Chapter 84

Ning Yue watched as the young man stepped out of the void, and his first move was to activate the divine crystal fragment, sending Luo Shengsheng and the other six girls, who were full of panic, away. Then he pointed at the man and shouted loudly, "I remember you! You are No. 813!"

The young man, who walked out of the void with a majestic and imperial demeanor, was instantly embarrassed by the name "No. 813" and growled fiercely, "I am No. 318, not No. 813! No, I am Emperor Mengtian, don't call me by those stupid codes anymore."

Ning Yue spread his hands and shrugged, saying, "I've never minded being No. 7! Why do you care so much?"

The young man who called himself Emperor Mengtian sneered coldly, "Of course you can be indifferent, because you are No. 7, but I absolutely refuse to be just No. 318. I want to become the emperor who rules the heavens and the earth. You will be my stepping stone. Once I kill you and absorb all your power in the mortal world, I can begin my conquest."

Ning Yue shook his head and couldn't help but laugh, "Next, you will be hunted down by others and die!"

Emperor Mengtian sneered, "Absolutely not, because I am not as foolish as you. I have made complete preparations."

Ning Yue clasped his hands together and said calmly, "You already know my identity, so I can't let you leave. Xu Xun and Xu Fu, come in as well."

After realizing that his identity had been exposed and that pursuers from Yingzhou had appeared, Ning Yue's first reaction was to grab everyone and send them into the Nine Heavens Realm, rather than engage in a life-and-death battle. As for the candidate for the Heavenly Emperor ranked in the 300s, he didn't even take him seriously.

The reason he was No. 7 was simply because the six people before him had entered the divine domain earlier and had a head start. He hadn't had time to catch up yet, but for Ning Yue, it was just a matter of time. As for this arrogant fellow who called himself Emperor Mengtian, Ning Yue didn't consider him a real opponent, just a clown.

Xu Xun and Xu Fu's faces changed slightly, and just as they were about to act, they were enveloped by the power of the divine crystal, along with Emperor Mengtian, and sent into the Nine Heavens Realm.

Ning Yue didn't waste any more time. He issued an order to Fei Li, arranged for the aftermath, and then headed straight to No. 64 Fitters Road. After meeting with Lu Wenyin, he activated the divine crystal and hid in the Nine Heavens Realm.

Ning Yue had not yet fully recovered his strength and did not want to continue entangling with the pursuers from the divine domain of Yingzhou.

The Nine Heavens Realm was synchronized with the main world's time. As the controller, Ning Yue could adjust the flow of time within a certain range. So when he entered the Nine Heavens Realm, it was already ten years after the White Robe Army had developed in the Nine Heavens Realm.

The best of the White Robe Army, under Li Hangu's recommendation, joined the Yanhang Sect and performed well in the subsequent Eight Sects Sword Competition. Yu Qi not only won the top prize, but several White Robe Army warriors also ranked high. These people had already entered the Great Qian Dynasty and quickly rose to prominent positions.

Now, not only the Yanhang Sect, but even the Tianshe Sect, which was geographically close to the Yanhang Sect, had been secretly infiltrated by the White Robe Army. They had even subdued dozens of small sects like the Tianlang Sect and had grown to a population of hundreds of thousands, controlling a significant territory.

The moment Ning Yue appeared in the Nine Heavens Realm, three figures slowly floated up and surrounded him.

Xu Fu asked with a serious expression, "Is this a divine domain?"

Ning Yue nodded and said, "From today on, you can call me Yan Jifeng!"

Xu Xun couldn't help but interject, "I know you are Yan Jifeng. We had no ill intentions, but we couldn't refuse the request from Yingzhou. It's useless to keep us here; we are just avatars."

Ning Yue grinned and said, "At least it can delay the time Yingzhou gets the coordinates. If I have ten years, maybe I won't fear Yingzhou's pursuit anymore."

Xu Fu wanted to say something, but Xu Xun pulled him and said loudly, "Since that's the case, we accept being confined here. We don't want to be your enemies. Can we leave?"

Ning Yue smiled brightly and said, "As long as you are willing, you can freely explore my Nine Heavens Realm without any restrictions."

Hearing that Ning Yue had no intention of killing them, Xu Xun and Xu Fu turned and left without a word.

Emperor Mengtian, who had been glaring with fiery eyes, couldn't help but curse, "Two cowards! If you report back to Yingzhou, they won't spare you."

Ning Yue shrugged and said, "Penglai will protect them. Even if you report, it won't help."

Emperor Mengtian let out a clear whistle, and a majestic imperial avatar condensed around him. He roared, "Even without them, I can still kill you! Yan Jifeng, prepare to die!"

The most advanced set of life soul diagrams in the various divine domains, consisting of the Azure Dragon Scroll, the Qilin Book, the Vermilion Bird Canon, and the Black Tortoise Collection, could form the Heavenly Emperor avatar when the four major avatars merged. It has always been known as the first avatar of the divine domain.

The Heavenly Emperor avatar has dozens of combinations, but only three are at the peak of the 18th stage. Although these avatars can all be called the Bright Heavenly Emperor, there are still finer distinctions. For example, the avatar Emperor Mengtian condensed was the 14th stage Great Dream Heavenly Emperor avatar.

Back in Yingzhou, Ning Yue was also taught the Four Spirits life soul diagrams and participated in a Heavenly Emperor selection conference, where he stood out and achieved the 18th stage Bright Heavenly Emperor avatar, far surpassing his contemporaries. However, he was then captured and suppressed under the Peach Tree by dozens of divine generals sent by Yingzhou.

Although Ning Yue managed to escape with an avatar, his strength was greatly diminished.

Now, the only power he could use was the 5th stage Void Dragon avatar and the Taiqing Heart Method, the Ten Directions Illusion Annihilation Method, which he had cultivated in the Nine Heavens Realm. The power he had accumulated in the main world was blocked by the power of the temple and stored in a mysterious space. Only when he returned to the main world could he be freed and returned to him.

Back in Yingzhou, Ning Yue was not at all afraid of Emperor Mengtian. Yingzhou had cultivated countless Heavenly Emperor candidates with the Four Spirits life soul diagrams. He was ranked 7th, while Emperor Mengtian was ranked in the 300s. But now, their strengths had been reversed.

Emperor Mengtian continuously released power, quickly surpassing the 10th stage and stabilizing at the 12th stage, the Great Dream Heavenly Emperor avatar. It was as if he was the ruler of this world, the only god. Even though Ning Yue was the controller of the Nine Heavens Realm, he couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.
