Chapter 725: Birds of a Feather, Slaying Their Fathers Together
The Great Mother and Pale Revenant approached from either side, converging with him as they moved forward together.
While his body double ventured forth to investigate, Yun Xiao\'s true self remained within the Azure Rain Sword Vessel, continuing his cultivation.
Soon, Moon Fairy arrived at the source of the radiant light and spotted a celestial formation.
"This is the place where the White Emperor perished!" Moon Fairy recognized it instantly.
The body of the White Emperor had long since turned to dust, but beneath where he lay, a colorful six-pointed star formation now spread, boasting six hues, its brilliance dazzling to the eyes, imbued with an ancient power!
BOOM! The heavens shuddered with the vibrations of the Sacred Emperor Barrier, which clearly lent its strength to this colorful celestial formation, amplifying the radiant light.
"This can\'t be good..."
Anything connected to the White Emperor was bound to be trouble.Without a second word, Moon Fairy, clutching the silver Immortal Asylum, hurled it directly at the colorful celestial formation.
BOOM! When the Immortal Asylum touched the colorful formation, the force exerted by Moon Fairy felt like striking water.
POP! The formation produced a strong suction, swallowing Yun Xiao\'s body double whole.
"Immortal Yun!"
The Great Mother and Pale Revenant, faces filled with urgency, one after another, crashed into the colorful celestial formation, vanishing into a kaleidoscopic sea in the blink of an eye.
After the three entered, the celestial formation seemed to burst, and just then, Divine Dawn severed the Sacred Emperor Barrier\'s connection to the colorful formation, causing it to tremble violently.
BUZZ! The colorful wave-like celestial formation shattered, and the penetrating radiance, like fireworks at their brightest, finally faded away.
The world slowly returned to normal.
"What in the world?"
In the next instant, a white figure appeared at the site, stomping his foot down—no sign of the celestial formation remained, only the charred, ruined ground.
That white figure was none other than Yun Xiao himself.
“Gone?” The War Princess appeared beside him, her face a mask of confusion.
Yun Xiao wore an expression of speechless exasperation.
Soon after, the girl in the white dress flew over from a distance, hurrying to ask, “Wasn\'t that your body double? What happened?”
“He fell into some sort of long river and is now drifting forward in its currents, with no end in sight,” Yun Xiao paused, frowning. “But... it seems a bit difficult to return. I need to think of another way.”
“And the two corpse demons?” The War Princess quirked an eyebrow.
“They’re clinging together. No, I mean... protecting each other,” Yun Xiao sheepishly corrected.
Divine Dawn rolled her eyes at this.
“Speaking of which, what’s this colorful celestial formation? It seems to have been activated by the White Emperor?” Yun Xiao hadn’t expected that something long dead and reduced to ashes could still cause such a stir. It must have been set up by him ahead of time.
Divine Dawn slightly furrowed her brows, pondering, “I’ve heard that the imperial family came from an ancestral land. I don’t know where it is. This celestial formation resembles a summoning edict for ancestors, intended to call them for help. But I’ve never heard of such a summoning edict sucking people in.”
“So, you mean the trouble has just grown?” Yun Xiao said with a headache. He was still busy handling the matter of the incense offerings. Another unknown variable was the last thing he wanted.
“Not necessarily, since it was interrupted right after activation by me, there’s a high chance it didn’t send out a signal,” Divine Dawn reassured, glancing back at the site of the celestial formation. “Of course, the interruption of the formation and your body double falling into it are related.”
“So, if the summoning edict wasn’t successful, our only loss is three combatants,” the War Princess suddenly smirked.
“Ugh…” Yun Xiao was now hurriedly seeking a solution to prepare for his final showdown with Lu Fan. Yet, at this critical moment, his Divine Desolation Physique and the two corpse demons were gone.
Those three were his front-line heavy hitters!
“And the Immortal Asylum is gone too,” Divine Dawn bit her lip, her irritation apparent.
These were major assets for confronting the Chaos Soul.
Now only Yun Xiao, Divine Dawn, and the War Princess remained, seemingly at a disadvantage.
“That’s not the worst of it. If your body double can’t return, and the summoning edict works, and the imperial family\'s ancestor actually shows up, then we’re truly finished,” the War Princess said.
“Stop with your doom and gloom,” Divine Dawn suddenly snapped.
“Heh,” the War Princess rolled her eyes.
Yun Xiao paused, asking, “What’s going on with you two? Got a feud or something?”
"Scram."
Unbelievably, they spoke in unison.
Divine Dawn had no intention of wasting her thoughts on this love triangle. She suggested, "Extract the White Emperor\'s spirit and ask him directly."
Yun Xiao had been planning to do just that.
Just then, a thunderous noise erupted overhead as a massive vessel requested entry to the Heavenly Palace.
"The Nine Thunders Divine Ark, shall we let it in?" Divine Dawn inquired.
This divine ark was temporarily under the control of Cao Shuo, whose duty was to guard Yun Xiao’s homeland and the rest of the mortal realm.
After Divine Dawn opened the celestial formation, the Nine Thunders Divine Ark descended swiftly from the sky, landing right in front of them.
"Darling!"
The Thunder Department\'s enchantress, in her slit dress and voluptuous figure, with curly hair and charming legs, swept up a rich scent of perfume as she approached Yun Xiao.
She reached out her jade hand and embraced Yun Xiao fully, producing a pop at the moment of their collision.
"Cough." Yun Xiao was somewhat overwhelmed and quickly pulled away, noticing from the corner of his eye that Divine Dawn’s face had frosted over.
As for the War Princess, she enjoyed the drama, teasingly remarking, "Both from the human race, yet how can there be such a difference in femininity?"
Yun Xiao\'s headache grew; he didn’t know when she had become so bold as to dare to mock Divine Dawn.
"Oh?" Cao Shuo sensed the undercurrents swirling. She swiftly changed her tone and respectfully said to Divine Dawn, "This humble Immortal greets the Seventh Princess."
"Why have you returned? Did something happen?" Divine Dawn seemed calm, her eyes reflecting the suffering of the living and the rise and fall of the world.
As she asked, an old man with one eye descended from the Nine Thunders Divine Ark—it was the Devil Eye.
Cao Shuo then spoke earnestly, "After Lord Devil Eye arrived, we cooperated to purge the imperial family from all the mortal stars. Just as the common folk were freed from hardship, a more sinister shadow descended, once again casting the mortal realm into turmoil."
"Lu Fan and the Western Kunlun Palace?" Yun Xiao frowned.
"Correct. Lu Fan has seized the Crown Prince’s All-Life Empress Gu, intending to take over the incense offerings. It\'s already begun! If you wish to restore true peace to the heavens and earth, we must act now," the Devil Eye declared gravely.
"On board, let\'s go!" Yun Xiao commanded.
Afterwards, Yun Xiao, Divine Dawn, and the War Princess, now aware of the gravity of the situation, leaped onto the Nine Thunders Divine Ark, with Cao Shuo and the Devil Eye in tow.
With a thunderous roar, the Nine Thunders Divine Ark, commanded by Cao Shuo, burst forth, surging skyward amidst a blaze of lightning.
"How could the Seventh Princess and Lu Yao just leave?"
The millions of Immortals were still reeling from the recent surprise of the colorful celestial formation.
Now, of all times, the Heavenly Palace needed them most! Everything was still in chaos! How could they leave?
"It\'s essential that everyone knows Lu Fan\'s true nature and why we\'re fighting," Yun Xiao declared.
"I will explain." Divine Dawn moved to the bow of the ark, facing the millions of Immortals—and by extension, the entire Great Dao Celestial Realm, revealing Lu Fan\'s schemes!
Instantly, the masses were shaken, and the celestial realm united in outrage. The old evil had just been slain, and now a new evil was rising! This was unacceptable!
"Damn, that Lu Fan! He\'s a real son of a bitch, and his sons are sons of sons of bitches too!!" someone burst out, unable to restrain their curses.
Another quickly covered his mouth, embarrassedly chiding, "Are you a dumbass? Lu Yao is Lu Fan\'s son!"
"Oh… Right!"
This wasn\'t a father-son drama, but a final showdown that would determine the fate of all.
"Lu Yao, go fuck your dad up!"
"The Seventh Princess already took out her own old man! Now, it\'s your turn!"
"Justice over kinship, all of us stand with you!"
Their voices thundered across the air.
Divine Dawn witnessed all the faces of anger, her eyes blazing red as she proclaimed, "Any who stand against our mortal kin, no matter how divine, shall be doomed to die a miserable death, fall into hell, and never reincarnate!"
