My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

Li Chen was practically going crazy.

At this rate of absorption, everyone present would be sucked dry in less than half an incense stick's time.

Even the arrogant Blood Fiend Sect Master was sweating profusely as he steadied himself in mid-air, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

Just when despair was spreading and everyone thought they were doomed.

The change occurred silently.

"Thump."

Li Chen's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It was a very strange and mysterious feeling.

It wasn't out of fear, nor because of the loss of vital energy. Rather, it was a powerful resonance originating from the deepest part of one's bloodline and the most fundamental source of one's soul!

It's like suddenly seeing a guiding light that belongs only to you in the vast darkness.

"What happened?"

Li Chen was stunned.

He looked up at the enormous, swirling black hole in the sky.

Deep within the black hole, which had originally shimmered with a ghostly blue starlight, could be seen.

Suddenly, a faint yet dazzling pure golden light appeared!

That golden light carried a vast, majestic, and terrifying imperial aura that swept across the eight wastelands and six directions!

at the same time.

Beyond the endless starry sky.

Taiji Palace, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

King Li Tai of Wei stood in the center of the "Bloodline Guiding Array," which was protected by a million-strong army and built using countless rare materials from the national treasury.

He stared at the illusory golden dragon that was moving wildly on the array plate, his whole body trembling with excitement.

"Locked! Locked!"

Li Tai shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Father's true dragon blood essence has taken effect! The great formation has anchored the sixteenth brother's bloodline aura!"

"His location happens to be near an activated spatial node!"

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty stood at the edge of the formation.

Upon hearing this, two terrifying glints of light instantly flashed in those majestic eyes.

He suddenly drew the Emperor's Sword from his waist and pointed it straight at the sky.

"Quickly! Forcibly change his coordinates for me!"

"Make sure that passage's endpoint is firmly fixed in Chang'an!"

"BOOM—!!!"

With Li Shimin's command.

The immense national fortune accumulated over a thousand years of the Tang Dynasty transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon, roaring as it surged into the void!

And above the Blood Fiend Sect.

That void black hole that originally led to an unknown world of slaughter.

Under the forceful intervention of this extremely domineering imperial destiny, the coordinates underwent a violent and earth-shattering collision!

"Click, click..."

The black hole in the sky began to twist and deform violently.

The original dark blue light was gradually swallowed up and covered by that powerful golden light!

"What...what kind of power is this?!"

The Blood Fiend Sect Master, struggling to stay afloat in mid-air, watched the black hole in the sky gradually turn golden, feeling the imperial pressure that made his soul tremble.

The arrogance on his face vanished completely, replaced by endless shock and fear.

Even his reclusive ancestor could never possess such a vast and majestic aura!

This power doesn't belong to cultivators at all!

This is the pure, all-encompassing, supreme imperial aura!

Just as tens of thousands of cultivators were all suppressed by this heavenly might and unable to lift their heads.

From the depths of the black hole, a powerful aura emanated.

Accompanied by a majestic and resonant male voice that echoed throughout the entire small world!

"The traitor!"

The voice carried the emperor's anger and the father's anxiety.

It exploded with a thunderous sonic boom!

"Have you had enough fun outside?!"

"Get back here right now!"

The sound came out.

The entire room fell silent.

All the demonic cultivators and righteous cultivators who were slumped on the ground looked completely bewildered.

Rebellious son?

Is this supreme being, who is speaking across the void, disciplining his own son?

Li Chen, standing on the edge of the sinkhole, was still desperately protecting Ning Xiu and Xing'er.

The instant I heard those two words.

He was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and froze on the spot.

His eyes widened instantly.

His eyes reddened at a visible speed.

familiar!

It's so damn familiar!

That was a powerful, forceful curse, delivered with an air of domineering arrogance.

Aside from Comrade Li, who lives far away in the Taiji Palace in Chang'an and is always ready to pull out the Seven Wolves to beat him.

Who else could it be?!

"Holy crap! How come Old Deng has such a powerful aura of cultivation after all this time?"

Li Chen was stunned for half a second, and then tears almost welled up in his eyes.

To hell with the number one brute of the Tang Dynasty!

Screw lone hero!

I finally have a powerful backer! My own father has come looking for me!

Without hesitation, Li Chen discarded all his idol image and went straight to the golden, radiant black hole in the sky, letting out the most pathetic yet arrogant cry for help of his life.

"Old Deng!!!"

Li Chen cupped his hands around his mouth, his voice piercing the clouds and even drowning out the howling of the void storm.

"Old Deng! Help!"

"Your dearest, most handsome, and kindest son is being bullied outside!"

Li Chen pointed at the bewildered Blood Fiend Sect Master in the sky and frantically complained, tears streaming down his face.

"They're shameless! Three Golden Core cultivators and one Nascent Soul cultivator, all ganging up on me!"

"Your son is going to be beaten to death!"

"Old Deng, come quick, I'm in trouble!!!"

Li Chen's earth-shattering, heart-wrenching cries for help echoed across the empty square.

Ning Xiu was stunned.

The Qingyun Sect Master was dumbfounded.

All the cultivators present, including the Blood Fiend Sect Master in the sky, were dumbfounded.

That ferocious young man who just punched a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator and called himself the number one brute in the Tang Dynasty, was as fierce as a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

At this moment, he was acting like a wronged three-year-old child.

Pointing at the sky and crying for their parents?!

The contrast is just too great!

however.

Before anyone could recover from this absurd scene...

The other side of the black hole.

After hearing her beloved son's pitiful cries for help.

That Tang emperor completely lost his temper.

"court death!!!"

Accompanied by a dragon's roar that shattered the heavens.

Deep within the enormous golden vortex in the sky.

Suddenly, a pair of enormous golden dragon claws, formed from pure imperial fortune, emerged!

Those dragon claws gripped the edge of the void black hole tightly.

then.

Under the horrified and utterly terrified gazes of tens of thousands of people in the audience.

The dragon claws suddenly exerted force.

"Sizzle—!!!"

It was like tearing a rag.

That cross-border channel was already unstable.

It was actually forcefully and powerfully defeated by those golden dragon claws.

It tore apart with a deafening roar!

Endless golden divine light poured down like a vast ocean.

In that dazzling golden light.

A majestic figure dressed in a bright yellow nine-dragon robe and holding an emperor's sword.

Filled with fierce protective anger and imposing pressure as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

He stepped out of the void.

Like a god descending to earth, they came down upon this demonic holy land filled with demonic energy!
