"Boom."
The Azure Firmament Great Emperor suddenly unleashed his aura.
Like a raging dragon rolling, his energy churned the void.
The Azure Firmament Great Emperor's sudden change startled everyone.
"What happened?"
Others dared not ask, but the other four who were also Seventh-Order Great Emperors could.
Especially Ni Xiao, who looked at Azure Firmament with confusion.
The Azure Firmament Great Emperor's face was incredibly grim: "The Great Dao in the Azure Firmament Realm is in turmoil."
"What?"
Ni Xiao and the others were all shocked.
The Azure Firmament Realm... the Great Dao in turmoil?
"How is this possible?"
Another Seventh-Order Great Emperor, from the Cloud Firmament Great World.
This person was a female Great Emperor, her eyebrows furrowed as she said solemnly, "Could someone have attacked the Divine Firmament Domain?"
"Impossible."
This statement was immediately refuted by others.
It was impossible for anyone to attack the Divine Firmament Domain.
In this chaotic region, only the other three Eighth-Order Great Worlds could achieve such a feat.
But why would the other three domains attack the Divine Firmament Domain?
"I need to go back and see." The Azure Firmament Great Emperor's face was grave.
In the Azure Firmament Great World, he was the only Seventh-Order cultivator.
If the Great Dao could not be suppressed in time, it would be a catastrophe for the Divine Firmament Realm.
The Cloud Firmament Great Emperor and the others also frowned.
Although they didn't know what had happened in the Azure Firmament Realm, if the Great Dao of the Azure Firmament Realm was in turmoil, what about the Cloud Firmament Realm? The Violet Firmament Realm?
Ni Xiao's brows knitted.
After a moment of thought, he said, "Everyone, please remain calm. The Great Dao of the Azure Firmament Realm is in turmoil. Fellow Daoist Azure Firmament can return. As for the others... don't rush. Let me send a message to the Divine Firmament Realm and dispatch someone to investigate first."
"I'm going back first."
The Azure Firmament Great Emperor did not want to wait and turned to leave.
Ni Xiao wanted to say something, but Azure Firmament completely ignored him.
As fellow Seventh-Order cultivators, even though Ni Xiao came from an Eighth-Order Great World, he was not qualified to dictate to Azure Firmament.
The Divine Firmament Domain was a relationship of alliance, not subordination.
"Alas."
Ni Xiao sighed and said, "Others, please wait a moment..."
As he spoke, a trace of Divine Firmament Great Dao power spread out, the waves rippled, and quickly returned to the Divine Firmament Realm.
In the distant Divine Firmament Realm, a Fifth-Order Heavenly Emperor emerged and descended upon the Azure Firmament Realm.
In just a moment, the Fifth-Order Heavenly Emperor emerged.
And at this moment, Ni Xiao, far at the edge of the void, also received the news.
"Interesting."
A smile appeared on Ni Xiao's face.
This smile carried a hint of slyness no matter how one looked at it.
"Fellow Daoist Ni Xiao..." Cloud Firmament and the others pressed.
"Ahem."
Ni Xiao composed himself and chuckled, "It's nothing major. A Fourth-Order Heavenly Emperor secretly killed a Sixth-Order patrol envoy from the Azure Firmament Realm, and then King Liu chased after him..."
Ni Xiao narrated the events to the others.
For a moment, everyone's expressions were rather colorful.
"Azure Firmament Realm... Heh..."
The Violet Firmament Great Emperor sneered, "Among the five high-level worlds in the Divine Firmament Domain, only the Azure Firmament Realm has one Great Emperor. Their strength... is a bit weak."
The Divine Firmament Domain had five high-level worlds.
Divine Firmament, Azure Firmament, Cloud Firmament, Violet Firmament, Crimson Firmament...
Except for Azure Firmament, the other great worlds had two Great Emperors. Of course, the Divine Firmament Great World had even more.
Although they did not show it on weekdays, they all looked down on the Azure Firmament Realm.
A single mission outside had left the Azure Firmament Great World empty.
If it were the Cloud Firmament or other great worlds, the Seventh-Order Great Emperors stationed within could handle any trouble.
"Let's go."
Knowing the reason, the others had no need to linger.
The team continued to advance.
Suppressing the prisoners of the Heavenly Pillar was something the Divine Firmament Domain had to do. It was no big deal for one Great Emperor to leave.
Everyone continued to advance.
...
And at this moment.
The Azure Firmament Great Emperor was rushing with all his might towards the Divine Firmament Domain.
The journey that took ten days to go took only three days to return.
Approaching the Divine Firmament Domain, the Azure Firmament Great Emperor immediately channeled the power of the Great Dao.
"Hum."
The turbulent Great Dao power spread.
As the Realm Master, he could instantly arrive anywhere covered by the Great Dao universe.
Azure Firmament vanished from his spot, and in the next moment, he appeared in the Azure Firmament Great World.
Boom.
The Realm Master returned, floating in the air.
His gaze was filled with overwhelming killing intent.
He cast a cold glance at the two from Fu City. In his perception, Yan Bo's aura had completely vanished, and his Great Dao had collapsed.
As for King Liu, her aura was weakened to the extreme.
Although she had not yet perished, she was close.
"Hmph."
A cold snort made the faces of the two from Fu City turn pale.
But fortunately, the Azure Firmament Realm Master had no time to deal with them now.
The Great Dao universe opened, and the Azure Firmament Realm Master directly entered.
Rumble.
The interwoven web of Dao had a large section missing.
Every Dao in this great web was crucial to the Azure Firmament Realm.
Now that a part was missing, the balance was broken, which was also the reason for the turmoil in the Great Dao universe.
"Suppress."
The Azure Firmament Realm Master directly entered.
He transformed into the Dao net, suppressing the turbulent Great Dao universe.
"Whoosh."
Below, the two Heavenly Emperors from Fu City finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the Realm Master had returned.
The turbulent Great Dao recovered.
Soon...
The Azure Firmament Realm Master emerged from the Great Dao universe.
His icy gaze seemed to want to kill.
The two from Fu City were startled and quickly bowed, "Greetings, Realm Master."
"Explain."
"Yes."
The two from Fu City narrated the entire incident.
"It was him?"
After Fu City finished speaking, Azure Firmament understood who the other party was.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Good, I'll be waiting for you to seek revenge..."
After speaking, he looked towards the golden palace.
King Liu was inside.
"Hmph."
Although displeased in his heart, the Azure Firmament Realm Master decided to save her.
Great Dao power converged, and the Azure Firmament Divine appeared.
"Rise."
Great Dao power surged into the golden willow's body.
When she was weak, King Liu had saved Azure Firmament's life more than once.
This was a debt of gratitude.
Azure Firmament always remembered it.
The Great Dao converged, and King Liu's scattered Great Dao slowly reassembled.
"Come."
The Azure Firmament Realm Master drew power from the Azure Firmament Realm's Great Dao universe to replenish King Liu's Dao.
Slowly... King Liu's Great Dao was finally reassembled.
"Mmm."
King Liu reappeared, letting out a soft murmur.
She was King Liu, the female King Liu.
With a whimper, she opened her eyes.
She saw the Realm Master, a man with an icy gaze, standing in mid-air.
"Realm Master."
King Liu's eyes held a hint of tears.
In front of this man, she never pretended to be strong.
"Alas."
The Azure Firmament Realm Master sighed.
Although there was disappointment in his eyes, there was more... confusion.
"Although I am the Realm Master, this Azure Firmament Realm is not mine alone."
"I understand."
King Liu lowered her head.
"Therefore, you need to pay a price."
"Mm."
There was no blame, no resentment.
As the Realm Master, Azure Firmament had to be responsible for the entire Azure Firmament Realm.
"Go."
The Azure Firmament Realm Master spoke, "Three Sixth-Order Heavenly Emperors will compensate for today's losses."
"Yes."
King Liu turned and left.
This was the rule of the Azure Firmament Realm, the law of the Azure Firmament Realm Master.
If anyone else had made such a grave mistake, they would have already been killed by the Azure Firmament Realm Master as a sacrifice.
The moment King Liu turned to leave, an image entered the Azure Firmament Realm Master's mind.
It was left by King Liu.
Her failure, the Azure Firmament Realm Master needed to know.
