The outside world was in an uproar.
On the Celestial Sphere planet, another plot was brewing. And the targets of this scheme were none other than the Ice River Giant Beast's clone and Ye Xuan.
Futou, already petty-minded, was now utterly furious as his most honored grandson had been trampled underfoot.
Therefore, Ye Ying's defeat directly accelerated his rebellion against the Star River Empire. Of course, this was also inseparable from Mo Yu's previously firm stance, which made him suspect that something about him might have been exposed.
At the same time.
Somewhere on the Celestial Sphere planet, in the vicinity of the Ice River Giant Beast's clone.
"What a swift arrival."
The Ice River Giant Beast's clone curled its lips. The reason it had so ostentatiously claimed the top spot in the Star River Empire's planetary rankings was not solely for the thousand top-grade Emperor Crystals. It also wanted to test its current strength at the peak of the Seventh Order Great Emperor realm.
Of course... these individuals must have been sent by that old scoundrel Futou. Their strength would certainly not be weak. If it could defeat them, it would surely gain a considerable fortune.
With this thought, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone sought out a secluded jungle, making it easier to act.
However, just to be safe, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone had informed its main body about this matter, as the main body's acting skills were truly superb.
A quarter of an hour later.
Deep in the jungle, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone moved at high speed.
Behind it, the powerful figures of the Heavenly Wolf Empire furrowed their brows, especially the one at the forefront.
This person was named Hu Yanqing, a guest elder of the Heavenly Wolf Empire. Although his strength was not as high as Futou's peak Eighth Order Great Emperor, he was still an Eighth Order Great Emperor, far beyond that of ordinary people.
If placed outside the Celestial Sphere planet, he would be considered a powerhouse.
"Lord Hu Yan, could it be that the elven brat has discovered us?"
A subordinate of Hu Yanqing frowned. His strength was also at the peak of the Seventh Order Great Emperor. To eliminate the Ice River Giant Beast's clone, it was clear that Hu Yanqing and his party were determined to succeed.
After all, this matter was of great importance and concerned the grand strategy of their Heavenly Wolf Empire!
"This..."
Hearing his subordinate's words, Hu Yanqing pondered for a moment. "It's not impossible. Everyone, stay alert. We absolutely cannot alert that old fox Mo Yu."
"Attack!!"
Hu Yanqing clearly didn't want to delay. He moved forward, and in the next moment, he unleashed an attack towards the Ice River Giant Beast's clone.
Caught off guard, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone unleashed its Seventh Order Great Emperor aura and punched out.
Boom!!
Terrifying aftermath spread, energy dispersed, and then the group of over a hundred people from the Heavenly Wolf Empire surrounded the Ice River Giant Beast's clone.
"What!?"
Sensing the aura emanating from the Ice River Giant Beast's clone, Hu Yanqing was stunned. "Seventh Order Great Emperor? How is this possible!?"
"As expected of the young man who unprecedentedly reached the top of the Star River Empire's Heavenly Ladder. He was hiding his strength!"
"A Seventh Order Great Emperor under the age of one hundred and fifty, truly surprising!"
Hu Yanqing marveled, clearly realizing that this brat must have something extraordinary about him.
"Heh, my main body has a second clone. If you don't show up, I'll finish collecting."
The Ice River Giant Beast's clone ignored Hu Yanqing. Although it didn't take the people in front of it seriously, it couldn't eliminate all of them simultaneously. If the news leaked, it would cause some trouble.
Hm!?
Hearing the Ice River Giant Beast's clone's words, Hu Yanqing's brow furrowed. In the next moment, with a whoosh.
Two figures appeared in the field. These two were Ye Xuan and the elf clone, Ba Xuan, who was at the peak of the Fourth Order Great Emperor.
"They're actually a group??"
Hu Yanqing's brow furrowed as he saw Ye Xuan and the elf clone.
"No."
A subordinate of his, a peak Seventh Order Great Emperor, looked suspicious. "Lord Hu Yan, that brat is Ye Xuan, ranked second in the competition. And the other is Ba Xuan, the elf, ranked fiftieth!!"
"Oh?"
"Ye Xuan? That kid from Atlantis Star? They're together??"
Hu Yanqing was clearly a bit surprised. After all, it was unusual for the first and second ranked to know each other.
"However, this is good."
"We can solve the trouble in one go, and Futou will work even harder for our Heavenly Wolf Empire."
With this thought, Hu Yanqing no longer hesitated. "Attack!"
With a command, a peak Seventh Order Great Emperor beside him immediately attacked.
Carrying a terrifying attack, he lunged towards the three of them, clearly intending to eliminate them in one move. However, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone did not move, nor did the elf clone.
Zzzt~~
Explosive lightning surged, followed by a powerful Seventh Order Great Emperor aura. A slap landed on the side of the peak Seventh Order Great Emperor's face. Under this slap, terrifying lightning engulfed the peak Seventh Order Great Emperor.
When the lightning dissipated, the peak Seventh Order Great Emperor had already turned into a corpse lying on the ground, with lightning flickering all around him.
"This..."
The elf clone's pupils contracted sharply as it witnessed this scene. "Holy cow!"
"Is it true? My main body actually slapped a peak Seventh Order Great Emperor to death!"
Then, Ye Xuan produced a spatial bag, his divine sense sweeping over it.
"500 top-grade Emperor Crystals, tsk tsk~"
"As expected of a peak Seventh Order Great Emperor."
His calm voice echoed in the ears of the Ice River Giant Beast's clone and the elf clone. Both were shocked. Holy cow, these scoundrels were so rich.
Damn it, they were rich!!
For a moment, their eyes were filled with a greedy glint.
"I'll handle this Eighth Order Great Emperor. You two, divide the remaining spatial bags."
"Presumptuous!!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Hu Yanqing's lungs almost exploded. "Brat, you're seeking death!!"
Seeing this, even a fool like Hu Yanqing now knew that the second-ranked individual was their leader. Although his realm was only Seventh Order Great Emperor, it was truly unfathomable. However, in front of his Eighth Order Great Emperor, it was still not enough!
Then, an Emperor Armament appeared in his hand. It was a Fang Tian Hua Ji, subtly resonating with the energy. With the augmentation of the Emperor Armament, Hu Yanqing's combat power clearly surged by another point.
"Die!"
With terrifying energy, he attacked Ye Xuan. However, Ye Xuan's lips curved into a smile. He activated his time ability, and in the next moment, as if traversing space, he instantly appeared in front of Hu Yanqing and struck his chest with a palm. Terrifying lightning power instantly annihilated his internal organs into nothingness.
Hu Yanqing's eyes widened in disbelief, his face filled with horror and incredulity in his final moments. "You... How is this possible!?"
Yes!
Hu Yanqing couldn't comprehend how he, an Eighth Order Great Emperor whose combat power was enough to contend with a peak Eighth Order Great Emperor, was instantly killed by this Seventh Order Great Emperor brat. With deep unwillingness, Hu Yanqing, the Eighth Order Great Emperor and guest elder of the Heavenly Wolf Empire, perished on the spot.
At the same time, a spatial bag landed steadily in Ye Xuan's hand.
