Chapter 312: Chapter 312: I Advise You Not to Mess Around
In life, she never met an equal; in death, a horde of demons danced.
This was likely a true depiction of Guang Xiaoyu.
She looked at Jin Yi, a smile brimming with meaning on her face. Jin Yi possessed a Heavenly Spirit Body, a very powerful constitution that allowed her to easily control nature’s spiritual energy and transform it into her own strength.
This meant that as long as she stood there, the ten directions of heaven and earth were her domain, which could also be understood as an extension of her Dantian.
However, in her prime, she could suppress such a constitution with a mere gesture.
"’The Demon Art that enchants the heart is, after all, just a cultivation method that shuns the light,’ Guang Xiaoyu said, taking step after step towards Jin Yi.
Many were surprised by this woman who had suddenly appeared.
Chen Pingping’s junior sister?
So, she’s also from the Heaven Martial Continent?
Listening to her, her tone was quite bold!
At this moment, Emperor Tian climbed out from the deep pit, his eyes opening as he prepared to unleash his fury, but he froze upon seeing Guang Xiaoyu’s figure.
"’Go back. This has nothing to do with you,’ Guang Xiaoyu ordered, pointing at him.
Emperor Tian froze, his instincts screaming at him to flee. However, just as he was about to turn, he remembered—this was his battlefield.
His face darkened. ’Are you telling me what to do?’
He had to admit, Guang Xiaoyu was indeed powerful and enigmatic, but this was, after all, his battlefield—the Spirit Realm, the territory of the Purple Gold Divine Clan, not the Heaven Martial Continent.
BANG!
Without another word, Emperor Tian’s gaze grew cold as he activated the Bloodline Power within him. At this moment, a phantom emerged from between his eyebrows, hovering in the sky as it began to recite a scripture.
This was the Emperor Scripture.
The spectating cultivators held their breath, their eyes glued to Emperor Tian.
Even Chen Pingping was dumbfounded for a moment, in disbelief.
PFFT!
Guang Xiaoyu suppressed a laugh. ’Lingyun Emperor’s Emperor Scripture? It’s known as the weakest of them all. It doesn’t enhance combat power, nor does it improve one’s personal state, and it has nothing to do with Divine Sense. It audaciously claims to be a Great Tao beyond the Three Thousand existing Great Daos, separate from the Heavenly Dao, constantly boasting about forging a path outside of it. In reality, it’s just a sham. Throughout millions of years of cultivation, countless invincible Great Emperors have emerged. If they could truly transcend, they would have done so long ago.’
Emperor Tian: "???"
"’There’s a huge problem with your Emperor Scripture. I’d advise you not to activate it, if you’re wise,’ Guang Xiaoyu said with a giggle.
"’Why?’ Emperor Tian couldn’t help asking.
"’Cultivating it is fine, and building a foundation with it isn’t a major issue. But to use it in combat... HEHE...’ She grinned, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.
As if to verify Guang Xiaoyu’s words, the phantom that had emerged from between Emperor Tian’s eyebrows suddenly exploded.
The Emperor Scripture descended into chaos.
Emperor Tian’s expression changed drastically as he suffered a terrible backlash.
Guang Xiaoyu blinked and said, ’Alright. The Emperor Scripture has backfired. You’ve damaged your foundational bones, disrupted your Zhou Tian circulation, and even your Dantian has been extinguished. For a short while, you’ll have no combat power left.’
PFFT!
Emperor Tian was so enraged he spat out a mouthful of blood, his head buzzing. He had no idea what had just happened. Why did his perfectly fine Emperor Scripture suddenly explode?
This wasn’t the first time he had activated it!
"’Are you interfering with Emperor Tian’s activation of the Emperor Scripture?’ Jin Yi sharply perceived the issue, her golden pupils fixed intently on Guang Xiaoyu.
Her words sent a shockwave through the crowd.
Not far away, Emperor Tian’s eyes also snapped wide open.
Guang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes. ’If I had that kind of power, would I still be wasting my breath on you lot? Just for daring to attack my senior brother, this old lady—er, this young lady would have slapped you all to death long ago!’
As she said ’this old lady,’ she caught Chen Pingping’s eye from the corner of hers and tensed up involuntarily.
Huh? Why do I, this emperor, care so much?
She shrugged, turning her gaze to Jin Yi. ’The Heavenly Spirit Body is indeed powerful, but it also has many flaws.’
"’Such as?’ Jin Yi asked, taken aback. She hadn’t realized the topic had been so smoothly diverted.
"’For instance, in the face of absolutely overwhelming power, your Divine Body is meaningless. You wouldn’t even be able to struggle,’ Guang Xiaoyu said, still advancing. ’It’s both a strength and a weakness.’
The distance between the two women rapidly closed.
For some reason, Chen Pingping suddenly felt a surge of unease. And just as he feared, Guang Xiaoyu raised her hand, summoning the Tao Seed. It had now grown into a small tree, which hovered in her palm, emanating the Power of the Great Tao.
Strangely, this tree was black, and the light it emitted wasn’t sacred at all; instead, it was gloomy and terrifying.
The moment the tree appeared, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire battlefield, sealing the surrounding space as if it were a domain.
In such a situation, the Heavenly Spirit Body was rendered useless.
This was Guang Xiaoyu’s confidence.
Nearby, Chen Pingping’s expression changed drastically. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead as he rushed over in a few strides, quickly suppressing her tree.
Guang Xiaoyu: "???"
She was stunned.
Just moments ago, her senior brother had suppressed the blossoming of her Tao Seed with a single motion.
"’Alright, alright! There’s no need for you to act here. Quickly, get to the side!’ Chen Pingping exclaimed, startled. He thought, Good heavens! The Three Great Dynasties and the Purple Gold Divine Clan are all desperate to open a passage to the Heaven Martial Continent to seize the Tao Seed, and you just casually reveal it in a situation like this? What’s the difference between that and seeking death?
"’Senior Brother, I...’ Guang Xiaoyu began, her mouth slightly agape, still in shock. But Chen Pingping’s words made her forget to think...
Why should I move to the side? I’ve come here after so much effort just to show off this move, just to have you look at me! SOB! Damn it all!
Before she could argue, she was pushed aside by Chen Pingping.
But Jin Yi was even more astounded. The moment the Tao Seed blossomed, her Divine Body and her Tao techniques were utterly suppressed.
She couldn’t activate them at all.
Her breathing became rapid.
"’Let’s go!’ Chen Pingping declared, turning to face Jin Yi after ushering Guang Xiaoyu away.
However, Jin Yi was so intimidated by Guang Xiaoyu’s display that her heart was in turmoil. Only one thought echoed in her mind: I can’t fight her!
Even though Guang Xiaoyu had retreated from the battlefield, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t strike again.
This woman was different.
"’Are you going to fight or not?’ Chen Pingping demanded impatiently.
"’What are you waiting for? Kill him!’ Emperor Tian roared.
The backlash from the Emperor Scripture was terrifying, just as Guang Xiaoyu had said. He had no combat strength left; otherwise, he would have attacked already.
HEHE!
Guang Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes, watching Emperor Tian.
Emperor Tian flinched and hastily shut his mouth.
At this, Jin Yi also silently retreated from the battlefield. ’This is your battle with Emperor Tian,’ she stated.
She was decisive, turning and walking away without hesitation.
But her departure unsettled everyone. Emperor Tian was clearly outmatched. The Divine Body had stepped forward to fight, yet in the end, Jin Yi had withdrawn so decisively.
Why?
Many people noted a crucial detail: Jin Yi seemed to have withdrawn from the battlefield because of Guang Xiaoyu’s appearance.
Emperor Tian, too, had been repeatedly intimidated by Guang Xiaoyu—first turning to flee, then being silenced.
Who exactly was this young girl?
Mo Lai whispered, ’That tree just now... there’s something wrong with it.’
The battle between Chen Pingping and Emperor Tian should have been spectacular. However, the reality was the exact opposite. Emperor Tian was suppressed the entire time. The Divine Body had been on the verge of intervening, even stepping forward, only to retreat again.
Many powerful experts wore solemn expressions, all scrutinizing Guang Xiaoyu.
The upper echelons of the Purple Gold Divine Clan were furious. ’Jin Yi, what do you think you’re doing?!’
