Chapter 434: Some Rejoice, Some Lament!
The surging Purple Qi shot straight into the sky, making the entire World of Eternity witness this astonishing scene.

Every Emperor who was aware of the situation showed a look of shock, because they detected that person’s aura within the Purple Qi.

The Demon Lord from the Jiuyou Netherworld!

You see, the effect of the Hongmeng Purple Qi in the hands of an ordinary Emperor and in the hands of a renowned Nine Heavens Realm Emperor is completely different.

This time, the World of Eternity, which had just settled down for ten years, was likely to be shaken once again.

Because the Demon Lord does not possess the power that surpasses all Emperors of the Primordial Eternal Realm, like the Xuanming Tao Palace Master does.

Even though the Demon Lord is very strong, some longstanding Emperors know that the Sea Emperor and the Tao Ancestor, these two, have strength no less than that of the Demon Lord.

In the Xuanming Tao Palace, there are indeed some old monsters.

And with the strength of the Xueming Tao Palace Master, would he just let this Hongmeng Purple Qi that came to his door slip away? Nobody knows!

On the other side, Ye Feng’s eyes flashed with a divine light the instant Ziying released her aura.

This person really is impatient.

But he knew that Ziying was doing this for him, after all. She wanted to shift the attention onto herself so that Ye Feng and his companions could escape this vortex.

However, according to the Monument Spirit of the Heaven and Earth Stele, Ziying was merely a powerful entity of the Second-Level Qingming Heaven of the Nine Heavens Realm, albeit stronger than both the God Lord and the Supreme.

But the strength of the Sea Emperor and the Tao Ancestor is no worse than hers, not to mention the Xuanming Tao Palace, which has remained full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers and has not made a move yet.

He estimated that Xuanming’s strength reached the Realm of Six Heavens of Supreme Purity, but there should also be some that are of the Second and Third-Level, or even the Fourth-Level Heavens.

And yet no one had appeared at the moment, which was very strange.

However, since Ziying had already taken on this cause and effect, Ye Feng felt somewhat relieved.

After all, Ziying thought obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi would be simple, but what she didn’t know was that behind the Hongmeng Purple Qi, there was a real puppet master.

At that moment, Ye Feng even felt a bit sorry for her; after all, the endpoint of a Seeker is to make a wedding dress for someone else.

But he had no intention of telling Ziying the truth, especially since she had just tried to make a move against him.

Did she think he was unaware of those guys lying in ambush in the surrounding space?

Recognition is one thing, but it is only that, recognition. As for what Ziying said about being utmost intimate and closest friends?

Ye Feng did not take it seriously.

Mighty forces stirred the Wind and Fire, and as their power pierced through the sky, both the Supreme and the God Lord were stunned at this moment.

Not only were they stunned, but the Sea Emperor and the Tao Ancestor were equally taken aback.

“Tao brother, didn’t you say someone would make a move for us?”

“The person hasn’t made a move yet, and the Hongmeng Purple Qi is already handed over?”

The God Lord looked at the Supreme with an unhappy expression on his face. He was already regretting not taking action against Ye Feng and the others when they left the Heaven and Earth Stele. If he had, the Hongmeng Purple Qi would have been his by now.

Obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he could disregard the leader of the Eternity Camp, take the Purple Qi and leave the Primordial Eternal Realm for another World of Eternity, and after avoiding the watchful eyes of the Xuanming Tao Palace Master, he could then settle down and cultivate in peace.

But now, talking was useless.

Because even with both him and the Supreme combined, they wouldn’t be a match for that Demon Lord.

However, the actions of the Demon Lord might not go unnoticed by the Sea Emperor and the Tao Ancestor.

If these two were to make a move, there might still be a chance to exploit.

“Stay calm, we’re not the only ones in a hurry now!”

The Supreme had certainly thought of what the God Lord was considering, and so the two of them quietly waited for something. However, their sham alliance had seemingly already developed a crack at this moment.

“Tao Ancestor, your plan has fallen through!”

The Sea Emperor, with the appearance of a middle-aged muscular man, flashed a hint of anger in his eyes!

If it were a struggle for the Hongmeng Purple Qi between the two of them, he wouldn’t be angry, because they had temporarily formed an alliance while Ye Feng was on his way to the Jiuyou Netherworld.

But the issue was that the Hongmeng Purple Qi had gone directly into the hands of the Demon Lord.

The difficulty of obtaining it now was far greater than before.

Upon hearing the Sea Emperor’s words, the Tao Ancestor’s expression was also far from pleased, no longer displaying that detached and indifferent demeanor.

“That Demon Lord really has some tricks up her sleeve,” he said.

“However, her actions have diverted our attention, could it be to allow those individuals to escape from the vortex?”

“It must be said, she has succeeded!”

“Now, it’s likely that the strong ones from the Xuanming Tao Palace will make a move.”

Meanwhile, deep in the world of Xuanming Tao Palace, a glint of profound light crossed Xuanming’s eyes, his eyes narrowing slightly.

That the kid would hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi so readily was something he hadn’t expected.

After all, the Hongmeng Purple Qi is the foundation of becoming a true cultivator; whoever possesses the Hongmeng Purple Qi has the opportunity to reach the Transcendence Realm.

Cultivators are like fish in the vast sea, all wishing to free themselves from the binds of the ocean.

Yet even with the Hongmeng Purple Qi, it merely provides the opportunity to aspire for the Transcendence Realm, and does not guarantee future transcendence.

Like him who had cultivated for countless years, thus far he was only in the realm of the Six Heavens of Supreme Purity.

It had much to do with what he had seen in the Heaven and Earth Stele.

Yes, he had suppressed his cultivation level!

And it wasn’t just him, all those who carried Hongmeng Purple Qi and had entered the Heaven and Earth Stele were suppressing their cultivation levels.

Because they knew that at the end of the road, dark forces were lying in wait to pounce.

But the thing was, even though they suppressed their cultivation levels, the Hongmeng Purple Qi would still continuously enhance their power.

Now, several from among the strongest in the Nine Heavens Realm closest to the Transcendence Realm were struggling to keep suppressing it.

Sometimes, knowing the truth is more frightening.

And that was precisely what these people were feeling at the moment.

After all, no one wants to be someone else’s stepping stone after coming all this way.

Without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, one might have a chance to step into the Nine Heavens Realm, but to transcend would be purely illusory; among the countless many, perhaps not even one could stand out.

“Qing Zhu!”

Just then, Xuanming’s voice rang out, and a ripple spread through the space, revealing a figure appearing in front of Xuanming.

“Go on a journey, and bring back the Hongmeng Purple Qi!”

“If you bring it back, the Hongmeng Purple Qi will be yours!”

As soon as Xuanming uttered these words, the figure before him trembled violently, looking at Xuanming incredulously.

He was among the earliest who followed Xuanming, and under Xuanming’s intentional cultivation, his power had already reached the Fourth-Level Limitless Heaven Realm.

He was, aside from Xuanming himself, the second strongest in the true sense in the Primordial Eternal Realm.

Of course he knew that Xuanming possessed the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and Xuanming had never hidden it from him.

Of course, he was already very content with his current realm and power, as without Xuanming’s cultivation all the way, he would not have achieved what he had today.

But after knowing about the existence of the Hongmeng Purple Qi in the world, there was still some envy and loss in his heart.

Now, upon hearing Xuanming’s words, Qing Zhu trembled all over.

“Thank you, Palace Master, for your cultivation!”

“Qing Zhu will never forget the Palace Master’s grace!”
