"Dead... dead?"

The Yao Guang Saint Master stared at the corpses of the six Venerable Ancient Emperors ahead. Despite being dead, they still emanated an endlessly terrifying aura. His eyeballs bulged, and a chill shot up from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head. These were six unequaled and invincible Venerable Ancient Emperors. Each of them had once ruled an era, an undefeated and terrifying Venerable throughout heaven and earth. Yet, they had been exterminated by a projection avatar with a single sentence, without the slightest power to resist. How terrifying that was. How powerful. It was beyond his imagination. Beyond description with words.

Beside him, the Yao Guang Saint Son and Yao Guang Sacred Girl were similarly stunned, their faces filled with shock and fear. Today, they had actually witnessed the legendary Forbidden Zone Venerables. Yet, more horrifying was that these Forbidden Zone Venerables were crushed to death by a projection avatar as if they were mere ants.

HUM.

Suddenly, the Yao Guang Saint Master's body trembled as he felt a gaze turn towards him. That gaze… Indescribably deep. Unfathomably vast. His entire body went limp and collapsed to the ground.

"Seal!"

The terrifying projection avatar gently uttered a single word. The Extreme Dao Emperor Soldier Dragon Pattern Black Gold Tripod above the Saint Master's head was instantly sealed, transforming into a simple, unadorned black tripod that fell from the sky. But the Yao Guang Saint Master dared not voice any objection; he didn't even dare to move a muscle.

About time!

After everything was done, Hongmeng thought to himself. His projection avatar turned into specks of golden light and disappeared from the world. I won't bother with the Yao Guang Saint Master and his group. Ye Hei is more than capable of handling them.

"Farewell, Our God!"

Seeing Hongmeng's projection dissipate, Ye Hei, Xiong Ba, Yunyun, and the others all bowed together, their eyes full of excitement. Yan Ruyu and other Human-Demon Fishes powerhouses who had joined the Hongmeng Divine Sect were equally thrilled. Joining the Hongmeng Divine Sect was indeed the right choice! The God of Hongmeng is truly too great, too terrifying, too powerful!

「Meanwhile.」

Within the Forbidden Life Area, terrifying Divine Senses stirred once more. One by one, the Venerable Ancient Emperors heaved long sighs of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

"Phew, he's finally gone!" one exclaimed.

"Too terrifying!" another agreed.

"Longevity Celestial Master, Stone Emperor, and the others were all killed. It's a good thing I held back and didn't go out immediately, otherwise my corpse would definitely be cold by now!" a third mused.

"That's right! I knew Immortal Artifacts weren't so easily obtained!"

"Indeed. Every Immortal Artifact has its own origin. Once you're involved with one, you invite great karma. I never imagined such a terrifying existence truly walked the world!"

"The arrival of this terrifying being today proves the Immortal Realm definitely exists, and so do Fairies!"

"Indeed!"

The Venerable Ancient Emperors from the Forbidden Zone exchanged thoughts, their gazes complicated as they looked towards Ye Hei and his group. Even after Hongmeng's projection avatar had vanished, they dared not make a move against Ye Hei. Who knew if Ye Hei could summon it again? But they all memorized the faces of Ye Hei and his companions. Many Venerable Ancient Emperors had flickering gazes, their thoughts inscrutable.

「The Yan Kingdom in the Southern Region.」

Above the Spiritual Void Heavenly Cave.

The Yao Guang Saint Master shakily stood up from the ground. Looking towards Ye Hei with a sheepish smile, he said, "Young Master Ye, there have been many misunderstandings. Please forgive us. The Yao Guang Holy Land is willing to offer compensation!"

My prized Emperor Soldier, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Tripod, has been sealed by Hongmeng. With my cultivation at merely the Second Layer of the Immortal Platform, I'm no match for Ye Hei. Especially not with those terrifying entities like Xiong Ba, Yunyun, and Tushan Rongrong by his side. Even if I were to awaken the Ancient Saint slumbering in the Holy Land, we definitely couldn't stop Ye Hei. Didn't I just see even Venerable Ancient Emperors fall?!

"There's no need for compensation. Once I've eradicated the Yao Guang Holy Land, everything you own will be mine!" Ye Hei said, baring his white teeth in a grin.

"Young Master Ye, although you have the support of that great entity, surely such a being won't intervene on your behalf every time, will they?"

The Yao Guang Saint Master, feeling aggrieved but not daring to lash out, suppressed his anger and said, "There's an old saying: 'Always leave a path for retreat, so that you may meet again on good terms.' Young Master Ye, do you truly wish for a mutually destructive outcome?"

"Mutually destructive outcome?"

Ye Hei scoffed disdainfully. "The fish will die, but the net will not break!"

"Retreat!"

Hearing this, the Yao Guang Saint Master knew the situation could not be resolved peacefully and roared.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

As his voice fell, the Yao Guang Saint Master's figure shot into the distance. The Yao Guang Saint Son and the other powerhouses from the Yao Guang Holy Land scattered, fleeing in all directions. Only Yao Xi, the Yao Guang Sacred Girl, remained, standing alone like a blooming Divine Lotus. Her skin was crystalline, her dark, lustrous hair flowed, and her beauty was breathtaking, as pure as the divine moon.

Escape?

A powerful surge of qi and blood erupted from Ye Hei. In an instant, he caught up with the Yao Guang Saint Master, a Golden Palm slamming down ruthlessly. The Yao Guang Saint Master was only at the Power realm and vastly weaker than Ye Hei. He was severely wounded in an instant, losing all combat ability, and then captured by Ye Hei.

"Damn it! Why has it come to this?!"

The Yao Guang Saint Son transformed into a golden streak of light and rapidly fled. His heart seethed with resentment. Since youth, he and Hua Yunfei had been highly regarded by the Ruthless Sovereign's lineage, chosen as inheritors of the Indestructible Heaven Art. He had believed he would rise, look down upon the world, and ultimately achieve emperorship. But now, a figure like Ye Hei had appeared. Even if he were to achieve emperorship, he feared he would still live under the shadow of that terrifying existence.

"Hey, leaving without so much as a greeting? That's not very polite, you know!"

Just then, a teasing voice rang in his ear. The Yao Guang Saint Son's expression changed drastically, as if facing a formidable enemy. He looked up and saw the girl with fox ears appear beside him, her small eyes narrowed into crescents as she smiled at him.

"The Holy Light Technique!"

Without hesitation, the Yao Guang Saint Son raised his hand and unleashed a Divine Art.

"My, aren't we feisty!"

Tushan Rongrong easily crushed The Holy Light Technique with a pinch of her small hand. Then, with a casual slap, the Saint Son was sent flying as if heavily struck, landing before Yan Ruyu and the others. Experts from the Hongmeng Divine Sect immediately captured him.

Simultaneously, Xiong Ba and Yunyun reached out, and the other Elders from the Yao Guang Holy Land were all captured and brought back. Ye Hei, at this point, had also apprehended the Yao Guang Saint Master.

"Young Master Ye, I wish to join the Divine Church. I wonder if you would accept me?"

Yao Xi glided forward gracefully, her smile enchanting. She was like mist veiling the bright moon, or a gentle breeze caressing jade flowers—resplendent and full of grace. She stood before Ye Hei, ethereal as mist, her long gown trailing, outlining her exquisite, undulating figure. She was tall, slender, and elegant.

"Welcome to the Hongmeng Divine Sect!"

Ye Hei smiled faintly. However, his current body was rather small. Next to Yao Xi's tall stature, he only reached her chest, creating a somewhat comical sight.

"Yao Xi pays her respects to Sect Hierarch Ye!"

Yao Xi smiled sweetly, her ethereal form swaying. Her skin was white as jade and glittered with a crystalline light. Her backward glance and smile held a captivating charm. She had been confident about joining the Hongmeng Divine Sect, but she never expected it to be this easy.

"No need for formalities, Sacred Girl. Your perception is as sharp as a torch. When the time comes, I will grant you a colossal opportunity!"

Ye Hei appraised Yao Xi. A woman like her, blessed with great destiny, is a natural offering for the Upper God. For Yao Xi, isn't that a colossal opportunity?

"Thank you, Sect Hierarch!"

Seeing that Ye Hei didn't elaborate, Yao Xi refrained from asking further questions. She merely wondered silently what kind of opportunity it might be.

Ye Hei nodded slightly. Reaching into the void, he seized the sealed Dragon Pattern Black Gold Tripod and remarked, "Not bad. This will also be offered to my God in due time."

BOOM!

At that moment, a powerful aura erupted in the distance, and dull, thunderous roars echoed through heaven and earth.

Ye Hei stowed away the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Tripod and looked over, a pleased surprise on his face as he exclaimed, "The Monster Emperor's Tomb has appeared!"

Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes flashed with brilliant light. The Monster Emperor's Tomb! That's her ancestor's mausoleum, and it holds countless peerless treasures!
