Feng Wuji is forced to submit to Ye Chenfeng, becoming his servant along with the Chaos Griffon. As they attempt to escape their confinement, the Chaos Griffon struggles against a powerful barrier. Meanwhile, outside, the Wu and Jiang families are overpowered by three Divine Origin Realm cultivators, who demand tribute or threaten the lives of everyone present.

The atmosphere was quiet.

Yin Chengzhou, Yuan Cun’an, and Qu Yongde looked mockingly at Wu Chengyan and Jiang Shengliang, unable to get up.

Being able to trample the Wus and Jiangs, once one of the Ancient Era’s five great families, underfoot gave them a sense of exhilaration.

After exchanging a glance, Wu Chengyan and Jiang Shengliang had no choice but to bow their heads to Yin Chengzhou and the other three cultivators from the Divine Origin Realm to safeguard the Wus and Jiangs.

The other ancestors of the Wus and Jiangs, standing beside Wu Chengyan and Jiang Shengliang, had eyes blazing with fury, slowly exuding spiritual energy from their bodies.

Wu Chengyan frowned and said, "Stay aside."

Jiang Shengliang also said, "Let us handle the matters here."

Then.

Wu Chengyan’s storage ring flashed, and his gaze fixed on the trio of Yin Chengzhou: "I hope you keep your word."

He flicked his hand.

Eighteen slender needles, each ten centimeters long, suddenly hovered before him.

These eighteen needles rotated continuously in the air, emanating a peculiar energy fluctuation from above.

These were the Illusionary Void Celestial Needles, an immortal artifact passed down within the Wu family, a rare find.

Once the Illusionary Void Celestial Needles are activated, they can form a starry space.

Within the starry space, the eighteen needles can travel unnoticed, keeping opponents perpetually caught off guard.

The only flaw in the Illusionary Void Celestial Needles.

Missing one main needle, the complete Illusionary Void Celestial Needles consist of nineteen needles.

Missing the main needle means that although a starry space can still be formed, the spiritual energy required to activate the Illusionary Void Celestial Needles is massive—even a Divine Emperor at the Initial Stage cannot afford the consumption, which is the biggest flaw after losing the main needle.

However.

This is still the best immortal artifact Wu Chengyan could produce.

After Wu Chengyan took out the Illusionary Void Celestial Needles, Jiang Shengliang’s storage ring also flashed.

A silver-white chain instantly danced in the air, rapidly lowering the temperature.

Sky Extreme Mystic Ice Chain.

This is also a rather remarkable immortal artifact, but like the Wu family’s Illusionary Void Celestial Needles, the Sky Extreme Mystic Ice Chain is missing a middle link, preventing the cultivator’s spiritual energy from flowing quickly through the entire chain, making activation slow and difficult.

Back then, when the Hes expelled the Wus and Jiangs from their original locations, many of the family’s immortal artifacts were looted, and even those that remained were not highly ranked.

The Illusionary Void Celestial Needles and Sky Extreme Mystic Ice Chain, despite being high-level artifacts, were incomplete, and using them would be of little practical use—these artifacts were ill-suited for real combat.

Yet these were truly the best immortal artifacts they had.

Seeing the two artifacts, Yin Chengzhou, Yuan Cun’an, and Qu Yongde’s eyes slightly brightened.

All renowned immortal artifacts from the Ancient Era have been documented.

The Wu family’s Illusionary Void Celestial Needles and the Jiang family’s Sky Extreme Mystic Ice Chain were once also famous, and they’ve seen introductions to these two artifacts.

Their palms beckoned.

The Illusionary Void Celestial Needles and Sky Extreme Mystic Ice Chain flew into their hands, and after sensing these two artifacts, their expressions turned grim—they could clearly feel these were defective and entirely impractical.

Qu Yongde shouted, "It seems you won’t believe it until you see the grave! Trying to pass off two incomplete immortal artifacts to fool us?"

The aura of a Divine Emperor at the Initial Stage spread out like waves.

Qu Yongde swung his arm.

Strong and swift energy surged toward Wu Chengyan and Jiang Shengliang.

Wu Chengyan and Jiang Shengliang had no way of avoiding it.

"Bang! Bang!" Two sounds.

The violent wind struck them, causing blood to gush from their mouths, making their faces even paler.

Yin Chengzhou coldly said, "We must fulfill our promise; what you offered did not satisfy us, so we shall first execute a hundred of your Wu and Jiang members."

With blood overflowing from his mouth, Wu Chengyan shouted, "This is the best immortal artifact we can offer! Our Wu and Jiang families are no longer in our prime—do not push us too far!"

"What if we do push you too far?" Yuan Cun’an sneered without pause.

During the conversation.

The figures of Yin Chengzhou, Yuan Cun’an, and Qu Yongde moved, their oppressive aura heading toward Wu Lingxiang and the others—they were ready to massacre the Wus and Jiangs.

Facing the aura of three Divine Emperors at the Initial Stage, the remaining ancestors of the Wus and Jiangs paled.

The youth, Wu Lingxiang, Jiang Caixuan, Wu Gui, and Wu Lingyu, had immense fighting spirit, yet were powerless against the three strong Divine Emperors at the Initial Stage.

The figures of Yin Chengzhou and the others suddenly appeared before Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan.

Qu Yongde scoffed, saying, "The Ancient Era’s Wu and Jiang families? I’m eager to try killing members of an ancient family!"

Facing the oppressive aura of the Divine Emperors at the Initial Stage, Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan couldn’t move.

The strongest of the Wus and Jiangs’ ancestors only reached the Divine Venerable Realm, far incomparable to the Divine Emperor Realm.

Just as Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan thought they’d die at the hands of three Divine Realm cultivators.

"Boom!" A loud explosion sounded.

Rubble from the collapsed Ghost Cloud Cave suddenly shot into the sky.

A figure abruptly burst from underground.

This figure was none other than Ye Chenfeng, after the Chaos Griffon created a breach.

As its master, Ye Chenfeng was naturally the first to emerge, with the Chaos Griffon and Feng Wuji conscientiously following behind.

The commotion here caused Yin Chengzhou and the others’ moves to pause slightly.

Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng, Wu Chengyan, Jiang Shengliang, and the others felt joy on their faces—they were aware of Ye Chenfeng’s powerful combat capabilities, but with the presence of three Divine Emperors at the Initial Stage, Ye Chenfeng’s strength was only at the Extreme Peak.

Could Ye Chenfeng triumph over the combined force of three Divine Emperors at the Initial Stage?

"Aren’t you old codgers ready to flee? My brother Ye Chenfeng is here, so don’t end up wetting your pants later!" Wu Gui had blind faith in Ye Chenfeng.

After witnessing the changes in the Wus’ and Jiangs’ expressions, Yin Chengzhou and the others focused their gaze entirely on Ye Chenfeng.

The aura on Ye Chenfeng was merely at the Extreme Peak.

Yuan Cun’an sneered, saying, "An Extreme Peak cultivator! Is this really the final trump card of the Wus and Jiangs?"

"Once renowned as one of the Ancient Era’s Five Great Families, have the Wus and Jiangs fallen to such a state? The remaining three families in the Divine Origin Realm now dwarf you in comparison."
