129: Divine Artifact, the first sect leader fell!

Finally, after a joint discussion among several Old Ancestors, it was decided to first explore Heavenly Dragon Abyss to gauge the Chu Clan's attitude towards their newly submitted forces.

If their attitude was too overbearing or rigid, then they would just wait a bit longer to Breakthrough to Emperor Realm!

......

The battle in the starry sky continued.

Boom!

Saint Yang Martial Emperor's body exploded.

He was blown apart by Chu Yan's punch, his Divine Soul completely annihilated!

Wu Fu and the others' eyes were bloodshot with rage and hatred.

The opponent had actually counter-killed Saint Yang Martial Emperor under the siege of several Martial Emperors!

And even more terrifying was that after battling for so long, the opponent was still completely unharmed!

In contrast, Saint Yang Martial Emperor had fallen, and their own bodies were scorched and covered in wounds!

The convergence of the Nine Heavenly Flames was truly extraordinary in power!

"Hahaha, you Hell Gate Martial Emperors are truly useless!" Chu Yan laughed, his voice like thunder, echoing through the Nine Heavens!

"I'll kill you!" Wu Fu roared in anger, his scorched hair flying wildly.

His Emperor Weapon appeared, a lifelike dark-golden True Dragon coiled above his head, roaring and brandishing its claws, then swooping down to attack Chu Yan!

"Is this a Divine Dragon? No, there's no life aura!" Chu Yan was surprised, because this Divine Dragon was identical to the Beast God, and he had thought it was a real Dragon Clan member!

Watching the Divine Dragon swoop down, Chu Yan swung his flame-burning Emperor Fist to meet it.

Seeing this, Wu Fu's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Ignorance is bliss!"

The Emperor Fist collided with the Golden Dragon, and with a 'bang', Chu Yan's entire arm completely exploded under the Golden Dragon.

"Is this a Divine Artifact?" His voice was filled with astonishment as he looked incredulously at the Golden Dragon before him.

"Heh heh, yes, this is indeed a Divine Artifact!"

"This is a weapon refined by a Senior of my Hell Gate in ancient times from the corpse of a True Dragon. As the Eternal ruler of the Human Realm, you wouldn't really think my Hell Gate has no heritage, would you!" Wu Fu sneered.

This was a Divine Artifact that only the First Sect Leader of their Hell Gate had been able to wield throughout its history, and it had rarely been used since ancient times.

"I'll give you two choices: either join my Hell Gate, or die!" Wu Fu said in a deep voice.

Chu Yan, however, sneered: "To be able to control a Divine Artifact, does that mean your position in Hell Gate is very high?"

"Hmph, to tell you the truth, I am the First Sect Leader of Hell Gate. You can also see me as the highest authority of Hell Gate in the Human Realm!"

"To be personally invited by me, this is an honor many people dream of!"

"And with your strength, it's not impossible for you to become the Sect Leader of my Hell Gate in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan burst into laughter, his eyes instantly blazing with light: "I've caught a big fish! If you, the First Sect Leader, were to fall, it would surely shake the Human Realm!"

As he spoke, a white flame emerged from between his eyebrows.

The terrifying high temperature instantly made the surrounding starry sky boil.

It was precisely the Divine Flame obtained from Lingxu Grotto-Heaven—the Azure Sky Void Flame—and it was a Divine Flame that could unleash its full power!

"What is this?" Wu Fu's Face suddenly changed.

Why was the aura on the opponent's body so similar to those Martial God powerhouses from the Saint Realm?

"Impossible, how could such an existence appear in the Human Realm?" Wu Fu roared.

He didn't believe that so many Martial Gods could be born in the Human Realm, and immediately controlled the Golden Dragon to attack.

The Azure Sky Void Flame erupted like a volcano, transforming into a massive spherical barrier that instantly enveloped Wu Fu and the other Martial Emperors.

"My luck today is truly good; I actually met the First Sect Leader of Hell Gate!" Chu Yan walked forward, and the range of the Azure Sky Void Flame barrier gradually shrank.

A Martial Emperor, holding an Emperor Weapon, slashed at the barrier, but at the moment of contact, that Martial Emperor and Emperor Weapon instantly turned into Void Realm without even a chance to scream.

This scene terrified the other Martial Emperors.

A Martial Emperor at Perfection was instantly gone?

At this moment, the remaining Martial Emperors involuntarily moved closer to Wu Fu.

Now, perhaps only the First Sect Leader, holding the Divine Artifact, could save them!

Watching the Golden Dragon roar towards him with boundless might, Chu Yan's eyes sharpened.

The Azure Sky Void Flame also instantly transformed into a fire Dragon and charged forward.

It was just a Divine Artifact; his Divine Flame couldn't fail to destroy it.

However, just as it approached, the fire Dragon suddenly changed, transforming into three white fire rings that trapped the Golden Dragon.

Because Chu Yan thought that he seemed to not yet have a Natal Spiritual Artifact, and this Golden Dragon Divine Artifact seemed quite good!

The Divine Flame's power was very strong; even the Divine Artifact, which was refined from a True Dragon's corpse, showed signs of melting the moment it was enveloped.

This made Wu Fu and the others gasp, their Faces turning pale.

Even a Divine Artifact couldn't defeat the opponent!

"Saint Emissary, help!" Realizing he had no chance of winning, Wu Fu directly activated his call-for-help mode, hoping that someone, a Saint Emissary stationed at Hell Gate, could intervene.

Indeed, in the next instant, someone made a move.

It was a powerhouse of the Longevity Realm, whose large hand tore through the Void Realm and grabbed towards the Azure Sky Void Flame.

However, the opponent's main goal was actually for the Divine Flame!

"You want to save someone from my hands? You must be dreaming!" Chu Yan snorted coldly.

The white flames instantly swept out like a tidal wave, engulfing Wu Fu and the others amidst their terrified screams.

"Courting death!" An angry roar came.

The Longevity Realm powerhouse was enraged.

Even with his intervention, the First Sect Leader was still killed.

Where would his Face go?

However, facing the giant hand that blotted out the sky and pressed down, Chu Yan showed no fear.

He controlled the Azure Sky Void Flame to transform into a fire Dragon and charged towards the opponent.

Boom!

The white fire Dragon collided with the giant hand, and powerful energy surged in all directions.

Ah!

A scream resounded out of nowhere.

That giant hand was actually completely incinerated.

The reason Chu Yan had such confidence was because the aura of this attacker was much weaker than that of the Sovereign Realm Ancient Ancestors he had fought in Lingxu Grotto-Heaven.

And if the Divine Flame could even burn Sovereign Realm, let alone someone much weaker than Sovereign Realm!

"Hmph! Wait until I emerge from the Undying Fire Sea, then I'll slowly settle the score with you!" Chu Yan snorted coldly.

Then he shouted down towards the Human Realm below: "The First Sect Leader of Hell Gate is dead! Hell Gate shall be destroyed!"

His shouted words transformed into a wave of Qi that spread down to the Human Realm below.

His voice, like thunder, resonated in the ears of many powerhouses, causing many to change color drastically!

"The First Sect Leader of Hell Gate is dead?"

Chu Yan's battle in the starry sky had attracted the attention of many, and coupled with his loud shout at this moment, it completely ignited the Human Realm.

"This era will undergo massive changes; we must Breakthrough to Emperor Realm!"

"Otherwise, we will just fade into obscurity!"

Many old antiques began to enter seclusion, preparing to assault the Emperor Realm.

Many Martial Saints at Perfection in the Human Realm had accumulated power in this Realm for countless years and were fully capable of assaulting the Emperor Realm.

They were just suppressed and dared not Breakthrough.

Now, many people saw an opportunity and felt they could no longer wait, nor did they want to wait!

The deeper the oppression, the more intense the resistance!

And the Chu Clan had precisely torn open a gap for these people, providing a way out for those Martial Artists who had been suppressed all this time!
