Chapter 823 Attempting To Pressure

Chapter 823  Attempting To Pressure 

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na's face were completely indifferent when faced with Empress Kui. Unlike many others, even the other Supreme Emperors, they can truly look on at Empress Kui without a trace of emotion.

Cain continues to say, "So, I suppose the Dao Gathering Event is starting now, right? Shall we get going?"

"Indeed we can." Empress Kui nodded. She actually had other thoughts in mind. But she held her tongue in the end. There was no point in trying to do anything else at the risk of annoying the trio.

"Follow me." Without another word, she began flying up into the sky.

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na calmly followed behind her.

The group flew through her faction and into a couple of transmission arrays. Nobody was alerted to their sudden leave. Thus, it was calming as the group prepared to leave the sect.

They were only seconds away from taking the last transmission arrays out of the sect.

But right at that moment, two supreme Dao auras rippled throughout the entire world.

Suppressive Dao principles crushed down all inferior forces in the universe.

A loud, booming voice rippling with power coursed within the area.

"Oh? What this? The famous rising stars are finally showing their faces?"

The suppressive Dao principles and restrictive aura forcibly slowed down Empress Kui's group.

Empress Kui would need to use her own Dao aura to forcibly shred through both sources of Dao aura. And that would only lead to more hostility. Something of which nobody in Empress Kui's group wanted to bother with.

'Tch.' Cain internally clicked his tongue. Chilling coldness glimmered within Kali's eyes. While even Luo Na knitted her brows.

Empress Kui's charming smile turned dull, without any warm emotions at all.

At that moment, two divine figures condensed several meters before the group.

One of them was a majestic King Grandmaster. He was a powerful late-stage genius, whose presence was suppressing the sky and the earth. Any strike of his divine lightning can cause other divine cultivators to feel hopeless despair.

Next to him was an unfathomable young man. A dragon amongst dragons that can crush any great planet if they ever so wished.

His cultivation was utterly unfathomable, completely transcending Primal Sovereign.

He was Supreme Emperor Hian.

When finally coming face to face, Emperor Hian and his King Grandmaster faintly smiled.

That look caused bad sensations to swirl through Empress Kui's soul. She calmly asked, "Hian, is there something you need from us?"

"Oh? Why would we need something?" Emperor Hian coldly chuckled. "We are all from the same sect, right? Can't I just come to say hello?"

His words seemed peaceful, but his voice turned more domineering subtly flowing out their Dao principles into the atmosphere.

with every passing second. He and the King Grandmaster was subtly flowing out their Dao principles into the atmosphere.

They were controlling everything. Beneath their Dao might, nobody could resist without an equal amount of unfathomable Dao power!

Naturally, Empress Kui didn't even bat an eye. But her faint smiling face finally lost all warmth.

Her gaze turned terrifyingly cold. As if the blink of her eyes could freeze over the stars.

The reason for her demeanor shift came from the trio behind.

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na similarly went ice cold. Their killing intent wasn't concealed in the slightest. Each of them experienced a great amount of pressure attempting to crush down on their shoulders!

This was a clear play of dominance from Emperor Hian. A move to attempt to shatter or at the very least cause a crack in the trio's confidence. Emperor Hian and his King Grandmaster only needed to breathe to fill the trio with pressure.

And to resist, it would only make sense for the trio to surge their own divine law power.

However, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na, no matter how calm and unwavering they were, their pride were still as high as the heavens!

Not a single one of them dared to show any weakness to a mere Supreme Emperor. A so-called genius they will inevitably pass sooner rather than later.

It took surging their threeway martial, astral, and soul energy throughout their bodies to properly resit the crushing pressure.

This alone cost a great amount of their soul energy. But in exchange, the trio's face didn't change at all. Nor did they need to exert any power of their divine auras to stay stable.

This moment was filled with several moves by both parties. But in reality, merely only a few seconds passed.

Emperor Hian's eyes brightened when seeing the trio still so calm. "Oh? Am I-"

"That is quite enough Hian." Empress Kui's frightening cold voice suppressed the world.

She released a sliver of her Dao aura, unleashing Dao principles that directly crushed the King Grandmaster's Dao aura.

That King Grandmaster's body shook. His face rapidly pale. For a moment, everything became colder than ice. The grim reaper blade was right on his neck!

At the same time, Empress Kui and Emperor Hian calmly matched gazes. Their Dao auras seemed completely equal on the surface.

One side could cause souls to freeze, to feel endless despair.

While the other could tear the high heavens asunder, crush great planets into dust, and break apart the stars.

Neither side would submit to the other. And neither wanted to bother anymore with this feud.

The Supreme Emperor and Empress recalled their Dao auras at the same time.

"Hmph!" Emperor Hian coldly sneered. He briefly flickered his gaze on the trio before staring Empress Kui straight in the eyes. "You three have high potential. Always watch out for insidious snakes!"

His words lingered within the atmosphere. Only Emperor Hian could make such an outrageous claim about Empress Kui without any consequences.

Emperor Hian didn't bother staying around longer. He and his King Grandmaster swiftly soared straight through the teleportation array.

Only then did Empress Kui gain back her soothing smile filled with a sunny warmth.

She calmly told the trio, "Just ignore that guy. Among us three, he's always the most brazen that prefers to act without any logical thought patterns."

"Mn." Cain, Kali, and Luo Na silently nodded. They could deny the claim that Emperor Hian was arrogant.

But at the same time, they were more than aware that this Empress Kui wasn't this saintess being many others are making her out to be.

She, like many other ambitious cultivators, has their own plans and pride. She is an uncertain odd that can strike at them at any second.

But the trio knows, at least for now, at a level under her, they wouldn't be bothered with troubles.

This Empress Kui was cunning enough to stay on their good side no matter the situation. Even if it means starting a possible troublesome conflict with another Supreme Emperor Grandmaster.

Of course, the trio didn't let any of their other emotions show on their faces. They silently followed Empress Kui behind.

As they entered the teleportation arrays, they deeply recorded that entire last moment in their souls.

...

The main city of the Ancestral Star Region was in an extreme state of hustle and bustle.

Faint Dao lights were glimmering across the starry sky. The atmosphere was infectious. These natural Dao sensations from all these high realm masters were enlightening to all these lower realm cultivators.

One would feel their very minds broadening underneath this atmosphere.

At this time, four great geniuses were slowly flying down toward this main city.

Empress Kui had her natural calming smile as she took in the majestic sight of the city.

While Cain, Kali, and Luo Na were intently studying the scenery around them.
