Chapter 2388: Curse Seal's Command

Boom! Rumble!

The Di Jie boomed, carrying the power of destruction.

This time, the one who triggered the Di Jie was the Kui Ba clan's elder Zhun Di, who had already ascended to the ninth heaven. His expression was solemn, filled with an invincible will to battle, having lain dormant for eons, waiting for this very day.

Below, the Kui Ba clan members were all tense, gazing up at the ninth heaven with hope in their eyes.

In the past year, this was already the third person in their clan to trigger the Di Jie, with the first two having perished. This third one carried the hope of their entire clan—if he could defy the heavens and become emperor, he would surely reverse their defeat and, with an emperor presiding, reclaim the various heavens.

However, before the Di Jie lightning could descend, a figure appeared, stepping through the virtual sky.

Di Huang?

It wasn't just the Kui Ba elder Zhun Di—the entire Kui Ba clan widened their eyes, their gazes filled with fear and unwillingness. In their view, Di Huang was here to disrupt things, not wanting the Kui Ba clan to pass the Di Jie. With a fully accomplished sacred body causing chaos, even a chance at emperorship would turn to despair.

Wait, no. The Kui Ba elder Zhun Di narrowed his aged eyes and realized Di Huang was in an unconscious state, more precisely, sleepwalking.

As he observed, Ye Chen and his group arrived, emerging one after another from the domain gate.

Then, the crowd collectively used escape techniques to flee the Di Jie range, as the tribulation was about to descend. With Di Huang still there, the tribulation's scale was unprecedentedly vast, with billions of lightning bolts tearing through the void in various colors, dyeing it splendid. Each bolt fused with destructive power.

It must be noted that Di Huang was passively responding to the tribulation, which was the great accomplishment sacred body tribulation.

Fight!

The Kui Ba elder Zhun Di had no time for distractions and unleashed his full combat power, rushing into the sky.

He was indeed incredibly strong and impressive, managing to withstand a wave of the Di Jie.

For this, he paid a tragic price—his physical body was nearly obliterated, making it difficult to reshape amid the Di Jie lightning.

As for Di Huang's lightning tribulation, it descended as well; in an instant, his sacred body shattered, and the brilliant golden blood, while falling, was turned to ashes by the Di Jie lightning.

Saint Monarch.Zi Xuan called out, wanting to go over.

Are you seeking death?Ye Chen stepped forward first and pulled her back. That is not an ordinary heavenly tribulation—it is the emperor's divine punishment. Even if the female emperor's remnant soul rashly entered, it would scatter.

What a strong Di Jie. The Zhun Di all had grave expressions, witnessing Di Huang's sacred body shatter repeatedly. That was Di Huang! The great accomplishment sacred body that once fought five emperors alone—his sacred body was known as indestructible and invulnerable to all laws, yet even he couldn't withstand the Di Jie.

Of course, it was also because Di Huang was in an unconscious state and didn't know to resist or defend. If he were awake, not to mention the Di Jie, even if a great emperor arrived personally, they couldn't harm him.

Zi Se's face was pale as she transmitted a message to Ye Chen, wanting to tell him the secret to wake Di Huang.

However, as soon as she spoke, it was no longer necessary, because the Kui Ba Zhun Di undergoing the tribulation had perished. As the one passing the tribulation, with his death, the Di Jie naturally dissipated.

In that instant, more than ninety percent of the Kui Ba clan members collapsed to the ground.

Hope was shattered once again—their clan's predecessor had also failed to defy the heavens and perished in the Di Jie.

Meanwhile, Jian Shen and the others had already stepped into that void and caught the falling Di Huang.

After passively undergoing the tribulation, Di Huang's sacred body was almost crippled by the lightning.

However, this was not a major issue—the sacred body's recovery power was still incredibly dominant. The so-called emperor's path killing intent couldn't harm his foundation and had been forcefully extinguished by the sacred body's origin.

At that point, Di Huang no longer sleepwalked and quietly lay in Zi Xuan's arms, not even muttering in his sleep.

Strangely, on his forehead, there was an additional ancient divine pattern, perhaps because the Di Jie was too powerful, forcing it out—and it had been shattered as well.

None of the Zhun Di spoke, all staring intently at that divine pattern.

Who used the Zhou Yin on him?Sheng Zun frowned, as if knowing what the divine pattern represented.

No wonder, no wonder he sleepwalked for no reason—it must be driven by this Zhou Yin.Shen Jiang snorted coldly, having seen through the clues. Di Huang was in an unconscious state, so how would he know about the Zhou Yin's existence?

If not for this Di Jie, we would still be in the dark.Zhan Wang snorted coldly.

It's to lure the tiger away from the mountain—senior, quickly open the domain gate.Ye Chen said immediately.

No need for him to say it; the child of the plane had already waved his hand, opening the domain gate channel.

Dong Huang Tai Xin was the first to step in, and all the Zhun Di followed, their faces extremely ugly. Among them were Jian Shen, Shen Nv, Huang Zhe, Shen Jiang, and others, yet they had been toyed with by a Zhou Yin. Laughably, they only realized it today.

So, the question was, who had used the Zhou Yin on Di Huang? Even they hadn't noticed it at all. Their purpose must be Da Chu, probably Yao Xi, or the female sacred body and Hong Chen—it could also be the little king.

No one knew when, but the domain gate opened again, now in Da Chu.

Upon entering, the Zhun Di saw the scarred mountains and rivers, as if they had endured a world-shocking battle. The once-beautiful landscape had all been affected, with significant casualties.

Damn it.The Zhun Di were furious; seeing this scene, they truly confirmed they had been tricked.

Shen Nv.The Zhun Di of Tian Xuan Men gathered, each with injuries on their bodies.

Who attacked Da Chu?Dong Huang Tai Xin snorted coldly.

We don't know—we only know it was a white-clothed woman, extremely powerful.

White-clothed woman?Ye Chen frowned, suddenly recalling the white-clothed woman he had seen outside Da Chu that day. He had a feeling that the white-clothed woman the old Zhun Di mentioned was that person.

Why didn't you sound the war drums?Zhan Wang shouted.

The various heavens' war drums were stolen.The old Zhun Di lowered his head, quite self-reproachful.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Zhun Di's brows all furrowed—this was clearly planned! First, lure away Di Huang and Da Chu's strong ones, then steal the various heavens' war drums to cut off the signal for aid.

The crowd didn't ask more and headed straight for Tian Xuan Men. Since the other side had attacked Tian Xuan Men, their target was either Yao Xi or Hong Chen.

Fortunately, both of them were still there.

This was all thanks to Yu Hua Xian Wang.

Speaking of Yu Hua Xian Wang, he was injured terribly, almost destroyed, and finally repelled the white-clothed woman. That day, if not for him, the consequences would have been unimaginable—it would have been a great massacre, with no one able to stop the white-clothed woman.

He was seriously injured, and the white-clothed woman wasn't much better; heavily wounded, she fled.

Investigate—investigate for me.Looking at the chaotic Tian Xuan Men, Dong Huang Tai Xin's icy words resounded throughout Da Chu. So many strong ones had been collectively tricked, and there were quite a few casualties—it was truly infuriating.

As for Ye Chen, he performed the Zhou Tian evolution, trying to restore the scene from that day.

Alas, his cultivation was limited, and he couldn't find the true person—he only vaguely saw a blurry figure, white-clothed and ethereal, like a dream or illusion.

It's really her.Ye Chen frowned and wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth.

Who?The Zhun Di gathered and looked at him in unison.

Ye Chen didn't speak; he transmitted his divine sense, informing them in detail of what he had seen and heard that day.

The Zhun Di read it and glanced at each other; in their memories, there was no impression of the white-clothed woman at all. The various heavens actually hid such a world-shaking strong one, and they didn't know.

This wasn't the most important thing—the important thing was, where did the white-clothed woman get the guts to scheme against Di Huang, and why did she want to capture Yao Xi? Even Yu Hua Xian Wang was fought to near destruction.

Dissolve the contract between you and the Saint Monarch.In the silence, Zi Xuan lightly said.

This was said to Ye Chen.

The various heavens suddenly revealed this strange white-clothed woman, whose combat power was not inferior to Yu Hua Xian Wang—Di Huang needed to wake up. If Di Huang performed the divination, he could definitely find out the other's identity.

Ye Chen's eyes flashed with profound light; with his wisdom, how could he not understand the meaning of Zi Xuan's words? The reason Di Huang was sleeping must be related to that contract.

To make Di Huang wake up, dissolving that contract would do.

Regrettably, he still didn't know what kind of contract it was.

Without thinking much, he immediately used the power of reincarnation to dissolve the contract between him and Di Huang.

He saw Di Huang's sacred body tremble, and then, there was no movement—he was still sleeping, with no sign of waking up.

This...Ye Chen was stunned and glanced at Zi Xuan.
