The sea of fire in the sky surged, and a tear appeared in the space above the flas.
A man, his body engulfed in blazing flas, appeared in the void above.
His entire body was shrouded in flas, with only his face clearly visible.
Tall and burly, he seed like a Fire God descending from the firmant, as the flas ravaged around him with ease.
"Who are you?" bellowed the Fire God in a voice as striking as a blow to the head, "How dare you intrude into the Forbidden Land?"
"Oh, so you’re the one who has been controlling this space," said Xu Zii.
He had previously thought that the person controlling this space was the man shackled in chains, but now it seed there was soone else.
The man before them did indeed look like the guardian of this space.
"I am Xingyan of the Fire Tribe," declared the man arrogantly.
"Leave now, and I shall let bygones be bygones.
Otherwise, you will be in great trouble, and no one will be able to save you."
"Xingyan of the Fire Tribe?" The Divine Emperor paused, then turned to Xu Zii and said, "He seems to be a very ancient predecessor of the Fire Tribe."
"What predecessor, he’s nothing but a lapdog of the Myriad Flowers Fairy now," snorted the man under the flas.
"Emperor Qitian, you are a dead man, why persist in such wild talk," Xingyan said coldly.
"The Myriad Flowers Fairy promised that as long as I watch over your death, she would help ascend to Heaven Beyond Heavens and break through the Ninth Vein Gate."
Upon saying that, Xingyan once again addressed Xu Zii and his companion, advising, "Why should you two ddle in this murky water?
The Myriad Flowers Fairy is no ordinary being. To put it bluntly, even in Heaven Beyond Heavens, she is among the mightiest.
Is it really worth it for the sake of a man who is about to die?
Moreover, I see that both of you could one day ascend to Heaven Beyond Heavens. Do you really wish to make such a formidable enemy?"
In Xingyan’s speech, he was analyzing the pros and cons for them while using the Myriad Flowers Fairy to intimidate them.
After all, compared to the existence of the Myriad Flowers Fairy, the benefits that this man could offer were still uncertain.
Xu Zii chuckled and said, "You make a good point, but I am of the character who, knowing there are tigers in the mountains, will go to those mountains all the sa."
"It seems you two are determined to stay," Xingyan said with narrowed eyes.
"Have your master behind the scenes co out. You can’t threaten ," Xu Zii said.
"No matter how strong the Myriad Flowers Fairy is, the first ancestor of the True Martial Holy Sect ascended so long ago it’s beyond reckoning.
And the Fourth Generation Emperor, in Heaven Beyond Heavens, why would he fear anyone else?"
As Xu Zii’s words ca to an end, the Divine Emperor raised his hands and pressed down on Xingyan.
When the Divine Emperor made his move, Xingyan finally felt an imnse pressure.
His initial brief skirmish had not given him such a clear sense of this.
The sea of fire surged around him, transforming into the phantom of a gigantic beast that lunged at the vast palm of the Divine Emperor.
"Ignorance," the Divine Emperor snorted coldly.
The Profound aning of the Divine Path gathered in his palm, and the vast sea of fire dissipated in an instant.
An endless authority suppressed this space, and Xingyan was directly smacked down from the sky by that palm.
As the Divine Emperor’s overwhelming palm ca pressing down again, Xingyan finally realized the gap between them.
His face filled with horror, he took out a white petal from the void and placed it in front of him.
The petal was pure white, and the mont it appeared, it was as if the void itself beca frozen in ti.
```
Petals spun rapidly, and to their astonishnt, a rain of flowers began to fall around them.
The wilting flower rain gave off an aura of sadness rather than the anticipated beauty, as though the petals were fading from their most brilliant mont, carrying a heavy scent of death.
In the next mont, the petals pierced through the Endless Void, the prival petals passing through the vast shower of flowers.
They headed straight for the Divine Emperor.
With the ultimate path of death, decay entwined with withering, a "boom" sounded as they exploded in front of the Divine Emperor.
At the edge of the explosion, the figure of the Divine Emperor couldn’t help but stagger backward.
After repelling the Divine Emperor, the relentless petals continued, carrying the sweeping flower rain to suppress him.
The Divine Emperor slowly rose to his feet, his gaze indifferent as he watched the oncoming petals.
He said with annoyance, "If it were really you today, I would have given you so leeway.
But to think a re petal could suppress , is treating my tens of thousands of years of cultivation like a trifle."
As the Divine Emperor spoke, the space behind him began to distort.
The realm of boundless worlds evolved behind him, a Destiny that pierced through the River of Ti, resembling the Milky Way hanging upside down in the sky.
It cascaded down from one end of the Firmant, and within that Destiny, it seed as though the Profound anings of the Great Dao were evolving, the origins of worlds being reshaped.
The Divine Emperor reached out, pinched gently, and it was as though the River of Destiny purified everything, directly obliterating the petal in his hand.
At the mont the petal dissipated, a "rumbling" explosion was heard from nearby.
The cloud layers in the Firmant burst open, as if a force reached the far side of the Firmant, and a beam of light shone down from above.
Within this beam, an image appeared.
The reflection in the image was a flower pond, with flowers Xu Zii had never seen before.
A woman dressed in a purple gauze gown sat amidst the myriad flowers, her back to everyone.
Just a single image managed to suppress the atmosphere around it, making it extrely solemn.
Xu Zii watched the woman in the image, his gaze calm and profound.
"Myriad Flowers Fairy, save ," Xing Yan shouted desperately for help at his side.
Behind the Divine Emperor, Destiny flowed quietly, forming a space of his own, facing the woman in the image with an imposing manner.
"When the flowers wither, the leaves too will decay," a voice ca from the image.
Then corruption began to spread rapidly over Xing Yan’s body at an alarming rate.
It seed like sothing was eroding his flesh.
"Fairy, you can’t do this to ; I’ve stood guard here for tens of thousands of years. You promised —ah!"
Before Xing Yan could finish his words, his body completely decayed on the spot, and ultimately nothing was left.
Then the image began to dissipate, and although the woman’s back was to everyone, Xu Zii still felt as if sothing had fixed its gaze on him.
In that mont, he felt as if his blood and soul had frozen solid.
Only when the image completely faded away did the aura around the Divine Emperor gradually disperse.
"This world is truly marvelous; I’m looking forward to the Heaven Beyond Heavens more and more," Xu Zii said with a light chuckle.
They approached the man beneath the waterfall once more.
"I heard him call you Emperor Qitian a mont ago," Xu Zii inquired.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know. I wasn’t recognized as an emperor in the Yuan Central Continent, so it’s normal for you to have never heard of ," the man said with a smile.
