One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!
Those with discernment could naturally recognize this Peerless Divine Ability.
"Wasn't it said that the Heavenly Emperor's successor was not this Lu Bai? Then why does he also know this Divine Ability?"
Golden Eagle Emperor secretly transmitted his voice to the other two and asked in confusion.
Violet Cloud True Lord, however, knew something about it and explained to them, "Rumor has it that the Heavenly Emperor's successor also joined the Five Elements Divine Palace. Most likely he was forced by this person to hand over the Divine Ability..."
That Heavenly Emperor successor had not even reached Earth Sovereign, so how could he possibly protect the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance? Naturally, others would covet it.
"Forget about that for now. Are we confident in taking this child down?" Venerable Thunder Note asked directly.
Golden Eagle Emperor coldly snorted with killing intent overflowing as he said, "So what if it is One Qi Transforms into Three Purities? The three of us attacking together, I refuse to believe those clones can truly be as powerful as the main body!"
That was indeed correct.
Although the clones created by One Qi Transforms into Three Purities possessed the same cultivation as the main body, they certainly could not have the same combat strength.
The reason Lu Bai had managed to gain the upper hand against Violet Cloud True Lord earlier was mostly because of his Dragon Phoenix Scripture and Sovereign Celestial Body. Those were powers the clones could not possess.
However, just as the three of them were preparing to cast aside all dignity and join forces to suppress this youngster who had already threatened the overlord status of the three great sects.
A simple ancient crystal longsword suddenly appeared in Lu Bai's hand.
"Well then, have you all finished discussing it? Are we still fighting or not?"
Looking at the crystal longsword in Lu Bai's hand, the eyes of Violet Cloud True Lord and the other two suddenly widened, their faces filled with disbelief.
"That is the Heavenly Emperor Sword?!"
The words "Heavenly Emperor Sword" echoed across heaven and earth, and after countless people reacted, greed and fear appeared in their expressions.
"An Peerless Saint Artifact!"
Violet Cloud True Lord gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
One must know that as the Sect Master of the Violet Cloud Sect, and with a Super Force backing him, he only possessed a single quasi-Peerless Saint Artifact, the Violet Divine Glow.
That was only because he had been specially rewarded with it back when he had been ordered to come to the Skylaw Continent to compete for dominance.
Yet now he was seeing some unknown brat not only possessing such monstrous combat strength, but also wielding a treasure he himself did not even dare dream of. How could this not make him both furious and jealous?
Still, as an overlord of one region, he would not lose his rationality over this. Especially given Lu Bai's current strength, if he also wielded a weapon like the Heavenly Emperor Sword, then he might truly be capable of killing any one of them.
After realizing this, not only did Violet Cloud True Lord abandon the thought of continuing the fight, even Golden Eagle Emperor and Venerable Thunder Note instantly decided they no longer wished to involve themselves in today's battle.
After all, it was the Violet Cloud Sect that had suffered losses. Why should they risk their lives for this?
This scene was also witnessed by many Northern Region experts.
Anyone with discernment understood that after this battle, the rise of the Five Elements Divine Palace had become unstoppable.
However, the lack of foundation within the Five Elements Divine Palace had also been completely exposed. Other than the two Palace Masters, there was not a single truly capable fighter among the rest. This caused many Northern Region experts to develop thoughts of their own.
If they joined the Five Elements Divine Palace at this time, would they not rise straight to the top?
Most importantly, the Ancient Heavenly Palace had fallen into Lu Bai's hands. Although outsiders did not know exactly how much foundation remained within it, it was certainly not to be underestimated. Therefore, they were not worried about failing to gain benefits after joining the Five Elements Divine Palace.
This had actually been one of Lu Bai's goals all along!
Holding the Heavenly Emperor Sword, Lu Bai alone faced the three great overlords who had dominated the Northern Domain for many years, and his aura even held the advantage.
"Well then, are the three of you choosing to fight or to make peace?"
Golden Eagle Emperor and Venerable Thunder Note both fell silent. After a long while, it was Venerable Thunder Note who finally spoke.
"We only wished to preserve the peace and stability the Northern Domain has maintained for many years. We do not wish to recklessly engage in conflict with Palace Master Lu Bai. However, since Palace Master Lu Bai wishes to contribute his own strength to the Northern Domain, then on behalf of Thunder Note Mountain, I welcome it."
Although his words sounded rather grand and righteous, in summary, it came down to just two words.
Admitting defeat!
Lu Bai nodded in satisfaction before turning his gaze toward Golden Eagle Emperor.
The latter sensed the coldness in Lu Bai's gaze. Though furious internally, he also understood that now was not the time to directly clash with the other party.
"If the Five Elements Divine Palace wishes to dominate, fine. But it still must follow the rules!"
Lu Bai heard the meaning in his words and lightly smiled.
"You mean the Northern Domain Hegemony? Rest assured, my Five Elements Divine Palace certainly will not be absent when the time comes."
If the Violet Cloud Sect had not come looking for trouble first, Lu Bai had originally planned to make his move during the Northern Domain Hegemony anyway.
It was simply unfortunate for them that events had coincidentally aligned this way.
"Good. Since that is the case, then my Golden Eagle Palace will no longer interfere in today's matter. Farewell!"
After speaking, Golden Eagle Emperor transformed into a streak of golden light and vanished.
Seeing this, Venerable Thunder Note also smiled and cupped his fists toward Lu Bai before quickly departing.
Nominally, this battle had been a conflict between the Five Elements Divine Palace and the Violet Cloud Sect. Although their departure was somewhat lacking in loyalty, it was still understandable.
However, this left Violet Cloud True Lord utterly miserable.
Now, facing Lu Bai alone, who wielded the Heavenly Emperor Sword and possessed a Divine Ability like One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, it was entirely possible that the latter could wipe them all out by himself!
At this moment, Lu Bai was also smiling as he looked at him and calmly asked, "So then, Sect Master Violet Cloud, shall we continue fighting?"
Violet Cloud True Lord gritted his teeth. His face had already turned completely dark as he said in a deep voice, "This time, my Violet Cloud Sect has lost. Speak then, what do you want?"
"Straightforward!"
Lu Bai clapped his hands and laughed.
After putting away his clones and the Heavenly Emperor Sword, Lu Bai slowly walked over before stopping opposite Violet Cloud True Lord. Looking at the gloomy eyes of the latter, he smiled and said, "Since the Violet Cloud Sect admits defeat, then there is nothing much to discuss. Naturally, it comes down to ceding territory and paying compensation!"
Violet Cloud True Lord remained silent, clearly having already mentally prepared himself for this.
Seeing this, Lu Bai ignored him. With a wave of his sleeve, spiritual light surged through the sky before ultimately transforming into an enormous map of the Northern Domain.
The territories on the map were clearly divided. Nearly eighty percent of the entire Northern Region was occupied by the three sects, while the Northern Realm happened to be located in a remote corner of the Northern Region. Other than a few scattered forces nearby, the largest neighboring force was naturally the Violet Cloud Sect.
Lu Bai flicked his finger and a streak of spiritual light shot into the map. Immediately afterward, everyone saw the territory of the Northern Realm begin rapidly expanding, violently pushing into the territory of the Violet Cloud Sect and directly occupying half of their lands.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded, while the experts of the Violet Cloud Sect were furious to the point their eyes nearly split apart!
If so much territory was truly handed over to the Five Elements Divine Palace, then what kind of Northern Region overlord would the Violet Cloud Sect still be?
"You are far too greedy!" Violet Cloud True Lord's face had already turned iron green. Seeing Lu Bai act with such complete disregard, he could not help but say, "Be careful that your greed does not become a snake trying to swallow an elephant!"
Truthfully, with the current strength of the Five Elements Divine Palace, directly occupying so much territory would definitely lead to many problems. However, Lu Bai had never planned to completely straighten out these lands in a short period of time.
What he wanted was merely the nominal ownership of these territories.
First, he would collect the benefits that should belong to him, such as Sovereign Spiritual Liquid and the like. The rest could slowly be reorganized over time.
"The victor becomes king while the loser becomes bandit. What greed is there to speak of?"
"As for the rest, there is no need for Sect Master Violet Cloud to concern himself..."
"Now that we are done discussing territory cession, it is time to talk about compensation." Lu Bai continued without caring about Violet Cloud True Lord's expression.
Hearing this, Violet Cloud True Lord's face twitched violently. He then took a deep breath and said, "Palace Master Lu, your strength is indeed formidable. However, you should also understand that the reason my Violet Cloud Sect has been able to dominate the Northern Region for so many years is not without cause..."
Lu Bai waved his hand.
"You mean the Super Force behind you?"
"I know that not only your Violet Cloud Sect, but the three great overlords of the Northern Region are all merely puppets being supported from behind. Otherwise, do you think I would be speaking so politely? Wouldn't it be better if I simply killed all of you directly? Then the entire Northern Region would belong to me!"
"But now although I imagine the Heavenly Sovereign behind you is furious, he will not break the rules of the Skylaw Continent because of me. So when the time comes, the unlucky one will not be me. It will only be you..."
The moment these words were spoken, Violet Cloud True Lord's originally iron green face instantly turned pale.
If things truly reached that point, he did not know whether Lu Bai would suffer or not, but his own ending definitely would not be pleasant.
Taking a deep breath, Violet Cloud True Lord forcefully suppressed the panic in his heart and said in a deep voice, "It is impossible to cede that much territory. It would definitely alarm those above. At that time, even if I suffer, your Five Elements Divine Palace certainly will not fare well either. Even if Heavenly Sovereigns are restrained from acting because of the ancient agreement, there is no guarantee the person behind me would not send even more experts to reclaim what belongs to the Violet Cloud Sect. Palace Master Lu, perhaps you are unafraid, but what about your Five Elements Divine Palace?"
"How about this. We each take a step back. I can decide to cede territory twice the size of the Northern Realm to you, and compensate you with five hundred million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. How does that sound?"
Truthfully speaking, Violet Cloud True Lord was truly bleeding heavily this time.
After this incident, even if the Violet Cloud Sect managed to retain its overlord position, it would still take a very long time to recover.
Lu Bai's eyes flickered slightly. Originally, he had demanded so much territory because he intended to harvest a large wave of benefits first. However, if Violet Cloud True Lord was truly willing to provide enough Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, then he would not mind taking a slight loss in this regard.
"One billion!"
"And I also want your Violet Divine Glow..."
Lu Bai opened his mouth like a lion.
Violet Cloud True Lord instantly exploded in fury.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
One billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was already enough to make his heart bleed, but if Lu Bai also wanted the Violet Divine Glow, then he might as well give up the position of Sect Master of the Violet Cloud Sect and obediently return to accept punishment.
Grinding his teeth, Violet Cloud True Lord looked at Lu Bai and wished he could bite this greedy bastard to death piece by piece!
"One billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, I can agree to that. But the Violet Divine Glow absolutely cannot be given to you!"
Looking at Lu Bai's indifferent expression, Violet Cloud True Lord steeled himself once more and said, "At most, I can add one High Rank Saint Artifact. Otherwise, we fight to the death today!"
Seeing Violet Cloud True Lord like this, Lu Bai knew it was about enough.
After all, the other party was still an overlord level expert. If pushed any further, he truly would start fighting desperately.
At present, Lu Bai still did not plan on confronting the Heavenly Sovereign behind him.
"Very well, let it be so." Lu Bai nodded in agreement.
Violet Cloud True Lord also let out a sigh of relief, but immediately afterward, his heart ached so badly he nearly suffocated.
One billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Even for an overlord like the Violet Cloud Sect, that required several years of accumulation. Not to mention a High Rank Saint Artifact, which was an invaluable treasure even within the Great Thousand World.
Raising his hand, he tossed over a Space Bracelet as he said with a dark expression, "There is one billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquid inside..."
Afterward, a slender needle shrouded in violet qi appeared in his hand.
"This is the Violet Cloud Needle. It was condensed from the Violet Glow Divine Light of heaven and earth. Once unleashed, it can emit ten thousand rays of light, melting spirit and dissolving bone until both body and soul are annihilated. Even a Greater Earth Sovereign would have no possibility of survival beneath this needle."
With a wave of his hand, Lu Bai took the tiny violet needle into his grasp. After examining it carefully, he found it truly extraordinary. At the tip of the needle seemed to be a black dot. Looking closely, one would discover it was actually a torn spatial crack.
"Indeed, it is a good item!"
At present, throughout the entire Five Elements Divine Palace, aside from himself, no one possessed a treasure of such level. Lu Bai naturally had no use for it himself, but giving it to Mandala was perfectly suitable.
"Very good. Then today's matter shall end here. Sect Master Violet Cloud, we shall meet again at the Northern Domain Plains!"
Violet Cloud True Lord's face twitched. He never wanted to see this fellow again for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, such thoughts could only remain fantasies. When the Northern Domain Hegemony began in the future, who knew what kind of trouble this greedy vampire would stir up again.
Cupping his fists, Violet Cloud True Lord could not even be bothered with polite words. He directly turned around and returned to the Violet Cloud Sect camp before leading everyone away from the wasteland at rapid speed.
As for Lu Bai, he naturally received an enthusiastic welcome from everyone in the Five Elements Divine Palace, and the cheers even echoed throughout the entire wasteland.
It was no wonder these people were so excited.
After all, those were the three great overlords who had dominated the Northern Region for a thousand years. Yet this time, they had been forced to lower their heads before their own Palace Master. This filled everyone in the Five Elements Divine Palace with immense pride, while Lu Bai's prestige throughout the entire Five Elements Divine Palace, and even the whole Northern Realm, reached its peak.
After this battle, Lu Bai had vaguely gained the title of the number one person in the Northern Region. Countless heavenly geniuses of the Northern Domain regarded Lu Bai as their goal and role model, while innumerable experts came because of his reputation, hoping to join the Five Elements Divine Palace as early as possible.
For the moment, Lu Bai had no interest in dealing with such matters and directly handed them over to Mandala, the Vice Palace Master.
Of course, the most important thing now was to distribute the rewards from this battle first, even though these people had not actually contributed much at all and had merely served as background decoration.
Of the one billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquid Lu Bai obtained this time, he gave one hundred million to Mandala as a reward for managing the enormous Five Elements Divine Palace during these past days. In addition, there was also the High Rank Saint Artifact, the Violet Cloud Needle, which caused countless people to become envious.
However, it was only envy.
After all, Lu Bai, the Palace Master, was more like a mascot who did not handle any affairs. The reason the Five Elements Divine Palace had been able to operate so smoothly and continue growing stronger was primarily due to Mandala's efforts!
Therefore, no matter how many rewards she received, it would not be excessive!
