Chapter 302: The Emperor’s Daughter!

Qingqiu!

Not only Ye Tianming, but all the Guanxuan Universe powerhouses present were eagerly anticipating the girl called Qingqiu.

In the last battle between the Yang family and the Divine Realm, the girl called Qingqiu had suppressed a Huaquan Realm powerhouse with a single hand.

That was the source of their confidence.

As for the Guanxuan Sword Master, the Human World Sword Master, the Azure Robe Sword Master, and the older generation Yang family members, most of them had never really seen these figures, so no one knew much about their strength.

So far, the only one who had actually made a move was Qingqiu.

Suppressing a Huaquan Realm powerhouse with one hand!

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

Everyone followed Ye Tianming’s lead and looked up toward the depths of the void. Soon, a woman appeared in their field of vision.

The woman was dressed in a long robe, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, radiating a heroic air.

Who was this?

Everyone was a little puzzled.

Ye Tianming asked inwardly, “Xiaohun, do you know this senior?”

“Of course!”

Xiaohun giggled and said, “She’s the wife of the Azure Robe Sword Master, the Imperial Daughter Zhuang Weiran. She’s incredibly powerful too.”

Ye Tianming was a little disappointed. “It’s not Senior Qingqiu?”

Xiaohun said, “No, no… Little Master, do you want to meet Sister Qingqiu?”

Ye Tianming smiled. “I’d love to!”

Xiaohun said, “No rush, you’ll definitely get to meet her someday.”

Ye Tianming nodded.

After Zhuang Weiran stepped forward, she gripped her Fangtian painted halberd and slammed it hard into the ground before her.

Boom!

In an instant, the entire Divine Path battlefield shook violently, as if struck by a massive earthquake.

And the unsettling feeling that had been making everyone’s souls uncomfortable vanished without a trace in that very moment.

Zhuang Weiran suddenly looked toward Ye Tianming.

Ye Tianming was looking back at her, calm and composed.

Zhuang Weiran withdrew her gaze.

Ye Tianming smiled.

Because he could feel the hostility coming from her.

He had no way of knowing that throughout history, the Yang family and the Suqun Tianming had never gotten along.

Later on, if not for the Human World Sword Master, there would have been no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.

Of course, even now it couldn’t be called a reconciliation — it was more of a temporary truce.

Zhuang Weiran looked up toward the Grand Sovereign Emperor not far away, who was also looking at her at that moment.

The world’s top-tier powerhouses.

Without any words, the two of them suddenly became ethereal.

When they reappeared, they were already in an unknown space-time.

This space-time

The spatial structure here was extraordinarily complex, twisting and folding at times, like a massive labyrinth that made it nearly impossible to find one’s bearings.

And throughout this complex space-time region, eerie space-time abysses were everywhere, within which flickered terrifyingly deep black lightning — bolt after bolt roaring like ancient titans, sending out wave after wave of heart-stopping, thunderous cries.

“The Outer Dao Space-Time!”

Among the crowd, a Huaquan Realm powerhouse suddenly spoke up.

The Outer Dao Space-Time!

Ye Tianming was puzzled. He looked up toward Jiding and Jiyuan.

Jiyuan explained, “This Outer Dao Space-Time is the place where the Outer Dao Heavenly Demons appear. This space-time is extremely strange — within it, time and distance become relative. Sometimes a single step could span tens of millions of years, while other times, vast stretches of time seem to pass in the blink of an eye…”

As he spoke, his expression gradually grew solemn. “If those Outer Dao Heavenly Demons appear, it becomes even more terrifying.”

Ye Tianming said, “They appear when someone challenges the Grand Dao Rankings, right?”

Jiyuan nodded. “Yes.”

Ye Tianming gave a slight nod and looked toward Jiding. “I’ll be counting on you then, Brother Jiding.”

Jiding waved a big hand and laughed. “A small matter — for our Ji Clan, it’s nothing.”

Jiyuan’s mouth twitched.

As if thinking of something, Jiyuan glanced at Ye Tianming. “Young friend, you should watch this battle carefully. They are all Huaquan Realm, and the very finest of the Huaquan Realm at that. Their battle will surely reveal their own Grand Dao, which will certainly be of benefit to you.”

Ye Tianming nodded. “Understood.”

With that, he looked toward the distant Outer Dao Space-Time.

At that moment, Miss Ding suddenly walked up beside him. “Young Master Ye, what exactly are you trying to do?”

Ye Tianming smiled. “Miss Ding, you’re getting anxious.”

Miss Ding fell silent.

Honestly, she was genuinely curious about Ye Tianming’s intentions.

If she had a choice, she would not have chosen to let Ye Tianming come out and become “Yang Jia,” because the last time Ye Tianming had acted, he had launched a direct reform. Although his reforms made the Guanxuan Universe better and better, they undeniably weakened the Yang family’s power.

Still, fortunately, the Yang family still had a hundred years. In that time, she could still change the rules.

But with Ye Tianming becoming Yang Jia again, she was worried.

She couldn’t figure out what this Ye Tianming was really after.

Ye Tianming paid her no more attention, instead looking up toward the distant Outer Dao Space-Time.

This was his first time witnessing a Huaquan Realm powerhouse in battle, so he naturally had to watch carefully.

Inside the Outer Dao Space-Time.

The Grand Sovereign Emperor of the Divine Realm glanced at Zhuang Weiran, then without a word, raised the skull scepter in his hand. In an instant, the skull atop the scepter opened its eyes, a strange blood-red light flickering within them. The next moment, a powerful and malevolent force surged out from the scepter like a raging torrent, sweeping through the entire Outer Dao Space-Time in an instant.

Wherever that terrifying force passed, the space of the Outer Dao Space-Time was torn apart, leaving behind jagged space-time rifts that were shocking to behold.

And within those space-time rifts, a terrifying Grand Dao force was continuously shattering unknown space-time matter.

Just then, the Imperial Daughter Zhuang Weiran suddenly flickered, shooting forward like a meteor straight into that terrifying Grand Dao torrent, her Fangtian painted halberd swinging down in a fierce slash.

Slash!

In an instant, the entire Outer Dao Space-Time was split in two, a space-time rift hundreds of thousands of zhang long tearing open.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out, and then the entire Outer Dao Space-Time shook violently like a massive earthquake. Not only that, but the stars spanning tens of trillions of li around the Outer Dao Space-Time trembled and shook — an utterly terrifying sight.

At the sight of this, the expressions of everyone present grew solemn.

Even separated by countless layers of space-time, those present could still feel the terrifying might of the Grand Dao.

Before this Grand Dao might, all below the Huaquan Realm were mere ants.

The ones most affected were undoubtedly the Chenzu Realm powerhouses, for they were only one step away from the Huaquan Realm. Many of them had always felt they were not far behind the Huaquan Realm, but now, witnessing the Grand Sovereign Emperor and Zhuang Weiran make their moves, they finally understood — below the Huaquan Realm, all are ants.

When Ye Tianming saw the Grand Sovereign Emperor and Zhuang Weiran make their moves, his expression also grew quite solemn. This was the Huaquan Realm — with a wave of the hand, everything was obliterated.

Rumble

Inside the Outer Dao Space-Time, terrifying Grand Dao collision sounds rang out one after another, each one as if it would bury everything in the world.

Grand Dao collision!

The battle between the two was undeniably awe-inspiring. Everyone present was fixated on that stretch of Outer Dao Space-Time — a battle between powerhouses of this caliber was not easy to witness.

Especially for those peak Chenzu Realm powerhouses, this battle was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If they could glean some insight from it, perhaps they could take another step forward.

The Huaquan Realm powerhouses were also watching the two battle. Although they were also of the Huaquan Realm, there was clearly a vast gap between them and Zhuang Weiran and the Grand Sovereign Emperor, so watching this battle could still yield gains for them.

Ye Tianming was also fixated on that stretch of Outer Dao Space-Time. He suddenly noticed that although both of them had their own Grand Dao, the core was still their own power — especially Zhuang Weiran, whose every move was pure, ultimate Grand Dao force.

A thought suddenly surfaced in Ye Tianming’s mind.

The Dao!

Was it possible that this so-called Dao was simply one of many ways for people to obtain power?

Comprehending the Dao was the process of acquiring it.

Ye Tianming fell into contemplation.

Beside Ye Tianming, Miss Ding was also watching that stretch of Outer Dao Space-Time. She naturally had confidence in Zhuang Weiran’s strength.

But right now, what she was uneasy about was Ye Tianming.

She was already regretting letting Ye Tianming come.

She turned and glanced at Ye Tianming, and when she saw his expression, her face immediately darkened further.

Because she knew that this Ye Tianming had perhaps comprehended something again.

But soon, her expression returned to calm.

As long as the Suqun woman didn’t make a move, Ye Tianming alone couldn’t stir up any real waves.

Even if he defied the heavens, the Yang family could still suppress him.

And clearly, the Suqun woman would never choose a drop of blood.

Boom!

Just then, a sudden explosion rang out from within the Outer Dao Space-Time, followed by wave after wave of terrifying Grand Dao shockwaves spreading outward in all directions. The terrifying shockwaves tore the entire Outer Dao Space-Time into trenches hundreds of thousands of zhang long — an utterly horrifying sight.

The residual might of the two’s Grand Dao even spread across tens of trillions of star domains.

The Huaquan Realm!

Ye Tianming’s expression was more solemn than it had ever been. Powerhouses of this level, if they were to fight out in the open, could destroy countless civilizations and living beings with a single wave of their hand.

Too terrifying!

Just then, inside the Outer Dao Space-Time, Zhuang Weiran suddenly leaped upward. The next moment, a Fangtian painted halberd descended from the sky and slashed down fiercely, and in an instant, the entire area where they stood shattered apart piece by piece.

Below, the Grand Sovereign Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. He opened his palm, and the skull scepter in his hand transformed into a streak of black light shooting skyward, crashing hard into Zhuang Weiran.

Boom!

The moment their forces collided, it was like two planets smashing into each other, instantly unleashing a world-destroying, heaven-shattering force. At the same time, wave after wave of terrifying Grand Dao shockwaves once again spread outward in all directions.

Both were sent flying back repeatedly by the terrifying shockwave, but very quickly, the two stopped almost simultaneously.

After Zhuang Weiran stopped, she flicked her sleeve, and the surrounding shockwaves were shattered instantly.

In the distance, after the Grand Sovereign Emperor stopped, a flash of ferocity crossed his eyes. The next moment, his eyes ignited directly, and a terrifying, malevolent aura instantly swept across the entire scene.
