Chapter 921: Father, Grandfather, Aunt!

A Path Annihilation Realm expert!

Everyone turned and saw a woman clad in a robe that seemed to have been made of fresh blood.

Blood-red lightning bolts crackled around her, and her eyes were filled with a sea of vicious, blood-red lightning bolts, making her look menacing and evil.

The Third Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance!

Ru Yuan and the others were shocked.

She was a Path Annihilation Realm expert as well?

Swoosh!

Ye Guan suddenly appeared next to Emperor Yong.

He grabbed the blood-red sword lodged in Emperor Yong with his right hand, but as soon as he touched it, a terrifying surge of tribulation lightning blasted him back a thousand meters away.

Ye Guan was about to charge forward again, but Emperor Yong stopped him. “Young Master Ye, do not come close. This power is beyond your current capacity to withstand.”

Ye Guan halted, filled with anxiety. He opened his palm, summoning the Qingxuan Sword to Emperor Yong’s side. “Senior, use my sword!”

Emperor Yong looked at it and did not hesitate. He reached out and gripped the sword.

Boom!

The moment he held the Qingxuan Sword, his eyes narrowed sharply. The next instant, he swung the sword at the sword lodged in his chest.

Bam!

The blood-red sword shattered immediately, dispersing into blood-red energy waves.

Emperor Yong glanced at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand, his expression growing serious.

Ye Guan and the others gathered beside Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong said in a serious tone, “Ye Guan, this sword is exceedingly powerful. You must use it with caution. Over-reliance on it will breed dependence, which could affect your true nature and the purity of your self.”

“I will remember your advice, Senior.” Ye Guan nodded. Then, he took out a Dao Fruit and offered it to Emperor Yong, saying, “Senior, please heal your wounds first.”

Emperor Yong didn't refuse. After consuming the Dao Fruit, he handed the Qingxuan Sword back to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan hesitated before speaking.

Emperor Yong, understanding his hesitation, said, “It’s not that I’m stubborn, but I’m not a sword cultivator. This sword wouldn’t be of much help to me. In addition, using it means borrowing someone else’s Dao, which will do me more harm than good.”

After pondering over it for a while, Ye Guan nodded and took back the Qingxuan Sword. He then looked at the Evil Dao Alliance’s Third Hall Master in the sky and asked Emperor Yong, “Senior, can you still make a breakthrough?”

Emperor Yong glanced at the approaching Third Hall Master and shook his head. "That sword has left behind a lightning tribulation inside me. Even if I manage to get rid of it, she won’t give me the opportunity to make a breakthrough.”

Emperor Yong's expression grew solemn. “She is stronger than Emperor Zhaowu.”

Stronger than Emperor Zhaowu?

The expressions of those around Ye Guan darkened. Dao Emperor Zhaowu’s power was already unimaginable, but the Third Hall Master was actually even stronger than him? The thought of confronting such an expert was terrifying.

At this moment, even Li Suifeng and Ru Yuan began to feel a sense of despair.

“I saw her come out of the Eighth Heaven. Could she be from there?” asked Ye Guan.

Li Suifeng shook his head. “She's not a prisoner; she's a challenger. I encountered her before, but we didn't fight. She went straight to the Eighth Heaven.”

Ye Guan looked at the Third Hall Master. Ever since she walked out, her gaze had been fixed on Emperor Yong. Her eyes were devoid of emotions, cold to the point of making one shiver.

She wasn't human—she was an Evil Dao!

Ye Guan had encountered Evil Daos before, but never one as the woman before him. As for the Evil Dao of the True Universe, it was being suppressed, so he had no idea how strong it truly was.

Everyone’s gaze turned to her. Tianwu Shi and the others were overjoyed. If the Evil Dao Alliance hadn't made a move, and Emperor Yong managed to break through, who here would be able to stop him?

No one, not even Dao Emperor Zhaowu...

Earlier, they despaired upon seeing Emperor Yong's attempt to make a breakthrough. He was already a terrifying Path Creation Realm expert.

If he were to break through and reach the Path Annihilation Realm, who'd be able to stop him? Even if there were two Dao Emperor Zhaowus, there was no way they'd be able to stop him.

After all, Emperor Yong was capable of skipping realms. Once he reached the Path Annihilation Realm, he'd be invincible among those of the same realm as him.

Fortunately, the Evil Dao Alliance's reinforcement had arrived.

Tianwu Shi glanced at Tianwu Xin down below.

Sensing her ancestor’s gaze on her, Tianwu Xin bowed respectfully.

"You made the right choice," Tianwu Shi remarked, "Once this is over, you'll be awarded with the greatest merit.”

Tianwu Xin was overjoyed, and she hurriedly bowed in gratitude. The displeasure from having her fleshly body destroyed earlier was instantly forgotten.

Tianwu Shi withdrew his gaze and sneered at Li Ming.

Li Ming ignored his gaze and stared at Ye Guan with his thoughts imperceptible.

Meanwhile, Dao Emperor Zhaowu looked at the Third Hall Master.

This was his first time encountering her.

The Second Hall Master was the one who recruited him into the Evil Dao Alliance, which was why he had never seen the Third Hall Master before.

He had to admit that he was shocked; her strength was indeed extraordinary.

Just then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Third Hall Master suddenly took a step forward and clenched her right hand. A blood-red tribulation sword appeared in her hand.

Crack!

The moment the tribulation sword appeared, countless blood-red lightning bolts filled the Ascension World. These lightning bolts spread out like a massive net, engulfing everything.

A terrifying aura of tribulation pervaded the heavens and the earth.

Everyone could feel that the aura's strength surpassed the strength of Dao Emperor Zhaowu’s aura.

All of a sudden, the Third Hall Master transformed into a streak of blood-red sword light and vanished from sight.

Emperor Yong narrowed his eyes. With a swift wave of his sleeve, he sent Ye Guan and the others flying tens of thousands of meters away with a gentle wave of energy. Ignoring his injuries, he clenched his right hand into a fist and threw a powerful punch!

Dao Annihilation Divine Fist!

A terrifying surge of power erupted like a volcanic explosion, clashing head-on with the oncoming sword strike.

Boom!

A kaleidoscope of fist lights and lightning bolts manifested, and Emperor Yong flew tens of thousands of meters away.

However, as soon as he came to a stop, terrifying waves of energy erupted from within him once more. He was forcing another breakthrough!

With his hands clenched tightly and his long hair billowing wildly, a series of terrifying auras continued to surge out from within him, each one stronger and more fearsome than the last.

Boom!

A myriad of tribulation lightning bolts erupted from Emperor Yong. Although they had been shattered, they couldn’t be extinguished. Emperor Yong tried his best to push them out, and his aura surged once again.

Emperor Yong knew well that the Third Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance was different from Dao Emperor Zhaowu. She was far stronger than Dao Emperor Zhaowu. He had to make a breakthrough into the Path Annihilation Realm, or he wouldn't be her match!

Seeing that, Li Suifeng said, “Young Master Ye, lend me your sword. I’ll buy some time for Emperor Yong.”

Without hesitation, Ye Guan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in Li Suifeng’s hand. Moments later, Li Suifeng transformed into a streak of sword light, soaring to the sky to attack the Third Hall Master.

A trace of disdain flashed in the Third Hall Master’s eyes.

She raised her sword and swung it.

Crackle!

Boom!

The tribulation sword in the Third Hall Master’s hands shattered, but Li Suifeng was blasted tens of kilometers away.

Seeing her tribulation sword shatter, surprise flashed in the Third Hall Master's eyes, but she didn't dwell on it nor chase after Li Suifeng. Her gaze turned toward Emperor Yong, whose aura was still surging wildly.

Without hesitation, she summoned another tribulation sword.

She couldn't allow him to make a breakthrough.

Swoosh!

She vanished from the spot, and a blood-red sword light made a beeline for Emperor Yong. Just then, Li Suifeng blocked her path once again, roaring as he slashed out with the Qingxuan Sword.

Boom!

The two sword lights clashed and shattered, sending Li Suifeng flying once more. This time, his fleshly body was charred by the blood-red tribulation lightning.

When he finally came to a stop, he shook the Qingcuan Sword sword, shattering the tribulation lightning bolts that were clinging to his soul. If it hadn't been for the Qingxuan Sword, the attack just now would have destroyed both his fleshly body and soul.

The Third Hall Master was also forced to retreat. She glanced at her right hand, which had become illusory.

Everyone noticed that, and someone exclaimed, “She’s just an avatar!”

Ru Yuan and the others’ expressions changed drastically.

An avatar? She is so powerful, but that isn’t even her true body?

Even Dao Emperor Zhaowu found it hard to believe that she was just an avatar. No one would have noticed that she was just an avatar if Ye Guan's sword hadn't injured her.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu’s expression grew serious.

He had clearly underestimated the mysterious Third Hall Master.

As for the Second Hall Master, whom he had met a long time ago...

Dao Emperor Zhaowu's expression became grave.

Ye Guan was astonished as well. He didn't expect that the Third Hall Master was merely an avatar. An avatar with power comparable to that of Dao Emperor Zhaowu? This was just absurd.

At this moment, no one was more delighted than Tianwu Shi and his allies. The revelation was like a pillow delivery while they were sleepy. They assumed that the Third Hall Master was here in her true form, but to their surprise, she was just an avatar.

Her avatar was already so powerful, so how terrifying was her real body?

Tianwu Shi and Wuma Xing smiled, and they no longer felt worried.

The situation was now under control.

The two of them exchanged glances and then looked over at Li Ming in the distance. When they saw Li Ming's grim face, they chuckled, feeling immensely satisfied. Their gaze then shifted to Li Han, whose face was also grim.

They laughed even louder upon seeing that.

As the founding ancestors of their respective clans, what do they fear the most? Naturally, they feared having incompetent descendants, as a single fool could bring disaster upon the entire clan; and Li Han was undoubtedly the biggest fool among fools!

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted once more from Emperor Yong, and he advanced from the Path Creation Realm to the half-step Path Annihilation Realm. He was on the verge of making a complete breakthrough!

Li Suifeng stared intently at the Evil Dao Alliance’s Third Hall Master, but she made no move at all.

Li Suifeng frowned at the sight of it.

Ye Guan also felt that something was amiss.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu clenched his right fist, clearly not intending to let his opponent make a breakthrough at this critical juncture.

Boom!

Emperor Yong’s aura surged once more—a breakthrough was imminent!

Meanwhile, the Third Hall Master's figure became completely illusory.

Everyone was puzzled.

“Ah!” Emperor Yong roared in fury, tilting his head back. Terrifying waves of energy erupted from within him as his aura reached its peak.

Swoosh!

The Third Hall Master vanished like a wisp of smoke. Then, a spacetime rift was torn open. A lady in a blood-red robe emerged from it. The Third Hall Master's true body was here!

Li Suifeng decisively ignited his soul, transforming into a streak of sword light that shot straight toward her.

A look of disdain flashed in the Third Hall Master's eyes as she flicked her sleeve, sending a wave of blood-red energy toward Li Suifeng.

Boom!

The sword light shattered, and Li Suifeng was sent flying tens of thousands of meters away.

When he finally came to a stop, his figure became faint and translucent. If not for the Qingxuan Sword, his soul would have been obliterated. His soul was still intact, but he had completely lost the ability to fight.

Meanwhile, the Third Hall Master disappeared once again. In the blink of an eye, a blood-red sword pierced Emperor Yong’s chest.

Emperor Yong's eyes widened in shock as his aura was instantly curbed.

The Third Hall Master glared coldly at him. “Do you really think you’re worthy of opposing the Evil Dao Alliance?”

She twisted the sword in her hand, and Emperor Yong was lifted into the air.

“Young friend. I’m sorry... I tried my best,” Emperor Yong muttered with closed eyes. Then, he clenched his fists. His burning fleshly body and soul suddenly swelled—he was about to self-destruct!

Ye Guan was horrified, and he hurriedly shouted, “Father!”

“Father?” Tianwu Xin sneered, “You're calling your father? Hahaha, even your grandfather can't help you out of this!”

Ye Guan seemed to have lost his mind as he screamed once again, “Grandfather!”

Boom!

Two spacetime rifts manifested; a man in a blue robe and a man in a white robe emerged from the spacetime rifts.

Everyone frowned. Who were they?

Boom!

Another spacetime rift manifested, and a lady in a plain skirt walked out of it.

The Evil Dao Alliance’s Third Hall Master swept her gaze across the three of them, looking at them as if they were mere ants.

“The whole family is here. Perfect timing, I can bury you all together.”
