Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Daoist Emperor’s Weapon

"Die!"

A cold voice emanated from Zhao Yuan’s mouth.

Everyone could see an ancient giant finger descending from the sky like a divine pillar, fiercely pressing down on Ji Chen, intending to obliterate him on the spot into ashes.

Ji Chen frowned deeply, the Spiritual Sea within him trembling wildly, trying to forcibly dissolve the power weighing down on him.

Unfortunately, the terrifying and formidable power far exceeded his expectations.

This was an existence infinitely close to the Emperor Realm, having lived for countless millennia, considered invincible in this era.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the ancient giant finger pressed down, nearing Ji Chen’s head.

At this critical moment, suddenly, everyone could feel an immense, boundless aura erupt from somewhere in Divine River City.

Soon after, a beam of light flashed, appearing instantly in front of Ji Chen.

This was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a white robe, standing out of nowhere.

At the moment of his appearance, the old man waved his sleeve, directly dispelling the pressing ancient giant finger.

"Hmm?"

Such a scene caused Zhao Yuan in the distant void to frown, his gaze icy as it bore down.

"A disciple of the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion. Does Patriarch Zhao believe he can kill him at will, utterly disregarding me?"

The white-robed elder spoke, his gaze meeting Zhao Yuan’s.

"Mansion Master!"

Ji Chen gasped for breath, recognizing the other party as the Mansion Master of the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, the Celestial Saint Venerable!

Like Zhao Yuan, he was also one of the current era’s supreme beings in the Desolate Realm, a powerful person infinitely close to the Emperor Realm, one of the Venerable Supremes of the time.

"Ji Chen has killed so many of my Zhao Family, today, I am taking his life, what is inappropriate about that?"

Zhao Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze meeting that of the Celestial Saint Venerable.

"Buzz!"

The void trembled, and an intangible grand momentum clashed. These two were supreme beings of the era, and although there was no physical confrontation yet, the mere clash of auras darkened the entire sky, as though the end of the world was approaching.

"The grudge between your Zhao Family and Ji Chen stems from the Purple Ink Halberd."

The Celestial Saint Venerable spoke calmly and composedly, "Since the Emperor’s Halberd has fallen into Ji Chen’s hands, it belongs to him. Your Zhao Family attempted to snatch it from him but lacked the skill, to put it harshly, deserving of death."

Hearing the Celestial Saint Venerable’s words, Zhao Yuan pondered, yet his gaze remained icy.

After a moment, he spoke, "Is the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion planning to become enemies with my Zhao Family?"

"The Celestial Emperor’s Mansion has never aimed to be enemies with anyone, but neither is it a soft persimmon to be pinched at will. Today, with me here, no one will harm him."

His voice, though mild, was exceptionally powerful, resonating clearly throughout Divine River City.

"Buzz!"

The space trembled incessantly, the surging momentum still clashing, making it seem as if this void was on the verge of collapsing.

In Divine River City, countless people held their breath, nearly suffocating under the pressure of those two terrifying auras.

"Such audacity."

Amidst the stalemate between the two sides, suddenly, a cold snort resounded from the depths of the Song Family.

Soon after, a gray-clad figure stepped out from nowhere, arriving atop this void.

"Song Daoran!"

In the city, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, recognizing the newcomer as the Patriarch of the Song Family, also one of the Venerable Supremes of the current era, an existence infinitely close to the Emperor Realm.

"Ji Chen’s life, today, my Song Family is determined to take it. Can you alone stop us?"

Song Daoran stood with his hands behind his back, stepping forward as if the entire void started to boil at this moment.

Space trembled, the terrifying Power of the Dao filled the area, as if it would completely engulf this world.

The Celestial Saint Venerable narrowed his eyes slightly. Alone, against two Venerable Supremes, he indeed found it difficult to contend. But today, come what may, he had to protect Ji Chen.

"Buzz!"

After a cold snort, the Celestial Saint Venerable flipped his palm.

Immediately, everyone could feel an overwhelmingly terrifying aura surging forth.

In the Celestial Saint Venerable’s hand, a Linglong Treasure Tower appeared, suspended above his palm, radiating dazzling divine light, enveloped with terrifying Power of the Dao.

"You may give it a try."

Standing with the tower, the Celestial Saint Venerable’s gaze met those of the two Venerable Supremes ahead, calm and composed.

"The Linglong Tower!"

"The artifact of the first generation Mansion Master of the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, one of the few ’Daoist Emperor’s Weapons’ in the Desolate Realm of the era!"

In the city, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim, their faces painted with astonishment and their eyes brimming with fear.

The so-called Daoist Emperor’s Weapon is the weapon of a Great Emperor, akin to the Purple Ink Halberd obtained by Ji Chen, far more fearsome than ordinary Emperor’s Weapons.

It is said that this level of magical treasure possesses the true power to destroy heaven and earth. Should they collide, even with the Grand Array’s protection, Divine River City would be razed in an instant.

"Are you insane?"

Zhao Yuan frowned, coldly snorting, "For the sake of one mere disciple, would you dare wield a Daoist Emperor’s Weapon against the weapons of our two major Di Races?"

Evidently, even Zhao Yuan and Song Daoran, with their calm demeanor, felt a tinge of apprehension upon seeing the Linglong Tower that the Celestial Saint Venerable had summoned.

They understood more than anyone the terrifying nature of such weapons. If truly wielded here, countless individuals in Divine River City would perish.

Unlike Zhao Yuan, however, Song Daoran remained exceedingly assertive.

Upon seeing the Linglong Tower summoned, he coldly snorted, "What of the Daoist Emperor’s Weapon? My Song Family isn’t without one, if you wish to battle, then so be it!"

"Buzz!"

As his words fell, he waved his hand, and instantly, everyone could feel a terrifying aura erupting from the Song Family’s direction.

The earth trembled, as if the entire Divine River City was shaking.

Soon after, a golden light flashed, flying from the Song Family, instantly arriving beside Song Daoran.

"The Celestial Emperor Cauldron!"

In Divine River City, everyone involuntarily trembled, their eyes filled with fear and anxiety.

This cauldron was the Song Family’s Daoist Emperor’s Weapon, rumored to have slain two Great Emperors during the last Immortal Ancient War, having drunk the Blood of the Great Emperor, its reputation dreadfully notorious.

"Are they all insane?"

"These are Daoist Emperor’s Weapons with the power to destroy heaven and earth. If they truly clash here, the entire Divine River City will turn to ruin."

Many shivered, unable to comprehend how the situation had escalated to this extent.
