Chapter 242: A Terrifying Great Enemy

Grand Void Imperial Lord!

One of the Nine Great Imperial Lords!

Although he had already mentally prepared himself, knowing that his father's peerless great enemy must be a terrifying existence standing at the pinnacle of Zhutian.

But when the four words 'Grand Void Imperial Lord' truly came out of the Battle Saint Emperor's mouth.

Ye Wuque still felt his mind violently shaken.

As if an invisible heavy hammer had ruthlessly struck his soul!

Imperial!

Lord!

These two words, in the cultivation world, each carries supreme weight and Causality.

They represent the ultimate in a certain domain, a venerable seat acknowledged by the Tiandao!

For ordinary beings, no matter how strong their strength, if they lack the corresponding destiny, power, and Causality, and presumptuously call themselves Lord or Emperor, they will surely suffer heavenly punishment and backlash!

And those who can combine 'Imperial' and 'Lord' into one, making it their unique title, are invariably true supreme existences standing at the very pinnacle of the Zhutian Wanjie pyramid, overlooking Wan Gu Lun Hui, and controlling endless birth and destruction!

Ye Wuque took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

His father's opponent was indeed so powerful it was suffocating.

At the same time, he also caught another key piece of information... the Honghuang World!

"The Honghuang World... what kind of place is that?"

Ye Wuque pressed further.

Miao Miao Xianzi had once said.

This world is vast; Liuhe Bahuang, Nine Heavens Ten Lands, Heaven Earth Xuanhuang, Cosmos Honghuang, are all real places that exist.

Could it be that the 'Honghuang' in that phrase refers to the Honghuang World?!

The Battle Saint Emperor explained:

"The Honghuang World is a top-tier great realm, independent of the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, equally vast and boundless, ancient and long-standing!"

"Its majesty and breadth are in no way inferior to the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, and in some aspects, it even surpasses them!"

"It is a truly ancient land, resplendent and glorious!"

Light flickered in Ye Wuque's eyes, and a sense of yearning and awe for the vast heavens and earth rose in his heart.

Indeed, the world was far larger than he had previously imagined.

The Nine Heavens Ten Lands were not everything; there were also ancient realms like the Honghuang World that were in no way inferior.

"And the Honghuang World is jointly governed by nine invincible, terrifying existences who form the Nine Great Imperial Lords, shaking the myriad epochs of Zhutian!"

The Battle Saint Emperor continued, his tone grave.

"Each Imperial Lord is a supreme Titan overlooking the epochs of ten thousand ages, renowned throughout Zhutian Huanyu!"

"And the Grand Void Imperial Lord... is the youngest among the Nine Great Imperial Lords, but also, he is recognized as the most brilliant, with the most terrifying potential!"

He did not hide his acknowledgment of this terrifying great enemy's power, even carrying a hint of complex emotion:

"According to the speculations of many Ancient Entities, barring any accidents, given time, the Grand Void Imperial Lord is extremely likely to become the... number one among the Nine Great Imperial Lords!"

These words weighed on Ye Wuque's heart like heavy mountains.

But his eyes did not reveal the slightest fear or discouragement; instead, deep within his pitch-black pupils, a fiercer and more determined flame ignited.

The stronger the opponent, the more it could ignite his Fighting Spirit!

His father's enemy was his enemy!

Moreover, back then, his Three-Year-Old Tribulation seemed to have the hidden hand of this Grand Void Imperial Lord behind it!

This was a blood-deep, irreconcilable enmity!

He silently made a vow in his heart: one day, he would personally set foot in the Honghuang World, stand before that Grand Void Imperial Lord, and settle all this Causality!

To share his father's burden, and also... to collect that old debt!

The Battle Saint Emperor looked at the light in Ye Wuque's eyes that was not only undaunted but growing ever brighter and more resolute, and a smile of appreciation appeared on his unruly face.

"Young Master, having this spirit in your heart makes me very gratified. But remember, the path must be walked step by step."

"That Grand Void Imperial Lord is still too distant and powerful for you right now."

"Since he has already set his sights on you, you must be extremely careful in your future actions, and prioritize caution."

"Furthermore, the three clans—the Golden-Winged Great Peng, the Sun-Devouring Sky Serpent, and the Ancient Overlord Tiger—though they have retreated today, are by no means willing to do so."

"They will absolutely not let the matter rest, especially that motley-feathered bird clan; they will surely cling like a stubborn bone, trying every means to take revenge on you!"

"Open attacks are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to defend against. You must always be vigilant."

Ye Wuque nodded heavily, engraving every word of the Battle Saint Emperor's admonition in his heart: "Senior, rest assured, this junior understands. If they dare to come again, I will send them on their way with my fists!"

The Battle Saint Emperor grinned, patted Ye Wuque on the shoulder, and said, "Good. Let's go. First, back to the Ape Clan's Ancestral Land. There are some matters that still need careful deliberation."

Thereupon, the Battle Saint Emperor, Ye Wuque, and the members of the Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan turned into streaks of light, leaving this highly conspicuous starry sky and heading towards the Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan's Ancestral Land.
