296: The Three Sovereigns Sect Splits Again

Qin An, the Grand Elder of the Earth Emperor Sect, said, "That's correct. And it should be related to that person from the low-level Realm we went to recruit that day. He had the audacity to claim he would annihilate our three factions."

Zheng Guanhong, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, said, "What does everyone think now? Can Dream Divine Mechanism's words be trusted? If we fail to recruit that person, could it truly lead to the Sect's destruction?"

Qin An said, "Impossible! How could a mere ant from a low-level Realm possess such capability?"

Lord in the Clouds, the Sect Master of the Human Emperor Sect, changed expression, stood up, and declared, "The Human Emperor Sect withdraws from this Alliance. From today onward, the Human Emperor Sect draws a clear line with you all and will no longer participate in the Alliance of the three Sects. We're leaving!"

Qin An was startled. He had misspoken just now, forgetting that Lord in the Clouds also hailed from a low-level Realm. He hurriedly said, "Sect Master Yun, that's not what I meant. Sect Master Yun..."

Zheng Guanhong said, "Lord in the Clouds, at a time like this, why cling to such trivialities!"

"The reason the Three Emperors Sect collapsed back then was precisely because there were too many self-righteous people like you. Now, Dream Divine Mechanism's prophecy is gradually revealing signs. My Human Emperor Sect does not wish to tread a path of utter ruin. From now on, let us each stand independently and refrain from infringing upon one another!" After saying this, Lord in the Clouds led the Human Emperor Sect's high-level members and left the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

The two remaining Sects felt somewhat helpless. At this critical juncture, they were still having internal strife! However, at that moment, Hua Feng, the Sect Master of the Earth Emperor Sect, suddenly made a shocking statement!

"Qin An, from today onward, you are relieved of your position as Grand Elder!"

"What? Sect Master Hua, you want to dismiss me? Why?" Qin An asked in surprise and confusion.

"Lord in the Clouds is right. There are far too many people like you! Dream Divine Mechanism's prophecies have never been wrong, and this time should be no exception. My Earth Emperor Sect must prepare for the future."

Qin An said, "If you wish to dismiss me, you still need the agreement of the Earth Emperor Sect's Old Ancestor."

"If he disagrees, then I will relinquish this position of Sect Master and leave the Earth Emperor Sect!" Hua Feng declared, then also directly left the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

Those who remained seemed to witness again the scene that marked the beginning of the Three Emperors Sect's downfall. It was precisely because the Heaven, Earth, and Human Halls had never been united. After the strongest Old Ancestor failed his tribulation while attempting to break through to the ninth stage of the God Tribulation Realm, the three halls were not united enough to resist external enemies together. This allowed other forces to find an opportunity, attack in unison, and shatter and divide the Three Emperors Sect in one fell swoop.

The next day

A major upheaval occurred in the Earth Emperor Sect. Hua Feng was actually stripped of his position as Sect Master. His successor was not the vice sect master, but Grand Elder Qin An. The outside world was in an uproar!

But not long after, the Human Emperor Sect also announced that Hua Feng would become their Grand Elder and take charge of the Human Emperor Sect's Punishment Hall.

Upon learning that the Six Mad Gate was protecting Jiang Ye and the others, the Heavenly Emperor Sect and Earth Emperor Sect became absolutely certain that they were the ones who stole the Spirit Stones. The experts of both Sects joined forces and arrived at the Jiang residence, pressuring the Six Mad Gate members to hand over Jiang Ye.

Mad Three said, "If you have no proof that he took the Spirit Stones, then get lost!"

Qin An said, "Mad Three, don't be so arrogant. With so many of us here today, whether you hand him over or not, you will!"

Mad Three suddenly laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Is that so? Sect Master Yun, it's time to show yourself!"

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh...*

Lord in the Clouds, Hua Feng, and three Old Ancestor-level powerhouses from the Human Emperor Sect all appeared!

The members of the Heavenly Emperor Sect and Earth Emperor Sect were greatly shocked. The Human Emperor Sect's three Old Ancestors had actually come in person!

Zheng Guanhong said, "What is the meaning of this, Human Emperor Sect?"

Lord in the Clouds said coldly, "To seek a path of survival for my Human Emperor Sect!"

On the very day he left the Heavenly Emperor Sect, he had gone directly to the Divine Mechanism Tower and found the Branch Master of the Outer God Realm. The Divine Mechanism Tower had already anticipated this and gave him a single sentence: 'The gate of life lies at the Jiang residence!'

Qin An said, "A high-level power of the Outer God Realm, actually acting as a Protector for an ant from a low-level Realm? Has your Human Emperor Sect fallen so low?"

Mad Three said, "We will defend this place to the death for one month. If you wish to start a war, then come!"

Zheng Guanhong said, "What do you mean? After one month, you will no longer be involved in this matter?"

"That's right. If you don't want to start a war, then come back in a month!"

"Huh? Are you trying to buy time for them to escape?"

Mad Three suddenly burst into laughter again, "Hahaha! I can't guarantee much else, but I can guarantee with my head that one month from now, not a single one of them will have left this place!"

The members of the Heavenly Emperor Sect and Earth Emperor Sect were very puzzled. What could Jiang Ye and the others possibly do within this month? Could a Divine Spirit Realm cultivator hope to contend with their Divine Sovereign Realm power in just one month?

Zheng Guanhong said, "Fine! I'll let them live for another month. If you obstruct us again, then don't blame us for being impolite!"

After the Heavenly Emperor Sect and others left, Mad Three said, "Sect Master Yun, do you truly believe the words of the Divine Mechanism Tower?"

"That is one aspect. More importantly, the people of the Heavenly Emperor Sect and Earth Emperor Sect have not changed their ways over all these years. They are treading the same old path that led to the Three Emperors Sect's destruction."

Twenty days later

The outside world remained calm. Inside the cultivation chamber, due to the abundant Spirit Stone resources this time, Jiang Ye had already refined his God Slaying Bloodline three times. However, he discovered that as the God Slaying Bloodline grew increasingly powerful, each refinement became more difficult than the last.

According to Mad Three, breaking through the first four Realms in the Divine Realm wasn't considered too difficult. The true difficulty lay in the Realms above the Divine Sovereign Realm. The God Venerable Realm, God Tribulation Realm, and so on—each minor stage was like a chasm! Especially the God Tribulation Realm; breaking through each minor stage required enduring a divine thunder baptism. Countless experts had perished beneath that divine thunder.

Three days later

Jiang Ye began focusing all his efforts on breaking through Realms. With Spirit Stone resources still plentiful, he prepared to use the God Slaying Bloodline Power as an aid to directly propel the Divine Power within his body, pushing his Realm all the way to the ninth stage of the Divine Sovereign Realm!

Meanwhile, the Savage King Bloodline that Shi Bao had previously awakened and the Netherworld Bloodline that Shi Feng had awakened underwent incredible changes after arriving in the Divine Realm. Although their speed of absorbing Spirit Stone spiritual energy wasn't as terrifying as Jiang Ye's, their current Realms were also skyrocketing wildly!

Another five days passed, and Jiang Ye's name had completely resounded throughout the Outer God Realm. Everyone was certain he was the one who had swept away the Spirit Stones from the treasuries of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Emperor Sects.

Ming Family

Inside a secret chamber, Family Head Ming Cheng and his brothers were holding a confidential discussion. "Fortunately, our Ming Family didn't go looking for trouble with him afterward. Otherwise, the consequences would have been truly unimaginable!"

Fifth Uncle said, "Consider those two hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones as money spent to ward off disaster. That fireball he was preparing to detonate to destroy the Divine Fighting Arena that day still gives me lingering fear. That power was terrifying and strange."

Fourth Brother said, "Exactly. It was fortunate we didn't fight him then. Otherwise, we would have all been lost there, and the Divine Fighting Arena would have been destroyed."

Genius Duel Arena

The Outer God Realm's Genius Tournament had begun today. Representatives of Disciples and Elders from seven forces of the Inner God Realm had arrived. They had also heard about the incident where Jiang Ye had emptied the treasuries of Spirit Stones from the Heavenly Emperor Sect and the other two factions. Some forces had already begun setting their sights on Jiang Ye, planning to recruit him into their Sect and then make him hand over all the Spirit Stones.

However, even though they had already warned the two factions, the Heavenly Emperor Sect and Earth Emperor Sect, not to prevent Jiang Ye from participating during the Genius Tournament, his figure was nowhere to be seen.

In the spectator seats, an Elder from a Sect called Tian Yue Sect said, "It seems that ant from the low-level Realm doesn't dare show his face. Find a way to locate his position. The amount of Spirit Stones he possesses is not a small sum, even for our Sect."

Another force called the Nine Peaks Sect, also seeking to find Jiang Ye, had already taken the lead in sending Disciples to gather information.
