The eight people gasped in unison, their voices filled with awe and disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, they dared not be negligent in the slightest, and stepped forward one by one, then bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"
It's important to understand that the title "Heavenly Emperor" is not something just anyone can possess. It represents supreme power, invincible strength, and awe-inspiring prestige. Only those who stand at the pinnacle of mythology are qualified to be called "Heavenly Emperor."
At this moment, the Crimson Lotus Heavenly Emperor stood there gracefully, her rosy lips parted slightly, and a voice as beautiful as heavenly music slowly emanated: "Where are you all headed?"
Upon hearing the question from the Heavenly Emperor Honglian, one of the elders, dressed in a golden dragon robe, quickly stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, the Golden Age has now entered its second phase. We wish to travel to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to check on the situation of our respective sects."
As he spoke, he turned slightly to the side, revealing the golden dragon-shaped divine seal behind him, clearly indicating his identity and status.
However, the Crimson Lotus Emperor merely smiled slightly and elegantly continued, "Oh? As far as I know, none of you seem to have reported this trip to the Imperial Alliance, have you?"
"Your Majesty! We merely wish to return to our sect and brief our disciples on some important matters. After handling these matters, we will immediately return to the Imperial Alliance. After all, this is a trivial matter requiring a quick return, and we would not dare to disturb Your Majesty's honor!"
The figure with the golden feather spirit forming a divine seal behind him bowed slightly and answered respectfully.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Red Lotus Heavenly Emperor's voice, full of doubt, rang out: "Is that so? But according to my observation, the direction you are heading does not seem to be the location of your respective sects, but rather the direction of Taiyuan Heaven."
Upon hearing this, the eight figures exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions instantly turning extremely grim. They had originally thought they could deceive the Crimson Lotus Heavenly Emperor, but they hadn't expected him to see through their deception at a glance.
For a moment, the eight people were at a loss for words, and could only stammer, "This...this..."
Just then, the Crimson Lotus Heavenly Emperor suddenly let out a cold snort. With a wave of her jade hand, an incomparably terrifying Heavenly Emperor's power surged towards the eight people like a tidal wave. In an instant, this power seemed to transform into an incomparably heavy mountain, pressing down heavily on everyone.
The eight figures felt a sudden weight on their bodies, as if the entire world was pressing down on their shoulders.
The immense pressure caused their legs to tremble uncontrollably, and cold sweat poured out like a burst dam, instantly soaking their clothes. The extreme sense of oppression was terrifying; even breathing became incredibly difficult, each inhale feeling like it drained all their strength.
"Speak quickly! What is the purpose of your journey to Taiyuan Heaven? If you utter even a single lie, do not blame me for being ruthless!"
The Crimson Lotus Heavenly Emperor narrowed her beautiful eyes, her cold gaze fixed on the eight people before her, and the words she uttered carried an irresistible majesty.
"Yes...that's right! We really do long to return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to visit our respective sects."
"However, in that very instant, the four of us simultaneously sensed that the soul imprint of that Great Emperor from our sect had vanished without a trace. Immediately afterward, the Great Emperors from their respective sects transmitted a shocking message through their supreme divine senses."
"It turns out they were trapped within the Yuan Clan of Taiyuan Heaven. And what's even more terrifying is that our four sect's Great Emperors have unfortunately perished at the hands of that despicable old bastard, Yuan Shengyuan, the Ninth Ancestor of the Yuan Clan of Taiyuan Heaven!"
"Therefore, we are heading to Taiyuan Heaven now to confront that old fellow who annihilated the Yuan Clan and to completely wipe out the entire Yuan Clan!"
The moment these words were uttered, the once elegant and graceful Red Lotus Heavenly Emperor's beautiful eyes instantly turned icy cold, and a terrifyingly fierce killing intent suddenly erupted from her body, sweeping straight towards the eight people in front of her.
"Hmph! Annihilate the Yuan Clan? You mere eight Supreme Beings dare to utter such arrogant words? You even dared to attempt to kill my clan's Ninth Ancestor. You are truly audacious and courting death!" the Crimson Lotus Heavenly Emperor roared angrily.
"Wh...what? You're actually a member of the Yuan Clan?" one of them exclaimed in astonishment.
"How is this possible? In the countless eras since the existence of the Imperial Alliance, there has never been a Yuan Clan Emperor!"
The other seven were also struck as if by lightning, their bodies involuntarily taking several steps back. They stared wide-eyed at the Red Lotus Heavenly Emperor in disbelief, as if they were witnessing the most incredible sight in the world.
The Crimson Lotus Heavenly Emperor stared expressionlessly at the eight people before her with her exquisitely beautiful face. She stood there quietly, like a peerless red lotus blooming in the void, noble and mysterious.
However, she remained silent, only slowly raising her slender, jade-like hands.
In an instant, a chilling red and blue energy surged forth from her palm like a raging torrent. This energy seemed to originate from the primordial power of the universe, containing boundless might and an aura of destruction.
Immediately afterwards, centered on the eight supreme beings, a red and blue energy vortex suddenly formed and spun rapidly around them at an astonishing speed. Half of the energy emitted blazing, intensely hot flames that seemed capable of burning everything to ashes.
The other half exudes a chilling, eerie aura that cuts to the bone and penetrates to the soul, making one tremble uncontrollably.
Such terrifying energy pressure swept in, causing the entire star field to tremble violently once again under the impact of this force. Stars teetered on the brink of collapse, and nebulae churned and surged, as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Primordial Fire and Primordial Ice! These are said to be the closest to Immortal Fire and Immortal Ice!" Someone shouted in terror, but no one paid any attention to his words. Everyone's attention was drawn to the awe-inspiring power of the Crimson Lotus Heavenly Emperor.
The Crimson Lotus Heavenly Emperor's lips curled into a chilling smile. She said softly, "You guessed right. Then you shall perish here."
Before she could finish speaking, she swung her hands sharply and uttered a soft shout: "Flame Ice Severing Kill!"
As the delicate shout rang out, the red and blue energy vortex surrounding the eight supreme beings accelerated instantly, resembling two ferocious dragons entwining and battling each other. The scorching flames and the chilling aura collided and intertwined, producing a series of earth-shattering explosions.
