After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

Zhou Yi kicked the two men right in front of the cucumber and said:

"Keep an eye on them, they'll be useful later."

it works?

Zhu Anshi, the patriarch of the Underworld Clan, sneered inwardly.

It's just that he can't kill himself, so he's looking for a nice-sounding excuse.

"okay!"

Si Xuan grabbed the two by the collar and retreated to a corner of the square.

He didn't care what use it was; if His Highness ordered him to guard it, he would guard it properly.

Si Xuan patted Zhu Anshi's face with the scabbard and muttered in confusion:

"You two are complete idiots. Knowing you can't win, why did you still insist on being reborn here?"

Both of them had been killed once before by the two generals.

Since they are no match for each other, wouldn't it be a better choice to be reborn somewhere else?

Zhu Anshi, the patriarch of the Underworld Clan, glared angrily at the cucumber, then simply closed his eyes.

Two top-tier semi-immortals were actually humiliated by a grandmaster.

The frustration they felt was so intense that it nearly made them explode with anger.

Not to mention that they are unable to speak.

Even if they could speak, neither of them would answer.

"Where they are reborn is not up to them to decide." A playful smile flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes.

"you……"

The two prisoners suddenly opened their eyes and looked at Zhou Yi in surprise.

Then, he closed his eyes helplessly.

The Imperial Grandson is truly too strange.

He guessed this top secret on the first try.

I really hope someone from behind the scenes steps in and slaps him to death.

If he takes over the dynasty in the future, cultivators in the world will have no way to survive.

……

The Underworld Clan.

The bottomless abyss, like a sinkhole, suddenly trembled violently.

Lava, as hot as fire, gushed forth from the ground.

A strong and tall figure, shrouded in black mist, leaped out.

"Roar--"

The Underworld Emperor roared to the heavens: "I have returned!"

Looking around, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

He dodged and blocked a ten-man patrol team.

After annihilating the Underworld Clan, the imperial army has returned to the capital.

Only a small number of soldiers were left to garrison the area.

The Underworld Emperor reached out and grabbed the leading soldier by the throat, lifting him off the ground, and asked angrily:

"Where are the people of the Underworld?"

"They were... wiped out by the imperial court."

With his neck gripped, the soldier leader had difficulty speaking and answered with difficulty.

The other soldiers scattered, pointing their spears at the Underworld Emperor, and threatened:

"We are the imperial army on the western expedition! Release the hostages immediately!"

"otherwise……"

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Before they could finish speaking, they exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

The others turned pale, dropped their spears, and knelt on the ground.

The Underworld Emperor's face grew increasingly grim, and he roared:

Where is the skull altar here?

He seemed more concerned about the skull altar than the annihilation of the Underworld race.

Several soldiers answered tremblingly:

"It should be His Highness Prince Yi and his entourage..."

When they stormed the Underworld, the Skull Altar was no longer there.

Before this, only Zhou Yi's group had come in.

"Zhou Yi?"

With a wave of his hand, the remaining soldiers were all blown into a bloody mist.

He was furious and roared towards the direction of the imperial city:

"I, the Emperor, will make you wish you were never born!"

After the seal was broken, he had already restored his cultivation to the Lesser Completion of the Nascent Soul Realm at the bottom of the abyss.

Having been drained of its magical power by the dragon vein for three thousand years, it is now severely depleted.

To return to the perfect state of the Divine Transformation Realm and become the strongest terrestrial immortal.

It requires a massive amount of spiritual energy, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.

The Lesser Completion Realm, although less than a third of the cultivation level at its peak.

However, that's enough to make you feel invincible.

After all, that's what I'm saying.

Even if a cultivator from later generations were to immediately break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

He's just a novice who's only recently become a terrestrial immortal.

With Emperor Ji dead, who can rival him and Emperor Ba?

That Zhou Yi actually dared to steal the Netherworld Clan's most precious treasure.

The Underworld Emperor snorted coldly, "I'll go and make you pay."

"We will settle all our scores with the Zhou family!"

After saying that, he vanished from the spot.

……

Blackwood Cliff.

On the Wuji Palace Square, a group of half-immortals at the peak of the Celestial Realm were closing their eyes to break through.

Sudden.

A terrifying aura, chilling to the bone, once again emanated from underground.

Everyone gave a wry smile and could only hurriedly exit their cultivation state.

A figure in a bright red palace robe appeared instantly in the square.

Behind the bright and alluring Ji Yu stood the towering, domineering Heavenly Emperor.

"Yu Ji, you're practically a celestial being now!"

The Overlord Emperor pulled Ji Yu into his arms and laughed heartily, "I will help you become a terrestrial immortal sooner or later."

Only then did the Grandmasters and Half-Immortals of the Immortal Alliance realize this.

Ji Yu has actually advanced to the Celestial Realm.

The Overlord Emperor was a terrestrial deity whom he revered.

Ji Yu swayed her shoulders, trying to break free from the Emperor Batian's embrace.

Unfortunately, the opponent's cultivation was too strong, and the restraints were too tight.

Actually.

In such a short time, the Overlord Emperor's Nascent Soul Realm cultivation also only recovered to the minor completion level.

It would take too long to recover to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Having been sealed away for three thousand years, he wanted to vent the pent-up frustration in his heart.

After all, a terrestrial immortal at the Lesser Completion stage is enough to sweep across the world.

"I must first go to the capital to resolve the conflict with the Zhou family."

The Overlord Emperor glanced at Ji Yu and said tenderly, "You will stay here and be your alliance leader."

"No, I want to go too!" Ji Yu said instinctively.

Even though he was the leader of the Immortal Alliance and had advanced to the level of a half-immortal, he still regarded himself as a member of the imperial court.

Previously, he dared not leave Blackwood Cliff to rush to the imperial city to assist in the battle.

That's because a large number of grandmasters and celestial beings are being held captive here.

The greatest support for the court is to retain them.

now.

With the Heavenly Emperor, a terrestrial deity, backing them up, they probably wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Moreover, the fact that the Overlord Emperor is going to the Imperial City suggests that he may be about to start a war with the royal family.

If he were there, he might be able to mediate the situation.

"Okay, let's go!"

As soon as the Overlord Emperor finished speaking, he and Ji Yu disappeared together.

The experts from various factions looked at each other, and could only shake their heads with wry smiles.

Ji Yu has a powerful patron, the Grandson of the Emperor, which is terrifying enough.

Now, the Overlord Emperor is actually treating him with such arrogance.

How could they dare to disobey Ji Yu?

"Sigh! Let's keep pushing forward."

Someone sighed softly.

Once you advance to the level of a terrestrial immortal, you'll speak with much more confidence.

……

In front of the palace gate.

Huo Wubing and Wei Qing slowly opened their eyes and stood up one after the other.

The two exchanged a glance, and from the excited look in each other's eyes, they already guessed the outcome.

"Breakthrough?"

"Breakthrough!"

"Land God!"

"Hahaha……"

The two of them laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

A decades-long dream has finally come true today.

Now, they are already terrestrial immortals.

Lifespan is increased to three thousand years.

They glanced at Zhu Anshi and the Netherworld Ancestor, who were being held captive by Si Xuan, and then looked at Zhou Yi.

His eyes were filled with gratitude.

If Zhou Yi hadn't taken on two enemies, how could they have broken through so quickly?

If you miss the opportunity, it's hard to say when you'll have another chance.

The two looked up at the distant horizon.

Two astonishing auras were rapidly approaching.

A powerful enemy is on its way.

On the palace wall, the Empress slowly opened her eyes.

A hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

He actually broke through to the Celestial Realm and became a half-immortal.

Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible for him to break through with his current level of experience.

However, with the seal on the dragon vein broken, the rules of heaven and earth loosened.

He succeeded by sheer luck.

He glanced at the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince, who were sitting cross-legged.

The two were breathing heavily, looking as if they were about to fail in their breakthrough.

A moment's hesitation.

The Empress picked up the imperial seal and hooked it with two fingers.

The second prince and the sixth prince each released a drop of their heart's blood, which was absorbed by the imperial seal.

Then, Empress Wu held the imperial seal in both hands.

As the Crown Prince who oversees the state, he bestows upon the two princes a trace of the dragon's power.

The two princes felt a surge of energy, as if an overwhelming fortune had been bestowed upon them.

This is the fate of the nation!

Their auras surged, and the two princes subsequently broke through to the Celestial Realm.

The two slowly opened their eyes.

His eyes couldn't hide his joy.

"Father, it's done!"

The two excitedly reported the good news to Emperor Wu, and then their gazes turned to Zhou Yi.

The gratitude in his eyes was undisguised.

It was because he fought against two enemies alone that everyone had the opportunity to break through.

There was no time to express my gratitude.

Everyone's gaze turned to the sky.

A figure appeared in the east and a figure in the west.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived above the palace.

No, it was two figures coming from the east.

—The Overlord Emperor, Ji Yu.

The one from the West is naturally the Underworld Emperor.

"Zhou Yi, you brat, return this imperial treasure!"

Before the Emperor of the Underworld arrived, his roar preceded his arrival.
