The sound reached the trio''s secret hideaway.


    Elder Cliffside exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be possible that the Martial Emperor Dawu already knows the location of our hideaway?"


    "Impossible!" Elder Cyan shook her head violently, "My siblings and I spent countless years building this refuge, and have hidden it within the very origin of the void. How could the Martial Emperor possibly find it?"


    However, they saw through their hideaway that the real body of the Martial Emperor had not arrived yet, instead a massive mana hand was slamming into the void.


    The void quivered, their hideaway shook violently. The three elders of the sea and mountains knew they could no longer hide, they emerged from the hideaway to see a divine light radiating from the distance.


    "Emperor Dawu, we are deeply honored by your visit from afar. We, the three elders from the sea and mountains, have come to receive you!"


    Elder Seascape was the calmest as he watched the front.


    The Divine Army arrived first, with an overwhelming and murderous momentum!


    "Dawu''s Divine Army!"


    The pupils of the three elders of the sea and mountains shrank rapidly.


    They had heard of the Divine Army. Its members were all exceptionally strong, with the weakest among them displaying supernatural powers. Their vast number, counted in tens of thousands, was terrifying.


    "Presumptuous! The Emperor has arrived and you''re in the territory of Dawu. Why aren''t you kneeling to welcome him?"


    The Celestial God Tianhong rebuked sharply.


    "You! A lowly Celestial God! I would annihilate you in the blink of an eye and you dare to be insolent before me!"


    Elder Cliffside flew into a rage.


    When had a Celestial God ever been this presumptuous before a Heavenly God?


    Among the three elders, Elder Seascape was the calmest, Elder Cliffside the most volatile, and Elder Cyan the wisest.


    Elder Cyan immediately said, "Since his Majesty is here, we should indeed welcome him. However, since we are not subjects of Dawu, we cannot honor him with the etiquettes of our subjects."


    "None of you three elders make a move."


    The ancient battle chariot of the Emperor crossed the sky, and the specter of the Heavenly Emperor appeared.


    Sitting atop it was a powerful presence, ruling over the world. With an indifferent gaze, he was looking at the three elders.


    "Emperor Dawu!"


    The hearts of the three elders trembled violently as they looked at the Martial Emperor. After all, rumors had it that he was capable of slaying the Heavenly Gods.


    But were these rumors true or false?


    Honestly, they could hardly believe them.


    "This is Dawu''s supreme ruler!"


    The people on Seascape Island, watching this majestic figure, were overwhelmed by an oppressive aura that left them breathless.


    "Your Majesty, what brings you here today?"


    "I''m fine!"


    Elder Seascape looked at the bloodstain on his chest with lingering fear. He had, of course, recognized that move. It was the Great Cut Technique that cut through the void.


    "Big Brother, if the three of us join forces, I don''t believe that this Martial Emperor is so powerful that we can''t resist!"


    Elder Cliffside let out a howl, striking out fiercely with palm prints that could shake the heavens. The earth was torn asunder as if a column holding up the sky had been crushed. The entire infinite sky seemed to be pulled down.


    Elder Cyan''s eyes flashed, and a dry wooden crutch appeared in her hand.


    "Withering Glow!"


    A dark light shot out.


    This Withering Glow could weaken one''s opponent''s mana, as if plants had withered in winter.


    However, the sight of the trio joining forces didn''t alter Chu Yuan''s expression in the least. Operating the ancient imperial battle chariot, he cast the Great Thunder Technique with his left hand and the Great Combat Technique with his right, defeating the forces of Elder Cliffside and Elder Cyan one after the other.


    His momentum surged to its peak!


    "This Martial Emperor is formidable, we can''t be complacent!"


    Elder Seascape warned, and being the most powerful, he launched an attack.


    With one palm, countless strange phenomena appeared, and many mountain shadows overlapped, giving off a heavy atmosphere as they pressed down on Chu Yuan.


    "Big Brother''s power is close to breaking through to the fifth level of the Void God!" Elder Cyan secretly noted.


    Her dry wooden crutch suddenly changed color, becoming lush green, and countless orchids appeared, forming a field exclusive to the Void Gods.


    Elder Cliffside also made his move.


    When the three of them combined forces, their power was vast and unending, creating a force far greater than their own capabilities.


    "Martial Emperor, back down! You can''t break our power!"


    Elder Seascape roared.


    "The Glory of the Gods!"


    "The Brilliance of the Instant!"


    Under the glory of the gods, Chu Yuan transformed into a brilliant glow, like a strike of an instantaneous meteor. Glory and brilliance reflected upon each other, the most dazzling force directly striking the three elders.


    Splat!


    Despite their combined strength, this force shattered their defenses in an instant. On suffering the backlash, the three elders were thrown back, spitting out blood dramatically.


    The three elders couldn''t handle them well, even when they combined their strengths.


    Elder Cliffside and Elder Cyan suddenly watched in horror as a beam of light struck, crying out, "Big Brother, be careful!"


    Bang!


    In the instant their thoughts fluttered, this brilliant force had already hit Elder Seascape''s body.
