Chapter 983

To be honest, Emperor Miaozhang could have her current cultivation and status, so her intelligence was absolutely top-notch.

Hearing Emperor Emperor Du Yue say this, she already felt like she had been set up.

She could feel Emperor Emperor Du Yue's absolute confidence in Xu Jin.

She could feel that Emperor Emperor Du Yue said this just to put her on the spot and then plot to obtain the incomparably precious Innate Jin Yun in her hands.

But the problem was that things had reached this point, and she could no longer retreat.

Among Emperors, face is the most important thing.

If she backed down because of Emperor Emperor Du Yue's wager, then tomorrow, the entire Thousand Star Alliance would hear that Emperor Miaozhang's group of True Person disciples had been scared off by a small Star-Governing True Person disciple of Emperor Fenghua.

She would lose face, and her disciples would be even more humiliated.

Therefore, at this very moment, she had no choice but to accept the challenge.

For one thing, she felt it was possible that Emperor Emperor Du Yue was bluffing.

Furthermore, even if this Xu Jin was very strong, he couldn't be strong to such an outrageous degree.

The disciples under her command included not only eight-tribulation True Persons but also limit-breaking True Persons.

Of course, in the worst-case scenario, she would lose.

If she truly lost, she would accept it.

An Innate Jin Yun was only sixty years of her effort, after all.

"Innate Jin Yun it is; it's only less than sixty years of effort. Emperor Du Yue, if you lose, your Chaos Isolated Island will lose a hundred years!" Emperor Miaozhang agreed directly.

"Sister is still as straightforward as ever." Emperor Emperor Du Yue first flattered her, then added, "Then let the juniors spar next.

However, it would be best if Sister took action to add a life-substitution protection.

After all, these disciples are our treasures; if they accidentally damage their foundations, it would be heartbreaking," Emperor Emperor Du Yue said.

"That is acceptable."

Emperor Miaozhang agreed to this proposal and casually suggested, "Then how about we each exchange and apply a life-substitution protection to the juniors that matches their cultivation base?"

Xu Jin wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Emperor Emperor Du Yue with a look.

Fine, he still had to leave some face for Emperor Miaozhang.

Immediately, Xu Jin and Li Ziyun were each shrouded in a layer of life-substitution starlight protection added by the Emperors.

The next moment, with a wave of Emperor Miaozhang's hand, starlight scattered from within her Imperial Palace, and a formation practice arena immediately rose in the center of the magnificent palace.

The moment Xu Jin and Li Ziyun stepped into the arena and their natal treasures and natal killing weapons rose, Emperor Miaozhang turned her head again to confirm, "Emperor Du Yue, no holds barred?"

"No holds barred!"

"Prepare yourselves!"

Emperor Miaozhang gave a light shout, and a light screen with a countdown immediately rose before Xu Jin and Li Ziyun.

"Brother Xu, although there is a huge gap in our cultivation bases, this concerns my Master's supreme treasure and my sect's reputation. In this battle, I will not hold back at all!" Li Ziyun said, cupping his hands.

"You had better not hold back at all, otherwise, you will regret it!" Xu Jin said.

"Please!"

"Please!"

As the two cupped their hands, they waited for the countdown to end.

In fact, this kind of arena battle with limited space imposes huge restrictions on cultivators like Xu Jin who specialize in speed and space.

However, Xu Jin is now bold because of his skills, and he didn't care about any of this at all.

Just as Emperor Miaozhang said, it was Li Ziyun's freedom to like Ning Yuchan, so it was also Xu Jin's freedom to give him a profoundly deep lesson during the battle.

With a movement of his divine sense, his Chaos Cloud Tower and Chaos Thunder Spear—two natal treasures—appeared simultaneously.

The moment these two natal treasures appeared, Emperor Miaozhang's heart skipped a beat, and she had a feeling that something was wrong.

Especially the aura of Xu Jin's little tower; it was incomparably profound, and even she could not see through it.

The next moment, the countdown between Xu Jin and Li Ziyun ended.

Almost the instant the countdown ended, the space of Xu Jin's Chaos Cloud Tower flashed, and the moment it vanished, it appeared directly above Li Ziyun's head.

The moment it appeared, the Chaos Cloud Tower expanded in the wind, and as Chaos Star Power spewed out, hundreds of laws and Great Daos inside operated simultaneously, suppressing Li Ziyun from above.

The rule-based Dao technique that Li Ziyun was exerting with all his might had just risen, and the moment it touched the Chaos Cloud Tower, it was like an egg hitting a rock, shattering instantly.

As it suppressed downward like lightning, Li Ziyun was horrified, and his Metal-type natal killing weapon, a long spear, erupted with blinding golden light. Amidst the piercing sound of breaking through the air, Li Ziyun urged his natal killing weapon, and with a single thrust as if to shatter the firmament, he struck at Xu Jin's Chaos Cloud Tower.

Boom!

The Chaos Cloud Tower, suppressing downward like lightning, collided violently with his snow-white long spear.

It should have been a situation where the long spear broke the surface with a single point.

But his natal killing weapon seemed to have struck the hardest giant shield; with a hum and the ringing of the spear, the starlight dissipated, and it instantly turned into a stream of light and escaped into Li Ziyun's body.

The moment blood gushed from the corner of Li Ziyun's mouth, the Chaos Cloud Tower had already pressed down on his head.

In an instant, it crushed his protective starlight, and at the same time, the life-substitution protection added by Emperor Emperor Du Yue on his body shattered instantly.

All of this happened too suddenly; Li Ziyun hadn't even reacted before he was defeated.

Or rather, by instinct, his second natal killing weapon was instantly swung out.

"Enough!"

Emperor Miaozhang's sharp shout reached Li Ziyun's Divine Infant instantly.

A single sharp shout directly caused Li Ziyun to fall out of his combat state.

"Ziyun, you have lost!" Emperor Miaozhang said in a deep voice.

"Master, I..."

Just as Li Ziyun wanted to say something, he suddenly discovered another natal treasure of Xu Jin's hanging beside him.

That was a thunder spear wrapped in thunder, with an extremely terrifying aura.

At this very moment, several terrifying thunderbolts were spitting out on the spear, hanging high above his head, yet held back and not released!

In an instant, Li Ziyun was drenched in sweat, and all the blood drained from his face!

Only then did he realize that not only had he lost, but he had also walked through the gates of hell.

In other words, if it had been an actual battle, he would be dead by now!

The kind where his soul would have scattered in an instant, and he wouldn't even know how he died!

"Brother Xu, I... have lost!"

Li Ziyun was directly suppressed to the ground by the Chaos Cloud Tower, admitting defeat in an extremely wretched state.

Hearing Li Ziyun admit defeat with his own mouth, Xu Jin's Chaos Cloud Tower retracted with a hum, but the thunder on the Chaos Thunder Spear was still crackling, making Li Ziyun's hair stand on end before the spear flashed and returned!

Only at this very moment did Ning Yuchan and the other fellow disciples of Emperor Miaozhang wake up as if from a dream.
