Chapter 726 Holy Knight Clan

"Take it out?"

Ye Wushuang’s face darkened. His Origin wound hadn’t even healed yet. How could he possibly take out a Great Saint?

The rank of Great Saint was above that of a Saint Sage!

The terror of a Great Saint was far beyond what one could imagine.

However, staring at the Eye of the Firmament, he had a bad feeling. If it were to strike, Ye Wushuang truly wouldn’t be able to dodge it.

Ye Wushuang secretly braced himself, just in case.

But at that moment, the Eye of the Firmament, which had been staring at Ye Wushuang, burrowed back into the void, leaving no other trace of its presence.

The Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace also returned to normal. The Great Dao Mark sank into the violet-red flames, and tranquility was restored.

Ye Wushuang’s gaze hardened. He didn’t understand what this Eye of the Firmament was trying to do.

He had thought it was about to attack him, but after waiting for a long time, it never reappeared.

"What the hell was that? Did it just pop out for a stroll? Is it playing games?" the Dragon Cat grumbled, glancing at the Firmament with dissatisfaction.

Ye Wushuang fell silent. He pondered for a long while but still couldn’t figure out the Eye of the Firmament’s intentions. However, he knew that the Profound Sun Domain’s Eye of the Firmament wouldn’t appear for no reason.

"Hahaha, Ye Wushuang! The heavens of the Profound Sun Domain have sensed my presence! I’m sure it will come for you soon. I may have suffered heavy injuries and fallen from the Great Saint realm, but the ’heaven’ here is unharmed. Just you wait to be executed!"

Inside the Chaos Space, Celestial Dao laughed like a madman.

"Sensed?"

Ye Wushuang’s heart suddenly sank. He glanced at the Firmament and thought, ’Could that really be the reason?’

"Brother Ye, what’s wrong?"

Wu Qianqian snapped back to her senses from her shock and terror. Seeing Ye Wushuang’s grave expression, she immediately asked. This was the first time she had ever seen him look like this.

"It’s nothing. Let’s enter the city."

Ye Wushuang put his thoughts aside and called out to Wu Qianqian. He then said to the Dragon Cat, "This time, beat him even harder. At the very least, make sure he behaves himself from now on."

With that, he walked into Flame City.

The Dragon Cat understood. It let out a wicked cackle and dove into the Chaos Space. The continuous sound of SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! rang out, accompanied by earth-shattering roars and cries of pain.

It was unclear what methods that rascal, the Dragon Cat, was using, but even Celestial Dao was being beaten so brutally it was inhumane.

The Purple Emperor was so scared he hid in the Purgatory Space. Hearing those miserable screams again was a form of torture for him as well.

On the streets of Flame City, the chatter of the passing crowds could still be heard. Their conversations mostly revolved around the recent cosmic phenomenon. Clearly, such an event was unprecedented in Flame City.

The trio, walking through the crowd, attracted no attention.

"This Flame City is truly huge! And the Dao Charm within it is so dense. No wonder it’s called a Holy Land of the Profound Sun Domain."

Gao Yang was filled with amazement.

Ye Wushuang was also shocked. This city was many times larger than even a Holy City. Here, Yun Dao cultivators were as common as dogs, and Pseudo-Saints were a dime a dozen.

In some places, he even sensed the auras of Saint Sages. And unbelievably, there was more than one.

After all, the heavens here did not suppress all living beings like in the Grand Emperor Domain. It was no surprise there were Saint Sages.

Ye Wushuang understood a thing or two about this phenomenon, so he quickly came to terms with it.

’Still, these Saint Sages are a threat to me. It seems I must recover as quickly as possible,’ Ye Wushuang thought. ’Regardless of whether there’s danger, becoming stronger is essential. Only when I am powerful enough will all threats disappear.’

He swept the area with his Divine Soul Power before striding forward.

"Hurry, hurry! I heard that another Fire Seal has formed inside the Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace!"

"What?! Fire Seals are treasures containing Great Dao Marks! It takes a hundred years for one to form. Obtaining a Fire Seal grants an opportunity to become a Saint! Didn’t one just appear three years ago? How could another one form before the hundred-year period is up?"

"It must have been caused by that phenomenon just now! Let’s go have a look! Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to gain the recognition of that Fire Seal!"

...

A few people brushed past Ye Wushuang, rushing toward the Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace as they discussed it.

Ye Wushuang picked up a lot of information from their conversation and became curious about this Fire Seal.

"Let’s go take a look too!"

Ye Wushuang thought for a moment. He was also very curious about the Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace. To be able to contain thousands of Flame Paths, it had to have surpassed the level of Holy Dao Soldiers.

Wu Qianqian and Gao Yang followed closely behind Ye Wushuang, heading toward the gathering crowd. It didn’t take them long to arrive.

They now stood before a Celestial Bridge. This magnificent bridge, forged from rare Holy Gold, stretched across the void.

Identical Celestial Bridges existed in the other three cardinal directions, with their ends meeting at a suspended, circular plaza. The Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace was situated in the very center!

That circular plaza was the closest point to the Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace. The three of them also stepped onto the Celestial Bridge.

RUMBLE!

The moment they set foot on it, a violent tremor erupted behind them, so powerful it felt as if the Celestial Bridge was about to collapse.

"Move aside!"

A series of shouts, like claps of thunder, rang out clearly in the crowd’s ears.

In an instant, the crowd parted, clearly intimidated by the shouts. How could they not know? The Holy Knight Clan had arrived.

RUMBLE!

The crowd tore open a wide path, revealing terrifying Demon Beasts charging forward. They were wreathed in powerful demonic winds that pushed the people to either side.

Among these Demon Beasts were Demon Scale Dragon Horses and Red Blood Celestial Lions. All of them were close to the level of Pseudo-Holy Beasts, equivalent to humans with Pseudo-Saint Cultivation.

Moreover, they were all clad in armor, looking majestic and extraordinarily spirited.

And on their backs rode men in full armor, their hair flying at their temples. Their auras were as sharp as swords, and they exuded an unparalleled dominance.

They rode their War Beasts, charging straight ahead as fast as the wind. They had no intention of stopping, aiming directly for the circular plaza.

"Move aside!"

Ye Wushuang frowned, but not wanting any trouble, he called out to Wu Qianqian and Gao Yang.

Upon hearing him, Wu Qianqian quickly moved back.

Gao Yang, however, froze for a second. By the time he reacted and prepared to move aside, the terrifying War Beasts had already closed in.

ROAR!

Suddenly, a Red Blood Celestial Lion in front of Gao Yang reared up, letting out a sky-shaking roar. The sound was so powerful it made one’s eardrums ache.

Gao Yang’s face turned pale with fright, and he hastily scrambled back a dozen steps.

BOOM!

The Red Blood Celestial Lion slammed its front hooves down on the spot where Gao Yang had just been standing. With a loud BANG, the very void cracked under the impact!

Gao Yang was even more terrified. If he had been a step slower, he would have been stomped into a bloody pulp!

In the next instant, the man on the Red Blood Celestial Lion also stopped. He stared at Gao Yang with a cold, indifferent gaze and, without a word, raised his hand and slapped him.

A palm condensed from True Essence viciously struck Gao Yang’s face. With a sharp SLAP, his face immediately turned red and started to bleed!

Gao Yang let out a muffled grunt and endured it, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"Apologize!"

At the same time, the man on the Red Blood Celestial Lion spoke. His cold reprimand was filled with a condescending, commanding tone and a powerful aura.

The onlookers were horrified. ’It’s over for him!’ they thought.

"S-Sorry!"

Gao Yang’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly apologized, keenly aware of the gap in strength between himself and his aggressor.

"Louder. I didn’t hear you." The man’s anger, however, had apparently not subsided. He suddenly bellowed, and the rolling Thunder Sound of his voice made Gao Yang grunt as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"BOOM!"

Without a second thought, he condensed another True Essence Hand and sent it flying toward the other side of Gao Yang’s face, completely without reason.

RUMBLE!

Ye Wushuang took this opportunity to step forward, his terrifying aura shattering the True Essence Hand.

"He already apologized. Why must you be so aggressive?"

Ye Wushuang stared at the man, his gaze ice-cold.

At this moment, the rest of the War Beasts caught up. This group was entirely made up of people from the Holy Knight Clan, a fact the fearful crowd in the distance knew all too well.

"Wosi, trample over him!"

A cold voice came from behind, ordering the man to trample over Ye Wushuang’s body.
