124: Emperor's Tribulation

"Whoosh!"

As the sky-high spray fell back into the sea, it immediately made a crackling sound like rain.

The three people in the sky clearly had no time to pay attention to this; their gazes were all focused on each other, as if afraid that the other party would disappear from their sight.

"Who are you two?"

Looking at the two black-robed figures not far away, Blue Heart finally chose to speak first, her eyes filled with coldness as she said in a deep voice.

"Coming to my Illusion Blue Sea, is there something you need?"

As soon as the two Yao Race members appeared in the Illusion Blue Sea, Blue Heart discovered them. This place was, after all, her base, which she had managed for tens of thousands of years, and it was filled with carefully laid out arrangements.

Although the two Yao Race members had originally intended to launch a sneak attack, upon realizing they had been discovered, they no longer bothered to hide.

"Heh, it's truly been a long time, Blue Heart."

Dragon Flame directly pulled down the black robe on his head, revealing his resentful face. The Dragon horns on his head seemed to represent his mood, appearing even more ferocious under the sunlight.

"Dragon Flame?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Blue Heart blurted out the other party's name. As the Hall Revered Master of the Demon God Hall, and the Yao Race member with the most hope of taking that step, she naturally knew him.

Of course, there was another reason she remembered him: she had once killed one of his offspring. Therefore, the two of them had a blood feud.

"What, Dragon Flame?"

Thinking of this, Blue Heart immediately seemed to understand something. After glancing at White Pian, who had taken off her black robe beside him, her willow-like eyebrows slightly raised.

"Have you brought a helper to seek revenge on me?"

"You can understand it that way."

Dragon Flame had no intention of explaining further. After speaking, he raised his right hand, curled his fingers into a claw, and forcefully swung it down at Blue Heart.

"Dragon Claw Tears the Sky!!"

As he roared, endless Divine Power surged out, rapidly condensing into a colossal five-clawed Dragon palm that blotted out the sky. Amidst the roaring of space, it pressed directly down on Blue Heart, revealing his Perfection Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation without reservation.

Facing this move, Blue Heart's expression also became serious. She had no intention of directly resisting it. She turned and vanished into the seabed.

She wasn't foolish. Although they were both high-level Quasi-Emperors, the opponent's strength was several times higher than hers. If she were to clash head-on, she would definitely suffer.

As Blue Heart disappeared, the giant Dragon claw showed no sign of dissipating, pressing directly downward. The moment it touched the sea surface, it stirred up monstrous waves, sweeping countless fish and shrimp into them.

The displaced seawater continuously spread outwards, forming huge waves that crashed heavily onto the sea surface, emitting a deafening sound. From a distance, the Illusion Blue Sea at this moment looked as if a natural disaster had descended.

After an unknown period, when the natural disaster gradually subsided, the sea surface slowly returned to calm. Unlike before, Blue Heart's figure had disappeared.

"Hmph."

Seeing this, Dragon Flame's expression immediately turned ugly. Although his previous move had been grand, it hadn't even harmed a single hair on Blue Heart.

No matter how fierce a hammer is, it's useless if it can't hit anyone.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, accompanied by a sound of water breaking, Blue Heart's figure reappeared in their sight. She stood on the water surface, distinct water droplets hanging from her dark long hair, slowly sliding down, and a mocking smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Although Dragon Flame was powerful, Blue Heart was no pushover. This was the Illusion Blue Sea, and even if she couldn't defeat the opponent in her home territory, she could still come and go as she pleased without any problem.

"Heh, you like to hide, don't you?"

Seeing this, Dragon Flame forcibly suppressed his anger, then a cold smile appeared on his face, and his gaze slowly fell upon the sea surface.

"Blue Heart, I remember you also have a Disciple, don't you?"

Upon hearing this, Blue Heart's expression slightly changed, and this subtle change was also noticed by Dragon Flame. Seeing this, the latter immediately cast his gaze towards White Pian, who had not made a move yet.

"Elder Bai, go find that little fellow."

"Heh, leave it to me."

White Pian chuckled, then instantly rushed towards the sea surface. Seeing this, Blue Heart could no longer maintain her composure. Accompanied by a Sword Qi, a voice full of anger immediately rang out.

"How dare you!"

As her words fell, a Sword Qi that blotted out the sky immediately flew towards White Pian, skimming the sea surface.

Seeing this, White Pian's expression also changed drastically. She couldn't block this move. She was only a mid-level Quasi-Emperor who had just entered the Fourth Heaven not long ago. If she dared to take this move, she would probably be severely wounded on the spot.

Fortunately, in the next moment, Dragon Flame's figure appeared in front of her. With a casual wave of his hand, he conjured a giant Divine Power claw, forcefully catching the Sword Qi and then crushing it, causing the attack to shatter.

But before the two Yao Race members could catch their breath, several more magnificent Sword Qi, comparable in Aura to the previous one, flew over again. Wherever they passed, monstrous waves surged, and Sword Qi roared.

In the blink of an eye, Dragon Flame and the two Yao Race members were surrounded by several Sword Qi. Facing the enraged attack of a high-level Great Emperor, Dragon Flame's expression remained as calm as ever as he resisted, while White Pian decisively hid behind the latter, silently raising a Divine Power shield to protect herself first.

And after seeing the two Yao Race members submerged by her attack, Blue Heart did not relax because of it. Her Mental Energy instantly connected to Lan Ruobing, and she transmitted her voice.

"Ruobing, quickly leave the Illusion Blue Sea and go to the Bone Spirit Mountain Range to find that Bone Cultivator fellow!"

"Ah?"

Above the undersea palace, Lan Ruobing, who had just heard the commotion and rushed out, was stunned upon hearing her Revered Master's message, seemingly bewildered by the immense amount of information contained in those few words.

"Revered Master!"

But very quickly, Lan Ruobing, who had reacted, hurriedly transmitted a reply.

"What happened? What about you??"

"You go first!"

On the sea surface, Blue Heart glanced at the two Yao Race members not far away who had defused her attack, then continued to transmit her voice.

"I'll come find you later, hurry!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the urgency in her Revered Master's tone, Lan Ruobing dared not delay. She urged the Divine Power within her body to quickly move in the opposite direction, simultaneously applying various acceleration Talisman and Divine Ability to herself, and her speed instantly surged!

At this moment, while Lan Ruobing was worried, she was also very calm. She clearly knew that her meager God King Realm cultivation was of no help to her Revered Master, and staying would only hinder her Revered Master's performance.

What she needed to do now was to reach Wuji Palace as quickly as possible and find Bone Cultivator to come back and help!

"Hoo."

After sensing Lan Ruobing's figure moving away, Blue Heart also breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, this girl wasn't impulsive. Now, what she had to do was to stop the two people in front of her to buy time for her precious Disciple to escape, and then seize an opportunity to get away herself when the time was right.

"Heh, do you think your precious Disciple can escape?"

Dragon Flame emerged from the sky-high spray with White Pian, a mocking expression on his face as he looked at Blue Heart.

"Hmph, you should worry about yourself first."

Although the situation wasn't good, Blue Heart retorted without showing weakness. She wasn't being arrogant; on this vast sea, she had a good chance of entangling the two people in front of her.

But in the next moment, as Dragon Flame made a move, Blue Heart's expression immediately changed.

Dragon Flame, who had been empty-handed just moments before, casually grabbed forward, and a fiery red feather, more than a meter long, instantly appeared in his hand.

As this feather appeared, the temperature of this heaven and earth instantly began to rise. The water surface beneath Dragon Flame and White Pian even began to boil and bubble instantly.

Even Blue Heart felt waves of scorching heat assault her, but she had no time to pay attention to them. Her gaze was entirely occupied by that feather, and her expression gradually became solemn.

"This is..."

On this feather, she felt a power far exceeding that of the Nine Yang Arrow God, and she was not unfamiliar with such power.

"Great Emperor..."

Blue Heart moved her gaze from the feather and looked at the two of them, her willow-like eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Has your Yao Race's Yao Emperor also awakened?"

"Heh, your reaction isn't bad."

Hearing this, Dragon Flame had no intention of denying it. He admitted it generously, sneering.

"Blue Heart, even that old woman Yao Emperor from the Ghost Spirit Stone Cave didn't bestow this item. You should feel honored to die under this Divine object."

"Damn it..."

Blue Heart's hand gripping her sword tightened slightly, and her mood instantly sank to rock bottom. She never expected that Dragon Flame, a Perfection Quasi-Emperor, plus White Pian making a move, was already giving her a lot of respect. She didn't expect these two fellows to play this trick, and even bring an item from a Yao Emperor to target her. It seemed the Yao Race was determined to kill her this time.

"Blue Heart!"

Just then, the shout from the opposite side immediately caught her attention. She subconsciously looked up and saw the fiery feather suddenly burst into brilliant light. Dragon Flame fiercely swung it towards her, roaring with a ferocious expression.

"Go and be buried with my offspring!!"

As his words fell, the fiery feather instantly flew out of his hand. The scorching halo it emitted instantly formed a ball of light. The terrifying temperature instantly caused all the surrounding seawater within sight to boil, rising like a small sun on the sea surface, then breaking through the Void Realm towards Blue Heart.

Wherever it passed, space continuously shattered, and everything that obstructed it was instantly evaporated, bringing infinite destructive power towards Blue Heart.

Seeing this, Blue Heart's expression instantly turned pale. She immediately felt the threat of death from it. If she were to resist this head-on, she would definitely be reduced to dust!!

"Illusion Blue Great Formation, rise!!"

Under the threat of death, Blue Heart acted with the fastest speed. Immediately, streaks of white light lit up on the sea surface, and then a mermaid statue rushed out of the seawater.

This mermaid statue looked entirely like white jade, standing hundreds of meters tall, spanning heaven and earth. Its body emitted a light blue halo, directly shielding Blue Heart behind it, facing the "small sun" that was breaking through the Void Realm!

Under the gaze of several people, the moment the two collided, the fiery feather, as if stimulated by something, instantly emitted even more terrifying Divine Power. Under the scorching temperature, the light blue halo on the mermaid's body also lit up fiercely.

But unfortunately, after persisting for a moment, the halo also began to waver, and finally, accompanied by a silent roar, it instantly disintegrated, leaving the mermaid statue to face the fiery feather directly.

And as the two touched, the terrifying temperature of the fiery feather itself directly caused the mermaid statue to begin melting, instantly piercing through it from the navel.

In the distance, Dragon Flame's face immediately showed a cold sneer upon seeing this scene. To kill Blue Heart, he had specifically asked Emperor Jun for this item before setting off, all for revenge.

Although this item was not as powerful as Emperor Jun's personal attack, it possessed power beyond a Quasi-Emperor. Even if it couldn't kill Blue Heart, it could definitely severely wound her!

"Boom!!"

Just then, a thunderous roar exploding in his ears made him subconsciously look up. Looking up, he saw that the sky had been covered by dark clouds at some unknown time.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Dragon Flame was stunned. His Mental Energy instinctively spread out, and soon, the surrounding anomalies immediately caught his attention, making his expression solemn.

In Dragon Flame's perception, from his location to the north, it was all covered in dark clouds, with lightning rampaging. Moreover, the further north, the greater the commotion.

Such a celestial phenomenon made him subconsciously continue to explore northward. After an unknown distance of exploration, a scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

On the boundless sea surface, waves were now surging. Within the thick dark clouds overhead, raging lightning snakes could be seen everywhere, and the terrifying Aura they emitted made Dragon Flame feel a tingling sensation on his scalp, even from a great distance.

Immediately after, his attention was drawn to a certain spot. He saw a figure standing in the middle of heaven and earth, treading on the Void Realm, and the Aura emanating from him made Dragon Flame's pupils constrict involuntarily.

Perfection Quasi-Emperor Realm, this person was actually at the same realm as him, and judging by the looks of it, he seemed to be Undergoing Tribulation to become a Great Emperor!

"Hmph, all of you, scram."

Just as Dragon Flame wanted to see the other party's face clearly, a cold snort suddenly sounded, accompanied by an undeniable Emperor's Will, instantly scattering his Mental Energy.

Crushed by the sudden Will, Dragon Flame's vision instantly went black. He swayed before stabilizing himself, his face filled with shock as he looked towards the north.

Emperor's Will, a Great Emperor had made a move. Who was protecting someone else!

In an instant, two pairs of combinations flashed through Dragon Flame's mind: Nine Palaces Arrow God and Liu Yuan, and Bone Cultivator and An Lan.

After all, throughout the entire Tianxuan Continent, only these two combinations and their Yao Race seemed to be able to simultaneously meet these two conditions.

But before Dragon Flame could ponder further, a sword light soaring into the sky in the distance instantly caught his attention.

Looking up, Blue Heart, covered in blood, immediately came into view within the sword light.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Seeing this, Dragon Flame had no time to think about anything else. He let out a low roar, then instantly soared into the air and broke through the Void Realm.

"Elder Bai, go capture her Disciple!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the voice echoing in her ears, White Pian, who had been slacking off for a while, hurriedly responded, then spread her white wings behind her and headed in the direction Lan Ruobing had fled.

And just at this moment of life-and-death struggle, on the other side of the sea, it also became lively with the arrival of two uninvited guests.
