533: The death of Jian Lingtian enraged all the emperors!
The next day!
Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperor Cangqiong formed one group, Nine Heavens and Jian Lingtian formed another, and Tide and Shennong Immortal Emperor formed the third as they began their operation.
Su Ming arrived in his private cultivation room.
"Start simulation!"
【Simulation Start!】
【On the second day, you find yourself consistently unable to enter a state of secluded meditation.】
【You sit cross-legged in the secret chamber, circulating your Cultivation Technique, but find it difficult to calm your mind.】
【An inexplicable sense of irritability haunts your heart.】
【You open your eyes, your brow furrowed.】
【"Something isn't right."】
【You mutter to yourself; this feeling is very familiar to you.】
【Every time before a major event occurs, there are similar omens.】
【On the third day, you give up on your seclusion and walk out of the secret chamber.】
【Everything within the Sacred Heaven Sect is as usual; the Disciples are Cultivating step by step, and the Elders are handling Sect affairs.】
【You stand atop the Main Peak, gazing into the distance.】
【The Azure Sky Immortal Domain is vast and boundless, filled with misty Immortal Qi. It appears peaceful, but in reality, undercurrents are surging.】
【"I hope I'm just overthinking it,"】
【You say softly, but the unease in your heart grows even heavier.】
【On the tenth day, there is still no news.】
【On the thirtieth day, you begin to set up more defensive Formations within the Sacred Heaven Sect, using this as a way to find a place for seclusion in different locations.】
【However, for some reason, you are always restless and unable to enter a state of secluded meditation.】
【On the one hundredth day, your cultivation actually improves slightly amidst your anxiety, but that sense of unease never dissipates.】
【On the three hundred and sixty-fifth day, a full year has passed.】
【A year has gone by, and still, no news has arrived.】
【In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.】
【On this day, a terrifying Immortal Emperors Might suddenly emanates from the horizon.】
【You instantly appear outside the mountain gate of the Sacred Heaven Sect.】
【Two figures descend from the sky; the newcomers are none other than Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperor Cangqiong.】
【Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor's clothes are stained with blood, but his aura is stable, and there is a smile on his face.】
【"Young Friend Su, this time is all thanks to you!"】
【"That Eerie Immortal Emperor of the Vast Dao Fruit has been slain by the two of us working together!"】
【"That fellow's strength was indeed formidable. Had Azure Sky and I not joined forces, it would have been truly difficult to take him down."】
【Immediately following that, Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor brings you another piece of good news.】
【Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor tells you that they took the opportunity to completely wipe out the Cangmang Dao Palace and seized the cultivation resources they had stolen.】
【"Take this!"】
【As his voice falls, Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor tosses a Storage Ring to you.】
【You take the Storage Ring and put it away immediately without looking at it.】
【Because at this moment, your sense of unease has not dissipated.】
【Next, you open your mouth to ask.】
【"Where are Senior Lingtian and the others?"】
【Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor shakes his head.】
【"We split up and haven't regrouped yet."】
【"However, according to the agreement, after killing the Eerie Immortal Emperor, they would come to the Sacred Heaven Sect to meet up. They should be back soon too."】
【Hearing this, your brow furrows slightly, feeling that something is wrong.】
【One month later!】
【Tide Immortal Emperor and Shennong Immortal Emperor return.】
// They have also completed their mission, slaying the Eerie Immortal Emperor of Sky City.
【But there is still no news of Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor and Jian Lingtian.】
【"Could they have run into trouble?"】
【Shennong Immortal Emperor asks worriedly.】
【"Let's wait a bit longer."】
【Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor says in a deep voice.】
【"The Eerie Immortal Emperor they were hunting is the strongest; it might take more time."】
【After waiting for another two months, there is still no news.】
【The third year!】
【At this point, you all begin to grow restless.】
【"I'm going to find them,"】
【Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor says to you.】
【"I'll go with you."】
【Seeing this, Immortal Emperor Cangqiong speaks up immediately.】
【Just as you are preparing to set out.】
【A weak immortal light streaks across the horizon.】
【A figure comes flying in, stumbling, covered in blood, with an aura that has withered to the extreme.】
【"Is that Sword One of the Immortal Sword Manor?"】
【Immortal Emperor Cangqiong exclaims.】
【You instantly appear in front of that figure and catch him.】
【Sword One opens his eyes, which are filled with despair and rage.】
【"Revered Master... Revered Master, he..."】
【"What happened to Jian Lingtian?!"】
【Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor asks sharply.】
【"Revered Master was... was ambushed and betrayed by that beast Nine Heavens, he has fallen!"】
【Sword One then spits out another mouthful of blood, his voice trembling.】
【"Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor... he betrayed the Human Race... and joined the Eerie Immortal Dynasty!"】
【Boom!】
【This news is like a bolt from the blue.】
【All the Immortal Emperors present are stunned.】
【"Impossible!"】
【Shennong Immortal Emperor says, losing his composure.】
【"Nine Heavens is an Immortal Emperor of the Human Race, how could he possibly join the Eerie?!"】
【"He only reached the Immortal Emperor Realm with our help!"】
【"It's true..."】
【Sword One gives a tragic laugh.】
【"I saw it with my own eyes... at that time we had already forced that Eerie Immortal Emperor into a corner and were about to kill him when Nine Heavens suddenly launched a sneak attack on Revered Master!"】
【"He said... he said the Eerie Immortal Dynasty promised him that if he helped them, they would give him all of your Dao Fruits to devour."】
【"Revered Master... Revered Master has already been devoured by Nine Heavens."】
【"Before Revered Master died, he fought with everything he had to let me escape, which is why I was able to return alive."】
【After saying this, Sword One's voice fades, and he falls completely unconscious.】
【Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor immediately steps forward to check his condition.】
【"He took a hit from Nine Heavens; he made it back purely on willpower."】
【"But fortunately, his life is not in danger."】
【Upon learning this news, you finally understand why you have been so restless these past few years.】
【During these three years, you have been waiting, you have been preparing.】
【But what you waited for was the worst possible news.】
【Jian Lingtian has fallen.】
【Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor has betrayed you.】
【The Human Race's Immortal Emperor combat power has instantly dropped from six to four.】
【What you cannot figure out is why Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor would betray you at this point in time.】
// You had originally thought to use Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor to kill the Eerie Immortal Emperor before revealing his betrayal.
【But despite all your calculations, you didn't expect him to betray you so quickly.】
【Now!】
【The Eerie Immortal Dynasty side has gained one more Human Race Immortal Emperor.】
【A four-versus-four situation has formed within the Vast Immortal Domain.】
【Furthermore, it is no longer possible for you to launch another surprise attack.】
【"Damn it!"】
【Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor roars, his Emperors Might erupting, causing the space for ten thousand miles around to tremble.】
【Tide Immortal Emperor's face is ashen.】
【"That beast Nine Heavens, I will slaughter him with my own hands!"】
【Immortal Emperor Cangqiong and Shennong Immortal Emperor are also full of rage.】
【"What should we do now?"】
【Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor looks at everyone.】
【Immortal Emperor Cangqiong raises his head, a cold light flashing in his eyes.】
【"What else can we do?"】
【"Since Nine Heavens has chosen betrayal, then it's a fight to the death."】
【"Jian Lingtian's revenge must be taken."】
