Chapter 567: 567

Autarch Qian’s mad laughter drove them into confusion .

“Friend from the Archaion Divine Realm? What do you mean!?” Tianming felt an ominous premonition .

Obviously, Autarch Qian didn’t seem crazy . In fact, his current state suggested he was sure of revenge .

He truly possessed a trump card! He was already the strongest person in the Theocracy and owned the Cyclic Mirror . How could he have an ace up the sleeve that could decide everything? The answer would be revealed momentarily .

Instantly, a middle-aged man dressed in a black brocade walked out of a very ordinary building . With his bunched-up hair, a beard, long, narrow eyes, and a sinister temperament, he appeared to be an evil man at a glance . What made them frown was the man’s bloody and devastating aura . He had his hands behind his back and a smile on his lips . From the moment he appeared, the battlefield was completely under his control .

“This man is an empyrean saint!” Bai Mo exclaimed, his expression altering drastically .

“That’s impossible . People from the Archaion Divine Realm have never been here . . . ” Ye Yi’s expression was equally ugly .

In the battle in the Divine Capital, the Decimo Dao Palace slaughtered all of Autarch Qian’s descendants . Having witnessed Autarch Qian’s decline, they never imagined that he had found a powerhouse from the Archaion to reverse the situation .

“Don’t be so surprised . And don’t worry, all of you will die . The one with the talents must die!” Xuanyuan Xu said with a smile .

As soon as the words left his lips, his eyes flashed, and a dim yellow spear appeared in his outstretched hand . The spear was densely covered in saintly heavenly patterns, its tip resembling the teeth of a giant beast . Everyone soon realized this was a weapon with ninety-nine saintly heavenly patterns, which was equivalent to Three-Thousand Starfield .

“Xuanyuan Xu, help me kill Li Wudi first, and then you can play with them as you please . ” Autarch Qian put away his smile, his eyes gleaming brightly .

“That’s a given . We’re friends, after all . ” Xuanyuan Xu smiled faintly . With a jolt of his feet, he turned into an elusive phantom, instantly attacking Li Wudi .

Just how arrogant was this man? He hadn’t bothered to release his lifebound beast!

With such strength, the spirits of the Decimo Dao Palace powerhouses sank to the bottom .

“He’s at least a third-level empyrean saint,” Bai Mo said hoarsely .

They had to admit the fact was despairing .

“Autarch Qian must have come across this man when he was looking for the herbs . Autarch Qian certainly isn’t his opponent . If he was defeated, he would definitely give away the Grand-Orient Sword and Prime Tower to bring him here!”

In truth, the reason was no longer important . The important thing was that Xuanyuan Xu crashed into the Theocracy like the sun and was about to bring a devastating blow to the Decimo Dao Palace who had just won a small victory .

Li Wudi knew better than anyone else how difficult the current situation was . His eyes deepened as they collided with Tianming’s .

“Take everyone and leave! The farther you escape, the better . I’ll hold them off!” Li Wudi’s voice resounded like a bell, tinged with a fearlessness in the face of death .

As he once said, he would be responsible for everything .

“Tianming, I want you to take them away! My fate isn’t as good as yours . Stop being all wishy-washy . It’ll only make me look down on you . Now go!”

While Li Wudi was still speaking, Xuanyuan Xu had already flashed towards him with his spear while Autarch Qian attacked from the side . A life and death crisis descended upon him .

“Go!”

Li Wudi roared, breathing fire from his eyes . The Firstbane Saber collided with Xuanyuan Xu’s Antediluvian Spear . His Bloodfiend Body crackled as he resisted the suppression of the Cyclic Mirror with his flesh . He was then sent flying and slammed into a tall building that collapsed on impact .

The moment the building fell, a blood-red figure dashed out and shot towards Xuanyuan Xu . The speed at which he got up was admirable . But what was the use of such admiration?

“Tianming, I’m handing my daughter over to you . I’m begging you!” Wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, Li Wudi intercepted Xuanyuan Xu and Autarch Qian like a wild beast .

He never thought he would be in such a desperate situation . But that was life; you surprise your opponent, and they return the favor at some point . Proper behavior was based on reciprocity . The variables of life were so cruel .

“No way!”

The response he received was these two decisive words .

“Why do you get to play the hero while I’m forced to drag out an ignoble existence?” said the young man behind him .

“Do you want to die together?” Li Wudi growled .

“Why not? Godfather, dying with you isn’t a bad thing at all . ”

His words shocked Li Wudi .

“How can I ever deserve that?” The ferocious man had tears in his eyes .

“Godfather, my ancestors must have accumulated merit for me to have met you,” said Tianming with a fiery gaze .

Time seemed to freeze here . With a fire-like will, the father and son built each other up .

Li Wudi took a deep breath and turned to those behind him . “Bai Mo, Ye Yi, you know what to do, don’t you? I’ll leave Qingyu to you . I can’t stop Tianming . Let’s not waste any more time . They’ve been watching our little show . ”

“It’s okay, keep going . I like watching a good parting . You go, you go, everyone goes . Oh, it’s so moving I’m about to cry . ” Xuanyuan Xu grinned while fiddling with the spear in his hand .

When Li Wudi saw Bai Mo and Ye Yi taking action, he finally felt relieved . In truth, if they remained here, they would surely die . Someone had to clean up the mess in the Theocracy . Ye Yi and Bai Mo had plenty of burdens to bear and couldn’t stand beside Li Wudi through life and death like Tianming .

Tianming hoped they would quickly leave as well . It was best if they could take Ye Lingfeng away . But when he turned around, he found Ye Lingfeng rooted to the spot like a pillar . No matter how Ye Yi tried to drag him away, he stared at Tianming wordlessly, red-eyed and motionless .

“Hall Master, let go of him,” said Tianming .

Ye Yi was helpless .

“That’s right . This one can’t leave . He has the Evil Suppression Pillar,” Xuanyuan Xu said with a smile .

“Are you done? I can’t hold it anymore . My tears are falling . Any more emotions and I won’t be able to boil my fish soup,” Autarch Qian cheerfully said .

They stood together before Tianming, like two insurmountable peaks of death . There was no way out of this catastrophe . Forget about Autarch Qian; Xuanyuan Xu’s cultivation was almost a stage higher than Tianming . How were they supposed to fight?

Autarch Qian wasn’t going to let Bai Mo and Ye Yi go . Seeing that they were preparing to evacuate, he exchanged a meaningful glance with Xuanyuan Xu and charged toward them . The response they received was Li Wudi and Tianming’s courage to face death .

“Tianming, the Li Saint Clan live hard lives . Looks like we’ve reached a dead end . Let’s give it our all and see if we can take one of them with us,” said Li Wudi .

“Yes!”

Tianming took a deep breath . He glanced at the man who promised to shoulder everything . His heart burned with passion .

“Strength and might will always be the truth of the world! I thought that I would always be able to protect my loved ones, but the reality is the cruelest slap in the face!”

He understood Li Wudi was equally upset . After 14 years of overcoming a disaster, he swore an oath to become invincible, so he would never lose his loved ones again . Two people with the same oaths were fighting for each other, like moths to a flame before these two mountains of death . If they managed to hold on for a while, perhaps their loved ones would have the chance to escape . This was possible because of Tianming’s fearlessness .

The two of them shared the same determination, both from the Li Saint Clan, both with lifesbane . Because of this, they appeared alike, like two bloody beasts without the slightest fear in their eyes .

“Amazing! You can also be a genius in the Archaion with a will, courage, and cultivation like yours in your twenties,” said Xuanyuan Xu .

He noticed the Grand-Orient Sword in Tianming’s hands, his eyes red . He strode towards Tianming .

“Xuanyuan Xu, help me first!” said Autarch Qian .

“Sure . ” Xuanyuan Xu was a little impatient, but he knew that Li Wudi was difficult to deal with . As he stretched out his hand, a huge lifebound beast shot out of his lifebound space .

The giant beast rolled in the sky . Tianming looked up to see a total of ninety stars in its eyes, which surpassed the entire Theocracy . That was a ninth-order empyrean beast! It was only one step away from the legendary hundred-star saint beast and had one more star than the autarch beast . This was the power of the Flameyellow continent, the core of the Nine Divine Realms, where the supreme gods were once born .

“Unfortunately, I’m afraid I won’t have the opportunity to meet the famous geniuses and top powerhouses of the center of the Nine Divine Realms . ” Tianming was unmoved .

The more unwilling he was, the more he burned with anger . This was a third-level empyrean saint’s ninth-order empyrean beast—a true dragon . It was covered with faint yellow scales and enveloped with gray clouds . With red eyes, it resembled a wildbeast . As soon as it appeared, it stared fixedly at Tianming .

Its name was the Infernal Viledragon .

“Take him down . ” Xuanyuan Xu said indifferently .

He wasn’t excited at all . He could deal with these two supposed opponents on his own . The Infernal Viledragon roared, rising into the sky and charging at Tianming .

Li Wudi couldn’t help Tianming because he had to face both Autarch Qian and Xuanyuan Xu . As for his lifebound beast, it was currently entangled in a battle with the autarch beast . The dragon’s hot breath burned before it reached Tianming . Its body was even bigger than Lan Huang’s .

A yellow flame spewed from its mouth, spraying across so there was nowhere to hide . A black formation suddenly appeared in front of Tianming, blocking him from the Infernal Viledragon’s abilities .

It was the Evil Suppression Formation!
