Is this the winner?

The Dust Family Eighteenth Ancestor's gaze fell upon Zhong Qing.

His eyes, weathered by time, carried a formidable sense of oppression.

He stood like a deity from the Nine Heavens, radiating an endless indifference.

The Aura emanating from him was terrifying; even just standing there, he made many Human Race and Yao Race Great Saints feel an immense and terrifying pressure.

However, Zhong Qing was not intimidated by his Aura in the slightest.

He merely stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Yi with indifference.

"I am the Domain Lord of Xuan Domain, and these Yao Race Great Saints are all under my command. If you want to take them, you'll have to ask for my permission first!"

These words surprised Chen Yi somewhat.

He hadn't expected that the seemingly young Zhong Qing was actually the Domain Lord of Xuan Domain.

Moreover, from the looks of it, he had even gained the recognition of the entire Human Race and Yao Race.

Although he hadn't set foot in Xuan Domain for a long time, he roughly knew its structure.

To be able to win over the hearts of all the Human Race and Yao Race Great Saints in Xuan Domain was enough to prove that he was not simple.

Furthermore, the other party remained so calm and composed under the pressure of his Aura.

Given all of this, the other party was likely also a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert.

But so what?

When he had just attained the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he was already capable of battling veteran Quasi-Emperor Realm experts.

Even if Zhong Qing was a Quasi-Emperor Realm, he was confident that today's outcome would not change in the slightest.

Thinking of this, he coldly said, "I am Chen Yi, a descendant of the Dust Emperor of Chen Domain, and the Dust Family Eighteenth Ancestor!"

"I am here today only to capture three Great Saint Yao Beasts."

"Considering that it wasn't easy for you to cultivate to this Realm, retreat quickly now, and I won't bother with you."

"Otherwise, you might not even have a chance to regret it."

Zhong Qing's face turned cold: "Are you threatening me?"

"No, I am merely stating a fact!"

This scene made Phoenix Aotian, who was standing by, completely unable to sit still.

"Kid, what right do you have to speak to my master in such a tone?"

He took a step forward, his gaze fixed intently on Chen Yi.

As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes turn red with fury.

There was an irreconcilable enmity between the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan and the Dust Emperor.

Chen Yi, as a descendant of the Dust Emperor, was also one of their enemies.

The moment this person appeared before him, he had already been placed on Phoenix Aotian's kill list.

That the other party dared to disrespect Master Zhong Qing in such a way further elevated his killing intent to a new height.

Phoenix Aotian's entire body tensed, his killing intent tightly locked onto Chen Yi.

He was clearly ready to launch a fatal blow at any moment.

Phoenix Aotian's undisguised killing intent caught Chen Yi's attention.

He didn't care at all; instead, he said with a look of surprise, "A mere Great Saint Realm expert actually wants to attack this Old Ancestor."

"I truly don't know whether to praise your bravery or call you foolish!"

"However, why do I sense a familiar Aura from you?"

As Chen Yi pondered, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.

"I remember now!"

"You are that fool who provoked the First Old Ancestor 150,000 years ago."

Soon, his brow furrowed.

"That doesn't make sense!"

"Back then, the First Old Ancestor cursed and killed the entire Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan."

"Logically speaking, you shouldn't exist in this world."

Feng Aotian snorted coldly: "That old fellow, the Dust Emperor, isn't dead yet, so how could this Old Ancestor leave the world before him?"

"Kid, as a descendant of the Dust Emperor, it's time for the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan to collect some interest on our blood feud from you today."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and he burst into unrestrained laughter.

He looked at Phoenix Aotian playfully.

"Old fellow!"

"Although I don't know how you escaped the First Old Ancestor's curse back then."

"But after narrowly escaping death, instead of cowering like a bug in a dark corner, you dare to appear before this Old Ancestor and act presumptuously."

"You truly are as ridiculously foolish as ever!"

As he spoke, his tone shifted.

With his hands behind his back, he looked directly at Phoenix Aotian, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Speaking of which, the Bloodline within you is quite valuable."

"This Old Ancestor originally felt some regret for not being able to obtain such a Bloodline."

"Now you've appeared at just the right time!"

"It's perfect to capture you and use you for alchemy, and at the same time, it will make up for the Old Ancestor's mistake of not being able to completely exterminate your Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan back then."

At this moment, Phoenix Aotian, whose Aura had reached its Peak, moved: "Why waste so many words!"

"If you want to capture this Old Ancestor for alchemy, you'll have to see if you have the ability!"

His movement was truly like a True Dragon emerging from the sea!

Boundless killing intent erupted from his entire body.

Rules surged and circulated around him, like chains of order, finally condensing into nine large bells.

Each bell was about ten feet tall, woven from rules, and permeated with a rich Dao charm.

Profound, ancient, and majestic, they seemed to have transcended the long river of time from ancient times, carrying the mighty power to suppress everything, and charged towards Chen Yi.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi's slightly narrowed eyes revealed traces of cold light.

"Overestimating yourself!"

As he muttered to himself, he too moved!

He pressed his single hand forward.

On that hand, traces of the Origin of rules permeated.

It descended with an supreme and mighty power.

At the Saint Realm, one grasps the power of rules; at the Great Saint Realm, one can condense rules into a Seal of Rules; and after the Great Saint Realm, one transforms the Seal of Rules into a Dao Seed, which is the sign of entering the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

And transforming this Dao Seed into a Dao Fruit is the sign of proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor!

However, while all of this sounds simple, each step of advancement and transformation is incredibly difficult.

To ascend from the Quasi-Emperor Realm to the Great Emperor Dao Fruit position, looking across the entire Three Thousand Domains of the Lower Realm, among billions of living beings, it is rare to see a newly advanced Great Emperor even in tens of thousands of years.

Within a Quasi-Emperor's body, there is a Dao Seed!

And this Dao Seed, to some extent, is the crystallization of a Quasi-Emperor's lifelong cultivation.

It contains the power of the Origin of rules.

This Origin of rules is a higher level of existence than the Seal of Rules.

The power unleashed by ten equivalent Seals of Rules is not enough to contend with one Origin of rules.

In other words, a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert can completely overwhelm ten Great Saint Peak experts.

This is a disparity so vast that it can make people despair.

Under everyone's watchful eyes!

The two sides finally clashed and fought!

"Rumble..."

The moment the two contended.

A terrifying tremor resounded at the scene.

One could see that the surrounding Void Realm shattered instantly, and cracks, like a spiderweb, continuously spread outwards, breaking through a thousand miles in an instant, and still tearing apart inch by inch.

A terrifying energy aftershock spread out in all directions, stirring up a great tremor across thousands of miles of clouds in the Nine Heavens.

The mountains below were annihilated instantly, and hundreds of them were flattened!

Fortunately, Tianxuan City was protected by a great formation!

Otherwise, the entire city would have been wiped out immediately.

The power unleashed by experts of this level was too terrifying.

For ordinary people, it was no different from a divine war where the sky collapsed and the earth sank.

After a momentary collision, a brief silence fell over the battlefield.

"Is this, has a winner been decided?"

All the Great Saints held their breath, looking at the battlefield, their minds tensed to the extreme.
