The dark space collapsed, and the spatial fragments turned into a torrent that swept through the void. A figure walked over from the collapsed space. Wherever he passed, the torrent automatically avoided him, as if it did not dare to come into contact with such an existence.
In the Heavenly Emperor Cemetery, many top-tiered powerhouses were dumbfounded as they looked at that silhouette that emanated endless profound Spiritual Energy. The Greatlaw Continent was, after all, one of the supercontinents in the Great Thousand World, so they were naturally well-informed. Thus, everyone here had instantly recognised that person's identity.
That profound Spiritual Energy that could perfectly switch between ice, fire, lightning and darkness was something that only one person could achieve in the Great Thousand World.
That was the Lord of the Martial Realm, an illustrious existence whose name shook the Great Thousand World, the Martial Ancestor!
In the Great Thousand World, Heavenly Sovereigns were supreme existences. But at the same time, there were also differences amongst the Heavenly Sovereigns. In this era, amongst the pinnacle existences in the Great Thousand World, Yan Emperor and Wu Zu were definitely two of them!
Both of them came from the Lower Planes, but both of them possessed outstanding talents. Yan Emperor had long said that in just a few hundred years, he had established the Endless Fire Territory with unparalleled techniques in controlling fire and alchemy. Even those Alchemy Sects with long foundations in the Great Thousand World had to admit that they were inferior to him. In the Great Thousand World, everyone knew that the Endless Fire Territory was one of the most trustworthy elixirs.
Compared to Yan Emperor, who had always been free and unfettered, Wu Zu was more reserved and steady. But even so, he had charged into the Ice Spirit Clan to save his wife back then and practically relied on his own strength to confront the entire Ice Spirit Clan. One must know that even if an ancient clan like the Ice Spirit Clan had declined, their foundations were still terrifying.
But they still had a dreadful power. Even if a Sky Supreme Venerable wanted to cause trouble in the Ice Spirit Clan, he would only be asking for trouble.
Furthermore.
An ancient clan like this had a huge network. If they wanted to call for help, then it would definitely be a gathering of experts. Back then, the Ice Spirit Clan had indeed done so.
They had invited many powerful existences in the Great Thousand World to suppress Wu Zu and force him to retreat.
It was said that there were a total of three Heavenly Sovereigns in the Ice Spirit Clan at that time!
Not to mention dealing with a single person, it was more than enough to annihilate an ancient clan.
The confrontation back then had shocked the entire Great Thousand World.
That confrontation back then had shocked the entire Great Thousand World.
Facing the might of the Ice Spirit Clan, the Martial Ancestor still did not give up. It was rumored that he had confronted three Heavenly Sovereigns by himself. That battle was truly earth-shattering, and it even attracted the attention of the entire Great Thousand World.
No one could tell what had happened in the end, but it was obvious that the Martial Ancestor had gotten what he wanted from the Ice Spirit. From then on.
From then on, his name had spread throughout the Great Thousand World, and he had also established the Martial Realm.
Later on, the Martial Realm had grown and become a true superpower in the Great Thousand World.
At that time, the Patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan had abdicated and his successor was a clansman of the Ice Spirit Clan. At the same time, she was also the Mistress of the Martial Realm.
From then on.
The relationship between the Ice Spirit Clan and the Martial Realm had become extremely close. With the help of the Martial Realm, the Ice Spirit Clan had also gotten rid of the signs of decline and had become more and more powerful. Among the many ancient clans, the Ice Spirit Clan was ranked at the top. This had made many ancient clans envious.
And all of this was because of Wu Zu.
Because of all these, it had also caused Yan Emperor and Wu Zu to be so dazzling. However, the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Realm were both located at the border of the Great Thousand World, one in the south and the other in the north, suppressing and guarding against the Fiend Clans that were eyeing the Great Thousand World.
Therefore, although the two of them were equally famous in the Great Thousand World, they rarely appeared at the same time. But today, the two of them had actually appeared at the same time. How could this not cause many experts to be pleasantly surprised?
"That's Wu Zu?"
Under many shocked gazes, Mu Chen had also directed his gaze over with curiosity. The Spiritual Energy around the silhouette in the sky was constantly fluctuating. He had a towering aura, as if he wouldn't be shaken even if the heavens collapsed. Compared to Yan Emperor, Wu Zu was as steady and reserved as a mountain.
But similar to Yan Emperor, the aura that was being emitted from Wu Zu's body had also caused the heavens and earth to tremble, as if it couldn't bear it.
"Dad!
Dad! "
Under many respectful gazes, Lin Jing happily waved her hand as she smiled with her eyes narrowed.
Wu Zu's gaze shifted over. When he saw Lin Jing, his resolute expression swiftly turned gentle. Shortly after, he took a step forth, traversed through space and appeared before Lin Jing.
"You're running around without permission again. Looks like you'll be grounded this time!" Wu Zu spoke with a solemn expression.
However, facing his expression, Lin Jing still chuckled as she stepped forth and hugged onto his arm. Her indifference made Wu Zu maintain his solemn expression for a few breaths, before it turned into helplessness. Clearly, he knew that his strict fatherly attitude had no effect on his daughter.
Wu Zu's gaze shifted towards Mu Chen as a smile appeared on his face. "Little friend Mu Chen, thank you for protecting my daughter earlier."
Mu Chen felt a little awkward. If he knew that the fathers of the two missy were watching this place, he wouldn't have acted like a hero.
Seeing Mu Chen's awkward expression, Wu Zu knew what he was thinking in his heart and shook his head. "That wasn't a futile effort. At that moment, even we couldn't stop him in an instant. With their strength, it's impossible for them to withstand the might of the Monarch. So it's only right for me to thank them."
"Really?" Mu Chen dryly smiled as he scratched his head.
"Haha, Brother Lin's words are reasonable."
A burst of laughter resounded as Yan Emperor appeared before them. He patted Mu Chen's shoulder before looking at Wu Zu and smiled. "Brother Lin, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been?"
In the Great Thousand World, there weren't many that could make Yan Emperor look highly upon them, and Wu Zu was one of them. It's just that the two of them had to deal with the Fiend Clans, so they rarely met. However, the two of them had the same appreciation for each other.
"Brother Xiao."
Facing Yan Emperor's politeness, Wu Zu cupped his fists and raised his hand. There was an azure clump of light in his palm with a sinister demonic face sealed within it. Vaguely, there was a terrifying evil aura emanating from it.
"That fellow is a little weird." Yan Emperor looked at the Devouring Sky Monarch with his eyes narrowed.
"Haha, that Devouring Sky Monarch isn't simple."
Wu Zu lightly smiled. "In the ancient times, he could probably be ranked in the top ten of the Fiend Clans."
Yan Emperor was a little startled. An existence that could be ranked in the top ten of the Fiend Clans was a great threat to them. However, the strength that the Devouring Sky Monarch had displayed wasn't sufficient for him to be ranked in the top ten, even if he wasn't in a good state.
"In the ancient times, the Devouring Sky Monarch had another name." Wu Zu briefly paused before he continued, "The Nine Corpse Sky Monarch."
"The Nine Corpse Sky Monarch?" Mu Chen and the rest were stunned as they murmured. On the other hand, Yan Emperor fell into deep thought.
"In a certain sense, the Devouring Sky Monarch wasn't just one person, but nine!
Furthermore, there were nine Monarchs! "
Wu Zu stared at the azure clump of light in his hand and slowly said, "The Devouring Sky Monarch originated from the Devouring Demon Clan of the Fiend Clans. Back then, there were nine Monarchs in the Devouring Demon Clan, and they pursued the pinnacle by combining the nine into one."
Mu Chen was startled. If that's the case, then back then, when the Heavenly Emperor attacked the Ancient Haven Palace, he did not face one Monarch, but nine Monarchs?!
"If that wasn't the case, how could the Sky-Devouring Monarch fight against the Heavenly Monarch, who has cultivated the Three Pure Ones?" The Martial Ancestor smiled.
"Back then, the Heavenly Emperor relied on the Three Pures to destroy the seven Monarchs. But in the end, he was on his last legs and could only seal the remaining two Monarchs. Previously, when Yan Emperor sensed the shattering of the Demon Heart, the Devouring Sky Monarch managed to escape by detonating the eighth Monarch."
Mu Chen and the rest were dumbfounded. Only now did they know how terrifying the Fiend Clans were. They actually used such a bizarre method to create such a terrifying existence. It was no wonder that even the Heavenly Emperor could only seal it helplessly.
From this, one could see how powerful the Heavenly Emperor was. Not only could he destroy seven of the nine Monarchs, but he even sealed the remaining two. The Heavenly Emperor's reputation was well-deserved.
"So that's the case."
Yan Emperor nodded his head with a solemn expression. He knew that even he had to be cautious when facing such a powerful Monarch. It was no wonder why the Nine-Corpse Sky Monarch could be ranked in the top ten of the Fiend Clans.
"We can't let such a figure return to the mountains."
Wu Zu nodded his head and smiled. "But that brat's fate has come to an end. Since the two of us have made a move, we can't let him roam freely anymore."
Wu Zu's words were faint, but there was a domineering aura in his words.
Mu Chen and the rest felt that it was natural for him to be so domineering. Not to mention that the Devouring Sky Monarch was in a miserable state, even if he returned to the Nine-Corpse Sky Monarch, he would still die after falling into the hands of the two of them.
"But the Heavenly Emperor deserves the greatest credit for killing that Monarch. So it's only right for the Heavenly Emperor to be present." Yan Emperor smiled.
Wu Zu gently nodded his head.
Mu Chen and Mandala couldn't help trembling when they heard his words. Judging from their words, could it be that the Heavenly Emperor hasn't died?!
