“They are dead?” Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master felt his heart tremble. Extending his senses, indeed, he could not sense the karma of Chen Fu and the other two anymore.

‘What happened in the dream is real.’ Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master felt terrified. In that dream, all three of his subordinates died. And he died too! But now, he found out he was the only one left alive. Especially when he found out all the treasures he had with him were gone meant that the perpetrator could easily kill him.

One had to know that many treasures were refined by the cultivator. They could be concealed within a droplet of blood. Since the perpetrator could take all his treasures away, it was clear he had controlled the life of Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master.

The other party dealt simply with all three of his subordinates. This brought terror to Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master so much that he softened down onto the ground.

“Hurry up and inform my Grandmother. Tell her that I might die anytime!” Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master urged anxiously.

“Report to the City Master?” The cold old man felt puzzled. Why did Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master not inform her himself? But how would he know that all treasures Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master had were gone. Even his communication treasure was stolen.

“Hurry!”

Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master urged a second time.

“Yes.” The cold old man acknowledged.

Very soon.

“Hong~”

A terrifying aura soon descended, and a long white-haired beauty came in. She emitted an aura that felt like an endless world. Even though the cold old man was a Late Stage God Emperor, he still trembled with fear and trepidation currently because an existence like ‘Cloud Phoenix City Master’ could kill him and other Late Stage God Emperors with a single move. After all, the other party was a terrifying existence who had killed Grand Perfection God Emperors personally before. And in the entire God Emperor Ranking List, Cloud Phoenix City Master was the only one who could do so.

Of course, there were some Grand Perfection God Emperors like the Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform, ‘Hidden Willow Valley Master’ that Cloud Phoenix City Master could not deal with. Hidden Willow Valley Master was after all, a huge tree with a heaven-defying amount of life force. But Cloud Phoenix City Master could still give sufficient ‘pressure’ to the other party.

Beside Cloud Phoenix City Master followed a red-haired girl. This red-haired girl similarly had an extraordinary aura. She was an innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform with the strength of a Grand Perfection God Emperor, ‘God Emperor Fire Phoenix ‘. She and Cloud Phoenix City Master were like sisters.

“Cloud Flow, what happened?” Cloud Phoenix City Master looked at her grandson. Her voice became much gentler. As she looked at him, she thought of how both her children had died in the past.

“Everyone, retreat. Retreat at this moment.” Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master immediately roared.

At that juncture, everyone else in the hall left.

Only Cloud Phoenix City Master, God Emperor Fire Phoenix, and Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master were still in it.

“Grandmother, I almost died.” Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master said with terror.

“Oh? Tell me more.” Cloud Phoenix City Master frowned. Killing intent began leaking from her.

“Yes.” Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master began describing everything that had happened previously.

As Cloud Phoenix City Master listened to his story, she frowned: “The other party could send you into an illusory realm silently. You are after all, a Middle Stage God Emperor. The three strongest subordinates of yours that died are Middle Stage God Emperors too. But all of you are powerless against it! The souls of the other three have been exterminated… There are always people coming in and out of the Caged Cloud Pavilion. I even arranged for Late Stage God Emperors to guard this place, yet none of them have discovered any disturbances.”

“Illusory realm, silently and soundlessly.” God Emperor Fire Phoenix added from the side, “But I have never heard of anyone who could cast such powerful illusory realm. Cultivating the illusory realm is already very hard since it is considered a direction of the soul.”

“Mn.” Cloud Phoenix City Master nodded, “Firstly, a new expert who has reached unfathomable heights in the soul could have possibly emerge. Secondly, it could be a Native of the Divine Realm who grasped a powerful magical ability that specializes in this aspect through his bloodline? Thirdly, it could also possibly be a new innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform that came into our world. Perhaps this lifeform might be good at illusory realms.”

“No matter what, that person has the gall to enter my Cloud Phoenix City and deal against my grandson.” Cloud Phoenix City Master coldly uttered, “But at least he gave a warning and did not injure my son. In the future, I shall punish him severely before letting him go after that.”

While Cloud Phoenix City Master spoke, she waved her hand.

The surrounding time flow began reversing. Initially, everything that had happened before was projected. Nonetheless, when Xue Ying executed the illusory realm, that scene which had happened earlier did not show at all!

“I can’t reverse the time flow?”

Cloud Phoenix City Master sneered.

She waved her hand lightly, causing a mirror to condense out from the cloud. This mirror began showing everything that happened previously.

And what was shown on the mirror… within the hall, Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master, the female attendant and six sisters had all fallen deep asleep.

The door was pushed open.

And a white-robed young man who had a divine sword on his back walked in just like that. Several other people had similarly fallen outside the door. Of which included that God Emperor Chen Fu. When this white-robed young man entered, he waved his hand, causing all the treasures on Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master to fly ou and fall into his hands.

“Si la.” Following that, a black crack formed. That white-robed young man took a step in and disappeared from the vicinity.

“Mn?” Both Cloud Phoenix City Master and God Emperor Fire Phoenix were startled.

Even though the two of them were incredibly powerful, few in Divine Realm could execute an ultra-long distance teleportation.

“An illusory realm of unprecedented strength and ultra-long distance teleportation. Who exactly is he?” Cloud Phoenix City Master could feel an immense threat from this white-robed young man. At least if he planned on killing her grandson, she could do nothing about it at all. Since she could not help her grandson to block off the illusory realm.

“A white-robed young man with a divine sword? Who is he? There are no such person in the top few experts within the Divine Realm.” God Emperor Fire Phoenix felt puzzled, “Is he an Ascendant? Or a Native of the Divine Realm? Or an innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform?”

Even though the other party was in a humanoid shape, he could still be an innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

For instance, she, God Emperor Fire Phoenix , was an innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform that transformed into the shape of a human.

“Now you know.” Cloud Phoenix City Master looked at her grandson Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master, “I do not have the capability to help defend you against all enemies. This mysterious expert could easily and silently kill you. In the future, you should remember to restrict those subordinates of yours.”

“I know, I understand now.” Cloud Flow Little Pavilion Master immediately acknowledged. After this close shave with death, he did not dare to continue and indulge in everything that his subordinates were doing. Even though he did not care about the weak, he did not show any interest in killing either. What he liked was simply ‘enjoyment and pleasure’.

“Mn.”

Cloud Phoenix City Master felt her heart relaxing. The other party did not kill off her grandson. Clearly, he did not wish to form an enmity with her. Since he did not kill her grandson this time, as long as her grandson restricted his subordinates further, she believed the perpetrator would not kill him in the future too.

Perhaps it might be some sort of ‘awakening’ to her grandson too, allowing her grandson to understand that there it was still possible for his life to be threatened.

“But still, who exactly is he?” Even though Cloud Phoenix City Master did not feel any threat from him, she understood that this mysterious expert held a huge threat to many other God Emperors.

“Sister, with his strength, I doubt he will hide forever. Over time, his identity will eventually be revealed.” God Emperor Fire Phoenix chuckled, “By then, we can go and have some spar with him.”

…

Xue Ying had already returned to the Iron Dragon City.

‘I have finally gathered everything.’ Xue Ying looked forward to it. He had gathered both Dried Realm Leaf ahd Golden Lightning Chaotic Origin Bead. These items that were very helpful to the Natives of the Divine Realm were quite useless to him. Instead, it was that ‘Void Lineage’ innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform corpse that made him long for. Even though there were other innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms over at the Realm Heart Great Land too, there were too few of them, and not a single one of these lifeforms had a Void Lineage.

In this world, there were many more innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms yet only three of them had a Void Lineage.

Getting one was sufficient for his cause.

After all, that was a corpse with a Void Lineage… and an absolute majority of its body was the manifestation of the Dao of Void. This was unlike those Desolate Beasts. The body of an innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform was huge. Xue Ying had to analyze every single scale of it. Just analyzing through every single part of its body once would take an incredibly long amount of time. Hence, this corpse was the best object for him to research and deepen his understanding on the ‘Dao of Void’. It was much more precious than any other scriptures.

Iron Dragon Hall, before the entrance.

The protector saw that it was a white-robed male with a divine sword on his back who came, and could not help but be startled. Because not too long ago, this God Emperor Azure Cloud had just visited them.

“God Emperor Azure Cloud.” The protector asked, “Is there any reason why God Emperor is here again?”

“Please send the message that I want to meet the Crown Prince.” Xue Ying said.
