"Oh! I've heard much about you. May I ask about the other two?"
The Abyss Star Demonic Flame Moon Wolf King bowed respectfully, his posture very low. He wasn't particularly concerned about Mao Xiang, but with two Divine Mansion realm powerhouses present, he had to show the Grandmaster some respect.
Wang Baobao and Yu Chigong, their eyes radiating cold light, fixed their gaze on the Abyss Star Demonic Flame Moon Wolf King. "The Great Han's Cavalry General - Wang Baobao!"
"The Great Han's Yang Wu General - Yu Chigong!"
Generals?
These names, suddenly echoing in everyone's ears, made them re-evaluate the mysterious Great Han.
Previously, their strongest was not the Great Han's Celestial Affairs Director, Yuan Tiangang. Now, they had two Divine Mansion realm powerhouses, battle-hardened generals. The Great Han was still as terrifying as ever!
If these two Divine Mansion realm generals were to command vast armies, which of the kingdoms under heaven could the Great Han not conquer?
"I have long admired your reputations. I am the Abyss Star Demonic Flame Moon Wolf King!"
The Abyss Star Demonic Flame Moon Wolf King clasped his hands in greeting and then walked towards the King of Chu. Suddenly, a surge of primal energy erupted from behind him, and spatial primal energy poured in.
*Hummm~*
A ripple of spatial primal energy, and then a figure, Yao Li, five feet tall, with a cold face and tightly shut eyes, materialized amidst Mao Xiang, Yu Chigong, and Wang Baobao. He exuded an aloof aura that kept others at bay.
"Divine Mansion, another Divine Mansion realm powerhouse!!"
The Abyss Star Demonic Flame Moon Wolf King turned, his eyes filled with shock.
Three of them!
Three Divine Mansion realm powerhouses from the Great Han!
If three Divine Mansion realm powerhouses had descended upon the Prison Spirit Abyss, how many must there be in the palace of the Great Han's Chang'an City?
This sudden appearance of Divine Mansion realm powerhouses once again stunned the martial artists from all corners of the world. The Great Han remained as formidable as ever!
They had initially thought the most powerful were the mysterious Loulan Kingdom and the low-key Southwestern Chu Kingdom. Little did they expect that the newly established Great Han would still be, as perceived by those outside the Prison Spirit Abyss, the foremost power in Tian Yue.
"Lord Yao Li, we did not expect your arrival. May I ask the reason for your presence?"
Mao Xiang asked softly, looking at Yao Li.
Yu Chigong and Wang Baobao also looked in the direction of Yao Li. Prince Yang Hao had only given orders to the two of them previously.
"His Highness was concerned that after the secret treasury opened, Lord Mao Xiang would be alone outside and in potential danger!"
"He was also concerned about the descendants of that mysterious powerhouse from ten thousand years ago reappearing. Thus, His Highness commanded me to bring the 'Five Tiger Generals' illustrated scroll to lend assistance!"
The cold voice resonated warmly in the ears of the three. Yu Chigong and Wang Baobao had initially worried that with powerhouses swarming the Soul Severing Cliff, if they were to enter the Prison Spirit Abyss, leaving only the Grandmaster realm Mao Xiang outside, what would happen?
They never expected His Highness to specially dispatch the Divine Mansion realm powerhouse Yao Li to protect Mao Xiang, and to bring the 'Five Tiger Generals' illustrated scroll. This scroll sealed the power of five supreme experts. Once summoned, it could likely sink Tian Yue itself!
"Thank you for His Highness's concern. This subject shall dedicate his entire life to protecting His Highness!!"
Mao Xiang's eyes welled up with tears, and he knelt down with a resounding thud!
***
The scorching sun shone down on the Soul Severing Cliff, where pale, cold skeletons were scattered everywhere. These were the remains of the royal bloodlines of a vanquished kingdom and the elite forces from thousands of years ago.
*Bang!*
A sharp crack echoed from the depths of the Soul Severing Cliff, followed by an outpouring of immense primal energy that swept across the entire cliff.
"It's open, it's open! The secret treasury is open!!"
The crowd stirred, their gazes fixed intently on the depths of the Soul Severing Cliff.
*Hummm~*
*Swish swish swish!!*
From the depths of the Soul Severing Cliff came a sound like flowing water. Yellow ripples spread out layer by layer, engulfing the entire Prison Spirit Abyss.
*Clang~*
*Clang~*
*Clang~*
Three bell tolls, as if from the deepest abyss, carrying a potent royal aura that suffocated everyone. The entire space felt constricting and profound!
*Hummm~*
*Roar!!*
A dragon's roar resounded from the depths, and streaks of yellow royal energy intertwined in the depths of the Soul Severing Cliff. A five-clawed golden dragon emerged from the void, its golden radiance spreading out, starkly contrasting with the pale, white skeletons littering the Soul Severing Cliff.
The primal energy flowing from the five-clawed golden dragon was exceptionally dense, surpassing that of martial artists in the Returning Origin realm. Accompanying the dragon's roars, martial artists below the Divine Mansion realm found their faces flushing red, as if blood was about to burst from their bodies. They gasped for breath, their legs trembling uncontrollably from the discomfort. They circulated their primal energy, desperately resisting the dragon's oppressive might!
Yu Chigong and Wang Baobao stood before Yao Li and Mao Xiang, shielding them from the dragon's pressure. Each roar of the five-clawed golden dragon felt like a colossal mountain crashing down upon them!
*Clang~*
*Clang~*
*Clang~*
*Hummm~*
Everyone looked up to see a massive bronze gate slowly rising. The five-clawed golden dragon stood atop the bronze gate, transforming into a bronze carving, its gaze surveying all directions!!
Yao Li tightened his grip on the qingfeng sword at his waist. "Even a single gate is so powerful, oppressing everyone to struggle against it. One can imagine how mighty the Xuanyuan Dynasty of ten thousand years ago must have been!"
*Swish swish swish!!*
Dense primal energy condensed into a liquid form and, as the bronze gate fully revealed itself, instantly dispersed, forming a pool beneath the gate, with ripples encircling it.
*Boom!!*
*Boom!!*
Two figures suddenly descended onto the Soul Severing Cliff plaza, causing everyone's eyelids to twitch!
Who were these individuals, daring to defy the ancient beings of the Prison Spirit Abyss and fly openly above it?
*Boom!!*
Dust and smoke billowed as two large craters appeared on the Soul Severing Cliff plaza!
"Presumptuous! Daring to defy the ancestor's will, you court death!"
A demon king, having taken human form, roared, his heart churning with rage. For thousands of years, who had dared to fly above the Prison Spirit Abyss? Yet these two, in the ancestor's resting place, were so brazen!
The demon king's body instantly vanished behind the Abyss Star Demonic Flame Moon Wolf King. Three bloody claw marks tore through the void, ferociously slashing towards the two figures who had suddenly appeared.
The three claw marks, imbued with bloody light, permeated the void. The primal energy of the fifth layer of the Returning Origin realm erupted, and an endless bloody aura instantly locked onto the two figures!
"Hmm!"
One of them slightly raised his head. His thick black robe obscured his face, revealing only two pale blue eyes that gazed at the Returning Origin demon king's incoming strike.
*Hummm~*
An afterimage instantly blurred!!
*Bang!!*
A pale blue light exploded at the demon king's location, the blast spreading across the entire Soul Severing Cliff plaza.
Everyone looked to see the Returning Origin demon king pinned beneath the mysterious powerhouse's foot, blood flowing freely. The demon king had even been forced out of his original form by a single stomp from the mysterious powerhouse, revealing a seven-foot-long black serpent.
"Even your ancestor here would not dare to lecture us. A mere Returning Origin snake, daring to spout such nonsense!"
