Boom.
Another expanse of chaos.
The avian form of Emperor Yuhua was cutting through the chaos at full speed.
Just as Peng Shen had anticipated, he could indeed sense the aura of his main body.
He could even sense the urgency of his main body.
"Something unexpected has happened."
The Great Dao universe of the Shenxiao Realm had not been destroyed.
This was his responsibility.
The main body would definitely hold him accountable upon its return.
But he believed the main body would understand the significance of what he had done.
If nothing else, a ninth-tier Great Dao universe alone, even if Peng Shen were present, would have made the same decision.
"Hurry."
At this moment, the avian form was extremely anxious.
If he could not reach the Shenxiao Realm in time, the enemy might escape.
He absolutely would not allow that to happen.
Boom.
At this moment, he began to burn his vital blood.
His vital blood boiled, and he rushed madly towards the Shenxiao Realm.
Peng Shen was sure to sense the avian form burning its vital blood.
"Burn vital blood, accelerate."
Peng Shen also grew anxious.
Although he didn't know what had happened,
the avian form burning vital blood indicated a matter of utmost importance.
The significance of this matter even surpassed that of conquering the entire Thunder Domain.
Hou Tu said nothing, his expression grave as he directly burned his vital blood.
Boom!
The two quickly caught up to the Dragon King.
"Scram."
The Dragon King roared.
His massive dragon body flickered as he lashed out at them: "Do you think you can stop this King?"
But...
Whoosh.
Peng Shen and Emperor Hou Tu actually dodged the dragon's tail.
Their speed increased further.
"What?"
The Dragon King was taken aback.
He soon understood. The other's avian form had encountered trouble.
The Dragon King was a Chaos Beast, and the ancestral bloodline memories contained records of the Peng bird.
One body, two forms, shared cultivation.
That was why he had unhesitatingly left the main battlefield and headed for the Shenxiao Domain.
He also had his own ambitions. The avian form, and the Great Dao universe of the Shenxiao Realm, were all his targets.
"Hmph."
The Dragon King snorted and also began to burn his vital blood.
Simultaneously, his voice reached Jian Zhu and Chi Yang behind him: "Burn your vital blood. Emperor Yuhua's main body is a Peng bird, one body with two forms. The one fighting you is merely a Peng form, while another avian form is in the Shenxiao Realm."
"Once he merges his two forms and devours the Great Dao universe of the Shenxiao Realm, no one in the entire Thunder Domain will be his match."
"Peng bird?"
Chi Yang Emperor and Jian Zhu behind him merely exchanged glances.
Then, without hesitation, they began to burn their vital blood.
They were unfamiliar with the Peng bird; after all, there were no such powerful Chaos Beasts as the Peng bird in the Thunder Domain.
But they did not doubt the Dragon King's words.
Rumble.
All five eighth-tier Great Emperors opened their vital blood and sped forth.
"Dragon King."
Jian Zhu's voice echoed faintly: "Shenxiao is dead, isn't it?"
"..."
The Dragon King did not answer.
His silence was an implicit confirmation.
"Heh."
Chi Yang grinned: "Old Dragon, you're as ruthless as ever."
He then added: "The physical body of an eighth-tier Great Emperor, heh... a supreme treasure. It can be refined into an eighth-tier Emperor Weapon."
He was somewhat envious.
In the past million years of the Thunder Domain, only one eighth-tier had fallen, the initial founder of Feng City, Feng Zhu.
But later, the first generation Feng Zhu died.
No one knew who had killed Feng Zhu, and no one had discovered Feng Zhu's physical body over the years.
"Old Dragon."
At this moment, Chi Yang asked again: "You didn't kill Feng Zhu, did you?"
This was something they had suspected for a long time.
The three human eighth-tiers had not taken action against Feng Zhu, and the Dragon King's rise back then had been too sudden.
Hence the suspicion.
"Hmph."
The Dragon King disdained to reply to them: "If you have no evidence, then shut your mouth. Otherwise, this King won't mind killing you two first."
Among all the eighth-tiers, only the Dragon King was in his prime.
If they angered this fellow, with the brainless nature of Chaos Beasts, he might very well turn around and attack them.
"Tsk tsk."
Emperor Chi Yang clicked his tongue twice and fell silent.
Now was not the time to fall out with the Dragon King.
Jian Zhu also remained noncommittal.
Boom.
The chaos was gradually filled with the light of blood.
The five Great Emperors, not far apart, rapidly charged through the chaos.
...
Shenxiao Realm.
"Whoosh."
Chen Fan opened his eyes.
The moment he regained consciousness, he froze: "I... fell asleep?"
At his level, sleeping was no longer beneficial.
Moreover, even if he did sleep, he wouldn't have been able to sleep so deeply.
He didn't even know when he had fallen asleep.
"Huh?"
He suddenly realized that the point of light with a hint of purple in front of him had also disappeared.
Looking at his body again, it was as if he had been reborn, filled with boundless vitality.
This was the body of someone in their early twenties. Unlike before, apart from the bone age, he looked like a withered old man.
"Incredible."
This feeling was so comfortable that it was beyond words.
"How much time has passed?"
After thinking for a moment, he muttered to himself: "It shouldn't have been long. The Great Dao universe of the Shenxiao Realm is still here."
He walked out leisurely.
The light cluster, pulsing like a heart, was almost completely emptied.
All the powerhouses from the Life and Death Realm were like diligent worker ants, tirelessly transporting the Great Dao power of the Shenxiao Realm.
He stopped an Emperor Venerable and asked, "How long have I been in there?"
"Uh..."
The Emperor Venerable, who was about to leave, was stunned: "City Lord just went in."
"Just went in?"
He was taken aback, then nodded.
Alright.
The Source of Life was truly too miraculous.
"Continue with your work."
"Yes."
There was still a lot of Great Dao power left.
Chen Fan prepared to help, but just as he was about to act, suddenly... an extremely strong sense of crisis inexplicably arose in his heart.
"Hmm?"
This crisis came too suddenly. He frowned: "Why so soon?"
The only ones who could make him feel such a sense of crisis now were eighth-tiers.
Needless to say, Emperor Yuhua's avian form must be returning.
It would take some time for the powerhouses from the Sword Domain to arrive.
With such a strong sense of crisis, they could not be far.
Thinking of this, he immediately gave an order: "One last time. Once everyone is out, do not return. We... need to run."
"So soon?"
Those who heard the City Lord's command paused.
They asked in confusion: "City Lord, didn't you say we had a day?"
"Yes, how long has it been?"
"We've only moved less than half of this Great Dao power."
It was worth noting that the number of people from the Life and Death Realm present, including all the Half-Emperors, was nearly a hundred thousand.
Although over ninety thousand of them were Half-Emperors, it was still a huge number.
After tirelessly transporting for so long, they had moved less than half.
This showed the immense power of an eighth-tier Great Dao universe.
"We can't move any more."
Chen Fan shook his head: "Emperor Yuhua is returning."
After speaking, he revealed a smile: "This time, our gains have been enormous. A seventh-tier is bound to be born."
He and Immortal Emperor were certain to advance.
As for Qi Sha and Emperor Yu, they would be restricted by the world.
Whether to lift those restrictions would be decided later.
