Chapter 117: Humanity’s Calamity—Heaven and Earth Weep; Alone Against the Boundless Cosmos, Nothing Remains but the Void

Sensing the thick sarcasm in these words, Ji Haoyue’s face darkened. He spoke in a deep, stern voice, "Who dares to insult the Ji family? Show yourself!" As he spoke, an boundless aura emanated from him. Behind him, the faint vision of a vast ocean and a bright moon emerged, making him appear for a moment like a descending God King.

The members of the Ji family standing beside Ji Haoyue immediately felt their bodies suppressed, unable to move. Their own cultivation seemed to be countered by the vision behind Ji Haoyue, making it difficult to exert their full strength.

Seeing this, those following Ji Haoyue were struck with immense shock. The man in armor, his eyes bright, exclaimed, "The Moon Rising over the Sea! The vision of a God King body."

Although everyone had heard that every divine body possessed world-shaking power, and that their manifestation was accompanied by such visions, none of them had ever witnessed it in person.

Though Ji Haoyue had not yet fully unleashed his vision, he had already made everyone feel the might of a divine body. At this moment, Ji Haoyue seemed like a celestial being descended to the mortal realm, making one feel an irrepressible urge to prostrate before him.

"When the emperors of the Undying Mountain stir, the gods beyond the heavens struggle to contend. With the human race in calamity, the Yellow Earth weeps; battling the universe alone, only the Void remains!" As the voice echoed, two figures appeared before the crowd.

Everyone focused their gaze and saw that the newcomers were two women—one dressed in white, the other in green.

The woman in green was the very person who had brought them there, and she now stood respectfully behind the woman in white.

The woman in white wore a white veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes, which looked calmly at the crowd. Clearly, she was the master the green-clad woman had spoken of.

"Unthinkable! The Void Emperor fought for the human race his entire life, sparing no effort to shed his blood in the forbidden lands, and in the end, he sacrificed his life in the stars so as not to implicate the human race! Yet, his descendants now seek to wipe out entire families at the mere suspicion of stolen techniques! Impressive! Truly impressive!" the woman in white said with mocking eyes.

Ji Haoyue, whose expression had softened slightly upon hearing the praise for the Void Emperor, was consumed by rage at the woman's sarcasm. Nevertheless, he kept his face calm and replied, "The Great Emperor’s life was a credit to the human race! But his legacy cannot fall into the hands of the base and small-minded. If you truly have stolen the Void Technique, then you are enemies of our Void lineage, and we shall not rest until one side is destroyed!"

Hearing Ji Haoyue’s arrogant words, the green-clad woman behind the lady in white grew unhappy. She stepped forward, curling her lip, and said, "As if we would need to steal your so-called Void Technique. You think far too highly of yourselves. My master’s magic is divine; why would she need to learn your tricks? Hmph!" She finished with a look of utter disdain.

The green-clad woman was Liu Yiyi, who had come from Earth, and the woman in white was her master, Chen Mi.

Liu Yiyi was incensed at the accusation that her master had stolen scriptures. In her heart, her master was a celestial being; how could she possibly stoop to stealing from others?

Ji Haoyue was furious at her words, his calm composure finally shattered. In his heart, the Void Emperor was an invincible existence, and any who blasphemed against him were unforgivable!

The God body of the Ji family stared gloomily at Liu Yiyi. "The Great Emperor bestowed great merit upon heaven and earth! How dare you blaspheme him so! If you do not give the Ji family an account today, we will not let this matter rest!" He shot a cold, piercing glare at Liu Yiyi.

"Such a big mouth! It seems you so-called noble families are indeed used to being arrogant and overbearing, having forgotten the teachings of your ancestors. Today, I shall help the Void lineage teach you a lesson. I trust your elders will have no objections?" Chen Mi said indifferently.

Seeing that these two women were each more arrogant than the last, Ji Haoyue laughed in his anger. He stepped forward and said, "In that case, I invite the two ladies to offer their instruction!"

With that, the vision of the moon rising over the sea appeared behind him. He dared not be careless; the woman in white gave him a feeling of unfathomable depth. Not knowing her true level of cultivation, Ji Haoyue prepared to strike with his full strength.

Chen Mi chuckled lightly upon seeing this. She turned to Liu Yiyi and said, "As for this little one, it would be inappropriate for me to strike, lest I be mocked for bullying a junior. You shall take my place in this battle. Are you willing?"

As a Master of the Chaos Great Dao of a vast universe, Chen Mi felt it beneath her to bully someone who appeared to be only in his twenties. Though Liu Yiyi had only recently begun her cultivation, with Chen Mi at her side, it was impossible for her to lose.

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi was stunned. She whispered, "Master! I have only been training for such a short time; I fear I am no match for him!"

Chen Mi smiled slightly and touched her fingertip to Liu Yiyi’s brow. Instantly, Liu Yiyi felt a surge of warmth enter her forehead and spread throughout her limbs and bones.

In a heartbeat, she felt as if her relatively shallow cultivation had traversed countless realms, reaching a level she dared not imagine!

Confidence surging, Liu Yiyi stepped forward and said, "Then I shall take my master’s place to teach you a lesson, so you don't grow up to be so arrogant!"

Seeing someone who had only just begun her cultivation dare to boast about teaching him a lesson, Ji Haoyue couldn't even be bothered to speak. Instantly, his vision of the moon rising over the sea enveloped the entire arena!

Liu Yiyi, having never fought anyone before, was at a loss when faced with such overwhelming pressure!

Seeing this, Chen Mi shook her head and pushed her into the fray.

Seeing Liu Yiyi enter the arena, Ji Haoyue did not speak. With a wave of his palm, he threw a punch amplified by his divine vision, slamming it into her stumbling figure.

"Bang!" With a dull thud, Liu Yiyi, unable to dodge in time, took the blow squarely.

Liu Yiyi stood dazed, frantically checking her body, only to find that she had not suffered the slightest injury, nor did she feel the pain she had expected! She was overjoyed.

Witnessing this incredible scene, Ji Haoyue and the entire Ji family were left dumbfounded, rooted to the spot.

Ji Haoyue, who prided himself on being a God King body, could not have imagined that his full-force strike would fail to cause the slightest harm to anyone.

Liu Yiyi, on the other hand, was the first to react. Realizing that the opponent could not hurt her, she was overjoyed. She clenched her fist and smashed it into Ji Haoyue’s face!

"Bang!" Taken off guard, Ji Haoyue was struck squarely in the eye by Liu Yiyi’s fist, and his eyes immediately began to swell.

"Ah!!!" In an instant, Ji Haoyue was enraged. It was the first battle since his emergence, and he had been struck by a woman! For the prideful youth, this was the ultimate humiliation!

Ji Haoyue realized that the woman in white was truly unfathomable. The woman in green had been suppressed by him until her master touched her forehead, and yet she was now easily overpowering his God King body! The terror of her cultivation was evident.

"Clang!" With a crisp sound, an ancient mirror appeared above Ji Haoyue’s head, engraved with countless cloud patterns. It radiated endless divine power, as if it could tear the void asunder.

"The Void Mirror!" everyone shouted. This was the signature weapon of the Void Emperor!

Ignoring the exclamations of the crowd, Ji Haoyue cast a spell, and the Void Mirror, carrying boundless pressure, swept toward Liu Yiyi!

This was an Emperor weapon! The crowd had not expected the clan to allow the God body to bring out their ancestral treasure!

Only Ji Ziyue, standing to the side, understood that her brother was not using the true Void Mirror, but a replica of the ancestral treasure—a King-level divine weapon. Otherwise, how could the crowd remain so calm under the divine power of an Emperor weapon? Even so, the power of a King-level weapon was not to be underestimated.

Seeing the 'Void Mirror' descending to suppress her, Liu Yiyi was at a loss. She did not believe that her pair of fists could withstand the attack of an Emperor weapon.
