Several tens of thousand kilometers away from Mercenary City, Changyang Zu Yunkong and Huang Tianba had carved out a cave on a mountain peak. They currently sat in their respective caves and cultivated.
They did not pay too much attention to what had happened in Mercenary City. Back then, several hundred Holy Emperor experts had gathered in Mercenary City. There was even a great elder, Tian Jian, who had become a Holy Emperor. If even these supreme experts could not deal with the situation, the two of them would not be able to do anything as mere Saint Rulers.
The two of them had obtained Xiao Ling's assistance in the depths of Mercenary City, allowing their strength to increase rapidly. They could be described as advancing at a tremendous pace, even though they were still Saint Rulers.
Even though they were still Saint Rulers, they were both at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, only a step away from becoming a Holy Emperor.
There was an extremely large gap between Saint Rulers and Holy Emperors. The two of them had already secretly made up their minds to charge through that tough barrier in a single stroke and become a Holy Emperor.
Changyang Zu Yunkong's talent was much greater than Huang Tianba's. In the past, he could only remain a Heaven Saint Master because of the seal in his head, unable to reach Sainthood. Now that the seal had been removed and with Xiao Ling's assistance, his strength increased at an astounding rate. He had already caught up to Huang Tianba, and with the talent he had displayed, it was even possible for him to break through before Huang Tianba.
Other than the two of them, even the loyal guard that Jianchen had brought from the Radiant Saint Master Union, Yang Ling, was cultivating in the mountains. He was over a thousand kilometers away from the two of them. Yang Ling's talent was much more mediocre compared to the two of them. When Jianchen had brought him out of the Radiant Saint Master Union, Yang Ling was already a Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Master and had remained at that level for many years. However, after cultivating in Mercenary City for a period of time, he was still a Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Master.
The difference between a Heaven Saint Master and a Saint Ruler was as great as a chasm because it was a difference of an entire realm. Becoming a Saint Ruler required a corresponding amount of talent and comprehension. It was not something that could be achieved through arduous cultivation.
After emerging from the underground space of Mercenary City, Ming Dong did not stay with Huang Tianba and Changyang Zu Yunkong. Instead, he returned to Flame City alone and checked on the current situation of the city. At the same time, he learned that Jianchen was in the sea realm.
Afterwards, Ming Dong remained in Flame City. He continued to cultivate in a secret room deep beneath the city. At the same time, Bi Hai and Bi Lian gave a batch of high class monster cores to Ming Dong. A portion of them had been left behind by Jianchen while a portion had been left behind by the Holy Emperor who had died to the Temporal Formation not long ago.
Changyang Qing Yun and the other great elders stood side by side in the sealed miniature world of the protector clan, Changyang Prefecture. They hovered in the air as they silently stared in the direction of the World Gate. Their eyes were filled with anger and resentment as well as some helplessness.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a heavy sound rang out from the direction of the World Gate. Ripples appeared in the space near the World Gate, causing the energy of the world in the surroundings to churn. All the Saint Rulers sealed in the Changyang clan were alarmed by this.
The sudden change in the World Gate immediately attracted the attention of the five great elders. Their eyes immediately lit up as they stared in the direction of the World Gate in interest.
"Bang!"
A second muffled sound came from the direction of the realm gate. This time, not only was the sound much louder than before, even the ripples in the space around the realm gate had become even more ferocious. Powerful energy shockwaves revolved around the realm gate and shook it.
Many Saint Rulers flew over from various places and gathered behind the five great elders. They were all gloomy and miserable. One of the Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers politely asked, "Great elders, what has happened?"
The five great elders all remained silent. They stared in the direction of the World Gate sternly. Only when the third sound rang out did their expressions finally change. They all became extremely excited.
"Someone is attacking the seal from outside. Fantastic, someone has finally discovered that Changyang Prefecture has been sealed. They're currently destroying the seal from outside," Changyang Qing Jueri immediately cried out. Changyang and Qing Jueri immediately cried out in joy. During the time that they had been trapped, they had tried countless methods to contact the people outside, but all of them had ended in failure. This was because the seal that blocked the World Gate was extremely powerful and profound. It could cut off all methods of communication. Even if they used ancient secret techniques, they could not pass through the seal and send a message out.
Changyang Qing Yun, Changyang Qing Yunfeng, Changyang Yuan Wuji, and Changyang Yuan Zhenghua were overjoyed as well. They had been waiting for this day for far too long. Although being sealed up here did not pose any threat to their lives, none of them wished to be locked up in a prison by someone else.
"Let's move immediately and attack the seal from the inside. We can work with the people outside so it'll be easier to destroy the seal," Changyang Qing Yun immediately called out.
The four other great elders nodded at the same time. They all began to attack the seal as hard as they could. Immediately, a tremendous pressure crushed down from the surroundings, permeating the entire miniature world of Changyang Prefecture. It seemed to have frozen the air and caused the energy of the world to become still.
The five Holy Emperor experts were extremely eager to destroy the seal, so they used powerful Saint Tier Battle Skills right from the start.
With their strength as Saint Kings, using Saint Tier Battle Skills was a piece of cake. They finished charging up in a single moment and an extremely powerful sword Qi erupted from the sword in Changyang Qing Yun's hand. He swung a hundred-meter-long sword Qi toward the seal of the World Gate.
Changyang Qing Jueri did not use a Saint Weapon. He directly struck out with his palm and the surging energy transformed into a hand several dozen meters wide, striking the World Gate with lightning-like speed.
Extremely powerful wind-attributed Saint Force permeated Changyang Qing Yunfeng's surroundings before turning into a gust of wind that enveloped him. The gust of wind rapidly revolved, reaching into the sky and connecting to the very top of the miniature world. It stirred up the energy of the world in the miniature world from its initial stillness into a frenzy. Afterward, Changyang Qing Yunfeng swung his arms and the gust of wind around him immediately shot toward the World Gate, causing the surrounding space to violently distort.
A three-meter-wide fireball hovered above Changyang Yuan Wuji's head. It shone like the sun as a terrifying heat permeated the miniature world, causing the temperature there to rapidly rise. With a wave of his hand, the huge fireball immediately turned into a red streak of light and shot toward the World Gate with lightning-like speed.
Changyang Yuan Zhenghua also shot out a powerful strand of sword Qi toward the World Gate. Wherever the sword Qi passed, the space there would ripple.
The Saint Tier Battle Skills used by five Holy Emperor experts at the same time were so great that they were enough to destroy the world. Even the miniature world that was much tougher than the outside world found it rather difficult to endure. The figures of the eighteen divine halls appeared in the sky, stabilizing the space there.
Outside the World Gate of Changyang Prefecture, over twenty Holy Emperor experts sternly hovered in the air with the grand elder in the lead. All of them cast their gazes toward the invisible seal in front of them.
"The three magical beasts really are capable. The seal they cast down is actually so powerful. We've already attacked it three times, but it still hasn't broken through," the grand elder could not help but sigh in amazement. He was filled with admiration for Ruijin, Hei Yu, and Hei Yu. Afterward, he glanced past the Holy Emperor experts in the surroundings and loudly said, "Everyone, the seal is far more powerful than we expected. Let's use our full strength and break through the seal together."
"Alright, let's all get ready. We'll attack at the same time under the grand elder's command," a Holy Emperor expert from a protector clan loudly replied. The great elder of Mercenary City, Tian Jian, had already become a Holy Emperor. At the same time, he had the protection of the barrier spirit, which had surpassed the Holy Emperor and reached Returnance. Even the protector clans of the Tian Yuan Continent could not compare to him in terms of strength. As a result, Mercenary City had vaguely become the leader of the continent, the undisputed representative of the protector clans.
The five Saint Tier Battle Skills used by Changyang Qing Yun and the others basically struck the seal at the same time in the miniature world. The seal immediately began to violently tremble, but their combined Battle Skills were still unable to break through the seal.
At this moment, the experts outside the World Gate also unleashed a powerful attack. The attack was clearly much more powerful than the five Saint Tier Battle Skills. After enduring such a powerful attack, the seal cast down by Ruijin finally collapsed and collapsed. Changyang Prefecture, which had been sealed up for several months, could finally see the light of day again.
Changyang Qing Yun and the others did not wait for the chaotic streams of energy to calm down as soon as the seal was broken. They eagerly charged out. As soon as they arrived outside, they discovered over twenty Holy Emperor experts hovering in the air.
Changyang Qing Yun and the others obviously knew that it was all thanks to the assistance of the Holy Emperor experts that they were able to escape. Without any hesitation, the five of them immediately clasped their hands in gratitude.
The grand elder of Mercenary City raised his hand and said, "The ten protector clans were originally one family with our Mercenary City. We all silently protect the continent. It was nothing, so there's no need to thank us."
