The Qi Cultivation Emperor Who Snatches Brides, do you think you're funny?

Jiang Tian snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain and arrogance, and shouted, "You want to use the power of my Jiang family's quasi-emperor weapon to fight us? How utterly laughable!"

Having said that, his expression instantly became calm and composed. He steadily picked up the quasi-emperor-level chessboard with both hands, and in an instant, countless mysterious and intricate patterns on the chessboard lit up, their light dazzling and brilliant. It was as if each pattern contained endless power of heaven and earth, waiting for its master's summons.

The black chess piece that was originally rushing towards the Jiang family felt the pull and suppression of the same source of power, and immediately began to vibrate violently, emitting a series of buzzing sounds in the air, as if it was struggling and resisting.

However, under the vast power of the Quasi-Emperor Chessboard, it was ultimately unable to break free. The speed of the chess piece gradually slowed down, and then it slowly changed direction, flying towards the chessboard, and finally disappearing into the radiant chessboard.

The moment the chess piece entered the chessboard, the entire world seemed to be stirred. The sky suddenly darkened, and the previously bright sky was instantly covered by dark clouds. The clouds were an eerie black color, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring. The lightning bolts darted and raged through the clouds like dragons, and deafening roars could be heard from time to time, as if the heavens and earth were roaring in anger at the collision of such powerful forces.

The ground began to tremble violently, and cracks spread outward from the Jiang family mansion. Houses shook, and some of the more fragile buildings collapsed instantly, raising clouds of dust.

Although the Jiang family members were prepared, they couldn't help but change their expressions slightly under the power that caused the world to change color, and they all circulated their spiritual power to stabilize themselves.

After absorbing the black pieces, the chessboard shone even brighter, slowly rising into the air and growing larger until it enveloped the entire world in the blink of an eye. The chessboard, exuding an ancient and vast aura, seemed to transform into a world, encompassing everything within it.

The force that flew from the direction of the Li family was like an ant trying to shake a tree in the face of this world formed by the chessboard. It was instantly refined and vanished without a trace, without even causing a ripple.

Holding the chessboard, Jiang Tian appeared even taller and more imposing. He exuded a cold and undeniable majesty, his gaze piercing through layers of space, directly towards the direction of the Li family. His eyes were filled with indifference and disdain, as if silently rebuking the Li family for their overestimation of their abilities, daring to challenge the prestige of the Jiang family. Even with the help of a mysterious expert, they were nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of the Jiang family's sacred artifact.

Just when Jiang Tian thought he had regained control of the situation and demonstrated the supreme authority of the Jiang family, the mysterious expert from the Li family who had previously held down the black chess piece with two fingers chuckled. The laughter was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, sounding particularly jarring in the tense and oppressive atmosphere.

"Is that so?" The mysterious expert spoke slowly, his voice calm yet exuding an undeniable power, as if every word he uttered contained endless profound meaning, capable of penetrating space and reaching the depths of everyone's hearts.

With this question, an even more magnificent and vast aura soared into the sky from where the Li family was located. The aura was so powerful that it instantly broke through the oppressive force created by the chessboard covering the sky and earth, and swept in all directions.

The crowd, who were already struggling to breathe under the pressure of the Jiang family's chessboard, now felt as if another invisible mountain was pressing down on them, and this mountain was even heavier than before, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

The Jiang family members' expressions changed drastically. They never expected that this mysterious expert, after taking a blow from the Jiang family's quasi-emperor weapon and witnessing the chess piece being refined, could still remain so calm and composed, and exude such a powerful aura far exceeding that before. This was undoubtedly a more intense provocation against the Jiang family.

"Patriarch, this person... this person is truly terrifying. Such strength has probably already surpassed the Saint King realm. Could he be a legendary Quasi-Emperor?" Jiang Shu looked at Jiang Tian with a terrified expression, his voice becoming shrill due to extreme tension.

In the world of cultivation, quasi-emperors are almost mythical beings, each possessing the immense power to turn the world upside down with a flick of their wrist. If they were to truly face such beings, even with sacred artifacts in hand, the Jiang family would likely find it difficult to gain the upper hand.

Jiang Tian frowned deeply, a solemn look flashing in his deep eyes. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he understood that the strength of the mysterious expert before him was far beyond what they could easily contend with. But as the head of the Jiang family, how could he back down at this moment? He immediately shouted, "Hmph, regardless of whether he is a quasi-emperor or not, my Jiang family will not let this go today. If we allow him to provoke us like this without doing anything, how will my Jiang family maintain its standing in the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty in the future? Elders and deacons, follow me and activate the sacred artifact with all your might! I want to see just how strong he really is!"

Their sacred artifacts are also quasi-Emperor weapons!
Jiang Tian's words sent a chill down the spines of the Jiang family members. They knew there was no turning back now, so they immediately responded and poured their spiritual power into the chessboard artifact without reservation.

In an instant, the light on the chessboard surged again, and the already intricate and mysterious patterns flickered even more dazzlingly, as if trying to break free from the chessboard's constraints and unleash an even more terrifying power.

Meanwhile, at the Li family's side, the mysterious expert remained calm and composed. Strange ripples began to appear in the space around him, and beams of light emerged from these ripples, slowly converging behind him to gradually form a dreamlike and enchanting scroll imbued with endless mystery. On the scroll, mountains, rivers, stars, the sun, and the moon appeared one by one, seemingly containing the secrets of the entire world. Every detail was lifelike, captivating anyone who looked at it, making it impossible to look away.

Li Xuan watched this scene with great interest.

He said casually, "This quasi-emperor weapon is quite interesting."

After saying that, he gently raised his hand and pointed at the painting. In an instant, the painting shone brightly, and the mountains, rivers, stars, sun and moon seemed to come alive, turning into dazzling streams of light that surged toward the direction of the Jiang family.

This stream of light, though seemingly beautiful and dazzling, actually contained a world-destroying power. Wherever it passed, space was torn open with dark cracks, as if the entire world was wailing in agony under such power.

Upon seeing this, the Jiang family members' expressions turned extremely grim. They could feel the terrifying power rushing towards them, and they immediately exerted all their strength to activate the chessboard artifact, attempting to resist this fierce attack.

In an instant, the two powerful forces collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a dazzling light that illuminated the entire Eastern Wilderness like a blazing sun. Even cultivators thousands of miles away were startled by the sudden burst of light and looked over, wondering what earth-shattering event had occurred.

At the center of this light, violent spiritual energy raged wildly, sweeping outwards like a surging tide. The buildings around the Jiang family mansion that had not yet collapsed were instantly razed to the ground. Some Jiang family disciples who could not dodge in time were hit by the aftershocks of this spiritual energy and were directly blown up. The whole scene was chaotic and extremely tragic.

The members of the various families had already retreated far away, their eyes wide with shock as they stared at the center of the dazzling light.

Someone with a solemn expression stepped forward to protect everything, muttering to themselves.

"The Jiang family has really bitten off more than they can chew!"
