"Where is that youngster!"
The Tang Emperor waved his hand and asked Jinlun Great Master.
"He is in that location. However, his mastery of Geomancy Technique is extremely profound. He should be using the dense Earth Qi energy here to conceal himself!" Jinlun Great Master replied.
"He is right there. I can still sense him!" Jinlun Great Master pointed in Ye Yunfei's direction.
The other Earth Immortals were now having some difficulty sensing Ye Yunfei, but Jinlun Great Master could still perceive his form.
"Everyone!"
"Activate the Golden God Battle Formation together!"
The Tang Emperor's soul power immediately reached out towards Ye Yunfei's location. Then, his voice turned grave as he issued the order.
"A descendant of Zhu Qiantang has arrived!"
At that moment, the old man standing beside Ye Yunfei suddenly grew agitated.
He sensed the bloodline of Zhu Qiantang within this Tang Emperor!
They were enemies, and upon meeting, their blood boiled with instant fury.
Rumble...
Following the Tang Emperor's command, all the experts of the Qiantang Empire immediately converged, assuming a battle formation. It erupted with countless dazzling golden rays of light.
Boom...
An ancient, phantom-like golden battle deity materialized directly within this subterranean world. In its hand, it held a golden battle spear, its divine might sweeping across the realm.
"This is the Golden God Battle Formation of the Jin Dynasty!"
The old man's eyes narrowed sharply.
"Is it very powerful?"
Seeing the old man's reaction, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but ask.
After all, most of the Qiantang Empire's experts were gathered here now. If they deployed an extremely powerful battle formation on top of that, it would surely be difficult to deal with.
"Hmph, if it were the complete version of the Golden God Battle Formation, and it was set up by the experts of the Jin Dynasty themselves, of course I'd flee at the very mention of its name. But the Golden God Battle Formation before us is incomplete! And it's being activated by these Earth Immortals. They cannot do anything to us! Don't worry."
The old man snorted coldly.
Hearing his words, Ye Yunfei felt somewhat relieved.
"There are only five restrictions left. Once these five are broken, I can retrieve my feet, and then my body will be whole! After that, we can begin to dismantle this Supreme Son of Heaven Terrain. Or more accurately, not dismantle, but transform it. I will transform this Supreme Son of Heaven Terrain into another large-scale earth layout! Youngster, hurry up and break these last five restrictions!"
The old man urged Ye Yunfei.
"Understood!" Ye Yunfei nodded.
He then ceased paying attention to the people of the Qiantang Empire and focused wholeheartedly on breaking the formations. Ye Yunfei understood the current situation clearly. He had to break these last few restrictions as quickly as possible, allowing the old man to retrieve his feet. Once that was done, the old man could assist him in transforming this Supreme Son of Heaven Terrain. Then, everything would fall into place.
Boom! Boom...
Ye Yunfei exerted his full strength, unleashing a series of attacks of extreme ferocity. Simultaneously, following the method taught by the old man, he directed the surrounding Earth Qi and Earth Dragons to attack the restrictions together.
"Not good!"
"He's breaking the restrictions left by our founding ancestor!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei's actions, the Tang Emperor's face suddenly changed dramatically, and the words escaped his lips involuntarily.
He had suddenly remembered a dying instruction left behind by the Qiantang Empire's founding patriarch. It was said that back in the day, the patriarch had arranged a large-scale earth layout and numerous restrictions beneath the imperial city. He instructed the imperial descendants of the Qiantang Empire to protect the earth layout and restrictions beneath the imperial city at all costs, as only then could they ensure the Qiantang Empire's eternal legacy, forever prosperous and never declining.
In the beginning, the Qiantang Empire's royal family strictly adhered to their ancestor's teaching. Every generation would station a large number of experts personally to guard beneath the imperial city.
However, because the Qiantang Empire had always been a major power within this region of space and time, practically no one dared to come and cause trouble at their headquarters. As time flowed on, generation after generation, the descendants of the Qiantang Empire's royal family gradually grew complacent, forgetting the founding patriarch's instruction, and their vigilance over the defenses beneath the imperial city began to slip.
By the generation of the Tang Emperor, not a single expert was stationed beneath the imperial city for guard duty. The imperial family believed that no one would dare provoke the Qiantang Empire within the Qiantang Great World, let alone right here at the imperial city.
Now, watching Ye Yunfei's actions, the Tang Emperor suddenly realized that the founding patriarch's words might very well be true!
"Everyone, stop him at all costs!"
"We cannot allow him to continue causing any more damage here!"
The Tang Emperor was starting to panic. He took a deep breath, gathered his energy, and spoke in a clear, loud voice.
"Attack!"
Seeing the Tang Emperor's expression, the Qiantang Empire's experts also seemed to grasp the severity of the situation. In their memories, the Tang Emperor had always maintained an expression of calm composure, never losing his dignified bearing over any matter.
Rumble...
This time, all the Earth Immortal experts, all the True Immortals, and all other Qiantang World personnel who had come to this subterranean world began attacking wildly. They unleashed torrents of savage attacks, bombarding towards Ye Yunfei.
For a moment, it felt as though this entire subterranean realm was about to be overturned. Boundless and endless energy utterly illuminated the world beneath.
The shockwaves from these energies traveled upwards from the underground realm, causing the entire ground above to tremble and shake as if being sifted.
Boom...
The ancient golden battle deity conjured by the Golden God Battle Formation raised its battle spear and, carrying terrifying energy pressure, violently hacked down towards Ye Yunfei.
"Only three restrictions remain, youngster! Don't be afraid. I will block all attacks!" the old man growled softly.
At this moment, his control over the Supreme Son of Heaven Terrain had grown increasingly stronger.
Rumble...
The old man formed hand seals with his hands, executing Geomancy Technique to channel Earth Qi, directly activating the Supreme Son of Heaven Terrain. Immediately, the entire subterranean world began to shake violently.
Boom! Boom...
Walls of yellow earth materialized continuously, forming a barrier around Ye Yunfei's body.
Furthermore, streams of Five-Clawed Golden Dragons appeared one after another, moving and swimming around Ye Yunfei's body. They erupted with powerful energy pressure, helping Ye Yunfei withstand the savage attacks coming from all directions.
Roar...
A colossal golden dragon materialized around Ye Yunfei, extending a pair of dragon claws to block the battle spear hacking down from the golden battle deity.
"Damnation!"
"How is this possible!"
"Those golden dragons represent the fortune of our Qiantang Empire! They should be an asset belonging to our Qiantang Empire! Why are they helping that youngster!"
Witnessing this scene, the Tang Emperor and Jinlun Great Master were utterly dumbfounded.
In their minds, these Five-Clawed Golden Dragons within the space where the imperial city resided should be foundational assets of the Qiantang Empire. Yet now, they were helping Ye Yunfei resist the attacks of the Qiantang Empire's own forces. This was utterly unacceptable.
"Great Master, what is happening?"
"Why are these Five-Clawed Golden Dragons representing our Qiantang Empire's fortune helping that youngster instead?"
The Tang Emperor turned to Jinlun Great Master and asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, it is most likely that youngster has tampered with something in this subterranean world!"
"He must have been hiding here for a long time, wreaking havoc all along!"
"As long as we kill him or drive him away from this place, everything should return to normal."
Jinlun Great Master pondered for a moment and replied.
"Very well! By my command, from this moment on, mobilize all forces!"
"Kill that youngster! At the very least, drive him away from this subterranean world!"
"On no account can we allow him to continue his destruction here!"
The Tang Emperor immediately issued a decree to all experts of the Qiantang Empire.
