Chapter 167

Six Venerables, Heavenly Net Hall Emperor!

These people, their aura deep, the Emperor Realm's might like a vast sea, poured out in all directions.

Those who came are all one-star Emperors!

Chen Zhangsheng frowned slightly, "Huh? How are they all one-star Emperors?!"

I feel something's off.

He examined it again carefully.

These people did not conceal their cultivation; they are indeed all one-star Emperor Realm!

It seems he need not act.

Just observe from the shadows.

One of the gray-robed elders pointed from afar, condensing a huge finger phantom in the void; a heaven-piercing force directly crushed toward Ji Fuyao's spirit vessel.

"Boom!"

Ji Fuyao's expression changed drastically; she immediately shot back like lightning.

The next instant.

Her spirit vessel exploded outright, turning to dust; the terrifying shockwave surged outward like a mountain fire.

"Pfft!"

The explosive aftershock surged; Ji Fuyao's delicate body trembled, she spat a mouthful of essence blood, stabilizing her form in the void.

The gray-robed elder wore a sinister grin, sneering, "Ji Fuyao! I heard you slew three one-star Emperors in Fangzhou! Quite the feat! Let me see what you're capable of!"

His voice fell!

Six one-star Emperor Realm powerhouses stood spaced in the void, directly forming a united front, all erupting with one-star Emperor Realm pressure.

In an instant, the terrifying imperial might pressed down on her head like a hundred thousand mountains.

Ji Fuyao's face turned icy; she directly summoned the six-star Emperor Armament, Splitting Heaven.

"Swish!"

The Splitting Heaven spear was like a crimson fire dragon, its aura towering, faint traces of "Dao" and "Power" flowing along it, the tip flashing cold light, as if it could rend the heavens.

Instantly, the pressure of the six Emperors was lifted away invisibly!

The gray-robed elder saw through it, coldly laughing, "No wonder it's a six-star Emperor Armament! Too bad you can't unleash its full power!"

Ji Fuyao gave a soft snort, then wielded the Splitting Heaven spear and charged forward with a thunderous strike!

"Heaven-Burning Decision!"

In a moment, her aura surged endlessly, like an endless fire abyss rising between heaven and earth, blazing power exploding like crashing waves.

She took the initiative to attack!

The gray-robed elder flicked his sleeve, gaze contemptuous, "A firefly's light dares to rival the sun and moon! Though the six-star Emperor Armament is strong, it's merely external power! Attack together, seize Ji Fuyao!"

Soon.

The six Emperors wasted no words, directly attacking!

Between heaven and earth, dark light overflowed; terrifying, peerless power condensed from six directions, like a storm converging, the void trembled, space warped, causing the heavens to dim.

Ji Fuyao swept her spear outward; the spear-light shot forth like a rainbow, illuminating heaven and earth, clashing head-on with the six Emperors!

"Boom!"

Ji Fuyao was directly blasted back hundreds of zhang, spitting blood again.

Her face turned pallid; she locked onto the gray-robed elder and rushed to kill him.

Now she is besieged; if she forcibly resisted the combined might of the six, her spiritual power would soon be exhausted!

She must take them out one by one!

And the gray-robed Emperor is the strongest among these six!

This person is only one step away from reaching two-star Emperor; his strength reaches the heavens!

As the saying goes: to shoot a person, shoot the horse first; to capture a bandit, capture the leader first!

As long as the gray-robed elder is slain, the other five will naturally collapse.

Thinking this,

Ji Fuyao lightly bit her delicate lip, gripping the Splitting Heaven spear, battle intent soaring; wherever her jade foot stepped, a mark of spiritual fire was left.

Her aura kept surging!

The gray-robed elder gave a cold snort, flicked his sleeve, and directly summoned his own Emperor Armament.

Boom!

With a roar, an utterly shattered ancient war chariot floated in the void; though the chariot was covered in rust and severely broken, it bore a mysterious and terrifying "Power," erupting in blood-red divine radiance, the chariot clattering as it charged straight at Ji Fuyao!

Ji Fuyao's face grew grave; she thrust her spear straight at the ancient war chariot.

This spear thrust was like a river of spiritual fire!

In an instant, the terrifying spear-light shattered the chariot's "Power"; the chariot let out a roar, yet continued to surge toward Ji Fuyao.

The ancient war chariot bore many mottled marks, clearly having undergone the baptism of a great battle!

Ji Fuyao did not advance but retreat, instead charging straight at the ancient war chariot; her divine sense had long locked onto the chariot's weak point.

Another spear thrust!

"Crack!"

The Splitting Heaven spear and the ancient war chariot collided, erupting with terrifying might, heaven-shaking light scattering, divine radiance filling the heavens.

Ultimately, the six-star Emperor Armament crushed the ancient war chariot; struck at its weak point, the chariot instantly showed the traces of endless ages, could no longer hold, and kept shattering.

The gray-robed elder's face changed drastically, "How is this possible?"

At that moment, Ji Fuyao's slender jade hand was already stained with blood, and she spat another mouthful of fresh blood.

The collision of Emperor Armaments' might is not something a single Profound Saint can withstand!

But the pain in her flesh cannot conceal the battle intent in her heart!

She has realized that this journey to the Black Flame Mountains is the best opportunity to temper her strength!

What cannot kill her only makes her stronger!

Battle!

Her battle obsession will cease only in death!

The next instant.

Ji Fuyao stepped through the wreckage of the ancient war chariot and rushed straight at the gray-robed elder.

In such a life-and-death deadlock, to break through one must fight swiftly and decisively!

On her body, the power of the Heaven-Burning Decision and the power of the Grand Dao Scripture all surged forth, and a Dao Resonance nearing fusion appeared on her.

Not only that!

Ji Fuyao directly activated the power of the Fire Dao Principle, and soon a boundless sea of spiritual fire condensed behind her.

Although this boundless sea of spiritual fire is merely an illusion, it flows with a kind of 'Dao'.

This is Ji Fuyao's Dao of Spiritual Fire!

In the span of a breath, Ji Fuyao's aura surged again.

Three kinds of power were bestowed upon her Heaven-Splitting Spear!

"Shrie!"

Ji Fuyao directly slashed a spear-light at the gray-robed elder.

This spear-light was completely like a river of spiritual fire, immensely terrifying, spanning heaven and earth, devouring mountains and rivers.

Damn Ji Fuyao! I, a mere Great Emperor, have no such terrifying foundation!

At this moment, his heart truly felt unresolved resentment!

A lowly Profound Saint ant, with all this foundation, has actually attained Emperor Realm power!

Her jealousy blazed fiercely, gradually turning into killing intent!

He flicked his sleeve, and a tremendous force surged; a massive palm imprint appeared, blasting toward Ji Fuyao with all his might.

"Boom!"

The Heaven-Piercing spear-light shattered the firmament, directly blasting apart that massive palm imprint; its aftershock mighty, it headed straight for the gray-robed elder.

The gray-robed elder's face turned extremely grim; he immediately activated the Great Emperor Dao Patterns shield.

But it was useless!

But it was useless!

"Crack!"

The Great Emperor Dao Patterns shattered; the gray-robed elder stared in disbelief as his head flew off.

One spear, beheaded!

Instant kill!

Blood spurted!

The gray-robed elder's corpse fell from the sky.

At the same time, the attacks launched by the other five Great Emperors were already upon her, descending upon her back.

Ji Fuyao felt a deathly palpitation; at this point she had no time left to unleash another spear!

Five Emperor Realm attacks—she cannot block them!

With a thought, several defensive formation disks and talismans flew from Ji Fuyao's storage ring, all activated!

These were given to her by her master after he destroyed the Ten Halls of the Heavenly Net Palace!

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Endless brilliant Dao patterns surged around her, layer upon layer, countless formation lines rising spontaneously, stars glittering, enveloping Ji Fuyao.

The five Emperor Realm attacks descended; Ji Fuyao was shaken by the aftershock of the immense force, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood.

But this lethal strike was completely blocked!

Seeing this, the five Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace turned grim.

Damn the Grand Dao Sect!

Just how much Emperor Realm foundation has been given to Ji Fuyao!

Six-Star Emperor Armament, plus the Fire Dao Principle, and these several Emperor-rank defensive formation disks!

How can we fight now?!

Among these six, the strongest gray-robed elder has already been slain by Ji Fuyao!

Simply outrageous!

Six emperors can't even take down a Profound Saint?!

At this moment.

A black-robed Great Emperor snarled, "Attack! Ji Fuyao is activating the Six-Star Emperor Armament, her spiritual power is nearly exhausted! Now is our chance!"

The voice fell!

Five Great Emperors attack again!

Ji Fuyao's face turned icy cold, her gaze contemptuous, she charged straight at the five Great Emperors.

"Boom boom boom!"

Above the Void, terrifying power poured forth in all directions, heavenly radiance blazing dazzling, Ji Fuyao's figure shrouded in a sea of fire, she unleashed her full power.

Meanwhile, in the distance, this battle had already alarmed several nearby cities.

Countless divine senses and divine thoughts went toward Ji Fuyao to investigate.

They were utterly shocked.

Ji Fuyao single-handedly fought five Great Emperors, but instead she crushed them!

A black-robed Great Emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Ji Fuyao, you can't defeat our……"

Before he could finish, Ji Fuyao suddenly thrust her spear; the spear-light flickered.

Swish!

The black-robed man hadn't finished speaking when his body froze stiff in place.

His head slid right off his neck!

Blood sprayed across the heavens!

Instant kill!

The other four Great Emperors instantly froze like wooden chickens.

They stared at Ji Fuyao, utterly shocked, and the spirit-fire power on her surged again!

Her strength increased in battle!

What a monstrous evildoer!

One cried out, "Damn it! To actually gain insight in the midst of battle!"

Spear intent!

Just then, Ji Fuyao stepped forward with her long jade leg for hundreds of zhang, and thrust her spear again.

Swish!

Another Great Emperor's head flew off!

Instant kill!

The two remaining Great Emperors exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with fear.

Earlier Ji Fuyao had gained insight into the Spirit Fire Dao; now, relying on the power of the Six-Star Imperial Armament, her strength had completely surpassed theirs.

What to do?

Flee!

Mission failed!

The two directly tore through the void, trying to escape!

Ji Fuyao didn't pursue; her spear suddenly flew up, transforming into a river of spirit fire that shot toward the two's rear.

Several thousand zhang away!

Swish!

The two Great Emperors were instantly severed at the waist!

The next instant, the Heaven-Splitting Imperial Armament flew back into Ji Fuyao's slender jade hand.

Pfft!

Ji Fuyao spat out a mouthful of essence blood; at this moment she, too, had reached her limit!

She immediately sat cross-legged, took out the Heaven-Splitting Imperial Armament, and swallowed an Imperial Rank Healing Pill.

Heal!

At the same time, surging heavenly flames rose on her body, and a vast sea of spirit fire condensed around her.

She gained insight into the Heaven-Burning Decision!

Witnessing this, the many observing powerhouses were utterly shocked.

Gaining insight in battle!

No wonder she's the disciple of that great master!

Simply heaven-defying!

An Emperor Realm expert stared intensely, "I've heard that Ji Fuyao intends to reforge the Fuyao Dynasty; if this trend continues, before long a terrifying power will truly rise in Nan Huang!"

Another Quasi-Emperor said, "Yeah! Speaking of which, that great master's sound transmission to the three thousand provinces of Nan Huang still seems effective! Even the Heavenly Net Palace dare not send out a High-Star Great Emperor!"

Meanwhile.

Chen Zhangsheng, meanwhile, was far away, observing covertly.

On Ji Fuyao's person, a faint aura of an Empress had already appeared—that was the bearing of a lofty sovereign.

He silently thought, "Senior Sister, you've undergone quite a transformation in this battle!"

Only to see, Ji Fuyao's body flowed with radiant divine light, and a faint Dao Resonance condensed.

Chen Zhangsheng said, "Senior Sister actually intends to reforge the Fuyao Dynasty; evidently she will wage endless war in Nan Huang henceforth—this is her 'Dao'."

Life-and-death extremes can draw out Senior Sister's potential; that is also why the Master let him merely deal with the High-Star Great Emperor in secret.

This is a life-and-death tempering for Senior Sister!

Unfortunately.

Such a Dao is not suited for him.

What he wants is longevity!

At the pinnacle of cultivation, strength serves only as a means to seek longevity above and below.

If immortality cannot be achieved, what difference is there between strength and weakness?

……

Fall Province.

Heavenly Net Palace branch hall.

Gu Lang Great Emperor sat upon the high seat, his eyes deep.

A black-clothed Great Emperor stepped out of the main hall and respectfully said to Gu Lang Great Emperor,

"Grand Elder, in this He Prefecture, the six One-star Great Emperors we sent out were all killed by Ji Fuyao! Moreover, Ji Fuyao actually gained some insight in battle! Her strength has increased again!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lang Great Emperor gave a faint smile and asked, "Has any investigation found a powerful expert secretly protecting Ji Fuyao?"

The black-clothed Great Emperor shook his head, "No. However, Ji Fuyao's current combat power is indeed terrifying. To slay a Great Emperor with the Xuan Saint Realm is simply heaven-defying!"

Gu Lang Great Emperor's mouth curled slightly as he clapped and laughed loudly, "Excellent, excellent! This probe, although six Great Emperors fell, we are not at a loss at all!"

……
