~5 minute read · 1,275 words

Deep in the Fire Cloud Mountain Range.

Above a towering crimson mountain.

Surrounded by roaring flames, the heat was astonishing. Atop a massive crimson rock stood a man and a woman.

They were none other than Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Yun Xiao.

At this moment, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was covered in blood, exuding a murderous aura. However, there was a hint of exhaustion in his fierce eyes.

Next to him, Yun Xiao was also stained with blood, her aura waning, and her complexion a bit pale.

Both of them seemed to have suffered some minor injuries, their breathing somewhat chaotic.

Around the peak of the mountain, in the surrounding void, there were densely packed, at least a hundred celestial boats.

On each celestial boat stood numerous powerful cultivators.

God Venerable Realm cultivators were countless.

Some celestial boats even had figures with even more terrifying auras.

These were strong practitioners of the Divine King Realm.

However, these Divine King Realm experts were shrouded in mist-like radiance, making it impossible to discern their true appearances.

The celestial boats, although numerous, vaguely formed two major camps, separated by a thousand feet, confronting each other.

And the mountain peak where Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Yun Xiao stood seemed to have become a clear dividing line.

"You there, you don’t need to escape any more. Join us quickly, and you might still have a chance to survive..."

On a celestial boat on the eastern side, a strong expert of the Eighth Layer of the God Venerable Realm stood at the bow and shouted loudly.

"Haha, I say the guy in red, you’ve injured so many people along this journey, arousing the hatred of many factions. Quickly come over and join us, or your life won’t be spared!"

On an adjacent celestial boat, a powerful expert of the Ninth Level of the God-Honor Realm laughed loudly.

On other celestial boats, powerful cultivators also spoke, trying to persuade Eastern Emperor Taiyi to join their camp.

"You damned brat, if you are sensible, quickly kill the Solar Bird, and we may spare your life. Otherwise, neither you nor the Solar Bird will have a burial place!"

In the western camp, a sinister-looking expert standing on a celestial boat in the Ninth Level of the God-Honor Realm said coldly.

"Surrender, killing the Solar Bird is your token of allegiance!"

"Kill the Solar Bird!"

"Kill..."

The tide of voices resounded in the western void.

On the rock.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi glanced at the densely packed celestial boats, and instead of despair, his weary face once again showed excitement.

"What a joke, wanting me to surrender? How is that possible?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi crossed his arms behind his back, his eyes sparkling, his fighting spirit blazing.

Tremendous strength radiated from every pore, causing the surrounding void to distort once more.

Despite continuously fighting along the way and being mentally exhausted, Eastern Emperor Taiyi would absolutely not concede.

Even if the opponent was stronger.

Even if it meant he would die in battle.

He would absolutely never surrender.

If this avatar really perished, he would find a way to have his true self descend to the Divine Land.

Then, he would kill all ignoble scoundrels.

"The Emperor?"

A man on a celestial boat burst into laughter upon hearing this, exceptionally arrogant: "Haha, you with your mere cultivation base of the God Venerable Realm, dare to call yourself an emperor? That’s hilarious!"

"Haha!"

Around the celestial boats, all the cultivators, as if seeing something amusing, laughed out loud simultaneously.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s expression was stern, gazing at the overwhelming crowd, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Miss Yun Xiao, all these people are after me. If you leave now, they won’t trouble you..."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi said slowly.

Yun Xiao, her face cold, held her sword in one hand, her brows tightly knitted, remained silent.

She was in a dilemma.

The complexity of the situation was beyond her expectations.

There were too many cultivators around.

So many that it was despairing.

No matter how powerful Eastern Emperor Taiyi was, he couldn’t be a match for so many people.

If she rashly intervened, she would inevitably be implicated, making it likely she might not find the Real Sun Furnace and lose her life as well.

Thinking it over.

Yun Xiao finally decided to withdraw.

She had no ties with Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and it was not worth risking her life at this moment.

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, take care."

Yun Xiao said softly, her face still cold, no fluctuations in her silver pupils.

"Farewell."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi smiled gracefully, seeming unswayed by the crisis.

Yun Xiao turned and flew towards the north.

This was a narrow vacuum zone between the two great camps.

"Don’t let that woman go, capture her first. Maybe she can threaten that guy!"

A cultivator shouted loudly.

Several celestial boats swooped in, sealing off the vacuum zone.

"I say everyone, your target is me and the Solar Bird on my shoulder. This matter has nothing to do with Miss Yun Xiao, please let her leave immediately!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi looked around and spoke in a deep voice.

"Kill the Solar Bird, and we’ll let her go!"

A cultivator shouted angrily.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s face darkened; the arrogance of these cultivators pushed him to the brink.

"I say, brother, you don’t need to worry too much. Actually, above us is a secret realm left by the Sun God King. I can take you in at any time!"

The voice of the Solar Bird suddenly transmitted into Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s mind.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was momentarily stunned.

Unexpectedly, there was a secret realm above their heads.

This secret realm was indeed well hidden.

"Despite their numbers, none have found this secret realm over the years..."

The Solar Bird chuckled.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s face stiffened, unable to find words.

This Solar Bird had many schemes.

"I say, brother, once you enter this secret realm, you become my master. From then on, the Real Sun Furnace and the Sun God King’s inheritance will all be yours. Now those people are squabbling over you, now is the perfect chance for me to take you!"

The Solar Bird spoke excitedly.

Finishing its words, its body suddenly transformed into a flame, completely enveloping Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

This flame shot up like a pillar of light, concealed deep within the void, vanishing suddenly.

The entire process.

Was astonishingly swift.

By the time the cultivators on nearby celestial boats reacted, Eastern Emperor Taiyi had long vanished without a trace.

"Ma De, where did that guy suddenly go? Where was he transported to?"

From each celestial boat, beams of light broke through the sky, flying deep into the void.

Everyone released their divine sense, continuously searching.

"There must be a secret realm here, the place where the Sun God King hid the Real Sun Furnace!"

An elder said with certainty.

"This secret realm is eerie, cannot be found!"

Another middle-aged man said, his face gloomy.

"Grab that woman and question her, she might have clues!"

A Divine King holding a ninth-level aura suddenly shouted.

Forty to fifty figures immediately descended from mid-air, completely blocking Yun Xiao’s path.

Each one, with a cultivation base of the God Venerable Realm.

Yun Xiao raised her sword, her face cold, looking at the surrounding cultivators.

She was only at the First Layer of the God Sovereign Realm, this battle was inevitably lost.

Above, the void rippled.

Ye Yun, with Clear Heavenly Lord and Moon Heavenly Lord, stepped out from within.
