The God Emperor retreated quickly, and the hidden clan member pursued even faster. He grabbed the other party's collar with his palm, and chose to self-destruct at the first possible moment.
Not only did the powerful explosion cause the God Emperor to die, it also affected the people around him. Over ten Saint Rulers had been killed, and there were also countless below Saint Rulers.
There was no helping it, that hidden clan member was clearly not weak and was also a Divine Emperor level powerhouse. If a person at this level self-destructs, even if they were prepared, they would still be heavily injured, not to mention those who were unprepared.
It was not only the hidden clansmen that participated in the attack, the Underworld Gate had demonstrated its powerful strength for the first time.
During the chaos of war, no one could care about who they were fighting. However, some experts soon discovered that something was off. Within the Divine Veins Alliance, they actually began to kill each other.
"What's going on? Are you crazy? Stop it right now. " Several Divine Emperors flew over, wanting to stop them. However, they were met with frantic attacks from those around them.
"It's the spirit race. Half of them are to be eliminated by the God Emperor."
The old Divine Emperor's expression was extremely gloomy. His eyes stared fiercely at the sky above him. It was unknown when a large flock of birds had arrived, but each of them had a figure on their back.
This was the spirit race, and they were born with the ability to control spirit creatures. What was even more frightening was that not only could the Spirit Race control spirit beasts, they could also control a person's soul.
They only cultivated in the realm, so their cultivation wasn't too high. But even if you were a Divine Emperor, as long as your cultivation was inferior to theirs, then you wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being controlled.
During the Ancient Era, whether it was the hidden tribes or the Spirit Race, they had been dominant for a long time, especially the Spirit Race. They controlled countless puppets, and during their prime, it was said that even Zhi Zun was used as an instrument by them.
These two heaven-defying races were attacked by the God Realm in the Ancient Era, and they had to pay a huge price to eliminate them.
In terms of threat, these two clansmen were even more powerful than the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan. No wonder that woman kept saying that the Underworld Sect wasn't afraid of the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan.
With these two clansmen supporting them, none of the aristocratic families would be able to fight against them. Even if it was an alliance, they would still have to pay a huge price.
However, he didn't know how many people from these two races were still alive in this world. What made Lei Ao even more curious was how the Underworld Sect managed to subdue these two heaven-defying races.
But that wasn't important anymore. The war had already begun, and at the same time that the God Emperor was dispatched to stop the Spirit Race, Lei Ao's men also began to take action.
Although the Gates of Hell were strong, it was impossible to suppress the Mysterious God Alliance. Even if they had to drag it out for another six hours, it would be difficult for them to do so. The others couldn't sit idly by and started to join in the battle.
Aside from the five people who had previously decided to conserve their strength, the rest of the people all threw themselves into the air to support the Spirit Race.
For the sake of time, Lei Ao had lent the beast shield to him, while Lan Hai Tong had also lent the North Pole to Yi Zhen.
They were only there as reinforcements. They were responsible for disturbing the enemy, and the real fighters were the experts from the eight great families.
At this moment, they no longer hid their figures and appeared one by one. There were actually more than two hundred of them.
There were seventeen of them, while the rest were all Saint Rulers.
As Chen Chuyun had said, the eight noble clans and the Underworld Sect all bet their hopes on this battle. They had endured for so many years.
If they win, the eight noble families would no longer need to hide. If they lose, the God Realm would no longer have a place for them.
"Seniors, what we need to do is stall for time, there's no need to clash with them head on." Yizhen greeted the people from the eight great families.
"Since you have a plan, we will certainly cooperate to the best of our abilities." One of the peak God Emperor experts nodded. With a wave of his hand, all the Saint Ruler disciples pounced onto the battlefield below, searching for their opponents.
The situation was already out of their control. What caused the Divine Veins Alliance to cough up blood the most was that the battle had just begun. The demon and demon forces actually all backed out of the circle, clearly not wanting to interfere.
The old Divine Emperor in the alliance slowly walked towards Lei Ao with a dark face.
"Hmph, are you unable to hold back any longer?" Lei Ao sneered as he took a step forward.
"Lei Ao, be careful. Why don't you bring the beast shield back?" Huang Xin said worriedly.
"No need, he can't do anything to me."
Lei Ao and the old man faced each other in the air; the distance between them was less than 10 feet.
"I never thought that you would actually be able to obtain the support of the Underworld Sect. This old man has miscalculated."
"You haven't thought of many things. Not only will you fail to calculate, you'll also fail."
"Hahaha, do you think that those people from the Underworld Sect can go against tens of thousands of my people? Don't even dream about it. Even if you just stand there, they'll still be able to kill you until your hands give up. "
The Divine Emperor laughed, his tone arrogant.
"If not for the fear in your heart, why are you so anxious to get close to me?" Lei Ao's words hit the opponent's weak spot.
"Heh, I only felt an itch and wanted to find someone to spar with."
"My hands are itchy. I think my body is itchy. Are you looking for a beating?"
"As long as you have the ability, this old man has nothing to say." The old Divine Emperor began to increase his own cultivation, his aura slowly pressing down on Lei Ao.
"Then, I'll reluctantly have a warm-up battle." Lei Ao failed to draw a line from his imitations, and he executed a series of exquisite saber techniques as he attacked in an endless stream.
"This level of attack is completely useless against me." The old man flicked his finger, and gusts of wind shot out. Lei Ao's blade actually didn't even get a chance to approach him.
Next, the old man pressed his palm down on the void. Wherever the invisible palm power passed by, space collapsed.
The old fellow had used a strength at the peak of the Divine Emperor realm. What was this old fellow trying to do? Lei Ao explosively retreated. He released a star chart to reduce the opponent's attack by half and then used the Sky Shattering Palm Seal to meet it head on.
After this exchange, the elder did not continue to attack. Instead, he stood in the air with a puzzled expression on his face.
Seeing that he wasn't going to fight, Lei Ao was overjoyed.
After a long while, the God Emperor let out a light breath and sighed, "This old man seems to have seen this strange move before, but it was too long ago and my memories were very vague."
Lei Ao sneered and said, "That's easy. I might be able to remember after a few punches."
"This old man has this intention, but I wonder if you have the ability." The old man was not angry. Instead, he assumed a fighting stance and relied on Lei Ao to attack him.
"Do you think I'm an idiot? You clearly know that you want to find out who I am, but you still reveal your trump card to you? " Lei Ao couldn't control his blade well, so he once again used his blade style.
"Since that's the case, I can only bully the weak." The old man's energy surged, pushing Lei Ao back and pressing down on him with his palm.
"Ha, Sky Thunder Sky Falling Hand!"
This time, Lei Ao didn't use the star map. Instead, he drew out a portion of the power of thunder from his small world and combined it with the Sky Shattering Palm.
With a bang, the old man clearly did not expect Lei Ao to dare to block his attack. Caught off guard, the two were sent flying far away.
"Heh heh, old fellow, you still lack a little bit to see my trump card."
Lei Ao wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. This exchange of blows was obviously a bit of a loss for him. Even though he had burnt his Divine Veins, he still hadn't reached the peak of the Divine Emperor realm.
Fortunately, his body was tough enough, otherwise this attack alone would have been enough to heavily injure him.
"Your body can actually hold lightning?" The old man shook his numb hands, and his eyes shone with surprise.
Lei Ao said, "Don't think that isolating the lightning pool is equivalent to weakening me. There are a lot more things you can't imagine."
"Humph, even if you didn't isolate the lightning pool, you still wouldn't be this old man's match."
The old Divine Emperor was tired of this sort of probing. In the blink of an eye, his aura surged once more, surpassing the peak of the Divine Emperor realm.
"How is this possible ?"
Lei Ao retreated in shock. Although he had overestimated his opponent's strength, he had never expected that he would actually be a Martial Saint.
It wasn't a supreme divine weapon, but a solid Martial Saint. Just that aura alone made it hard for Lei Ao to breathe.
Damn it, with a Martial Saint on their side, how could they continue fighting?
Looking around, the old man's transformation caused the two sides to temporarily stop fighting. The morale of the Divine Veins Alliance rose greatly, while the Hell sect and the eight great clans all felt a sense of despair spreading rapidly.
This won't do. If this goes on, he will lose for sure. He must think of a way to suppress him.
Lei Ao steeled his heart. He had awakened his own source energy in advance, and lost his combat strength. After six hours, there were only four people left. He didn't know if he could turn the situation around.
"That's more like it. You have the qualifications to be my opponent." Seeing that Lei Ao had broken free from his aura, the old man sighed in praise.
