Chapter 576: Chapter 575: Suppressing the Former Emperors

"You... who in the world are you!?"

They quickly calmed down, staring intently at Yi Tianyun. They didn’t know who he was, but his sudden appearance meant he was up to no good. As they spoke, the four Great Emperors were already on high alert. A murderous aura enveloped the area, sealing off every exit.

As they sized up Yi Tianyun, they began to form a suspicion about who this young man might be.

Yi Tianyun had no need for concealment; his face wasn’t even disguised. He’d only needed disguises before, when he felt he couldn’t face his enemies. Now that he had broken through to the Spirit King Stage, he could do as he pleased in the Mortal Realm, so long as no Saint Masters showed up.

"Who do you think I am?" Yi Tianyun’s gaze fell upon Late Emperor Longyun, a sinisterly charming light flickered in his eyes.

Late Emperor Longyun froze. He suddenly felt himself lose control of his body, rooted to the spot. He couldn’t even muster a shred of his power. He tried to scream, but the sound was caught in his throat, refusing to come out.

Next, Yi Tianyun glanced at Late Emperor Xiao Tian. A mere flicker of his eyes was all it took for the man to lose control of his body as well.

The Eye of Enchantment was just that overpowered. A single glance was all it took—in less than a second, his target was completely under his control.

Late Emperor Xiao Tian and Late Emperor Longyun were the strongest of the group, so naturally, they were his first targets. Of course, he could have easily crushed them without resorting to mind control.

He only controlled them to make it easier to interrogate them later.

The other two Late Emperors were completely oblivious. They had no idea that two of their allies had been subjugated in the blink of an eye and were still trying to communicate with them via telepathy.

’This guy must be the Prince of the Celestial Dragon Empire. I didn’t even notice him come in. His cultivation can’t be low! He must be at least at the sixth or seventh layer of the Spirit King Stage. It looks like we won’t be able to use the Dragon Locking Array for the time being, but we can try surrounding him. If that doesn’t work, we retreat!’

Celestial Net Late Emperor continued to send messages, trying to gauge their opinions. When facing an opponent of unknown strength, it was always best to act with caution.

Although their sons’ cultivation levels weren’t particularly high, they were still Spirit Kings. Anyone who could easily slay four Spirit King experts was undoubtedly a formidable foe.

’I have no objections,’ Zhuge Yun swiftly replied.

After a moment of silence, Celestial Net Late Emperor realized the other two hadn’t responded. He found this odd. ’Are they giving their silent consent?’

Little did he know, the other two Late Emperors were desperate to reply, but they couldn’t even extend their Spiritual Sense. How could they possibly answer? They stood there motionless like wooden puppets, looking like a pair of fools.

"I have an objection."

The voice was like a sudden clap of thunder, booming right beside their ears. The two of them froze, snapping their heads up to find Yi Tianyun watching them, his hands clasped behind his back.

"Are you two done with your little chat over there? If so, we can begin now."

With a single step, Yi Tianyun vanished, reappearing before Celestial Net Late Emperor in the blink of an eye. Before the man could even react, Yi Tianyun’s kick sent him crashing to the floor. Yi Tianyun didn’t give him a chance to get up, stomping down hard on his chest. The man’s sternum collapsed with a sickening CRACK.

Celestial Net Late Emperor was a third-layer Spirit King Stage expert, after all. His Physique was certainly not weak; he should have been able to withstand a few blows, no problem. Yet, Yi Tianyun had effortlessly shattered his bones with a single stomp, leaving him sprawled on the ground like a heap of mud.

"You bastard, get off me!" Celestial Net Late Emperor roared through the excruciating pain. A torrent of fire erupted from his body and surged toward Yi Tianyun, threatening to incinerate him.

In an instant, Yi Tianyun was engulfed in flames. At his side, Zhuge Yun didn’t hesitate. A golden light flashed in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, six beams of light spun into existence, shimmering like sharp blades and filling the secret chamber with a dazzling, golden radiance.

"Go!"

Zhuge Yun waved his hand, and the six blades shot forward. Each was imbued with pure Gold Attribute Power, capable of piercing through anything. Each blade possessed a Combat Power of four to five hundred million—a truly astonishing level of force.

The two Spirit King experts attacked Yi Tianyun in concert, each unleashing a deadly technique. It may not have been their absolute strongest move, but they were using the majority of their power. Everything had happened too quickly for them to prepare their ultimate attacks.

"What are you two doing?! Attack him, now!"

Zhuge Yun roared in frustration. He saw that Late Emperor Longyun and the other one hadn’t moved a muscle. ’If all four of us attack together, we can surely kill him!’ he thought. But to his disbelief, the other two remained completely still, frozen in their original stances!

Then, the two of them finally moved. But they weren’t attacking Yi Tianyun—they were attacking Zhuge Yun. They struck in unison, their coordination so flawless it seemed they had been partners for years.

"You...!" Zhuge Yun’s face fell. He quickly summoned a golden fan, which snapped open before him like a peacock’s tail, forming a golden wall of defense.

"BOOM!"

With a deafening explosion, Zhuge Yun was sent flying. The blast tore the entire secret chamber apart. Zhuge Yun was thrown back for several miles before he finally managed to stop.

The attack was so sudden that even though he had raised his defense, he was still a step too slow. It was impossible to easily block a combined attack from two Spirit King experts who were both stronger than him.

As a result, he was wounded and covered in blood, clearly having sustained significant injuries.

"You... What’s wrong with you two? Are you traitors!?" Zhuge Yun was both shocked and furious. ’But that makes no sense,’ he thought. ’Our sons were killed by them. How could you possibly ally with the Celestial Dragon Empire?’

"They’re not traitors, of course. They’re just under my control, so naturally, they’ll attack you."

Yi Tianyun slowly strolled forward, flanked by Late Emperor Xiao Tian and Late Emperor Longyun, who advanced on Zhuge Yun step by step. As for the Celestial Net Late Emperor... he had been burned to a pile of ash, with not even a shadow remaining.

"How is that possible?!" Zhuge Yun was horrified. ’Two Spirit King experts... under his control?’ he thought. ’What kind of technique is this? How can it control two Spirit King Stage experts?’

Then his eyes fell on the pile of ash, and his expression turned even grimmer.

"What is this fire...?" Zhuge Yun’s face paled as he stared at the ashes on the ground. He could sense that this was no ordinary flame, but he couldn’t identify it.

It was a flame unlike any he had ever seen before. To have overpowered and incinerated Celestial Net Late Emperor’s own fire showed just how tyrannical it was.

In that moment, he understood completely. They had been wrong from the very beginning. Their mistake was making an enemy of Yi Tianyun! They had thought that as four Late Emperors, they could handle him with ease. Who could have known that he was not just stronger than them, but terrifyingly so!
