Chapter 2329: Chapter 2328: Human Emperor’s Majesty, Inviolable
The scorching sunlight shone down on the earth through the atmosphere.
Below, the world simultaneously saw two suns appear.
One was the sun of this star domain, and the other was the sun condensed from the true form of the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable.
The crowd wailed, as the scorching heat quickly raised the temperature on the ground.
Some of the metal people on the street glanced up, their entire bodies instantly melted by the scorching sunlight.
Steel melted, and the city was collapsing.
Buildings burned, and the crowds screamed miserably in the streets, soon evaporating to fall, dried, to the ground.
Half of the planet’s water evaporated upward, turning the area below into a sauna-like chamber.
Wang Xiaoya shouted sharply, "If you want to kill me, why deal with the ordinary people below?"
The Golden Crow Celestial Venerable’s eyes were icy as he coldly replied, "If you give me the Xuanyuan Sword, I need not do this."
Wang Xiaoya furrowed her brows but heard Long Fei secretly convey a message.
She raised her hand, threw the Xuanyuan Sword to the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable, and said, "Take it!"
The eyes of the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable and the Eight Celestial Venerables narrowed simultaneously, reaching out at once to grab the blood-red Divine Sword.
He laughed sharply in the air, "This opportunity is mine!"
"Snatch it!"
The Eight Celestial Venerables shouted simultaneously, about to act.
The Golden Crow Celestial Venerable threw out a golden feather robe, already wrapped around the Human Emperor Sword.
He swiftly retrieved the feather robe with a hand raised.
"Are you trying to compete with me?"
The Golden Crow Celestial Venerable glanced sideways at the Eight Celestial Venerables, who suddenly paused, sensing something amiss.
At this moment, a boom suddenly erupted from the chest of the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable.
Indeed, the sword’s energy from the Xuanyuan Sword easily tore the feather robe to shreds, sending the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable flying.
The Golden Dragon Celestial Venerable snorted coldly, "As expected!"
"We were all wrong; the might of the Human Emperor is untouchable. The Human Emperor Sword is not an opportunity for our Demon Clan."
The White Feather Celestial Venerable nodded calmly, as if releasing a burden in his heart, his whole being becoming more relaxed.
Even the greedy Yellow Robe Celestial Venerable exclaimed, "Even the golden feather robe from the Golden Crow Clan can’t contain it; my cassock is no disgrace."
The other Celestial Venerables sighed, "We have taken a wrong path."
"Indeed, we didn’t gain any opportunity but provoked a major cause and effect."
"Will the people below come out soon?"
"What is there to fear? When the time comes, let’s face him together! If he wants a fight, we brothers will just go all out against him."
The Nine-Headed Lion feigned vigor, but inwardly, he felt apprehensive facing someone who could wield the Xuanyuan Sword.
The sword emitted a blood-red glow, hanging in the void.
It seemed like the Human Emperor reborn, with the might of an emperor over the world, coldly overlooking this universe.
The Golden Crow Celestial Venerable cried out, recovering the fragments of the golden feather robe, and shouted ominously at the Xuanyuan Sword, "What of the Human Emperor? You’re on a path of no return; can you possibly come back?"
His golden wings swept up, rapidly casting a sky-covering hand seal around the Human Emperor Sword.
A black vortex instantly swallowed the Xuanyuan Sword.
Inside, the Space Law surged, relentlessly grinding on the sword’s body, spiraling to strip and decompose the killing aura from the sword’s surface.
The void before them trembled momentarily.
The Eight Celestial Venerables retreated one after another, no longer interested in the Xuanyuan Sword, staying only to watch the spectacle.
Suddenly, a cry resounded as a ray of red sword light burst from the black vortex, slashing fiercely at the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable.
This light seemed to span time and space, emerging from the river of ancient times, tracing a red sword aura in the air that fell upon the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable.
This was the Sword of Time Law, not a sword of reality.
It could only reverse time, obstructing in the past.
The Golden Crow Celestial Venerable, being the essence of the sun, mastered space proficiency. Only the essence of the moon excelled at the Law of Time.
Before this Sword of Time, the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable had no choice but to summon his life-saving treasure, the Fusang Divine Tree.
A divine tree with flame-like branches and leaves, resembling a great umbrella, shielded the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable overhead.
Each leaf emitted a fiery glow, protecting the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable within.
The sword’s time aura came down, effortlessly passing through the Fusang Tree, slicing across the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable.
The Golden Crow Celestial Venerable cried out miserably; his body remained unharmed, but his entire being seemed to have aged tens of thousands of years.
He howled skyward, "Xuanyuan, you’ve cut off tens of thousands of my life years with a single sword; it’s time to stop!"
The Sword of Time did not cut the body, only life essence.
With this cut, tens of thousands of his life years and cultivation had been scattered.
The Eight Celestial Venerables looked on in horror, seeing his cultivation fall rapidly from the Middle Celestial Venerable to the Minor Celestial Venerate Realm.
Everyone was chilled to the core, raising fists toward the world below and shouting, "We won’t contend for this opportunity any longer; apologies!"
The eight of them dared not remain idly for another moment.
The Golden Crow Celestial Venerable also cast an evil glance at Wang Xiaoya, his whole body plunging into darkness, vanishing from sight.
In the universe, countless celestial venerables from various star domains were in awe.
The Human Celestial Venerables especially sighed in unison, "The might of the Human Emperor is not to be provoked!"
Wang Xiaoya finally breathed a sigh of relief, curling her body, squatting cross-legged in the void.
She had only managed to wield the Xuanyuan Sword for five to six strikes, all her essence, qi, and spirit completely consumed by the sword.
Fortunately, the sword was divine and did not cut her down.
The suns in the sky vanished, finally plunging the planet below into night.
The moisture recently evaporated from the sky condensed into droplets below the atmosphere, immediately resulting in a torrential downpour.
The commanders under the shelter of Today’s Mine City each breathed a sigh of relief.
Victor and Alida rejoiced loudly, "We won."
The turmoil caused by the Eight Celestial Venerables and the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable here made other Celestial Venerables reconsider their intentions.
Being ancient monsters of tens of thousands of years, they didn’t mind the short delay.
They were watching and waiting to see how strong Long Fei would become upon emerging.
If he emerged unimpressively, they would consider attacking him.
In secret, Celestial Venerables speculated that the Xuanyuan Sword had now acknowledged a master.
Perhaps only by killing Long Fei could this Divine Sword truly be obtained.
As days passed, Wang Xiaoya protected Long Fei while enhancing her own cultivation.
Anti-matter propulsion systems across the planet progressed steadily, massive furnaces rising like huge chimneys from the ground.
The City Lord constantly inspected these areas, inwardly murmuring that this planetary transformation plan was an unprecedented undertaking in this star domain.
What spacecraft could be more durable than an entire planet?
If they could follow Long Fei into the former Immortal King Palace, they would undoubtedly find their own fortuitous encounters!
The half-year construction period passed swiftly.
News arrived from the Shattered Starfield that someone had encountered Chu Feng and his people in the Overlord Star Domain.
They were being pursued by the disciples of the Golden Crow Celestial Venerable, hiding within a Secret Realm, their fate unknown.
The informant brought a dog’s tail, a piece of cow horn, and a severed arm, showing the marks of the Bald Dog, Da Heiniu, and Wang Jie.
Wang Xiaoya, anxious outside, paced, unsure when Long Fei would break through this barrier.
She pondered whether she should go herself, to help as much as possible.
Meanwhile, Victor entered the secret chamber from above, anxiously informing her, "Mistress, it’s terrible, terrible; the sky is filled with dark clouds again, as if something else is coming."
Wang Xiaoya raised an eyebrow, following him outside.
Above, dark clouds pressed down, descending to within a thousand meters of the ground.
The thick clouds, rubbing against each other, generated massive golden lightning, roaring and raging like a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, continually emitting thunderous booms that made the ground tremble and shake.
