"Greetings, Venerable One!"

Huang Tianqin, Yu Tonghai, and Liu Xia, all Void Realm experts from the Yu Huang Sect, said respectfully.

At the same time, they were completely relaxed, and with the arrival of the Venerable One, they no longer needed to fear the Undying Phoenix.

Apart from the Mountain-Splitting War God at the Void Realm Limit, whom they still feared, they were not afraid of the rest.

"A Venerable of the Yu Emperor Sect? That person is the Yu Emperor Sect's trump card?!"

"Could it be the Void Realm?"

The beings in the virtual realms stared intently at the scene, their eyes filled with curiosity.

In the sky.

A tall figure appeared, his entire body covered in dark gold armor, exuding a powerful aura. Moreover, his height was astonishing, reaching a full two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), like a giant.

The man was also wearing a menacing dark gold helmet, and the mask completely covered his face, not even revealing his eyes.

"What huge fists!" Teng Qingshan and the others were shocked, their eyes fixed on the giant's hands.

It was already two zhang tall, but the proportion of its fists was even more astonishing, like two giant rocks. The fists were covered with huge dark gold gauntlets, with a row of ferocious spikes on them. It was believed that if this punch were to hit, it would smash a hole in a mountain.

"Fire Phoenix".

The giant spoke, glancing at Teng Qingshan and the others, then at the group of Void Realm cultivators around him, then at the Void Realm cultivators like the Mountain-Splitting War God who were facing off, and finally at the Phoenix Mother.

"Yo~~"

The Phoenix Mother looked at the giant, as if she had known him for a long time, which ignited a fierce fighting spirit within her.

"Fire Phoenix, are you going to stand up for this young man? The people of the Yu Emperor Sect are indeed too arrogant because of the Yu Emperor."

The giant did not accept the Phoenix Mother's fighting spirit, showing no particular emotion. Even when reprimanding the Void Realm cultivators of the Yu Emperor Sect, his voice remained calm:

"I have a general understanding of the cause and effect of this feud."

He glanced at Huang Tianqin and the other two beside him and said calmly:

“Your actions are too arrogant, and you will surely suffer losses. You should know that Emperor Yu has long since perished and can no longer protect you. Even if Emperor Yu were still alive, given his temper, he would not indulge you.”

"Think about how you should compensate this young man."

“Venerable one…” Huang Tianqin and the other two were taken aback.

In their view, the Venerable One belonged to their Yuhuang Sect, and logically, he should be the one protecting them.

"Hmph, didn't you hear me?" The giant's voice turned cold.

"yes!"

Huang Tianqin and the other two dared not disobey. Within the Yu Huang Sect, all the Void Realm experts of all generations knew that the disciples of the Yu Huang Sect had to obey the Venerable One's command!

However, because the Yuhuang Sect rarely encounters major crises, the number of times this Venerable One has taken action can be counted on one hand, and Huang Tianqin and the other two do not quite understand the Venerable One's rules of conduct.

Seeing that the Venerable One of the Yu Emperor Sect was helping the people and not his own, not only Teng Qingshan, who was involved, but even those who were watching from the sidelines nodded in approval.

No wonder the Yuhuang Sect has been able to survive for over six thousand years without ever being destroyed; there is indeed some secret to it.

Given the way Huang Tianqin and Yu Tonghai operate, no matter how strong the Yuhuang Sect is, it will eventually decline and even perish.

Because of arrogance, many people are offended for no reason. Over time, how can it not perish?

It should be noted that even the Heavenly God Palace, the Ying Clan, and the Mani Temple, where powerful Void Realm experts like Pei San, Qin Shiqi, and Liao Yuan reside, are often reasonable and have their pride, but that is the pride of the strong, not the condescending attitude of the Void Realm experts of the Yu Huang Sect when facing Void Realm experts of the same level.

It now seems that it was simply that these people from the Yuhuang Sect hadn't grasped the essence.

"That Venerable One from the Yu Emperor Sect..." Qin Shiqi and Pei San frowned. As the power of the world swept over, a powerful and primal aura was revealed.

The old monk Liaoyuan of Mani Temple also twitched his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise:

"That Venerable One... is a Void Realm Divine Beast?!"

Cao Ya didn't rush to make a move. He glanced at the Venerable One from the Yu Huang Sect, but his gaze couldn't penetrate the divine armor.

If he remembered correctly, this Venerable One was a divine beast that had reached the Great Perfection of the Void Realm. Its true form was a black bear. It existed in the tribal era before Emperor Yu and later followed Emperor Yu to sort out the origin of heaven and earth.

It was also around that time that Venerable Bear fought against many Void Realm Gods, including the Mother of Phoenix, also known as the Fire Phoenix in Venerable Bear's words.

However, with Emperor Yu's guidance, the Phoenix Mother was no match for the Bear Venerable.

Later, the Phoenix Mother also received guidance from the strongest being, and now the two divine beasts should be almost equal.

However, the Bear Venerable was wearing divine armor, specially made by Emperor Yu, which had extremely strong defensive capabilities and could not be burned through even by the flames of the Phoenix Mother.

With the aid of that divine armor, and considering the weapon, Venerable Bear should still be able to overpower Mother Phoenix.

Even a cultivator at a normal level might not be able to defeat Venerable Xiong.

In Cao Ya's eyes, of all the beings present, Pei San was the strongest, followed by Qin Shiqi, Liao Yuan, and Xiong Zun Zhe, and then Wu Zhui Ma and the Phoenix Mother.

These are all extremely powerful beings with the combat strength to penetrate the Void Realm.

As for those who have entered the Void Realm, there are even more, too many to count even if you put your hands and feet together.

Seeing that Venerable Yu Huangmen had stepped forward and demanded compensation from the unreasonable Yu Huangmen, Teng Qingshan felt a great deal of goodwill towards this Venerable.

The root of his feud with the Yu Huang Sect was not with him, but with Yu Tonghai and his group being too arrogant, ignoring Teng Qingshan's opinions, and thinking that a carefree Void Realm cultivator could be manipulated at will.

This naturally aroused Teng Qingshan's resentment, and they eventually became enemies.

"Yo~~~"

The Phoenix Mother cried out in dissatisfaction. Thousands of years ago, she had been defeated by the Bear Venerable. Today, she wanted to avenge herself, but the Bear Venerable showed no intention of making a move.

Venerable Bear smiled faintly:

"Teng Qingshan, you and Huang Tianqin discuss compensation. I'll take charge."

He glanced at the Mother Phoenix, shook his head, and said:

"If those in the Void Realm want to have a martial arts competition, what's the point of us fighting when we've only just entered the Void Realm?"

"Let's watch the battle between Void Realm experts."

Venerable Bear gazed at the distant sky.

Most of the time, it stayed at the Yuhuang Gate and rarely went out.

This trip was also due to receiving information that appeared to be from a supreme being.

That Mountain-Splitting War God was indeed at the limit of the Void Realm, and the pressure he exerted was no less than that of the Heavenly King Hong back then.

Before achieving enlightenment, Yu the Great must have possessed this level of strength... Ha, these guys from the Yu Emperor Sect are too arrogant... But what does it have to do with me? Back then, Yu the Great only told me to preserve the Yu Emperor Sect's legacy... That Teng Qingshan reached the Void Realm in his early twenties, created an internal martial arts style, and even survived being hunted down by a Grandmaster Void Realm expert... This talent is unbelievable...

Not to mention Teng Qingshan's side, there's also Fire Phoenix, that Heavenly Horse, and... that Void Realm Limit-level Mountain-Splitting War God...

Both the Mountain-Splitting War God and Teng Qingshan are potential supreme warriors...

According to Yu the Great, since such people cannot be eliminated, it is absolutely crucial not to offend them... Otherwise, once they become supreme experts, they will be a disaster for the Yu Emperor's Clan. Sending them some gifts—martial arts manuals, divine weapons, gold and silver—can foster goodwill and reverse hostility... What a worthwhile deal...

The Qinling Heavenly Emperor of that time, including the later Buddha Shakyamuni, and even the Void Realm experts like Hong Tianwang, all yielded... Only the Poet Sword Immortal, who did not build any power, roamed the world freely and unrestrainedly, and had not offended anyone, so he did not need to yield or compensate...

In this way, even if someone reaches the highest level of power, they will still give Emperor Yu face and allow the Yu Emperor's sect to remain...

Venerable Xiong thought to himself that he didn't care about the prestige of the Yu Emperor Sect at all, only about its inheritance.

There's no shame in yielding to the strong.

It's shameful to get wiped out if you try to fight head-on.

In any case, Emperor Yu opened up the road, and his merits were unparalleled throughout history. Normally speaking, whether it is a human in the Void Realm or a Void Realm divine beast, everyone should respect Emperor Yu.

Unbeknownst to Venerable Xiong, the legacy of Emperor Yu on the Duanmu Continent—Divine Axe Mountain—had been destroyed once. Later, the family changed its name and surname, and the Fu family produced a Primordial Martial Saint, barely qualifying as a middle-to-upper-class family. However, they would never dare to mention the ancestral glory of the Divine Axe God again.
