Chapter 623: A Supreme Falls!

Swoosh!

The dense roots of the giant tree attached to the grand array pulled away, and its massive form vanished into an afterimage.

"Stop him!"

From the North Sea Boundary Pass, Xuan Ming's shout rang out.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Field Grand Array extended illusory chains, coiling toward the giant tree.

Lian Yuezhou, Guihai Baijiang, Buddha, and Duan Wuya all struck out, intending to use the power of the Formation to keep the giant tree there.

Although Li Xuanfeng had suddenly grown stronger, he hadn't directly achieved a Breakthrough in his Realm after all, so he couldn't reverse the tide of battle; he and Ao Yin were still at a disadvantage.

Compared to before, the situation was just not as dire, allowing them to hold on for a bit longer, but if it continued, Ao Yin's fall was inevitable.

If another giant tree joined in, Ao Yin wouldn't be able to hold on for even a moment. Then, with seven Supreme Experts dealing with Li Xuanfeng together, no matter how much he could endure, he probably wouldn't last long.

Clatter!

The invisible chains entangled the giant tree, temporarily preventing it from heading to the East Sea Boundary Pass.

Boom!!!

However, the alien Supremes confronting Lian Yuezhou, Guihai Baijiang, Buddha, and Duan Wuya directly burned their Divine Power as a price to interfere with them.

Crack!

The chains snapped at the sound, and the giant tree broke free from the restrictions, heading toward the East Sea Boundary Pass.

"Dammit!"

Guihai Baijiang cursed angrily.

As the Domain Lord of the Nanming Domain and the guardian of the Nanming Boundary Pass, his opponent was also quite formidable.

The one confronting him was the Flesh Spirit Race Supreme—Heavenly God Evil Fetus.

"Everyone, there is only one way now. Let us open the Merit Hall together and allow me to take back the emperor weapon fragment!"

A voice full of vigor traveled through the grand array to the ears of Lian Yuezhou and the others.

A middle-aged man with a majestic aura wore imperial robes and a flat-top crown. His vigorous Holy Power surged boundlessly, and ten thousand rays of radiance surrounded him. With a wave of his sleeve, a phantom of the Heavenly Court emerged, and the shouts of heavenly soldiers and generals shook the sky, submerging an alien Supreme Quasi-God King.

This person was the Domain Lord of the Central Heaven Domain, one of the top Supreme Experts of the Canglan Realm—Duan Wuya, the Lord of the Heavenly Court and a Supreme Quasi-God.

Among the nine Supreme Experts of the Canglan Realm, there was a certain gap in strength, with Lian Yuezhou rising the fastest and performing the most prodigiously.

Many felt she was the strongest among the nine Supreme Experts, but they didn't dare to conclude so, precisely because of Duan Wuya's existence.

Both being Supremes, Lian Yuezhou and Duan Wuya had never fought. Both of their records were extremely brilliant, but who was stronger remained a matter of debate.

"Open it!"

The voice of the Domain Lord of the Nanming Domain, Guihai Baijiang, rang out.

When the Merit Hall was first established, the Supreme Experts jointly set the rules; no Supreme Expert could practice favoritism or fraud, and everything had to follow the rules.

Just as when Ye Qingqing exchanged for a Body Refining opportunity in the Guixu Land, even Lian Yuezhou couldn't use her authority to let her skip the process of redeeming battle merit.

It could only be done if the nine Supreme Experts agreed simultaneously.

The three Supreme Experts—Tengshe, Zhuang Beichen, and Kun Hong—had already defected, so it was impossible to get all nine Supreme Experts to agree.

Duan Wuya, the Domain Lord of the Central Heaven Domain, had once placed an emperor weapon fragment into the Merit Hall, requiring one trillion battle merit to redeem.

In reality, it was just a display to highlight his identity as the successor of the Heavenly Emperor.

Now that the battle situation was unfavorable for the Canglan Realm, Duan Wuya wanted to retrieve this emperor weapon fragment.

Although he couldn't unleash the true power of an emperor weapon, he could still control a single fragment. By merely evoking a trace of Imperial Might, he could stand above any Supreme!

As one of the Nine Great Supreme Experts, and since this emperor weapon fragment was placed in the Merit Hall by him personally, it wasn't difficult to get it back; it only required three or more Supreme Experts to open the Merit Hall simultaneously.

Buzz!!!

The Supreme Experts each sent out a strand of Divine Sense to open the Merit Hall in the main hall at the same time.

Given the current situation of the Canglan Realm, no one would hesitate on such a matter.

Swoosh!

A longsword fragment containing the true power of a Great Emperor flew toward Duan Wuya.

In the next moment, an unspeakable power rippled out, as if the entire Endless Void were trembling.

Even across a distance of one billion or ten billion light-years, a mysterious pressure could be felt flashing by.

"An emperor weapon!!!"

The alien Supremes felt an uncontrollable sense of trepidation and looked toward Duan Wuya's direction.

Li Xuanfeng, clad in Immortal Dao battle armor, also turned his gaze toward the Central Heaven Boundary Pass.

True Great Emperor pressure, even if appearing in the present world after a million years, would cause one's Divine Soul to tremble with fear.

Clang! Clang!

The sound of clashing metal rang out as if ignoring distance.

All the Supremes saw three emperor weapon fragments appear in Duan Wuya's hand. The three fragments quickly pulled together and fused like magnets, forming a larger emperor weapon fragment.

"Three pieces?!"

Lian Yuezhou's Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

The other Supremes were also shaken.

"Break!"

With an indifferent voice, the emperor weapon fragment released Great Emperor power, directly piercing the forehead of an alien Supreme Quasi-God King who looked like a handsome youth.

In an instant, his Physical Body collapsed, his Soul was extinguished, and everything turned to ash.

The alien Quasi-God King who had confronted Duan Wuya for a long time died without even a speck remaining, the process so effortless and casual that it left people in a daze.

"Is this an emperor weapon?"

"Such astonishing power?"

At the East Sea Boundary Pass, Li Xuanfeng was slightly surprised.

There weren't many things left that could truly surprise him. This was the first time he had witnessed the power of an emperor weapon with his own eyes, and he had to admit it exceeded his expectations.

Even as a fragment, the Imperial Might contained within was a terrifying energy that was irresistible even to Supreme Experts.

That kind of gap was on an entirely different dimension!

Li Xuanfeng's brow furrowed slightly. With such a trump card, why hadn't he used it sooner?

The alien Supreme Expert confronting Duan Wuya had indeed fallen, but it was only one of his bodies.

Because the one confronting him was a member of the Twin Race.

The strongest of the Twin Race—Heavenly God Li Zi!

If Duan Wuya and Lian Yuezhou were the top Supreme Experts of the Canglan Realm, then Heavenly God Li Zi and Nightmare Heavenly God were the top Supreme Quasi-God Kings of the alien race.

Li Zi was not only powerful but also had top-tier survivability. Even if two or three Supreme Experts teamed up, it would be impossible to kill him. To this day, no one knew where his other body was located.

Without the nine heavens white jade palace, his survivability would not be weaker than Li Xuanfeng's; in fact, it might even be stronger.

Only by achieving a Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven could Li Xuanfeng's survivability surpass that of Heavenly God Li Zi without the help of the nine heavens white jade palace.

Yet such a Supreme Quasi-God King was killed in an instant upon facing Duan Wuya, who was controlling the emperor weapon fragment!

Although he hadn't died in a true sense, it was clear just how terrifying an emperor weapon could be!

"I will leave the defense of this place to all of you for now!"

Duan Wuya's vigorous voice was still echoing, but he had already stepped out and vanished from his spot.

He was going to the East Sea Boundary Pass.

With the emperor weapon fragment in hand, only he could completely change the tide of battle.

As a member of the Twin Race, Heavenly God Li Zi's slain body could revive on the spot, but since he died under Imperial Might, reviving wouldn't be so easy; it would take at least some time to accomplish.

In the meantime, it was enough for Duan Wuya to do many things.

"Ancient Tree, hurry up!"

Ancestral Bone roared.

As long as Heavenly God Ancient Tree was faster than Duan Wuya and could quickly take down Li Xuanfeng first, then they could face Duan Wuya together; even if he had an emperor weapon fragment, they could still resist.
