The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 925 Contempt

Chapter 925: Chapter 925 Contempt

Hearing this, the burly man known as the Great Venerable’s eyes flickered, and he spoke softly, "Let’s watch a little longer."

His gaze locked onto Donghuang Taiyi’s Chaos Bell, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes.

He recognized the extraordinary nature of the Chaos Bell at a glance, and greed began to rise in his heart.

The red-haired woman nodded slightly upon hearing this, and said no more.

A party of twelve stood atop the sea of clouds overlooking the battle. Their presence remained undetected, as they did not let any of their aura leak out.

Qiongqi had fallen into a frenzied state, being struck and sent flying by the Chaos Bell time and again yet still refusing to concede.

Its massive body hurtled through the void, creating storms that scattered dust in the air, and the gloomy world lit up as if in daylight under the radiance of the true sun fire. Even hundreds of miles away one could vaguely discern the figures of Qiongqi and the solar star.

"Roar—"

Qiongqi roared in fury, and after being knocked away yet again, it suddenly opened its mouth toward Donghuang Taiyi. In an instant, a black light column a hundred zhang in diameter burst forth, piercing the swirling dust clouds and striking the Chaos Bell directly, causing Donghuang Taiyi’s form to tremble, almost sending him flying.

Such immense strength this beast has!

A cold glint flashed in Donghuang Taiyi’s eyes, and a murderous intent rose in his heart.

Qiongqi was so powerful that he wanted to subdue it, but since the beast was so presumptuous, it could not blame him for being rude.

Hum—

The Chaos Bell suddenly rang out, scattering Qiongqi’s black light column.

At this moment, Patriarch Bodhi found an opportunity and, with a sudden exertion of his arms, the Dust Brush burst forth with intense light, flipping over the solar star. Donghuang Taiyi’s expression changed, and he stomped his foot instinctively, but then countless white strands launched from the surface of the solar star towards him, unafraid of the true sun fire, seeking to bind him.

Damn it!

Donghuang Taiyi clenched his teeth, his eyes flickered, prepared to detonate the solar star, but ultimately hesitated.

As time passed, his reason returned. If he dared to let the solar star explode, he would have done so already. The reason he did not was that he also did not want to perish. He knew best how much magical power and true sun fire the solar star contained; even he would be fatally injured or killed in such an explosion.

At this point, Qiongqi charged from the side, ramming its head into the solar star. Its black hair, like steel needles, did not fear the true sun fire and with sheer brute force, it sent the solar star flying.

Patriarch Bodhi finally broke free from suppression, half-kneeling in the ruins, sweat covering his face, while Donghuang Taiyi was also sent tumbling away, gripping the Chaos Bell tightly, his gaze angry as he looked toward Qiongqi.

"You infuriate me!"

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Qiongqi, his eyes brimming with towering killing intent. Patriarch Bodhi was already extremely troublesome, and just when he was close to defeating him, Qiongqi unexpectedly emerged.

It seems I can’t hold back anymore!

Donghuang Taiyi’s eyes turned icy, and although he did not want to make a move for the sake of the Nine Emperors, wanting to save the pinnacle figures of the Xuandang Great World, he was now truly enraged.

Both Patriarch Bodhi and Qiongqi must die!

Just as he was about to act, he suddenly sensed something and looked up sharply, his gaze falling on the figures standing above the sea of clouds in the sky. There stood twelve silhouettes!

Donghuang Taiyi’s pupils shrank, and he instinctively swept his Divine Consciousness over them, his face changing dramatically shortly after.

The dust swirled, and Patriarch Bodhi, gasping for breath, stood up and looked toward Donghuang Taiyi. Noticing something was amiss with him, he followed Donghuang Taiyi’s gaze, and the next second, his expression also froze.

Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, Xing Tian, and Perfected Person sensed something was wrong as well and turned their heads to look, their expressions turning ugly when they saw the twelve figures that resembled deities.

"What is that?"

Perfected Person frowned and asked. Although Xing Tian did not voice his shock, he could feel the strength of those twelve figures.

They were no less formidable than Donghuang Taiyi and Patriarch Bodhi.

"Could it be..."

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s eyes widened with fear.

Could they be the mighty beings from the Ancient Immortal Realm that Lou Nan mentioned?

As soon as he thought about this, Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s form began to tremble involuntarily. The power displayed by Donghuang Taiyi and Patriarch Bodhi would definitely incite fear in the Ancient Immortal Realm, and might even, like 130,000 years ago, provoke countless celestial beings to annihilate the Holy Court.

From afar, Lou Nan’s face was filled with despair as he floated in the air, murmuring, "It’s over... It’s completely over..."

He had thought it was a powerful being from the Ancient Immortal Realm, but to his surprise, there were twelve.

And they went by the name of Xuanxu...

Lou Nan seemed to recall something, his forehead slick with cold sweat, he practically spit out six words through clenched teeth: "The Twelve Venerables of Xuanxu!"

More and more mighty lords began to notice the Twelve Venerables of Xuanxu above the sea of clouds. Of course, they didn’t associate them with celestial beings and thought they were hidden experts making an appearance.

"Who are these distinguished figures?"

"They must be no ordinary beings. Didn’t you see the Demon Emperor and Patriarch Bodhi cease their battle?"

"My heavens, could it be that even stronger figures have appeared?"

"The Xuandang Great World is indeed unfathomably deep..."

"It seems our past glory was all a joke..."

The mighty lords were in a flurry of discussion, while the Nether Emperor, Sword Master, Yan Emperor, and Randeng were shivering with dread.

They were all Daluo beginners in cultivation, and when their Divine Consciousness swept over the Twelve Venerables of Xuanxu, it was like encountering thorns; their souls were in extreme agony, indicating that the cultivation of the Twelve Venerables of Xuanxu was far superior to theirs.

"Another entering the realm of the sage realm..." Randeng said with a bitter smile.

He was almost driven mad, now his cultivation was too weak. If he could regain the peak cultivation of his past life, he wouldn’t be so helpless.

At the same time, he also realized that Donghuang Taiyi probably hadn’t reached the heights of his past life either.

Otherwise, those in the realm of the sage would be like ants to Donghuang Taiyi.

In his past life, he was a sage realm being as well, even if he had not reached the sage realm in this life, his vision remained.

"Why aren’t you continuing?"

The Great Venerable’s voice suddenly rang through heaven and earth, a vast oppressive force swept across all lands, centering on Juetian Plain; the territory within a hundred realms was engulfed by this oppressive force.

Donghuang Taiyi’s expression turned ice-cold, and Patriarch Bodhi also looked solemn as he faced the Twelve Venerables of Xuanxu.

"This aura... it feels so familiar..."

Black Butterfly Fairy furrowed her brows and murmured; after a moment of reflection, her beautiful eyes widened in realization.

The aura present when Divine Wuji performed the God Summoning Technique was very similar to that of the Twelve Venerables of Xuanxu.

Could it be...

As soon as she considered this possibility, Black Butterfly Fairy began to shiver, the shadows of 130,000 years ago looming once again over her heart.

"Who are you!"

Donghuang Taiyi asked sternly without a hint of fear. The presence of these people was strong, but not so much that he saw them as unbeatable.

With the Chaos Clock, who was he to fear?

"You are worthy to know our names?"

A man beside the Great Venerable sneered, the left half of his face was blue, giving off an extremely dreadful appearance.

The contemptuous tone caused a flicker of killing intent within Donghuang Taiyi’s eyes.

"Hmph! Then you can all go to die!"

With a cold snort, Donghuang Taiyi beckoned with his right hand, and the Sun Star, sent flying dozens of miles away by Qiongqi, returned once more.

He swept his right hand upward, and the Sun Star, with a diameter of ten thousand feet, hurtled towards the Twelve Venerables of Xuanxu. The true solar fire surged with the wind, unstoppable in its advance.
