170: Chapter 169 The Gap Between King and Sovereign

"The order of the Imperial Court is the truth. Donghuang, if you dare not fight, then watch honestly."

Xing Mu's words were extremely cold.

Her aura was immensely powerful; merely by existing, she caused the entire Ghost Realm to show signs of collapsing.

"Severing the past and future—Venerable Mu, what a good method. No wonder you suddenly vanished back then; it turns out you were Cultivating such a forbidden technique of heaven and earth."

In the blood coffin.

A look of wariness appeared in Donghuang's eyes.

Severing the past self and the future self, gathering the power of the past and future into the present self—this is a forbidden technique.

Even his father.

Known as the existence closest to the Taboo Emperor, he did not dare to attempt it easily.

After all, the past self and future self are extremely special; although they are the same person, in terms of personality, they are completely different from oneself.

Even if the severing is successful and the power of the three selves is united.

There would still be tremendous risks.

This is not just a Fusion of power, but the forced condensation of three different personalities into one.

Since the opening of heaven and earth.

No one has ever truly succeeded.

If successful, I fear power surpassing the Venerable Realm would emerge.

Moreover, this Venerable Mu's future self is actually trying to merge with the Main World right now; it would be fine if it failed, but if it succeeded and then merged with the present self.

It is simply unimaginable.

How strong would Venerable Mu, who already possesses power comparable to the Venerable Realm, become?

Perhaps, she could reach the Realm his father was in back then.

After a long silence.

Donghuang spoke coldly: "The Main World is not so easy to devour. Even if the Human Emperor is blocking in the River of Time, do you really think this world is just like this?"

As the words fell.

In the Main World.

The heavy pupils that were frantically performing Fusion with the Dao suddenly trembled.

A stream of black Qi surged from underground.

It shrouded toward the eyes in the firmament.

Rolling thick fog covered the world.

Amidst this pitch-black fog, a terrifying figure bound by chains stepped out slowly.

It looked at the eyes above the firmament.

It furrowed its brows.

"The Main World has not yet been fully perfected, yet you are so impatient to merge. Are you afraid of us returning?"

The voice was cold and hoarse.

At the same time.

A glow of rosy clouds fell from the endless Void Realm into the Main World.

A cold woman walked out from the rosy clouds; her aura was as vast as an abyss, and her strength was terrifying.

"This era is still the era of the Imperial Court. Who disagrees?"

As the words fell.

Xing Mu and the Blade Master both descended above the firmament, together with the cold woman, suppressing all disturbances in the Main World.

"Great Heavenly Venerable, Blade Master, Venerable Mu—the Imperial Court certainly had a good plan for today."

The figure bound by chains did not take the three of them too seriously.

It stepped forward slowly.

The terrifying aura suppressed the world. The Dao that was still frantically gathering suddenly shook under this aura, moving from motion to stillness, and came to a complete halt.

The heavy pupils above the firmament.

Closed slowly.

"Zui, since you have already stopped asking about worldly affairs, why intervene in the matters of the Main World again?"

The Blade Master's expression was somewhat solemn.

He was not surprised that there were Supreme Realm experts sleeping in the Main World.

But he did not expect that an existence who had reached the Supreme Position would still be in the Main World, which made things a bit tricky.

"You have never seen what Gu looked like back then; do you know why he slaughtered Supreme Realm experts? No, you know nothing. A bunch of guys who don't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, vainly trying to walk Gu's path again."

Zui's voice was very cold.

Clearly, it did not intend to let the Imperial Court continue.

Great Xia Royal Palace.

Ji Xingyue watched the standoff in the firmament, a hint of a smile appearing on her face, which was as beautiful as a banished immortal's.

In this short time.

She had already performed Fusion with one-tenth of the countless Dao of the Main World; that is to say, she had already grasped one-tenth of the power of the Main World.

This power was enough for her to do some things she wanted to do.

The endless Void Realm and the power of the extreme north were trembling.

A large amount of the power of the Main World was frantically pouring into the Return Ruins.

At this moment.

The Return Ruins opened wide.

The huge corpse lying in the Return Ruins, after absorbing the power of the Main World, suddenly gave birth to countless forces of death.

Under the collision of the two forces.

The entire world was trembling, and an indescribable great power reappeared within the corpse.

Hum…

The Return Ruins were vibrating.

Countless Crawlers rushed out of the blockade of the Return Ruins, entered the endless Void Realm, and quickly disappeared.

Subsequently.

A pair of heavy pupils opened in the Return Ruins.

That great power, combined from the power of the Main World and the power of death, was controlled by Ji Xingyue at this moment.

It rushed toward the Sea of Consciousness of the corpse.

There was a world there, and Ye Xiu was sitting cross-legged on a mountain Peak, Cultivating quietly.

Boom…

That great power surged into Ye Xiu's body.

It vanished in an instant.

Looking at Ye Xiu, who looked up in confusion, Ji Xingyue sighed slightly: "General, this is the last thing this young lady can do for you."

After doing all this.

The control over the Main World was completely exhausted.

The Return Ruins closed again.

"Your future self, I fear it cannot be severed."

Donghuang spoke with a hint of mockery.

Above the firmament.

Xing Mu looked toward the Return Ruins; everything there was covered, but she could still feel Ye Xiu's aura.

Her cold expression changed several times.

Finally, she spoke faintly toward the Great Xia Royal Palace: "Continue with your business; the Imperial Court will solve all other problems for you."

Ji Xingyue said nothing.

The heavy pupils opened again in the firmament, and terrifying devouring power appeared in the Main World again. Strips of Dao were manifesting and merging toward the heavy pupils.

"It seems that over endless years, the world has forgotten who I am."

Zui spoke hoarsely.

The black power turned into a giant hand covering the sky and grabbed toward the Great Xia Royal Palace.

But right at this moment.

The Blade Master moved.

After a stream of Saber Qi shattered the giant hand.

He spoke with Battle Intent: "I would like to see where the gap between the King and the Venerable truly lies."

"Heh… I wonder if the Human Emperor will return if I kill you. It has been a long time since I last fought with someone of the Venerable Realm; my hands are a bit itchy." Zui said expressionlessly.

Subsequently.

The two looked at each other.

They disappeared from the Main World with great tacit understanding.

In just a moment.

A certain area of the Chaos World began to tremble violently; clearly, an unimaginably terrifying battle had erupted.

Watching the battle erupting in the depths of the Chaos.

Xing Mu and the Great Heavenly Venerable both furrowed their brows; the gap between the King and the Venerable is huge.

Even though Sword Lord Li Si had long reached the Peak King Realm.

But Zui was one of the oldest Supreme Positions; his strength was probably not much different from the Human Emperor.

"Venerable Mu, Zui's strength is not low. If you don't provide support, be careful of the Blade Master being lost here." Donghuang's mocking voice rang out above the firmament.

Xing Mu ignored Donghuang.

She stared at the somewhat unstable Main World.

The untraceable River of Time had already revealed a blurred outline.
