(PS: This is very late. My apologies.
He had been busy for the whole day and only came back at midnight.
From 12 o 'clock until now, he had finally finished a chapter.
His eyes were a little blurry, and he couldn't see the screen clearly. Thus, he left the second chapter for tomorrow. It would go together with tomorrow's update.
The updates have been unstable recently, so please forgive me.)
High up in the sky, the Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu and the Eastern Exalt Daoist Oneheaven were in a standoff.
Off to the side, the Northwestern Exalt Lian Zulin and the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen stood side by side, gazing down at Broad Creed Mountain that towered over the sea of the Spirit Inheritance Region.
On the surface of the sea, the Western Exalt Lang Qing suddenly arrived, his gaze meeting with the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie who was atop Broad Creed Mountain's Heaven Rising Peak.
Let alone the Spirit Inheritance Region where Broad Creed Mountain was located, the entire Royal Reed Sea seemed to have frozen at this moment as the pressure emanated by the six Human Exalts seemed to have solidified.
The surface of the sea was as calm as a mirror.
The normal ebb and flow of the tide was now completely still. It was as if the sea had turned into land.
A powerful aura shook space as a projection was formed in the air above the Royal Reed Sea.
At this moment, most martial practitioners of the entire southeastern Yang Heaven Territory and the neighbouring southern Blazing Heaven Territory were able to see the scenes in the air above the Royal Reed Sea.
Everyone stared blankly at Cao Jie, Zhuang Shen, and the others, speechless.
While they had some guesses, the fact that so many peak experts had actually gathered in this tiny Royal Reed Sea still caused all the spectators to feel shocked.
Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, Ten Supremes.
These words represented the strongest existences of the current World beyond Worlds.
This pattern had been established for more than a thousand years and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Over the years, the members of the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and Ten Supremes had changed due to various reasons.
Apart from extremely special cases, there were times when there were few emperors and supremes, but there were never times when there were too many of them.
For example, a hundred years ago, before the 'Heavenly Young Master' Chen Qianhua had ascended to the Human Exalt realm, there had been a short period of time in the World beyond Worlds when there had only been Exalts of the Nine Territories.
It was only when Chen Qianhua's talent soared to the heavens in a single step that the Ten Supremes once again lived up to his name.
Normally, most of the time, the various Supremes settled down in their respective territories, rarely going out.
Today, however, a total of six Exalts had congregated at Broad Creed Mountain in the Royal Reed Sea.
In recent years, other than when they headed to the central Jun Heaven Territory's Kunlun Mountain, this was an unprecedented grand occasion.
Still, following this would likely be a great battle rarely seen in the World beyond Worlds in recent years.
A battle between Human Immortals and Supreme Martial Saints.
Although only the Dongbei and Dongfang Supremes had completely released their auras at this moment, Cao Jie, Zhuang Shen and the other two had yet to make a move.
However, at this moment, feeling that intimidating aura, those of Broad Creed Mountain also felt their hearts trembling in fear.
Now, the Southeastern Swordsmistress and the other peak experts of the southeast who had been invited to attend the meeting were also present on the mountain. There was not just a single late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint amongst them.
However, even they didn't dare to step foot into it. Otherwise, they would definitely die.
A Supreme Martial Saint, a Human Immortal.
What was a Human Immortal?
Below immortals, above mortals. Those who had yet to become immortals were no longer mortals.
Amongst the living beings of the human world, only the tenth level of the Martial Saint realm, the Human Exalt, had a slight chance of resisting the Emperor.
To them, looking down on the other Martial Sages was like looking down on the martial artists of the mortal world by an Immortal Realm Emperor.
Besides the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie, there were only two people on the mountain now who were calm as their expressions did not change.
It was precisely Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di.
"Exalts have come from afar to participate in my Broad Creed Mountain's opening ceremony today. This Yan first thanks all of you here," While Yan Di's expression was mild, his gaze was sharp and sharp.
Meeting his gaze, Zhuang Shen, Lang Qing, Daoist Oneheaven and Lian Zulin all knit their brows slightly.
"Your son Yan Zhaoge made a trip to my southern Blazing Heaven Territory and took away many things," Zhuang Shen said coldly, "In coming here today, I might as well give your Broad Creed Mountain another great gift."
He first gazed at the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie, "Cao Jie, other than our enmity of the past, what we are after is that phoenix bone. We can only fight over who is superior."
"Still, I am not in the mood to discuss this with you today. What I want to do is only to raze Broad Creed Mountain and claim Yan Zhaoge's life."
"If you want to stop me, we will fight to the death today!"
Hearing this, Cao Jie said mildly, "Bring it on."
Zhuang Shen nodded, "Very good."
Then, he gazed at Yan Zhaoge, gazing at him for a long time before saying, "Outstanding youngster. Sadly, I must claim your life today."
"Those who kill will be killed by others. This principle applies to everyone." Yan Zhaoge smiled, "It applies to those of your Wutong Slope, it applies to me, and it applies to you as well."
Zhuang Shen said, "That's right. Everything will be decided through combat."
The Western Exalt Lang Qing now looked at the Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu, "Elder Liu, why did you have to get involved in this mess?"
"Zhuang Shen and you both have enmity with Golden Court Mountain and Broad Creed Mountain. This can be ignored." Liu Zhenggu's voice was like a great bell, "This old man has the exact opposite reason as to why Tian Yi and Northwestern Lian have come."
The Northwestern Exalt Lian Zulin who had been silent ever since she had appeared suddenly said, "Do not associate me with the two of you."
"I am not concerned about what Hu Yuexin's descendant obtained from the Dim Radiant Emperor. Still, the supreme treasure of my Red Sea lineage has fallen into their hands. I must get it back."
Lang Qing said, "It is fine. The result will be the same."
He looked at Liu Zhenggu and Cao Jie, "You were only looking out for her in secret earlier. Now, the two of you want to openly help Bright Connection Hu's descendant?"
The Bright Connection Emperor Hu Yuexin, the Grand Master of Yan Zhaoge's mother, Xue Chuqing, was an Emperor who had vanished without a trace from the historical records of the World beyond Worlds.
"You are openly going against the will of the Earthly Sovereign now," Daoist Oneheaven said slowly.
Liu Zhenggu snorted, "Don't brag. The Earthly Sovereign has never said that he wants to capture Xue Chuqing."
Lang Qing said mildly, "The Earthly Sovereign does not quibble with the younger generation. Still, some things have to be dealt with at the end of the day. We should naturally make a move. Is there a need for the Earthly Sovereign to instruct us?"
"Perhaps." Liu Zhenggu did not argue as thunderbolts rampaged about his body, "Still, there are also some things that should be done and some things that should not be done."
Zhuang Shen gazed upwards, exhaling slowly, "Living in this world, there are indeed some things that should be done and some things that should not be done."
"Some enmity must be avenged."
With that, his aura changed, blazing fire surging as a fiery phoenix flapped its wings, an all-encompassing rain of fire descending down towards Broad Creed Mountain down below!
The Northwestern Exalt Lian Zulin glanced at Daoist Oneheaven and Lang Qing, "Settle your enmity with Northeast Liu and Southeast Cao yourselves. Those related to that Xue Chuqing are mine."
The cloak that enveloped her petite figure was suddenly opened.
The endless ocean was crimson as it suffused the area, seeming even vaster than the Royal Reed Sea as it obscured the sky.
Enveloped by that crimson sea, everyone present seemed to be unable to control their own lives.
The Northwestern Exalt Lian Zulin hailed from the lineage of the Red Sea. It was rumoured that she was a personal disciple of the founder of the Jade Clear lineage, the Lord of Primordial Beginning, the dao tradition of the legendary bigwig, Master Red Essence.
She cultivated in yin and yang, wielding life and death as she was incomparably profound.
Following the Great Calamity, many vicious, fiendish methods had been birthed.
While Lian Zulin was a woman, her methods were brutal as she ranked amongst the top of the Ten Exalts.
This move of hers was even more vicious than that of the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen!
"Indeed, no Human Exalt is easy to get along with." Enveloped by the crimson sea, Yan Zhaoge felt his rather unstable soul seemingly about to leave his fleshly body as it was forcibly extracted by someone.
