Di Fifteen was fleeing while fighting with three men from the Black Fiend Sect at the rear. Judging by the accumulating injuries on his body, it was clear Di Fifteen was at the end of his rope.

Di Fifteen recklessly threw out numerous weapons, exploding them in the air. It seemed he was desperate, realizing that the Black Fiend Sect would not relent, so he began using treasures on his body, willing to detonate them to hinder the opposition’s advance.

Evidently, using self-detonating treasures to block the opponent had limited effectiveness.

When Di Fifteen saw four members of the Black Fiend Sect unexpectedly appear from ahead, his expression visibly froze.

Great, trapped between enemies on both sides.

How could he possibly escape now!

Soon, the three from the rear caught up and saw Di Fifteen standing in place, all revealing knowing smiles.

"Is the Black Fiend Sect truly intent on exterminating me?" Di Fifteen said with false bravado, even though he was the Son of the Heavenly Emperor, he did not stand to gain much against the Black Fiend Sect, instead merely inciting their rage.

"You should seek revenge against him, not me." Di Fifteen said angrily seeing the opposition unresponsive, referring to his father, the Heavenly Emperor.

"You can’t defeat my father, so you come to deal with me. Is the Black Fiend Sect only capable of this?"

Di Fifteen rattled off a series of words, yet the members of the Black Fiend Sect surrounding him remained cold-eyed, gazing at him.

"You’re forcing me!"

Since they were determined to kill him, no amount of words from him would make a difference, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

Kill!

All seven Black Fiend Sect masters launched their attack at this moment, and Di Fifteen suddenly roared to the sky, "All of you, die!"

As he spoke, he self-detonated!

His entire being transformed into a cloud of blood with a thunderous explosion, some of the seven Black Fiend members failed to dodge in time and perished in Di Fifteen’s self-detonation. Only five survived.

The five, seeing Di Fifteen die completely, glanced around the battlefield briefly and hurried away.

Di Fifteen was, after all, the son of the Heavenly Emperor, even if not the most favored, still the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Emperor, who would undoubtedly sense it, so the five dared not linger, for the Heavenly Emperor might swoop in instantly.

Now it was Ye Qiu who was dumbfounded, exclaiming a curse, "Damn it!"

A perfectly good plan was now thoroughly ruined.

Initially, Ye Qiu had intended to kill Di Fifteen himself, leave his body intact, and make it his avatar, but now Di Fifteen was left with not even a bone, leaving Ye Qiu at a loss.

Ye Qiu didn’t even deploy the Supreme Emperor Bell, leaving fuming.

Shortly after Ye Qiu departed, a figure tore through the void, appearing here. He wore a Purple Gold Crown, donned in splendid attire, resembling a true dragon emperor, ruler of the world, with bushy eyebrows and big eyes, commanding authority without anger.

This was a middle-aged man, looking not very old, but if other Cosmic-level beings were present, they would certainly recognize this person.

The Heavenly Emperor!

After Di Fifteen’s self-detonation, the Heavenly Emperor sensed it, spanning from the Eastern Wilderness to the Southern Wilderness, arriving in an instant.

With a wave of his hand, the scene that unfolded here before appeared in the air, the Heavenly Emperor seeing Di Fifteen being pursued to this point, ultimately self-exploding, leaving everything in vain.

"Black Fiend Sect... are you trying to enrage me completely?"

The Heavenly Emperor’s eyes gleamed with gold, and if looked closely, one would notice his eyes vaguely manifesting double pupils.

"Young Fifteen, I will ensure those who forced you to death will soon accompany you."

The Heavenly Emperor opened his hand directly, reaching into the void. Shortly, thin lines appeared in the air, through these lines, the Heavenly Emperor saw several men in black robes.

These were lines of causation. Even though those who killed Di Fifteen from the Black Fiend Sect had all gone, disappeared, or even hid away immediately for fear of the Heavenly Emperor’s revenge.

But in the face of the Heavenly Emperor at this level, he still found their location because causal lines invisibly connected them.

Swish.

The Heavenly Emperor vanished from the spot, he would solve them one by one. After killing these ants to avenge Di Fifteen, he would proceed into the cosmos to war against the Black Fiend Sect in a shattering battle.

The five Black Fiend Sect men did not stay together; after killing Di Fifteen, they closed off their own aura, hiding away, transforming into ordinary people, playing the role of small figures.

This approach was to prevent the Heavenly Emperor from coming after them.

This was the method taught by their sect master for hiding, to prevent the Heavenly Emperor from finding them, but unfortunately, even the master of the Black Fiend Sect could not anticipate that after days of absence, the Heavenly Emperor’s power reached a new level, attaining the causal plane, able to locate any who hid through causal lines.

The Heavenly Emperor arrived directly at a small village in the Southern Wilderness, standing before an elder feeding cattle, without another word, breaking his limbs, then grabbing his soul, burning it with fire.

Before the Heavenly Emperor, even an elder-level person of the Black Fiend Sect could not resist, enduring the torment of soul-burning.

Subsequently, the Heavenly Emperor visited each location, in total five places, not a single one of the surviving Black Fiend Sect masters escaped, all met the same fate, their souls drawn and burned, a fate worse than death.

The capture of the Black Fiend Sect’s five masters attracted cosmic-level beings.

A world-shaking fight erupted in the Southern Wilderness.

The impact of this confrontation spread from the Southern Wilderness to the Eastern Wilderness, a battle echoing across the world.

Upon hearing various explosive news, Ye Qiu could not keep his mind calm, the terror of the Heavenly Emperor, beyond imagination, he had witnessed the five Black Fiend Sect members leave previously, yet they were still caught by the Heavenly Emperor and punished terribly.

This served as a reminder to Ye Qiu, when confronting cosmic-level powers like the Heavenly Emperor, even if he was at the Saint Realm, he could not confront them head-on.

It is said that from this battle, a piece of land in the Southern Wilderness was directly struck into an abyss, an unfathomable abyss, frightening to the core.

Ye Qiu, therefore, specially followed numerous ancient beasts to take a look, the abyss was indeed overwhelmingly awe-inspiring.

Created by the cosmic-level powers, it became a renowned spot for this.

As for the outcome of their confrontation, no one knew.

These days, Ye Qiu constantly mingled in the City of Beasts, nearly considering himself an ancient beast, though he failed to find the Beast God, while talk about the Heavenly Emperor and Black Fiend Sect cosmic-level battle lingered without interruption.

What surprised Ye Qiu was that the five people and the descendant of the Duguzhi clan he saved previously had instead stayed at the inn in recent days, along with a middle-aged man of terrifying strength.

Ye Qiu frowned, feeling as if they were searching for him.

Especially the five Guardian’s descendants who visited the room Ye Qiu stayed in before. Fortunately, Ye Qiu had vacated the room ahead of time, causing them to look for the wrong person.

Ye Qiu wished to avoid entangling too much with these people, even if one was from the Duguzhi clan, Ye Qiu preferred not to engage with them.

Right now, what he should be most focused on is advancing to the Saint Realm.

Despite the dangers, he could not remain stuck here forever.

The strength of the Heavenly Emperor, invisibly incited Ye Qiu’s competitive spirit, especially witnessing the Duguzhi clan being kept by such powerful beings, if he did not become stronger, how would he confront such entities.

Listening daily to various news about the Heavenly Emperor, Ye Qiu’s urge to break through grew increasingly intense.
