Chapter 5756: Marquis to the Rescue
....

Without needing any command, Hun Tian took the lead and directly intercepted Marquis Tie Dan.
Seeing the many powerful beings suddenly rus.h.i.+ng in, Marquis Tie Dan exclaimed, “What a lively scene!”
“Brother Zhu, are you well?” Hun Tian’s voice was cold, far from a friendly greeting.
It sounded more like a provocation.
He had long been displeased with Marquis Tie Dan.
Now, with the a.s.sistance of Babidi’s power, he could finally kill his adversary.
He was well aware of Marquis Tie Dan’s strength, being at the peak of the Seventh Tribulation or even a Universe Master.
Compared to his current power, there wasn’t much of a difference.
Relying solely on his current strength, he lacked the confidence to kill his opponent.
But don’t forget, within the cosmic s.h.i.+p, there was a super existence.
“Chi Jiuxiao!”
If Chi Jiuxiao was willing to take action, a Universe Master at the Seventh Tribulation wouldn’t count for much.
It all depended on what Babidi would do.
As long as Babidi nodded, Chi Jiuxiao would definitely take action.
Accompanied by Jian Wushuang, he tried to keep himself at the back of the crowd, restraining his aura, not daring to show himself.
He wondered if Marquis Tie Dan would notice him.
But Patriarch Xue Dao knew him.
If he were recognized, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, Dylan had just made a ruthless move, leaving Patriarch Xue Dao barely clinging to life, so he probably wouldn’t bother with him anymore.
On the other side, the unsuspecting red-haired youth continued his pursuit.
By now, both individuals had entered the territory of the s.h.i.+ Kingdom.
It was also the moment for him to make his move.
As for the battlefield above the Demon Kingdom, he could sense that Babidi had no intention of recklessly killing on sight, especially when it came to the Universe Master.
Emperor Babidi seemed disinterested, particularly considering that Marquis Tie Dan was a formidable figure of the Ancient Moon Sect. Killing him would stir up trouble beyond measure.
Though Babidi and Chi Jiuxiao were not afraid, causing unnecessary trouble by stirring things up now wasn’t ideal.
His plan remained the top priority.
So, upon seeing the other party’s arrival, he immediately charged forward.
Even if Xue Dao wouldn’t die, he would still take him away eventually.
It was just a matter of time.
But Jian Wushuang didn’t want any part of this.
It would be best to kill them both and leave quickly.
He didn’t want to be recognized.
Babidi confronted Marquis Tie Dan with his men.
Meanwhile, Jian Wushuang, along with the red-haired youth, darted into a treacherous area within the s.h.i.+ Kingdom, much like walking a dog.
This place was known as Fallen Phoenix Valley.
Legend had it that a primordial true spirit being had fallen here.
That being was a naturally born Universe Master, immensely powerful, even more so than the nine great Beast G.o.ds of the Moro s.p.a.cetime.
Each of them was at the Seventh Tribulation.
But regardless of how powerful these primordial spirits were, they all eventually fell into the hands of stronger individuals.
For the human race, that stronger individual was the Patriarch of the s.h.i.+ Kingdom.
During his peak, slaying such primordial spirits was relatively simple.
When a primordial spirit being fell, their physical body and the essence of their divine power would merge into the valley where they fell.
The Fallen Phoenix Valley came into existence from then on.
After countless epochs of exploration, there were hardly any secrets left here.
Not to mention the Universe Master, even Emperors rarely ventured here.
It was simply vast.
This attracted many to come and test their luck.
Jian Wushuang chose this place to conceal himself.
The forbidding law rules here couldn’t stop his steps.
He recklessly surged forward, shattering the s.p.a.ce around him.
The red-haired youth chased from behind, watching Jian Wushuang as he maneuvered through perilous terrain, thinking he had reached a dead end, unaware that this was to be his final resting place.
“Kid, there’s no escaping. If you stop now, I might consider taking you in as my pet!”
The red-haired youth laughed arrogantly, as if he were hunting, effortlessly pursuing Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang, flying ahead, glanced back, feeling he had reached the limit.
He had already reached the deepest part of Fallen Phoenix Valley.

Jian Wushuang, flying ahead, glanced back, feeling he had reached the limit.
He had already reached the deepest part of Falling Phoenix Cliff.
Even peak experts couldn’t enter this place.
In the past, there had been Tribulation Realm experts who came here, as well as some weaker Universe Masters.
But not anymore.
And he wasn’t afraid of being seen by outsiders.
Swis.h.!.+
Jian Wushuang bent his legs, abruptly halting his movement, then slowly straightened up, not turning around immediately. In the blink of an eye, the red-haired youth caught up.
Facing away from his pursuer.
His hand kept trembling, ready to draw his sword at any moment.
This battle would reveal their true strength.
“No place left to run!” The red-haired youth raised his head arrogantly, his face ice-cold.
Clang!
Crack!
Click!
A series of sounds rang out simultaneously. Jian Wushuang drew his sword in an instant, his toes lightly tapping the ground as his body leaned back, the Jueyun Sword already in his hand.
His divine power surged to four hundred thousand in an instant.
It all happened so quickly. Jian Wushuang utilized the true essence of time, causing time to momentarily stop in Falling Phoenix Cliff.
The Universe Master at the Fourth Tribulation, the deputy sect master of the Blood Robe Sect, couldn’t react in time. By the time he wanted to draw his sword to defend, his gaze had already started to drift away.
His physical body shattered in an instant.
A burst of blood mist erupted, leaving him completely stunned.
The blood mist reconstructed his body, a pinnacle secret technique of the Blood Robe Sect.
However, he hadn’t expected that today, facing an Emperor, he would immediately resort to using the blood mist—a technique typically reserved for life-threatening situations.
“You!” The red-haired youth, having reformed his body, pointed at Jian Wushuang, still gazing at his broad back.
“What sword did you just use?”
The red-haired youth was dumbfounded!
He couldn’t believe Jian Wushuang could be so powerful.
He had encountered the strongest Emperors of the Black Sky, who could rival the Universe Masters in general.
Their divine power peaked at 250,000.
But Jian Wushuang exceeded 400,000.
In that momentary eruption just now, he surpa.s.sed 500,000.
It was simply unbelievable.
He was even more powerful than some great divine officials.
Swis.h.!.+
Clang!
Jian Wushuang shook his arm, wielding the decisive cloud with ease.
Glancing sideways, he said coldly, “Just an ordinary Eternal Treasure!”
The red-haired youth couldn’t believe it; he felt Jian Wushuang was trying to deceive him. He kept his gaze firmly fixed on the Jueyun Sword in Jian Wushuang’s hand.
But the sword seemed nothing special. Clearly, the other party didn’t recognize the vitality within the Wanliu Willow Forest, so they hadn’t noticed anything.
As he scrutinized the armor on Jian Wushuang’s body, he froze. “Innate Origin Source! You actually possess a Universe Treasure of Innate Origin Source!” The red-haired youth seemed to grasp why Jian Wushuang was so powerful.
Jian Wushuang, however, scoffed, shaking his head in response. “Is this all the insight a Lesser Sect Master of an eight-star sect possesses?”
To him, it was merely a Beast G.o.d Weapon; nothing to fuss over.
There used to be many treasures like this in the Ancient Moon s.p.a.cetime, but with the pa.s.sage of time, very few remain intact.
Locations like the Fallen Phoenix Valley here were where primordial beings had perished, wasting both their physical bodies and their origins.
Otherwise, it would have been a treasure even more potent than a Beast G.o.d Weapon.
“Hmph, lucky arrogant brat!” The red-haired youth abandoned his worry and panic, appearing even more composed now.
Jian Wushuang also began to feel uneasy.
