661: Above Immortal Venerable

An immensely terrifying Yao Race power was released, and almost the entire Cloud Firmament Realm sensed it. They widened their eyes and looked toward the massive phantom in the distance.

"What is this!? A Yao Beast?"

The Human Race Cultivators all wore expressions of horror. The aura released from within this phantom surpassed their imagination. Even those few Immortal Venerable experts among the Human Race had their brows furrowed, with traces of terror on their faces.

"An Immortal Emperor-level Yao Beast! The Yao Race dares to violate the rules between the Human Race and the Yao Race!"

They were both afraid and angry. Although there was constant conflict between the Human Race and the Yao Race within the Cloud Firmament Realm, there had never been interference from Cultivators above the Immortal Venerable Realm.

Wait! Suddenly, someone recalled what happened in the Nine Star Empire some time ago.

A mysterious expert appeared in the Nine Star Empire and killed two Immortal Venerables. At that time, this matter was known to almost everyone in the Central Province.

Could this Immortal Emperor-level Yao Beast have been attracted by that person?

The Empress also stood up at this moment and looked toward the distance, as an ethereal voice reached her ears.

"Fellow Daoist, does the Nine Star Empire have any Cultivators who have surpassed the Immortal Venerable Realm?"

"Is there any need to think? There must be. At that time, two Yao Race Immortal Venerables were killed. If a Cultivator above the Immortal Venerable Realm hadn't taken action, how could that have been achieved?"

"The Nine Star Empire violated the rules between the Human Race and the Yao Race itself, so don't blame us for being heartless. From here on, whether the Nine Star Empire lives or dies has nothing to do with us."

The Divine Sense of a group of Immortal Venerables was transmitted over. These were the top experts of the Central Province, but upon seeing that the Yao Race had someone above the Immortal Venerable Realm coming, they all immediately rushed to distance themselves from the Nine Star Empire, fearing they would be implicated.

Even if such a Yao Race expert really wanted to cause trouble for the Human Race, they would definitely not dare to kill them all; otherwise, the Human Race experts would certainly not let it rest.

The Human Race and the Yao Race are not allowed to attack each other's weaker members; the purpose of this is to protect the weak. If the Yao Race were to come and kill their Human Race Cultivators this time, then the Human Race would soon go on to slaughter the Yao Race's descendants, and it would never end.

Hearing these words, the Empress's expression also turned completely ugly.

The Central Province intends to isolate their Nine Star Empire.

Ridiculous.

With the Yao Race expert coming this time, do they really think it will end after just dealing with their Nine Star Empire?

The Yao Race will surely take advantage of the momentum to seize back the Central Province.

...

Ten Thousand Yao Mountain.

Countless Yao Race members gathered here. Even the Yao King wore a fawning expression. Not far in front of him sat a sixty-year-old man. He had a cold expression, and his whole body exuded an indescribable sense of oppression, making the other Yao Beasts present feel as if they had encountered their natural predator.

This sense of oppression was not only reflected in cultivation base, but also in Bloodline.

The Yao King stepped forward two steps, his face full of a fawning smile: "Second Uncle, you have finally arrived."

Hearing this, the old man just nodded silently. He looked around the Ten Thousand Yao Mountain, a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes: "Zipo, among the three brothers of your generation, you are the one who has had it the most miserably."

"The worlds where your two older brothers are have both led the Yao Race to become the Dominators of their respective Realms. But here in the Cloud Firmament Realm, the Yao Race can only turtle up in a place like this. If this were spoken of, it would be somewhat of a disgrace to my Azure Nether Purple Crystal Tiger clan."

Zipo swallowed, feeling somewhat fearful in his heart.

"Second Uncle, this time I originally had the opportunity to unify the entire Cloud Firmament Realm. Just when I was about to annihilate the Nine Star Empire, some expert from outside the Realm popped out of nowhere and killed two of our Yao Race's Immortal Venerables."

"Originally, the strength of the Human Race and the Yao Race had almost completely leveled out over these years. Once the Nine Star Empire was destroyed, the Yao Race's strength would have been slightly stronger. Who would have known we would encounter this matter? This expert from outside the Realm is not someone I can defeat, and I really had no other choice, which is why I had to seek help from Second Uncle."

This statement was indeed a fact. The Yao Race's strength had been advancing by leaps and bounds over these years, and there was already a strong feeling that they were about to surpass the Human Race.

According to the normal outcome, the Nine Star Empire on that day would almost certainly have been destroyed, and the higher-ups would absolutely have been unable to escape.

Without the Nine Star Empire, the Yao Race's strength could definitely suppress the Human Race.

Unfortunately, everything did not proceed according to his own thoughts.

The old man spoke indifferently: "Do you know what faction that person belongs to?"

"I am not clear; I only know that he can easily kill Immortal Venerables." Zipo immediately shook his head.

The old man smiled faintly: "Easily killing Immortal Venerable Cultivators—even a Cultivator who has just stepped into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm can do that. What is the background of that Nine Star Empire? Does it have any Human Race experts behind it?"

Zipo immediately told him all the information about the Nine Star Empire, and even detailed the personal information of the top experts within the imperial family. Since they had previously prepared to destroy the Nine Star Empire, they naturally had investigated everyone.

The old man suddenly furrowed his brows: "You say the Empress of the Nine Star Empire is very beautiful?"

Zipo nodded: "Yes, her beauty is rare in the world."

"In the entire Nine Star Empire, only this Empress could possibly attract experts to help. Although the higher the Realm, the less one values female beauty, this Empress is peerlessly graceful. Not only is her cultivation talent good, but her appearance is also extremely outstanding. Engaging in Dual Cultivation with such a person is of great help to cultivation and the birth of descendants."

The old man nodded silently and began to analyze carefully.

Seeing the old man's expression was somewhat grave, Zipo thought he had encountered a tough nut to crack, so he couldn't help but ask: "Second Uncle, is it possible that this Nine Star Empire cannot be touched?"

After all, Second Uncle started investigating right away. According to his original logic, after Second Uncle arrived, he should have directly gone to destroy the Nine Star Empire, then found an opportunity to weaken the Human Race's power, and then they, the Yao Race, would take this opportunity to seize the Central Province and make the Yao Race the Dominator of the Cloud Firmament Realm.

Over these years, the continuous struggle between the Yao Race and the Human Race has shifted from a struggle of top-tier combat power to a struggle of low-tier combat power.

Both sides are looking to see whose descendants can produce experts, and then use this to widen the gap between the two sides.

Therefore, whether the Dominator of this world is the Human Race or the Yao Race is a completely different concept. Just like in their Cloud Firmament Realm, the resources the Yao Race has obtained over these years are only half of the Human Race's.

If it weren't for them having exhausted some of the Human Race's strength before, the Yao Race would currently be no match for the Human Race at all.

The old man sneered upon hearing this: "What are you thinking about? I was just asking out of boredom. I am not some Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but a true Immortal Emperor. No matter how terrifying the forces behind that Nine Star Empire are, in my eyes, they are nothing more than ants."

"Rest assured, destroying this Nine Star Empire will be as easy as taking something out of a bag for me. There is no one in this Cloud Firmament Realm who is my opponent."

Hearing this, Zipo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second Uncle is peerless and invincible; naturally, no one is your opponent."

Below, many Yao Race members were also looking at the old man with uncertainty. Is this the clansman behind the Yao King?

Their strength is truly immensely powerful. It seems that this Cloud Firmament Realm will be our Yao Race's territory before long.
