Outside the Demonic Slaughter Space.
The Divine Heaven Isolation Seal was revolving slowly in the air, releasing a faint red light.
Ten minutes had passed since Tobias, An Lin, and the others had entered the Demonic Slaughter Space.
Great Divination Master Feng Wuyan couldn’t help but interject, “Emperor Yi Deng, should we move the Divine Heaven Isolation Seal to another location? What if the two humans sent out signals…”
Emperor Yi Deng harrumphed coldly with an indifferent expression. “Do you think I wouldn’t have thought of that? Those two humans have fallen into the Demonic Slaughter Space. With the combined strength of Tobias and Cassidy, it would be far too much for them to survive!”
He slowly pulled out an inky-black spike as a mysterious smile appeared on his face. “As for why I’m still here, of course it’s to wait for that emperor.”
“Ever since the death of my son, Laden, I’ve been preparing something for him. It’s time for me to exact some vengeance for what happened last time…”
A bone-chilling cold light flashed from Emperor Yi Deng’s eyes. “Emperor Tian Huang… If you dare to come here today, I’ll make sure you regret it, even if I can’t kill you!”
Laden’s death quite possibly had something to do with An Lin and the others.
However, Emperor Tian Huang was someone who was most definitely involved! He had beaten Laden to within an inch of his life and prevented Emperor Yi Deng from being able to exact vengeance for his son, which made him unable to even verify the identities of his son’s killers.
Emperor Yi Deng had not forgotten about this.
It was now time for him to take revenge!
“He’s here.” Emperor Yi Deng seemed to have felt something as he looked into the distance.
Heaven and earth suddenly began to rumble and boom.
A massive rift was suddenly torn into the vast expanse of red clouds in the sky.
Someone stepped through the air, and the red clouds disappeared in his wake.
“No, this isn’t Emperor Tian Huang!” Emperor Yi Deng’s expression shifted. “This aura is even more terrifying than Emperor Tian Huang’s, it’s as if it represents the will of the entire heavens!”
Dong!
The sound of a massive gong being struck reverberated through the air.
All of the red clouds in sight were completely dispelled by this mighty soundwave.
The Return to Void Final Stage Feng Wuyan trembled from fear upon hearing this sound, and he stared blankly at the white figure in the distance, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
“It’s you! Celestial Thearch!” Emperor Yi Deng’s eyes widened when he caught sight of the new arrival.
“Hehe, Emperor Yi Deng, long time no see. I’m very touched that you decided to wait here for me…” A gentle smile appeared on the Celestial Thearch’s face, and he looked as if he was making his way forward at a casual stroll, but each and every one of his strides took him several dozen kilometers through the air.
Emperor Yi Deng was absolutely fuming. Who the f*ck is waiting for you? I’m waiting for Emperor Tian Huang!
Speaking of which, wasn’t Emperor Tian Huang responsible for patrolling the Dark Marshlands? Why wasn’t he here?
Emperor Yi Deng repressed the rage in his heart and forced a smile onto his face. “Is there not much going on with you, Celestial Thearch? I didn’t expect you to make a trip here for something insignificant like this.”
This was the top dog of the Heavenly Court!
He was expecting a general to come but an emperor came instead? What the hell was this? Was this really just a simple matter of bad luck?
“Hehe, I’ve been staying at the Heavenly Court for too long, so I decided to come out for some fresh air,” the Celestial Thearch replied with a smile.
He wasn’t going to tell Yi Deng that he had prohibited Emperor Tian Huang from coming here so that he could personally make a visit.
It was the time for the end-of-term examination, so An Lin would’ve definitely been the one who had attracted all of the enemy forces.
An Lin had a knack for drawing enemies to himself, and each time he did, his assailants became more and more terrifying. In order to ensure everyone’s safety, the Celestial Thearch decided to make a trip himself and sweep through all obstacles!
Thus, the plan Emperor Yi Deng had been preparing for a long time came to waste…
Why didn’t Emperor Yi Deng use his secret weapon to fight the Celestial Thearch?
Only an idiot would do something like that! Setting aside whether the secret weapon would be able to do much to the Celestial Thearch, he wasn’t even the person Emperor Yi Deng wanted to exact revenge on! There was absolutely no reason to offend such a terrifying mighty figure!
“Are you feeling a little disappointed? That’s alright. If you want to fight, I can be your sparring partner.” The Celestial Thearch clasped one hand behind his back while splaying one hand in front of him as his white robe flapped around him.
Emperor Yi Deng’s face convulsed slightly. “No, thanks. I’m waiting for someone.”
The Celestial Thearch turned his eyes upon the Divine Heaven Isolation Seal with a smile. “Are they in there?”
Emperor Yi Deng’s mood finally lifted at the mention of this topic. “That’s right! Two of my tribe’s Holy Disciples are in there sparring with the prodigies of your Heavenly Court. I’m very much looking forward to the result.”
This was a mighty figure at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage plus a Return to Void Final Stage mighty figure, and they had the power of the Demonic Slaughter Space to help them. How could they possibly lose to two Soul Formation Stage cultivators?
Even if their opponent were a mighty figure at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, they would still have no chance at surviving this ordeal!
So what if the Celestial Thearch was here? He couldn’t enter the Demonic Slaughter Space, so this trip was made in futility. The most he could do would be to take two corpses back with him!
The Celestial Thearch disregarded Emperor Yi Deng’s smug expression. In any case, he firmly believed that An Lin would be able to defeat his opponents as long as he wasn’t up against a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure.
A few minutes later, the Divine Heaven Isolation Seal began to tremble.
Boom!
A red halo appeared before expanding through the air.
Powerful spatial fluctuations erupted forth.
Both emperors were staring intently at the Divine Heaven Isolation Seal.
Emperor Yi Deng wore a confident smile while the Celestial Thearch’s expression was full of anticipation.
One figure after another began to appear within the red halo.
Emperor Yi Deng’s smile gradually froze on his face, and the Celestial Thearch’s mouth also gaped open in surprise.
Four figures had appeared before them, but two of them seemed to be in quite a miserable state.
Those two were the two Blood Tribe Holy Disciples that Emperor Yi Deng had been strongly endorsing.
Cassidy and Tobias were both riddled with wounds, and their bodies were bound by countless silver chains. There was a crimson cross behind them, which was unleashing extremely formidable sealing power.
This was the intermediate-rank immortal tool that An Lin had just obtained, the Blood Soul Cross!
One could use their own blood and the power of their consciousness in conjunction with this immortal tool in order to seal away their enemy’s power! Even though Cassidy and Tobias had licked away all of the blood, the Blood Soul Cross was still able to unleash extreme sealing power!
“You… How did you lose?” Emperor Yi Deng wore an expression of incredulity.
He was waiting for the two Holy Disciples to slay their opponents before leaving in a joyful mood, but what was going on here? The two Holy Disciples had been taken hostage?
“An Lin is simply too powerful. He possesses a mystic technique that can make someone’s power disappear for a short period of time. We were both defeated by this!” Tobias explained with an indignant expression.
Emperor Yi Deng fell silent, but his brain was working overtime.
Was this some sort of large-scale immobilization spell technique? It looked like he would have to prepare some high-rank spatial isolation spell techniques in order to counteract An Lin’s peculiar spell technique…
He would remember this information for future reference!
“Hahaha… As expected of the pride of our Heavenly Court. Well done!” the Celestial Thearch offered words of praise with a relaxed smile on his face.
Everyone heaved a light sigh of relief upon seeing the Celestial Thearch.
They had found a backer! Taking Cassidy and Tobias hostage was a course of action they had been forced to revert to as the enemy was too powerful for them to handle. However, this was a very risky plan.
The best way to ensure their safety was for powerful reinforcements from the Heavenly Court to arrive!
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Cassidy, and Tobias all subsequently turned toward Emperor Yi Deng with peculiar expressions on their faces.
To think an idiot like this existed in this world!
