Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

At the center of countless crimson arrays, blood beads formed from condensed blood energy gathered in ever-increasing numbers.

Seemingly summoned, the billions of blood beads rose up from all directions of the alien territory almost simultaneously, like a reverse-flowing crimson galaxy, and converged on the deepest part of the alien territory.

Where the crimson starry river passed, the sky began to change color.

The once clear sky was now completely shrouded by a thick, impenetrable layer of blood-red clouds.

Deep within the foreign territory,

The forbidden area known as "Emperor's Fall Valley" is undergoing tremendous changes.

The crimson galaxy surged wildly toward the center of an invisible vortex at the bottom of the valley, gradually outlining a blurry human figure.

The outline was initially just a faint blood-red light and shadow, but as blood droplets continued to flow in and fill it, it began to solidify.

Bones are reshaped amidst the blood-red light, meridians spread and intertwine like vines, muscles bulge and cover inch by inch, and skin gradually transforms from transparent to a bronze-colored substance.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure was gradually spreading from the solidifying figure.

At first, it only covered a radius of a hundred miles around Huangyun Valley, but then it spread in all directions at an astonishing speed.

Thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of miles...

The sky over the entire alien territory trembled.

The earth cracked open with countless bottomless fissures, and the mountains and rivers groaned under the immense pressure.

Those alien race members who were lucky enough not to be swallowed by the blood-red array were all prostrate on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, and did not even have the courage to raise their heads.

Above the City of Heavenly Darkness.

Xia Jin narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Um?"

The seven-colored light in Xia Jin's eyes flickered slightly. He raised an eyebrow slightly, and although the casual smile on his lips did not disappear, a hint of seriousness appeared deep in his pupils.

"That's interesting."

"This oppressive aura... is much stronger than I expected. It seems that the so-called 'Emperor' is not entirely without merit."

Despite this, Xia Jin never showed the slightest sign of nervousness on her face.

He slowly raised his left hand, his five fingers slightly spread, and a faint image of a bell flashed and disappeared in his palm.

With his right hand clenched loosely, the Hetu and Luoshu seemed to appear, as if they contained the supreme mysteries of heaven and earth.

The Eastern Emperor Bell, the River Chart and the Luo River Writing.

With these two top-tier treasures from previous myths and legends in hand, Xia Jin had absolutely no worries.

Even if the opponent is also a Mythical Realm being, so what? Faced with these two powerful weapons, he has the confidence to crush even opponents of the same realm.

"I'd like to see just how much trouble you, this emperor of a foreign race, can cause."

at the same time,

Inside the sacred temple deep within the alien city of Tianyou.

The phantom floating above that black finger bone was now gazing through the crack in the temple's dome at the distant, blood-red, overwhelming spectacle.

His eyes reflected the human-shaped outline formed by countless beads of blood, but his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Finally, he let out a heavy, cold snort, his tone filled with undisguised apprehension:

"As expected... these people under Lan Tianzun are all madmen! To awaken Lan Tianzun, they actually dare to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of millions of their clansmen!"

He floated on his finger bones and paced back and forth a few times, his illusory face displaying an ever-changing expression.

"If Venerable Lan Tianzun finds out that I refused to help just now, given his temperament, he probably won't let me off easily after he awakens."

"Now that he's about to awaken, it's best to leave first. Otherwise, once he's dealt with that purple-haired youth, even if I wanted to leave... I might not be able to."

"Enough! This place is no place to linger! I, the Venerable One, will retreat first and find another treasure land where my soul can be nurtured! As for the mess between the alien races and Venerable Lan... let them clean it up themselves!"

The moment the words fell, thick black energy surged from the phantom, wrapping around the black finger bone and lifting it up.

It shot out from the crack in the temple dome and fled towards the far north of Tianyou City.

However, this small gesture naturally caught Xia Jin's attention.

He slightly turned his head, casually glancing at the streak of black smoke that had sped away.

"Ha! You're pretty fast."

Xia Jin withdrew her gaze, showing no interest whatsoever in stopping them.

A mere remnant soul of the Mythical Realm, with only 20% of its peak strength, was utterly insignificant in his eyes. Something he could crush with a single slap wasn't worth his time.

He turned his gaze back toward the direction of Huangyun Valley, where the humanoid silhouettes were becoming increasingly solid and clear.

The oppressive aura was already extremely intense.

The eight alien kings were currently suspended in mid-air in front of the City of Heavenly Nether, their bodies trembling slightly—but it was not fear, but ecstasy, the madness of escaping from a desperate situation.

Shi Wang's face flushed red with excitement. He turned to look at Xia Jin with a hint of smugness:

"Hahaha!! Did you see that?! My clan's emperor is about to awaken!! That oppressive aura... you felt it, didn't you?! You're doomed! You're doomed!! Your entire demon race will also descend to be buried with our fallen kin!!"

The Black King Jiekui was also completely insane at this moment.

"No matter how powerful you are!? When our Emperor fully descends, it will be your death! Your flesh and blood, your soul, will become the first sacrifice for our Emperor's return to the world!"

Faced with the almost manic mockery of the eight alien kings, Xia Jin shook her head helplessly.

It was as if the other party's hysterical shouting was nothing more than a ridiculous farce to him.

"Yeah?"

"Then I shall wait and see."

After saying that, he raised his right hand and casually grabbed at the majestic Eight Kings Palace in the center of Tianyou City.

boom!!

One of the thrones in the Hall of Eight Kings was directly summoned by him from a distance and flew to his back.

Xia Jin leaned back lazily on the throne, resting her right hand on the wide armrest and crossing her legs.

"bring it on."

"Let me see this 'Emperor' you've won by sacrificing the lives of billions of your people..."

"Are you even worthy to be my opponent?"
