As the me Celestial Sovereign charged forward, Tang Jie stopped not far from him andughed. "Long time no see. Have you been doing well, Immortal Sovereign?"


    The me Celestial Sovereign stared at Tang Jie, a sense of bitterness in his heart.


    Once, Tang Jie had been a mere ant in his eyes, but he had already grown so much.


    The immense gap naturally left him feeling unpleasant.


    Besides difort, there was also some fear.


    Fear of Tang Jie''s strength.


    Both Origin Defender and Jade Truth had died at his hands. Tang Jie had already proved that he could challenge and defeat Earth Immortals.


    He had been forced toe here by the two sects, and while he hated Tang Jie, he also wasn''t on friendly terms with the other side. With Tang Jie seemingly getting stronger and stronger, with perhaps still more cards yet to y, he had no will to fight. Thus, he shouted, "Tang Jie, there''s no big grudge between us. While I sold you out to Blood River, you looted my treasury in return, and at the end of it, I ended up losing more. Why should we be enemies? This business is between you and those two sects, nothing to do with me. I''m willing to let the matter drop. What say you?"


    He was making a peace offer.Tang Jie smiled. "Immortal Sovereign, you wish to talk peace? That''s wonderful. But I recall you chasing me rather diligently back in the court. How should we calcte the losses I suffered with all those divine treasures?"


    The me Celestial Sovereign could tell what he was going for, and he grunted, "Tang Jie, you still haven''t won yet, so don''t get too cocky."


    "All right." Tang Jie pped his hands. "This is where the problem lies. As Immortal Sovereign says, I still haven''t won, so you''re still putting on airs. Even if you want to withdraw, you have no ns on paying any sort of price. But I worry that if we talk about peace after the battle, you won''t have the right to talk anymore."


    He looked around and said, "I''m fighting you guys here not because I''m trying to avoid all of you, but because I want to ascend to Immortal tform, which means I need to expand the Yellow Court World. The best way to do this is to have a few Earth Immortals serve as fertilizer. Thus, to me, Immortal Sovereign, you represent a small fortune."


    The me Celestial Sovereign paled. He had never expected Tang Jie to be this ambitious.


    Moreover, Tang Jie wasn''t lying. This had been his n from the start, so for him, a dead me Celestial Sovereign was more valuable than a surrendered one.


    The me Celestial Sovereign panicked. "Tang Jie, Mou Siming and Flowing Wind aren''t that easy to deal with. Fighting with me might create some variables that will cause those pretty girls of yours to lose their lives. That wouldn''t be worth it at all."


    "That might not be the case," Tang Jie replied.


    As he spoke, in the distance, Yiyi suddenly took out the crown that had been taken from the me Celestial Sovereign. This item was a natural Dao armament that could be used even when one wasn''t at Immortal tform. Tang Jie had given Xu Miaoran the Bejeweled Star Lord''s arm, and he had given Yiyi the crown. It was just that Yiyi had been hiding using the formation rather than fighting out in the open, so she had had no opportunity to use it. When danger hade, she hadn''t had time, and it was Deng Yuqing who had saved her, and to die for Yiyi was something Deng Yuqing had been willing and wishing for. And now that she had taken out the crown, she could actually go toe-to-toe with Mou Siming''s Starshatter Ring. Meanwhile, the Mother Cloudbat puppet and the Vermillion Bird, two half-step Earth Immortals, attacked from the sides. Xu Miaoran helped everyone with various medicines while He Chong and Duan Fourth controlled the formations. Only Ice Phoenix continued to act aloof, watching the battle with folded arms.


    Tang Jie said, "Thus, if the oue were that hard to determine, Immortal Sovereign wouldn''t be wasting all this time chatting with me. In the end, youck confidence in your victory. If you really don''t want to be fertilizer for my small world, then I have a suggestion. You hand over your Origin me and help me kill those other two. Although I could do it without you, I''d like to conserve whatever strength I can."


    Despair appeared on the me Celestial Sovereign''s face.


    He had refined his Origin me by traveling across the myriad domains and collecting exotic mes, so handing it over to Tang Jie wasn''t a decision that came easily.


    But if he didn''t agree, he would die, and the Five Origins Estate was closed off, so he would find it very difficult to leave unless Tang Jie let him. The me Celestial Sovereign finally understood why Tang Jie had chosen to fight here—not just for the formations, but because this ce prevented them from escaping. Meanwhile, Tang Jie could leave whenever he wanted.


    In the end, their arrogance had caused them to underestimate their foe.


    The me Celestial Sovereign inwardly cursed, but s, he still had to face reality.


    As he was considering his answer, the old dragon''s cry for help came from the distance.


    He turned and saw the Genesis Cloud strangling the dragon.


    Hope appeared in the me Celestial Sovereign''s eyes, while Tang Jie sighed.


    He knew that the dragon''s ipetence had ruined his n to make his opponent surrender without a fight. Flowing Wind gaining the upper hand had made the me Celestial Sovereign believe that he could fight back.


    Thus, they would still have to fight.


    "Actually, this dragon was never a part of my ns, but even if I told you that I still had a hundred different ways to kill you, you wouldn''t believe me.


    "That being the case, we can only fight."


    The me Celestial Sovereign unleashed his Origin me at Tang Jie.


    As he had almost sold out Flowing Wind earlier, he went all-out in his attack, and his Origin me was much stronger than Tang Jie''s, setting the heavens aze.


    Not daring to be careless, Tang Jie threw out the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace, which fired off its divine beam to resist the Origin me.


    Through his repeated temperings, the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace had grown stronger and stronger, and the power of its 108 divine treasures was now enough to hold back the Origin mes. Tang Jie then swung his sword.


    A wave of sword energy surged toward the me Celestial Sovereign.


    The me Celestial Sovereign waved his hand, sending a ball of Origin me to counter it. But the Sovereign de sliced right through it as if it didn''t exist. The me Celestial Sovereign didn''t dare to take this sword directly, so he immediately fled. However, his escape art was no match for Nearby Horizon, and Tang Jie simply blinked over to intercept him and once more swung his sword.


    There was a shriek as the streak of me was sliced in two and then came together again, reforming into the me Celestial Sovereign.


    "You!" The me Celestial Sovereign roared, but before he could finish, Tang Jie chopped his sword, threw a punch, and then unleashed a waterfall of phantom swords.


    He needed to finish his opponent before the old dragon met his limit, so he attacked with all his might.


    The me Celestial Sovereign was weaker than Tang Jie already, and he had been further exhausted in the Miniaturization Formation, so the surge of the Skyrend Swordfall and a blow from the Ten Extinctions de swiftly took one of his lives.


    As the me Celestial Sovereign reformed, he cried out, "Tang Jie, stop! We can talk things out!"


    "Fine—hand over your Origin me and be my ve for five hundred years."


    "You''re raising the price?"


    "Of course!" Tang Jie snorted. "You think you have the right to negotiate when you''re under siege? If you die one more time, I''ll add another five hundred years. At 2500 years, you need to hand over your Divine Soul. And if you lose ten lives… there''s no more adding, for all your cultivation will be part of my Yellow Court World. So please, continue with your hesitation!"


    The me Celestial Sovereign was shocked and enraged, yet he still couldn''t ept being a ve for five hundred years. At this time, Flowing Wind managed to kill the dragon once, which made the me Celestial Sovereign think that if he held on, Flowing Wind could kill the dragon before he was killed by Tang Jie.


    His hesitation slowed his reaction, and Tang Jie unleashed another salvo,bining spell arts and Dao Arts before mincing up the me Celestial Sovereign into ground meat.


    Now it was a thousand years of very.
