The hundred-tiered Heavenly God arrived at the control room of the Divine Cannon and used a special device to lock onto Sky Wave City.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
Golden light continuously gathered in the energy chamber of the Divine Cannon.
"Charging 80%, charging 85%, charging 90%... Charging 100%!"
"Fire!"
"Sizzle sizzle!"
On the Sacred Emperor's warship, a powerful energy shockwave aimed at Sky Wave City and roared to life.
Within Sky Wave City, Ye Yun's eyes snapped open.
"Myriad Heavenly Cover!"
Ye Yun's divine sense moved, instantly activating the strongest energy form of the Ten Directions Heaven Covering Array.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
A bright light emanated from the massive altar in the center of Sky Wave City's plaza, striking the network of the Heaven Covering Array, which then transmitted the energy throughout the entire network.
"Rumble!"
Although Ye Yun's reaction was swift, the array's energy was still no match for the Imperial Might Divine Cannon.
With a deafening explosion, the array's network shattered instantly.
This was an attack comparable to that of a genius-level Extreme Prime God.
"Heaven and Earth Grand Shifting!"
Just as the might of the Divine Cannon was about to descend upon Sky Wave City's Imperial Palace, Ye Yun shot into the heavens, activating the Heaven and Earth Grand Shifting technique.
In front of Ye Yun, a colossal Tai Chi divine seal appeared. The seal spun rapidly, and the power of the Imperial Might Divine Cannon surged into it.
Relying on his exceptionally strong foundation, Ye Yun forcefully reversed the energy within the divine seal.
"Primordial Divine Power Enhancement – Counterattack!"
"Rumble!"
The immense energy shockwave, amplified by Primordial Divine Power, was returned with double the might!
"Hm?"
On the Sacred Emperor's warship, the Sacred Emperor's brow furrowed. He never expected Ye Yun to not only return the powerful energy but to do so with double its original force!
This was too outrageous!
"Sacred Emperor!"
The Lord of Sky Wave Star's face was contorted in fear. The power of this strike far surpassed his imagination, and he could already sense mortal danger.
"Hmph, scram!"
"Yes, yes!"
The Lord of Sky Wave Star quickly retreated behind the Sacred Emperor, trembling and not daring to make a move.
"Sacred Emperor's Palm Seal!"
A divine ability identical to Jin Wuzhu's, yet with an entirely different might.
A colossal golden handprint descended from the heavens, directly seizing the repelled light cannon shockwave in mid-air.
"Crack!"
The shockwave was crushed and obliterated, its energy vanishing into thin air.
Such terrifying power made Ye Yun realize that the being in the heavens above was no ordinary opponent.
"Who are you?"
"Hahaha, Supreme Master of Ten Thousand Realms, did you not consider the risks you would face on your journey to Mysterious Profound Mountain?"
"Oh… are you from the Divine Expanse Domain, the Ancient Domain, or the Sacred Emperor Domain?"
"Hmph, you blind fool. I have personally come from the Sacred Emperor Domain to mete out punishment. Who do you think I am?"
"Hmm, it appears you are the rumored Sacred Emperor. A pleasure to meet you."
Ye Yun nodded slightly, cupping his hands and bowing to the Sacred Emperor in the heavens.
The Sacred Emperor sneered, "Now you show courtesy, but it's too late. Ye Yun, you stole the opportunity belonging to my Sacred Emperor Domain at Mysterious Profound Mountain, and your disciples shamed Jin Wuzhu. This time, I have personally come to seek justice."
"Justice? Hahaha, Sacred Emperor, I fear your mind is addled. The rules for the Grand Ceremony of Mysterious Profound Mountain's eruption were established by Senior Mountain God. If you speak of justice now, I can indeed engage in a discussion with you."
"Insolent cur, Ye Yun! How dare you be so arrogant before the Sacred Emperor? Kneel at once and kowtow to the Sacred Emperor!"
"Hm?"
Ye Yun turned his head, surprised to see the Lord of Sky Wave Star.
"Lord of Sky Wave Star, you defeated subordinate, dare to speak before me? Silence!"
Ye Yun's eyes locked onto the Lord of Sky Wave Star. Instantly, an invisible soul force, like dragon claws, grasped his throat.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh…"
The Lord of Sky Wave Star felt suffocated, unable to breathe. Deep-seated terror caused his legs to buckle, and he fell to his knees.
"I… I was wrong, Great Sovereign. Spare me."
"You know you were wrong now? Weren't you very arrogant just a moment ago?"
Ye Yun looked at the Lord of Sky Wave Star, surprised that this fellow had completely abandoned himself and become a dog under the Sacred Emperor and the Black Emperor.
"How would I dare to be presumptuous before!"
Even a dog must show respect to its master. Seeing Ye Yun show him no respect at all, the Sacred Emperor was enraged.
He unleashed his soul force, directly severing Ye Yun's control over the Lord of Sky Wave Star.
"Kid, you can actually use soul force? Have you even comprehended the rules of creation?"
"I have comprehended some, but it's not pure enough. If the Sacred Emperor could teach me, I would be grateful."
"A well-spoken young man indeed. Today, I shall truly teach you the ways of the world."
"Then I shall trouble you."
Facing the Sacred Emperor's oppressive aura, Ye Yun's brow tightened, his eyes fixed, showing no fear.
"However, you are not qualified. Teach him a lesson!"
The Sacred Emperor gestured to a general beside him.
"Yes, Sacred Emperor!"
The man stepped forward, his cold gaze fixed on Ye Yun.
"I am the Sacred Emperor's foremost general—Jin Yuwei. I shall teach this brat a lesson!"
"You have no right to teach Ye Yun a lesson."
Suddenly, a sharp voice echoed through the sky. A graceful figure appeared; it was Xing Wu.
"Wife, you've arrived."
"Yes, they've attacked our doorstep. How could I hide?"
Xing Wu said calmly to Ye Yun. Behind her, Lin Xueyan and the other women also arrived.
"Master, we've come too."
"Oh, you troublemaker, it seems there's no end to this."
The women looked coldly at the three warships in the sky, united in their resolve.
"Do you wish to fight in Ye Yun's stead?"
"May I not?"
Xing Wu faced Jin Yuwei directly, her expression confident.
After this period of recuperation, her Star Dominion Limit had reached great mastery, and her cultivation had recovered. At the level of an Extreme Prime God, she was virtually invincible.
"Hmph, Ye Yun, I didn't expect you to send a woman to fight. How laughable."
"Hey, hey, don't slander my husband. Women hold up half the sky, and what's more, I'm no ordinary woman. Is holding up an entire sky too difficult?"
"Very well, then I shall experience your skills."
Jin Yuwei's expression turned serious, and he drew his long saber.
This long saber was a Rank Nine Divine Artifact, which resonated with Jin Yuwei's cultivation, unleashing a chilling killing intent that surged towards Xing Wu.
Xing Wu remained unfazed. With the Star Dominion Limit and the Black Pagoda major cultivation techniques, she was now almost invincible below the level of a Creation God.
"Xing Wu, use this divine sword."
Ye Yun tossed a divine sword to her, the Xuan Nü Sword, which he had obtained from Mysterious Profound Mountain.
"Thank you, husband."
Xing Wu reached out her delicate hand, catching the jade sword in mid-air, and then slashed down.
"Whoosh!"
The sword energy merged with dark energy, transforming into a black barrier that instantly enveloped Jin Yuwei.
"Hm?"
Jin Yuwei's brow furrowed. He hadn't expected this woman's strength to be so formidable.
