The Dragon Lord guided the chariot back to Dawu directly after leaving the Holy Imperial City.


    On the chariot, a person of fierce countenance sat royally with solemnity, while the three women above appeared to be discussing something.


    This was Chu Yuan’s ancient emperor chariot.


    Upon leaving the realm of the Holy Heaven, there was a vast shattered area between it and Dawu. This area originally flourished with civilization, powerful clans, and numerous ancient cities.


    However, all of these were destroyed in a war that affected a great world.


    Mountains and rivers were shattered, and the iron-clad cavalry marched relentlessly.@@@@


    One emperor’s success led to the eternal desolation. To be crowned emperor was not just to rise from desolation, but to tread atop countless corpses and ascend to the peak.


    The one on the chariot, looking at the remnants of the war, seemed to be lost in thought.


    Suddenly, the two Dragon Lords stopped, issuing anxious roars, seemingly sensing something. Instantly, an elderly man dressed in green appeared before them.


    His aura was connected to the entire great world.


    A Holy Deity!


    This was a being of a Holy Deity level.


    "I, the Evergreen Holy Deity, am a high official under the Great Emperor of Longevity and am well aware of the prestigious name of the Martial Emperor. I have always wanted to meet the Martial Emperor, and now that I see him, he is indeed extraordinary — a hero among men," said the Evergreen Holy Deity, looking at Chu Yuan.


    From the looks of it, he had been especially waiting for Chu Yuan here.


    "Oh? You intentionally waited for me," Chu Yuan said calmly.


    "I couldn’t personally visit your empire, so I could only take this opportunity to wait for you. You’ve caused us a lot of trouble. Without you, the battle within the Everlasting Realm would have ended by now," the Evergreen Holy Deity said, his face cold and murderous intent clear. "See the shattered landscapes? Without your resistance, it wouldn’t have been so grievous."


    "So, in the end, I’m in the wrong?" Chu Yuan asked.


    "You cannot stand in the way of the power of the emperor or the Great Emperor. You cannot stop the plan of the Five Emperors. You should perform seppuku; as long as you die, after the fall of your empire, I can assure you, there won’t be any retaliation," said the Evergreen Holy Deity.


    Transforming into a huge dragon, he fiercely struck at the ancient emperor chariot with his dragon claw. Meanwhile, the Evergreen Holy Deity conjured a green vortex, enveloping them both.


    The combination of the two Holy Deities, even a master like the Holy Imperial Lord would not dare take lightly.


    But Chu Yuan on the ancient emperor chariot did not panic. Instead, he looked extremely calm, and was instantly engulfed by the radiance of the two Holy Deities. Your next read is at novelhall.Co?m


    "The two Holy Deities are joining forces. He can’t escape this time. We must kill him!"


    The Punishing Dragon Saint’s eyes were cold. Just as he was about to unleash an even stronger attack, his pupils suddenly contracted!


    Before his eyes, the ancient emperor chariot had disappeared, as if a talisman had turned to ashes!


    Every trace of the two Dragon Lords was also gone.


    "Did he use some kind of technique to escape?" The Punishing Dragon Saint cried out in surprise.


    But when he investigated the void with his Divine Sense, he didn’t find any signs of spatial displacement.


    "Not right; that was a fake! It wasn’t his real body!" The Evergreen Holy Deity shouted.


    "A fake?" groped The Punishing Dragon Saint," Are you saying, the Martial Emperor we saw earlier was not the real one, but a false one conjured up by some technique of his? So we’ve been deceived by him?"


    "There’s no other explanation. I understand now. He used some kind of talisman to duplicate his and the Dragon Lords’ aura. Impressive! What kind of talisman was it? The duplicate was so real that even when he talked with me, I didn’t sense anything unusual at all."


    It was too real.


    The Evergreen Holy Deity didn’t detect any fiction at all.


    This really made him more alert. Chu Yuan had taken out another unexpected treasure, deceiving his eyes, and thus arousing even greater apprehension towards Dawu.


    "Damn it, he made a fool out of us with a simple talisman! Two Holy Deities were tricked and engaged in a conversation with a fake person! How did this Martial Emperor manage to rise in power like this?" The Punishing Dragon Saint was furious.


    This time he came with foolproof preparation, intending to free the two Dragon Lords. But in the end, he didn’t gain anything, instead being made a fool of.


    "The Martial Emperor is indeed not easy to deal with," said the Evergreen Holy Deity," Want to visit my Everlasting Empire ruled by the Emperor of Longevity?"


    "No, I’m afraid once I entered your empire, I’d never leave," the Punishing Dragon Saint replied coldly,"I have other things to deal with."
