Chapter 479: Poison Dragon Patriarch Takes Action

The most comprehensive cloud library.

In the Demon Realm, high above, stood the Ice Palace. Three Emperors were discussing their cultivation.

“Brother Peng,” Emperor Xinghe inquired, “are you suggesting I should focus more on the Void Lineage?”

“Precisely,” Emperor Peng nodded. “What does it mean to achieve perfection in the Heaven and Earth Realm? It means the flawless integration of numerous profound mysteries. If all your focus is on the Void Lineage, combining them becomes relatively straightforward. But if you divide your attention between the Time Lineage and the Space Lineage, intending to merge time and space, the difficulty skyrockets. Your primary issue, Xinghe, is excessive distraction. Why delve into the Karma Lineage and formations simultaneously? Can you truly perfect the integration of so many different aspects?”

Emperor Xinghe appeared to be deep in thought.

“This is merely my suggestion,” Emperor Peng said with a smile. “The ultimate decision rests with you.”

“And what about me, Emperor Peng?” Empress Xuanyue pressed. “I’ve always concentrated solely on the Void Lineage. How should I adjust my approach?”

“Your situation is a bit more intricate. I believe you should first attempt to establish a large Grotto-heaven, and this Grotto-heaven…” Emperor Peng abruptly paused, his gaze fixed on a distant direction.

“Hmm?”

Emperor Xinghe and Empress Xuanyue also turned their gazes towards the same direction.

Although the expansion of the world entrance itself was subtle, making it imperceptible to even Creation Venerables at a distance, those who reached the Heaven and Earth Realm possessed an exceptionally keen perception of the entire world. Thus, all three Emperors immediately detected the expansion of the world entrance at Fengxue Pass.

“The sixth super-large entrance,” Emperor Xinghe’s eyes gleamed.

“The Human World only has nine Creation Venerables in total,” Empress Xuanyue remarked, a hint of excitement in her voice.

“Come, let’s go check it out.”

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Peng conjured Ancestor Poison Dragon, who had been cultivating within the Ice Palace, directly before them.

“Emperors,” Ancestor Poison Dragon uttered, somewhat disoriented.

“Let’s move.”

A golden light enveloped the figures, who instantly departed the Ice Palace.

The speed of this golden light was truly astonishing.

Before reaching the Heaven and Earth Realm, all beings are heavily constrained by the laws of heaven and earth. Even Creation Venerables can typically only cover a dozen *li* in a single flash. However, upon reaching the Heaven and Earth Realm, one’s cultivation is potent enough to defy the laws of heaven and earth, no longer suffering suppression. This allows them to unleash their true, unbridled speed! Consequently, Emperors can typically traverse several thousand *li* in a single flash. Emperor Peng, renowned for his speed across numerous neighboring worlds, can reach a staggering thirty thousand *li* per flash when traveling alone, having achieved perfection in the Heaven and Earth Realm.

Even while carrying Empress Xuanyue, Emperor Xinghe, and Ancestor Poison Dragon, he still maintained a speed of twenty thousand *li* per flash.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.” Emperor Xinghe further manipulated the surrounding flow of time. As three Emperors were present in this area, altering time flow was incredibly challenging. Nevertheless, Emperor Xinghe managed to accelerate it to eight times the normal rate. Therefore, from an external perspective, the golden light containing Emperor Peng and his companions appeared to move at a speed exceeding one hundred thousand *li* per flash.

Although the Demon Realm was significantly larger than the Human World, the distance from the Ice Palace to the entrance at Fengxue Pass was only a little over one hundred thirty thousand *li*.

Thus, they arrived at the entrance point in an instant.

“We’re here.”

Emperor Peng, Empress Xuanyue, and Emperor Xinghe all gazed at the world entrance before them, which stretched over twenty *li* long. Beside them, Ancestor Poison Dragon was utterly dumbfounded, muttering, “We were just in the sky palace, and now we’re at Lanbai Mountain in the blink of an eye?”

Such speed was truly terrifying! No wonder the Demon Sages were so obedient, never daring to defy the three Emperors.

Just then—

*Boom.*

Four figures, Fifth Heaven Demon Kings, were sent hurtling back from the entrance, looking dishevelled and even somewhat terrified.

“After Liu Qiyue’s Phoenix Nirvana, she became incredibly powerful. Even after I underwent life modification, I couldn’t withstand her,” the lean Fire Fox Demon King exclaimed, clearly panicked.

“She’s too strong; a moment’s delay in escaping would have meant certain death by burning.”

“Her power, I fear, might rival that of Saint Lord Qiansi and Monarch Peacock.”

The four returning Demon Kings were all filled with dread.

Earlier, all five of them had charged forward, launching a coordinated attack without hesitation. But who would have thought that after Liu Qiyue’s Phoenix Nirvana, a single encounter would cause them to crumble? The Fire Fox Demon King, whose life modification allowed him to withstand ten or even eight moves from a ‘peak Creation Realm’ expert, was so terrified by the horrifying flames that he immediately fled, abandoning his companions.

“We were right at the entrance; the moment we decided to flee, we did so instantly. Yet, one of us still perished.”

“She’s far too powerful.”

The four quickly fled out of the world entrance and, upon returning to the Demon Realm, discovered the three Emperors and Ancestor Poison Dragon.

“Go, destroy Fengxue Pass,” Emperor Peng had already commanded.

“Yes, sirs.”

As the four Demon Kings retreated, Ancestor Poison Dragon had already charged into the entrance.

It was truly fearless.

Even if Qin Wu and Li Guan from the Human World intervened, they couldn’t directly slay it; they would first need to find a way to trap it before attempting to subdue it.

“With the world entrance behind me, not even Qin Wu or Li Guan could hope to trap me,” Ancestor Poison Dragon declared, brimming with confidence.

“Emperors.”

The four retreating Demon Kings then offered their respectful bows.

Emperor Xinghe waved his hand, and the four Demon Kings awkwardly scurried to the side.

The three Emperors observed Fengxue Pass through the massive, twenty-plus-*li*-long world entrance.

At Fengxue Pass.

Liu Qiyue stood suspended in the air, dazzling flames erupting skyward. With a single full-force attack, she instantly slew one Fifth Heaven Demon King, causing the other four to flee immediately.

“Hmm?” Before she could even begin to relax, Liu Qiyue noticed a figure instantly charging towards the world entrance—a black-robed old man with a dragon’s head.

“Is that…him?” Liu Qiyue’s heart jolted. Ancestor Poison Dragon?

The black-robed, dragon-headed elder grinned at Liu Qiyue.

His body instantly transformed into a vast, boundless expanse of black water. This surging black water rapidly filled the world entrance, extending into the air, and instantly spread across a hundred-*li* radius.

The black water spread with terrifying speed, threatening to engulf all of Fengxue Pass from every direction. Simultaneously, a potent venom silently permeated the air.

“This is bad.”

Liu Qiyue realized that if she didn’t intervene, the entire population of over ten million people in Fengxue Pass would perish within half a breath. After receiving cultivation from the three Emperors, Ancestor Poison Dragon’s venom was powerful enough to kill even weaker Demon Sages, let alone mere mortals.

*Boom—*

Liu Qiyue unleashed her full power in an instant, erupting with flames.

The flames surged outward in all directions, their spread matching the black water’s speed.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss.” The Phoenix flames and black water collided, producing sizzling sounds. The black water continuously vaporized into black gas, only to rapidly re-condense into black liquid, seemingly without losing any of its power. Despite this, the Phoenix flames still held the advantage in their direct confrontation.

The Phoenix flames shielded the inner city fortifications and swiftly enveloped the entirety of Fengxue Pass. Even underground, a layer of Phoenix flames materialized, blocking the encroaching black water. Fengxue Pass, a colossal city spanning one hundred fifty *li* on each side and home to over ten million people, was now fully protected.

Unleashing such a vast quantity of Phoenix flames at full power was incredibly taxing for Liu Qiyue.

Yet, she also knew…

Ancestor Poison Dragon’s black water could spread for hundreds of *li*. She had to ensure its complete containment, otherwise, the black water could infiltrate Fengxue Pass through any crevice and extinguish all life within.
