257: Azure Heaven Overlord Body Seven-Colored Emperor Soul

Qi Imperial Clan.

At this moment, the Qi Imperial Clan had long since become exceptionally eerie.

The environment that was once full of Spiritual Qi and vibrant with life had now reached a state where even the plants were beginning to appear gray and decayed.

Several Ancient Ancestors of the Qi Clan were currently sitting on prayer mats in a circle.

Despite being Emperor Realm Experts, their faces were as deathly pale as corpses.

A few of the Ancient Ancestors even had cadaveric spots appearing on their necks.

"Will the Young Master of the Qin Clan participate in the Dao Questioning Assembly?"

"He will, he definitely will. Didn't he return to the Qin Imperial Clan from Wende Academy specifically to investigate the 'Divine Tide'? This Dao Questioning Assembly is his perfect opportunity."

"Then should we kill him at this Dao Questioning Assembly?"

"Don't be in a hurry; the Dao Questioning Assembly is just an appetizer."

The several Ancient Ancestors of the Qi Clan chatted sporadically; it was clearly audible that their mental states were not very good.

At this moment, that severed hand appeared.

Upon seeing the severed hand appear, the several Ancient Ancestors of the Qi Clan immediately kowtowed and worshipped it.

They didn't look like Emperor Realm Experts at all.

The severed hand seemed to transmit some kind of information to the Ancient Ancestors of the Qi Clan, and then the severed hand began to form various incantation seals.

A massive gate that seemed to come from the depths of Hell appeared beside the severed hand and then slowly swung open.

A young man, his body filled with Death Qi and his entire form a grayish-white that even bordered on green, walked out from the gate.

His eyes had no eyeballs, only dried-up bloody sockets and bloodstains on his face.

All of this proved without a doubt that he was merely a corpse without a Soul.

However, while clearly devoid of any life, his skin bore strange patterns that carried an unparalleled overbearing power, containing a truly terrifying strength.

The aura of a Quasi-Emperor erupted from him, causing every Ancient Ancestor of the Qi Clan present to feel a sense of pressure in their hearts.

"Heaven-Soaring Hegemon Body..."

One Ancient Ancestor of the Qi Clan lost his composure and murmured to himself.

Like the Double Pupils, this was an Immortal Endowment that had long since disappeared from the Myriad Universes.

Like the Chaos Body, it had become a legendary Physique within the Myriad Universes.

Such an existence had appeared before their eyes in such an absurd form.

The severed hand once again transmitted information into the minds of the Ancient Ancestors present.

This is one of my collection pieces, and also my 'gift' to the Young Master of the Qin Clan... News of the Dao Questioning Assembly had already spread through the Myriad Universes, causing quite a stir.

Many Prodigies were heading for the Ancient Desolate Land, preparing to participate in the Dao Questioning Assembly.

Some wanted to show off their skills at the Dao Questioning Assembly and become famous in a single battle.

Wei Imperial Clan.

Wei Hanyuan had emerged from seclusion.

As a possessor of the Primordial Chaos Body, his original strength was already at the level of a Chaos Profound Venerable.

Now that he had emerged, it was even more unimaginable.

Meanwhile, the other Forbidden Prodigy, Wei Wujin, had chosen to enter seclusion after the trip to the Remnant Bone Domain ended and had not yet emerged.

Similarly, among the three seeds of the Yan Imperial Clan, another Prodigy had been born, named Yan Lintian.

As one of the three major seeds, he did not possess a special Physique; having been born from the emperor soul seed, he was naturally born with a Seven-Colored Emperor Soul.

He could directly blast apart an opponent's Divine Soul relying solely on Divine Sense attacks, and his comprehension of Divine Abilities and secret methods was exceptionally rapid.

Many Prodigies and Forbidden Prodigies appeared one after another, their goals unanimously locked onto the Dao Questioning Assembly.

As for whether they were going for the Ancient Desolate Land or for someone else, that was hard to say.

"I wonder if Young Lord Mu Zun will participate in this Dao Questioning Assembly?"

"So many top Prodigies are going, Young Lord Mu Zun should... it's hard for me to say."

"Young Lord Mu Zun is a Chaos Body, after all. I don't think those Forbidden Prodigies are his match."

"The Chaos Body is indeed powerful, but Young Lord Mu Zun hasn't reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm yet, while that Yan Lintian, one of the three seeds of the Yan Imperial Clan, killed a Primeval Royal Clan member at the Quasi-Emperor Realm with a single move using his Divine Sense."

Many living beings in the Myriad Universes were speculating whether Mu Zun's position as the leader of the younger generation could be maintained after this Dao Questioning Assembly.

It couldn't be helped; that Yan Lintian of the Yan Imperial Clan was simply too dazzling. The shock of killing a Quasi-Emperor of the Primeval Royal Clan using only Divine Sense was incredibly large for others; it was truly somewhat exaggerated.

Even the Young Master of the Qin Clan had no record of killing a Quasi-Emperor, only having heavily injured the Grand Elder of the Ten Mountains of the Golden Crow.

"I didn't expect the newly born three seeds of the Yan Imperial Clan to be this formidable."

In the Wei Imperial Clan, Wei Hanyuan's expression was grave after hearing about Yan Lintian's feat of slaying a Quasi-Emperor with Divine Sense.

As the legendary three seeds of the Yan Imperial Clan—Emperor Body, emperor soul, and true self—if Yan Lintian could slay a Quasi-Emperor with Divine Sense, then he was likely the emperor soul seed among the three.

Moreover, looking at this level of strength, he likely truly possessed an emperor soul.

At the thought of facing a Prodigy possessing an emperor soul, even Wei Hanyuan couldn't help but find it troublesome.

After all, Divine Sense attacks were different from Divine Ability attacks; Divine Sense attacks were impossible to guard against, and one could be severely injured by Divine Sense if they were even slightly careless.

At best, one's Divine Sense would be damaged; at worst, one would directly become an idiot or even die on the spot.

"I wonder if Young Lord Mu Zun will come. If he does, then it's better to leave this Yan Lintian for him to deal with."

After thinking it over, Wei Hanyuan still planned to throw this thorny problem to Mu Zun.

If Mu Zun went to the Dao Questioning Assembly, then the group of Prodigies would definitely make Mu Zun their primary target.

In the blink of an eye, the day the Dao Questioning Assembly was to begin was almost upon them.

The place where the Dao Questioning Assembly was held was a high-level Universe close to the Ancient Desolate Land, on a planet personally created by Emperor Realm Experts from both the Buddhist and Daoist Sects.

And the Prodigies of the Myriad Universes all began to move at this time.

"In this Dao Questioning Assembly, I will become famous in one battle! I'll prove myself by defeating the Forbidden Prodigies of the Imperial Clans!"

"Ancient Desolate Land, here I come. I hope you don't disappoint me!"

The blood of many Prodigies surged with excitement as they accelerated toward the location of the Dao Questioning Assembly.

Yan Universe.

The Yan Emperor looked at Yan Lintian and Yan Linjun before him.

"Lintian, I know you are already impatient to compete with the Young Master of the Qin Imperial Clan."

"But I still must remind you that the strength of the Young Master of the Qin Clan is extraordinary, and our Yan Imperial Clan has recently been communicating and cooperating frequently with the Qin Imperial Clan. Do you understand what I mean?"

The Yan Emperor spoke with earnest words and good intentions.

And the meaning of his words was simply too obvious.

It was nothing more than telling Yan Lintian not to fight Mu Zun to the death; deciding who was superior was enough, and he shouldn't damage their friendly relations.

"...I understand."

Yan Lintian was silent for a moment, then nodded.

He originally only wanted to see for himself just what kind of ability the Young Master of the Qin Clan, Mu Zun, who was called the leader of the younger generation in the Myriad Universes, actually possessed. That was all.

As for dealing a fatal blow, he hadn't planned on it in the first place.

Those mongrel beasts of the Primeval Royal Clan could be killed whenever he felt like it.

But a Prodigy with Mu Zun's status was not someone who could be killed just because one wanted to.

Seeing that Yan Lintian could understand his intent, the Yan Emperor nodded with gratification.

After leaving the main hall, Yan Lintian set off with Yan Linjun toward the Universe where the Dao Questioning Assembly was located.

"Mu Zun, I hope you don't disappoint me."

Yan Lintian murmured in his heart.

Since his birth, both the Yan Emperor and Yan Linjun had told him of Mu Zun's power.

Furthermore, after he himself had traveled a bit through the Myriad Universes, he could hear Mu Zun's great name everywhere.

Such a figure naturally made him very curious.

On the other side, at the Qin Imperial Clan.

Mu Zun sat within his palace, only to hear someone outside asking for an audience.

After he responded, the person who pushed open the door and entered was Fang Chensheng.

"Lord Saint, the Dao Questioning Assembly will begin in a few days."

Fang Chensheng said respectfully.
