Chapter 737: Chapter 736: Battle of Emperors
Six virtual emperors appeared, their fearsome aura sweeping across the world, causing countless beings to tremble in fear, involuntarily kneeling down, unable to stand.
This was uncontrollable, for when mortals encountered divine presences, such an instinctive reaction would occur.
"These are six virtual emperors, even true emperors wouldn’t be able to contend with them," someone said.
"If the Demon God Temple Master doesn’t come out, it will still be very difficult," another voiced.
The aged expert watched this scene unfold and sighed.
Emperors were indeed powerful, powerful enough to sweep away all opposition.
However, these virtual emperors had once been emperors themselves, and even though they had lowered their cultivation, severed their connection to the Great Dao, and their strength had diminished quite a bit, they had still reached that level and the power they unleashed was no less formidable.
One virtual emperor would certainly not be a match for an emperor, but in front of them stood no fewer than six.
"It’s been many years since I’ve fought an emperor; I never imagined I’d have the opportunity today," one of the middle-aged virtual emperors said, with a cold gleam in his eyes and an indifferent expression, looking at the ancient emperor as if he were prey.
This emperor was known as Emperor Lingyun, who had become an emperor tens of thousands of years ago and had spent his later years seeking the path to immortality. It was in search of this path to becoming an immortal that he became a virtual emperor and entered the Star River Forbidden Land.
Since entering the Star River Forbidden Land, he had rarely appeared and had only engaged in combat with another virtual emperor, a battle that was brief and fleeting.
They from the Star River Forbidden Land were now setting their sights on the ancient emperor, preparing for the hunt.
This was something unimaginable.
"The emperor’s vigor is strong; if we can devour his essence, we may be able to return to our peak, or even regain the level of an emperor," another virtual emperor spoke, none other than Emperor Xingyu, the sovereign of the Star River Emperors.
He too had once been an incredibly powerful emperor, having slain two virtual emperors.
However, faced with the risk of his life nearing its end in his later years, he did not wish to perish in such a manner, so he established the Star River Forbidden Land and became a virtual emperor.
The emperor, who had once despised the virtual emperors and even wanted to destroy the Forbidden Land, eventually became one himself.
"I was merely thinking of devouring a being with the Great Perfection Supreme System to replenish my body, yet I did not expect an emperor to appear."
"For six virtual emperors to act against you, you can consider yourself honored for all eternity," said an elderly woman who had once been a world-renowned emperor.
Regrettably, even as a female emperor, she could not withstand the passage of time, and when death approached, she too chose the path of a virtual emperor.
This elder was called Empress Caiyue.
At this moment, the six virtual emperors stared intently at the ancient emperor, their gazes sharp like hunters eyeing their prey.
In their eyes, the ancient emperor was already fish on the chopping board, ready to be slain and become their sustenance at any time.
For a while, the strong onlookers fell silent, for only these virtual emperors dared speak so boldly, having once reached this level themselves.
It was only they who had the audacity to claim they could kill an emperor.
The countenance of the ancient emperor darkened instantly, and he said coldly, "You sewer rats also dare to talk about slaying me?"
"Heh, truly overestimating oneself," he added.
In the midst of speaking, the ancient emperor took action immediately.
The moment he moved, it was earth-shattering; a massive hand descended from the heavens, its fluctuations causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the star river to shatter.
The shockwaves alone possessed the power to annihilate heaven and earth.
Merely a breath of it was enough to obliterate the bodies of the surrounding strong, including Wu Fengyu, leaving only their terrified souls.
And the divine consciousness within those Divine Weapons stood no chance against it.
Six emperor consciousnesses were crushed immediately by the shockwaves, and the Divine Weapons let out a mournful cry, turning into countless fragments.
This was the dominance of an emperor; even without a targeted strike, a hint of their aura could pulverize Divine Weapons.
Of course, not every emperor could achieve this feat.
It was only giants among emperors like the Eternal Emperor who possessed such majesty, with combat power as unfathomable as the abyss.
Seizing the moment, Xiang Batian and the Green Lotus Hermit charged directly at Long Zhan and Feng Jiutian.
Long Zhan and Feng Jiutian had not yet reacted.
In an instant, Sword Qi skyrocketed, and the terrifying sword intent cleaved Feng Jiutian in two.
The dreadful Sword Qi filled Feng Jiutian’s face with horror as his soul quickly fled.
However, the Green Lotus Hermit was much faster, and with a slash of Sword Qi, Feng Jiutian wasn’t so lucky this time—his soul was shattered to pieces.
He completely perished right there and then.
On the other side, the fight between Xiang Batian and Long Zhan had begun, with a punch from Xiang Batian exploding his body.
"Weren’t you acting all arrogant just now?"
"Now, I’ll give you a chance to kill me."
Long Zhan was filled with boundless anger. He wanted to kill Xiang Batian, but his own strength was insufficient.
"Come on, keep being arrogant, keep raging," Xiang Batian taunted, as he wildly swung his fists, all landing on Long Zhan.
Meanwhile, Long Zhan kept recovering and being destroyed repeatedly.
Eventually, Xiang Batian grabbed hold of Long Zhan’s soul.
"No, don’t kill me, I submit, I submit!"
Faced with the threat of death, Long Zhan dared not be arrogant anymore and knelt to beg for mercy.
"Heh, we don’t need trash like you at the Demon God Temple."
Xiang Batian crushed Long Zhan’s soul in his grasp.
Elsewhere, the battle between the Eternal Emperor and the six Xu Emperors was in full swing.
A massive palm reached the six Xu Emperors, shaking heaven and earth, and their expressions changed with the terrifying force.
The might of the Eternal Emperor was greater than they had imagined.
"Hmph, what does it matter if you’re a true emperor? You are but one man after all," the Colorful Moon Xu Emperor snorted lightly. With a wave of her hand, countless rays of moonlight fell from the sky, blanketing the entire Star Domain. Each ray seemed mesmerizingly beautiful, yet each was laden with lethal intent targeting the Eternal Emperor.
"Here we have six Xu Emperors. Even if one of us is not your match, how can you withstand all six of us together?"
The other supremes each unleashed their secret techniques, striking at the Eternal Emperor.
"Heh, a bunch of ants daring to make noise here."
The Eternal Emperor suddenly laughed, easily shattering the incoming attacks and then crashing down onto one of the Xu Emperors.
Bang!
The Xu Emperor was sent flying, his body exploding upon impact.
The other Xu Emperors were no match either and were also sent flying. Although their bodies didn’t break apart, the sight was still very unsightly.
The six of them together couldn’t defeat the Eternal Emperor.
This was simply infuriating.
"Kill!"
With a low roar, the War God Xu Emperor drew a black greatsword, with countless black energies flickering on it, seemingly devouring everything like a black hole.
