Chapter 6226 - Chapter: Caught Between Two Worlds

"Boom..." The immense coffin sealed the heavens and locked the earth, instantly enveloping the patriarch of the Seven-Colored Deer Clan. The eerie and ghostly power of the laws locked him in place. "Break for me!" The patriarch of the Seven-Colored Deer Clan roared in anger, his body radiating in seven colors, essence energy bursting forth. The Emperor Flame danced, making him resemble a blazing sun, his power both violent and vast. The massive coffin trembled constantly, akin to the mouth of a beast voraciously sucking in power, while the elder of the Seven-Colored Deer Clan resisted madly. However, to his shock, he had thought that by unleashing his full power, his essence energy would shatter the insignificant coffin. Yet, he was horrified to discover that the coffin, which appeared decayed, emitted a devouring force that was extraordinarily terrifying, and he couldn't escape. At that moment, panic set in. He rapidly formed seals with his hands, causing seven imperial bodies to shatter instantly. The Emperor Flame that erupted was several times more ferocious than before. Seeing this scene, the Lord of White Emperor City turned pale. To think it drove him to such a state—what power did this coffin contain? He was utterly shocked, also realizing that this coffin seemed different from the previous one. "Boom..." The patriarch of the Seven-Colored Deer Clan fought against the coffin with all his might. The clash of their terrifying powers caused the heavens and earth to resonate, ripples spreading with a formidable pressure. Even from a distance, one could feel the world-destroying aura. Yet, Mo Nian appeared calm and composed, watching the patriarch of the Seven-Colored Deer Clan struggle, as if everything was within his control. The patriarch, in his frenzy, realized with horror that his power was being absorbed by the coffin. With his strength diminishing, panic overtook him. "Help me!" The elder of the Seven-Colored Deer Clan began to plead for assistance from the Lord of White Emperor City. The Lord of White Emperor City’s expression changed instantly. Countless experts within the city were watching him, and outside, who knew how many were secretly observing. If he assisted the elder of the Seven-Colored Deer Clan, it would confirm Mo Nian's previous suspicions, leaving no room for denial. If he didn't, and the patriarch was suppressed by Mo Nian, White Emperor City would not only face the wrath of the Nine-Colored Deer Clan and the entire demon race but also offend the one he least wished to provoke. "Mo Nian, you're merely taking advantage of strange methods. If you truly have the capability, show your real skills and battle a late-stage Emperor powerhouse. That would be true ability," suddenly mocked a human genius from within White Emperor City. Hearing this, Mo Nian glanced sideways at the human expert, whose hair stood on end and scalp tingled under Mo Nian's gaze. However, hiding within the city with the protection of a great formation, he had some confidence. He looked at the Lord of White Emperor City ahead, his courage bolstered, "What? Did I say something wrong? Since you're standing up for the human race, you should use open and upright means..." "Boom" Suddenly, a chain shot out, piercing through the formation barrier, appearing before the man instantly. "Pff" The chain pierced through the man's chest, pulling him out of the formation. He screamed in terror, clearly not expecting Mo Nian to act against him in front of the Lord of White Emperor City. "Mo Nian, you've gone too far. Do you really think White Emperor City is without people? Today, I must capture you and suppress you within the White Emperor Statue for three years to temper your temperament, lest you become a demon of the human race." The Lord of White Emperor City shouted angrily, stepping forward, Emperor Flame surging around him as he instantly appeared before Mo Nian, striking down with a palm. "Lord, save me!" Seeing the Lord of White Emperor City take action, the disciple pierced by the chain cried out. "Don't worry, he won't save you. If you don't die, he has no reason to take action, so rest easy," Mo Nian said calmly. "Pff" The chain trembled, causing the disciple's body to explode. The chain drew a bizarre arc in the void, lashing fiercely at the Lord of White Emperor City. "So young, yet so cruel, killing indiscriminately. Even if I'm misunderstood by the world, I must suppress you," the Lord of White Emperor City shouted with rage, though inwardly pleased. Mo Nian was still too young. By killing the disciple of White Emperor City, the Lord now had a legitimate reason to act, and no one could blame him. "Boom" A loud explosion sounded as the Lord of White Emperor City struck the chain, causing it to shatter into countless runes. "These are formation runes? No wonder it could pierce the barrier," someone exclaimed, surprised that the strange chain was condensed from formation runes. Condensing formations into physical objects, this strange technique and terrifying control were truly astonishing. The chain shattered, but Mo Nian remained unperturbed, sneering, "I really despise people like you who try to play both sides. Just take action if you're going to, why find excuses? Finding excuses is fine, but why bring up killing innocents? How many humans have the demon race killed in the arena, and why don't you accuse them of killing innocents? I suppressed a group of demons, and you act like your father died, sending that disciple to provoke me, deliberately angering me to give you a reason to act. My attack wasn't fast; you clearly had a chance to stop it but chose not to. Do you think others are fools who can't see through you? I knew it was a trap but stepped in anyway to remind the people of White Emperor City to open their eyes, to see through the facade of White Emperor City. The upper echelons of White Emperor City have become someone else's dogs. Someday, when their master needs it, you'll be abandoned without mercy. Don't end up being sold and still help count the money." Mo Nian's voice wasn't loud, yet it reached every corner of White Emperor City, even the great formation couldn't block it. At that moment, the entire White Emperor City became agitated. "Sowing discord with wicked words, die!" The Lord of White Emperor City was both shocked and furious, Emperor energy spreading around him as he stepped forward, moving with extreme speed. "Just you?" Mo Nian sneered, slowly opening his large hand. Behind him, an ornate palace slowly emerged within the anomaly. When the palace appeared, the pine tree in front of it seemed instantly vibrant, the two resonating, ancient and desolate aura spreading as if transporting one to ancient times. "Before the Infinite Mountain stands the Infinite Palace, outside the Infinite Gate lies the Infinite Pine, heroes pursuing dreams find no path, encountering Mo Nian, all becomes void." At that moment, Mo Nian chanted solemnly, each word resonating like primeval truth, echoing through the world, harmonizing with myriad paths. "Didn't you all want to witness my true strength? Today, your wish is granted." "Boom" Mo Nian struck with a palm, a massive hand appearing in the void, the golden palace and the green pine in its palm shining brilliantly, power shaking the heavens. "Die, Seven-Turn Hantian Palm." The Lord of White Emperor City roared, seven imperial bodies merging into one, a great hand entwined with endless divine runes, all power converging into a single palm, leaving nothing reserved."
