Chapter 2883: Three Emperors from One Clan

Chapter 2883: One Family, Three Emperors

Within the space-time turbulence, Ye Chen remained as dedicated as ever, carrying the space-time net and casting it out repeatedly. Every Zhundi swept in was perfectly intercepted and pulled out by him.

This process was indeed time-consuming.

As time passed, Ye Chen, the Sacred Body, grew more determined and expanded the already vast space-time net even further, weaving it larger to catch hundreds at a time for efficiency.

"You little bastard, take it easy."

Inside the space-time net, Di Lao grumbled incessantly. The net was packed with over a hundred people, and he was squashed at the bottom, his face flushed red. Meanwhile, Tian Lao on top was in high spirits, exerting extra force and leaving the Zhundi below struggling to breathe.

Ye Chen ignored him and casually tossed them out.

When he cast the net again, he found Long Ye inside, in poor condition.

It seemed he had suffered backlash from comprehending laws.

"Comprehending space-time is like gambling with your life."

Long Ye spoke earnestly. In these years in the turbulence, he had exploded countless times, after all. He wasn't the complete Taixu Long Di—his memories and talents were both incomplete—so what Long Di could comprehend, he could not. Even worse off was Long Wu, whose body had already been half destroyed by explosions.

"Have you seen my family's Lao Jiu?"

Ye Chen asked.

"I haven't seen her in a long time."

"Or maybe she's already gotten out."

"I'm really curious, how does your wife rank them? By height?"

"Don't mess around, it must be by weight."

"Nonsense, it has to be by chest size."

The group of old folks chattered on endlessly. Even crammed in the space-time net, they remained unruly and improper, having long forgotten any sense of shame.

Ye Chen paid them no mind and tore open a rift in the turbulence. He didn't throw them out all at once—he grabbed one and kicked another out. What did it matter how his wife ranked them? It was none of their business, just a bunch of kick-worthy old codgers.

After sending them off, Ye Chen cast the net again.

More old Zhundi were sent back to Zhutian.

"Have you seen my family's Lao Jiu?"

He asked this every time he hauled in a batch. With so many Zhundi in the turbulence, someone had to have seen her. She was a living person—how could she just vanish?

Awkwardly, no one had seen Yao Chi recently.

Ye Chen furrowed his brow and summoned his divine sense.

However, as soon as his divine sense emerged, it was erased by the turbulence.

The power here was too strange; divine sense was useless. He tried several times, but it kept vanishing inexplicably until he infused space-time essence into it, allowing it to extend.

Unfortunately, the range he could probe was extremely limited. The space-time turbulence was too vast, and even with his understanding of space-time, he couldn't see it all, let alone find his Lao Jiu.

Has she really gotten out?

Ye Chen murmured to himself, offering that guess.

The guess was plausible but wrong. She hadn't gotten out at all; she just wasn't in the turbulence anymore. She was in her own dream, and this time, it wasn't just her mind entering—it was her entire being.

Ye Chen had no idea about any of this and kept calling out. Fortunately, Ji Ningshuang's primordial spirit jade pendant was still intact, though it had been swept away by the space-time turbulence to who knows where.

Boom! Rumble!

The starry skies of Zhutian continued to shake back and forth. Someone was undergoing an emperor tribulation on the Ancient Road, but only Tian Ming and the two emperors knew. The rumbles that the world heard seemed to come from nowhere, yet they made everyone's hearts tremble with unease.

Ming Di had already withdrawn his gaze and was looking toward Miaomiao Domain.

From the demonic pillar, countless heavenly demons had poured out, like a sky-covering cloud shrouding the heavens, or a black carpet spreading across the earth. Amid the rolling demonic aura, one could see those twisted, ferocious faces, all savage and violent.

Yet, no emperor had emerged from the pillar so far.

The heavenly demon soldiers and generals were disciplined, waiting eagerly for the emperor's arrival. A few demon lords and generals even glanced back at the pillar from time to time. Had their Great Emperor gotten lost? It had been a whole day!

Something was wrong with the demonic pillar's passage.

Ming Di's eyes flickered as he glanced at the pillar, which was buzzing and trembling unstably, swaying side to side as if on the verge of collapse.

This was interesting.

He hoped that guy would die inside.

Wishes are beautiful, but reality is harsh. Accompanied by a buzz from the pillar, three towering figures stepped out simultaneously, their steps perfectly synchronized, shaking the very fabric of the universe.

They were three heavenly demon emperors, all with purple hair flowing. One had a crescent moon demonic mark on his forehead, another a blazing sun demonic mark, and the third a star demonic mark.

They were Yin Mo Di, Yang Mo Di, and Xing Mo Di.

The three were triplets, identical in appearance, and even their emperor dao laws, auras, and origins were strikingly the same.

Ming Di raised an eyebrow, and Dao Zu narrowed his eyes.

Triplets, all emperors—one family, three supreme beings.

"We greet the Great Emperor."

The heavenly demon soldiers and generals shouted in unison, dropping to one knee.

The three emperors didn't respond, blood trickling from their mouths, their forms disheveled and bodies stained with blood. It looked like they had indeed faced issues in the passage, enduring destructive forces along the way. The demons watching were baffled, sensing that the three emperors had fought someone in the passage and been badly beaten.

"Ants, tremble!"

The three demon emperors sneered. Though their ranks weren't high and their conditions were poor, their confidence soared. They twisted their necks leisurely, their eyes full of contempt, each gaze sinister and brutal.

Buzz!

Yin Mo Di raised his hand and dispelled the array sealing the Immortal Heaven.

Yang Mo Di cast a spell, unleashing emperor dao immortal light that formed a pitch-black demonic path, piercing through the domain barriers from Miaomiao Domain straight to Zhutian.

As for Xing Mo Di, he guarded the towering demonic pillar.

"For me, kill them all, leave none."

The corners of Yin and Yang Mo Di's mouths curled up.

With the order given, the vast army of heavenly demons surged forward, their demonic aura rolling as soldiers and generals charged through the passage into Zhutian, like ghosts from hell, their ferocious faces terrifying.

Hm?

Zaohua Shenwang, wandering in the starry skies, suddenly turned his head and paled at the sight. The black demonic aura had already invaded the stars, carrying hordes of heavenly demons.

"Heavenly demons are invading."

The Chu Jiang Wang at his side transmitted the warning across all directions.

Boom! Bang!

As soon as he finished, the two of them were flung back. Yin and Yang Mo Di had charged into Zhutian’s starry skies, collapsing a swath of star domains and sending Chu Jiang Wang and Zaohua Shenwang flying, along with the Zhutian cultivators in that area, who were shattered en masse.

"Kill."

The heavenly demons followed, surging like a breached flood into Zhutian. Domain gates descended in many star domains, and from each one, countless demons poured out, spreading to various starry skies, domains, and ancient stars, carrying out the emperor's command: slaughter.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The war drums of Zhutian sounded, echoing through the stars.

Fight!

Zhutian’s cultivators roared, gathering from their starry skies into formations to face the invading demons, their battle intent burning like flames.

"I missed the last war."

"This one, I won't miss."

The peak quasi-emperors sneered, donning armor and converging on the star skies where the two demon emperors were. As long as it wasn't a peak emperor, anyone who came to Zhutian wouldn't leave.

"Miaomiao Domain, the towering demonic pillar is in Miaomiao Domain."

"Destroy the pillar quickly."

"Xi Chen, patrol all domains."

Ren Wang, stationed at Tianxuan Gate as the commander, issued orders one after another. Who could guarantee that only one clan of heavenly demons had come? There might be a second pillar hidden in other domains. Such things had happened before; back then, if Di Huang hadn't been there, the peak emperor known as Judgment would have likely razed Zhutian.

"Ye Chen."

Fu Ya roared, calling for Ye Chen.

Forget about reinforcements for now—first, destroy the pillar.

But his words didn't reach Ye Chen, who could only be summoned by the will of all living beings, given the invisible barrier of the space-time turbulence.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Amid the rumbles, the great battle erupted.

One side invaded, the other defended, fighting fiercely with blood staining the stars.

Pfft! Pfft!

In the southern starry skies, Chu Jiang Wang and Zaohua Shenwang were beaten back repeatedly by Yin Mo Di, unsteady on their feet. Zaohua Shenwang was covered in bloody wounds, his body a mess of scars, while Chu Jiang Wang was even worse, his divine form nearly exploding, bones and sinew exposed in a gruesome sight.

"Where are the people? Hurry and assist!"

Chu Jiang Wang roared, and Zaohua Shenwang joined in. They could hold their own against a Great Emperor, but they needed numbers. Two against one emperor was far from enough.

"Interesting."

Yin Mo Di advanced across the universe, laughing mockingly.

These two little Zhundi were more tenacious than expected.

Zaohua Shenwang and Chu Jiang Wang said nothing, thinking to themselves: Keep laughing. Once our people arrive, if you can still laugh, we'll take your surname. We've slain mid-tier Great Emperors before—who are you two initial-tier ones to jump around like this?

"Boring."

Yin Mo Di's lips curled, and he unleashed his emperor dao attacks without holding back, each divine ability a devastating killing technique that could destroy heavens and earth.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Chu Jiang Wang and Zaohua Shenwang retreated steadily. Someone as foundationally weak as Chu Jiang Wang nearly got obliterated several times, his blood and bones scattering across the stars.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

On the other side, Yang Mo Di was on a rampage, extremely brutal, slaughtering everything in his path. Wherever he went, star domains shook and starry skies collapsed, ancient stars exploding one after another, and swaths of Zhutian cultivators turning to ash.

"Ants, all of you are ants."

Yang Mo Di laughed wildly, his voice like thunder filled with demonic power, extinguishing countless Zhutian people and disrupting the minds of many old Zhundi with his aura.

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!

Sword cries suddenly rang out, piercing the soul.

Zhutian's four peak sword cultivators arrived first, each swinging their sword and catching Yang Mo Di off guard.

In another starry sky, Chu Jiang Wang and Zaohua Shenwang finally got their reinforcements: Sheng Zun, Di Ji, the Fifth Divine General, Yan Huang, and Yu Hua Xian Wang. The seven joined forces and held back Yin Mo Di.

"Ants dare to attack an emperor?"

Yin and Yang Mo Di snorted coldly. Though they were both weakened, they were no ordinary Great Emperors. Their emperor dao might shook the starry skies like two supreme war gods.

The quasi-emperors showed no fear and attacked together.

More of the strongest were on their way.

"Have you seen my family's Lao Jiu?"

In the turbulence, Ye Chen hauled in another batch and asked the same question, but the Zhundi in the net all shook their heads.

Ye Chen tore open a rift and casually sent them out.

Then, he headed deeper, calling out as he went and fishing as he walked.

"Get me out of here quick."

"This damned place, I don't want to stay a second longer."

"It's really disgusting."

Bai Hu Huang was caught and grumbled loudly.

"Have you seen my family's Lao Jiu?"

Ye Chen asked again, but before he could finish, he suddenly frowned and instinctively turned his head, his gaze deep as if piercing through barriers to see Miaomiao Domain. Vaguely, he spotted a pitch-black pillar piercing the heavens and earth.

"Heavenly demons are invading."

Ye Chen snorted coldly and vanished from the turbulence in an instant.
