Invincible Dad-Chapter 804: He Wouldn’t Dare!
So it turns out that Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven is not the same as Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven.
His Dao.
Was it really wrong?
First time leaving seclusion in seventy thousand years, first time battling in seventy thousand years, first time getting injured in seventy thousand years...
Too many firsts.
Ji Changgeng felt a torrent of emotions as he lay in the starry sky, looking at the bright stars forming one brilliant line after another.
Truly beautiful.
So beautiful that the brightness gradually blurred Ji Changgeng’s eyes: "Turns out I’ve been wrong all these seventy thousand years."
"Third Elder!"
A familiar and desperate cry reached his ears.
"Old Seven, the Dao I cultivated is wrong."
Ji Changgeng held tightly to the guqin, his former pride becoming increasingly shattered as his life slipped away, to the point where he didn’t consume any elixir to delay his death.
"Third Elder, hold on, the ancestors will come to save you."
Ji Biyun said urgently, still engaged in battle with the Nine Phoenix Clan’s Quasi-Emperor Bai He, her divided attention filled with urgency.
"Old Seven, isn’t cultivation in the Immortal Domain particularly fun? When you meet someone who doesn’t agree, you fight until they submit..."
The Third Elder muttered to himself: "I kind of regret it."
The light in his eyes gradually faded.
Simultaneously, a pale blue meteor shower burst across the sky, flying across the universe into the star systems along its path.
"Third Elder!!!"
Ji Biyun was on the verge of tears; the Third Elder had actually chosen to pass away prematurely in the starry sky, even though he could have held on for a bit longer.
"Didn’t your master teach you that distracting yourself during a battle is a big taboo?"
Accompanied by a mocking voice, a snow-white feather pinned itself into Ji Biyun’s back at an extremely tricky angle.
"Poof—"
A mouthful of golden blood was spat out.
Ji Biyun, disheveled, roared in anger: "Does your Nine Phoenix Clan really want to go to war with my Ji Family!"
"Thousands of years old and still so naive. Do you really think your Ji Family can dominate the Immortal Domain?"
The Heavenly Dao, eating candied hawthorn skewers, clicked its tongue: "You can’t actually believe that, can you?"
"Jiu Kongsi, are you looking to die? Don’t think I won’t dare to kill you just because you have the Heavenly Court backing you!" Ji Biyun glared back.
"Though I am the Emissary of Great Emperor Qingfeng, the Great Emperor of the Nine Phoenix Clan is here. Killing me in front of the Great Emperor of the Nine Phoenix Clan, whose face do you think you’re saving?"
Sikong Jiu swallowed a candied hawthorn skewer, chuckling: "The Ji Family can show face to Great Emperor Qingfeng but not to the Great Emperor of the Nine Phoenix Clan? If I were provoked like this, I wouldn’t be able to hold back. This clearly shows no regard for the Great Emperor of the Nine Phoenix Clan!"
"..."
Bai He furrowed her brows: "Out of respect for Great Emperor Qingfeng, get back to Earth."
"Oh."
The Heavenly Dao stopped its sarcastic remarks, picked up a small bench, and zipped back to Earth.
It wasn’t because it feared being killed by a Ji Family Quasi-Emperor or that the Nine Phoenix Clan’s Quasi-Emperor would stand idly by. Mainly, when out and about, it’s better to value peace, no need to squabble with two little girls.
He, Sikong Jiu.
Is always magnanimous.
Wouldn’t be petty enough to prepare a complaint for when The Supreme Emperor returns.
"Great Emperor Jiu Feng... is still alive." Ji Biyun felt constrained.
"Damn Jiu Kongsi!"
Bai He looked gloomy.
The Earth Heavenly Dao deliberately revealed this news, clearly not wanting the Nine Phoenix Clan to have a chance to reconcile with the Ji Family Quasi-Emperor.
"Sigh."
A light sigh resonated.
Ji Biyun trembled as if facing a great enemy, seeing a transparent phoenix with nine heads and tails floating out from the crater on the other side of the Moon.
Neither the humans building Chang’an City nor the Moon Clan’s army retreating over a hundred miles could see it.
Only two people could see it.
One was Ji Biyun, the other was Bai He.
"Master." Bai He respectfully saluted.
"You couldn’t possibly still be alive; the lord in the temple clearly deduced that you had long since..."
Ji Biyun suddenly became hysterical: "It’s the False Death Pill from Cloud Water Rust, you took the False Death Pill!"
"Shriek!"
The phoenix cry echoed.
The transparent nine-headed nine-tailed phoenix swept past, and once the phoenix flew away, there was no trace of the Ji Family’s Quasi-Emperor left.
Only that translucent phoenix suddenly became more solid.
...
...
Both Quasi-Emperors of the Ji Family are dead.
One was devoured by Nine Phoenix, the other chose to pass away early. The former was within Xu Lai’s expectations, the latter somewhat unexpected.
Xu Lai thought Ji Changgeng would stubbornly catch up, fighting him in one last pinnacle battle.
But.
Xu Lai overestimated the other.
Unable to see heaven or earth, it was never the Great Dao.
Xu Lai made a gesture, and the million knives hovering behind him transformed into streams of light, disappearing to different places in the Four Immortal Domains.
Some went to the Dead Realm, some to various Tao Lineages of the Holy Lands, and others fell into the mortal world.
"Puff"
"Puff"
"Puff"
The sound of flesh and blood being pierced one after another.
Initially, there were angry and dissatisfied voices in the Four Immortal Domains.
But as the elders from sects or clans began perishing, no one dared to stop these knives heading to different locations.
Because all the dead were from the Ji Family, their boundaries all in the Celestial Venerable Realm.
In less than ten breaths, aside from those shivering in the Ji Family, all external Celestial Venerables met a tragic end, leaving not an atom of their souls.
...
In a distant Star Domain never reached by anyone.
In the Ji Family’s ancestral hall, five figures knelt on mats, faces filled with sorrow.
They were the first, second, fourth, fifth, and sixth ancestors’ chief disciples, also Supreme Elders of the Ji Family.
"Ji Family’s Celestial Venerables are nearly halved, Xu Qingfeng has killed 471 people...please, Master, awaken!"
"Please, Master, awaken!"
The five of them heavily struck their heads on the ground, leaving blood marks, yet those seven plaques did not respond in the slightest.
Celestial Venerable Realm.
Life span of fifty thousand years, no longer suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.
In any top force within the Immortal Domain, they are a storm-bringer.
However, all the Celestial Venerables the Ji Family painstakingly and laboriously placed in the Immortal Domain as spies or plants were all slain by Xu Qingfeng, without any mercy.
The knife used.
Was still the long knife condensed by the Third Elder’s guqin using Spiritual Energy!
This is not just about killing, but also a deep humiliation to the Ji Family.
If they cannot reclaim their ground today, how will the Ji Family stand in the Immortal Domain in the future? They will probably become the laughingstock!
However, though these five are Quasi-Emperors, they do not dare, like the stubborn Ji Changgeng, to leave the Ji Family and choose to fight Xu Qingfeng.
There is a chasm between Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Realm, impossible to cross.
Even at the same realm, it is the same.
"Master!!!"
The first Supreme Elder appeared desperate: "Will you and the other masters just watch Xu Qingfeng kill the Ji Family’s direct bloodline?"
A sigh echoed within the ancestral hall.
The five Supreme Elders were overjoyed; an ancestor had awakened.
Yet the words of the ancestor made them feel as though they had fallen into an ice cave:
"They’re just Celestial Venerables, let them die. It’s the Ji Family’s fault. The Era of the Emperor’s Fall is approaching, do not provoke him further."
"But Master, our Ji Family still has dozens of Immortal Venerables outside. If he continues..."
The first Supreme Elder was a bit reluctant; after all, this was a rare and justifiable opportunity to act against Great Emperor Qingfeng.
"He wouldn’t dare."
