Chapter 982 - 980: Great Fortune, Purple Gold Ancient City, Slaying Celestial King Level Prodigies
The evil eye beam, its power immense.
Princess Long Ji and the three women quickly evaded, revealing their forms.
"It’s you..."
The one with purple hair, exuding a venerable aura, the Celestial Silkworm, seeing Princess Long Ji and others, showed a slightly relaxed expression.
If reinforcements from the Exotic Realm arrived, that would indeed be troublesome.
After all, his current enemies were already quite formidable.
Don’t be fooled; although the Top Ten Celestial Kings’ prides seem like mere clay chickens and dogs before Jun Xiaoyao.
That’s just relative.
To the Immortal Realm’s celestial prides, they are definitely formidable opponents.
Especially Li Jiuming, though his cultivation is only Quasi-Supreme.
There’s a gap with the Celestial Silkworm’s venerable cultivation.
But Li Jiuming himself possesses the evil eye of ancestral return from the Mingzhao Emperor Race, coupled with the Quasi-Emperor Weapon, the Eye of Despair’s support.
For a moment, the Celestial Silkworm was evenly matched with Li Jiuming.
Not to mention, Exotic Realm creatures at the same tier are naturally several times stronger than Immortal Realm creatures.
That’s why Li Jiuming could, at Quasi-Supreme Realm, harness the Eye of Despair to contend against the Divine Silkworm Valley’s Seed-level celestial pride, the Celestial Silkworm.
As for Puya Demon, Jin Zhan, Gu Chi, and the two-headed Divine Race celestial prides, they were engaged in battle with Ji Qingyi, Day Saint Guardian, and Moon Saint Guardian.
The Prince of the Other Shore, leader of the Top Ten Celestial Kings, was not present.
Seeing Princess Long Ji, Yu Chajuan, and Yan Rumeng appear.
Day Saint Guardian and Moon Saint Guardian exchanged glances, the light in their eyes beneath the masks flickered slightly.
They had a certain thought in mind.
As for Ji Qingyi, her features beneath the veil remained extremely calm.
No one could guess what she thought, truly agile and enigmatic.
"Ladies, with great enemies upon us, let’s deal with these Exotic Realm creatures first." Ji Qingyi spoke.
Regarding Ji Qingyi, Princess Long Ji and the three women didn’t harbor any ill feelings.
Only Yu Chajuan seemed displeased with Day Saint Guardian and Moon Saint Guardian.
However, given the pressing adversaries, it was indeed time to temporarily set aside past grievances.
Princess Long Ji and the three women joined the fray.
"Not even a Quasi-Supreme, just offering themselves as fodder."
"Yet even the Seed-level figures of the Immortal Realm are merely so."
Li Jiuming’s eyes showed a mocking expression as he looked at the Celestial Silkworm.
Recovering the confidence lost before Jun Xiaoyao at the expense of the Celestial Silkworm.
"I was merely warming up."
The Celestial Silkworm’s gaze turned cold.
He was, after all, a Seed-level figure from the Divine Silkworm Valley, once one of the Nine-Change Divine Silkworms.
Just shy of possessing the invincible bearing of the Ten-Change.
The Celestial Silkworm was always searching for the technique that could grant him the Ten-Change.
Recently, he sensed that the Celestial Burial Forest held great opportunity, hence he journeyed.
Then he encountered Ji Qingyi and others.
Later on, he also met Li Jiuming and others who entered the Celestial Burial Forest to hunt Immortal Realm cultivators.
The confrontation erupted once again.
Various mana fluctuations swept across, toppling vast ancient woodland.
They were already deep within the Celestial Burial Forest.
The ground was ruptured with numerous fissures.
At this moment, from the depths of the Celestial Burial Forest, amidst the cracks, a corner of an ancient city suddenly appeared.
Spiritual Qi hovered, immortal radiance surged skyward.
An enormous ancient city revealed itself deep under the Celestial Burial Forest.
Both celestial prides from the Immortal Realm and Exotic Realm instinctively halted, casting their gaze.
Yet this sight left them breathless.
The ancient city was coated with a layer of purple-gold, also adorned with natural dao divine traces.
This was casting material for an Emperor’s Weapon, Divine Trace Purple Gold!
Though the entire ancient city wasn’t crafted entirely of Divine Trace Purple Gold.
But even to coat it with a layer required such materials that could forge a complete Emperor’s Weapon!
"What kind of grandeur is this?"
The celestial prides from both realms were in awe.
The ancient city had an astonishingly flowing aura.
Its surface bore reliefs, depicting mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, primordial ancient beasts, gods and demons...
Various runes appeared, Law Divine Chains entangled.
It looked extremely ancient, absolutely belonging to neither this epoch.
Below the ancient city, there was an ancient array map of considerable range, seemingly extending from the underground, covering the entire Celestial Burial Forest.
This grandeur was astonishing once again.
"It’s that..."
Both the Celestial Silkworm and Yan Rumeng’s hearts simultaneously stirred.
Their prior sensation in the void was due to that ancient city.
And regarding why only they sensed it, it might be related to what lies in the depths of that ancient city.
"What is that?"
Li Jiuming and the other Celestial King-level prides were equally puzzled.
However, they vaguely felt a deep fear and danger emanating from the ancient city.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
From deep within the ancient city, a fierce tremor suddenly occurred.
As if thousands of troops marched in unison, the air was filled with the aura of armored battalions.
Four bronze immortal soldiers suddenly emerged from the ancient city.
These bronze immortal soldiers, entirely green-gold, wielding celestial halberds and other weapons, had Supreme Runes circulating on their surfaces.
"Exotic Realm creatures, kill!"
A heavy, deep voice echoed from the mouths of the bronze immortal soldiers.
They strode forward, charging at Li Jiuming and others.
"Damn it, this is a legacy left by an Immortal Realm figure, retreat!"
Seeing this, Li Jiuming’s eyelids twitched.
The Border Desolation spans vast; throughout history, countless strong figures from both realms have fallen here.
The Great Sacrifice Blood Land is rumored to have formed from the fall of a top-tier Exotic Realm king.
Thus, finding a legacy from the Immortal Realm’s predecessors here is hardly surprising.
Witnessing the retreat of Li Jiuming and others.
The Celestial Silkworm laughed heartily.
"Heaven is helping me!"
He turned his fervent gaze towards the Purple Gold Ancient City.
They sensed it held an opportunity for his transformation.
Perhaps he could use this opportunity to transform into the invincible Ten-Change Divine Silkworm!
His form turned into a stream of light, heading towards the Purple Gold Ancient City.
Ji Qingyi’s eyes flickered and she entered as well.
And also the Day Saint Guardian and Moon Saint Guardian did the same.
"Let’s go too!" Yan Rumeng bit her plump red lips.
She too felt there was great opportunity within.
They all entered the Purple Gold Ancient City.
On the other side, chased by the four bronze immortal soldiers, Li Jiuming and others were somewhat frantic.
These bronze immortal soldiers were impenetrable, with Supreme Runes flowing on their surfaces.
Li Jiuming and others were unable to withstand them.
Soon, one Celestial King-level pride fell.
Meanwhile, a figure wearing a ghost face mask, clad in white, surrounded by Chaos Qi.
Like a Divine King traversing across realms, crossing the void with his hands behind.
All surrounding dense forests, fierce beasts, remnant arrays, were scattered by the Chaos Qi around him.
This figure was, naturally, Jun Xiaoyao who had entered the Celestial Burial Forest.
Ahead, suddenly there was movement.
Jun Xiaoyao glanced, spotting the panicked fleeing of Li Jiuming and others.
"It’s you!"
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao, Li Jiuming, Puya Demon, Jin Zhan and others, their expressions turned unnatural.
Being seen by Jun Xiaoyao in such a distressing state.
However, at present, facing a crisis, prior displeasures with Jun Xiaoyao had to be temporarily dismissed.
They were aware that while Jun Xiaoyao was Quasi-Supreme, even among Supreme Venerables, he was certainly strong.
The Emperor Mojie was pinned to death by one strike from Jun Xiaoyao.
"Yu Xiaoyao, we’ve discovered an Immortal Realm opportunity, but we’re being chased by the puppets within. Help us first eliminate these puppets, then we can compete for that opportunity!"
Li Jiuming spoke, reluctantly but necessarily.
Jun Xiaoyao’s gaze shifted with interest, sweeping over Li Jiuming and others.
For some reason, sensing this gaze, Li Jiuming’s heart sank.
Then Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand; a radiant sword light soared skyward.
A three-foot sword embryo emerged, driven by the power of chaos, executing the Heaven-Slaying Technique, slashing towards Li Jiuming and others!
"Yu Xiaoyao, dare you!"
Seeing this, Li Jiuming’s eyes widened with rage, shouting.
