Emperor Zhenwu fought one against five, displaying unparalleled bravery and absurd strength. Every swing of his hoe sent the surroundings into turmoil with an explosion of divine light.

Sword Emperor Jun Huan displayed sword dao so magnificent and gorgeous that its beauty could not be expressed in words. She singlehandedly suppressed three Emperor Ancestors until they couldn’t even raise their heads.

The extraordinary skills displayed by the two of them made the group of Emperors inwardly tremble and caused their expressions to change.

Strong!

If they hadn't personally witnessed it, they would never have imagined that these Fangchun Mountain disciples would possess such heaven-defying strength.

One must know that an Emperor Ancestor was an almighty entity who had reached the Ninth Realm Emperor Stage and achieved Ancestor reversion. Even in powerful factions like the Great Six Courts, such existences were akin to pillars that could support the entire faction.

Yet, even eight of these Emperor Ancestors seemed powerless against two Fangchun Mountain disciples!

"If I reach that realm, won’t I be able to go anywhere in the universe?"

Desire burned in Xia Xinglie’s eyes.

He was only a single step from reaching the Ancestor reversion realm!

Lin Xun opened his eyes wide, hoping to get a better look.

However, the battle between Emperor Ancestors was simply too vast and dreadful. It was impossible for him to get a proper view at his current level.

All he could see was that despite being surrounded, Senior Brother Pu Zhen and Senior Sister Jun Huan were easily handling the situation and were even in an advantageous position!

Lin Xun couldn’t help but inwardly tremble, unable to believe that such a situation was possible.

People said that he possessed heaven-defying combat prowess and was essentially invincible in the Saint Stage. However, he was nothing compared to Pu Zhen and Jun Huan.

Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded, "Dao Brothers, please lend a helping hand to Tianlan and the others."

Several figures appeared as the words rang out.

Each of them felt akin to a supreme ruler and pulsed with power that made the void wail in agony.

It was another group of Emperor Ancestors!

As soon as they appeared, they rushed to the depths of the cosmos to join the battle against Pu Zhen and Jun Huan.

"Great!"

"This should let us easily kill the two surviving Fangchun Mountain devils!"

A commotion arose as Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor and the other Emperors cheered. Although they couldn’t intervene in a clash between Emperor Ancestors, they knew that it would be difficult for Jun Huan and Pu Zhen to break out of the encirclement no matter how powerful they were.

Lin Xun's heart sank as he quietly clenched his fists.

He couldn't help but wonder how many more Emperor Ancestors were still lurking near Mount Cloud at the moment.

"I'm going to help Jun Huan!"

Ji Xuan could no longer idly sit by. Thunder roared from him as an astonishing aura spread.

Xia Xinglie frowned. "You only have a little primordial spirit power left yet you still want to risk your life?"

"If something happened to Jun Huan, my life would become meaningless."

With a deep breath, Ji Xuan rose into the air.

"You overestimate yourself!"

A sneer sounded as Flaming Sky Demon Emperor and Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor moved to stop Ji Xuan.

Rumble!

Flaming Sky Demon Emperor raised his hand and a golden halberd rushed forth, accompanied by waves of ferocious Emperor Dao Laws.

Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor twirled his fist, summoning a giant fist seal that pressed from the side.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Xuan was stopped in his tracks.

If he were in his prime, he could have destroyed the two of them with a wave of his hand. Unfortunately, all that was left of him was a sliver of primordial spirit power.

Even if he attacked with his full power, he wouldn’t be able to break free from them, let alone help Jun Huan.

Ji Xuan was furious. "Do you think this can stop me?"

"Please don’t risk your life!" Xia Xinglie's pupils shrank as if guessing Ji Xuan's thoughts.

Lin Xun quickly said, "Elder, please go and help Elder Ji Xuan."

Xia Xinglie frowned. "What about you?"

𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"I naturally won’t be completely helpless."

Lin Xun’s expression was calm.

"Good!"

Xia Xinglie moved immediately. With a clang, his sword cried out as he soared into the air, emitting a terrifying and boundless pressure.

To Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor, with the exception of Emperor Ancestors, no other Emperor was a threat to him.

He had only held back previously because he wanted to protect Lin Xun.

However, Xia Xinglie was targeted by a terrifying intent the moment he moved, causing him to pause as iciness flashed in his eyes.

A low, raspy voice sounded, "Xia Xinglie, your opponent is me."

A purple-haired man appeared out of nowhere. He had a cold expression and wore a scarlet crane cloak that made him look rather heroic.

In his hand was a dark green spear whose tip seemed to glare endlessly.

"Nalan Qi, are you opposing me as well?"

A fierce light gleamed in Xia Xinglie's eyes as alarming sword intent spread.

Nalan Qi!

He was an ancient from the Imperial Nalan Clan. He was an Emperor who had attained the pinnacle of the spear and was known as the Spear Point Emperor!

"Is there any reason why I can’t?"

Nalan Qi’s expression was cold and stern as he brandished his spear and advanced.

"In that case, I will chop off your head today!"

Xia Xinglie laughed as he aggressively positioned his sword.

One was the Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor while the other was the Spear Point Emperor. A sword and a spear carved open their own zone in the battlefield, marking the start of the battle.

Boom!

Dreadful Emperor power swallowed the battlefield. All that could be seen were sweeping sword qi and numerous spear shadows reflected onto the sky.

Lin Xun grew nervous.

Ji Xuan and Xia Xinglie were being restricted while Jun Huan and Pu Zhen were surrounded by a group of Emperor Ancestors.

It seemed that the scales had tipped once more.

Even the Emperors present were dazzled and unable to believe their eyes.

In other words, even they had not expected so many terrifying and legendary figures to appear one after another.

Someone whispered, "Could it be that after nearly a hundred thousand years, another Dao War of Emperors is about to take place again?"

Rustle!

A golden lotus soundlessly appeared beneath Lin Xun. Its rapidly blooming petals flowed with mysterious Emperor dao light as it sought to swallow him whole.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun appeared completely oblivious.

An Emperor had made his or her move and that power was far beyond someone of Lin Xun’s level.

In the dark, a gray-robed old woman smiled.

However, her smile stiffened a split second later.

The golden lotus she released was suddenly struck by a jade ruler.

Pah!

The golden lotus shuddered as its blooming petals withered one by one and turned to ashes.

Immediately after, the jade ruler did a circular sweep around Lin Xun.

In an instant, an alms bowl was sent flying, a red jade belt was struck and rolled back into itself, and a jade-green gourd was knocked down from the air...

In other words, the jade ruler struck down three treasures which were originally hiding and waiting to ambush Lin Xun!

Evidently, the gray-robed old woman wasn’t the only one to take action. Three other terrifying individuals had also made their moves, aiming to capture Lin Xun and seize his chaos treasure!

If not for the jade ruler, they would have probably succeeded.

Lin Xun, who only now realized what was happening, shivered in fear. His scalp tingled wildly as cold sweat soaked the clothes on his back.

"Who?"

"Damnit!"

"My plan failed..."

Angry voices rang out, attracting the attention of other powerhouses present.

Everyone looked over and saw that a figure had appeared beside Lin Xun at some unknown time.

He wore a scholar’s hat, a wide belt, a wide-sleeved scholar robe, and was holding a book in his hand. He had clear eyes, a straight posture, and a presence that felt as gentle as jade.

It was the picture of a well-mannered and well-read nobleman.

However, the sight of this scholarly man made the other Emperors feel a heart-palpitating chill!

"Junior Brother, my Dharma name is Xue Ya, and I am number nineteenth in the sect."

The scholarly man’s eyes were clear and gentle as he spoke.

His voice flowed into Lin Xun’s heart like a stream and washed away all of his anxiety, replacing it with peace and tranquility.

Nineteenth Senior Brother, Xue Ya!

Lin Xun recalled that Thousand Feather Sword Flower had asked him to give the Hearing Snow Bamboo Sword to Senior Brother Xue Ya.

However, he never imagined that he would meet Senior Brother Xue Ya in such a situation.

"Greetings Senior Brother."

Lin Xun felt a surge of gratitude. He knew that if it weren't for Senior Brother Xue Ya, he would have most certainly met with a horrible mishap.

"We can talk after we resolve the current situation."

Xue Ya smiled and patted Lin Xun on the shoulder. He then looked to the battlefield as a hint of coldness emerged in his clear, gentle eyes.

Meanwhile, the crowd of Emperors revealed bewildered expressions.

Xue Ya was an unfamiliar name to them. However, was there anyone who didn’t know Fangchun Mountain’s nineteenth disciple, Top Scholar Lang?

As the saying went, Emperor Top Scholar Lang’s wisdom could move the world!

Since long ago, Xue Ya had been regarded as one of the most outstanding Emperors and was a legendary figure who earned the title of Top Scholar due to his Emperor Dao attainments!

A deep voice sounded, "Top Scholar Lang, I didn't expect you would still be alive...wasn’t it rumored that you had encountered a mishap on your way to the other side of the cosmos?"

"How can rumors be taken seriously?"

Sadness filled Xue Ya's eyes. "My biggest regret is that I went searching for the other side of the cosmos. Otherwise, I would not have missed the Dao War of Emperors..."

A cold snort sounded. "Hmph! You would have probably died if you participated back then."

"Is that so?"

The sadness in Xue Ya's eyes vanished and was replaced by a hint of indifference.

He raised his hand and pointed at the void.

Swish!

A green jade ruler flew out and abruptly swung at the void.

The jade ruler smashed onto a certain spot, causing it to collapse with a loud boom.

At the same time, a figure groaned and staggered out. It was the gray-robed old woman who had attacked Lin Xun earlier.

She quickly clasped her hands together, creating several golden lotuses to stop the approaching jade ruler.

Rumble!

An earth-shaking collision followed, causing the surroundings to darken.

The green jade ruler easily smashed through every obstruction and repeatedly struck the gray-robed old woman until she bled profusely. All of her resistance was rendered useless.

In the end, her body and primordial spirit was smashed to pieces.

It had taken only a brief few moments for an extremely powerful Emperor to lose her life!

"The one who dies...is you..."

Xue Ya softly sighed as his robe fluttered in the wind.
