PHS Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Such Vicious Methods!

In the shadows, Meng Qingzhi contentedly put away a Great Emperor's Divine Soul and an Imperial Weapon.

"This trip wasn't in vain—I've profited greatly. The next time I visit the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, I should have enough to buy the location of a piece of Divine Metal," Meng Qingzhi thought to himself.

He was the Great Emperor who had accompanied Fang Han.

With Fang Han's strength, even with a Great Saint follower and information from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, crossing the entire Purple Profound Realm was no easy feat. After all, the Purple Profound Realm was vast. No matter how fast a Great Saint could fly, traversing from one end to the other would take decades.

And in several decades... by the time Fang Han arrived, it would be far too late.

Therefore, Meng Qingzhi saw his chance and gave him a push from behind, swiftly sending Fang Han to this location. He was the one who had acted. All he needed to do was set up a formation. With Fang Han's strength, defeating a Great Emperor was easy, but if the opponent was dedicated to fleeing, they could easily hold out for a month or two.

And the jade pendant in Fang Han's hand, with all three uses expended... would only last for three shichen.

It wasn't nearly enough time to kill a Great Emperor.

He had seized this precise opportunity, choosing to cooperate with Fang Han. The other party got his revenge and even pocketed a Great Emperor's Storage Ring for free. And as for himself... he had freely obtained an Imperial Weapon and a Great Emperor's Divine Soul.

If he refined them, his cultivation would surely advance greatly in the future.

If... he could pull this off a few more times, it would be difficult not to get rich.

"This opportunity of yours is exceptionally precious. You still have five ke of time remaining. Who do you intend to deal with next?" Meng Qingzhi asked via voice transmission.

Fang Han would be the one killing, while he himself set up the formations to block their escape. The responsibility would all fall on the other party, while he reaped the benefits. If he, Meng Qingzhi, let such a good opportunity pass by, he wouldn't be Meng Qingzhi.

"Dunshi Immortal Palace!"

Fang Han replied with words in his mind, without the slightest hesitation.

The people who had descended from the Dunshi Immortal Palace were not far from here. They were allied with Fuyun Mountain; even the factions they sought out were adjacent to each other. Now was the perfect chance to strike them.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Meng Qingzhi's eyes burned with fervor as he spoke quickly.

"Let's go."

Fang Han nodded.

The two turned simultaneously, took a single step, and vanished in an instant.

A single breath after they departed, several towering figures appeared in the high heavens. Their forms were hazy, shrouded in mists of Chaos. None revealed their true faces, but terrifying auras roiled around them—some domineering to the heavens, some possessing world-suppressing divine might, others ethereal and transcendent.

Every one of them stared silently at the battlefield below.

After a long time, a figure like a god or demon, wreathed in golden Blood Qi, his hair drifting and eyes sharp, exuded an Imperial Dao's majesty that suppressed the heavens. He spoke softly:

"Those who acted were all people from the Earth Immortal Realm!"

"Correct!"

A golden being stood in the void, surrounded by flashing lightning and thunder. The sky cracked apart as if intent on extinguishing the ten directions. He spoke in a cold voice: "The beings of the Earth Immortal Realm are too arrogant. The Spatial passage is broken, and who knows when it will be restored. These people need to be taught a lesson."

"What if they can't go back?"

Someone spoke up.

He was wreathed in the power of the Great Dao, possessing a world-overwhelming divine strength. With every move, the void trembled, and the space he occupied twisted, as if about to shatter eternity.

Right now, the beings who dared to come and observe the battlefield were all Great Emperors.

Although they were wary of the Earth Immortal Realm, they were definitely not afraid of it. Since the other side was already acting in their backyard, how could they sit by and do nothing?

If the Spatial passage to the Earth Immortal Realm were still intact, they might be more cautious. But the Spatial passage was broken. There was no need to indulge the other party any longer.

"Then we will kill them all!"

One Great Emperor was brimming with killing intent. A sea of blood surged beneath his feet, filled with the wails of gods and demons.

This was an Ancient Emperor who had lived for unknown ages, slumbering in a Forbidden Zone. He had been awakened today by the clash of two Great Emperors, and seeing the shattered world... he was deeply displeased.

Beings from another world were actually fighting in their world, crippling an entire Starfield and even affecting several others. The Purple Profound Realm itself had been wounded to its core. How could they not be furious?

"It is best to discuss this at length. The connection between the Earth Immortal Realm and the Purple Profound Realm is only broken. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future..."

An aged figure began to speak.

He had not yet finished his words.

"Rumble!"

A massive explosion rang out.

From the neighboring Starfield, a heaven-shaking roar was heard. Two more Great Emperors were battling in the firmament. Imperial blood splattered in all directions, shaking more than half of the Purple Profound Realm. Countless people watched the clashing figures, their hearts pounding in terror, none knowing if their own Starfield would be next.

"Is there no end to this?"

A Great Emperor in the Purple Profound Realm spoke, filled with indignation.

Fighting once was one thing, but now a second time? Were they determined to cripple the entire Purple Profound Realm before they stopped?

Could it be... that these beings from the Earth Immortal Realm were spies sent by the Tianyuan Realm?

…

At the same time, in the Earth Immortal Realm—Fuyun Mountain.

This was a tall and magnificent divine mountain, soaring a million zhang high, piercing above the clouds. It was boundless and vast, like a continent floating in the void.

At the mountain's peak, Immortal Qi steamed, and ten thousand rays of divine radiance shone. Countless palaces and halls were faintly visible within the clouds and mist, exceptionally ethereal, like an immortal paradise beyond the mortal world.

At the very center, within a magnificent hall, a white-robed elder abruptly opened his eyes, his expression changing drastically as he exclaimed:

"Not good!"

"Mountain Lord, what has happened?"

An Elder, sitting cross-legged nearby, possessed an immortal-like bearing as he asked softly.

"The Ancestor has encountered great trouble! I sensed his aura weakening rapidly, and even his consciousness seemed to be on the verge of falling into slumber!"

The Fuyun Mountain Lord's expression was grim. His gaze turned toward the Yuxu Palace as he spoke coldly:

"Could it be that Yuxu Palace is playing tricks?"

The news of the Spatial passage shattering had already spread throughout the Earth Immortal Realm. Every power that had sent people to the lower realm was on edge, terrified of receiving bad news.

"Perhaps the Spatial passage was destroyed by a Great Emperor from the Purple Profound Realm. Mountain Lord need not worry. With the Yuxu Palace Ancestor's strength, he should be able to open a new one soon."

The Elder offered words of comfort.

Though he said this, his own expression was grim. Their Ancestor's aura was weakening, his consciousness about to fall into slumber—this clearly meant he had encountered a powerful enemy. He was likely already gravely wounded to the point where he couldn't even recover. Otherwise, why would his consciousness need to slumber?

"A Spatial passage opened by a Supreme True Immortal... which Great Emperor could possibly destroy it?"

The Fuyun Mountain Lord said coldly.

"There has been no news thus far... either a massive upheaval has occurred in the Purple Profound Realm, one that even a Supreme True Immortal cannot handle, or... Yuxu Palace has another conspiracy, intending to trap everyone in the Purple Profound Realm!"

The Fuyun Mountain Lord automatically dismissed the possibility of a situation that even a Supreme True Immortal couldn't handle.

The Purple Profound Realm was a minor world, with Great Emperor as its peak. They had also sent a Great Emperor down, who could be considered a top-tier combatant in the Purple Profound Realm. Almost no one would dare to offend him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he could run rampant across the Purple Profound Realm. How could those natives possibly threaten their Ancestor?

With that possibility eliminated... only one remained.

Yuxu Palace was scheming, intentionally sealing the Spatial passage, not only sacrificing countless outstanding prodigies but also seizing the inheritance of the Fang Clan all for themselves!

"Such vicious methods!"

The Fuyun Mountain Lord seethed.

A cold light glinted in his eyes, his killing intent soaring to the heavens.

His Fuyun Mountain had contributed men and effort, finally managing to annihilate the Fang Clan. Before they could even swallow the largest fruit, it had been snatched away by Yuxu Palace. How could he possibly swallow this insult?

"Junior Brother, go and inform Dunshi Immortal Palace and Taixu Mountain immediately! Tell them of Yuxu Palace's little scheme!"

"We three great powers will go to their door and demand our people back. If they refuse to release them, we will spread the news throughout the Earth Immortal Realm. I want to see if that Supreme True Immortal of Yuxu Palace can withstand the fury of the entire Earth Immortal Realm!"

The Fuyun Mountain Lord commanded in a cold voice.
