Chapter 217: Do You Think You Can Escape?

"Senior!"

"This is bad!"

"Ling Xiao is here!"

Within the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, Ren Qingtu's face drained of color. He stood at the entrance without going out, turning to shout loudly.

After shouting, he looked up at the sky.

He saw the winds and clouds converge, endless dark clouds gathering to form a hand covering a radius of tens of thousands of li, its lines clearly visible.

Terrifyingly powerful Quasi-Emperor might spread out.

Before it had even descended, it caused countless people to spit blood and faint directly.

It was simply too terrifying.

Facing the palm strike of a Quasi-Emperor, they didn't even have the will to resist. With only a Saint-level formation, they were nothing like the Nine Nether Demon Sect or the Blazing Flame Sacred Land.

One had a Quasi-Emperor-level guardian formation, the other an Emperor-level formation.

Ling Xiao could not break through them.

But Great Desolate City was different. The might of a Quasi-Emperor was all-pervasive. To kill everyone was a matter of a single thought. The only reason he had not acted yet was to test the depths of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

"I see it."

Li Yun stood up, walked to the entrance, and looked at the hand in the sky. He let out a soft sigh. It seemed the three hundred thousand Heavenly Secrets Points were not to be kept after all.

In his mind, a thought moved.

"RUMBLE!"

Within Great Desolate City, a heaven-shaking surge of vital energy and blood shot up, piercing the firmament and startling all living beings of the myriad domains in this world!

Everyone turned to gaze in one direction. No matter how far, no matter the distance, they all saw that boundless golden brilliance!

A vast, heaven-shaking surge of vital energy and blood. A figure of ultimate magnificence stood between heaven and earth, his vigorous life force erupting like a volcano, stirring the very heavens.

The endless winds and clouds shattered.

The sky-blotting hand was instantly turned to nothingness.

The myriad Daos of heaven and earth seemed to wail, unable to resist submission. Countless living beings knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling, hearts filled with terror.

If before, there were still people who doubted the strength of the Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

At this moment, all doubt vanished into thin air!

The Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was a living Great Emperor!

And he was a leader among Great Emperors!

Just by this bearing that could dominate the world and look down upon all beings, one could not help but feel awe rise in their heart.

"RUMBLE!"

Between heaven and earth, a young figure stood. He appeared to be only about twenty years old, his black hair like a waterfall, cascading naturally, as he stood in the vast firmament, looking down on all living things.

Like a celestial emperor reborn, possessing supreme might!

"It's Senior Pavilion Master!"

With Great Desolate City at the center, a storm swept through a radius of several million li. Many were crying out "Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets," their eyes filled with fervent zeal.

Previously, in the Blazing Flame Sacred Land, the will of the Ancient Emperor of Blazing Flame had descended, allowing many to witness the bearing of a Great Emperor.

But today, the Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had revealed his true form, allowing even more people to witness the true bearing of a living Great Emperor. The two were simply incomparable!

"The Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is truly a Great Emperor!"

Ling Xiao was stunned.

He looked at the distant scene, his heart devoid of any will to fight. If it had been the will of a Great Emperor, he might have dared to fight. But a living Great Emperor…

He had no such thoughts.

Those who could become Great Emperors were no mediocrities—they were all the prodigies of their respective eras. In their eyes, "fighting above one's level" simply did not exist.

"Leave!"

Ling Xiao did not hesitate, turning to flee.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Like a thunderclap, the sound rumbled and echoed, causing countless people's vital energy and blood to churn.

"RUMBLE!"

Space shattered. A golden fist descended from the sky, carrying an invincible will, annihilating all things. Countless stars were turned to dust beneath this single punch. The endless, vast starfield trembled.

From a distance, it looked like a golden meteor with a long, fiery tail, falling from the nine heavens, the Emperor's might like a tide, drowning everything.

This scene was extremely terrifying, like a celestial emperor bent on destroying the world.

"NO!" Ling Xiao roared.

He'd never thought he would encounter such a Great Emperor. The strength of the Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was too terrifying. Even among all Great Emperors in history, he was definitely no weakling.

"DONG!"

The earth shook, the ground heaving like a great ocean, raising boundless giant waves. All the mountains and rivers were instantly turned to dust.

With a single punch, everything ceased to exist.

Tens of thousands of li from Great Desolate City, a barren wasteland had been forcefully blasted into existence, not a single blade of grass growing.

A long time later, the golden light dissipated, receding like a tide. Great Desolate City was just as it had been before, having been protected by Li Yun from the very beginning, suffering no damage.

But at this moment, within Great Desolate City, the gaze of every single person toward the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was different.

A Great Emperor!

A living Great Emperor!

Right not far from them. In the past, they'd even been fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Throughout all of history, how many people had been able to see a Great Emperor up close?

With a Great Emperor nearby, a deep sense of security rose in the hearts of the countless people in Great Desolate City. In the entire world, there was likely no place safer than this.

With a Great Emperor presiding over it, even if another of the same level were to come, they would not dare to be too discourteous.
