66: Imperial troops clash in the Imperial Ruins battlefield!

The Supreme imperial might shocked the world.

The powerhouses on the three hundred and sixty-five continents all felt this astonishing might.

Countless beings trembled under the ultimate imperial might.

And as the gate of yuanshi was summoned, even without awakening the ultimate emperor weapon's divine spirit and fully reviving it, it still dimmed the Xuantian Holy Land's sect-protecting formation.

All the forces present were stunned by the Yuanshi Holy Lord's action.

They never expected the Yuanshi Holy Lord to go this far, even summoning an ultimate emperor weapon.

"Yuanshi Holy Lord, do you intend to start an Emperor-level war?"

Jiang Wuju roared.

Deep within the Xuantian Holy Land, a Supreme imperial might also awakened, protecting everyone.

"Di Hongtian, stop it."

"Do not rashly start an Emperor-level war; you cannot bear that responsibility."

"The destructive power of an Emperor-level war is too terrifying; once it begins, it could even lead to the premature end of an epoch!"

"..."

The representatives of all Holy Lands—Chaos, Primordial, Rebirth, and Profound Yellow—were all advising against it. Not to mention the forces without ultimate emperor weapons, even the other Supreme-level Holy Lands did not want to start an Emperor-level war.

It was too uncontrollable, potentially leading to the premature end of an epoch, with the Black Calamity Tide sweeping across the entire world!

At that time, countless forces would be annihilated, turning into a handful of dust in the great calamity.

Even Holy Land-level forces would be no exception, and Immortal-level Holy Lands could be destroyed.

Supreme-level Holy Lands would suffer severe losses!

"Hmph!"

The Yuanshi Holy Lord snorted, "It's simple if you want me to stop: hand over Luo Jinghong, that wicked spawn, so I can personally suppress her, and the Xuantian Holy Son must receive his due punishment for insulting my Yuanshi Holy Land!"

He naturally did not want to start an Emperor-level war either.

However, since he had already summoned the gate of yuanshi and paid such a heavy price, it was naturally impossible to end it so hastily.

Aside from anything else, Luo Jinghong, with whom he had an irreconcilable grudge, absolutely could not be allowed to grow.

She was only a little over five hundred years old, yet her cultivation had already reached the Saint Emperor Second Heaven. In a few more centuries, wouldn't she become a Supreme?

With such a Cultivation speed, she even had hope of becoming a Great Emperor!

Moreover, this Luo Jinghong's cultivation was not only astonishingly high, but her strength was also Heaven-Defying.

The reason he couldn't control himself and summoned the gate of yuanshi was because Luo Jinghong's final blow made his heart palpitate.

He had a premonition that if he were hit by that ice wheel, not only would this Primordial Spirit Clone dissipate, but his main body would also face the danger of falling!

Even if he didn't fall, his consciousness would most likely be annihilated, and he would become an empty shell Puppet controlled by her!

"Impossible!"

Jiang Wuju flatly refused his unreasonable demands.

Even though he had made concessions to the Yuanshi Holy Land in many areas for the survival of the Xuantian Holy Land, neither of the two demands made by the Yuanshi Holy Lord could be agreed to.

"Jiang Wuju, it seems you want to start an Emperor-level war!"

The Yuanshi Holy Lord's attitude was unyielding.

Behind him, the gate of yuanshi spanned the Void Realm, and the Chaos Dao patterns carved on its doors lit up in sequence, each stroke seemingly re-enacting the magnificent epic of the Grandmist's initial opening.

The Origin Qi of the entire world wildly poured in, actually condensing into nine Chaos Heavenly Rivers around the gate frame, with billions of shattered ancient realm fragments shimmering in the waves!

"It's you who wants to start an Emperor-level war!"

Jiang Wuju roared, "Five hundred years ago, you suppressed my Revered Master on the grounds that he colluded with a Demonic Path enchantress. Today, five hundred years later, what excuse do you want to find?"

Insulting your Yuanshi Holy Land? That excuse isn't enough!"

"Haha."

The Yuanshi Holy Lord laughed, "Is that an excuse? The wicked spawn born from your Revered Master, Luo Zichuan, and that Demonic Path enchantress is still standing beside you. Such wicked spawn must be suppressed together to uphold the might of my Heavenly Dao Alliance!"

As soon as these words came out, some people who were unaware of the inside story of Luo Zichuan's suppression back then were somewhat surprised.

"So the previous Xuantian Holy Master was suppressed for colluding with a Demonic Path enchantress?"

"How foolish, as the Revered Master of the Xuantian Holy Land, one of the Ten Supreme-level Holy Lands of the Righteous Path, he actually colluded with a Demonic Path enchantress. No wonder he was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

"Luo Zichuan must have colluded with Zuo Yuqiao, the Sect Saintess of the Heaven Punishing Dao, one of the Seven Paths of the Demonic Sect. She suddenly disappeared five hundred years ago; it must be related to this matter."

"I didn't expect the two of them to collude and even have a daughter."

"..."

Even Gu Qingchen was a little surprised.

He didn't expect Luo Jinghong to have such an identity.

Her parents were the Holy Revered Master of one of the Ten Holy Lands of the Righteous Path and Zuo Yuqiao, the Sect Saintess of the Heaven Punishing Dao, one of the Seven Paths of the Demonic Sect.

Such a background had a taste of destiny.

"No wonder she has always been solitary and cultivated desperately, wanting to become powerful..."

Everything could be explained clearly.

When Luo Jinghong was young, she originally had a happy family, but then a sudden drastic change occurred: her father was suppressed, and her mother's whereabouts were unknown.

Perhaps all these years, she has been sustained by the hatred in her heart and the obsession to rescue her father.

"Looking at it this way, Elder Luo also seems to have a bit of the 'person of destiny' vibe, combined with her recent surge in cultivation, perhaps..."

Gu Qingchen was lost in thought.

In fact, even he was very surprised by the strength Luo Jinghong had just displayed.

Just a few months ago, she was only at Saint King Fourth Heaven, but in a short time, she had surged to Saint Emperor Second Heaven. It seemed that her strength was always significantly stronger each time they met, and this rate of strength increase was extremely abnormal.

While Gu Qingchen was deep in thought, a mirror light shot up from the depths of the Xuantian Holy Land.

Immediately, a divine mirror hung above the Xuantian Holy Land.

As the mirror surface rotated, it reflected myriad worlds, and countless projections of worlds within the mirror cascaded down, protecting the entire boundless Xuantian Continent, enveloping it in a shimmering illusion interwoven with reality and void.

At this point, the two ultimate emperor weapons truly confronted each other.

An Emperor-level war was on the verge of breaking out!

The people from the various Holy Lands who came to observe the ceremony were all sweating profusely, but the four from the Heavenly Secret Holy Land were not too flustered.

Although the emergence of the ultimate emperor weapons had disturbed the Heavenly Dao, and they didn't know what would happen next.

However, after this event, the Xuantian Continent was still there, and the Xuantian Holy Land was also still there, which was enough to indicate that this event had not escalated to an irreversible point.

If an Emperor-level war truly erupted, it wouldn't be impossible for the Xuantian Continent to be shattered.

After all, the power of an Emperor-level being was truly terrifying.

One must know that before the Primordial Era, this world had a full three thousand Great Worlds!

It was precisely because of countless Emperor battles that more than two thousand Great Worlds were shattered.

To this day, the fragments of those shattered Great Worlds still occupy an immensely vast space, known as the Emperor Ruins Battlefield.

It secretly contained all sorts of terrifying dangers, and also buried countless Opportunities and Legacies.

During every Golden Great Era, countless peerless Prodigies entered it for training and to seek Opportunities.

Each time, many Prodigies gained benefits, obtained Emperor-level Legacies, and founded a Holy Land!

"If you insist on this, then my Xuantian Holy Land is not afraid of a fight!"
