Asura Mad Emperor

The blood moon hung high, the scarlet aura was scattered upon the earth.

Jiang Bing, Zi Tong, and Bai Yunran all made their moves simultaneously, attacking Ling Xian'er and her companion.

The three of them knew full well that Ji Huo'er and her companion were formidable, they went all out and each employed a divine artifact.

Bai Yunran raised a large banner with one hand, Zi Tong's eyes shot out two purple discs, the sharp discs emitted a dazzling purple glow, enchantingly cold, standing out as particularly weird and potent in this stretch of the heavens and earth.

"Clang!"

The two sides clashed in the corridor, colliding with each other and producing a huge noise, like an extraterrestrial thunderclap suddenly exploding.

Terrifying energy overflowed, shaking the Dao arena, even the divine peaks on the periphery started to tremble.

This was due to both the collapsing of arrays and the fierce battle between the two sides.

"Such strong natives!"

Jiang Bing and the others were currently suppressed to the Holy Realm Early Stage, but they all used supreme divine artifacts.

The might of a divine artifact was enough to bridge the gap between realms.

Orbs of light exploded, blasts occurred continuously in the narrow passageway.

Runes surged, Dao magic danced around, and a terrifying aura burst forth unceasingly amidst the five.

The trio fought their way from inside the corridor to its exit.

Accompanying Ji Huo'er's Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, the Fire Fox's eight flame-burning tails, like eight Order Divine Chains, locked down from the void, striking Zi Tong.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Two faint sounds emerged simultaneously.

The eight tails, like Order Divine Chains, hit Zi Tong, whose crown's spinning Dao Wheel retaliated, also striking Ji Huo'er.

The power of the divine artifact was indeed extraordinary, Ji Huo'er and her companion were immensely formidable, and their current strength could even match Supreme Saints at the Intermediate Stage and even fight against ordinary Supreme Saints at the Late Stage.

Yet, they were evenly matched by the might of the three divine artifacts.

Luckily, the realms and souls of the three were suppressed to the lowest by the laws, the artifacts' power could hardly unleash one ten thousandth of their potential; otherwise, the two would have been defeated long ago.

The five of them instantly separated and stood at a distance, facing each other.

"If we were not wielding divine artifacts, I fear we would not be a match for these two young maidens," said Jiang Bing, holding a war spear in one hand, speaking sternly.

"Seeing that you control the Strange Fire Technique, I won't bother with your intention to harm me. I just want to enter the corridor, don't force my hand!"

Ji Huo'er pouted, speaking indignantly.

"Very simple, leave a spark of the Netherworld Strange Fire, and we will let you two go," said Jiang Bing, his voice lacked life and warmth, maintaining an indifferent and lofty arrogance, "This Netherworld Strange Fire is one of the top ten Strange Fires from ancient times, you, a mere Divine Wilderness native, are unworthy of it."

"What of being a Divine Wilderness native? At the dawn of heaven and earth, before the Underworld and Upper Realm came to be, the Divine Wilderness Continent nurtured the Wan Clans, aren't your kind also born from Divine Wilderness?"

Ling Xian'er spoke without any hint of inferiority, standing her ground, ethereal as ever.

"You have quite the sharp tongue. Our ancestors have ascended from the Divine Wilderness Continent tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of years ago.

With abundant spiritual power and vast territories in the Upper Realm, our talents are something you could not compare with, so the Netherworld Strange Fire must belong to us."

Zi Tong, having been struck by Ji Huo'er's divine skills, still felt a throbbing pain in his chest, his pride and sense of superiority turned into intense rage.

He felt deeply provoked, wishing he could devour Ji Huo'er alive.

"Hmph, you can forget it, our ancestor merely ascended the Upper Realm by serving as a flutist for Great Emperor-class strongmen, what basis do you have for boasting," Ji Huo'er said with contempt.

"You... you scoundrel looking for death!"

Zi Tong's beautiful face was filled with rage, his eyes nearly shooting fire.

The existence of the ancestor Zi Mo was a humiliation to the Zi Family.

Qinchuan and Ji Huo'er had used this matter to humiliate him repeatedly, and he couldn't contain himself.

"Hum!"

The void trembled, and Zi Tong's purple Dao plate in her hands shook again, cleaving towards Ji Huo'er with dazzling light, illuminating the sky like a resplendent sun.

"Die, demon, I've been irked by you for a long time!"

Zi Tong had been targeting Qinchuan outside of Devil Mountain, and Ji Huo'er had already taken note of this. Back then, Zi Tong was at the Great Emperor Realm, while she was merely at the Holy's Realm, so she didn't have the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Now, her realm had surpassed the other's, and she feared him not in the slightest.

Her fiery red hair billowed, her gaze lively and clear. Her physical body and Dao Magic merged as she leapt high up, transforming into a mountain to confront it.

Ling Xian'er, clad in white, appeared ethereal. Her skin was crystal clear and as radiant as winter snow. With a wave of her delicate hand, she moved shoulder to shoulder with Ji Huo'er.

Elsewhere.

"Disciples of the Jiang Family and Zi Family, join me and suppress them!"

Among the three, Bai Yunran held the most transcendent status as a disciple of Tianji Sect, but the Tianji Sect rarely involved themselves in worldly matters.

Thus, Jiang Bing of the Jiang Family subtly assumed a leading role among them.

Jiang Bing raised his arm and called out.

"Kill!"

Including Jiang Bing and Zi Tong, there were ten people from the Jiang and Zi families combined.

But at this moment, nearly thirty additional cultivators heeded Jiang Bing's call, activating their movement techniques and rushing towards Ling Xian'er and her companion at the center.

These people wanted to take advantage of the chaos of battle to fish in troubled waters, aiming to seize the Netherworld Strange Fire from Ji Huo'er and her companion.

Besides, even if they couldn't get the Strange Fire, they could still take the opportunity to gain some additional benefits amid the tumult—why not?

More than thirty cultivators were battling two.

Even with the gap between the Early Stage and Late Stage of Holy's Realm, their chances of victory were extremely high.

Moreover, most cultivators came from the Upper Realm and were in this Ancient Realm, where they could freely use Divine Artifacts.

"Do you think I, Li Kaitian, am a pushover?"

At that moment, the void emitted a tremor, and a piercing sound of tearing through the air urgently rang out as a golden pagoda descended from the heavens.

The small tower burst forth with blinding golden light, standing tall within the Dao arena and sweeping many unsuspecting cultivators away.

"Tsk, quite interesting. Knowing full well it's a path to doom, yet you still dare to jump out!"

Jiang Bing spoke indifferently.

"Fellow disciples of the Jiang Family, slay this old fool first!"

"Kill!"

Several Jiang Family disciples shouted in unison, their bodies bursting forth in motion as they pounced towards Li Kaitian.

"Boom!"

Bai Yunran made a move, waving the Tianji Banner that exuded mysterious and ancient black-and-white Qi of Tianji, bearing down on Ling Xian'er.

Zi Tong and several cultivators, also covered in Runes, with a sharp killing intent, struck out together, heading for Ji Huo'er, competing for the Netherworld Strange Fire.

Divine Envoys from the Divine Realm and Divine Wilderness Natives clashed at the same time in this place, resulting in an unparalleled melee.

If it were a battle against ordinary cultivators or Divine Wilderness Natives, Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er taking on several opponents wouldn't be an issue.

But now, the two faced mostly Divine Envoys from the Divine Realm.

It wasn't that these Divine Envoys were stronger than the two women at the same realm.

It was because in this Ancient Realm—despite being suppressed by the Four Aspects Law and Ancient Realm Principles, with their realms constrained—these Divine Envoys could still freely wield Divine Artifacts.

Even if a Holy could only unleash one ten-thousandth of a Divine Artifact's power, it was not to be underestimated.

After all, Divine Artifacts weren't supposed to exist for use at the Holy stage, and no Holy would possess a Divine Artifact in their hands usually.

The disadvantage of the Fox Clan of Thousand Fox Mountain being unable to refine Magic Artifacts was glaringly exposed at this moment.
