Chapter 1449: A Pile of Mysterious Essence (First update, requesting everything)

Such a cruel scene is rarely seen even by the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas; the key is that this is the Phoenix Emperor, at the very pinnacle of the pyramid, and in history, there has never been an Emperor who died in such a miserable state.

Most importantly, the Phoenix Emperor was an ally of the Human Emperor. It would be one thing if the Human Emperor could bring himself to do it, but killing is just the end of it; the Phoenix Emperor was clearly tortured to death by the Human Emperor.

This treatment of an ally is far too cruel. Even if the Phoenix Emperor had a thousand faults, she did not deserve to be treated this way, let alone that the Phoenix Emperor may not have done anything to wrong the Human Emperor.

At this moment, Wendi revealed a look of "the rabbit dies and the fox grieves," and then said: "The Human Emperor doing this is likely to maximize the extraction of the Phoenix Emperor's negative emotions, which may be helpful for unsealing the Heavenly Realm."

At the same time, Wendi felt a sense of relief in his heart; if not for the rescue by Li Zhangsheng and Wudi at that time, the one being sacrificed would likely not have been the Phoenix Emperor, but him.

Of course, it could also have been that three-minute Emperor—Aidi.

Not far away, Luo Yuanjun also felt relieved, feeling glad for his own foresight; if he had continued to follow the Human Emperor, he might have been the next target for sacrifice.

The Human Emperor did not even spare his most important ally, the Phoenix Emperor, so there is no need to even mention the Qingmu King.

Li Zhangsheng nodded, agreeing with Wendi's opinion.

After confirming that the altar was not dangerous, Li Zhangsheng reached out and waved, and the Phoenix Emperor's corpse drifted down lightly from the altar.

Even though the Phoenix Emperor was his enemy, she was ultimately an Emperor, and one must always maintain the dignity of an Emperor.

"Sure enough, the Phoenix Emperor's soul is gone!"

Li Zhangsheng frowned deeply. It was clear that after the Human Emperor tortured the Phoenix Emperor to death, he used the Phoenix Emperor's soul, blood essence, negative emotions, and all the living beings in the Imperial Capital as sacrifices, perhaps utilizing other things as well, in order to break through the Heavenly Realm barrier.

The next moment, golden flames ignited, and the Phoenix Emperor's corpse finally turned into fly ash, was placed in an exquisite Divine Dragon, and was eventually buried underground.

After dealing with the Phoenix Emperor's remains, Li Zhangsheng, Wendi, Wudi, and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas flew up, broke through the Gale Layer, and cast their gazes toward the end.

A huge semi-circular barrier stood at the end of the horizon, permeated with endless star power, looking just like a sea of stars.

This was the Heavenly Realm barrier. This was somewhat beyond their expectations; the Human Emperor had not completely destroyed the Heavenly Realm barrier.

The group tried attacking it for a while, but even with the combined strength of everyone, they could only stir up wisps of ripples, which were instantly repaired.

The energy of the Heavenly Realm barrier was too abundant; unless it was broken in one go, there was almost no possibility of breaking it open. This is also why the Heavenly Realm barrier has never disappeared after so many years.

"It is very likely that the Human Emperor only broke a corner, and then the Heavenly Realm barrier automatically repaired itself. However, in such a short time, it is likely not fully repaired here and is temporarily a weak point; it must be much easier to break than in other directions."

"But even if it is a weak point, as you just saw, with our strength, it is very difficult to break the Heavenly Realm barrier."

"Only by concentrating more power will it work." Li Zhangsheng pondered for a moment and continued: "How about this: everyone send more Stronger, and also, we must strive to win over the Stronger under the Xuan Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor. When the time comes, we will try using the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array."

For the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, the more Stronger gathered, the more powerful and lasting it will be.

In addition, this place is closer to the Star Palace, so we can use the power of the 365 Star Palaces to increase the power of the Forbidden Array.

If the Supreme Being present also contribute their strength together, there will surely be some certainty.

"The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas should recover from their injuries as soon as possible. Also, Qingmu King, try to break through to Emperor Rank here. We will personally guard you, and I believe no petty people will come to obstruct you!"

Li Zhangsheng listed them one by one, striving to increase their own strength in a short time.

"The Stronger under the Xuan Emperor will be left to me!"

Wudi was eager to try and immediately cast his consciousness into the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings to contact the Stronger under the Xuan Emperor.

"Then I will strive for the Stronger under the Phoenix Emperor."

Wendi did not want to fall behind and similarly cast his consciousness into the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings.

Ever since the Xuan Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor fell, the Stronger under them had become panicked and uneasy; except for a very few, the vast majority of the Stronger had thoughts of defecting to other factions.

"Then I leave everything to you all!"

Luo Yuanjun bowed deeply to Li Zhangsheng and the others, then landed on the ruins of the Mucang Empire Imperial Capital and began to attempt to break through to Emperor Rank.

Li Zhangsheng reached out and waved, and 365 Star Banners scattered in all directions, forming the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array, with the Sun Moon Star Chart suppressing the array, causing the power of the Forbidden Array to increase significantly.

In this way, even the Human Emperor or the Blood Emperor could not forcibly break the Forbidden Array in an instant. Coupled with the protection of the various Stronger, even if the Human Emperor, the Blood Emperor, and others joined forces, it would be impossible to threaten Luo Yuanjun in a short time.

In other words, this place had temporarily become the most heavily protected place in the entire Fairy World.

The next moment, a great momentum gathered within the Forbidden Array, and the clouds and winds in the sky changed, as if turning into a funnel.

At this time, a huge Eye of the Heavenly Dao appeared in the sky, merely rolled around, devoid of any emotion, and just looked at Luo Yuanjun through the Forbidden Array before disappearing.

However, during this process, Li Zhangsheng always felt that some inexplicable substance fell from the sky and merged into Luo Yuanjun's body, causing Luo Yuanjun's whole body to make crackling sounds as his physique was rapidly strengthening.

While Luo Yuanjun was attempting to break through, Li Zhangsheng took the opportunity to sort through the spoils of war.

The most precious spoils were naturally the Nest of Radiance and the Demon Refining Pot; the former was complete and was a genuine Supreme Langhuan Treasure, while the latter was incomplete, missing two precious pearls, yet still reached the rank of Upper Langhuan Supreme Treasure.

Of course, one could not forget the Seeking Dao Jade Fragment obtained from the Ink Qilin. Given the size of this fragment, the Seeking Dao Jade might very well advance a step further, and one wonders how many complete Great Daos will be added this time.

Besides these, the collection was mainly composed of the treasures of the Xuan Emperor and the Ink Qilin.

In addition, there were numerous corpses of Spirit Beast and Divine Beast, and there were no fewer than ten corpses of Divine Beast, with the corpses of the Ink Qilin, the Purple Firmament Qilin, and the Wutu Qilin being the best.

For Li Zhangsheng, the corpses of the Purple Firmament Qilin, the Chongming Bird, and the Ancestral Red Dragon were the most useful, as they could continue to improve his and Ning Bizhen's strength.

It must be mentioned here that these Demon Pet and Divine Beast all carried Top-Grade Treasure, among which there were four or five Divine Artifact alone, which was a dazzling sight to Li Zhangsheng, because this could continue to improve their strength.

What surprised Li Zhangsheng the most was a Jade Box the size of a water bucket. This Jade Box came from the Xuan Emperor's Space Ring, and it actually contained nearly twenty Mysterious Essence, which was very surprising.

Note: Second check.
