Chapter 716 Return to 9 You
It sounds long, but in reality it is just a moment.
When the consciousness of the Xiantian Immortal Emperor faded from Li Yuan's mind, looking at Li Yuan lying in the clouds with his body almost broken, his eyes darkened for a while, and murderous intent surged several times, but he finally suppressed it.
The Xiantian Immortal Emperor was not sure whether the threat posed by that group of beings was effective. If possible, after knowing all this, he wanted to kill Li Yuan and Tian Yao, the two anomalies, even more.
The emperor is not afraid of disasters. If we talk about the most difficult points for him to see through in this disaster, apart from the Emperor of Heaven's seclusion, it is these two younger generations who make him feel uneasy.
After learning that it was someone from the Extra Chaos world, the murderous intent became the strongest.
However, the calm "reminders" of those mythical emperors still lingered in his mind, and the Xiantian Immortal Emperor chose to retreat.
That was a mysterious chaos that had never been touched before. Those mythological systems seemed quite unique. Before he had a rough grasp of it, the Xiantian Immortal Emperor would not gamble.
"It seems that I have to talk to Hun Yuan now," Xiantian Emperor thought.
As the clear will born from chaos, Hunyuan obviously knew something about that place and established diplomatic relations before everyone else.
Thinking in his heart and looking at the seriously injured Li Yuan, the Xiantian Immortal Emperor's eyes turned cold.
With just a slight wave of his hand, all of Li Yuan's cultivation disappeared, and he almost became a mortal.
"Degenerate into the mortal world, or be branded with a soul mark and bow to this emperor."
The Xiantian Immortal Emperor was a ruthless character after all. He did not kill Li Yuan, but he was not willing to let Li Yuan go easily. He used the power of Taoism to wipe out all of Li Yuan's cultivation.
Of course, in order to prevent that 'reminder' from becoming a reality, even if Li Yuan disobeyed, he would ask everyone to temporarily stop touching Li Yuan.
Li Yuan coughed up blood and staggered to his feet.
The Xiantian Immortal Emperor's action of snatching the soul took only a moment, and he had no idea that the emperor in front of him had already spied on the Blue Star and even had a conversation with the mythical figure.
He just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and his eyes trembled.
"I, Li Yuan, have said many cruel words in my life..."
As soon as Li Yuan opened his mouth, a large amount of immortal blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth, like a river bursting its dam.
Not everyone can withstand the might of the Dao Master. Even if the Xiantian Emperor only hurt him for a moment, he was on the verge of death. The act of erasing his cultivation made it impossible for him to recover from his injuries.
However, feeling the severe pain all over his body and the mocking and indifferent looks from the powerful enemies around him, Li Yuan never bowed his head.
He raised his head and looked directly at the Xiantian Immortal Emperor with his eyes that contained calmness despite his anger.
With a hoarse voice, he threatened the emperor word by word: "Do you think that you can throw me into the abyss by destroying my cultivation once?"
"I am Li Yuan! The righteous god of heaven and the protector of humanity!"
"I swear to all living things in heaven and earth...I will kill you one day!"
Li Yuan's mouth was full of blood, and his body looked like broken porcelain, but his eyes were like a blade that split the sky and earth, cutting through all the pressure and disdain.
"You don't dare to kill me, although I don't know why..."
"But I've had enough of this shit..."
"Zhang Tiansheng! You promised me that the ending wouldn't be too bad!"
Although Li Yuan had lost his cultivation, everyone remained silent, and his voice still echoed in the air, spreading in all directions.
"I'll trust you this time, for the last time!"
Li Yuan's face was covered in bloodstains, revealing a hideous smile, accompanied by constant coughing, like the final determination of a dying man.
Xiantian Emperor frowned, his expression cold and arrogant: "Are you chanting his name?"
The three words "Zhang Tiansheng" seemed to have triggered the vibration of the Heaven. Others could not sense it, but he, as the Dao Master, could feel it clearly.
Li Yuan ignored him and just let out a light cry.
"Dingque."
The Fuxuan Sword has not yet recognized its master, but the Dingque Sword has already recognized Li Yuan as its master, regardless of whether Li Yuan still has any cultivation or whether he still has the power to use it.
In the distance, the Dingque Sword held in the hands of a top powerful being launched a fierce resistance.
"Your Majesty the Immortal Emperor..." The top powerful man's fingers were cut by the sword energy, and blood was dripping. Feeling the fierce struggling force of the evil sword in his hand, he could not help but look at the innate Immortal Emperor.
The Xiantian Immortal Emperor stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Li Yuan deeply. At this moment, he seemed to have some kind of premonition and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
"Give it to him." The Immortal Emperor said indifferently.
The top powerful man was quite reluctant, but still followed the order of the Xiantian Immortal Emperor and released the Dingque Sword.
In fact, even if the Xiantian Immortal Emperor did not agree, he would not be able to hold on to this ancient evil sword that was struggling with all its might for too long.
In just a moment, the Dingque sword flew back into Li Yuan's hand.
Li Yuan was weak and bleeding, and was trembling all over. He was holding the Dingque sword, but even lifting it seemed difficult.
However, he still slowly and firmly placed Dingque on his neck.
The evil sword had a spirit. Ding Que had a premonition and it began to tremble. The sword energy dispersed in all directions, unwilling to get close to Li Yuan and do something to devour its master.
But Li Yuan just comforted them softly, and looked around at the enemies with cold eyes, finally stopping on the Xiantian Immortal Emperor.
"I, Li Yuan, will not die just like this."
"At least, not yet."
The hand holding the sword drained the last bit of strength from the body, and when the Dingque sword slashed across Li Yuan's neck, blood spilled into the clouds and bloomed into a cluster of rich, star-like flowers.
Li Yuan's vision blurred and he quickly lost consciousness.
But inside his body, the Nine Nether Divine Jade emitted a faint light, instantly taking his soul to the underworld.
When the nuclear explosion happened, Li Yuan was glad that he didn't use it, thinking that he could use it again in the future. In the end, he still couldn't save it.
Looking at Li Yuan's bloody corpse lying in the clouds, and the Dingque Sword that was quickly losing its spirituality and returning to silence, many powerful enemies fell silent.
They secretly glanced at the Xiantian Immortal Emperor with a deep expression, and seeing that the latter had no reaction, they dared to discuss in a low voice.
"This Anshan Li Yuan is indeed resolute... However, now that he is dead, the resistance in this world will be much smaller."
"Those cultivators in the human world can't hold out for long. Without Li Yuan, the human world is already in our hands."
"I admire the character of Anshan Li Yuan. If we were an ally, he would definitely be a trustworthy person..."
"What nonsense are you talking about! He is of a different caliber than us and we have no common interests! He will only bring disaster if he is kept alive. It is better for him to die!"
A powerful man secretly glanced at the Xiantian Immortal Emperor and quickly winked at him.
"Don't be too happy, everyone. Li Yuan's soul disappeared in an instant. I'm afraid he has something to rely on..."
"The body dies and the soul goes to the underworld... It must be a divine object like the Nine Nether Divine Jade that could save him."
"However, isn't it a small matter for the Immortal Emperor to go to the underworld to capture souls? When the time comes, we will cut off his escape route and see how he can still put on that disgusting and arrogant attitude!"
The powerful ones with innate power secretly echoed and tried to please the Innate Immortal Emperor, and they were also secretly reminding the Innate Immortal Emperor that the roots must be removed before the grass can be cut.
However, what they could not know was that the moment Li Yuan called out the three words Zhang Tiansheng, a pair of eyes had already opened from silence and stared at the Xiantian Immortal Emperor.
There was anger, helplessness, and a fierce murderous intent in those eyes, which made the Xiantian Immortal Emperor's face turn gloomy.
This murderous intent... is a thousand times stronger than when the two emperors fought each other thousands of years ago!
“Emperor of Heaven…!”
"Is he that important to you?"
The Xiantian Immortal Emperor murmured to himself, looking towards the sky with a solemn expression.
As for going to the underworld to capture souls and completely cut off Li Yuan's escape route...
Regardless of the Mythological Emperor's previous 'reminder' or the Emperor of Heaven's angry gaze at this moment, he would not do anything if threatened by either side, let alone the combination of the two.
