Chapter 670: You Think You Deserve to Be Emperor?
The First Emperor’s imperial majesty plunged the Eight Desolations into unprecedented panic.
The hundred Unity Stage cultivators, the Eight Desolation Lords, the Yin-Yang Two Immortals, Supreme Immortal Baoyi, and the external reinforcements they were so proud of bringing from the Immortal Realm were like clay Bodhisattvas before the First Emperor, unable to even protect themselves.
“Lord Luwu, save me!” Yingzhao pulled out a communication talisman, screaming and shouting as if he had lost his mind.
He had never dreamed that such a terrifying existence would appear in the Underworld.
At this moment, Immortal Lord Luwu was playing chess with the Immortal Emperor. When Immortal Lord Luwu answered the communication talisman, what appeared was a face contorted with madness, unmistakably his once-proud subordinate, Yingzhao.
Feeling he had lost face before the Immortal Emperor, Immortal Lord Luwu rebuked him with an unfriendly tone, “Panicking and flustered, what kind of behavior is this!”
Yingzhao couldn’t care less about proper behavior now; saving his life was paramount, “My Lord, there is a demon in the Underworld, a demon…”
“Oh? So you also use communication talismans to talk. This Immortal Realm isn’t so impressive after all.” The First Emperor stepped on Yingzhao, pinning him to the ground, and snatched away the communication talisman.
“Who are you!” Immortal Lord Luwu glared furiously at the First Emperor.
“Rebel scum invading Our future territory. If you have not surrendered by the time We arrive in the Immortal Realm, then await the moment We claim your true lives.” The First Emperor terminated the communication talisman.
“Out of you three, whoever reveals the location of the Immortal Realm first will receive a swift death from Us. As for the other two, you shall share the fate of the Eight Desolations natives.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the three Celestial Immortals on the brink of death experienced a last glow before death, scrambling over each other to report the coordinates of the Immortal Realm, terrified of being last and suffering the fate of the Eight Desolations.
Suffering the fate of the Eight Desolations would truly be worse than death.
“So the Immortal Realm is here.” The First Emperor obtained the Immortal Realm coordinates as desired and, keeping his promise, killed the three Celestial Immortals.
“As for the Eight Desolations, once We have dealt with the rebels of the Immortal Realm, We will slowly settle accounts with you.” Compared to the Eight Desolations, the First Emperor valued the Immortal Realm more.
…
“How utterly ridiculous, don’t You agree, Your Majesty?” Immortal Lord Luwu cursed and grumbled, thinking the other party was simply a madman. Surrender the Immortal Realm? How insane must one be to utter such words?
“We do not find it ridiculous in the slightest.”
“That man is no ordinary figure. Even through the communication talisman, We could sense the vast, ocean-like vitality of his blood and qi, and the domineering aura that pierces the heavens. He is undoubtedly a Primordial Chaos and Limitless Immortal.”
“What?!” Immortal Lord Luwu never expected His Majesty to give the First Emperor such a high evaluation.
How could there be a Primordial Chaos and Limitless Immortal outside the Immortal Realm?
The Immortal Emperor stood up. A massive illusory figure pierced through the thirty-five layers of heaven. Clad in imperial robes, majestic as a mountain, he commanded the host of immortals.
“All immortals, heed Our command. Prepare to face the enemy.”
*Crack—*
The barrier of the Immortal Realm shattered. An arrogant, untamed figure descended upon the Immortal Realm as its sovereign.
What greeted the First Emperor was the army of immortals led by the Immortal Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor wore the Tri-Phase Armor and wielded the Immortal-Burying Spear. Countless gods and Buddhas gathered under his banner, ready to be deployed at his command.
The Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions, the Gods of Fire and Water, the Earl of Wind and the Master of Rain, Yinglong the Responding Dragon and Hanba the Drought Demon…
Legendary, renowned immortals and deities all appeared here, holding immortal weapons, releasing boundless, oppressive might.
The immense pressure brought by the First Emperor prompted the Immortal Emperor to face him directly in his strongest form.
“It seems you are unwilling to bind your own hands and feet, choosing to oppose Us to the very end.” The First Emperor frowned, deeply dissatisfied with the Immortal Realm’s attitude.
“State your name, intruder!” the Immortal Emperor demanded from afar.
The First Emperor didn’t need the Immortal Emperor’s introduction. From the Immortal Emperor’s attire, he could discern the other’s identity.
He intensely disliked the title ‘Immortal Emperor’.
“We are the First Emperor, the Original Emperor, the future master of the Myriad Worlds. You, a mere king of immortals, what face do you have to call yourself ‘Emperor’ before Us?”
“Seeking death!” The Immortal Emperor was enraged. When he ascended the throne, proclaimed himself Emperor, and established the Heavenly Court, all immortals paid homage, the Dao Ancestor offered congratulations, the Buddha chanted sutras, the Confucius Sage inscribed calligraphy, the Primordial Ancestor bowed his head, and the myriad Daos submitted.
He had never seen such an arrogant person before. No matter how great his forbearance and tolerance, he could not withstand words like these from the First Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor moved, swifter than lightning, wielding the Immortal-Burying Spear, intending to nail this person to the Southern Heavenly Gate as a warning to others.
Blinding light erupted as the Immortal-Burying Spear collided with the First Emperor’s body. Immortal power exploded; weaker Celestial Immortals were directly sent tumbling by the shockwaves of the clash.
Between heaven and earth, great stars fell, immortal palaces collapsed, the Jade Pool overturned, the three thousand Weak Waters evaporated into mist, becoming a catastrophe for the Immortal Realm. The four tribulations of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water swirled around the two Emperors, unable to inflict the slightest harm.
*Thud.*
A heavy object landed, its weight immeasurable, directly crushing one layer of heaven and plummeting down to the next.
“That… that is His Majesty’s arm!”
The First Emperor had torn off one of the other’s arms.
The Immortal Emperor coldly watched the First Emperor. The other had used some method to prevent him from regenerating the arm, but such a method was useless against him. He employed a secret technique to restore the limb.
“You dare call yourself an Emperor?” The First Emperor laughed uproariously, not placing the so-called Immortal Emperor in his eyes. His fist imprint reached the pinnacle of power as he smashed it against the Immortal-Burying Spear.
“To deal with you, I don’t even need a weapon.”
“Bragging without shame.” The Immortal Emperor met the First Emperor’s fist-light.
The first light that split heaven and earth… the Immortal-Burying Spear, its tip still stained with the Dao Ancestor’s heart’s blood, shattered. The Immortal Emperor tried to prevent the spear’s destruction, but unexpectedly, his own arms were instead pulverized by the First Emperor’s fist imprint.
The Immortal Emperor revealed a look of shock.
*Boom!*
The First Emperor pressed his advantage. Billions of thunderbolts appeared, blasting open the Immortal Emperor’s chest.
This was a new thunder technique the First Emperor had comprehended after being struck by Jiang Li’s Five Thunder Righteous Method. He had overthrown his originally mastered thunder arts, undergoing transformation and sublimation to grasp this entirely new thunder method, its power far surpassing even the mightiest heavenly tribulation.
The First Emperor’s fist-light was boundless, without limit. He relentlessly pounded the Immortal Emperor’s body into a bloody mist. The Immortal Emperor’s bones and flesh burned, refined by the First Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor was greatly alarmed, sensing his Death Tribulation had arrived. He employed a secret technique of nirvana, seeking life from death, extricating himself from the Death Tribulation.
He had already been wounded to his very origin!
As the two Emperors fought, the Immortal Emperor’s immortal body exploded and reassembled time and again, his origin power continuously being worn away in the process.
*Thud!*
The Immortal Emperor fell, lacking even the strength to stand up, let alone mobilize his origin power.
The First Emperor strode forward, his footsteps like the sound of the Dao, each step landing on the heartstrings of the assembled immortals. The heartbeats and immortal blood flow of the host of immortals uncontrollably synchronized with the First Emperor’s pace, only for their hearts to explode and their immortal blood to surge up to their spiritual platforms.
The host of immortals vomited blood in great mouthfuls, staining their spiritual platforms. Some Golden Immortals even disintegrated because of this!
If Golden Immortals were in such a state, one can imagine the fate of the Celestial Immortals.
With each step the First Emperor took, the Immortal Realm became a river of blood, dyeing the thirty-six layers of heaven crimson. Even the Great Brahma Heaven was permeated with bloodstains!
The First Emperor’s body continuously grew larger, until finally his head supported one layer of heaven and his feet trod upon another, like a giant propping up the sky and standing upon the earth.
He casually picked up the Jade Pool, refining it into a crude cauldron, and used it to cover the Immortal Emperor, intending to thoroughly grind away his origin and spirit.
Not knowing how to kill a Primordial Chaos and Limitless Immortal, he could only resort to this crude method.
“This is the fate of those who defy Us.”
“Qiongxiao is my spokesperson. For Your Honor to act in such a manner truly shows no respect for my face.”
The sound of the Dao, flawless and perfect, reached the First Emperor’s ears from beyond the heavens. A flawless divine being manifested, rescuing the Immortal Emperor.
