The faces of Huang Mang and the others lit up with glee upon hearing of Li Xiaotian's hatred towards the ancient tribes of Manzhou and the Xing Tian tribe.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although Yan Zhou and Man Zhou were in a state of hostility, they wouldn't mind cooperating with Man Zhou if it meant killing Li Xiaotian.
"Fire Boy, quickly go to Manzhou and ask if these two tribes are willing to join forces to hunt Li Xiaotian."
Jin Lian instructed Fire Boy, her heart filled with excitement, as if she could already see Li Xiaotian kneeling before her, awaiting death.
"Yes, Senior. I believe the two tribes will definitely agree to cooperate. After all, Li Xiaotian killed all their overlords and their tribal leaders. They will never let this pass."
Fire Boy replied respectfully, a smug satisfaction growing within him. If he succeeded in this matter, these Heaven-grade powerhouses would owe him a favor.
At that time, he would truly be able to roam freely in both Yan Zhou and Man Zhou.
A moment later, Fire Boy departed, heading straight for Man Zhou. Huang Mang and the others took their positions in the Huang Hall.
That afternoon, three powerful auras erupted from the Huang Hall once more. One of them, in particular, resonated throughout Yan Zhou, shocking countless people.
The Dao Sect, Sword Pavilion, War Sect, and the Ancient Village—all their Heaven-grade powerhouses couldn't help but ascend into the sky and gaze from afar, their expressions filled with awe.
"Even he has been alerted. Have those four in the Huang Hall gone mad? To awaken him solely for revenge, is killing one Li Xiaotian worth it?"
Above the Dao Sect, an old Taoist with a blurry figure spoke with astonishment and disbelief.
"Grandmaster, is this the legendary figure of the Huang Hall?"
Behind him, Dao Xuan respectfully inquired, his eyes filled with terror.
"Indeed, it is him. A Half-step Supreme, the true Lord of the Huang Hall."
The figure stated, his tone grave.
Dao Xuan's face immediately turned pale. It truly was him, the Half-step Supreme, the founder of the Huang Hall, a top-tier powerhouse from the same era as the Invincible powerhouses.
"To what end?"
Dao Xuan murmured, a hint of anger and unwillingness in his heart. To deal with Li Xiaotian, the Huang Hall had actually invited their ancestor. They were absolutely determined to leave Li Xiaotian no chance to survive!
The ancient powerhouses were divided into levels. Invincible powerhouses were the highest tier, true invincible beings who jointly controlled the world.
The Dao Lord of the Dao Sect, the Buddha of the Buddhist Sect, the Ancient and Moon Gods of the invincible families, the Holy Lords of the Western Holy See, the Sea God of Atlantis, and others were all Invincible powerhouses.
Below the Invincible powerhouses were the Supreme powerhouses currently stationed in various states: the Heaven-piercing Sword Master, Ananda of Fo Zhou, the leader of the Seven Knights under the Sea God, the Golden Lion Maiden of Europe, the Demon Lord, and so on. These were the second tier of powerhouses.
Although not invincible, their combat power could rival that of Invincible powerhouses. If not for some unknown reason, these powerhouses would have already become invincible in ancient times.
Following them were the third tier powerhouses, also known as Half-step Supremes. The recently awakened Lord of the Huang Hall, the Moon Venerable from the Moon family of the invincible families, the Bodhisattvas of the Four Great Sects of Fo Zhou, and the ancestors of other overlord-level forces in various states.
These powerhouses, like those of the second tier, were at the peak of the Heaven-grade realm. However, their combat power was slightly weaker than the second-tier powerhouses. What they lacked was the control over the Great Dao, and they could break through at any moment to become second-tier powerhouses.
Next were the Heaven-grade, Overlord-grade, and Emperor-grade.
As for the Ancestor of the Sea of Blood, he did not belong to any level of powerhouse. This was because the Ancestor was immortal and indestructible; even Invincible powerhouses could not destroy it.
However, in terms of specific combat power, it should be between the second and first tiers, the weakest among the Invincible powerhouses and the strongest among the Supreme powerhouses.
Although the top three tiers of powerhouses had detailed classifications, in Dao Xuan's eyes, these powerhouses were all unconquerable.
Therefore, when he learned that the Huang Hall had invited the Lord of the Huang Hall to deal with Li Xiaotian, Dao Xuan felt a surge of anger. This was simply bullying.
"I fear this is not just about dealing with Li Xiaotian."
The figure sighed, his tone filled with worry. If not for the mysterious disappearance of all the Invincible powerhouses, their Dao Sect would not have to worry about any unexpected events.
But now, without the Dao Lord's presence, their Dao Sect's strength was the weakest among the Sword Pavilion and the Huang Hall.
Above the Ancient Village, several figures floated in the air, gazing in the direction of the Huang Hall, their expressions varied.
"The emergence of this old geezer was expected. After all, the Huang Hall was founded by him, and their tradition is to win by numbers."
Moon Venerable spoke with a hint of mockery, though a flicker of solemnity crossed her eyes.
As a third-tier powerhouse herself, the Lord of the Huang Hall had lived much longer than her, and his trump cards and methods far surpassed hers. She was not confident in dealing with him.
"Heh heh, I'm afraid the idiots in the Huang Hall consider all of us as imaginary enemies, which is why they've brought him out. However, it's easy for him to awaken, but difficult for him to fall back into slumber. If his strength doesn't improve this time, his lifespan might be nearing its end."
An ancestor from the Gu family said with a cold laugh.
Slumber was a way to extend one's lifespan; otherwise, who would be willing to slumber?
The world had already been perfected, yet many Heaven-grade powerhouses were unwilling to awaken, simply because their lifespans were short, and they feared death.
"Aunt, esteemed seniors, the Huang Hall is so shameless to deal with Li Xiaotian like this. Is there no one to stop them?"
Yue E spoke indignantly. In ancient times, such things never happened.
Grudges between peers were resolved by peers, and the older generation was not allowed to interfere.
Now, Huang Wuya's parents had taken revenge on Li Xiaotian by capturing his friends and subordinates, which had broken the rules.
But unexpectedly, these two had also brought out an even older figure.
"Stop? Who will stop them? The one above? Heh, all the Invincibles have disappeared. The state of that one is also not at its peak. Even if he wanted to intervene, he would be powerless."
Moon Venerable said with a mocking look. This world had already fallen into chaos after the disappearance of the Invincible powerhouses.
Otherwise, why would the invincible families decline? Why would her Moon family be annihilated, leaving only her and Yue E?
"Sigh!"
Yue E sighed upon hearing this, her eyes filled with worry.
"Don't be afraid. Even if this old geezer emerges, he won't threaten our village. The combined foundation of several invincible families is enough to make even a true Invincible powerhouse retreat."
Moon Venerable said, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, before returning to the depths of the village.
The other several powerhouses chuckled and returned to the village.
Although the invincible families had declined, their ancestors were all Invincibles, and they had naturally left behind many means of the Invincible powerhouses. This was why no one had dared to provoke the descendants of Invincibles since the establishment of the Ancient Village.
If the Ancient Village had no intention of dominating the world, it would have long ago become the most powerful force in the world today.
Of course, if that were the case, the Ancient Village would probably not have survived. The mysterious force that secretly dealt with the invincible families in ancient times had not yet revealed its tracks.
A trace of worry flashed across Yue E's face. She was not worried about the village, but about Li Xiaotian.
He was alone, and had only just broken through to the Heaven-grade. Although his combat power could rival that of a mid-stage Heaven-grade, he was too weak against his enemies.
