A faint sigh echoed in the void. A gigantic hand, tearing a corner of the world, pointed and flicked, resembling a mountain hanging upside down, pressing down. The Flying Fish Guards next to Founding Emperor Yan were instantly crushed into meat paste, turning into ashes. Founding Emperor Yan himself felt his consciousness blur for a moment. When he came to his senses, he was already in mid-air, with the ground and city quickly moving away from him. In his hazy awareness, he heard two distant voices talking. "Immortal Lord Qingxuan, why did you show mercy and spare his life? This person is one of the rare powerful beings in this world and carries the fortune of a dynasty; he must be an emperor among mortals." "Such a being is worth more than hundreds of thousands; how could you let him go?" "Though he is a mortal, he dares to charge forward without understanding his own limits; he must be a remarkable hero of this world. Such people will never be many, I simply did not want to see him die." Even the sect leader of the Nine Immortal Gates has to be cautious, and for many years they have avoided direct conflict with Founding Emperor Yan, who wields the Human Emperor Sword. But if we look at the many worlds out there, a national treasure that suppresses the luck of a dynasty is not something very rare. It may catch the eye of even a True Immortal, but it is just for a moment. "Ha, you act so recklessly! You have already sacrificed millions of lives, yet you let one person go. Aren’t you afraid of angering the Undead Immortal Lord?" "The Undead Immortal Lord is not my opponent." "Soon he will be. That kind of person who goes against fate, with a training speed beyond understanding, will probably soon be called Immortal Lord or Heavenly Emperor…" The voice was soft and distant, as if it came from the heavens. The Founding Emperor Yan was hazy but felt his blood boiling, rushing to the top of his head, filled with unspeakable anger. The great Founding Emperor of Great Yan, one of the strongest martial artists in the world, has actually escaped because of the other person’s moment of compassion? His consciousness gradually faded, and all feelings of anger and resentment slowly disappeared. ………………………………………………….. When Founding Emperor Yan awoke once more, he was already outside the capital of Zhong Province. An unbearable pain surged through his limbs and body; his veins felt almost torn apart, and he was covered in wounds, nearly completely broken. "Am I in Zhong Province Imperial Capital?" After realizing this, Founding Emperor Yan fell into a long silence. At this moment, he was badly injured, too weak to fight, but not fatally so; he was still alive and well. And where he was located was right at the Zhong Province Imperial Capital. Even beside him, the Human Emperor Sword lay quietly, its blade shimmering with a faint, yellowish light. Founding Emperor Yan sat down on the ground, disregarding his appearance, and remained silent for a very long time. This was even more frightening than losing his life with just a snap of the fingers. The "Immortal Lord Qingxuan" not only showed mercy but also skillfully controlled his power, injuring him severely but leaving him alive, and he flew over a distance of more than a thousand miles to reach the Zhong Province Imperial Capital. Moreover, he had never seen the true form of that immortal being. It seems that the so-called Immortal Lord Qingxuan had not truly entered the vast world of Jiu Province; he had only seen one of Immortal Lord Qingxuan’s hands… "Is there a True Immortal who can catch the stars and grab the moon?" Founding Emperor Yan’s gaze darkened as he picked up the Human Emperor Sword beside him and slowly stood up. Before he fell unconscious, many True Immortals, including Immortal Lord Qingxuan, were rampaging across the land of Jiu Province, and he didn’t have time to wallow in self-pity. In the palace of the Imperial Capital, in the chamber of Founding Emperor Yan. Founding Emperor Yan forcefully used a dagger to cut open his chest, revealing the entire chest, and even showing his beating heart. Peach Blossom Villa publicly shared all kinds of magical skills, including Martial Saint and Wu Qizheng’s Flesh Changing Skill and Shape Changing Skill. Founding Emperor Yan was not extremely skilled in this area, but after fifty years, he had achieved quite a lot and had very precise control over his physical body. Then, he picked up a leaf of the fairy lotus nearby. The Nine-colored Fairy Lotus was a treasure of the former Western Province Yunxiao Sect, and by the time it reached Qiao Mu, only seven leaves remained. Over fifty years of storms and trials, Founding Emperor Yan researched the use of the Nine-colored Fairy Lotus, allowing the Earth Sword Immortal brothers to rebuild their physical bodies… This kind of rare and precious treasure had an amazing effect on a Medicine Spirit Body like Founding Emperor Yan’s, so later, Brother Lu Yanbei handed one of the remaining fairy lotus leaves back to Founding Emperor Yan. "This should be the last leaf." Founding Emperor Yan took a deep breath, raised the fairy lotus leaf in his hand, and gently pierced it into his heart that was beating inside his chest. A sharp pain shot through him, and his heart jolted violently; then he pulled out his hand, using the Shape Changing Skill to bring the cut flesh together. For Founding Emperor Yan, this fairy lotus leaf was like a life-saving medicine, but it might not be useful for others. After doing all this, Founding Emperor Yan put on his clothes and stood up again, just as he heard Emperor Wuping’s footsteps outside the door. Emperor Wuping was already at an age where his hair was slightly gray; at this moment, seeing the heavily injured Founding Emperor Yan, he remembered what Nian Chao Sheng, the owner of Tide Listening Building, had just said, hesitating to speak. The two looked at each other in silence, not saying a word for a long time. "You came at the right time," Founding Emperor Yan said. He stood up, opened a hidden compartment beside the bookshelf, and took out a yellowish ring from inside. "This Hengsha Ring is the item I obtained fifty years ago when I entered Tongtian Mountain and defeated the leader of the Tongtian Sword Sect." "In the past, among the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates, everyone had their own way of dealing with the small worlds, and this Hengsha Ring holds a Cave Heaven Small World of the Tongtian Sword Sect." Emperor Wuping was shocked; he did not expect Founding Emperor Yan to secretly possess such an item. But he heard Founding Emperor Yan continue, "Do you still remember the Wuji Association’s Sun Xuan Envoy Zhang Yinguo from back then?" "He has an old connection with Li Gongde from Peach Blossom Villa, and the Hengsha Ring is not difficult to unlock. It is said that anyone with Golden Core Stage ability can do it, and you can seek his help…" "And this time, many True Immortals from outside have descended…" Founding Emperor Yan’s expression darkened. He held the Human Emperor Sword, originally wanting to test the True Immortal, but the outcome was quite different. "The land of many states has already fallen; this is a disaster more terrifying than the former Nine Immortal Gates. The Immortal Gates still needed the belief of followers, but these True Immortals… they did not leave a single survivor." "Child, hide," Founding Emperor Yan said, holding the Hengsha Ring. "With the royal family and their descendants, hiding in this small world, there may be a day when they see the light of day again." The Founding Emperor Yan spoke deeply. He did not know about the Great Collapse; he only believed that the arrival of the True Immortal was the greatest disaster that Jiu Province could not withstand. That is why he planned to let Emperor Wuping and the royal descendants hide in the small world, only hoping to survive this disaster. "Ancestor…" Emperor Wuping wanted to speak but hesitated. Although Emperor Wuping did not know about the Great Collapse, after listening to Nian Chao Sheng’s advice, he had other thoughts. ……………………………………………………….. In Southeast Province, on the battlefield of the Soul Predicting Path. Qiao Mu seemed to be trapped in an invisible ice, with no support or refuge. He still maintained the posture of rushing forward in the air quickly, with his snow-white hair dancing backward in the wind, but he was frozen in that moment. Behind him, a halberd thrown from the back was also suspended in the air, swirling True Strength flew backward like a ribbon, but it also froze in the air. "Living for only sixty-nine thousand years is still too short," the Immortal Yanshen said coldly as he looked at Qiao Mu, who was trapped by the Immobilization Skill. "I have ascended for one hundred thousand years, so by seniority, I must be considered your ancestor." "As for you mortals, you are like mayflies that live for a day and die by night…" The blood sacrificial array that spread out for miles was disturbed by Qiao Mu’s sound technique before, which prevented him from easily activating the blood sacrificial array to reap the lives of mortals as he had before. "Hmm?" The Soul Predicting Path person’s thoughts shifted suddenly to Wei En, the leader of the Flying Fish Guard, at the back of the battlefield. This person’s strength may not catch his eye, but he has been using some strange method to sense something from a distant place outside the array. "It seems like a means of communication," the Soul Predicting Path person said with a slight chill in his gaze. The great world of Jiu Province is about to be caught in the Great Collapse, so other True Immortals should also enter. He set a trap, using the Soul Predicting Path Immortal Gate as bait, gathering almost all the top powerful beings from the entire great world of Jiu Province. However, he did not want other True Immortals to know about this and share in the pie. "There are so many little tricks," said the Soul Predicting Path person, pointing with his hand like a knife and waving it forward. In an instant, the void seemed to split in two with this hand gesture. The originally rolling mountains appeared to stretch infinitely apart, creating an invisible chasm between them. Wei En, who was using the Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique to convey military news to other regions, felt a shock; he seemed to lose the invisible connection with the spiritual refining Flying Fish Guard in an instant. Within a hundred miles, there were still other Flying Fish Guards he could contact. But beyond a hundred miles, it was as if they had vanished into thin air. Within a hundred miles, Fang Yuan seemed to be in two separate worlds from the outside. With the naked eye, the distant mountains could still be seen, but the sense of spiritual refinement could no longer reach them. "True Immortals possess the ability to create small worlds…" Immortal Diyuan shook her head. "He has torn Fang Yuan’s domain from the great world of Jiu Province, turning it into an isolated battlefield."
