"Yuanchao! You’re a damn jinx!"
A voice cursing ca from beside him, Yuan Zhongqi had returned.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave, but rather he was forcefully stopped by an invisible barrier.
Yuanchao was dumbfounded.
He could scarcely believe that soone actually found this place.
Bear in mind.
In the past cycle of ti, not any Emperor Realm figures nor the Ancient Holy Lands or Tao Lineages had noticed anything peculiar about this star.
This place was concealed by the Great Annihilation Array personally set by Great Emperor Tiangui, capable of evading even the Divine Sense of the Emperor Realm, unless a Great Emperor ca in person.
Wait.
If the Emperor Realm ca in person...
Yuanchao’s lips quivered as he was about to say sothing, Yuan Zhongqi’s face changed dramatically: "Shut your damn jinx mouth!"
"..."
Yuanchao obediently closed his mouth, not daring to say anything else, as the matter concerned his life.
"Tap"
"Tap"
"Tap"
Footsteps echoed in the void.
With the sound, an elder with a slightly stooped back slowly appeared at the peak of the mountain.
The elder looked at the house built of white bones, and his gaze peacefully shifted to the two people inside:
"Quasi-Emperor Second Heaven, Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven, tsk."
"May I ask the senior’s na?"
A soft click relaxed Yuan Zhongqi’s tense heartstrings, this elder wasn’t Great Emperor Qingfeng.
As long as it’s not an Emperor Realm, then there’s still a chance.
"I’m old, my na has long been forgotten."
The elder shook his head: "Besides, what difference does it make knowing my na? You’ll be dead soon."
"He’s that old Taotie from the Taotie Clan!"
Yuanchao suddenly rembered sothing, his pupils shrank.
Yuan Zhongqi’s heart tightened once more.
Six months ago.
Information about the Taotie Clan ntioned there were two Quasi-Emperors.
One was the Taotie Divine General of the Heavenly Court, Quasi-Emperor Fifth Heaven.
The other was the old clan leader of the Taotie Clan, with a realm neither high nor low, Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven.
Back then.
The Northern Immortal Domain mysteriously disappeared, Great Emperor Qingfeng entered the Annihilation Space in pursuit of a mysterious Giant Whale, leading to the sudden appearance of the old Taotie who had been declared deceased.
Also because of this.
The Immortal Domain hadn’t truly fallen into chaos.
Although it wasn’t Great Emperor Qingfeng who ca, this old Taotie with little lifespan left is indeed Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven!
The two of them...
Probably aren’t a match at all.
It’s not self-deprecation, but apart from the two-heavens realm gap, it’s because the old Taotie was once among those closest to the Emperor Realm.
If it weren’t for being sched against and having his Tao foundation injured, the main figure of this Star Domain would likely have been the Taotie Clan.
"Senior, my family’s ancestor has a Divine Sense shrouded here, why don’t we each take a step back today."
Yuan Zhongqi feigned calmness and spoke.
"Heh heh."
The old Taotie chuckled, revealing white teeth:
"Tiangui Tribe’s kid, if your ancestor truly has a Divine Sense covering this place, let him co out, Emperor Realm... I’ve never killed one."
"How dare you!"
Yuanchao shouted out: "My ancestor can crush you with a single finger."
"Yes, an Emperor Realm can crush , a Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven, with a single finger."
The Taotie’s smile gradually turned icy: "In other words, with a single finger, I can crush you."
Nine.
The ultimate number.
Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven, each Heaven a world.
Therefore...
Yuan Zhongqi had no thought of fighting to the death, but had already thrown the Quasi-Emperor Artifact, which he had secretly activated, towards the old Taotie.
"Boom!"
The Quasi-Emperor Artifact accompanied Yuan Zhongqi for a full ten thousand years, enhanced with so Divine tal, directly exploded in the air, enveloping this star in a whirlwind of Spiritual Energy.
At the mont of the explosion.
Yuan Zhongqi stomped his foot sharply.
The towering mountain peak collapsed with a roar, including the white bone house behind, and a spatial rift appeared under Yuan Zhongqi’s feet.
This Teleportation Array was arranged by ancestors of the Tian Gui Clan who ca to collect incense, though it couldn’t directly return to the tribe, it was enough to let them escape from here.
"Go!"
Yuan Zhongqi grabbed the sleeve of the Second Heaven’s granduncle, and their figures plunged straight into the Teleportation Array.
The spatial rift closed in an instant.
Then an earth-shattering explosion was heard outside the rift.
Yuan Zhongqi staggered and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The shattering of the Lifebound Magic Treasure made Yuan Zhongqi’s face pale but he didn’t show any sign of heartache.
Though he was reluctant about the Lifebound Magic Treasure, Yuan Zhongqi still knew the difference between light and heavy in a matter of life and death.
Yuanchao secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Though this array wasn’t set by the ancestor, it could still hold back the old Taotie."
Oh no!!!
Yuan Zhongqi suddenly felt his throat surge with blood, he regretted.
Regretting not sealing the granduncle’s mouth!
Sure enough.
Turning his head, Yuan Zhongqi saw the just-closed spatial rift forcibly being widened by a pair of giant hands.
At first, it was a slit.
Then it gradually widened, and in a breath’s ti, it was enough to allow a creature to enter.
The old Taotie stepped into it.
Yuan Zhongqi felt a little desperate, as the opponent’s clothes showed no signs of damage or dirt.
This indicated that the self-destructing Quasi-Emperor Artifact hadn’t caused even a bit of injury to the old Taotie.
"Did you think that a single self-destructing Quasi-Emperor Artifact and a re Teleportation Array could stop ?"
"Should I call you naive or ignorant."
As the old Taotie spoke without expression, his hunched body slowly stood straight, rapidly expanding into a hundred-zhang giant beast, spreading imnse murderous aura.
"Run quickly!"
Yuanchao pulled Yuan Zhongqi and prepared to run further, but the latter’s steps remained unmoved.
Instead, he looked at the colorfully painted walls of the teleportation channel, where various sceneries quickly passed by.
"Can’t escape anymore."
Yuan Zhongqi softly said: "Yuanchao, you go, I’ll hold them off for ten breaths. You know the position and activation thod of the Teleportation Array, right?"
"You go, I’ll stay!"
Yuanchao was in rage.
He was Yuan Zhongqi’s granduncle, if anyone was to die, it was supposed to be him, there’s no reason for the younger generation to die before him.
"Don’t argue, your realm can’t even hold for a single breath. Send the ssage back to the Tian Gui Tribe, make sure to wipe out the Taotie Clan, avenge ."
Yuan Zhongqi began to burn his lifespan and everything, his aura rapidly increased, in the blink of an eye reaching Great Perfection of the Seventh Heaven.
His realm faintly advanced toward Quasi-Emperor Eight Heaven!
But even though Yuan Zhongqi chose to go all out, he still couldn’t cross the threshold.
"Granduncle, go."
Yuan Zhongqi’s body didn’t enlarge, but dazzling black light radiated from around him, and he suddenly charged towards the gigantic Taotie beast.
"Zhongqi!"
Yuanchao’s voice quivered, his eyes turned blood red.
It was the first ti he heard Yuan Zhongqi call him granduncle, and... the last ti.
Without any wasted ti on sentintality, Yuanchao decisively turned and dashed toward the end of the teleportation array passage.
He couldn’t help but shout loudly: "Hang in there, I’ll find reinforcents!"
Upon reaching the end of the passage, Yuanchao jumped out and activated the second array, continuing to flee endlessly.
Ten breaths don’t last long.
But, they’re not short either.
