Chapter 841 841: Hooked a Big Fish

Quasi-Emperor.

Ultimately, it is not a true Emperor Realm.

As Xu Lai's realm pressure spread, Zi Tianxuan, Chou Sihai, and the other Holy Land leaders instantly turned pale.

They felt as if their Dao foundations were about to collapse, hurriedly mobilizing the spiritual energy within to protect themselves.

At the same time.

Their faces showed shock because they could vaguely sense from the pressure that the supreme expert of the Immortal Domain seemed indeed uninjured.

The pressure was like a sword drawn from its sheath. If there were any flaws in the sword, it would be obvious at a glance.

And The Supreme Emperor.

Was like a flawless and razor-sharp sword.

"The Supreme Emperor is not injured!"

Holy Master Yu Die of the Black Moon Butterfly Clan's beautiful eyes shrank, even feeling the urge to curse Zi Tianxuan's ancestors.

Purple Star Palace had vowed that there was at least an eighty percent chance of confirming the impending fall and seated transformation of The Supreme Emperor.

Is this what Zi Tianxuan meant by eighty percent???

Holy Master Chou Sihai of the Blood Gu Hall and Holy Master Tong Wannian of the Sky-reaching Nine-horned Ants were equally furious towards Zi Tianxuan.

"So the mastermind was Purple Star Palace."

Baize noticed the gaze of the many Holy Masters and nodded slightly, tossing a black and white chess piece into the air.

"Swish"

The black chess piece spun continuously, emitting layers of black and white light, enveloping the entire Heavenly Court.

Seeing this scene.

Zi Tianxuan's heart sank.

The seventeen of them were sealed in the main hall of the Heavenly Court, unable to pass through the black and white barrier using any teleportation divine skills, magical treasures, or divine senses.

"Everyone, the Heavenly Court has long regarded us as thorns in their side. Even if we didn't come today, our Holy Lands behind us would not be spared."

"So do you plan to turn against each other now, or work with me to find a way to escape the Heavenly Court!"

Zi Tianxuan quickly calmed down and asked the other Holy Masters in a deep voice.

Escape.

They must escape.

Faced with a peak Great Emperor, not only their measly seventeen people, even double that wouldn't necessarily be able to kill Great Emperor Qingfeng.

At a critical moment of life and death.

Zi Tianxuan and the other seventeen Holy Masters decided to join forces. Hua Xuemei also joined in confusion.

No choice but to join.

She didn't know what the Heavenly Court meant now, whether they intended to take the opportunity to eliminate the Fengyue Pavilion or have her continue as an undercover agent.

In any case, joining was definitely the right decision.

"Swish"

"Swish"

"Swish"

Seventeen Quasi-Emperor Artifacts appeared, their various lights flowing, instantly forming a defensive barrier.

"Ridiculous."

Xu Lai didn't even use the Qingfeng Sword Intent, merely took one step forward.

"Screech—"

Cracks appeared on the barrier formed by the seventeen Quasi-Emperor Artifacts, and they continued to expand.

"Quickly strengthen the barrier with spiritual energy!"

Zi Tianxuan urgently said, "I have a secret treasure. As long as we can delay for three breaths, we can leave this place."

Secret treasure!?

Yu Die, Chou Sihai, and others looked over abruptly.

Their eyes filled with a strong desire for survival, they poured nearly all their spiritual energy into the Quasi-Emperor Artifacts.

However...

The increasing cracks on the barrier weren't repaired but instead spread rapidly to the Quasi-Emperor Artifacts.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang"

Like fireworks set off by mischievous children, a series of explosions sounded.

The exact number.

Precisely seventeen.

Each explosion meant an Emperor Artifact turning to dust.

"My Butterfly Phoenix Hairpin!"

Yu Die's eyes turned blood-red, for it was the Quasi-Emperor Artifact she had used since birth, long integrated into part of her being.

But now it shattered before her eyes.

Xu Lai glanced at Yu Die and took a second step.

"——"

The echo of the hairpin still lingered.

Yu Die's body fell powerlessly to the ground, a bloody hole mysteriously appearing on her forehead.

Third step.

Fourth step.

Fifth step.

With each step Xu Lai took, another Quasi-Emperor body fell.

These Holy Land leaders, whose mere footfall could shake the Immortal Domain three times, were as fragile as paper at this moment.

Chou Sihai and Tong Wannian's limbs were cold as they shouted:

"How much longer for your secret treasure!"

Zi Tianxuan bit her lip hard.

The secret treasure was gifted by a prominent figure, originally meant to be used by merely shattering it.

But here was the Heavenly Court.

With layers of defensive arrays and restrictions.

Plus the two chess pieces from Baize's Divine General, forcefully delaying for three-breaths' time!

Now...

It had been less than a breath since she shattered the secret treasure.

"Puff"

"Puff"

"Puff"

At the end of the first breath, Xu Lai had taken a total of eleven steps, destroyed seventeen Quasi-Emperor Artifacts, and slain ten Holy Master-level Quasi-Emperors.

Zi Tianxuan knew that before the end of the second breath, they would all likely perish here.

A sense of hopelessness slowly rose in her heart.

Is this the true power of the Emperor Realm?

Quasi-Emperors were really no different from ants in the eyes of the Emperor Realm, easily crushed with a finger.

But.

Zi Tianxuan was unwilling to die just like this!

She directly grabbed a Quasi-Emperor next to her, a Holy Master from the Wind Sea Gate who had just stepped into the Third Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor.

"Squelch!"

An abnormal sound made even Xu Lai raise an eyebrow.

"Zi Tianxuan, what are you doing!!!" Chou Sihai yelled angrily.

Zi Tianxuan's right hand had pierced into the body of the Wind Sea Gate's Holy Master, fresh blood pouring over her.

The Holy Master looked bewildered.

It was ultimately not Great Emperor Qingfeng who killed her, but Zi Tianxuan from behind.

"Doing what?"

With half her pretty face stained with blood, Zi Tianxuan said with no expression: "Of course, doing what it takes to keep us alive."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz"

The silver secret treasure fragment in Zi Tianxuan's palm stained with Quasi-Emperor Blood, began to tremble violently, immediately draining the Wind Sea Gate's Holy Master dry.

"Boom!"

The silver secret treasure fragment refracted countless silver lights, forming a gigantic silver gate in the air.

As soon as it appeared, a heavy sense of time washed over them, as if the gate had existed since ancient times.

"A portal!"

Zi Tianxuan exulted.

It worked; sacrificing a Quasi-Emperor successfully preemptively activated the secret treasure.

She was the first to fly towards the giant silver gate, with barely a ten-foot distance from the 'Gate of Life.'

Ten feet.

For a Quasi-Emperor's speed, it's less than a split-second.

"Go!"

Holy Master Chou Sihai of the Blood Gu Hall and Holy Master Tong Wannian of the Sky-reaching Nine-horned Ants exchanged a glance and simultaneously turned to fly to the giant silver gate.

The remaining Quasi-Emperors did the same.

"Interesting."

Xu Lai stared at the gate, murmuring to himself: "It has existed for a long time, likely not a product of recent eras, only achievable by an Emperor Realm."

Unfortunately.

The gigantic silver gate had no Emperor Realm aura, leaving Xu Lai uncertain which Great Emperor had crafted it.

Thus.

Purple Star Palace, Blood Gu Hall, Sky-reaching Nine-horned Ants and other Holy Lands were merely puppets.

There was another Great Emperor behind them, or possibly...more than one.

"Originally just intending to weed out some tumors for the Immortal Domain, I didn't expect to catch a big fish."

Xu Lai's eyes gleamed with divine light.

He calmly extended his hand, crushing the giant silver gate into a palm-sized sphere.

"No!!!"

Zi Tianxuan screamed in despair.

That was her hope for survival. Without the gate, how could they survive at the hands of Great Emperor Qingfeng?
