177: The Name of Soul Emperor (Part 2)
The Celestial Pivot Divine Dynasty’s people gripped their spirit artifacts tightly, their eyes filled with determination.
Prince Lan gritted his teeth and shouted, “Demon! This place is already close to the Celestial Pivot Divine Dynasty’s territory. If you dare to act, you will face our thunderous wrath!”
As he spoke, he secretly gave Tantai Yue a look.
Tantai Yue understood and quietly crushed a communication jade slip.
“You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Attack!”
Cao Nie’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He suddenly raised his hand and struck out with a palm!
“Boom—”
The void shattered, and a violent demonic energy condensed into a colossal black palm that blotted out the sky, instantly enveloping Prince Lan!
Prince Lan’s expression changed drastically. In haste, he summoned his protective spirit artifact, and the power of laws surged wildly around his body, attempting to resist the blow.
However, in the face of an absolute disparity in strength, all struggles were futile!
“Bang!”
The colossal black palm crushed down, shattering Prince Lan’s protective spiritual light. His entire body was pulverized, and he died on the spot!
“Uncle Prince Lan!” Tantai Yue cried out, her pretty face pale.
The nine people, including Cao Jian, had already made their move.
Without Prince Lan, these people were nothing but chickens and dogs.
After more than ten breaths of combat, the men were dead, and the women were held in their arms.
“You demons, I have already sent a message to my Imperial Grandfather. You won’t escape,” Tantai Yue threatened, looking at Cao Nie as if he were a dead man.
As the youngest daughter of the Crown Prince, she had displayed astonishing talent since childhood.
Then she was noticed by Emperor Yuan, and from then on, her status was comparable to her father, the Crown Prince.
“Come here.”
Cao Nie sneered, grabbed her with a large hand, and directly drew her to his side: “Let’s go!”
Just as he was about to leave.
“Rumble!”
“Demon, you seek death by laying a hand on this Emperor’s granddaughter!”
From the depths of the endless void, a terrifying palm print traversed hundreds of millions of miles and descended with a roar!
This palm contained supreme imperial might, as if the entire world was suppressed beneath it!
“Peak Half-Immortal!”
Cao Nie raised an eyebrow, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes, but he was not afraid.
It seemed he was correct; all Half-Immortals who had entered the Immortal Palace had advanced by one minor realm.
The former Emperor Yuan was only an Eight Tribulation Half-Immortal, but now he was at the peak of the Half-Immortal Realm.
Adding the Celestial Pivot Divine Dynasty’s Old Ancestor in the Demon Sealing Abyss.
The Star River Divine Dynasty and the Celestial Pivot Divine Dynasty both possessed two supreme experts at the peak of the Half-Immortal Realm.
If not for the threat of the Demon Sealing Abyss, perhaps the Nine Radiance Divine Dynasty would have long since annihilated the two major forces.
“Emperor Yuan, let this Lord witness your power.”
After speaking, dozens of laws intertwined around his body, a sight that greatly frightened Tantai Yue in his arms.
People with two laws were already extremely rare.
These dozens of laws before her were simply unheard of and unseen.
“Go!”
Cao Nie accumulated power for a palm strike, imbued with dozens of laws, and similarly struck out.
The Nine Tribulation Heaven Burning Extinguishing Dao Palm, with a total of eighty-one layers, had now been cultivated by him to the thirty-fifth layer.
Its power was incomparable.
Moreover, it was augmented by dozens of laws.
He wanted to see today what level of supreme expert his strongest combat power could match.
“Boom!”
Two world-destroying forces collided in the void, and terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions. Even the Three Thousand Dao Domains outside the void could feel a terrifying tremor.
All the supreme experts simultaneously looked up, gazing solemnly towards the Celestial Pivot Divine Dynasty’s direction.
Just now, they had sensed Emperor Yuan making a move, and immediately afterward, Emperor Yuan’s aura disappeared.
There were only two possibilities for this situation: one was death.
The other was entering the void.
For a time, curious supreme experts tore open the void one after another.
They entered to investigate the truth.
To be able to make Emperor Yuan act, this person must be extraordinary.
Perhaps he was also a supreme expert at the peak of the Half-Immortal Realm.
In the void.
Both palm prints annihilated, evenly matched!
“Hmm!”
From the depths of the void, a majestic surprised sound came.
Immediately afterward, a blurry phantom appeared in the distant depths of the void. Although its face was unclear, its vast and abyssal aura made everyone present feel suffocated!
“Celestial Pivot Divine Dynasty, Emperor Yuan!”
Cao Jian and the others’ expressions slightly changed.
Facing such a supreme expert, they still seemed somewhat immature.
Thinking of how their Family Head had just clashed with Emperor Yuan’s palm and not fallen into a disadvantage, they felt a surge of excitement.
Their Cao family, unknowingly, had already stood at the pinnacle of the Three Thousand Dao Domains.
“Who are you? How dare you lay a hand on this Emperor’s people?”
Emperor Yuan’s voice traversed the void, each word shaking Cao Jian and the others, causing their blood and qi to churn.
Cao Nie stood with his hands behind his back, his crimson robe fluttering. Facing the pressure of a peak Half-Immortal, he remained calm and composed.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly as he said indifferently, “This Lord: Soul Heaven Emperor!”
“Soul Heaven Emperor?”
Emperor Yuan’s phantom paused slightly, seemingly pondering the name.
“Emperor Yuan, I shall accept your granddaughter with a smile. Farewell and no thanks.”
Cao Nie, along with Cao Jian and the others, departed.
He had already sensed that more than a dozen supreme expert auras were rushing towards this location.
Emperor Yuan wanted to stop them, but in the end, he did not make a move.
This was merely a phantom he projected across hundreds of millions of miles of void; he didn’t even have the strength to stop Cao Nie.
More than ten breaths later.
“Boom!”
A brilliant golden light pierced through the void, and Emperor Yuan’s true body descended!
His face was majestic, his eyes like stars, and vast imperial might enveloped his body. Just by standing there, he made the void tremble.
“Soul Heaven Emperor.” Emperor Yuan’s gaze was cold as he swept his eyes around: “This Emperor remembers you.”
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly frowned and sharply turned his head to look in a certain direction.
“Whoosh!”
A middle-aged man in golden dragon robes appeared not far from him, surrounded by vast imperial might. He was another supreme existence at the peak of the Half-Immortal Realm!
“Emperor Xuan, what are you doing here?” Emperor Yuan asked in a deep voice.
Emperor Xuan did not answer immediately but instead sharply scanned his surroundings, his brows tightly furrowed: “Where is that demon?”
On his way here, he had sensed an extremely pure demonic energy, dozens of times more terrifying than the demonic energy in the Demon Sealing Abyss!
“He ran away.”
Emperor Yuan sighed, his expression solemn: “That person, though not having broken through to the Half-Immortal Realm, already possesses the combat power of a Half-Immortal peak.”
“What puzzles this Emperor even more is that he actually comprehended dozens of laws.”
“Emperor Xuan, do you think something might have happened in the Demon Sealing Abyss? Otherwise, how could such a demonic giant suddenly appear in the Three Thousand Dao Domains?”
As the two were speaking, several more streaks of light appeared in the distance!
Immediately afterward, within a mere dozen breaths, more than a dozen figures successively descended.
What was shocking was that, without exception, all these people were Half-Immortal experts!
And each of their cultivations was at least above the Five Tribulation Half-Immortal Realm!
“Comprehended dozens of laws?! Are you sure you’re not joking with me?” Emperor Xuan’s pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief.
Emperor Yuan’s face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water: “He abducted this Emperor’s most beloved granddaughter. Do you think I have the leisure to joke with you?”
“The little girl named Tantai Yue?” Emperor Xuan pressed.
Emperor Yuan nodded: “Not only that, but also the people around him, all holding a woman, and one person even holding two elders of my Dynasty, both elderly women.”
These words made the surrounding people feel a bit strange.
They weren’t surprised that these demonic cultivators captured women, but capturing elderly women was the first time they had heard of it.
“My daughter, Huang Linwei, is also missing. The several Tribulation Extinction Realm experts who guarded her all died, and even my brother died.”
Emperor Xuan’s tone was somewhat heavy, his fists unconsciously clenching.
These damned demonic cultivators, if he ever met them, it would be a fight to the death.
