Still holding a wine cup and sitting aside moments ago, Dongbo Xueying exhaled and vanished into thin air.
After two consecutive space teleportations, he had already arrived in the midair outside Yifeng Prefecture. The approaching visitor’s identity was unknown; if it were an enemy, the entire city housed millions of mortals, and within the mansion were his close friends and Jingqiu. Dongbo Xueying would never allow this powerful aura to approach unchecked.
Standing midair, Dongbo Xueying, dressed in black, frowned, his eyes cold as he stared ahead. He raised his hand and fired a crimson wisp of fiery combat energy, imbued with ultimate piercing intent, directly at the powerful aura already within dozens of miles, which was in the process of spatial penetration.
“Tearing~~~” The red-hot combat energy forcibly tore through that space, forcing the intruder out.
Dongbo Xueying didn’t know the identity of the visitor, so he held back his strength. The combat energy was mainly meant to tear space and force the enemy to reveal himself.
“Hahaha…” An evil laugh echoed through the surrounding heavens and earth, and at the same time, three figures appeared.
An elderly man in black robes holding a bone staff, a tall thin man in a cold expression wearing cyan leather armor, and a violet-haired woman who was laughing with sinister glee.
Buzz!
The old man in black robes smiled slightly at Dongbo Xueying, and an invisible ripple instantly covered an area of two hundred miles around. To be precise, it was a massive spherical space centered on the old man himself, extending a hundred miles in all directions. This vast area was completely enveloped and isolated.
…
Meanwhile, Puyang Bo, Yu Feng, Zhang Peng, Yuan Qing—those who had been drinking and chatting with Dongbo Xueying—and Xidong and Yu Jingqiu, who were nearby, were all transcendents. They immediately noticed Dongbo Xueying’s teleportation and looked outward instinctively, each possessing extraordinary vision, instantly spotting Dongbo Xueying in his black robes hovering in the sky outside the city.
“What happened to Dongbo? Why did he leave all of a sudden?” Zhang Peng and the others were baffled. Their strength wasn’t enough to detect the powerful being performing spatial traversal hundreds of miles away.
“This doesn’t seem right.”
“Master Xue.” Yu Jingqiu stood up immediately.
Each of them felt puzzled, even vaguely uneasy.
They watched as Dongbo Xueying in the sky waved his hand and fired a wisp of transcendental combat energy that instantly tore through space dozens of miles away, causing three figures to appear!
“Elder Orland! Qingyan King!” Yu Jingqiu, Puyang Bo, Yu Feng, and others all changed expressions.
Elder Orland, ranked third on the Half-God List! The supreme leader of the Wuspirit Temple.
Qingyan King, ranked fourth on the Half-God List, the sovereign of the deep-sea magical beasts!
These two were the most powerful among the known magical beast clans. Though they didn’t recognize the violet-haired woman, since she appeared alongside Elder Orland and Qingyan King, she must also be formidable! With these three supreme experts appearing outside Yifeng City, how could Yu Jingqiu and the others not be shocked and fearful?
“Master Chen!”
“Master Chen, there are magical beast experts here! It’s Elder Orland, Qingyan King, and an unknown violet-haired woman.”
“It seems they’re targeting Junior Master Xue.”
They anxiously sent messages upward one after another.
Yu Jingqiu was especially anxious, her face turning pale. Puyang Bo instinctively crushed the cup in his hand. He had just returned alive from hell and certainly didn’t want to see his good brother—who had also saved him from hell—facing any trouble.
But no matter how anxious they were, they could only watch helplessly, for beings of this level were beyond their ability to interfere.
…
“Hmm?”
Dongbo Xueying’s expression changed. Seeing Elder Orland and Qingyan King shocked him, yet he remained calm. However, when a space spanning two hundred miles was completely isolated from the outside, Dongbo Xueying truly sensed danger.
He sensed the Void Realm.
Normally, he could sense a range of five hundred miles within the Void Realm, but now he could only perceive the isolated two-hundred-mile range. Beyond that? He couldn’t sense anything at all!
A mighty force had completely sealed off the interior and exterior.
“Hu.”
Dongbo Xueying’s figure twisted and instantly vanished.
Walking through the Void Realm…
Dongbo Xueying attempted to fly beyond the isolated two-hundred-mile range, but an invisible barrier prevented him from penetrating it. He performed two consecutive teleportations to another edge of the two-hundred-mile range, trying desperately to break through and drill outward! He even used the Starstone Fire Cloud Spear, thrusting the long spear forward with all his might, imbued with ultimate piercing subtlety.
Chi~~~
The invisible barrier was extremely resilient, easily withstanding Dongbo Xueying’s spear strike.
“Blocked? Trapped?” Dongbo Xueying looked outward.
Outside the Void Realm, Elder Orland and the others remained calm. Elder Orland even instructed, “Qingyan King, Empress, you two watch here first. I’ll set up a formation. It won’t take long before the Xia Clan’s Half-Gods arrive.”
“Go ahead, go ahead,” the violet-haired woman waved carelessly.
Elder Orland didn’t mind. He easily passed through the barrier as if it posed no hindrance whatsoever. Then, Elder Orland began deploying formations around the area. One by one, pre-prepared formation artifacts were thrown out, instantly forming massive formations around. As the formations were activated, a thunderous rumble shook the heavens and earth, lightning surged, and as the formations were set down, even Yifeng Prefecture was affected.
Boom~~~ Lightning and flames struck Yifeng Prefecture, causing the city walls to collapse. Some mortals instantly turned to ashes, while others fled in terror, screaming in panic. They all looked fearfully toward the massive formation outside the city.
The formation, larger than the entire city itself, was continuously expanding.
Visibly, it was mainly composed of lightning and flames! The high sky changed colors, clouds gathered above, black clouds swirling, countless lightning bolts accumulating.
“You’re very confident.”
Dongbo Xueying emerged from the Void Realm, standing in the real world, facing these people. The moment he encountered the enemy, he had already sent a message to Master Chen and the others. Now, he would stall for time, hoping more Xia Clan Half-Gods would arrive.
“Of course confident,” the violet-haired woman smiled seductively.
“Just now, Elder Orland addressed you as Empress, but even I, Dongbo Xueying, who prides himself on being well-informed, have never heard of you among the Xia Clan world,” Dongbo Xueying said. “Nor have I heard of anyone bearing the title of Empress.”
The violet-haired woman smiled proudly. “It’s an honor for me to appear personally and reveal my identity to deal with you. You should feel proud. I bet you can guess who I am!” She casually flicked her finger. Her fingers were razor-sharp, her nails extraordinarily long, longer than her entire fingers. The tips of her nails had countless white threads, each thread seemingly composed of countless tiny filaments entwined together, clearly extremely tough.
Seeing those white threads, Dongbo Xueying’s expression changed: “You’re the Spider Queen!”
The magical beast clan.
Some were born with immense power, such as dragons! The dragon clan was the most famous, with various kinds of dragons. Besides them, there were some extremely rare magical beasts whose talents surpassed even dragons, but these were so rare that they were seldom born, perhaps once every ten thousand years or so.
The ‘Spider Queen’ was one of them, an exceptionally unique magical beast. She was the most terrifying ruler among the known spider clan magical beasts!
Once the Spider Queen evolved successfully, merely by her terrifying talent, she could rank among the top five on the Half-God List! Her talent far surpassed that of the deep-sea magical beast king beside her. That king relied more on cultivation, while the Spider Queen achieved such power purely through her innate talent!
“Never thought that in this era, the magical beast clan could still have a Spider Queen.” Dongbo Xueying sneered. “And she had been hiding all along. I must be really important. Forcing the Spider Queen to reveal herself, personally taking action, alongside Elder Orland, ranked third on the Half-God List, and Qingyan King, ranked fourth, joining forces.”
As he spoke, he deliberately stalled for time. Currently, he only had the Golden Being and the Cyan Guard with him. Fighting these two to a stalemate would be the best outcome. There was no hope of defeating them. So he preferred to stall for more time.
“Kekeke…” The Spider Queen laughed proudly, seemingly not minding the wasted time.
This made Dongbo Xueying even more uneasy.
His ultimate piercing intent had already been exposed during the last attack on the demon lair! The Void Realm intent, seeing how the opponent could specifically counter it, indicated they were prepared!
Now, they were letting him stall for time. Were they fools? Wasn’t Elder Orland and the others cunning old hands?
Their calm and confidence suggested they must have complete assurance!
