Chapter 287: Killing people is as easy as killing chickens!

Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, your death is at hand!

The voice boomed!

Beneath the Giant Crocodile Great Emperor's feet, imperial Dao patterns surged; each step spanned a thousand zhang, his violent aura thrashing like thunder, and he directly blasted toward Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen.

The might of the Nine-Star Emperor Realm was like an abyss and a sea; in an instant, it left Ji Fuyao and the two others unable to move.

Ye Chen struggled to stand, but a heaven-shaking great era pressed down, leaving him utterly unable to move; he looked at Ji Fuyao and said, "I can't move!"

Ji Fuyao's beautiful brows slightly furrowed; she, too, could not rise.

Even attempting to unleash the Ultimate Dao Imperial Weapon was impossible!

This is the terrifying suppressive power of a Nine-Star Great Emperor!

Although the two of them were heaven-defying enough, the gap between them and the Nine-Star Emperor Realm was as vast as the difference between clouds and mud!

Ye Chen looked toward the distance and called out, "Senior..."

Xuanji Holy Lord remained silent; she had already fallen into a balance of "momentum," existing in an extremely mysterious state.

But at that moment, as the Giant Crocodile Great Emperor acted, his power destroyed that "momentum".

Xuanji Holy Lord's body twitched slightly, yet her eyes remained closed.

Hiss!

Suddenly, several strands of Xuanji Holy Lord's crystalline hair floated up; her white hair stretched three thousand zhang, shooting down from above the Void with overwhelming momentum, evolving into terrifying "Dao" and "Resonance," like an Ultimate Dao Imperial Weapon, blazingly fierce.

The Giant Crocodile Old Ancestor and his companions had not yet reacted when several strands of crystalline hair descended with terrifying momentum.

In the span of a breath, their imperial might vanished instantly, their surging demonic power was suppressed back into their bodies, and the surrounding surging imperial Dao patterns began to shatter continuously.

On the ground, Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen felt all pressure upon them disappear.

They gazed in shock toward the void, and Yao Yan was likewise filled with astonishment.

This white-haired senior is too terrifying!

Just a few strands of hair are this terrifying!

Xuanji Holy Lord!

Several people immediately recognized Xuanji Holy Lord and exclaimed in surprise.

You should know that these past days, Xuanji Holy Lord has been searching for the ancient great medicine!

I never expected she would also find this place!

They were shocked in their hearts; just moments ago, Xuanji Holy Lord had attained a "natural" momentum, merging with this heaven and earth, so they had not noticed at all.

Had they known Xuanji Holy Lord was here, they would never have dared to act so openly.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss!

Those several strands of crystalline hair were like lightning, wrapped in the quasi-Dao Supreme's Dao Resonance, descending with endless killing intent.

Seeing this, the Giant Crocodile Old Ancestor and his companions all cried out in alarm.

"Holy Lord, please spare us; we had no idea you were in seclusion here!"

"No! No..."

"Holy Lord, we are acting under the Demon Court's orders..."

Even invoking the Demon Court's name, Xuanji Holy Lord's terrifying killing intent did not cease, enveloping this heaven and earth as it blasted forth.

Numerous demon emperors unleashed their imperial weapons, but in an instant they were pierced by the crystalline hair, shattering into falling fragments.

It was utterly useless!

The next instant.

The Giant Crocodile Old Ancestor and his companions were utterly shocked, turning to tear open the void to flee, but it was too late; the crystalline hair shimmering with divine radiance pierced straight through their brows.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

"Blood burst forth!"

"Instant kill!"

The corpses of numerous demon emperors fell like blood rain from the void, crashing heavily to the ground.

Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen glanced at each other, both eyes showing a hint of astonishment.

Merely a few strands of hair floating up directly instant-killed several Nine-Star Great Emperors!

Xuanji Holy Lord is stronger than they imagined!

"Thank you, senior, for saving our lives!"

Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao both bowed respectfully to Xuanji Holy Lord.

Xuanji Holy Lord's crystalline hair drifted back, still giving no response.

Ye Chen looked at Yao Yan and asked, "Old Yao, is Xuanji Holy Lord that gray-robed senior from back then?"

Yao Yan shook his head. "I'm not sure."

In the following days.

Xuanji Holy Lord sat cross-legged on the spot like an ancient mountain, motionless, refining the vitality.

Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen did not leave; they sat cross-legged in the distance, cultivating.

……

Stone Forest Land.

Pig-Headed Great Emperor Zhu Liefang and his companions continued to explore this place for outer-realm opportunities; here the mountains stretch continuously, the terrain is uneven, rolling boulders carry Dao and Resonance that flow endlessly, outer-realm forces have been obliterated, leaving behind many terrifying opportunities.

There are many supreme treasures that even Nine-Star Great Emperors flock to!

During this time, they encountered some ancient Yin soldiers; the two sides engaged in a great battle, the demon race suffered some casualties, but ultimately they annihilated all those ancient Yin soldiers.

Pig-Headed Great Emperor Zhu Liefang could not help but exclaim, "As expected of the Bronze Ancient Hall—though extremely perilous, opportunities abound everywhere!"

The demon elder beside him said, "Indeed! The opportunities in the Emperor Realm region are already this terrifying; it's hard to imagine what the region above the Emperor Realm is like."

Zhu Lie said, "The things there are said to be essential items for those who set foot on the Supreme Path; otherwise, one cannot go far on the Supreme Path at all."

Not long after.

Pig-Head Great Emperor asked, "Hmm? The Giant Crocodile Ancestor and his group have been gone for several days, yet there's no news—could the White-Robed Great Emperor have taken action?"

The Elder beside him said, "After entering the Bronze Ancient Hall, there has been no news of the White-Robed Great Emperor. I don't know where he is hiding now."

Pig-Head Great Emperor frowned slightly, looking to the side, and said, "You few, go to the Ancient Medicine Ground and check on the Giant Crocodile Ancestor's situation."

Upon hearing this, an Azure Python Monster Great Emperor shimmered with flowing light, transforming into a green-skirted woman, who nodded and said, "As you command!"

Soon, the green-skirted woman, accompanied by several Monster Great Emperors, traversed the void and flew toward the Ancient Medicine Ground.

……

Ancient Medicine Ground.

Several more days passed.

Xuanji Holy Lord remained seated cross-legged in the same spot, her white hair shining brightly, wrapped around her perfect delicate form, revealing an alluring curve; the aura on her body became increasingly ethereal, the Great Emperor Dao Marks continually flowing, while the strange and ominous forces around her grew ever thinner.

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said to Ji Fuyao, "Senior Sister, it seems this predecessor has succeeded."

Ji Fuyao's starry eyes flickered, and she nodded.

These past days, they, while cultivating, also secretly gained some insight into Xuanji Holy Lord's Great Emperor Dao Marks.

What is a Dao Mark?

Inscribed with the Great Emperor's "Dao"!

To reach the Emperor Realm, one must prove the Dao between heaven and earth; only then can one continue onward.

Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen had previously received the baptism of Great Emperor Dao Marks from numerous ancestors of the Grand Dao Sect, and had also seen the Dao Marks of many other Great Emperors, thus they understood the qi of the Great Emperor Dao Marks.

Whether human race, foreign race, or monster race, although profoundly mysterious and ineffable, they are all products of heaven and earth, possessing a sense of "existence".

However, the Dao Marks on Xuanji Holy Lord's body are somewhat aberrant, seeming to repel heaven and earth, as if they ought not to "exist".

Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen both shook their heads.

Such profound mysteries have long exceeded their cognitive scope.

Perhaps only the Master can understand.

Just then.

Xuanji Holy Lord's body suddenly burst forth with Divine Light, shining like a white star, and from within her world came a profound sound like a great bell and grand pitch, making Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen feel their hearts become clear and profoundly mysterious; she suddenly rose, her long jade-like legs like jade pillars, her white hair fluttering, her divine appearance peerless.

Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen were slightly startled.

Xuanji Holy Lord's icy, ethereal voice slowly sounded out—this was the first time she had spoken since arriving here.

"I am leaving."
