Chapter 446: Invincible Below the Quasi-Emperor? Then What Am I?

Emperor Yao Palace.

An ancient Forbidden Land.

Runes permeated the Void Realm, and Restrictions were everywhere.

This was the Emperor Yao Palace's top secret location, and also the retreat of the Emperor Yao Palace Master, Di Wuming.

For many years.

Di Wuming had remained inside, seeking a Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

This was the Emperor Yao Palace's top priority.

No one was allowed near this place without permission.

Even the several Young Emperors were subject to this rule.

But now.

They all appeared simultaneously above this Forbidden Land, their expressions solemn as they looked down.

They saw.

A crack had appeared on the originally Perfect and flawless Restriction, though they didn't know when.

That crack was extremely minuscule.

If one was not completely focused, it would be impossible to detect.

But it definitely existed.

"What's going on? How could this Restriction have a crack?"

"When did this happen?"

"…"

Everyone looked shocked.

Lin Yan stood among the crowd, saying solemnly, "Last time, when I passed by from afar, I felt a trace of unusual Qi, and it felt very familiar."

Di Bailian said in surprise, "Familiar?"

Lin Yan nodded and said seriously, "That is the Qi of the Soul Race! I have dealt with them many times when I was in the Northern Region!"

Di Qinglian said with a serious expression, "You mean someone from the Soul Race snuck in?"

"The possibility is high!"

"Then isn't Father extremely dangerous?" Di Bailian showed a worried expression.

Di Qinglian shook his head, looking certain: "No, Father's strength is immense. How could a mere hidden scoundrel hurt him? Even if someone did sneak in, they would be nothing more than an ant before Father… What I worry about now is that the person from the Soul Race might affect Father's Breakthrough!"

"Then what should we do now? Go in and check?"

"Go in? How do we get in? This Restriction was personally set up by Father. How could we possibly have the strength to enter?"

As soon as he said this.

Everyone looked troubled.

"Right, Big Brother, didn't Father leave us a Magical Artifact before he went into Closed-door cultivation?" Di Bailian suddenly remembered something and said.

Di Qinglian nodded, "Father said he granted it to us because he was worried we might encounter unsolvable trouble while he was in Closed-door cultivation! It can only be used at a critical life-or-death moment, and it can awaken Father from his Closed-door cultivation…"

"But if we use this Magical Artifact, wouldn't Father's Breakthrough be equivalent to failure?"

Instantly, everyone fell silent.

They seemed unable to find a solution.

Lin Yan shook his head and said, "Everyone, I fear you underestimate the strength of the Soul Race! Precisely because your Father is so powerful, if the Soul Race dared to send someone to act against him, they must have made thorough preparations!

Not to mention that your Father has not yet achieved a Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Even if he had truly broken through, the situation would still be extremely dangerous right now!

I suggest we wake him up; at the very least, we need to confirm his safety!"

"Absolutely not!"

Di Qinglian was resolute, "What if Father is at a crucial moment in his Breakthrough, and we startle him, causing the Breakthrough to fail? What kind of sin would that be? Who can bear that responsibility?"

Lin Yan still wanted to persuade them.

But the people of the Emperor Yao Palace had made up their minds.

They absolutely refused to wake Di Wuming.

Di Bailian was somewhat moved.

But in such a major affair, she clearly had no say in front of her elder brothers… *Rumble!*

Just then, the earth shook and the sky trembled.

A dense Demonic Qi rushed straight into the sky, obscuring the heavens and covering the sun.

A terrifying pressure spread out from below like a tide, causing everyone's expression to change drastically, and their bodies to descend repeatedly.

A gigantic phantom image of a Blue Lotus bloomed between heaven and earth.

In the center of the Blue Lotus.

A tall, imposing figure with white hair flowing appeared slowly.

"Father has come out of Closed-door cultivation!"

Di Qinglian and the others were filled with pleasant surprise.

Only Lin Yan felt an increasingly strong sense of dread in his heart.

He stared intently into the distance.

Di Wuming's face showed no sign of high spirits; he looked at everyone, his brows subtly concealing pain, and his lips moved as if speaking something.

Lin Yan looked at the shape of his mouth; was it "Run quickly"?

In an instant.

A chill spread throughout Lin Yan's body.

He roared, "Run! Something is wrong!"

However.

It was already too late.

Di Wuming slowly raised his hand and grabbed into the Void Realm.

Bang!

A figure instantly exploded on the spot, blood splattering, their Divine Soul dissipating, dying tragically right there!

Only pure Origin remained.

It transformed into a streak of light and was swallowed by Di Wuming.

"Fifth Brother!"

"Fifth Younger Brother!"

"…"

This sudden scene caused everyone's expressions to change.

Immediately after.

There were two more bangs!

The Fourth and Third Young Emperors simultaneously died tragically, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, their Origin being devoured.

"This Physical Body, I'm really not used to it…"

"Di Wuming" whispered, stiffly twisted his neck, raised his hand, and pressed down fiercely.

Rumble.

Runes densely covered the area, forming a giant palm that obscured the heavens and the sun, making it impossible to breathe.

This palm strike.

Encompassed everyone who remained.

Before it even landed.

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, the ground collapsed, mountains burst apart, terrifying magma surged from underground, countless massive broken stones splattered, and rumbling sounds were incessant.

Countless Yao Race creatures were annihilated at this moment.

Even after death, their Origin was extracted.

It truly looked like a scene from the apocalypse.

Bang! Bang!

In an instant, two more of the remaining six Young Emperors perished.

Lin Yan immediately let Dan Xuan take over his Physical Body.

Then he pulled out an ancient Talisman and tore it directly open.

It transformed into a massive dome, just managing to protect himself and Di Bailian, who was closest to him.

But clearly, it could only last for a moment.

Even Di Qinglian, whose cultivation was the highest, reaching the Eighth Tribulation Realm, had his Physical Body covered in cracks, finding it hard to sustain himself and about to perish in a flash.

His eyes were bloodshot.

He hadn't even processed how he had suddenly encountered such a catastrophe.

Just then.

A rift suddenly tore open in the Void Realm.

A golden light burst forth from it, instantly dispelling the darkness.

"It seems I am still a little late."

A faint sigh sounded, which Lin Yan and Di Bailian were extremely familiar with, and they immediately showed expressions of pleasant surprise.

They saw in the Void Realm.

A white-robed young man slowly walked out.

He carried a faint golden radiance on his body.

Wherever he passed.

The terrifying pressure brought by "Di Wuming's" palm strike vanished without a trace.

"Wang Mu, why… why did you come alone?" Lin Yan noticed that Wang Mu was by himself, and his surprise instantly turned into alarm.

Di Wuming's strength was so terrifying.

Wang Mu, a person unable to Cultivate, was useless here.

Wait… that's not right.

Lin Yan suddenly realized with a shock.

The Qi emanating from Wang Mu's body, how could it resemble that of a Mortal?

Wang Mu said, "Your message was sent so hastily, how could I have time to call anyone? I could only come myself…"

He was a little helpless.

The moment Lin Yan transmitted the message to him, he already had a premonition of danger.

He immediately activated the Taixu Dragon Clan Secret Technique, tore open the Void Realm, and crossed billions of miles of mountains and rivers to arrive.

But, it seemed he was still a little slow.

Rumble!

The giant palm descended, and endless mountains collapsed and burst apart.

Wang Mu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, but the golden light on his body grew denser, like the dawn of a golden sun, directly dissolving the giant palm.

"Di Wuming's" expression changed drastically as he stared at Wang Mu: "You can Cultivate? How is that possible?"

Wang Mu looked at him and said, "It seems you know me."

"Di Wuming" didn't speak again, but the killing intent in his eyes was chilling. He suddenly raised his long, slender palm and pressed it down from afar.

The Void Realm cracked, countless Laws were annihilated at this moment, like Chaos opening the heavens, and dense Runes formed chains of order, wrapping towards Wang Mu.

"Not bad!"

Wang Mu smiled faintly, brought two fingers together, and lightly tapped the Void Realm.

Heaven and Earth instantly darkened, falling into the boundless starry sky.

Wang Mu was like a Creator God. As his finger tapped down, massive stars roared into existence, tearing through the Void Realm and smashing towards "Di Wuming."

The chains of order collapsed one by one.

The area became dazzlingly bright.

It was like the destruction of a galaxy, immensely glorious, and the terrifying aftershocks spread out, covering an area of one hundred thousand miles.

All the mountains were leveled at this moment.

After a single strike.

Di Wuming retreated several steps in the Void Realm.

With every step he took.

Dozens of cracks would appear on his body.

He, who originally possessed a demonic, handsome temperament, now looked hideous and terrifying, like shattered porcelain.

"This, how is this possible?"

"Wang Mu, he's actually this strong!"

"…"

The few remaining people were dumbfounded.

Lin Yan and Di Bailian were stunned.

The remaining Young Emperors looked even more horrified.

In their minds.

Father was invincible.

If the Quasi-Emperor did not appear, no one could contend with him.

Yet, that Human Race youth, using only one strike, managed to inflict such heavy injuries on Father?

"Didn't you say this person couldn't Cultivate?"

Di Qinglian swallowed hard. He was the clearest about Di Wuming's current terrifying Battle Prowess.

Even though Di Wuming's state was clearly wrong now, looking as if he had undergone Possession.

His Battle Prowess was actually stronger than before.

Even with his strength gained from thousands of years of arduous cultivation, sweeping across the Eastern Region with virtually no rivals, he still had no power to resist when facing the current Di Wuming.

It was imaginable.

Just how terrifying was that Wang Mu?

A person like this, unable to Cultivate?

Then what were they?

Trash?

"This kid truly hides his abilities deeply~"

Dan Xuan also sighed, his eyes full of horror.

For so long.

He had never once seen through Wang Mu; he was truly a Prodigy… "What a pity…"

Wang Mu looked down at Di Wuming, clicking his tongue and sighing, "You are still a bit too weak!"

"Di Wuming's" face was hideous, "The me right now should be invincible below the Quasi-Emperor! Human Race junior, don't be so arrogant!"

The next moment.

The cracks on his body vanished, fully recovering.

He stepped into the Void Realm and rose.

Beneath his feet, hazy Chaos Qi permeated the air, and a giant Blue Lotus bloomed, revealing an aura even more terrifying than before.

"Die for me!" He raised his hand and punched out.

The Blue Lotus rumbled and rotated, bursting forth with an extremely dazzling azure light pillar from its heart, shooting straight toward Wang Mu.

This strike was full of destructive intent.

Even an Earth Immortal who had passed the Tenth Tribulation would have their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering and their Dao extinguished if they merely grazed it.

Wang Mu's expression remained unchanged. He gently pressed his palm down.

A massive Chaos vortex suddenly appeared before him, slowly spinning, unfathomable, and directly swallowed the entire light pillar.

This strike that nearly destroyed heaven and earth.

Was easily taken by Wang Mu.

Di Wuming's face became even uglier.

"If you had truly achieved a Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor, I might have found you troublesome. Unfortunately, you're still lacking!" Wang Mu sighed and flicked his finger.

An extremely obscure and ancient Curse Seal hung in the Void Realm.

Bursts of hazy gray light scattered from within it, shining down.

Upon seeing this Curse Seal.

Deep fear appeared in "Di Wuming's" eyes, "This is a Forbidden Technique of my Soul Race, how do you know it?"

Wang Mu did not answer, but the action in his hand remained constant.

"Di Wuming's" body stiffened. A slightly ethereal Soul Body, ferocious and vicious, yet currently filled with terror, was forcibly extracted from his Physical Body by the Curse Seal.

"Perish!"

Wang Mu lightly uttered the word. The Soul Body instantly became like a candle flickering in the wind, shaking violently, and quickly dissipated, as if it had never existed… Everything fell silent.

Everyone looked at Wang Mu with stunned eyes.

Wang Mu gave a helpless smile: "Alright, I'll slowly explain some things to you later! First, go check on your father, alright?"

Everyone woke up as if from a dream and quickly went to check Di Wuming's condition.

Fortunately.

Although he was weak, his life was not in danger.

He only needed a period of recuperation to recover.

Seeing this, Di Bailian and the others finally relaxed.

If Di Wuming had died.

It was feared that the Eastern Region would once again be plunged into a bloody storm.

Di Wuming looked at Wang Mu, his face complex: "The Human Race is truly the darling of Heaven and Earth…"

How many years had he Cultivated? He found it hard to count himself.

Given his innate bone structure and Aptitude.

He still hadn't achieved a Breakthrough past the Quasi-Emperor checkpoint. This path was too difficult!

Yet, Wang Mu, though young, possessed strength far surpassing his own, which couldn't help but make him sigh with emotion.

"Just luck," Wang Mu smiled.

Beside him, Lin Yan shivered, feeling that this sentence sounded familiar.

"Palace Master, there are some matters I'd like to consult you about," Wang Mu said.

"Young Master is referring to the marriage with my daughter?" Di Wuming was decisive. "I'll take charge of this matter. You two shall Consummate the Marriage tonight!"

Wang Mu: "…"

Di Bailian: "???"

Wang Mu quickly waved his hand: "We can discuss that later, discuss that later! I want to talk about something else."

Di Wuming raised an eyebrow: "Young Master, feel free to speak!"

…Meanwhile.

Cangyuan Realm, Southwestern Border of the Northern Region.

Rifts suddenly tore open in the Void Realm.

Monk after Monk, dressed in tattered robes and possessing kind eyes and brows, walked in single file.

"Stop!"

From above, several Cultivators with powerful Qi appeared and shouted, "Who goes there?"

The leading Old Monk smiled and spoke: "This humble Monk is acting on the command of the Ancient Buddha, specially traveling to the Northern Region to spread Mahayana Buddhism and save all sentient beings!"

The Cultivator Guarding the Pass said coldly: "Non-aggression between the Five Regions was a rule established many years ago.

Our Northern Region Cultivators do not need your Buddhist Teachings. Retreat quickly, or do not blame us for being impolite."

Hearing this, the Old Monk's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of indifference appeared in his eyes: "I have long heard that the Northern Region Cultivators constantly engage in warfare and possess extremely heavy Malevolent Qi. Seeing it today, it is indeed true. Benefactor, you must be careful; excessive killing intent can easily harm the body~"

After speaking, a strange smile suddenly curled up at the corner of his mouth… Turning to two separate threads.

Northern Region, Southern Border, bordering the Central Region.

In the sky.

Deep within the clouds, human shouts and animal cries sounded, as if thousands of soldiers and horses were locked in battle.

Blood light and killing intent.

Went straight up to the ninth heaven!
