“Boss? What boss could they possibly have? Back then, the Xuantian Continent was beaten to pieces, and we didn't see any boss show up...”
“I think it's all rumors. The Xuantian Continent doesn't have any boss at all, let alone some powerful realm backing them up!”
The moment the body Big Yellow was occupying stopped speaking, the gold-robed man opposite him snorted coldly and retorted!
“Then why is it that during the Immortal Ancient era, when the Xuantian Continent was almost beaten down into a mortal realm, no one dared to destroy it?”
The owner of Big Yellow's body raised his eyes to look at his opponent, a sharp glint flashing in them as he asked in an unfriendly tone!
“There must have been other reasons. Xiaotian Emperor, I think you're only defending the Xuantian Continent because you ascended from there yourself!”
“You must realize that you are now a part of the Zichen Immortal Realm!”
“Since you absorb the immortal qi of the Zichen Immortal Realm and use its resources, you should act in its best interest!”
The gold-robed man flicked his sleeve, a heavy pressure rushing over!
“So what if I'm defending the Xuantian Continent?”
Cold light flickered in Xiaotian Emperor's eyes, and showing no fear whatsoever, he snapped back!
“Besides, I'm not just defending the Xuantian Continent. If we touch it and their boss comes back to hold us accountable, will you take responsibility?”
“If the Zichen Immortal Realm suffers any losses because of it, can you afford the blame?”
With that, the owner of Big Yellow's body took a sudden step forward, his aura erupting as he pointed a claw at the gold-robed man.
At this moment, Big Yellow also discovered that the owner of this body was actually a dog as well.
Looking at his reflection in the gold-robed man's eyes, Big Yellow was shocked.
How does he look exactly like me?
Then, he remembered the massive statue in the square of the Xiaotian Imperial City.
He looks exactly like that statue too, doesn't he?
Could the owner of this body be the ancestor of their Xiaotian Imperial Clan?
Our ancestor is so mighty! Our ancestor is so domineering!
But why would I enter his perspective?
While Big Yellow's mind was filled with wild thoughts, the atmosphere in the grand hall grew extremely tense due to the dispute between Xiaotian Emperor and the gold-robed man.
However, only Xiaotian Emperor and the gold-robed man were arguing.
The other three men dressed in black, white, and silver did not make a sound.
They simply watched in silence.
Meanwhile, the gold-robed man's aura grew increasingly piercing, showing a faint urge to strike.
However, the supreme being seated on high, whose face could not be clearly seen, remained silent throughout...
Therefore, the gold-robed man did not dare to make any reckless moves!
He could only glare with wide, rounded eyes at Big Yellow's side.
If looks could kill, Big Yellow felt that this Xiaotian Emperor would have died eight hundred times already!
Big Yellow sneered inwardly. Who doesn't know how to glare?
Besides, a dog's eyes are bigger than a human's. Just a casual glare would easily outsize yours!
I'll glare you to death...
In this bizarre atmosphere, they remained locked in a stalemate, neither willing to yield!
Big Yellow really wanted to ask: Aren't your eyes getting sore?!
After a long while, an ethereal voice drifted down from above:
“Your opinions conflict, yet both sides make sense. This matter shall be temporarily shelved.”
That final word settled it.
All the pressure in the hall instantly dissipated.
The owner of this body and the gold-robed powerhouse both restrained their auras.
However, both of their eyes looked a bit awkward!
Probably because they had been glaring for too long!
Just then, the voice rang out once more:
“All of you, dismiss.”
“Yes, Sacred Sovereign...”
The several individuals acknowledged the command and exited the grand hall one after another.
As the gold-robed man turned to leave, his peripheral vision swept coldly over Big Yellow's side, a trace of deep killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Big Yellow's heart tightened. This guy has developed killing intent!
He probably won't let this go!
The best way right now would be to strike first and gain the upper hand!
Take him out in a single blow while he's unprepared!
But did the owner of this body notice the other's killing intent?
Would he make preparations?
Big Yellow really wanted to warn him, but he couldn't!
After leaving the hall, Big Yellow felt the surrounding clouds and mists churning as the vast and empty expanse of the Immortal Realm opened up before them.
Big Yellow was carried along as the body stealthily navigated through the clouds.
He had no idea where the owner of this body was heading.
Just then, Big Yellow noticed that the owner of this body actually began to conceal his aura!
Big Yellow was somewhat puzzled. He didn't understand what this Xiaotian Emperor was planning to do.
Why hide his aura?
Floating along with the immortal clouds, they crossed tens of thousands of miles of the immortal ruins.
By the time Big Yellow realized what was happening, they had already stepped into an uninhabited, chaotic void!
Xiaotian Emperor stood within a mass of clouds, completely hiding his aura and traces!
A moment later, borrowing Xiaotian Emperor's eyes, Big Yellow saw a golden light rapidly approaching in the distance!
Big Yellow was startled. Isn't that the gold-robed man?
Could it be...?
Boom...
Just as the thought surfaced in Big Yellow's mind, Xiaotian Emperor stopped hiding, reaching out to pull out a massive bone staff.
The massive bone staff was covered in dull, pale patterns. Its body was thick and heavy, gleaming with a ghostly light.
Though shaped like a mace, it was filled with a towering, murderous aura.
The moment the massive bone staff appeared, it forced the surrounding immortal clouds to sink and churn, the very air buzzing and trembling.
Big Yellow was stunned. Oh my god.
This big bone is seriously awesome...
It's literally the bone of every dog's dreams!
No matter how you look at it, it's beautiful!
If only I had one too.
Right then, Xiaotian Emperor let out a furious roar.
Gripping the massive bone staff, he swung it violently at the rapidly approaching gold-robed man.
Big Yellow quickly pulled his drifting thoughts back and became alert!
Fierce winds tore through the air, and thunder exploded...
“Ye Fan! Go die!”
Big Yellow didn't know how the gold-robed man would face this strike.
But hearing the name 'Ye Fan,' he felt it sounded rather familiar...
It seemed his boss had also beaten to death a cultivator with that name...
As expected, his family, just like his boss, had a natural clash with anyone named Ye Fan!
At the same time, he understood one thing: Xiaotian Emperor wanted to kill Ye Fan.
Perhaps he was still worried that the man wouldn't give up on the Xuantian Continent!
But this suited him perfectly!
There was nothing better than solving the person who created the problem!
As Ye Fan was traveling at high speed, he was scheming in his heart, thinking that he must find an opportunity to kill that damned Xiaotian Emperor.
Suddenly, he felt a lethal force blasting toward him from the void!
He was caught somewhat off guard, but his reactions were extremely swift.
A golden glow flashed around him as his robes suddenly shone with brilliant golden light, and layers of golden light shields emerged.
In an instant, a protective barrier enveloped his entire body...
Boom...
A earth-shaking explosion tore through the chaos, causing the entire region of space to collapse violently.
The man and the beast clashed on the spot!
Xiaotian Emperor fought with fierce and brutal aggression, deliberately launching a sneak attack to suppress his opponent from the start.
Ye Fan's cultivation was profound, and his comprehension of the laws was at great perfection. Every single strike carried a terrifying power capable of crushing stars.
As they fought, the fragmented images in Big Yellow's mind flickered once more and then merged!
Suddenly, he was shocked. What's going on? Why do these battle scenes feel so familiar?
It's as if I've experienced them myself.
...
As the man and the beast battled on, the heavens rumbled and the void shattered, scattering celestial light, human blood, and beast blood across the sky.
The grand battle raged from the clouds down to the ruins, from day to night!
Although Xiaotian Emperor's combat power was ferocious, Ye Fan was no ordinary opponent either.
As time passed, Xiaotian Emperor gradually felt a massive consumption of energy within his body!
Seeing that he still couldn't take down Ye Fan, Xiaotian Emperor grew anxious!
If he missed this opportunity, it would likely be difficult to get another one!
A ruthless look flashed in Xiaotian Emperor's eyes.
He suddenly threw his head back and roared to the heavens:
“A Dog’s Borrowed Might!”
Following Xiaotian Emperor's sky-rending roar, a massive black dog phantom that covered the sky suddenly rose in the void behind him.
The giant dog's fur was as black as spilled ink, and its fangs were stark white and sharp.
Its eyes burned with a fierce light capable of incinerating all things, its entire body wrapped in towering divine power.
At the same time, behind the giant dog phantom, an extremely blurry figure also seemed to be slowly forming.
That phantom was clad in armor, holding a three-pointed, double-edged spear...
Pfft...
Xiaotian Emperor's face suddenly turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Clearly, the formation of that phantom placed an immense drain on him!
As he spat out the mouthful of blood, the phantom dissipated into the void.
By now, Big Yellow had also snapped out of it and noticed this scene.
Looking at the imposing aura of the phantom behind Xiaotian Emperor!
Aside from the phrase he had learned from his boss, “Holy crap...”, he really didn't know how else to express his shock.
Just which big shot was this, to actually be so terrifyingly powerful...
Roar...
Just then, the black dog phantom behind Xiaotian Emperor let out a sky-shaking roar and lunged at Ye Fan.
Already heavily injured, Ye Fan felt the aura of the phantom behind Xiaotian Emperor.
His face paled, and then a look of absolute determination flashed in his eyes...
