Chapter 1623 The Evil Emperor Makes His Move
The Annihilation Cauldron crashed down with the power to devour all the heavens. The ferocious runes on the cauldron shone brightly. Wherever it passed, even space was distorted into a dark vortex. All the starlight around was swallowed up, and the entire starry sky fell into a deathly darkness!
Song Yu's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He could clearly feel the power within the Demon Cauldron that was enough to destroy a universe, something that he, at the mid-stage of the Dao Realm, could not contend with.
He abruptly turned to look at the Evil Emperor, a complex expression flashing in his eyes: "Evil Emperor, I'm afraid we still have to rely on you!"
The Evil Emperor understood immediately. He knew that this was a matter of life and death, and he could no longer hold back!
In an instant, a vast and boundless azure power surged from his body, sweeping towards Song Yu like a raging sea.
This power contained the oppressive aura accumulated over the years, as well as an overbearing dominance that looked down upon all the heavens. As soon as it appeared, it caused the surrounding void to tremble slightly!
"Thank you!"
Song Yu thanked him gratefully, and the next moment, he held the Divine Sword horizontally in front of his chest and quickly formed a hand seal with his left hand.
This power quickly intertwined with his own six Chaos Emperor Qi, transforming into a dark golden torrent that continuously flowed into the Divine Sword!
The cracks on the sword blade healed rapidly, the runes shimmered with ever-increasing brilliance, and a terrifying sword intent surpassing the mid-stage of the Dao Realm suddenly soared into the sky!
"Divine Path? Chaos, one sword opens the gates of heaven!"
Song Yu's voice carried the power to tear through the sky. He gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, concentrated all his strength into one point, and slashed fiercely at the falling Annihilation Demon Cauldron!
A dark golden sword beam that pierced the starry sky burst forth, its chaotic energy surging within it, seemingly containing the power to create the world, and collided violently with the Annihilation Demon Cauldron!
"boom!"
A deafening roar resounded throughout the universe. The moment the two terrifying forces collided, a shockwave visible to the naked eye spread wildly in all directions from the point of impact!
The meteorites in the starry sky were all turned to dust, and the black-robed soldiers who had no time to dodge were shredded to ashes by the shockwave before they could even scream.
Song Yu felt an overwhelming force coming from the sword. His arm bones made a "crackling" sound as they could not bear the weight, and his tiger's mouth split open, with blood splattering onto the sword!
His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a starry barrier. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Father! (Master)!" Song Qinghong and Zhang Zishi were furious and were about to rush forward with their divine weapons in hand.
"Hold the line!"
Song Yu's voice became hoarse again, but it carried an undeniable authority.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, struggled to his feet, and stared intently at the Silent Demon Cauldron floating in the starry sky.
At this moment, the Demon Cauldron's light dimmed slightly, and several fine cracks appeared on its body, but its all-devouring power was still terrifying.
Upon seeing this, a hint of ferocity flashed across Rose Venerable's pretty face.
She hadn't expected that Song Yu could withstand the attack from the Annihilation Demon Cauldron under the Black Fiend Venerable's oppressive aura, and even damage the cauldron. She rapidly formed hand seals, chanting, "Demon Cauldron devours souls, all spirits sacrifice!"
As her incantation ended, a mournful roar suddenly came from the Nirvana Cauldron, and countless dark soul shadows poured out from the cauldron's mouth, rushing towards the defense line of the three universes.
These soul shadows are all remnants of the myriad spirits devoured by the Demon Cauldron, now controlled by the Rose Venerable and transformed into deadly weapons.
"Not good!" Ying Zheng's expression changed drastically. He held the Emperor's Sword, surrounded by dragon souls. "Everyone, quickly form the Heavenly Guardian Array!"
As soon as the words fell, Ying Zheng, Zhao Xiaolong, Saint Venerable, Wu Nian, Zhang Zishi and other Eternal Realm experts quickly flew up and stood in the eight directions of the great formation.
They continuously poured their own Dao power into the great formation, and a dazzling golden light curtain suddenly rose up, enveloping the three universes within it.
This formation was given to them by the Evil Emperor. If they join forces, they won't have any problem with withstanding a Dao Realm expert!
The ghostly figure crashed into the light screen, making a "sizzling" sound. The light screen trembled violently, but it never broke.
However, the formation consumes a great deal of resources!
The Black Fiend Venerable remained standing in place, his eyes beneath the blood-red mask icy and piercing.
He glanced at Song Yu, who was struggling to hold on, and then at the crumbling protective array, before slowly raising his right hand.
Within his palm, black malevolent energy surged wildly, condensing into a ferocious black spear, emanating a terrifying pressure from the peak of the Dao Realm.
"You ants, I've had my fun, it's time to end this."
The Black Fiend Venerable's voice was cold and ruthless. He flicked his finger, and the black spear, like a black lightning bolt, instantly pierced the sky and shot towards Song Yu's brow.
This spear thrust contained all his strength, intended to kill in one strike!
Song Yu's pupils shrank sharply. At this moment, his internal energy was completely exhausted, and he was powerless to dodge.
He watched the rapidly approaching spear, a flicker of despair in his eyes. Was the fate of the three universes ultimately sealed—annihilation?
At this critical moment, a pitch-black figure suddenly appeared beside him—it was the Demon Emperor!
"The Dao leads to a chaotic dance of celestial demons!"
The Demon Emperor's long hair flew wildly, and the surrounding Dao power surged continuously. At this moment, the Demon Emperor was clearly also in the mid-stage of the Dao Realm!
"cough……"
He couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood. The Demon Emperor had shielded Song Yu from this fatal blow, and for him, the exertion was truly immense!
"I never expected that two Dao Realm experts would emerge from this mere lower realm today! And both of them are at the mid-stage!"
A hint of surprise flashed in the Black Fiend Venerable's eyes. He looked the Demon Emperor up and down in disbelief. "What a pity, a lowly person is still a lowly person!"
"Is it……"
The Demon Emperor's lips curled slightly, and a large amount of demonic energy suddenly erupted, sweeping wildly in all directions!
Boom! !
The well-organized nebula was swept away by this demonic energy.
"Nonsense!" Venerable Black Fiend sneered, his killing intent intensifying. He flashed forward, ready to personally take action and kill the Demon Emperor!
"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean."
Just then, a cold shout suddenly rang out, and the figure of the Evil Emperor appeared in front of the Black Fiend Venerable like a ghost.
His body was enveloped in surging black imperial aura, and a pressure comparable to that of the Black Fiend Venerable suddenly erupted.
"What? How is this possible? Peak Dao Realm?"
A look of shock flashed in the Black Fiend Venerable's eyes as he stared intently at the Evil Emperor. "Three Dao Realm experts have appeared in the lower realm? This is absolutely impossible! And one of them is at the peak of the Dao! Who exactly are you?"
"Guess what?"
The Evil Emperor smiled mysteriously and then threw a punch. The Black Fiend Venerable was not to be outdone and threw a punch in return!
The two peak-level Dao Realm powers collided, causing the starry sky to tremble violently once again. The terrifying shockwave annihilated the surrounding space inch by inch.
The two powerful figures instantly engaged in a fierce battle, their blows landing squarely and each strike potentially fatal.
The two forces collided and burst forth with brilliant light, illuminating the entire dark starry sky.
Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the scene before him, but he had not expected that the Evil Emperor would actually recover his full strength!
"Don't overthink it. He hasn't fully recovered; it's just temporary."
The Demon Emperor shook his head, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He was probably the one who understood the Evil Emperor best!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Rose Venerable looked at the Evil Emperor and Black Fiend Venerable locked in battle, then glanced at Song Yu who was recovering, a fierce glint flashing across her pretty face.
With a gentle wave of her jade hand, the Annihilation Cauldron slowly rose again, the runes on its body flashing with a bloodthirsty light!
"Since that's the case, then let this universe be completely reduced to chaos!"
The Nirvana Cauldron emitted a series of humming sounds, and the cracks in its body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. From the pitch-black mouth of the cauldron, an even denser chaotic energy surged forth.
The remnant souls devoured by the Demon Cauldron were now wailing in agony inside the cauldron. Their cries pierced through the void and stabbed straight into the souls, causing the cultivators behind the three cosmic defense lines to turn pale and their souls to tremble!
Holding the Emperor's Sword, its blade gleaming with the roar of a dragon's soul, Ying Zheng struggled to stabilize the protective array, veins bulging on his forehead: "Your Excellency, why are you so determined to do this?"
"We should have no enmity whatsoever among us!"
The Rose Venerable scoffed, his crimson eyes sweeping across the ravaged starry sky below. "Why should lowly beings live?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she slammed her palm down on the cauldron.
"Buzz!"
The Annihilation Demon Cauldron trembled violently, and a devouring power far exceeding that before suddenly erupted.
The void outside the great formation collapsed inch by inch, turning into a pitch-black vortex. Even the golden light screen protecting the great formation began to show visible ripples. The runes on the light screen flickered, as if they would collapse at any moment!
Song Yu sat cross-legged and hovered in the starry sky. The six chaotic energies around him began to circulate wildly. He could clearly feel the tremors of the great formation and the power that was enough to devour all the heavens. He was extremely anxious, but the recovery of his Dao power would take time and could not be rushed!
"Father!" Song Qinghong cried out, his spear sweeping across, shredding the oncoming remnant souls, but his eyes were fixed on Song Yu's direction. "Your son can hold on, please recover quickly!"
A brilliant golden light shone from Zhao Xiaolong's body, and his armored army formed a battle formation, transforming into a golden torrent that fiercely resisted the evil energy that broke through the remnant souls' defenses. His voice was as powerful as a bell: "Rest assured, Human Emperor! We swear to defend the great formation to the death and will never allow those black-robed scum to set foot in the three universes!"
The cultivators behind the defensive line shouted in unison, their voices shaking the starry sky. Even though the void beneath their feet was constantly cracking and their souls were tormented by the wailing of the remnant souls, not one of them chose to retreat!
Everyone was determined to fight to the death and never retreat!
On the other side, the battle between the Evil Emperor and the Black Fiend Venerable has reached a fever pitch.
The two exchanged blows, their peak-level Dao Realm power clashing. Each impact turned the surrounding starry sky into chaos, which was then reformed.
"boom!"
It was another head-on collision, and the two were sent flying backwards at the same time, their black robes and imperial robes fluttering without wind.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Black Fiend Venerable beneath his blood-red mask: "You are not a cultivator from this universe, you... are actually from the Upper Realm?"
The Evil Emperor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, "What's it to you? Today, you won't be able to step out of this starry sky."
