Chapter 1227: Paradise Elder, One Against Two, Once Killed for the Immortal Court

The old man who had abruptly appeared looked utterly ordinary.

But there was no doubt — he was an Emperor.

He wore a holy white robe, and behind him there were no wings of light.

His features were commonplace, a head of gray-white hair; he looked even a bit like a secular old man, even giving off a trace of amiability.

But one must know, Paradise is the foremost assassin dynasty.

And this old man, as Paradise's trump card, was obviously no benevolent soul.

"Could that be... the Paradise Elder?"

Some big shots of immortal forces, upon seeing this old man, saw their pupils abruptly contract.

The Paradise Elder is Paradise's most mysterious trump card, of extremely senior generation.

He almost never emerges, never acts; his mere existence is a deterrent.

And now, the Jun family's great army has arrived.

The Paradise Elder could no longer remain in slumber; he had to come out and fight, otherwise all of Paradise would be destroyed in one stroke.

He did not believe that a single Emperor-realm Angel Saint Puppet could block the Grand Emperor.

It may be called an Emperor-realm puppet, but compared to a true Emperor-realm powerhouse there is obviously still a gap, and it cannot sustain prolonged battle.

Moreover, Jun Taihuang's strength is far greater than that of an ordinary Emperor.

Relying on one puppet to contend with Jun Taihuang is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

"Paradise Elder, you're actually still alive."

Even Jun Taihuang was slightly surprised.

Even he had heard of the Paradise Elder's title, having already survived multiple eras.

Of course, looking at him now, he also appears to have nearly one foot in the grave.

After all, not everyone is like the Divine Ao King, born with an incomparably long lifespan.

Without some special fortune, the Paradise Elder probably wouldn't live much longer.

"So close to success yet failing at the last moment — but there's nothing to be done about it."

"Your Jun family has indeed produced a remarkable young figure."

The Paradise Elder, as Paradise's most senior trump card.

To hear a word of praise from his mouth is absolutely rare.

But everyone thinks it over and also finds it reasonable.

After all, scanning the Immortal Domain, one probably cannot find a single younger-generation figure who could survive the quasi-Emperor absolute kills of the three great divine dynasties.

Jun Xiaoyao is the only one.

"No need for idle talk — a battle beyond the heavens."

Jun Taihuang was decisive, too lazy for extra words.

Everyone who heard was astonished.

Jun Taihuang actually intends to face the mysterious Paradise Elder and the Emperor-realm Angel Saint Puppet simultaneously, alone.

One against two — this is not something just anyone can do.

Especially after reaching the Emperor realm, wanting to crush peers of the same stage is very difficult.

"Third Ancestor..."

Within the Jun family, some Old Ancestors were worried.

"Rest assured."

Jun Taiyan and the other Ancient Ancestors, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind much.

A Grand Emperor — how could he have an undeserved reputation?

The Paradise Elder sighed and said nothing more.

He produced a silver scepter, radiating brilliant divine splendor.

Seeing this, behind Jun Taihuang nine golden great dragons roared, finally intertwining and fusing together into a dazzling golden divine sword.

"Nine true dragon souls..."

Witnessing this scene, many immortal-force ancient fossils, living fossils, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

That Nine Dragon Divine Sword was shockingly forged from immortal materials, Dao Tribulation Gold, fused with nine true dragon souls — a matched weapon.

Only a Jun family Emperor-realm Ancient Ancestor could possess such an astonishing hand.

After all, those are true dragon souls — rare since ancient times.

The appearance of a single true dragon is enough to sweep across the eight directions.

Jun Taihuang, holding the Nine Dragon Divine Sword, soared toward the depths of the vast universe.

The Paradise Elder and the Emperor-realm Angel Saint Puppet also rose into the air and vanished.

The next moment.

From the depths of the universe came an earth-shaking rumble.

It was the sound of the Great Dao trembling, overturning sun, moon, and star rivers, even beating out chaotic qi.

Its trembling power even caused the Huntian Immortal Domain to quiver slightly.

The Emperor battle erupted!

Many people wanted to witness the Emperor battle with their own eyes, but it was simply impossible to get close.

Even trying to spy from afar was very difficult.

Because that Emperor Dao radiance was too dazzling, nearly piercing people's eyes blind.

Cultivators below the quasi-Emperor realm couldn't even watch the battle.

Only those at the Quasi-Emperor level and above can catch a glimpse or two.

Meanwhile, the Jun family's great army is still battling Heaven.

Heaven's five Quasi-Emperors, relying on the Primordial Sixth Killing Formation, are barely holding on, stalling for time.

Of course, the Jun family's Ancient Ancestors aren't pushovers either.

Fifth Ancestor Jun Taihao, wielding a cleaver, brings it down in a single slash; the blade light spans tens of millions of miles, shattering one of the formation's nodes.

Fourth Ancestor Jun Taiyan, judging by her appearance, was originally a gentle, jade-like woman, even possessing a delicate, dependent air.

But now, she has turned into a violence maniac as well.

With every gesture, the might of a Nine Tribulations Quasi-Emperor shakes the universe.

"You dare injure my Jun family's Qilin scion — even I, your Ancestral Grandma, haven't laid eyes on him yet, and you nearly got him killed."

Jun Taiyan's willow brows stand on end.

As she raises her hand, endless stellar power converges, ultimately forming a massive celestial body.

Like Mars colliding with Earth, it rumbles downward, crushing the Primordial Sixth Killing Formation below.

Heaven-Shaking Star!

Watching such a violent Fourth Ancestor, many observing powerhouses from surrounding forces twitch at the corners of their eyes.

"Worthy of the Jun family — male or female, young or old, all so domineering and violent."

Boom!

The massive celestial body descends.

The Primordial Sixth Killing Formation trembles; numerous formation patterns are damaged.

The erupting shock force instantly reduces a swath of Heaven's assassins to blood mist.

They don't even have time to let out a scream.

All of Heaven's people pin their hopes on the Heaven Elder and the Emperor-realm Angel Saint Puppet.

Although even if they win, they can only temporarily force the Jun family to withdraw.

But it would still leave them a sliver of survival.

Who knows how much time has passed.

The entire realm has long been shrouded in blood mist.

Corpses pile up in the millions, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

This is an Immortal War.

Once ignited, rivers of blood are inevitable.

At this moment, from the depths of the vast universe, a shocking collision erupts, accompanied by brilliant Emperor blood scattering.

"I... am old after all."

This voice carries a trace of weakness — it is precisely the Heaven Elder.

The next moment, a golden sword light stretching hundreds of millions of miles slashes across the firmament.

Then with a resounding boom, the Emperor-realm Angel Saint Puppet is cleaved in two.

"No..."

Heaven's people, seeing this scene, are filled with utter despair.

The Heaven Elder, plus the Emperor puppet — neither is a match for the Tai Emperor?

"From the moment you laid hands on my Jun family, you should have had this awareness."

The Tai Emperor holds the Nine Dragons Divine Sword, his expression utterly indifferent.

The Heaven Elder lets out a cold laugh.

"I am unwilling — as long as I complete this job, I can obtain a great opportunity to extend my lifespan; then I could await a true chance for transcendence. What a pity..."

"I suppose this might be karma — after all, back then, for the Immortal Court, I killed so many people..."

The Heaven Elder's single sentence instantly makes all the watching powerhouses from surrounding forces widen their eyes, some daring not to believe their own ears.

"He... he's saying he killed for the Immortal Court?"

"What's going on?"

Ignoring the many shocked gazes around.

The Heaven Elder wears a bitter smile, muttering to himself.

"My Heaven, once the Immortal Court's assassination organization, now nearly annihilated — is the Immortal Court still unmoved?"

"Or is it that the contributions and sacrifices of my Heaven's ancestors when the Immortal Court was founded were all in vain!"
