His eyes emitted strands of divine light as he gazed across the vast space toward the Qian Region. "That place isn't forbidden ground. How could there still be a Longevity Realm expert there?" Elder Bei Weng was utterly shocked. Could it be a powerhouse from the Supreme Divine Realm descending? "No, the Supreme Divine Realm is currently too busy with its own affairs to pay attention to the Mortal Realm." His brows furrowed tightly, two slender white eyebrows dangling before his chest. Though his expression appeared kindly, his eyes now radiated waves of killing intent. "An expert from forbidden lands? If you'd stayed hidden, we might have been helpless. But now that you've come out seeking death, don't blame others!" Their purpose in coming from the Sacred Realm was to destroy the nine forbidden lands of the Mortal Realm, completely opening the passage between the Mortal and Demon Worlds to allow those peerless demons to enter. Elder Bei Weng's other hand, which had been resting behind his back, suddenly shattered the void before him, traversing endless distance to appear above Qingyang City. For an expert of the Longevity Realm like him, a single thought could cover the entire Mortal Realm! His hands now shone with pure white light, seemingly capable of purifying all existence. But gone was his earlier ease - veins bulged like coiling dragons on both his massive hands, showing Elder Bei Weng was now going all out! Within the Dragon Emperor Palace, Long Yuan smiled faintly, still countering with just one hand. The dragon claw cycled through five elemental forces, transforming into five-colored divine light that blocked all attacks. The power was absolutely peerless! All major forces observing Qingyang City were terrified beyond measure. To their eyes, they couldn't discern the movements of the attacks - only three dazzling lights continuously clashing in the sky. If this was merely sensory intuition, then the five Martial Emperors who had already turned to dust within those divine lights made all powers feel genuine dread. Just the residual waves from their exchange had annihilated five peak Martial Emperor experts. "What level of experts are they?" Many now realized the two combatants' strength had definitely surpassed the Emperor-tier. In the Cang Region, Chu Dingtian and other Chu family leaders watched the scenes reflected in their mirror, expressions horrified beyond words. Several clan elders involuntarily gulped, their bodies trembling. "Too powerful! Peak Martial Emperors are as fragile as paper before them - just the divine light from their clash can vaporize them!" They'd clearly seen how a single beam of divine light had reduced five Martial Emperors to particles. If the initial scene of the dragon claw suppressing five Martial Emperors had shocked them, the sight of five emperors perishing made everyone's souls nearly flee their bodies! Their opponent definitely possessed power to casually annihilate Martial Emperors. "With such an expert protecting them, it won't be long before that branch surpasses our Cang Region main family," sighed a Martial Saint elder. Though they disliked it, this seemed inevitable. "Silence!" The most senior elder coldly shouted. "That Chu family has no relation to us!" If this news leaked even slightly, they'd face Hell's Gate's overwhelming wrath. After all, nearly ten Martial Emperors had already fallen in Qingyang City - Hell's Gate must be furious! If they learned of even distant blood ties between them and that Chu family now, complete annihilation would follow. Content originally comes from NoveI[F]ire.net The other elders nodded gravely - this concerned the family's survival. No carelessness could be tolerated! In Qingyang City, many who witnessed the Martial Emperors dissolving into light felt their scalps tingle. "It must be the Chu family's Beast God protecting us, or we'd have shared those emperors' fate!" someone exclaimed in awe, gazing at the radiant dragon claw. "We owe this to the Chu family's blessings! Otherwise such experts wouldn't spare us a glance!" "But what realm is the Chu family's Beast God at? How can even Martial Emperors be no match?" Some marveled at the Chu family's incredible fortune to gain such a guardian, while others wondered - was the Beast God truly a Demon Emperor? He seemed nothing like one. Just then, outside Qingyang City, where the two hands had been, an awe-inspiring figure appeared - the Longevity Realm expert Bei Weng himself! With cold, strange eyes, he gazed at the thunderclouds above the city. "Let me see what you really are!" Instantly breaking free from Long Yuan's claw, he appeared beside the thunderclouds to investigate. How could a mere claw match him? But as he entered the clouds, a deep dragon roar exploded in his ears like an entire universe crashing down, smashing into Bei Weng. BOOM! With a thunderous impact, Bei Weng was blasted from the clouds like a cannonball, crashing into the flattened earth outside Qingyang City, blood spraying from his mouth! "Impossible! How can you be this strong?" Ignoring his injuries, Bei Weng immediately rose, staring incredulously at the thunderclouds. He'd seen nothing before being struck by that terrifying force. Though not fatal, the blow had severely wounded him. Long Yuan looked disdainfully at Bei Weng. A mere Longevity Realm expert wanted to see his true form? Ridiculous arrogance! "I refuse to believe the Mortal Realm harbors such power outside forbidden lands!" Bei Weng roared. Energy surged within him, instantly healing his wounds. Then his two chest-length white eyebrows shone with pure light, dancing like chains. The normally foot-long eyebrows now shot toward the thunderclouds like spears. "Humph! I've refined two Longevity-grade divine swords into these eyebrows - my ultimate attack. Let's see you block this!" Bei Weng snorted coldly. Sword energy erupted from the eyebrows, effortlessly splitting heaven and earth as they transformed into peerless blades capable of severing all creation! A contemptuous laugh echoed from the thunderclouds. Then a black pagoda descended like a divine mountain, crushing toward Bei Weng's head - Long Yuan's lifebound artifact, the Myriad Dragons Pagoda! As a lifebound artifact, its rank grew with its master's power. Now a true dominator-grade divine artifact, its might was unfathomable! As the pagoda appeared, dragon roars resounded. An overwhelming sense of mortal danger surged through Bei Weng's heart.
