”No! Impossible!”
A panicked and disturbed voice resounded in everyone's ears. Bang! In a flash of light, True Lord Yellow Dragon retreated even faster than he had come, crossing tens of thousands of feet in the blink of an eye.
”You think you can run? We have been waiting for a long time!”
A majestic, vast, hallowed, and noble voice resounded across the heavens, like that of the god who reigned over the nine heavens. As this voice spoke, that gigantic sword slashed down. One second ago, it had been floating in the air, but a second later, it had slashed down as if it wanted to cleave the firmament in two!
Rumble!
A Sword Qi as hot as the sun lit up the capital as brightly as day, so dazzling that everyone was forced to close their eyes.
This attack issued forth from Taiji Palace and sought to span the world, extending for millions of feet.
Rumble!
If one looked down from the sky, one could see this immense Sword Qi almost cleaving the Central Plains in half, reaching all the way to the ocean and making the mountains of the southwest tremble.
Not only that, the moment this Sword Qi shot forward, a vast and majestic pressure spread outward from Taiji Palace, instantly engulfing the entire capital. This pressure was as heavy as a mountain and almost tangible, and as it pressed down, it made everyone's minds tremble and their feet become unsteady.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Across the capital, countless Imperial Army soldiers got down on their knees.
”Your Majesty!”
Eastern Palace Guard Captain Fei Yuhan dropped to his knees, his face covered in cold sweat and his entire body shaking. There was only one person in the world who possessed such divine pressure, and that person was the Sage Emperor of the Great Tang.
At almost the same time, Hou Junji nastily scowled.
At this moment, in the skies above the capital…
”Ah! No!”
There was a scream as that majestic Sword Qi instantly caught up to True Lord Yellow Dragon.
Buzz!
Time seemed to stop, as True Lord Yellow Dragon seemed to be frozen in the air. The twelve magnificent and mysterious Halos of Spacetime around him instantly crumbled, lasting less than half a second. And then True Lord Yellow Dragon began to shatter, starting from his skin and working its way inward.
In the blink of an eye, one of the most terrifying existences of the Celestial God Organization to yet appear was pulverized.
”Li Taiyi, I won't let you go! Supreme One, save me!”
True Lord Yellow Dragon's fleshly body was obliterated, but his soul remained. More than one thousand years of tempering had made his soul and will tougher than steel, allowing it to survive the destruction of his body. But even so, after taking the Sage Emperor's attack, True Lord Yellow Dragon's twisted soul was beginning to crumble away.
The Sage Emperor's sword intent was seeping into the depths of his soul, and if this went on, his death would be inevitable.
Everyone inside and outside of the Imperial City was struck dumb by the events in the sky. No one knew what True Lord Yellow Dragon was talking about.
Li Taiyi?
He seemed to be talking about the Sage Emperor, but everyone knew that the Sage Emperor's name was not Li Taiyi. As for True Lord Yellow Dragon's last words, no one could comprehend them.
Buzz!
True Lord Yellow Dragon's soul disintegrated with frightening speed, and there was soon only a tiny wisp left. At this moment, kaboom! The clouds suddenly roiled, and a massive golden hand reached out from them to grab True Lord Yellow Dragon's soul.
”Supreme One!”
True Lord Yellow Dragon, who had been sure that he was about to die, instantly rejoiced upon seeing that golden hand and sensing that familiar energy. Like a drowning man spotting a rescue rope, he immediately rushed toward the hand.
True Lord Yellow Dragon understood more than anyone else that this individual was the only man who could save him from the Sage Emperor of the Great Tang.
But just when True Lord Yellow Dragon's soul began to move…
Bang!
A resplendent golden boot emerged from the pitch-black Taiji Palace.
This simple act was imbued with supreme power. The heavens themselves were unable to bear the weight of this foot and fiercely trembled.
True Lord Yellow Dragon's soul was just about to reach that golden hand, but when that golden boot emerged, he slowed down for just a thousandth of a second.
”No!”
Extreme fear appeared in the eyes of True Lord Yellow Dragon's soul. Just when that golden hand was right in front of him, his soul was turned to dust.
The golden hand paused, apparently not having expected this development.
”'Heaven', you've finally appeared!”
In front of Taiji Palace, a golden-robed figure had appeared. Though he was just casually standing there, his body exuded boundless power and majesty.
