nTang Jie and Huang Wuji flew to the exit of the Immortal Emperor’s tomb. But in Tang Jie’s right eye, a vortex was turning, and within the vortex, the actions of the surviving villager played out.

nWhen Tang Jie witnessed the villager kill the flower girl, he shivered, and when that man’s aura began to expand, the Illuminating Eye Tang Jie had planted there earlier was utterly destroyed. But no longer being able to see what was happening there did nothing to quell the waves raging within Tang Jie’s mind.

nRight before the image vanished, Tang Jie had seen that person’s face.

nThe Bejeweled Star Lord!

nWas that man the Bejeweled Star Lord’s reincarnation?

nBut it didn’t seem like a reincarnation.

nWith the Dao of Reincarnation, one had to cultivate from the beginning with each incarnation, just like the Black Tortoise Cang Qingfeng. So how could the Bejeweled Star Lord be so powerful the moment he appeared?

nTang Jie could make no sense of it.

nBut before he even had time to think about the problem, he felt an immense pressure roaring up behind him.

nTang Jie shouted, “Run!”

n“What?” Huang Wuji said in confusion.

nAnd then he saw Tang Jie shoot away.

nAt the same time, a majestic voice resounded through the world. “Audacious thief, intruding into the Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum? Since you have already come in, this lord will have you stay.”

nA giant hand emerged on the horizon, reaching for the two.

n“A True Immortal!” The vast energy radiating from this hand immediately informed Huang Wuji of the level of its owner. So pure and majestic was this energy that even among True Immortals, this had to be a terrifying existence.

nHow had such a powerful existence so suddenly appeared in the Immortal Emperor’s tomb? Huang Wuji was baffled.

nTang Jie shouted again, “Hurry and run!”

nAs he spoke, he put Xu Miaoran and Yiyi into the Mountain River State Diagram and flew off like a bolt of lightning. Huang Wuji finally came around and began to run after Tang Jie.

nThe giant hand pursued the pair. It moved much faster than the two, drawing closer and closer.

nHuang Wuji saw this and swung the ruler. The jade ruler flashed with the light of a Dao Art as Huang Wuji put all his energy into this attack.

n“Hmph, trying to attack this lord with a treasure!?”

nThe full strength of a pseudo–Dao armament earned only a snort of contempt from that voice in the distance.

nThe giant hand simply pointed at the pseudo–Dao armament, and the light upon it dissipated. Not only that, the jade ruler broke free of Huang Wuji’s grip and flew toward the hand. Aghast, Huang Wuji lunged out and grabbed the ruler, trying to prevent its escape.

nAfter all, this was still a Dao armament, and Huang Wuji could not possibly let it go so easily.

nThe giant hand swatted at Huang Wuji.

nUnable to dodge in time, he raised up countless barriers around himself, but as the palm struck, the barriers all shattered, and Huang Wuji was sent flying while throwing up blood.

nHuang Wuji was a peak Earth Immortal, yet this one strike from the hand had left him heavily injured, much to Tang Jie’s consternation.

nThe giant hand reached out again, and, sensing trouble, Tang Jie threw out two divine treasures. Just when they were about to explode, the hand waved at them, upon which the divine treasures were fixed in the air. With another wave, the hand collected those two divine treasures.

nTang Jie’s soul almost left his body. He had already guessed that this was the Bejeweled Star Lord, and he probably had a divine ability to counter treasures, but he hadn’t expected him to even be able to stop the detonation of divine treasures.

nAs the hand reached out again, Tang Jie could only use Nearby Horizon to flee.

nThe Bejeweled Star Lord gasped in surprise.

nAt the same time, Huang Wuji attacked with all his strength, a majestic river issuing from his hands, blocking the hand’s path.

nBut a moment later, the hand transformed into a roaring dragon, savagely rushing forward and pushing through the river.

nJust when it seemed like the pair were about to be caught, Tang Jie suddenly took on the form of a giant, and a golden halberd formed in his hands.

n“This is the Bejeweled Star Lord! Don’t use any kind of treasure in front of him!” Huang Wuji shouted, clearly having realized who their pursuer was.

nBut Tang Jie swung the halberd as if he hadn’t heard this warning.

nShockingly, the golden halberd tore through the air, chopping into the dragon’s head. With a furious howl, the dragon shattered, turning back into a giant hand, but it had been sliced in two, blazing golden blood falling from the wound.

n“The Sovereign Blade!” the Bejeweled Star Lord roared in disbelief, fear in his voice.

n“It’s good that you know!” Tang Jie shouted, the halberd turning into a mallet that he swung at the hand. The giant hand retreated almost as quickly as it had come.

nHuang Wuji was stunned by this sight.

nBut Tang Jie didn’t give chase, turning to Huang Wuji and shouting, “Let’s go!” Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

nHe flew toward the tomb’s exit.

nHuang Wuji came to his senses and flew after him, asking, “What is this weapon, that it can be immune to the Bejeweled Star Lord?”

nTang Jie replied, “There are many treasures that are unaffected by the Bejeweled Star Lord. Do you really think he can control all of them? With that ability, he could go fishing in the Lustrous Treasure River for Dao armaments. He can’t even compare to Reverend Celestial Hook, yet he dares to make such boasts? Hah! At best, he can influence divine treasures, not even being able to influence Dao armaments, or else he would have seized that jade ruler of yours already.”

nHuang Wuji was dizzied by his words. Unable to find a reply, he focused on running, the exit now coming into view in the distance.

nAt this moment, there was a gust of wind and a wave of pressure from behind them. This time, the Bejeweled Star Lord had come personally.

n“Still coming?” Tang Jie cursed, but he knew that the Bejeweled Star Lord had definitely noticed something wrong.

nSure enough, as the Bejeweled Star Lord’s imposing face appeared, there was no trace of fear upon it. He laughed, “I didn’t think that after ten thousand years of hibernation, the moment I emerged, I would run into Li Jiuyang’s successor. Fortunately, you have only the form and not the spirit. But since the Sovereign Blade has reemerged, I cannot let you live, so hurry up and die!”

nHe reached out to grab Tang Jie.

nTang Jie froze in front of the hand as if he had been scared out of his wits.

nHuang Wuji frantically said, “Young Brother, dodge!”

nHe didn’t understand why Tang Jie didn’t dodge despite having Nearby Horizon, and since the Bejeweled Star Lord dared to attack, he clearly had the means to deal with that Sovereign Blade.

nAs that giant hand descended and Tang Jie still seemed to be scared stiff, Huang Wuji clenched his teeth and charged forward, the jade ruler in his hand shining. As he moved to face the hand of the True Immortal with all the power he could muster, he inwardly grumbled, I haven’t even known this guy for that long, so why am I risking my life for him?

nBut as the palm descended, an object suddenly appeared over Tang Jie’s head.

nIt was a flat-topped crown with numerous Dao Runes etched into its surface, its dazzling light profound and mysterious such that one glance could leave one dizzy.

nIt was impossible to fathom or understand, yet majestic enough to shake the soul.

nTang Jie bathed under its golden light.

nThe Star Lord’s giant hand struck Tang Jie, but there was no effect, as if it had slammed into an impenetrable wall.

nAt the same moment, a voice called out, “Since you have been gone for ten thousand years, why did you return? This world is no longer yours, so the old can take their leave!”

nAnother hand appeared in the air.

nThe Bejeweled Star Lord’s hand was fierce and tyrannical, bursting with destructive power, while this hand was like the clouds frolicking in the winds, the froth of the ocean waves, flitting onto the scene and gently pressing against the Bejeweled Star Lord’s chest.

nAs the palm pushed forward, the fabric of space in front of the Bejeweled Star Lord began to collapse, the palm pushing through layer after layer of Space power. The Bejeweled Star Lord’s body flashed with layers of resplendent light as he attempted to stop the palm from getting closer, and the owner of this palm seemed to slowly reach their limit.

nTang Jie’s eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. “Even if I only have the form, I can slay an Immortal to prove my Dao!”

nHe once more turned into a thousand-foot-tall giant, while the Sovereign Blade turned back into its original form, appearing like a dagger in his hand. With a shake of his hand, Tang Jie had the Sovereign Blade thin and lengthen into a long metal bar.

nTang Jie thrust the metal bar forward. “Break!”

nAll of his power, intelligence, and knowledge was focused onto this thrust, penetrating through all the numerous spatial barriers the Bejeweled Star Lord had placed in front of him.

nThe graceful hand thrust forward, glowing with a crystalline light and striking the Star Lord’s chest.

n“AAAAH!” the Bejeweled Star Lord screamed, throwing up blood, his body instantly vanishing into the distance. This palm had slapped him all the way back to the village.

nThe figure of Yun Tianlan appeared in the air.

n“Hurry!” Yun Tianlan roared.

nHe grabbed them, one to each hand, and retreated to the exit.

n“Thank you for the rescue, Martial Ancestor,” Tang Jie said.

nThe moment he had run into danger, he had used Heart Consonance to contact Yun Tianlan, and he had managed to last until the man himself had arrived.

nTo his surprise, Yun Tianlan grunted, his face momentarily flashing red.

n“Martial Ancestor, are you injured?” Tang Jie said in alarm.

nYun Tianlan indifferently replied, “A minor wound, nothing major. The Bejeweled Star Lord is truly a Titan of High Antiquity.”

nAlthough they were both True Immortals, one was a True Immortal who had been slumbering for ten thousand years while the other had only recently become one, so the difference was obvious. It was only because it was a surprise attack with Tang Jie’s help that Yun Tianlan had been able to injure the Star Lord.

nHe then said, “We’ll talk once we’re out of here.”

nCarrying the two, he flew toward the exit.
