Chapter 271 The Venerable must take action to ensure that there is no risk!

“Li Xuanfeng!”

Corpse Puppet Emperor and the others looked at him with gloomy expressions.

If they were very confident about dealing with Li Xuanfeng just now, then after God Diviner’s Divine Sense transmitted the words “death tribulation,” they completely lost their certainty.

In terms of mentality, they were inherently at a disadvantage.

Whoosh!

A long spear tore through the air, like a comet streaking across the sky, shooting towards the edge of the Golden Emperor Bell’s internal space.

Extinction Spear Emperor made the first Move, but it wasn't aimed at Li Xuanfeng; rather, he wanted to break the spatial封锁 and escape from this place.

Buzz!

Endless Chaotic Mist surged out from an unknown place, rapidly weakening the terrifying power carried by the long spear.

Ultimately, as the long spear neared the bell body, its power was exhausted, failing to cause any ripples.

“Attack together!”

Extinction Spear Emperor’s expression was grim.

With just one Move, he knew that Li Xuanfeng’s strength was even more formidable than the rumors from Refining City suggested.

“Kill!”

Ghost Axe Emperor raised his giant axe, wreathed in black mist, and brought it down on Li Xuanfeng’s head.

A long spear flew in from the side, aiming directly for Li Xuanfeng’s waist and abdomen.

A magnificent fiery lotus condensed at some point, striking towards the back of Li Xuanfeng’s head.

Corpse Puppet Emperor’s whip-kick descended from above, and his pale, corpse-like Puppet blocked Li Xuanfeng’s retreat from below.

The four Emperor Realm powerhouses attacking together could annihilate an Emperor Realm Middle Stage Cultivator in an instant!

Li Xuanfeng was enveloped in Chaotic Mist, and purple lightning suddenly erupted around him.

Whoosh!

The lightning streaked out, easily passing through the gaps in their encirclement, piercing their Divine Sense封锁, and stopping above God Diviner’s head.

Lightning Escape Technique!

“Old man, since you’ve calculated your own death tribulation, then don’t resist!”

Li Xuanfeng’s faint voice rang out, and his large hand covered God Diviner’s crown.

Buzz!

God Diviner trembled all over, his eye sockets sunken, his mouth wide open, yet he couldn't make a sound.

At the center of his brows, it seemed as if something was being forcibly extracted.

“Ah!!!”

A tragic Divine Sense fluctuation spread out, and God Diviner seemed to be undergoing immense torture.

He felt his Domain being forcibly torn out of his Sea of Consciousness space by an extremely overbearing, barbaric, and unreasonable violent method.

His Soul power surged frantically, wanting to contend for control of the Domain. God Diviner would rather self-detonate his Domain than let Li Xuanfeng succeed.

Unfortunately, under Li Xuanfeng’s self-created new Martial Skill, he had no choice.

As the master of the Domain, he actually fell into an absolute disadvantage during the process of contending with Li Xuanfeng for control of his own Domain!

“Come out!”

As Li Xuanfeng let out a cold shout, Corpse Puppet Emperor and the others were instantly horrified to see that God Diviner’s Domain was actually forcibly dug out of his Sea of Consciousness space behind his brows by Li Xuanfeng!

The vast Domain, which originally covered an area of 420,000 li, was grasped by Li Xuanfeng, transforming into a Palm World.

“What?!”

Extinction Spear Emperor almost popped his eyeballs out.

Corpse Puppet Emperor, Dazzling Emperor, and Ghost Axe Emperor were not much better off than him, looking at the Domain in Li Xuanfeng’s hand with faces full of horror.

A Domain is a power cultivated by Cultivators themselves, a private possession belonging to the Cultivator that cannot be interfered with by outsiders, let alone have its control seized.

Originally, in the intelligence they knew, Li Xuanfeng’s Move that could forcibly sever the connection between the Soul and the Domain with a single sword strike was already astonishing enough.

They hadn't expected him to have an even more terrifying method that could forcibly dig out a Cultivator’s Domain from their Sea of Consciousness space!

“Li Xuanfeng, what kind of Move is this?”

God Diviner’s Domain was forcibly stripped away, his Soul severely wounded, and his Aura became weak. His strength had actually fallen to the King Realm.

Li Xuanfeng did not answer. God Diviner’s Domain floated and sank in his palm. At this moment, he looked like a deity holding up a vast world in one hand.

“This Move… let’s call it Palm World!”

Li Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and gave the Move a name.

Although he had successfully created this Move before, he had not named it.

“Refine!”

Li Xuanfeng’s heart stirred, and Chaotic Mist surged from his palm, permeating into the Palm World.

“Li Xuanfeng, what secrets do you have?”

“I have been immersed in the Dao of deduction and divination for thousands of years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a special existence as you. I couldn’t deduce any useful information. Can you give me a hint so I can die in peace?”

God Diviner’s Divine Sense surged.

“Old man, since you’ve already calculated your own death tribulation, you should accept it calmly. Why so many questions? Go on your way with your regrets. My secrets are not something you are qualified to pry into!”

Li Xuanfeng flipped his palm, and the Palm World covered God Diviner.

God Diviner was instantly like a monkey unable to escape the Buddha’s Five Finger Mountain, being taken into the Palm World by Li Xuanfeng. The surging Chaotic Mist enveloped him, eroding him into ashes.

God Diviner, fallen!

“It’s your turn!”

Li Xuanfeng held up the Domain that was being refined in one hand and turned to look at Corpse Puppet Emperor and the other three.

“Kill!”

The four of them looked extremely solemn and once again attacked Li Xuanfeng together.

God Diviner predicted Li Xuanfeng would appear here, and it came true.

God Diviner said he saw his own death tribulation, and it also came true; he couldn't escape it.

God Diviner also saw the death tribulations of the four of them. Although the four were attacking Li Xuanfeng with all their might, their hearts had already grown cold by half.

“Four old dogs, since you know your death tribulation has arrived, why struggle!”

Golden light and Chaos intertwined, Li Xuanfeng fought against the four great Emperor Realm Cultivators alone.

“Li Xuanfeng, today is your death tribulation, not ours!”

“Do you really think a mere King Realm Cultivator can turn the world upside down in front of us?!”

Corpse Puppet Emperor shouted loudly, controlling his Puppet to launch a fierce attack on Li Xuanfeng.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrifying power swept in all directions. Long spears, giant axes, fiery lotuses, Puppets—each royal dao weapon erupted with dazzling light, filling the entire internal spatial world!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Golden Emperor Bell vibrated violently, seemingly unable to withstand the terrifying attacks, as if it was constantly on the verge of shattering.

“Suppress!”

From the surging energy where Chaos and golden light intertwined, Li Xuanfeng’s loud shout rang out.

“Roar!!!”

The artifact spirit golden Dragon let out a long cry, and the brilliant golden emperor bell’s power surged.

Li Xuanfeng fully activated the power of the Golden Emperor Bell, and Corpse Puppet Emperor and the other three instantly had their Physical Bodies crack and Souls tremble.

“No one hold back!”

“A death tribulation is not necessarily a fatal situation; there is a glimmer of hope even in desperation. As long as we kill Li Xuanfeng, we can seize his good fortune, rise against Heaven, and ascend to Heaven from a desperate situation!”

In the space where brilliant energy erupted, Corpse Puppet Emperor’s frantic voice rang out. Releasing his Domain, he rushed forward with his Puppet, attacking Li Xuanfeng recklessly.

Extinction Spear Emperor, Ghost Axe Emperor, and Dazzling Emperor were infected by his desperate Aura and all burst forth with their full power, beginning to fight Li Xuanfeng to the death.

“Four old dogs, today I will send you on your way!”

Golden light was brilliant, Chaos surged, and lightning exploded. Li Xuanfeng also held nothing back, wielding the Qingming Sword. The Heavenly Sword Drawing Technique, which had been pushed to a Royal Grade top-tier Martial Skill, roared out towards the four of them.

“Self-detonate your Domains, don’t let his Move strike you, or you’ll all be making wedding clothes for him!”

Corpse Puppet Emperor’s shout was like thunder.

After speaking, his Domain surged, ready to self-detonate first.

“Old dog of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, stop pretending. If you were going to explode, you would have already!”

Li Xuanfeng’s mocking voice rang out, and the Heavenly Sword Drawing Technique was the first to strike him.

This Move was an upgraded version of the Heavenly Sword Drawing Technique combined with the Separation Sword Technique, which had been elevated to a Royal Grade top-tier Martial Skill with the help of the enlightenment state. Now, Li Xuanfeng had even integrated lightning power into it. How could Corpse Puppet Emperor resist it!

“Ah!”

“Damn it!”

“How can your Move be so strong?!”

Corpse Puppet Emperor let out a painful wail.

He had long been wary of Li Xuanfeng’s Separation Sword Technique, yet even with full preparations, he still couldn't resist it.

His Physical Body, Soul, and Domain were all cut in half!

Of course, the connection between his Soul and Domain was also forcibly severed.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two more sword slashes tore through the air, and the connections of Ghost Axe Emperor’s and Dazzling Emperor’s Domains were also severed.

Buzz!

Extinction Spear Emperor’s thought stirred, and he no longer self-detonated, hastily retracting his Domain.

A large hand reached out, invisible power enveloped his Sea of Consciousness space, attempting to forcibly strip away his Domain.

“Dream on!”

Extinction Spear Emperor’s expression was ferocious. He was not God Diviner; he would not let Li Xuanfeng easily strip away his Domain and make wedding clothes for him.

Li Xuanfeng remained silent, one hand forcibly digging, the other swinging his sword to strike. With a combination of digging and slashing, he finally brutally tore out Extinction Spear Emperor’s Domain, which then floated quietly in his palm.

“Ah!”

Extinction Spear Emperor seemed to have suffered an immense blow, clutching his head and wailing in agony.

With Palm World combined with the Heavenly Sword Drawing Technique, how could he resist?

“An Emperor Realm Late Stage Cultivator plus three Emperor Realm Middle Stage Cultivators, yet you are so weak. It truly makes me lose interest.”

Li Xuanfeng looked at the four of them indifferently.

He hadn't actually expected to encounter these few people here at first, as checking his own fate color with the System hadn't shown any change towards grey or black.

So, the moment he sensed them, Li Xuanfeng understood that these few people combined could not pose a threat to him.

Emperor Realm Late Stage Cultivators were not as powerful as he had imagined, or rather, Corpse Puppet Emperor was not as powerful as he had imagined.

An Emperor Realm Late Stage Cultivator should have more strength than this. Li Xuanfeng always felt there was something wrong with Corpse Puppet Emperor.

“My current strength should be close to Emperor Realm Peak, but not comparable to a true Emperor Realm Peak.”

Li Xuanfeng thought to himself.

The four of them gave him a rough estimate of his own strength. He indeed held an absolute advantage throughout, but he held nothing back; what he displayed now was his full strength.

The reason it seemed easy was due to two other factors: first, his Moves were all too abnormal and unusual.

A Domain is the hallmark power of King Realm and Emperor Realm Cultivators. Once lost, one’s strength would plummet by at least fifty to sixty percent!

Fighting Li Xuanfeng, they were destined to be unable to unleash their full strength; their Domains were effectively useless.

Chaotic Mist could also erode all power, creating a suppression of their very being.

The second reason was that Corpse Puppet Emperor’s strength was problematic. His performance was indeed much stronger than the three Emperor Realm Middle Stage Cultivators, but an Emperor Realm Late Stage Cultivator should not only have this much capability.

All these factors combined made Li Xuanfeng appear very relaxed.

“Li Xuanfeng, even if I die today, I will still take a piece of flesh from you!”

Corpse Puppet Emperor had a fierce expression. His main body rushed towards Li Xuanfeng with his Puppet, and the energy instantly became incredibly chaotic and violent.

He wanted to self-detonate his Physical Body and Soul. Even if he couldn't kill Li Xuanfeng, he would at least injure him.

“You dog, you’ve been acting from the start. Do you really think I don’t know you can’t die?”

Li Xuanfeng sneered, showing no intention of stopping Corpse Puppet Emperor from self-detonating.

Corpse Puppet Emperor, who had initially looked fierce, resolute, and ready to die heroically, had his pupils contract. He couldn't understand how Li Xuanfeng had seen through this.

From the moment God Diviner said he saw their death tribulation, Corpse Puppet Emperor knew that Li Xuanfeng’s strength had once again exceeded his imagination.

Sure enough, the four of them combined were no match for Li Xuanfeng. Li Xuanfeng’s strength could already barely rival an Emperor Realm Peak Cultivator.

No matter how much Corpse Puppet Emperor coveted the secrets on his body before, at this moment, he had completely given up the idea and only wanted to save his life.

He definitely couldn't defeat Li Xuanfeng in a fight, and this space was sealed, so he couldn't escape either.

The four of them were destined for death.

But Corpse Puppet Emperor understood that he still had a glimmer of hope.

He had spent his entire life researching life-saving methods, which was why he had been able to give God Diviner a substitute Corpse Puppet earlier.

But how could he not keep such an important item for himself!

What Corpse Puppet Emperor gave God Diviner was actually not a complete product. He himself had only successfully refined one true complete product.

That substitute Corpse Puppet could truly die in his place, giving him an extra life!

Or rather, the so-called “main body” of Corpse Puppet Emperor in front of Li Xuanfeng was actually the substitute Corpse Puppet he had refined!

Because it was too perfect and indistinguishable from his main body, no one had seen through the flaw.

Even Li Xuanfeng hadn't noticed anything amiss.

The reason Li Xuanfeng knew Corpse Puppet Emperor wouldn't die was by using the System to observe the color of his fate.

Extinction Spear Emperor, Ghost Axe Emperor, and Dazzling Emperor were all entangled in dense black, which was a sign of impending death.

But Corpse Puppet Emperor’s fate color was dark gray!

“Go to hell!”

Although he didn't know how Li Xuanfeng had learned his secret, Corpse Puppet Emperor still decisively chose to self-detonate.

His face was ferocious, and his “main body” and Puppet body simultaneously expanded to their limits.

“Don’t worry, you can’t escape. I will find you!”

Li Xuanfeng’s faint voice echoed in Corpse Puppet Emperor’s ear.

The next moment.

Boom!!!

Corpse Puppet Emperor’s “main body” and Puppet body exploded simultaneously, releasing incredibly terrifying power. This was the strongest force he could unleash after losing his Domain.

However, the endless Chaotic Mist seemed to liquefy, first forming a set of armor on Li Xuanfeng, then rapidly devouring the aftermath of the explosion.

His Peak strike did not affect Li Xuanfeng in the slightest, but instead affected the other three, Extinction Spear Emperor.

“Pfft!”

At the same time, in a secret room in an incredibly distant place, Corpse Puppet Emperor’s true main body suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his Aura extremely weak.

“Li Xuanfeng!!!”

Corpse Puppet Emperor’s eyes turned red, and he screamed Li Xuanfeng’s name hysterically.

“Don’t worry, you can’t escape. I will find you!”

Li Xuanfeng’s faint voice seemed to still echo in his ears.

“Hmph!”

“Finding me? Simply wishful thinking!”

Corpse Puppet Emperor’s expression was gloomy.

This time, his losses were considerable.

To make the substitute Corpse Puppet more like his main body, he split half of his Soul and integrated it into it, and even placed his Domain on the substitute Corpse Puppet, which led to a severe division of his strength.

This time, to save his life, he lost his royal dao Domain and half of his Soul. The cost was immeasurable!

The only thing worth celebrating was that he saved his life.

“Li Xuanfeng must die!”

“But I can’t kill him!”

“To kill him and eliminate future troubles, being one major Realm higher than him isn’t enough; it must be two major Realms higher!”

“With the strength he has displayed now, an Emperor Realm Peak Cultivator has a certain probability of killing him, and an Emperor Ranking powerhouse can absolutely kill him!”

“But this is not foolproof. I cannot make similar mistakes again. A Venerable must make a Move to ensure absolute safety!”
