422: Chapter 422 The Terror of the Nine Realms

"Yes, only by combining forces with the other three Divine Envoys did I barely manage to defeat Dongfang Hao."

"But for some reason, he broke through to the Star Lord Realm without warning, instantly killing two other Divine Envoys and severely wounding me and the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy."

"He spared our lives but heavily damaged our Divine Souls, causing us to fall from the Ninth Realm. Our Divine Souls and Physical Bodies no longer aligned, making it impossible to enter the Ninth Realm again."

Xiao Weiqing roughly understood why Dongfang Hao had done this: he couldn't allow Divine Envoys to enter the Ninth Realm and do as they pleased. Sparing two Divine Envoys' lives likely had to do with the Spiritual Qi recovery and the Supernatural Awakening.

Zang Yu continued, "It wasn't until a few days later that news of Dongfang Hao's disappearance spread. The outside world thought he had perished due to heavy injuries."

"In truth, that's when I realized he must have used methods not from the Incubation Ground to forcibly break through to the Star Lord Realm, resulting in his expulsion from the Incubation Ground."

Hearing this, Xiao Weiqing felt a sudden realization. "I see. That explains everything."

Looking at Zang Yu and the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy, Xiao Weiqing asked tentatively:

"Then what is your current situation?"

Zang Yu extended his hands and clenched his fists, smiling:

"I told you, Dongfang Hao damaged my Divine Soul, leaving me with a divine body but no way to enter the Ninth Realm."

"In the end, out of necessity, I could only reincarnate to recultivate my Divine Soul."

"Recultivate your Divine Soul?"

The group was astonished.

Zang Yu explained, "This requires splitting the Divine Soul and detaching from the original Physical Body. It is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, after several decades, I finally found a decent vessel. Everything went smoothly without any mishaps."

Hearing this.

Xiao Weiqing sensed something was wrong. ten thousand calamities appeared in his hand, and he swung a slash.

At the same time.

Zang Yu suddenly attacked, powerful energy erupting from within his body.

Boom~~

In just an instant, the four of them were blown back.

Xiao Weiqing was knocked back hundreds of meters before he could steady himself.

"Fire Owl!!"

Pushing out a palm, the Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame transformed into a pillar of fire, shooting out violently.

The terrifying pillar of flame slammed into Zang Yu instantly.

Expressionless, Zang Yu extended a palm, and a circular shield appeared out of thin air to block the flames.

"Hmm?"

"Divine Fire?"

"Interesting."

Zang Yu seemed to take an interest. He clenched his palm tightly, and the pillar of flame exploded violently.

"Divine Fire is good, but it depends on whose hands it's in." Zang Yu's tone carried a hint of mockery.

Then.

Under the group's gaze.

Zang Yu fell from the sky as if he had fallen asleep, leaving behind a figure in a Divine Soul state in his original place.

The appearance was identical to the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy.

"Stop him!"

Xiao Weiqing let out a ferocious roar.

"Wanxiang!"

He swung ten thousand calamities again, the blade light illuminating the World within a World.

The terrifying blade aura spanned across the World within a World, slashing toward the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy.

It sounded like a crack of heavenly thunder.

The entire World within a World vibrated, and even Lingshen Peak behind it trembled.

The destructive fire impact formed a ring of flame that spread outward, causing all the Crystal Long Bridges to snap inch by inch.

"Did we get him?"

Xie Zhiyuan swallowed hard and murmured, his eyes fixed on the center of the explosion.

The flames gradually dissipated.

Suddenly.

An incomparable burst of violent energy erupted from within the flames.

In the sky.

Only one figure remained: the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy.

At this moment.

His eyes were closed, and the original Divine Soul had already disappeared.

Just as Xiao Weiqing was confused.

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy opened his eyes and said slowly:

"I have finally entered the Ninth Realm again. The long-lost power has returned."

Xie Zhiyuan's pupils shrank, and he instinctively used his Mental Energy to investigate.

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy turned his head indifferently toward Xie Zhiyuan, his face full of disdain.

He gave a light shout.

"Absorb!"

A materialized Mental Energy impact exploded in Xie Zhiyuan's mind.

"Hmph!"

Xie Zhiyuan briefly lost consciousness and fell from mid-air.

"What?"

Dongfang Baichen was shocked. He quickly formed several hand seals and shouted, "Heaven-Piercing Finger!"

Above the sky of the World within a World.

Two massive bronze fingers appeared, surrounded by lightning and carrying a majestic heavenly aura as they descended from the sky, pointing directly at the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy.

"Insignificant tricks."

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy threw a punch, sending ripples through space, and the bronze fingers were shattered inch by inch.

Dongfang Baichen's pupils shrank, and he quickly pushed out a palm.

"Giant Spirit Great Mudra!"

Facing Dongfang Baichen's move again, the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy remained expressionless and threw another punch. The terrifying sonic boom caused the group to briefly lose their hearing.

"Rumble~~"

The massive airwave sent Dongfang Baichen flying. In contrast, the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy stood motionless, showing the clear gap between them.

"What!"

Dongfang Baichen couldn't believe the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy had neutralized his ultimate move so easily.

"Go!"

While flying backward, a streak of silver light flew out from Dongfang Baichen's sleeve. The silver light seemed to cross space, appearing instantly in front of the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy.

Clang!

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's eyes narrowed, and he caught it between two fingers.

A Fish Shuttle trembled incessantly between his fingers.

"His weapon?"

Seeing this familiar Fish Shuttle, the killing intent in the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's eyes intensified.

"You are far inferior to Dongfang Hao!"

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy flicked his finger, and the Fish Shuttle flew back at an even faster speed, aimed straight at Dongfang Baichen.

Dongfang Baichen instinctively dodged, but his arm was still pierced through, leaving it dripping with blood.

On the other side.

Xiao Weiqing caught the unconscious Xie Zhiyuan and moved to Dongfang Baichen's side. "Senior Dongfang, take the Old Headmaster out first."

"We leave together."

"Senior, you go first. I have my own ways."

Seeing that Xiao Weiqing wasn't just being stubborn, he had to nod. His staying would be useless anyway; the gap between the Eighth and Ninth Realms was too vast, they were simply not on the same level of power.

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy did not stop them. Now that he had re-entered the Ninth Realm and restored his Peak strength, the entire Blue Star would be under his control.

"Xiao Weiqing, what do we do?"

"He looks difficult to deal with." Palace Mistress Palace Master Yun Shu flashed to Xiao Weiqing's side, looking at the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy with a heavy expression.

Things had become troublesome.

With such terrifying strength, they likely wouldn't be his match even if they joined forces.

Xiao Weiqing showed no fear, only sending a voice transmission: "Palace Mistress, you should leave too. I will deal with him."

Palace Mistress Palace Master Yun Shu didn't move. "Do I look like the kind of person who deserts in the face of battle?"

"That's not what I meant."

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back. I can see that although the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's Divine Soul is powerful, it seems unstable. Perhaps I can help."

This was indeed the case. Although the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's Divine Soul had recovered, it had been split after all, with only a sliver of consciousness left in the original body.

Now that it was restored, it was impossible to instantly take full control of the divine body.

If the Divine Soul and divine body could align at will, the Ninth Realm wouldn't be so difficult to break through.

Xiao Weiqing agreed, remembering that Palace Mistress Palace Master Yun Shu's Divine Fire countered Divine Souls.

"Alright, then support me from the side."

"Boom~"

Xiao Weiqing instantly entered his Flame True Body state. His form changed, his original height of 1.85 meters surging to 2.5 meters.

This was his full-power form.

ten thousand calamities materialized in his hand, its blade igniting with flames that scorched the space until it distorted.

"Kill!"
