Chapter 631: Chapter 630: Monster

’The Celestial Cloud Emperor was brought under control just like that?’

When the ministers saw Yi Tianyun bound so tightly, they were ecstatic. Some of them had seen the Supreme Emperor use this move before. Once someone was bound by it, they could never break free. They would ultimately be constricted to death, their bodies pierced by countless tendrils.

Forget about moving—once the tendrils burrowed into the body, the victim was completely controlled. They couldn’t even take their own life.

Under these circumstances, they would be utterly controlled, becoming a mere puppet. Then, their captors could do with him as they pleased. The so-called Celestial Cloud Emperor would be nothing more than their prisoner.

Just as they thought they had captured Yi Tianyun, a sudden FWOOSH erupted from within. Incredibly intense, pitch-black flames spread like wildfire, madly consuming the vines in every direction!

"These flames!" Supreme Emperor Qianyuan’s expression changed, and he swiftly severed the vines binding Yi Tianyun. Only then did the flames stop, no longer spreading outward.

The vines connected to him were incinerated in the blink of an eye. If he hadn’t severed the connection in time, all the vines here would have been completely set ablaze.

Then, a pitch-black figure was revealed, like an Evil God standing before them. Its dark pupils stared coldly at Supreme Emperor Qianyuan as terrifying power radiated from its entire body.

The Evil God Set was the source of his fearlessness! While wearing this peerless armor, his Combat Power skyrocketed, reaching a staggering seven billion!

This formidable Combat Power was naturally due to his recent breakthrough in cultivation. A single breakthrough had increased his Combat Power by nearly a billion.

This was the astonishing result of his Basic Attributes stacking with the terrifying Madness Mode, further enhanced by the effects of the Evil God Set. Even a Saint King would pale in comparison.

Without these effects, he truly wouldn’t have dared to fight so far above his level—he was facing a Saint King, after all! But after donning the Evil God Set, he felt as if he *were* a Saint King!

"The Divine Wood Body. A Rare physique. I think the Creation Celestial Divine King chose you largely because you possess this special body. Your longevity would have made you the perfect Guardian to watch over the passage to the Netherworld. It’s a shame you didn’t fulfill that role." Yi Tianyun now had a rough idea why the Creation Celestial Divine King had chosen the man; the Divine Wood Body was the best option.

Unfortunately, the Creation Celestial Divine King’s influence hadn’t been deep enough to ensure his loyalty, which led to this result.

"What on earth is that Treasure?! Did the Creation Celestial Divine King give it to you!?" Supreme Emperor Qianyuan was stunned. The sheer intensity of the flames aside, the power continuously radiating from Yi Tianyun was enough to make one’s heart pound in fear.

The power was overwhelming, as if they were facing a Giant they could only look up to in awe!

Emperor Qianyuan and the others were stunned. They had thought Yi Tianyun would be killed in a single move, but he was completely unharmed. Instead, he had burned the sturdy vines to nothing.

It was true that fire countered wood, but that didn’t mean any fire could burn *any* wood. The vines used by Supreme Emperor Qianyuan certainly couldn’t be ignited by ordinary flames. Their durability was comparable to a Holy Artifact’s; how could common fire possibly burn them? Even weapons below the Sacred Artifact grade couldn’t leave a single mark.

With a weapon below the Holy Artifact Level, one would probably break their own weapon before they could even damage the vines. Yet now, a single burst of fire had easily reduced them to ash.

’They had never seen such astonishing flames before. Could this be called a Holy Fire?’

In terms of grade, it was indeed a Holy Fire—the Holy Fire of the Phoenix Nest! Within the Phoenix Nest, it was regarded as a sacred flame of absolutely astonishing power.

"What if it is, and what if it isn’t? Is that question really important right now?" Yi Tianyun’s gaze was ice-cold. "Let me properly experience the power of a Guardian. I’m more interested in seeing how you’re going to make me grovel!"

BOOM!

The moment he finished speaking, he stomped his foot and shot forward like a bolt of black light. The dark stream of light formed a black ribbon in the air, seeming to swallow everything around it. Some ministers who weren’t fast enough to flee were caught in its pull. Before they could even scream, they were sucked into the black ribbon.

They were instantly ignited and burned to ash in the blink of an eye. The thing that looked like a black ribbon was actually a long trail of fire. As he rushed forward, it formed a massive vortex that swept up the surrounding ministers.

Those farther away were safe, but any who were even slightly closer were pulled in and swiftly incinerated!

In the blink of an eye, nearly half the ministers were reduced to ash, transforming into a large wave of experience points that flooded into his system. However, the amount of experience was far too little for him.

In less than half a breath, he was already reaching for Supreme Emperor Qianyuan’s head. His speed was simply too fast, unbelievably so. Even Supreme Emperor Qianyuan couldn’t clearly see his approaching figure.

Yi Tianyun’s current stacked speed was immense. With the bonuses from special items like the Phoenix Wings and various other accessories, his speed instantly exploded to a terrifying level.

Even a Saint King would be no match for his terrifying speed!

"How could this be...?" Supreme Emperor Qianyuan quickly raised a hand to block. Yi Tianyun ignored the block, grabbed his wrist, and viciously slammed his entire body down into the ground.

BOOM!

A pillar of black flame shot into the sky and raged outward. Emperor Qianyuan didn’t even have time to escape before he was sent flying by the blast. The black Immortal Fire began to burn crazily across his body. The intense agony made him scream and roll on the ground, but it was useless.

With a ruthless resolve, he chopped at his own burning thigh and arm. SLASH! He severed his own arm and leg, but no blood flowed out.

He used his power to seal the wounds, preventing even a single drop of blood from escaping.

The severed limbs were instantly burned to ash, leaving not even a speck behind. The terrifying power of the flames was astounding.

A mighty Great Emperor, crippled in an instant. And this wasn’t from a direct confrontation, but merely from the aftershock of an attack. It was a testament to how terrifying Yi Tianyun’s power truly was; everyone had drastically underestimated him.

During his previous battle against the World Dragon Empire’s Supreme Ancestor, everyone had witnessed Yi Tianyun engaged in a difficult fight. But the main reason for that perception was that no one could see the battle clearly, so rumors spread that he had barely won.

Now, it was clear those rumors were completely false. His true power was enough to crush their Supreme Ancestor; he was far stronger than anyone had estimated.

’Our Qianyuan Empire... is finished...’

Emperor Qianyuan no longer felt his own injuries, as if they belonged to someone else. He was utterly transfixed by the flames before his eyes. ’If we could do it all over again,’ he thought, ’we would never have provoked this monster!’
