"Old Emperor, have you brought the items I need?"

Ye Zichen looked at Di Jiu, who had an odd expression and slightly narrowed his eyes, and asked.

"Young Master Ye, holy swords are too precious. I used my identity to search the entire Nine Heavens Divine Kingdom's Treasure Repository and found a total of five medium-grade holy swords and forty-two low-grade holy swords!" Di Jiu said, "But I've brought you the ten thousand top quality formation pillars that you need."

"Alright, let's go to Empyrean Terminator's sleeping area!" Ye Chenfeng said.

"Alright!"

Di Jiu did not dare to disobey Ye Chenfeng's orders, so he nodded his head in agreement.

"Let's go!"

Ye Zichen entered the Cosmic Charm and had Di Jiu bring the Cosmic Charm to leave the cave he cultivated in order to head towards the deepest part of the Spirit Mountain, a bottomless spiritual pond.

And this spiritual pond was the true master of the Nine Heavens Divine Kingdom, the place where Empyrean Terminator slept.

"Ancestor, why have you come?"

Two old men wearing gray robes whose auras merged with the surrounding space. They didn't even need the naked eye to notice their presence to open their eyes. When they saw the sudden arrival of Di Jiu, they revealed expressions of surprise.

"What, do I need to report to you for coming here?" Di Jiu's face darkened as he asked majestically.

"Ancestor, please calm your anger. That is not what we meant!"

Although the two gray-clothed old men were extremely experienced and had reached the Nirvana Realm, they didn't dare act rashly in front of an Empyrean Emperor.

"I want to see Empyrean Terminus! Quickly open the restrictions of the spirit pond!" Di Jiu ordered with an irresistible force.

"This, this, this, this, this, Sky Sovereign has the order to not let anyone disturb his slumber unless my Nine Heavens Divine Kingdom is on the verge of a life and death crisis!" The two elderly men in gray explained in fear.

"It seems like all you know is Empyrean Exterminate the Heavens, and you don't recognize an Empyrean like me!"

Di Jiu exuded a domineering aura. Two multiplying dao diagrams appeared on his body. Under the terrified gazes of the two elderly men, he attacked them.

Although the two gray-clothed elders wanted to dodge, Di Jiu was much stronger than them. Before they could react, the two great dao diagrams had already struck their bodies, instantly shattering them and turning them into two bloody mists.

"Ancient Sky Shrouding Diagram, Forbidden Sky!"

When Di Jiu killed the two elderly men, the Ancient Heaven Shrouding Diagram appeared. Under Ye Zichen's control, it restricted the entire space and sealed the surrounding area of the spirit pond for several miles.

When the space around him was covered by the ancient Heaven-Shrouding Diagram, Di Jiu summoned the top grade saint artifact Huang Ji sword that he had forcefully obtained from Di Saber Jue. He lifted the sword and forcefully slashed at the seal restriction of the spirit pond.

"Rumble!"

When the restrictions on the Spirit Pool suffered an all-out attack from Di Jiu, it began to tremble violently. Large numbers of patterns appeared in the air, causing the entire space to tremble violently.

However, the restrictions of the spirit pond were created by Empyrean Exterminate the Heavens. It was extremely powerful, and even with Di Jiu's strength, he was unable to break through it in a single strike.

"Space Devouring Bug, Devouring Seal!"

Ye Zichen did not let Di Jiu break through the restrictions. He summoned out the Void Devouring Worm, which was devouring the blood from the sacred beast, and ordered it to devour the restrictions outside the spirit pond.

As the Void Devouring Bug continued to devour the blood essence of Saint Beasts, its ability to devour became stronger and stronger. As it devoured, a gap appeared in the restrictions of the Spirit Pool.

Roughly three days later, the Void Devouring Worm had bitten open a gap about half the height of a person in the formation outside of the Spirit Pool. With a thought, Di Jiu and the Void Devouring Worm entered the icy cold and full of strong Sky Qi.

"Di Jiu, if you see Empyrean Terminus, act according to plan. Don't let him see that you're suspicious." Ye Zichen sent a mental message.

"I understand!"

Di Jiu adjusted his breathing, tearing the ice-cold water apart and swimming towards the bottom of the pond at an extremely fast speed.

Soon enough, the blurry figure of Di Jiu swam to the bottom of the pitch black pond and saw a jade with a large number of Innate Inscriptions engraved on it that emitted a faint light. On top of the jade was a man completely shrouded in black light.

"Empyrean Terminator, I'm back!"

Seeing that the true ruler of the Nine Heavens Divine Kingdom was far stronger than his Empyrean Emperor Exterminate the Heavens, it was hard for him not to feel a bit guilty. He said this in a low voice.

"Di Jiu, you're not dead! Where have you been all these years?!"

Feeling the familiar aura from Di Jiu, the man shrouded in black light opened his tightly shut eyes. A deep, ancient voice came from his mouth, causing the pool water to churn violently.

"I was trapped in a dangerous place. I just got out a few days ago!" Di Jiu said what he had thought of beforehand.

"Di Jiu, who exactly is the person with the strength to trap you for so many years?" Empyrean Terminus slowly sat up, revealing a face that appeared somewhat ordinary. He was around forty years old.

"I am not sure about that person's identity, but that person's strength is too terrifying. I am like a child in front of him, unable to struggle at all!" Di Jiu continued to narrate.

"Since that person is this powerful, why did he only suppress you and not kill you?" Senior Exterminate the Heavens asked suspiciously.

"I'm not sure about that!" Di Jiu vaguely said, "It's hard to guess if it's true or false."

"Di Jiu, why did you let me sleep today?" Senior Exterminate the Heavens said, "I don't think you're here to reminisce about the past."

"I came to find you today because I have something very important to discuss with you!" Di Jiu said, "A few days ago, the Eight Qi Kingdom was forcefully pushed aside by someone. The ancient Demon Lord couldn't even wake up easily, and that person who pushed the Eight Qi Kingdom to the side came to our Nine Heavens Palace to cause trouble and kill the Gray Heaven Saint."

"In the end, I captured him alive, but his identity is a bit special. I don't know how to deal with him, so I'm here to discuss it with you!"

"What's his identity?" Senior Exterminate the Heavens asked after a moment of thought.

"He seems to be related to the real masterminds of the humankind!" Di Jiu said.

"The human has finally made his move!" Senior Exterminate the Heavens revealed a grave expression. "Di Jiu, bring that person to me. I want to see him!"

"I've already brought him here!"

As he spoke, Ye Chenfeng, who was wrapped around the powerful shackles of the restrictive formation, left the Cosmic Star Realm and lay down in front of the unfathomably powerful Sky Emperor.
