Once he had Chen Xilai’s physical body, he would be able to use a secret technique to locate the Heavenly Evil Orb. Only with the Heavenly Evil Orb would he have the hope of becoming a Great Emperor, otherwise, even returning to the status of a Quasi Emperor would be difficult in this life.
“For the control of the Heavenly Sovereign Path, anyone who obstructs me will die!”
Tens of thousands of miles away, Dangyang Mountain.
Many powerful figures had already risen on Dangyang Mountain, and the moment the seal on the mountain was completely shattered, they all awoke.
From the Penglai Immortal Sect, Fairy Ling Lingshuang, the Third Patriarch of Baiyujing, Lu Zhen, the Barbarian Emperor from the Summit of Stars, the Devil Emperor of Blood Sea from the Heavenly Demon Hall, and Jiang Taijing, the holder of the House of Divine Armies’ Prison Spear.
Five Divine Yuan Realm martial emperors were positioned at the five points of the heavens, their expressions differing as they looked towards Dangyang Mountain.
“Fellow Daoists, at present, Chen Xilai of the Heavenly Blade is weak and barely matches the Divine Yuan Realm in terms of aura. The few of us can completely handle him, there’s no need to wait for others, right?”
The Devil Emperor of Blood Sea from the Heavenly Demon Hall was the first to speak, standing on a blood-red lotus dais with a sinister expression.
After the Heavenly Blade Chen Xilai was sealed in his mad demon state, all the Great Holy Land Schools had a part in it and left means to steal his cultivation for their descendants, providing an opportunity for the future generations.
But there were at most seven portions of this opportunity.
The forces that came to deal with the Dangyang Mountain incident included not only the Great Holy Land Schools such as Baiyujing, Xumi Mountain, and Myriad Demon Mountain but also the two Shenyuan Realm Powers, Emperor Mingtian and the Ancient Empire.
Even though the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing of the Myriad Demon Mountain had gone missing and forfeited the chance at Dangyang Mountain, that still left eight Divine Yuan Realm martial emperors.
Eight Divine Yuan Realm martial emperors vying for seven portions of opportunity could result in casualties, and no one was certain of victory.
It would be better to take advantage of the few people now and deal with Chen Xilai immediately, each securing a portion of opportunity first. Then it would be easier to contest the remaining two portions later on.
“Agreed.”
“No opposition.”
The Barbarian Emperor from the Summit of Stars and Jiang Taijing of the House of Divine Armies expressed their opinions.
The Devil Emperor of Blood Sea turned to Fairy Ling Lingshuang of the Penglai Immortal Sect and Lu Zhen of Baiyujing, asking in a deep voice, “What do the two of you think?”
Lu Zhen glanced at Ling Lingshuang and said indifferently, “I don’t care much about opportunity, but I must take Chen Xilai’s physical body with me.”
With an immensely profound background, Baiyujing didn’t place much value on the opportunity from Dangyang Mountain. For Lu Zhen, the Third Patriarch of Baiyujing, another motive for coming was Chen Xilai’s physical body.
His master once hinted to him that Chen Xilai’s physical body was of great importance. If brought back to Baiyujing, it might be possible to use an Imperial Soldier to deduce the whereabouts of that red bead from the past.
The Dao Sovereign of Baiyujing’s previous generation had pursued that red bead but ultimately failed to obtain it.
The former Dao Sovereign had left some information stating that once the seal of Dangyang Mountain broke, they must seize Chen Xilai’s physical body as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, the Devil Emperor of Blood Sea narrowed his eyes, the Barbarian Emperor’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and Jiang Taijing remained expressionless; they all had plans for Chen Xilai’s physical body.
Initially, they wanted to act in secret, but Lu Zhen from Baiyujing was so direct that it seemed they would have to rely on their own abilities when the time came.
“I have no objections.”
Fairy Ling Lingshuang of the Penglai Immortal Sect said with a hint of light flashing in her eyes.
“Since all fellow Daoists agree to take action early, let’s begin then. As for Chen Xilai’s physical body, we will rely on our own abilities when the time comes, how about that?” the Devil Emperor of Blood Sea said in a deep voice.
“Agreeable.”
Lu Zhen, Jiang Taijing, Ling Lingshuang, and the Barbarian Emperor all nodded slightly.
Instantly, the five Divine Yuan Realm martial emperors brought out their respective Sacred Soldiers they had brought with them, placing them above their heads. They shone with holy light, protecting themselves and ensuring safety before they were ready to take action.
“Wait a moment!”
Just then, two voices rose simultaneously between heaven and earth.
Lu Zhen, Ling Lingshuang, the Devil Emperor of Blood Sea, the Barbarian Emperor, and Jiang Taijing frowned and turned towards the source of the voices, only to see two figures crossing the void from different directions and approaching.
In the next instant, the joyful Arhat clad in Buddhist robes appeared, and from another direction, the Heaven Lord of Emperor Mingtian arrived, an elegant middle-aged man in green clothes, holding a White Feather Folding Fan in his hand.
“You fellow Daoists really are inconsiderate. The group isn’t complete yet, how could you start without everyone?”
The joyful Arhat said with a laugh, his tone a bit dissatisfied.
The Heaven Lord of Emperor Mingtian glanced at Chen Xilai below Dangyang Mountain and smiled, saying nothing more.
The Devil Emperor of Blood Sea narrowed his eyes, about to speak, when ripples appeared in the void, and another Divine Yuan Realm martial emperor arrived, the tardy Xuanyi Elder from the Ancient Empire.
“Ancient War Spirit, you really took your time. You might as well have not shown up,” the Devil Emperor of Blood Sea said coldly, venting his dissatisfaction on Xuanyi Elder, Ancient War Spirit.
If Ancient War Spirit had not come, the seven of them would have been perfectly matched for the seven portions of opportunity.
“Devil Emperor of Blood Sea, I didn’t want to come, but I had no choice,” Xuanyi Elder, Ancient War Spirit, sighed, ignoring his discontent.
The Barbarian Emperor said indifferently, “Then you might as well just watch.”
“That won’t do. Since I’ve come, I deserve a share of the opportunity,” the Xuanyi Elder said in a somewhat assertive tone.
They wanted him to contribute without getting benefits in return? That was unacceptable.
Since they had to unveil their powers anyway, it was better to secure an opportunity first.
Many thousands of miles from Dangyang Mountain, there was a small mountain a thousand feet high. The figure of Emperor Wu’s City’s master appeared, using a secret technique to conceal his aura and spying on Dangyang Mountain expressionlessly.
Even from tens of thousands of miles away, he could clearly hear and see everything happening on Dangyang Mountain. At this moment, the former Peak Quasi-Emperor was very displeased.
