1496: Chapter 1496: The Fall of the Great Daoist 1496: Chapter 1496: The Fall of the Great Daoist “Northern Universe Great Venerable, this chap is still as ignorant as ever.”
Su Emperor said softly, seemingly with prior encounters with the Northern Universe Great Venerable, his tone laden with scorn.
Zhao Yun lets out a cold snort, saying, “A mere jumping clown, let him have a journey of no return!”
Qin Jun wasn’t too worried either; not to mention Su Emperor, Zhao Yun alone was capable of crushing the Northern Universe Great Venerable with a flip of his palm, and Li Bai could perfectly contend with Wují Grand Sovereign.
Unconsciously, in his eyes, the Wují Grand Sovereign also became an existence as insignificant as an ant.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh…
Ji Haoye, Xuandang, Sun Wukong, Ji Qiankun, Huo Kong, and others rose into the sky one after another, looking at the twisting heavens, their eyes full of dread.
The aura emanated by the Northern Universe Great Venerable sent shivers down their spines.
All the disciples of the Huo Family and the guests who had not left yet caused a huge commotion, buzzing with discussions.
“Is that voice the Northern Universe Great Venerable?”
“Definitely him, there are only a handful of powerhouses with such momentum in the world today.”
“Having withstood Heavenly Venerable Xiao, who would have thought the Huo Family would face an even stronger Northern Universe Great Venerable.”
“With the Heavenly Emperor here, what does the Huo Family have to fear from the Northern Universe Great Venerable?”
“That’s not necessarily true, the Northern Universe Great Venerable is stronger than Heavenly Venerable Xiao!”
Accompanied by the earth-shaking hubbub, the horizon directly opposite Family Master Island lit up with a rainbow glow, as if something was trying to break through the spatial barrier and burst in.
“Be cautious, this fella’s cultivation has surpassed the late stage of Wují Grand Sovereign!”
Li Bai appeared in front of Ji Haoye and the others, speaking in a heavy voice.
At these words, Ji Haoye, Sun Wukong, and the others felt their scalps go numb.
Just the mid-stage Wují Grand Sovereign, Dugu Tianzong, was already something they couldn’t handle, let alone the Northern Universe Great Venerable, who had surpassed the late stage of Wují Grand Sovereign?
Soon, the Northern Universe Great Venerable appeared, clad in a loose blue robe, his face appearing just over forty, with a robust physique, long hair coiled behind his head, a pair of deep purple eyes, and brows furrowed like knife blades, his face full of murderous intent!
When he learned that the envoy he sent to the Huo Family had been killed, he was uncontrollably furious.
Although that envoy was of minor status within the Northern Universe Sect, he still represented the sect.
He came in person because he heard that the Huo Family was protected by the Heavenly Emperor.
About the Heavenly Emperor, he had also heard many legends, but he didn’t hold any reverence.
“Where is the Heavenly Emperor, come out at once!”
The Northern Universe Great Venerable huffed coldly, having gathered plenty of information before coming; the strongest under the Heavenly Emperor’s command were Li Bai, the Green Lotus Sword Immortal, followed by Ji Haoye.
That’s the very reason he dared to come!
To step over the Heavenly Emperor would surely grandify the Northern Universe Great Venerable.
“Northern Universe old dog!
Stop your rampant behavior!”
Ji Haoye gritted his teeth as he spoke, charging towards the Northern Universe Great Venerable.
At that moment, the Northern Universe Great Venerable suddenly vanished from his spot, causing Ji Haoye to lunge at thin air.
The next second, the Northern Universe Great Venerable appeared in front of the stone pavilion, kneeling beside Su Emperor, while Su Emperor’s right hand was pressed on his head, rendering him immobile.
“This…”
Shock and horror surged in the heart of the Northern Universe Great Venerable, wanting to get up, but he felt his body pressed down by an irresistible terrifying force.
In the face of this power, he could only feel an overwhelming sense of powerlessness and horror.
Zhao Yun looked at Su Emperor with a face full of wariness; he did not even see how Su Emperor had made his move.
Qin Jun was expressionless, but his heart was filled with emotions.
This was an Invincible Grand Sovereign at the peak of Wují, kneeling before Su Emperor like a dog.
Su Emperor gently stroked the Northern Universe Great Venerable’s head as if petting an animal, causing him to tremble in fear.
Ji Haoye turned around, and so did Sun Wukong, Li Bai, and the others; at one glance, they saw Su Emperor pressing down on the Northern Universe Great Venerable.
Their eyes widened in shock from the intense impact of the scene.
The previously invincible Northern Universe Great Venerable in an instant knelt in subjugation?
Looking at the expression of the Northern Universe Great Venerable, it was clear it was not voluntary.
At this moment, a light curtain suddenly enveloped the stone pavilion, preventing all beings from witnessing what was happening inside.
“Where is the Northern Universe Great Venerable?”
“It seems like someone has been captured…”
“How is that possible!
That’s the Northern Universe Grand Venerable!”
“Let’s just wait and see; I think the Huo Family is doomed!”
“A showdown between the Heavenly Emperor and the Northern Universe Grand Venerable, this will be a spectacle to watch.
Lucky I didn’t leave too early!”
The guests were bursting with excitement.
Whether it was the Heavenly Emperor or the Northern Universe Grand Venerable, both were legendary figures of immense power that they admired.
Inside the stone pavilion.
The Northern Universe Grand Venerable was overwhelmed by fear and despair.
He had never encountered such a situation before, his body unable to move, his soul unable to leave his body, as if he were a puppet.
What was crucial was that he couldn’t see Su Emperor’s appearance, yet the aura felt eerily familiar, familiar enough to strike fear into his heart.
Could it be…
Impossible…
He has already fallen into demonic ways…
The more the Northern Universe Grand Venerable thought, the more terrified he became, with large beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
“Didn’t you come to seek justice from Us?”
Qin Jun chuckled lightly and, while speaking, splashed the wine in his hand onto the face of the Northern Universe Grand Venerable.
The Northern Universe Grand Venerable, doused like a drowned chicken, felt no anger, only endless terror.
He said trembling, “This Venerable…
I…
was wrong…”
“Wrong?”
Su Emperor spoke, and as soon as his voice was heard, the Northern Universe Grand Venerable shuddered violently, bowing his head and his eyes filled with fear and despair.
“How is it you…
why…”
The Northern Universe Grand Venerable began to tremble, his tongue tying in knots.
“Kowtow!”
Su Emperor said indifferently, slowly retracting his right hand.
The Northern Universe Grand Venerable instinctively raised his head.
As soon as he saw Su Emperor’s face, he was so frightened that his soul nearly shattered.
It was indeed the Su Emperor!
Without a second thought, the Northern Universe Grand Venerable began kowtowing to Su Emperor, with such force that the entire Family Master Island shook violently.
“You also need to kowtow to the Heavenly Emperor.” Su Emperor picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and continued speaking, barely glancing at the Northern Universe Grand Venerable.
Upon hearing this, the Northern Universe Grand Venerable hurriedly turned and began kowtowing to Qin Jun, without any hesitation, no longer resembling the lord of the Northern Universe Dao Sect.
“Mm, you may now die.”
Su Emperor set down his wine cup and spoke quietly.
At these words, the Northern Universe Grand Venerable hurriedly looked up, about to plead for mercy.
At that moment, a fiery bird flew out of Su Emperor’s eyes and quickly burrowed into the forehead of the Northern Universe Grand Venerable.
“Eh…”
The Northern Universe Grand Venerable’s body stiffened, his face frozen in terror.
Immediately after, his body was engulfed in fierce flames and was reduced to ashes within two breaths’ time, scattering in the wind.
Qin Jun watched with a slight frown, Zhao Yun’s hands on his knees clenched into fists, his face covered in cold sweat.
A supreme and complete ruler of the Wují level had just died like that…
He died without a chance to resist, silently and without any fuss.
Su Emperor picked up his wine cup and gestured toward Zhao Yun, indicating for him to pour the wine.
Zhao Yun snapped out of his shock and hurried to pour the wine, his hands trembling.
Qin Jun propped up his chin, looking at Su Emperor with keen interest and asked, “What is your true form?
Was that firebird a Golden Crow?”
Su Emperor glanced at Qin Jun and said, “Do you really want to know?”
“Why else would I ask you?” Qin Jun rolled his eyes.
Both men didn’t take the death of the Northern Universe Grand Venerable seriously, as if not a great being had perished, but merely an insect.
