The sudden appearance of the huge hand made all the Holy Emperor experts' attacks come to a halt. They all raised their heads in surprise and doubt.
The palm strike was extremely powerful. Even when compared to the most powerful vengeful spirit in the Death Nest, Gustys, it was on par with it. Most importantly, many of the Holy Emperor experts could sense the powerful ripples of the mysteries of the world from the palm strike. It was definitely not something a Holy Emperor could achieve.
"Holy Emperor. A Holy Emperor has interfered," an ancestor of the ancient clan said with a deep voice. His complexion was very ugly. They still had a sliver of hope of obtaining the Saints' Fruit when they competed against the protector clans, but once a Saint Emperor interfered, they would no longer have any hope of obtaining the Saints' Fruit.
"It's him, the path lord of carnal desires. He's interested in the Saints' Fruit as well." A Holy Emperor expert cried out as he stared at the sky in interest. A white-robed, middle-aged man had appeared in the empty space at some point in time. He hovered in the air like an ordinary person, looking down from above. His evil-looking face was sickly pale.
He was the path lord of carnal desires. Although he had appeared in an extremely low-key manner, he gave off the feeling that the world was under his control as he hovered in the air.
Honglian's expression changed within the World of Feathers. She said with a deep voice, "A human Holy Emperor has come. If he works with the Holy Emperor, my World of Feathers will last even shorter."
Ruijin remained silent. He was very stern. The space within the World of Feathers had become very unstable due to the terrifying temperature. He was currently constructing a Space Gate with all his might.
The path lord of carnal desires stared sharply at the huge fireball formed from countless phoenix feathers. He slowly raised his hand, and the energy in the surroundings immediately began to surge. Endless World Force began to gather in his hand at an unbelievable speed.
"Seven Emotions in One, Heartless Palm!" The path lord's tone was extremely calm. He immediately pressed his palm down as soon as he finished speaking.
Immediately, the vast and surging World Force in his hand surged out, turning into an invisible hand that slammed towards the World of Feathers with great might. As it did so, the energy in the surroundings was rapidly sucked over, fusing into the hand condensed from the World Force, making it even more powerful.
Not only was this palm a powerful strike from the Holy Emperor, but it also contained the path of emotions and desires of the path lord of carnal desires.
The gigantic palm struck the Universe of Feathers, but it was incapable of breaking the Universe of Feathers. The surging streams of worldly energy and worldly powers dissipated. However, an invisible wave passed through the Universe of Feathers' obstruction to enter the interior of the Universe of Feathers.
This was the path lord's Seven Emotions and Six Desires. It was not a pure energy attack. Instead, it was a unique technique specially used to attack the soul of the opponent.
Ruijin, Black Fish, and Honglian were protected by the Origin Pearls, so they naturally did not fear the path lord's attack. Black Fish hovered above Jianchen as the Origin Pearls shone with hazy light to block the descending path of emotions and desires, helping Jianchen endure the attack.
However, the space within the World of Feathers was affected as well, causing it to tremble violently. If it were any other time, the trembling space would not have affected them at all. However, Ruijin was currently constructing a Space Gate, so he feared the instability of the space the most. The Space Gate that was about to succeed immediately collapsed, causing Ruijin's efforts to go to waste.
"God dammit, that bastard. Why is he causing trouble at a time like this? Once I break through to Class 9, he'll be the first person I kill," Ruijin was furious. Killing intent surged around him as he made up his mind to kill.
The path lord's palm strike had basically cut off any thoughts of leaving.
A gleam of light immediately flashed through the path lord's eyes when he saw how his palm strike had failed to achieve the desired effect. He murmured, "It really is an origin energy treasure after all. It's still so powerful even after it's dispersed. However, maintaining this origin energy treasure must be extremely taxing on you, so let me see just how long you can last. I have to obtain the Saints' Fruit today. It's probably the only thing that can heal my injuries quickly." With that, the path lord continued to attack the World of Feathers that Honglian had created with the Ninerefined Godfire Feather. Every single strike was extremely powerful and shocking. He basically controlled all the World Force in a range of several tens of thousand kilometers all by himself. With a raise of his hand, he could use the World Force to launch extremely powerful attacks.
Under the path lord's continuous attacks, the space within the World of Feathers had become extremely chaotic. As a result, Ruijin was unable to create a Space Gate despite his great strength.
"We can't continue like this. I've used up too much energy. Ruijin, Black Fish, let's go out and carve out a path of blood. This time, we have to make them pay a bloody price," Honglian said through gritted teeth with a pale face. Cold killing intent filled her eyes.
Although the three of them had heavily injured a few human experts in the Death Nest earlier, they had shown mercy and did not kill them all. However, Honglian had become determined to kill the human experts now that they had been forced into a corner.
"Honglian, leave with Black Fish and Jianchen. I'll go meet the Holy Emperor of the humans," Ruijin said sternly. He was filled with resentment towards the path lord as well.
Honglian nodded. She looked at Black Fish and asked in concern, "Black Fish, can you hold on?"
Black Fish was clearly more poisoned than before. Not only had his face become black, but even his exposed hands had become bluish-black. Blood constantly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"This poison really is powerful. It's much more terrifying than the greatest poison in the world right now. However, I'm a Holy Emperor at Great Perfection after all. It won't be that easy to poison me to death," Black Fish said with an extremely deep voice.
。
"Senior Black Fish, once we're safe, I'll immediately use the origin energy of Radiant Saint Force to purge the poison from your body," said Jianchen.
Suddenly, the Universe of Feathers formed by the Ninerefined Godfire Feather suddenly collapsed. Countless thick feathers shrank to the length of a finger in the air, streaking through the air as streaks of red light began to gather towards Hong Lian. In the end, they reformed into a feather robe that draped over Hong Lian.
"I was right. You really can't last for much longer. You've finally been forced out by me. Hand over the Saints' Fruit and I won't make things difficult for you," the path lord's voice rang out. The path lord of carnal desires' voice rang out from the sky. He spoke extremely indifferently. Although he knew that the three of them were protected by origin energy treasures, he still acted like victory was within his grasp.
What answered him was a devastating, golden sword Qi. Rui Jin charged up from below with the Sacred Dragon's Armor and the Origin Orb above his head. He charged at the path lord aggressively with the Sacred Dragon's Sword in hand.
The path lord showed no fear at all, but there was an undetectable hint of fear in the depths of his eyes. He did not receive the golden sword Qi from Rui Jin's origin energy head-on. Instead, he used the power of the world to disperse it.
Although Ruijin possessed an origin energy treasure, he was not an Origin realm expert who had surpassed the Holy Emperor. He could only make Holy Emperors fear him, but he could not suppress the three Holy Emperor with absolute strength like Xiao Ling.
The path lord was kept busy by Ruijin. Below, Honglian and Black Fish engaged in a massacre. This time, they did not show any mercy. They used their full strength to kill anyone who stood in their way. Very soon, several weaker Holy Emperor experts died to their hands. Their souls were wiped out, and even their souls failed to escape. Over a dozen other Holy Emperor experts were heavily injured. They were either saved by their companions at a crucial moment or used secret techniques to flee.
The five old men of Mercenary City looked at each other and a sliver of determination appeared in their eyes. One of them said, "Whatever, the five of us don't want the Saints' Fruit anymore. We're about to die anyway, so why don't we use our last sliver of energy to use a secret technique again and leave the Saints' Fruit for the talented people of Mercenary City?"
