Chapter 711: Celestial Emperor of Nephrite Major, Zhao Shenguang (1/2)

The East and South Sea emperors, as well as the dragon emperor of the Untroubled Sea promptly left without a second thought.

“Stop them, quick!” Ge Yanxia shrieked. “They’re Lu Yun’s allies, all of them! I’m sure they’re going to join him now.”

The combination of two monster emperors and a dragon emperor was a fearsome one. With them by his side, Lu Yun would have no issue activating the Sovereign Stele and setting foot in the central world. Sadly, the three had long disappeared into the distance.

“It’s too late, you people can’t stop them from leaving.” Strongest of the group, the Primus celestial emperor shook his head. “Let us go to the Sovereign Stele now. Since this sealed stele can’t be ours… we must prevent Lu Yun from attaining the ancient immortal emperor’s treasure at all costs!”

His eyes glinted menacingly. The lord of Destiny City had no strong opinion one way or the other, so he looked up at the figure of Qi Hai hovering in the sky, who gently shook his head.

“Indeed, we can’t let Lu Yun get his hands on the treasure… With the protection of the sword formation, Dusk Province is already as impregnable as Mount Tai. If he gains such a treasure on top of it, the world of immortals will be his sooner or later,” Qi Hai asserted meaningfully.

“If Dusk’s powerhouses ever happen to launch an offensive, I fear the few of us wouldn’t be able to stop them by ourselves,” Ge Yanxia responded uneasily.

Dusk Province could count on a holy lord from the underworld, the first void-ascended immortal Mo Yi, and the enigmatic Lu Feng. Furthermore, Chen Xiao and Qing Buyi, two unholy devils that’d once terrorized the entire world, had returned. Most likely, their battle strength was at origin dao immortal realm, if not greater.

A combined assault from all of those mighty figures would be impossible to fend off, even with the gathering currently assembled in Destiny City. Everyone’s gaze landed on Silverlight; among them, she was undoubtedly the strongest.

“Not to worry. This is Destiny City, not a place that just anyone can run wild in,” Qi Hai reassured. “Incidentally, there’s more heavyweights in the world at large than one can imagine. If they ever dare go too far, someone or another will be along to deal with them.”

Awkward shrugs rose and fell in the crowd. Chen Xiao and Qing Buyi were fiends who’d never let anything stop them. “Too far” didn’t exist in their vocabulary.

“Indeed, if one could truly do as they pleased in this world, Goldenlight and I would’ve long conquered the ten lands and occupied the nine majors.”

Quite a few shuddered at Silverlight’s words. There were eighteen complete origin dao immortals at Levitating Island’s command. Lacking heavenly mandates and imperial treasures, no current celestial emperor would be their opponents.

……

In fact, the East and South Sea emperors, as well as the dragon emperor of the Untroubled Sea, didn’t go to Lu Yun. They’d discussed the matter with him in Dusk Province beforehand and decided on a plan of action, hence why they weren’t particularly worried.

Meanwhile, layers upon layers of seals were added to the Sovereign Stele. The Primus celestial emperor personally added numerous restrictions to protect the giant stele. Not even a fly would be able to slip through the defenses.

There had to be more than two methods to activate the stele. Before a third way could be found, no one was to be allowed within three thousand meters of it.

At the break of dawn the next day, a great rumbling came from the air as a blindingly white avenue fell from the sky and crashed into the Primus celestial emperor’s restrictions. Under the impact, the great formation that contained the power of the celestial emperor’s origin dao fruits instantly shattered.

The Path of Ingress!

“Who is it?!” The Primus celestial emperor broke out of his meditation and sprang to his feet, two aureate rays erupting from his eyes as he took stock of the situation. Since there was a Path of Ingress in Lu Yun’s possession, his first thought was that the little bastard had come a-knocking.
