CHAPTER 1243: CHAPTER 1240: UPHEAVAL

————

Heavenly Domain.

Outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Endless chaotic gang winds were raging.

Yet amidst these chaotic gang winds, two figures stood tall.

These two, like the sun and moon, constantly emitted radiance.

One of them was sitting cross-legged within a snow lotus, with wisps of black aura swirling around, emanating a world-destroying power.

The surrounding chaotic gang winds seemed hesitant to approach even an inch closer.

This person was none other than Empress Changxi.

And opposite her stood a youth in white clothing, impossibly handsome, standing on a divine beast, the Ancient Green Bird.

The Ancient Green Bird’s divine wings flapped, causing the nearby chaotic gang winds to roll aside.

"Senior sister, what do you mean?"

The white-clothed youth frowned deeply, looking at the unparalleled Empress opposite, speaking slowly.

Earlier within the Heavenly Domain, neither of the Double Emperors wanted to lose face, so their words were utterly domineering.

But now outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, with endless chaotic gang winds raging and no outsiders present.

The Double Emperors, after all, were senior and junior siblings.

Now, they could speak openly.

"The Spider Emperor is dead, the Black Lotus has disappeared, I’m not sure what Junior Brother Mu Yun is pretending?" Empress Changxi spoke slowly, with sarcasm and an icy sharpness in her tone, "Do you really think I am unaware that you’ve left your Emperor Tian Tu in the Ancient Great World?"

The white-clothed youth frowned even deeper and spoke slowly, "It’s true that I hid matters concerning Tian Tu, but what does the death of the Spider Emperor and the disappearance of the Black Lotus have to do with me? Have you forgotten that our Master is already gaining momentum in the Lower Realm?"

Empress Changxi said indifferently, "You and I both know that last time, the ten thousand years of lifespan that vanished into thin air must have been due to a deal Master made with the Ten Halls Yama. Within such a short period, Master could not have possibly gone to kill the Spider Emperor."

The white-clothed youth’s eyes showed a hint of impatience, "Any impossible thing, if put on Master, becomes possible. Besides, you and I know the abilities of the Spider Emperor; his death is not surprising."

"As for the disappearance of the Black Lotus, instead of seeking the Revenge Lineage, you come to me, do you really think I, your junior brother, do not have a temper?"

Hearing this, Empress Changxi said blandly, "Do you think I am unaware of your plans with Tian Tu in the Lower Realm? As for the disappearance of the Black Lotus, while it’s true that the first suspects were the Revenge Lineage, why were you so slow to act during the last battle?"

The white-clothed youth, known as Emperor Mu, upon hearing these words, was even more impatient, "I have made it very clear. During the last battle, I was at a crucial moment in seclusion and could not come out. Besides, neither you nor I suffered any significant loss from that battle, did we?"

Empress Changxi laughed lightly, "No need for more words; you and I must have a battle sooner or later."

Emperor Mu narrowed his eyes mockingly, "Suddenly it makes sense why you were so easily swayed back then to betray our Master; you’re just a cheap bitch favored by the Heavenly Dao..."

"You have no right to lecture this Empress!" Empress Changxi coldly interrupted.

Before the words even fell, Empress Changxi’s attack had already arrived.

In an instant.

The Double Emperors’ battle erupted suddenly!

————

Daozhou, Floating Mountain.

"The Spider Emperor is dead."

Ji Ziqing, who had already ascended to the position of Saint Master of the Ji Family, set down the Jade Scroll and spoke softly.

The voice was not loud, yet it echoed throughout the entire hall.

The powerful figures of the Ji Family, attending the meeting, and the Elders of the Floating Mountain, were all shaken.

The Spider Emperor, dead?!

One of the twelve Emperor Generals under the Empress, representing Empress Changxi, guarding the Xuanhuang Great World and all the heavens and myriad worlds, the Emperor General Spider was truly dead?!

This news was so sudden that it was difficult for anyone to digest immediately.

"Saint Master, how did the Spider Emperor die?"

A strong figure of the Ji Family couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing this, Ji Ziqing’s lips beneath her veil couldn’t help but curl into a smile as she slowly said, "Ye Xuan."

"Him!?"

At this statement, the entire upper echelon of the Floating Mountain within the hall was profoundly shaken.

Previously, the news of Ye Xuan leaving his name at the Enlightenment Tower had spread throughout the Floating Mountain.

Later, they also learned that Ye Xuan was the young divine who had assisted the Floating Mountain in defeating the Evil God Sect.

It was unexpected that this person was the one who had killed the Emperor General Spider!?

"What kind of divine being is he?"

At this moment, everyone began to speculate.

Even the former Ji Family Saint Master Ji Wenchang looked shocked.

Past events emerged in his mind.

Previously, even the ancestor Ji Lengyue was exceedingly respectful towards this person.

Initially, everyone believed they had already overestimated Ye Xuan, but it turned out they had underestimated this young man named Ye Xuan.

Despite the current Heavenly Dao Suppression, what exactly is an Emperor General?

At the very least, they are Quasi-Emperor level figures.

Throughout the myriad worlds, such beings are scarce.

Even under Heavenly Dao Suppression, which limits capabilities to the Great Venerable realm, it is enough to stand above the world.

Moreover, they must possess various means.

Let alone killing them, even defeating such beings was thought to be a fantasy.

Yet now came news that the Emperor General Spider had indeed been killed!

This was truly mind-boggling.

"Is the news credible?" Ji Wenchang couldn’t help but ask.

Ji Ziqing glanced at her father and said softly, "The entire Xuanhuang Great World will not take long to know this news."

"In due time, other great worlds will also come to know."

Initially skeptical figures like Supreme Yama Yang Lin, Qi Chengzi, the Great Elder and others remained silent upon hearing this.

Supreme Yama Yang Lin, during the battle of the Evil Dragon’s resurgence, was influenced by it and fell into darkness, but was later rescued by the powerful individuals from the Floating Mountain after the battle ended.

Meanwhile, Qi Chengzi, in his attempt to stop Ye Xuan, was directly thrown into an unknown void by Yun Daoli, yet being a Supreme Peak expert, he quickly found a void node and returned to the Floating Mountain.

Initially, both Qi Chengzi and Supreme Yama Yang Lin believed Ye Xuan to be against the rules of the Floating Mountain, mistakenly seeing him as an enemy.

However, after they learned that it was Ye Xuan who helped the Floating Mountain defeat the Evil God Sect, even sealing the Evil Dragon.

Upon discovering this, Qi Chengzi could only close his mouth in frustration.

Now knowing that Ye Xuan wasn’t a foe, but actually an ally.

Should trouble arise for Ye Xuan now, they would even be willing to lend a helping hand.

Upon hearing that Ye Xuan had killed the Emperor General Spider, they were both shocked and concerned.

Shocked because Ye Xuan could kill an Emperor General.

Concerned because, after killing an Emperor General, it would inevitably lead to retribution from the Double Emperors.

And those are the Double Emperors at the pinnacle of power, commanding countless forces.

The Xuanhuang Great World is naturally no exception.

Not to mention.

Previously, the Double Emperor Mountain was of great standing in the entire Daozhou Continent.

Of course, the circumstances have naturally changed now.

Yet, one must remember that the Xuanhuang Great World is not just one Daozhou.

In the Xuanhuang Great World, there is also the Nine States Continent.

In the condition of Heavenly Dao Suppression, no matter how strong one may be, they cannot reach too great a height.

Just like the Emperor General Spider’s fall, it seems to tell all the heavens and myriads of worlds that under Heavenly Dao Suppression, even an Emperor General of his level can be killed.

How could other top-level experts not be concerned?

In the current Heavenly Dao Suppression, the power of an individual, no matter how strong, would not reach significant heights.

Yet still, the downfall of the Spider Emperor sends a signal to all heavens and the myriad worlds.

The strength of the Heavenly Dao Suppression means that even Emperor Generals of his level can be killed when suppressed.
