"Hmm?" Zhen Xing looked at Dao Xuan with confusion. Old Ancestor Wu Yun was a Heavenly rank expert, while the Dragon King had only just broken through to Overlord. The gap in their strength was too vast; the Dragon King stood no chance of winning.
Why would Master say that? Was there something he hadn't noticed?
At this moment, Old Ancestor Wu Yun's aura grew increasingly intense. By the end, everyone present felt a terrifying pressure that made them want to kneel.
This wasn't intentional on Old Ancestor Wu Yun's part. It was because he was resisting the will of heaven and earth, forcing him to use his full power. What everyone felt was merely the overflow of his strength.
Concurrently, the terrifying fluctuations between heaven and earth intensified. The dark clouds in the sky seemed to descend closer to the ground, and the terrifying waves emanating from the clouds made everyone's scalps tingle with a strong sense of crisis.
"Boom!"
Another thick bolt of lightning struck, blasting a deep pit into the ground. Simultaneously, the space in the explosion zone folded, shaking violently.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
Lightning bolts continuously struck down, the air filled with a dangerous aura. In some areas of the sky, black fissures even appeared.
Space had split open!
"Ahhh! Damn it! Damn it! You accursed heaven, do you truly intend to oppose me? I must emerge this time! Even if this world shatters, I will not hesitate!"
Old Ancestor Wu Yun roared, his voice filled with endless fury. Terrifying fluctuations spread outwards.
Following this, the great mountain where the Wu Yun Sect's main gate was located began to move. It trembled violently, like a mountain collapsing. Countless enormous rocks rolled down from the mountain, and the entire mountain slowly split apart, a chilling cold spreading outwards.
He's out!!!
At this moment, everyone's hearts tightened. Old Ancestor Wu Yun was about to emerge.
"Hahahaha, mere heavenly rules, do you think you are worthy of stopping me from emerging?"
Old Ancestor Wu Yun laughed heartily. Faintly, everyone present saw a palace at the deepest part of the mountain's base. That was where Old Ancestor Wu Yun had been sleeping.
"Old Ancestor!!! Please, Old Ancestor, strike down this ant! Avenge those who have fallen in our sect!!!"
Wu Hai shouted, circling the cracks in the mountain, hoping to be heard by Old Ancestor Wu Yun.
"Rest assured! With my emergence today, all enemies shall perish! A bunch of ants daring to disturb my slumber, I will exterminate your nine generations!!!"
Old Ancestor Wu Yun responded. At the same time, Li Xiaotian's body tensed instantly, a chill running through him. He felt a gaze filled with killing intent staring at him from the depths of the mountain.
"Haha, Li Xiaotian, do you know now what kind of existence you have provoked? Hmph! How dare you provoke my Wu Yun Sect, you overestimate yourself!"
Wu Hai spoke to Li Xiaotian, his tone filled with mockery and hatred.
At this moment, the experts who had been observing from the surroundings also turned their attention to Li Xiaotian, as if looking at a dead man. They all knew that once Old Ancestor Wu Yun emerged, Li Xiaotian would be the first to die!
"Big Brother!"
"Dragon King!"
The people of Great Qin gathered around Li Xiaotian, their expressions solemn and their eyes filled with anxiety.
"Big Brother, why don't you escape first? We'll stay and cover your retreat. Remember to kill this old monster for us later!"
Long Shi Wu said to Li Xiaotian, his voice urgent. That was a Heavenly rank expert! Although he always believed Li Xiaotian was invincible, facing such a terrifying opponent, he was afraid.
"No need! You all retreat further back later!"
Li Xiaotian replied unhurriedly, his gaze fixed on the depths of the mountain. He wasn't being arrogant; he was confident that even if he couldn't defeat Old Ancestor Wu Yun, he could still retreat safely.
After all, he was now at the Overlord level. He could already activate one-third of the Demon Sword's power. With the Demon Sword, self-preservation was enough.
Of course, he wouldn't use the Demon Sword until the last moment.
At this moment, Old Ancestor Wu Yun was still struggling. The mountain had split open, and the palace where he slept had been revealed. However, the palace was now covered by a sea of lightning.
If Old Ancestor Wu Yun wished to emerge, he had to pass this trial from heaven and earth. Up until now, he still hadn't left the palace.
The dangerous aura between heaven and earth grew stronger. The dark clouds in the sky had now stopped overhead, forcing everyone to retreat. The energy contained within them was something even Old Ancestor Wu Yun had to deal with fully. Everyone present lacked the strength to resist, including Li Xiaotian.
"Ahhh! Break for me!!!"
Old Ancestor Wu Yun roared, and a massive fist shadow shot out from the palace, smashing towards the dark clouds in the sky.
"Rumble!!!"
Instantly, the sea of clouds churned, and for a moment, the scene above the clouds was revealed, sending a chill through everyone who saw it, making their bodies tremble.
It was a sea of purple and black lightning, boundless, containing destructive energy so potent that a mere glance instilled fear.
Could Old Ancestor Wu Yun truly withstand such a terrifying heavenly punishment?
"Boom!"
Old Ancestor Wu Yun's punch seemed to have enraged the sea of lightning. Immediately, countless bolts of lightning, like a torrential downpour, struck the palace at the mountain's base.
"Ahhh! Damn it!!!"
Old Ancestor Wu Yun's roar was filled with frustration.
Concurrently, terrifying fluctuations swept through the surroundings. Starting from the palace, space shattered, and countless spatial rifts appeared.
Where these spatial rifts appeared, the mountain body and the ground simply vanished, swallowed by the spatial fissures.
"Not good, retreat!!!"
Seeing this, the onlookers around them felt their scalps go numb, and they turned to flee without hesitation.
Li Xiaotian also quickly led the Great Qin group to retreat.
With so many spatial rifts, any single one was beyond his ability to withstand.
On the ground, the Wu Yun Sect disciples who hadn't managed to retreat in time, including some experts who were too close to the palace, had no time to react. They were instantly swallowed by the spatial rifts, unable to even let out a scream.
"This! This! Damn it!!!"
Wu Hai, who was desperately dodging the spatial rifts, turned pale as he witnessed this scene, his heart filled with grief and indignation. More than half of his Wu Yun Sect's forces had been swallowed by the spatial rifts, a number greater than those killed by Li Xiaotian's group.
And all of this was caused by their Old Ancestor's confrontation with the will of heaven and earth.
"Old Ancestor!!! You must emerge! Otherwise, the Wu Yun Sect will truly be annihilated!!!"
Wu Hai roared, his eyes red. At this moment, all his hope rested on the Old Ancestor.
As long as he emerged, the losses of the Wu Yun Sect would be insignificant.
And from within the palace, only Old Ancestor Wu Yun's furious roars could be heard, but he still did not emerge from the palace!
