Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 1685 - 1676: Lingjue Peak

"Who... who exactly are you people? How dare you offend the Holy Emperor? If his true body were to descend today, he would surely suppress you!"

The crowd did not disperse but gathered together, discussing fervently. Suddenly, a middle-aged man emerged from the crowd, looking at the five evil demons with a trace of anger, questioning them.

"Are you from the Divine Martial Alliance?"

The evil demon smiled and did not answer the middle-aged man’s words, but instead asked him a question in return.

"So what if I am?"

The middle-aged man frowned.

"Hehe..."

There was no need for the evil demon to say anything further. Xuanyuan Kongbai stood out again, his cold gaze fixed intently on the middle-aged man, and suddenly a glint of icy light flashed by.

"Buzz..."

The void trembled slightly, and then, with a casual wave, a streak of Holy Light shot forth like a sickle blade, slicing through the middle-aged man in the blink of an eye, killing him instantly.

"From today onward, any member of the Divine Martial Alliance we encounter will meet the same fate as him."

The entire scene was in an uproar, and Xuanyuan Kongbai’s words clearly reached everyone’s ears. Was this a retaliatory strike against the Divine Martial Alliance?

It was tantamount to declaring war on the Martial Alliance!

Over the millennia, how many have dared to provoke such a behemoth as the Martial Alliance?

Who exactly are these five mysterious young experts?

And where did they come from?

Amidst all the doubts and discussions, the five evil demons finally left the place, heading southward towards the direction of the Divine Martial Alliance and the Divine Emperor City.

"The five mysterious young experts amaze the world, openly challenging the Holy Emperor, now heading south, claiming they will flatten the Emperor City!"

That very day, such a message spread across the entire Real World with astonishing speed, propagating to almost every corner. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The world was in shock. After all these years, apart from the former Divine King Body, is there anyone else in the younger generation who dares to challenge a Martial Alliance?

They are even going to assault the Divine Emperor City, swearing to compare themselves to Emperor Wu.

Such arrogant words, in the past, would have led to those speaking them being swiftly dealt with by the Martial Alliance.

However, as the battle that took place within Gusu City also spread, people were thoroughly horrified.

The manifestation of the Holy Emperor’s intention was actually slain by that mysterious expert, such brazen and arrogant acts amounting to a great provocation to a Holy Emperor powerhouse.

More importantly, being able to slay a Dao Body formed from a Holy Emperor Great Power’s intention indicates that these individuals must possess formidable strength.

For a time, the entire Real World was once again in turmoil, and almost everyone’s attention was focused on the Divine Martial Alliance.

"The Holy Emperor is the supreme of our Real World Human Race in this era, not to be offended; your claim to flatten the Emperor City is nothing less than a great affront to the Holy Emperor!"

On the second day after the message spread, somewhere within the mountains of the Divine Martial Alliance, there existed a certain sect, not a Sacred Land, but its strength was second only to the Sacred Land.

White Moon Sect!

After years of development within the Divine Martial Alliance, they had become one of the strongest forces under the Sacred Land within the Real World.

The White Moon Sect Master once received guidance from the Holy Emperor in his youth, allowing him to soar high and establish this sect; now, hearing of the evil demons’ southwards actions, the White Moon Sect Master could not help but grow angry.

In his mind, the Sacred Land is an inviolable existence, and no one should ever violate it.

"Rumble!"

However, that very day, the Mountain Protection Array of the White Moon Sect was breached, and a Void Giant Hand descended from the sky, flattening the entire sect, causing countless casualties among the disciples, wails echoing throughout the mountains.

"Anyone related to the Divine Martial Alliance, or even speaking on their behalf, will share the same fate as others."

The cold voice of the evil demon echoed among the mountains, the descending Void Giant Hand being his doing.

After laying waste to the White Moon Sect with one hand, the group of five did not linger, leaving the scene immediately.

The fate of the White Moon Sect, however, thoroughly shook many people.

Especially those major sects that had good relations with the Divine Martial Alliance, who fell silent.

"As powerful as the White Moon Sect was, rumored to sanctify on the spot after a millennium, who would have thought they would be destroyed by an enemy’s single blow, with at least eighty percent of the disciples dead or injured, and the Sect Master killed outright!"

"It’s terrifying! The White Moon Sect Master was a third-order expert of the Ancient God Realm, and now killed, who are these individuals?"

"Could they be geniuses from the Ancient Clan? After sixty years, are they preparing to strike against our Human Clan once more, this time openly challenging a supreme like the Holy Emperor?"

"According to those who saw them in Gusu City, these five do not belong to the Ancient Clan; moreover, with the Divine King Body reigning among us, after their losses decades ago, would the Ancient Clan dare to act recklessly?"

Many people continued discussing; up to this point, no one was able to clearly state the origin and identity of the evil demons.

"This will be the greatest upheaval in the Real World in sixty years!"

"I’ve heard that many powers from the Sacred Land, and even the strong leaders of the Martial Alliance, have long set off for Divine Emperor City; are they going to take action, or merely observe the upcoming battle?"

"This battle is worth watching, and to miss it would be to regret it for a lifetime!"

Many people, discussing among themselves, quickly began to move, and in less than three days, everyone had arrived within the Divine Martial Alliance.

On this day, a thousand miles from Divine Emperor City, between the mountains, stood an isolated peak reaching into the clouds.

Lingjue Peak!

It is said in ancient times, during some gray era, it was incredibly difficult for an Ancient God expert to be born in this world.

But during that time, there was one who rose against the heavens and successfully achieved Divine Enthronement atop Lingjue Peak.

From that moment on, this place became a rare wondrous land in the world, with ongoing rumors of chances for Becoming God here.

From ancient times to the present, almost every period has seen a large number of cultivators come, not only to seek the so-called chance of Becoming God but also to join in the excitement.

After all, aside from opportunities, Lingjue Peak is also one of the rare scenic spots of the era.

"A thousand miles further, and we’ll reach Divine Emperor City. Shall we quicken our pace?"

Five figures arrived at the foot of Lingjue Peak, they were none other than the evil demons, with Xuanyuan Kongbai seemingly eager to charge into the Emperor City. That day, he let the Holy Emperor save Jun Ci and Xuan Xiao before his eyes, which was utterly disgraceful to him.

"No rush, they say Lingjue Peak is a rare scenic land in this realm, since we’re here, there’s no harm in taking a stroll," the evil demon said.

"Hehe, the Three Pure Realm of yesteryear was one of the truly great realms among the heavens. It would be good to look around, maybe we’ll stumble upon some opportunity," Luck Demon among the five also said with a laugh.

Eventually, the five of them ascended Lingjue Peak on foot.

"It really is a wondrous scenic place, yet beneath this Absolute Peak, there may well be a Dragon Vein restrained; although rare, it’s no miracle,"

As they reached the peak, gazing around at the surrounding mountains, the evil demon shook his head in disappointment.

"Hmm, there’s someone there?" Luck Demon suddenly spoke, pointing not far from their side. They saw at the edge of the cliff by Absolute Peak, a pavilion with two young figures sitting face to face within.

On the stone table before them were tea sets, the two of them indulging in conversation and tea, appearing at ease, without any attention drawn by the arrival of the evil demon and his group.

If anyone else were present, they would certainly recognize the two young men in the pavilion as top talents of the younger generation in the Real World—Green Emperor from the Green Martial Alliance and Lin Bai from Lingxiao Temple atop Divine Fall Mountain.
