Chapter 665

Just see whether he is at odds with the Great Dragon Chief and the Qinglong Society."

In the battle of Divine Dragon Island, Emperor Shitian's Sacred Heart Technique displayed divine might.

If Liu Ruofei did not possess that nearly cheat-like Divine Stone, such experts could only be crushed by Emperor Shitian.

From this, it is clear that Emperor Shitian is no longer what he once was.

Upon hearing Emperor Shitian's reply, Senior Xiaoyaozi and Zhang Daoling exchanged a smile.

Knowing that this Qinglong Society guest minister, Mr. Xu, had already shaken off most of his inner demons.

The Great Dragon Chief is truly a wondrous person!

Even the servant he casually took under his wing could achieve such a feat.

"Then, in this battle, do you think he will win?"

Zhang Daoling's cultivation level was also far from low, yet he could not discern the outcome of this battle.

But he could see that if Wu Wudi continued to recklessly drain the heavenly and earthly qi, Yunzhou would surely face great upheaval.

"Wu Wudi is using heavenly and earthly qi so recklessly—Yunzhou cannot withstand it!"

Each province has its own fortune and feng shui, and its own heavenly and earthly qi.

The two complement each other!

Warriors may defy heaven, devour heavenly and earthly qi, reverse fortune, and reach the Shattered Realm or beyond.

Or they may follow heaven, draw upon heavenly and earthly qi, and align with fortune.

The former path is mostly followed by demonic and Xie Sect cultivators, for devouring qi and seizing fortune is to stand against heaven and earth.

Each time one steals more, the number of warriors capable of breakthroughs in the world naturally decreases.

Over time, such actions become intolerable to heaven and earth.

Hence, most martial arts lineages in the world emphasize harmony with heaven and earth.

But beginning at the Heavenly Being Realm, one begins to borrow heavenly and earthly qi.

At the supreme Mythical Realm, one can control a portion of heavenly and earthly qi.

Yet at the Shattered Realm, one commands heavenly and earthly qi at will.

Therefore, when Shattered Realm experts act, heavenly and earthly qi involuntarily respond to their call.

But the more they draw, the more they deplete—if the rate of consumption exceeds the rate of replenishment, problems will arise.

In a battle like Wu Wudi's against the wrathful eye in the heavens, the rate of heavenly and earthly qi depletion is visibly being worn away.

Even the three great experts atop Qinglong Peak could feel the heavenly and earthly qi of Yunzhou being frantically siphoned.

If this continues, problems are inevitable.

"The Yunzhou imperial family has its own forbidden methods."

Senior Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard with a light smile; though he did not know all the methods of such great powers, he knew they all possessed some.

When heavenly and earthly qi is depleted too much, Yunzhou's fortune will replenish itself.

The Yunzhou imperial family certainly will not sit idly by.

"The Fourth Dragon Chief, I fear the Yunzhou imperial family will not intervene!"

Emperor Shitian suddenly brightened, gazing toward a direction on Qinglong Peak.

Senior Xiaoyaozi and Zhang Daoling immediately sensed it, exchanging a smile.

Then, from atop Qinglong Peak, a sword qi surged into the heavens.

It sped rapidly toward Tianshan in Yunzhou.

Originally, all eyes in the world were fixed on the great battle at Tianshan in Yunzhou, curious about who was fighting, why, and who would win.

But when this sword qi pierced the sky, heading toward Tianshan in Yunzhou—

Everyone, every great power, knew this battle could not continue.

The sword qi moved with extreme speed; the moment it arose from Qinglong Peak, the world first sensed it.

By the time they began to discuss who the master of this sword qi was and why he had acted—

It had already crossed tens of thousands of li and appeared beyond Tianshan's perimeter.

Seeing the battle before him, which had drained the heavenly and earthly qi of a thousand li of Tianshan, leaving all life withered—

Beyond Tianshan's perimeter lay an invisible barrier.

The master of the sword qi uttered a soft command: "Open!"

The barrier split apart, and the sword qi and its master entered within.

"Enough!"

The master of the sword qi saw the battle ahead still raging.

The wrathful eye in the heavens continuously released rings of light, layer upon layer of pressure descending.

Wu Wudi continuously drew upon heavenly and earthly qi to counter with the Ten Strong Martial Arts.

The two supreme powers clashed, shaking Tianshan nearly to collapse.

Within a hundred li, apart from the man with the wrathful eye on his forehead and Jue Xin, no one remained alive.

Even birds, beasts, insects, and ants had perished.

This battle was truly too brutal!

If it continued, not only would Tianshan explode, but Yunzhou's fortune would be drained away!

Thus, its master roared, and in his hand appeared a sword jade, which he casually flung toward the wrathful eye in the heavens.

The wrathful eye, which had been locked in constant battle with Wu Wudi, suddenly sensed something.

It ceased releasing rings of light and turned toward the sword jade, its expression one of terror.

"Ximen Wudi, you again ruin my plans…"

Seeing the Sword Jade, it was clearly just an eye, yet it actually sent out a stream of consciousness, letting both the master of the sword Qi and Wu Wudi hear its voice.

That voice was like clanging metal, hoarse and unpleasant to hear.

Without its halo's suppression, Wu Wudi let out a furious roar, preparing to strike directly at that eye's true body with his Ten Supreme Martial Dao.

In Wu Wudi's heart, this eye was the Eye of the Lord of Heaven.

It was also that very Lord of Heaven who had once implicated his ancestors, causing them to be struck with a blood curse by Yunding Tian.

No descendant of the Wu family shall live past forty!

For all these years, he had painstakingly and single-mindedly pursued the pinnacle of the Martial Dao.

All for the sake of breaking this blood curse!

The reason others could not see his figure or appearance was precisely because he wished to conceal his form and evade the blood curse.

Now that the Lord of Heaven had "opened his eye," then let the Lord of Heaven have a proper taste of what it meant to be struck by the blood curse, unable to control one's own fate!

He, Wu Wudi, was a man who would defy the heavens!

"Enough!"

Seeing Wu Wudi once again madly draw a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Power, Tianshan withered further.

The master of the sword Qi could not help but feel a headache, and casually executed a move.

Twenty-Three of the Sentient Heaven and Earth Sword!

In an instant, a streak of sword Qi stretched between the violent eye and Wu Wudi.

With the Sword Jade's augmentation, that sword Qi actually blasted all the Heaven and Earth Origin Power Wu Wudi had drawn back into the world.

"Who are you? Why do you block me from seeking vengeance against that thief of a Lord of Heaven?"

Although he could not see Wu Wudi's appearance, the master of the sword Qi could clearly sense his fury.

Indeed!

Anyone who, because of the Lord of Heaven, was struck with a blood curse and could not live past forty generation after generation—

Anyone who saw the Lord of Heaven's eye would surely want to charge in for a round.

But that violent eye in the heavens was not the Lord of Heaven's!

The master of the sword Qi said with a bitter smile,

"Wu Wudi, I am Lu Wushuang City's Sword Saint Dugu Jian. On this occasion, I have descended to the lower realm under the orders of the Grand Dragon Head, precisely to come and dissuade you from your conflict with him."

So this person was precisely Dugu Jian, whose spirit body had been pulled into the Nine Void Realm, then followed Ximen Wudi to the Sword Realm, and now had returned because of this battle at Tianshan.

He first explained things to Wu Wudi, then looked again at the violent eye in the heavens,

"The Grand Dragon Head knows your purpose, and he also has me tell you that he will not interfere with the pieces you have placed across the Nine Provinces.
