Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14464 Black Emperor Sect

Ten thousand years ago, the Black Emperor Sect had a terrifying being with the title of Black Emperor who emerged out of nowhere, reaching the highest realm and making the sect stand at the pinnacle of the Nirvana Realm.

Even though its current influence is slightly less than before, its profound heritage should not be underestimated.

Inside the Black Emperor Sect Hall, four figures stood silently.

Seated at the head of the table was a man in black robes with a handsome face and long hair that reached his shoulders. A wisp of demonic light flowed ceaselessly from his fingertips. This man was none other than Hei Feng, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, ranked seventh on the Star River Ranking of the Silent Realm. Even the former Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord was only ranked close to the hundredth.

Standing to the left was an elderly man in black robes, his hands tucked into his sleeves, wearing a black cloak, his entire being resembling a large black bird. Beside him stood a young man in black robes, about twenty years old, holding a jet-black dagger, exuding extraordinary bearing. This young man was none other than Xiao Hanyu, a terrifying genius ranked among the top ten in the Silent Realm!

"I underestimated Ling Xiao." Black Wind's fingertips flickered with black mist. "He dared to declare war on my Black Emperor Sect first."

He turned his gaze to Xiao Hanyu: "What are your thoughts?"

Xiao Hanyu pondered for a moment: "This person's decisiveness can only be due to two reasons. First, the person behind him is unfathomably powerful and could strike at any time; second, he is playing a game with us."

Seeing Hei Feng nod, he continued, "The woman in the moon-colored dress is undoubtedly strong, but she may not be able to act at any time. That's why Ling Xiao is acting so aggressively. The more arrogant and unpredictable he is, the less likely other forces will dare to act rashly."

"Just like in the secular world, truly wealthy people often keep a low profile, while those with modest savings are the most fond of showing off. Ling Xiao's actions may well be a bluff."

Black Wind's eyes flickered slightly: "How can you be so sure that the person behind him can't act at any time?"

"That woman appeared twice, both times as an avatar. And both times, it was only after Tianyuan Saint provoked her that she attacked," Xiao Hanyu's voice trailed off. "Based on my speculation, Ling Xiao might not even be able to actively contact that woman in the moon-colored dress."

Black Wind remained silent.

Xiao Hanyu suddenly spoke again: "Sect Master, this disciple has something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."

"Please speak freely."

"My Black Emperor Sect really has no need to make an enemy of her. That woman in the moon-colored dress is at least a Star River Realm expert. If she truly retaliates, the sect will suffer heavy losses. Even if we obtain the treasure, we will become the target of everyone's hatred."

Black Wind chuckled: "How could I not know all this? Even if I seize the treasure, I can't guarantee that others won't covet it in the end. However..."

Before he could finish speaking, he waved his hand and said, "You may all leave now."

After the two left, a figure suddenly appeared in the hall.

She was a woman in a black dress, the hem of which was embroidered with a crouching spider, fierce and menacing, as if it were about to devour someone. Her beauty was unparalleled, her figure graceful and all-encompassing, as if all the beauty and charm in the world were concentrated in her.

Black Wind stared at the woman who had suddenly appeared. She flicked her finger, and a white jade bottle slowly flew to him.

His divine sense swept over the bottle, a burning glint flashing in Hei Feng's eyes, before his expression changed slightly: "Yun Susha, why is there only one pill? Isn't it said that this kind of pill comes in a male and female pair, and must be taken together to be effective?"

The woman smiled sweetly: "Once the matter is settled, I will offer you another one."

"What is the background of that woman in the moon-colored dress?"

"This has nothing to do with the Black Wind Sect Master," the woman said with a smile.

Black Wind remained silent for a long time before pushing the jade bottle back: "In that case, the Black Emperor Sect withdraws from this matter."

The woman's eyes flickered: "Sect Master Black Wind should be well aware of the rarity and value of this pill. There are currently fewer than thirty in the entire Silent Extinction Realm, and most of them already have owners. Without this pill, even with Sect Master Black Wind's extraordinary talent, he would find it difficult to reach the peak of the Star River Realm in his lifetime."

Black Wind's expression shifted unpredictably.

"Sect Master Black Wind should understand that although we are all at the Star River Realm, the difference between each level within the Star River Realm is vast. That's why the Star River Ranking exists. The difference between each level in this realm is even greater than the difference between each major realm before. You must cherish this opportunity." The woman's voice was gentle, yet every word struck Black Wind's heart. "Once you reach the peak of the Star River Realm, creating as many Black Emperor Sects as you want will not be difficult. As for those behind Ling Xiao, we will handle them."

Black Wind took a deep breath: "The fate of the Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord is still fresh in my mind."

The woman shook her head: "That was his unauthorized action; he has no one to blame but himself. If he had followed the plan, even ten Lingxiao cultivators couldn't have done anything to him."

She gazed at Black Wind: "This may be Black Wind Sect Master's only chance in this lifetime. Of course, if you insist on refusing, we will not force you."

"Why don't you take action yourselves?"

"Our target was never Ling Xiao."

Black Wind suddenly realized: "What you're afraid of is her!"

The woman smiled but said nothing.

"Is she truly already a being beyond the Star River Realm?"

"At least at the peak of the Star River Realm," the woman said calmly. "If she were truly above the Star River Realm, she could annihilate the Silent Extinction Realm in an instant. Since she didn't do that, it means she had her reservations. Since she's not above the Star River Realm, why should we be so afraid?"

Black Wind suddenly asked, "What secrets does that supreme treasure hold?"

"This item can be used to leave the Realm of Annihilation."

Black Wind sighed softly, "So that's how it is. I knew it. Even if the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword was incredibly powerful, it wouldn't be that bad."

If it weren't for such temptation, who would be willing to provoke such a powerful figure? For those of them who know the truth about the Realm of Annihilation, who wouldn't want to leave this hellish place? Staying here is nothing but waiting to die, and they will never be able to surpass the Star River Realm in their lifetime!

"What has the Black Wind Sect Master decided?"

"I want a pair of Yin-Yang Pills."

The woman smiled and said, "As you wish."

Another white jade bottle floated to Black Wind's side. He put the bottle away and solemnly issued the order: "From this day forward, declare war on Tianyuan! Declare war on the Overlord Empire!"

The woman left satisfied.

The Black Emperor Sect declares war on Tianyuan!

Declare war on the Overlord Empire!

The news sent shockwaves through the Silent Realm.

Ling Xiao has just taken over Tianyuan, while the Black Emperor Sect is an established power. Their open declaration of war signifies that the peace of the Silent Realm is about to be shattered.

Secretly, many forces were secretly delighted. Ever since the fall of the Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord, countless eyes had been fixed on this prize. Now that someone had made the first move, it was a perfect opportunity to test Ling Xiao's true strength.

Tianyuan, Linyuan City.

On this day, an old man dressed in black robes suddenly appeared outside the city gate.

He raised his hand and waved it, and the black energy transformed into a terrifying black dog that crashed into the city gate in an instant.

boom!

The primordial energy surged like a flood bursting its banks, shattering the city gates. The raging energy, undiminished in its force, swept towards Lingxiao's location within the city.

Inside the hall, Ling Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, and his figure vanished in an instant.

Outside the hall, the black dog formed from the immense primordial energy was already upon them. Ling Xiao's face was ashen, and when the black dog was still ten feet away from him, he drew his sword fiercely.

laugh--!

The black dog was instantly torn apart.

Almost simultaneously, a massive, dark hand, carrying the force to destroy everything, crashed down upon them. Wherever the palm's power touched, the surrounding space cracked inch by inch.

Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed, and the shattered space instantly restored, his five elements of primal energy surging and converging around him. Instead of retreating, he advanced, slashing upwards with his bloodthirsty blade!

Hard fight!

With his physical body fused with the Five Dragon Techniques, why should he fear a direct confrontation?

The instant the palm wind and the blade's edge clashed—

Boom!

A thunderous explosion reverberated through the surrounding area, and both men were sent flying backward simultaneously. (End of Chapter)
