Unleashing his Vermillion Bird Divine Wings, flames blazed across the sky, scorching the earth.
The entire Lower City instantly transformed into a boundless sea of fire.
Ming Qi, Wei Silong, and Mo Changli had no intention of holding back their strength at this moment. In their view, the An brothers' rampage, even in the seediest and darkest of Lower City, was unacceptable, especially since Wei Silong had already been bullied by this gang of thugs.
Dabai, needless to say, had been badly beaten by Longji of the Lihuo Sect the previous time. Now that he could unleash his unbridled might, he had no intention of holding back.
The vast Lower City was practically filled with cultivators from all directions. They stood on buildings and trees, or simply bravely approached the front to watch the chaotic battle.
Although Yan Qi, one of the Yan brothers, had sent out a signal early on, attempting to summon his brother Yan Yun to his side to unleash his fusion power, Ming Qi, Mo Changli, and Wei Silong would recklessly rush forward to separate them whenever they saw the two approaching. Despite repeated attempts, the two brothers were unable to successfully unleash their fusion power.
The melee had reached a fever pitch. Da Bai's massive axe had already claimed numerous lives, and he was now in a frenzy of killing, like a horse unbridled and unchecked.
The two women were also already filled with fighting spirit. Led by Ming Qi, they charged east and west, displaying the strength and dominance of the Celestial Clan's female warriors to the fullest.
Only Ming Qi remained, watching every move as he unleashed a barrage of attacks.
Over twenty innate cultivators were watching from the periphery!
On the Yan brothers' side, four innate cultivators remained!
The distance between the two Yan brothers was enough to easily unleash their fusion abilities!
Each scene, every detail, enhanced by the Supreme Mountain and Sea Map, escaped Ming Qi's divine sense. He could even clearly sense that among the spectators, there were five cultivators above the Fifth Innate Realm!
The Yan brothers' fighting power showed no signs of weakening!
As expected, the alien race's fighting power and endurance were incredibly formidable. No wonder these two brothers dominated the entire Lower City, their position unchallenged.
"Sister Silong, have you noticed anything?"
Amidst the fierce battle, Mo Changli suddenly asked Wei Silong.
"What?"
Bewildered, Wei Silong swung his long sword, unleashing streams of blade energy. He and Mo Changli engaged in a fierce and powerful exchange, unstoppable.
"The divine punishment has been suppressed."
Mo Changli spoke via voice transmission.
However, when these words echoed in Wei Silong's mind, her entire body trembled involuntarily, and an inexplicable shock immediately crossed her pretty face.
Because when Mo Changli transmitted these words, she had been awakened by them, and she instantly realized this.
The eternal and unchanging divine punishment, unable to eliminate even the slightest weakening of the eternal nightmare, had been unknowingly suppressed to an imperceptible level in this chaotic battlefield!
"How is this possible!"
Wei Silong whispered in disbelief, her plump lips trembling slightly.
Even her hands, tightly gripping the black longsword, could not help but tremble slightly.
Suppressing divine punishment—this was the dream of the Celestial Clan. Hadn't they, far from their homeland, sought, at all costs, a way to suppress it?
Their responsibility is to search the vast sea of humanity, regardless of the cost, for those they deem potential partners, then marry them, hoping that the next generation will bring hope and possibility for the Celestial Clan to overcome the divine punishment and restore their glory.
This path, after countless years of deliberation and research, is the only path the Celestial Clan elders have identified to restore the Celestial Clan's glory.
Thus, Celestial Clan maidens like Wei Silong and Mo Changli, upon reaching adulthood, leave their homes and homelands, wandering across the heavens and earth, devoting their lives to search, pursuit, and exploration.
Of course, the future Celestial Clan members like Wei Silong and Mo Changli are not limited to beautiful adult Celestial Clan maidens; there are also many stunning young men among them.
Amidst the vast sea of humanity, they may appear to be searching for their own destiny and pursuing their own future, but ultimately, they are all working hard for the future of the Celestial Clan.
Wei Silong, like Mo Changli, chose a different path, but her sense of responsibility and obsession never faded. Though downtrodden, she never forgot.
At this moment, when she felt the divine punishment within her being suppressed by a powerful, unknown force, she was instantly overwhelmed with astonishment.
"What exactly is going on?"
Wei Silong eagerly sent a voice message to inquire.
Mo Changli smiled, his beautiful eyes fixed on Ming Qi, who was intently fighting in the distance, and whispered, "It's all because of him."
"Him?"
Wei Silong couldn't believe it. This seemingly unremarkable young man possessed such formidable power!
Suppressing divine punishment—though the exact nature of this power was unknown, one thing was certain: its emanation must surpass the might of the gods of heaven and earth, even surpassing the power of the countless gods in the divine realm.
"Hmm."
Mo Changli hummed softly in response, then fell silent, leaving behind a long string of questions that troubled Wei Silong.
The battle continued, and the Yan brothers were already furious at the torment of Ming Qi and the other two. Despite their immense endurance and ferocious venom, they were completely powerless against the three men before them, unable even to cripple the infuriating tiger.
The Yan brothers were utterly frustrated. It felt as if a pair of eyes were constantly watching their every move. Any slight movement or flaw would be mercilessly seized upon and dealt a heavy blow.
"Sister Changli, is this the one you chose?"
After a long silence, Wei Silong suddenly asked.
"Chosen," Wei Silong simply said, but she knew Mo Changli fully understood.
"This..."
In the midst of the battle, Mo Changli suddenly bit her lip, a hint of sadness crossing her delicate face.
"…I don't know…"
Mo Changli replied.
He has a beloved girl… Mo Changli thought to herself, her eyes gradually darkening.
If, if it were true, she could bring him back to her family, she didn't dare to imagine what it would bring to the entire Celestial Clan. But she was confident that as long as Ming Qi appeared in their homeland, they would surely grant him the highest status and treatment, perhaps even worship him as a deity.
But could she really do that?
That girl, after all, had left a deep impression on him.
Seeing Mo Changli's face suddenly darken, Wei Silong, incredibly clever, instantly guessed what was going on.
"I must take him away no matter what!"
Wei Silong suddenly spoke with such dominance that even Mo Changli hadn't considered it, and then, swinging his long sword, he charged forward.
Wei Silong's heart raced, and Mo Changli's gloomy expression finally gave the Yan brothers a glimmer of hope.
After a long struggle, the Yan brothers finally stood together. Without hesitation, Yan Yun and Yan Qi mobilized all their energy, circulating it frantically. Simultaneously, pale green vortexes of wind condensed on the Yan fangs on their hands.
As the Yan brothers leaned together, the surging energy around them merged at an incredibly fast speed. The four innate cultivators behind the brothers also seized the opportunity and generously channeled their energy into the Yan brothers.
Seeing this, Ming Qi secretly feared something was amiss. With lightning speed, he moved his body, his hands forming hand seals at a swift pace.
The Suzaku divine wings behind him instantly rose and transformed. Previously a blur of flames, they began to crystallize, and the silhouette of the divine beast, Suzaku, loomed.
The most powerful killing move yet revealed in the Suzaku Burning Heaven Sutra: Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens!
Ming Qi had no time to think. The combined magical power of the Yan brothers had already been a source of concern, and now, with the four innate masters pouring all their energy into it, the already intimidating Yan brothers became even more terrifying.
The Yan brothers' energy rapidly condensed, forming a dense, pale green cloud around them at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the Yan clan's poisonous claws detached from their hands and flew into the pale green cloud.
"Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens!"
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Ming Qi swung his hands, and a mountain-like phantom of the Vermillion Bird swept forward, accompanied by swirls of flaming storms. As soon as these flaming storms separated from Ming Qi's figure, they rapidly transformed in the air, a Vermillion Bird, so large that it could cover the sky, clawed and bared its fangs towards the Yan brothers.
His hands did not stop, and his gestures vaguely suggested the use of another powerful magical power from the Vermillion Bird Burning Heaven Sutra: the Vermillion Bird Burning Heaven.
"The Poison Emperor has arrived!"
The Yan brothers suddenly shouted in unison. Circles of pale green ripples rapidly spread out from them, and then a dense, pale green cloud quickly coalesced across the sky, revealing a towering, divine figure.
This divine figure possessed three eyes, wielding a giant snake in his left hand and a staff in his right. He wore a strange crown and ancient Taoist robes. Though his eyes were vacant, he could see a toxin emanating from them, many times more terrifying than the venom released by the Yan brothers.
As the Poison Emperor emerged, he raised his eyes slightly, pointed his left hand forward, and a massive venomous snake soared through the sky.
Although the snake appeared to be in the same dead, ethereal state as the Poison Emperor's body, it exhaled a strange aura towards the ground every few meters. As the aura touched the ground, puffs of white smoke rose, and the ground immediately turned to charred black.
The venomous snake swept through, leaving a desolate landscape.
Whoosh!
At the gentle touch of the Poison Emperor, the venomous snake sprinted towards Ming Qi with lightning speed.
Just as the arrogant snake was about to strike Ming Qi, Mo Changli, not far away, suddenly shook the golden halberd in his hand and charged forward.
"Changli, retreat!"
Ming Qi, with a solemn expression, stopped Mo Changli's urge to rush forward to help. Simultaneously, he completely ignited all his energy, and his Vermillion Bird wings transformed into a streak of fire that soared into the sky.
