Chapter 168: Ji Fuyao Instant Kill!

Excellent, excellent! Though six Great Emperors fell in this probe, we haven't lost a thing!

Hearing this, the Black-Clothed Great Emperor said to the Grand Elder, "Grand Elder, shall we continue with the same approach?"

Gu Lang Great Emperor nodded and asked, "How much longer until Ji Fuyao enters the Black Flame Mountain Range?"

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "There are still six or seven days."

Gu Lang Great Emperor's eyes gleamed as he said, "We still have two chances."

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor frowned and said, "Please clarify, Grand Elder."

Gu Lang Great Emperor stroked his beard, confident. "The first opportunity is before the Black Flame Mountain Range descends: capture Ji Fuyao. We can deploy a High-Star Great Emperor this time. If we fail, once Ji Fuyao just steps into the Black Flame Mountain Range, before the Fuyao Dynasty's grand ceremony, we will strike again."

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor suddenly understood, "Ah, that's how it is."

Gu Lang Great Emperor flicked his sleeve and said, "The plan remains unchanged. Wait for my order, then send a High-Star Great Emperor to seize Ji Fuyao."

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor clasped his hands in salute, "Yes, sir!"

One day later.

Gu Lang Great Emperor received the news.

Several more One-Star Great Emperors were slain by Ji Fuyao!

Gu Lang Great Emperor smiled slightly, "Excellent, excellent, excellent!"

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor wanted to speak but held back.

Gu Lang Great Emperor chuckled, "These branch hall Great Emperors are merely cannon fodder. Live or die, it doesn't matter. Over the tens of thousands of years, I don't know how many major forces my Heavenly Net Palace has subdued! Such fodder is abundant across the prefectures of Nan Huang."

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor nodded.

Four days later.

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor descended and again informed Gu Lang Great Emperor of Ji Fuyao's situation.

Ji Fuyao broke through in battle, entering the Saint King Realm and unlocking another seal of the Imperial Weapon Splitting Heaven.

With the power of the Imperial Weapon Splitting Heaven, she can now slay a Two-Star Great Emperor!

However, she will also suffer severe backlash because of it!

These past days, the Heavenly Net Palace has lost another dozen or so Great Emperors.

Gu Lang Great Emperor frowned slightly, lifted a cup of Spirit Tea, took a sip, and then spoke slowly.

"Is this Ji Fuyao's reliance? Or is she also hiding her strength?"

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor said, "Grand Elder, shouldn't we close the net now?!"

Gu Lang Great Emperor gazed into the distant void, "Indeed, this cat-and-mouse game should end. By the way, how is the outside world discussing my Heavenly Net Palace?"

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor hesitated, then said, "The strong ones of all prefectures are secretly saying that after the battle between our Heavenly Net Palace and the Great Dao Sect in Yun Prefecture, we have become utterly terrified."

Gu Lang Great Emperor smiled faintly, "I suppose the Great Dao Sect thinks the same."

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor added, "Grand Elder, I have also learned these past days about the Great Dao Sect: the Heavenly Origin Elder Ancestor left the Great Dao Sect, went to Yun Prefecture, and has reconciled with the Azure Wood Academy. It is said to be for the Bronze Ancient Hall."

Gu Lang Great Emperor's eyes flashed with a gleam, "Heh. This time the Great Dao Sect is studying that thread of the Bronze Ancient Hall's Dao Resonance, even pulling in a dozen or so hegemon-level forces, thinking they can cooperate and oppose my Heavenly Net Palace—but that's not the case. My Heavenly Net Palace is not fighting alone either; I imagine those alien and monster races have plenty of opinions as well."

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor said, "They have long declared that they will surely obtain the mysteries of the Bronze Ancient Hall."

Gu Lang Great Emperor smiled faintly, "These need not concern us; they are matters for the Hall Master and the Extinction Elder. Since the Heavenly Origin Elder Ancestor has already departed, we can indeed go all out. As for the titan of Xuan Qing Feng, the Hall Master has a hypothesis."

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor asked, "Grand Elder, please speak."

Gu Lang Great Emperor's lips curled slightly, "The Hall Master hypothesizes that the so-called White God, widely rumored across Nan Huang, is actually the titan transmitting sound to the three thousand prefectures of Nan Huang—they are one and the same!"

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor's pupils contracted sharply.

That White-Robed Great Emperor wiped out ten branch halls of the Heavenly Net Palace, instantly gaining fame across Nan Huang and being called the White God.

However, everyone is also curious why the titan of Xuan Qing Feng has not yet taken action.

If that titan were to act, it would be far more than just taking out ten branch halls; it might even descend directly upon the Heavenly Net Palace's main hall.

But that titan has not done so.

Gu Lang Great Emperor said, "Of course this is only speculation. Perhaps the Xuan Qing Feng titan also fears the Extinction Elder, leaving a loophole in his actions. In any case, the Hall Master said he has now received a great killer weapon bestowed by the Extinction Elder! Whether it is the Heavenly Origin Elder Ancestor or the Xuan Qing Feng titan, they have nothing to fear."

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor felt somewhat excited and asked, "Grand Elder, if we this time force the Xuan Qing Feng titan to reveal himself, how should we respond?"

Gu Lang Great Emperor slowly clenched his fist, indicating everything was within grasp.

"As long as we capture Ji Fuyao, even if we meet that titan, we can safely return to the Heavenly Net Palace headquarters!"

Upon hearing this, the Black-Clothed Great Emperor nodded.

It seems the Grand Elder has more than just the Three Dao Hall Master's Decrees; he also holds other trump cards.

A moment later.

Gu Lang Great Emperor flicked his sleeve and solemnly declared, "Pass my order: dispatch a High-Star Great Emperor to seize Ji Fuyao directly! We've been simmering the frog in warm water long enough; now it's time to boil it!"

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor's face grew solemn, "Yes, sir!"

Soon after.

The Black-Clothed Great Emperor tore through the void, his form turning into a divine rainbow, as he left the Heavenly Net Palace branch in Yun Prefecture.

Watching the Black-Clothed Great Emperor's retreating back, Gu Lang Great Emperor's face showed a sinister smile, "To be honest, I actually look forward to meeting that Xuan Qing Feng titan. As for whether you are that White-Robed Great Emperor, one move will reveal it!"

……

Luo Prefecture.

Ji Fuyao, clad in a Huo Se Chang Qun, her expression stern, piloted her Spirit Boat toward the Black Flame Mountain Range.

These past days, she has endured multiple encirclement attacks by the Heavenly Net Palace!

However, she has already broken through to the Saint King Realm and unlocked another seal of the Six-Star Imperial Weapon.

Furthermore, with the power of the Fire Dao Principle, exerting her full strength, she can slay an early-stage Two-Star Great Emperor!

If she does not unleash the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame, this is already her limit!

Moreover, she was also injured.

Although there were imperial-tier healing pills, compared to Master's medical art, the healing effect was still somewhat lacking.

Thinking thus, Ji Fuyao's face flushed red; she actually missed Master's medical art a bit.

But if Master were to treat her, she would have to experience that indescribable feeling again.

Along the way, the Heavenly Net Palace only had one-star and two-star Emperors besieging her.

But how could that be?

This is not like the Heavenly Net Palace's style of acting!

This made her secretly feel that Master was protecting her from the shadows.

The high-star Emperors must have been dealt with by Master!

For a moment, a warm current surged in her heart.

Ji Fuyao slightly tilted her snow-white neck, looking toward the void behind her, and murmured, "Master, I know you are behind me."

Chen Zhangsheng froze for a moment.

Since he had already been discovered, he could only speak in Lu Xuan's tone, "Fuyao, I am here, I have always been."

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes flowed with divine light, "Thank you, Master."

Chen Zhangsheng calmly said, "By the way, right now the Heavenly Net Palace has a high-star Emperor descending, preparing to besiege you."

High-star Emperor!

Ji Fuyao's delicate lips parted slightly, "Master, this time I want to test the power of the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame."

Chen Zhangsheng said, "Then I will let them in."

Ji Fuyao nodded, "Okay, Master."

As soon as her words fell!

"Boom!"

Void Rending!

Space twisted!

Within the void rift, several ancient spirit ships slowly sailed out.

At the prow of the spirit ships stood several terrifying figures, their faces sinister; the instant they saw Ji Fuyao, they immediately showed the ecstatic expression of having found prey.

Several Heavenly Net Palace high-star Emperors!

"Crack!"

Above the Void, a huge corner appeared, then an incomparably ancient emblem, its dao patterns flowing, Divine Light brilliant; the emblem kept enlarging, finally revealing its full form, like a massive mountain range lodged in the Void.

Two incomparably brilliant ancient characters slowly emerged.

"Heaven! Net!"

Numerous Heavenly Net Palace Emperors stood atop the spirit ships, gazing down with disdain, looking at Ji Fuyao as if at an ant, their voices icy cold, echoing through the Void.

"Ji Fuyao, it's time to end!"

For a moment, the clear sky was flooded with towering divine radiance; brilliant dao patterns surged on several ancient spirit ships, the Void riddled with cracks, and several terrifying Emperor-level pressures poured down like a vast sea, their momentum overwhelming.

Ambush on all sides!

This terrifying aura instantly startled the powerhouses of Luo Province.

Luo Province is not a major province; its strongest is only a two-star Emperor.

Now seeing so many high-star Emperors appear in Luo Province, they were frightened out of their wits.

This time led by a seven-star Emperor!

Several high-star Emperors, leading some low-star Emperors!

As the battle was about to break out, Luo Province's Emperors and quasi-Emperors immediately led their forces to withdraw from this battlefield.

A gray-robed elder's voice trembled, "The Heavenly Net Palace has come for Ji Fuyao! This time they mean business!"

Another Emperor said, "How can Ji Fuyao escape alive this time? Unless a titan of Xuan Qing Feng intervenes!"

At this moment.

Upon the Heavenly Net Palace's spirit ship, a middle-aged man stepped into the air and coldly shouted.

"Ji Fuyao! Come over yourself! Do you want us to come fetch you?"

Ji Fuyao's face grew solemn; she did not move a step.

Chen Zhangsheng took on Lu Xuan's voice and said, "Fuyao, don't worry. I can wipe out these Emperors with a flick of my finger."

Ji Fuyao's eyes blazed, "Master, I want to try."

Chen Zhangsheng nodded, "Good. This time you will practice the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame in actual combat, which will also help you grasp a higher level of the spirit fire way."

Upon hearing that, battle intent surged across Ji Fuyao's body!

With Master present, she could go all out!

Suddenly.

Ji Fuyao directly stepped into the air, rushing straight at the middle-aged man and charging over.

The middle-aged man showed no fear; his three-star Emperor pressure surged like an abyss and sea, directly crushing toward Ji Fuyao, not regarding her at all.

"A mayfly shaking a tree, alas lacking self-awareness..."

Before he finished speaking, a cluster of blazing spirit fire suddenly appeared in Ji Fuyao's delicate jade hand.

Heaven and Earth's strange fire!

Eight Wastes Extinction Flame!

As soon as this strange fire appeared, the entire Void became scorching hot, as if heaven and earth were about to ignite, the firmament within a radius of ten-odd miles boiling.

Ji Fuyao, clad in Huo Se Chang Qun, stood in the Void; around her had already evolved a ten-thousand-zhang sea of fire, her Huo Se Chang Qun and the heavenly spirit fire reflecting each other, like a sovereign of spirit fire.

"Heaven-Burning Decision!"

Ji Fuyao's thought stirred, the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame surged without cease, directly breaking two seals; like a great sun, she shot straight at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's face instantly turned extremely grim, "How could you possibly possess the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame in your hand!"

This is called the most blazing heavenly and earthly strange fire, capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas!

Boom!

In the next instant, the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame burst forth with brilliant divine radiance, vast and boundless; wherever it passed, the void twisted, the firmament surged, and it directly locked onto that middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man flicked his sleeve and immediately deployed the Great Emperor's Dao markings to block, but his Great Emperor Dao markings were directly refined away; before the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame, everything can be burned!

He hastily summoned an imperial weapon, but the imperial weapon was scorched into deformation, and the Dao markings inscribed on it instantly vanished.

The middle-aged man fled in panic, but the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame was faster, it crossed the void and directly crushed his Dao Resonance, making his speed ever more sluggish.

Seeing this, he was utterly panicked and shouted loudly.

"Save me!"

But the other Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace in the distance were all retreating violently.

This Eight Wastes Extinction Flame is truly terrifying; they also need to temporarily avoid its edge, to see just how powerful it can become!

Moreover, the other Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace also discovered that Ji Fuyao was forcibly driving the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame, her body had already reached its limit!

Her current condition is already at the limit!

Therefore, no one dares to come to her aid!

Soon.

The Eight Wastes Extinction Flame enveloped that middle-aged man; he frantically summoned various defensive treasures from his space ring, even burning his soul and flesh.

But it was useless!

"No! No……"

"Ji Fuyao, you will die a horrible death!"

In his miserable cries, the middle-aged man was directly refined by the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame.

Body and spirit both destroyed!

For a moment, only the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame remained, blazing fiercely above the void.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned!

Between heaven and earth, a deathly silence fell!

No one expected that Ji Fuyao actually possessed such a terrifying heavenly and earthly strange fire!

Even as strong as a Three-Star Great Emperor, he was directly refined!

Just what terrifying things did that giant give to Ji Fuyao!

The many Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace had grim faces; the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame is at its peak state.

Such a heavenly and earthly strange fire could even serve as the clan's supreme treasure of a hegemon-level power!

But now it has actually been bestowed upon Ji Fuyao!

At this moment.

A blood-robed elder of the Heavenly Net Palace gazed darkly, "We need not panic; although the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame is at its peak, it bears several seals, and with Ji Fuyao's strength she cannot possibly undo them all. Slaying a Four-Star Great Emperor is already her limit!"

Another Great Emperor beside him said, "There's no need for us to act; Ji Fuyao has already suffered backlash from the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ji Fuyao.

Having just forcibly undone two seals of the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame, her flesh and soul both suffered backlash.

Ji Fuyao's delicate body trembled slightly; she could no longer stand in the void, and a trickle of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

A faint smile appeared on her lips; the power of the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame exceeded her expectations!

She can no longer fight!

However, with her master present, she has nothing to worry about.

Above the void, the many Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace exchanged glances, each understanding the other's intent.

Let's attack together!

To prevent any unforeseen complications!

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

The High-Star Great Emperors joined forces, sealing the void; the terrifying, peerless aura of the Emperor Realm was immensely vast, and the brilliant Great Emperor Dao markings illuminated the void, like falling stars, suppressing even the might of the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame.

For a moment, numerous powerhouses of Luo Prefecture all felt their scalps go numb!

Terrifying!

Their hearts were utterly shocked; the terrifying pressure even gave them the urge to kneel and worship!

Everyone's souls trembled, and their spirits fled!

Now Ji Fuyao is unable to fight any further; even possessing the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame, she cannot slay any more Great Emperors!

The many Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace had grim faces, their voices icy cold.

"This time, it's truly over!"

Ji Fuyao immediately turned and shouted, "Master!"
