183: With the enemy at the city gates, their might was overwhelming.
"Power above the Fifth Tier?"
Inside the Golden Throne Hall, the civil and military officials who had just recovered from the monstrous storm were shocked once again upon hearing this!
The Fifth Tier!
That is power that only a Spirit Transformation True Monarch can wield!
How could a mere remote Prefecture City in the Southern Frontier attract such a terrifying existence?!
"The Ziwei Ominous Star..."
Upon the throne, Immortal Emperor contemplated for a moment and immediately understood!
It's the Shen Family!
Those old undying members of the Song Family have made their move!
They actually dared to secretly use Soul Transformation-level power to slaughter the Immortal Dynasty's territory before the Imperial Decree was even issued!
This is a provocation!
This is a blatant challenge to the supreme authority of him, the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty!
"Good! Very good!"
A Killing Intent that was cold to the extreme flashed in Immortal Emperor's eyes!
He gave a solemn order to Southern Frontier Inspector, who was kneeling below!
"Southern Frontier Inspector, heed my command!"
"Your subject is present!"
"I command you to immediately take my 'Immortal Emperor Dragon Talisman' and mobilize all Black Armored Imperial Guards in the Southern Frontier to swiftly reinforce Qingzhou!"
"I want to see just how far the Song Family's reach extends!"
As he spoke, he unfastened a golden Dragon Talisman from his waist, which was carved with nine Five-clawed Golden Dragons and radiated supreme imperial majesty, and tossed it to Southern Frontier Inspector!
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Southern Frontier Inspector received the heavy Dragon Talisman and felt a surge of hot blood rush straight to his head!
He knew that from this moment on, he would represent the will of the Immortal Emperor!
...Qingzhou City.
The heaven burning tower ship, which resembled a moving volcano, quietly hovered above the city.
The Purple Blazing Flames burning on the hull reflected half the sky in an eerie purple.
On the ship's bow, Song Xuanyi stood with his hands behind his back. His seemingly murky old eyes were now like two cold stars, indifferently looking down at the city below, which, in his view, was no different from an ant nest.
Behind him, two Late Nascent Soul Stage Elders with unfathomable auras, along with thirty Ziyang Battle Guards clad in Heavy Purple Armor and radiating sky-high Killing Intent, stood solemnly, awaiting the Old Ancestor's command.
"Hmph, it does have some tricks."
Song Xuanyi glanced at the barrier of the City Protecting Grand Formation below, which was stubbornly holding up and flickering with five-colored precious light, and a hint of disdain flashed across his face.
"A mere Fourth Tier Formation dares to show off before this Venerable One?"
He did not immediately order an attack.
Because, that would be meaningless.
What he wanted was not simply to crush these ants.
What he wanted was for them to be completely destroyed, little by little, amidst endless fear and despair!
He wanted the entire Southern Frontier, and even the entire Tianyuan Continent, to know the consequences of offending his Ziyang Song Family!
He slowly raised his head, and his boundless Divine Sense, containing a trace of Nascent Soul Divine Charm, descended like an invisible tide!
"Shen Family brat, roll out and face death!"
His voice was not loud, yet it seemed like a Divine Oracle from the Nine Heavens, ignoring the obstruction of the City Protecting Grand Formation and exploding loudly within the minds of every Cultivator in Qingzhou City!
"I give you ten breaths of time!"
"If you do not execute yourself before the Formation, this Venerable One will refine this city into a Land of Glazed Death!"
Boom!
This voice was like a Heavenly Edict!
Inside the city, countless Cultivators whose cultivation was below the Foundation Establishment Stage, under the impact of this terrifying Divine Sense...
didn't even have time to scream before blood flowed from their Seven Orifices, their Divine Souls were violently shattered, and they fainted!
Inside the Shen Family Main Residence, Shen Qiming, Shen Zongdao, and others were pressed so hard by this terrifying Coercion that their faces turned pale, and they couldn't even muster the strength to move a finger!
Half-step Soul Transformation!
This... is this the might of Half-step Soul Transformation?!
Just a single Divine Thought was enough to make them, Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, completely lose the power to resist!
It's over!
This time, it's truly over!
Endless despair rose in everyone's hearts!
However, amidst this silence and despair that was enough to crush everything...
a voice, so calm it carried no trace of emotion, slowly echoed from the top of the City Lord's Mansion's highest pavilion.
The voice was not loud, yet it was like the Sharpest Blade, easily tearing apart the Divine Sense pressure that Song Xuanyi had cast over the entire city!
"Song Family old dog, you're quite old, but your temper is certainly fiery."
"What, do all people of your Song Family like to shout a few times before fighting?"
As the voice rang out, a tall Figure in a Green Robe silently appeared atop the pavilion.
It was Shen Yuanmo!
He stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the scorching heatwave, and even carried a faint smile on his face.
It was as if he wasn't facing a Half-step Soul Transformation old monster, nor a War Magic Treasure capable of burning down the heavens and earth.
Once these words were uttered, the entire city was astonished!
The Cultivators who were lucky enough not to be knocked unconscious all looked at the Figure in a Green Robe with eyes that regarded him like a Deity!
He's crazy!
This Grand Elder of the Shen Family must be insane!
He actually dared to provoke a Half-step Soul Transformation Old Monster like this!
"Hmm?"
Above the sky, on the bow of the heaven burning tower ship, Song Xuanyi's pupils suddenly contracted!
For the first time, a trace of genuine surprise appeared on his eternally calm face.
What surprised him was not that the opponent dared to talk back.
But the Divine Sense the opponent used for Voice Transmission!
What condensed! What pure Divine Sense!
Although the strength of this Divine Sense had not yet reached the level of Great Perfection of Nascent Soul Stage...
its degree of condensation was several times stronger than any Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator he had ever seen!
Interesting!
A hint of Amusement flashed in Song Xuanyi's eyes.
His boundless Divine Sense, containing a trace of Nascent Soul Divine Charm, instantly swept towards Shen Yuanmo below like an invisible Sharp Sword!
He wanted to see just Who the hell this brat who dared to speak to him like this was!
However, the next moment.
When his Divine Sense swept over Shen Yuanmo's body...
Song Xuanyi's perpetually cold face completely froze!
His pair of murky old eyes instantly widened!
His eyes were filled with incomprehensible, bone-deep... Horror!
Golden Core!
Golden Core Great Perfection!
What did he see?!
That brat who dared to insult him face-to-face, that brat who possessed Divine Sense comparable to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, his cultivation level was actually... actually still a damn Golden Core!
How is this possible?!
How did a golden core ant kill Venerable Elder of the Ziyang Song Clan and the other two?!
Where did a golden core ant get the Audacity to be so presumptuous in front of him?!
Boom!
An unprecedented Sense of Humiliation from being provoked by an ant instantly erupted in Song Xuanyi's heart like the fiercest volcano!
"What audacity!"
"What a Reckless golden core ant!"
Song Xuanyi's gaunt face completely twisted due to extreme rage. Pointing at Shen Yuanmo below, he let out a roar capable of tearing the sky apart!
"Who! Who gave you the Courage!!"
He felt that he had suffered unprecedented humiliation!
He, a dignified Half-step Soul Transformation expert, was actually pointed at and called an old dog by a golden core ant in front of the entire city!
"Since you are in such a hurry to die!"
"Then this Venerable One shall first give you an Appetizer!"
Song Xuanyi suddenly raised his hand and pointed toward the enormous, Ferocious Beast Head on the bow of the heaven burning tower ship, which was burning with blazing purple flames and resembled a purple sun!
"Main Cannon, 'Purple Flame World Extinguishing Light,' charge!"
"Target, that Turtle Shell below!"
"For this Venerable One, shatter it with one strike!"
