Upon seeing this information, he thought, "I truly want to see your real form."

Suddenly, a resounding sound filled the air as the spiritual energy of both clashed, causing the protective formation around the area to tremble and shatter. Everyone present was shocked. At first, they saw a darkness enveloping both the Divine Lord and Jiang Yun, like a shroud from the night sky. When the darkness faded, Jiang Yun and the Divine Lord reappeared, amidst the confusion of those present. Everyone was puzzled — why were the two ready to kill each other instead of focusing on Ye Chen?

Jiang Yun smirked coldly, glancing around before shouting, "Mu Shuyuan, take Gongsun Lei away and begin the plan!"

Without hesitation, Mu Shuyuan rushed to grab Gongsun Lei and activated the runes to open a teleportation formation. Gongsun Lei's painful voice echoed, "Calm down, girl! My bones are breaking!"

The swift movements left those remaining in shock. The two figures at the center of the conflict locked eyes, their Emperor-level auras spreading like a rapidly forming storm.

The Elder Guardians, who were also at the Emperor level, barely dared to breathe. As they emerged to assess the situation, they were stunned and terrified to realize that Jiang Yun's aura surpassed their own abilities.

A voice cried out amid the panic, "Jiang Yun is an Emperor!" It was filled with fear and disbelief. "And not just any Emperor! A peak-level Emperor!"

Ye Chen, Gu Qingxue, Li Yutong, Guan Mengyao, Zhang Xinye, and all the disciples stared at Jiang Yun in shock. His powerful and overwhelming aura was clearly felt by everyone. For a moment, there was silence, as if no one could breathe.

Those around stared, both amazed and fearful. This confrontation was more than just a fight — it was a moment that could alter the fate of the entire land.

Jiang Yun offered a slight smile, his eyes cold and sharp, reflecting a confidence that had never known fear. "Where have you taken my master?" he asked, his voice calm but carrying an underlying force.

The Divine Lord immediately unleashed his peak Emperor-level power to suppress Jiang Yun's spiritual energy and replied, "She has returned to the world where she belongs. You don't need to search for her because even if you find her, she won't remember you, and she might even kill you."

Jiang Yun smiled. "Does this mean you're letting me go? If so, I thank you in advance."

The Divine Lord responded, "Hmph, I think I have less than a fifty percent chance of defeating you. I only have three imperial weapons at my disposal... I might not be able to kill you..."

As the Divine Lord spoke, both of them launched a surprise attack simultaneously. Blades of energy and waves of ice clashed violently, sending some of the disciples flying instantly. Everyone was shocked that these two had suddenly begun their battle without any warning. The Elder Guardians quickly moved to relocate all the disciples to a safe place. Meanwhile, Ye Chen took the opportunity to escape, assisted by Long Xichao, who led him away while feeling immense fear and pain. Most importantly, Ye Chen sensed that Jiang Yun had done something while searching his soul, causing him to scream in agony before fleeing immediately.

The Divine Lord remarked, "I thought you were someone with integrity, but I was clearly mistaken if you resort to a sneak attack like this. And are you really going to let that insect escape?"

Jiang Yun smirked slightly, "It is still necessary for me to conduct some experiments."

The Divine Lord replied, "You are indeed cunning, treating others' lives as mere experiments. What a nasty personality you have! How could my dear granddaughter have brought back someone like you?"

Jiang Yun ignored him and initiated another attack, releasing a tremendous amount of ice power from his palm. He created a massive wave of ice several tens of feet high, rushing toward the Divine Lord with unstoppable speed and force. The ice wave shattered the stone ground upon contact, sending fragments of stone and snow flying everywhere. The Divine Lord immediately leaped to dodge the attack, spinning in midair while wielding his sword to deflect the scattered ice. He counterattacked with a dazzling slash of sword energy, sending a powerful wave slicing through the air toward Jiang Yun. The wave was so strong that the surrounding trees were sliced into pieces, scattering debris in all directions.

Jiang Yun dodged to the side and used his ice power to create multiple thick ice walls to block the sword energy. However, the Divine Lord's sword easily cut through these ice walls, each layer exploding with a loud bang. The surrounding area filled with freezing mist and shattered rocks.

In this fierce battle, not only was the area devastated, but some nearby Elders also suffered collateral damage. The sky was scorched by Lin Jia's sword energy, while the snow around them was transformed into sharp ice spikes by Jiang Yun, attacking in all directions. Even ancient trees that had stood for centuries were felled by the Divine Lord's intense sword energy and Jiang Yun's ice power. The forest of the Misty Sacred Land was either frozen or cleaved in two, and some towers crumbled to the ground.

Both fighters continued without yielding. Jiang Yun leaped high into the air, wielding his spirit threads, directing them to attack the Divine Lord from all directions. The spirit threads shone with a brilliant blue light as they pierced through the air at high speed. The Divine Lord countered by spinning his sword in a circular motion, generating a massive wave of sword energy that collided with the spirit threads, making the earth seem as if it could explode at any moment.

The clash of powers caused a tremendous explosion. The ground shook violently as shards of rock and ice flew everywhere, some reaching nearby towns, forcing villagers to flee their homes in panic.

As the battle reached its climax, the Divine Lord was severely wounded. Jiang Yun's body was covered in scars from the Divine Lord's sword, while the Divine Lord bore deep wounds from the spirit thread attacks. However, Jiang Yun smiled faintly as his body slowly began to heal itself. He used his "Star Finger," directing it to strike the wounded areas of the Divine Lord with great speed, launching the power of 8,192 stars toward the Divine Lord.

The Divine Lord murmured, "A dual sacred body, is it? A stellar body and a sacred ice body... truly dangerous."

The Divine Lord tried to swing his sword to defend himself, but his sword was cut in half by the spirit threads. He laughed in pain as the spirit threads sliced through his body, severing him in two. Finally, the Divine Lord collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily. Jiang Yun stood over him, looking at the devastation and ruins left behind, as silence returned to the area once more.

The Divine Lord laughed, "You've won. Congratulations..."

At that moment, the Divine Lord grabbed Jiang Yun's leg and said, "Finger... Sword..."

The Emperor-level Dragon Sword, enlarged to a gigantic size, launched toward Jiang Yun from the sky, causing a massive explosion. Smoke spread across the entire area. When the smoke cleared, the Divine Lord laughed.

"Ha ha ha! It's as if I'm playing a joke. My fight was futile from the start, wasn't it, little boy?"

Jiang Yun, who was unharmed by the sword attack from the sky, replied, "I don't see what you're talking about."

The Divine Lord continued, disregarding Jiang Yun's comment, "The technique you practice requires spirit power to strike effectively. Even though I have some spirit power, it's not strong enough to hit you. This means your spirit power level is higher than mine. Such an incredible technique. And you tricked me with those wounds to make me believe I could hit you. Even if I used all my trump cards, I still couldn't defeat you. And you probably don't just have two sacred bodies, do you? You've made me look bad, you know. Oh well, just kill me already."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Kill you so you can bring in another clone? I'm not interested. Goodbye."

The Divine Lord asked, "Wait, little boy, may I have your technique for my granddaughter?"

Jiang Yun smiled, walked away, and said, "We can discuss the price in 8 months, but it might be quite expensive."

After that, Jiang Yun used a teleportation formation to leave immediately, and the Divine Lord was restored by the Elder Guardians.

Another Elder Guardian appeared and asked, "Should we follow them?"

The Divine Lord laughed, "No, you would only throw away your lives. That little boy is an Emperor-level, and with his intelligence and the numerous sacred bodies he is developing, it's only a matter of time before he reaches Immortal Emperor status. But why do I feel strangely familiar with this kid?"

Suddenly, the Divine Lord remembered something, "Send someone to check the resource vault quickly."

The Elder Guardian went and soon returned, looking alarmed, holding a letter.

"Bad news, sir. The resources, precious treasures, and other cultivation assets are all gone, but there is one letter left."

The Divine Lord laughed, "Ha ha ha! When was the last time I was defeated so completely that I couldn't fight back?"

"Well then,"

"Gather everyone. In 7 days, we will wage war."
