All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"Hahaha, well said. You don't know any rules at all, running around on other people's turf and acting all high and mighty. What do you think you are?"

Before the people from Qiong Yao Holy Land could speak, a loud laugh rang out.

A group of people from the horizon arrived together, their energy soaring to the heavens.

"Blood Refining Demon Sect?"

Upon seeing these people, the members of Qiong Yao's faction darkened, their eyes filled with resentment. Clearly, there had been many disputes between the two factions.

"That's right, fellow Daoists from the Qiongyao Holy Land, you are far too ignorant!"

"We are guests from afar, and we should follow the host's lead. How can we be so arrogant?"

Another laugh rang out, and hundreds of sword lights shot straight into the sky.

"Ten Thousand Sword Sect?"

The members of Qiong Yao's faction frowned, their eyes showing displeasure.

"Fellow Daoist Haoran, it's been a century since we last met. Your fiery temper hasn't changed, and you're still as arrogant as ever!"

Just then, another group of people flew over, instantly turning Ye Haoran's face to the extreme cold.

"You treacherous scoundrels, you've come to join the fun too?"

Facing this group of people, Ye Haoran's killing intent reached its peak!

"What, can't we come?"

"Does Fellow Daoist Haoran have a few more moves planned?"

Among the group of people, an old man chuckled.

"Just fight, who is afraid of whom?"

"Brother Haoran, I'm here to help you!"

A cold voice rang out, and then celestial beings descended from the heavens, a group of extremely beautiful women arriving together.

One of the women in colorful clothes flew to Ye Haoran's side, her eyes sparkling with affection as she looked at him with genuine emotion.

"Hehehe, so it's the Butterfly Fairy from Tranquil Valley. I just realized I haven't finished my morning reading yet, so I'll take my leave now!"

Ye Haoran tensed up, then left with an embarrassed smile, as if fleeing the place.

"Ye Haoran, you've been using the same excuse for four hundred years. Do you really think you're still a student of Haoran Palace?"

The butterfly fairy stomped her feet in anger and shouted loudly.

Ye Haoran ignored her and disappeared into the horizon in an instant, leaving everyone below dumbfounded.

"Hahaha, the rumors are indeed true. In this world, only Fairy Rainbow Butterfly can make Fellow Daoist Haoran retreat!"

Another burst of laughter rang out; the people from Xuyun Peak had arrived.

At the same time, troops from the two great holy dynasties of Yuan and Tang also arrived!

In a short while, the powerful figures from the seven holy lands of Jixia Academy, Qingyou Valley, Xuyun Peak, Taichu Holy Land, Qiongyao Sect, Wanjian Sect, and Xuelian Demon Sect, as well as the four holy dynasties, all gathered here, making it a truly grand scene!

"Oh dear, I was unaware of the arrival of esteemed elders from the sacred lands. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly. Please, all of you from the Daoist Palace, invite me in!"

The Supreme Daoist Temple had been opened, and Murong Xiao had long anticipated this day. He immediately flew over and greeted them with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind! We are guests from afar and have caused you much trouble. Please forgive us!"

These powerful figures from holy lands are usually arrogant and domineering; how could they possibly take a mere branch of an academy seriously?

Today, despite the gathering of heroes, no one took the lead in stirring up trouble; instead, the atmosphere was remarkably peaceful.

Under Murong Xiao's warm hospitality, even the people from Qiong Yao Holy Land obediently came to the Dao Wen Palace to wait.

Zhou Hai of the Daozang Palace acted as if he hadn't seen anything about it.

Read books when you should read books, and do whatever you should do.

In any case, all these people were discussing was nothing more than the Supreme Dojo.

Anyone can go into that secret realm if they want, but he'd rather die than go in unless those people come out alive.

"Ding: Your second disciple is in mortal danger. A protection mission has been activated. Please proceed to protect him immediately!"

However, just as Zhou Hai lay down, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"what's the situation?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Zhou Hai's eyes.

Even disregarding the numerous treasures Qin Xiyao possessed, she shouldn't have encountered any danger given the presence of the academy elders and disciples around her.

How could it possibly endanger a life?

Without hesitation, Zhou Hai activated the Emperor's Corner Teleportation Array, tearing through the void, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, Zhou Hai was bewildered.

"What is this place?"

Zhou Hai came following the system's instructions. But all around him was a hazy gray, and he smelled a scent different from that of the Northern Wilderness.

This place seems to be far removed from the Northern Wilderness, and it's no longer the same world it once was.

What lay beneath Zhou Hai's feet was a desolate desert.

Suddenly, the desert seemed to come alive, and all the sand surged towards him like a tidal wave.

Zhou Hai's expression changed slightly, and he tried to take off, but the moment he leaped up, an endless gravity struck him, as if he were carrying an endless mountain on his back, and he was forced back down.

In an instant, the desert turned into a sea, engulfing him!

"what happened?"

Zhou Hai's face turned grim. Without a second thought, he activated a Saint Experience Card. Saintly energy swirled around him, and a phantom world appeared, enveloping him within it.

This is his world of saints, in which he is an invincible being, a true god.

However, just as he was about to unleash the power of the world to break through the desert sea, a violent force struck, and the entire desert instantly transformed into a ferocious behemoth.

"Boom boom boom..."

Explosions rang out one after another, and Zhou Hai's saintly world collapsed instantly.

"puff……"

The backlash struck, and Zhou Hai spat out a mouthful of blood, nearly killing him.

However, as soon as the world of saints shattered, that violent power also disappeared.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

Zhou Hai was stunned.

The Saint Experience Card was his trump card for survival. But instead of saving him, it nearly cost him his life.

Where can I reason from this?

Realizing what was happening, Zhou Hai raised his hand and waved it, instantly conjuring nine beams of light. The Immortal Execution Sword, the God-Slaying Whip, the Soul-Suppressing Tower… and nine other imperial artifacts swirled around him!

"Nine Imperial Weapons!"

"What a great handwriting!"

The moment these things appeared, a cold voice rang in Zhou Hai's ears.

The next moment, endless dark light burst forth from the desolate sea, instantly sealing off the nine imperial artifacts.

"Buzzing..."

The nine imperial artifacts shone brightly, and the laws of the imperial way tore through heaven and earth.

On the nine imperial artifacts, the heavens and the universe are revealed! Ragnarok, the fall of the gods! A tidal wave of ghosts, suppressed by pagodas! Chains seal the heavens, locking down the universe…

Various celestial phenomena appeared, instantly opening up endless space for Zhou Hai, as if it were the Big Bang.

Looking around, Zhou Hai felt as if he had become the center of the entire universe.

However, the desert sea did not disappear; it was merely expanded.

Beyond billions of miles of space, the desolate sea seemed to have been angered by the nine imperial artifacts, transforming into endless laws that suppressed all the heavens and surged overwhelmingly towards Zhou Hai.

"Damn it, the Imperial Law?"

"What the hell is this place?"

Zhou Hai felt a chill run down his spine, only now truly realizing the terror of this desolate sea. It was actually a manifestation of the laws of a Great Emperor.

While the Nine Imperial Weapons are powerful, their strength depends on the opponent. The power of this Desert Sea is no less than that of the Nine Imperial Weapons.

"The vast desert sands?"

"I will fight you!"

A roar resounded, and from among the nine imperial artifacts, a chain shot up, revealing the phantom of a withered old man.

He rubbed his wrist, his eyes cloudy, yet in an instant they shone with boundless light.

The powerful imperial laws soared straight to the heavens, and the chains instantly extended for billions of miles, sealing off the heavens and earth, and swirling up all the quicksand, locking it within.

"The Heaven-Sealing Emperor, his chains seal the heavens—that's all there is to it!"

A chilling voice rang out, and the figure of a black-haired man appeared on the quicksand. The endless quicksand instantly scattered, sweeping back against the Heaven-Sealing Chains!

The two imperial artifacts were locked in a fierce battle, their imperial laws intertwined, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the battle to escalate.
