Buzz!
A sudden and unexpected event has occurred over the Sea of Death in the northern desert!
The sky, which was originally shrouded in the dark desert storm and was shrouded in darkness, seemed to be suddenly torn apart by an invisible giant hand!
A golden radiance containing boundless majesty, eternal existence, and supremacy over all living beings.
Breaking through the layers of storm, it instantly illuminated this blood-soaked Gobi Desert.
Its radiance even surpassed the black storm that raged across the land; its magnificent divine power illuminated the entire desert!
Throughout the entire northern desert, in countless oasis towns and tribal camps, warriors and civilians, whatever they were doing...
At that moment, everyone felt something, looked up in shock, and gazed at the sky!
Above the endless, high sky, dazzling golden light gathered.
It transformed into an enormous, golden book-like phantom, seemingly bearing the laws of heaven and earth, stretching across the universe!
The book slowly unfolded, as if the heavens had opened their eyes to examine the human world.
On the pages, lines of text, seemingly cast in gold and imbued with supreme will, appeared one by one, clearly imprinted in the depths of the hearts of every person who looked up below:
Deep in the northern desert, on the sea of death, lies the ancient land of Loulan.
[Li Xijun, ranked first on the Human Ranking, the "Azure Emperor," is now surrounded and attacked by Gao Wang, ranked second on the Human Ranking, who leads a hundred elite cavalrymen from the Golden Wolf Royal Court.]
[King Gao is the direct descendant of the High Priest of the Golden Wolf Royal Court. He possesses all nine acupoints at their peak and is infamous for his ferocity. He once escaped from the clutches of a Grandmaster of Outer Realm, thus earning second place on the Human Ranking. His hundred riders are all Golden Wolf Guards with six or more acupoints, forming the "Golden Wolf Howling at the Moon" battle formation. Their murderous aura soars to the heavens, their power infinitely approaching that of an Outer Realm strike!]
However, Li Xijun, the "Azure Emperor," treated the charge of a hundred cavalrymen as nothing. With a flick of his sleeve, a barrier formed in the void, and with a thought, it shattered the iron cavalry, annihilating more than twenty elite troops in an instant!
Facing the overwhelming force of a hundred riders personally leading the charge and unleashing an attack of overwhelming power, the "Azure Emperor" neither drew his sword nor showed any emotion, merely meeting the attack with a single finger.
Its fingers are like swords, embodying the supreme intent of the Azure Emperor descending to earth, containing the full potential of life and creation, as well as the ultimate killing power to annihilate all laws!
With a single finger, the "Golden Wolf Howling at the Moon" battle formation collapsed. A hundred elite cavalrymen suffered fatal backlash, and the High King was pierced through the brow, dying instantly. From beginning to end, not a single sword was drawn, not a single step was taken; it was all done with effortless ease, like crushing an ant!
In this battle, the strength displayed by "Azure Emperor" Li Xijun has completely transcended the realm of Qi Opening, reaching a level that is inconceivable and unfathomable! His title of "Azure Emperor" is truly well-deserved!
[Rankings on the leaderboard have changed: Li Xijun is now undisputed number one!]
[King Gao, fallen, stripped of his title.]
[Heaven's will is in its sights; this decree is hereby issued for all to know!]
The last four words in gold lettering were "undisputed."
As if carrying the absolute will of Heaven, it crashed heavily into the hearts of all the witnesses!
After the announcement, the golden book-like phantom slowly closed.
The immense and unparalleled pressure of the Heavenly Dao gradually dissipated.
But the contents recorded on it were like the most violent storm, instantly sweeping across the entire world!
The winds and sands of the northern desert still howl, but the area around that small oasis ruin is eerily silent.
The corpses of over a hundred Golden Wolf Guards were scattered all over the ground.
Li Qinghan looked at her calm younger brother beside her, her usually cool eyes now filled with turbulent emotions.
And in the world, only the fading golden afterglow and the final judgment, like a divine decree, seemed to remain, silently announcing the arrival of a new era—
The Azure Emperor has descended upon the world, drawing all eyes to him!
Those of the same generation who look upon him feel only despair!
Duan Heyu and the monk Kongzhu stood in the courtyard of Beiyan County, looking up at the gradually fading golden afterglow. Their faces showed little surprise, only deep emotion.
"Damn, that bastard Gao Wang—he's ranked second on the Human Ranking, with a fearsome reputation, yet he couldn't even force Brother Li to unleash a single sword strike?"
Duan Heyu clicked his tongue, his tone laced with disbelief and a hint of mockery. "This name, 'Azure Emperor,' seems to be much more fitting than we initially thought. One finger—just one finger!"
The monk Kongzhu clasped his hands together, uttered a soft Buddhist chant, and even his usually calm face couldn't hide the shock he felt.
"Amitabha Buddha—the abilities of Benefactor Li are beyond the comprehension of this humble monk. To him, being second on the list of people is no different from being a clay chicken or a clay dog. After this, I fear that no one of his generation will dare to even think of competing with him. This is not a matter of human power, but rather close to the Tao."
In a pavilion not far away,
Han Qiong and Fang Qinghua stood by the railing, both remaining silent for a long time.
finally,
Han Qiong let out a long breath, a bitter smile appearing on his face:
"Brother Fang, do you still think there's a chance to catch up?"
Fang Qinghua gripped the railing tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
He gazed at the sky, his eyes filled with complex emotions, which ultimately turned into a long sigh. He shook his head, his voice tinged with desolation.
"Enough—" How can humans and immortals compete? All my previous resentment now seems like nothing more than the babbling of a frog in a well. There truly are unreasonable beings in this world.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the same emotion in each other's eyes.
It was a complete, helpless sense of relief.
Being born in the same era as such figures is both their misfortune and perhaps a kind of fortune, as they at least witnessed the rise of a legend.
All their competitive spirit vanished completely under that one finger.
Beijing,
A secluded courtyard in a quiet place.
The elder of the Hehuan Xuannv Sect, Fairy Muyue, ranked thirty-sixth on the Earth Ranking, was lazily leaning on a soft couch, playing with a jade slip that emitted a faint fragrance between her slender fingers. It was the main volume of the "Three Volumes of Heavenly Fragrance".
However, if someone could bypass the senses of this Earthly Ranking Grandmaster and get to her side to take a closer look,
You will surely discover the dual cultivation method in the "Heavenly Fragrance Scroll" of the "Three Scrolls of Heavenly Fragrance".
What is recorded is not the mutually beneficial method between men and women as described by Li Xijun.
Instead, it is a method that completely drains and devours another person, from their spiritual power to their very essence.
A golden book appeared in the sky.
She slightly raised her eyelids, looking at the lines of awe-inspiring text. Instead of surprise, her beautiful face revealed a smile of increasing satisfaction and amusement, as if she had discovered a priceless treasure.
"Hehe. This is getting more and more interesting."
She murmured to herself, her voice ethereal yet alluring, "The second-ranked on the Human Ranking, a hundred-horse battle formation, couldn't even force you to draw your sword—such talent, such foundation, is rare indeed."
Her eyes gleamed with a strange light, the kind of joy and greed a hunter feels when he sees his most perfect prey.
"If such a perfect elixir could be absorbed and refined, encompassing its essence, fortune, and even destiny, it might not be impossible to not only break through the three levels of the Outer Realm, but also directly attain the Dharma Body and glimpse the supreme realm—"
She gently rubbed the jade slip in her hand.
It's as if I can already see Li Xijun being aroused by the "Heavenly Fragrance" method recorded in the "Three Volumes of Heavenly Fragrance".
Ultimately, they fell into the trap she had woven, becoming her excellent resources for ascending to the Great Way.
"Little one—don't let your sister down—hurry up and become stronger—"
Her red lips parted slightly, her breath sweet as orchids, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
The Sea of Death, the Loulan Oasis.
Compared to the Bitter Spring Oasis, this oasis is more than ten times larger. The remaining ancient ruins are mixed with newly built earthen and wooden buildings, forming the largest gathering place for people deep in the northern desert, a place where all sorts of people mingle and information flows freely.
Oasis Center
An inn called "Lonely Smoke Inn" is doing very well.
No one knows when the innkeeper came here; it's just that an inn was built here at some point, and the innkeeper is known as "Su Manniang".
She looked to be in her early thirties, mature and voluptuous, with striking good looks. Every smile she gave exuded the charm of a mature woman, attracting many customers to linger in the shop.
But in this desolate northern land, a woman who can run such a large inn is no ordinary person.
A foolish wanderer once tried to force himself on her, only to be found the next day in the desert, his bones shattered.
Over time, some people began to speculate that this Su Manniang, the proprietress, was very likely a hidden powerhouse at the Outer Realm, or even someone from a powerful organization. Therefore, despite the large number of people, no one dared to act recklessly anymore.
now,
Su Manniang was leaning against the counter, seemingly fiddling with an abacus, but her gaze occasionally swept across the dazzling golden characters in the sky outside the window and the gradually dissipating strange phenomena.
When you see phrases like "Emperor Qingdi Li Xijun," "Destroying King Gao with a single finger," and "All 100 riders perished,"
Her fingers, which were manipulating the abacus, paused slightly, and a faint hint of surprise and seriousness flashed in her charming eyes.
"A truly extraordinary prodigy has emerged."
She thought to herself, "But he's so young, with such strength—why would he come to this Sea of Death? And right near Loulan no less—"
She looked thoughtfully at the ancient ruins deep within the oasis, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Could it be that he also came because of that sudden celestial phenomenon?"
As someone who has been entrenched in this area for many years and actually shoulders a special mission, she is extremely sensitive to any slightest disturbance.
"The previous strange phenomenon was ancient and obscure, but it contained an indescribable imperial might and was quite similar to the aura of the 'Night Emperor' recorded in the ancient books of the sect."
Could it be that the 'Night Emperor's Tomb,' which has been silent for countless years, is finally about to be revealed?
Her eyes gradually deepened.
Her greatest mission in guarding this desolate oasis for so many years is...
The goal is to find clues to the legendary tomb of the "Night Emperor" and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Xuanwu Venerables throughout the ages.
But for so many years, there has been no clue what to do.
Last time, the strange phenomenon also vanished in a flash, and she searched for a long time but couldn't find any clues.
But now that I've seen news about Li Xijun,
Upon closer reflection, it's remarkable that such an unusual phenomenon occurred in the Gobi Desert, which had been peaceful for countless years, only a month after Li Xijun's first visit there.
Now, he has been reported to the entire server by the [Book of Dust] once again, and he is already close to the place where the strange phenomenon occurred.
Could it be that the strange phenomenon and the Night Emperor's tomb are related to this kid?
She greeted the shop's customers with her usual charming yet enigmatic smile, while a subtle glint of shrewdness flashed deep within her eyes.
