"Courting death!"
As the tender shout rang out, a dazzling azure light burst forth from the heavenly firmament and the nine skies.
In just a moment, this desolate outer realm seemed to bloom with endless vitality.
Delicate flowers, verdant willows, and the meandering river that circled the heavens.
The towering willow trees rooted in the void, each branch like a giant dragon, transformed into countless shackles, sealing everything away.
The blooming flowers on the ground quietly opened, creating an illusory world that was so beautiful it left one in a trance.
As for the long river hanging across the heavens, it stirred up towering waves, each droplet of water seemingly weighing a thousand tons, piercing through the void.
This picturesque scene, however, carried earth-shattering killing intent, causing the expressions of Tianyu and Jiuxiao to change dramatically.
"Divine Punishment!"
"Heavenly Command!"
The light around Tianyu and Jiuxiao intensified, as heavenly veils descended to envelop them securely.
But in the next instant...
Bang!
The river crashed down, and their full power barrier shattered explosively.
The flowers bloomed, and the intoxicating fragrance made one’s soul tremble.
The willow branches coiled, turning the world into a cage with no place to hide!
In just a brief moment, with but a single move, Tianyu and Jiuxiao’s figures were left in disarray, retreating again and again.
This scene left everyone present from the Ten Thousand Races with mouths agape, faces full of boundless shock.
They were from the illustrious Heavenly and Divine Races, ranked in the top ten among the Ten Thousand Races.
Furthermore, Tianyu and Jiuxiao were prodigies among them, with unmatched combat strength that dominated their era.
Yet these two formidable beings were now being beaten back with a single encounter.
No one knew the impact of this scene on the Ten Thousand Races.
"It’s... that elf."
At this moment, Kasa and the prodigy of the Three-Eyed Race recognized the angry yet beautiful girl.
The two of them remembered something, their faces showing fear.
"You know her?"
Night Eyes and other powerful newcomers asked, their faces pale.
"She’s a cultivator from the mainland, the current Elf King!"
Kasa spoke with terror in his eyes: "Before the Emperor’s path opened, that elf had already arrived in the outer realm."
"At that time, we were setting up an array, and that elf, having somehow gotten the news, came directly."
"She..."
"With just one strike, she tore apart our killing array, and though surrounded by hundreds of prodigies, she beat us up fiercely, and then left..."
The words made all the strong ones from the Ten Thousand Races twitch their eyes violently.
To break open a killing array with mere Divine Skill Realm cultivation?
And to single-handedly pummel hundreds of their prodigies?
"The mainland... how could there be so many formidable figures?"
Someone from the Ten Thousand Races murmured, "Could their combat strength really be confined by realms?"
Those present were silent, their faces reflecting utmost silence.
The prodigies from the Ten Thousand Races were here today as well.
In comparison with Su Changqing, who was stronger they didn’t know.
But this elf...
Undoubtedly, she was far stronger than Tianyu and Jiuxiao.
"Who is that! So powerful!"
At this point, even the cultivators from the mainland, watching Tianyu and Jiuxiao get beaten, couldn’t help but show astonishment.
Young Peng King’s sharp eyes carried fear, "Clearly she’s Divine Skill Realm, yet innately has a domain."
"Not only is her physical body formidable, but her Mana also seems inexhaustible, and her spells contain the laws of the Great Dao, this..."
"When did the mainland have such a terrifying existence?"
Beside him, Li Bufan swallowed nervously, murmuring, "Is she really at the Divine Skill Realm?"
"She’s probably not inferior to Su Changqing, right?"
Beside him, Empirical Body Chu Xi widened his eyes, "Why do I feel like... she’s even stronger than Chang Qing?"
Everyone present was aghast.
In their knowledge, Su Changqing was already impossibly strong.
Yet this suddenly appearing girl had combat strength that was similarly terrifying.
Her extraordinary means of action seemed to create a new world with each step, as vistas bloomed with flowers, both dazzling and filled with endless killing intent.
Just from watching on the sidelines, they were drenched in cold sweat.
The omnipresent, all-pervasive assault left their scalps tingling.
However, just as everyone was shocked by the girl’s strength, Su Changqing’s previously calm demeanor suddenly lit up.
Watching the furious red-robed woman ahead, a smile involuntarily spread across Su Changqing’s face.
He didn’t make a move, just quietly watched the woman standing up for him, warmth and a smile in his eyes, unable to be hidden.
"Seems she’s not any weaker than you, huh."
Seeing Su Changqing suddenly in high spirits, Miao Feng chuckled.
While most didn’t recognize her, she had met her once.
The newcomer was the current Elf King, Hua Buyu, who had once accidentally entered the elf realm and been enlightened by Chang Qing, thus taking form.
"I didn’t expect Buyu’s combat strength to be so powerful either."
Su Changqing’s face beamed with a radiant smile, "It seems she’s faring well outside the realm."
Miao Feng’s mouth twitched at these words, glancing at the battered Tianyu and Jiuxiao.
Suffering?
If anyone suffered, it was more likely those around her.
In this first stage of the Emperor’s path, Hua Buyu was practically unbeatable.
Who dared cross her path?
"Little elf, you’re courting death!"
Suddenly, in the sky above, a thunderous angry shout emanated from the phantom of a gigantic face.
Boom!
As if the might of the heavens spread, countless streams of Spiritual Power converged from the void, rapidly forming a heavy and immeasurable mountain.
As soon as the mountain appeared, the surrounding void continuously shattered, and the terrifying force within seemed ready to crush everything.
Amidst the fierce battle, Hua Buyu sensed the crisis, her beautiful eyes lifting.
But before she could act, a cold snort suddenly exploded across the sky!
