Above the floating islands.
The huge cloud vortex obscured everyone's vision.
They did not dare to approach the vortex, so they quietly floated around it.
Looking up, the densely packed figures were like a swarm of locusts, almost covering half the sky.
Just like the audience in the Colosseum in Rome, these descendants of ancient cultivators did not dare to make any noise, but there was still an inexplicable fanaticism in their eyes.
Everyone wanted to witness the fall of a Heavenly Venerable with their own eyes.
But no one expected that in addition to witnessing the fall of a Heavenly Venerable, they would also be fortunate enough to witness the birth of an ancient legend …
With the arrival of the three Heavenly Venerables, Yu Huan, Miaofa, and Xuan Zhen, a gap was torn in the cloud vortex that covered the sky.
The three Heavenly Venerables were like three sharp arrows with tri-colored divine flames on them as they shot straight at the enemy in the depths of the vortex.
For a moment, the golden Myriad Spirit Ancient Yi, the purple Sky-incinerating Purple Flame, and the grayish-green Netherworld Ghost Flame all bloomed with their own unique brilliance.
The three flames intertwined and rose, burning fiercely, almost instantly burning away a large portion of the cloud vortex. At the same time, it also cleared the vision of the spectators.
And it was precisely because of this clear vision that everyone witnessed what happened next with their own eyes …
After the green sword light and the tri-colored divine flame collided in the air, it was like a sharp sword piercing through a glass window. It strangely felt like a mirror shattering in the void.
Boom!
Following a huge explosion, a formless shockwave spread out.
Wherever the shockwave went, spiritual energy surged and wreaked havoc.
The spectators closer to the center of the battlefield felt as if their chests had been hit by a battering ram. They were actually sent flying by this invisible force just like that!
"All of you, back off!"
"Back off at least five kilometers!"
"Divine Generals of Five Directions, listen up! No one is allowed to come near this place!"
Fortunately, there were not only three Heavenly Venerables present today.
The seven Heavenly Venerables, including Yu Jiang, Taihua, and Ying Hua, who had arrived later, saw the intensity of the battle and simultaneously pulled up a protective barrier around the periphery, saving many people in time.
Although it was only the first move, the intensity of this battle was far greater than the battle on Dragon Head Peak.
Feeling the powerful True Essence fluctuations, the seven Celestial Venerables' faces suddenly flashed with a trace of surprise.
It was no wonder that Yu Huan would put on such a solemn expression.
If it was a one-on-one battle, it was likely that none of the ten Empyreans present were his match!
In a battle between experts, one move was enough to determine the truth.
The seven Celestial Venerables merely watched the battle from afar and did not personally step forward to fight with Chen Xi, so their feelings were naturally not as vivid as those of the three Celestial Venerables present.
Chen Xi's seemingly casual slash …
Other than forcing the Heaven, Earth, and Man Lanterns to retreat, he had also directly injured the three Celestial Venerables who were related to the lives of the three lanterns.
How could Yuhuan Tianzun not be shocked?!
It wasn't like he hadn't fought with Chen Xi before.
When he fought Chen Xi, who was at the peak of the Soul Formation Stage, he didn't have the upper hand, but it wasn't as if he had no chance of winning.
But now …
Chen Xi was fighting against three Celestial Venerables alone, but he could still easily injure them?!
How was this possible?!
At this moment, not only was Yuhuan Tianzun shocked, but even the two Celestial Venerables, Miao Fa and Xuan Zhen, were filled with shock and uncertainty.
The three of them hesitated, and the scene temporarily returned to its original calm.
Seeing this, Chen Xi wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he slowly flew up until he was at the same height as the three Celestial Venerables. Only then did he speak loudly to everyone present. "This humble one is Chen Xi. I've already met all of you before, so I don't think I need to introduce myself too much, right?
"Actually, I've always wanted to sit down and talk with all of you, but you didn't even give me a chance to speak …
"I originally had no intention of making an enemy out of Tiandu. I just wanted to borrow the Sky Bearing Impersonation Technique and use the Floating Dawn Mirror …
"If all of you are reasonable, you should understand that you shouldn't make an enemy out of me for no reason …"
At this point, Chen Xi suddenly paused. Then, he looked at Yuhuan Tianzun and said calmly, "Also, I want to clarify that …
"I didn't kill Wuxu."
After hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed across Yuhuan Tianzun's face.
He frowned and seemed to want to say something, but then he heard Chen Xi continue. "So what I want to say now is …
"If all of you are willing to talk, then I can give all of you another chance. Let's turn weapons of war into gifts of jade and silk, so as to avoid increasing the sin of killing …
"If not …"
"Everyone, please don't blame my sword for being merciless."
Although Chen Xi wasn't an unforgiving evil person, he wasn't a good person with a gentle temperament either.
If the mysterious woman hadn't saved him, he would have died with hatred in his heart.
Therefore, although his words seemed reasonable, in reality, he didn't leave any face for the ten Celestial Venerables.
This was deliberately embarrassing for Tiandu.
Of course, if the other party honestly lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes, Chen Xi could indeed consider letting them live.
But …
With the lofty status of the ten Celestial Venerables, how could they easily lower their heads to others?
What?
Don't we, the ten Celestial Venerables, need face?
If they really agreed to Chen Xi's request today, then how would the ten of them face the generals of Tiandu in the future? How would they continue to rule the outside world with the face?
From the beginning, Chen Xi had already calculated the thoughts of the ten Celestial Venerables.
The reason why he wasted his breath was actually just to give himself a good reason to make a move so that he could be more decisive when he took action later.
Speaking of which, Chen Xi was really a little mischievous …
As expected.
It would have been better if he hadn't said those words.
After saying that, the ten Celestial Venerables' expressions changed greatly.
Among them, Celestial Venerable Sunblaze, who had the most fiery temper, was so angry that he directly summoned his natal magic treasure — Heaven Splitting Axe.
After that, Celestial Venerable Sunblaze ignored Celestial Venerable Yu Jiang's obstruction and rushed toward Chen Xi with his giant axe.
"Little thief, don't be so arrogant!"
"Yu Huan, you guys watch on the sidelines for now. Let me deal with him alone!"
Yu Huan, Miaofa, and Xuan Zhen couldn't gain any advantage over Chen Xi, but Celestial Venerable Sunblaze didn't believe it. He raised his giant axe and fiercely chopped at Chen Xi.
Axes were different from swords. They were designed to be heavy and powerful, and must kill in one hit.
Therefore, as Celestial Venerable Sunblaze chopped down with his axe, a strong wind immediately blew in the air.
In terms of power, it was even more ferocious than the Three Lanterns of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
This kind of fighting style that only focused on killing and disregarded defense was actually very rare among immortal cultivators.
Celestial Venerable Sunblaze relied on the indomitable fierceness in his bones to fight for the position of Celestial Venerable.
Therefore, even if his cultivation wasn't at the top of the ten Celestial Venerables, not many people dared to casually fight with him.
He was a living brute.
But today, this brute met an opponent who was even more reckless than him …
"Come on!"
Seeing that the giant axe was about to arrive, Chen Xi's face suddenly flashed with a trace of excitement.
He made a grabbing motion with his left hand, and a saber-like materialization weapon condensed in his hand.
Then, Chen Xi held the saber in his hand and directly faced the giant axe!
Using strength to overcome strength!
Using force to meet force!
He wanted to take this opportunity to gauge the absolute power that he now possessed ….
