At the same time, Emperor Yu swung his spear. Zhan Dao was still the only one standing on that ancient chariot, retaining a certain style. With the flapping of a pair of sacred wings behind him, his whole body was covered in auspicious light. He was close to the realm of transforming into a divine embryo and had reached the peak of this realm. He was worthy of being the number one among the three dark quasi-immortal emperors.
Chapter 574 Fighting Alone Against the Three Dark Emperors
Although he was only the leader of the three, he was the strongest person since the Boundless Era of the Annihilation Elder. He had personally killed a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, causing the World Sea to return to darkness.
The imperial spear in his hand, dripping with blood and emitting a bewitching crimson light, pierced towards Yunhua's fist, piercing through the universe.
Swoosh! The Feather Emperor unleashed his power, a dazzling divine spear illuminating one era after another, its crimson tip stained with blood, the light it emitted traversing countless ancient eras.
This spear had long since become a part of his body, invincible and unstoppable, capable of destroying all ages!
"Emperor Yu, Emperor Hong, you have arrived." Emperor Cang spoke, looking at the tall figure wearing a purple-gold crown, this being was respectfully addressed as Emperor Hong.
Emperor Yu coldly said, "You're quite good, newcomer. Join us and come with us."
Yunhua's gaze remained calm and unmoved: "It is absolutely impossible for me to fall into darkness like you."
Emperor Hong said calmly, "Only by worshipping darkness with us can you take another step forward and truly enter the realm of Immortal Emperor."
"A Celestial Emperor manipulated by others? Such a Celestial Emperor is better off not existing!"
"Otherwise, how could you have glimpsed the realm of the Immortal Emperor!"
"Then I won't!"
The majestic voice of the Azure Emperor rang out: "Emperor Hong, Emperor Yu, there's no point in saying more. This person is determined to stop us."
Wei Bin:
"Another one of our kind who is not destined by fate, the Emperor-Slaying Spear will be stained with blood again." The Feather Emperor's words were filled with boundless killing intent.
"Just the few of you?" Yun Hua chuckled.
"Isn't that enough? With the three emperors appearing together, the emperor of yesteryear still fell at our hands."
"What I mean is, all three of you are trash..."
"How could three pieces of trash possibly kill this Emperor!" Yun Hua's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Does being good with words give you more confidence? The Emperor cannot be insulted. Today, I will use your blood to show you what true reverence for the Emperor is," Emperor Hong said.
"Hey, respect? You think you're worthy?!" Yunhua scoffed.
"This spear once pierced the head of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Seeing this spear, will you not change your mind, fellow Daoist?" Emperor Yu said.
"There are no eternal and indestructible protagonists of heaven and earth. You may be an anomaly in this era, but what can you do when you encounter the three of us who are the same kind of beings? Can you defy the heavens?" Emperor Yu spoke, quite indifferent and extremely domineering.
He stood on the chariot, holding an imperial spear, its tip dripping blood, scarlet and dazzling—the blood of a quasi-immortal emperor—and the spear pointed at Yun Hua.
"Why do you all think you can kill me?"
"Since there is no eternal protagonist in the universe, why can't your fate end here?"
"It can't be me killing you all today!" Yunhua said, tilting her head.
"Where do you get your confidence, you bunch of insects who have fallen into darkness!" Yunhua roared, his voice overlapping, not like Yunhua speaking, but like countless beings superimposed together, his power shaking the heavens.
"Today is the day your fall. To defy us is a capital offense!" the Azure Emperor roared.
"Showing off, acting like everyone can do it." Yun Hua was speechless; he still wasn't quite used to the traditions of Zhetian.
But when in Rome, do as the Romans do!
"I was already at the limit of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor when I made a slight move. Back then, I had my hands in my pockets and didn't know what an opponent was."
"Hmph!" Emperor Hong and Emperor Yu said no more, their eyes growing even colder.
Yunhua has a very firm will. As a fellow traveler, she is a great partner.
As an opponent... killing them is the greatest respect!
A thunderous sound resounded through the sky, and the Feather Emperor on the giant chariot flapped his wings and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Concealed within countless spaces, the Feather Emperor raised the spear stained with the blood of the Immortal Emperor and hurled it at Yun Hua.
Emperor Hong moved slowly, raised his fist, and threw a punch at Yun Hua. The punch seemed light and airy, but it contained immense power.
The Azure Emperor swung his bone ruler and brought it down heavily, sending out countless auras of age and decay.
At this moment, the three quasi-immortal emperors unleashed their strongest attack on Yunhua together.
Yunhua switched to a defensive stance, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation descended, transforming into barriers around him.
However, a loud bang was heard, and a violent impact struck, shaking Yunhua's entire body so that it rumbled and the sea of blood churned continuously.
Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from Yunhua's body, and countless raindrops of light danced in the air, their splendor tinged with sorrow. The most fundamental Dao seemed to be wailing, unable to withstand this immense power. Celestial light spread across endless dimensions and time, as if celebrating and encouraging this unparalleled hero.
"boom!"
A dazzling light exploded, transforming into a world-shaking wave that swept across the past, present, and future, revealing the extraordinary phenomena of forbidden powerful beings. Then, it became a blessing light, spreading throughout the world.
One person dominates the Three Emperors!
"It really is true, does this mean he has replaced Shi Hao?" Yunhua thought to herself.
A single sword strike illuminates three thousand realms, its sword energy sweeping across the land with domineering arrogance, enveloping this ultimate place and transforming it into a cage, the final battlefield.
However, the three emperors did not ignore it. Adhering to the principle that enemies must be destroyed, they destroyed the sword energy cage and displayed the power of quasi-immortal emperors to the fullest.
"Suppress them!" the Azure Emperor roared, and the power of sacrifice enveloped the dark land.
To establish a distinct domain, continuously drawing upon the power of Yunhua.
When fighting against Quasi-Immortal Emperors, especially three Quasi-Immortal Emperors, one cannot afford to be too cautious. He doesn't like the idea of unleashing one's full potential.
Because he had seen his own life placed above so-called miracles.
Miracles are remarkable, but he still prefers a simple life, ideally developing into his full form and effortlessly sweeping away all enemies.
He burned his own essence and spirit, and his imperial techniques shone brightly to the extreme. In every situation where death seemed inevitable, he managed to carve out a path to survival, surpass his former self, be reborn from the ashes, and advance his cultivation to an unprecedented level!
He was originally the most skilled immortal in the world when it came to fighting, and he was sublimated in battle, getting stronger every minute and every second.
Even if they could suppress me in cultivation level just now, what does that have to do with me now?!
The three emperors shone together, their divine power transforming into divine runes, which stiffened Yunhua's body and made her movements less swift than before.
At this level, all secret techniques and supernatural abilities have long been integrated into one, becoming indistinguishable from one another.
Although Yunhua is constantly getting stronger, she is still somewhat inferior to the combined power of the three emperors.
A single Emperor-level Divine Fruit is far from being a match for three Quasi-Immortal Emperors.
Of course, if he took out the Reincarnation Dao Fruit and the Heavenly Dao Fruit together and directly unlocked the main password, this battle would be much easier.
But Yunhua did not intend to do so, not only because of the karmic backlash, but more so because he was not the protagonist of this chaotic ancient era, and the person destined for this calamity had not yet arrived.
Chapter 575 The Dark Army Marches On
The main character hasn't even arrived yet; how can this supporting actor steal his thunder? His era is in the future!
"Let's lay the foundation for you this time, as a way of repaying some of the karmic debts."
A beam of light traversed the ages, moving at incredible speed; it was a spear.
Swoosh! A wave of blood surged up as the Emperor-Slaying Spear, dripping with blood, was pulled from Yunhua's abdomen, piercing and severing it.
A quasi-Immortal Emperor level injury, with boundless laws.
Yunhua's wound was slow to heal, filled with the laws of the Feather Emperor, and blood kept flowing out during the battle.
Tiny specks of light floated off Yunhua's body, returning to normal in the blink of an eye.
The Quasi-Immortal Emperor's cultivation has reached the Great Dao; the mere destruction of his physical body cannot erase his existence.
To kill a quasi-Immortal Emperor, one must use countless attacks to continuously destroy his physical body.
This depleted his source of power, preventing him from condensing himself again, thus enabling him to kill a quasi-Immortal Emperor.
The next moment, the laws intertwined, imprisoning this place. Yun Hua, who was trapped in the middle, could hardly use his peerless divine powers, as the three emperors suppressed him together.
"Crack!"
That was the sound of a weapon breaking. A broken spear fell and floated on the boundary sea, its luster dim and lifeless, signifying that the essence of the weapon had been destroyed.
"Was my blood shed in vain?" Yun Hua said softly. In that contact, Yun Hua was stabbed with a large hole, but he also broke off the tip of the Emperor-Slaying Spear.
"Pfft!" Endless blood splattered, bursting forth from the battlefield and obliterating the sky.
That was the blood of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, containing fragments of laws. That peak attack shattered even the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's laws within the blood into millions of pieces. The remaining Feather Emperor laws continued to be eroded, and wisps of immortal light rose. In a daze, a wail was heard, a lament of heaven and earth.
The Emperor of Heaven sheds blood, and Heaven and Earth grieve with him!
He traded wounds for wounds, lives for lives. In this world, he was still just a young man, a young man millions of years old, whose fighting spirit and bloodlust were still boiling.
The battle continues to escalate, Yunhua is getting stronger, and they are also constantly improving their combat power.
They sacrificed their essence to the Corpse Immortal Emperor in order to comprehend the laws of the Emperor's Way. Constantly comprehending higher-level principles of law brought them immense pressure, and at the same time, their lost essence could not be replenished.
They are often not at their peak for long periods of time, but now that they have recovered, even in battle, they can draw on the essence of heaven and earth to restore their fighting power.
Of course, this is because Yunhua has not yet dragged them into a life-or-death battle. Otherwise, like Shi Hao in the original work, their absorption rate would be far slower than their consumption rate.
Even so, it took hundreds of thousands of years to completely deplete the primordial energy within his body.
"boom!"
A mutilated body struggled to retreat from the battlefield, blood still burning, as it used the laws of space and time to escape trillions of miles away and avoid the greatest calamity.
That was the Azure Emperor. In an instant, Yun Hua displayed an even higher level of combat power, tearing his imperial body apart. His sacred yet ominous blood was scattered across the dark land, making this already ominous place even darker.
"Do you think you can get away?" Yunhua asked.
Like the Heavenly Emperor issuing a decree, his majesty was unparalleled. It seemed to transcend the constraints of time and space, each step representing an era. He directly caught up with the fleeing Azure Emperor, and with one palm, he suppressed his opponent's divine consciousness, intending to shatter his Dao Fruit!
Then, the Six Paths of Reincarnation shone brightly, swallowing the Milky Way, and absorbed the corpse into it, intending to suppress it.
He was, after all, a quasi-Immortal Emperor; his level of life was far too high. Such an attack could not possibly kill him.
To their astonishment, Yunhua charged forward, shaking off Hongdi, attacking Cangdi, tearing him apart, and storing his imperial body in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. As for his back, a flaw was revealed, as the imperial spear, repaired by Yudi, pierced through his shoulder, leaving him covered in blood.
This is the Emperor's Spear, with immense destructive power!
Yunhua's shoulder blade exploded instantly, blood splattered across the starry sky, and the earth sank in as well; the power of this spear was unparalleled.
However, even after paying this price, he still did not achieve his goal, and in a hasty exchange, he had a major clash with Emperor Hong.
Emperor Yu raised his spear again, striking directly at the Six Paths of Reincarnation, breaking through the myriad laws of law and releasing Emperor Cang.
This is too difficult!
Suppressing one person is almost impossible; one can only fight against three, having one's origin constantly eroded and one's divine power depleted. This is how Emperor Fengyuan of Footprint was eroded. In the end, he was pierced through the forehead by a spear, his body and soul vanished, leaving only a ball of imperial fire, which was used as an ornament by the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
However, Yunhua was not discouraged. The battle had only just begun and would surely last for hundreds of thousands of years. Temporary gains and losses were not a big deal.
"Since that's the case, I'll give you another great gift!" Emperor Yu stood on his chariot, never dismounting from beginning to end, looking down upon the world with disdain. Holding his imperial spear in one hand, he waved it behind him and said, "Charge towards the Immortal Realm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, at the edge of the earth, figures appeared, followed by the rumble of chariots, and a group of people emerged, all carrying overwhelming dark power.
Yun Hua's gaze turned cold. He saw the group of people, led by a Celestial King-level expert, a group of fallen kings!
"Go to the other side of the Boundary Sea and bring our people back. If there are any aliens, kill them without hesitation!" Emperor Yu said.
What kind of brutality was this? Yunhua shuddered.
If this group of fallen kings were to lead their army to the other side of the Boundary Sea, it would be a catastrophe, and the so-called Dark Storm would surely come to pass upon them!
"Yes!"
These beings responded with a single word, perfectly synchronized and powerful, their murderous aura instantly surging to the heavens, shaking this ancient and ultimate land. Deep within this land, there was indeed a vast army.
"Woo..."
A living being sounded the horn, and at the same moment, near the Boundary Sea, waves crashed against the sky, and symbols of the Great Dao bloomed, surging towards the sea!
That was a conch shell bestowed by a quasi-immortal emperor; blowing it like that was enough to cause the heavens and earth to collapse.
This army is about to set off, stepping into the dark lands to cross the sea to the other side. Of course, they won't actually spend hundreds of thousands or millions of years, because there are roads built by the ancient temple in the boundary sea that can directly lead to the other side of the sea!
Yunhua hadn't made a move yet, staring ahead, not because he didn't want to, but because it was proving difficult.
"Kill!" The battle between emperors broke out. Yun Hua fought against three quasi-immortal emperors alone. The battle was extremely fierce, with imperial blood splattering everywhere. The fighting reached a fever pitch, making it difficult for Yun Hua to spare any hands to kill the army of immortal kings.
During the great battle, the three emperors were ruthless and merciless. Even when the battle affected their distant armies, which were their own troops, they did not care and continued to launch fierce attacks.
