Chapter 980 - 980 The Great Opportunity
The Evil Eye Beam,immensely powerful.
Princess Longji and her two companions hurriedly dodged,revealing their figures.
"It's you all……"
Tiancanz,with a head full of purple hair and an aura of supreme power emanating from him,saw Princess Longji and the others,and his expression relaxed slightly.
If reinforcements from the Other Realm had arrived,that would truly be a bit troublesome.
After all,his current enemies were already quite difficult to deal with.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the ten Heavenly King-level prodigies of the Other Realm were utterly crushed before Jun Xiaoyao like chickens and dogs.
That was only relative.
To the prodigies of the Immortal Realm,they were absolutely formidable opponents.
Especially Li Jiuming,even though his cultivation was only at the quasi-supreme level.
There was a gap between that and Tiancanz's supreme cultivation.
But Li Jiuming himself possessed the atavistic Evil Eye of the Mingzhao Imperial Clan,bolstered by the quasi-emperor weapon,the Eye of Despair.
For a time,Tiancanz and Li Jiuming were actually evenly matched,fifty-fifty.
Not to mention that Other Realm beings were innately several times stronger than Immortal Realm beings at the same level.
That was why Li Jiuming,at the quasi-supreme realm,could use the Eye of Despair to contend with Tiancanz,the seed-level prodigy of the Divine Silkworm Valley.
As for Puyao,Jin Zhan,Guchi,the Twin-Headed Divine Clan prodigy,and the others,they were locked in fierce battle with Ji Qingyi,the Sun Sacred Guard,and the Moon Sacred Guard.
The Prince of the Other Shore,who ranked first among the ten Heavenly Kings,was not present.
Upon seeing Princess Longji,Yu Chanjuan,and Yan Rumeng appear.
The Sun Sacred Guard and Moon Sacred Guard exchanged a glance,the light in their eyes flickering faintly beneath their masks.
A certain thought had formed in their minds.
As for Ji Qingyi,the expression on her face beneath the veil was utterly calm.
No one could guess what she was truly thinking — she was the very picture of inscrutable sophistication.
"You three,with a great enemy before us,let's deal with these Other Realm beings first." Ji Qingyi parted her lips and said.
Toward Ji Qingyi,Princess Longji and her two companions held no particular ill feelings.
It was just that Yu Chanjuan seemed a bit displeased when she looked at the Sun Sacred Guard and Moon Sacred Guard.
But with a great enemy at hand,it was indeed time to set aside past grievances for now.
Princess Longji and her two companions joined the battle.
"Not even at the quasi-supreme level — nothing but cannon fodder."
"So this is what a seed-level figure from the Immortal Realm amounts to."
Li Jiuming's gaze carried a mocking look as he stared at Tiancanz.
The confidence he had lost before Jun Xiaoyao,he was reclaiming here against Tiancanz.
"I'm merely warming up."
Tiancanz's gaze was cold and indifferent.
He was,after all,a seed-level figure who had slumbered in the Divine Silkworm Valley,once one of the Nine-Transformation Divine Silkworms.
Just one step away from possessing the invincible form of the Ten Transformations.
Tiancanz had always been searching for a method to achieve the Ten Transformations.
Some time ago,he had sensed that the Celestial Burial Forest seemed to hold a great opportunity,and so he had come.
Then he encountered Ji Qingyi and the others.
And after that,he ran into Li Jiuming and his group,who had also entered the Celestial Burial Forest to hunt Immortal Realm cultivators.
The two sides clashed in battle once again.
Waves of magical power of every kind swept outward,toppling vast stretches of ancient woodland.
The place where they fought had already reached the depths of the Celestial Burial Forest.
The earth was split open by crack after crack.
And at that moment,from the depths of the Celestial Burial Forest,where the cracks had split open,a corner of an ancient city suddenly emerged.
Spiritual energy swirled and coiled,immortal radiance soaring into the sky.
A magnificent ancient city revealed itself from deep beneath the earth of the Celestial Burial Forest.
The prodigies of both the Immortal Realm and the Other Realm instinctively halted their movements and looked over.
Yet that single glance left them breathless.
That ancient city was coated in a layer of violet-gold,and upon it remained natural divine markings of the Great Dao.
It was unmistakably the material used to forge emperor weapons — Divine Marking Violet-Gold!
Though not the entire ancient city was constructed from Divine Marking Violet-Gold.
But even just coating it with a single layer of Divine Marking Violet-Gold would require enough material to forge a complete emperor weapon!
"What manner of craftsmanship is this?"
The prodigies of both realms were filled with awe.
The entire ancient city had a breathtaking aura circulating through it.
Its surface was adorned with reliefs carved with totems of mountains and rivers,the sun and moon,primordial ancient beasts,and countless divine beings and demons.
All manner of runes manifested,with chains of laws coiling around them.
It looked extraordinarily ancient,absolutely not something belonging to this era.
Beneath the ancient city lay an ancient formation diagram,whose scope seemed to extend underground and cover the entire Celestial Burial Forest.
This scale of craftsmanship once again left everyone stunned.
"It's that……"
The heartstrings of both Tiancanz and Yan Rumeng stirred at the same moment.
The vague premonition they had felt before had come from that ancient city.
As for why only the two of them had sensed it,that was likely connected to whatever was hidden deep within the ancient city.
"What is that?"
Li Jiuming and the other Heavenly King-level prodigies were also taken aback.
Yet they vaguely sensed that the ancient city gave them a deeply unsettling feeling of danger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
From deep within the ancient city,violent tremors suddenly rang out.
It was as though thousands of troops were marching in unison,and the aura of clashing iron and steel spread outward.
Four bronze immortal soldiers suddenly emerged from within the ancient city.
These bronze immortal soldiers were entirely bronze-gold in color,wielding weapons such as celestial halberds and long spears,with supreme runes flowing across their surfaces.
"Other Realm beings — kill!"
A deep and muffled voice rang out from the mouths of the bronze immortal soldiers.
They marched forward,charging toward Li Jiuming and the others.
"Damn it,this is a relic left behind by a great figure of the Immortal Realm — retreat!"
At the sight of this,Li Jiuming's eyelid twitched.
The Borderlands were vast beyond measure,and since ancient times,countless powerful beings from both realms had fallen here.
The Great Sacrificial Blood Ground,for instance,was said to have formed after a top-tier Other Realm sovereign fell there,becoming a treacherous forbidden zone.
So it was hardly surprising that this place held relics left behind by powerful predecessors of the Immortal Realm.
Seeing Li Jiuming and the others retreat.
Tiancanz burst into laughter.
"Heaven is on my side!"
He turned,his gaze burning with intensity,and looked toward the violet-gold ancient city.
He had a premonition that within it lay an opportunity that could transform him.
Perhaps through this opportunity,he could transform into the invincible Ten-Transformation Divine Silkworm!
Tiancanz's figure turned into a streak of flowing light,moving to enter the violet-gold ancient city.
Ji Qingyi's eyes flashed,and she entered as well.
The Sun Sacred Guard and Moon Sacred Guard did the same.
"We're going too!" Yan Rumeng bit her full red lips with her pearly teeth.
She also felt that a great opportunity lay within.
They all entered the violet-gold ancient city.
Meanwhile,on the other side,Li Jiuming and the others being hunted by the four bronze immortal soldiers were in a rather sorry state.
These bronze immortal soldiers were impervious to blades and spears,with supreme runes flowing across their surfaces.
Li Jiuming and the others simply could not stop them.
Before long,a Heavenly King-level prodigy had already fallen.
Elsewhere,a figure clad in white robes,wearing a ghost-face mask,with wisps of chaotic energy swirling around them.
Like a divine king crossing into another realm,hands clasped behind their back,traversing through the void.
All the dense forest,fierce beasts,remnant formations,and everything else in the surroundings were scattered by the chaotic energy emanating from this figure.
This figure was naturally Jun Xiaoyao,who had entered the Celestial Burial Forest.
Ahead,a sudden commotion reached him.
Jun Xiaoyao glanced over,and saw Li Jiuming and the others fleeing in a wretched state.
"It's you!"
Upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao,Li Jiuming,Puyao,Jin Zhan,and the others wore very unnatural expressions.
To think that Jun Xiaoyao had witnessed them in such a sorry state.
But at this moment,they were in crisis,and the unpleasantness with Jun Xiaoyao from before could only be pushed to the back of their minds for now.
They also knew that although Jun Xiaoyao was at the quasi-supreme level,even among supreme beings,he was an absolute powerhouse.
That Mojie Imperial Son had been pinned to death by a single halberd strike from Jun Xiaoyao.
"Yu Xiaoyao,we've discovered an Immortal Realm opportunity,but we're being hunted by the puppets within it. Help us eliminate these puppets first,and then we'll go compete for that opportunity together!"
Li Jiuming spoke up,though reluctant at heart,he had no other choice.
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze swept over Li Jiuming and the others with an air of amusement.
For some reason,upon sensing that gaze,Li Jiuming's heart suddenly sank.
Then Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand,and a brilliant streak of sword light soared into the sky.
A three-foot sword embryo emerged,driven by the power of chaos,unleashing the Heaven-Severing Art,slashing toward Li Jiuming and the others!
"Yu Xiaoyao,you dare!"
At the sight of this,Li Jiuming's eyes nearly split with rage as he roared.
