Behind the Divine Child of the Heavens and the mysterious old man stood dozens of super-strong individuals at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm from the myriad races of ferocious beasts and the Heavenly Clan.
These powerful figures were all tall and imposing, radiating an extremely powerful aura, as if each of them was an insurmountable mountain.
Moreover, in addition to these dozens of top experts, there are nearly ten thousand more experts behind them.
Each of them exuded an incredibly strong aura of a quasi-emperor. This aura converged to form a tremendous torrent that shot straight into the sky, causing the entire world to change color.
At the same time, the massive palace complex below was also flashing with light, and dazzling beams of light shot into the sky, like shooting stars streaking across the night sky, quickly disappearing into the void.
Before long, the void above the palace complex was also filled with densely packed figures.
Among them are Yuan Changsheng and Yuan Xun of the Yuan clan, the five ancestors of the Ti clan, the Dao clan, the five ancestors of the Yu clan, the four ancestors of the Jun clan, and the six ancestors of the Tai'a clan.
The most eye-catching figures are the human ancestors of the Sword Sect, the Shangqing Sect, and other immortal forces.
They stood tall at the forefront of the crowd, like an indestructible mountain, radiating a terrifying and awe-inspiring pressure.
At that moment, Yuan Changsheng broke the silence, his booming voice resounding like a great bell: "The Great Dao is elusive and hard to find, the common people of this world..."
"Only a few hundred years have passed, and you've finally couldn't hold back and made your move!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Cang Shao Chu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile. He immediately replied, "As the saying goes, 'Kings cannot meet.' In today's unpredictable situation, only one of us can be king."
"And that king is me, and you are doomed to die today!"
Upon hearing Shang Cang Shao Chu's wild and absurd words, Yuan Changsheng threw his head back and burst into loud laughter, the sound deafening.
After laughing, he abruptly stopped, staring intently at Shang Cang Shao Chu with eyes like lightning, and shouted sharply, "Who will become king and emperor is still unknown. We'll find out after we have a great battle!"
"war!"
"war!"
Then the two spoke almost simultaneously.
Their piercing gazes met and collided in the air, instantly sparking countless sparks, like two bolts of lightning streaking across the sky.
The shouts of Yuan Changsheng and Shang Cang Shaochu rang out.
The crowd behind them also shouted in unison, and for a moment the shouts resounded through the heavens and the earth, like a series of thunderclaps exploding in their ears.
At the same time, extremely powerful auras surged from these people, quickly spreading throughout the entire space.
In that instant, all that everyone saw was the quasi-Emperor level experts on both sides transforming into streaks of colorful and dazzling light, surging forward at an astonishing speed.
Some of these lights were a blazing red, like burning flames.
Some emanate a cold blue hue, resembling bone-chilling ice.
Others shimmered with a mysterious light, like a dreamlike aurora borealis...
They intertwine, like a colorful meteor shower streaking across the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the powerful figures from both sides engaged in a fierce battle.
In an instant, the entire space was enveloped by the dazzling light released by various powerful spells, accompanied by violent energy fluctuations that surged in all directions.
Each collision of attacks caused the surrounding space to twist and shatter, and large swathes of space collapsed completely in the blink of an eye, turning into nothingness.
The once vast grasslands, towering snow-capped peaks, endless mountain ranges, and lush forests were instantly transformed into desolate wastelands under the impact of this terrifying force.
The earth cracked open, countless fissures spread out, and scalding magma from deep underground gushed out like fountains. One after another, huge volcanoes erupted, billowing thick smoke soaring into the sky and blotting out the sun.
This scene is like the end of the world!
At this moment, the quasi-emperor level nine ancestors from various families, including Yuan Xun, Body Ancestor, Blade Ancestor, the Jade Clan Five Groups, and the Ji Family Five Groups, also charged towards the quasi-emperor level nine experts of the Celestial Clan and the Myriad Ferocious Beasts Clan without showing any weakness.
Their gazes were cold and their aura was overwhelming. Once they found a suitable opponent, they would immediately and without hesitation unleash their most powerful methods and summon their quasi-emperor weapons, and then step forward to engage in a thrilling life-or-death struggle.
Above the void, the young master of the heavens and the old man with white hair and a weathered face stood quietly in the void.
They looked down at the intense battle below, their expressions solemn.
Suddenly, Shang Cang Shao Chu's eyes narrowed, he snorted coldly, and with a flicker of his body, he took the old man with him and soared into the air again, flying straight towards the higher void.
At the same time, Yuan Changsheng, who had been watching the battle from a distance, saw this and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Then, he instantly transformed into a streak of light and sped straight toward Shang Cang Shao Chu and the white-haired old man.
After catching up with Shang Cang Shao Chu and the old man, no one said another word.
In an instant, Yuan Changsheng's aura spread out, and an extremely terrifying and heart-palpitating quasi-emperor power erupted, sweeping around like a storm.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Changsheng extended his right arm backward and slowly clenched his right fist, gathering power within it.
The next moment, he flashed away like lightning, and with overwhelming force, he threw a powerful punch at the white-haired old man opposite him.
This punch was incredibly powerful, tearing black cracks in the void wherever it passed.
However, faced with such a fierce and powerful attack, the old man stood firmly in place without moving.
His snow-white robe moved and fluttered even without wind.
Just then, the old man softly uttered four words: "Time stop!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a bizarre scene unfolded. Yuan Changsheng, who had been charging forward aggressively, suddenly seemed to be frozen in place.
He froze in mid-air, his fist halting its swing, unable to move from its previous position.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Changsheng's face showed surprise, and he exclaimed, "An alternative path to enlightenment?"
He was clearly shocked by the methods displayed by the old man before him.
Upon hearing Yuan Changsheng's words, the old man threw his head back and burst into loud laughter, a laugh that was deafening and echoed through the sky.
After laughing, he said proudly, "That's right! I am the seventh ancestor of the Celestial Clan—Celestial Zhi, an unconventional Daoist!"
Those who attain enlightenment through unconventional means are a very special kind of being.
In an era dominated by the suppression of emperors, they found a unique path and comprehended a trace of the laws of time and the mysteries of the physical body.
These individuals are extremely powerful; although they have not yet truly become emperors, they already possess strength comparable to ancient emperors.
Moreover, in the absence of a Great Emperor or the absence of an Emperor in the present era, they are undoubtedly the strongest.
There are even a very few unorthodox cultivators who can directly contend with the Great Emperor.
