The Power of the Primordial Spirit condensed together without leaking the slightest bit, concentrating in one place like a sharp spike attacking him. Around him, the clouds were light and the breeze gentle, to the extent that even the river under his feet did not ripple in the slightest.
The Primordial Spirit was true and concentrated, returning to one place, each and every movement could move the power of heaven and earth, the ability of the gods.
This was precisely the Heavenly Human Realm of the Great Zhou Imperial Family’s Spirit Dao in the Four Directions Mortal World.
If he were to forcibly fight against Emperor Zhou, not to mention whether he could gain any advantage, the least that would happen was he wouldn’t be able to return to the Eight-layered Devil Realm safely. If the battle dragged on a bit longer, he might even be slain here.
At that time, it would truly be a case of ‘trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice.’
The thoughts of the man in white flickered like lightning and fire, and in his heart, he already harbored the intention to retreat.
With a wave of his hand, a crescent-shaped jade disk suddenly hovered in front of him, emitting a faint glow that enveloped him like tassels.
The divine attack, laden with the pure and vast power of the Primordial Spirit, when it struck his light shield, it was as if it encountered something extremely slippery and slid off without any force.
In a flash of lightning, Emperor Zhou’s expression remained unchanged, and he pointed his finger.
A speck of golden starlight shot from his fingertip.
It was tiny, like a grain of gold sand drifting away from between his fingers.
Deities appeared, their forms massive like mountains, radiating intense light, their dignified faces covered in flowing radiance, too dazzling to gaze upon directly, filled with majesty and sanctity.
He formed hand seals, and intense energy fluctuations suddenly surged around him, powerful currents spraying out from within his body like a galactic waterfall, tumultuous and surging.
Beams of divine light burst forth from his body, like brilliant stars falling from the heavens.
Upon seeing this, the man in white’s complexion changed drastically.
This Path of the Primordial Spirit, this might of deities, was enough to slay gods and exterminate immortals!
This Emperor Zhou doesn’t play by the rules of martial conduct, huh!
He didn’t even test the waters; he went straight for the kill from the start!?
The man in white desperately channeled the demonic power throughout his body, and a black saber formed from the turbulent demonic power instantly condensed in his hand, but with a “puff,” the divine form and his black saber merely touched, and after a chilling sound of explosion, not only the black saber but also his entire arm burst into indistinct fragments of flesh and bone, a horrific sight to witness!
At this moment, the man in white’s face was devoid of its usual composure, and sweat dripped like rain.
His Green Hill fox clan was originally not particularly skilled in offensive combat, and he had assumed that facing Emperor Zhou, even if he couldn’t gain the upper hand, he should at least be able to hold his own. But he didn’t expect Emperor Zhou’s cultivation strength to be so formidable.
“The royal bloodline of the Four Directions Mortal World is indeed impressive,” he said.
The man in white took a deep breath, and while his shattered arm wasn’t visibly healing to the naked eye, it did quickly stop bleeding and began to close the wound.
His strength was actually not weak, and he could even fight against ordinary Heavenly Human Realm martial artists, but he never expected to be no match for Emperor Zhou within a few exchanges.
The royal bloodline of the Four Directions Mortal World…
Those who step into the Heavenly Human Realm with Spirit Dao are not ordinary in strength.
“Emperor Zhou, can we let this matter go?” the man in white waved his hand, and his robe returned to its pristine state, he looked toward Emperor Zhou who stood out of nowhere in the distance, his dignified expression like that of a deity, and he asked with a smile and in a soft voice.
“Even though I have stepped into your Great Zhou, I haven’t caused any significant incidents, and you haven’t suffered any losses. Can’t we just let bygones be bygones?”
Emperor Zhou faced the man in white’s words with no excessive reaction. The faint light enveloped him, making it impossible to discern Emperor Zhou’s expression.
“End it yourself. Since you’ve trespassed into my Great Zhou, this matter cannot be let go. You’re at least a Devil Emperor; I’ll allow you to end your life here. If I have to take action, your spirit and form will be completely destroyed.”
Upon hearing this, the man in white’s mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn’t help but retreat step by step.
His mentality was no longer as composed as it was at the beginning, and his mind began to curse silently.
He truly did not know how Emperor Zhou had discovered his location.
From the start, their plan was executed perfectly. Logically, even Emperor Zhou shouldn’t have been able to detect his presence so quickly.
The group of devils hidden in the canal had been strictly controlled by him. Except for the time when some of the Devil Clan went out to assassinate the Princely Heir of Duke Zhen’s Mansion to attract Cheng Zhihai’s attention, at no other time were they supposed to be discernible under their concealment.
It should’ve been impossible for them to be detected.
The man in white couldn’t understand!
His mind then flashed to a thought—could it be that a member of the Human Race leaked their whereabouts??
No…
It shouldn’t be the case; that human had already been at odds with Emperor Zhou long before he colluded with the Devil Clan.
It was impossible for him to betray them.
So how did Emperor Zhou suddenly discover them and pinpoint their location so accurately??
The man in white had always thought of himself as a Devil Emperor, smarter than the vast majority of the Devil Clan, but at this moment, he found that his brain was not quite functioning well enough.
He just couldn’t figure it out.
How Emperor Zhou had discovered their whereabouts.
And as Emperor Zhou closed in step by step,
The man in white felt a headache coming on but showed no excessive panic. He took a jade disk from within his bosom with one hand, and the jade disk began to spin rapidly around him, casting thousands of lights.
