Chapter 2254 - 2253: You’ve Changed... (4 Updates!)
Almost in the very first instant, these two Dao Sovereign Realm experts knew who the attacker was.
That was why their faces changed drastically, their terror extreme!
"Holy Emperor, spare us!!!"
The two simultaneously let out a hoarse roar, but that hidden figure in the dark seemed as if they hadn’t heard at all; the terrifying ripples showed not the slightest intention of pausing.
"Seven-Colored, this matter is beyond your control!"
From the Starry Battleship where the Sect of the Supreme Void was located, a cold snort suddenly rang out.
As that voice sounded, an astonishing radiance turned into a Changhong, abruptly shooting out from the Starry Battleship, rushing straight toward those ripples.
It was precisely Great Emperor Yushuang!
"If even Xiang’er can’t intervene, then what exactly do you count as?"
A cold voice, without the slightest fluctuation, suddenly came from within the Void.
There was no visible astonishing scene, but that Changhong launched by Great Emperor Yushuang, at this moment, with a boom, directly vanished into nothingness!
"Nujing, you want to meddle in this as well?!"
Great Emperor Yushuang’s furious voice came: "This youngster has nothing to do with you. For his sake, you’d make an enemy of my Sect of the Supreme Void?!"
"Sect of the Supreme Void? Heh heh..."
A mocking voice descended from the Void.
As that voice fell, a fissure was torn open.
A voluptuous middle-aged woman stepped out from the crack, her entire body shrouded in black mist, exuding an incomparably terrifying aura of Destruction.
She was the Destruction Empress!!!
"So what if it’s the Sect of the Supreme Void?"
Fixing her gaze on the Starry Battleship where Great Emperor Yushuang was, the Destruction Empress said blandly, "If I forbid you from touching him, then your Sect of the Supreme Void will not touch him."
These words were incomparably domineering.
Great Emperor Yushuang’s figure shot straight out from the ship’s hold.
Everything was happening too fast.
And just as he rushed out from the ship’s hold, those invisible ripples swept directly across the bodies of the two Dao Sovereign Realm experts who had attacked Su Han!
"Boom! Boom!"
Explosions rang out; two figures detonated simultaneously, and the Primordial Spirits within them completely dissipated!
As for Han Junjie...
He had long since sheathed his Long Knife, his face pale as he charged toward the Starry Battleship where the Sect of the Supreme Void was located.
"Whoosh!"
A giant hand stretched out from the Void, and like grabbing an ant, seized Han Junjie in one grasp!
"Lord Holy Emperor, I..." Han Junjie wanted to speak.
Xiang’er’s figure gradually emerged.
She looked at Han Junjie for a while, then suddenly released the hand that was holding him.
Han Junjie froze there, for a moment not knowing what to do—he could neither leave nor stay.
"Scram."
Xiang’er waved her hand casually and said, "Someone my elder brother wants to personally kill—I won’t lift a hand for him."
Hearing this, Han Junjie felt as if pardoned, and in his haste he fled far away, stumbling and tumbling as he went.
"Seven-Colored, you’re truly bold!!!"
Only now did Great Emperor Yushuang completely steady himself in the Void.
His expression stormy with rage, he stared at Xiang’er and said coldly, "You even dare to kill Dao Sovereign Realm experts of my Sect of the Supreme Void?"
"So what if they’re Dao Sovereign Realm?"
Xiang’er smiled with disdain. "Don’t say Dao Sovereign Realm—if I break through one more Realm, believe it or not, I’ll dare to kill even you?"
"Then come and try!"
Great Emperor Yushuang’s body shook, and a terrifying aura erupted at that moment.
The two stood facing each other, yet neither made the first move.
At this moment, the situation was clearly unfavorable to the Phoenix Sect; Xiang’er naturally would not fight Great Emperor Yushuang.
Even if they did fight, the two would be evenly matched; for a time, no victor would emerge—it would be nothing but a waste of time.
As for Great Emperor Yushuang, he all the more would not be the first to strike at Xiang’er; his earlier words had been nothing more than an attempt at intimidation.
Xiang’er’s strength was something Great Emperor Yushuang knew full well; the one he truly feared was the Destruction Empress!
He knew very clearly that before he was even born, the Destruction Empress had already made her name in the Lower-Class Star Region for who knew how many years.
Though he did not know why, even to this day, the Destruction Empress had never broken through to the Immortal Realm and entered the Middle-Class Star Region, Great Emperor Yushuang understood that her true strength was definitely far from as simple as what appeared on the surface!
The atmosphere under this standoff grew increasingly rigid, increasingly oppressive.
Until, at a certain moment, Su Han suddenly spoke, shattering this mood.
"You’re still the same."
A single sentence, five simple words, yet it contained a complex feeling that could not be put into words.
Within the black mist, the Destruction Empress’s body trembled, though no one could see it.
She slowly turned, her movements very slow, as if she wanted to look, yet did not dare to.
Only when a certain moment arrived did she finally meet Su Han’s gaze.
Through the black mist, she saw that delicate face, that frail-looking body, and she also saw... that gaze which, no matter how many times he reincarnated, could never be worn away by the passage of years.
She knew...
It was him.
The man who once covered the sky with one hand, who summoned wind and rain at will, whose anger shattered the Starry Sky, yet whose stillness brought peace to the world!
The Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor!!!
"You’ve changed..."
The Destruction Empress drew in a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly. "But I still recognize you."
"Why don’t you go?" Su Han asked with a smile.
"I don’t want to." The Destruction Empress shook her head.
Su Han fell silent and did not speak again.
He understood why the Destruction Empress did not wish to go.
And the Destruction Empress also understood where exactly it was that Su Han meant by ’go.’
However, though they understood, the surrounding factions did not!
Listening to the exchange between Su Han and the Destruction Empress, these people from the various powers were utterly confused.
Vaguely, they felt as if Su Han and the Destruction Empress... might know each other!
But in the very next instant, this thought was immediately strangled in their hearts.
How could this Su Baliu possibly know the Destruction Empress?
The Destruction Empress had, in the Lower-Class Star Region, at the very least been famous for over ten million years.
Yet Su Han, according to their investigations, had lived for only a little over a thousand years in total!
From the Dragon Martial Continent to the Lower-Class Star Region, everything about him was crystal clear to these factions.
Su Han absolutely could not know the Destruction Empress—absolutely impossible!!!
Perhaps they were overthinking it; perhaps it was only because of the Seven-Colored Saint of Law that today’s conversation between Su Han and the Destruction Empress had taken place.
In any case, the two of them could not possibly have known each other!
"Nujing."
Just then, the Dark Sorcerer Supreme of the Qing Emperor Sect and the Wind Bell Battle Sovereign of the Divine Dao Religion both walked out from their ship’s holds.
The Dark Sorcerer Supreme swept a glance over the Destruction Empress and said, "In this Heaven and Earth Cataclysm, the Contribution Dao Sovereign Realm experts can make for humanity is unimaginable, yet today... you’ve killed two."
"So what?"
The Destruction Empress said calmly, "Don’t say just two—if I were to slaughter every Dao Sovereign of the Sect of the Supreme Void, what exactly could you do to me?"
"You..." Great Emperor Yushuang was furious beyond measure and was about to speak.
But the Wind Bell Battle Sovereign spoke first: "To kill two Dao Sovereign Realm experts—you do indeed have that qualification. But what comes next concerns the safety of the entire Lower-Class Star Region. You’d best not interfere any further."
