Chapter 192: Below the Supreme, Above the Emperor Realm!

How is this possible?

Seeing this, Duan Hunsheng stood frozen in disbelief in the black river.

The Ye clan members were equally dumbstruck.

This strange power was so easily suppressed by Peak Master Lu?

Not even a ripple arose!

Duan Hunsheng finally showed shock, 'You… Old Man Nirvana told me, no Nine Star Emperor Armament can suppress it!'

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, put away the Heaven-Swallowing Mystic Vessel, then reached out with a big hand to seize Duan Hunsheng.

Duan Hunsheng frantically activated the Great Emperor Dao Patterns to resist!

But it was useless!

But it was useless!

In just a few breaths, Duan Hunsheng was sucked to Lu Xuan's face, his throat seized.

Duan Hunsheng's face drastically changed.

He still had a last trump card, but now being suppressed by Lu Xuan, he couldn't activate it at all!

This is the Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Formation!

He set it up for a full thousand years; it is his ultimate killing move!

If he activates this formation, within a thousand li of heaven and earth, all living beings will be sealed into the Heaven-Reaching Formation, and he will draw on their power to erupt with supreme killing force!

Unless a High Star Great Emperor, one cannot escape this formation.

I should have activated the Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Formation at the same time as releasing the strange power!

Now his killing move died in the womb, making him extremely furious.

Thinking of this.

Duan Hunsheng looked ferocious and said in a fierce voice, 'I haven't lost yet! Let me activate the Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Formation, and we'll fight to the death!'

Pa!

Lu Xuan slapped him, almost skewing Duan Hunsheng's head.

Directly search the soul!

In the next instant.

Lu Xuan slightly startled.

Because Duan Hunsheng's mind contained a seal surpassing the Nine Star Great Emperor, his Insightful Eye could discern the flaws in these seals but could not destroy them.

Lu Xuan tried to blast a flaw, and in Duan Hunsheng's Sea of Divine Spirit appeared ripples of divine light, but the seal patterns remained unmoving.

But Duan Hunsheng cried out in pain.

Hiss…

Lu Xuan tried several more flaws.

Duan Hunsheng's body spasmed from the pain, his eyes rolled back; even as strong as a Nine Star Great Emperor, he could not endure this agony!

Hiss…

Ah…

Pain!

Too painful!

Soon, Lu Xuan gave up.

Duan Hunsheng looked ferocious and coldly said, 'White Robe Great Emperor, I know your true strength. Above the Emperor Realm and below the Supreme, there are four great realms: Half-Step Supreme, then First to Third Turn Quasi-Dao Supreme!'

My Sea of Divine Spirit contains a Quasi-Dao Supreme seal! Thus, you are at most a Half-Step Supreme!

The sound fell!

Ji Fuyao slightly startled.

The Ye clan members were all bewildered.

Half-Step Supreme?

They originally thought the Nine Star Great Emperor already stood at the pinnacle of Nan Huang, but they didn't expect that above the Nine Star Great Emperor there are Half-Step Supreme and Quasi-Dao Supreme!

Seeing the crowd's bewildered expressions, Duan Hunsheng sneered, 'Truly a bunch of idiots! Foolish and ignorant! But it's normal; the Supreme Path hasn't opened for tens of thousands of years. In this endless age, even the High Star Great Emperors of Nan Huang are hidden, let alone Half-Step Supremes and Quasi-Dao Supremes!'

"But what I'm most curious about is, why as a mere Half-Step Supreme, you are not bound by the Heavenly Dao and can freely walk in Nan Huang!!"

Hearing this, Ji Fuyao snorted coldly, her face icy, 'My master has long been invincible in the world; how could you presume to guess?'

Duan Hunsheng gritted his teeth, coldly laughing, 'Even if your master is stronger, can he surpass Old Man Nirvana? Empress Fuyao, do you know why Old Man Nirvana dares not step out of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone?'

Ji Fuyao's starry eyes flickered, 'Why?'

Duan Hunsheng gave a sinister laugh, 'The Bronze Ancient Hall hasn't truly manifested yet, so no heaven-earth change has occurred. Now the Heavenly Dao's killing intent is extremely terrifying; any strong one above the Nine Star Great Emperor who appears will be directly obliterated by the Heavenly Dao!'

Ye Beichen looked puzzled, 'Heaven-earth change?'

Duan Hunsheng snorted coldly, 'Each opening of the Supreme Path signifies a heaven-earth change, while the Supreme Fruit Position is merely a loosening of the heaven-earth ultimate principle. Thus, Half-Step Supremes and Quasi-Dao Supremes have a chance to seize the Supreme Fruit Position, and the root cause of the heaven-earth change is the Bronze Ancient Hall.'

"Before the Bronze Ancient Hall appeared, the limit of this world was the Nine Star Great Emperor! The Bronze Ancient Hall shattered the heaven-earth ultimate principle, allowing the ancient great emperors to break the Grand Dao and forge the paths of Half-Step Supreme and Quasi-Dao Supreme!"

Hearing this, Ji Fuyao and the Ye clan members were somewhat shocked.

Who would have thought Nan Huang still hides such a secret!

No wonder last time the Bronze Ancient Hall appeared like a fleeting shadow, many ancient overlord-level forces emerged early!

At this moment, Duan Hunsheng looked at Lu Xuan and continued, 'So I'm puzzled: you can crush me, so you must be a Half-Step Supreme! How can you emerge early without being struck down by the Heavenly Dao? This supreme secret, I'm sure the titans of Nan Huang would also be very interested!'

Hearing this, Lu Xuan's mouth corners slightly rose.

That means now, he holds an Eight Star Great Emperor Experience Card; Half-Step Supremes and Quasi-Dao Supremes titans cannot emerge, making him invincible in Nan Huang!

At this time.

Duan Hunsheng looked at Ji Fuyao, gave a sinister smile, and said, "Even if your master is stronger, can he be stronger than the Heavenly Dao of this realm?"

Ji Fuyao wore an arrogant expression and said, "My master has long since transcended the Heavenly Dao of this realm!"

Duan Hunsheng was stunned.

Lu Xuan's face twitched, and he remained silent.

Ji Fuyao thought to herself, her master's silence was tacit approval of her words.

In the dark, Chen Zhangsheng felt doubtful: if his master could not break the life-and-death seal of the Quasi-Dao Sovereign stage inside Duan Hunsheng's body, then wouldn't that mean his master's incarnation was at most a half-step Sovereign?

He understands the Heavenly Dao!

Duan Hunsheng's words are not false; with the Heaven-Earth change yet to occur, a half-step Sovereign cannot manifest in the world.

In the ancient era, the Nine Star Great Emperor was the limit.

But the Bronze Ancient Hall suddenly appeared, sweeping away the heavenly principles of this world, and the Supreme Path evolved from it.

From the Nine Star Great Emperor to the Three-revolution Quasi-Dao Sovereign, it seems there are only four major realms, yet it caused the ancient emperors to wander countless ages before taking these four steps.

Chen Zhangsheng couldn't help but think of himself.

His cultivation is a special case; this involves a supreme secret of Nan Huang, and the timing is not yet ripe, so he cannot tell his master.

Thinking thus, Chen Zhangsheng looked at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan can ignore the shackles of heaven and earth!

This again seems to confirm that the master comes from the River of Time; what stands before us is merely an incarnation, and since he has transcended, he can disregard the constraints of the Heavenly Dao.

A moment of silence passed.

Duan Hunsheng snarled, "Today I may have fallen into your hands, but I haven't lost! If you are the Nine Star Great Emperor, then you will be the one who dies! You have stolen the Heavenly Dao—I have already transmitted this using a Secret Technique to Jiemie Lao ren! Once the Heaven-Earth change begins, you are doomed!"

Lu Xuan gave a cold smile; this Duan Hunsheng is truly stubborn!

At this point, he's still trying to win with words!

He threw a punch directly, terrifying power surging forth, supreme slaughtering force swirling, the fist slamming into Duan Hunsheng's abdomen.

"Crack!"

Black blood burst from Duan Hunsheng's body!

His Dao foundation was instantly annihilated by Lu Xuan's punch; the massive black Dao foundation within his world shattered into fragments, splitting apart and dissolving into countless shards.

For a moment, the sealed Extinction Power within Duan Hunsheng's body could not be contained, and his cultivation plummeted continuously.

Nine Star Emperor Realm!

Eight Star Emperor Realm!

……

Eventually he fell to the level of One Star Great Emperor!

Duan Hunsheng let out a miserable scream, blood pouring from his seven orifices, utterly horrific.

"Ah... you actually destroyed my Dao foundation!"

"No! No……"

Lu Xuan looked at Ji Fuyao and said lightly, "Fuyao, it's up to you to personally deal with Duan Hunsheng! He's now only at the One Star Emperor Realm!"

……
