The old man in imperial robes looked at the three people beside him with a bitter expression. Deep in his eyes, there was a fear that seemed to come from his soul. There was nothing fake about it.
However, perhaps Wang Baole had read too many high officials' autobiographies and felt that one could not judge a book by its cover. The more this kind of person was, the more likely it was that he would make a huge comeback.
"From his attire and the words of the others, this old man is clearly the emperor of the Divine Eye civilization." Wang Baole blinked and continued to observe.
As he watched, the three purple-robed elders beside the emperor had ugly expressions after he finished speaking. The one who had spoken just now looked coldly at the emperor of the Divine Eye civilization and was about to speak. However, before he could say anything, the Spirit Immortal cultivator standing in the crowd, who was obviously not part of the royal family, suddenly laughed.
"Fellow Daoist He Yunzi, your royal brother, the current emperor of the Divine Eye civilization … doesn't seem to be very cooperative."
"Fellow Daoist Zi Luo, please calm down!" The purple-robed elder called He Yunzi by the Spirit Immortal cultivator cupped his fists slightly at the Spirit Immortal cultivator. He turned to look at the emperor of the Divine Eye civilization again, a murderous look in his eyes.
"Royal Brother, don't have any more unrealistic fantasies and don't test my limits. Furthermore … the reason we are doing this is for the glory of the Divine Eye royal family. Look at the attitude of all the royal family members. This is the general trend!"
"He Yunzi, you have really misunderstood me. I can't do anything about it. Of course, I know that almost all the royal family members now support your cooperation with the Violet Gold civilization. Although I don't agree with this, I know that other than this, I don't have the ability to oppose it." The emperor of the Divine Eye civilization looked bitterly at He Yunzi.
"It's good that you know, Royal Brother. Once we open the ancestral tomb, we can completely open the Divine Eye Door. When that time comes, according to our agreement with the Violet Gold civilization, the Violet Gold civilization will descend and destroy the three greater sects, restoring the glory of the Divine Eye royal family. Royal Brother, don't you want the Divine Eye royal family to rise again?" He Yunzi stared at the emperor. As he spoke, there was a fervent look in his eyes.
"Rise …" The Divine Eye Emperor smiled bitterly again. There was no longing or hope in his eyes. After a few breaths of silence, he sighed.
"I also wish to restore the royal family to its former glory, but isn't using external forces the same as inviting a wolf into the house? Even if we succeed in the end, will the Divine Eye civilization still be the same as before? Moreover, with how powerful the Violet Gold civilization is, why would they … ally with us? You and I both know this very well! "
"But even if that's the case, it doesn't mean that We won't try to help you. He Yunzi, how about I give the position of Emperor to you? I've truly done my best, but the concentration of my bloodline isn't high enough. There's nothing I can do about it." At the end of his speech, the old Emperor seemed to be on the verge of tears. Wang Baole watched all of this from a distance. His heart was already in turmoil.
On one hand, he felt that he seemed to have learned an incredible piece of news. He now had an understanding of the identities of the people wearing rainbow-colored robes and purple masks standing outside. He knew that they should be from the so-called Violet Gold civilization.
On the other hand, he was a little unsure about the old Emperor. Based on his past experience, he felt that there was definitely something wrong with this guy.
Clearly, Wang Baole wasn't the only one who thought this way. He Yunzi stared at the old Emperor, the murderous intent in his eyes intensifying once again.
"Imperial Brother, you may seem muddle-headed all these years, but I believe that you're far more scheming than I am. That's why I'll give you three breaths of time. If you don't activate it by then, don't blame me for being ruthless!" He Yunzi's voice was filled with madness as he spoke the last few words. He slowly raised his right hand. Wind and thunder rumbled around him, and a huge handprint appeared above his head.
"One!"
"I'm telling the truth …"
"Two!"
"Heavens, why don't you believe me!"
"Three!" He Yunzi's veins bulged as he roared, his right hand about to fall.
"I'll activate it, I'll activate it!" The old Emperor's face was deathly pale, and his expression was one of extreme fear. He quickly screamed and scrambled to the front of the statue. In the process, his crown fell off, but he wasn't in the mood to care about it. With a long face and trembling hands, he bit open the wound on his finger, circulated his cultivation base, and squeezed out blood before throwing it at the statue's eyes.
"Open for me!"
The statue trembled slightly, but it was only a slight tremble. There were no other changes after that …
This scene made He Yunzi and the other two purple-robed old men's faces turn ugly. This was especially so for He Yunzi. He immediately laughed in anger, and the murderous intent in his eyes erupted. He instantly brought his right hand down, and the huge handprint instantly rumbled as it went straight for the old Emperor.
Its momentum was like a rainbow, and its murderous intent surged, causing a storm to howl. Just as it was about to land, the old Emperor screamed. Tears streamed down his face, and with a thud, he fell to his knees in front of the statue and began to wail.
"Oh Laozu, please open your eyes in heaven. I beg of you, open the gates to the ancestral tomb … I … I …" As he spoke, his fear erupted, and the old Emperor shuddered, and a wet patch appeared on his pants … Then, he froze for a moment, lowered his head to look, and laughed bitterly. He actually sat there and began to bawl.
His wails were so tragic that it would move anyone who heard them.
Wang Baole was taken aback by what he saw. His eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets. He observed the old emperor carefully for a moment, then took a deep breath. He thought to himself that the old man was either an extremely cunning person, or … he had really been misunderstood.
He Yunzi was also stunned. He stared at the wailing old Emperor, and a look of helplessness appeared in his eyes. Then, he turned to look at the group of cultivators outside.
"Fellow Daoist Zi Luo, please excuse us."
Zi Luo, the Spirit Immortal cultivator from the Violet Gold civilization, laughed when he heard that. His eyes shone brightly, and after looking around, he looked at He Yunzi and spoke calmly.
"It's fine. I came here today to deal with this matter. Since the bloodline of your Divine Eye civilization's Emperor isn't concentrated enough, then … gathering the bloodline of all the royal family members here might be enough.
"I have a Dharma treasure that Laozu bestowed upon me. It can ignite the bloodline of everyone within a certain range. When the time comes, we'll definitely succeed if we combine our powers to activate it!" As the Spirit Immortal cultivator spoke, he flipped his right hand, and an unlit bronze lamp appeared in his palm. With a wave of his hand, the bronze lamp flew straight toward He Yunzi.
"He Yunzi, hold this lamp in your hand and ignite it with all your might. Once it's lit, the bloodline of all the royal family members here will be ignited!"
The moment the lamp appeared, an ancient aura emanated from it. It was as if one could see the passage of time just by looking at it. At that moment, it rapidly approached He Yunzi. After He Yunzi grabbed it, his body trembled, and all the blood in his body erupted. It flowed from his palm to the bronze lamp, and he couldn't control his cultivation. It was instantly ignited.
The illusory image of the Divine Eye appeared behind him, and it was also absorbed by the bronze lamp. After absorbing all of this, the wick of the bronze lamp suddenly emitted sparks. In the blink of an eye, it became brighter and brighter, and it burst into flames. With a loud bang, it was completely ignited!
The instant it was lit, the light from the wick spread out in all directions. Once it covered the entire area, the faces of all the royal family members flickered. Their bodies trembled, and the mark of an eye appeared on their foreheads. Their blood and cultivation bases seemed to be attracted to it as they surged out from the top of their heads.
The first to bear the brunt of the attack was He Yunzi. In the blink of an eye, a red glow exploded out from the top of his head. It was more than fifteen meters tall, and was shocking to behold. The same thing happened to the other two violet-robed old men next to him. However, the red glow was slightly lower, only about forty meters tall.
Even so, it was still extraordinary. As for the other royal family members, they trembled. Red glows also rose up, but they were uneven. Some glows were nine meters tall, and some were only a few inches tall. As for Wang Baole, his face flickered. The Demonic Eye Incantation inside of him began to circulate on its own, and the will that he had been suppressing inside of it suddenly exploded out, as if it wanted to charge out.
"Crap!" Wang Baole's expression turned cold.
At the same time, as Wang Baole continued his suppression, the red glow appeared to be of different heights. They gathered together and seemed to be about to reach the heavens. The tallest one … was the old emperor, who was still crying. The red glow above his head was more than three hundred feet tall, and it attracted everyone's attention.
When He Yunzi saw that it was working so well, he laughed heartily. Then, he looked at the Emperor and spoke.
"Now, we can …." Before he could finish speaking, the sky suddenly changed. The wind screamed, and rumbling sounds filled the air. At the same time, an indescribable crimson light rose up from the group of royal family members. It spread out in all directions, blotting out the sky and covering the land!!
He Yunzi wasn't the only one who stared in shock. The two violet-robed old men next to him, the Emperor, all of the royal family members, and even the cultivators from the Violet Gold civilization stared in shock. They all turned to look at Wang Baole … and saw a shocking red glow rising up from the top of Wang Baole's head!!
Its height … could no longer be described as mere meters. The light … rose up tens of thousands of meters, connecting with the sky …. It was impossible to tell exactly how high it was.
"What the hell …?" He Yunzi murmured, his eyes wide and his mind spinning.
