Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 617 - 610: Immortal Emperor’s Eye Battles Emperor Ziwei

Chapter 617 -610: Immortal Emperor’s Eye Battles Emperor Ziwei

Emperor Ziwei stared at Zhu Xi, not uttering a word. His gaze was so indifferent, as the murky void fell silent, a suffocating atmosphere spreading to its extremities.

Zhu Xi felt the aura of the Thief of the Profound Mystique completely vanish, and her heart rose to her throat.

Before her death, the Thief of the Profound Mystique had revealed this person’s true identity.

Emperor Ziwei!

The master of that terrifying dojo from earlier!

She knew what being called an emperor represented. She was chasing that very path, but the journey to become a Daoist Emperor was incredibly arduous. Those who could claim the title were all possessed of unsurpassed destiny and peerless talent.

A fully accomplished Daoist Emperor was even more terrifying, possessing the ability to not fear the Immortal Gods!

“Who taught you the Daoist Unique Venerate Skill?” asked Emperor Ziwei, his voice icy cold, an endless tide of killing intent overwhelming Zhu Xi.

Without control, Zhu Xi blurted out four words, “Immortal Seeker…”

Having spoken, her heart was thrown into turmoil.

What was going on?

Why couldn’t she restrain herself from speaking the truth?

Emperor Ziwei narrowed his eyes, murmuring to himself, “It’s him, as unsettled as ever.”

He continued asking Zhu Xi, “Besides him, do you have another master? What is his name?”

He could sense that the Immortal Seeker’s influence on Zhu Xi wasn’t significant, and Zhu Xi was burdened with even greater karma.

Zhu Xi’s complexion changed dramatically. She opened her mouth, trying with all her might to suppress the urge to speak, but she couldn’t hold it back.

“Yes, he is Gu…”

Zhu Xi’s voice suddenly stopped, as she felt the bindings around her disappear. She reacted swiftly, turning to flee.

Her speed was incredible, covering an immense distance in the blink of an eye. However, no matter where she flew in the void, the surroundings looked extremely similar as if she hadn’t moved at all.

Emperor Ziwei didn’t chase after Zhu Xi but frowned in the direction of her escape.

He lifted his right hand, his robe billowing, and the entire void changed color.

Zhu Xi, fleeing at full speed, seemed to sense something. She turned her head, her eyes widening in shock.

Behind her in the void emerged eighteen enormous draconic shadows, as if occupying the whole space, full of visual impact. They writhed freely, baring fangs and claws, appearing shockingly terrifying.

Zhu Xi stopped, not because she didn’t want to escape, but because the space around her suddenly solidified, rendering her unable to move.

What was most terrifying was an invisible force compelling her to turn around, as if a hand was seizing her, spinning her back.

The Zhu Xi of the Profound Yuan Free Immortal Realm had no way to resist this power.

Despair filled her eyes.

The gap was too great; so vast she couldn’t use any Secret Techniques or Divine Skills.

As the eighteen dreadful draconic shadows closed in, Zhu Xi wanted to end her own life but found she was unable to do so.

“Since you want to protect her, why not show yourself?” spoke Emperor Ziwei, causing Zhu Xi to be astonished.

Someone was protecting her?

Was it possible that her earlier escape wasn’t because Emperor Ziwei was distracted, but that another force was secretly aiding her?

She struggled to turn her head to see what lay behind her.

In the corner of her eye, the void remained pitch black, like the Abyss, invisible to sight.

The more this was true, the more uneasy Zhu Xi became.

She was very clear about her own past; what possible backing could she have that could contend with Emperor Ziwei? She felt it was more likely that another terrifying being was maneuvering her.

Having left the Celestial Spirit Great World for tens of thousands of years, she indeed had been involved in many karmic consequences which she didn’t fully understand.

Zhu Xi looked back at Emperor Ziwei, her gaze no longer filled with despair but returning to her usual calmness.

If worst came to worst, she would die.

“Immortal Emperor’s Eye? Truly a rarity, no wonder you want to protect her.”

Emperor Ziwei’s voice rang out once again, his voice becoming even colder, and the eighteen enormous dragon shadows that twisted at will also stopped in their tracks.

Hearing this, Zhu Xi turned her head to look again, and this time, her pupils involuntarily dilated.

She saw a pair of eyes!

A pair of spectacular and terrifying eyes, the visual impact of which was no less than that of Emperor Ziwei’s eighteen dragon shadows.

In these eyes shone dark purple pupils, eerie and mysterious. The eyes were so vast, like the eyes of the universe, that they made An Xin’s soul tremble.

What kind of eyes were these?

Zhu Xi could not imagine the realm of the owner of these eyes.

“Although this mortal body isn’t very powerful, if you want to save her from my grasp, let’s see just how capable you are?”

Emperor Ziwei’s voice came from the depths of the void, and as his words ended, the eighteen giant dragon shadows moved.

They moved like thunder, and the entire void seemed to shatter all at once. The Dao Rules stirred up a strong wind that rushed at Zhu Xi, forcing her to close her eyes instinctively, her body and mind in extreme discomfort.

At this moment, she felt like a drowning mortal, in pain, suffering, terrified, yet powerless, only able to endure this kind of torture.

Fortunately, the torture came suddenly and left just as quickly.

The wild force assaulting Zhu Xi disappeared in an instant, and she then felt a warm power enveloping her.

Snap!

Her shoulder was suddenly patted, startling her into opening her eyes.

A new light shone in her eyes as she saw the once invincible dragon shadows starting to obliterate as if being burned by an invisible fire.

This scene filled her with surprise. She instinctively turned her head to look but saw no one else.

The feeling of her shoulder being patted seemed to have been an illusion.

However, those mysterious giant eyes known as the Immortal Emperor’s Eyes remained. They were so calm, silently watching Emperor Ziwei’s dragon shadows become undone.

Looking at the Immortal Emperor’s Eyes again, Zhu Xi unexpectedly felt a sense of familiarity.

It seemed she had seen these eyes somewhere before.

Wait!

Could it be…

Zhu Xi’s eyes widened with excitement, her body trembling uncontrollably.

It was her mentor!

Long ago in the Celestial Spirit Great World, she had never been able to see through Gu An’s cultivation level. She had always thought her mentor came from another Great Thousand World, but she could never have imagined her mentor was so powerful, and moreover, that he could come to rescue her.

An immense surprise overwhelmed her, making her feel as though she was in a dream.

Until the dragon shadows vanished, Emperor Ziwei’s voice did not rise again.

Zhu Xi didn’t understand what had happened, but it was clear that her mentor had won.

“Run away, continue chasing the Path of the Great Dao.”

Gu An’s voice entered Zhu Xi’s ears, rousing her, and she immediately flew towards the Immortal Emperor’s Eyes.

Along the way, the view was dazzling, with star nebulae surging like dragons, the scenery before her eyes enchanting.

Zhu Xi found that even flying at full speed, she still couldn’t get close to the Immortal Emperor’s Eyes.

The distance between them seemed eternally insurmountable.

She didn’t feel lost; instead, she felt her mentor was guiding her.

Looking at the majestic Immortal Emperor’s Eyes in the distance, Zhu Xi’s eyes were filled with longing.

How many years would she need to cultivate to reach such a realm?

Meanwhile.

Far away at Human World Peak, Gu An stood at the edge of a cliff, gazing at the horizon, his eyes reflecting the image of Zhu Xi.
