If these Paragon-level powerhouses had been scattered, Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress could only have taken them down one by one. But now that they were all gathered together, the situation was completely different.
Ye Wushuang’s flames directly engulfed them—the scorching inferno caused many of them to scream in agony.
They wanted to dodge, but they were packed too closely together, leaving them with no room to evade. All they could do now was huddle as a group and passively endure the onslaught.
Whether it was the flames or the sword intent, both came crashing down upon them.
Of course, this was the downside of clustering together—but there was also an upside.
Even though they were surrounded by fire, attacking Ye Wushuang and the others had become simpler. Especially since Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress had already appeared right before them, well within their attack range. In an instant, their attacks covered both Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress.
“Kill! Kill them! Make them die!!”
“Damn it—do they really think they can take us all out? They’re delusional!!”
“Just two cultivators at the Immortal Emperor realm, and they dare to challenge over twenty Paragon-level powerhouses? Today, we’ll show them exactly who they’re messing with!”
The Paragon-level cultivators from the Yemo Heavenly Universe were dead set on their goal—they were determined to teach Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress a brutal lesson.
That was why their eyes burned with ruthless intent. They had to annihilate Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress.
Even though Ye Wushuang’s flames had already seared their flesh, even though the Divine Dragon Empress’s sword intent had washed over them, they didn’t change their course of action one bit.
And this stubbornness, naturally, caused massive trouble for Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress.
If they could use the power of laws, if they could activate the “All-Character Secret,” killing these people would have been a walk in the park for them. Even if twenty Paragon-level powerhouses were gathered together, they could have wiped them out in minutes.
But at this moment, Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress were unwilling to reveal their true identities. They didn’t want to be prematurely drawn into a war among the supreme powerhouses.
That was why, when faced with so many attacks from Paragon-level cultivators, they chose to evade.
This evasion, of course, meant their own powerful assault was abruptly cut off.
Fortunately, their earlier attacks had already been devastating enough—Ye Wushuang’s flames had already taken hold on those Paragon-level powerhouses. As for the Divine Dragon Empress’s sword intent, it had sliced down two Paragon-level cultivators on the spot.
This turn of events was something no one from the Yemo Heavenly Universe had anticipated.
They hadn’t expected that, under these circumstances, Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress could still score kills.
Even when they outnumbered and out-powered their opponents, they still couldn’t do a thing to Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress.
To them, this was a humiliation in itself. Many of them were already seething with rage and shame.
“Die! Just die! They have to die!!”
Ye Wushuang’s flames were already scorching their bodies. That burning sensation made many of them acutely aware of the danger they were in.
At this point, if they couldn’t put an end to Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress, then they would be the ones to suffer. They might even end up dead at the hands of those two.
Under such pressure, they could no longer hold back their fury.
They launched relentless attacks at Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress, giving them no room to catch their breath.
These wild attacks also ended up hurting many of their own, dragging even more people into the crossfire.
At the same time, the commotion drew the attention of more cultivators from the Yemo Heavenly Universe.
They all saw the scene—over twenty Paragon-level powerhouses going head-to-head with two Immortal Emperor cultivators. It was utterly beyond their expectations.
Naturally, many eyes were fixed on this battle. They wanted to know what was going on.
And once their gazes landed here, they were stunned to discover just how terrifyingly powerful those two Immortal Emperors really were.
Most striking of all was their speed—unmatched by anyone else.
Their incredible evasive maneuvers left many spectators utterly dumbfounded.
Many of them prided themselves on being fairly capable among Paragon-level cultivators. But if they had to dodge those attacks, they knew they couldn’t move nearly as fast. And if they had to face so many Paragon-level powerhouses at once, they’d probably already be dead.
That was why so many of them couldn’t help but gasp in awe.
“Prodigies—these two are absolute prodigies from the Tianyuan Universe!”
“Hiss! That dodging speed is insane—fast enough that I’d almost think they’ve grasped the Laws of Speed. But I’ve never heard of anyone actually mastering those laws!”
“They probably haven’t mastered them yet, but judging by their speed, they’re close. If these two ever fully grow, they’ll be terrifying. Our attacks wouldn’t even be able to touch them!”
They had already recognized just how formidable Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress were.
Right now, they were only at the Immortal Emperor realm—yet they could actually evade attacks from Paragon-level powerhouses. Once they broke through to the Paragon level themselves, would any other Paragon-level cultivator stand a chance against them?
The answer was clearly no.
And so, more and more attention converged on this battlefield. Everyone wanted to see whether their own Paragon-level powerhouses could kill these two Immortal Emperor cultivators.
And just as all eyes turned toward them, Ye Wushuang made his move.
In an instant, he intensified the flames on those cultivators, making the fire burn even more fiercely.
In that moment, the Paragon-level powerhouses were turned into living torches.
Once they became human fireballs, their mindsets completely shifted.
Before being engulfed, they still thought they had a chance to kill Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress, and maybe even extinguish the flames on themselves.
But now that they were ablaze, only fear remained in their hearts.
They had seen far too many people burned to death by fire—and that dread had taken total control of their minds.
Many of them were already screaming in terror.
“No! I don’t want to die! Please, save me!!”
“Don’t burn me—please, don’t burn me to death! I don’t want to die!!”
“Save me! Someone save me!!”
Every single one of them, without exception, was now crying out frantically for help.
