Chapter 114: It Will Soon Be Ours

Shimmering Light Sacred Land.

High in the sky, two Imperial Weapons were locked in a standoff. After several clashes, the terrifying power had completely sunk the land for millions of li, creating a vast, boundless desert. Crimson lava spread wantonly across the earth.

As far as the eye could see, it was a scene of utter devastation.

After just a few exchanges, the two Great Saints had nearly exhausted their strength for further attacks. They were not Great Emperors, after all; forcibly activating an Imperial Weapon consumed an immense amount of energy.

The Blazing Flame Ancestor was also filled with apprehension. He sensed several divine senses probing the area from the sky. The master of each divine sense was no weaker than him, and their intentions were clearly hostile. If he were to exhaust his strength, there was no guarantee these people wouldn't harbor malicious thoughts.

On the other side, although the old woman from the Shimmering Light Sacred Land was pale, she remained calm and composed.

Behind her was the Shimmering Light Sacred Land.

With the protection of a Great Emperor's formation, even if she exhausted her last bit of strength, it didn't matter. After all, there were other Great Saints behind her. At worst, she could just activate the formation. As long as they waited for the Quasi-Emperor Ancestor to return, none of these people would be a match for them.

"Blazing Flame Ancestor, are you still not retreating?" the old woman said coldly.

Beside her, the Azure Dragon Cauldron hovered, its divine might intimidating the heavens. The nine azure dragons seemed alive, manifesting a star field that shook all the myriad realms.

"This old man has already told you, the Shimmering Light Sacred Lord is a person from the Heavenly Demon Palace. Do you really intend to protect him to the end?" the Blazing Flame Ancestor shouted coldly.

"Boom!"

The Blazing Flame Lamp above his head hummed, releasing an aura that could shatter the three realms and six paths—powerful, domineering, and boundless, intimidating all cultivators. The few Great Saints who had been investigating the news all retreated.

If the Imperial Weapons were to clash again, they were too close and would likely be caught in the crossfire.

"Nonsense!"

The old woman trembled with rage. This Blazing Flame Ancestor, with every word, claimed that her Sacred Lord was a spy. In this short time, the news had probably spread throughout the three thousand provinces! If she didn't stop it, the Shimmering Light Sacred Land would truly become a joke.

"This news came from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. It is true!" the Blazing Flame Ancestor said again.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of many powers who had been observing the battle lit up.

Could it be that the Shimmering Light Sacred Lord was really a spy from the Heavenly Demon Palace? This was explosive news, and it came from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, so its authenticity was nearly certain.

After all, the words "Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets" were now a golden signboard. A single Prodigy Leaderboard had convinced countless powers, without any embellishment.

"Just one side of the story. Do you have any evidence?" the old woman shouted coldly. "If there is no evidence, then today the Shimmering Light Sacred Land will fight your Blazing Flame Sacred Land to the death!"

"Bring out the Shimmering Light Sacred Lord and ask him, and we will know!" the Blazing Flame Ancestor said in a deep voice.

"Hmm?"

The old woman's eyes narrowed. She secretly transmitted her voice, asking a disciple to go to the Sect Master's Grand Hall. But not long after, the disciple quickly replied with a message.

The Shimmering Light Sacred Lord was in seclusion!

"In seclusion?"

The old woman's heart sank, a bad premonition rising. But now was not the time to deal with this matter. The most important thing was to force the Blazing Flame Ancestor to retreat first.

"What, you don't dare to summon the Shimmering Light Sacred Lord to confront this old man?" The Blazing Flame Ancestor took a step forward.

With a "hum," the surroundings collapsed. The Blazing Flame Lamp flickered, flashing with terrifying light. A wisp of azure-green flame burned through the sky. This was the fire of a Great Emperor, capable of melting the worlds, making countless people's hearts tremble with fear.

"Whether our Shimmering Light Sacred Lord is a spy or not is for us to judge. Why does an outsider need to interfere?" the old woman said coldly.

"In that case…"

The Blazing Flame Ancestor's hair and beard moved, the sun and moon circulating in his eyes, his aura rising to its peak. He said coldly, "Regarding the fall of my Blazing Flame Sacred Lord, your Shimmering Light Sacred Land has no intention of giving an explanation?"

"Then let us fight!"

As his words fell, the two Imperial Weapons shot into the sky at the same time.

As they were about to start fighting again, two figures, from far to near, silently arrived near the Shimmering Light Sacred Land.

"Is this an Imperial Weapon?"

Yang Qiu looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with profound shock, his heart pounding. If not for the ancestor's protection, a Saint like him wouldn't even be able to come to the center of the battle. He would have probably turned to dust the moment he got close.

"No need to be envious. It will soon be ours," Meng Qingzhi said with envy.

Having lost his Quasi-Emperor weapon, he was deeply covetous of a real Imperial Weapon. Not only was he covetous of the Shimmering Light Sacred Land's Imperial Weapon, but also of the Blazing Flame Sacred Land's. The ancient emperors of these two Sacred Lands had been confirmed to have fallen. It could be said that whoever snatched the Imperial Weapon would own it.

Right now, he could only snatch one. If he snatched this one, the other would be alerted and flee. Comparing the two, the Shimmering Light Sacred Land was a better deal.

Because their home base was right before his eyes. Not only could he snatch the Imperial Weapon, but he could also snatch their millions of years of heritage!

Meng Qingzhi took a deep breath, came to the grand formation, and a jade slip appeared in his hand. On it was recorded a route that could lead directly to the depths of the Shimmering Light Sacred Land.

"Let's go!"

Meng Qingzhi said, leading Yang Qiu and striding into it.
