Chapter 739: Chapter 738: The Fall of the False Emperor
The War God Xu Di was filled with boundless rage, for he had just devoured countless lives in order to heal his injuries, all of which now seemed a waste.
Battered and bruised, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don’t force me to burn my life force, for even if I fall, I’ll drag you down with me."
Hate brimmed in the eyes of the War God Xu Di as he glared at the Eternal Emperor, filled with murderous intent.
He didn’t wish to fight with the Eternal Emperor now; he only wanted to quickly recover from his injuries.
"Ha, you think you’re worthy of perishing together with me?"
"Do you overestimate yourself? Even if you burn your life force, you’re still nothing but so-so in my eyes,"
said the Eternal Emperor with a cold laugh.
"You’re forcing my hand!"
With a roar from the War God Xu Di, a terrifying aura burst forth instantly.
In a moment, even the great Dao cried out in agony, and the void itself was alarmed.
As life force blazed furiously, another emperor regained his peak form.
For a time, the War God Xu Di was enveloped in a radiant light tens of thousands of feet high, and his momentum returned to its pinnacle.
Under the relentless oppression of the Eternal Emperor, the War God Xu Di also exploded with power, determined to take him down at all costs.
He didn’t care anymore.
Even if it meant his fall or severe injuries, none of it mattered now.
At this point, he had no way out.
If he didn’t burn his life force, he would fall right there and then.
"Die!"
The moment he recovered, the War God Xu Di charged directly at the Eternal Emperor.
Having returned to the Emperor Realm, the War God Xu Di truly possessed the power to fight.
"An emperor? What of it, I have slain countless emperors, and among them, you are the weakest,"
said the Eternal Emperor, sneering, "Burning your life force to contend with me? You’re simply too naive, Eternal Great Dao."
The Eternal Emperor’s face was etched with a cold smile, as a terrifying aura exploded instantly, and in that moment, the War God Xu Di was outrightly outmatched.
Boom!
A fearsome aura spread throughout the entire universe.
And then a Sword Qi descended, terrifying beyond measure.
In that moment, the War God Xu Di was thoroughly panicked.
He watched helplessly as the Sword Qi submerged the whole Star Domain, himself included.
On the spot, the figure of the War God Xu Di fell, his spirit not even having a chance to escape.
After that, the heavens and earth mourned together, and blood rained down from the sky.
This was the true fall of an emperor.
And not one of the Great Perfection Supreme System.
"The first emperor has fallen."
The eyes of the Skylord were filled with incredulity.
The heavens and earth mourned, and the great Dao wept.
An emperor had fallen, and even though he was a Quasi-Emperor, he once stood atop the pinnacle of the world.
"An emperor falls, and the great Dao grieves,"
"This battle is destined to become legendary—a dozen forces joining together to overthrow the Demon God Temple, a Quasi-Emperor emerges, only to be slain by the emperor of the Demon God Temple amidst the starry sky."
"With a sword, the Quasi-Emperor is slain, the Forbidden Land obliterated. Such is the true emperor!"
"No one can rival the emperor; no matter how many Quasi-Emperors there are, they’re no match for an emperor,"
cried out the creatures from myriad Star Domains, roaring with excitement.
Just moments ago, they had all been in despair. Hunted by the Quasi-Emperor, they had no power to resist and were about to become his prey.
But now, an emperor had emerged from nowhere; facing six Quasi-Emperors, he was still able to slay one.
To slay a Quasi-Emperor with a sword, such glory, destined to be sung about for generations, would be thanked by countless beings.
The ancient emperors were seen as saviors to them.
They were their benefactors.
Boom!
Watching War God Xu Di fall before them, the other Quasi-Emperors simply couldn’t accept it.
Instantly, they unleashed their most powerful might, almost simultaneously burning their life force to return to their peak condition.
Caoyun Quasi-Emperor struck with a palm, hitting Xiang Batian squarely in the chest and sending him flying.
"Spurt!"
Xiang Batian’s chest nearly burst open as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, revealing his bones from the outside.
The Tyrant Body was unmatched in the world and could contend with Emperor Divine Weapons.
Yet at this moment, Xiang Batian’s chest was penetrated by a Quasi-Emperor’s strike, which attested to the immense power of the attack.
"Is he burning his life force?"
Xiang Batian shouted to Qinglian Jushi.
He could sense how terrifying the Quasi-Emperor’s attack was; under normal circumstances, a Quasi-Emperor wouldn’t be able to do this.
"Yes, they’ve all gone mad!"
Yue Qingfeng examined their aura and said with a grave face.
"All of you be careful, the Quasi-Emperors now aren’t the same as they were just now," Xiang Batian reminded them.
Qinglian Jushi and Yue Qingfeng nodded repeatedly.
In fact, they didn’t need Xiang Batian to say it; they could feel it themselves.
"I’ll intercept the ancient emperors; you all slay these three Supreme Systems, then we’ll join forces against the ancient emperors," a Quasi-Emperor said with a dark expression.
If all three Supreme Systems fell, then they would be able to kill the ancient emperors.
"Damn it, why aren’t those from the Ancient River Forbidden Land coming out yet?" Caiyue Quasi-Emperor exclaimed with a sinking face.
Their battle had reached this stage, even with Quasi-Emperors falling, and yet there was still no sign of those people.
"Those damned guys, they’re waiting to swoop in and reap the benefits. Later, all of you be careful. Although the Great Perfection Supreme Systems are important, don’t burn too much life force. Your lives are what matter most," the Quasi-Emperors all nodded.
Despite them burning life force now, compared to the Quasi-Emperors, it was their vitality that the Quasi-Emperors coveted more.
Because their life force had already changed, all reaching a higher level.
"Attack now!"
"Hold it, your opponent is me!"
The ancient emperors intercepted, sneering as they spoke.
"A rat crossing the street, no matter how glorious you were before, in the end, you’re neither human nor ghost."
"A rat crossing the street, haha, a rat crossing the street!"
"We linger on in this world, not just for a chance. Even if we become emperors, in the end, there’s still no way out. Unless we can enter the Immortal Realm to seek the truth, it all just ends up as a joke."
"In the past life, we’ve already done enough for this world. Now, I only want to live for myself, even if there’s just a sliver of hope, we won’t give up," the Quasi-Emperor roared angrily.
During the era of emperors, they had done all they should have done.
Now, they only wanted to live for themselves, to see the Celestial Realm. They had slept for so many years just for this one opportunity.
Were they wrong?
"We’ve given everything for the beings of this world, and now I only live for myself," the Quasi-Emperor roared, then drew out a long spear, dark as the abyss, intimidating to even look at.
At this moment, he seemed to return to his former peak, the emperor who could sweep through all beneath the heavens.
He was the undefeated emperor, the invincible existence.
