NOVPUBEveryone on the Ascension List had voluntarily stepped back, even the experts of the Taiyi Sect had moved aside, giving the stage to Meng Yu and Emperor Ye.
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator declaring to kill a Nascent Soul’s entire family was unheard of and today, everyone was truly opening their eyes to a new possibility!
The Cloud Map had stopped updating. Meng Yu was giving his all in facing Emperor Ye, but everyone was itching with curiosity, incessantly sending messages to the Blood Shadow Ancestor.
"Come on, start live streaming!"
"You sneaky bastard, you’ve hidden yourself well!" 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
"Ah, how’s it going now? Is Cao Defang Meng Yu?"
Of course, what everyone cared more about was the battle between Emperor Ye and Meng Yu.
A Nascent Soul’s Divine Soul controlling a body of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection to fight an enemy at the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment—what were the chances of victory?
Emperor Ye floated in the air, with six black mirrors fanning out behind him like a peacock’s tail.
"This is the Ancestor’s Cultivation Technique, called the Eight Divine Mirrors. However, once one reaches Foundation Establishment, one can barely utilize six of them, corresponding to six formidable powers in the darkness…"
Xie Mingxian was rapidly explaining Emperor Ye’s methods next to Meng Yu, and Emperor Ye didn’t stop him, simply watching quietly.
"Old Xie."
After Xie Mingxian finished explaining, Meng Yu suddenly spoke.
"May I borrow your body?"
Xie Mingxian was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what Meng Yu intended to do.
Being at the Eighth Layer, facing a Nascent Soul controlling Great Perfection, and without any special Magic Artifacts, he would indeed have to give it his everything.
"Thanks a lot!"
In reality, after he had been captured by Cao Defang’s men, he had now settled down and was leading everyone in securing important resources. So, what use was there in staying online? Might as well let Cao Defang make a cut—it would be a declaration of his loyalty!
"Okay!"
The next moment, Meng Yu’s Hundred Battle Blade drew an arc, falling like a crescent, splitting Xie Mingxian from head to toe. Yet, not a single drop of blood nor even flesh spilled; everything turned to ash except for a vivid red streak that appeared on the Hundred Battle Blade.
The blade shone RED, trembling slightly!
"Bring it on!"
...
Sleepless City.
With enough force, one could establish absolute order.
Many hadn’t heard this saying, but that didn’t prevent them from understanding the current situation.
A Golden Core could lord over everyone, ten Golden Cores dictated what was right, and a hundred Golden Cores—well, you just do whatever they say!
The power of the Eternal Night Palace crumbled swiftly, and various powers hung white flags on their doors, silently awaiting the victor’s plundering, with some even voluntarily packing their family’s spirit stone treasures into Storage Bags and instructing their most attractive men and women to wait by the door.
Hiding was futile, as was escaping; their only hope was for the mercy of the enemy—no, the Blood God Sect!
Of course, a few still harbored hope, knowing that two Nascent Soul Masters from the Eternal Night Palace were outside the city!
Although five Golden Cores with a legion of thousands of cultivators could withstand a Nascent Soul, and ten could decide life or death against a Nascent Soul Ancestor, the deterrence of a Golden Core Expert was immense. Moreover, with all their various Magical Treasures and subordinates, they were like the Sea-Calming Divine Needle!
"What?"
Someone looked up at the sky, noticing ten teams of Golden Core experts flying out of the city, leaving the law’s protection, heading further out.
"These Golden Cores really have such spirit, unafraid of sacrifices, unafraid of Nascent Souls!"
While ten Golden Cores could decide life or death against a Nascent Soul Expert, in regular skirmishes, fifteen Golden Cores might not necessarily stand a fifty-fifty chance against one Nascent Soul. Instead, the outcome often saw the Nascent Soul emerging completely victorious while the Golden Core experts scattered, each reluctant to be the sacrifice. Why confront head-on when the enemy’s methods were far too versatile?
Now, ten teams of Golden Core experts, twenty per group, charged out to search and destroy the two from the Eternal Night Palace within a radius of thousands of miles.
On paper, Cao Defang had the upper hand, but in reality, the dual Nascent Soul formation had a high chance of prevailing by splitting and conquering.
Could it be that Cao Defang was unaware that two Nascent Souls had arrived?
"I need to see Cao Defang!"
Dragon Maiden Ao Wu stopped a floating Golden Core and exclaimed loudly, "Your personnel are insufficient; at least thirty per group, and you need to add more quickly. You have never seen a Nascent Soul Expert in action; I have. Twenty per group against their pair won’t win, they really won’t win!"
She had always shown goodwill towards Cao Defang, and today’s shocking turnaround had stunned her. She had been as optimistic about Cao Defang as possible, but now that Cao Defang had made a mistake, she felt obliged to warn him.
As she finished speaking, Dragon Maiden recalled Meng Yu’s battles in the Minor World, defeating one cultivator legion after another—even though the enemy’s power on paper was invincible, the actual war was disastrously lost. She hoped that this time, Cao Defang wouldn’t make the same mistake.
Once one or two teams of Golden Cores were defeated, morale would plummet to rock bottom.
"Thank you!"
The Golden Core she had stopped nodded in appreciation, acknowledging her advice.
In the sky, teams of twenty Golden Cores each had already flown beyond the law’s control.
The vast and boundless continent spanning thousands of miles was the gambling table of life and death for the Golden Cores and Nascent Souls!
