It was a sweeping, thousand-army-crushing momentum, unleashing nearly ten thousand spear shadows that impacted in all directions.
"Rumble!"
The three old ancestors, the general, and Zhang Hao, who was desperately resisting, all turned pale with shock and were forced back. They saw the divine power at the center of their clash shatter explosively. The terrifying divine power surged like a runaway beast, pulverizing the void. Waves of energy pushed the void's essence back for a thousand feet, the tempest never ceasing, enveloping several individuals.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, before the three old ancestors and the general could evade the surging divine power, a black spear light materialized from another direction. The spear tip roared like a celestial-splitting rhinoceros divine beast, its black light dazzling and sharp as if forged for eternity.
"Not good!!"
Several people were instantly alarmed. Faced with the terrifying storm of divine power, they could barely evade. Yet, Zhang Hao still had the strength to retaliate. The three old ancestors struck each other with palms and rapidly retreated. However, the general, with slightly inferior strength, was unable to dodge in time. He was swept away by the sudden, monstrous, terrifying spear intent, his physical body disintegrating, leaving nothing behind.
"Boom!"
Another spear intent surged forth. The black spear intent was ubiquitous, like a colossal beast of the void, striking at the three old ancestors who had just stabilized themselves.
"Counterattack!"
One of the old ancestors roared. How long could they continue to evade? The three of them attacked simultaneously. One possessed a majestic aura of national destiny, likely an ancestor of the Yun clan's imperial lineage. His presence was a shade stronger than the other two. Three palms were unleashed, colliding with the black spear light.
"Boom!"
The spear intent trembled at this moment. The terrifying pressure dissipated. The combined efforts of the three finally halted Zhang Hao's relentless advance.
"You are strong. Lingering by Yun Shan's side, who has lost her connection to the Great Dao, you will gain nothing. Why not surrender to me? I will surely enfeoff you as a marshal of the Immortal Dynasty, commanding the armies of the Immortal Dynasty!" In another void, chaotic void energy churned intensely. The Yun clan's Immortal Emperor was channeling considerable imperial energy to empower his long sword, fiercely fending off Deng Qiang's desperate offensive.
"You? You dare demand my allegiance!"
Deng Qiang bellowed. His loyalty was to the Great Han Divine Emperor Yang Hao, not some Yun Shan. He disdained Yun Shan, who possessed the True Phoenix bloodline. A mere lord of an Immortal Dynasty, a peak Great Celestial Venerable, dared? Did he even deserve? To demand his surrender and fealty.
Ridiculous!
"Boom!"
Deng Qiang's spear pierced forward, the void energy surging for tens of thousands of miles. The divine power's shock caused this void battlefield to lose its color. Wherever one looked, there were dense, scalp-numbing spatial cracks. The invisible spear light made the void unstable.
"You want me to surrender? Are you worthy!"
Deng Qiang blocked the combined attack of the three with a single spear, scanning the Yun clan's Immortal Emperor. "Killing you would truly tarnish my spear!"
"Stomp, stomp, stomp..."
Yun Shan walked step by step towards the imperial palace hall. Looking up, she saw the majestic Imperial Throne, capable of governing the two hundred and more Dao Provinces of the Yun clan's Immortal Dynasty. Its golden radiance, surging imperial energy, and the national destiny that supported it.
At this moment, she recalled Yang Hao's words: for her to become the Yun clan's Immortal Emperor, to command the Yun clan's Immortal Dynasty, to expand for the Great Han Divine Dynasty, and even to lay the foundation for dominance in the Northern Underworld. She walked step by step towards the Imperial Throne!
"Vermin! Take one more step forward, and you will be defying the entire Yun clan's Immortal Dynasty!"
Suddenly, an official roared. These were words that all the officials present wanted to say but dared not.
"Hmm!"
Yun Shan turned back, her expressionless. Abruptly, a vast divine power, centered on this imperial palace, swept through the entire Yun Chi City. A colossal divine beast, shrouded in five-colored auspicious light, resembling the legendary True Phoenix, but with a hazy form, appeared above Yun Chi City. Even beings in nearby cities could see the divine beast when they looked up.
"That is..."
"That..."
Countless officials could not believe what they were seeing. The divine beast that stood high above, always enshrined in the ancestral temple of the Yun clan's Immortal Dynasty, appeared as an illusion condensed from divine power, yet they dared not believe it.
A cry echoed in all directions, resonating in the hearts of countless Yun clan beings. *Dong, dong, dong, dong*—their heartbeats pulsed in time with the cry. Their blood strangely boiled, beyond their control.
"Boom!"
In the void, a black spear light surged from the east. The terrifying spear intent directly struck one of the old ancestors. The moment the spear intent touched the ancestor's body, the spear tip transformed into the single horn of a celestial-splitting rhinoceros divine beast. With a roar, flesh and organs trembled. His entire chest caved in with a resounding boom, and was then pulverized.
"No~~~"
The unwilling ancestor collapsed, his body falling into the endless abyss of the void, its destination unknown. Within three breaths, his physical form was no longer visible.
"Third Brother!!!"
The old ancestor wielding the national destiny aura cried outpowerlessly towards the endless abyss. Three peak Great Celestial Venerables, fighting Zhang Hao together, and he was a human being at the Minor Celestial Venerable realm. They were not his match. The general was dead, and now an old ancestor was also annihilated, permanently lost in the void.
"Zhang Hao, you have disrupted the imperial palace, trampled upon my Yun clan's Immortal Dynasty, and now you have stained my Yun clan's blood. Killing you is not enough to quell the hatred in my heart, Old Ancestor!"
The ancestor of the imperial lineage raised his head, staring at Ye Fan with a cold, emotionless face. All his boundless rage was suppressed deep within his heart.
"Boom!"
He suddenly attacked. From within his body, dragon energy surged. Countless lines of national destiny, like dragons, poured in from the depths of Yun Chi City. He opened his palm, and nine dragon-qi coiled, forming a golden longsword. Gripping it tightly, he unleashed a single strike.
"Getting serious?"
"You old fossil, you still want to suppress me? You probably won't have the chance. What are you, a lingering remnant? In this era, with just your withered bones, do you think you can still roam the Nine Heavens!"
"Roar!"
Countless national destinies continuously condensed onto the longsword. Nine dragons churned on the sword energy, and a terrifying killing intent erupted.
"Hum!"
The void cracked open. The terrifying dragon energy shook the void. Waves of dreadful, peerless killing intent rushed into the sky above Yun Chi City.
"That is!!"
Countless beings looked up, seeing the two old ancestors standing in the void, and Zhang Hao, who stood proudly in the world, holding his spear.
"Scram!"
Zhang Hao lunged forward with his spear. A black spear intent shot out, directly tearing through ten thousand miles of space. The terrifying spear intent, like a celestial-splitting rhinoceros divine beast, rampaged through space.
