For the martial artists of the Feixian Continent, Heavenly Emperors were like divine dragons soaring in the heavens—rarely seen. Now, two Heavenly Emperors had descended upon the Feixian Continent simultaneously, and they were even charging into the Guyin Valley together. Such an event was utterly astonishing.
"The existence within the Guyin Valley actually provoked two Heavenly Emperors at once? How formidable!"
"I wonder which two among the three great Heavenly Emperors—Tianluo, Golden Crow, and You Yue—they are?"
"What a pity. Mysterious laws fill Guyin Valley, and those thick black mists obscure the scenery within, preventing us from seeing clearly what's happening."
...
The intense crashes of energy emanating from Guyin Valley caused all the beings who had hurried over from across the Feixian Continent to guess in surprise.
Upon hearing that Heavenly Emperors were attacking Guyin Valley, powerful experts from all corners of the Feixian Continent who received the news rushed over incessantly. Figures exuding terrifying auras soared through the air, descending into the area surrounding Guyin Valley.
"Where has that kid Ye Yunfei run off to?"
A Daoist priest wearing priestly robes also arrived near Guyin Valley. Hiding behind a large mountain in the distance, he peered into the valley with a worried expression.
It was Xuanlong Daozhang!
Ye Yunfei's sudden departure had left him somewhat concerned. He had a nagging feeling that Ye Yunfei's abrupt disappearance was likely related to that Yandi. Therefore, the moment he received word that a Heavenly Emperor was attacking Guyin Valley, he rushed over at full speed.
"It really is Yandi! Just a Clone dares to attack Guyin Valley. Truly worthy of a Heavenly Emperor!"
Xuanlong Daozhang faintly captured a wisp of Yandi's aura and immediately recognized him.
"To think that the Emperor Yan Pearl actually harbored a Heavenly Emperor's Clone all along. Does that mean I've been carrying a Heavenly Emperor with me all these years?"
Thinking of this, Xuanlong Daozhang broke out in a cold sweat. He understood that although he was the number one expert of the Tianxiong Domain, an expert at the World Fusion Realm, he was as weak as an ant compared to a true Heavenly Emperor. Even a Heavenly Emperor's Clone was vastly, vastly stronger than him!
Boom!
Inside Guyin Valley, Ye Yunfei and that mysterious existence exchanged two consecutive blows, shaking the entire valley.
Countless black chains of laws shot into the air, reinforcing the space within Guyin Valley, ensuring the valley grounds would not be destroyed in this terrifying battle.
"Which Heavenly Emperor of ancient times are you? Why do I have no impression of you whatsoever? Wait! Both the energy of your Soul Body and your corporeal energy seem to be temporarily borrowed! Yet you must once have been a Heavenly Emperor!"
Within Guyin Valley, that sinister voice spoke in shock.
"Hahaha… True heroes care not for origins. Today, we shall cooperate to level this Guyin Valley. Consider it a small bit of interest we collect from your Dark Faction!"
Yandi and Ye Yunfei stood side-by-side. Yandi's tall physique burned with blazing flames. The surrounding black mist seemed to fear these flames like snakes and scorpions, desperately retreating.
Yandi had once been among the mightiest Heavenly Emperors of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. In the era he belonged to, he was practically unrivaled among his peers.
Though now he was merely a Clone, that imposing demeanor that dominated the heavens and the earth, unrivaled and supreme, was still awe-inspiring.
"Hmph!"
The sinister voice snorted coldly, but a trace of wariness remained. If Yandi had come alone, he felt he could still put up a fight. But with two Heavenly Emperors arriving together, he knew he couldn't contend against them both simultaneously.
"Let me handle him! You deal with Yandi!"
Suddenly, a figure appearing aged and decrepit appeared, speaking coldly. It was an old crone, her face creased with wrinkles, leaning on a black cane. Her gaze was icy as she stared at Ye Yunfei.
"Just an incomplete Heavenly Emperor, and still so young at that. Utterly unremarkable. Yet you dare trespass into our Guyin Valley? You seek your own destruction."
The old crone shuffled unsteadily towards Ye Yunfei, sneering with contempt.
"Die, boy."
The old crone suddenly thrust out a large, skeletal hand, withered like dry wood. Though her blood vitality was dried up, it contained terrifying dark energy. Chains of black laws descended from the sky, rattling and shimmering, seeking to bind Ye Yunfei in place.
"Nothing more than an old creature with waning blood vitality. What arrogance is there to boast about."
Ye Yunfei said calmly.
He threw a punch. The nine suns upon his fist suddenly merged into one, blending into the fist itself, causing the entire fist to burst with divine radiance. The punch darkened a vast expanse of space ahead. Countless black mists in the vicinity were instantly annihilated, revealing a bright, clear world.
Boom!
The old crone was sent flying back by the punch, letting out a sharp cry. Her skeletal hand was cracked open, and black blood flowed out.
"What a fierce, resolute fist technique!"
Seeing this, Yandi couldn't help but feel completely reassured. Earlier, he had still worried whether Ye Yunfei could harness the energy temporarily and forcibly borrowed for him via that great secret technique. Borrowing energy was easy, but utilizing such terrifying emperor-level energy was extremely difficult, requiring corresponding experience, skill, perspective, and deep comprehension of all manner of heavenly laws. In short, mastering emperor-level energy involved far too many factors.
But Ye Yunfei's performance now delighted him, completely exceeding his expectations.
This was, without a doubt, a veteran Heavenly Emperor through and through!
"This feeling is truly wonderful!"
Ye Yunfei was also highly satisfied with his own punch.
This move was called Nine-Yang Return to One. It belonged to an emperor-level art, unbelievably violent.
"Your turn!"
Yandi roared and charged towards that Dark Creature who had uttered the sinister voice. A golden war halberd appeared in his hand, draped with boundless flames and shrouded in Chaos mist. It looked utterly terrifying.
"Do you think I fear you?!"
That Dark Creature also revealed its true form, resembling a massive black peak. A colossal wolf claw swiped out, surrounded by numerous dark stars in its grasp, its aura dreadful.
Clang!
The massive wolf claw and the golden war halberd collided, sending a shower of sparks into the sky, unbearably hot.
The Dark Creature's body continued to grow taller. Opening its mouth, it spat out endless Dark Creatures, rolling out like a tide, forming into armies that charged towards Yandi from all directions.
Yandi extended a finger. A sea of red flames appeared, constantly spreading forward. Beings composed of fire energy continuously stood up from within the sea of flames, holding various weapons as they surged forward, clashing against the Dark Creatures.
"Truly worthy of an ancient emperor-level expert! These beings condensed from emperor-level energy actually seem to possess life."
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but sigh with admiration. Of course, he knew these were merely phenomenon projections—bizarre sights simulated by the two Heavenly Emperor-level experts using their profound cultivation arts.
"Old crone, accept your death!"
Ye Yunfei swung his fist and charged towards the old crone. Nine suns rotated thunderously above his head, rising and falling, emitting resplendent light.
Eight Divine Meridians also emerged from within Ye Yunfei's body, like eight golden starry rivers, erupting with terrifying energy pressure.
"Those are Chaos God Meridians! How come I've never heard of any ancient Heavenly Emperor who possessed Chaos God Meridians? Boy, what are your origins?!"
The old crone's eyes widened in alarm, her voice sharp.
Chaos God Meridians were rare divine meridians, coveted even by Heavenly Emperor-level experts.
For a while, the old crone was forced to continuously retreat under Ye Yunfei's assault. Taking advantage of her home-ground familiarity, she constantly activated one ancient formation after another. All sorts of bizarre-looking Dark Creatures continuously appeared, roaring as they charged at Ye Yunfei. Some of these Dark Creatures were true living beings, while many were nurtured via formations or various dangerous, treacherous locations. Their combat power was extremely strong.
Yet all were annihilated by Ye Yunfei's fist!
"Die!"
Suddenly, the old crone stopped retreating and charged back. In her left hand she held a green longsword, in her right hand a black longsword. Brandishing them with fearsome auras, she slashed at Ye Yunfei.
Both swords were Emperor-Grade Treasures!
One Emperor-Grade Treasure was astonishing enough, yet this old crone had drawn two at once!
