Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled!

"Who dares?!" Fei Jin Fang bellowed out in rage as his aura exploded on the spot, unleashing the might of a true Nascent Soul realm expert at the Pinnacle stage!

To think that someone dared to humiliate his Emperor like that when he was tasked to guard the Emperor's dignity and honor..

That was a direct slap to his face!

Unforgivable!!

Kacha! Kacha!

The ground quaked as the air seethed incessantly, while the floor tiles began to crack one after another!

The crowd that did not practice cultivation was immediately pressed onto the ground firmly by this invisible pressure, causing them to cry out in panic!

In fact, this pressure was so great that even cultivators alike found the air around them to be extremely heavy that it was hard for them to move, such that only those above the Core Formation realm could remain standing properly, albeit the overbearing sensation made their breathing a little haggard.

It was as the saying goes, "When the weather is nice, everyone will smile. But when the sky is angry, even the earth will tremble!"

The Emperor extended his Soul Sense to scan everyone, and after finding that the location of the voice was not within the masses, his brows furrowed together.

"Who is out there? Come out." the Emperor said with an indifferent voice, unleashing his own presence as well as he stood up from his throne.

Brrr!!

As of this moment, it was as if the previous peaceful atmosphere was suddenly turned into that of a battlefield during war!

Do you think that you can hide from me forever after mocking me like that?

The resounding laughter from before once again echoed in their surroundings.

"Hmph! Your filthy eyes are not worthy enough to bask upon my existence." the voice said haughtily.

Hearing this, Fei Jin Fang gritted his teeth and bellowed out once more, "Damn it! If you have the b*lls to say such garbage to the Emperor, why don't you show yourself you coward!"

"Come out you bastard!" the other Titled Knights in golden armors also roared out as they each brandished their silver sword, looking for the person that was courting death!

Each of them were peerless experts and talented geniuses with backstories that could be compiled into story books for the children, and they weren't afraid of anything that dared to sully the Emperor and the royal family!

The voice was about to boast once more but went silent for a while after his words were drowned amidst the constant curse and slur words being thrown out by Fei Jin Fang and the lot like a pack of barbaric savages and hoodlums.

Unable to hold himself any further, an annoyed snort could be heard.

"Ants, know your place!" the voice harrumphed.

BOOMM!!

As if the whole sky was falling apart, a tremendous aura poured down onto the masses below, causing everyone to spurt out blood!

Psshh!!

The felt as though they were being submerged into the extreme depths of the ocean, where the tremendous pressure caused their lungs to rupture and blood to seep out from their mouth!

Accompanied by this disdainful snort was an immeasureable force that pressed Fei Jin Fang and the other Titled Knights onto the ground, such that they could no longer stand on their two feet and was forced to kneel!

Crack!

"Arghh!!" Fei Jin Fang and his subordinates gritted their teeth as they felt a few of their ribs began to shatter one by one when they tried to forcefully stand up!

It felt as though a giant mountain was sitting right on top of their head, and no matter what means they used to stand up, they couldn't even budge an inch!

Seeing this, the Emperor widened his eyes in shock!

One has to know that Fei Jin Fang and his realm were both equal, and although he has more formidable skill arts to gain the upper hand in battle being the Emperor, in terms of presence, the other party was not any lesser than him!

Yet, Fei Jin Fang was still forced to kneel before the voice's presence!

What does this mean?

This means that the owner of the voice has an ever higher cultivation realm than them!

"It cannot be... an Immortal?" the Emperor thought in his mind as his face changed color.

Above the Nascent Soul realm Pinnacle stage was the Immortal Ascension realm, where one had successfully undo the first shackle of a mortal, thus known as the Escaping mortality realm!

"But how can that be? I thought that no Immortal should be able to exist on the Tian continent!" He thought with a grim expression.

According to Duan Li's hypothesis that he heard before, the Tian continent does not allow one to ascend beyond the Nascent Soul realm Pinnacle stage in their cultivation.

To do that, one has to go to another dimensional plane where the law does not apply, and the Eternal Maze was one of this place!

However, if Nascent Soul realm experts were to enter the Eternal Maze, then they would have to face insurmountable trial to ascend to immortality! Even if they were successful, unless one managed to cultivate all the way to the Omnipresence realm state, then one will never have the chance to step foot in the Tian continent again!

Upon recalling this, the Emperor's expression turned more pale.

This person must be of the Omnipresence realm state!

"Every single one of you is but an ant, if not for the laws in place, I would have massacred you all with a single breath of mine!" the voice spoke out with an overbearing tone.

"However, do not test my patience. Even the heavens will not be able to help you today should you continue to draw upon my wrath!" the voice continued.

While everyone was trying to find the source of the voice, Duan Li has already locked his eyes to the person in question.

It was the very same figure that was floating above them right now with his hands clasped behind his back!

His aura appeared to be extremely lofty and he donned a peculiar white robe, as if belonging to a certain bizarre cult somewhere.

From his facial appearance, one could see that this figure was about 50 years old with the wrinkles and white beard on his face.

However, except for Duan Li, no one appeared to be able to see him!

"What's going on? Why can't they see him?" he thought in his mind, feeling perplexed.

Duan Li also felt like the voice from this figure was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he last heard this voice from!

This figure then descended from the air slowly before landing on the ground. Still, no one was able to see him, as if his very existence was shrouded with a mysterious energy that made him invisible to others!

"I have to applaud you though for being able to convince the crowd like that. You Emperor of the Ants have your own way with words I see!" this figure that was now standing on the ground between the elevated platform and the square chuckled.

Hearing this, the Emperor narrowed his eyes, "It was you that spread those rumors?"

If it really was the other party, it made sense how they weren't able to capture him despite using all their resources!

The other party was an Immortal!

"Indeed, it was I. But you dared to interrupt my entertainment? I was hoping to see chaos in this empire, as it would be a fun sight to enjoy, seeing ants killing each other with their meager power!" the figure replied, his voice was full of disdain and mockery.

The Emperor gritted his teeth and clenched his fist tight, anger and rage was boiling inside him!

However, he suppressed his inner emotions before asking, "You are an immortal, this is not your place to be! Why have you come to disturb us!?"

The figure was visibly stunned when he heard this. To think that the other party realized that he was an immortal!

But... why does it feels like the other party was talking to him as if he was an evil spirit?

This damned ant!

"Oh? So you know of immortals... Interesting!" he replied with a slight chuckle before continuing, "Now that you know, do you think that you are qualified to make demands from me?"

"Hehehe... HAHAHA! If I were to order you all to die, you all should be obedient while feeling honored instead as the instruction came from an exalted being like me!" The voice's laugh contorted into a high pitch.

"Kuh.. this guy is a lunatic.. there is no way out for this!" the Emperor gritted his teeth and felt bad premonition.

If the other party was a reasonable expert, he could try to at least speak his way into it, but words were useless against a mad man!

"Fortunately, I am here today for a different agenda. Otherwise, this empire is already finished. I came for the boy." the voice finally revealed its intentions.

"The boy? You can't mean..." the Emperor, Fei Jin Fang, and some other people that managed to catch on the meaning behind those words, widened their eyes in horror.

If an immortal that was not supposed to be here made all his way to the Tian continent to look for a single boy..

There there was only one person that appeared in their mind..

He was looking for Duan Li!

"No! You can't take him away! The Tian continent needs him!" the Emperor immediately bellowed out as he activated all of his powerful skill arts, causing his battle prowess to increase dramatically!

However, despite using all his means, he still wasn't able to budge from his standing position!

"No! What should I do? I cannot let him take Duan Li away! The Tian continent will no longer have any future by then!" the Emperor brainstormed his mind as sweat were pouring out of his forehead.

"Useless struggle." the figure turned around as he lost interest with the Emperor and approached Duan Li.

It was at this moment that Duan Li could finally see his face clearly, amidst the hooded robe, wrinkled face and white beard, this old man has the eyes of a goat!

"No! Don't you dare take him away! Over my dead body!" the Emperor continued to increase his battle prowess exponentially past his limits as blood began to drip out from his nose!

"Shut up! Slave, deal with him!" the figure was annoyed before he waved his right hand to summon up a portal that seemed to be connected to the void.

Wengg!!

With it, came out a figure that made most of the experts there gasped.

That man...

"Cao Tengfei!"

This was the Dark Sect member that suddenly disappeared a while ago just before his life was about to be ended by Duan Li!

"Yes, Master!" Cao Tengfei cast a wrathful glance towards Duan Li. He then turned around and walked forward to the Emperor with a blade by his hand!

Seeing this, everyone was riled up!

"No! Don't you dare lay your hands on the Emperor!" Fei Jin Fang and all the Titled Knights summoned up all their power as they began to bleed out from their seven orifices.

"Ants! In front of an Immortal like me, who has already ascended into the Omnipresence realm state that your puny senses couldn't even began to fathom, let alone being able to see my majestic figure, you all dare to become disobedient?!!" the figure lashed out.

"I am your go-" before he could even finish his sentence, intending to say 'god', a resounding 'Pah!' sound reverberated across the tense atmosphere, causing everything to become silent.

Even Cao Tengfei halted his footsteps with widened eyes, his expression was in utter shock!

The owner of the voice could be seen spinning in the air like a drill before landing on the ground face first.

Bam!

His invisible ability was undone, revealing his sorry state that was twitching on the ground with a face full of disbelief!

"What Omnipresence realm crap? I can see you just fine curling your body on the dirt over there." a domineering and deep voice echoed out as a figure stepped to the front.

This figure... was Duan Li!
