Above the battlefield, a golden light, approaching from afar, appeared before everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.
For a moment, the entire battlefield fell silent, becoming incredibly quiet. Everyone stopped their actions.
It was as if time had suddenly frozen. Countless gazes fixed on the golden light in the sky, their eyes filled with shock, terror, disbelief, excitement, and fervor.
"Roar!"
In the sky, a resplendent golden dragon-horse let out a heaven-shaking roar.
But the most captivating sight was the figure on its back: clad in black, emanating a terrifying killing intent, Li Xiaotian!
"Li Xiaotian!!"
"How is this possible? Didn't he die?"
"So powerful!"
"King!"
"Xiaotian!!"
At this moment, countless people spoke out instinctively. Huang Wudi and others stared in shock, their expressions filled with disbelief.
On the Great Qin side, there was excitement and elation. tens of thousands of warriors from the Dragon King Hall collectively knelt and shouted.
And at this moment, Li Xiaotian's eyes were fixed on only one person: Ye Qingmei.
She was covered in blood, her legs replaced by energy, her face pale. Yet, she smiled at him.
She knew he would return.
"Xiaotian."
Ye Qingmei whispered, tears finally unable to be held back. At the same time, her body could no longer hold on, and she was about to fall to the ground.
But in the next instant, a familiar and powerful embrace appeared before her, catching her.
It was Li Xiaotian.
"You're back."
Ye Qingmei said with a light smile, as if she had known this moment would come.
He was back, and she could finally rest. She didn't need to worry about anything anymore.
With him here, she only needed to be his wife.
"I'm sorry, I'm back late."
Li Xiaotian's face was filled with remorse, his eyes brimming with guilt and heartache. He gently caressed Ye Qingmei's cheek, tears falling.
"Buzz!"
A large amount of energy surged into Ye Qingmei's body. He wanted to restore her body.
"No! Don't waste it. Go, don't mind me. They need you more than I do."
Ye Qingmei quickly stopped him, shaking her head. She was happy that Li Xiaotian had returned, but the enemies were still too many. He was bound to face unimaginable battles next, so there was no need to waste energy on her.
Li Xiaotian shook his head, refusing to leave. He continued to pour energy into Ye Qingmei frantically.
"Li Xiaotian! How dare you be so careless in front of this seat? You're courting death!"
Suddenly, a stern shout erupted. It was Huang Wuya, his face filled with smugness and excitement.
Li Xiaotian was back, and now he could finally kill him with his own hands.
"It's good that you're back. This seat will kill you in front of everyone!"
Huang Wuya continued to sneer, but he failed to notice that Huotongzi, who was with him, had already disappeared.
The news of Li Xiaotian's demise had been brought back by Huotongzi.
However, Huotongzi had not informed the people of Yanzhou about Li Xiaotian's strength.
"Hmph! Just a Li Xiaotian. If it were before the war, when he was still in Great Qin, perhaps we would have hesitated to start a war. But now, it doesn't matter. He's back, and we'll kill him along with them!"
Huang Wudi's voice echoed through the heavens and earth, his tone filled with disdain. Now that the great war had begun, with all the sects unleashing their hidden strengths, one Li Xiaotian would not change the tide of this war.
"Heh heh, indeed. Li Xiaotian, all past grievances will be settled today. You and Great Qin shall die together!"
Shen Wuji of the Divine Sect sneered, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Roar! Li Xiaotian, the revenge for killing my Ten Thousand Beast Mountain's Black Dragon Emperor will also be settled today!"
On the other side, the demon race from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain roared.
The people of Great Qin, however, gradually became disheartened. Indeed, even if Li Xiaotian returned, what of it? He was merely another overlord. Coupled with that dragon-horse, that made two. The situation was still unfavorable for Great Qin.
High in the sky, the dragon-horse's eyes held a strange look. These people from Yanzhou seemed unaware of Li Xiaotian's true strength. If the overlords from Manzhou knew about this, they would likely be astonished.
The war continued. The overlords on both sides resumed their battles, no longer paying attention to Li Xiaotian. With Huang Wuya there, Li Xiaotian couldn't cause much trouble.
Meanwhile, Huang Wuya's face turned ashen. Li Xiaotian was healing Ye Qingmei right in front of him, completely disregarding his presence.
"Li Xiaotian, that's enough! My patience is limited. You, die!"
Huang Wuya roared, launching a punch directly at him.
A phantom fist, the size of ten men, instantly appeared, tearing through space as it hurtled towards Li Xiaotian.
He had unleashed his full power in this strike, aiming to defeat Li Xiaotian with a single blow and wash away his humiliation.
"Xiaotian!"
In Li Xiaotian's arms, Ye Qingmei urgently warned him, her eyes anxious.
"It's alright. You watch from here. I'll finish them all first!"
Li Xiaotian's tone was calm, his eyes held a smile. Anyone who didn't know might have thought he was whispering the sweetest love words.
At this moment, Ye Qingmei's injuries had recovered more than half, and her legs had already regenerated.
Li Xiaotian set her down, then turned to face Huang Wuya, completely ignoring the incoming attack.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian's eyes were dark, his killing intent growing stronger, causing the sky above to churn and lightning to flash.
"Courting death!"
Seeing that Li Xiaotian still hadn't moved to block his attack, Huang Wuya sneered, his eyes filled with contempt.
But in the next moment, he froze.
With a casual wave of Li Xiaotian's hand, the fist phantom, condensed from Huang Wuya's strongest blow, instantly dissipated.
"What??"
Huang Wuya cried out in shock, and at the same time, the overlords from various factions turned their attention, their expressions filled with shock and disbelief.
"You, were you very arrogant just now?"
Li Xiaotian looked at Huang Wuya, then extended a hand.
"Rumble!"
Li Xiaotian's right hand grew with the wind, instantly covering the sky and earth, reaching out to grab Huang Wuya.
"How is this possible?!"
Huang Wuya shouted, his eyes filled with terror. Without a second thought, he turned and fled.
But an immense, terrifying pressure instantly descended, causing his entire body to stiffen, rendering him immobile.
Immediately after, Huang Wuya was seized by Li Xiaotian.
"This is impossible!!"
From a distance, Huang Wudi and others roared, feeling a chill creep up from their feet, their bodies turning ice-cold.
Huang Wuya, a late-stage overlord, was suppressed by Li Xiaotian with a single hand. How could this be?
Even if Huang Wuya's realm was built with pills, he shouldn't have been suppressed so easily by Li Xiaotian!
And at this moment, Li Xiaotian, gripping Huang Wuya with one hand, simultaneously rose into the air, instantly reaching a height of three hundred zhang, bathed in golden light.
At this moment, the entire battlefield was shrouded in golden light. All eyes could only see Li Xiaotian's colossal figure, his head touching the heavens and his feet planted on the earth.
"Top-tier Overlord!!"
"Golden Body expert!"
"Ancient Godly Physique!!"
On the battlefield, countless people screamed in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock.
Huang Wudi and the others turned even paler, cold sweat beading on their foreheads. At this moment, only one thought occupied their minds.
That was, why was Li Xiaotian so powerful?
How many years had he been cultivating?
Why had he grown so fast?
"Huang Wuya, tell me, how do you wish to die?"
At this moment, Li Xiaotian spoke, looking at Huang Wuya in his palm with cold eyes.
"You, you, how is this possible? Why?!! This isn't real!!"
Huang Wuya roared, his eyes filled with disbelief and fear.
He couldn't understand, he was unwilling!
"You bullied my wife, you killed my subordinates. Huang Wuya, tell me, how do you wish to die?!"
Li Xiaotian spoke again, his voice like the footsteps of death, treading on the hearts of everyone present.
"No! You can't kill me! I am the Lord of the Desolate Hall, my parents are Heavenly-rank experts. You cannot kill me!"
Huang Wuya finally regained his senses, realizing his peril. He roared, his eyes filled with terror.
"Now you're scared? Too late!"
Li Xiaotian said faintly, then slowly closed his palm.
"Crack! Crack!"
Sounds of cracking emanated from Huang Wuya's body. His bones were being broken, little by little.
"No!!! Don't! Li Xiaotian, you can't kill me. My parents have made contributions to the human race, and I am the descendant of a meritorious official. You cannot kill me!!"
Huang Wuya screamed, his voice heart-wrenching, filled with deep terror.
But Li Xiaotian remained unmoved, continuing to slowly close his palm. He wanted to crush and torment the other party bit by bit, only then could he vent his killing intent and rage.
"Stop! Li Xiaotian, stop quickly, you can't kill him!"
From a distance, Huang Wudi roared, his face contorted with anger. Huang Wuya could not die. If he died, his parents would awaken and go mad.
The madness of two Heavenly-rank experts would be a disaster.
Huang Wudi wanted to go and save Huang Wuya, but he was entangled by his opponent and was powerless to rescue him.
Huang Wuya wailed, his screams growing more piercing, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.
Gradually, the battlefield fell silent, and blood dripped from Li Xiaotian's massive fist.
It was Huang Wuya's.
At this moment, Huang Wudi and the others felt an inexplicable fear. A late-stage overlord had been killed by Li Xiaotian like this, as easily as crushing an ant.
"Now, it's your turn."
Li Xiaotian's voice resonated through heaven and earth. At this moment, the sky darkened, and all eyes could only see Li Xiaotian's figure.
