He surveyed his surroundings. The strongest among them was only at the ninth heaven of the Great Accomplishment Void Realm. In contrast, Mingzhi Tian was merely at the Divine Emperor Realm, and the Eternal Emperor's cultivation was imperceptible, likely below the Divine Emperor Realm, making him unworthy of consideration.
First, he directed his oppressive aura at Mingzhi Tian, who felt his knees weaken. Hou then shifted his pressure onto Hong Xuan Tian Di.
With a questioning tone, he asked, "Did you kill Yi Li Sheng?"
The Eternal Emperor casually dispelled the pressure of the Great Accomplishment Void Realm and conjured the Primordial Divine Artifact, the Soul-Shattering Sword, from the void.
Sensing his own exerted pressure being instantly dissolved, Hou involuntarily turned his gaze back to Mingzhi Tian and the Eternal Emperor, a faint smile gracing his lips:
"Interesting. It seems you used despicable means to kill Yi Li Sheng when he wasn't paying attention."
The Eternal Emperor detested idle chatter. He horizontally swung his sword, gathering power!
Feeling the arrival of death, Hou instantly unleashed the Longevity Art: "Ascension Eternal!"
An invisible barrier formed from condensed energy instantly enveloped him. A sound like "crack... clang..." was heard.
The Eternal Emperor's Soul-Shattering Sword instantly disintegrated both him and his shield, killing him on the spot!
If it took nine parts of his strength to kill Yi Li Sheng with his bare hands earlier, then wielding the sword now took only three.
The scent of blood permeated the entire Longevity Sect, thoroughly disturbing the quiet cultivation of all immortals and gods.
"You have successively killed two of my disciples and one saint, aren't you being a bit too arrogant? Do you not have my Longevity Sect in your eyes?"
Two beams of white immortal energy flew forth, and two figures instantly appeared within everyone's sight.
A man and a woman, their immortal energy exuded a transcendent aura, having long since transcended the mortal realm. The Eternal Emperor glanced up with a thoughtful expression: "Oh? Ultimate Realm? Finally, two worthy individuals have arrived."
Ru Yi Jin Fei regarded the Eternal Emperor with a critical eye: "You actually know we are in the Ultimate Realm and haven't fled? You are indeed a person of some caliber. I am the Great Holy Lord, Ru Yi Jin Fei, and beside me is the Second Holy Lord, Ji Xiang Qian Ren. State your reasons for killing our saint and disciple, and this Holy Lord will consider granting you a dignified death."
The Eternal Emperor replied indifferently, "You think you are worthy?"
Ji Xiang Qian Ren summoned his Divine Calamity level artifact: "Thunderous Lasso, Myriad Thunders Shatter!"
The Eternal Emperor instantly flicked his wrist and unleashed a slash! Aimed at the two of them!
Ru Yi Jin Fei simultaneously summoned her Divine Calamity level artifact. The two of them braced themselves to resist! The three were locked in a stalemate: "Is that all?"
The Eternal Emperor let out a cold snort, then channeled his Immortal Spirit power to enhance his attack, swinging his sword once more! "Get out of the way!"
"Boom! Ugh..."
The two were sent flying backward, injured by the sword energy!
Hong Xuan Tian Di looked on in disbelief: "The Ultimate Realm has also been defeated?"
"Who… who exactly are you?"
The Eternal Emperor raised his sword to strike: "The one who will kill you."
"You dare?!"
Suddenly, a roar echoed through the sky, followed by a spell: "Wretched beast, cease your rampaging! Longevity is without Dao, all beings multiply and look down!"
The Eternal Emperor blocked with his sword! "RUMBLE..."
Mingzhi Tian and the others were repelled by the aftermath! Hong Xuan Tian Di hurriedly protected them! Only then were they able to remain safe.
"Heavens, what… what level of battle is this?" Yun Yan couldn't help but exclaim.
The Eternal Emperor said to Mingzhi Tian: "Kid, you all retreat five hundred feet. I sense two more big fellows approaching."
Mingzhi Tian nodded: "Old Qian, be careful."
The Eternal Emperor replied, "Them? I haven't put them in my eyes yet."
"Holy King!" Ru Yi Jin Fei and Ji Xiang Qian Ren exclaimed as if they had seen a savior.
The Great Holy King, Kai Kuo Sheng, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Eternal Emperor: "Did you injure my Longevity Sect's Great Holy Lord and Second Holy Lord?"
