My Informative Cultivation Life

Time ticked by gradually.

Xuanyuan Tuoba, Yang Ji, and Ji Cangjun had been locked in combat with Yun Fengyang for three whole years, and still, there was no resolution.

Yun Fengyang appeared determined to break apart the trio, knowing that if he could force just one to leave, he'd be able to defeat them one by one.

Not only would he be able to slay two Dao Children, he would also gain a temporal magical treasure—the rewards were enormous.

Yet both Xuanyuan Tuoba and Ji Cangjun had their own schemes in mind.

Xuanyuan Tuoba knew his speed was inadequate; if he left, he would likely meet a terrible end.

Ji Cangjun, unwilling to let Yun Fengyang obtain Yang Ji's magical treasure, naturally refused to leave.

Of course, he understood that if the trio were to split up, they would surely meet their demise at the hands of Yun Fengyang, for his speed was too great, one they could not possibly escape from.

Their current alliance, despite seeming fragile, was in reality stronger than iron.

Another two years passed in a hurry.

On this day.

Boom!

A loud noise erupted from the sky, causing numerous hillsides to shake. Yang Ji's entire body trembled as he felt an immensely powerful force descending from above, oppressing him as if it were about to completely subdue his primordial spirit and his mind and body.

He looked up at the sky.

There, he saw a colossal black palace.

The palace was shrouded in deep black, as if constructed from the night itself, resembling a residence fit for ten thousand demons or a palace for the night deities.

From within the palace, the slightest movement exuded an aura that could dissolve the sky firmament and shatter heaven and earth. Powerful auras emitted from above made the very essence of the world boil.

The projection of the Superior Dao Artifact, "Dark Celestial Palace" had appeared!

Yang Ji's eyes turned cold! He saw the hillside under his feet crack inch by inch, as the force of the "Dark Celestial Palace" seemed intent on crushing both him and the entire hillside into dust. Domineering, overbearing, peerless—such was the impression this superior dao artifact conveyed when it emerged before Yang Ji.

"It's the Dark Celestial Palace, damn it! The Black Emperor has come!" Xuanyuan Tuoba's face drastically changed. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

"The Black Emperor!" Ji Cangjun's expression grew equally grim.

"Yun Fengyang, you actually can't suppress them, and now you need my assistance?"

An imperial voice emanated from the "Dark Celestial Palace," cold yet composed, devoid of anger but brimming with authority, as if an unparalleled emperor was speaking.

"This is bad, very bad! The Black Emperor has come himself, this fellow is also a fierce character who has slain three Dao Calamities. If he joins forces with Yun Fengyang, we can't withstand a single blow! If we split now, there's a slim chance of survival!" Xuanyuan Tuoba immediately exclaimed.

"This is just a projection. If we fall into disarray now, Yun Fengyang will only break us one by one!" Yang Ji sternly called out to stop him.

"A projection? Damn it, trying to scare me?" Xuanyuan Tuoba was filled with doubt and anxiety, and with a thunderous roar, he swung his axe to strike.

The colossal "Dark Celestial Palace" immediately began to ripple like water, and under Xuanyuan Tuoba's axe blow, it dimmed significantly.

It was like a ship in a storm, ready to capsize at any moment.

As expected!

It was indeed just a projection!

Seeing this, both Xuanyuan Tuoba and Ji Cangjun let out a sigh of relief.

However, the seriousness on their faces did not fade.

For they knew that if the Black Emperor could send a projection, his true body must be nearby.

The two quickly contemplated what to do next.

Xuanyuan Tuoba thought about leaving, but out of many concerns, he feared Yun Fengyang would target him first.

Ji Cangjun, frowning, wondered whether to seize the opportunity to kill Yang Ji and take his treasures, but he also worried about being pursued by Yun Fengyang, which would surely lead to death.

"Those who challenge my authority must die!" The Black Emperor's supreme authority projected from the palace, pressing down on Xuanyuan Tuoba, who had just taken action.

"Damn it! Am I to be frightened? I'm also a Dao Child; why would I fear you!" Xuanyuan Tuoba bellowed defiantly, launching another axe light towards the Black Celestial Palace's projection to try to shatter it.

"Xuanyuan Tuoba! Today, you are destined to die!" The Black Emperor's voice once again transmitted mercilessly below.

"I'm waiting for you!" Xuanyuan Tuoba was also ignited with rage, roaring toward the sky firmament.

With repeated swings of his hefty axe, he unleashed divine skills of an unparalleled level, aiming to smash the projection of the Dark Celestial Palace!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

With three axe strikes, the projection of the Dark Celestial Palace was obliterated on the spot.

"Haha, dare to oppose me? Even if your true body were here, I'd still blast you to smithereens!" Xuanyuan Tuoba laughed triumphantly.

"Is that so?" A chillingly indifferent voice suddenly fell from above, and the next moment, the Dark Celestial Palace reappeared in the sky firmament.

Atop it stood a man in a black robe, whose eyes seemed to concentrate all the darkness in the world, coalescing into two points so black that they seemed impenetrable, drawing in any onlooker to sink into timeless darkness.

He stood silently atop the Dark Celestial Palace, like the dominator of darkness, with blackness swirling all around him, neither righteous nor evil, neither corrupt nor pure. Darkness descended like a peaceful night, yet heavy with the intent to kill.

"Dark Immortal Body, Eyes of Darkness!" Yang Ji glanced at him and instantly gathered some information.

"Die!" The Black Emperor looked at Xuanyuan Tuoba and coldly uttered.

"Damn it, just telling me to die, do you think you are the Heavenly Emperor?" Xuanyuan Tuoba roared, raising his axe and slashing forth another axe light.

The figure atop the Dark Celestial Palace merely extended a finger, releasing a black beam of light that obliterated the attack.

"Huh?" Xuanyuan Tuoba's pupils constricted as his face involuntarily changed.

"Be careful, this is not a projection. It's his true body come in person!" Yang Ji warned in a grave voice.
