emperor Realm power within the Ink Shadow Great Emperor's storage ring, immediately guessed its identity, and coldly said, "How come? Duan Hun Sheng, why don't you show yourself?"
…
