Dragons should never pry into the future; the way of heaven has its balance and will eventually backfire on itself.
Yun Shijiu was rescued by Suye Emperor, hissing as he climbed down from the pillar and plopped down on the ground, unafraid of what the Emperors might do to him. Li Shang held his sister tightly, likely another difficult man to deal with. Given his sister's presence, he certainly wouldn't allow Shijiu to be killed under his watch.
Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor of the Dragon Clan was different from others; he had no fear of exposing his identity as Nie Long. He looked at Ji Wei and said, "Tian Hu Di Jun wants to fight to the death with the Phoenix Clan. Eventually, I will be hunted by the Dragon Clan as well. Once I grow stronger in the future, we can join forces. The Long Feng clans have ruled the heavenly realm for so long; it's time for a change."
Ji Wei did not dismiss Shijiu's bravado but instead seemed intrigued. "Do you know what it means to receive the Heaven and Earth Bestow Mandate? The Phoenix Clan can barely be killed, but no one can extinguish the Dragon Clan."
Yun Shijiu scoffed, "I heard my sister say that being bestowed means that heaven and earth have recognized the Dragon Clan as rulers of the heavenly realm. Yue Qi, who sits in the Heavenly Emperor Position, cannot be killed either, which is quite laughable."
"Does Tai Chu not have a ruler? But what happened afterward? The race was still annihilated, and it was you Emperors who rose to create a new Era. There is nothing in this world that cannot be killed; it just requires finding a way."
The Four Emperors fell silent, and Yun Shijiu wanted to continue his disdainful remarks.
Yun Zhi Yue opened her eyes. "You are merely at Imperial Heaven Realm; wanting to kill Yue Qi is far beyond your reach. He is not someone you can defeat."
Yun Shijiu was surprised. "Sister, didn’t you participate in the Illusion Realm?"
Ji Wei squinted. "Ben Jun personally extracted your soul essence."
"Yes, I participated in the Illusion Realm, but the will belonging to Tai Chu within me has awakened. Tai Chu signifies an end; everything related will be erased from existence—something you cannot comprehend."
Ji Wei nodded. "It seems that due to Ben Jun's illusionary path, you have explored some of your inherited memories. What about Tai Chu?"
"Not much; I forgot everything upon waking up. Who am I? Just a half-disabled person now. But leveling up is still possible—let's go with Zun Jing."
As soon as those words left his mouth, Yun Zhi Yue's cultivation level surged to Zun Jing. Aside from a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy, there was no other sign of advancement—it was as if it had always been this way.
Yun Shijiu widened his eyes. "Sister, are you not being too abnormal?"
Yun Zhi Yue stood up from Li Shang's embrace and adjusted her dress. "Who are you calling abnormal? Have you leveled up normally?"
"I—I am abnormal, but I never walked a righteous path to begin with! Yet it’s not supposed to be this exaggerated! With you acting like this, I feel no sense of achievement at all."
"I thought among us three, I would be the one with the highest cultivation level and naturally become the leader. Now I'm reduced to being second?"
Yun Zhi Yue paused for a moment before bursting into laughter, leaving Yun Shijiu confused.
"Do you know what it means to be second?"
Yun Shijiu replied, "What does that mean?"
Before he could ask further, Yun Zhi Yue had already picked up one side of the Wuyue Killing Sword and charged out, shouting, "Who dares to spy? Show yourself!"
A new illusion appeared, resembling a Gothic-style villa that looked like it belonged to the underworld. A seemingly ordinary young man stood in the way of the Wuyue Killing Sword.
Yun Zhi Yue was already at the Zun Jing level, and logically, he should have completely overpowered this Zhao Yue, who was at the Celestial Realm Pinnacle. However, the reality was quite different.
As he gazed at the villa adorned in earthy yellow, ghostly green, and dark red hues, Yun Shijiu's expression grew increasingly grim. This villa was a home designed collectively by their Sister Three disciples.
Zhao Yue, the disciple of Yue Qi, had conjured an illusion of this very villa—his identity was self-evident.
In the past, when the brothers joined forces, they had entered the heavenly realm with great ambition. Yet this scoundrel had nearly killed him. Yun Shijiu couldn't help but lose his temper and charged into the illusion, hammering away furiously.
As he struck, he transmitted a scathing remark: "Scoundrel, did you get plastic surgery? You look much better than before!"
