Before his words echoed in the air, a dark cloud separated itself from the mass of dark clouds like a nimble snake, forming a black bolt of lightning that came before Yun Xiaoyao with a swoosh, its aura terrifying to behold.
Moreover, wherever the black cloud passed, the space would be filled with smoke. This meant that the speed at which the black cloud moved had reached a horrifying level!
Yun Xiaoyao was fearless. He had been prepared for a long time; his sword, which had accumulated to its peak, was unsheathed at once and parried with his sword.
Boom!
The thin wisp of dark cloud collided with the blade of Yun Xiaoyao's sword with an extremely ferocious force, producing a deafening sound that sounded like a landslide. Yun Xiaoyao could only feel himself being pushed by an unstoppable force; his feet left the ground at once and he was flung away like a kite with a broken string.
He crashed into the palace wall hundreds of feet behind him with a loud boom.
With a low grunt, blood spilled from his mouth. Looking down at the sword in his hand, his beloved sword that he had carried with him for so many years was already covered in cracks that resembled a spider's web. The center of the sword was dented and the blade was almost pierced through, broken in half from the attack.
Yun Xiaoyao could not help sucking in a sharp breath when he saw the situation. It was only a small part of the mass of dark clouds, but it was so powerful!
If the dark cloud had really come crashing down, would it not be able to crush the entire Yutang Imperial City?
Everyone's faces turned pale with fright as they watched!
Yun Xiaoyao's current cultivation base was at the eighth level of the heaven realm. He could be said to be the unrivaled expert in the Empire of Yutang!
Even if one were to look at all the countries in the world, there might not be anyone who could compare to him.
After all, cultivators who had reached this level had long distanced themselves from the turmoil of the imperial court, pursuing personal improvement and taking care of themselves.
Yet, such a strong cultivator could not even defend against the attack of such a small dark cloud. The disparity between the two was imaginable.
Furthermore, how high was the cultivation base of the person hiding in the dark cloud?
However, the danger was apparent. No matter how profound the person's ability was, death was the most that awaited them. Although they were shocked, they did not feel much fear.
Unexpectedly, after the black cloud succeeded in its attack, it quickly rose up and drifted towards a certain place outside, not staying for a moment.
An eerie voice came from within the black clouds. "You actually survived my attack. Fine, I'll punish you a little … If you offend me again in the future, I'll behead you without mercy!"
Black clouds spread out.
Everyone looked over and were shocked to see that on the other side of the black clouds, there was a clearly visible tentacle extending out. As if it had sensed something, it was speeding towards a certain direction.
Only when the entire mass of black clouds had left the sky above the palace did His Majesty and the others finally breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt relaxed, but at the same time, he felt strange.
What was going on? They came in such a grand manner, but left in an instant.
He did not offend anyone present.
His Majesty was also dumbfounded. He had thought that the black cloud had some ulterior motive and had come to find him, but … it was not!
If you're not looking for me, what are you doing here?
This is the Imperial Palace, and you dare to say that you have found the wrong place?
How could such a peerless villain, with such earth-shattering abilities, find the wrong place and target?
This matter was indeed inexplicable.
"Xiaoyao, how is it?"
It was only now that His Majesty had the time to turn and ask.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. It's not a big deal." Yun Xiaoyao propped himself up with force, his eyes still filled with shock. "The one hiding in the black clouds is a cultivator. Although the power he wields the black clouds is unfathomable, it's still a mystical Qi!"
"Mystical Qi?"
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard the betrayal.
This heavenly phenomenon that was like a miracle and seemed like a calamity that could annihilate the world was completely caused by one's cultivation in profound energy. Not only was it terrifying, it was directly unimaginable and inconceivable, and just imagining it caused one's soul to be shaken and awed!
In that case, what was this person's level?
"It's still the same old saying – there's always someone better than you out there." Yun Xiaoyao sighed. "The universe is indeed boundless, the heaven and earth are boundless. I can't believe there's still such a powerful cultivator in this world! I believe that this person's cultivation base isn't any weaker than the legendary Ling Xiaozui or Dugu Chou. He's much, much stronger than me. "
It was then that Leng Daoyin, who had been paying attention to the black clouds, suddenly frowned and said, "The direction the clouds are moving towards … why does it look like they're heading towards the Residence of Nine Supremes?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard him, lifting their heads in unison to watch the black clouds' movement.
Indeed, after leaving the imperial city, the enormous dark cloud sped towards the Residence of Nine Supremes with a thick tail, like a giant lizard with all its heads and legs. It was moving at an unusually fast speed.
"What … is he going to the Residence of Nine Supremes for?"
His Majesty mumbled to himself with a frown.
Leng Daoyin said with a smile, "This fellow's cultivation base may be so strong that it's astounding, but ultimately, it's still a power that belongs to the human realm. The power contained within the Residence of Nine Supremes is the power of heaven and earth, the power of nature. It's fine if he doesn't attack the Residence of Nine Supremes, but if he does, he'll only be committing suicide … He can't leave after coming! "
Everyone thought about it and agreed that it was reasonable.
For so many years, those who dared to invade the Residence of Nine Supremes had all perished without exception. It was also because of this that everyone's confidence in the Residence of Nine Supremes was unshakable. They were even more certain that there was nothing in this world that could destroy the Residence of Nine Supremes!
Therefore, even though they knew that the mysterious person's ability was unfathomable, exceeding everyone's understanding of a mystical cultivator's power, and that he harbored malicious intentions towards the Residence of Nine Supremes, they were not too worried.
"If that fellow were to be struck to death by the Residence of Nine Supremes' lightning, that would be the best outcome! Just like Dayuan's legend, Liang Yunqi! "Leng Daoyin's tone was filled with schadenfreude.
Everyone chuckled in unison, expressing their optimism towards this judgment.
Only Yun Xiaoyao felt a chill in his heart. As he had said, the universe was boundless and the heaven and earth were boundless. The power of the cultivators in this world was truly incalculable. What did Dayuan's legend Liang Yunqi amount to now? He was merely a peak realm cultivator who had yet to truly come into contact with the heaven realm. Based on the Qi that he sensed during the exchange just now, Yun Xiaoyao dared to say that the mysterious cultivator hidden in the dark clouds could kill Liang Yunqi with a wave of his hand and a breath of air. Whether the Residence of Nine Supremes could really handle this person and survive this battle was not something to be optimistic about!
…
The man in black rode the dark clouds and activated the Providence Flag once more, speeding towards the Residence of Nine Supremes according to the flag's guidance.
According to the Providence Flag's reaction, the source of all the changes before them was within the Residence of Nine Supremes.
Now, his heart was filled with the joy of finding his goal, and he was incomparably elated!
It was precisely because of this that all of them unconsciously gathered all their cultivations, and they were just waiting to find that person and kill him with a single strike!
As long as he was locked onto by the Providence Flag, the other party would never be able to escape his killing blow!
Yun Xiaoyao was known as Yutang's publicly acknowledged Unrivaled Expert, but he could not even withstand a single blow. The rest of them were even more mediocre and could be destroyed with a wave of his hand!
"Hmph, the entire sect is helpless, but when it comes to me, it's as easy as lifting a finger. This battle will showcase my skills and spread my name!" Amidst his glee, he could not help but think of the two opposing factions in the sect and was even more delighted.
As long as this attack was successful, his faction would definitely gain the upper hand. That was the only outcome that needed no explanation!
As for finding someone to help him … Hehe, with his unrivaled cultivation, why would he need anyone's help?
That would be the biggest joke in the world!
However, there were many doubts in his heart as well. "Since the source is here, why did the providence lead to the palace earlier? What's the reason? Isn't this a wasted trip? "
"Could it be that there are times when the Cosmos Luck Flags make mistakes? But this shouldn't be the case … "
Now that the target was here, he could not care less about this doubt.
