The azure sea met the sky, and a frigid wind howled.

The silent void gradually twisted, transforming into a portal. Barbarian God Wufeng and Barbarian God Gemo emerged one after another, their faces grave.

Due to the recent battle in the Central Plains, Barbarian God Wufeng had ultimately compromised, deciding to agree with Barbarian God Gemo's proposal to rescue Huangji and oversee the overall situation.

They couldn't wait any longer.

Knowing Chen Yuan as they did, once the war in the Central Plains ended, there was a high probability he would reignite hostilities and launch a northern expedition, trampling the grasslands. And with only the two of them, at the Human Immortal level of Barbarian Gods,

there was no possibility of stopping Chen Yuan.

Under the threat of death, other matters seemed less important.

Even if Huangji broke free, their status would decline significantly. The Ancient Wood Royal Court, the Ancient Gold Royal Court, and the Ancient Wind Royal Court might even be destroyed, leading to the creation of a new Xiongnu Royal Court.

But at least... they could still live...

Amidst the chaotic trends, being able to live was already a luxury.

"Is this the secret realm you spoke of?"

Barbarian God Wufeng looked ahead, a hint of suspicion on his face.

Because the area was very calm, with no signs of chaos. It was no different from any other part of the grassland. At least, he couldn't detect any traces of a secret realm.

"It's right here."

Barbarian God Gemo said in a deep voice.

"Open it. I want to talk to Huangji." Barbarian God Wufeng's eyes flickered with light.

He still wanted to negotiate some things at the end.

"Alright." Barbarian God Gemo nodded. He wasn't surprised by Barbarian God Wufeng's words. After all, he had been a retired emperor for hundreds of years, and now someone was about to stand above him.

Naturally, he would feel uncomfortable.

With a tap of his finger, a dense force of rules began to spread, merging into the void. In an instant, an astonishing light began to emanate, and a chaotic aura surged out.

A portal was opened in the void.

"Let's go."

Barbarian God Gemo glanced at Wufeng and stepped into the secret realm without hesitation. Barbarian God Wufeng didn't hesitate either, quickly following in his footsteps.

The secret realm that Barbarian God Gemo opened was exactly as he had described. It wasn't a normal secret realm at all. It exuded chaos everywhere, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Some areas of the void were already shattered, with streams of spatial turbulence constantly flowing.

The two transformed into two rainbows of light, traversing more than ten miles in the blink of an eye, arriving at an even more chaotic void where chaotic and baleful auras intertwined and leaked out.

If a martial artist below the sixth realm were to come here, it would indeed be a deadly place. If they were contaminated, they would either die or be seriously injured.

"Huangji, I have arrived."

Barbarian God Gemo looked at the chaotic void and said in a deep voice.

"You... finally came..." A hoarse voice echoed from within the chaotic area. It sounded somewhat aged, but it was actually full of vigor.

At the same time, within the chaotic void, a burly man with long hair opened his eyes. The power of rules flowed within his pupils, making him seem extraordinary.

Around the burly man, strands of chaotic rules of heaven and earth wrapped around him like chains. Although he could maintain immunity to erosion with his own power,

he couldn't break free on his own. He could only survive in this place.

And his identity was none other than Barbarian God Huangji, who had once dominated the grasslands.

"Huangji, do you still recognize me?" Barbarian God Wufeng took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

Huangji in the chaotic land remained silent for a while, seemingly pondering who it was. After a moment, he replied:

"So it's Wufeng. You're not dead yet?"

Barbarian God Wufeng was undoubtedly the oldest Barbarian God. If it weren't for the Xuanwu Divine Studies, his lifespan would indeed be nearing its end.

Wufeng glanced at Gemo with curiosity, seemingly surprised that Huangji didn't know about him.

"I naturally wouldn't tell Huangji about the situation on the grasslands before we reached an agreement." Barbarian God Gemo explained.

Barbarian God Wufeng thoughtfully replied:

"Hehe, I was fortunate enough to obtain some longevity-extending spiritual objects. I still have some time before my lifespan ends."

"Hmm... Have you come to help me get out?"

Huangji didn't want to waste time with small talk. He had been trapped in this chaotic place for hundreds of years. Even though his cultivation was steadily increasing, he was already going crazy.

He couldn't wait to get out and breathe the air of the grasslands.

Unfortunately, since Barbarian God Gemo left last time, he had only returned now, keeping him here for so long.

"The grasslands are weakening now, surrounded by enemies. We have indeed come to help you break free and oversee the overall situation."

"Oh, then let's get started. Once I'm out, I'll definitely help you solve all the problems." Huangji quickly stated.

"Helping you is possible, but you must agree to some conditions."

Barbarian God Gemo said.

"Speak."

"After you break free, we can assist you in ruling the grasslands and unifying the royal court, but you must never treat us as subordinates, to be summoned and dismissed at will.

On some decisions regarding the grasslands, if the two of us object, you must not act arbitrarily..." Barbarian God Wufeng didn't waste time either, stating some conditions he had prepared.

Overall, he didn't think his demands were wrong. Even after Huangji broke free, he wouldn't usurp power. He was just proposing that the three of them were actually equal.

Respecting him as the leader was fine, but it couldn't be excessive.

"Alright, alright, I agree. Hurry up and get started." Before Barbarian God Wufeng could finish speaking, Huangji in the chaotic void impatiently agreed.

At this point, he would agree to any conditions.

But although he agreed very quickly, Barbarian God Gemo and Barbarian God Wufeng didn't respond. Instead, they exchanged a look and remained silent.

Seeing that the two didn't respond, Huangji in the chaotic realm chuckled, understanding their meaning. Seeing that they weren't easy to fool, he then said in a deep voice:

"I, Huangji, swear to the Dao of Heaven that after Daoist friends Wufeng and Gemo help me break free, I will definitely..."

For martial artists below the sixth realm, the Soul Demon Blood Oath was the most deterrent because if they want to pass a Great Realm, they will inevitably encounter a spiritual barrier. If there are loopholes, it is basically difficult to breakthrough successfully.

The reason why Chen Yuan didn't encounter a Soul Demon when he broke through to Body Sanctification and Refining Void to enter the Dao was simply because his state of mind was perfect and there were no loopholes, so he skipped that barrier.

And for immortals who break through the sixth realm, the only thing that has the most deterrence and restraint left is the oath to Heaven. It’s not that it must not be violated, but few people dare to try.

Otherwise, comprehend the rules...

"Let's begin." Barbarian God Gemo looked at Wufeng.

Since Huangji had made an oath to the Dao of Heaven, their goal had been almost achieved. It was unrealistic to impose any other constraints on him, and it would only anger him.

It wouldn't be worth it.

Huangji was, after all, a powerful expert at the Earth Immortal level. If they pushed him too hard, he would definitely be able to send them both on their way, even at the cost of some damage.

"Alright."

Barbarian God Wufeng nodded.

The two exchanged a glance and acted together. Two streams of the power of rules instantly surged out, like streams of light, directly merging into the chaotic void.

About a quarter of an hour later.

The chaotic rules of heaven and earth's restraints on Huangji finally began to gradually weaken. Huangji's eyes narrowed, and the power of rules around him rapidly erupted, forcefully opening up a world.

The next moment, he directly tore through the void and broke free.

"Hahaha... Hahaha... I'm finally free..." A crazed laughter came from the long-haired man's mouth, shaking the void as if to release all the pent-up energy from the past years.

The laughter lasted for a full hundred breaths before stopping. Huangji opened his arms, breathing the air of the secret realm. This was the feeling of freedom, making him feel incredibly comfortable all over.

"Congratulations, Daoist friend Huangji, on breaking free."

"Congratulations, Daoist friend Huangji, on breaking free."

Barbarian Gods Wufeng and Gemo raised their right arms, hammered on their right chests, and congratulated him with the Barbarian ritual.

Huangji's eyes flashed as he looked at the two Barbarian Gods in front of him and said:

"Don't worry, I, Huangji, keep my word. Since I've sworn an oath to you, I won't go back on it. From now on, the control of the grasslands still belongs to the three of us.

You will be my right-hand men in the future."

"We are willing to be driven by the grasslands' Khan."

The two said in unison.

"Heavenly Khan, hahaha... Haha..." Huangji immediately smiled with joy. Not everyone can be called Heavenly Khan. It is equivalent to the Human Emperor of the human race and the Demon Emperor of the demon race.

Only the Khan of the Xiongnu royal court in the past had the qualifications to become the Heavenly Khan.

It can condense the kingdom's fortune and is a truly supreme existence.

"Alright, alright... Just now, you said that there were enemies surrounding the grasslands. Who is it? The Great Chu Dynasty of the Central Plains?" When Huangji was not trapped, the Great Chu Dynasty of the Central Plains was still in charge.

Naturally, people would think of it.

"The Great Chu Dynasty of the Central Plains was destroyed more than two hundred years ago."

"Destroyed?" Huangji was stunned for a moment, seemingly a little surprised.

When the Great Chu Dynasty was still there, it suppressed the grasslands so they didn't dare to move. He was deeply impressed by it.

"That's right."

"Tell me in detail..."

"More than two hundred years ago..." Barbarian God Gemo began to tell Huangji about what happened after the Great Chu was destroyed with a solemn expression.

"Then the threat you are talking about refers to?"

"Prince Yan, Chen Yuan!"

"Huh?"

"This son has not cultivated for a long time, but his strength is extremely terrifying, and his talent is known as unparalleled throughout the ages. At the beginning... later... now... the Central Plains has ended the troubled times.

It was quickly unified by this person. With the previous grievances, he will definitely not let it go, and with the help of Earth Immortal powerhouses around him, that's why we..."

Barbarian God Gemo frowned slightly and talked about everything about Chen Yuan.

Although it is not detailed, it is almost the same.

"Looking at it this way, this person is indeed a threat..." Huangji narrowed his eyes, but then sneered a few times:

"Even if this son is strong, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to overcome his cultivation and match an Earth Immortal powerhouse. He is just relying on the power of the Central Plains. I have entered the Earth Immortal realm for many years.

It is only one step away from the late stage of the Earth Immortal stage. It is not too difficult to take down this son."

"This... Heavenly Khan, don't underestimate this son, he..."

Seeing that Huangji seemed to be underestimating Chen Yuan and didn't take it seriously, Gemo and Wufeng were both anxious, fearing that Huangji would suffer if he fought against him in the future.

"Don't say much, I know what to do. I think he scared you all, but it doesn't matter. After I unify the grasslands, I will personally take action to capture him.

Matching Chu Taizu, hehe... how is that possible?"

"There is no need to worry about the previous so-called immortal war. Even if this person's strength is not weak, he must have been severely damaged in this battle and cannot be my opponent.

Don't worry, I have the power of an Earth Immortal and I am enough to sweep the human world and re-establish the whip of heaven a thousand years ago!"

"Heavenly Khan..."

......

......

At the time when the Barbarian Heavenly Khan Huangji was breaking through, Chen Yuan, who had suffered considerable injuries before, relied on his own powerful physical self-healing ability and had finally recovered after nearly ten days.

On this day, in the palace, Chen Yuan walked out of the secret realm and came to the stargazing tower that Jingtai once loved the most.

With the ten-year pressure of the Immortal Realm, even if Chen Yuan felt that he had plenty of time, he didn't dare to relax at all. He would not fight the Immortal Realm until he had cultivated his body and soul to the peak of the Earth Immortal stage.

And this was the realm of Chu Taizu.

It can also be said that he is invincible in the world, but he can't stop the swarms of people in the Immortal Realm from constantly consuming his source of power. After all, in addition to Human Immortals, there are also Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals.

In fact, if Chen Yuan wants to have a greater chance of winning when facing the Immortal Realm, he still needs to improve his cultivation to the Celestial Immortal level. Only in this way can he truly be sure of success.

It's just... it's really difficult to break through.

Chu Taizu, who was blessed with the luck of the world, did not succeed. Chen Yuan actually does not have that much confidence. After all, there are not many people left who own luck now.

Almost all the human world's value has been taken by him.

Want to enter the Celestial Immortal stage... it's difficult.

"Huh..."

A breeze blew by, carrying a hint of fragrance, refreshing one's heart and spleen. Chen Yuan looked back and saw Su Ziyue wearing a large red palace dress, outlining her graceful figure, looking at him with a smile.

"Regent..."

Su Ziyue smiled lightly, walked up to Chen Yuan, and her eyes sparkled.

"Regent?"

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"Hehe, you have been in seclusion for several days and left behind the temporary title of not becoming emperor. Sima Ke and Princess Pingyang put this title on you, and it is quite appropriate." Su Ziyue covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Indeed appropriate."

Chen Yuan nodded and did not say much.

"How is your injury?"

"I'm fine."

"That's good..."

"When did you arrive?"

"It's been several days. I heard that you were in seclusion, so I didn't disturb you."

"Have you been thinking about me recently?"

Chen Yuan looked at Su Ziyue's beautiful face and became interested.

"Yes."

"Where are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about everywhere..." Su Ziyue rolled her eyes at Chen Yuan, clearly it was an old monk eating frog legs, asking the obvious.

When Chen Yuan came to Zhongzhou, she was both thinking about him and worried about him. She didn't feel relieved until she received confirmation.

Chen Yuan's mouth curved up, his hot eyes swept over her entire body, and he whispered:

"Come?"

"Now?"

Su Ziyue looked around and hesitated.

Chen Yuan's mind moved, and a majestic force of rules enveloped the entire stargazing tower, instantly forming a barrier that even Celestial Immortals could not silently see through.

Su Ziyue chuckled, rarely seeing Chen Yuan looking impatient. She cleared her throat and snorted:

"Let's go then, let's see if you, the world-famous regent, can subdue me, a demoness."

As soon as she finished speaking, furry white fox tails quickly rose from under her long skirt. At the same time, Su Ziyue's ears also became sharp, and her eyes contained a hint of provocation.

"Bold fox demon, this king wants you to help me cultivate!"

Chen Yuan smiled lightly, revealing a charming smile.

......

Days later.

Chen Yuan stood at the railing with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery outside with deep eyes, exuding an extraordinary demeanor. His whole body revealed the aura of a sage and the power of the Dao.

"After breaking through the Yang God realm, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline in your body has undergone many mutations."
