It was a voice so soft and inaudible as to be almost lost in the midst of the intense battle, but when w.a.n.g Chong heard it, he trembled in shock.

“Your Majesty!”

w.a.n.g Chong raised his head, his eyes scanning the air, as did w.a.n.g Chong’s three divine embryos.

Crack! Another black s.p.a.cetime fissure appeared, and as w.a.n.g Chong turned his attention to it, he glimpsed a yellow dragon robe for a split-second.

Li Heng!

w.a.n.g Chong’s brows creased as he recognized the robe.

Li Xuantu was incredibly strong, and Grotto Heaven realm experts could open s.p.a.cetime pa.s.sages wherever they pleased. In order to prevent others from taking Li Heng from him, Li Xuantu had concealed Li Heng in one of these s.p.a.cetime pa.s.sages.

In this way, not even w.a.n.g Chong could do anything.

But over the course of Li Xuantu and Genesis Supreme’s battle, one s.p.a.cetime fissure after another was being torn open through the battlefield, thus occasionally tearing open the s.p.a.cetime pa.s.sage in which Li Heng was hidden and giving Li Heng a brief opportunity.

“w.a.n.g Chong, listen to me!”

On the other side, noticing the four ‘w.a.n.g Chongs’ looking at him, Li Heng seemed to understand that w.a.n.g Chong had heard him and began to hurriedly speak.

“What I have to say next is extremely important!

“The Nine Heavens, Ten Earths, Three Emperors Formation beneath Taiji Palace hasn’t been destroyed at all!”

“What?!”

w.a.n.g Chong’s entire body s.h.i.+vered at this news.

“How could this be?!”

w.a.n.g Chong’s face was covered in shock and his mind was a sea of turmoil.

Li Xuantu was a member of the imperial household and a former Crown Prince, so he knew the Three Emperors Formation like the back of his hand. This was precisely why Genesis Supreme had sought him out.

…Even though Genesis Supreme had quickly set about dismantling the bridge after crossing the river.

Earlier, w.a.n.g Chong had seen with his own eyes Li Xuantu punch at the ground and destroy the Three Emperors Formation, the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain with it. But now, Li Heng was telling him that the formation wasn’t broken? w.a.n.g Chong’s first reaction was disbelief.

If the Three Emperors Formation wasn’t destroyed, why had the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain been broken?

What had Li Xuantu done with that punch?

That was just too unbelievable!

But w.a.n.g Chong also knew that a sovereign did not speak lightly. Li Heng had once been Crown Prince, and now he was the Emperor whose words were law within the realm, and he was also a benevolent soul. There was simply no way he would lie about something like this.

But Li Heng was only at the Saint Martial realm. How could he have seen something that w.a.n.g Chong had not?

Li Xuantu and Genesis Supreme continued their battle. With one punch, Genesis Supreme blasted Li Xuantu back more than one thousand feet. The immense force which pushed Li Xuantu made the air explode like a giant wave, sending shockwaves throughout the palace.

Li Xuantu sprang forward, unleas.h.i.+ng a terrifying wave of Sword Qi that traveled toward Genesis Supreme with inconceivable speed.

At this time, Li Heng spoke again.

“I don’t know what’s going on either, but I sense that there’s some Dragon Qi in the Three Emperors Formation that’s resonating with me. I don’t know how to describe it to you, but I am certain that the Three Emperors Formation has not been destroyed!”

Before Li Heng could finish, he grunted and vanished again.

“If you don’t want to die, be a little quieter for this prince!”

Li Xuantu coldly snorted, apparently sensing that Li Heng was up to something.

w.a.n.g Chong mentally trembled. He could tell that while Li Xuantu had sensed Li Heng was trying something, he did not know what exactly Li Heng had said.

Dragon Qi? The Three Emperors Formation contains the Dragon Qi of the Central Plains!

Li Heng’s words allowed w.a.n.g Chong to come upon a stunning revelation.

Even though Li Heng was weak, only at the Saint Martial realm, he was the master of the Central Plains, the Emperor of the Great Tang. The moment he inherited the throne, he had obtained the power of the Dragon Qi. If he was saying that the resonance of Dragon Qi indicated that the Three Emperors Formation was not destroyed, then it had to be the case.

Besides, what Li Heng said, if true, would also explain why only Emperors and their chosen heirs could control the Three Emperors Formation.

Li Heng was the Emperor, so it was only natural that he knew the truth behind the Three Emperors Formation.

As a former Crown Prince, Li Xuantu also knew how to control the formation.

Moreover, the Three Emperors Formation had a major connection to the ancient Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan. As it had been laid down by an Emperor, it made sense for it to contain Dragon Qi. This would explain why, for thousands of years, only the Emperors had ever been able to control the Three Emperors Formation, with others not even capable of interacting with it.

But why would Li Xuantu do such a thing?

And w.a.n.g Chong had seen him break the formation firsthand.

w.a.n.g Chong’s mind rapidly spun, and a few moments later, he understood.

There are only two possible reasons the formation wasn’t destroyed. The first is that Li Xuantu intentionally did not destroy the Three Emperors Formation so that he could trap Genesis Supreme, or perhaps he wanted to keep it around so that he could use it for himself once he took the throne.

The second possibility is that the Three Emperors Formation is far too powerful. Several thousand years of acc.u.mulation is impossible to destroy, and the formation was built by the Yellow Emperor himself, and it fused with the Dragon Qi of the Central Plains ages ago. It was already built with defenses to prevent its destruction. The users should only be capable of using it or shutting it off, not destroying it!

As violent streams of energy howled around him, w.a.n.g Chong continued to think.

For the first option, Li Xuantu was still a Crown Prince and extremely proud. He valued his word highly, and since he had agreed to help Genesis Supreme, he would not go back on his word and attempt to trap him.

This left only the second option.

It wasn’t that Li Xuantu didn’t want to destroy the formation, but that it couldn’t be destroyed. Li Xuantu had merely shut it off.

If the Nine Heavens, Ten Earths, Three Emperors Formation had been that easy to destroy, it would have been lost at some point in its several thousand years of history.

As w.a.n.g Chong pondered all of this, he realized that there was a chance.

Both Li Xuantu and Genesis Supreme are threats to the empire. If I want to change this situation, I have to get the dragon token representing the Emperor from Li Xuantu. Then, through Dragon Qi and the token, I can reactivate the formation!

An imperceptible light flashed in w.a.n.g Chong’s eyes.

w.a.n.g Chong did not have imperial blood, nor was he the Emperor of the Great Tang. In normal circ.u.mstances, he should not have had Dragon Qi, but he recalled how, during his clash with An Yaluoshan at the feast of all countries, some of the Dragon Qi An Yaluoshan had been stealing had ended up in his body.

In terms of Dragon Qi, w.a.n.g Chong naturally couldn’t compare to Li Xuantu, and certainly not Li Heng, but he truly did have a little.

If Dragon Qi was the key to opening up the Three Emperors Formation, then so long as he took back the token, he would have a minuscule chance of reactivating the formation.

And once it had the energy of the Three Emperors Formation, the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain would reactivate, upon which everything would change.

w.a.n.g Chong looked at Genesis Supreme with a completely different expression now.

I have to find a way to get back the dragon token and save Li Heng from Li Xuantu!

w.a.n.g Chong’s expression became resolved.

At this moment, a groan came from above, and then the battle between Genesis Supreme and Li Xuantu took a turn.

Bang!

Genesis Supreme spread apart his feet, his robes flapping around him as his body exuded a divine white light. As he looked down upon the world, he fiercely punched.

This one punch shattered all the pitch-black Halos of s.p.a.cetime around Li Xuantu, an enormous strength breaking through all barriers to slam into Li Xuantu’s chest.

Li Xuantu could no longer hold on, and he shot down from the heavens like a cannonball.

“Not good!”

w.a.n.g Chong was stunned. His plans could not keep up with the rapidly s.h.i.+fting situation.

Li Xuantu had clearly reached the end of his rope.

If Li Xuantu fell, the dragon token and Li Heng would fall into Genesis Supreme’s hands, leaving w.a.n.g Chong alone to fight against Genesis Supreme.

Genesis Supreme would defeat both of them, one after the other!

“Li Xuantu! In opposing us, you’re truly seeking death!”

As Li Xuantu plummeted from the skies, a bone-chilling voice came from Taiji Palace. Behind Li Xuantu, a figure appeared like a ghost, joining with Genesis Supreme to attack Li Xuantu from both sides.

The Tianfu Divine Lord!

w.a.n.g Chong’s pupils constricted.

Everyone had been completely focused on Li Xuantu and Genesis Supreme during this battle. As for the Tianfu Divine Lord, he had been a spectator for so long that even w.a.n.g Chong had stopped paying him much attention.

But the Tianfu Divine Lord had not been as much of a bystander as he appeared. He had been seeking an opportunity this entire time, and he now seized it to attack Li Xuantu.

In the past, the Tianfu Divine Lord would have been far too weak to do anything to Li Xuantu. But Li Xuantu was now badly injured and completely suppressed by Genesis Supreme. A sudden attack from the Tianfu Divine Lord at a time like this was unquestionably lethal.

I can’t let him succeed!

w.a.n.g Chong’s expression turned grave.

Whoos.h.!.+

A gust of wind blew past, and at that very moment, w.a.n.g Chong and his three divine embryos disappeared.
