Chapter 2801: Chapter 2801: Lending a Helping Hand

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor was cunning and experienced. Knowing that the Emperor’s Palace Gods joined forces to contend against Divine Venerable Realm experts, he chose not to entangle with them but to evade from the East, avoiding being trapped by their formation.

The Emperor’s Palace Gods could not catch up with the Scorpion Clan Ancestor. Although somewhat exasperated, they were also helpless and could only refocus their attention on the battle between Fang Bai and Ziyun Starlord.

They were already prepared, ready to rush forward and form an array against Ziyun Starlord if Fang Bai were to fall into disadvantage, willing to do anything to ensure Fang Bai’s safety.

With the assistance of thirty percent of the Scorpion Clan Ancestor’s Divine Power, Ziyun Starlord fought increasingly bravely, thoroughly suppressing Fang Bai.

Fang Bai retreated step by step, finally summoning the Pangu Axe, and using it alongside the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, barely managing to block Ziyun Starlord’s attacks but still remained at a disadvantage.

Seeing the Pangu Axe and Blood-Drinking Mad Blade in Fang Bai’s hands, Ziyun Starlord was envious and passionate, but upon recalling that these two Divine Artifacts would belong to the Scorpion Clan Ancestor after defeating Fang Bai, he couldn’t help feeling gloomy.

"I’ll let you have the two Divine Artifacts for now. Once my brother, Vermilion Phoenix Starlord, arrives, I’ll find a way to snatch them back from you!"

Ziyun Starlord thought secretly.

Hundreds of breaths of time passed in a blink. Although Fang Bai was repeatedly knocked flying by Ziyun Starlord, suffering multiple wounds, it was not to the extent of hurting his muscles and bones, and his combat strength was not significantly impaired.

Ziyun Starlord knew Fang Bai had a special physique with a resilient body, and thought that if another few hundred breaths passed without being able to defeat Fang Bai, even borrowing more strength from the Scorpion Clan Ancestor might not suffice, causing him to become anxious.

"Brother, I’m here!"

At this moment, a thunderous voice echoed through. Hearing it, Ziyun Starlord’s spirit was lifted, knowing that his brother Vermilion Phoenix Starlord had arrived.

Vermilion Phoenix Starlord, possessing strength comparable to Ziyun Starlord’s, made him feel reassured; with his support, Ziyun Starlord wouldn’t need to worry about the Emperor’s Palace Gods and could focus solely on dealing with Fang Bai.

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor, aware of the relationship between Vermilion Phoenix Starlord and Ziyun Starlord, was startled upon seeing him arrive.

Although he knew Ziyun Starlord wouldn’t renege on the agreement made in front of everyone, he was certain that once the matter was concluded, the two brothers would surely unite against him.

The Starry Sky Demon Clan was no easy prey!

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor started to have second thoughts but was reluctant to give up Fang Bai’s blood and the Divine Artifacts in his hands, causing him to hesitate.

After arriving, Vermilion Phoenix Starlord observed his brother engaged in a fierce battle with Fang Bai and marveled at how Fang Bai’s combat strength had reached the high rank of the True God Realm.

He and Ziyun Starlord were of one mind, and after silently watching for a moment, he speculated on the causes and effects of the situation.

"Brother, let me lend you a hand!"

Vermilion Phoenix Starlord said as he prepared to aid Ziyun Starlord by transferring Divine Power to him.

Ziyun Starlord, already holding an advantage against Fang Bai, would overwhelm him soon if bolstered by Vermilion Phoenix Starlord’s power.

However, as Vermilion Phoenix Starlord moved, Emperor’s Palace Gods also acted, surrounding him in the starry sky and circulating their Formation.

"Want to help that old scoundrel? Get past us first!"

Baihua said with an icy tone.

The other Emperor’s Palace Gods were all full of fighting spirit, united against a common enemy, Divine Artifacts in hand, ready for a fierce battle.

"Just you? Think you’re worthy of battling me?"

Vermilion Phoenix Starlord underestimated the marvelous formation of the Emperor’s Palace Gods with a face full of disdain.

"Brother, their formation is formidable; do not underestimate them!"

Seeing his brother caught within the formation set by the Emperor’s Palace Gods, Ziyun Starlord secretly exclaimed that things were not good.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing these words, Vermilion Phoenix Starlord began to take the Emperor’s Palace Gods more seriously, remaining vigilant while observing the formation.

Being a Divine Venerable Realm expert with extraordinary insight, he indeed discovered a few mysteries after a careful observation of the formation, and exhaled in shock.

Although the Emperor’s Palace Gods were only Void God Realm experts, forming the formation gave Vermilion Phoenix Starlord a feeling as if facing a Divine Venerable Realm expert as formidable as himself.

He rushed from Vermilion Phoenix Star to Purple Cloud Star upon receiving Ziyun Starlord’s request for assistance, thinking his aid would allow Ziyun Starlord to easily defeat and capture Fang Bai.

But now it seemed that instead of being able to help Ziyun Starlord, he might get embroiled in a bitter battle himself after arriving at Purple Cloud Star.

The goal of surrounding Vermilion Phoenix Starlord was to prevent him from interfering in the battle between Palace Master and Ziyun Starlord.

Thus, as long as Vermilion Phoenix Starlord remained still, they would surround without attacking.

Should Vermilion Phoenix Starlord insist on assisting Ziyun Starlord, their formation would immediately start operating at high speed and mount an attack on him.

Although surprised by the formation’s might, Vermilion Phoenix Starlord, as a Divine Venerable Realm expert, naturally wouldn’t shrink back from a fight.

Hence, after a brief moment of shock, he wielded a Divine Artifact, initiating an attack to try and shatter the formation made by the Emperor’s Palace Gods.

However, the Emperor’s Palace Gods maintained a high level of vigilance, and as soon as Vermilion Phoenix Starlord moved, their formation sped up, like an invisible large net, firmly trapping him.

Thus, outside Purple Cloud Star, two battlefields formed in the starry sky.

All four parties in these confrontations were experts comparable to Divine Venerable Realm.

From a distance, the observing Gods directed their Divine Sense at Fang Bai and the Emperor’s Palace Gods, witnessing their realm and cultivation level, clearly inferior to Divine Venerable Realm, yet exhibiting strength on par with it, and were all marveling with amazement.

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor, seeing Vermilion Phoenix Starlord trapped and Ziyun Starlord and Fang Bai locked in an intense battle, hoped for a mutual defeat. This way, he could easily obtain Fang Bai’s full blood and both of his Divine Artifacts, with a chance to become the Starlord of either Purple Cloud Star or Vermilion Phoenix Star.

Thus, he retreated thousands of miles away, watching aloofly, planning to reap the benefits once the four sides decided the victor among them.

"Submit! You’re not my match! If you admit defeat, I’ll let you leave in peace!"

Ziyun Starlord was nearing the depletion of the Divine Power infused by the Scorpion Clan Ancestor, knowing that once exhausted, his dominant position would be lost, growing increasingly anxious.

He was willing to let Fang Bai go, albeit reluctantly, for that outcome was far better than being defeated by Fang Bai in the end.

At this moment, Fang Bai’s injuries deepened, yet he continued to tenaciously persist wielding his two Divine Artifacts.

"If you admit defeat, I can also let you leave in peace!"

Fang Bai said, knowing he still held two hidden cards: the recently consumed Divine Fire and the seven Primordial Spirits, without deploying them otherwise the battle’s outcome might have been long decided.

The reason Fang Bai held back was not to reveal his ultimate skills, ensuring an element of surprise against more formidable opponents he might face in the future.

Yet, Fang Bai understood that his current adversaries included not just Ziyun Starlord, but also Vermilion Phoenix Starlord and the contemplative Scorpion Clan Ancestor waiting in the wings.
