As the Zhi Di Jing surrounded them, Fu Xiu smiled enigmatically, assisting Yun Shijiu in refining the Dragon Qi. The blood sacrifice of the Bat Wing Clan's ancestral spirits awakened the ancestral souls of the Imperial Realm. Before they could even mourn the destruction of the Bat Wing Clan, they were forcibly controlled to self-destruct, transforming into a barrier that even the Imperial Realm could not break, imprisoning the entire Ancestral Domain.
An ominous blood light enveloped the Batwing Ancestral Domain, preventing the approaching Imperial Realm from stepping foot inside. Ji Wei's enchanting face turned cold: "How ruthless! To blood sacrifice the Bat Wing Clan! This must be the doing of the Batwing Clan; otherwise, the Clan Domain would not be so easily manipulated!"
The Bi Fang Emperor, accompanied by Zun Zhe Jing's Feng Rujiao, frowned upon witnessing this: "It's Fu Xiu. I thought he would perish alongside Long Chang, but unexpectedly—"
Yue Qi appeared, mocking: "Unexpectedly what? Even you, Bi Fang Emperor, should know that Ben Di thought you were more noble than this."
At this point, Feng Rujiao spoke without reservation, retorting sharply. "What qualifications do you have to mock others? You are the one who extracted Yun Zhi Yue's Xian Gu and merged it into the Empress's body, using phoenix blood and Tai Chu's power to suppress the Heavenly Emperor. That gave you your chance to rise to power."
"We are accomplices, but you are the mastermind and the one who benefited the most. You forged the enmity between Yun Zhi Yue and the Heavenly Emperor with your own hands. Today, you will witness Yun Zhi Yue die at the hands of the Heavenly Emperor—this is your retribution!"
Slap!
The sword energy struck Feng Rujiao's face mercilessly, leaving a deep gash that exposed bone. Feng Rujiao cried out in agony as blood poured from her fingers.
Bi Fang Emperor had never expected Li Shang to attack a junior, caught off guard by the defense. Furious, he shouted: "Li Shang! Do you still have any shame?"
Li Shang ignored Bi Fang and focused on Feng Rujiao: "Yue Qi has his retribution; yours is just beginning."
"Ben Jun thinks that Yun Zhi Yue would want to resolve this personally, so I had no intention of killing you. However, you should refrain from mentioning Yun Zhi Yue in front of Ben Jun. My killing intent is hard to suppress."
"As long as Ben Jun is alive and cannot be extinguished, your face will never recover. Consider it a small gift for the Heavenly Queen; no need to thank me."
Feng Rujiao transformed into a water mirror and saw her brow and jaw pierced through, revealing bone beneath her skin. She shrieked in despair: "My face!"
Bi Fang Emperor hurriedly tried to comfort her and heal her wounds, but it was futile. Enraged, he shouted: "Li Shang! What if Ben Jun also targeted Yun Zhi Yue?"
Li Shang scoffed: "Do as you wish. Ben Jun's disciple can battle even the Heavenly Emperor; why would he fear a mere bird?"
Su Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The Tide Emperor paid little attention to these disputes; his brows furrowed slightly as he pondered where his disciple and Ying Ying were. In a fight at this level, getting caught up would surely lead to suffering.
In fact, it was not just that. Han Xi, Wang Zhu, Xuan Hui Hui, and Ying Ying were among the most unfortunate individuals in this grand competition.
They spoke of experience, but starting off in the Imperial Realm—who could withstand that? Their cultivation showed no signs of improvement; instead, they were losing energy rapidly. Although they were currently under the protection of Fu Xiu Di, the truth was that no one had the time to pay attention to these insignificant ants. Di Wei existed, but he was not there to protect them.
One could only imagine their state. Yun Zhi Yue belonged to the Yin, while the Heavenly Emperor represented Yang. The clash of ice and fire was directly against them, and if this continued, who could endure it?
The four of them were desperately searching for a hole to hide in, prioritizing their survival above all else.
Heavens, what is this thing?
Ying Ying commanded as Wang Zhu, leading the way into a hole, was taken aback. Inside the cave, numerous dark-eyed humanoid creatures lunged at them, their bodies dissipating upon impact only to gather again nearby and charge at them once more.
