Invincible Dad-Chapter 554 554: All Style, No Substance_1
Elder Huang Quan, who had once clashed fiercely with Xu Lai, had also appeared in secret to observe the battle between Shang Yuan and Xu Lai!
His eyes were slightly narrowed, however, and his expression was one of pure gloating.
"To think a son of the Emperor Realm was overlooked. It's truly a shame to miss such a delicacy."
Elder Huang Quan sat on a bamboo boat, where three jet-black crows were perched. They all had three eyes and were tilting their heads, staring indifferently at the two combatants.
More accurately, the Three-eyed Crows were staring directly at Shang Yuan, cawing away.
"Be quiet." A piece of bamboo appeared in Elder Huang Quan's hand, and he tapped the three crows lightly with it. "The Emperor of this era is quite formidable. It would be troublesome if he discovered us."
Though he said this, there was not the slightest sign of worry on his face. Instead, he looked delighted to be watching the spectacle.
"Great Emperor Youming carried away the gate, and Great Emperor Qingfeng was even more ruthless—he carried away the gatekeeper of the Mass Burial Mound. Such astonishing divine power," Elder Huang Quan mumbled to himself. "Forty-three eons ago, Great Emperor Yin Yang found the one and only Tree of Eternal Life, sealed his offspring, and left behind the key. Tell me, do you think he knew something?"
CAW! CAW! CAW!
One crow cocked its head and began flapping its wings, as if it wanted to rush toward Shang Yuan. But Elder Huang Quan caught its wing and tossed it back onto the bamboo boat.
"Stay put and enjoy the show."
Elder Huang Quan cracked a sinister grin, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.
...
「Not far from where Elder Huang Quan was hiding.」
Qing Yuan stood calmly in the void. Her beautiful hair was pinned up with a hairpin, and she wore a flowing green gown, exuding the ethereal aura of a classical fairy who had stepped out of a painting.
A graceful silhouette drifted over. This silhouette had twelve transparent, illusory wings. She was the Twelve-winged Archangel Anna, one of the Domain Masters of the Western Immortal Domain.
"Where did a Quasi-Emperor at the Nine Heavens pop out from?" Anna asked.
The curvaceous Anna was dressed in a women's black suit and a pair of high heels. She pinched her chin and mused, "The Immortal Domain has been restless lately. It feels like all sorts of monsters and ghouls are crawling out of the woodwork."
Qing Yuan glanced at Anna before looking away. The latter, however, smiled and said, "What do you think of my outfit? I think The Supreme Emperor might fancy this style. I just bought the whole set on Earth. Unfortunately, when I called him last night, his sister-in-law answered."
"Not bad," Qing Yuan said calmly.
"Give me some more details," Anna said, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
"Although I don't really get it, it inexplicably has a hint of that Fox Coquette from Qingqiu. Xu Qingfeng will like it."
"..."
Anna pursed her lips. "Your tongue is as sharp as ever." Her eyes twinkled. "That Quasi-Emperor has an Emperor Artifact, and the Yin Yang Laws revolve around him. Could he be a descendant of the Great Emperor Yin Yang?"
Fairy Qing Yuan didn't respond.
Though she had just arrived, she had been thinking the same thing as Anna.
After all, the Yin Yang Clan barely ranked in the top ten of the racial leaderboards nowadays, and their strongest member was only a Quasi-Emperor at the second heaven. Yet, this individual who had suddenly appeared was at the Nine Heavens, a Boundary that made him arguably the strongest person beneath the Emperor Realm!
But Qing Yuan also harbored doubts.
Logically, a cultivator sealed within a Dao Endowment, regardless of their race or Boundary, would lose ten percent of their lifespan for every eon they were sealed. Therefore, sleeping within a Dao Endowment for ten eons was already the limit!
Yet, this Quasi-Emperor of the Yin Yang Clan seemed to be brimming with vitality, showing no signs of having lost any of his lifespan. If he truly were a being from forty eons ago, he would have long since died in the river of time.
It was no wonder the two Domain Masters were unaware. After all, the Tree of Eternal Life had never appeared in the Immortal Domain, nor were there any records of it. If the Heavenly Dao hadn't let it slip, Xu Lai would never have known either.
At this moment, Shang Yuan's face was ferocious as he faced Xu Lai, who wanted to kill him and search his soul. The descendant of a Great Emperor roared in absolute rage, "You forced my hand!"
Shang Yuan fiercely bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood that merged into the Yin Yang Divine Bow in his hands.
This Great Emperor's Weapon was now fully awakened!
BOOM!
The heavens seemed about to collapse under the weapon's oppressive might.
Qing Yuan and Anna's expressions changed drastically. They hastily brought out their Quasi-Emperor Artifacts to stabilize the surrounding laws of space, resisting the spread of the Emperor Artifact's pressure. Otherwise, this place would have collapsed in an instant, becoming a dead Star Domain that might not recover even after dozens or even hundreds of eons!
Anna was very worried. Although this place was countless light-years away from the Western Immortal Domain, who knew where the battlefield might shift? With a Boundary of the Nine Heavens of the Quasi-Emperor, he could reach the Western Immortal Domain with just a few dozen spatial shifts.
The battlefield had to be contained here!
Aside from Anna and Qing Yuan, even Divine General Taotie appeared to help stabilize the battlefield, fearing it might affect the not-so-distant Earth.
Thus, although the Emperor Artifact's pressure burst forth, it was well-contained and did not spread too far.
This scene made Shang Yuan's mouth curve into a cold sneer. "Ridiculous. You have no idea how terrifying a true Emperor Artifact can be!"
Shang Yuan looked at Xu Lai, who was only half a step away. That ordinary-looking finger was about to pierce the center of his brow. Without a miracle, he would be obliterated in body and soul the next instant!
But Shang Yuan wasn't panicked. Instead, he suddenly pulled the bowstring.
Countless Yin Yang Laws wrapped around him, and he vanished on the spot, reappearing a hundred miles away.
"A Great Emperor's Array Patterns," Xu Lai mused, his brow furrowing slightly.
Many cultivators chose to add array patterns or special materials when engaging in Artifact Refining, hoping to catch their opponents off guard. But Xu Lai had always believed that a sword was a sword, a saber was a saber, a bow was a bow, and a formation could only be a formation. Two inherently different things should never be mixed. It was better to master one discipline than to dabble in many. This was the very principle of the so-called 'Great Dao lies in simplicity.'
Xu Lai just hadn't expected that the Great Emperor Yin Yang, despite reaching the Emperor Realm, had failed to see this. It was slightly disappointing. Adding useless array patterns to an Emperor Artifact was simply ostentatious.
Shang Yuan, who had fled a hundred miles away, felt a surge of admiration. My father is truly worthy of being a Great Emperor! This single arrangement of array patterns allowed me to escape a situation of certain death. How formidable!
He hooked the bowstring and, in the span of a single breath, drew it over ten thousand times.
Eleven thousand, one hundred and eleven arrows shot forth, forming a massive Yin Yang Dao Diagram in midair.
Shifting between black and white and carrying the thunderous roar of the Great Dao, it pressed down on Xu Lai, seeming to want to grind its enemy into nothingness!
"This Yin Yang Dao Diagram is one of the strongest Divine Skills of my Yin Yang Clan. Its cycle of life and death can plunge any living being into eternal damnation!" Shang Yuan said with a cold smile on his face. "Using an Emperor Artifact to cast the Yin Yang Dao Diagram will make you lose your mind, no matter how peerless an Emperor you are. So just accept your death."
The moment he finished speaking, Shang Yuan gripped the bowstring again, waiting for the instant Xu Lai lost his sanity to unleash his killing blow.
Xu Lai watched the descending Yin Yang Dao Diagram. In the hazy distortion, the world seemed to turn upside down, and everything in his vision twisted, yet his expression remained unchanged.
"Flashy, but useless."
With only those words, he threw a punch.
