Eternal Life as False Emperor

With the explosion of his heart, Jiangg He's body transformed into tiny specks of light and dissipated.

An extremely ominous aura slowly rose into the sky, tearing open a crack in space.

An incomparably terrifying force erupted from the void rift.

Even Divinity Transformation Stage experts like Zhan Xinrou and Luh Shutong felt the terrifying aura.

If they didn't have to guard the vital pill furnace, they would have fled as fast as they could.

A gigantic flaming hand reached out from the space rift, saying, "Daring to harm this Emperor's kin, you shall repay with your lives."

The flaming hand descended upon Zhan Xinrou and Luh Shutong like Mount Tai pressing down, its terrifying pressure snuffing out any escape notions.

"Hold on, we're coming!"

Lin Junrong's Flying Shuttle swooped in, crashing directly into the massive flaming hand and pushing it back into the space rift.

But Lin Junrong fared poorly, though not vomiting blood, her face was deathly pale, evidently overexerted.

Dealing with an Enlightenment Stage expert while at the Divinity Transformation Stage was ultimately too forced.

"Azure Moon Flame Emperor!" Zheng Yi couldn't help but click his tongue.

Why is it that, as a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator, my opponents always turn out to be these Divinity Transformation Stage ancient monsters?

To be honest, even Zheng Yi himself hadn't anticipated this development.

Upon seeing Jiangg He, Qiann Wanrong, and Qiu Ming here, he sensed something was off about Zhang Hua.

After eliminating Zhang Hua and confirming him as a traitor.

Zheng Yi relaxed his vigilance towards Jiangg He and the others.

However, as time progressed, Zheng Yi grew increasingly uneasy.

Too coincidental.

This incident happened far too coincidentally.

He had only just found a few people when Zhang Hua, who had hidden deeply, was exposed.

If this guy was truly so careless, he wouldn't even need to act; Jiangg He, Qiu Ming, and Qiann Wanrong, who were always with Zhang Hua, would surely have sensed something was amiss.

After all, they were not ordinary people but cultivators.

Often, a cultivator's intuition has no explanation.

A single word, a movement, even using the wrong cultivation technique during a spar could alert a cultivator that something is wrong.

If Zhang Hua wasn't careless, then it's most likely that this exposure was to conceal something more crucial.

Thus, Zheng Yi decisively instructed an elder to hide.

Deliberately creating an opportunity for Yue Ping to leave, leaving only Zhan Xinrou behind, giving the enemy an opening.

Unexpectedly, they hooked something while fishing.

Originally planning to catch just a small fish, they ended up with a great white shark.

Zheng Yi initially thought that even if the undercover guy was extraordinarily powerful, once all enemies were dealt with, four Divinity Transformation experts were pitted against one.

No matter how great the opposing entity's skill, it wouldn't stir much trouble.

Unexpectedly, these Nether Spirit Race people directly brought over an Enlightenment Stage expert.

Moreover, it was the Azure Moon Flame Emperor with whom he had a deep-seated blood feud.

When Zheng Yi discovered Azure Moon Flame Emperor, the opponent also noticed Zheng Yi's presence.

"It really is you!" the gigantic flaming hand once again passed through the space rift, pressing down on Zheng Yi.

"That waste unexpectedly brought me this surprise. Die for the Emperor!"

Lin Junrong, Zhan Xinrou, and Luh Shutong three unleashed their cultivation techniques with full force, fending off the Azure Moon Flame Emperor's attack.

"Elder Zheng, we'll block him, you go first." Lin Junrong gritted his teeth and said.

Zheng Yi smiled wryly: "It's probably too late to leave now."

Azure Moon Flame Emperor roared fiercely: "Today, none of you shall leave alive."

Zheng Yi scoffed at his words: "I say, Azure Moon Flame Emperor, stop bluffing. If you could kill so easily, I'd be meeting King Yan already."

"If I'm not wrong, your true self probably can't penetrate deep within the human race's territory. What came through the space rift should be only a portion of your power, right?"

"Furthermore," Zheng Yi sneered coldly: "I'm confident that even this portion of power can't last long."

After a moment of silence, Azure Moon Flame Emperor said chillingly: "So what? It's enough to crush you ants to death."

Boom!

The flames on the enormous hand suddenly intensified, the inferno nearly dyeing the entire sky red.

Like tidal waves, the flames crashed into the array surrounding the Void Cloud Whale, causing the Grand Array to tremble.

Terrified, the elders of Star Sea hurriedly gathered all their power to energize the array.

After all, the Void Cloud Whale wasn't Star Sea itself and lacked sufficient spirit veins to maintain the Guardian Array's defense.

Most power came from prepared spirit stones and cultivators supplementing spiritual power to the array.

Resisting ordinary attacks posed no major issues.

However, blocking a Divinity Transformation expert's attack proved challenging.

The Star Sea elders all hid within the Void Cloud Whale. Though the flames nearly destroyed its Guardian Array, the array fortunately blocked all attacks.

Compared to them, Qingzhu Mountain's cultivators suffered misfortune.

The tidal wave of flames swept in, leaving them no time to evade. The overwhelming Divinity Transformation Stage power wiped out everyone, reducing them to ashes.

Only Qingzhu Mountain's Sect Leader, Ouyang Qi, barely resisted with his formidable power.

Even then, scorched marks covered his body.

"Nether Spirit Race, you breached the agreement!" Ouyang Qi angrily cursed at the flaming hand in the sky: "Bastard, we agreed earlier…"

"Silence!" The flaming hand flicked its pinky, sending a fireball the size of a dual-story building toward him.

Ouyang Qi wanted to dodge, but how could he evade a Divinity Transformation expert's attack?

Just as he raised his hand, he was engulfed by the massive fireball.

He couldn't even utter a scream; the renowned Divinity Transformation expert, a sect leader, perished without a trace, not even bone ash remaining.

After eliminating Ouyang Qi, the fireball continued its trajectory, hurtling toward the distant ground.

When the fireball exploded, Zheng Yi even saw a mushroom cloud.

This was the second time Zheng Yi witnessed Azure Moon Flame Emperor striking in fury.

The first time was in the Mountain Protection Array of Wenxian Temple; despite sensing the terrifying force in Azure Moon Flame Emperor's attack.

Most attacks were mitigated by Wenxian Temple's Mountain Protection Array.

Though this attack wasn't as powerful as the last, there wasn't the protection of the Mountain Protection Array.

The shockwave of the explosion alone made Zheng Yi feel as if he'd been punched hard.

The Void Cloud Whale was blown away by the explosion's shockwave, tumbling in the sky like an unchecked balloon.

The disciples of Star Sea aboard were tossed around like clothes in a washing machine, unable to stabilize.

Finally stopping, Wang Haiwong, disregarding everything, immediately commanded: "Leave here at once."

An elder beside him immediately objected: "No, Elder Lin and others are still fighting; we can't abandon them."

Wang Haiwong, in a frenzy, grabbed the opponent: "If you think so, then go fight that creature."

"We are Star Sea's elders; safeguarding Star Sea is our duty."

"Leave now!"

Seeing Wang Haiwong in a mania, none of the remaining elders dared provoke him, promptly ordering the Void Cloud Whale to flee the battlefield.

It slipped into the void, soon disappearing.

Witnessing this, Lin Junrong and the others didn't blame them but instead sighed in relief.

"Now we can let loose and have a proper battle with this creature." Yue Ping wielded her long spear, pointing at the flaming hand in the sky.

Lin Junrong nodded gravely: "Do not charge too recklessly, lest we can't support you."

Zheng Yi urgently advised them: "Do not fight to the death; as long as we can delay, that's victory for us. Fighting him now isn't worth it."

As everyone prepared for battle, the fiery giant hand suddenly vanished.

Exposing Azure Moon Flame Emperor's true body.

"How is this possible?"

Everyone changed expressions involuntarily.
