Facing the encirclement of seven Great Emperors, Xuan Qi not only showed no fear but instead threw his head back and laughed heartily.
The five Holy Lords found this demon's laughter inexplicable. Wan Guimang, unable to stand his arrogant demeanor, attacked directly.
"After I sever all your four limbs' meridians, let's see if you can still laugh!"
Wan Guimang's True Essence transformed into four long swords, stabbing towards Xuan Qi's limbs.
After his laughter subsided, Xuan Qi's eyes narrowed into a line. He didn't use any other means, simply kicking the incoming four True Essence swords with his foot, shattering them.
Following this, a powerful True Essence fluctuation erupted from Xuan Qi's body, shaking off the Soul Suppressing Chains bound to him.
Without giving anyone time to be surprised, Xuan Qi grabbed the chains again and pulled with all his might. Mu Qingqing, caught off guard, was dragged directly in front of Xuan Qi.
Mu Qingqing reacted swiftly. The Xuanyang Sword flew out from her Spatial Ring, and she grabbed it to block Xuan Qi's attack.
But Xuan Qi was, after all, a Five-Star Great Emperor. The difference between each star at the Great Emperor level was like heaven and earth. A simple punch sent Mu Qingqing, along with her sword, flying.
Mu Qingqing was blasted thousands of meters through the air, eventually smashing into a mountain peak of Xuankong Mountain.
In the consciousness space, Xin Ci, worried about Mu Qingqing's condition, quickly transmitted her voice, asking with concern, "Qingqing, are you alright? Are you injured?"
"Cough cough... I'm fine," Mu Qingqing replied, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.
She felt the chaotic energy within her body and the soreness and trembling in her hands.
Mu Qingqing hadn't expected the gap between Great Emperors to be so vast. She and Xuan Qi were only separated by a small realm of three stars, yet she couldn't even withstand a single punch from him.
It seemed that to capture Xuan Qi, the combined efforts of the five Holy Lords would be necessary.
Ji Honghao, seeing a disciple from his Holy Land being sent flying, was instantly enraged.
He, along with Gu Linyue and the other four Holy Lords, attacked Xuan Qi together.
Xuan Qi's figure darted through the air like a phantom, appearing between Ji Juekong and Ji Honghao in the blink of an eye.
However, although Ji Honghao and Ji Juekong were surprised by Xuan Qi's speed, they were, after all, Holy Lords with True Essence reaching the Four-Star Great Emperor realm. They reacted in time, turning towards each other, and their sword light struck towards Xuan Qi first.
But Xuan Qi dodged by stepping aside and threw two flying daggers at them.
Ji Honghao and Ji Juekong dared not be careless. These two flying daggers were Saint Dao grade Saint Artifacts, not to be underestimated.
They had no choice but to retreat.
The others were not idle either. Gu Linyue had already appeared beside Xuan Qi, swinging the Blood Demon Scythe towards his eyes.
But Xuan Qi simply pinched the scythe blade firmly with two fingers.
"A nice scythe," Xuan Qi's lips curved into a sinister arc. With a flick of his finger, the Blood Demon Scythe, along with Gu Linyue, was sent flying.
Ignoring Gu Linyue's condition, Xuan Qi turned again and extended his hands to catch the long swords of Xuan Qingming and Wan Guimang.
"How is this possible? My Wuxiang Sword is a legendary Saint Artifact, how did you catch it with your hands?!" Wan Guimang exclaimed, his eyes wide.
Upon closer inspection, he finally noticed that Xuan Qi was wearing a pair of black gloves. Could these gloves be Saint Dao grade Saint Artifacts?!
Xuan Qi sneered, gripping Xuan Qingming and Wan Guimang's long swords, spinning them in place, and forcefully throwing them and their wielders away.
Xuan Qingming and Wan Guimang, being Lords of Holy Lands, stabilized themselves in mid-air.
At this moment, Mu Qingqing, Gu Linyue, and the other Holy Lords gathered beside Xuan Qingming and Wan Guimang.
Their gazes fell collectively on Xuan Qi. They had to admit that Xuan Qi was incredibly strong, able to contend with seven Great Emperors alone, and even toy with them.
"This ungrateful disciple, if only I had eliminated him back then. It's truly difficult to deal with him now that he has grown to this extent!" Xuan Qingming said with a frown.
Wan Guimang took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Everyone, for the future of the Eternal Continent, we must eradicate this demon completely."
"So, everyone, show your true abilities and stop holding back!"
"Yes!"
The other four Holy Lords and Gu Linyue nodded in agreement, each summoning their Saint Artifacts. Extremely powerful auras erupted from everyone.
When the seven Great Emperors unleashed their full power, it wasn't just the Xuankong Mountain Holy Land, but even the area within a radius of ten thousand miles trembled.
The Asura Battle Method of the Killing Heart Holy Court, the Grand Pure Cold Intent of the Northern Cold Holy Land, the Xuanming Guiyuan Art of Xuankong Mountain, the Burial Annihilation Sword Style of Burial Sword Pavilion, and the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Evolution Art of Divine Firmament Palace.
The supreme true meanings of the five Great Holy Lands were all unleashed at this moment.
Even Xuan Qi did not dare to face them head-on.
He took a step forward, and all the oppressive might instantly dissipated. The entire Xuankong Mountain Holy Land seemed to have been transported to another dim world.
It appeared Xuan Qi also intended to go all out, directly unleashing his small world, the Ancient Relic Demonic Altar.
Within the Ancient Relic Demonic Altar, Xuan Qi seemed to transform into a king of the dark night, capable of summoning countless ancient demons with a flick of his finger.
"The Ancient Relic Demonic Altar, this is not a small world that can be opened by practicing the Xuanming Guiyuan Art. You ungrateful disciple are indeed colluding with the ancient Netherworld God King in the Twilight Land! You practice an evil technique," Xuan Qingming said, staring at Xuan Qi and coldly sneering.
Xuan Qi looked at Xuan Qingming with cold eyes and replied indifferently, "Master, you are old, and your thoughts have become corrupt and narrow. Power is not divided into good and evil, only strength."
"You ungrateful disciple!" Xuan Qingming was furious and also unleashed his small world, the Boundless Xuan Domain, which collided with Xuan Qi's Ancient Relic Demonic Altar.
However, Xuan Qingming's Boundless Xuan Domain was being swallowed bit by bit by Xuan Qi's Ancient Relic Demonic Altar.
Seeing this, the other Holy Lords also moved to help.
Wan Guimang's Myriad Manifestations World, Ling Qinghan's Extreme Cold Ice Domain, Ji Juekong's Sword Light Kingdom, along with Ji Honghao's and Gu Linyue's Asura Blood Realm.
The small worlds of six Great Emperor powerhouses clashed against Xuan Qi's solitary Ancient Relic Demonic Altar, and for a time, they were evenly matched.
The two immense energies continuously conflicted, stirring the surrounding void.
Soon, a crack appeared in Xuan Qi's Ancient Relic Demonic Altar world and began to spread outwards.
Wan Guimang, Ji Juekong, and others' eyes lit up, and they increased their attacks on Xuan Qi's Ancient Relic Demonic Altar.
As expected, no matter how strong Xuan Qi's Ancient Relic Demonic Altar was, it couldn't withstand the attacks from six small worlds. It soon shattered.
Xuan Qi realized that confronting the five Holy Lords head-on was still too much for him.
So he intended to use the opportunity of the Ancient Relic Demonic Altar's collapse to escape. But at this moment, ten dark chains shot out from the void, entangling his body.
Xuan Qi knew it was Mu Qingqing's Soul Suppressing Chains. He felt no panic when the chains appeared.
This was because Xuan Qi had long anticipated that Mu Qingqing would use the Soul Suppressing Chains to ambush him.
Xuan Qi vanished from his spot and reappeared ten feet away.
He then turned back and caught Mu Qingqing's Xuanyang Sword with one hand.
Looking at Mu Qingqing in front of him, Xuan Qi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "A good sneak attack, but do you know I have been paying attention to you, Miss Xin Ci."
