The Immortal Emperor gazed into the distance, his face still somewhat stiff with a hint of rigidity. He had not died, but there was no longer a place for him in the world today.
"You must know, if it weren't for me, would you still be alive in the hands of that brat?"
"..."
"Well, let's put that aside for now. Let's talk about this: if it wasn't for me granting you such an opportunity back then, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to break through to the Nine Mindset Realm now, would you?"
"...Yes."
The Immortal Emperor dared not say anything in front of the shadowy figure, as if he were talking to his own parents.
"Very well!" The shadowy figure smiled slightly, pointing at the Immortal Emperor and speaking with a smirk, "The Warlord Tian now considers you dead. I'm afraid he'll go after Warlord Yan for settling scores soon. All you have to do now is one thing."
"What is it?!"
"Hmph, of course, it's to sit back and watch the tigers fight."
As the shadow spoke, Chi also gradually fell silent.
However, this left the Immortal Emperor somewhat puzzled, especially regarding the impending duel between Warlord Tian and Warlord Yan.
"Don't worry about that. Warlord Yan hasn't been staying idle in the Boundless Realm for all these years. You must understand, those who can be called the Four Emperors are not so easily defeated."
"But Warlord Tian has already reached the Immortal Transformation Realm..."
"Wrong. Though Warlord Tian is indeed a master in the Immortal Transformation Realm, exterminating you would be a piece of cake... But Warlord Yan's strength has probably already advanced to the early stage of the Immortal Transformation Realm. Of course, even with only half a foot in the Immortal Transformation Realm, he wouldn't be able to match Warlord Tian. But Warlord Tian, wanting to defeat Warlord Yan, probably still has a long way to go!"
...
Juxi and Yukari had been staying in the Holy Imperial City for quite some time, but they didn't find it as comfortable as rumored.
"Sister, this place is not quite as Father described. I feel like something is amiss with our presence here."
Having been out for some time to gain experience, the two were already fed up with the monotony of Clearwater Mountain. They hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the prosperity of the Capital before being plunged into this war.
The situation outside was grim, and Juxi just wanted to hide here for peace, waiting for the storm to pass so they could leave.
"Hmph, with your Nine Mindset Realm strength, I feel you won't even be able to leave this place, right?"
"Of course!" Faced with Yukari's mocking, Juxi remained calm and composed, "If you were in my shoes, you would think the same. I'm in a terrible situation now, you have no idea why I came here in the first place as I had no purpose to begin with."
"Hmph, I'm not interested in your affairs. Take a rest when you can, or practice some skills..."
Yukari usually paid no attention to Juxi's actions, but now she seemed to show concern towards Juxi, which surprised Juxi.
The once bustling Capital had been ravaged into ruins by this brutal war. More than half of the city's buildings had been completely destroyed, with little hope of restoration. Juxi looked out the window, feeling a heaviness in his heart.
"This battle is no longer at the usual Boundless level!" Yukari, who was at the Boundless level, had realized, "Powerful beings at the Immortal Transformation Realm have entered the fray, things are getting more chaotic..."
Yukari almost couldn't sense that person's presence. She took out the jade pendant given to her by her master and said, "Even Master's Chi jade pendant seems ineffective now. It seems someone has truly transcended the Boundless level... Of course, Chi can still sense it, they should have just stepped out of the Boundless level, right?"
"What?!" Juxi almost roared, "Why be afraid of just partially stepping out of the Boundless level? Although I'm only at the Profound Oneness level now, in actual combat, even against Warlord Yan, I..."
"You'll be beaten to a pulp!"
Yukari was never one to mince words, especially considering Warlord Yan had been at the peak of the Boundless level for many years.
Honestly, facing Juxi, Warlord Yan could easily crush numerous Boundless level experts with just a wave of his hand.
"Hmph, but you're still here." Juxi smiled faintly, "It's best to be cautious. Wasting time here is the worst decision. After all, I have reached the level of Boundless myself..."
"What did you say?!"
Yukari was shocked by Juxi's claim. The appearance of the term 'Boundless' on Juxi was unbelievable to Yukari, but considering Juxi was already so close to the Boundless level, it wasn't that surprising he had reached it now.
Yukari's sudden change in expression caught Juxi off guard, but he calmed down only after she returned to her normal self.
The situation of the battle had worsened, with little room for recovery... But thinking about it, it had nothing to do with them. It was best to watch from a distance and remain an outsider.
