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

Yang Zhizun's eyes widened, filled with shock and horror. His arrogant smile was still frozen on his face, but it was now filled with endless fear.

He never imagined that the moment he uttered those arrogant words, death would follow him like a shadow.

The moment that hand pressed down on his head, he clearly felt that the power of the Great Dao he had painstakingly cultivated over many years, and the power of the laws that enabled him to roam the cultivation world, vanished in an instant, like a fragile bubble.

Those powerful forces that he was once proud of and regarded as the foundation of his life were utterly powerless against this absolute suppression, and vanished into nothingness with ease.

"You...you are the Great Emperor Taixuan!" Yang Zhizun uttered these words with difficulty, his voice filled with undisguised trembling and despair.

At this moment, he finally saw the face of the person behind him clearly. It was none other than the Great Emperor Tai Xuan, whom the Cloud Emperor feared and whom he himself despised.

That cold, stern face and those deep, abyss-like eyes seemed to contain endless mysteries of heaven and earth, yet they also exuded a chilling majesty. With just one glance, Yang Zhizun felt as if his soul was being pierced through by that gaze.

His heart was filled with regret at this moment, regretting why he had been so arrogant, ignoring Emperor Yun's advice, and recklessly disregarding the prestige of Emperor Taixuan.

When he first heard Emperor Yun recount how Emperor Tai Xuan had slain the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, he dismissed it as a joke, an exaggeration, and even secretly mocked Emperor Yun's cowardice. But now, witnessing this terrifying scene firsthand, he realized how foolish and ignorant he had been.

"I...I have so despised you. I was blind and arrogant..." Yang Zhizun wanted to beg for mercy, but the words seemed so powerless when they reached his lips.

He knew all too well that with the powerful and ruthless methods of the Great Emperor Tai Xuan, how could he possibly let him go just because of his few words of pleading? But the instinct for survival in his heart still made him make a final struggle.

The surrounding supreme beings were also stunned by this sudden turn of events, standing frozen in place with wide eyes and faces full of disbelief.

Just moments ago, they were mocking Emperor Yun's cowardice and disdainful of Emperor Tai Xuan's prestige. Even Supreme Yang had boasted that he would kill Emperor Tai Xuan with a single finger. But in the blink of an eye, Supreme Yang was crushed to death by the mysteriously appearing Emperor Tai Xuan with a single palm strike right before their eyes, without even a chance to resist. This stark contrast left their minds blank, and a chill ran from their feet to their hearts, enveloping them in fear.

“Yang…Yang Supreme, just like that, he’s dead? Just how strong was this Tai Xuan Emperor? He was so easily killed…” A Supreme said in a hoarse voice, his words filled with deep fear and shock.

His body trembled slightly, and the contempt he had shown before was gone from his eyes when he looked at Emperor Taixuan. Instead, there was deep fear and apprehension, as if the person standing in front of them was not a human being, but a demon god from the Nine Nether Hells who could take their lives at any moment.

Emperor Yun's face turned deathly pale. Although he had long known of the terror of Emperor Tai Xuan, the shock he felt upon witnessing Yang Zhizun being killed so easily was still indescribable.

He secretly rejoiced that he had escaped quickly enough; otherwise, Yang Zhizun would probably be lying on the ground right now more than just the one lying there.

At the same time, his fear of Emperor Taixuan deepened. This emperor's strength seemed to be even more unfathomable than he had imagined.

"Tai Xuan? Arrogant! How dare you trespass into my Xuanming Forbidden Zone?! You're courting death!"

A supreme being with a black bone tower atop his head, his face obscured, looked at Li Xuan with a cold tone.

The Supreme Xuanming stood there, his aura surging, the black bone tower above his head emitting a cold and mysterious light, and wisps of black aura swirling around him, as if carrying endless gloom and death.

The origin of the Bone Tower is shrouded in mystery. It is said to have been forged from the bones of two great emperors and contains earth-shattering power. It usually intimidates all villains and makes the Xuanming Forbidden Zone famous far and wide.

Xuanming Supreme spoke coldly, his gaze towards Li Xuan filled with disdain, as if the person standing before him was not the Tai Xuan Emperor, whom everyone in the cultivation world revered, but an ant who was ignorant of his own mortality and dared to trespass into a forbidden area.

"Hmph, Tai Xuan? What do you think this Xuanming Forbidden Zone is, a place where you can come and go as you please, killing at will? Your arrogant actions today are courting death!" His voice echoed in the forbidden zone, carrying an unquestionable majesty, as if he had already determined the fate of Emperor Tai Xuan, which was to perish here.

He turned his head slightly, looking at the other Supreme Beings beside him who were still immersed in fear and shock, and shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, there is no need to panic. He is just the Great Emperor Tai Xuan. Although he has some prestige, he dared to trespass into my Xuanming Forbidden Zone alone today, which is a grave taboo. We have several Supreme Beings here. Are we afraid of him? Let's attack together and let him know our power, and let him pay the price for the death of Supreme Being Yang!"

The words of the Xuanming Supreme were filled with a powerful confidence, an absolute trust in his own strength and the foundation of the entire Xuanming Forbidden Zone. In his view, no matter how strong the Taixuan Emperor was, it was impossible for him to deal with the combined attack of several Supremes at the same time.

The other supreme beings were taken aback when they heard Xuanming Supreme's words, but then they seemed to be infected by his confidence and gradually came back to their senses.

They thought to themselves, "Indeed, the scene of Yang Supreme being killed by the Great Emperor Tai Xuan with a single palm strike was too shocking and made them lose their composure for a moment. But when they thought about it carefully, when have they ever been afraid of anyone in the Xuanming Forbidden Zone?"
This place is home to several supreme beings who stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world. Each of them possesses extraordinary strength and is further enhanced by numerous powerful magical treasures and restrictions. Even if the Great Emperor Tai Xuan is renowned, he is not powerful enough to defeat them all by fighting against one of them.
Tenglong Supreme gritted his teeth, a resolute look flashing in his eyes. He clenched his fists, and his aura suddenly surged. The mind that had been occupied by fear was now replaced by anger. After all, Yang Supreme and he had a fairly good relationship. Now, watching Yang Supreme die at the hands of Taixuan Emperor, the resentment in his heart was hard to quell.

"Brother Xuanming is right. We can't be intimidated by Emperor Taixuan like this. Let's attack together and avenge Yang Supreme!" he shouted, charging towards Emperor Taixuan first. His black robe fluttered in the wind, and the golden dragon embroidered on it seemed to come alive, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on Emperor Taixuan, carrying a tremendous force.

Seeing this, the other supreme beings also responded, each displaying their signature divine abilities. In an instant, the entire Xuanming Forbidden Zone shone brightly, with various powerful laws intertwining to form a dazzling yet dangerous light curtain.

The Supreme Being formed hand seals and chanted incantations. In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and bolts of lightning as thick as buckets darted through them like serpents before striking down fiercely at the Great Emperor Tai Xuan. Wherever the lightning passed, space was torn open with dark cracks, as if the entire world was trembling under this powerful force.

Some supreme beings took out their imperial weapons, which were divine swords that emitted seven-colored light. Countless mysterious runes were engraved on the blade. As they infused spiritual power into it, the divine sword instantly shone brightly, transforming into a giant sword a hundred feet long. Sword energy crisscrossed the blade, cutting through the void, and roared towards Emperor Taixuan, as if to cut him down and avenge his previous humiliation.

Emperor Yun stood to the side, his brows furrowed, yet he still felt some hesitation.

The death of Yang Zhizun was still fresh in his mind. The tragic scene made him deeply fearful of Emperor Taixuan. Now, seeing everyone taking action, although he was also affected by the atmosphere of shared hatred, his reason kept reminding him that Emperor Taixuan was not an easy opponent.

However, if he did not intervene under these circumstances, he would likely be criticized by the other supreme beings in the future, and might even be expelled from the Xuanming Forbidden Zone. After much thought, he gritted his teeth and began to circulate his spiritual power, preparing to lend a helping hand.

Emperor Taixuan stood at the center of the attack, yet his expression remained cold and fearless, as if the powerful offensive that could destroy a region was nothing more than a trivial trick in his eyes.

He simply stood there quietly, and only when all sorts of supernatural powers and magical treasures were about to strike him did he slowly raise his hand and gently wave it.

This seemingly casual wave contained boundless power of heaven and earth. A dazzling light screen surged from his hand. The light screen looked thin, but it was indestructible, like a transparent city wall, blocking all the forces that attacked him.

The lightning bolts struck the light barrier and instantly vanished; the hundred-foot-long giant sword slashed down, but could only create ripples on the light barrier, unable to penetrate it even slightly.

Upon seeing this, Xuanming Supreme's expression changed slightly, and he was secretly surprised. However, he still spoke toughly: "Hmph, Taixuan, don't think you can stop us like this. This is just an appetizer. Next, I'll let you taste the power of my Bone Tower!"

After saying that, he quickly formed hand seals and chanted an obscure incantation. The black bone tower above his head immediately began to spin, its speed increasing and its size growing larger. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a colossal tower that blotted out the sky. Rolling black mist surged from the tower's body, and faint, mournful screams could be heard from within the mist, as if countless wronged souls were struggling within it, enveloping the Great Emperor Tai Xuan.

The entire Xuanming Forbidden Zone trembled. This was a forbidden zone, capable of containing immense power; however, even it couldn't withstand the combined might of several Supreme Beings. Seeing the Xuanming Supreme Being unleash his ultimate technique, the remaining Supreme Beings felt a renewed surge of hope. They increased their spiritual energy output, their various divine abilities growing ever stronger. Combined with the black bone tower, they formed an overwhelming offensive, determined to completely suppress the Tai Xuan Emperor.

However, when Emperor Taixuan looked at the approaching black bone tower and the combined attack of the group, he only shook his head slightly, as if he was somewhat disappointed by their desperate struggle.

Suddenly, an even more powerful aura erupted from his body, like a blazing sun rising into the sky, instantly suppressing all the light around him. The black mist released by the black bone tower melted away rapidly under the impact of this aura, just like ice and snow meeting the warm sun.

Li Xuan glanced at the few Supreme Beings who were still putting up a stubborn resistance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. With a swift movement, he abandoned all the complicated spells and supernatural powers, and charged towards the crowd with only his bare fists.

His figure moved with lightning speed, each movement leaving a trail of afterimages, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of a supreme being.

This supreme being was the one who had just unleashed the lightning magic. At this moment, he was still doing his best to maintain the spell, trying to make those bolts of lightning as thick as buckets create greater obstacles for Li Xuan. However, he never expected that Li Xuan would arrive so quickly in front of him.

He stared wide-eyed in horror, and just as he was about to use other means to defend himself, Li Xuan's fist, which was wrapped in boundless power, had already been unleashed.

This punch, seemingly simple, contained the essence of the ultimate simplicity. It had no dazzling light or complex Daoist rhythms, yet this pure power caused the surrounding space to collapse instantly, forming a huge black vortex. It was as if everything around was converging towards this punch, about to be completely crushed.

With a loud "boom!", Li Xuan's fist slammed solidly into the Supreme Being's protective spiritual energy. The spiritual energy shield, which was originally as solid as a rock, shattered instantly like fragile glass under this punch.

Immediately afterwards, the force of the punch did not diminish, and it struck the Supreme Being's chest directly. In an instant, his chest caved in, and he flew backward, spitting out blood that stained a large area of ​​the void red.

As he was sent flying backward, his eyes were filled with shock and despair. He could not believe that he, as a supreme being standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, was powerless to fight back against Li Xuan's punch. His proud spiritual power and defensive techniques cultivated over many years were as fragile as paper in the face of this pure power.

Without pausing, Li Xuan turned and headed towards another supreme being wielding a seven-colored divine sword.

Upon seeing this, the supreme being was greatly alarmed. He hurriedly manipulated the hundred-foot-long giant sword, trying to stop Li Xuan from getting closer.

The giant sword, carrying sharp sword energy, slashed towards Li Xuan in a crisscross pattern. Each sword energy contained the power to tear space apart, but Li Xuan ignored it and continued to charge straight towards him.

Just as the giant sword was about to strike Li Xuan, he suddenly threw a punch, which collided directly with the dense sword energy.

A series of crackling sounds rang out, and the seemingly indestructible sword energy shattered and dissipated the moment it touched Li Xuan's fist, as if it had crashed into an insurmountable mountain.

Li Xuan's punch, undiminished in momentum, struck the hundred-foot-long giant sword directly.

In an instant, the divine sword, which radiated seven-colored light and was engraved with countless mysterious runes, let out a mournful cry, as if it were terrified of this extremely powerful force.

The runes that had been flowing on the sword began to flicker erratically, and then cracks spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the entire divine sword shattered into countless fragments in the astonished eyes of the crowd, drifting into the void.

The Supreme Being holding the sword stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. This was his Imperial Weapon, which had accompanied him in battle for many years and was his most powerful reliance. Even when facing experts of the same level, he had never been in such a sorry state. But now, it had been shattered by Li Xuan with a single punch, which greatly shocked his mind.

Before he could recover from the shock, Li Xuan was already in front of him, throwing another punch. This Supreme Being had no time to react before being struck in the abdomen. He instantly curled up, his spiritual energy running rampant and uncontrollably, leaving his meridians riddled with holes. Then, like the previous Supreme Being, he coughed up blood and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

The other supreme beings were terrified at the sight. They could never have imagined that Li Xuan's strength was so outrageous. He had defeated two of their companions with just his fists, and so easily at that. This was completely beyond their comprehension.

Xuanming Supreme's expression turned extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth. Although he was shocked by Li Xuan's strength, he had no choice but to take a desperate gamble at this moment.

He manipulated the towering black bone tower, increasing the infusion of spiritual power and chanting incantations faster. The black mist released by the bone tower grew thicker, and the shrill screams emanating from it became increasingly piercing, as if it were venting its endless ferocious power, sweeping towards Li Xuan and trying to completely devour him.

Li Xuan remained expressionless. Facing the overwhelming black mist, he threw another punch.

The punch was delivered with the faint sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling, as if it contained the most primal and powerful force in the world.

The moment the black mist came into contact with the punch, it seemed to have encountered its nemesis, frantically retreating in all directions. No matter how Xuanming Supreme commanded it, it could not let it get any closer to Li Xuan.

Then, Li Xuan flashed and rushed directly towards the black bone tower.

Upon seeing this, Xuanming Supreme was greatly alarmed. He immediately manipulated the bone tower to launch an attack. Suddenly, beams of black light shot out from the tower, each beam containing world-destroying power, hurtling towards Li Xuan. However, Li Xuan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead met the beams of light head-on with another punch.

This punch seemed to break some kind of boundary. The moment the black rays touched Li Xuan's fist, they all flew back in reverse and slammed into the black bone tower.

The bone tower trembled violently, and cracks appeared on its originally indestructible body. The mysterious bone tower, forged from the bones of two great emperors and usually awe-inspiring to all sides, showed signs of breaking under Li Xuan's punch.

Xuanming Supreme's eyes widened, filled with terror and despair. He never imagined that his trump card would be so easily defeated in front of Li Xuan.

Before he could make any other move, Li Xuan had already arrived in front of him, his icy gaze making Xuanming Supreme feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"You..." Xuanming Supreme was about to say something when Li Xuan's fist came crashing down without mercy.

This punch, carrying an irresistible force, struck Xuanming Supreme directly on the head. In an instant, Xuanming Supreme felt a roar in his mind, as if the whole world had collapsed. His years of hard-earned cultivation and the power of the Great Dao he had gathered all crumbled at this moment. He collapsed to the ground instantly, the life force in his eyes rapidly fading away. Even in death, he could not believe that he had been defeated so thoroughly, so utterly powerless.

The remaining supreme beings, including Emperor Yun, were paralyzed with fear. Their eyes widened as they watched Li Xuan, like a god of war, crush their companions one by one with his fists. The shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Li Xuan shook his hand and looked at Xuanming Supreme, "You're easier to beat than the Wolf Clan Supreme."

Xuanming Supreme Lord stared wide-eyed, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
