"Hasn't the Heavenly Emperor already fallen?"
When Emperor Yan Yan's voice resounded, Mu Chen and Mandala's hearts trembled. The latter couldn't hold back her emotions and asked emotionally.
The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor exchanged a glance and said, "The Celestial Thearch has indeed fallen, but there are still traces of him guarding the seal."
Mandala's face dimmed down. She was clearly a little sad. After all, the Heavenly Emperor was like a father and a brother to her.
When Emperor Yan saw her expression, he knew that she was related to the Heavenly Emperor. But it wasn't appropriate for him to say anything. Thus, he shifted his gaze towards the plaza in the mountain and saw a massive black head.
"That's the Heavenly Emperor?"
When Mu Chen saw the Flame Emperor's gaze, he was a little startled. They initially thought that the head belonged to the Monarch, but no one expected that the Heavenly Emperor's silhouette was the Monarch.
The Flame Emperor nodded. "The Devouring Sky Monarch is extremely cunning. Not only did he transform into the appearance of the Heavenly Monarch, but he also turned the Heavenly Monarch's remains into this appearance in an attempt to lure outsiders to destroy it.
As he spoke, he waved his hand and dazzling flames swept out, enveloping the black head. As the flames blazed, the black head swiftly melted with strands of demonic aura evaporating.
The head melted, turning into a sparkling radiance that gradually gathered and formed into a silhouette.
That silhouette was donned in white robes with a confident bearing. Vaguely, there was an indescribable pressure emanating from him, akin to the prestige of an Emperor that made others revere and revere him.
Many pinnacle experts looked at that silhouette with respect and curiosity on their faces. That was the creator of the Ancient Haven Palace.
The legendary Heavenly Emperor?
"Who would have thought that after sacrificing myself to seal the devil, I still wouldn't be able to destroy it. Instead, I would need the help of tens of thousands of years later. I am truly ashamed." The white-robed figure appeared.
His gaze was focused on the green light in Wu Zu's hand as he said with a sigh.
"Senior, you are so righteous. We juniors have received your kindness, so we should help you."
Even figures like Yan Emperor and Wu Zu, who were once the pinnacle powerhouses of the Vast Thousand Domains, would not stand a chance.
Their expressions became much more solemn as they cupped their fists together. There was a sliver of respect in their words.
All of them were absolute geniuses, and in the Great Thousand World, not even Heavenly Sovereigns could make them show their respect. However, the Heavenly Emperor before them had sacrificed himself for the Great Thousand World.
Such righteousness was enough to earn people's admiration.
Mu Chen and the rest had also bowed, thanking this Senior for protecting the Great Thousand World.
The Heavenly Emperor looked at everyone with gratification on his face before sweeping his gaze at Yan Emperor and Wu Zu. "Back then, many pinnacle powerhouses of the Great Thousand World fell in order to resist the Fiend Clans. The Great Thousand World suffered a great loss.
I never expected that after tens of thousands of years, another outstanding figure would appear. It looks like the fate of my Great Thousand World is not over yet. "
Although the Heavenly Emperor was only a spiritual image, he was still a pinnacle powerhouse of the Great Thousand World in the past.
His eyesight was extraordinary, so he could tell that the two of them were unfathomable.
According to his estimations, even if he was at his peak, he might not be able to defeat the two of them. At the same time, he felt gratified. It looked like the Great Thousand World did not decline after the calamity back then.
On the contrary, under the crisis, the Great Thousand World grew even more prosperous.
Yan Emperor and Wu Zu were naturally modest before they handed over the Devouring Sky Monarch that was sealed in the sphere of light. Evidently, they intended to let the Heavenly Emperor deal with this great enemy of theirs.
The Heavenly Emperor received the light and gently brushed it. As the light surged, the sinister face of the Devouring Sky Monarch was revealed. He ferociously stared at the Heavenly Emperor and roared, "Heavenly Emperor, if it wasn't for the interference of others, you would have lost this battle!"
The Heavenly Emperor smiled. "You're wrong. Your Gobbling Demon Clan has used all their power to create someone like you. You're originally one of the top ten in the Fiend Clans. If I let you go back then, then the other places in the Great Thousand World would definitely be under great pressure. Since I've sealed you until now, I've already achieved my objective."
"Look, my Great Thousand World still exists. Furthermore, there are many talents, so I'm not the one who lost."
The Devouring Sky Monarch flew into a rage and a demonic aura surged. The demonic face roared as if it wanted to charge out, but it couldn't break free from the layers of azure light.
Yan Emperor and Wu Zu exchanged a glance, but they did not speak. The Heavenly Emperor clearly had no idea that although the Great Thousand World managed to withstand the calamity back then, nearly half of the territories were occupied by the Fiend Clans. For tens of thousands of years, the Fiend Clans were still eyeing the Great Thousand World, trying to take over the Great Thousand World.
Speaking of which, the Great Thousand World wasn't at its peak during the calamity back then. It could only be said that they had paid a great price to barely survive. Furthermore, they knew that the Fiend Clans would definitely not give up so easily. The next time they make a comeback, it would definitely be a destructive force.
But just thinking about it, Yan Emperor and Wu Zu faintly smiled. They had yet to come to the Great Thousand World during the calamity back then. Since they've encountered it today, then they naturally wanted to see how powerful the Fiend Clans were.
The Heavenly Emperor glanced at Yan Emperor and Wu Zu before he smiled and looked at the petite silhouette with gratification in his eyes.
"Datura, it's great to see that An Ran is fine."
Mandala stared blankly at the Celestial Thearch, and her eyes suddenly reddened. She was clearly extremely emotional. She took a step forward and held the Celestial Thearch's hand with her little hand.
The Heavenly Emperor gently patted her head, as though he was caressing a withering flower back then.
The Heavenly Emperor smiled towards Mandala before he looked at Mu Chen, who was holding onto the Heavenly Emperor Sword. "Back then, there were many outstanding talents in my Ancient Haven Palace, but none of them managed to cultivate the Immortal Golden Body. I never expected that I would be able to witness it today. The heavens have not let me down."
"I was fortunate to obtain the Immortal Golden Body that Senior left behind. I will never forget this favor!"
Mu Chen solemnly bowed towards the Heavenly Emperor. If it wasn't for the Heavenly Emperor leaving behind the cultivation technique of the Immortal Golden Body, he wouldn't be able to advance any further, and who knows how much time he would have to waste.
The Heavenly Emperor nodded his head with a smile as he accepted Mu Chen's bow before he stretched his hand out with a smile. "Little friend, please lend me the Heavenly Emperor Sword."
Mu Chen immediately handed the Heavenly Emperor Sword over.
The Heavenly Emperor received the Heavenly Emperor Sword and formed seals with a single hand before he indifferently looked at the Devouring Sky Monarch.
Sensing the danger, the Devouring Sky Monarch frantically roared with fear on his face. However, the Heavenly Emperor paid no attention to him. The Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand flew out, turning into millions and millions of stars. Every single star contained a terrifying power.
The Heavenly Emperor was only a spiritual projection, so his power wasn't enough to destroy the Devouring Sky Monarch. Thus, he could only borrow the power of the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
Sizzle!
Sizzle! The stars pierced through the azure light and instantly tore apart the demonic face that was sealed within. Vaguely, a mournful roar resounded between the heavens and earth.
"Don't be complacent. My Fiend Clans didn't even bring out our full strength. The next time we return, it will be the doomsday of your Great Thousand World!"
As a roar resounded between the heavens and earth, the Devouring Sky Monarch was completely erased from the seal and was reduced to nothingness, dissipating from the heavens and earth.
Buzz!
When the Devouring Sky Monarch was destroyed, a silhouette suddenly flew out from the boundary of the Heavenly Emperor Cemetery in an attempt to escape.
However, just as he was about to flee, a familiar and indifferent voice descended from the sky.
"You bastard. Not only did you escape from the battle back then, you even tried to help that demon break free from the seal. You've committed a heinous crime."
The indifferent voice instantly caused Lu Heng to be frightened out of his wits. Immediately, the demonic aura in his body burst out and turned into a black flood dragon. Lu Heng's original body was the Primordial Blood Flood Dragon, but after being demonized, he had turned into a Demonic Flood Dragon.
After reverting to his original body, Lu Heng swung his tail and shattered space in an attempt to escape.
Whoosh!
But it was also at this moment that a crystallised lustre descended from the sky with a sharp sword aura piercing through the heavens and earth. An ancient crystallised sword descended and instantly pierced through the head of the Demonic Flood Dragon, nailing it to the ground.
A boundless sword aura burst out and before Lu Heng could even beg for mercy, it had already turned his massive silhouette into a pile of meat. Even his Spirit had been destroyed.
The Heavenly Emperor was clearly enraged by Lu Heng's betrayal, so he did not show any mercy. Although it was a little troublesome for the Heavenly Emperor to deal with the Devouring Sky Monarch, it was easy for him to deal with Lu Heng, who was a Greater Earth Sovereign. Lu Heng couldn't even resist and was instantly killed.
After dealing with the traitors, the Heavenly Emperor raised his head and faintly smiled towards everyone. "This matter has come to an end. Everyone, please return."
As he spoke, the space between the heavens and earth fluctuated, forming into a spatial passage beside the many experts.
Everyone exchanged a look. The reason why they stayed behind was because of the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance and the Three Pures. But since the Heavenly Emperor had spoken, they had no choice but to leave. Furthermore, Yan Emperor and Wu Zu were here, so it was impossible for them to obtain such a treasure. Thus, they could only sigh in regret before they stepped into the spatial passage and swiftly disappeared.
Along with their departure, the Heavenly Emperor Cemetery became quiet.
The Heavenly Emperor turned his gaze towards Yan Emperor and Wu Zu and lightly smiled. "I wonder if the two of you are interested in my Three Pures?"
