Xuanyuan Gaoyan's palm strike entered the city and arrived instantly, catching everyone off guard.
The Thearchs and Lords' expressions changed, including Ye Ninghong. Although they were on guard, they were still one step too slow, and it was too late to stop it.
Rumble!
The majestic palm strike crushed everything in its path, and the void seemed to collapse. Countless cracks appeared in the space, and it was unstoppable.
How tyrannical was a Great Emperor? Their movements and stillness were integrated with the Great Dao. Their will was the Dao, and their body was the Dao. The terror of their oppressive aura was far from what Xuanyuan Wuba could compare to. Any Thearch powerhouse would be suppressed by this palm light.
However, Xuanyuan Gaoyan did not condense too much power in this palm strike, and it was not enough to cover the entire imperial city. Ye Ninghong would not give him the chance to do so.
Moreover, his goal was not to destroy the city.
He knew that he would not be able to kill everyone in the city with this palm strike.
His real goal was the temple.
The magnificent temple was suspended in mid-air in the center of the city. It was majestic and majestic, and it radiated with supreme power. It was like the temple of the gods, and it was awe-inspiring.
The temple was not only the palace of the Thearchs, but it was also the source of the protective formation. Xuanyuan Gaoyan wanted to open the second layer of formation power.
Only Thearch Xuanyuan could activate the second layer of formation power.
When the time came, a terrifying offensive Dao would erupt, and all living beings in the city would be attacked.
Relying on the protective formation, it would be enough to raze the imperial city to the ground in an instant.
Buzz!
A powerful palm strike broke through the air and pressed down, covering the temple. The two Dao Intents came from the same source, and they could sense each other. The temple flickered with a dazzling brilliance, spewing out endless radiance.
At that moment, the entire imperial city shook under the radiance.
Then, the palm strike shattered, turning into countless specks of light that flooded the temple.
Four balls of platinum light emerged from the temple and turned into ribbons that flew toward the pillars at the four corners of the imperial city.
In a flash, they disappeared into the huge pillars.
Every formation pillar was being poured in by a waterfall.
Rumble!
The earth and mountains shook, and the void trembled as well. The earth and rocks in the city tumbled, and all the palaces collapsed one after another. A formless Great Dao power radiated from the four pillars toward the center of the imperial city, gradually closing in and sealing the entire city.
A suffocating sense of crisis invaded everyone's souls, and the desperate slaughter actually stopped at the same time. Numerous shocked gazes looked towards the four array pillars.
The four pillars shook violently as the Divine Dragon, Phoenix, Black Tortoise, Qilin, and other Divine Beasts carved on the pillars gradually lit up as if blood was being injected into the meridians. The Divine Dragon, Phoenix, Black Tortoise, Qilin, and other Divine Beasts' patterns quickly spread up the pillars and covered the entire body of the Divine Beasts.
Along with this, every time a part of the pattern was lit up, the stone pillars would shatter and turn into powder. The divine beasts in the pattern seemed to have become living creatures, emitting an incomparably powerful aura of life. The body of a dragon, the body of a phoenix, the back of a tortoise, flesh and blood gradually condensed.
Roar!
Finally, the four pillars collapsed at the same time, causing smoke and dust to rise into the sky. Inside the smoke and dust, one could faintly see gigantic creatures moving about. Their auras were comparable to Sovereign Lords, and with a light step, they caused the heavens and earth to tremble.
"I can't save my clansmen, but this formation can exterminate all invaders in the city.
This is the guardian deity of the Xuanyuan family. Take a good look at it. "
Xuanyuan Gaoyan looked at the city and smiled. It was a helpless smile, a bitter smile, but also a smile of satisfaction.
He had roped in the Sacred Hall and the Li Family. He had originally thought that this battle would be smooth sailing, and he would eradicate the Zheng Clan and Night Luo Palace, allowing the Southern Proud Empire to regain its former glory.
However, he had never imagined that things would turn out this way.
Sovereign Realm, defeated!
Human Sovereign, defeated!
Yuan Venerate, defeated!
The army in the city had suffered countless casualties and was routed continuously.
Now, the general situation was set, and the Southern Proud Empire was isolated. Even as the Sovereign Lord, Xuanyuan Gaoyan could not rely on his own strength to reverse the situation.
The only thing he could do was to drag everyone down with him and bury them with the Xuanyuan family.
In any case, the family had no friends or allies. The Sacred Hall had only taken action to avenge Yue Qianyang and to protect the dignity of the Sect.
The Li Family had taken money to enjoy the scenery and were as indifferent as beasts.
In this vast world, no force was willing to sincerely help the Xuanyuan family.
How sad was the dignified Xuanyuan royal family?
Then, let's perish together.
From now on, the Southern Region would no longer have the Xuanyuan family and any overlord.
Whoosh!
At the same time that the beast spirits were awakened, Xuanyuan Gaoyan decisively took the initiative to attack. A ray of Emperor light flashed out like lightning, and a palm suffused with the radiance of laws pressed down on the head of the Zheng Family's elder.
Boom!
It was a one-hit kill effortlessly. The Zheng Family's elder struggled in fear, but his entire body was crushed by Xuanyuan Gaoyan, and his soul was destroyed.
The Sovereign Lord was so strong that even if Emperor Yuan stood in front of him, he would be slaughtered like a pig or a dog.
Xuanyuan Gaoyan sneered, and the radiance of Dao Corroboration on his body was extremely dazzling. He moved once again. He took a step forward and teleported in front of the elders of the Night Net Palace. His palms struck forward, and a terrifying gravity drowned out the void and rolled back toward his palms.
Creak!
Xuanyuan Gaoyan's palms squeezed the throats of two Night Net Palace elders.
"May the Night Net Palace prosper forever."
Knowing that he was powerless to escape, an elder shouted. There was no fear in his eyes, only endless glory and pride.
"Xuanyuan Gaoyan."
Ye Ninghong let out a shrill cry and turned into a dark ray of light, stabbing toward Xuanyuan Gaoyan's back.
The world was filled with extremely sharp killing intent of Dao Corroboration.
In fact, when Xuanyuan Gaoyan moved to kill Emperor Yuan of the Zheng Family, Ye Ninghong had already made her move.
But both sides were Sovereign Lords, and the other party made the first move, resulting in a situation where one side was faster than the other.
A terrifying killing intent came from behind. Ye Ninghong's Dao Corroboration nomological power surged into Xuanyuan Gaoyan's body, causing him to feel cold.
But he didn't stop. With a cold smile on his face, he exerted force with both palms, and the nomological power of Dao Corroboration burst out, shattering the bodies of the Night Net Palace elders. Both of them died.
Puchi!
The dark ray of light pierced through. In the midst of the crisis, Xuanyuan Gaoyan dodged to the side, and Ye Ninghong flew past him. A piece of his noble dragon robe fluttered in the wind.
At this moment, a trace of blood flowed down from the blade that Ye Ninghong was holding tightly.
It was the blood of an Sovereign Lord.
However, Xuanyuan Gaoyan didn't seem to feel anything. He turned around and stepped forward again. In a flash, a palm filled with a terrifying aura of death pressed down on the heads of Xiao Han and Zhan Ye.
He knew that he was injured, but so what?
He just wanted to kill to his heart's content.
As for Ye Ninghong, he didn't care at all.
Buzz!
The heavy palm of the Great Dao struck down. Xiao Han and Zhan Ye were imprisoned in place. Even though their nomological power erupted wildly, they were as weak as children in front of a Dao Corroboration Great Emperor.
This was the power of an Sovereign Lord.
Emperor Yuan was like a god in the eyes of the outside world, but he was like an ant in front of a Dao Corroboration Great Emperor.
Even Ye Ninghong, who was also an Sovereign Lord, couldn't kill him.
This was the reason why Sovereign Lords wouldn't easily intervene in low-level battles.
Because once they made a move, everything would be destroyed. It wasn't easy to stop them at all.
One person was enough to kill everyone in the world.
The same logic applied to Ye Ninghong. If she killed the descendants of the Xuanyuan Family at all costs, Xuanyuan Gaoyan wouldn't be able to stop her. Because of fear, both sides didn't dare to act rashly.
But now, the Xuanyuan Family was about to disappear from the world.
Xuanyuan Gaoyan had no more scruples. Even if he had to risk his life here, he would make the Night Net Palace and the Zheng Clan pay the price. He would make sure that no one below the Sovereign Lords would live.
"Crazy."
Looking at all this, Li Yuan's mood was a little turbulent.
But it was also good. The Xuanyuan Family was destroyed, and the Zheng Clan and Night Net Palace suffered heavy losses. It would only be beneficial for the Li Family to control the Southern Proud Empire.
"Father, that woman can't die."
At the critical moment, Li Yaqi anxiously reminded his father. He was talking about Xiao Han, Qin Hao's reverse scale. The reason why the Xuanyuan Family was in such a miserable situation today was because of Xiao Han.
"Why are you in such a hurry?
Take your time. "
Li Yuan was very calm. He knew that on the Zheng Clan's battleship, there was a powerful existence that could shake an Sovereign Lord.
That person was a big shot of the Divine Palace.
If the Divine Palace's powerhouses didn't make a move, what was the point of the Li Family interfering?
Xuanyuan Gaoyan was crazy now, and Li Yuan didn't want to fight against a lunatic. If his Sovereign Body was injured, it wouldn't be good for him.
Otherwise, why didn't Emperor Luo and Emperor Ning Wuming make a move?
Swish!
At the critical moment, an extremely domineering blade light slashed over, cutting the sky open and slashing in front of Xuanyuan Gaoyan. This blade slashed down, directly cutting off his Dao Corroboration Great Emperor.
Bang!
Xuanyuan Gaoyan pressed both of his palms against the saber light. The terrifying saber intent rolled out, releasing an extremely vigorous energy. Xuanyuan Gaoyan's arms went numb. He took a step back and steadied himself.
He stared ahead. At this time, in front of Xiao Han and Zhan Ye, stood an old man with a white beard.
The old man's hands were behind his back, and the light of Dao Corroboration flickered around him. An extremely violent Blade Will emanated from his body, and a pair of emotionless eyes stared coldly at Xuanyuan Gaoyan.
"Tell me your name. Nameless people don't deserve to die in my hands," Xuanyuan Gaoyan said.
The old man opposite him had the same cultivation as him, perfected Dao Corroboration Great Emperor.
However, when the two's Will collided just now, the old man slid back several meters. Obviously, his foundation was not as good as Xuanyuan Gaoyan's. He probably hadn't touched the Sovereign Lord level for long, and his realm was not very stable.
"Zhan Zong, Zhan Guang He," the old man replied coldly.
Zhan Zong was the master of Zhan Zong, a perfected ninth-tier Sovereign Lord, a Dao Corroboration Great Emperor.
When this voice came out, although it wasn't loud, it caused a sensation on the entire battlefield.
Countless cultivators who came to watch the battle were so shocked that their mouths were wide open. They looked at the leader of Zhan Zong, who was standing in the void. He was actually an Sovereign Lord.
It turned out that Zhan Zong wasn't a first-rate force, but was also an overlord. Moreover, it was a top overlord force with Sovereign Lords.
The space was silent. Even Sword Emperor Makumonji, Sun God, Emperor Luo, Emperor Ning Wu, and Li Yuan's hearts trembled at the same time. They didn't expect that apart from the three sovereigns and four sects, there was actually such a powerful force hidden in the Southern Region.
The people behind Zhan Zong were probably not simple.
Xuanyuan Gaoyan's shoulder-length black hair danced, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Zhan Zong's Patriarch?
"But that's all there is to it. Today, you will die."
"The first Sovereign Lord to die in the Southern Region will be you."
Ye Ninghong's shrill and angry roar came from behind him. Endless Dao of Annihilation pressed down. The space where Xuanyuan Gaoyan was standing gradually turned dark. It wasn't a black fog, but the entire space solidified and turned into a pitch-black space. This was the seal of Dao Corroboration Great Emperor.
In just a few breaths, Xuanyuan Gaoyan killed three Emperors from the Zheng Clan and the Night Luo Palace in one fell swoop. Xiao Han and Zhan Ye also almost died in his hands. How could Ye Ninghong not be worried?
Zhan Guang He stopped Xuanyuan Gaoyan's footsteps. Taking this opportunity, Ye Ninghong was able to use the Night Luo Palace's Dao Corroboration Great Emperor to seal him.
In this way, the three of them could fight unscrupulously until one of them died.
"Ye 'er, take this girl away," Zhan Guang He said.
After speaking, the domineering power in his body erupted and swept out, forming a terrifying Sword Dao storm that resonated with heaven and earth. It was as if the Great Dao of Sword could cut through everything.
"Patriarch, you must be careful."
After Zhan Ye finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated with Xiao Han.
In the void, the Sword Sect, Blazing Sun Temple, Ning Wu, Northern Pride, Li Family, and various other forces' Emperors retreated one after another. In the following battle, even Emperors weren't qualified to approach. Only Sovereign Lords could watch from a close distance.
