The Dark Clan's great hall.
Because the Dark Clan had suffered too many Quasi-Emperors losses before, several Emperors had even died.
Even if the Quasi-Emperors hadn't died, it would have been extremely difficult to discover Lu Ye.
Now that a portion was missing, Lu Ye's concealment rapidly increased.
The entire Dark Clan didn't even notice Lu Ye's arrival; Lu Ye's figure had already appeared above the great hall.
The entire great hall was silent, solemn, and majestic.
Lu Ye looked up at the tall sculpture.
Isn't it an insect? Why is it sculpted into a human form?
In his previous life, Lu Ye had never seen this statue, perhaps because the Dark Clan was worried Lu Ye would discover something and had never let him see it.
Lu Ye observed carefully.
The Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Escape had already begun to burn silently.
If he took the Dark Origin Insect Seal, it would definitely bring some danger.
However, he felt that a Quasi-Emperor couldn't kill him.
As for a Great Emperor...
Besides An Ri and An Xing, the Dark Clan also had a Dark Moon, but Dark Moon had never appeared in anyone's sight.
This Dark Moon should also be a Great Emperor, but this Great Emperor had a problem.
Lu Ye observed for a while, confirmed there were no issues, and without any further hesitation, his figure appeared in front of the statue, reaching for the red cloth covering the statue's eyes.
Lu Ye didn't know what color the cloth was before.
But now it looked stained red with blood, which should have been caused by the Nine Heavens Great Sage killing An Xing earlier.
He grabbed the red cloth with his hand and immediately pulled it open.
A black beam of light, without any warning, instantly shot forward.
The "Lu Ye" who had transformed into a soul state had a Quasi-Emperor's soul completely reduced to dust by this black beam of light.
The real Lu Ye appeared below the statue; through the black beam of light, he had already seen the statue's eyes. One eye was a human-like eyeball with emotions, while the other eyeball was amber-shaped, with countless markings like large and small insects imprinted on it.
The power of the black beam of light was incredibly terrifying; everything under the black beam of light was melting.
The entire Dark Clan was pierced through by the black beam of light.
This attack, Great Emperor?
It was definitely an attack of the Great Emperor level.
The entire Dark Clan was alarmed.
Lu Ye instantly extended his palm, forcing his way into the black light. His flesh and blood melted in an instant, revealing his jade-colored bones.
His bones were also rapidly shattering.
But Lu Ye's bone claw forcefully grabbed into the statue's eye socket, seized the eyeball containing the Dark Origin Insect Seal, and pulled it out with force.
It was at this moment that An Ri's face changed drastically. He didn't care about plundering the Forbidden Ground and rushed back to the Dark Clan at the fastest speed.
The normal eye, which was releasing the black light, looked at Lu Ye.
At this moment, the statue began to move.
The pressure of a Great Emperor permeated the air.
Lu Ye had already turned into a bloody light about to disappear, but Lu Ye felt as if the flow of time around him had slowed down.
But it didn't matter.
The Life and Rebirth Great Path instantly burned, assisting the Great Dao of Time. The originally slow flow of time instantly returned to normal. A giant hand had already covered the sky and earth, reaching out to grab Lu Ye.
Although the statue was clearly behind Lu Ye, this large hand appeared in front of Lu Ye to block his path.
Lu Ye knew that he could no longer hide his strength at this moment.
He suddenly clenched his fist. At this moment, the world within him trembled.
The Great Dao resonated in unison.
His physical body let out a sound like a tiger's roar.
All the Hongmeng Power surged towards his fist.
Even more was the power of that world.
"Celestial Venerable Fist!"
Lu Ye roared in his heart.
This punch was the one he hadn't thrown when he came out of seclusion last time. The power of this punch, even without being unleashed, was enough to make so many Quasi-Emperors feel terrified.
And now, it was unleashed.
Facing this statue, which was suspected to be a Great Emperor.
No, this statue was still not as strong as a Great Emperor.
It was more like it was originally a Great Emperor, but its Dao Fruit had been extracted and it had been refined into a puppet.
It wasn't as if Lu Ye hadn't reached the Great Emperor Realm in his previous life, so he wasn't unfamiliar with the Great Emperor level.
But even so, this was the strongest attack Lu Ye had faced alone since his rebirth.
Facing such an attack
A fist imprint streaked across the sky. Lu Ye, of course, also had to unleash his strongest attack.
He had originally planned to hold back and give the Dark Clan a surprise.
The entire Dark Clan felt incredibly terrified under this fist imprint. This punch was like the explosion of the sun.
The sun here was not the ordinary sun in the starry sky, but rather the Sun Star, one of the only two Taiyin Star and Sun Stars in Heaven and Earth.
Who is this?
The only remaining Quasi-Emperor of the Dark Clan, who was about to go forward, was so scared by this punch that cold sweat broke out all over his body.
His eyes were filled with terror.
What a terrifying punch!
This punch...
"Boom!"
Facing the hand that covered the sky, Lu Ye's fist imprint penetrated through like a rainbow, fiercely punching through the large hand.
Lu Ye's body was still burning with blood light. Using several escape secret techniques at once, he appeared outside the Dark Clan the instant he broke through the large hand.
He had just left the Dark Clan.
Lu Ye gasped violently, as if there was a ball of fire burning in his chest.
Just as he escaped from the Dark Clan, two figures had already appeared in front of Lu Ye.
One man and one woman.
Enveloped in black mist, the aura around them was distorted by strange energy.
As if they didn't belong to this world.
Lu Ye looked at them.
The man, a middle-aged man, had an ordinary appearance but gave off a feeling of not being angry but inherently imposing.
The Family Head of the Dark Clan, An Ri!
The woman, in a black dress, had a pure and beautiful face. Black seemed to complement her temperament even more.
Like a lotus rising from the mud without being stained, pure and not demonic.
Lu Ye knew her even better, to the point of being more familiar than he could be.
An Li.
Just a little bit.
If Lu Ye had come out a little later, he might have been trapped inside the Dark Clan.
At that time, Lu Ye might have lost a life inside.
However, wasn't everything just right?
Lu Ye had also calculated the time it would take for An Ri to return from the Forbidden Ground, and it was basically not much different.
Lu Ye's escape divine ability was such that only the strong individuals of the Dark Clan had a chance for one attack. If this attack didn't cripple him, then it would be completely fine for Lu Ye to escape even if he was severely injured.
Because outside the Dark Clan, there was the Nine Heavens Great Sage watching over him.
Just like now, even if he was face-to-face with An Ri, who was in the ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) Great Emperor Realm, what could he do?
Even if An Ri had a hundred or ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare to attack. As long as he attacked, his fate would be to be annihilated, and it wouldn't harm Lu Ye in the slightest.
Ah!
This was the full sense of security given by the Nine Heavens Great Sage!
