426: The domineering Heavenly Emperor demands, he doesn't negotiate.
"How is that possible!?"
Mohetian's heart trembled, and he was on the verge of giving birth to a Heart Demon.
At the critical moment, a bottle inside his Supreme Sea emitted a black and white light, which allowed him to recover and protect his mind.
The bottle was named the Taiyi Yin-Yang Bottle, modeled after the Mohe Ancient Clan's clan-protecting Saint Grade Peerless Holy Item, the Mohe Yin-Yang Bottle, making it a Spirit Grade Peerless Holy Item.
This Magic Treasure Divine Item was something Mohetian had mastered before his Breakthrough to Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign. If he were to return to the clan now to accept the Legacy, he would have a chance to master the Mohe Yin-Yang Bottle.
"You... actually Broke through to Immortal Grade."
Mohetian regained his composure, turned to look at Chu Xiao, his eyes still holding disbelief.
Just over two years ago, Chu Xiao was only a Quasi-Heavenly Supreme, yet now he was at the Immortal Grade Early Stage, advancing a major step every year.
"If you can Break through to Spirit Grade, is there a problem with me Breaking through to Immortal Grade?"
Chu Xiao's gaze was indifferent, his eyes falling upon Mohetian's chest, where the Supreme Sea and Divine Soul were hidden.
"Not good!" The alarm bell rang loudly in Mohetian's heart, and he instinctively tried to control the Taiyi Yin-Yang Bottle to escape.
However, his speed was extremely slow in front of Chu Xiao, who had raised the proficiency of the Stars Shifting, one of the Thirty-Six Peerless Divine Abilities, to the Star Dipper Realm.
To be precise, Chu Xiao could glimpse a corner of the future and had already anticipated his actions.
"Stay put obediently!"
Chu Xiao reached out and patted Mohetian's shoulder.
In the next moment, Mohetian felt his Celestial Sovereign Spirit Body lose its connection to the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. At the same time, his Divine Soul could no longer control his Celestial Sovereign Spirit Body, nor could he condense a Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation, control the Taiyi Yin-Yang Bottle, or sense his Supreme Sea—he was like a cripple.
This feeling was familiar, exactly the same as what happened after he first met Chu Xiao.
The humiliation was so great that Mohetian almost generated another Heart Demon.
But Chu Xiao didn't care about his thoughts. He shifted his gaze, saw through the Void Realm to the side, and raised his hand, throwing out the Purple Micro Heavenly Astral Tower.
This treasured pagoda had already grown to the level of a Quasi-Peerless Holy Item. As long as it absorbed more Ziwei Starlight, it would sooner or later evolve into a Spirit Grade Peerless Holy Item.
Under Chu Xiao's control, the pagoda instantly expanded to ten thousand zhang and suppressed Mohe Huang.
The majestic spiritual power first made it impossible for Mohe Huang to mobilize the external Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth for his own use.
At the same time, it made his supreme dharma body manifestation feel pressure.
Cai Lin, who was fighting him, immediately saw the situation and manifested her True Form, the Glazed Heaven-Swallowing Python.
"Glazed Heaven-Swallowing Light!"
The glazed light beam shattered countless Void Realms, erupting with terrifying power that made the entire Northern Region of the Tianluo Continent tremble.
The overflowing shockwave was enough to destroy a Lower Plane or an Earth Supreme.
Mohe Huang frantically responded, using the Fusion of Body and Movement to unleash a Supreme Divine Ability.
"Crack!"
Mohe Huang was knocked back several thousand miles, and countless tiny cracks appeared on the surface of his Celestial Sovereign Spirit Body.
"Bastard."
Boundless rage rose in Mohe Huang's heart. He took out a miniature bottle and crushed it.
Boom.
The Black and White Torrent Storm tore the space apart, opening a Spatial Passage spanning millions of miles.
Within the Mohe Ancient Clan's Ancestral Land, a Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign revived, raising their eyes, preparing to act.
But just then, Chu Xiao took out the mohe ancient diagram and threw it out.
The ancient diagram frantically devoured the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, enveloping an area of a hundred miles, resembling a Yin and Yang Taiji Diagram.
All the Heavenly Supremes present felt unprecedented pressure; the spiritual power of this region was now controlled by this ancient diagram.
Under this ancient diagram, the two biggest advantages of a Heavenly Supreme could not be utilized.
"Saint Grade Peerless Holy Item!"
Countless powerful experts exclaimed throughout the heavens and earth.
Any Saint Grade Peerless Holy Item leaves behind a mighty reputation in the Major Thousand Worlds, even surpassing that of a Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign expert.
A Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign might perish or pass away, but a Saint Grade Peerless Holy Item can be passed down through generations, always maintaining its prestige. It is the true Foundation possessed only by the top Super Forces of the Major Thousand Worlds.
For example, the Ancestral Pagoda of the Ancient Floating Pagoda Clan, the Yin-Yang Bottle of the Mohe Ancient Clan, the Tailing Ancient Diagram of the Tailing Ancient Clan, the Dragon Transformation Pool of the True Dragon Clan, and so on.
Yet now, Chu Xiao brazenly took out an unfamiliar Peerless Holy Item that he completely controlled.
"Why does this feel familiar?" Ling Ruoyao stared intently at the ancient diagram.
"This seems to be my clan's clan-suppressing Peerless Grade Holy Item," an Elder of the Tailing Ancient Clan beside Ling Ruoyao suddenly spoke.
"What!?" Ling Ruoyao found it absurd.
How could Chu Xiao casually mobilize the Tailing Ancient Clan's clan-suppressing Holy Item?
"No, wait." The Tailing Ancient Clan Elder denied his own statement: "It seems to share the Same Origin, but the power contained within is different. Instead, it resembles the Mohe Yin-Yang Bottle of the Ancient Floating Pagoda Clan. It seems to be born from combining the characteristics of the Holy Items of both clans."
Ling Ruoyao: "..."
"The Tianluo Alliance has lost this battle."
Chu Xiao paid no mind to the thoughts of the powerful experts, and spoke for himself.
"I, the Emperor, know that someone from the Great Thousand Palace is present, so don't say I'm not giving Face."
"Option one: every faction within the Tianluo Alliance pays fifty billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid and then leaves the Tianluo Continent. The Mohe Ancient Clan must pay an additional fifty billion as the ransom for Mohetian's life."
"Option two: today we fight endlessly. I, the Emperor, will suppress and kill all of you, and then serve a hundred years of punitive service fighting in the Demon Region."
"The Mohe Ancient Clan can also choose full-scale war. I, the Emperor, am not afraid either. Choose."
Hiss!
Hearing Chu Xiao's domineering and threatening words, countless gasps echoed at the scene.
The Yin and Yang Spatial Passage beside Mohe Huang had formed, but after the mohe ancient diagram hovered high in the sky, no Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign emerged from it.
Countless Divine Thoughts began to intertwine and discuss, pondering which option to choose.
In the Void Realm, an Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme walked out, holding the Guest Elder Token of the Great Thousand Palace, but he said nothing.
As the attacked party, the Heavenly Court and Chu Xiao had unexpectedly gained the upper hand, naturally giving them the right to make demands and seek compensation.
He was merely trying his best to ensure fairness and the balance of Heavenly Supremes in the Major Thousand Worlds.
"We accept defeat. Fifty billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid is acceptable."
Suddenly, an Ancient Voice came from the other side of the black and white passage.
"An additional fifty billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid is unacceptable!"
Not to mention fifty billion, even a hundred billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid was not a small amount for the Mohe Ancient Clan, but it was far from being crippling.
But if Chu Xiao demanded it and the Mohe Ancient Clan gave it, the loss of Face would be more valuable to the Mohe Ancient Clan than a hundred billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid, so they naturally wouldn't agree immediately.
"These are demands, not negotiations." Chu Xiao's eyes were like stars, and he spoke lightly: "You started the trouble."
"Paying reparations after a loss is a given, but Mohetian actively provoked the conflict and is now captured by me. If your Mohe Ancient Clan wants to ransom him back, the price is naturally different."
"If you don't think he's worth it, you can let him die."
As the word "die" was uttered, the Tianluo Continent was enveloped by Killing Intent.
Countless living beings fell silent, not daring to breathe, feeling that the end of the world would descend at any moment.
"Junior, this Seat advises you to stop while you're ahead."
The Ancient Voice came again from within the black and white passage.
"Aren't you afraid you'll get the money but won't live to spend it?"
"Sixty billion." Chu Xiao uttered three words.
"Junior, don't court disaster." The Ancient Voice carried anger.
"Seventy billion." Chu Xiao continued.
"Do you truly believe that relying on a single Saint Grade Peerless Holy Item allows you to contend with our clan? I can suppress you if I make a move."
"Eighty billion." Chu Xiao simply continued raising the price.
"Do you truly believe that relying on a single Saint Grade Peerless Holy Item allows you to contend with our clan? You are not a Disciple of either clan, after all." A new voice appeared, also capable of mobilizing the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth in the area.
"One hundred billion."
Chu Xiao immediately added another twenty billion. At the same time, the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame, which had reached the Immortal Grade level, appeared in his hand and was placed in front of Mohetian.
The entire scene fell silent: "..."
Will the Mohe Ancient Clan truly back down!?
