After annihilating Hun Tiandi's clone, Mo Yu clapped his hands, his expression remaining relaxed.
Although this clone of Hun Tiandi possessed some unique traits and had strength comparable to an early-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, with Mo Yu's current strength at the Eight-Star Dou Sheng level, along with his Di Realm soul and various formidable techniques, dealing with such an opponent was hardly a challenge.
Just as Mo Yu turned to support the other battlefields, he suddenly sensed something. Turning his gaze downward, he looked at the sea of magma.
There, a massive vortex had abruptly appeared. Within that vortex, it seemed as though something was about to emerge.
"The Ancient Emperor's Mansion is finally about to resurface..."
Seeing this, Mo Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he murmured to himself.
Above the vast magma sea, waves began to surge, and a whirlpool, spanning thousands of feet, gradually formed on the magma's surface. At the vortex's depths, something seemed to be on the verge of appearing. A peculiar fluctuation faintly rippled across heaven and earth.
The sudden change in the magma sea quickly attracted the attention of many, and their faces were filled with astonishment.
"Rumble!"
The enormous magma vortex spun increasingly violently, with deafening, earth-shattering sounds echoing through the sky.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion suddenly erupted in the sky, followed by a figure retreating in a battered state—it was Nihility Devouring Flame. At this moment, he appeared extremely disheveled, his entire body engulfed in black flames that flickered chaotically.
Clearly, even though he was also a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, he was still at a disadvantage against Gu Yuan, a powerhouse at the late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng level.
The black flames in Nihility Devouring Flame's eyes fluctuated as a trace of unwillingness flashed across them. He hadn't expected that even after advancing to an Di Realm soul, he still couldn't contend with Gu Yuan…
Not far from Nihility Devouring Flame, Gu Yuan revealed himself. His gaze was indifferent as he cast a glance at Nihility Devouring Flame. If the latter hadn't also attained an Di Realm soul, he would have already been severely wounded—there was no way he would have been able to hold on until now.
However, Gu Yuan understood that at this moment, the most important matter wasn't dealing with Nihility Devouring Flame.
"Hun Tiandi."
Gu Yuan lifted his head, staring at the figure manipulating the Tuo She Ancient Jade. A cold gleam flickered in his eyes as he took a step forward. The space trembled, and in an instant, he appeared behind Hun Tiandi.
The tides of heaven and earth surged, transforming into a colossal tidal palm that struck toward Hun Tiandi with overwhelming force.
"Boom!"
Facing Gu Yuan's attack, Hun Tiandi merely let out a laugh. With a single punch, he shattered the void and forcefully met Gu Yuan's strike head-on.
"Gu Yuan, it's too late. Now, we just have to wait for the emergence of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Mansion!"
Hun Tiandi's figure retreated slightly, tightly gripping the Tuo She Ancient Jade in his hand.
Hearing this, Gu Yuan's expression darkened as he glanced at the magma sea below. Indeed, the vortex on the magma's surface had suddenly expanded tenfold!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As the vortex grew, towering magma pillars, each spanning thousands of feet, erupted from the magma sea, covering the sky.
"Swoosh!"
A towering magma wave surged and then crashed down violently. As magma splashed into the air, the rapidly spinning vortex gradually slowed.
And as its rotation slowed, a massive shape began to rise from the magma surface. The molten rock rapidly dispersed, revealing an enormous ancient stone gate that slowly emerged under the gaze of countless fervent eyes.
As the magma receded from the stone gate, an ancient, primal aura instantly engulfed the heavens and earth. Under this aura, all fell silent. Even powerful figures like Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi instinctively felt a sense of dread from the depths of their souls.
It was an aura that transcended this world!
Countless gazes converged upon the ancient stone gate. Finally, all eyes were drawn to the four ancient characters inscribed above it—
"Ancient Emperor's Mansion!"
At this moment, Hun Tiandi's eyes gleamed with an astonishing radiance. Even with his composure, upon personally witnessing the four characters he had pursued for over a millennium, he couldn't help but feel his heart surge with excitement.
The colossal stone gate towered over the magma. Under its immense size, everyone present appeared minuscule. To them, this gate seemed akin to an entire world—profound and boundless.
In the sky, Hun Tiandi took several deep breaths to suppress the tumultuous emotions in his heart. Then, he slowly raised the Tuo She Ancient Jade in his hand, and faint ripples of light flickered across its surface.
As the ancient jade shimmered, the tightly shut stone gate also began to glow. It seemed as if, after being sealed for ten thousand years, it was finally about to open…
Upon witnessing this scene, Hun Tiandi was overjoyed. However, just as he was about to proceed further, a figure suddenly shot forward, reaching for the ancient jade in his hands.
"Heh, Gu Yuan, you couldn't hold back any longer, huh?"
Hun Tiandi sneered as he flickered and reappeared in the distance, effortlessly evading Gu Yuan's grasp.
"Did you really think opening the cave mansion would be that easy?"
Gu Yuan smirked coldly, his figure flashing forward once more. Like a shadow, he relentlessly pursued Hun Tiandi, giving him no opportunity to activate the ancient jade.
"You!"
Seeing Gu Yuan's persistent interference, Hun Tiandi's eyes filled with murderous intent. Their strengths were evenly matched. If Gu Yuan truly insisted on entangling him, he wouldn't be able to spare the attention needed to open the cave mansion.
Countless gazes fixated on the two figures clashing in the sky, their hands clenched in frustration. The battle had reached a level beyond their ability to intervene.
"Rumble!"
Mo Yu took a brief glance at the ongoing clash in the sky, but then his ears twitched. He had picked up the sound of intense magma surging. Turning his gaze toward the magma sea, he noticed that it had suddenly become eerily calm.
Seeing this, Mo Yu seemed to realize something. His expression changed drastically as he shouted, "All allied forces, retreat from the magma! Quickly!"
Just as he finished shouting, the once-calm magma sea suddenly erupted with monstrous waves.
"ROAR!"
A deafening, earth-shattering roar swept across the heavens and earth.
The instant this ancient roar resounded, Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi's expressions changed drastically.
This aura… was no weaker than theirs!
"Hahaha! This emperor has finally returned to the world!"
As a towering magma geyser shot into the sky, a terrifying aura surged forth, causing the entire world to tremble!
The crimson magma seemed to engulf the heavens, turning the entire world into a sea of flames. The intense heat transformed everything into a massive furnace.
Both armies were forced to retreat amidst the overwhelming magma waves. Their eyes were filled with shock as they stared into the depths of the magma.
At this moment, even they could sense that an immensely terrifying being lay hidden beneath the sea of magma.
Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi also halted their battle, their eyes filled with wariness as they stared at the magma sea.
Under the overwhelming presence of this aura, even they felt a distinct sense of danger.
"So this is the old Dragon Emperor that Mo Yu mentioned—the guardian of the Ancient Emperor's Mansion…"
Gu Yuan's expression was grave as his eyes flickered with deep contemplation.
"Rumble!"
The sky-reaching magma waterfall finally came crashing down, merging into the magma sea below. The resulting tidal wave rapidly spread outward, drowning distant mountain ranges entirely.
As the massive wave crashed down, a colossal figure suddenly rose from the sea of magma. Its enormous body, covered in resplendent purple-gold scales, emerged slightly from the lava, and though it was merely a small portion of its full form, its sheer size was still overwhelming.
The mysterious creature's head, exuding a faintly ferocious and oppressive aura, surfaced from the magma and gazed at the numerous figures in the sky. In its giant eyes, a flicker of surprise was evident.
"I never expected someone would actually obtain the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade and summon the Ancient Emperor's Mansion from that accursed space…"
The enormous being's gaze swept across the sky before finally settling on Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi. Despite the vast number of people present in this realm, only these two were worthy of its solemn regard.
Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi both stared at the mysterious creature with grave and wary expressions. Even with their vast knowledge and experience, they could not discern its true identity.
After all, what they were witnessing seemed to be merely the tip of the iceberg.
"I am Gu Yuan, the patriach of the Gu Clan…" Gu Yuan cupped his hands toward the colossal entity and spoke in a deep voice.
Though he had already guessed the identity of the massive being before him, he was unsure whether it could be drawn to his side. Thus, he remained extremely courteous.
Hun Tiandi, fearing that Gu Yuan might join forces with this entity, immediately stepped forward and respectfully introduced himself as well.
"The Gu Clan? The Hun Clan? Hah, in ancient times, you weren't even considered major clans. To think you managed to obtain the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade…"
Hearing their introductions, Zhu Kun let out a thunderous rumble of laughter, causing lava pillars to shoot up from the sea of magma.
At these words, both Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi were visibly shocked. Judging from its tone, this being had existed for an unfathomable amount of time. Indeed, tens of thousands of years ago, neither the Gu Clan nor the Hun Clan had been top-tier forces.
Not far away, Mo Yu smirked. He never expected Zi Yan's father to be such a domineering figure—just a few casual sentences were enough to showcase his unparalleled might.
"Who was it that summoned the Ancient Emperor's =Mansion? Speaking of which, I do owe a certain someone a small favor…" Zhu Kun spoke again.
Upon hearing this, both Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi's expressions shifted—Gu Yuan's turned grim, while Hun Tiandi's brightened with joy.
"Haha, my friend, the Ancient Jade is in my hands. Naturally, it was only our side that could have summoned the Ancient Emperor's Mansion," Hun Tiandi stepped forward with a smile.
Zhu Kun's giant eyes landed on Hun Tiandi, and suddenly, a brilliant light surged within them. In the next instant, his colossal body rapidly shrank, transforming into a middle-aged man with flowing purple-gold hair.
Lifting his gaze, his golden pupils—filled with an overwhelming sense of oppression—locked onto Hun Tiandi. With a faint smile, he said, "I do owe you a favor, so I should assist you… However, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll settle it another time."
"Hu…"
Gu Yuan quietly let out a breath of relief, while Hun Tiandi's face twitched slightly. A flash of killing intent flickered in his eyes—if not for Zhu Kun's overwhelming strength, he would have ordered an immediate strike.
Having finished his words, Zhu Kun paid no further attention to Hun Tiandi. Instead, his golden pupils swept across the sky, eventually landing on a particular figure. A glacial chill instantly surged within his eyes.
In the air, Mo Yu frowned slightly. This old fellow… could he be under the impression that I harmed his child?
"You! Come here!"
Zhu Kun's gaze locked onto Mo Yu, and with a grasp of his massive hand, a dragon's roar resounded. A golden claw tore through the air, reaching directly for Mo Yu.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Zhu Kun attack without hesitation, Mo Yu let out a cold snort. With a swing of his Divine Might Black Thunder Spear, a thunder dragon materialized, clashing head-on with the golden claw.
"Boom!"
The impact between the two forces resembled the collapse of the heavens and earth, sending devastating shockwaves rippling outward. In an instant, many were caught in the aftermath, and even an Eight-Star Dou Sheng like Lei Ying regarded the battle with a solemn expression.
"This weapon… it was forged using the royal bloodline of my Ancient Void Dragon Clan?! Brat, you must have a death wish!"
Already suspecting Mo Yu had harmed his daughter, Zhu Kun's fury exploded when he sensed the familiar dragon bloodline within the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear. His killing intent surged to its peak.
"Brat, prepare to die!" Zhu Kun's body erupted with golden light, and a majestic Purple-Gold Emperor Seal materialized, radiating boundless dominance as it hurtled toward Mo Yu.
Seeing this, Mo Yu's expression darkened. This old man was completely unreasonable—he wouldn't even give him a chance to explain!
Just as Mo Yu was about to unleash his full strength in retaliation, a familiar voice suddenly echoed across the battlefield.
"Father, wait!"
As the Emperor Seal shone brilliantly, an anxious female voice rang out. In the next moment, dazzling golden light erupted from within the dragon seal, swiftly enveloping Mo Yu.
Before he could react, the space in front of him tore apart, forming a massive rift. The brilliant golden light surged, coalescing into an enormous golden dragon that swiftly wrapped itself around him.
"Buzz!"
Before the shocked coalition forces and the jubilant Hun Clan, the Emperor Seal—radiating terrifying might—descended upon the golden dragon's head. However, just when everyone expected a gruesome scene, the attack suddenly came to a halt…
The radiant seal shattered into countless fragments, scattering brilliant light across the sky. The glow reflected off Zhu Kun's face, yet his body trembled uncontrollably as if he had been struck by lightning.
"My child…"
Watching this unfold, Mo Yu let out a quiet sigh of relief and murmured, "Good thing I informed Zi Yan in advance…"
