The divine bridge made of golden light pierced through the entire forbidden zone.
The Great Dao Heavenly Voice spread to every corner.
In the forbidden zone, the fiery red sky turned into a dazzling rainbow at this moment. Streaks of auspicious qi transformed into the shape of dragons and shuttled through the sky.
In the Divine Phoenix Mountain forbidden zone world, the 13 major branches were all alarmed.
In those branches, old monsters that were in deep slumber woke up and manifested their dharma idols. They were even larger than planets and looked over.
But then, all the dharma idols instantly retracted.
In an instant, the hundreds of suffocating auras in the forbidden zone disappeared without a trace just like that.
The entire forbidden zone, the outer zone, and the central zone were silent.
"Who dares to barge into my forbidden zone?"
In the deepest part of the forbidden zone, in the mountain range that towered into the starry sky, a pair of golden-red eyes appeared. They were like two blazing suns.
"Fellow cultivator, you've crossed the line!"
Another pair of eyes that were as bright as the sun appeared.
"Who exactly are you?"
A third pair of terrifying eyes appeared.
Suddenly, it was as if six suns had appeared at the end of the sky.
At the same time, a terrifying aura swept over.
It was a sea of crimson flame Dao patterns that burned the sky and caused space-time to tremble.
Those Dao patterns evolved into crimson phoenixes that let out a long cry that tore through the universe. They charged toward Tian Jianyi and stopped him from moving forward.
"Do you want to fight?" Tian Jianyi waved his sleeve, and sword Qi swept out, tearing the scarlet phoenix to pieces in the starry sky. He strode into the depths of the starry sky and said, "Sublimate yourselves to the extreme. Show me the strongest form you've ever shown in your lives, and you might be able to walk the path of a thousand lilies in my hands. “
"Arrogant! How many people in this world dare to say such arrogant words in front of us?! "
The three existences in the depths of the forbidden zone were clearly angered by Tian Jianyi's words.
Suddenly, rolling crimson flames surged into the sky and covered the endless starry sky, turning half of the forbidden zone universe into a sea of fire.
Clang!
A sword formation diagram and four ancient swords rushed out of Tian Jianyi's body.
The formation diagram covered the sky, and the four ancient swords shuttled back and forth inside, showing the horrifying scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The Immortal Slaying Sword Intent almost tore the forbidden zone universe apart, causing a huge universe crack to appear in the sky and continue to spread.
At this moment, in the entire forbidden zone, everyone below the Great Emperor level, including the living beings of the Divine Phoenix Clan, prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling. Fear grew in their hearts, and sweat poured down like rain.
"Back then, you weren't his match, and you still aren't his match today."
Tian Jianyi's words were very calm, but they were filled with unparalleled confidence, domineering and overbearing.
The formation diagram floated up and down, the four swords hummed, and the light of the Immortal Slaying Sword shocked the world.
In the depths of the forbidden zone, the sun-like pupils of the three existences constricted violently, and then their auras instantly became extremely violent!
"It's you!"
"How could it be you?!"
"Immortal Slaying Sword Master!"
"That's not right. He fell nine eras ago, and all those years ago, he perished together with the five great imperial lords under Darkness' command!"
"You bastard! I can't believe you didn't die! You preserved your Dao Fruit and lived a second life!"
"Perfect. We haven't settled the score with you for what happened back then. Today, we'll skin you alive!"
Three divine phoenixes rushed into the sky, their enormous bodies covering the entire star field. Their auras were violent, as if they had seen their mortal enemies. Their killing intent rushed into the heavens!
"It seems like I didn't go easy on you back then, and I didn't manage to take care of you. Fine, I'll teach you a lesson today, but I'll know my limits. After all, you're Huang 'er's biological younger brothers. "
"Shut up! What right do you have to mention Royal Sister's name, you bastard!"
When the three of them heard him mention Huang 'er's name, they became even more violent. Terrifying Emperor-level flames incinerated that part of the universe until it constantly collapsed.
Their bodies turned into three youths wearing scarlet flame armor amidst the torrential flames. They wielded Emperor-level battle sabers, and with a single step, they crossed endless light years. The three battle sabers were raised high, and the scarlet flame saber light slashed out through billions of light years, instantly arriving in front of Tian Jianyi.
Tian Jianyi was about to activate the Immortal Slaying Sword Array when a dazzling scarlet flame rain flew out from the depths of the forbidden zone, instantly arriving in front of him.
The rain of light condensed into divine phoenix feathers, and like a shield, it blocked the three saber lights.
The remaining rain of light condensed into a beautiful woman wearing a divine phoenix feather robe.
She slowly turned around, and a pair of eyes burning with golden flames stared at Tian Jianyi.
Tian Jianyi's body trembled, and his lips trembled slightly. The face in front of him was somewhat unfamiliar.
It had been a long era, too long, so long that he had almost forgotten what she looked like.
"Jianyi?"
The woman's voice was slightly trembling, and she even choked with sobs.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and they rolled down like golden flames.
"It's me." Tian Jianyi's voice was a little hoarse, and he choked with sobs. "Huang 'er, are you alright?"
"Not good! A woman who was abandoned by her husband, raising her daughter alone, will she be alright? "
Her voice was filled with resentment, and the flames in her eyes gradually receded. Her gaze was bitter and sorrowful.
Tian Jianyi opened his mouth and said, "I've let you down, I've let our daughter down …"
"I don't want to hear your apologies. I just want you to come back and accompany us forever!"
"Huang 'er, you know that's impossible. Before the darkness is quelled, how can there be forever …" Tian Jianyi walked forward and lowered his head to look at her. He said, "In this life, we're fighting for a glimmer of hope. If we succeed, I'll promise you forever, okay?" “
We can't win. Back then, the hundred races were at their peak, and every race had a Great Immortal Emperor, and even a Supreme Immortal Emperor! Even when they worked together, they were almost completely wiped out. The strongest hundred races from back then, the ones that survived today are in the four great origin universes' forbidden zones, struggling at death's door. After ten thousand years, I'm afraid some of the forbidden zones have already submitted to the will of darkness. Compared to back then, in this life, we're far from comparable … "
Tian Jianyi said, "There will be hope. You must have confidence!"
"Where does confidence come from?" The woman shook her head and sighed. "Jianyi, back then, that existence was unparalleled and invincible. He alone suppressed the nine heavens and cut off the strongest arm of the dark hand! He created a new cultivation system, abandoned the Immortal Dao that had been tainted by darkness, and allowed the cultivation path to reach new heights, stunning the ages …
"However, such an existence went deep into the Dark Ancestor's Land, intending to quell the darkness, but in the end, he was still defeated. Even his only daughter was severely injured by her opponent and exiled into the River of Time and Space, unable to find her way back …"
"Royal Sister, what do you have to say to such a heartless person? Today, we'll work together to suppress him and help you vent your anger!"
The three youths came to the scene and glared at Tian Jianyi.
"They're your brothers-in-law. Don't be rude! He didn't do anything wrong back then. Otherwise, our Divine Phoenix race wouldn't have been able to escape that disaster … "
"Royal Sister, don't be fooled by him. If you can't bear to do it, we'll do it!"
The three youths did not have the demeanor of a Great Emperor at all. They looked like hotheads who were protecting their sister.
"Enough. I'm the leader of the Divine Phoenix race. Are you going to disobey me?"
The woman glared at them coldly. The three of them immediately shut their mouths unwillingly, but their eyes looked as if they wanted to eat someone.
Tian Jianyi couldn't help but smile. These three brothers had known him a long time ago when they were still little cultivators. Originally, they had a good relationship with him, but because he was in love with Huang 'er, they didn't like him at all.
There were many misunderstandings, which made them feel that he had let Huang 'er down time and time again.
Even after they had become Great Emperors, their attitudes toward him had not changed.
Time passed, and nine eras had passed.
These tens of millions of years were extremely long. It could erase many things, but it could not erase their prejudice against him.
Tian Jianyi followed the Phoenix Lord to the deepest part of the forbidden area.
This place was located in a vast mountain range, and there was an endless sycamore forest. There was an exquisite small courtyard with a few houses built.
"Have you been staying here all these years?"
Tian Jianyi looked at the simple courtyard. Every blade of grass and tree here was tainted with her aura.
"I've been sleeping here. If your Immortal Extermination Sword Intent hadn't woken me up today, I'm afraid I would have continued sleeping."
The Phoenix Lord took out a tea set and brewed tea very seriously.
"Were you seriously injured back then?"
Tian Jianyi noticed that there seemed to be some problems with her origin.
"Being able to survive and reunite with you in this life, nothing else is important." She did not seem to care much about her injuries. "Moreover, I've almost recovered. After some time, my damaged origin will be restored to its perfect state."
Tian Jianyi walked to her side and sat down. He reached out and hugged her. His voice trembled as he said, "It's my fault. I made a promise to you back then, but you had to endure so many years of loneliness. Is our daughter Lingxi doing well? “
"Xi 'er is sleeping in my inner world. I sealed her back then. You know that the heavens are shattered, and it's difficult to become an Great Emperor. If I didn't seal her, with her cultivation, it would be difficult for her to survive these long years without becoming an Great Emperor. "
Runes appeared in Tian Jianyi's eyes. He saw a divine crystal in the Phoenix Lord's inner world. A young girl in a five-colored dress was sealed inside.
She was very beautiful. Her facial features were somewhat similar to her mother's, and also somewhat similar to his.
She lay quietly inside, unaware of the passage of time in the outside world.
"Back then, when I left you two, Lingxi was only three years old. Now, she's already a big girl. I'm not a good father …"
Tian Jianyi raised his head slightly. He felt terrible. He owed the mother and daughter too much.
"Jianyi, this is not your fault. Back then, you left to protect us. I know that. So, during these years, other than missing you, I've never blamed you. I've never regretted marrying you … "The Phoenix Lord looked at him gently and said," Can you tell me what happened? I always thought that you had died back then, but I still had hope in my heart. I felt that one day, you would come back to see us mother and daughter … "
"Actually, I didn't understand what happened back then. Before the final battle, I left behind a backup plan. I preserved a trace of my True Soul and Dao Fruit. If I died in battle, I would reincarnate and cultivate again in a second life. However, I didn't expect that I would preserve my Dao Fruit perfectly … "
"When I returned in this life, I originally didn't awaken my memories. That was until the sword embryo that followed me into battle. The power of darkness that was sealed within it back then wasn't completely erased. It infected me and borrowed the power of my Dao Fruit to grow crazily. My Dao Fruit allowed me to recover some fragments of my memories in order to protect myself. "
"At that time, I remembered that there was a Burial Race technique that buried me. Later, I lost my consciousness. It should have been difficult for me to escape being devoured by the darkness, but I didn't expect to encounter it …"
"What did you encounter?"
"That existence's successor, but I think it might be his daughter. She secretly took action and ignited my memories, releasing the seal on my Dao Fruit. Later, I slowly recovered some of my memories. When I learned about my previous life, I went to the Burial Race. There was a World Grinding Wheel there. I used its power to purify the power of darkness in my body. "
"World Grinding Wheel?" The Phoenix Lord looked at him in shock and said, "You mean that existence spent all his effort to refine the millstone that can grind away the power of darkness?"
"That's right. That existence might not have died back then. Maybe he's waiting for an opportunity, waiting for this great era! I wasn't sure before, but I found a person who seemed to have a deep relationship with that existence and that existence's daughter. This is definitely not a coincidence. Therefore, he's very likely to be the biggest variable in this era and the entire future! "
"Jian Yi, who are you talking about?"
"A disciple of my Celestial Slaying Sword Sect. He's now the Sword Sect Master, a young man in the Grandmaster Realm. He has too many secrets that even I can't see through. Not only does he have a relationship with that existence, but he also has a female bracelet on his hand. If I'm not wrong, that's a Heavenly Emperor-grade artifact! "
The Phoenix Lord was shocked. "So, there's a female Heavenly Emperor behind him?"
"That should be the case, but he doesn't know anything about it. This young man's fate is very difficult. His future is filled with blood and bones. His background is related to the overall situation of the heavens. Too many people have placed their hopes on his future … "
At this point, Tian Jianyi's eyes turned cold. "Now, the strongest forces in the world all want to kill him. That's not all, but even your Divine Phoenix Mountain is involved! "
"Who?" The Phoenix Lord's expression changed. "Jian Yi, don't be angry. I don't know. Since that young man carries such hope, not only will my Divine Phoenix Mountain not touch him, but we'll also protect him. Besides, he's your disciple, so he's also my disciple. "
"There's no need to protect him. Let him deal with the enemies in the outside world slowly. He needs to move forward in the midst of difficulties and sharpen himself in blood and bones. Otherwise, how can he face the darkness in the future? " At this point, he changed the topic and said, "However, some people in your Divine Phoenix Mountain's thirteenth branch cannot be forgiven. They must be severely punished!"
"Alright, I'll see who's so presumptuous to run out of the forbidden zone and attack a junior from the outside world!"
The Phoenix Lord's expression was very cold. Even if it was not her husband's disciple, she would not tolerate it if it was someone else.
The forbidden zone was too powerful for the outside world. Using the strong to bully the weak had crossed her bottom line.
A powerful Emperor-level Divine Perception spread out and enveloped the entire thirteen branches.
In an instant, all of their thoughts, what they had done recently, what they had thought, what they had said, and who they had met were all clearly seen by her.
Then, with a thought, a middle-aged man was directly pulled over from somewhere in the thirteen branches' area. With a bang, he fell to the ground.
That person had not recovered from his shock. When he raised his head and saw the Phoenix Lord's face, he was so frightened that his entire body went limp.
He had never seen the Phoenix Lord before, but each branch's ancestral land had a statue of the Phoenix Lord that was exactly the same as the woman in front of him.
Then, a dozen people fell to the ground. There were middle-aged and old people.
These were the upper echelons of the thirteen branches. They had lived for a long time.
"Phoenix Lord, spare us, spare us!"
They knelt on the ground and trembled in fear. When they saw the Phoenix Lord sitting together with the man who had entered the forbidden zone, they knew that they were done for.
"How can I spare all of you?" The Phoenix Lord's face was cold as she said, "You are really impressive. Seven Saint Emperors and eight Saint Ancestors. Since you all know about this, why didn't anyone come out to stop it? Back then, when I was in deep sleep, I left a ban that forbade anyone from the Divine Phoenix Race from participating in the outside world. Unless you all leave the Divine Phoenix Race first, I will not interfere in any of your matters! "
"Phoenix Lord, we were wrong. We won't dare to do it again!"
They begged in fear.
The Phoenix Lord ignored them. Instead, she looked at Tian Jianyi and said, "Jianyi, I'll leave them to you. Don't be angry."
Tian Jianyi nodded and said, "I'll go and deal with them first before coming back to accompany you. Or do you want to follow me to the Celestial Slaying Sword Sect?"
"Then let's go to the Celestial Slaying Sword Sect."
The Phoenix Lord stood up. It was too boring to stay here. She had had enough of being alone all these years.
Although Tian Jianyi said that he wanted to accompany her, he could not possibly ignore the Celestial Slaying Sword Sect. He had to go back often.
They had just reunited, and she did not want to be separated again. She might as well go with him.
Tian Jianyi rolled up his sleeves and brought along a dozen terrified upper echelons of the thirteen branches.
In an instant, he and the Phoenix Lord appeared in front of the forbidden zone.
