Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2228: Chapter 2272: Tongyuan Realm Master

As if sensing something, her expression changed. She took out a large purple banner and waved it forcefully.

The entire black battleship came to an abrupt halt, as if receiving a command.

Consequently, a violent tremor shook its interior.

The Sages who were resting or patrolling materialized from ethereal forms into solid reality, appearing around the Mysterious Great Sage one after another.

”My Lady, what happened?” a Two Calamities Realm expert asked.

The Mysterious Great Sage stared into the depths of the Void, her gaze growing increasingly solemn. ”Prepare for battle!”

The Sages moved like an extension of her own body, executing the command without the slightest hesitation.

They all turned ethereal and departed.

Soon, the giant cannons of the Thousand Door Top-grade Spiritual Artifact on the battleship were fully charged with energy, ready to strike.

From the hundred pitch-black holes on both sides of the hull, dark red dragon heads thrust out.

The battleship slowly turned, stopping sideways in the Void.

A thousand giant cannons and a hundred Dragon Head Divine Soldiers took aim at the depths of the Void.

Not long after.

The Void began to tremble, undulating with surging waves like the Vast Sea.

The black battleship bobbed up and down in the waves of the Void.

Everyone acted as if facing a formidable enemy; whatever could stir up such monstrous waves had to be an absolute behemoth!

Soon, a pitch-black World Destruction Battleship that spanned the horizon with no end in sight slowly sailed over like a prehistoric leviathan.

The Two Calamities Realm Sage furrowed his brows. ”The Myriad Phenomena Great Sage’s Third Fleet?

”What, did she go back on her word and decide to double-cross us?”

However, the Mysterious Great Sage reacted as if facing a mortal threat. She summoned three Merit Divine Steles, clearly adopting a stance to go all out.

”Careful, something is wrong with the Third Fleet!”

The crowd held their breath, fixing their gazes on the battleship as it gradually entered their line of sight.

Soon, they were astonished to discover that the Third Fleet was completely drenched in blood!

In some areas, Spirit Rain was even falling!

This meant that Sages were actively perishing!

The number of pirates stationed on the Third Fleet could only be described as astronomical.

Moreover, with the Myriad Phenomena Great Sage personally holding down the fort, there were no less than a dozen Sages present.

The battleship itself possessed world-destroying power, capable of obliterating even a Three Calamities Realm expert who dared to offend it.

And yet, it had been subjected to a bloodbath.

Just what kind of entity had they encountered?

At this moment, the figure of a woman in black with a face as pale as paper stumbled and fell beside the Mysterious Great Sage, materializing from the ethereal.

She had an ordinary appearance, and there was a Life Space Pocket by her side.

If this wasn’t the Myriad Phenomena Great Sage, who else could it be?

Her face was covered in agony, a pain so intense that even the immense willpower of a Three Calamities Realm expert could hardly endure it.

It was evident just how severe the trauma inflicted on her soul level was.

”Run...” the Myriad Phenomena Great Sage spat out with difficulty. ”There’s... a Saint Realm...”

What? The Mysterious Great Sage’s pupils contracted violently, a shudder originating from her very soul.

”Saint Realm?”

Why would a Saint Realm expert intervene?

But she quickly understood, glaring viciously at the Myriad Phenomena Great Sage. ”You intentionally drove the World Destruction Battleship toward me to divert the disaster?”

The Void was so vast, and the two parties were separated by a distance of a day and a half.

If the Myriad Phenomena Great Sage hadn’t accurately locked onto their coordinates, how could there possibly be such a coincidental encounter?

The Myriad Phenomena Great Sage said in agony, ”Stop talking and just run...”

In truth, the moment the Mysterious Great Sage learned there was a Saint Realm expert, she had already activated the purple banner, commanding the black battleship to set sail and rapidly flee toward Nanqian.

However, the Mysterious Great Sage didn’t have the slightest confidence in escaping.

If even the World Destruction Battleship couldn’t hold off this mighty enemy, what made her think she could?

”Why did you provoke a Saint Realm expert?” the Mysterious Great Sage asked, gnashing her silver teeth.

The Myriad Phenomena Great Sage replied, ”It’s... that Princess Asura woman...

”Her man... came looking for her...”

Hmm? The Mysterious Great Sage was extremely surprised.

It was actually over a woman?

Her gaze settled as she asked, ”What is that woman’s background?”

The Myriad Phenomena Great Sage opened her mouth, just about to say something, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of what was behind the Mysterious Great Sage. She scrambled backward on the ground in sheer terror.

The Mysterious Great Sage’s entire body stiffened. A freezing sensation swept over her, and her heartbeat came to a dead stop.

There was someone behind her, and she hadn’t noticed at all.

Just... what kind of existence was this?

”My Concubine is in your hands?”

The gentle, lingering voice of a youth drifted over.

The Mysterious Great Sage turned her head and couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

A white-clothed youth was standing behind her with his hands resting behind his back, emitting absolutely no aura.

His eyes were placid and unrippled, yet he gave off an irresistible, vast, and heaven-like majesty.

The Mysterious Great Sage’s delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

This kind of pressure that induced fear from the very depths of her heart could only belong to one type of person!

A Saint Realm expert!

To be precise, the person before her was a Saint’s Remnant Soul!

It was just that his Remnant Soul was so excessively powerful that it looked like a materialized, physical human being.

The Mysterious Great Sage’s voice trembled as she cupped her hands. ”This junior, Du Xiyuan of Nanqian, pays respects to Senior.”

The white-clothed youth reached out his hand, as unruffled as an ancient well. ”I don’t like repeating myself.

”Hand her over.”

He was demanding Yuwei!

Du Xiyuan’s heart turned cold.

Yuwei had already been given to Jiang Fan!

After a day and a half, that was more than enough time for Jiang Fan to do the deed with Yuwei, right?

If she refused to disclose Yuwei’s whereabouts, the Saint’s Remnant Soul before her would definitely kill her.

If she did disclose Yuwei’s whereabouts and he discovered Yuwei had been defiled, he would kill her even faster.

No matter what, she couldn’t escape death!

In the brief moment she took to think, the white-clothed youth had already raised a finger.

”Then die.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, an oppressive sensation containing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth crashed down.

It felt like Mount Tai pressing down onto the fleshy body of a mortal.

A feeling of powerlessness and losing all will to resist welled up in her heart.

Even if the other party was a Saint’s Remnant Soul, he still possessed a power that Ling Jia Sages!

The Mysterious Great Sage, Du Xiyuan, finally understood why the Daqian Divine Kingdom’s World Destruction Battleship had lost.

Against an expert on the level of the soul, the World Destruction Battleship’s effectiveness was virtually nonexistent!

A bitter smile curled the corners of her mouth.

She had really been thoroughly screwed over by the Myriad Phenomena Great Sage!

But right at this critical moment, a resounding shout echoed through the universe.

”Stop!”

While the voice was still drifting in the air, a figure who had left and returned stood in front of Du Xiyuan.

Holding the Soul Suppressing Tower in his left hand, he tightly gripped and shook the Hell Soul Bell with his right, activating the soul defense of its black side.

The Soul Attack intended to annihilate Du Xiyuan’s soul was swallowed whole by a giant mouth.

”You... why did you come back?” Having narrowly escaped disaster, Du Xiyuan first felt relieved.

Then, panicking immensely, she pulled Jiang Fan behind her and harshly reprimanded him.

With a powerful Saint’s Remnant Soul right in front of them, wasn’t Jiang Fan just seeking his own doom by coming back?

Looking at the back of the figure protecting him, Jiang Fan smiled bitterly.

”Only a ghost would want to come back.

”But who told me to owe you a favor!”

He had already figured it out.

If Du Xiyuan had truly wanted to kill him, she wouldn’t have let him leave so easily using the Void Feather Robe.

Du Xiyuan was just scaring him, intentionally forcing him to leave.

He also realized that the hint of pink he vaguely sensed in his final moments at the Soul Refining Hall was highly likely Du Xiyuan rushing in to act as a protector for him while he was unconscious.

Otherwise, having been unconscious for a full half-day, how could those mutated souls have just left his soul alone without devouring it?

The white-clothed youth cast his gaze over, his placid eyes slowly narrowing.

”Jiang Fan of Central Earth?”

Jiang Fan took a deep breath. Pulling Du Xiyuan behind him, he faced the white-clothed youth alone and said,

”Long time no see, Tongyuan Realm Master of the Hell Realm!”
