Chapter 513 - 508: High Priest

Leng Qingyue and the other three emerged from the Underground Palace and looked up at the sky.

The sky suddenly tore open with cracks, dragon roars resounded, and the purple-gold dragon qi poured down from the sky like rivers cascading backwards.

In the five regions, five emperor figures appeared, surrounded by terrifying Great Dao aura, as if the pressure of the heavens and earth’s Great Dao was hanging down, forcing all the cultivators on Sun-suspending Island to kneel.

In the Seven Kingdoms, the monarch of Moon Shadow Country and the emperor of Sunlight Country have perished, leaving the five remaining emperors to appear here together.

Behind them, other Great Cultivators of the Seven Realms followed, and the top-tier warriors of the royal dynasties all came here.

Besides, in another direction, terrifying demon shadows hovered in the air, and the top Great Demons of the Demon Race had also arrived here.

The scene before them was somewhat similar to the one above Sea Moon City that day, but the pressure was even more frightening.

"How did the High Priest discover us?" Leng Qingyue thought to herself. They were hiding underground in the Sunlight Country’s Imperial Palace, practicing secretly, there was no way anyone could leak it out.

Yet even so, they were exposed, attracting the strongest of the Divine Country to come and kill.

This time, it was far more perilous than two years ago.

She couldn’t help but glance at Li Fan’s back, feeling anxious and uneasy.

The clear sky turned dark, a cold moon appeared, overshadowing this realm. The people of Sun-suspending City were bathed in the light of the cold moon, turning day into night. The moonlight washed over, bringing an unbearable chill, even those with extraordinary cultivation couldn’t help shivering.

Within the cold moon, a figure appeared, just an outline, the face indistinguishable.

A chill crept over Leng Qingyue and the others, their faces turning pale as paper.

The High Priest, personally here?

"High Priest." The emperors of the Five Kingdoms bowed in salute.

"High Priest..." Countless people in Sun-suspending City prostrated and kowtowed to the figure in the cold moon, someone whispered: "We are unaware of the royal family harboring criminals, please forgive us, High Priest."

"The ignorant are innocent, do not harm the people of Sun-suspending City." A voice came from the sky, the five emperors bowed and nodded: "Yes, High Priest."

"This child killed the Demon Prince, I will give an account, but if you demons dare harm my Divine Country’s people, I will not spare you." The High Priest warned those Great Demons, causing the people of Sun-suspending City to weep bitterly, their eyes filled with ever more reverence as they bowed and kowtowed.

Li Fan, however, felt a strong sense of irony, wasn’t this just another Great Li World?

"I’ve only killed a few people, the Demon Race butchered how many of your citizens, but you relentlessly pursue me instead of killing the demons, rather joining forces with the Demon Race to kill me?"

Li Fan looked up and said: "Aren’t these demons your pets, occasionally let out to eat some people, then you appear, and those who survive owe you a debt of gratitude?"

"Insolence!"

Shouts resounded, as five beams of divine light descended from the sky, causing the sky to tremble violently, fierce waves like beasts surged towards Li Fan.

But as those attacks were about to land, everything in the void seemed to slow down, an icy blue Dao Sword light erupted from Li Fan, precisely slicing through and extinguishing them.

Icicle and snow Sword Intent surrounded Li Fan, covering the world in frost, permeating an extreme chill, he looked up at the High Priest and said: "You are willing to destroy the royal dynasty for the treasure in my hand, but just them alone cannot take it."

With that, he walked in the void, freezing all things, spreading from his body to the vast space, far away demons invading Sun-suspending City froze solid, and the five emperors in the sky felt the bone-chilling cold, as if plunged into an ice world.

"You rule the Divine Country, yet let the demons rampage, and together with the demons besiege here, if you won’t kill them, I’ll help you kill them."

Li Fan raised a finger, and a point fell, demon bodies in the distance were pierced through, even several Great Demons of the Seven Realms were similarly pierced by Sword Intent under that finger, boom... blood mist spread, demons fell, crashing to the ground.

"What a domineering Sword Cultivator."

The cultivators of Sun-suspending City looked up to the sky, Li Fan’s words were like thunder exploding in countless minds, does the High Priest raise demons?

Demons eat people, the High Priest chases demons, survivors owe the High Priest gratitude.

These words struck the hearts of many cultivators, sometimes they too had thoughts, why doesn’t the High Priest eradicate all demons, why not kill the Demon Emperor.

"No, the Sea Domain is endless, the Demon Emperor’s strength is overwhelming, how could he be so easy to kill, even for the High Priest, it’s hard to kill the Demon Emperor, if failed, the living beings will still suffer, we must not be swayed by such words."

But the vast majority still believed in the High Priest, for many years, without the High Priest ruling the Divine Country, there would be no peace within its territory now.

"Wicked words to deceive the masses."

A sharp cry came from above the sky, a towering phantom stood in the firmament, exuding the aura of an emperor, golden dragon qi swirled around him, strands of Geng Metal Divine Radiance shone down, pierced through the Ice Path, unstoppable.

He flipped his hand to strike downward, a Geng Metal Path harboring terrifying destructive aura forged into an Innate Golden Blade, split open the Great Dao, severed the void, like the utmost offensive power, slashing towards Li Fan.

Li Fan raised his hand to meet the attack, as a golden dragon soared into the sky, its golden claws tearing through the void. It was the utterly domineering Sky Splitting Claw, crashing towards the attacking blade.

"Boom..."

As the opponent’s attack shattered, a colossal golden divine figure appeared before Li Fan. This manifestation resembled a Divine General, its eyes filled with ferocity, golden divine radiance flowing across its divine body.

"Kill!"

A chilling sound of slaughter echoed from above, as the Divine General raised its hand, its enormous golden palm enveloping Li Fan’s space. The palm swirled with Geng Metal Evil Qi, transforming into a Killing Punishment Seal, moving to strike Li Fan.

"The one before Sword Cultivators emphasizes slaughter."

Li Fan watched as the Divine General’s attack enveloped him, the aura of the Ice Path covering the heavens and earth. He only raised his hand forward, a finger descending.

Instantly, in various directions, the Sword of the Great Tao appeared simultaneously, striking the swirling sword of Geng Metal Evil Qi, causing those Killing Punishment Seals to crumble and shatter. This made the figure in the sky frown slightly, realizing why it was possible to kill Cangwu and Zang Kunlun, severing the energy of the Great Tao with such methods, showcasing profound insight into the Great Tao.

At this moment, he sensed an extreme sharpness and saw Li Fan’s gaze fixated on him, finger pointing to the sky, saying: "Go."

Boom...

He felt the entire world transform into Sword Intent, sweeping towards him, enveloped in a cold aura of slaughter, his body began to frosted, waves of tumultuous energy crashing in, seemingly hiding an indomitable sword.

"Not good." He clasped his hands together, and suddenly a Divine General covered him, with the Dao Divine Weapon moving forward, charging towards the front.

Bang!

A Sword of the Great Tao struck, and a terrifying chaotic flow emerged around, dark purple destructive lightning swirling, crushing the Dao Divine Weapon, piercing the Divine General’s body, causing the huge figure to make cracking sounds, enlarging its fissures instantly.

"Clang."

A loud explosion accompanied by a massive roar sent his body flying into the clouds, the top-tier Magical Treasure, the Heart Protection Mirror covering his chest, also cracked. Yet, the destructive Sword Intent seemed eternal, refusing to relent until he was torn apart.

"How domineering."

Emperors from other directions were all trembling at the scene and had wanted others to first test Li Fan, not expecting his strength to be so formidable.

What Sword Dao is that?

"Make a move."

The four unleashed the will of the Great Tao simultaneously, their oppressive aura enveloping Li Fan.

Before they could act, a virtual image appeared in the sky, transformed by Li Fan, covering everyone within it.

A chilling icy aura swept across the sky, forming a world of frost, sealing everything in ice.

"Since you’ve come here today, there will never be emperors of the Royal Family in the Divine Country Territory in the future," Li Fan declared as the Nine Heavens Sword fell, simultaneously executing the four.

He sensed that today the High Priest here wasn’t the true body, if the High Priest had no backup plan, he would eliminate the five altogether.

If the High Priest had other strategies, he would settle the matter eventually.

Emperors of the Royal Family who dominated the Divine Country Territory were locked by the Mysterious Killing Dao Sword descending from the sky at that moment, releasing terrifying auras and employing Magical Treasures, including the Emperor from Xingchi Kingdom who acted earlier. Despite ultimately dispelling Li Fan’s sword, he was extremely disheveled, with his protective Magical Treasure shattering and suffering injuries; they dared not be careless at all.

Seeing Li Fan suppress five emperors single-handedly, the Cultivators from Sun-suspending City were utterly speechless in shock.

As the Dao Divine Swords fell from the sky, the moon in the heavens above blossomed with dazzling moonlight, illuminating the virtual image of the sky’s Great Tao, also shining on Li Fan.

Time and space seemed frozen, everything slowed, even the aura of slaughter, its power seemed greatly diminished.

"Taiyin."

Li Fan thought, sun for yang, moon for yin, Lu Yuan cultivates the Power of Taiyin.

Although his true body hadn’t come, the High Priest still released the Path of Taiyin, borrowing the power of moonlight, making time and space stand still.

The High Priest has taken action.

Everyone became tense, even if the Sword Cultivator’s cultivation reaches the heavens, facing the High Priest directly, he likely cannot escape death.

"Kill him."

An indifferent voice echoed, from the High Priest, the very judgment of the Divine Country Territory, one dared not question, nor did anyone have the ability to defy.
