Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

#841 - An unexpected twist

The three powerhouses of the Ancient Sanctification resided, their gazes fixed on the battle unfolding in the starry sky.

Currently, the illusory form of the Military Saint was temporarily held back, while Jun Wuxie faced the joint assault of the two Law Enforcement Elders, finding himself in dire straits, bleeding profusely, his face pale, and appearing extremely weak.

"Let's remain composed and refrain from intervening for now. If that Runemaster isn't with him, then I fear before the Military Saint's illusory form can break free, the two Law Enforcement Elders dispatched by the Eighth Ancestor will be able to suppress and kill Jun Wuxie in the starry sky!"

"Indeed, that way, we'll be spared the trouble of acting ourselves. After all, killing him would inevitably bring us some complications. Why not let someone else do the dirty work for us?"

While they were conversing, a formation diagram suddenly materialized in the starry sky, radiating brilliant light, enveloping the two Law Enforcement Elders who were besieging Jun Wuxie.

"The Runemaster! He truly was with Jun Wuxie. He finally couldn't resist making a move!"

Their pupils slightly contracted as they beheld an old man with white hair and beard, abruptly appearing at the edge of the battlefield in the starry sky. With a flick of his fingers, countless runes shot into the formation diagram.

Within the formation diagram, murderous runes surged, transforming into various weapons, launching a fierce and torrential assault on the two Law Enforcement Elders, keeping them occupied and forcing them to abandon their attack on Jun Wuxie, focusing instead on self-preservation.

Jun Wuxie and Ji Yinlan seized the opportunity to retreat behind the Runemaster, sitting cross-legged in the starry sky to heal their wounds.

"It seems we must intervene. Those Law Enforcement Elders won't be able to kill Jun Wuxie!"

"The three restraining the Military Saint's illusory form are on the verge of collapse. Within ten moves, they will likely be killed. Now that the Runemaster has appeared, those two will also be difficult to withstand!"

"Jun Wuxie is currently very weak. We must strike with a fatal blow!"

The three exchanged glances, their eyes filled with unwavering murderous intent.

"Let's go!"

They surged from the mountains outside the city towards the starry sky, reaching speeds of ten to twenty times the speed of light.

In an instant, they arrived in the starry sky, reaching the battlefield.

Terrifying killing intent swept through the area.

It was a white bone palm, conjured by the three powerhouses, adorned with mysterious runes, causing the beast bone to instantly enlarge, covering a vast expanse of the starry sky, violently suppressing Jun Wuxie and Ji Yinlan.

Rumble!

The starry sky covered by the white bone palm instantly annihilated, turning into a massive black hole, as if order itself had collapsed.

As the hand bone pressed down, energy intertwined with runes cascaded from between its fingers, causing Jun Wuxie and Ji Yinlan to pale.

The power of this white bone palm was extremely terrifying, even stronger than the secret techniques of those Law Enforcement Elders.

"Jun Wuxie, this shall be your burial ground. Accept your fate!"

The three powerhouses remotely channeled their true energy into the white bone palm with both hands, causing its power to continuously escalate. Beneath its cover, it was as if the heavens were collapsing, and energy cascaded like a massive waterfall.

Under the impact of this energy, Jun Wuxie and Ji Yinlan's movements were greatly restricted, as if Mount Tai were pressing down upon them. It was difficult to rely on speed to escape its coverage, so they had no choice but to raise their hands to the sky, forcibly resisting.

The white bone palm descended rapidly. The closer it got, the more formidable its suppressing power became, causing the stars and moons on the Qiankun Battle Armor to rapidly shatter.

"Fellow Daoists from the Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters, we will assist you in killing your target!"

Seeing that Jun Wuxie was already unable to escape, the three from the Ancient Sanctification immediately smiled and said to the five Law Enforcers who were battling the Military Saint's illusory form and the Runemaster.

"Thank you, the three of you. May we inquire as to who you are and why you are helping us?"

The two Elders who were fiercely battling the Runemaster asked.

"You are too kind. We are from the Ancient Sanctification. We share the same goal as you Daoists and can be considered like-minded. How could we stand idly by?"

"So, you are powerhouses from the Ancient Sanctification. Your purpose in coming here to kill Jun Wuxie is to prevent him from participating in the Heavenly Position Contention, correct?"

"Hehe, that is indeed the case!"

The three powerhouses from the Ancient Sanctification did not deny it. Since the target they were about to kill was about to die anyway, this matter could not be concealed at all, and the world would eventually know.

"The three of you have worked hard."

The two Law Enforcement Elders merged their secret techniques. With a loud bang, they forcibly broke a gap in the Runemaster's formation, instantly rushing near the three powerhouses from the Ancient Sanctification.

The three powerhouses were somewhat shocked. How could they have broken out of the formation so suddenly when they seemed so difficult to resist just now?

Just as the thought arose in their minds, before they could think about it carefully, they heard the two Law Enforcement Elders say, "The three of you, our people are about to be unable to withstand the Military Saint's illusory form. We will help you quickly kill Jun Wuxie!"

As they spoke, the two Law Enforcement Elders arrived behind two of the three powerhouses from the Ancient Sanctification.

The two suddenly felt their hairs stand on end, sensing danger. Before they could react, boom!

Two palms covered in secret technique runes heavily struck them.

"You!"

The powerhouse from the Ancient Sanctification who was not attacked was incomparably shocked and enraged, staring incredulously at the two Law Enforcement Elders.

The two who were attacked flew out like meteorites, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, their bones broken and tendons fractured, all their internal organs shattered. The parts that were struck were a bloody mess, and their torsos had completely cracked open, almost disintegrating.

"Fellow Daoists! What… do you mean… Pfft!"

The two powerhouses hurriedly used their true energy to forcibly bind their bodies, preventing disintegration, and swallowed pills containing life essence. While repairing their injured bodies, they glared at the two Law Enforcement Elders. As they spoke, blood spurted wildly from their mouths.

"Of course, it's to lure you into taking action and then kill you!"

The one who answered was not the two Law Enforcement Elders who launched the sneak attack, but the Law Enforcement Elder who was holding back the Military Saint's illusory form.

Their original wounded and weakened appearance was swept away, their vitality full, and the Military Saint's illusory form had already disappeared.

The three instantly entered the battlefield here, surrounding the three Elders of the Ancient Sanctification.

At this time, the white bone palm lacked the urging of two powerhouses. The remaining powerhouse could hardly exert its powerful power. It was supported in the air by Jun Wuxie's surging blood energy in his palms, and it was difficult to fall any further.

"Bastards!"

The three powerhouses from the Ancient Sanctification simply couldn't believe their ears.

"You… you actually betrayed the Eighth Ancestor, betrayed the Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters, and colluded with the boy named Jun?"

They were incomparably shocked and enraged. They had calculated everything, predicted every possibility, and made preparations, seized the opportunity, but they never expected that the Law Enforcement Elders would betray the Eighth Ancestor and join forces with Jun Wuxie!

"We have never considered ourselves to be the Eighth Ancestor's people, so how can there be betrayal?"

Xing Mengcheng's mature and beautiful face was full of coldness, and her beautiful eyes were full of contempt. "Speaking of despicable and shameless, in the vast starry sky, among the endless forces, how many can compare with your Ancient Sanctification? You can't afford to win, and you can't afford to lose. If you win, you will constantly mock the Ancient Academy of All Ages in the starry sky, with the face of a petty person. Now, you are afraid of losing to the Ancient Academy of All Ages, so you send people to intercept and kill Jun Shen before the war, but you say that Jun Shen is shameless. You are truly shameless to the extreme!"

"Hmph, what qualifications do you traitors have to say these things to us?" The powerhouse from the Ancient Sanctification laughed in anger: "You dare to betray the Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters, do you know what the consequences will be? Will the Eighth Ancestor let you go? Just wait to die!"

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that. Once we take that step, we will be fearless!"

"You traitors will surely be spurned by the world!"

"It is you who will be spurned."

Jun Wuxie stepped forward and slapped the face of the powerhouse from the Ancient Sanctification who was speaking, smashing half of his face into a bloody mess.

"You! !"

The powerhouse was so angry that he was about to explode on the spot.

Who were they? They were the Supreme Dharma Protectors of the Ancient Sanctification, and they were slapped in the face by a young Supreme Being!

"Boy, don't be arrogant, you will not live, your death is coming soon!"

"Is that so?" Jun Wuxie leaned close to their ears and whispered: "Are you referring to when you arrive at the Fallen Star Territory? Don't worry, I have already prepared a great gift, waiting for your people to appear."

"You…"

Hearing this, they had a bad premonition in their hearts. Their facial features twisted hideously as they struggled frantically, trying to break free from their restraints and send a message to the academy, but they failed to do so.

“Lord Divine King, just kill them directly. Don’t waste time on them,”

Xingmeng suggested.

“You’re right. Our time is precious, and we can’t waste it anymore.”

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, golden fingers shot out with terrifying sharpness. With a *poof* sound, he pierced the brow of the strong man in front of him, causing him to scream miserably as his soul collapsed.

Then, he attacked continuously, killing the remaining two people.

“I have a use for the corpses.”

After saying that, he took the bodies of the three powerhouses into his cave.

“Lord Divine King, the matter of Qingyi and the others……”

“Let’s leave here first!”

Jun Wuxie interrupted Xingmeng and activated the miniature teleportation array. Brilliant light emerged, enveloping everyone, forming a ball of light.

The ball of light rapidly shrunk and disappeared in a flash.

The starry sky dimmed.

The post station city was silent.

Only after a long time did the silence break, and the entire city was filled with noise, completely exploding.

“Lord Divine King is awesome! He can actually make the enforcement elders of the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters betray the Eight Ancestors and help him kill the powerhouses of the Universal Sage Ancient Clan!”

“I didn’t expect that things would end in such a way. Every time I thought Lord Divine King might be in a desperate situation, he could turn things around in an unimaginable way!”

“I said, how could Lord Divine King be so easily beaten until he was covered in blood!”

“Do you think that the Military Saint’s illusory body was real? It’s very similar to the images that came out of the Emperor Beginning Star. The appearance of the Military Saint in those images is exactly the same as that illusory body!”

“Nonsense, if it wasn’t exactly the same, could it have fooled those three old foxes of the Universal Sage Ancient Clan?”

“Now it seems that even if it looks the same, it’s probably really the Military Saint’s phantom. It should have been simulated by Lord Divine King using some means, just to deceive those three old foxes!”

“Tsk tsk, why do you think those enforcement elders would choose to betray the Eight Ancestors and help Lord Divine King?”

“Do you even need to ask? It must be because Lord Divine King’s personal charm is too great, otherwise how else can you explain it?”

“Heh heh, the Universal Sage Ancient Clan is famous this time, but unlike in the past, this time it’s not fame but notoriety!”

“That’s right, who would have thought they would be so despicable and shameless? If you can’t afford to lose, then don’t play. Just give up the qualifications for the Heavenly Position competition. To actually do something like this, it’s a disgrace!”

……

Countless people in the city were talking about it, it was a lively scene.

Many people recorded images, and there were even live broadcasts before. Now, countless people throughout the starry sky have witnessed this.

“How could this be?!”

In the city lord’s mansion, a group of high-level officials had extremely ugly expressions. The enforcement elders had actually collectively defected and colluded with that Jun Wuxie!

“Quick, report this matter to the Eight Ancestors!”

The city lord hurriedly urged the people around him.

Although he knew that the Eight Ancestors must already know about it, after all, there was a live broadcast before, but the Eight Ancestors knowing is one thing, and him reporting it is another. This is a matter of attitude, and he can’t be careless!

At the same time, in a region of the starry sky floating with fragments of stars.

Inside the space hidden by the array here, within the Universal Sage Ancient Clan, an old man sitting cross-legged in front of a cliff facing the sea of clouds, the muscles on his face twitched from time to time, his eyes were incomparably terrifying.

“Heavenly Ancestor Elder, this time we failed to succeed. We lost three Supreme Protectors. Should we continue to intercept and kill that Jun Wuxie next?”

Several people stood respectfully behind the old man.

“I miscalculated. Who would have thought that those enforcement elders would actually betray and collude with that little brat……” The old man slowly closed his eyes, his expression gradually calming down, and said calmly: “Now that we have taken action, the entire starry sky knows. Our Universal Sage Ancient Clan’s reputation is ruined. How can we let it be ruined for nothing? Jun Wuxie must be killed. Go prepare and take action before the Fallen Star Region.”

“Heavenly Ancestor Elder, how many people should we send?”

“Ten Supreme Protectors, and let a few Supreme Elders in the pinnacle realm of the Extreme Heavenly Position accompany them.”

“Heavenly Ancestor Elder, you are sending Supreme Elders in the pinnacle realm of the Extreme Heavenly Position, probably to prevent the Military Saint from appearing, right? But they are definitely not the Military Saint’s opponents. If the Military Saint really appears, wouldn’t we be losing top powerhouses for nothing? For the sake of the Heavenly Position Dao Fruit, this is not worth it at all!”

“Is this just about the Heavenly Position Dao Fruit?” The old man said in a deep voice: “We failed to kill Jun Wuxie, the Supreme Protectors were killed in retaliation, the entire starry sky is laughing at our Universal Sage Ancient Clan. If we don’t kill that little brat, where will the prestige of our Universal Sage Ancient Clan be? Accept this ancestor’s decree and go do it.”

“Yes!”

The few people respectfully saluted, holding the Heavenly Ancestor Elder’s decree that flew over with both hands, slowly retreated a few steps, and then turned and left.
