The Second Sword Emperor's face darkened instantly, and he snorted, "He's just relying on his seniority to obtain the Heavenly Artifact Xuanyuan Sword, forged by the Pill Emperor."

"Without the Xuanyuan Sword, what threat could this old man pose?"

The Emperor frowned. "Even if I lose the Xuanyuan Sword, you will not be allowed to lay a finger on Lan Hua!"

"oh?"

The Second Sword Emperor said slyly, "I'm not interested in that kid today, but I am very interested in your Xuanyuan Sword."

"Old man, I advise you to obediently hand over the Xuanyuan Sword, or you won't see the sun rise tomorrow!"

The reason he valued the Xuanyuan Sword was because of its power as a celestial weapon. With the Xuanyuan Sword, how could the Sword Emperor be his match? He would surely be able to shed the title of second place.

The Emperor roared, "Don't even think about it!"

"This Xuanyuan Sword was bestowed upon me by the Heavenly Emperor Dantian; how could I possibly hand it over to you!"

"Then let's cut the fluff and fight!"

The Second Sword Emperor swept his sword horizontally, his sword energy flowing like a mighty river, endless and extremely fierce.

The Emperor swung his sword down, its light stretching for thousands of feet, shattering the incoming sword energy.

Two terrifying forces erupted, once again creating countless spatial rifts in the void.

This time, the onlookers had learned from experience and had already distanced themselves from the battlefield long beforehand; most of the cultivators with lower cultivation levels had already retreated back to the Xuanhuang Continent.

The Second Sword Emperor let out a "Huh?" and snorted, "Old man, you're quite something!"

"Ice Emperor, as long as this old man is around, you can't stop Lan Hua from undergoing her tribulation."

"Why don't we eliminate the Human Emperor first, and then stop Lan Hua from becoming Emperor? What do you think?"

Ice Emperor's mind raced. He realized that the Second Sword Emperor was still eyeing the Human Emperor's Xuanyuan Sword and wanted to take it by force.

However, considering that the Emperor was immortal and could not stop Lan Hua, he finally agreed.

The Human Emperor roared, "You did follow Emperor Dantian to the second level to fight, but that is not a reason for you to betray the Heavenly Domain."

"Aren't you afraid that the emperors of the Heavenly Realm will suppress you and make it impossible for you to ever rise again?"

The Second Sword Emperor sneered, "Suppress? What a joke!"

"Old man, if those emperors of the Heavenly Realm were truly united, they would have come to your aid long ago. Why wait until now?"

"In the eyes of these emperors, everything is nothing but self-interest, and they only care about their own benefit!"

"very good!"

The Emperor said "very good" three times in a row, and then roared, "I haven't raised my hand for tens of thousands of years, but today I will unleash a massacre!"

"Second Sword Emperor, Ice Emperor, do you have the courage to follow me into the alternate dimension for a battle?"

The Second Sword Emperor gave an "oh," raising his voice as he laughed, "What wouldn't I dare?"

After saying that, one of them rushed into the spatial rift.

Upon seeing this, the Ice Emperor hesitated slightly before following him inside.

The Emperor turned and glanced at Lan Hua, his eyes filled with hope and expectation for him.

"Girl, take good care of this boy!"

With a flick of the Xuanyuan Sword, sword energy cleaved open a spatial rift, and the Human Emperor flashed into it.

Zi Yue gripped the killing sword tightly with both hands, her face filled with emotion.

In order to hold back the two emperors, the Human Emperor deliberately provoked them, dragging them into the spatial rift.

This battle may very well be a one-way trip.

The key question is how long the Human Emperor can hold off the two of them and whether he can persist until Lan Hua successfully breaks through to the next realm.

Zi Yue was unaware of all this.

Among the onlookers, Wei Wuji, the master of the Dan Shen Palace, knew the situation was dire and looked anxious, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

At this moment, Lan Hua's fusion of the Imperial Pill and her primordial spirit reached a critical juncture, and her aura climbed to its peak.

However, this last step is also the most difficult.

Lan Hua firmly believes that her understanding of the Emperor's Mysteries is correct.

The primordial spirit has been branded with a mark, which has transformed into the power of rules, binding the primordial spirit and the imperial core.

Within the alternate dimension, the Second Sword Emperor and the Ice Emperor joined forces to launch a fierce attack.

The three emperors have all summoned their Dharma forms, and their true bodies and Dharma forms have merged into one, forming a body that is a thousand feet tall.

Upon reaching the Emperor level, one's true form can freely expand, just like a Dharma body.

The two emperors were powerful, and although the Human Emperor had a celestial artifact in hand, he was injured by the Great Dao.

After a series of battles, the Human Emperor's injuries were on the verge of exploding, and he was merely putting on a brave face.

"Hahaha, Human Emperor, I told you you wouldn't live past tonight, so don't even think about living!"

The Second Sword Emperor unleashed a furious slash, his ten-thousand-foot-long sword beam tearing through the spatial turbulence and striking fiercely towards the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor also cleaved through the suddenly appearing spatial storm, then swung his sword backhand to block the Second Sword Emperor's sword beam.

Just then, the Ice Emperor charged in wielding an ice blade, just as the Human Emperor's old injuries flared up, making it difficult for him to defend himself.

The ten-thousand-foot-long blade of energy struck the Human Emperor, nearly cleaving him in two.

The Human Emperor let out a muffled groan, and his enormous body flashed with light as his wounds disappeared, though a considerable amount of blood flowed out.

The Ice Emperor sneered, "Human Emperor, let's see how many swords you can withstand?"

"You cannot fathom my abilities! Kill me!"

The Human Emperor swung his sword, unleashing a golden sword beam that slashed out, striking the Second Sword Emperor and the Ice Emperor.

"I'll serve you!"

A hint of excitement appeared in the eyes of the Second Sword Emperor. He raised his longsword high and unleashed a sword beam that stretched for ten thousand feet.

boom!

The Second Sword Emperor and the Human Emperor were both knocked back tens of millions of feet, but at this moment, the Ice Emperor unleashed a full-force blade aura.

The Human Emperor had no time to dodge and unleashed a palm strike with vast Yuan Power, only to have it shattered by the terrifying blade energy.

The blade struck the Human Emperor's left shoulder, severing him at the shoulder.

The Emperor groaned again, his face contorted in immense pain.

After his left arm was severed, the Human Emperor shouted loudly, and his body flashed with golden light. His severed left arm was reunited with his body.

A powerhouse at the Earthly Sovereign level has already escaped reincarnation, possesses an almost indestructible golden body, and is extremely difficult to kill.

Even if the body is damaged, it can recover quickly, unless it is injured by the Great Dao.

"Ice Emperor, you're no good!"

"You hold this old bastard back, I'll kill him!"

The Second Sword Emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with the Ice Emperor, as the opportunity he created was not properly seized by the Ice Emperor.

"what ever!"

With a loud shout, the Ice Emperor unleashed his ice blade once more, a ten-thousand-foot-long blade aura piercing through the air, tearing open long cracks in the alternate dimension.

The Emperor snorted coldly, and the Xuanyuan Sword was drawn again, shattering the blade's aura.

But at that moment, the Second Sword Emperor's ultimate move struck, the sword light containing terrifying sword intent.

The Emperor was caught off guard and struck in the chest by the sword light once more, splitting his body in two.

When the body was fully integrated, the Human Emperor felt excruciating pain in his soul, as his body was pierced by countless small holes by the terrifying sword intent.

"Such powerful sword intent!"

The Emperor's Sword Intent was incredibly powerful, leaving a wound on the Human Emperor that damaged his fighting strength.

"Old man, how many more swords can you last?" the Second Sword Emperor laughed wildly.

"With my body, exchanging one for one is no problem!"

On the continent of death.

Everyone was extremely anxious, as the Human Emperor and the other two emperors had been in the alternate dimension for five whole days.

Anyone with eyes can see that the Human Emperor is no match for those two great emperors.

Defeat, or even death, was only a matter of time.

At that moment, Lan Hua's radiance increased dramatically, and the aura she emitted reached its peak.

A massive tri-colored beam of light shot into the sky, shattering the already enormous vortex before quickly disappearing.

Zi Yue's heart was in her throat as she murmured, "Is she about to break through?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky was filled with golden light.

A massive golden beam of light descended from the sky and struck Lan Hua, leading everyone to believe that another emperor was about to attack.

However, Lan Hua remained steady, and the aura she emitted miraculously surged.

At the same time, countless auras of royalty appeared in the sky, containing the power of the Great Dao Laws, and surged towards Lan Hua's body.

The power of the emperor was also spreading to the surrounding areas of the Death Continent, gradually bringing a glimmer of life to the already desolate continent.

"My God, is this the power of an emperor? Why can I feel such a strong life force?"

"To witness a king break through to a higher realm in this lifetime, even death would be without regret!"

Zi Yue finally relaxed her brows and exclaimed joyfully, "This is the power of an emperor! Xiao Hua Zi has succeeded!"
