#2110 - Battle against the Dark Emperor

As soon as the youth spoke, Xian'er whacked him with a brick again, causing him to scream miserably, a heart-wrenching sound.

The youth's entire head was severely deformed, almost unrecognizable, his skull caved in significantly.

However, his nascent soul didn't collapse, so he couldn't die, causing him immense pain.

"Now you can tell me, what world do you come from?"

Xian'er blew on the blood-dripping metal brick in her hand and asked with a sweet smile.

The youth's face was covered in blood. He struggled to open his eyes, blurred by the blood, and vaguely saw the smile on her face. He felt a chill all over, finding it so grim and terrifying, like a devil from hell smiling.

"I... I come from the Tian罡 Great World..."

The youth immediately told his origins honestly.

He didn't want to endure any more torment.

He knew that this father and daughter were too terrifying.

If they were angered, he didn't know what kind of torment, worse than death, he would have to endure.

Since he couldn't save his life anyway, there was no need to suffer those torments before dying.

According to what he said, he came from a large force in the Tian罡 Great World and was a core disciple of the sect.

He was sent to the Divine Ancient World by order of the sect's higher-ups to buy off the major forces of the Divine Ancient World and control some of its power for their own use.

As for why their sect's higher-ups wanted to control the major forces of the Divine Ancient World,

he said he didn't know the specifics. He only heard the sect's higher-ups mention that it was the will of some high and mighty existence, ordering them to deal with someone in the Divine Ancient World.

However, so far, he didn't know who they were supposed to deal with. Even his sect's higher-ups didn't know, as they hadn't received a new decree from that existence.

"I've said everything I know, please don't torment me, just give me a quick death!"

He looked at Jun Wu Xie and Xian'er with a face full of pleading, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

At this time, he was completely different from his earlier self, when he had pointed out the landscape, held the power of life and death, and clamored to kill Jun Wu Xie in front of Xian'er and Qi An, creating a strong contrast.

Jun Wu Xie pierced his nascent soul with a finger, instantly killing the youth from the Tian罡 Great World.

He casually took the body into his body.

"Xian'er, how did the talisman I left in your body break? Did you encounter a strong person from the Xuan You World?"

"Daughter doesn't know if he was a strong person from the Xuan You World, but that person was dressed in black and had a terrifying aura, giving daughter a sense of trembling.

His eyes seemed to contain universe after universe. Looking into them, one's mind seemed to be lost in the vast depths of space..."

Xian'er mentioned the strong person she encountered that day, still feeling lingering fear and dread.

That feeling was too unforgettable!

"It seems it should be the Xuan Emperor's illusory body from the Xuan You World.

The two Great Emperor's illusory bodies from the Xuan You World should have all come to this layer of the world, as have the cultivators from other universes.

The items related to the Nine Cauldrons in the first nine layers have all been taken away, so they have no need to stay.

This place is very dangerous for you. You need to leave here and return to the previous layers of the world to seek your opportunities and fortunes there.

In these days, you have already gained many benefits.

In a short period of time, you have both stepped into the True God Realm.

Continue, and strive to break through to the Heavenly God Realm as soon as possible."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Xian'er's face was full of reluctance. She hugged Jun Wu Xie's arm and swayed it, saying pitifully, "Can't I not go? Xian'er wants to be with Daddy ~"

"No, you must leave this layer of the world to ensure your safety.

Following me will be very dangerous. Once we encounter the two Great Emperor's illusory bodies, it will be difficult for me to take care of you while fighting them."

"But..."

Xian'er wanted to say something, but stopped. Although she was unwilling, she still nodded.

"Father, I have a key here."

Qi An opened his palm, and an object shot out from his palm, transforming into a large cauldron engraved with mountain range patterns in the air.

Jun Wu Xie reached out, and the cauldron flew over, quickly shrinking and becoming a three-inch-tall small cauldron.

Looking at the three-legged, two-eared cauldron engraved with mountain range patterns in front of him,

Jun Wu Xie speculated that the real Mountain Cauldron should look like this.

However, the Xiao Cauldron in front of him was not the Mountain Cauldron.

It was not cast from substantial materials but formed by condensed order.

The moment the small cauldron fell into his palm, information was transmitted to his mind.

Mountain Cauldron Key.

This item was the prerequisite for obtaining the real Mountain Cauldron, a necessary thing.

"My sister and I have been hunted down because of the Nine Cauldron Keys."

Qi An said.

"Daddy, I have a key here too."

Xian'er took out an object, also in the shape of an ancient cauldron, with patterns of a rushing river engraved on it.

River Cauldron Key.

"Half of the Nine Cauldron Keys have been obtained by us.

It's just a pity that someone got ahead of us, causing the Nine Cauldron Keys in the later layers to fall into the hands of others.

After obtaining the Nine Cauldron Keys and coming to this last layer of the world, we split into several groups, each carrying a key.

Later, my aunties and I were separated during the pursuit, and my younger brother was also separated from Auntie Xue Lan and them, and we happened to meet in this area..."

"Father will find your mother and aunties as soon as possible.

Now, I will let the Primordial Avatar send you away."

Jun Wu Xie said, releasing the Primordial Avatar and simultaneously injecting a military path talisman into Xian'er's body.

"There are many opportunities in the Nine Cauldron Secret Realm, various high-quality resources suitable for your cultivation.

Don't waste time and opportunities, go and seek your own fortunes.

When you get to the previous world, Xian'er, you should separate from Qi An.

You both have prosperous luck and your own fortunes. Traveling together will disturb each other's luck."

"Father, we know, take care!"

Qi An said goodbye to his father reluctantly.

"Don't worry about Father, cultivate well in the secret realm."

Jun Wu Xie patted his son's shoulder.

"Daddy, be careful ~"

Xian'er was worried.

Because she had encountered the strong person from the Xuan You World.

When facing that strong person, his aura was like an abyss, unfathomable, like an immortal mountain, pressing down on her and making it difficult to breathe.

Two such strong people had come from the Xuan You World.

If Daddy encountered both of them at the same time, would he be in danger?

"Go, don't think about other things."

Jun Wu Xie watched the Primordial Avatar escort them away until their figures disappeared into the distance.

"Although this world is a small world within the Nine Cauldron Secret Realm, its territory is vast.

The rules of heaven and earth here are strong, and divine sense perception is limited.

After Xian'er and the others came to this world, they split into several groups, each carrying a Nine Cauldron Key.

If they paid attention to hiding their tracks, it shouldn't be so easy to be found.

But the fact was that not only did the Great Emperor's illusory body from the Xuan You World find them, but even the youth from the Tian罡 Great World and the Nightmare Clan's strong person from the Divine Ancient World found them."

Thinking of this, Jun Wu Xie looked inside his cave heaven.

There were three small cauldrons floating inside.

Three Nine Cauldron Keys.

Two of them came from Xian'er and Qi An.

The other one came from the youth from the Tian罡 Great World who was killed.

He injected his mental power into the Nine Cauldron Keys.

Almost instantly, the Nine Cauldron Keys gave him positive feedback.

Soon, a vast map appeared in his mind.

There were several bright routes on the map, pointing to different areas.

The areas pointed to by the lines were not fixed, some were moving and changing positions.

"Lan Lan, let's go!"

Jun Wu Xie chose one of the areas closest to him.

Lan Lan carried him through the air.

Before long, his heart suddenly jumped.

A military talisman had broken, and not just one, but several military talismans had broken at the same time.

He immediately observed the map and found that a certain area pointed to on the map had moved a long distance in an instant.

"Go here, quickly!"

Jun Wu Xie shared the map route with Lan Lan.

At the same time.

In a dilapidated mountain forest.

A middle-aged man in black, with an imposing and dignified appearance, floated in the air, looking coldly into the distant sky.

Beneath him, large swaths of mountain forest were destroyed, mountains collapsed, and the ground had many cracks, a scene of devastation.

"Another similar method of escape.

The last time, that woman with the Hongmeng Immortal Body bloodline escaped from this Emperor in this way. I didn't expect this group of women to be the same.

They all have the same killing talismans on their bodies, obviously belonging to the same force.

However, no matter how superb your escape methods are, as long as you are still within the Nine Cauldron Secret Realm, you cannot escape this Emperor's grasp."

The Xuan Emperor's illusory body's brow shone with brilliant soul light.

There was also a map in his mind.

The map showed the current location of the group of women.

This came from the Qian Cauldron Key he obtained.

He snatched this key from the hands of people from other forces.

He could lock onto the group of women's location at any time.

No matter where they ran, he could find them in a very short time.

Unless their escape methods could be used continuously.

But such escape techniques, with their realm, could not be used without restrictions.

Even the life-saving methods left in their bodies by others would eventually run out of energy.

"Hmm, I wonder how the You Emperor is doing now, whether he is successful."

He and the You Emperor separated to pursue the people who obtained the Nine Cauldron Keys.

He didn't know if the You Emperor had already obtained a new key.

...

At this time, Jun Wu Xie and the Xuan Emperor were heading towards the same place from different areas.

At their destination, Ji Yinlan, Yan Qingcheng, Su Lan, Nalan Jingyi, Feng Ling, and the Feng Guards were meditating and adjusting their breathing on an ancient tree atop a mountain peak.

Each of them had faces full of sweat, their energy and spirit severely depleted.

For these past few days, they had been constantly pursued.

Whether by powerhouses from other worlds or the illusory body of the Great Emperor from the Xuanyou Realm.

They basically had no time to recover their own consumption.

"They're coming, a powerful aura is rapidly approaching!"

An hour later, Ji Yinlan suddenly opened her eyes, looked into the distance, her expression solemn.

"Sister Yinlan, let's hurry and leave!"

Nalan Jingyi stood up reflexively, then sighed deeply and sat back down.

"Rather than run and waste our energy and spirit, it's better to passively trigger the mark, which will teleport us a distance away, giving us time to recover ourselves..."

Nalan Jingyi said this, her words full of helplessness.

The opponent was too strong, impossible to deal with.

Now, all the military path talismans on their bodies had already shattered, leaving only the mark left by Sister Yan Yu.

This mark couldn't help them fight the enemy, it could only be triggered when they were in desperate straits, their lives under great threat, teleporting them far away.

Fighting was impossible; hiding was impossible; even running was futile.

Because the opponent could know their real-time location through the Nine Cauldrons Key, even using the Lesser Void Technique was useless!

This feeling made them feel very stifled and oppressed.

"You do understand your situation, knowing that escape is futile, so you simply avoid running."

A cold voice echoed through the mountain forest.

It was the Xuandi who had been pursuing them.

He stood in the sky above the mountain forest, looking down at the mountain peak where Ji Yinlan and the others were, his gaze extremely cold and ruthless, as if devoid of human emotion.

"Hand over the Nine Cauldrons Key, and you can die with some dignity.

Do not try to challenge this Emperor's patience.

The Emperor's might cannot be offended; those who offend it will only die."

The cold voice fully displayed the posture of a superior controlling life and death.

"Worthy of being the illusory body of the Great Emperor, so high and mighty.

I am very interested and want to know what will happen when your patience runs out."

A calm voice suddenly echoed in this area.

The Xuandi's illusory body was slightly startled and suddenly turned his head to look.

Someone had actually come within a certain range without him noticing in time.

The speaker was now no more than a thousand meters away from him.

"Husband… It's husband!

Young Master is here!"

On the mountain peak, under the ancient tree, Ji Yinlan, Yan Qingcheng, Su Lan, Nalan Jingyi, Feng Ling, and the Feng Guards all trembled, looking in the direction of the voice with faces full of joy.

At this moment, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Nalan Jingyi, Feng Ling, and the Feng Guards.

Ji Yinlan's state of mind was somewhat different from theirs.

She was never worried about herself, but about the sisters who were following her.

Although Yan Yu's mark could save their lives.

But constantly fleeing like this, with energy and spirit continuously depleted, could cause some damage to their bodies over time and affect their cultivation.

In this special era, with the torrent of the apocalypse about to arrive.

Cultivation time seemed exceptionally precious.

"So it's you."

The Xuandi had already recognized who the person was.

"That's right, it's me."

Jun Wuxie came down from Lan Lan's body and patted it.

Lan Lan understood, instantly cutting through the sky, landing on the mountain peak in front of Ji Yinlan and the others.

"You really have some ability, able to kill so many people sent by this Emperor.

I must say, even this Emperor in his prime would never have had your abilities at this realm.

Young man, your future is limitless.

This Emperor is willing to give you a chance to become this Emperor's servant, and your future prospects will be immeasurable."

"You are not worthy."

Jun Wuxie didn't give the Xuandi any face.

"Hahaha!"

The Xuandi laughed on the spot when he heard this, "You really dare to speak wildly.

This Emperor knows that you have quite a background.

But you must be clear that you are no longer your past self.

Even if you had extremely high cultivation in your previous life, you are currently just a small cultivator with a low realm.

In a special era, without a backer, you have no way to survive.

This Emperor thinks highly of you, you should feel thrice blessed.

In the Xuanyou Realm, countless beings in the world all want to get this Emperor's attention, yet you want to refuse."

"That's right, I refused, and I also said, you are not worthy."

Jun Wuxie stepped towards the Xuandi's illusory body, his aura rising wildly, and with each step, he made the heavens and earth of this mountain forest tremble.

The chaotic golden blood energy, with his footsteps, spread out into the void like waves in circles around him.

"A mere ant, only in the Heavenly God Realm, dares to be arrogant in front of this Emperor.

Since that's the case, this Emperor doesn't mind obliterating you, a person of amazing talent.

Oh, you are a body cultivator specializing in the physical body, your powerful physical body is your pride and characteristic.

This Emperor will use his illusory body to fight you in close combat, killing you in your most proud domain."

As the Xuandi's illusory body spoke, he also stepped towards Jun Wuxie, many mysterious runes appearing on his body, imprinted on every inch of his skin.

The rhythm of his footsteps caused the heavens and earth in this area to resonate, causing large swaths of trees below to break and collapse one after another.

"Don't flatter yourself.

You clearly know that close combat can cause greater damage.

Using the power of divine abilities and secret techniques in close combat to achieve instantaneous bursts, condensing power into one point, is the strongest form of attack.

You are a Great Emperor Realm powerhouse, how could you not know."

At the moment the words fell, runes and laws suddenly bloomed under Jun Wuxie's feet.

The Word of Travel technique erupted in speed, instantly crossing the sky, rushing to the Xuandi's illusory body.

"Even if you are the illusory body of a Great Emperor Realm powerhouse, with the cultivation of the early Divine Lord Realm, the Triple Heaven of the Thousand Autumn Myth.

And I am only at the initial stage of the Heavenly God Realm, my Divine Forbidden Domain is still at the Hundred Worlds Myth level, I can still suppress and kill you!"

As he spoke, he punched towards the Xuandi's illusory body's face.

The Xuandi's illusory body reacted quickly, tilting his head to avoid the fist.

Jun Wuxie then quickly changed his fist to a palm, the palm fingers turning sideways, striking the Xuandi's illusory body's cheek.

The Xuandi's illusory body raised his hand to block, using his fingers to counterattack, pointing towards his brow.

Jun Wuxie's free hand met him with his palm.

At the moment of contact with his fingers, the world in his palm evolved, his five fingers locking the Xuandi's illusory body's wrist like iron tongs.

The Xuandi only felt that his fingers seemed to have touched a void vortex.

His wrist was locked, he shook violently, breaking free.

Almost at the same time, Jun Wuxie's palm fingers blasted forward, instantly arriving in front of his chest, the secret technique laws blooming between his palm fingers, and majestic blood energy divine power erupted in an instant.

The Xuandi's illusory body protected his body with his arm, and a black light shield condensed.

Rumble!

Between Jun Wuxie's palm fingers, the dragon's roar and tiger's roar, a true dragon and a fierce tiger flashed at the same time.

The tyrannical divine power impacted the Xuandi's illusory body, causing it to slide backwards for a long distance.

"Xuandi, you must defend yourself, otherwise, if my secret technique unleashes a round of continuous strikes on you, I'm afraid half of your energy and spirit will be consumed."

Jun Wuxie was extremely confident, his tone like a senior guiding a junior, causing the corners of the Xuandi's illusory body's eyes to twitch slightly, and his eyes also turned cold.

"In this Emperor's life, this is the first time I have seen such a crazy Heavenly God Realm ant.

However, your abilities at this realm are indeed amazing.

Let this Emperor properly educate you, one cannot be too inflated!"

The Xuandi's illusory body strode forward, and several shadows instantly appeared on both sides of his body, each exactly the same as him, each aura so strong that it was suffocating.
