Above Junshan City, the two supreme Divine Emperors—the Shadowfiend Sect Master and the City Lord of Wuzhe—were fleeing in opposite directions! The City Lord of Wuzhe had transformed into a misty venomous dragon, a form nearly indestructible, yet he was deeply wary of Dongbo Xueying: “This Flying Snow Divine Emperor is terrifying. If his soul techniques were just slightly stronger, I’d be doomed. I must flee—the farther, the better!”
After all, they had come to ambush the Flying Snow Divine Emperor. Having provoked such a formidable enemy, it was only natural to hide as far away as possible.
*Whoosh!*
The Shadowfiend Sect Master accelerated to his utmost speed. “With my agility, the Flying Snow Divine Emperor will never catch me. Hmm? No—!”
In the blink of an eye, the Shadowfiend Sect Master had already flown past Junshan City’s walls, heading toward the wilderness beyond. But his expression suddenly twisted in horror—a black rift tore open in the air ahead, and a white-robed Dongbo Xueying stepped out, directly blocking his path.
“You won’t escape,” Dongbo Xueying said coldly.
“Ultra-long-range teleportation?!” The Shadowfiend Sect Master paled.
In the entire Divine Realm, those capable of such feats could be counted on one hand. Could the Flying Snow Divine Emperor truly do it too?
Furious and terrified, the Shadowfiend Sect Master swerved to flee in another direction.
*Boom!*
Dongbo Xueying didn’t even bother drawing his spear. With a mere press of his right hand, the void ahead compressed like paper. Though the Shadowfiend Sect Master’s soul was constantly dragged by the immense illusory world, his physical resilience allowed him to resist the spatial pressure.
*Crack—* The flattened space finally shattered.
But by then, Dongbo Xueying was already before him.
“Wait!” the Shadowfiend Sect Master hastily shouted.
“Hmm?” Dongbo Xueying actually paused.
“This time, we were misled by Beihe into ambushing you. We were wrong,” the Shadowfiend Sect Master said quickly. “I am willing to offer reparations to settle this matter. What do you say?”
The Shadowfiend Sect Master was a towering figure, his body covered in dark-red membranes, draped in a massive blood-red cloak, his crimson eyes gleaming with menace. Known throughout the Divine Realm for his brutality, here he was, humbly bowing in apology—a sight rarely seen.
“Reparations?” Dongbo Xueying smirked. “State your terms.”
He knew well—
The Shadowfiend Sect Master was no ordinary supreme Divine Emperor. His body was too tough, his speed too great. To restrain him, Dongbo Xueying would need large-scale techniques, but such attacks barely harmed his physique. Even if he closed in for a decisive strike, the Shadowfiend Sect Master’s speed would let him escape after a few exchanges.
*To kill him would take at least a hundred strikes… and he’s too slippery for continuous attacks.*
Slaying him would require at least the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
And if the Shadowfiend Sect Master saw no hope of survival, he might just take all of Junshan City’s inhabitants with him in his rage.
Unlike what others might assume—that a supreme expert like Dongbo Xueying would be indifferent to the weak—he had no wish to see innocents perish. Though he could save a few, like his disciple, the rest of the city would be beyond his reach.
“Treasures worth fifty thousand Hunyuan Crystals,” the Shadowfiend Sect Master offered with a slight bow. “I will present them to resolve this.”
“Your life is worth so little? And you came here to kill me,” Dongbo Xueying countered. “One hundred thousand Hunyuan Crystals, and this ends.”
The Shadowfiend Sect Master’s eyes gleamed—he had expected the Flying Snow Divine Emperor to demand a steep price. One hundred thousand was within his means. “Agreed. And… the City Lord of Wuzhe also wishes to settle his grudge with you. Would you permit it?”
“The City Lord of Wuzhe?” Dongbo Xueying glanced at the distant misty venomous dragon, now hovering outside the city, watching intently.
Even he couldn’t kill Wuzhe easily. If the City Lord sought reconciliation, it meant he had been thoroughly intimidated.
For ages, Wuzhe had never faced death’s threat—his mist-dragon form made him invincible beneath the three Primordial Ancestors. But Dongbo Xueying’s soul techniques had brought him to the brink. If they grew just slightly stronger, Wuzhe would perish.
Even if he escaped now, future progress by Dongbo Xueying could doom him. A life of fear was unbearable—if peace could be bought, he would pay.
“Very well. What can he offer?” Dongbo Xueying asked.
*Whoosh!*
The misty venomous dragon swiftly approached.
—
High above, the City Lord of Wuzhe and the Shadowfiend Sect Master spoke deferentially, negotiating reparations with Dongbo Xueying.
Meanwhile, within Junshan City—
Yufeng Junshan, Yufeng Lei, Yufeng Qingyin, and even the Tianxin Tower’s Tower Master Xing were stunned.
“Heavens…”
“Three supreme Divine Emperors ambushed the Flying Snow Divine Emperor… and were crushed?”
“One against three… and he defeated them all?”
“Am I seeing this right?”
It was beyond belief.
Of the three supreme Divine Emperors, one—the mysterious Beihe Divine Emperor—had fled. The other two were now humbly offering reparations.
This wasn’t just a defeat.
In the Divine Realm, battles between supreme Divine Emperors often ended in stalemates. Even in defeat, they rarely bowed or apologized—only the Cloud Phoenix City Lord commanded such respect. Yet here, both the Shadowfiend Sect Master and the City Lord of Wuzhe were submitting.
“Even the City Lord of Wuzhe is yielding? He’s supposed to be unkillable!” Many were dumbfounded.
“Just how strong *is* the Flying Snow Divine Emperor?”
“How can he be this powerful?”
A single man had defeated three supreme Divine Emperors—and frightened two into submission.
“Such a powerhouse… was hiding in *our* Junshan City?” Yufeng Junshan couldn’t believe it.
“In the entire Divine Realm, only the Cloud Phoenix City Lord, ranked first on the Divine Emperor Ranking, could achieve such a feat,” Yufeng Lei murmured in awe. “And this man… took Third Sister as his disciple?”
On the corridors of Flying Snow Manor, Yufeng Qingyin stood frozen.
She had been terrified for her master’s safety, especially when three supreme Divine Emperors attacked. But what followed left her speechless.
“My master… my master is…” She couldn’t process it.
“His strength must at least place him second on the Divine Emperor Ranking,” Tower Master Xing muttered, hastily recording everything. “Whether he surpasses the Cloud Phoenix City Lord would require a direct clash. He might even dethrone her as number one!”
The Divine Emperor Ranking’s top spot… changing hands?
Tower Master Xing could hardly believe he was witnessing such a historic battle.
—
As the news spread, shockwaves rippled across the Divine Realm. While Divine Lords were astounded, even supreme Divine Emperors were left reeling.
One against three?
Defeating three supreme Divine Emperors? Forcing the Shadowfiend Sect Master and the City Lord of Wuzhe to beg for mercy?
“Quickly! Where’s the battle footage?”
Powerhouses everywhere demanded recordings—available only for purchase from Tianxin Tower.
Tower Master Xing had every reason to be proud.
The footage he captured would be scrutinized by countless experts. Tianxin Tower profited handsomely—though the earnings were trivial compared to the event’s significance.
Even the three Royal Clans were stirred.
