Chapter 1104 Dire Straits (1)

As Yun Lintian managed to catch the yellow orb, the Boundless Desert Emperor's face contorted in anger for the first time. His aura burst out and blasted Yun Lintian, Master Bai, and everyone away several hundred meters. He didn't care about the world's suppression anymore!

Rumble—

The world shook violently as if the end of the world had arrived. Everyone on the Boundless Desert, including the Eastern Continent, quickly looked at the dark sky that was filled with terrifying thunder blasts.

Inside the Blazing Sun Palace, Yan Yaoting glanced at the sky with a frown between his brows. "That direction…. Boundless Desert?"

As a sovereign of the Eastern Continent, he naturally knew some secrets that ordinary people could access. The Boundless Desert Emperor was one of them.

According to the records, the Boundless Desert Emperor was a man from the Divine Realm, and his strength was evident. That was why the Blazing Sun Palace had never stepped into the desert, and both sides coexisted in peace.

However, looking at the current situation, something must be happening inside to make the Boundless Desert Emperor release his true power.

"Black Sun." Yan Yaoting said calmly, and a tall figure clad in black silently appeared behind him.

"Check it out on those who have entered the desert recently for me." Yan Yaoting said.

"Yes, Master." The man, Black Sun, replied readily and disappeared from the place.

Yan Yaoting stared at the sky for a long time and muttered to himself. "Could it be him?"

Yun Lintian's figure appeared in his mind. According to his people, Yun Lintian simply disappeared after entering Heavenly Cloud Mountain. However, he had a hunch that there was something tricky behind this. It wouldn't be a surprise for him if Yun Lintian triggered this entire event.

Meanwhile, City Lord Yuan, Hong Mei, and the other powerhouses were gathered outside the Central Ruins upon noticing the change in the sky.

As Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm's experts, they couldn't be more familiar with this aura. It was the aura of Heaven's Tribulation!

"What's going on, City Lord Yuan?" Hong Mei asked with a frown.

Yuan Duyi's brows knitted together as he said. "Someone has angered His Majesty."

He turned to look at Huo Ye. "Leader Huo, can you tell me about those people's origin and why you sent them in?"

Huo Ye frowned slightly and didn't reply. Although he knew how powerful Yun Lintian and Lei Zhenxiang were, he didn't think they could anger the Boundless Desert Emperor. What was going on here?

"Hmph! I know who they are." Duan Jiangou snorted coldly. "One of them is the Divine Thunder Palace Master, Lei Zhenxiang, and the young man who looks like a leader is Yun Lintian. According to the rumor, he was the one who turned the tide and drove the Poison Valley out of the Northern Continent."

He glanced at Huo Ye and said coldly. "As for why Leader Huo sent them in… Heh. It's simple. He probably wants to snatch His Majesty's treasure… I didn't expect you to be this courageous. You actually dare to rebel."

When his words came out, everyone's gaze locked on Huo Ye, waiting for his explanation.

To everyone's surprise, Huo Ye smiled faintly and said. "It doesn't matter what you believe. I know what I am doing, and I don't need to explain it to all of you."

His gaze swept over everyone, and he paused at Yuan Duyi. "What you should worry about right now is how to deal with this situation."

He looked toward the sky and continued. "I'm afraid this desert is likely to cease to exist soon."

Although Yuan Duyi wanted to press Huo Yi further, he had to admit that Huo Ye was right. This wasn't the time to talk about this.

Immediately, he contacted his subordinates and quickly activated the protective formations around the Boundless City.

Meanwhile, Madam Leisure's eyes were filled with splendor light. She stared at the sandstorm in the distance as if she could see what was happening inside the ruins.

***

"How dare you defy me!?" Inside the ruins, the Boundless Desert Emperor roared furiously. Every single droplet of sand in the entire ruins seemed to have gathered behind him, forming a massive wall of sand to block all the sunlight.

His eyes were shone with apocalyptic yellow light, making him look extremely scary. He turned to look at Master Bai, who slowly got up from the ground with the Heaven Piercing Sword in his hand. "You have ruined my good deed today. I will send you to hell first."

A trace of disdain appeared on Master Bai's face. "Heh. How long has it been since a mere ant like you spoke to me like this?… Come. Let me see what you can do."

"Die!" The Boundless Desert Emperor was furious at Master Bai's taunt. Obviously, Master Bai used the same sentence he spoke previously.

Rumble—

The ground exploded, and a distorted space vortex appeared around Master Bai's body, followed by countless sharp earth spikes.

Master Bai's eyelids drooped slightly. His aura turned tranquil as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Clang!

Suddenly, Master Bai shook his wrist, and the Heaven Piercing Sword released an ear-piercing cry. His eyes which were half closed, abruptly opened, revealing a pair of hellish eyes that resembled a devil from hell.

In that instant, the entire space was filled with bloodthirsty killing intent. It was as if a devil god was staring at this place, making Yun Lintian and the others shiver involuntarily.

"Hurry up and do whatever you need to do! I can stay in this form for another minute." Master Bai's voice suddenly resounded in Yun Lintian's mind, bringing him back to his sense.

Without waiting further, Yun Lintian's attention was all focused on The Earth in his hand. A powerful current flushed into his body like a broken dam, cleansing every trace of the Boundless Desert Emperor's residual power inside.

At the same time, Master Bai swiftly swung the sword, creating spatial rifts around the Boundless Desert Emperor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was as if the space was collapsing. All the earth spikes the Boundless Desert Emperor created were destroyed with the powerful and sharp slash from Master Bai.

In the next moment, Master Bai's figure reappeared beside the Boundless Desert Emperor, and he quickly slashed toward the latter's head. "Go to hell!"
